Wallpaper Source in Traci's South Pasadena Craftsman House Tour?
Good Questions
Q: I have been wanting to know where I might find the delightful wallpaper in Traci Fleming's South Pasadena House Tour. Such a creative and attractive sight to see at the back of the white bookcase at the end of the hall. I would like to use that same wallpaper, if possible, in the backs of my double white bookcases. Is there any hope of acquiring it, or at least finding out the pattern name, at this late date? Thanks so much.

Hello Ruth,
This is a wall paper from Cole & Son named Cow Parsley.
Mariane is correct - we have the same paper on a larger scale in our master bedroom. Picture here:
We actually got it through a designer who picked it up through Lee Jofa:
(On my blog post linked above, you have to scroll down to the 'after' pictures)
If the paper is too expensive, I'm sure you could get a very similar effect with stencilling. I got some good results searching for "botanical stencil" and "parsley stencil" on Etsy.

I had some script hydrocodone I brought with me from my hernia operation and nobody said anything. I made sure that I had them in the pill bottle with my name and script on it.
In Panama -- "everything is ok" -- IF you have paperwork. People do not question paperwork. Paperwork is God.
I travel a fair bit and while I am not taking any large amounts of anything, I nearly always fill a 2 week daily pillbox with stuff... prilosec, omega 3 gel, multivitamin, sleeping tablets for the flights, a few aspirin and occasionally or a vicodin in case of emergencies. I've been through airports in europe, asia, the middle east and all over the US... never had anyone once ask me what those pills were. I was thinking last trip... ya know, I could literally be carrying any kind of pills and no one would ask as long as there were less than about a dozen of them.
I'm too old to mess with anything recreational, but I did kind of wonder abuot never once being asked (I'd estimate at least 25-30 airports) what the pills were.
No you will not have any problems. They do not even have to be marked. I carry alot with me including Schedule drugs and they do not ask. If you are nervous, then just make sure that they belong to you with your name. I carry mine in a big clear bag but they are never given a second glance. The reason is that Americans are considered the most drugged people on earth! Haha! No seriously, my Dr in David says that we are the most prescribed of all the nations. They expect you to bring your bag of scripts with you and they see so many of us coming back and forth that they do not even bother to look at the names on the bottles. No worry. I did get a written note from my doctor many years ago but after it was never asked, I threw it away.
The important thing to remember is to put all and any into your carry-on and take it on the plane with you. The baggage handlers love to open a suitcase and find scripts in it. They will never make it to your destination if you pack them in a suitcase. You will have no problem, Photo.

If you have the CORRECT paper work. The Panamanians would not have any problems observing women and children dying by the dozens for bringing the wrong paper work.
Panamanians are by far the nastiest paper work fascists on earth. They constantly look for a missing stamp, a missing page, anything to make you suffer. It does not matter if you have 200 pages by now and have been certified by every government organization in the country. The most recent monkey in front of you will always try make the paper work process fail.
Most of the paper work they do is not even sensible, they just do it for the sake of the paper work. Make themselves seem official and important, while in reality they are just low life garbage that distrust everyone because they are dishonest corrupt $hits themselves.
Hi Ed, how are things your way? Yes, you are correct. Even a missing stamp is a process unto itself. When you have every little i dotted and t's crossed. they will find something that will incur their service and cost. I see the racket that they have as far as ALL paperwork completed. WE were charged alot of money per page of documents, and there are alot of them. and don't forget that "seal" of approval. That one will knock you back weeks...The bottom line is that is cost alot of money to complete the process of Pensionados. and then dont forget the time that it lays around on each ones desk, forgotten until another day. But hey, after the birthing comes the child. We are in process and it is still better in alot of ways than the States. Just pay it and do it. After all, it is their country. People that dont like it are so welcome to leave. Leaves more room for me!
Have you heard the news that talks about drug prescription? In the news they have mentioned that patents on some very prominent brand-name prescription drugs will run out soon, and the market will flood with less expensive generics. Some drugs are about to become a lot cheaper. Some of the best-selling prescription drugs on the industry are integrated, so Big Pharmas damage will be the publics gain. Brand name medications to get cheaper as patents expire With the variety of over-the-counter and prescription drugs available, many consumers would like to know because of the marked difference in cost between patented name-brand drugs and generic brands. Whether it is a patent for an invention, a process or a product, the government allows certain protections to the patent holders, and that includes drug companies.
I have never had a problem bring both herbal supplements and prescription medicines into Panama. I buy most of my prescription medicines in Colombia because they are much cheaper in Colombia. I buy generic medication like Metoprolol (blood pressure meds) in Colombia (100mg) for $2.05 for 30 pills and in Panama City the only choice I have found is Lopresor 100mg for $14.74 for 20 pills (they both have the same active ingredient). I have never been questioned leaving Colombia or entering Panama about carrying medications or supplements in six years. One time I entered with a suitcase full of herbal supplements and they asked if I was bringing them to sell and I said no they were for my heart condition (true) and they closed the suitcase and let me pass.
I have traveled to Panama several times over the past 10 years or so, and never had a problem bringing my personal meds into/out of the country! buzz.
I brought with me from my hernia operation and nobody said anything. I made sure that I had them in the pill bottle with my name and script on it
I could literally be carrying any kind of pills and no one would ask as long as there were less than about a dozen of them.
I'm too old to mess with anything recreational,
I have read that you are only allowed to bring a months worth of prescription medication through Customs without going through a lot of hassle, paperwork. However, I've also read that many people have managed to get through with much more than a months worth... and that many times, their bags haven't even been opened.
Thanks dear .
What kind of medications can be purchased without a prescription in Panama? Are things like heart medications, biologic (like Enbrel), tramadol? My Mom takes several different kinds and if she comes and stays with us it would be important to know so that I can be prepared if there are any problems. We are trying to come down and stay for several months in the Boquete area. Is there a good physician there we could see so we have my Mom taken care of? Thank you.
why do you want to take prescription drugsand damage your healthevery child knows that prescription drugs DON'T work
@ macssam: Because sometimes diseases are so bad that there is nothing you can do at the late stage and you have to do things to allow some sort of quality of life rather than sitting around and suffering from the disease that wastes your body away. Diet, exercise, supplements help, but many times do not stop the progression of a disease. Maybe by coming to PA there are alternatives not offered in other countries because physicians practice medicine and not protect their wallets instead? I am not trying to be insulting, but until you walk in another persons shoes you cannot make an assumption as broad sweeping as your comment might indicate. But, all said I appreciate your response.
@Caitlin - maybe this is not the place to ask a question like this. Email me if you have any questions.

Ubaldo Jimenez was one of the best stories of the baseball season last year. The former Rockies pitcher went 15-1 in 18 starts before the All-Star break and was nearly unbeatable. He had a sub-1.00 ERA in June and had thrown a no-hitter. He rode a fastball in the upper-90s with crazy movement and a wicked breaking ball to unprecedented Coors Field success for a pitcher. Ubaldo finished the year 19-8 with a 2.88 ERA. He had established himself as an ace in the National League and he was expected to anchor the Rockies' staff for the future. But it all changed this season.
Ubaldo entered the year reportedly dissatisfied with his contract situation. He had seen the franchise give Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez major contract extensions while he remained signed to a team-friendly deal. He got rocked on Opening Day and ended up on the disabled list with a finger injury. Turns out he was battling other nagging injuries since spring training, and it looks like a lack of proper preparation prior to the season is to blame.

