Falcon Cam
|The falcons have been spotted again this year in the nesting area at the library. It appears to be the same pair (Nona and Squawker) that has nested here for the last eleven years. This is the 13th year in a row that a pair of peregrine falcons have nested at the Library. There is an Evanston Peregrine Falcon Watch group for posting and sharing news and observations of the Evanston Peregrine Falcons.

Latest falcon news! Wrigley flew (fledged) on Sunday. Falcon watcher Deborah picked Wrigley up behind the Women's Club of Evanston and released Wrigley on the roof of the east annex of the Carlson building. If you're in the area, watch for a possible sighting either on the wall or on one of the roofs surrounded by Church St, Chicago Avenue, Davis and Orrington Streets.
Also on Sunday, Tory was sighted flying down to a window box where Wrigley had perched. She's getting ready too!
Update — 6/04/2014
And the two falcon chicks are....female! Today, after being scooped from the nest by Mary Hennen from the Field Museum, the chicks were brought inside for banding, blood draws, measurement, and a viewing for the crowd of approximately 130 falcon fans. Josh Engel, from the Field Museum, assisted Mary. The falcons now have names, at least according to us humans. The names are Wrigley, in honor of Wrigley Field's 100th anniversary and Tory, in honor of Roger Tory Peterson, a naturalist who wrote many books about birds including the well-known Peterson Field Guides.
Next step for the birds: getting ready to learn to fly.

Falcons at the Library
Peregrine Falcons nested on the Library for the first time in the summer of 2004. That year there were four eggs, but shortly after the eggs hatched the female broke her wing leaving the male to raise the chicks on his own. Only one chick successfully fledged, the other three succumbed to malnourishment and disease. The female with the broken wing received veterinary treatment and now appears in nature education programs.
In 2005 the same male returned to the Library with a new mate and three chicks fledged successfully. In the fall of 2005 the male broke his wing; despite treatment the wing did not heal and he had to be euthanized. 2005 marked the debut of the FalconCam.
The Evanston Review had an article about the falcons: "Falcon family thrills a rapt library crowd" (Evanston Review, June 30, 2005)
2006 was another good year. Four eggs were laid in mid April, three chicks hatched in mid May and all three fledged successfully between June 27 and 29. For a short while they were seen around Evanston, but they soon dispersed, and their current whereabouts are unknown.
On Monday June 12, 2006 staff and volunteers from the Field Museum banded and took blood samples from the chicks, and they posed for a photograph. One of the three chicks is female and two are male. They were named:
In 2007, there were four chicks, three males and one female.
The birds were named:
In 2008, there was one male and three females [Correction: Mistress Hussey turned out to be male, so there were actually 2 males and 2 females. He was presumed female at the time of banding because there was some doubt as to gender, and Mary Hennen of the Field Museum always errs on the side of female to prevent any chance of a still growing leg becoming constricted by the smaller male band.] The chosen names were:
In 2009, The Library peregrine falcons were banded, sampled and named on May 27. Their names are:
In 2010, The Library peregrine falcons were banded, sampled and named on May 26. Their names are:
The names of the four 2011 eyases (EYE-ah-sez) are:

Can anyone recommend a route from Heathrow Airport in London to Epping Upland? I'll be moving to epping in July and I'd like to get from the airport to my new home using my touring bike.
I've never been to the UK before but I do quite a lot of cycling, figuring it'll be about a 40 mile trip, no sweat, but I'd prefer quiet roads, bike lanes, cycle paths, want to stay away from big smelly cars, especially while I'm learning to ride on the left side of the road.
PS: anything I should worry about as far as getting to and out of Heathrow with my bike? You guys are pretty bikey over there, right? I'm not crazy, am I?

The EPA this week has announced its long-awaited proposed rule for regulating fly ash. The electrical utility plant byproduct used in concrete production has become a vital element in the concrete industry's argument that is a sustainable building material.
The agency has developed two possible options. Under the first proposal, EPA would list these residuals as special wastes subject to regulation under subtitle C of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). When destined for disposal in landfills or surface impoundments. Under the second proposal, EPA would regulate coal ash under subtitle D of RCRA, the section for non-hazardous wastes.
"The time has come for common-sense national protections to ensure the safe disposal of coal ash," said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "We're proposing strong steps to address the serious risk of groundwater contamination and threats to drinking water and we're also putting in place stronger safeguards against structural failures of coal ash impoundments. The health and the environment of all communities must be protected."

Jessica Sanchez feat. Ne-Yo – Tonight – MP3 Listen
As the first live voting show of American Idol premieres tonight, its only right that last year's runner-up Jessica Sanchez premiered her debut single tonight.
I was afraid at first, but it isn't bad at all! Sanchez brings it, its good that it is a duet with Ne-Yo tonight confine her to an mainstream audience that she wasn't quite grasped yet. I'm not saying the song is awesome, because it still a little pop fodder but the disco groove it rides makes it a little different. I'm hoping pop radio will play this, and going by the songs that have been released so far this year – I don't see why they can't give Jessica a shot.

