Scruby's Military Miniatures are from before my time, but I had often heard that the old 25mm figures were in fact ~1 inch tall, making them dead-on for 1/72 scale. I wasn't sure what to expect as far as appearance went, but reading Vintage Wargaming and The Old Metal Detector led me to believe these were miniatures that were worth looking into.
Scruby figures were made by Jack Scruby starting in the mid-50's, and are currently produced by HistoriFigs. The miniatures on the website are not particularly well represented by images, but the folks at HistoriFigs were very helpful in answering my questions about compatibility so I went ahead and ordered a set of figures from the 25mm Soldiers of Medieval Times line.
Knights in Plate Armor 3458, 3459 (right)
One of the first things I noticed was that HistoriFigs really takes the time to finish their miniatures. All of the bases were filed down so that the figures would stand flush against the tabletop.
The figures are very basic, but they are well proportioned and sculpted in very natural poses (for the most part). It's easy to dismiss the figures for those who want the detail of modern miniatures, but I think that they possess a simple utilitarian charm that is often lost in modern sculpts that are more suitable for a display case than a gaming table.
Anyway, here are some of the figures painted up. Can't decide if I want to go with a green base yet, but I've decided to go with a satin overcoat rather than high gloss.

My friends know me well! And they totally spoilt me! Next up is Deb's birthday so we'll be spending the next few weeks plotting a surprise for her.
Finally, just to prove that I did get a little sewing done, here's an update on the hand quilting on my Pack Patch mini. It's my go-to project for our sewing days, it's so easy to pack (especially when you have loads of books, produce, gifts and food to carry as well) and hand-stitching and chatting go perfectly together.

If your female dog was just spayed, carefully follow all of the detailed aftercare instructions provided to you by the veterinary clinic. Encourage your pet's swift and comfortable surgery recovery by diligently monitoring all of her actions for several days. Make sure to keep her physical activity minimal. Ample rest is key to a successful healing process.
How to Care for a Dog After Spaying
Minimal Physical Activity After Spaying
Your dog might have sutures at the site of the surgical incision. Since you want to avoid the risk of the sutures opening, you want to make sure that your pet refrains from participating in any heavy physical activity. Supervise your dog to make sure she doesn't jump or run until her sutures have been removed by the veterinary clinic. Sutures generally require removal approximately 10 days after spaying surgery takes place. When your dog has to go to the bathroom, take her outside for leash walking. Do not allow her to run around in your yard freely, for example.
Incision Site Observations
Care for your pooch by looking carefully at her incision site a minimum of two times a day during the recovery process. It generally takes dogs anywhere between a week to 10 days to heal from spaying surgery. When you look at your pet's incision site, you might notice slight swelling, redness and oozing, although these things should go away within a few days. If the swelling, redness or drainage is immoderate, alert your veterinarian immediately.
Make sure your pet's sutures remain completely dry and clean during recovery. Avoid bathing your dog until the sutures have been taken off.
Suture Chewing and Licking Prevention
Supervise your dog to make sure that she doesn't chew or lick on her sutures. Remember, the goal is to ensure that the sutures don't open up. If you want a highly effective means of stopping your dog's mouth from getting to her sutures, ask your veterinarian about an Elizabethan collar for her. When dogs wear Elizabethan collars, their mouths can't access their sutures from spaying surgery.
You can prevent your pet from licking her sutures by using a T-shirt. Find a shirt that is big enough to conceal your pet's incision site. Put it on your dog and secure it.
Pain Medication
Some dogs experience pain and discomfort after spaying procedures. Pain medication can assist for the initial 24 hours after spaying surgery. If your vet hasn't prescribed pain medication, and you're concerned your dog might be suffering, call your vet. Never give your dog any medication without your veterinarian's permission.
Signs of Potential Problems
Keep close watch on your dog to ensure that her recovery from spaying surgery and anesthesia is progressing normally. If she's experiencing problems, you might notice symptoms such as feebleness, depression, lack of energy, bleeding, diarrhea, throwing up, trembling, unsteady walking, trouble breathing, reduced or increased body temperature, reduced water drinking and absence of appetite. If you observe any of these symptoms or anything else out of the ordinary in your pet, seek veterinary attention for her without delay.

It is not uncommon for businesses to face high print costs. But, the frustration of high costs is compounded when your machines don't operate the way they are supposed to. So, rather than just wallowing in upset, why not follow sound advice to keep your print practice up and running.
- Invest in IT Quality IT services are an excellent way to ensure the longevity of your print fleet. Having the right network, setup, and support will guarantee that your devices are compatible with your network and continue to operate properly. Frequent updates can disrupt your print program—resulting in driver issues and malfunctions—but having the support of professional IT services will keep all your systems in sync.
Unfortunately, when staff is overburdened, they can neglect small concerns, and print practices fall to the bottom of the list. Using third-party IT professionals is a great way to reduce the strain on your in-house staff and monitor your print network.
Simplify and Streamline One issue with print environments is that the can be complex, and we often make them more complicated than they need to be. If you experience a print setback, the best thing to do is stay calm and think clearly since most issues can easily be identified and rectified. The most common issues are due to operator error, incorrect supply usage, and other minor issues. Be sure you are always using the correct ink/toner and paper for your print model. Educate staff on how to change ink cartridges, or, better yet, identify a print champion to handle these minor issues.
Monitor and Maintain Consistent monitoring and regular maintenance are critical to the wellbeing of your print devices. Just like your car needs a periodic tune-up, so to do your copiers and multifunction printers. If you do not want to worry about this, set up a service and maintenance agreement so that you know your machine will be serviced on a regular basis by professional technicians.
When it comes to reducing costly downtime, it is incumbent on business owners to ensure that they have the proper protocols in place. Saving print costs is not just about reducing the number of documents you print, it is also about properly maintaining your hard-working print devices, through IT service, repairs, care, and monitoring.

