The sun was shining brightly, of course. The sky was blue and the weather was temperate. There were Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, Kiwanians and Rotarians, antique fire engines and a four-clown band. It was an all-American day. A Norman Rockwell day.
The occasion was a giant slice of mom and apple pie served up to the nation today at the grand opening of the Norman Rockwell Museum, a $9.2 million complex on 36 acres overlooking the Housatonic River. The site is about two miles from Main Street in Stockbridge, the picture-postcard Berkshire town where Rockwell lived and worked from 1953 until his death on Nov. 8, 1978.
The centerpiece of the complex is the one-story white clapboard gallery building, designed by Robert A. M. Stern and built at a cost of $4.4 million. Its portico entrance, topped by a columned cupola and framed by four wooden classical columns, faces a neat and trim lawn resembling a village green. Illustrating Freedom
In the middle of the slate roof is a large, lantern-shaped cupola that allows light into the museum's central gallery, which is dedicated to the Rockwell paintings illustrating the Four Freedoms defined by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1941. A terrace at the rear of the museum overlooks the Housatonic and, to the left, the artist's last studio barn, transported to the site intact.
The museum houses the nation's largest collection of art by Rockwell, with more than 500 paintings and drawings and an archive of 100,000 items, including letters and business documents.Continue reading the main story
The opening, cast in the form of a county fair, was deliberately and profoundly Rockwellesque, with a morning children's parade setting the tone. Under a large tent, a brass quintet played Sousa and Copland. The artist's three sons, Peter, Thomas and Jarvis, planted a flowering cherry tree in their father's memory. The crowd joined in for a spirited rendition of "America the Beautiful."
The line between life and art was a fine one. Many of the models who posed for Rockwell's paintings roamed the grounds with tags that proclaimed: "I was a model!" The models included the artist's sons.
"I used to pose all the time, and, I must say, sometimes I resented it," said his son Peter, a sculptor and museum consultant who lives in Rome. "I got paid $1 an hour, and people outside the family got $5, which I thought was terribly unfair."
Larry Brush, who posed with his children for the 1947 picture "Norman Rockwell Pays a Visit to a Country Doctor," waved away the suggestion that his image, at least for a week, was as famous to the readers of the Saturday Evening Post as Clark Gable. "Well now," he said, puffing on a pipe, "it's the picture and the artist who are famous. We were just lucky enough to stick our noses in." Bursting at the Seams
If Rockwell had been a little less popular, the new museum might not have been necessary, but his powerful grip on the American imagination was choking the old Rockwell museum, known as the Old Corner House, a building that Rockwell and other townspeople helped preserve. The Old Corner House attracted 5,000 visitors in 1969, its first year of operation, when it had only three Rockwell paintings in its collection. Last year, 150,000 people visited the museum.
"We have not marketed the museum; we have not advertised; we have not worked to attract visitors," said Laurie Norton Moffatt, the museum's 36-year-old director.
The Old Corner House was an intimate setting for Rockwell's work. Too intimate. Its 3,000 square feet of exhibition space was inadequate for a collection that swelled dramatically when, in 1973, Rockwell gave the museum 367 paintings, preliminary sketches and studies in pencil, charcoal and oil. Three years later, he donated his studio and its contents. Later, the museum acquired more Rockwells, flush with a $2 million endowment from the artist.
In 1983, the museum's board agreed to acquire Linwood, an estate on the outskirts of town, for $500,000 and to build a new museum there. The project was financed with $3.5 million in bonds issued through the Massachusetts Industrial Finance Agency, a semipublic economic development office, and $5 million from donors. The fund raising started off in grand style when the film director Steven Spielberg, a Rockwell collector, gave a large donation and turned around and persuaded Steven J. Ross, then the chairman of Time Warner Inc., to follow suit. The museum declined to state the amount of the gifts. 'Moving the Shrine'
In 1987, Mr. Stern came on as the architect for the main gallery. "The problem was moving the shrine out of its context on Main Street," Mr. Stern said. "I had to find something appropriate to Rockwell."
Mr. Stern said the solution lay in finding references and forms that would evoke Rockwell and the kind of small New England town whose atmosphere suffuses his work.
The finished museum suggests a New England town hall and provides twice as much exhibition space as the Old Corner House.
"This is a monumental American building that reflects the fact that I take Rockwell very seriously," Mr. Stern said. "I think he's a very important American artist."
That opinion puts a lot of distance between Mr. Stern and many art critics, but he cannot be embarrassed about it. "I'm perfectly suited to Rockwell," he said. His Own Niche
Ms. Moffatt, too, makes her arguments for Rockwell confidently, although she knows quite well what the highbrows think and is familiar with the litany of sneer terms, like sentimental and corny. The suggestion that Rockwell perhaps does not stand in the front rank of American artists does not faze her. "It's a debate I choose not to engage in, because Rockwell himself was not interested in it," she said in an interview last week at the museum.
She continued: "I believe in placing him in the context of the field of illustration. He chose his niche; he loved it and was exceedingly gifted at it. As an illustrator, he was able to remain current for 65 years, which really is remarkable."
Ms. Moffatt defines the museum's mission in populist terms. The primary goal is to allow the thousands of Americans who love Rockwell, and who may never have visited an art museum before, to see the work in congenial surroundings and to come away with a clear understanding of Rockwell's life, career and working methods.
To help place Rockwell in the history of illustration, for example, the museum will mount an exhibition next year devoted to the work of Howard Pyle, one of Rockwell's early influences.
A current installation, "From Idea to Illustration," explains Rockwell's painstaking methods, which involved a careful five-stage progression from rough sketch to finished painting.
The museum has been open to the public since April 3. At the current pace, about 250,000 people will visit the museum in its first year.
For adults who remember Rockwell's work, particularly the 321 images that appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post over a period of nearly 50 years, the gallery installations offer a chance to reminisce about, first, the work itself, then about the America that Rockwell has remembered for them, an America that the artist himself freely admitted presenting in an idealized form. As Rockwell put it, "I just painted life the way I would like it to be."
The greatest hits are there, including the "Triple Self-Portrait," which shows Rockwell at the easel, looking into a mirror that reflects the image that he has already painted on the canvas in front of him.
Visitors approach the exhibits as though they were leafing through a family album.
"You'll see grandparents using the paintings to explain to their grandchildren what life used to be like in America," said Ms. Moffatt. "If kids can look at a painting, get it and discuss it, and then move on to work that's less easy to understand, that's a good introduction to museum-going."Continue reading the main story

