This elegant, easy-to-knit lace stole lends itself to infinite variation. Dimensions are for fingering weight yarn, but this design is suitable for any yarn, any gauge. As designed, the stole is symmetrical, knit from both sides to the center and grafted together. However, if you don't mind the lace pattern being asymmetrical, you can forego the grafting and knit the stole straight through from one end to the other. Instructions are included for both ways to knit the stole. Pattern contains 4 pages and is both charted and written out.

Kinda restrictive, but there it is. Since I only shoot at a range, it's not a problem unless the wife says "Can you pick me up something on the way home?" Legally, no. Weapon in the car even if locked is a big No-no.
I have a Maine Concealed Carry Permit, and will soon be taking the Utah course to be permitted in other states also.
What is the proper procedure to carry across any state that doesn't acknowledge these permits ?? (like my next door neighbor N.H.)
Trying to plan ahead and not stumble on any difficult times while traveling....
Thanks for any helpful info thats available......
Kinda restrictive, but there it is. Since I only shoot at a range, it's not a problem unless the wife says "Can you pick me up something on the way home?" Legally, no. Weapon in the car even if locked is a big No-no.
Sounds like RI is one of the places I'll never visit. How in the world can they enact such laws and not infringe on the right to keep and bear arms ? It's beyond the comprehension of this old country boy.
You get used to it, and having grown up in the even-more-restrictive UK it feels quite permissive here.
In other words, it works for me, but it isn't for everyone.
According to the "Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986":You must also meet your home state's legal requirement for the possession of the firearm and also in your final destination.One of the law's provisions was that persons traveling from one place to another cannot be incarcerated for a firearms offense in a state that has strict gun control laws if the traveler is just passing through (short stops for food and gas), provided that the firearms and ammunition are not immediately accessible, that the firearms are unloaded and, in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver's compartment, the firearms are located in a locked container.[11]
Under this provision, someone driving from Virginia to a competition in Vermont with a locked hard case containing an unloaded handgun and a box of ammunition in the trunk could not be prosecuted in New Jersey or New York City for illegal possession of a handgun provided that the individual did not stop in New Jersey or New York for an extended period of time.
See 18 USC § 926A http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/926A
Did you know you can get a NH Non-Resident Permit for $100 good for 4 years. I got one just in case I travel north.
Disclaimer; It is up to you to verify any state law but this is a good starting point.
Thanks everyone....This gives me a starting point to build from
With all this talk about constitutional carry going on, I think a lot of new CCW people might be waiting out the decisions of their states. Personally in the current climate, I am still awaiting the decision in my state, though I don't hold out much hope, it's not like this is Vermont. I wish the entire country would just be done with the debate already. Having to take a test, and submit all your information and pay a damn fee is just a money grab as well as having your name on file should it be necessary when the crazy anti-gun Nazi's come knocking.
so, I guess if I ever get a boat large enough to cruise to Newport or somewhere else there, I won't be able to bring my guns? That's it. scratch that trip off my bucket list.
I live in SE NH. When I visit the Kittery Trading Post just across the boarder in ME I show the guy at the door that I'm carrying. The two states 'legally' don't recognize each other but the guy at the door doesn't give a **** about that.
When I visit relatives in PA I carry. I'm a strong believer that it's better to be judged by 7 than carried by 6. So I carry on me or in my car where ever I go and just don't put a big sign on my car that says "GUN INSIDE" and I keep my mouth shut. Since I don't do drugs or smoke wacky tabacky or drive in a a manner to get stopped I don't worry too much. I've never seen a cop road block for weapons check either. Should I get stopped, there is no reason to suggest the LEO should search the car. Even so, I have permit from my home state and I don't look like I came from IRAQ. There's the laws and there's what gets enforced.
As far as universal recognition goes: If you were a state that required a week of training before being qualified to carry how would you feel about accepting some guy from NH who just has to fill out a simple one page form and pay $10?
If you're interested, the SigSauer academy in Epping has classes at several different levels for gun owners, including tactical classes.
Alabama population: 4,833,722
Murder rate: .0000719 (347 murders)
Violent crime rate: .00418 (20,210 violent crimes)
Rhode Island population: 1,530,000
Murder rate: .0000215 (33 murders)
Violent crime rate: .0113 (17,438 violent crimes)
As you can see, not a staggering difference in murder rate, and RI actually has a higher violent crime rate than AL. When you consider the areas where the majority of violent crimes occur, the numbers are even more alarming. Alarming to the fact that where the populace is armed, crime rates are much lower than where the populace has been effectively disarmed. Why anyone thinks "gun control" works is beyond me. You'd think RIs crime rates would be drastically lower than say the redneck, gun-loving state of Alabama. Something to think about as you travel.

At Chapters Capistrano, we like to help our guests master the tools that will better help them enjoy waking life sober; however, in order to lead a healthy, enjoyable life, sleep is a necessity. Sleep restores us; it gives our body a chance to relax, process and repair. However, with tens of millions of Americans struggling with sleep disorders it is clear that many are not getting the rest they need. Unfortunately, addiction is often at the heart of these sleeping problems.
Sleeping on Substances
Substance abuse can impact sleep in so many different ways, depending on the nature of the drug and any existing sleep issues that an individual may face. Many drugs, including painkillers, marijuana and alcohol, are falsely believed to help promote sleep, due to their sedative qualities. Still, these sedatives carry dangerous risk—especially when used in the long term.
For example, alcoholism may allow an individual to fall asleep and even encourage drowsiness. However, while the individual is sleeping while intoxicated, his or her natural processes are interrupted, dramatically reducing the quality of sleep that is required to stay functional and alert during the day.
In other cases, those who are addicted to stimulants may find that sleep is impossible—and undesired. Not only do these drugs harm the body's organs over time, but they can also drastically shift an individual's ability to gain normal rest.
Whether using depressants or stimulants, it is essential to recognize that drugs are not the answer to find sleep—or to stay away from it. Abusing substances will set circadian rhythms off course and damage the overall quality of sleep a person gets. Over time, addicts will witness greater struggles with awareness, agility and energy due to lack of quality sleep. This result may encourage even more addictive behaviors if individuals find that substances are necessary to avoid the problems caused by lack of sleep.
Addicted to Sleep
As noted by the CDC, approximately 60 million Americans suffer from a sleeping disorder—ranging from insomnia to oversleeping. In many cases, doctors may recognize these issues and prescribe sleep aids with high risk for addiction—such as Ambien, Ativan and Klonopin. While many may feel that these medications help promote a restful sleep, many disregard the risk of abuse that they carry.
It is hard to recognize signs of substance abuse of sleeping aids, especially if they are taken regularly as prescribed. If you rely on these drugs to gain sleep, it is imperative to speak with a physician about the potential presence and risk of addiction.
Recovering for Rest
Through medically-assisted detox, counseling and wellness programs, addiction recovery from Chapters Capistrano is a strong option for improving the body while simultaneously becoming sober.
If you or a loved one is finding that addiction is impairing quality of sleep, it is imperative to seek professional guidance as soon as possible. In addition, it is important to understand that it is possible to treat sleep disorders and addiction at the same time to improve chances for whole health and wellness. Through dual diagnosis modalities, our team will work to help design solutions for better sleep and sobriety.
Contact Chapters Capistrano today at 1-888-831-1553 to learn more about how our flexible treatment improves overall wellness, as well as how our dual diagnosis approaches can improve sleep disorders that occur alongside substance abuse.

