The Eclipse Ultra II is the only Kimber with a 3-inch barrel built on a stainless steel frame. All other 3-inch pistols have aluminum or polymer frames, and the extra weight reduces felt recoil. The Eclipse Pro Target II is the only 4-inch Kimber fitted with an adjustable rear sight.
Elegance. Hard to define but easy to recognize, elegance is a true measure of quality. Kimber Eclipse pistols have a brushpolished finish over a stainless steel slide and frame, both accented with black small parts. More importantly, they perform as good as they look—and that is a bold statement.
The true beauty of Eclipse pistols is in their performance. Match grade barrels and triggers ensure the level of accuracy that made Kimber the world's most popular 1911. All are chambered in .45 ACP. Breech faces are polished for dependable feeding, and slide and magazine releases are checkered for fast, reliable operation. The Eclipse Ultra II is the only 3-inch Kimber with a stainless steel frame. Still, performance never looked this good.
The Kimber Eclipse Utra II is the compact version of the Eclipse series. Like the other two models in the Eclipse line, it features 30 LPI front strap checkering, fixed Meprolight night sights, a premium trigger, as well as all of the other match grade features found on Kimber pistols.

hello everyone.
im new in lll, i hope im welcome enough to ask about my breastfeeding problem.
im a new mom of a 7 month old girl, lena.
lena has been very good with breastfeeding, she never ever have to drink from a bottle, or formula. now that she's getting big, i dont know if my breasts are making enough milk for her. i noticed my left breast is completely empty and the right one is only full when i wake up in the morning. i think that's the only time my baby gets full. im so worried because i really would like to continue breastfeeding her until at least she turns 1 or whenever she wants to stop. but im not sure now if im still able to do that since my milk production is very low. what should i do? she doesnt look very hungry although im still worried that she's not getting enough. whenever i give her formula from the bottle, she keeps throwing up, like when someone eats something they dont like. i dont know what else to do, she eats solids fine but i dont know why she throws up whenever i give her formula. she doesnt like juice much also. i want to keep breastfeeding her and i tried eating healthy food, and drinking milk and everything else so that i could make more milk but nothing happened. im so worried that she might starve and i dont know what i could give her to fill her in. and one more thing, i got my period today, i guess that's probably one sign that im not making milk as much as before. help please.

Exenatide is believed to facilitate glucose control in at least five ways:
1. Exenatide augments pancreas response and more appropriate amount of insulin that helps lower the rise in blood sugar from eating.
2. Exenatide also suppresses pancreatic release of glucagon, which prevents hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels).
3. Exenatide helps slow down gastric emptying and thus decreases the rate at which meal-derived glucose appears in the bloodstream.

With only a week in advance, my dad, David Ebbrecht, came up with this idea of a mother holding her baby, with my head being the baby's. I immediately thought, "wow thats such a great idea!, we HAVE to do it!"
We had everything we needed to make this costume at home except for the mothers head, the baby's outfit, and the big blue sweatshirt, which we bought. After we had everything we needed, it took me and my dad two nights after school to complete it. My mom also helped by making my bonnet the first night we started, and the mother's skirt a long time ago, that had been in our dress-up clothes.
The Mother's head is taped to a thin cardboard material that is in the shape of a neck, which is connected to another horizontal cardboard tube, for the shoulders. There is Styrofoam glued to the cardboard shoulders, that comes down on my shoulders and ties around me so it doesn't move. There is a hole in the sweatshirt for my head to go through, and we sewed the baby"s outfit to the sweatshirt also.
i keep my arms tucked under the sweatshirt so no one can see them. I can walk, sit, or anything, and its really not that uncomfortable.
This kind of homemade Halloween costumes are my favorite. I really like the idea of having a costume that tricks people when they first look at you. An illusion is always fun! :)

