Is there anything better than sliding into a bed laden with good quality sheets? At the end of the day, I can't wait to stretch out under my fresh, soft covers and nestle my face into a good cotton-covered pillow. We spend a third of our lives in bed so quality sheets are key, but how do you get quality for your money? There's no doubt that most consumers believe the higher the thread count, the better the quality, but this isn't entirely true. With the help and expertise of Joanna Goodman, owner of Au Lit Fine Linens, we expose the truth about thread count and what it takes to find quality bed sheets.
Simply put, thread count is the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. This number is based on the threads woven horizontally ("weft") and vertically ("warp"). Extra threads can also be woven into the weft threads to increase the thread count. These added threads are called "picks" and are added in the overall count, which is how some sheets end up having thread counts in the thousands. This is why the idea that high counts equal better quality isn't really accurate. Consider this: Joanna says most weavers will say the maximum number of threads that can be woven into one square inch of fabric is 500 to 600. Though the number is arguable and, according to Joanna, "depends on the mill you deal with," it gives you an idea of where the line is between single-ply, unpicked weaves and ones that add threads here and there to bump up the count.
Joanna lists three things to look for on the label: if it's Egyptian cotton, where it's woven and, lastly, the thread count. While thread count is a bit misunderstood, the buzz around Egyptian cotton is true. "The very best cotton in the world is grown in Egypt. So Egyptian cotton will be of a better quality," Joanna says. She also recommends pima cotton, which is grown in America, "though not quite as exceptional as Egyptian." When it comes to weaving, however, she swears by the Italians as being the "master weavers of the world" due to their "long tradition of weaving" and use of the best Egyptian cotton. Be sure the label says 100% or pure Egyptian cotton though, otherwise it may only contain a small percentage of the good stuff. As for the thread count, look for a minimum of 200. From there, it's all about preference!
Joanna's one key piece of advice is to watch out for extremely low priced, high thread count sheet sets. A complete sheet set with a high thread count for $100 or less is probably not the dream bargain you think it is. As Joanna believes, "you always get what you pay for." The price tag for bed linens will vary depending on the sheet size and what items you're buying, such as a duvet cover, sheet sets, or pillowcases. "A superior quality 200 thread count queen set (including flat, fitted, two pillowcases), made of Egyptian cotton and woven in Europe, could retail reasonably for about $150-$250," says Joanna.
After going through the quality checklist, go with what feels best for you. If you're looking for a durable linen, Joanna recommends any percale from thread count 200 to 800. Percale is any cotton woven with a 200 thread count or higher and will be more durable than a cotton satin of the same thread count. It's also less likely to pill than cotton satin because it has a denser weave. Love the feel of a cotton button down shirt? Joanna advises a crisp, dense 200 thread count percale. Prefer a silkier sheet? Go for a 300 to 600 cotton satin. If you want lighter sheets, Joanna says, a 400 thread count sheet can be soft and light, while an 800 percale would be soft and dense. The higher the thread count, the more likely multiple-ply thread is used or picks are added, making the fabric denser and heavier.
Now you know that quality is not just about the number, so don't let numbers rule your bed! Remember what to look for on the label and be wary of too-low prices for supposedly high quality items. Beyond that, go with what you prefer. Get a good feel of the sheets before buying. Whether you're unzipping the packaging or lying down on a display bed, make sure the fabric feels good against your skin and soon you'll be having sweet dreams!

