Description: Nelson was a prolific letter-writer, sometimes writing an average of 10 letters every day. Until recently it was believed that most of those letters had been published. However, during his five-year Nelson Letter Project, Colin White uncovered around 1,200 new or unpublished letters. This book presents over five hundred of these, dating from 1777-1805, which together form a narrative of Nelson's life and career in his own vivid words. Of the letters published, both private and official, all are fully annotated. This volume gives new insight into Nelson's handling of intelligence information, his network of professional contacts, his relationship with Emma Hamilton, his concern with his public image, and accounts of battles and diplomatic negotiations. Of particular interest to the Nelson and Napoleon enthusiast alike are: Nelson's detailed orders for the Trafalgar and Nile campaigns, the Battle of Copenhagen and the 1801 anti-invasion campaign. Newly-discovered private correspondence includes letters to the Duke of Clarence (later King William IV), the King and Queen of Naples, Prime Minister Addington, Nelson's brother the Reverend William Nelson, and, perhaps of most interest, his letters to Emma Hamilton, which are often passionate and touchingly romantic. Volume to come out on 14 April. Colin White is one of Britain's leading Nelson scholars and author notably of The Nelson Encylopedia.

Videos added to teach AARs and ROC Drills
November 16, 2012
By Mr. Mike Casey (CAC-Training)
FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. -- The Army Training Network (ATN) has added two new videos to train Soldiers and develop Army leaders.
One video demonstrates how to conduct an After Action Review (AAR), and another shows how to conduct a Rehearsal of Concept drill, or ROC drill.
The videos are available on ATN's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ArmyTrainingNetwork?feature=mhee
An AAR is a guided analysis of an organization's performance, conducted at appropriate times during and at the conclusion of a training event or operation with the objective of improving future performance.
A ROC drill helps leaders and subordinates understand an operation and their responsibilities during the operation. It also helps units synchronize operations and training with time, places and training enablers.
ATN is the web-based one-stop shop for Army training resources and materials. Its web site is: https://atn.army.mil/. Its Facebook page is: https://www.facebook.com/#!/ArmyTrainingNetwowrk and its Twitter handle is: @ArmyTrainingNet.
ATN is maintained by the Training Management Directorate (TMD) at Fort Leavenworth. TMD is part of the Combined Arms Center -- Training, which develops and supports training and leader development throughout the Army. Its web site is: http://usacac.army.mil/cac2/CAC-T/. Its Facebook page is: http://www.facebook.com/usacactraining and Twitter handle is: @usacactraining.

With the return of a healthy Jomar Wright at wide receiver combined with talented sophomore Eron Riley, Duke has a pair of downfield threats to keep defenses honest in the passing game.
Finding a consistent third weapon to catch the ball could really put Duke's passing attack in a position to have one of its better seasons in recent memory.
Duke hasn't had a quarterback throw for more than 2,000 yards since 2002 when Adam Smith threw for 2,031 yards. To find a year where Duke had a passer top the 2,500 yard mark, you would have to go all the way back to 1995 when Spence Fischer racked up 2,668 yards. ...More...

