Well, I agree with u about taking your job seriously. But once home, her top priority should be the family, Especially with a new baby. She came home in a bad mood the other night. Went up to her bedroom and stayed there never said hello to me or my son. That is just rude. I do not like rudeness.
I can see that she is very immature in a lot of areas. I am just seeing it first hand now. It hard to get a handle on a person when u only see them for a little bit over the holidays. Everything centers on what she wants and when. I think the relationship lacks respect. She is constantly stating how important she is at work –that tells me she lacks confidence in herself. If you r constantly tooting your own horn, well??? Her job is a job not rocket science or finding a cure for cancer it's a job. Like mine at school, yes I love it and education but when I get home I want to relax not keep working. Yes there r times I vent about parent neglect etc.
Venting is different then working on your laptop ignoring the people around u.
Today with the way the economy is its takes two incomes, just to survive. I get that.
There just has to be more respect in a relationship and like I said she the Queen bee that Rules this Nest. I feel bad for my son but that's his option to put up with it…..
All relationships has its compromises.
U had a bad experience in your past with the "give me everything gal" tv shows r filled with all these housewife living the high life….doing what? I had a control freak for a husband (now x-husband) I will never lose site of who I am and I will always have a paycheck so that past will never bite me again. But I guess u still have to be able to move forward from the past. I swear today its almost like you need to see references, criminal check, etc before dating someone HA. Its crazy but that way it is today. HA
Sorry for venting….rudeness just bothers me.
Well, there r very jobs around in somerset county but I applied so we will see. I still have my school job. I wish things would improve. It just seems exhausting always looking etc.
Have a good day….
PS "some woman can be high maintenance and very strong willed" which equals a PITA
; )
Well, no I'm not having a great week. Although I had my first draft Heineken beer the other day : ) Never had that in a draft before. Woo-hoo
I have my summer off because I work in a school district. I offer to help my son watch my grandson during summer. It is quality time for me and bonding with my three month old grandson. But also a plus for them to have a family member help out with day-care. Day-care is crazy high priced in this area!
The problem is my daughter-in-law is very high maintenance in the personality area, which is driving me crazy. Im so laid back like my son. I came down special on Sunday for them. My son took Monday off work and him and D in L were to do something together just for fun. Well they left and were back in less than 35minutes. She went to work and he went to garage. Crazy shit. She is annoyed by any nice thing u do. It didn't bother me all summer but now I am ticked!
To her its all about her job which is seriously not that big of a deal. She makes it like it is…
I cannot wait for Friday so I can go back to PA. That is sad because I wont see my grandson for a while but I cant take the attitude she gives me. Im done with the nice mother-in-law. I can be a PITA too! LOL
I did apply today for a job in an engineering company in PA as an administrative assistant; I am hoping I can score on that one. I will still take those computer security classes online. I figure that r cheap enough why not????
Don't worry about making me bored. I think in a way- we all r right now. Because we don't have the job, our location etc in our lives. But we must keep positive about things.
Try living with a HM chick! Boring would be a good thing! LOL
Have a good day…..

Hi there, I cut out early for me last Friday. I was able to back in back to PA in just under 3 hours. woo-hoo! this is my last week in VA. That is good tired of the drive especially alone. but I have a full week here.
Yes the movie shooting is so unreal. How do go online and order these types of guns etc without a strict waiting period- ? red flag here. this is the second time in Colorado that this has happened. red flag red flag
But beyond that is our option for the president election. seriously it's not good. I do not think that the choices are going to help the average everyday worker or your "middle class" group at all. It is scary!
so when u r not looking for a job what do u do with your time?
How r things going with your Mom? etc
I hope the web sites help -
well its been a long day with drive-happy hour etc. touch base again tomorrow

