Dear Friend,
Last week, I voted in support of the omnibus appropriations bill to fund the federal government. This legislation contains several priorities that are important to Nevadans and Americans across the country. Specifically, the bill includes funding to: combat our nation's devastating opioid crisis, ensure military readiness, and give our schools the tools they need to prevent violence on school grounds. My staff and I also fought to ensure this bill included funding for priorities that are unique to western states like ours, including critical funding to combat devastating wildfires, improve forest health, and promote clean air and water.
While there is always more work to be done when dealing with broad legislation like this, it's important to note that this bill does address many of the current funding priorities that are important to CD-2 and our country. Learn more about why I voted in favor of this spending package below:
Regular Order Process:
If you've received my newsletter in the past, you're aware the House passed all 12 of its appropriations bills off the Floor through regular order by last year's September 30th deadline. Unfortunately, I cannot say a similar and transparent process took place in the Senate, where its style of legislating rarely allows constituents to see where their representatives stand on an issue.
With regard to funding the federal government, when nothing is done by the Senate – until Congress is quickly approaching a government shutdown – all the substantive talks take place solely between House and Senate leadership to resolve issues at the eleventh hour. This process, which is fueled by Senate-inaction, flies in the face of the regular order process and rank-and-file Members of Congress who are elected and expected to carry out their work in a transparent manner.
Government Shutdowns
As you know, I was involved in the 2013-decision to shut the federal government down, and supported that based on the issue at hand, which was the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
However, I am certainly not comfortable shutting down the federal government because the Senate refuses to be transparent about its appropriations process. I'm not willing to tell our troops and the Pentagon they must cease operations, while they are involved in foreign engagements, because one chamber of Congress refuses to appropriate the funding needed to support their missions unless it's behind closed doors.
The bottom line is this: a government shutdown is not an effective or responsible tool for negotiation. But until the Senate is able to fulfill one of its most basic duties as outlined in the Constitution, these types of spending bills will be the only way Congress can continue allocating funding for critical programs that support our military, veterans, and national security efforts.
Analyzing the Omnibus
When the bill was released, my staff and I immediately divided the bill up into sections. We specifically reviewed the bill's text for content based on the priorities critical to CD-2. Based on the time we had to review the legislation, and the approach we took in dividing this work, I felt confident in my knowledge of the measures included in the bill. Additionally, our swift and comprehensive analysis of the bill was aided by the fact that I'm an appropriator, so my staff and I knew how to look at this type of legislation in a particularly effective manner.
What's included in the Omnibus?
- The Pentagon is now on the road to recovery:
- Defense: Included in this bill is $654.6 billion for the Department of Defense (DOD). This provides a $61.1 billion increase over Fiscal Year 2017 funding levels. In his budget request, Secretary Mattis identified the serious readiness shortfalls this funding will help address, especially at a time when we're attempting to recover from previous budget cuts and ongoing engagements that have devastated our military readiness. Specifically, this funding will go toward mission support operations, equipment procurement, research and development, and critically needed maintenance.
- Troops: This legislation provides a well-deserved 2.4% pay increase to our troops – the largest pay raise in eight years.
- Funding to protect rangeland health:
- Fire suppression funding: Included in this bill is $3.8 billion for fire suppression funding, including budget reforms that will increase the authority to devote more resources for fire emergencies without cannibalizing the accounts which serve fire prevention, rangeland management, and other fuels reduction priorities.
- Keeping a promise to our nation's heroes:
- Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA): Included in this legislation is an $8.5 billion increase from Fiscal Year 2017 levels for the VA – a total of $184.5 billion – with special funds set aside to continue to address the claims backlog.
- Keeping our children safe on school grounds:
- Department of Education (DOE): Included in this legislation is $70.6 billion for the DOE, which is a $2.6 billion increase over Fiscal Year 2017 levels. Specifically, this legislation includes about $2.5 billion across several agencies – from the FBI to the DOE – to address school safety.
- Mental Health Component: Through the 21st Century Cures Act, $205 million is allocated for various behavioral and mental health programs specific to school safety and violence prevention.
- Department of Education (DOE): Included in this legislation is $70.6 billion for the DOE, which is a $2.6 billion increase over Fiscal Year 2017 levels. Specifically, this legislation includes about $2.5 billion across several agencies – from the FBI to the DOE – to address school safety.
- Supporting public health programs:
- This legislation provides $3 billion to the National Institute of Health (NIH) to address the devastating opioid crisis, as well as funding for other important programs administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Health and Human Services. I'm pleased to also report this bill includes $130 million in funding for rural community programs that are especially important in districts like ours.
- Sexual Harassment: The House took action last year to announce its zero tolerance policy in regards to sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace by passing a resolution (H.R. 4924) that received overwhelming bipartisan support. Unfortunately, although the House amended its own rules, the Senate did nothing with our reform legislation. While the House fought to have these measures included in the omnibus, I cannot speak for why the Senate chose not to join us in support of these reforms. Additionally, the fact this resolution passed with a majority of Members' support in the House should send a clear message that these reforms were common-sense and not controversial.
I've heard from a few of you who are upset with the apparent funding for Planned Parenthood included in this bill. It's important to realize that there is no line item included for Planned Parenthood funding in this legislation. This means, no specific funding is set aside for Planned Parenthood. However, the organization is still eligible to receive funding for specific health care services provided to women and children – other than abortion services because the Hyde Amendment (which prohibits federal funds from being used toward abortion services) – has been kept intact. Additionally, Planned Parenthood receives funding (75%) through traditional Medicaid reimbursements which are tied to the patient, not to the organization the patient chooses to utilize. Short of changing the mandatory funding algorithm, which dictates Medicaid reimbursements, there is absolutely no way to prevent Planned Parenthood from receiving funds through the fee-for-service care of a woman for wellness visits or other women's health related needs. To be clear, Medicaid does not cover abortion procedures except for when the life of the mother is in danger, or in cases of rape and incest.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about my vote to support funding for some of the critical agencies and programs Americans rely on. Please take a moment to let me know what you think through my website.
