Gov. Jeb Bush is calling lawmakers back to town for another special session on medical malpractice insurance, and plans even more sessions if the next one isn't enough.
Friday afternoon, the governor issued a lengthy and specific criticism of the Legislature's efforts to lower malpractice insurance costs.
And he rebuked lawmakers for not getting anything done, saying in a letter addressed to Senate President Jim King that actions speak louder than words.
If they don't get it done in the July 9th session, he'll call them back July 22nd through the 28th. If it's not fixed then, he'll recall them Aug. 5-13, and if they still haven't acted, he will bring them back sporadically for the rest of the summer.

A missing 5-month-old was found safe, but her disappearance has created a legal snafu for Oklahoma authorities.
An Amber Alert for Olivia Smith was issued out of Cashion, Okla. Thursday after she was reportedly abducted from her grandmother's home. Olivia's parents are both in jail, and the infant had been staying with her grandmother.
"Two white females walked into the house, grabbed the 5-month baby and ran back out of the house into a vehicle," Kingfisher County Deputy Jonathan Reidlinger told Oklahoma City CBS affiliate News 9.
An Amber Alert was broadcast nationwide, and authorities raced to find the child, who was believed to be in danger. Fourteen hours after the child went missing, she was found unharmed in Seminole, Texas. But the Kingfisher County Sheriff's Office says the case isn't a cut and dry abduction case.
"[The suspects] had a document signed by the mother," a spokesman with the sheriff's office told 11 News. He said the document authorized Findley and Skousen to take baby Olivia from the grandmother's home.
The problem with the document, the sheriff's office said, is that it wasn't signed off by a judge.
"In Oklahoma, you can't just sign something...it has to be approved by a judge....it would be like if I had a child and one of my relatives walked into my home with a piece of paper and took her," the sheriff's office spokesperson said.
Texas authorities, however, saw it differently. When Findley and Skousen were found in Texas with the child, law enforcement there reportedly said the document sufficed. Neither woman was arrested, and Olivia remains with a relative in Texas.
Kingfisher County Sheriff's Office said they can't say yet if Findley and Skousen face charges in Oklahoma. But the spokesman said the whole mess could have been avoided in the first place if the document had just been approved by a judge.
"Could have been worked out in a court of law...this blew up bigger than it should have."

Can a doctor's urine pregnancy test be wrong?
I am 2 months late from my period and have been having slight cramps and lower back aches and also have been peeing more than usual. I have two kids already so sometimes when I'm late with my period I automatically feel "pregnant" again. I went for an annual pap test 3 weeks ago and the doc. took a urine test and he said it came back negative,could he be wrong? Everyday my period feels like its coming but then doesn't and my boobs just started hurting really bad yesterday. What do you all think?? and what should I do?

YOU MAY BE PREGNAT THE DOCTORS TEST IS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT THE URINE ISIN'T BUT THE BLOOD IS ALWAYS RIGHT The first person who answered is wrong and I am proof of that. Dr.'s offices don't use any fancy urine test, they use the same stick thing everyone else does, they just supposedly have a professional preforming the test. When I was pregnant with my first two children both tests at the Dr. office (urine tests) came back negative, I was two weeks late on my period and they did blood tests and both were positive. So yes a urine test could definately give false negatives'. False positives I don't think so as much. Your ovarian cyst could be throwing off your period. I would wait until you go back in, because if you haven't started by then just have them re-test you. Good luck.Yes, a urine test can show a false negative. If you test too early and/or there isn't enough hormone in your urine, it could come up negative. Same goes for the doctor's office. I would retest next week, or ask for a blood test when you go in for the surgery. The cyst could be affecting you in terms of stress (and since it sounds like you've been late before with no pregnancy, it could be a repeat of that). I don't think anyone can answer "what are the chances" that you're pregnant since that depends on so, so many factors that we have no knowledge of.posted 11/16/2011 by yeseniaydaniel
Actually just found out I am preg. I went back to the doc today!!!posted 04/30/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Replay some of the greatest hits from previous Indie Royale bundles in the Replay Bundle Vol. 1. Back by popular demand - grab great titles that you may have missed the first time around! Included in this bundle are FPS and RTS hybrid experience Nuclear Dawn, futuristic tower-defense game Defense Grid: The Awakening, classic 2D adventure game Gemini Rue, and two fast-paced dungeon adventures Soulcaster I and II. Also included is a very special 56-track album bonus (a $20 value!) for those who pay $8 USD or their currency equivalent during this bundle, the 8 Bit Weapon Collection.
First up is InterWave Studios' Nuclear Dawn, available for Windows and Mac on Steam, which offers a full FPS and RTS hybrid experience, without crippling or diluting either side of the game. Players can storm a building as an assault trooper, cling to the shadows with active stealth, or unleash incredible firepower from a high-tech suit of exo-armor, or lead as a commander, marshalling resources and deploying weapons and equipment for your troops. PCGamer praises Nuclear Dawn calling it a "surprisingly deep and well-designed FPS/RTS hybrid."
Also included is Hidden Path Entertainment's Defense Grid: The Awakening, an acclaimed, futuristic tower-defense game for Windows on Steam, Desura, and DRM-free. GameSpot calls it a "quintessential example" of the genre and "compulsively playable" for newcomers and skilled players, as they attempt to fight off hoards of increasingly complex alien assaults. Defense Grid includes *six* additional items of DLC: the Borderlands DLC, Resurgence Map Packs 1-4, and an upgrade from the first Indie Royale, the 'GLaDOS from Portal'-starring You Monster DLC! (The additional DLC is available for Steam only.)
Next up is Wadjet Eye Games' Gemini Rue, available for Windows on Steam, Desura, and DRM-free. A previous Independent Games Festival finalist, the Joshua Nuernberger-created title is a moody, classic 2D adventure game, with a futuristic sci-fi setting and hand-drawn backgrounds galore. IGN raves about Gemini Rue: "[w]ith (for the most part) seamless, intuitive gameplay, impressive atmosphere and one of most well-crafted and interesting storylines seen in recent years, Gemini Rue is a game not just for adventure fans, but for anyone who loves a good, gritty yarn."
Last up are two acclaimed retro RPG-defense games: Soulcaster I and II available for Windows on Desura and DRM-free. Acclaimed indie developer MagicalTimeBean offers up two fast-paced dungeon adventures, where players tactically summon the powers of immortal warriors to battle hordes of monsters, discover secrets, collect treasure and buy powerful upgrades for their immortal allies. DIY Gamer says of Soulcaster II "It's simple, it's focused, it's compelling and it's just plain fun. The simple retro aesthetic works well, and the soundtrack is full of energy and toe-tapping beats. Grab it."
Again, for those who pay $8 USD or their currency equivalent for the Replay Bundle Vol. 1 get a chiptune masterpiece, the 8 Bit Weapon Collection from 8 Bit Weapon. This 56-track album covers over a decade of groundbreaking work by the chipmusic band 8 Bit Weapon and ComputeHer. Featuring 3 hours of chiptastic sounds, the tracks come from multiple albums, singles, remixes and rare demos, and previously unreleased tracks.
You can find more information on the Replay Bundle Vol. 1, including real-time statistics and its current price, on its official website or via its Facebook and Twitter pages. Grab this bundle now while the price is still low (unless kind purchasers lower the price) for an unbeatable deal!