A new design remodels existing buildings the distinctive Soho Conservation Area in London
SODA has won planning consent for the substantial renovation and rooftop extension of three adjacent buildings on a key corner site in Soho, central London. Designed for client Metrus (on behalf of Benesco Charity ltd.) the project is located at the junction of Frith Street and Bateman Street and includes a spectacular sculptural roof pavilion with a folded, Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) roof. SODA's design remodels and upgrades the existing buildings while retaining and enhancing the distinctive character of the Soho Conservation Area context. The three buildings had gradually expanded and merged over the years, resulting in a rabbit warren of inefficiently connected rooms. A new structural and servicing strategy rationalises circulation with the addition of a new core and the reconfiguration of two internal lightwells. This creates larger, more efficient floorplates for four fl

SADOWA (or KONIGGRATZ), the decisive battle of the Austro-Prussian or Seven Weeks' War. The war, which began 18 June 1866, was essentially a German civil war, despite the alliance of Italy with Prussia. It had been precipitated by Prussia's president of council, Otto von Bismarck, in order to exclude Austria from Germany and to permit Prussian dominance within a unified German state. Most German governments sided with Vienna. The decisive clash came on the morning of 3 July 1866 in Bohemia, between the villages of Sadowa and Königgrätz. The Battle of Sadowa, which involved some 220,000 men on each side, was the largest armed encounter before the great battles of the twentieth century and resulted in a resounding Austrian defeat.
Although Prussia's victory was widely attributed to superior weaponry (the needle-gun, cannons with rifled barrels) and use of such new instruments as the railroads and the telegraph, in reality the Austrians were deficient in leadership, both political and military, in strategic planning, and in tactical flexibility. While Prussia's chief of staff, General Helmuth von Moltke, daringly divided his forces into three armies, the Austrians moved into Bohemia in a concentrated mass. Early encounters ( Gitschin) resulted in demoralizing Austrian losses. Under pressure from Vienna, the Austrian commander, Marshal Ludwig von Benedek, launched an all-out attack on the center Prussian army near Sadowa. Although he had followed the Napoleonic maxim of seizing the inner lines (which may have been outdated by this time), Benedek had failed to take advantage in Napoleonic fashion of the separation of Prussian forces during early skirmishes. The unusually large number of troops under single command made the Austrian army virtually unmaneuverable and hence an easy target for encirclement by the Prussians, whose three-pronged advance was coordinated by Moltke in a daring and ultimately successful strategy. The battle, at first fiercely contested, was decided by the arrival on the field of the army of Prussian Crown Prince Frederick William about 12:30 P.M. Soon the Austrian retreat became a rout. The Prussian armies had lost about two thousand dead, seven thousand wounded; the Austrian six thousand dead, seventeen thousand wounded, and twenty thousand prisoners. The way to Vienna was open.
Sadowa changed the situation of France in Europe. Napoleon III had foreseen

Brad Warren, VP Aircraft Maintenance
"We chose Intelex because we needed a solution that helped ensure effortless compliance with all regulatory and safety requirements, but was configurable and flexible enough to adapt to our business processes, rather than having to change the way we operate.

Your favorite Golden Globe-winning wacky detectives of NYC's 99th precinct are back!
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" will return to Fox for its second season this fall, but you won't need to wait that long for a preview of the antics to come.
Looks like we'll pick up right where Jake (Andy Samberg) and Charles (Joe Lo Truglio) left off, with Jake under cover in some aggressively '80s-esque garb—as Samberg says, "hairstyles have been adjusted." Meanwhile, Charles is balancing the after-effects of his illicit one-night-stand with Gina (Chelsea Peretti), which involves the entire squad, to hilarious effect. "I can't wait – they're gonna get caught, aren't they?" exclaims Melissa Fumero aka adorable-yet-majorly-OCD Detective Amy Santiago.
But what about Jake and Amy? Sadly, there's no mention of what's going on between those two in the clip. Guess we'll have to wait till the season starts.
The answer to this, and many more of your burning questions, to come when the show premieres September 28th!

Reid sustained an ankle injury in last week's defeat at Notts County and was replaced early in the second half by Niall Canavan.
Canavan will return to the starting line-up alongside David Mirfin in central defence if Reid fails to make it.
Fellow defender Eddie Nolan took a knock to the back at County, but is also expected to start, while Christian Ribeiro could return to the squad following a hamstring injury.
Boss Brian Laws must decide whether to continue with teenager Anthony Forde, who made his debut in midfield last week following his arrival on loan from Wolves while striker Akpo Sodje shook off a foot problem to start and is likely to resume his partnership up front with Karl Hawley.
The Iron, who have lost their last three league games and five of their previous six, are aiming to climb out of the relegation zone with victory.

