The Embioptera are commonly known as webspinners due to glands in their legs that produce silk.
Webspinners are a group of 360 species found in the tropics and subtropics of all continents except Antarctica.
Webspinners are the only group of insects with silk glands on their legs, and use them to construct nests and tunnels that they rarely leave.
Nymphs and adults are similar in appearance but only adult males have wings (except in the Australembiide).
Embioptera comes from the Greek embios meaning 'lively' and pteron meaning 'wing', which is not very descriptive since only the males have wings.

LETTER: Mailer was misleading
Dear Editor:
The recent mailer paid for and sent by "Lee County Republican Party" concerning the tragic death of a child accidently struck and killed at a school bus crossing in Harnett County is misleading, ill-advised and vile.
It is misleading because even though it was concocted and paid for by "Lee County Republican Party," I don't believe it is representative of my Republican friends, neighbors and associates who reside in Lee County. My Republican friends and neighbors are not ... mean-spirited.
In fact, I have had numerous Republicans tell me they are voting for Chas Post for City Council because they can no longer stomach the classless tactics of the "Lee County Republican Party." The mailer, they say, is a good example of these tactics.
It is vile because it exploits the accidental death of a child in an attempt for political gain. It also attacks our system of justice, which protects everyone's liberty. Perhaps the ad's authors would prefer "stoning" the accused as opposed to trial by juries composed of citizens.
Thank you, members of "Lee County Republican Party" who conspired to send or condoned the mailer. Using a photo of the little boy killed in the accident in the mailer was especially heinous and dumb, delivering more votes to Chas Post, including many Republican and Independent voters repulsed by the ad.
It may have, however, gotten you something else. If the family of the little boy learns that you exploited his photo in a mailer for political gain, you may not like trial lawyers, but you may need one.
Chip Post
Editor's note: Post is the father of attorney and candidate Chas Post and a partner in the same law firm, Doster, Post, Silverman, Foushee & Post.

John LUPOLD, husband of Eliza (HACKER) LUPOLD HARTZ, was born 3 Feb 1823 and died 13 Jan 1853 in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. He was buried in the Emanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery in Brickerville, Pennsylvania.
The couple had two children: Amanda, born 1851, and John Samuel, born 27 Aug 1853 and died 13 Jan 1858.
If you have any information on John LUPOLD's family—parents, siblings, etc.—I'd be greatly interested in the information. I'm also interested in information about his daughter Amanda. She was born in 1851 and supposedly married a HEINCKE.

One Month Off Two- 23 Months...
Dearest Mads,
This time next month you will be two. Two years old. I think Mummy is hormonal as just typing the words brings tears to my eyes. I can't believe that you will have been a part of our lives for two years. But we are not quite there yet. As for one month longer you are still my one year old, my 23 month old little girl.
This month has been a happy one full of adventures and learning. You learn something new every day, and I am so proud of you for that- i can't believe how bright you are turning out to be- I wonder whether you will be like that when you are at school. Your speech is amazing, and you chatter non stop- a couple of months ago you weren't even forming sentences and now you are saying three or four words at a time. I love having little chats with you.
My favourite times of the day at the moment are at night time. Daddy and I often take it in turns to bath you and put you to bed, while the other of us makes dinner or tidys up, but just recently we have been revelling in spending time just being together all three of us. We have a bath, and then all lie on the bed and you giggle and wriggle and laugh non stop. We have cuddles and then read a story before you have your milk and go to bed. I love those moments with you, the way your eyes dance and shine with happiness. Words cannot describe how much I love you.
I also love the weekends- we haven't had much on recently so our weekends have been spent chilling out and just being together. Last weekend we went to the zoo and you were so excited at looking at the animals. You got scared when the monkeys jumped on our car until Mummy and Daddy told you that it was ok. We spend our weekends just enjoying each others company, even if we are at home we are always having fun.
You are such a little character and we have a lot of fun together. I treasure our Thursday and Fridays that we have off together- we do lots of things, such as going to friends houses, to soft play, out to lunch or to other fun places. You love going out and about and you chatter non stop on the way about who we are going to see. On the way home you always tell me that we are 'nearly home' to have a 'biscuit, juice and Holly.' And that is exactly what we do, we snuggle on the sofa and watch Ben and Holly with a snack, or we have lunch together. You then have a long two or three hour nap which gives Mummy a chance to relax. I love our little routine that we have.
Every month that goes past, I think being your Mummy can't get any better, but it always does. You never fail to make us smile, laugh and cry with the way you are growing. I am so unbelievably proud to call you ours.
Mummy loves you more than anything in the world. But as always you already knew that.

