| 4.6°C Belfast
Lauren Goodger has insisted she doesn't feel jealous of her ex-fiance Mark Wright and his new love Michelle Keegan.
Former The Only Way Is Essex stars Lauren and Mark had been engaged, but split in 2011 after a stormy 10-year relationship and in 2012 he started dating Coronation Street star Michelle, getting engaged to her last September.
Lauren had tweeted: " God I bet it's sooo boring #yourlife #lookssoboring #nothingisperfect."
But she wrote in her New! magazine column that she was referring to tweets about a story that she had tried to avoid stepping into a puddle.
She said: "A lot of people thought it was a response to a recent interview my ex, Mark, did with a mag. Well, it wasn't at all. I was just so fed up with people tweeting me about the puddle story
"I heard Mark's fiancee Michelle tweeted a quote after I'd posted my tweet, saying, 'People only rain on your parade because they're jealous of your sun and tired of their shade.' I hope it wasn't aimed at me because I'm certainly not jealous.
"I've never met Michelle, but I'm sure she's lovely, and she's obviously completely gorgeous."
Lauren continued: "It's just a shame Mark feels the need to dismiss me in interviews. I don't have a problem with him and I'd say hello if I saw him.
"When he got with Michelle, I was asked about them a lot, but I never said anything bad about him or her. I also never made out I never loved him, because I did - and vice versa. That's what really aggravates me about him.
"He could just be open and say, 'I was with Lauren for a long time, I wish her all the best and I've moved on.' But he's said Michelle is his first proper relationship. Was what we had since we were 15 years old not real, then?"
She added: "I've been in love again since I was with him, but I'd never dismiss how I felt when I was younger as he was my first love, which you always remember. Anyway, c'est la vie..."

BATAVIA – Fermilab's Wilson Hall gets its name from the late Robert R. Wilson, an American physicist most notably known for creating the National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia in the '60s. A lesser known fact about Wilson is that he also dabbled in the arts, leaving his aesthetic stamp on the area through sculpture and architecture.
In an upcoming Fermilab Art Gallery exhibition, the Fermilab Photography Club will present a 53-piece display of images showcasing Wilson's creative imprint on the area, as well as the beauty of the laboratory grounds.
"I think it's nice that the subject of the show is Fermilab, so all the pictures that will be displayed will be something taken on site," said Martin Murphy, a Fermilab operations specialist and photo club member. " ... It's all the things that people who work here or come on site regularly will recognize ... but will see from a little different perspective than they normally do."
The juried exhibit, entitled "Fermilab Examined," will feature 17 photo-club members' works, which will include landscapes, night-scapes, portraits, wildlife, nature, architecture and abstracts, to name a few.
Georgia Schwender of Geneva, the gallery's visual arts coordinator and an art committee volunteer who helped jury the exhibit, said she believes in the talent of the photo club and its members.
"I knew they could put on a terrific show given the opportunity to exhibit in an art gallery," said Schwender. "... It's a really interesting photo club because there are scientists and really interesting people here."
The roughly 60-member club, which is made up of Fermilab employees, retirees and employees' immediate family members, has been around for about three years. The abilities of its members range from beginners to Fermilab's on-staff professional photographers.
"I think there are a lot of [employees] at the lab, who aren't aware of the photo club's existence; and there are a lot of really bright, talented photographers here," Murphy said, adding that the range of utilized photo-processing techniques runs the gamut from "turn-of-the-century" processes used in the 1800s to digital photo-manipulation.
Exhibiting photo club member Elliott McCrory is a Fermilab applied scientist, who said that – in addition to having a full-time job – he dedicates about 12 hours to photography each week.
McCrory owes his passion for photography to his father, who introduced him to his first camera – a Leica – when he was 7 years old.
"My father wasn't a photographer, but he took a lot of really nice pictures; I wanted to be like my dad, I guess," McCrory said, adding that he still has his father's Leica camera, which he has cherished since his father's death. "The [camera's] leather strap still smells like his cologne."
Murphy, who has his own dark room, said he's always had a penchant for the visual arts.
"I drew a lot when I was a kid ... so, [photography] just kind of came naturally," he said. "I never liked reading; I always liked looking at pictures."
Murphy said he hopes the exhibition will spur curiosity among his colleagues, as well as the public, and that more people will then visit Fermilab.
"It's a beautiful landscape to be in, and I think it's underutilized by the public," he said, adding that having a check point is probably what deters the public from visiting. "It's kind of a jewel that no one really knows about."
To visit Fermilab, visitors need to provide a driver's license or valid form of identification and a destination, which could be something as simple as going for a walk on the path, Murphy said.
The art gallery, however, is only open to the public by appointment, during artist receptions and before or after performances and artist lecture series events.
The club's inaugural juried exhibition will run from Monday, Nov. 18, through Sunday Jan. 26 in the Fermilab Art Gallery at Wilson Hall, located at Kirk Road and Pine Street in Batavia. To make a viewing appointment, contact Schwender at firstname.lastname@example.com or 630-840-6825.
There also will be an artist reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20, at the gallery. The event is free and open to the public (no appointment necessary) and will include wine and hors d'oeuvres.

We've Moved!
Hello! The time has finally come for a new beginning.
Since 2009 I have been blogging here on Traditionally Modern Designs, however over the past few months I have been going through the process of starting my new project/side business, {Sweet + Crafty}. I will be focusing on the things I am most passionate about: weddings + events, crafts, DIY projects, print design, interior design, and baking/dessert tables. It will not always be limited to this, but those will be the main focus. This is an outlet for me to share the things that inspire me and in turn I hope to inspire you. There will be a mix between all the gems I come across while browsing through websites/blogs and magazines, as well as projects that I work on myself.
If you previously followed my posts here on Traditionally Modern Designs, then I hope you will join me on this new journey with {Sweet and Crafty}. I will be re-posting some of my favorites from the past if I felt they were particularly interesting and worth sharing. For those of you who are just starting with me, then welcome!
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me at email@example.com and I look forward to hearing from you :)

These prefab sheds and studios are so amazing! What a perfect solution for those who do not have an extra room in their house to make an office or guest room. I hope to have something like this one day - a great way to separate work and living space. Check out {Kanga Room Systems} to learn more about all they have to offer ~ found via {Apartment Therapy}.