Thank you. I appreciate the welcome and info. Looking forward to this site!
Good Morning, yes it was a rainy weekend. those r the times you curl up with a good book or for me now I'm playing pc games. Which is totally unlike me but i am just that bored! When i mention the beach any where on the East coast will work for me. Except FL then it would have to be the gulf side. I love everything about being at the beach. I dont get there enough. I havent found anything new jobs although there r two in the I pittsburgh that i might apply too.
Here is the web site worth looking at it has all kinds of certification: http://www.expertrating.com
If that doesnt work u might need to add certifications. I am going to with Expert Online computer security course-I It is a six week course for certifications in "whatever topic area" for 130.00 If you past the test at the end you move. Im started at Course-I just because i feel it will be easy enough for me to get back into the study area again. I just want to keep working my way up the computer security ladder to i get to a place where I can start using the education and experience that I have.....I hate just standing still.....jobs in PA r lacking and really bad in educational areas.
So did you hear about Penn State outcome? People r complaining. It's like Hello! we r talking abut covering up multiple sex abuse. I thought NCAA did a great job. U cannot put football above children being abused.
then the news in Colorado. so sad. I do not understand how people can purchases assault guns without it sending up a red flag? unreal. I do not understand how anyone can just shoot down innocent people today!
Well check out that site i think it has crimmal justice certification but u might have to search for it.
later have a good day.

Thank you, I am new to this site, so I am still figuring it out. :D
hey big bro! how have you been. i'm still in the business of writing and still have my hopes of hitting it big one of these days. what have you been up to?
Good morning…it looks like it's going to be a soggy day in the NE. I will probably have the rain plus traffic to deal with this afternoon.
I would love to move to the east coast side but that would take a miracle. Living on the beach or close would be wonderful.
I guess in order to have that u would need an online job. Or work the tourist's areas.
I am putting two links here. I know I have another one but its must be bookmarked on my other computer; I search for a while to find that one. When I come back to VA I have it will me.
I was to vegas once and I really didn't see the appeal. I don't gamble and unless u r into mountains it's just isn't the area.
I live in PA most of my life. I like Florida but the west side. I did a few years in Oklahoma and that place was really blah…Yep the coast side is a true positive.
Well, have a great weekend catch up next week …take care

The job is real fun. And I still haven't scratched the surface yet. I'm currently home taking a vacation. I'll be back on the ship in august. Just in time to sail around the Carribean. There is a rumor about us sailing somewhere around Cuba. If we were to pull in there, the only place would be Gitmo. I'm trying to get promoted, but I don't have enough seatime yet (i need 360 days in the deck department). I should have enough seatime for that after this next cruise. I'll keep you posted.
Good morning,
Ah the traffic issues here Ha love it ...i dont know its a love/hate relationship : ) …this place is booming but the cost of living for what u get is a lot. They r in the process of building an outdoor concert arena, plus more data centers. The George Washington University is a few miles away. It's the ashburn campus not the main one. I did apply at the university awhile ago but never got anything back.
Truck driving has its pros and cons just like another job. I didn't realize that it is a team thing now. It is one job that is always in demand. Could be a place to start and if u don't like it could just be another plus for experience on your resume.
R there any jobs in the construction area? That is big in most states.
Another big job is gas line pipers (not sure about the job title) In PA installing windmills and windmill operators r big.
I'm not sure of the certification program website I will try and find it for u there r a lot of possibilities. I have a BS in software engineer and was turned down by a company because they just wanted a network installer and was looking for some one with a certification not a degree. That means two things the can pay them less and they just specialize in just that one area. I do not like running network it's a PITA job. It's like installing electric wiring in a place after the walls are not instead of during the frame time.
well, hang in there…..hopefully at some point we can each find the "job"
take care

I've been reading THe no cry sleep solution and trying to work on several things. The first thing i'm trying to conqour is getting my lo to sleep for an hour or 2 before i come to bed. However I've noticed during the day that she is way more clingy. She doesn't like to go to dh's arms now and will crawl all over me, all day in attempt to keep me close, instead of playing with her toys. I want to move her to her crib during this time because i'm nervous about her waking up and me not knowing. I've got my monitor turned as loud as i can get it to hear her, I've got the matress on the floor and a guardrail on my side of the bed. However the head of our bed has a window that i can't do anything about (no matter where else i put my bed i can't have it away from the window and still have heat in the upstairs, stupid layout of the house). I may trust her when she's older but i'm not sure. Is the clingy behavious a sign i'm already pushing her far enough and should wait to get her in the crib?? or is this a normal developmental stage??
No announcement yet.

