It started with a love letter, more than 100 years old, that Judith Morgan found tucked in the pages of a book recovered from a Gallatin mansion that had been demolished decades earlier.
Morgan began doing some research and discovered that the woman who received the letter and the man who had sent it eventually married – but only after a courtship that lasted more than 20 years.
Morgan, a retired state employee, kept digging until she had discovered details about the lives of the mysterious couple, their families and their town's place in some of the country's most significant historical events.
Those details emerged in Morgan's book, "The Lost World of Langley Hall," which is the subject of an upcoming free workshop sponsored by the Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA).
At the workshop, Morgan will discuss how her chance discovery of the letter launched a research project chronicling the lives of the Trousdale and Allen families from 1853 through 1952. While delving into the lives of those two prominent Gallatin families, Morgan learned details about other town residents who played prominent roles in the wars and other major national events of the era.
At the workshop, titled "Researching and Writing 'The Lost World of Langley Hall,'" Morgan will also discuss how she used resources at the State Library and Archives to assist in her research.
The workshop will be held Feb. 15 from 9:30 a.m. until 11 a.m. in the auditorium at the State Library and Archives building. The building is located at 403 Seventh Avenue North, directly west of the State Capitol building in downtown Nashville.
Although the workshop is free and open to the public, reservations are required due to limited seating availability in the auditorium. To make a reservation, call: (615) 741-2764 or e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Parking is available in front, beside and behind the State Library and Archives building.

CNBC has posted a transcript of Maria Bartiromo's interview with Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Near the end of the interview, Schmidt makes some comments about Google's ambitions in the enterprise sector:
Corporate customers have a much higher need for reliability, so we'll sign an agreement that guarantees a certain level of service. But then we charge for it. So that's a case where people are willing to pay for something which is free without the level of reliability. They also need greater security, for all the obvious reasons. And they also need better integration with all of the other services that their companies have. This is a long process. It's not a fast process. But it's very deeply valuable. And those customers we will have for 20 or 30 or 40 years as they build into our model. We like that model. It's an enterprise play. It's a business that I've been in for a long time, and one which will ultimately be very, very lucrative through Google.
Schmidt doesn't sound as though they're in any hurry. Google is clearly thinking long-term, and thinking big. Google watchers will find the entire interview at CNBC.

There are also remains of a mural painting of St. Christopher on the north wall, and of others on the wall above the rood loft.
Every parish that could afford it seems to have had a rood loft and an organ in it.
Outside the church, near the top of the wall of a cupola-shaped finial of the rood loft turret is an old sun dial.
It has also been stated that the Gospel and Epistle, and various other parts of the service, were read from the rood loft.
Notice the quaint wooden gallery and the stairs to the rood loft, and also a stoup in good preservation.
Within, note in chancel, image brackets and defaced piscina; rood loft stair and window.
A set of angel musicians is sculptured on the rood loft of York Minster.
On the south side of the chancel arch is a rood loft staircase turret, of which both the lower and upper door remain.
The rood loft was now pulled down, and sold as old timber for 3s.
The beautiful high altar, the rood loft, the choir stalls, have long disappeared.

The person who wandered into Tate Modern and brazenly scrawled on a Rothko at the weekend committed a totally unoriginal form of art protest.
More creative defacements of valuable artworks (not that I'm recommending that anyone do this) range from peeing in Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" (which is a urinal) to vigorously kissing a Cy Twombly canvas while wearing red lipstick.
But whether you're jumping on Tracey Emin's unmade bed or graffiti-ing "Occupy" on a Damien Hirst sculpture, the causes of such "protest" will remain in the public consciousness for about as long as it takes to make the bed again or wipe the marker pen off.
Natural human clumsiness has claimed several far more dramatic (and eye-wateringly expensive) victims. Take a minute to think of the man who vomited on a Mondrian and another who put his elbow through a Picasso.
Here we round-up some of the most dramatic acts of art vandalism, both intentional and accidental.

text: Will it be worth buying 1 expensive watch such as Omega, or Cartier for 1500-2000? My other option is to buy 2 or 3 watches for under 1000. From such places as Hugo Boss, GUESS etc. Currently I already have 2 inexpensive watches 200-350 that are really nice but seem to wear fast. ( I do wear them all the time). My only thinking is that if I buy a more expensive watch it won't look worn out as fast and last me way longer. Is it worth going up in price when I could be getting a few cool watches for much cheaper. I'm not sure the average eye would know the difference between the two. Get the Omega or Cartier. Boss, Guess and those fashion watches are junk and will tell people that actually look at watches that you have no sense of style.


text: Is this the betamax case for digital files? As previously mentioned here, a Federal Judge in LA ruled in favor of Streamcast and Grokster, stating they are not liable for the actions of thier users. Andy Lack, the new chief of Sony Music, had an interesting take: "I'm relieved on some level because the judge affirmed everything we've been saying, but for one point, which may distract people from the real meaning of the decision," he told the NYT. In other words, he feels the decision affirms the music industry's right to go after individuals...but they plan to appeal, of course. Early buzz is that this will hasten the shift to rational digital distribution models for media companies. Let's hope so.

