News has hit the fashion world that a new relationship has formed and it's getting a lot of fans a bit hot under the collar. Maison Martin Margiela has teamed up with H&M and will be releasing a collection in selected H&M stores around the world in November this year.
Maison Martin Margiela is a French fashion house that made it's debut in 1988 and really tested and pushed the boundaries of acceptable fashions and trends. It's out-there looks and daring shapes soon caught on and were loved by many. He was one of the first fashion designers to follow the courageous deconstruction trend. This concept involved linings and seams to be positioned on the outside of the garment. It was a brave and bold move but one that paid off.
However, despite such success in his work designer Martin Margiela has kept a very low profile throughout his career as a fashion designer. He always steers clear of the spotlight and even after events or catwalk shows he stays firmly away from any paparazzi. We wonder with such a high profile career move whether he'll manage to stay backstage for much longer?
There's a lot of excitement and anticipation about what the partnership will represent but perhaps by taking a look at his current collections below will give us a little insight into what to expect. These are a few looks from his DÉFILÉ and PREMIÈRE collections.
With such unique and diverse style we can only imagine what fashion delights this new duo will bring us. That's definitely something to look forward to and that will keep us smiling even when the frost comes and the nights get darker. Don't forget to put November in your diary.

A Family for Thanksgiving
One couple's story of adopting though DHS
Empty vodka bottles surrounded the body of a 2-year-old boy named *Bud. He wasn't dead, just "zoned out," his way of coping with the trauma of his life. Adults were present in the home, but unavailable - they were all passed out, drunk.
On a different day, in the same house, a terrified 3-year-old girl named *Sister stared out the kitchen window, paralyzed as she watched her father set her mother's hair on fire. This was after her mother had been dragged from the house by her hair. The fight had started several minutes earlier at the dinner table.
After several instances like these, law enforcement removed Bud, Sister, and *Mini -- another sibling -- from their home near Tulsa in January 2010. Authorities placed the trio first in state custody at the Laura Dester Shelter and then into a series of foster homes. After almost two years, court officials terminated parental rights, and the children -- now adoptable --were matched in October 2011 with a newly married couple named Jason and Lindsay.
During November's National Adoption Month, stories of kids like this sibling group are highlighted to raise awareness of the thousands of children in state custody needing a home and a family.
Jason and Lindsay had been high school sweethearts and were in no hurry to have children. Lindsay, herself adopted, had thought about adoption but had put it on the back burner until she met an unforgettable little girl named *Jessie at the Bixby public school where she worked as a teacher's assistant.
"Jessie was in my kindergarten class. Although she smelled like pee all the time, had holes in her shoes, and struggled in almost every subject, she had the cutest smile and the sweetest disposition," Lindsay said. "She literally made my heart feel like it was melting. I knew she was not taken care of, but I also knew she was in the care of her biological family ... [so there was] not much I could do."
Lindsay and Jason made inquiries with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services about the girl's situation, but outside of asking about Jessie, they felt helpless to do anything to assist her.
One day, Lindsay went to work and heard from the teachers that Jessie and her brother had moved out of state to live with relatives. And just like that, Jessie and her brother were gone. Lindsay was devastated. "I was so sure in my heart she was the one God wanted us to go after, but in hindsight, she was the catalyst for something else for us," she said.
In the summer of 2010, the couple made friends with a woman named Heather Elyse through their local church, Lifechurch.tv. At the time, Elyse had adopted seven children through DHS as a single woman, starting at age 20. (Since then, Elyse has adopted several more children, including some from Haiti where she works as a missionary.)
"She began telling us statistics about abuse and neglect in Oklahoma, and about the foster-to-adopt system in general. That's when we really got serious about it, and started the paperwork process," Lindsay said of her discussions with Elyse.
The couple thought that the process of getting approved to adopt would only take a few months. They thought they would have a child by Christmas 2010.
In reality, after a series of delays, their process took closer to a year and a half. When dealing with DHS, "You have to really want to do it," Lindsay said.
But in October 2011, things started to look up when the couple received a letter stating that they had been matched. When Lindsay saw the picture of one of the cases they were matched to, an adorable sibling set of three, she knew almost immediately that they were meant to be her and Jason's kids. "Oh my gosh, I love them!" she remembered thinking. She thought it probably felt very much like a mother who gives birth and meets her child face-to-face for the first time in the delivery room -- even though they were strangers at the time.
The couple met the kids in January. The connection was instant and after several weeks of visits, the children moved to their new home in March. They had found their forever family.
Many changes have occurred since the kids came home. Each child came with his or her own set of obstacles. They also had to adjust to living with each other because at times they had been in separate foster placements.
An important decision the couple made was to home-school. "We chose to home-school because we really felt there was a level of bonding that our family needed that wouldn't be achieved had they been in public school. We are still getting to know them, and they us, and it's been the best decision we've made," Lindsay said. Besides academically, Lindsay believes that home-schooling has helped their children both intellectually and emotionally.
Through consistency, love, and faith, each child is showing remarkable growth. "They are becoming respectful of our family model," said Lindsay. Now 6, Sister is learning to express her feelings and how to bond. Bud, now 4 years old, was diagnosed as autistic. Rarely speaking above a whisper before, he now loves to laugh, learn, and be around others. And Mini, their active 3-year-old son, is learning all about healthy boundaries.
After their adoption is finalized, hopefully by Thanksgiving, Lindsay and Jason plan to adopt more children. "We believe that as long as God is blessing us with the resources -- and energy -- to do this, we can't stop! The kids are a part of that decision, and they are excited and can't wait!" she said.
When asked if they planned to have biological children too, Lindsay said, "If [pregnancy] is God's will for us, it will happen too. But adoption is something we have clearly heard him call us to, and do not feel it would be obedient of us to say, 'We need to have our own first.'"
"I think that since there are so many children in state custody that it would be selfish not to adopt," Jason added.
Lindsay agreed. "Many will only consider adoption as a last resort to make a family when fertility has failed," she said. "[T]hese days, you can make very specific choices based on the birth families' background [in private adoptions] ... With DHS, you can't do that. Sure, there are some details in the file, but there are so many unknowns."
"Those are the hurting kids ... the ones who eventually lose hope when they move past that baby age ... the older, more damaged, and sibling groups. Adopting through DHS gives these kids a family and history and a place to belong when they might never have one otherwise," Lindsay said.
And whatever happened to Jessie?
"I do think about her all the time, and wonder where she is now and how she is doing," Lindsay said. "She is in third grade now. I hope she is loved."
But for now, three more Oklahoma children have found love, safety, and a forever family.
*All children's names used are nicknames to protect their privacy.