text: Detail Mutant 5 Posted May 20, 2018 I have a client with a 2006 Black BMW E85 Z4 convertible with fabric top. They are are looking for suggestions on products to maintain vehicle. For the paint work I am suggesting ONR, Big Red Sponge and OCW as drying aid (as the wax seems to look better on darker colors than opti-seal) and using Pluffle microfiber from the Rag Company for drying. For the fabric convertible top, I am unsure what Optimum products would be most appropriate. Most dedicated fabric convertible top cleaners are mild APC that are easily rinsed away. What would be the recommended Optimum product? Power Clean seems a bit to aggressive to me and based on my experience (at least 3:1 dilution ratio)requires significant volume of water to fully rinse off. Would ONR work and what would be the best application and drying method? What about about ONRWW on the fabric top, any concerns with the wax content? What about Optimum Fabric and Carpet Clean and Protect? Would this have any impact to application and/or longevity to fabric protection (Scotchgard, 303 or other)? Any suggestions would be helpful as I would like to keep the products within the Optimum "synergy" to maintain maximum efficiency for the client so they are more likely to keep up on exterior maintenance. Note the vehicle is garaged over the winter so there is no need to worry about winter maintenance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On DVD in a fantastic box set from MHz Networks is one of the most popular television series, and my personal favorite, BORGEN.
Season One introduces us to Birgitte Nyborg (Sidse Babett Knudsen), the leader of the Moderate Party who rises to the position of Prime Minister by underhanded political dealings. She learns quickly that a new time still hasn't shed old traditions.
Now her world changes becoming country's leader and having to rely on husband Phillip (Mikael Birkkjaer) to take more responsibility with their children Magnus (Emil Poulsen) and teenage daughter Laura (Freja Riemann). As a professor, the pressures cause him to make decisions I think a more secure man might think twice about.
Watching her every move is TV1 and reporter Katrine Fonsmark (Birgitte Hjort Sorensen), a young woman who has secrets of her own and has no problem finding out secrets of others. The studios editor Torben Friis (Soren Malling) has to keep the stories coming out of the parliament straight, even when they are twisted. One of those doing the twisting is former Prime Minister Michael Laugesen (Peter Mygind) who is out to bring it all down.
Prime Minister Nyborg, with the help of her spin-doctor Kasper Juul (Johan Philip Asbaek), she must navigate a political life that is filled with dealmakers, old ideals and open democracy – and keep her family together.
Season Two jumps right in as PM Brigitte Nyborg (Sidse Babett Knudsen) is trying to have a career and family. Divorced from ex-husband Philip (Mikael Birkkjaer) they sharing the responsibilities of caring for daughter Laura (Freja Riemann) and Magnus (Emil Poulsen).
Still hoping that there is something between them, Nyborg is struck with the news that Philip has a girlfriend and wants her to meet their children. Knowing she must move on she dives deeper into her work.
She visits Afghanistan as Denmark is deciding if downsizing their contribution in that country is warranted. Visiting the camp, along with journalist Katrine Fonsmark (Birgitte Hjort Sorensen), the trip turns deadly as soldiers are killed. Now, Nyborg must return to her country and is embroiled in bitter debates on how best to make sense of the soldiers lost and still do what's best for everyone concerned.
When Katrine returns and realizes she doesn't want to write trashy stories for THE EXPRESS, the tries her hand at being a spin doctor for one of the cabinet members. When that doesn't work out she returns to her roots at TV1 and rekindles a relationship with Kasper Juul (Pilou Asbaek), the Prime Ministers media advisor and spin-doctor.
When Nyborg decides to take on bringing peace between two African countries, her daughter Laura becomes ill and the two collide as tensions for peace means thousands of lives saved.
This season seats change, positions are made clear and lines are drawn as the Prime Minister refuses to be sacrifice what is right in trade for what another party may want in exchange for votes.
Season Three, which is sadly the final season of BORGEN, Birgitte Nyborg (Sidse Babett Knudsen), has ended her position as Prime Minister of Denmark. Coming in two years later so much in Nyborg's life has drastically changed.
Now traveling as a speaker, the former PM Nyborg travels much of the time. The relationships with husband Michael is in a good place and her children Laura (Freja Riemann) and Magnus (Emil Poulsen) have adjusted.
Finally, a little personal happiness has come into her life as British architect Jeremy Welsh makes his feelings known. With all of this one would think it would be enough, but not for Nyborg as she begins to feel the pangs of politics.
Approaching Kruse, the leader of the Moderate party, to come back she is quickly rebuffed. Hearing what the new ideals of the party are she comes to terms with the face that she no longer supports what the Moderates are doing.
Only Birgitte Nyborg could shake things up when she puts together a new party to challenge the status quo. Hiring television reporter Katrine Fonsmark (Birgitte Sorensen), the New Democrats come together with members of other parties including Bent Sejro (Lars Knutzon) and take on issues that will get them into parliament.
With the media watching along with Torben Friis (Sorn Malling) of TV1, Hanne Holm (Benedikte Hansen) and Simon Bech (Anders Juul), even Kasper Juul (Pilou Asbaek) can't help throwing in his experience with Nyborg.
Nothing is off limits as the new party takes on pork farmers, in-house spies, communism and sex workers with a Season 3 finale that only BORGEN can provide!
FINAL WORD: Knudsen is the spot on choice for taking this role. From the moment she enters the story it is clear what kind of woman she is – and that doesn't always help her cause. She is so relatable with her issues of home life, marriage, kids and charmingly enough, her weight.
Her character is solid, and sincerely focused on wanting the best for her country and, at the same time, trying to progress along with it. It is the old guard still in place that from the moment she takes office, make it their duty to stir up trouble and cast her in a bad light. From underhanded dealings to secrets built in the system, Nyborg is never caught off guard long and her family pays the price.
Knudsen is born to play this role and that's the absolutely true! She has a commanding presence as the Prime Minister and keeps her emotions in check constantly (which also must be exhausting). When she does finally release emotion it's with a righteous anger knowing that there may be no answers to her questions.
Her intensity just seeps through the screen and into the viewer, which always made me wonder what she would do next. Managing to surprise me in quite a few episodes is what makes a good character along with a good storyline and Knudsen envelopes them both. There are so many places this character can go and I, for one, will be waiting on pins and needles for what is to in Season Three!
Knudsen is the center of this series and riveting to watch. In the final season Knudsen's character takes so many risks that I almost felt like I was being intrusive. I can't imagine anyone else playing this role and trust me when I say no one else could. This is a female character who is intelligent, emotional, rational, realistic and, most importantly, a feeling human being. Knudsen seems to have a grasp on all of those delivering episode after episode and viewers are thrilled.
Birkkjaer as husband Philip loves his marriage and his family but, as with most partnerships where one is more successful, problems arise. The tear between being a regular husband and the husband of the first female Prime Minister doesn't come with a prep list.
Sorensen as Katrine the ambitious reporter is a serious duality. On one hand she has no problem pointing out the secrets and lies of others but doesn't seem to be able to do the same for her own life. Sorensen grabs this role and takes viewers on a ride that is unpredictable at times. Sorensen goes through a lot of transformations as well. She seems more dedicated in her journalistic skin refusing to throw mud at anyone for any reason.
Sorensen really breaks out the third season. At the end of Season Two, this character was attempting to have a relationship and life with Kasper Juul. Wanting children was a big issue with this couple and in the final season, Fonsmark gets her wish. Of course immediately it can be said 'be careful what you wish for' and that comes into play repeatedly. Sorensen plays every aspect of a new mother, jilted lover and working woman with such believability it's crazy!
Where Katrine is, Asbaek as Kasper is not far behind. This character is truly amazing filled with issues begging for a psychiatrist's sofa and oodles of time. Yet, at the same time, Asbaek plays this character with skill, grace and a hint of humor. As Kasper he has a chance to reveal more about this character. Season one dropped breadcrumbs for the audience as to what made this spin-doctor tick. Audiences are going to be shocked at secrets that had to surface now in order for this character to grow. He's still quick on his feet, quick in mind and a little outspoken but that's why I like him!
There are such intense characters in this series that to name them all would require a book, but then again I want viewers to unravel these characters and events themselves.
MHz Networks is bringing the best of world programming to American viewers. BORGEN is just one of many programs they have to offer with more including SPIRAL, THE YOUNG MONTALBANO, BECK and ANNO 1790 plus more! MHz networks have stations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Denver, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and Washington, D.C. MHz can also be found on iOS, Android, Google TV, VOD and the MHz Home Entertainment with more at www.mhznetworks.org.
TUBS OF POPCORN: I give BORGEN an amazing four and a half tubs of popcorn out of five. Sometimes not knowing what to expect is a good thing and such is the case for BORGEN. The show is slow and deliberate and each step it takes are stories that are full with anticipation and outcome.
Knudsen captured me instantly with her strong nature even when that was the last thing she wanted to be. Taking on the problems of a country and the people within her own government, her solutions had me applauding. The issues of family life are so true-to-life that it draws the viewer deeper into the story.
Every character in BORGEN has a purpose and a mission that causes clashes as each follow their own agenda. From the storyline of Greenland to making sure women have a place in Danish government, none of the important issues BORGEN addresses are to far from home for American viewers.
The relationship between the government and the media is also an interesting one. Bringing these two stories together offered surprises, twists, understanding and even, dare I say, compassion. Knudsen's character as Prime Minister knows the dangers of tackling all of these issues yet is stead fast and will surprise a new audience with this amazing series.
This is what television should be – intelligent, riveting, though provoking, stellar in its presentation, open, and sometimes controversial. From week to week politicians come and go whether by design, disaster or self-decision but never, ever count them out. There is mystery, cover-ups, and serious political douchbaggery of all kind in BORGEN.
With that said there is no way to NOT have an opinion on each character and it will be rooted deep! For instance, I think the Prime Ministers husband is a total wuss for not standing behind his wife, I think Hanne Holm should be editor of THE EXPRESS and get rid of that total rag-writing sore loser Laugesen, Bent Sejro needs to get back in the game. On a personal note – Kasper and Katrine need to get that house they keep looking at and get out of that box of an apartment, just saying.
This is what the series has done to me! I love each character for their own uniqueness and am always surprised in the director each episode takes. From family, to politics, to country BORGEN reaches out to touch it all.
Can you tell I'm a ridiculously a huge fan? There are reasons for this. First and foremost, this series has a brilliant storyline that never gets tired taking on very serious issues and not letting anything slide in the resolution.
Second, the cast is stellar – period. Every character in this series has a purpose for being there and no situation is wasted. Led by the marvelous Knudsen whose own story line in Season Three is very close to home for many women, it does so without dripping with platitudes.
Instead, once again, the writers and Knudsen put together a woman who is completely realistic which is why, to my way of thinking, the series is relevant. This actress portrays a character that is strong, rational when needed and irrational with reason, she is loving – not only of her family but also of her country – she is smart and thorough giving those around her the same chance to succeed.
Supported by Sorensen as Fonsmark, she is another woman who is going through drastic changes. Realizing that motherhood isn't just answering the biological clock, she comes to terms with her biggest fears, loss of love and finding a happy medium for it all.
Season Three is definitely woman oriented but not overly so. I did miss having Kasper behind the political curtain but giving Sorenson a chance to step forward I was hoping beyond hope there could be a Season Four that will put them head-to-head as equal spin-doctors. A girl can dream can't she?
BORGEN actually means 'the castle' referring to Christiansborg Palace which is where Parliament, the Prime Minister and the Supreme Court are located. Written and produced by Adam Price, he is also responsible for the original Danish hit series THE KILLING.
Television has re-awakened audiences to new and innovative shows that go far beyond what watchers have ever known. This series is from the producers of THE KILLING and has also won awards from BAFTA for Best International Television series of 2012.