It may or may not be related, could simply be because of change, not necessarily what the change was. I don't understand what you mean by describing the safety of the room. Are you worried about it> Do you think she is? Do you mean you want to put her in a crib and want to know a gentle way to transition her?

I know the room isn't safe and this weekend my dh and i are going to takle it to make it safe. The challenge will be the window at the head of our bed. I guess i should have posted elsewhere. I've just noticed my dd is super clingy. to the point i can't sit on the sofa. she will cry until i get down on the floor with her. She wants to crawl all over me instead of playing with her toys, no matter how much i try and play with her. She won't go to her daddy's arms any more. the entire time she will struggle to return back to my arms. She screams bloody murder if i leave the room. I've recently been trying to nurse her to sleep and leave her in our bed while i go downstairs to clean/watch t.v.. I wonder if this is magnifying her behaviours as previously described. The only time she doesn't do this behaviour is when she's at a play group (or other peoples houses). I let her go so far away from me and then i follow, simply becasuse there are older children who are not so aware of a baby.
It's frustrating for me not to be able to communicate with her to find out what the issue is, and console anything emotionally that may be going on. I know there really isn't such a thing as overly attatched but i'm concerned because now she's increasing her night feedings, will not play with her father, and seems to be happy only in my arms. I wondering if this is just a phase that she will grow out of? is it realate to her new nighttime routine?? I've recieved feedback that she's not socialized with other children enough and i should force her to stay awake to take her to play groups (as there is only one program and it is schedualed at her nap time, and i have no friends with children)? Is this "normal" seperation anxiety??

it sounds to me like she could be experiencing stranger anxiety. this is a completely normal stage of development that all children go through, at varying degrees of intensity. try to respond to her "messages" by letting her know you are there for her and as she learns to trust you, she will grow more self-confident and not be so fearful.

she's not socialized
That super clingy thing is very annoying, I have been there, trust me, and its not easy. I know it is tempting to try to solve the problem by 'fixing' the child, but this seldom helps. You sound like you are worn out and getting some time to yourself in a creative way might go a long way towards helping you both (and all 3 of you) to get some comfort and normalcy. ANYTIME you start changing something, a child will notice and react. ANYTIME things are changing with a child (teething, new skills, developmental stage, perception of Mommy and Daddy) the child will act differently. I have found if you pull away from a superneedy child, it only gets worse! Whatever that fear is, pulling a way or making yourself less available makes them fear it MORE. Imagine if you told a older child that this was the last piece of candy he could EVER have! It would be a frantic, desperate candy eating session! Possibly this is how a pre-verbal child might perceive your pulling away. It is not logical for the child and I know you are not doing it on purpose. These are just ideas...i am not there and I am not her!
Have you looked into OTHER groups for more of a variety of meeting times? How about more AP supportive freinds? Lets find you some!