Fior Di Latte opens a brick-and-mortar spot in Boulder
Gelato at Fior Di Latte's new brick-and-mortar location.
Bryce and Giulia De Meo Licht had been talking about opening a location for their amazing Italian gelato in downtown Boulder for quite a while, and now -- after a lot of work and planning, including a Kickstarter campaign that netted the project $10,143 -- their dream has been realized: Fior Di Latte will open at 1433 Pearl Street as soon as tomorrow. It already hosted a soft opening this past weekend, where the excitement was contagious. See also: Fior Di Latte keeps things cool at the Boulder Farmers' Market
New for Fior Di Latte: pastries!
As I approached, a woman rushed out of the elegantly designed cafe exclaiming, "It's all free. The ice cream, the cakes -- all free. And so delicious. You have to try them." Inside, customers clustered at the counter examining the array of gelatos; others sat at the small tables; still more kept coming through the door.
Many of us were already devotees of the Lichts' gelato -- not ice cream, Giulia says firmly, but the true Italian treat. And their website explains the difference: Gelato is made from all fresh, natural ingredients -- as many as possible, though the Lichts order pistachios from Sicily and hazelnuts from the Piedmont. Their gelato contains none of the stabilizers and emulsifiers you find in commercial brands of ice cream, which means it has a short shelf life and has to be made daily.
Guilia De Meo Licht at the Boulder Farmers' Market.
That's one of the reasons you can't find Fior Di Latte in local stores, and why so far it's generally available only at the Boulder Farmers' Market. And it's also why so many Boulderites suffer gelato withdrawal when the market isn't in season, our tastebuds having been irretrievably ruined for the regular stuff.
At this party, of course, there's a glistening array of gelato on display, including pistachio, strawberry, melon,and a deep, rich chocolate; by opening day, Italian coffees should be available, too.
What's new from the Lichts is a spread of small pastries, each no more than a bite or two, and each more sophisticated than anything sold at any Boulder cafe since Amy DeWitt closed up her Cream Puffery some years ago. DeWitt now teaches at the Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, and it's no surprise to learn that Joanna Powell, the chef who produced all these perfect little treats with the help of assistant chef Caroline Patterson -- opera cakes, tiny diamonds of layer cake, miniature fruit tarts, cream puffs and wonderfully chewy, almond macarons -- studied with her there.
Caroline Patterson (left) and Joanna Powell.
Boulder boasts many first-rate coffee shops, but the Lichts are offering something new: dazzling treats served in an atmosphere that makes you nostalgic for Paris, old Vienna or Giulia's native Venice -- whether or not you've ever been to those places. Call 720-443-3467 for official opening hours.

quality problems. very cute bag. looks a lot duller in real life , but i didn't mind that. there were crazy amounts of strings coming off the bag, at first all appeared to be loose ones. then i looked closer and saw tons of piling (without me using it) and lots of embroidery coming undone. i wrote it off and decided to carry it for a day. the shoulder strap makes the bag extremely slouchy in the middle and hard to get into it and find stuff . when worn with the shorter handles it kept tugging on my shirt and moving around. i can't justify keeping it, especially for $200. thats an insane amount to pay for a bag that you could get in just about any dead head shop.
Hi lissasioux, I'm sorry to hear about your bag! Someone will be in touch with you about this! -Free People

Is it possible to have a necklift after and endarectomy? I would like this percedure but recently had the above surgery. Is a lift at all possible now.
Is It Possible to Have a Necklift After Endarectomy?
Doctor Answers 10
Surgery after carotid surgery
I ahve a little bit different element to address in your question then some of my peers. Of course, it is important that you underlying vascular disease has hopefully improved and that you have medical clearance for surgery. I think another important concern is the position of the scar and the resultant change in local blood supply. When you have multiple incisions in a small area, the skin between these incisions may become compromised. Waiting some time, like six months, will help this, but you should discuss this carefully with your plastic surgeon.

Neck lift after endarterectomy
A neck lift is an option after endarterectomy as is a face lift. It may be difficult to obtain good symmetry but can be done.
Neck lift after carotid artery surgery
Assuming that your underlying medical condition is stable and you are off blood thinners, there is no reason that you can not have a neck lift after carotid artery surgery.

Neck lift after a carotid endarterectomy
Once your carotid arteries are cleaned out of their plaques, you are placed on blood thinners usually and these must be stopped prior to a neck lift. If you had such "hardening of the arteries", atherosclerosis, in your carotid arteries, then you may have similar disease in other vessels and you may have cardiac risk factors that would preclude the use of epinephrine (adrenaline) in the local anesthetic that is used for the neck lift. You would need medical clearance by your internist or cardiologist or cardiovascular surgeon after they discuss your surgery with your plastic surgeon so they understand what would be involved with the neck lift and determine if is safe for you.
Neck lift after carotid surgery
A neck lift can be performed after you are fully healed, medically stable, and off of your blood thinners. You must coordinate with all doctors to ensure a safe outcome.
Is It Possible to Have a Necklift After Carotid Endarectomy?
Regarding: "Is It Possible to Have a Necklift After Endarectomy?
Is it possible to have a necklift after and endarectomy? I would like this percedure but recently had the above surgery. Is a lift at all possible now."
In a Carotid Artery Endarterectomy, a vascular surgeons cut the neck, exposes the carotid artery (which supplies the face and the brain), temporary closes it off and cleans is inner lining removing harmful plaque to relieve obstruction and prevent future death and stroke. After surgery such patients are placed on blood thinners to prevent clotting.
While cosmetic surgery is possible it should only be done after assuring that the other blood vessels to the brain do not pose a threat of stroke, that you can be safely taken off blood thinners for a few days and that you do not have any other medical conditions, such as heart disease, which may pose a threat.
Dr. Peter Aldea
Facelift after enarterectomy surgery.
Yes, if your vascular surgeon gives clearance for the procedure. I'm sure they would want to wait at least 6-12 months.
Neck lift following Carotid surgery.
Thanks for your question. In terms of being able to perform a neck lift after a scar from a carotid endarterectomy has been made, the answer is yes, it is possible. The bigger question is making sure you are healthy enough to have a general anesthesia. Make sure that you are given clearence by your cardiologist and vascular surgeon prior to going forward with an elective neck lift procedure.
Is a neck lift possible after endarterectomy?
Yes as long as you are cleared by your vascular surgeon and internist as healthy enough to undergo the general anesthesia and the 3 hour operation, you should be able to have the neck lift. The good news is that today there are minimal incision variations that can be a good option as well.
Learn more: http://www.drfpalmer.com
Yes, you should still be able to undergo neck lift
After carotid endareterectomy the important considerations would relate to your general medical condition and fitness for cosmetic surgery that should be determined by your internist in consultation with your vascular surgeon or interventional radiologist, whomever performed your endarterectomy.
Once you have fully recovered and are "cleared" to proceed, and assuming you would benefit by a neck lift, the plastic surgeon will discuss the details of the surgery with you regarding surgical planning and the potential postoperative differences that you may note between the normal side and the endarterectomy side.

