Navies of the world salute Trafalgar

Ships from 35 countries amass off England's south coast to
commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar.

The Queen was to conduct the world's biggest review of navies off the southern English coast last night to commemorate Britain's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar 200 years ago.
More than 160 warships and other vessels from 35 navies have assembled in the Solent in front of the naval base at Portsmouth.
"In total 63 nations are represented here," a spokeswoman for Trafalgar 200 said. "It is the biggest ever international naval assembly in terms of the number of fleets involved."
France, the US, Spain and Italy have sent aircraft carrier battle groups to join a Royal Navy carrier group at Spithead, with navies from Australia to Russia also sending warships, merchant ships and sailing ships.
The battle off the Spanish coast on October 21, 1805, spelt the start of the end for French conquest of Europe and gave Britain command of the seas for a century. But British admiral Horatio Nelson, 47, was killed by a French sniper in the epic battle that pitted the combined Franco-Spanish fleet of 33 warships against just 27 English ships.
The celebrations include a recreation of a 19th century sea battle. But in a nod to diplomacy that has drawn a broadside from Nelson's closest living relative, there will be no mention of the nationalities of the fleets involved in the original battle - the combatants will instead be the Red and Blue fleets.
"I think the idea of the blue team fighting the red team is pretty stupid," said Anna Tribe, 75, the great-great-great-granddaughter of the married Nelson and his lover Emma Hamilton.
"I am anti political correctness. I'm sure the French and Spanish are adult enough to appreciate we did win that battle."

Kafana - Nikola Luburic
To start this game simply load the esp and head towards Anvil. Once you enter the town of Anvil it will be a matter of seconds before you are introduced to the quest line.
Before the description I would recommend that when playing this mod you start on a clean save as to avoid any conflict this mod might have with other mods.
This mod is not compatible with DLCBattlehornCastle.
Description: The Golden Crest is a major quest mod that in it's current version has 25 quests(at least 10 more are to come) and currently offers at the very least 20+ hours of gameplay. Once you help a pirate in Anvil escape the clutches of the Imperial Guard you are on your way to becoming a pirate. At the start you serve on The Wailing Butcher, a strong and sturdy vessel. It isn't long before you go from the rank of Swabie to boatswain and start raiding ships, islands and castles with your crew mates. Eventually you acquire a ship of your own and become captain. With a home on the water and a crew under your command the plunderin' beings!
- A number of quests, most of which last longer than most vanilla quests.
- As you play you eventually acquire your own small quarters in the ship, but once you acquire a ship of your own you get a fully crewed ship equipped with your own smith, cook and doctor as well as half a dozen boatswains.
- A cozy acquirable house in the Nibenay Basin. A perfect location for any outlaws, vampires, thieves and, of course, pirates. Of course, what wilderness hideout would be complete without a secret?
- A tavern for pirates, thieves, treasure hunters and bounty hunters. What tavern would be complete without an underground ring? Features a dice game, a fight club and a long list of people with bounties on their heads for you to hunt.
Quests include so far:
- Raiding an enemy tobacco plateau and acquiring it for yourself.
- Boarding ships and plundering their storage.
- Recruiting new people for your crew.
- Establishing a constant income for your crew by helping your captain take control of a gold mine.
- Laying siege on the enemy's castle and taking it for yourself.
- Large scale battles, possibly bigger than that of the Battle for Bruma, where you don't question who you slash, you just slash.
- Challenging whoever you wish to a fist fight.
- Collecting ancient Ayleid gems used to open the ultimate treasure chest(part of the buried treasure which every pirate wants for himself).
- Taking part in a horse chase, a long and hard horse chase.
More to come:
- Raid a ghost ship.
- Acquire an island for yourself and your crew.
- Uncover the biggest treasure this side of the Abecean Sea.
- Become a pirate lord.
Simply extract the .rar file to your OblivionData directory and open up the Oblivion Launcher where you will have to check the GoldenCrest.esp in the Data files menu.
- The latest Oblivion patch.
- OBSE -Elys- Universal Silent Voice which can be found here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16622
(Alternatively you can download the Golden Crest silent mp3 from this site, included in the file section of the mod and extract the files to your OblivionData directory)
- pale_rider for the pirate coat and pants
- mirind09 for the black leather outfit
While the mod seems to work fine and doesn't cause any errors I would strongly recommend you back up all your saves. I am not responsible for any bugs that might occur.

