Review: J. Herbin Ambre de Birmanie Fountain Pen Ink
From the J Herbin website:
"J. Herbin is the oldest name in pen inks in the world. M. Herbin created "The Jewel of Inks" in his shop on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain in Paris in 1700."
"Each bottle of 30 ml has an integrated pen rest. They are known as "D bottle pen inks. The "D" refers to the old French unit of measure "la Demi Courtine".
* 30 beautiful colors!
* Non toxic and pH neutral
* Lightfast
* Water based
* Flows smoothly and is fast drying
* All natural dyes
Ambre de Birmanie - the color of hot caramel on vanilla ice cream, or gold without the glitter. It's perfectly amber...
Tested in an EF Lamy Safari - it had great flow and nice saturation for a lighter color. Some shading. Looked good on both the bright white Clairefontaine paper, and the ivory Canteo.

Ok, this is an absolutely beautiful color. How waterproof is this?

Hi Brian - I don't test the waterproofness of my fountain pen inks. As most are water based, I assume that is it gets wet, it will get smudged... Unless it's one of the Noodlers Bulletproof inks.

- Brian Scott Richardson said...
Yes. I need a full list of Noodler's Bulletproof inks. I need to branch out from my basic black. I still might pick some of this color up just for fun.

I think it looks nice, like a yellow ochre :) I think it would be a nice drawing colour, as with the other browns. They remind me of conté crayons.

"the color of hot caramel on vanilla ice cream" -- oh, god...yum. I got here through metafilter. I wonder if this ink is safe to use with a Mont Blanc fountain pen, do you know? Thanks. Love your blog. :)
- April 18, 2009 at 11:19 PM
- Biffybeans said...
Gentian - it is nice, nice flowing as well. I just don't really have a use for it - but I can definitely see how it could be used for drawing.
Hi Joy, and Welcome! In theory, inks marked as "Fountain pen inks" can be used in any fountain pen, though there is some debate that certain brands of highly saturated inks may gunk up the feed. (on any pen) Herbin is not one of those brands. They have been making FP inks for over 300 years. What you don't ever want to do is to use any kind of shellac based ink in a fountain pen because they WILL destroy them. This means India/China inks, drawing inks and calligraphy inks. Hope that helps!

just found your blog; great stuff. it's inspired me to revisit using fountain pens to draw. my old standby was/is a 20-year-old Cross pen, so, clearly, I have some research to do.
I also appreciate your entries on notebooks, as I'm always on the lookout for The One. I'm a fan of the Clairefontaines but am currently using a Miquelrius 5-topic binder as my principal notebook and a Moleskine sketchbook to draw.
all that said, I have to wave the flag for the Pilot G-TEC-C4 0.4 Microtip Gel Rollerball as my personal candidate for best feeling pen on good-quality notebook paper.
cheers and kudos on a great blog.
- April 19, 2009 at 6:37 PM
- Biffybeans said...
sobsister - thank you for your kind words about my blog! I haven't played around to much with Miquelrius as I know that they have about 6 different kinds of paper..... what I've tried so far hasn't been fountain pen friendly, but I've heard some are. The only pens I use beside FP's are Faber Castell Pitt Artist pens, (F) nib, and the occasional PaperMate stick ballpoint.
- April 19, 2009 at 6:41 PM
I JUST put this ink into my wen jue 2031. It just flows so beautifully, like you said. And the colour is just gorgeous. It matches the pen body almost perfectly, as well!
A new (maybe more inexpensive) FP friendly paper is "Strathmore Drawing paper" It doesn't have too rough a tooth, NO bleed, and it folds for letters very well, even 5 sheets fold very easily. No affiliation, just a fan.

Secrets of Success
Still Trying to Get Through This Sickness
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
I know I sound like a major whiner, but this has been one of the worst colds/viruses that I have ever had (as well as my family). I am a little disappointed that with the healthy foods I eat, getting a flu shot, trying to get enough sleep (although not always succeeding thanks to my age), etc. that I still ended up getting so sick.
I've been trying to do the things that I have to (taking care of laundry, etc.) but it's been very hard due to lack of stamina, etc. I've been getting online more since I'm at least being half-way productive doing "something" and don't have to talk when doing that since all I do is cough, etc.
My muscles in my stomach are so sore from all the coughing I've been doing for days on end and everyone else in the family is in the same shoes. Ugh....
All I can say is thank goodness for the stockpile of Kleenex and cold medicine I had on hand, as well as plenty of hot beverages such as diet hot chocolate and coffee (mostly decaf. when it's past the morning time) to help with the congestion and sore throat.
I guess I'm complaining so much because I also have asthma and it's been very difficult to breathe with all this congestion and I hate that feeling. When I was growing up I would have asthma attacks (major ones) and had no medicine or treatment to help me since it was against my dad's religion to go to doctors, etc. I suffered a lot from that and almost died a few times, but had no sympathy or help. It just brings back bad memories and makes me panic a little bit, which is what you don't want to do when you're having a hard time breathing.
I'm improving a little (as is everyone else in my family, slowly) so there's light at the end of the tunnel, but this has been very emotional and very draining to my energy level, etc.
I know there's been a lot of sickness going around our homeschool group, so it's no shock that I finally (and my family too) got some of the "junk" going around.

yes sickness seems to be running ramped in every part of the country . It spread rapidly and hospitals filled up to the limit . In my family we did not get it . we stayed home . I wanted to go but weather and time limits kept me home bound and so i missed the flu . i also got the flu shot . get it every year . Honey you have to take care of you . you are the main person in your family that holds it all together . without you they would be lost . YOu are the best shopper i know of . Bargains galore . and you do it all with a smile upon your face . I tell people you can find a bargain with your hands tied behind your back . I hope you are feeling well now and not ill . keep up your fight . we love you and i respect you even tho we do not personally know one another . i am in some of your groups and i think you are wonderful .