Continuing off the school safety issues discussed in my March 17th newsletter, my staff and I plan to take another comprehensive look at this issue next week. As you know, in light of the tragedy in Parkland, FL, there has been renewed interest in the components surrounding the mental health debate and what Congress is doing to appropriately address the issue. I will additionally be taking a look at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive's (ATF) previous action on the bump stock issue, as well as the recent action by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to issue a proposed rule that will ban bump stocks.
As always, thank you for subscribing to the Amodei Report. I look forward to continuing to keep you up to date on the issues you care about most.

I especially like this parent's reason for homeschooling his children:
The Douglases, who are devout evangelical Christians, disapprove of some of the lessons taught in public schools. For example, Steve does not want his children to take science classes that teach evolution as fact. "The thing I was most concerned with was teaching from a Christian perspective," Steve said. "We teach science from a creation standpoint. The theory of evolution is just a theory, and not a very good one."How can you teach science from a creation standpoint? While I agree that evolution is a theory, creationism doesn't even rise to the level of being a scientific theory. Don't get me wrong, I am a christian but I know creationism isn't science, it's faith. Which means it has no place in a science class. You may think evolution is not a very good theory but it's the prevailing one. So until it's debunked or another theory proven, it's the standard for science.
Anyway, the point is if you aren't part of the school, you aren't part of the school. You can't choose to be part of the football team but not show up in the classroom. Sure you pay taxes but since when did that become a mandate to subvert things? Our taxes foot the bill for the white house but unless your last name is Salahi, you can't exactly stroll in there anytime you like. Can you?
BTW, don't get me wrong. I am not against homeschooling. If you think you can do a better job, by all means go ahead. But just don't expect to get the benefits reserved for those in the school system. After all, the names on the front of the jerseys is usually the school's name.

How do you break that relationship bad habit? Ever find yourself
going back and forth with someone that you know you should move
on from? You find yourself
wasting tears and sadly sometimes even years on them and their
nonsense. How
do you break your self-destructive regimen? Why do we struggle
with letting go
of toxic relationships?
I am sitting here listening to Destiny Fulfilled thinking about
my bad habit. It takes me back to a situation where I was madly
in love so in love I forgot to love me. I kept making excuses as
to why I should keep him around when it was so
obvious I should have let him go. I was oblivious to the fact
that this man did not
have my best interest at heart. Yet I kept going back, back to
that place that told me I couldn't do bad by myself. I was just
too blind to see past all the pain he was causing me. It was this
sick magnetism I had to like moth to the fire. Constantly,
getting burned but I kept going back.
Finally, one night everything came to ahead and reality sunk in
it was time for him to leave my life. He has done so many
horrible things to me it was just a
culmination of madness that finally broke me. The cheating and
the fighting had all became too much to bear for the both of us
and I realized all too late I should
have shown him the door a long time ago.
There are signs that our mate is toxic and we choose to ignore
them. It is like
driving down a road and all these caution and yield signs appear
yet we still
proceed without caution go off the cliff and then wonder how we
got there.
Everyone has deal breakers acknowledge and respect yours. Do not
compromise them for anyone. Not even that man/woman you really
want to be with. If you stand for nothing you will fall for
There is a list of bad habits that a man exhibits that I will not
tolerate. I have a zero tolerance policy for nonsense. I refuse
to budge on these deal breakers. I know what happens when you
settle for such foolery. It is a mental list so I will not
divulge out loud what the habits for the crafty man will try to
cater to my needs and be careful not to exhibit these crimes of
passion. Compile a list ladies/gentleman of bad habits you will
not tolerate. Keep a mental rolodex because in this dating world
you are going to need it.

Transport will probably soon experience its biggest revolution since the beginning of the industrial age. Developments around thermal engines meet technological limits and fossil origin fuels are more and more disparaged due to their worth impact on environment, climatic evolution and air or noise pollution in the cities. Research is led in different ways from years on to purpose alternative energies to fossil fuel. Electricity driving and hydrogen fuel cells are promising solutions but are not largely commercialized yet. Furthermore, hydrogen fuel cells face several challenges which need to be overcome: reliability and life time, distribution network, public acceptance.
Mobypost aims at implementing hydrogen and fuel cell technology at a middle level, according to an environmental respectful strategy and including a significant experimentation which enable to proof the viability of the technology and initiate its commercialization in the field of market niches as material handling vehicles. Mobypost will develop the concept of electric vehicles powered by fuel cells using hydrogen produced locally by renewable energy means: solar panels installed on the roofs of the buildings. Mobypost will implement low pressure storage solutions for hydrogen over two fleets of five vehicles on two different sites for postal mail delivery. Development of the vehicles and the associated refueling stations will be realized considering all the certification processes required and taking into account public acceptance toward solutions that will be implemented.
The Mobypost consortium congregates a balanced group of competencies in vehicle's engineering and construction, hydrogen storage with low pressure solutions such as metal hydrides, photovoltaic power plants, hydrogen production systems, and finally monitoring and system control in order to achieve optimization of the entire chain.
Last but not least, Mobypost aims at transferring the project developed concepts to related business areas, fact that will ensure seizing the potential benefits offered by the hydrogen and fuel cells technology.