Nest maker, know thyself. Here's how one designer used self-reflection and simplicity to do up her Toronto Victorian.
"There are thousands of inspiring ideas out there," says designer Melanie Hay, referring to the wellspring of online home decor images, blogs and shops. "You can literally research for months. But in the end, the best design is born of self-discovery. The more you understand who you are and how you live, the better the odds that the rooms you create will be rooms that you love."
Melanie should know. When she and her husband, Andrew, an entrepreneur, purchased a tall, narrow Victorian in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood about four years ago, they were two people without a plan – but with about 3,000 square feet of empty space. Needless to say, to a designer like Melanie, this blank canvas meant instant inspiration overload. "My mind was swimming with decorating schemes," she recalls. "Deep down, though, I knew Andrew and I are nesters, and when we walked in the door, we would want to come home to a space that echoes our life stories." This is where her approach to decorating the house started.
But it was not as easy as it sounds. "From the beginning, I had to acknowledge that Andrew and I don't share the same taste," she says. Melanie loves white; Andrew prefers dark wood. Something had to give. The house already had the towering black doors and high-gloss black banister they both liked, so the couple let these details inspire the look. "Plus, we already owned a black and white rug, a round table with a dark top and a black leather Eames chair, so why not use them?" adds Melanie. Red- and peach-painted walls were redone in shades of light and shadow. Such was the start of what is now the home's signature black and white colour scheme.
And a little self-reflection went a long way when it came to deciding what to hang on the walls. "Although we appreciate fine art, personal mementoes that connect us to our families matter more," says Melanie. This realization became the inspiration for the dining room gallery wall. Gathering a few favourite prints, posters and paintings, the designer created a dynamic visual mash-up. The result is a sophisticated yet personal design element. One added bonus? It was totally budget-friendly. "I paired gold-framed heirloom pieces with newer prints in inexpensive white frames to unite the random collection," explains Melanie. And since not many are forever pieces, she adds or subtracts on a whim. "There are a lot of nail holes in that wall!" she says with a laugh.
In many ways, this ever-evolving approach is a reflection of Melanie's creativity. "Unlike the homes I design for clients, which are done in one sweep, my house changes constantly. I've become incredibly good at moving furniture, which must drive Andrew crazy. This house will never be truly finished," she says. "And if it ever is, I'll probably just start over!"
Homeowner and designer Melanie Hay paired her husband's steel-topped dining table with chairs she bought on Craigslist. "I've reupholstered the seats two times already," she says. Right now, they bear a sophisticated charcoal linen that accentuates the dark walls and striped rug.
"It's been a bedside table, an end table and a catch- all," says Melanie of the bar cart she purchased years ago. "Finally, it's a bar!" The cart is low, however, and the home's ceilings are very high. To draw the eye upward, she added a painting and a wall-mounted metal stag bust above it.
Melanie scoured big-box stores for large-scale artwork to act as stand-ins for the forever pieces that will eventually accent her living room. That way, she doesn't have to live with blank walls while she searches for the perfect investments.
The house was built in the early 1900s, but its contemporary fireplace mantel and furnishings achieve an eclectic mix that feels right at home in the space. "If you can't afford to do a house all at once," advises Melanie, "then do one room at a time. That way you can afford to invest in key pieces."
"Decorating one room completely and then carrying that look to the next allows you to really establish a cohesive aesthetic throughout the house," says Melanie, who started with the living room and finished with the master bedroom, which echoes the rest of the home's light-meets-dark and modern-meets-traditional themes.
A kitchen boasting restaurant-design pedigree
Trendy meets traditional in this family home built from scratch.
Homeowner Tanya Krpan (pictured here) saved on accessories by loading the family room sectional with an assortment of ready-made toss cushions.
Tanya isn't afraid to play with negative space, as seen in the home's grand entryway. "Normally, you'd expect a mirror or big piece of art hanging above the wainscotting," she says. Leaving the wall blank and layering small pieces on the console allows the millwork to shine.
Black casement windows and decorative accents create contrast in the neutral space. Tanya scored the vintage coffee table when her office was being redecorated.
The family room's classic-cool mix feels right for a young family.
The kitchen, of course, is the true star of the show. Tanya's restaurant-design pedigree shines through in the room's floor-to-ceiling tiles, mix of open and closed storage and high-end appliances. She opted for white Shaker-style cabinetry and warmed up the space with a walnut island and brass hardware statement lighting and fixtures.
Another bistro-inspired touch was her choice of dark honed-limestone tiles for most of the main floor. "The tile grounds the space since there's an abundance of white everywhere," Tanya explains. "And it's proven great for hiding dirt."
Everything in the Krpans' home is designed for everyday life and entertaining, from the large sectional in the family room to the round tables in the dining room and the kitchen's eat-in area. "It's more social to sit at a round table," says Tanya. "You see everyone's faces."
Cabinets with glass doors allow Tanya to display her favourite serving pieces and special glassware. She had the back of the kitchen cabinets tiled to highlight this focal point of the kitchen.
Tanya and Jure – with their sons, Ivan, 3, and Cruz, 2 – have recently welcomed a baby girl named Belle.
The living room's crisp white, grey and black scheme gets an energy boost from fresh greenery, pops of pink and plenty of pattern – check out the Moroccan-style rug, the ikat-print and chevron-patterned toss cushions and the graphic stool fabric.
To offset the costs of the more expensive permanent elements, Tanya was meticulous with her decorating budget. She incorporated secondhand pieces, such as the family room coffee table, and sourced inexpensive art for the living room mantel. Affordable colourful accessories add youthful edginess to the living spaces. "I love the femininity that the splashes of pink add to the living room and family room," she says. "Plus, by the time I got to the decorating, I was living with three boys!"
In the dining room, Tanya likes the juxtaposition of the modern Sputnik-inspired chandelier with the traditional coffered ceiling. The artwork was a DIY project Tanya and Jure painted together on her 30th birthday.
Though this house has been well loved for years, there's a sequel in the works: Tanya and Jure are in the process of building a new home. "We'll keep some of the same elements but go a little more modern in the kitchen," says Tanya. We'll definitely stay tuned.
Enrich your space with this season's hottest colour trend for a beautiful, cozy fall home.
Embrace the best of fall decorating with this season's hottest colour trend: caramel! It's time to steer away from the typical rich reds and burnt oranges of autumn and indulge in this new neutral. While it still offers that deep, rich colour to warm up your space, it's easier to incorporate into your current decor thanks to its neutral hue. So once summer fades, try layering your home with our favourite caramel picks of the season.

