Life Magazine dated August 14, 1913. Cover art by A. D. Blashfield entitled Summer Joys. Cross stitch like pattern of a man wading in a stream with a woman and dog looking on. Blashfield started with Life Publishing in the 1890s and was the artist who drew the Life Cupid Angel that floats through all the Life Magazine pages at the turn of the century.
Contents include articles: A center spread illustrated by Charles Dana Gibson (of Gibson girl fame) entitled, "All sorts of pups" Disposition leaning toward going in and cleaning up Mexico Mr. Henry Lane Wilson is ambassador to Mexico Colonel Roosevelt is off in Arizona hunting bob-cats Legal Aid Society of New York Equal pay for women (sound familiar?!) Latest Books The Diversities of Sex
Many articles wonderfully illustrated by famous illustrators of the time
Vintage advertising includes a wonderful full page color ad on the back for Colgate Talc Powder, The Childrens' Vogue and Winchester Guns and Ammunition to name just a few.
This is not the Life magazine of the 50's and 60's with a lot of photographic works. The early Life Magazine was satirical, using cartoons, illustrations and words to parody the times. Mark Twain was a frequent target of the lampooning and the drama critic was known for his dislike of most of the Broadway plays of the day.
This vintage magazine is in very good vintage condition with tight staples and clean pages. A light crease down the center where it has been kept in a pocket or purse. Very minor. No mailing label. This periodical is in amazing condition for being over 100 years old!

HP Photo Paper
HP Photo Paper :
HP Advanced Photo Paper, is a glossy, instant-dry media that offers excellent image quality, durability, and water resistance. Thanks to proprietary instant-dry coating technology, HP Advanced Photo Paper offers excellent smudge resistance. The newest formulation of Advanced Photo Paper offers a number of advancements over the previous HP Photo Paper, from increased display permanence to improved gloss and an enhanced photo feel. At 10.5 mil and 250 g/m2, the new HP Photo Paper is significantly thicker and stiffer than the previous Advanced Photo Paper for a true photo feel. The new photo paper is available in a variety of sizes, including glossy 4x6- and 5x-7-inch-ideal for use with HP compact photo printers.
HP Photo Paper - Instant dry
New HP Advanced Photo Paper offers excellent handling ability, making it easy for customers to share photos almost immediately without concern for smearing or smudging prints. Improvements in HP's newest instant-dry paper result from a number of advancements in paper coating technology. Generally, there are two types of photo paper coating technologies, swellable and nano-porous. Swellable papers, such as HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, provide superb image quality and fade resistance when used with HP dye-based inks.
HP Advanced Photo Paper - Ink capacity
Swellable papers take longer to dry but typically have offered more fade resistance than the majority of "instant dry" nano-porous media. HP Advanced Photo Paper has a proprietary, nano-porous coating that absorbs ink through capillary pressure for rapid ink absorption and instant dry time. The new photo paper has a higher ink absorption rate and higher ink capacity than the previous paper. Since the porous coating is comprised of water insoluble ceramic pigments, it is highly water- and scratch-resistant. Each layer of the paper coating serves a unique function and contributes to the new paper's enhanced features.
HP Photo Paper - Protection layer
The protection layer is the outermost layer and is comprised of ultra-smooth ceramic pigments. These pigments provide a durable barrier of protection to the layers below, imparting excellent scratch and fingerprint resistance. The new Advanced Photo Paper has a thicker protection layer-2.5 times the thickness of the previous paper. The increased thickness creates a smoother surface and allows the new photo paper to deliver superior gloss characteristics. With 5x-7-inch media-compatible compact photo printers (varies by model); also available in 3.5x-5-inch in Japan only.
HP Photo Paper - Imaging layers
Two imaging layers, directly beneath the protection layer, work together to give the new Advanced Photo Paper its enhanced ink absorption capacity. The pigments used in the imaging layers are based on HP proprietary nano-particle
technology. The surface of each nanoparticle is customized to provide optimal compatibility with HP's newest inks. Polyethylene layers: Two polyethylene
layers, one directly above the core paper layer and a second layer directly beneath it encapsulate and protect the photo base paper from water penetration.
HP Advanced Photo Paper - Glossy finish
The thick, top polyethylene layer over the textured photo base gives HP Advanced Photo Paper an extremely smooth, glossy finish. The bottom polyethylene layer prevents edges from curling and keeps the paper flat for reliable printing performance across a range of humidity levels. Core paper layer: The resin-coated photo base, comparable to the base paper used in traditional silver-halide photographs, gives the new HP Advanced Photo Paper the true look of traditional photo papers and, more importantly, an enhanced feel.
HP Photo Paper - Results
The thicker upper and lower polyethylene layers in HP's new Advanced Photo Paper work together to give it a higher gloss level and better uniformity than the previous HP Advanced Photo Paper, as well as most competitive photo papers. The high level of gloss, an attribute that is difficult to attain with nano-porous media, results from a special combination of surfactants and other ingredients used in coating formulation. The thicker, stiffer paper is also more crease-resistant, so corners are less likely to become damaged or bent.
HP Photo Paper - Performance
The new HP Advanced Photo Paper is compatible with any inkjet printer and delivers vivid color photos when used with various ink technologies, including HP's newest dye and pigment ink systems. Like its predecessor, the new HP Advanced Photo Paper incorporates HP's proprietary Auto Sense technology. HP Auto Sense-enabled printers 'read' special Auto Sense marks on the back of HP Advanced Photo Paper and automatically optimize print settings. Auto Sense technology simplifies printing and helps ensure consistent photo quality while helping to prevent wasted paper and ink. New HP Advanced Photo Paper brings exceptional value to home and professional Photo printing with excellent quality and performance at an affordable price. For information on professional printing applications with new HP Advanced Photo Paper, see the technology backgrounder.

