The April 20 dedication of the headstones and Iron Crosses for George Washington Comer and James Madison Malone was put together by Cres Keys, who is the great-great-grandson of Comer, and the great-grandson of Malone.
The event was held at Mt. Pleasant Primitive Baptist Church and was attended by more than 100 relatives, friends, and supporters. The 16th Georgia Company G Jackson Rifles re-enactment unit provided the color guard for the dedication.
Also participating in the event were the Sidney Lanier Chapter 25 of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Dorothy Blount Lamar Chapter 388 Children of the Confederacy.
Keys stated that Comer's father, James Thomas Comer, was a Revolutionary War veteran and moved to Jones County from North Carolina with two brothers. George Washington Comer was a captain in the Civil War, and Malone, his son-in-law, joined the Confederacy in Arkansas and was a prisoner of war. Malone was born in Houston County.
Keys said the headstone for Malone had been wrong since it was originally placed on the grave until it was corrected for the dedication service. The headstone was engraved James Madison Monroe in error but the family could not afford to change it.

Source: Caraway Throws Salt On Wound: Happy To Take Healy's Bonus, Hates Marijuana MMA News | Mixed Martial Arts | UFC News | BJPenn | MMA Fight | UFC FightsThe same guy who went on twitter threatening, UFC female champion, Ronda Rousey with physical violence is back throwing out more classless comments for the world to pick up on.
Maybe its just me, but theres something to be said for being humble in times when you are rewarded for something you didnt really deserve.
At UFC 159 veteran MMA Fighter Pat Healy made his UFC debut with a third round submission victory over top contender Jim Miller.
The world learned this week that Healy had failed his post-fight drug test for Marijuana and as a result lost a total of $130,000 in bonus earnings.
With the original Submission of the Night victor now ineligible, the bonus money went to the nights runner-up, Bryan Caraway.
In his latest rant, Caraway, who is the proud recipient of the Pat Healy Submission of the Night Bonus, went on record to MMAJunkie.com to discuss his thoughts on the use or Marijuana and his new bonus money for a second place submission. While showing little class, or even the slightest bit of humility he went on to trash the use of Marijuana and express that he has zero remorse for taking Healys bonus earnings.
To me, its all just a little too douchey.
I couldnt be more happy, and it was an insanely pleasant surprise. All Ive got to say is thats some expensive weed. I like Healy a lot. I came up through the fighting ranks with him. We used to train together at Team Quest. I love the guy. But I have absolutely zero remorse or guilt. I hate weed. I cannot stand it. Ive never tried it. Ive never smoked a drug in my life. So I have absolutely zero tolerance for people that do it. I dont care if its legal in some places or not. I think its absolutely ridiculous. Whether its legal in real life or not, they tell you to follow the rules. You need to follow the rules.

Using Biological Criteria and the Clean Water Act to Protect Coral Reefs
EPA researchers recently published a manual describing how to protect coral reefs from land-based stressors.
Coral reefs are the largest living structures on the planet and have greater biodiversity than rainforests. But they are also one of the most threatened marine ecosystems. Coral reefs are sensitive environments because of their highly specific requirements for temperature, salinity, oxygen, light, and nutrients. Pollution, disease, climate change, physical contact, and habitat destruction threaten these fragile ecosystems.
Coral reefs serve as habitat for abundant and diverse communities, providing food and shelter to a wide variety of species, including those at the base of the marine food chain. Their astounding natural beauty attracts divers and supports a large tourism industry. Coral reefs serve as habitat and nursery grounds for fish and invertebrates that are harvested in commercial, recreational, and subsistence fisheries. The high biodiversity of coral reefs provides natural products for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Often overlooked is the role of coral reefs in protecting coastlines from storms and floods and providing sand for beaches. Corals also are an important social and cultural focus, especially in small island-nations where so many coral reefs occur.
Many actions have been taken to reduce damage to coral reefs. For example, marine sanctuaries and protected areas have been established to reduce harvesting at reefs; this reduces the detrimental effects of overfishing and physical damage from boat anchors and groundings.
Land-based sources of pollution, however, are not effectively controlled by actions at the reef. Rather, these must be controlled in the watershed. Sediments, nutrients, and contaminants that are washed from the land are carried downstream to coastal zones where they ultimately can affect coral reefs and other marine ecosystems.
The President's Ocean Action Plan (2004) required EPA to develop the tools and knowledge necessary to protect coral reefs from land-based pollution using coral reef biological criteria, a tool to protect biological integrity under authority of the Clean Water Act (CWA). This became the motivation behind the EPA publication Coral Reef Biological Criteria: Using the Clean Water Act to Protect a National Treasure. The manual was written for coral reef managers and stakeholders including nearby residents, tourists, fishermen, marine and land-based industries, conservation and environmental groups, research organizations and educational institutions. It serves as a comprehensive guide on how to use the CWA and biological criteria to enhance coral reef protection efforts.
EPA's Patricia Bradley, the lead author of the publication, explains how it fits into the other work reef managers are already doing. "The manual walks them through the steps very logically and links things back to what they're already doing. Coral reef managers are all working really hard, with limited resources. But corals are continuing to degrade because of stressors outside the reef managers' control—climate change and land-based pollution."
Bradley emphasizes that "we need to be able to figure out how to minimize the stressors. Biocriteria is one tool in the toolbox." EPA has successfully applied the Clean Water Act and biocriteria to protect fresh water and estuarine systems, but not yet to any marine ecosystem.
A year in the making, the manual compiles an array of research performed by EPA scientists, research that is continuing to better facilitate development and implementation of coral reef biocriteria by jurisdictions.
The research team works with EPA's Office of Water, using the Agency's Ocean Survey Vessel BOLD to complete many of the reef assessments required to develop biocriteria approaches. Current efforts include collaborations with EPA Region 2 (which includes the Caribbean Sea surrounding Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands) where research divers assess the condition of reef corals, fish, sponges, and benthic invertebrates in an effort to understand which organisms and which measurements are responsive to human activities or disturbances in the watershed. Previous surveys have determined approaches for regional condition reporting for coral reefs, which have a patchy distribution.
Coral reefs have declined as much as 20% over last 40 years and maybe as much as 80% in the Caribbean Sea. They are a national treasure and a vital ecosystem to protect. Despite actions already taken, the potential for biocriteria is too great to ignore.