Favorite Affordable Flowers for the Spring
I love having flowers in my home and wish I could always afford them along with my weekly groceries. I was so excited when I stopped by Whole Foods to pick up lunch and saw Wild Daffodils on sale for $2.00 for a bunch of 10 stems…
It is the small details, such as flowers and dim candles that set the mood for a home. When trimming my budget, I make an effort not to exclude fresh flowers. If the flowers last the full week, then I am in business. Next week I am going to switch it up with purple and white tulips.
Here are some spring flowers that usually can be found for an affordable sum at this time of year:
1. Daffodils from frolic!
2. Tulips from tinywhitedaisies
3. Tulips from Hostess
4. Ranunculus from Vintage Rose Garden
5. Lilacs from Bethany Nauert
Do you indulge in weekly fresh flowers?
18 Comments
I usually indulge in fresh flowers, and if money is tight, I go way more budget than this! Something like waxflower, bells of ireland or ferns (things otherwise considered filler or greenery) can look beautiful if displayed in a pretty vase, jar, pitcher, etc. Carnations also get a bad rep, they can really be pretty. It's all about presentation!
We do - especially now that flowers are so cheap in the spring.
Flowers for us are at special ocassions. Couldn't justify buying daffodils when we have so many in the garden, and I would much rather have them greeting me as I walk down the path than indoors!
Wow, I need to stop taking for granted the fact that a bunch of 10 daffodils in Germany costs 79 cents! (And I love those tulips in wine glasses, what a great idea!)
I buy fresh flowers every week. Trader Joe's has good prices, but I am no longer living near one - boo!
I have found that Fresh & Easy floral prices are comparable, particularly the daffodils, & since they have weekly coupons in their mailers (& online if you sign up) I essentially get my flowers for "free".
When I have a few more dollars to play with the 3/$12 bunches at Albertson's are great, too.
Flowers now cost a minimum of $6 around where I work :( ... but so worth it.
One helpful hint I learned from a neighbor of mine was to drop a few pennies into the tulip vase. It keeps them looking perky just a bit longer. I was skeptical at first but tried it. Lo and behold, my tulips didn't droop for a week. I guess they like the copper.
$1.29 a bunch at Trader Joe's yesterday! They look lovely on the breakfast nook table.
One of my fondest memories of living in Oregon's Willamette Valley was during spring, when a couple of times a week, my husband would stop at one of the bulb farms he passed as he drove home and buy a couple of dozen freshly cut daffs, or tulips or whatever for a couple of bucks. Now that we are in the frozen north of Wisconsin, I miss the long and lovely springs of Oregon.
Really? Shopping at Whole Foods every week and you don't have the cash for fresh flowers at the same time? So surprised, I'm so surprised...
(um, WF is wicked espensive...)
I think that While flowers are beautiful, I don't think that they are in their cut form. As an alternative I personally like plants with flowers and containers with succulents as I am in a Apartment that does not have a garden.
The worlds current ecological environment shows us that water is a precious resource that we need to use in an appropriate manner.
So having cut flowers purely as a decorative item seems such a waste and a shame as the Flowers are grown and harvested with the main purpose of being decorative.
It would be wonderful to have a living display of plants indoors or out.
Cee from alemonandaspoon.blogspot.com
I'll be stopping at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's on the way home today for SURE.
Thanks for the tip!
I'm so in love with the tulips in the coffee mug idea! Wow! I am for sure dreaming about my wedding a bit too much lately, but both ideas.. wine glasses or coffee mugs are fantastic!
I think what makes it work is having more than one.. I can see them on my dining room table or even a window sill or book shelf.
Love the tulips in the mugs and wine glasses! Very cute!
Has anybody else ever heard of it being incredibly unlucky to bring daffodils indoors? I saw them at Whole Foods and passed them by. My Nanna always said that they "point to death" (whatever that means) and I guess I'm prejudiced against them.
Funny how these superstitions persist...
I got this amazing tip: plastic flowers is not our favourite but treat them as you would real ones and mix a bouquet of real and plastic flowers to get an cheap punch of colour. I did it with great success. http://ploefff.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/k%C3%B8b-blomster-k%C3%B8b-blomster-en-rose-sa-pink/
especially since plastic flowers are becoming more and more realistic, i think they are great idea. i even used them in my wedding since i feel like weddings are particularly wasteful when it comes to all the flowers that get used. guests were able to bring home my centerpieces and when i visit, i still see them in their homes which is really nice :)
LOL, people actually buy Lilacs? I have honestly never seen them for sale in Alberta, Canada. I have always taken a nice stroll through the neighbourhood with a grocery bag and a pair of scissors. Instant and free bouquets galore. I guess I have been lucky in that all the neighborhoods I have lived in have been well stocked with the bushes in public areas, not that I haven't taken a trim off the outside of a neighbors bush once or twice. Nothing is more lovely in the spring than an out of control gigantic bunch of dark and light purple lilacs with a few of the more rare white ones peaking out.

Handmade soap recipes may be found on the web, however, if you want to assure an excellent first batch, think about buying a kit which contains all the things you will likely need. Not only is making soap deeply gratifying, but handmade soap is far healthier. Handmade soap has a great quantity of glycerin which in turn naturally moisturizes the skin. Commercially manufactured soap, on the other hand, has hardly any glycerin or possibly no glycerin whatsoever.

Faith's Checkbook - January 22
January 22
Christian Liberality
"Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble" (Psalm 41:1).
To think about the poor and let them lie on our hearts is a Christian man's duty; for Jesus put them with us and near us when He said, "The poor ye have always with you."
Many give their money to the poor in a hurry, without thought; and many more give nothing at all. This precious promise belongs to those who "consider" the poor, look into their case, devise plans for their benefit, and considerately carry them out. We can do more by care than by cash, and most with two together. To those who consider the poor, the LORD promises His own consideration in times of distress. He will bring us out of trouble if we help others when they are in trouble. We shall receive very singular providential help if the LORD sees that we try to provide for others. We shall have a time of trouble, however generous we may be; but if we are charitable, we may put in a claim for peculiar deliverance, and the LORD will not deny His own word and bond. Miserly curmudgeons may help themselves, but considerate and generous believers the LORD will help. As you have done unto others, so will the LORD do unto you. Empty your pockets.