Many of the 12 million car seats Americans buy every year eventually end up in a landfill.
Recycling would reduce the amount of car seat landfill waste, but it's in effect in limited places. Some states and communities offer local recycling of some seat parts, though there isn't a large-scale effort to manage this waste. One reason: Stripping down seats and separating the various materials for recycling is a highly manual (aka expensive) process.
Consumer Reports knows all about the limited recycling options. There's no local outlet for recycling the car seats we've tested, though we have found a place that takes the Styrofoam seat lining of the seats.
The best alternative is to recycle as much of the seat as you can yourself. Before you do the work, ask the local department of public works whether the plastic from the seat is accepted in the local recycling program—some seats have metal molded in.
If you're ready to retire a seat, use these tips, courtesy of the recycling program in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They're especially important, because data shows that you'll go through three car seats for each of your kids over the years.
- Use scissors to cut off the fabric, foam padding, and harness straps from the seat.
- Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove as much metal as possible. Some cannot be removed easily.
- Remove the car seat cover and any padding underneath it.
- Discard the fabric, foam padding, straps, and mixed metal/plastic pieces and small
plastic pieces.
- Mark the plastic as expired or unsafe.
- Recycle the bulky plastic body and all metal pieces.
A number of organizations offer periodic car-seat recycling programs or continuously accept seats to recycle. Some will strip the seats for you. Otherwise, look into various community programs listed below.
If you find that the only practical alternative is to dispose of the seat in the trash, remove the straps and get rid of them separately, or cut them so that the seat can't be used again.
|Phoenix Children's Hospital
|Colorado Children's Automobile Safety Foundation
|Ann Arbor (recycling instructions)
|Various locations
|Offutt Collision Repair, Bellevue
|New Jersey
|Shade Tree Garage, Morristown
|University and Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, Cleveland
|Legacy Good Samaritan Hospital, various locations
|Salt Lake City and various other locations
|Baby Earth Renew, Round Rock
|Various locations
For more information about child car seats, see our buying advice and Ratings.
—Liza Barth
Don't buy or sell used car seats
While it is nice to share and reuse baby items, car seats are one product you shouldn't reuse, especially if you don't know its history.
A seat that has been involved in a crash, for instance, could be dangerous to use, and you might not know whether a manufacturer has recalled a seat.
What's more, the components used in the typical car seat deteriorate and weaken over time. That's why car seats have an expiration date stamped on the back, typically six years from the manufacture date.

Despite a regular diet, the pile of horror yet to be digested grows and grows. Every few weeks we must gorge upon it, or the neglected buffet may buckle from the weight and something precious will fall to the wayside, going unnoticed for weeks and months. This is a risk I cannot take. Which is why we take one day every 6 or so weeks and black out the basement windows for unrelenting hours of horror. Due to travel the feasting has not taken place since November '07. We are with hunger.
That day, retroactively dubbed the original Horror's Not Dead All Day Long, had a helluva lineup: THE TRIPPER, HATCHET, ABOMINABLE, BLACK WATER, 13 BELOVED, ALONE, SHROOMS, WRONG TURN 2. It was a fantastic day and even featured a power outage during SHROOMS that lasted for close to two hours, during which the lack of electricity was supplanted with ghost stories. Turns out pretty much everyone I know has seen a ghost in my house. Fantastic topic of discussion during a power outage. Makes the memories of two hours last for weeks.
Tomorrow marks HND:ADL2 and again, I've scrapped together what I believe to be a solid line-up. Buzzed about Indies, imported foreigners, procrastinated studio'ers, a screener or two, and some kinetic steamers to cap off the sure to be drunken night:
9AM : MOH: FAMILY (just to warm up while getting ready)
10AM : MOH: SOUNDS LIKE (just to warm up while getting ready)
Okay, well, not all of those are new to me/the site, but should be to the viewing group at large. I weighted things a bit heavier early on in the day, when the crowd will (presumably) be less liquored. INTO THE MIRRROR is the Korean flick Alexandre Aja is currently remaking, so I'm eager to take that in. And don't even get me started on EXTE…hair extensions that kill people!? Sold!
Never shalt thee presume what yet hath not beenithith.
P.S. Most likely going to go see 10,000 B.C. in the morning and lounge about for the remainder of the day. I'll see if I can make a flick or two though.
Sounds like a blast. Have fun guys!
Automaton Transfusion was shot, in part, in my hometown of Winter Haven, FL. Let us know how it is.
This sounds like a good time. Unfortunately we don't have basements in Florida.
I can't wait to watch The Mist again, this time on DVD, so i can stop and eject it before that bullshit ending. and still enjoy the rest of the film.
i can't wait to check out Storm Warning and Automaton Transfusion myself. have you seen Welcome to the Jungle yet? through my old job i got the opportunity to watch a screener of it last february and though there were several moments that dragged and the whole forced-conflict thing got a little old, i really enjoyed it.
through that same job i got to watch a screener of some scenes from that Day of the Dead remake.
man, i'm telling you, do NOT watch that piece of shit. and if you ABSOLUTELY MUST, make sure you don't watch it last.
trust me, Peter, that is NOT the note you want this thing to go out on.
if you ever do end up watching Day of the Dead, you'll know just how lucky you were…
i used to work for Starz. in their acquisition department.
unfortunately, most of the contacts i have are on the television side of things. i worked in the Denver main office.
i do know some people at Starz Media and am very friendly with a few at Anchor Bay.
you should email me about this, though, to talk about it more in-depth.
by the way, not sure if you ever saw GOING TO PIECES: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SLASHER FILM or not, but you should definitely check it out. i had a hand in that, and if you watch the end credits carefully, you'll see me listed in the "Special Thanks" section.