Just over two weeks after the outbreak of swine flu, sorry, H1N1, most of us have come round to the idea that a pandemic doesn't always necessitate panic. The infection is spreading steadily, but in most people it's relatively mild and only a very small number of people have died outside Mexico. So were initial media reports just hype?

100 things you didn't know you didn't know
If you're thirsty for knowledge, then go along to this free Gresham College lecture taking place in London on Wednesday the 13th of May. It marks the publication of John D Barrow's latest book, 100 Essential Things You Didn't Know You Didn't Know, which answers one hundred essential questions of existence. From winning the lottery, placing bets at the races and escaping from bears, to sports, Shakespeare, Google, game theory, drunks, divorce settlements and dodgy accounting; from chaos to infinity and everything in between. Barrow writes a regular column for Plus, so you might be lucky enough to see some maths you've seen in Plus live on stage.
The lecture starts at 6pm and you can find directions on the Gresham College website.

Thank you for supporting Plus!
Thank you very much to all the Plus readers who have given us such generous donations over the past few months.
Thanks to your generosity, as well as new grants from the Isaac Newton Trust and the Wellcome Trust, the future of Plus is now secure until July 2010.
Your donations arrived in response to a fundraising campaign we launched in December last year. At the time, the future of Plus was looking increasingly insecure, as our core funding was due to run out and the financial climate did not give much cause for optimism. As part of the Millennium Mathematics Project at the University of Cambridge, Plus is non-profit-making, receiving no statutory funding, and is entirely dependent on donations and grants from individuals and organisations committed to the public understanding of mathematics. But thanks to your swift response and generosity, together with the support of our other sponsors, we're able to continue to bring you the usual range of content from the fascinating world of maths, and — very importantly — Plus will remain free of charge for all its readers.
Thank you very much for your support!

On Friday the 13th, in April 2029, the asteroid Apophis will pass close enough to the Earth to be viewed with the naked eye. This will be an exciting event for stargazers, but for a short time in 2004 there was concern that this event would be cataclysmic. In December 2004 Apophis, named after the Egyptian serpent god who brings darkness to the Earth, was given a 1 in 37 chance of impacting with the Earth based on initial observations of the asteroid's orbit. Luckily, additional observations showed that the asteroid would just be a near miss in 2029, though there is still a slim chance of an impact during a pass in 2036.
While you breathe a sigh of relief, some people are already making plans for how to deal with any potential armageddons in the future. One such person is David French, a PhD student in aerospace engineering at North Carolina State University, who has has determined how to stop asteroids from impacting with the Earth by attaching a massive ball and chain...

Authorized users
Students will be notified by email if an authorized user enrolls in a payment plan on the student's behalf. Students are also notified if an authorized user makes a payment or schedules a payment on their behalf.
Changing amounts of automatically scheduled payments
The only way the amounts can be modified is if activity takes place on the student account and a recalculation of the plan is performed.
Changing a scheduled payment method
A student can modify a scheduled payment's payment method. A new payment method will need to be set up in the user's Payment Profile if it does not already exist. The student must "edit" the scheduled payment in the Payments tab by clicking the "edit" link to change the payment method. If you need to change the expiration date, go to "My Account," "My Profiles," "Saved Payment Methods," then click "Edit" next to the payment method that you need to update. Once payments are scheduled, you can modify the payment dates.
Down payments
Down payments are not required. However if you enroll in a payment plan on an installment date, you will be required to pay that installment at enrollment.
Returned payments
If a scheduled payment is returned or rejected by the bank unpaid (or is disputed in the case of a credit card), the $25 payment plan processing charge will be assessed in addition to any applicable returned item charge. Potentially, students could be charged a total of $50 for a returned scheduled payment plan payment.
Payment already scheduled: When you enrolled in the plan, you set up payments to be processed automatically. One of those payments is being processed today. We prevent you from making another payment on the same day to prevent over payment or double payment.
Can't make payment on a payment plan: Students cannot make payments toward an authorized user's plan. If your authorized user enrolled in the plan, you can see it, but the authorized user must make the payments. If you need to make payment on your account, you can do so by clicking "Make a Payment" on the Payments tab.
"You do not have enough eligible charges" error
This means you do not have enough charges in the specified semester (one freshmen credit hour).

There are a wide variety of social issues related to poverty, energy, education, food, medicine and healthcare, primarily in emerging and developing countries. Even in advanced countries some of these issues may exist, as well as the problem of declining birthrates and aging populations. Moreover, environmental issues affect us all on a global scale. Many national governments, local governments, NPOs, NGOs, and international organizations have been working together to solve these social issues. Their efforts can be significantly bolstered with the effective deployment of the business resources held by corporations, such as their employees, technologies, knowledge, expertise, information and financial resources.
With this understanding, Panasonic has positioned its corporate citizenship activities (activities that contribute to society as a corporate citizen) as a social investment, based on the philosophy of education and coexistence, to help solve social issues in two key areas: the environment and energy, and nurturing the next generation.
These initiatives are based on three key strategies of "finding solutions to social problems in emerging regions and developing countries," "the global extension of environmental education," and "improving employees' innovation mindset as a global citizen."
In addition, Panasonic strives to maximize the outcomes of its corporate citizenship activities by using the PDCA cycle, which is also used for business activities, to make sure that the outcome of its initiatives has had a greater impact (changes and influence in society). It has also incorporated third-party assessment programs for some of its activities.
Panasonic aims to help realize a sustainable society by collaborating and cooperating with stakeholders to solve social issues around the world.