I've tried finding ap groups in my area, or even make some friends at these other group in an attempt to find other ap parents. But alas it seems that i am the only ap mother in this area. Most give me strange looks or simply relate it to my social work background, or want nothing to do with me Now i remember why i hated this small town of mine i've moved back to. I would love to go into the city to try and find some other ap mom's however my lo does NOT travel well at all. She hates her car seat and being restrained. So i appreciate your help and am sorry to constantly be questioning you guys but i do like the feedback i get from you.
Therefor i have more questions for you
Is this related to stranger anxiety or simply personality. I've been trying many of the suggestions in the no-cry-sleep-solution. The ones i'm working on is, One introducing a lovely (to help her sleep longer and return back to sleep on her own after waking). So far she tends to throw them away and wants nothing to do with them as soon as we're going to bed, same with her soother, she wants the brest.
Second i've tried to get her accustomed to sleeping on her own. So i go through the whole nap/bedtime routine. At bedtime i can get her asleep easily but she still wakes up constantly for the time i'm not in bed with her (i've given up on her crib) and will settle down easily only to wake up 30 mins later. So far none of the suggestions seem to be working but at least she will go to sleep. For naps i go through the nap routine and at the end place her in a sling (instead of the wrap because i can get it out of her without waking her) however now she screams and arches her back in the sling and will only go to sleep in a wrap. I've tried nursing her down fir some of the naps but she knows this is out of the ordinary and starts trying to get away. i'm getting so frustrated as nothing seems to be working and we've been at this for several weeks now. Am I just pushing her to fast??? Or is it likely to be her personality in keeping me close (as i've been told by my mom is how i was and why they resorted to the CIO method, which i'm against)? Any suggestions??Last edited by smurfsammy; 02-17-2009, 08:39 PM.

I don't use body lotions that much since I have body acne and most clog my pores. Decided to use this after hearing it's good for acne scars. It's been a few weeks and I saw a noticeable improvement on how my skin feels and looks, although the formula is a bit sticky. Overall, it's a great product..
good product

great exfoliator. i use on my face too!
Fabulous for winter
Posted by SihayasWorld on Jan 26, 2014
I love this body lotion, it's intensively nourishing and hydrates dry skin really well, making it silky smooth for a long time. Also, because of the AHA, my skin would always have a natural glow the next day. It is very emollient and I don't know how much I would like it during the hotter months but it's a skin saver during winter and cold weather.
Nothing special
Posted by MyBeautiful on Jul 24, 2015
Sometimes after I used this body lotion my skin feels like burning. It does moisturize, but it's sticky and maybe leave the skin smooth, but does not really even the skin tone. I also think it is a bit expensive.

I sure hope you can help me! My husband tried to snake our plugged drain this morning and made it worse. In an attempt to fix it myself I read some of your threads on plugged drains and removed the plug lever myself, then used a coat hanger with a "V" in the end to try to flip the plug thing I thought was there.
Now I know I should have looked online to see what it looked like inside before inserting the coat hanger. Now that I have, I'm pretty sure the blockage is past where my coat hanger can reach.
Now about 2 feet of the coat hanger is stuck in the pipes. Jiggling it as I rotate it doesn't get me anywhere. I'm guessing it got to the "T" that leads to the shower but I didn't want to force it to straighten the "V" without advice.
Is there anything I could break in there by forcefully pulling the coat hanger out?
I would have called a plumber, but we're trying to get by on one salary in Silicon Valley since I got laid off. Money is tight.

As I write this, at 8am on the morning of my birthday, I've already received numerous texts from people, tweets, linkedIn messages and facebook wall comments wishing me many happy returns. I'm actually quite overwhelmed by it. Thank you so much everyone. Many of the people on the social networks didn't even know me a few years ago and they've taken the time to stop by and wish me the best – this is one of the reasons I love this medium – the ability to build relationships
Without wanting to get too nauseous I thought rather than a 'list of things to do' or a 'top ways to….' blog, I'd simply write about the things I'm grateful for, something I think everyone should do once in a while. It's a positive thing to do, so even if you don't publish it like I have, maybe do this for yourself in private – it might help put things in perspective.
Health – Another year passes and I'm in good health which has to be up there as one of the most important things to be grateful for. I've joined the gym this year and intend to work on this part of my life even more in 2011. Fit body, fit mind after all.
Family – I'm incredibly grateful for having a supportive family. My parents are always behind everything I do and while they are not necessarily in my life everyday, they have a huge bearing on where I've come from and where I'm going. A special mention here goes to my brother and his partner who had my niece, Tilly, last year – the most beautiful baby I've ever seen and someone that has made me think much more about work/life balance.
Friends – My friends and partner are unbelievable. A close nit group, spanning the country & lots more abroad. Intelligent, enthusiastic, gregarious people who I owe an awful lot of why I am 'me' too. People I can turn to in time of need and most importantly, people that I know will keep me smiling and laughing all day long.
The Optix Team – No one has had it easy over the last couple of years, business in general for the country has been tougher than it's been in a very long time so I'm thankful and grateful for my business and my team – without whom, it wouldn't be possible.
You – Finally I'd like to thank you. For reading this, for sharing it with friends, for commenting and spreading it. It makes it worthwhile.
You can put your sick buckets away now guys, normal service will resume next post. Just thought this might be a nice little break from the norm.
Now Your Thoughts
- What are you most grateful for? It would be great to hear…

