Man found in 88-year-old's Walney bedroom
Last updated at 17:00, Thursday, 29 November 2012
AN elderly woman has described the terrifying moment she found a black-clad intruder in her bedroom.
The Walney resident, who wished to remain anonymous, was at her home in Bristol Street during the incident on Tuesday.
The grandmother-of-two had been having a hair cut in the kitchen of her property before the break-in, and showed her hairdresser out of the front door at around 2pm.
Shortly afterwards she headed upstairs and found a man dressed in black in her bedroom.
She told the Evening Mail: "I said 'What are you doing in my bedroom?'
"He asked me if I was Angela, and said he was there to deliver a washing machine to Liverpool Street, and that he had come in through the back door.
"I said that was two streets away and he laughed and said he had the wrong house."
Police have since determined that there was no-one in Liverpool Street called Angela expecting a washing machine.
"I showed him out of the back door and called my son.
"I just wanted him out of the house as quickly as possible," the woman said.
Her son, who also wished to remain anonymous, said: "My mum called and said there's a burglar in my bedroom.
"I asked my neighbour to call the police and got there as quickly as I could.
"The police arrived at around the same time and we searched the house.
"It was just panic really, she's a vulnerable person, she's got bad eyesight and her legs are shaky. What kind of man does this?"
The woman said: "I only slept an hour last night, I kept seeing him standing there, and today I've been constantly checking that the doors are locked.
"I have lived here for 64 years and I have never had anything like this before.
"I'm lucky really that he left and didn't turn violent."
Her son added: "She will feel like that for a while I think.
"It's anger we feel now really, he's lucky I wasn't there.
"I have had a business burgled before and you don't realise how it will affect you that someone has been in your personal space."
The intruder, a white male, was described as being around 30 to 35 years old, about 5ft 7in, with black shaggy hair and a round, clean shaven face.
His accent was described as not local, and he was wearing dark clothing.
He was also holding a yellow notebook.
Police believe he entered the property through the front door while the occupant was having her hair cut.
Sergeant John Dilks, part of the team investigating the incident, said: "We have a number of detectives working on this case, and anyone with any information is asked to call Barrow CID on 101."