A friend recently brought to my attention a site that licenses photos. The site is called PicFair. You, the artist, upload your images to your account on the site, set your price to license the image and Wait. There appears to be some sort of moderation because you may receive an email stating that some of "your pics have been starred, because we really, really like them. Well done!"
You don't need to remove those images that were not starred, but they do affect the number of images that you can upload. (It appears that you can upload more images if most or all your images receive the star as opposed to the number of images you can upload if none of your images are starred.)
One of the reasons I do this blog is to increase the chance of one of my images showing up in searches. So you can expect me posting one or more images that I have available for licensing on PicFair.All that being said, here are three starred images I have available for licensing of PicFair
Clicking on the above image will bring you to my PicFair pages where one could, if they so desired, license the above images. Please feel free to leave comments here on the blog.
Thanks for looking. And please stop by again

When we last heard from the Rediscover North America canoe expedition, they were facing a frozen Mississippi about 1,000 miles into their 5,200-mile journey from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean. After a few days of hard portaging, the river has finally thawed and they're making good progress towards the Minnesota River where they will leave the Mississippi behind. Check out their latest video update from La Crosse, Wis., above, or click here for an overview of their expedition route.

"The days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will punish all who are circumcised only in the flesh- Egypt, Judah, Edom, Ammon, Moab and all who live in the desert in distant places. For all these nations are really uncircumcised, and even the whole house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart."
- Jeremiah 9:25-26
The position of your heart is all that matters, outward sings mean nothing.
I love verses like this that seem to go against the "traditional" old testiment teachings but instead focus on the heart.
On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."
- Acts 1:4-5
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
- Acts 1:8
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. Utterly amazed, they asked: "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!" Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?" Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine."
- Acts 2:4-13
Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
- Acts 2:33
It's interesting that I'm reading through these notes now since Every Nation recently updated our statement of faith to include "We believe... In the baptism with the Holy Spirit and in the exercise of spiritual gifts."
I still don't understand why these things are so controversial when there is so much scripture surrounding it.

text: Despite the funny name, Boudreaux's Butt Paste is a very popular line of diaper rash care that's been around since the late 1970's. It was created by a pharmacist named George Boudreaux in Covington, Louisiana. He wasn't satisfied with the products available at the time to treat diaper rash, and wanted a better product for his young children and to sell to his customers. Word soon spread about his new diaper cream, and when a customer asked him for "that butt paste", the name Boudreaux's Butt Paste was born. The line of products now includes Original, All Natural, and Maximum Strength Butt Paste, along with Butt Smooth, Butt Bath, Baby Kisses lip balm, and Rash Protector Spray. Save on all these Boudreaux's products with printable coupons.

Written by Patrick Jarenwattananon from WBGO-FM
After moving from Mexico City to the U.S. to study jazz, it didn't take drummer Antonio Sánchez long to find himself in the bands of international stars — folks like Pat Metheny, or Michael Brecker, or Chick Corea. It's easy to see why he's so busy; five minutes of watching him layer on polyrhythms will suffice. But he's got more than one talent: He also has a degree in classical piano, and has made a few records which show off his composing, starting with 2007's Migration. There's a new one coming soon, to be called New Life — he'll brought that open, soaring music here with the Migration band.
From the 92Y Tribeca in downtown New York City, Antonio Sánchez led his band in a double bill with Clarence Penn's quartet as part of The Checkout: Live concert series. Both shows were be broadcast on air by WBGO and in an online video webcast at NPR Music. For more information about this series and the full concert archive, visit npr.org/checkoutlive.

Chevy Volt Ad
Industrial monster General Motors has already begun television advertising their premature child's Chevrolet Volt. There are a lot of money spent on advertising and the movie turned out very beautiful and soulful. But knowing about today's electric vehicles, it is a pity to watch this miserable hybrid, that can travel only about 60 km. without sucking one's fill of petrol. Even the Baker Electric in 1909 went in more than twice (!) longer. So thats your century-old automobile progress and fucking American Revolution?

Tips for Maintaining Your Power Trowel
ARTICLE AUG 16, 2016 Concrete Contractor Magazine
It's always best to check with your trowel manufacturer's maintenance guidelines to determine the best maintenance intervals for your equipment. However, here are a few tips to keep in mind.
One of the most important daily maintenance items you can do to keep your trowel in tip-top shape is to instruct customers to power wash it at the end of each use. This will keep it looking professional and free from excess grease or other debris that might gum up moving parts. And your customers won't have to worry about dried concrete dropping onto their floor. For when the machine is back in your shop, there are cleaning solutions designed especially for removing dried-on concrete as well as products you can apply to your trowel to make it easier to clean at the end of each rental.
Greasing and maintenance checks can be easily performed after each use. This will ensure your trowel is ready to go for the next customer.
The concrete slab is a tough environment for your trowel engine, and it's important to make sure you're taking a look at the engine components every day. One of the most common problems is not checking the air filters. Concrete dust will choke the engine the machine will not operate at the optimal power level.
Examine the air filter every day for potential clogging. With a liquid-cooled engine you'll want to check your coolant level daily. On all engines you should check the oil level and for oil leaks.
Before turning on the machine, the operator should perform a visual inspection making sure the bolts that attach to the blades are tight and the safety guards are in place.
Weekly inspections emphasize a closer look at your trowel's bottom end. A bent spider arm - the part of the trowel that holds the blades or pans - can result in a swirling pattern or waviness to the finish. An experienced operator can recognize these problems during operation, but noticing these problems during a job can often be too late to fix them in time to save the slab without re-work. Most manufactures offer spider assemblies with adjustable arms. This allows you to compensate for a bent arm and ensure your blades are all working on the same plane.
Another maintenance item you should add to your weekly checklist concerns the drive belt. Rubber drive belts will disintegrate with heat. Make sure your trowel's belt is in good condition, and change it when you begin to notice wear.
Monthly maintenance items take a step beyond your daily engine maintenance checks. In other words, while you're checking oil levels and air filters or coolant daily, you should plan on monthly replacement or cleaning. Be sure to examine your engine manufacturer's recommendations to determine the best engine maintenance schedule. Not all engines are the same - air-cooled engines will generally need more frequent oil changes than liquid-cooled engines.
Another engine feature designed for easy maintenance is an oil alert system, which notifies the operator if the engine oil level drops below a safe operating level.
Before changing the oil, it's always best to run the engine for two or three minutes to warm it up before changing the oil. Warm oil drains better and faster, plus running it before changing the oil will help remove more of the debris that is suspended in the oil. Check your engine manufacturer's recommendations for oil type and weight.
When it comes to buying coolant for your engine, be sure to read the labels. With the number of coolant blends available on the market, you might think you're buying a blend when you're actually buying a straight coolant. And never think straight water is going to cut it for a hard-working trowel.
In addition to routine maintenance, there are a few annual checks you'll want to add to your maintenance schedule. Again, based on your manufacturer's suggestion for annual use, which is typically considered 300 to 500 hours of use, these are items you might end up doing once a year or a few times a year.
One annual maintenance item is changing your gear box oil. There's a lot of friction in these gear boxes and a little bit of wear on those gears. You will want to remove the metal out of the box or it's going to accelerate wear inside the gear box.
You should also pull out your blade arms and ensure proper adjustment, plan on replacing belt drives at least once a year, and closely examine your trowel's blade-tilt mechanism. With walk-behind trowels, annual maintenance on the throttle cable is critical. Use a synthetic grease in the throttle cable, which tends not to attract water as much as a petroleum-based oil can.

