"These shoes are a waste of money. They fell apart the second time I wore them. Not only is the sole coming apart, the cork is peeling off the wedge, and the elastic in the heel is stretched out beyond use."

They Fell APART!
"Do not buy this wedge. 2 months in, the sole completely ripped apart from shoe. It's too bad, because these shoes were very comfy and I liked them. They are very cheaply made, which I assume is reflected in price."

Loved - but fell apart.....
"Great shoe. Super cute and comfortable for a wedge. However, these shoes literally just fell apart as I was walking back from lunch. I've only worn them a few times, and the entire heel separated from the top of the shoe. What a disappointment....Would not purchase again."

Public hearing for new town homes on Radio Island put on hold
BEAUFORT, CARTERET COUNTY - Plans for a new town home development on Radio Island are in the works. A public hearing at Tuesday's Morehead city town council meeting about the project has been postponed. This came after officials and the home owners association of the condos next door to the development site met.
Olde Town Yacht Club is in the same gated area as the undeveloped site. Crystal Holdings LLC, a company under Doug Brady and Jim Bailey, are developing the plans for the project. They also developed Olde Town Yacht Club but under a different name, Oceanside Yacht Club Development Inc.
The current plan includes about 67 new town homes, and an extension of Moore Creek for wet slips to dock boats.
In order to build this proposed plan, developers need to create at least 211 parking spaces. To provide the amount of parking necessary, current plans would remove grassy areas and some parking lots from Olde Towne Yacht Club.
Olde Towne Yacht Club declined to make any comment at this time about the project.
Brady said he understands the concerns coming from residents at Olde Towne Yacht Club. He said some changes to the current plan are in the works, and he hopes to reach a compromise.
Planning and Inspections Department Director, Linda Staab said details for a revised plan could be completed as early as the next town council meeting.

El Segundo, Calif. - And now the Dwight Howard waiting game begins for the Los Angeles Lakers.
After a season in which their collection of future Hall of Famers flamed out in spectacular fashion with a first-round playoff series sweep by the San Antonio Spurs, the Lakers will be forced to put their plans on hold while Howard contemplates his free agency future. As reported by USA TODAY Sports in mid-April, there are strong signs that he will be back. He won't be a free agent until July 1 but could express his intentions before then.
"I'm just going to get away," he said Tuesday at the team's practice facility. "Making a decision like this, you don't want to make it off emotions. You don't want to make it off what other people are saying, and that's why I think that it's very key for me to get away."
KOBE SPEAKS OUT: Bryant wants team to stay intact
PAU GASOL: Realizes he could be a casualty
For all the talk of a divide between Howard and Kobe Bryant, their relationship improved in the season's second half, and the longtime Lakers star strongly endorsed the notion that the big man needed to return.
"I think (Howard) is very important (to the future)," Bryant said. "It's really just a matter of what he feels in his heart he wants to do. He's kind of reached kind of a crossroads of his career, and I think Los Angeles is the perfect spot for him to assert himself, to kind of put his foot down and have his career really take off and be what it should be."
But while general manager Mitch Kupchak has told Howard the Lakers won't pressure him to make a decision before he's ready, he made it clear there should be a sense of urgency here.
"I think he understands that the sooner he makes a decision, the better it is for everybody," Kupchak said. "I don't know if that means a week, a month.
"It allows him to start putting down roots in the city. People can no longer say, 'I wonder what he's going to do. Is he going to be gone?' He can establish business relationships, foundation, community, charity relationships in the city. So it goes without saying that the sooner, the better."
LOPRESTI: Lakers are a mess in progress
Kupchak is confident Howard will return.
"I think he has complete faith in the organization," he said. "I think he does like living here. I think it's all good, which leads into why I'm optimistic."
Bryant, for what it's worth, is also expecting Howard to return.
"I would think so (that he'll be back)," Bryant said. "We all pride ourselves on being businessmen to a certain extent, (and) I think just from a business standpoint, that (staying with the Lakers) makes more sense, both contractually and also perception-wise. This an incredible market. It's a great place. A lot of things go well for you when you win here. I think you've got to put all that into a pot."
The financial factor is a major factor here, as Howard's maximum extension with the Lakers would be for five years and $117.9 million while all other teams only could give him a four-year, $87.8 million contract. But after being traded from Orlando to the Lakers last summer, then coming back too early from his April 2011 back surgery and being limited him for so much of the season, Howard will take some time before finally deciding his fate.
A key factor, it seems, is how he views the larger-than-life experience of being with the Lakers.
"Some days it's good," he said of Laker Land. "When I have good game. Some days, it's not so good. But like Mitch says, and he said it again today, it's the best place to be when you win, and when you're losing, it's not so good. L.A. loves their Lakers.
"It's something you really can't understand until you experience it. From the outside looking in, it seemed simple"
As he said so many times, he simply wants to be happy. And this, make no mistake, was hardly a joyous season.
"No, I'm not happy that we're sitting at home (in the playoffs)," Howard said. "I'm not happy that we got swept. I'm not happy that it wasn't the season that we all expected. But things like this happen in life. You have those bad moments. You have bad years, but we survived and I think the future will be a lot better for me individually. So I'm looking forward to that."