Public Housing Operating Cost Study Harvard Graduate School of Design Monthly Public Meeting of the Public Housing Operating Cost Study May 15, 2001 Notes Attendees: Greg Byrne, Harvard Design School Joanne Farmer, HUD, Public and Indian Housing Jenn Fogel-Bublick, Senate Banking Committee Deb Gross, Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) Dushaw Hockett, Center for Community Change/ Public Housing Residents National Organizing Campaign Joan Howell, PHMI Tim Kaiser, Public Housing Authorities Directors Association (PHADA) Marlene Kalenak, Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) Jeff Lines, TAG Associates Gretchen Maneval, Harvard Design School Regina McGill, HUD, Funding and Financial Management Frank Minore, General Accounting Office Tony O'Leary, Akron Metro Housing Authority Christine Siksa, National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) Christopher Stevens, HUD, Funding and Financial Management Ted Van Dyke, Public Housing Authorities Directors Association (PHADA) Sunia Zaterman, Council of Large Public Housing Authorities (CLPHA) Jonathan Zimmerman, National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) Meeting Summary: The purpose of the May 2001 public meeting of the Public Housing Operating Cost Study was to communicate the progress and status of the Cost Study. In April, the Cost Study published the ―Discussion of Research Issues and Initial Recommendations for Review‖, and conducted regional meetings in April and May to present this document and receive feedback from the public, industry groups, public housing authority (PHA) representatives, HUD, OMB, and other interested parties. During the May 15 public meeting, Greg Byrne mainly discussed the regional meetings the Cost Study team had conducted over the previous month and a half, including a detailed review of the questions asked at the regional meetings1. The Public set forth many questions/comments, both relevant to the Regional Meeting Questions being discussed, and to the Discussion Document. All of these questions will be documented with responses in the Final Research Design. Furthermore, the Cost Study will be meeting with CLPHA, NAHRO, and PHADA representatives on May 23rd to address questions and issues regarding the use of FHA data by the Study. Greg Byrne discussed the project schedule, the fact that the Cost Study team is currently working on a detailed comparison of the similarities and differences of public and assisted housing regulations, and a brief discussion of the case study protocol. 1 A list of the Regional Meetings Questions is located in Appendix 1. May 15, 2001 1 Public Housing Operating Cost Study Harvard Graduate School of Design 1. Regional Meetings and Review of Questions Asked at Meetings2 • Greg Byrne related that for the purpose of presenting the Discussion Document to stakeholders, the Cost Study team conducted nine regional meetings, plus a presentation at the national PHADA meeting (including a PHADA executive committee meeting.) The regional meetings were not well attended by PHAs despite outreach and communication by Cost Study staff, HUD, and the industry groups. Kansas City had the largest number of attendees, about twenty people, but the average attendance was about five people. Several possibilities for the low attendance rate may be: PHAs feel the industry groups are representing their interests sufficiently; many PHAs were planning to attend the presentation at the PHADA meeting; PHAs were too busy to attend; or there wasn't enough time given for the PHAs to read the Discussion Document (suggested by Sunia Zaterman). Greg Byrne also conducted a national HUD telecast to present the Discussion Document. • Sunia Zaterman suggested that the contents of the FHA database be made more clear, including the definition of type of assistance (inferring that the degree of assistance correlates to costs), the number of programs, and regulatory differences. Greg Byrne asked what Sunia felt would be the impact of different levels of assistance (i.e. partially versus fully assisted properties)? Sunia replied that in her opinion, project-based Section 8 developments would have lower income and larger families than unassisted. Greg replied that the Cost Study would make sure to look at the distribution of level of assistance, and that the Study will be using tenant characteristics such as income, as well as bedroom size of units, to address the difference in size of families. These issues will be further discussed at the May 23rd meeting. • Deb Gross asked what information exists regarding the type of ownership for the assisted housing stock? Greg responded that unlimited dividend, limited dividend, and non-profit designations are made. Further, Deb asked if categories such as profit and capital investment were reflected in the database. Greg said the Study will look at the relationship of cost to ownership structure. • Ted Van Dyke asked what the impact was of profit motives, with the thinking that profit motivated owners would tend to drive costs down. Ted added that in public housing, there is no profit incentive to holding costs down. Deb Gross added the example that in private housing, they may replace only a piece of damaged carpet, while in public housing, the whole carpet might be replaced. Tony O'Leary said that the level of service in public housing might be higher, for example, his PHA provides 24 hours 7 days a week maintenance availability, and in his opinion, this is unlike what the private operators would provide. • Jonathan Zimmerman asked whether the Study would be able to look at trends of purchasing and sales of the properties relative to operating cost trends (presumption being that if costs are a snap shot, they may be skewed due to this cycle). Greg replied that the Study would be working with five years worth of data (1996-2000). Additionally, the fact that there are 10,000 properties in the database should even out the individual differences in the buying and selling cycle. • Ted Van Dyke wanted to make sure the Study was reviewing the cost drivers that are not regulatory, such as insurance, workers compensation, etc. • Tim Kaiser suggested that for the case studies, the team should visit as many dual providers as possible (those PHAs administering both public and assisted housing). Greg said the team is planning to do that. • Sunia offered a general comment on the research design. Sunia feels that the reconnaissance phase was incomplete for the following reasons: unanswered questions about what is in the FHA 2 The review of the Questions document from the regional meetings elicited other tangential and sometimes unrelated questions from the Public. The Public meeting is therefore documented in a slightly ad hoc manner, which follows the order of conversation, and not necessarily the agenda. If a reply from Greg Byrne is not documented, this means Greg acknowledged the comment/question, and it will be recorded and added to the list of questions, and taken under advisement by the Study. May 15, 2001 2 Public Housing Operating Cost Study Harvard Graduate School of Design data, and how good of a predictor it is for public housing costs; the first tasks should have been to look at housing authority operations and costs, which could have informed the FHA database (instead of the database informing the case studies); unclear whether the FHA regression can successfully predict costs without looking at actual properties; the placement of Chapter 6 at the end of the Discussion Document rather than at the beginning because this seems to articulate the vision of the Study; and the Negotiated Rulemaking Committee requested a variety of alternatives to create a formula — this approach only gives one. Greg replied that finding FHA comparables in every community is too expensive, and no matter what data are used (FHA or PHA), the predictive power would be challenged. The comparables approach might result in the most accurate figures, but this would be the most expensive design, and issues of local discretion and subjectivity come into play. Finally, no matter what database is used (whether public or assisted), the costs of a few would still be used to predict the cost of the many. • Jonathan asked the Study to expand on why the Lambert Advisory method is 2nd as an approach for the model? Second, Jonathan asked whether Greg felt the Cost Study's method satisfied the conference report, the negotiated rulemaking recommendations, and the HUD contract. Greg replied yes. • Ted Van Dyke requested that the Study look at whether public housing generates more work orders than assisted housing, and if they do, this should be considered as a big cost driver. Greg replied that might be an area for the case studies. • Jonathan asked if enough PHAs have project based budgets, would the Study use these data? Greg replied yes, if the data exist. • Tony O'Leary asked how the Study would be determining whether an FHA property was well run? Greg replied that the Study may use REAC scores to truncate the database. Sunia commented that the S & P evaluations of the condition of units is not the most accurate indication of strong management. • Jonathan asked whether the Study had looked at the private management of public housing? Greg replied that the Study has looked at this, but that no conclusions had been drawn yet. Sunia added that she had heard that costs of private management of public housing increase over time. Greg indicated that he was not aware of any such trend. • Sunia asked what information came out of the resident focus groups. Gretchen Maneval replied that two resident focus groups were conducted. Residents gave valuable feedback that was captured in notes; all of the issues that were brought up reflected either points that are addressed in the Study's Discussion Document, or have been raised by other stakeholders, and have been already addressed. The Resident Focus group notes will be posted on the Cost Study website per Sunia's request. • Jonathan Zimmerman asked what other studies/methodologies had the Cost Study reviewed/taken into consideration when designing the underpinnings of the Study, and whether any studies similar to the Cost Study had been undertaken. • Jeff Lines requested that the Cost Study take into consideration: the possibility that the FHA database is inferior; the differentiation between