Guest Post - The Design Chaser
Camilla knocked down some walls to transform what was originally three small rooms into a bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area. She says the kitchen splashback makes her happy, and I can see why. Created from handmade tiles, they give the black and white space a gorgeous burst of colour. The blue Smeg fridge immediately stole my heart, as did the Design Letters Plates on the wall and the Muuto Dots on the cabinets, both of which I'm coveting right now!
A section of the living room wall has been painted in grey, to create a cosy corner. I love the way Camilla combines design classics with fleamarket finds, such as the Kartell Ghost Chair and vintage coffee table.
A nook under the stairs provides the perfect place for Camilla's Ikea dresser, which she has personalised with cute little coloured knobs. A special moment snapped impulsively on Camilla's iPhone makes a gorgeous photographic wall feature below.
Formerly a living area, the white-washed workspace is my favourite room. I love how Camilla has covered one wall in wallpaper from Ferm Living, and added a pop of bright colour in the form of a yellow Tolix Stool, which sits aside a stylish Eames Chair. The desk is an Ikea dining table, painted black. Pretty storage boxes from House Doctor keep the area clutter-free, while a basket from Ferm Living holds rolls of gift paper.
Lush shades of purple and pops of green make this bedroom a girly haven. Butterflies from Ferm Living flutter above a gorgeous mix of pattern and texture seen in the bedlinen, rug and leather pouffe.
Camilla made the above headboard herself with a piece of MDF covered in fabric. Gorgeous bedlinen from Hay, bright wallpaper and cushions found on a trip to Marrakesh add vibrancy and colour.
In the bathroom Camilla has brightened up an Ikea cabinet with some left over wallpaper.

Wow, so may amazing 'moments' in this home. I love the Muuto Dots, and have never seen someone use them as actual handles, only hooks - brilliant. Also love the grey corner in the living room. I might steal that idea in the corner of my living room where my desk is, to create my own space, even though it's open plan. great find Michelle xReplyDelete
Thanks for having me Amy and thanks for your feedback Vic - I thought the same about the Muuto dots and what a great idea for your workspace! xReplyDelete
Love this post! just gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Love the mix of grey and white in the living room and the little pops of colour she has used in each room. Very inviting space xReplyDelete
Gorgeous. Love your aesthetic and your great blog. Wish you could guest post for me!!ReplyDelete

What upgrades do you need to run a solid cam?
other than valvesprings, and the cam and lifters of course
would there be anything?
i'm thinking of running a Comp 270S cam in my 351W (it's a 74) and was wondering what i might need as other costs other than the kit, i'll need to have adjustable valvetrain, but wondering if a new set of rockers (comps magnum series) would make it adjustable (stock are positive stop deals). Anyone know if i'd need screw in studs instead of the stock deals?
and i'm not talking about rear gears/trans mods or anything like that, just purely engine stuff
what might i see as a street difference compared to the 270H cam for low end?

Stay with the hydraulic cam.
All Below Info Courtesy of -CRANE CAMS-
-Why Roller Hydraulic Cams Are Better-
-Adjusting The Valvetrain-
You will can gain more streetable HP cheaper with a roller cam and cheap roller rockers, and with your present fulcrum system don't have the worry of an adjustible valvetrain. Just set it up at assembly and drive it. . Just look at what FORD did with the 5.0L HO to obtain reliable street HP..
I have yet to see a hyrauldic roller cam engine that can honestly say the cam and lifter swap alone made more then about 10 extra hp over a hydraulic flat tappet when both cams are of the proper specs.As for the solid swap,the only thing you need to do on your engine is have some way to adjust the valve lash.With the cam you have chosen,new of very good stock springs would work,but the cam manufacurer's springs wont hurt.You dont need roller rockers either.In mild setups like yours they is little to no power to be gained with roller rockers,but roller rockers have much more stuff to break and leave trash in your engine.If you can shim the stock arrangment to get the valve lash you need you will get tens of thousands of trouble free miles out of a good solid flat tappet cam.Good luck.
I was trying to save the boy a lot of trouble and money. With the present valvetrain he has, he is going to have to have the heads machined for screw-in studs just as a start. Then we go to adjustible rockers (cheap friction type at the least). As for his stock springs holding down a solid lifter cam?
What I gave him is a stepped increase in reliable street HP. Not the assembly of a grenade motor. He can take it one step at a time or just use an hydraulic flat tappet to start with. There is no reason for a solid camshaft for street duty with all the technology that has transpired in the last twenty or so years.
Wonder why FORD went to all of that expense in 1985 with a roller valvetrain?
Now...this is my opinion only. Your mileage may vary. So in the ensuing flaming post, please remember that children also read this page...
in order to use a comp cam and have it warranty-able you need to use thier recommended springs, so i don't care about the springs, cause i know they are getting swapped
i was just wondering what hinderances i would see on the street running a solid, as this is a street/strip car and a little more performance on the strip from the solid will make up for a little less performance on the street(if there is less street performance). And i thought for the $$ solid flat tappets couln't be beat for performance.
and KULTULZ, you know i'd need screw in studs, or can i shim the stock ones (comp also makes an adjustment kit for $30)

351W, c6 trans, 9"
Then you get to adjust them every Saturday morning...
what do i need the guideplates for? (not a flame, i just don't know)
'74 Gran Torino Project
351W, c6 trans, 9"
Don't let anyone scare you about having to adjust the solids all the time. I check mine in the spring, maybe adjust a few here and there a couple of times all summer, really no problem.
To keep the push rods (another expense-hardened) aligned with the rocker arms.
With a solid cam, you are employing a completely new system and have to make allowances for it.
No flame noticed...

Female City College student punches attacker. He runs away.
There's an app for that
Mike Madriaga 12:40 p.m., May 25
Natividad Lara "Nate" Cervantes, who referred to himself as the "Godfather at Camp Pendleton," was arraigned today (April 12) on bribery charges, according to the U.S. Attorney's office. Cervantes, supervisor for construction and service contracts at Pendleton, used his position to get bribes from businesses looking for contracts, according to court records. According to the government complaint, Cervantes on March 26 met with a cooperating witness who agreed to pay him a $40,000 bribe in exchange for a $4 million contract at Pendleton. Four days later, the two met to pass the initial payment of $10,000. When Cervantes accepted the envelope with the cash, Federal Bureau of investigation agents stepped in. Cervantes appears in court May 10.

