MANCHESTER — A 5K road race to benefit Parkinsons's disease research is set for Saturday evening.
Corey's Catsup & Mustard 5K Run & Charity Walk, co-hosted by the local restaurant and the Hartford Marathon Foundation, is to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. The race, slated to begin at 6 p.m., is to start and end on Main Street.
One of the downtown burger bar's co-owners, Rich Tyrol, came to the Hartford Marathon Foundation with an interest in organizing a race to support Parkinson's research, according to a news release. Tyrol's mother, a former teacher at Hopewell School in Glastonbury, lives with Parkinson's and met the actor Michael J. Fox at a benefit years ago, the release said.
Fox, who was born in 1961, was diagnosed with the disease in 1991, according to his foundation's website, http://www.michaelj.fox.org.
Police say Main Street will be blocked from East Center Street to Myrtle Street, starting at 5 p.m. At 5:15 p.m., Main Street from East Center Street to Hartford Road will be closed to traffic. At 5:45 p.m., the course route will be closed. Streets affected include Main, Center, Myrtle, Locust, Forest, Hackmatack, Prospect, Pine, Otis, Chestnut, Park, Laurel and Church streets and Hartford Road.
As the last runner passes each intersection, that street will re-open. However, Main Street from East Center Street to Myrtle Street will remain closed until about 8:30 p.m. due to a special event for runners after the race, police said.
For more information and to register for the race, visit http://www.hartfordmarathon.com/Events/Corey_s_Catsup___Mustard_5K_Run___Charity_Walk.htm.

When the heatwave hit England a few weeks back, I had to seriously step my skincare game up. My foundation had been migrating away from the centre of my face by midday: never a good look, but one I'm sure anyone with oily skin can relate to. I made my way into town to purchase my trusty Shine Away Gel by Botanics, only to discover that it had been discontinued in the past month. Still hurting here Boots. Fix it please.
Left abandoned by my favourite product, I was looking for skincare that was going to keep oil at bay for a reasonable price. Meet Garnier's Moisture Matte and Nivea's Regenerating Night Cream for combination skin.
The Moisture Matte is a day cream that contains a green tea extract that looks to keep skin smooth and mattified. I love the way this product feels on the skin: it has an unusal texture to it, but that's the micro-spheres that work to ensure it absorbs quickly. You can apply your foundation within twenty seconds of its application, with no risk of things getting chalky or cakey. Everything applies smoothly on top of this, and I've found that your makeup doesn't have that immediate dry look that can sometimes come about with mattifying prep products. There's no risk of a greasy face either: your skin may have a slight shine to it by the end of the day if you've powdered, but nothing ever gets to a hot mess kind of level with this stuff!
With night creams, I often find it's hard to find something suitable for oilier skin types. This was the best I could do in the drugstore, and even then it states it's suitable for combination skin, not oily. Nevertheless, we all need intense moisture to our skin at night to make sure it regenerates properly, and that's exactly what the Nivea Regenerating Night Cream looks to do! Once applied, your skin will feel smooth and soft: not greasy in the slightest. I think this cream is excellent, especially if you suffer from skin that's prone to redness or has an uneven pigmentation: you'll wake up with skin that looks even and refreshed. I'm used to waking up with oily skin thanks to the warm nights we're getting, but I've certainly noticed that oil levels are kept to a minimum when this cream is on duty.
Have you tried these products?
What are your favourite creams for oily skin?

text: Hi, just call me Mike! Have been cooking all my life it seems. I'm the weird kid that, with Mom's help, made my sister an angelfood cake for her 16th birthday when I was just 14. Tasty! Mom was a teacher who came from a farming background, always canning something in the fall but never really caught on to ethnic cooking. Sorry mom, but your Spaghetti and meatballs with some red stuff on the noodles, rinsed with cold water then served with the red stuff plopped in the middle of the white, cold noodles just didn't hack it. Especially when I was in college and started dating an Italian girl that I wanted to bring over for dinner. Did I say that she was from an Italian Restaurant family? After a few meals at their home, actually after the first meal at their house, I said to myself "So THIS is what pasta really tastes like!" What do I do? My oh my, can't serve her mom's spaghetti, I really liked her and wanted to make an impression, a positive one that is. So, I put my big boy pants on and called her mother and swore her to secrecy but was able to pry her homemade spaghetti sauce and meat ball recipe out of her. Also got recommendations on a better brand of pasta than what mom used. My folks thought that I had gone off the deep end. Long story short, the dinner was a success, she thought we ate Italian food almost exactly like her Mom's. Longer story short, we were happily married for almost 40 years, have 3 wonderful kids and 7 grandkids. Unfortunately she was taken early by breast cancer 5 years ago. We had many happy years of cooking together though. Looking forward to meeting and talking with you all. Thanks, Mike

Classic Fit Cotton T-Shirt is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Susie from Disappointed We were very disappointed in the quality of the T-shirt. Cotton was so thin; it was like an undershirt. We have purchased a lot of clothes from RL in the past. Not sure we will continue to do so.

Always. Like the word between love and your name in a love letter. Always. Like the pastel plastic promise that your period can become cute. Always. Like an ahistorical historicization. Like the production of eternity without witnesses. Like a recurring nightmare of hoping you exist.
The word "always" can be used to create a history where there was nothing but disbelief. It can also be used to make it seem like something is natural, just because it happens to have been going on for a long time. The Combahee River Collective Statement uses the word "always" to establish a tradition of black feminism that predates the work of the women in the collective, AND some folks have found fault with these statements about what black women have "always" been doing, because it seems to suggest that there is some sort of natural standard for black women's behavior.
How do you (want to) use the word "always" in your movement work?
Use the space below to make 5 sentences that use the word "always" (or don't) to describe the tradition and vision of your work as honestly as you can. You may notice that the word "always" has different meaning every time.

A Reflection from Noah Blose:
Michelle L. told me that Pauli Murray was trans. S/he was a founder of

our own, and why do we or don't we do it? How and why do we rewrite
histories to see ourselves there?

Mandy, Brandon, and baby XY
My good friend Robin is going to be a 1st time grandma---in literally a few days!!! Mandy asked me.....or wait.......did I ask her..........to take some pictures of her adorable belly. We were holding our breaths as we have been trying to get together to take some pictures, hoping she didn't go into labor before we could get together. She is due Sept 3rd. Anyways, what fun we had taking some pictures---I think the lavender one is especially to die for.