Kibbe's Theatrical Romantic
Romantic with a Dramatic undercurrent
Your position on the Yin/Yang scale is: soft Yin with a slight Yang undercurrent. Physically, you are delicate in bone structure and soft in body type, with delicate and full facial features (eyes, lips, cheeks). This is your extreme Yin foundation, which is overpoweringly dominant. Your slight Yang undercurrent comes from a slight sharpness to your bone structure, possibly shoulders, jawline, or nose. Innately, you are artistic, sensitive, eerily magnetic, and extraordinarily charming (Yin). As a hidden attraction, you possess steely resolve, unrelenting drive, enormous will, and a bold, creative and innovative outlook on life (Yang). Again, with your inner nature, the Yin is dominant, the Yang secondary. While both must be evident in your appearance, it is vital to keep them in their natural order. This may confuse you at times; the Yang qualities may seem to be such strong characteristics that your might be seduced into believing they are your major qualities as well as the source of your strength. This is not true! The old saying, "You'll catch more flies with honey," was created specifically for you!
Always bear in mind that you are a Romantic first and foremost. Your Dramatic undercurrent should always be used in small doses to theatrically add high-fashion flair to your appearance. It subtly sharpens and focuses your look as an after-thought, while the Yin foundation of delicacy, feminine beauty, charm, and grace provides the cornerstone of your look. It is not a substitution. It is only a slight addition to express that extra bit of Yang present in your being.
To express your soft Yin/slight Yang total essence, we want to develop an appearance that could best be described as: Femme Fatale Chic.
Your overall direction is to showcase your curvy body with elegantly soft and fluid clothing, always distinctly defining the waist. At the same time, frame your beautiful face with an abundance of intricate detail and accessories, including lavish hair and makeup. This provides your Yin basis.
On tope of this, your Yang undercurrent is expressed through strategic tapering and sharp shoulders, with shoulder pads a must. Also important to express your strength and assurance is an ensemble-approach that inspires head-to-toe outfits, with very sophisticated and glamorous accessories that suggest drop-dead entrances that suggest drop-dead entrances!
Lines are always curvy, while shapes are rounded and ornate. Fabrics provide extra softness by being lightweight and ultra-draped. Stiff fabrics, straight lines, and geometry are to be avoided at all costs! They will make you seem severe, cold, and even slightly dumpy.
Detail is both intricate and lavish. Excess detail is utterly sophisticated on you, as long as it is used sensually and creatively instead of innocently or "little girlishly." Bows, jabots, ruffles, draped necklines, gathers, tucks, scalloped edges, lacy trim, and anything bejeweled are stunning and elegant on you.
Jewelry should also have the intricate workmanship/lavish effect so evocative of your lovely sensitivity and powerful charm. Here again, shapes are always rounded and ornate, with clusters, dangles, swirls, and curves being the graceful complement to your look. Avoid geometrics and chunky pieces, which are simply at odds with your delicate bone structure. Pieces can and should definitely be large and glittery-size gives you the extra drama. You're really at your most sophisticated when you seem to be "dripping in diamonds." This can be as literal as your pocketbook affords, but bear in mind that there are enormous amounts of stunning faux jewelry available today, as well.
Even your most conservative, daytime attire needs at least a hint of glamour and delicacy-perhaps a crisply clustered or swirled earring with a tiny sparkle or dangle, for example. Suggesting your innate glamour is the clearest way to visually express your confidence and self-assuredness.
Your accessories should be chosen with great love and care. Shoes are delicate and either very tapered, strappy, or ornate. No chunky clunkers or angular Italian pumps, please! Bags are small, rounded, and delicate; they should be made of exquisite leather or fabric and have narrow shoulder straps and detail of gathering or trim. In fact, by looking at your when you are completely pulled together, we should get the feeling that inside your closet is an entire wardrobe of shoes, bags, and jewelry! Your artistry is most clearly expressed in this area, so go as wild as your passions dictate here.
The final touches of sophistication, elegance, and elan in your appearance come from an elaborate finish of well-coiffed hair and polished makeup.
Hair should always be soft and stylized, never sleek, severe, or uncared-for. If you keep your hair long, it will definitely require an ornate set. You'll work best with a softly teased style, just be sure it never looks stiff! If your hair is short, you may opt for a wave or perm to strive for a 1930's marcelled look, which is quite glamorous on you. An asymmetrical cut is possible if it includes cascading curls or waves.
Your makeup should be watercolor blended with no angles or heavy contouring, which is very severe on you. Colors range from the pastel to the right, but leave the smoky and neutral for someone else! They'll only look stark and hard on you. Even in a conservative daytime setting, they are not at all helpful in getting your message across. On the other hand, a bit of sparkle and gloss is more in keeping with your essence: subtle for day, but an ultra-glittering face in the evening expresses your inner sparkle to perfection! Even dab your hair with a little glitter-dust if your dare!
This is the best way to clearly express your stunning combination of arresting magnetism, feminine delicacy, crystal-clear logic, and bold creativitiy. You are both a ravishing beauty and a powerful leader. Please don't leave either part of yourself out of your appearance!
It is by always remember to softly-pedal your drive and authoritative spirit that you succeed in life most brilliantly. Your "steel hand" requires a velvet glove or it'll be just too hard for us to take, and you'll court rejection!
If you fail to make your Romantic charm the strong foundation in your appearance, you will come across as strident and irritating. Without your natural grace and delicacy, your powerful magnetism will instantly lose its pull.
On the other hand, if you don't take bold risks with your appearance, if you don't take bold risks with your appearance, if you don't opt for some creative flair and original, high-fashion sophistication, you run the risk of being dismissed as a dilettante, a courtesan, or simply a bored matron! Have a clear concept of each outfit, execute it with passion, and don't be afraid of getting some quite powerful attention.
Let us be drawn to you first by your extra-glittering charm and beauty, then impress us with your clarity, your knowledge, your talents, and your innovative ideas. Believe me, with this combination, your success is assured.
Examples of Theatrical Romantics:
Jaclyn Smith, Donna Mills, Vivien Leigh
NOTE: The following information should be taken as a broad outline of what makes a Theatrical Romantic. It is the overall combination of extreme Yin with a slight Yang undercurrent that creates this Image Identity category. Therefore, slight deviation here or there is always possible and should not be worried over if it does not upset your Yin/Yang balance of a delicately radiant physicality that is combined with a powerfully magnetic essence.
Moderate to petite, usually 5 feet 5 inches and under.
Soft and voluptuous, although trim and smallish (as opposed to wide and bulky).
Hourglass figure; curvy bustline and hips with a waspish waist.
Soft or fleshy arms and legs.
Small and delicate.
Slightly sharp edges (shoulders, jawline, cheekbones, or nose).
Small hands and feet (in proportion to height).
Facial bones are small, delicate, and slightly sharp.
Soft and lush.
Large, luminous eyes (sometimes slightly upturned; sometimes slightly "bedroom").
Full, luscious lips.
Soft cheeks.
Soft and luxurious to the touch.
May be very silky and wispy, or thick and wavy/curly.
Any coloring is possible (warm or cool, high-contrast or blended), but a Theatrical Romantic usually is quite vivid, with a delicate complexion that is luminous or translucent.
The figure will remain hourglass, with a defined waist. Upper arms, thighs, and face will become quite fleshy.
*be extremely tall
*have large or wide bones
*have large hands and feet
*have extremely prominent facial bones or features
*have small, narrow eyes, and thin or straight lips
*have a boyishly straight figure devoid of a defined waist
Soft Yin with a slight Yang undercurrent.
Shapes should be rounded, intricate, and ornate. A slight sharpness at the edge or a tendency to the slightly oversized is good.
Avoid: Geometrics and symmetrical shapes. Chunky or bulky shapes. Sharp, severe shapes.
Silhouettes should be hourglass, emphasizing the curves and showcasing the waist. The waist should be sharply defined and the shoulders should be crisply padded. Tapering at the wrists, hemline, and knee areas.
Lines should be soft, draped, flowing, clingy, ornate, and intricate.
Avoid: All severe silhouettes. All over-sized or unconstructed silhouettes. All tailored silhouettes. All straight lines. All sharp lines. All wide or horizontal lines. All long vertical lines that hide the waist.
Fabric should be lightweight and drapable for soft fluidity (silks, jersey, challis, crepe, handkerchief linen, etc.). Soft textures, a plush pile (suede, velvet, shantung, etc.), sheer fabrics and shiny fabrics are all excellent. Fluffy knits (angora, boucle, etc.) are extremely effective.
Avoid: Stiff fabrics. Heavyweight fabrics. Rough textures. Dull-finished fabrics.
Detail should be intricate, ornate, delicate, and quite lavish. An excess of detail and trim is important to help frame and focus the face. Bows, sheer lace, jabots, soft ruffles, and sparkly appliqué are excellent.
Necklines should be soft and draped or shirred and gathered. Shoulders should be padded but curved. Shoulder tucks, gathers, and bouffant shapes are perfect. Sleeves should be tapered at the wrist; delicate and ornate buttons and trim are advisable.
Waistline should always be emphasized.
Gathers, shirring, and draping at the waist are necessary for softness and intricacy.
Avoid: Plain or minimal detail. Sharp or severe detail. Extremely oversized, bulky detail. Symmetrical, subdued detail. Crisp, "perky" detail.
Your separates should always include an artful blending of plush textures, draped fabrics, and luxurious colors so you never disrupt the soft fluidity of line. Always avoid any kind of harsh contrast between top and bottom.
Jackets should be short and nipped at the waist. Flouncy peplums that flair out or hang down in the back are best. Lapels can be very ornate, with scalloped edges, braiding, or bejeweled trim-or slightly pointed and peaked. Shawl lapels are also effective. Trim should always be ornate.
Avoid: Severely tailored jackets. Unconstructed, boxy jackets. Traditional blazer styles. Long jackets that hide the waist.
Skirts should be soft and shapely. Your version of a "straight" skirt is actually tulip-shaped, with some gathering at the waist and a narrow taper at the hem. This type of hemline should be short, no longer than just below the knee. The other type of skirt that you wear equally well is a softly flowing skirt with an uneven hem. This will be longer, at least mid calf. Skirts should have intricate detail, such as draping, shirring, gathers, or bias-cut pieces. Trumpets, sarongs, and circles are all good shapes.
Avoid: Severe or straight skirts. Traditional tailored styles (A-lines, pencil-slim styles, etc). Wide, shapeless styles. Long hemlines (except on uneven hems that drape or flow). Sharp pleats.
Pants should always be soft and draped, showcasing your curvy figure. Gathers, draping, or shirring at the waist, and a narrow or tapered ankle. Pants should be short (ending at the ankle).
Avoid: Straight, tailored styles. Sharp details (pleats, cuffs, pockets). Baggy, unconstructed styles.
Soft, silky and draped styles with draped or ornate detail and lavish, intricate trim.
Avoid: Stiffly tailored styles with sharp detail. Unconstructed, shapeless styles.
Plush, fluffy knits with soft necklines, ornate trim, and lavish patterns. Short, shaped styles that are fitted at the waist and wrists.
Avoid: Heavy, bulky knits. Skinny ribbed knits. Plain styles, such as cardigans, crew-necked Shetlands, etc. Shapeless, baggy styles.
Dresses should always be feminine and shapely. Defined shoulders, waist emphasis, and intricate detail (shirring, gathers, sparkles, appliqué, etc.). Soft and draped necklines; tapered wrists; and a tapered hemline if short, flared hemline if long. Lightweight fabrics with sheen or plush-ness and luscious colors complete the picture.
Avoid: Sharply tailored styles. Unconstructed styles. Long, "no waist" styles. Symmetrical, subdued styles.
Your use of color should be bright and lush, emphasizing a watercolor blend or bright/light motif. Some sharp contrast is exciting; however, you will always want some vivid color in your outfits. Pastels can also be quite elegant if you mix them with light accessories. Dark colors can be too stark for you unless you break them up with vivid accents, or use them in the evening in very glamorous fabrics with sheen or plushness (charmeuse, satin, lace or velvet).
Avoid: Head-to-toe "darks" (too stark). Head-to-toe "neutrals" (too tiring). Monochromatic schemes (too dull).
Prints should be vivid and luscious, with the emphasis on an abstract or watercolor blend. Swirls of color, intricate and ornate shapes, and wild florals are best. Rounded or feathered edges are lovely, as are vivid color combinations. Size should be moderate to large.
Avoid: Geometrics. Animated, "perky" styles. Small symmetrical styles. Stripes and plaids.
Should always be feminine, intricate, and ornate. Invest in high quality here, for these are crucial details in polishing your look and providing elegance and sophistication.
Delicate, feminine styles. Strappy pumps with open backs and toes. Ornate trim. Feminine flate.
Avoid: Basic pumps. Angular pumps. Chunky styles. Plain styles.
Small, rounded shapes. Ornate, intricate trim (gathers, tucks, beads, etc.). Lightweight, supple leather. Fabric bags. Delicate shoulder straps. Elegantly narrow briefcase or unusual material such as ostrich and suede.
Belts should be worn whenever possible to showcase the waist. Soft, supple belts, moderate to wide (crushy). Ornate and intricate buckles. Bejeweled and beaded styles.
Avoid: Stiff styles. Narrow, self-belts. Slim, subdued styles.
Rounded shapes, crisp brims. Picture frames. Small, chic cocktail hats with veils or ornate trim.
Avoid: Sharp, man-tailored hats. Floppy hats. Crisp caps or ethnic hats.
Should always be ultra-sheer. Lacy textures are excellent. A "light leg" with the stocking and shoe blending together several shades lighter than your hemline is elegant and sophisticated, and very effective when you are wearing your luscious bright colors or soft pastels. Darker hemlines will require a darker stocking, but keep it as translucent as possible. Silk stockings and a touch of sparkly trim can be stunning for evening fun.
Jewelry is your most important accessory. You simply can't wear too much of it (when it's the right kind), and you simply can't do without it! It provides elegance, glamour, and sophistication.
Shapes are intricate, ornate, rounded, swirling, baroque, and rococo.
Sparkly materials are essential (crystal, gems, glass, polished metal, etc.) even for daytime, although you can suggest, rather than pour it on here. In the evening, go for broke-and trail your jewels behind you!
Just remember to keep the combination of delicate/lavish working together-delicate in workmanship, lavish in effect!
Avoid: Geometrics. Sharp, severe, or avant-garde pieces. Chunky pieces. Rough, heavy, or ethnic pieces. Small, symmetrical pieces. A "no jewelry" look.
Fitted shapes with ornate trim and waist emphasis. Cleavage emphasis. Draped fabrics. Sparkly fabrics. Plush fabrics. Theatrical ensembles.
Form-fitting gowns with cleavage emphasis
Shirred and draped cocktail dresses
Fitted dinner suits with peplum jackets and ornate trim
Bustier dresses
Hair should be lavish and ornate, adding the extra special touch of stylization to your Image Identity. The shape should be rounded, soft, and as full as possible. Waves, perms, sets, teasing, and the like are all potential pluses for you. Just remember to keep the hair soft, never stiff. If your hair is long, it should be elaborate and voluminous in a very well-cared-for manner. If you hair is on the short side, it should look superstylized and coiffed. The cut will require some layering for curve.
Avoid: Severe styles. Geometric cuts. Blunt-edged cuts. Overly layered hair. Wash 'n wear styles.
If you want to color your hair, choose shades that are rich and vibrant. You are striving for a glamorous haircolor, which means intense; browns are rich, reds are fiery, blonds are bright, and black is jet! As you gray, you will probably want to cover it, although dramatic silver streaks can be quite theatrical if you are lucky enough to have inherited them!
Avoid: Overly pale colors (except platinum). Highlights that are meant to "soften" the color-"soft equals "tired" in this case! Salt and pepper hair, unless the base color is very dark and the streaks are silvery white.
Makeup provides the icing for your cake, and should be very polished, colorful, and watercolor soft. A touch of sparkle is always refined and sophisticated, even for daytime, and evening makeup can glitter away! Soft and bright colors should be artfully blended around the eyes while the cheeks should be rosy and the lips glossy.
Avoid: Overly dark shades and heavy contouring (too stark). Neutrals or smoky makeup (very tiring and aging). Minimal makeup (not a chance, you ornate jewel!).
Extreme, soft Yin with a slight Yang undercurrent.
The Shimmering Face: Bright and sparkly colors softly swirled together. Slight depth and accentuation of bone structure. Very Soft and glamorous effect.
Eyes: Lots of sparkle. Deep, smudged outer lid color with bright orbital bone and colorful highlighter. Dark, smudged eyeliner and lots of mascara.
Blush: Soft, sparkly, and slightly rounded.
Lips: Very full, very bright, very luscious, and very glossy.
Avoid: A matte or smoky face with no sparkle or color. Heavy contouring and sharp angles.