The men's basketball team (13-6, 2-0 Ivy) won its sixth straight game on Saturday, 74-58 over Cornell (1-15, 0-2 Ivy).
The final scoreline belied the game's competitiveness—the first 37 minutes were played within six points. Columbia finally managed to pull ahead by eight on a layup from junior forward Alex Rosenberg.
"We really had to compete and fight hard," sophomore guard Maodo Lo said, adding that he thought the Big Red team members played with "a chip on their shoulder" after Columbia's home win over the Big Red a week ago.
After the layup put Columbia ahead 61-53, Cornell began fouling. But the Lions, as they have for the last three seasons, knocked down their free throws to keep the Big Red from climbing back into the game.
Rosenberg scored at least 17 points for the sixth straight game, while Lo led the Light Blue with 20 points. Junior center Cory Osetkowski scored a career-high 19 to complement his nine rebounds, leading Columbia to a 38-25 advantage in points in the paint against a smaller Cornell lineup.
"We know he's a big force down low, and he showed that today," Lo said. "We made sure that we were feeding him the ball. He played with a lot of confidence."
Before Osetkowski caught fire, the Lions had some difficulty dealing with Cornell's full-court press, which had given them some trouble in the last few minutes of last week's win as well. But the Light Blue made some adjustments and ended up taking advantage of the pressure for some easy baskets.
"We kept it simple in our press break," head coach Kyle Smith said. "We didn't have as much clutter and confusion."
Smith added that when the Lions broke Cornell's press for some easy layups, he thought it forced the Big Red to back off a little.
Columbia will next be in action Friday at Yale.
Eli Schultz and Myles Simmons contributed reporting.

Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that Columbia's win over Cornell was its fifth in a row. It was its sixth. Spectator regrets the error.
We looked good today, especially in the last eight minutes or so.
Cory had a great game, and we seemed better prepared for the press. As a long suffering CU fan, it was nice to watch the opposition (for once) fold down the stretch.
I've seen about 10 games thus far (either online or on TV), and believe you me, this team is different. Several different weapons, poise in close games, great chemistry, and good defensive rebounding -- a legit contender for the Ivy crown this year. Harvard and Princeton are both beatable, and I imagine we'll win 2-3 games just from red-hot three-point shooting.
Now that we have our first road win, the question is whether we can take two next weekend at Yale and Brown. On paper, there's no reason we can't, but as we all know, the game isn't played on paper. If we start off 4-0, given that we've played phenomenal basketball at home and that we typically match up very well with Harvard, an NCAA tournament berth could be on the cards.
Before you say I'm deranged, please watch a few of the team's highlights to date. But so as not to horse-cart things, we obviously need to focus on Friday's game at Yale. In my opinion, the Bulldogs are the better of the two teams we'll be facing next weekend, and I believe it's to our advantage to face them on the first night of the b2b.
We've had our share of difficulties against Yale in recent years, especially on the road, so a win on Friday would speak volumes about the team. Regardless of Friday's result, we obviously should not take Brown lightly, but I like our chances against the Bears if we beat Yale. As the old sports cliche goes, we need to take things "one game at a time," but I do like our chances. Under no circumstances can we afford to lose both games.
Coach Smith is building something great here, and I, for one, am very excited about this season and beyond.
This team continues to show its resourcefulness, adaptability, discipline. And, they still don't have all of the players healthy.
And, the coach and his staff seem to know the strengths of individuals, making astute substitutions.
Even the marginally-interested students will find the games worth attending.

Location: Castle Rooms, Uddingston, Scotland 19th April 2014
Theme/Colours/Style: "As Chris proposed on a holiday to the Big Apple, we wanted to include elements of New York into our wedding. Being an Easter wedding we knew that yellow was a colour we wanted to feature, and we paired it with grey, thinking of the yellow taxis of New York City against the steely grey buildings. The golden yellow and grey also allowed us to tie in the tartan from our local football team, Motherwell FC as we are both avid fans. We even spent a part of our budget returning to New York to collect table decorations like street signs and best of all…… to visit the Dolly Couture showroom to choose my dream dress!"
"The beautiful Castle rooms was awash with golden yellow gerbera daisies and charcoal grey runners and chair covers. The Groom and groomsmen wore traditional kilts and the bridesmaids wore stunning short charcoal dresses with flower bouquets to match the bride."
"We chose a venue which was set in the beautiful town of Uddingston where the famous Tunnoch's bakery is. There are lots of old tenement houses and quaint streets around the venue which gave plenty opportunity for some not-so-traditional photographs. It was a very relaxed day with only 60 guests, great local food and a fab band in the evening who played songs from Resevoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, some of our fave movies. This really set the tone for the evening party we wanted! We had our first dance to 'You never can Tell' by Chuck Berry. As it was Easter Saturday we gave out Creme Eggs as favours too."
Dress: "I am so unbelievably grateful for the help I received from Yvette at the Dolly Couture showroom in New York for giving me so many options and for helping me choose. I was quite anxious as I left my fiancé to go choose a dress on my own. She even set up a Skype call home for some of my friends and family so I felt that they were there and I got to hear what they thought. In the end I chose the Tuscany dress which was not what I thought I would choose at all! I had a vision of the Beverlywood but as soon as I tried on the Tuscany I knew it was the one. I had a halter strap added later for support, and it was a massive hit on the day! Especially when I paired it with my grey converse for dancing in the evening. Short dresses are hard to come by in Scotland and our photographer commented that it was the nicest short dress he had ever seen!"
Favourite moment: "It's so hard to choose a favourite moment as the day was everything I hoped for and more, but I think I'd have to say when Chris dropped my ring! He was holding it whilst saying his vows and just as he was about to put it on my finger it fell and rolled across the floor. The place was roaring with laughter."
"I also will really treasure the speech by my husbands Granddad, who is 89 this year. He lost his own wife 11 years ago after 52 years of marriage and he said he wished us 52 years and more. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. He did lighten the mood again after dinner by starting a good old Scottish sing song though! "
Why Tracy chose Dolly Couture: "I have always known I would have a short wedding dress. I have always had a fascination with all things vintage and feel that the 50s style suits me especially since I'm so short. I found Dolly Couture long before we got engaged and always imagined I would have one of these dresses. Well my dream came true!"
Advice for Dolly Couture brides: "Take time to sit back and take in your day. Its so true what people say, it goes by in a heartbeat. You want to be able to tell your grandkids about it, after all you spent so much time planning it! Look at everything around you, see the smiles on your guests faces, relax and dance! This was the best advice I was given and as a result I have so many wonderful memories to treasure."