CARBONDALE, Ill. -- Saluki women's basketball head coach Cindy Stein has announced SIU's non-conference schedule for the 2014-15 season.
Following a home exhibition game against Quincy on Nov. 7, Southern will hit the road to open the regular season at Tennessee-Martin on Nov. 14 and at Wright State on Nov. 22. Both schools are coming off of first-round appearances in the NCAA Tournament in 2014. The Skyhawks tallied 24 wins last year en route to the Ohio Valley title, and the Raiders notched 25 wins and a conference trophy of their own in the Horizon League.
The Salukis then come home to SIU Arena for a four-game home-stand. First, SIU will host Memphis on Nov. 26 -- the first meeting between the two schools since Nov. 23, 1998. After Thanksgiving, regional foe Southeast Missouri State will make the short trek from Cape Girardeau for a 6:05 p.m. tilt on Nov. 28. Two days later on Nov. 30, the Mercer Bears will make their second-ever trip to Carbondale -- the first since SIU won 62-59 on Dec. 20, 2002.
Rounding out the home stretch will be a visit from the University of Illinois on Dec. 6 at 2:05 p.m. For the Illini, this is the first trip to Carbondale since Dec. 9, 1995. The subsequent three meetings (1996, 2007, 2013) have all taken place in Champaign.
Southern will then travel to Austin Peay on Dec. 13 before returning home on Dec. 16 for its final home non-conference matchup against Murray State.
After finals, the Salukis will make a trip to The Big Easy for the New Orleans Shootout on Dec. 19-20. SIU will square off with Oregon State on Dec. 19 and Toledo on Dec. 20. The Beavers are coming off a 23-11 season in 2013-14 in which they advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament and finished with a final RPI of 34.
Just before the new year and the start of the conference season, Southern will wrap up its non-conference schedule at Morehead State on Dec. 30.