SusannahWhat a beautiful photo. x
Hi Katie! Thank you so much for saying hello and following my blog! I can't wait to dive in more on your blog! You family is so sweet! Thanks again for saying Hi! -Virginia
I can't believe how fast that second birthday thing is coming round. So scary to think your baby will be two next month, where does the time go? And that photo is beautiful. X
SarahShe's beautiful. x
What a beautiful post. I was in tears x
aww lovely post. I am loving bedtimes at the min too we read books and sing nursery rhymes, it's gorgeous.
A 2-3 hr long nap though??? wow that would be heaven! lol! She still goes down ok at night too?
My daughter is 26 months and for the last several months (6 if not more) has about an hour maybe an hour and a half (some days depending what we are doing we miss a nap completely). We put her down for bed at 7pm and often when she has had a nap she can be awake for another hour chattering to herself!
I am suddenly realising I won't get my naps with the new baby as I will have my little girl awake... panic! lol!
Precious girl x

With designer Luly Yang's couture show just eight weeks away (tickets are now on sale for the April 27 event), we continue our behind the scenes journey with Yang's smallest fittings. And by smallest, we don't mean the task at hand: As the show's beneficiary, Seattle Children's Hospital plays a huge role in event, and every year, the audience falls for the special children who make an appearance on stage in custom-made Luly Yang outfits.
For the April show, Yang will design outfits for 5 patients who have overcome severe medical hardships. This last week, in addition to a creative team meeting about the show music, the children visited the downtown boutique to talk with the designer about their dream dress or outfit. Naturally, gratuitous kid shots follow:
Stay tuned as we continue to follow the progress of the couture show, and be sure to join us on April 27.

Lady Hawks tame Tomcats
- Release Date:
- September 25, 2007

- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
GREENVILLE, PA – The Hilbert College women's soccer team got back on the winning track with a 2-1 victory at Thiel College on Tuesday. The Hawks overwhelmed the Tomcats 23-2 in shots and with the win improve to 2-5-1 on the year.
Hilbert's Samantha Cevaer (Ransomville, NY/Ransomville) opened the scoring early after connecting on a pass from Tricia Knight (Sardinia, NY/Pioneer) at 3:58. The Hawks kept the pressure on by owning an 11-1 shot advantage and settling for the 1-0 lead at the half.
In the second half, Knight set up Christina DiSano (Spencerport, NY/Spencerport) at 57:54 and the visitors had a 2-0 cushion while continuing to press Tomcats' keeper Jill Harry. Thiel (1-5-1) kept things interesting when Sarah Thompson cut the deficit to 2-1 at 77:22, but that was as close as the home team would get.
Hilbert keeper Kelly Goodwin (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Falls) recorded just one save on the afternoon while her counterpart Harry turned away 13, including eight from the foot of Knight.
The Hawks will travel to meet the Alfred University Saxons on Thursday night at 7:00 pm.

Sunday, January 29, 2012
A one year anniversary really is an arbitrary thing. There's truly nothing spectacularly different between today, the anniversary, and tomorrow, the first day of the next year. But still, these arbitrary landmarks are opportunities to pause and to re-examine things. This last year, while surreal and thrilling and unexpected and amazing, was also challenging and confusing. I struggled with what it all meant for me. Since I had now had a book of my art published, did this mean I was an artist? And if so, what kind? An artist who shows his work in galleries or an artist who creates illustrations for book covers and magazines? Was it time for me to start thinking about making my work marketable? And what did marketable mean? I really had no idea how to answer those questions, and I still struggle.
I have no regrets about this past year at all. I did my best, I tried to be myself, and in the end all of my experiences due to this book were really uniformly positive. I did, though, for a time follow the idea that now that I had made my debut as an illustrator, it was time to "get my name out there" and take on whatever opportunities others pitched to me. I ended up saying yes to quite a few things and I completed those tasks. I completed them well, I think. And while I have no regrets, it's time for me to stop that.
I am very very lucky in that I truly like my career. I enjoy going to work at the library every day, and I love what public libraries are and what they stand for. I never once even considered making the transition from librarian to working illustrator. I don't even want to. That gives me a lot of freedom to continue to make whatever kind of art I want, with no real concern as to how popular or marketable it might be. I don't have to depend on book cover gigs or illustration jobs or gallery sales to pay the rent or put food on the table. That's really exhilarating. And honestly, I've been drawing pictures with great intent for around 15 years now. For the first dozen or so years, no one at all anywhere had ever heard of me, and that was just fine.
So, like I said, no regrets at all. I am deeply thankful for this Moby-Dick project, my relationship with Tin House Books, the wonderful book they helped me create, the places I was able to travel and every single person who came out to see me, bought the book, gave some of my original art new homes, and supported me with kind words and friendship.
And yes, I hope that continues. I do have plans, and I do hope to be lucky enough to publish another book or three in the future. But I'm excited about this anniversary and about moving past it. I've lived with the White Whale for almost two and half years now, every single day. I need to put this behind me. I need a kind of catharsis, to clean the slate and start off in a new direction. This new, brief but thrilling art project I have in mind will help a lot. And over the next week, I will be adding every single remaining piece of Moby-Dick art to my Etsy shop. A lot of it has sold, which is wonderful, and I will keep a few pieces. But there are still almost 200 pieces sitting here in my home and it's time for them to go. It's time for me to step off the Pequod for a time, to wander around somewhere new, to look inward again. It feels pretty good, a little scary, and really necessary. I do hope you'll stick around.

