VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/26/14 -- Trevali Mining Corporation ("Trevali" or the "Company") (TSX:TV)(OTCQX:TREVF)(LMA:TV)(FRANKFURT:4TI) provides an update on construction activities at its wholly-owned Caribou mine and mill complex (Figure 1) located in the Bathurst Mining Camp of northeastern New Brunswick, Canada.
Following the successful closing of recently announced $52.5-million corporate debt facility for the Caribou mine operations (see NR TV-NR-14-10 for details) the Company has commenced both surface and underground construction and rehabilitation activities to facilitate Mine and Mill commissioning in the first half of 2015. Due to the highly skilled and available workforce, contractors and service providers, the Company is fortunate to be able to source the majority of its required re-start and future production services locally.
Trevali also continues to liaise closely with local Mi'kmaq First Nations ensuring that the Impact Benefits Agreement signed between the two parties continues to benefit the First Nations involved. Through the planned re-launch of the Underground Miner Training Program and the addition of a Surface and Mill Operator Training Program for First Nations students, the Company looks forward to continuing to offer opportunities to the Mi'kmaq of New Brunswick and further strengthening its relationship with the First Nation people of New Brunswick.
A summary of key current activities is provided below:
-- The Main Mine Office annex is fully refurbished and now staffed by Trevali's development team. -- Site communications will be significantly enhanced by a new fibre-optic cable which is scheduled to be commissioned in Q3/Q4 of 2014. -- A warehouse inventory is nearing completion. -- The Mine Dry Facility and Change House, necessary for Underground ("UG") activities, is nearing completion. -- Site power repairs are predominantly complete, power-line underbrush clearing is in progress and the various transformers have been serviced and repaired where necessary. -- Improved site water management requirements have been identified and tendering is in progress.

-- The new 3,000-tonne-per-day Semi-Autogenous-Grinding (SAG) Mill was delivered in late 2013 and the remaining associated componentry during the first quarter of 2014. The SAG Mill tender has been completed and the Company is currently finalizing installation timing (Figure 2). -- Key Mill component spare part purchasing has commenced and is progressing well. -- The Company is currently updating its Mill hygiene policy following which Mill clean-up activities will commence. -- Copper metallurgical testwork optimization is ongoing and detailed Cu- circuit design is in progress. -- Processes water circuit has been repaired and upgraded.

-- All underground equipment and services were pulled to surface and securely warehoused prior to mine shut-down in 2008. -- Alex Macintyre & Associates Ltd. have been awarded the UG development and mining contract following a competitive tender process in which seven qualified UG mining contract companies submitted bids. Trevali has a strong working relationship with Alex Macintyre who developed the Company's Halfmile trial mining operation on time and budget in 2011/12. -- A general inspection of the primary ramp and Level 2 indicates that ground conditions are good and ground support is predominantly intact - minor rehabilitation will be required where water levels seasonally fluctuated. -- Rehabilitation of the surface service raise and secondary egress rehabilitation is in progress, following which larger scale UG activities can commence. -- Ventilation Fan and UG Heating units have been inspected, minor repairs will occur in due course. -- Mine dewatering is progressing well - UG workings are approximately 40 percent dewatered to Level 2 where the main mine dewatering sumps are located. Primary pumps will be installed in the coming weeks following ramp inspection and rehabilitation where required. -- A Paste Backfill Study is advancing, which contingent on positive results has the potential to significantly increase the life-of-mine, in addition to decreasing mine dilution (boosts head-grade) and lower operating costs.
-- Phase 1 staffing is ongoing and the Company currently directly and indirectly employs 57 people from the Bathurst region. During peak construction, commencing in the third quarter of 2014 and ongoing to commissioning in 2015, it is estimated that Trevali New Brunswick will employ approximately 300-320 people and then approximately 250 people during future steady-state production from mid-2015 onwards.

