Presently the fellow arrived, and, at a word from the herdsman, said: "Nawab Darna Singh sends salaams to the keddah sahib."
Is the family of Toomai of the Elephants to be trodden underfoot in the dirt of a keddah?
Placed on the path, if Moti stepped on one she would probably come in to the keddah to have her foot dressed.
What taught her that she'd be safe with her calf in the keddah I don't know; where she came from I don't know.
They saw the keddah sahib towering above the fighting mob, his spread arms raised as if exhorting them to desist from strife.
Each one understood the debasing retribution the keddah sahib had meted out to his foul-fighting opponent.
Ten years afterward the old keeper of the elephant found him in a keddah, and he instantly submitted himself to him.
They knew nothing of its whereabouts; all denied that they had seen the keddah sahib put it in the box.
The natives of keddah say that this insect appears at intervals of two, three, or more years.
Swinton was glad when he saw his dogcart turn into the compound to take him to the keddah sahib's for tiffin.

MONTREAL (Nov. 23)
The number of Jewish juvenile delinquents convicted of all offenses in Canada has increased from 35 in 1950 to 89 in 1962, according to the results of a study made public here today. The total number of juvenile delinquents in Canada convicted of all offenses rose from 6,418 in 1950 to 16,608 in 1962.
The study was conducted by Louis Rosenberg, research director of the Canadian Jewish Congress. The percentage of Jewish juvenile delinquents among total juvenile delinquents convicted in Canada was two percent in 1931. Jewish children below the age of 16 in Canada famed 2. 6 percent of all children within that age group. In 1941, the percentage of Jewish children among convicted juvenile delinquents in Canada was half of one percent, while the percentage of Jewish children among all children of that age group in Canada was 2. 2 percent.

UPDATE: Looks like third times a charm for Austin! He passed his test and tweeted a photo of himself on a car saying "STREET LEGAL!"
Sorry Mahomies, it looks like your favorite guy Austin Mahone failed his driving test, twice! He may be one skilled singer, but we guess he's not so skilled when it comes to driving. One of the best parts about getting older is getting to drive.
So it's a bummer to hear that Austin wasn't able to pass his test! That parallel parking is hard stuff. We will admit it is a stressful test, but what happened to make him fail twice in a row? Austin only gave his followers a little bit of information on what went down in a series of tweets posted earlier today.
At the beginning of the day Austin posted an excited tweet before taking the test.
Taking my drivers test today!! wish me luck
But shortly after that tweet was followed up by a sad one.
I failed…
Austin then posted a follow-up tweet that said, "She told me to stop singing in the car." We're guessing the instructor was not a Mahomie. Who would tell him to stop singing, ever? There was hope though because Austin then tweeted saying he was allowed to take the test again.
I got to take it again!
— Austin Mahone (@AustinMahone) September 4, 2013
Unfortunately, he was not lucky the second time around and posted another tweet saying he had failed again.
Failed again…….
Who knew you could even take the test twice in one day? Poor Austin! After winning the "Artist to Watch" Award at the MTV Video Music Awards and being signed to Cash Money Records, it looked like he was having the best few weeks of his life! Check out this video of Big Time Rush's Kendall Schmidt fangirling over Austin at the VMAs!
It looks like things are looking up for Austin though, he just tweeted that he's practicing his driving skills tonight for tomorrow.
I'm gonna go practice my driving in a parking lot so I can not suck tomorrow..
— Austin Mahone (@AustinMahone) September 4, 2013
Does that mean he's taking his test again tomorrow? Well maybe third time's a charm for Austin, right?
Want to wish Austin good luck? Leave him some words of encouragement in the comments below!
Watch: We Spent the Day with Austin!