Reshifting is good. New projects are good.ReplyDelete
Later days, Moby Dick...he has served you well. Enjoy your new muses!
I'm psyched to see what you do with this Monster Manual project -- partly because its mood and tone and gaze sound totally different from anything I've seen you do before, and partly because you're working from a source with existing, canonical illustrations, which is going to add a neat layer of translation.ReplyDelete
Absolutely, Hannah. People often ask me if I have read Moby-Dick since finishing my project, or if I will read it again. I have not read it since, and while I am certain I shall again, it will be quite some time. This journey was the most challenging and harrowing reading I have ever experienced. I need some distance after that.ReplyDelete
Rachel, I do hope you like what you see. I am not sure if you've ever played these games, and my own experiences with them are now nearly 3 decades removed, so it's paradoxically both familiar and unfamiliar. I suspect my own pieces will end up being quite a bit removed from the canonical visuals which I hope will provoke some delight but may also draw down calls of blasphemy. We'll see.ReplyDelete
Oh, and yes, an email is forthcoming VERY VERY SOON now. I can't believe it has taken me this long. January kind of hugged.
I dearly hope "January kind of hugged" wasn't a typo.ReplyDelete
I've played a bit of GURPS, but no D&D -- I'm kind of attached to the aesthetic of D&D character sheets, though.
Ha! Nope..."hugged" was absolutely intentional.ReplyDelete
A few friends of mine were wild about GURPS back in the day. I never did play though. I, too, have fond memories of those D & D character sheets. Remember the little box where you could draw a picture of your character if you were so inclined?
Sure do. Did D&D have a coded system of roleplaying strengths and weaknesses like GURPS? That was another fascinating manual.ReplyDelete

Matt, I attended one of your talks recently, and it was very refreshing to see your humility come through. You do have a God-given artistic gift, and it is good that you practice it.ReplyDelete
You've also given me some inspiration in terms of expressing emotions through art, being more open to explore more artistic media, and to keep creating art in my free time.
I also could resonate in another way. I work as a library assistant at an elementary school, which I thoroughly enjoy. (I have my MLIS now, but I haven't been ready to move on in the library world.) Thank you for sharing your ideas and your art in the way that you do.
RF, what I remember most about the D & D character were the 6 traits, the values of which were all determined by rolling three 6-sided dice, which defined each character and in many ways determined what "class" they would be. If I recall correctly, these were strength, intelligence, wisdom, dexterity, constitution and charisma. All of which, I suppose, are strengths of one kind or another and none of which address weakness. Odd. Anyway, if you had high strength, you'd be a good fighter. If you had high intelligence, you'd be a good magic user. If you had high wisdom, you'd be a good cleric. If you had high dexterity, you'd be a good thief. Constitution seems like it had something to do with hit points? I can't recall. And charisma was important for all of those conversations with non-player characters, like when you were trying to convince the local innkeeper to tell you where the hidden temple of evil was.ReplyDelete
Anonymous, thank you, those are all very kind words. It has been difficult to make myself as accessible as I have had to be, in this blog and in interviews and in book appearances. For a time, I thought I would have to create some sort of "artist persona" that would both dazzle people and protect me. Ultimately I just couldn't do that though, so I am relieved that just being myself is working out. I do try to remain humble and grateful for the chance to share my art like this. Good luck with your own pursuits, and please do stay in touch.ReplyDelete