Date: December 04 2012
COLLINGWOOD has enabled Andrew Krakouer to have to his first high-altitude training camp in the US after the club arranged a last-minute visa for Krakouer, who was unable to go in 2010 and 2011 due to a criminal conviction.
The Magpies made arrangements for Krakouer's visa late on Monday, enabling him to leave with the team for their altitude camp in Park City, half an hour from Salt Lake City, Utah. Only four senior players are unable to go - skipper Nick Maxwell, Alan Didak, Dale Thomas and Tyson Goldsack.
Otherwise, the rest of the senior list is able to go on the camp, the club's first in Utah after several in Arizona. The camp, which is at the American Ski and Snowboard Association, is at the same altitude as the Arizona camps, about 2100 metres.

Columbia Laboratories inked a license deal with Invaron Pharmaceuticals for Striant® (testosterone buccal system). Invaron will seek regulatory approval for and will market Striant in Canada. Columbia will receive a royalty on annual net sales, assuming Invaron receives Health Canada regulatory approval. Invaron's main purview is the acquisition of niche drugs and medical devices registered in other countries but not in Canada.
Striant was approved by the FDA in June 2003 for a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone associated with hypogonadism in men. It is marketed by Actient Pharmaceuticals in the U.S. and The Urology Company in Europe.
The product was developed on Columbia's bioadhesive drug delivery system (BDS). The key ingredient in the BDS technology is polycarbophil, a nonimmunogenic, hypo-allergenic, bioadhesive polymer. Polycarbophil bonds to the cells of the body's mucosal surfaces upon administration. In Striant, which is a buccal product, polycarbophil adheres to the cells of the oral mucosa. Besides Striant, Columbia has developed and sold six products on the BDS platform for the U.S. market, including Crinone®. Crinone is a vaginally-administered progesterone gel that is designed to bond to the vaginal epithelial cells.
Once in place, the BDS releases the active drug in a controlled and sustained manner until it is discharged upon normal cell turnover, Columbia reports. This occurs every three to five days for the vaginal epithelium and up to every 24 hours for the oral mucosa.
Crinone was approved by the FDA in May 1997 for progesterone supplementation or replacement as part of an assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment for infertile women with a progesterone deficiency. Watson markets the product in the U.S. and Merck Serono markets it outside the U.S.

Louisville 6 Syracuse 4
• Meyers (L, 3-3) 5⅔ IP, 14H, 6R, 6ER, 0BB, 8K, HR
• Pena 2IP, 0H, 0R, 1BB, 3K
• Marrero 2-4, R, 2B, HR, 3RBI, BB
• Hulett 4-4, R, 2 2B, RBI, BB
This game had the makings of the wrong kind of laugher when Brad Meyers gave up three runs on five hits and one error in the first inning. Syracuse, however, immediately answered in the bottom of the frame with a majestic three-run blast that had the radio announcers in awe. Meyers gave up a solo shot to the Syracuse nemesis and Reds blocked prospect Devin Mesoraco in the top of the third. In the bottom of the third, the Chiefs wasted a leadoff double by Chris Marrero. New fan favorite Matt Antonelli didn't light up the box score, but he did earn a two-out walk in front of a Tug Hulett double for Syracuse's final run. The 4-4 game fell apart for the Chiefs in the top of the 6th. Meyers yielded a cheap single to leadoff. With two outs Alonso Yadier Alongso singled and that bad, bad man Mesoraco tripled, yielding two runs. Atahulapa "Huapa Time" Severino stopped the bleeding by stranding Mesoraco on third with a Juan Francisco groundout after a walk to Jeremy Hermida. Ryan Tatusko made his Syracuse debut, pitching a scoreless 9th inning. Overall, the Bats have a fearsome lineup with their 1-6 hitters all hitting well over .300. They hit as advertised tonight with a total of 16 knocks, 14 of them against Meyers.
Akron 9 Harrisburg 5
• Roark (L, 3-2) 2⅔ IP, 4H, 7R, 7ER, 3BB, 3K, HR
• Carlos Martinez 3⅓ IP, 0H, 0R, 3BB, K
• Lombardozzi 3-5, R, K
• Gilbert 1-4, R, 3R HR, 3RBI
Harrisburg got off to an auspicious start over the Akron Aeros with a five-run first inning, punctuated by a three run home run from Archie Gilbert, who is now hitting .297/.371/.485. Lombardozzi continued to solidify his status as a one of the premier leadoff hitters in the Eastern League with a 3-for-5 night, answering his critics in prospect evaluation land with a .297/.371/.485 line. Sadly, Tanner Roark did not answer his critics. He fell apart with three walks and a hit by pitch as part of a seven-run top of the 3rd before Carlos Martinez, who pitched three and 1/3rd strong innings to keep the Senators in the game, ended the inning on a Matt Lawson groundout. The Pats, Lehman and McCoy, each yielded runs in the 8th and 9th innings to complete the scoring in a frustrating Harrisburg loss.
Potomac 9 Salem 8
• Clegg 1⅔ IP, 5H, 4R, 1ER, 2BB, 1K
• Bronson 4⅓ IP, 4H, 1R, 1ER, 0BB, 1K, HR
• Lozada 2-4, 2B, 3RBI
• Perez 3-5, 2R, RBI
• Hood 2-5, 2B, RBI
It is possible to win back-to-back games at home. See how Potomac did it for just the second time this season, Last Night In Woodbridge
Hagerstown 6 Delmarva 5
• Grace (W, 7-4) 6IP, 5H, 3R, 2ER, 4BB, 2K, HR
• Eusebio (H, 6) 2IP, 0H, 0R, BB, K
• Kelso 3-5, RBI
• Harper 2-5, R
• Newsome 2-3, 2RBI
With a 6-5 win over the Delmarva Shorebirds, the Hagerstown Suns lowered their magic number to clinch a division title to eight with nine games left in the first half. Matt Grace tied for the Sally League lead in wins with his 7th on the strength of six innings pitched with three runs allowed on five hits and for walks. The trio of Blake Kelso combined to go 7-for-13 as the Shorebirds stayed in the game by turning four double plays to offset the Suns 13 hits and two walks drawn. Wilson Eusebio earned the hold with two scoreless innings while Ben Graham survived a rocky ninth inning (two runs allowed on three hits) to "get" the save.
DSL Yankees1 7 DSL Nationals 5 (10 inn.)
• Navarro 3⅓ IP, 4H, 4R, 4ER, BB, 4K
• Guzman 3⅔ IP, 1H, 0R, 2BB, 6K
• Mercedes 2-4
• Eusebio 3-4, R, 2B, HR, 3RBI
Diomedes Eusebio's RBI single (his third hit and third RBI) in the bottom of the ninth tied it for the D-Nats, but Inocencio Heredia was pushed one inning too far as the DSL Yankees1 answered with two in the top of the tenth to give them a 7-5 loss. Miguel Navarro's 2011 debut was a rocky one, with four runs given up on four hits and a walk over three and a 1/3rd innings. Yermin Mercedes was second to Eusebio in the hit column with a 2-for-4 game.
10 Responses to "Saturday's News & Notes"
Anyone have any word on draft pick signings? When does the GCL and NYP league start their season?
Expect a boatload of signings to be announced in the next week to 10 days. The Nationals drafted a lot of College seniors this year to fill rosters.
Check the Draft Tracker (the link is on the right of this page, under "Resources") for updates, in case you miss updates here in the posts.
Wow, 14 hits in 5+ innings; Meyers is going to have a couple of sleepless nights over this.
Hope Lehman gets back to his 'lights out' closing groove after losing some rust. we basically got Roark for free, but AA seems too high for him.
Mark L: Meyers has some weakness for giving up the long-ball in the past, but last night was just a bad outing, imo. Both Roark & Tatusko were very steady at the AA level last year (Fresno & Harrisburg). This year, not so much.
The thing about Tatusko, BinM, is he gained about 4-5 mph on his fastball after the trade, which really had a lot of people thinking much better things for him.
We gave up a bag of used baseballs to get him & Roark, so any criticism has to be tempered.
I agree, the Nationals gave up the so-called 'bag of used baseballs' (Guzman) for two pitchers who helped Harrisburg into the playoffs last year. I don't mean to sound critical, but they are both underachieving in my eyes this year.
Meyers does not look like Meyers … have to wonder if like Kimball the injury bug hasn't bitten yet again. He lost an entire year to the foot so one wonders if he isn't hiding something in order to avoid that disappointing fate?
Last night a lot of hits between infield and outfield…a pitch-to-contact in AA worked well for Meyers but doesn't seem to apply at this level…flukey hits and only 3 were hit hard (one home run)….an adjustment, but confident Meyers will figure it out…