More photos showing the progress of the Indoor Practice Facility
Gonna be nice for sure. Should help with recruiting as well.
Looks great and this really should help during the rainy season. This might even excite some top OL to come Florida State!...... Lol
DOT, do u have a know or have a feel for the inside height? I'm thinking of kicking practice
Puts into perspective how big it is when you see all those trucks parked inside of it. Nice pics! Can't wait for it to be finished!
Posted from wireless.rivals.com[/URL]
The photo with the soccer field and players in the foreground really puts it into perspective how massive that building is.
Looking good
Posted from wireless.rivals.com[/URL]
To me, the photo with the truck inside the building puts it into perspective.
Thank you Mr. Dunlap...wow very impressive. This thing is no joke.
Will this also be utilized for indoor track and field events and practice?
Drove by and around the IPF today and must say these photos (and any photos) can not really convey how massive this thing is. It makes Dick Howser look small.
It is going up quick. That crew is hustling. Looks great!
Posted from wireless.rivals.com[/URL]
Real nice!
Any chance we get some pics from looking down from the stadium?
I'd like to see how it fits around the practice fields and Howser!
Pics are great to see. I think all of us out-of-towners really appreciate them.

Will it be air conditioned or will it just be vented? If AC that's a huge bill.
Also, what's the wall between (what looks to me) the baseball field and the other practice fields?
Posted from wireless.rivals.com[/URL]
trucks look like match-box cars in there. Seems bigger then the others around the ACC but I think they are mostly regulation.. GT is like 80 yards or something.
This soccer field pic did it for me. Crazy
Posted from wireless.rivals.com[/URL]
can't wait to see it on the boosyer tour.
Posted from wireless.rivals.com[/URL]
Gotta love the Nicholson approval nod I laugh every time
I was gonna say the same thing. Drove by there today as well. Did not realize it would take up as much space as it does. ALso did not know they were expanding the prcatice field out and taking over part of the parking lot.
IMO I think normally punting would be able to happen but practicing short, high punting won't happen.
Posted from wireless.rivals.com[/URL]
its big thats for sure I drive by it everyday its almost at tall as doak
Posted from wireless.rivals.com[/URL]
Wow!! Cant wait to see it in April for the spring game!
Damn, we got SERIOUS about it! Excellent, looks great.....keep 'em comin', Gene, thanks.
Looking good. Any reaction or comments from the recruits?
The IPF looks great! But the roof isn't actually going to be white/steel looking is it? I have heard that the IPF is going to look different from what the website shows, I just really hope the white is going to be covered by garnet or something. Because that would look really out of place since every other roof on campus is garnet or brown. If someone knows the answer I would appreciate it.
This post was edited on 1/29 7:01 PM by FSUNICKD
Chalk another win up for Jimbo. Credit where credit is due. He made this happen.
Impressive. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Nice, very nice......
wow....the soccer fields use to be the old IM fields...... where Nike came down to do the Nike competition back in 96......man how things have changed......looks good!
I can't believe Clemson's will be completed before ours, our administration really dropped the ball,on this one
Relax Francis. Always has to be one of you with a negative comment. We got an excellent IPF going up and that still isn't enough to satisfy you.
Not serious, right?
I don't think the roof will be painted garnet. That would be a heat, fading and re-painting disaster. There is a strong movement for "white roofs" today......it makes a heck of a lot of difference in energy needed to cool in the South and in reducing heat generated by buildings.
As to the height, I have been under the roof. It should be able to allow all passing, kickoffs, and most punting. Some booming punts might hit the roof.
Also, the construction company is owned by former Seminole tight-end Sam Childers. He is doing a heck of a job and you can be sure that he and his company take real personal pride in their work for #84's alma mater. Seminolesam
Of course I am not serious, just sarcasm
Posted from Rivals Mobile
I heard Jameis Winston could chuck a ball over the roof, lol!!
When it's finished, it's going to look very, very good. Undoubtedly, they are going to keep the aesthetic facade of the brick and is really going to add to the view coming down Pensacola to Stadium.
dude really
Posted from wireless.rivals.com[/URL]
Really? That is cool. I was wondering who was the construction company on the project.
Very Nice.
I have a green metal roof on a shed and black on my house......no maintenance needed...
The roof needs to be red ...it's our color....just spray foam the underside, problem solved.
Haha. Perfect GIF.
Shit just got real.
How many hours of practice have the Noles missed total in the last 50 years would you say!?!
Well there did seem to be a few seasons from 2001-2009 where there were claims of more thunderstorms than usual just in Tally that were attributed to poor play after resulting losses to the likes of Wake, Louisville, BC, NCS, etc. etc........................

