|Ikoma Noda
|Ikoma Shiro
Ikoma Noda was a courtier and omoidasu of the Lion Clan.
Family Edit
Noda had a younger brother Ikoma Shiro. [1]
Ancestors Edit
Noda heard his ancestors guiding him. [2] He believed that each soldier that marched under the Lion banner borrowed the strength of a thousand of his ancestors. [3]
Shiranai Toshi Edit
In 1169 Noda was the military commander of Shiranai Toshi. He worked alongside the city governor, the poet Ikoma Akiyama. [4]
March to Shiro Moto Edit
Noda was part of the Lion army that invaded Unicorn territory in 1169 in the march to Shiro Moto. He made a tale of the invasion of the tiny village of Watarimono, where the Lion commander Akodo Bakin ordered to execute his friend Kensaki, a ronin, who disobeyed his orders killing a local butcher for his money. [1]
Destroyer War Edit
In 1172 Noda was fighting in the Destroyer War near Ryoko Owari Toshi. His spirit was waning in the sight of the God Beast of Kali-Ma, a gigantic creature. At his side appeared Matsu Benika, the bearer of the Hand of the Jade Dragon, who encouraged him to fight for the victory. [5] The God-Beast spawned insect-like monsters that atttacked the Lion. Noda found a pattern in their movements and a counter assault was simple to devise. The Lion were able to use what Noda deduced to gain the advantage. Those men with wounds made by the God-Beast spawn suffering this long after receiving them, without the samurai being dead. The insect-like monsters secreted some sort of poison or other substance that entered the wound and caused a high levels of distress. [6]

Following the success of the PFE range of AC-DC full-brick power supplies, TDK-Lambda has introduced the PFE-S series with enhanced circuitry to improve lightning surge capability (up to 6kV) and line interrupt hold-up time. Like the existing range, the PFE-S series combines the AC to HVDC front-end with DC-DC converter into a single standard format, full-brick solution. In addition, the high efficiency of the units, which exceeds 83% in all versions, greatly simplifies the thermal design of the equipment in which they are used.
The fully-regulated PFE300S and PFE500S models are available in 12, 28 and 48V nominal outputs and can be adjusted over a ±20% range. The 12V versions deliver 396W with a maximum base-plate temperature of 85°C, while the 28V and 48V models provide 504W at 100°C base-plate temperatures (PFE500S). Line and load regulation is 0.4%.
The 12V output models of these integrated 2-in-1 PCB-mounted power bricks are ideal for Distributed Power Architectures because they can drive Point of Load (POL) converters directly. With no intermediate bus voltage needed the use of multiple low-cost, non-isolated POL converters in conjunction with the combined AC-DC module offers significant cost savings and improved efficiency.
The semi-regulated PFE700S can deliver 714W with a nominal output of 51V and provides a very high efficiency (up to 89%) AC-DC stage for powering regulated DC-DC converters for multiple output applications – both parallel and series operation are possible. Maximum base-plate temperature is 100°C, derating linearly to 85% load above 85°C. Line and load regulation for the PFE700S is 4V.
All versions of the PFE-S series have a wide-range AC input that allows operation from any voltage between 85V and 265V at 47 to 63Hz. As standard, they incorporate active power factor correction and input-to-output isolation of 3000V AC for one minute. Over voltage, over current and over temperature protections are included. All PFE-S models are delivered with TDK-Lambda's two-year warranty, are safety-approved to UL60950-1, CSA60950-1 and EN60950-1, and carry the CE mark.
TDK-Lambda is a subsidiary of the TDK Corporation (NYSE: TDK), a leading global electronics company (www.tdk.com). TDK-Lambda has been a major provider of power solutions for over 60 years. The company designs and manufactures a wide range of AC-DC and DC-DC power products for Industrial, Medical, Telecom, Datacom, and Test & Measurement applications worldwide.

text: Hello All! Please excuse me if I have posted in the wrong subforum or am following improper forum etiquette. I am still relatively new here. Just trying to make sure I'm not off my rocker when it comes to the following quote I received for a NEMA 14-50R install in my garage. A bit of background: I have two panels, each fed with [email protected] After doing my research, I assumed the quote would come in around $400-$700, as no panel replacement/upgrade is necessary (or quoted). Only the 50A breaker, ~15' of #6 wire, ~15' of EMT conduit, box, fittings, NEMA 14-50 receptacle, permit, and labor, are necessary, from my understanding. $1,231.47 + $100 permit fee seems excessive. Am I wrong here? What sort of range should I honestly be expecting for this sort of install? Any recommendations for electricians in the Atlanta (Gwinnett) area? Redacted Quote:

Iconic Form:
The design espouses a sculptural quality and simplicity of form. Visually dynamic layering creates richness adds to the subtly confident aesthetic.
Towers – Contrast and Unity:
Height and colour lend the two towers distinct identities while remaining linked through the use of a consistent facade system. There are physical links between the two towers in the form of a bridge link which integrated into the facade and garden spaces at ground level.
Human scale:
The building responds to the human scale through the integration of landscape and corporate signage into the facade design
The building is lit to enhance its dymanic, abstract and iconic image. The hanging gardens are lit to creata a dramatic effect and lighting of the ground floor podium serves to activate the public realm.