Australia's largest manufacturer and distributor of four-wheel-drive accessories is riding high, clocking up its highest price in a year, of $8.49, on April 1. The high caps off a remarkable 14.29 per cent gain of more than a dollar so far this year, far outperforming the S&P/ASX Small Caps Industrials Index, which gained 1.95 per cent over the same period. An announcement that the stock would be included in the S&P/ASX 300 Small Caps Index is a boon for the company and a recognition of its recent growth.

Product Format test tube Type Strain no Comments not detected by Trichomonas vaginalis-specific PCR primersultrastructure Medium ATCC® Medium 802: Sonneborn's Paramecium medium Growth Conditions Temperature: 25.0°CDuration: anaerobic Cryopreservation 1. Harvest the cells from a culture that is at or near peak density by centrifuging at 850 x g for 5 minutes.2. If the cell concentration exceeds the required level do not centrifuge, but adjust the concentration to between 2 x 106 and 2 x 107cysts/ml with fresh medium. If the concentration is too low, centrifuge at 850 x g for 5 min and resuspend the pellet in the volume of fresh medium required to yield the desired concentration. 3. While cells are centrifuging prepare a 20% (v/v) solution of sterile DMSO as follows: Add the required volume of DMSO to a glass screw-capped test tube and place it in an ice bath. Allow the DMSO to solidify. Add the required volume of refrigerated medium. Dissolve the DMSO by inverting the tube several times. *NOTE: If the DMSO solution is not prepared on ice, an exothermic reaction will occur that may precipitate certain components of the medium. 4. Mix the cell preparation and the DMSO in equal portions. Thus, the final concentration will be between 106 and 107 cells/ml and 10% (v/v) DMSO. The time from the mixing of the cell preparation and DMSO stock solution before the freezing process is begun should be no less than 15 min and no longer than 30 min. 5. Dispense in 0.5 ml aliquots into 1.0 - 2.0 ml sterile plastic screw-capped cryules (special plastic vials for cryopreservation). 6. Place the vials in a controlled rate freezing unit. From room temperature cool at -1°C/min to -40°C. If the freezing unit can compensate for the heat of fusion, maintain rate at -1°C/min through the heat of fusion. At -40°C plunge into liquid nitrogen. Alternatively, place the vials in a Nalgene 1°C freezing apparatus. Place the apparatus at -80°C for 1.5 to 2 hours and then plunge ampules into liquid nitrogen. (The cooling rate in this apparatus is approximately -1°C/min.) 7. The frozen preparations are stored in either the vapor or liquid phase of a nitrogen freezer. 8. To establish a culture from the frozen state place an ampule in a water bath set at 35°C (2-3 min). Immerse the vial just sufficient to cover the frozen material. Do not agitate the vial. 9. Immediately after thawing, aseptically transfer contents to a 16 x 125 mm screw-capped test tube containing 12 ml of bacterized ATCC Medium 802. Incubate the culture on a 15° horizontal slant at 25°C. Name of Depositor TA Nerad References Madico G, et al. Diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis infection by PCR using vaginal swab samples. J. Clin.

Aggressive style helps Valley wrestlers advance to WPIAL
If Valley wrestlers are to find success Wednesday in the opening round of the WPIAL Class AA team tournament, they will need to make opponents wrestle at their pace.
"I don't think many teams can keep up with us," coach Steve Ansani said.
Tempo control is something Ansani, in his 10th year as coach of the Vikings, has preached to his team, and the tempo he wants is fast and filled with constant motion. He went as far as to describe a recent performance as "extremely aggressive" — exactly what he wanted.
"To win, we need to be aggressive on our feet and on the mat, keep pressure on the other wrestlers, and attack while maintaining position," he said.
Valley enters the WPIAL tournament with a 10-10 record overall and 3-2 mark in the murderers' row that is Section 3-B. The Vikings' only section losses were against fellow playoff qualifiers Kittanning, 39-31, and six-time defending WPIAL champion Burrell, 36-34.
The Vikings qualified for the WPIAL playoffs after earning a comfortable 46-13 victory over Keystone Oaks in the Section 3-AA fifth-place qualifying match last week.
"We did battle with Burrell and Kittanning for the section title, but fell short by a few points," Ansani said. "But we're expecting to do well in the playoffs."
Valley's opening opponent in the WPIAL tournament will be Section 1 third-place finisher Burgettstown. If Valley can defeat the Blue Devils, it will face the winner of the No. 2 seed South Fayette and South Allegheny in the quarterfinals, immediately following the first round. Both matches will be held at South Fayette.
The last time Valley made a run in the WPIAL playoffs was in 2009, when it reached the semifinals. Junior 126-pounder Pat Dewitt, ranked No. 1 in his weight class by Trib Total Media with a 21-6 record, thinks the team has a chance to equal, or even surpass, that success.
"Our goal is to get to states," he said. "It's really big for us to get a win. Last year, we felt really bad after we lost in the first round. We had a good team. I thought we could do it. But we're better this year."
Ranked No. 3 by Trib Total Media at 182 pounds, junior Terrell Fields (22-3) has been a force for Valley. Senior Josiah Hughes, junior Marcus Davenport and freshman Jihad Ratlif have also played key roles.
The Vikings aren't entering the playoffs unscathed. Dylan Clarke (14-5), a 170-pound junior, is out for the season with a dislocated elbow. Sophomore Colton Buzzard (4-4) has filled in capably in his absence.
Dewitt said wrestlers fully buying into Ansani's philosophy of speed, aggression and relentlessness as keys for the team's overall improvement.
And when the team buys in, Ansani said the sky is the limit.
"You have to wrestle your style," he said. "When you do that, you control your destiny.

