Natural Dyeing
This site hopes to be a wealth of information relating to all things to do with Natural Dyeing. We have information on how to grow your own dye plants, and there are also pages on individual plants that tell you a bit about each dye plant including how to dye with it, how to grow it or find it locally, and a bit about the plant itself. There is also some more general information about mordants and fixatives to ensure the color in your dyed yarn, fibre or textile lasts for more than just the first few washes. We have a page that gives a color chart of what plants produce which colors so if it is a particular color you are after have a look over there. We hope you enjoy your time here with us and hope you will visit often as more content is being added regularly.
Natural Dyeing
As suggested by the name, natural dyeing is the process of producing dyes made from naturally occurring ingredients found in our environment and then using them to impart color to yarn, fabric and other textiles. Plant stock such as, leaves, roots, bark, berries and nuts or fungi and lichens are all good sources of natural dyes, as are minerals and even some insects such as cochineal.
History shows us that for thousands of years people have been making their own natural dyes to color yarn, fleece, clothing and household textiles, from ingredients sourced from their local environment, and essentially the process of natural dyeing is still the same today. Carpet weavers throughout Turkey still use natural dyes to color the wool spun into yarn and handwoven into the brilliantly patterned carpets that can be seen all over the world. There is something almost magical about natural dyeing with organic ingredients sourced from the environment. The colors just seem to blend effortlessly when you are using them together in a project and everything just 'looks right'.
How you can source natural dyeing materials
Natural dyeing starts with being able to find or purchase the materials to make your own dye bath and some of those may be closer than you think. If you have a backyard with a garden you may even have some at your fingertips right now! Hibiscus flowers, purple basil, and logwood will all produce red to purple dyes. Lichen, turmeric, and pomegranate will give you yellows through to oranges and with other common garden plants you can achieve a large range of colors. Vegetable gardens can be a wealth of color for natural dyeing. Raspberries, beetroot, carrots, strawberries, fennel and onions to name a few, are all sources of natural dyes.
If you are lucky enough to live close by a forest or woodland area you can hunt for your natural organic dye sources to dye your fibre, yarn or fabric. Many fungi produce rich color for natural dyeing with Phaeolus Schweinitzii, commonly known as the Dyers Polypore, being one of the most popular and perhaps easiest found. It produces a variety of yellow through to gold colored dye baths. Another fungi to begin your natural dyeing journey is the Hapalopilus Nidulans or Tender Nesting Polypore. A tan and cream fungi that can be found growing around the base of conifers or on hardwoods in Spring through to Fall. Despite it's rather pale appearance, this fungi produces red and violets in an alkali dye bath.
Aside from fungi you can also find oak galls which produce shades of grey and black, acorns and dandelion whose roots will give a lovely brown dye. Other wild herbs and weeds worth watching out for are ivy, St John's wort and even humble grasses. If you are a city dweller and find it difficult to just wander through the woods or forest fossicking for fungi and berries it may be easier to buy a range of different dyes online that have already been extracted from natural ingredients. A little dye goes a long way and you don't have to go through the extraction process which can be time consuming and sometimes difficult, depending on your raw materials.
If you are a knitter, crocheter, spinner or weaver you will no doubt have already come across some lovely hand dyed yarn or roving and are excited to try some natural dyeing for yourself. Experiment by playing with various plants and dye products, choosing different mordants and yarns or fabrics to create your own beautiful textiles. Enjoy!
Check out our other pages for 'how to' ideas on extracting your dye, growing your own organic dye plants, getting the results you want and what colors you can expect from various plants.

Delta responds to Malaysia Airlines tragedy
(WXYZ) - Thursday's plane tragedy is hitting home for Delta Airlines.
Its primary codeshare partner KLM is the codeshare of the doomed flight.
The flight's origin is Amsterdam, one of Delta's most popular European routes from Metro Airport.
With multiple flights departing for what is undoubtedly a devastated city, passengers were shaky tonight.
"I am scared as it is," said one woman waiting to board one of the flights.
Meanwhile, Delta, which uses Detroit as a hub, is on alert.
Releasing a statement which says:
"Out of an abundance of caution, Delta is not routing flights through Ukrainian airspace and is monitoring the situation involving Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. Delta does not operate any service that flies over the region of Ukraine that was the subject of an FAA security advisory."
That advisory in April prohibited U.S. flight operations over the contested Crimean region of Ukraine and additional portions adjacent to the Black Sea.
An FAA spokesperson confirmed that the warning was still in effect today.
Late Thursday, all US airlines agreed to avoid the Russia Ukraine border on overseas flights.