Recently there has been an increase in the number of child-related accidents or fatalities involving large TV's or large objects of furniture falling, or being pulled down, on top of small children under the age of 6.
Many of us may be unaware that a small child or toddler can fairly easily and unknowingly cause a 100 pound TV or large piece of furniture to tip over on them and result in a heartbreaking tragedy that could have been easily prevented.
As the number of these dangerous scenarios have been on the rise, the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) has even issued a special warning on their own website to help alert parents about these dangers. In addition to that, the CPSC has also hosted a Twitter chat about this subject with a group of parents and panel of experts on the subject which you can also follow on their website. www.cpsc.gov
CPSC data shows that between 2008 to 2010 alone, there were 22,000 injuries and several fatalities associated with product instability for children under the age of 9.
While most of us are probably already aware that small children should never be left unattended, we should also be aware that the best method for reducing the likelihood of an accident like this, is for us to first evaluate and reduce the number of unsafe conditions or hazards found within the walls of our own homes.
The reality is, it only takes a couple seconds to glance away from attending a small child or toddler, for an accident like this to occur, so let's get started with some tips on how we can take some preventative measures to help reduce the number of unsafe conditions in our own homes.
Here are some basic tips from the CPSC to help get you started preventing accidents like these in your own home or to help make friends and family aware of the potential dangers which they may be unaware of:
- Always place TV's on a sturdy, low-rise base and push them as far back as possible.
- Get in the habit of NOT placing your remote controls, or other similarly attractive items that might appear like toys to your child, on top of the TV stand so that kids will not try to grab for them and risk knocking over the TV in the process.
- Place electrical cords out of reach from your child and teach kids that electrical cords and plugs are never to be used as "playthings".
- Furniture should be stable and well-balanced on its own, and take care to NOT load dresser draws with the heavy objects in the top drawers, thereby causing a "top-heavy" situation. For added security, anchor chests, dressers, Entertainment units, and bookcases to the floor or wall for added stability.
- Check to make sure that any free-standing ranges and stoves are installed with anti-tip brackets to help secure them.
- Teach children from the beginning that pieces of furniture (other than chairs)such as dressers, shelves, TV stands, etc.) are not "playthings" and should never be used as a "playground" for climbing or sitting upon.
An additional note:
While an increasing trend may be to mount flat-screen TV's on brackets on the wall, some "experts" argue that this method for mounting TV's may potentially be increasing the falling hazard for young children. and you can read more about this debate about wall mounted TV monitors on the Twitter Chat that is featured on the CPSC website in order to help evaluate and educate yourself on this subject.

Getting out of downtown traffic.
To the country he is rushing
To snap away for the National Geographic.
All those close-ups of sunflowers, insects and trees
With his camera he could have taken.
But a painter he was, so he painted instead.
And his artistry isn't forsaken.
Go to Ottawa soon; you will see for yourselves
Forty paintings that could have been photos.
As for those "painting" digital pictures these days,
Hope they learn from old frescoes in grottos.

"A GOOD friend and a wonderful nurse."
Those were the words spoken by an emotional Ann Whitfield as Southport nurse Sue Fischer retired after 46 years of service.
Colleagues and family paid tribute to the 'super nurse' who has dedicated her life to helping people in Sefton and who finished her last shift on Friday, March 14.
Sue started her training as a cadet with Ann Whitfield in 1966. They trained together at the Southport Prelimary Training Centre where they spent three months in the classroom before moving onto the wards at the old Southport Hospital.
Ann said: "We spent many happy years dodging matrons and sneaking out!"
This was at a time when nurses were viewed as something very special – Sue has dedicated her whole life to Southport."
In a family devoted to helping others, Sue followed in the footsteps of her parents.
Her mother was a nurse at the maternity hospital and was affectionately known as "tea and sympathy" for those who needed a shoulder to cry on.
Her father Ron Gunning was a male nurse who had served in the forces before joining the medical profession. And now, Sue's daughter Claire has continued the family tradition working as a nurse in Leicester.
Sue has two other daughters - Joanne who is a teacher in Solihull, and Julia who still works in Southport.
She started as a Sister on Paton Ward at the old Southport Hospital.
Despite her aversion to false teeth, Sue loved working with the 'Old Pops' as she referred to them on her ward.
She moved to the new Southport and Formby Hospital when it opened, eventually specialising as a diabetic nurse.
Ann added: "Sue always said 'if I want 100 per cent, I have to give 200 per cent,' and that is what she did.
"Her mum would be very proud."
Duggie Stead, Sue's partner of five years, said: "Sue is a very well thought of lady.
"She has been involved with almost all the trainee doctors in Southport. Almost every doctor and surgeon has called on her at some point.
"Her retirement is a big loss for the whole team."
Colleagues have paid tribute to the nurse who has been such an important member of the Southport community for nearly half a century.
Ellen Cye who has worked with Sue since 1988 said: "It is a real shame Sue is leaving.
"She will be really missed by both staff and patients alike."
However, Sue is now free to follow a dream she has had for many years as she and Duggie move to Deux Sevre in France for a well-deserved break.

Citations for factotum
Mickey was a qualified solicitor who no longer practised the law but instead worked full-time as a factotum, fixer and odd-job man for a Premiership football club.
"I hope I shall not seem to boast if I say that I am the factotum here, the proprietress's right hand, she having been widowed these ten years."
Origin of factotum
Factotum has roots in the Latin facere meaning "to make; do" and tōtus meaning "all." It entered English in the mid-1500s.