This is my practice effort so far with the Matthew Scarf, before I start for real.
Looks nothing like ones others have knitted
Perhaps I need to go up a needle size or try a different yarn.
Also the chart is extremely hard to keep track of, without going blind.
Having trouble with the slpwise at the end and beginning of alternative rows
I figured there was time for a quick post this afternoon. I myself slept in this morning, walked my monsters then hit the stores (Let's just pretend you care about my daily schedule, okay?).
The first thing on my list were new needles. You see, I've been working on this Echo Flower Shawl with a pair of the square knitting needles in the circular style.
A pair of socks for my friend's brother. I wasn't sure what the yarn would do, and it turned out to have such a strong pattern that I can't say it was really appropriate for the knit pattern I put into it (a purl-slip-purl pattern which is almost invisible here, and a pattern of yarnovers) but it at least kept the knitting more interesting, and it sort of works.
Just back to work after a two week vacation. I do not have a home computer and missed keeping up with the MWK website. Twas a stay-at-home vaca and I had a wonderful time simply messing around. Finished a book, sorted through an immense pile of keyboard music and chucked 75% of it.
I need some help!! I'm finishing up the "Hand-to-Hand Aran Pullover" in EZ's "Knitting Workshop". I'm getting to the end of the inside hem and then instructions say to "sew down gently, without casting off." Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks!!
I had the opportunity of teaching a class at the MFKR 2011 here Is a picture of the 43 men that gathered and a small video. I hope you enjoy it.
I just got home from my first retreat. Wow! What a great time and a great bunch of guys! I can't wait until the southeast retreat now. :-D
Considering the length of time i've been on this site I figured it was time to say something. I do keep up with what's going on though.
Currently I'm working on the edging for the Edgewater Shawl and just started a vest of my own design when I found a bag of med brown alpaca in my stash.

Ken Segall may not be a household name when we talk about Apple, but for six years Segall had worked for Apple. He first started his career as a creative director for an ad agency that worked closely with Apple and from there he continued to work with Apple as a consultant, leaving in 2008.
It was in this role, that he offered up a suggestion on how Apple should brand their products and this was followed by Segall writing the book "Insanely Simple" which documented the success of Apple. Segall has a lot of experience with Apple and so, when he goes to his blog to take a shot at Apple, people listen. Segall believes that Apple's new naming conventions don't make sense and that they are in fact affecting the company's brand. Apple came out with the iPad and this was followed by the iPad 2. Logic would dictate that the next one should be the iPad 3, but instead, Apple went with New iPad.
The same holds true with their iPhone. The iPhone 4 was followed by the iPhone 4S rather then the iPhone 5 and all this while the company went on the record to say that this handset was the result of "completely rethinking" the functionality. Now, some have said that the "S" model is Apple's way to say that this handset is just an incremental upgrade, but according to Segall, using the "S" model simply shows customers that this is an "off-year" device.

General Information
The upcoming intensive grant-writing workshop (TIGRR) builds upon the successful model used by the Enhancing Rehabilitation Research in the South (ERRIS) workshops that resulted in many junior investigators receiving NIH and NIDRR level research funding.
The centerpiece of the TIGRR Workshop is the one-on-one mentorship that maximizes the chance for success. TIGRR participants are not "attendees" that pay a fee and show up, they are Mentees selected by our review committee; from the many applications we receive each year, and this is what makes TIGRR so distinctive! The selected mentees will come prepared to complete at least the specific aims for a grant proposal for submission to the NIH or other funding agency.
The Wild Dunes Resort
Charleston (Isle of Palms), South Carolina
The resort, situated on a picturesque island setting, flanked by the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, filled with award-winning amenities including 36 holes of Fazio golf, topped-ranked tennis facility, recreation, wellness, and spa services. Tucked into the heart of Wild Dunes Resort and just 150 yards from the beach is The Boardwalk Inn, offering a relaxed, private feel. The Boardwalk Inn is just steps away from the resorts recreation centers and the 16,000 square feet of exceptional conference space.

U.S. Open Preview
Best Major Final Round Duels
Fifteen years after Payne Stewart and Phil Mickelson went head-to-head in a memorable final round at Pinehurst, we take a look back at that event and other classic Sunday battles at major championships
June 2014
2009 PGA Championship
Y.E. Yang-Tiger Woods
After a few close calls on Sundays at majors, Woods finally met his match in a late-blooming South Korean. Tied for the lead on Hazeltine's short par-4 14th, Yang chipped in for eagle. Woods answered with a birdie, but couldn't catch his playing partner over the final four holes. On No. 18, Yang wrapped up his stunning victory by drawing a hybrid from 210 yards around a tree and through the wind to about eight feet. As Yang made birdie (left), a deflated Woods bogeyed the finishing hole to lose by three shots, snapping his perfect 14-of-14 record when leading a major after 54 holes. Nearly five years later, Woods is still looking for major No. 15.

