What is it about potty learning and my children finding the need to sneak and hide while they go about doing their sneaky stinky business?
As a mom we know it is coming. We can smell the warnings. We can see it on their guilty cute little face. We even have it mapped down to the time of day. Why must they fight and sneak off? Couldn't the business be done easier while sitting on the toilet… quietly… on their own.
My youngest, newly 3 years old, is the ultimate sneaky stinker. He is perfectly content hanging out in soiled drawers all.day.long.
Today he decided to wear big boy underwear… successfully … ALL.DAY.LONG! Then he proceeded to ask to wear a diaper and POOF (or POOP). He decides to hide under the train table to do his business.
Sneaky little stinker. I could smell that cutie across the house. Why must be be so sneaky?
Oh how I long for the warmer days of summer so potty learning can be done completely outside… without fear of ruining the carpet in the house.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The Fairy HobMother, sponsored by Appliances Online, is another sneaky one, but — unlike the sneaky stinker – this kind of sneakiness is fun for everyone else!
This sneaky fairy might have been intimidated by my handstands or my Mommy influence. I am not sure. Either way, the HobMother gifted me with a very surprising but welcomed Amazon gift card.
If you want a visit and a present from the HobMother Fairy, a comment on this post is all that's required. The fairy will browse through the comments and then pick someone to visit! Have fun!!!!!!!!
Disclosure: I was gifted an Amazon card from the Appliances Online Fairy Hobmother. All opinions expressed in this post are my own. I am not conducting a giveaway for the Fairy Hobmother… s/he will be picking and contacting anyone chosen to receive an Amazon giftcard.

Ulster waste firm's Ikea deal
Published 10/12/2007
A Newtownabbey company has secured one of the most high profile recycling contracts in Northern Ireland.
Swedish furniture giant Ikea, which is opening its first store on the island of Ireland in Belfast later this week, is famous for its environmental initiatives.
And it has signed up Mallusk-based ISL Waste Management to help its new Belfast outlet reach a target of recycling 90% of its waste, totalling an estimated 1,500 tonnes per year.
It is one of the most ambitious recycling projects in Ireland, according to ISL managing director Michael McLarnon.
He said: "Winning this contract with Ikea is a significant sign that our can-do attitude, our constant innovation and our focus on setting ever higher service level targets are keeping us, as a local company, on the front line of the recycling and waste management industry."
Ikea said several measures have been put in place at the Belfast store - it opens on Thursday - that demonstrate the retailer takes its environmental responsibility seriously.
The measures include a methane protection zone underneath the floor providing a 'clean air blanket', removing any methane gases from the building.
There is also a rainwater harvesting system to supply water for lavatory flushing; a biomass system that will provide a wood pellet central heating system for the entire store, and a customer recycling service for a range of products.

Near-infrared LEDs set up behind theater screens
TOKYO — While increased vigilance and harsher penalties have yet to put a major dent in film piracy, a little bit of high-tech know-how just may do the trick.
Isao Echizen of the National Institute of Informatics, in cooperation with Sharp, a leading Japanese electronics maker, has devised a technology for foiling camcorder pirates at the theater, NII has announced.
Special near-infrared LEDs are set up behind the movie screen and turned on while a film is playing, beaming light through tiny holes in the screen. Pirates who record the pic with camcorders or other devices end up with an image spattered with red and green blotches. Viewers in the theater see nothing, since the light emitted by the LEDs is not in the range of the human visual spectrum.
Sharp aims to commercialize the technology within two or three years.
The Motion Picture Producers Assn. of Japan, or Eiren, estimates that pirates have trimmed 10%, or $220 million, off the $2.2 billion annual local B.O., while taking a similarly large chunk from the DVD biz. And pirates have been steadily improving the quality of their images with better equipment.
Eiren-affiliated theaters now run spots before every screening warning camcorder pirates of possible fines and prison sentences, but results have not yet lived up to expectations.
But there's no doubt blotchy copies would be tough to sell.

The Times of Sorrow and Hope website is dedicated to documenting the Pennsylvania photographs in the FSA-OWI collection and making them accessible to the public. The main feature of this website is the catalog of approximately 6,000 Pennsylvania photographs that have so far been identified. The catalog offers comprehensive information about each photograph, and we eventually hope to include links to the actual images.
The main catalog lists the photographs only under the name of the photographer. We also have provided five guide pages, currently viewable as PDF files, to give viewers a broader range in which to search. Each guide is specifically indexed to help viewers find what they need as quickly and as easily as possible. The photographs are categorized by Dates, Personal Names, Photographers, Places, and Subjects.
In time, the catalog will be upgraded to a database that will enhance the catalog's searchability and ease of use. Until then, follow the simple instructions below to learn more. If you already know what you're looking for, you can go straight to the Catalog.

Here at Ebuyer.com you'll find a wide choice of heaters. We sell stylish wall mounted heaters that will look great in any home and take up little space. We also sell money-saving halogen heaters, and a choice of portable heaters. Read moreless...
Wall mounted
Wall mounted heaters, such as our Pifco models, are extremely stylish and look great in your home ? in fact they could become the focal point of your living room. They boast contemporary design and often come with a fire and pebbles effect and black flat tempered glass front panel. These heaters come with remote control so you can adjust temperature settings from the comfort of your armchair, and there is usually a manual control panel on the heater itself where you can change heat settings and flame brightness. There is usually a safety thermal cut-off device too.
We also stock the WarmLite Frostwatcher. Wall mountable, this device is perfect for lofts, cellars and garages and ensures protection from frost and very cold weather.
Halogen heater
If saving money and energy are key considerations when choosing a heater then take a look at the halogen heater options on Ebuyer.com. These heaters use halogen infrared technology and cost less to run than normal electric fan heaters. Oscillating from side to side, your room will be heated in no time and one-touch operating means you can also adjust the settings just as easily.
Portable heater
Portable heaters from the likes of Prem-I-Air, provide a flexible heating option. There is a wide range of portable heaters with different settings and features such as climate control, which means the heater will maintain the desired room temperature, often with an LCD display panel so you can monitor it. For smaller rooms, look for a low power portable heater such as one that runs at under 2kW. You'll need more for heating larger rooms.
Portable heaters at Ebuyer.com are available in three types: fan, oil-filled and convector. Portable fan heaters are light, compact and easy to set up. Usually you can plug in straight out of the box. Oil-filled heaters cost less to run but are slower to heat up and will be heavier than a fan heater. Meanwhile convector heaters resemble oil-filled heaters but are thinner and lighter. They heat up quickly and are quiet. You will also find wall-mountable models. Take a look at our range and see which type suits your needs.