PHA types, properties, and level of expectations; and, in his opinion, the theory that costs increase after private management takes over public housing because the private management entity starts being perceived as the PHA. • Sunia requested that the Study take a more detailed look at tenant characteristics than the national aggregate level, especially for family housing, by using the Picture of Subsidized Households database. Greg said the Study would try to do some runs like this for the CLPHA, NAHRO, PHADA May 23rd meeting. • Ted Van Dyke queried whether profit should be included as an operating cost for FHA properties, and whether the Cost Study could isolate the profit of these properties. • Tim Kaiser suggested looking at how property taxes affect operating costs. • Jonathan asked what the Cost Study would be using as a neighborhood distress indicator. Greg said the multivariate analysis that the Study will conduct will take into consideration different May 15, 2001 3 Public Housing Operating Cost Study Harvard Graduate School of Design types of census tracts. CLPHA asked what standard GSD would be using to identify neighborhood distress, as HUD uses different standards for different programs. • Deb Gross asked whether the Study had taken into account the costs/characteristics of public goods. Greg replied that the Study had done research on that issue, including reviewing the information Deb had provided. Gretchen Maneval added that most of the information/books addressing public goods contain conflicting opinions about the costs associated with them. Furthermore, the evidence presented is mostly anecdotal, not nearly quantitative, or even qualitative enough to support an opinion as to the type and magnitude of the cost of public goods. • Jonathan asked about several possible indicators of costs, and whether the Cost Study would be using them: square footage, mortgage age versus construction date, nonmetro designation, quality of building. Greg replied that both the square footage and construction date of the FHA properties will be obtained through the FOMNS database, which the Study has been requesting from HUD for several months. Non-metro designation is no longer an issue, as the Study will be using census data. Sunia added that she would like the Study to look at the quality of systems and building materials originally used to construct public housing, as cost constraints affected the quality. • Tim Kaiser asked what HUD and OMB's feelings were about the Study's proposals. Regina McGill from HUD said they were currently reviewing the proposal, receiving comments from the field, and that HUD would comment on the Discussion Document soon. • Rick Parker commented that he would like the Study and stakeholders to agree on the standards of regression analysis on the front end. • Jonathan requested that summary tables of Rural Housing Service (RHS) data be provided. Greg said that when these data are released to the Study, they would be shared. • Ted asked whether the Study could use military housing as a benchmark for costs. Greg replied that the Study had researched the costs and operations of military housing. Due to exorbitant costs revealed through several studies, the military has been privatizing its housing stock. Ted asked about using State public housing. Greg replied that State public housing has been historically underfunded, so it would not behoove the federal public housing program to benchmark its costs to the States'. • Tony requested that the age, condition, and amount of capital investment be used in the regression analysis. Greg said that unfortunately, information about the amount of capital investment is not available in a national database, only at a local level. Tony said that the Section 8 units that his housing authority administers are in poorer condition than his public housing stock, and that building condition is the most important cost driver. • Tim Kaiser recommended that the Study not use PHAS due to the controversy surrounding it, and perhaps just use the management indicator, and the other indicators from PHMAP. Deb Gross added that in her opinion, the PHAS scores are arbitrary. Ted requested that the Study look at the costs of average well run PHAs instead of superstars. • Sunia requested that the Study test the protocol of the case studies with a few PHAs before all of them are conducted. Sunia also recommended using a two tier approach — first conducting comprehensive evaluations of a smaller number of PHAs, then distributing self reporting surveys on key issues (perhaps electronically), on which the larger sample could respond to the findings of the comprehensive evaluations. Greg thought this was a good suggestion. Jonathan asked whether the case studies would be conducted at the development level or the PHA level, and whether the one-year of data would be examined, or projections would be made. • Ted asked whether performance standards would be looked at. Greg replied that they would be taken into consideration. Sunia added that the issue of the level of services provided should be examined. May 15, 2001 4 Public Housing Operating Cost Study Harvard Graduate School of Design 2. Project Schedule • Greg said the finalized research design would be completed by mid-June. The Study is continuing with the multivariate analysis of all databases, and in two to three months (July or August), the team will have a good handle on the regression models. A chart of the similarities and differences of public and assisted housing regulations will be completed by the early June. • The protocols for the case studies will be developed by the end of June; from July through September the case studies will be conducted, and be finished in late fall. • By the end of 2001, the Study will be wrapping up. • Greg said the Study would post public comments to the website. Sunia requested that they also be included with the final research design. May 15, 2001 5 Public Housing Operating Cost Study Harvard Graduate School of Design Appendix 1 REGIONAL MEETINGS LIST OF COMMENTS/QUESTIONS 1. Comments regarding similarities and differences in regulations/operating environment between public and assisted housing. • Additional areas of regulations that were not included in GSD report, e.g., deconcentration, pet rules, etc. • Items that were identified as being similar but that are in fact different, e.g., grievance rules. • Differences in enforcement of regulations. • Differences in public scrutiny or the fact that public housing is held to higher standard. • Concern over the impact of ―old‖ regulations that have since been removed but still affect costs. • Concern that PHAs are more than sum of operating costs of each property – for example, local housing planning functions, resident services, development of affordable housing, etc. • Concern over fact that PHAs are creatures of state enabling legislation and that there are many unavoidable ―local‖ costs, e.g., state procurement laws, wages/benefits, local politics, special municipal ordinances, etc. 2. Comments regarding the use of FHA-assisted housing as a benchmark. • Concern over the ―quality‖ of management in FHA-assisted housing. • How will GSD determine what is ―well-run‖ FHA-housing? • Concern over differences in tenant population. • Concern that the physical attributes of FHA-assisted housing may not be sufficiently comparable to public housing, e.g., FHA-assisted has fewer large properties and fewer properties with preponderance of large units. • Concern that FHA-assisted housing is also ―circular‖ with respect to operating costs. • Concern that owners of FHA-assisted housing may have different motivations (profit, resale, etc.) that may affect their operating spending patterns. • Request that PHAs be able to obtain the addresses/costs of FHA properties in their markets. • Concern that FHA database does not include enough variables on each property (acreage, topography, physical condition, etc.). • Concern over the importance of neighborhood location as a driver in costs. 3. Comments regarding use of regression model to predict public housing costs at a property level. • Concern that metro area identifiers are not that precise. • Concern that a regression model will be better at predicting ―portfolio‖ costs than ―project‖ costs. • Recommend that test against properties not in the FHA database. • Concern over a ―range‖ of costs rather than simply a ―number‖ for each property. May 15, 2001 6 Public Housing Operating Cost Study Harvard Graduate School of Design 4. Comments regarding Rejection of ―Sample of Well-run PHAs‖ as Recommended Methodology • Concern that GSD not spent enough time attempting to examine existing PHA costs or develop appropriate methodology for capturing/examining those costs. 5. Comments regarding case studies. • How many agencies will be included? • How will these agencies be selected? How will GSD determine ―well-run?‖ • Will the industry be able to review the recommended protocol? 6. Comments regarding new financing program for public housing • Concern over availability of credit enhancements. • Concern over capacity/culture of HUD to implement (and PHAs, too). • Concern that FHA-insurance is a ―Model T.‖ • Concern over need for transition period or demonstration program. • Concern over requirement for project-based budgeting. • Concern that Congress/HUD would never allow PHAs to accrue replacement reserves or would change the way public housing modernization is funded today (direct grants as opposed to debt financing). • Concern over estimate of replacement reserve funding. • Relationship of financing program and market rents. • Fear that HUD would dictate the standards of capital improvements too much. 7. Other Comments/Concerns • Concern over use of REAC data (too new, too inconsistent, etc.) • Concern over design/comparability of public housing vis-a-vis private housing in relationship to utility study. • Differences in mission of public and assisted housing (and expansion of services in public housing). • Concern over the need for transition relief in any new formula system. • Impact of Study on small PHAs and cost-effectiveness of smaller agencies. • Future role, if any, of Neg-Reg Committee upon completion of Study. • Concern over how GSD will handle distressed properties. • Question as to usefulness of various ―mixed-finance‖ operating cost data.