I finished the game and it was awsome...but i have to ask is there different endings or just the one?
Im not saying i did not like the ending im just asking is all.
Ok well to tell the truth the one thing i did not like about the ending was that he didnt get his conscience back.
That ****** me off a little bit.
nice spoil there buddy...
This game is just great :) I pray for more adventures in this universe
No Linux port yet? awww... :(
Looks nice. Will buy if there is a Linux port.
I played the demo, and am giving it a 9/10 based on what I played. The game is magnificent. My only complaint is the price seems a little high. I would be more tempted to buy the game if it were something like $9.99.
you are complaining about 4 dollars? i would hate to go to mc donalds with you for lunch haha
It is certainly a good game, and i would love to try it if it would let me play it... Instead of what, this direct 3d error is just getting on my nerves.
Doezer: Did you switch the game to run on direct3D? The game doesn't support that. If you switch it back to the default settings (DirectDraw) it should be able to run.
Looks great, will likely buy if there's a Linux version (will try demo first :D)
@letseatmushrooms Yeah, I was thinking it looked like Beneath A Steel Sky too :)
is the story very good?
i mean, it kinda reminds me of beneath a steel sky (i think was its name) which i loved. so i feel like i might like it, but i wouldnt pay 15 for beneath a steel sky..

My blog is JT Running DC. It's awesome.
I figured I'd be up first.
I'm watching "Spirit of the Marathon" while having breakfast and getting ready. I need to leave the house in about an hour. My nerves have settled a bit. It looks like the rain may hold off until a half hour or more into the race.
I hope to check in with a "proof of life" at around 11am with full race report soon after.
Good luck today Scott and SIAR!
fake it till you make it
Good luck today racers! What an exciting weekend, can't wait to read all the race reports!
Finally PRed!!!
Go Julia, Scott and SIAR!!!
Heading out for my last pre-race run in a bit. Then some serious carbo-loading!

Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to Atlanta I go. Rest day, heading to the race expo , and a nice pasta laden birthday dinner with my fam. NTS-- see ya tomorrow, maybe.
Half: 1:48 (March 3rd, 2013)

2013/2014 Goals:
Sub-4:00 hour Marathon
Sub- 125 poundsSub- 1:45 hour half.
Happy birthday, jojo!
Got my run in, 2.5 miles very easy, then about 3 min fast with brief all-out effort at end. Already got over 200 g of carbs in, most from Cytocarb, but also a banana, some other fruit and some juice, I'll have some oatmeal in a bit also.
Again, I apologize for not being around more often. I went from supervising 50 employees to almost 120 and there is no end in the immediate future. It's become less stressful, but the busy work seems non-stop.
Good luck to all who are racing this weekend and happy birthday Jodi!
19.26 in 2:46ish on a very hilly route. Extremely happy with that and I felt I could have tacked on a few more. I usually do 2-3 LRs before a marathon and that was the second. I may go for another one next Saturday which is just before vacation.
mostly harmless
Proof of life from limo w/champagne: 03:23:52. Full report later...
Congrats! 3:54:52 for me. Back later.
Go figure
Scott...HOLY PR batman! That's a killer sub 4 time. Great job!!!
Julia...What a time! That's super fast. I can't wait to hear how you feel about it....I hope you're thrilled.
I ran a 29:23 for my 5 miler. I'm really excited about the run.
Happy birthday Jodi!
Trying to find some more hay to restock the barn
Congrats Julia, Scott and SIAR!!
Really great times from all of you.
I'm sipping on some Cytocarb, and getting ready to cook some pasta.
WOOHOO! PR's all around! Nice work Julia, Scott, and SIAR!!!
Hope you are all celebrating in style. Well, we know Julia is! Post- race limo, what a great idea!
Happy birthday Jojo!
I ran a too-long run today. Planned 22, ended up 23.5, and due to some serious wind/ice took longer than it should. I was tired during the last 4 miles, which also were uphill. Not as fun/fast as my last two 20 milers, but I feel fine now that I'm done so hopefully no damage done. Another cup of coffee and I might even thaw out a little.
Coming back later to read race reports and check on those tweaking for tomorrow's races!
Yay for the PRs. We just got into Atlanta!
Jen...Wow, that's a long training run! Still feeling fine afterwards has to be a nice confidence boost. Remind me that it went okay for you when I have 24 to do in a couple weeks, please? Good luck with the thawing.
Swift...I hope the legs felt good on your little shakeout run. Enjoy that carb loading and Cytocarb (which doesn't sound too good).
Jodi...Glad to see you're in the ATL safely. I hope you have a great dinner with the fam.
Marco...Nice to see that work is getting a little stressful for you, even if it's still busy. Great job on your long run today. I love your training because it's just what you do, and it seems to work really well for you.
Good luck tomorrow everybody! Let's keep this positive mojo rolling in ATL, LA, and the Shamrock!
Scott, Julia, and SIAR--awesome times! You all should be on cloud nine right now. I have worked hard around the house after the LR. I am beat but am trying to talk myself out of taking Casper for a short run later.

Authorities Release Photo Of Santa Monica Gunman Who Killed Five People Friday
Posted Jun. 10, 2013, 8:59 am
Brenton Garen / Editor-in-Chief
The death toll in Santa Monica's shooting rampage has risen to six, including the gunman, as the Santa Monica Police Department confirms the shooter as 23-year-old John Zawahri and identifying four of the five victims killed.
Santa Monica College opened at 7 am today, except for the library, as students return for the final two days of finals.
A 26-year-old female who was shot while in an SUV on campus during Friday's shooting spree died Sunday, becoming the fifth victim from the rampage.
Authorities confirmed her identity Sunday as Marcela Dia Franco; she died at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Westwood after she was taken off life support.
Marcela, who had registered to take classes during the upcoming summer session at SMC, had visited the campus Friday with her father, 68-year-old Carlos Navarro Franco; he also died. Carlos was a SMC grounds keeper of 22 years.
According to news reports, Marcela and her father were visiting campus to buy textbooks.
Three others were also killed, during the shooting spree, including the gunman's 24-year-old brother Christopher Zawahri and 56-year-old father Samir Zawahri and a woman outside the SMC library.
According to SMC and news reports, the community college created a fund in honor of the Franco family.
Law enforcement officials gunned down John Zawahri early Friday afternoon, one day before what would have been his 24th birthday.
SMPD and other law enforcement agencies are still trying to determine Zawarhi's motives, though during a press conference Saturday afternoon Santa Monica Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks stated she presumed the shooting spree to be premeditated.
Seabrooks added Zawarhi was dressed in all black and maintained with him an assault rifle and about 1,300 ammunition rounds during the shooting spree.
The shooting spree, which started just before noon Friday when a house fire was reported at Yorkshire Avenue, last 13 minutes, according to authorities and reports; the house was apparently where Zawarhi allegedly killed his brother and father.
Zawarhi had reportedly enrolled in classes at SMC in 2010.

