"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." This is week thirty-seven of the Pancakes & French Fries William Morris Project, happening every thursday in 2012.
Several years ago, I bought this painting at an estate sale silent auction. When I saw it, I immediately bid on it, simply because I loved the frame. I figured it was worth it. When I brought it home, my husband was very confused. "Tell me again, why did you buy a ripped painting?" he asked as I busied myself with properly hanging it up in the living room. I loved it. The rips didn't bother me, in fact, they just added to the age and character of the piece. Fast forward a few kids and a couple moves later, the quaint rips have become gaping holes, and the small bit of research I have done suggests the painting and frame are worth restoring.
I am not an art conservator, yet. After getting some initial estimates, I've decided to become one.
By all accounts, the restoration of an oil painting is a lengthy and tedious process, so I will take it one step at a time. This should allow a few weeks at least to ingest the necessary chemistry and art history needed to certify myself qualified to do the job. I will major in Art Conservation the Good Will Hunting way.
Step one: a work surface.I was given an awesome workbench from a friend, so I set about clearing a space for it in the garage.
The workbench was clear for exactly one afternoon of play before it was covered with stuff again.
To motivate myself, I ordered some oil painting conditioner from BL Haymond Supply, to soften the brittle canvas. This will allow me to flatten it out, and reline the back of it, so that the tears can be mended and inpainted from the front.
For starters, there are a few dozen mason jars full of fasteners that are currently mounted to strips of wood and sitting on the work surface. I made a plan to reattach the jars to one larger piece of wood, and hang it above the window, out of the way, but easy to reach. I found this great plank of wood in the basement.
I used a few scraps to hang a support system from the rafters. This will serve double duty as a wood rack for all my random pieces of trim that are laying around. The new mason jar board will hang from the shelf supports. I say will, because I didn't finish it. The plan was to have everything done and photographed today, but life happens and I needed to watch White Collar and eat ice cream last night instead. Sorry! I do have a plan though, and since it is halfway done, I am way more likely to finish it!
Bet your bottom dollar my garage will look like this soon:
The goal is to have a work surface that I can reline my painting upon, and a garage that is easy to navigate. The first step is always the hardest, right? I sure hope so.