Do you want any of the following typical vaccine constituents injected into YOUR bloodstream?
Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
Phenol, also known as carbolic acid (this is used as a disinfectant, dye)
Formaldehyde, a known cancer-causing agent
Aluminum, which is associated with Alzheimer's disease and seizures and also cancer producing in laboratory mice (it is used as an additive to promote antibody response)
Thimerosal (used as a mercury disinfectant/preservative) can result in brain injury and autoimmune disease
Neomycin and Streptomycin (used as antibiotics) have caused allergic reaction in some people.
Some vaccines are also grown and strained through animal or human tissue like monkey kidney tissue, chicken embryo, embryonic guinea pig cells, calf serum, and human diploid cells (the dissected organs of aborted human fetuses as in the case of rubella, hepatitis A, and chickenpox vaccines).
Flu vaccine is prepared from the fluids of chick embryos inoculated with a specific type(s) of influenza virus. The strains of flu virus in the vaccine are inactivated with formaldehyde and often preserved with Thimerosal, which is a mercury derivative.
Well, I refuse to put any or all of the above in my body, and I hope when your doctor starts telling you it's time for your annual flu shot or flu snort that you'll require him to defend the annual injection or nasal delivery....

LimmudLA Fest: Less is more
There are very few places where one could learn about the Jewish prison population, sing Kiddush with a Broadway legend and do tai chi — all in one weekend.
All of these topics were among those explored at the first-ever LimmudLA Fest, a retreat full of learning that took place Aug. 16-18 at the Brandeis-Bardin campus of American Jewish University in Simi Valley.
The Limmud concept was the same as always: bringing a diverse group of Jews together for Jewish learning opportunities that are equally varied. This year, however, the location was also part of the attraction for the 180 attendees.
Guests slept in cabins situated near rows of corn and surrounded by summer flowers in all shades of red and orange. The campground atmosphere, complete with ample sun and a pool, was well suited to participants looking for an environment that was as physically relaxing as it was spiritually engaging. (For a working journalist, however, the prohibition against writing during Shabbat made things a little challenging.)
The event replaced the annual LimmudLA conference, normally held in February. Past conferences were held at an Orange County hotel and had to attract around 600 people to pay for the expenses of the venue, according to Aki Yonekawa, event co-chair. This smaller Limmud took place without a paid executive director, relying entirely on volunteers.
Having a Limmud event at Brandeis-Bardin just felt right, Yonekawa said. At previous conferences, participants lounged on the floors of hotel hallways playing the guitar, giving the impression that a group of camp people had been brought into a hotel. Yonekawa said people used to approach her and ask, "Why wasn't [Limmud] at Brandeis?"
The result was a smaller event that allowed more spontaneity, she said.
"We were a little bit more organic. We could be a little bit more flexible."
Good thing, because some of her most memorable moments were not scheduled at all. Like when gospel singing teacher Sharon Alexander spontaneously led a song and everyone got to their feet and joined in. Or like when Theodore Bikel, the actor known for his numerous portrayals of Tevye in productions of "Fiddler on the Roof," performed in the fest's concert and led Kiddush. (He happened to be at the retreat as a participant.)
Limmud volunteers also took advantage of the change in scenery to suggest that presenters make their sessions more "experiential," Yonekawa said. One session devoted to the study of the heavens in Judaism ended with stargazing, something that would have been impossible with the light pollution of an urban hotel. Arrangements of flowers that guests picked from the garden decorated the tables on Shabbat, and the kale and tomatoes they gathered were served as a salad with lunch on Saturday.
Other elements of LimmudLA Fest strongly adhered to the values of the previous Limmud conferences, including the effort to welcome Jews from all backgrounds. Saturday morning saw people gradually emerge from their cabins in everything from summer dresses and khaki shorts to kippot and button-down shirts — all to attend an offering of services as diverse as their dress.
There was a mechitza service and a "traditional egalitarian minyan." In a small building with the doors thrown open to welcome latecomers and warm breezes alike, Jewish musician and songwriter Naomi Less and Storahtelling Inc.'s founding director Amichai Lau-Lavie encouraged participants to stretch, compliment their neighbors and sing along with drums and guitar in an alternative to traditional prayer called "Shabbat Morning With Storahtelling's Lab/Shul."
For those preferring textual analysis to prayer, Karen Radkowsky a founder and past president of Limmud NY, led a discussion about consumerism and Judaism. The discussion included a family with multiple generations in attendance, who shared perspectives on collecting possessions. A mother of a young teenager shared a story of back-to-school shopping in which the line between "wants" and "needs" was clearly subjective, while an older woman induced tears from the group by sharing her story of collecting photo albums throughout her life and passing them down through her family.
The relaxed setting of LimmudLA Fest did not prevent it from tackling tough, timely subjects in its study sessions. Gregory Metzger, who has worked with prisoners as the director of Jewish Committee for Personal Service, shared his experiences with helping release Jewish prisoners and helping them make a meaningful life for themselves while incarcerated.
He provided a bit of history as well, like how the cause of the first major crime wave among Jews in the United States was bigamy. Married Jewish men immigrated to America and then found wives while waiting for their original spouses to immigrate after them, he said. He also talked about how Jewish gangsters were involved in organized crime.
With plenty of sessions taking place each day — some simultaneously — there was plenty from which to choose. Or, well, there was always the pool.

Using Drupal 7.20, The latest WYSIWYG release has no more teaser break icon in the toolbar. I upgraded to the latest TinyMCE, which did not help.
The last version of WYSIWYG I had installed, which works, is here:
; Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2011-06-19
version = "7.x-2.1"
core = "7.x"
project = "wysiwyg"
datestamp = "1308450722"
I reverted to this last WYSIWYG release and the icon has returned. I know that there is a summary option in D7, but it is difficult to get people accustomed to using it. The teaser break is the best option for end-users, IMHO.
Thank you!