Well folks, we have come to the end of our floor journey (for now, at least). Last night Conan and I put on the final coat of polyurethane and said "So long sucker!" to the old floor that was. By my calculations that means that now there's only one thing to do...
We just took everything off of the cabinets and counters and we're getting ready to start painting at the "too late to start painting hour" of 4:37 p.m. CST. Whatever. I'm itching to get this project behind us. I'm itching to start decorating this room and enjoying it! Speaking of decorating, I put together a little inspiration board for how I would like this kitchen to turn out. So far? Pretty good.
2) Neat old pictures like this one of the East Entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park
3) An awesome vintage stove like the one over at The Brick House (BAM! $45 Vintage Stove)
4) A Navajo rug with LOTS of deep red
5) Dark walnut floors (done, obviously)
6) Brass bin pulls (or bin pulls of some sort) Got 'em!
Well, I've got to go get the brush on the wall if you catch my drift. I'll hopefully have some pictures real soon of my "other project" as well as the painted kitchen!
ALSO, thank you, thank you, thank you! For all of your nice comments about the floor! It's always soooo encouraging to hear that people like what you're doing! You guys are awesome!

And again I repeat great lighting.
thanks for showing.

Looks well-constructed but the nomenclature is off by 90 degrees. That's why it looks like pastry and that's too bad. As a former teacher of graphic arts I would instruct students to do research on each subject, no matter how insignificant. Realize this is not a negative criticism.
7 years ago Mark (Firm Gently) replied:
It seems almost exactly like a negative criticism but I'm ok with that, in fact I invite it with this comment section. I'm not sure what you mean though - to me a nomenclature is a system of naming - perhaps it has a specific usage in the world of shells?
If I am attempting to mimic real life I will do thorough research, but not every work of art is trying to literally represent reality - as a former teacher of graphic arts I'm sure you are aware of this. I love that Georgette thinks it looks like a pastry so I'm glad I executed this the way I did or I would have missed out on that different perspective :)
I thought this was constructed from sketches actually but I won't argue if you tell me something is off by 90 degrees, I'll just roll around in the wrongness of it all.
Thank you for giving your point of view too!

Sun Diego, Vans shoes, and Monster energy drinks present the AM SLAM contest series. The first stop was the Clairemont, California YMCA. There was a great turn out with packed heats in 13 and under and the Pro-Am Open division. With 1,000 dollars total prize purse up for grabs in the Pro-Am Open division, the heat was on. Oddly enough David Cobb was killing it but had to leave before his second run and fell out of contention for the win. In the end, it was Diego Najera who took home the first place and $500. TransWorld gave away a prize pack for the "Trick of the Day" to Derek Elmendorf. Check out the results below the video. The next stop will be the Encinitas YMCA on October 24th.

Most people know in this day and age that positive thinking is good for your health. As a chiropractor in Mississauga I see this in my wellness office every day. Patients who have a positive outlook respond better and faster than those who are more pessimistic – with negative thinking.
One of the reasons for that is when a person has a positive thought certain nice physical changes occur in their bodies prompted by a release of substances called neuropeptides. These neuropeptides are well known as endorphins, serotonin, and dopamine. (The feel good stuff that gives you a high after a bout of exercise)
What most people don't know though is that negative thoughts have the exact opposite effect and the neuropeptides (one of them called substance P) released also have the opposite effects on the body. I guess we could call those the feel bad stuff you get during a bout of depression. Pain is increased, breathing is more labored, digestion is not as efficient, etc.
The reason why I am bringing this up as a chiropractor is that this mental state also affects your ability to hold an adjustment. So in fact you can participate in your recovery by controlling your thoughts and emotions.
Many patients tell me that this is easier said than done and I agree. Here are a few tricks I use for myself to overcome negative feelings and emotions:
- I try to avoid the news as much as possible. It is rarely positive and doesn't serve much purpose in my daily activities.
- I pretend things are good on bad days until I've fooled my mind to think that things are ok.
- I plaster a smile on my face whether I feel like it or not and face people with it. The response to that is usually positive so it can turn things around for you.
- Keep busy. Accomplish things.
- Meditate
If any of you out there have tricks or strategies to change your thought processes from negative to positive please share them here to help others.
Dr. Micheline Cote, Chiropractor in Mississauga at Erin Mills Optimum Health