Well i have been requested to start a Vermicomposting thread so hear it is.
I was not sure where to start so i thought i would start at the end and work back (believe me this will make sense).
Here is what you are all after 'BLACK GOLD'. Fresh today!
OHH. Can you see egg shell in there? (not the fine stuff we are now producing, on other threads. Just the remnants of whole egg shells put in the compost.)
Just to the right edge in the middle is a worm egg. They look like little lemons with only one nobble at one end and they do turn darker. The cycle continues!
I have been doing this for about 10 years in different locations. and at the moment have a big bin in the back yard (concrete base) a stacking system in the cold outside garage (recycle green box, that has beem modified) and a small mushroom box bin that i keep in the kitchen. This is more to keep the temp constant and produce more worm eggs. (more worms!) they are self regulating though so do not worry.
I will take photos of all the bins and tell you about the process but until i know where anyone would like to start or if other people are interested then i will just, sit and wait for a question.
Kind regards
Have dozens of Q Edd, but hope your telling of the process/photos will answer them! Can't wait, go for it!
You might get more replies if you post in the right bit. I'm only here because it's a slow work day.
Hi Edd, very interested I currently use an old barrel for compost but it's not very effective as I can't turn it or anything, do you know any ways I could improve it, I have a tiny cottage style garden and don't really want a huge plastic composter.
Edd looking forward to reading your posts as am about to start doing a compost bin or bins this year. The more you can explain the better for all us new gardeners on here to make our own saving a few pounds along the way is always great.
Hi all.
Jim Macd Sorry i did not know i was in the wrong area. I just started a new thread from 'latest posts' I will try and re-post in the right area but i am not sure how to do that? Is it easy? I am quite technology minded( as long as i understand )
so it would be no trouble to put it in the 'correct' area.
Ashleigh 2.
Lack of oxygen to the bin is your problem. I am surprised you have worms in there. If anyone has bad smells with compost then there is a problem. With out side compost bins you need to turn it to allow the bacteria to breath and do its job ( this produces heat and kills any seeds.)
with vermicomposting the worms do the aeration but there is no heat so weed seeds can some times survive. (i will get into this and around this later)
Heat composting (out side) takes about 6-a year. Vermicomposting Takes 2-4 month max! (depending on temp) That is why i can do it inside the house.
I can see the questions now! what about the smell!!!
The answer is simple if it smell like fresh earth (garden centers)then it is good, Either outside or in.
If it smells off (sour) then there is a problem with the good bacteria breathing. and it needs drying out or oxygen.
SwissSue. Where would you like to start.
Outdoor (garden bin) Just like a hot bin?
Or indoor stacking system using tubs (i use the council re-cycle bins, but that is a secret)
Or in door where the the temp is good all year round? You will increase your worm supply by vast amounts this way. You have to remember, though that they are self regulating and will only grow and reproduce to the size of container they have.
A bit like gold fish in a tank, that never grow any bigger.
Thanks for your comment.
It has cost me nothing so far, apart from some use of a electric drill! and a few nails.
That is the way i would like to keep it. and i begrudge using the electric!!!!!!! I try and produce my own, BUT THAT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT TOPIC.
That looks like great stuff Edd
Perhaps you could do it chronologically? Show how you start off - the bin you use and what you've put in it, and then go on to the next stage when it starts to break down , and so on. I think lots of people might be interested in a wormery, especially if they have a small garden and don't have room for conventional compost bins but still want to recycle waste. The more pix you can put on, the better it will be.
I have just been out to photo all my worm grow systems that i have and try to put then in order to let you all know, ABOUT ALL THE DIFFERENT situations.
I am no expert, but then after 10 years i suppose i am??? As i have said i have just taken photos of all my systems in my back yard/garage and inside.
I will just have to start you all off with the basic. Bedding and food mix in boxes.
This takes time ( 2-3 weeks ) just to get the bacteria started. If you can add a few hand full of soil from the compost bin then it will be quicker. Its all down to temp and the reproduction factor and the size of your bin.
When i get there photos back you might under stand. I am not used to this. I did grow for show,but there was no mobile phones then and i have no need for Crack book or Twatter.
We just got a pic in the local paper with my awards from the leek club. with trophy!
How times have changed. Only bought my second hand phone last year, so this is all new to me.
I am catching up though and i like it! (unfortunately) technology is so quick now. I thought they put a stop to that. There are so many people robbed of jobs through automation.!!!!!!!
The photos are here and this is what you need to begin with.
You will all have to combine brown card board/ and you kitchen waste 50/50 and put it outside with a bit of soil/compost ( just a hand full.This is just a great starter to get the bacteria in)
2 weeks in or 1 week out. You will need some basic stuff but that is all.
You will need the mix 50/50 aged, before you start, with the next pics.
Then use the same green boxes, stacked on top.
This is my inside house bin.
Sorry, I am having problems with downloading pic again. Please bear with me.
P.S. no ,no ,no There is no smell and i only keep the net over because i thought there might be fruit flies. Non of this has happened and never been a issue!
P.P.S. Can i take you all back to the top and see the results as this is what i get everyday. It all depends on the temp, and how long,.
Three times as fast as normal hot composting. Sorry can i brag now!
Edd wrote (see)
Hi all. Jim Sorry i did not know i was in the wrong area. … Thanks. Edd
Jim Sorry i did not know i was in the wrong area. …
No need to apologise some people, like me, usually, only ever look at certain topics. It was very quiet at work today and I'd read the posts in Wildlife, plants and fruit and veg, so I was looking around for something else. That's all, I'm sure nobody else minds either.
Sorry i over missed your comment.
I know what you meant and thought i was getting there but you beat me to it. I really do appologise for the missed text.
Yes i will start from the start, but some things have to be explained with knowledge and somethings are just better done in a picture!!!. Would you like to explain my back passage to me! I thought a picture would be best as it is a bit dark and dirty.
Do you really wont to go there???????????? .
Every image is open to question. So please divulge and ask.
Remember, i was beginner with no help, 10 years back and tht seems like last week.
Thanks, For your comment Jim Macd. Where should i be?
I am still not sure where to start. We will just have to see where it goes.
Just so you can see the setup in my back yard ( on concrete )
This has been running constantly for 3 years now and you can see at the bottom where i have just taken the compost out for the first photos. The whole bin was full of autumn leaves collected from the park ( over 30 fertilizer sacks full) to the top of the bin, so you can see how fast the worms work.
The cardboard went on 3 days ago. Only because there is a forecast for snow tomorrow!!!
Did i mention that i am a 'ought for nought man' and will not waste anything or spend unnecessarily if possible.
Always ask for a discount and tell them why you should have one, if not for free.
What is the worst that can happen.
Regards till next time when i will get the photos sorted out.
Thought this might be of interest http://www.norwichadvertiser24.co.uk/news/interactive_these_are_the_slippery_new_customers_helping_a_norwich_hair_salon_to_make_its_eco_friendly_credentials_a_cut_above_the_rest_1_3373663?usurv=completed
Thanks Dove. Looking at the photo. I would hate to tell them that they have got the wrong worms! (They will all do the same job eventually.)
The second photo in the article is correct even is some of the information attached is incorrect.
Here is a pic of eisenia foetida red wiggler, one of the correct ones.
I'm surprised that worms like hair.

With less than a week until doors open, the upcoming Binny's in Evergreen Park is a flurry of activity. Yet more wine, spirits and beer arrive every day, and we have to sort it all, build displays and stock it to shelves. Nobody even has enough time to pose for proper photographs for our website. But somehow they have enough time to make comments like, "Hey jerk! Put down that camera and get to work."
We'll see you next week at Binny's in Evergreen Park when we finally open the doors to the public. And maybe a week or two after that, store manager Jeff Bogdan can finally get some rest. (Pic of a tired Jeff Bogdan after the jump.)