DISH Network makes bid to buy Sprint out from under SoftBank
DISH Network has launched a $25.5 billion bid to merge with Sprint. Although Japanese carrier SoftBank is currently preparing to purchase Sprint, shareholders for the third-place U.S. carrier would have the opportunity to reject that bid in favor of DISH Network's. DISH Chairman Charles Ergen says that this deal hopes to create a first-of-its-kind nation-wide integrated bundle of home and mobile broadband services:
A transformative DISH/Sprint merger will create the only company that can offer customers a convenient, fully-integrated, nationwide bundle of in- and out-of-home video, broadband and voice services. Additionally, the combined national footprints and scale will allow DISH/Sprint to bring improved broadband services to millions of homes with inferior or no access to competitive broadband services.
DISH is confident that it can raise the money necessary to make this deal. If their bid is successful, they will need to pay fee for derailing the SoftBank purchase. DISH also expects that a merger with Sprint will result in growth opportunities of $37 billion, with $11 billion in cost-saving measures. DISH been looking to expand into wireless broadband recently, securing permission from the FCC in December to build its own LTE network. If they are successful in purchasing Sprint, they'll no longer need to build out their own network, instead moving resources to aid in the expansion of Sprint's LTE, which currently offers coverage to a smaller number of customers than Verizon and AT&T. Sprint's shareholders will make the decision on the proposal in the coming months.

DISH Network makes bid to buy Sprint out from under SoftBank
Exactly what makes Dish a crappy company ?
I have had Dish for 15 years now and their customer service is top notch.
They may be a bit pricey but they offer the best . Back when HD was new, they had more HD channels available than anyone else. They purchased Sling company and added that neat feature into their recievers and with the new Hopper, it's hard to find any other competitor that can match Dish when it comes to technology.
seems like this has dragged on a long time.
Those two companies go hand and hand. No surprise by this one. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.

Love the color and the softness

Winter Staple
These are a staple in my winter wardrobe. I normally wear a Medium, but order these in Large as they do shrink after washing (even according to directions). Have even ordered XL if L was sold out.

sending this one back
love the pink, sweater is comfortable, but slightly see through.... plus the turtleneck knit is not suited to being a turtleneck... it rolls up on itself... what a disappointment
Great Sweater
I ordered the black and ivory to go with the wool plaid skirts that I ordered. They look great! I am 5'6" w/a longer torso and shorter legs. The length is perfect-about 1 1/2 iches below my hips. I wash everything on cold and hang up to dry, so I am not expecting shrinkage. I just wish it would be cold already instead of mid-Sept 105 degree heat so I could wear them. Sadly I will have to wait until mid-October or early November.
Well Made but TOO SHORT
I have these sweaters in several colors. The other reviewer is correct, shrinkage has not been taken into acct when sized. I would LOVE to have these sweaters be 2 inches longer so I didnt have to pull them down all day.
Chicago, Illinois
Nice, but....
I like this sweater, but it does shrink considerably, even when washed according to the instructions--at least an inch off the sleeves and length. Definitely order up if you're wavering between sizes.

Fireball startles many in Calif.The Associated Press | February 17,2013SAN FRANCISCO Hours after a meteor exploded over Russia and injured more than 1,000 people and an asteroid passed relatively close to Earth, residents in California reported seeing an unusual flash of light over the San Francisco Bay area that left many startled and thrilled.
Based on reports, the light streaking in the Northern California sky was a sporadic meteor, or fireball, and not a major event, said Mike Hankey, operations manager for the American Meteor Society, based in Genesee, N.Y. The group recorded at least 35 reports of the event, he said.
Fireballs happen every single night, all around the world, he said.
Experts say smaller meteorites hit earth five to 10 times a year but chances of a large meteor passing, such as the one that streaked over Chelyabinsk, Russia, are much rarer. Another meteor landed in the Bay Area in October and caused a loud sonic boom, a sound that could have been from the meteor traveling faster than the speed of sound, officials said at the time.
Another meteor that exploded April 22 was seen over a large part of Northern California and Nevada.
On Friday, the Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland also reported receiving calls describing what appeared to be a fireball flying west around 8 p.m.
Jonathan Braidman, an instructor at the center, described the object based off reports as likely being a small piece of an asteroid that somehow got on a collision course with the earth.
This is a very common occurrence, Braidman said. What is uncommon is that its so close to where people are living.
Bay Area media outlets reported the fireball was reported seen from an area stretching from Gilroy, about 80 miles south of San Francisco, to Sacramento, about 90 miles to the northeast.
One viewer told television station NBC11 the object appeared bluish in color and appeared to be heading straight to the ground. San Leandro resident Krizstofer Loid told KTVU-TV that he was sitting on a lawn chair in the backyard of his home when he saw the object.
I saw, like, a blue streak from the sky coming down. I thought it was fireworks, but I didnt hear any sounds, he said.
The centers large telescopes did not pick up the object during a stargazing event, astronomer Gerald McKeegan told KGO-TV.
The media attention on the Russian thing got peoples attention, so theyre more likely to notice things in the sky, said Mike Hankey, operations manager of the American Meteor Society.
While Friday nights fireball received a lot of attention in the San Francisco Bay area, Braidman notes about 15,000 tons of debris from asteroids enter the earths atmosphere every year.
Usually these things break up into small pieces and are difficult to find, he said.MORE IN Wire NewsCENTENNIAL, Colo.

Twenty local schools participate in 'Beauty and the Beast'Written by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
Young local performers are inviting the community to be their guest with "Disney's Beauty and the Beast," presented by 3B Productions.
The production is the annual show featuring youth in the area, consisting of 93 cast members representing 20 local schools.
"They sound phenomenal," said Becki Coale, business manager for 3B Productions. "They are a wall of sound."
So many auditioned to be in the production that 16 roles were double-cast, known as the Mirror Cast and the Rose Cast, each performing three days. The cast has been rehearsing since June.
"We always have a tightknit cast because we are all teenagers from different areas that share the same passion for theater," said Coale's son Dylan, who plays Lumiére in the production. "It's a lot of fun because you don't think Ohio has this much talent until we really put together a show like this."
Coale said the theater group provides recreation for youth while school is out.
"It keeps them busy and it's a great self-esteem-booster," Coale said. "Last year we had a couple of kids who had never done a show before and their mom convinced them to do the show and, at the end of the production, one boy came up to me. He said, 'I am so thankful my mom made me do this show.'"
The volunteer-run 3B Productions puts together four shows a year, one being for young adults. They've been doing so since 2005 after the group was founded by Joe Barton, Gary Buerk and Jesse Bernal. Barton is directing "Beauty and the Beast."
"A lot of your production companies will do your 'Annie' and your 'Wizard of Oz,' your more common shows," Coale said. "We wanted to do shows that are rarely done."
They chose to do "Beauty and the Beast" to attract more youth.
"We try to get an idea from the kids of what they'd like to do," Coale said.
The theater group has won awards at regional and state levels, for directing, acting, choreography and costuming. Their most recent production of "Urinetown: The Musical" this spring won five awards at the Ohio Community Theatre Association Regional Festival, according to 3bproductions.org.
Performances will be at the Maumee Indoor Theatre at 601 Conant St. Show times are at 8 p.m. July 24-27 with matinee shows July 27 and 28 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets for preferred seating are $17, adult tickets are $15 and students and seniors are $13. Tickets are available at the door.

Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium's
Liable to walk upon the scene
30 days hath September, April, June and November… and jolly old December has 31 and here we find ourselves not only at the end of another month but standing at the end of another year, on the cusp of a new one, looking out over the sill into darkness slowly fading into light. We each of us tend to get just a little too sentimental, a tad too nostalgic when stirring up the Ghosts of the Year Past, and I promised myself stoutly that I would not. I would rather look back at 2010, revisit my accomplishments and mishaps, marvel at the opportunities grabbed at with success and ponder over those opportunities boggled, and generally discuss my foibles with a sense of humor and a good laugh rather than shedding a wistful tear. Truth be told, 2010 was rather an amazing year for me both personally and as a blogger and writer, so as I look back over the past twelve months I smile and clap my hands as I revel in the positive, focusing on the good while attempting to shrug my shoulders and laugh off the mistakes or the chances I let slip by. As the old song goes "accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative…."
The snow still alludes me and the days are gray and cold, something eerie hangs over the world hidden by the mist and shrouded under steely skies, but the briskness in the air as we step outside revivifies me, the iciness that fills my lungs and nips at my cheeks startles me awake after the drowsy warmness inside has lulled me into a dreamy stupor, and suddenly I feel alive again as, arm entwined in arm, we walk down the street and wander through the abandoned town, abandoned to ski chalets and blazing fires or simply the chance to huddle together inside amongst their loved ones as the vacation days and the old year wind down, happier to be quietly at peace after the rambunctious, noisy holidays. JP shivers and laughs at how cold it has become as I tug harder on his arm and drag him along, thrilled to be out, satisfied to be happily alone with him surrounded by the silence of the empty streets. We still, after all these years, so enjoy each other's company and have the power to make each other laugh out loud, on and on, over and over again, wondering if our silliness is normal for such a pair of staid, respectable, old people such as we. Together we step over the threshold and into the new year, boldly pushing our way in on winged feet, hoping, nay insisting upon taking the bull by the horns and making 2011 our year, a year of success and dreams, adventure and excitement! Like the baker lining up plain old white flour, grainy sugar, mud-colored vanilla and dark bitter chocolate, measuring precisely, stirring and blending gently yet with firmness and vigor and creating a masterpiece, a confection sweet, luscious and beautiful, have we decided to take all that we have experienced and learned along the way, the contacts that have stepped into our paths, the skills we have honed, the confidence built up throughout the year and combine them all, tenderly, carefully folding them together, stirring, shaping, simmering, spicing them with the friendships made, the love and encouragement, flavoring it with the advice gratefully accepted and the sweet opportunities offered and create something exciting, a delicious concoction, a delightful 2011. Like the icy cold weather, it invigorates me, excites every brain cell, every inch of my body and stirs me into action, pushing me along a wind-blown, sometimes blustery and obscure, sometimes bright and clear path into the future.
Never one to toot my own horn, I prefer not to list my brilliant accomplishments or ogle in wonderment at all that has come my way in 2011 as bloggers, and I, are wont to do at the end of a year. Anyone who reads my blog or follows me on Twitter or Facebook knows all that I have done in the year past, my achievements and my projects, all of which I am extremely proud, and can peruse my Published Articles page as they wish, a bit at a time. But I would like to take this opportunity to thank a few of the wonderful people that have done so much for me, have supported and encouraged me, given me opportunities, presented me with exciting challenges, worked on projects with me, believed in me and inspired me to work ever harder, bolstered my confidence, advised, corrected, shared and always kept me laughing. And with whom I enter this New Year full of hope and pleasure, full of endeavors, projects and plans for grand adventures. And because of whom I am truly a better person:
Deeba, my twin sistah and inspiration in all things baking, together with whom I have kept the MacTweet fires burning, offering a warm space and an inviting, laughter-filled virtual kitchen for everyone who wishes to bake French Macarons together. Meeta, Jeanne, Ilva, three amazingly talented, smart and rip-roaringly funny women, and the extraordinarily tight-knit group we have formed in order to create From Plate to Page (along with other interesting projects), the workshop borne of a common vision, our passion for what we do and the desire to share both with other food bloggers. All three are my inspiration, my support system, my creative and personal sounding board, and truly family. The great folks at Huffington Post Food, Arianna, Colin and the team, who have offered me an incredible opportunity and an exciting challenge, who support me and give me the freedom to express myself on that amazing platform. Lael for introducing my blog to Saveur.com and since becoming a great friend and forming our own "buddy system" on this great adventure we call writing. There were also a few others who, by mentioning me in interviews as a favorite blogger, by featuring my blog on their website or by simply adding me to their impressive blogroll, have really boosted my confidence and motivated me to keep writing, keep working, keep reaching for the stars. My sincere and boundless gratitude to each and every one of you.