There is a lot of interest in the marketing and HR community about understanding the Millennial generation, including who they are, what their interests and expectations are, and what their preferences are relating to work and shopping.
There is no real definition on what the age range is of a Millennial. Wikipedia mentions that that some are using birth years from the late 1980's to the early 2000's. Some refer to Millennials as Generation Y, some are even mentioning a new Generation Z as part of this category. Regardless, there is no question that Millennials now represent the future workforce and purchasing power of the developed economies of the world. Marketing professionals want to learn more about how this new generation consume marketing messages and what their purchasing preferences are. HR professionals want to learn more about how to attract and retain this this new generation of workers.
Studies seem to agree on certain generalizations and characteristics of this new generation.
- Heavily reliant on social media and technology … and communicate with people differently because of it
- Raised differently than their parents were, primarily because the environment has changed dramatically
- Live in a completely different world of media than their parents (real-time access to information, fewer filters on information)
- Relatively unattached to organized politics and religion
- Many entering the job market are burdened by debt
- Inherently distrustful of people
- They are in no rush to marry
- Optimistic about the future
- This is a racially diverse generation
- Able to multi-task better than their parents
- Naturally Group-oriented and collaborative
- Values peer opinions (typically gathered via social networks)
- Generally confident about their abilities to succeed
- Values lifestyle above work
- Impatient. Expects things to happen now
- Open-minded. Receptive to new ideas and ways of living
- Self-expressive (online as well as offline)
- Desires constant feedback
- Competitive. Will compete to winFor those of you digging deeper into understanding Millennials, I have done some research for you.

Summer Reading: Of Bookstores and Lemon Cake
There's something enduringly lovely about local independent bookstores. I love stopping by to visit them, try to give my local ones the first shot at supplying me with a book I'm looking for, but most of all I value them as community centres at the heart of the villages (real and virtual) that exist in our neighbourhoods, even in a vast city like Los Angeles. People gather and linger at them, bonding over the written word for the most part, but sometimes just for the sake of gathering and lingering. In that role they are a lot like public libraries, another favourite of mine. Much of what I said can apply to the large chain bookstores too, but somehow I find them less likely to have that community feel that independent stores have. I'm not sure why (location? focus? less of a personal touch in the organization of the material?), but this is the way it seems to me. (I'm speaking about the USA; the feel of bookstores is different to me in different countries.)
Last night, after a quiet evening meal after a long day of working on the Project, I went for a nice long walk, heading to Skylight books in Los Feliz. (That's the neighbourhood at the base of the hills of Griffith Park, in case you don't know.) My friend and colleague Aimee Bender was launching her new (long awaited) novel "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake", and I thought I'd go along to support the launch, hear about the book, and absorb a bit of the buzz. And buzz there was, since in addition to […] Click to continue reading this post

DUP MLA for Mid Ulster, Ian McCrea has expressed his concern at the amount of rubbish thrown down on the streets in Cookstown by people who attend fast food outlets after a night out especially in the James Street area.
Mr McCrea said: "Having recently been contacted by constituents regarding the amount of litter that is lying on the street after some who go to fast food outlets after attending nightclubs in the town centre, throw their chip papers etc. down on the street.
"I accept that it is very difficult to control attitudes of people especially those who have been drinking, this however doesn't change the fact that the littering around James Street and other parts of the town centre, is less than satisfactory and certainly isn't in keeping with Cookstown looking good, looking great.
He added: "It is important to recognise the work that Council street cleaners do in getting the litter lifted to make the town centre look so well, though it is worth noting that lifting litter throughout the district costs around £500,000 each year."
Director of Corporate And Operational Services for Cookstown District Council, Ivor Paisley told the MAIL, the council are committed to keeping the town clean.

We'd like for people to READ their Claimant Handbook, before calling us with questions for which the answers ARE ALL in the DE1275A (Claimant Handbook).
READ, READ, READ "EVERYTHING" which the EDD sends/mails to you! However, getting people to take interest in their OWN UI, so that they can manage their UI Claim by being INFORMED, is like pulling teeth!
EVERY DAY I speak with Claimants who ask ALL of the questions, for which the answers ARE provided in the DE1275A. And, BTW – it is written at a 6th grade level, so that ALL can understand. However, this would require you to DO SOMETHING – READ!!!
When I say to many of you "I can tell by the questions which you are asking me that you have NOT read your Claimant Handbook (the DE1275A), I get the tipycal reply "…uh, uh, yes I did, BUT….. (BUT, BUT, BUT…)"
God forbid folks take responsibility for their own paths… I don't know what all of you are going to do come 12-31-2013, when ALL of the extension END. Period. NO MORE UI MONEY.
And, BTW – unlike what most think, this is NOT the EDD's decision, this is mandated by the FEDS (the end of all of the extensions). Well, you kind of had to KNOW that they were going to end at some point, they can't go on forever…..
I'm very scared that we'll have a riot on our hands…….
Oh well. In the mean time folks, do read your DE1275A. It IS sent/mailed to you for a reason…..