Tiger Woods feels putter coming around for PGA Championship
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Tiger Woods said he's had a pretty good 2012. He has four days to make it a great one.
The only three-time winner on the PGA Tour this year has put together his best stretch of fine play since his downfall began when he drove over a fire hydrant in November 2009. But no year is complete — or great — to Woods without winning a major championship, the way he has viewed his career since turning pro in 1996 and targeting Jack Nicklaus and his record 18 major titles.
"You can go from having a so-so year to all of a sudden winning one major. And all of a sudden it's a great year because you're part of history when you do something like that," Woods said.
The 94th edition of the PGA Championship, which begins Thursday at the soggy Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, is Woods' last shot for that this season. The four-time PGA Championship winner (last in 2007) has been stuck on 14 major titles since winning the 2008 U.S. Open on a broken leg, a 50-month span that is his longest drought in the game's four biggest tournaments.
Despite that, Woods has risen to No.2 in the world and can reclaim the top spot with a win this week.
"When you're talking of Tiger, it doesn't matter where you go, you think he's a factor starting the week," Adam Scott said.
Woods left last week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational trending upward following a 68-66 weekend that led to a tie for eighth and a better feeling about his putter.
"I'm just trying to keep building toward a major and hopefully it peaks at the right time," Woods said. "I've come close a couple times this year. It's all about having things come together at the right time. We're trying to get the timing right. I've done it a few times over my career and hopefully it will happen again."
Although winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the Memorial and the AT&T National this year, Woods' historical measuring stick in majors has fallen short of his standards.
"I've played in three majors this year, and I didn't win any of them," Woods said. "That's the goal. I was there at the U.S. Open after two days and I was right there with a chance at the British Open. Things have progressed, but still, not winning a major championship doesn't feel very good."
Woods tied for 40th at the Masters, fell into a tie for 21st after taking a share of the 36-hole lead at the U.S. Open and tied for third in the British Open. But he left England in good spirits despite coming up short down the stretch at Royal Lytham & St Annes, saying his play in the British Open was his best in a major since finishing second in the 2009 PGA Championship.
"Having control (of my game) the way I did at Lytham, absolutely it was the best I've played in a major since '09," Woods said. "I played pretty well at Pebble (Beach in the 2010 U.S. Open) when I finished fourth, but I had better control of the ball at Lytham. …
"I feel very comfortable where I am at because everything is progressing. This year I've taken the steps headed in the right direction and shot better scores and been more consistent. You know, when you make changes like I've made in my game, it takes a little bit of time, and things are starting to click in now. And to have three wins this year, it's headed in the right direction."
Brandt Snedeker played with Woods in the final round of the British Open. Long before getting that close-up view, Snedeker knew Woods was back to being one of the best, if not the best, in the game.
"He has his confidence back, with three wins on tough courses," Snedeker said. "And what's scary about Tiger this year is that he's not putting it that great. If he was putting great, like we are used to seeing him, he'd probably have six wins this year. He's No. 2 in the world and he's not putting well, and that is scary to think about.
"Everybody out here on the Tour knows he's back. Once he gets that short game straightened out, when he gets that putter back to the way he's used to putting, it's going to be very, very tough to beat him."
While his march toward Nicklaus has stalled, Woods hasn't shifted into an urgency gear, knowing time still remains on his side.
"I figure it's going to take a career," Woods said. "Jack didn't finish his until he was 46, so if you go by that timetable, I've got 10 more years. Forty more majors is a lot."

Rarely a week passes that I don't receive a call or an e-mail from a constituent looking for contact information on a wide range of issues, including the critically important hotline to help prevent suicide among our veterans.
A very telling scene occurs in the movie, Promised Land---the film about two corporate salespeople, Steve Butler (Matt Damon) and Sue Thomason (Frances McDermond) who visit a rural town in an attempt to buy drilling rights from the local residents. They represent an energy company specializing in obtaining natural gas through a process known as fracking, which critics claim involves a variety of environmental hazards.
"Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?"
- Abraham Lincoln
I always feel a great deal of pride that Washington County is literally the "Land of Lincoln." Abraham's roots in life run deep here and I never forget it. That beautiful statue of Abraham gazing over his small town, in thoughtful contemplation, always makes me stop and wonder when I see it.
The bible will sometimes refer to a "stranger in a far-away land". It's a poetic way of referring to a person that has wandered away from our loving God and is now separated from Him. I met an old schoolmate the other day that was both literally and figuratively in a far-away land when what looked like a great tragedy in war brought him back to God.
Standing fully in the present moment, there are times when you can touch the past and the future, all at once and at the same time. You can even feel eternity sliding through your fingers.
And sometimes it happens through someone else's eyes.
I see my mama's eyes in a black and white photo of her when she was six, maybe seven years old--- about 85 years ago now. She's standing next to her mom somewhere out there on the Oklahoma prairie with the Great Depression swirling around them.
FRANKFORT – There were several Interim Joint Committee meetings this past week, including a Special Subcommittee on Energy that focused on Kentucky's struggling coal industry and the adverse impact of impending federal regulations. The decline in coal production that could result from these regulations is not just an Eastern Kentucky issue, but a serious statewide issue, as well.
FRANKFORT – The past couple of weeks have been busy in and around Frankfort with joint committee meetings on a wide range of issues including the DOD's planned forced brigade reduction at Ft. Knox, the possible ways to help SNAP recipients better balance their food budgets, and the impact of impending federal regulations on coal.
You can often see it in their eyes, if you take the time to look: That far away gaze tells you they are somewhere else---maybe in the future or the past but not the present.
Or sometimes their eyes dart this way and that, like those of a trapped animal searching for an escape route.
And if you have occasion to be with them for very long, you'll notice a restlessness---an inability to move forward with any kind of fruitfulness---even though they might exhibit workaholic tendencies or conversely, extreme lethargy.
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances."

