I love your block library; please keep adding to it! And your tutorials, too! It's like a recipe box on your website instead of my computer where my bookmarked pages and files get lost or too hard to find.ReplyDelete
This is such a neat idea. I save things to my computer, but this is a cool visual that I truly need. I have to start something like this on my blog, for those moments of inspiration.ReplyDelete

This is a super place to come to every few days !! I love the blocks and I love that you've taken the trouble to link the instructions right there as well. Thank You !!ReplyDelete
My family has quilted for generations. My great grandmother passed away at 98 and enjoyed quilting with her daughter and grand daughters. This site is something I will be able to share with my 84 year old grandmother tomorrow after a doctors appointment. She has displayed quilts at the Ohio State Fair and makes every new baby in our family a quilt. She still sits with her hoop and hand quilts them while watching tv in the evening. The blocks on here are beautiful, fun and bring back memories of quilts in our family. I have yet to make a quilt but now I am feeling quite inspired thanks to your hard work, inspiration and many any blocks to choose from. Nice to see you are also fromthe Buckeye State. HAPPY QUILTING!ReplyDelete
I was like a kid in a candy store (or in a library/book store)!! I looked through them 3 times and saw new ones every time. I pinned 3 already, so I hope that gets you more traffic.ReplyDelete
This is so cool!!! Thank you!ReplyDelete

Saw this link on Pinterest and have to comment. A large number of your blocks are some of the same that I have liked, bookmarked, copied, etc. in the past and I love how you have combined them all in one location with a visual so that you don't have to comb through a lot of information to even see what it is. Thanks for doing all the hard work and making it available.ReplyDelete

Oh, my! How wonderful! I am always finding then losing block patterns. I had them to my favorites list, as my puter guy said I will not waste my space. But this is great! Love your idea. Will be back for more blocks as you add them. I will tell my quilty friends.......ReplyDelete
Hi AnneMarie! I love you quilt block library. I pinned it so I will be able to find it again.....and again.....and again!ReplyDelete
THIS page is AWESOME!! very visual also. Actually love your whole blog! I love your modern blocks and prints. I started peacing a Grandmothers Flower Garden quilt when I was pregnant with my middle son. He is now 23 and I have yet to finish it. I played with some other quilting as a SAHM but have not sewn in years since entering the workforce. I suddenly have a creative bug that needs an outlet and i think some of these block may be my answer. Thanks!ReplyDelete
What a great idea, and a great tool! I love that you have linked back to the original blogs, and I am looking forward to having a look at them all. Thanks for sharing; I am continuously blown away by the generosity of quilters on the web!!ReplyDelete

I really loved the idea of this block library. However, it is entirely too frustrating to have so many entries come up with comments, such as, blog has moved, can't identify, must have permission to enter blog, . . . etc. NOT GOODReplyDelete
It would be great to have a 'search' feature, so one could search by block name, or type.ReplyDelete
This is great! Thank you!ReplyDelete
Wow, what an amazing resource page. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete

"A brilliant, healthier alternative to fried chicken and French fries without losing irresistible flavour and crunch."
Oven Fried Chicken and French Fries
0 recipe photos
READY IN:1hr 30mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 5 ounces melba toast
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
For the French fries
- 1 lb potato, cut into 1/4in strips and soaked in cold water and ice for 30 minutes
- cooking spray
- Set the oven to 400°F In a small bowl whisk the egg, egg white and Dijon mustard until smooth.
- Place the Melba toast, thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper and blitz to create textured breadcrumbs (leave some pieces about the size of currants).
- Dip a chicken breast in the egg mixture, coating it thoroughly and then dredge in the breadcrumbs, patting and turning frequently until well coated.
- Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for three minutes, and then lightly spray the top of each chicken breast with oil.

A conflict of interest and a lean list of substitute attorneys left Michael Anthony Marshman with no one to defend him Tuesday on three felony charges in St. Johns County Circuit Court.
Marshman had been assigned Assistant Public Defender Renee Peshek to answer charges of violating probation for aggravated battery, felony domestic battery and child abuse.
Peshek, however, told Circuit Court Judge J. Michael Traynor that she had a conflict. Her office is defending Kathy Feaganes Allen, who is charged with attempting to run down Marshman's brothers with her sport utility vehicle.
Allen, facing three counts of attempted felony murder, is scheduled to be in circuit court Thursday morning.
Most defendants who cannot afford an attorney are assigned one from the public defender's office. If, as in Marshman's case, there's a conflict of interest, the judge selects one from a list of "conflict attorneys" who practice in the Seventh Judicial Circuit.
The vast majority of attorneys who have agreed to be placed on the list practice in or around Daytona Beach.
The list of attorneys willing to take court-appointed cases is periodically updated. Over time, many local attorneys have either had their names taken off the list or asked that they not be placed on it because, for them, it is an expensive proposition.
Attorneys who take court-appointed cases usually run up bills totaling thousands of dollars before they even get to trial, and compensation can be a long time in coming.
Marshman had a not guilty plea entered for all charges. Traynor set his next court appearance for the February docket and said he would appoint another attorney by then.

Tenn. judge changes infant's name from 'Messiah'
Bluto Sandy, UTAug. 16, 2013 6:13 p.m.
This is really an ignorant overreach by this judge.
Is he aware that Jesus is a common name in Spanish speaking countries?
Is he also aware that in Judaism, Christ is not the Messiah?
This won't stand.
gburns52 Milford, UTAug. 16, 2013 12:09 p.m.
'Child Support Magistrate' says it all. Unlike other judges, they make religious rulings all the time. It can't be avoided in child custody cases. How would you separate it? I do think the judge went a little far in this case and it most likely will be overturned, not necessarily on religious separation grounds, but because both parents had agreed on the first name. If you think this is because Tennessee is a backwards state, not so. I dealt with a judge in the Los Angeles courts that asked me what I prayed for, the night before, as I sat on the witness stand.