NEW YORK, NY — "Halliburton's Interests Assisted by White House, Los Angeles Times, October 2004
Despite environmental concerns raised by staff members at the Environmental Protection Agency, former President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney firmly supported hydraulic fracturing, which just happened to be developed by Halliburton, a company Cheney headed from 1995 to 2000.
Buried Secrets: Is Natural Gas Drilling Endangering U.S. Water Supplies? ProPublica, November 2008
A 2004 EPA study concluded fracking did not pose a risk to drinking water, but contamination was far more prevalent than indicated in the report. A case in rural Wyoming was the first recognized by a federal agency. But more than 1,000 cases tied to drilling and fracking have been documented by courts and state and local governments — including one that blew up a house. (We normally don't include our own work in these "Best Of" roundups, but reporting on natural gas drilling by Abrahm Lustgarten, Joaquin Sapien and others at ProPublica has won numerous journalism awards.)
State Oil and Gas Regulators Are Spread Too Thin To Do Their Jobs, ProPublica, December 2009
As fracking operations ballooned in 22 states, regulators struggled to keep up. Questions about resources required to regulate fracking rarely entered the debate, but it was hard to ignore in a place like Texas, where the number of new wells drilled each year jumped 75 percent between 2003 and 2009, and state regulatory staff increased just 5 percent. (We created a database that lets you find out how big the gas drilling regulatory staff is in your state.)
Game Changer, This American Life, July 2011
One Pennsylvania professor discovers that fracking is an economic boon; another, that the technique is an environmental nightmare. Politics ensue, and the resulting story provides poignant insight into what happens when a game changer hits a state, 'like natural gas hit Pennsylvania.'"
— Blair Hickman and Cora Currier, ProPublica

I had a lovely day at the show and came away with some lovely plants and bulbs. Ofcourse I didn't take a note of the full name of the bulbs so I could check on growing conditions, soil, frost, size, colur etc. and will they flower this year and indeed should I plant them now?
Anyone know the store holder's name, it was a stall selling loose bulbs- you bagged them yourself, it was outside on the avenue, they probably do all the shows.
The bulbs are Chimanthe x3 (corms) and a large spark plug looking bulb Jack in the Pulpit- Arisaema - unknown variety which is the main problem.
Would love to have the exact names and advise on growing them. i have clay soil on a north facing slope, which has been improved- shady area of hosta, astilbes, dicentra, etc.
I also have a darmera peltata and gunnera manicata to plant out, with a dilema as to whether to clean up the weeds round the side of the shed which is wet/ boggy but not very big- 2ft- 3ft wide, or to dig up a section of the lawn and create a bog garden with a pondliner or? Or do I go the whole hog and plant by the river at the bottom of the garden, which never seems damp to me, currently it is full of weeds, - a few docks, ground elder, grass and a beautiful huge willow tree, and does flood every year.
Look forward to your suggestions

Dems Need a New Scapegoat… "Let's Blame the Tea Party" – VIDEO
The Fed hasn't been able to pass a budget since last year, one excuse after another and a new deadline is coming up. So what's the plan?Blame the Tea Party!
On April 8th, funding for the federal government runs out and a number of lawmakers are saying that they won't pass another short-term extension. The battle in Congress got particularly heated today when Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer was caught on tape on a conference call urging fellow Dems to blame the Tea Party for a possible shutdown.

Reclining Female Nude, Chalk on Paper, Armand Berton
More questions? Get in touch
Red, black, and white chalk drawing on tan wove paper, on old mount.
Drawing using trois crayons, a mixture of red, black and white chalks, has been put to superb use in France since the technique was popularized by Watteau early in the 18th century. Armand Berton is working in the same tradition with this beautifully executed drawing of a female nude, a subject for which he was well-known.
Berton was born in Paris and studied first at the École des Arts Décoratifs (School of Decorative Arts). Later he continued his study at the École des Beaux-Arts (School of Fine Arts), working under the direction of Edmond Yon and Alexandre Cabanel. Afflicted at an early age with total deafness, he gave up formal studies and completed his artistic education on his own, frequenting the great museums of Paris and studying the work of the masters he found there.
He first exhibited in the Paris Salon exhibition of 1875. Between 1910 and 1921 he exhibited in the Salon de la Société des Beaux Arts of which he had been elected a member in 1892. In 1900 he was awarded a Gold Medal at the Salon des Artistes Français. That same year he was made a Knight of the Légion d'honneur.
Berton was known as skillful figure artist, and was especially famous for his depiction of women. He was also an excellent draughtsman and printmaker.
His work is found in Luxembourg Museum in Paris, as well as in museums in Bayeux, Douai, Mulhouse, and Rouen.