Lipsticks should be frosted unless noted otherwise. You can soften the effect of your reds by adding a topcoat of a lighter shade. Always add heavy gloss.
Eyeliner should always be in the same tone as the lid color, but several shades deeper.
All your eyeshadows should have iridescence. The hightlighter should be the most frosted of your shades, while the orbital bone should be the brightest and most visible shade on your eye. Lid color may be slightly smoky and smudged, used as a soft accent.
Kibbe's prime Theatrical Romantic celebrity- Vivien Leigh
Theatrical Romantic from Kibbe's book 'Metamorphosis'
Before & After:
When Joni first came to me, I was presented with a delicate, birdlike creature hidden under mounds of oversized and sharply angular clothes that gave her the appearance of a severe-looking matron. Yet I knew instantly that this was an illusion having nothing at all to do with the glamorous creature lurking right beneath the surface!
After analyzing Joni's small, sharp bone structure, her delicately curvy body, her rounded facial features, and her fragile facial bones (extreme Yin, with a slight Yang undercurrent), it was easy to see that an opposite approach was needed. Instead of her heavy, severe look, Joni needed to showcase her exquisitely elegant femininity, and allow her innate glamour to sparkle.
My prescription for Joni's metamorphosis: Emphasize her curves in a tapered hourglass silhouette with strategic crispness at the shoulders, waistline, wrists, and knees. An ornate neckline to frame her face, lavish but intricate jewelry, and a halo of soft curls add the final touches of Yin delicacy with a slight touch of Yang theatricality.
Finally, her makeup and haircolor both complete her super-glamorous total look and complement her warm, fiery coloring. Rich, yellow-based shades of sparkly cosmetics are softly blended with only the merest hint of contouring. A deep auburn haircolor adds the polish to Joni's transformation from stark and too-too trendy to femme fatale a la Rita Hayworth!
The most thrilling aspect of Joni's metamorphosis is that at last her sensitivity and warmth, which so completely characterize her inner spirit, are clearly on display for the entire world to appreciate and love!