Louisiana Operation Game Thief, Inc. (LOGT), a Louisiana wildlife crime-stoppers program, awarded $16,200 to diligent citizens statewide in 2014.
The LOGT board reviewed a total of 40 cases in 2014. A total of 67 subjects were apprehended and a total of 218 offenses were written in regards to the reviewed cases. The LOGT has paid out a total of $358,900 since inception in 1984.
The cases reviewed and awarded money to the public for their assistance consisted of 17 deer cases, 10 migratory game bird cases, six turkey cases, three fish cases and two alligator cases.
Anyone wishing to report wildlife or fisheries violations should anonymously call LDWF's 24-hour toll free Operation Game Thief hotline at 1-800-442-2511 or utilize LDWF's new tip411 program. To use the tip411 program, tipsters can text LADWF and their tip to 847411 or download the "LADWF Tips" iPhone and Android apps from the iTunes or Google Play store free of charge. Texting or downloading the app enables the public to send anonymous tips to LDWF and lets LDWF respond back, creating a two-way anonymous "chat".
Users of the app or texters can also send in photos to help support their claim and be used as evidence. CitizenObserver, the tip411 provider, uses technology that removes all identifying information before LDWF receives the text so that LDWF cannot identify the sender.
LOGT was instituted in 1984 and provides cash rewards for information leading to the arrest of violators of fish and wildlife regulations. Funds are raised through private donations, court directed contributions and through contributions from cooperative endeavor agreements with organizations such as the National Wild Turkey Federation and Quality Deer Management Association.
To make a donation to the LOGT that can be used for cash rewards, please contact Lt. Will Roberts at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I have to admit, I'm not a big television watcher. I enjoy watching, but simply don't have the time. I usually catch a Food Network show or two after I get in bed, usually after 10 p.m.
When I was contacted recently and sent an invitation to preview an upcoming show…Working Class on CMT, I wasn't really sure what to think. But after reading what the show was about, I was intrigued to watch.
Working Class focuses on Carli Mitchell played by Melissa Peterman, a single mom from a rough and tumble background, trying to give her kids a better life by moving them to an upscale suburb. She quickly finds that making the transition to "the good life" is harder than she thought.
She's unwittingly befriended by her cranky neighbor, Hank played by Ed Asner, her only "career" prospect is a glorified deli job at the local grocery store, and the man she falls for not only already has a girlfriend – but he's also her boss, Rob played by Patrick Fabian. With her ladies-man brother, Nick played by Steve Kazee, to help her out (when he's not acting like one of the kids himself), Carli faces the challenges of parenting, dating, and making friends in her new community by doing more with less, staying true to herself, and approaching each day with a touch of working class.
Doug and I had a little "date night". We took our dinner into the office, downloaded the episode and watched it together.
Our take on Working Class…H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S!!
The show is down to earth, and all about everyday struggles that we all face. And Ed Azner has been a favorite of mine for years.
WORKING CLASS premieres January 28 at 8:00 p.m., ET/PT on CMT.

The Warning Signs of Bad Wheel Alignment
Having the wheels on your car aligned properly can drastically affect its performance. It may not seem terribly inconvenient for regular driving, but if you find yourself in an emergency situation or have to make a sharp turn at high speed, wheel alignment can be the difference between life and death. Luckily, your car will give you many hints that it's time to get a re-alignment done, so keep an eye out for symptoms that your car isn't quite right, and do something if an obvious issue emerges. The following are tell-tale signs that you should have your wheel alignment checked.
If your car drifts to one side a little when you are driving on a flat road, you may have a problem with your wheel alignment. If the drifting is only slight and towards the gutter, it may simply be that the roads are banked, which is common, and there may be nothing wrong with your alignment. A significant wheel alignment problem will cause your vehicle to drift significantly to one side — even against the slope if it's bad enough.
Off-centre steering wheel
You can often tell that your wheel alignment is out just by looking at the steering wheel, as if it is off centre, you likely have a wheel alignment issue.
Vibrating steering
If your steering wheel vibrates when you are driving, it can mean that your wheel alignment or balance is out. The vibration may be caused by your wheels having been knocked out of alignment, which can often be the result of hitting a pothole. The vibrating may be the precursor to a bigger, more serious problem, so get it checked out before it gets worse.
Uneven tyre wear
If your wheel alignment is out, often it will be reflected in wear rates among your tyres, as poor alignment will cause some parts of the wheel to wear far quicker than others. A good way to tell is by measuring the depth of the rubber on each side of each tyre. If the wheels are aligned properly they will all be the same, but if there is a discrepancy by wearing on the inside or the outside, you may have a wheel alignment issue.
Loose steering
If your steering feels kind of loose or wanders a little around the road, this can be another sign of a wheel alignment issue. Your car should have a relatively direct feel and response to the direction that you are pointing it, so even if it's not exactly drifting, if it is anything but direct, have the wheel alignment looked at by your mechanic.
Considering the speeds you are sometimes moving at in your car, making sure that your wheels are always pointing the right way is a pretty important consideration. If your car's steering hasn't been feeling as direct and responsive as you'd like, or if the look or your tyres is starting to worry you a little, have a car service done and get your wheel alignment checked. If the problem is the wheel alignment, once it is fixed you'll feel like you are driving a new car.

Excellent run down – I'm sure it's the same for you but most people never 100% fully understand what a wheel alignment is, so they have it done on the cheap and aren't able to check if the job was done correctly or not.

very nicely explained wheel alignment.
good job.

Does the Wheel Alignment, electronic / computerized report (printout / customer copy) help in assessing the quality of wheel alignment?
December 31st, 2014 at 5:08 am
Hi Avdhoot,
Yes it would. With the printout, you can clearly see the wheel alignment settings both prior and after the wheel alignment was done on your car. This then lets you know what changed during the service and if it now set at the correct specifications for your car.

