Start Growing Garlic in the Fall
Plant Your Garlic in Well-Drained Soil
Feed and Water Your Garlic Regularly
Harvest the Bulbs
Is Garlic Good Medicine?
Love Italian or Asian food? Then you probably love garlic. It's been adding its distinctive flavor to those cuisines for centuries. Now garlic has become very popular in American recipes, and growing your own will supply you with nice fresh cloves to season your cooking.
Garlic grows best during cool weather and stops in temperatures above 90 degrees. Plant it in the fall, around the first frost date, to mature the following summer. In warm-winter areas, you can plant until January. In cool climates, you can also plant in spring as soon as the soil is workable, but you'll get smaller bulbs.
Garlic tends to rot in poorly drained soils, so plant in raised beds or in well-drained soil amended with compost or other organic matter, such as Miracle-Gro® Organic Choice® Garden Soil. Set individual cloves pointy side up, 2-3 inches deep, and 6 inches apart in rows 1-2 feet apart.
Water your garlic to provide regular moisture and apply water-soluble plant food, such as Miracle-Gro® Water Soluble All Purpose Plant Food, once a week until the foliage starts to turn brown before harvest.
When half the garlic leaves begin to yellow and wilt, stop watering and push the plant tops over. Let the bulbs cure in the ground like this for a week. Then dig the bulbs up and hang them for a week or two in a dry, shady location with good air circulation.Once they're dry, trim off the tops and roots and store the bulbs in mesh bags in a cool place (40-50 degrees).
It's been said that garlic has medicinal qualities such as fighting colds, lowering cholesterol, decreasing blood sugar levels, and more. The jury's still out on some of these claims, but many people swear by garlic as a home remedy. It's certainly very good at making food taste better.

Favourites that I've come across:
1. The Gunmakers, Clerkenwell EC1
Probably my favourite pub in the country. Great landlord, faultless beer, excellent food. Plenty of choice, with beers normally sourced from London breweries or Purity brewery in Warwickshire. Perhaps the one pub in London that does a good pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord. Clerkenwell is great for a pub night - Jerusalem Tavern, Betsey Trottwood, Exmouth Arms to list just three.
2. The Bull and Swan, Stamford, Lincs.
Stamford is full of great pubs and worth a list itself, but the Bull and Swan has good food and drink coupled with excellent staff. Free house with Adnams + local guests usually on tap.
Any suggestions on others elsewhere?

Hi Ladies,
Just had a question for you all something I am so confused about, mainly because of the advice I hear from so many others who don't understand about breastfeeding.
My 11 mos old DS has really only been interested in solids since 9mos. and even then, really only eats about the equivalent of 4-6 ounces per day sometimes (we give him homeade baby food). He has just recently showed interest in mashed table foods, and last night actually fed himself a little ground mashed turkey and loved it.
Is there an amount of solids or ratio that babies should normally be eating at this age?
My dilemma is this: He also only nurses maybe 3 times during the day and 2-3x at night, still making plenty wet diapers/poops. He can go 5 hours without nursing/eating during the day. Is that normal? Also, I have not introduced any dairy to him (cheese/yogurt) because he is very sensitive to the dairy in my diet still, which I think is why he is late in starting solids (has many sensitivities).. After he turns 1 year soon, do I start slowly with the yogurt/cheese, and just keep nursing him on demand? After he is one year can I start offering solids before offering to nurse so that he might eat a little more? How does that work? Lately we have just been going "with the flow". Sometimes he wil nurse mid morning so I just offer solids for the lunch and nurse to sleep for afternoon naps, and sometimes it's the opposite where he'll nurse when he wakes up and then I'll nurse him again before lunch.
We have had many nursing battles along the way, DS is high need baby, nurses to sleep, cosleeps still, I decided long ago that I will let him wean himself.
It is just so frustrating to hear the advice from others lately, like my MIL (please for forgive) who told me that I should be "laying of the liquids with him and pushing the solids foods for nutrition)

The heavily forested hillside of our Christmas-treeing expedition outside of the college town of Pullman, Washington, reverberated with calls of our friends.
"Char, where are you?"
"Evelyn, are you still behind me?"
Calls to Mary, Beth, and Carolyn, but never did I hear, "Joannie, where are you?"
After our group had the Christmas trees cut and strapped to our respective cars, we all had a last cup of hot chocolate before we headed home. On the drive home, I sat stiffly on the front seat along side Ric. He seemed perfectly happy. I was not. Finally, I petulantly asked, "Why don't your ever check on me? All the other guys check on their wives or girlfriends?"
He looked across at me, shook his head and said, "I don't have to call for you. I know which rocks are going to interest you, which plants you will stop to look at, how many sugar pine cones you are going to gather. There is not a time that I can't walk right to where you are. I always know where you are. I always will."
This story was first published as a Christmas present for my family in the 2007 book, Along the Way, Stories from Here and There.


text: We finally won, that's the most important thing. But we had way too many turnovers, and it shouldn't have gone down to the wire like it did. We don't have a go-to scorer, so it's hard for us to execute down the stretch. Chandler came in and played great in the 4th. Other than a couple mental lapses, he had a great game. He posterized Okafor in the 1st, that was nasty! A win is a win, I'll take it after these past couple games.

Perfect beginners DSLR
By Anonymous
from Santa Clarita, CA, United States
Comments about Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR with 18-55mm IS II Lens Kit - Black:
I picked the T3 up, bundled with an 18-55 IS and a 75-300 several years ago to replace my aging EOS 350D. It's the camera that assisted me in becoming a professional photographer! It has all the manual settings you could ask for as a beginner, and takes crisp shots, especially for the price range. Nowadays I work with several 1Ds, 7Ds, and massive EF lenses while I shoot motorsports events, but the plucky little T3 still hangs with the big boys, especially if the user is good at post-processing. I always have it as a back up camera in case the weather gets nasty or the other, bigger cameras act up. Any entry level Rebel will be perfect for the beginner/intermediate photographer, and can be commercially successful if you put the work in. I highly recommend them if you're enthusiastic about photography and DSLRs but don't know where to start. Everything about the Rebels are easy to learn.