I believe that Medicare is legitimate and should not be abolished. The program is so crucial for older people and people with disabilities. How would these people get health care if Medicare did not exist? It would be a disaster. The program might need some overhaul but totally getting rid of it would be a huge mistake.
When I first looked at a chart that showed where our tax federal tax money was going, I was surprised by the the amount of money 25% (851 billion) that was spent on medicaid and medicare. While I think that discounted or even free medical care for low income families is good, that is not where most of this 851 billion is going, a large percent of this money is being spent on, what I like to call, the old person syndrome. Medicare gives free medical care and assistance to those over age 65, and when it was put into effect in the 1860s most of those 65+ group was already dead or was on its way to a quick timely demise. Now, in the 21st century we have the technology and the cushy lifestyle to allow average men and women to live well into their eighties and nineties. This presents medicare with a problem, do they support eighty and ninety year olds, hooking themselves up to expensive machines so they can live another few years in a bed with food and water being pumped directly into their blood. Or do they stop supporting these walking shells and save billions of taxpayers dollars. It is my opinion that we as taxpayers and human beings should no longer pour billions into people that would be spending the rest of their life in bed with oxygen being pumped through their lungs and nutrition being pumped into their veins. I propose that the government should only help pay for treatments when the patient has a viable chance of recovery.
Medicare oversteps the bounds established for the authority of the central state is the USA. It short circuits the private market for medical services to the elderly, it burdens younger people for insufficient reimbursement for treating the care, and it steals for every working person that has taxes removed from their paychecks - by law.
Medicare should be abolished, It is unconstitutional to force anyone at any age on insurance they don't want! We watch as they take it out of every pay check then force us to take it at a certain age! Doesnt cover much so u have to buy a supplemental insurance then watch them take money out of your S. S checks! Medicare is a scam!
And how does the government expect all these young mothers to attend their prenatal appointments? The government offers up money, convincing our society its a good thing to increase our family size, even offering money as an incentive and now you want to leave them in the lurch when they and their children will need the government help most. Our government disgust me.

Brooklyn Brewery
|Brooklyn, New York
|Annual production volume
|217,000 US beer barrels (255,000 hL) in 2013[1]
|Active beers
|Seasonal beers
Brooklyn Brewery is a brewery in Brooklyn, New York City, United States. It was started in 1988 by Steve Hindy and Tom Potter.
Hindy learned to brew beer during a six-year stay in various Middle Eastern nations such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Upon his return to his home in Brooklyn in 1984, he and Potter, his downstairs neighbor from Park Slope, quit their jobs and founded the brewery.[2] The pair hired graphic designer Milton Glaser, best known as the creator of the logo for the I Love New York campaign, to create the company logo and identity.[3][4] Glaser received a share in the company in return.[5]
Originally all their beer was brewed by contract by Matt Brewing Company, and the pair started their own distribution company and personally transported and marketed their beer to bars and retailers around New York City.[6] In 1996, they acquired a former matzo factory in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and converted it into a functional brewery.[2][7]
Although the brewery looked to expand its brewing capacity in the City, originally most of the production, including all Brooklyn Lager and all bottled products, were brewed by contract in the upstate New York city of Utica, due to the limited ability to meet demand at the Williamsburg brewery, its lack of a bottling line, and the cost benefits of contract brewing. The company later sought to expand its facilities in Brooklyn, but had difficulty finding a suitable site within the borough.[8] However, an economic recession allowed them to remain in Williamsburg and undertake a $6.5 million expansion of the brewery in 2009.[9]
Since 1994, Garrett Oliver has been the Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster. He had first been appointed brewmaster at the Manhattan Brewing Company of New York in 1993 where he began brewing professionally as an apprentice in 1989. In 2003 he published the book "The Brewmaster's Table: Discovering the Pleasures of Real Beer with Real Food". Garrett has also been a judge at the Great American Beer Festival for eleven years.[10]
In 2016, they announced that they were looking to relocate their specialty brewing operation in Williamsburg after their landlord, Yoel Goldman, put the building up for sale as they would not be able to renew their lease for a reasonable price given escalating real estate prices.[11] They also plan to relocate their main brewery in Utica, New York to a $70 million, 200,000-square-foot facility on Staten Island.[11]
The brewery has taken a less conventional approach to marketing and advertising, relying more on word-of-mouth, brand visibility at bars as well as donations to, and sponsorship of, nonprofits.[12] Organizations sponsored by the brewery include Eat Drink Local Week,[13] Desertfest,[14] the Culinary Institute of America's Hyde Park campus,[15] New York Harbor Restoration,[16] the Brooklyn Museum[17] and The New York Poetry Festival.[18]
Beer School[edit]
|Steve Hindy and Tom Potter
|John Wiley & Sons
Publication date
|September 21, 2005
In 2005 Hindy and Potter published Beer School: Bottling Success At The Brooklyn Brewery through John Wiley & Sons.[6] The book is both a guide to entrepreneurship and beer brewing as well as a memoir of the authors' time together while building the Brooklyn Brewery. Beer School goes over topics such as building teams as well as guerrilla marketing and publicity, with each chapter being written around a theme in the brewery's history. The book is told through the perspectives of both Hindy and Potter, and received mostly positive reviews from critics.[19][20]
Esquire magazine selected the Brooklyn Lager 16 ounce as one of the "Best Canned Beers to Drink Now" in a February, 2012 article.[21]

Location: Conacher Lake, back of Thessalon ON, Canada
Date: Fall 1978 approx. time 8 am
Approach Direction: Coming From North
Departure Direction: Went southwest
Witness Direction: South
Description: First of all this was a kind of unusual experience None of the people involved saw the usual lights or saucer type objects normally associated with a siting, instead it went as follows
One calm, fall morning around 8 am, 1978, 3 Hunters, one of which was my father were standing on the North Side of Conacher Lake. They began to put on their life jackets and put their hunting gear into the boat intending to hunt on the other side of the lake.
As they stood talking, all heads turned toward a crashing noise coming through the bush, heading toward the lake.
What could this be my father thought to himself. There was no sound of any motorized vehicle. Maybe it was a moose he thought.
Within a minute sounds of breaking branches came out to the edge of the lake where the three men stood watching to see what it was.
To their astonishment whatever it was took off above the lake with a very loud blast, sounded like a jet leaving the runway- he recalls.
Following the noise it went up into the sky in a diagonal direction.
To my fathers surprise he had seen nothing he and two other members of my family just looked at eachother in awe. What could this have been my father has never experienced anything like this in his life. So my question is were they so close to something from outerspace. I think possibly.
Any other thoughts are welcome.
Color/Shape: loud and invisible
Height & Speed: approached from the ground went into sky with great speed, such great speed it was not visible to the naked eye.