My name is Pat Behling and I am the owner of Pat's Sew N' Stuff in Ferron. I loved to sew and hated it when I ran out of supplies in the middle of a project. That was 17 years ago in the spring of 1988. I wasn't able to buy a spool of thread or anything else in Ferron, in the way of sewing supplies. That is when the idea to open a fabric shop started to form in my mind.
I opened Pat's Sew N' Stuff on July 1 that year. I started out very small and have put everything back into the business since that time. I have truly enjoyed learning how to run a business, but the thing I have loved the most is meeting all of the wonderful people who have supported me during these years. I truly enjoy meeting new people and I love trying to help everyone with their projects.
I appreciate the many people who have helped who have helped me through the years. The venders I have worked with have been a tremendous help to me. My employees have also been a great help to me, especially Nellie Smith. She has been there to help me out when I haven't been able to work because of illness or family emergencies. My husband has been especially supportive of me; and since he has retired he accompanies me to market to buy for the store. We have had a lot of good times on these trips.
I enjoy bringing a needed service to Ferron and Emery County. I hope that the business will be able to continue to serve the communities as I get ready to retire in the near future.

This update to the 101 lightweight trail racer gets low (4mm heel-to-toe drop) and goes to a natural running last for more forefoot room.
Every now and then there's a shoe that has our staffers tossing and turning at nights, waiting in anticipation. We know the signs. The open catalogs on their desks. The methodical checking of blogs and chat rooms for product updates. The tents in front of our receiving dock.
The New Balance WT110 is one of those shoes. Every trail runner in the building was drooling over this shoe. So when we got our first shipment, it took about 16 nanoseconds for the first pair to be out of their box and on someone's feet.
Turns out, the anticipation was totally warranted. New Balance nailed almost every technical aspect of this shoe. We couldn't find one tester who was unimpressed with the fit and construction of the upper. It reminds you it's there just enough without getting in the way. Of course, for the heel strikers on staff, this shoe would take some getting used to on the trails, but midfoot strikers felt right at home right away, with a smooth transition free of the "slap" on ground contact that can occur in a less well-designed shoe.
The MT110 is actually one of the most versatile trail shoes on the road that I've seen. I was impressed by the comfort and stability of this shoe on the road and trail. The cushiony lugs provide a nice level of protection. I rarely go sockless, but without socks in the MT110 I didn't feel a single hotspot.
I really like the fit of the upper. No complaints there. And the midsole seems plenty flexible, but it feels a little too built up on the outside edge of the forefoot. Probably something I would get used to after a few longer runs.
New Balance stamped the phrase 'Keep Up' in the outsole. It's kinda corny, and anyone behind you would have to be crawling on their hands and knees to see the words on your footprint, but it's also a fun little detail that tells you the designers put some thought into every aspect of this shoe.

It all begins with a lineup: a roll call of story ideas that we "line up" for each of our six issues per year. We make some final decisions on what our stories will be, we have each piece written, the text comes in, and it's distributed to myself and Heather Marcus, our photo editor. Then, we begin.
A lot of stuff happens in between, but no need to get specific — you get the idea. We generally work a year in advance, to capture fresh imagery in each season. We know how much our readers love all the seasons New England offers (even the cold, damp, muddy, and just plain miserable ones). We cast a wide net, sending our best shooters out into the region to capture the mood and tone of each story. We do as much planning as possible ahead of time to see which story will offer the most promising cover possibilities. But because we often run into certain obstacles and other conditions out of our control (Mother Nature especially), capturing the essence of the landscape, steeped in New England charm, on the right day, with a perfect blue sky and a fresh sense of the season is a challenge. Then throw into the mix the idea of finding one image that's idyllic, cover-worthy, an image that's fresh and hasn't been seen a hundred times before — one that's graphically "clean" and arresting, one that can hold cover lines effortlessly and really "pop" on the newsstand. It's like finding a needle in a haystack.
And just when we think we've got it right and found our image, well, then the human equation is factored in. Often we can't agree on what the best cover should be. Enter the cover committee: a staff group that includes Yankee's newsstand adviser plus our president, our vice president of marketing, our editor, our managing editor, photo editor Heather Marcus, and myself. We all have our opinions on what we think makes a good cover image, and we all have our own preferences, interests, and tastes. (What I consider "pretty" may not be what someone else thinks is pretty, and so on.) And, let's face it, an image can evoke emotions and feelings within each of us in a positive or a negative way based on our own individual experiences.
We all realize the importance of the cover, and we all feel strong in our convictions from our varying perspectives. But we also agree that we have one common goal, that the face of our publication has to serve many needs and belongs to no one individual or department. Really, it belongs to you, our readers.
So we bring in another factor, the opinions of people we don't really know: an audience survey. Before I started here in 2007, Yankee began polling its readers to test potential magazine cover images against one another to see whether any strong preferences emerged — a process that is, as I understand it, more commonplace now more than ever amongst other publishing companies. Our readers' opinions would later help us decide which cover image was most likely to sell well on the newsstand. A questionnaire goes out to a random group of volunteer newsstand buyers and subscribers willing to participate. The covers that score the highest positive ratings get our attention. It's one more variable in our process.
For each issue, I may design anywhere from 15 to 30 cover options — a few too many, perhaps, but it's hard to predict what will resonate and what will stick. We whittle down the possibilities to 4 to 6 of the strongest contenders. Those covers go into the survey, and approximately 200 to 300 voices are heard — your voices. Good or bad, we hear you. (It took me a while to realize that I was better off not reading the comments offered by some of our more vocal readers. Not to sound snarky, but everyone's got an opinion and they don't mind sharing it — and everyone thinks he or she is right. And, let's face it, so do I.)
Ultimately, my job is to present the strongest options I have for each issue, coordinate with the committee on what they think we should see, and let the process play out through its many stages. Often some of my favorite images get left on the cutting-room floor. But it's not about me, I tell my delicate little ego; it's about you, our readers. And there are a lot of times when I disagree with the outcome of these tests. But I'm just a small part of the big picture and have resolved to learn to accept the process and go with the flow. My job is to dress her up, fluff her hair, powder her nose, put her in some heels, and send her down the runway.
I continue to offer ideas that are evolved and outside the box, push the envelope some but not too far. I often look back at Yankee's past covers to draw inspiration. I love looking through all of the incredibly elaborate, thoughtfully crafted, illustrative, conceptual, and whimsical works of art that graced the face of Yankee's past. Some of my favorites are the concept driven covers created by J. Porter and the likes of fine artists such as David Brega and Erick Ingraham. I celebrate and recognize that the sign of a truly skilled art director is seeing the big picture, creating those little details, the ones that the reader isn't even aware of yet somehow subliminally gets, those clever little nuances and strokes of genius in its design.
Every magazine evolves over time. I sometimes push to revisit the flavor of those old Yankee covers and have us consider creating a finely crafted, illustrative cover for today's readers — one that readers will cherish, maybe even frame and hang in a special place for remembrance and safekeeping — those editions like the ones that my grandmother proudly collected and displayed on her coffee table to show off to all of her friends. It's a creative process that doesn't end with one issue, but keeps evolving, too, just as I have since I stepped through the doors here at Yankee.