Now, track gunfire with your smartphone
Washington: Researchers have developed a new device which helps users track gunfire with their smartphones, popping a map of the neighbourhood on its screen pointing in the direction the shot came from.
Computer engineers from Vanderbilt University`s Institute of Software Integrated Systems has made such a scenario possible by developing an inexpensive hardware module and related software that can transform an Android smartphone into a simple shooter location system.
The technology takes advantage of the fact that all but the lowest powered firearms produce unique sonic signatures when they are fired.
First, there is the muzzle blast ? an expanding balloon of sound that spreads out from the muzzle each time the rifle is fired. Second, bullets travel at supersonic velocities so they produce distinctive shockwaves as they travel.
As a result, a system that combines an array of sensitive microphones, a precise clock and an off-the-shelf microprocessor can detect these signatures and use them to pinpoint the location from which a shot is fired with remarkable accuracy.
Like the military version, the smartphone system needs several nodes in order to pinpoint a shooter`s location. As a result, it is best suited for security teams or similar groups.
In addition to the smartphone, the system consists of an external sensor module about the size of a deck of cards that contains the microphones and the processing capability required to detect the acoustic signature of gunshots, log their time and send that information to the smartphone by a Bluetooth connection.
The smartphones then transmit that information to the other modules, allowing them to obtain the origin of the gunshot by triangulation.
The researchers have developed two versions. One uses a single microphone per module. It uses both the muzzle blast and shockwave to determine the shooter location. It requires six modules to obtain accurate locations.
The second version uses a slightly larger module with four microphones and relies solely on the shockwave. It requires only two modules to accurately detect the direction a shot comes from; however, it only provides a rough estimate of the range.