D-Day refers to the June 6, 1944, invasion of Normandy, in Nazi-controlled France, by American, British, Canadian, and other Allied forces during World War II. The operation's amphibious landings remain the largest in history, with more than 125,000 troops brought across the English Channel on the first day alone. Air power, paratroopers, and vigorous intelligence and counter-intelligence operations also played major roles in the invasion's success, which established an Allied front in France, further dividing German resources between fronts in Italy and Russia. In less than a year, Soviet troops had advanced to Berlin from the east, though American General Eisenhower opted not to engage in a race with the Soviets to Berlin in order to avoid further American casualties.

As far as i was aware Activision now have the license for 007 games.
As for Goldeneye im not sure. N64 Diddy Kong Racing was made by Rare and was released on the DS stating that some of the characters were licensed from Rare. As Bond himself is not a Rare creation then maybe Nintendo would just have to get the license from Activision.
Whatever the case, i would love to see Goldeneye on the VC.

Skip to comments.'Davy Crockett' Star Fess Parker Dies
Posted on 03/18/2010 12:26:36 PM PDT by Borges
Fess Parker -- who played Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone -- has died of natural causes ... a rep confirms with TMZ.
Parker -- who also starred in "Old Yeller" -- owned the DoubleTree Resort in Santa Barbara and the Wine Country Inn & Spa in Los Olivos, CA.
Parker married Marcella Rinehart in 1960. They had two kids.
He was 85.
Daniel Boone was a man, was a big man.....
RIP Mr. Parker.
With the rewriting of history now going on in the schools few children will ever know who Davy Crockett was. Sad. Sad also to lose a fine actor who portrayed him.
White House: Let's pass Healthcare in honor of Davy Crockett! /s
Met him a few years ago at his winery in Santa Barbara... super nice fellow. May he rest in God's peace....
Fess Parker....God, he was HOT in his day! :P
RIP....Condolences to his family.
As a kid, I had the record and a coon skin cap.
Old Yeller-that brings back memories.
Man, I thought he had died a long time ago.
He was six feet, six inches tall.
Davy, Davy Crockett...
King Of the wild frontier...
RIP Mr. Parker.
RIP Davy. You taught me how to be an American. God bless you for that.
That's sad. I grew up watching all the Davy Crokett episodes. Rest in peace, Mr. Parker.
RIP Mr. Parker.
A Great guy. R.I.P.
Don't forget the made for TV classic "Killdozer."
You brought so much happiness to American patriots.
Am I the only one who can't remember the actual theme...only the version we sang among friends (an extremely racist version)?
Aw... RIP. Many memories there.
He has a small role in "Them" (giant ants).
Yeah, but could he hit a guy in the crotch with a thomashawk like Mingo?
I can't remember a single episode but that was a big show for me and I had a little coonskin cap. So did the other kids. Everyone ran around with cap pistols which are a no-no these days. Mothers pretty much tolerated cap guns though it got on their nerves. These days they get the boy put on Ritalin
RIP Fess. Davey Davey Crockett king of the wild frontier. Born on a mountaintop on Tennessee, greenest state in the land of the free (kinda patriotic message for the youngsters)
Fess Parker provided me with many hours of pleasure watching his movies, his show, and dreaming of becoming a mountain man. Even as an adult I have thoroughly enjoyed his movies watching them again from time to time.
May the Lord God take Mr. Parker into his grace and hold him with all the love and compassion heaven holds.
Old Yeller still makes me cry.
Wasnt Clint Walker in Killdozer? I am not sure
Traficant's gonna miss that man.
Well, he's number 3 then...
Merlin Olsen
Peter Graves
Fess Parker
May God bless them all, they were from such a different time. One that today seems so long ago as to have been a dream and not real.
33 posts in 7 minutes.......
I guess Davey Crockett "resonated" with the boys (now old men) at least
Sad, but another star from my youth. Luckily lived to a ripe age.
"King of The River" also as I seem to recall. Mike Fink, was another character I believe.
He did incredibly well investing in land in the Santa Ynez Valley. Nice tasting room at his vineyard, although the wine wasn't that hot compared to some others along Foxen Canyon Road. The wine glasses that you got to keep after the tasting were etched with little coonskin caps.
He was a good solid conservative, too. RIP.
I remember how BIG it was to have a coonskin hat. (And a Zorro sword set after the 1958-59 Disney Zorro series aired.)
By golly, you are right! It WAS Clint Walker. I got the two confused.
Fess, God Bless you. Not only were you a man's man, you are off the hook for having "starred" in "Killdozer."
The Disney channel would do well if it ran Daniel Boone reruns.
Better than the spoiled pre-teen type shows that make up their programming.
(yes, I know that'll never happen)
Bummer. Great guy. Somewhere tucked away I have an autographed photo of Mr. Parker.