A Q&A with Aussie craft queen Pip Lincolne
What were the first crafts you learned to do?
I started sewing and knitting when I was very small, about four or five. I still love to sew, but knitting has fallen by the wayside in favour of crochet! I love to crochet!
Everyone in my family was pretty nifty with their hands, so I think I was just born into a DIY life. I forget that not everyone grew up like that, so I am often really surprised when people ask me about my crafty ways. I always took them for granted and can not imagine being any other way!
How easy did you find it writing your second and third books compared to the first?
Sew La Tea Do was a much easier book to write in some ways, because it was all my own projects. With my first book, Meet Me At Mike's, I had the big responsibility of making sure that the crafters featured were profiled in a way which would make them happy. I had to review, test and rewrite their projects into the same kind of consistent language to make the book work, so that was a bit nerve-wracking.
My new book - my third- Make Hey While the Sun Shines was even more fun to make, as the multi-craft format meant that I could have a lot of fun and design and write really varied projects. I love Make Hey!
What crafting books have inspired you?
I make no secret of the fact that I love vintage craft books. I really love the Golden Hands series, anything that Readers Digest published back in the '70s and '80s and all those cute collectable craft magazine series which you often find in the thrift store. I also love lots of contemporary crafters too. I love Amy Karol's book, Bend The Rules Sewing. I also love anything by Lotta Jansdotter, Erika Knight, Alicia Paulson, Dottie Angel, Joelle Hoverson... and pretty much anything crafty released by Chronicle Books.
What's your creative process behind a project - do you have the idea first, or the materials?
I always start with an idea, and usually that's a practical idea. It might be that I want to design a modern quilt that will look great in a boy's room and not be too conventional, or maybe I'll want to find a way to stow all those pesky things in the bathroom, or perhaps a cute wall art solution for rented apartments. I want to make sure there is a place for the things I make. I don't like making things just for the sake of it (as much as I love making!). I want to be sure that the making is useful, practical or needed.
Once I work out what I need to make, I will do some sketches and then mock something up to see how it's all going to fit together and work out the simplest and best way to construct whatever I am making. After that I gather final materials and make the final item!
Your book looks beautiful, how important was the look and feel to you?
It's super important to me that my books reflect who I am, and also reflect a really joyful, fun attitude to craft. I really want to convert everyone to a crafty life, and I want to showcase cute ideas and nice times for those who are already living a handmade life. I think that making things should be part of everyone's life, so I try and make sure that the books are full of inspiring images and irresistible projects.
How do you feel now crafting is becoming so popular - and do you think it will last?
Oh I think it's so great! I think that the recession has shone a light on more conscious living: slowing down, being thrifty, reconnecting with skills we might previously have eschewed in favor of a convenient flash of the credit card. I think we're tightening our belts and rethinking the way we do things. Some of us have been living like this all along, and others are more recent, excited converts.
For sure, there are people who will pick craft up and put it back down again. But there are also others who will have their approach to life changed forever, when they realise how great it is to change pace, create bespoke pieces and take control of your life in a handmade kind of way. Life is much richer when you make things, I think.
Finally, we love your "sewing playlist" - what are your top five?
Oh my top five changes so often! Here are today's top five, but know that tomorrow's might be different!
1. Video Games by Lana Del Rey
2. Wandering Limbs by Kimbra
3. Rolling in the Deep by Adele
4. Sylvie by Saint Etienne
5. Edge of Seventeen by Fleetwood Mac
Make Hey While the Sun Shines by Pip Lincolne is published by Hardie Grant

