When I first learned about the publication of this book, my initial reaction was keen disappointment. I had, to a small degree, researched the lives of early 20th century illustrators Elizabeth Shippen Green and Jessie Wilcox Smith, and was captivated by them. I knew that for many years they shared a home in an idyllic old house on Philadelphia's main line with a third artist, Violet Oakley, and a fourth friend, Harriet Cozzens, who did the gardening and managed the household. I was going to wri...more
Beautiful picture book and bio. of turn of the century illustrators Jessie Wilcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green, and Violet Oakley who set up household with Henrietta Cozens.
Their idyllic life ended with the marriage of Green. They were independent, brilliant artists whose lesbian relationships were not publicly recognized. Victorian society allowed young women to be effusively in love.
I need to see Oakley's mural in the Cuyahoga County Courthouse. It measures 15 X 41 feet and is called The co...more

For a book about three painters, there were definitely not enough pictures. And the odd focus on whether they were lesbians or not, well---I appreciate historical context, but to keep referring to the issue over and over instead of talking about them as painters and their work was simply annoying. Add that to the fact that the author did not make it easy to keep track of which artist was which (pick a last name or a first name, not either/or) - it was just not as good as I wanted it to be. I enj...more
Other people are complaining that there's too much talk about whether or not the artists were lesbians, but I really felt like there wasn't all that much. I've known Jessie Willcox Smith's work but hadn't known about the others or the household they built, and found all of that fascinating. it's got me wondering whether we're the first lesbian family to live in our 110-year-old house!
The red rose girls were four early twentieth century women- two being successful illustrators of the time, one equally successful muralist and the fourth rose...the woman who took care of the home they all resided in. They swore allegiance to their arrangement for all time, which did last for many years. A wonderful story of community, collaboration, love and art!
I was fascinated to learn more about Jessie Willcox Smith and her artist friends, Violet Oakley and Elizabeth Shippen Green who inhabited Red Rose Inn managed by thier friend Henrietta Cozens who had no career aspirations. Jessie was very successful and today best known for her monthly Good Housekeeping Covers for nearly 30 years and her illustrations for childrens books. One tribute to her was "nothing morbid or bitter ever came from her brush". Violet Oakley painted huge murals for the state h...more
Love this. Had it for a while and never read it, although I browsed the pages. Excellent. I love artist and writer communities.
I love everything about this book. I love the social history, women's history and art history. I even love the layout of the book. This is not a book for kindle, you need to savor the full color illustrations. Finally, I love the story. What amazing women and a sweet story of friendship and productive art careers.

Give your old shirt a new home
We all have a surplus of shirts at the back of our wardrobes that we never wear; it's now time to dig them out and head on down to this year's "National Shirt Exchange Week", which runs from September 26th to October 2nd. To mix things up, T.M.Lewin is teaming up with Shelter, a housing and homelessness charity, which not only means the shirts that you don't want become something that someone else does want, but you're also doing your bit as a good samaritan.
Each shirt you donate will be given to Shelter, and in return T.M.Lewin will donate £2 per sale. And before you start making an excuse like, "But I can't make it to the store!" there will also be a shirt exchange initiative available online, where you will be sent a donation bag to take shirts to your local Shelter store.
To celebrate this wonderful cause, T.M.Lewin will be building a house made of donated shirts in Paternoster Square, London (26th) and in Spinningfields, Manchester (28th) from 8am to 6:30pm. There's just one condition – the "White Label" collection is not included in this initiative. But get on down and help out – who knows, you might even spot a famous face or two.
For more information on Shelter and their happenings, visit their official website.
Shelter is a registered charity in England and Wales (263710) and in Scotland (SC002327)

Focus on my medals, not my hair says Gabby Douglas
(Gregory Bull, The Associated Press)
Gabby Douglas sees nothing wrong with her hair - she's been styling it that way for years. But critics watching the double-gold winner weren't going to give her any medals for hairstyling. Social media lit up with comments about her messy ponytail.
"I don't know where this is coming from. What's wrong with my hair?" said the 16-year-old, according to the Associated Press.
Douglas, who is the first U.S. gymnast to win gold in team and all-around competition, added, "I'm like, 'I just made history and people are focused on my hair?' It can be bald or short, it doesn't matter about (my) hair."
Critics argue the gymnast should be sporting a tight bun, similar to the style worn by ballerinas.
Douglas uses gel, clips and a ponytail holder to prep her hair for competition - and, despite the critique on social media, she has no plans to change her performance look.

