Speechless in New England
Karl Stephan on Breakfasting with Cultural Antagonists
One morning, at a bed-and-breakfast in New England, my wife and I met a well-dressed woman from the West Coast. This woman—I will call her Mrs. B.—proved to be an engaging and intelligent conversationalist. An Episcopalian and a Democrat, she was no fan of President Bush. She feared that conservative and fundamentalist Christians—she used both modifiers—were a serious threat to freedom. She was convinced that the President is issuing little-known executive orders to further restrict Americans' freedoms beyond what has been done already through such well-publicized measures as the Patriot Act. His ultimate goal, she said, is to take the country back to 1950, or even earlier if possible.
One of her daughters is a lesbian rabbi, who with her lover has adopted two boys (or perhaps given birth to them—she was not clear on that point). They had to go through the legal process of adopting the boys and carefully chose the only judge of those available who typically granted such applications to lesbian couples. Mrs. B. feared that even this relative freedom would soon be swept away in the tidal wave of repression that will come about during the sovereignty of the Republicans, who are in turn controlled by conservative Christians.
Mrs. B. had an interesting view of the relationship between Episcopalianism and Christianity. "I love my faith," she said, but because of what conservative Christians have been doing, she no longer publicly identifies herself as a Christian. She will still admit to being an Episcopalian, however.
Fighting Mrs. B.
I am by nature a somewhat inoffensive soul. Fights and arguments distress me, and if I can see any way to allow people to get along without arguing, I will, as long as I do not have to lie outright. After hearing Mrs. B. say all this, I therefore refrained from stating my frank opinion about lesbians being rabbis and having children. But I can imagine what might have happened if I had tried to explain my position.
Suppose I had steeled myself to say, "You know, Mrs. B., historic Christianity condemns homosexual behavior as a disordered misuse of sexuality. A society that puts children in the care of lesbians is adding scandal to the sin."
Given Mrs. B.'s strong feelings about the matter, she might not have let me get any farther than the first sentence. At the very least, she would have immediately classified me as one of those conservative Christians who have been conspiring for the last three decades to take over the country. She might have jumped up and stomped out of the room, leaving the table and the B&B too. The B&B owners had been the soul of hospitality, so for this reason alone I was reluctant to say anything that would have spoiled the cordial atmosphere of our breakfasts together.
But if what I believe is true, Mrs. B. believes something that is false. Her lesbian rabbi daughter is not only living a sinful life, but is also teaching others to do so by both example and precept, if lesbianism ever comes up in discussions with the members of her synagogue (and you can be sure that it does). On the other hand, considering Mrs. B.'s point of view, it is hard to conceive of an argument against homosexuality that she would even listen to, much less believe.
There are some women for whom their children's behavior is above criticism. Mrs. B. did not impress me as one of them. Her personality seemed forceful, yet balanced. I believe she was fully capable of criticizing or correcting her daughter's behavior, but she did not believe lesbianism something to be corrected. After all, she has grandchildren living with the lesbian daughter as well as with her more conventional daughters.
If she took the position that lesbianism is sinful and to be avoided, she would be endorsing a policy that, if embodied in law, would either deny her daughter the right to raise children altogether, require her daughter to repress or change her sexual inclinations, or force her daughter to lie about her lesbianism to qualify for adoption. Mrs. B. would not have found any of these options acceptable.
Some will say that in remaining silent about this issue, I missed an opportunity to witness to the truth. As Christians, we often hold positions that, if verbalized, would cause dissension, disagreement, or fights among people we know as colleagues, acquaintances, or friends. Sometimes the wisest and most Christ-like thing to say is nothing at all.
Diplomatic Silence
Some consider the word "diplomat" to be a synonym for "highly paid liar," but even Christ at times paid attention to what might be viewed as diplomacy. When he and Peter were asked to pay the temple tax, he confided to Peter that as the Son of God he had no need to pay the tax; but for the sake of not offending the collectors, he told Peter to catch a fish, and he would find the shekel tax in its mouth (see Matt. 17:24–27). Was Jesus ashamed of being the Christ? No, but for reasons best known only to himself, he chose not to make an issue of it, and instead performed his only recorded miracle involving money.
We are told to hate the sin and yet love the sinner. We are all sinners in one way or another. Mrs. B. loves her daughter the sinner, but if Mrs. B. hates the sin at all, she doesn't hate it enough to object to her lesbian daughter being a mother and a rabbi. We are also told to love our enemies. If Mrs. B. knew my position on homosexuality, she would probably classify me as one of those conspiratorial conservative Christians—in other words, an enemy.
Is she therefore my enemy too? I do not regard her as such. We managed to sit together for three breakfasts without ever raising our voices in anger—but only because I concealed my true beliefs about matters she discussed.
The conversation ended when Mrs. B. apologized for talking too long, and excused herself from the table. Someone once said that all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. In this trial, if trial is what it was, I remained silent instead of speaking out for what I believe in. I do not view Mrs. B. as wholly evil, or even as one who necessarily holds consciously evil intentions. She is in the grip of a delusion that is reinforced by much of what our culture teaches about homosexuality.
But so far, her lesbian daughter is raising two sons and teaching her synagogue that nothing is wrong with her style of life. The sons may or may not grow up to believe their mothers were right about homosexuality, but chances are that they will. Children have a strong tendency, probably built into them by God, to believe that whatever their parents do is right and even intelligent. Not only do the consequences of this sin endanger the souls of the lesbian couple, but they also set a bad example for numbers of other people, including the sons and the members of the daughter's synagogue.
The only alternative to my silence would have been for me to say what I really believe to be the truth about the matter. But our relativist society so closely associates intellectual positions with the individuals who hold them that most people assume that disagreement with one's beliefs is the same as an attack on that person. Even if I had somehow overcome this obstacle, and Mrs. B. had been able to distinguish between a discussion and a personal attack on her and her daughter, she still would have dismissed me as another unthinking, cruel, conspiratorial conservative Christian: the type of person whose ideas are not worthy of serious consideration.
In several of C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan the Lion says that "no one is ever told what might have happened." If this is true, not even God will tell me what would have followed if I had spoken up. I now know what happens if I don't. Perhaps next time this matter comes up in conversation, I'll have the courage—or foolhardiness—to find out what happens if I do.

