To the staff of Albany Herald: I received an e-mail from "Sister Ruby" forwarded by you. I consider it to be harrassing and by the law, stalking. I have contacted my local police department as well as the Albany Polce Department. It is unreasonable and unacceptable that I should be subjected to harrassment simply I choose to write a weekly prayer for newborns. I should not receive unwanted personal mail from anyone. I would never authorize that, nor would I expect to send personal mail to someone I don't know. Please ensure that this person does not contact me again.---M. Hall

Then you should change your settings so that you will not be able to receive messages VIA THE ALBANY HERALD WEB SITE from other commenters!
Anyone can contact anyone else who posts on this site via the registered email address that you used when you signed up to be able to post. The email address is anonymous...the message comes through the Herald's site "Leave a message for so-and-so" on everybody's Profile page. You didn't know that? I have received messages via email this way. Some of which I enjoyed and some of which I didn't. But as an adult I did not get crazy and start making threats to people.
However, I will respect your wishes. All you had to do was ask politely and not over-react with idle threats.

Oversized Books
Sometimes when you find a book listed in the online catalog, it will have a notation at the bottom of the record that it is oversized:
Oversized volumes are:
- too large to rest on the regular sized library shelves.
- shelved apart from the regular sized books
- use a call number for the appropriate subject. In the above example the call number for this book is G860 .P6 1978

Massachusetts Democrats win when we organize precinct by precinct, having conversations with voters about what is at stake in this election. Every weekend, volunteers all around Massachusetts knock on the doors of voters to discuss the issues with their neighbors. Knocking on doors has been proven as a successful winning strategy. We want to spread the message and tell the stories of volunteers talking with real voters. We're sure some of you came away with a story to tell.
Sharing your canvassing stories is the best way to demonstrate the effectiveness of our grassroots coordinated campaign. We also hope that folks who read these stories will be encouraged to knock on some doors too!
#DemDoors Diaries come in all shapes and sizes, but here is an easy format you can follow.
The first paragraph gives the background of who the canvasser is and where the canvass is taking place. Questions you may want to answer are, where is the canvass? How many times have you been canvassing before? Who was your partner for canvassing? How many people attended? Was this a regularly scheduled canvass? Who was the canvass directed at?
The second paragraph discusses the pre-canvass meeting and the organizers of the day. You may want to address whether there were any elected officials attending? Did the organizer give a motivational speech? How were you feeling before the canvass?
The third paragraph tells a specific story about the best door/interaction of the day.
How many doors did you knock on? How many Dem 1's did you identify? What was the most interesting door of the day? What stuck with you most about that door?
The final paragraph is a place to reflect about the canvass, and discuss your expectations for future canvasses. How did you feel the day went overall? Did you feel that you had an impact? Will you canvass again?
Focusing on these stories with the theme of #DemDoors allows the excitement about canvassing to last beyond the weekend.
Please send in the stories early in the week to email@example.com .
If you do not have time to write your own story and would like to still share your experience . Just take a few minutes to fill out a form here and we'll send you back a draft of your own #DemDoors Diary.