Another week has whizzed past and we all hear the spring calling us (well I do !) I hope half term has been good to those of you with school aged children or who work in the education system. I've certainly had a fab time. A whole day of crafting with friends, time spent with our little guest Bean and the icing on the cake my northern babies home for a long weekend! Splendid times for all! I have also agreed to a having a stall at a craft fair in March which is a new road for me. I normally only do commission orders and on line sales. Not sure how it's going to work out, not convinced it's a good idea but lets give it a go! Any advice would be gratefully received!
I hope you all enjoy this weeks craftiness, last week's was so jam packed it took me nearly all day to get through and read everything! You continue to astound me with your talent and imagination. My normal Monday morning will have to be pushed forward to Tuesday this week (airport run!) and so bear with me I will read them all and I'm sure they will be every bit as wonderful as lasts weeks!!

It's taken me a while to come round to enjoying Hama beads with my girls. To start with they were just too fiddly and time consuming, which inevitably ended up with tears of frustration. Then there's the mess … those beads get everywhere!

Me He & Them – Caterpillars
A recent bout of jet lag led to Little Miss A waking up at 5 am for several days in a row. Our morning routine and eating breakfast only made a small dent in our very early start to the day, so I decided to roll out the craft box to kill some time.
We eat a lot of eggs at Casa Little Miss A, so I thought of making a family of caterpillars out of an old egg carton – like I did as a school aged child.

The Magicka game looks cool. I might try it out in a little while. To avoid the hype traps, I tend to only buy games after they have been out for a while. In the case of Magicka, it is good to delay since the game was so buggy. Maybe when I get around to playing it, it will all be patched up.
There is never a reason to rush to a store to buy a game. A good game will remain good a year from now. However, the Industry keeps pushing us to buy the game immediately before everyone realizes how crappy the game is actually is. And these people wonder why used stores exist.
As for the blue ocean and disruption articles, I'll look to be putting them up soon enough.
Also note, the more I post, the more emails come flooding in. I read them all. I try to put up all I can. But I cannot get to all of them because more come in than what I can actually post.
As for this website stopping, that will occur once the Music entries hit 100.

Scalloped Potatoes
This is delicious. However, my grandchildren love mashed potatoes so much that I find myself
making those rather than this fine and easy dish.
4 or 5 large potatoes
1 medium onion
1 stick butter
1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
over to 350°. Melt butter in 9 x 13 baking dish. Peel and wash potatoes, slice them thin and place in melted butter in
baking dish. Cover with peeled and sliced thin onions. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Add milk. Cook for 35 minutes. Add grated
cheddar cheese and cook an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
Look for next week's recipe -- Pumpkin Soup.