I was shocked to see this printer for forty USD. bestbuy has a similar printer for seventy USD. Value for the price is phenominal IMO. enough of that.... the very first print took about 60-90 seconds to start printing. after that, it seem to take the paper just as quick as i would expect. It didnt need any adjustments right out of the box. the color was crisp and accurate. When I used the copy function, i was pleased to find i didnt need it hooked up to my netbook to make a copy. the copy was fast enough for our uses. Very happy with my purchase!!
I'm a student and this is a great little printer for me. The price was great when you order it online and it comes with a USB cable. I haven't printed pictures yet but regular text printing has come out crisp. The scanner works well too. The only drawback that I can see is the area that you load the paper. It is a pop up area in the back and the paper loads at a vertical angle. There is no paper tray to keep the printer loaded, unless you leave the flap up in the back (which I think would cause the paper to bend a little and the inside of the printer to potentially collect dust). Other than that I would recommend this printer!
I find the printer to be an excellent one and would keep it if it was working properly. I'm sure we can resolve this issue in the near future
I have worked in the Computer field since 1984 I am certified hardware repair certified BY HP Epson Okidata - Kodak - Star - Compaq... also software programming and if you are looking for a Flatbed 4800 dpi Scanner that is Win 7 compatible You can not beat the deal on the Canon MP250 PixMate that also has Picture perfect color glossy print out and if you buy the cartridges from Walmart (available in a standard and extended ink) at a price that is one third of the cost of a comparable HP type ink cartridge ! The unit comes complete cables ink cartridges and paper, it is easy even for a complete computer neophyte to setup and for the more advanced user sharing across network is a breeze. The Canon solution center software package is easy to use from novice to expert delivers stunning image capture and resolution - check out my website and check the 'photo Montages' most of the images were scanned from hard print copies (http:/dhhot.info)
and the best part of the PixmateMP250 is the price... i purchased it on line and drove to the nearest store and picked it up ! the only way this deal could better would be to have someone give it to me... Good Living to you.
This printer is amazing , it does everything it advertised i have had no problems so far ..
I was hesitant at first to buy this printer because I had read in other reviews where people complained about it running through ink too quick.
When I walked into WalMart I was on a tight budget but still needed something that I could use to get a novel printed quickly since my deadline is looming, and after pacing the aisles I wound up picking this printer up. I have to say, I'm glad I didn't let my skepticism get the best of me.
I took it home and plugged it in and within 5 minutes I was printing my book. Amazing printer for the price - and if you want to conserve ink simply set it to print in Greyscale under the printer options, that way it doesn't use the color cartridge.
Overall it's an awesome printer for an amazing price (came to $43.00 with tax), beats all the other printers I have owned hands down. If you need a good printer at a great price, you can't go wrong with this one.
1. The price for the printer & accessories is cheap but the cost to replace the ink is high!!! I just found out from technical support that everytime I turn my printer off (to conserve energy) the printer heads clean themselves & use ink to do this. I don't use the color ink but I print often in black (grayscale). Well, my color ink disappears anyway b/c the inkheads automatically clean themselves after so many prints & everytime the printer is turned on. I wish I knew this b4 purchasing this printer. BE AWARE b/c you will spend a lot replacing ink cartridges.
2. The printer makes a lot of noise when you turn it on/off and after each print session.
3. Universal refills aren't available for the ink yet.
4. This would be a good investment only if you don't print often.
5. Also, you must have both cartridges in to print.
I use my printer on a daily basis and had no problems for over 6 months until recently. Bought two new ink cartridges to replace my old ones. After about a week of use on the new cartridges, straight lines turned into a wavy pattern. Now remind you I've purchased several new ink cartridges for this machine in the past and never had this result. After trying to read the guides, I called a helpful support tech who walked me through the process. After using up both ink cartridges for maintenance, to no avail, I was told it could be the ink itself. Went out on good faith to purchase two more ink cartridges, SURPRISE, same thing! So I called again and was told it was due to heavy use, which I could understand, and to purchase a new printer. Now after just 20 days of having the new printer and being the only one to use it, I'm having the same problem with the stock ink. Bought new cartridges and went through the process again to no avail again! I'm taking back the printer and upgrading to a better model. I would hope you'd do the same to save you time and money!
I bought this printer on November 22 2009 at walmart and let me just tell you, it was the best steal possible only at a surprising $40 and i berlieve it still is. It works great and is totally worth the value, not cheap at all. It prints very sharp and clear photos as well as document prints. The scanner and copier is perfect and handy when needed. I love it because in the box a came fully loaded with color and black ink, photo paper and usb cord. the print speed is accurate, at least about 4-7 seconds per page. and it doesnt consume ink as much!!!!
I just bought this printer a few days ago and wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing or not since I had never own a cannon product and reading the mixed reviews. I was very smart to have bought it! This printer is awesome! It prints with such high quality that the copies I print are brighter and clearer then originals, the pictures come out looking like I had just had them printed at a photo shop, and scanning is so quick and easy that anyone can do it. The set up was a little confusing with the top line showing what to do if you had Windows and right below it what to do if you have a Mac. Other then that, it was so easy. I read comments saying that the printer was loud, but I have performed all the tasks and believe me, this machine is way quieter then the other two I own. Others say that it also uses a lot of ink, but to my amazement I am still showing both cartridges as full after printing a few word documents and 4 picutres. I truly believe that you will be very happy with this product and you totally can't beat the price for it. Do yourself a favor and before going out and purchasing a more expensive all in one printer to do standard projects at home, invest in this machine.
I ordered this all in one printer/scanner/copier to solve our daily printing/copying activities. I think the product is amazing for the price. I couldn get a similar piece anywhere for the price. It shipped to home in 97 cents. Very easy to setup. Clear instructions. The printer takes a while to start and makes little noise. But that can be ignored. The prints are awesome and clear. the copying almost happens instantly. I have not used the scanner yet. The product is worth every penny.I would recommend it.
I bought this printer and one month latter didn't want to pull sheets. I read that these printers had this kind of problems and this people said very bad comments.
I FOUND THAT SMALL AMAOUNTS OF DUST IN ROLLERS THAT PULL THE SHEETS CAUSED SHEETS SLIP (OR SLIDE) SO ROLLERS NEVER WERE ABLE TO PULL THE SHEETS. After rollers were cleaned up with common alcohol printer worked perfectly. I hope this is useful for somebody else. I almost emptied the cartridges runing tests in the printer in order to find the problem.
I got this as a replacement for my epson printer.
The ink was out and found both inks would cost 4 bucks more than this combo unit. The canon does a nice job on text and good on color printing. The
scanner works well on copying homework and such.
This is great bang for the buck.
First I bought the HP F4440, then the HP F2480. BOTH say "Windows 7 ready" on the box. I have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. With BOTH printers, when printing, the dialog box would come up and say either "Connecting with printer" or "Communicating with printer" and that would stay there for 15 minutes or longer before I could change the print settings and finally print. I spent two hours on the phone with HP tech support who ended having me use the generic driver for a different HP printer, losing some of the functionality at the same time. In the end, I returned both HP printers and bought this Canon MP250 for $40 and guess what? EVERYTHING works with the Canon with ZERO issues or problems! I highly recommend the Canon MP250! Stay away from those two HP printers if you have Windows 7! Buy this Canon MP250!
this has it all and what a steel!!!!! $40.00 comes with ink, usb cable and a few sheets of picture paper and prints beautifully!!! if you need an all in one.. print,copy,scan get this you will not regret it!!!
This item works great. The only problem I had was it runs out of ink to fast. I use it for home use and I don't use it for pictures. I even purchased the ink cartridges that are 210XL and 211XL that have more ink in them and I still run out of ink in no time at all. I'm going to buy a HP printer and dump this one. It was cheap to buy but cost too much to use it.
I've had this printer for over a year. I paid more than what it is now, but was worth the money. The cartridges are some of the more affordable ones, and easy to change. Many print options to chose from. Picture card friendly. No troubles.
PRICE I HAD TO GET IT. i really like it and the
QualIty of pictures is amazing and prints
TOO BIG. scanner and copy works excellent!
I've been wanting to get a scanner for a while so I could put some memorabilia on the Facebook page of a group I'm in and around midnight one night I was looking at several sites and found this all-in-one. I was amazed that it was $28, including an extra, longer cord. I was skeptical so I checked the reviews and they were almost all very positive then I looked at other sites like Amazon, Best Buy and Target and nobody else was even close on the price. When it arrived I found the set-up to be a fairly short and well-explained procedure and I printed a photo from my computer on one of the five sheets of 3 X 5 photo paper that came with it - very good results. I scanned some photos and club calendars and found this to be an easy task - on screen directions giving step-by-step instruction. It's not excessively noisy, the photos and documents I've printed are sharp and clear and it's certainly quick enough for my purposes. It's a Canon, enough said. Highly recommend this item.
This printer looks like it's very high quality and works perfectly, no problem with scanning, copying, b/w or color printing. I haven't yet tried the photo printing option but it does come with a few sheets of photo printing paper.
I have Windows 7 and had no issues with setup. I visited their website for the latest drivers and was surprised to find that the included disk had newer drivers than the Canon website.
Other than that, not much to tell...it lays down a lot of toner so the pages are almost heavy, but I looked into prices for refill toner cartridges and I found them very reasonable (around $14 on sale), and of course it comes with a b/w cartridge and a color cartridge. Very happy with my purchase!