With the weather being so contrary this time of year, kids and their caregivers are likely to be experiencing cabin fever. Getting out and about and visiting the library can be tricky on icy days and you may have exhausted your bag of home entertainment tricks. How about introducing a virtual story time?
The Seattle Public Library subscribes to many databases that are free to all of our library card holders. The children's databases include virtual tools that can be very helpful for homework assignments, but there are also several databases that can be employed for the purpose of entertaining stir crazy children. Two such databases are BookFlix and TumbleBookLibrary. Both are online literary resources that "read" books to children from a computer screen and reinforce early literacy skills, as well as promote emerging reading success.
BookFlix pairs nonfiction and fiction picture books for young children, providing a story and accompanying it with an informational book on the same topic. Book selections are available in both Spanish and English. Author profiles, games related to the books and links to other Web resources are included in each subject area.
TumbleBookLibrary features books, games and resources in French, Spanish and English. This database has books for toddlers through elementary age children, including short chapter books and classics, such as Little Women and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
To access these services, you just go to The Seattle Public Library Website, at www.spl.org, and select "Children" in the orange Audience box on the right of the screen. Once you are on the Children's Page, select "Online Resources", in the orange sidebar on the left of the screen. This will bring you to the Children's database collection, where you will find many great resources to fill an hour with fun, entertaining facts and fiction.
Of course, there is always a more old-fashioned method of experiencing a virtual story, wherever you may be… The telephone! Before the advent of phone apps and downloadable books, there was Dial-a-Story! It continues to be one of our most accessible and most popular virtual storytelling services. Once a month, librarians record a five minute story for your listening pleasure. Stories are available in English, Spanish and Chinese. To access this service, dial (206)386-4656 and follow the instructions to select the language of your choice.
Obviously, whenever possible, we would love to have you attend our "real world" story times at The Seattle Public Library. Much of the joy of story time is derived from spending time with peers; singing, dancing and laughing together. Virtual books can't quite replace a real, honest-to-goodness story time, but they will do in a pinch on an icy Pacific Northwest day when the refrain, "There's nothing to do!", can be heard all across the city.

Picked up this buggy at AB-C. The price was right so I figured I would give it a try.
This is Megatech's entry into the 18th scale arena. The MPro-RCB Buggy RTR.
First look it doesn't look bad. After a closer look...I would say it is a close to an Associated RC18B as you can get legally.
The overall chassis layout is the same. The Mpro is set up with a wider chassis plate that I found out was because they offer a Dual Motor Conversion
The front suspension is close to the same...I did notice that it has a universal shock tower that can be used for front/rear and any body style.
Rear Suspension is close to the same...I like the MPro how it screws from the back versus the bottom like the Assoc. Anyone that has tried to remove the screws after bashing knows what I am talking about.
They list a ton of Alum hopups and other items...here are a few that I thought were worthy of mentioning:
Battery and charger kit: This splits the cells to either side of the chassis for balance and installation of Dual Motor Kit.
Brushless Motor & ESC: Do I need to say more?
Here is my first Test run on the track...It will be competitive for an inexpensive price.

Syrians demand UN talks after deadly blast
Syria's main opposition group is appealing to the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting about a deadly attack on an apartment building in the central city of Hama overnight.
The Syrian National Council says 70 people, including 16 children, were killed when government shelling flattened a block of houses in one of Hama's working-class residential neighbourhoods.
Video footage uploaded to YouTube shows large crowds at the site of the blast, searching for survivors, with people carrying the body of a young girl killed in the explosion.
The Syrian government's official news agency, however, says it was caused by the premature explosion of a "terrorist bomb" and only 16 people were killed.
Whoever is responsible, the violence shows the failure of a UN-backed ceasefire and the inadequacy of its monitoring mission.
Earlier this week, the UN deployed two of its unarmed monitors to Hama to investigate claims of summary execution following shelling there which killed at least 20 civilians and wounded 60.
In Dourma, a suburb of Damascus, YouTube video shows tanks and troops moving through the city and militiamen in plain clothes forcing detainees into the back of utility vehicles.
Under the ceasefire, troops and heavy armoured vehicles are supposed to have withdrawn from urban areas.
It appears the handful of blue-helmeted UN monitors on the ground in Syria can do little other than move from one trouble spot to another showing the flag.
"We have a role of de-escalating the situation. We do that and we did that yesterday in Douma by maintaining our presence on the ground, patrolling the area for a good number of hours, through our liaison activities," spokesman Neeraj Singh said.
'What next?'
But the Syrian opposition says the deployment of monitors must be sped up and that the ceasefire is meaningless while troops and tanks remain in urban areas.
"We understood that ceasing fire meant to withdraw heavily armed vehicles from all cities and to be sent back to the barracks," Syrian National Council spokesman Basma Kodmani said.
"If there is any other interpretation for the meaning of a ceasefire, it will be the regime's view not ours. The regime is incredible."
A delegation from the Syrian opposition has been meeting in Paris with French foreign minister Alain Juppe.
"We think that Annan's plan is destined to failure. We know what the Syrian regime is doing now and how it defies even the will of the international community. We think the announcement of this failure will be soon, so what is next?" Syrian opposition member Souhayr Atassi said.
France believes the answer to that may be the use of force by the UN.
"Either this mediation works or it doesn't," Mr Juppe said.
"And if it doesn't work we can't continue to allow ourselves to be ignored by the regime which has adhered to none of the six points of the Kofi Annan plan. We now have to move into a new phase."
Human rights groups say almost 400 people have now died in Syria since the so-called ceasefire came into force earlier this month.