We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-5.5 fori386 and x86_64 Architectures.CentOS-5.5 is based on the upstream release EL 5.5 and includespackages from all variants including Server and Client. All upstreamrepositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for endusers to work with.This is just an announcement email, not the release notes. The ReleaseNotes for CentOS-5.5 can be found on-line at :http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.5 and everyone isencouraged to look through them once. Also worth browsing through are the CentOS FAQs at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ+++++++++++++++++++++++Upgrading from CentOS-5.4 ( or CentOS-5.0 / 5.1 / 5.2 / 5.3 ):If you are already running CentOS-5.4 or an older CentOS-5 distro, allyou need to do is update your machine via yum by running :'yum update'Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, soyou can get a list of packages that are going to be updated. To checkyou are indeed on CentOS-5.5, run : 'rpm -q centos-release' and thatshould return: 'centos-release-5-5.el5.centos'+++++++++++++++++++++++Live-CD:LiveCDs for CentOS-5.5 on i386 and x86_64 are being released at the same time as the main distro. The LiveCDs are meant to be used to run a CentOS 5.5 environment or to start a network based install. The LiveCDs are setup in a way so as to allow running from either optical media like cds and dvds or from USB keys and other portable media.+++++++++++++++++++++++Change in iso counts:The i386 distro is now spread onto 7 CD iso files, while the x86_64 distro is now 8 CD isos. The x86_64 DVD set is now spread over 2 DVD isos, while the i386 DVD remains as 1 iso file.We've had to split the x86_64 dvd media over multiple disks due to the increase in the binary packages size. We have, however, tried to build them in a way that dvd#1 should be all that is needed by most people. x86_64 DVD#2 is limited to some OpenOffice.org language packages. x86_64 DVD#1 includes the rest of the distro and also includes the most popular OpenOffice.org language packs. More details on the exact split are available in the Release Notes.+++++++++++++++++++++++Downloading CentOS-5.5 for new installs:When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Not onlydoes it help the community and keeps mirrors from running up highbandwidth bills, in most cases you will find its also the fastest meansto download the distro. There are currently over three hundred peopleseeding CentOS-5 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads viathese torrents.-- Via BitTorrent :CD:http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-1to7.torrenthttp://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrentDVD:http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.torrenthttp://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrentLiveCD:http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/i386/CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD.torrenthttp://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-LiveCD.torrentmd5sum's for these torrent files:cdc45af66bf92987ada310e251d43398 CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-1to7.torrent5f623a38eab7f5eae21c3c4e3fe80c04 CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent489aba8ea3d9f82973728813f5c1d0ad CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrenta001e84db58e59113a83cf06730bf7fc CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.torrent3836afe12e27435ff928e35f2d85db10 CentOS-5.5-i386-LiveCD.torrent55a40ba2e170a6bd424732d4c4116041 CentOS-5.5-x86_64-LiveCD.torrent-- Via direct download:Due to bandwidth considerations the CentOS Project does not publish ISOS directly from our network machines.

TRAVIS BARKER – Is He Back Together With His Ex Wife Shanna Moakler?
Travis Barker, former drummer of Blink 182, was seen lunching with his daughter in Santa Monica this week. On October 18th, he was released from the Grossman Burn Center after having multiple surgeries. Travis Barker along with DJ AM, survived a horrific plane crash that took the life of his best friend Chris Baker.
On the romance front, his on/off again relationship with his ex wife Shanna Moakler, is definitely back on. In a recent interview, Moakler said she was suppose to be on the plane with Barker but chose not to go.
Earlier this month, Barker admitted he was incredibly lucky to be alive following the horrific accident.
He said: 'I hate planes. My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened… well, I'm just thankful to be alive. I'm just grateful to be here at all.
'I've just been in surgery after surgery. I have third degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands was second degree burns and one was third degree burns. 'I'm trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again.'
The couple, who divorced last year, are the parents of son Landon, four, and daughter Alabama, two. Looking at the pics, I would say Barker looks better than expected.
Barker a Scorpio, is definitely an intense guy and has a strong will to live. Astrologically, it looks like 2009 will be a positive year for him creatively. On his relationship with Moakler, it looks like they will continue their love rollercoaster. She's an Aries and very stubborn. Either way, we're happy to see him on the mend.

How does a horse grow? Most horses are raised on farms. A female horse will give birth to a baby horse, or foal. The foal drinks its mother's milk, and also eats grass and grain. When it is one year old, it is called a yearling until it turns three. Then it's a horse!