4th Quarter 2011 Commentary - ASTON/River Road Select Value Fund
4th Quarter 2011
One of the Most Volatile Years on Record
Stocks soared during the fourth quarter as investors responded to both improving U.S. economic trends and a series of actions taken by the European Central Bank intended to stabilize that region's financial markets. Small-cap stocks led the rally, with the Russell 2000 Index gaining more than 15% versus just under 12% for the more large-cap oriented S&P 500 Index. For the full year 2011, however, large-cap stocks outperformed—with the S&P 500 and Russell 1000 indices posting modest gains versus a 4% loss for the Russell 2000. The Fund's Russell 2500 Value Index benchmark dropped 3.4%. This marks the first year since 2007 that large-caps outperformed small-caps.
It was also a remarkably volatile year, with indices posting some of their best AND worst quarterly returns on record. According to Ned Davis Research, the trailing 100-day volatility of the S&P 500 was at a level only seen three times (1987, 2002, and 2009) since the 1930s. In addition, the 12 downward corrections of at least 5% experienced by the Dow Jones Industrial Average during 2011 was nearly double the long-term average. Among other major asset classes, US Treasury Bonds was the best performing for 2011, followed by Gold—last year's leading asset class.
From a style perspective, growth outperformed value during 2011 among the component parts of the Russell 2500. This marks the third consecutive year that growth outperformed value. Defense was the best offense with Utilities and Consumer Staples posting the highest total returns, while Telecommunications and Technology posted the lowest. Leadership transitioned to low-beta (volatility) and high-quality stocks—a stark contrast from the prior two years. Within the Russell 2500 Value, the lowest beta stocks (first quintile) outgained the highest beta (fifth quintile) by a staggering 29 percentage points. From a quality perspective, stocks in the highest quintile for return-on-equity (ROE) returned nearly 21 percentage points more than stocks in the lowest ROE quintile.
Another leadership theme during 2011 was dividends. According to BofA/Merrill Lynch analyst Savita Subramanian, dividend yield was the top performing quantitative strategy in the S&P 500, while within the Russell 2500 Value, dividend-payers bested non-payers by a healthy margin for the full year.
We noted early on in 2011 that given the market's robust returns and high-beta/low-quality leadership, an unusually large percentage of small-cap value managers were outperforming the benchmark. We believe that trend reflected not only heightened equity correlations, but also that value managers had jumped on the risk bandwagon. We warned that investors and their advisors should take note of the trend, as managers that were chasing risk were likely to underperform as the market transitioned into the mid-stage of the recovery. From our perspective this occurred in 2011, with a disappointing 57% of active small-value managers outperforming in a negative return environment.
Fourth Quarter Rally
In somewhat of a reversal of the year's trend, the fourth quarter equity rally was accompanied by a resurgence in high-beta stocks, which had underperformed the previous two quarters. Value outperformed growth across all market-caps. Within the benchmark, the highest beta stocks (fifth quintile) surged ahead of the lowest beta stocks (first quintile) by 12 percentage points. Lower quality stocks (in terms of ROE) continued to lag, however. All 10 economic sectors within the benchmark posted positive total returns, with Industrials delivering the highest total return and Telecomm the lowest.
The Fund underperformed the benchmark by less than a percentage point during the fourth quarter, albeit in delivering positive double-digit absolute returns, in finishing the year well ahead of the index. Despite lagging during the quarter, the portfolio captured close to 97% of the benchmark's upside in a sharply rising market after outperforming by eight percentage points during the second and third quarter as the market transitioned away from its high-beta/low-quality bias of the past two years.
Poor stock selection in the Industrials sector and an overweight allocation to Consumer Staples were the main detractors from relative performance during the quarter. Private prison operator GEO Group was the biggest individual detractor as persistent budgetary pressures faced by its state clients weighed on the stock. Still, the company's management team believes cost savings from new privatization projects will lead to more bidding opportunities and outweigh any per-diem pricing pressures on its existing contracts. Many of its state clients need additional beds as their inmate populations continue to increase. Since the states cannot afford to build new prisons, it makes sense to outsource these services. Yet, politics, bureaucracy, and judicial intervention have led to delays or cancellations of several new contract awards. If this continues, we expect GEO to more aggressively allocate its abundant free cash-flow to shareholders through debt reduction, share repurchases, and a possible dividend. GEO continues to be a high-conviction holding within the portfolio.
Staples stocks Industrias Bachoco and Cott Corporation were also among the Fund's notable individual detractors. Bachoco is Mexico's largest chicken and second largest egg producer. Falling prices from an oversupply of chickens in Mexico has hurt revenues while sharply higher feed prices have squeezed margins. Despite these industry challenges, the firm used its strong balance sheet to make opportunistic acquisitions during the quarter, announcing a deal to acquire integrated chicken and feed producer OK Industries. We think Bachoco's dominant market share position, its integrated model, and cash-rich balance sheet will allow it to make more attractive acquisitions during the industry downturn and emerge larger and stronger when conditions improve.
Cott is the largest private label beverage company in the world and was unable to fully pass through higher commodity costs during its third quarter, negatively affecting operating margins. Management cut bonuses to offset part of the margin pressure this year but expects further commodity inflation in 2012. Unfortunately, the company is unable to hedge its largest commodity cost, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), since a futures market does not exist. We significantly trimmed the portfolio's position in Cott due to large unrealized losses.
Lastly, movie animation studio DreamWorks Animation SKG, owner of the Shrek franchise and other popular titles, disappointed. The approaching expiration of its distribution agreement with Paramount elevated investor concerns that the company may transition from an outsourced distribution model. Although self-distribution would be a significant investment, the firm would save the 8% of gross revenues paid to Paramount. We anticipated this uncertainty at the time of initial purchase and have maintained the portfolio's position in the stock.
An underweight position in Utilities and an overweight allocation to the Consumer Discretionary sector aided relative returns during the quarter. The top individual contributor was IT company NeuStar, which manages phone number portability, call routing, area codes, and the unused inventory of phone numbers in North America. The company announced the acquisition of TARGUSinfo, the largest independent provider of Caller ID information services that serves the same clients as NeuStar. Both companies employ a subscription-based business model with very similar margin and growth profiles. In our view, this acquisition optimizes NeuStar's capital structure and also reduces its dependence on its largest contract, which is up for re-bid. It remains a high-conviction holding within the portfolio.
Other notable individual contributors were Rent-A-Center and Madison Square Garden Company (MSG) within Consumer Discretionary. Rent-to-own merchandiser Rent-A-Center announced solid third quarter revenue growth and strong 2012 initial guidance. Investors reacted enthusiastically to these organic growth estimates in a difficult retail environment. MSG reported better-than-expected third quarter results driven by strong affiliate fees and advertising growth. Along with its ownership of the Garden, the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, the company operates regional sports networks and produces concerts and shows including the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. More importantly, the end of the NBA lockout after 149 days led to a new 10-year collective bargaining agreement that increased the owners' share of revenues from 43% to 50%, which should improve the financial health of the league. We maintained our assessed Absolute Value and position size in the stock during the period.
2011 Winners
Reflecting on 2011, the portfolio's best contributors were generally its largest holdings. Performance benefited from our opportunistic trading of close-out retailer Big Lots. When news reports circulated that the company was for sale and its shares rallied towards our Absolute Value, we trimmed the position. When the press reported that no transaction would occur and the stock retreated, we added back to the position as the company aggressively repurchased its shares at depressed prices. Even prior to its fourth quarter acquisition, NeuStar benefited from suggestions that it may retain its NPAC contract without significant price concessions. Ruddick posted strong results throughout 2011 in its Harris Teeter grocery segment, while the company sold its industrial thread subsidiary A&E to private equity. The proceeds will be used for debt reduction and new store development.
Looking back at the largest detractors from performance in 2011, we completely exited the Fund's position in retailer OfficeMax early in the year once it became clear that office supply spending was not going to improve in the near term. By year-end, its shares had plunged an additional 49% from the portfolio's average sale price. In August, we eliminated the position in money-market fund operator Federated Investors after the Federal Reserve's announcement that it would keep interest rates low for the foreseeable future. Shares of Federated subsequently fell further. We also significantly trimmed the investment in IT defense contractor ManTech International as the stock suffered from the threat of sizable cuts to the national defense budget. Finally, we trimmed re-insurer PartnerRe after it experienced larger than expected catastrophe losses.
Portfolio Positioning
Six new holdings were purchased and two were sold from the portfolio during the fourth quarter, both sales having reached our Absolute Value price targets. Of the new positions added, three—Hill-Rom Holdings, Hanger Orthopedic Group, and Owens & Minor—were in the Healthcare arena, with Hill-Rom the largest position of the group.
Hill-Rom is the leading manufacturer and supplier of medical beds in North America, with 70% to 75% of the market share and only Stryker as a significant competitor. Roughly 40% of the firm's revenues are recurring, derived from bed rentals, maintenance services, and healthcare IT software. The average life cycle for a bed frame is 12 to 13 years, thus only 8% of beds are up for renewal each year, dampening the potential volatility of its financial results. The biggest risks for the firm are the overhang from future healthcare spending austerity measures and the financial strength of its clients. In an environment of potentially weak capital equipment budgets, Hill-Rom must demonstrate to its customers that its new products can save money and improve clinical outcomes. The stock was trading at a 26% discount to our assessed Absolute Value at the time of purchase.
Investors are facing many of the same challenges today as in early 2011—a European debt crisis, a weak housing market, sustained high unemployment, and tensions in the Middle East. Thus, it would make sense to expect more of the same from stocks in 2012, as many analysts do. The landscape, however, appears different to us than it did in early 2011—it looks far better! We think small-cap stocks are attractively priced.
A key difference is valuation. At the beginning of 2011, we noted that according to our Absolute Value approach, "small-cap stocks [were] fully valued." By other, more traditional measures (such as price/earnings and price/sales) they were expensive. Today, valuations are attractive by both our proprietary and other fundamental measures. The driver for this change is that during the past 12 months small-caps returned single-digit losses while earnings grew by double-digits.
Another key difference is market leadership. In early 2011, high-beta/low-quality stocks continued to lead the market, which is typical in the early stage of a recovery. When valuations are stretched, however, high-beta/low-quality leadership presents an unattractive risk/reward scenario. We believed that as the Federal Reserve's second round of quantitative easing began to wind down investors would begin to de-risk their portfolios and the small-cap market would experience at least a modest correction. We further believed a correction would signal the market's entry into the mid-stage of the recovery, where earnings (and investor expectations) would moderate and the portfolio's relative performance would improve substantially, consistent with historical trend. Ultimately, these events unfolded as anticipated. Thus, we believe the market is now in the mid-stage of a low growth recovery and given current valuations the stage is set for high-quality stocks to deliver attractive returns in 2012.
Still, macroeconomic risks remain elevated. The persistent global financial problems we face, including the sovereign debt issues in Europe, are residual effects of a multi-decade global debt explosion that will require many years to unwind. Historically, hangovers from financial shocks are long and painful, with plenty of market volatility, social upheaval (e.g., Occupy Wall Street, Tea Party, Arab Spring), and accompanying policy mistakes. Much of this adds to the uncertainty that we believe will lead to continued volatility early in 2012. Investors thus need a plan to avoid being gripped by either irrational exuberance or unreasonable fear.
From our perspective, the most effective way to do this is by focusing on fundamentals. At the beginning of 2011, small-cap fundamentals (both absolute and relative) were not attractive. Today, we think they are. Stocks are attractively priced, earnings expectations are reasonable, and corporate balance sheets remain in excellent condition. Although small-cap margins have rebounded sharply, they remain well below historical highs (unlike large-caps, which are at peak levels). Small-caps also have about half the revenue exposure to Europe than that of large-cap stocks. Finally, we believe conditions are ripe for a resurgence in merger and acquisition activity, which would support upside momentum, particularly for small-caps.
Forgoing a collapse of the European Union or some other catastrophic macro event, we think earnings and the U.S. economy will grow at a healthy clip, providing significant potential upside for investors. We are also pleased with the quality and positioning of the portfolio, which remains focused on companies with stable growth, attractive valuations, healthy balance sheets, and other acquisition characteristics—traits we believe the market will reward in 2012.