The Aftermath
The house and business were restored to the Hinrichsen family in 1945, only to be confiscated once again, by the Russians, a few weeks later. They went into State Ownership (VEB) by the new German Democratic Republic. Finally restored again to the family in 1992, the house, which had not been repaired or refurbished for over 70 years, was in a terrible condition. I saw it for the first time in 1991, when parts of it were still habitable and in use by the company of C.F. Peters. It was sold to an investor - an Egyptian plastic surgeon living in Munich, who then neglected it for a further 10 years, during which time it was also vandalized. It is (in 2002) empty, boarded up and almost totally dilapidated. It will hopefully be restored soon.
Discovering the Bookplates
I first became aware of the existence of the bookplates in 1993, following a communication from the State and University Library of Bremen. The Librarian had become aware of the fact that there were many stolen books in their library. These had come into their possession in 1941. My grandparents had been permitted - on payment of huge taxes - to pack their non-valuable possessions for dispatch overseas - all valuables had been confiscated. The ten large packing cases, containing all that they had left in the world, were in the dockyards in Bremen. In 1941 the Gestapo confiscated them and put all the contents up for sale in a "Juden Auktion" - "Jews Auction" for the benefit of the State coffers; amongst the contents were about 200 books. The Bremen Library acquired some of these. After 50 years 30 books could be positively identified as having belonged to Martha and Henri Hinrichsen and their son Hans-Joachim; a few of these contained the bookplates described above. The books are now in my possession. (If anybody ever acquires any book embellished with either of these bookplates, the books are stolen property and rightfully belong to my family.)
The History
For those interested, I would recommend my book, which has had excellent reviews:
MUSIC PUBLISHING AND PATRONAGE - C.F. Peters: 1800 to the Holocaust. Written by Irene Lawford-Hinrichsen, the Foreword is by Yehudi Menuhin. This is not a dry company history, but a wealth of real life, never before published, stories of musicians, music publishing, musical taste and the social and political scene. Please see my web site for full details: www.btinternet.com/~irene.lawford
Published by Edition Press in 2000. ISBN 0-9536112-0-5.

Hello there! There are three items of news in today's blog – one about a past event, two about events happening next Monday and Friday.
Firstly, we are extremely happy and grateful to announce that Team RRSG (Nick Harbourne, Flora Roshi, Christina Barba and Peter Driver) raised over £800 for taking part in the London Legal Support Trust's annual fundraiser, the Reading Legal Walk. They had a beautiful afternoon for it, as you can see from the picture! Thank you so much to the walkers for giving their time, as well as to everybody who sponsored them so generously. RRSG relies on people like you!
Onto next week's events:
Monday 17th October: Reading City of Sanctuary - One Year On, 7:30pm, RISC conference room
Friday 21st October: RRSG Annual Governance Meeting, 7:00pm, RISC conference room
Now, these two events have a lot in common. They are both celebrations of what has been achieved over the past year by RRSG/Reading City of Sanctuary respectively, and an opportunity to find out what both organisations have been up to. Both will involve interesting talks, tasty food and live music (from Limpopo Groove, no less). Both will transform the format of a Traditional Meeting into Basically An Excuse For a Party, and both are free to attend, so if you possibly can, come along!
If you plan to attend the RRSG AGM, please let Flora know: email@example.com or call 0118 9505356

Was Trayvon Martin an angel?
Why is the drive-by media not paying attention?
To watch the media circus around the Florida shooting of 17 year old Trayvon Martin you would think he was a clean cut 13 year old. At least that's the picture they are trying to portray and the picture they show on the 10pm news.
We tell students in our carry classes that no one, and we mean no one walks away after a defensive shooting a winner. Oh sure, you might still be alive but you will have emotional, financial, civil and perhaps criminal liabilities you and a very good lawyer may have to defend against (not the emotional – that's your baggage exclusively).
Photo source unkown
I'll provide for you, in this article, the best links I have found for this story including a press release issued by the city of Sanford FL on the issue and an interview with an eyewitness that confirms Zimmerman's story.
UPDATE 03-26-2012: Initial Police Report released Read it here
UPDATE 03-27-2012: Trayvon's Mother attempts to cash in by trademarking protest phrases!
Most news outlets have repeatedly got the facts in this story wrong. Or here in Minnesota statements like Martin was "gunned down" spread like wildfire over the 10pm news networks. It's been misreported that Zimmerman was white (he's not – he's mixed race but his own family labels him Hispanic).
News reports also wrongly stated that he was told by the 911 operator NOT to follow Trayvon and that is simply NOT true. According to the Sanford City Manager in a press release issued by the City on this matter:
"If Zimmerman was told not to continue to follow Trayvon, can that be
considered in this investigation?
Yes it will; however, the telecommunications call taker asked Zimmerman "are you
following him". Zimmerman replied, "yes". The call taker stated "you don't need to do
that". The call taker's suggestion is not a lawful order that Mr. Zimmerman would be
required to follow. Zimmerman's statement was that he had lost sight of Trayvon and
was returning to his truck to meet the police officer when he says he was attacked by
So Zimmerman was NEVER told NOT to follow Trayvon nor was he ordered NOT to.
Furthermore, the evidence substantiated Zimmerman's account of the incident and there is an eyewitness that confirms Zimmerman's account.
The photo the press has been using of Martin is one where he is a 13 year old boy. Why are they not using the more recent on found on his Facebook page? And they do the same with Zimmerman. Why are they using an old photo of Zimmerman instead of the new one found on this image being sent around on the Internet (see above photo)?
The answer is painfully obvious. It makes for more viewers if race is the issue and not reality. It makes for more views if we portray Zimmerman as a blood thirsty vigilante than it does to portray to what the existing evidence suggests: A victim himself.
Weepy eyed Diane Sawyer could not wait to gush and sigh her way through the story. Reports on her network continue to use inflammatory and biased language such as when reporting on the crime in the neighborhood "perhaps the crime in the neighborhood drove him [Zimmerman] over the edge." Over the edge? A man beating on Zimmerman perhaps forced him to use deadly force in self defense .
What can I do to avoid becoming a George Zimmerman?
You can minimize your chances of being involved in something like George Zimmerman is involved in right now by taking a few simple steps to avoid becoming a victim.
First and foremost, if you are in a community watch or just a good neighbor looking after your neighborhood, you should REPORT suspicious activity.
Certainly in most states including Florida and Minnesota, citizens may effect arrests. It is called a citizen arrest. You can also legally get involved if you see a crime being committed. That really is not up for debate. The bigger question is should you get involved at that level? And in most cases, the answer is no.
If you are a carry permit holder, you carry a firearm for the sole purpose of self-defense for yourself or others (most state laws state if you or another are in danger of great bodily harm or death you can use deadly force.) You're not a cop, and we don't give our students capes. So they are not super heroes either.
And it appears that Zimmerman was attacked by Trayvon. He was on his back with Trayvon on top of him and punching him. Zimmerman was screaming for help (he can be heard on the 911 tape when the eyewitness called the police). The eyewitness confirms this account.
Zimmerman's clothes have grass stains on the back of his shirt and pants further confirming his story that he was attacked and feared for his life.
If you understand that you carry a firearm only to defend yourself or another from an immediate threat of great bodily harm or death, and that you are not a cop or a super heroe, and you maintain awareness of your surroundings and put distance between you and potential threats, you may not end up in a situation as is being faced by George Zimmerman.
And why is not the media outraged and why is not the US Attorney General investigating how the Black Panther Party has issued a wanted dead or alive bounty of $10,000 on the head of George Zimmerman. That sounds like a hate crime to me.
UPDATE: 04/03/2012 - Black Panther leader who placed bounty on Zimmerman is arrested on a weapons charge.