On a more personal note, JP and I had a fabulous, romantic, gastronomic week together this Spring in the mountains outside of Clermont Ferrand, Lyon and Annecy. We also spent a month in Florida, joined at my mom's by Clem & Simon, both of whom have become fine young men. My Spice Sisters and I succeeded in meeting up in London this past year not once but twice, the second time a fabulous all-girl weekend which also involved meeting up with a roomful of friends and bloggers! Together we created an evening Skype Cinema event, the first of many evenings spent with great friends, drinking wine, eating pizza and watching a film even though we are spread out over several countries and time zones! And I have truly made some amazing friends this year, some with whom I am in contact every single day and their tweets, private messages and e-mails make me smile, laugh, forge ahead into the unknown and often scary world, their confidence in me making me shine! Ah, the magic of the internet!
JP took off a few days this week, a time to resource and a time to spend together, tête à tête, in the coziness of our own home. He cooked and I baked, each to our hearts' content, we ate out as we pleased, we watched crazy, silly movies just to end the year with a good, hearty laugh, and we discussed the year past and the year to come. We toasted each other and the dreams we have for 2011 and feel that maybe we are actually on our way. As this post sees in the new year, a new decade, I wanted to wish my dear readers a truly magnificent 2011 filled with happiness and good health and I would like to begin this new year with something truly sweet and very special: Portuguese Cream Tartlets, my way. Tiny cinnamony puff pastry cups cradling a rich, silky, elegant cream caressed with a touch of vanilla and a hint of nutmeg and dusted with pale silvers of almonds. Although a tad underbaked, these tartlets were the perfect, creamy, voluptuous, sumptuous, delicious dessert.
New Year is always a time of partying and celebration with friends and family. But on a personal and professional level it is also a time of reflection and evaluation; of planning and regrouping; of refreshment and renewed inspiration. And it is in this reflective spirit that we have decided to ask each one of the four From Plate to Page workshop presenters to look back at 2010 to tell us what they feel they have achieved; as well as forward at 2011 to share with us some of their goals for the coming year. The series kicks off with Ilva, the talented photographer behind Lucullian Delights and Ilva Beretta Photography.
Although a combination of several recipes, the cream filling was based on one found in the December 2010 issue of delicious, so I would like to share this with Ivonne of Creams Puffs in Venice for Magazine Mondays.
2 x 13 oz (375 g) packages of frozen puff pastry or the equivalent quantity of homemade (I believe I had closer to 22 oz (650 g) homemade, the recipe can be found here.)
2 – 4 Tbs cinnamon sugar (1/2 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon for every 2 Tbs sugar)
3 large egg yolks*
¼ cup + 2 Tbs (75 g) sugar
2 Tbs cornstarch or corn flour
1 cup (250 ml) milk (I used 2% low fat)
¾ cup (200 ml) heavy cream
2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1 – 2 Tbs slivered blanched almonds
Powdered/confectioner's sugar for dusting
* Reserve the whites in a clean jar for Macarons!
Butter a 12-cup muffin tin.
If using frozen or packaged puff pastry:
Thaw the puff pastry if frozen. Halve each sheet in half lengthways and then place one half of each sheet on top of the other so you have two stacks. Press and roll together and, if need be, roll each double sheet to the size of a sheet of notebook A4 paper.
If using homemade puff pastry:
Slice the dough in half, placing one half on top of the other and roll the dough out to the size of two pieces of notebook A4 paper placed side by side. Slice the rectangle in half so you have two pieces, each the size of one piece of notebook A4 paper.
Dust each sheet of thinly rolled out dough with cinnamon sugar, as generously as you like and place with the long side facing you (the wider sides are going from left to right, perpendicular to your body). Roll each sheet up tightly to form a two logs and neatly slice off each messy end. Slice each log into 6 even pieces, about 1 ¼-inch (3 cm) each. Pile the leftover pieces on top of each other, press together into a stack, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for another use.
One at a time, place the pastry pieces cut side up in between two squares of parchment paper having first lightly dusted the paper as well as the top of the pastry piece (so each side is dusted). With the palm of your hand, gently press the piece almost flat before placing the second piece of parchment on top. Roll out the pastry into thin 4-inch (10 cm) rounds then carefully press into each cup in the muffin tin. The edges do not have to be even; these look better as a more rustic dessert. When all the pastry pieces are rolled out and fitted into the muffin tin, place a piece of plastic wrap over the whole tin and refrigerate for 30 minutes while you prepare the filling (the 30 minutes allows the dough to rest and is a necessary part of the puff pastry process).
Prepare the cream filling:
Gently whisk the egg yolks with the sugar, cornstarch and the milk in a medium-sized saucepan until blended and smooth. Cook gently over very low heat, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes until thick like custard. Remove from the heat, quickly stir in the cream, the vanilla and the nutmeg. Transfer the cream to a bowl or glass/Pyrex measuring cup, cover with plastic, pushing the plastic down to touch the surface, and allow to come to room temperature as you wait for the puff pastry's 30 minutes rest period to be up.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Remove the muffin tin from the refrigerator, remove the plastic wrap (of course!) and evenly divide the cream filling between the pastry shells. The filling should almost come up to the top of the shells. Sprinkle the slivered almonds around the outside edges of the cream filling, making sure they stick to the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 – 25 minutes until the pastry shell is golden (my husband would have preferred that I had left mine in until the shells were a deep golden color) and the cream filling is set but slightly wobbly (again, my husband asked me the next time to allow the surface to form more of a skin and color a bit, but that is personal preference). Remove from the oven and allow the tartlets to cool in the muffin tin for 5 – 10 minutes before removing them carefully from the tin to a wire rack to cool completely.
The Portuguese Cream Tartlets can be eaten at room temperature or chilled. Dusted with powdered sugar, of course.