Directed by: Neil Burger
Starring: Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Miles Teller, Jai Courtney, Kate Winslet, Ashley Judd, Tony Goldwyn and Zoë Kravitz
Welcome to the future. Well, let's hope not. Instead, welcome to writer Veronica Roth's world. Roth is the penned the book series the movie "Divergent" is based on. In these stories she has created a dystopian society that puts people into categories or "Factions". When you turn sixteen years of age, you choose, based on your personality and based on what is strongly suggested to you, the faction you are to belong. Leaving behind everything, if you don't choose the faction you were born into, you now have a new family, new friends and a new way of life. You are an "initiate".
Initiates have to face fears to help them pick their way of life and where to fit in. It's with this that director Neil Burger makes the story come to life when showing you what is going on in the mind of the impressionable and very easily controlled youth. We get to stroll through their heads and I'm all for watching it... as long as this doesn't ever really happen and people take a peek into my mind and fears.
I digress. "Divergent" has everything that an adventure buff is looking for in an action flick. And for guys who might be getting dragged to the film because their girlfriends have read the books, you'll be glad to know that it primarily keeps the lovey-dovey stuff to a minimum, which is a rare thing indeed in YA novels and their films. I like the length of time that Burger took to bring on the mushy stuff. He made me wait for what felt like a lifetime just to see A kiss!When it finally did happened I wanted to cheer - along with many teenage girls, as well, I'm sure. From the oohs and aahs I heard throughout the theatre during the screening I attended, I can say that for a fact, actually. But, guys, after the kiss, they get straight back to the story and don't focus on gratuitous sex and nudity. Hooray! Or is it hooray, guys? I'll let you be the judge.
Anyway, like "Hunger Games" before it, and that's where the comparisons stop, the hero is instead heroine. Young Shailene Woodley plays our protagonist Tris and she performs magnificently. I had the joy of speaking with her on her "The Descendents" press tour and she couldn't have been more genuine and pleasant to be around. I'm very happy for this beautiful, young, talented rising star. Keep an eye on this one, not that her gorgeous eyes and skill in her chosen profession will make that hard to do. The screen loves her! In fact, everyone in the entire cast is absolutely perfect in their role! Kate Winslet is a witch as Jeanine Matthews, the sole representative from the Erudite faction, and its leader. It's wonderful to see her take on this very unlikable character.
Theo James is dashing as Tris' guardian, Four. He isn't in the Dauntless faction, the faction she chose, to be her protector, obviously, he just ends up not capable of seeing anything bad happen to her because, oh yeah, did I mention that you may choose a faction but it doesn't mean the other members have to want you or accept you? Wicked games are afoot. Wicked games. Miles Teller (Peter) and Jai Courtney (Eric) make things very uncomfortable for Tris as she tries to prove she's worthy, even though she discovers she's a Divergent she wants to be Dauntless. Once she realizes she's Divergent she learns that she must keep this a secret, for Divergents can fit into any group, any category... and for leaders of this society this is very dangerous because this means they cannot be controlled. Therefore, all Divergents are weeded out and eliminated. Tris wants to fit in but, also, she must hide amongst her new family which is making this difficult for her.
Her parents were hoping to keep a close eye on her and are quite daunted (I couldn't help myself) when she doesn't stay with them. But, as they say in this futuristic world, "Faction before blood"! Hmmm… outside of obvious reasons for her parents wanting her to stay, I wonder what else they know.
Woodley has a beautiful scene with her mother, played by Ashley Judd, that made me tear up. I think you will, too. It's easy to imagine that the set of this film was full of friendship and bonding. It comes across as you watch the performances of the actors.
Anyway, see "Divergent", out today at a theatre or IMAX near you. This is not to be seen on anything less than a theatre screen. And, it's the first of the trilogy so don't miss it or you'll see one of the others and wish you had listened to me to have appreciated the full scope of the reality Burger constructs just for you.

Dave, that's OK if you don't plan on seeing it right now. I'm sure there are a few hundred teenage girls that would take your seat...
But actually for a movie geared more to the teenage audience, it was well-made and had some very good performances, Especially Shailene Woodley and Kate Winslet, as the perfect ice beotch (rhymes with 'witch'). The story was pretty pumped up for most of the movie. I'm glad Tris did not choose to be in the faction that did all that organic hippie farming. That could have been a tad boring.
I really liked it. It's seriously done well. True, it's not going to be for everyone but it is not a Hunger Games or Twilight or any other close. Sure there are similarities but this is very different. If you didn't like HG, you might like this. If you hated HG, you might like this. So, what I suggest is... GIVE IT A TRY!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't know why I'd see a movie that sounds like something I wash my clothes with... looks like a Hunger Games clone. Sorry Shari, but your review doesn't convince me otherwise. I'm just getting grumpy in my old age, with too many of these types of movies coming out recently. Of course, the last YA movie I saw that was any good was "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes"...

Bieber reminds us that he still makes music
Justin Bieber, 19, has had a problematic PR year, to say the least, with damning headlines practically on a weekly basis. Bieber abandoned his monkey in Germany! Bieber allegedly visited a brothel in Brazil! Bieber urinated in a restaurant mop bucket and cussed out a picture of Bill Clinton!
But he's trying to end his year reminding people he's actually a musician with an iTunes exclusive album, "Journals." Released Monday and reportedly only available as a bundle of songs for two weeks, "Journals" features 10 songs that were previously released on a weekly basis starting in October as part of his recent Music Monday series, plus five brand new tunes. »Read Full Article(11)

Crouch Cancel
Weak attacks like a multi-hit jab (the first two hits of Wolf's jabs, Link's spamtastic jabs, etc.) or very low-knockback tilts can be CCed at most-any percent. Weak projectiles as well, like Falco's Neutral-B. When ya have little damage, most-any attack with moderate or less knockback can be CCed as well. So no, don't try to CC a Falcon Punch.
Crouch Canceling is incredibly useful. Make as much use'a it while your damage is low as ya can, 'specially if your character has a good D-tilt/Smash. ohai roy

Kid's Nite Out Babysitting Service
Universal Orlando:
Thinking of using Kid's Nite Out on our next Orlando trip.

Has anyone ever used the Kid's Nite Out Childcare Service that is mentioned on the Disney and Universal Orlando websites? I am thinking of using them on our next trip for our 9 and 2 year old. I've looked at reviews on other websites and found only positive comments except that it is expensive. I wanted to see if anyone here has anything to offer about it.

If you are staying at a Disney Resort, I do know they offer it in a couple of resorts (Polynesian is the most popular). I hear its fantastic.
I must say I have never heard of Kids Night Out, but it sounds pretty cool.