What was the Importance/significance of Theatre in Ancient Greek society?
- print Print
- list Cite
2 Answers
Theatre in Ancient Greece was popularized in Athens around 550 B.C Theater was an important part of the cultural festival of Dionysian. Dionysus was the Greek god of grape harvest, and wine, and served as a symbol of pleasure and ecstasy within Greek culture. Theater was an important part of this festival, and represented its climax.
Greek theater served as an important tool by which cultural exchange could take place. Plays commonly referenced important, political, social, cultural and religious themes. They offered new views and asked thought provoking questions, and helped to form what we have come to know as the philosophical and moral base of Greek culture.
Doing so with the use of what were at the time novel theatric devices such as, costumes, masks, staging, acting, singing, and sarcasm.
The Theatre of Ancient Greece, or ancient Greek drama, is a theatrical culture that flourished in ancient Greece between c. 550 and c. 220 BC. The city-state of Athens, which became a significant cultural, political and military power during this period, was its centre, where it was institutionalized as part of a festival called the Dionysian, which honoured the god Dionysus. Tragedy (late 6th century BC), comedy (486 BC), and the satyr play were the three dramatic genres to emerge there. Athens exported the festival to its numerous colonies and allies in order to promote a common cultural identity. Western theatre originated in Athens and its drama has had a significant and sustained impact on Western culture as a whole.
Hope I helped. :)

Cancun Condos offers you a shopping guide to Cancun so you know what is what and where when you visit us.
There are 5 main malls on the hotel zone of Cancun:
Still in development stages this 'Shopping village' already houses the world famous designer clothes shop 'Zara'. There is a Riverwalk and marine. This promises to be the most elegant of all the shopping malls in Cancun, with an interactive aquarium, restaurants, bars, cinemas and food court. La Isla is located between Plaza Flamingo and Plaza Kukulcan.
This dome shaped mall houses The Rain Forest Café , The Hard Rock Café and The Coco Bongo Night Club. You never lose sight of anyone in this mall as the isles are circular and overlook the main downstairs foyer. Here you will find everything from Rain Forest stuffed toys to Cancun T-Shirts, if a bit pricey. The mall has a food court that overlooks the ocean.
Located in the heart of the Hotel Zone this shopping center features a wide variety of shops and boutiques. In this mall you will find economical souvenirs in the arts & crafts shops on the second floor, a Harley Davidson shop, cinemas with movies in English and Spanish, liquor stores, bikini shops, and the latest fashions at LOB. There are 2 pharmacies, a Guess jeans and Ultra Femme Perfume Store for Duty Free purchases. There is a great food court on the second floor with everything from Italian, Oriental and Mexican food. You also have Ruth's Chris Steak House, El Pescador (Seafood), O.K. Maguey (Mexican), Splash (International), 100% Natural (For those all natural folks !) and Cenaccolo (Italian)
The original Cancun Mall and great for special gifts as it has shell shops, precious stone shops, leather stores and an art gallery of the famous Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante. There is a Señor Frogs shops and a Ralph Polo, so there is something to suit everyone. The Mall is surrounded by Restaurants including Savio's, la Fisheria and 100% Natural. Close by, after the Party Center you will find the Black Coral (Coral Negro) Flea market, which is quite fun to visit. Lots of little shops with arts and crafts. Always bargain in this type of market. You may also find some spray paint artists that are quite skilled doing planetary landscapes.
Planet Hollywood at one end and Pat O'Brien's at the other gives someone more reason to walk through and enjoy the little tobacco shops, the cigar shops, Italian glass store, music and arts and crafts shops. You will also find here the Outback Steak House and a Sanborn's for an afternoon cool drink, just to get out of the heat.
Logo stores:
Señor Frogs: in Plaza Caracol, second floor.
Pat O'Brien's: in Plaza Flamingos
Hard Rock Café: In Plaza Forum by the Sea
Ralph Polo: Plaza Caracol, ground floor
The Rain Forest: Plaza Forum by the Sea, first floor.
Harley Davidson: Plaza Kukulcan, upstairs
Flea Markets:
The famous 'Kiwik' flea market on Avenue Tulum will provide you with an afternoon's entertainment haggling with the local salesmen.
Also try Market 28. It get's it's name from it's location in section 28 of the town. Check our Downtown Map. You will find lots of shops and plenty to do in this colorful market. If you are there around lunch time you may want to try some sea food at El Cejas or some Mexican Food in Checándole.
Shop where the locals do.
Good old Wal mart, with its worlwide reach, is also in Cancun !.You can take a bus from your hotel (any one that passes going Down Town) to Avenue Tulum downtown and from there take a taxi which costs 10 pesos in total for up to 4 persons. This mega supermarket is open 24 hours a day and has a laundry, McDonald's, opticians, bank, pharmacy and of course a SAM'S Club right beside it.
This supermarket has great fruit and vegetables and has a very economical self service restaurant inside beside the cold meats section.
Chedraui (Pronounced Chey-Draw-Wee)
This supermarket is right on the entrance of the Hotel Zone, on Tulum Av. The selection is good, but not as big as Walmart as you might have guessed. You do not need to take a taxi as all the buses coming back from the hotel Zone pass in front of this supermarket. Just look for the "Ceviche" fountain (the sea shell fountain). Open 9 AM -10 PM
There are 3 Comercial Mexicana's in Cancun. The largest one is a mega store on Kabah Av. There is a smaller one beside the bus station on Avenue Tulum. Both are open from 8.00AM to 9.00PM.
This supermarket is especially good for fresh meats and has a great bakery. Both stores have a salad bar and cooked food bar where you can buy foods already prepared. We can recommend this food as the locals buy it too.
There are discounted medicines in the pharmacy in the Comercial Mexicana on Avenue Kabah. There is a an excellent cheese counter inside the supermarket, and you can also find inside their installations a hairdressers, bank and soda fountain.
Cost Co.
Right next to Comercial Mexicana on Av. Kabah you will find a bran new Cost Co. that opened in September of 1999. It has a very large selection of goods, very much like SAM's Club.
Plaza Las Americas
Plaza las Americas was opened at the end of 1998. It is located on Tulum Av. almost as you get out of Cancun towards the Airport. You have a Chedraui (much bigger than the one in the entrance of the hotel zone) that is quite good for groceries. You also have a Sears and a Liverpool which is very much like the Mexican version of J.C. Penneys. There are also plenty of small shops with something for everyone. If you are downtown, and want to spend the afternoon shopping, this is a pretty good place.


text: Marissa and Byron's wedding was held on the emerald cliffs of Half Moon Bay, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The couple got ready at the Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay and the ceremony took place at the Half Moon Bay Golf Links. I learned that the Ritz patterned this hotel after the Scottish landscape, and in that they truly succeeded. As the lush rolling hills meets blankets of fog, the Ritz looks like an old castle in the background. One of the highlights had to be the wedding party making use of golf carts for the portraits. It was too much fun! We drove all over the property and walked down to a secluded beach for whimsical images. The reception was held at Yank Sing, at the Rincon Center, in downtown, San Francisco. This change of venue allowed us to visit the vintage street cars and capture some of the urban landscape. The night blossomed into a grand party, including a tea ceremony and a lion dance to bless this fabulous couple. Congratulations to Marissa and Byron!