I am sorry you could not follow my comment. Read my comment again. That is not what I claimed. I pointed out that this Judge's ruling is "what in the public square looks like". This Judge is relying on individual religious beliefs to make this judgement. That is what I have been told believers want: the right to bring their personal religious faith into "the public square" and have it influence their jobs, voting, education, etc.
Good for you for condemning what this Judge has done. But that means you are condemning this Judge's "religious freedom" - the right to mingle religion with public office; the right to bring the Judge's personal religious beliefs into the public square and the workplace.
the old switcharoo mesa, AZAug. 15, 2013 2:57 p.m.
People in other countries name their kid stuff like that all the time.
In a red state they change your kid's name because they don't like it on religious grounds. Wow. I doubt they would have cared if it were "Buddha".
I'll stay far away from Tennessee.
Don Bugg Prince Frederick, MDAug. 15, 2013 7:46 a.m.
"A Scientist" seems to be claiming that "believers" are not participating in an outcry about this ruling. But that doesn't seem to square with the unanimous scorn shown in the comments above; surely some of these folks are "believers," and they obviously have great disdain for what the judge has done.
I'm a "believer"--a Christian and a Latter-day Saint. I think the judge's ruling is absolutely appalling. I believe and hope it won't stand.
coltakashi Richland, WAAug. 14, 2013 1:31 p.m.
The interference by any governmentofficer, including a judge, in the selection of a personal name for one's child is a right exercised by parents since time immemorial. The judge's rationale, that the name "Messiah" must be reserved for the one true Messiah, demonstrates prejudice against Jews, who believe the Messiah has still not arrived. The word means "Anointed" as in "Anointed Priest or King", and in Greek is Christos, so every person in the world named "Chris" or "Kris" or "Christian" is also bearing a name with a similar meaning. Whatever appellate court has jurisdiction is going to reverse the ruling, and whatever method they have in Tennessee to get rid of idiot judges who abuse their power needs to be employed to get rid of this judge.
let's roll LEHI, UTAug. 13, 2013 1:42 p.m.
@ A Scientist
Consider this outcry from a believer. Bad decision on any number of levels.
A Scientist Provo, UTAug. 13, 2013 9:02 a.m.
Seriously, this is what religion in the public square looks like. This is a Judge excercising "freedom of religion" in the very way believers say he should be able to do.
Where is the outcry against those like this mother who are infringing on the "religious freedom" of this Judge by insisting that the Judge keep religion out of the job?
The hypocrisy of believers is astounding.
A Scientist Provo, UTAug. 13, 2013 6:39 a.m.
Will opposition to this judge's ruling be decried as yet another assault on "religious freedom?"
Where are you, defenders of the faith?
JohnJacobJingleHeimerSchmidt Beverly Hills, CAAug. 13, 2013 2:07 a.m.
This is why Church and State should be separate. A judge's religious beliefs should not be telling parents what they can name children.
RanchHand Huntsville, UTAug. 12, 2013 7:04 p.m.
What an idiotic ruling. This judge clearly doesn't understand that she has no business forcing her own religous views onto the people who come before her. Today's names are often bizarre (to many of us) and unusual; why not be able to use a title for a name, some people are using the names of fruits. The article stated that Messiah is #4 these days as a child's name.
Contrarius mid-state, TNAug. 12, 2013 4:36 p.m.
Yes, folks, this is the Great State of Tennessee. ;-D
There are millions of people in the world named "Jesus". And millions more named "Mohammed".
IMHO "Messiah" is a pretty stupid name -- but if she wants to hang that on her son, she has the right to do so.
The ACLU is already on the case. This name change won't last long.
Brahmabull sandy, utAug. 12, 2013 2:24 p.m.
How is it legal for a judge to impose his religious beliefs onto a person? This is nuts. I personally hate that name, but if somebody wants to use it, let them. I can name my kid buddah, ala, or whatever else I want. There are hispanics with the name Jesus... This is rediculous.
Kalindra Salt Lake City, UtahAug. 12, 2013 12:42 p.m.
@ ute alumni? Really? You think the child should be removed from the parents because of his name? So much for small government.
This Judge is imposing her religious beliefs on this family and she has no right to do that.
ute alumni paradise, UTAug. 12, 2013 11:50 a.m.
With "parents" like this, you can see why adoption is still needed. Give the kid a chance and give him to parents that can actually raise him.

(IBList user synopsis):
In "The Evening and the Morning and the Night," we find yet another kind of slavery. The heroine Lynn is enslaved by a violent and apparently always fatal disease. Duryea-Gode disease is the side effect of a medicine called Hedeonco, which had been "the cure for a large percentage of the world's cancer and a number of serious viral diseases" ("The Morning and the Evening and the Night" 46). If this so-called "magic bullet" seems too good to be true, that is because it actually was. The problem was that the children of those treated with Hedeonco were born with DGD. From that point, the disease was always passed on genetically. Victims of the disease live healthy lives (with a regulated diet) until one day they begin to lose control and mutilate themselves and possibly those around them. Those who do not die from this experience live out their lives heavily drugged and restrained.

Household6Diva's Blizzard Bloghop 2011 Intro
If you're a new visitor coming to me from Household6Diva's Blizzard Bloghop, welcome! My name is Erin and you've found me here at Every Branch!
I'm a 30-year-old special ed math teacher living in my dream state of Colorado, courtesy of the U.S. Army! I'm in my 5th year of teaching and I've taught in California (where I was born and raised), North Carolina, and now Colorado.
My husband is a prior service Marine who re-enlisted in the Army, did his time, and recently got out to join the Reserves. I started this milspouse blog to share the difficulties and challenges we have faced and are facing as a result of this transition.
I am currently in the process of enlisting in the Air Force Reserve as a 3S0X1 (Personnel), and I've been keeping my readers posted throughout this process. My recruiter recently found this position for me, so everything is very fresh and I'm gearing up for BMT and tech school this summer.
Notice the variety of military service? That's why I call this Every Branch. Between both of our families, we've got it all covered.
Teaching and the military aside, I ride a Harley, have an unhealthy obsession with makeup (check out my other blog, Made-Up In America), love to volunteer with military charities/organizations (the Patriot Guard especially), have a passion for mid-century vintage, and hope to have a family one day (currently struggling with conception).
Thank you for visiting! I hope you'll stick around and make yourself at home!