This has gone on long enough and the risk is just too high to continue giving things to people. It's just not worth the risk anymore. Especially not in "this" economy.
The only thing we can do at this point is to just stop.
Stop giving Christmas gifts. Stop giving birthday gifts. Stop helping your kids with their first car. And certainly stop helping them pay for college!! Just stop it!!
Stop giving your teenagers lunch money. Stop giving people directions. Stop giving things to people! I can't stress it enough!!
Because the risk is very high and chances are that those Christmas or birthday gifts may be sold, returned or even RE-GIFTED!!!
There's a good chance that after you buy your kid a car, they're going to break the speed limit with that gift! They could even get a ticket! And if we're really honest, they're probably gonna have sex in it!!! OMG!!!
And college? Don't you know what happens there? I'm not going to help somebody pay for college if they're gonna go to drinking parties and maybe even be exposed to marijuana or something like that! What if they tried it! I'm not contributing to that!
And that lunch money you're giving your kids? Probably buying baseball cards or maybe even a buddy's dad's old Playboy magazine that buddy stole!! I'll have no part of that. They can find a way to get food on their own!!
And for the sake of all that is good and holy, what about those HOMELESS people?!?!?!
What if God decided to never give me another blessing that He knew I would turn around and use for something I shouldn't?? Or maybe He just suspected that I MIGHT use it for something I shouldn't?
But He gives to me still. Abundantly. Knowing that with most of the blessings He has given me in my life I will turn around and break His heart with in some way or another. I'm glad He never stops giving. Never.
Who are we to determine the condition of someone's heart when giving? How are we even justified in calling it a gift if we attach strings and conditions?
Jesus says to "give to anyone who asks."
I don't think He was joking.
And I don't think He gave us a right to give based on our perception (or prediction) of one's heart and/or actions.
"Give to anyone who asks." – Jesus in Luke 6:30

The New Lost City Ramblers
The New Lost City Ramblers
During the folk boom of the late '50s and early '60s, the New Lost City Ramblers introduced audiences to the authentic string band sound of the 1920s and '30s, in the process educating a generation that had never heard this uniquely American sound of old-time music. While maintaining music with a social conscience, they added guts and reality to the folk movement, performing with humor and obvious reverence for the music. In 1958, Mike Seeger, John Cohen, and Tom Paley modeled their band after groups like the Skillet Lickers, the Fruit Jar Drinkers, and the Aristocratic Pigs, choosing a name in keeping with the past. When Tracy Schwarz replaced Paley in 1962, the NLCR added solo songs from the Appalachian folk repertoire, religious and secular, educating a large segment of the American population about traditional music. Folkways recorded the NLCR on five albums in the early '60s, making the Ramblers famous and leading to TV appearances, successful tours, and appearances at the Newport Folk Festival. A songbook with 125 of their songs came out in 1964 and sold well.