Posted September 16, 2010 at 6:19 AM
My parents actually used if for my siblings and I in the early 90s. All I remember is that we stayed in the room the whole time and watched disney movies and the sitter brought a toy for my little brother who was like 2 at the time.
I know I was upset because I loved peter pan and wanted to go to the neverland club at the polynesian (i thought it was actually neverland lol).
So clearly I wasn't scarred for life or anything, although my mother remembers it being insanely expensive - I can only imagine how much it costs now!

It's a wonderful service, although the sitters only have stuff for kids Pre-K through age 12.

Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

Beefeater was an American post-hardcore band from late 1984 until 1986. Formed by Tomas Squip, Fred "Freak" Smith, Dug E. Bird (Birdzell) and Bruce Atchley Taylor, they were pioneers of the post-hardcore genre and the Revolution Summer which took place in the Washington D.C. hardcore in the mid-'80s with similar bands like Embrace, Rites of Spring and Gray Matter, among others. Their debut LP, Plays for Lovers was released in 1985 on the Dischord and their follow-up House Burning Down was released in 1986, as their farewell LP. Drummers Mark "Two-Chair" Shellhaas and Kenny Craun replaced Taylor on later albums. Squip and Birdzell went on to form Fidelity Jones, while Craun joined the Rhythm Pigs and Fred "Freak" Smith joined Strange Boutique.
While Beefeater's songs had all the angry energy of its hardcore labelmates the energy was channelled as much through funk and jazz as rock and roll. Dug E. Bird's fast-paced bass slap drives a rhythm section over which Fred "Not Sonic" Smith's guitar rides in a way reminiscent of the Minutemen. House Burning Down saw the incorporation of even more non-punk influences, most notably world music and included musical cameos many of the Dischord Records regulars (Ian MacKaye provides an intro to the album, in addition to some saxophone).
Squip's essay in Threat by Example: A Documentation of Inspiration (Martin Sprouse, editor, 1991 Pressure Drop Press: San Francisco, ISBN 0-9627091-1-5) outlines his notably religious world view and motivation, unusual for a Dischord band.

One of the Best Cars for the Money
by One time Leganza Owner from South Dakota | February 14, 2009
I had a Leganza SX for 8 years and put over 200-thousand miles on it. Great car. Most of my miles were highway driven. In town the suspension always seemed stiff, but on the road it was very smooth. Very reliable car. Never changed any of the exterior or interior lamps. For a second car I would highly recommend it.

I loved it so much I brought one twice!
by Woo-hoo Lady from Los Angeles | June 18, 2007
My original Leganza SE was brought brand new. Aside from the battery and breaks needing replacement fairyly early, the car ran like a dream. I owned it for exactly five years. Easy to drive, great steering and u-turn ability. Great on the highway! Shifts gears when needed automatically, great speed when needed, very smooth ride. Great to drive long distances. My car was destroyed while parked on a downtown street with only 44,000 miles on it so I'm buying another one, only it's a CDX. I hope it's the same great , easy drive as the SE . My bigest beef was with the windows, they were hard to clean or keep clean. The seats in the CDX are the same width as the mid sized Nubira. But I can't find a Laganza SE with super low mileage, so I'm settling for a CDX that does. I was very satisfied with the SE, the seats are the most comfortable I've ever sat in for it's class. Wider than all the Japanese cars. But my dash board began to seperate away from it's anchor probably from continued sun exposure, but easily repaired. Too bad the company went under, the Leganza would have only gotten better.

vinculum (vinclum) -i n. (latin): a band , cord, chain, fetter, tie.
The first restraint I ever bought was a pair of Takeda-style handcuffs, and I think I must have been 12 or 13 years old at that time, more than 20 years ago. Of course I did not buy them with the intention to start a collection - at that time I would not even have thought that anybody in the world might have the idea to collect restraints - and when you ask me today I am not able to answer the question why I bought them.
To be continued...
Last update 25 May 2003
Currently online: ca. 44% of the collection
Update 12/13/14/16 February 2003
I have rearranged the "Handcuffs" section and added thumbs instead of the large pictures. Clicking on the thumbs will open a new window with the large pic.
Update 2 August 2002
This update was not done from home but from where I work, so I was not able to show more pictures. I just have added some more links (now the email-link at the bottom of the page finally works, thank you very much Jack!) and I have begun with the introduction.
Update 23 Juli 2002
Today I have added some pictures in the Nippers/Mechanical nippers section, will continue with it next time
Update 21 Juli 2002Finally I have an idea how to make links, so I have added a LINKS-page to this site. As everything, also this page is just at the beginning... I will also add some information now to the Dortmunder cuffs, the pics of which I had added last time.
Update 12 Juli 2002
Today I have added some pictures of the Dortmunder (Handcuffs/My TopTen) and a few pics of rare German nippers (Nippers/mechanical nippers)