We don't want to say it. Clients don't want to hear it. And yet, it stands – elephant-esque – as the last, and only, line of defense in the fixed-bid, agency-client ecosystem. Over the last couple of years, we've begun evolving our approach with clients to avoid this tipping point…
We're often asked about the process of getting audience feedback during brand development. Typically companies want to know if the audience likes the brand or not, if the logo is appealing or if the brand colors are favorable to the target audience. These questions take both the brand and audience…
As specialization becomes the new standard for the creative industries, there has been a shift in the common meaning of the term design. Where once it stood as a trade, it now stands as a toolkit, defined by the descriptors we attach (graphic, experience, industrial, etcetera), rather than the process…
At Creative Tonic we believe that great creative is great business and that a strong brand yields strong results. We're a branding firm, so of course, we believe that - we wouldn't be doing the work if we didn't believe in it. But it's important to understand that our clients…

Less than a month after my hamster gave birth and her babies are looking food good 😀
There are 10 babies left. Honestly I dunno if I counted it wrong from the start since I initially counted 15 babies. Anyway, I'm glad that the babies are looking well and healthy.
Progress report! 🙂

A Little of the Book Life
Obviously I love books. I'm here, aren't I? :)
A Little of the Book Life
Recently added
8:00 pm 14 February 2013
I haven't read the first in this series, but I wouldn't mind going back and doing so now. Despite not having met any characters yet, I did not feel as if I needed book one to get connected. Lisa Ard does a nice job of reintroducing the characters to a 'new' reader. It didn't seem too heavy, either, that if you had read book one you would be annoyed by it.
That being said, I really enjoyed the characters. The relationship between them felt true to how relationships work in real life, so it was easy to believe. His sister is available and willing to help him, but also reflects the fickleness of sibling love at that age after she helps him. I loved that. I really liked the realistic portrayal of Patrick going through the voice change, too. He was embarassed and felt that his world was crashing down. At that age, any hiccup in life makes you feel that way. Even as adults that happens.
I also enjoyed the historical theme of well-known baseball players, who help Patrick realize that there are worse things in life than his changing voice. I think everyone, from kids to adults, need reminding of that. I didn't feel the story was bogged down at all by any historical facts, which is really good for the age range the book is aimed toward.
The one thing that distracted me from the book were the pictures. I realize that's a small thing and not a reflection on the story itself, but the pictures tended to take me out of the story a little every time. Another thing I struggled with at first is as an adult reading it, I noticed the message of following your dreams and not to sweat the little things in life very quickly and at first felt it was laid on a little thick. By the end I didn't feel that as much, and I imagine a kid reading it would barely notice it. That being said I could definitely see myself reading this with my son when he gets a bit older.