Washington — President Obama says the liberation of Libya from 42 years of Muammar Qadhafi's rule has offered the Libyan people a new chance for freedom, dignity and opportunity, and the international community's actions on their behalf have shown what the nations of the world can achieve "when we stand together as one."
In his September 20 remarks to a high-level meeting at the United Nations in New York, the president said the Libyan people "are writing a new chapter in the life of their nation" after joining together in February and risking their lives through months of peaceful protests and in battle against Qadhafi's forces.
"Make no mistake, credit for the liberation of Libya belongs to the people of Libya," Obama said.
But the president said the international support that quickly mobilized when it appeared that Qadhafi's forces were about to commit mass atrocities against civilians helped to stop the regime and save lives, and gave the Libyan people "the time and the space to prevail."
"Libya is a lesson in what the international community can achieve when we stand together as one," Obama said.
Although the world "cannot and should not intervene" every time there is injustice, there are times when it must act to "prevent the killing of innocents on a horrific scale," the president said.
"This time, we, through the United Nations, found the courage and the collective will to act," he said.
The intervention occurred thanks to cooperation between the Arab League, which appealed for action, the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), who enforced the U.N.-mandated no-fly zone and arms embargo and protected Libyan rebels on the ground, and Libya's Arab neighbors, who joined the coalition as equal partners and cared for the humanitarian needs of its people, he said.
"This is how the international community should work in the 21st century: more nations bearing the responsibility and the costs of meeting global challenges. In fact, this is the very purpose of this United Nations," Obama said. "So every nation represented here today can take pride in the innocent lives that will be saved and in helping Libyans reclaim their country. It was the right thing to do."
The president said the United States will be a friend and partner to the Libyan people as they work to realize peace and prosperity through their newfound freedom. He announced that U.S. Ambassador Gene Cretz is en route to Tripoli and the recently reopened U.S. Embassy.
He urged those who continue to fight for Qadhafi's regime to lay down their arms and join "the new Libya," saying that democracy, trade and investment cannot flourish in the country unless it enjoys security. He also called for "a spirit of reconciliation, and not reprisals and violence" as Libyans seek justice for crimes committed against them during Qadhafi's rule.
"As Libyans rebuild, let those efforts tap the experience of all those with the skills to contribute, including the many Africans in Libya," he said. He urged the country's new leaders to "enshrine the rights and role of women at all levels of society."
The Libyan people deserve a transparent and accountable government, and the country's wealth and resources must be used to serve them, Obama said.
He said Transitional National Council (TNC) President Mustafa Abdel Jalil has reaffirmed the TNC's commitment to democratic principles. Libyans and the international community are all aware of the need for a new constitution that provides for the rule of law, the ability to form political parties, a strong civil society, and a timely transition of power that leads to free and fair elections "for the first time in Libyan history," Obama said.
Obama warned that after more than four decades of Qadhafi's "iron rule," it will take time to build democratic institutions and some may even begin to "wish for the old order and its illusion of stability."
"But if we've learned anything these many months, it is this: Don't underestimate the aspirations and will of the Libyan people," he said.
Obama told the Libyan people that now comes their chance to realize what they have been sacrificing for.
As they do so, the United States and the international community are uniting to "stand with you as you seize this moment of promise, as you reach for the freedom, the dignity and the opportunity that you deserve," he said.
TNC President Jalil said the international response to the Libyan uprising had helped enable Libyans to liberate most of their country and realize the aspirations that they had hoped for when they began their revolution on February 17.
"The road before us is still long and there are many challenges at many levels," Jalil said. He asked for international assistance as Libyans work to build a democratic nation where they can "govern themselves and seek official positions through elections."
Jalil said that as Qadhafi's forces were driven back, stability and security spread over much of the country "in a manner that proves that the Libyan people bore their full responsibility" and have limited their reprisals against Qadhafi's supporters and former officials.
Jalil promised a "just trial" for former regime officials and said the TNC will work in "the spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation."

twin huey gunship
...so, this is kinna far fetched/daydream idea, but what would your huey gunship have on it...keeping with the weight limits and a four man crew(pilot, co pilot, and two gunners(crew chief)...the twin huey gunship has got to be my most favorite helicopter
...mine would have two rocket pods with the 7 round canisters, one .50 cal out one door and one 7.62 minigun out the other...there are all kinds of applications for the huey gunship....wayyy sexay!
1 x 40mm Grenade Launcher (RH Door)
2 x 7.62mm GAU-17 Mini-Guns (RH / LH Door)
1 x CRV7 Rocket Pod (LH Side for C-of-G issues)
that's enough hurt to do the job.
Alot of beer and guns. Lol

Being a service-centric company, we naturally love a great customer service story, and this one from KangaROOS got our attention. One of the brand's loyal fans, Benjamin, wrote a letter to KangaROOS asking for their help with his shoe dilemma.
Below is the letter he sent to the company:
To whom it may concern,
My name is Benjamin, I am an artist huge fan of my KangaROOS! Recently, my girlfriend purchased for me a pair of red "Combat" ROOS which I love to sport every chance I get! They're comfy and stylish with a little touch of retro. :)
Here's where my story gets a bit more interesting. The two of us (her and I) went to music venue for a show about 3 weeks after I received my shoes. At the show we danced and had a great time. After the show we were outside fooling around tickling each other when we slipped and fell. What felt like a sprained ankle turned out to be a completely dislocated foot with bone pushing outward from the ankle. Needless to say, I went to the hospital. After resetting the ankle and taking x-rays of it, I waited for 8 hours to commence surgery on it. Nine screws and 1 metal plate later, I was put back together. When they removed my clothing via cutting it off, I recall explaining to them not to hurt the shoes (funny what you're concerned with in a state of shock). :)
Anyhow, that was about 12 days ago and I just went back to see the surgeon for a check-up. I'm doing great, healing well. They removed the staples from surgery and put me in a hard-cast for the next (?)weeks. When given my choice of color, I went with Red to match my ROOS! (see attached picture)
However, ever since this happened my right-side shoe has been sitting lonely in the corner, so to speak. Since I just got them, they are both in fine shape still. I would like them to match in condition, but since I cannot wear the Right one I am certain the Left one will acquire more wear and tear. Thus, I'll be left with one great looking shoe and one weathered one. The time period could be as much as 12 weeks, plenty of time for building "character" on the one I wear.
This brings me to the inquiry: Is it possible to get ONLY a left shoe from you? I know it may sound strange, but I hope the previous two paragraphs explain this reasoning sufficiently. :) I've included a photograph of the cast/shoe combo so you can see how great they look together and why I would like to arrange this special purchase. It would be quite a sad sight to see one weathered and worn tread left shoe matched with a quite new mint condition right side one, in my book. :)
Please consider my request as a big fan of your product and devoted ROOS customer. I would love to hear back from you soon to find out how we can make this happen. Just let me know the cost, and I will gladly oblige. (providing its not more expensive than just ordering another pair) Thank you for your great products and for hearing out my odd request. :)
The nice folks at KangaROOS are actually sending Benjamin a new pair of Combat sneakers in Red. That way, when he gets out of his cast, he can start over with a brand new pair! Thanks KangaROOS for sharing this great story!

Happy Monday to all of you who are either on a long extended weekend or are just enjoying a quiet work day. I just decided that every monday i will ask a suggestion from all of you of what i should cook on my next Pig Out Day (This could be the name of a dish, a story, a recipe, a picture…etc). The person who hits my craving on the head and gives me some fun inspiration for the dish will obviously be credited when i do the video recipe and post in the following week. So basically i'll just post a question in the title, so that everyone has a certain direction to go on, orelse the suggestions would be endless!
For this week, the theme is:
- PIG OUT DAY: Pie.
PS: i might give prizes to the person who gives me idea/recipe/inspiration for the post! i'll keep you posted on this. I'm just trying to figure out what a good present would be? Any Suggestions?