About Guéthénoc, vicomte du Porhoët
Stuart Baldwin Website, http://sbaldw.home.mindspring.com/hproject/prov/conan000.htm writes:
Juthael, count of Porhoët (existence uncertain)
The Breton genealogist du Paz is the evident source (followed by numerous secondary sources) for the statement that Conan had a son Juthael, count of Porhoët, the claimed father of viscount Guethenoc, who witnessed a charter of duke Geoffroy I (d. 1008) [Cart. Redon, 247]. In a discussion of the origin of the counts of Porhoët [Morice (1750): 1: 975-9 (Note XLV)], Morice cites "Hist. Mss. des Comtes de Porhoet" by du Paz as the source. However, there does not appear to be any confirmation of even the existence of Juthael, count of Porhoët, and the well documented genealogy of the viscounts and counts of Porhoët begins with Guethenoc.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The noble Breton family line of Porhoët is represented in modern times by the Franco-Breton House of Rohan. Josselin Castle and the River Oust
The first recognised vicomte de Porhoet was Guithenoc (abt. 990-1040CE), was born in Guilliers. He married Allurum (994-?) of Guilliers. He became Vicomte, and in about 1008 he moved to La Trinite, in Porhoet. Both Guilliers and Porhoet are located in the modern day French Departement of Morbihan in the province of Brittany.
In Porhoët Guithenoc built Josselin Castle, which he named for his son, Josselin (1020–1074). It is still owned by the descendants of Porhoet and is the longest continuously held private estate in the world.
Vicomte Josselin de Porhoet had three sons with the surname Rohan: Mainguy De Rohan, Jostho de Rohan, and Roger de Rohan. He had a fourth son, the third vicomte de Porhoet, Eudo I de Porhoet (1049-?).
Eudo (or Eudes) I married Anne de Leon (1065-?). They had two children, Vicomte Geoffrey de Porhoet (1092–1141) and Alain I de Rohan
Geoffrey is said to have married Hawisa Fergant of Brittany (abt. 1105-?). They had two sons, one of which was as Odo II or Odo, Viscount of Porhoet (1122-?).
Franco-Breton House of Rohan
Alain le Noir was the 1st Viscount de Rohan. He was the third son of Eudes I de Porhoet and his wife Emma de Léon (the daughter of Guyomarch II, Viscount de Léon). The name Rohan comes from the name of the castle he built, and passed on to his descendants, on the shores of the Oust.
His son, Eudes, married Bertha, the daughter of Conan III and Empress Matilda. They had no descendants.
Viscount of Porhoet as Duke of Brittany
Eudes II of Porhoet, known also as Odo II is a notable figure in the history of the Duchy of Brittany.
Odo II married into the ruling duchy of Brittany through his first marriage to Bertha (b.1114-?). This was Bertha's second marriage. She was the daughter of Conan III, Duke of Brittany. Upon Bertha's death, Odo II served as Regent to Bertha's son Conan IV of Penthièvre. Bertha and Odo II had three children permitting the Porhoet line to continue. Bertha's sister Constance (1118-?) was next in line to the duchy (after Bertha); she married Alan, younger brother to Odo II, thus cementing Porhoet claims to Brittany.
When Bertha died, Odo II tried to deny Conan IV his inheritance and usurp the rule of Brittany. He formed an alliance with Hoel, Count of Nantes, Conan III's disinherited son.[a] In order to counter Odo II, Henry II of England invaded Brittany. [b] In 1516 Odo was deposed by his step son and imprisoned by Conan IV's ally Raoul de Fougeres. Henry II raised Josselin Castle.
Odo II possibly had a second marriage with Jeanne/Eléonore de Léon, daughter of Guiomar III, Vicomte de Léon. They had two, and possibly three, children.
The Vicomtes and Counts of Porhoët
- Guithenoc (990 - 1040) - becomes Vicomte;
- Josselin - Vicomte de Porhoet - son of Vicomte Guithenoc
- Odo[c] I, Vicomte de Porhoët- son of Vicomte Josselin
- Geoffrey, Victome de Porhoët - son of Odo I, married Hawise Fergant of Brittany
- Odo II - husband of Bertha and so son-in-law of Conan III, Duke of Brittany; contested the Ducal Crown of Brittany
- Odo III, Comte de Porhoët - son of Odo III
- Yolande de Dreux (1218-1272), Comtesse de Porhoët [d]
- Alan, [e] - son of Odo III; flees to England
- Alan de Porhoët - younger brother of Odo II, husband to Constance of Brittany, the younger sister of Bertha
- Alan - Vicomte de Rohan; son of Odo I and founder of the House of Rohan
- ^ In order to consolidate his power, King Henry II of England (5 March 1133- 6 July 1189) had planned to replace Duke Conan III of Brittany with someone from his immediate family. He had promised his younger brother Geoffrey, of the house of Plantegenet, this duchy if he succeeded to the throne of England. To this end, he had Conan III disinherit his son Hoel III, claiming him as illegitimate. (Hoel III's mother, the Duchess, Maude, was a daughter and illegitimate heir to Henry I of England). This meant that Bertha, who was the next in line to the duchy of Brittany, became the legitimate heir to the estate of Conan III.
- ^ Henry II faced anarchy on many fronts; he was in the midst of the "Nineteen Year Winter." His younger brother Geoffrey, to whom he had promised the duchy, also contested the throne. As a result of the invasion of Brittany, the Porhoet family eventually recognised Henry II as King.
- ^ Odo, in French, is Eudes.
- ^ Countess of Porhoët suo jure; her father was Pierre Mauclerc
- ^ In an earlier edition of this article he is listed as the 1st Baron Zouche. This claim is under review.

"Get your kids out in the countryside, take them fishing and get them away from their little hand-held machines," he told TODAY.
Forrest Fenn reads some of the nearly 7,500 emails he's received from treasure hunters hoping for a hint.
Me, my older brother, this chick he's trying to hook up with and her friend, this cool kid, chubby kid, and Asian dude are gonna find this shite.
Imagine paying the taxes on that treasure as soon as you find it
As I have gone alone in there And with my treasures bold, I can keep my secret where, And hint of riches new and old.
Begin it where warm waters halt And take it in the canyon down, Not far, but too far to walk. Put in below the home of Brown.
From there it's no place for the meek, The end is drawing ever nigh; There'll be no paddle up your creek, Just heavy loads and water high.
If you've been wise and found the blaze, Look quickly down, your quest to cease But tarry scant with marvel gaze, Just take the chest and go in peace.
So why is it that I must go And leave my trove for all to seek? The answers I already know I've done it tired, and now I'm weak
So hear me all and listen good, Your effort will be worth the cold. If you are brave and in the wood I give you title to the gold.
Happy hunting!
yet the house of Brown is south of Sante Fe
It's simple it can't be too far from where he parked his car. He is an old man and probably not able to carry it too far. There's no way he paddled a boat far away while carrying a treasure chest a long way from his car!