When has there been such a burst of sickening headlines from one place? First, the killing of singer Christina Grimmie by an unhinged stalker with a handgun. Then the vicious slaughter at the Pulse nightclub by a homophobic wannabe jihadist with an AR-15. And, finally, the snatching of a toddler by an alligator roaming a Disney lake. All three stories are datelined Orlando, Fla., a stunningly freakish coincidence.
Last week, Florida Gov. Rick Scott went to California to steal some jobs. Scott urged California businesses to pack up and move to Florida because the minimum wage in Florida is only $8.05 an hour. That was actually the thrust of his selling point: Why are you paying your workers $10 an hour? Floridians will work dirt cheap!
Some supporters now say there was never any intent to actually police the genders of restroom users, that it would be too costly and impractical. Yet, without enforcement, the only point of such a law would be to gratuitously demean an alternative lifestyle. And who would ever do a thing like that?
The hastily-rejected first draft of a new TV commercial for the Mossack Fonseca law firm, exposed in the ongoing "Panama Papers" scandal.
Pinch yourself, hard. The unthinkable, the unimaginable, the impossible is happening. People are actually feeling empathy for Ted Cruz. What does this say about our beloved America? Into what kind of weird cosmic rat-hole have we let ourselves be dragged?
An American president is being welcomed, and his words are expected to be broadcast directly to the Cuban people. Such a thing was inconceivable not so long ago. No less historic is the Cuban regime allowing huge throngs to gather and rock out.
Every four years since Bush-Gore, Floridians silently offer a collective prayer that goes something like this: "Please, God, don't let us be the ones to decide who wins the presidency."
As a devastating deluge of polluted water darkens two coasts of Florida and threatens their tourist economies, Gov. Rick Scott is once again a flaky phantom.
"Getting help in Palm Beach during the high season is almost impossible," the Big Orange Trumpster grumped to MSNBC last fall. Cue the violins.
Florida Atlantic University finally canned the despicable James F. Tracy. Despite what he might say, his travails have nothing to do with the First Amendment.
These days a Rubio sighting in the Capitol is rare. But he showed up — to vote against preventing people on the FBI's terror watch list from buying guns.
Ben Carson's ghostwriter asks Carson how his memory could have gotten so jumbled, but in retrospect he concedes he should have fact-checked it himself.
The term "torture chamber" is outdated, but torture still occurs in Florida's state prisons and mental hospitals.
Something tragic happened in the dead of night, and only one person lived to tell his side of the story. That is the fact.
For God (perhaps) sayeth, "Go ye forth, and let all the people of the world know that their Heavenly Father is totally into guns. Seriously. I beseech all the lambs in my flock to lock and freakin' load!"
Imagine if you were one of the wealthy donors who wrote a six- or even a seven-figure check to the Bush Super PAC early this year, thinking you were betting on a sure winner. Now you're looking at the headlines and lunging for the bourbon.
There are armed robbers, rapists, even killers who will do less prison time than Lee Wollard.
Most embezzlers try to conceal their thefts, but not in Tallahassee, Florida. The looting of Florida's Amendment One conservation funds took place in broad daylight.
A pet king cobra escaped in Orlando, and it wasn't just a standard pet cobra that escaped. It was the largest, quickest, deadliest species of cobra in the animal kingdom. As if people needed another excuse not to come to Florida.
For those Americans who haven't dived into the 7,121 pages of Hillary Clinton emails that were made public, here's a summary: Boring.
What's the point of saving a native creature from extinction if we can't start shooting the darn things again? That's the unspoken philosophy of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, which after two decades of protecting the black bear has decided the time has come to open fire.
Sometimes there's a fine line between mild-mannered and wimpy. No one's expecting Jeb to morph into an electrifying personality at age 62 — but they do expect evidence of a pulse. So here's plan to energize Jeb Bush's presidential campaign.
Is Rick Scott the worst governor in the history of Florida?
It will be impossible for the All Aboard Florida train project to ever make a profit. If your broker calls up and tries to sell you some of these bonds, fire the fool.
For a troubled man, young or old, finding guns for is only a mouse-click away. It's the same sick story over and over.

New maps now available for Wicklow Hills.As some of you may be aware, I've recently published two new maps for the Wicklow Hills. These are the continuation of our series which we started last year with the well received Dublin & North Wicklow Mountains. The two new maps are Wicklow Mountains West (covering roughly from Sally Gap to Wicklow Gap) and Lugnaquilla & Glendalough (covering roughly from Wicklow Gap to Aughavannagh). Both are printed at 1:30,000 scale and on good quality water resistant 120gsm Pretex paper.
Extensive fieldwork on foot and by bike in 2009/2010 has yielded much detail of use to walkers - the sort of detail you can't map by sitting in an office using remote sensing and imagery. I have also undertaken a thorough examination of the placenames of the uplands, looking at multiple sources and talking to hill farmers in the various valleys. In general, I have used various forms of a name to reflect the diversity of spelling but I have also chosen to emphasise the versions that are known and still used locally in preference to some of the OS names. In doing so, I hope to present a more complete record of the area. Further detail on this aspect at www.eastwestmapping.ie/placenames.html
The new maps retail at the same price as our first sheet and can be purchased at www.eastwestmapping.ie or through the specialist outdoor shops/ Eason's etc. Stock will also be found in Laragh/ Glendalough and Blessington Tourist Office. regards and happy walking (&map reading!),

|The theme of this blog sometimes I think...
|This place seems classy, but only 4 M&Ms!?!
After the OR Wednesday morning, I had a quick lunch with SMS before heading to the airport. I thought that San Jose airport would be sleepier than it was and I had a mild amount of alarm when I saw the TSA line but it all worked out. I arrived late in the evening and since the course started at 11 the next day, I was able to sleep in a bit.
|Fan-girl-ing Dr. Galsscock. Please note, the dress code said jeans and I believed it.
Never again!
Friday was all business, mixed with a little fun. The course continued to be incredible. That evening, Dr. Haynes and his wife hosted a dinner catered by Hattie B's hot chicken. Oh my word. The food was everything that Thursday's was not, Jeni's and fried pickles excluded. The chicken was amazing and the sides delicious. There were different heat levels of chicken, collard greens, macaroni n cheese and an incredible key lime pie bite at the end. Oh my goodness. I am hungry just typing this! The company was also great. The Vanderbilt department are my new professional idols- they are so smart, accomplished and personable all at the same time. They were so nice to put on the course and share their expertise. I was really impressed and very grateful to be there!
|Queen B! Ok, this picture is zoomed in but not by much!
Other artists that I saw included Steve Earle, Gillian Welch and Valerie June. It was pretty spectacular. The concert ended around 11 and although I wanted to check out the Bluebird Cafe, I didn't think I would get in so I took in the S. Broadway scene for a little bit. There are so many bachelorette parties in Nashville! I went to Acme Feed and Seed before grabbing a piece of pizza, where I met even more new friends including a guy who loved his nickname Sandwich (his given name is Reuban).
|Breakfast of Champions!

Government must create markets to boost recycling, inquiry told
The Government is failing to learn from the mistakes of the German packaging regulations by pursuing waste recovery without developing markets for recycled material, the House of Commons' Environment Committee was told this month by Waste Watch and the National Recycling Forum (NRF). And many voluntary groups are losing out because local authorities are not paying them recycling credits for removing material from the waste stream.