Church Lady: Greek expert shares God's true meaning; child ministry springs to life at New Life
Let's explores something old — New Testament Greek — and someone new at New Life Community Church.
Dr. Martin Culy, author of several commentaries on the New Testament and editor of the Baylor Handbook on the Greek New Testament has vacationed on Marco every summer since 2007. He and his family come here to rest. However, beyond the serenity of our beaches, they are refreshed by the fellowship they experience at Marco Presbyterian Church.
Culy, who has studied the Greek language for more than 30 years, loves to visit churches as he travels, but he often cringes when a preacher says "the Greek word really means." In a vast majority of cases what follows will sound authoritative but is less than accurate.
"I've had to train myself to let such claims go in one ear and out the other so that I don't miss what God wants to say to me through the rest of the sermon," wrote Culy in an email.
So why are incorrect assertion about Greek words in the Bible so common in both Christian books and sermons? Part of the problem is that many Christians over the years have inadvertently transferred the special nature of the New Testament to the language in which it was written.
Some think that God did not choose Classical Greek (the language of Homer, Plato and Aristotle) for the New Testament nor did he choose Modern Greek, instead, he created what Culy refers to as "Holy Ghost" Greek to reveal himself. God used what is known as Koine or Common Greek, the Greek spoken in the first century marketplace. Common Greek follows the same rules of other languages.
Unfortunately, many preachers and Christian authors assume the opposite and use methods to analyze Greek that would be silly for any other language. For example, it has been said that the Greek word that is commonly translated church "ekklesia" is made up of two parts, with the first part "ek" meaning "out of" and the second part "klesia" related to the Greek verb meaning "to call."
Therefore, we are told that the Greek word "ekklesia" really means, the called out ones. Culy sees two problems with this. The word never means the called out ones anywhere in Greek literature. It simply refers to a gathering of people, an assembly and secondly while we can sometimes identify the meaning of words by adding up the meaning of their parts, this often doesn't work.
Another example of a commonly repeated myth is the Greek noun "agap" and the related verb "agapao." We're often told that this word, unlike other lesser Greek words for love, refers to "Godlike love, self-sacrificial love."
Culy disagrees and suggests we look at how these two related Greek words for love are used and to see that the spiritualized definition doesn't fit.
For example, we're told in the Greek Old Testament that Ammon "agapd" his half-sister Tamar and proceeded to rape her (2 Samuel 13:1-15). Clearly not Godlike, self-sacrificial love.
Similarly, we're told that in John 3:19 that men loved (agapao) the darkness instead of the light because their deeds were evil; and we're told in 2 Timothy 4:10 that Demas loved the world and so deserted Paul.
In reality, the Greek word agap simply means "love," with the context dictating what type of love is in view.
To illustrate the problem with an English example, he uses this example. In the sentence, "Sally is nice," what does the word nice mean? If you look at the history of the word, you would find that nice originally meant simple or ignorant.
In the 13th century, it took on the sense of foolish, stupid. In the following century, it had the sense of sexually lawless or unrestrained. And in the 15th century, it was used to refer to someone who was coy or shy. So, what do we say about Sally by calling her nice? What kind of girl is she? No competent reader of English would question her intelligence or her virtue because we simply don't use the word nice in those ways anymore.
"We need to be very careful when we delve into the original Greek of the New Testament to make sure we understand how languages work in general and how this language works in particular," wrote Culy.
"Just using common sense and trusting the reliability of a standard English translation will save you from a multitude of linguistic sins. Thankfully, just as God used common Greek to reveal himself to us in the New Testament, we can pick up any number of translations today that use modern English and generally understand what God has said without knowing what a Greek word really means."
Someone New — New Life at New Life
This Sunday New Life Community Church kicks off its new kids' ministry with the introduction of the new kids' pastor and the unveiling of the innovative kids' media room.
"Kids in the community are about to receive a new opportunity to have fun; life-changing, soul-satisfying, wholesome fun," wrote New Life's Pastor the Rev. Thomas McCulley in his news release.
The folks at New Life Community Church have been praying and searching for the right person to fill the void at their church. Pastor Nichole Moroney comes to Marco from Sarasota's Church of Hope where, as a volunteer, she assisted their vibrant children's worship.
The Church Lady met with McCulley in June soon after he had observed and met with Moroney. He became animated as he spoke of her devotion to Jesus, kids and her high-energy approach to ministry.
"Nichole makes it cool to love God and tell Him so."
He also noted that one child under her ministry for the first time, ran to his mother and shouted, "Mom, that was awesome!"
Moroney, who prefers to be called Pastor Nicci, pronounced Nicky, earned a bachelor's degree in practical theology with a minor in children's ministry from Southeastern University. She has a passion for Christ, fueled by the Holy Spirit, with the energy of the twenty-something she is, and is very tech savvy.
She was drawn to Marco Island and New Life because of their zeal for children. This will be her first professional paid position. Her love of children's ministry was born out of frustration by the way children were taught about Jesus. She has taken part in several undeveloped and unappreciated children's ministries and has encountered many churches that see children as a secondary priority.
"There are many churches who believe that adults are the prime harvest and I believe that thinking is incredibly harmful to the church and opposite of what Jesus wanted," wrote Moroney in an email. "He said to let the little children come to Him, and that if adults wanted to enter the Kingdom they needed to become like little children. It was obvious to me that children matter to Jesus, and I couldn't see why they didn't matter to these churches."
She believes that children deserve better than the ho-hum, classroom style, sit still and listen style of ministry.
"Children are high energy. They love to move and talk, and they have important things to say," she continued. Children have things they want to pray, talk about and to be involved. She wants children to have a relationship with Jesus.
"We need to teach them to be active Christians and I believe a high energy, interactive program is our best shot of doing that," wrote Moroney.
Meanwhile the folks at New Life have been installing cutting-edge technology and volunteers are scrambling to renovate the church's children's ministry areas.
Longtime Island resident Julie Booth will continue her work with the church's children's ministry, but will focus her attention on the younger children ages toddler to 5 while Moroney will lead a super-high energy kids' church for the older children.
"Finally we will be firing on all thrusters!" wrote McCulley, quoting a line from Star Trek. "We've had outstanding, world-class contemporary music since Rev. Greg Barrett came on staff two years ago and now we're going to offer the best possible ministry to children."
Aug. 19 marks the first day of school for Collier County. Send your house of worship's back-to-school event to email@example.com for inclusion in the Faith Briefs.

Chlorophyll Bill, by Berkley Illustration.
15% of the sale of this print goes to Farm Sanctuary.
Ryan Berkley creates comic book inspired art and prints for your walls or family photo albums. Perhaps best known for his Animals in Suits series, Ryan likes to tackle surreal subject matter in a very friendly way. He and his wife Lucy run a successful art business on Etsy, participate in craft shows around the country, and have licensed their imagery to several companies. Hot insider animal tip: Ryan's favorite animal is the tiger shark and Lucy's is the bison.
About the print:
This is more detailed version of a drawing I did a few years ago titled "Earth Hat Pat". I wanted to blend and weave plants, branches, vines and colorful flowers into a drab, neutral, earthy figure. It was loosely inspired by a framed greeting card from the 70's that my parents had in our house growing up.
This is a digital print on acid free, Neenah uncoated matte 100lb cover paper that is 80% recycled. It was digitally signed by the artist and was numbered by The Working Proof.
An earlier process drawing.
What has inspired you recently?
I've been really into old, detailed clip art and lithographs from the turn of the century or earlier. Ships, animals, contraptions, weaponry, clothing, nature, etc.
Why did you choose to pair Farm Sanctuary with your print?
For me, Farm Sanctuary was a quick and easy choice. As a vegan and animal lover, this cause is very important to me. I've always had a genuine love and respect for animals, and I am very appreciative of the opportunity The Working Proof provides us with to support Farm Sanctuary with this project. Farm Sanctuary gives rescued animals (from farms and slaughterhouses) a second chance at life. They pamper them and treat them like local celebrities as they enjoy the rest of their well-deserved years.
How have you seen art transform the world around you?
The world around me, for the most part, is the DIY movement. Animal art has become extremely prominent in the DIY/craft world. It's funny, because drawing animals is definitely how I make a living, but I really enjoy not drawing animals when I have the chance. It's refreshing. That's why I took this opportunity to flex my other creative artistic muscles with The Working Proof.
If you could pick one artist to mentor you, who would it be?
I'm a comic fan/artist at heart, so I am mostly influenced by comic artists. I would choose Alex Ross to be my mentor. I would say that I attempt to make somewhat photorealistic art (especially with the animal series), and he is the master of that style in the comics world. Whenever I read his books, I actually feel like the story is unfolding like a movie before my eyes - it is so realistic. I think it would be interesting to have my fans get lost in my art the way I do in his.
Who are some artists you think people should know about?
Matt Furie, Lisa Hanawalt, Stacey Rozich, Tyler Stout, Josh Keyes.