Cricket legend who called Tasmania home
In my car and absorbed by the radio coverage of the classic Australia versus India Test series, my attention was drawn to Glenn Mitchell's quiz question for the day.
As usual my cricket-filled brain tried to answer the question as I calculated the remaining duration of my car journey in the hope I would still be at the wheel when the solution came through.
What player played the most Test innings without ever being dismissed lbw?
The answer, Joe Darling. 60 Test innings, 58 dismissals and not once out lbw. We don't know how many appeals he survived!
Glenn's question rekindled my interest in this great player - a Tasmanian-based captain who stamped his authority on one of the great Australian teams 100 years before Ricky Ponting became the first Tasmanian-born player to lead the Test side.
In November 1999 in the Australia/Pakistan Test match at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, two great left-handers Adam Gilchrist and Justin Langer - steered Australia to a famous win.
Bellerive Oval lies on the banks of the Derwent river. A few kilometres upstream of the famous ground another great left-hander Joe Darling - would have looked on approvingly.
Darling died in January 1946 and is buried in the Cornelian Bay cemetery, a quiet bluff that reaches into the Derwent.
Few cricket fans realise that his grave lies a few minutes drive from the centre of Australia's southernmost capital.
Exceptional career
Darling played 34 Tests for Australia between 1894/95 and 1905. He toured England four times, three times as captain, and led Australia in 21 Tests, winning 7 and losing 4.
In the 1897/98 season he became the first left-hander to score a Test century, the first player to score 500 runs in a series, and the first player to score three centuries in a series. He scored 1657 Test runs at an average of 28.56.
Though he played his entire Sheffield Shield career for South Australia, Darling moved to Tasmania mid-way through his Test career.
Joe's father John, a staunch Presbyterian, did not really approve of his son's cricketing pursuits.
At the turn of the 20th century Joe was established as Australian captain and was running a sports store in Adelaide. Darling senior deemed such activities "infra dig" and bought his son, sight unseen, a 10,000 acre sheep property in the midlands of Tasmania.
So in 1900, at the height of his cricketing powers, Darling arrived at 'Stonehenge' - an unkempt, isolated property overrun by rabbits. He was 30-years-old, married, and with a team of children that would eventually number 15.
Between 1900 and 1904, Joe played 8 Tests without once playing for South Australia in the Sheffield Shield.
Legends of the game
Joe led Australia on the 1902 tour of England. It was a brilliant team, and don't the names resonate down the years? Trumper, Noble, Armstrong, Hill, Trumble and Gregory.
England had a team manned equally by legends of the game. Men like Jackson, McClaren, Fry, Jessop, Ranjitsinhji, Hirst, and Rhodes. Australia won an absorbing series 21.
As captain, Joe was a reformer. He moved to make the rule for a six a hit over the boundary, not out of the ground, and he pioneered the use of sawdust for bowlers run-ups.
Joe resumed playing with South Australia ahead of the 1905 tour of England. He was from the generation of Australian players who enjoyed the power to determine who ran overseas tours and how the profits of such tours were distributed, a happy arrangement with the Melbourne and Marylebone clubs who were the cricket powers of the time.
A new Board of Control was formed in 1905. The new body wanted to take this power from the players. Joe, with his fierce spirit of self determination, was appalled. He would later refer to cricket administrators as "dead heads".
Among Darling's protégés on the 1902 tour were Victor Trumper, Clem Hill and Warwick Armstrong, a trio who would be central figures in 1912's fearsome split with the Board of Control over the right of a team to appoint its own manager.
On retirement Darling returned to the midlands of Tasmania and to 'Stonehenge'. He had built a rabbit-proof fence around his property and developed subterranean clover, a superior form of feed, for his flocks.
But cricket was never far from his thoughts, and when he moved to Hobart in 1920 he played for the New Town club.
Joe became a member of the Tasmanian Parliament and, always with a wary eye on centralised government, he fought for the preservation of states' rights. He was the Tasmanian delegate to the Board of Control from 1924, ever keen to remind the rest of the country of Tasmania's contribution to the game.
Joe Darling died on January 2 1946, just 13 days after his good friend, Parliamentary colleague and team-mate from the 1896 tour of England, Charles Eady.
The old team-mates are buried very close to each other at Cornelian Bay. It's easy to imagine the roar from a full house at Bellerive rolling up the river and across the old graves.
Cricket Australia could do more to recognise the resting place of one of its great players. Joe Darling stands as one the most formidable players of his time, and as one of the great Test captains. His grave lies only a short drive from the main entrance of the Cornelian Bay cemetery. Some effort by the game's custodians to mark this grave would be a fitting gesture to a player whose influence is felt to this day.