Ariel Sharon, former Israeli leader, dies at 85By JOSEF FEDERMAN
The Associated Press | January 12,2014AP File Photo
Ariel Sharon, former prime minister of Israel, is shown in 2004.JERUSALEM Ariel Sharon, the hard-charging Israeli general and prime minister who was admired and hated for his battlefield exploits and ambitions to reshape the Middle East, died Saturday eight years after a stroke left him in a coma from which he never awoke. He was 85.
As one of Israels most famous soldiers, Sharon was known for bold tactics and an occasional refusal to obey orders. As a politician he became known as the bulldozer, a man contemptuous of his critics while also capable of getting things done.
He led his country into a divisive war in Lebanon in 1982 and was branded as indirectly responsible for the massacre of hundreds of Palestinians at the Sabra and Chatilla refugee camps outside Beirut when his troops allowed allied Lebanese militias into the camps. Yet ultimately he transformed himself into a prime minister and statesman.
Sharons son Gilad announced the death on Saturday afternoon. Sharons health had taken a downturn over the past week and a half as a number of bodily organs, including his kidneys, stopped functioning.
The life and career of the man widely known by his nickname Arik will be remembered for its three distinct stages: his eventful and controversial time in uniform, his years as a vociferous political operator who helped create Israels settlement movement and mastermind of the Lebanon invasion, then his successful term as a pragmatist prime minister, capped by a dramatic withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and curtailed at the height of his popularity by his sudden stroke.
The Gaza pullout culminated a gradual abandonment of the hard-line policies for which he was known. In the tumultuous summer of 2005, he pulled all of Israels settlers and soldiers out of the seaside strip, having played a key role in putting them there in the first place. The fate of Netzarim is the fate of Tel Aviv, Sharon said, referring to a Gaza settlement, just three years earlier.
Characteristically, the move was unilateral; Sharon was dubious that much good could come of talks with the Palestinians.
Sharon painted his disengagement plan as a step to reduce friction between Israelis and Palestinians. It was accompanied by construction of a massive separation barrier in the West Bank. While presented as security measures, they also represented an admission of sorts that continued control of the fast-growing Palestinian population could threaten Israels Jewish and democratic character.
A few months later he left the hawkish Likud party, which he helped found, and created the centrist Kadima as a vehicle for himself, planning to lead it to a third election victory. But a few months later 77 years old, and considerably overweight he suffered two strokes. The second one, in 2006, left him comatose in a Jerusalem hospital. His deputy, Ehud Olmert, became prime minister and led Kadima to victory in the election.
Sharon was reviled by Palestinians. We will remember Ariel Sharon as the man who killed, destroyed and caused the suffering for several Palestinian generations, said Khalil Al Hayya, a leader of the ruling Hamas militant group in the Gaza Strip.
Ariel Sharon was born to Russian immigrant parents on Feb. 26, 1928, in the small farming community of Kfar Malal, north of Tel Aviv. He joined the Haganah, the pre-state Jewish defense force, at 14 and later went on to command an infantry platoon during the 1948 Mideast war over Israels creation.
By 1953 he was commanding Unit 101, a commando force formed to carry out reprisals for Arab attacks. After the slaying of an Israeli woman and her two children, his troops blew up more than 40 houses in Qibya, a West Bank village then ruled by Jordan, killing 69 Arabs, most or all of them civilians.
But accolades mounted as well. His finest hour in uniform, as he described it, came after Egypt and Syria attacked Israel in the 1973 Mideast war. Sharon was brought out of retirement by an army desperate for leadership and commanded 27,000 Israelis in a daring drive across the Suez Canal, an operation that turned the tide of the fighting.
Sharon later became Menachem Begins defense minister. When Begin shifted to the center much as Sharon would do decades later and signed a peace agreement with Egypt that required an Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai, Sharon voted against it.
In 1982, after a string of attacks by Palestinian gunmen based in Lebanon, Sharon engineered Israels invasion of that country, portraying it as a quick, limited strike to drive Palestinian fighters from Israels northern border.
Later it emerged that Sharons plan had always been far more ambitious: He wanted to reach Beirut and install a regime that would make peace with Israel. That plan was concealed not only from the public, but also from the Cabinet ministers who had approved it. It was, some Israeli commentators said, the closest the country had come to a coup detat.
That September, the Israeli military, controlling parts of Beirut, allowed members of the Phalange, a Lebanese Christian militia allied with Israel, to enter the Palestinian refugee camps of Sabra and Chatilla in Beirut to root out terrorists. The militiamen systematically slaughtered hundreds of civilians, including women and children. The massacres sparked mass protests in Israel and abroad.
An Israeli commission rejected Sharons contention that he had not known what was coming and he was fired, though his popularity and political clout left him in the Cabinet as a minister without portfolio. His political ambitions were crippled, but not destroyed.
Those who didnt want to see him as army chief got him as defense minister, and those who dont want him as defense minister shall get him as prime minister, Sharons longtime confidant, Uri Dan, presciently said in the wake of the commission report.
The fast operation Sharon had promised eventually left Israel mired in Lebanon for 18 years. It also led to battles in the courtroom.
In 1983, Sharon filed a $50 million lawsuit against Time Magazine for alleging that Sharon, while defense minister, had discussed avenging the murder of Lebanese President-elect Bashir Gemayel with Lebanese Christian militia leaders. Time said the discussion was held the day before the Sabra and Chatilla massacres. A six-member jury in New York concluded that the Time report was false but acquitted the magazine of libel, saying it published the report in good faith.
Later, an Israeli court rejected a libel suit filed by Sharon against the Haaretz daily over a 1991 article that claimed he misled Begin about his military intentions in Lebanon.
Over the years, Sharon rehabilitated his political career and used various Cabinet posts to build dozens of settlements in the West Bank and Gaza, despite international protests. As foreign minister in 1998, Sharon famously called on Jewish settlers to occupy as much land as possible before a deal was reached with the Palestinians.
Everyone there should move, should run, should grab more hills, expand the territory. Everything thats grabbed will be in our hands, everything that we dont grab will be in their hands, he said.
In 2000, as leader of the opposition, he paid a high-profile visit to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary. The tense site is holy to Jews and Muslims, and houses Islams third-holiest shrine.
The visit came at a time of heightened tensions. Peace talks had stalled at a time when the sides were on the verge of an agreement, and Palestinian riots escalated into a full-fledged uprising that lasted years and claimed thousands of lives.
Critics said the visit was an act of recklessness at a time of rising tensions. Others maintained the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, who rejected an Israeli peace offer not long before, used the visit as a pretext to unleash the uprising.
Four months later, with suicide bombers exploding in their cities, Israelis elected Sharon by a landslide. The new prime minister led Israels aggressive military response to the uprising, including a tough offensive in the spring of 2002 following an especially bloody Passover suicide bombing inside Israel, and had all but ended it by 2004.
At the same time, he began to soften his opposition to territorial withdrawals. He called Israels presence in the West Bank and Gaza an occupation for the first time, conceded that an independent Palestinian state was inevitable, and spearheaded the Gaza pullout.
Domestically, Sharon became the latest in a long line of Israeli prime ministers whose terms were marred by corruption probes.
He was accused of improper fundraising and accepting bribes, allegedly paid to one of his sons, from a prominent real-estate developer, but never charged. His oldest son, Omri, however, later served seven months in prison for fraud convicted to campaign fundraising for his father.
Sharon, who lived on a ranch in southern Israel, was widowed twice. His second wife was the sister of his first, who died in a car accident.
He is survived by two sons. A third died as a child in a firearms accident in 1967.