The Bar's Pupillage Application Clearing House (Pach) has made it to its second year, but not without some major hiccups.
What should have been a major assistance to chambers and students has instead managed to cause upset to both. Students feel the scheme is devised entirely to assist chambers, while chambers are finding any number of problems operating through Pach.
In hindsight, it was always inevitable that the system would ensure that the best students were at the top of chambers' lists.
As last year illustrated, the majority of first-round offers centred on approximately 20 per cent of applicants. And some chambers ended up receiving more applications under Pach than under the old 'free-for-all' system.
The Bar Council's working party has made a number of alterations to the scheme to improve its operations. The recent changes allowing applicants to apply to 12 chambers as opposed to 20 should save time for individual chambers, but it is unlikely to solve the bottleneck which results when chambers select the same candidates.
However, the fact that most chambers have resolved to stay with the system for another year gives the Bar a chance to get Pach in order.
The working party has already taken some steps to improve the scheme and it will be interesting to see how its computerised preference-matching scheme will work for the next batch of students.
If the system is to work, however, there are still a number of very loose ends to tie up including how Pach is actually perceived by all those who use it.
The working party will obviously have much more work to do if it is to ensure the survival of the first real system to assist chambers on this front. Chambers, too, have a responsibility to contribute positively to the initiative.


text: This interactive experience hails from the makers of Indigo Prophecy, so we're not surprised at how great the story was. What was surprising however, were the graphical details in the world. Facial expressions, environments, textures, and of course the rain, were nothing short of stunning. The storyline has several endings too, but as good as it was, it's really hard to ignore how pretty the game is.

Welcome to Holland College!
Welcome to Holland College for Interchange 2014. This year's theme is Transitions. As professionals, we are well aware of the challenges young people face as they move from the comfortable confines of their high school to the sometimes intimidating post-secondary environment. At this conference, we will investigate how we can make that transition as close to seamless as possible.
A young person's time in college or university is a time of incredible growth, but it can also be one of stress, be it financial, social, or academic. By identifying stressors and streamlining processes in order to minimize a student's anxiety, we can provide an environment that enables them to thrive and flourish.
Together we will discuss some of the challenges students face and those that we, as professionals, encounter. We will investigate best practices, and hear about interesting and innovative strategies that our colleagues from across the region have developed. By the end of our time together, you should feel rejuvenated, enthusiastic, and, if we can live up to our reputation for fun, a little bit exhausted!
I look forward to seeing you at the conference!
Donna Sutton
Registrar, Holland College