Wake up and smell the worst voting restrictions since 1965!
That's what North Carolinians have been trying to tell the country every Monday for the past three months by turning out in the thousands for Moral Monday protests.
One of the main grievances of the Moral Monday protesters is this bill signed into law by Gov. Pat McCrory that restricts early voting, enacts narrow photo ID requirements for voting, and keeps individual cities and towns from dealing long lines.
But it's not just the one bill. As Rachel Maddow describes above, it's a systematic, years-long effort to transform democracy in North Carolina, down to the local level.
The two most egregious examples cited by Maddow are:
-The combining of three voting sites around Appalachian State University into one, as well as the deliberate removal of campus voting, creating a situation where 9,300 people must vote at one location that has 35 parking spots
-The disenfranchisement of Elizabeth City State University student Montravias King, which is setting a precedent for the disenfranchisement of thousands of HBCU and other students across North Carolina

Sheriff: W.Va. woman swept away by floodwaters
LEON, W.Va. — Police in Mason County say a woman was swept to her death by floodwaters outside her home.
Sheriff Greg Powers tells WOWK-TV that 50-year-old Jessica Harris of Leon apparently was trying to get to her car to go to work when she was swept away on Wednesday. Heavy rains pounded the state most of the day.
State Police, sheriff's deputies and Leon firefighters searched for the victim for six hours. Her body was found about 100 yards from her home.
Powers says an autopsy is planned and foul play isn't suspected.

North Augusta quarterback Trib Reece finished last season leading area quarterbacks in most major stats. But the rising junior isn't satisfied with that success.
He has spent much of the offseason and summer working on his game to further cement himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the area. The work, combined with last season's production, lands him at No. 3 on the Aiken Standard's list of Players to Watch in 2013.
Reece listed his arm strength and ability to read defenses as some of the qualities that make him a good passer. Despite possessing two key attributes of good quarterback play, Reece can still be found in the weight room and studying this summer.
"I've been working all summer on my mechanics and reads trying to get even better," Reece said. "I've participated in a bunch of workouts and I've been working with the 7-on-7 team. … So I feel pretty good."
North Augusta head coach Dan Pippin echoed the sentiments of his quarterback. He said the key to Reece's success is pretty simple.
"He makes good reads because he watches so much film," Pippin said. "He's a pretty analytical guy and does a great job with the quarterback coaches studying."
Reece added that it's much harder than it looks to be a good quarterback. That's why he's been working so hard. However, his stats would suggest that he made it seam easy at times.
Any improvement will make the 6-foot-3 quarterback an even bigger challenge for opposing defenses. Last season Reece passed for 1,691 yards and 19 touchdowns. Not to mention, he completed 54.4 percent of his passes, the third highest percentage among the top 10 passers in the area.
Reece's performance stands out even more considering he didn't take over as the starting quarterback until halfway through the season. He started the 2012 campaign as the understudy to Cody Turner, sharing snaps with the now departed senior before he suffered a leg injury.
Once he took over, Reece never surrendered the job.
He credited some of his ability to the fact that he's a dual sport athlete. He's also a member of the Yellow Jackets' baseball team.
"I'm always throwing between baseball and football, Reece said.
"My arm strength comes from the work I put in for both sports. The reads come from being around the program for a while."
Pippin's among those thrilled with the prospects for the Yellow Jackets' season. In addition to Reece, North Augusta will return many other major contributors on offense to help along the way.
"Having his receivers and offensive line back is going to be huge, and we have a couple of good options at running back to help open up the passing game and take some pressure off of him," Pippin said. "I'm very excited about Trib this season.
Reece sees the season as a way to not only increase the Yellow Jackets' success, but also he wants to grab the attention of some colleges at the same time. He said there hasn't been much in the way of recruiting, except for the occasional letter and a few invites to combines and camps. But his plan is to prove himself this season, and he wants to do it against some of the other top teams in the area.
He expressed a desire to do well in all of the games this year but said he's "definitely looking forward to (Strom) Thurmond." Reece's lofty goals don't stop at the week five battle with the Rebels, the top-ranked team in the Aiken Standard Power Poll all of 2012.
"We want to win a region championship and hopefully, possibly take state," he said.
Eric Russell covers sports for the Aiken Standard. He graduated from USC Aiken in 2012 with a degree in communications.