Alternate title: Hand of the Headless Man, Où est la main de l'homme sans tête
Eva is 25 years old and an Olympic diver. Her father, Peter, functions as her trainer and mentor. During a sports competition, she gets injured on both hands. She nevertheless decides to continue. When she's about to leap, she has the impression that there's a man at the bottom of the pool. This vision makes her lose her balance and she bumps her head against the diving board: she falls into a black hole. She wakes up in the hospital. Her father is with her and talks immediately about going back to work. But nothing is the same anymore and she decides to force her memory to come back and to break down the wall of silence between her and her father. ~ Baseline StudioSystems

Fun with Voice Actors: Anarchy Reigns Edition
Anarchy Reigns is due out tomorrow, so in anticipation I decided to have some fun with the English voice cast from the game and match the characters with other roles from their respective actors. It's going to be informative but still pretty dumb at the same time. And this is not a complete list, but you should get the idea. Here we go! (Time for some action, can't get no satisfaction…)
Chainsaw enthusiast Jack Cayman and masked Equalist leader Amon are both voiced by Steve Blum. Basically, they plan to eliminate bending from the world and make way for Gator Tooth chainsaws. That's the real conspiracy.
The revolver-legged bounty hunter known as Durga and the Spartan sniper Jun are voiced by Sunil Malhotra. While they both agree that the world is one big target, they can't decide whether to do it at a distance or up close and personal. Also, Jun shoots aliens. Durga shoots everyone no questions asked.
The Blacker Baron and Pierce are both voiced by Arif Kinchen. They don't get ridiculed, they get rid of fools! (Totally sidekick characters)
The juiced up Edgar Oinkie and cyber ninja Zero are voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, who also does your boy Yosuke from Persona 4. Unfortunately, there are no S-Links in Anarchy Reigns, so you'll just have to beat them up.
All three of the Rin Sisters (Ai Rin, Rin Rin, and Fei Rin) and Rebecca Chambers are voiced by Stephanie Sheh who didn't want to be outdone by Yuri Lowenthal. They're into finding random men in dangerous locations and teaming up and/or killing them depending if the mood strikes them.
The Big Bull and Killbane are voiced by Rick Wasserman which, now looking back on it, is really easy to tell. It also makes tons of sense. They both really love slamming people into the ground and doing tons of damage with their bodies.
Lastly, and my most obscure pull, Maximilian Caxton and the Fisherman from the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode "The Storm" are voiced by Robert Pine. They can agree on being a real pain for everyone around them cause they're old and crazy, and they don't care. Deal with it world.
That about does it. There are more notable voice actors of course, but you'll have to use the internet to find out. Hope you enjoyed this little diversion.

MOSCOW • The Kremlin has cast Gerard Depardieu in one of the most surprising roles of his life — as a new Russian citizen.
The announcement Thursday that President Vladimir Putin has approved Depardieu's application for citizenship is almost a real-life analogue to the French actor's 1990 comedy "Green Card," in which his character enters into a sham marriage in order to work in the United States.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
But in this version, taxes appear to be at the heart of the matter. Depardieu has waged a battle against a proposed super tax on millionaires in his native country.
French President Francois Hollande plans to raise the tax on earned income above (euro) 1 million ($1.3 million) to 75 percent from the current 41 percent, while Russia has a flat 13-percent tax rate.
A representative for the former Oscar nominee declined to say whether he had accepted the Russian offer.
Thursday was a holiday in Russia and officials from the Federal Tax Service and Federal Migration Service could not be reached for comment on whether the decision would require Depardieu to have a residence in Russia.
But it's clearly an image buffer for Russia, calling attention to the country's attractive tax regime and boosting Putin's efforts to show that the economic chaos of the early post-Soviet period has passed.
"The distinctiveness of our tax system is poorly known about in the West. When they know about it, we can expect a massive migration of rich Europeans to Russia," Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin bragged on Twitter.
Others aren't so sure.
Political analyst Pavel Svyatenkov told the state news agency RIA Novosti that the move was "very good, very high-quality PR for Russia" but he was didn't think it would ignite a flood of new residents.
"I don't expect a massive movement of rich people to here, for the reason that Russia remains a pretty poor country by Western measurements and here there are bigger problems with crime and corruption," he said.
As Depardieu's criticism of the proposed tax roiled his country, French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault called him "pathetic."
Depardieu responded angrily in an open letter.
"I have never killed anyone, I don't think I've been unworthy, I've paid (euro) 145 million ($190 million) in taxes over 45 years," the 64-year-old actor wrote. "I will neither complain nor brag, but I refuse to be called 'pathetic'."
Depardieu said in the letter that he would surrender his passport and French social security card. In October, the mayor of a small Belgian border town announced that Depardieu had bought a house and set up legal residence there, a move that was slammed by Hollande's newly-elected Socialist government.
Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, the French government spokeswoman, didn't comment directly on Depardieu's tax fight. But she drew a clear distinction between people who have personal or professional reasons to live abroad and "French citizens who proclaim loudly and clearly that they they're exiling themselves for fiscal reasons."
She said Putin's offer "is an exclusive prerogative of the Russian chief of state."
Depardieu has had increasingly high-profile ties with Russia.
Last October he visited Grozny, the capital of the Russian province of Chechnya, to celebrate the birthday of Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov. And in 2011, he was in Russia's Arkhangelsk region to play the lead role in the film "Rasputin."
He is well known in the country, where he appears in an ad for Sovietsky Bank's credit card and is prominently featured on the bank's home page.
"You have to understand that Depardieu is a star in Russia," Vladimir Fedorovski, a Russian writer living in France, told the Europe 1 network on Thursday. "There are crowds around Depardieu. He's a symbol of France. He's a huge ambassador of French culture."Next Page >