To provide a lower bound for the uncertainty inmeasurement-based clear-and all-sky direct aerosol radiative forcing (DARF), a radiative perturbation analysis is performed for the ideal case in which the perturbations in global mean aerosol properties are given by published values of systematic uncertainty in Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) aerosol measurements. DARF calculations for base-state climatological cloud and aerosol properties over ocean and land are performed, and then repeated after perturbing individual aerosol optical properties (aerosol optical depth, single-scattering albedo, asymmetry parameter, scale height, and anthropogenic fraction) from their base values, keeping all other parameters fixed. The total DARF uncertainty from all aerosol parameters combined is 0.5-1.0 W m -2, a factor of 2-4 greater than the value cited in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC's) Fourth Assessment Report. Most of the total DARF uncertainty in this analysis is associatedwith single-scattering albedo uncertainty. Owing to the greater sensitivity to single-scattering albedo in cloudy columns, DARF uncertainty in all-sky conditions is greater than in clear-sky conditions, even though the global mean clear-sky DARF is more than twice as large as the all-sky DARF. © 2010 American Meteorological Society.

Prior investigations attempted to determine the relative influence of advection and convective processes on ozone and water vapor distributions in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) through analyses of tracers, related physical parameters (e.g., outgoing long-wave radiation, precipitable water, and temperature), or with models. In this study, stable laminae in Southern Hemisphere Additional Ozonesonde Network (SHADOZ) ozone profiles from 1998 to 2007 are interpreted in terms of gravity waves (GW) or Rossby waves (RW) that are identified with vertical and quasi-horizontal displacements, respectively. Using the method of Pierce and Grant (1998) as applied by Thompson et al. (2007a, 2007b, 2010, 2011), amplitudes and frequencies in ozone laminae are compared among representative SHADOZ sites over Africa and the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic oceans. GW signals maximize in the TTL and lower stratosphere. Depending on site and season, GW are identified in up to 90% of the soundings. GW are most prevalent over the Pacific and eastern Indian oceans, a distribution consistent with vertically propagating equatorial Kelvin waves. Ozone laminae from RW occur more often below the tropical tropopause and with lower frequency (<20%). Gravity wave and Rossby wave indices (GWI, RWI) are formulated to facilitate analysis of interannual variability of wave signatures among sites. GWI is positively correlated with a standard ENSO (El Nio-Southern Oscillation) index over American Samoa (14S, 171W) and negatively correlated at Watukosek, Java (7.5S, 114E), Kuala Lumpur (3N, 102E), and Ascension Island (8S, 15W). Generally, the responses of GW and RW to ENSO are consistent with prior studies. Copyright 2011 by the American Geophysical Union. Source
Correcting rainfall using satellite-based surface soil moisture retrievals: The Soil Moisture Analysis Rainfall Tool (SMART)

Recently, Crow et al. (2009) developed an algorithm for enhancing satellite-based land rainfall products via the assimilation of remotely sensed surface soil moisture retrievals into a water balance model. As a follow-up, this paper describes the benefits of modifying their approach to incorporate more complex data assimilation and land surface modeling methodologies. Specific modifications improving rainfall estimates are assembled into the Soil Moisture Analysis Rainfall Tool (SMART), and the resulting algorithm is applied outside the contiguous United States for the first time, with an emphasis on West African sites instrumented as part of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis experiment. Results demonstrate that the SMART algorithm is superior to the Crow et al. baseline approach and is capable of broadly improving coarse-scale rainfall accumulations measurements with low risk of degradation. Comparisons with existing multisensor, satellite-based precipitation data products suggest that the introduction of soil moisture information from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer via SMART provides as much coarse-scale (3 day, 1) rainfall accumulation information as thermal infrared satellite observations and more information than monthly rain gauge observations in poorly instrumented regions.

Heat waves are thought to result from subseasonal atmospheric variability. Atmospheric phenomena driven by tropical convection, such as the Asian monsoon, have been considered potential sources of predictability on subseasonal timescales. Mid-latitude atmospheric dynamics have been considered too chaotic to allow significant prediction skill of lead times beyond the typical 10-day range of weather forecasts. Here we use a 12,000-year integration of an atmospheric general circulation model to identify a pattern of subseasonal atmospheric variability that can help improve forecast skill for heat waves in the United States. We find that heat waves tend to be preceded by 15-20 days by a pattern of anomalous atmospheric planetary waves with a wavenumber of 5. This circulation pattern can arise as a result of internal atmospheric dynamics and is not necessarily linked to tropical heating. We conclude that some mid-latitude circulation anomalies that increase the probability of heat waves are predictable beyond the typical weather forecast range. © 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited.

New measurements of the cosmic infrared background fluctuations in deep Spitzer/IRAC survey data and their cosmological implications

We extend previous measurements of cosmic infrared background (CIB) fluctuations to ≲ 1° using new data from the Spitzer Extended Deep Survey. Two fields with depths of ≃ 12 hrpixel-1 over three epochs are analyzed at 3.6 and 4.5 μm. Maps of the fields were assembled using a self-calibration method uniquely suitable for probing faint diffuse backgrounds. Resolved sources were removed from the maps to a magnitude limit of magAB ≃ 25, as indicated by the level of the remaining shot noise. The maps were then Fourier transformed and their power spectra were evaluated. Instrumental noise was estimated from the time-differenced data, and subtracting this isolates the spatial fluctuations of the actual sky. The power spectra of the source-subtracted fields remain identical (within the observational uncertainties) for the three epochs indicating that zodiacal light contributes negligibly to the fluctuations. Comparing to 8 μm power spectra shows that Galactic cirrus cannot account for the fluctuations. The signal appears isotropically distributed on the sky as required for an extragalactic origin. The CIB fluctuations continue to diverge to >10 times those of known galaxy populations on angular scales out to ≲ 1°. The low shot-noise levels remaining in the diffuse maps indicate that the large-scale fluctuations arise from the spatial clustering of faint sources well below the confusion noise. The spatial spectrum of these fluctuations is in reasonable agreement with an origin in populations clustered according to the standard cosmological model (ΛCDM) at epochs coinciding with the first stars era. © 2012.