American Forces Press Service
CAMP DOHA, Kuwait, Jan. 16, 2004 The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), which landed in Kuwait in February 2003 to support Operation Iraqi Freedom, is beginning its 10,500-mile, three-month odyssey back home to Fort Campbell, Ky., with a massive transfer of troops and equipment by air and land.
Brig. Gen. Jeffery Schloesser, 101st Airborne Division assistant division commander for support, has overseen the division's redeployment operations in Kuwait, which serves as the primary staging area for all equipment and personnel returning to the United States. The division's first redeployment convoys arrived shortly after the beginning of the new year, and the soldiers are washing their equipment, vehicles and some of the division's 200-plus aircraft that will be shrink-wrapped and sent back to Fort Campbell.
"This is the largest operational move of soldiers, Marines and coalition forces that anyone really remembers, and that goes all the way back to Normandy in World War II," said Schloesser, who arrived in Kuwait from Iraq in late December.
Roughly 20,000 soldiers with or attached to the 101st Airborne Division are scheduled to be sent home by early March. About 4,000 "Screaming Eagles" who aren't essential to the redeployment of equipment through Kuwait will fly directly back to the United States from Iraq, with a stop in Incirlik, Turkey.
The next homes for most of the division, albeit briefly, will be Camps Doha, Udairi and Arifjan in Kuwait.
About 6,000 vehicles and 1,600 containers will pass through the bases from the division. There, the battle-tested soldiers are readying their vehicles and equipment for U.S. Customs inspections.
"If anybody could be prepared, we are prepared," Schloesser said. "The Kuwaitis on post have bent over backwards for this. They have allowed us to reopen camps that were only open for the first part of the war in March and April.
"They have allowed us to take a good amount of the commercial shipping port facilities that they have and dedicated them for our military," Schloesser said, "and the same thing goes for their airports."
Soldiers approaching the "finish line" will find one last steep mountain to climb: No vehicle can board the ship destined for Fort Campbell via Jacksonville, Fla., without having been thoroughly washed, a process that can take six hours per vehicle.
"I've spent a lot of time on wash racks, on aircraft parking positions as well as on the base camps, and there is not a Screaming Eagle down here who is not motivated," Schloesser said. "It's natural as you come down and start washing things and cleaning up that actually you would start to lose a little bit of motivation. I have not yet seen that."
The unit's helicopters must undergo a special "shrink wrap" process to protect their sensitive equipment from the ocean environment. The aircraft that are going to go home through the port on the ships can be exposed to salt water. The division's aviation units "shrink wrap" each aircraft in special plastic and remove the air, giving the helicopters a protective cocoon-like covering.
Aircraft severely damaged in combat are considered a biohazard and will be properly disposed of in theater instead of going back to Fort Campbell, Schloesser said.

Siberian carrier Yakutia Airlines has selected Bombardier turboprop aircraft as an alternative to its costly Russian-built Antonov An-140s.
Finance and economics director Valery Evdokimov has revealed that the airline is doing paperwork with the aim of placing an order for up to 14 Bombardier turboprops.
"Taking account of our current fleet capacity and projected needs, the plan envisages acquiring 10 [Bombardier] Q300 and four Q400 variants until 2016," he says. "We're looking to bring in two examples of each variant before the end of this year."
Evdokimov adds that four cockpit crews have already completed training ahead of the Q300 delivery, while crew training for the Q400 is underway.
Yakutia is the only Russian airline using An-140s, with two of the type in service and two kept in storage. Evdokimov says that the type performs flawlessly in harsh winter conditions and is well suited to the airline in terms of operating costs.
"But these aircraft are not yet built serially," he adds. "As a result, their catalogue price of around $20 million apiece is unacceptable for us.
"We had negotiated with [Samara-based airframer] Aviakor in the hope of reaching a compromise on pricing until 2011, when we had to abandon plans to purchase further An-140s."

Anthea Mitchell, of Hair Professional in King Street, found her skills challenged in a way she would never have wanted when her colleague Marianna Moore had breast cancer.
Marianna, from Barming, was diagnosed with the disease last year and started to lose her hair after chemotherapy.
To show her support, Anthea, who lives in Vinters Park, enrolled on a course to learn how to recommend, source and fit wigs for people who have lost their hair through illness.
She said: "When Marianna was diagnosed she asked me where she could find a wig but I had no idea. I wanted to do everything I could to make her hair loss more bearable."
The 47-year-old had training provided by My New Hair, a charity set up by celebrity hairdresser Trevor Sorbie. The organisation works with approved wig suppliers and Macmillan cancer support.
Anthea, who has worked with Marianna for 12 years, added: "There is a real skill to finding the best solution for each individual. The truly rewarding part is knowing how much difference it makes to the client during a really grim time."
Other co-workers were also inspired to offer services which could help cancer patients. Beauty therapists Charlie Moore and Siubhan Pearson can offer Sleekbrows, which creates natural looking eyebrows where little or no hair exists.
Marianna, whose locks have started to grow back now she has finished treatment, said: "Although the diagnosis of cancer is devastating, it was losing my hair that worried me, especially as I work in a hair and beauty salon. Knowing there was help available both when my hair fell out and as it started to grow back, was a real comfort."