Vacation season is coming up and most of us are already forging out plans on what to do and where to go. Some may prefer an all-inclusive trip, chilling by the pool and doing nothing at all, besides sipping piña coladas and mojitos and getting gradually wasted. While others seek the thrill of hiking and backpacking and feeling at one with Mother Nature… and getting wasted. If you belong to the latter group, check out our latest Buyers Guide on backpacking accessories after the jump.
Leatherman Multi Tool
Depending on your handyman skills, this pitch-black Leatherman multi-tool features all the tools needed for you to build an entire cozy forest cabin from scratch if the situation calls for it. You can purchase yours here.
Stanley – Classic Vacuum Bottle 2.0 Qt.
Stanley has been a steady provider of high-grade insulated products for quite some time now. So if you're looking for a rugged no-bullshit flask that easily withstands a beating, this might be the perfect choice for you. Get it directly from the source.
Ultralight/Watertight Medical Kit
Roaming the great outdoors with no doctor around for miles, a petty scratch left untreated can easily turn into a rotten bloody stump, which will eventually attract all kinds of critters that will munch on whatever delicious parts of your body are left. Better have that Ultralight/Watertight Medical Kit around. You can get it here.
Snowpeak – Starter Kit
You can keep munching on those trail mix bars, or you can whip out this stove kit by Snowpeak and prepare a Michelin star-worthy three-course outdoor meal. Or just heat a can of spaghetti. You can get yours here.
Poler Stuff – The One Man Tent
Yeah sure, we all heard about camo being played out. But if there is one place that calls for it, it is the great outdoors. Get this one-man tent over at Poler Stuff.
Best Made Co. – The Lensatic Cruiser Compass
Thanks to Google Maps, that sense of orientation given to us by evolution over the course of thousands of years has virtually been eradicated. Some people can't even walk straight without consulting their smartphone for directions. Unfortunately that kind of modern gadgetry is worthless once you are lost somewhere between… where the fuck are we again? Oh yeah… there's GPS. But what screams more "skilled outdoorsman" than navigating with a good ol' compass? Exactly. Get it now from Best Made Co.
Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen
Living under a natural disaster called the ozone hole, Aussies know two or three things about keeping that precious imported European skin from turning into A-grade jerky. Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen might be a bit on the pricey side, but it's totally worth the money. You can purchase it here.
Julbo -Vermont Classic Glacier Glasses
Outdoor outfitters tend to overdo it with colors and shapes, turning unsuspecting sunglasses into alien spaceships. However, besides its contemporary range of shades, Julbo offers the Vermont Classic Glacier Sunglasses, which were launched back in the 1950s and since then have not lost any of their initial appeal. You can pick them up here.
Outgo – Microfiber Quick-Dry Travel Towel
As this list features only a fraction of what is considered essential to a backpacking trip, you might want to save some space for all that junk you're going to carry through the wilderness. Instead of a huge-ass terrycloth towel, we recommend going for the Outgo Mircrofiber Quick Dry travel towel. It's lightweight, compact and absorbs five times its weight in water. You can get it here.
Moleskine – Book Light
If you will ever find yourself wide awake at a shabby Colombian hostel at 5 a.m., because of… reasons that really don't need any further explanation, this book light by Moleskine may come in handy when trying to come down by reading a Spanish language edition of Moby Dick. Get it here.

I also saw a bugnet post talking about the necessity of them and how some people didn't like them inthe summer because they were so hot. The lightbulb went off and I said, man I'd love to be hot in the winter, then I started remembering this vapor barrier business. Do you guys think a bugnet would help creating a microclimate in the winter, maybe give me a noticeble difference in warm inside the hammock?

Children exposed to political violence in Israel & Palestine more aggressive than other children
Two items: a summary from Medical Express which refers to a longer report from Institute of Social Research, University of Michigan, which follows.
Chain of violence: Study shows impact on Palestinian and Israeli children
Medical Express, Psychology & Psychiatry news
August 21, 2012
Children exposed to ethnic and political violence in the Middle East are more aggressive than other children, a new study shows. And the younger children are, the more strongly they are affected, in a "chain of violence" that goes from political and ethnic strife, to violence in communities, schools, and families, and ends with their own aggressive behavior.
"Our results have important implications for understanding how political struggles spill over into the everyday lives of families and children," says psychologist Paul Boxer, lead author of the study. The study, forthcoming in the peer-reviewed journal Child Development, was conducted by a consortium of researchers from the U.S., Palestine, and Israel, and funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, part of the National Institutes of Health.
For the study, researchers conducted three yearly sets of interviews with approximately 1,500 children and their parents living in the Middle East. Participants included 600 Palestinian-Arab families, 451 Israeli Jewish families, and 450 Israeli Arab families. At the time of the first interview, one-third of the children were 8 years old, one-third were 11 years old, and one-third were 14 years old.
"We found that over time, exposure to all kinds of violence was linked to increased aggressive behavior among the children," says Boxer, who is affiliated with the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research (ISR), and Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. "We also found that these effects were strongest among the youngest age group, and that they appear to result from a chain of influence in which ethnic-political violence increases violence in families, schools, and neighborhoods, which in turn increases aggressive behavior among children."
In addition to collecting demographic information from the children's parents, the researchers assessed exposure to conflict and violence by asking parents and children a series of questions. Among them: how often a friend or acquaintance had been injured as a result of political or military violence; how often they had spent a long period of time in a security shelter or under curfew, and how often they had witnessed actual violence.
Children and their parents were also asked about the extent of their exposure to violence in the community that was not ethnic or political in nature, as well as violence at school, and violent arguments within the family. And children were asked how often in the last year they themselves had engaged in violent behaviors ranging from pushing someone, punching, beating, or choking someone, saying mean things, or taking others' things without asking.
They found that Palestinian children had the greatest exposure to violence, although Israeli Jews experienced more security checks and threats. Palestinian children also showed the highest levels of aggressive behavior. And males experienced more violence and displayed higher levels of aggression than did females. "Importantly, we found that late childhood was a critical period," says L. Rowell Huesmann, a U-M psychologist who is a co-author of the paper. "The children who were 8-years-old at the start of our study were more susceptible than older chidren to the effects of witnessing violence. "