|Steve examines persistent rumours that Hitler was intending to set up his command headquarters in the most unlikely of places - the south London suburb of Balham.
For years, the corridors of the large residential block Du Cane Court have echoed to whispered claims of dubious links.
At first glance, it all seems to stack up - not only was the building spared bombing by the Luftwaffe, but many say it was a hotbed of German spies who were busily laying the groundwork for Hitler's triumphant arrival.
But the picture soon becomes confused as Steve discovers that Balham is not alone in claiming a Nazi pedigree.
Steve speaks to Balham locals, including Radio 4 favourite Arthur Smith, and tracks down experts.
He explores the reality behind the Nazis' spy operation and their plans for invasion, gaining privileged access to the original documentation detailing the Third Reich's designs on Britain.
|Steve goes on the trail of TV detector vans, investigating rumours that the vehicles are little more than a myth.
Some people are utterly convinced that the vans are empty and that it is simply not possible to detect a television set.
Faced with a wall of official silence, Steve travels hundreds of miles to track down one of the vehicles for himself.
He searches out those who were once involved in the TV licensing business and wades through the post office archives to get the lowdown on the history of this very British phenomenon.
And he turns to the scientific boffins to establish once and for all whether the technology really does exist, mounting a controlled experiment to find out if it is possible to see into the living rooms of TV licence evaders.
But just when Steve thinks that the case is closed, a witness comes forward who throws the entire investigation into confusion.
|Steve turns the spotlight on mind control.
Thanks to works of fiction, the idea that government agencies have the ability to brianwash people to commit dastardly acts has firmly lodged itself in the public imagination.
Punt is assigned to sort fact from fiction, entering a murky work of government intelligence, military secrecy and wild speculation.
From hypnosis to narcotics and now microwave technology, Punt calls in expert witnesses to ascertain whether it really is possible to get people to act against their free will.
Can our wily PI track down the real Manchurian Candidate?
|Steve Punt turns super sleuth, once again taking possession of the keys to Radio 4's very own detective bureau, bringing mystery and intrigue back to Saturday mornings.
In the first programme, Punt looks into the phantom settlement of Argleton.
Search the web for this quintessentially English placename and internet maps show that it lies just outside the town of Ormskirk in Lancashire.
But when our super sleuth travels to locate it on the ground, all he finds is an empty field.
It turns out that Argleton doesn't actually exist.
Punt sets out to crack the mystery of how a non-existent place can appear in online maps.
From the Domesday Book to Google Headquarters, Punt's quest takes him through a thousand years of history and into the murky world of plagiarism.
He questions all the key players - and as he zeroes in on the truth discovers that in the cartographic realm nothing is quite as it seems.
Also in this series, Punt travels to the Polish-Czech border to investigate one man's theory that the Nazis had developed flying saucer technology.
And he scrutinises a wax cylinder which is reputed to carry the only recording of Queen Victoria's voice.
Producer: Laurence Grissell.
Steve Punt examines the curious case of Argleton, a place only existing on internet maps.
|Steve Punt turns super sleuth, investigating a range of curious cases.
Today, Punt probes the curious claim that the Nazis developed flying saucers.
This initially bizarre theory starts to carry a ring of truth as our gumshoe delves deeper into the evidence.
Punt assesses sightings of strange lights in wartime skies - so-called foo fighters - and pores through CIA dossiers and old newspaper cuttings in search of the facts.
Following the paper trail across Europe, Punt is led to Poland and to a mysterious site dubbed The Henge where his contact, Igor, promises to spill the beans on top secret Nazi research apparently conducted there.
Producer: Laurence Grissell.
Did the Nazis develop flying saucer technology?
|Steve Punt turns super sleuth and goes in search of a most unusual royal relic: Queen Victoria's voice.
He embarks on a journey to the dawn of recorded sound as he tracks down a wax cylinder which may contain the voice, the only suspected recording of Victoria in existence.
Via sound archives, strong rooms, forensic audiologists, royal voice coaches, the Queen's apartments and Palace letters he pieces together the story of the lost recording of Queen Victoria and tries to get to the bottom of any message she left for her subjects.
Steve Punt goes in search of a recording of Queen Victoria's voice.
|Steve Punt turns private eye, investigating the supposed curse of the Crying Boy paintings.
The pictures became a tabloid sensation in the 1980s when in a spate of house fires the portraits were often the only items to survive unscathed.
25 years after the story hit the headlines, Punt attempts to get to the bottom of why the paintings didn't perish.
Radio 4's dogged detective tracks down one of the mysterious portraits and speaks to former owners, an occultist and fire investigator as well as former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie who broke the story nationwide.
Finally, Punt sets fire to the the portrait he's acquired - can he make it catch light?
Producer: Laurence Grissell.

|Steve Punt returns for a fourth series as Radio 4's very own gumshoe, re-opening a case of murder by poisoned partridge in 1931.
Steve embarks on a historical whodunnit, examining the bizarre death in Deepcut, Surrey of an army lieutenant, Hubert Chevis, who died after eating a partridge laced with strychnine.
80 years on, the Chevis case remains unsolved and nobody was ever been charged with his murder.
To add to the mystery, Chevis' father received a sinister telegram which read "Hooray, hooray, hooray" and a follow-up postcard from the same unknown sender which stated "it is a mystery they will never solve".
Steve marshals the facts, reopens the coroner's file and locates a relative with important evidence to share.
Was it the wife, her ex-husband, the batman or the cook?
|This week our detective
has to find out whether the British inventor of a 'Death Ray' was really trying to sell it to the Nazis.
His leads take him via the valleys of South Wales, Croydon Airport, the River Severn and records offices piecing together the story of Harry Grindell Matthews.
Matthews, maverick scientist and showman, earned many friends and was celebrated as he came up with his remarkable inventions which included mobile phones, talking pictures, remote control craft and 'night writing'.
But upon the creation of his 'death ray', designed to shoot down enemy aircraft in the 1920's, he stirred controversy, fell foul of the establishment and became a recluse.
As an arms and technology race developed between the wars what was to happen to Matthews and his infamous death ray?
Producer: Neil McCarthy.
|Steve Punt turns gumshoe, investigating the mysterious disappearance of a silent film about Prime Minister David Lloyd George just after the First World War.
The Life Story of David Lloyd George was the first ever biopic of a living Prime Minister.
A lavishly filmed silent movie, it charted the rise of the wartime leader from the Welsh Valleys.
Just after the close of the Great War - as the film was destined for the big screen - lawyers paid £20,000 to cancel the movie's release.
To this day, nobody knows why.
Steve examines the evidence and asks whether it's a case of political shenanigans or personal peccadilloes.
Among those called in for questioning are biographer of Lloyd George, Lord Hattersley, and Ffion Hague, who's studied the war leader's affair with Frances Stevenson.
Producer: Laurence Grissell.
Steve Punt probes the mysterious disappearance of a film about Lloyd George after WWI.
|Steve Punt turns detective and searches for the true site of the Battle of Watling Street where tens of thousands of ancient Britons were massacred by the occupying Roman army but the exact location is unknown. Setting off in a hire car shaped chariot, Punt travels up Watling Street, now known as the A5, which runs all the way from London to Holyhead. Applying his guile and unwavering intuition, he visits three separate sites in the Midlands to examine the evidence. In what becomes an unexpected odyssey, he enlists the help of a pagan psychic, a spiritualist and a military agent to determine where Britain's most epic battle took place.
Producer: Neil McCarthy.
Steve Punt searches for the site of the epic Battle of Watling Street.
Steve Punt turns private investigator, examining little mysteries that amuse and beguile.
This week he turns the clock back two thousand years and goes in search of the most epic battle to have taken place on British soil.
The Battle of Watling Street, when the ancient Britons (led by Queen Boudicca) clashed with the Romans (led by Suetonius) resulted in a crushing defeat for the native peoples.
According to the chronicler of the day, Tacitus, 80,000 Britons were killed.
Watling Street is an old Roman road, now known as the A5.
But the exact site of the battle is still hotly contested.
Our intrepid detective gathers evidence on the main contenders and then, via psychics, soldiers, farmers and fields, he homes in on the real site of the Battle of Watling Street.
Steve searches for the site of the epic Battle of Watling Street.
|A Very Strange Stash
|Steve Punt turns private investigator, with a brand new series of weird cases.
1. A Very Strange Stash. Punt is called on to investigate a dead pensioner's secret stash of arms.
When 74 year old Kris Ruddjers died in 2010, he left behind a very bizarre legacy. The retired nurse anaesthetist had placed 13 trunks in storage supposedly containing household effects. But when the owners of the removals firm prised them open they discovered handguns, surveillance equipment and bomb making materials.
Ruddjers seemed to all intents and purposes just your average pensioner - but what was the reason behind his strange stash? For starters, Ruddjers was an alias... Punt embarks on a quest to find out more about an intriguing senior citizen.
Also in this series: the mysteries of the 1928 Charfield Rail Crash and the lost American colony of Roanoke.
Producer: Laurence Grissell.
Steve Punt is called on to investigate a dead pensioner's secret stash of arms.
|The Woman In Black
|Steve Punt turns private investigator, investigating bizarre rumours surrounding the 1928 Charfield rail crash.
2. The Woman in Black. For 25 years following the 1928 Charfield rail crash in Gloucestershire, a woman in black laid flowers at the memorial to the accident. Arriving in a chauffeur driven car, she never revealed her identity but locals have assumed she was in some way related to two young unknown victims of the accident.
The means of this rich woman's arrival has led to feverish speculation - most notably that the was a member of royalty and the children were illegitimate offspring. Add to that questions over the cause of the crash and you have a field day for conspiracy theorists.
Punt sets to work sorting fact from fiction, calling in the experts and cross-examining locals. He gets to grips to with the cause of the crash and gets tantalisingly close to the the possible identity of the woman in black and the two unknown victims.
Producer: Laurence Grissell.