Fred Perry, fall/winter 2014
18 Aug. 2014
Fred Perry collaborates with Nigel Cabourn
For spring/summer 2015, Fred Perry announces a collaboration with the British casualwear designer Nigel Cabourn. Fred Perry and Nigel Cabourn, who both share the table tennis heritage and the UK manufacturing roots, introduce a menswear capsule collection.
The styles are inspired by those worn by Fred Perry and Victor Barna, the five time World Champion of table tennis. Piqué cotton from the 1950's and 1970's Fred Perry tennis styles has been used across the collection. Also the logo has been inspired by the era's design.
"Fred Perry is a brand that I think runs in some ways parallel to the Nigel Cabourn brand, both truly British brands, inspired by British heritage and wherever possible manufacturing everything in the UK. I think a lot of Fred Perry and Nigel Cabourn fans alike will be pleased we have finally come together on this collaboration," Nigel Cabourn states.

Halloween 2013 Part 3: Questions & Answers
November 6, 2013 in Refashion, Rococo Love, Sewing, Vintage Fashion
Part 1: Construction of Lily's 18th Century Robe a la Francaise Princess Dress
Part 2: The Reveal of Lily's 18th Century Robe a la Francaise Princess Dress!
Part 3: Questions & Answers
Part 4: Question & Answers Part 2
Gosh! Everyone! Thank you so much for all the amazing comments, shares and reblogs. I never, in my wildest dreams, thought this would be so popular!
There have been a few reoccurring questions asked about the costume, so I thought I'd whip up a quick post and answer them.
How long did it take and how on Earth did you manage to do this with a toddler around?
I mentioned in Part 1 that it took around 72 hours to make – 8 days of at least 8 to 9 hours a day. I'm a freelance designer and a SAHM, which allowed me to work on this through the day. I'd start sewing around 7:30am taking breaks periodically to feed/play with Lily, who was playing in the living room right next to me. Then I'd take her to bed around 5:30pm – 6pm (Lily is an early bird and wakes up at 5:30am every morning – so early to bed for her!) and then I continued sewing until around 9pm or until I started making silly mistakes because of being tired.
As for how I managed to do it with a toddler around? For two of the days, Rena, a good friend of ours came over and occupied Lily for the day. On the weekend, my husband kept her distracted, and for the other 4 days, she played in the living room next to me and every time she looked like she was about to get under my feet, I told her I needed to do a fitting which made her scamper back to her toys quick smart…haha! To be honest though — this was the first sewing project I've done recently where Lily actually let me sew without too much drama. She's very much into the "imaginative play" phase right now and can occupy herself for hours at a time. Usually, she's insisting on helping me every step of the way. She must have really wanted this dress.
Her HAIR! OMG, THE HAIR! Is that her real hair?!?!!!
Yes, that is her real hair! Lily's hair falls into natural ringlets and when pulled straight, reaches her posterior. This meant it was juuuust long enough to use rather than getting a wig (which I wondered, how do you keep a wig on a toddler?).
The inspiration for Lily's hair and hair accessories was this image of Marie Antoinette:
I used this tutorial from the American Duchess – but super sized the pouf, because, why not? I also did a back roll along the nape of her neck using this fashion plate as a reference:
These were the tools I used. Not pictured is the gazillionty billion bobby pins I used:
Hair pouf! Lily thought I was the most awesome mom evah for making her this neat squooshy ball to play with. Hah!
I also made some side rolls, but after doing Lily's hair – I decided she looked best without them:
When we were ready to do her hair, I explained to Lily that if she sat still, not only would she get to have make-up done for Halloween, I'd also buy her a cake-pop. A shameless bribe, I know! We sat down in front of the television and put My Little Pony on. This was the end result (and Lily asking me to get out of the way so she could continue to watch MLP). The heart beauty mark was done because Lily loves hearts and didn't want it to be just a circle.
I wanted to powder her hair, but Lily refused to let me. In the end, I think it worked out best that we didn't powder because I love the contrast of the dark brown against the pastels of her ensemble.
As for how well her hair held up? Amazingly well given all the running, head bopping, throwing herself on the ground rolling and one epic jumping castle marathon her hair stayed put! Even I'm still mildly shocked it didn't fall out!
This is Lily enjoying her bribe-earnt cake-pop for letting me do her hair.
And if you click through here, you can see her jumping on the jumping castle at night!
All that work for a 3 year old who'll grow out of it tomorrow? What were you thinking?!?!
Believe it or not, I WAS thinking! Rainbow Lily's measurements ended up being around 1.5″ larger than Real Lily's measurements. Rather than trying to compensate and make everything smaller – I figured if I used Rainbow Lily's measurements, plus a smidgen more, we'd get longer use out of the outfit. Additionally – practically EVERYTHING is adjustable both width and length. I never chopped off the excess fabric on the robe when I hemmed it, I just folded and tucked it under and stitched it down. This means as Lily grows, I can just re-hem the robe and slightly readjust and reposition the ruffles to accommodate for the extra length. As for the petticoat and underskirt? I just need to take the ruffles off and drop it by how ever many inches required, then re-sew. I estimate Lily has at least another 2 years worth of use from the Robe a la Francaise and stay (corset) – and a good 4 years use from the paniers, petticoat and underskirt!
Did you really make it with bed sheets?
I sure did!
Here are some of the same sheets found on eBay — although the prices make my eyes water! I only paid $2.59 each for three of the sheets and $1.29 each for the other two:
The floral bed sheet:
The Ralph Lauren bed sheet:
Thrifted bed sheets are fabulous and have so many different uses. If you feel a little icky about using vintage/thrifted bed sheets or pillow cases, don't! When I find a potentially interesting sheet, I always double check it in the store to ensure it has no scary looking stains and when I get home, I ALWAYS pre-wash them before use in hot water and with a tiny bit of bleach. Even for the colour sheets. That way, they are very nice and clean by the time I'm ready to use them for sewing.
A Note About Gender Stereotypes
A few people expressed their disdain with regard to gender stereotyping and the color pink. I definitely understand the concern, however for me, the amusing thing is we don't perpetrate gender stereotypes in this house with Lily. She's been allowed to play with what ever toys she likes and has an equal number of cars, dinosaurs, ponies and dolls that all get equal play along with a gigantic LEGO/DUPLO table that has seen great use. She's worn what ever clothing she likes regardless of gender and there's nothing she loves more than to jump, climb, dig (roll, if I'd let her) in dirt and all sorts of things. She pretend cooks, but also does pretend home improvements.
On her own accord with no prompting from her father or I, Lily decided she liked princesses and that her favourite colour is pink (and lately, purple). Lily's current love for princesses originate from the vintage fairy tale books that she has – the ones with all sorts of fantastical illustrations and not Disney. Lily is a lover of all things fancy, but also a serious tomboy — she's found the perfect balance for herself, and I'm more than happy to let her climb that tree and dig in dirt while dressed like a princess. Ok ok – maybe not dig in dirt while wearing THIS particular princess dress….at least, not until after Halloween.
Last year, she wanted to be a pirate for Halloween, but was VERY specific about wanting to be a boy pirate with a moustache like her father. This year, she was very specific about wanting to be a princess wearing a pink dress. If she had of asked to be a Giger alien, a transformer or whatever, I would have figured out how to make it happen for her.
Are you a cosplayer? Do you do child pageants?
Nope and nope. I've never cosplayed in my life and we do not (and will not) participate in child pageants. I just enjoy sewing (a huge thank you to my Mom who taught me as a child how to sew!) and have an interest in historical and off beat fashion. I like to challenge myself to at least one epic sewing project a year so my skills don't get too rusty, and Halloween seems to be the best time to do it!
Who took the snazzy non-camera phone photographs?
My husband! You can see his photography gallery here: http://hormozi.smugmug.com/
Can you be my mom? Will you adopt me?
If I lived in a mansion and you all promised to wear nothing but 18th century clothing, I'd adopt you all in a heartbeat. But alas, I live in an itty bitty apartment with no double French doors to accommodate our paniers, so for now, the answer is regrettably: No. I'll let you know if things change, though!
5 Comments
The first two questions were asked by my family…so now they know. lol I can't believe the criticism of the pink issue. I don't think you needed to address that one. Loved your posts on this process!
I love that you ended with the adoption question.
And I thought I was a crazy mom! I have 3 girls and made almost all their Halloween outfits from their first event (less Princess Amadala , didn't wan to go there). Best thing ,they all grew up to love dressing up in goofy outfits and are open ,well rounded ,,silly .people. When I started making Ren, outfits for their American Girl dolls, I had an "Ah ha" moment and reigned it in. So love the fact you are not afraid to use thrifted bed sheets(my favorites) less we also forgert the curtain isle….LOL