Malgudi Days
by R. K. Narayan
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Reading these stories I realized how much India has changed, but people remain the same. Living in a suburb, I cannot relate to all the characters but there are several that I can identify. He's a true master.
Perhaps the less acquainted one is with India the more impressed one might be by these stories. I can't otherwise explain their popularity. I don't mean that unkindly, they are a wonderful insight into the real India, of town and villages. And yes, they are universal tales of adversity, triumph and despair set on the human scale. Stories of the good and the morally ambiguous that resonate with the reader. But my strongest impression of Narayan here is that he tries too hard to search out the pathos and the moral fable. You can see what he is aiming at. These should be tales of the slightest events that touch a person momentarily, but send ripples out that disturb (and mark their real significance to) the universe - visible to those that make the effort to see, or feel. So that the reader steps forward toward the story and becomes part of the process of telling and listening. But the deftness I'm looking for isn't there, for the most part. Too often these stories seem to shout at the reader. The events and characters are blunt, but that's expected. In short stories, and moral fables, the characters and events are in many ways ciphers - they carry the story and the idea along. My grievance is with the fabric of the stories, the warp and weft. Essentially it's the lack of elaboration, the tone of the story-teller, that I miss in these stories. That said, there are some gems here. And they nearly all relate to stories of cats and dogs. How do I rate this book then? Well, sort the wheat from the chaff, and treasure the gems.
I really should have read Malgudi Days a long time ago – I'm not sure why I never got around to it. R. K. Narayan is one of India's most famous writers, and this is a collection of his short stories, set in and around the fictional south Indian town of Malgudi. Most of the stories are slice-of-life, set from the perspective of a variety of people, from poor beggars and food vendors to schoolboys to rich nonagenarians. Some of them are touching, some are humourous, some are ironic, and some just are. They work really well together to describe the various kinds of people that make up a small town in India.
R. K. Narayan's style of writing is really simple and unpretentious, but every word he writes conveys so much. His characters are all really approachable, and they might even seem simple, but it is my opinion that it's really hard to do simplicity well, and no one is better at it than Narayan.
Pretty much all of the stories are about a single minor incident that occurs in the protagonist's life, and how they react to it. A retired security guard receives a letter in the mail and is driven almost insane by the thought of what it might contain. An old gardener has to say goodbye to the house he has worked in for decades. A man takes temporary responsibility for a lost child and dreams about the family he might have had.
One of the most amazing things about Narayan's writing is how much sympathy he can arouse for almost any character in a couple of paragraphs. His stories are often about very different people, often flawed or annoying, but they're inevitably lovable, no matter what stupid decisions they make. I often get unreasonably frustrated with characters that have lapses of judgement, so this is truly a remarkable feat.
Originally posted on my blog.
Malgudi Days, written by R.K Narayan, chronicles the lives of people in the fictional town of Malgudi. The stories, which share the lives of everyone from entrepreneurs to beggars, all take place in and near this Indian village. Thus the heart and the soul of that village is on display and we find it is a place where most people are haunted by illiteracy and unemployment. Yet despite the ubiquity of the poor many of the stories come across with humorous good-natured episodes of their lives. Among the stories the reader meets an astrologer, a gatekeeper, and a young man yearning to pass the examinations. There are also animals including a forlorn dog who befriends a blind man and a ferocious tiger (perhaps a hint of Narayan's short novel, A Tiger for Malgudi). Above all there is a pervasive irony that reminded me of other short story stylists from O'Henry to Chekhov and Gogol. More often a character's dreams or expectations do not lead to the results he desires. This keeps the reader guessing as to what the next story will show in the lives of people who become endlessly fascinating, if only for the reason that you have met them before in your own town. In his introduction R. K. Narayan observes that "I can detect Malgudi characters even in New York: for instance, West Twenty-third Street . . possesses every element of Malgudi, with its landmarks and humanity remaining unchanged--"(p 2).
Following publication of this collection, the stories in this book were made into both serials and cinema. Through these tales the author, R.K Narayan, captures the readers' heart with his journey through the village of Malgudi and its' not so unfamiliar denizens.
Sweet collection of short stories set in a small South Indian town. A highlight for me was the story about the Astrologer.