Hershey, Pa. --- New research from Penn State College of Medicine shows that oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use by healthy teenage females does not affect their peak bone mass, or their growth.
Peak hip bone mineral density is achieved in late adolescence, usually by age 16. In this study, participants had their total body and hip bone density measured with using a DXA scanner. Bone density and bone mass was measured to see if there was any change caused by OCP use.
The study involved 62 white females who were studied from ages 12 to 20. There were 28 young women who used birth control pills for at least 6 months and were still using at age 20, with the average duration of use of 22 months; and 34 non-users. They are part of the Penn State Young Women's Health Study, which is a prospective epidemiological study that began in 1990 and believed to be the largest study of its kind.
Tom Lloyd, professor of health evaluation sciences and obstetrics and gynecology, said, "There was no difference in bone density between the two groups. This is good news because hormones in OCPs might, in theory, affect bone density, and peak bone mass is important in preventing osteoporosis later in life."
He notes that while there has been extensive research with older women on the use of OCPs and bone density, no previous studies have been conducted with teenaged women.
"We know that young women in particular are also very concerned about undesirable body changes," says Lloyd. "The average woman gains 40 to 50 percent of her skeletal mass – approximately 1,000 grams of bone mass during adolescence."
Lloyd, also director, Penn State Young Women's Health Study; Denise Taylor, clinical research coordinator; Hung Mo Lin, biostatistician and assistant professor of health evaluation sciences; Amy Matthews, biostatistical analyst; Douglas Eggil, associate professor of radiology; and Richard Legro, M.D., associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, all Penn State College of Medicine, published their findings in "Oral Contraceptive Use by Teenage Women Does Not Affect Peak Bone Mass: A Longitudinal Study," is published in the October issue of the journal Fertility and Sterility.
Their work was sponsored by the National Institutes of Health through its support of the General Clinical Research Center at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- B.A.R.F./Raw Feeding (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/b-r-f-raw-feeding/)
- - Supplementing RAW with Pumpkin (raw or otherwise).. (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/b-r-f-raw-feeding/209034-supplementing-raw-pumpkin-raw-otherwise.html)
Supplementing RAW with Pumpkin (raw or otherwise)..
Hey I tried looking around the forum and the only references i can get through the search function is pumpkin with relation to diarrhoea/ runny stools.
My 3mo puppy hasnt really had diarrhoea and his stools have been awesome, only rarely it is soft.
Diet has been....
Breakfast: Milk with about 120 grams of lowest-quality kibble (pedigree). I switch between the puppy formula and the adult formula to get the best balance. /shrugs
Lunch: 3 scrambled eggs with 2 shells, although sometimes he shakes it off. On alternate weeks, he will get a whole raw frozen Glass Eye Squirrelfish (Heteropriacanthus cruentatus).. sometimes red tilapia or pirapitinga/ pacu . (Thats the best/ cheapest I can find here for thiaminase-free fish.)
Dinner: 2 chicken necks, inclusive of head, brain and beak. On alternate weeks, 2 chicken drumsticks. All raw and frozen.
Sometimes when I run out of kibbles, I substitute with 1 chicken neck for breakfast.
Anyways, this little monster is growing like a balloon, and I will be VERY happy to be able to include pumpkin for him so as to manage my future finances better.
From what I know, pumpkin is pretty healthy as far as humans are concerned and even contains a small amount of protein. It has quite a bit of vitamin A, and its seeds are good source of iron.
Does anyone here actually know if it were harmful if I added 1/3 of every meal into pumpkin as he grows up?
For e.g., instead of feeding him 3 chicken necks, I feed him 2 chicken necks + equivalent amount (in relation to 1 neck) in pumpkin.
And lets say its actually okay (pumpkin is hella cheap here, plus I love the taste as well haha), do I give him raw? With skin? With the "guts"? What about the seeds? Or do I have to boil everything?
Possible problems I can guess would be an eventual overload of vitamin A? Iron?
Also, he likes the pumpkin and as usual, his stool is okay I suppose, although Im no vet.
Like i said, its all really financial. The GSD owners here actually feed a very large portion of porridge to meat, even for adult dogs btw and... well, doesnt seem likes theres a problem heh.
I bet if I told them what I feed my GSD, they would probably think Im insane and am made of money.
Actually, these locals Im talking about are the local navy with their working attack dogs. Thats where I got my puppy from. :]

In too big of a hurry to post, but quickly, you want to stop feeding milk. They don't need it, nor tolerate it well.
I am not a raw feeder, but hopefully someone will come on here later with some suggestions for you. I only know that pumpkin can be fed to help with diarrhea or constipation, others on here can probably help you with it being in the diet daily. Have you tried entering the word pumpkin or raw diet in the search in the black bar at the top of the page, you may be able to find something that will help you with your question?
Oh btw just for everyone's info, there was this couple of days I ran out of meat and was too lazy to go to the store and just fed him exclusively kibbles..
It was poop ****... all soft and runny and smelled bad. Yuck.
I can say poop but I can't say h-ell? Haha oh dear..
This festive gourd is a miracle food for dogs. Good for both diarrhea and constipation, canned pumpkin (not raw, not the sugary, spicy pie filling) is loaded with fiber and beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Don't give Buddy a lot of it—too much A is highly toxic to dogs—but a couple of teaspoons a day for little pups, or a couple of tablespoons for big boys, should keep them right on track.

There is no nutritional need that can be filled feeding large amounts of pumpkin to dogs.
It is fiber - a filler. Good to bind things up when too loose or get things moving when stuck.
You can give your dog pumpkin, providing that it's cooked first. Nutritionally it's great, but it really shouldn't be his main source of food. Only a supplement. Your pup won't need more than a couple tablespoons a day. So if it's fresh pumpkin you would like to use, than I recommend you roast it in an oven. Once it's cooked, remove the peel, and put the filling into ice cube trays and freeze it. Then you can always have some frozen pumpkin on hand in Tablespoon sized quantities.
As regards the rest of his diet....
Ditch the milk. As Sunflowers said, he doesn't need it and it's likely to cause gastric upset anyway.
Go easy on giving him the eggshells with his lunch if you are giving him kibble. The odd one isn't going to hurt him, but eggshells have a lot of calcium, which can be detrimental for growing pups if they get too much. The eggs can be fed raw if you are in a hurry and don't want to scramble them.
The switching around the adult and puppy formula for kibble could cause tummy upset as well. It would be best to stick with just one that works for your pup.
Supplementing with chicken necks, heads, and fish is all great though. Keep up with that! :)
I had my dog on a raw diet for the last 4 years and used to give pumpkin here and there. It definitely helps firm up a stool, but it gave my dog gas. She always seems to be burping and I only observed this when she was given pumpkin. Like RUA said ditch the milk.
I'd also cut out the milk and eggshells and add more muscle meats/fish to your dogs diet. The chicken bones (As well as the kibble) would meet your dogs daily need of calcium so you don't need it from milk or eggshells.
I would continue to feed the kibble, chicken necks/heads/drumsticks and eggs as you already are and just add a bit of fish (Doesn't have to be a whole one every day, you can cut them up into smaller amounts to feed) or muscle meats (beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, ect) each day. You can add some pumpkin if you want but I wouldn't add more than 1-2 spoonfuls of it each day, dogs don't really need it.