TUPELO – Tupelo's Health on a Shelf has gotten noticed by the big leagues.
The program created by the Healthy Tupelo task force in 2011 was highlighted in a research brief put out last month by the National League of Cities Sustainable Cities Institute.
"It's an affirmation," of the partnership between the task force, businesses and the community to foster a healthy culture in Tupelo, said Donna Loden, task force co-chairwoman.
The other healthy corner store programs highlighted in the report hailed from St. Louis, Minneapolis and Philadelphia, Pa.
"Each of these cities is taking action to increase access to healthy and affordable food in their communities," the report said.
Health on a Shelf, which was created with grant money from the BlueCross BlueShield Foundation, helps participating convenience stores bring healthy snacks and drink options together in one place. They get a special guitar-shaped logo and recognition for the stores.
"It's nice for Mississippi to be a part of the national conversation about the healthiest ideas instead of the unhealthiest outcomes," said former Tupelo Mayor Jack Reed, who was part of the program's roll-out.
Current Tupelo Mayor Jason Shelton has continued the effort with programs like the Tupelo FIT events, Loden said.
"He has encouraged the work for a healthier Tupelo," she said.
So far, 10 stores are part of the Health on a Shelf program in Tupelo, and two other cities are working to implement the program.
The task force is still working to refine the Health on a Shelf program so more convenience stores can participate, Loden said.

What Time Should Your Kids Go to Bed? Advice From a Pediatrician
One of the biggest issues most parents face — with complete dread — is bedtime. And whether your kids go to sleep at 6 p.m. or 9 p.m. there is no right time… as long as mom and dad are getting a full night sleep too. So what's the best time for your child to go to bed?
Like everything else in parenting, there isn't a perfect answer to this question, so we asked an expert. Chicago-based pediatrician Dr. Erica Attanasio, DO, is also a mom of two who happens to know a thing or two about sleep, and just how important it is that our kids get a good dose of it every night.
Wetpaint Moms: How should parents go about setting a bedtime for kids?
Dr. Attanasio: I believe that one of the biggest mistakes people make with infants is that they expect their bedtime to be what one would consider appropriate, like 7:00 p.m. At that age, you can expect to get one long stretch of sleep in a 24-hour period [approximately 5–6 hours], so you should consider putting the child down around 11 or 12 "for the night" so the long stretch of sleep benefits you as well. As they get older, most children have an internal clock that suggests bedtime be anywhere from 6 to 9 p.m.
When should parents consider dropping a child's nap if it doesn't happen naturally?
When bedtime starts to become a struggle with more and more procrastinations, it's time to address the nap. Typically, that means making the nap earlier and/or cutting it off after no more than an hour. Kids might be crabby when they wake up but eventually [they will be] okay and bedtime will go smoother. However if you can push them through the afternoon and get them in bed super early [around 6 p.m.], it's better to just skip the nap completely. Kids will most likely get to this point late in their third year or early in their fourth, however some kids do still nap until kindergarten.
What should parents with kids close in age do about bedtime? Do you let one kid stay up and put the other to bed or should they share a bedtime?
If siblings are close enough in age that reading books, which I think is an important bedtime ritual, can be shared, then doing it together is okay. However, as they get older, and different books are appealing, or they are reading out loud as they are learning to read, individual bedtime is important, especially because it is also a great time for good talks with your kids. In the end you have to do what works for your schedule, your family, and your life.
We want to know what you think: What time is bedtime in your house? Does everyone have a different bedtime? Tell us in the comments below!