Pinterest has kept me busy!
I have hardly been blogging lately and it has been breaking my heart. A few months ago I discovered {Pinterest} and have been hooked! Rather than blogging about the awesome things I find out there, I have been "pinning" them like crazy! In a short period of time, I have created 50+ boards and over 1600 pins!
If you have not heard of Pinterest, it is essentially a place catalog and share visual bookmarks. Rather than keeping a list of URLs to cool things you want to refer back to, taking screenshots or saving images to your desktop, Pinterest allows you to not only save of the images, but it also keeps the link to the original site from which you found it should you need to refer back as needed. The best part is the ability to categorize and organize the pins into different "boards" that are labeled (ie. For the Home or Wedding Ideas). You can connect with your friends who are using Pinterest and that has been the most fun, learning so much about someone from seeing the things they love! If you have not already done so, sign up and start pinning!
If you are interested in seeing the things I love, check out my boards {here}.
The coolest part has been seeing how many things people have actually pinned straight off of my blog! Check that out {here}.
Pin·terest (pĭn'trĭst): n. a social catalog to collect and share things you love
Pin·board (pĭn·bôrd): n. a visual collection of things you love
Pin (pĭn): n. an item you post to a pinboard
Re·Pin (rē·pĭn): v. to post another person's pin to your own pinboard

Dinara's Baby Shower Invites!
As I prepare for several upcoming event dessert tables, two of them being baby showers, I have been doing a ton of fun research to get ideas. I came across this baby shower invitation for {Dinara} on {Oh So Beautiful Paper}. Love the cute clothesline concept and the fact that these were mailed out in pink boxes with a chocolate bar inside! Oh and of course...letterpress!

Repurposing Old Fence Boards
I am all about this blog that I recently started following, {House*Tweaked}, so you will probably be seeing a few more posts of some true gems I found there.
Here are two really awesome ones to start with.
There are two things that I love about the author of this blog, Dana, and her husband (Handy Hubby) besides how amazing their projects turned out. One is that the old fence boards they used have family history behind them, which was important to them - they were able to get them from Dana's husbands grandmother's farm. Another thing is that these projects show how well the couple works together to tag-team projects. In her words: "I come up with some random, off-the-wall idea…Handy Hubby breaks out the power tools and brings it to life…I add a dose of personality and creativity to the final product. Really, that's usually how things work over here. And in the end, we are left with this meaningful, heartfelt piece to view day in and day out. It's a good life, I tell ya."
Here is the beautiful {love headboard} and the awesome {barn door}.

XOXO Workshop!
Today, while checking out my one of my favorite blogs, {Sweet Tooth: Dessert Meets Design}, I came across the XOXO Workshop photoshoot. This gorgeous and beautifully coordinated event was set up as a collaborative project with several vendors for {Emily Steffen} photography workshop. I love it all - it is a perfect balance of rustic and contemporary. My favorite part is the hanging Xs and Os and photos from the old wooden ladder. It all ties together so wonderfully from invitations to décor and desserts!

Soap Flakes!
This is incredible! I have always been pretty anti bar soap. I don't like how slippery they get, how multiple people handle the same bar, and mostly I just really dont like soap dishes that collect water and suds that just looks messy!
Liquid soap contains a lot of water and bar soap is much more concentrated, giving it the ecological upper hand. Not only is it more concentrated, but it eliminates the need for additional plastic bottles by being wrapped in a simple paper. There is also a benefit for storing ~ bar soap can stack much easier than bottles of soap.
This invention solves all of issues that I have with bar soap that prevent me from using it. The handle on this {soap dispenser} pushes the grater back and creates tiny flakes that dissolve easily in water.

Shipping Container Retreat!
My dream one day is to have a really cool home office that is detached from the main house and is in a beautiful backyard. I saw this idea posted a while back on {Dwell.com} and then later on {Apartment Therapy}. I love it! This specific shipping container was turned into a backyard retreat/guest house - so cool! Texas architect, Jim Poteet, was able to find an empty steel shipping container and transform it into this wonderful room for visitors! Measuring 8ft x 40ft, a portion of it was kept as a garden shed and the rest was the living space. Floor to ceiling glass doors and windows, heating and air conditioning, a green roof, bamboo flooring and wall covering were all added, as well as small sink, shower, and a composting toilet. The whole structure was placed on a base made from recycled telephone poles.

Penelope's Bedroom Makeover!
I fell in love with this bedroom makeover when I came across it on {IS*LY} today. The part of this that inspired me was the way they were able to find ways to cut cost by picking up some great deals and doing some DIY along the way. In total this cost $300. Not bad if you ask me!

DIY Bottle Cap Tray
I thought this was a pretty sweet idea from {Apartment Therapy} of something to do with a collection of bottle caps - either paint them or keep the branding from your beverage of choice. This is a perfect project that can start with a cool tray picked up from a swap meet, thrift store or if you have an old one lying around that needs some sprucing up.
PS: I love these colors :)

Pencil Tip Carvings!
This is one of the most incredible art forms I have seen. I received this in one of those awesome e-mail forwards that mothers love sending daily :) After doing some research, I found that the artist's name is Dalton Ghetti. Check out his work {here}. This work is sharp! (pun totally intended) and he does this all without a magnifying glass. Born in Brazil, 49 year old Ghetti says he has been carving since he was a schoolboy - things ranging from stones, large piece of wood, soap, broom hands - until he found this niche.

Los Olivos Wedding
Those who know me well, know that I LOVE the color grey :) Black, white and grey make up much of my wardrobe and as far as home decorating goes, I tend to stick to neutrals for the most part. When I read that this bride's favorite color was grey, it explained why I fell in love with the decor of {this wedding} and the choice of colors used. It was a perfect mix of elegant contemporary and rustic vintage. From the the incredibly unique chandelier, lace table runners and fabric/ribbon covered candle holders to the place setting numbers and menus. My favorite part of all was the fact that the bridesmaid dresses were not only each different, but they were actually all white! It is usually considered a huge fashion faux pas to wear white as a guest to a wedding let alone those standing up with the bride and groom! I thought it was an absolutely beautiful decision and turned out looking amazing with all the different styles and textures of each dress. Thank you {Style Me Pretty} for always featuring such amazing events that are truly masterpieces.