Great for beginners; terrible for Professional use
By TTLProPhoto
from Detroit, MI, United States
When it comes to learning, it can be a great tool. It is super cheap and produces decent images. If you are willing to learn and grow as a photographer, as well as get the 50mm 1.8, you can produce decent results. I love a lot of the pictures I have taken, but I definitely need a new camera. I have had it for over a year, and have taken around 200,000 shots. I like using it at 18mm on the kit or with my 50mm, but the kit is very unsharp at anything longer. The autofocus is absolutely terrible. I constantly find myself having issues because there are only 9 points, and even when there is plenty of light, it will search and give me the error because it can't focus. When I pair it with a 70-200L F/4, it does produce very sharp results for portraits, but that's only when there is a lot of light. For sports or wildlife, if you can't manually focus, forget about it. It is absolutely horrid even in AI Servo and while back-button-focusing. If you are getting this to move away from your point-and-shoot, then I say it can be a great learning tool, but I now need to invest in something better like a 7D mark II to do professional work.
Amazing Camera for beginners
By Sodolinskyiart
from Las Vegas
Canon EOS Very practical and amazing cameras for good start! I am using Canon already more then one year and there is no days i had which would make me feel not ready for picture time!
Great beginner purchase
By Alex
from Leavenworth, KS
Ordered this camera around a year and a half ago as my first SLR and am now just moving on to the Canon 70D. Great starting camera! Simple enough to use but also takes great photos in the process. Not the fastest to focus or sharpest when it comes to action but a great camera for landscape and portraits!
Difficult to use
By Will
from Stuart, Fl.
I've had a Rebel T3i for about a year. It will not take a picture that is any further then 30-49 feet. Beyond that, the image is tiny and not magnified. I have tried every trick I know. Changing lenses is useless. The 5x & 10x enhances the image only on the display screen. The actual picture is terrible and not at all enlarged. Every single time I use it, I'm disappointed.
Great Camera
By Cyberpip
from Florida
Have owned this camera for 4 years now. It has proven to be a versatile and very usable camera. Fast focusing and a fairly accurate metering system. It impressed me from day one. Light weght and comfortable to hold. I own other canons to include the 6D and 70D, but I still find myself gra bing this one for a days shooting simply because I am so used to it. It has never let me down.
The Little Camera That Can
By Writerdad
from Detroit, MI
While I'm a newcomer to the world of DSLR photography, I can't help but praise the capabilities of this amazing camera. it many of the features featured in more upscale cameras, but it's user friendly controls make learning its operation a snap. That said, you can take some amazing shots with the T3. I know because I have!
Best Entry Level Camera
By Gerard
from Canoga Park, CA
The Canon T3i for me is the best camera for DSLR beginners. The articulated screen is so convenient especially in hard angled views. the kit lens that comes with it will be a good practice lens. I am using this camera for low light shooting and astrophotography and am really happy with the results. I'm sure this camera would last long when properly cared and maintained.

Worst camera purchase ever
By Cedric
from Washington, D.C.
I have had the camera for two years, had to return it twice for defects under warranty, the first time one month after purchasing it because a glitch in the software made it impossible to eject the SD card. Now, I have to send the lens in, (third service request), because a screw has gotten loose and rattles inside, messing up the autofocus function, and at times blocking the manual adjustment altogether. In addition, from the beginning, there were multiple times when the focus just goes in and out, for ever, and makes it impossible to actually release the trigger. Needless to say, many great shots were missed because of this inability to simply shoot. I have had to disable automatic focus. But then again, it is easy to forget that I am no longer on automatic focus, and have to manually focus instead. Result: pictures end up being fuzzy. In short, this camera is a huge waste of time and money.

text: So I bought a high quality electric pump today to help increase my supply and to hopefully use when I go back to work. I fed my LO an hour ago so I thought I'd try to use it now on the side that I used then, since I'm going to feed him on the other side in a little while. But, nothing is coming out! I've been pumping for 10 minutes now and I have maybe a drop. What does that mean? Did I just not let down? Do I not have much supply on that side? It is a pretty small breast - A cup. Does that matter with supply? I stopped pumping and I can express a little with my hand...so why can't I with the pump?

A Descent Into The Maelstrom – August Unhappy Hour
Our nautically-themed August Unhappy Hour based upon Poe's tale "A Descent Into The Maelstrom" proved to be a bit prophetic in terms of weather, both on the actual night of the event and during the ensuing weekend when Richmond was paid a visit by Hurricane Irene.
The August 25th event started out a bit cloudy but to quote from Poe's tale of the Maelstrom, "In less than a minute the storm was upon us – in less than two the sky was entirely overcast – and what with this and the driving spray, it became suddenly so dark that we could not see each other …" Actually, the thunderstorm was not quite as bad as all that, but it was rather impressive nonetheless with heavy rains, lightning forking across the skies and ominous rumbles of thunder. In short, it was a PERFECT setting for our Unhappy Hour theme. Quite a few hardy souls braved the weather to come out and enjoy the Unhappy Hour festivities.
Many folks huddled up in the Poe Shrine to hear a wonderful program of sea shanties courtesy of the wonderful Bob Zentz and several of his friends that he brought along for the event. We were treated to a dazzling display of multi-instrumental goodness – instruments used included a hurdy gurdy, concertina, doumbek and many more.
Here is some video of the musical festivities in the Poe Shrine:
There are several more videos on the Poe Museum's Youtube Channel as well.
So a great time was had in spite of (or perhaps because of?) the literal Maelstrom outside. We are also happy that the Museum didn't suffer any significant damage as a result of Hurricane Irene's visit a couple of nights after the Unhappy Hour.
Don't forget that our next Unhappy Hour, which will feature Poe's most famous poem "The Raven" is coming up on September 22nd. We'll be joined by the Jack Winn Duo andquite possibly by a large, black bird!
There are quite a few great events coming up in September and October so make sure you stop by our Events Page on this website or visit us on our Facebook page to keep up with all the details!