Glasgow Warriors coach Gregor Townsend has rung the changes for his side's fixture against Zebre at Stadio XXV Aprille on Friday.
Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend has rung the changes for his side's clash with Zebre at Stadio XXV Aprille on Friday.
Captain Al Kellock is one of nine personnel switches and one positional shift, as he returns from opening-day injury to make his 150th Warriors appearance.
Sean Maitland makes his first appearance of the season at full-back in place of Stuart Hogg, while Argentine Gabirel Ascarte lines up at outside centre as Mark Bennett is rested.
Exciting Fijian scrum half Niko Matawalu is set to make his first outing of the season from the bench having recovered from a broken metatarsal sustained during pre-season.
Townsend has also opted to rest Chris Cusiter and Sean Lamont, with Henry Pyrgos and Byron McGuigan starting in their stead.
In the forwards, loosehead Ryan Grant and hooker Pat MacArthur are replaced by Gordon Reid and Dougie Hall respectively.
The only positional switch sees Robert Harley move from blindside flanker to second row alongside Kellock, with the abrasive James Eddie taking his place in the back row. This means Josh Strauss moves to number eight, and Richie Vernon drop to the bench.
Townsend's men are currently top of the Pro12 with three wins from three, and have yet to concede a try. The coach has the Italian outfit firmly in his sights, and despite the changes, has named a high-calibre line-up.
"Beating Leinster last Friday was a fantastic result for the club, but our focus is now on backing that up with a win against Zebre tomorrow night," said Townsend.
"They are a very difficult team to play against and after winning their first game in the league last week they will be full of confidence. We have selected a strong squad and we've been pleased with the intensity in training this week.
"Our players are acutely aware of the improvement Zebre have made since they entered the competition last season and how we must limit any opportunities they have to attack.
"We're delighted to have Al (Kellock) and Niko (Matawalu) back after their injuries and we also welcome back Sean Maitland after his involvement with the British and Irish Lions."
Meanwhile, Zebre come into the game on the back of a morale-boosting win at Cardiff Blues.
However, they will be without Italian international second-row Quintin Geldenhuys and flanker Filippo Ferrarini, who are ruled out after suffering an injury at the Arms Park.
Fijian centre Ratuvou will be back in action after missing last week.
George Biagi will earn his first competitive start in the RaboDirect PRO12 while on the bench Carlo Fazzari and Filippo Cristiano could earn their first cap of the season.
The teams:
Zebre: 15 Ruggero Trevisan, 14 David Odiete, 13 Kameli Ratuvou, 12 Matteo Pratichetti, 11 Leonardo Sarto, 10 Luciano Orquera, 9 Brendon Leonard, 8 Samuela Vunisa, 7 Andries van Schalkwyk, 6 Mauro Bergamasco, 5 Marco Bortolami (capt), 4 George Biagi, 3 Dario Chistolini, 2 Andrea Manici, 1 Salvatore Perugini.
Replacements: 16 Tommaso D'Apice, 17 Matias Aguero, 18 Carlo Fazzari, 19 Emiliano Caffini, 20 Filippo Cristiano, 21 Alberto Chillon, 22 Tommaso Ioannone, 23 Giovanbattista Venditti.
Glasgow Warriors: 15 Sean Maitland, 14 Tommy Seymour, 13 Gabriel Ascarte, 12 Alex Dunbar, 11 Byron McGuigan, 10 Ruaridh Jackson, 9 Henry Pyrgos, 8 Josh Strauss, 7 Chris Fusaro, 6 James Eddie, 5 Al Kellock (c), 4 Robert Harley, 3 Jon Welsh, 2 Dougie Hall, 1 Gordon Reid.
Replacements: 16 Fraser Brown, 17Jerry Yanuyanutawa, 18 Moray Low, 19 Jonny Gray, 20 Tyrone Holmes, 21 Richie Vernon, 22 Niko Matawalu, 23 Scott Wight.