In the end – BORGEN is everything and more in television programming!

ESCARNIUM - Genocide Ritual (MISANTHROPIC Records - 7"EP 2014)
I hope you all know and remember Escarnium, a killer Brazilian death squad, which delivered a truly awesome album titled "Excruciating Existence" couple of years ago and before that also some very nice demos, collected under "Rex Vormitorum" title. Yes, for me this is one of the strongest and most interesting, worthy South American bands at the moment, so I kept my eyes open for some new recordings of them… and finally a new EP came under the title "Genocide Ritual", released on 7" vinyl by the unknown Misanthropic Records. And let me tell you that this is another insane recording from Escarnium. This band is just awesome and I can't already wait for their upcoming full length album.
As for "Genocide Ritual", there's only one thing, which I don't like about it… and that's very short duration of this EP. Only two songs and about six minutes of music! OK, I know this is a single and they're always short, but nowadays some bands come up with 7"EPs with ten or more minutes of music, so six is maybe slightly not enough for me hehe! It just finishes too quick, each side goes by with the lightning speed… and I want more of this crushing, dark, brutal death metal! Anyway, Escarnium, just like such killer bands as Demonic Rage or Coldblood, deliver fantastic dose of South American death metal highly influenced by two major US heroes: Immolation and Incantation! Of course, there are some more influential bands, but these two are the major ones. And when I mention these two, then you'll immediately know what to expect from this music. And it is a real crazy, fast, massively heavy and violent death metal, perfectly executed and with awesome production, not to mention the dark, gloomy atmosphere. Escarnium waste no time, take no prisoners, but delivers their artillery with no hesitation and fire with no mercy. I just love both songs here, especially "Radioactive Doom"… it's a stunning release, so I am sure that all maniacs of this style will love it also. Well, if you liked "Excruciating Existence" then "Genocide Ritual" will not disappoint you. I'm waiting for more and a longer recording!
Final rate: 83/100