Ryan Votes for Pension Bill to Protect Workers' Pensions
Ryan Worked on Behalf of UAW and Auto Manufacturers to Reach Agreement that Improves Security of Auto Workers' and Retirees' Pensions
Wisconsin's First District Congressman Paul Ryan today voted for H.R. 4, the Pension Protection Act of 2006, which contains an agreement he fought for to ensure that auto sector employers such as GM will remain able to fund workers' pension plans. Over the past six months, Ryan worked closely with the United Auto Workers (UAW), General Motors (GM), the House Ways and Means Committee, and House and Senate pension bill conferees to reach this agreement on pension bill details. The UAW has announced its support for this pension legislation, which the House passed 279-131.
H.R. 4 incorporates the agreements reached during a House-Senate conference to resolve differences on earlier versions of legislation to strengthen the funding of pension plans, and the Senate is expected to pass it.
Since the House passed its version of pension legislation last December, including provisions that Congressman Ryan helped negotiate to protect auto workers' pension benefits, Ryan has been working to make sure that the final compromise version of the pension bill continues to protect workers' and retirees' pensions and enables employers to remain competitive.
"By working closely with auto companies and the UAW, we were able to reach a compromise that brings more security to the pensions of the tens of thousands of auto workers and retirees in Southeastern Wisconsin," Ryan said. "As Congress moved ahead to update these laws, we needed to protect workers' pension benefits and ensure that local employers such as GM and Chrysler can stay competitive, and this bill does that."

This set really brighten's up a room
By Celine
from Toronto, ON
This duvet set is not for "non floral lovers"---it is as if an english garden exploded onto the bed, in a good way. The colour combinations really jump out at you. The colours are quite vivid - more than what was shown on TV. The set will make any room feel charming whether it is a master or guest bedroom. The quality of the material is good. What I did when I opened the package is steamed the sheets to get out the wrinkles. Like any product that has been in a bag for a while - it's going to come out with wrinkles so don't be put off by that. Once I steamed the bedding, everything went on nice and crisp.I would by this brand again and would recommend it to a friend.

For the price, this duvet set with drapes and cushions is fantastic. Our bedroom now looks like a picture from a magazine - so elegant and inviting.The matching sheets are amazing - so soft and cozy. I would highly recommend this product.

I ordered this product after it aired on the Shopping Channel. When you receive the set in the mail you will find that the colours are very vibrant! If you want a fresh, spring inspired bed linen then this will be the thing for you. I love it! It really brightens up a room. Its great for a guest bedroom because it is very inviting.

By Betty O`Handley
from Chilliwack, B.C.
Received this duvet set and quickly put it on the bed as I was excited to get this purchase. When on the bed the set was brighter in color than it was on t.v. Also, I think it would be better in a childs room than a master bedroom. I got the primrose and looked like I entered a girls room. The material was not soft to the touch and had lots of wrinkles when I made the bed up. I was disappointed at the workmanship and quality so I sent this set back.
Birchtree Bedding

Made from cheap cotton. Had to iron all pieces before I could use them. Duvet cover appeared to have been washed and was very wrinkled. This product is over rated and I would not recommend it.

It was all over the back page of the New York Post on the morning of Game 2, with normally uncontroversial netminder Martin Brodeur at the centre of a mini-controversy.
All over comments on the New York Rangers shot blocking tendencies that went largely unnoticed in the aftermath of the New Jersey Devils' 3-0 loss in Game 1 on Monday.
"We might be able to hurt a few guys [by]hitting one-timers in the foot and their head or something," Brodeur said.
The article raised enough of a stink that the Devils goaltender, who is not speaking on game days in these playoffs, issued a statement through a spokesman that his "off the cuff" comment wasn't intended to be offensive.
"No one would think like that," GM Lou Lamoriello told Devils reporter Rich Chere. "For anybody who knows Marty, it's not an issue. People are looking for something. It's the playoffs."
It has been rather remarkable how healthy the Rangers have remained despite blocking some 20 shots a game, something that has been a core part of their game in winning nine of the 16 games required to take home the Stanley Cup.
If there's now an injury as the result of a shot, expect it to generate plenty of discussion over the "intent" of the shooter.
Obviously there's an "intent to injure" rule on the books already, one that comes with an automatic ejection and reads rather vague: "A match penalty shall be imposed on any player who deliberately attempts to injure or who deliberately injures an opponent in any manner."
Whether or not a shot aimed at another player's face would qualify isn't certain, but officials would likely get into a situation where they couldn't possibly tell if it was intentional or not.
Which makes one wonder: Are shot blockers simply fair game for whatever comes their way?
For their part, the Devils all said this wasn't a strategy they'd ever employed in the past or intend to going forward.
Instead, their game plan is going to focus on generating more traffic in front of Henrik Lundqvist and being less picky with their shot locations.
"They're boxing out well," winger David Clarkson said in borrowing some basketball terminology. "This is playoff time: We've got to battle harder than they are to get to those spaces."Report Typo/Error

Local buyers are tipped to again dominate the smaller end of the hotel market this year and more stock is emerging.
The market was rocked as the $20 million sale of Byron Bay icon Rae's on Watego's collapsed last week as a UK buyer did not complete his purchase.
Ray White Hotels managing director Tony Bargwanna said a new campaign to sell the property would start today as vendor Vincent Rae was still "very motivated".
Another group, the Sydney-based Linear Group, run by Henry Lechem and Trevor Morris, is taking a portfolio to market with expectations of about $50 million. The offer includes The Quality Hotel Apollo International in Newcastle, The Quality Inn HW Boutique Hotel in Port Macquarie and Canberra's Best Western Tall Tree.
CBRE Hotels executives Rob Cross and Andrew Jackson are handling the sales.
They said the Newcastle and Port Macquarie assets are among the best regional hotels to hit the market in recent years.
Tall Trees and the HW Boutique have been refurbished while the Apollo has not been renovated and had 44 rooms added in 2012.
There has been strong sales activity in the mid-tier and regional hotel market in the past 12 months, with close to $210 million sold.
The Leisure Inn Hotel Macquarie in Hobart was sold by receivers KordaMentha in December and the Peppers Anchorage in Port Stephens, NSW, just sold.