SHIPPENSBURG - Kirsten O'Malley interrupted her teammate Kaylee Caruso for a moment, wanting to share just one thought.
"I think it's so cool that she just started this year and got third in the state," the Montoursville sophomore said.
O'Malley interjected her thought as Caruso, a senior, pondered whether or not she wished she had started triple jumping before this year. The answer was easy for Caruso after she finished third in the Class AA triple jump at the PIAA Track and Field Championships at Shippensburg University on Saturday.
Article Photos
Kaylee Caruso of Montoursville places third in the triple jump Saturday at Shippensburg.
Kirstin O'Malley of Montoursville places sixth in the triple jump Saturday at Shippensburg.
O'Malley, competing in her second state triple jump event, earned her first medal, placing sixth with a jump of 36-feet, 1/2-inch. Caruso's best leap of 36-9 actually tied her for second place with Johnsonburg's Gabbi Benninger, but Benninger won the tie-breaker to take the silver.
The two jumps came on a blustery day more reminiscent of an early April dual meet than the Memorial Day weekend state meet. The usually exhausting heat was replaced by a relentless wind and temperatures which forced most competitors to wear long sleeves and tights while jumping.
The wind didn't seem to have much of an effect on the jumpers, though. The wind was so strong it negated potential state records in the sprints because of being aided by the wind.
"It took longer to warm up," O'Malley said. "You had to be really thorough in the warm-up. But it wasn't too bad."
Caruso only started doing the triple jump this year as a way of getting out of running the 200-meter dash. Caruso thought the triple jump was just a natural transition from long jump.
"I hated running the 200," Caruso said after earning her second bronze medal of the weekend Saturday. "At first, it was a little weird to get the phases and stuff, but I got used to it."
The fight in the triple jump really was for second place. First-place finisher Lanae Newsome of Brookville was the returning state champion and the state meet record-holder after posting a jump of more than 40 feet a year ago.
Newsome's first jump Saturday was her winning jump of 39-6 . She made he second jump before passing on her final four attempts knowing nobody was going to catch her.
Benninger was the event's second seed coming in, with Caruso the third seed. Caruso established herself as the front-runner for that silver medal, hitting her best jump on her second jump of the preliminaries. She wasn't matched until Benninger's last jump of the finals.
"We wanted to get 36 just to get into the finals," Caruso said. "To finish this high really is a surprise. I wish I had started earlier. I just started long jumping last year, too. I always think, 'What if I had jumped earlier? Where would I have been now?'"
O'Malley was the fourth seed heading into the finals after coming into the event seeded 11th. Her best jump came on her final jump of the preliminaries and was nearly three feet better than her jump in the same event last year which placed her 21st.
"The main goal was the 36-foot jump because that's almost guaranteed a finals spot," O'Malley said. "You just have to go for it then. Just get on the edge of the board and things like that."
It was the first state medal for O'Malley, who said she hopes yesterday's performance leads to more in her final two years.
"Hopefully it means more medals to come next year and the year after," O'Malley said.

Campus-provided transportation is very convenient and on-time. However, buses in Pittsburgh under Port Authority are rather unreliable sometimes. Transportation is covered under tuition with your ID. There are buses to the airport, which is nice, but the ride takes longer than my actual plane ride. For long distance transportation, there are Megabuses and Greyhound buses downtown.
school ID's are bus cards, but the city buses are always pretty late.
For CMU students, it's free to take the bus:) Although the bus is never on time, it's still convenient.
The bus drivers could be friendlier.
Bus is included and therefore feels free and is great.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
The most popular method of transportation at CMU is definitely public transportation. The Port Authority has a lot of bus routes that pass campus every five or 10 minutes, so it's not hard to find a bus, although students often complain that the right bus always seems to elude them when they're looking for it. The buses span all of the major neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, and the Port Authority also operates the T, which is basically like a metro system. Most students only use this if they need to get out into the neighborhoods like South Hills, Mount Lebanon, and Bethel Park—they all surround the central areas of Pittsburgh.
Students who live off campus frequently use bikes to get to their classes, as there are plenty of places to stow a bike near the academic and recreational buildings. If you choose to bring a bike, you also have to invest in a really secure bike lock because thefts are not uncommon. A fair amount of students have cars, but they have to pay exorbitant fees for permits (although these students usually can afford it). At the end of the day, most CMU students simply rely on their own two feet to get them places, because most areas of interest are within a reasonable walking distance.

When I Grow Up
When it comes to what kids want to be when they grow up, their options are colorful and varied. Limited only by their imaginations, kids can be anything that their minds can create. My mom loves to tell the story of me, when I was five years old and asked by a grown up what I wanted to be. Apparently, the two choices that were highest in my mind were a nun - or a stripper.
And how I knew about the second option, she had NO idea.
Kids are funny. At any given time, my own kids have vowed to be police officers, priests, teachers, opera singers, veterinarians, mounted police, and mommies with lots of babies. It can be tough to listen to each of those choices with a straight face, to avoid laughing at the earnest little face that vows to be a brick maker or cookie taster. To see that little face look up and you and hear the words, "I want to be a..." means to face the future in all of it's glory - are you ready for that?
Listen to Your Child - The desire to be a ballerina might sound far fetched, but maybe your child really does love to dance - and someone has to be the dancer in the family. Respect your child enough to lend credence to any job that is mentioned. After all, it's not up to you to throw a dash of reality on the child - society does that all too well. Is there some way you can help your child to realize their dreams?
Take Her Seriously - Above all, remember that you are the parent. You are the first person that a child will, many times, confide in, and if you blow up the child's dream to write a book, you could be causing more harm than you know. If your child has a desire to work in a field that is not typical for her gender, don't try to dissuade her with facts. Instead, support her and help her circumnavigate those gender roadblocks.
Expose Him to Many Different Careers - I once knew a boy whose father decided that his young son would be a banker. He took to every single activity that had anything to do with banking - and nothing else. As a result, when this boy failed math in college and ultimately flunked out, he had absolutely no idea in what else he could possibly interested. Expose your child to all kinds of things in all kinds of situations. You have no idea what will stick.
Build Interests - If your child loves to build, enroll him in classes that encourage this love. Maybe he will move from Lego club to Minecraft to architecture.
Don't Overlook the Obvious - Say your child likes to play sports. Odds are, there won't be a professional ball player in your future - but just maybe your child could be a great coach, athletic advisor or personal trainer. Your child might love to read - and while few people can get paid to lay around and read, it's entirely possible your child could be a librarian - or a publisher!
Never Limit Based on Gender - Fifty years ago, girls were very limited to their choices - but no longer. If your daughter wants to be an attorney or a judge, be sure to encourage her and don't tell her she's can't do it becuse she's female. She will certainly hear much of that in her life, but help her to feel that you are 100% on her side.
What did you want to be when you grew up, and did you keep the same career choice? What have your kids said they'd like to be when they grow up? How do you encourage these goals?