flannel sheet and pins , roll it up when not in use.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
flannel sheet and pins , roll it up when not in use.
Great idea. I have the windows, but in the wrong room. Maybe I can put them over the door wall in my sewing room. I'll have to think about it. Only wall space left!
Sharon (Gypsylady)
You have come up with a clever solution.
Great idea! I definitely need to do that.
My sewing room is in the basement, and the bottom half of the wall is made of stained, rough wood, the top half is painted drywall, framed by smaller pieces of the same wood.
I strung wire between the sections of one of the walls, running the wire through the springs on clothespins. Makes a wonderful display area for quilts in progress. Similar idea, but more clothespins and easier to DIY.
That is a neat idea and I love your quilts, especially the first one.
Love the quilt (I guess the Orca Bay) it's colors are what I have been looking for. The blocks look spectacular.
Enjoy the day, Chickadee_42us
Good idea!
Improvisation is wonderful.

IPL crews offer storm relief in snowy West Virginia
IPL sent 22 IPL employees Monday to support restoration of power lost to thousands along the Eastern Seaboard in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. In addition, IPL sent 37 contractors consisting of linemen and tree-trimming crews who had been doing other work for IPL.
Restoring power to thousands left in the dark is difficult enough, but when you add two feet of snow and 45-mile-per hour winds, that task becomes even more challenging. Those are the conditions the IPL team faced when it answered the call for assistance earlier this week.
Headquartered in Beckley in the southwestern part of the state, the IPL crews were sent 22 miles north to focus on a mountainous area near the New River Gorge. Most of the work is being done at around 2,000-2,300 feet in elevation.
"We're seeing broken poles, broken cross-arms and a lot of wire down," reported Monsanto Love, one of the IPL Crew Leaders. "Trees have been an issue with a lot of snow on them. They're bending until they snap and are taking out more equipment off the poles. Right now we're trying to get as many main lines up as we can, but road conditions are slowing us down."
Access to the damage was difficult on Tuesday, but improved after many of the roads were cleared overnight. The crews dealt with a mix of rain and snow yesterday. Better weather is forecast for the rest of the week with partly sunny skies and highs in 50s.
"We've still got a lot of stuff in mountainous areas where there are gullies and gorges," said Monsanto. "It's still going to be very hard to get to."

The zero-carbon homes of the future should self-generate the vast majority of the energy they use, but a small amount of near-site or off-site renewable generation will also be allowed, a report says today.
The UK Green Building Council's (GBC) new report, The Definition of Zero Carbon, was thrashed out by a range of stakeholders trying to work out a blueprint for the provision of zero-carbon homes from 2016 mandated by the government.
The GBC's zero-carbon task force was chaired by Mark Clare of Barratt Developments. The company will this week unveil what it claims is the country's first zero-carbon house from a volume housebuilder.
Environmentalists and construction firms have been debating how to define zero carbon, with greens wanting each house to be zero carbon while the housebuilders argue that could be too expensive or impracticable. They want the flexibility to invest in offshore wind farms, for instance, as part of their commitment to renewable energy on their developments.
The GBC report rules that out, but does say some district heating schemes could be allowed or housebuilders could, in certain circumstances, pay into a community energy pot to fund local projects.
GBC chief executive Paul King said: "The government's level of ambition is spot on and should be supported 100%. This is not about dumbing down or abandoning the concept of zero carbon. This is about ensuring the same high level of carbon savings, but allowing developers more flexibility."
He stressed that near-site schemes could be approved but only if there was proof that the project was a genuine addition to the country's renewable-energy provision, and that the energy would be used to power that specific development. Failing that, the developer could pay into a community fund that would ensure equal or greater net carbon savings through new installations.
"The price of paying into the fund should be set at a margin above the cost of community-scale solutions so as to clearly incentivise the installation of on-site or local measures first," says the report.
The report, which will feed into the government's consultation on the definition of zero-carbon homes this year, is likely to be approved as it has been agreed by a range of different interests. Clare said: "The value of this report is reflected in the high degree of consensus reached by many different stakeholders."
WWF, the charity that has been a key driver behind the government's zero-carbon homes initiative, said the 2016 target was "eminently achievable".
Simon McWhirter, WWF's homes campaign manager, said: "WWF is optimistic that the findings from the Task Group will dispel confusion over the definition of zero carbon, investing more developers with the confidence to build to the very highest levels of sustainability. We hope this will help deliver practical zero-carbon homes well ahead of the 2016 deadlines."
Zero-carbon homes will be so well insulated they will require very little heating. They would have appliances consuming minimum electricity to be provided by installations such as solar photovoltaic panels or combined heat and power (CHP) plants. The report's definitions will allow for a single CHP plant to power several adjacent homes.

Report: Lakers trying to acquire first-round pick, eyeing Baylor duo
The Los Angeles Lakers traded their first-round pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers in March in a package for point guard Ramon Sessions. Sessions recently opted out of his contract, although he said he would consider re-signing with L.A.
The Lakers, though, may still be able to salvage something on draft night, however. Sam Amico of FoxSportsOhio.com tweets that an Eastern Conference executive tells him that the Lakers are trying to trade back into the first round, with an eye on the Baylor frontcourt duo of Perry Jones III and Quincy Miller.
https://twitter.com/SamAmicoFSO/status/215601186689138688 In his latest mock draft, SI.com's Sam Amick has Jones going 16th overall and Miller not among the top 30 picks, which means that if the Lakers can't jump into the middle of the first round, they still might be able to get one of their targets at the top of the second.

Helena Christensen is coming to the defense of Kim Kardashian.
In an open letter posted on Huffington Post, the 44-year-old supermodel and former Victoria's Secret Angel blasted the criticism of the reality star's changing baby body.
"It is disgusting and despicable the way that certain media constantly harass the pregnant Kim Kardashian," Helena wrote. "It's enough that they persistently project a negative focus on women's physical shapes; but a public bullying and attacking of a pregnant woman because of her growing shape is just lower than low."
PHOTOS: Body After Baby - Stars Who Slimmed Down After Giving Birth
The 32-year-old mom-to-be, who is due in July, has been called "fat" and likened to a whale in recent weeks.
As a mother herself, Helena (who has a 13-year-old son with "The Walking Dead" star Norman Reedus) said mocking a woman's pregnant body should always be off limits.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Moms & Their Adorable Little Ones
"Whatever else the tabloid-media feel a sick need to spew out of their venomous bowels, let that be their lame choice. But there should be some moral compass. It doesn't matter who the woman is or what she does," she wrote. "No one should ever be publicly judged for their body, but to attack an expecting mother is sacrilegious and just plain wrong. A pregnant woman should not be criticized for her shape, period!!"
Kim also opened about being criticized for adding a few pounds during an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Thursday.