The Million Mile Mission
A small band of believers urges NASA to take its next step—onto an asteroid.
- By Michael Klesius
- Air & Space magazine, July 2008
Paul DiMare
It was another brilliantly sunny day for NASA astronaut Tom Jones. In orbit on his fourth space shuttle mission in February 2001, Jones was outside the International Space Station, installing a new laboratory module. He remembers the moment with great clarity: Gerhard Thiele, another astronaut, called from the ground to relay the news that the robotic NEAR Shoemaker probe had just made the first-ever landing on an asteroid, 433 Eros.
"There I was, turning bolts on the ISS," says Jones. "I was thinking: What a cool job this is. But how much cooler would it be if I were doing this on an asteroid!"
The idea that astronauts might visit an asteroid and explore it up close had long intrigued him. Today, Jones is more convinced than ever that it would be a grand and worthwhile journey. "The asteroids," he says, "are begging for a visit."
By "the asteroids" he doesn't mean one of the rocks circling out in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter, but something a lot closer to home: An Earth-crosser, or NEO (near-Earth object). A rogue.
Jones is part of an unofficial group of NASA actives and alums who have been studying, mostly on their own time, the particulars—engineering requirements, mission trajectories, scientific payoffs, and costs—of a human trip to an asteroid. Like the Mars Underground, a larger group of enthusiasts who for the past 20-plus years have been pushing for a voyage to Mars, the asteroid agitators are trying to build support for a mission. The two groups are far from mutually exclusive: Plenty of Mars Undergrounders share the desire to see Constellation, NASA's human exploration program, send astronauts rock-hopping first.
The operational lessons learned from such an expedition would be crucial. "There's no way a Mars program could take shape without a crewed mission to an asteroid," says Jones. Aerospace engineer Robert Zubrin, who, as head of the international advocacy group the Mars Society, is one of the leading proponents of an expedition to the Red Planet, likes the logic of a shakedown flight to an asteroid. "I think it's a valuable idea. It would help validate the Constellation hardware within a meaningful time frame," he says. "Basically, it takes us farther out into space, and that's good. Sort of like Columbus getting out there and saying, 'There aren't dragons out here after all.' "
Constellation's primary destinations are the moon and Mars, but the asteroid hopefuls are lobbying to insert a third stop in the itinerary. For the record, NASA has no plans to send astronauts to a near-Earth object, and agency officials describe it as highly improbable given current budgets.
The Asteroid Underground is unfazed. According to Jones, "When you talk to an audience of taxpayers, they see the stepping stones: moon, asteroid, Mars."

Very interesting article. I do like the idea of visiting an asteroid before going to Mars. The article gives several good reason to justify this mission. However, I am not in favor of skipping the moon as suggested by some. The main reason to spend time on the moon is to gain experience with our equipment plus to answer questions related to humans as a space fairing race. The moon is akin to a campout in the backyard compared to a true expeditionary mission to Mars. If there is a health issue with an astronaut on the moon, then returning to Earth for care is a possibility. You can't abort a Martian stay - you can return only as scheduled before leaving Earth. So, before committing humans to a long expeditionary mission to Mars, we need to know more about how reduced gravity affects people. Will lunar gravity stave off bone density loss? Will it be enough to maintain cardiovascular function adequately or do we need to plan on a rigorous exercise program? Our very short trips to the moon don't answer these questions. Nor does spending time in microgravity aboard the space station answer these questions. Ditto for trips to asteroids. We are unable to recreate reduced gravity conditions except for very short periods (~25 secs) aboard airplanes flying reduced G parabolas. We need the practical experience of staying on the moon in order to answer questions related to how human physiology responds to long duration stays in reduced gravity. To skip the moon would put our astronauts lives at much greater risk due to the unknown physiologic consequences.

I like the idea of an asteroid (or, more properly, a planetesimal) mission myself. One thing though, I don't believe the astronauts would be THAT keen on a 4 month mission inside a relatively tiny can like the 'Constellation'.
I seems to me that a small inflatable 'Hab' would fit the bill . Not much mass to push and a place for crew-quarters, a proper zero-gee washroom and a science lab.
Something to look at, I suppose.

I support an expanded program of space research including both manned and un-manned programs to the Moon, asteroids, Mars, and the moons of Jupiter too, as well as construction of space habitats for human expansion, but I don't think that thinking of the Moon and the asteroids as stepping stones to Mars is a very usefull nor faithfull analogy. If the goal is to colonize a relatively supportive planet like Mars is,then learning how to accomplish that by going to the Moon first is as if we were attempting to build a boat that would get us to Hawaii from San Francisco where we knew we could get food and water and set up a colony by first builing boats designed to land on the Farallon Islands out in the crashing turbulent surf that prevails out beyond the Golden Gate's famed potato patch, without suitable harbors or beaches and once you're there without water and food you're left without options and plenty of struggle that gets you very little. In other words, learning how to get to Mars is actually better for preparation for further space exploration than the Moon. Though, a study of the real history of the space program shows unequivicably the connection with military strategy and nobody can deny that the Moon from a military standpoint is the essential high-ground and why Bush and his bush-league advisors are interested in anything that shuttles a lot of money through the wonderful efficiency (with its revolving doorways made of jewel encrusted platinum) of the Congressional Military Industrial Complex, which ultimately would create very specialized craft unsuitable for the trip to Mars anyway, rather than create a super X prize for private industry that shows that it can be done using innovative approaches.
People think that the Moon is easier to get to and it's easier to just hustle the taxpayer than educate a populace regarding things like gravity wells and payloads and payoffs.

I'm one of those Mars people who thinks that asteroids make a great intermediate step due to may of the reasons spelled out in this article. While I realize I'm late in reading this, I had to correct an error. On page 4, where the author describes "three years of weightlessness" for a Mars mission, they are completely incorrect. A Mars mission spends about 7 months sending people to the planet, 1.5 years on Mars' surface with gravity, then 7 months coming back. The crew doesn't even need to travel in zero gravity if they use a tether and their expended departure stage to generate artificial gravity.
Posted by Tom Hill on August 13,2009 | 08:32 AM
When NASA and the Air Force have 3 to 5 different systems to divert an earth impacting asteroid, then they can do all the other stuff. If a big rock is comin towards us, then everybody who pays no attention to space issues now, will ask "why all these scientists and politicians wasted billions and years without defending the planet?" Certainly political egg in the face for another set of supposed experts like bankers and economists. Unfortunately the earthly cataclysm will be worse than a financial meltdown.
One of the asteroid defense practice missions could could go to Mars where there is atmospheric braking that the moon does not have, which saves fuel compared to the Moon. And yes a one way mission is the way to go, terminally ill or fiesty old codgers with at least a chance of indefinite algea to eat and building a habitat for the next crew. If there's no colony on Mars and Earth gets whacked by an asteroid, then we have thrown away all hominids for a few more pork barrel make work projects.
Posted by Francis X Gentile on January 21,2010 | 03:39 AM
Agree with Francis. More importantly why can we not take a resource rich rock and turn it into a colonizing ship to go further than Mars?
Posted by Josh Evans on July 6,2010 | 05:18 PM
I like the idea of going to and asteriod and then using that base to jump to another asteriod. Thus using these objects as our space vehicle. Certainly would use less propul;sion to get around in space. They would become way stations for multiple missions. Zig-Zag your way to the stars.