Runny glad the peeper is okay.
Voting this morning and then SM.
LilyP fingers still crossed for Hong Kongers.
Heck soz if I've offended, my OH used to work out his route as most economical for the firm then they installed a system that planned their routes so they used to wave hello to each other as they passed up and down the motorway, working in each others areas. Then trackers were fitted and they could tell if you moved the damn van off the drive to get the car out
I'd alter the route unless you have a tracker fitted ..joking Go steady.
Caral why not grow a few from seed far cheaper than a grated plant and if some don't germinate no problem.
Hosta be careful Drive slowly and you might see a garden centre where you can have a little rest.
Honda get my vote, they are pricey but well worth the money.
I have experience of a Hayter mower, does the job well, less expensive but not a substantially built mower like a Honda.
Great news Matty
Have a good evening everyone
I don't have an allotment but grow veg so sometimes have a peek at what you are all doing / growing Well impressed
Gardengirl congratulations on getting a plot

And Now…What Conservative Churches Must Do
Churches that believe marriage should only be between a man and a woman now must decide what to do--in light of the Supreme Court's ruling.

And what would it say about them if they simply bow to the high court's ruling and begin accepting gay unions as legitimate marriages? If not, will they begin to recognize the inconsistency between resisting in this case and … [Read more...]

Day 3
... I realized there was no way Kylee was going to sit through this. There was way too much tilting and shaking of the simulator. So Kaleb and I went on while Jodi met up with Karyn. The simulator was good and both Kaleb and I felt like we needed to take a shower because it was so hot inside. The tour of the museum began by walking through a Boeing 787 hanging from the rafters. Next up, we moved on to exhibits contains electricity. Moving on to 2nd floor ...
Exploring the shops

We stopped in at "Whole Foods", a popular supermarket that we have acquainted ourselves with on previous visits. Stocked with supplies for lunch, we returned via another regular haunt, "Binneys", a popular liquor outlet selling beer, wine and spirits at prices unheard of in Australia. For example, ...

Nope it was hiding, so we went on the original one.
This time we went to Navy Pier. I'm so glad we had our parkas, as the wind was very chill. On yet another boat this time round part of Lake Michigan, where we had a different view of the city from there.

Amelie was most excited about the offered pillow and blanket. Oliver was excited about the entire experience and that he would be in Spain when we landed. Ian really wanted to stay in Chicago, and Elyse, well the entire trip has been nothing but "wows" from her. Overall, we had an amazing flight. And then, the fun began!