A little e-mail battle brewing over the past few days between Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas and Mike Huckabee, the former governorof Arkansas, is escalating into an endless Punch-and-Judy show. And like spellbound children, we're captivated by every volley.
It all started with an e-mail written by the Rev. Tim Rude, a Huckabee supporter, asking two Brownback supporters to consider switching sides. The longish e-mail contained some typical pitches, but there was also this:
Huckabee is an evangelical. He has not learned how to speak to evangelicals; i.e. Bush 41 & 43. He is one of us. I know Senator Brownback converted to Roman Catholicism in 2002. Frankly, as a recovering Catholic myself, that is all I need to know about his discernment when compared to the Governor's. I don't if this fact is widely known among evangelicals who are supporting Brownback. [sic.]
Evidently, Mr. Rude's appeal didn't work for at least one of the recipients, because a couple of blogs got wind. Mr. Huckabee's campaign issued a statement Wednesday saying that he was glad Mr. Rude apologized but that the e-mails "were not authorized by, disseminated by, approved by, or condoned by the campaign."
He continued:
I consider Sam Brownback a Christian brother and know that he feels likewise toward me. Like Senator Brownback, several key members of my staff are Roman Catholic. As believers, we don't have time to fight each other.
Well, um, apparently they do have time to fight each other. That e-mail hit our inbox yesterday. A few hours later came a missive from the Brownback campaign calling Mr. Rude's apology "tepid" and the Huckabee response "evasive."
Chip Saltsman, Mr. Huckabee's campaign manager, must've spent all night stewing over that one, because this morning, he sent out one of the angrier statements we've seen:
It's time for Sam Brownback to stop whining and start showing some of the Christian character he seems to always find lacking in others. He has attacked Governor Huckabee for something that a Huckabee supporter said in an email sent to two individuals. The person who originated the email has apologized and is not a member of the Huckabee staff. For Brownback to claim that the Governor "owes him an apology" is nonsense and indicates that if Brownback is going to fall to pieces every time a supporter of the Governor says something he doesn't like, he clearly isn't tough enough to be President. The Governor strongly disavowed the statement by the supporter, but that wasn't enough for Brownback. He continued to cry about it. The irony is that unlike Senator Brownback, I have been a Catholic my entire life, as have several of the senior staff members in the Huckabee campaign. Governor Huckabee enjoys strong support from Catholics and for good cause. If Senator Brownback wants to start apologizing for inappropriate things said, perhaps he could pull the "beam out of his own eye before taking the speck out of someone else's" by apologizing for the website 'Baptists for Brownback' that states that Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Fred Thompson and others are 'Hell bound.'
"We don't condone or support attacks on people for their faith–whether it comes from our supporters or from his. Senator Brownback surely has better things to do than police the private emails of a single supporter who said things for which he later apologized and which should have been sufficient for most Christians to accept. As a lifelong Catholic, I was taught that when a person apologized, we were to forgive him and go forward, not shop for other apologies from people not even involved in the original sin. It's time for these silly accusations to stop and for all of us to focus on leading the country and solving problems that the American people care about.
That one apparently made something snap in the Brownback campaign. Their next release included a copy of an e-mail that Martin Gillespie, Mr. Brownback's national political director, sent to Mr. Saltsman on July 29 asking, "Can we count on you guys to put an end to this trash on your end?"
"After two days, the Huckabee campaign did not respond, which left the impression that they would not take action to end the anti-Catholic whisper campaign by their supporters," said John Rankin, a Brownback spokesman, in the statement. "While we are all delighted that Mr. Saltsman is a lifelong Catholic, we deplore the anti-Catholic whisper campaign being perpetuated by Huckabee supporters. The Huckabee campaign's response lacked a clear denunciation of the offensive contents of the email.
"On a further note, the website that Mr. Saltsman refers to–Baptists for Brownback–is a spoof site with no ties to the Brownback campaign. We are sorry that this obvious parody was lost on Mr. Saltsman."
So that's the latest, but not necessarily the last, in the feud. Both Messrs. Brownback and Huckabee have sought to attract social conservatives dissatisfied by the top tier Republicans, but neither has managed to take off. Both are looking for strong showings in the Ames, Iowa straw poll — in which neither Rudolph W. Giuliani nor Senator John McCain are competing — on Aug. 11, to demonstrate viability, something that all the conservative credentials in the world can't provide.

My cardmaker of the year 2015 entries
Hi everyone, each year Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine run a Cardmaker of the Year competition. You have to send in three cards and the winner receives a huge prize of craft goodies and a chance to craft for the magazine. There are also prizes for the runners up. This year I thought I would have a go so I've sent in three cards.
The first is made with the Bohemian range from Trimcraft.
I tore up little strips of different papers from the 6×6 pack and glued them lightly to the card before sewing over them with the sewing machine. This was my first attempt at sewing on card so I was a bit scared but it went through perfectly and I'm so pleased with the result! The only thing you have to watch out for is that sewing through card/paper may blunt the needle over time so you may want to have separate needles for card and fabric.
Next I die cut an aperture in the card and then hung a little metal key in it with twine.
I then stamped the 'love and wishes' sentiment on to kraft card, cut it into a banner shape and attached it with foam tape. The inside of the card is decorated with Bohemian paper too.
My next card is made with Graphic 45 papers. I used the 8×8 Botanical Tea paper pad and recipe stamps from Lili of the Valley.
I made an easel card which is propped up by a little 'eat cake' sentiment (Vintage Affections stamps from LDRS, Birthday Sentiments, Personal Impressions).
I mounted the stamped image on to layers of scalloped circles and inked them with Tim Holtz distress ink in antique linen. I've not used Tim Holtz inks before and I bought a little mini pack of distress inks in brown shades to try out and I'm really pleased with the antique linen one (the only one I've tried so far) – it actually looks like the paper is coloured/aged rather than having ink just smeared on it like some of my other projects do!
For the top of the easel card I made a shallow pocket which the stamped recipes are tucked into. I punched a hole in the top of each one and added twine or lace so they can be pulled out.
The teapot and cup on the front are cut from the Botanical Tea papers.
For my final card I wanted to do something a bit more modern, and one of the most recent craft trends I could think of was washi tape! I decided to do something a bit different and wrapped the washi tape round a panel of white card before embossing it with the Xcut polka heart embossing folder.
I then hand-cut a polaroid style white frame to go over the top. The background brick paper has a little bit of an urban feel so I graffitied it up with some gold spritzing ink, which I let run down the card in little shiny gold rivers. I added a 'happy birthday' sentiment die cut with a Paper Smooches die from kraft card and then punched three hearts from Glitz 'Felicity' paper.
To finish I added a banner tucked under the frame and added a little string bow.
And here are the cards all together before they were sent off!

Let Me Break it Down for You: BIKERS INSIDE THE BELTWAY
Hey, you, yeah, YOU reading this. Are you coming to Bikers Inside the Beltway on May 14 & 15? If not then you can skip this article, but you also should reevaluate your decision making because Bikers Inside the Beltway (aka BITB) is one the MRF's best events and is a good time for all.
Okay, if you are still reading this and you are confirmed to attend BITB or thinking about attending then you are going to want to absorb the following. Even if you are a long-time attendee – there is some good stuff you need to know. I am going to offer you a roadmap of what to do and how to do it as you prepare for BITB. Play along….
1. Register to attend! WHEN? ASAP!!!!
There's no cost to you, but you do need to let us know you are coming because we need to make sure we have enough materials/space/etc. You can register at https://mrf.org/events/ or by calling 202-546-0983
2. Book Your Hotel WHEN? By April 15
We have 2 options for you – The Best Western in Falls Church for $125/night OR the Governor's House Inn at $89/night. They are across the street from each other and a quick ride into the Capitol. Also, we'll hold our prep session here on Monday night, May 14.
3. SCHEDULE Appointments with your Elected Officials WHEN? Start on April 16!
Okay, guys – this is the most important one. No more "drop bys" which many groups have done in the past.