Hidden costs of war: Middle East violence and its effect on children
By Susan Rosegrant, ISR Sampler, University of Michigan,
April 18, 2012
Wars have obvious victims. The dead, the injured. Those left behind. But there is another class of victims that often goes unnoticed: children. Not kids who are abducted or killed, but those who simply witness acts of ethnic or political violence, and whose lives and behavior are changed forever.
"Violence is really like a contagious disease," says Rowell Huesmann, director of theResearch Center on Group Dynamics at the Institute for Social Research (ISR). "Except in one sense, it's worse. With contagious diseases, you have to be near the person in order to get it. Violence is contagious even at a distance."
Huesmann has studied he impact of violence on children in a number of contexts. Most well known is his research showing that kids who watch lots of violent TV programs or movies, or who often play violent video games, become more aggressive. He has also studied how community and peer violence affect kids in inner city neighborhoods.
But Huesmann wanted to take it a step further, to go to a part of the world where he could study how regular exposure to ethnic or political violence affects aggressive behavior and post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms—such as nightmares, emotional numbness, and irritability—among young people.
Given the world's state of turmoil, there were plenty of locations to consider. But Huesmann also wanted a crackerjack team with collaborators who would know the territory. He found those collaborators in the Middle East, a region rife with incidents of political violence. At least 4,860 Palestinians ,731 Israeli civilians, and 332 Israeli soldiers were killed in political violence from the beginning of the second intifada—or Palestinian uprising—in September 2000 until the start of the Gaza War on Dec. 26, 2008, according to B'Tselem, the Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories.
With funding in 2005 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Huesmann and six other researchers set to work. In the US were Paul Boxer of Rutgers University,Jeremy Ginges of the New School for Social Research, and fellow ISR researcher Eric Dubow. In Israel, Simha Landau and Shira Dvir Gvirsman of Hebrew University of Jerusalem would oversee operations. Khalil Shikaki, director of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah, led efforts in the Palestinian Territories.
The team started in 2007 with 1,500 kids—600 Palestinians, 450 Israeli Jewish, and 450 Israeli Arabs, split evenly among 8-, 11- and 14-year-olds. The researchers also interviewed a parent of each child or teen. Interviewers approached the same kids and parents every year for three years, asking questions covering 24 indicators of exposure to ethnic-political conflict and violence. These ranged from watching political violence on TV news, to spending hours in a security shelter, to witnessing actual violence or dealing with the death of a family member or friend.
It was critical to frame the questions so as not to place respondents in legal jeopardy, or, for that matter, to encourage false answers. "We couldn't ask a Palestinian, 'Have you thrown a rock at an Israeli soldier?' which would be the most common way you would aggress against the Israelis," Huesmann explains. "But we could ask, 'Have you been in a demonstration where rocks have been thrown against Israeli soldiers?' It's a subtle difference, but legally an important one."
And to successfully do research in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, Israeli and Palestinian researchers had to take the lead, Huesmann says. Only they would know the best way to build a representative sample, to elicit cooperation, to maintain the trust of authorities, and even to know what questions you can and can't ask.
Having said that, operating in Israel in many ways was not that different from doing research in the United States. Simha Landau of Hebrew University engaged a survey research company that contacted respondents by phone and then sent interviewers across the country to do face-to-face interviews. Polls and surveys are common in Israel, and the standard of living too high for the 100-shekel participant incentive provided by NIH—equal to about $25—to mean much. Thus, many respondents were somewhat jaded, Landau says. That, combined with Israeli residents' easy mobility, contributed to a significant falloff in the sample; only about 63 percent participated in the second and third waves of the survey.
In the Palestinian Territories, it was a different story. The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR), like ISR, does its own survey work, and is deeply embedded in the communities where it operates. "Because of Israeli checkpoints, because we are concerned about the mobility of our data collectors and our field workers, we've built local capacity," Khalil Shikaki says. "In any single geographic location, we have teams of interviewers and field workers. It is their responsibility to make sure throughout the year that we remain in touch with the families."
Shikaki says it was easier to recruit survey participants in Palestine than in Israel or the US, where pollsters call on the phone and residents routinely beg off or don't answer at all. By contrast, all PSR's contacts were face to face. "It's more difficult for someone to turn away two young data collectors who knock at their doors," he says. The 100-shekel incentive also meant much more to poor Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank than to a typical Israeli. The fact that many Palestinians can't move freely also likely contributed to PSR's remarkable 95 percent retention rate over the three years of the survey.
Data collection ended in 2010, and the results, now appearing in a series of articles, have been illuminating, Huesmann says. "The most important finding is that simple exposure to violence results in very substantial increases in both the risk of behaving aggressively against your peers in the in-group, and a significant increase in the risk for developing PTS symptoms—anxiety, depression, and so on," he says. "We expected we'd find some effects, but they're really quite substantial. We were particularly surprised by how much war violence leads to increased aggression by youth directed at their own peers." The team also found that ethnic political violence has a cascading effect, stimulating violence within ever-smaller social spheres—the community, schools, peers, and families, all of which increase the violence of the individual.
Part of the value of the research was getting to look more carefully at why observing violence increases aggression by the observer. Many children who routinely witness political violence begin to see it as normal, Huesmann says; they become convinced that the world is a hostile place, and eventually become desensitized to the point that a violent act may produce little emotional reaction at all. "What we're talking about are very fundamental rules of how the nervous system, the brain, the mind works," Huesmann says. "I believe what we found here in just two cultures is probably generalizable to anyplace."
For team member Eric Dubow, a clinical psychologist by training, the study was also a chance to investigate the factors that protect kids from negative outcomes. "One of the things we're finding is that self-esteem seems to be a protective factor for these kids, and so is positive parenting—parenting that's non punitive," Dubow says. "Some of these kids are exposed to pretty chronic violence, and often that erodes those potential protective factors. But that's not what's happening here." Perhaps not surprisingly, children whose parents punish them harshly are more likely to be aggressive themselves, or to suffer PTS symptoms.
All of this has policy implications; the researchers plan to recommend approaches both to protect kids from bad effects and to help those already affected. Educating adults about parenting approaches and placing adequate social and therapeutic resources in schools and communities would be important first steps. "We think that every school should have more than one social worker, and that they should be trained to address these specific issues that we find to be very troubling," Shikaki says.
Indeed, for Shikaki, the policy implications are the crux of the entire survey. Palestinians reported the most incidents of political violence, and showed the highest levels of aggression and PTS symptoms. In fact, about a quarter of the Palestinian kids could probably be diagnosed with full-blown PTSD, Dubow says, compared to about 6 percent of Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs. As Shikaki notes: "Our children, in particular, are at much greater risk, which means we really need a much greater intervention at the policy level to address these issues. If this is not addressed, we're planting the seeds for the next conflict."
The researchers agree that the ultimate solution would be to stop this and other conflicts. But given the reality, world leaders must, at a minimum, understand that all wars inflict collateral damage on youth. "Children are at a critical period where their personalities are being molded," Huesmann says. "We're talking about how their beliefs, their social cognitions, their emotional reactions are changed. And once these cognitions become crystallized, it's very difficult to dissolve them."