It was a sad day at the Opera House this past week with the departure of Mrs. Jan Fattizzi. Jan is handling over the reigns as the Central Kentucky Community Theatre Director and heads to her next job in Florida.

enlisted in 1777 under Capt. John Noble Cummins; his field officers were
Gen. Maxfield and Col. Shreves at Princeton, NJ, and served as a Private in
the NJ Line as a substitute for his brother, Robert Thompson. He had
resided at Pitchgrove, Salem Co., NJ when he enlisted, and had lived at
Lycoming Co., PA and since about 1814, in Hamilton Co., OH.
[The records that were checked for proof of his service showed that Robert
Thompson was listed as "having deserted in November, 1777."] His claim was
not allowed as he could not prove six months' service.
In 1839, he made an additional declaration from Muncie, Delaware Co., IN
and stated that his brother, Robert Thompson, had since died. His first
wife, name unknown, died in 1833 in Ohio. He married again at Muncie,
Indiana, name of second wife not given.
On 16 Feb 1852 a claim was filed for one year service in the NJ Line by
Thomas Thompson as a substitute for his brother, Robert Thompson. This
claim was filed on behalf of the heirs of Thomas Thompson, deceased, of
Indiana, and included an affidavit from Jesse W. Thompson of Delaware Co.,
IN dated 20 Jan 1854, who was listed as one of those heirs.
A letter dated 6 Dec 1926 states the following: "Thomas Thompson lived in
or near Williamsport, Lycoming Co., PA until 1812 or 1813, when he and
family moved to Cheviot, near Cincinnatti, OH. His first wife died in 1833.
He went to Muncie, IN where he married a second time. He had received
Bounty Land in Kentucky for his service - afterwards the town of Proctor
was laid out on this ground. As his first wife refused to live in a slave
state, a squatter by the name of McQueen took possession of the land. My
great grandfather carried a bullet in the back of his neck from the war to
his grave." The above information was from Mrs. E. H. Koch, who resided at
2244 Beechmont Ave, Mt. Washington, OH in 1926.