Skip work, Have Sex: Russia Celebrates 'Day of Conception'
By Population Growth Project | Russia is celebrating its eighth annual 'day of conception' as couples in the eastern region of Ulyanovsk are being advised to stay at home to procreate.
Governor of the region Sergey Morozov has urged bosses to allow men and women the 12th of September off work in order to try and reproduce.
In past years prizes have been awarded to couples who give birth in exactly nine months from the unofficial public holiday. In 2012 the winning pair were presented with a jeep, while in 2011 the award was a jeep.
The regional celebration is part of a gesture to increase Russia's struggling birth rate.
In 2006, during his televised State of the Nation address, President Vladimir Putin said the most urgent crisis facing Russia was its demographic crisis. At the time, the country's population was declining by at least 700,000 people a year.
Russia's demographic looks to have improved, though, with figures released by one of the country's demographic indicators showing its population consistently increasing from 2006 to 2012, and its external mortality rate dropping by 40% in the last decade.
Fertility campaigns have, however, remained on the Russian agenda despite apparent improvements in the country's demographic.
In January 2013 the Moscow Times reported that President Putin invited R&B group Boys II Men to perform in Moscow on the coming St. Valentine 's Day, in a bid to up the libido of Russian couples. The performance did not, ultimately, go ahead.
Meanwhile, Russia's recently passed anti-gay legislation continues to come under fire from the international sporting community ahead of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
US snowboarder Seth Wescott, a two-time Olympic gold-medal winner, is the latest to denounce the law signed by President Putin making it illegal to spread information about homosexuality to anyone under 18.
"The human rights stuff that's going on, there's a potential for it to be an incredibly negatively-overshadowed Olympics," he said.
Wescott said he had female friends in snowboarding who he believed should not be discriminated against during the games.
"They're wonderful human beings, and I think for them to be discriminated against is a crime," he said. "They should be able to be who they are and compete proudly. They represent our country incredibly well and they don't need to be the object of that kind of criticism and negativity."
The new Russian law prohibits the promotion of "nontraditional" sexual relations, imposing hefty fines on those found guilty and imprisoning non-nationals for up to 15 days.

A scientist has revealed he thinks people are addicted to social media due to the evolution of our brains.
According to Professor Bruce Hood, the amount of 'grey matter' in our brains has been steadily increasing over generations.
The award-winning American psychologist suggests in his latest book – Domesticated Brain – that the change happened because we need bigger brains to deal with more and more complex social situations.
He says that while our hunter-gatherer predecessors were geared up for a constant battle to survive, we no longer need to be, reports the Mirror.
Now we have evolved into 'natural gossips' who constantly need to engage with other people – and social media allows us to do this on a larger scale.
Professor Hood said:
The fact that many people have a compulsion to engage with lots of people via social media isn't really that surprising.
He also makes another very interesting point. You would think that the wider exposure to different views on social media would make people more open-minded.
However, the professor says that in fact what we see is something completely different:
What we see in reality of course is the opposite. People seem more likely to slot into niche groups of thought online than in real life.
In Domesticated Brain, he suggests that the human brain began to shrink around the time that we stopped being hunter-gatherers and began farming.
He says that as people settled into fixed communities, their brains relaxed and the idea of not needing to outwit everyone became stronger.
This in turn opened up more scope for higher thinking and marked the beginnings of a 'group intelligence' – when we started passing knowledge down through the generations.
So there you go – the more time you spend glued to social media, the more highly evolved you are, apparently.

Azure DevTest Labs solution is a nice one. During the past year or so, I have been working with it I noticed that the number of improvements added to DevTest is good. I wanted to bring your attention to a couple of new features in the platform – Multiple Instances Deployment and Shared IP.
Multiple Instances Deployment
The main purpose of DevTest Labs is to provide an autonomous environment for a user/s to work with. One of the main use-cases that I am seeing with customers is the ability to provide a full disposable dev environment to play with. Creating the VMs, deploy some artifacts and code, test it, commit and delete it.
Now, with multiple instances, you can now deploy multiple VMs (rather Azure Marketplace VMs or your own baseline image) in one shot. For me, this is pretty handy.
VM Shared IP
The Shared IP feature allows for DevTest VMs to be deployed with a Private IP but to be configured behind a NAT rule in order to allow SSH or RDP session to be established.
Basically, what will happen behind the scenes is that an Azure Load Balancer will be deployed. This will allow all the VMs (which now be a part of an Availability Set) to share the same public IP but to be reachable via inbound NAT rules.
Notice how there are both Backend and Frontend pools for allowing the NATing.
You will also notice that in the DevTest VM Overview screen, you can see this VM is behind a NAT rule.
To sums this up, two new cool features for you to leverage. One is good for automation scenarios and the other one to save some public IP address.

So, I've gotta tell you the truth…
I really like living with my parents.
Two years ago this wasn't true. It wasn't that I didn't like living with them. It was more so that I didn't like the location. But I also took living with them for granted, i.e. how easy life is when you live at home. I went to Chicago to live with my sister, and living in a place like Chicago with my sister changed all that. Sure, I'd still like to move back to Michigan. But I'd like to take my parents with me (they don't want to move somewhere cold and snowy like that, even though they do like Ann Arbor, where I used to live. True enough, older people don't move to Michigan from the South–other way around).
I'm now wondering why living with mom and dad as an adult is stigmatized, especially if you're single (if you're married, I do think a couple needs its own place). I know that people view it, especially with men, as a sign that someone can't take care of him/herself, lacks ambition, is unsuccessful and things along those lines.