Oscar Niemeyer
The Beauty and Inhumanity of Oscar Niemeyer's Architecture
December 12, 2012
Don't believe it when you read that Oscar Niemeyer, the Brazilian architect who died this week only days before he would have turned 105, was the one who took the chill off modernist design with his flamboyantly curving, white thin-shell concrete buildings. That's the sort of nonsense that gets peddled in obituaries and haigiographies, particularly when a charismatic charmer distorts the historical record to inflate his own contribution, takes credit for the innovations of others, and outlives—by decades!—his competitors.
September 14, 2011
In the autumn, everybody wonders what's going to happen next in the arts. This is a natural feeling, a good feeling. Optimism is in the air. But if you've already spent your fair share of autumns waiting to see what comes next, you probably cannot avoid the echoes of seasons past, a sense, alternately exhilarating and depressing, that we are always returning to places we've been before.
Picturing Buildings
April 11, 2011
What does a photograph reveal and not reveal about a building? However consequential the question used to be, the Internet has become a seductive digitized world of photo stills and slideshows from which one might infer that actual knowledge—factual information—has been obtained. But buildings are real, indeed, real things that everyone needs and nearly everyone constantly uses. More or less reliably, too, a building stays put, at least until a tsunami hits or, more typically, someone comes along and tears it down.

For many people the natural location for a home theater is the living or family room. Both of these spaces can be quickly transformed for movie marathons by adding a high-quality flat screen television, a surround sound system or rear wireless speakers. However, before you decide which room to make your new home theater, you should consider how much ambient light is right for you and think about acoustics.
Depending on the amount of light you feel comfortable watching movies in, you can opt for total darkness with thick window coverings that block out daylight or you can install a dimmer switch, available at your local hardware store, to lower the lights without completely turning them off. And, carpeting can help with sound absorption. If your space doesn't have carpeting you may want to consider an area rug which can help optimize sound.
The size of your space and whether or not it's a dedicated media room can help you decide on seating. If you'll only be watching television and movies in the room consider going with rows of recliners or theater seats which all face the screen.
If you use the room for other activities, such as a home office, occasional guest room or living room, you'll want the seating to be more versatile — such as a sofa, loveseat or armchair. Think about how many people will typically be joining you for TV or movie night, and be sure to have ample seating.
Also, you'll want to make sure that every seat in the house is a good one: no one should crane to see the TV, and nothing should obstruct the screen (such as a support beam or a light fixture). Finally, it's a good idea to test the viewing distance, based on the size of the screen, so that no one feels either too close or too removed.
Once you have the visuals sorted, it's time to think about the sound because it's another important aspect when transforming a TV room into a home theater. Surround sound allows you to hear the movie the way the filmmaker intended.
It may be practical to look for a complete surround sound system that includes speakers and a receiver. Try a seven-speaker-plus-woofer configuration for achieving a fully immersive audio experience. But to get the full benefit of surround sound, you'll need at least five speakers: a central speaker, two front speakers and two rear or side surround speakers. Rear-wireless speakers offer convenience and a clean look, and Samsung's Audiobar options are perfect for small spaces because they condense the surround sound experience into a one unit plus woofer.
Whatever choices you make in creating your very own home theater, you'll be able to organize and enjoy your own movie fests when you want, with whomever you want, right in your own home.

More children are becoming overweight and obese. Causes of obesity in children include unhealthy food choices, lack of physical activity and family eating habits.
The number of overweight children in Australia has doubled in recent years, with a quarter of children considered overweight or obese. Causes of obesity in children include unhealthy food choices, lack of physical activity and family eating habits.
This rise in the number of overweight children is disturbing, because it causes health problems and can lead to social problems. Overweight children are more likely to be teased by their peers or to develop low self-esteem or body image problems. Once children are overweight, it requires a lot of effort and commitment for them to return to a healthy weight.
Overweight and obesity in children are among the most important risks to children's long and short-term health. Overweight children are very likely to become overweight adults.
Risk factors for childhood obesity
Your body stores unused energy (kilojoules) as body fat. To maintain a healthy weight, you need to use (or 'burn') the energy from the foods you eat. If you eat more than you use, your body will store the extra energy as fat.
Factors that may cause children to become overweight and obese include:
- Food choices – these include choosing high fat and sugary foods instead of healthier options.
- Lack of physical activity – Australian children are less active than they were in the past.
- Spending a lot of time on sedentary pursuits – Australian children watch, on average, around 2� hours of television a day, as well as spending time using computers and other electronic games. It seems that these pastimes are replacing active ones.
- Overweight parents – a family's eating patterns can have a major influence on whether a child maintains a healthy weight. Some overweight parents may be less concerned about their children also being overweight than parents who have a healthy weight.
- Genetics – some rare gene disorders cause severe childhood obesity. In many other people, particular genes acting together probably make some children more susceptible to obesity. If there is a family tendency to become overweight, parents need to be even more aware of making healthy food choices for the whole family.
Childhood obesity is a worldwide problem
Levels of childhood obesity are increasing at alarming rates in many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. In Australia, one in five children and adolescents are either overweight or obese.
From 1985 to 1995 the number of overweight 7–15 year olds almost doubled. The numbers of obese children has more than tripled. At the current rate, it is predicted that 65 per cent of young Australians will be overweight or obese by 2020.
Society has contributed to obesity
As overweight and obesity have become more common, there have been some major changes in how we live. These changes have led to people either eating more or becoming less active, all of which has contributed to an increase in overweight and obesity. For example:
- The overall cost of food has gone down.
- More food is prepared away from home.
- Energy-dense foods and drinks are more readily available.
- Portion sizes have increased.
- Marketing of energy-dense foods and drinks has increased.
- The use of cars has increased.
- The number of two-income families has increased.
- The time spent in paid employment has increased.
- The role of physical education in the school curriculum has reduced.
Health problems associated with obesity
Most of the health problems associated with obesity will become obvious in adulthood. Early signs of these later problems are commonly found in children.
Potential health problems for obese children include:
- type 2 diabetes – while this condition is most commonly seen in adults, it is now also being diagnosed in children
- eating disorders such as bulimia or binge eating
- orthopaedic disorders – problems with foot structure
- liver problems, including fatty liver
- respiratory disorders, such as blocked airways and restrictions in the chest wall, which cause breathlessness during exercise
- sleep apnoea – this is a condition that causes difficulty breathing when sleeping. It also causes snoring, waking often and poor sleep. It makes people feel tired and contributes to poor concentration during the day
- cardiomyopathy – a problem with the heart muscle, caused when extra effort is needed to pump blood.
Obesity in childhood leads to obesity in adulthood
Overweight or obese children are more likely to remain obese as adolescents and become overweight or obese adults. About 80 per cent of obese adolescents will become obese adults.
Social problems for obese children and adolescents
Obesity can have a major impact on how children feel about themselves and how they interact with others. Obese adolescents are more likely to have low self-esteem, which may impact on other aspects of their lives, such as the development of friendships and competency at school.
Being obese as a child or adolescent increases the risk of a range of diseases and disorders in adulthood, regardless of whether the adult is obese or not. It's important to identify and start to reverse the condition before children become adults. Ideally, overweight and obesity should be prevented.