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is calling all area youths to the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge to participate in the 2013 fall waterfowl hunt.
And just how any huntsman would have it, the registration will come in the form of competition.
Due to a limited amount of space on the refuge, youth hunters are urged to apply to be placed into a random drawing for one of the up to eight hunting sites that will be created throughout the wetlands of the Turnbull Refuge for the fourth annual hunt.
The two-day hunt, which will coincide with the state youth waterfowl season usually during the...

Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 on pre-order in Australia, should ship in April
While customers over in the UK might be able to get their hands on the new Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 starting this month, Australian customers won't be that lucky.
MobiCity has the new Galaxy (the 16GB version) on pre-order now for 899 Australian dollars – about 910 USD (that may be a lot, but it's actually a price lower than the one listed by UK retailer Clove).
MobiCity says the Galaxy S II will be shipped in April, so it may take well over a moth until you get it, even if you pre-order it right away.
It's not clear if the Galaxy S II that will reach Australia uses Samsung's Exynos processor, or Nvidia's Tegra 2. Either way, it will be one of the hottest smartphones to hit the southern hemisphere this autumn (yes, it's autumn there now, you know?)

I'm having a really hard time solving
$$xy'' + 2y' + 4xy = 0$$
I basically tried a lot of substitutions and series but couldn't find it. I realize this isn't as hard as I make it out to be so I'm assuming there is a certain trick that I am not seeing.
Thanks in advance!

STANFORD, Calif. – A late Stanford rally was not enough to overcome an early deficit Sunday, falling to No. 1/1 Oregon in the series finale, 7-2.
The Cardinal (27-21, 3-15 Pac-12) was held hitless through the first five innings but broke through in the sixth and seventh innings with a series of sustained offense. However, the late surge was not quite enough to close the seven-run lead the Ducks (44-5, 17-1 Pac-12) built through the first five innings.
Cheridan Hawkins (27-3) made her second appearance of the series for the Ducks, allowing two runs on five hits, walking three and striking out eight. Hawkins did not allow a hit until the bottom of the sixth inning.
Kayla Bonstrom continued to pace Stanford offensively, going 1-for-4 with two RBI. She finished the Oregon series 5-for-10 with three doubles, two RBI and a .800 slugging-percentage.
Kylie Sorenson, Hanna Winter, Kaitlin Schaberg and Tylyn Wells recorded a hit apiece.
Wells (2-3) got the start in the circle for the Cardinal and allowed four runs on three hits and four walks in 2.0 innings. Madi Schreyer came in as relief in fourth inning and finished the game strong, allowing one run on three hits and two walks, and striking out five.
Oregon got on the board in the second inning when Courtney Ceo bounced a grounder to second base that Schaberg was unable to handle, scoring Jasmine Smithson-Willett from third.
The Ducks continued to roll in the third inning with all nine batters making a plate appearance and posting five runs to take a 6-0 lead. Oregon added an additional run in the top of the fifth inning on a successful first-and-third double-steal to take a 7-0 advantage.
Stanford found its offensive rhythm in the bottom of the sixth inning when Leah White led off with a walk, followed by an RBI-double to right-center by Bonstrom. Sorenson followed with a single and moved Bonstrom to third. However, the rally was quickly halted when Hawkins retired the next three batters.
The Cardinal continued to pressure in the bottom of the seventh when Winter, Schaberg and Wells delivered consecutive singles to load the bases to start the inning. Stanford pushed a run across on a fielder's choice by Bonstrom but was unable to sustain the rally.
The road does not get any easier for the Cardinal as it plays a midweek game on Wednesday at Saint Mary's before traveling to No. 2/2 UCLA for a three-game set. Friday's game at UCLA will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks, while Saturday's will be on ESPNU and Sunday's on ESPN.