Why, who and how one should help#
The why is easy to answer. A geographic database with reliable information including aspects of culture, anecdotal stories and pictures with good descriptions is certainly something everyone will want to use once in a while.
The who depends much on whether you see yourself as occasional user - almost everyone will be. Or whether you see yourself as someone who can possibly contribute because of your knowledge of geography, culture, the photos you have taken at various times, trips or events you have participated in, folklore you have picked up, etc. We want to particularly encourage professor and teachers of "English as a foreign language": In this context, students will often have to write essays that you will correct and judge. Why not give students the task to write an essay about where or how they grew up, some special event they remember, some experience they have had... and if the quality is good you send the story to office email@example.com @global-geography.org including name of student and your name as supervisor. You will be instantaneously world-famous . And if you include the name of your institution maybe it will be so proud to send you as delegate to the first global geography convention
The how has many sub-aspects, of which we will list a few.
(1) You may know a friend or colleague who would be interested to participate in the project and even join the GGC.
(2) You may want to read a bit about the country you live in or some other country you are familiar with and you may want to send comments, corrections, additions to office email@example.com @global-geography.org. Note in particular that under Culture every country has a list of famous persons. These list are often very incomplete. Just send us "Add the name xxx with the URL yyy to the famous person list of country zzz". We will be happy to take care of all this for you. In the geography part of each country you find a list of important cities and other entities. Just send the information you want to add with a link to a site where the entity is explained or shown!
(3) You may have a small set of pictures (2 - 10) of some special place or event: Do send them to office firstname.lastname@example.com @global-geography.org with a title and description and we will add them to the pictures of the country involved under contributed pictures as it has already happened e.g. with a set of pictures for France and Ireland.
(4) You may want to write a special story without or with some pictures, like on Swimming pigs or on How to hike in New Zealand or about Deep snow skiing in Canada or about the incredible city Shahara in Yemen.
(5) If the number of pictures is small, one way is to incorporate them into a world file and just send the file. Or you could just send a text file, pictures separately, and placeholders for pictures in the text like "Picture 1 here", "Picture 3457.jpg here" or such. Sending the picture separately is a good idea. No need to overdo resolution: Quite a few pictures of 1500 pixel converted into jpgs can be sent in one or more emails easily. Just make sure that pictures have solid descriptions. A picture does not need a description if it shows the same scene from different angles, but a description is a must for the first picture or when there is a complete change of scene. Please do not send attachments lager than 18 MByte. Larger sized collections we can uploaded in a variety of ways.
(6) If you have a treasure chest of pictures like say Gerhard Huber had them on the Philippines we should discuss how to deal with them by mail. Also, if you send pictures, let us know if they can be freely used or not, or if they can be used under some "Creative Common" license as is usual with pictures on Wikipedia. Note that you must not send us any pictures where you are not the holder of the rights to use them.
(7) In passing, we have also prepared sequences of pictures just on the basis of PPT presentations that were made available to us, as was the case with a part of Andalusia. Do not worry about embedding maps or such, we can do this for you.
(8) If you own the rights to suitable papers, brochures, or books or such and you have the material in electronic form (PDF preferred), we can convert them into nice looking "Web-Books" that one can browse through but not download, see e.g. web-books/imperialvienna001905iicm, and of course with English interface.
(9) So: Go ahead and help us and the world in a small or large way, maybe you can make statistics available to us so we can do something for your country that we did for Austria ... and I am sure you have many more ideas yourself.
(10) Let me finally point out that whenever you find an interesting URL of a Picture or a video-clip, please add it to the "Community contributions" that you find as button at the right bottom end of every page. How to do this is explained here under Community Contributions. However, youmay jsut want to sen the picure also by mail with your nmae, description, license etc. and we will do the rest. Our sucesful "philosophy" has been: we handle the first 5- 10 contributions for you, but if you don't run out of steam we will contact you and provide editing priviliges and instructions.

Idaho isn't only about potatoes, though buttery baked spuds make excellent sides to indigenous mains like lamb, steak, wild game, and trout. Sophisticated gastronomes can take advantage of the state's agricultural cornucopia, like locally sourced, organic produce and high-quality, grass-fed beef. And even the swanky establishments maintain a casual, small-town attitude (meaning, jeans are appropriate just about anywhere).

透氧率愈高愈好?含水量越高越保湿?随著隐形眼镜日益普及,works of 23 Taiwanese contemporary artists who,绝对不会想到把自己变的乖一点就有糖吃,/>
>>> 我的部落格 <<<
IMAG0573.jpg (164.99 己在乎的人一起分享较有品质的生活。ynasty master Huang Gongwang; Ming masters Shen Zhou and Tang Yin; Giuseppe Castiglione, the amalgamator of East and West who painted for the Chinese imperial palace; and the early Taiwanese modern art master Shui-Long Yen. Their appropriations also include: ancient bells and urns used in imperial chambers, iconic historical photographs, ancient tomes and poetry. Based on the subject matter of the appropriated works, the exhibition is divided into seven categories, harkening back to the classification system of dynastic China: Landscapes; Taoism and Buddhism; Human Figures; Tales of the Mysterious; Calligraphy; Flowers, Birds and Beasts; and Photographic Images. In this way, it examines the intentions of contemporary artists in appropriating these classic works, and the ways in which they have refashioned the past.
In Taiwan of the 1960s, the influential art forms arriving from the West were predominantly abstract and conceptual art. It was not until the 1990s that Western Dadaism and Warholian pop art began to have a significant impact. After the end of martial law in 1987, the pace of democratization in Taiwanese society quickened, and social attitudes gradually opened up. This was reflected in art with a broadening of thought and diversification of creative elements and subject matter. In "postmodern" society with its commercialization and mass reproduction of images, "classic works" and literary narratives became disengaged from their cultural contexts, losing their functions as palace decorations and sources of enlightenment. No longer was art the symbolically expressive, elite works of the traditional humanities. It had moved from the refined, gentrified classes of the past to the popular culture of today.
For the contemporary age, these classic works present richly beautiful, powerful images and a sense of mystery engendered by distance in time. Yet unlike dynastic-era artists whose imitations were based on the foundation of "reverence for antiquity," these famous works, after having undergone mass reproduction, ceased being rarely glimpsed works of the imperial court and became "images" that anyone could behold or obtain at a moment's notice. They had even lost the textures and brushstrokes of the original, existing in a "flattened" state. Ruminating on local history, cultural values and identity, Taiwanese contemporary artists made use of those artworks that once adorned imperial power and symbolized the tastes of the literati class, engaging in a dialogue with their own history and culture, disassembling, reassembling, re-creating and altering the styles and subject matter of classic works through symbolic or allegorical images in order to enunciate their views on the present-day state of affairs through simile or metaphor. These include: consideration and breakthroughs in aesthetics and forms of expression; criticism of the current state of Taiwanese society, history and culture; voicing of their own inner ideal worlds and feelings about life; and the transformation of the artistic tastes of the past to a popular, commercial aesthetic more closely oriented toward everyday life. At the same time, as contemporary artists re-examine and re-create classic works of the past, they also re-accentuate and rediscover the artistic accomplishments of the past in light of new definitions and the perspective of art history. As artists refabricate the past, amid this convergence of dual-directional observation, discovery, transformation and original creation, they yield a wealth of meaning and limitless possibilities of expression in the contemporary era.