Jefferson County's Occupational Tax is unconstitutional. That's according to a unanimous ruling issued by the Alabama Supreme Court, which upholds a lower court's ruling. Legislators enacted the tax in 2009, during a special session. The Supreme Court's decision says legislators made changes to the bill that weren't advertised. Legislators are required by law to advertise their bills. The loss of occupational tax revenue could cause financial trouble for county government. WBHM's Bradley George spoke with Jefferson County Commission President David Carrington.
Journalist Kyle Whitmire of The Second Front says state legislators will be reluctant to pass a new Occupational Tax.

If you're searching the web for a hotel room or if you're looking for a job in this field, you're advised to be extra careful, since fraudsters have started setting up fake hotel websites.
Experts from security firm Bitdefender inform that these sites can help the crooks in accomplishing various malicious tasks, including identity theft and money laundering. In other cases, they might simply ask individuals who want to book a room to pay a certain amount of money upfront.
The fake websites usually leverage the names and reputations of famous brands. For instance, if the legitimate company's domain is sheratonskyline.com, the crooks will likely set up their site on a domain that looks something like sheraton-skyline.com.
Most major companies have purchased all the variations of their domain names to protect themselves against typosquatters, but it's likely that hotels haven't taken such fraud sites into consideration.
Unlike phishing sites, these fraud websites aren't promoted via email or social media spam. Instead, they're kept secret to ensure that the domain will not be seized by authorities.
Also, such scammy webpages don't necessarily replicate the design of the genuine hotel.
Users are advised to rely on common sense and a decent security solution to protect themselves against such threats.
The simplest way to identify fake hotel sites is by typing their names into a search engine followed by the words "scam" or "fraud." In many cases, you'll find professional advisories or posts published by other users.
Another way to check out a hotel's legitimacy is to check out the domain registrant's details. If the domain is registered to a private e-mail address or if it's newer than one year, it's likely part of a scheme.
Finally, if the domain is registered to an individual whose phone number starts with +4470, you're likely dealing with a scam, since although +44 looks like a legitimate UK number, the 70 prefix shows that call forwarding is set in place.

Two gold fibulae (brooches)
From Maroni, Cyprus
About 1050 BC
Made in Cyprus during the so-called Greek 'Dark Age'
These gold
Other bronze fibulae from eleventh century BC Cypriot tombs are of the 'fiddle-bow' variety, also adopted from the Greek world. The appearance of Greek brooches at this time suggests a change in dress styles, though dress pins of eastern origin were still in use.
Other significant changes in Cyprus in the eleventh century BC included new Mycenaean Greek burial practices in some cemeteries, and the replacement of the Late Bronze Age Cypro-Minoan script (as yet undeciphered) by Cypro-Syllabic and the Greek language. This all adds credence to the view that it was not before 1100 BC that immigration to Cyprus from the Greek world happened on a large scale.

Vulpine clothing website goes live
Five garments in a simple range that aims to offer functional performance but without the Lycra
Previous News
Next News
Our sneak peek the other week offered clues to some of the details; since then Mr Vulpine himself has been around for some impromptu modelling of his foxy new clothing range in the early March sunshine.
Ironically, for someone so determined to distance himself from Lycra-clad sporty cyclists or at least their clothing, Vulpine founder Nick Hussey is about as steeped in the lore of Ye Olde Club Cycling as they come, being a long-standing member of the Kingston Wheelers and doing all that classic time-trialling, road racing and club riding stuff. Maybe the memory of feeling foolish walking into a pub wearing tights is fresh in his mind. Anyway, knowing that the field is already pretty competitive with the likes of Santini, Castelli and most recently Rapha keeping it tough at the high end of racing-style kit, it's surely good sense to recognise the gap for folk who just want to ride to work, the pub "or a hot date" as the website puts it, comfortably but without feeling alienated from the rest of society.
What you have in the range launched today are the first five garments, mostly for men and with women's numbers following on. "Frankly," said Hussey when he came to see us last week in Bath, "the more women we asked about what was needed, the more opinions we got and the further away everything seemed. So we've made a start with what we feel comfortable with but knowing that the women's market for performance comfort is if anything more poorly served than for men." Watch this space and meanwhile...
The two fabrics most prominent are fine merino wool used in a simple loose base layer-cum-tee and a button jersey which is certainly cycling specific in the sense that it has rear pockets but not cut in a style that screams "Cyclist" And Epic Cotton - yes, it really is called that - where each individual cotton fibre is coated in a special version of silicon so that the breathability is unimpaired but the waterproofing is ramped up several notches. Plus it feels really nice. That's used on a proper rain jacket, a foldable soft-shell jacket and a lightweight gilet in a lurid lime green colour that functions as an all-purpose wind and showerproof attention grabber.
Overall characteristics are a good natural feel - tough but soft if that doesn't sound too anachronistic - with a host of little touches like magnetic catches, large zip pulls that should be easy to operate even with big gloves and an alloy carabiner inside the sleeve pocket of the rain jacket to secure your keys. All the zippers are YKK-brand with the stitching on our samples well detailed although in our experience first samples are often worse than actual production.
Details: vulpine.cc
Epic Cotton Rain Jacket comes in this blue or charcoal. Texture is soft despite being highly waterproof.
Cuffs on the Rain Jacket fold back revealing warm knitted gaiter and reflective inner. £195
Storm covers over side pockets work in reverse for easy entry when riding, large tabs to grab even in gloves.
Magnetic catch on rear flap of Softshell Jacket, reflective tab for rear LED light. £160.
More magnetic catches on collar of Softshell Jacket, large zip tabs to grab.
Cotton Visibility Gilet is £100, red StormGuard tail folds away with a magnetic catch. Lots of reflective tape apart from the lime green colour which is a big fashion shade currently.
All very nice, except I don't really struggle to find things to wear on my top-half which look good and cope with cycling. Where are the shorts/trousers/etc? Or are we still supposed to walk in to the pub wearing tights?