Hey, remember these things? Everyone made them in grade school, and used them to tell fortunes like "You will get a bad grade today" or "You will go on a long trip." They are easy to make, mysterious, and kids love to make them and use them on each other. All you need is a paper and a pen and you have at your disposal a toy that will entertain the kids until dinner arrives, the movie starts, or whatever it is you're waiting for.
First, you'll need a square sheet of paper.
Hey, that's not a square piece of paper! Ha, I fooled you! I used a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, which you can turn into a square by folding corner to corner then cutting off the excess 2.5 inches that hangs out of the triangle, like so:
Now get ready to fold! Lay the paper flat on the table (I decorated one side so you can tell it from the other in these instructions), then fold it in one direction to make a rectangle:
Unfold, lay it flat, fold it going the other way so the second line is perpendicular to the first, unfold again and lay flat. You don't need these folds, just their creases:
Flip the page over. Now you have at least two lines crossing in the paper's center. Start folding in the four corners of the square until their points meet in the center.
When you get done, it looks like this:
Now flip it over again.
Start folding in the corners of this smaller square. It gets a little thick; that's okay. When you are done, it looks like this:
Fold the thick square in half, then in half again, until it looks like this.
Unfold those last two folds; you need the creases but not the folds. And now you have your cootie catcher shape: A thick square with four flaps on the outside.
You use two hands to operate it. One thumb and pointer finger goes on one side; the thumb and pointer on the other hand go on the other side. I had to use one hand to take this picture, so imagine I have two hands going on this one:
At first the cootie catcher will be stiff and hard to work but as you open it one way, close it, and then open it the other way, it will loosen up. Now you want to write your fortune pointers. First, four on the outside flaps. Something like animals, numbers, colors.
Then something on each triangle of the thick square of cootie catcher as you lay it flat on the table. I chose colors. And other stuff.
Finally, open up all the folds of the cootie catcher and write a fortune in each of the little triangles at each of the paper's points. I like writing fortunes that confuse people like "NO!!" or "God called, he's disappointed in you." Violet prefers nice fortunes like "You will get an A on the test" or "Someone will give you a piece of candy."
Whatever fortune you choose, start by asking your victim-I-mean-subject to choose one selection from the outside of the cootie catcher. Then move the cootie catcher open one way, shut, open the other way, shut, once for each letter in the word. The subject then chooses from the inside selections, you move the cootie catcher open and shut, he chooses one more time and you lift the flap to see his fortune.
So mysterious! At least, until you explain to your subject how to make his own. And he'll ask. Believe me, he'll ask.

Bio and Links
I started doing full photographic inventories of cemeteries in St. Lawrence county NY back in 1999 and have about 175 cemeteries inventoried and online on my home page (see link below). I have copied the listings over to find-a-grave and am working on getting all the photos uploaded here as well. Its a slow process, so if you don't find what you are looking for here, check to see if I have it on my other site. Please don't add the pictures from my website to find-a-grave yourself. If you find a picture on my site that you would like added to find-a-grave, just send me an email or leave me a message and I'll be happy to add them.
I lived most of my life in the Washington DC area where I have taken photos for about 8 years. I recently moved to Colorado to be closer to my family, but still try to get back to the DC area every now and then. However, I am no longer participating in filling requests in Arlington. Over the last three - four years it has become quite unpleasant due to a couple other "volunteers", which was a major factor in finally convincing me to move from the DC area. I will still be visiting Arlington and photographing markers as often as I can get there. Currently, I'm trying to get a few hundred photos added for markers in the cemetery each week from photos I have taken previously . I just won't be claiming requests there since I can no longer deal with the harassment and I want to regain the feeling of dignity and serenity that I used to have each time I walked into the cemetery. It is one of the most honorable, respectful, serene, and to me, sacred locations in the world .
If you would like to take-over ownership of any memorials I've created for your family members just let me know. I'd be happy to transfer them to you, but please realize that in general, edits can be made by using the edit tab on the memorial without any need for transfer of management. That said, while in the past I never turned down a transfer request, recent actions on some memorials I transferred have caused me to very rarely decline a transfer. I may decline when the requester republishes recent obituaries without permission from the publisher (in violation of item 3 of the site "Terms of Service"), creates duplicate or burial unknown memorials (in violation of the site rules), or adds inappropriate biographies which to me include biographies that are NOT about the person, but solely about their husband, ancestors, graphic details of their death, or about the history of the plane/ship/etc they served on.

Thanks for the info. I see it now. It is up the road from the Gates Cemetery where Antwerp Road and Fort Drum Road meet and a river is behind the cemetery.

This is a discussion on Beltman: excellent workmanship within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Just received a pair of belts that I ordered on August 12, from The BeltMan (aka, chief cook & bottle washer, Jim Speidel). Belt #1: ...
Just received a pair of belts that I ordered on August 12, from The BeltMan (aka, chief cook & bottle washer, Jim Speidel).
Belt #1: 1-1/2" double-layer bullhide, tapered end, no insert, tan w/ nickel buckle.
Belt #2: 1-1/2" double-layer bullhide, tapered end, no insert, black w/ black buckle.
Very nice workmanship. Basic, strong stitches. No extraneous embellishments, so they're a good value. Solid-looking and -feeling leather. Holds each of my holsters tightly against the body and don't allow sagging (Fist #2 OWB, Fist #17A-1 IWB, BladeTech paddle, Simply Rugged's sourdough pancake). These belts should last quite a while. Another belt I have is from Kramer Leather. Though these two are not quite as heavy as the Kramer belt in either thickness or weight, they each are a bit more comfortable and work well. Nice bonus to have received them in less than a month.

Beltman definitely makes a great product. I will be ordering more belts from him in the future. You can't beat it, enjoy your new belts!
Very nice!
I too have a belt by the BeltMan and enjoy using it. I'm impressed with his work and quality.
Another Beltman convert. I have a 1.25 inch and love it.
Beautiful belts! And mighty nice pictures, too.
Nice looking belts. Glad to hear that you found Jim (TheBeltMan). I had the same experience as well. You'll most likely never need to buy another belt.
Jim's belts are without a doubt, the best!!! I am a proud owner of 5 of them!

Yep... I have a 1.5 inch double layer bullhide. Best belt I own!
And a perfect match for any custom holster you may have.
I definitely see more Beltman Gunbelts in my future!

Nice looking belts. I'm sold on them too, I recently got a 1 1/4" double bull hide and it's great.

I have two beltman belts also. Very fine belts. Great price also for the Quality of the workman ship.
Nice looking leather...I'm going to have to search the Beltman out...I'm in need of new leather...

(Even a choice of "hole spacing" on the end of the belt!)
Btw... I think the Black Powder Coated Square Buckle looks great! Very durable finish so far!