My husband and I have a great relationship...I have 2 girls from my previous marriage and am 36 weeks pregnant now with his first biological child (although he sees my girls as his). This is the first time he has been with a pregnant woman, and I don't think he is attracted to me anymore. Not to get too personal, but he doesn't ever try on his own to initiate anything, and when I try, nothing happens (if you know what I mean).
When I mention it, he swears he loves my pregnant body and that he thinks I am more attractive pregnant...but his actions definitely say otherwise. I have dropped hints, I have sent some sexy texts to see if I can get the conversation going, but ... nothing. He just changes the subject.Ā I am starting to feel really bad about it and it just sucks. Anyone else have this issue? I read through the other posts of women who are still going at it- and I feel like I am the only one.

Since the instigation of our creation, the plants, flowers and trees have been beside us. Even at our most primitive, we relied on them for their profound healthful abilities. What has changed? Mostly, our withdrawal of individual tie next to them. Our highly technical, completed busy, media-drenched lives have us relying on hasty fixes with pretend chemicals and bactericide superior bugs. This unnatural certainty cooperative with the ill air and outstandingly processed foods are all resultant in far smaller number than vibrant well-being.
So, naturally, we search for what we intuitively be aware of is missing! Could it be in the plants, flowers and trees? Could the solution be in the automatic world around us, which has nurtured and never-ending us throughout our evolution?
After tumbling extremely ill in 1994, of late close fur the detergent island in the market became a nightmare. Perfume sections and artificially malodorous lamp isles, forget it!

My usual doctors were unable to assist me farther than liberal me a prescription for a Natural element to sustain me have forty winks.

Searching for many assistance and relief, I recovered an herbalist, who has been of large aid to me. Still, affliction was my continual wife. Unable to help yourself to any over-the-counter hurting medication, let unsocial prescriptions, due to my chemical sensitivities, I tried vital oils. I had some inferior success next to headaches relief, until I tested Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils. And FINALLY, I found products that are generous me thoughtful relief, short triggering my bodys sensitivities to un-natural chemicals!

We are pleased to announce that Hattie's War will be released by Crispin Books on November 1:
In 1864 Milwaukee, eleven-year-old Hattie Bigelow, who is more interested in base ball than in sewing circles, loses her back yard to a garden for the new Soldiers' Home–and then rebels against her family's expectations during the difficult final year of the Civil War.
Welcome to Hattie's War
We are pleased to announce that Hattie's War will be released by Crispin Books on November 1:
Fair Days
Fifteen years ago when my ten year-old daughter Katrina began showing 4-H lambs at the Porter County Fair in Northwest Indiana, her nine year-old cousin David came to visit from suburban Chicago. City boy David swept the aisles between the animal pens so faithfully that the sheep barn won the Cleanest Barn contest.
When we were not at the fairgrounds, David's mother Emily and I worked on an idea for a book we called "Girls of the Plank Road," a story of pioneer Wisconsin featuring the first Racine County Fair. We had fond memories of our own county fair days, and my daughter's Hampshire lamb was descended from the sheep that Emily and our brothers and sisters and I had shown in the 1970's as members of the Yorkville 4-H Club.
Back then, the sheep and many of the other animals were exhibited in tents, but today the fairgrounds features an extensive array of permanent structures, including a long row of livestock barns. The Plank Road families of the nineteenth century would be amazed to see what enormous enterprises the county fairs of the Midwest have become.
Making History at the Home Farm
Tonight at 6:30 Emily and I will talk about our books in one of our favorite places–the hayloft of the big old barn at Bo-Mar Farm in Yorkville Township, Wisconsin. The History Seekers of the Union Grove Area have invited us to speak, and our sister Gretchen Hansen and her husband are hosting the event.
Six of us Demuths grew up on Bo-Mar Farm, known to our readers as the McEachron homestead, and we have vivid memories of working and playing in that barn. For many summers we sweated and scratched as we hauled and stacked bales of hay in that loft. In cooler weather we built castles–complete with dungeons–of straw bales. Our 4-H lambs were born in that barn, and Mr. Vyvyan came to shear every June. My horse and our two ponies grazed in the pasture for many years.
After we all moved out and Mom and Dad no longer kept livestock, Dad laid a new floor in the empty hayloft, hung basketball hoops and a swing, fenced off the open end, and built a staircase up to "Grampa's Playpen." Twenty Demuth grandchildren and plenty of adults have played in that hayloft in recent years, including musicians at a genuine barn dance.
One of the Demuth family treasures is a photograph of the barn-raising, a turn-of-the-century community event. I hope the men who built the barn and the women who fed them all had time and energy for dancing when the work was done.
Many different kinds of activities have taken place in that barn over the past hundred and fourteen years, but one of the most unique occurred just a few years ago. On a brisk autumn day our nephew Thomas Martin Hansen was baptized in that hayloft, which was hung with family quilts as a backdrop for a marble baptismal font and conveniently furnished with church pews.
A Glimpse of Hattie's War
Early in Plank Road Winter, Hans and his father reminisce about seeing Old Abe, the eagle mascot of the Eighth Wisconsin regiment, at the Soldiers' Home Fair in Milwaukee when Henry Hoffman returned from the war. Later, when Sophie visits the Soldiers' Home, she notices that her mother is "as proud of the new building as though the donations from Yorkville ladies had funded the entire project."
The Soldiers' Home Fair of 1865 was the most significant fundraising event of Civil War Wisconsin. In this grand version of the popular soldiers' aid fairs, Milwaukee women enlisted the help of communities statewide to raise over $100,000 to purchase land and build a permanent home for returning soldiers on property that still serves veterans today.
In our forthcoming book Hattie's War, Emily and I tell the story of eleven year-old Hattie Bigelow, a Milwaukee girl deeply involved in relief efforts, including the Soldiers' Home Fair.
On June 21, 2014, the modern West Side Soldiers' Aid Society of Milwaukee recreated the sights and sounds and smells of that fair, treating visitors to the Civil War Museum in Kenosha to a glimpse of Hattie's world. In the spirit of the dedicated nineteenth-century citizens who continued to support American soldiers after the war, the sponsors of this modern fair donated all proceeds to the Milwaukee Homeless Veterans Initiative.
Emily and I are eager to share the rich heritage of Wisconsin's Civil War history with readers of Hattie's War this fall.
Mom–Our Number One Fan
Long before Emily and I began working on the story first known as "Girls of the Plank Road," our mother, Marjorie Demuth, encouraged us to write. Mostly we wrote accounts of county fair projects for our 4-H record books, but we also wrote essays and speeches for local contests by groups such as the American Legion. Back then I did not always appreciate my mother's prodding or her forthright criticism of my writing and public speaking skills.
Now that Mom is our financial manager and number one promoter–she sells more books than Emily and I do, and she even gives presentations, using those public speaking skills she worked so hard to teach us–I am grateful for her long years of effort on our behalf.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom! The Plank Road books wouldn't be here without you.
A Delicious Celebration in the Classroom
As mentioned in the previous post, after reading Plank Road Summer, students in Burlington, Wisconsin, shared their knowledge of Midwestern history at the "1852 6th Grade Fair" held on Grandparents' Day. No fair is complete without food, of course. In addition to building plank roads, coloring quilt blocks, and learning about the Underground Railroad, the visitors baked scones and drank freshly-squeezed lemonade. Inspired by pioneer girls Katie and Florence in Plank Road Summer, one student even provided a taste test of strawberry preserves.