Your webmaster had the day to himself after making anappearance on the Brian Lehrer show on WNYC Radio (to promote the new Forgottenbook) on a sparkling Monday in October, and had to make a decision about what to do. I was thinking of walking the Brooklyn Bridge, but that would have gotten me to the Brooklyn Heights-Dumbo area, and I've been there frequently of late. Well, WNYC is located in the Municipal Building at Chambers and Centre Streets, and directly beneath is theChambers Street BMT subway station, last cleaned, apparently, in the LaGuardia administration. I decided to grab an M train and remove myself to the wilds of Bushwick. Despite the gains made by the MTA in modernizing the subways after the last couple decades, the J and M trains seem to be the last in line for any improvements.
Bushwick at War
Myrtle Avenue's march athwart the street grid of Bushwick provides a lot of triangle plots — and plenty of opportunities for public art. Two war memorials can be found along the avenue here…both by the same sculptor, and installed the same year.
The first, at Myrtle and Bushwick Avenue, is known as the "Angel of Victory with Peace" and commemorates Bushwick's 93 casualties in World War I. It was sculpted by Italian-born Pietro Montana and installed in 1921.
Montana's other World War I sculpture, the Bushwick-Ridgewood Memorial, can be found at Myrtle and Knickerbocker. It honors 157 servicemen and officers from the immediate neighborhood who perished in "The Great War."
The Memorial is located at Heisser Triangle (Knickerbocker and Myrtle Avenues at Bleecker Street), named for World War I sergeant in the Headquarters Company, 106th Infantry, who persihed in France during WWI. Sgt. Heisser lived on nearby Grove Street.
Since this page is being written on Veterans' Day, the mention of Bushwick's two war memorials is duly appropriate.
According to NYC Parks, Montana (1890-1978) enjoyed a lengthy career, producing relief portraits of Washington Irving and Mark Twain that adorn the north wall of 11 5th Avenue (at 9th Street) in Manhattan; a third World War I monument in Highland Park; a bust of Marconi for the 1939-40 Worlds' Fair in Flushing Meadows; and many other works.
Get the Knick
One of the oft-repeated tales of the Secret Origin of Forgotten NY is that your webmaster awoke one morning in 1962 to find that every Type 24M Corvington cast-iron lamppost on Sixth Avenue in Bay Ridge had been replaced by a Deskey pole, complete with GE-M400 luminaire and bulb–which inspired me to chronicle outmoded and out-of-date NYC ephemeral items, before they disappear. Well, when I first noticed the Corvs, they had been in place for about 40 to 50 years. Now, the Deskeys have been here for just about as long, and with their streamlined, modular appearance, bespeak their decade of origin, the Swingin' Sixties, just as much as their predecessor poles did.
When I reached Knickerbocker Avenue, plenty of items sparked my interest. The first was a lamppost, of course. There are still thousands of Donald Deskey slot-masted poles around town, of course, but this one, at Myrtle and Knickerbocker, still had an original GE M-400 luminaire.
In 2009, all of NYC's older lamppost luminaires were replaced.
Well, maybe not to you but…
This is a storefront on Myrtle at Bleecker, just east of Knickerbocker. It's a former beauty parlor converted to a podiatrist/pediatrician/dentist office. The front seems to have this 1960s-70s faux brick thing going on, but the awning sign is what drew me in. It really does make it a thing of beauty, with its double-drop-shadow hand-lettering, in red, white and blue. Notice as well that the shadow goes to the left (drop shadows usually are on the right) and that little northeast tilt of the F in "of" that makes the eye continue on to the final word. This sign was meticulously designed and painted one day in the dim past.
Knickerbocker Avenue is the main shopping drag in its corner of Bushwick (Bushwick Avenue itself is mostly residential) and it's a repository of ancient business signage. Peper Bros. (P)aint is near the el, while Ideal Dinettes is a few blocks away. I'm surprised the locals haven't filled in what the Peper Bros. "ain't."
At 13 letters, "Knickerbocker" is the longest street name in Brooklyn (that consists of one word): sorry, Schermerhorn Street, you're a letter short. Though you don't see him around much anymore compared to, say, Uncle Sam, in previous decades the personification of New York City was "Father Knickerbocker," a representation of the city's original Dutch settlers, who wore a cotton wig, three-cornered hat, buckled shoes, and, of course, "knickered" pants. The pants rolled up just below the knee and remained in use as boyswear well into the 20th Century; on the golf course, they're known as "plus fours," with the late Payne Stewart one of the few latterday golfers maintaining the style. The New York Knicks' formal name is the Knickerbockers, with the name drawn from a hat soon after the club's founding in 1946.
But why does the street name turn up here? The answer may lie in the name of the next avenue to the northeast, Irving Avenue. A number of streets in the area evokeWashington Irving, the famed author of the early 19th Century, and a character in his 1809 spoof History of New York is named… Dietrich Knickerbocker. Bleecker Street, which also runs through Bushwick and Ridgewood, is likely named for an Irving crony, Anthony Bleecker, a wealthy merchant. The Dutch theme continues with sister avenues Wyckoff and St. Nicholas. Knickerbocker Avenue had attained its name, at least on maps, by 1855.
I might not know much about real estate…but I know what I like, and PS 116, at 515 Knickerbocker between Menahan and Grove, is the epitome of classic public school architecture, especially when photographed in full late afternoon sunshine. Twenty-two public schools are landmarked in NYC, but this is not among them. It was constructed in 1897.
Wiped off the map…and the building
Take a close look at the front of this Ionic-columned building on Myrtle between Knickerbocker and Bleecker, just above the arches, and you'll see that when constructed, it was the Hamburg Savings Bank. Bushwick and Ridgewood were formerly heavily German neighborhoods, especially when the HSB was chartered in 1905. Accoring to Scripophilly, it survived under that name till an acquisition by College Point Savings Bank in 1983, later Federal Home Savings Bank.
In 1905 buildings were constructed with somewhat greater sense of "gravity" than today, and when the builders placed bronze griffins above the front door of the HSB, they never considered that the Famous Brands Fashion Outlet would occcupy the building someday. Why would they? The Hamburg Savings Bank was going to go on forever!
The USA declared war on Germany April 6, 1917, after German submarines attacked several American merchant ships. Thus the USA entered the Great War, and this had an effect on the map of Brooklyn…
A few Brooklyn street names, it was decided, had to change if they named for German place names. Thus, Dresden Street in Arlington became Highland Place, Bremen Street in Bushwick became Stanwix, and Siegel Street, named for a German-born Union Civil War general, Franz Sigel, gained an extra "e", perhaps to camouflage a German spelling. Most famously, though, Hamburg Avenue was renamed for the sitting president and became Wilson Avenue.
We've been at war with or in Germany again, Italy, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq, twice, but presumably, no further street names have been changed in association with these conflicts.
sign, DeKalb Avenue east of Myrtle
Not all streets with German names or themes were renamed, however. DeKalb Avenue, one of Brooklyn's most prominent due to the huge subway interchange at its downtown subway station and the presence of the Dime Savings Bank near its intersection with Fulton Street, is named for Bavarian-born Baron Johann DeKalb (1721-1780) who allied with the patriots in the Revolution and was with Washington at Valley Forge in 1777-1778; he was also a close friend of the Marquis de Lafayette. He was killed at the Battle of Camden, South Carolina, in October 1780.
Who Loves Ya Baby
One of the reasons Forgotten NY's work will never be done is that your webmaster keeps finding landmarked buildings, or at least buildings that ought to be, in unfamilar neighborhoods. This gem at Wilson and DeKalb Avenues was the 20th and later, 83rd Precinct of the NYPD, constructed in 1894-95 and designed by William Tubby (who also built a number of buildings in Pratt Institute). No longer a precinct, it is now home of offices of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. No, it's not endangered, having been named a NYC Landmark way back in 1977. The building now houses the Brooklyn North Task Force and the Patrol Borough Brooklyn North Headquarters.
When the 83rd Precinct moved to 480 Knickerbocker Avenue, the Wilson Avenue building was basically abandoned. In 1996, it was renovated and rededicated for its current use. The original holding cells are still inside, though unused.–ForgottenFan John Gillen
The 83rd was used for exterior shots to represent the 13th Precinct in Manhattan for the 1970s' Kojak, starring Telly Savalas as the lollipop chomping, tough as nails police lieutenant.
The building was decorated for Halloween as I walked past on October 23, 2006, including the stables next door. I didn't get a good shot of it, but the Dutch phrase Eendraght Maakt Magt, or Might Makes Right, is inscribed on the frieze above the entrance portico.
This triangle-shaped building with the rounded corner can be found at the angle created by Myrtle Avenue at Bleecker Street. I especially enjoyed the two oval windows on either side of the door. There are filled-in windows on the Bleecker side; the building may have been a theatre at one time.
And, that's not all at Myrtle and Bleecker. Next to the old Hamburg Savings Bank is a Beaux-Arts edifice with a mysterious symbol on the frieze, an arm holding an ax. Perhaps it was a heraldic symbol of the family that built it? The two columns by the front entrance resemble the fasces of ancient Rome.
Bleecker stroll
The detail of building adornment employed by 19th-century architects is nearly unthinkable in the modern age. I was attracted by the keyhole-shaped window at left. Both of the windows face the rest of the block, as the last building in the row projects outward. At right is one of the few buildings on Bleecker that has not gotten aluminum siding. Once again we have projecting windows. I've never been lucky enough to live in such a building, but I have visited friends who have. You get three different looks from one room from this design.
Wyckoff Avenue
Interesting goings-on at Wyckoff Avenue, which has received some retro-Type F streetlamps, as well as T-pole modified retro-Type G brackets. These new Type Fs are rather more bulkier and robust than their flimsy side-street predecessors. Jamming one on top of a 1950s-style guy wired stoplight mast is a little too fusion for my taste, though. These were worlds that would never had met, had not the DOT embarked on the retro program a couple decades ago.
The MTA is constructing a new fancy-pants transfer between the L (subway) and J/M (el) at Wyckoff Avenue, and normally, I favor this kind of thing. In this case, though, it cost us the Ridgewood Diner at 5455 Myrtle, under the el. It had held forth there since 1964, and I never got to eat there. So many classic diners around town have disappeared since I first began chronicling them a few years ago. Photo right taken January 1, 2001.