Brief Bruin Overview .
This year's theme of "Winning Hand In Hand" builds on the foundation of excellence which is second to none. The UCLA women's volleyball program is joining hands in a quest to bring home its seventh national title. The 1998 Bruins combine nine newcomers, including the second ranked recruiting class in the nation, with nine returners, including a pair of redshirts from last year. This year's squad is extremely young with six sophomores, one junior and only two seniors. Three freshman received the starting nod in the season opener at Hawaii and six have already made significant contributions. Captains for the season are senior Chaska Potter and sophomore Elisabeth Bachman.
Rookie Report .
One half of the 18-player UCLA roster is made up of freshman, including the second-ranked recruiting class in the nation. Seven rookies have already seen action and five have earned starts, including three mainstays (Erika Selsor, Ashley Bowles and Kristee Porter) who have played every game. As the starting setter, Selsor has not missed a rotation and is averaging 12.54 assists per game. Porter leads the team with 178 kills and ranks fourth in the conference with a 4.34 per game average. Bowles is right behind Porter with 165 total kills and a 4.02 per game average (seventh in the Pac-10) and leads the team with 97 digs and a 2.37 per game average.
Angela Eckmier has seen considerable action (23 of 41 games) and earned the starting nod in Chicago. Lauren Hogan started both home matches. Taylor Rodger and Danielle Ryba have also seen action.
Double Dips .
The hottest player on the court, freshman Kristee Porter has notched 20-plus kills in four of the last five matches and totaled 19 in the last one at USC. She has reached double-figures in seven consecutive outings. Porter also notched her third double-double at Stanford falling just shy of the prestigious 20-20 club with 29 kills and 18 digs.
Fellow rookie Ashley Bowles was the first Bruin to register double figures in kills this season when she notched 21 against Ohio State. Bowles has also posted double figure kills in the last seven matches, including 20-plus outings at Stanford and USC, and has a total of eight double-dips thus far. Bowles added her third double-double (kills and digs) against Oregon State, and also came close to the 20-20 club with 20 kills and 18 digs at Stanford. Sophomore Elisabeth Bachman has reached double figures in kills in five of the last six matches, bringing her career total in this category to 16. She fell just shy of a triple-double vs. Oregon when she registered nines in kills, digs and blocks.
Senior defensive specialist Mandi Lawson reached double-figures in digs for the first two times in her Bruin career this season when she notched 11 at Santa Clara and later 12 at Stanford. Fellow specialist, sophomore Michelle Quon improved her career-high with 11 digs at USC and has reached double figures in digs on six occasions this season. Setter Erika Selsor also notched a double- figure dig match with 11 at Stanford. Rookie Angela Eckmier notched her career- high 12 digs at Santa Clara.
Power Surge For Pac-10 .
Rookie outside hitter Kristee Porter owns a .280 hitting percentage during Pac- 10 matches (the last five matches played). Porter has drilled 121 of her total 178 kills during conference play. Her average is also higher in digs during league action as she boasts a 1.85 Pac-10 digs per game average, compared to a 1.27 overall digs average. In addition, Porter has registered nearly half of her blocks during conference play with 12 of a total 25 coming against Pac-10 foes.
Building Blocks .
Sophomore Elisabeth Bachman has had a hand on at least seven kills in five of the last sox matches, including a new career-high nine (two solo, seven assisted) vs. Oregon. Bachman is currently ranked fifth in the Pac-10 Conference with an overall blocking average of 1.34. She is averaging 1.60 blocks per game in Pac-10 matches. Seven of her team-high 11 solo blocks have come during conference matches.
Bruin Sidelines .
Sophomore outside hitter Celeste Peterson underwent knee surgery during the spring and has not made sufficient progress to be cleared to participate yet this season.
Redshirt sophomore outside hitter Jennifer Wittenburg has not traveled or played due to injuries.
Rookie Taylor Rodger missed the Chicago and Bay Area trips due to a strained muscle, but is cleared to return to action. Senior defensive specialist Mandi Lawson missed the Bruins' home opener due to a pulled muscle, and is expected to be ready for action this week. Senior outside hitter Chaska Potter continues to see limited action due to injuries.
Elite Performance .
Rookie setter Erika Selsor became only the seventh player and third freshman in UCLA history to notch 70-plus assists in a single match when she tallied 70 at Stanford on Sunday, Sept. 20. The fact that this was a four-game match makes it even more rare as that has only happened six times in the total of 22 matches with 70-plus assists by a Bruin.
Coach Banachowski .
A great teacher of the game, UCLA head coach Andy Banachowski achieved one of the highest honors possible when he became the first women's volleyball coach to be inducted into the national Volleyball Hall of Fame as a coach last year. Now in his 32nd season guiding the Bruins, Banachowski is not only the owner of more victories than any other NCAA Division I women's coach, but also mentor to numerous individual success stories during and after college. He has led the Bruins to six national championships, top-four national finishes in 20 of the last 27 years and compiled 30 or more victories in seven of the last 10 seasons.
Bruin Honors:
Bowles Named All-Tournament in Hawaii . Earning All-Tournament honors in her first collegiate tournament, freshman Ashley Bowles (Manhattan Beach, Mira Costa High) is already establishing herself as a force in the UCLA lineup and in the nation. Bowles was impressive in each outing during the weekend, and posted her best numbers (21 kills, .395, 9 digs) in UCLA's 2-3 loss to Ohio State. She hit .299 and totaled 39 kills for a team- high 3.55 kills per game and added 19 digs over the weekend en route to the honor.