The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced that NatWest will become the title sponsor of Twenty20 (T20) cricket at international, county and recreational level from 2014. It is a ground-breaking agreement for the governing body, as it is the first time a single format sponsorship of the game has been offered to one organisation.
The four-year deal includes England's eight international T20 fixtures against Sri Lanka (two matches - 2014 and 2016), India, New Zealand, Australia, Pakistan, West Indies and South Africa. NatWest will continue its support of the women's game through its title sponsorship of England Women's home international T20 fixtures.
NatWest will also become the title sponsor of the county T20 competition with the majority of matches being played on Friday nights from 2014. This was the clear preference from the ever-increasing T20 fan base as reflected in ECB's market research.
In recreational cricket, NatWest retains the title sponsorship of the extremely successful annual NatWest CricketForce weekend (4th-6th April 2014 being the 13th event) - where thousands of cricket clubs hold volunteer events to boost investment in grounds and facilities prior to each season, as well as the NatWest Outstanding Services to Cricket Awards (OSCAs) which recognises and rewards the game's volunteers. NatWest will also become the lead sponsor of the ECB's National Club T20 competition which runs across 32 recreational league competition culminating with the Finals Day shown live on Sky Sports.
NatWest will become the title sponsor of the NatWest Women's T20 competition - which 33 County Boards compete in, across three regional groups (Midlands & North, South & West, and South). The sponsorship further encompasses junior competitions - played in 40 counties for the boys U13 & U15 competitions, and 32 counties for the girls U15 & U17 competitions.
NatWest has enjoyed a number of title sponsorship properties in its 32-year involvement with cricket - beginning with the domestic NatWest Trophy (1981-2000), before switching to international cricket with the NatWest ODI Series (2000-2013) which included the NatWest Challenge (2003-2005), and the NatWest T20 Series (2006-2013).
David Collier, ECB Chief Executive, said: "NatWest has been a wonderful and loyal supporter of cricket over the past three decades. They have been involved from the club game all the way up to England teams. ECB is delighted that this long-standing partnership will continue to flourish through NatWest's support of the T20 format which, as we have witnessed this season, continues to attract a new and growing audience for cricket throughout England and Wales."
Les Matheson, Managing Director of Retail Products & Marketing, NatWest said: "With well over thirty years supporting English cricket, we are the longest-standing sponsor of cricket anywhere in the world and are delighted to be extending this involvement through the most exciting and engaging format of the game.
"The Twenty20 game, at all levels, gives us the opportunity to engage our branch network and reach out to our customers all over the country. This new deal will also give us the opportunity to continue rewarding our customers.
"We are particularly pleased to be continuing our involvement with NatWest CricketForce, the UK's largest annual sports volunteering programme and which plays a fundamental role in supporting the communities we serve."

Every year it's the same song and dance: Players who won't play a single down during the regular season stand out during OTAs. Some players stand out for their impressive plays in shorts and shells, while others stand out for their consistently poor play.
Whatever the reason, fans and media members alike enjoy covering the spectacle. During one of the NFL's slowest seasons, any relevant news tends to draw observers in. Which is exactly why OTAs are becoming more and more popular on an annual basis.
Let's take a look at 10 players who have stood out during the first week of organized team activities.

First day of school!!!!
Married my other half March 23, 2007, Met in the Marine Corps, and proud mother of three wonderful boys.
And I agree McFarlane, I am looking forward to the 27th when my oldest goes back and I get a little break! I just don't have the energy right now to keep my girls entertained enough to not fight with each other.
momma to Grace (10/12/05) Paige (10/30/07) and Avery (12/13/12)
Awww I had a similiar experience with my son when he is that age but he came home happy. I think he was nervous at first. I hope she has a has good day
I guess I've been lucky so far. Ryleigh (7) has never been embarrassed for me to kiss and hug her when I drop her off at school. She always asks me to walk with her to the cafeteria in the morning. :) She goes back on the 15th. She doesn't want to start, but says she misses her friends. Everything will work out fine!
I love first day of school pics like that. You can never tell if they're not happy about school, if they're of the photography or totally embarrased that someone's taking their picture in the school. :) School started here yesterday and there have been a batch of them on fb! It will be funny to look back at the later. I'm sure she had a gret first day.
Mine were so excited yesterday, but DS's enthusiasm wore off quite a bit when I woke him up this morning. :)

They were the kind of games that champions win, and the city's baseball team won two of them in the span of a week with the stakes elevated to postseason proportion.
Down to their last out, the Phillies staged scintillating rallies to eliminate the Colorado Rockies from the National League division series, and then to take Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against Los Angeles.
In Colorado, Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth delivered the knockout blows. Against the Dodgers, Jimmy Rollins' aplomb allowed him to scorch a game-winning double into right-center field.
You just know there were cries from the city's football fans charging Donovan McNabb and company with being unable to come through in similar clutch situations.

For starters, wreaths can have square, circle or other forms and be covered with greenery, fabric, feathers or some of each.
It's up to the maker.
Embellishments, or the lack of them, are another choice. Whatever will make guests feel a special welcome during the season is the way to go.
While there are no right or wrong choices, some wreaths just seem to look better than others.
Popular wreath designers in the Charleston area talked about some of the features that make a wreath attractive.
Barbara Hamilton
"Some of the newer features for wreaths are battery operated lights and burlap ribbon," says Barbara Hamilton, manager at Hyams Garden and Accent Store. She makes custom wreaths for some and helps others finish ones they already have.
"This year everybody seems to be going for a real natural look, so many have berries and pine cones," she says. "Some may have a little glitter, but they are still a little more nature-oriented. The big selling color is champagne."
While Hamilton is seeing every style and fabric in bows, the use of burlap for bows is huge.
Terry Ritchen
The first thing to decide is where the wreath will be placed, says Terry Ritchen, a tri-county master gardener. Where the wreath will be used should help to determine what colors it will have.
Wreaths that will be used indoors should reflect the interior design choices; those to be used outdoors should reflect the surrounding natural colors.
"I would use dried natural flowers and leaves. You could use all boxwood, but you'd need a lot. You could also mix Fraser fir with pine.
"Combining different kinds of greenery just makes it more festive. You can't really use too many kinds. I would probably not use more than five because then it gets too busy. It's a matter of taste.
"If I wanted to do Victorian, I would add a lot of accessories, such as lacy baubles," she says, adding that a wreath does not have to be fancy to be beautiful.
Some people like contemporary styles, Ritchen says. Locally though, many prefer traditional, she adds. "Charleston is known for the plain wreath with a red bow. That is as traditional as you are going to get."
Whichever is chosen, the wreath maker should be sure to get the ribbon right, she says.
Jean Rogers
"I look for a theme, reindeer, snowmen or whatever sparks my fancy," says Jean Rogers, who sells wreaths at craft fairs. "Once I used green and blue balls, because they reminded me of Christmas lights. Sometimes, I will flock my wreaths for a snow theme."
Those making wreaths should try Magnolia leaves, artificial or real, Rogers says. She likes to line wreaths with them. The leaves add such drama, she might choose not to use a bow.
But that's unusual.
"Bows really make a wreath pop," Rogers says. "And the way it's positioned is important. Sometimes, instead of setting a bow at the center top of a wreath, I put it on the side. If I don't use a bow, I will use ribbon in some other way.
"Recently, I used two ribbons, a gold one and a red," she says. "I made a double bow, a large fluffy bow. Then I took the gold ribbon, which was very sparkly and wove it in and out of the wreath.
"At the bottom of the wreath, I had a beautiful gold angel. The angel looked like she was holding up something."
Judy Spence
Judy Spence likes to use the deco mesh ribbons when making wreaths, she says. The popular material, which has a texture that reminds her of crinoline, is available in a variety of colors and materials, allowing her to flex her creative muscles.
Spence says she sometimes gets inspiration from the materials she buys. Those who are a little crafty will have ideas pop into their heads. But, she realizes not everyone who wants to try their hand at making a holiday wreath is wired that way.
The latter can get their inspirations by walking the aisles of craft stores, Spence says. That will provide many examples and ideas. They can adapt the designs they like to work best in their homes.
There is no reason not to put a different wreath on your door every holiday season, Spence says.
"I pick up a roll of ribbon made with a print design. If it's got more than one color, I usually contrast the print with one of the solid colors. It just depends on what you want. It can be simple and you don't have to use a lot of money, unless you go overboard, like I sometimes do."
Like other wreath makers, Spence loves the bow.
"The bow is the main attraction," Spence says. "It's something that your eye just falls to."
A wreath without a bow is not going to stand out, she says. All the other pieces on a wreath are like the supporting cast.
The size of the wreath also makes a difference. A single door can take either an 18- or 24-inch wreath. But double doors would look better with an 18-inch wreath on each door. Those who want one for the bathroom can use a 10- or 12-inch wreath.