Footsteps of a Dinosaur Deity
In 1999, construction workers creating a highway from Tibet's Bangda Airport to Changdu County uncovered a set of enormous tracks. They had been left more than 160 million years ago by a large sauropod dinosaur, but the local Tibetan people had other interpretations. Some believed that the tracks had been left by the "Deity of the Mountains," scared away by the noise of the construction, while others asserted that the tracks were left by King Gesar, the legendary star of one of the world's longest epic poems.
This was not the first time that fossils have been mistaken for the signs of gods, monsters, and heroes. Thanks to the work of historians such as Adrienne Mayor, we now know that fossils have been inspiring myths and legends for centuries. It has only been very recently, since the 17th century, that we have recognized what they truly are. What makes the case of the Tibet tracks unusual, however, is that the myths surrounding their origin are entirely new and sprang up as soon as the tracks were discovered. Given the shape of at least two of the traces, it isn't difficult to see how they were interpreted as the footsteps of a giant human.
The details of the tracks have just been reported by Xing Li-da, Jerald Harris and Philip Currie in the Geological Bulletin of China. Arrayed on part of a cliff face tilted almost perpendicular to the ground, the slab contains multiple footprints from at least three different trackways, all left by sauropod dinosaurs. Among them are two sets of front- and hind-foot impressions that were close enough together to make the shape of a large human-type foot. Close inspection shows that these particular traces were made by the hindfoot coming down close to where the front foot had lifted up, but it is easy to see how they could have been mistaken for something else. (Even naturalists have made this sort of mistake. In the 1880s, some naturalists mistook the footprints of a giant ground sloth found in Nevada for those of an immense, sandal-wearing human.)
Exactly what species of dinosaur left the track is unknown. Early and Middle Jurassic trackways are rare, and there are no corresponding body fossils to identify the dinosaur. Based on the width of the trackways, though, the paleontologists propose that the tracks were left by a titanosauriform dinosaur—a variety of sauropod known for leaving wide-gauge trackways. This identification of the tracks has not dissuaded the local people for leaving colorful scarves at the site as friendship offerings, though. In an article about the find in the People's Daily, lead author Xing reported that some worshipers at the site are now paying homage to a dinosaur god. The modern mythology surrounding the tracks remains.

Although we may presume that most scientists are free from bias, this is a Chinese scientist remarking upon something in Tibet. The Chinese government makes ethnographic assumptions about Tibetian culture, and thus we ought to question this story a little more rigorously.

What are your recomendations for books on boat repair? Carvel planking in particular.
What are your recomendations for books on boat repair? Carvel planking in particular.
Jason, there is an out of print book by Allen Taube called Boatwrights Companion / Repairs Below the Water Line. This book can usually be found at places like ABE books or other used book brokers.
Another one is by Jim Trefethen, its called, Wooden Boat Renovation.
Both are well worth having .
One thing I found very helpful is to use the Wooden Boat article search and purchase the relevant back issues. Treasure trove of detailed info and extremely useful.
The other thing is go to a busy yard and ask workers and owners and look at the good restorations and the disasters in progress.
I'll ditto Wooden Boat Renovation and throw in that giant chunk of ballast, Details of Classic Boat Construction; The Hull.
Would that be with or without "the purist crap?"
2 books from WoodenBoat which are helpful are:
"Planking and Fastening" and "Frame, Stem and Keel Repair."
Another that slipped my mind is by Walter J. Simmons, Repairs.
Anybody mention Chapelle Boatbuilding?
Boatwrights Companion is worth the look for, sorry to hear it is out of print. Try the library.
How to Build a Wooden Boat by Bud McIntosh Absolutely the greatest. Excellent illustrations by Sam Manning.
Wooden Boat Store
It covers every aspect of building from laying down lines to launching. GOod Stuff
Good Luck.
Elliot White
Hey True Love...how about books with both. One thing most here know is that if you do have a wooden boat there are certain things that must be repaired in the proper fashion, a main one is the hull. Even if you plan to use modern methods or technology to improve on it later you still need a solid foundation on which start with and build upon. I am here to learn not argue about opinions that are generally pretty well set in stone. There are the few books I have purchased so far, however I am still looking for recommendations on other helpful resources. Thanks everyone for you input.
Also I did check out some reviews on
"Wooden Boat Renovation: New Life for Old Boats Using Modern Methods"
by Jim Trefethen. It seems that everyone has been pretty pleased with this book so it is on its way now as well. And again keep you comments coming.