- Dinner at Josh and Jami's. I'm always amazed by how much their kids have grown in between our visits. And it was quite adorable to see 3-year-old Hallie help Jami bake halah. Jami is the queen of baking (I'm at "princess" status myself) and I know she's super excited that Hallie is as helpful as she is.
- I dragged myself to the gym. I've been slacking lately, but I'm trying to get back into my kick ass routine.
- We ran a few errands then attended the 30th birthday party of my dear friend Atineh.
- The party was held at a swanky modern club in Downtown LA called the Blue Velvet Room. And Atineh instructed us to be sure to check out the bathroom before we left. What could be the big deal? Well, it's a unisex bathroom. Even with the warning, I was still surprised when I entered the room for myself. The sink area sits in the middle of the room and is HUGE. It features four motion-censored sinks and huge fake blue bonsai trees.
(I didn't take that picture. I already feel self-conscious enough snapping away, and I just couldn't do it in the middle of a bathroom with so many people nearby. Thanks to the magic of the internet, I didn't have to do it myself. Phew.) I'd like to go back and try some of the food. What we saw looked amazing.
- Two former co-workers of mine also attended the party. We were chatting about various foods and one of them asked us if we could eat only two cheeses for the rest of our lives, what would it be? My first immediate answer was burrata. I was stumped for my second answer. Brent noted that he might choose burrata, too, but he might go with feta instead. His other selection might be another cheese like sharp cheddar to balance out the softness of his first choice. He said it was a tough decision, one that he'd be thinking about for a while. And he's right - he was still talking about it today. How about you? What two cheeses would you choose if you could only eat two for the rest of your life?
- Brent and I strolled the local farmer's market, where we picked up some amazing produce. The weather was picture perfect and I enjoyed sipping on my tiger spice chai (a spicier, more flavorful chai) while people-watching.
- I spent the early evening at another baby shower for Wan. It was a beautiful event, filled with lots of pink (awesome!), friends and family and of course, love. It also featured yummy treats, a candy buffet, adorable gifts and games (two of which I won, including a group win with my other pals there - woo hoo!) And Wan is as radiant as ever!