I'm crazy excited to announce a new giveaway today from the lovely folks at Pink Blush and Pink Blush Maternity! Absolutely gorgeous dresses, gowns,and clothing that you HAVE to check out! Before I get to the giveaway, I have to do a review of the lovely dresses that they sent me. After that, I'll tell you how you can get your hot little hands on this gift certificate and win $75 worth of amazing Pink Blush clothing of your own!
Pink Blush offers both a regular and maternity clothing line. Truth be told, I often look at maternity pieces because of my poochy belly. As a post-op gastric bypass patient who has never had any reconstructive surgery, a lot of my extra weight is in my midsection. I tend to be drawn to empire-waist styles, and so sometimes maternity-styles are a really good fit for me as long as they don't really accentuate the belly area and drape more like an empire waist. Pink Blush has a really great selection of just that type of style for me, so I had a HUGE selection to look from: both their regular and maternity line. I was like a kid in a candy store on their website!
The first gown I selected to review was the absolutely GORGEOUS "Red Lace Accent Chiffon Evening Gown." I cannot tell you how many compliments I got on this gown! I wore this to one of my performances that was outdoors on a breezy night, and it just draped and moved so beautifully in the wind:
The next dress I reviewed was a more casual one, but I'm already LIVING IN IT. It's so unbelievably comfortable, I never want to take it off! It's the "Olive Sleeveless Pocket Maxi Dress" and if this came in a hundred colors, I'd buy every single one of them!
First, the fabric is SUPER-SOFT. Next, I'm in LOVE with the pockets. I just think that such a small detail makes such a HUGE difference in the look of this dress, and the same with the small slits on the side of the dress. It's uber-comfortable, and for such a casual dress, it looks so chic' and trendy. I'm seriously in love with this one:
Ok, so now on to the good stuff: how do you win. I know you're dying to know, right?
To win, there's one mandatory component, and several different ways to get entries!
First, the mandatory: You must follow both me and Pink Blush & Pink Blush Maternity on Instagram or on Facebook. You have to be following the both of us on ONE of those platforms (preferably on Instagram). You can find us both here:

Hart, MD, DrPH, Loma Linda University Health President. "Zipcar is becoming a popular option on campuses across the country.

Participating members with smartphones, including iPhones and Android devices, will be able to download the Zipcar mobile application to make reservations, lock and unlock the vehicles, and honk the horn to help locate the vehicle. They will also be able to make reservations over the phone or on Zipcar's website.
"Together with Loma Linda University Health, we're enabling this next generation of drivers to experience a new generation of cars and transportation in a way that is both convenient and cost-effective, not to mention fun," said Katelyn Lopresti, general manager for Zipcar University.