The local election season is finally here, and it's sure to be even more contentious than the recent national election that resulted in Monday's second inauguration for President Barack Obama. I love our local elections and all the fiery emotion they elicit, and I can't wait to see how the members of the so-called "civility initiative" handle themselves during what is sure to be another disappointing election season for them.
For those who aren't paying attention yet, all four of Aspen's sitting City Council members have said they're considering a run for mayor in May's election. I'm an avid City Council meeting viewer on Grassroots TV, and last week's meeting was one of the best I've seen in a while. All four of the mayoral wannabees were posturing and projecting their very best "look what a great mayor I'd make" personas. It was Aspen's version of "Must-See TV."
I have some pretty strong opinions on which councilmen are and are not qualified to be mayor, but I'll save them for a later column. What has my attention now is Mayor Mick Ireland's announcement that he may run for a seat at the City Council table, as term limits are forcing him out of the mayor's office after six years. Mick's announcement didn't sit well with his detractors.
Ward Hauenstein fired the first uncivil shot of the war with a recent letter to the editor ("Time for some new voices," Aspen Daily News, Jan. 10) in which he berated Mick for (gasp!) daring to volunteer for public service. Hauenstein attempts to make the case for Mick to "step aside" and let some as-yet-unnamed new people have a chance. He uses inflammatory phrases like, "Just when we thought there was light at the end of the dark tunnel of overbearing City Council leadership …" and, "The era of suppression of expression of divergent views through tactics of belittlement and scorn must end." He also compares Mick to Richard Nixon.
That may be the way it looks from where Hauenstein sits, but from where I (and many others) sit, it seems that the ones who are "overbearing" and using "tactics of belittlement and scorn" are the ones on his side of the imaginary aisle, and he appears to be volunteering as head attack dog this year. He declares, "Civility, respect and diplomacy need to return to City Hall," in the most uncivil and disrespectful letter I've ever seen from him. If he was trying to match Elizabeth Milias' and Marilyn Marks' level of bile in public communications, he certainly hit his mark.
But my favorite part of his letter, or nine favorite parts (I counted), is where Hauenstein repeatedly accuses Ireland of violating the law. That's a serious accusation against a sitting mayor, and if you don't bother to do your own research, you might believe his rant. He writes as though it's fact and not his own unfounded opinion based on a rabid hatred of Mick. In three paragraphs plus one sentence, he accuses Mick of breaking the law, or intending to break the law, nine times.
The truth is, there's no law that forbids a mayor from running for City Council after leaving the mayor's office. Period. As much as Hauenstein and others may not like it, it's Mick's choice to run for City Council if he wants, and it's the voters' choice to elect him if they want. Which brings me to my second favorite part of his letter, where he says, "The era of imagining what the law is and demanding everyone follow those fictitious laws must end," to support his belief that Mick should follow the fictitious law Hauenstein himself dreamed up.
In essence, Hauenstein's position is that Aspen voters should have fewer choices on the ballot, not more. How that squares with an open democracy is anyone's guess, since he doesn't address that directly. He thinks Mick should "step aside" so some nameless, faceless citizens, who are somehow being kept from running due to Mick's potential candidacy (they're not), can have the seat he assumes Mick will win.
Keep in mind Hauenstein is the same guy who spent last year cage-fighting City Hall to kill the hydro project. Many questioned his motivations at that time. Was he really trying to "save our stream" that nobody was trying to kill? Or was he driven by a hysterical hatred for Mick and his policies? His current crusade indicates the later.
I wrote the preceding on Tuesday. As I edited it (a few hours past deadline) on Thursday, I saw the kinder, gentler Hauenstein's latest letter ("A piece of fowl pie," Aspen Daily News, Jan. 24) in which he apologizes to Mick, council and the people of Aspen for using language that was "offensive and uncivil." He stands by his view that Mick's City Council race considerations are against the spirit of the state constitution's term limits (they're not), and he promises to "… continue to express my views, but I will strive to always be civil and respectful."
I, too, stand behind everything I wrote above. But I also respect a person who's willing to admit when he's gone too far and apologize for it. I like to think of myself as someone who's the first to admit when I'm wrong, and we'll test that theory if I'm ever wrong about something.
In the meantime, it's nice to see anyone in this town willing to eat a big piece of humble pie when necessary. We've all had moments we wish we could erase. Hauenstein's apology is impressive and unprecedented in recent memory, and he deserves respect for manning up to his mistake. I doubt the rest of his cohorts are on board, or that it will change the tenor of local politics in any way, but maybe I'm wrong. Time will tell.
Doug Allen expects "Sick of Mick version 2.0" to hit the streets of Aspen any day now. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com [1].

AFP: McCain's Handwriting Shows He's Got a Volatile Temper
In today's "You've Got to be Kidding Me" segment, the presidential campaign is hotter than ever, and a major wire service began an article about the three candidates with the following:
Hillary Clinton is smart and forceful, John McCain is proud but has a volatile temper, and Barack Obama is a diplomat who deals well with different people and situations.
Did you get that? Let's review:
- Clinton -- smart and forceful
- McCain -- volatile temper
- Obama -- diplomatic
See any bias here?
Apparently, that didn't worry Agence France-Presse in its article Sunday concerning what can be gleaned about the candidates by -- wait for it -- analyzing their handwriting (emphasis added):
"Handwriting is a reflection of the inner personality. It shows a person's ego strength, how good they feel about themselves, their intellectual, communication and working styles," graphologist Sheila Lowe, author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Handwriting Analysis", told AFP. [...]
Republican John McCain's signature shows a proud, idealistic but impulsive, if not uncontrollable man, according to the experts.
Lowe saw impulsiveness and a "short fuse" in McCain's variable writing style.
New York graphologist Roger Rubin agreed, and also saw a powerful ego at play in the senator from Arizona.
"The unevenness of the rhythm reflects the unevenness of his temperament," Rubin said.
"The capital J is the largest letter, which shows his strong belief in his own ego. The size of 'John' overwhelms the size of 'McCain' -- this shows how distant he is from his family roots."
Get it, folks? McCain's volatile, impulsive, uncontrollable, uneven in temperament, and distant from his family roots.
Glowing praise.
Frankly, I've had enough of this nonsense. Those interested in what these "experts" felt about Clinton and Obama can do so on their own time.