When Shelagh Delaney began working on A Taste of Honey, she intended the material to be a novel; but instead, in what has become a very famous story, Delaney became disgusted at the lack of substance found in plays currently being produced for the stage and decided to rework her fledgling novel into a play. It took her two weeks. A Taste of Honey opened at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East in London on May 27, 1958. On February 10, 1959, Delaney's play moved to Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End, and on October 4, 1960, the play opened on Broadway at New York City's Lyceum Theatre. Delaney's play opened to mixed reviews. In many cases, her characters were praised for their honest, realistic voices. The play was also singled out for its accurate depictions of working class lives.
Yet there was also concern that too much praise for the play's nineteen-year-old author would make it difficult for her to ever create another hit play, the theory being that early success might prove so intimidating that she could never live up to her first accomplishment. In a sense, this is what happened, since Delaney never wrote another play that achieved the success of A Taste of Honey. However, this first play did earn several awards, including the Charles Henry Foyle New Play award in 1958 and the New York Drama Critics Award in 1961. The film version won the British Academy Award for best picture in 1961 and a best supporting actress award for Dora Bryan. The film also won two additional awards at the Cannes Film Festival in 1962 for best actor (Murray Melvin) and best actress (Rita Tushingham). Much of the credit for the play's success is attributed to Joan Littlewood, whose experimental Theatre Workshop first received and produced the play.

its me again i installed the latest nightly and the home-button works, but i have the following "problems": I can create a shortcut to an "genre", but the scraper don't scrapes the Anime with a genre "Anime" or any other unique "genre". That means the genre is "useless" to me Yeah, i can use a sql data editor to edit all animes to one genre, but on every "data refresh" i must repeat this over and over again, not a good solution :/ All my Animes are stored in one dir, when i set a favorite on the dir itself and then the custom home item to the favorite - i see a lot of stapled "no cover" pictures, and have no acess on any media (a bug?). Any Ideas? Thanks!

This exquisite diamond eternity ring features diamonds hand-set in a unique and low-profile platinum setting.
We didn't have the best time finding value vs style at the local shoppes and time to wedding date was approaching fast! After multiple positive referrals from other websites, we looked at Blue Nile (BN). Spending a lot of $ over the internet for jewelry is not something I take lightly but BN delivered, overnight -the night before our wedding. The had the style, price and value that she and I desire. Oh, btw, can you say "no tax" ?
Anonymous, Jacksonville, FL – November 2013
excellent quality and appearance
Raymond, La Porte, IN – October 2013
Originally we purchased two of the seven stone floating diamond rings. They look beautiful with my cushion cut floating diamond engagement ring. However I kept going back to the web site and looking at the floating diamond eternity ring. We decided to purchase this ring during the last sale and I was over the moon when I placed it on my finger with my engagement ring. Together, they are absolutely stunning!!!!!!
Georganna H., Lakewood Ranch, FL – February 2013
Blue Nile realizes that you may not know the ring size for a given finger, and we want to help. We provide a printable ring sizer that can help determine your ring size. Prior to printing, ensure that page scaling is set to "none" on your print dialog box.