Your commute will get greener: 8,000 saplings will be planted along Mumbai's railways
'Green Maharashtra' is what forest officials aim to achieve through the plantation drivesmumbai Updated: Apr 24, 2017 13:42 IST
Good news for commuters who travel by Mumbai's local trains — the view from your window seat will no longer be an eyesore. The railways and state forest department plan to plant 8,000 saplings along the western, central and harbour lines this year.
While 5,000 saplings will be planted along the central and harbour line, the western line will get 3,000 saplings before monsoon begins, officials told HT.
The move comes a day after the railways and state forest department signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to plant 60,000 tree plantings across railway tracks in Maharashtra. The efforts are part of the forest department's commitment to plant 4 crore saplings between July 1 and July 7 this year.
Forest officials said the agreement was a significant step towards achieving a 'green Maharashtra'.
"Large-scale forest and non- forest plantation is necessary to increase the state's forest cover from 20% to 33%," said forest minister Sudhir Mungantiwar. "We are trying to increase the state's forest cover through public participation. We value the railway department's support," he added.
In June 2016, Mungantiwar met railway minister Suresh Prabhu, seeking that land around the state's railway be freed up so trees could be planted there. Prabhu agreed.
- 60,000 saplings along railway lines across the state
- 8,000 saplings along Mumbai's suburban railway
- 5,000 saplings along central and harbour lines
- 1,500 saplings from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus to Thane and Chembur
- 3,500 saplings from Mumbra, Diva all the way to Kalyan on the central line
- 3,000 saplings along the western line
- 800 saplings from Churchgate to Borivli
- 2,200 saplings between Virar and Dahanu
Last year, however, the railways was not part of the record-breaking 2.83 crore saplings planted across the state. As many as 85% of these trees survived. The plantation drive was acknowledged by the Limca Book of Records.
This year, railway officials said the least number of saplings will be planted in Mumbai city owing to a lack of space. The most number of trees will be planted in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. "We have identified a few locations between Churchgate and Borivli, where 700 to 800 saplings will be planted. The majority of saplings — about 2,200 — will be planted between Virar and Dahanu," said Ravinder Bhakar, chief public relations officer, Western Railway.
"Retired railway officials have been growing vegetables on small patches in central parts of Mumbai for a long time. We will plant saplings in these areas and ensure that railway lines from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus to Thane and CST to Chembur get more than 1,500 saplings," said Narendra Patil, CPRO, Central Railways.
"Since the stretch from Mankhurd to Panvel on the harbour line and Mumbra, Diva all the way to Kalyan on the central line has more open spaces, 3,500 saplings will be planted there," he added.
Both officials said they would go about the plantation process carefully. "We will ensure that the majority of the saplings are planted before the monsoon season. We will not plant saplings too close to the tracks. Our ground staff will nurture these plants. We plant to undertake a garbage clean-up drive before we start plantations," said Patil.
Environmentalists, however, were sceptical about the survival rate of the saplings. "The plantation drive is aimless as railways will want to expand their tracks in the future and the saplings will die," said Stalin D, project director, NGO Vanashakti. "Trees need to be planted at areas that will be cordoned off forever," he said.
He said several large Gulmohar and Peltoforum trees were planted along a stretch from central to south Mumbai along railway lines a decade ago. However, they were all axed to make way for the expansion of railway tracks or the creation of small food farms.

Sprinters and Sphinx
Dreamed 2009/11/13 by Wayan
You know the game! Flea over this fourlane
But then, neither the locals do. Not since the new
Seeing out's as hard as seeing in; and their
Who's in there? Ha! Two thaw the headrime, to climb
They peel at last those wrinkled pressure suits. Eww!
Faces mere masks. Their icy flesh, synthetic, fast,
I fear peer-pressure now--upgrade us all
I love her as is! Can't bear to lose the warm
I wander the crowd shouting "Sphiiiiinx!"
Need one? She's the Sphinx after all,
Would she treasure one or two-three true
Amity; it's amour. When will I confess to her?

London: Pop superstar Prince believes playing the electric guitar his entire life has stopped him from going bald.
The 52-year-old pop legend, who can play 27 different
instruments, is convinced the electricity that flows through a
guitar when he strums it is the reason he still has luscious
locks, Daily Mirror online reported.
"Playing electric guitar your whole life does
something to you. I`m convinced all that electricity racing
through your body made me keep my hair," Prince said.
Prince, who has released over 30 albums during his
career, also admits he can`t "function" properly if he can`t
record songs.
The `Purple Rain` singer, who releases his new album
`20TEN` for free in the UK this Saturday, said, "Music is my
life. It`s my trade. If I can`t get it out of my head I can`t
function. Someone told me recently they saw me at my peak, but
how do they know when my peak is? I think I`m improving all
the time. When I listen to my old records I`m ashamed of how I
played them."