I have a 1.5" double bullhide and LOVE it. Very well made and sturdy.
I bought a belt from Gunners Alley a while back and it looks exactly like the belts in the picture. Does The Belt Man make those belts for them?

text: Ferrari has worked hard over the past several years at differentiating its products from each other. Where its lineup once consisted principally of mid-engined supercars of different sizes, today's range includes as well a front-engined GT, an all-wheel-drive shooting brake and a 2+2 hardtop cabriolet. The latter is known as the California, and while it certainly serves a purpose in Maranello's catalog, it's hardly the most heart-pumping Prancing Horse on offer.

Poori Masala is my fav since childhood days and I remember ordering it everytime we visit hotel Annaporna and now mittu takes after me :) Poori Masala is loved by all ages starting from kids to elders....This potato masala can used as stuffing for masala dosa too or can be accompanied with poori,chapathi etc.
Today lets learn how to make poori masala recipe....
Potato Masala Recipe - Ingredients
Recipe Category: Main / Sidedish | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Potato - 3
Onion -1 chopped finely
Tomato - 1 small chopped roughly
Green chillies - 1 chopped finely
Turmeric powder - a generous pinch
Salt - to taste
To temper:Oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Urad Dal / Channa Dal - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - few
- Pressure cook potatoes with water until soft. Cool it, peel off the skin and smash it up. Keep aside.Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, urad dal allow it to crackle then add curry leaves and green chillies fry for a minute. Then add onion saute till slightly browned.
- Then add tomato and saute till tomatoes raw smell leaves. Add 3/4 cup water, turmeric powder, required salt and allow it to boil...Now add the mashed potatoes and mix well.
- Add required salt, give a quick stir. Allow it to get nicely blended when it all comes together as a mass to a semi thick consistency, Garnish with coriander leaves and switch it off.
My Notes:
- If you prefer you can add a tsp of gram flour to make the masal thick.
- You can also add a tsp of finely chopped ginger while tempering. It not only enhances the flavour it also helps for digestion and gastric issues.
- You can skip tomato and add veggies like peas, carrot etc.

Cross Country / A Memoir of France
4: C'est tout tout?
By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2011 Paul Ben-Itzak
Chercher la femme
"Girls who travel the metro
Stroking white mice they carry in their pockets
Lost in a day dream."
-- Malcolm McLaren, "Paris."
Hand in hand with melancholy as the two dominant French moods is 'joie de vivre,' often associated with food. I've stalled trying to get into this subject because on first glance it doesn't seem so profound as the rest of the subjects I hope to treat in this memoir. But in fact, in France the food thing is not just a foodie thing -- as it has become, say, in my hometown of San Francisco, a temple for worship of cuisine. Food in France is not just about sustenance, nor is it about hedonist enjoyment or making food paramount above all other things, as sometimes seems the case in San Francisco. Rather it's about appreciation and savoring -- savoring not just the savories but every moment, every function, ritualizing eating to elevate it from routine, so that it's not just about putting fuel in the body, but injecting art into everyday living.
One morning during my first visit to Paris, living in the 13eme arrondissement, I decided to go for a jog. Running up the rue Glaciere, above my flat on the Square Albin Cachot, at the Boulevard August Blanqui I ran smack dab into the outdoor market and two humungous men in white aprons stirring a humungous vat of something in a bechemel sauce, the large metal pot matching their own circumference. They almost sang as they hawked the stew. This would become my favorite market for the way it meandered up the steep street towards the Place d'Italie. During the Sunday market, members of various Leftist parties and labor unions would hawk their journals, thus injecting a classic French political flavor into the mundane outing of stocking up on provisions.
On this first stay in Paris, I fell in love with two market vendeuses, one for the way she didn't just say "C'est tout?" after I had picked out a large head of red-tipped lettuce and a bunch of green onions from the vegetable and fruit stand she manned, but "C'est tout tout?," fanning out her hands to indicate "Is that it?"; the other for the winsome and sultry way she sighed regretfully, in English, "It's too bad you're returning to the States tomorrow" the last time we talked before I left Paris that first time.
In my feeble French -- did I mention I didn't speak any before I went there? -- and after being primed on the proper phrase ("Voulez-vous prendre un cafe avec moi?", Would you like to have coffee with me?) I made a rendez-vous with the vegetable stand woman, a.k.a. "C'est tout tout?" She proposed that I meet her at 'Le tabac" after the market wrapped up, and when I looked perplexed, pantomimed dragging on a cigarette to indicate that she meant the bar / cigarette stand up the street, Le Celtic. She didn't show and, again with the aid of my French friends, I left a note with her colleague at the stand asking if we'd peut-etre had a mal compris, a misunderstanding, the first of many peut-etre mal comprises I would have with French women over the next decade.
The second vendeuse, the one who regretted that I was leaving France was named Mur. When I returned to Paris to live eight months later -- my first visit was in the fall of 2000, the return in July 2001 -- I rushed to the market on the Blvd. August Blanqui to announce that I was back... and she was blase, apparently more comfortable in regret than realization. Later that year, seeking her out for another effort, emboldened to just ask her out despite her nonchalant veneer, I learned from the jolly towering French-Caribbean man who ran the stand -- which sold fried okra and dips -- that Mur was hospitalized with a cancerous tumor, leaving me to wallow in my own regret that I had not brazened it out and just asked her out earlier. Several years later she re-surfaced at the stand. My joy at finding her again was tempered by the simple impersonal "Hello" with which she greeted me. Of course it could have been that I didn't interest her, or that I had not loomed as large in her story as she had in mine. But there was a certain sad resignation in her aspect, in her regard -- in effect, the melancholy, the undercurrent that is always there in Paris pulling at us all, Parisians and Parisiennes alike, but that seems sadder in the latter.