COPS Office Grantee Takes Innovative Approach to Using Synergistic Technology Systems
The East Orange Police Department (EOPD) maintains and continues to expand its technological advancements that have helped achieve historic gains in public safety, while also enhancing efficiency and responsiveness. While many law enforcement agencies across the United States have implemented various technologies, East Orange, New Jersey, has attracted the interest of both local and international public safety partners as a model for best practices in technology implementation. What is the key difference in their efforts? Quite simply, as stated by Police Chief Ronald Borgo, "full integration."
The East Orange Police Department's Community Safety Information Grid (CSIG) is a powerful series of interconnected situational awareness, resource synchronization, and force multiplier technologies that help prevent crime and acts of terrorism and reduce the rate of criminal offending. A key feature of CSIG is that it is a reconfigurable and scalable platform that integrates police information and force multiplier technology to enhance the quality of actionable intelligence and speed law enforcement coordination and response. As a result, police are able to quickly synchronize and maximize their already scarce resources.
A component of the CSIG is the Law Enforcement Electronic Dashboard (LEED), a three dimensional paperless public safety monitoring and crime management system that provides summary, multidimensional, and detailed layers of actionable information. LEED provides the department with updated information about criminal activity every 30 seconds. The CSIG encompasses a variety of other important tools including an Automated Pattern Finder, Predictive Analytics, Tactical Automated Vehicle Locator (TAC AVL), Wireless In-Car Reporting, IP-Based Surveillance Cameras, a Gunshot Detection System, License Plate Recognition, and Smart Sensors. Some of these technology systems are very familiar to current standard operating procedure for law enforcement, while others are more innovative and customized. Together, these systems synergistically help to provide a 360-degree real-time crime prevention solution, ranging from problem identification and assessment to response. The key elements are real-time data and systems integration. "This approach is unique in that its technology components and systems integration improve and streamline proven crime-fighting strategies that have produced 6 consecutive years of crime reductions and driven overall serious crime down 76 percent in East Orange."1
The CSIG is operated out of the Real-Time Crime Prevention Center (RT-CPC). This center is staffed 24 hours per day and its primary mission is to prevent crime and enhance public safety. By converting raw information from multiple sources into actionable intelligence in real time, the RT-CPC provides police departments, for the first time, with the ability to identify and defuse threats to public safety before they occur. The ability to sense and prevent potential crimes has raised the bar over the traditions of post criminal trend and root cause analyses.
The CSIG adds operational value by enabling the EOPD to forecast a variety of scenarios and opportunities to deter future criminal activity and to take real-time action when required. For example, within minutes of a reported criminal incident, patrol officers wirelessly transmit incident information to the records management system from the field. The crime dashboard then scans each reported incident and automatically identifies and warns of criminal anomalies, trends or spikes in overall or specific crimes. An integrated automated pattern identification and correlation system qualifies criminal incident data by identifying and associating similarities. Identified correlative pattern data is then analyzed by a statistical profiler/predictive analysis system to help predict the area and time of where the next criminal incident is most likely to occur. System features enable electronic formulation and transmission of corresponding crime prevention and incident mitigation plans to police patrols, virtual patrollers, and image sensory agents to prevent, not just react to criminal activity and other hazards. Finally, police response plans can be electronically monitored and modified in real time.
Force multiplier technologies complement the CSIG automated intelligence cycle. Virtual directed patrols can be executed at police headquarters or from within patrol cars through IP-Based Surveillance cameras. Smart sensors are the newest addition to the arsenal of technologies in use by EOPD. Purchased with funds from a COPS grant, these high- definition cameras are embedded with a computer chip that intelligently analyses images in real time. These sensors are programmed to monitor and warn officers of common and specific behaviors that may constitute criminal incidents, as customized by the EOPD, before they unfold. "The integration of smart sensors with conventional police surveillance cameras allows for the formulation of a virtual surveillance ring around an incident location."
Sensory and virtual patrol detections of potentially unfolding criminal activity provide a small window of opportunity for police intervention. To change the dynamics of an emergent situation and to shape outcomes, smart sensors were integrated with conventional surveillance cameras, TAC AVL, and CAD systems to produce a historic breakthrough in reducing police emergency dispatch and response times. The innovative automated Alarm-Based Automated Emergency Dispatch (ABAD) sequence begins with a smart image sensor alert. Operators view streaming video of sensor detections and determine if events warrant an ABAD response (usually crimes in progress or about to occur). Upon activation of ABAD, smart sensors transmit coordinates of the occurrence to the TAC AVL and synchronize conventional surveillance cameras to form a virtual surveillance ring around the incident location. TAC AVL transmits the locations of available police units nearest to the incident to the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. CAD electronically transmits emergency dispatch instructions to the closest available police units. The entire automated dispatch sequence takes about 1 second to complete, as compared with EOPD's average time of about 2 minutes, 29 seconds.
By using GPS technology to locate the actual closest police units to emergency situations, instead of geographical area of assignment, ABAD significantly reduces emergency police response times. The ABAD framework is currently being implemented for selected 911 calls to reduce emergency police response times to critical incidents.
Digisensory, an international partner that has worked very closely with the East Orange Police Department, is the leading provider of smart sensor technology. This Australian- based company has successfully partnered with American law enforcement to customize a product that is innovative, imaginative, and is changing law enforcement customers' expectations of what this product can deliver. The success of this partnership has made EOPD a leader in its' effective use of law enforcement technologies. Their concept has garnered interest from many global partners in their response to public safety. EOPD recently has been engaged in meetings with Brazilian officials to discuss the development of a system that they could use to respond to some of the challenges they will face during the upcoming World Cup series. During these discussions, technology-enabled operational plans and strategies were shared, and the officials were amazed at the impact technology integration and real-time intelligence have made in the city of East Orange. As a result of these meetings, the CSIG model has been identified as a best practice to be used during the Summer Olympics. For an exciting blog entry on this system, please visit digisensory.blogspot.com/2010/03/customer-driven-focus.html.
The CSIG's transformative business model has far-reaching implications; it presents a futuristic policing framework with an extraordinarily high return on investment in terms of both public safety and economic value—in this case delivering crime reductions at a rate roughly 12 times the national average, reducing crime-related economic losses by tens of millions of dollars, and increasing productivity and efficiency.
The East Orange Police Department held its unveiling ceremony of this system in March. Neighboring jurisdictions and law enforcement agencies across the state and country have expressed interest in acquiring smart sensor cameras and other systems as a result of the success of the Community Safety Information Grid.