Statements containing forward-looking information express, as at the date of this news release, the Company's plans, estimates, forecasts, projections, expectations, or beliefs as to future events or results and the company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation to, update such statements containing the forward-looking information. Such forward-looking statements and information include, but are not limited to statements as to: the accuracy of estimated mineral reserves and resources, anticipated results of future exploration, and forecast future metal prices, anticipated results of future electrical sales and expectations that environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, political, marketing or other issues will not materially affect estimates of mineral reserves. These statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies.
These statements reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by the company, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements contained in this news release and the company has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: fluctuations in spot and forward markets for silver, zinc, base metals and certain other commodities (such as natural gas, fuel oil and electricity); fluctuations in currency markets (such as the Peruvian sol versus the U.S. dollar); risks related to the technological and operational nature of the Company's business; changes in national and local government, legislation, taxation, controls or regulations and political or economic developments in Canada, the United States, Peru or other countries where the Company may carry on business in the future; risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological or structural formations, pressures, cave-ins and flooding);
risks relating to the credit worthiness or financial condition of suppliers, refiners and other parties with whom the Company does business; inadequate insurance, or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks and hazards; employee relations; relationships with and claims by local communities and indigenous populations; availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and the presence of laws and regulations that may impose restrictions on mining,; diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined; global financial conditions; business opportunities that may be presented to, or pursued by, the Company; the Company's ability to complete and successfully integrate acquisitions and to mitigate other business combination risks; challenges to, or difficulty in maintaining, the Company's title to properties and continued ownership thereof; the actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations, and changes in project parameters to deal with unanticipated economic or other factors; increased competition in the mining industry for properties, equipment, qualified personnel, and their costs. Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty or reliance on forward-looking statements. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, described or intended. The Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking statements or information to reflect changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or information, other than as required by applicable law.
Trevali's production plans at Caribou-Halfmile-Stratmat and Santander are based only on Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources and not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is therefore no certainty that the conclusions of the production plans and Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) will be realized. Additionally where Trevali discusses exploration/expansion potential, any potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
We advise US investors that while the terms "measured resources", "indicated resources" and "inferred resources" are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the US Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize these terms. US investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the material in these categories will ever be converted into reserves.

JBG Continues to Inflict Outsiders on D.C. Architecture
Well, JBG has gone and done it again: Brought in somebody who's never before worked in Washington to design residential buildings on its Atlantic Plumbing sites at 8th and V Street NW. That would be Morris Adjmi, who's accustomed to New York City and California. Despite stepping outside the familiar cast of characters, it's not a terribly wild choice; the firm prides itself on contextual design, and is quite partial to columns (some of their stuff, like Disney's headquarters at Celebration in Florida, is downright imperial). Oh, and good old Eric Colbert will serve as the architect of record, designing the nuts and bolts of Adjmi's grand vision.
Unlike JBG's last experiment with an out-of-towner, this one is just outside the U Street Historic District, so Historic Preservation Review Board members won't have the chance to ponder whether he's just too New York for D.C.
UPDATE, 4:30 p.m. - Apparently it wasn't clear that my indignation over a New York architect coming to Washington was a mildly sarcastic response to those who actually think there are some design ideas that don't belong here. I think it's fantastic to have new people in the mix. Just for the record.

What Is the Future of Avant-Garde Fiction?
Read Tom McCarthy's C and find out.
After the war, Serge returns to the London of "The Waste Land." When he sleeps with a chorus girl, McCarthy fills the scene with echoes of the "young man carbuncular" episode from Eliot's poem. Are there also echoes, in this section's druggy parties, of Dorothy Sayers's interwar mystery novel, Murder Must Advertise? Hard to say, but I wouldn't rule it out; and in any case, guessing wrong is part of the fun of this sort of literary game. Certainly the novel's last section wants us to think of Cavafy and Forster, who spent the war years in Alexandria. (There's even a character named Morgan.)
If all this feels like a kind of code-breaking, that is just what McCarthy intends, since C is a novel obsessed with codes and connections. Like Thomas Pynchon, to whom he is deeply indebted (the title C is an homage to V, and the book's continent-hopping parodies are a more successful version of what Pynchon did in Against the Day), McCarthy believes that the 20th century ushered in a paranoid age, that we are ruled and ensnared by our technology. When Serge's father experiments with primitive radio waves, McCarthy gestures toward the birth of the Internet: One day, he rants, "there'll be a web around the world for them to send their signals down."
This kind of unabashed anachronism marks the difference between C and an ordinary historical novel. McCarthy is not trying to imagine what it felt like to live in the past. Rather, he is reimagining the past as a prologue to our encoded, networked present. Whenever McCarthy gets going on the subject of codes, in fact, the novel shifts into a kind of monomaniacal insistence: "He starts seeing all of London's surfaces and happenings as potentially encrypted: street signage, chalk-marks scrawled on walls, phrases on newspaper vendors' stalls. ..."
This kind of thing has given McCarthy the kind of cutting-edge reputation he wants, as surely as Franzen wants mainstream acclaim. But what really justifies this rather pretentious theoretical obsession is that it gives McCarthy the permission he seems to needto write beautiful descriptive prose like this vision of air combat in World War I: "At one point a howitzer shell appears right beside them, travelling in the same direction—one of their own, surfacing above the smoke-bank like a porpoise swimming alongside a ship, slowly rotating in the air to show its underbelly as it hovers at its peak before beginning its descent." This sort of closely imagined visual detailis what makes C genuinely exciting to read, despite its lack of interest in plot and character. It's enough to make you suspect that what "C" really stands for is not code, connection, cocaine, Carrefax, or any of the other hints the novel dangles, but the oldest of all fictional imperatives: "See."