|The Lost Colonists
|Punt is called on to examine a map which may hold clues to the mystery of the first English colonists to America who disappeared without trace.
In 1587, Sir Walter Raleigh assembled a group of 118 men women and children to establish a settlement in modern day North Carolina. One of them, John White, shortly came back to England for supplies and when he returned to the island of Roanoke where he'd left them, they had completely vanished. A mysterious sign on a tree offered a clue to their whereabouts but they were never found. John White was also the map draughtsman for the expedition and an intriguing patch has recently been discovered on the map close to Roanoke. Could they be under the patch? Or could this be a very Elizabethan cover-up? Punt sheds gabardine and dons ruff and codpiece to get to the bottom of this 400 year old missing persons case.
|The Case Of The Vanishing Machine Gun Maker
|Another perplexing case for our best loved, though slightly unusual PI, Steve Punt.
His methods may be unconventional but this time Steve is hot on the trail of two gun makers, William Cantelo and Hiram Maxim, and the story begins in Southampton.
Late in the 19th century strange noises could be heard from a cellar beneath a pub near the Southampton docks. It was rumoured that gun maker William Cantelo was inventing a rapid firing gun, capable of destroying the enemy and certain to make its inventor very rich.
Eventually William Cantelo emerged from his cellar with the news that his invention was complete and that he was going to take a much needed holiday, which he did, taking his new invention with him. But that was the last his family saw of him, "he simply vanished into the void."
Eventually his two sons began a search to find out what had happened to their father. When they saw a picture of the American inventor Hiram Maxim in a national paper with his new invention, a rapid firing machine gun, they were shocked; he was the spitting image of their own father William Cantello. The sons both tried in vain to talk to Maxim, on one occasion at Victoria station as Maxim was catching a train, but to no avail. They were convinced that this Maxim was their father and that gun was the same gun that Cantelo had invented but they were never able to prove it.
Maxim died a very rich man having made millions from the invention which slaughtered millions in the Great War. Cantelo's last movements were traced to America, how and where he died is a mystery.
Clearly this story throws up more questions than answers: What happened to William Cantelo? Was Cantelo impersonating Maxim, if so why? Did Maxim steal Cantelo's invention and pay Cantello to go away? Did one man murder the other, if so who murdered who?
Producer Neil George.
|The Hollinwell Incident
|Steve Punt turns private investigator to reopen a mysterious case of collapsing children.
One summer's day in 1980, at a junior jazz band festival in Nottinghamshire, hundreds of children were suddenly taken ill and fainted. They fell like dominoes; the showground was littered with bodies, the arena like a battlefield.
Many of the children feel they never got answers as to what really happened that morning.
Steve investigates, to find out if it was food poisoning or something a little more sinister.
Producer: Sarah Bowen.
|Pitchfork Murder - Lower Quinton
|In 1945 on St Valentine's Day the elderly farmworker Charles Walton was found murdered. A pitchfork pinned him to the ground and horrible wounds had been inflicted on person. But seemingly Walton had no enemies and there appeared to be no motive. Who could be the murderer and why?
Various suspects came into the frame: a boot maker, a Nazi, a "swarthy" Italian prisoner of War, and a local farmer.
None of the motives seem credible: a stolen watch, a small amount of money, or could it have been because of witchcraft?
But why had the farmer deliberately left his finger prints on the murder weapon when he discovered the body in front of witnesses? Why was the Italian POW covered in blood? Why had Walton been murdered with a pitchfork, could it have been a copycat witchcraft murder? Even the famous detective Fabian of Scotland Yard was baffled, so will Steve Punt PI do any better?
With the help of Betty Smith, Warwickshire's answer to Miss Marple, Steve unpicks one clue after another and believes he may have an answer.
|Who Killed The Bears?
|Steve Punt investigates the killing of two performing bears by a mob in the Forest of Dean in 1889, following unfounded rumours that the animals had killed a child.
For years, the people of Ruardean took the blame for the brutal slaying of the bears but always protested their innocence. Punt examines the evidence, asking if those convicted were victims of a miscarriage of justice.
Punt explores the documents, questions the locals and calls in the experts - aiming to establish the truth once and for all.
Producer: Laurence Grissell.
|The Mysterious Death Of Flying Millionaire Alfred Loewenstein
|Steve Punt returns as Radio 4's very own gumshoe, examining the mysterious case of millionaire financier Alfred Loewenstein who fell out of his own aeroplane in 1928.
The suspicious death of this fabulously wealthy Belgian tycoon - then reportedly the world's third richest man - may well be Punt's most baffling investigation yet.
During that fateful flight across the English Channel, Loewenstein got up to go the loo - but somehow ended up falling out of the plane. What exactly happened to him remains a mystery to this day.
Was it just an accident, did Loewenstein jump - or was it murder? Punt reopens the case.
Producer: Laurence Grissell.
|The Baker Street Bank Robbery
|Steve Punt turns gumshoe, investigating curious rumours surrounding the Baker Street bank robbery of 1971.
Quite possibly the most audacious heist in British history, the robbers tunnelled into the bank's vault from the basement of a shop two doors down. They escaped with a haul worth an estimated £30 million today.
Though four robbers were convicted, intriguing claims persist - most notably that the security services mounted the heist to secure compromising photographs of a senior public figure.
Punt sifts the evidence, calls in the experts and attempts to establish fact from fiction.
Producer: Laurence Grissell
|The Case Of The Mp Who Vanished
|Steve Punt turns private investigator and examines the curious case of the socialist MP Victor Grayson who vanished into thin air!
Firebrand politician, champion of the mill workers, scion of the establishment, fancy dresser, hard drinker, man about town. Victor Grayson was many things when he erupted onto the public stage in 1907 as the first and last independent socialist MP, aged 26. However this shooting star disappeared from sight in 1920, under mysterious circumstances, with no confirmed sightings after that.
Punt P.I. sets out on a trail through Yorkshire valleys, dusty archives and seedy Soho to pick up clues to Victor's disappearance.
Producer Neil McCarthy.
|Who Put Bella In The Wych Elm?
|Steve Punt turns detective to investigate a mystery from the Midlands.
In 1943, in a small wood in the village of Hagley, the body a woman was found inside a Wych elm tree. She had been put in feet first, alive or just recently dead. The police issued a good photo fit but, despite extensive enquiries, a match could not be found and no one reported her missing.
Punt hunts first for the files and then for the body. But things are not where they should be. He heads into those unsettling woods, rustles up tangled leads, and ends up barking up the occasional wrong tree.
He tracks down the 101-year-old forensic biologist on the case and investigates witchcraft and spying in his attempt to separate conspiracy from the truth.
And Professor Norman Fenton, expert witness in major criminal trails, subjects Punt's findings to analysis, building a unique model especially for the programme.
Producer: Sarah Bowen.