Apparently the stepped-up patrols of U.S. warships off the coast of Somalia and increased vigilance on the part of ships' captains in the area have not been enough to prevent yet another freighter hijacking. According to CNN, early yesterday Somali pirates in several small boats were able to pull alongside and board the Matriarch, a Delaware-based freighter.
Despite the known danger of operating in the coastal waters off of Africa's eastern coast south of the Suez Canal, the crew of the Matriarch were unarmed, and unable to offer any resistance to the pirates, who quickly brought the vessel to a halt and began their ransom demands.
So why am I bothering to mention this random bit of international news on Vinography? Because it turns out that the ship's refrigerated cargo hold was full of, among other things, hundreds of cases of cult California wines that were destined for the port of Dubai!
As I've written about in the past months, the economy has taken a serious toll on wines in the upper end of the pricing spectrum. Mailing lists that were once exclusive are now increasingly accessible to motivated wine lovers, provided they have the means to purchase.
But opening up mailing lists isn't doing the trick, especially when restaurants in Vegas, which could always be counted on to take a few cases of cult Cabernet, have stopped their ordering cold. As a result, high-end producers are having to look farther afield for buyers, to major financial centers like Hong Kong and Dubai.
Which is why 250 cases of upper-echelon Cabernet from the likes of Harlan, Screaming Eagle, Colgin, and Husic ended up on a boat from Europe to the Middle East.
And amazingly, the story doesn't end there. When the pirates learned that part of their cargo included bottles of wine that sold for hundreds, even thousands of dollars per bottle, they dropped their ransom demands, and made off with the bottles. The AP news photo shows some of the pirates celebrating with their spoils.
The willingness to settle for expensive wine instead of ransom cash has more than a few experts mystified. Some are suggesting, however, that the wine might be seen as a status symbol in many Pirate communities. I find this highly unlikely however, given that virtually the entire country is Muslim. But who knows? These Somalis may have adopted more traditional pirate values along with their basic tactics.
Yet another Somali hijacking barely registered as an international news story, but here at home in California, the news has spread quickly throughout wine country. I called up some of the folks I know to get their take on the story.
"This financial loss adds insult to injury in these times," said Terry Hall, Communications Director at the Napa Valley Vintners Association. "These wines represent so much hard work not to mention capital investment, it's going to devastate some of these folks when they find out." Apparently some of the vintners involved don't know yet as they often take Spring Break week for vacation.
Dalia Banerjee, Executive Director of the Oakville Winegrowers (an appellation that was disproportionally represented in the hijacked cargo) offered hope that the wine might be recovered. "I can't provide details at the moment, but at least one of the vintners has retained a private security firm with the hopes of recovering their wines," she said.
Several people I talked to though that the whole thing was a publicity stunt cooked up by a group of cult producers who regularly meet in St. Helena. That sounds pretty far fetched to me, but if it were true, it might be the coolest underground PR stunt I've ever heard of -- the wine equivalent of faking your own death to become famous.
The Matriarch, a bit lighter in cargo, is on its way to Dubai, with a crew that feels lucky to be alive.
At least one news service will continue to cover the hijacking and its aftermath in detail. You can follow the updates here.

HARRISONBURG — A Staunton man was sentenced to six months in prison in Rockingham County Circuit Court on Tuesday for attempting to extort a Harrisonburg Police Department investigator.
James Lynwood Tuckson Jr., 29, entered a plea agreement that sentenced him to five years in prison, with all but six months suspended. Judge Bruce Albertson accepted the deal.
In a March 11 letter to HPD investigator Chris O'Neill, Tuckson demanded that O'Neill return $12,000 he says the investigator stole during a search of the Staunton man's house. The search was related to another case.
Tuckson admitted to making the unfounded demand, but didn't realize it was extortion, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Christopher Bean said.
Tuckson is being held at the Middle River Regional Jail for a previous conviction of stalking another HPD officer.