Children of the future age,
Reading this indignant page,
Know that in a former time
Love, sweet love, was thought a crime.
In the age of gold,
Free from winter's cold,
Youth and maiden bright,
To the holy light,
Naked in the sunny beams delight.
Once a youthful pair,
Filled with softest care,
Met in garden bright
Where the holy light
Had just removed the curtains of the night.
There, in rising day,
On the grass they play;
Parents were afar,
Strangers came not near,
And the maiden soon forgot her fear.
Tired with kisses sweet,
They agree to meet
When the silent sleep
Waves o'er heaven's deep,
And the weary tired wanderers weep.
To her father white
Came the maiden bright;
But his loving look,
Like the holy book,
All her tender limbs with terror shook.
Ona, pale and weak,
To thy father speak!
O the trembling fear!
O the dismal care
That shakes the blossoms of my hoary hair!'
Sorry, no summary available yet.

I bought the shoes two weeks ago and I am happy with the quality
I have had these shoes for a month and have no problems. Everybody comments about the bright orange color.
I bought tennis shoes online on a Monday and had them Tuesday without extra shipping charges. Don't know if this common or not but was very impressed. The shoes are great, too.
I have been wearing these shoes for about two weeks and found them to be light weight, easy to break in and with good toe room for comfort. Playing on hardcourts, the soles are not showing much wear after playing five to six matches a week. Insoles are a little thin and may need additional cushioning.
I bought this shoe for my son. He is very happy with it. Very comfortable and good grip on court. He want to buy one more pair
Very happy with these shoes. I like having the tight shoes for tennis, and this shoe is not too tight for tennis. But i do double socking to avoid this, so that my feet doesn't move much, inside the shoe. And i see the outer sole is still like new after a month of use.
I bought the Adidas Barricade Club tennis shoes a few weeks ago and have been extremely satisfies with the overall feel and support. I also love the look...just different than a lot of tennis shoes, so, also great for casual wear, as well. Great value...quite satisfied.
Very stylish and great functionality; my son loved them for junior high tennis!

The cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) was a species of bear that lived in Europe during the Pleistocene and became extinct at the beginning of the Last Glacial Maximum, about 27,500 years ago.
The cave bear's range stretched across Europe; from Spain and Great Britain in the west, Italy, parts of Germany, Poland, the Balkans, Romania and parts of Russia, including the Caucasus; and northern Iran. No traces of cave bears have been found in Scotland, Scandinavia or the Baltic countries, which were all covered in extensive glaciers at the time.
Usually broken, eroded or just usually junky looking, this very large cave bear canine is in superb condition. The entire surface is dense and smooth. The entire crown of the tooth is complete with intact enamel, with no peel or separation from the root.
This is a large canine and the great fossil. NO RESTORATION OR REPAIR. Recommended for anyone wanting an inexpensive yet, fine quality specimen from the great European Cave Bear of the Pleistocene.

I had come to the house, in a cave of trees,
Facing a sheer sky.
Everything moved, -- a bell hung ready to strike,
Sun and reflection wheeled by.
When the bare eyes were before me
And the hissing hair,
Held up at a window, seen through a door.
The stiff bald eyes, the serpents on the forehead
Formed in the air.
This is a dead scene forever now.
Nothing will ever stir.
The end will never brighten it more than this,
Nor the rain blur.
The water will always fall, and will not fall,
And the tipped bell make no sound.
The grass will always be growing for hay
Deep on the ground.
And I shall stand here like a shadow
Under the great balanced day,
My eyes on the yellow dust, that was lifting in the wind,
And does not drift away.

The Rotation Period of Comet Hale-Bopp
T.L. Farnham, D.G. Schleicher (Lowell Obs.), E. Ford (MIT), E.A. Blount (Beloit College)
Hale-Bopp was a very active comet that produced dust at a rate greater than has been measured in any other comet at any distance in the past 20 years. As early as the Fall of 1995, Hale-Bopp was exhibiting dust features that changed with time. We have images obtained on 40+ nights between June 1996 and May 1997 at the 42'' Hall telescope at Lowell Observatory.
Images were obtained using both the IHW narrowband filters the new Hale-Bopp narrowband filter set. The comet was monitored each night using the IHW Red Continuum filter (6840 Å) or the HB Red Continuum filter (7128 Å) to isolate scattered light from the dust particles near the nucleus. Images were also obtained with other filters in each set to isolate gas and ion emission bands and measure the continuum at other wavelengths. The dust morphology was essentially the same in all of the continuum filters during a single night's observations. After varying only slowly during 1996, the dust structure showed variations from night to night in 1997, with drastic changes taking place in the month-to-month time frame. At large heliocentric distances, the structure was primarily radial, with spiral-shaped arcs becoming apparent in February. Closer to perihelion, the arcs were the dominant structure near the nucleus.
We will use the changing morphology throughout the apparition to measure the rotation period of the nucleus and to obtain an estimate of the orientation of its rotation axis. The results of this rotation analysis will be presented, along with constraints on the locations of active regions on the surface of the nucleus.

We did a park and sail stay at the Tremont House and had yet another outstand stay.
I left my coat in a closet and I called back to the lost and found service and they are returning it to me as of yesterday and our room was 374 and 373 which was our greatest enjoyment.
There were two large weddings on our night and we were given the greatest of rooms. I think they are usually reserved for special guests and we were lucky enough to have them assigned to us and we were so impressed. Thanks to all your staff, our stay was one for the memory books and made our celebration of our 50th Anniversary outstanding. Thanks again Betty Calcote

I dont want to make a huge dea of this, but I guess I may have to right? I dont have much money, is this going to be expensive?
Thank you so much, it was nice, especially at this hour, to have someone to talk to. I wish you were local! Have a good night!