Hughes is planning a special event and concert for the re-grand opening of her downtown restaurant, the Dog and Bee Public House.
The city closed that block when the restaurant first opened.
The businesswoman will have the block barricaded at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 27, and reopen the street by 3 p.m. Saturday, June 29.
She is planning to hold the formal opening and concert on Friday.
Only three council members made the special, 6 p.m. meeting.
Mayor David Carabajal read the agenda item, and Councilman John Fulghum made the motion to approve the request.
Councilman George P. "Trace" Morrill seconded the motion, and all three council members voted in favor of the request.
Before adjourning, the council approved the nomination of Carlos Perez as the final member of the City Council's committee to study groundwater alternatives and to make recommendations for the development and funding of an auxiliary water system for the city.
Perez has been interested in the city's water situation and has spoken out at several council meetings in the past.
He will replace Beeville Water Supply District board member Ronald "Buddy" Hardy.
Hardy asked to be replaced on the committee after City Attorney Frank Warner suggested that the council refrain from allowing a quorum of members of the BWSD board to serve on the committee.
Mayor David Carabajal had appointed the water board's newest member, Kenneth Elsbury, to the committee. The water board had appointed its president, Jim Crumrine, and Hardy to the board, creating a three-member quorum on the committee.
Hardy volunteered to step down so the water board could appoint someone not on that body.
Elsbury was appointed to the water board to replace Councilman Morrill, who resigned after being elected to the City Council.

At the end of regular season he was equal second along with winger Morris and centre Folau.
He was also equal third best player in terms of line breaks (behind wingers Uate and Morris).
Not a top centre, eh? Slightly above average eh?
I suggest you all watch some more, learn some more, watch some more, learn some more then get back to me.
, just Outstanding... I suggest YOU watch some more and stop taking so much notice of stats. SKD still = slightly better than everage. A lot of mistakes, good finisher, nothing special, doesn't create many if any tries for others. Here's a list of players I would consider 'above average' or 'top' centres:
Greg Inglis
Israel Falou
Jamie Lyon
Mark Gasnier
Justin Hodges
A few centres left out that are still better than SKD; Jennings, Tate and Tonga for example. I've watched just about every game SKD has played this year so don't quizz me with a whole lot of bullsh!t about he's the best thing since sliced bread. He's good, he's not great yet and he's certainly not worthy of the hype you're giving him.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) are announcing today a voluntary recall to repair all Roman shades and roll-up blinds to prevent the risk of strangulation to young children. This recall involves millions of Roman and roll-up blinds. About five million Roman shades and about three million roll-up blinds are sold each year.
CPSC has received reports of five deaths and 16 near strangulations, since 2006, in Roman shades and three deaths, since 2001, in roll-up blinds. Strangulations in Roman shades can occur when a child places his/her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the blind or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his/her neck. Strangulations in roll-up blinds can occur if the lifting loop slides off the side of the blind and a child's neck becomes entangled on the free-standing loop or if a child places his/her neck between the lifting loop and the roll-up blind material.
"Over the past 15 years, CPSC has been investigating window covering hazards and working with the WCSC to ensure the safety of window coverings. We commend the WCSC for providing consumers with repair kits that make window coverings safer and look forward to future steps to eliminate these hazards," said Inez Tenenbaum, CPSC Chairman.
Over the years, CPSC has been investigating deaths associated with different types of window coverings and has worked with the WCSC to address the hazards posed by them. In 1994 and in 2000, CPSC and WCSC announced recalls to repair horizontal blinds to prevent strangulation hazards posed by pull cord and inner cord loops. As a result of CPSC investigations, the industry has modified its products and provides free repair kits for existing horizontal blinds and other window coverings. In October 2009, CPSC issued a new safety alert to warn parents about the dangers associated with window coverings.
Consumers that have Roman or roll-up shades in their homes should contact the WCSC immediately at www.windowcoverings.org or by calling (800) 506-4636 anytime to receive a free repair kit.
To help prevent child strangulation in window coverings, CPSC and the WCSC urge parents and caregivers to follow these guidelines:
- Examine all shades and blinds in the home. Make sure there are no accessible cords on the front, side, or back of the product. CPSC and the WCSC recommend the use of cordless window coverings in all homes where children live or visit.
- Do not place cribs, beds, and furniture close to the windows because children can climb on them and gain access to the cords.
- Make loose cords inaccessible.
- If the window shade has looped bead chains or nylon cords, install tension devices to keep the cord taut.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or