The Symphony's free Program Note Podcast Series highlights a great work being performed each week by the orchestra. Hosted by KDFC's Rik Malone, the podcasts feature music from Symphony concerts and recordings, and commentary based on our award-winning program notes by James Keller and Michael Steinberg. You can hear them on the way to the concert, on your smart phone or computer. Listen here, and subscribe to get future episodes automatically.
Leonard Bernstein's On the Town has been a hit since it opened in 1944—a funny, lyrical, exuberant affirmation of life in the midst of wartime.
Schumann's reputation as a composer of symphonies has suffered over the years, and the failure of his Symphony No. 4 at its first performances didn't help. Even his revisions have been criticized. But he may simply have been ahead of his time.
The plot of Prokofiev's opera "The Love for Three Oranges" may be almost incomprehensible, but the symphonic suite is anything but: whimsical and dramatic, with one of the most famous marches ever written.
As World War II was winding down, the Soviet Union was waiting for Shostakovich's 9th Symphony, and they expected a great victory symphony, like Beethoven's 9th. What they got was something very different.
Beethoven spoke of setting out upon a fresh path with his Second Symphony, and even included veiled musical jokes, which shocked the sensibilities of many critics. Produced between the widely popular First and the revolutionary Eroica, Symphony No. 2 forged new territory with development of theme and architecture, and would eventually take its place among Beethoven's great works.
Gustav Mahler's The Song of the Earth may end with a funeral march, but it's really a symphony about the triumph of life and love.
By the time he wrote his Symphony No. 2, Robert Schumann had already completed his Symphony No. 1; his Overture, Scherzo, and Finale; and the first version of the work that would eventually be published as Symphony No. 4. However, by summer 1844, Schumann began to be ruled by his mood swings and phobias (blindness, heights, death, and poison, among others), effectively halting his creative activity. But then, midway through 1845, he wrote a letter to Felix Mendelssohn about dreams of trumpets in C blaring in his head. Finally, in December 1845, he wrote, in three weeks, the essentials of Symphony No. 2, and after completing the orchestration, the symphony was premiered in November, 1846.
Among musicians, the viola may be the least respected member of the orchestra, but Berlioz' Harold in Italy gives it a chance to shine—despite having been rejected by the virtuoso for whom it was written.
Mozart's final symphony was nicknamed the "Jupiter," and—like the planet and the Roman god that share its name—it still stands out as one of the greatest of its kind.
Serge Diaghilev was turned down by four composers before turning to Igor Stravinsky to write the music for a new production by the Ballet Russe. Luckily, Stravinsky, eager to try his hand at a ballet, had already been working on the music for a month, and their artistic relationship went on to produce Petrushka and The Rite of Spring.
Bruckner's Third Symphony was his gift to "the master," Richard Wagner, and it's full of tributes and allusions to Wagner's works. But those tributes were buried under revisions and revisions of revisions, and only now can we hear what Bruckner originally presented to his idol.
Sergei Prokofiev wrote his ballet "Cinderella" as a simple love story that could be beautifully danced. Of course, the Soviet government had its own interpretation.
In the space of nine weeks in summer 1788, Mozart produced the last three of his symphonies, including Symphony No. 39. Started within a month after his opera Don Giovanni opened to a less than enthusiastic audience in Vienna, the symphony opens with a reflection on the opera's overture.
Bernard Herrmann's score to Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller Vertigo swirls and spins like the main character's condition, while it pulls you into the heart of his obsession.
On an extended journey through Italy in 1830 and 1831, Felix Mendelssohn began work on his Fourth Symphony. A wildly talented composer who wrote his famous Octet when he was only sixteen, Mendelssohn was prompted to finish the work when the London Philharmonic Society requested a symphony from him (and offered payment of a hundred guineas). Mendelssohn called it the jolliest music he had ever composed. Although he remained dissatisfied with the symphony and planned numerous revisions, the Italian Symphony still stands as one of his most easily recognizable works.
Carl Maria von Weber was no ugly duckling as a composer, but Paul Hindemith's "Symphonic Metamorphosis" turns four of Weber's themes into symphonic swans.
Despite his family's financial turmoil, the year 1806 was extraordinarily productive for Beethoven. He wrote many of his great works, including the Razumovsky string quartets, Piano Concerto No. 4, and Symphonies No. 4 and 5. Symphony No. 4 - a return to the grace and relative simplicity of his earlier style - is perhaps Beethoven's least frequently performed symphony. A passage in the middle of the second movement was called "one of the most imaginative passages anywhere in Beethoven" by musicologist Donald Francis Tovey.
Much like his fifth and sixth symphonies, Ludwig van Beethoven composed his seventh and eighth symphonies in quick succession. Compared with Symphony No. 7 and Symphony No. 9 (which would not be completed for twelve more years), Symphony No. 8 seems like a look back to Classical times, with nods to Beethoven's teacher, Josef Haydn. However, the Eighth is more a study in compactness: there is just as much music packed into fewer notes, a sentiment that Beethoven himself echoed--when asked why the Seventh was so much more popular, he responded, "…because the Eighth is so much better."
In June 1891, Antonín Dvořák was invited to direct the newly-formed National Conservatory in New York City. Leaving four of their six children behind in Bohemia, Dvořák and his wife made their new home on East 17th Street in cacophonous Manhattan, just a few blocks from the new school. Through his diverse student body and the advent of the polyrhythmic ragtime, Dvořák first encountered African American and Native American music. He was particularly taken with those cultures' spirituals. He borrowed musical elements from diverse popular sources for many of his compositions, including his Symphony No. 9, From the New World.
By the summer of 1809, Napoleon's French forces, at war with Austria for the fourth time in eighteen years, reached the suburbs of Vienna. "Nothing but drums, cannons, human misery of every sort!" wrote Beethoven to his publisher in Leipzig. But by year's end, he had completed his Piano Concerto No. 5, Emperor, a magnificent affirmation made in terrible times.
However you like your Messiah - big or intimate, modern or period, authentic or interpreted - when you listen you become part of an almost 300-year tradition of what may be classical music's most beloved masterpiece.
Schumann's Symphony No. 1—"born in a fiery hour"—is as personal, original, and fresh as the season that gave it its nickname: Spring.
Schumann's Symphony No. 3, Rhenish, completed in 1850 after his much celebrated appointment as Municipal Music Director in Düsseldorf, reflects his optimism in the face of new challenges. Filled with spirited, glorious themes, Rhenish marks the high point in the life of a composer who struggled with mental illness.

Nara Park, Nara: 30 reviews and 56 photos
Picture shows one of the two Lords guarding at the entrance to Todaiji Temple. The two lords are very huge made from stones holding their own weapons to protect the temple.
From the picture you can see a hungry deer trying to eat up my map! Perhaps the map looks like biscuits for the deer which are almost the same colour and flat, as those biscuits sold for feeding the deers.
Lotsa deer droppings on the floor too!