I've been wearing the Gilet for the last week and have put a couple of hundred miles into it, daytime and night-time and its a great piece of kit.
Visible without being garish and with LOTS of subtle reflectivity on it to keep even the most paranoid of wives happy - well as happy as her husband being out at 1am can be!
Its comfy, sensible pockets and completely blocks the wind from the front to keep the wearer nice and cosy.
I've gone through a rain shower with it and stayed perfectly happy, although the back is mesh so you will get wet if it persists in raining, showers however are all good!
Is it my favourite top? it's in the top 3, and for days when I don't need or want sleeves its at the top of the pile for sure!
I wish these chaps well - think we might be seeing lots of them in the future!

They're working on it, apparently, but you're right, it's not easy and definitely don't wear tights (said the hypocrite working in the office today in Assos bibtights) We've just had in some Rohan long shorts which we're just writing about.

Hi Will, yea, we are working on it. In fact its all designed. It just takes a huge outlay to invest in manufacturing a product to such high standards. So we made the opening garments and we have lots queued up.
Hopefully we'll get some sales and we can push the little red button on some bottom-halvers!
Tights to be burned asap....

Whereas I found it quite refreshing!
Pricing isn't out of whack with similar competitors. It's expensive in terms of outlay, but good gear generally is - so now we just need to know if it is good! I'm hoping some reviews are coming. The cotton rain jacket certainly has my attention.

Not intended as any negative reflection on Vulpine however The Washing Machine Post is hardly the most hard-hitting of websites A pleasant enough read but I'd be unlikely to base any purchasing decisions on the strength of what he writes!

Dreaming with those prices
Disagree. I spent years buying lower-priced gear (not just cycling equipment) in the misguided belief that cost and value were the same thing.
Buy quality, buy once. In the long term you'll probably save money, plus you'll almost certainly own something that'll serve you better.

By Krista Hostetler. CREATED Dec 27, 2013
San Diego, CA (KTNV) -- A San Diego man was happy to be able to give an iPod to his wife for Christmas.
But, he wasn't so happy about what he found in the packaging.
The box was stuffed full of erasers and index cards, but no iPod.
The man took it back to the Target he bought it from. They gave him another one, but he made them open it right then and there.
Sure enough, more erasers and no iPod in the box.
Target said it's taking the situation very seriously.

Clearwater, Florida - 40 years ago President Richard Nixon declared the War on Drugs saying it was the number one enemy in the United States. Three years after declaring war, Nixon said it was won and the drug problem was under control in the country. However, the President should have said it was actually out of control. That fact was evident by the time Ronald Reagan became President and helped spur First Lady, Nancy Reagan to start a campaign "Just say no to drugs".
We asked Pinellas-Pasco Chief Judge Thomas McGrady if he felt after all the years of fighting the war on drugs the battle is being won? McGrady said it is not from the numbers he is seeing.
McGrady says 80 percent of the crimes are related to substance abuse, but for the most part the solution to the problem is incarceration. The Judge says in situations where they are non-violent, he believes it would be a better use of limited resources to put the effort toward treatment instead of imprisonment.
Courts throughout the state are trying to divert some drug offends to treatment instead of prison. Pinellas Judge Dee Anna Farnell, who runs a drug court, says when you see people go on from their drug abuse problems and become positive members of the community it is just incredible.
But there aren't enough treatment programs and Florida currently houses 19,414 inmates for non-violent drug offenses costing taxpayers $377,971,166 a year
Casey Ebsary, a former drug court prosecutor, says he doesn't think drug users are bad people trying to be good, but rather sick people who want to get well. Ebsary says non-violent drug abusers should not be in prison.
However, some like Polk Sheriff Grady Judd says he believes that drug abusers should get treatment behind bars. Judd asks why tinker with a system that is keeping people safe in the community. He pleads with legislators and the Governor to leave the system alone.
While Judd says keeping drug abusers out of prison is radical, Ebsary says what he believes is radical is not sending someone who is selling a machine gun, a rocket launcher or who is a violent felon to jail. Ebsary says it happens all the time because of minimum mandatory sentences for drug users that take up prison space.
However, it's not just the monetary costs, when the courts sentence a drug abuser to prison instead of to a program there is a societal cost as well and there is a good chance the judge will see the drug abuser in his or her court again.
Ebsary says prison is graduate school for whatever they were doing before they got in.
Mary Lynn Ulray, the executive director of a Drug Treatment Program DACCO, says she thinks the legislature is starting to understand there is a cost benefit from drug treatment.
Ulray says the agency's 6 month residential program has close to a 70 percent success rate in six months at a cost of $10,000 compare that to the average 6.4 year sentence costing taxpayer $124,601 per offender.
According to Ulray, until the system recognizes the mental health substance abuse parity with other diseases, there will be a problem. She says you can't lock people up because they have cancer or have diabetes. Ulray says drug abuse is also a disease.
But as long as drug abusers are locked up, the cost to taxpayers will continue to be a major problem just as drug use is 40 years after Nixon declared a war that clearly is being lost.