Lanolin mister
Just got one from Northern Essence a little while ago. I've NEVER lanolized my wool, it's always arrived lanolized and I haven't had to do it up until now. However, some things need to be lanolized before the girls get here, so the sooner the better I guess.
Help me?! How do I do it? I have instructions using a wool wash bar I think, but what exactly (step-by-step if you can?) do I need to do to wash the wool and use a mister?
Re: Lanolin mister
Wash your wool according to the instructions then mist with the lanolin and let dry. I have that same lanolin mister from NE and it's so easy!
Re: Lanolin mister
Just make sure you spray the first shot away...it's all gunky but then it comes out smooth :)
Re: Lanolin mister
Not to hijack your thread, LOL, but I just got my stuff from NE too---however, I didn't get the mister, I just have regular old lanolin---anyone know how to do that??
Re: Lanolin mister
Uh....I can try and type out the instructions I have for you, LOL!
Re: Lanolin mister
LOL. If it's a pain, don't worry about it. I'm sure I can find them somewhere online--I was just thinking if it was easy and someone knew. No worries!!

Cultural Preservation
The mission of the Delaware Nation Cultural Preservation Department is to preserve the culture, language, history, ancestral lands, sacred sites, objects of cultural patrimony, materials, and objects possessing ongoing cultural significance to the Delaware Nation through education, communication and consultation with local, state, federal agencies and organizations in the Delaware Nation's 17 state area of interest.
The Cultural Preservation Department of the Delaware Nation is committed to the preservation and protection of our history. Through Section 106 reviews and monitoring, we can protect sacred sites such as cemeteries and ceremonial locations. Our office focuses on the historic oversight of 17 states, five of which our oversight encompasses the entire state while we oversee specific counties in the remaining 12 states. Our purpose is to protect archaeological sites which might contain burials and associated funerary objects. We also work to repatriate not only human remains when they are discovered as well as those who reside in various museum collections.
Cultural Preservation is home to our language program, princess program and we plan and execute several cultural events throughout the year. Consultation is also part of Cultural Preservation. Consults often consist of meeting with various museums, historic centers and, at times, large corporations seeking to develop within our areas of historic oversight.
It is the mission of the Delaware Nation's Cultural Preservation Department to protect and perpetuate our story so future generations may continue to pass on the rich history and culture of the Delaware people. The programs under the guidance of the Department are: NAGPRA, Section 106, Culture Events, Language, Princess Program, Archives, Library & Gift Shop, and Museum.
Learn more about our Cultural Preservation Programs by clicking on the links below:
Sonnie Allen
Director of Cultural Preservation
Kim Penrod
Director of Cultural Resources (Section 106. Archives, Library, and Museum)
Section 106 Program
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) required Federal agencies to take into account the effect of their undertakings on historic properties, and afford the Advisory Council of Historic Preservation a reasonable opportunity to comment.
The funding of the program comes directly from the Cultural Preservation Budget (Section 106). It is supported by no federal monies, however, requests for additional assistance may be submitted and approved by the Executive Committee, at their discretion.
Tribal consultation is required in all steps of the Section 106 process when a federal agency undertaking may affect historic properties that are either (1) located on tribal lands, or (2) when any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization attaches a religious or cultural significance to the historic property, regardless of the property's location.
When an undertaking occurs on tribal land, the federal agency must notify appropriate Indian tribes of the undertaking and give those tribal groups the opportunity to consult, should they wish to do so. Consultation should be conducted in a manner recognizing the unique government to government relationship that exists between the federal government and tribes, should be respectful of tribal sovereignty, and should be sensitive to the concerns and needs of the Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization.
If they agree that there will be no adverse effect, the agency proceeds with the undertaking and any agreed-upon conditions. If they find that there IS adverse effect, or if the parties cannot agree and ACHP determines within 15 days that there is an adverse effect, the agency begins consultation to seek ways to avoid, minimize, or mitigate the adverse effects.
The Delaware Nation Section 106 Program, under tribal sovereignty, does require charging consultation fees. These fees we collect go back into the Cultural Preservation department to maintain cultural activities, classes, materials as well as administrative fees and maintenance of the Delaware Nation.

Cultural Preservation Events
The Mission of the Cultural Preservation Events Program is to provide culturally relevant activities, information, and knowledge of the Lenape/Delaware Nation specifically to Delaware Members but open to the community. The funding of the program comes directly from the Cultural Preservation Budget (Section 106). It is supported by no federal monies, however, requests for additional assistance may be submitted and approved by the Executive Committee, at their discretion.
The Goal of the Cultural Preservation Events Program is to provide activities, lessons, or an idea by the Coordinator and/or an outside local native instructor in order to explore our rich history and culture. Participants will be introduced to Lenape or eastern woodland culture by applying traditional methods to our crafts or activities. We read and share stories from our families and other resources.
We will better understand the transition from our traditional ways to the current state of our nation by discussing history versus current events. We will explore the traditional methods of parenting, cooking, games, survival, dance, song, courtship, marriage, death and burial.
We will discuss, create, and maintain our heritage by creating Delaware Regalia and the accessories by providing the basic beadworking techniques and application of the designs. We will explore the differences between Tribes through their regalia and culture.
We currently have created Delaware boys leggings, Bandoliers, medicine bags, earrings, and are currently working on Delaware traditional shirts.