A Novel
By William B. McCloskey Jr.
Skyhorse Publishing, 2013
Hardcover, 400 pp., $24.95
You'll get a taste of "Warriors," the prequel to William B. McCloskey's previous novels "Highliners," "Brokers" and "Raiders" in our January issue. The "Warriors" excerpt that begins on page 26 focuses on fishing in the early days of Alaska's king crab fishery. But the novel is about much more than that.
The "Highliners" trilogy focuses on the story of Hank Crawford's journey from green cannery hand to respected fishing captain in Alaska, a tale that spans from the early 1960s to the mid-1980s. Three important characters who appear in the three novels return as the main characters in "Warriors."
Crawford's future mentor, Marine Sgt. Jones Henry, Japanese officer Kiyoshi Tsurifune, and anti-German Resistance fighter Swede Scorden struggle to return to a normal life after World War II. Each man is wrestling with all they've endured during the war and want nothing more than to return to the fishing life.
For Jones, that means returning to Ketchikan, Alaska, to fish for salmon and king crab. Swede, too, settles in Ketchikan where he throws himself into work at a cannery, eventually becoming an executive. Kiyoshi returns to his family, trying to deal with the lost honor of his country's defeat, eventually helping his local fishermen get back on the water and becoming a seafood buyer. The three men's paths cross throughout the book, as Kiyoshi eventually becomes an ambassador for the Japanese trade.
But the fishing world is changing. Engines are replacing the sails on fishing boats that Jones and other fishermen have relied upon for years. A new union calls a strike during the height of salmon season. And an impending deal to allow the Japanese to fish Alaska waters angers many Alaska fishermen for whom memories of the war against Japan are all too fresh.
Each character's perspective on the war is enlightening. The passages about life in post-war Japan are compelling. So are those in which Jones wrestles with his war experiences; Jones just wants to fish and be left alone, and not have to think about what he saw in the war.
Against the backdrop of the changes in their lives and Alaska's fishing industry, each man must find a way to make peace with what they've experienced and with the changes coming to the burgeoning Alaska fisheries. All in all "Warriors" proves to be a worthy addition to the "Highliner" novels.

For better or worse, when I think of Thanksgiving, I think of food. Football, too, but food popped into my mind first. Food, football, and the inevitable couch nap that follows.
Right now, though, I'm not thinking about turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, sweet potato, squash and turnip and pies. Well, apparently I am a little bit. But I'm thinking about seafood, too.
I'm thinking about lobster and haddock and blue crabs and spiny lobster and red snapper, and oysters, Dungeness crab, salmon, and king crab and so much more. More specifically, I'm thinking about the folks who go out and catch it all. That means I'm thinking about you.
I'm thinking about how you brave the elements every day to bring back a delicious and nutritious source of protein, and how you and your family have been doing it for generations. I'm thinking of folks like Maryland watermen Guy Spurry and his 19-year-old son Austin, who are featured in the video below. They go oystering every day, even though it's becoming harder and harder for them to do so. But they do it because — just like you — they love what they do.
Fishermen love being out on the water so much that they're willing to endure ever-mounting piles of government regulations, tackle the challenges poised by environmental groups, recreational fishing organizations, fluctuating market conditions and the whims of Mother Nature. That's pretty remarkable.
Suffice to say I'm thankful for the work you do, year in and year out. You may think that because you work on the water, out of sight of folks on land that no one notices all that you do.
But you're wrong. We do. Here's wishing our nation's fishermen a Happy Thanksgiving.

As the late Andy Williams sang in his holiday classic tune, it's the most wonderful time of the year. That's because Pacific Marine Expo gets underway in Seattle this week.
Commercial mariners from Alaska to California gather at the CenturyLink Field Event Center each year to check out the latest in equipment, propulsion, builders, suppliers and new products as well as a host of timely and informative seminars. But that's not all; there's also a full slate of special offerings to enjoy — including the Author's Corner & Book Store, located at booth 631.
The Author's Corner & Bookstore, presented by Pro Star Publications, offers seating and a special section for book signings, discussions and more. That's former NF Highliner Clem Tillion chatting with author Vaughn Sherman about "Sea Travels" in the Author's Corner at Pacific Marine Expo last year. To check out this year's schedule of authors who will be on hand each day, click here.
You'll also find a pretty impressive selection of marine-related books. And that, my friends, is music to my ears.
Plop me in a bookstore and I will happily while away the hours in search of a good book. This time of year, I'm beginning the hunt for Christmas gifts for my fellow booklovers. However, that won't preclude me from picking up a little something for myself while I'm at it.
I've enjoyed success on both fronts at the Author's Corner & Book Store. You, too, can stock up on reading material for yourself and maybe snap up a present or two, all without ever having to leave the event center. Score!
And as long as you're in gift-shopping mode, you know a subscription to your favorite commercial fishing magazine will look good under the tree, too. Stop by booth 614, say hi to the NF editorial team and take advantage of our special show subscription offer. Get a year of National Fisherman for the most-excellent price of $10! Whether you get a subscription for a friend or yourself (or both), you can't lose.
See? It really is the most wonderful time of the year.

One of the neat things about Pacific Marine Expo in Seattle is the Author's Corner and Bookstore, where you can get your mitts on a wide range of books about fishing. Plus there's seating and a special section for book signings, discussions and more.
It's easy to see why Dean Adam's book "Four Thousand Hooks" was featured at Pacific Marine Expo last year. Want to find out what's on tap in the Author's Corner this year? Just click here and scroll down for the 2013 show's lineup.

Farmed salmon advocates say the aquaculture industry is making strides toward offering a more sustainable and ecofriendly product. But an Atlantic Salmon Federation news release announcing that farmed fish have escaped from Bay of Fundy sea cages suggests there's still room for improvement.