Well hello there friends! How are you today? Having a good February so far? Today was busy for me, but a good busy so I'm not complaining. It feels good to be back home with my cozy laptop to sit here before you and share some Etsy finds for the week. I've been thinking about this while out and about today… who can I feature this week? And these five shops came to mind. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do.
Kiersten Essenpreis is an artist/illustrator living in Brooklyn who is quite imaginative with her whimsical prints. Some of her clients include GQ, The New York Times, LA Weekly, Paper Magazine, Nylon Magazine, and Coach Handbags so Kiersten's work just may be familiar to you for a reason!
Studio Flower Power in Canada creates cards pretty enough to frame using digital imagery, hand drawings and real pressed flowers on each one.
I have a few girlfriends who are pregnant and I keep looking for something handmade and special to give to them… these knit hats and baby booties from Mama Rosa's just may be what I'm looking for! How I love hats with ears…
Krize and her "smiling shop" as she calls it is a Lithuanian children's book illustrator living in Spain and selling mostly her illustrations as prints and accessories. They are so sweet how can you not smile. :)
Indobay creates modern hand-printed textiles with a simple touch for the home. There is beauty in this work because it is not made by a machine but with love by hand — everything has unique character and one-of-a-kind charm.

What's a public interest media advocate? Another duff notion for regulating the press (this time in Australia) that didn't pass parliamentary muster for being too crude, too statutory, too threatening for the independents in Canberra who had to support it. But at least Julia Gillard was looking to the future. Get regulation together, not split apart. And at least there was some vestigial effort to think outside the box.
Our own House of Lords communications committee published its report on media convergence last week: thoughtful document, cautious conclusions. Let's get regulators talking to each other more often. Let's try to hammer out more consistent codes of conduct across different media. Maybe we could devise a voluntary system – on film censorship lines – for video online. Certainly Ofcom must be given much a greater role. The media future isn't decades away. It's happening now, before our eyes. We need know what the viewing or reading public expects. There's a huge difference between light-touch activity and leaden inertia.
Lord Inglewood, the committee's chairman, is a sensible man. Ask him how all this fits with royal press charters sealed in theoretical perpetuity until two-thirds of both houses vote for change and he chuckles dryly. The charter will be "entrenching a system that's out of date by the time it's signed". Sir Brian Leveson wasn't given a realistic brief. His prescriptions are just not going to work. Seal the past with a dab of statute and the future will kill it stone dead.
The moment you discuss the ins and outs of regulating blogging, for instance, is the moment everything gets idiotic. It's hard, Inglewood knows. Press regulation was broke; but replacing it by another system that fractures immediately will be potty. Better pause and try to make things more durable. Better still (as trade pacts form), try to get standards on privacy and the rest broadly agreed across the Atlantic – not vainly "enforced" in one country alone. The New Zealand law commission was publishing its own report on convergence last week, just as the Lords completed theirs – after talking to some of the same witnesses. This is a joined-up world, but charters stop at Calais.

"Path To 8-29: Swimming To Houston" is a mini series documentary about the heroic rescue of all the people from the Mississippi Gulf Coast region by the Bush Administration before Hurricane Katrina made landfall in August of 2005.
This Disney film is based on the Congressional Report that was convened within 24 hours of the passing of the storm and in no way distorts the real historical and recorded events to appease Disney's masters in Florida.
The StoryEdit
The film begins in 1996 when, as Governor of Texas, The Greatest President-to-be realizes the destructive power of the seasonal satanic water beasts and commissions a study to see how government can help people. However, the Texas Hurricane Commission Report was only used in Texas. The Greatest President pleaded desperately to have it adopted nation-wide but was rebuffed. He vowed to one day become president so that it may be implemented and save people lives.
The film then jumps forward to the hours immediately preceeding Katrina's landfall, when The Greatest President is seen running toward New Orleans holding a gigantic umbrella, thus blocking the venerable city from the bulk of the storm. Behind him are his entire staff, including Condoleeza Rice who braved the storm to hold a finger in the 17th Street levee to make sure it wouldn't breach preventting Katrina from damaging anyone's home, sacrificing a brand new pair of Manolo Blahnik shoes.
Hate America Firsters have complained that the film blames Bill Clinton for the entire debacle. If they could just stop apologizing for Bill Clinton, they might be able to see how he failed his country at their hour of need.
After seeing a preview of the film, the Emmy voters have saved a 2007 award for the mini series.