Let me give you another perspective:
I've worked at my new job for almost exactly a month now. I've been spending money like crazy since I started this job (not all has been on myself–I have bought my mother so many things I can't even remember, including a $200 watch she wanted). I think it's a mental thing, just knowing that I make more money now–more than I actually need. I can afford to live on my own and still pay my student loans now. I absolutely do not want to move out. Admittedly, that I can spend money like crazy and still check my bank account and see a nice amount saved in it because I don't pay rent anywhere, don't have bills and that kind of thing? Very much keeping me at home. I will not be moving out any time soon, even though I can now take care of myself.
Am I successful? Well, you decide. I am now settled in one of the two fields I most wanted to be in, which is a field in which I have no educational background and no certificates when there are other people coming out of 4-year programs trying to break in and/or getting all these certs, hoping they'll help. I make good money for my job description and for where I live. And this is the case, having only worked in this field for about a year and a half. I work at one of the best companies in the area, where I have been told several times that I'm doing a good job. And I get all kinds of things as incentive to keep me where I'm working–a $50 gift card for Christmas, a new bag (which is really nice and something I actually needed), bonuses every six months, free lunches on random days by the company and being taken to lunches I don't have to pay for wherever I want to go every six weeks by the employment agency that placed me. Oh, and I can pretty much take off work whenever I want. I will still complain about work-related issues, but this other stuff? I don't know anyone else who has it this good, in terms of their career and the big picture.
Ambition? I've already told people that I don't want to have this job forever and likely don't even want to remain at the same company. I will be surprised if I am still doing the same thing two years from now, and I have a better job now than I had before and certainly couldn't have imagined having a job with this company a year ago.
So why will I continue living at home with my parents?
Um…I like my parents?
Living with my parents just works well for all three of us. We have a good relationship, and I think that's one big difference as to why a lot of people my age couldn't handle living with their parents. The only rules my parents have are things they know they don't need to articulate to someone like me. Schitt, my sister had way more ridiculous, restricting garbage rules going on at her house…and even more things that should be rules but just aren't with my parents (like doing housework).
Other people would feel as if living with their parents limits their freedom. Schitt, I don't do anything here, and I would hardly do anything if I lived by myself. I'm a sports addict. I come home from work and plop right down in front of the TV to watch games. I play a little music, some video games, eat and sleep. That's just me. Best part, though, is when I watch games, I usually have someone to watch games with. We spend Saturdays September through mid-January watching college football. We watch the NFL playoffs. We watch college basketball March Madness, and we watch Michigan play.
People want to get away from their parents. I follow my parents around, especially my mother. My mother is probably my best friend. We talk about all kinds of things. If I'm bored, I look for my mother. If I don't see her in the rooms she's normally hanging out in at home, I look for her. Sometimes my parents tell me to go away because I'm following them too much.
More reasons–and these are probably the biggest reasons why I don't understand people who aren't close to their parents or who seem to value friendship more…and, to a certain extent, why I don't understand people who put their boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse first…
My parents are retirement age, which means…although their mortality was always an eventuality, as it is with all of us, theirs seems far more near. I think about that a lot. My sisters are nowhere near as close to my parents as I am, and I know that's bad for me in the sense that I can see myself having far more difficulty with the passing of my parents in the end. I'm always with them, so it's going to be hard to not be with them. But somehow, thinking about the fact that I don't know how many more years I have with my parents makes me not want to leave home even more.
I studied philosophy in college–it was one of my minors. Just one of the "useless" fields to which I was attracted, along with English (minor) and psychology (major). Well, one of the "useless" things I learned while taking a hybrid philosophy/English class is the more you know the less happy you are. I have confirmed this throughout my life since learning of this idea in college. The downside to being an intelligent person is sometimes I know things I wish I didn't know. I fear that I have "figured out" that there is no greater, true-er, real-er, enduring love than what a parent has for his/her child–and that includes the love between a husband and wife (or wife and wife or husband and husband). I know it's not the same thing, but I still think that once my parents are gone no one earth can or will ever love me as much as they do. Besides, a lot of what matters most about love is the same thing. If you have good parents, you can say and do things that make them mad, sad, disappointed, let down–whatever–but there are just lines your parents would never cross, and they would never give up on you. But your spouse totally would. In fact, usually they do (more so with respect to crossing lines with what they say/do in response, but also–though less so–with giving up on you).
"Understanding" that is…not a good feeling/thought, especially when you think about how this can result in your ending up all alone. But it's also, to me, a reason why your parents should be on a pedestal–not some guy or girl you met out in the world who is physically attractive and meets a laundry list of stuff you like in a person. And certainly not your "friends." Most of my "friends" don't actually give two schitts about me (and I'm starting to sound like Lazy Tech now–he's all "how many fucks do you think I give? Zero!"), I don't think, and I can't at all say that about my parents. It's kind of funny how people will move out of their parents' house to share a place with someone who doesn't give a damn about them, at least it is to me. No thanks–I'd rather stay with my parents.
The funny thing, really, is I'm pretty sure I met someone who thinks a lot like I do about parents…and it partially kept us from having a relationship. I'm pretty sure she has that "parents before random hot person from the street" mentality. She probably thinks I hate her sometimes, but if there's absolutely anything I've never faulted her for and have always understood it's this. I'm not sure in how many situations I should ever have come before her parents, but knowing and liking each other for less than a year? In that case, the answer is never. So, I salute her for being one of the few people in the US who "gets" it…and, of course, she "gets" it because her family is not American, and…however offensive this may sound, I often think non-American families are just about the only ones that adequately value/honor parents and grandparents. People from non-American families are also the only ones who have ever really told me it's okay to live with mom and dad in your 30s.
So, I suppose I will move out someday, but I haven't the foggiest clue when that might be. I still miss Michigan, still think about living there again and still want to move back there. But wanting to move back there? The desire is not quite what it used to be.