College Hockey:ECAC Committee Delays Final Approval on Changes
CENTERVILLE, Mass. — The ECAC Policy Committee, the body in charge of granting final approval to a 34-game league schedule, decided during a conference call today to table a final decision until Oct. 1. The delay will allow the Policy Committee members to meet face-to-face amongst themselves and league athletic directors at the annual ECAC AD Convention.
Two months ago, conference athletic directors gave their stamp of approval to increasing the games limit from 32 to the NCAA-standard 34. They also approved the addition of an extra weekend of conference tournament games, in order to facilitate the expansion of the tournament to include all 12 league teams.
Both decisions were made pending approval of the Policy Committee, an oversight body comprised of non-sports representatives from each league school. Given the unprecedented cooperation among Ivy and non-Ivy League athletic directors, passage from the Policy Committee has been expected.
Is this delay an indication that those proposals are in jeopardy?
Not necessarily, said ECAC assistant commissioner Steve Hagwell, who said the delay was inspired more by a desire to meet face-to-face.
"Certainly there were some concerns [during the conference call] on the significance of these proposals," said Hagwell. "But, also, these people haven't gotten together in some time. Many of them have never met.
"The last issue they had to decide was in 1998, on whether to go to a 10-team tournament. They conducted that vote via e-mail. …
"I'm optimistic that, given the two months we now have, and the face-to-face opportunity the ADs will have … they will come to that meeting and have their questions already answered, and see that it's in the best intersts of league."
The increase in the games limit was a source of great optimism, given that the 12 ADs agreed on the proposal unanimously, even though Ivy League schools would still be limited to 29 games.
The question is whether this spirit of cooperation, and desire to "do what's best for the league," is shared by the non-sports representatives.
"One [Ivy League committee member] said that on the [conference] call," Hagwell said. "They said, 'We don't want to get into a situation where we create a divide, us vs. them.'
"So, they're well aware of that desire to have this league function as a league."