See more on this below….

This year we're also hosting a "debrief" session at the local American Legion just a couple blocks from the Capitol. Starting at 3pm you can drop by, download on your meetings, have a drink and some food courtesy of our BITB sponsors and compare notes and any follow-up that's necessary.

Sanchez is not thought to be effectively forcing a move away from Arsenal but is hopeful that an a can be reached in time to leave the Gunners this month.
It remains possible Manchester City could include Raheem Sterling as part of a second offer, and Naijland understands the England international would be open to leaving Etihad Stadium.
Wenger admires both Sergio Aguero and Sterling but Manchester City have not yet formally indicated either would be made available, and the clubs continue to be some distance apart in negotiations.

At the Heart of Holiday Villages: Dalaman
Dalaman is generally known because of Dalaman airport and many people ignore the beautiful sides of this amazing place sometimes. However, with its shores, bays and historical places, Dalaman is worth to be explored. This place guarantees a good weather unlike many other cities on Mediterranean coasts. Dalaman that hosts every tone of blue and offers a visual feast with its green forests on the very place where the coast ends is a unique beauty. It invites travellers with its many surroundings full of historical and natural beauties especially Patara Ancient City. When we center Dalaman; Kas, Akyaka, Bozburun, Adakoy, Marmaris, Gocek, Fethiye, Oludeniz and Kalkan are the most amazing places that come to mind. Apart from these places there are nearer places that charm their visitors such as Dalaman Warercourse. This is one of the most important rafting track for the ones who want to add a pinch of adventure to their holiday. Another place is Gokgemile Bay. Luckily this place has not destructed by facilities yet, so it still remains virgin. You can visit historical remains, eat food and enjoy the calmness of sea. Sarigerme Beach has a big importance on Dalaman. Being one of the longest beaches of Turkey with its 7 kms long, has a wide strand. With waves on the shores, and green pinewoods Sarigerme offers you a real relaxing atmosphere. Tlos Ancient City is another choice for visitors. This city was once one of the most important residental areas of Lycians. There is an ancient theatre and acropolis walls that date back to 3 BC. Everything you see here takes you to the ancient times and feel the lifestyle of them. Because Dalaman is very close to other holiday villages such as Marmaris, Dalyan, Fethiye and Gocek one should not just stick to Dalaman. There are many eye brightening places around and inside of these districts and they invite many people from all over the world both in summer and winter with its warm weather, blue bays, green forests, nightlife full of joy, blue cruises, historical remains, ancient cities, traditional flavors waiting to be tasted, adventurous activities such as rafting, diving, sailing, parachuting, tracking and many other possibilities.

Updated November 08, 2018 41 41 people found this article helpful All computers ship with software called an operating system (OS) to manage all the software and hardware on the computer and to provide an interface that humans can use to interact with the machines. Operating system software runs not just on laptop computers but also on smartphones, tablets, network routers and other smart devices. Types of Operating Systems Corporations, universities, and enterprising individuals developed hundreds of computer operating systems over the years. The best-known operating systems are those found on personal computers: Microsoft WindowsMacOSLinux (a UNIX-like OS) Some operating systems are designed for certain types of equipment, such as: Apple iOS and Google Android for smartphones and tabletsSolaris, HP-UX, DG-UX, and other variants of Unix for server computersDEC VMS (Virtual Memory System) for mainframe computersApple's tvOS for Apple TV digital media playersWear OS for Google smartwatches Other operating systems enjoyed a period of notoriety but are of only historical interest now: Novell Netware was a popular OS for PCs in the 1990s.IBM OS/2 was an early PC OS that competed with Microsoft Windows for a time but had limited success in the consumer market.Multics was an especially innovative operating system created for mainframes in the 1960s that influenced the later development of Unix. Network Operating Systems A modern O/S contains much built-in software designed to simplify the networking of a computer. Typical O/S software includes an implementation of TCP/IP protocol stack and related utility programs like ping and traceroute, along with the necessary device drivers and other software to automatically enable a device's Ethernet or wireless interface. The operating systems of mobile devices normally provide the programs needed to enable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other wireless connectivity. Early versions of Microsoft Windows did not provide any support for computer networking. Microsoft added basic networking capability to its operating system starting with Windows 95 and Windows for Workgroups. Microsoft also introduced its Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) feature in Windows 98 Second Edition (Win98 SE) and Windows HomeGroup for home networking in Windows 7. Contrast that with Unix, which was designed from the beginning with networking in view. Most modern operating systems qualify as network operating systems due to the popularity of the internet and home networking. Embedded Operating Systems A so-called embedded system supports no or limited configuration of its software. Embedded systems like routers, for example, typically include a preconfigured web server, DHCP server, and some utilities, but they do not allow the installation of new programs. Examples of embedded operating systems for routers include: Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System)DD-WRTJuniper Junos Continue Reading