Military Spouse Appreciation Day Confession
If I am being completely honest, I remember sitting there as the Rakkasans came marching in, home from their deployment to Afghanistan in 2002 with my 8 month old and 2 year old, waiting to see their daddy again with tears welling up in my eyes, both from pride and frustration. The community was cheering, the acting base commander was praising the soldiers, and all I can remember thinking was, "Where's my freakin' medal?". Maybe that's not cool to say out loud, but there it is. I was tired, I was over being anxious, and felt extremely underappreciated.
We're not too big on "made-up" holidays in my house. Even birthdays are not over the top. I don't expect flowers on our anniversary, Valentine's Day, or Sweetest Day. No big deal needs to be made over Mother's Day or my birthday. BUT, I do expect some kind of acknowledgement on Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and I make sure my husband knows this.
This MilSpouse gig is tough! I support my soldier. I have been a Family Readiness Group Leader, a volunteer at various organizational days, and a practical single parent while he is off doing his thing at war or in the field. I have done it because it is what we signed up for. I love him, I love my country, I love our family, and so does he.
It's been a long time since those days. I have learned to speak up, learned to take a break when I need it, and my husband has shown me over the years just how much my contributions to our family and his career have meant to him.
We've learned that sometimes it is just as important to spend some money as it is to save it. Whether it is a family vacation, a gift of appreciation, or dessert for dinner, a little fun spending can go a long way.
Where does your fun money go? How do you show your appreciation and affection for someone? Knowing which times and moments need acknowledgement are just as valuable as saving for a rainy day.

Making paints in shades used in England and America from the seventeenth century onward has been a growing industry both in this country and abroad. It has advanced in step with the technology for analyzing historical paint samples precisely. Several decades ago the reigning method of ascertaining the history of color on the walls of a historic house was by scraping the layers of paint to reveal the different shades and then mixing a matching paint "by eye." One of the most obvious problems with this method is to guess how the color sample has faded or otherwise changed over the years as it was exposed to light, fireplace and candle smoke, and other elements. To confuse matters more, when one coat is painted over another, the new layer can affect the color of the one underneath.
Today, that guessing game has been replaced by the use of scientific instruments that include a polarizing, or a scanning electron microscope and a spectrophotometer. In England most paints were mixed on the site to an architect's specifications, because, as Sir Roget Pratt noted in the mid-seventeenth century, "The colours for rooms ought not to be taken at random but be chosen according to the much or little light, or space of the places etc." But it is not just color that needs to be determined in order to replicate historical paints. Oil, water, distemper, and lead were all used as bases for paints in earlier times, and each of these created a different surface texture. The presence of these base ingredients can also be determined and re-created scientifically, with the exception of lead, which is now banned as a constituent of paint. What are known as common colors were made up of pigments derived from earth pigments, and these were much less expensive than tints derived from more costly materials. Aside from being more economical, they were often also more colorfast.
In 1960 Robert Baty established the firm Papers and Paints in London, which is now run by his son Patrick. The company offers a number of services for those who seek information about the paint in buildings dating between about 1650 and 1850. It has created a line of paints called the Traditional Colour Range that is based on three sources: a set of painter's sample cards dating from 1807, research by specialists, and early paint recipes using ingredients that correspond as much as possible with the originals. The Historical Colour Range is a line of 112 paints drawn from the 136 colors published in A Tint Book of Historical Colours issued in 1934 by Thomas Parsons and Sons. Paper and Paints also has a color matching service that will replicate a hue found in a paint flake, wallpaper, fabric, tile, or any other source, even if it is not already contained in their database of more than one hundred thousand colors.
The firm carries out paint analysis on historical buildings by taking samples of the paint from between forty and one hundred places in a room. The cross sections of the samples are analyzed, and the pigments are identified under a polarizing or scanning electron microscope. This can determine the age of a paint layer or finish such as grain painting or marbleizing by identifying the presence of various pigments whose date of introduction is known.
Papers and Paints has conducted paint analysis and supplied paints to hundreds of historic buildings in England and the United States. Among the more familiar of these are Kew Palace, the silver and British galleries at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Buckingham Palace, Sir John Soane's Museum. Somerset House, the Wallace Collection, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, and Tryon Palace. Baty also corresponded with the curator of the Warner House in Portsmouth. New Hampshire, about the smalt that was found in the parlor bed-chamber there, which was the subject of an article in The Magazine ANTIQUES in February 2005 issue. Paper and Paints may be contacted by telephone at 44-20-7352-8626 or online at www.colourman.com.
Images from above: The court room of the Foundling Museum, London, c. 1745. Following paint analysis, the room was painted using Olive Colour; A selection of paint cards; staircase in a London building, 1770s. A stone-colored paint scheme was recently re-created; Broughton House, Kirkcudbright, Scotland, mid-eighteenth century, showing its recently re-created 1911 color scheme.

London jewellery designer, Sheherazade Goldsmith, wearing Bella Freud at home: Credit The Telegraph.
I first saw this jumper around 2 years ago. It was being adorned by the likes of Kate and Alexa; and like my favourite fashion-people I'd also lusted after the monochrome version of the now infamous 1970 slogan jumper. Much to my family and mates'
disgust confusion dislike, we're big fans of the 1970's. Fans of the fashion, music and most predominantly, the design and (Mid Century) interiors of the era. So this jumper struck more than *just* sartorial chord with me. But then I saw a Telegraph article on (aptly named) jewellery designer Sheherazade Goldsmith, and she was wearing a red version of my favourite woollen piece. Be still my beating heart…
So from then, I lusted for the red colourway. The super-soft Merino Wool. The cut and design. The design itself takes its signature motif from a book clipping that Freud used to wear pinned onto a plain jumper.