L. McCann said...
My daughter calls me.. "Mom, mom, theres been a shouting on campus! "I was preparing to go to the library to sale my books but I got a call to not go!" I am so sorry for the pain that so many families are going experiencing right now. My daughter just happened to sleep in that morning. I will never get on her case again and just be grateful.

It slipped under the radar here, but an important player in Bullets history died over the weekend. Important in Washington Bullets history, but still.
Charles Johnson came off the bench for the 1978 championship team after being traded from the Warriors in midseason and played a huge role while Phil Chenier battled injuries (8.3 ppg in the regular season after joining the team, 10.2 in the playoffs, in about 20 minute a game in each). He died Friday of cancer at age 58. He's the first of that team to pass away (in an unfortunate coincidence, he's also the third player to go from the Warriors team that swept the Bullets in the 1975 championship).
If you rooted for those Bullets, you remember the way both the P.A. announcer at Capital Centre and the Bullets' play-by-play man would yell "C.J.!'' when he'd hit another long jumper from a crazy angle. The man loved to shoot, no question, and he did it well.
Here is a very nice tribute to C.J. (who was a Bay Area guy) from my old S.F. Chronicle colleague, Ray Ratto. This one is from the Oakland Tribune. This recollection, from a longtime friend and fellow player, was in a blog on the San Jose Mercury News Web site. The most common theme: he was a quiet yet intense player who poured all of himself into his play during his career, and when he left the game, he kept any problems he had - including his illness - out of the conversation. Sounds like he lived a full life, as brief as it was, and the two championship rings were only part of his legacy.

Japan apologizes to former POW from St. Louis
Thursday, September 30, 2010
FLORISSANT, Mo. (AP) -- Nearly seven decades after Japanese troops captured Earl Szwabo during World War II, the suburban St. Louis man has received an apology.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Wednesday that Szwabo, now 89, was a 17-year-old GI in 1942 when Japanese troops had surrounded him and his unit on a Philippine island.
"We had heard that the Japanese took no prisoners, so yes, I was scared, but what could I do?" he said.
Szwabo spent the next 42 months as a prisoner of war at Bilibid Prison in Manila and then in a labor camp in Nagoya, Japan. He was beaten and forced to watch the execution of fellow prisoners who had tried to escape. He lost 70 pounds -- half his body weight -- subsisting on a daily diet of one rice ball and a cup of fish head soup.
Earlier this month, nearly 65 years after he was rescued, Szwabo was among six former American POWs who returned to Japan on the country's first "peace visit" -- an official apology from the Japanese government. Szwabo, who is active in a POW group, was picked for the trip by lottery.
Szwabo will never forget what he saw and how he was treated, but said it is time to forgive. He said the Japanese were "interested in hearing our side of the story, and I think it opened some eyes."
The former POW visited a copper factory in Nagoya, a port city near Tokyo, where he worked 12-hour shifts as slave labor. He said soldiers were regularly beaten for stealing food from the plates of local residents who also worked at the plant.
Much of the work involved melting down bells seized from churches. Szwabo recalled that during one air raid, he took cover inside a large bell. A local woman was already in there with her baby. The baby was holding a baked sweet potato, and Szwabo grabbed it.
"I felt like two cents for doing it," he said. "But at the time all I could think was, 'That'll be another day that I live."'
When he wasn't working, Szwabo said he had little energy to try and keep his spirits up.
"You just wanted to sleep," he said. "That and pray -- I made a deal with God that if he would get me back, I'd go to church."
After the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, all of the Japanese soldiers fled, and the plant shut down. American planes dropped 55-gallon drums filled with food. The POWs eventually took a train to Tokyo, where they boarded Red Cross ships and received medical care.
Szwabo stayed in the Army and retired after a 20-year career, most of it as a chief warrant officer. He then spent 41 years as director of personnel and purchasing for the city of Florissant. He volunteers at the USO at Lambert Airport.
Szwabo said his trip to Japan gave him peace.
"I figure I was lucky," he said. "A lot of POWs didn't make it back."

In the late '90s, Blake Nelson's debut novel, Girl, was turned into a feature film starring Dominique Swain. While the adaptation can be strangely addictive for its utter badness, it was a far cry from its source material -- the grunge, the feeling, the spark were all sapped from it and what remained was a goofy tale about a girl trying to be cool to get the guy. (Although it was one of the only films I liked Tara Reid in.) Gus Van Sant did not have this problem bringing the next adapted Nelson novel, Paranoid Park, to the big screen. The director understands the kids of Nelson's Portland, and they're every bit as grungy and real as you could imagine. Unfortunately, that's just about all the film has going for it.
This adaptation was so bland on the big screen that I actually found myself itching for Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Like Girl, this is a tale of suburban kids looking to shed their comfortable, middle-class living for some street-class cred. Where Andrea visited clubs and wore cow dresses, Alex (Gabe Nevins) heads to the local skateboard park, nicknamed Paranoid Park, with his friend. Alex is mesmerized by rolling skateboarders, but feels he isn't good enough to participate. One night, he goes back on his own and befriends some kids who say they live there. Then, time jumps forward and backward to tell Alex's story. During an interview with a police detective, we learn that a security guard who was found dead near the park might have been murdered. From Alex's actions, it is obvious that he knows something about this crime, and Van Sant ties the strings together slowly.
The strings are tied so slowly, in fact, that the entire story could be said in a quarter of the time -- without losing one bit of dialog. Sandwiched between almost every expository scene is a slow-motion scene of some action -- usually skating or Alex walking. Over and over, the progression of the story is sufficiently stalled by these scenes. While a bit of slow motion here or there can enhance skating technique or create tension, Van Sant's overuse of the technique is grating, and it often takes away the impressive slickness of the skateboarders he is filming.
The final nail in this cinematic coffin is the acting. The only way this story can work is to feel for the characters and experience the drama with them. Instead, you can close your eyes and imagine a bunch of normal kids reading the script in class. Each time Alex runs into Macy (Lauren McKinney), his classmate, she grins and looks off-screen -- but it doesn't feel like she's nervous, it feels like the actress is stifling a giggle and getting cues for her lines. But this awkward, stiffly-performed feeling isn't only from the young actors. For example -- Detective Richard Lu (Daniel Liu), who questions Alex, can't believably pull off his role, and each line and question seems shockingly fake.
I really wanted to like Paranoid Park. Blake Nelson is a pro at writing engaging adolescent worlds, and while Van Sant has had his duds, there is a reason we all know his name. It's hard, because you can see the potential in the story, which makes the actual result an unappetizing, tedious tease. Were this some young, uber-indie, school film, I could give it a break, but Gus has more talent than this -- and he really needs to find it again.