I'm Back!!!
It has been FAR TOO LONG since I have been able to sit down and get to blogging! I have missed it so much! My little brother graduated college, we went on a family vacation, I went to a destination wedding in Cancun, moved to a new apartment, been busy at work...it's been nuts! But I am back now and ready to share a ton :)
Being that I just moved, I have been thinking a lot about decorating and furniture. One of my main challenges over the past few weeks has been figuring out the seating in my living room/dining room area. I only have enough room really for one main couch and a chair, so I have been trying to come up with some other ideas. I seem to be drawn to the idea of cute floor cushions or putting cushions in front of the fireplace. Today I came across these awesome retro {bean bag chairs} on Etsy and had to share! LOVE them!

|MacTavish says Yakupov not going anywhere
13 ноября 2013 года. The Globe and Mail. Whyno, Stephen
Craig MacTavish isn't taking too kindly to comments made by Nail Yakupov's agent about his client's role with the Edmonton Oilers.
A day after Igor Larionov told ESPN.com he'd be open to a trade from the Oilers, MacTavish accused the reporter who wrote the story of "manufacturing it" and defended the NHL team's treatment of Yakupov.
"There's nothing changed from our perspective on Yak," MacTavish said after the NHL general managers' meeting in Toronto.
"The only thing I will say is that adversity in my mind is something that helps spur development. Yak's facing a little bit of adversity, but there aren't too many players of that age that haven't. That's really all I have to say about it."
Larionov's message to the Oilers, via ESPN.com, was to let the 20-year-old Yakupov play. The 2012 No. 1 overall pick was a healthy scratch for two games earlier in the season and is averaging 15 minutes 28 seconds of ice time a game.
"I asked Craig, I said: 'If you guys [are] not happy with him or you have no room for him ... we're willing to make a move. Any team,'" Larionov told ESPN.com.
"That happens and that's part of life. Let's move on."
Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins told the Edmonton Journal that Yakupov was not going anywhere, a sentiment MacTavish repeated Tuesday.
Asked if Larionov might have a point about Yakupov getting a chance to play more, MacTavish voiced support for Eakins's decisions.
"I think Yak's been treated very fairly since he's been in our organization," he said.
"We like Yak, I've said that many times. It's a much bigger story for you people, and it's becoming a bit of a distraction for us right now because we're having to answer these questions.
"We feel the same way about Yak as the day we drafted him. He's a dynamic player that's going to need time to develop and get to the level that we all expect him to get to.
"Is it a smooth line from where he is now to what he's going to become as a player? No, there's going to be ups and downs along the way, and anybody that's been in the game for any length of time will tell you that that is the case," the general manager said.
MacTavish said Yakupov's struggles are part of his development and "anybody with any common sense would tell you the same thing." He then told reporters to relax and left abruptly.

Fast start gives way to familiar tough luck
Solid through three innings, McCarthy, D-backs drop series vs. Rox
DENVER -- Everything was going according to script for the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night.
They scored early runs against Jorge De La Rosa while starter Brandon McCarthy looked well on his way toward pitching deep into the game and giving a tired bullpen a rest.
That all changed in the span of four batters in the fourth inning, as the Rockies rallied for a 9-4 win on a chilly night at Coors Field.
The loss dropped the D-backs to 1-7 on the season, the worst record after eight games in franchise history.
"Nobody likes to lose," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "People get frustrated. But we're professionals. We have a lot of pride. We'll come back and play hard tomorrow."
The D-backs have gone out of their way to emphasize that it is too soon to panic, but catcher Miguel Montero issued a word of caution after the latest loss.
"So far we feel good," Montero said. "Obviously we keep talking about, 'It's early, it's early,' but who cares? We've just got to pick it up right now, because the next thing you know, you're going to be 1-15 and it's going to be hard to pick it up like that. So we either pick it up right now, or things can get ugly."
Saturday held promise early when the D-backs made De La Rosa throw 42 pitches in the first inning as they took a 1-0 lead on an RBI double by Martin Prado.
The D-backs kept the pressure on De La Rosa in the second in making him throw 19 pitches and by scoring a run when Justin Morneau committed an error on a McCarthy grounder, allowing Chris Owings to score from second.
In the third, Mark Trumbo continued his hot start with a two-run homer that put the D-backs up, 4-0.
The homer was the fourth of the year for Trumbo, who has driven in 11 runs this year.
"The command got away from him," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said of De La Rosa. "The pitches started mounting. They put together some tough at bats against him, fouled a lot of pitches off. It was one of those nights where you don't have your best stuff, but you got to find a way, and that's what he did."
Meanwhile, McCarthy cruised through the first three innings, allowing just one hit.
But with one out in the fourth, McCarthy walked Carlos Gonzalez, and Michael Cuddyer followed with a two-run homer to right-center to cut the lead to 4-2.
One out later, Nolan Arenado homered to center to make it 4-3.
"I just kind of lost feel," McCarthy said. "I stopped executing pitches the way I had been. I really don't know what happened. I just sort of lost feel for my sinker and started to really struggle with that command-wise. The first two home runs were just two really bad pitches. I really didn't get the sink I wanted and just didn't put it in the location and got punished. From there, it just wasn't great."
Consistent with the tough start to the season by the D-backs, Arenado's home run -- his first of two on the night -- appeared destined to hit off the top of the wall, but in an attempt to make a leaping catch, A.J. Pollock actually knocked the ball over the wall with his glove.
"My timing was fine; everything was fine," Pollock said. "It's just ... I mean, it's how it's been going, man."
The Rockies scored twice in the fifth, including a run on a rare defensive lapse by the D-backs as they claimed a 5-4 lead. They then tacked on runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth.
McCarthy (0-1) wound up being charged with six runs in six innings of work.
"It's low," McCarthy said of the morale in the clubhouse. "But it's just kind of one of those early tests that we have to figure out quickly. It's not just you want to start winning, but you want to put the positivity back in here. You don't want this to snowball into something where you feel defeated for the season. This is eight games. It's bad, but all it takes it a positive thing to turn it and get something going."
For a few innings Saturday, it appeared that might just happen.