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'The Lobby - Misc Discussion' started by OneBigClam, Aug 5, 2012.
Is that a lego?
I reckon it's a Playmobil. I thought it was a drawing or computer render at first.
It is Playmobil indeed.
It belongs to the son of a cousin of mine who came to my place last Sunday, as I was taking pictures of those coins I posted in the previous page. He's around 4 and a half. He carries some of his toys with him.
I got him interested in the process of taking pictures and showed him how I placed the flash, the coins etc.
Then I got TWO assault rifles equipped on that toy (very practical!) and took a couple of pictures - inspired of course by the famous My Little Pony pictures posted by Clam.
He told me that we are "we are two tough boys" and I laughed.
@PimpinCatfish, this one's for you.
I took a walk in my neighborhood today. I started at my house (the red X) and followed the following path:
Here's the view out my front door:
Looking left (North):
Looking right (South):
Here's the view down my street (Woodley Place) looking South toward Calvert Street:
Walking South on Woodley Place:
Once I got to Calvert Street I turned left (East), and started walking across the Duke Ellington Memorial Bridge:
If you walk about 1/4 mile farther on Calvert Street you come to a neighborhood called Adams Morgan. That's where I met up with @VultureGangsta when he came to town.
Half way across the bridge I looked South over Rock Creek Park below. The bridge you see in the picture is the Taft bridge, which I'll get to in a minute:
Then I turned around and started walking back West along Calvert:
Here's the corner of Connecticut and Calvert. See Ms. Monroe?
Turning South, we come to the Taft bridge, which we saw from the picture from the Duke Ellington bridge:
The city loves its red light cameras:
There are lions guarding the bridge:
Looking South across the Taft bridge:
I kept going West on Calvert Street and came to this awesome diner, called Open City:
Here's the major landmark on this part of Calvert, the enormous Omni Shorham Hotel:
I started heading back East toward Connecticut Ave. Here's Open City again:
Looking North on Connecticut:
Cheap but decent Chinese:
Here's the best restaurant in my neighborhood, District Kitchen:
Continuing the pictures of my walk, here's a great deal on strawberry margaritas at Medaterra:
Here's the Metro stop where I catch the subway to work:
Here's the view looking across Connecticut:
Here's the local little market which manages to cram an incredible selection of food and alcohol into a tiny store. Too bad the employees are generally surly:
Really good French food upstairs. I haven't been to the Italian place downstairs yet:
Finally, here's the view looking up Connecticut. The National Zoo is 2 blocks up that way.
That was very cool. Made hungry, too.
Foggy today
I don't remember posting that.
It's an old photo I took, November 2003. It's actually from a film camera I had back then (still do) and it's a scan.
Is that Sydney?
Yes, and that's the Opera House. An impressive building, if you ask me. It might have seemed "bold" at the time it was build, but it gives character to a city like that. The moon was rising from the east, so I thought it was a good opportunity for a shot, since it gives the illusion that the moon is lighting the Opera House.
I didn't have a tripod with me, or a cable for long exposure shots, but I placed the camera on a ledge and selected one of the longer exposures (15 seconds?? I can't be sure) while trying not to shake the camera with my fingers.
I don't normally like weird buildings like that, but the Sydney Opera House, is a very nice looking building.
A view from my house, twenty minutes ago. Υou can see the mountain, some stars, the lights of a village (I mentioned how it was burned during WWII German occupation in a previous page), some city lights glow + humidity developing, and a single branch of a kiwifruit vine.
Good day for a nap.
I went for a bird walk today for the first time in weeks, it was nice. And I was surprised how many birds were out today, I guess because the rains just ended and in general they're down south here for the winter.
Anyway, this guy's feathers seemed to change from pink to black as he turned his head. I'd guess Anna's Hummingbird:
This guy is a first for me, whatever he is:
Go for it!
Think Pink
What're you lookin at?
Another new one to my lens:
It's a robin.
You know, you could use a good bird guide...
House Finch
Great photos Catfish. Sorry I couldn't comment before, I'm really busy this week.
Also I have nothing new to contribute due to the lack of time and the weather that always seems to get to miserable mode when I have some free time. Hopefully with the few days off next week I'll add something.
California Quail!
I love the shot of the snow-capped peaks, btw.
I was thinking that too, that I finally got an ok shot of one, but then I saw Gambel's Quail! Still a neat bird. Thanks btw.
You're right. I stand corrected. Merry Christmas!
On the top right you see the year the bands formed:
Thanks DD
And I have a question, if I'm using a flash, if there any reason to not use the lowest ISO possible (ISO 100 for me)? It seems like a given that if the subject is so well lit, I might as well get the least amount of grain possible.
Good question. I've been wondering that too, but I've been too lazy to actually experiment. Let me know when you figure it out, pls.
These were taken today:
The rowing team training
I always try to keep the ISO as low as possible, so with the flash given 100 is the usual setting. The most important thing when shooting with the flash though is trying to shoot with the highest flash sync speed i.e. the fastest shutter speed possible. This depends on the model of the camera, mine is at 1/250 seconds. That's because I try to avoid camera shake mostly.
There are possible overrides to this sync speed for some camera models, but it's best not to mess with them because this speed is set by the manufacturer based on the engineering of the actual shutter.
Are those starlings?
Yeah, I know your hardcore position on invasive species. I share it when it comes to most things, but I make an exception for birds. They are such fragile, highly-evolved creatures that I welcome everything. My father used to shoot bluejays. Those days are long gone. In recent years, the majority of bird species in NE have entered into a serious decline, and I blame chemicals and habitat loss way more than other birds.
I wasn't going to say anything this time.
The only birds I'm bothered with are those that have adapted too well in the human way of life, like those pigeons that plague city centers. These usually show little or no fear towards humans and share bad habits like jaywalking (seriously; I've seen several squashed by normally-driven cars)
Starlings I see maybe once a year, when they gather by the thousand and fly in intricate patterns. They do not stay in my home town. I don't know if they are invasive or not, but like Clam, I welcome the sight of unusual birds.
I'm also grateful for the small ones that live near my house. They are great at population-checking of insects and the like.
Here is an interesting article I read recently
Also, Clam is dangerous for birds. Well, clam traps.
Went a small ride today just to see snow. You know, because it's Christmas.
Unfortunately, I ran into battery problems before leaving home, so I picked up some AA batteries instead. They didn't work right, even though they were new.
I just found out that according to the instructions, they are not expected to work correctly when the temperature is lower than 20 C. Bummer.
Now I'm waiting 4 hours for the regular batteries to charge. Or really, waiting for the roast...
I want snow to frolic in!
I had to shovel a driveway full of heavy, wet snow today, and I still love it.
Snowing again, as a matter of fact.
Wow, I really like that photo for some reason Clam. It has video game-like ambience. Could be in Left 4 Dead or something.
Yeah, that's a really good shot. I wish we had snow here and I had nothing to do all day (except play in the snow of course).
a Buckeye
California Thrasher \m/
Very cool.
Time for another random cell phone camera dump.
Here's my cat relaxing in front of the first fire of the year.
My old RC car, a Tamiya Astute. I finally threw it out, as they don't even make parts for it anymore and it would need a lot of work, but I had to take some pictures first.
We went to conveyer belt sushi a few weeks ago. It was fun, and the sushi was surprisingly good.
The GF made these glitter pumpkins for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
My old RC car, a Tamiya Astute. I finally threw it out, as they don't even make parts for it anymore and it would need a lot of work, but I had to take some pictures first.
I've been looking at my snow-covered driveway the past few days wishing I had an RC vehicle to take pictures of.

I'm a huge fan of color. That's why you would have found me wearing fuscia pants to a business meeting yesterday, and then appearing on TV this past summer–during my summer of savings tour–wearing cobalt blue pants, a bright green shirt, and lemon yellow shoes.
Given my love of color, I was thrilled to see so many women at this week's Emmy Awards wearing brightly hued dresses.
You, too, may have found their fashion and color choices inspiring, but perhaps you don't want to shell out the thousands of dollars that they likely did for their dresses–if they had to pay for them at all. (Sometimes designers loan or give dresses to actresses to wear to help promote the brand.)
If you're like me, then you'll love this advice that I received from David's Bridal on how you can create your own Emmy look without breaking the bank. In fact, even though you might think of David's Bridal as a store for weddings only, it turns out to be a great place to shop on a budget for any special occasion dress–possibly, even the Emmy's.
Here are four dresses from David's Bridal that could rock and rival those you may have seen on the red carpet. All are under $200.
Zooey Deschanel aka The New Girl appeared at the Emmy's in a seemingly simply formal gown. However, she definitely achieved the princess look that she was going for by choosing a ball gown in a soft pastel color, just like this tiered organza ball gown ($189). It has a strapless bodice and ruching at the waist to flatter any figure. You can get this dress in five shades–from canary yellow to watermelon pinkish red to purple iris shown here.
Fall may have arrived over the weekend, but you never would have known that from the sunny colors that so many female stars choose for their Emmy dresses. From Julie Bowen to Julianne Moore to a pregnant Claire Danes–all Emmy winners–bright yellow, chartreuse, and orange were shining all over the awards show. Check out this David's Bridal version of those dresses, a strapless satin a-line gown in sunny sunbeam: this satin slim gown has a stylish ruched bodice and a chiffon pleated side drape that goes over the tummy area, giving the dress a flattering look. This dress is priced at $159, comes in 43 colors–from sunbeam yellow shown here to tangerine orange (the 2012 color of the year, fyi)–and sizes 2 to 26.
You can never go wrong at a formal event with a red-hot dress in fiery red. Just consider the red-hot stunner that actress Kat Dennings, from the CBS Show "Two Broke Girls," wore to this week's Emmy awards. For your own red-hot look, you may want to try on this strapless, chiffon full-length dress that seems to hug you in all the right places while, with its empire waist, it flows away from the body in all the right places, too, to hide any flaws. (This dress also looks like one Claire Danes could have worn.) This dress is in apple red but is available in 44 other colors as well including sangria and persimmon. It costs $159.
Jane Krakowski, Amy Poehler and Kerry Washington all took sparkle to the next level in allover sequin stunners at this year's Emmy Awards, and now you can too in this fabulous frock! And who says that all dresses have to be full length to be fabulous? Christine Baranski, known for her role on "The Good Wife" but who will always be Leonard's mom on "The Big Bang Theory" in my mind, wore a glittering shorter dress, to rave reviews (thank you Go Fug Yourself). The David's Bridal-version comes in bronze with all over sparkle and costs $159.
I just went to my cousin's wedding and spent about $160 on a new dress, which is a nice dress and all. But for the same money it seems I could have gotten a really fabulous dress. So the next time I need a special occasion dress, I'm going to check out my local David's Bridal. What about you?