Date of Stay: September, 2014
Cash only. Park is very well maintained. Rural Location is just 3 miles to Downtown Astoria or Warrenton so it's excellent for trips to visit all attractions and shopping in the area. Located east of the airport so a few planes do occasionally go over but mostly just small private and Coast Guard flights during the day.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
We stayed a week and though a lot of rain and wind (oh yeah) it was comfortable. The lower parking has pull-thrus but The TV for a 40' towable will likely park in separate spots by the bathrooms. As HDTers, we decided to use a back-in on the upper level and that is also a better ocean view. All sites are level concrete parking pads with grass "yards". Great Wifi, Only three 50 amp sites (down in 1st 3 pull thrus). Operations are pretty "laid back" but readily accommodating.
Date of Stay: April, 2014
5 miles east of Crescent City up US 199 but worth the trip compared to anything else around there. As HDTers it is hard finding RV parks on the west coast that can comfortably accommodate us without parking the HDT off-site. Well maintained Escapees 15% discount park with large green belts adjacent to most sites. Killer Wifi. Best choice for HDTers in Crescent City area. 5 miles up 199 in the Jedediah Smith Redwoods National/State park. Well managed, maintained, Escapees discount park. 15% only. HDTers could fit into many of the sites but their location of street side utilities makes you have to squeeze between those and the concrete patio slab. Many of these utilities are protected with old concrete highway dividers so some slideouts that are closer to the ground might not open all the way so check your fit before blindly opening them. Very pleasant park to be in.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Clean, mixed roads of gravel and asphalt. Most of campground is down in a ravine, but big pull throughs are the weekly sites opposite the pool closer to North Carolina 150 Highway. Road noise was mostly okay except when loud motorcycles or hot cars came by (this is NASCAR country). We are HDTers and our 67' rig fit, but we had to unhitch and park the HDT next to the trailer. Site was wide enough so this was no problem. Operators are very nice and they seem to have a lot of family activities. This campground is located in Sherrills Ford, but the mailing address is Denver, NC. Easy trip over to Mooresville, NC then up or down I-77 to get to Charlotte or Statesville, respectively. Daily rate is based on weekly rate. I would stay here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
We are HDTers. Rate is Escapees member rate. Wi-fi is pay. Some sites we could fit into, but not many without unhooking. Most sites are not really level, but did OK for the night. Very pleasant folks at the desk.
Date of Stay: July, 2013
Another beautiful day in D&W Lake campground in Champaign, IL. Sites are level, owners are in residence, and any problems are dealt with promptly. Rate reflects current weekly rate/day. Nice stocked lake with no license catch and release fishing. Some local OTA TV channels and a less than perfect Wifi performance (aren't they all?) leave one to do a lot of reading and outside stuff. Sprint 3g is good, though, so I can get some internet stuff done, just not super performance. Given the other choices in the area for camping, the weekly rate is not that bad. We are HDTers and this campground is easy to navigate. Sites are quite level and gravel. Grass is kept up, and no patio mats are allowed so the grass is thick right up to the gravel and roads. I-57 is less than 1/2 mile away as the crow flies, but one rarely hears it much unless the breezes are blowing from the east. No trains or planes (except maybe crop dusters and a local farmer's helicopter). Every kind of food, grocery, hardware, and department store chain is just a few miles away on Prospect St in Champaign, and there is an easy back way straight to it all. I rate this a 9 only because of the less than perfect Wifi. The rest is totally top drawer.
Date of Stay: January, 2012
Price is day/month. We are HDTers and are 67' overall but can fit in almost every site (most are roomy pull-throughs). We have been here 5 months and love it. No cable but 22 local digital channels are strong. Many sites may need a tripod dish to access satellites. Strong Wi-fi in all sites but poor Internet speeds 24/7. Sprint 4g Wimaxx OK in east end. Verizon LTE - GREAT!<= 30mbps. Convenient to all shopping needs. Beaches are 7 miles east. Park is consistently well maintained.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Rate shown is based on the monthly rate. We stayed here in a 5th wheel and are HDTers. Wi-Fi is very strong everywhere but TengoInternet delivery is throttled at 750kbps max. Also, delivery is not smooth and any sort of streaming from downloads to pictures stutters a lot. The roads are level as are most of the sites and both are packed gravel and sand and are kept up nicely. Main roads are paved. Nice for walks and we have not experienced any mosquitoes in the week we have been here... but gnats are everywhere. Spaces are large pull-throughs for all but the perimeter sites. We are 65' overall and fit OK. Villano beaches are only about 7 miles away and St Augustine old town is even closer. Jacksonville is about 25 minutes north on I-95. Quite quiet for being only a few blocks from I-95. Outside one can hear a little traffic in the distance. Inside, all is quiet. We would stay here again for overnight and/or monthly. Two huge outlet malls are only a few blocks away along with a Camping World store, Cracker Barrel, IHOP and a lot of other pleasure palaces.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
We are HDT'ers and though this park is easy to get into and around in, there was only a couple of full hookup sites that we could get into. #24 fit us but had no patio area and was directly above the loud pumping station. Digital TV was OK on 4 stations but no ABC. Gorgeous park but laid out 40 years ago by a non-camping superintendent so it is a nice fit for Pop-ups most everywhere. Site 24 was the only one that we could fit the whole rig and Towd onto. Almost all sites have leveling issues, so take lots of leveling blocks. Hwy WV 20 is kind of tight in a few places and very curvy (from either direction) but approaching from the west is a little better I am told. It was helpful to have a pilot car out ahead of the rig coming up here.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
The park is excellent as is the staff. The 4 mile road to it, however, is a sidewalk with a double yellow line so medium to big rigs could use a pilot car because you can't stay on your side of the road and keep your rig out of the ditches. The Lakes are small but very pleasing to see. FIshing is good but catch/release. Wifi, though mentioned, is only available near the office. Though there is no cable, digital over the air reception gets about 8 channels. Most sites are smaller, but spaced ok. Most big pull throughs can handle any sized rig and are 50/30amp, but dont have sewer. We are HDTers and 65' x 13' 4" when travelling. Quiet, peaceful setting and though there are a lot of rigs in place full time, they are not occupied all the time. Great Place except for bad WV roads.
Date of Stay: October, 2010
We stayed here for 7 nights at the Coast to Coast member's rate. All sites are concrete drives and table pads with most of the sand covered with centipede grass except for the premium sites along the dunes. We stayed in site #219. As HDTers we had no problem backing in as there are no pull-through sites. The longest sites are along the north side of the park. WiFi was strong but would drop intermittently during weekdays. Great sunsets each night on the Pamlico Sound side of the park. The park covers from ocean to sound across the highway. Outdoor pool was closed but indoor pool was open as was the hot tub. Nice place for families with good playground equipment, tennis courts, mini golf and shuffleboard courts. Definitely coming back.
Date of Stay: November, 2009
Level clean park. Packed gravel roads and most sites. Overshadowed by big oak trees (thus the name) but no low branches in the park. Some park models available. A destination park for members of their club. Though there is a Good Sam's logo on the building and a Resort Parks International (RPI) sign on the building, they give a 10% discount for most clubs. The $19 rate is reserved for Passport America, Thousand Trails and their own private club members. Cable is $2.50 and Tengo Net Wi-Fi is $4.50 but seems to have a strong signal. The KOA at this exit is just behind this campground on another road. Some highway noise but I have had worse. Most sites are bigger pull-throughs but many have the sewer connection at the rear making for a long hose run if you have a mid-rig sewer fitting. The price and location make this a definite place for us to use in the future.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
I am generally not a raving fan of KOA camping, mostly due to price but I have to say that the Wilmington KOA really is something a cut above. There are a lot of big rig suitable sites with easy ingress/egress. 50 amp full hookup sites just about everywhere, a 3 pen off leash pet exercise area and plenty of places for kids to play. The sites are all packed and level beach sand/gravel and our semi tow vehicle and 40' 5th wheel fit nicely with room for the Smart car without anything hanging out or sitting on the grass. Its surprisingly quiet with no nearby railroad tracks, Interstates or airports to rattle us. Their site has a decent promo video which gives a good perspective of the available amenities. The staff has been mostly college kids with a few workamping older folks like us, thrown into the mix. We reserved a Lodge (not a cabin with no bathroom) for visiting friends. Its a short Park model with a log cabin motif inside but complete with a queen bed, bunk beds and everything but linens. They are loving it! Talk about convenience, there is a Hess gas station at the entrance which, at the moment has the lowest fuel prices that I can find in this whole area. On the opposite side of the KOA driveway is a big vehicle pull through car wash with lots of bays tall enough to handle any sized RV. That's just too darned convenient! Its only about 5 miles to Wrightsville Beach to the south and a good bit farther to Carolina Beach but the roads area good and wide and generally fast. As I said, I am not a big fan of KOAs and have stayed in a few that were not acceptable but this one is something special and is well managed and cared for. Its certainly better than many of the Coast to Coast Deluxe resort properties we have stayed in. We will definitely come back here.