"Simplicity is the glory of expression."
- Walt Whitman
The way Epic Mickey interacts with the characters are really the key to the gameplay. In classic Spector style, it's not so much that you can interact with these characters, as much as whether you choose to interact with them and what path you choose to take when you do. It becomes apparent that The Mad Doctor has been fiddling with these classic Disney characters and scattering them everywhere, while Oswald has been attempting to put them back together out of loneliness. One of the choices that Mickey can eventually make is whether he wants to put Donald (and, presumably, the likes of Goofy and Pluto as well etc.) back together. In Epic Mickey, the animatronic Donald and other animatronic versions of Mickey's friends were constructed for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit so that he could have friends like Mickey's in his efforts to try and mimic his brother's life.

'Scary Beautiful' backward high heels: Fashion trend or accident waiting to happen?
CLEVELAND - A new pair of designer fashion shoes has left many scratching their heads.
The shoes, called "Scary Beautiful," could possibly be the most dangerous pair of shoes ever made. The massive heels appear to look backward on the foot, so if you wear them, your foot is pointing straight down the back. To make things even more uncomfortable, the shin leans against the front 'heel' for balance.
The shoes are a collaboration between artist Leanie van der Vyver and Dutch shoe designer Rene van den Berg. Van der Vyer told Yahoo! that the shoes were part of his graduation project and shows how far humans will go to achieve physical and met

PIC: Shirtless Robert Pattinson Goes Paddle Boarding!
Is there anything sexier than a half-naked Robert Pattinson?
The actor, 25, went paddle boarding in Malibu, Calif. Friday. The bearded star, who hasn't been photographed shirtless since shooting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 in St. Thomas in April 2011, also went jogging along the coast.
PHOTOS: The many sexy faces of Robert Pattinson
The sunny spot is much different than Pattinson's native England, but a source close to the actor tells Us Weekly that "he really likes Malibu. He and Kristen [Stewart] spend all their time there."

It's also made it easier for Pattinson to get serious about his fitness. "He has been trying to get more outdoorsy and cut down on smoking and drinking," the source tells Us, adding that he's been "doing more athletic stuff." See more photos of Robert Pattinson paddle boarding.
Though they'd been spotted at Chateau Marmont and Hotel Cafe earlier in the week, Pattinson didn't join girlfriend Stewart, 21, at Saturday's Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Stweart, who wore a blue Stella McCartney dress, won Favorite Movie Actress.

The hype around the debate last night was more interesting, in my mind, than the actual debate. Yes, in many ways, it was historical with Sarah Palin being the first woman to be nominated as her party's vice presidential candidate. Yes, there was a black woman as moderator. I didn't think either of these items was worthy of the print it got from the Associated Press.
There was the pre-debate questions surrounding Gwen Ifill as the moderator. Ifill is scheduled to release a book on January 20, 2009 that is entitled: The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama. The McCain campaign said they did not know this when Ifill was approved by both campaigns as moderator of this debate. That may well be and it may be that, in the interest of full disclosure, Ifill should have told the Commission on Presidential Debates that the book was coming out. I have to say that I never doubted for a minute that Ifill would be a professional. I was not happy with her reactions to Sarah Palin's convention speech but we all slip up occasionally. Ifill had had her slip up and was definitely professional. I did not, for a minute, think that the questions last evening favored one candidate and the top of that ticket over another. I did, though, worry as Ifill did her opening statement as she was very formal in introducing Palin but did not even put a title in front of Joe Biden the first time she mentioned his name. The worry was unnecessary.
I found Palin asking permission to call Biden Joe as they were greeting each other a huge mistake. The mic was on and everyone heard it. It could play one of two ways. First, he is old enough to be her father and she felt that he deserved the chance to allow her to call him by his first name. The other way was an unsureness, an insecurity. If you are in the business world, you call your peers by first name. You don't need to ask permission.
On the issues, I rate them in the manner below.
Bailout Bill – ooops, rescue bill – This topic went to Biden. He was there to vote. He could site campaign line on it. Palin did better to connect to the average voter when discussing this topic. She could have done more to point out what the ticket wanted to do to fix it, maybe even pointing out the imperfections in what did pass the Senate.
Vice President bridging the gap of polarization in the Senate – This one goes to Palin. Biden pointed out that he has done this his whole career. He then took on the comments made by John McCain about the fundamentals of the economy being sound. Please look below for some additional Biden comments. Palin not only defended McCain. She did so with spirit and pointed out that Barack Obama was a party line voter 96% of the time since coming to the Senate.
It was during this exchange over polarization that I decided Biden was being condescending. He was not making eye contact with the camera. During rebuttal time, he was talking to Ifill, not Palin. Palin looked right at Biden as she went to defend McCain's statement. She looked directly into the camera and spoke to the voters in the auditorium and watching on television. Biden did not do this as well.
Subprime Lending Mess and Fault – This topic went to Palin, because of what she said but could easily have been a tie because of what she did not say. Palin connected with the people on this. She talked about predatory lenders, deception, greed and corruption on Wall Street. Her biggest points of the night, in my mind as I have been looking for a politician to say something along these lines, came when she discussed personal responsibility, how we as individuals and Americans have to take some responsibility for what has happened and for learning lessons from it. Biden pointed out that two years ago his running mate warned of the subprime mortgage mess, whereas McCain was always for cutting regulations. Biden took this into health care briefly, saying McCain would also like to do the same deregulation to that area of your life. Palin rebutted with talking points about tax relief and government becoming more efficient and doing with less as the people are. She should have come back with bits about how Obama had to know what was coming with subprime mortgages as he had, as a community organizer, sued Citibank under the Community Reinvestment Act in 1994 to force the bank to make bad loans. He did this as a partner with ACORN.
During the exchange after this questions initial response, Ifill cut off Palin, saying time was up. Of course, Ifill had learned from Jim Lehrer that she had to do this if she wanted to get in more questions than he did. I was concerned that she was doing so with Palin but she also cut off Biden later in the debate so was well within her rights as moderator to do so.
Class Warfare – This issue was a tie. Biden said it is called fairness in his part of the world to give the lower and the middle classes a break and tax the wealthy more. The reason for a tie here is a statement Biden made that I will have to look into more. He did not just reiterate the ticket's line of 95% of people would see tax relief. He said 95% of those making less than $150,000 would see relief. This is different from what Obama says daily. He also said that the wealthy would pay no more in taxes than they did under Ronald Reagan. Usually, Obama says that the wealthy would pay no more than under Clinton. Palin stated that the $250,000 threshold would hurt millions of small business owners, thereby hurting job creation and the economy. She also discussed the McCain health care plan here and that is it budget neutral. Biden actually sounded condescending as he started his rebuttal – saying he didn't know where to start. He said he, and those in his neighborhood and the neighborhoods he grew up in, don't call a redistribution of wealth and taxes fairness. He also stated that 95% of small business owners make less than $250,000. I am not sure if he realizes what a business owner makes is not the same as what he pays taxes on. He, then, went on to say that the McCain health care plan was going to ultimately cost the health care consumer money and was the "ultimate bridge to nowhere."
What promises can the ticket not keep that are being made – This issue goes to Biden, not because he actually answered but because he used the topic better. He spoke of items that the campaign is promising and which would be slowed in implementation and which would not, could not be slowed. Palin ignored the question. I was totally dismayed that she would mention that she has only been at this five weeks. That is not an excuse. Not that I want to defend Joe Biden, but as a vice presidential candidate, he has only been at this thing six weeks. Palin needs to get away from talking points and be herself.
Changing Bankruptcy Laws Last Year – This one is a tie. Palin said that last year she would have supported the changes but that things have changed since last year. Biden and Obama voted differently on this item. Biden went back to subprime in his response and that bankruptcy judges have to have more flexibility to help consumers stay in their homes.
I think that this was about the time that Palin's performance started to decline. Her answers seemed to become more unfocused. It was like the time was too long. This is also the point in time when I started to think the debate was too long. Neither candidate was telling me anything I was looking for regarding their ticket and I kept asking how much longer.
The debate did go on and I have about another eight pages of notes. Unfortunately, like my lack of attention last night, I have a lack now. There were some interesting exchanges on foreign policy and I will make a second entry on the rest of the debate as I have other obligations now.