Is there going to be a new forum skin?
Is there going to be a new forum skin?
I'm a Manga/Anime lover.
I asked Bludshock and woofcat this and the reply i got was that we should focus on establishing a community first, personally i agree with this but knowing them one of them will get bored and tinker with the styles til they create a new skin
We've already got a community, Thousands of people get manga from BS, and so they will all likely register here.
True they will stop by but of them only a percentage will sign up and of that only a percentage will use regularly we need a decent one of the later in order to justify doing work like lots of skins
Ive recruited one friend 0-0

uhmmm i have a question... how do you put a picture in your signature like the others have done? i tried to upload a sigpic but it doesn't show.... oculd you tell me?
FUck this! winter is about to start!!!!
member of fairy tail fan club!
What is the link to the picture you want to upload? The tag for images is [img*] ____ [/img*]
Remove the asterisks, and in the blank spot, the "____", you put in the url that directly links to the image.
thanks! but i saw some code things down the page and i just followed it... thanks anyway!!!!

Gallery 4:
Floods, bushfires and shipwrecks show the immediate experience of disaster. The intensity and power of nature emphasises the puny efforts of humanity. Here we can see how notions of the Romantic Sublime persist into the second half of the century. Turner's increasingly abstract paintings, investigating transient manifestations of light and water, seem surprisingly modern. These aspects of his work were much admired by later artists, including the Impressionists. Von Guérard recorded himself as a witness to the drama of bushfire, while Jenner's grand history tableau of the doomed Franklin expedition of 1845, Cape Chudleigh, Coast of Labrador, was produced five decades after the fact. The quintessentially Australian light of Streeton's masterly 'Fire's on' masks the horror of the industrial accident below.
A salient feature of the artists of the Barbizon School is their realism. Two of Courbet's best known motifs, grottoes and waves, are rendered in thick paint applied with a palette knife. The impact of plein air painting is particularly important. Corot's oil sketches, especially those produced in the clear light of Italy, are unexpected in their simplicity. His freshness and observational accuracy exhibits the immediacy associated with Impressionism. Rousseau and Daubigny likewise record the effect of light on trees and water. Daubigny painted French river scenes repeatedly, his innovation being to paint light on the Seine from the vantage point of his studio-boat. For their travels in Europe, the painters of the Heidelberg School absorbed aspects of this new way of looking. Back in Australia, they experimented with a range of short, broken brushstrokes to capture the fleeting nature of the moment.

Short-Run Bond Risk Premia

AFA 2013 San Diego Meetings Paper
In the short-run, bond risk premia exhibit pronounced spikes around major economic and financial crises. In contrast, long-term bond risk premia feature cyclical swings. We empirically examine the predictability of the market variance risk premium – a proxy of economic uncertainty – for bond risk premia and we show the strong predictive power for the one month horizon that almost entirely disappears for horizons above one year. The variance risk premium is largely orthogonal to well-established bond return predictors – forward rates, jumps, yield curve factors, and macro variables. We rationalize our empirical findings in an equilibrium model of uncertainty about consumption and inflation which is coupled with recursive preferences. We show that the model can quantitatively explain the levels of bond and variance risk premia as well as the predictive power of the variance risk premium while jointly matching salient features of other asset prices.

From Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia
As it is for many people today, Christmas[1] was for Jefferson a time for family and friends and for celebrations, or in Jefferson's word, "merriment." In 1762, he described Christmas as "The day of greatest mirth and jollity." Although no documents exist to tell us how, or if, Jefferson decorated his Monticello for the holidays, Jefferson noted the festive scene created by his grandchildren. On Christmas Day 1809, he said of eight-year-old grandson Francis Wayles Eppes (shown at right): "He is at this moment running about with his cousins bawling out 'a merry christmas' 'a christmas gift &c . . . .'"
During Jefferson's time, holiday celebrations were much more modest than those we know today. Socializing and special food would have been the focal points of the winter celebrations rather than decorations or lavish gifts. The customs that we think of today as traditional ways of celebrating Christmas, particularly the decorating of evergreen trees and the hanging of stockings, derived from a variety of national traditions and evolved through the course of the 19th century, only becoming widespread in the 1890s.[2]
References indicate that at Monticello, as throughout Virginia, mince pie — filled with apples, raisins, beef suet, and spices — was a traditional holiday dinner favorite. Jefferson wrote to Mary Walker Lewis on December 25, 1813: "I will take the liberty of sending for some barrels of apples, and if a basket of them can now be sent by the bearer they will be acceptable as accomodated to the season of mince pies." Music also filled the scene. The Monticello music library included the Christmas favorite "Adeste Fideles."[3]
For African-Americans at Monticello, the holiday season represented a time between - a few days when the winter work halted and mirth became the order of the day. The Christmas season came to represent hours when families reunited through visits and when normal routines were set aside. In 1808, Davy Hern traveled all the way to Washington where his wife Fanny worked at the President's House to be with her for the holidays. Two days before the Christmas of 1813, Bedford Davy, Bartlet, Nace, and Eve set out for Poplar Forest to visit relatives and friends.
During the holidays, women adorned tables with wild game. Freshly slaughtered meats supplemented the usual rations of pork and cornmeal. Gills of molasses sweetened holiday fare and music lifted spirits not fatigued by a harvest but by another full cycle of work in the fields, shops, and living quarters of Monticello.
Enslaved people frequently recalled that Christmas was the only holiday they knew. Many cherished memories of gathering apples and nuts, burning Yule logs, and receiving special tokens of food and clothing.
Christmas in the Enslaved Community (Documentary References)[4]
1790 December. "To 2 1/2 Gallons Whiskey at Christmass for the Negroes." (Nicholas Lewis, Monticello steward, accounts in Ledger 1767-1770)
1797 December 2. "Tell Mr. Eppes that I have orders for a sufficient force to begin and finish his house during the winter after the Christmas holidays; so that his people may come safely after New year's day." (Jefferson to Maria J. Eppes)
1808 November 17.' "Davy Has Petitioned for leave to come to see his wife at Christmass." (Edmund Bacon, Monticello overseer, to Thomas Jefferson - University of Virginia)
1808 November 22. "I approve of your permitting Davy to come [to Washington] at Christmas." (Jefferson to Edmund Bacon - Massachusetts Historical Society)
1810 August 17. "I agreed to take them [hired slaves] at that price and they were to come to me after the Christmas Hollidays when their time with him was out." (Jefferson to W. Chamberlayne, Farm Book 30?)
1813 December 24. "We shall begin to send [flour] from hence immediately after the Christmas holidays." (Jefferson to Patrick Gibson, Library of Congress)
1814 December 23. Davy, Bartlet, Nace and Eve set out this morning for Poplar Forest. Let them start on their return with the hogs the day after your holidays end, which I suppose will be on Wednesday night [Dec. 28], so that they may set out Thursday morning." (Jefferson to Jeremiah Goodman, overseer, GB 535)
1818 December 24. "Your two boys Dick and Moses arrived here on Monday night last [Dec. 21]. Both on horse back without a pass, but said they had your permission to visit their friends here this Xmass." (Joel Yancey, Poplar Forest, to Jefferson - Massachusetts Historical Society)
1819 January 1. "The old mode of keeping Christmas seems to be going tenerally out of fashion. It has changed very much since my recollection. Formerly all classes of society kept it as a kind of feast. It is now merely kept by labouring people. All other classes of society resume their accustomed occupations, after Christmas day. Perhaps no period for mirth and relaxation can with greater propriety be chosen by have ceased and before commencing the new year they devote to mirth and relaxation a few days at the close of the year." (John Wayles Eppes to Francis Wayles Eppes - Duke University)
1821 December 27. "This Christmas has passed away hitherto as quietly as I wished and a great deal more so than I expected. I have not had a single application to write passes or done or seen any of the little disagreeable business that we generally have to do and except catching the sound of a fiddle yesterday on my way to the smokehouse and getting a glimpse of the fiddler as he stood with half closed eyes and head thrown back with one foot keeping time to his own scraping in the midst of a circle of attentive and admiring auditors I have not seen or heard any thing like Christmas gambols and what is yet more extraordinary have not ordered the death of a single turkey or helped to do execution on a solitary mince pie wo you see you lost nothing by being on the road this week." (Mary Jefferson Randolph to Virginia Jefferson Randolph, University of North Carolina)

The insole's got some padding so my arches dont ache but just slightly uncomfortable around the toe region and my heel kept on sliding out of the shoe with every step which was annoying.