Law enforcement union defends Judge Layne Walker
In a joint statement released by CLEAT (Combined Law Enforcement Association of Texas) members in Southeast Texas including the Jefferson County Sheriff's Association, the Port Arthur Police Officers Association the Beaumont Police Officers Association, the Nederland Police Officers Association and the Jefferson County Constables Association, the union certified support of District Judge Layne Walker, who was the target of a rally held in the Jefferson County Courthouse by Houston New Black Panther Party leader Quanell X aka Ralph Evans.
Evans accused Walker of being a racist, handing out exceptionally cruel and unjust sentences to African Americans. Walker has denied those claims. (Read more of Walker's reply to allegations of bigotry in the Aug. 25 edition of The Examiner.)
"In light of recent accusations being made by Quanell X and a few other individuals in reference to racism in the Jefferson County judicial system and specifically District Judge Lane Walker's sentences in criminal cases; CLEAT represented police departments, the sheriff's department and constables offices in Jefferson County would like to make this statement in support for the entire Jefferson County judicial system and Judge Lane Walker," the statement reads.
"As law enforcement officers who work the streets of our community, we see the violence and the victims affected by violent criminals every day. When an individual chooses to commit a violent crime, they must also know if caught there are consequences for their actions. When individuals choose to repeatedly commit violent crimes and victimize citizens or visitors of our county, they should know that the law enforcement and judicial system is ready to protect the people that we serve and protect in our community. It is unfortunate that because certain individuals have to face the consequences for their criminal acts that race has to be made an issue. When the real issue is protecting and serving the citizens of our county against violent crime."
Layne Walker
I went to Forest Park High School with Layne Walker.
He was a jock and a huge prick.
I believe he's corrupt as hell.
Impeach him now.
Remove Layne Walker
Layne Walker needs to be removed from office. He handed down a harsher sentence today. He mentioned during the case how he was using this man as an example of his "fair" policy. Judge Walker stated during the case that all facts & statements about the character of the defendant were irrelevant. He also allowed the prosecution to make deliberate false statements on record during the final proceedings regarding a previous incident with the defendant. The prosecution made statements about how the defendant was charged previously with public intoxication & should have received a DWI for the previous incident. They deliberately misrepresented the incident indicating that the defendant was operating the vehicle. The defendant was not driving the vehicle & was a passenger in the vehicle during the incident in question.
Judge Walker demonstrated during the case during the defense attorney's closing statement that he was giving any consideration to it's closing statement. He was not looking at the defense attorney or the defendant during their final presentation.
No Real Justice in Jefferson County
There's no real justice in Jefferson County as long as they allow judges such as Walk and Stevens to stay on the bench. They are BOTH corrupt, Stevens is just not as blatant with his underhandedness! The judges and prosecutors alike, need to be held accountable. Both judges, walker & Stevens, have allowed numerous wrongs, but especially prosecutors that misrepresent circumstances and evidence to juries. That is blatant prosecutirial misconduct, but the judges allow it! A trial is supposed to be fair and just, but there is nothing fair & just about any trial that is allowed to be tried in jefferson county criminal court with corrupt judges and prosecutors running the show.

Romanian Lamb Haggis is one of the most popular dishes cooked around Easter. It's made of minced lamb innards (heart, liver, lungs, kidneys), green onions, eggs, fresh dill and parsley. All these wrapped in a caul (or pasta sheet) and roasted like a meatloaf. We serve it as an appetizer with green onions, tomatoes or you can try it with my mom's easy and delicious salad (romaine lettuce, red radishes, green onions with an oil and vinegar dressing).

New Acrylic Work
, 10-07-2012 at 06:48 PM (415 Views)
Thought that I would share the latest from the rebuild. I'm almost done with the acrylic work, and let me tell you, it's been fun to make various components now that I have the skills.
I needed to mount my lighting fixture to the canopy, and the stands that came with the LED fixture were not suited to my tank. There was also no way to suspend the fixture. I wanted to devise a way to mount the fixture to the canopy, yet not have it attached to the lid. I don't want the fixture shining in my eyes when i open the lid to feed the fish. It also needed to be easily removable if necessary. I made a surround that will attach to the underside of the rear and front of the of the canopy but will still allow the lid to open. The LED fixture sits in the surround. I drilled a hole for the cord. Next post I'll have it mounted.
I also need a shelf for the power supply. I wanted to insure that there was no way for the power supply to fall into the sump. I have limited space inside the stand, but one are that still has some room is the underside of the stand. I devised a hanging shelf that will attach to the bracing just beneath the aquarium.
Lastly, I made an addition to the sump. When I made the original, I hadn't yet decided on how much I would extend the base of the stand. When the woodwork was done, I found that I had an additional 3.25 inches of space. I made an additional tank that will extend the return section of the sump. This should add about three gallons of water. Not much for sure, but I want to maximize the total water in the system wherever possible. Attaching it to the main sump will be done with a bulkhead. I'll need to make sure that I don't let the water get stagnant, but that should be easily accomplished. I also made a lid for this small reservoir to help reduce evaporation.

AMARILLO, TEXAS -- House Appropriations Committee Democrats have released a report that indicates Pantex will be affected by potential across the board spending cuts that will take place March 1st unless agreement occurs between Congress and the Administration.
They said Pantex will furlough up to 2500 employees for three weeks.
However, Congressman Henry Cuellar of Texas, a Democrat, said the cuts are not certain but are potential if $85 Billion is slashed from fiscal year 2013.
The sequestration occurs as a remnant of last year's fiscal cliff negotiations.
Area Congressman Mac Thornberry said if the cuts do come about, Defense will take a big hit and Pantex could be part of that.

Scott, welcome to this place. You don't have to be an expert on the Civil War, but you can talk with those in here who are, and the many of us who aren't. I got interested in August 2005. I can't believe you're putting a framed picture of a relative up for auction! Gosh, many people would love to have a picture of one of their Civil War relatives. Elijah died in 1928, so he was probably in his early 80s. Say he was born in 1844, age 20 in 1864, so age 84 in 1928. His service with Grant and Sherman would have been in 1862-63, and maybe with Sherman all the way to the end. You're right, Buckner was a Confederate general. He surrendered Fort Donelson to Grant on 10 Feb 1862. Maybe Elijah was there too, but Sherman wasn't. Grant and Sherman took Shiloh on 6-7 April 1862, so Elijah was probably there as well. Then there was Chattanooga... There sure were a lot of battles in Tennessee. Only VA had more battles, for obvious reasons. Patty |