We've got your weekend: Double trouble that'll quadruple the fun
Thursday, September 8/Cleaver and Co. (3917 Baronne St.): Start your weekend out with a sizzle. Of grease. And fries. This Thursday, Cleaver and Co. will be serving French Fries topped with house made meats, sauces and tons of cheese. The format for this pop up will be a little different. Instead of salad, small plates and not so small plates, they are going to be offering four different topping combinations and a dessert sweet potato fry. Type of fry is still to be determined. You can check out the pop-up from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.
Friday, September 9/Broad Theater (636 Broad St.) and Orpheum Theater (129 Roosevelt Way): And now begins the double trouble weekend. To begin, start off at the Broad Theater with the film Kate Plays Christine. The documentary filmmaker, Robert Greene, films an actress preparing for the roll of Christine Chubbuck, a real-life news reporter who committed suicide on national television. The screening, which is also followed with a live Q and A with the filmmaker begins at 7:00 p.m., which then leaves you with plenty of time to head over to the Orpheum Theater to check out Kraftwerk 3-D Concert. This event really needs no introduction because if you know Kraftwerk then you know that you want to see their music and their work in 3-D. The concert doors open at 7:00 p.m., but we have faith you can make it! You can make it even faster by buying your tickets here.
Saturday, September 10/Broad Theater (636 Broad St.) and One Eyed Jacks (615 Toulouse): We are stacking on top of the stacks with this one because Saturday offers and entire day full of films. The True Orleans Film Festival, which begins with Robert Greene's film Kate Plays Christine, will be screening four films plus a panel focusing on the criminal justice system when it comes to kids. You will want to check the website for a full list of films, but know that the day will range from psychogeographical documentaries to documentaries exploring the current state of American policing.
After sitting, eating concessions, and thinking in new ways, you can then head over to One Eyed Jacks for some Ladies Arm Wrestling. This is the third national brawl of CLAW (Collective Of Lady Armwrestlers). This Super CLAW will feature participants from sister leagues all over the country plus New Orleans' very own home-town heroine. Prepare for arm wrestlers battling for the heart of a nation. There will also be half time drag performaances by Liberaunchy and Kat $snatch with a DJ Dreamer dance party to follow the ruckus. Proceeds will benefit Project Ishmael, and you can find out more about the event, which begins at 8:00 p.m., here.
Sunday, September 11/ Longue Vue House and Gardens (7 Bamboo Road) and Broad Theater (636 Broad St.): Wake up early and stretch in the morning sunlight among the beautiful Longue Vue gardens on Sunday. This is their annual Barre3 in the Park class. Registration starts at 8:15 a.m. and class begins at 9:00 a.m. with Barre3 Owner, Kendall Carriere. Class is free, but they are asking for a donation of $5 to Longue Vue Gardens.
Once you are sufficiently toned and stretched, head back over to the Broad Theater for the final day of True Orleans Film Fest. This final Sunday includes documentaries about all kinds of topics, and we really want to highlight the film Kedi. It's a documentary about cats, and not just any cats, but cats that live in Turkey and are seen as part of the community. The films are spread through the day, so make sure to check out the website for full details. And because we just can't help ourselves, here is a trailer to Kedi:

Cutlass bearing
This may be a silly question but I''ll ask anyway. I''m going to replace the cutlass bearing on my C&C 30 - it has a tiny bit of movement, rather than wait another year and hope there is no problem, I figured I replace it. But for the life of me I can''t figure out where or how to get a new one. It seems that it is nothing more than a rubber insert. I see lots of discussions on how to remove/install. But I have yet to figure out where to get one.
I suppose I could just ask someone at the yard... but that would be too easy.
Thanks in advance,
Cutlass bearing
You need to know the size of your existing bearing (Outside diameter, length and shaft size). And then most good chandleries can get you one or get it off the web.
I just saw them in the 2002 Westmarine catalog page 357.
Or you could order direct from one of the many manufacturers like PYI

See if you have a local prop shop around and have them press a new bearing in for you.