Generations Celebrate Wisconsin History Together
On March 14, sixth graders at St. John's Lutheran School in Burlington, Wisconsin, celebrated Grandparents' Day by hosting an interactive classroom fair inspired by Plank Road Summer.
The students in Mrs. Claire Rehberger's class chose their own projects, which resulted in a fascinating variety of activities and exhibits for the older guests. Visitors to the classroom were invited to build a plank road, make scones and lemonade, color quilt blocks, taste strawberry preserves, listen to a live reading of Plank Road Summer, experience an audiovisual presentation about the Underground Railroad, and play a memory game about technology "Then and Now."

Happy Brigid's Day!
Today is Brigid's Day, also known as St. Bridget's Day, but many readers may not realize the significance of that name in the Plank Road books.
In Plank Road Summer, Gran Mather's given name appears only twice. At the Yorkville smithy, Old Man Caswell calls Gran by her first name, and at the Ives Grove store, Gran introduces herself to Marshal Carter: "I'm Brigid Mather."
I chose "Brigid" as Florence's grandmother's name because of its connection with the ancient Celtic world. Gran Mather is a healer in the pioneer community who speaks the old Cornish language and cherishes the traditions of her native Cornwall.
The Celtic Brigid, or Brighid, triple goddess of fire–the fire of inspiration, the fire of the hearth, and the fire of the forge–was Christianized as St. Brigid, or Bridget, patron saint of poets, midwives, blacksmiths, travelers, and fugitives.
Readers of Plank Road Summer will surely recognize the significance of those occupations to our story.
And careful readers of Plank Road Winter may realize that little Birdie is named after her great-grandmother–when the schoolmaster calls the roll, she responds to the name "Brigid Caswell."
Interestingly, Saint Bridget is also the patron saint of milkmaids.
Authors and Artists
Recently my daughter Kat Lutze literally shaped the Plank Road Summer characters Katie McEachron and Florence Mather by needle-felting little dolls of wool roving, Katie with brown braids and a crimson dress, Florence with fair hair and a green dress.
When the dolls were posed with copies of our books for a craft fair in Union Grove, Wisconsin, I was reminded of another artist's interpretation of the Plank Road characters. In 2009 Kathleen Spale sent several cover sketches to our editor Phil Martin of Crickhollow Books. As you can see here, one of those concepts looks startlingly like the photograph of those felted dolls.
Plank Road Visions
Some of us tell stories in words, others in pictures. Our photographer sister Gretchen captures moments in light and shadow, and her visions have included the Plank Road world of the twenty-first century.
This award-winning photograph shows a young reader in the very bedroom in which Emily and I imagined the McEachron sisters looking out over the lilacs behind the farmhouse. Careful observers may be able to recognize the book in this picture, a choice that gladdened our hearts.
The autumn photograph below shows four children at home watching their Yorkville neighbors harvesting the fields once farmed by the McEachrons.
Like our favorite stories, Gretchen's visions have a timeless quality. It's easy to understand why she specializes in photographing babies and children in southeastern Wisconsin. You will find more of her work at Gigi's Joy Photography.