The Business of Trading, from George Coyle
June 4, 2012 |
I'm reading Trading as a Business by Charlie Wright. Pretty good book profiling the evolution from discretionary trader to systematic trader. One of those books where I found myself laughing at having been down the paths. More trend following oriented but I think it is a pretty good synopsis of the systematic world and he covers some bases that added value in terms of elements to consider in one's trading (or at least mine). Decent set of checklists.
Do systematically inclined speculators recommend similar books (besides Victor Niederhoffer's and Larry Williams books).
Also, Tradestation seems to do most anything a trader would want in terms of trend following testing. I have never used it though.
George Parkanyi writes:
The only flaw I find with systems is that they immediately stop working as soon as you try to use them. I think people need to do more research on fading systems.
Christopher Tucker writes:
Where's the "like" button on the Speclist?
Steve Ellison adds:
Yes, even systems I developed myself stop working when I try to use them because of data mining bias. Even if there legitimately is an edge, some component of the good backtesting performance is better-than-average luck.
Leo Jia writes:
The word "enlightened discretionary" is very appealing. The reason for it, I guess, is because of the word "enlightened" more than the word "discretionary". Everyone hopes to be enlightened in someway. Being enlightened seems to be a spiritual consummation. But I guess that is not the first and real reason why people are after being enlightened. The real reason is that it is mystic and mostly unattainable. This coincides with a human nature of always craving for what they don't have, which is among the reasons why most people are persistently unhappy.
I feel preferring discretion to system is quite illogical. Aren't whatever rules one uses as a discretion by nature a system? It perhaps is not explicitly sketched out, but it by all means is a system of rules that resides in one's head. Couldn't that be phrased and then programmed? I agree some are not very easy. But are they really impossible?
Gary Phillips writes:
I've been doing this long enough to instinctively know what works and what doesn't. I only need to look at my P&L for empirical confirmation. If in doubt I just try to see the market for what it is and not what it appears to be. One needs to understand market structure, liquidity, and price action and develop a framework for analyzing the market, somewhere between bottom-up & top-down lies the sweet spot. This allows you to see the market in the proper context and provides you with a compass, which will keep you from feeling lost and will show you the way.
Craig Mee writes:
Aren't ?
Hi Leo, you probably could say "whatever rules one uses as a discretion by nature is a system", but a system may not have the ability to load up once the move kicks (obviously it can be programmed) but at times the opportunity may appear intuitive, and a trader can do that on relatively short notice, whilst keeping initial risk limited.
Interesting, Gary, the issue with systems seems to be at times data mining against price action and structure which gives strength of understanding. The HFT may work on massive turnover, low commissions and effectively front running, and unless you have those edges then it appears difficult to succeed from a data mining basis (and relatively scary trading something that you don't effectively understand from a logical point of view). However classifying a markets structure, and working off 3-4 premises no more, (as I believe more would allow any edge to be diluted across a range of options), and the ability to leverage once on a move, appears to be something you can work with. This is purely from a hands on execution basis, no doubt the pure programmers can weigh in.
I remember speaking to a guy who professionally programs for others… (admittedly a lot of retail), and we were talking about what are the laws in place for him to not front run me after developing a system I gave him…and he was like "mate, to be honest (probably insinuating "dont flatter yourself") 97% don't make a dime." That was certainly probably expected I suppose, but to hear it in technicolour was confronting and I was surprised he said as much.
Gary Phillips writes:
I really don't believe that discretionary trading today, is any harder than it used to be. The emotional aspects, and risk management, have essentially remained the same. Methodology is different, because algorithmic driven HFTrading has forced intra-day traders to change from momentum chasers to mean reversion traders. And as you stated, there are countless global/macro concerns as a result of the financial crisis and continued global easing. So, it does demand a broader universe of knowledge, and revamped techniques and benchmarks, but it still boils down to identifying what is truly driving price and how it is being driven.
I guess this is what gives you the elusive *edge*. But, as we used to say the *edge* can sometimes be the *ledge.* That being said, trading doesn't have to be about being right or wrong the market, or predicting where the market is headed in the next moment, hour, day or week. Trading can be nothing more than a probabilistic exercise, and a trade nothing more than a statistical data point - the next event in a series of events governed by the statistical random distribution of results.
Kim Zussman writes:
"Trading can be nothing more than a probabilistic exercise, and a trade nothing more than a statistical data point - the next event in a series of events governed by the statistical random distribution of results."
One would suggest that trading is a waste of time if your historical or expected mean are random.

Amazon says VPNs, ACLs and subnets provide almost-private-cloud security within a public one.
Amazon announced this morning an aging but well proven remote-access technology that might help fudge the difference in security between the two major classes of service external cloud providers like Amazon can offer: public and private.
The Amazon Virtual Private Cloud goes a long way to make a cloud-computing architecture look like a network of LANs, using traditional VPNs for secure access and common security approaches to add more granular control over who has access to what information in the cloud, when and how.
Both private and public clouds run a customer's workloads on virtual servers, on top of hypervisors (usually VMware's) and management, load balancing and security services or software -- mostly proprietary in Amazon's case.
The difference is that public clouds run all a customer's VMs on physical machines that also run VMs from other customers, relying on encryption, firewalls and other security built in by the customer to keep the VM secure.
Hosted private clouds (running on a service provider's site, not inside a customer's data center) run the customer's VMs on physical machines devoted only to them, and often include blocks of storage and links to the Internet the customer doesn't have to share, either.
The new service, Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, is a VPN that encrypts all the communication between VMs running on Amazon's EC2 and the customer's home network and creates a series of controls over the VMs running on Amazon's services.
That, theoretically, convinces both ends they're actually part of the same physical network, rather than being linked through the Internet. It also isolates each customer's network traffic from that of other customers, reducing the potential for leaks in transmission as well as between VMs on a shared physical server.
The configuration tool lets customers put all its VMs in a single subnet, create multiple private subnets, or make some subnets private and leave others open to the public, so they can back-end web sites or other online services.
Amazon presents the IPSec connection between EC2 and data centers as a secondary feature compared with the ability to subnet the VMs, but it should be more important to many potential customers than the ability to subnet a bunch of VMs running in someone else's data center, to which they can talk only through relatively insecure connections.
Customers can set up their own routing tables, Internet gateways and access control lists to get more control over who can access what VMs within the Amazon infrastructure.
They can also assign their own IP addresses, link through network address translators (NAT) that usually anonymize IP addresses behind them, run their own security or network management apps on the virtual nets, and use a variety of VPNs to make their own connections.
It doesn't deliver every configuration option or function of an in-house or private network, and does nothing to make the VMS sitting on shared physical servers more secure (those are covered by other features), but it does go a long way to secure the "data in motion" part of the equation.
Outsourcing, virtualization and cloud computing security all depends on three points of security, according to Gartner analyst Chris Wolf: securing data in place (in storage), data in motion (moving across a network) and data in use (in an application).
This set of options will not automatically secure the data in motion portion of that equation. It does go a long way toward giving customers the tools to do it themselves.
It also goes a long way to turn the kind-of alien-looking "cloud" IT architecture into a normal network. That makes it far easier for applications, network management software and IT staffers to understand, monitor and control information assets that live outside all the normal security built up to protect them.