Murray hints at gentler approach with new coach Mauresmo
By Martyn Herman
LONDON (Reuters) - Brad Gilbert was hired to turn a fledgling Andy Murray into a physical powerhouse, while the Scot turned to Ivan Lendl for some of the ruthless streak that made the Czech-born American a multiple grand slam champion.
At different stages of his career both worked wonders for Murray as he broke into the upper echelons of men's tennis and then, after some close shaves, delivered two grand slam titles and an Olympic gold.
While those two appointments appeared self-explanatory, his choice of former Wimbledon women's singles champion Amelie Mauresmo, as his new coach, is an intriguing one and it dominated the chat on Monday as the grasscourt season moved into full swing.
"She was a great player, a thinker, and I'm sure any path Andy wants to take she can help him along," former grand slam champion Mats Wilander said at Queen's Club.
Murray, too, is a deep-thinker about his tennis, a player who has never been afraid to do things his own way.
While the carrot and stick approach employed by Gilbert, the man who wrote a book called 'Winning Ugly', and Lendl's straight talking helped the 27-year-old Scot take huge strides, it appears he has now reached that stage in his career when he wants a gentler presence in his corner.
"I have started to listen to my body a lot more because, over the years, you start to pick up some things," defending Wimbledon champion Murray, who had back surgery last year, told the BBC when the questions inevitably turned to his new coach.
"I think it's important that the people you work with respect and understand and listen, you know, to how you're feeling, as well, because you can't just be pushed extremely hard every single day. Continued...

The RiverTalker, An Old Oak of a Man
Here lie the bones of the RiverTalker,
An old oak of a man, he was,
He would write old tales,
some whoppers, some whales,
The reason? Well - just because!
He penned his words in misty air,
To give them that feel of the moor,
He wrote mysteries so fine,
and poems divine,
Of the nature of souls that are poor.
He kept writing of crimes, all the days of his life,
Until that day when he finally died,
With his keyboard afire,
On his funeral pyre,
And all of Protagonize cried.

2010 Enbridge Oil Spill: No Long Term Health Effects
State health officials say there is no long term harm to people who may have come in contact with chemicals in surface water during recreational activities, such as wading, swimming, or canoeing along the stretch of the Kalamazoo River impacted by the July 2010 oil spill in Calhoun and Kalamazoo counties.
However, the Michigan Department of Community Health says the final public health assessment found that contact with oil sheen and globules in the river may cause temporary effects, such as skin irritation. The ban against recreational use of the river in those areas where the water was tainted by spilled oil was lifted in June of 2012.
The study tested water safety following the devastating spill when Canadian pipeline company Enbridge leaked a million gallons of crude oil into Talmadge Creek and the Kalamazoo River. Fish from the Kalamazoo River and Morrow Lake were tested for oil-related chemicals, as well as chemicals that were previously found in fish there.
Fish from areas impacted by the oil spill, including Ceresco Impoundment and Morrow Lake, had similar levels of oil-related chemicals as fish caught in Marshall Pond, upstream of the spill.
All oil-related chemical levels were very low. Mercury and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) levels were similar to levels measured in fish caught before the oil spill. Guidelines for eating fish from these areas, issued by the department before the oil spill, remain in place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KCinLG from Stylish with comfort.... Although my wardrobe consists of 95% J Crew items, I always get a little sketchy about buying shoes b/c in my experience they're always inconsistent with sizing. These pumps though are fabulous. The sizing is PERFECT, and the color is different. It's not a gray which I thought it was, but sorta like a blue gray, like a slate. Wore it today for the first time and I was thinking it may need time to break in, but no. These pumps have been comfy all day long. I may just have to get the black and burgundy ones too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Katie from Favorite shoes!! Theses shoes are FANTASTIC! They're extremely comfortable and run true to size - for size ref, I'm a 6 in steve madden and a 6 in these. I wear these to work and even after a long, crazy day my feet aren't uncomfortable. They're the perfect height I can wear them to work and out on the town. They are worth the investment, you won't be sorry! Please make in more colors and fabrics!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by HeatherAnn from GREAT PUMP! I love the FACTORY SUEDE OLIVE PUMPS. I ordered these in the burgundy color for the Autumn/Winter seasons and they are the perfect accent shoe for any outfit. My only "negative" feedback would be that the image makes the pump appear to be more pointed in the toe but it's round, and I do prefer my pumps pointed. Other than that, they are beautiful and I'm happy to have added them to my shoe collection!
Date published: 2015-11-13
Rated 5 out of 5 by Fessy from Thick Heels! I have been searching for thick heeled pumps for a while now. These are just perfect! They are very comfortable and stylish. They did run a bit small so I had to order a half-size up.