Language Program
Mission: To provide Lenape Language Learners with a comprehensive program through application of modern language learning practices in an environment rich with Lenape teachings, community, and resources.
Vision: Produce Fluent Delaware Nation Lenape Language Speakers.
Delaware Nation began language preservation efforts during the 70's with tribal elders from the Anadarko community. This initial project created a vast amount of recordings that has since been our primary resource for many language projects. Continuous efforts through the decades have provided classes and built resources for Delaware Nation Citizen with hopes of producing Lenape language speakers. In this last decade Delaware Nation Cultural Preservation has made greater strides to preserving our language with implementing weekly lessons throughout the year and seeking grants to expand towards more outreach.
He Lenapeok (Hello Lenape People)! Ntiluwensi (my name is) Lauryn French and I am the Lenape Language Coordinator for Delaware Nation. Our Language program has been working immensely in the local area to build a structural foundation that will be viable for the future of all Lenape Language Learners. Moving into my third year at Delaware Nation I have been making strides to build a quality foundation by utilizing existing language resources such as tapes, documentation, and previous lessons. My most effective resource has been from fellow Delaware Nation Lenape Speakers who are Gladys Yackeyonny, Juanita Pewenofkit, Judith De La Rosa, Nicholas Logan, and the late Johnathan Hoag. This group of Delaware Nation Citizens collectively has donated countless hours to the Lenape Language Program and I am truly thankful for their guidance and support.
Recently our language program has been awarded a grant from the Cultural Resource Fund to increase Lenape Language Outreach. I will be working on three projects this coming year that will be made available to all Delaware Nation Citizens. The first project that will be made available is a Lenape Language Calendar with the following projects being book related. I am excited for the upcoming year and the stepping stone that it will provide for our future Lenape Language Learners.
The funding of the program comes directly from the Cultural Preservation Budget (Section 106). It is supported by no federal monies, however, requests for additional assistance may be submitted and approved by the Executive Committee, at their discretion.
Princess Program
The Delaware Nation Princess Program is a program specifically designed to assist our Tribal Princesses during their reigns as our designated representatives of the Delaware Nation.
The program instills the importance of the history and honor of the Princess title with a curriculum that includes history, culture lessons and dance etiquette. We also assist with planned dances and event that are of cultural importance to the Nation. More importantly, the Princess Program is designed to uplift and encourage future leading women of the Delaware Nation.

Nate is hard of hearing born to a hearing family in Chicago, IL. He began to notice his hearing loss in his early 20's. At that time, sign language did not seem like the solution as there was much on his plate with schooling and his involvement in other organizations. Nate graduated with both his BS and MBA from Eastern Illinois University by accommodating his hearing loss with sitting at the front of classes and having one-on-one with teachers and students as he needed. As time progressed, his hearing regressed but that did not stop Nate. He continued to work hard and paid little regard to the setback as it was all he thought he could do. Nate is now in Digital Marketing working for Scottrade on all company's web properties. He recently purchased a house in Creve Coeur and is ready to put down some roots in St. Louis.