Your baby's body is more active than most adult bodies. Not only does your baby's body need to support basic life functions, but it is still going through rapid growth and development. Organs like the brain, heart and lungs are changing in ways that will affect the rest of your baby's life. So it is important for your baby to get the things they need for healthy development. One of the most important things is oxygen.
The lungs pull oxygen from the air and into the blood. With healthy lungs and clear air, we can take in a lot of oxygen with every breath. But when the lungs are infected or damaged or the air is contaminated, the amount of oxygen available is limited. Secondhand smoke is one of the worst culprits for bad air and damaged lungs.
Secondhand smoke is a combination of smoke exhaled from a smoker and the smoke from a burning tip of a cigarette, cigar, or pipe. It is made up hundreds of hazardous chemicals. These chemicals irritate the lining of the lungs, cause damage to tissue, and alter lung functions.
Secondhand smoke is harmful for everybody, but is more destructive on the developing lungs and body of a baby. Also, babies inhale more smoke because they breathe at faster rates than adults. As adults we are able to move away if the air is irritating. Babies of course, are not able to move away from smoky areas on their own.
Even small amounts of secondhand smoke can hamper breathing by affecting different parts of your baby's lungs:
For babies that already have lung problems, these effects can be even more dramatic. This can include babies recovering from previous infections or premature babies with underdeveloped lungs. Secondhand smoke has also been linked to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and a higher chance of ear infections.
When your baby's lungs are affected by secondhand smoke, it can put your baby at a higher risk for:
If your baby has asthma, secondhand smoke will increase the number and severity of asthma attacks. Exposure to secondhand smoke is linked to nearly half of childhood asthma cases.
Babies who are sick more often have additional doctor visits and possibly, hospitalizations. Repeated or severe illnesses can also lead to scarring in the lungs. For babies, the scarring can slow or halt lung development. Lung damage can also cause extra stress and damage to the heart.
The chemicals in secondhand smoke are so tiny that they cannot be effectively cleaned out with filters. These chemicals easily travel through a house helped by fans, ventilation, heat systems, and air conditioning. And opening a window does very little to decrease the amount of smoke exposure. So how can you make sure that secondhand smoke does not harm your baby?
Take it Outside
The only way to effectively reduce your baby's exposure to secondhand smoke is to completely eliminate smoking inside the house and car. Choose a designated area to smoke that is not in your house. Once you have chosen one, try to stick to it when you smoke—even in poor weather. It is just as important to prevent visitors from smoking in your home. Most will understand your concerns about your baby's health. If your visitors want to smoke, kindly ask that they do so in a designated smoking area. Another idea is to meet them somewhere other than your house.
It is also important to note that smoke and particles settle on hair and clothing. Holding young babies immediately after smoking increases the risks of secondhand smoke exposure, even after smoking outdoors. Although quitting is the ideal solution, changing clothing after smoking outdoors may help decrease exposure.
The car is a very small, contained space. Smoking in the car can cause a high level of exposure for your baby, even if you only smoke in the car when your baby is not there. Again, open windows do not effectively reduce smoke exposure. In many cases it simply blows the smoke (and sometimes ashes) back to the baby. If you must smoke while in a car, then have a plan. For example, on long trips plan safe areas where you can stop to smoke outside of the car. Keep in mind that smoke and particles settle in the car and can remain in the air even if you are not smoking.
Also make sure that any other areas where your child spends a lot of time are smoke-free. This may include day care centers, schools, and activity centers.
One More Reason to Quit
If you smoke, quitting would benefit your entire family. Quitting can also help your baby if the mom smokes and breastfeeds. Babies can be exposed to smoke chemicals through breast milk. This can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea in some babies, which may interfer with growth.
Knowing the ways that smoking can harm your baby may still not make it easy to quit. Like many habits, it may take more than one try. There are several programs and tools to help you take the necessary steps. Many may be available for free or at a discounted rate. Talk with your doctor about options that may work best for you.
Whether or not you quit smoking, it is very important not to expose your baby to secondhand smoke. Clear the air for your baby. Doing so will help your baby develop properly, significantly decrease the number of colds and infections, and avoid serious lung issues. A healthy baby also tends to be a happy baby, and that is good for everyone too.

NAEP assesses representative samples of students rather than the entire population of students. The sample selection process utilizes a probability sample design in which each school and each student has a known probability of being selected (the probabilities are proportionate to the estimated number of students in the grade assessed). Samples are selected according to a multistage design, with students drawn from within sampled public and private schools nationwide.
The 2006–07 Common Core of Data (CCD) file, a comprehensive list of operating public schools in each jurisdiction that is compiled each school year by NCES, served as the sampling frame for the selection of public schools in each state/jurisdiction. The sample of students in districts participating in the Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) represents an augmentation of the sample of students selected as part of the state samples. All students at more local geographic sampling levels also make up part of the broader samples. For example, the TUDA samples are included as part of the corresponding state samples, and the state samples are included as part of the national sample.
The 2005–06 Private School Survey (PSS), a mail survey of all U.S. private schools carried out biennially by the Census Bureau under contract to NCES, served as the sampling frame for private schools. While state and district results are based on samples of public schools only, the national results are based on the combined samples of public and private schools.
View a summary of the national and state sample sizes and target populations for grades 4 and 8.
View a summary of the student and school participation rates for the NAEP 2011 mathematics assessment.
Because each school that participated in the assessment, and each student assessed, represents only a portion of the larger population of interest, the results are weighted to make appropriate inferences between the student samples and the respective populations from which they are drawn. Sampling weights are adjusted for the disproportionate representation of some groups in the selected sample. This includes oversampling of schools with high concentrations of students from certain racial/ethnic groups and the lower sampling rates of students who attend very small schools.

Ukranian Politician Death-Grips Deputy on Parliament Floor
Presiding over a legislative session is hard, as Vice speaker of the Ukrainian parliament Adam Martynyuk can tell you. What do you do if some keeps bugging you and asking to speak, the way his deputy Oleg Lyashko was doing last week? As Martynyuk shows, sometimes a nice smooth death grip is the only thing that really communicates the procedural rules. [via Boing Boing]

Ah, to be in a garden in the cool of the day, with the fresh smell of the earth and plants filling the air. On Beaverland Farm on Hoke Road in Lancaster County, Robert and Lisa Bowers enjoy a bounty of the fruit of the earth – and all of the sights and smells that go with it – in a half acre garden on their property.
The garden began coming to life in February, Lisa Bowers said.

The word "bee" usually makes people think of the honeybee. However, honeybees, Apis mellifora, were imported from Europe by the early colonists for their honey. The wild colonies of honeybees in North America are a result of the bees' tendency to swarm.

The secret of a beautiful lawn isn't always found in a barrel of chemicals or a bag of expensive grass seed.
Sometimes, it's found in a barrel-shaped roller with spikes on it that penetrate the ground or hollow cylinders that extract cores or plugs of soil.
Just steps away from the busy hubbub of the Lancaster County Courthouse and County Administration buildings, Justice Java offers a quiet getaway.