Shrimp balls!
Many of you who have attended my presentations already know that I feed my shrimp tanks quite sparingly. I generally feed 1-2 times a week, and then a very small quantity. Overfeeding is a major issue in shrimp tanks, as the tanks are generally smaller in volume, and fluctuations of parameters are more common with less dilution. Since shrimp are intolerant of these fluctuations, care should be taken to keep the tank parameters as stable as possible. The easiest way to do this is to make sure the tank is well established, and to do preventative regular maintenance of small frequent water changes. Overfeeding can also lead to secondary pests like Planaria or Hydra, as well as booming populations of pest snails. You can usually tell when shrimp are truly hungry, as they swarm about the tank, rather than grazing peacefully. If they are picking at plants, decor, and the substrate, they are generally content and dont require supplementation. With this being said, they sure do appreciate it when you do offer them delicious little morsels. While feeding today, I took the opportunity to snap a few shots in a couple of my shrimp specific tanks.
Beautiful shrimps stock!
I feed my shrimps maybe 3 times a week. But I never know when they're really hungry or not. Thanks for the tip!
Very nice Rachel. I pop personally feed every other day. I change it up though using organic spinach one day and prepared two days after. For my prepared food I have been using a bunch of different ones, I have Borneo wild, lowkeys, Mk breeds and a few others. Currently for my caridina shrimp I use the lowkeys. It is nice because it breaks down into smaller pieces. You are completely correct in saying it is much harder to pollute a tank. To deal with food pollution I use a polyurethane feeding dish in each tank. I leave the food for 24,hours then remove.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
an import thing to consider as well, is that most of my tanks have been running for near 10 years, so they are well mature.
Very interesting.
I think I am going to dial back my feedings a bit. Do you notice a decline in reproduction when feeding sparingly? Or, do you feed more when trying to get them to reproduce?
On another note, your orange rilis look awesome and I need them. Been waiting on the Amanos to arrive so I can place an order.
Thanks in advance,
The amanos haven't been available because of heavy rains, trust me, I have been trying to get them as well. I am told 2-3 weeks longer. I generally try and keep several hundred in stock at all times and am down to just a handful that are my personal workers.
Are those shrimp in the 2nd picture the "black & white bees" for sale on your site?
Yup! I am not shipping until after I get back from the OCA extravaganza, though. I am vending otu of my room and taking pre-orders for delivery next weekend.
Amazing shots!
Great pictures!
Those orange rillis are a killer. Never was a big fan of the Rilli patterns but the orange is so awesome looking.
Wow! What gorgeous shrimp!
sexy, right????
What are you feeding them???
Those are awesome shots! What is that black shrimp in photo #5?

Bacs is responsible for clearing electronic payments between Britain's High Street banks and is the largest such organisation in Europe. More than 90% of salaries and pensions are paid using its computer systems.
After a recent reorganisation, it has been looking at expanding its commercial operations across the Continent.
But chief executive Marion King has warned that it faces the threat of legislation from Brussels to impose a single electronic payments system.
King said: 'The drive for a single infrastructure appears logical but does not stand up to scrutiny. The European Central Bank wants this and there is the threat of EU legislation.'
There are 15 clearing systems in Europe, each performing a similar role to Bacs.
European bankers have already set up a system called Step2 handling electronic credits between euro-currency countries.
While it is still a tiny business, it is expected to grow rapidly now that the single currency is in place. Step2 could eventually be adopted as the domestic system-in the eurozone. Until December, Bacs was a nonprofit organisation, but it separated its operational business as Bacs Ltd, owned by Britain's 12 biggest banks and building societies.
King, appointed in 2002 to see through the changes, has been charged with expanding into other European markets.
She said she was in talks with banks in at least three other countries about providing clearing services.
Payments by direct debit and standing order have surged in the UK in recent years. In 2003, £2,500 billion was transferred through Bacs. Growth is also expected from the Government's drive to pay tax credits and benefits directly into people's bank accounts.

If you shoot questionable surplus ammo, or known corrosive stuff, it will be the difference between having rifling and a smoothbore. Wolf and Silver Bear should be fine, but I wouldn't get any Indian/Paki, etc., surplus- unless you plan on getting "old-school".
Bottom line: whatever you shoot, clean after each session. Non-chlorinated/non-acetone based solvents are best. Clean-till-white (patch), and follow-up again in the next day or two. That is getting a bit overly religious, but if you want to keep it nice, for "down the road"..... Use a decent cleaning rod (carbon fiber is best-only Tipton offers this right now AFIK, but Otis and Dewey both offer excellent products as well).

Hello there, my dearest reader, welcome to my blog.
In 1990, in a small country called Belgium, I was born on the 7th of July. I grew up as a happy and creative child. The time my sister spent on reading books - and trust me, that was a lot - I spent on crafting and colouring, always busy on my own in my little chamber. Growing older, I unfortunately didn't had the time to further develop my creative mind.
Now, 23 years of age, I get that creative feeling again. There's something wandering around in my mind that wants to get out. I'm sure this blog will help me to get those wandering thoughts out of my head.
When I was 15, I became passionate about food. At this moment, as a graduate Dietician and Industrial Engineer in Food Science and a second Master's degree in Agriculture (horticulture to be exact), I'm working as an interim in an organic supermarkt. And I love it!
And then there is also my big love for England, nuts, tomatoes, avocados, peanut butter, music and colours.
If you want to know more about me, you can read my '30 random facts about me'.
Lots of love,

Tom's extensive passion for marine fisheries began in the waves off the coast of Southern California. As a surfer, Tom's passion for the ocean developed at an early age. He spent countless hours contemplating the beauty and complexity of the ocean while waiting to catch the next wave. Tom also grew-up an avid fisherman, targeting mostly largemouth bass from freshwater lakes and occasionally catching tuna on saltwater trips.
When it came time to choose his career path, Tom decided to turn his passions into a career. He attended Humboldt State University, the only school in California to offer a degree program in marine fisheries. While there, he spent his free days honing his fishing skills in search of steelhead and salmon and spearfishing for ling cod. By night, he worked as a fishery biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to monitor the Indian gill-net fishery on the Klamath River.
Tom then moved to Florida and began working as a biologist for the University of Florida where he focused on manipulating artificial reef structures to enhance productivity and maximize their ecological benefits. He also earned his Master's degree in fisheries and aquatic sciences, while continuing his work with Gulf species including stone crabs, sea bass and triggerfish.