The line features the Dance Party Massacre elements that we have come accustomed to, including gore mixed in with a little light fun. You'll also notice this line in particular features a more retro era feel reminiscent of 50's black and white movies and biker gangs. Pieces from the new line, including tees, tanks and v-necks, range in price from $19.95 to $23.95 but be sure to use the coupon code "COTYG" at checkout for an additional 10% off your entire order! Go and buy some DPM gear now!
The Dance Party Massacre crew put together a neat little video documenting some behind the scenes action involving the summer 2010 line, specifically the product photoshoot. Take a peek at it below!

Your Opinion: Fair Tax and the tax code
Wednesday, December 14, 2011
Dear Editor:
On Dec. 6 a reader wrote how he doubted if the Fair Tax crowd prepared their own tax returns or it was probably the 1040ez or maybe H&R Block did their returns. He had worked for H&R Block. He said the tax code can fit on a note card but it is the exemptions that fill thousands of pages. The writer made it seem as if income tax forms are easy to fill out and file so the cost was not a factor.
Why do taxpayers pay H&R Block four billion dollars each year to do their taxes (H&R Block's last four-year average revenue)? I don't think Warren Buffett had H&R do his taxes. Those $4 billion each year came from lower (than Buffett) income taxpayers.
We are paying an estimated $300 billion each year to file our taxes. Included in the Fair Tax rate is one-fourth of one percent to pay businesses to collect the taxes and one-fourth of 1 percent to pay the state agencies to oversee and audit these businesses in their state.
To say our present tax collection system does not cost very much is not true.
Can we not find a more efficient tax collection system than the one we are using now? The Fair Tax would save taxpayers $300 billion each year in compliance costs.

Loose Talk comes to us from Spindustry Clothing. You remember them, right? I reviewed them a while back on Co-Tee TV Episode #45. You might remember that they do super limited releases for their custom made T-Shirts. Well, they are back with another "secret" release and this time the shirts were limited to a print run of just 12. Crazy. So my only suggestion for you is that if you dig this shirt then buy it as fast as you can.
The shirt is printed on an Alstyle tee and features World War II Artwork by Howard Scott. It very much reminds me of those political, propaganda posters during the war. Depending on your views, this tee can be a powerful statement shirt. It's available now for $14.99 in very limited quantities.

Neither will I try to condense the events of the English Civil War into a few paragraphs. Rather my aim is to give you an idea of the causes, economic, political and religious, which led to Revolution and Regicide, and try to explain, not excuse, the actions and motivations of the two main characters, each representative of his background and interests.

Golden Globes: Best and Worst Dressed.
28 comments:
Eva Longoria-best dressed. Halle Berry?? Sorry. Don't like it-looks like a Cat Woman outfit!ReplyDelete
did you like natalie's? I was disappointed. I thought she could ve done way better being freshly pregnant....ReplyDelete
With you on the 1940s hair - so glam. Michelle is very cool and original, but that dress material is dire. Her stylist needs a serious talking to!ReplyDelete
also, i am too young to know her well, but i thought jane fonda looked awesome.ReplyDelete
Awesome, I just posted about this! Glad someone else is interested in who wore the best and worst dresses. I definitely agree that Michelle's dress was horrible! My favorite dress was Olivia Wilde's, I also loved Anne Hathaway, and Emma Stone. But Angelina, Eva, and Carrie definitely made my best dressed list! xoxoReplyDelete
I just blogged about this last night! I was in LOVE with Olivia Wilde's dress as well as Eva Longoria :)ReplyDelete
@nikaela marie- agreed on natalie. i liked it overall but something more formfitting would be cuter with a new baby bump!ReplyDelete
@aya - emma stone did look AWESOME too. i add her to honorable mention!
@heather- hahah i see where you are going with the cat woman thing but i still loved it!
i'd date angelina jolie if i could.ReplyDelete
really. she's so freaking hot.
also - tina fey never dresses well, but since she's awesome, she gets a pardon from me, cause she has more important things to do like put out the best show on tv and write funny things.
@camilla- me too, me too.ReplyDelete
loved angelina, anne, olivia wilde, glee's diana, and emma stone!ReplyDelete
and i thought natalie looked gorgeous, and i think she can rock anything {even a pink dress with a huge red flower}
as for the worst: tilda swinton hands down was the worst for me.
i didn't get to watch this year (stupid foreign country) so i am loving this post!ReplyDelete
Michelle looks like me that time I let my stepmother dress me for junior prom. Damn.ReplyDelete
Also, yes to stalking Angie and Brad with cameras. They caught her putting on lip gloss...and I was all, "Oo, did you see that?"
didn't get to see it here, in the Middle East....but from the constant limpiness in angelina's hair, it looks like she is lacking some vitamin or nutrients...like food. or something. i'm jus' sayin'.ReplyDelete
I also heard Natalie Portman was not hot. So sad about Tina Fey. She's usually so cute!ReplyDelete
totally agree! i loved january jones' hair and makeup, but i'm sorry i was not digging the butt cleavage on her dress in the back. a little bit toooo much i thought. she did look amazing though.ReplyDelete
soooo disappointed in michelle. she's usually my fave! very sad about natalie and her sparkle rose extravaganza . . . but i guess everything is cute with a baby bump!ReplyDelete
@eday, there was butt cleav?! did not see that but ew.ReplyDelete
@kera, you are funny. with 63 kids i think ang has forgotten her nutrients maybe?
Yeah, I totally agree with you on best and worse dressed. I loved Angie! She wore that Emerald gown perfectly! :)ReplyDelete
@elizabeth, i knowww! i caught angie putting the gloss on too and was like "stars ARE just like us!!!" kind of love the way she was leaning on brad the whole night too. maybe i wanted to be their drinking glasses? or chairs? or something?ReplyDelete
Agree with your mentions although Natalie was my favorite of the night.ReplyDelete
Eva and Angie looked amazing! xoReplyDelete
Love the green color of Angelinas dress.ReplyDelete
sorry but i hated january jones' get up. totally trashy ha.ReplyDelete
i like this game.
ahhhhhhhh i would kill for angelina's dress. so so fab.ReplyDelete
For me Michelle was the worst this time... But we all agree that Angie was one of the best :)ReplyDelete
And I didn't like Mandy Moore!
Didn't you love the clip they caught of Angelina fixing Brad's bowtie? I did!ReplyDelete
Definitely LOVED Angelina's dress! It's always so refreshing when she wears something other than black and emerald looks great on her. Also, I really loved Natalie Portman's dress... but maybe it's because she was so cute and smiley and pregnant glowy.ReplyDelete
xx Melina
.but i like it.
i like your pics except halle, she's so hot she doesn't need to try so hard!! and i LOVED mandy moore's blue dress and have rarely seen any pics...she looked just gorgeous :)ReplyDelete