Clueless in Seattle by correspondent Thomas Sachy, MD, MSc
I had been working on another article for this ongoing War on Pain (and pain medication) series when I came across a rather disturbing article in the January 27, 2012 edition of the Seattle Times [here]. I knew that I had to comment on it as soon as possible.
Under the headline, "'Preferred' pain drug now called last resort," the gist of this article is that doctors who treat pain in the State of Washington are now being warned that methadone is "riskier and more dangerous" than previously thought, and that it should be only rarely used since it is "unpredictable and poses a heightened risk of death." Judging by these comments, methadone may soon go the way in Washington State of now-discontinued propoxyphene in the U.S.
To be sure, I realize that newspaper articles can reflect sensationalism and hyperbole, so I want to note that I am not being confrontational with any physicians or opinion-leaders mentioned in the article. Nevertheless I am going to bluntly address several of the more incendiary statements made in this article that could eventually affect the public's ability to obtain methadone in Washington State, and in the rest of the country for that matter.
The article explains that Washington health officials previously encouraged physicians to prescribe methadone because it was as "safe and effective" as any other "narcotic" pain reliever, and because of its low cost, especially for those patients on Washington State's version of Medicaid. Apparently, officials had "consistently deflected" concerns about Methadone's dangers in the past, especially when it came to the state's lower income patients.
It seems that, in response to a Seattle Times expose detailing the accidental overdose deaths of nearly 2,200 patients prescribed methadone since 2003, state officials recently made an abrupt about face regarding the drug's use as an opioid analgesic. Now, physicians in Washington are receiving warnings that methadone is a riskier and more dangerous analgesic than the rest of the opioid family, and it should only be used as a "drug of last resort."
First, I hate the word "narcotic," as used in the news article. It is a legal term, not a medical one. From the DEA's own web site [here]: "In a legal context, narcotic refers to opium, opium derivitives [sic], and their semi-synthetic substitutes. Cocaine and coca leaves… are also classified as 'narcotics' in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA)."
Second, I do not know what a "derivitive" is, but I do know that methadone is an opioid analgesic. I know that it has the longest half-life of any currently marketed opioid. I also realize that there is medical literature (including a black box warning by the manufacturer) suggesting that methadone and its major metabolite, EDDP, may prolong the cardiac QTc interval and result in the serious arrhythmia torsade de pointes.
I further know that methadone binds to the glutamatergic NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor, thus modulating glutamate, a primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. As such, methadone mediates, among other things, peripheral pain sensitization and visceral pain; beneficial effects that no other opioid is known to produce in a significant way. Although methadone is now deemed a last-resort drug in Washington State, the article also states contradictorily, "methadone is an indispensable drug and plays an important role in the treatment of many patients."
Why? Well, besides being an NMDA modulator, the main reason methadone is indispensable in the world of pain management is that, due to individual genetic polymorphisms, each and every patient with pain will respond differently to each and every opioid analgesic. This fact should be evident to anyone who takes the time to read the medical literature; however, it would appear that many pain physicians and other medical specialists fail to appreciate this unassailable fact.
This further means that any particular opioid analgesic medication will not work equally well, or at all, for every patient with pain. THAT'S IT! DONE! And so, those who claim to be pain management practitioners, and those in the press who report on this topic, must get it out of their heads that the various opioid analgesics are interchangeable in the context of pain-management. For example, morphine is not a substitute for methadone, as the article seems to suggest.
Therefore, pain patients and pain physicians need to have methadone in their armamentarium. For examples, to most people, drinking only cola is not sufficient — we need grape, orange, and other flavors to stimulate our taste sensors. Similarly, we also need a panoply of opioids to work on our individual pain control systems that rely on our individual repertoires of opioid receptors.
As such, no ethical or competent pain management physician would dare force a patient with pain to take a particular opioid analgesic merely because (1) it is that physician's "favorite" due to his/her familiarity/comfort level with it, (2) it is cheap, (3) it is allegedly "safer," or (4) it is or is not a "last resort."
The truth is that all opioids are unsafe if improperly taken. All opioids also act differently in different patients; so, there can be no room in ethical pain management for "favorite opioids," "comfortable choices," "cheap" alternatives for the poor, or "last resorts."
Opioid analgesics should always be prescribed to patients based on what works best for them. This entails getting a detailed history from patients about the various pain medications they have been prescribed in the past and what their responses to those analgesics have been. If a patient is seeking chronic pain management for the first time, then the most scientifically valid, yet most simplistic algorithm for choice of opioid pain management should be employed — that is, start low and go slow. And, a note to pain specialists: listen to your patients — they know about their pain and its treatment history far better than you do.
One final thought: according to the Seattle Times article, the chief medical officer of Washington State's Medicaid program states that physicians in the state are "stepping up efforts to unravel the long-term impact on the body from prolonged use of prescription [opioid] drugs." My humble recommendation to him would be to begin by…
- reviewing the detailed 5,000-year-old history of opioid use by mankind,
- researching the effects that the ubiquitous, endogenous opioids have on human beings, and
- openly publishing his findings regarding the long term impact on the body from prescription opioid analgesics, apart from abuse-related overdose, the neurological disease of addiction, and perhaps some other neuro-hormonal effects that opioids may have in select patients.