I wanted to be a vet and no i did not keep that career.. My son has been saying for a while now he wants to be a firefighter...we enrolled him in the First Responders Magnet program in his high school as it is a first step to get his feet wet and he absolutely loves it. They do alot with fire rescue and ambulance's as well. His teachers have told him he can be an EMT while he continues his education to become A Firefighter..They are all so supportive of this goal and push him the right direction!!!
I wanted to be a private investigator, I'm a sahm.
My dd wants to be a fashion designer, we bought her a sewing machine.
Lol I wanted to be a Pre K teacher but I didn't do it :( My daughter wants to be a princess lmao shes only 3 years old :)
I wanted to be a veterinarian. That changed when my dad said I would have to kill puppies and kittens. :/
I wanted to be a veterinarian, I changed my mind though obviously lol. My kids haven't expressed an interest yet.
my son can be whatever he wants to be. Hes 17 mths now, so really he has a while to decied
I encouraged them to think they could accomplish what they wanted. "Never unerestimate the power of a woman' type things tomy daughter. When they questioned whether they wanted to apply for something, I told them if they didn't, they wouldn't get it at all and if they did, they might not, but they might too so go for it. We talked about college early on. I would encourage them to try. I played games with them, like chess until they won all the time and then I checked with the action line in the paper to find a chess club. They connected with the high school kids when they were in jr. high and youngest in elementary and they could go play them after school at the high school whenever they wanted. My daughter was the chess captiain herlast year and was on the school chess team for all 4 years. My son decided he'd rather do band and football after school in Jr. high and band in highschool. Both do like to play games and figure out puzzles. Both are excellent on the computers as we had chess games on the computer and other games and had a computer in the house from when they were young. They have passed me in that skill as well. I taught my daughter to play chess when she was in her 2nd year of Jr. High andmy son wanted to play but he was only in the 3rd grade and I said he was too young to understand the moves. My daughter said, "Mom, you say don't underestimate the power of a woman, well you shouldn't underestimate the power of a kid either." I said, "Ok, but it is not easy." He learned to play very well. i WAS WRONG. An elementary kid can learn to play chess. We didn't let them win either. We did delay games by showing them their mistakes and allowing them to re-think it. We sometimes moved and then showed them whatwe could havedone that would have ended the game. Soon we were not helping a smuch and then we were stuggling to win, and then NOT. So they played with the chess team and chess coach. My daughter is a computer statistics major. My son majored in mechanical engineering and did his masters in fanance. Oncxe they were grown, I decided to finish college and go to law school where I graduated at 50 Years old.
When I considered law, and told my daughter I'd be 50 years old when I completed law school in 3 or 4 years and she asked, "What are are you going to be then if ou don't." Both said, "Go for it, Mom" I did.
So far both of my girls are sticking to being a doctor and a lawyer...so far(fingers crossed). I told them when it comes to their careers and success in life to think big. Never settle for anything less.
I wanted to be a mermaid.....or a teacher.
Growing up, my desire to be a teacher faded, until recently, I really want to be a teacher, again!
(Anyhow, I'd still rather be a mermaid.)
Alesha wants to be a lawyer that specializes in the medical fields.
Andre used to want to be a mechanic, but mostly he just want to blow things up-military.
Alex told me when he was three or four that he wanted to be a vegetarian until he found out that means eating vegetables. He was trying to say veternarian. He loves animals. Still does. Now he wants to be a K9 cop.
I used to want to work in a business type setting.

Wires hang close to the ground on CR 51 in Old Fort Thursday.
A wire hangs among tree branches on Elm Street in Fostoria Thursday.
The company estimated 100 percent restoration in Kenton and Lima at noon today; Findlay at 10 p.m. today; Bucyrus, Tiffin and Willard at 10 p.m. Saturday; and Fostoria and Fremont at 10 p.m. Sunday.
James Geiger, a manager at Tiffin's Rural King store, said the store had gotten an additional shipment of generators Thursday in response to the storms and power outages. The expedited shipment included 32 7,500-watt generators, eight 3,500-watt generators and eight 2,000-watt generators, and Geiger said he hoped all 40 would be sold today.
People were waiting for the shipment, and five of the 7,500-watt generators sold right away, he said.
Generators are a little heavy but are growing wings, Geiger said.
"(They're) moving quickly. They're blowing out," he said.

ROME, Italy - In this predominantly Catholic nation, the devil is gaining a foothold.
"There is a greater openness towards the devil," says Father Gabriele Amorth, the Vatican's Chief Exorcist.
In fact, Rome has been called the most satanized city in Italy.
"Satanism and the occult are in fashion," declares Father Pedro Barrajón, a Catholic priest who serves in Rome.
Devil's Diabolical Influence
There are an estimated 800 satanic cults operating in the country, with more than 600,000 followers. And according to Silvano Lilli, an evangelical pastor in Rome, their numbers are growing.
"The devil's diabolical influence is growing in so many areas of our society," says Lilli."He needs to be driven out."
Leading the battle to drive the devil out of Italy is 82-year-old Father Gabriele Amorth.
"This is the room where I do my exorcisms," says Father Amorth pointing to a small room.
Devil vs. The Vatican
Not too far from the Vatican, Father Amorth uses the practice of exorcism to drive out the devil from possessed souls.
"If a person is not violent I let them sit in this armchair, and I do the exorcism here. If they are violent I lay them down and if necessary I also tie them down," says Father Amorth.
Amorth is the Vatican's Chief Exorcist and the driving force behind the Catholic Church's renewed campaign against the devil.
He shows us where he works but refuses to let us tape him confronting Satan.
"I also use oil, it's the oil used for mass, the same used in a baptism and I've seen that it works," exclaims Father Amorth.
Exorcism 101
Amorth says "exorcism is God's true miracle" to confronting the devil and his handmaidens.
"Medicine and science have cases they can't solve but which are instead solved by exorcism," he added.
The devil's growing influence has even gotten the attention of the Vatican. Last year it started offering courses to its bishops on exorcisms.
Pedro Barrajón, a professor of theology, is teaching some of the exorcism classes.
"Our bishops need to know how to confront the devil," says professor Barrajón. "They need to know how an exorcism is conducted and how to help set people free from the influence of the devil."
Beasts of Satan
Italians got a taste of the devil's influence a couple of years ago when two teenagers were stabbed, bludgeoned, and buried alive here in the woods northwest Milan.
Members of a heavy metal band named the Beasts of Satan were convicted in the double murder. One of the victims was allegedly killed because she resembled the Virgin Mary.
"Despite the fact that the presence of the satanic world is fairly widespread we only knew of rituals where animals were slaughtered," said Enzo Molinaro, a detective with the Italian police. "As to rituals involving human sacrifice this was the first case."
Forsaking Priests for Magicians
Since then, Italian authorities have been grappling with a string of murders linked to devil worship. The Vatican now has priests working alongside law enforcement officers to tackle a wave of satanic crimes.
"We invite the police to sit-in on the exorcism classes so that they can understand the spiritual and theological dimensions of this phenomenon," said Barrajón, who is also an ordained Catholic bishop.
Many Italians are forsaking priests for magicians, fortunetellers and faith healers. It's A multi-billion dollar industry that employs thousands of practitioners like Sensitive Mariano.
Sensitive Mariano, who's real name is Salvatore, claims he received the powers of healing and prophecy as a child.
Today he performs an exorcism on Esperanza, a troubled housewife whose life was falling apart until she saw Mariano on TV.
"In the name of Saint Benedict, any form of evil should leave the mind of this woman," exclaims Mariano as he places a crucifix over Esperanza's forehead. Preserve Esperanza! Come out from this woman."
Freelancers Not Welcome
But the Catholic Church insists that such freelancers are not welcome.
"They are crooks; they are not exorcists," claims Father Amorth. "It's possible to pray to God to free a person - but proclaiming themselves exorcists, they are cheating people."
But Marco Dimiti says that the Catholic Church's portrayal of Satan is part of the problem.
To many Italians, Dimitri represents the devil. He heads the Children of Satan, a group that reportedly has more than one-thousand members.
"We don't have a cult of devil worship, that would be absurd because the cult of the devil would be the cult of evil - but for us, good and evil are subjective to each individual," says Dimitri.
In 1996, Dimitri was accused of raping a 2-year old boy and a teenage girl in satanic rituals. He was jailed for 14 months before being exonerated by the Italian courts.
"True Satanism puts man at the center of the universe - and is a noble expression," Dimitri said. "I want to say to Father Amorth what I say to all exorcists. Leave people in peace!"
Father Amorth is a busy man these days. He says that every week he sees up to fifty people who claim to be possessed by the devil.
"I see a very strong presence of the devil because men are following him," Father Amort said.
Can You Tell the Real Thing?
He has helped train some 300 priests in exorcism. The key says Father Barrajón is to train the priests how to differentiate between psychiatric problems and satanic possession.
"This is the key but I can tell you that those who perform exorcisms, they just have this sense, they just know," he said. "Sometimes they look for signs like if the person is afraid of the cross or baptismal water or pictures of Christ. They shake a lot or start screaming and they may poses extraordinary strength. The priests know what to look for."
Barrajón encourages Italians to pray more often, attend church and be aware of an enemy that is very real.
"The actions of the devil are not just limited to here in Italy- his evil spirit is roaming the earth, tempting people," he said. "We are trying to educate the society and families about the dangers of his influence."