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: not2easy
Most of the site I found are either ad traps or collections of links to ad traps.
Anyone know of some links for some decent free plugins worth downloading?.....Even the pay ones for that matter, if they're good.
The two third-party plug-ins that I'm particularly fond of are Blade-Pro (raised glass, mirror or chrome/metallic effects) and India Ink (Black & White ink pen cross-hatching effect), both from Flaming Pear. Neither are free, but everything I've seen from Flaming Pear is well worth their relatively low prices.
Anyone else?


text: Home Culture Lockerbie Bomber Being Allowed to Die in Libya Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi, who in 1988 killed 270 people in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie Scotland, has terminal prostate cancer and is being allowed to die at home... By: Authors Posted: Aug. 20 2009 9:10 AM 0 From CNN: Convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbeset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi is to be released and allowed to return to Libya on compassionate grounds, Scotland's justice minister said Thursday. Al Megrahi, 57, is suffering from terminal prostate cancer. He was serving a life sentence for bombing Pan Am Flight 103 over the town of Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people. Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill told a news conference in Edinburgh the prisoner was "going home to die" and would be released within an hour of the announcement shortly after 1200 GMT (8 a.m. ET). "Our justice system demands that judgment be imposed but compassion available," MacAskill said. "Our beliefs dictate that justice be served but mercy be shown." The Pan Am flight exploded December 21, 1988, as it flew over Scotland on its way from London to New York. All 259 people aboard the plane died, along with 11 Scots on the ground. Families of the Lockerbie victims have been divided on whether al Megrahi should be ever be released. The United States has made clear to the British government and others that it believes al Megrahi should spend the rest of his time in jail. In a statement released shortly after Thursday's announcement, the White House said it "deeply regrets the decision". "As we have expressed repeatedly to officials of the government of the United Kingdom and to Scottish authorities, we continue to believe that al Megrahi should serve out his sentence in Scotland," it said. Al Megrahi was convicted in 2001 after the prosecution argued he had placed the bomb, hidden in a suitcase, on a flight from Malta to Frankfurt, Germany. There, prosecutors said, the bomb was transferred onto the Pan Am plane that went first to London's Heathrow Airport and then took off for New York. Another man -- Al-Amin Khalifa Fahima -- was also tried in the bombing but was acquitted. The prosecution said that al Megrahi, who worked at Malta's Luqa Airport, was an agent for the Libyan intelligence services and had been seen buying clothes that were in the suitcase that contained the bomb. Libya has formally accepted responsibility for the bombing and has compensated the families, though Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi later denied any culpability. A Scottish court ruled in 2003 that al Megrahi must serve at least 27 years of his sentence before becoming eligible for parole. Al Megrahi first appealed the conviction in 2002 and lost. Um..."compassionate grounds?" Dude killed 270 people and probably wasn't too concerned about compassion when he did it. Having to leave jail in a box doesn't seem entirely unreasonable.

Naming The Twins "Drifters & Dreamers" A Real Gem from Robbie Smith and Kathleen Glauser
Naming The Twins - Robbie Smith & Kathleen Glauser
Shelburne, NS – August 20, 2013 – The new release from Naming The Twins demonstrates a real growth from their 2010 release "Sweet Transitions." That's not surprising since Robbie Smith and Kathleen Glauser only began singing together in 2008. There is a real confidence in their new album that paints pictures with the words and music.
You can tell they spent a lot of time on nailing down the details of this release right down to the classic GMC truck on the cover of the CD. All the words and music are from Robbie Smith except for "Hampden Whaler" and "Tall Ships", by Anne Smith and Robbie Smith and "The Streetsweeper" by Robert S. Smith.
The album was co-produced by Alex Buchanan of HarbourTone Productions and engineered by Buchanan with assistance from Jude Pelley of Alone Stone Productions. Musicians Judy Pelley, Alex Buchanan, Chris Churchill and vocalists Shelly Roli, Nigel, George, Jude and Alex "added their layers of joy to the music." "Tall Ships" captures the depth of talent that helped out with the reording. We're streaming it on our Soundcloud file.
Robbie met Kathleen at a restaurant. He struck up a few musical conversations with Kath and when he heard her sing noticed her natural great sense of harmony and timing. Their first gig was a birthday celebration in the restaurant. A lot of hard work followed and created this gem of album for their second release. It was recently named CD of the Week on The Midnight Special, one of the longest running folk music shows broadcast on broadcast on WFMT, in Chicago.

Friday May 17, 2013
BALTIMORE (AP) -- Everything's a go for Orb.
The Kentucky Derby winner was in a playful mood on Friday, the day before the Preakness, making faces for photographers between nibbles of grass outside his stall at Pimlico Race Course.
Trainer Shug McGaughey says the horse has settled in well and he "couldn't be more pleased."
Orb will face eight rivals in the 1 3-16-mile Preakness to set up a Triple Crown try in the Belmont Stakes in three weeks. Orb is the even-money favorite, and there's a growing feeling that this 3-year-old bay colt may be special enough to give thoroughbred racing its first Triple Crown champion since Affirmed in 1978.