When it comes to the budget, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday that quality is more important to him than timeliness, hinting that he would force through his proposal if lawmakers can't come to an agreement with him before the March 31 deadline.
Appearing on public radio's The Capitol Pressroom, Cuomo said the budget "doesn't need to be early from my point of view."
"I would like to see it on time if we can. Most importantly I want to see a good budget," Cuomo said. "Whether we get it done on time or not is less important to me than whether or not it's a good budget."
Cuomo continued:
"I'm insisting on a budget that is good for the people of this state. If it's on time, it's on time. If it's done with the Legislature amicably, it's done amicably. If it's done through extenders, it's done through extenders. What's most important is it's a good budget."
If a budget isn't passed by April 1, Cuomo could put his own proposals in an emergency budget extender, which would give the Legislature the choice of succumbing to his budget or shutting down state government.
Cuomo said his focus in budget negotiations has been on the creation of a $15 billion infrastructure fund, which would include both state and private investment. He has also pushed for $1 billion in state investment in the city of Buffalo, which lost 10 percent of its population from 2000 to 2010, according to census figures.
When it comes to setting up a health care exchange to comply with the federal Affordable Care Act — which Senate Republicans have balked at — Cuomo said he would have more to say as the budget process draws to a close.
"It is very important to get a health exchange," Cuomo said. "I'm working very hard to get the Legislature to pass it. There are other options if they are unwilling to pass it, and I am exploring all options."

Mel B: Sydney Boating Babe
Taking to the spectacular seas, Melanie Brown showed up on a boat in Australia's Sydney Harbor earlier today (December 26).
Joined by a few friends, the Spice Girls gal geared up for the start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and enjoyed the fresh ocean air and sunshine.
And of course, Mel B was dressed for the occasion, sporting a beautiful blue tank top paired with white trousers and a pulled-back ponytail hairstyle
In a recent interview, Brown opened up about her relationship with Victoria Beckham, which has traditionally been a bit rocky.
She gushed, "You know what? Me and Victoria are fine now. It's like any relationship with her and me. We fight, we argue, we make up... it's always been like that. It's been like that with all five of us over the years."

I came across a major issue with jQuery (1.3.2) and Google Chrome 4.0 beta today. I'd been testing my company's web application (for which I'm the primary frontend developer) with Chrome 3.0x, and it was working fine. After a sudden influx of chrome bug reports from someone using 4, I updated to that. And suddenly, nearly nothing worked.
After a fair bit of futzing around in my code and the jQuery core library, I discovered that in chrome 4 in certain cases (probably in large apps), the
DOMContentLoaded event was never sent to the core jQuery library. To test this, I inserted a couple of lines into the file you saw above:
3052 if ( document.addEventListener ) { 3053 // Use the handy event callback [ins] alert("jQ adding listener for DOMContentLoaded"); 3054 document.addEventListener( "DOMContentLoaded", function(){ [ins] alert("jQ received DOMContentLoaded event"); 3055 document.removeEventListener( "DOMContentLoaded", arguments.callee, false ); 3056 jQuery.ready(); 3057 }, false );
Both alerts show in FF, but only the first does in chrome. However, I found I could add my own and have them called.
Now, since the chances are you're on this page because you googled for a workaround, here it is:
Google Chrome 4 beta jQuery document ready fix plugin
What this plugin does is first test to see if the browser is chrome 4, and if it is, then it adds another event listener for DOMContentLoaded, which will run even though the main jQuery one mysteriously does not. This calls jQuery.ready function (which is what is used to run through jQuery.readyList, the queued functions array).
We now have two chances for jQuery.ready to be called, therefore a potential race condition. To avoid this, I rewrote jQuery.ready() to null out jQuery.readyList before cycling through the queued functions.
I still have no idea what's causing Chrome 4 to fail on this. A test of document.readyState right after I added $(document).ready() shows that it is "loading", so the problem isn't that it finishes before adding the event handler or enqueueing the function.

Oscar De La Hoya Admits Drag Photos Are Real
Source: CNN
Remember those scandalous photos of boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya wearing fishnets and lingerie from 2007? And how he insisted they were fake? Well, the boxer is finally admitting it's him in those pictures, reports the New York Post.
In an interview with "Aqui y Ahora" (Here and Now), a news show on Univision, the "Golden Boy" owns up to the cross-dressing images after all these years, and places the blame on a combination of alcohol and cocaine.
"Let me tell you, yes, yes, it was me [in those pictures]," he told the show, saying he was under the influence of alcohol and cocaine when the pictures were taken.
"I am tired now of lying, of lying to the public and of lying to myself," says De La Hoya, 38, who checked into rehab in May. He's been sober for more than three months.
At his lowest point after the photos leaked, De La Hoya succumbed to dark thoughts, and considered suicide.