DETROIT - Many people close to the Farmington Hills Harrison football program will tell you that four-star receiver Mark Dell has been leaning toward Michigan State since the Spartans began to amp up their recruiting efforts in early summer.But leaning one direction and actually committing to a school are two different animals. And Dell himself says it wasn't until three weeks ago that he decided that he was going to be a Spartan. Michigan State, Iowa, and Purdue were Dell's three finalists. Dell eliminated the Boilermakers first, and then the Hawkeyes. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

New Global Warming Report a DisgraceMonday, March 3rd, 2014

Royal Society/National Academy of Sciences propaganda would enrage Newton.
The report "Climate Change: Evidence & Causes," which was released on Thursday by the Royal Society (RS) and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS), does a serious disservice to science and society. Rather than using the conditional language of real science, it engages in what amounts to propaganda, making absolute assertions concerning topics about which we have little knowledge.
For example, the report proclaims, "Continued emissions of these gases [carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases] will cause further climate change, including substantial increases in global average surface temperature and important changes in regional climate." (more…)

- Title
- Simulation of wave breaking in one-dimensional spectral environment
- Author(s)
- Chalikov, Dmitry; Babanin, Alexander V.
- Abstract
- Results of numerical investigations, based on full dynamic equations, are presented for wave breaking in a one-dimensional environment with a wave spectrum. The breaking is defined as a process of irreversible collapse of an individual wave in physical space, and the incipient breaker is a wave that reached a dynamic condition of the limiting stability where the collapse has not started yet but is inevitable. The main attention is paid to documenting the evolution of different wave characteristics before the breaking commences. It is shown that the breaking is a localized process that rapidly develops in space and time. No single characteristic, such as wave steepness, wave height, and asymmetry, can serve as a predictor of the incipient breaking. The process of breaking is intermittent; it happens spontaneously and is individually unpredictable. The evolution of geometric, kinematic, and dynamic characteristics of the breaking wave describes the process of breaking itself rather than indicating an imminent breaking. It is shown that the criterion of breaking, valid for the breaking due to modulation instability in one-dimensional waves trains, is not universal if applied to the conditions of spectral environment. In this context, the development of algorithms for parameterization of breaking for wave prediction models and for direct wave simulations is more important.

"I'm totally qualified, so
I know I'll get the job."
This phrase may be the most naive
statement in the annals of job hunting. First, you aren't likely
to be the only qualified person applying for the job. And second,
hiring managers don't hire the most qualified person: They hire
the person they most want to work with.
Whether this is fair is not up for discussion, because
the philosophical and de facto practices of corporate hiring aren't
going to change any time soon. However, we can discuss that being
qualified is a small factor in the decision.
Too many people have had slews of interviews with
no offers. You need to work at getting interviews, but
you also need to work hard at turning an interview into a job. Here
are five steps to take between landing the interview and going to
it that will help you get an offer.
Research the company.
Don't just go to the Web site and then give up when the "About
the Company" page has too many photos for your modem to handle.
Comb through every section of the company's site and memorize it
as if you were cramming for a test.
Unlike a test, though, you won't have a chance during
the interview to spout the six facts you learned about the company.
Rather, there will likely be a random, fleeting second when a relevant
fact you gained from the site will be the perfect answer to something
the interviewer says. To find the right comment for that fleeting
moment, you'll need wide knowledge and good judgment. The overall
goal is to seem as though you are intimately acquainted with and
monitor the company independently of your desperate need for a job.
Get the right outfit.
Corporate America has a uniform; wear it. People like to hire people
who look like them, and clothing is the easiest way to make this
impression. An interview is not the time to dress to express your
true self. In fact, no one needs to know your true self at the office.
You will fit in and work best with others by keeping eccentricities
to a minimum. Each company has a variation on "the uniform,"
so loiter near the office ahead of time and spy on its workers to
get a sense of the corporate dress code.
Prepare stock answers.
Most interview questions are standard, and surprisingly enough,
have standard answers. Take the question, "Why do you want
to leave your current job?" The correct answer incorporates
phrases like, "I am looking for a company like this one,"
and "Your company offers a unique opportunity that is a perfect
fit for me." Learn these answers before the interview and be
prepared to deliver them with a special flair, so they don't seem
Go to the gym. Taking
charge of the first 15 seconds of an interview is critical. An interviewer
will judge you first and most significantly on nonverbal cues, and
having a great interview outfit alone may not be enough to make
the best impression. Unfortunately, thin, good-looking people are
more likely to get hired than fat, less attractive people. If you
have scheduled the interview already, it's probably too late to
drop 40 pounds. But go to the gym anyway. By using your chest and
back muscles to lift weights, you'll stand up straighter in the
interview -- which shows poise and self-confidence. Also take a
ride on the treadmill. The more energy you expend now, the more
relaxed you'll be at the interview, and being calm will help you
seem more confident.
Prepare to close the deal.
Leave nothing open-ended when you walk out of the interview. This
means saying at the end, "I would really like this job. Do
you have any reservations about hiring me?" This is scary to
say because the interviewer might have reservations you can't overcome.
But closers get the contracts, and you need to be a closer in interviews.
Risk hearing any reservations about hiring you because it's better
to confront them and fail than to never try. You have nothing to
When I tried this, the hiring manager told me her
reservations (which were large). After I countered them one by one,
she was so impressed that she offered me a job on the spot. But
I also had done my homework. I had memorized the company information
and the answers to the 100 most common interview questions, plus
I managed my impression during those first 15 seconds as if my life
depended on it.

In yams case, rossi likes crutchlows edition/version better so I'd say the sat bike is fairly close in specification although I'm sure the edge belongs to the factory still. My main point is that the satellite bikes will never win because of the rider. The kobe Bryant's and Lebron James of motogp if you will (Lorenzo Pedro, Marquez) went straight to the pros from high school (the factories) everyone else is just a player in the game not expected to do much. The best riders are on the factory bikes because they are the most talented. 1 agree 0 disagree

Same with me. The constant whining of "should I kill this person" bla bla is really getting on my nerves. Also all those unnecessary sex scenes are totally a waste of air time. I stopped at around episode 18 or 19, and I still remember it's Pera who recommend this anime to me. O.O
Currently marathoning Lovely Complex. It's so LOL and so FUNNY that I can't help but love this anime. :3