Custom Built Cars
NC Custom Built Cars
Custom built vehicles are becoming more and more common as more and more self-made and professional auto mechanics decide that they wish to drive around in something they can call their own. When it comes to a custom built car, the registration processes in NORTH CAROLINA are going to be a lot different than that for standard vehicles in original, manufacturer's condition.
What Are Custom Vehicles?
Custom-built cars are unique in various ways. The following vehicles are considered to be custom-made, therefore require custom vehicle procedures for registration and often titling as well.
- Self-modified vehicles
- Vehicles reconstructed with new components
- Specially created vehicles
- Street Rods
In most cases, these custom vehicles are created from components that weren't originally provided on the vehicle and aren't options from the manufacturer, have been constructed to take on a different look or style, or have had add-ons that have changed the style, type, and operation of the vehicle. In some cases, even those that have been converted from gas to diesel are considered custom creations and therefore will require custom-vehicle processes for registration.
Home-Crafted Vehicle Registration and Titling
Not all custom made vehicles require a new title, but there are those that will – especially if the VIN has been changed or reassigned. Modified vehicles are known for the addition, omission, modification, and even substitution of main components to the vehicle and parts, whether new or used. If you have simply provided standard repairs through new parts, you can disregard the processes of a modified vehicle.
The component or part modifications that qualify the car for status as a modified or custom vehicle include:
- Converting from one type of fuel to another
- Removing or adding an axle
- Replacing the complete engine
- Changing a standard truck to a flat or dump bed truck
- Changing the vehicle body type and/or style
If you find that your vehicle meets these guidelines for a custom vehicle, you can follow to titling and registration, or whichever is specified by the NC DMV in accordance to your specific vehicle.
- You may need to apply for a VIN number from the State Patrol. You can contact the DMV for more information concerning the need for a VIN on custom vehicles in the state.
- You will be required to complete safety inspection, and possibly emissions inspection if required within your county. This is to ensure that the vehicle and all its new components and parts are road worthy and safe.
- Complete the appropriate DMV forms and submit with the appropriate costs for registration and titling.
- Provide proof that you own the vehicle and parts or components used to craft the vehicle.
- Submit the appropriate forms designated for proof of ownership and drivability.
- Provide the DMV with a description of any and all modifications you have made to the vehicle since its original form.
- Provide proof that there is a current auto insurance policy covering the custom vehicle.
You will be required to complete these steps in person as the vehicle must be viewed and reviewed before you are able to register and title it with the NORTH CAROLINA DMV.
Reconstructed and Specially Constructed Vehicles in NORTH CAROLINA
Not all custom vehicles have been completely created by you. There are those that were previously branded as salvage vehicles or those that are considered to be antiques that have lost their ability to be driven on roadways for safety or mechanical issues in the past. If you decide to restore or reconstruct the vehicle, you have to follow the necessary steps included above for registration and titling. You may not be required to complete all steps, such as VIN application, but you will follow most of the steps to register and title the vehicle with the NC DMV.
There are also vehicles constructed from kits or different parts of other vehicles, which are considered to be specially constructed vehicles. These vehicles too are considered in most cases to be custom-made vehicles and will have to follow the above steps for registration and titling if needed.