Wonder where that giant Madagascar cockroach who climbed up his keeper's arm on Late Night came from? In 30 spirited minutes Jack Hanna, executive director of the Columbus Zoo, and his staff show off the lush life-styles enjoyed by that bug and hundreds of other creatures in the Ohio capital. The tour visits the only coconut crab on display in the U.S., a mother scorpion toting 30 babies on her back, and Kolo, the first gorilla born in captivity. The Columbus Zoo's first lodgers were six reindeer from the Columbus Dispatch's 1926 Christmas pageant, donated by the paper's publisher. Since then, the intimate zoo has become home to the nation's largest collections of reptiles (936 specimens) and cheetahs (24). And there is a population of pachyderms who are seen stomping watermelons before slopping them up for dessert. (Video Tours, Inc., $9.95; 800-869-6789)

I think thats what hes looking for
they are great you can use the open headtracker code on them too if I remember right
I have one of the V2 flat IMUs too.
the imu v2 flat is hard to find anymore if thats what hes asking
I still have my setup i was looking for info on perhaps turning into a tracker unit but firmware loading is not as simple as MP anymore
I have a number of the old ATMega 328 Ardupilots and their shields.
PM me and I will see what I can do for you.
The you mean the "shield" that was mentioned in the original post? If so, I'm afraid I don't even have one myself. That was a long time ago!
its a MPU6050 6-axis gyro/accel sensor attached to a piggybacked brushless motor driver pcb on an arduino pro mini 328p
Just a shrunk down brushless gimbal controller
still deciding what version of the firmware is best
more info here:
6050? I see an ArduSomethin attached to an I2C IMU.
I made progress and added GPS to Martin's code and I've got it sending GPS and attitude to the Ardupilot in binary. Ardupilot even shows a solid blue light now and is smoother with GPS added.

Settlement reached over police-involved shooting in Bucks Co.
A settlement has been reached in the case of a Bucks County man who was shot to death by police last year.
Perkasie Borough agreed to pay the family of 26-year-old Michael Marino Junior an unspecified amount of money in exchange for dropping legal action against the borough and its police department.
In June of 2012 Perkasie police officer Seth Mumbauer shot and killed Marino during an altercation.
Officials say Marino was under the influence of drugs yet handcuffed during the altercation.
Bucks County District Attorney Dave Heckler didn't charge Mumbauer with any criminal wrongdoing but he said officers could have done more to diffuse the situation.

■ DUE DILIGENCE, OR 'policing for profit'?: Woman decries seizure of nearly $30K cash
There may be dishonest cops but I think they eventually get outed by their peers. They don't last long, but then again all it takes is one to ruin your life. Don't go bashing cops for enthusiastically doing their jobs and being passionate about what they do. Some are obviously living their dream job. Your bad attitude and distaste for this sort of thing is actually derived from and should be directed towards lawmakers.
A ridiculous abuse of power.

■ 'NOT MY PRESIDENT': Man invites people to 'disinauguration ball'
This "story" serves no purpose but to inflame and ridicule.
If not your president then move ... out the United States.

Neither one of the Bushes were worth (anything), either. And Rick Perry doesn't care for the children ... he cut funding for schools. I'm very hardworking, and I voted for (Obama).

I think it is funny, and I definitely would have gone if I could. Obama is the worst thing to happen to this country, by far. People will realize this too late — he doesn't (care) about this country or our children.

■ EDITORIAL: AMARILLO HUNG up on voter apathy
If the Amarillo police only handed out 20 (cellphone) citations in two weeks, they sure did not care to enforce the new ordinance. I count 20 on their phone going to work every morning.
■ LETTER: WHAT HAPPENED to spending? (City commissioners award pacts of $1.2M for trucks, vans)
I believe that anything over the cost of $5,000 is required by law to go out for bid. Apparently, the local car dealers had a higher bid than Philpott Motors and Sam Pack's Five Star Ford. I would hate to see what the citizens of Amarillo would have had to say if the Amarillo city Commissioners had voted to "shop smart/shop local" and paid more for the vehicles.