State lobbying reports show the Committee to Save New York spent more than $4 million lobbying last year.
That's double the amounts spent individually by Exxon, Major League Soccer and Albany's powerful teacher and public employee unions.
The Committee to Save New York has refused to identify its donors or say if they do business with the state.
It aired campaign-like TV ads since Cuomo was elected, helping boost his high poll ratings and political capital.
Lobbying groups influence government and the public on legislation and state spending. The reports were released Thursday by the Joint Commission on Public Ethics.

Dolph Ziggler
Height: 6-foot-0
Weight: 223 pounds
From: Hollywood, Florida
Signature Move: Zig Zag
First WWE Game: WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2010
Career Highlights: Intercontinental Champion; World Heavyweight Champion; United States Champion
Since making his debut on Raw, this aggressive young Superstar has made certain that every ring warrior on the roster knows his name. For weeks leading up to his first match he would approach Superstars and Divas alike in the locker room area with what has became a familiar refrain: "Hi, I'm Dolph Ziggler."
With his sculpted physique and ****ure attitude, Ziggler gives off the aura of an athlete who knows exactly what he's doing. The young Superstar makes use of his impressive amateur wrestling background (during which he won more matches than anyone in Kent State University's history) to ensure that for years to come, the WWE Universe will remember the name of Dolph Ziggler.
In August, 2010, with the help of SmackDown's Official Consultant Vickie Guerrero, Dolph Ziggler hit the Zig Zag on Kofi Kingston to capture his first Intercontinental Championship. WWE's resident cougar also played an instrumental role in Ziggler's controversial (and short-lived) World Heavyweight Championship reign in February 2011.
Ziggler seldom refrains from letting the WWE Universe know how good he is, and much to his opponents' chagrin, this arrogant competitor has the skill to back up his boasts.

Speaking to People magazine, Joey says, "Not much is going to change. He's a great dude, and he's very focused on what he does and everything else, and I'm sure this will bring out the best." Noting that Justin and Jessica have been together "a long time," Joey adds that marriage at this point is just "basically a piece of paper."
Asked what advice Joey, who's married with two kids, can offer Justin, he tells People, "Just enjoy life, because it goes by way too fast. Look, I have an 11-year-old and a 2-year-old, and that just shows how quickly it goes."
No word on whether Joey will receive an invitation to Justin's nuptials, but even if he does, he may not be able to attend: he's currently busy competing on ABC's Dancing with the Stars: All Stars .

Success stories
Aircraft technology: SA delivers3 October 2013 European aircraft manufacturer Airbus delivered the first of a batch of 50 A400M military transport planes - complete with critical components manufactured in South Africa, by South Africans - to the French Air Force on Monday. Engineers, artisans and technicians at South African company Denel Aerostructures took time off work to watch the handover celebrations - attended by Crown Prince Felipe of Spain and French Defence Minister Jean Yves le Drian - via live video linkup with Airbus Military's facility in Seville, Spain. The giant airlifter, the first of 50 ordered by France and one of a total of 174 on order, will be based at France's Orleans Bricy Air Base, where it will be initially used for training before being deployed on military and humanitarian missions. South Africa is one of seven countries working on the A400M programme. Denel Aerostructures, the only tier 1 supplier of manufactured parts to the A400M outside of Europe, is responsible for the design, engineering and fabrication of the aircraft's wing-to-fuselage fairing and fuselage top-shells. South African company Aerosud manufactures the A400M's cockpit lining, cabin lining and the wing-tip, while Cape Town-based Cobham South Africa supplies the aircraft's satellite communications antennae and underlying systems. According to Denel, the A400M's wing-to-fuselage fairing, which functions as a protective, aerodynamic shroud over sensitive equipment located in the centre wing part of the A400M, is the largest single aerostructure component yet produced in South Africa. At the Paris Airshow in France in June, Airbus Military placed a third multi-million rand contract with Denel, for the manufacturing of the "ribs, spars and swords" making up the inside structure of the A400M's distinctive tail section. Denel chairman Zoli Kunene said the R200-million (�15.1-million) work package, contracted to run over the entire life of the A400M programme, "demonstrates Airbus Military's confidence in Denel and South Africa's design and manufacturing capabilities, coupled with our ability to deliver on time and within budgets". Denel describes the A400M as "the most cost-efficient and versatile airlifter ever conceived and absolutely unique in its capabilities". With a cargo hold designed to carry the outsize equipment needed for both military and humanitarian disaster relief missions, a range of over 3 300 kilometres, and the ability to land on unprepared terrain, the airlifter has been "designed to meet the needs of the world's armed forces in the 21st century", the company says. It is also "ideally suited to the typical African peace-support missions which continue to be undertaken by South Africa in support of African Union and United Nations mandates on the continent".

Serving instructions
A world away from the frigid version you get at rubbish buffets. If you like, you can let the cooked chicken cool and remove from its juices, saving them to eat as a soup. But before you do that try this version that's meant for eating warm.
Per serving: 947kcals, 65.3g fat (12.2g saturated), 76.6g protein, 6.9g carbs, 3.5g sugar, 2.1g salt
Go for whites with a touch of sweetness, like off-dry Riesling or a fruity Chenin Blanc, either from South Africa or in the form of Vouvray from the Loire.

|About Me
I was a felony criminal defense lawyer in solo practice for 30 years specializing in forensics and the death penalty. I split my practice approximately 50-50 between federal and state courts. I switched to teaching law in 2005, and have taught Legal Research and Writing I and II, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Torts II, Wrongful Convictions, Prisoner's Rights, and Trial Advocacy.
In November, 2007, I blew the whistle on the Dean and Assistant Dean, owners of the Barkley School of Law, a privately owned for profit start-up school Paducah, KY where I was employed as an Associate Professor. They were running the school as a Ponzi scheme skimming student loan proceeds for living expenses that were wired into the school's general operating account by the lender, Student Loan Express. The school is now defunct and mired in bankruptcy litigation. I have been looking for other employment without success and am now a member of the 99ers, who have exhausted their unemployment benefits and been consigned to starvation and ruin by President Obama and the Congress.
I did not expect a ticker tape parade and the key to Paducah for being a whistleblower, but this is ridiculous.
|Issues I care about
1. Restoring the supremacy of the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Rule of Law.
2. Investigation and prosecution of everyone in the Bush-Cheney and Obama-Biden administrations responsible for initiating and conducting aggressive wars without justification in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other nations, kidnapping, rendition, and torture of innocent people and people suspected of terrorist activity in violation of international law.
3. Repeal of the Authorization to Use Military Force, the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the law retroactively immunizing the telecommunications companies for their unlawful surveillance of American citizens.
4. Repeal FISA.
5. End the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, bring the troops home, and close all military bases in foreign countries.
6. Replace Obamacare with universal single-payer health care.
7. Investigate and prosecute the banks and everyone responsible for Forfeiture Gate.
8. Break-up the insolvent big banks.
9. President Obama needs to resign immediately or announce that he will not seek reelection in 2012.
10. Abolish the Department of Homeland Security and government spying on its citizens.
11. In order to reduce the disparity of income and wealth in the United States, raise taxes on the rich, lower taxes on the middle class, and do not tax the poor .
12. Restore the Golden Rule to preeminence and establish a government that practices it by creating jobs instead of incentivizing corporation job outsourcing and financial ruin.
13. Corporations are not people and they do not have First Amendment rights.
14. Public financing of elections.
15. Elimination of electronic voting.
16. Amnesty, release from prison, and full restoration of civil rights for people serving time for non-violent drug offenses.
17. Eliminate the $106, 600 taxable income cap on social security, double the social security benefits, include the cost of food and gas in calculating the COLA, and decrease the eligibility age to 60.
18. Enact EFCA and rescind the free trade agreements.
|Political Views
Supremacy of the Golden Rule, anti-war and people oriented.