I do have splashes of colour in my mostly-black wardrobe and I would tend to go for red or green, unless its a vintage or leopard print (or red or green variations of leopard print!) of course.
So the red 1970 Jumper by the lovely Bella Freud is firmly on my NEED list. More or less at the top.
If you so desire, you can own this seemingly cult classic by clicking the link here: Bella Freud at Selfridges.com
Which colourway would you go for?
About Bella Freud:
Freud was born in London, England. She is the daughter of Bernardine Coverley and artist Lucian Freud and great granddaughter of the inventor of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud.
She is renowned for her signature jumpers Je t'aime Jane, Ginsberg is God and 1970. Fans of Bella Freud include Alexa Chung, Laura Bailey, Kate Moss and Alison Mosshart.
Bella launched her eponymous label in 1990. Her first collection featured sexy knitted dresses in bookish colours, mini tailored suits and a small selection of shoes and bags. Bella went on to win Most Innovative Designer at the London Fashion Awards in 1991 and produced a Super 8 short film 'Day at the Races' as an alternative to a fashion show. Bella's second film 'More Clothes' directed by Kate Garner was shot on 35mm film and showcased the SS 1992 collection.
Seasonal catwalk shows followed, then in 1999 Bella began her fashion film collaboration with John Malkovich, co writing and producing three short films: Strap Hanging, Lady Behave, and Hideous Man. In 2001 Bella also collaborated with rock icon Anita Pallenberg on Memo, a limited edition magazine featuring the AW2000 collection, inspired by the film Performance.
From March 2000 to 2003 Bella consulted for British heritage brand Jaeger, rejuvenating their image and bringing British dressing to a younger audience.
Bella's love of film continued and in 2013 she art directed the short film Je T'Ecoute, produced by Laura Bailey starring Lara Stone, which screened at White Cube Bermondsey. Bella's directorial debut 'Girl Boils Egg' is a two minute film featuring Punk, commissioned by Nick Knight for SHOWstudio.com.
2013 also saw the development of the RTW collections and expansion into the beauty market. The Bella Freud Eau de Parfum collection was launched in 2014 and has gained a cult following.
What Eli Wore today >>>
Top: Dinosaur Tee, Next, £6. Click here to purchase online.
Bottoms: Navy Shorts (pack of 2), Next, £11. Click here to purchase online.
Head: Hat (pack of 2 hats), Next, £GIFT.
Today Mr Eli is 9 months old! He has officially now been out as long as he was in! Incredible. What a 9 months it has been. Completely full of up's and down's – and I wouldn't change it for the world. Mr Eli is just an amazing human being – such a character. Our beautiful darling boy xxx
To celebrate it being sunny, a bank holiday AND Eli's 9 month birthday, we headed to Southend for the day. Got to make the most of that sunshine! Eli
(with a little encouragement from us….) is a huge dinosaur fan. I'd been looking for some 'cool' dinosaur items of clothing for a while. But not really seen anything aside from realistic dinosaur graphics (which just look plain scary!) or overly-cartoonish style dinosaur graphics. But when I saw this tee from Next I practically POUNCED on it! It's a great looking tee – cool dino print on front and back with a little chest pocket. Lovely stuff. Also have to mention these shorts! Because Eli will probably be wearing them a lot over the summer! They're a 2-pack from Next, £11. Come in Navy and a Cargo-Brown colourway. They're extremely hardwaring, wash great, wicked quality and made using a heavy cotton so they can be dressed up (with a shirt) or dressed down, like today.
Next have some really good clothing this season for your little man. I tend to go for mini-Daddy style clothing, rather than cute kids clothing. So if you're after the same kind of thing, give Next a whirl. So so good. Great prices too!
What Eli Wore today>>>
'Ee' Alphabet t-shirt, American Apparel, £10.
Brown Harem Pants, Zara Kids – Part of set with cardigan, £GIFT.
Eli wore his brand new American Apparel Alphabet tee to the park last week; teamed with wicked knitted Harem Pants from Zara.
It was the first time it had been warm enough for short sleeves! And it was also the first time Eli played on swings and slides! He absolutely loved it – as you can tell.
I'd always been meaning to buy myself a 'Cc' tee from American Apparel… think I'm probably a little bit too old for it now. I'll stick to my
Carrie Claire necklace I think. But Eli looks wicked in his 'Ee' tee; of course all of the alphabet tee's are unisex too. LOVE it.
What Eli Wore today >>>
Today Eli is wearing an all-in-one Baby Ralph Lauren casual outfit.
I love how cosy this babygrow is. It's made of a lovely terry-toweling material, that gives it a smart-casual feel. Perfect for our outing to the estate agents this afternoon. The exact same details go into the Ralph Lauren baby clothes as you'd expect for the adult clothing. Ralph Lauren signature Pony embroided logo to the left chest and embossed pearlised button placket to the front. This baby grow also has a hood to the back, as well as popper fastening on the legs.
You can find Baby and Kids Ralph Lauren for your boys and girls at AlexandAlexa.com!
A little while ago I wrote this post >> Wonderful package from The Essential One. I'd received a lovely package from the lovely people at The Essential One; I was touched by the lovely thoughtful note and blown away by the incredible packaging. They really do go the extra mile with making sure their customers feel loved! And that scent…ahhh, the amazing packaging is even filled with their signature 'just washed baby' scent. SO GOOD. But more to the point, I was really impressed with the look and feel of the clothing.