Sessions we teach
Our taught sessions for schools are offered free of charge. They are very popular and need to be booked in advance.
Our sessions are delivered by a team of education officers and costumed interpreters, and can be run in three ways:
- workshops at The National Archives, Kew
- virtual classroom sessions
- videoconferencing sessions
Our taught sessions are designed by qualified teachers to complement the National Curriculum for History or relevant exam specifications syllabi. They are delivered by teachers, or in some cases by costumed interpreters.
Our programme caters for students from key stage 1-5, SEN students and undergraduate groups. We also offer CPD for history teachers. Find out what type of session would suit your group best:
All workshops take place in our Education Room at The National Archives in Kew; a pupil-friendly, welcoming, purpose built classroom, equipped with a SMARTboard, iPads, audiovisual equipment and an induction loop. Using documents from the collection, our enquiry-based sessions aim to deepen students' understanding of evidence and develop their skills of analysis.

Find out about visiting The National Archives
Select a workshop.
Virtual classroom
We can connect with you online via our virtual classroom service. This interactive virtual environment enables students to participate in a live session led by an actor or an education officer from The National Archives. Students interact on computers or iPads to examine and annotate high quality digital images of original documents, and exchange ideas and ask questions via a chat-box and by microphone.
See what other teachers have said about the virtual classroom:
Giving the girls the opportunity to ask their own questions whenever they wanted throughout the discussion, via the chat box, gave an excellent insight into how they were processing the information. They were all able to contribute ideas at their own pace, as opposed to perhaps relying on others in the class to put their hand up in a classroom situation…Work did not have to be presented in a particular way so the girls were more free to express themselves and their ideas.
Year 6 teacher
What does my school need to run a virtual classroom session?
The virtual classroom runs through Blackboard Collaborate. The programme requires Java Software, and can be downloaded onto your school network for free.
You will also need one webcam, microphone and enough computers or iPads for students to log into the virtual classroom individually or in pairs. Audio can be played through speakers in the classroom, or through individual headsets. A member of the team will contact your school in advance of your session to test the audio and video.
We run virtual classroom tasters which are a chance for you to try out the software with us before the actual session.
Select a virtual classroom.
During a videoconference, students interact live with Education staff from The National Archives, or with actors. High quality scans of documents are projected into the classroom for students to analyse and interpret. Original documents can also be viewed via a bird's eye camera. Students ask questions and share ideas with the education officer, and have the opportunity for paired or group discussion.
What does my school need to run a videoconference session?
Your school will need specialist videoconferencing equipment. This comprises of a television camera, microphone and CODEC (a piece of hardware or software that converts digital and audio data). We advise you to consult your IT co-ordinator if you are unsure whether you have specialist videoconferencing equipment, or require support setting it up.
If you do not have specialist equipment we can create a 'browser' link which can be copied and pasted into your browser. You do need an Ethernet cable connecting to the internet and preferably a whiteboard connecting to your PC.
Find more guidance:
- vscene.jisc.ac.uk
- A blog run by consultant Mina Patel, for anyone interested in using videoconferencing in the classroom. The blog includes useful tips, for example Mina suggests taking a photo of your equipment so that you have a record of where the wires should go.
Select a videoconference.
Classroom resources
The National Archives produces a range of stand alone online resources for you to use in the classroom. These include online lessons, which you can print out or present on a whiteboard.
We also produce document collections based on different themes or time periods. Each collection is introduced by a historian of the period and contains teachers' notes with suggested ways on how to use them in the classroom. You can download all documents which are copyright-free for use in the classroom.
We often produce Pinterest boards to accompany our online resources. Visually engaging, we believe they are a good way to spark a classroom discussion, and you can pin the content that's relevant to you to your own boards.
We have also produced a wide range of interactive topics such as Focus on Film, which was nominated for a Children's BAFTA. This resource also contains a large film archive. Also our Victorians website can be used to help students develop evidence skills.

Courthouses were essential in establishing a sense of permanence and rule in early Virginia communities, being not only centers of legal and civic activity but venues for business and barter, playing host likewise to a spectrum of community-building social activities such as picnics and games. In the winter of 1940–1941, the Virginia-based Hirst Dillon Milhollen (1906–1970), an etcher by trade and chairman of the exhibits committee for the Washington Society of Etchers, photographed courthouses throughout the commonwealth, the only criterion for inclusion being that the courthouse had to predate 1871 in its construction. The following year, Milhollen privately printed Old Virginia Court Houses, a 100-edition loose-leaf portfolio whose etchings drew upon Milhollen's own gathering of original photos.

Hi Dale,
Any chance Milhollen sketched the old Charles City Courthouse? I have a patron who was asking about detailed images of it. I am sure he would find an etching extremely useful. thanks!
Any sketches of the Buchanan County VA courthouse? If so, would love a picture. Thanks
I recently found a Hirst etching at an estate sale. Do you know anyone who does price values for etchings like these. The etching is of the Capitol Rotunda and its signed on the back.
I have an original Hirst Milhollen etching entitled "Old Street, Leesburg, VA". It is signed in pencil on the border but on the etching, in the right hand corner, there is his
signature with a mispelled "Lessburg and then, under that, is, I think, a number that I can't read and the word, "Dixie". Are you familiar with this etching? When was it done? It was a gift, many years ago to my father from a patient.
I have original itchings of American Historical Interest by Hirst Milhollen, set 6. Can you give me any information about these.
Thank You
I too have that collecton. Origional hand etched in pencil and signed. Mine is No.7 out of limited to 25 . I can't

Quote from: kerri.howard on June 18, 2011, 03:27:22 PMYeah and isn't baytril rendered ineffective by calcium if given together / too close?I have heard people say baytril as well shouldn't be given with dairy, not exactly sure if its just a rolling assumption or a known fact (kinda like baytril will stunt the growth of a young rat, which is assumed, because it is only proven in puppies).
Yeah and isn't baytril rendered ineffective by calcium if given together / too close?
Hmmm...but that is just for 1-14 day old babies given double dosing of what we would normally. Have they found this in regular dosing in young rats?
I know that a lot of human antibiotics are rendered ineffective when given with dairy, too. So, we just play it safe around here and wait two hours before or after meds for anything like that. I'm jealous of the people giving their rats meds in food. Mine ALWAYS seem to sense it, no matter what I put it in.