Desperate Climate Scientists Blame Bad Weather On Global Warming
After decades of debunking and statements by responsible scientists that climate is not weather and individual anomalies are not an indication of climate change, the government funded IPCC lackeys at the UK's Met Office and America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have publicly attributed recent bad weather events to man-made climate change. These irresponsible boffins' shrill claims illustrate the desperation in the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) camp in the face of declining public concern over climate change. While admitting that it is impossible to blame a single event on global warming, climate alarmists are claiming attribution is possible as long as it is framed in terms of probability. They have gone from lies, to damn lies and now, finally, to statistics.
As reported in that paragon of investigative journalism, the Huffington Post, the news originated from an online conference by NOAA personnel. "Climate Change, Extreme Weather Linked In Studies Examining Texas Drought And U.K. Heat," the headlines blared. And according to author Deborah Zabarenko the news is dire: 2011 was among 15 warmest years globally; Extreme weather events show influence of climate change; Greenhouse gas levels in atmosphere reaches new high. Citing the Huffington article:
Overall, 2011 was a year of extreme events - from historic droughts in East Africa, northern Mexico and the southern United States to an above-average cyclone season in the North Atlantic and the end of Australia's wettest two-year period ever, scientists from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the United Kingdom's Met Office said.
Of course, this information comes from the same news outlet that reported on a cat found buried alive in concrete—supposedly a warning from polygamist fundamentalists to their critics. High journalistic standards aside, it would be wise to ask where this report on environmental mayhem and human culpability originated.
The underlying document appears to be the 22nd annual "State of the Climate" report, which was published in the July 2012 issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. Moreover, along with the standard yearly report, which details global weather conditions during 2011, there is a new companion report, "Explaining Extreme Events of 2011 from a Climate Perspective," that attempts to identify the causes of weather conditions around the world. Here are the first two paragraphs of that report:
Every year, the Bulletin of the AMS publishes an annual report on the State of the Climate. That report does an excellent job of documenting global weather and climate conditions of the previous year and putting them into accurate historical perspective. But it does not address the causes. One of the reasons is that the scientists working at understanding the causes of various extreme events are generally not the same scientists analyzing the magnitude of the events and writing the State of the Climate. Another reason is that explaining the causes of specific extreme events in near-real time is severely stretching the current state of the science.
Our report is a way to foster the growth of this science. Other reports, such as those by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), have focused on understanding changes over longer time scales and larger geographic regions. For example, assessing the state of the climate and science, IPCC (Field et al. 2012) concluded that "it is likely that anthropogenic influences have led to warming of extreme daily minimum and maximum temperatures at the global scale" and that "there is medium confidence that anthropogenic influences have contributed to intensification of extreme precipitation at the global scale".
"Every weather event that happens now takes place in the context of a changing global environment," Deputy NOAA Administrator Kathryn Sullivan said in a statement. "This annual report provides scientists and citizens alike with an analysis of what has happened so we can all prepare for what is to come." Some other, more recent "events" cited on the associated State of the Climate website include:
- The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for May 2012 was 0.66°C (1.19°F) above the 20th century average of 14.8°C (58.6°F). This is the second warmest May since records began in 1880, behind only 2010.
- The Northern Hemisphere land and ocean average surface temperature for May 2012 was the all-time warmest May on record, at 0.85°C (1.53°F) above average.
- The globally-averaged land surface temperature for May 2012 was the all-time warmest May on record, at 1.21°C (2.18°F) above average.
- ENSO-neutral conditions continued during May 2012 and sea surface temperature anomalies in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean continued to warm. The May worldwide ocean surface temperatures ranked as the 10th warmest May on record.
- For March–May (boreal spring) 2012, the combined global land and ocean surface temperature was 0.59°C (1.06°F) above average—the seventh warmest such period on record.
- The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for January–May 2012 was the 11th warmest on record, at 0.50°C (0.90°F) above the 20th century average.
Click on the map below for a further list of "selected" climate events.
Selected significant climate anomalies and events.
After running down a list of extreme weather events and conditions the report goes on to offer an explanation: rising levels of greenhouse gases (what a shock!). Supposedly, the global average atmospheric concentration for carbon dioxide went over 390 parts per million for the first time, chalking up an annual increase of 2.1 ppm in 2010. What isn't mentioned is that this is a distinctly lower rate of increase than the IPCC types use in their calculations of impending eco-doom. Indeed, at this rate it would take almost 200 years to double the current level of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Slowing GHG accumulation not withstanding, what can be said about the list of "extreme" conditions? The first is to notice that, while the temperatures are cited as among the warmest humans have measured, they are not outstandingly so. They claim 7th warmest, 11th warmest, and 10th warmest for various cited statistics. Furthermore, the period over which these temperatures are noteworthy is only a century or so. Science simply does not have any direct data (i.e. temperature measurement) before that. Given that there were a number of very warm periods prior to today—the Medieval Warm Period (950 AD – 1250 AD), the Roman Warm Period (~250 BC – 400 AD) and the warmest of them all, the Holocene Climate Optimum (10000 BC – 6000 BC)—it is clearly ludicrous to claim any set of modern temperature measurements reflects the most extreme conditions ever encountered.
Have temperatures been rising over the last 100 years? Yes. Is this unprecedented or unnatural? No! Science has such a short period of accurate global temperature readings—no more than a few decades worth—to try and draw conclusions from the variation within those data is a fools game. Particularly when proxy data have shown centuries long temperature cycles in the past. We simply do not know how hot it was globally during the other warm periods in the past, so getting a worked up over a new high temperature in Chicago (for example) is silly.
This year, the US experienced an amazingly temperate winter and a scorching early summer heatwave, with more than 170 all-time heat records matched or broken. The chattering class of TV talking heads and on-screen "meteorologists" have made much of North America's bout of hot temperatures. At the same time, down under, Canberra experienced its coldest December since 1966 and its 5th coldest on record, with an average maximum temperature of just 23.6°C (75°F), 2.5 °C below the historical average. The cool average was associated with a lack of hot days during the month, with only seven days reaching 25 °C during December, well below the previous record of 9 days in December 1947. In comparison, Canberra typically experiences 18 days above 25°C and 7 days above 30°C during December.
Snowfall at Tinderry, about 50 kilometers south of Canberra on April 10, 2012.
That was during the summer. With the onset of winter, Canberra experienced its eighth straight freezing morning—that city's coldest stretch of winter mornings in 47 years. The mercury dropped to a frosty minus 4.8°C (23°F) on the morning of July 8, topping off eight consecutive mornings below minus 2.3°C. "The eight-day cold spell, with an average minimum temperature of minus 4.9, is the coldest string of July mornings since 1965," reported ACT News. "The all-time record was in July 1962, when the average temperature over an eight-day period was minus 7. " In fact, the whole of Australia was cooler than average with May being the fifth coolest in the nation's recorded history.
Other records, both highs and lows, have been set in various places around the world, all amounting to nothing of great importance. That is because the setting of such records does not indicate a trend over the long term (though they may well be part of a temporary heat wave of cold snap). Meanwhile, another aspect of the "global warming is causing rotten weather" fraud is the predicted intensification of the Atlantic hurricane season. The same US agency that is lying to the public about extreme temperatures being caused by AGW, NOAA, is quietly predicting that this years hurricane crop will be about average.
"We have increased our numbers slightly from our early April forecast, due largely to our uncertainty as to whether an El Nino will develop later this summer as well as somewhat marginal Atlantic basin conditions," Phil Klotzbach, lead author of the forecasts said in a release. In the face of another average hurricane season prediction, global warming catastrophists remain unsurprisingly silent. Still, much was made of having two early named storms in both the Pacific and the Atlantic. Indeed, the Colorado State based forecasting team made their forecast based on a new system that relies on 29 years of historical data including early season storms.
The team's founder and respected forecaster, William Gray, said pre-June-1 tropical cyclone activity historically has little bearing on the rest of the hurricane season. "The only two seasons on record with two named storms prior to June 1 were 1887 and 1908," Gray reports. "While 1887 was a very active season, 1908 had average levels of activity. The last season with a U.S. landfall prior to June 1 was 1976, which was a relatively quiet season."
Again, the span of reliable, comprehensive data is limited to a few decades. It is only since the age of satellites that every swirling tropical storm is identified, named and tracked. Go back a century or so and most tropical storms never got reported unless some unfortunate ship crossed the storm's path or it made landfall in a populated area. As it stands, we haven't had a major hurricane hit the US in almost seven years. Isn't it amazing how, when some natural catastrophe strikes, the warmist disinformation squads immediately pop-up to shout "global warming!" When no catastrophe is in the offing they remain mute.
Having reviewed the wicked weather during 2011 it should be noticed that the BAMS yearly climate report is widely respected and competently done—but it is a report about what happened, climate wise, during the past year. The second, tag-along report claiming to explain why those things happened is something new. An attempt by the climate change clique to attach themselves to a respected scientific publication that had managed to steer clear of the controversy surrounding global warming and the great climate change scam.
It seems that this latest ploy by the climatically challenged is to claim that heatwaves, droughts and such are normal but they are happening more frequently because global warming is amplifying the effects of normal weather cycles like El Niño and La Niña. Attribution is possible, say the warmists, as long as it is framed in terms of probability, rather than certainty. Instead of claiming global warming caused a heat wave, researchers could gauge how much more or less likely the heat wave was in a world where the climate is changing. This is all based on a methodology by an informal group of scientists, the Attribution of Climate-Related Events group (ACE) and their weapon of choice is statistics.
Probability of extreme precipitation, 1951-99.
For example, adding climate change to La Niña makes a Texas heat wave 20 times more likely than it would have been 50 years ago, claims Peter Stott of the Hadley Centre Met Office. "By some measures, 2011 was the warmest, driest growing season in the Texas record," Stott said. "Both Texas and England felt the warming effects of the La Niña weather-making pattern but climate change pushed these influences to extremes."
Even the authors of one of the papers in the addendum report recognize that they are simply grasping at probabilistic straws. "Natural low frequency internal variability of the climate system also affects the intensity and frequency of temperature and precipitation extremes, generally with a mixed pattern of increasing and decreasing responses depending on regions and seasons," state Zwiers et al. in the section labeled "Historical Content." After citing the "high spatial variability" of rainfall and the strong influences of persistent, cyclic climate variations like El Niño, they go on to conclude:
Any human influence on extreme weather risk combines with these episodic variations and the chance fluctuations that are inevitable when dealing with rare events; hence we should not assume that, if human influence is making a particular type of event more likely over time, it will necessarily occur with greater than average likelihood every year.
In other words, the impact of the calculated probabilities in this odds based gambit to prove anthropogenic global warming is actually influencing the world's weather can be counted on to remain unmeasurable. In truth, there is not anywhere near enough reliable, global data to establish a baseline that would allow such statistical attribution. Statistical models can be constructed, but they will only represent the past half century's worth of data. They will not be representative of the Earth system over the 15 century span of the Holocene and will be unable to predict what the future will bring. Science that does not make predictions, that does not provide a way to empirically measure those predictions, is not science at all. What this is is pure bunk.
Be safe, enjoy the interglacial and stay skeptical.
The world's not getting warmer!
A new paper in Nature Climate Change presents a 2000+ year climate history based on tree ring data and the trend is unmistakeable cooling! They also state that temperatures during previous warm periods has been underestimated. Here is the abstract:
- Solar insolation changes, resulting from long-term oscillations of orbital configurations1, are an important driver of Holocene climate. The forcing is substantial over the past 2,000 years, up to four times as large as the 1.6 W m−2 net anthropogenic forcing since 1750 (ref. 4), but the trend varies considerably over time, space and with season5. Using numerous high-latitude proxy records, slow orbital changes have recently been shown6 to gradually force boreal summer temperature cooling over the common era. Here, we present new evidence based on maximum latewood density data from northern Scandinavia, indicating that this cooling trend was stronger (−0.31 °C per 1,000 years, ±0.03 °C) than previously reported, and demonstrate that this signature is missing in published tree-ring proxy records. The long-term trend now revealed in maximum latewood density data is in line with coupled general circulation models indicating albedo-driven feedback mechanisms and substantial summer cooling over the past two millennia in northern boreal and Arctic latitudes. These findings, together with the missing orbital signature in published dendrochronological records, suggest that large-scale near-surface air-temperature reconstructions relying on tree-ring data may underestimate pre-instrumental temperatures including warmth during Medieval and Roman times.
The paper is at http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nclimate1589.html
Correctly done analysis
After scanning this paper I can say that these researchers have done a much more supportable job with their statistical analysis. Granted that proxy data have significant error margins, but they are not really looking for absolute temperature readings. Rather, they are looking at the trend over two millennia, a respectable span of time compared to a few decades used for most modeling and near-term analysis.
More significantly, these investigators know that their work has limitations and that there is a need for even longer time spans. Here is a paragraph from the NCC paper by Esper et al.:
It has been demonstrated that prominent, but shorter term climatic episodes, including the Medieval Warm Period and subsequent Little Ice Age, were influenced by solar output and (grouped) volcanic activity changes, and that the extent of warmth during medieval times varies considerably in space. Regression-based calculations over only the past millennium (including the twentieth century) are thus problematic as they effectively provide estimates of these forcings that typically act on shorter timescales. Accurate estimation of orbitally forced temperature signals in high-resolution proxy records therefore requires time series that extend beyond the Medieval Warm Period and preferably reach the past 2,000 years or longer.
As these researchers state, 2,000 years is just a start.
This is what global cooling really looks like
Anthony Watts has some analysis and commentary on the paper on the WUWT web site. Here is a sample:
Their findings demonstrate that this trend involves a cooling of -0.3°C per millennium due to gradual changes to the position of the sun and an increase in the distance between the Earth and the sun."This figure we calculated may not seem particularly significant," says Esper. "However, it is also not negligible when compared to global warming, which up to now has been less than 1°C. Our results suggest that the large-scale climate reconstruction shown by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) likely underestimate this long-term cooling trend over the past few millennia."
O agree with Anthony Watts
O agree with Anthony Watts comments. The solar system has a huge impact on global warming
So Long Holocene, We Hardly Knew Ya
Looks like this is turning into a bad week for the IPCC and the evil minions of climate extremism. First the Rio+20 debacle and the desperate statistical non-proof of AGW, now it turns out we have been edging toward a new glacial period all along. Keep driving those SUVs and enjoy what's left of the interglacial.