I don't really want to do "much" to it for 4 years or so.
i was thinking about changing door handles and bench tops, or re-laminating bench tops.
I have stainless steel fridge and am thinking about buying a s/s microwave (even though I have had or wanted one for 10 years)
I want to replace the old 600m oven with a s/s 900m oven and put a s/s dishwasher in maybe.
I am happy to paint - but would prefer to tile to the ceiling. I Will most definitely be changing the curtains.
I have a black hanging pot rack, and those hanging spice racks, etc ("like in the black and red kitchen) that will be going up too.
What colour handles/curtains/tiles/paint/bench tops/kettle/toaster/etc
do you think would compliment the pale olive green doors and wood on the edges of the bench tops to make it look a bit more modern?

Wireless flash control company PocketWizard has updated the firmware of its ControlTL system for both Canon and Nikon products. The update works in the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 radios for both systems. The upgrade adds features such as Hypersync Automation, which attempts to adjust the timing of flash firing in response to shutter speed changes to maximise the sync speed. There is also a Speedcycler mode that, when used with an AC3 Zonecontroller, fires groups of flashes sequentially so that one group is always ready when shooting bursts of images.
PocketWizard® Photo Products Launches Major ControlTL® Firmware Update
New features and upgrades available now for MiniTT1® and FlexTT5® radios, both Canon and Nikon versions
So. Burlington, VT – September 1, 2011 – PocketWizard, the industry leader in wireless control and synchronization of cameras, flash and light meters, announces a major new update to its ControlTL firmware for both Nikon and Canon versions of its MiniTT1 and FlexTT5 radios. Available now, version 3.0 for Nikon and Version 6.0 for Canon include several new features and updates to make the system more powerful than ever including HyperSync™ Automation, SpeedCycler and Off Camera Power Control. Any current owner of the ControlTL system can install these new features and updates for free using the PocketWizard Utility.
"We're excited about these new features for the ControlTL system and the creative potential they represent for photographers," said Dave Schmidt, Vice President of Marketing at LPA Design, the company that manufacturers PocketWizard photo products. "Firmware upgrades such as this are a benefit for photographers who invest in PocketWizard radios. HyperSync Automation will be a game changer in that it opens up the amazing capability to use blazing fast sync speeds with flash units – creating amazing potential in sports or portrait applications."
About HyperSync Automation
A number of enhancements have been made to the MiniTT1 and FlexTT5's HyperSync feature. These changes can improve the performance of HyperSync and make it easier to configure. This new method adjusts HyperSync timing in two separate places – on the transmitter and on the receiving ControlTL radio. The transmitting or on-camera MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 automatically adjusts HyperSync to compensate for changes made to shutter speed. Photographers can further refine HyperSync via the PocketWizard Utility.
The receiving ControlTL radio can additionally compensate for shutter speed and flash power level by automatically making adjustments to achieve the fastest possible sync speed for supported configurations, such as a FlexTT5 with speedlights, an AC9 AlienBees Adapter, a PowerST4, or a PowerMC2. Some configurations require adjustments via the PocketWizard Utility.
HyperSync can now be customized on a per-flash basis. When using multiple flashes of different makes/models, HyperSync adjustments can now be made individually on each receiving FlexTT5 unit. If using an AlienBees flash with an AC9 AlienBees Adapter, users simply specify the flash under the Sync Timing tab in the PocketWizard Utility and the radios will automatically use the best timings for every shutter speed.
About SpeedCycler with an AC3 ZoneController
Previously only seen with PocketWizard's MultiMAX radios, this new mode is designed to rapidly cycle through multiple flash units fired individually in sequence. This allows photographers to fire a camera in sync with flashes faster than a single flash unit can recycle. It can also be used for triggering remote cameras sequentially. SpeedCycler is engaged on a transmitting MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 via the PocketWizard Utility.
SpeedCycler mode requires an AC3 ZoneController in the top hot-shoe of the on-camera PocketWizard radio. Zones A, B, and C will be triggered sequentially and individual zones can be disabled by setting the AC3's Zone Switch to the off position. Both TTL and manual flash controls are supported.
Receiving MultiMAX radios can be used instead of FlexTT5s provided they are set to a standard channel between 17 and 32. Users need to set the Standard Transmit Channel on the transmitting ControlTL radio to match the receiving MultiMAX unit.
About Flash Power Control without a Camera
Photographers can now take their AC3 and transmitting radio off-camera and use it to set power levels for any flash with a ControlTL receiver, making it more convenient to use an optically triggered light meter, or control the power levels with just a MiniTT1/FlexTT5 and AC3 in their hand while another photographer takes the pictures. Previously, an AC3 ZoneController on a MiniTT1 or FlexTT5 needed to be on camera to send manual power levels to remote flashes. Now, when connected to a MiniTT1 or FlexTT5, manual power levels are transmitted to remote flashes when the TEST button is pressed even when the transmitter is off the camera. This affects both speedlights connected to receiving FlexTT5s and larger flashes like AlienBees and Elinchrom RX units with ControlTL receivers.