32 CFR Part 57, Appendix G to Part 57 - Mediation and Hearing Procedures
Appendix G to Part 57—Mediation and Hearing Procedures
A. Purpose
This appendix establishes requirements for the resolution of conflicts through mediation and impartial due process hearings. Parents of infants, toddlers, and children who are covered by this Part and, as the case may be, the cognizant Military Medical Department or the DoD school system are afforded impartial mediation and/or impartial due process hearings and administrative appeals about the provision of EIS, or the identification, evaluation, educational placement of, and the FAPE provided to, such children by the Department of Defense, in accordance with sections 927 and 1400 of 20 U.S.C. and section 2164 of 10 U.S.C.
B. Mediation
(1) Mediation may be initiated by either a parent or the Military Medical Department concerned or the DoD school system to resolve informally a disagreement on any matter relating to the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of the child, or the provision of a FAPE to such child.
(i) The DoD school system shall participate in mediation involving special education and related services.
(ii) The cognizant Military Medical Department shall participate in mediation involving EIS.
(2) The party initiating mediation must notify the other party to the mediation of its request to mediate. The initiating party's request must be written, include a written description of the dispute and bear the signature of the requesting party. Formal acknowledgement of the request for mediation shall occur in a timely manner. The parties may jointly request mediation.
(3) Upon agreement of the parties to mediate a dispute, the Military Medical Department or DoD school shall forward a request for a mediator to higher headquarters, or request a mediator through the Director, Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA).
(i) The cognizant DoDDS Area Special Education Coordinator or the DDESS District Superintendent shall promptly appoint a mediator. The Director, DOHA, through the DoHA Office of Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR), shall maintain a roster of mediators trained in ADR methods, knowledgeable in laws and regulations related to special education, and available to mediate disputes upon request. When requested, the Director, DOHA, through the Office of ADR, shall appoint a mediator within 15 business days of receiving the request for a due process hearing, unless a party provides written notice to the Director, DOHA that the party refuses to participate in mediation.
(ii) The mediator assigned to a dispute shall not be employed by the Military Medical Department or the DoD school system involved, unless the parties agree otherwise.
(4) Unless both parties agree otherwise, mediation shall commence in a timely manner after both parties agree to mediation.
(5) The parents of the infant, toddler or child and 2 representatives of the EDIS or DoD school may participate in mediation. With the consent of both parties, other persons may participate in mediation. Either party may recess a mediation session to consult advisors, whether or not present, or to consult privately with the mediator.
(6) If the parties resolve the dispute or a portion of the dispute, or agree to use another procedure to resolve the dispute, the mediator shall ensure that the resolution or agreement is reduced to writing and that it is signed and dated by the parties and that a copy is given to each party. The resolution or agreement is legally binding upon the parties.
(7) Discussions that occur during the mediation process shall be confidential and may not be used as evidence in any subsequent due process hearing or civil proceeding. Unless the parties and the mediator agree, no person may record a mediation session, nor should any written notes be taken from the room by either party. The mediator may require the parties to sign a confidentiality pledge before the commencement of mediation.
(8) Parents must be provided an opportunity to meet with appropriate EDIS or DoD school system staff in at least one mediation session, if they request a due process hearing in accordance with sections A through H of this appendix. The parents and the Military Medical Department or DoD school system must participate in mediation, unless a party objects to mediation.
(9) Mediation shall not delay hearings or appeals related to the dispute. All mediation sessions shall be held in a location that is convenient to the parties. The Military Medical Department in mediations concerning EIS or the DoD school system in mediations concerning special education and related services shall bear the cost of the mediation process.
(10) Any hearing officer or adjudicative body may draw no negative inference from the fact that a mediator or a party withdrew from mediation or that mediation did not result in settlement of a dispute.
C. Hearing Administration
(1) The Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA) shall have administrative responsibility for the proceedings authorized by sections D through H of this appendix.
(2) This appendix shall be administered to ensure that the findings, judgments, and determinations made are prompt, fair, and impartial.
(3) Impartial hearing officers, who shall be DOHA Administrative Judges, shall be appointed by the Director, DOHA, and shall be attorneys in good standing of the bar of any State, the District of Columbia, or a commonwealth, territory or possession of the United States, who are also independent of the DoD school system or the Military Medical Department concerned in proceedings conducted under this appendix. A parent shall have the right to be represented in such proceedings by counsel or by persons with special knowledge or training with respect to the challenges of individuals with disabilities. The DOHA Department Counsel normally shall appear and represent the DoD school system in proceedings conducted under this appendix, when such proceedings involve a child age 3 to 21, inclusive. When an infant or toddler is involved, the Military Medical Department responsible under this part for delivering EIS shall either provide its own counsel or request counsel from the DOHA.
D. Hearing Practice and Procedure
(1) Hearing. (i) Should mediation be refused or otherwise fail to resolve the issues on the provision of EIS to an infant or toddler or the identification or evaluation of such an individual, the parent may request and shall receive a hearing before a hearing officer to resolve the matter. The parents of an infant or toddler and the Military Medical Department concerned shall be the only parties to a hearing conducted under this appendix.
(ii) Should mediation be refused or otherwise fail to resolve the issues on the provision of a FAPE to a child with a disability, age 3 to 21, inclusive, or the identification, evaluation, or educational placement of such an individual, the parent or the school principal, for the DoD school system, may request and shall receive a hearing before a hearing officer to resolve the matter. The parents of a child age 3 to 21, inclusive, and the DoD school system shall be the only parties to a hearing conducted under this appendix.
(2) The parents and the Military Medical Department or DoD school system must have an opportunity to obtain an impartial due process hearing, if the parents object to:
(i) A proposed formal educational assessment or proposed denial of a formal educational assessment of their child.
(ii) The proposed placement of their child in, or transfer of their child to a special education program.
(iii) The proposed denial of placement of their child in a special education program or the transfer of their child from a special education program.
(iv) The proposed provision or addition of special education services for their child; or
(v) The proposed denial or removal of special education services for their child.
(3) The parent or the attorney representing the child shall include in the petition, the name of the child, the address of the residence of the child, the name of the school the child is attending, a description of the nature of the problem of the child relating to the proposed or refused initiation or change, including the facts relating to the problem, and a proposed resolution of the problem to the extent known and available to the parents at the time.
(4) The DoD school system may file a written petition for a hearing to override a parent's refusal to grant consent for an initial evaluation, a reevaluation or an initial educational placement of the child. The DoD school system may also file a written petition for a hearing to override a parent's refusal to accept an IEP.
(5) The party seeking the hearing shall submit the petition to the Director, DOHA, at P.O. Box 3656, Arlington, Virginia 22203. The petitioner shall deliver a copy of the petition to the opposing party (i.e., the parent or the school principal, for the DoD school system, or the military MTF commander, for the Military Medical Department), either in person or by first-class mail, postage prepaid. Delivery is complete on mailing. When the DoD school system or the Military Medical Department petitions for a hearing, it shall inform the other parties of the deadline for filing an answer under paragraph D.(6) of this appendix and shall provide the other parties with a copy of this part.
(6) An opposing party shall submit an answer to the petition to the Director, DOHA, with a copy to the petitioner, at the latest by the 15th business day after receipt of the petition. The answer shall be as full and complete as possible, addressing the issues, facts, and proposed relief. The submission of the answer is complete upon mailing.
(7) By 10 business days after receipt of the petition, the Director, DOHA, shall assign a hearing officer, who then shall have jurisdiction over the resulting proceedings. The Director, DOHA, shall forward all pleadings to the hearing officer.
(8) The party requesting the hearing shall plead with specificity as to what issues are in dispute and all issues not specifically pleaded with specificity is deemed waived. Parties must limit evidence to the issues specifically pleaded. A party may amend a pleading if the amendment is filed with the hearing officer and is received by the other parties at least 10 business days before the hearing.
(9) The Director, DOHA, shall arrange for the time and place of the hearing, and shall provide administrative support. The hearing shall be held in the DoD school district attended by the child or at the military base location of the EDIS clinic, unless the parties agree otherwise or upon a showing of good cause.
(10) The purpose of a hearing is to establish the relevant facts necessary for the hearing officer to reach a fair and impartial determination of the case. Oral and documentary evidence that is relevant and material may be received. The technical rules of evidence shall be relaxed to permit the development of a full evidentiary record with the Federal Rules of Evidence, title 28, United States Code serving as guide.
(11) The hearing officer shall be the presiding officer, with judicial powers to manage the proceeding and conduct the hearing. Those powers shall include the authority to order an independent evaluation of the child at the expense of the DoD school system or the Military Medical Department concerned and to call and question witnesses.
(12) Those normally authorized to attend a hearing shall be the parents of the individual with disabilities, the counsel or personal representative of the parents, the counsel and professional employees of the DoDDS or the Military Medical Department concerned, the hearing officer, and a person qualified to transcribe or record the proceedings. The hearing officer may permit other persons to attend the hearing, consistent with the privacy interests of the parents and the individual with disabilities. The parents have the right to an open hearing on waiving in writing their privacy rights and those of the individual with disabilities who is the subject of the hearing.
(13) A verbatim transcription of the hearing shall be made in written or electronic form and shall become a permanent part of the record. A copy of the written transcript or electronic record of the hearing shall be made available to a parent on request and without cost. The hearing officer may allow corrections to the written transcript or electronic recording for conforming it to actual testimony after adequate notice of such changes is given to all parties.
(14) The hearing officer's decision of the case shall be based on the record, which shall include the petition, the answer, the written transcript or the electronic recording of the hearing, exhibits admitted into evidence, pleadings or correspondence properly filed and served on all parties, and such other matters as the hearing officer may include in the record, if such matter is made available to all parties before the record is closed under paragraph D.(16) of this appendix.
(15) The hearing officer shall make a full and complete record of a case presented for adjudication.
(16) The hearing officer shall decide when the record in a case is closed.
(17) The hearing officer shall issue findings of fact and conclusions of law in a case not later than 50 business days after being assigned to the case, unless a request for discovery is made by either party, as provided for in paragraph D.(5) of this appendix in which case the time required for such discovery does not count toward the 50 business days. The hearing officer may grant a specific extension of time for good cause either on his or her own motion or at the request of either party. Good cause includes the time required for mediation under section B of this appendix. If the hearing officer grants an extension of time, he or she shall identify the length of the extension and the reason for the extension in the record of the proceeding.
E. Discovery
(1) Full discovery shall be available to parties to the proceeding, with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rules 26-37, codified at 28 U.S.C. serving as a guide.
(2) If voluntary discovery cannot be accomplished, a party seeking discovery may file a motion with the hearing officer to accomplish discovery. The hearing officer shall grant an order to accomplish discovery upon a showing that the requested evidence is relevant and necessary. Relevant evidence is necessary when it is not cumulative and when it would contribute to a party's presentation of the case in some positive way on a matter in issue. A matter is not in issue when it is admitted or stipulated as a fact. An order granting discovery shall be enforceable as is an order compelling testimony or the production of evidence.
(3) Records compiled or created in the regular course of business, which have been provided to a party prior to hearing in accordance with paragraph E.(2) of this appendix may be received and considered by the officer without authenticating witnesses.
F. Witnesses; Production of Evidence
(1) All witnesses testifying at the hearing shall be advised that it is a criminal offense knowingly and willfully to make a false statement or representation to a Department or Agency of the U.S. Government as to any matter in the jurisdiction of that Department or Agency. All witnesses shall be subject to cross-examination by the parties.
(2) A party calling a witness shall bear the witness' travel and incidental expenses associated with testifying at the hearing. The DoD school system or the Military Medical Department concerned shall pay such expenses when a witness is called by the hearing officer.
(3) The hearing officer may issue an order compelling the attendance of witnesses or the production of evidence on the hearing officer's own motion or, if good cause can be shown, on motion of either party.
(4) When the hearing officer determines that a person has failed to obey an order to testify or to produce evidence, and such failure is in knowing and willful disregard of the order, the hearing officer shall so certify.
(5) The party or the hearing officer seeking to compel testimony or the production of evidence may, based on the certification provided for in paragraph F.(4) of this appendix file an appropriate action in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel compliance with the hearing officer's order.
(6) At least 5 business days prior to a hearing, the parties shall exchange lists of all documents and materials that each party intends to use at the hearing, including all evaluations and reports. Each party also shall disclose the names of all witnesses it intends to call at hearing along with a proffer of the anticipated testimony of each witness.
(7) At least 10 business days in advance of hearing, each party must provide the name, title, curriculum vitae, and summary of proposed testimony of any expert witness it intends to call at hearing.
(8) Failure to disclose documents, materials, or witnesses pursuant to paragraphs F.(6) and F.(7) of this appendix may result in the hearing officer barring their introduction at the hearing.
G. Hearing Officer's Findings of Fact and Decision
(1) The hearing officer shall make written findings of fact and shall issue a decision setting forth the questions presented, the resolution of those questions, and the rationale for the resolution. The hearing officer shall file the findings of fact and decision with the Director, DOHA, with a copy to the parties.
(2) The Director, DOHA, shall forward to the Director, of the DoD school system, or to the Military Medical Department concerned, copies with all personally identifiable information deleted, of the hearing officer's findings of fact and decision or, in cases that are administratively appealed, of the final decision of the DOHA Appeal Board.
(3) The findings of fact and decision of the hearing officer shall become final unless a notice of appeal is filed under section I of this appendix. The DoD school system or the Military Medical Department concerned shall implement the decision as soon as practicable after it becomes final.
H. Determination Without Hearing
(1) At the request of a parent of an infant, toddler, or child age 3 to 21, inclusive, when early intervention or special educational (including related) services are at issue, the requirement for a hearing may be waived, and the case may be submitted to the hearing officer on written documents filed by the parties. The hearing officer shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law in the period fixed by paragraph D.(17) of this appendix.
(2) The DoD school system or the Military Medical Department concerned may oppose a request to waive a hearing. In that event, the hearing officer shall rule on that request.
(3) Documents submitted to the hearing officer in a case determined without a hearing shall comply with paragraph F.(6) of this appendix. A party submitting such documents shall provide copies to all other parties.
I. Appeal
(1) A party may appeal the hearing officer's findings of fact and decision by filing a written notice of appeal with the Director, DOHA, at P.O. Box 3656, Arlington, Virginia 22203, within 15 business days of receipt of the findings of fact and conclusions of law. The notice of appeal must contain the appellant's certification that a copy of the notice of appeal has been provided to all other parties. Filing is complete on mailing.
(2) Within 30 business days of receipt of the notice of appeal, the appellant shall submit a written statement of issues and arguments to the Director, DOHA, with a copy to the other parties. The other parties shall submit a reply or replies to the Director, DOHA, within 20 business days of receiving the statement, and shall deliver a copy of each reply to the appellant. Submission is complete on mailing.
(3) The Director, DOHA, shall refer the matter on appeal to the DOHA Appeal Board. It shall determine the matter, including the making of interlocutory rulings, within 45 business days of receiving timely submitted replies under paragraph I.(2) of this appendix.
(4) The determination of the DOHA Appeal Board shall be a final administrative decision and shall be in written form. It shall address the issues presented and set forth a rationale for the decision reached. A determination denying the appeal of a parent in whole or in part shall state that the parent has the right under sections 921-932 and chapter 33 of title 20, United States Code to bring a civil action on the matters in dispute in a district court of the United States of competent jurisdiction without regard to the amount in controversy.
(5) No provision of this part or other DoD guidance may be construed as conferring a further right of administrative review. A party must exhaust all administrative remedies afforded by this appendix before seeking judicial review of a determination made under this appendix.
J. Publication and Indexing of Final Decisions
The Director, DOHA, shall ensure that final decisions in cases arising under this appendix are published and indexed to protect the privacy rights of the parents who are parties in those cases and the children of such parents, in accordance with DoD Directive 5400.11.