14/09/14 This beach is a disgrace, dogs running all over it, totally out of control. If you ask the owners to clean up after their dog or ask them to put their dog on a lead you are just left with a blank refusal. As long as their dogs are happy that is [...]

Abergele - Towyn Abergele Conwy
Could i make it clear Abergele and Towyn beaches are not just shingle beaches. The shingle is only on the upper reaches of these beaches and when the tide goes out there is a wide expanse of sand. It is not just shingle!!
S J MORRIS, 25 August 2014
A popular sandy beach though storms can leave it short of sand at high tide when it is covered with pebbles and shingle (2014). The beach has rocks at each side giving opportunities for "rock pooling". Surfing is possible when conditions are right. Small craft can be beach launched when [...]

Spent many holidays in Torquay in the 1980s and early 1990s and Redgate was undoubtably the best beach in Torbay; a perfect sun-trap in the most beautiful surroundings.

"Designers were very helpful! Willing to add family passage to the back of our place cards and very fast delivery. Highly recommend!"
"I changed the table number Font to match the other paper items that will be issued to guests at the wedding. It was extremely easy and it works perfectly! I wish I could have personalized it a bit more but I am very happy with my experience and the finished product. These place cards are absolutely beautiful."
"I ordered these to go with the same style invitation and response cards (silver version). Very nice quality paper and graphics."
"These place cards had a simple design that nicely matched the invitations of the same style. Good product. I'm very satisfied."

People watching outside Lisbon's iconic café
A Brasileira café is a tourist trap but it's worth paying that little bit extra for your coffee for the chance to sit in Chiado square and watch the world go by.
Street performers do their thing in front of the statue opposite the café while shoppers scurry or stroll along the street.
Tourists take it in turns to sit with the bronze statue of Fernando Pessoa, one of Portugal's most famous literary figures, and have their photo taken. Unlike he and his intellectual cronies, the tourists probably don't have an absinthe with their coffees.
The entrance to the Baixa / Chiado metro station is here, too, so it's a popular meeting spot. You could play a game with yourself and try to guess who the people sitting on the wall are waiting for.
The café has been open for over 100 years so don't forget to pop inside to admire the period décor before you leave.

My Dayton experience started at 3:45 am Thursday morning. That's when I had to get up so that I could make it to the Fairborn Holiday Inn in time for the first session of this year's Four Days in May (FDIM). FDIM is a one-day conference put on by the QRP Amateur Radio Club International and is a great way to start the "Dayton experience."
There were somewhere between 300 and 400 attendees at this year's event, and we were treated to six very fine presentations. They included talks on using microcontrollers for various projects, software-defined radio, VHF and UHF for QRPers, homebrewing with "hollow state" devices (more commonly known as tubes), using open-source electronic design tools, and operating pedestrian mobile. The two talks that I enjoyed the most were "Hollow State (Thermatron) Homebrewing" by Grayson, TA2ZGE/KJ7UM and "Leveraging Free and Open Source Tools in Homebrewing" by Jason, NT7S.
Two things about TA2ZGE's talk stood out for me. First, was his method for homebrewing tube circuits. What he does is to take a Dremel tool and create pads on a bare piece of circuit board material, including pads that you can solder a tube socket to. Using this breadboard, you can create prototypes "Manhattan" style. Second, was the list of online resources. I'll post those in another blog post. Grayson's talk has certainly given me the incentive to use those "tubs of tubes" as I've been threatening to do now for several years.
Jason's talk was about how he used open-source design tools to create his latest kit, the OpenBeacon, a crystal-controlled QRPp beacon transmitter. There are more out there than I realized. I'm thinking of asking Jason if he would be interested in expanding his paper into a small book that I could publish for him.
Thursday evening, they had their normal show and tell and vendor night. At this event, those selling kits and keys set up shop in the ballroom. Jason was selling his kits and the Four States QRP club had some of their kits there, too. I don't know how much, if anything, they charge the vendors, but perhaps next year, I'll take some of my books. They're not exactly the right audience for them, but perhaps they'll buy them for friends and family.
Friday morning, I got up early again, so that I could make the 7:30am bus to the Hamvention. We arrived about 8:00 am, just as the gates were opening. The first thing that I did was to head to the FAR Circuits tent, which is–as the name implies–at the far end of the flea market. There, I made my first purchases, a board to make a regenerative receiver and one to make an audio breakout box.
The rest of the day was a combination of wandering the aisles of the flea market, fighting the crowds inside the arena, attending the odd seminar, and meeting people that I know. One of the guys I ran into was Dennis, KT8K. He asked me what I thought was this year's flea market "theme." Every year, he says, there is always an abundance of one type of equipment or model of radio.
He's right, too. One year, for example, I saw a dozen or more Icom IC-735s. This year, I saw none. Oddly enough, this year I saw a lot of Swan transceivers and DX-60 transmitters. There were also lots of more modern transceivers for sale, too. I even saw a K3 for sale, although by the time I got to it, it had been sold.
Another fellow that I ran into was Ed, N4EDT. I probably wouldn't have stopped to speak to him, but he was wearing a shirt with the Rotarians on Amateur Radio (ROAR) logo on it. I introduced myself to him, and we had an interesting discussion about what kind of service project that ROAR might want to start. Since he is the Assistant Director for Education for the ARRL's Southeastern Division, he was advocating a local project. I, on the other hand, still favor an international project that would promote amateur radio in a developing country. We also talked about possibly having a ROAR booth at Dayton next year.
By the time, 4:30 pm rolled around, I was pretty hot and tired. Temperatures topped 80 degrees, and on the blacktop surface of the flea market, temperatures were undoubtedly higher. I was happy to get on the bus and head back to the hotel.
Saturday, was pretty much the same story, except it was even hotter. The temperature almost hit 90 degrees. I didn't bring any sunscreen, either, so I got a little rosy.
I ran into some people that I knew that had just come down for the day, or perhaps that I'd missed the day before. One guy I ran into at the Ohio Repeater Council booth, pulled out his new Elecraft KX-3 and gave me a quick demo. It's actually quite a cool, little radio. I'm still saving up for a K-3, though.
One forum that I attended on Saturday was the Drake forum. The room was packed with people still keeping alive their old Drake equipment. The reason that I attended was I have a friend who recently was given some Drake C-Line equipment. He wants to find a good home for them. After attending this forum, I'm now thinking about buying it from him and using them in my station. I know that if I ever have any trouble, I'll have plenty of guys out there who can help me.
After the Drake forum, I went to the food court for a slice of pizza and a glass of beer. Seating is catch as catch can, so I shared a table with several other hams. This is great because you get to meet all kinds of different people.
This year, an older gentleman sat down next to me with his beer. We got to chatting, and as it turned out, this was his 55th straight year attending the Dayton Hamvention! He started going before it was even held at Hara Arena, and even after they moved to Hara, they didn't use the entire facility as they do now. I'm really glad that I got to speak with him.
So, what did you buy?
I didn't really go down to Dayton with much of a shopping list. My short list included more PowerPole connectors, the circuits boards I mentioned earlier, and I was going to buy a mic boom for WA2HOM. I got the connectors and circuit boards, but decided against the boom.
I did pick up a bunch of other little stuff including some strain reliefs, more clamp-on ferrite cores, a paddle pad from Vibroplex ($1) to keep the paddle down at the museum from sliding around, and some tube sockets! One of the vendors there had a box of tube sockets that they were selling for a quarter apiece or five for a dollar. I picked out five and paid the lady, and as I was walking away, I decided that they were such a good deal that I went back and bought five more.
My biggest purchase was NT7S's OpenBeacon QRSS transmitter. It cost me $40. It looks like a very nice kit, and I'm hoping to be on 30m QRSS shortly with it. The nice thing about this transmitter is that it has a microcontroller that lets it transmit DFCW and Hellschreiber, in addition to CW. It should be fun to both build and operate.
I almost bought a K3. I stopped by the Elecraft booth and picked up an order sheet, but decided against it. If they had been offering more than a $50 show discount (<2%), I might have gone for it, but that just wasn't enough incentive.
Too rich for my blood
In other news, both Kenwood and FlexRadio both introduced new radios at Dayton. Perhaps the most buzz was around the Kenwood TS-990. Of course, they didn't really have a working model. There's not even any information on the Kenwood USA website.
What they did have was a mockup under a Plexiglass cover. In addition to being incredibly expensive, the radio is huge! I heard someone joke that to produce this radio, Kenwood is going to have to corner the market on buttons and knobs. If you've seen the photo in QST (which was allegedly produced with Photoshop), you'll know what I mean.
The other radio with a bit of buzz is the new FlexRadio FLEX-6000. For the past couple of weeks, the FlexRadio website was proclaiming that this radio was going to be a game changer. Perhaps it is, but at $6,000+, this radio is out of my league, and too expensive for the majority of radio amateurs. That being the case, I really don't know what all the buzz is about.
I'm sure that the TS-990 and the FLEX-6000 are both great radios, but I think that the law of diminishing returns applies here. At some point, are you really getting $6,000 or $12,000 of fun out of the radio? I don't think that I would.
Well, that's it. Another Dayton Hamvention is in the bag. It was a lot of fun, and I'm already looking forward to next year. In addition to possibly participating with other Rotary Club members in a ROAR booth, I'm thinking about pushing for an adult education forum. I think that's something that's both needed and would be popular. I'll just have to make sure to leave enough time to hit the flea market and grab some more tube sockets or coax or whatever.