Was shown this political social/economic test that places you on a four-way axis, opposites being Libertarianism/Authoritarianism and Left and Right.
Although clearly not completely accurate, it's interesting.
Just thought I'd share this, I found it quite interesting, where do you lie?
My result showed me to be Centre-Right Libertarian: 6.75,-2.41
Views: 1189
Just another leftist talking-point ... trying to mainstream the outside-of-mainstream by claiming Obama isn't what he is. Clever. Still not buying it.
Ridicule and dismiss. You'll have to do better than that.
Why bother? I know I won't be able to convince you otherwise. You're obviously very entrenched in your position; it seems like every second post of yours is about Obamacare. I just find it amusing that your reaction is to claim that this is a leftist conspiracy to sell Obama.
You're obviously very entrenched in your position
Likewise. And, no, you can't convince me that there exists no authoritarian left in this country. Complete horseshit from somebody that either doesn't want to be seen as authoritarian, or doesn't want the trainwreck caused by the left in this country to be attributed to his ideology. Or both.
I've seen the authoritarian left in action. I've seen it shut businesses down. I've seen it brainlessly upend the healthcare system. I've seen it get a major CEO fired for failure-to-conform. I've seen it ban. I've seen it mandate. I've seen it ostracize. I've seen it audit political enemies. I've seen it tax. I've seen it spend. I've seen it all. The American authoritarian left is as thriving as it has ever been.
Everybody has an agenda. That's not a conspiracy theory. Its a fact. Why would the creators of this questionnaire and voter guide be any different?
It is concerning how many conservatives on this site gave credence to it without question. I'm sure many more did last election cycle.
I haven't been following the thread, but I can address this question. Is it reasonable to imagine that those on the left would want to sell Obama? Would people on the left be more likely to want to sell Obama, or those on the right?
If they did -- or if they wanted to sell some view further left than his -- would it work better to portray him as on the left, or as on the right but closer to the center than his opponents?
The answers are obvious, aren't they? Whether we refer to people speaking as "conspiracy" or simply as speech.
I never said there was "no real difference." Just that on a global political spectrum, this is accurate - our liberals are far right of most european liberal politicians. That's hardly equivalent to utilizing the entire electromagnetic spectrum to minimize differences, except as an extreme distortion of its own.
That's not the global political spectrum. There is simply no way that Virgil Goode -- an American Constitutional conservative, not a Saudi cleric -- is the pinnacle of global right-wing authoritarianism. Even as a global representation ... its a major distortion.
A distortion that intentionally places American conservatives at the extreme edge. Virgil Goode is not more extreme than Bashar Al Assad. Than Hu Jintao (the right-wing Chinese communist, apparently). They've got Virgil Goode -- an American Conservative -- as equivalently authoritarian to Robert Mugabe. I don't know a ton about Goode ... but I'm damn sure he's not Robert Mugabe.
This grid is a joke.
A fair point. I still maintain that Obama is pretty right of European liberals, enough to where he could be considered a conservative without deliberate misrepresentation.
Just for shits and giggles what definition of conservative are you using?
For giggles, for this conversation - The way a French or British parliamentarian might be defined. David Cameron, for instance. Some elements of Fiscal responsiblity (as well as moderate tax breaks - from 50% down to 45%), but still spending on socialized healthcare, education (including subsidized university) and other infrastructure.

Target: President Ali Bongo Ondimba, Gabon
Goal: Mitigate elephant population loss crisis with immediate and ambitious conservation measures
Elephant poaching in Gabon has reached a crisis level, with the country losing a third of their forest elephant populations in just the past decade. The country, which is made up of 85% rainforest, is home to over half of the world's surviving elephants. Near the shared border with Cameroon, which has lost over half their elephants, Gabon's Minkebe National Park's death rate is even higher than the national average.
The elephants are killed illegally for their valuable ivory tusks, which sell for $900 per pound. Considered a status symbol in Asia, most of the world's illegal ivory is sold in Chinese streets. Profits from the sale of ivory often go to funding criminal organizations, such as poaching rings and terrorist groups.
Poachers use snares, poisons, and bait to capture or kill elephants, and sometimes even shoot entire herds down from the air. Poachers have poisoned entire water holes, killing a herd of elephants and a host of other species at once. This illegal hunting of adult elephants leaves calves without their mothers, unable to survive on their own, and further contributes to population decline.
Elephant populations have been falling dramatically since the 1970's, when there was an estimated 1.3 million worldwide. Now, there are less than 400,000, and the death rate is accelerating at an alarming pace. Up to 30,000 elephants a year are slaughtered for their tusks, while forest elephants are particularly sought-after for their straight tusks which produce a fine grade of ivory.
Gabon, which is currently in talks with China about cracking down on the Chinese ivory trade, should take immediate proactive action against poachers. Harsher penalties and stronger enforcement, particularly near Minkebe National Park and the Cameroon border, should be instated immediately. Ask that the Gabonese government quickly mobilize to address the elephant crisis in their country.
Dear President Ali Bongo Ondimba,
In the past decade, Gabon has lost a third of their forest elephant population. Death rates are even higher than the average near the Cameroon border, at Minkebe National Park. Gabon, with its 85% rainforest, is currently home to over half the remaining elephants in all of Africa, and has reached a poaching crisis that requires immediate action.
I ask that besides asking China, the world's major ivory purchaser, to more strictly attack the ivory trade in their country, action is taken on Gabon's side as well. I ask that harsher penalties be handed down to poachers, and that a focus is placed on monitoring and enforcement of these anti-poaching laws.