- Humming By The Flowered Vine - - 2005-06-21
|Humming By The Flowered Vine
June 21, 2005
'Humming by the Flowered Vine' is the much-anticipated third album (and Matador debut) by Nashville-born, New York-based performer Laura Cantrell.
Produced by JD Foster (Richard Buckner, Marc Ribot), 'Humming by the Flowered Vine' features ten extraordinary songs both crafted and caught. As on her two previous albums, 'When the Roses Bloom Again' and 'Not the Tremblin' Kind,' Laura's own compositions are some of the highlights. "Khaki & Corduroy" is a meditation on being a transplanted Southerner in New York City, "California Rose" was inspired by the West Coast country music pioneer Rose Maddox, and "Old Downtown" draws on the story of World War I hero Sgt. Alvin York.
New York figures prominently in both Emily Spray's infectious "14th Street" and "Letters", a previously unreleased Lucinda Williams song dating back to her days as a struggling folk singer living in the city. The album also includes a version of the Appalachian murder ballad "Poor Ellen Smith," which was collected and published in the 1927 book American Mountain Songs by Laura's great, great aunt Ethel Park Richardson, a "songcatcher" from Chattanooga, TN, who went on to produce the NBC radio drama "Heart-throbs of the Hills" throughout the 1930s. The parallels between her and Laura's own life were a recent discovery for Laura.
Born and raised in Nashville, Laura moved to New York City to attend Columbia University, where she soon found herself hosting a weekly country music program on college station WKCR ("Tennessee Border") and singing in dorms and coffeehouses. After graduation, she recorded a CD and several singles with the band Bricks, featuring her college friend Mac McCaughan (who would later form Superchunk and Merge Records). A move to Brooklyn led to a friendship with John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants, who recruited her to sing on "The Guitar" on the band's 1992 album Apollo 18. He also offered to produce an EP of Laura's original songs for the Giants' "Hello CD of the Month Club" subscription service, which was originally released in June 1996 and reissued last year as The Hello Recordings.
In 2000. Laura's debut album, 'Not the Tremblin' Kind,' reached an international audience and was championed by legendary BBC DJ John Peel, who called it "my favourite record of the last ten years and possibly my life." She recorded five Peel Sessions and had three songs on his annual "Festive Fifty" for 2000. With the release of When the Roses Bloom Again in 2002, she was hand-picked by Elvis Costello to open 17 dates on his U.S. tour. Both albums also garnered four-star reviews in Rolling Stone, and led to appearances on the Grand Ole Opry, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the Newport Folk Festival, World Café, and Mountain Stage, as well as tours with folk legends Joan Baez and Ralph Stanley in the U.S. and U.K.
Laura is also the "proprietress" of the long-running Radio Thrift Shop on freeform WFMU, which airs every Saturday from noon-3:00 EST and is archived at radiothriftshop.com.
"As Laura Cantrell performed 'Khaki and Corduroy,' her sleepy-sad reflection on being a Southerner transplanted to New York City . . . the auditorium [Jazz at Lincoln Center] was awash with the kind of cosmic wistfulness that the best country and folk music can conjure when it dreams of the past."
— Stephen Holden, The New York Times
"It's Cantrell's voice. . . vulnerable and at times downright fragile . . . that evokes inner strengths as old as the hills and as tough as the tenements, a voice that begs to be heard."
— Richard Harrington, The Washington Post
'Humming By The Flowered Vine'
song-by-song by Laura Cantrell
14th Street (Emily Spray)
To a lot of New Yorkers, 14th Street is the unofficial divide between uptown and downtown. I personally love 14th street – the Salvation Army, Union Square, the L train running just below. I think this song also perfectly sums up the moment when you see someone you're obsessed with on the street and decide whether it's worth it to say hello or stay safely in the background. I've known Emily, a Portland, Oregon native, for many years and really appreciate the New York moment she captured in this song.
What You Said (Jenifer Jackson)
Jenifer is another great New York-based writer that I've been fortunate to get to know, and this song is from her wonderful 2001 album Birds. It has a breezy joy that to me is perfect for summer, and Kenny Kosek contributes some lovely fiddle work along with Rob Burger on accordion.
And Still (Dave Schramm)
Dave played guitar with me when I toured with Elvis Costello in 2002, and his band The Schramms backed me on some dates the following year. I've always admired Dave's writing (his "Conqueror's Song" was on my last album), and this was one of a couple of songs-in-progress that he shared with me last summer. When it came time to record, JD suggested we try the song with Dave and Calexico, and later Amy Helm and Fiona McBain of Ollabelle added some harmony. The song has a lot of depth and can be very personal or applied universally.
Khaki & Corduroy (Laura Cantrell)
This one draws from a specific time and place for me personally: New York in the mid-eighties when I first moved here to attend college. It's really not about anything more than remembering people that you knew in school, little details that stay in your mind about old friends that you don't see anymore. It's also about the relationships from that time of your life that are so powerful; and, even though they usually don't last, their memories are still very strong and will sometimes take you by surprise.
Letters (Lucinda Williams)
A friend played me a rough demo of this unreleased Lucinda song from her late seventies New York period and it really struck a chord with me. Some of us remember what it felt like in the pre-email era to come home from a crummy job to find a beautiful letter in the mailbox. It was as if every detail said something — the paper and the envelope, the postmark, the handwriting. The lyrics reminded me of all those things and stuck in my head for days. Then I knew I had to give it a go.
California Rose (Laura Cantrell)
Rose Maddox of the Maddox Brothers and Rose was one of the great female artists of the honky-tonk era. Her family left Alabama in the Great Depression under the guidance of their mother Lula, convinced they'd find their fortune in California. When this proved as elusive in California as it had been in the South, the family turned its love for music into a livelihood, and was soon dubbed "America's Most Colorful Hillbilly Band." Rose's eventual struggle to leave the family band behind to find success as a solo artist came at a huge cost. She is one of country music's female pioneers not recognized by the Country Music Hall of Fame, so I thought she was due a tribute in song.
Wishful Thinking (Wynn Stewart)
I have a great fondness for the country music that came out of California in the late fifties and early sixties. This shuffle was written and recorded by the Bakersfield honky-tonk legend Wynn Stewart, and was also covered by one of my favorite "girl singers," Skeeter Davis, who died last year. I wanted to include this as my own private tip of the hat to both her and Wynn Stewart.
Poor Ellen Smith (Traditional, arranged by Laura Cantrell)
My mother's family is from Chattanooga, Tennessee and was doing some genealogical research last year when we discovered that the famous "song catcher" Ethel Park Richardson was my great, great grandfather's sister. Ethel collected songs in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee and published the book "American Mountain Songs" in 1927. She later moved to New York and produced the radio drama "Heart-Throbs Of The Hills" for the NBC network throughout the 1930s. This song from her book is a truly American murder ballad based on real events in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. As part of the ongoing "folk process," the melody is slightly changed and I left out one out of ten verses in the book.
Bees (Laura Cantrell/Jay Sherman-Godfrey)
This song pays tribute to an old friend who had ill health at the end of this life and was growing to accept that he wouldn't be around forever. He had lived a full life and had great stories to tell, but he was also sadly aware that the people that he ran around with for years were all gone. My friend Jay, who produced and contributed songs to my last two albums, helped me finish the song.
Old Downtown (Laura Cantrell)
I wrote this meditation after a real walk in my old downtown of Nashville, Tennessee. I was in one of those moments when you try to match the past up with the present to see if it makes sense. I was taking in a lot of local landmarks around the state Capitol building, like the tomb of William Polk, the statue of WWI hero Alvin C. York, and the Life & Casualty tower. I was struck by the idea that all the things that happen in a place can shape it and the people who live there. No matter what town you're walking in, the monuments show the triumphs and the scars.