Mighty Ducks win the game
Pass the ball perfect the play
There's so much riding on your fame
Men clad in armor win the day
The crowds are grumbling they've all gone wild
The stripes bad call has hardened your trial
Yard by yard your penalties mass
But you'll take the lead with a touchdown pass
86 yards with a kick return
Your rival now should show concern
We love your power your drive your speed
The beer the bets the company
Football Game day
Phones be texting
Tailgate fun scores projecting
Simple fun that's life affecting
It's more than manly testosterone
That compels us to the game
It's teamwork pride the thrill of the fight
How the underdog pushed and overcame
Sports and competition have always been a way of life
Revealing the mighty but also the contrite
Teaching lessons of brotherhood
More victory together than alone we ever could
So when we gather scream and shout
Seemingly insane over a meaningless thing
Remember this on Game Day proud
When from the rest of life we simply check out
Is it really so bad to drink too much
With Oregon's O displayed
Colored faces worshiping the Duck
When they fumble we yell O F_ _ _
Be it victory or cruel defeat
There's more to this than meets the eye
It's about families, lovers and the best of friends
Gathering to play to laugh and to cry
Game Day for the Oregon Duck
Of our team we're so damn proud
As a fan have you made the cut
Or resigned to just miss out

O Lord! Thou art my Coach
I shall never be defeated
Strengthen me for this game
As I humble call on your name
Invigorate my heart, mind and body
When I fall, pick me up and energize me
Grant me the tenacity to win every ball
And courage to stand whatever befall
Yea, though my opponents frighten me
Like roaring Lions out of their den
My great Coach always inspires me
Your pep talk! Your word! Uplifts me
Though fear and despair bites me
Like venomous snakes out of the shadow
My Lord is with me everywhere I go
You prepare a strategy to defeat my foe
When the final whistle is blown
And the team heads to the dressing room
May my Lord, the great Coach when He calls my name
Say "Gideon! You played like a Lion, you played the game"
And surely victory, glory and goodness
Will hunt me all the days of my life
And I shall look up to my Coach forever
Walking with me now and ever!
The Poet Preacher © 2014
Ps 18:39 My Coach has fortified me with strength [energy, power, strategy, capability] for the battle [big game, contest, combat]: He has subdued [vanquished, beaten, massacred, overpowered] my opponents.

Summer's nearly over,
Fall's around the bend;
Fire up the family grill,
Football's back again!
Call up Uncle Benny,
Bring Aunt Lucy too;
Don't forget the "doggies",
We've got lots of brew!
Popcorn's on the table,
Burgers on the bun;
The game's just begun!
Grandpa's on the sofa,
Fiddlin' with his crotch;
Grandma's in limbo,
Staring at her watch!
Benny's passin' gas,
Aunt Lucy's joining in;
We make a hasty exit,
Departing from our den!
In the living room we sit,
Wrapped up in the game;
Here comes Uncle Benny,
With a rather silly claim!
"They won't shut up talkin!"
"Can I sit in here with you?"
The game's gettin' good,
Then grandpa walks in too!
Between the fiddlin' and fartin',
I think we're getting sick;
Something's gotta happen,
And it's gotta happen quick!
A bar down the way,
Alone on Maple Street;
Halftime's nearly over,
It's time to retreat!
Among screaming fans,
The QB throws a pass;
It's football season, baby!
Let's have ourselves a blast!

It's very intriguing how life's test is
Unpredictable hurdles like a Lecturer's quiz
One giant in life I so tremble and fear
Especially, when the cliff-hanger draws near
Yet, I'll never stop believing in myself
O yes! Never stop believing in yourself
Through thick and thin I'll prevail
There's no way I'll fail
I'll keep moving towards the promised land
I'll keep moving and not stand
I'll attack and crush my giant apart
O yes! There's so much power in my heart
I'll tear him apart, I'll pull him down
I'll scatter him upon the ground
I'll give him my best 'Gargo' shot
And blow him at his blind spot
I'll strike his eyes and wash it with turpentine
I'll cut of his tongue and his intestine
I'll break him down and cut of his head
I'll crush this giant and finish him like bread
I'll play hard from beginning to end, I'll go on
Though the cliff may be tedious and long
I'll go on to achieve my quest
O yes! I'll go out to be the best
He hasn't said ten words to me -
for say, two hours and one long half.
I might as well be absentee
except for an off-handed laugh.
He takes football with white hot fun;
if we're behind, he catches fire!
The game is done, I think we won
and we are headed for the car.
So maybe now I'll have his voice?
Fat chance, it's only radio.
He's flipping channels, makes his choice
finding at last - the post-game show.
When in the drive the static stops,
the dog is howling at the door.
He lets her in, and rubs her chops
then play by play tells her the score.
I head for bed and say goodnight
but does he note my lonesome tone?
What's that I hear? You guessed it right -
a message on the speaker phone.

With the collapse of your cleats
A city's spirit rallies behind you
The heart of a champion beats
You brought pride, and hope too
We needed you more than you know
Pay no attention to the news
Your a firefly with a glow
Like gravity drawn to your moves
Focus forward and beaming bright
A wink of the future you will achieve
Lead the way, shine your light
The team is entrusted, We believe
Dedicated to RG3
Quarterback of my Washington Redskins

In Texas, High School Football is king
Every Friday night there's a game
A big event and the stands are full
The games aren't played for fun, they're for fame
In my second year of College life
My High School Football team went to State
I was compelled to go to Baytown
A Championship maybe their fate
So proud was I, my team on the field
In the high school color, power blue
The group of us sitting in the stands
Tyler High fans through and through
Then the Abilene team came on the field
I could feel a big lump in my throat
Man for man they all looked like giants
The front linemen were something of note
From the first snap, you knew things were bad
Abilene's linemen were in control
The whole line of scrimmage moved with them
My team got trampled under their roll
Yes, Trampled would be the word of choice
And it continued throughout the game
Abilene won the Championship
Trampled Tyler left Baytown in shame

University of Michigan Football- Into The Blue Contest
Labor Day comes it's college football season
my family has been waiting all year
some think it's crazy that the reason
is University of Michigan football is here!
Maize and blue, the colors of the team
dazed and confused I become the black sheep
my hubby and daughter stand up and scream
while I secretly pray for their score in my sleep.
See, I'm a closet fan and always have been
I pretend not to care, but I really do
I need to know what mood hubby will be in
oh my, how we love the wolverines... GO BLUE!!!

Football season is here again.
The warriors are ready to meet
On a field of battle green and white
Vowing never to face defeat..
Summer training has come and gone
The players fitness is at the very top.
The competition is also ready to play
They swear no other can make them stop.
The cameras are ready to televise the games
And bring them into your home.
The playing fields are neatly groomed
From Giants Stadium to the Superdome.
The creme de la creme play in the NFL
Where only the best players in the world are found.
Teams meet head to head six months during winter
With sudden death playoffs til a winner is crowned.
The best of the best are enshrined in the Hall.
Tittle, Butkus, Gifford and Allworth,
Olsen, Staubach, Huff , Lambert and Swann,
Casper, Lilly and of course there is Stallworth.
Landry, Madden, Starr, Taylor and Tarkenton.
Dawson, the Rooneys and the Mara brothers,
Macky and Mathews, Newsome and Payton
Shula, Riggins and so many others. .
These players were the best of the best.
Men we all could praise and admire
Men who should be examples to follow
Men who keep the bar moving higher.
There are 241 players enshrined
And many others to follow.
But for now we are watching
The crowded path that leads us all to "The Show"