Alan Cumming and Jamie Chung Awarded for Acting Chops at the 2012 Seattle International Film Festival – Complete Winners List
Alan Cumming (above) and Jamie Chung (below) snuck in and stole the best acting categories at the Seattle International Film Festival this weekend.
The largest film festival in North America saw Cumming's "Any Day Now" – the audience award winner at Tribeca – also take that award again in Seattle. The film, based on the true story of a gay couple attempting to adopt an abused Down's Syndrome child in a society not yet ready for adoptions by same-sex couples, by actor-turned-director Travis Fine has resonated powerfully with audiences wherever it's played.
"Eden" by Seattle filmmaker Megan Griffiths, took the festival's prize for best of the Northwest, and showed strongly in all categories, landing a runners-up prize for Matt O'Leary and the best actress nod for Jamie Chung. Chung shows a brave side to her acting that surprised many at the festival, who are too used to seeing the actress in under-utilized 'hot-girl' roles in "Sucker Punch," "The Hangover Part 2″ and "Sorority Row," and whose first acting credit is simply as "Hooters Girl" in the underwhelming "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry." The film should provide a springboard for those looking to cast the actress in work that demands serious chops.
On the documentary side, Kirby Dick's "The Invisible War" took the audience's top prize – you can check out our interview with Dick here:
HBO's "Ethel" took the 3rd runner-up position, and you can check out our interview with Ethel Kennedy and her daughter Rory here:
For the official word on all the winners and all the runners-up, check out the festival's list below. Congrats to all from Celebs.com:

Those knives were tools used everyday to support a family. The men who carried these treasured knives were our great grandfathers,our grandfathers, and our fathers.

As the truths are engraved upon our knives, may they also be found engraved upon our hearts.

Government announcement will change lives significantly
Government announcement will change lives significantly
The head of the Christchurch-based Southern Cochlear Implant Programme says today's announcement of extra funding for cochlear implants will significantly change the lives of children with profound hearing loss.
The devices are similar in size to high-powered hearing aids. They help people who gain little or no benefit from standard hearing aids by transforming speech and other sounds into electrical energy that stimulates auditory nerve fibres in the inner ear.
Under current policy, children with severe to profound hearing loss in both ears receive one funded cochlear implant. But from July newly referred children will be offered two funded implants, and children under six who currently have one device will also be offered a second.
Neil Heslop, the General Manager of the Southern Cochlear Implant Programme that serves profoundly deaf children and adults in the Lower North Island and the South Island, says it is a significant announcement.
"While the majority of children do extremely well with a single implant, the benefit of having an implant in each ear is significant. Some families have chosen to fund a second implant themselves. But with each implant costing between $45,000 and $50,000, no more than a quarter of our families have been able to afford it."
Heslop says families who have funded a second device themselves will not begrudge the new funding, as they know the benefits of two cochlear implants. He is delighted that the Government announcement includes funding for free repairs and batteries for these families.
"We know how effective cochlear implants can be and it is always a delight to see the impact they have on our patients who, literally, hear things differently for the first time in their lives in many cases."

There is one enormous lesson you will learn in life and indeed in the music industry: finding someone you trust is like gold dust.
That could not possibly be, when they work so long and hard for a pinch of gold dust, declared the college instructor.
I had been used to see the men about me lick the dust at my feet, for it was gold dust.
The Chinantec caziques then ordered a number of the inhabitants to repair to the river, to wash the gold dust from the sand.
The gold dust and the dust of the road, could they withstand a drop of rain?
So saying, he slammed a sack of gold dust of the size of a bologna sausage down upon the bar.
To think that they were going to walk off with two or three grains of his gold dust!
As a result of the six months of hardship and work they had about twenty-five ounces of gold dust.
The payment of many transactions had been in gold dust or nuggets.
What do we know of work and trade, we that scramble for gold dust in London?

Target: Hon. Frances Johnson-Morris, Liberian Minister of Justice
Goal: Outlaw female genital mutilation in Liberia.
The Sande society is a female secret society in Liberia who promotes and performs female genital mutation (FGM) as part of an initiation rite into womanhood. Over 58% of Liberian women have undergone FGM, and some of them have been kidnapped and forcibly subjected to FGM. In 2010, Ruth Berry Peal was kidnapped and forced to undergo FGM, and filed a lawsuit against Sande members.
While the women were found guilty of kidnapping, felonious restraint, and theft of property, and were ultimately sentenced to three years imprisonment, they appealed the judgement and were released on bail. There is currently no hearing date set, reportedly because of a lack of resources allocated to prosecuting this case.
FGM is a horrific practice that is usually performed without anesthesia, and involves removing much of the clitoris and labia. Communities who perform it believe that it reduces a woman's libido and that it is necessary to ensure pre-marital virginity. It is also believed that it empowers a woman by making her a matron, and cleansing her of male body parts. In reality, it can lead to fatal hemorrhaging, cysts, recurring urinary and vaginal infections, chronic pain, and obstetrical complications.
In November 2011, The Liberian Government asked Sande leaders to stop FGM, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a notice to all Liberian counties stating that all Sande activities would be shut down and that violators would be prosecuted. However, it is estimated that since then, over 750 girls have undergone FGM encouraged by Sande members. The government has failed to intervene further.
Sign the petition below, and ask the Liberian government to interfere with Sande activities, and make good on their promise to prosecute the members of Sande for continuing with FGM practices. Ask them to set a date for the hearing to conclude Ruth Berry Peal's case and to stop allowing this horrific violence against their women.
Dear Hon. Frances Johnson-Morris,
Female genital mutilation is a horrific practice that leaves women with more than just physical scars. Sande members in Liberian have continued to kidnap and force girls and women to undergo the practice, even after your government has asked them to stop, and yet the government has done nothing further to prosecute them. Furthermore, the women who kidnapped Ruth Berry Peal and forced her to undergo FGM are walking free, with no prosecution in sight.
I am asking you prosecute these women who commit violence against their own gender. FGM will never empower women, only further enslave them. Prosecute the Sande members, and show Liberian women that they don't have to be mutilated to be empowered.
[Your Name Here]