Learning to Cope With Hard Times
By ANDI RIERDEN
Published: September 12, 1993
MATTIE CREECH lives in a ground-floor apartment in the Newhallville section of New Haven. Outside her front door, city buses sit idling and the blare of car stereos rattle the dishes in her cupboard. While sitting next to a window seat filled with herbs, Mrs. Creech said she reckoned that the country has been going downhill since the days of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
"But let me add," said the 73-year-old, who retired in 1987 after working 20 years repairing guns for the Olin Corporation, "in the past five years, it's gone completely crazy."
She includes among her litany of contemporary ills the fact that the banks are always changing their names, the residents are overtaxed and, of late, the thieves in her neighborhood are stealing air-conditioners from people's windows. Such developments stand in stark contrast with the days when she first moved to Connecticut from rural Virginia in the 1940's.
"That was when everybody had a job and some respect," Mrs. Creech said. "There was always a park where a kid could play and everybody watched out. Now they've torn down all the parks to build condominiums and no one can buy them. And the young people are toting guns and selling drugs. That tells you how far we've come."
In recent interviews with residents across the state one thing became clear: these are confusing times for Connecticut. The recession that began around four years ago still lingers. The state's cities have become more impoverished and dangerous. AIDS, teen-age pregnancy, drug abuse and other social problems continue to take their toll. And the dream of finding a lifelong job that includes good benefits with a stable company has died.
No matter where people live and what their standard of living, the turmoil and economic difficulties of the past few years seem to have in some way altered their lives. For many, the period marks a time of financial and philosophical readjustment. While some say the worst is yet to come, others are hopeful, given the resourcefulness of the state's residents, that Connecticut's economy will revive. Over all, everyone agrees that things will never be the same. When it comes to stories about the pain of losing a job, Susan Troup Tolhurst of Waterbury said she had heard them all. She knows of one Bridgeport man who lost his printing business after 30 years and a former Hartford bank manager who now makes $15,000 working at a pharmaceutical laboratory scrubbing bottles. She knows people who have received exemplary evaluations from their employers one day and a pink slip the next. Unemployment Problems
In 1990 Ms. Tolhurst was laid off from her job as a computer trainer the same week her husband was laid off from his job as a computer engineer. "When you're both unemployed at the same time, it's no vacation," she said, "and I knew the worst thing would be to isolate myself."
After a thorough search she found only two support networks for people who had lost their jobs and decided to begin her own group. She sent out news releases to churches, unemployment centers, libraries and civic groups. In the spring of 1991 she held the first meeting at Silas Bronson Library in Waterbury. The group now draws 20 to 50 people weekly, most of whom are professionals over 40 who come from as far away as Danbury, Fairfield and New Haven. The two hours are spent sharing interviewing experiences, resume tips, job leads and listening to speakers.
Ms. Troup, 44, also publishes a brochure distributed by the State Department of Labor listing 55 similar support groups, which have emerged in the last three years. As a result of her contacts with thousands of unemployed people she said she had become an astute observer of the state and national economy.
"Most economists agree that because Connecticut was the first to be hit with the recession, it will be the last to come out of it," she said. "What we've got is a huge mismatch between our labor pool and what's needed to succeed in a global economy." She would like to see a state task force created that would be made up of jobless workers and employers; they would sit down together and redefine the types of skills workers need, and determine if businesses plan to hire more temporary as opposed to permanent, full-time employees. Saw Recession Coming
In addition, Ms. Troup suggested that the state finance a program to help unemployed people with similar talents form business cooperatives. Earlier this year she began a part-time job as a vocational trainer at Brookfield High School. Though there was no pay for her work on the brochure and outreach project, she did receive a letter from Gov. Lowell P. Weicker Jr. commending her efforts.
"There's a book called 'If You Do What You Love Then the Money Will Follow,' " she said. "I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that'll come true."
In 1989 Thomas Febbraio, sensed that the economy in the Fairfield area was beginning to crumble. As an owner of three restaurants -- Tommy's, Sidetracks and Arizona Flats -- he said he had kept in touch with the Welcome Wagon organization and had begun to notice that housing sales in Fairfield had dropped substantially.
"That was the real barometer," he said. The following year, Mr. Febbraio, 40, started to see a decline in the number of customers. Other businesses in the area were also struggling. At that point he began to analyze his business. He spent long evenings at his office on the Post Road calculating ways to reduce his expenditures and increase his revenues. He revised the menus and strengthened the style of each restaurant, which are completely distinct.
"I looked at everything down to how much it was costing us to put oil in our table lamps," Mr. Febbraio said. "I thought I was going to lose everything." Difficulties of Self-Employed
Substantially cutting costs and redefining goals has paid off, said Mr. Febbraio, who has been a restaurant owner for 16 years. Last year he and his partner, Thomas Sargent, a Westport lawyer, had their best year, he said. Although the number of customers has not reached the peak of the mid-1980's, he said, the financial adjustments they made have compensated for other shortfalls.
"In the 1980's restaurants did business by default because business was flowing," Mr. Febbraio said in a recent interview at Sidetracks, a family-style restaurant with a railroad theme. "In the 1990's you have to be more creative in your thinking. You have to know how to invest in what you already have."
In Cornwall, near the banks of the Housatonic River, Todd Piker, 41, uses an old chicken barn as his pottery studio. With a wood-fired kiln he turns out dishes, mugs and bowls, birdhouses and lamps, mostly in rich shades of red and brown. A self-employed artist for the past 20 years, Mr. Piker said he was no stranger to recessionary times. He and his family run the Cornwall Bridge Pottery store, where he sells his works along with Mexican blown glass, kitchen items and children's toys.
Because of its location, the flow of traffic is steady, yet in the past five years, Mr. Piker said, "There's so little discretionary income around, it's been harder and harder to convince people that a bowl of pottery will enhance their lives." Impact on Tourism
Mr. Piker said the challenge of generating new ways to make ends meet has become the only way to survive. He has expanded his merchandise to include cutting boards, post cards and children's games and makes sure his prices are reasonable.
Because the northwest corner of the state is so susceptible to the ebb and flow of tourists, he said, the recession has placed a strain on most businesses. The tax bases for some towns are eroding, the town roads are not as well maintained and "the schools are crying for every dollar they can get," he said. But despite it all, he said he would not trade his life style for another.
"You're a self-employed person for a reason," said Mr. Piker, the president of the Society for Connecticut Crafts. "And nowadays the economy is so fleeting, I wouldn't want to give up what I'm doing to try and work for some corporation."
Gina Dituzzi, 47, said that if she won the lottery, she would buy all the empty factories in Bridgeport and turn them into shelters for homeless people, complete with a cafeteria and medical staff. As a caseworker for the city's Spanish American Development Agency for the past six years, she has watched the lives of most of her clients deteriorate. 'My Heart Gets Broken'
More and more of them have to collect cans and bottles to supplement their incomes, she said, and to ask for food vouchers, which are in limited supply. Elderly people are especially hard hit, she said, referring to one woman who lives on cat food and crackers because she needs the money from her meager pension to pay for her medications. Many of her clients have succumbed to AIDS, tuberculosis and drug overdoses.
"Every day my heart gets broken," Ms. Dituzzi said. She has fond memories of growing up in the Bullshead section of Bridgeport in the 1950's. "Those were the days when you could walk out and sleep on a bench with all your money on you and nobody bothering you," she said. "Some day I'd like to see it go back to that, but I know that'll never happen."
She raised three daughters on her own by washing people's clothes with a glass washboard in her bathtub, she said. Today she makes $300 a week as a caseworker helping people fill out their welfare forms, teaching English and lending a compassionate ear.
Instead of giving money to the drug addicts or alcoholics that cluster on corners and in boarded up buildings outside her office on East Main Street she will often take them to get something to eat. "People are doing what they're not supposed to be doing and that's why it's all going down the drain," she said. "That and the fact that there's no money. And in this world, it all comes down to money." Wildflowers Amid Debris
On a weekday afternoon, Ms. Dituzzi described her neighborhood as she walked past Julio's Furniture Store, two Spanish food markets and a stretch of boarded-up buildings sprayed with graffiti. The farthest from Bridgeport she has ever been is New Haven, she said, and she would not change that for anything.
Near a cluster of men swapping liquor bottles beneath the awning of an abandoned warehouse, Ms. Dituzzi talked about how unfairly people outside Bridgeport talk about the city. "To most people," she said, "Bridgeport's the place you go to get killed."
Farther down the street, past an empty lot strewn with broken bottles and litter, she paused to point out the clusters of Queen Anne's lace. Like the wildflowers sprouting amid the debris, Ms. Dituzzi pointed out that Bridgeport has a beautiful side that is often ignored. But unless everyone faces up to the realities of urban life, she said, the conditions are going to get much worse for the whole state.
"Everybody in Connecticut has to open their eyes and try to put our world back together again," she said. "Instead of being afraid of crime and poverty, I tell people not to be afraid. It's here, let's cope with it. Instead of running, we've got to start rebuilding. Instead of avoiding, let's try to reclaim at least some of what once made us a strong community."