Laura Cantrell's absolutely gorgeous debut album for Matador (and third album proper) is entitled 'Humming By The Flowered Vine' and is scheduled for June 21 release worldwide. Featuring a mixture of original songs, the traditional "Poor Ellen Smith" (a classic murdered-woman ballad), and interpretations of songs by Lucinda Williams, Emily Spray, Dave Schramm, and others. With star guest musicians to boot. We'll have more information on this release shortly; in the meantime, feast your eyes on the cover art, based on a painting by Fred Tomaselli.
"A voice that begs to be heard"
Matador Records is pleased to announce the signing of acclaimed artist and radio personality Laura Cantrell to a worldwide recording agreement.
The Nashville-born, New York-based "proprietress" of WFMU's long-running Radio Thrift Shop is currently working on the follow-up to her 2002 release "When the Roses Bloom Again," about which the Washington Post said, "It's Cantrell's voice that elevates these disparate songs to high lonesome art. Vulnerable, and at times downright fragile, it's a voice that evokes inner strengths as old as the hills and as tough as the tenements, a voice that begs to be heard." Longtime supporter John Peel called her first CD "my favourite album of the last 10 years and possibly my life."
Cantrell's two previous albums were released by Diesel Only Records in the U.S. and Shoeshine/Spit & Polish in the U.K. Over the past four years, she has opened U.S. tours for Elvis Costello and Joan Baez, appeared on the Grand Ole Opry, the Newport Folk Festival, and the Late Show with Conan O'Brien, recorded five Peel Sessions, and been profiled in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, among her many accolades.
"I am thrilled to release my next album on Matador, a label I've followed since its beginning 15 years ago, that has released the music of great artists like Yo La Tengo, Cat Power and Guided By Voices," said Cantrell. "Matador's interest in my music is very exciting to me."
"Laura Cantrell is one of the unique voices and minds in American music," said Matador co-President Gerard Cosloy. "We've been fans of her recordings and performances for some time and we're genuinely thrilled to be working with such a talent."
The as-yet-untitled album is being scheduled for a late spring release and will include such new Cantrell originals as "Khaki and Corduroy," a meditation on her experience as a transplanted southerner attending university in New York City, and "California Rose," inspired by the life of California country music pioneer Rose Maddox. The album will also feature a version of the Appalachian murder ballad "Poor Ellen Smith," which was collected and published in the 1927 book American Mountain Songs by Cantrell's great, great aunt Ethel Park Richardson, a "songcatcher" from Chattanooga, TN who, like Cantrell, later moved to New York and produced the NBC radio drama "Heart-throbs of the Hills" throughout the 1930s.
The new sessions are being produced by JD Foster, whose production credits include Richard Buckner and Mark Ribot, and has recorded and toured with artists including Patty Griffin and Dwight Yoakam. Other musicians appearing on the new recordings include Mark Spencer (Jay Farrar, Kelly Willis), Jon Graboff (Amy Rigby, Beat Rodeo), Jeremy Chatzky (They Might Be Giants, People Are Wrong!), Dave Schramm (Yo La Tengo, The Schramms) and Joey Burns, John Convertino and Paul Niehaus of Calexico.