As promised I'm just writing to let you know that I received the ring, and just as before the quality and beauty exceeded my expectations. My fiance and I were speechless. He actually confessed that once I left house on Saturday, he wore the ring for an hour. Anyway, thank you very much.
Wedding Ring in Rose Gold with Pink Sapphires and Diamonds
We received the ring today and it is so beautiful. I'm so happy that I found your site, it made getting the perfect ring so easy. Making a big purchase via the internet was a little scary, but after speaking with you I felt better. I have to wait 2 weeks until the wedding to start wearing it...I can't wait. Having that ring just makes the whole wedding perfect. Thank you so much.
P.S. I loved the ring the instant I saw it on your site and I had my instincts confirmed as we toured jewelry shops in NYC looking for my fiance's ring. All of the run of the mill shops had nothing anywhere like it...only at a small Soho boutique jeweler did we finally encounter one ring that resembled it (they sold Carl Blackburn rings). I was so proud to see my taste confirmed as unique and beautiful! Thanks to you for selling such a unique ring when so many retailers stick with the status quo - you showed me something I had never seen before.

I can't even tell where the enlargement took place on the ring's shank. Thanks again for all of your help and enjoy the rest of the summer!
Edwardian Sapphire and Diamond Fligree Pin
I received my beautiful pin yesterday--it was definitely the bright spot in my day! I've been collecting antique jewelry ever since I got engaged 19 (hard to believe as I'm writing this!) ago and I received an antique diamond ring from my husband-to-be. I must say this brooch is one of the very nicest things I own...I have other things with rose cut diamonds, but these are so clear that I think I'm seeing into the clearest, most glittery water when I look down into them.
I am so impressed with your website that I visit it almost daily! Not only are the things you offer very tough to find and unique, you do a great job describing the jewels. I also haven't found a thing to disagree with on your dating of the pieces, and also am very impressed that you clearly differentiate between actual antiques and reproductions. I can't tell you how many times I've seen "antique" pieces on Ebay, felt tempted to bid on them, decided to wait, and later found the same exact mountings in later auctions! I have nothing against reproductions, but I feel it's best to know what you're paying for.
I'm hoping I will be buying from you again soon...keep up the great work with your website!

I'd take it out. 3' apart is a bit close for hawthorn anyway. After 3 years you should be able to get the root as well. Your hard mossy fungus might be lichen, which is no problem.
Can you post a photo?
I don't think it's a pulmonaria.
A view of a whole leaf in good but not glaring light would help, and maybe the plant from the top. sorry
Terrible responsibilty, pother peoples' plants. I had some to look after for a week and the stress was enormous

I tried that a few years ago B-L, I had a bit of a balance problem, one capsized
They've got shallower over the years Matt
though they were never much
I'm using big pots rather than growbags, I like the extra depth. Have you had the frosts we've had Rhod? If so, I'll stop worrying

Thanks hollie and B-L, that's what I wanted to hear.
I've got several toms that I've been keeping on a windowsill at night and out in the cold GH most days as thelight is better. They now need another potting on which will make them too big for the windowsill. Can I leave them in the GH now please? What's the lowest temperature they can cope with.

Product description
Takao was the first of four Takao-class heavy cruisers designed to be an improvement over the previous Myoko-class design. The Myoko had proved to be unstable and required modifications, which were incorporated into the Takao design. The Takao-class ships were approved under the 1927 fiscal year budget as part of the Imperial Japanese Navy's strategy of the Decisive Battle, forming the backbone of a multipurpose long-range strike force. Takao was built by the Yokosuka Naval shipyards, and like her sister ships, was named after a mountain. Launched on 12 May 1930 at the Yokosuka Navy Yard and commissioned on 31 May 1932, she was the lead ship of her class, assigned to the Pacific from the start of the war. In early 1942, Takao operated in the Java Sea in operations culminating in the Battle of the Java Sea in early March, when one of Takao's floatplanes bombed the Dutch merchant ship Enggano. The next night, Takao and Atago overtook the old United States Navy destroyer Pillsbury and sank her with no survivors. Throughout the rest of the war she was involved in various Pacific campaigns against the Allies.About the Series This series focuses on the construction of famous ships - battleships, carriers, cruisers, and submarines. With ground-breaking 3D imagery, each corner, angle, and dimension of the ship is viewable. With various close-up views, and each 3D image based on actual technical scale drawings and photographs, this makes an exceptional reference tool. Information on the design, development and combat history of each vessel is also included, as well as numerous photographs and 1/350th scale drawings.

High-temperature superconducting DC networks are studied as a feasible alternative to AC power transmission systems. The DC network operates at generation voltages allowing direct connection of the generators to the rectifiers, eliminating the need for high-voltage insulation and transformers. The DC system is based on a mesh-connected low-voltage high-current superconducting DC transmission network supplied by unit-connected generators. The DC system feeds many small inverters that pass controlled levels of real and reactive power to AC loads. This paper presents an overview of superconducting low-voltage DC transmission systems, starting with a discussion of the DC system. This discussion is followed by an overview of the operation of AC distribution systems connected to the superconducting DC mesh and then inverter topologies and control strategies required for interfacing the AC distribution systems to the DC mesh. The paper presents a conceptual overview of the operation of the system based on simulation studies.<>

ATI Radeon HD 5670 512MB Video CardRunning a bit late, the ATI reference HD 5670 finally arrives. We see what this 512MB version offers us when compared to the 1GB model.
Normally we would get our reference ATI product in time for the launch, but I think with holidays and the fact that we already had a retail version ready for the NDA lift, along with the fact that the model probably doesn't draw the same attention as some of the higher end ones, it came a little later than normal.
It did arrive, however, and that is ultimately what matters. It's just a matter of deciding what we're going to do with it. Having already looked at one HD 5670 and being impressed with what the model is able to do for its $99 price tag, we'll have to see how the ATI reference one looks.
While reference cards tend to be a bit boring in many ways, it's good to look at them all the same; they set a base point of which each variant of the card can be compared against. It's good to know how much better companies coolers are when compared to a reference one along with performance numbers when comparing to an overclocked version.
We'll decide what to do with it in just a few moments. Before we do that, we'll have a quick look at the card itself and the specifications. Since the model is a reference one, there's no package to look at this time around, so let's get stuck into the card.