Features and benefits
* Specifically formulated to release slowly over a sustained 8 hour period, ensuring that vitamin C is available when you body needs it. The sustained release system used by Blackmores is based on a unique plant gum matrix, using guar gum from the seeds of a legume.
* Contains citrus bioflavonoids extract to boost its action in the body
* Low-acid formulation buffered with mineral ascorbates makes it gentle on the stomach
* Helps to reduce the severity and duration of colds
* Supports skin suppleness and elasticity via its role in collagen production
* As a potent antioxidant it helps to reduce the risk of cell damage attributed to free radicals
* Promotes wound healing
* Helps to maintain capillary health
How it works
The human body does not manufacture its own vitamin C and so it must be sourced from our diet. Stress of all kinds, including ill health and emotional stress, increases the excretion of vitamin C from the body and therefore raises the need for this vitamin. If dietary intake is low or an individual's need is particularly high, vitamin supplementation may be of benefit.
Vitamin C is involved in hundreds of biological processes. It is important in immunity as it is involved in the function of white blood cells and antibodies. It is beneficial when dealing with the symptoms of the common cold.
Vitamin C is involved in the manufacture of collagen, an important protein in the body. Collagen is a structural protein found in cartilage and tendons, and it helps to support blood vessels. Due to its role in collagen manufacture vitamin C is necessary for wound repair.
Citrus bioflavonoids have been shown to improve capillary function by reducing fragility of capillary walls and improving capillary permeability.
Adults - Take 1 tablet 1 to 2 times a day with meals, or as professionally prescribed.
Children 4-12 years - We recommend Blackmores Bio C Chewable 500mg.
Not to be used by children under 4 years of age without medical advice.
Contraindications and cautions
* Consult your healthcare professional before use if you have had renal calculi (kidney stones). Ascorbic acid may increase the risk of recurrence of calcium oxalate calculi

|Northcutt, Gideon finish 1-2
|From Staff Reports
April 1, 2004 -- BONHAM -- Seth Northcutt shot an even-par 72, good enough for a first-place finish, while teammate Dustin Gideon won on a playoff hole to finish right behind with a 76, as Sulphur Springs won Wednesday's Greenville Tournament at Legacy Ridge.
It sets up quite an interesting district tournament Monday and Tuesday, as the Wildcats return to the site of their good fortune.
Northcutt was 1-under par with three holes to play and hit his drive through a dog leg into a hazard to move back to even par. He shot a 38 on his first nine (which was actually the back nine due to a shotgun start) and finished with a 34.
Caleb Beck finished eighth with an 80, while Chase Helm and Hutton Harris added an 86 and 88 respectively.
Sherman teammates Aaron Capps (76) and Jeff Dick (78) were third and fourth. North Lamar golfers John Ross Fowler and Eric White also shot 78s along with Greenville's Chris Hayen. Bearcat twins Scott and Stewart Murray shot identical 80s to finish ninth and 10th.
North Lamar (317) finished behind SSHS, with Sherman third at 319. The Bonham A team was fourth with a 346, Greenville fifth with a 348 and Paris sixth with a 357. Rounding out the team scores were Farmersville (365), Community (372) and Bonham B (425).
Wildcat head coach Doug Evans said it was an exciting day and feels a repeat of Wednesday's effort would give the team an excellent shot at advancing to the regional tournament April 19-20 at Robson Ranch in Denton.

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon's Sydney Arrival
Making their rounds in the Land Down Under, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon flew into Sydney, Australia on a private jet early this morning (January 2).
Greeted by a crowd of fans and press, the "Emotions" singer and her hubby brought twins Moroccan and Monroe along for the trip and looked to be in good spirits as they deplaned.
Yesterday (January 1), Mariah performed a New Year's Day concert in Australia's Gold Coast, kicking off 2013 on a high note.
Carey and Cannon have also enjoyed the sights during Mariah's time off, including a yacht tour of the Great Barrier Reef.

We can't get enough of baby George!
The tiny prince had an official playdate today – dubbed his "first royal crawl-about" by the press – and it was, in a word, adorable. George joined 10 other babies his age for some fun at Government House in Wellington, where he's spending some time with his mom and dad.
Already living up to mom Kate Middleton's fashion icon status, George's cute little sailboat suit, which retails for $129, is flying off the shelves. Not to be outdone, the Duchess' black-and-white Tory Burch dress has completely sold out.
Prepare to be overwhelmed by cuteness…
"It's madness, there are babies everywhere," said Prince William, echoing the sentiments of any parent who has spent time in a room full of crawling kids. Kate, meanwhile, talked – what else? – baby milestones with the other moms and dads, noting that George has started teething and is a little possessive of his toys.
Speaking to interviewers after the event, the other parents dished that all of 8 months old, the future king is extremely advanced.
"Different children develop differently but George is very advanced for his age," says Sheila Lemalie, who was there with her son Tagiilima. "He was crawling and wanting to walk in an advanced way – more so than my son who is younger than him. George is trying to walk – he can pull himself up and he is almost there."
There was always talk of "advanced" babies on my BabyCenter birth clubs: The ones who rolled first, babbled first, sat up first, crawled first. Let's be honest, when they're that age, every tiny accomplishment seems pretty miraculous. My daughters, bless them, were not advanced. They talked later, walked later, barely crawled at all. My oldest had a pretty impressive pincer grasp, though, if I do say so myself. The good news? They're now 4 and 8 and they're sitting up just fine.
As for George, he already seems to be a little heart-breaker, doesn't he? A little Prince Charming!
Was your baby advanced, too?

Candles Keep the Home Fires Burning
A new study from the National Fire Protection Association finds that candles are becoming an increasingly common cause of home fires. After declining for years, candle-related home fires started increasing again in 1991. What is the explanation for this fire-alarming trend?
Candles are currently used in 7 out of 10 American homes. Sometimes, it is because there is no electricity available. Reasons for lack of electricity include being in a rural or isolated location, not paying the electric bill or downed electric lines due to inclement weather such as wind or ice. But in many cases, candles are used simply for decoration or celebration. Candle fires are most common in December when the days are short and candles are a part of holiday decorating rituals. Another factor is that the public is encouraged to use colored and/or scented candles in the home to set a mood or create a special atmosphere, for example, romance, relaxation, less stress, etc.
Comment: You won't be relaxed and in a romantic mood if a candle starts a fire in your home! An astonishing 40% of home candle fires start in bedrooms. In spite of what those decorators say on the television shows and in magazines, it is probably not a good idea to have candles in bedrooms.
Personal Note: We live in Florida and just experienced Hurricane Jeanne. Because of falling trees, we were without electric power before, during and after the storm. We used batttery-operated light sources when we were moving around the house but we did use candles at times, for example, while preparing and eating meals. But we never carried any candles into the bath or the bedroom. We did not want to add a house fire to the rest of the damage caused by the hurricane.

I love changing out these metal signs for the holidays but I think I'm ready for something new in this place. Just not sure what yet.
These S&P shakers are from Cracker Barrel a few years ago.
Dining Room
Cheapest and fastest garland there is. Bakers twine with heart doilies.
This subway print is from HERE.
On the mantle the only think I added was some gold hearts. I found them in my Christmas ornament box but kept them out for Valentine's Day. I hung them on clear command hooks.
I also added one on the chalkboard behind the sink.
I think I kept it kind of simple this year which is fine by me. I'm not sure what possessed me to have a Valentine party with Westin's party in March and Reagan's first birthday in April. At least it will be fun to party! :) I'm so excited to start planning their birthday parties!