This is the first time I hear about this trick of adjusting sync timing for operation at higher shutter speeds. It absolutely makes sense. I wonder why the camera manufacturers like Canon and Nikon are not able to achieve that with their own hardware, or am I missing something here? – All the connections between camera and flash unit are present in most cases. This might even be done by some firmware tweaking. The SB-900 has a firmware update feature. I don't own one, though. Comments, anybody?
It is probably patented.
A lot of features in the camera industry are patented, preventing competitors from adding those features into their equipment.
For example, for years, Canon could not add lens distance information to their flash calculations since Nikon had the patent on this feature. This is why Canon flash photos sucked for so long compared to Nikon flash photos.
Hey Lightshow
I think there actually is a iphone app for that. $20 I think, but not sure how good it is. I thinks it's called shutter release or something.
I'm using the FlexTT and MiniTT as well as the ST4 with a Nikon D300 and SB900's and the Elinchrom Ranger. The new firmware has enhanced the hyper sync performance with the SB900's considerably and I can shoot from 1/250 to 1/8000th with no curtain showing. I'm still working on the settings with the Ranger though. So far I can only shoot up to 1/400 clean with the S-head.
I don't really know if it was settings or firmware, but i had black bottom line at 1/160 & 1/250 with my D3 & TT1 synching the PlusII with a Studio Unit.
Now it's gone at the 1/160 still a bit of black bottom on 1/250 but from what i understood 1/250 is normal to get this.
I can go as much as 1/800 without black lines with the D3 & the studio units.
It is the same as the the last beta for the Canon version. I have still the same problem with my 1D MK IV (firmware 1.10) and the FlexTT and MiniTT that I have black bands in the top of the frame over 4000/s in the automatic mode of Pocket Wizards and over 2000/s when I specific choose the 1D MK IV in the menu of the Pocket Wizards.
When I select the 7D as camera it all works fine for me. This is know by support of Pocket Wizard and we agreed that I use the 7D setting till they have found a solution for this differences between my Canon equipment and their test equipment.
Hi Marcel! I also use the 1d mkIV and everything works perfect. However, I want to ask you, is your PW's old versions of hardware? I had all kinds of problems with mine, I bought them when they first got out, nad nothing helped. So the good people at PocketWizard decided to replace my old dented hardware with some spanking new ones. And after that they haven't missed ONE. SINGLE. SHOT!! Flawless! And I have put them to good use. There's no reason for them not to work at 1/4000s, absolutely something off with them, they need to be serviced or replaced. Try setting ALL things to default and try again. I just did that with mine for you so I could see if they worked at default, and they do. You'll get the best service ever at PocketWizard, I mean they replaced my 4 radios without any cost, and they weren't even under warranty anymore, although they never worked. Hopefully you'll get some that works, they are so much more fun that way ;oP
It all started with the 1.10 firmware for the camera and yes I have the first versions of the European Pocket Wizards. I have also second new version FlexTT5 and I will try to test it with a second new version of the FlexTT5 or a MiniTT1 to see if it is a generation problem.
Nice, will require some testing to see if everything is ok, but it should be better than before!

It's no wonder, then, that parents want to share in the joy of creativity with their children - both as a way to encourage their children's creative lives and to express their own creativity as well. For those whose creative life was revitalized or sparked for the first time by their children - or for those seeking ways to creatively engage with their children - "The Creative Family" offers ways for the whole family to deepen their creative endeavours through art, play, nature, and family celebrations.Full of simple activities and engaging projects, this book offers ways to: keep creating as a parent; create and connect with one's children in thoughtful and meaningful ways; and nurture a child's own creative self. To this end, it offers a wealth of different ways to connect as a family.