And I really really like your tee-pee decor and the tassels. The invites are so fab. There is almost too much goodness here for just one post. I would have had a hard time narrowing these photos down any further too. LOVE IT!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha! My sweet friend remembered the colours from the invitation and dressed her little girl accordingly (in Marimekko to boot!). I was also considering breaking up the post, but thought it's nice to get a sense of the whole party. There were a lot more photos I would have loved to include, but had to limit them to the ton above. ;)Delete
Sosososo CUTE! I love all the simple details and color scheme, but most of all the looks on all the kids' faces makes me melt <3 Looks like everyone had a great time!ReplyDelete

Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle for Healthy Joints
One in every two adults suffers from a musculoskeletal disorder. Joint problems continue to plague Americans with the numbers rising drastically each year. This has consequently affected the people's quality of life, leading to billions of dollars going toward medical costs and reduced productivity.
This calls for urgent attention toward keeping the joints healthy by adopting new habits. The Wellness Center of New York cites some of them.
Beware of neck and back pains
For most office workers, computer monitors, file holders, and chairs are positioned at different angles. Each of these objects should be set at a level angle where your eyes, arms, and legs are not strained. Ensuring comfort at the workplace reduces the risks of developing neck and back pain. You can schedule regular visits to a chiropractor in midtown NYC to resolve the problem.
Comfortable footwear
Women are more vulnerable to developing osteoarthritis owing to their love of high heel shoes. High heels must be worn for a limited amount of time on some occasions, but not daily. Heels tend to increase pressure on the knees as opposed to flat or low heel shoes.
Alternate positions
Staying in one position for a long time is unhealthy. Sitting, just like standing for an entire day, can be strenuous for your spine and back muscles. Take regular thirty-minute breaks to change positions. This helps relieve accumulated pressure on different joints throughout the body.
Lose weight
Extra weight means overburdened joints. Joints can carry only a certain amount of weight. Being overweight continuously endangers the health and integrity of your joints.
Joint pain and other problems aren't only common among aging people or those with arthritis. Everyone is at risk of developing these problems. You must adopt a healthy lifestyle and practices to ensure healthy and pain-free joints.