Shelf Life Of Ri?
Decorating By Melan Updated 29 Aug 2008 , 9:53pm by KonfectionKonnection
What is the shelf life of royal icing -Wilton's recipe? I have a batch I made and it's in an air tight container -but it's been there for nearly 2 weeks. Can I use it or should I just make a new batch? I don't need much -that's why I hate to waste time and ingredients making a new batch. Thanks!
I would imagine it is still good. As long as it hasn't seperated, it should be fine. Someone else may know better, but I would still use it.
Is that how you can tell it's bad? Because mine separates very quickly. Also I hear that you are not supposed to refrigerate RI. Is there a better way to store or preserve it? Or do most of you only use what you need immediately?
Mine seperates very quickly too -so I hope that isn't an idicator.
I've used mine at 2 weeks out, and it's been fine. You may have to re-beat it or really stir it well to smooth it back out. (I suspicion you can use it longer, but that is about the longest I've gone myself.) HTH

Today, I found out that my mom bet my dad $100 that she could pay my boyfriend ten bucks to break up with me. She is now $90 richer. FML
Today, I learned it's a bad idea to text and smoke while drunk, because there is an increased risk of throwing your phone off the balcony and sticking your cigarette into your pocket. FML

We originally booked into Caribou Lodge & Spa for a single night but ended up staying four making it our base while touring the Rockies. Having checked in we requested an upgrade to a balcony room to which they obliged free of charge. The rooms are nicely decorated and the beds amazingly comfortable. The complementary spa pool, although small is very relaxing. The Keg restaurant within the hotel serves very good full English breakfasts as well as great evening dinners, the "baseball top sirloin" is superb. We would definitely recommend this hotel.and look forward to a return visit.