DuPont, Monsanto strike RR2Y soybean deal
Seed industry watchers have pondered if DuPont Pioneer could keep pace with its Roundup Ready 1 soybeans vs. the newer traited Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans developed by Monsanto.
That question has been answered today through an announcement by DuPont and Monsanto regarding a series of technology licensing agreements. DuPont Pioneer officials say these agreements will expand the range of seed products the firm can offer farmers. The agreements include a multi-year, royalty-bearing license for Monsanto's next-generation soybean technologies in the United States and Canada.
Through these agreements, DuPont Pioneer will be able to offer Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans as early as 2014, and Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Xtend glyphosate and dicamba tolerant soybeans as early as 2015, pending regulatory approvals.
DuPont Pioneer also will receive regulatory data rights for the soybean and corn traits previously licensed from Monsanto, enabling it to create a wide array of stacked trait combinations using traits or genetics from DuPont Pioneer or others. Monsanto will receive access to certain DuPont Pioneer disease resistance and corn defoliation patents.
Under these agreements, DuPont Pioneer will make a series of upfront and variable based royalty payments subject to future delivery of enabling soybean genetic material. It will make four annual fixed royalty payments from 2014 to 2017 totaling $802 million for trait technology, associated data, and soybean lines to support commercial introduction.
Additionally, beginning in 2018, DuPont Pioneer will pay royalties on a per unit basis of Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Yield and Genuity Roundup Ready 2 Xtend for the life of the agreement for continued technology access, subject to annual minimum payments through 2023 totaling $950 million.
DuPont is filing a Form 8-K containing additional information about the impact of these agreements on the company. A copy of the 8-K is available on the DuPont Investor Center at www.investors.dupont.com.
DuPont and Monsanto also agreed to dismiss their respective antitrust and first-generation Roundup Ready soybean patent lawsuits pending in U.S. federal court in St. Louis. Last summer, a federal court ruled DuPont and its Pioneer subsidiary infringed on a Monsanto patent and awarded Monsanto $1 billion in damages.
Additional terms of the agreements were not disclosed.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for American Lebanese Syrian Associated Charities, Inc., Memphis, TN, USA
My wife, a donor, and I just toured St. Jude's Children's Hospital and Research Center and were very impressed. No clients served pays a cent and the facilities are excellent. Most impressive is the improvements in survivor rates since inception through their research. Additionally, they don't copyright any of their research papers or patent their findings. All is open, and even distributed to, all other research agencies. They have video worldwide conferences with other researchers. Whan they find doctors that are treating children with cancer that aren't educated sufficiently they bring them to Memphis to bring them up to standard. I am now changing some of my charitable giving to give to ALSAC.

The big problem of small change
Western Europe was plagued with currency shortages from the 14th century, at which a 'standard formula' had been devised to cure the problem. We use a cash-in-advance model of commodity money to define a currency shortage, show that they could develop and persist under commodity money regime, and analyze the role played by each ingredient in the standard formula. A companion paper documents the evolution of monetary theory, monetary experiments and minting technology over the course of six hundred years.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Pet Animal Welfare Society of Connecticut (PAWS), Norwalk, CT, USA
I started volunteering at PAWS in 2004. Since my retirement, I am there several times a week. PAWS has an amazing network of of volunteers who love the animals as their own, and are vested in their care, socialization, and adoption. It is so rewarding to see a lost, frightened animal become a loving candidate for a forever home. My sister and I have fostered and/or adopted 6 PAWS dogs since 2005. Never has PAWS denied medical care or procedures for our fosters. The knowledgable staff is always available for advice and help to anyone who asks.

I'm a sucker for flavoured blacks, and I've never had one I didn't like, but this one is beyond DELISH!
It's definitely a dessert tea. It's not lying about the rose either. You can really taste it but it doesn't overpower the other flavours. It's slightly nutty, but not so nutty that is the main flavour. All of the flavours balance out very evenly, which is lovely. (That's kind of my biggest peeve with flavoured teas, is when one flavour is kinda sticking out too much to enjoy the others).
If you want something that's really black tea-y then I wouldn't suggest it. It's really floating around in there with all the other stuff so more difficult to pick up on.
It is full bodied, very tasty hot, and if you accidently let it sit for a bit and it cools off too much it is not at all bitter.
Probably my new favourite dessert tea (but nothing will surpass a perfect creamy earl gray).