Top-ranked recipe named "Weight Watchers Grilled Salmon(9 Points)"
This is wonderful and easy to make Weight Watchers grilled salmon recipe that the whole family will love.
"I've heard from Gordon Ramsay, that Alaska salmon should not be turned... I have no idea why..."
1. Place salmon fillets in a medium, nonporous glass dish. In a separate medium bowl,
combine the peanut oil, soy sauce, vinegar, green onions, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, red
pepper flakes, sesame oil and salt. Whisk this together well and pour over the fish. Cover and
marinate the fish in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
2. Prepare an outdoor grill with coals about 5 inches from the grate and lightly oil the grate.
3. Grill the fillets 5" from coals for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at the thickest
part, or until fish just flakes with a fork. Turn over halfway through cooking.

We're vulnerable to whatever life has in store for us.
In many ways, vulnerability offers several advantages. When we allow our kids to struggle, we help build their strength and determination to keep trying. In witnessing their disappointment, we know that they'll likely appreciate what they have and continue to learn from their mistakes. Even getting hurt or heartbroken—emotions we'd rather not have—can lift them to greater heights.
Then we feel vulnerable to unthinkable circumstances that no child—no adult—should experience; yet throughout the world and sometimes even closer to home, many do.
There is no insurance or guarantee to completely shield kids from any and all harm. No command-Z "undo" should anything horrifying happen to our kids. And one of the more painful feelings of being a parent is realizing that we can do our best, and that's all we can really do. The rest lies in the choices our kids make and what life brings.
So how can we help ease the vulnerability we often feel when we realize that our babies are growing and will eventually face the world on their own?
- Empower them with resiliency. Bad news can easily plunge a person into a downward spiral, where negativity begets negativity. Those with the resiliency to pick themselves up from the dust have better chances to thrive and remove themselves from a potentially negative cycle.
- Build a stable home with set routines. While we could all use spontaneity here and there, most of us hold better with routines, especially when change—positive or negative—takes place in children's lives.
- Be the anchor in their lives. Kids need to know that they can turn to their parents and loved ones for support, guidance, and information, and often draw reassurance from us to quench their fears and frustration.
- Embrace all their emotions. Whether your kid is afraid of dogs or is struggling through a traumatic change, acknowledge their emotions as real. Label them. Discuss them.
- Don't live in fear. So many terrible events can happen in a given day without warning, yet so much goodness can flow as well.
Every mom is vulnerable. From the moment we're pregnant, we're left with the possibilities of what could go wrong, such as hoping to just get through that first trimester so that we're "safe." Then we realize that parenthood doesn't really have a safe zone where anything is guaranteed. Even as one worry passes, another one can easily come. After all, anything can happen to our children at three days old, three months, three years, even thirty years.
The vulnerability and worrying over all the "what if's" would be so much easier if we didn't pour our whole lives and hearts to our kids. It can be painful to love so much, not knowing just how everything will turn out.
But it's so worthwhile, this whole parenting thing, even with your heart on your sleeve.
I used to think that parenting babies and young kids is a one-way street, with parents giving and giving. Who wouldn't, with all the sleepless nights and endless needs and demands. Yet I eventually learned that it's actually the other way around: my son has given me more in return, even at three years old. And that is worth the vulnerability of parenthood.
This post is dedicated to all children who continue to touch those around them in ways only a child can. Thank you for teaching us adults a thing or two about life.
How do you handle the "what if's" and worries that could happen to your kids? What lessons have you drawn from your kids?