Smokin' AcesDirector: Joe Carnahan
Cast: Ben Affleck, Andy Garcia, Alicia Keys
When a shifty magician turns state's evidence against a Las Vegas underworld heavy, the high price placed on his head sparks a fevered race to rub the snitch out and collect a tidy paycheck in Narc director Joe Carnahan's dark action comedy. Buddy "Aces" Israel (Jeremy Piven) is a small-time scammer who has somehow managed to get the goods on big-time mobster Primo Sparazza. Upon discovering that Buddy is about to deliver the evidence needed to get him thrown in jail for life, Primo takes out a sizable contract on Buddy that entices every two-bit thug, grizzled bounty hunter, deadly vixen, skilled assassin, and ladder-climbing Mafioso within a hundred-mile radius into taking a shot at the prize. Now holed up in his luxurious Lake Tahoe hideout with only two FBI agents (Ryan Reynolds and Ray Liotta) standing between him from a virtual army of money-hungry rogues, Buddy is about to find out just how far this motley crew of killers is willing to go in order to take him out and hit the jackpot. Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman, Andy Garcia, Alicia Keys, and Martin Henderson co-star in a bullet-strewn, ensemble crime comedy that never stops to reload.

smokin aces is pretty much snatch meets the crank series, it has the same idea as snatch, it was full of intense crazy action, and it was over the top to the point of absurd lol, and the last 4 and a half minutes where all the assassins get into a big fight with the security at buddy Israel's penthouse was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! lol
When I heard about this "dark comedy," I thought, well, if it is funny I can put up with all the gunplay. The trouble is this movie was not funny. Lots of guns go bang and lots of people die, including several police officers, but not a single joke is fired off. The director and writer forgot to include the comedy part of this supposed "black comedy." What is left is distasteful, seriously distasteful. I mean what is the point of watching several non-corrupt policemen being blown to pieces by a 50-caliber sniper rifle? Are we supposed to be uplifted by the fact that the trigger person behind that particular weapon is a foul-mouthed woman with the hots for a non-singing Alicia Keyes? Wow, how far women have come in the movies. Now, they can curse and shoot just like men in mindless action movies have been doing for years. There are a couple of plot twists but who cares. Avoid this one like a loaded gun with the safety off.
Trying to keep track of the huge cast of characters, keeping their various allegiances to the plethora of participating assailants, requires a scorecard in the film SMOKIN' ACES. Writer/Director Joe Carnahan has style and the film's similarity to the many other cop/mob caper movies is evident, but Carnahan like to blitz the eye of the viewer with so much visual information (multiple tracks, quick scene flashes, unexplained flashbacks, etc) that when coupled with a soundtrack that is burdened with overlapping voices and very loud 'music' makes the story confusing. The last remnant of the Mafia lies in Las Vegas, and the FBI, various gangs, and detectives are out to either court the supposed willing informer, lounge comedian Buddy 'Aces' Israel (Jeremy Piven), or kill him before he squeals his apparent vital information. Israel is hiding out in Tahoe in a penthouse papered with drugs, prostitutes, bodyguards, and pursing him are hired assassins, cops, FBI agents, and competing mobs. In the course of the film nearly everyone gets shot, tortured, killed, or maimed and the blood and set destruction are a primary ingredients. The large cast includes Ben Affleck (in a very quick role), Ryan Reynolds (who is actually the star), Andy Garcia, Jason Bateman, Alicia Keys, Ray Liotta, Peter Berg, Martin Henderson, Davenia McFadden, Loretta Wyman, Nestor Carbonell, Joel Edgerton and a host of others who parade by or die so quickly that their character names are difficult to remember. The script has moments of crude comedy, a lot of toilet talk, and an ending that tries to make the entire ride meaningful. It is worth a watch for the pyrotechnics of camera and sound work (and if the viewer has a high tolerance for violence), but renting it first to test your taste is advisable. Grady Harp
I thought Smokin' Aces was a really awesome movie. It had tons of action, good actors and a neat plot. Ben Affleck was a perfect choice to be in this movie because he can do a great job. Although, he died in the movie but he should have got Best Supporting Actor. All of the other actors I saw like Ray Liotta did good. This is one of the movies you should add to your collection. It is a real good movie.
The biggest "killers" of the film are timing and the editor's difficulty in trying to show all things at once over the course of the entire flick. The characters are great and the story was simple, but the film didn't keep the focus on piven's character. This is a cool flick with some really great scenes, but the cow was milked too much to make it a really great film. Other work by the director are similar in terms of quality, in that acting and a few great ideas offset each film's expositions.

The administration's own health department, in a devastating analysis, warns of rising costs, shrinking benefits and a long-term health care "death spiral." "Reform" has been pronounced dead.
When even the liberal Washington Post warns that congressional Democrats, in trying to save their increasingly unpopular health reform bill, are sneakily making it more like European-style socialized medicine, it means the death watch is on.
The president can talk about enactment before Christmas all he wants; the fact is that the more that information gets disseminated about this ever-shape-shifting nightmare of a plan, the more the American people fear it. The IBD/TIPP Poll pegs public support at 41%; Gallup gauges its popularity at just 35%.
Now comes the final, fatal blow: a report from the chief actuary of the Department of Health and Human Services' Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that says health "reform" will mean the opposite of its advertised promises.
But isn't it all worth it to insure the uninsured? Actually, after Congress and the president get through wrecking the finest health care system in the world, there would remain "an estimated 24 million" Americans still without health insurance 10 years from now.
Think of it: We're increasing health care costs in America, cutting services and "jeopardizing access" for Medicare patients as we accelerate Medicare's insolvency, setting up a new government long-term care entitlement that's doomed from the start — and after all that we still end up with 24 million uninsured!
Little wonder Rasmussen now scores the president's approval as only 44% — historically dismal for the end of a first year in office.
The White House is now so desperate to save face and pass something — anything — it wants Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to cut a deal with independent Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, a Democrat unsuccessfully targeted for destruction by his own party in 2006 for insisting that America win the Iraq war.
So Congress' "reform" is dead. Long live the real reform that its death can bring if ideas based on expanding freedom and consumer choice — not government control — are seriously considered.