hello luvs!
it is always so nice to hear from our readers, to hear that everyone is learning more about what can cause acne and ways to heal it. we know those post can be a lot of information to take it and we really appreciate you all sticking around for it all!
moving onto to the recipe for today. a recipe that we enjoyed over a week or so ago. and nothing beats having a little cookie cake in the middle of the week to help push to the end right?
especially, a gluten free vegan chocolate chip cookie cake recipe!
and we hope you all love this cookie cake recipe as much as we did, as well as Gary and our family did too!
chocolate chip cookie cake is one thing that we loved eating while growing up. we remember sitting down with our two older sisters and just eating away at the All American chocolate chip cookie cakes over the years. now that white processed flour, sugar, buttery filled cookie cake was good and we did enjoy eating it back then.
but times have changed. food has changed. we have changed. our bodies have changed. therefore the recipe needed to change. and that is what we did. we created our own version of the chocolate chip cookie cake.
we have made many cookie cakes over the years. it was one of the first recipes we made when we opened our bakery four years ago. and it was something we would love to make for our own birthday cake! we actually have a few different variations of this recipe and enjoy them all still.
the great part about making this cookie cake is that if you make it vegan, like we did, you can eat as much cake batter as you like. don't mind if we do.
now for the frosting we did not really know what we wanted to do. we wanted to keep it as simple as possible.
so we mixed some coconut milk, coconut butter and agave nectar together. our 3 ingredient coconut frosting looked promising when we were mixing it.
cannot beat 3 ingredient frosting, right?
but as soon as we started to ice up the cookie cake the frosting started to melt a little. guess the cake was still a little warm to ice up.
but hey we were anxious to eat it.
even though the frosting was not as pretty as we were hoping it still tasted amazing! isn't that what really counts? we think so.
now that is what we call one good looking dessert.
pure2raw recipe: chocolate chip cookie cake (gluten free and vegan)
prep-time: 10 minutes
bake-time: about 20 minutes
makes one 8 or 9 inch circle cake (we did ours in a springform pan so easy to take out)
- 1 3/4 cup gluten free flour blend (or any flour blend of your liking gluten free or not)
- 1/4 cup coconut flour (or could do almond meal or more flour)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 tablespoons flax meal with 6 tablespoons water (makes 2 flax gels, or you can do 2 eggs)
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup (or even honey would be fine)
- 1/4 cup sucanat sugar (or coconut sugar or xylitol)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (or applesauce, yogurt, sweet potato puree)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (we use Enjoy Life chocolate chips)
First make your flax gel before getting other ingredients. Place your 2 tablespoons flax meal into a bowl along with 6 tablespoons water. Let sit for 10 minutes. Pre-heat your oven at 350 degrees.
While the flax gel is in the works grab another bowl to place all your other wet ingredients into, from you agave, coconut oil, and pumpkin puree. Stir till combined.
Next add in your flax gel ( or eggs if you would like) and stir.
And then add in your gluten free flour, coconut flour and baking soda and chocolate chips. Stir till combined.
It is a really thick cookie dough cake batter.
We baked ours in a 8 inch circle pan in a 350 degree oven for 20 mins.
3 ingredient coconut frosting:
- 1-2 tbsp coconut milk
- 3-4 tbsp agave or maple syrup
- about 1/4 warm coconut butter
We did not really measure this out, just scooped out some coconut butter. Warmed it up in the microwave to soften and then mixed in agave and milk to taste and texture. So have fun with it!
good to the very last bite. we promise!
our gluten free vegan chocolate chip cookie cake recipe was a success!
now if you make this, let us know so we can come over and enjoy some more.
Twins Question: Do you like eating your cake or cookie batters while making them? What is your favorite dairy-free frosting to make?
Till next time,
Lori and Michelle

APPROVAL GUIDANCE & INFORMATION: The U.S. Coast Guard does not issue type approvals for EPIRBs. Approvals are issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after the design of the beacon is certified by the Coast Guard. This is because FCC regulations only address the transmitter function of the Emergency Position Radio Indicating Beacons (EPIRBs). The environmental and operational requirements are reviewed by the Coast Guard as explained below. Thus, a manufacturer that wants type approval for a beacon, must adhere to the following process: The beacon must first be submitted to a COSPAS-SARSAT testing laboratory for testing to the required standards. Next, an application must be submitted to the Coast Guard with the test report and information described below. The Coast Guard reviews the design of the beacon to ensure compliance with Appendix A of RTCM Recommended Standard for 406 MHz EPIRBS. When the Coast Guard review is completed, a letter is issued to the manufacturer indicating compliance. The beacon manufacturer may then submit the beacon to the FCC for type approval.
For ease of reference, the Coast Guard maintains a listing of FCC approved EPIRBs on our equipment data base. Coast Guard type approval certificates are not issued.
Type approval requirements ( from 47 CFR 80.1061):
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions in paragraph (b) of this section, 406.0-406.1 MHz EPIRBs must meet all the technical and performance standards contained in the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services document entitled RTCM Paper 77-02/SC110-STD, ``RTCM Recommended Standards for 406 MHz Satellite Emergency Position-Indicating Radiobeacons (EPIRBs),'' Version 2.1, dated June 20, 2002 (RTCM Recommended Standards). The RTCM Recommended Standards can be purchased from the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM), 1611 N. Kent St., Suite 605, Arlington VA 22209, USA. Telephone +1-703-527-2000; Telefax +1-703-351-9932; online orders can be placed at www.rtcm.org
(b) The 406.0-406.1 EPIRB must contain as an integral part a ``homing'' beacon operating only on 121.500 MHz that meets all the requirements described in the RTCM Recommended Standards document described in paragraph (a) of this section. The 121.500 MHz ``homing'' beacon must have a continuous duty cycle that may be interrupted during the transmission of the 406.0-406.1 MHz signal only. Additionally, at least 30 percent of the total power emitted during any transmission cycle must be contained within plus or minus 30 Hz of the carrier frequency.
(c) Prior to submitting a certification application for a 406.0-406.1 MHz radiobeacon, the radiobeacon must be certified by a test facility recognized by one of the COSPAS/SARSAT Partners that the equipment satisfies the design characteristics associated with the measurement methods described in Appendix B of the RTCM Recommended Standards. Additionally, the radiobeacon must be certified by a test facility recognized by the U.S. Coast Guard to certify that the equipment complies with the U.S. Coast Guard environmental and operational requirements associated with the test procedures described in Appendix A of the RTCM Recommended Standards. Information regarding the recognized test facilities may be obtained from Commandant (CG-ENG-4), U.S. Coast Guard, 2703 Martin Luther King Ave Jr. SE, Washington, DC 20593-7509.
(2) After reviewing the information described in paragraph (c)(1) of this section the U.S. Coast Guard will issue a letter stating whether the radiobeacon satisfies all RTCM Recommended Standards.
(d) A certification application for a 406.0-406.1 MHz EPIRB submitted to the FCC must also contain a copy of the U.S. Coast Guard letter that states the radiobeacon satisfies all RTCM Recommended Standards, a copy of the technical test data, and the instruction manual(s).
(e) An identification code, issued by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the United States Program Manager for the 406.0-406.1 MHz COSPAS/SARSAT satellite system, must be programmed in each EPIRB unit to establish a unique identification for each EPIRB station. With each marketable EPIRB unit the manufacturer or grantee must include a postage pre-paid registration card printed with the EPIRB identification code addressed to:
SARSAT Beacon Registration
1315 East West Hwy
Silver Spring, MD 20910
The registration card must request the owner's name, address, telephone number, type of ship, alternate emergency contact and include the following statement:
``WARNING--failure to register this EPIRB with NOAA before installation could result in a monetary forfeiture being issued to the owner.''
(f) To enhance protection of life and property it is mandatory that each 406.0-406.1 MHz EPIRB be registered with NOAA before installation and that information be kept up-to-date. Therefore, in addition to the identification plate or label requirements contained in Sec. 2.925, 2.926 and 2.1003 of this chapter, each 406.0-406.1 MHz EPIRB must be provided on the outside with a clearly discernible permanent plate or label containing the following statement: ``The owner of this 406.0-406.1 MHz EPIRB must register the NOAA identification code contained on this label with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) whose address is: SARSAT Beacon Registration, NOAA, NSOF E/SPO53, 1315 East West Hwy, Silver Spring, MD 20746.'' Vessel owners shall advise NOAA in writing upon change of vessel or EPIRB ownership, transfer of EPIRB to another vessel, or any other change in registration information. NOAA will provide registrants with proof of registration and change of registration postcards.
(g) For 406.0-406.1 MHz EPIRBs whose identification code can be changed after manufacture, the identification code shown on the plate or label must be easily replaceable using commonly available tools.ACCEPTED INDEPENDENT LABORATORY SEARCH ENGINE:
SUBMITTAL PACKAGE: Please submit the follow information in the Submittal Package:
Please send the Submittal Package and other related information to the following address:
Commandant (CG-ENG-4)
U.S. Coast Guard Stop 7509
2703 Martin Luther King Ave Jr SE
Washington, DC 20593-7509
After the equipment has been reviewed by this office, a letter will be issued to the FCC recommending the unit for approval.