Windows 8's current uptake remains rather slow, but it appears that Microsoft manages to sign major deals with authorities across the world every once in a while.
This time, the Scottish government has decided to go for Windows 8 when it comes to tablets for its staff, with workers to be allowed to choose from Samsung Series 7 Slate, the Dell Latitude 10 and the Samsung ATIV.
While the fact that the Surface is still missing from this campaign is a bit surprising, it's pretty clear that Microsoft can only be pleased with these campaigns, especially because it continues to bet big on the mobility side of its operating system.
"The decision to move to Windows 8 was driven by a need to support greater mobility of staff following several consultations," said Andy McClintock, chief technology officer at the Scottish Government, according to a report by Computing.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Anthony RhoadsThere's no doubt there's a lot of football talent in the Southern Crescent, particularly Clayton County. Right now, there are dozens of former local standouts who are on NCAA Division I-A and I-AA rosters throughout the country. There's former North Clayton standout D.J. Shockley at Georgia and this year, he's joined by incoming freshman Jeremy Lomax, a defensive end from Lovejoy. Former Mt. Zion standout John Huber is currently on Georgia's practice squad. At Georgia Tech, there are two Jonesboro representatives, freshmen Jamal Lewis and Darrell Robertson. It would be pretty hard to list everyone else across the country but there's a local presence not only in the SEC and ACC but in the Big 10, Big 12, the Southern Conference, the MAC, Conference USA, the SWAC and the Sun Belt Conference. Even though it's neat there are so many local guys playing college football right now, it's nothing new. The current guys are just carrying on a tradition that's been going on for years. Here is a glance at some former local standouts who have gone on to play college and pro football: Andre Hastings played on the 1987 Morrow team that won the state championship. Hastings went on to Georgia and later became one of the top wide receivers in the NFL. He caught 10 passes in Super Bowl XXX with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hines Ward, of Forest Park, went on to become a standout at Georgia and is still with the Pittsburgh Steelers going into the 2004 season. Scott Woerner, of Jonesboro, played for Georgia and was on the 1980 team that won the national championship. Woerner was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons and he also played in the USFL. Dainon Sidney, of Riverdale, went on to play for the Tennesee Titans and played in the 2000 Super Bowl. Emmanuel McDaniel, of Jonesboro, played for the New York Giants and played in the 2001 Super Bowl. Jack Aaron, of Forest Park, played in the 1960 North-South All-Star Game and signed with Clemson. He later played with the Philadelphia Eagles. Mareno Philyaw, of North Clayton, played college football at Troy State and was picked by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2000 draft. David Horn played at Riverdale from 1988-90 and signed with Tennessee. Sam Kelly played at North Clayton from 1975-77 and was the Clayton defensive Player of the Year. He went on to play at Georgia Tech. Mike Martin played at North Clayton from 1984-86 and went on to play at Georgia. Thornton Marshall played at Mt. Zion from 1995-97 and went on to Auburn. He gained 1,358 yards rushing his senior year at Mt. Zion and scored 13 touchdowns. Jeff Howard was the starting quarterback for Morrow during the state championship season of 1987. He went to Georgia Tech and was on the team that won the national championship in 1991. Robert Arnaud played at Morrow from 1993-94 and went to Georgia. He later played in the NFL including a stint with the Baltimore Ravens. Tracy Smith played at Jonesboro from 1986-87 and later was a starting cornerback for the Tennessee Volunteers. Anthony Rhoads is a sports writer for the Daily and his column appears on Wednesdays. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

My sewing machine died. Just bunches up in the bobbinI think I wore it out with heavy duty thread. Am in the middle of my bug bivy. The bottom is done. I have to attach the netting. Looks like I have to go to the needle. Any stitch recommendation?The only one I know is the button hole. Thanks.
Way before I learned on a sewing machine my grandma showed me how to do a whip stitch and locking whip stitch. Googling it for video or diagram would probably be help full. You could always use the over and under method as well.^ || then V ____________fabric/ make sure you lock or knot the first stich. If you can whip stitch it, it would go aloot quicker. Or borrow someone elses sewing machine. I can send you one for the cost of package and shipping if you want. I'm am a bit of a collector and my wife would love to see one leave instead of come home. Joel
FYI I'm in indiana so it could possibly get there in just a couple of days with cheap shipping. Shoot me a pm if interested. We can work out the details
Edited by jhalan on 06/25/2012 15:33:45 MDT.
Hi TimI doubt your machine has worn out. Seriously.Step 1: strip it down, top and bottom, and clean it out, then oil it. Check for really free running with no needle or thread.Step 2: go over all the tension adjustments and get them right. You may need a manual. Check the web for this.Ah - is it an older mechanical one or a modern one with plastic gears, stepper motors and electronics? The modern ones can lose a sync sensor - which sometimes can be fixed.Cheers
I don't see why a simple baste stitch shouldn't work. When I hand-stitch gear I usually just set up a french seam and then baste two lines of stitching. Will take you a minute but it will be just as strong as if you'd done it on the machine. Just sew in a straight line!
Joel -- thank you for the offer, but this was to be my last myog. I will drop into manual mode to wrap this up. Roger -- this is a plastic pos singer kid machine. There is only one tension adjustment. Nothing else. I did clean and oil it. I am using the same thread and needle size and material (silnylon) from my last project, but I cannot get it to sew anymore. It just bunches up and then freezes. Even on a good day it, it did not do a good job. Oh well. I would use it for a boat anchor, but I don't own a boat.Nancy -- I will review the baste stitch. Thank you too.

12 Things You Didn't Know About Some Of Your Favorite Christmas Movies
Christmas films like A Christmas Story and Christmas Vacation go right along with mistletoe, carols, and cookies as staples of the holiday season. And in celebration of the 12 days of Christmas, here are 12 bits of trivia you may not know about some of your favorite Christmas movies.
'It's a Wonderful Life 2′ Is in the Works Because We Need 'The Rest of the Story'
Seems there is no moratorium on sequels as, just in time for the holidays, comes news that the Jimmy Stewart classic 'It's a Wonderful Life' is getting a sequel. Nope, not a remake, but a sequel, since apparently we didn't get the full story the first time around. The new film, titled 'It's a Wonderful Life: The Rest of the Story' (original!) will follow the grandson of Stewart's character.