The bettors may not like what they see when they come across the name Notinrwildestdremz, scheduled to race Sunday at Aqueduct. The filly is 4, late to be making her first start, and her morning workout times suggest she is in no hurry to get to the finish line. She is by the sire Griffinite, who has never produced a horse of any note; she is not much bigger than a Great Dane; and her trainer, Billy Turner, usually does not have his horses peak in their first try.
But what the horseplayers will not know is that Notinrwildestdremz is a feisty little thing with attitude and that she has overcome long odds just to be alive. Sometimes horses don't have to be runners to be winners.
Notinrwildestdremz began life as one of the 177 horses that were starving and all but abandoned when authorities raided the Climax, N.Y., farm of the prominent owner and breeder Ernie Paragallo in April 2009.
At the time, no one gave a thought to any of these horses as racers. The only goal was to save as many of them as possible. The local Humane Society and other horse rescue and welfare groups did just that. Only a handful did not make it, and the vast majority were nursed back to reasonable health and given homes.
"For any horse to just make it out of that place and prosper is just fantastic," said Ron Perez, the president of the Columbia-Greene Humane Society and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who oversaw the rescue operation. "To think that one could actually race would be unbelievable considering what the place looked like when we got there. When I heard that this horse was going to run, I almost fell out of my chair."
Perez needed to find good homes for the Paragallo horses, and a Brooklyn couple, Sean and Angelika Kerr, were among the first to step forward. Like many others, the Kerrs were horrified when they heard the story of an owner who had amassed more than $20 million in purse earnings and owned an early favorite for the 1996 Kentucky Derby yet could be so callous when it came to his horses' welfare. Paragallo was subsequently convicted of animal cruelty.Continue reading the main story
The Kerrs were asked to adopt three Paragallo horses, all of them yearlings and the last three to find homes.
"Given that it was four months after they took Paragallo's horses from him, they certainly weren't as emaciated as what you saw in newspapers," Sean Kerr said. "Still, they were absolutely underweight. You could see bones and they didn't have a lot of flesh. They were pretty spindly looking, but not as bad" as the pictures that had surfaced when the situation became public.
Many of the survivors were broodmares past their racing age. Perez said about 25 yearlings were among the rescued horses, but apparently none of the new owners besides the Kerrs believed any could be patched back together for racing. Notinrwildestdremz, who has been training at Belmont Park, will be the first Paragallo rescue horse to race.
"I saw this as an opportunity," Sean Kerr said. "There were a lot of people that were horrified by the story but also absolutely love horse racing and were horrified at the idea of what might happen to these horses. I thought there was a chance that we could get a lot of people behind a project, take a risk and try to turn these horses around."
The Kerrs had dabbled in racing as breeders but had been unlucky, never getting a horse to the races. Rather than take on this project themselves, they reached out to friends and to strangers through Facebook. They asked people to put up whatever they could to go into a partnership that would attempt to race the three Paragallo horses they had adopted.
They wound up with 120 partners, one of whom put up only $25, in what they called 5R Racehorse Stables, for rescue, rehabilitation, racing, retraining and retiring.
5R Racehorse Stables had a daunting task. The first two years of a horse's life are crucial to future success because that is when they are growing and being molded into racehorses. Without proper nutrition and care, they do not develop properly.
"She has to overcome her upbringing, which appeared to be an insurmountable issue at one time," said Turner, who trained the 1977 Triple Crown winner, Seattle Slew. "Anytime you have a nutrition problem as a young horse, your career is compromised right there. The whole idea of this is, is it possible to bring a horse back that had been stunted in their growth from birth and for a considerable time? It's an uphill climb."
Some of those issues have already ended the racing careers of the two others the Kerrs rescued. One, a colt, developed hydrocephalus, or water on the brain. The affliction is a result of the horse being denied water and then drinking in excess when having access to it. The Kerrs retired the colt and still care for him.
Despite the signs indicating Notinrwildestdremz may struggle on the track, the Kerrs believe she has the ability to compete on the tough New York circuit.
"One thing about her is she is extremely competitive," Sean Kerr said. "When she works out, she tries to intimidate the other horses and it doesn't matter if the other horses are twice her size. She's breezed with older geldings and gone neck and neck with those guys. The consistent thing we hear from everyone is attitude; she absolutely has the attitude."
The Kerrs are looking to expand 5R beyond one horse and recently bought another. They want to bring people into racing who otherwise could not afford it by offering them small shares in their horses.
And they want to focus attention on the sport's more contentious issues, like horse welfare and retirement, and the proliferation of drugs. The Kerrs have vowed that none of their horses will race on any medications, including Lasix, a legal antibleeding drug given to about 98 percent of all horses that race.
"Yes, this is an industry, but I want to take the industry out of it and make people understand that we have a stewardship with the horses and that's something we should take very seriously," Angelika Kerr said.
The Kerrs expect about 40 partners to be at Aqueduct on Sunday, as well as a good-size group of people who have helped along the way, like veterinarians, farriers and the trainers who prepared Notinrwildestdremz for racing before she was given to Turner in January.
"Every single person in the stable is of the opinion that we have succeeded already," Sean Kerr said. "The fact that she has even gotten to Belmont Park and is in training, we have already succeeded. If she races just this one race, she's already won, and everybody feels quite strongly about that."Continue reading the main story

In celebration of recently signing with Bluntface Records, Joplin, Missouri's Gravehuffer are set to unleash their most recent material to be included on the vinyl edition of their latest album, "Your Fault". Always looking to push beyond their own limitations, and eager to give back to their fans, the band recently entered the studio to record two bonus tracks for their upcoming vinyl release. The first track appropriately titled, "Your Fault" sees the band firing on all cylinders and pulling no punches. Featuring a guest guitar solo by Carlo Regadas (ex-Carcass, ex-Black Star, and current guitarist for Monstrance) this track alone will make the vinyl purchase worth it, and can easily be a strong and fitting representation of what this band is all about for newly acquired fans.
If you can imagine an other worldly beast soaked in heaviness and packed to the brim with filthy grooves and punishing vocals and riffs reminiscent of some hybrid form of early Dismember, Entombed, and perhaps even Bolt Thrower all with the signature stylings that this unique and relentless band has come to be known for-you might have some idea of what is set to pummel your ear drums. Pre-sales for the vinyl edition of Your Fault will be available soon.
Since their inception in 2008, Gravehuffer has crafted their sound into an other-worldly amalgamation of Crust, Punk, Metal, Grindcore, and unapologetic down-tuned Sludge-laden Doom.
From the remnants of former projects Initial Detonation, H.R.B., and Aether Bunny, Krom was formed. Krom evolved into what is now known as Gravehuffer. Without ever making a conscious effort to do so, the Joplin, Missouri band proudly shuns the confines of genre confinements and so-called rules for the sake of the music itself and their collective creative output. Featuring James Hiser on vocals, Ritchie Randall on guitar, and a rhythm section comprised of Mike Jilge on bass, and Larry Deardorff on drums, Gravehuffer steers clear of trends and limits by being themselves and letting the music take them where it wants to go. With an assortment of 28 original songs in their repertoire that showcase the vast array of influence the band pulls from and a fearlessness to never conform or compromise, Gravehuffer is in it for the sake of the songs and the art itself in a world where most are content to follow rather than lead.
Gravehuffer has signed on with Bluntface Records for a special vinyl release of their acclaimed Your Fault album, which features 2 bonus tracks and a guest solo by former Carcass lead guitarist Carlo Regadas.

Volkswagen To Build Electric Cars In North America
Mired in a self imposed malaise composed of equal parts diesel exhaust and corporate malfeasance, Volkswagen is trying desperately to reposition itself as an electric car company and put the stink of its emissions cheating scandal behind it. During an interview near the company's factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee recently, Hinrich Woebcken, the newest and latest head of Volkswagen's US operations, confirmed the German auto maker plans to build electric vehicles in North America by 2020. "We believe that this country, especially in urban mobility, will have a very strong shift from petrol engines into hybridization and electric cars," Mr. Woebcken said. "We are heavily investing in this one—including production in this North American region."
Woebcken was short on details. He did not specify which models the company would build or where they would be built. In addition to the factory in Tennessee, Volkswagen also has a large production facility in Mexico. It would be good politics to build electric cars in the US to help mollify regulators who are threatening the company with billions in fines. The company has already agreed to pay nearly $15 billion to resolve legal claims brought by federal and state authorities.
Just yesterday, it was hit with civil law suits brought by the states of New York, Massachusetts, and Maryland seeking millions more. The attorneys general of those states allege senior officials conspired to mislead officials. After an exhaustive investigation, they say the fraud went all the way up to Martin Winterkorn, who was head of the company briefly before resigning in disgrace.
Last January, Volkswagen unveiled its BUDD-e concept car at the CES Show in Las Vegas. Featuring an all new chassis designed from the ground up for vehicles with all electric powertrains. It offers clues to the company's pathway to the future.
Volkswagen's plans to transition to electric cars is all well and good, but that leaves unanswered the question of who is going to buy them? Just yesterday, federal officials announced that automakers would get a reprieve from the proposed 54.5 mpg CAFE goal for 2025. In an announcement accompanying the release of a new Technical Assessment Report, the EPA and others said that manufacturers should be able to meet upcoming fuel economy standards using improved internal combustion engines. They won't need hybrids, plug-in hybrids or electric cars to meet those goals, regulators say.
That can hardly be good news for a company that plans to dig itself out of a very deep hole by selling electric cars to the masses.