International students got a taste of American culture Monday night.
The La Crosse Friends of International Students treated the 100 students and their host families to a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner at Faith Lutheran Church.
The annual meal was complete with turkey, potatoes, and some sweets.
For many of the students, it was their first Thanksgiving meal. And they say it lived up to their expectations. "From what I can see now, it is Turkey and it is potatoes and everybody is gathering and I think that's the spirit of Thanksgiving, like together eat, together, it's awesome," said German exchange student Mathis Jama.
The event has been going on for about 25 years.

Nearly a month-and-a-half after the Stevie Wonder Concert fiasco, the University of Hawaii released an official accounting of what went wrong -- along with several apologies.
"We apologize for the University's handling of this matter and are deeply sorry for the concern and upset it has caused in the community," said UH Board of Regent's Chair Eric Martinson.
"We are very, very sorry. Sincerely sorry this happened," added U.H. President M.R.C. Greenwood.
What happened, according to a 57 page Factfinder's report was: Many of the university personnel involved in the concert planning did not do a lot of things.
Some did not check to see if the school was dealing with a reputable agent, others did not double-check contract details, or simply failed to watch where the money went after $200,000 was wired to Florida.
"Our employees made mistakes, but the incident that caused that was someone tried to sell us a scam and we bit on that," said Greenwood.
The report also showed how some people responded after the scam was discovered. The UH point person for the concert, Rich Sheriff sent out this email on July 9, 2012.
"The President and the Chair of the Board of Regents are furious. It will me a miracle if Jim and I still have a job by Friday," wrote Sheriff.
Greenwood said the school will not take punitive action against those involved in the debacle, but it will be making changes to the roles and responsibilities of some employees. There will also be changes to school-wide policies, especially communication -- so no one is surprised when something big comes up.
"I try very hard not to surprise anyone and I don't like to be surprised myself. So in the future I would like to know if there is a big event," added Greenwood.
The report did not show any evidence of anyone at UH committing fraud, but did find many of the employees worked with loose guidelines. Throughout the report, it seemed like many of the rules set up specifically for the concert contract simply weren't followed.
As for the missing $200,000, the school is waiting to see if the FBI will be able to recover the money.