After a quick first-time wash I added the bag of three babygro's to my hospital bag ready for Baby Eli's arrival. I always wash any new clothes before Eli wears them – it was great to see that the Essential One pieces washed so nicely. They came out of the wash so soft and snuggly! Unfortunately however, Eli was a little on the small side (much to EVERYONE's surprise!) so he didn't fit into the babygro's as a newborn 🙁
This week however, Eli now weighs 9lb 11oz and fits perfectly into them and I just had to share!
I'm a huge fan of independent businesses and would definitely encourage you to support The Essential One! Their clothing is just so scrummy and perfect for your baby or for gifts for your loved ones! Take a look TheEssentialOne.com
We've been invited to a wedding on Saturday 21st July… my due date is just 6 days after said-wedding. Whether we even make it to the 21st July without Baby Boy arriving is actually a bet in itself!
But this set aside, I thought I'd have a look at some Maternity 'Occasion' dresses anyway. I headed to all the usual Maternity stockists online and came to ASOS.com last, but by no means least. I was quite honestly shocked at the full range of smart to casual that they had on there! Wish I'd visited earlier in my pregnancy now!
Anyway, here are my favourites… These dresses all scream elegance, but also look really very comfortable. I'm sure you could also get away with most of them post-pregnancy too!
Pack of 3 essential Baby Grows from The Essential One. £18.
This week we received a wonderfully packaged parcel from the lovely people over at The Essential One. We've been looking in depth at what we need to include in our Hospital Bag (of which I should have had sorted this week, whoops!). One of the essentials that top's the list to include is of course New Born sleepsuits/baby grows, so we were over the moon when this set of 3 arrived! I cried when I open the outer packaging, how nice is the little note that came with it?! I was touched!
I firstly just want to point out the detail that The Essential One go to with their packaging… everything is beautifully wrapped in their signature tissue and stamped firmly closed with logo stickers. The one other thing you cannot mistake when opening their parcels is the incredible 'just washed baby' scent! Absolutely amazing! Our living room filled with this intoxicating just-out-of-the-bath scent, which has made us even more inpatient for our little babbit to arrive! We can't wait to recreate the smell for real.
So what was in the package then? A set of 3 incredibly soft and cute Baby Grows, that come in a self fabric drawstring bag! The extra bag is going to be so useful. I intend on using it with my changing bag, for additional clothing that we might need on a daily basis! Can't get over how luxuriously soft the cotton is on these sleepsuits – absolutely perfect for our new born son's skin. There's also poppers down each leg for ease of nappy changing.
You can purchase every Essential you'll need for your New Born (and upwards) from TheEssentialOne.com Once you've had a look, you'll be hooked! Of course, all of the essentials will also make really nice gifts for expecting parents too!
Actually cannot wait to use these sleepsuits – they're the first things we've got for our Hospital Bag (must must must sort this week!) so we're really excited:D Not long now!
I could not resist this tiny gingham shirt from Baby Gap the other day… OH has a very similar one from Ben Sherman. Albeit, OH, is more into his plain oxford shirts these days – but we won't tell anyone that ;o
OH and I both wear Converse too – so will definitely be getting our little one into them as soon as he needs them! 😀 He'll be wearing his with some titchy shirts and dungaree's however; old school.
Did you dress your little ones in similar clothing to you or your partner?

Hurricanes still focused on future instead of present – DeCock
Martin Necas may turn out to be a great player a few years down the road, so this isn't a reflection on him, but it still will be frustrating to fans – and coach Bill Peters – to see the Carolina Hurricanes use their first-round pick instead of finding a way to trade it for immediate help.
Maybe Ron Francis, always taking the long view, just couldn't bring himself to part with the 12th overall pick (albeit in what some scouts say is the weakest draft in more than 15 years) and has more moves up his sleeve before the draft is finished Saturday. But the Hurricanes didn't get an inch closer to making the playoffs Friday night and still have a lot of work to do to get there – and no longer have that first-round pick to dangle.
There aren't many players in any draft outside of the top few picks who appear ready to make the jump to the NHL, and this draft probably has even fewer. Necas certainly isn't one of them. He has a lot of positive attributes, but strength isn't one of them, not yet. What he needs, more than anything else, is time.
Unfortunately, the Hurricanes continue to ask their fans, in their owner's infamous words, to be "even more patient." To end the playoff drought that now stands at eight years, to close the gap on the rest of the Metropolitan Division, they still need at least one and probably two more top-six forwards. No matter how much the exciting young defense continues to improve and no matter how much of an upgrade Scott Darling offers in net, going into next season with the same group of forwards leaves no margin for error. Peters made that abundantly clear after the season.
Having given up a third-round pick for Darling and a second-round pick for defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk, Francis still has four of the next 42 picks Saturday.
At this point, it's less about getting fair value for those picks in a trade than it is getting any immediate value at all for them.
With Necas on board and a system that's increasingly well stocked with prospects, the Hurricanes don't need seven more players out of a weak draft. They need more NHL players, and they need them now. Draft weekend seems like the most likely time for that to happen, since in three-plus years as GM, Francis has made a single player-for-player, straight-up hockey deal: Anton Khudobin for James Wisniewski. (Who can forget that blockbuster?)
Players are moving. Derek Stepan. Jonathan Drouin. Artemi Panarin. Brandon Saad. Even if the Hurricanes didn't like those players or the prices, there are deals to be made.
Having gotten only one player – van Riemsdyk – out of an expansion process that Francis went into "open for business," in large part because Vegas general manager George McPhee put a mafioso lockdown on the trade market, the Hurricanes can't afford to get shut out at the draft as well.