How to Draw – Drawing With a Purpose
Do you need to learn tips on how to draw, but have to have a purpose pertaining to drawing? While I draw, I am among those people who require a function. Drawing usually takes time. Although I still find it very satisfying, I still love to have some cause of spending some time. I need some form of motivation.
Probably most of the people who bring, if the will certainly make a minor money without delay, would haven't problem receiving motivated for you to draw often. However, the intention of this article is just not to show you the best way to make money from drawings. I are assuming you are definitely not that place yet. You are the one who is even now learning or searching for a way in that you can get motivated to get started on drawing yet again. You are the one who wants to grasp drawing before looking to sell your current first profitable drawing.
When you even check to monetize you should first develop your style, strategy and brand. It usually takes quite a little bit before men and women want that you draw something for the children. So, here are several ways in that you can stay determined. The 1st way my spouse and I get determined is by choosing a photo I like a good deal, and really need to draw. Finding a fantastic drawing image may take time, but it's going to be much more pleasant to bring. I get tried attracting some photos for those that can't be found great quality and still have never been very pleased with the consequence.
What is a superb drawing image? Well, I get lucky and love digital photography and would likely eventually love to draw every one of my individual photos. Although my spouse and I own an outstanding camera, we are not always capable to, or contain the time for you to shoot your photos I need. A very good drawing image is one which you like immediately for the reason that subject is focus plus the lighting is extremely good.
Professional camcorders are exciting to participate in with because you may use a various lenses that let you get any particular one area throughout focus and any devices will always be blurred. In an upcoming article let me explain precisely why you usually like most of these photos superior to others wherever everything is focus. You draw what we see without having to worry with regards to making your drawing look superior to the image. That is the reason why I get pleasure from drawing pertaining to photographers. I realize that we are setting me up pertaining to success in lieu of failure.

In my previous post, I mentioned why I believed start-ups might only work for tech, online, or social network companies, but that was before I took Steve Blank's online course on how to build a startup!
So as Steve Blank mentioned, "companies need a customer development process that complements its product development process." He went into details explaining the four processes of customer development, which are:
Customer discovery (look into customer problems),
Customer validation (look into a solution),
Customer creation, and
Company building.
So at the end of the day, the customer development process basically teaches you how to sell your product/service before building it.
An interesting example of how a company used the process of customer development within its products is Apple. Steve jobs knows what the customers want before the customers do! For instance when they introduced the iPad, everyone already had at least a computer/laptop or an iPhone/smartphone, so why come up with a device that no one actually needs? That's what Steve Jobs was famous for, creating products that customers want before they themselves even know that they do! Now nearly everyone owns an iPad!
The iPod touch example in specific, explains how Apple implemented the customer development process. Apple changed the "positioning" of the iPod Touch twice, which was derived from the steps of Sean Ellis's Startup Pyramid. Steve Blank has already developed a model for positioning products based on market types, which apple has gone through with its iPod, being initially positioned in a re-segmented market (as a multi-touch iPod), then positioned in an existing market (as a portable game to players), then in a new market (a way to the App store.)
Another interesting example I found was Ash Maurya's article on customer development. He mentioned that Steve Blank's process was built for Enterprise software and does not translate to other types of startups. Same as my thoughts when I first read about Lean Startups? Maybe. Anyway he decided to use David Binetti's put together "Customer Development Checklist" for his web startup and gave details how it was done. Here's the link for his article:

I'm really excited to annouce that I've started work on my very first course, Sass: From beginner to real world.
Sass has become an essential language to learn for front-end developers. It helps you write your code faster, pull off things that sometimes seem like magic, and it's also a part of many modern workflows.
This course is going to teach you how to use Sass, how to integrate it into your workflow and push you with challenges, helping you become a better front-end developer.
This course also dives into intermediate and advanced level CSS. Sass is, at the end of the day, a fancy way to write CSS after all. So how could we learn Sass really well if we don't also get into some higher level CSS stuff along the way?
We'll look at putting together a full, multi-page website, where I'll examine file structure and general workflow concepts, as well as get into class naming conventions for our CSS, and more, along the way.
This course isn't just about learning how to use Sass, it's about learning how to be a better front-end developer.
Sadly, the course is in development now, so it's closed to new students until I wrap things up. If you'd like to be notified about when it officially launches though, leave your email below and you'll be one of the first to know!