After the War of 1812, America experienced an "Era of Good Feelings" characterized by: An extremely popular president The emergence of a 2 nd generation of U.S. leaders Dominance by the Republicans A surge in nationalism that united the country & improved U.S. industry & transportation
James Monroe was elected president in 1816 & 1820 with a clear set of goals: To promote national unity To promote America's power in the world Republican dominance of the presidency & Congress helped push through a series of new laws He appointed Democrats, Federalists, Southerners, Northerners to his cabinet; including Sec of State John Q Adams
By 1816, a wave of new leaders shaped the antebellum era: Henry Clay (Republican, KY) : Represented the "West" Speaker of the House Proponent of national economic development ("American System" to promote industry & markets for farmers)
By 1816, a new wave of leaders shaped the antebellum era: John C. Calhoun (Republican, SC): Represented the "South" Sec of War; VP He was the nation's leading proponent of states' rights - embraced nullification
By 1816, a new wave of leaders shaped the antebellum era: Daniel Webster (Whig, MA): Represented the "North" Congressman; Sec of State Strong proponent of Nationalism & strong critic of states' rights While they did not always agree, this "Great Triumvirate" of Clay, Calhoun, & Webster enthusiastically supported national economic development
The Dem-Repubs traditionally represented limited gov't, states' rights, & strict construction But, without Federalist opposition, the Dem-Repubs adopted many traditionally Federalist policies: National economic development A permanent army Transportation improvements A national university in D.C.
American System Henry Clay's American System in 1816 proposed the creation of: 2 nd Bank of the U.S. The 2 nd Bank of the U.S. to stabilize U.S. currency Tariff of 1816 Tariff of 1816 to promote U.S. industry & limit the importation of British manufactured goods A nat'l system of roads & canals The "American System" helped unify North, South, & West Jefferson let the charter of the 1 st BUS expire in 1811 1 st significant protective tariff in U.S. history All were proposed by Hamilton & opposed by Republicans in the 1790s Helped pave the way for future RR construction & western Indian removal
John Marshall (1801-1835) used the Supreme Court to strengthen the power of the national gov't: Exerted the power of the national gov't over the states Rejected the claim that states could check powers of the national gov' t Affirmed the loose construction argument of the elastic clause
Dartmouth v. Woodward (1819): Dartmouth v. Woodward (1819): gov't cannot interfere with contracts between private parties Dartmouth v. Woodward (1819): Dartmouth v. Woodward (1819): McCullough v. Maryland (1819): McCullough v. Maryland (1819): Congress possesses powers not explicitly stated in Constitution; Congressional laws are supreme to decisions made by the states McCullough v. Maryland (1819): McCullough v. Maryland (1819): Gibbons v. Odgen (1824): Gibbons v. Odgen (1824): interstate commerce is power reserved for national gov't Gibbons v. Odgen (1824): Gibbons v. Odgen (1824):
President Monroe & Sec of State JQ Adams developed a nationalist foreign policy agenda Rush-Bagot Treaty (1817): to avoid conflicts along the Great Lakes, the U.S. agreed not to take Canada & Britain not to invade the U.S The Convention of 1818 set the US/Canada border set at the 49º
Monroe & JQ Adams turned their attention to acquiring Florida: Andrew Jackson took it upon himself to end Indian attacks on Georgia from Spanish Florida Adams-Onis Treaty Jackson's military advances & U.S. success in the War of 1812 helped force the Adams-Onis Treaty (1819) that ceded Florida & Oregon to U.S. Also, Spain assumed Florida would eventually be annexed U.S. agreed to pay Spain $5 million & renounced claims to Texas
When Latin American nations revolted against Spain, the U.S. supported the new republics: European powers disliked these liberal rebellions & were tempted to re-conquer them Monroe Doctrine Monroe Doctrine (1823) warned European nations to stay out of the Western Hemisphere & the U.S. will not interfere in Europe The U.S. will protect Latin American independence The U.S. will act independently & will protect its sphere of influence
The end of the War of 1812 unleashed a rush of pioneers into the western territories The 2 nd BUS made credit available for farmers to purchase land Many settled in the West to escape overpopulation, rising land prices, & worn-out soil in the East
Congress quickly admitted 5 states to the Union: Louisiana (1812) Indiana (1816) Mississippi (1817) Illinois (1818) Alabama (1819) By 1810, 1/7 th of the U.S. population lived in the West; By 1840 over 1/3 rd lived in the West
The Era of Good Feelings started with a wave of national unity, but sectional disputes between the North & South emerged & would dominate politics for next 40 years Disagreed over the use of protective tariffs, especially when cotton prices fell in 1820s Disagreed over slavery in the western territories & states
In 1817, Missouri applied for statehood as a slave state & revealed U.S. sectional rivalries: North resented Southern control of presidency & its 3/5-inflated representation in House of Reps South feared a Northern conspiracy to end all slavery Equality had been maintained by alternating admission of "free" & "slave" states added to the US Population was growing more rapidly in North, so House of Reps favored Northerners NY rep Tallmadge wanted Missouri only if its state constitution provided for the gradual elimination of slavery
Missouri Compromise (1820): Missouri became a slave state Maine (which broke from Mass) was admitted as free state Slavery was banned elsewhere in the Louisiana Purchase above the latitude of 36°30' The Missouri controversy exposed a deep rift between North & South
The "Era of Good Feelings" led to: An improved American economy Better transportation More territory & more clearly- defined borders A foreign policy in Latin America But…sectional problems between the North & South
Both Alexander Hamilton & John Marshall were Federalists who believed in a strong national gov't. Who was more influential in shaping American history? Explain Which policy will be more important in U.S. history: Monroe's foreign OR domestic policy?
Essential Question Essential Question: How did U.S. foreign policy change from the presidencies of Washington to Monroe? RQ Ch 10B (328-340)