SACRAMENTO — Small business owner Andy Pugno announced his candidacy for State Assembly, District 6, saying that his real-world experience owning and operating a small business, combined with his proven record of effective leadership, makes him the right choice for voters who want to get California back on track.
"The 6th Assembly District is one of the last conservative strongholds in California. Its residents deserve an accessible representative who will provide aggressive leadership on the issues that matter to them," Pugno said when he announced his candidacy on the Eric Hogue radio show.
Having built a successful business helping hundreds of local families and small businesses to reduce their taxes and cope with government regulations, and having served as a deputy city attorney working on local government issues such as land use, economic development and transportation, Pugno enters the race for Assembly with knowledge and experience on the issues that matter most to the people of the 6th Assembly District.
Pugno also noted his role as the author and chief legal counsel for Proposition 8. After winning two cases in the California Supreme Court defending traditional marriage since Prop 8's passage, Andy is now defending the people's vote for Proposition 8 in federal court.
"I've had countless conversations with people in this area about their thoughts on the issues affecting their families and our state," said Pugno. "The common thread is that the current crop of incumbent, entitled legislators is out of touch with the realities facing working families. Nothing short of a dramatic change in direction will put the shine back on our Golden State."
Pugno points to the state's out-of-control deficit spending, over-regulation that is strangling small businesses and the increasing burden of funding overly-generous pensions at the expense of education and public safety as issues he'll tackle if elected.
"We can send anyone downtown to push the red or green voting buttons on the Assembly floor," Pugno said. "But that's not enough. We need a warrior who will fight for bold and common sense solutions."
Immediately after announcing his candidacy, Pugno called on his Republican opponent, incumbent Beth Gaines, to sign a groundbreaking pledge to unite the Republican Party after the primary election in June.
"The primary election is the time for competition between the candidates and giving the voters more choices," Pugno said. "But as a result of the new rules under which the top two vote-getters advance to the general election in November, there is a possibility of two Republicans facing off in this district.
"We don't need Republicans beating each other up in the November election. So I pledge that in the November election I will support whichever Republican candidate comes out on top in the June primary election. And I ask my Republican opponent to join me in pledging to do the same," said Pugno.
"People are sick and tired of politics as usual. We need leaders who will work for the people they represent, not for their own personal gain. Agreeing to support the top vote-getting Republican so as to avoid a fight between Republicans in the November election is an obvious way of honoring the will of the voters who pick their standard bearer in the primary election," he added. "I hope my opponent will join me in committing to honor the wishes of the voters in June."

Thermal Flashlight (http://publiclaboratory.org/tool/thermal-photography) built around ATMega328p on an Adafruit permaproto board (https://www.adafruit.com/products/571).
At its heart is an Arduino and a touchless thermometer which then illuminates the subject with a color based on the temperature.
I implemented the whole thing at 3.3V so that four AA batteries would run it for a good while.
Although the backlight and the lights are powered directly from Vbatt, but everything else is from a 3.3V regulator. And the processor is running on its internal 8MHz clock (valid for 3.3V operations).
It includes a nice snap-together case for the Adafruit board and an LCD and a similar battery-holder.
Printed in PLA on a Makerbot Replicator (original) should not require any support material. I even added a few break-away supports where it seemed wise. Make sure to print "face-down." Some of the STL files may need rotating.
The snap-together joints require much more force than you'd think. They seem ok with 20% infill. Although the "brain top" should probably be 100% given all the little stand-offs inside.
The "brain top" also likely needs tweaking for the exact dimensions of your LCD. So measure twice and print once. [Well... measure and print at a 2:1 ratio at least.]
This is very much a 1.0 release with a number of non-fatal flaws:
The sensor head needs a better back and a maybe a bit more coverage, plus should be printed in a opaque medium. The battery compartment could be smaller and needs something to keep the batteries from just falling out, but I was trying to minimize the number of new elements i had to design. The connectors are too rigid and the cable space is too small. The power-switch mount needs more tweaking, as is it doesn't quite snap right nor nold the switch without some glue.

Sheets addresses those who questioned toughness
Sheets addresses those who questioned toughness
MILWAUKEE -- Ben Sheets returned to Miller Park on Monday and responded to those who questioned his toughness when an elbow injury forced an unceremonious end to his eight years with the Brewers. "I don't think about it, but I'll get asked about it, and that makes me think," Sheets said on Monday, when he returned as a member of the Braves. "Really, I wasn't bitter or mad or anything. It's just -- that was what the arm said I had. The arm was done. Regardless of what I wanted or the team wanted, there was nothing else in there. There was nothing left to give. The elbow was pretty shot. "If you didn't believe it at the time, look at my career since then, since '08. There hasn't been much of one."
There was surgery for a torn flexor tendon, the injury that sidelined Sheets for his final days with the Brewers, including their first postseason series, in 2008. There was Tommy John surgery. There was a 2009 season spent rehabbing, and a 2010 season with the A's in which he retore the flexor tendon. He signed with the Braves in July and won his first three starts and four of his first five. Then he lost three consecutive poor starts and was placed on the disabled list with inflammation in his shoulder. So Sheets returned to Miller Park with his right shoulder aching but functional, his sense of humor intact. He threw a simulated game in an effort to convince the Braves to reinstate him from the disabled list, whether to start, to work long relief or even an inning at a time.
Asked how that session went, Sheets didn't miss a beat."I had to get three outs, so somewhere between 70 to 100 pitches," he quipped. Sheets readily admits that he is not the same pitcher he was in 1999, when the Brewers made him a first-round Draft pick; or 2000, when he pitched the U.S. to a gold medal in the Sydney Olympics; or 2001, when he was a National League All-Star as a rookie; or 2004, when he might have contended for the Cy Young Award if he pitched for a winning team; or 2008, when he started the All-Star Game. He ranks among the Brewers' all-time top 10 in every statistical category, including No. 1 in strikeouts, with 1,206, but fell just short of being beloved because of a string of ill-timed injuries. The most serious was in 2008, when he went 13-7 with a 2.82 ERA through his first 28 starts, his elbow just beginning to give him trouble. He was a pending free agent with two young sons, one just born the year before, and had he shut down then, he would have received a mega-contract in the offseason. But the Brewers were chasing their first postseason berth in 26 years and Sheets wanted to be part of it, so he kept pitching. He struggled through a Sept. 11 game in Philadelphia, then lasted only two innings in Chicago six days later and felt a tear in the elbow. Ten days after that, made it to the third inning against the Pirates and was done. Four trying years later, he insists he has no regrets. "I wouldn't change a thing," he said. "I had a great time here." These days he is working with a shoulder that "hates baseball" but a heart that remains in the game. He would not commit to pitching again in 2013, but he wants badly to get back on the mound as the Braves try to pin down the NL's top Wild Card spot. His return to Miller Park was a bit strange. He'd only been in the visitors' clubhouse once in eight years with the Brewers, for a fan event. "I definitely remember the last four years as opposed to the first four years," he said. "In '01 we had a lot of fans because it was the opener [of Miller Park], but '02, '03, '04, it was kind of slim. At the end we put a better product on the field, and they started to come out in support. The group [of prospects] they brought up around '05, '06, that was a pretty special group. ... "I had a great time. They were terrible when I got here, and then when I left, we were a pretty good team. You saw it kind of build early."