Troops in the Boer War used linear tactics largely unchanged since Wellington. Any revised infantry tactics were in their infancy prior to 1914. When the German armies advanced into Belgium in 1914, they presented a simple target to the BEF when they reached the Battle of Mons. They advanced en masse, expecting the weight of their numbers to carry the day.
The BEF were then involved in the retreat from Mons, the Battle of Le Cateau, the stopping and reversal of the German advance with allied attacks on the Aisne and the Marne. There followed the so-called 'race to the sea', the outflanking attempts which ultimately led to defensive, entrenched positions from the Belgium coast to the Alps. By the time the first battles of 1915 had been fought, over 96% of the original BEF were casualties. This had a knock-on effect with training the new Kitchener men who were swelling the New Army ranks in their thousands. The natural trainers amongst the NCOs and officers were already war casualties; the 'Kitchener Army' men had to be trained by older men from the reserves known as 'dug outs', usually Boer War veterans. By the time 1915 had been reached, new ideas in infantry training were lost on the battlefields of Northern France and Belgium. The new men were trained in Boer War tactics.
With the British Army of 250,000 undergoing an expansion to 1.6 million, the training was going to have to be 'in the field' and was going to take a long time.
Take the advance onto an enemy trench: the infantry would be about 150 yards behind the barrage. When the barrage on the trench lifted, the infantry had three or four minutes to rush the trench. Any machine guns still in the trench and not suppressed by the artillery could now take their toll.
Hence trench deadlock.
Training Manual SS 143 summarised the new infantry tactics: there were now to be specialist weapon operatives in every platoon. The Lewis gunner could now suppress machine gun fire during the advance and then the rifle grenadier and the bomber could ensure the enemy were kept further away as the infantry advanced. The use of the 18 pound field gun added to these tactics. It had a range of 6,500 yards and would be positioned 1,000 yards behind the infantry as they advanced. The advance would be a 3,000 yard bite and hold operation. With their range they could suppress German counter-attacks from 1,500 yards behind the target. But any further advance required the guns to come forward. This was not an easy task as first the horses had to be brought forward and harnessed (sometimes whilst under fire). Not only the guns but the ammunition had to advance. If the ground was too cut up, the engineers would be brought up to advise.
The first example of meticulous planning using new methods was the Canadian Corps' attack on Vimy Ridge in April 1917. The Canadian Corps (part of Horne's First Army) were supporting the Third Army attack during the Battle of Arras. Under Byng, the Canadian Corps showed what could be done: the planning of a creeping barrage together with surprise and good training (down to the junior commanders) led to a successful assault on the ridge. The Canadians were able to fight through to take their objective before re-organizing to defend against counter-attacks.
In the Second Army, Plumer & Harrington encouraged innovation, their hallmarks were training, trust and thoroughness. Their attack on Messines in June 1917 showed the beneficial effects of good preparation with troops who trusted their superior officers.
Examples of successful attacks could be found in nearly all 1917 battles: during the Third Battle of Ypres, Plumer's preparation for the assault on Menin Road, on Polygon Wood and Broodseinde were all examples of the new practice. The Canadian Corps under Currie had a successful attack on Lens (Hill 70) in August 1917; this latter battle was important as it was Currie's first since taking over the Corps from Byng.
However, these new tactics did not take into account the change in the weather. October brought rain and new problems. During the first attacks on Passchendaele ridge on 12 October 1917, Godley's attack with the New Zealand division advanced through the mud without adequate artillery (the guns could not be brought to bear because of the mud). As a result they failed to take their objectives and the Australians on their right had to retreat when enfiladed from the untaken lines.
Currie's preparation for the final battle for the Passchendaele ridge was much more thorough. He demanded a longer preparation time than Godley and, in the two weeks he was allowed, artillery were brought up in sufficient number and were correctly sited for the final battle. His plan was to advance in small steps; this meant that bite and hold tactics were back in force.
In 1918, the German attacks used stormtroopers against an elastic defence. By withdrawing and training their best men as stormtroopers, the German attack was prone to a weakness not seen in the BEF. In the BEF training had been universal and through this the BEF had a higher morale. At the Battle of Amiens in August 1918, the BEF brought the 'all arms' battle to the Western Front, something that would not have been foreseen in an amateur army. But then this amateur army had been trained to professional level in three years by experience in the field.

Anthro-CAMS IUG Program
Program Contacts
Kenneth Hirth, Anthropology (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Mark Munn, CAMS (email@example.com)
The Department of Anthropology offers integrated undergraduate-graduate (IUG) degree programs (B.A./B.A./M.A. or B.A./B.S./M.A.) designed to allow academically superior students to obtain either a B.A. degree in Anthropology or a B.S. degree in Anthropological Science, a B.A. degree in Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies (CAMS), and an M.A. degree in Anthropology in five years of study.
Students must fulfill all requirements for each degree in order to be awarded that degree, subject to the double-counting of credits as outlined below. Degree requirements for the B.A. in Anthropology, B.A. in Classics and Ancient Mediterranean Studies, and B.S. in Anthropological Science are listed in the Undergraduate Bulletin. Degree requirements for the M.A. degree are listed below. Up to 12 credits may be double-counted towards the degree requirements for both the graduate and undergraduate degrees; a minimum of 50% of the double-counted courses must be at the 500 or 800 level. Credits associated with the culminating experience for the graduate degree cannot be double-counted. The courses that are eligible to double count for both degrees are: ANTH 560, ANTH 571, ANTH 572, ANTH 573, and ANTH 588.
The MA degree consists of 30 additional credits of 400-600 level archaeology courses beyond the undergraduate programs.
- ANTH 560, 571, 588, and 2 credits in ANTH 541
- 4 required credits in ANTH 494 or CAMS 494
- 9 required credits in ANTH 573, 594, ANTH 596, ANTH 599, CAMS 592, CAMS 593, or CAMS 596
- A Master's thesis, including 6 credits of ANTH 600 Thesis Research or scholarly paper, including 6 credits of ANTH 596
Students must sequence their courses so all undergraduate degree requirements are fulfilled before taking courses to count towards the graduate degree. If students accepted into the IUG program are unable to complete the M.A. degree, they are still eligible to receive their undergraduate degree if all the undergraduate degree requirements have been satisfied.
The requirements for the completion of the IUG program include maintaining a GPA of at least 3.40, submitting semester reports to the Graduate School each semester, successfully completing all required coursework at both undergraduate and graduate levels, completing the thesis by the end of the fifth year (following all Thesis Office deadlines).
For additional information, please refer to the Graduate Handbook.

First there was monkiedude, then nerodi and pun. rhiannonhero and my sweet baby Bikini Bird came too. tubenerd and oiran also put in appearances. K loved me and took care of me, even stroked my hair when I was sick and exhausted. I loved seeing all my girls. I'm currently planning on being rich so I can go see them all the time. Well, I'm really planning on not being sick anymore, but after than I'm getting on the part where I become rich. Indie Rock Boy came out to dinner with the ladies (and tubenerd) and he seems to have lived through it. Though I haven't talked to him today, so it's possible he died in his sleep from the delayed shock of it all. I had the best breakfast ever today. Can you believe pun did not know what hashbrown casserole was? She made up for it by buying cowboy boots later. Why are there not narcotics that cure viruses, because that would be a pretty cool combination. I am barely coherent and a mental train wreck today, in the all over the place sense of the phrase and this post is really all about name dropping because I said I'd make it so everyone could hook up online later. Yis.
what a weekend

Event Information
Bob Kerwin and Dan Flynn: Strollin Hilldale7 - 8:15 pm
Sushi Muramoto
546 N. Midvale Blvd (Hilldale Shopping Ctr)
The Greater Madison Jazz Consortium has asked Dan and I to participate in their final "Strollin" event of the year, a series of jazz performances within Hilldale Mall. This free event is a bit like "Taste of Madison" except you are sampling music instead of food (of course, food is also available). I'll place a link to their site once the schedule is out.
The lounge at Muramoto's is smallish and the acoustics are lively. In consideration of everyone's comfort we plan a mellow set.

What to write about? I tap my foot and think.
Holidaying in La Biennale de Venezia and pre-EU Croatia, Helsinki beaches crammed with happy faces, ice cream and days of endless sunshine?
Trayvon Martin (the injustice), gang rape in India, Egypt's re-revolution, Boko Haram's massacres, Zambia's crackdown on media freedom or the US's ever constricting laws against the right to abortion.
Mandela and memories of the apartheid era? Kenneth Kaunda and Zambia's collective amnesia?
Royal babies, Swedish or other – the one thing I certainly will not be writing about.