The 28-year old was the subject of a bid from Manchester United this summer, the eventual destination of team-mate Marouane Fellaini, but he will remain at Goodison Park until January at least, where he has two years remaining on his current deal.
Martinez, who departed Baines' former club Wigan Athletic at the end of last season, thinks that the closure of the transfer window signals the right time to begin negotiations with the England international.
"When the window is open I think it's the wrong time to speak about those things and so we hadn't discussed it," he told reporters.
"But now the window is closed, we are going to look into all the players in the squad and see where their contracts are up to.
"Then, individually, we will look to address that.
"It would just have created more instability if we had done that while the window was open."
@theorangegoblin ur nit picking with that Wigan post, yes Baines started off at Wigan but lets call a spade a spade, Wigan are more of a rugy town and have never really been in the same league Everton or Utd. Do you think Utd are going to be in the top 4 forever and ever? Do you really??- boggo

South Africa's Leading Motivational Speaker and Life Coach
ArticlesBusiness Skills | Business Seminars | Business Training
Let's talk first about those that never start…… bottom line is a business can be the greatest asset you can imagine that produce the life style you desire, OR it can be the biggest liability you can possible find! Here is the real truth….. you get to decide which it is going to be…… with 1 single choice you are going to make in the next 2 minutes or less…..As much as statistics prove that a very small percentage makes it past the first years….this alarming low success rate is not the full truth….. Nor the real picture! When one have a look at all small and medium business success stories they all have 1 thing in common – skills and know how…… and even more important they have business skills in common! Likewise when we analyze the failed business again the have 1 thing in common – lack of skills and know how….. And again more importantly a lack of business skills! Regardless of whether you are in a existing business or thinking of starting a small work from home business or a small or medium set up somewhere and regardless of type of business the survival and success of your business lies in your business skill and know how….. Talk to hardened and successful business owners they will all tell you it is a bit lonely out there in the real business world….. what they mostly mean when they this is really a like minded community that can help and serve each other and most importantly the possibility to learn from each others mistakes and their successes! The streetwise business seminar has been designed to solve this massive problem, where small existing business owners can learn, and equally same with prospect new business owners….. A place where they can learn from seasoned business owners of what works in the real every day business world! This is not about the text book business school type of content and learning, in fact far from it, this all about "streetwise business" the nuts and bolts of what every business will face sooner or later! The stuff that WILL make or break the business! This seminar address what every entrepreneur will need to know sooner or later, but to best of my knowledge you will not find in a text book!We have no problem with business owners doing business management courses, in fact we encourage it, same with management courses, leadership course etc…. All these are great BUT you will also need also need to learn business strategies from OTHER business owners in addition to text book learning, they are mostly miles apart! Business studies done will clearly prove without any question the importance of a like minded business community! The learning from such communities are extremely valuable and in most cases it forms the foundation on which the business success from. Our business course teaches delegates the day to day nuts and bolts that create a repeatable system that keeps on producing a predicable result. There is no question that there be much more business courses offered by successful business owners, the reality off course is most are so caught up in either running their own business or enjoying the life style that it offers, that they simply never get around to sharing their skills so everybody's overall benefits. For this reason Work Your Wealth have facilitated an once off course where in put from some of the top business minds have been combined in 1 simple seminar! The intellectual capital into content of this course runs into multi millions of valuable in put.So much there is no doubt that any existing business owner will learn new business strategies and marketing strategies that will make a MASSIVE difference to your bottom line! Equally it open your eyes to a up tapped market you never knew existed, even if you did know, certainly you wouldn't be mining this market. You will learn business solutions you properly never heard of before, let alone how it works, how to go about it etc…..Amongst others by attending this once off course you will learn

Aiding Our Allies In Greece
United States of America
- July 10, 2007 11:46 PM (GMT)
ooc: Reposted from 'aiding our comrades in Greece'. To make clear what I'm doing, military training does not involve massive airlift for the training forces, we don't need that many of them in place to be effective and they can stay on military bases. Slipping into these and sabotaging the runways isn't so easy. The humanitarian supplies require far more transport space, and are going to civilian airports.
ic, secret: Message to the king of Greece. A very large shipment of surplus military hardware, including mortars, artillery, radios, medical supplies, gasoline, and small arms for your forces will be arriving in one week at Eleusis in six liberty ships. The ships are under Cypriot flag and registry. Counterintelligence has broadcast a weakly coded false message implying that such a shipment will be arriving in two weeks at Piraeus. Given the recent events in Greek ports, this seemed like a reasonable precaution, however it will probably only work once. Future shipments will rely on firmly securing the ports.
ooc: for a fun fictional take on wwii codebreaking and counterintelligence, read the cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson

Greece appreciates the aid and agree that those precautions were nessecary.
United States of America
- July 12, 2007 03:28 AM (GMT)
Ongoing policies in Greece, from minutes of White House cabinet meeting:
1) Supply humanitarian aid and assistance in impressive quantities. Extend this to the recently pacified areas.
2) CIA to seek and use human intel among the populace in the cities and as far into the countryside as it can reach. Coordinate this intel with the Greek.
3) Use ship-based Voice of America and BBC radio broadcasts to deliver popular music and dramatic programming and world news to the Nations around the North-Eastern Adriatic.
4) American Army tacticians and logistics experts to work with Greek Army on not getting killed in the field.
5) Encourage the Greek gov't to secure a part of the Port of Eleusis. This is smaller than the Piraeus and disruption here should cause less economic hardship. It's also easier to secure. Secure a portion of the port for military use only. No non-military are allowed onsite. Generally speaking the military doesn't use union stevedores to unload their supplies anyway. You don't want untrained men handling ordnance ;)
6) Continue direct military aid.
7) Continue training efforts.
8) Establish a small commission who's purpose is to reunite families separated by the civil war. See that their work is publicized.

Kyle O'Quinn of Jamaica, pictured, led 15th-seeded Norfolk State University in Virginia to a stunning upset over second-ranked Missouri last week in the opening round of the NCAA Division I Men's basketball championship tournament, scoring 26 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.
But the clock struck midnight for O'Quinn's Spartans, 26-10, on Sunday in a 84-50 loss to Florida.
O'Quinn, a 6-10 senior who attended Campus Magnet School in Cambria Heights, scored four points in the Florida game.
Teammate Marcos Tamares, a senior forward from Bayside, led all Norfolk State players in the Florida game with 12 points and tied for the lead with five rebounds. He also scored 11 in the upset over Missouri.
Junior forward A.J. Rogers, from Rosedale, scored seven points vs. Florida, while sophomore guard-forward Kievyn Lila-St. Rose from Corona scored two points.
O'Quinn finishes his career at Norfolk St. with more than 1,600 points. He was the Mid-East Athletic Conference defensive player of the year last year.

Will You Watch Westminster?
by POPSUGAR Pets 6
Of course, North and I will be tuning in to the 134th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Feb. 15 and 16 — we never miss it! Even though I'm disappointed that Mario Lopez can't host after all, maybe that would have proven too distracting from the pups?!
Regardless, dog show madness is starting (with the AKC/ Eukanuba National Championship airing this weekend) and I plan to lead up to the big NYC event with breed slideshows and show trivia before covering the winners — will you be watching it as well . . . or just waiting for my recaps?Source: Getty

one of the (few) times my decision to abandon cable is cursed. Despite many attempts I have located no way to watch this show online, a pity as I very much enjoy them.
I should clarify that there are plenty of pet owners too who are members of the local AKC club and do confirmation, agility, rally and obedience because of the bond it strengthens with their dog. Not everyone is a breeder.
I will try and find "Pedigree Dogs: exposed" to see what it is. I'm very active in my local AKC and just about all of the members are hobby breeders who are truly breed fanatics that love their dogs. The dogs all do agility, rally, obedience, and are certified therapy dogs.
I'm sure there are some badly treated dogs, all in the name of excellence, but overall the people I meet who compete are doing it because their dog loves it.
I think you should watch Pedigree dogs: exposed, to see your 'properly' bred animals...
I love the dog shows! I think that they strive to maintain the quality of the breeds, unlike what is happening to some poorly bred breeds such as the lab. The lab is so overbred with poor specimens of the breed that it's becoming bigger, less intelligent, and more hyper, rather than having the qualities the breed was treasured for having (loyalty, calm demeanor, intelligence). I think beneficial for people to realize what the breed should be like so that they can recognize poorly bred animals and not be fooled into buying those.
I truly think that the show ring, is rife with inbreeding and health problems, just look at the pug and bulldog.