A corned beef and cabbage dinner with potatoes and carrots is the March 17, St. Patrick's Day tradition, but what kind of potatoes do you use for your boiled dinner? St. Patrick's Day 2014 is here with homes around the nation getting ready to boil the traditional corned beef and cabbage dinner. Can the type of potato you use make or break the dinner?
According to the Boston Globe on March 16, corned beef is consumed by the masses for St. Patrick's Day. Pearl Packing Co. supplies most of Boston with their corned beef. The company starts getting ready for the holiday at the end of January. They do 75 percent of their corned beef sales for the entire year in their first quarter of the year, thanks to St. Patrick's Day. With all this corned beef goes tons of potatoes, but what which kind do you use?
What is the best potato to use for the corned beef and cabbage ?
Most veteran cooks know that the difference between the various types of potatoes is vast, some are perfect for baking and others are best when boiled. Most corned beef and cabbage recipes today call for just "quartered potatoes," like IBT suggests this weekend. The type of potato is not offered in even the most elaborate of recipes.
While you wouldn't use a baking potato, such as the Idaho potato, there are three types of potatoes that work well for a boiled dinner of corned beef and cabbage. These potatoes are readily available across the country. The red potato, Yukon Gold potato or white potato work the best when using in a boiled dinner.
You don't want to use a high-starch potato like the russet, unless you plan on mashing the potato, you want a medium to low-starch potato that holds its shape while still being tender, as suggested in an archived article from Better Homes and Gardens.
These three potatoes have different tastes, like the Yukon Gold, which is known for its butter-like taste. The red potato has a sweeter taste and the white potato has a bit of an earthy taste to it.
Because the potato soaks up all the spices and salt from the corned beef in the water, you don't necessarily need to pick a potato for taste, unless you are one of the cooks who like to boil their potatoes separate from the corned beef. Many cooks go for the red potato for their corned beef dinner because it adds color to the plate.
The skin of the red potato is usually left on when boiling for this dinner, making it easier to prepare instead of peeling the potatoes. The skin of the Yukon Gold potato can also be left on, as this too cooks to a consistency that's tender to eat, like the red potato.
The white, or "all-purpose potato" also works well with this boiled dinner, but you might want to peel this potato for boiling. The skin is a bit thicker and while it is fine to eat, it is a bit tough, unlike the Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
For your corned beef and cabbage dinner this St. Patrick's day, just quarter any of the three potatoes above and add them to your boiling pot. They should cook for about 45 minutes before serving. You can add them to the simmering pot of corned beef, but at that heat, they would need about an hour to get tender.

For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people's dreams is getting old. Especially the falling dreams, the naked-but-nobody- notices dreams, and the sex-crazed dreams. Janie's seen enough fantasy booty to last her a lifetime.
She can't tell anybody about what she does — they'd never believe her, or worse, they'd think she's a freak. So Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she doesn't want and can't control.
Then she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is more than a witness to someone else's twisted psyche. She is a participant….

This is another of those books that was recommended to me recently, and it was a quick read (which I'm always a fan of). The thing is, even at 200 pages, the book was shorter than it seems. At only 37,000 words, it's more novella length than novel length in my opinion, even for YA. Nothing against novellas but generally I prefer to know that's what I'm getting, and it's not what I expect when I pick up a print book anywhere past the kids' section (that my seven-year-old frequents).
Having said that, the story was intriguing. Janie gets sucked into other people's dreams (whether or not she's asleep). Not only does it make living dangerous for her (imagine your world vanishing from around you while you're driving), but it's also taking its toll on her because she's not getting restful sleep. She doesn't know why this happens to her or how to stop it.
While she does put in some work on the latter issue, one of my big beefs with the book is that the former seems a non-issue. It's mentioned, but more in a whiny "why is this happening to me?" way.
I liked the way the romantic subplot with Cabel was woven in, both with how he was nice to her early on and how they initially started talking later.
The biggest issue plotwise was that, for much of the book, there didn't feel like there was a plot. It didn't quite suffer from that one vampire series problem of no external conflict until the last quarter of the book, but considering how short Wake was, it still kind of felt like that's about when it came in. I'm all for world-building and set-up and subplots, but when the external conflict shows up halfway through, it winds up feeling like a different book altogether. Personally… I liked the "second book" better.
The other thing that kept me from loving Wake was the style in which it was written. Present tense can be handled really well, but for me it works much better in first person than third. For some reason that kept tripping me up. Combine that with the very short, fragmented sentences throughout and the narrative kept kicking me out of a story I was trying to sink into.
That whole "second book" part of Wake though? It has me intrigued enough to start the follow-up, Fade, tonight. So it wasn't a love, but it wasn't a hate. And that latter part made it worth reading on.
Hmm, will you be doing a review on the second part? If that's good I might pick it up.

There are not a lot of bugs that are going to bother your roses, but the ones who do, can really get "under your skin". Keep in mind that with any pest control program the idea is to work with nature to keep a balance, not to eradicate every living creature in your garden.
Like fungicides you have choices of "systemic" and "contact" with different modes of action. For this article we will focus on using products that control aphids and thrips.
1. Systemic insecticides – systemic products are absorbed and work from inside the plant making the plant toxic to the insect that eats it. These insecticides can be applied with fertilizer, in a soil drench, or applied foliarly.
2. Contact insecticides – contact products are sprays that are applied to the leaves and blooms of the plants. If insects are present during the time of application or if they ingest leaves that have been sprayed, they will be affected.
3. Natural or Organic – like all plant protectants there are many products that are listed as organic or natural. Neem and other plant based oils are often used in these products. As with all products read the label carefully to see what insects these products control.
Aphids are one of the common insects that we work against. They grow huge colonies that suck the juices out the stems and buds. The good news is that the damage that they do is limited and they should be relatively easy to control. Most systemic or contact control products including insecticidal soap should lower the aphid population. In most cases it takes repeated applications to get them off of your bushes completely.
Thrips are tiny insects that live inside your rose buds and suck the water out of them leaving brown spots on your blooms. Systemic insecticides do not help with control because the vascular system of the leaf is different from that of a petal and the flowers do not get enough insecticide in them to help. Use a contact product that is labeled for thrips and spray it into the bloom getting it all the way down to the base of the bloom whenever possible.
One note about broad spectrum insecticides such as Sevin- broad spectrum insecticides will get the job done every time. They are a great last resort. However, they do tend to kill beneficial insects along with the bad guys which can cause problems down the road. They will also quickly get rid of any butterflies or bees that you may want in your garden. We strongly recommend limited use of broad spectrum insecticides.
I know what you are thinking. What about Japanese Beetles? They are the bane of my rose growing life! The discussion of Japanese Beetles is sufficient to warrant its own article next month. We know that we will see them in June.