There is a debate breaking out in this country over President Obama's extremely cautious and passive statements about what is unfolding in Iran; his assertion that he is "deeply troubled" by the violence there without mentioning who the perpetrators of the violence are; and the comment by his State Department spokesman, Ian Kelly, who refused to say whether the administration was willing to use the word "condemn" against the Iranian regime. Some people, like Jonathan Chait at the New Republic, argue that "Obama speaking out on behalf of Iran's liberals would help the regime to discredit them as foreign agents."
That is one way to look at it. Another way is to recall Ronald Reagan's words in 1983, when, in speaking about the Soviet Union, he said this:
Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness — pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the state, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the Earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world…. I believe that communism is another sad, bizarre chapter in human history whose last pages even now are being written. I believe this because the source of our strength in the quest for human freedom is not material, but spiritual. And because it knows no limitation, it must terrify and ultimately triumph over those who would enslave their fellow man.
Reagan's speech — at the National Association of Evangelicals, no less — caused the liberal establishment to go into a tizzy. His words were said to be provocative, incautious, and unhelpful; they would make the Soviet leadership more intransigent and increase repression among Soviet dissidents. We might not like the Soviet Union, it was said, but we had no choice but to get along with them; and by using such aggressive language, Reagan was setting back the prospects for peace and liberation movements.
That's not how the Soviet dissidents saw it. Consider this account, courtesy of Natan Sharansky:
It was the great brilliant moment when we learned that Ronald Reagan had proclaimed the Soviet Union an Evil Empire before the entire world. This was the moment. It was the brightest, most glorious day. Finally a spade had been called a spade. Finally, Orwell's Newspeak was dead. President Reagan had from that moment made it impossible for anyone in the West to continue closing their eyes to the real nature of the Soviet Union. It was one of the most important, freedom-affirming declarations, and we all instantly knew it. For us, that was the moment that really marked the end for them, and the beginning for us. The lie had been exposed and could never, ever be untold now. This was the end of Lenin's "Great October Bolshevik Revolution" and the beginning of a new revolution, a freedom revolution — Reagan's Revolution.
Inmates developed their own type of Morse code to communicate the exhilarating news to one another, even tapping on toilets to send their messages. It was a moment of jubilation that spelled the end of the Soviet regime.
Natan Sharansky attributes the collapse of the Soviet Union largely to President Reagan's efforts. He ascribes Reagan's strong inner conviction to two traits: moral clarity and courage: "He had the moral clarity to understand the truth, and the courage both to speak the truth and to do what needed to be done to support it. There was more to Reagan than rhetoric. Thanks to Ronald Reagan, to the legacy he leaves behind, we now know that totalitarianism can be beaten and that freedom can come to anyone who wants it."
It is a useful contrast, I think, between how Reagan approached brutal and terror-sponsoring regimes and how Obama does. For Obama, there may even be a tendency to place more public pressure on our allies than our adversaries (see Bret Stephens's powerful Wall Street Journal column today).
G.K. Chesterton once referred to "easy speeches to comfort cruel men." Leaders like Reagan (and his contemporary, Margaret Thatcher) were not terribly interested in providing comfort to cruel men. They instinctively identified with the victims of oppression rather than the oppressors — and they were, more often than not, willing to give those views public voice. What we are dealing with is a cast of mind, a disposition toward words, their power and meaning, and their capacity to shape events.
As between Reagan and Obama, I side with the former. It helps that events have vindicated him and his approach. We'll see whether Obama can one day say the same thing.

Signifying, for the cruising sailor, just how seriously the UK takes the pirate dangers of the western Indian Ocean, in an historic break with a long held tradition, Britain will now allow armaments on British ships.
Pirates of Puntland
UK Prime Minister will permit the licensing of armed guards aboard merchant vessels sailing under the British flag. Armed guards will now be permitted onboard ships sailing under the British flag to protect them from pirates, the UK prime minister has announced.
'Somali piracy is a complete stain on our world,' David Cameron told the BBC this week. The UK Home Secretary will be responsible for licensing armed guards for ships, as part of the new plans.
Most armed guards would be using high velocity rifles, in order to 'deter pirates' from attempting to board a ship, Peter Cook, director of the Security Association for the Maritime Industry (Sami) told the BBC.
Use of armed guards would be restricted to voyages through particular waters in affected areas.
The International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has welcomed the new plans, but has called them only a 'short-term measure'.
'To date, no ships with armed guards on board have been captured. But pirates will respond with increased firepower to overwhelm the armed guards, and when that happens the impact on the crew will be pretty dreadful,' ICS secretary general Peter Hinchliffe told Reuters.
Armed guards onboard ships could still fall foul of laws in areas of foreign jurisdiction, however. Armed guards are not currently permitted on ships sailing through the Suez Canal.
The plans have been welcomed within the industry by InterManager, the International Ship Managers' Association, which has campaigned for the freedom of Owners and Managers to choose to deploy armed guards onboard ships they manage.
Alastair Evitt, President of InterManager, stated the move is 'a quantum leap in public perception to hear the issue of piracy and merchant shipping addressed by the UK Prime Minister David Cameron so openly and frankly'.
Up to 200 vessels flying the British merchant navy flag regularly sail close to Somalia. Officials estimate that about 100 of those would immediately apply for permission to have armed guards, the BBC reports.
Somali pirates are known to be technically savvy and keep up with the news. It is therefore quite likely, they being businessmen after all, that pirates are likely to avoid any ship from now on flying the British flag. Why attack an armed ship when there are still plenty of unarmed ships sailing through the region?
Maybe it will serve as an encouragement for ships of other countries to keep a couple of British flags hidden away in case of imminent attack...