Skip to comments.Fred Thompson's Guccis and the Iowans Who Love Them
Posted on 08/20/2007 7:58:29 AM PDT by hardback
Apparently, Fred Thompson had lapses of judgment during his trip to Iowa last week. No, he didnt suggest he would bomb Pakistan. He didnt state that he was going to take anybodys earned profits, nor did he make any similar political faux-pas. That was someone else. He did, however, wear Gucci loafers and ride around in a golf cart.
Thats right. According to Fox News, Thompsons Iowa travels involved mistakes such as wearing Gucci loafers at a country fair.
Really? Thats the mistake? Before we even get to the merits of wearing Gucci loafers (which in the video look a lot more like Ferragamo loafers, but I digress), it would be captivating to examine what that statement is saying about the people of Iowa.
Are all Iowans really so poor, backwards and unfashionable as to be offended by Gucci loafers? Apparently, to Fox News (and certainly much of the remaining media), Iowa is not too far above a Third World country, and wearing Gucci loafers to one of their country fairs is equivalent to driving your Ferrari through an impoverished Sri Lankan village while gnawing on a filet mignon. In both cases, it just might cause those sandal-wearing commoners a collective seizure.
By suggesting that a candidate might actually hurt his image among Iowans by wearing decent shoes and using a golf cart, the media is essentially treating Iowans much like the movie Borat treated southerners. What are presidential candidates supposed to wear when they go to Iowa anyway? Boots and overalls? Perhaps come in riding in one of Howard Deans pick-up trucks with a confederate flag on the back. Why dont we throw in a pitchfork, too? And knock out a couple of teeth, just to complete the image.
There is simply no reason for Americans to care what these candidates are wearing. After all, altering ones wardrobe solely for political advantage reflects a character worse than the one being avoided in the first place. It is a much lesser sin to dress and act in a manner permitted by your riches than to mislead others about your lifestyle of choice.
And so what if presidential candidates are rich? With the exception of John Heinz Kerry, they have earned the money they now have every right to spend as they wish. If dropping a few hundred dollars on a pair of shoes can satisfy a potential president and clear his mind even a tiny bit, then we should all be in full support of it. If he has become accustomed to a life of comfort that involves moving around in a golf cart, well, that just sounds like a much more efficient use of a valuable persons time.
By that logic, would it be a double-standard to disapprove of presidential candidate John Edwardss $400 haircut? Well, not necessarily.
We shouldnt mock John Edwards for being a peoples politician who spent $400 on his hair. We should mock him for being a human male who spent $400 on his hair. The idea here is that it is acceptable for politicians to take with them publicly what they are comfortable with in normal, private life. And while it is customary for the average Joe, or the average comfortable Joe, to wear Gucci shoes, little justifies that much money spent on a hair cut. What did that stylist do, trim each hair individually?
Well, also, the thought of John Edwards going on his poverty tour with a haircut that could buy someone an old car is fairly amusing as well.
But again, it shouldnt matter what he does with himself. In fact, we should encourage (legitimate) behavior that makes politicians more comfortable. For one, it encourages more qualified rich individuals to enter the political scene. Further, it decreases politicians stress levels, puts them in a better mood and gives them a more comfortable environment in which to brainstorm. And of course, it allows us to have a better view of who they really are.
Maybe in that new environment, Edwards can realize that when he forces up the minimum wage and raises taxes on the rich, including his favorite salon owner, that owner is going to have to fire many of his hair-sweepers and cut back on hiring more stylists which would just be so blasphemous.
Leave them alone. Let the politicians wear their Gucci loafers and get their magical haircuts. Let them get Gucci haircuts, whatever those are, for all we care. There are far more important things to worry about. Apparently some of the people running want to take our profits and bomb Pakistan with them
Two America's. One where metrosexuals get $400 haircuts and one wear they wear shoes.
I'm a LOT more worried about the other end of his body. It's obvious that FDT is not like John Edwards--for whom the only reason for his head is to hold up his hair.
Guccis are OK. I draw the line at Cole Hanns.
That would be an Edwards supporter.
I love that last line. Good article, but we wouldn't want politicians to become too genuine and unaffected. Wouldn't they then stick to giving speeches at large venues and forget about pressing the flesh at diners, kissing babies and eating hideous food at county fairs?
And they wonder why the media is tanking....
Betcha the Gucci's aren't made in China.
My shoe repair guy says buy Italian; they are worth repairing.
Can I get me a huntin' license here?
They really need o start reporting about substance. Like is he in touch with his inner woman?
Yah, main thing to do is avoid asian manufactured shoes . . . pieces o' junk.
Frankly I'm surprised that Thompson would be wearing Gucci loafers. He looks like a Deer Stag kinda guy to me.
Gee! Looks like he was passing gas!
My best loafers ever were Cole Hanns. I bought them at TJMaxx for $100.00 and wore them for at least six years resoling them several times until the sides finally broke down. I now carry a purse I bought at TJMaxx for over $300.00 and plan to carry for probably the rest of my life. In fact, maybe I'll have them bury me in it. Okay, it's not that big but I'll probably leave it to my daughter in my will, it's that nice. The last purse I bought was for $9 in a consignment shop. It's a Kilim and they retail for about $100.00. I carried it for about five years. Anyway, the point is, buying quality when you can afford it is worth the expense in the long run.
There are some people that just shouldn't be around firearms...
Stock on the shoulder, John.
When I worked for one of the major oil companies, there was a rumor that one of our VPs owned 200 pairs of Cole Hanns.
wore = worn
Well then he should be shot or at least get therapy. I feel guilt for having three pairs of sandels which all look about the same. I know that they're different though I love all three pairs. I'm one of those folks who if I had unlimited time and money would probably end up being a cat lady with 30 cats and 300 pairs of shoes.
Would they been happier if he wore Bruno Maglis?.........
Another story involved his purchase of a new Lexus, which was hammered by a hail storm while parked at the local airport. Some one made a snide remark that if he had bought an American car, it would have been parked in the repair shop and would've avoided the hail...
Other favorite leather stuff is Marc Andrew (aforementioned purse) and Hartmann luggage. The first time I took my Hartmann briefcase back into a judge's chambers, he took it, openned it up and took a deep breath which was sort of creepy. My new purse, people ask to smell it. I didn't think I had a leather fetish but good leather seems to bring it out in other people. Soon of course, Peta will make it as unfashionable as fur.
Wore is OK if you are from Tennessee ;-)
Only the media would recognize those shoes as Gucci's.
Amen to that! Also remember the CPU (cost per use). The more you wear/use it - the lower the cost per use becomes. I have a fabulous and very practical pair of brown leather Prada ankle boots I got for $225 (at their outlet, Space) and I wore them all last winter so the CPU is pretty low.
I also just bought a fantastic pair of Prada knee high black leather with faux fur inside (that you can roll down or wear up to the knee) for this winter. They were $475 at Space (they retail for $950!!) and I KNOW I'll get years and years of use out of them - AND they are top notch quality! I aknow I'll wear them all the time because they're like walking on soft pillows! :)
All I know is that I'm a Capricorn, and I like nice things. (*AND KNOW HOW TO WORK HARD TO ACQUIRE THEM.)
And finger OFF the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
Shocking as it may seem, there are actually people who live in Iowa that can afford to own Guccis.
Birkenstocks might be a different story, however.
The guy is about 6'5", for cring out loud, and doesn't weigh 155 pounds or have size 9 feet. He's not 16 years old. He needs good shoes.
I'm a tall person with larger feet and have to wear better shoes with good support when walking any distance or I feel it immediately.
His Gucci loafers are no doubt well broken-in and comfortable for all the walking and standing in 90-plus weather at a county fair. Heat makes the feet and ankles swell.
If I could afford it, I'd buy Gucci's or the equivalent to wear at lengthy street freeps in the Florida weather here.
Whew! Thankfully that probably won't happen.
Cole Haan sizes run so small that Fred would probably have to find a size 15 like I would to wear them. I wear a size 13 in normal shoes and I've yet to find a pair of Cole Haans that fit me.
he looks like he is afraid of that shotgun.
I have the same opinion. I've tried on a few Cole Hanns but they all pinched my feet.
I confess to having a Cole Haan leather duffle bag. :)
Now, Kenneth Cole...that's another story! :)
My Iowan grandmother doesn't know Gucci from Hush Puppies or Nikes.....but she knows all about co-sponsoring laws that infringe on 1A rights by imposing blackout periods on free speech.
Did you Iowan grandmother ever make a mistake? Did she ever own up to it and admit to the world that it was a mistake?
Anyway, the point is, buying quality when you can afford it is worth the expense in the long run.Pay cheap, pay twice!
No, my grandmother is the only infallible person ever known. /sarcasm
I know one thing about her, though. Other than infringing on my speech with a slap whenever I deserved it, she has never been a member of a branch of the government, has never infringed on 1A rights as a member of the government, and is not asking me to vote for her to have that power again.
"I, ElectricStrawberry, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic....."
I took and still take my oath very seriously (I'm sure you did/do as well....thank you for your service BTW) and I expect my elected leaders to do the same and will do everything legal and within my power to stop those elected officials that do overtly infringe upon Constitutional rights...."overtly" being the operative term....from ever holding office again. It's not like one needs the USSC to interpret that law in some way inconsistant with the Author's intent to come up with the infringement ruling. Blackout periods on free speech, especially political free speech, is as clear-cut as it gets.
How many other rights can Fred infringe upon, so long as he says "Oops...my mistake" afterwards? (Not a "cheating on my wife" mistake......a clear "violation of oath of office" mistake)
Take away your firearms? "Oops...my bad...shouldn't have done that...will you please vote for me to have that power again?"
Infringe upon your religious freedom? "Oops...my bad...shouldn't have done that...will you please vote for me to have that power again?"
Believe it, or not, people wear Gucci loafers in Iowa. The Iowa State Fair is in the capitol city of Des Moines, home to more insurance company home offices than any other city in the United States. People wear Gucci and other designer footwear in Des Moines and other parts of Iowa. Most folks in Iowa ARE NOT farmers!!
LOL. "Misspell" has two S's.
The Spell button is our friend. Someone (JohnRob, I'm guessing) went to a lot of trouble to put it on the Posting Comment page. :-)