I recently received a touching letter from a woman struggling with post-partum depression. She mentioned that some days she can't wait for night to come so that she can close her eyes again and not feel.
This young military wife, who just had her first son while her husband is in Iraq for a year, tells me that she feels guilty not being happy or overjoyed by her son, who of course she loves, and that she doesn't feel comfortable seeking help. This reluctance is common for mothers everywhere.
According to The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, up to 80 percent of post-partum women don't seek the help they need if they feel depressed or sad.
Many new mothers mistakenly think that it's simply a matter of trying harder, as opposed to realizing that post-partum depression and mood disorders associated with the birth of a new baby have a strong physiological component.
Be aware: You are undergoing hormonal warfare — within 24 hours after the actual birth, a new moms' progesterone and estrogen drop to lower levels than before conception, and the body's preparation for the production of milk intensifies these changes. This causes sudden mood changes, emotional responses, feelings of extreme fatigue and sadness.
If a woman experiences these emotions in the first two weeks after delivery, it's often casually called the baby blues and it usually resolves on its own. The new mother, while tired, returns to feeling balanced and capable of taking care of her new baby.
If these feelings persist or get worse, then the new mom is dealing with post-partum depression.
The term is often used for a range of post-partum disorders, which also include obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, and even post-partum psychosis and bipolar spectrum disorder. All these symptoms can accompany depression or manifest on their own immediately after birth, a few months afterwards, after a termination of pregnancy or miscarriage, and when a woman discontinues breastfeeding.
If this happens, it's necessary to get help to overcome these difficulties. This is especially true for military women and for women who deal with a lot of uncertainties in their lives or who don't have support around them.
According to a report titled "Associations of Post Partum Depression with Spousal Military Deployment and Isolation," while post-partum depression affects 10 percent of women in the general population, it affects 26 percent of military spouses when their husbands are deployed.
New mothers need to realize that post-partum depression and mood disorders are caused by strong hormonal and physiological changes and that this challenging time has nothing to do with our ability to be good mothers. Military mothers must be especially aware of their susceptibility.
All we need is a little help to be able to fully enjoy the satisfactions and challenges of motherhood. So hang in there my friend, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Cardboard arcade entertains crowd
Posted on October 04, 2013
Students stopped by the Cook Carillon Tower to play foosball, skeeball and plinko games — all created from cardboard — for a good cause October 4.
The Cardboard Challenge was created by students from liberal studies classes and an Honors College seminar course. John Kilbourne, professor of movement science, said it was part of a global challenge initiated by the Imagination Foundation to engage 1 million people in creative play.
Money raised from the event will benefit the Imagination Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering and funding creativity and entrepreneurship.
Sponsors for the event were the Frederik Meijer Honors College, Liberal Studies, and the Movement Science House Living & Learning Center.

I used the BurdaStyle Sewing Handbook, with Miho's skirt variation, to make this project. I made one modification to the pattern: I shortened the waistline fabric quite a bit, so that it would stitch to the elastic without looking too bulky or bunchy. This was my first time making an elastic waistband.

It was here at Patrick Henry's Scotchtown that Henry conceived his most influential revolutionary ideas. Scotchtown is the only original standing home of the Patriot and Orator of the American Revolution; Patrick Henry lived here from 1771-1778. It was at Scotchtown that he formulated the ideas of his famous "Liberty or Death" speech and it was from the house that he rode to St. John's Church in Richmond on March 23, 1775 to deliver it.
Experience our dialogue based tour exploring Henry's ideals of "Liberty, Human Rights and Revolution." Also, explore the grounds, listen to a cell phone tour, enjoy a birding trail, shop in the museum store, eat lunch under our pavilion or participate in one of the site's many hands-on classes and special events. Patrick Henry's Scotchtown is also available for private rental. Site rentals are available for reunions, festivals and feasts, photo shoots, TV/film shoots and of course, your special day!
Patrick Henry's Scotchtown is open March-November, Friday - Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Also, Patrick Henry's Scotchtown is open the weekend after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.

PHOTOS: Views Of The Hudson
MORNING GOODS — He's not the LGBT ally wrestler, but this Hudson Taylor is Hawaii's Most Beautiful Man (as decided by the Hawaii Women's Expo). He won the title in 2008. Can we help him renew it?
Click through for a slideshow featuring model Hudson Taylor!
(Photos: R. Petit, M. Weholt, Volume Magazine)
Padding or not, he's totally adorable! Love the dimples.
@Drew: jus' different cuts in the various speedozz………
I would defniatley love to give him a big "Aloha" cummin and goin;…….. :-p
Six-pack abs doth not a model make….small package, boring poses, and he looks like he'd be dumb as shit to talk to.
@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: I thought about that as well… but 23 is much more revealing compared to the others. That said, just an observation – I'm not judging size at all. I like dick and have been with far too many of all sizes to throw a stone! lol He's certainly cute and has an amazing body.
@Drew: Yes, but then again there are the "growers not showers" among us. One of my FBs looks like he is packing a minus rather than a p e n i s when Mr. Softee is around. However once the action begins suddenly Mr. Big makes a HUGE appearance…… :-p
@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: LOL! a minus – too funny! Hmmmm… seems we should be looking at your set of action pics illustrating Mr Softee to Mr Big!!!!
Yeah, yeah his junk doesn't look all that impressive.
But who cares? I'd do him up one side of the street and right back down the other.
@pete: And he'd STILL be able to talk circles around you!
OMG, Hudson!!!!!! Mrs. Gooch's U.S. History class and Coach B's P.E. @ Word of Life Christian Academy, Honolulu, HI Class of 2006! It's nice to see progress with the modeling thing after seeing you on random advertisements in Waikiki. Oh btw, I lied when I told you I was straight. I told everyone that I had a crush on Crissy so that the school staff wouldn't suspect me for being gay. Oh, my younger sister is gay too.
I'm not sure why I'm writing this. He'll never see it. lol
Maybe next you can feature the hottest boy in Rhode Island.
Beautiful body, hot face. Way too young for me, tho. He looks pretty but dumb.
of course he's dumb
can you name me one male model who was a mental giant?? probably not
He's hot. Shot #3 is really nice. Unlike some bitchy queens on this site, I don't have the remarkable ability to determine a person's cognitive abilities based upon their physical appearance. So, I'll leave the "dumb" comments to others who have that amazing capacity.
How desperate is Queerty to increase their hits by including softcore porn?
yep i'm sure he is dumb as dip