Historic Map Works
From the site:
Drawing on the world's most extensive collection of American land ownership maps, it is now easier than ever to research the history of almost any location. The website presently contains 205,608 digital maps and views from the 19th and early 20th centuries searchable by name and geographic location. In many American locations, you can search by modern address to access many temporal layers spanning decades of change and growth. Each layer, a distinct slice of time, describes that area's development visually and contextually.
Viewable alongside our ever growing collection of American maps are the antiquarian World maps in our Osher Map Library Collection which includes works from 500+ years of history's most notable cartographers. A few of the more recognizable names from the collection include: Waldseemuller, Ortelius, Mercator, Hondius, Blaeu, Visscher, Coronelli, Speed, Bellin, and Des Barres. We now offer our members the ability to print maps at home, download images from our maps and overlay the geocode boundaries of many of our cadastral maps on top of a modern world map.

That's a nice map site, he's got a very nice collection of antiquarian maps.
I really like David Rumsey's Historical Map Collection as well.
He's got a nice embed function that lets you embed his map browser into your blog site sort of like Google maps embed feature. I just started blogging a few weeks ago and had no problem getting it to work.
This one is mine. It's got an embedded map from his site on it.

Here goes...A human, a human and a human walk into the bar...
Get it?

One of each?
Gee ... political correctness taken to its logical conclusion. :-P~~~~~~~~~~~~
Actually (by way of introduction) I would like to point out that as far as 'politically correctness' goes, the idea that there is actually no such thing as a "Race" would go against everything that the government preaches. There isn't any clearer sign of who the "Enemy" is than skin color and overt displays of a cultural difference. However, I believe more in the sociobiological and zoological ideas concerning races (actually 'species' is a much more scientifically apt term.) and given the conclusions of those esteemed sciences there is only one race of beings known as Homo sapiens sapiens. Here's how they figure it. If a Philipino man and a Native American woman mate and the children of that union are also able to mate with another ( lets say, a Norwegian man) and have children that can also mate with etc., etc; this automatically means that the two are of the same species. And to be absolutely clear on this there is NO OTHER TEST (besides genetics) of a species than this. When you can point out a "Hybrid" human being, the race line has some pull. All that we see that we determine as being of a race has occurred because of (sorry, but it is true)geographical isolation of small populations, inbreeding, and the fact that we are most attracted to people who look similar to us. I wonder how people would feel if when filling out their insurance forms they had to check a box under a column labeled "Breed". Because that is what we mean when we talk about race.
Me? Euro-mutt.

Posted by GameDemon in Manyuu Hiken-chou
Manyuu Hiken-chou episodes 11 & 12
Alright, I suppose I really should write something about the last episodes. Well, Manyuu Hiken-chou may not have been the best and most serious of anime, but it was very unique. Sure, the entire plot is bullshit, the story isn't something one should take seriously and there was only one fansub group (SubDesu) actually willing to sub this. Still, I found this anime worth writing about, especially when you look at some of the other anime that was aired during the summer.
First thing's first, SubDesu; thank you for the subs!
Now to the actual anime, I'm confused. From episode eight till approximately ten they have been focusing on Chifusa's past, her big breast training and the past of other characters. But with these last two episodes they seemed to have rushed the entire thing.
In the last episodes Chifusa and Kaede met up with a woman who would be able to teach Chifusa a lot of things about her powers. What should have happened over a number of episodes, happened within two episodes. The woman showed Chifusa a new way of taking breasts, a way that brings pleasure instead of pain.
Chifusa seemed to have understood; she practiced the technique and learned how to take breasts as well as give them without any pain.
The last episode was the strangest of all; Chifusa's sisters and brothers were at her doorstep, wanting to bring her back home. But not before she had herself a rematch with Ouka. It ended pretty quickly, Chifusa finished it quickly and ended up giving Ouka her breasts back. What confuses me here is that Ouka, who should've been happy that her breasts had been restored, was actually pretty pissed off.
Chifusa, having been ambushed by her family, bows down to them and greets them. They were surprised to learn that Chifusa gained the ability to restore breasts. I think it's because of that, that they allowed Chifusa and Kaede to resume their quest without any trouble.
It was a very strange end, considering the trouble they had caused for Chifusa. But we must all keep in mind that we cannot take this story seriously. If you have nothing else to watch and are up for a laugh; go for it!Read More

Manyuu Hiken-chou episodes 08 & 09
Well.. It's Wednesday, so there's basically very little to watch. So I decided to catch up on Manyuu Hiken-chou. Why not, right? Well, I'll tell you why not; the show is starting to get annoying. Nothing ever really changes… It's still about breasts, Chifusa is still being targeted, Kaede is still with Chifusa and bigger is supposedly still better.
Episode eight is just one big drag. Chifusa and Kaede arrive at Sanjyuu after having traveled for so long. But all they find is Lord Mie, who is uncover, on the prowl for big breasts. That's what this entire episode is about, that man and his obsession for breasts.
At one point Chifusa gets captured by someone from the Manyuu. Kaede and Lord Mie set out to save her. The man walks in, sees a scratch on one of Chifusa's breasts and goes completely berserk. He defeats an small army like it's nothing, screaming "Oppai!" every time he wipes out an enemy. And now Chifusa, up against the same man who kidnapped her, defeats her kidnapper with easy, saying that she memorized his style and speed. This episode was just one big disaster. I like comedy, but this is something else entirely.
Now we arrive at episode nine, which wasn't that much better. But, if anything, it was slightly different from usual. This time it's Kaede who got all the attention. Kaede, during their travels through the woods, stumbles on something, falls down a hill and lands ass first on a man's face. The man was being chased by, surprise, a bunch of girls from the Manyuu.
Once Chifusa took care of those three idiots, the man put on his glasses and saw Kaede. He wanted to paint her, because he saw Kaede as the perfect woman. Later it turns out that he wanted to paint Keade naked because of her small breasts. He sees small breasts as the future and thinks of big breasts as nothing but useless flabs of fat.
Kaede, feeling insulted and confused, flees the inn, only to be surprised by those three idiots from the Manyuu again. She was just about to be attacked when that painting moron jumps in and launches some sort of freaky butt-attack. Chifusa now joins in, finds out the truth about those three and defeats them for the second time.
In the end Kaede decided to let that man paint her anyway, but that she wouldn't stay by his side because she wanted to continue her journey with Chifusa, to one day regain her breasts. It's a good thing that there are only twelve episodes to this anime, meaning that it should get interesting really soon, I hope. Otherwise I really do predict a shitty ending, and that would be unforgivable.Read More