In recent years, Louisiana fishermen have had more than their fair share of obstacles to overcome. They've endured crippling hurricanes, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, rising fuel prices and a flood of foreign shrimp imports that depressed dock prices and thinned profit margins.

The Southeast Alaska Fishermen's Alliance recently announced that the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation has awarded the organization a Hollings Grant to reduce whale entanglements in Alaska salmon fisheries by increasing the use of acoustic whale pingers to minimize entanglements in fishing gear.
Last week, Alaska senators Lisa Murkowski (R), Dan Sullivan (R) and Rep. Don Young (R) asked Secretary of State John Kerry to negotiate with Canadian leaders to make sure appropriate environmental safeguards are in place for mine development in Southeast Alaska.
The congressional delegation explained the importance of this issue to Alaskans and the need for assurances that the water quality in transboundary waters between Alaska and Canada will be maintained.Read more...

Sewing: A Tutu's Construction
You know, I thought I was crazy when I bid on a wedding dress two years ago and I wasn't even engaged and marriage was not on my horizon. But because the dress was a simple silhouette and was made with a linen and silk eyelet, I justified my purchase by claiming it could be worn outside the confines of a wedding – "I could dip-dye it or make it into a skirt!" My character really came into question, not only by myself but by others, when a year after I won my first wedding dress, I bid on another. And there was no justifying this purchase. Poofy and featuring a giant bow on the skirt, the "sweeping taffeta ball gown" was ridiculous, a costume really, and there was absolutely no way it could be worn as everyday wear or even evening wear. I brushed off the laughs and questions I received for months afterwards with, "Well, if I have a Britney Spears moment and need to get married immediately, I'll be ready with not only one dress but two!" Until a couple of weeks ago, I was still muddled as to why I purchased the gowns and was saving up for the next opportunity to get another. Then it hit me – wedding dresses are the epitome of sewing. Just like a Porsche, they represent the highest level of craftsmanship and require both hand work and work done by machines. The amount of hours it takes to make a single wedding dress far exceeds double digits. Wedding attire aren't the only garments I have an intense hankering towards. Tutus also top my list of coveted clothing because, just like the wedding dress, their construction is incredible. "My mother started out sewing me very simple tutus. When you are in…Read More >>>

Discouraging, depressing, outrageous - take your pick. The fact that bickering forces in New London could not work out their differences for something as wholesome as a parade is not a good sign.
Unless something changes, the group that for the last few years organized the increasingly popular "Irish Parade" on St. Patrick's Day will be taking their parade out of town, potentially to Niantic. Meanwhile, the Finizio administration announced the formation of a new group to organize a parade to replace it. Next up, we suspect, will be a fight over parade participants.
Petty politics certainly played a role in this. City Councilor Marie Friess-McSparran, president of the New London Irish Parade Inc. (will it be changing its name?) and Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio, though both Democrats, have a fractious relationship. Ms. Friess-McSparran backed another candidate in the 2011 mayoral election and has seldom supported the mayor since. The mayor is convinced that she contrived the controversy about the parade to try to embarrass him.
Frankly, we don't know. What we do know is adults should be able to compromise about holding a parade, even if they don't like each other.
As for the details, the administration's proposal to accommodate the Irish Parade appears reasonable. By executive order, the mayor is requiring organizers of all such public events to pay upfront the cost of police and public works support. The mayor said the city will issue a permit if the nonprofit group agrees to pay $7,500. That would cover the cost of the shorter route through downtown the parade used until this year. The new longer route would raise the cost another $4,000.
Since the parade is a City Council sanctioned event, the committee contends the city should be willing to issue a permit for the longer route at the lower cost. Given the fiscal constraints facing New London, insisting on the longer route and having the city assume the extra cost does not seem reasonable.
Downtown New London Association Executive Director Barbara Neff, who does a great job organizing the SailFest event every July, will head a new parade committee along with event coordinator Sean Murray. They plan to hold the parade Sunday, March 17. We wish the organizers well.
Our preference, however, would have been for everyone to iron out their differences and work together. Who knows, maybe they still can.