EMC, Radio, Electrical Safety, and Environmental Simulation Testing for Commercial Vehicles
Motorbikes, lorries, agricultural machines, and other commercial vehicles are becoming increasingly complex in nature. As a result, it is more difficult to ensure reliable and safe operation of all the components, systems, and vehicles as a whole.
Moreover, OEMs must incorporate highly sophisticated devices such as control units, GPS and radar systems. They also frequently deploy state-of-the-art materials such as carbon fibre.
EMCC can provide expert assistance for commercial vehicle manufacturers and their component suppliers – if required, during the development process. Our offering includes end-to-end consulting, testing and certification services across multiple areas – EMC, environmental simulation, electrical safety, and radio.
Accredited consulting and testing to all automotive industry standards and directives – and
Our services cover the standards and specifications of:
BMW, Chrysler, Daimler, Fiat, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche, PSA Peugeot-Citroën, Renault, SAAB, Smart, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo, and many more.
As well as being EN ISO/IEC 17025-accredited, EMCC was the first European EMC testing laboratory to gain A2LA accreditation for automotive-industry applications. The organization has additionally secured OEM-specific EMC recognition. Ford and GM have also approved our labs for a variety of testing services.
Furthermore, EMCC was the first European test lab to be recognised by Jaguar Land Rover for EMC tests to their latest JLR-EMC-CS standard.
We also offer consulting and testing to international standards such as ISO, CISPR, SAE, and many others. For more information, see here.
EC type-approval for road vehicles (E1 mark)
The EC 661/2009 General Safety Regulation requires type-approval for road vehicles, their components and separate technical units. In Germany, EC type-approval marks are issued by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). The mark consists of the letter E and a number – indicating the country. Germany, for example, is 1.
The KBA has recognised EMCC as a category A and D service provider according to the 2007/46/EC directive. This enables us to perform tests to UNECE R10 standards. We offer our customers consulting, testing and modifications to resolve EMI issues in all road vehicles, components and retrofits.

French Roasted Rack of Lamb with Lemon Persillade Crust
Have I told you how much of a carnivore I was back when I lived in Paris? There wouldn't be a meal without meat or fish on my plate. One of my favorite dishes, and one that was a staple at my home as a child, was le carré d'agneau persillé, or persillade-crusted rack of lamb. We would have lamb at least twice a month and this was the preparation of choice.
What makes this dish so special is the slightly salted, green crust of persillade. The persillade crust is very versatile and can be used for eggplants, tomatoes or even roast cod. I love the flavor so much that after finishing off the lamb, I mop up whatever is left on my plate with a piece of baguette. A traditional persillade is made with flat-leaf parsley, but I fortify my version with cilantro. I think it gives the crust a little more punch.
It's very easy to make. Try it; you'll love it!
Yields: 6 servings3 racks of lambs, about 5 pounds total
3 slices fresh whole wheat bread (or white bread), diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
5 cloves garlic, finely minced and puréed
1 cup flat-leaf parsley, tightly packed and chopped
1 cup cilantro (with its stems), tightly packed and chopped
2 sprigs fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Meyer lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fleur de sel (or regular salt), finely ground
2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard
3 tablespoons butter, softened to room temperature
1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Rub half the amount of garlic purée on the lamb and season with kosher salt and pepper. Let the lamb rest at least 15 minutes before roasting to make sure it's back to room temperature.
For the lemon persillade crust, put the diced bread into a food processor and pulse several times. Add the rosemary and pulse until finely ground. Add cilantro, parsley, the remaining garlic, thyme and lemon zest. Pour the mixture into a bowl. Add the mustard and softened butter. Set aside.
Brush a roasting pan with a little oil. Place the racks of lamb, fat side up. Roast the meat for 10 minutes.
Cover with the persillade crust by pressing it against the meat using a spoon. Drizzle with a little oil. Return immediately to the oven and roast for another 15-17 minutes (or 18-19 minutes if you like it well done), depending on how pink you like your meat. It's important that you do not pierce the meat so it stays moist and tender.
Remove the pan from the oven. Transfer the lamb to a platter. Cover with a piece of aluminum foil. Let the meat sit for at least 10-20 minutes before slicing.
Slice the lamb, fanning each slice for a nice presentation and serve immediately.
Serve with a gratin dauphinois or any other potato dishes and some greens.
Bon appétit!
I know a lot of people don't like lamb because they think it has an unpleasant smell. The reality is, if you get really fresh, good quality lamb, it doesn't have an unpleasant smell at all. Greek, Middle-Eastern and Persian ethnic markets usually carry the best lamb because lamb is very common in those cultures.
It's important to use a fresh loaf of bread and not bread crumbs for the persillade crust because the final product will be much more moist.
Instead of serving boring plain mustard on the side, I always like to add a little moreflavor to the meat. You can serve a Béarnaise sauce (basically French tarragon, shallot and mustard), a green peppercorn truffle sauce, a Saigonese cinnamon balsamic reduction (brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, Saigonese cinnamon sticks and shallots) or even a wasabi-lime sauce.
I'm using the first harvest of Meyer lemons from our garden. The zest is very fragrant. If you don't have Meyer lemons, you can use any other citrus zest.
I use cilantro stems also, because that's where the flavor is the most potent.
The roasting time depends on how pink you like the lamb. If you' want to be absolutely sure, just place a temperature probe in one of the racks, and remove the lamb from the oven when the thermometer registers 130°F.
Wrap the ends of the bones with aluminum foil to prevent them from burning so you'll have a nice, clean presentation.
Make sure to let the lamb rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing it to ensure an optimum tenderness of the meat. To carve the rack of lamb, place it on a cutting board with the bones facing you. You can use the bones as a guide to where to cut and separate the chops.
Count about 3 to 4 lamb chops per person.