August 4, 2015
ST. LOUIS - - Friends, family, and teammates filled a St. Louis, Missouri church to say goodbye to former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jerry Brown Junior.
He was remembered Saturday morning for his religious beliefs, sense of humor, physical presence and his lifelong desire to play in the NFL.
His casket was Cowboys grey with the team's star logo on the inside. His Number 53 Cowboys framed jersey and pictures from his life bracketed the casket, along with a signed helmet from the Indianapolis Colts.
Brown, who was signed to the Dallas practice squad in October after being cut from Indianapolis, died last Saturday when the car he was riding in flipped after hitting a curb. The driver, Josh Brent, a teammate with the Cowboys and at the University of Illinois, has been charged with intoxication manslaughter.

The Brazil international, 20, is reportedly being chased by a number of European clubs including Arsenal, Shakhtar Donetsk and Porto, while Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund have previously been credited with an interest.
The winger acknowledges that his future is out of his hands and says Mineiro are currently mulling over a number of offers for his services.
He is not thinking about a possible move and for the moment would prefer to savour one of the proudest moments of his career, having helped Mineiro beat Paraguayan opponents Olimpia on penalties to be crowned as South American champions.
"I don't know what can happen with me, but if I leave, I know I will have done my job," he told Sportv.
"I have said a thousand times that I want to stay, but it doesn't depend on me now.
"I made it clear that, if I stay or not, I wanted to leave here with an important title. It's up to God to decide if I stay or not, up to God, [Atletico Mineiro's] presidency and the board."
Bernard added: "I am very happy and I want to celebrate this title, which is one of the most important ones I will have in my life.
"I'll keep working until the board decides something about the transfer. There are offers from English football, Shakhtar and Porto.
"I don't have anything to say about the fans. If I could, I would stay here the rest of my life."

Access to the Historic Photographs and Ship Plans
From 29 July 2015 curators at the Historic Photographs and Ship Plans Section will be working on our exciting HLF-funded Endeavour Project. Access to the department will be by appointment only, for two pre-arranged days a week. Please provide two weeks' notice of your visit by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Search Collections Online:
The National Maritime Museum looks after the largest single collection of original ships plans in the world. View ship plans in Collections online.
The one million plans date from the early 18th century to the present day, and form a unique and authentic primary source for both the Royal Navy and the Merchant Navy. The collection also includes plans for foreign vessels taken during time of war, and vessels purchased into the Royal Navy. About 1000 of the plans have so far been digitised and are available to view online.
In addition to the plans, there is a large technical archive, mainly concerning Royal Naval vessels. These include ships covers, ships books, and contracts and specifications, as well as other miscellaneous Department of Naval Construction material.
Enquiring into the collection
The size of the collection means that it will be a long while until it is fully catalogued online for public access. Moreover, we are unable to undertake research on anything other than the collections themselves: see the publication list at the end for a useful guide.
Before sending an enquiry to the Historic Photographs and Ship Plans Section, researchers must ensure all relevant information is provided, for instance:
- The name (or names) of the vessel.
- Date of launch/register of the vessel: for merchant ships consult Lloyd's Register of Shipping or Mercantile Navy List; for warships consult Colledge, J The Royal Navy.
- The builder: if known consult the National Register of Archives to check whether the builder's archive has survived, and where it is. This will focus your research to the relevant museum, library or archive.
All enquiries to the Historic Photographs and Ship Plans Section must include a postal address. Please contact:
Historic Photographs and Ship Plans Section
National Maritime Museum
London SE10 9NF
E-mail: email@example.com
Obtaining copies
- Due to limited resources, the size of the collection, and the length of the plans themselves, only small proportion of the ships plans have been digitised. A selection of these can be found on Collections Online, and more will be added as catalogued.
- Colour copies and prints of these plans can be ordered through the Picture Library.
- Black and white paper copies can be supplied of the majority of the plans, where condition and copyright allows.
- The ships plans held by the Museum are generally working drawings from shipyards, architects, designers, and draughtsmen. Their physical condition can range from excellent to poor. We will only quote plans that are in a suitable condition to be copied, but these may be faint or discoloured.
- All copies we send are the clearest we can provide.
- If you require plans for display, framing or as a gift, you should make this clear before ordering.
All plans are supplied to the size and scale of the original held by the Museum. We do not reduce or enlarge plans.