Patty I am one of those people that would love to have a picture of my great grandfather who was with the 19th Michigan at Tompkin's Station . He along with many of the 19th were captured and taken off to a prison in Viriginia , He was paroled four months later with a lung diease that got him mustered out and sent home to Michigan. He lived another 30 years but my grandfather never passed down any pictures of his family to my father. My grandfather left home to go west to Idaho in the 80's and 90's . He didn't marry til late in his life. My father too didn't settle down til he was older. No pictures . I was so excited when I got my great grandfather Aaron Sweet's enlistment papers. I finally know what he looked like , at least that he was 5 foot 10 light brown hair , sandy complextion and blue eyes. I try to imagine him looking like a youger verision of the pictures I have of my grandfather. I can't imagine selling my great grandfather's picture . I have one picture of my dad's other grandfather. He worked in the quartermaster's department in charge of transportation in Clarksville Tennessee. My brother and I each have a copy of that picture. When my brother had a beard it was almost the same face looking at us. He is dressed in his Knights Templer uniform and very stilff and formal. Can you imagine how excited I was to learn he was a railroad engine in Tennessee right before the Cvil War? That made him a real person. Yep my grandmother was older too when she married and had my father. I guess different things are important to different people . By the way I love reading your posts Susan |

Susan, thanks for your kind words. How terrific to have pictures of some of your ancestors. To think that your bearded brother could pass for your dad's grandfather. How cool. My brother could pass for Baldy Ewell, at least from the eyebrows up. I have no pictures of any of Mom's family. Her mother was an orphan, raised by a kindly foster father. No family history, documents, or photos came down to us. No pictures from Dad's side, either. My husband got lots of old family photos, which I put in albums for his kids. Small-town Illinois people, but no Civil War veterans, as far as I can tell. Patty |

Adobe's security chief has applauded Apple for preventing users from running outdated versions of Flash Player.
Apple prevented users from running superceded versions of Flash Player (10.1.102.64 and earlier) in its latest Safari update by moving files to a new directory.
Users were then directed to the Adobe site to update their software.
Brad Arkin said he welcomed the "initiative by Apple to encourage Mac users to stay up-to-date".
"The single most important thing we can do to protect ourselves from the bad guys is to stay up-to-date.
"A thank you to the security team at Apple for working with us to help protect our mutual customers."
The update followed a similar enforcement on users preventing them from running outdated versions of Java.
It also blocked automatic execution of Java on OS X last month to prevent infection by the Flashback malware.
Adobe will "very soon" introduce a Mac version its Flash Player background updater, available to Windows and Linux users since March.

In December 2011, the FEMA Disaster Assistance Recoupment Fairness Act of 2011 was enacted, giving FEMA the legal authority to waive certain debts for disaster survivors who received improper payments as a result of disasters that occurred between August 28, 2005 through December 31, 2010. FEMA has put in place a process to implement this new law, to offer a fair resolution to survivors who received improper payments through no fault of their own and who may be unable to repay their debt due to their financial circumstances. There are steps survivors will need to take before we can decide if your debt can be waived.
Who is eligible for a waiver?
By law, the following requirements must be met to be eligible for a full waiver:
- An improper payment was received from disasters declared between August 28, 2005 and December 31, 2010;
- The improper payment did not involve fraud, presentation of false claim, or misrepresentation;
- The improper payment was the result of an error on the part of FEMA;
- The improper payment was not a result of fault on the part of the survivor;
- Collection of the debt would be "against equity and good conscience" which means that it would be unfair under the circumstances of your case to collect the debt ; and
- The disaster survivor's household adjusted gross income for the last taxable year is less than $90,000. A household with an income of more than $90,000 whose case meets the other qualifying criteria could be eligible for a partial waiver.
What do you need to do?
You will have 60 days to respond to the Waiver Notice you receive in the mail and send FEMA a letter requesting a waiver. Your letter should explain why it would be unfair for FEMA to collect the debt. If you have signed up for E-Correspondence, you will receive an email stating that you have new correspondence in the system. You will then have to log into the system to see the Notice of Waiver. Your typed or written request should provide information that explains one or more of the following:
- Collecting the debt would cause you serious financial hardship: Your request should tell FEMA about your financial situation and why you cannot afford to repay the money. Your letter should also provide details about any other circumstances that create a hardship for you.
- You have spent the money you received from FEMA for disaster-related needs and you have no ability to reclaim and return the funds to FEMA: Your request should tell FEMA how you spent the money and why you believe it was disaster-related.

It is becoming more and more important to get your market involved from day 1 of development (as opposed to day 1 of launch).
How do you engage customers throughout the product development cycle, and keep them engaged?
As we are entering beta, I feel like we've missed out a bit on the feedback we could have had already, had we engaged the market prior. So really I'm looking for methods of engagement. Is a blog or newsletter the best form of engagement? How about social media?
I don't want to have too many vehicles of engagement, just one - maybe two. So narrowing down to the best one or two is my goal. I'm looking to draw on the expertise of the community.

Africana Studies examines the diverse experiences of African people worldwide, focusing especially but not exclusively on African, African American and Caribbean affairs and culture. Using the tools of the social sciences and humanities, we investigate the structures, organizations, problems and perspectives of blacks in Africa and the African Diaspora. Our mission is to advance the study and understanding of the historical as well as the contemporary connections among Africana communities.As a discipline, Africana Studies acquaints students with myriad ways of thinking (historical, sociological, anthropological, geographical, political, psychoanalytic and literary), researching (ethnographic, quantitative, and qualitative methods), and writing about Africana people. Issues of particular interest to Africana Studies scholars include: African agency, Diasporic identities, colonialism, the Atlantic slave trade and New World slavery, decolonization, independence, nationalism, post-colonialism and migration).