Onomatopoetic word describing the sound of a zit being squeezed and the pus flying onto a mirror. Be careful when saying this word around people who speak Chinese, because this word sounds like "cao", which is the f-bomb in that language.

Occupant complaints about poor cell phone signal can be as nagging as cell phone ringtones. But dropped calls and spotty coverage don't happen on a whim. They are signs that you should pump up the signal within your facility.
In-building wireless systems will help answer the call. The type of solution depends on the nature of the situation. Take these steps to find the right one.
Pinpoint the Problem
Poor coverage can be the result of several factors.
"When you get into densely packed buildings, very large facilities, or those that house a large number of people, then you should consider an in-building solution," explains Chad Townes, VP of AT&T's antenna solutions group.
Older types of construction using concrete, brick, and steel are notorious signal killers, which was part of the problem at Chicago's Merchandise Mart.
"We have a 4.2 million-square-foot building that was built in the 1930s," says Will Wong, the Merchandise Mart's IT director. "Cell phone towers simply cannot penetrate into our building."
The Merchandise Mart is the cocktail of coverage conundrums, because in addition to its size and old construction, it accommodates over 30,000 people every day, with occupancy reaching over 50,000 during tradeshows.
"People do business on cell phones. They make transactions, do research, and send and receive email," Wong explains. "About two years ago, I started hearing rumblings about demand for better cell phone signals within the building."
Is cell phone coverage in your building spotty? Finding a solution requires reaching out to manufacturers, wireless solution providers, and the major carriers. "There are a couple routes you can take," Wong says.

|In response to Re: replacing galvinized pipes
Thanks for the response. I was wondering between PEX and CPVC? I am checking with the codes, but I have been told here in AZ I can not go overhead. I will find out. CPVC glues together, correct? How are the fittings attached with PEX? Do they have fittings for either to attach to the existing galvinized plumbing?
: Copper or PEX plastic are the two most common materials. It would be difficult to install the new piping under the concrete without making a lot of holes. The repiping is normally done with the new pipes overhead in the attic.
: : I have a home built in the 50's. I have a major slab leak(hot water). It is all galvinized and is in horrible condition. What is the most widely used and recomended material used to replace galvinized pipes? I have gained access to the plumbing through holes jackhammered in the slab. Thanks MKM

Arrive in La Paz from Los Angeles and drive across the Baja Peninsula to San Carlos and board our ship.
National Geographic Sea Bird/Sea Lion (D)
Bahía Magdalena—a vast wilderness of sand dunes, mangrove channels, and protected waters—is one of the main breeding and calving areas for California gray whales. Every year, gray whales migrate here from the Arctic waters of Alaska; it is believed to be the longest migration known for any mammal and one of nature's greatest spectacles. In this vast water nursery, observe these enormous yet gentle animals from the ship and at water level from our Zodiacs. Walk along sand dunes of incomparable beauty, and discover dense mangroves by kayak. On the mud flats, spot migrating birds at rest.
(B,L,D daily)
The morning is spent at the Gorda Banks seamount, a gathering place for whales, especially humpbacks, as well as dolphins and other sea life. Then cruise past Friars Rocks at Land's End and dock at San Jose del Cabo. Here, you can choose to explore the Historic town or visit a nearby estuary for a unique birding opportunity.
At Los Islotes, snorkel and swim among curious sea lions. With its deeply indented bays, Espíritu Santo is one of the most beautiful islands in the Sea of Cortez. This afternoon, swim, kayak, or hike, keeping your eye out for brown pelicans, gulls, wandering tattlers, great blue herons, and boobies. Later, enjoy a barbecue on the beach.
Today is a day with the luxury of no specific plan. You may spend time on the lookout for whales, bottlenose and common dolphin, or explore some of the many uninhabited islands such as Isla San Francisco or Isla San Jose, known for its sweeping beaches and arroyos. Birdlife may be plentiful, and the nutrient-rich sea is home to an overwhelming variety of fish: king angelfish, surgeonfish, butterfly fish, damselfish, and the beautiful parrotfish.
Disembark after breakfast in La Paz and drive to the airport for our flight to Los Angeles.
Please note: A State Department travel warning for Mexico is currently in effect (http://travel.state.gov). The area of concern noted in the warning is not near the region we visit on this itinerary. We expect to operate this trip as planned, but will continue to closely monitor events in the country.

"If everybody is trying to avoid the draft, who is going to win this war?" were words spoken by Owen Price during the first part of World War II as his boss informed him of being put on the critical war effort list so he couldn't be drafted. Soon after that, his draft notice came and he was shipped overseas. "When I returned, I was glad I had the chance to defend this country," Owen said.
During his first year following the draft, he was trained at Camp Collin, Calif. and Fort Bliss, Texas. He received training on rifles and anti-aircraft guns, with an extensive two week infantry training at Camp Maxy, Texas.
In his early training, Owen met a young sergeant whose name was John Claus. Sgt. Claus spoke fluent German and enabled his group to take many prisoners, and save many American lives. Sgt. Claus assigned Owen to the azimuth position on a 90 mm anti-aircraft gun. This became his attachment to the 161st Field Artillery Battalion, a part of the 35th Infantry Division.
Owen arrived at the scene of the Battle of the Bulge, which was then in its final stages. Following the completion of this battle, he was sent north with the 35th to relieve the Ninth Army British Brigade in a very heavily mined area. "It was impossible to go on foot off the road without a mine detector," stated Owen. "Some of the Germans were killed by their own mines, even as they were planting them."
In February of 1945, he was in Randarth as the Germans bombarded the town heavily. Many of the soldiers were killed or wounded. Their mission in Randarth was to support the crossing of the Roer River, but a dam break upstream flooded the valley and postponed the crossing until later in the month. During his time in Randarth, Owen met a soldier who was an engineer named John Pepperakis. After the war, Pepperakis came to Sunnyside, Utah, and the two worked together in the mines and on construction projects in the Sunnyside area.
Firing in preparation for the Rhine Crossing began on March 24, 1945. Following heavy fighting and many attempts to blow up the bridge to prevent the crossing, in the early morning hours of March 25, they were able to cross the bridge and found many white flags waving in surrender. "Our soldiers liberated several concentration camps and saw horrible things they could never forget," Owen stated.
From the banks of Normandy where he began, to the banks of the Elbe River, Owen's group of soldiers had covered 1,525 miles in combat in almost 10 months.
His European Theater of Operations ribbon had acquired five bronze stars during this time. In early May, the 161st was sent to occupation duty near Hanover, Germany. In July, the first steps on the road home were taken as the battalion was moved into France. While on a 10 day pass in London, awaiting a boat to the Pacific Theater, word came of the bombing of Hiroshima. The war was over.
Owen's battalion was indeed loaded onto a ship, but this ship brought them into the New York harbor, past the Statue of Liberty, and on their way home to their families. He was very glad to be home again with his wife and two young children.