3623 (0663 or 8855): Celtic Costume - Recommended with caution
I am a bit conflicted over this pattern - although it is a relatively simple pattern to construct, there are areas of contention that need to be addressed.
The bodice, while easy to make, is so over-sized that in order to construct the shirt and skirt that accompany it, you may have to buy two different size pattern envelopes if you are not confident with your draping or pattern drafting skills. For example, I am generally a pattern size 16 (14 in retail sizing) - I cut a size 16 for the bodice. The bodice pattern was so large that I thought I had cut a 22-24 by mistake (I had to double check my pattern)! By the time I had finished altering the bodice pattern to achieve a proper fit, my corrected bodice toile was equal in size to Simplicity's size 8! However, the skirt and shirt patterns were true to size; in other words, the size 16 I had cut for these pattern pieces fit me as they should.
Another issue I had was that the shirt construction was ridiculously over-worked. For all the pleating and plackets and fuss, you might as well make an authentic Irish leine. You know all that fancy-smancy pleating on the shirt shoulder - no one will see it because it's covered by the bodice strap (now where is the sense in creating an exterior detail that cannot be seen and admired?). Notice that I not only altered the bodice by adding a peplum, I also altered the neck line of the shirt; and no, I did not pleat the shoulders.
Despite the sizing problem with the bodice and the hidden and cumbersome details of the shirt, the dress is flattering and the pattern pieces sew together well - just use this pattern with caution if you are not experienced in resizing (especially fitted bodices).
4055: Regency Dress (Sense & Sensibility) - Recommended
The dress was easy to construct, however, I made two significant changes in the skirt. First, I increased the volume of the skirt by two yards and created two very large inverted box pleats at the center and side back of the gown (five pleats thick) for an alternative historical look – it's a very pretty effect. Aside from the aesthetic, there is a practical reason to add a bit more yardage to the skirt, and that is fit. I found that using the skirt pattern provided gave the dress rather an anemic look and it fit poorly over the hips. Second, constructing the back of the skirt, rather than slice down the middle of a perfectly good piece of fabric (as the pattern directions call for), create a placket, and sew it in place for the center-back opening, I positioned a seam to the center-back instead – easier and far more practical.
Regarding the bodice, I followed the directions and gathered the base according to the wearer's under-bust measurement. I've seen some dressmakers dart the bodice front, but in this case, I do like this gathered look – it's very soft and feminine and flattering to the wearer. Also, a gathered bust-line is not only friendlier to construct, it's easier to adjust for a larger or smaller bust size.
Overall, the pattern pieces fit well together - again, I will recommend adding yardage to the skirt and creating a center-back seam (rather than slicing through a fabric panel and creating a placket) if you are a beginner sewer or have no experience with this particular technique.
5726: Victorian Chemise - Recommended
I constructed only the chemise in this pattern and I found that it was very easy to make. For newbies, the directions are very clear and the illustrations are well-drawn. The two pattern pieces that were used for this garment (the chemise body and the sleeve) fit together well. Please note that the chemise pattern runs about 1 size too large, so rather than constructing a size 14-16 for myself, I used a size 12 and it fit well. I used a fine natural linen to construct the chemise and trimmed it in cotton crocheted lace. This little number is so comfortable, I plan to make another and take up the hem a few inches for a comfortable "shorty" summer night gown!
8192: Renaissance Gown (OOP) - Recommended
I loved this pattern the moment I bought it way back in in 1998! It's not only well drafted, but it's a very flattering design for all body types and it's easy enough to construct for the novice sewer. My favorite piece is the shift (under-gown) because it is such a versatile piece and can be used for many historically inspired gowns. I have made so many variations of this pattern it's staggering! But why not use what genuinely works? For the gown pictured here, please note that I drafted princess-style sleeves and attached an organza over-skirt to the bodice, neither of which are included in the original pattern (the original pattern includes two bodice variations, two sleeve variations, and the shift).
The gown pictured was created for my sister for a themed wedding. It's constructed from a forest green crushed velvet, gold bridal satin, and olive/burgundy iridescent organza; bodice trimmed in burgundy and gold braiding.
9225: Regency Dress (OOP) - Recommended
While this is not meant to be an historically accurate pattern, it is pretty and relatively easy to use. One minor adjustment is needed in the bodice, and that's the size of the arm hole – it needs to be enlarged by about 1-2 inches for a proper and comfortable fit (no need to adjust the sleeve to make up for the added width of the arm hole, there is more than enough sleeve to compensate for the adjustment increase).
Like Simplicity 4055, it is very important when making this gown that you determine your hip measurement. Again, this Regency skirt pattern is too small and needs some added yardage for a proper fit. The skirt should measure at least double that of your hip size (my hip is 41", therefore my shirt width should be no less than 82"), although I usually triple the hip measurement for a fuller look.
For the bodice, do select the pattern size that is closest to the wearer's full-bust measurement because it is darted. Here the pattern is very accurate. As with any fitted bodice, darts will need to be adjusted according to the wearer's under and full bust measurements. Please note that when I worked with this pattern, I only used the bodice and sleeve pieces, as shown in the accompanying photographs. I removed the modern feature of the zipper in favor of hooks and eyes. For aesthetics, I constructed my own decorative placket and left off the neck ruffling. Both gowns are constructed of cotton and trimmed in satin ribbon.

Willys M38 Military Jeep
The WWII role of the versatile and reliable Jeep is legendary and spawned a line of products still in production 70 years later by the corporate successors to the original Willys-Overland concern that produced them.
Between the end of WWII in 1945 and the beginning of the Korean War in 1950, Willys had been constructing new 'civilian' Jeeps called CJ-2As, followed by the CJ-3As.
Willys began reviving its military Jeep production for the Korean War by upgrading the CJ-3A with water-fording abilities for the Marine Corps, designated CJ-V35/U, from March to June 1950. Additional changes made included a one-piece windshield, conventional wipers, larger headlights and a more durable rear axle among other improvements. This military-grade model was identified as the M38 with production beginning in September 1950.
Willys built over 60,000 M38s for Korean War deployment, and naturally Jeeps were once again in the thick of battle. Though the mostly mountainous terrain of North Korea might have logically influenced the Army to minimize the use of the Jeep, this did not turn out to be the case. In October 1950, the Jeep led the strategic withdrawal from the North when the Chinese entered the war. Once the fighting began along the 38th parallel (the line dividing North Korea and South Korea), the Jeep assumed many new combat and support roles. Some Jeeps were equipped with communications gear that allowed them to be employed in forward positions, directing air strikes and observation airplanes. With the heavy movement of refugees from the north, the military police also began to rely more on the adaptable Jeep. It could be operated on the paved streets of cities and towns or on the dirt roads of the countryside. The Jeep in Korea proved to be popular as well as the principal means of transportation for both officers and enlisted men.
This 1952 Jeep M38, from its final year of production, was subject to a ground-up restoration by a well-known father and son team, once known for their meticulous restorations of Rolls-Royce automobiles but since focusing on the preservation of military vehicles, achieving national recognition for these efforts since the late '80s.
This car was auctioned off by RM Auctions in October of 2011 at the Hershey Lodge, Hershey, Pennsylvania.
60 bhp, 134 cu. in. side-valve four-cylinder engine, three-speed manual gearbox with two-speed transfer case and four-wheel drive, live front and rear axles with semi-elliptic leaf springs, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.