Manyuu Hiken-chou episode 07
And once again it's boobies time! But seriously, this anime is getting more and more fanatic about breasts. I didn't even think that was possible, lol. It went from taking tits to making money with them, giving them, taking them for your own and now training them as a weapon. Only in Japan.
This episode started immediately with naked breasts in your screen. But not just one pair, oh no.. Why show just one pair, when you could show like half a dozen of 'em? So yeah, here we are in this bath house with like half a dozen of naked women, when suddenly someone mounts an attack on the landlady's breasts, causing the landlady to lose her precious, well-rounded breasts. But this attack is different from Chifusa's breasts attacks. When Chifusa uses her skill, she takes the breasts of her target, causing her own breasts to get bigger. But in this case, the landlady's breasts were taken but the breasts of the attacker did not grow larger.
After that unfortunate event, you'll find Chifusa and Kaede in some sort of inn, where the two get massaged after a long and painful training session. Both the girls got approached by this old lady, after their massage was finished, that told Chifusa and Kaede about the recent breast attacks. Chifusa immediately suspected that someome from the Manyuu, who hold the ability to take away breasts, was behind all of the attacks.
Chifusa and Kaede decided to take action. Both of them went to the home of the next target, which turned out to be some fat old hag with big breasts and a much bigger mouth. Chifusa and Kaede both applied for the position of bodyguard, in order to protect that fatty and catch the culprit, who obtained the name of "Oppai Kozo" which loosely translated means; Boobie Kid. The fatty hired Chifusa almost right away, but she decided to throw Kaede out. The fatty refused to have anything to do with Kaede because of her small breasts. But then some unknown female swordsman shows up, also applying for the job. She too was denied because of her lacking breast-size. She, unlike Kaede, was not satisfied and decided to show the fatty was she could do. Quickly she unsheathed her blade, made one swing with it and cut off Chifusa's top, exposing her huge breasts to the public. The fatty took notice and decided to hire her as well, just to be on the safe side.
Night is approaching and so it's time to go to bed. The culprit, out of nowhere, sneaks in and stealthy mounts an attack on Chifusa's breasts, not knowing that she was only pretending to be asleep. The culprit somehow recognized Chifusa's breasts and called out her name, causing Chifusa to react and quickly stand up. The culprit, after getting passed that female swordsman with the use of a smoke bomb, flees to safety.
Both Chifusa and that female swordsman decided to chase her. Chifusa ended up in a dead-end road with piles of wood and whatnot, only to be surprised by that Boobie Kid again. The Boobie Kid removed her mask and showed herself to Chifusa. After hearing out the Boobie Kid, who turned out to be none other than Chifusa's masseuse, Chifusa decided to ask the Boobie Kid for help. But now that female swordsman joins the party, and mounts an attack on both of them. Chifusa, wanting to protect that girl, got in the way and got her breasts sliced for the first time. It was a short-lived battle, but Chifusa was outmatched. The Boobie Kid pushed some construction material and whatnot onto that female swordsman and they managed to escape. However, that girl did not escape safely, she received an serious cut during their escape, causing her life to be in serious danger. Once escaped, they return to that inn, so that they could start treating her wound.
This was a serious eye-opener for Chifusa. She realized that she had to train a lot more before she could take on that female swordsman on equal terms. I think, based on all the anime I've seen so far, that she is going to train and discover some new power. I know, I know.. It sounds pretty standard, but come on, doesn't it usually go like that? Either way, I think we're going to find out in the next episode.Read More

Manyuu Hiken-chou episode 05
Here we go again. Chifusa, who's breasts have once again grown larger, finds herself in another village together with her companion Kaede. The episode starts with Chifusa shaking dice while men stare at her giant breasts. For your average anime, this would sound weird, but this is Manyuu Hiken-Chou, where things like this are perfectly normal.
This episode centers around a family who lost their mother. The mother, who's breasts were huge, passed away due to an illness, leaving the husband and children to fend for themselves.
The episode starts with a women who was sexually harassed by four unknown individuals. Chifusa and Kaede came to her aid right away. Kaede attempted to chase the culprits but got caught up in a trap and ended up with a cold because of it.
After that Chifusa meets the husband, who's wife has passed away. She thinks of him as a pathetic little man, because he can't get it together. So Chifusa decided to have a little talk with him, with the intention of helping him. The man soon walks away after getting a bit emotional.
Now we go back to a house, where the attacked woman is resting on a futon, explaining to all the present people how and where she was attacked. This all led to half the village, including Chifusa and Kaedo, who seemed to have gotten over her cold, to go look for the four unknown culprits.
Now they are walking along this countryside dirt road where, coincidentally, all the men seem to encouter one trap after the other, leaving only Chifusa and Kaede. At the end of the dirt road they encouter the four culprits, who seemed to be ecstatic about Chifusa's huge breasts. Suddenly the four all jump at Chifusa, who simply knocked them all back down. After removing all the straw and whatnot, it turned out that the culprits were all children. The same children who's mother had passed away. As it turns out, they only jump women with very large breasts, because their mother had large breasts. They simply wanted some motherly love, so it seems.
The four are returned to their father, who, at the time, had his hand on the attacked woman's breast. Chifusa and Kaede explained everything to both of them, making them understand why the children did what they did. The woman, who seems to have replaced their mother and his wife, no longer seemed to mind.
At the end we see Chifusa's sister Kagefusa questioning a man about Chifusa's whereabouts. I think it's only be a matter of time before she catches up. The real question is, was is she planning to do?Read More

Manyuu Hiken-chou episode 04
Alright. Strange, this show. The episodes are released and subbed very irregularly.
Anyway, I finished watching this episode and the story hasn't changed very much. Although there was a small twist, you see.. There was this girl named Kaeda, this girl had a very large pair of breasts. But instead of showing them off, she wanted them smaller, so that she could dive properly and catch whatnot at the bottom of the ocean.
Then Kaeda's youger sister gets captured by a perverted squid, who rubs it's slimey tentacles all over her body. After that Chifusa and Kaeda dive into the ocean to battle the squid. Things didn't all go as planned, but it ended in Kaeda killing the squid, but losing her big breasts at the hands of Chifusa. So yeah, yet another happy ending was achieved in this episode.Read More

FPP E-Newsletter December 2012 (PDF Version)
Dear Friends,
The importance of ensuring respect for the rights of forest peoples' to control their forests, lands and livelihoods, becomes ever clearer and yet more contested. As the articles in this edition of our newsletter starkly reveal, land and resource grabs are not just being imposed by commercial developers but are being actively promoted by governments, whose principle responsibility should be to protect the rights of citizens. Yet these same impositions are also being resisted, sometimes at great personal cost, by local communities and indigenous peoples.