Until the opening of the next segment, in 2007, Chkalovskaya - Trubnaya, trunk served as a dead end for circulating LDL. However, and after the opening, the NE is often used for parking trains from both LDL and for the Circle line. This staffing coverage during the day is only at the conventions.

"Named for the Romans" Bath by hindu1936
Bath Travel Guide: 955 reviews and 2,171 photos
Bath is 97 miles west of London and 13 miles south-east of Bristol. It was first granted city status by Queen Elizabeth I in 1590. The city was founded in the valley of the River Avon around the only naturally occurring hot springs in the United Kingdom, and is where the Romans built baths and a temple. The Romans named it Aquae Sulis. Edgar who was the first King of England was crowned at Bath Abbey in 973.
Bath became a World Heritage Site in 1987. There are many theaters, shopping centers, museums and galleries that have turned it into the typical tourist attraction where every restaurant, souvenir shop, and hotel charges 5 star prices for 2 star food, lodging and service. More 3.8 million day tourists visit the city each year.
The Royal Crescent in Bath is marked as the best example of Georgian architecture in England and is included in the tour bus route but better seen from the hot air ballon. (book your ride for the morning when the winds take you dead over the city).
There are two great ways to see the city: 1. take a tour bus. 2. go for a ride in a hot air balloon. The tour buses are cheap, the guides knowledgable, and the scenery great. Bath is a city of nearly 2000 years. The Romans first settled here to build forts across the frontier with Wales. Many of the Roman ruins are still visible as are some bridges, monuments and buildings. They were not the first though, so the visitor should be aware of a history much older than the Roman period.
The history of Bath did not begin with the Roman invasion of England. Legend purports that Bath was founded by the eldest son of the Celtic King Lud, Bladud, who was also rumored to be the father of King Lear. When he was a young man, Bladud contracted leprosy, and ran to the wilderness to raise pigs. This provided the towns of Swineford and Swainswick with their names. The plot, or mud thickens. Bladud noticed his pigs coming home covered with mud, but daily gaining in health, so he followed them and found the hot springs. Because his pigs were getting well, Bladud decided to wallow in the mud himself and soon was cured of leprosy. For this great gift he built a temple to the Celtic goddess Sul at the site of the spring and opened the the town to tourists. The vast fortunes he made overcharging the visitors attracted the Romans and they moved in, built a marble temple and bath and charged more money. Today, the city of Bath augments the UK national treasury, funds trips to Mars, feeds all of sub-Sahara Africa, and is planning a cross Atlantic highway funded with the fees they charge to see the baths. One however, does not have to submit to extortion.
There are other things to see. Five hillforts have been found on the nearby hilltops of Lansdown and Solsbury Hill. .
- Pros:wonderful history dating back long before the Romans
- Cons:The fees for nearly everything are astronomical
- In a nutshell:Pay for nothing. Take photos from outside and leave