Your 10-month-old: Week 2
How your baby's growing
At this age, your baby can sit confidently and may even walk while holding onto furniture, possibly letting go momentarily and standing without support. She'll take steps when held in a walking position and may attempt to scoop up a toy while she's standing, too.
Those magical first steps toward independence — and lots more exercise for you! — are just around the corner, if they haven't arrived already. Most babies take their first steps sometime around 12 months, but some start much earlier. If yours isn't walking yet, don't worry — it's still early. Some babies wait until they're 18 months old to make that move.
- Learn more fascinating facts about your 10-month-old's development.
Your life: Family traditions and celebrations
When you were growing up, what did your family do at Christmas, Hanukkah, or other holidays? How did you celebrate birthdays? Did family meals begin with a prayer, or did you do something special in the summers? Starting a family often makes couples think about the rituals they grew up with, and how they can create their own. Even if your baby doesn't completely understand or appreciate them yet, repeating those rituals will contribute to a feeling of security, togetherness, and family pride.
Don't feel like you have to choose among the rituals you and your partner's families observed when you were growing up, especially if you'd have to choose one family's cherished tradition over the other's. Building rituals can be more meaningful if you come up with original ideas or personalize existing ones. Try thinking about activities your family enjoys and create rituals related to them.
Rituals can be small and frequent, like reading a book at bedtime or taking the dog for a walk after dinner. Or they can revolve around holidays and special events.
Be careful when it comes to holidays, though — your baby may become overstimulated and anxious with all the decorations and activity, so make sure you build in ample time for her to take a break and relax.
3 questions about: Insect bites and stings
What should I do if my baby is stung?
Most stings are annoying but not life-threatening, unless your baby turns out to be allergic to the venom in the bug. Follow these steps:
- Remove the stinger by scraping, not pulling.
- Wash the area with soap and water.
- Relieve pain with an ice pack for 15 minutes, or try calamine lotion or a paste you can make from baking soda and water. Ask your baby's doctor before giving your baby pain-relieving medications.
- Call the doctor if your baby gets diarrhea or a fever, vomits, or if swelling increases after 24 hours. You should also call the doctor if the area around the bite shows signs of having become infected, such as increasing redness, pain, or swelling.
How can I tell if my baby has an allergic reaction?
Anaphylactic shock as the result of a sting is fairly rare, occurring only if your baby is allergic. Of course, you can't really know this until a sting occurs, which is why it's a risk to be aware of.
If your baby is allergic, she may have trouble breathing or may start wheezing.
She may vomit, have abdominal cramps or a flushed face, appear dizzy, or develop a rash or swelling (look at her tongue, hands, and face). Your baby may also be in shock if she seems confused or sleepy.
If your baby has an allergic reaction, call 911, have her lie down, calm her, and cover her with a blanket.
How can I prevent bites or stings?
You can't eradicate all bugs that bite and sting, and you don't want to keep your baby indoors all the time. But you can use a baby-safe insect repellent and dress her in long sleeves and pants that are white or light-colored — which is less attractive to bugs and also makes it easier to spot ticks and insects — when she's going to be outside (don't forget socks). Be careful when eating outdoors, especially in areas with a lot of bugs, and avoid scented products like creams and soaps.

Eternel Group
Antoinette has been selling fruit, 'akassa' (made from cornstarch) and local drinks from her home for a long time. She stocks up at a market in Benin. This is the second time that Antoinette and the other members of the ETERNEL group have requested a loan from ALIDé in order to strengthen their working capital, strengthen their businesses and better respond to their customer demand. Their first loan was repaid correctly.
Additional Information
About AlidéAlidé is a Beninese NGO that works to reduce poverty by offering sustainable access to productive loans like this one in addition to savings, training sessions, and social work to low-income families.
Supporters of this loan should be aware that there is some risk of being repaid late. Because the Beninois Ministry of Finance has imposed restrictions on the amount of money Alidé can send to Kiva, the organization can only send monthly repayments in installments smaller than $13,000. This means that some Kiva lenders may receive their repayments late. However, Alidé remains a healthy institution in good standing with its creditors, and Kiva would like to continue working to support its clients. For more information, please refer to Alidé's partner profile page.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

New Resource for Pediatric-Related Disaster and Emergency Health Information
The National Library of Medicine Disaster Information Management Research Center (DIMRC) has announced a new resource directed at the needs of children in disasters and emergencies, which present unique planning challenges for health officials, responders, and providers.

French court places ex-President Sarkozy under formal probe -prosecutor
PARIS, (Reuters) – Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy was placed under formal investigation yesterday, the prosecutor's office said, on suspicions he tried to use his influence to thwart an investigation of his 2007 election campaign.
It is the latest blow to Sarkozy's hopes of a comeback after his 2012 election defeat by Socialist rival Francois Hollande. The conservative politician denies all wrongdoing in a string of investigations in which he is either directly or indirectly implicated.
Sarkozy is being investigated on suspicion he used his influence to secure leaked details of an inquiry into alleged irregularities in his victorious 2007 election campaign. He is accused of influence peddling, corruption and benefiting from "the breach of professional secrets," the prosecutor's office said.
He was informed of the investigation during the early hours of Wednesday by investigating magistrates after he had been held until nearly midnight on Tuesday in police custody.
A few hours earlier, Sarkozy's attorney and a judge involved in the case were similarly placed under formal investigation on suspicion of influence peddling, their attorneys said.