Edgy Exegesis
Partial View Seats: Reflections on Luke 13:10-17
The synagogue leader was not happy with the healing because he was focused on its being done at the wrong time. He sees the healing as a human work. Jesus sees it as an action of God. For Jesus, the law is not more important than human beings. From where Jesus stands, what better way to honor the Sabbath than by setting a captive free? When Jesus heals her, "immediately she stood up straight and began praising God" (Lk. 13:13). She was free from her infirmity and her shame. The synagogue leader then speaks up and tries to drown out her praises to God by chastising the one who has healed her. This is a similar sequence to the anointing at Bethany in the 14th chapter of Mark. He seeks to make her feel shame for having come to the synagogue in her condition in the hopes of being noticed by Jesus. But at the end of this story the woman walks out of the synagogue erect, dignified, and joyful, to the cheers of the crowd (Farley, 265-66).
Jesus' Front Row Seat
Roman Catholic New Testament scholar Wendy Cotter, in her book The Christ of the Miracle Stories: Portrait through Encounter, points out that the way the miracle stories are told puts Jesus in the spotlight. The stories presume an audience eager to observe Jesus' manner of receiving petitioners who are imperfect, poor, rude, rough, and objectionable to polite society. Jesus' healing of strangers shows how he receives people who are on the fringes of society (Mk. 1:40-45, 10:46-52), non elites/working people (Mk. 2:1-12), and foreigners who would ordinarily be deliberately avoided (Lk. 7:5-12). Petitioners are received with the same equanimity, respect, and concern no matter their background or status (Cotter, 255).
Jesus notices the woman and respects her; he deals with her tenderly and lovingly. He summons her out of the isolation into which she has withdrawn, out of a sense of shame. "Woman, you are set free from your ailment..." (Lk. 13:12 ). She stands upright and praises God. The Greek word for "raise up" (anortho) is also used for the rebuilding of a house. Jesus raises people up. He restores them to their original beauty, for they are temples of the Holy Spirit (Grun 41).
For Jesus and for Luke, the best way to celebrate the Sabbath is to raise up men and women to their original form, to delight in the divine dignity and praise God, the creator of human dignity. Luke tells this story in such a way that those who get fully caught up in it will go their way more upright (Grun 41,42).
It turns out that a partial view seat is not such a bargain after all. Not when it obstructs our view of God's desire that all God's children be restored to full dignity and human community, whatever day of the week it is.

Ryzom Ring
Ryzom Ring is something I haven't really talked about a whole lot yet. Admittedly, I have been too worried about getting out of the Rangers Camp to have fun on the Ring. The Ryzom Ring gives players the power to decide what kinds of scenarios they want to play in. I want to be strong enough to go there. Maybe I will try it after I defeat the Chlorogoos.

Dear Abby: I became sexually active at an extremely young age. I know my whole life would be different, as well as my children's lives, had I just known better. I have a 4-year-old daughter, a 7-year-old son and a 12-year-old stepson. I want desperately to protect them from making the same mistakes I did. I feel like the best way to prevent this is to speak openly about sex.

Mad Men script writers want to know about Haussner's
I just finished talking to Brett Johnson, research coordinator for AMC's "Mad Men."
His department called out of the blue wanting to know what uniforms the waitresses at Haussner's wore in the early '60s.
The picture I found in the archives is dated later. It's hard to say when it was taken; the caption says it was published in 1984, but one very much like it without the waitress was taken by the same photographer and published in 1970. ...
If Johnson asked me to send it to him, I was going to tell him to check my blog, but he already had this picture.
I made an executive decision and told him I thought it was safe to go with the white nurse's uniform look for the early '60s as well, but I wasn't around then. If any of you were, and still remember, please post below.
Then I asked him how Haussner's was going to figure in the show. He wouldn't tell me, of course, but he did promise to call me and let me know if the scene makes it into season 3.

Paradise fish care, advice
Just purchased a paradise fish for my newly cycled 10 gallon. As of right now, he is the only fish in the tank. The tank is moderately-to-heavily planted. I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on general paradise fish care--and maybe even some possible tank mate suggestions:lol:. Thx!!
My guy was pretty awesome little fish, I really miss him. He did well with all the fish I had even the aggressive ones. Just make sure he has access to the surface as he is an air breather. Pretty cool with eating everything I gave him flakes and pellets.
mah collection eats like pigs!!!! I do 1 heavy feeding each day and they are always hungry.
though it doesn't help having a koralia 2 and 3 in the tank =P
Keep in mind that paradise fish are not a tropical species so they should be kept at lower temperatures than typical tropical fish. For most people, this means that simply keeping them at room temperature is fine. Because of this (not to mention their fairly aggressive personalities) paradise fish are hard to find tankmates for. In a 10g I think they're probably best as solo specimens.

Maybe it's the ongoing game of musical chairs in Gov. Pat McCrory's communications staff or maybe it's just the man himself, but whatever it is, the Governor's public pronouncements continue to be peppered with admissions and allegations that bespeak a remarkable degree of obliviousness to the facts and the implications of his administration's policies.
Yesterday morning's announcement on raising teacher pay for new teachers featured a classic example. As the Governor began his remarks on his proposal and attempted to lay out the groundwork for it, he made the following rather amazing (and, one has to note, grammatically-challenged) admission:
"Today sadly, the starting teacher pay in North Carolina makes only $30,800. You know, that's not even enough to raise a family or to pay off student loans, which this new generation of teachers are having to borrow money to go to college at this point in time. How do we expect someone to pay back that loan at that starting salary?"
While the Guv deserves an "attaboy" for making such a statement (yes, teachers make too little and government should do something about it!) he deserves nothing but a big "what the heck?!" for the stunning hypocrisy and lack of awareness it shows with respect to so many of his other policies.