I was wondering, from where does the opposite force and thus energy comes from when we apply force.
For example, lets say there are two persons (P1 and P2) on the universe, and no force is applied to them. P1 applies a force to P2. P2 will start to move. P1 lost some energy to do that. Now, according to the third law of newton, P1 will also get a force from P2 as a reaction.
But from who does the energy of reaction comes from? I mean, I found it hard to believe that P2 is the one who losses energy, just for the sake of reaction. So, from where does this force, and thus energy, comes from?
I am not an expert, I just know the basics. So please, be tolerant :P

Hydrogen Bonding
- Page ID
- 1660
A hydrogen bond is a weak type of force that forms a special type of dipole-dipole attraction which occurs when a hydrogen atom bonded to a strongly electronegative atom exists in the vicinity of another electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons. These bonds are generally stronger than ordinary dipole-dipole and dispersion forces, but weaker than true covalent and ionic bonds.
The evidence for hydrogen bonding
Many elements form compounds with hydrogen. If you plot the boiling points of the compounds of the group 14 elements with hydrogen, you find that the boiling points increase as you go down the group.
The increase in boiling point happens because the molecules are getting larger with more electrons, and so van der Waals dispersion forces become greater. If you repeat this exercise with the compounds of the elements in groups 15, 16, and 17 with hydrogen, something odd happens.
Although for the most part the trend is exactly the same as in group 4 (for exactly the same reasons), the boiling point of the compound of hydrogen with the first element in each group is abnormally high. In the cases of \(NH_3\), \(H_2O\) and \(HF\) there must be some additional intermolecular forces of attraction, requiring significantly more heat energy to break. These relatively powerful intermolecular forces are described as hydrogen bonds.
Origin of Hydrogen Bonding
The molecules which have this extra bonding are:
Notice that in each of these molecules:
- The hydrogen is attached directly to one of the most electronegative elements, causing the hydrogen to acquire a significant positive charge.
- Each of the elements to which the hydrogen is attached is not only significantly negative, but also has at least one "active" lone pair.
Lone pairs at the 2-level have the electrons contained in a relatively small volume of space which therefore has a high density of negative charge. Lone pairs at higher levels are more diffuse and not so attractive to positive things.
If you are not familiar with electronegativity, you should follow this link before you go on.
Consider two water molecules coming close together.
The \(\delta^+\) hydrogen is so strongly attracted to the lone pair that it is almost as if you were beginning to form a co-ordinate (dative covalent) bond. It doesn't go that far, but the attraction is significantly stronger than an ordinary dipole-dipole interaction. Hydrogen bonds have about a tenth of the strength of an average covalent bond, and are being constantly broken and reformed in liquid water. If you liken the covalent bond between the oxygen and hydrogen to a stable marriage, the hydrogen bond has "just good friends" status.
Water is a "perfect" example of hydrogen bonding. Notice that each water molecule can potentially form four hydrogen bonds with surrounding water molecules. There are exactly the right numbers of \(\delta^+\) hydrogens and lone pairs so that every one of them can be involved in hydrogen bonding.
This is why the boiling point of water is higher than that of ammonia or hydrogen fluoride. In the case of ammonia, the amount of hydrogen bonding is limited by the fact that each nitrogen only has one lone pair. In a group of ammonia molecules, there are not enough lone pairs to go around to satisfy all the hydrogens. In hydrogen fluoride, the problem is a shortage of hydrogens. In water, there are exactly the right number of each. Water could be considered as the "perfect" hydrogen bonded system.
More complex examples of hydrogen bonding
The hydration of negative ions
When an ionic substance dissolves in water, water molecules cluster around the separated ions. This process is called hydration. Water frequently attaches to positive ions by co-ordinate (dative covalent) bonds. It bonds to negative ions using hydrogen bonds.
If you are interested in the bonding in hydrated positive ions, you could follow this link to co-ordinate (dative covalent) bonding.
The diagram shows the potential hydrogen bonds formed to a chloride ion, Cl-. Although the lone pairs in the chloride ion are at the 3-level and would not normally be active enough to form hydrogen bonds, in this case they are made more attractive by the full negative charge on the chlorine.
However complicated the negative ion, there will always be lone pairs that the hydrogen atoms from the water molecules can hydrogen bond to.
Hydrogen bonding in alcohols
An alcohol is an organic molecule containing an -OH group. Any molecule which has a hydrogen atom attached directly to an oxygen or a nitrogen is capable of hydrogen bonding. Such molecules will always have higher boiling points than similarly sized molecules which don't have an -O-H or an -N-H group. The hydrogen bonding makes the molecules "stickier", and more heat is necessary to separate them.
Ethanol, \(\ce{CH3CH2-O-H}\), and methoxymethane, \(\ce{CH3-O-CH3}\), both have the same molecular formula, \(\ce{C2H6O}\).
They have the same number of electrons, and a similar length to the molecule. The van der Waals attractions (both dispersion forces and dipole-dipole attractions) in each will be much the same. However, ethanol has a hydrogen atom attached directly to an oxygen - and that oxygen still has exactly the same two lone pairs as in a water molecule. Hydrogen bonding can occur between ethanol molecules, although not as effectively as in water. The hydrogen bonding is limited by the fact that there is only one hydrogen in each ethanol molecule with sufficient + charge.
In methoxymethane, the lone pairs on the oxygen are still there, but the hydrogens are not sufficiently + for hydrogen bonds to form. Except in some rather unusual cases, the hydrogen atom has to be attached directly to the very electronegative element for hydrogen bonding to occur. The boiling points of ethanol and methoxymethane show the dramatic effect that the hydrogen bonding has on the stickiness of the ethanol molecules:
|ethanol (with hydrogen bonding)
|methoxymethane (without hydrogen bonding)
The hydrogen bonding in the ethanol has lifted its boiling point about 100°C. It is important to realize that hydrogen bonding exists in addition to van der Waals attractions. For example, all the following molecules contain the same number of electrons, and the first two are much the same length. The higher boiling point of the butan-1-ol is due to the additional hydrogen bonding.