BORGER - When Phillips Petroleum Co.'s Borger Refinery and NGL Center officials decide to pop a top, they go all out.
Workers on Wednesday were conducting load tests on a 1,100-ton crane in preparation for a turnaround that will lift the 750,000-pound dome off one of the refinery's two fluidized catalytic cracking units, commonly known as cat crackers.
Periodically, various sections or operating units of a refinery are shut down to perform routine maintenance and repairs or equipment replacement that cannot be performed while the unit is operating. The shutdown is called a turnaround.
The cat cracker "cracks" crude oil into a number of hydrocarbon products, including gasoline, Phillips officials said. Cracking is a controlled catalytic reaction occurring at about 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
The catalyst selectively breaks down or cracks heavy oil into usable products. During the process, carbon forms on the catalyst. To recycle the catalyst after it is separated from the hydrocarbons, the carbon is burned off the catalyst in the regenerator, which operates at about 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit.
The heavier, regenerated catalyst falls to the bottom of the regenerator to be recycled. Gas produced by burning the carbon from the catalyst exits the top of the regenerator through the cyclones to other equipment for further processing, officials said.
The gas contains lighter catalyst that is separated using the cyclones to sling the catalyst out of the gas. Many cyclones hang from the top of the regenerator head. The high temperature and the abrasive catalyst wear the cyclones, requiring replacement about every 15 years.
Cyclones are about 35 feet long and weigh about 15,000 pounds apiece. Twenty-four cyclones will be removed and replaced with 20 new, more efficient cyclones.
That's where the big crane comes in, said Karl T. Sosebee, turnaround management team turnaround director.
The heavy-lift method can accomplish a cyclone replacement with about half the unit shutdown time. The entire unit is lifted off in one operation.
And that's a big deal, Sosebee said, because it costs Phillips an estimated $200,000 per day when the cat cracker is shut down.
Previously, cyclone replacement required cutting a big hole in the side of the regenerator and removing and replacing the cyclones one at a time. A complicated system of pulleys, cables and tuggers were required to hang the cyclones after they were cut loose, tipped as they were lowered, and pulled through the hole in the side of the regenerator before they finally were lowered to the ground.
The reverse sequence was used to install the new cyclones. The process required 30 to 35 days.
Sosebee said the turnaround will start Sept. 14 and will last about 18 days.
"We have been planning the turnaround for about two years," Sosebee said.
Sosebee said officials gathered weather data from the past five years in planning the project, breaking wind data down into months and even further into days.
"Mid-September to October was the period with the lightest winds," he said.
That's not a bad idea when a crane is going to pick up and set down 750,000 pounds. The crane is capable of lifting 4.2 million pounds, so there is a built-in safety margin.
In addition, a 400-foot quadrant around the project is restricted to essential personnel only, about 1{ times the boom radius, Sosebee said.
Up to about 600 workers will total about 250,000 man hours during the turnaround, Sosebee said.
The gargantuan crane can be seen from miles away with its 280-foot blue boom jutting skyward. There are 1,000 tons of counterweights that sit on a track, with a stinger that measures 65 feet from the midpoint of the counterweight track to the midpoint of the crane boom track.
A 600-ton quad hook will suspend the dome from cables, lift it off and set the dome down beside the unit.
And just how does one go about moving a 1,100-ton crane?
Thomas E. Haynes Jr., capital projects manager, said 82 tractor- trailer rigs were required to move the pieces into the refinery. The subcontractor has been assembling the crane since July.
"It's definitely on the large end of the scale as far as cranes go," Haynes said.

asctime, _wasctime
Converts a tm time structure to a character string.
char *asctime( const struct tm *timeptr ); wchar_t *_wasctime( const struct tm *timeptr );
- timeptr
- Time/date structure.
Return Value
asctime returns a pointer to the character string result; _wasctime returns a pointer to the wide-character string result. There is no error return value.
The asctime function converts a time stored as a structure to a character string. The timeptr value is usually obtained from a call to gmtime or localtime, which both return a pointer to a tm structure, defined in TIME.H.
|timeptr field
|Hours since midnight (0–23)
|Positive if daylight saving time is in effect; 0 if daylight saving time is not in effect; negative if status of daylight saving time is unknown. The C run-time library assumes the United States' rules for implementing the calculation of Daylight Saving Time (DST).
|Day of month (1–31)
|Minutes after hour (0–59)
|Month (0–11; January = 0)
|Seconds after minute (0–59)
|Day of week (0–6; Sunday = 0)
|Day of year (0–365; January 1 = 0)
|Year (current year minus 1900)
The converted character string is also adjusted according to the local time zone settings. See the time, _ftime, and localtime functions for information on configuring the local time and the _tzset function for details about defining the time zone environment and global variables.
The string result produced by asctime contains exactly 26 characters and has the form
Wed Jan 02 02:03:55 1980\n\0. A 24-hour clock is used. All fields have a constant width. The newline character and the null character occupy the last two positions of the string. asctime uses a single, statically allocated buffer to hold the return string. Each call to this function destroys the result of the previous call.
_wasctime is a wide-character version of asctime. _wasctime and asctime behave identically otherwise.
Generic-Text Routine Mapping:
|TCHAR.H routine
|_UNICODE & _MBCS not defined