"In early August 2012, a group calling itself the Bakassi Self-Determination Front announced that it had established a pirate radio station."
By Chidi Anselm Odinkalu & Agnes Ebo'o
The decision by Nigeria's government, announced on 8 October 2012 by the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, to abide with the implementation of the 2002 ICJ judgment in respect of the Bakassi case was eminently sensible. There, however, remains serious issues that require urgent exertion of the leaderships of both countries if they are to avoid a war over Bakassi.
Reflecting a new tone of narrow nationalism on the issue, Nigeria's media has mostly treated the government's position as a form of capitulation to adverse influence under headlines, such as, "Nigeria finally gives up on Bakassi". Beyond the media backlash, there are worrying developments around Bakassi that can only be faced down when the leaderships of both countries prioritize in concrete ways the best interests of the people in Bakassi.
On October 2, a group known as the Free Bakassi Association initiated legal proceedings before Nigeria's Federal High Court in Abuja to compel the government to resume full control of the Peninsula. In early August 2012, a group calling itself the Bakassi Self-Determination Front announced that it had established a pirate radio station and a flag for an autonomous territory of Bakassi, threatening major disruption in the area and to transactional life with the rest of Nigeria.
These developments inspired a vociferous coalition of Nigeria's civic and political leaders, including notable voices in both chambers of Nigeria's Parliament and Nobel Literature laureate, Wole Soyinka, who set about a campaign to unilaterally nullify the ICJ judgment and reclaim Bakassi at the risk, if necessary, of triggering a needless new war between Nigeria and Cameroon.
In a nod to this campaign, Nigeria's President, Goodluck Jonathan, on October 4, ordered a review of the country's options with respect to Bakassi. The Nigerian media widely interpreted this to mean that Nigeria would seek an improbable review of the ICJ judgment. The Federal Government of Nigeria's official statement of October 8 finally put an end to all speculation, stressing that "an application for a review is virtually bound to fail" and that "a failed application will be diplomatically damaging to Nigeria". But the real news in the Nigerian announcement was a little-noticed line in which the government promised "…. to explore all avenues necessary to protect their interests including but not limited to negotiations aimed at buying back the territory, if feasible."
On the 10th anniversary of the Judgment by the ICJ, such calculated implausibility casts a long shadow over one of Africa's least known citizenship crises with thousands already rendered stateless, and threatens to unleash the Continent's next protracted conflict and subsequent internal displacement and refugee crises.
It is not as if the region is in short supply of tension. The violence in North-Eastern Nigeria has already brought relations between the two countries to an exceptionally low level. Unless both countries wake up to the human tragedy unfolding in Bakassi, amid growing maritime piracy and militia threats, the area could become the site of Africa's next inter-State war.
Both countries have had a decade to prepare for compliance with the ICJ judgment. With no regard for interests of the people of the Peninsula or the niceties of international law and diplomacy, those seeking to "re-occupy" Bakassi espouse a dubious but evangelical belief in Nigeria's exclusive territorial and proprietory interests in the Peninsula, oblivious of the fact that they have Cameroonian opposite numbers.
It bears recalling that on October 10, 2002, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decided in favour of Cameroon in its dispute with Nigeria over control of the oil-rich Bakassi Peninsula. Following the judgment, Nigeria and Cameroon reached an agreement -the Greentree Agreement- in June 2006, to govern implementation of the ICJ ruling.
Subsequently, Nigeria lowered its flag, withdrew its troops and evacuated its personnel from Bakassi. Under a voluntarily schedule agreed by both countries, final transfer of sovereignty to Cameroon will take place in August 2013.
The judgment of the ICJ compelled the adjustment of territory between Cameroon and Nigeria along a border territory of about 2,000 kilometres in length stretching from the Atlantic coast in the South to the Lake Chad Basin in the North. By the end of August 2012, about 1,978 kilometres of border territory had been covered in the adjustment. A Mixed Commission facilitated by the United Nations and comprising senior officials of both countries has worked for the past decade to adjust boundaries in the affected border areas. Both countries have gained and lost territories in this process.
In addition to this, the mandate of the Mixed Commission also extends to demilitarization of the Peninsula, protection of the rights of the population, and identification of projects to promote their wellbeing, including "joint ventures between the two countries and cross-border cooperation".
It is on this last point that both Nigeria and Cameroon, and the nationalists on both sides, have failed the people of Bakassi. Neither country has disguised the fact that its design was over the territory and resources of the area. There has been no effort to address the community's huge and overwhelming citizenship, human rights, and development crises.
Despite its rich endowments in natural resources, Bakassi is a desperate place. It has no transactional life, few schools and abysmal skills. Adrift from its main source of economic life in Nigeria, it will require years, computed in decades, to achieve any meaningful integration into Cameroon.
The majority of Bakassi inhabitants are Nigerian nationals. When the full transfer of sovereignty to Cameroon scheduled to take place in 2013 happens, the people of Bakassi will be faced with a choice as to their nationality, since Cameroon does not permit dual nationality. Those who choose to remain Nigerians will become aliens on their own land. Although the Greentree Agreement promises to respect their rights to citizenship and residence, there is no obligation on Cameroon to grant residency permits to anyone. As a fact, Cameroon is currently not issuing any identification or citizenship documents in Bakassi. It can also choose to impose impossible conditions for doing so.
This impermissible state of affairs can be addressed through a citizenship and residency rights protocol to the Greentree Agreement. Such a Protocol would clearly state the entitlements of the people of Bakassi and govern the obligations of both Nigeria and Cameroon past the handover date in 2013. Absent such a supplement to the Greentree Agreement, further deterioration in relations between Cameroon and Nigeria towards active hostilities cannot be ruled out. This is eminently foreseeable and avoidable.

01-24-06 Celina man and woman cited for driving under the influence
By Margie Wuebker firstname.lastname@example.com
Two people were cited for operating vehicles under the influence after Celina Police spotted one car pushing another down the street following a hit-skip accident. The mishap occurred at 12:43 a.m. Friday in the 600 block of North Sugar Street. Tina M. Powell, 40, 6381⁄2 N. Sugar St., Celina, was driving northbound at a speed in excess of the posted limit, according to police reports. She lost control of her car, skidded 65 feet and struck the parked car of Tracey L. Adams, 440 Touvelle St., Lot 33, Celina, knocking it into the street lawn. Sgt. Tom Wale, responding to several telephone reports of a crash, first saw the heavily damaged Adams car and then observed Powell's car being pushed from the scene by another vehicle. The driver of that vehicle was later determined to be Nathan Kidder, 25, also of 6381⁄2 N. Sugar St. Wale pulled behind the two cars and activated the cruiser's siren as well as emergency lights. The drivers reportedly continued another 50 feet before stopping. Powell, who told authorities she had been celebrating her daughter's birthday, complained of injury. She was transported by ambulance to Mercer County Community Hospital in Coldwater, where she was treated then released. Both vehicles in the accident sustained heavy damage and were towed from the scene. In addition to OVI, Powell was charged with failure to control, no seat belt and leaving the scene of an accident. She appeared Monday in Celina Municipal Court and pleaded guilty to all but the latter charge, which was dismissed. Judge James Scheer sentenced her to three days in jail or three days alcohol school, a $350 fine and a six-month operator's license suspension. She also received a $30 fine on the seat belt charge. Kidder also appeared in court Monday and pleaded not guilty to OVI and no operator's license. A pretrial is set for Feb. 13 in his case.