For course descriptions and requirements for the major, refer to the Academic Bulletin: Africana Studies.
First YearAFST 100AFST 200
Sophomore YearThree courses to fulfill the Africa/African Diaspora requirement Africana Studies Elective
Junior YearOne course to fulfill Africa/Africana Diaspora requirementTwo Africana Studies courses at the 300-levelExperiential Learning
Senior YearAfricana StudiesAFST 400
Senior Thesis
During the spring of their senior year, Africana Studies Studies majors are required to complete a thesis or project that is based on an original research topic that resonates with their concentration in African or Diasporan studies. The thesis/project must clearly demonstrate that the student understands the concept of African agency, can apply theories and methods of the discipline, and articulate the historical trajectory of the particular topic being examined.
Honors in Africana Studies
The awarding of honors in Africana Studies is based on the student's grade point average within the major and the completion of a thesis that has been vetted by a committee of Africana Studies faculty. An honors thesis should be approximately fifty (50) pages in length and should demonstrate advanced research and writing skills; extensive use of primary and secondary sources; and effective utilization of key theories and methods in Africana Studies. Honors candidates will present their work in a public forum as part of Africana Studies 400. The department faculty will read the final thesis and engage each candidate in an oral defense before rendering a decision on honors.
Students who are eligible to pursue honors in Africana Studies will be notified in the spring semester of their junior year. To be eligible for consideration for honors, an Africana Studies major must have a minimum 3.5 grade point average in the major by the end of the fall semester of junior year and must maintain this GPA through the spring semester. The student must not have any breach of the College's academic code of conduct. Candidates for honors will begin research and writing the prospectus for their theses in the fall of the senior year, under the direction of a departmental advisor in their area of interest. Honors candidates should therefore register for AFST 500: Independent Study in Africana Studies in the fall to fulfill this requirement.
For more information about the honors process, students consult with the department chair or with their major advisor.
Independent Study and Independent Research
The Africana Studies Department encourages advanced students in the major to undertake independent research and independent study projects. The student, in consultation with the supervising professor, will submit a topic proposal and program of work the semester before the study is undertaken.
Independent study allows a student to pursue an academic interest outside the listed course offerings. The study may include library research and reading and may culminate in several short papers, a single paper, or any other project acceptable to the supervising faculty member and the student.
Independent research, like independent study, allows a student to pursue an academic interest outside the listed course offerings, but it involves primary research which is largely self-initiated and self-directed. Students are encouraged to present the results of independent research at a professional conference, regional meeting, or other public forum.
Students may choose to pursue an internship that will meet the experiential learning requirement. To satisfy the academic requisite, students will apply specific aspects of the histories and theories of Africana Studies to the work experience. The internship must be approved and will be supervised by the Department Coordinator. Upon completion of the internship, the student will submit a final report.
In order to gain a deeper understanding of African and African diasporic communities, students are encouraged to study abroad. Typically, students have studied in Cameroon or Tanzania. For a full list of study abroad options, students should contact the Center for Global Study and Engagement.
The Experiential Learning component of the Africana Studies major complements classroom instruction by requiring students to engage directly with people of African descent through some form of cultural immersion in Africa or in the Diaspora. By doing so, students will come to understand and evaluate issues relevant to these communities more substantively. Examples of experiential learning opportunities that may be approved by the Department include: Study Abroad, Service Learning Courses, Mosaic Programs, Internships, Independent Research.

Making fire starters
Posted 22 May 2006 - 10:05 AM
How to Make Fire Starters
Though the foundation of a fire ' and the wood used ' is very important, so is your choice of fire starter. And instead of buying the waxy blocks sold in stores, you can make your own. A fire starter assures that you can get a fire going quickly in any type of conditions.
1. Use a cotton ball covered in petroleum jelly to make a great fire starter. Simply roll each cotton ball in the jelly until completely covered, then put it in a plastic film canister. Each canister will hold about 30 balls. To start a fire, put two or three cotton balls under your dry kindling and light.
2. Make another excellent fire starter by cutting an old, worn web belt or hiking compression strap into 8 cm strips. Soak them in wax and let dry. Next time you want to start a fire quickly, use one.
3. Make fire starters by filling paper condiment cups with sawdust and pouring paraffin into the cup.
4. Use a ball of dryer lint soaked with candle wax to make a very good fire starter.
5. Go back to basics by using flint and steel. Flint is a stone found in much of the world. If it is struck vigorously with a piece of steel, hot sparks fly off which will ignite dry tinder. The flint and steel method is the most reliable of the direct spark methods.
6. To make a decorative fire starter, use the following steps:
7. Place wax in double boiler and heat until melted. The double boiler should be used only for candlemaking / fire starter making.
8. Put paper cupcake cups into cupcake pan.
9. Let wax cool to 140 degree Fahrenheit. Pour to within 3/8 of the top of cupcake paper.
10. Place a wick into each cup and allow to finish cooling.
11. Press a pine cone into each cup once the wax is firm to the touch.
12. Bond the top of each cup to the pine cone by adding a bit of hot wax. The wicks should be about ½ inch long.