There seems to be this black and white mentality prevalent amongst Rangers fans right now; if everything is not perfect then we must panic. No in-between. Which of course is ridiculous. I think we can find a middle ground; we're not where we want to be yet. This is a start that other teams might be satisfied with, but not a team that finished first in the Eastern Conference last season. Not a team that made it to the Eastern Conference Finals last season. Not a team that added one of the elite talents of the NHL in the offseason. I think it's completely okay to admit this while still acknowledging we're in a perfectly stable spot. We're 7-3-1 in our last 10 games. We're in a playoff position and only a few wins out of reach of the division or even the conference. And it's not even a third of the way through the season yet. There is more than enough time to get to where we want to be.
What is necessary to get to that place? Surely the powerplay needs to at least become respectable. A lot of blame has been thrown in the direction of Gaborik and Richards. And it would be ignorant to insist they have earned none of it.
But what about Ryan Callahan? A homegrown product. A guy who has proven he is a consistent 20+ goal scorer in this league and who flirted with 30 last season. A guy who embodies the identity of this team. When you look around the NHL, there are certain teams who gave the captaincy to respectable players; the Islanders and Mark Streit. The Wild and Mikko Koivu. The Stars and Brendan Morrow. And I of course mean no disrespect to those guys, who are hard workers, talented, and are looked up to. But Ryan Callahan belongs to the class of captains who serve as the paradigm of what the organization represents. He is the undoubted leader of this team and he embodies everything John Tortorella and the rest of the coaching staff wants to see. Every minor leaguer and unsigned prospect is told to emulate Ryan Callahan. In how he conducts himself, how hard he works, and how he plays every shift.
Surely, many of the qualities we expect from Ryan Callahan are still there. He's energetic every shift. He throws hits and blocks shots at will. And doing those things definitely gives him some leeway. But for all the (somewhat deserving) criticism that Gaborik and Richards have received, they still have respectable point totals; 11 in 15 games for each. Ryan Callahan, on the other hand, has a whole four points in 12 games. And again, while he has a slightly less offensive role than those two, his offensive contributions have been very underwhelming by his standards.
Moreso than just the tangible statistics, Ryan Callahan needs to step it up in a different way. When onelooks at the elite, successful leaders in New York sports history – Mark Messier, Derek Jeter, and Eli Manning for example – they all have something similar. It's not just ability or even hustle. It's not just about saying the right things. In fact, these guys didn't or don't need to say much at all. In big moments, when the team needed somebody to step up and be The Man all three of those guys did just that. It is inherent in their DNA. They have egos. Their teams were not going to fail under their watch. Of course talent had plenty to do with it, but Mark Messier does not score a hat-trick in Game Six against the Devils without that ego; without that will. Not only were the Rangers going to win the game, but Mark Messier was going to be the guy who stepped onto the ice, put the team on his back, and physically made sure of it. And when Messier returned to the bench after a goal, or Jeter returns to the dugout after an important base hit, or Eli walks to the sidelines after a successful two minute drill, the entire universe (and by virtue, their teammates) can see it in their eyes. We're going to win, I'm going to lead the charge, and you have no choice but to buy in.
Now of course, it would be unfair to expect Callahan to be on par with those guys right now. He's only in his second year as captain, and it's the middle of February; not in midst of an important playoff matchup. I'm not criticizing the job he has done on the ice or in the locker room I'm simply challenging him to move up to that next level. Be even better. The learning curve is no longer existent. He's no longer a kid trying to find his place in the league. He's already been through a season and playoffs as captain of the team. He's 27, a veteran of this team, and established as captain. No, he can't even come close to equaling the likes of Jeter, Manning, or Messier right now in February. But he can take that first step towards their status. The offense is somewhat flat (especially on the powerplay) and Nash's absence makes scoring even more difficult. The energy, effort, and selflessness is admirable and present as always with Callahan, but Staal and Girardi are doing those things as well. Brad Richards is a veteran with a Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe to his name. Show why Ryan Callahan wears the "C" and not any of those guys. Be the man. Put home a couple of goals. Score one on the powerplay, or in overtime against a division rival. Put together a streak of games with points. Part of being captain of a team in New York is thriving under the pressure and reaching expectations, even if they are unfair at times. It's about being the man who takes the reigns and produces when the team needs it most. Jeter, Manning, and Messier all did it. Chris Drury was unable to, and regardless of how hard he worked and how key he was in the locker room, his tenure as a captain will ultimately be remembered as unsuccessful. The energy, hard work, and general leadership of Chris Drury has been there with Callahan and maybe he has surpassed it to some degree. But that alone is not good enough. I have no doubt that he wants to reach that next level on the pyramid. Now it's time to execute.

YOU MIGHT CALL THIS THE CASE OF THE Purloined Prose. It begins on a dark and fateful night about a year ago when Phil Zuckerman, 40, began to read to his son Andy, then 5, from a favorite Hardy Boys adventure, The Mystery of Cabin Island. As he sat on a footstool in his Bedford, Mass., home, Zuckerman realized that something was missing. "Somehow the scenes weren't as cold as I remembered. The villains weren't as villainous," Zuckerman says. "It was dull." A little investigation proved that Zuckerman, who is president of the small Applewood Books, wasn't just imagining things. Beginning in 1959, all 38 of the original Hardy Boys titles and 34 of the Nancy Drew books had been revised to soften racial and sexual stereotypes and outmoded cultural references. Gone were all the swarthy, uneducated bad guys, along with Nancy Drew's blue roadster and many of the long, florid passages that had thrilled him as a child.
Zuckerman guessed that his kids would prefer the original products of a literary factory in which prepared outlines were fleshed out by hungry writers. When he showed before-and-after chapters to some booksellers, they agreed. So he has acquired the rights to the original texts of three Hardy Boys and three Nancy Drew stories and plans this fall to reissue facsimiles of the hardcovers, complete with original cover art, first published in the '20s and early '30s.
Not everyone is delighted. Sharon McDonald, the children's librarian at the Bedford Free Public Library, says, "When I reread these books as an adult, the bad guy always has an accent.... It troubles me." But beyond that, Zuckerman insists that the original books reflect "moral character and whole-someness and some historical perspective." Son Andy sees a simpler virtue. In the original description of the Hardy boys ice-skating in Hunting for Hidden Gold, he says, "I felt like the wind was blowing hard on the lake."

Product Review (submitted on February 11, 2014):
This was in a sample with an order last Autumn. Thank You Harney & Sons!!! When the cup is brewing and the spicy aroma fills the room, I can't wait to take that first sip. I add just a bit of honey to add some sweetness. It makes me feel like it is Autumn again instead of below zero with tons of snow outside. My only complaint is that it doesn't come in the big 1 lb. bag.