After a delicious lunch at The Roundabout Hotel in West Chiltington, consisting of blue cheese topped mushrooms followed by seabass fillets, the Fryern Ladies Probus Club relaxed, with coffee and mints, in readiness for their guest speaker – Jim Buttress to talk about 'A Lifetime in Horticulture'.
Jim was already well known to half of his audience as he is one of the UK's leading celebrity gardening experts and judge for TV's Britain in Bloom and The Big Allotment Challenge. However it was a pleasure to meet him in person and to listen as he recounted memories of his earliest childhood days and his individual life's journey which eventually led to his many present successes.
Born on January 28, 1945 – during the coldest winter on record – he lived with his parents in a flat on the 15th floor of a block overlooking The Gorbals. He admits to being a more than difficult child and recounts the times his desperate mother would leave the old sea captain, who lived next door, to baby sit the young Jim. Her amazement, on return, to see him sleeping peacefully was found later to be due to 'a drop of whisky', administered by her neighbour – quite medicinal in those days! The old sea dog obviously took a shine to the youngster and left him £500, in his will, when Jim was aged nine – a substantial amount in those days.
School became a challenge, as the young Jim much preferred to be more out of class than within, and he found the nuns, in his convent school, to lack warmth and compassion. This strict environments usually found him 'in the wrong' which suited him down to the ground as the punishment was being sent out to the school's walled garden 'to be useful'. This repeated exclusion from class cemented his love for the outdoor life and passion for gardening. He eventually left formal education at 15 after what he describes as a 'chequered school career' to become an apprentice with The Royal Horticultural Society at their garden in Surrey.
Eventually, after 10 years working for the GLC, Jim found his greatest joy in managing The Royal Parks which he did for 25 years. However with the advent of privatisation and the computer age – blame Mrs Thatcher and Michael Heseltine – he decided to move on to a different, but successful life in travelling, television, judging and giving around 140 talks annually. In 2006 he was awarded The Victoria Medal of Honour; which is awarded to British horticultural residents in the UK whom The Royal Horticultural Society considers deserving of special honour. This award was established in 1897 in perpetual remembrance of Her Majesty's glorious reign of 63 years – because of this only 63 medal holders are ever currently honoured – the highest accolade in horticulture.
This judge thrives in an outdoor environment and his dedication has seen him judging competitions all over the world – sharing his knowledge with the public is his greatest passion. We all greatly enjoyed his talk and Marion Attree warmly thanked Jim on our behalf. She said that it was indeed an amusing and interesting treat and cheekily added that his gravelly voice might have been due to the whisky in the bottle. It was indeed in keeping that he won a raffle prize of a potted rose to take home to his nearest and dearest.
Next month we shall welcome our own favourite celebrity Julian Hoad to talk about 'A Day in the Life of a Vet'. Should you wish for any information about our Probus please call secretary Barbara Yarrow on 01903 743262.

Color-Logic and Mimaki partner to make wide-format metallics a reality
Wednesday, September 08, 2010
Press release from the issuing company
West Chester, OH - Color-Logic has partnered with Mimaki to bring wide-format process color printing to the sign, graphics, and industrial markets. The two companies have worked together diligently to properly implement the Color-Logic Process Color Metallic System on the popular Mimaki JV33 and CJV30 large format printers. As a result, signmakers and other wide-format users can offer their customers the hundreds of metallic hues and special effects available within the Color-Logic system.
Announcing the collaboration, Color-Logic Director of Sales and Marketing Mark Geeves commented: "The powerful Mimaki Raster Link Pro5 RIP software is the perfect complement to the Color-Logic system and enables Mimaki printer users to effortlessly produce stunning metallic special effects. Printing wide-format metallics requires no special prepress knowledge or technical operator skills. Mimaki also offers white ink, which may be used with the Color-Logic system to produce metallic images on transparent and metallic substrates. Finally, because the Mimaki machine can image either a white or metallic ink at the same time the CMYK ink set is being printed, registration is perfect every time.