This program places the system time in the long integer aclock, translates it into the structure newtime and then converts it to string form for output, using the asctime function.
// crt_asctime.c #include <time.h> #include <stdio.h> struct tm *newtime; time_t aclock; int main( void ) { time( &aclock ); // Get time in seconds newtime = localtime( &aclock ); // Convert time to struct tm form /* Print local time as a string */ printf( "Current date and time: %s", asctime( newtime ) ); }

Season's Greetings!
December 17, 2010
By Brig. Gen. Harry Greene (Senior Commander, Soldier Systems Center, Natick)
Story Highlights
- Our Soldiers have represented us well in the past year
Related Links
As 2010 winds its way to a conclusion, I would like to take a look back at some of the great things that we have done together at Natick Soldier Systems Center in the past year.
We said good-bye to Command Sgt. Maj. Mittie Smith, who retired after many years of service to our nation, Dr. Marilyn Freeman who has gone on to the Pentagon and is telling the story of NSSC in the building and Col. Kevin Keenan who left command of USARIEM to head back to serve in Iraq. We were blessed to have Command Sgt. Maj. Earl Allen take the reins as the Garrison Command Sergeant Major, Ed Ducette and Sue Butler have represented Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center well in their time as acting directors and Col. Gaston Bathalon has taken the helm of USARIEM and the research hasn't skipped a beat.
We are doing things to make our work place better. The NSSC Pride Campaign kicked off and we have the televisions in the cafeteria that were provided by the Civilian Welfare Fund. That committee is working to make sure there are more things to bring the quality of life for our workers to the highest level. If you are interested in being a part of the NSSC Pride Committee, contact Deb Mangano.
We have had some heavy hitters visit our installation and they all left impressed with the work that is done here. Lt. Gen. Dave Valcourt was here for the Army Birthday, Sen. Scott Brown ate Thanksgiving Dinner with our Soldiers, Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch, the IMCOM Commanding General, the Howe Brothers, Assistant Secretary of the Army Katherine Hammack and Army Capabilities Integration Center Director Lt. Gen. Michael Vane all visited Natick this year.
There have been roof repairs to Building 1 and 5 that have been accomplished because of the diligent work of the Garrison Staff. Around the perimeter of the post is a new fitness trail to help maintain the health and wellness of our workers.
We also are looking to the future. With the help of Dr. Mark Gillem, we have designed what we hope will be a better place to work with our Master Plan for the Installation. We have shared it with every dignitary that has visited NSSC and worked hand in hand with the leadership and our neighbors in the Town of Natick to get as much information as possible to make it good for us and the community.
Our Soldiers have represented us well in the past year. They have carried the Colors in parades, ceremonies and even on the grounds of Fenway Park. We are proud of their service to our Nation.
We have had some great things happen this year. The NSRDEC won the Lab of the Year in 2010, the Town of Natick hosted their Veterans Day Dinner on our installation and the general improvement in the look of the installation and work areas due to the hard work of the employees at Natick.
During a time of tragedy, we all came together as a community when the quarters of the Doe family caught fire on July 6. There was an overwhelming amount of support from the Town of Natick, the firefighters who saved the Doe's dogs and treated the remains of their cats with the utmost respect. The Animal Hospital took care of the dogs and nursed them back to health. It showed how our small community cares for its own.
I am very proud to be the Commanding General of the Natick Soldier Systems Center and share the story of what you do here in all my travels.
Have a safe and happy holiday season and I look forward to the great things we will do together in 2011.

I think you need a snap machine, but probably a better question for the sewing boards.... Good luck!

They probably need to be retightened with some snap pliers. If you have those, it's an easy fix, if not, I don't think you should be expected to have to buy them to fix brand new diapers. I say return them.

This is possibly fixable with snap press or pliers. Pliers will be cheaper. Most commercial diaper snaps are size 20, so make sure you have the correct die.
Pliers are $10 at Joann's with a coupon (Babyville line). Kamsnaps are more reliable, however.

Nanomon are in the soil, the water, even the vegetation. Strangely, they are Machine-elements, but this is perhaps because their ancestors came from human information networks. Nanomon, next to Bitmon, are the most populace species on Terminus, providing the basic molecular compounds for the environment to function. Because of this, their numbers are so vast, its pointless to attack a Nanomon Golem; it'll simply reform.
. Weaknesses
Protocol Directive : Acute
Nanomon, when activated to support a Security Protocol, rely on the Protocol for orders. If these orders stop being received, the Golem's objective is terminated and the Nanomon revert to their molecular states.