Ds is eleven mo and just began eating grapes. He was sick recently too (with roseola) and wasn't eating solids at all, just nursing. (poor baby!) Anyway, so his poop went back to ebf poop: yellow. Then, when he started showing interest in eating solids again, we offered grapes and he gobbled them up, as well as bananas.
So, my question is this: are the insides of grapes "vein-y"? His poop looked soft and yellow with some partially-digested grapes, but then some tiny reddish viens in the more solid parts. Would grapes do that? What about the bananas?
I called the nurse to ask if this was normal and she didn't seem too interested in our conversation whatsoever. I asked he if I could bring the diaper in for her or the ped. to see and she just kind of blew me off. (She's new.)

A judge says a man who turned Honolulu highways into "literal killing zones" should spend the rest of his life in prison.
In May, jurors convicted Toby Stangel, 30, of second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder for the 2011 shooting that killed a mother and wounded two others.
Each life term carries a 20-year minimum sentence. The parole board will set the exact term.
Stangel's defense attorney John Schum says his client heard voices that told him to "kill or be killed" on June 3, 2011, when he went on the shooting rampage.
Judge Glenn Kim says drug abuse and "twisted thinking" led to a "killing rampage."
Stangel and his parents apologized to 54-year-old Tammy Nguyen's family. Her family declined comment.
We will have more from the courtroom later on KITV.com and a full report tonight on KITV4 News at 5, 6 and 10.

- Title
- Household Organisational Management Expenses (HOME) Advice Program: evaluation report 2007
- Author(s)
- MacKenzie, David; Desmond, Kathy; Steen, Adam
- Abstract
- The Household Organisational Management Expenses (HOME) Advice Program is an Australian Government early intervention initiative designed to assist families who are at risk of becoming homeless. It is a highly flexible early intervention program with the capacity to respond to the broad range of issues which may contribute to a family's housing instability. The program uses a holistic, strengths based, family centred practice approach to provide support to the whole family unit including parents, children and other household members. A unique component of the program is its capacity to respond quickly and effectively to a family's income support issues through a dedicated Centrelink HOME Advice social worker specifically designated to work with the program and its client families. Family homelessness has become a major issue for homelessness policy and practice and families make up a significant group within the broader homeless population. The precursor to the HOME Advice Program was the Family Homelessness Prevention Pilot (FHPP) which began in 2002 with the Australian Government committing $5 million over 3 years. The program is an initiative under the National Homelessness Strategy and signified the first national early intervention effort directed specifically to family homelessness prevention. In the 2004–05 budget the Australian Government committed $10.4 million over four years to the HOME Advice Program. The HOME Advice Program represents an important national level strategic partnership between an Australian Government department (FaCSIA), an Australian Government agency (Centrelink) and non-government service providers. Currently, there are eight HOME Advice Program sites, one in each state and territory.

McCrory gets defensive about voter lawWritten by Admin
- font size decrease font size increase font size
To the Editor:
The national criticism of his voter suppression law — yes, he signed it, so it's his — must be working on Gov. Pat McCrory. He wrote a defensive op-ed piece in USA Today not long ago in which he rationalized a photo ID for voting by the necessity to show one to board an airplane.
His apologists have been filling the newspapers with letters that equate a photo ID for voting with having to show one to cash a check or purchase certain controlled medications.
These are blatant examples of false syllogism — stringing together two or more facts to support a nonsensical conclusion.
An example found on the web goes like this: "Only women are nuns. Only women can have babies. Therefore, only nuns can have babies."
McCrory's equation is just as flawed: It's a fact that honest voting is important; it's a fact that aircraft security is important; it's a fact that curbing drug misuse, as in the making of methamphetamines, is important; it's a fact that preventing check or credit card fraud is important.
But it's also a fact — conveniently ignored by the voter suppression apologists — that there is scarcely ever an instance of someone trying to vote under another person's identity. When the State Board of Elections searched its records, it could find only two examples among many millions of votes cast. And no one ever died from it.
But nearly 3,000 people died on account of airplane hijackings on 9/11. Many thousands more have died from drug abuse — in one year, more than 500 from meth alone. Check and credit card fraud are daily occurrences that cost billions of dollars annually.
Unlike those examples, voter fraud is an imaginary problem.
McCrory also contended that voter fraud is a real threat because of multimillion-dollar political campaigns. As the beneficiary of one, he ought to know. But this, too, is false syllogism. The special interests and their candidates don't try to buy individual voters; it's too cumbersome, and they know they would be caught. Their money buys advertising, chiefly negative, to influence voters en masse. It's a lot more bang for the buck.
The interests behind McCrory are already pouring advertising money into trying to gild his shabby performance. When you see or hear the ads, consider the motive.