Assisted by Texas fall temperatures in the mid-60s, Samuel Kosgei and Emily Loeffler won in the overall male and female divisions with times of 48:26.7 and 1:01:22 respectively. The incentive was certainly there with a generous cash purse provided by local specialty running shoe store On the Run.
Once again, USA (United Space Alliance), a prime NASA contractor, was the major sponsor of this popular event. In the spirit of sharing useless trivia, this was the only opportunity current Houston area runners ever had or will ever have to race 10 miles on 10/10/10.
The single loop course was flat and fast (part of it on the popular Bay Area loop) and the start and finish was staged out of the University of Houston/Clear Lake parking lot which offered more than enough parking. The 10-Miler was the second event of the 2010 HARRA Fall Series.
The next event is the Koala/Luke's Locker Half Marathon, which is also the first event of the marathon warm-up series. That half marathon happens on 10/24/10 so there's still time to register. Go here to view USA 10-Miler photos.

Workshop Description
"A writer is a reader who is moved to emulation," – Saul Bellow.
The central goal of this workshop is to encourage this movement from observer to practitioner.
Unlike with the master painter or pianist or plumber, you cannot learn much at all from watching the master fiction-writer at work. You must observe the sentences he or she has made and set down in sequence to create the story. In other words, to apprentice in the art, you must make the page your master. This course aims to promote creatively profitable reading through a patient, up-close approach to four different "master" stories, one per week.
With focus as much on the art of the sentence as on story structure, participants will be prompted to move from what is effective on the page to how it is effective, and in turn, by becoming better readers, to make famous writers' maneuvers graspable and ready for emulation. With such an approach, and with supplementary readings on the practice of storymaking, the course will provide specific and useful exposure to the artful elements operating in compelling short fiction.
Among the topics for readerly attention in each story will be:
- Narrative structure
- "Scene" vs. "summary"
- Free indirect style
- The specific experience in the general
- The interplay of character and setting
- Empathic imagination
- Development of narrative tension/momentum
- Imagery and its placement
- Dialogue mechanics.
Workshop Outline
Pre-Workshop Readings (Handouts)
- "A Note on Technique," by Wallace Stegner
- "My Life's Sentences," by Jhumpa Lahiri
- "Reading Like a Writer," by Francine Prose (brief excerpt)
Week 1: Going Roundtrip with The Doctor
- Apprenticing to: "The Doctor," by Andre Dubus (Sr.)
- Supplementary reading: "Letter to a Young Writer" (Dubus)
- Practice: Isolations and Emulations
Isolations are brief exercises in which participants select a particularly admirable story passage — as brief as a single sentence — and take a stab at articulating the reason for writerly admiration. What does the passage achieve? How does it achieve this effect? What can we learn?
Emulations move participants from observers of examples of effective craft to makers of original fictional moments.
Week 2: One-Way Travel with Mom
- Apprenticing to: "Everything That Rises Must Converge," by Flannery O'Connor
- Supplementary reading: "Writing Short Stories" (O'Connor)
- Practice: Isolations and Emulations (see above for descriptions)
Week 3: Free-Range Storytelling
- Apprenticing to: "Fits" by Alice Munro
- Supplementary readings:
Introduction to Selected Stories (Munro)
Excerpt from The Art of Fiction No. 137, from The Paris Review
- Practice: Isolations and Emulations (see above for descriptions)

- "Beginners" by Raymond Carver — original story draft
- "Beginners" by Raymond Carver — as edited by Gordon Lish