English Benedictine monk and bishop, b. at Pocklington, Yorkshire, 7 May, 1806; d. at Oscott, Warwickshire, 21 March, 1889. His father was a lineal descendant from [Saint] Thomas More, but had fallen in life and was then the chief tradesman of the village. His mother, a distant connection of Sir John Franklin, the Arctic explorer, was a convert. When he was ten years old, the whole family removed to Scarborough, where young Ullathorne made his first acquaintance with the sea. His lively imagination and adventurous spirit led him to desire to be on the ocean and to see the world; and for three and a half years his wish was gratified, during which time he made several voyages in the Mediterranean and the Baltic Sea and elsewhere. It was on one of these voyages that a chance opportunity of attending Mass at Memel, a port in the Baltic, proved the turning-point of his life, for he then and there made up his mind to devote his life to the service of God. On his return to England, therefore, he entered as a novice of the well- known Benedictine community at Downside, near Bath, in February, 1823. He received the habit in March, 1824, and was professed a year later, taking the name of Bernard. Later on he spent a year as prefect at Ampleforth College, near York, and was ordained priest at Ushaw College in 1831. Soon after his return to Downside, in response to an invitation from Dr. Morris, O.S.B., Vicar Apostolic of the Mauritius, Ullathorne offered himself as a volunteer for the Australian mission, which then formed part of that vicariate. His offer was accepted, and in view of the difficulty there had always been of governing the colony from such a distance, Dr. Morris gave him full powers as his vicar-general there.
Ullathorne landed in Australia in February, 1833, and his connection with the colony lasted eight years. During the first part of that time he devoted himself to organizing the beginnings of the mission there. When he first landed there were only three priests, Father Therry and Father McEncroe at Sydney, and Father Connolly in Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania). At both places they were working independently and without any kind of supervision. There were internal dissensions among the Catholics, as well as difficulties with the colonial authorities, both due to the want of proper ecclesiastical government. Ullathorne, by his tact and strength of character, soon succeeded in adjusting these, both at Sydney and in Tasmania. He likewise visited the convict settlement on Norfolk Island, which he describes as "the most beautiful spot in the universe ", and his ministrations to those who were condemned to death, as well as to the others, had most consoling results. In 1835 Bishop Polding, O.S.B., arrived as Vicar Apostolic of Australia, accompanied by three priests and four ecclesiastical students. Ullathorne, being thus set free, set out soon afterwards to visit England and Ireland, to obtain further help for the mission. During his stay he was called upon to give evidence before the Parliamentary Commission on the evils of transportation, and, at the request of the Government, he wrote a tract on the subject. He was also summoned to Rome, at the instance of Cardinal Weld, to report on the state of the Australian mission.
In 1838 he once more set sail for Sydney, with several priests and nuns who had offered themselves for the work. On his landing, he found himself the centre of obloquy, on account of his evidence on the convict question, for it was supposed to be detrimental to the colony, which thrived on the free labour of the convicts. Nevertheless, his views in the end prevailed, and transportation was abolished. In 1840 Ullthorne left Australia, as it turned out, for good, travelling to England in company with Bishop Polding. He had already drawn out a scheme for a regular hierarchy, rendered possible by the remarkable and rapid increase in numbers and organization, and when Dr. Polding went to Rome he obtained its substantial adoption. Dr. Polding himself became Archbishop of Sydney ; but though Ullathorne was more than once pressed to accept a bishopric there, he remained staunch in his refual, and retired to the mission of Coventry. Here he used his energy in building a handsome new church; but after a stay of three years he had once more to move, being appointed Vicar Apostolic of the Western District of England, with the title of Bishop of Hetalona. Two years later, however, he was transferred to the Central District, in which he was destined to spend the remaining forty-one years of his life. He soon acquired influence among his brother bishops, and in 1848 he went to Rome as their delegate, to negotiate the restoration of the English hierarchy — a task for which he was specially qualified, in view of the part he had taken in the similar scheme already carried out in Australia.
His negotiations were successful, and after a delay of two years, due to the Revolution in Rome, the new English hierarchy was proclaimed by Pius IX on 29 September, 1850. Cardinal Wiseman became the first Archbishop of Westminster, Dr. Ullathorne being appointed Bishop of Birmingham. He ruled that diocese for thirty-seven years. On the death of Cardinal Wiseman, he was chosen by Propaganda to succeed him; but Pius IX overruled their choice and appointed Cardinal Manning , and Dr. Ullathorne remained at Birmingham. He took part in all the four provincial synods of Westminster, and in 1870 he attended the Vatican Council ; but for the most part his episcopate was free from incident beyond the steady growth and administration of his diocese. When he first took up his residence in the Midlands, he found the finances in a deplorable condition : he lived to see his diocese thoroughly organized, and many new missions established, as well as new communities of men, the most famous of which was [Ven. John Henry] Newman's Congregation of Oratorians at Edgbaston. Oscott was at that time a mixed college, and in 1873 Bishop Ullathorne established a regular diocesan seminary — St. Bernard's, Olton. He also devoted himself in a special manner to the convents of his diocese, in all of which he took a personal interest. One of his chief assistants was the well-known Mother Margaret Hallahan, who founded a convent of the Dominican Order at Stone, from which there were several branch houses. In 1888 Dr. Ullathorne obtained leave from the Holy See to resign his diocese, being given the title of Archbishop of Cabasa. He retired to Oscott College, where he died the following year on the feast of St. Benedict, and was buried in St. Dominic's Convent, Stone.
His chief works, written during his last years, are: "Endowments of Man" (London, 1880); "Groundwork of Christian Virtues" (1882); "Christian Patience" (1886). He also published "Reply to Judge Burton on Religion in Australia" (Sydney, 1835); "La Salette" (1854); "The Immaculate Conception" (1855); "History of Restoration of English Hierarchy" (1871); "The Döllingerites" (1874); "Answer to Gladstone's 'Vatican Decrees'" (1875); and a large number of sermons, pastorals, pamphlets, etc.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

These gals will be up in the shop in notecard form in a few weeks. I really get a kick setting these scenes up. I wish I had the time and patience to do little animations with the dolls. It was so fun making their coordinating outfits and knitting tiny sweater vests. I'd love to do a back to school set up with them too with little backpacks and berets and blazers. Oh geez, now I think I need to do that.

BEREA, Ohio—Dan Dierdorf, a Hall of Fame blocker and CBS analyst, came away from a recent review of Joe Thomas saying the Browns' veteran might be the league's best offensive lineman.
At worst, Dierdorf said, Thomas doesn't deserve the criticism that his play has eroded. Thomas suffers from guilt-by-association complex.
The Browns were 10-6 his rookie season, but are an abysmal 20-53 since. Don't blame him. His technique and footwork in pass protection are consistently textbook stuff.
He is an effective run blocker, albeit not a mauler. But the fact he was guilty of a couple of penalties early in the season and plays with a chronically bad team could keep him from making a sixth straight Pro Bowl.
Thomas is the anchor of a line that was steadily improving before young left guard Jason Pinkston was diagnosed by a blood clot and landed on injured reserve. Veteran John Greco is less physical but an adequate replacement.
The key to the line being a team strength both the rest of this year and in 2013 is right tackle Mitchell Schwartz. The rookie second-round pick struggled in September when he was still learning right-side footwork after playing left tackle at Cal.
Schwartz is tough, smart and determined and has rounded into a competent player. Given where he was drafted, the team needs him to become one of the league's better right tackles.

According to Medievalists.net, University of Oslo runologist K. Jonas Nordby finally deciphered the scratches on the artifact above. It reportedly says, "Kiss me."
Yes, the big, burly Vikings of history had their own version of candy hearts. Like the pictured example, most of the 80 collected Jötunvillur samples translated into friendly notes.
"We have little reason to believe that rune codes should hide sensitive messages, people often wrote short everyday messages," Nordby explained to the Norwegian news site forskning.no.
According to Medievalists.net, the Vikings also used the code to craft playful taunts aimed at the reader and to boast about their writing skills.