I would recommend you either believe God up to the hilt, or else not to believe at all. Believe this book of God, every letter of it, or else reject it. There is no logical standing place between the two. Be satisfied with nothing less than a faith that swims in the deeps of divine revelation; a faith that paddles about the edge of the water is poor faith at best. It is little better than a dry-land faith, and is not good for much. - C. H. Spurgeon

If Pixar has positioned itself as the classy Fred Astaire of animated films, the studio's main rival in the feature-length cartoon business, DreamWorks Animation, is the sassy, brassy Gene Kelly. Now the studio behind the wisecracking Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar franchises enters the holiday season unopposed in the children's market, and DreamWorks seems to have taken a page from Pixar's playbook: A tale of a plucky outsider on an identity quest.
The hero is Jack Frost, a minor figure in the children's pantheon, who awakened 300 years ago under a sheet of ice. Now he's a skateboarding, globe-hopping, hoodie-wearing adolescent experiencing an existential crisis. Though he spends his time happily enough, flitting about and invisibly playing winter games with groups of children in the snow, he wonders where he came from and what his purpose in life could be. And what's the point of being magic if no one recognizes you?
These questions get answered when Jack is summoned to join the Guardians, a team of supernatural beings committed to protecting the world's children, sustained, reciprocally, by children's belief in them. The leader, of course, is Santa Claus, only in this version he has the build of a retired pro wrestler who speaks with a Russian accent (voiced by Alec Baldwin), with the words "naughty"and "nice" tattooed on his brawny forearms. He goes by the name "North." His fellow guardians include the ninja bunny E. Aster Bunnymund (Hugh Jackman), and the fairy, Tooth (voiced by Isla Fisher). Finally, there's the golden bearish Sandy the Sandman.
Collectively, the Guardians are threatened by the bogeyman, a.k.a. Pitch Black (Jude Law), who looks and sounds like an English punk rocker and has a similar penchant for anarchy and bad teeth. Pitch wants to return the world to the Dark Ages and unleash his "night mares" – wraith-like flying black horses. Jack and his handy wooden staff must stop Pitch from thwarting the gathering of lost teeth and the annual distribution of Easter eggs. In the process, he learns about his origins and accepts his destiny.
All this feels formulaic and the believe-in-magic message is even more treacly than typical, but give first-time feature director Peter Ramsey credit for his visual panache. Rise of the Guardians is a glittering study in architectural spaces, from North's amphitheatre-sized workshop to the imaginative chase sequences, with Easter eggs on feet running through Bunny's global tunnel system. From time to time, as Alexandre Desplat's insistent score surged yet again while the characters rushed by, I found myself wanting the movie to slow down. Some of these images are too beautiful to disappear so quickly.Report Typo/Error

Radlett (North) has a conservation area which covers the High Street area.
We review conservation areas from time to time to see whether any additional locations should be included, or if any others need to be removed.
We usually carry out this work with the help of conservation experts, the Built Environment Advisory and Management Service (BEAMS), part of the Hertfordshire Buildings Preservation Trust, and consult with the public.
We look at issues such as why the area should be protected as a historically important part of the borough, consider good, neutral and poor features of the area so that recommendations for improvement can be made.
The Radlett High Street Conservation Area was last reviewed and updated in 2010. The latest change saw the removal of all six residential properties on Barn Close, a 1970s residential development of six detached houses, from the conservation area. Whilst Barn Close is considered to represent a fine example of post-war development, it was felt it did not reflect the more important periods in the historic development of this area of Radlett.
You can also view the map at our offices in Borehamwood.
Assessments look at how an area should be protected as a historically important part of the borough and the ways in which the character could be preserved and enhanced for future generations.
Being in a conservation area affects what you can and cannot do in a bid to protect the area. This includes:

"It was easy to do. I used fresh spinach and I sauteed the spinach, onions, and the mushrooms before adding the remaining ingredients. I thought it needed some tomato so I served the frittata with salsa."

Artists routinely complain of club promoters falsely advertising events featuring them without their written consent. Usually, stars like Nicki Minaj take to Twitter to alert fans of any con artists. It's a tip Minaj may now be sharing with her labelmate Drake.
TMZ reports that two upcoming shows for the Young Money MC in Pennsylvania have been shut down after it was discovered that Drake was booked without permission. The shows were scheduled to take place in May at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg, Pa. A rep for the rapper explained that the booking was made by a scam artist posing as Drake's manager, saying, "Drake is currently working on his second album and not touring at this time." As soon as the theater realized this they canceled both shows, refunded money to ticketholders and turned to authorities.

I loved the podcast. If you ever need to stop the podcasts for any reason your listeners will understand for the most part. I love when people upload things they usually delete/cut out and let us see/listen to them.
I would also like if there was just something with all the fake ads they are so funny and hard to remember all of them. I love those a lot and hate that I have to go into different podcasts just to find them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM1czS_VYDI I found what was talked about in one of your podcasts thanks to John Green. The part that was talked about that is important is at about 3:52.
I don't know what podcast it was I have been watching them nonstop but I remember a lot of the jokes. Also if anybody is interested in history, but just hate how it gets taught normally check out that channel.

How does an air filter do that, since the single greatest restriction over all but full throttle is the throttle plate doing its job.

I am talking from a cost savings over the life of the vehicle (280 000+ Kms). I know how to use them, been doing so for over 18 years. I find the OEM/Paper filters to be very pricey and you cannot just visually tell when they get dirty. I like my K&N and its that simple, like I said, opinions! I am not knocking anybody either way. Just making a point.

I personally beleive HOnda should have it on all of their vehicles.I put my design on my friends 07 Accord and when he put it in the floor he lit the tires up and it sounded like he had a V8.. no joke.... no smoke.

Well I was playing down Reynolds Rd when this R6 I think came up on my ass trying to play too. I gave it some throttle and pulled real shortly until we came to a light. He was a car behind me in the left lane ( I was in the right). The light turn green so I took of with a little spirit. I looked in my rear view to see what he would do. Just as I thought here he comes cutting through traffice to try and catch me. Well I let him come closer to me and as soon as he got about 2-3 cars behind me I hit it hard in about third. Man he couldn't catch me! I couldn't believe it! I mean he was bobbing up and down and everything during shifts yet I held him off. It almost seemed like I started to pull a little too! When we get to the next light he would not look at me for nothing. I guess he really was trying then. Oh well. I talked to another engineering buddy at work and foundout that motorcycles have sucka$$ coefficient of drag rating something like 40-50 cd! Wow. Well I can believe that seeing how hard a time he had. From a dig I know I'd be so toasted though. I think in was an R6. It had its exhaust right under the rear light. It looked sooooo phat!
Well let the flaming Rupauls bring it!

I had started a thread asking your opinions on getting a black or OD Glock 26. I had went with the OD and I'm glad that I did.
I had forgetten how well the 26 shoots. It's no secret, all of you who own one know it's ability. I got used to my G27 which has had the #1 slot in my off-duty carry rotation since I bought it in 2003. I shoot the 27 very well and follow up shots are pretty quick and accurate. But the 26 allows for much faster follow up shots. I was loving it.
I put 220 rounds of FMJ and some Speer GD's (my choice for carry) through the 26 w/ no malfunctions. I ran them through the stock 10 round mags, some G19, G17 and a G18 (33 round) mag. The gun was dead on, as expected. I put 10 rounds down range at 25 yards off hand for a goof. I shot a 6" spread which isn't spectacular, but not bad considering that I haven't shot in awhile. No sense wasting ammo at distances that aren't very realistic.
Most of the shooting was done between 5 -10 yards with failure drills from the holster (2 COM, 1 head). I was impressed at how fast I was able to recover. The 27 did this well, the 26 was unbelievable.
The 26 is completely stock. The only things that I will do are what I do to all of my Glocks; talon rubber grips and Glock NS's. I also usually swap out the grooved trigger for the smooth one from the 17, but I may opt to keep that as is for now.
I'm very pleased with the 26 and I missed having one for over 8 years. I think that the 26 will move into the #1 slot for off-duty carry followed by my 36 and 19. The 23 and 27 will remain in my locker at work as a duty and BUG respectively.
I know that I'm not reporting any shocking news as most reports about the 26 are positive. Just thought I'd share another.