Nancy Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime airs on the centennial of Ronald Reagan's birth
Sunday, February 6, 2011 on PBS — 10 pm EST (check local listings)
Friends, family, historians, members of Ronald Reagan's inner circle, and Nancy Reagan herself, reflect on the life of one of the nation's most iconic first ladies, in Nancy Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime, a one-hour biography timed to coincide with the centennial of Ronald Reagan's birth. It airs Sunday, February 6, 2011 at 10 pm (EST) on PBS.
Produced by MacNeil/Lehrer Productions, the documentary explores the life of a first lady whose power and influence were often underestimated. Criticized for taking a seemingly traditional role as first lady during an era focused on women's rights, those within Ronald Reagan's inner circle recognized Mrs. Reagan's role as much more than the stylish spouse who redecorated the White House.
The documentary features interviews with historians and biographers who, after extensive research into Ronald Reagan's political career, have now concluded that Nancy Reagan was one of the most influential first ladies in modern times, with far-reaching impact on personnel and policy issues. Nancy Reagan is credited with moving President Reagan to more moderate positions, in particular his stance toward the Soviet Union, and with getting her husband to publicly admit his involvement in Iran-Contra, a move that likely saved his presidency. To this day, she continues to use her statue and influence as she guards her husband's legacy and champions stem cell research.
In a rare, extended interview with Judy Woodruff, Nancy Reagan reflects on her childhood, her life as an actress, her marriage to Ronald Reagan, their lifelong romance, and her role as his most trusted adviser in a political career that would take them from the back lots of Hollywood to the California governor's mansion and then to the White House.
Nancy Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime features never-before-seen photos made available by the Reagan Foundation, rare film footage, plus interviews with members of Ronald Reagan's political inner circle, including Jim Baker and Ken Duberstein, who both served as Reagan's White House chief of staff; and Stuart Spencer, Reagan's long time political strategist. Other features include interviews with Nancy's son Ronald Reagan, family friends, and historians, including Lou Cannon, one of the most prolific authors on the Reagans, who has followed their lives since his days as a political reporter for the Sacramento Bee in the early days of Reagan's political career.
A companion web site, pbs.org/newshour/nancy-reagan features photo galleries of the Reagan's early years in Hollywood to their life in the White House including State dinners and foreign travels, plus much more.
To request a DVD screener of the full program, contact Anne Bell at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 703.998.2175.
Nancy Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime is produced by MacNeil/Lehrer Productions in association with KLRU. Funding for Nancy Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime is provided by: the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; The Annenberg Foundation; The Lux Foundation; John A. & Cynthia Fry Gunn; The Albert & Ethel Herzstein Charitable Foundation; George P. Shultz; and Alan Greenspan & Andrea Mitchell.
Nancy Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime is the most recent profile in the Modern First Ladies series being produced by MacNeil/Lehrer Productions. MacNeil/Lehrer Productions produces the PBS NEWSHOUR, which airs weeknights on more than 300 local PBS stations, as well as other programs for public, commercial and cable television. MLP also produced complete broadcast coverage of the 2008 Democratic and Republican national conventions for PBS. Other recent television programs produced by MLP include: Debating our Destiny, a critically acclaimed two-part series during which Jim Lehrer interviews former presidential and vice-presidential candidates about their debate triumphs and failures; Generation Next, Judy Woodruff's travels across the country to explore the unique perspectives of Americans ages 16 – 25; the award-winning Do You Speak American?, Robert MacNeil's cross-country trek to discover why Americans speak the way we do; The First Lady: Public Expectations, Private Lives, a look at the expectations of the role of the modern first lady; Betty Ford: The Real Deal; and LadyBird, a profile of former First Lady, LadyBird Johnson. MLP is also the leading force behind the By the People: America in the World civic engagement project.

IMF Deputy Managing Director Min Zhu to Address IMF-Samoa Conference on Pacific Islands IssuesPress Release No. 12/71
March 7, 2012
Mr. Min Zhu, Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), will visit Apia, Samoa, on March 23, 2012 to address a high-level conference co-hosted with the Government of Samoa on "Fostering Inclusive Growth and Building Resilience" in the Pacific islands. The event will bring together leading policy makers from 10 Pacific island nations, representatives from regional development partners, international organizations, academia, and the private sector.
"I am very much looking forward to my first visit to the Pacific islands region as Deputy Managing Director of the IMF. Despite vast differences, the Pacific island countries face common challenges arising from the size of their economies, vulnerability to external shocks, and the need for economic diversification and policy flexibility. This conference is a good opportunity to share knowledge and inter-regional experiences, and to work together to tackle the challenges the Pacific islands face under the current global environment," Mr. Zhu stated.
The conference will focus on how the Pacific islands can increase resilience to external shocks and broaden the region's growth base, with a particular emphasis on the role of the private sector in country specific and regional development.

According to PPG's Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, research and development, coatings, Charles F. Kahle II, Argex and PPG have planned to unite the efforts and have an intention to create a TiO2 product, which can satisfy the normal standards for use in exterior and interior paint applications. He stated that this planned initiative provides the opportunity to PPG to leverage the company's capability and protect an improved supply of this significant raw material. The company has considered the volatile pricing for TiO2 as a main problem, he said.
Depending on the growth of the treatment technologies, the contract offers for the discussion of a supply and acquisition agreement signed between PPG and Argex.
Previously, PPG used the chloride method to manufacture TiO2 at its chemical plant in Natrium, W.Va. and marketed TiO2 pigment for use in coatings and additional end-use applications. TiO2 is a widely used raw material in the coatings and paint industry as pigment, due to its durability, hiding and whiteness.

Welcome to Chaos Tackle Inc, the home of the Medussa line of swim baits. Chaos Tackle was created by a few dedicated musky anglers that wanted something more.