Take an old tea towel or hand towel, cut it into squares to fit your 'cooking tin'. Fill the tin until almost bursting then pierce a small hole on the top (maybe from a 1" nail). Slow cook the tin until the fumes stop coming out of the hole at the top. (this can be noxious, so I cook ours on the BBQ in summer months) Take it off the heat and leave to cool (or throw it into a bucket of water). Release the lid carefully in case of ignition. You should have lovely cooked squares of charcloth that will ignite even when damp (I've seen it burn on wet cloth)
Repeat as necessary and Store until needed

I also pack dryer lint in toliet paper rolls and paper towel rolls if I want bigger ones, packing the lint as tightly as I can, then dip them in melted wax, dry and repeat 4 or 5 times. They work great.
This year I'm going to try packing some of that lint into the pine cones and dipping in wax to see how they do.

I can't tell you what spurned my creation, but my DH thinks it's fabulous.
I cut up an egg carton into pieces.
Save my dryer lint and used dryer sheets.
Wrap a handful or so of lint into a sheet and twist it closed or tie it with some old, ratty thread and place in the egg sections of the torn carton. Place on tin foil.
I heat nibs of candles, remnants of wax, etc, and pour over the stuffed egg cartons. I let this dry and add more if I need to.
These work REALLY WELL! They aren't all that bulky and the wax can seep down into the cracks of wood to help it burn.
P.S. Wax releases very easy from tin foil and protects your counter or cookie sheets.

All these are great! Can also cut up small strips of bicycle inner tubes, store them in an metal mint box, and light with a bic lighter. Works for us
Added note...this is totally waterproof!

I've taught all sorts of primitive fire starting procedures for Boy Scouts & Wilderness Survival. I carry a couple of BIC Lighters and candles. Corn Chips (And cashews) were new to me, but they burn the same as a candle.
In the old days of pencil sharpeners and pencils actually made from wood, I'd save that as kindling, but If my life depends on it, I Pop a road flare. Save the bow drill for amazing the peasants.

Lunch.com brings yet another reviews site to the table
There aren't many new companies launching at this year's Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, which runs Tuesday through Friday. One of the few that are is Lunch.com, which strives to get a little more juice out of user-generated publishing.
Here's the premise of Lunch: You can review anything you want, from a TV show to a restaurant to a food product to a household appliance. I guess it aims to be, sort of, a Wikipedia for opinions.

Europa Nostra 2003 for the Collection of Gothic architectural drawings on paper and parchement
The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna houses in its prints and drawings department the unique collection of 428 Gothic architectural drawings out of worldwide not more than 500 drawings of this genre.
Diploma© The Graphic Collection
A major restoration of the drawings according to modern standards developed exclusively for the present task was undertaken by Mag. Verena Flamm, who had previously written her master's thesis on the restoration of Gothic parchment drawings and who is already through the mere quantity of drawings of this kind she has handled the acknowledged expert in the field. Parallel to the restoration of the entire drawings of the collection, a new scholarly catalogue is being prepared by Prof. H. J. Böker from McGill University in Montreal which was published as a bilingual edition by the Anton-Pustet-Verlag in Salzburg.
In order to improve access to the drawings, a project was undertaken under the guidance of the collection's director, Dr Monika Knofler, in which all of them were to be scanned digitally in archive quality so that they could be enlarged to the highest degree possible and every detail thus made visible. This means that even exhibitions of facsimiles of the drawings can be held in smaller museums or institutions that cannot afford the security and climatic conditions mandatory for exhibiting the originals.
Memory of the World Register 2005
Memory of the World Register 2005On May 21, 2005 the Collection of Gothic architectural drawings on paper and parchement was accepted in the Memory of World Register. UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme, and Register, were established to preserve and raise awareness of documentary heritage, the memory of the world, which reflects the diversity of languages, peoples and cultures. The programme was born of the realization that this memory is fragile and that important documentary material is lost every day. The International Advisory Committee is made up of international experts appointed by the Director-General in their personal capacity, and meets every two years to study nominations by UNESCO Member States.

University welcomes back students to Central Coast for 2012
After a three-month break, the University of Newcastle came alive today with thousands of students eager to return to their studies and more than 1,200 attending the Ourimbah campus for the first time.
Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Services), Mr Trevor Gerdsen, said the first week of semester was an exciting time for the university community.
"Our students breathe life into the campus and create energy," he said.
"For our new students, this is a fresh chapter in their lives. It is a time of anticipation and excitement as they expand their horizons, broaden their thinking and enjoy new friendships with other students from more than 60 countries."
Mr Gerdsen encouraged all students to take advantage of the extensive services available to help them during their time at university.
"We can help students personally with services including counselling and career advice, and we can help them academically with writing skills and learning development.
"At this busy time of year we are also helping our students familiarise themselves with ways to travel to and from the campus, and encouraging them to allow plenty of time to reach the university before their classes start."
The university's online transport information tool, On the Move, provides the latest information on buses and trains, cycle and walking paths, facilities for bike riders, parking cars on campus and the shuttle service, which transports students and staff from car parks to their destination on campus.
"We also have a carpooling system that matches students and staff with other travellers interested in saving time, money and reducing their carbon footprint, by sharing a ride to campus," Mr Gerdsen said.
Following its success in 2011, the university is again providing more than 270 additional parking spaces at the Tall Timbers Pony Club at Ourimbah on the Old Pacific Highway for the first six weeks of semester.
For more information: Mr Trevor Gerdsen, Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Services), on 02 4921 7363.