Caitlin Canty is a Vermont originalBy Janelle Faignant
Staff Writer | January 02,2014Photo courtesy of Caitlin Canty
Brandon Music will welcome back singer-songwriter Caitlin Canty on Saturday.Authentic is the word that fits Caitlin Canty. It resonates. Its the word that comes to mind when she first answers the phone, and its a description many reviewers have used to describe her music.
The 31-year-old singer-songwriters sound straddles genres, producing a melting pot of rock-folk-blues-alt-country. She has released two full-length albums, with a third on the way. Live Album Review online called her second album, Golden Hour, eleven exquisite songs of bedroom folk and gentle Americana that deserve a wider audience.
Her soulful melodies bear her personal stamp and have been steadily catching on. She will be performing Saturday at Brandon Music at 7:30 p.m., with fellow Vermonter, musician Matt Lorenz of the roots-rock/junk-folk trio Rusty Belle, for their first-ever Vermont appearance together.
Canty grew up in Proctor, but has lived in New York City for several years now. She sang a lot in high school, and was in chorus and played trombone, but was more of a jock. She went to a liberal arts college and took a couple of classes in songwriting, dabbling in it, but it didnt appear obvious that she would establish a career in music early on.
Crafting my own stuff was later on, she said in a recent interview.
After college Canty found a job in the music industry, as the first employee of a startup, where she says she learned how to put on a live show.
During that time she played music on the side, but felt she didnt really have anything to say yet. She was still figuring out how to play music and make a living at it.
It took a long time to learn how to navigate (the music) world, Canty said. (You) kind of make it up as you go along, honestly. Not just writing the songs but the business side of things.
Canty kept it up while working her day job. New York Citys live music venues became a testing ground for her. She started out playing the terrible slots, early slots, very late slots, eventually bringing more and more people out to hear her, earning better time slots.
You just build it by being there and trying, Canty said. (There isnt) any kind of how-to. Just try to do the best you can with every show I think.
A little later Canty got a job in sustainability consulting, still playing frequently on the side, eventually releasing a couple of albums.
Then I just quit (the day job), she said. I really didnt think I could take myself seriously if I werent 100 percent behind what I was doing. Its hard to split yourself between things and expect that youll do both well.
Five years later, that decision has bode well for Canty, who is a full-time musician now.
Her songwriting process varies, and possibly depends on the song and the day. The essence of creativity, it seems to evolve and flow with whatever is working.
The process lately has been dont sit around, Canty said. If I have an idea I try to stop everything and go hide from the world and finish it.
Many of her songs spark from situations in life, she says.
A line somebody says, or some theme thats cutting across my own life or my friends lives. Maybe a line or two, (and when) it comes together melodically thats like a little seed.
At that point Canty says she tries to detach from the story.
It becomes more about following that seed and trying to make the best song from that idea. Theres something very personal about it at the start, the beginning is the most personal, and then it becomes an attempt to be more universal.
Keeping track of ideas is also part of the process, and she has a cache of them in development on an ongoing basis.
When Im about to make a record, Im writing a lot of songs, Im digging through the ones I left behind ... (its) an exciting time, she said. Because you have to put off everything else, like touring, or making dinner, she laughed.
Canty has been collaborating with many musicians, including Lorentz, who backs Canty in the upcoming show and appears on her latest album.
I was learning a lot from him and we started writing a bunch of songs, Canty recalled.
You figure out the process, and you work with other songwriters.
Canty says sometimes it works, sometimes something is written in a few hours and its great, and then there are times nothing comes from a session, but the process is always valuable.
Someone elses tricks and tools of getting to the point, or figuring out a chord or, you know, working next to people and seeing how they work you can see for yourself how they think and craft something.
Canty and Lorenz have been collaborating for years and the Brandon Music show will showcase Lorenzs Suitcase Junket, where he plays a bunch of instruments as one setup some percussion instruments played with his feet, singing, and guitar, fiddle or banjo to back Canty up.
She says they met after playing back-to-back shows at a music festival and found they were fans of each others music. After four years writing and performing together, this will be their first Vermont show together.
Brandon Music
Brandon Music presents singer-songwriter Caitlin Canty, with Matt Lorenz, at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 4, at the Brandon Music Café, 62 Country Club Road in Brandon. Admission is $15 (a pre-concert dinner available for $15; reservations recommended; BYOB); call 802-465-4071, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Review of drug law must net results
Misuse of legal drugs has become a leading cause of death in Ohio, surpassing the toll taken by vehicle crashes.
Steps are being taken through a state law enacted in 2011 to curb what has become an epidemic. Prescription drug abuse shows no signs of decreasing, however.
A special committee formed by the state House of Representatives is holding hearings on the issue throughout the state. But much of what the House Prescription Drug Addiction and Healthcare Reform Committee is hearing is horror stories from abusers and their families.
Surely we already know enough about that. Abuse of prescription drugs has much in common with addiction to illegal substances such as cocaine and heroin. It can devastate families, ruin lives – and take them.
No one can pin the death toll down with certainty. But the Ohio State Medical Association found that from 2006 to 2008, drug overdoses claimed an average of about four lives a day in the Buckeye State.
Opioid painkillers including oxycodone and hydrocodone are the chief culprits in the epidemic. Such drugs are important in treating patients who experience severe and/or chronic pain. Abused, however, they are addictive and can be deadly.
Measures in the 2011 law include licensing of pain management clinics and limits on the amounts of drugs they can dispense. While they may curb abuses by legitimate businesses, it does nothing to crack down on illegal "pill mills," which often buy drugs in quantity outside the state, then sell them to Ohio addicts at huge profits.
Members of the House committee should be investigating how well the new law has worked. Then, in consultation with health care professionals such as the Medical Association, they should discuss what additional action can be taken.
More needs to be done to squeeze the drug pipelines feeding Ohioans' additions. If new, effective tactics are not devised, the death toll from prescription drug abuse will continue to rise.