The tensions have been persistent and rising in Tibet for years. The Chinese government keeps making claims that things are improving in Tibet, while the Tibetans nevertheless continue to share a different story of how horrible it has been living under the repressive policies of China. There has been an increased crackdown in Tibet, reports the Tibet Sun on Jan. 20, 2014.
The Tibetan Center for Human Rights and Democracy (TCHRD) says that with greater than 800 political prisoners and repressive policies in Tibet, the human rights situation in Tibet has continued to worsen. TCHRD says the desire for any real reforms in Tibet has been undermined by China's policies of "violent suppression of peaceful protests, arbitrary detentions, travel restrictions, crackdown on artists, and relocating nomads." The Tibetans feel these policies have been causing permanent damage to the Tibetan culture and the environment.
Since 2009 there have been 125 reported self-immolations by protesting Tibetans, with 27 of these in 2013. Clearly these distressed Tibetans and many others do not feel life is worth living under the harsh rule of a government which shows no respect for their basic human rights and they want to leave behind them a strong message for humanity about this horrible situation.
TCHRD has described China's response to the self-immolation protests as "merciless repression". According to the 2013 Annual Report on the situation of human rights in Tibet in 2013 there was a severe crackdown on basic freedoms of Tibetans. Sadly, it appears 2014 too is going to be just another terrible year for Tibetans.

Opening the office at the Australian High Commission, Australian Federal Police Commissioner Tony Negus said this office will further cement the commitment between the two countries to combat criminal threats. âAs regional partners, Australia and India face common threats related to transitional crime, including drugs, human trafficking, terrorism and cyber crime,â he said. Negus added that the new office will be involved in anti-terror operations to protect citizens from terror and cyber crimes. âDiscussions with Indian authorities have been highly productive and we look forward to strengthening the India-Australia law enforcement relationship,â he added. Negus said recent agreements on the reciprocal hosting of law enforcement liaison officers and the successful delivery of a joint police training programme would benefit police in both countries. The opening of this post brings the total number of AFP International Network liaison officers to 98, stationed in 33 posts around the world.

Raffaella Fico from Italy's big brother claims to be football star Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend. After a tiff with the media, she has insisted that it is not just a summer fling, but there has been no confirmation from the man himself at this stage.
The reports came from statements by Fico at the Mediterranean trade show, Expolischia, on the island of Ischia. She says they're very happy together, but perhaps Ronaldo doesn't know… And is he happy about Raffaella's much publicised vergin status and the one million for her virginity affair?

Welcome, skip to the content.
This room displays artwork from a time
of great social and political upheaval. Artists were looking to New
York as their cultural focus and were interpreting Pop Art and
Photo-realism, and experimenting with Hard Edge Abstraction.
In 1967, when James Mollison was
appointed the Gallery's first professional Director, he started to
acquire work that was at the very forefront of Australian art
practice, exposing Ballarat locals and visitors to art that
questioned, initiated discussion and forced us to look at
ourselves. Large paintings were again the norm with commercial
buildings booming and art needed for large spaces.
Like the Powell Gallery, this room was
created as an exhibition space in 1987. It commemorates William and
Rene Ritchie, local business people and keen art collectors. Their
son Blair bequeathed many of the works in their collection to the
Gallery in 1998.

Selena Gomez has to deal with an intruder that was arrested outside her house early on Saturday (Jan. 25). Selena Gomez dealing with Justin Bieber getting arrested this week was reportedly just the beginning of her drama-filled January. According to a report from TMZ, someone broke on to her property and was "creeping around" on it.
A family member dialed 911 when they saw the man was on the property and law enforcement rushed to the scene. He was arrested by police and charged with trespassing; reportedly giving the excuse that he was just there to see Gomez in person. It has not yet been revealed whether she was actually home at the time, but the news story is still considered to be breaking.
As for the Justin Bieber front, he is reportedly down in Panama after getting released from jail. He was seen drinking on the beach with friends and taking full advantage of lower drinking age of 18 down there. It was just back on Thursday (Jan. 23) that he was arrested for drunken driving, resisting arrest, and driving without a valid license by Miami Beach police. He got out on a $2,500 bail, but the damage to his professional reputation has been pretty severe.
Bieber hasn't weighed in publically about the Selena Gomez intruder just yet, but that will probably come before the end of the weekend.

We know that our dogs feel love, appreciation, and excitement. But we also know they don't feel shame or embarrassment.