The class and instructor were both helpful and informative. I liked the format of the class and feel I learned more than I could have reading a book about single parenting because of the work (quizzes, assignments, final) and interactive environment of lessons, discussions and supplementary material. The instructor knows the topic well and also has a trusting and friendly way of interacting with her students. She provided suggestions, praise and encouragement. I would take another course of hers online if it was a topic if interest to me.
Appreciated the applications of this course. Helped me when my daughter's father came to visit again....we live in a different territory and he flew up for two days. His last visit was two and a half months ago and he stayed with us again. I was still emotional and distressed for a few moments on a break at work, but overall, I fared better this time. His visit was also shorter this time. May factors involved, but I felt stronger this time, I thanked him for taking time to spend with our daughter.
I enjoyed this class. I learned a lot. This class has helped improved my relationship with my daughter.
I really liked this course and if I could I would take it again!

Consider Having Ducted Heating Today
If you truly want to have adequate heating inside of your home then you should just buy a heating unit that can produce heat and deliver warmth throughout an entire house through the use of ducts or outlets. When you have this kind of system, it would be possible for you to make sure that the air inside the individual rooms of your house is converted to have warmer temperature. But, just because you could really use having a central heating system, it doesn't mean that you should immediately choose any one that's recommended for you. That's because you still have to have a look at the interior and exterior of your home plus select a heater that can really serve you well.
Basically, before creating a system, you should first have a look at the condition of your entire place. Check the areas that are adequately heated and take note of those that aren't receiving as much heat as you want them to have. Whilst you examine the separate rooms inside of your house, you should also take note of the doors, windows and all the surfaces that are in them. That's because things like cracks and holes can let cold air enter. Plus, you should also have a look at areas within your home that are hit by direct sunlight every single day and those that have great insulation because these are the spots that are in need of little or no heating. After you've already pointed out the areas where warmth is needed the most, you should then try to examine the floor and ceiling of the said rooms to know where you could possibly place outlets in the future that could be connected to ducts. If you're not sure about how you examined your home, you could always seek professional assistance from people who are experienced when it comes to installing heating units and setting up central heating systems so that you would know how to set up one where you live.
When looking for a heater, you could look for terms like "Efficient Central heating Melbourne"on the internet so that you would know what heating devices home and business owners use to bring warmth inside of establishments. Of course, since you have to distribute warm air throughout the different spots within your home, you should look for a heater that has the power that can handle your needs. You might have to go for a more expensive one if you wish to heat up a home that has numerous rooms. But, still, even if it's costly to set up central heating, you could really take advantage of it.
What's best about ducted heating is that it doesn't involve producing things like smoke and ashes. That's because it does not make use of wood or coal that produces such byproducts. Aside from that, with it, you could continuously convert air to become warm. That's why a lot of people nowadays have this type of system installed into their homes.

The Leica X2 EVF2 viewfinder is basically a rebranded Olympus VF-2. You cannot really tell from the press images, but the Leica and Olympus electronic viewfinders are identical and the Olympus VF-2 will work just fine on the new X2 camera. The only difference is that the Olympus VF costs $249, while the Leica VF costs $575.

Le Metier de Beaute Femme Fatale Kaleidoscope
Le Metier de Beaute Femme Fatale Kaleidoscope ($95.00 for 0.56 oz.) includes four shades: Oyster (satin shimmer dust), Sapphire (midnight blue with jewel tones), Autumn Rust (deep and rustic topaz), and Matte Plum (bodacious, bright purple).
Per readers' requests, I'm posting this quick post that features photos and swatches of the Kaleidoscope, but I'm not writing a full review unless it is re-released and becomes available again I will say it is up to par with Le Metier de Beaute's eyeshadow quality and what I've experienced in the past, so you can read previous reviews here. All of the swatches have been put into the Swatch Gallery, so you can compare and look for similar shades based on what interests you!
- Oyster is a cool-toned, almost pewter-gray with a hint of beige-champagne shimmer. ISuper complex; looks different all the time. Compare here in the Swatch Gallery.
- Sapphire is a copper and violet-shimmered navy blue with purplish edging. Another complex shade. Best applied wet–a little drier than other shades I've tried. Compare here in the Swatch Gallery.
- Autumn Rust is a medium-dark golden brown with a frosted finish. Compare here in the Swatch Gallery.
- Matte Plum is a medium-dark red-toned purple with a satiny finish (doesn't look matte to me). Compare here in the Swatch Gallery.
Also, since we're on the subject of Le Metier de Beaute… They'll be doing online auctions starting tonight on their website featuring last-of-a-kind in their Kaleidoscopes for the next six days that are paired with gifts from partners (like Oscar de la Renta, GlossyBox, etc.) to benefit ALS Awareness Month and the ALS Association. 100% (!!) of the proceeds earned from the auctions will go the ALS Association, and Le Metier de Beaute will be donating 10% to the ALS Association for every sale made on their website between 5/5 and 5/12. And then, anyone who donates $100+ through the ALSA.org Le Metier de Beaute Tribute Fund Page, Le Metier de Beaute will send a thank you package of beauty goodies.
What is ALS? The Facts
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord resulting in muscle weakness and atrophy.
- Upon diagnosis, the life expectancy of an ALS patient ranges from 2 to 5 years.
- Only 10% will survive more than 10 years
- For the vast majority, their mind and thoughts are not impaired and remain sharp despite the progressive degenerating condition of the body.
- ALS can strike anyone. There is currently no cure.
The Glossover
Femme Fatale
|The palette was up-to-par with Le Metier de Beaute's eyeshadow range except for Sapphire, which was a little dry in texture and needed to be applied wet to achieve really smooth, intense color.

text: Make Up For Ever #44 Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick ($19.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a rich shade of neutral-cool red–a shade that's just a hint blue but so close to neutral. This is a shimmer-free red that still has a slight sheen, so it's not matte either. There is plenty of color pay off in a single layer, and between the formula and the richness of the hue, it stays on my lips for six hours with ease.

I'm giving away a box of LUNA Protein Mint Chocolate Chip + LUNA Protein Cookie Dough to one lucky reader!
But first, I want to share about my lovely trip to the LUNA Bar and Clif Bar HQ this past summer…
Back in June, I had the privilege to fly to one of my favorite cities in the world (San Francisco) and visit the LUNA Bar headquarters. I tell you what … LUNA is a wonderful company. I love their products, people and company culture. They are awesome! View my trip through my Instagram pictures below.