Chalet Renard Bleu Reviews
No reviews yet
500 m
500 m
150 m
Town Center
150 m
The beautifully designed chalet Renard Bleu was built specifically in 2013, right in the heart of Les 2 Alpes, and close to the popular Venosc Square with its many shops, bars and restaurants. Only the Renard Bleu and Chalet Loup Blanc can boast of such fantastic accommodation and facilities in such an enviable location.
Guests will appreciate the chalets' close proximity to the skiing and easy access to the resort centre. Just 500m walk across the square to the new Diable 6 seater chairlift (which last year replaced the gondola, fondly known as the 'Red Eggs'). This long but fast lift will whisk skiers up to the Les Crêtes area and beyond. Alternatively take the Super Venosc chairlift, across the square taking you to the Vallée Blanche ski area on the other side of the valley, which is now connected to the main ski area by the Côte blue run and the Petite Aiguille chairlift. The world's fastest gondola, the Jandri Express, which delivers skiers to the glacier in only 7 minutes, is also an option for ski access each day.
The chalet Renard Bleu has been designed to a high specification in a classic alpine style, with attractive facades of exposed stone and warm woods, coupled with fresh open-plan interiors furnished with contemporary flair. The well appointed lounge and dining area of each chalet will include a feature fireplace and plenty of comfortable seating, but the real wow factor lies beyond, through the double French windows which lead to the decked terrace area and the outdoor covered plunge pool. You may be tempted to take a dip at any time, thanks to the pool being both heated and covered in an attractive glass canopy.
Each of the Renard Bleu's bedrooms is a good size with wooden floors, panelled walls and some exposed beams as well as smart modern shower rooms. Many of them also benefit from a balcony.
A sauna on the ground floor of each chalet completes the sense of quality and style which our guests have come to expect from recent additions to our portfolio. Approximate transfer times to resort: Chambéry 2¼ hours, Geneva 3 hours.