Fits like a glove
"This is the second paid of Aston Grey's I get for my fiance. At first he thought they would be very uncomfortable because dress shoes are usually very uncomfortable the first time guy's wear them (I wouldn't know). But when he wore them for a whole workday he said they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever had. I am not sure why, but I think if I was a guy I would love that feeling!"

The Ferris Collection of Prints
The Museum's Graphic Arts Collection, the oldest print-collecting unit in the Smithsonian, focuses on the technical and social history of printmaking to document how prints are made and used. Smithsonian art museums collect works on paper selected for aesthetic reasons, but the National Museum of American History (formerly the Museum of History and Technology) takes a broad view of visual culture.
Our prints illustrate technical developments and cultural changes. They represent all kinds of graphic works that have influenced American society. The collection has always included examples from many periods and countries, fine-art prints as well as popular and commercial graphic art, together with the plates, blocks, and tools used to produce prints. In 1996 the Museum presented an exhibition on 150 years of Smithsonian print collecting, Building a National Collection.
One of the largest print collections ever received by the Smithsonian was donated by the Ferris family between 1927 and 1932. Stephen James Ferris (1835–1915), a Philadelphia painter and etcher, collected over 2,000 European and American prints, both reproductive and original, representing old master and contemporary printmakers. The collection incorporated a variety of artistic subjects, compositions, and styles. Ferris may well have mined it for inspiration for his own work, but he was also deeply interested in art for its own sake. He and his family and friends would have simply enjoyed studying the images.

"The Ferris Collection of Prints - Introduction" showing 2 items.
Mission Church, New Mexico
- Description
- Thomas Moran etched this view of a mission church in New Mexico in 1881 after a photograph by friend and traveling companion William Henry Jackson (1843–1942). Moran had met Jackson in 1871 on Ferdinand V. Hayden's Yellowstone expedition, the first government-sponsored survey of that area. Jackson and Moran worked side by side recording views. While Moran's paintings of the West made his reputation, fewer than one-fifth of his etchings depict Western or Mexican scenes. His signature "TYM" at lower left stands for Thomas "Yellowstone" Moran.
- The church shown in this print was replaced by a stone building in the early 20th century, and the San Juan Pueblo recently changed its name to Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo. It lies twenty-five miles north of Santa Fe.

Street Musicians
- Description
- Jean Léon Gérôme (1824–1904) painted this scene of Pifferari or street musicians serenading an unseen image of the Virgin Mary in 1870. Camille Piton etched it for an auction catalog of works from the collection of J. C. Runkle, which were sold on March 8, 1883. The auction was organized by Samuel P. Avery, art dealer and print collector. Pifferari come from the mountains in Calabria, Italy, and from the Abruzzi to play bagpipes and reed instruments like the piffero, a kind of oboe, before images of the Virgin in Rome during the Christmas season. Jean Léon Gérôme was a favorite painter of Stephen Ferris, who named his son after him.