"I mean, what do you expect? I hope I gain weight. I'm a little heavy," she said. "There's just more to love right now."
Adding, "I have the rest of my life to be skinny and to lose weight and I'm not really worrying about it. If I have a craving I'll go for it."

Scientific research: Matterhorn under close observation
The Matterhorn, local name "Hore", is in motion. In 2003, rockslides from the Hörnligrat ridge attracted international attention. The Matterhorn has long been under scientific observation. Scientists state that rockslides have always been a possibility and are keeping an eye on the mountain of mountains in order to understand the mechanisms at work.
Andreas Hasler from the Geographical Institute in Zurich says: "If spring and summer are very warm, the events of 2003 could well be repeated." In plain language, there could be more rockslides on the Hörnligrat. On 15 July 2003, around 1'000 cubic metres of rock came down. Over 90 mountain climbers had to be helicoptered off the mountain and the climbing route was closed for several days. The rock mass of 1'000 cubic metres is equivalent to a cube with a size of 10 x 10 x 10 metres.
The "Hore" under close observation
For several years, a network of wireless sensors has been supplying data on rock movement on the Matterhorn. Researchers from the National Centre of Competence in Research «Mobile Information and Communications Systems» (NFS MICS) are now publishing their findings, which are helping to better understand rockslides and monitor risk zones in areas of permafrost.
In a media release, the SNSF (Swiss National Science Foundation) goes into detail about the mechanisms. The Alpine landscape will undergo great transformation in coming decades as a result of global climate change. The glaciers will recede even further and the number of rockslides must be expected to rise. Experts have been recording an increase in such events in the Alps for several years. This applies in particular to areas of permafrost, where the bedrock is permanently frozen. A rockslide occurred on the Hörnligrat ridge of the Matterhorn in the hot summer of 2003. Inspection of the breakaway point showed that the rockslide had exposed various frozen fissures. A team of researchers around Stephan Gruber from Zurich University thus took a more in-depth look at the unstable area on the Matterhorn.
In summer 2007, Gruber's group, together with scientists from Basel University and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, installed a network of wireless sensors on the Hörnligrat ridge. This was within the framework of the PermaSense project by the National Centre of Competence in Research «Mobile Information and Communications Systems» (NFS MICS) and also funded by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment. The network allowed researchers to measure rock movement in the various fissures over several years. The researchers state that they determined a complex pattern of movement apparently influenced by two factors. When the rock warms in summer, it expands and closes the fissures. When the rock cools again in autumn, it contracts and the fissures reopen. This expansion and contraction gradually changes the geometrical arrangement of the fissure, with the result that over a period of time, the rock loosens.
"The measurement data of recent years gives us valuable information to better understand the processes in areas of permafrost," says Stephan Gruber. "It will help us with the long-term and targeted monitoring of danger zones." That frozen rock tends to be less stable in warmer temperatures is an obvious hypothesis. "But we still only know the basics of what is taking place underground."
Consult local experts
For any Alpine expedition on the Matterhorn to be made in safety, it is advisable to obtain information from the Alpin Center. The local guides are experts on the Matterhorn. They can guarantee the greatest possible degree of safety for their guests; they know the routes and the risks of sudden changes in the weather and rockslides.

Sampling is the one production technique that has influenced the evolution of popular music more than any other in the last 20 years. This handbook is invaluable for anyone interested in sampling techniques and sample-based music. Not only does it cover the essentials of setting up and using a system, but it also details the history of sound manipulation and the artists who have made sampling a worldwide phenomenon. The book demonstrates how musicians can either use a sample as a recognizable sonic quote or as raw material for some serious sonic twisting. Two accompanying CDs provide more than 600 exclusive, high-quality samples ready to use in any project.

The other day I discovered a saloon by mistake as I was stuck in a traffic jam where I saw poster advertsing the fish foot spa similar to this.

A "saloon"? Sounds like a cowboy operation to me LOL!
I think its cruel...... I can't imagine any fish wanting to go anywhere near my feet after a LSR... minging!
i'v had one- good giggle with girls but not really sure of the benefits! It was bit surreal but my feet did feel lovely afterwards!
I did go 2 days after a HM so i'm not sure what the fish made of it
If they have no teeth, how do they get rid of the dead skin?
Do they carry little pumice stones in their gummy mouths?
I believe the ancient Egyptians used to put their feet into bowls full of cockroaches for pretty much the same effect. I think I'd prefer the fish.
I think the fish could be quite nice - I'd give it a try if I happened to be at a spa where they did it.
I don't think I'd go out of my way to find somewhere to have it done, and I wouldn't pay out a lot of money for it.
So basically, it's not likely to happen!
I once had a pedicure at a spa (I only go to spas about once every five years), and the girl used a kind of electric sander, and wore a thing like a welder's mask - and my feet are not that bad!
a fool and her money........
I once dived at a fish cleaning station, it was hilarious, although it is not tha same fish as Garra Rufa. Large fish have let themselves be cleaned by smaller fish for ages and it does work for them so yes I don't see why we can't use them, and if they spread diseases I am sure large fish, whales and mantas would not let themselves be cleaned.
But since we humans have arms we have lots of different ways of doing the same thing as the fish in other ways, it is up to you if you choose a fish or a pumice stone.
Karen, you need to avoid all this alternative therapy shite.
It's peopled by charlatans who only have one object in mind - to separate gullible idiots from their money.

Fixed priced retailer Poundland recently announced its plans to open a store in Grimsby sparking anticipation that several jobs could be created by the move.
A likely location for the potential premises could well be the vacant Somerfield unit in Osborne Street, one of very few sites capable of fufilling the 22-year old firm's specifications.
Letting agents Scotts, who handle the lease on the unit would neither confirm nor deny whether it will be located there.
Poundland, which has its headquarters in the West Midlans, sells a range of household and seasonal products, and opened its 400th store in April this year.
Turnover has been up more than 21 per cent in the past financial year reaching £780 million perhaps a factor leading to the latest potential expansion.
Poundland's trading director, David Crown said the store had "grown significantly" over the past year and remarked that the Grimbsy expansion was "fantastic to see".
He stated "We're looking forward to opening our doors!"
The chain was awarded the 2011 Discount Retailer of the Year title and welcomes four million customers through its doors each week.
If you are interested with this job opening then why not visit them and ask for current vacancies and ways to apply for them.
We will update this job news once we hear more about it so make sure you have bookmarked this page.