The following are images I've found online for 16th century archers, from earliest to latest. I will add more as I find more.
Archery, Research, archery, research
(Cross posted from A Gentlewoman's Blog: http://kimiko1.com/blog/2015/05/arc
The following are images I've found online for 16th century archers, from earliest to latest. I will add more as I find more.
Yeah, I know, it has again been a long while since I last posted. But good news is that I am excited about a new project, Archery!
Archery, you say??? Yes, Archery. And this time it means more than just bows and arrows, it means my family is joining me in the SCA in an activity we all want to participate in doing.
Which means, for me the historical costumer, that I need to know what sort of outfits I will be putting my family into, including my husband who I haven't dressed up in anything new since before we were married. Eeeks, that's a long time.
Hubby wants his outfit to be similar to what Master Cromwell is wearing above, which is the reason for the photo. I will be starting with his linen shirts, which I'm working out which style to do. Then the plan is for a simple single layer canvas waist coat, which will be laced to hold up his breeches, most likely of wool. Later will be a nicer linen canvas doublet and wool skirted jacket. He has old fancy court clothes, so these will be more what a country gentleman might wear while practicing at the archery butts, or in common terms, play clothes.
What I will do for the kids is in the air, as they are more happy right now in tunics and comfy clothes.
My archery ideas will also extend to accessories, because, well, we need accessories, and not all things can or will be purchased from the internet archery stores (since my local stores do not carry period longbows and stuff). So, if I work on those, I will blog about them, too. So look for my new category and tag, archery.
And the first thing I have to do, as any good laurel should do, is post about the research images I have recently collected. This time they will be a gallery in this blog, to help me better understand how those work. So look for that as my next post.
Wow, it has been half a year since I wrote in this blog last. That's a long time. I am out of practice it would seem.
So, what have I been doing? Well, I mostly finished the wood chair I had been working on, although I have not had the chance to decorate it. I'm not happy with the wood finish I put on it, so I've stalled on it trying to figure out what to do. It scuffs too much. I've not taken photos that I recall, but will check the files later.
I've not done any work on the wooden boxes. I have the pattern, and someday they will get done.
The banner remains unpainted.
The blackwork for the shirt was finished, but the gold plaitwork embroidery has not begun.
I have been sick with the flu and bronchitis during December, so many of my projects went on hold until very recently. There is one project that I started up a few days ago, and shared the photo on my FB page.
This section will get cut up and appliqued to one of the hanging sleeves to my Laurel Gown, along with other panels. That is why it is being done on an angle, as the sleeve hems are curved. It should work, as the neck was done in a similar way. It was supposed to be done for 12th Night, but illness nixed those plans.
I've not done much artistically in the past six months, but this is a new year, and I've got a new computer to replace my dying laptop, working apps, programs and photo viewers, and other stuff, and lots of creative ideas to get working on. So, while it may be a slow start, I will be posting more.
Btw, I just edited an old post on a Jane Seymour image (an unusual portrait) to update the image, since the old image link was broken. It has a bigger image if you click on the small one. Give it a looksee here.
It has been a month since I posted last, but I have been slowly working on a few creative projects.
One project is a woodworking project. No, I'm not making it from wood, they are already made and purchased, from various sources. I am working on ideas on how to decorate the wooden items. One is a wooden narrow small box that I use for my sewing tools. Another is a set of 2 wooden poles that I need to finish so I can use them for my silk banner. And the final is a lovely, well crafted portable break-down chair I bought from Wildhare Woodworks last GWW, and finally got a couple of weeks ago. I started sanding the wooden items, and filling in minor holes with wood putty, but then we hit 100+ temps and so since I have to do that outside it has been put on hold until the temps come down a little. I still haven't figured out which design I posted on FB best, so I'm just letting those ideas stew a bit longer.
I did start painting my device on a canvas banner. Not much to show there really, just a big blob of yellow on the white canvas. I will share more later.
Last Sunday I worked on an illuminated letter that I've worked on and off since last year sometime. I added in the red squares this time, and started in on all the tiny little dots. I hope to get it turned in to the Kingdom soonish. I just hadn't realized when I chose to do background diapering that all those tiny squares, and then all the white work dots, would take so long to do. I just thought it would be cool to add to make the illumination more period looking.
Having an old laptop that is dying is putting a crimp into my blogging work. But I have an iPad, and finally got around to being able to afford and purchase a keyboard case for it, which means easier ability to type on that iPad. So now I won't have to do a variety of workarounds to get photos uploaded onto my blog like I've had to do because of that dying laptop, at least until I can afford the replacement computer.
So this is my first post with the new setup, including a new blogging app, BlogPad Pro. I've not done too much with the app yet, so we shall see if this app matches the good reviews on it.
So, now to the topic of this blog post, my daughter's new dress that I made for a wedding we attended a few weeks ago in mid May. Being that I was under a bit of a time crunch, I did not take photos of the dress making process. But I did want to give a general review of the pattern I used.
Relle front view
Relle back view
The dress is from Simplicity pattern 1510, which my daughter picked out herself. It is a long dress which my daughter preferred. She also picked out the butterfly quilting fabric, along with a butterfly linen fabric that I still need to make up for the bolero jacket (not pictured).
The pattern made up fairly well by following the directions. I had a few issues in making up the outfit, but overall it went together fairly easily and turned out well. It helped that I made sure to double check my daughter's growing measurements against the pattern measurements, and modified accordingly. This was very important with the length of the dress, as the pattern is several inches longer for the chosen size.
Other issues I had was that the skirt itself is not lined, and the cotton quilting fabric I had was a bit on the sheer side, so I went back to the fabric store to get some linen/cotton fabric that I like to use as a lining fabric, and flatlined the skirt. The bodice itself is fully lined. It also has a zipper, which I need to get a proper sewing foot for invisible zippers next time.
I did have a bit of a fight with turning the straps, so I need to buy a tube turning tool for future use – a tool I normally don't use in my historical clothing, but after spending many minutes fighting each strap, yeah, it needs to be purchased.
The other issue was minor. When I first put on the dress with the hidden button that holds the strap in the back, the dress was puckering at the center back and not lying flat. So I had to move the buttons inwards about an inch each, which allowed the straps to lie within her shoulder blades, and that helped to flatten the straps when she stood normally. But since she is an active girl, the straps and back area often gapped. So, while I didn't get to the jacket for the wedding, I will get it sewn together so that she will have a nice cover for that gapping back.
Which reminds me, the front panel has a wide area for the armscye area, and that means that sometimes you could see a little bit of her pectoral muscle area. She is not one who needs a bra yet but I could see that this might be an issue area for any young woman who is developing a bosom unless the parent doesn't mind a little side boob. This aspect is not clear on the pattern photos.
Overall I really liked how this dress came out. Relle had several positive comments on the wedding day from folks, and she loves the dress. I am very pleased and would recommend this pattern to others.
Yes, I've been quiet, but I've also been slowly plugging away on a few projects. I now have time to update and share what I've been doing on two of them.
First up is progress on my Laurel gown that I am continuing to work on, even tho the main occasion occurred last fall. I still want to finish and eventually wear the fully realized embroidered gown, I hope by Costume College. But it may not be finished until 12th Night at the slow pace I'm going. Either way, it will get done.
I posted a photo of my last panel on FB, which I will share here as well. I know, I forgot to add in a ruler for scale, but roughly the lacing on one side is spaced about an inch apart.
When I posted this image, it brought up a variety of questions that I've attempted to answer, but really I do need to share more of the process in photos, so this blog post hopefully will cover that.
I did set up the slate frame with the silk organza, as I mentioned in this post. Also mentioned in that post was that I marked a guideline and traced my pattern directly onto the silk. But I forgot to mention what that looked like, or what I used. So this next photo has a little more details on that aspect, although the pattern is from the design I put onto the front of my gown bodice, not the simpler pattern I'm now working on.