Under Armour (UA)
Kevin Plank's business is operating very effectively these days. Under Armour's (UA) fourth quarter results were a blowout, with EPS of 59 cents — six cents better than the Capital IQ consensus estimate. Revenues increased 35% year-over-year to $683 million, which was $63 million higher than the consensus estimate.
Looking ahead to 2014, Under Armour expects to generate operating income of at least $326 million — 23% higher than in 2013. All of this put some pop in UA stock, which is good news for shareholders because until the huge jump post-earnings, it was in the hole by 2.4%.
Initially, I thought Nike (NKE) was the safer bet because UA stock has achieved annual total returns of 80%, 35%, 31%, 101% and 14% in each of the last five years, outperforming NKE on annualized basis by 28%. The gravy train has to end sometime doesn't it? But even with the big gains Jan. 30, UA stock is just getting started in 2014.
As a company, Under Armour is hitting its stride. In 2013, it generated $2.33 billion in revenue, eclipsing $2-billion mark for the very first time while delivering the 15th straight quarter of at least 20% growth. It expects to hit $4 billion by the end of 2016.
Whether it be apparel or footwear, men's or women's, UA expects significant growth over the next three years. I see it blowing through that number and coming in closer to $4.5 billion by the end of 2016. At a 12% operating margin and a 37% tax rate, if it hits my high-end projection, UA stock will generate $3.15 in earnings per share in 2016 — 110% higher than today.
Of these three leisure stocks, UA stock in my opinion is the best bet from Badenhausen's list of 37 stocks to outperform in 2014 (excluding the gains from Jan. 30). ACAT and COLM should also do well, but they won't keep pace with UA.
As of this writing, Will Ashworth did not own a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Who We Are
Tom DePung - Creator and owner of On The run Network TV
Tom envisioned and created On The Run Network TV as a way to help law enforcement nation wide make arrests of felon fugitives on the run. Working with Revel and it's staff they created an effective communication tool using web technology to communicate with Crime stoppers and Silent Observer in aiding arrests. He came up with a very simple rule of thumb for criminals.."criminals know where criminals are" and this became the company's motto.
By communicating and displaying felon fugitives on the run in detention facilities, web site and phone apps, On The Run Network TV has proven to be a highly effective tool in getting them off the streets of communities. Working with Sheriff's, their Detective Bureaus and the local Crime Stoppers and Silent Observer in their respective counties, it has proven to be very successful. Through the concerted efforts of On The Run Network TV and these other agencies there has been scores upon scores of arrests made in each county On The Run Network TV server's.
Tom also wanted to make sure he was giving back to the community's On The Run Network TV served, and in that spirit donates thousands of dollars every year to each county Crime Stopper/Silent Observer and On The Run Network TV serves.
If you want to learn more about this joint venture with On The Run Network TV and law enforcement please contact us.