I haven't been ice skating in what seems like forever. I went on a date with a great guy a while back – he took me to a rink in Atlanta and as we went around the ice, this little snotty kid kept pushing me so I'd fall down (yes, that really happened). Besides a heavily bruised ego, it goes down as still one of the best dates I've ever been on. Fast forward a few years to my life here in DC, and I'm just now starting to discover all the fun things to do around my new city this season. One, of course, being the ice skating rink. While I'm still probably the worlds worst when it comes to gliding along the ice, I'm hoping to try this fun wintertime activity again, minus that snotty kid.

John Kerry: No, frankly, I don't think Obama takes enough credit for his foreign-policy successes
posted at 2:01 pm on May 30, 2014 by Erika Johnsen
I thought that this "President Humility Does Not Give Himself Enough Credit" line was just some rather ineptly delivered straw-grasping from a struggling State Department spokesperson, but… apparently not. This is the official stance from the department's top banana himself, via RCP:
JOHN KERRY: I don't think the president, frankly, takes enough credit for the successes that are on the table right now.
I mean, if you look at what has happened in Ukraine, the president led an effort to try to keep Europe unified with the United States, to put difficult sanctions on the table. Europe wasn't thrilled with that but they came along. …
In Syria the president, you know, obviously made his decision to strike Syria, and appropriately sent that decision to Congress. Congress didn't want to move, but we came up with another solution, which was get all of those chemical weapons out rather than just have one or two days of strike. …
In addition, the president has engaged with Iran. We were on a course to absolute collision where they were building a nuclear system and the world was standing opposed to that. But the president put in place a series of sanctions, a capacity to be able to bring Iran to the table. We are now in the middle of negotiations. …
So I think we are as engaged, more engaged than in any time in American history, and I think that case is there to be fully proven and laid out. And I think –
GWEN IFILL: Yet that's not the generally held impression.
JOHN KERRY: No, it's not. And the reason is there is a general, you know, frankly not fully informed, not factual, conventional sort of process that gets played out in the media. And of course there is an industry in Washington today of oppositionism, oppositionists – oppose anything. And the Congress and its current, you know, pace of legislating tells the whole story.
Of course the president's top diplomat is going to say that his boss's foreign policy is an especially good one, and Kerry is certainly prone to living in his own fool's paradise on what that brand of foreign-policy maneuvering can accomplish, but… President Obama doesn't assign himself enough credit, really? I guess "engagement" without doing much of anything to definitively mitigate or move these Ukraine/Syria/Iran situations is the new benchmark for success — and it doesn't even matter much, because those petty, obstructionist lawmakers won't allow him to really execute his vision anyway.

2 accused of operating meth lab in home with infant child
ONSLOW COUNTY - Deputies have arrested two people for allegedly operating a meth lab in a home they shared with a 6-month-old child.
According to the Onslow County Sheriff's Office, 32-year-old K.D. Dixon and 29-year-old Yvonda Jean Lewis, both of Gurganus Road near Maple Hill, were arrested on Friday.
Investigators said they received a call of domestic violence at the suspects' home on the 600 block of Gruganus Road. When the responding deputy arrived, he saw what appeared to be a "one pot" methamphetamine lab in plain view inside the residence, according to the Sheriff's Office. A 6-month-old child was also inside the home at the time.
The deputy removed the suspects and the infant from the home and called the Narcotics Unit, said investigators. Officials with the State Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Social Services and the 9 Mile Volunteer Fire Department also came to the scene.
The Narcotics Unit discovered that an active "one pot" meth lab was indeed inside the home, along with precursor chemicals, stated the Sheriff's Office. DSS and EMS officials took the infant to Onslow Memorial Hospital for decontamination and a physical examination. There was no word on the child's condition.
Dixon and Lewis were arrested and charged with felony possession with intent to manufacture, sell or distribute meth, felony maintaining a vehicle / dwelling for a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and misdemeanor child abuse by exposure to dangerous chemicals. They were each being held under a $275,000 bond, investigators said.

Red Lentil, Miso and Shiitake Mushroom Soup
Asian inspired and rich with miso flavor, this red lentil and mushroom soup is a hearty twist on classic Japanese miso soup.
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 1/2 cup red lentils
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch knob fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 6 cups vegetable stock
- 3 tablespoons miso paste
- Kosher or sea salt, to taste
- Sliced green onions, for garnish
How to make this recipe
Thoroughly rinse the red lentils in a fine-holed colander. Set aside.
Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and then stir in the shallots, garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute or until the shallots soften, and then stir in the mushrooms. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the mushrooms begin to soften.
Add the vegetable stock and miso. Stir the broth to completely dissolve the miso, and then increase heat to high, bringing the broth to a moderate boil. Stir in the lentils. Reduce heat and gently simmer for 20 minutes or until the lentils are tender. As it cooks, stir the soup occasionally so the lentils don't stick to the bottom of the pot.
Season with addition salt if desired and garnish with the green onions.

-stset- prepares your data for a survival analysis, it collects
information on the durations, which observations are censored, etc, and
makes this information easily accessible for programs especially writen
for survival analysis. This is convenient because almost all survival
analysis commands need that information, so during this your analysis
you only have to specify that once during -stset- and afterwards you
are always ok. These survival analysis commands can be recognized
because they are often preceded by st, e.g. -stcox-, -streg-, -sts-,
etc. -cloglog- can be used for survival analysis, but was not
specifically designed for that. You can also see it as a model for a
dichotomous dependent variable with a rather weird non-symetric link
function. So, as it was not designed for survival analysis, it won't
use the information collected by -stset-, and -stset-ing your data will
make no difference for -cloglog-.

Mitsui Fudosan Finds Defect in Apartment Built by ShimizuTakahiko Hyuga
Mitsui Fudosan Co., Japan's largest property developer by sales, reported defects in a residential complex being built by Shimizu Corp. and will start repairing those parts this month, Kawasaki City said in a statement.
Shimizu last month found cracks in the concrete of some columns on the fourth floor of the building that will be 47 stories when completed next year in Kawasaki City, the city's urban development department said in the statement on its website on March 31.
Mitsui Fudosan is the latest company to report defects at a residential building after Mitsubishi Estate Co. said one of its complexes in central Tokyo, built by Kajima Corp., will be scrapped and rebuilt after construction flaws were found.
Sekisui House Ltd. last month found some flaws in the foundation at a site in Tokyo where Taisei Corp. is working on a 30-story apartment building. Taisei will finish the repairs early this month and the quality of the property won't be affected, Sekisui said.
Mitsui Fudosan Residential Co., a unit of Mitsui Fudosan, plans to explain the details of the defects to buyers of the apartments from April 10, the city said. Mitsui Fudosan, which has sold 514 units out of 670 units, stopped selling the rest, the company said in a statement faxed to Bloomberg News today.
"We will deeply apologize and will respond to it with sincerity," Mitsui Fudosan said in the statement.
Shimizu will delay the completion of the building, which was expected in March 2015, Mitsui Fudosan said.
Shimizu will be responsible for fixing the defects, the company said in a statement e-mailed to Bloomberg News today. Akira Asakawa, a spokesman at Shimizu, declined to comment on the cause and details of the flaws.
The builder added the fifth and sixth floors without putting mortar between columns at the fourth floor, the city said.