We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff during the pre-season training course are trained to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health's Level 2 in Food Safety*. For six days of the week our staff prepare all your meals, as described below.
A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff's one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.
Afternoon Tea
The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff's one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. As an added benefit for guests in our Chalet Hotels, our chefs prepare a selection of cakes for afternoon tea.
Children's High Tea
In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children's tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.
Dinner in Chalets
A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host – or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets – and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.

Apples, pears, berries: All thrive in gardens throughout Ohio.
Papaws, however, are often overlooked — and that's a shame, according to Neal Peterson, a papaw grower and owner of Peterson Pawpaws in Harpers Ferry, W.Va.
The trees, which grow wild throughout much of the eastern United States, are easily cultivated in a yard or home orchard, he said.
The delicate fruit, nicknamed the Indiana banana and honored as Ohio's state fruit, isn't widely sold because it doesn't store or travel well — all the more reason to start your own papaw patch.
The flavor of the fruit — which ripens in late summer and early fall — has been likened to mango and banana, and described as tropical or floral. The texture resembles custard.
In appearance, the fruit could be compared to a chubby pear on steroids; it's North America's largest native fruit.
Peterson, who caught the papaw bug decades ago, evaluated 1,500 wild trees and developed six commercially available varieties based on fruit size, flavor, yield and a high ratio of flesh to seeds. The varieties are Allegheny, Potomac, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Susquehanna and Wabash. (Rappahannock, which grows better farther south, is the only one he doesn't recommend for central Ohio.)
As with some other trees, papaws require two varieties
for pollination and fruit production.
Growing requirements are straightforward.
"In Ohio, the climate's perfect," Peterson said.
The best fruit production occurs in full sun, he said, but papaws are "so adaptable, they will grow in shade or sun."
Spring is the best time to plant young trees, and they require conscientious watering the first year.
"They love a rich soil," Peterson said. "Although they want drainage, they love moisture."
As for planting distance, "You have tons of flexibility with papaws," he said.
You could plant a pair 2 feet apart and have them intertwine as they mature, he said, or plant them 30 feet apart and still achieve pollination. (The spring flowers are pollinated by flies and beetles.)
Although the exotic fruit is the draw for most fans, papaws serve other purposes, too. The leaves, for instance, are the only food source for zebra swallowtail caterpillars.
The butterflies look like nature took a few drops of zebra essence and traded the hooves for paper-thin wings — an unforgettable sight among the colorful flowers of an Ohio garden or prairie during late summer.
So, if you spy a green caterpillar munching on a leaf, tip your garden hat to a fellow creature who appreciates the unsung papaw.

"The Self-destruction of Arizona"
Op-Ed, The Boston Globe
April 9, 2012
Author: Juliette Kayyem, Belfer Lecturer in Inernational Security, Harvard Kennedy School
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
WITH ALL the problems in education these days, Arizona's state superintendent of public instruction, John Huppenthal, thinks he has the answer. He just completed a successful effort to suspend Mexican-American studies from the public schools in this city, claiming such classes teach students to resent Anglos. Now convinced that the universities that train public school teachers are also to blame for such biases, he is launching an effort to eradicate Mexican-American studies from the entire University of Arizona system.
Driving along these cactus roads towards the Mexican border, it's hard not to think of all the energy being wasted by Arizona's leaders on a false threat multiculturalism and how much the state is paying for it. It's like a global party is going on, and Arizona's Republican leadership is waiting by the phone, in an ugly dress, wondering why no one is paying attention.
It seems there is a 51st state. It's called faux-Arizona and is led by Governor Jan Brewer. To believe her, it's a horrible place to be, and tough laws and potentially unconstitutional efforts to eradicate illegal immigration are the only response.
The communities along the border, however, tell a different story; they're for the most part peaceful places with vibrant communities and civic life. No amount of fear-mongering can change basic statistics: Illegal border crossings are down. Border enforcement is up. There is almost no spillover violence from Mexican gangs. Even legal immigration inflows are down. Indeed, the worst harm illegal immigrants have inflicted on Arizona's economy has been to spark an overzealous response; Brewer's crackdown has so frightened or offended people outside the state that they are staying away, including tourists and foreign investors.
The anti-immigrant fervor is not about the future of Arizona; it's more of a last stand against it. Almost 20 percent of the voting age population here is Hispanic. The demographics are changing and no amount of "send them back" will alter that. This is certainly what Democrats here are hoping for. They just elected new mayors in Tucson and Phoenix. President Barack Obama is sensing an opportunity and organizing diligently in a state that, besides Bill Clinton's romp over Bob Dole in 1996, has not voted for a Democrat since Harry Truman in 1948. But just campaigning here is useful to the president; if nothing else it probably obliges Mitt Romney to do a photo-op with Brewer.
But perhaps the most unappreciated aspect of Arizona's retro-battle against immigration is that it seeks to freeze the state in the 1970s; while Arizona moves backward, its neighbors are jumping ahead.
Later this week the heads of state and government of 34 nations in this hemisphere will meet in Cartagena, Colombia, at the sixth Summit of the Americas. Obama will be there, and all our American brethren, minus Cuba and Ecuador, will too. They will talk about their economies, energy supplies, trade agreements, and commerce. They will talk about drugs, of course, and the insatiable US appetite for them. But they will not be talking about whether classes in Hispanic studies are inherently anti-Anglo.
Immigration discussions are relevant to this global group, but only because hardline stances in places like Arizona are so inconsistent with the many advances in our relationship with Mexico. Mexico is not only one of the United States' largest markets, it is one of our largest sources of energy imports, behind only Canada and Saudi Arabia.
Instead of focusing on a false enemy, Arizona might take notice of the demographic shift in Mexico that will change the nature of immigration to this nation. As Shannon O'Neil, the Douglas Dillon Fellow for Latin America Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations describes, "(T)here's somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 fewer Mexicans turning 18 today than there were back in 1990, when we saw the start of the emigration boom."
In the 1970s, a Mexican family constituted, on average, six children. Today it is about two per family, similar to the United States. They are more educated and, with a population of 110 million people, there is a vibrant middle class. And though Mexico is waging a violent drug war, it also has a burgeoning economy with manufacturing companies and hotels being built along the border here to satisfy both business and vacation needs.
These demographic and economic changes will mean, according to O'Neil, "that fewer Mexicans need or want to come to the United States." While the cool folks are sharing margaritas on the border discussing global integration and how interdependent economies can thrive, Arizona might still be waiting for the phone to ring.