OTTAWA - The Conservative government is asking Canada's top court to put a rush on its legal opinion on the constitutionality of Senate reform.
Federal Justice department lawyers filed a motion for an "expeditious" hearing with the Supreme Court of Canada on Feb. 7.
"The action is consistent with our aim in pursuing the (legal opinion), which is to accelerate the pace of reform and to lay the foundation for further reform," said Kate Davis, spokeswoman for Democratic Reform Minister Tim Uppal, on Friday.
It also asked a Quebec court to put that province's request - filed May 2012 - on the constitutionality of Senate reform on ice while the top court tackles the issue.

Performing a number of her hits including "Crazy In Love" and "Halo," and, alongside Kelly and Michelle for the hotly-anticipated Destiny's Child reunion, a medley of "Bootylicious," "Independent Women," as well as "Single Ladies," Queen B remained the clear focus of attention, even among the pyrotechnics, Destiny's Child associates, and stage full of lights and dancers.
Right after the performance, half of the stadium's lights went out, prompting Jay-Z to hop on Twitter for a well-timed tweet showing support:

An individual claiming to be with the Smith County Sheriff's Office is contacting individuals claiming that they owe fines for missing jury duty. This is a scam and the person is not connected to the Sheriff's Office.
Since Monday, four additional Smith County citizens have been contacted by a man claiming to be collecting fines for not showing up for jury duty. A Smith County woman was allegedly taken for $500 through the same scam tactics reported on January 13. There are currently no outstanding warrants related to any jury summons and no one from the Smith County Sheriff's Office or any other law enforcement agency is collecting fines by phone. If you are contacted by the man perpetrating this scam, please note the phone number and contact the Smith County Sheriff's Office immediately.
Recently, a man contacted an individual in the Whitehouse area saying that they owed a fine for missing jury duty. He instructed the individual to go to a local pharmacy and buy a pre-paid money card, and then call back with the numbers on the back of the card.
The individual did as instructed, but was then contacted again by the man saying that the card did not go through and that they would need to purchase another and call back with the new numbers. Before the person called back with the second set of numbers, they spoke with the Whitehouse Police Department, who told them it was a scam.
Everyone who receives a jury summons should report for jury duty as instructed, but no member of the Smith County Sheriff's Office or any other law enforcement agency will contact a citizen and ask for a fine to be paid in this manner.
Anyone who receives a similar call is asked to contact the Smith County Sheriff's Office immediately at 903-566-6600.

I have created this thread so we can discuss what plastics were used for the original ANH, and ESB refurbished, helmets, as well as the colour of the plastics used. Also, I'll do a little history intro.
Info and pictures from StarWarsHelmets.com, some of it has been modified to what we know/think nowadays:
The design work for these characters can be traced back to Ralph McQuarrie's early drawings and paintings produced in 1975 as part of George Lucas' wish to help visualise the movie for Fox company execs..
Moving on a year or so to February 1976 as pre-production started in London, an original clay sculpt was produced of the Stormtrooper helmet (by Liz Moore) and armour (by Brian Muir) which was then moulded by plasterers, refined by Brian Muir, moulded and then casted for production. As you can see at this stage in the design process the sculptor was by now very close to nailing the finished screen look. - especially when you look at the curves around the frown and nose sections.
The physical manufacturing (vacuumforming) of the helmets and armor were the responsibility of Andrew Ainsworth (AA) at Shepperton Design Studios in Twickenham, established a few years earlier in 1974. Ainsworth and SDS became a key element in the production process given their manufacturing input into a significant number of helmets and costuming parts for the movie including the Stormtrooper, TIE Pilot, Death Star Gunner, Imperial Guard, Rebel X and Y-Wing pilots, Rebel Fleet Trooper and Rebel Ground Crew/Guards.
Here a shot of some partially completed helmets and armor outside Shepperton Design Studio's near London in March 1976. As you can see the helmets have all been spray-painted, and many have the ears and brow trims attached. If you look closely the "mic tips" look more bulbous and less defined than the screen-used ones suggesting that they were replaced by the Art department at the Studio. Behind them you can see some vac-formed sheets of armor, ready to go to the Studio where John Mollo's team assembled the costumes.
SDS's original receipts dating back to 1976 show that in total they fabricated fifty-six Stormtrooper helmets, twelve Imperial Forces' (Gunner) helmets, twelve Imperial (TIE) Fighter Pilots' helmets and twenty X-Wing Fighter Pilots' helmets - along with the Imperial Guards and of course the Stormtrooper and TIE Armour.
Ainsworth was initially approached to produce around 50 Stormtrooper helmets. However, as soon as he began he realised that the complex shape of their design (such as the male and female curves on the helmet rear) WE THINK he used a less than ideal kind of plastic, High Density Poly Ethylene. HDPE is a flexible material now used to make things like milk cartons, but the khaki-green coloured sheets (TWO diferent colours were used) Ainsworth used required him to spray-paint them white. So fifty of these "Stunt" helmets were produced and the vast majority of Stormtroopers you see in the movie are them.
However, because painted helmets don't look all that great under close scrutiny, Lucasfilm/Mollo requested that Ainsworth also produce six "close up" helmets when Stormtrooper were to be featured more prominently - such as when Luke and Han are disguised as Stormtroopers (although they can also be seen in numerous other shots as well). We refer to these six as the "Hero" Stormtrooper helmets as they were made to a higher specification, vac-formed in a shiny white ABS plastic, and have a higher quality of detailing, including curved eye lenses. Hence in the screen-shot below the Hero is on the Left, with the Stunt on the Right. Note that the armor is the same, only the helmets varied.
The Empire Strikes Back - For the sequel, Mollo and his team simply re-used the same Stormtrooper costumes and helmets that had previously been used in A New Hope. This was the simplest solution since less than a dozen were required - and it also saved them money on what was a strict budget. For Return of the Jedi over 50 were needed so new armor and helmets were produced - cast from an original ANH set.