In other hot male news, I encountered one in Wal Mart while looking for flat bread. GUESS WHAT, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY.
Anyway, back to the important topic at hand... I've never seen an attractive male in Wally (World... But I prefer to just say Wally) before. Like, ever.
He obvi thought I was hot too, because he kept conveniently finding himself in the same sections as me. First bread, then veggies, dairy... I'm sure he hadn't originally been planning to buy those things.
He was probably an axe murderer. That is the only situation in which an attractive male would be shopping in such a pit of despair.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHH I can't stop laughing. You are correct, hotness is rarely seen in that dreadful place.
When should I send him my pictures? Never...until he texts me and asks for them, right? LOL. I must drag out our blooming superficial relationship. rofl.
Should I accidentally slip in a a scandalous flawless picture of my head Photoshopped onto a VS model. "Oops!!...didn't mean to send that. Sorry."

Coming to Seneca's Northside community
Preliminary approval was granted last night at Seneca City Hall for a 48-unit senior citizen housing project in the city's Northside Community. To accommodate the builder, the city planning commission agreed to annex the property and assign an R-M 8 zoning classification. Builder Phil Ellen said senior housing apartments are his family's business. The approvals, in the form of recommendations to the city council, were routine, though a couple of questions were asked about traffic affecting Mill Street and the narrow Carter Street.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd leads the Atlantic Coast Conference's preseason all-league team.
The ACC on Wednesday announced the team following a vote of 65 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association.
Boyd appeared on 59 ballots and is one of three Tigers on the team along with receiver Sammy Watkins and kicker Chandler Catanzaro.
Florida State had a league-best six players selected while North Carolina placed four players on the team.
Georgia Tech had one player picked – senior defensive end Jeremiah Attaochu.
GEORGIA: Defensive coordinator Todd Grantham addressed Wednesday how he might replace Josh Harvey-Clemons in the secondary during his one-game suspension.
Harvey-Clemons won't be on the field for the opener Aug. 31 at Clemson after an incident involving marijuana in a dorm room.
At strong safety, Corey Moore, junior college transfer Shaq Fluker and Connor Norman are candidates.
SOUTH CAROLINA: Several SEC coaches were riled this week upon hearing comments from ACC coordinator of officials Doug Rhoads that he would have penalized South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney for targeting on his now-famous hit in the Outback Bowl last season.
Mike Pereira, the former NFL vice president of officiating, also agreed there was a "great chance" Clowney's hit would have resulted in an ejection in 2013 under the new targeting rules.
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier begged to differ.
"Our head of officials, Steve Shaw, told us it was a clean hit because he hit him in the chest and sort of ricocheted up and knocked his helmet off," Spurrier said. "I think what they're trying to prevent, and I agree, is when a player launches himself helmet to helmet into a guy. But that wasn't the case with Jadeveon's hit."
OHIO STATE: Coach Urban Meyer says he will make a decision about running back Carlos Hyde once he evaluates the facts surrounding the case.
The school announced Monday that Hyde and three other players had been disciplined.
Hyde was suspended indefinitely after he was named a person of interest in an investigation into an alleged assault of a woman at a downtown Columbus bar.
Meyer said he was furious when he was notified of the legal problems for the players.
FLORIDA: The state attorney's office has dismissed charges against Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison, who was arrested early Sunday morning after allegedly barking at a police dog and resisting arrest.
State attorney William Cervone said that he made the decision after watching police video of the arrest. He believed Morrison did not do anything that warranted being arrested.

- Knit cable tights in charcoal, sz SM (comes in 4 colors) which I now love - they're really warm and look cute under shorts or skirts. I had been eying a pair at H&M, but those cost a crazy $14.95! See these here on me.
- Satin bow headbands (3 colors) for $1.50 each. I don't really do headbands, but at this price I'll give it a shot! See here on me.
- More $3.50 nylon tights in charcoal, gray, and olive. These are opaque and one size fits all.
I then braved the crowd at LOFT to see if they had Kelly's wool trousers in my size. The item locator online said sold out, but lo and behold this store had tons in stock ... don't trust the item locater! LOFT was having 40% off so the pants came out to $42 (from $80), which is not exactly cheap for me, but I wanted to purchase first and decide later.
Belt: Ann Taylor Perfect Patent Skinny Belt in Granite, sz S (buy here)
Shoes: Ann Taylor Perfect Suede Pumps sz 5
Floral pin and earrings: J.Crew outlet
Verdict: I don't have anything cute and cuffed, so I'm leaning towards keep!
This silk/chiffon blouse in women's 0 was a random find at a J.Crew store. It was about $20 after their discounts so although it was huge (see before alterations photo here), it only needed an easy alteration. I sewed in the sides myself (took about 5 minutes, otherwise I have no patience for DIY alterations).
Readers - Would you keep or return these pants (for $42)?