Melanie Mainor's jump of 1.73 meters in the high jump is the third best performance in the event in Tulane history
Feb. 1, 2013
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Junior Melanie Mainor posted a new personal record by clearing 1.73 meters (5' 8") in the high jump at the New Mexico Collegiate Classic in Albuquerque, N.M.
On a day where Tulane traveled early in the morning only to compete later in the same day, track and field head coach Eric Peterson was pleased with what he saw out of his junior from Powder Springs, Ga.
"We traveled today," said Peterson. "Our kids got on a 4 a.m. flight this morning, flew out to Albuquerque, had a few hours of rest and came out to compete. For Melanie to be able to work through that and compete so well is a very strong indication that she is figuring this thing out. It was really fun to see."
The jump is good enough for third place all-time in Tulane's indoor record books. All-American Nadia Smith holds the school record, clearing 1.82 meters (5' 11½") back in 1997, and the second best jump belongs to former Mainor teammate Zandria Debowles, who cleared 1.75 meters (5' 8¾") two seasons ago.
"I'm really excited that I was able to get a personal record today after getting a personal record my last time out," stated Mainor. "This season is looking real good. I feel great that I am competing this well so early in the season. I'm really looking forward to what I can do for the rest of the year."
On the day, Mainor's jump placed fourth - the same place she finished at the Cherry and Silver Invitational on Jan. 18. While there, she posted a high jump of 1.68 meters (5' 6"). Becoming familiar with the venue - the Albuquerque Convention Center - is what she believes helped her break that personal record today.
"It always helps when you are familiar with the pit," said Mainor. "The surface in here is a little bit different than what we are used to. It's a little elevated off the ground, so having the experience from two weeks ago on the track helped me out this week."
While the compressed day could have been a hindrance to his team, Coach Peterson believes that Mainor's performance is a good example to use for athletes across the board.
"What I think Melanie worked through today is a good reminder to everyone that you are not always going to feel your best," stated Peterson. "You have to be willing to work through some adversity and not give up until you find your rhythm and timing, allowing yourself to develop some consistency. That will help you become successful no matter how you feel."
Sophomore Tiffany Kenney also set a personal record in the high jump today by clearing 1.58 meters (5' 2¼"). She placed tenth in the event. Tulane, along with Air Force, were the only two schools to produce two top ten finishes in the high jump.
Tulane only competed in one other event on the day - the long jump. The New Mexico Collegiate Classic meet standards state that jumpers participating in the long jump must clear a minimum length of 5.45 meters (17' 10¾"). Unfortunately, Kenney and freshman Dana Ohlson were credited with fouls in the long jump competition for not making the minimum.
Tomorrow, the Greenies will participate in three events, with Jessica Knierim, Joanna Lapucha and Merritt Van Meter competing in the pole vault, Estefany Cruz and Briana Santiago taking part in the triple jump and Kenney and Ohlson running in the 60 meter hurdles.

If you visit eBay today you will just be in time to bid on the Ferrari Enzo replica seen in these pictures. For those who can't afford the original, the German version of eBay (ebay.de) is currently listing this attention grabbing replica.
Although it's a replica, this isn't a fibreglass-bodied-Ford powered disaster. The bodywork is made from a carbon and glass fibre composite and power is provided by a 400bph BMW sourced V12. The entire exhaust system is made from authentic Ferrari parts, as it's taken from the original F50.
But there's no mistaking this car for the real thing. Inside the replica Enzo's steering wheel and gear shifter can't match the original and although the front end looks pretty authentic, from the rear the window's shape and its connection to the roof don't mirror the Italian supercar.
You'll need serious cash to get involved with the bidding that ends 7th January, as the highest bid is now over 40,000 EUR.

Marcas McGowan case affidavit keeps Cady Harris' shooter a secret
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A Kansas Bureau of Investigation report prepared for the Leavenworth County Attorney on the shooting death of 5-year-old Cady Harris last month redacted all details of the actual shooting. It left the identity of the person who pulled the trigger on the shot that killed her a mystery.
The report, obtained with a Kansas Open Records Act request , was produced to support charges against Marcas McGowan, who has been charged with first degree murder along with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and other crimes in the case.
But every word of the report from the moment McGowan allegedly stopped his car at the end of a two-state chase, to the moment a Leavenworth Police sergeant discovered Harris' body, has been redacted. It will remain secret from the public until McGowan's trial.
"Any time there is an open investigation and there hasn't been any evidence presented in court, all attorneys have an ethical responsibility to allow the information to speak for itself in court," Todd Thompson, the Leavenworth County Attorney, said. "We're not to release any other information, and we're just going to keep it at that."
On Friday, Thompson said he would not file criminal charges against the officers involved in the case, and cleared them to resume duty, suggesting the details in the report, which are blocked from public view, may have been enough to exonerate them.
A separate report, also prepared by the KBI, includes the result of an investigation into the officers' actions during the incident. That report has not yet been made publicly available.
The KBI is handling both investigations, in a case which has gained national attention, and remains legally sensitive.

O Captain! My Captain!
by Walt Whitman
Stanza 2 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 9-12
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up–for you the flag is flung–for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths–for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
- The sailor comes to the dead captain's side and begs him to rise again. Because the speaker is addressing someone (or something) who can no longer respond to him, this is known as an apostrophe.
- And why should the captain re-animate his dead self? Well, the speaker says that all the people on shore are cheering for the captain.
- The sailor lists the ways in which the people are celebrating: raising the flag, playing horns, holding flowers, and calling out to the captain. It's a real hullaballoo.
- To say that the crowd has "eager faces" is another use of a synecdoche. It's not just their faces that are eager, really. Their faces are used to represent the whole of their excited attitude toward this captain. They think he's a righteous dude.
Lines 13-16
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the deck,
You've fallen cold and dead.
- The sailor takes the dead captain in his arms and calls the captain "father," although the man probably isn't really his father.
- Still, the speaker has intense feelings for this man, whose head is on his arm. That's probably not a relaxing position to lie in, but sadly the captain doesn't feel the discomfort.
- The speaker says he must be dreaming. He can't accept the reality that the captain died just as they reached home.