Dear Heloise: This is a hint that many of my friends have thanked me for, and I thought your readers might find this useful:
I often purchase vintage embroidery projects, which may or may not have been previously started and ended up at an estate sale. Embroidery projects such as tablecloths are often worked on during several or more years, and many times are left for another generation to finish. It is often difficult to match brands and colors of threads on unfinished projects. I now take the label with the brand and color number and loosely sew it to the project using the colored thread from the skein. Sometimes I also sew the entire skein to the project if I intend to set the item aside, using the label to attach the skein. Now I no longer have to spend frustrating hours taking the article to the store and trying to color-match threads on old projects. - Bobbie, via e-mail
Embroidery projects can make great heirlooms. I liked your hint, and so will others, I'm sure. - Heloise
Here are some reader uses for address labels:
Karen deBlieux of Calhoun, La., says: "My favorite use for labels is to affix to plastic containers for taking to family, church or work-related events. I place a sticker on the lid and container."
Doloris Stolle of Mansfield, Ohio, says: "When attending a covered-dish dinner, put address stickers on the bottom of your dish and especially your big spoons and ladles."
Mary Ann Steelhammer of Kerrville says: "Our church has a day school and day care for infants through sixth grade. Since I have a lifetime supply of mailing labels from various charities, etc., I trim my name off and give what's left to our teachers. They say the kids love getting the stickers and put them on everything."
- Heloise
Dear Heloise: Before hanging any size picture on the wall, I grab a small comb and place the small or long nail between the threads of the comb. After the nail is balanced on the comb, I can then hammer the nail into the wall without having the nail fall and having me spend time finding it. The technique helps me get hold of the nail correctly. - Anna Victoria Reich, Stafford, Va.
Dear Heloise: My Sound Off is opening a bill from a company and having it include a discount offer for new subscribers. Obviously, I am not eligible for this, and it serves only to make me frustrated with the price I am paying per month. Hey, business owners, how about a discount now and then for your long-term loyal customers? - Don, via e-mail
Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 210-HELOISE or e-mail it to firstname.lastname@example.com.

George Zimmerman sells art to get out of debt
George Zimmerman, Florida's most known neighborhood watchman, is trying to get out of debt by selling original artwork on eBay, according to the New York Post and Vanity Fair magazine.
The painting, which looks like a detail of the American flag in monochromatic blues, went from an original bid of 99 cents to nearly $100,000 by Tuesday morning. So far, there have been 98 bids on the work. The auction ends Saturday. »Read Full Article(82)

Note: The purpose of the following problem is to provide an exercise in carrying out a unit process for the method of characteristics. A more extensive application to a complete flow field is left to your specific desires. Also, an extensive practical problem utilizing the finite-difference method requires a large number of arithmetic operations and is practical only on a digital computer. You are encouraged to set up such a problem at your leisure. The main purpose of the present chapter is to present the essence of several numerical methods, not to burden the reader with a lot of calculations or the requirement to write an extensive computer program.
Consider two points in a supersonic flow. These points are located in a cartesian coordinate system at (x1, y1) = (0, 0.0684) and (x2, y2)= (0.0121, 0), where the units are meters. At point (x1, y1): u 1 = 639 m/s, υ1= 232.6 m/s, p1 = 1 atm, T1 = 288 K. At point (x2, y2): u2 = 680 m/s, υ2= 0, p2 = 1 atm, T2 = 288 K. Consider point 3 downstream of points 1 and 2 located by the intersection of the C+ characteristic through point 2 and the C_ characteristic through point 1. At point 3, calculate: u3, υ3, p3, and T3. Also, calculate the location of point 3, assuming the characteristics between these points are straight lines.