World's oldest international conservation organisation celebrates 90 years
By Martin Fowlie, Wed, 20/06/2012 - 09:18
Ideas move the world but only if people act upon them. And that's exactly what happened at midday on June 20 1922, when a remarkable group of people from different countries met in London at the private home of the UK Minister of Finance. United by their passion for birds they concluded that the only effective answer to the growing trade of wild bird feathers or the threats to migratory birds across the continents had to be through co-ordinated international action. This was the birth of the world's first true international conservation organisation, as Professor Kay Curry-Lindahl decades later described the International Council for Bird Preservation (later evolved into BirdLife International). In the decades that followed the world became more populated, industrialised, the problems for nature bigger and more complex, and the need for a co-ordinated response even greater - a vision that the world's leaders attending the Rio+20 Earth Summit should follow. A need that resulted in the creation of BirdLife International in 1993, today the world's largest grass root Partnership for nature with national organisations in 116 countries. United by a common vision BirdLife today is a global Partnership for local action and global impact.

Slightly over-egging it. FFI was actually founded quite a bit earlier, and while strictly speaking it was the Society for the Preservation of the Fauna of the Empire, it was actually just as international as ICBP, founded in 1903. And ICBP was not so much an organisation as a committee, and remained so until the latter part of the 20th century. Sorry to be pedantic.

Violence of the Lambs
The weird genius behind Carly Fiorina's "demon sheep" ad.
Bad political spots simply state a candidate's positions. Good ones evoke emotions that the viewer then associates with the candidate. The best ones take full advantage of the medium. To suggest that California gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides would take the state backward, Davis used backward video to show a diver rising up out of a lake and traffic moving in reverse. He depicted widespread corruption in Chicago by showing hoards of men and women in suits wearing Ron Blagojevich-like wigs. He wouldn't be a bad choice to direct the next Coldplay video.
Then there's "FCINO." Where Davis's best ads are simple and clear, his "demon sheep" spot is confusing and sloppy. It took me two full views to figure out. Why is the voice-over praising Campbell at the beginning? Ah, sarcasm. But why is it good to be a sheep? Aren't they supposed to symbolize herd mentality or something? OK, I see, he loves taxes. Wait, now there are pigs and sheep? Also, how do you pronounce "FCINO"? I know it's like "RINO," but—OH GOD WHAT IS THAT THING? [Frantically shuts laptop.]
Soderlund, the campaign spokeswoman, told me the spot took about a week to make. The shots of the sheep, including the demon sheep, were not filmed for this spot in particular, but came from footage Davis had shot for another project. (Perhaps this one?) Fiorina has been down in the polls ever since Campbell joined the Republican primary, and this Web video—Fiorina's first—was presumably an attempt to capture attention and change the narrative. Well, it certainly has. Before, Fiorina was a former CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Now she's the lady who made the "demon sheep" ad. Voters may learn Fiorina's name because of this ad. But will they vote for her because of it?
To its credit, the campaign gets the joke. "I think it's fine to make fun of it," says Soderlund. But self-awareness is easy to claim after the fact, and the campaign has proven itself to have a tin ear. Its first tagline: "Carlyfornia dreamin!!!" Its initial Web site was similarly bizarre. Soderlund promises more of the same. "If you were shocked by this, you'll be really shocked moving forward."
The unfortunate part is that taking chances should be encouraged. The fact that Davis is an anomaly says more about the dearth of creativity in political media than it does about Davis. Political advertising is a form that needs more risk-takers.
Grade: C+. "Rule number one in advertising: If your message isn't seen, you are wasting your money," Davis told the Washington Post in January. "Be big and bold. Be different." Mission accomplished. But rule No. 2 is also pretty important: Get your candidate elected, not mocked. It's hard to see how this ad burnishes Fiorina's reputation—or her chances in the June primary.

|Governor's Bad Week Includes Horrible Polls, Key Departure
|Commentary/Politics - Illinois Politics
|Written by Rich Miller
|Sunday, 17 February 2013 05:39
"Off topic? I can't imagine what that would be," cracked Governor Pat Quinn last week during a press conference. Just hours before, his lieutenant governor had announced that she would not be his 2014 running mate.
Quinn usually does a pretty good job during his press conferences of convincing reporters to wait to ask off-topic questions until all questions about the subject at hand have been asked. Last week was no exception.
Quinn was holding a presser with U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to discuss her conditional approval allowing Illinois to move forward with an online health-insurance exchange – a major step toward implementing the president's national health-care plan.
"You could get caught by stray bullets," Quinn jokingly warned the folks who had gathered with him to make the announcement. "You don't have to be part of the firing squad," he added with a laugh.
He knew what was coming. Earlier in the morning, the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute had released a poll showing that Quinn was badly trailing Lisa Madigan in a hypothetical primary matchup. By mid-morning, the late Senator Simon's daughter, Sheila, had announced that she wouldn't be running with Quinn again. Simon's aides said she didn't know about the poll from her father's think tank, but the irony wasn't lost on those of us who watch these things.
Sheila Simon was chosen by Quinn after Democratic primary voters made the mistake of nominating a pawn broker with a rather "colorful" past by the name of Scott Lee Cohen. After details of Cohen's alleged assault of a massage-therapist girlfriend emerged, Cohen dropped out of the race.
Quinn didn't pick Simon for her political acumen. She lost a Carbondale mayor's race that pretty much everybody thought was in the bag. Instead, she was chosen mainly for her name. The governor still idolizes Senator Simon, and that name is still held in high esteem among older Democrats.
Sheila Simon, however, seemed to chafe at times under Quinn's leadership. Quinn demanded too much control of her budget. She had to fight for every dime, every hire, every square inch of office space. As with most of her predecessors, Simon found that the office wasn't worth much.
And it doesn't take a political scientist to see that Quinn could very well be doomed next time around. He barely won in 2010, mainly because he convinced voters that his heart was in the right place. But after four years on the job, the public still intensely dislikes him. The Simon Institute's recent poll pegged his job-approval rating at just 32.8 percent. Other polls have shown even worse numbers.
Anyway, back to last week's big announcement by Simon. Usually with these sorts of announcements, some sort of groundwork is done beforehand. A newspaper is given a tip, for instance. Top insiders are told what to expect. That didn't happen this time, though. I'd told my subscribers several days before that Simon was planning to run for another office and that Quinn was rumored to be looking for an African-American running mate, but that didn't come directly from inside. Some top Quinn staffers were completely caught off-guard by last week's announcement, which just fueled the fires.
So the mainstream media wasn't kind, and the poll's timing didn't help matters much. The fact that Quinn didn't appear with Simon at her announcement further underscored the curiosity of the whole thing.
Word from inside is that Simon told Quinn back in December that she had set her sights on comptroller. But she reportedly assumed that Republican incumbent Judy Baar Topinka would be retiring. Not happening.
So, treasurer – which will be an open seat contest if incumbent Republican Dan Rutherford pulls the trigger on a gubernatorial bid – is now on the radar screen, as well as attorney general if incumbent Democrat Lisa Madigan tries to move up to governor.
For Quinn, though, last week was a low point. Three straight polls have now shown him doing poorly against Attorney General Madigan. His 2010 running mate abruptly announces that she's abandoning him without even knowing where she'll land. And he's left to face reporters alone on what should have been a major news day for him.
This was, to say the least, not an auspicious beginning for Quinn's reelection effort.