About the Book
In Warhammer, the game of fantasy battles created by Games Workshop, you and your friends wage war over a tabletop battlefield, commanding armies of mighty warriors.
This book shows the collection of armies we have built and paint overtime and we like to use during bloody battles.
In the book you can also see some miniatures we have build just because we like them, even if not part of some army we actually own.
A table battlefield is not complete without some scenery like arcane ruins, hills, woods, houses, castles and many other elements you can build by yourself and use to have a different scenario every time you play. Here you can take a look at some of our scenery and terrains.
Finally, we are starting working with some static diorama idea, again based on Warhammer fantasy, building terrain and scenery elements and then placing on it some miniature.

Things You'll Need:
* A cell phone with a camera
* 2 mini tripods - Vanguard VS55 Mini Table Tripod
* Cell phone belt clip that fits your phone without covering the camera lens
* 13/64" drill bit and ¼-20 tap
* Monocular telescope - I used a Zeiss 10 x 25
* 1" pipe clamp to mount the monoscope
* ¼-20 nut
Technical information:
The focal length of a digiscope system is calculated by multiplying the focal length of the digital camera lens by the magnification of the spotting scope (If your are using a 10 x 25 monocular the magnification would be 10). For example, when a 3X zoom digital camera with a 100mm focal length (35mm equivalent) and a 10X spotting scope are combined, the effective focal length will be 1,000 mm (100 x 10). A digiscope system simulates long focal lengths for capturing super telephoto images.

May is here, and so are a host of spring hazards for your pets.
Catch up on these healthy tips to keep your furry family happy, healthy and safe!
Check, Please - National Pet Week is May 1-7! Founded in 1981 by
the AVMA, National Pet Week aims to promote responsible pet ownership,
celebrate the human-animal bond, and promote public awareness of veterinary medicine.
National Pet Week is a great time to reevaluate your pet's current care and make
improvements where necessary. If your best friend hasn't been to the vet in a while,
schedule a routine checkup; early diagnosis is crucial to catching and treating
any problems which may have developed. During your visit, you can also review your
pet's vaccination schedule, diet and preventive medications with your vet to make
sure your pet is set for a happy, healthy summer.
Party Animals Beware - If you and your pets are hosting or traveling
to a Cinco de Mayo party, play it safe by keeping dangerous snacks like candy and
guacamole away from curious paws. A sweet candy snack could lead to a bout of pancreatitis, while avocado contains
persin, which can damage heart, lung
and other tissues. Also, if your bash features piñatas and streamers, keep an eye
on kitty. An accidentally ingested streamer could cause issues, not to mention a
hefty vet bill.
Ticked Off - May is the peak month for ticks in most parts of the
United States. Ticks can spread a host of nasty diseases to your pets, from ehrlichiosis
and anaplasmosis in dogs to Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease in both
dogs and cats. Luckily these diseases are preventable with simple monthly protection.
Your best bet against these bloodsuckers is a monthly preventive such as Frontline
Plus, which not only battles fleas and ticks but also chewing lice as well. If you're
unsure which option is best for your pet, consult with your veterinarian.
Vets for
(April blogs to boost your pet prowess!)
Take Heart - April was Heartworm Awareness Month. As temperatures
rise around the country, so do mosquito populations. Heartworms are spread by mosquitos
and can cause a serious and potentially fatal disease if our pets are not properly
protected by preventives. Learn more about heartworms and how they can plague our
pets in this blog by Dr. Kim Smyth.
Breathing Easy - It's kitten season, so it is a great time to discuss
a common issue faced by many young cats - upper respiratory infection. Similar to
the common cold, this infection attacks the immature immune systems of kittens,
but can affect cats of any age as well. In this blog post, Dr. Smyth
offers some tips to help your favorite fur friends breathe easier this spring.