Online games for kids - are they safe?
Online games are fun. They are free and easy to access. The games are usually simple and the large variety available makes them appealing to almost everyone.
This makes online games very popular amongst kids. I can see my three children coming from school every day and rushing to the computer looking for new games on the net. They play all kinds of games - sports games, strategy games and their favorite - adventure games.
As a gaming freak, this is a dream come through. Wow, my kids really like games. I can retire now. But as a parent, is it really good for them?
On one hand, online games provide a lot of excitement for kids, develop their curiosity and improve their senses. They are also a way to create communication with people, contemplate, learn history and strategy, and experience interesting tasks and roles.
On the other hand, online games might also have bad influence on kids exposing them to improper content such as violence, sex and foul language.
Some sites also come with built in chat applications, which are usually not moderated. Kids their find themselves chatting with adults which not always have proper intentions.
I searched for sites that provide content for children, high moderation and safe chat, but also great excitement to my children. After all, I don't want them to be bored and bother me while I'm raiding with my guild in World of Warcraft…
One of my children's favorites in Club Penguin - http://www.clubpenguin.com/
It offers a variety of fun penguin avatars, activities, chat and games. Their chat limits what users can say to a predefined menu of greetings, questions and statements, as well as emotes, actions and greeting cards - seems perfectly safe to me. There is also a timer allowing parents to set a limit for the amount of time spent on the computer and Club Penguin. Best of all, there's no third-party advertising. On the downside, many features are not free, and your kids are bound to ask you to upgrade to the monthly subscription.
Another option is Webkinz (http://www.webkinz.com/) with plush pets that comes with a unique Secret Code which allows to enter the Webkinz World where the aim is to care for your virtual pet, answer trivia, earn KinzCash, and play games, offers the same "parents control" and peace of mind as Club Penguin.
And all the idea of growing a pet is very educational. But Webkinz costs money. You cannot enter the world if you don't have the secret code attached to the pet.
An upcoming game to look for is The Travels of Wiglington and Wenks (http://www.wiglingtonandwenks.com/) is scheduled to launch on Christmas 2009. It promises an experience in which players will be able to travel to places around the world, through time and space, meet famous historical people, play dozens of fun enriching games, make new friends, buy exotic islands, build culture-inspired houses, wear clothes from different countries, explore secret locations, solve mysteries and become a legendary traveler.
Protecting children from bad influences on the Internet, The Travels of Wiglington and Wenks Virtual World has developed a set of proprietary safety features such as:
No Numbers, A system that cleverly filters out telephone numbers and addresses to prevent the exchange of sensitive information, No URL Links, URL links are disallowed to prevent the dissemination of inappropriate websites, No Vulgarities, No Private Messaging, etc.
Another very nice site is I Know That (http://www.iknowthat.com/)- it offers a broad collection of educational activities and games.
Each activity is designed to give the experiences and access to content needed to meet standards and benchmarks in that subject. Charts, graphs and progress report emails give the parents a quick, easy ways to review the child's achievements.
Hope it helps.
Love to hear your comments.

Hi ladies! I just left my 1st appt with my high risk ob/gyn after receiving the results of our MaterniT21 test. After a weekend of grieving, we began focusing on the positive (an early dx, a happy toddler who wil be blessed by this baby, etc) We did begin to pray for girl because my husband lost his father at a young age & has always dreamed of his son & their relationship. We both agreed we didn't want DH to get his son "this way" (as I'm writing the words it sounds harsh, but we are still processing & dealing in our own way) Anyway, we already have a girl & began thinking this whole dx would be 'easier' with another girl. So back to my appointment today. They had the results of the M21 test in front of them so I thought is ask about the sex. It's a boy!! I began to giggle! God sure knows what he's doing. Nothing about this pregnancy has been what we planned or hoped for but I am so relieved that my reaction was to laugh, not cry. I have finally given everything over & am realizing I am merely along for the ride. I have do idea what raising a son looks like. I have no idea what raising a child with DS looks like. But I know I'm in it, I'm joyful & I'm just discovering my son as he continues to introduce himself to me :)
Finally laughing & giggling

16mo is still nursing and absolutely refuses not to.
I love my baby girl, but she constantly whines and cries when I get home till she goes to bed. She either wants me to hold her or she wants to grab her Ninny (boob). I have an 8yo and a husband that would like some attention too. Should I let her cry and follow me throughout the house? How do I break her of this "only mommy will do" stuff. I know I spoiled her but this has to end.

Throughout the Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway and Finland, beyond the arctic
circle to 71º N. and particularly around the shorelines of the Baltic Sea, stones
and boulders were used to mark out the walls of the labyrinth. Over 500 examples
are recorded. Stone labyrinths are also known from Iceland, Arctic Russia and Estonia;
all of these outlying groups have probably originated from Nordic settlers or trading
contacts. The surviving early 18th century Troytown from the Scilly Islands, SW England
is the only example south of latitude 55º N and quite unique. In recent years a number
of historic examples have been restored and modern replicas are also popular in parks
and educational settings.

Zach Parise of the Minnesota Wild will be the captain of the U.S. men's hockey team at the Sochi Olympics.
Minnesota defenseman Ryan Suter and center Dustin Brown of the Los Angeles Kings will be the alternate captains, U.S. general manager David Poile announced Friday.
The 29-year-old Parise was an alternate captain at the Vancouver Olympics four years ago, scoring the goal that sent the gold-medal game into overtime. He has experience on U.S. national teams going back to 2002, and he welcomed the chance to take a leadership role in his second Olympics.
"It's a special thing to be named captain of any team, but when it's a national team, an Olympic team, it's extra special," Parise said. "We've got a lot of players who are great leaders. I'm going to get a lot of help. I'm going to need a lot of help. It's very humbling (see full story)."

Sabres: Moulson sidelined
Matt Moulson's Olympic break came early.
According to Sabres coach Ted Nolan (via ProHockeyTalk), Moulson will be out of the lineup until after the break.
Moulson was injured in the third period of Thursday's win over the Coyotes and did not return. He's in the final year of a three-year contract, and could be an interesting piece at the trade deadline. Moulson's agent, Wade Arnott, is "not overly concerned" about the injury negatively affecting his trade value.
This season, Moulson has 15 goals and 18 assists in 51 games. He does most of his damage on the power play where he has picked up eight of his 15 goals -- 10th in the league.
He started the season with the Islanders before being traded -- along with two draft picks -- to Buffalo for Thomas Vanek. He has 24 points in 40 games since joining the Sabres.

Oilers: Mark Fraser acquired from Toronto
The Oilers buffed up their defense Friday.
Edmonton acquired defenseman Mark Fraser from the Maple Leafs for prospects Cam Abney and Teemu Hartikainen.
Fraser has struggled this season, with just one assist in 19 games.
In 45 games with the Leafs last season, the 6-foot-4, 220-pound defenseman had eight helpers and was plus-18.
The Oilers are hoping a fresh start might benefit Fraser and provide depth on their blue line.