I'm nursing my DD who will be 3 next month. I am also almost 25 weeks pregnant. I've been having a lot of pain nursing and it is worse on the left side. So most of the time I just nurse on the right. I'm only nursing at night anymore. Anwhere from 1-3 times. Yesterday I noticed that on the underside of the left nipple(sore side) there are a bunch of little cracks. She was nursing on that side yesterday and I'm not sure if it's from the friction of her now bad latch or what. I was thinking that she doesn't latch properly anymore because I have no milk I put some lansinoh on it and it looked a little better this am. I don't think it's thrush, but I don't want it to turn into it. Any ideas, what should I do?
Oh and my lansinoh expired in 2009....is that a big deal?

A California couple has been arrested after driving a stolen car to a courthouse, police said.
A car dealership in Redding, Calif., called police to report a missing car on Friday. The dealership told police the car's GPS showed it was parked in front of a courthouse in Sonora, Calif., according to a press release from the Sonora Police Department.
Police officers found the car near the courthouse with different license plates on it. A woman who police identified as Teresa Castillo, 45, approached the car and told officers her husband had purchased the vehicle earlier that day for $200 so he could make a court appearance for a possession of a controlled substance charge, police said.
The woman's husband, James Manning, 49, initially denied knowing the car was stolen, but later admitted it was a stolen vehicle, police said.
Manning and Castillo were arrested on suspicion of possession of stolen property and possession of a controlled substance.

Love the pop of color in the bag and how it matches the leaves in the background. I think we could all handle being a bit more adventurous. I certainly know I could. And I love this outfit!

I was just thinking the same thing yesterday. It's easy, for me, to fall in the rut of cardigan, skirt and tights. And I'll keep reaching for those things.
Today, I wore pants and it was a minor victory. :)

I have exactly the same problem than you with long dresses or skirts, it's sad because I would love to wear some more often!
I must find a good tailor to make some hems for me!
By the way, really nice red bag!! *3*

i really like this outfit. it has a very tomboy preppy uni boyish feel to it. i thought of michelle williams when i saw it. i know what you mean though, and i am really short too, so oftentimes i think a lot of it does come from being short - esp. with maxi dresses and skirts. you do have take into account your body shape - certain items just do not work on certain body shapes, but i do think that as you said, if you tailor items, any specific style can be worn by anyone, as long is it is tailored for their body.

I actually prefer your blog to others because you stick to the way you dress. Like someone else said, my "uniform" is tights, a dress, and a cardigan. Sometimes I wear pants when it's really cold, and I'll pull out a maxi dress or two in the summer. I like reading (and looking) at your blog because it inspires me to try new types of dresses or outfit combinations. I may think someone looks beautiful in a pair of trousers, but 9 times out of 10 I won't attempt to draw a look of my own from it. However, all of your outfits are daily inspiration that hits close my personal style.
So keep up the dresses and cardigans ;)

I actually like to take inspiration from the way you wear trousers because I'm quite petite too. I need to find more pairs like the ones you have because they look amazing on you. You always look so cute and comfy in them.

You seem to find such great fitting jeans- I definitely think that skinny jeans are the way to go for us shorter ladies but you're right, skirts and dresses with pretty coloured tights are just easier generally. Love this outfit. Also really love the earrings in the post above, I accumulated so many pairs when I had a bob...the arrow ones and the very last ones are so pretty. I like to mix and match and wear all different ones in my ears :)

I really like how you look in trousers... I liked when you started wearing them more this fall and thought it was a shame that you were planning to stop after cutting your hair. Glad that hasn´t happened. I love dresses, but trousers have a different sort of appeal. : )

- LaurenF said...
I totally relate to this. I wish I were more adventurous with clothes, but I always go back to the things that I know work for me. Not to mention the fact that I'm a teacher in the Midwest, where things are already about as conservative as can be!
- January 15, 2012 at 10:38 AM
- bestie said...
As you [might] know I am exactly the same height as you, but I think part of the reason why I tend to dress in trousers and maxis more is the fact that I commute everywhere. I actually rarely wear short-length anything because I want to avoid flashing people while getting on and off our local modes of transportation. Haha. And so, because I wear these "long things" all the time, I kind of HAVE to be more adventurous with styling, lest I should end up with the same look every single day.
I do however think you ARE adventurous with the way you dress, but in a good way too because you still stick to who you are sartorially - which is something I've always admired. I couldn't do it, no matter how hard I try. I'm fickle like that. (:
And like I said on Twitter: you are better at it (shopping for and wearing these things) than you think. Just take it one day at a time and before you know it you'll be more of a style chameleon than I am. Haha.
Didn't mean to write a novel there. :p

I like your style! It is fun to experiment, but why change what works? Gorgeous photos and beautiful location!

Delp Family Color Run & Festival
|In Memory of
Brian Aaron Delp
Dec. 12, 1977 - Nov. 2, 2002
Tuesday, Octber 4, 2016 - 5:30 p.m.
The 11th Annual Brian A. Delp Memorial Run has become a Bluefield State College tradition. This year's event will be a one-mile color run and festival, which is scheduled for Tuesday, Octoer 4, 2016 at 5:30 pm, starting and ending on the BSC campus. The Run will be followed by a cookout for all to enjoy. The entry form is available below.
The Brian A. Delp Humanitarian Athletic Award is given to a rising junior who exemplifies the character and commitment to Bluefield State College that Brian held. His college experience transformed him from a shy boy into an outgoing, enthusiastic participant in athletics, service and academics.
Brian Aaron Delp was a student athlete at Bluefield State College who was a three-year letterman in Men's Cross Country and a strong motivator of young student-athletes and his teammates. He was actively involved in community service and campus activities including: Student Government Association, Student Athletic Advisory Committee (President), Bonners Scholars, Greek Council, Alpha Pi Omega, Student Employment, Program Board, Ambassadors, and Habitat for Humanity. Brian was named Mr. BSC in 2000 and 2002. He served as a medic in the West Virginia National Guard and was scheduled for deployment in Iraq.
In November 2002 – one month before he intended to graduate with a degree in Business Administration – Brian was fatally struck by a car on Route 460 while helping a stranded motorist. His parents, Samuel and Carla Delp, established the Brian A. Delp Humanitarian Athletic Scholarship in his memory to support current and future generations of student athletes at Bluefield State College.
The Brian A. Delp 5K Memorial Run/Walk was created in 2006 by the Bluefield State College Student Athletic Advisory Committee, of which Brian had been president. This award is a tribute to the example he set and a way of preserving his memory.