If you think that in the future you might want to print larger, you should stay with a larger file size. While interpolation algorithms built into image-editing software can be amazing in how they create "new" pixels, they still can't beat the original pixels found in a larger file.
The higher resolution may add more time to the process, from the actual scan to working with the images in the computer. I suggest you do a simple test with a couple of images that you're going to be scanning. Run both workflows and determine if the benefits are noticeable to you.

A) It could be that your friend's drive has a problem or it could be a problem with interchange among media. There's no easy answer. While I use DVDs on a regular basis, the whole issue of compatibility among drives and media can be a little scary.

Archived Story
Back in Hartselle after all these yearsPublished 3:22pm Tuesday, July 16, 2013
Dear Editor,
Sometimes just "passing through" a place can change your life. That's what happened to me when I spent a little time in Hartselle during the summer of 1962 more than fifty years ago.
My brother Clif Knight had just taken a job at the Hartselle Enquirer. I was looking for something to do with my summer before going off to school in Louisville, Kentucky. So he and I struck a deal. I would work with him for a couple of months—filling in for vacationing Enquirer employees—and then be on my way to "bigger and better things" in Yankeeland.
But I hadn't counted on meeting the girl of my dreams during my brief Hartselle stopover. Here is where I met Dorothy Jean Boster while attending a youth event at Hartselle's First Baptist Church. She and I were married a year later, and we have been together ever since. So as it turned out, my summer in Hartselle was a turning point in my life and one of the best things that ever happened to me.
And now, the two of us are back. We have just moved here from Nashville, Tennessee. Some things have changed since we left Hartselle a half-century ago—new businesses along Highway 31, steady population growth, new schools and parks, a major super highway known as I-65, and the transformation of downtown into an antique shopper's paradise.
But some things about Hartselle haven't changed. The people are just as friendly and helpful as they have always been. You can still drive over most of the town in just a few minutes. There's a strong sense of community among Hartsellians that you don't find in many cities these days, even in the South that is known for its pride of place. And yes, Clif Knight is still working at the Hartselle Enquirer, and the train that runs right through the middle of downtown is just as loud as ever!
Dorothy and I are delighted to be back in town after all these years. Here is where we hope to spend the final years of our lives—among family and friends in "The City of Southern Hospitality."

Hi! The crown is made out of wire and beads and the cape is chiffon with interfacing on the inside of the top ^^
I don't mean to be a bother, but I have to ask how you made the skirt. It's so full and long. I haven't been able to find a pattern like it.
Amazing job on the cosplay. The best that I have seen!!!

I feel like I'm losing my mind (and my cool) at home.
Took LO to storytime/a puppet show at the library. ALLLLL the other kiddos (12m to 18m) were staying with their parents/grandparents but MINE was running around. Refusing to stay with me...wanting to run over to the puppet show. (Undrestandable) but He will NOT stay with me. No matter how many times I say it and show him how serious I am - he just kicks and pushes me until I'm forced to put him down and he runs again. I feel like I give him boundaries at home, but doesn't seem like it when we get in public. Is this just their age? How could all the other kids sit in their moms lap and mine not? He couldn't even stand by me. He doesn't understand NO - or maybe he does but doesn't obey. Are yall doing timeouts yet?
Ran to target and got a bubble machine on sale (30% off! yay) hoping this afternoon we could play with it....oh but wait.... needed 4 C batteries and we only had 3 C at home. Rookie mistake I get that but UGH.
At home when I have LO situated its the DOG (2 1/2 yr old lab) making me crazy - grabbing toys to chew. Begging for food when he's eating. Jumping on the couch....bumping into LO and knocking him over and then he's crying. IM SO OVER THIS DOG - trust me I had dogs growing up and love them...but this one is hard to love. He brings out the worst in me. Get angry so quick.
I'm not sleeping well - thinking of trying Zzzquil. Anyone tried that?
Thanks for letting me rant/vent - I want to run away from home.

I would love to have a giant unit of HK-47s
This mod is focused on the Cold War and Second Great Galactic War of the TOR era, I will have fairly regular updates and news, and I am always happy to have some help so don't be afraid to ask.
I would love to have a giant unit of HK-47s
i was just thinking about the HK that tries to kill you in KoTOR II, not this one in particular. an army of those please.
Well you will get to fight HK-47
Well if the mod is gonna stay cannon, it probably wont be. Cause there was only 1 HK-47 and the 51 series was the mass produced one
Jigsaw is right, 51's are buildable, 47 is a minor faction hero you will only see once.
I remember how you had to rebuild him and barely got to use him I'm still mad at somehow the exile was apparently more powerful then revan somehow -_-