is now even better!
Strawberry Fields Fur-ever - If your dog loves to dig up the garden
and snack on your berry bushes, give him a colorful, fun alternative
to trampling your fall jam supply, perfect for stuffing with healthy treats for
squeezing fun.
Howling Wind - Keep your pooch protected from the elements on spring
hikes with a colorful, all-weather windbreaker from Martha
Stewart Pets, which conveniently folds up into its back pocket when sunnier skies
Let it Roll - Keeping kitty entertained just got easier with this
interactive 5-in-1 track toy
featuring a rolling ball perfect for batting and chasing around the track.
Fighting Fur Justice - In April, The Humane Society of the United
States teamed up with the Union and Bradford (FL) Sheriff's Office and others to
help bring down an alleged dogfighter
in Florida. In total, 24 dogs were rescued from the Lake Butler, FL, property
and given a new lease on life. The investigation was a result of a tip that came
from The HSUS' national animal fighting tip line, which offers rewards of up to
$5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in
illegal animal fighting - a felony in all 50 states. If you ever suspect animal
fighting is happening in your area, you can call 877-TIP-HSUS (877-847-4787) to
file a report.
Petplan policyholder Carrie Willis referred five of her friends to Petplan and
got $125 worth of Amex gift cards in return ($25 for each pet enrolled)!

Hot Rod - If the warmer weather has you and your pet itching for
a ride in the car, don't let the spring temperatures fool you into forgetting some
basic travel safety rules. Cars can heat up quickly, even when it seems cool outside.
A study from Stanford University shows that even in
72 degree weather, a car can heat up to 116 degrees in just 60 minutes, putting
your pet at severe risk. Be safe: never leave your pet in your car unattended, even
on a cloudy day.
Beantown Bound - Boston's Logan International Airport recently
improved its ability to care for pets who take to the sky, outfitting two ambulances
with pet oxygen masks and specially trained staff to better respond to pet medical
emergencies. In addition, paramedics, firefighters, state police troopers and even
airline baggage handlers are receiving first aid training so
that they can bandage wounds, provide CPR and more safely handle pet passengers
should they face peril during travel.
No Buddy Left Behind - May 30 is Memorial Day, a time to honor
those who have served and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. (Petplan's own
co-founder Chris Ashton was an officer in the British Royal Marine Commandos!) This
Memorial Day, Petplan encourages everyone remember our four-legged companions in
conflict and maybe even support great organizations like Operation Baghdad Pups,
which provides veterinary care and helps coordinate transportation to reunite service
men and women with the pets who provided them with emotional support and companionship
while serving our country overseas. Join Petplan on Facebook on Memorial Day and share
your pictures and stories of service men and women and their best friends.
Targeted Approach - Researchers at the University Of Pennsylvania
School Of Veterinary Medicine are studying dogs diagnosed with
breast cancer to shed light on how to better treat mammary tumors - in both
dogs and humans. Canine tissue samples collected show canine mammary tumors to be
very similar at the genetic level to human mammary tumors, and researchers are hopeful
their study reveals a better way to target the tumors through drug therapy - leading
to more effective treatment for both four- and two-leggers!
Butt Out - May 31 is World No Tobacco Day. Research indicates that
cats and dogs who live with smokers are at a higher risk for cancer, allergies and
other health problems caused by second hand smoke. In addition, a study published by the
American Journal of Epidemiology also notes that cats who live with smokers are
twice as likely to develop feline lymphoma. Learn more about how smoking and other
household hazards can affect your pet's health in the upcoming Green issue of
fetch! magazine, due in homes and stores in June 2011.

"A Green Tail" Contest Winner
"My Miniature Poodle, Cooper, has a green 'tail'! When I
got him at four-months-old, his previous owner made sure he was raised green - which
was great because I was already an eco-conscious pet parent! Here at home we make
sure we treat our lawn with organic pet-friendly lawn care products so that he can
enjoy the yard. We also use green household products to take care of any mess Cooper
makes and feed him organic foods. However, Cooper is a very picky eater and what
he prefers is his mom's organic home-cooked meals! I have a spoiled little
pup on my hands!"

text: Hi, my name is Andy, I recently got my A4 DTM in black and I love it. Totally standard atm.. but i have a habit of doing things to cars, I have a heavily modified mini (zcars kit) and quite a fun Landrover! I got the car as a commuter as the E320cdi i am also running is not the best in the snow! Not sure how long this car is going to stay standard, its great, but feels like it wants soo much more power! Not sure weather or not to go for a stage one remap, or just save my money, change a few bits to make stage two or three? Anyway, not had it long and only have one pic atm..

How did they do that? The Chicago Tribune says that "The images are designed on computer, says CNA Financial spokesman Boesel, but the rest of the work is done manually. Every blind is changed, every light switch is clicked on or off by human hands." (The CNA Center says Go Bears.)
And Dan Perez, CNA's senior software manager, is described as "the Michelangelo of the Chicago night skyline."
But in the end, the celebration lights were not required.