It's been more than four months since the release of '68 Scars #1, so we're glad to see the series returns with its latest issue tomorrow. To get you ready for the upcoming release, we have two alternate covers and a 6-page preview:
"In the heart of war-torn Saigon, a handful of battered survivors hold Tan Son Nhat Airport against an endless army of Viet Cong and the shambling dead. Crumbling bunkers defend the outer perimeter as inside... a seething hatred builds. And in the jungle, the desperate remainders of a deep recon SEAL team meet their luckless rescuers in the dripping shadows of a tropical slaughterhouse.
As old wounds heal, new ones open... and souls are laid bare.
Creators MARK KIDWELL, NAT JONES and JAY FOTOS continue their epic of military/zombie horror in this second part of the ongoing '68 series: '68: SCARS!"

Good Points
Affordability and T.V out function.
Bad Points
Noisey hard drive (mine makes a horrible 'clonking' noise all too often. Inherent touchpad problem that has the pointer doing its own thing.Small hard drive.
General Comments
For the money the pcg-fx501 is an adequate first foray into the world of laptops ,it is let down by a dodgy touchpad that has the screen pointer sometimes doing its own thing. Also I tried to get a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card working but ,to no avail ,even after upgrading to XP sp1.Things must also get hot inside as the fan never lets up ,better than a fried processor I suppose!.
Unfortunatley ,I think their web site is a bit long winded to find what you want and seems to have given up catering for this model.

Nov 30, 2006 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
A little more practice time for the Marcellus girls basketball team translated into wondrous early results.
The Mustangs made a stirring rally in last Wednesday's regular-season opener against defending Class B-2 champion Bishop Ludden, beating the Gaelic Knights 48-46.
Marcellus had all kinds of trouble in 2005-06, going 2-17. Part of the struggles was the fact that so many players had to make a quick transition from soccer (the Mustangs made the state finals in 2005 and played deep into November) to hoops.
This fall, Marcellus fell out much earlier in the soccer playoffs (in the sectional semifinals, to Westhill), and players like Sarah Holden, Alicia Hunt, Emily Zimmerman and Rachel Farneti had a full amount of time to prepare for basketball.
That difference showed in the early going against Ludden, as it controlled the paint and steadily built a 23-18 advantage by halftime.
Appearing to turn it around, the Gaelic Knights used the hot shooting of Molly Byrne (21 points) and Ashley Cianfraglia (13 points) to surge to a 38-33 lead by the tail end of the third quarter.
Marcellus absorbed the blow — then made its own rally, getting even, 46-46, as regulation time wound down.
Hunt got open and, with 17 seconds left, sank a shot to break the tie. That proved to be the game-winning basket, as the Mustangs' defense prevented Ludden from answering before the clock hit zero.
Hunt finished with 14 points, including six from the free-throw line, but it was Holden that proved to be the biggest threat, with 18 points. Kaity Falge and Leanne Falge both earned six points.

Building the Hi-Fi House Page 3
Next, I needed to consider acoustic isolation---keeping noise from the rest of the house out of the listening room, and keeping music in it. Perfect isolation within an integral, one-piece structure is nearly impossible, of course, at least not without resorting to drastic measures. But there are a few almost sensible possibilities.
One of the listening room's long walls is shared with the garage. That, plus the outside walls which occupy perhaps one-quarter of the room's perimeter, take care of more than half the problem. For the two walls adjoining other living spaces, I used an insulated, double-stud construction consisting of two 2" by 4" stud walls, each with its own separate footing, separated by a small air space to keep them from touching each other (footnote 3).
When wallboarded on both room sides and insulated, the result is a break in the structural continuity between the listening room's walls and the walls of adjoining rooms which dramatically reduces sound transmission. And while, contrary to popular belief, insulation within the wall space does very little to minimize transmission of sound, it does limit wall-cavity resonances, which can reduce the effective isolation at those resonant frequencies. Such insulation should be loosely packed, as dense packing would have the effect of coupling the two sides of the wall---the very thing we're trying to avoid.
Unfortunately, construction practices required that my isolating double walls be attached at the top. I did request that the builder extend the double walls all the way to the roof line (with typical Santa Fe flat-roof construction, that's about 18" above the ceiling) to prevent the sound from bypassing the walls through the attic space. Unfortunately, he failed to understand or follow this specification.
To minimize sound transmission through the attic, I asked that a 1"-thick barrier consisting of two thicknesses of Sheetrock be glued and screwed into the trusses in the attic space which separated the listening room from the adjoining rooms. The builder, who by now was sure I was crazy, complied---at least for one of the walls. On the other, the attic structure was complex enough that I wanted to do it myself to ensure that it was done right. I spent many a chilly March afternoon cutting Sheetrock into small enough spaces to fit the gaps, gluing it into place in a double layer, then using silicone caulk to fill in any gaps. I also used silicone caulking to fill problematic-looking gaps in the pre-Sheetrocked walls, and used expandable aerosol foam (nasty stuff) to fill larger gaps.
The house was to have in-floor heating, so noise isolation here wasn't a problem. However, a roof-mounted swamp cooler feeding the rooms via air ducts threatened to be. The ducts couldn't be lined---the cooler would cause moisture absorption in any insulated lining. I ran a completely separate duct from the listening room to the cooler---a distance of about 25'---so that any sound traveling from another room would have to go all the way back to the cooler through its own duct, then another 25' to get to the listening room.
A room's door often defeats attempts at sound isolation. Fortunately, the layout of my house allowed for two doors between the listening room and the other common areas of the house---one in the room itself, another in an adjoining hallway. For the hallway, I chose a double-glass door intended for outdoor use, with full, weather-stripped frame and threshold. The door to the listening room is a normal interior door with a gap at the bottom. So far, it's been more than adequate; but it could be changed to a heavy, solid-core door with a seal at the bottom if further isolation is ever needed. The large windows in the room are of double-paned, insulated glass. Because of the relatively isolated nature of the house, I thought more elaborate window treatment would be unnecessary; so far, this judgment has proven correct.
Footnote 3: Another technique, simpler, less expensive, and nearly as effective, is to use staggered 2x4 studs on a 2x6 or larger footer, so that no one stud makes contact with both wall surfaces---though the footers do. I opted for the more elaborate construction; had I chosen the other and been disappointed, there'd have been no going back.