Jets Gameday - If not now, when?
Robert Cleave
March 01 2012 02:36PM
When the schedule was drawn up last summer, tonight's Winnipeg-Florida game seemed an unlikely candidate to be a meaningful affair, with the ex-Thrashers and still-Panthers having spent last year wallowing in the depths of the Eastern Conference's second tier. Washington and Tampa were the clear heavyweights starting the season, and by this point in the year, the night seemed certain to just be another dreary encounter between two teams that would once again be relegated to playing out the string.
Of course, that's not quite how the year has unfolded, and as a result this evening's match at the Arena That Elbow Room Forgot has all the appearance of a game with actual playoff implications. With all caveats about the horrid level of the East this year noted, that's a surprising, and welcome, development.
The nearness of the standings is still a bit deceiving from the Winnipeg POV because of all the games in hand that teams like Florida and Washington have over the locals, but those teams have to actually win those games, and as we've witnessed in this year's Southeast Division's turtle race, no one team has been able to shake loose, at least not as of yet. With that in mind, this evening looms as Winnipeg's last, best, hope to make a dent in the Panthers' 4 point edge.
They'll do so at what passes for full strength, as Zach Bogosian returns after a two week stint on the shelf with some variety of upper body ailment. Bogosian has made significant strides this year, as the 21 year old has gone from being smoked against good comp last year in Atlanta to breaking even in analogous circumstances this year. Young defenders never seem to make precisely linear improvement, and Bogosian is hardly the finished article, but after 252 NHL games, he looks like he's starting to grasp the concept.
Beyond Bogosian's own improved work this year, his return holds two other benefits, in my view. Dustin Byfuglien played over 28 minutes on Monday versus the Oilers, and looked about cooked by the third period in doing so, which suggests that cutting his minutes back by about 5 or thereabouts will likely be a plus. Bogosian's ability to play 20 solid minutes should accomodate that need.
The other benefit to Bogosian's insertion into the lineup is that it will reduce the need for Randy Jones to play as much, and that can only be seen as a blessing at this point. I'm sure he's a nice man and all, kind to children and animals and that sort of thing, but I'll confess after Monday night's fiasco I'm about ready to begin marking the days until he's elsewhere like a prison calendar.
It was easy to write off the Panthers heading into the fall, and although there's a whiff of good fortune to their continued place atop the SE, they've given the Jets fits in the season series, winning three of the four encounters. They've gotten solid years out of Fleishmann, Campbell, Garrison and Weiss, and their goaltending has held up through the first 3/4 of the year, as Jose Theodore has more or less matched what they got from Tomas Vokoun in 10/11.
Unlike the Jets on deadline day, the Panthers did add a pair of forwards for depth, obtaining Jerred Smithson and Wojtek Wolski to bolster the front line. I mentioned on Twitter at the time of his trade that, given his chequered past, it was appropriate that Wolski joined Tallon's Island of Misfit Toys in a bid to restart his careeer. He's managed 1G, 1A, +2 in his 3 games with Florida, and if he can somehow manage to play anywhere near his talent level for the next several weeks, Florida might have something.
One blessing for Winnipeg this evening is that Florida's lineup is absent the one player that the Jets have struggled the most to account for this season. Kris Versteeg is hors de combat with a lower body wound, and I can't imagine that Winnipeg will shed any tears. He's killed them in transition this year, creating goals out of turnovers near the Jet blueline on a couple of occasions, so Florida will miss his speed on attack.
Gamewise, Florida has just seemed to be the quicker team off the mark at MTS Centre, outskating the Jets in the early portions of the games before going into the shell with a lead, so a proper start would go a ways to securing a win. The other thing that might be nice is if the Jets could get back to pressuring teams on the PK. They've scuffled when down a man for about a week straight save the St. Louis game, and Florida has scored 4 PP goals in the 4 games against Winnipeg this year, so better work on the kill and staying out of the box at all if possible is likely paramount.
Ondrej Pavelec not stinking out the joint would likely help as well, and in fairness to him, he hasn't played many poor games in succession, so with decent goaltending, Winnipeg should be in with a shout in a game they have to win in regulation to have any hope of finishing third in the East. Puck drop is 7:30-ish, with TV coverage on TSN Jets.
March 01 2012, 07:01PM
They signed enough free agents to be good. The question is are they the type of FAs who play good into their early thirties. Getting a low 2nd and 3rd round pk was very good value for Oduya. It would be nice to get high top 5-10 1st rd picks ever three yrs or so. The easiest way to do this might be to trade yrs ahead for the right to flip 1st rd picks. Scheifele and Kane and Burmistrov all gems. CBA might even change to make them more valuable if fan loyalty becomes important. Det and Van prove players can improve if regular line mates. Would've prefered to add AK if only costed a 2nd rounder. Game is must win. Gotta catch Washington or Fla and stay ahead of other teams. Unless Backstrom is gone for yr, I like catching Fla. And a high-scoring Col win.