The Integra continues in the enviable tradition of providing a fully independent, 4-wheel double-wishbone suspension for a superb combination of sporty handling and excellent ride quality.
The objective was to provide the Integra driver with a vehicle that is responsive and comfortable in daily driving, yet with excellent cornering stability, good traction and stable behavior.
For 1998, upgraded wheel designs and fitments provide a fresh look and enhance performance.
The components of the front suspension are an L-shaped lower control arm, an upper control arm, a coil-over shock absorber, a stabilizer bar and a performance rod. For the GS-R front suspension, the engineering team also specified the use of a shock tower bar and on the GS and the GS-R, a stabilizer bar equipped with ball joints instead of rubber bushings. The tower bar ties together the tops of the front spring/damper assemblies. The performance rod is designed to act as an A-arm cross brace to enhance handling and precision and stiffen the front lower subframe. The tower bar and performance rod are designed to enhance rigidity and contribute to suspension precision.
In order to enhance stability under braking in both a straight line and while cornering, the L-shaped lower control arm has been equipped with specially tuned compliance bushings. These bushings allow the lower control arm to impart a toe-out condition on the front wheels. Allowing the wheels to toe out while braking in a corner enhances stability and allows the vehicle to track more precisely.
The engineering team has tailored the suspension to take the full benefit of negative scrub geometry, especially when braking on a split-friction surface. Under this condition, the suspension tends to maintain greater directional stability by countering the forces that would normally tend to steer the vehicle in the direction of the side with the lower traction coefficient. By balancing these forces, the Integra tends to brake with maximum stability.
The rear double-wishbone suspension components consist of upper and lower control arms, a trailing arm, a coil-over shock absorber and a stabilizer bar. All models of the Integra share the same rear suspension componentry and calibrations.
The engineering team designed the Integra suspension to deliver neutral handling characteristics and provide the driver with high-quality feedback and excellent traction. The spring/shock combination offers both a resilient ride and precise handling. Each shock absorber uses a 30 mm cylinder and is equipped with an exclusive progressive valve unit, which opens progressively in response to wheel loads. Most shock valves are designed to either open completely or close completely in response to vertical wheel loads. This system provides better ride quality along with excellent handling.
All Integra models feature 4-wheel disc brakes, with ventilated rotors at the front and solid rotors at the rear. For maximum rigidity of the braking system and to provide a short pedal stroke, the front brake calipers are large, stout units that have a higher resistance to flexing and "spread" under severe braking conditions.
The Integra LS, GS and GS-R use the latest-generation Acura ABS system. This lightweight system functions with minimal pedal kickback during ABS operation in situations such as hard braking.
The Integra features an innovative, power-assisted steering gear design that is lighter and more compact than conventional power steering systems. Instead of modulating power assistance to the steering rack in accordance with road speed, this system varies power assist by a combination of engine rpm and the amount of torque generated between the pavement and the tire. The advantage of this system is that it exercises more precise control over the amount of power assist provided. It also provides more linear steering with regard to lateral loads encountered while cornering.
The Integra RS Coupe is equipped with P195/60 R14 85H all-season tires. The LS is equipped with Michelin XGT-H4 P195/60 R14 85H all-season tires which are now mounted on machine-finish alloy wheels. The GS features Michelin XGT-V4 195/55 R15 84V all-season tires mounted on lightweight machine-finished aluminum-alloy wheels, while the GS-R feature a new sporty wheel design. The tires for all models have been specifically developed to work in concert with the suspension calibrations, to provide excellent traction, stability, controllability and predictable handling behavior.

"I wear a size 10, so by default alot of shoes that look 'cute' in pictures, dont look so cute on my foot. I ordered these anyway hoping they could be OK. First thing is they are a shiny 'vinyl' type material. The shoes are good looking, sexy, and could be ok in an office setting (not a traditional office). For me they will have to go back, they are a little narrow at the toe area. And not so 'cute ' in size 10. :("

"These shoes are so comfy and have the perfect fit. They are real head-turners, too. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. The mesh portion has already begun to pull away from the shoe. I've only worn these a dozen or so times, too. I'm so disappointed. They were my favorite new shoe."

Gorgeous but not long lasting...
"I have this is the blood red color and it is a beautiful shoe - Comfortable - stylish and oh so wonderfully retro. But.. the mesh part that's connected between the pieces of flowery leather pulls apart and frays like a torn window screen after only two wearings. Soooo disappointed - I may try to repair it somehow but can't see buying them again sadly =("