Upon his return to Florida, Tom discovered that some very basic information about primary production (the bottom of the food chain) was lacking for large parts of the Gulf region. In an effort to better understand the drivers of primary production and a healthy ocean ecosystem, he designed and implemented a water quality sampling program along the central Gulf coast of peninsular Florida.
Over the years, Tom researched and worked his way to the top of the food chain at the University of Florida's School of Natural Resources and Environment where he currently serves as Director. His recent research activities are focused on coral reef ecosystems. He has spent the last several years working specifically with invasive lionfish in an effort to provide information that will help limit impacts on key fishery species and other living marine resources.
Dr. Frazer answered some questions to give us insight into his perspective as the newest manager of our Gulf fishery:
|Photo Credit: Florida Sea Grant
What motivates you to serve on the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council?"I'm incredibly excited to serve on the Council and hope to play a key role in ensuring that knowledge generated as part of the scientific process is effectively translated into reasonable and logical management measures that ensure the health of the ecosystem and sustain our fishing communities."
What is the most important issue in the fishery today?"One of the biggest issues we're facing at the moment is uncertainty in fisheries data and how it's dealt with. If we can find ways to reduce uncertainty in our fisheries independent data as well as our harvest data, then we can manage fishery resources in the Gulf with more confidence.
Another issue we face is a decline in fishing opportunities. I would like to explore novel solutions that maximize access to the resource without compromising sustainability. I think that we are all in this for the long haul."
Can you share a favorite fishing moment with us?"Well….I've fallen off a boat more than a few times in my life, but only intentionally followed a rod into the water once and ONLY to learn that a large shark was attached to the business end of the gear. Probably shouldn't have done that, but I still have the rod!"

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Origins Available: English, Scottish
Scotland, Ollivier was a Strathclyde-Briton name for someone who lived in Roxburgh. While most of the name likely derive from the Old French Oivier, it is supposed that some of the Scottish instances of this name derive from the Old Norse name Oleifr
Ollivier Early Origins
Roxburghshire, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the census rolls taken by the ancient Kings of Scotland to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
Ollivier Spelling Variations
Ollivier Spelling Variations
Prior to the first dictionaries, scribes spelled words according to sound. This, and the fact that Scottish names were repeatedly translated from Gaelic to English and back, contributed to the enormous number of spelling variations in Scottish names. Ollivier has been spelled Oliver, Olivier, Ollivier, Olliver and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In such difficult times, the difficulties of raising the money to cross the Atlantic to North America did not seem so large compared to the problems of keeping a family together in Scotland. It was a journey well worth the cost, since it was rewarded with land and freedom the Scots could not find at home. The American War of Independence solidified that freedom, and many of those settlers went on to play important parts in the forging of a great nation. Among them:

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Ad foedera cresco
Motto Translation: I gain by treaty

Chapter 36 (Casady)Mature
At Vinnia's words, Casady knew that what he was about to hear would change the course of his entire future. Leaning forward, he listened to Vinnia's next statement.
"I need your help."
The statement was a bit of a letdown; Casady had been hoping for something far more cataclysmic.
"What are you thinking?" Rune asked slowly. Casady recognized the hesitance in his roommate's voice.
Vinnia looked down at her coffee and didn't speak for a moment. Trace's arm grew just a bit tighter around her, and she took a deep breath. "I've been watching the three of you. You're different in a way that could actually mean something. You could make a difference."
"Yeah, we know that," Morgance muttered. Vinnia shot her a silencing look.
"What exactly do you expect us to do?" Casady asked, keeping his voice as even as possible. He didn't want to betray his excitement and end up looking like an overzealous idiot.
"I don't expect you to do anything. In fact, I don't want you to walk into anything without knowing what could happen if you do." Vinnia reached across and tapped the table space in front of Morgance. "Listen up, Tiger."
Pulling a hideous face, Morgance "listened up."
Ever the cautious one, Rune raised his eyebrows and scooted a little closer to the table. "What could happen if we decided to...well, to do whatever you're about to tell us?"
"They could ruin your life."
Chuckling nervously, Casady leaned back in his seat. "That's a little dramatic, don''t you think?"
Trace glanced over at Vinnia, whose grip on her mug had grown tighter. Finally, Trace said quietly, "I don't think that's dramatic at all. I think it's completely true."
"Why?" Morgance's put-out voice rang out. "Have they ruined your life, Lover Boy?"
Jaw set with frustration, Trace said nothing.
Morgance continued. "I don't care what the cause is; I'm not going to Sing. Nothing you say can convince me! I'm tired of people using me to get what they want. This time, I'm going to think for myself. I'm not going to let people take advantage of me ever again."
Vinnia's head shot up. "What do you mean, 'ever again'? Have people taken advantage of you before?"
Silenced completely, Morgance thought that one over while Vinnia spoke. "If you're not in it for the long haul, then you've no business hearing what I have to tell you." Vinnia gave a long, pointed look at Morgance. "Maybe you're not made of different stuff than Lisha and Oliver."
Sitting up rigidly, Morgance exclaimed, "Now, that's not fair!"
"Isn't it?" Casady butted in. "That's who you're acting like, Morgance. What is it going to take to make you realize that, contrary to popular belief, this world doesn't revolve around you?"
"Okay, that's taking it a little far," Rune started, but Trace interrupted him.
"No, that's not taking it a little far, Rune. I know you don't want to see Morgance insulted, but the truth of the matter is, sometimes insult is required to make someone come to."
Morgance shot up from the table. "Do you want to know what I'm sick and tired of? I'm sick and tired of people using my voice - which none of you have even heard, by the way - for their own purposes! I don't care who I'm damaging by not Singing - I'm not going to change my mind!"
With that, Morgance whirled from the room.