Santa Maria Arts Council
The Santa Maria Arts Council is an umbrella organization for local art groups and supporters. The Arts Council continues to initiate, encourage, and expand activities which open new opportunities for all artists, students, and residents of the Santa Maria valley. Council members include artists, arts advocates, educators, city and government leaders, business, and various art groups.
The Council meets monthly on the third Wednesday of the month at noon at various locations including Able Maldonado, Vets Memorial, and Minami Centers. Sign up for Arts Council News to receive meeting announcements.
The Arts Council encourages and supports emerging artists through the
Individual Grants Competition
which this year will disburse $13,000 annually to first and second place finalists in music, drama, dance, and visual arts.
The Council administers the
Lester B. Hayes Grant
in support of arts education programs in the valley.
The Council sponsors the annual
Student Arts Show,
and supports Santa Maria's Autumn Arts Grapes and Grains Festival.
The Student Art Show awards are provided by the sale of raffle tickets for the
Birdhouse fundraiser
held at Autumn Arts, the first Saturday in October.
And one of the most important things about art is it teaches you to not just think about yourself, but it puts you in the head of other people. So you start realizing somebody else's pain, or somebody else's hopes. And you start realizing that we have more in common. So if I read a novel by somebody in Africa, now, suddenly, I understand more about how we are similar. And if I listen to a Vietnamese rap, and it connects to the things that I'm feeling, now I feel closer to a country on the other side of the world. And that's how we build understanding. And that's how we end up being able to work together and plan together and build a better future together.

Nice work Marigold.
Not so in control here! When I start becoming overwhelmed/stressed out towards evening (often due to very challenging toddler) or my newborn or both! It seems to be a 'hit the pantry' reaction I'm having. Not good!
Have done lots of walking today though...
How's everyone else going? :-)
Only day two for me, white bread sandwiches for lunch at a customers office, so unhealthy and not even nice!
Whole grain toast and boiled egg for breakfast and lamb and warm pumpkin salad for dinner, cannot wait to eat it.
I've done really well. Day 3 of sticking within my daily WW points allowance (a little under actually) and did an hour of body pump class, ran through my new gym program with my instructor that I'll start tomorrow and walked up the 2km mountain ... Lots of sweating. I feel really good about it. Plus I've been in my feet all day and now is really the first chance I'll had to sit down.
I've made my lunch for work tomorrow and prepped dinner for when I get home from the gym. I'm finally in a good headspace. Hope it lasts... I was quite horrified at my before shots today. I should've kicked my butt into gear a loooooonnnnnggggg time ago!!!
Lissy12 (16-09-2014),~Marigold~ (16-09-2014)
My menu today was:
Oats made with boiling water, sliced banana & mixed spice
Salad and ranch wrap (I know ranch isn't the best but fits in my points)
2 lamb cutlets (fat trimmed) with steamed veg
Boiled egg
Plus tea and coffee

If we were ever to return to Merzouga, we would look no further. This place was absolutely perfect for us. Great location on the edge of town and about as close as possible to the dunes, very clean with air conditioned rooms and a pool to cool off in! The overnight camel trip was amazing and would highly recommend!! What was the real highlight of our stay though was how accommodating and welcoming the owner of the auberge was. Thank you very much for having us! Will surely recommend this place!!

text: INTRODUCTION Dear Brothers and Sisters, I am honoured to be present with the Committee of the Lilydale Cemeteries Trust for the blessing of the Yarra Valley Mausoleum and Stations of the Cross. The way of the cross leads us to meditate upon the life of Our Lord, who died and rose to give us life. We live in the strong faith of eternal life for those whom we love and for ourselves. We underline the respect and honour we owe to our dead. We are one with the cemetery authorities and so many friends in blessing this special place of remembrance and prayer. The European custom of mausolea shows us that people are not lost to us when they die. The love we had for them in life, the remembrance that we make now, the prayers that we offer, are all a sign that everything we have has been received from others who have gone before. May this place be a haven of light, peace and remembrance of the goodness of those who have passed from this life. HOMILY "We want you to be quite certain brothers about those who have died, to make sure that you do not grieve about them, like the other people who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again, and that it will be the same for those who have died in Jesus: God will bring them with him." (1Thessalonians 4:13-14) Dear Brothers and Sisters, The blessing of this mausoleum made possible by the generosity of the authorities of Lilydale Cemetery is an important focal point in our understanding of death. We are aware that when we die we come face to face with God, who will accept the choice we have made according to the good or evil that we have done in the body and our persevering intentions concerning that. So many of the people buried here in this mausoleum will be loved parents and relatives, whose goodness has shone out and for whom we remember and pray with undying affection. Indeed, in a Christian vision of death those loved ones whom we have lost have passed through death to life. Our hope is in eternal life for them and that is why we can pray for them, just as we hope too that one day we will be reunited. The ability to visit the mausoleum, to remember so many personal, small or larger things about them, is an invitation to us to see the value of remembrance as a means of thanking them for all that they have been and are to us and how their memory and their gifts inspire us and occasionally challenge us, but also to fulfil our primary Christian duty of praying for them that they may be freed from their sins and come swiftly to be with God. It is most appropriate that we gather to make the way of the cross and to come and pray for our loved ones. These unite us with Jesus in his desire that we may have life and remind us of the power of prayer for our own lives. We know that God is all-perfect. Nothing imperfect can come to be with God. After death in the time of our preparation or purgatory we depend upon the prayers, love and charity of our brothers and sisters who remain behind and with whom we wish to be reunited in the kingdom of heaven. This mausoleum made possible by the generosity of the cemetery authorities is that place of charity. People are no longer dead, lost, forgotten. Rather they have passed through death and into life supported by our prayers. We remember their goodness and we thank our generous and merciful God for all that they did, so that we might successfully continue our journey and like them pass through death to life when our inevitable call comes. So for all who are buried here or who will be buried here we pray: Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen. + Denis J. Hart, Archbishop of Melbourne

Run? I'm surprised he was able to stay awake. Jeff Sessions and Homer Simpson all at the same breakfast. Prayer is the pursuit of fools.