One of my favourite war films of recent times is Master and Commander. Based on the Patrick O'Brian series of books it follows the fortunes of HMS Surprise and Captain Aubrey, as they duel it out with a much larger French ship off the coast of South America.
The makers of the film researched the period well. In some spectacular set piece scenes they ably portrayed how a frigate of the time functioned as a unit and how important were the leadership qualities of the Captain. The charismatic Aubrey led from the front and knew how to motivate his crew to accomplish the exceptional in very difficult circumstances. He had some memorable lines in the film, such as when Aubrey urged his crew on at gun practice.
Officer: Last gun fired, sir.
Aubrey: Timing?
Officer: Two minutes and one second, sir.
Aubrey: Lads, that's not good enough. We need to fire two broadsides to her one. Want to see a guillotine in Piccadilly?
Crew: No!
Aubrey: Do you want to call Napoleon your king?
Crew: No!
Aubrey: Want your children to sing The Marseillaise?
Crew: No!
Then as the film moved on to the last climatic battle, Aubrey laid out his battle plan to the crew before finishing with these stirring lines:
Aubrey: England is under threat of invasion. And though we be on the far side of the world, this ship is our home. This ship is England. So it's every hand to his rope or gun. Quick's the word and sharp's the action. After all, Surprise is on our side.
And so for the next 150 years and more our navy went out to project British power around the world. Ships run by men such as Captain Aubrey, were acting under and answerable to the British Crown, serving the strategic objectives of the British Government and always acting to protect British interests abroad.
This is why the news that the Navy is going to acquire two hideously expensive aircraft carriers, is a very disturbing development. Not the acquisition itself. The purpose here is not to talk about whether we need them or not. Whether, for example, we could just instead convert a couple of small container ships and then launch helicopters from them. No, it's the fact that these aircraft carriers will have no aircraft. Which obviously seems completely ridiculous as in, what's the point?
Unfortunately there is a very logical reason to having aircraft carriers without any aircraft, and it is all to do to with our commitment to being part of a European Defence Force. As my favourite blogger Richard North has been pointing out for years, Tony Blair in 1998 at the Saint Malo Summit, entered into an agreement with Chirac for a Combined European Force. This though was just a continuation of the post-Maastricht defence policy espoused by Major, and supported by Portillo (Defence Secretary) in 1996 and continued ever since. As Richard North admirably puts it:
Amazingly, after the debacle of the "carriers with no planes", we are now told that, trying to bridge the "capability gap", ministers have said the new carriers will be redesigned to have catapults to launch aircraft. That "will allow them to carry planes like the French Rafale". Oh, what a surprise.
The beans have been spilled by French defence minister Morin, who has told a "Euronaval conference" that: "I've asked our military command to consider the feasibility of stationing British aircraft on our aircraft carrier and vice versa." He added: "The idea is an exchange of capacity and an interdependence. It's a new approach."
Is it b******s a new approach. That has been the plan all along … even the BBC recorded it in 2003. It was picked up by The Daily Telegraph and on 4 February 2003, AFP reported that "Britain and France will use a joint summit to announce plans for a European naval force equipped with an aircraft carrier battle group on standby at all times … ", all under the headline "Europe plans joint naval force".
And, of course, all this was agreed by the EU General Affairs and External Relations Council on 17 May 2004 and endorsed by the Helsinki European Council of 17 and 18 June 2004 as the Headline Goal 2010, where there was an undertaking to supply the European Rapid Reaction Force with an aircraft carrier, its associated air wing and escort. Do they think we are that stupid?
He then adds that the French and British are discussing a new fleet of tanker aircraft as well as the French supplying us with a maritime reconnaissance capability, to replace the scrapped Nimrod MR4s.
For this is the whole point of a Combined European Force. And despite what Liam Fox in the Daily Telegraph on Saturday was trying to hoodwink us with, combined doesn't mean allied or helping each other in times of need, it means, well combined. We provide this equipment, you provide that bit, we provide this unit, you send that one. Bung it all together, put on Ode to Joy, fly the yellow-starred blue flag and bingo, a European Army.
That is why we have been spending fortunes on big-ticket items which don't make much sense from a purely British Strategic Interest point of view. Not just the European strike fighter, but also the Armoured Fighting Vehicle, the FRES. Billions went into this useless program as part of our commitment to Europe. Then when a real war started, we had to rework a bunch of rusty Snatch Land Rovers from Northern Ireland and send them to Basra, resulting in the death or mangling of hundreds of British soldiers.
When assessing what military equipment you have to acquire, you need first to know what your Strategic Interest is and then assess what equipment you will need to achieve your strategic interest objectives. Maybe it means that all you need to do to meet your objectives is ally with the Americans and their Carrier groups, and then make do with those cheap converted container ships. Spending tens of billions of pounds on fancy war toys with no clear sense of strategic interest other than that of forming a European Army is inherently wasteful and ultimately against our national interest. The European Army is being put together within a framework of 27 competing strategic interests, though dominated by the French and Germans, where the only clear one is that of 'ever closer union'. Liam Fox in his article stated, 'Yet it has always been my view that defence must be a sovereign, and therefore an inter-governmental issue'. This is completely illogical, given that when it is inter-governmental, it is no longer sovereign. It could be, for example, that in two years time our national interest will be to ally with the US to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Then despite having spent billions on them, we would only be able to use those carriers if it was in the French national interest to do so as well. We have effectively lost sovereignty of our Armed forces.
Imagine Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar. " Ur Hardy, could you send a dispatch to all the heads of the European Governments. 'May we engage the enemy more closely?'" And somehow I don't think the cry of 'God, President Von Rompuy, and the EU' would have encouraged Aubrey's men to leap over the gunwales and risk getting a cutlass through the guts. Especially as they are now more likely to get a musket ball in the back from the Italian marine contingent seconded to them as part of the Combined Naval Task Force.

Subscribers to the Tacoma, Washington-based The News Tribune enjoyed a feature on a DC-3 restored at Pierce County's Thun Field.
From the story:
"Its classic tail-dragger lines – cockpit and wings higher in the air than the tail that rests on a single tire – evoke another era. Two 1,200-horsepower engines power the three-bladed props that almost seem to touch the fuselage. Cloth covers the flaps and the rudder."

Meatless Monday
Mon, 13 Feb 2017 7:00 AM - 9:00 PM
Make sure to eat on campus every Monday because Mrs. Greens, D-Hub, and E-Hall are partnering with ABP to present "Meatless Mondays!" In the lobbies, we will be giving out lots of information on environmental advantages to eating vegetarian (or eating less meat)!
Come out and try it with us!! #25days #25yearsstrong
Why Go Vegetarian?
The Environment - Going vegetarian helps in the conservation of fossil fuels, water, and soil. It helps to reduce the destruction of tropical rainforests and wildlife habitat. A vegetarian diet can also reduce the production of carbon dioxide (CO2). Did you know that the amount of CO2 pollution produced by making 1lb of hamburger is equivalent to the amount of CO2 pollution produced by the average car over a span of three weeks?!
Personal Health - There are many reported health benefits associated with being a vegetarian. This includes a reduced risk of heart disease, obesity, certain cancers, adult-onset diabetes, and many other diseases and illnesses. This is because many meats are high in fat, especially the saturated fats that can clog your arteries, which leads to many health issues. People tend to worry about getting enough protein in their diet as a vegetarian, but there are a large variety of meatless options that contain plenty of protein for a well-balanced diet.
Cost - It costs a lot to produce meat products, therefore, vegetarian protein sources tend to be more cost less than meat.

The worst thing designing a website for someone is the frustration of trying to make every browser render the same. It has become a real challenge to accomplish this task due to the fact that the document object models (DOM)'s are different. Because of the fact that the W3C won't force these corporations to create a standard document object model, things have become very frustrating for a web developer.
The same of course go's for any other browser. If I design things to one browser but then check it for
compatibility in another browser it won't turn out the same. While being able to check webpages for browser compatibility issues, there always has to be some kind of variation from browser to browser, but most issues can be solved with a little extra effort.