Comparing the two alcohols (containing -OH groups), both boiling points are high because of the additional hydrogen bonding due to the hydrogen attached directly to the oxygen - but they are not the same. The boiling point of the 2-methylpropan-1-ol isn't as high as the butan-1-ol because the branching in the molecule makes the van der Waals attractions less effective than in the longer butan-1-ol.
Hydrogen bonding in organic molecules containing nitrogen
Hydrogen bonding also occurs in organic molecules containing N-H groups - in the same sort of way that it occurs in ammonia. Examples range from simple molecules like CH3NH2 (methylamine) to large molecules like proteins and DNA. The two strands of the famous double helix in DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds between hydrogen atoms attached to nitrogen on one strand, and lone pairs on another nitrogen or an oxygen on the other one.
Donors and Acceptors
In order for a hydrogen bond to occur there must be both a hydrogen donor and an acceptor present. The donor in a hydrogen bond is the atom to which the hydrogen atom participating in the hydrogen bond is covalently bonded, and is usually a strongly electronegative atom such as N,O, or F. The hydrogen acceptor is the neighboring electronegative ion or molecule, and must posses a lone electron pair in order to form a hydrogen bond.
Why does a hydrogen bond occur?
Since the hydrogen donor is strongly electronegative, it pulls the covalently bonded electron pair closer to its nucleus, and away from the hydrogen atom. The hydrogen atom is then left with a partial positive charge, creating a dipole-dipole attraction between the hydrogen atom bonded to the donor, and the lone electron pair on the accepton. This results in a hydrogen bond.(see Interactions Between Molecules With Permanent Dipoles)
Types of hydrogen bonds
Hydrogen bonds can occur within one single molecule, between two like molecules, or between two unlike molecules.
Intramolecular hydrogen bonds
Intramolecular hydrogen bonds are those which occur within one single molecule. This occurs when two functional groups of a molecule can form hydrogen bonds with each other. In order for this to happen, both a hydrogen donor an acceptor must be present within one molecule, and they must be within close proximity of each other in the molecule. For example, intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs in ethylene glycol (C2H4(OH)2) between its two hydroxyl groups due to the molecular geometry.
Intermolecular hydrogen bonds
Intermolecular hydrogen bonds occur between separate molecules in a substance. They can occur between any number of like or unlike molecules as long as hydrogen donors and acceptors are present an in positions in which they can interact.For example, intermolecular hydrogen bonds can occur between NH3 molecules alone, between H2O molecules alone, or between NH3 and H2O molecules.
Properties and effects of hydrogen bonds
On Boiling Point
When we consider the boiling points of molecules, we usually expect molecules with larger molar masses to have higher normal boiling points than molecules with smaller molar masses. This, without taking hydrogen bonds into account, is due to greater dispersion forces (see Interactions Between Nonpolar Molecules). Larger molecules have more space for electron distribution and thus more possibilities for an instantaneous dipole moment. However, when we consider the table below, we see that this is not always the case.
|Molar Mass
|Normal Boiling Point
|18 g/mol
|20 g/mol
|17 g/mol
|34 g/mol
|36.4 g/mol
|34 g/mol
We see that H2O, HF, and NH3 each have higher boiling points than the same compound formed between hydrogen and the next element moving down its respective group, indicating that the former have greater intermolecular forces. This is because H2O, HF, and NH3 all exhibit hydrogen bonding, whereas the others do not. Furthermore, \(H_2O\) has a smaller molar mass than HF but partakes in more hydrogen bonds per molecule, so its boiling point is consequently higher.
On Viscosity
The same effect that is seen on boiling point as a result of hydrogen bonding can also be observed in the viscosity of certain substances. Those substances which are capable of forming hydrogen bonds tend to have a higher viscosity than those that do not. Substances which have the possibility for multiple hydrogen bonds exhibit even higher viscosities.
Factors preventing Hydrogen bonding
Hydrogen bonding cannot occur without significant electronegativity differences between hydrogen and the atom it is bonded to. Thus, we see molecules such as PH3, which no not partake in hydrogen bonding. PH3 exhibits a trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry like that of ammmonia, but unlike NH3 it cannot hydrogen bond. This is due to the similarity in the electronegativities of phosphorous and hydrogen. Both atoms have an electronegativity of 2.1, and thus, no dipole moment occurs. This prevents the hydrogen bonding from acquiring the partial positive charge needed to hydrogen bond with the lone electron pair in another molecule. (see Polarizability)
Atom Size
The size of donors and acceptors can also effect the ability to hydrogen bond. This can account for the relatively low ability of Cl to form hydrogen bonds. When the radii of two atoms differ greatly or are large, their nuclei cannot achieve close proximity when they interact, resulting in a weak interaction.
Hydrogen Bonding in Nature
Hydrogen bonding plays a crucial role in many biological processes and can account for many natural phenomena such as the Unusual properties of Water. In addition to being present in water, hydrogen bonding is also important in the water transport system of plants, secondary and tertiary protein structure, and DNA base pairing.
The cohesion-adhesion theory of transport in vascular plants uses hydrogen bonding to explain many key components of water movement through the plant's xylem and other vessels. Within a vessel, water molecules hydrogen bond not only to each other, but also to the cellulose chain which comprises the wall of plant cells. This creates a sort of capillary tube which allows for capillary action to occur since the vessel is relatively small. This mechanism allows plants to pull water up into their roots. Furthermore,hydrogen bonding can create a long chain of water molecules which can overcome the force of gravity and travel up to the high altitudes of leaves.
Hydrogen bonding is present abundantly in the secondary structure of proteins, and also sparingly in tertiary conformation. The secondary structure of a protein involves interactions (mainly hydrogen bonds) between neighboring polypeptide backbones which contain Nitrogen-Hydrogen bonded pairs and oxygen atoms. Since both N and O are strongly electronegative, the hydrogen atoms bonded to nitrogen in one polypeptide backbone can hydrogen bond to the oxygen atoms in another chain and visa-versa. Though they are relatively weak,these bonds offer great stability to secondary protein structure because they repeat a great number of times.
In tertiary protein structure,interactions are primarily between functional R groups of a polypeptide chain; one such interaction is called a hydrophobic interaction. These interactions occur because of hydrogen bonding between water molecules around the hydrophobe and further reinforce conformation.