OMG. You went back to find some post from me. Well, you should have posted it. How about you go back and find it, then tell us what the f**k you're talking about.
Here's my post, for your reference:
You're an idiot. I didn't support the NAFTA agreement Bill Clinton signed into law.
I thought the Line Item Veto would destroy our representative form of government.
I thought getting rid of the Glass Steagall Act was lunacy.
I thought the Republicans were fools for negotiating with the Democrats and giving them no oversight of their subprime housing mortgage underwriting program that ultimately collapsed our economy.
I never thought we needed anything like The Patriot Act. The enemy is the enemy. Bomb the f**k out of them.
I can't tell the difference between the Democrats and Boehner, and neither can the Democrats.
by the way, you still haven't answered this question:
Where will the money come from to pay for Obama's government?

Prayer/Meditation is not something you receive. It is something you give. And, time is money... if you support yourself, that is. If you're a moocher, then time is free to you.
Air. Try living next to a paper mill.
Water. Tell everyone living in Las Vegas (potable) water is free.

Holy crap! How do you expect me to remember all the crap you write, give it up. You're statisitics are bogus, smart people, however you define it, vote Democratic. It's just the way it is.
Secondly, I'm not blaming you for anything except for your pathological need to own shit and reproduce. If you could tone those two activities down a bit I doubt you'd ever hear from me again. But you can't help yourselves, you see something nice you "have to have it!" Your pecker gets hard you've got to give birth to yet another beautiful child. Well, here's the thing: if I want to go fishing in a river you own and you try and stop me I'll kill you dead and your entire family too. No discussion, no argument, no stress. Just a dead landowner and a cheap house in flames with all the stuff you "simply HAD to have!" So I'll say it one more time: you see me coming you go somewhere else for the day. I promise I won't take any of your stuff. You got nuthin' I want anyways.

ImaginaryDave possesses the basic fundamentals of reading skills. He can read Stop, Yield and Pedestrian Crosswalk signs, for example. But he is completely lacking in comprehension skills.
...so runs Stop Signs, Yield Signs and has rolled many pedestrians across his vehicle hood. He has learned to accelerate hard afterwards.
This all typifies his TOPIX life, too.

Post it again, dufus. Go to your "information" and copy and paste it here for us to read. Don't forget to put the part about the spontaneous demonstration that never happened in all caps.
Here's my post again for comparison:
Put that timeline here for us to see. Make sure you put in all caps where Obama's spontaneous demonstration against a video that didn't even exist when Al Qaeda planned the attack and had a grand total of 17 hits worldwide before Obama invented his lie and blamed it for the attack happened.
We want to make sure we get all of those details.
Here's what it should look like:
Perhaps you are ignorant of what happened. It is obvious that the Al Qaeda attack in Benghazi was the result of a sophisticated plan.
The Al Qaeda assault on the location where the American ambassador was seemed to be intended to kidnap the American ambassador, not kill him. Stevens died of smoke inhalation when Al Qaeda attempted to smoke him out of a room instead of blowing the doors off and lighting him up with their AKs.
There was another Al Qaeda team prepositioned for an ambush to repulse the Americans that would respond to the initial assault on the location where they were attempting to kidnap Stevens. When it was obvious there would not be an assault on the Al Qaeda team attempting to kidnap the American ambassador, the Al Qaeda team responsible for ambushing the American relief force repositioned and attacked the subject team they initially intended to ambush at the location the American security team never left because they received orders to not assist the American ambassador.
And the White House watched this on real-time video.
Which leads to many other questions.... like:
Why did Obama lie for two weeks trying to cover up an Al Qaeda attack on the United States?
Somewhere in there is Americans seeking permission to attack Al Qaeda and being told to stand down, and Americans asking "where the f**k is the Specter" knowing it was on station and should have been blowing away the Al Qaeda mortors they were lighting up, before Al Qaeda finally zeroed in on them and killed them.
Where was Obama during the 7-hour battle between Al Qaeda and the stripped-down American security detatchment in Benghazi while the White House hung the Americans out to dry and watched Al Qaeda kill them on the real-time video feed?

WASHINGTON, Oct 26 (Reuters) - New orders for U.S.-made durable goods boomed a much greater-than-expected 7.8 percent in September on a rush of civilian aircraft orders, but rose less than forecast when volatile transportation orders were stripped from the total, a government report showed on Thursday. The biggest jump in durables orders since June 2000 was propelled by a 183.2 percent rise in nondefense aircraft and parts orders, according to the Commerce Department. That was the highest ...

Forget Fabio Capello. The man with the toughest job in Britain during 2010 is Robert Stheeman, chief executive of the Debt Management Office (DMO), who has the unenviable task of selling some £225 billion worth of gilts this financial year and a further £174 billion worth in 2010-11.
Mr Stheeman himself is fairly relaxed about the task, as you can read in our interview with him on page 65, but one has to wonder why.
As he freely acknowledges, the DMO has not been forced to offer gilts at outlandish rates this year because the Bank of England's quantitative easing