He issued a plea for greater action, saying the planet faces a "sixth great extinction event" unless the loss of land and increasing pollution is halted.
The Prince used his appointment as president of environment charity WWF-UK to declare: "Its ultimate impact is plainly not at all clear to most people - without the biodiversity that is so threatened, we won't be able to survive ourselves."
Charles, who today succeeded his cousin Princess Alexandra as president, suggested it might take a "cause célèbre" akin to the survival of the panda or banning of DDT pesticides to "make humanity really see the extent of our predicament".
Bemoaning the loss of "our personal sense of connection to the natural world", he said: "Every year, for instance, we seem to come ever closer to the terrifying prospect of an ice-free Arctic Ocean, the loss of sea ice on the top of the world.
As we view the world from space, just think what we might see all too soon - nothing but dark oceans rather than white at the top. Would this make us all think more profoundly about what we are doing to our world?"
He added: "What I am alluding to is our spiritual connection to the natural world because, without it, life would surely be pointless.
"It may not seem to make much difference economically if the swallows, swifts and house martins no longer turn up each spring, but what would life be like if we just accepted their extinction?"
Joking that he had backed the 50-year-old WWF-UK since childhood because it "stood up for endangered species" like himself, he said he had been "harping on" about sustainability for years.
But he withstood the "brickbats" and criticism "because the issues we face are so important". He added: "None of us must be afraid to stand up and be counted."Reuse content

Chapter 9
We wiped their memories. Corsel said it wasn't time for everyone to know who I was, not yet. We fed them a mixture of herbs that put them to sleep immediately. I used my powers to transport them all downstairs to their bunks, and when they awoke they did not remember anything from the time they got on the boat to when they woke.
By then we were in port and they exited the boat, but not before applauding the confounded capitain on his exemplary sailing.
I was overjoyed when I woke up from fainting to find Miki licking my nose. I was relieved that he was okay from the perilious journey.
Corsel retreived our bags from the storage area and we departed, Miki at my heels.
This new world was amazing. The buildings were puncturing the sky, the streets made of some black material instead of dirt. The people dressed funny to me, but from the way they looked at me I knew they thought I looked funny also. There were men and women on bicycles and motorized scooters riding in the street, squeezing in between the walkers. I saw large, shiny cars in the distance, zooming on another black road.
"Where are we going?" I asked Corsel, who was steadily walking with two bags in each hand. I felt bad, my one bag filling up my arms.
"I already have a ride prepared for us," he said and nodded. I looked in that direction to see a sturdy yellow car parked in the street, a man standing outside with a piece of paper in his hand that said Corsel Amontiallo.
"Is that man waiting for us?" I asked. He kept a straight face when he nodded, but I saw the smile in his eyes. I scoffed in disbelief.
When we came to the car I reached out and touched the gleaming paint. It was smooth under my fingers and the sun bounced off the polish and reflected into the eyes. I looked away to see the man with the paper staring at me, his eyebrows arched and mouth in a frown. I quickly retracted my hand and took a step back. Corsel opened the door and slid in, then took my bag and placed it next to him. I was about to follow him when I heard "Hey you, wait!". Recognizing the voice I turned around and glared. The boy who was on the boat was running across the street, his hand out and waving to me.
When he reached the car he was taking deep breaths and his face was flushed, but he smiled at me. "Wow, you're pretty hard to track down." I didn't know what to say.
"Oh, okay," I replied, but it sounded more like a question. He smiled again and stood up straight, no longer taking ragged breaths.
"Listen," he started, leaning closer. I leaned away. "Could I talk to you for a minute?" I stared at his face for a moment, which wasn't so red anymore, then ducked in the car.
"A minute, Corsel?" He looked up from petting Miki, who was on his lap, glanced from me to the boy, and frowned, but nodded slowly. I closed the door behind me and walked around the car to the lighter colored sidewalk as another shining car whizzed past.
"So, what's your name?" The boy asked with an impish smile. I took a deep breath. Though I appreciated what he had done on the boat, I could have handled it myself. I know I could have if he hadn't gotten in the way.
"My name is Aellae and if this is only small talk I really have much more to do. So if you don't mind..." I ended the conversation and headed back to the car. But he caught my forearm and stopped me, saying "Hold on!" I heard the handle to the car click and Corsel started emerging from the car with a flaming expression.
"I can handle it!" I said angrily, and he melted into the car, his face still furious. I didn't mean to yell at him, but he needed to let me take care of this by myself. Noticing my arm was still being held I whipped it out of his grip and glared at him.
He looked slightly surprised by my strength, but he kept it secret.
"Please, just a minute. Walk with me."