Checkout [GLOBAL ART] – PARIS
One of the challenges facing a lot of young artists is finding representation in a gallery. This isn't a new challenge, but what has changed is the active role artists have assumed in the marketing of their own work. While Pop Art may have appropriated consumerism as its subject, art has evolved into an unabashed embracing of commerce, to paraphrase the Tate Modern's description of the Pop Art exhibition currently being shown. Sure, art should speak for itself, but we all know that what it says doesn't mean very much if there isn't an audience. Look up any artist these days and guaranteed you'll find their website, most of which are a sophisticated showcase of their work and themselves. There is nothing wrong with this – in an age where the vacuous crazies demand millions to showcase their shallow, boring, can-it-get-any-more-messed-up lives on reality TV, it's nice to see a group that is usually accused of wanting handouts take charge of its livelihood in an intelligent and sophisticated manner.
The Paris-based art group, Buy-Sellf, is one such group. Their IKEA-referenced name says it all. It is a play on words with multiple interpretations – Buy and make it yourself, by yourself, buy and sell it…. Everything about the name, including the fact that it is in English – the International language of business – points towards marketing, selling, and promoting. In fact, the initial inspiration of Buy-Sellf was a mail order catalogue – which would act as a gallery space – through which artists could promote and sell objects they had thought about, experimented with, and created. The catalogue still exists, and you can still order funky concepts like gum packaged as scotch tape. The materials used for the "gum tape"? Chewing gum and plastic. What has changed, however, is that Buy-Sellf is no longer just a colorful mail-order catalogue. It has evolved into an actual studio space run by artists for artists who have a project in mind, but can't yet afford their own studios and need a place to work. The gallery also helps artists buy their materials (if they can't afford to do so), showcase their work, and anything else they might need.
Two of the Buy-Sellf artists are Laurent Perbos and Boris Chouvellon. I met up with them at Art Toronto. While every other gallery and artist group shipped in their works, Buy-Sellf "created" the works on site. Art works, especially if they are big and bulky, can be very expensive to fly over, so the artists representing Buy-Sellf decided that the only thing they would bring with them to Toronto was the creative concept. The concept would be executed once they arrived in Toronto and would take no longer than ten days to complete. To keep costs down, the artists chose materials that are ready-made, accessible, and cheap. For example, Perbos' Home-Sweet-Home is composed of neon tubes found at your local Home Depot store. His Stumps is composed of rubber hoses tied together. What is interesting is the transformation that occurs as Perbos takes ready-made, inexpensive inanimate objects and transforms them into something organic and animate. The neon tubes in Home-Sweet-Home assume the characteristics of fire in the same way rubber hoses suddenly resemble tree stumps.
The idea that one object can create another object which, in turn, can create another object leads us to question the origin of anything and everything. Perbos' neon tube was once glass tubes filled with neon gas – you can deconstruct from there. The origin of production for Chouvellon's trophies used in the installation piece entitled The Small Illusions is China. China is where all the trophies he uses come from. The irony of cheap trophies piled on top of one another so that they form glitzy, fragile-looking columns is obvious. By using something readily available and inexpensive, and turning it into decorative columns, Chouvellon shows you exactly what these trophies are worth. Chouvellon has made similar trophy installations in Paris. For these he has used real trophies bought at second hand stores. The very fact that these once prized possessions are now relegated as unwanted items denotes the "smallness" and the "illusion" of passing glory.
In the end, Buy-Sellf is conceptual art that is, for the most part, as portable as something from IKEA. Only, unlike IKEA, the creations of Buy-Sellf are the products of mass production, but are not themselves mass produced. And unlike the objects they are made from, they attain a vitality and a meaning that transforms them into art.

= Info = Russian-born actress, Svetlana Metkina, embodies the essence of grace and talent. Her credits to date include films such as "Bobby" and "Mini's First Time." The international tale of Svetlana's success story began at age 11 in the Moscow theater world, growing from there to a string of European films and then stretching inter-continentally, eventually lander her at the center of today's film making circles.
= Career = Irrefutably talented, natural, and with stunning looks, Svetlana followed a charmed path to her first US feature film "Slingshot," starring opposite David Arquette, Thora Birch and Balthazar Getty. Though she always spoke English fluently, Metkina worked especially hard to bring her skillful acting into English for the first time. Thriving in the collaborative environment of this film, Metkina enjoyed the enthusiasm of the film's first-time director Jay Alaimo. Metkina's character had originally been scripted as a man, but they turned the character into a tough independent woman, a jewel fence going by the moniker "Fast Bobby." The film premiered at the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival.
Next in the cards for Metkina, "Mini's First Time" featured her in a superb cast alongside Luke Wilson, Alec Baldwin, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jeff Goldblum and Nikki Reed, who Metkina found "hilariously funny." Metkina plays the delicious part of Russian trophy wife "Jelena." The sexy darkly comic thriller will premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival.
Svetlana's creativity in developing her characters is illuminated by a painstaking thoroughness. She contemplates every aspect of a character step by step. Stories based on classical literature or important historical events are Svetlana's absolute favorite type of films of which to be a part.
Thus, her next film, Bobby (2006), was a dream part for the international beauty. A fictional account of the events surrounding the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, the film also stars William H. Macy, Sharon Stone, Elijah Wood, Lindsay Lohan, Helen Hunt, Freddy Rodriguez, Heather Graham, Christian Slater, Demi Moore and Sir Anthony Hopkins. The experience of filming "Bobby" was summed up by Metkina in one word, "paradise."
Achieving so much in only a few years, Svetlana reminisces fondly of her first acting experiences on stage. Her very first role as an actress, at age 11, was in a children's theater's production of a play similar to CATS, only it was about dogs. Recalling how she played a "shaggy white dog," Svetlana's youthful heart reveals an innocence and openness-to the world, to her acting-in a way that is incredibly endearing to her fans, her co-stars and anyone she meets, in any language.
Svetlana cherishes theater as much as film. At Moscow State University, she studied Theatre, History, Literature, Music, Art and Philosophy. She also attended Shchukin Acting School of Maly Theatre in Moscow, Russia. Following these studies early in her career she graced the screen of several Russian and European films. Shestarred in the thriller, 300 Years Ago; delivered a touching portrayal as Ailia in the film Family; and starred in The Second Front (2005) a Russian-made thriller set during WWII, also starring Ron Perlman, Craig Sheffer and ToddField.
Embracing travel and culture, Svetlana speaks a number of languages and splits her time between Europe, Russia and America, where she especially revels in the differences between America's east and west coasts. Dynamic and multi-faceted, Svetlana paints and writes short stories as a hobby. The single greatest inspiration in her life has always been her family.
Svetlana Metkina, also known as Lana Litwak, has been married to Bold Films producer Michel Litvak, and the couple is currently residing in Los Angeles.