What's Coming Up - Coming off a loss at Denver and Minnesota Sunday, the Arizona gymnastics team (3-4, 0-2 Pac-10) returns to the sweet confines of the McKale Center for its second-consecutive tri-meet of season when the Wildcats battle the California Golden Bears (1-3, 0-3 Pac-10) and the Southern Utah Thunderbirds (1-2) on Friday, Feb. 4, at 7:30 p.m. Arizona has a 3-1 record at home, and the Wildcats are in search of their first Pac-10 win this season. After an impressive 194.025-188.100 win over the San Jose State Spartans last Friday in McKale Center, Arizona traveled to Denver and finished in third with a 192.900--the second-highest meet total of the season--behind Minnesota (194.525) and Denver (194.375). The Wildcats once again will look to sophomore Randi Liljenquist, freshman Nikki Beyschau and senior All-American Heidi Hornbeek to provide solid leadership and experience in all four events and the all-around.
On the opponent side, California is 1-3 after last weekend's loss to Oregon State. The Golden Bears scored their highest team total of the season with a 192.000, and the team's beam score of 48.350 is the fourth-highest in California history. Southern Utah grabbed its first win of the year Monday night and upped its record to 1-2 after defeating Texas Women's University, 189.975-184.775.
Head Coach Bill Ryden Says... - "We came out flat on beam and floor at Denver, and we had some uncharacteristic falls on beam by people who never fall. But, I am not disappointed with our performance because earning such a high away score will help us at the end of the season."
Coach Ryden on this week's meet - "Both Cal and Southern Utah are good programs that are capable of scoring, and the meet will be a good challenge. Heidi Hornbeek is getting better everyday, and she is really anxious to get back at full speed. There is a good chance that she will compete on vault, as well as bars."
Arizona's Last Action - The University of Arizona women's gymnastics team finished in third place with a score of 192.900 behind No. 15 Minnesota (194.525) and No. 12 Denver (194.375), Sunday in front of a crowd of 900, in Denver's Hamilton Gymnasium. Arizona dropped to 3-4 overall, remaining winless on the road, while Denver improved to 5-2, and Minnesota upped its record to 3-2 on the season.
The Wildcats (3-4 overall, 0-2 Pac-10) set a season-high 48.125 on vault, and senior All-American Heidi Hornbeek tied for first place on bars for her second-consecutive bars title. Seven Wildcat gymnasts set or tied career-high and season-high marks.
Individually for the Wildcats, All-American Heidi Hornbeek tied her season-high 9.850 on bars and tied for first place in her only event of the meet. Hornbeek, a seven-time All-Pac-10 selection, won her second bars title for the second-consecutive meet after taking first place Friday night against San Jose State.
Senior Gretchen Diaz scored a season-high 9.575 on vault and a season-high 9.650 on beam (tied for ninth place), while junior Nicci Filchner tied a career-high 9.675 on bars. Junior Kara Fry, Arizona's top finisher in the all-around, set a season-high 9.725 on beam (tied for sixth place), and she also set a season-high 38.775 for a fifth-place finish in the all-around.
Sophomore Randi Liljenquist tied a career-high 9.650 on vault and tied for ninth place, and she tied for fifth on floor with a 9.800. Freshman Nikki Beyschau tied for fourth on bars with a 9.775, while sophomore Emily Peterman scored a season-high 9.650 on beam (tied for ninth place). Junior Heather Straccia recorded a career-high 9.650 on vault and tied for ninth in the event.
About the California Bears - California (1-3, 0-3 Pac-10) is coming off a season-high team total 192.000 in a loss at home to Oregon State. The Golden Bears defeated Seattle Pacific in the first meet of the year, but they have fallen since to Washington, Arizona State and Oregon State. Junior Pari Olver scored a career-high 9.800 on beam, placing second, while senior Leila Khoury finished in third against Oregon State. Khoury also placed second in the all-around with a career-high 39.050. Freshman Janet McKnight scored a 9.750 on bars--a California season best.
Head coach Trina Tinti (UCLA, 1988) is in her third season at the helm of the Golden Bear program and has a career and school record of 15-27. In 1999, California finished in seventh place in the conference and was 6-15 overall. The 2000 squad consists of six out of 12 letterwinners from last year's team and eight newcomers.
About the Southern Utah Thunderbirds - Southern Utah (1-2) gained its first win of the year Monday with a 189.975-184.775 win over Texas Women's University. This week's meet marks the first meeting between the Thunderbirds and the Wildcats. Southern Utah recorded season highs on vault (48.425) and floor (48.175) in their last meet. Freshman Sarah Geisler scored a career-high 9.750 on vault for a share of the event title, and she finished in second on floor with a career-best 9.700. Junior Suzi Clark scored a 38.300 in the all-around and finished with top honors in the event, while junior Heather Slack finished in first on beam (9.675) and floor (9.725).
Head coach Scott Bauman (Utah State, 1990) is in his ninth season at the helm of the Thunderbird program, and he carries a 57-74 career and school record into Friday's meet. Bauman's 1999 squad finished 1-12 overall, and the 2000 team returns six out of nine letterwinners from last year's team.
Liljenquist's Leadership - Although the Wildcats experienced some growing pains in the early part of the season, sophomore sensation Randi Liljenquist has paced Arizona with consistent performances. She underwent voluntary elbow surgery last summer because she wanted a chance to compete on vault and in the all-around. Liljenquist has posted 10 top-five finishes so far this season, and she has won five first-place titles in the first four meets. Against Denver and Minnesota on Jan. 30, Liljenquist tied a career-high 9.650 on vault, and she tied for fifth place on floor with a 9.800. Liljenquist scored a career-high 39.125 in the all-around on Jan. 28 against San Jose State, winning the second all-around title of her career for the second week in a row. She scored a career-high 9.650 on vault (fourth place), and she tied her career-high 9.825 on bars (second place). Liljenquist took the beam title with a 9.750 and closed out the meet with a career-high 9.900 on floor and a first place finish--giving her the sixth event title of her career. At Stanford on Jan. 21, she scored a 38.825 in the all-around and won her first all-around competition, tied her season-high 9.800 on beam for a second-place finish, and she landed in third place on floor with a 9.750. Liljenquist hit a 9.600 in her collegiate debut on vault against UCLA, Central Michigan and Iowa (1/14), and she shared first-place honors on floor with senior Kiernan Andrews, each scoring a 9.850.
Fabulous Freshman - Arizona's lone freshman Nikki Beyschau has lifted the Wildcats' team performance with consistent scores in each event, including the all-around, and she holds Arizona's top individual scores on vault (9.775) and bars (9.900). In the Denver and Minnesota meet on Jan. 30, Beyschau tied for fourth place on bars with a 9.775. She scored a career-high 9.700 on beam (second place) and a career-high 9.825 on floor (second place) against San Jose State (1/28). She also set a career-high 39.000 in the all-around for another second-place finish. She tied for second on vault (9.675) and finished in third on bars (9.800). Against Stanford (1/21), Beyschau scored a career-high 9.900 on bars and tied for top honors in the event, winning her first event title. In her collegiate debut against UCLA (1/14), Beyschau tied for fifth place on both vault (9.775) and bars (9.750) and was Arizona's top finisher in the all-around with a 38.425.
All-American Heidi Hornbeek - Senior Heidi Hornbeek is back for her fifth year to help lead the team to its first NCAA Championship berth in four years. Hornbeek has seen limited action for the first four weeks of the season due to a nagging ankle injury and has been able to compete solely on bars. Against Denver and Minnesota, Hornbeek tied her season-high 9.850 on bars and tied for first place in the event, winning her second bars title of the season for the second consecutive meet. In her only event of the evening against San Jose State (1/28), Hornbeek returned to action, taking the bars event title with a season-high 9.850. The fifth-year senior did not compete at Stanford (1/21) the week before, and she also saw limited action against UCLA (1/14) where she scored a 9.700 on bars in her only event of the meet. Hornbeek, a six-time All-America selection and a seven-time All-Pac-10 honoree, returned to the Arizona lineup in 1999 after undergoing major shoulder surgery and racked up 32 impressive top-five finishes, including 12 first-place titles. She competed in 10 meets as an all-around performer and was the only Wildcat gymnast to reach the NCAA Championships after qualifying as the top at-large seed in the all-around. Hornbeek received All-America honors in the uneven bars, balance beam and all-around events at the 1999 NCAA Championships.

"The Walking Dead" season 4 finally returned and fans have a lot of questions on what will happen next. One of those questions has to do with Glenn. Before the break he wasn't looking too good. He was starting to recover from the flu when the Governor attacked the prison. Unable to fight and barely able to hold himself up, he was left on the bus while everyone else scrambled. Some viewers are worried that Glenn may not make it to the end of season 4. On Feb. 9, Entertainment Weekly reported on what actor Steven Yeun had to say about the future of his character.
A preview of episode 10 along with photographs that have been released show that Glenn still isn't in the best condition. He appears to be laying on a slab of concrete, high enough to where the walkers can't reach him. Perhaps a roof of a building. He has a wound to his forehead and on the preview he turned around and screamed for Maggie. Could he be delirious or confused? The last that fans saw was Glenn on the bus and Maggie running across the prison courtyard looking for baby Judith. Other spoilers have indicated that they are separated. So he either isn't thinking clearly or perhaps they find each other quickly.
So what is the future of Glenn? He is still sick, he looks wounded and doesn't seem to be thinking straight. Steven Yeun said,
"I think we can't count him out. He's a man of action, and he's a man of heart, and I think you should expect what you normally expect from Glenn. He definitely has a lot of things up against him, but Glenn is tough and I think the word that I could always use for Glenn is resilient."
It sounds like Glenn may make it to the end of "The Walking Dead" season 4, which will be a relief to his fans. But will he find Maggie and the others? What other obstacles will he face out there in a world taken over by zombies?