19th CENTURY ALL LEATHER FIREMAN HELMET
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: -
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Jun 23, 2008
- Channel: Auction House
For auction is what I believe to be a circa 1840 to 1860 all leather Fireman helmet. I do not know the country of origin, but believe it to be European. If anyone has any information to add, Please let me know and I will share it with others. Helmet features all leather construction with original brass chin strap. Most helmets I have found had a brass comb, this one has a heavy leather comb that does not feel hollow? The chin strap is covered with leather, and brass attached to it. All stitching is intact and tight, even inside the helmet. The inside of the neck cover is painted with letters; R.G.L. EAL, I'm sure that is somebody's name. I can find no other marks on helmet. Condition is very fine, showing much hard use. A very good looking helmet that will make a nice display item. Very low reserve.Washington State residents add 8.9% sales tax. Please email me at with any questions before bidding. Five day return policy, in case I have missed something. Money orders ship same day, checks take at least 7 days to clear. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR EXACT SHIPPING COSTS. Please see my other quality swords and militaria. Thanks for looking, and GOOD LUCK!
*****ABSOLUTELY NO PAYPAL WILL BE ACCEPTED****************************PLEASE READ*************************** I have had a number of different opinions as to the country that used this helmet, one said it was American and another said it was Mexican, so I contacted Peter Molloy at the worlds largest Firemans Museum; the Hall of Flame in Phoenix AZ is Peters response; Tom: Thanks for the photos. We have several helmets of this type. They
were commonly used by volunteer fire brigades or by brigades in smaller
towns in Great Britain. They were in use from the 1870s through the 1920s
or so. Thay were leather versions of the brass helmets favored by the
London Fire Brigade and popularized by London FB's famous chief, Massey
Shaw (Captain Shaw of Gilbert & Sullivan musicals).
Sonetimes the crest on the front contains the initials of the fire brigade,
like LFB for London, but from what I can see yours appears to be a standard
fire brigade standard. It could certainly have been used in Ireland.
I don't think that helmets of this style came into use before Shaw came on
the scene in the 1860s. I believe that both Merryweather and Shand Mason
made the helmets.
Best regards, Peter Anyone who has bid on this helmet based on the original information in the listing, may cancel their bid if desired. Thank you,Tom ***** You can visit The Hall of Flame website at *********** The complete website address for Hall of Flame is; /tip/6969 **************


text: Gr 2-5--This book is full of the exceptional-quality photographs and enticing facts that readers have come to expect from Bishop. His endnotes explain how he captured the images using trip wires and bait for many of these nocturnal mammals. In addition to captions, an informative sentence is highlighted in a contrasting color and larger type within explanatory paragraphs that accompany each stunning image. Readers learn that baby koalas eat "pap," a mushy, green baby food that is actually their mother's "poop," that some marsupials don't have pouches, and that all start out the size of a bean or smaller. Details like these are accompanied by tangible analogies that enhance the facts. The center spread opens out into four pages that reveal a dramatic multiple exposure of a sugar glider leaping across an expanse in a sequence that captures its flight. This is a book to wow young audiences.--Janet S. Thompson, Chicago Public Library[Page 95]. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.

Shane was born Shane Smith in 1985. Then for quite a long time, nothing much happened. Then he got used to writing about himself in third person for bios like this.
Shane studied creative writing at the University of Canberra, and often wishes he was still there. His Honours project in Creative Research, entitled Academaesthetics: How The Essay And Comic Can Save Each Other, was published in the October 2007 edition of Text, a refereed academic journal, and is available to read for free.
Shane has been writing for most of his life. This website was created as an attempt to showcase his work, starting with the graphic novel The Game. The first draft of The Game took four years to complete, and will (quite rightly) never be published. His next graphic novel, The Lesser Evil, was accepted for publication by ZetaBella, and is available to purchase in its entirety in both print and digital formats.
Peaceful Tomorrows, the sequel to The Lesser Evil, was published in two parts in 2013, and was a finalist in the 2013 Aurealis Awards in the Best Graphic Novel/Illustrated Book category. A fully redrafted version of The Game, which takes place in between the two books, was published in mid-2014, and was shortlisted for the 2014 Aurealis Award for Best Graphic Novel/Illustrated Book.
Shane is also hard at work upon an anthology of shorter pieces set in the same universe entitled All The King's Men. But Shane is far from a one-trick pony (he hopes), and has recently completed a first prose draft of a fantasy epic entitled Triumviratus, and has recently developed a couple of entirely new concepts, such as Undad, which was shortlisted in the 2015 Australian Shadows Awards.
His life goal has always been to be a writer. Some of his earliest and most precious memories involve creating a book with his dad when he was three. Expect to see updates to the creative endeavours mentioned elsewhere on this website, and general ideas regarding the creative process.
While in his third year of university, Shane met Katie Walsh, and his life was turned upside down forever. They got engaged on Christmas Eve 2007, and married on August 31, 2008. They bought their first house that October.
They are extremely happy. So happy in fact that they have decided to expand their family. Barkley the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel entered their family in December of 2008 (and sadly passed away in November of 2014). The amazing and talented Annie Walsh-Smith was born in February 2010; the happy and energetic Liam Walsh-Smith was born in June 2012; the blonde whirlwind Nella Walsh-Smith arrived on her due date in June 2014; and the tiny Molly Walsh-Smith was born in March 2016.
Becoming a parent was the best thing he ever did… even better than The Lesser Evil.