SN: What are the "in" invitation accents and what's out? For instance, are ribbon bows still in style or are they an embarrassment? Are buckles and belts still happening or is the "fashion accent" trend out?
CJ: Ribbon and buckle invites are definitely out. They are so '80's and overdone (in my humble opinion). What's "in" is incorporating incredible techniques like laser cut or foil stamping for that extra luxe design element. It's all about personalization. I'm even doing a lot of custom paintings for my clients. Telling their story through hand-painted artwork that creates an impact! (Plus, it's a great keepsake!)
SN: How do you advise bridesmaids on personalizing their invitations to the bride, not just to the party's theme? Is it the bride's monogram? Photo? A really great, artistic rendering of her name at the top of the invitation?
CJ: The best way to personalize the invitations is to think about the bride's personality and what would really excite her. Sometimes we get carried away in what we would like. If you love to cook and can't wait to teach your friend, but she isn't into a cooking shower, that's probably not the best theme to use. Opt for something that is more her style and add a personalized logo up top. Carry that detail onto the cocktail napkins. Purchase a little bit extra and give them to her to use at home at the end of your event. It's a nice little parting gift.
SN: How do you prefer to design insert cards, such as registry cards and bridal shower recipe or game cards?
CJ: Create continuity in your communications. Consider your guest's experience when receiving a beautifully designed, cohesive package. Think about your whole event's lineup and send out an exquisitely designed set that informs the guests of all the party details. You don't want to confuse their experience by sending too many mailings. It annoys your guests and ends up being more work for you. For the bride's registry card or recipe cards, I like to design them [in the same colors and style as the invitation], so the look is buttoned-up and fun.
[Note: Your invitation designer can create the insert cards using the same card stock, color and font. Or you can DIY this part of the invitation if you can find the same paper stock and use a coordinating color for a professionally-made look. Don't photocopy or use flimsy printer paper, which could wreck your invitation's "wow factor."]
SN: Anything else you'd like bridesmaids to know about print invitation designs?
CJ: Start early in your planning and make sure you order with plenty of time in advance. Remember, custom printing requires longer lead times than buying off the shelf. Typically, you should allocate about 6-8 weeks for design, printing and calligraphy. Work backwards from the date you want to mail them out. I always recommend starting sooner than later. Rush fees are never fun.
SN: What's the most creative presentation you've ever done?
CJ: I consider all of my clients my stars, and I always aim to deliver spectacular results in my work. I have designed countless invitations, but some of my stand-out favorites would have to be:
SN: Gorgeous! Ceci, what's coming up for you?
CJ: I just recently launched my online magazine, CeciStyle. CeciStyle is loaded with gorgeous tips and takes on invitations, fashion, parties, weddings, décor, gifts and more.

This is my number one favorite roller coaster. The ride is absolutly amazing and the music, fog, and fire just add to the expeirence as a whole.
Lawrence Smith
on January 20, 2010 at 9:44 PM
I loved this roller coaster. I heard so much about it, when I was in Las Vegas last year, I made the drive to SFMM just to check it out! It was a great first-time riding experience & I can't wait to make it back out to the West Coast to enjoy this coaster again!
Scottland Jacobson
on January 21, 2010 at 12:37 AM
No other coaster frightens me as much as this one. It is so intense, I cannot enjoy the ride because it never gives me enough time to get my bearings before twisting me into a pretzel again and again. It's an amazing creation - but I much prefer the thrills, speed and drops of Goliath and Tatsu at SFMM.
Joshua Counsil
on January 21, 2010 at 10:11 AM
This is on my list to see. I always admired the designers for taking such a gutsy risk. Intuitively, the coaster looks like it should knock you unconscious at parts. The physics and ergonomics consideration alone is impressive.