Volunteers help Keep Roswell Beautiful
New Mexico Military Institute cadets take a break during their energetic trash pickup project along Main Street as part of Keep Roswell Beautiful Day, Saturday. (Amy Vogelsang Photo)
A high level of energetic whoops and hollers were heard along Main Street Saturday as a group of New Mexico Military Institute cadets walked north collecting trash for the 23rd annual Great America Cleanup sponsored locally by Keep Roswell Beautiful.
Decked out in bright red T-shirts, cadets could be [auth] seen doing their part to clean the streets of Roswell while still having fun.
"As long as you come out yelling and screaming, you'll have a good time," Cadet Pvt. Charlie Laabs said.
As a national event, GAC is about residents showing they care about their communities by volunteering to clean up the area. In Roswell, more than 900 volunteers, including 500 cadets, registered and were sent out around the city to clean fields, along parking lots and up and down streets.
Cadet Pvt. John "Kicker" Harrison said it was important to respect Roswell and felt proud to represent the Institute.
"Making a difference here is the first step," Harrison said. This has given him a chance to represent his school and also be seen as a role model for kids who ask what the cadets are doing.
Through it all motivation is key. In doing their part to clean Roswell, they hoped to motivate others in the community, but they also had motivation within themselves.
"We keep a positive attitude about everything," Cadet Sgt 1st. Class Matthew Trujillo said. As a form of motivation they enjoy cadences, or military chants, lead by Laabs.
"We love Roswell!" some cadets yelled together in unprompted unison as they continued on their cleanup route.
Their goal: Work as a team to do as much as possible in three hours.

This only a great gift for elite authors who know and understand how to use google analytics to their benefit. I am Google Analytics certified and a large majority of companies we do business with do not fully understand how to utilize GA to it's fullest potential.
This seems like a nice present for elite authors who understand and are GA certified but other authors may not know a thing about Google analytics. They will not understand how to create custom reports and how to properly use advanced segments and filters. There are so many things involved with Google Analytics that require a lot of time and dedication to learn how to use it to it's fullest potential.
Questions:- Is ecommerce tracking setup for the users who put their UA code in your system? - Is event tracking in place for the authors homepage and item pages? - Are their IP exclusion filters setup for Envato home office and other employee's? - Has anyone created shared custom reports to help authors get started without understanding how to fully use GA? - Is there documentation setup for authors on how to create conversion goals with funnel visualization to find out where abandonment is happening? - Is tracking going to work on multiple top-level domains?
I've clicked the request a staff reply as I'm very interested in the feedback you gave for sure and I am also wanting some further info on reports and details behind things for sure. I'm all for learning from someone who knows how things work rather than just accepting this gift and not knowing how to utilize it to my benefit, otherwise I don't think this will really be useful.
Thanks for your input!
JonathanPS – Am I the only one who doesn't quite understand how this will actually help me? What I mean is, because the Envato marketplaces are rigid with rules and regulations I'm not sure I can even act upon any info I gain from the reports. Usually I could look at my own stats and see search terms, then see pages and length on pages and even follow through a cart system – from all that info I can add focus to pages, products and even alter things in the flow of the shopping cart etc but of course I have no search info in these stats, I can't alter prices, I can't add focus to my pages and there currently is no cart etc and I can't see and what point they exited – I don't want to sound like a Debbie downer here at all, I WANT to use the info to help but I'm struggling to understand how this is possible. Seems more like, oh look 16 people looking at that theme, oh they all went away again….

These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
This is one of our most trusted properties. It has fulfilled all of our verification criteria and earned the Uniplaces Verified badge. We only award this badge to the properties and landlords who we trust the most.

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Help v3. Display & LaserPrint
Dear kind folks:
Hello. i need some help with version 3.0 (Solaris).
There is no LaserPrint at all, and Display (to save graphics into
postscript files, with !psfix) seems to work differently, so i coudn't
use the Display command either.
Any hint on what the problem might be? I used Mathematica quite a lot,
version 2.x in the US, but i'm new here, and nobody around seems to use
Mathematica, so i couldn't ask anyone around.
Many thanks in advance for your kind help.
Best regards,
thang nguyen

We have no time to waste. From GeorgiaCarry.org:
Crossover day is fast approaching. This is the day when bills that do not pass one chamber or the other are dead. This year, it appears that crossover day is going to be next Thursday, March 25, 2010. This date is less than one week away.
SB 308 made it out of the Special Judiciary Committee, but the Senate Rules Committee has not yet scheduled a floor vote by the entire Senate. Again, a floor vote must take place by Thursday. GeorgiaCarry.Org has worked through the schedule that it provided its members for contacting the Rules Committee - without success. Time is now short. Personal contacts are best, but if you cannot do that, then please write, email, fax, and call on the telephone. With almost 6,000 members, GCO should be able to flood them with paper over the next week.
Please do the following four things.
(1) If you have not yet contacted the Lt. Governor's office, do so. Mail a paper letter, and, in addition, fax it if you have access to a fax machine. Send an email, and call. If you previously sent an email, then write a paper letter, mail it, fax it, and call.
Mailing Address:
Office of the Lieutenant Governor
Administrative Staff
240 State Capitol
Atlanta, GA 30334
(2) If you have not yet contacted the Rules Committee Chairman, Sen. Don Balfour, again, please do so. Mail a paper letter, send an emai, and call. If you missed one or more of those methods of contact, such as you called on the telephone but did not do the others, then now is the time to do the others.
Capitol Office:
* 453 State Capitol
* Atlanta, GA 30334
* Phone: (404) 656-0095
* Fax: (404) 656-6581
Legislative Assistant:
Beverly Crumbley
District Office:
* 2312 Waterscape Trail
Snellville, GA 30078
Phone: (770) 729-5764 (O)
(3) Then please select at least three Senators from the Rules Committee at random (making sure to include your own as one of the three if your Senator is on the Committee), and write, email, and call those three Senators.
Balfour, Don (R-SS 09) Chairman
Hamrick, Bill (R-SS 30) Vice Chairman
Seabaugh, Mitch (R-SS 28) Secretary
Adelman, David (D-SS 42) Member
Butler, Gloria S. (D-SS 55) Member
Hill, Jack (R-SS 04) Member
Hooks, George (D-SS 14) Member
Moody, Dan (R-SS 56) Member
Mullis, Jeff (R-SS 53) Member
Pearson, Chip (R-SS 51) Member
Rogers, Chip (R-SS 21) Ex-Officio
Shafer, David (R-SS 48) Ex-Officio
Smith, Preston W. (R-SS 52) Member
Thomas, Don (R-SS 54) Member
Tolleson, Ross (R-SS 20) Member
Unterman, Renee S (R-SS 45) Ex-Officio
Williams, Tommie (R-SS 19) Member
All of the names should be a hot link to their contact information. The link for the Rules Committee members is listed here. Please do not copy all of the Senators on the Committee on an email. The emails are much more effective if they are sent from one individual Georgian to one individual Senator.
(4) Contact your own Senator. Once Rules puts it on the floor for a vote, your Senator will have to decide how to vote for it. Make sure your Senator knows that you want a vote in favor of SB 308.
2010 is the last year of a two year session. March 25, 2010 will be the last day to pass SB 308 out of the Senate and cross it over into the House. Please do not delay.