Hmmm is it possible and safe to walk to any shops or malls from Downtown disney?
I think the premium outlets mall is quite close but I dont remember seeing people walk anywhere last time we were out there
Hmmm is it possible and safe to walk to any shops or malls from Downtown disney?
I think the premium outlets mall is quite close but I dont remember seeing people walk anywhere last time we were out there
In theory you could walk to the Premium Outlet Mall from DTD but I certainly wouldn`t advise you to do it.
Apart from it being quite a long journey [especially if you are laden with your shopping], you would have to negotiate the very busy roads in the vacinity.
If you won`t have a car then I would suggest taking a cab from DTD as it shouldn`t cost the Earth.
There are tragic stories of visitors being struck (and unfortunately killed) by cars when trying to cross extremely busy intersections in the greater Orlando area.
The entire area really is not set up for pedestrian traffic.
You could walk (on sidewalks, which makes it safe) from DTD to Crossroad's, but that's not a shopping mall. There are some fast food places there, and a TGI Friday's I believe. A grocery is there too, but it's ridiculously, stupid expensive and the quality of the food is horrible. Disney prices are cheaper!
You'll want a car of your own, or you'll want to take a cab.
yep, as someone who doesnt have a car when I'm out there, the above advice is, sadly, spot on.
We've walked to Crossroads from DTD and even that was a bit far for me but yeah, a nice enough stroll. However get to the end, and there's a fairly busy road to cross there. It's definitely doable though.
However, elsewhere, it's just bizarrely impossible. Coming from the UK where pretty much everything is setup for walkers to cross, it's weird how dangerous the Orlando roads are for pedestrians.
We often get a cab to the borders/bestbuy opposite the florida mall, have a look around and then TRY to cross to the florida mall. There's even a pedestrian crossing but even WITH that, the cars come from all directions even with the lights on red (largely because of the right turn on red rule).
All in all, walking anywhere in Orlando is troublesome
A cab from DTD won't cost much although as ever, more than it feels like it should cost

Mayor Haddix slammed for pushing south PTC bowling alley
A proposal to remove a zoning restriction for a bowling alley in south Peachtree City has led to criticism of Peachtree City Mayor Don Haddix, who has been shepherding the project for several months.
Some critics are accusing Haddix of luring the bowling center to a site where it would violate the city's current zoning laws instead of trying a more suitable site elsewhere.
Haddix said the City Council can vote to change the zoning if it wishes.
"There is no such thing as a permanent zoning, unless it's set up in a very legalistic manner that locks it in where nobody can touch it," Haddix said Monday afternoon. "No zoning is untouchable."
The current proposal would put the Oasis Bowling Center at Ga. Highway 74 South and Rockaway Road, near the AutoZone store. The matter is expected to be discussed by the city's Planning Commission June 14 meeting after being postponed from the May meeting.
The restriction that forbade a bowling alley, among other uses for the site, was adopted along with a host of other use restrictions when the property was rezoned from industrial to commercial in September 2007.
Lifting the restriction for a bowling alley will require a majority vote of the City Council.
As to public safety concerns, the police department has researched the police response to Oasis Bowling Center's other locations in the metro area and found no record of problems, Haddix said. The company uses off-duty police officers for security, the mayor added.
Haddix has also heard complaints about the bowling center having a bar. With the city's alcohol sales regulations, more than half of the bar's sales will have to be in food, making alcohol the third-highest source of revenue behind bowling and food, Haddix said.
Haddix said the proposed brick and stone architecture for the building will be a welcome addition to the area. Also, the proposed signage for the site will be minimal, he added.
The request to change the zoning restrictions will first be reviewed by the Planning Commission before it is taken up for a vote by the City Council. The commission was originally slated to hear the request May 9, but it was postponed to the June 14 meeting.

'City Navigator NT street maps come preloaded as well as close to 6 million POIs (points of interest), 10 savable routes, choice of 2-D or 3-D maps, and, the digital elevation maps display shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving a bigger picture of the surrounding terrain.'
'an integral part of any GPS navigators performance is adequate in the Nuvi 1450, with Points of Interest (POI) available along your chosen route, 2-D or 3-D map views depending on preference and custom POI upload all assisting to make traveling simpler.'
'A lifetime Suna traffic messaging subscription is included and this allows the 1450T to display traffic incidents, like planned roadworks, special events, jams and accidents, either via a coloured overlay on a black-and-white version of the normal map, as an easily digestible list or as a series of possible delays on your route. '
'The nuvi 1450T is surprisingly thin considering the 5in display, and the compact window mount means it's easy to clip on and off the windshield (this is particularly handy if you use your GPS in more than one vehicle).'
'One of our major issues with the RoadMate 1470 is with its windshield mount cradle and the way it fails to play nice with the vehicle charger.'
'The included 12v vehicle power adapter is unusually large, considering it doesn't contain a built-in traffic receiver.'
'new vehicle navigation models'
'The interface is intuitive and no longer burdened with the excess steps that previously dogged their units.'
'Navigation instructions
Street name announcement.'
'the FM transmitter is so underpowered that it's almost useless.'
'powerful advanced audio amplifier'
'Its rechargeable lithium-ion battery makes it convenient for navigation by car or foot.'