Bio and Links
Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on February 20th, 1977, I quickly began to take interest in art, primarily with sketches and colorings. By the time I was ten years old I had an easel and painted, and when I was twelve I entered a small school of art in Mechanicsburg where I used pastels and different pencils for the first time and experimented with landscape and perspective styles. The next few years I added clay to my routine, and woodcarving as well. By the time I was fifteen I had studied architecture for more than a year, both structural and landscape, and was employed in the landscaping industry.
My interest in Digital Arts began to take shape at at age fifteen, when I began learning Graphic Arts in High School, where I first studied photography, printing, bookbinding, plate making, and PhotoShop. It was then that I aquired my first computer for home so that I could continue educating myself while experimenting with many different digital outputs. Soon thereafter I learned HTML and had my first website online in 1995.
With HTML knowledge, I was now able to reach a worldwide audience to share my work, while incorporating imagery, photography, and video as well. From that point on, I've continued to experiment with everything I have learned over the years while always trying to further my education by exploring new areas as well.
I approach any project with a completely open frame of mind, art is something that I feel from on the inside and the end result of my work should reflect that. I don't follow many rules or traditional methods, and I view everything as a canvas, for I feel everywhere is an opportunity to make art.

How to enable custom error messages on Microsoft IIS
This document describes how to configure the Microsoft IIS web server so that it will redirect common server errors - like 404 Not Found or 500 Internal Server Error - to a Perl CGI script for processing. Applies to IIS 4.0 and newer.
In order to configure IIS, you must:
Be an Administrator of the web server (or a member of the Web Site Operators group)
Have access to an IIS admin interface. The most common interface is the Microsoft Management Console, from an interactive session on the web server itself. That approach will be described here.
If you are mere IIS user without administrator privileges and/or without physical access to the computer, you will have to ask your administrator to take these steps on your behalf.
Follow these steps to add a custom error page to IIS:
Before you tweak IIS, first make an initial request to your custom error page using its direct URL. Make sure it displays properly. If your error page is a Perl CGI script or ASP file, and it is failing, then it will be very difficult to debug what is going on when other errors are redirected to it.
Also before you begin, request a file from your website that doesn't exist, like www.foo.com/no_such_file. Observe the 404 Not Found error handling: do you see a plaintext file like "404 Not Found"? Or do you see a pretty error message that someone else has already customized, perhaps one specific to your web hosting company? Or are you redirected to a special file, like www.foo.com/404.html? You need to know what the baseline behavior is so that you can evaluate the behavior later after you start tweaking things.
Use the Microsoft Management Console to open the Internet Information Services snap-in. On Windows 2000, you can select the My Computer icon, right-click, and choose "Manage".
Select your web site, right-click, and choose Properties:
From the Properties window, select the "Custom Errors" tab:
From the "Custom Errors" tab, scroll through the error codes to find the ones you are interested in. Interesting errors include: "401 Authorization Required", "403 Permission Denied", and "404 Not Found":
Choose "Edit Properties" for the error code you wish to customize. Select "Message Type: URL" and enter the path, from the root document, to your Perl CGI script:
Next, choose "Okay" / "Apply" to activate your changes. It is not necessary to restart the web service.
Finally, test the change by requesting a file that does not exist. Note that IIS will internally redirect to the Perl CGI handler, rather than returning a "302 Moved" response to client. The client will only see the output of the script. The internal request it makes to your Perl CGI handler will include a query string of the format "?ErrorCode;ErrorURL". In the example below, the internal query string "404;http://local.xav.com/no_such_file" is used (which our Perl script uses to customize the TITLE):

Daily Mail – Supermodel Hair Extensions
All eyes were drawn to an article in the Daily Mail on Friday. An amazing transformation using various high street products, most notably the hair extensions she used. She got her hair extensions from SuperModelHair.com and purchased the Clip-It 18″ hair extensions.
Here is what she had to say about the supermodel Clip-It hair extensions:
Supermodel Hair Extensions Review
Supermodel hair extensions, £49.99, Supermodelhair.com
WHAT IS IT? Clip-on hairpieces that add thickness and length — a favourite with celebs. Made from human hair, there are 14 shades so you can match your natural colour. Can also be dyed for a perfect match.
WHAT YOU DO: Backcomb the roots of a section of your hair and insert the clip. Repeat to achieve as much volume as you'd like. It sounds complicated but was so simple that it took me less than a minute to complete my new look.
RESULTS: The difference was so amazing that it made me bewail my naturally thin hair. The hair extensions gave an instant boost to my looks, but were also natural looking, easy to use and stayed secure. The colour was slightly different to my natural hair, but the lighter tones just added depth and body. No one noticed the clips. Catwalk here I come . . .
All details are available on the Daily Mail website here.

Kimball Bend Pecans, Inc. Records:
A Guide
Historical Note
Fort Worth-based Kimball Bend Pecans, Inc. developed and sold tracts of land planted in paper shell pecan trees to investors as a "promised land" that would provide a lifetime income greater than oil. The property was located on Davis Farm on Kimball Bend of the Brazos River in southern Johnson County. The company also maintained, cultivated, harvested, and sold the pecans grown at Kimball Bend on behalf of the buyers. The company operated from the 1930s through the early 1950s when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers acquired the land for the Whitney Dam and Reservoir Project. Corporate leadership included Arthur W. Glazier, secretary-treasurer; J. D. Berry, sales manager; and J. W. Soape, general superintendent.
Return to the Table of Contents
Scope and Contents
Correspondence, maps, photographs, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, printed materials. The Kimball Bend Pecans, Inc., Records are comprised of promotional materials including sales brochures, photograph albums, newspaper advertisements, newspaper clippings, and maps. A letter from J. Frank Norris approving Kimball Bend advertising in his The Fundamentalist newspaper, as well as correspondence between the Glazier family and various politicians discussing the federal acquisition of the property are also included. Researchers interested in Texas real estate promotions or the development of pecan orchards, particularly in the Depression era, will find this collection of interest.