IdiAminDaDa said:Two-tone @rse machine GTI, six-months' old with assorted findabs and whinnets...
blue32years said:Is it the mark 4 or 5 mate ?
And has it got a n 0b brush ?
IdiAminDaDa said:Depends if wifi and marginally better image quality is important to yer, like?
CharlieCroker said:I've had one of these for years. It is an original Mk1, with the oak-panelled cabinet. It still works as well as it did when it was new. Of course it is a bit noisier than the modern, electric versions, but the satisfaction it gives is just the same. Just thinking about the high, keening screech of the thrust/backflush relief valve sends a shiver down my spine. I remember when you could pick them up for buttons at house-clearance auctions, but it has all changed now- at Arsexpo 2012, there was a demonstration of an unrestored '53 model with maple splay arms. The insurance company had stationed over a dozen security guards around the stage, which was just as well- there are bound to be some ne'er-do-wells in a crowd of 50,000.
The_nob brush, in my opinion, is just a gimmick, added on to sell to arriviste_arse people, who joined the movement when the cost of the machines dropped below the price of a holiday in the 1990s. Seasoned_arse aficionados look down their noses at these contrivances, sticking to the rule that a separate_arse machine and_nob brush will always give superior results in the long term. Just read any of the periodicals- even downmarket rags, like "What_Arse Machine?" will confirm it.
I must confess to being something of an_arse machine evangelist- it does not take long for me to steer any conversation onto the subject! Arguably, its invention changed the world forever. Whether this is true or not, it has come to represent the zenith of the post-war technological revolution, the must-have luxury for every first world household. Who can forget the aching social tension of Abigail's Party- each character, in its own tortured way, hobbled by the unspoken, unfulfilled desire to own an_arse machine? Students of the play will smile knowingly at the subtle but precise references.
One word of warning if you are buying one of the more recent models- the clench inhibitor switch can get clogged up with fluff, if you don't blow it out after every session. These cost an arm and a leg to replace. You can get the parts for less than a grand but, if you don't know how to set the machine up afterwards, you can be in real trouble. The mess is not worth it- get a trained_arse technician to do the job.

I am all over this!! Tried to refinance from a 6.8% down to a 4.0% for a lower payment but was told by the bank I was under water and am capable of making the current payment. That is true and I have never missed a payment but who doesn't want to save some money? If I can get a refi with this program and cut my mortgage by $300 to $400 per month sign me up.

Hilco, Gordon Bros. to Buy LNT Name, Trademarks
By Carole Sloan -- Home Textiles Today, 1/26/2009 12:00:00 AM
Wilmington, Del. —
A joint venture between Hilco Consumer Capital and Gordon Brothers Brands will pay $1 million for Linens 'n Things' name, internet domain names, brands and other intellectual property.
"We're taking Linens 'n Things back to its roots and we're planning a number of concepts from a store within a store to a new website," Jamie Salter, ceo of Hilco Consumer Capital, told HTT.
"We see the potential as unlimited, especially with the iconic nature of the brand. It's up to us to provide the right experience, and there's a plethora of opportunity," added Brad Snyder, principal and managing director of Gordon Bros. Group.
While the deal will not close until Jan. 26, "It is the No. 2 brand in the country for home. The store-within-a-store concept could see 10,000 to 15,000 square-foot sites, and this year we plan for a new website. Monday (Jan. 26) the GOB sign will come down and we will have [our own] merchandising team or somebody else to develop the site," Salter remarked.
"It's a great concept but it needs to be repackaged," Salter commented. "And LNT did $300 million in Canada and it was working really well," he added.
The transaction, which was approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on Jan. 16, includes LNT's software and technology, advertising and marketing materials, databases, supplier lists, business and marketing plans and proposals. The bankrupt Linens 'n Things chain will continue to use the name under a royalty-free licensing arrangement until it has completed its liquidation.
The Hilco/Gordon Brothers venture — acting as management of the new intellectual property assets entity — will receive a $300,000 transaction fee at the close of the deal as well as a $350,000 annual management fee.