The above main motif is drawn onto the black silk organza. I marked the main motif with a Marvy white gel pen (archival safe) and Clover yellow fabric pencil. On the current project, I only used the white gel pen. These gel pens can be found at office stores, or the local craft store in the scrapbook section as they are used to decorate paper. But they do a darn fine job of marking the silk organza as well. I do put the pattern under the fabric to follow, but that is not shown in this photo.
With the pattern drawn directly to the fabric, and all the fabric on the slate frame properly, I put the frame into its floor stand holder. Then the fun, if sometimes long and tedious part of couching all the cord into place. For the gold cord twist, I bought 2 rolls of May Arts 1mm Wide Metallic Gold Cord, which was quite cheap (I do prefer quality trims, but could not justify the cost of far more costly embroidery twist for the garment and the hundreds of yards I knew I would need). This image shows part of the beginning section.
The pattern remember is on the bias, so in this case I'm starting at the bottom left corner. I have one strand of the gold twist going along the first path of my pattern. The bit of tape is holding the twist so it doesn't unravel until I'm ready to remove it. If you click on the image and look at the closer view, you can see that the beginning area has been couched closely for a short bit. This will hold the embroidery in place. The back is NOT plunged, as when I did a sample piece and did that, it distorted the fabric, was hard to tame on the back where it wouldn't be visible, and caused a lump when the edge was folded under. This way it is clean and neat, even if it is a little visible. Once the whole thing is put into place, with each section butted to the next, it will be hard to see at any distance.
I do not pin my cord into place. I don't glue it or anything, I just let the threads hold the cord in place as I stitch. I keep one hand under the frame, and one hand above to work the couching stitches. The cord is not placed on any sort of holder, except the spool it came on. My friends rigged up a chopstick system where the chopstick is in one of my holes in the frame. It is wrapped at one end with some duct tape to thicken it so it won't fall through the hole. The spool is placed on the chopstick holder and allowed to unroll cord as I need it. I do the work in a near vertical position while sitting on my couch or chair, which is why you can see my knees in the above photo. The couching is done with golden yellow silk Gutterman sewing thread (CA02776) that I purchased at my local Joann's store (a fabric and craft store for those who don't know).
In this next photo, I have completed two motifs with the first cord, and started using my second cord, following the second trail. I do not interlace them, meaning they do not go over and under the other cord. That would have been too difficult to do. The second cord is simply couched into place on top of the other cord at the intersections. My stitches are from 1/4″ to 3/8″ apart, depending on distance between intersections. I make sure to couch diagonally across each intersection to hold the cords together.
You can see that the beginning area has been trimmed. I have one cord slightly shorter than the other cord, both wrapped carefully for about 1/4″ at the beginning. If you click the image above you should be able to see the wraps. I will finish the same way.
You can also see in the closeup that I start or end the couching threads from the top, starting with a waste knot from the front, then taking 3-4 tiny back stitches along an empty pattern trail to hold the thread before cutting the knot off (which I do when I'm about to go over the area with another cord). This way the couching stitches are not visible, as they are under the cord. I do the same tiny back stitches when near the end of the couching thread. I will end the complete pattern with the last bit of couching thread by running them under the stitches on the backside, as I no longer have an area to hide them with back stitches. But that's usually the only time I flip my frame, at the end of each section.
This photo shows the end of one repeating motif section. Both starting and ending sections have been carefully wrapped and the cords are trimmed. When all is complete, I add in freshwater pearls and a single garnet to the center of the square shaped motifs, as you can see in the first photo above. Before I remove the fabric from the frame, I will finish the backside by applying a bit of fabric glue to seal the couching threads. The Japanese do this with a starch paste, but the fabric glue is pH neutral and acid free, and isn't likely to attract insects. Then it will be on to the next frame full of fabric, for the next panel. I will take more photos of the process as I can, hopefully with detailed shots from my good camera as I hope to upgrade my computer soon and won't have to rely on my iPad for photos.
If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.
Today, in order to jump start my creative spirit, which has been slowly returning (I did sketch a banner idea last weekend), I decided to just go into my sewing room and do something, anything, and after standing there with music playing, and staring at my mostly cleared table top (that had some before-mentioned banner sketches on it), I realized that banners was just not on my mind today, but I had been staring at something every day for the past few months and really it was time to do something with it.
I'm speaking about the goldwork embroidery project from the Laurel gown project, that has been mostly finished for a long time. It is the section that goes around the neck. It just needed the proper pearls – but sadly, those are MIA right now. So, instead of letting that grind me to a halt, I decided it could get pearls later, then removed it from the frame, ripping the stitches with an X-acto knife, since my seam rippers are also MIA.
I had more fabric still on the frame, so I cut off the neck section, and tried to cut it off on the straight of grain. Then I sewed the edge to the frame piece trim, put on the side frame bars, and realized that it really was off grain, as you can see here.
The two white arrows show the straight of grain (well, as well as it could be photographed), and the red arrow shows how the one side was angling off grain. This is not good, as it will have problems when fully laced up and tension applied. I could feel it torquing in my hands. So, that new seam had to be ripped out.
So, this reminded me, as I'm ripping the seam out again, that in January, I was privileged to go to Mathew Gnagy's tailoring class in L.A.. During the class, Mathew talked about sewing in the period way, as a tailor would sew – which simply put was 'quickly, but efficiently'. I thought about the same as I was putting in the stitches, again, that while before I would put in my whip stitches rather close together, I realized that really, it wasn't necessary. After all the lacing stitches on the side are about an inch apart, and they still worked out fine for tension. So, I relaxed a little and only focused on keeping the stitches relatively close to the edge, trying to keep the straight grain relatively straight. It does make it easier to rip out when needed, fyi. Oh, and I have a pic of this, too.
I do think maybe I could space out the stiches even farther apart, but it will take awhile to let loose with any of my stitches.
So, with all of this going on in my head, I sewed it all back together, put in the side bars, and woohoo! tension was good! Then it was lacing the sides frames into place, which had some snags with broken or knotted strings, but I made it work, and it all came together very nicely.
I just realized that I was so busy with all the Laurel prep-work, I've not really discussed how I went about doing it all. Well, hopefully this helps in understanding the embroidery part, at least.
After a short break, I got down to marking out my guidelines in white chalk. The guidelines were mostly for the center line of the pattern, since the embroidery on this panel will be done on the bias in order to make the embroidery fit the hem curves easier.
I made sure to mark my pattern copy with a line down the center, trying to hit all the crossed lines in the middle – as the pattern comes from a painting that's been blown up (as seen in here), that is a bit more difficult, so I just made sure the line was straight and hoped it would line up. Using my acid-free white gel pen, I marked the pattern down on the silk. The final panel looks like this.
I enhanced the photo to better show the pattern. But here's the slate frame, all ready to start on the next set of interlacing for the Laurel gown. Which I do have a photo of that dress, somewhere. Oh, and the pattern repeats, so the empty spot could have been fit with another of the repeat, but I'd rather keep the four motifs together on the panel, and have even marked the end of one, and the beginning of the next, so I don't forget how they go together.
Oh, and that banner I mentioned, I'll have more on it next month after the local workshop on making them.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona State point guard Jahii Carson, the Pac-12 co-freshman of the year, has submitted paperwork to the NBA requesting a preliminary evaluation of his draft status. The request is the first step in the process toward declaring for the draft but is non-binding. Carson said he intends to make a decision within the next two weeks.

We look forward to the opportunity to receive feedback from people with great knowledge on the subject, and once we evaluate our situation will make an educated decision.

Kashkari Says El-Erian, Gross Had 'Constructive' Relation
Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Neel Kashkari, the former head of global equities at Pacific Investment Management Co., said Pimco founder Bill Gross and his former co-head of investments Mohamed El-Erian had a "constructive" relationship during the time Kashkari was at the firm.
Reports of disagreement between the two are "overblown," Kashkari said today in an interview with Emily Chang on Bloomberg West. "Did anyone go back and say Steve Jobs was too demanding a boss? Bill Gross has a 40-year investment track record and no one should question that."
Kashkari, who left Pimco to pursue a career in politics, said stock-fund managers at the firm had almost full discretion over their holdings, except for "extreme positions."
