Live Mail searches
Advice needed on Windows Live Mail
I have a question regarding the search results one gets. Part of it stems from difficulties encountered when transitioning from (Vista) Windows Mail to 7 Windows Live Mail. Parts of some folders got imported twice.
So when I do a search on a term (say "pillow") it cumulatively shows results in account A and account B, but not the actual folder that the message resides. That is to say that account A has folders 1,2,3, etc. and folder B has 4,5,6.
Is there an additional setting or add-on that would help to display where the actual message is located. If it is in the current settings, then I am totally missing it.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2010
"Parts of some folders"=emails? If so, they actually reside in the folders within WLM where you see them. Just delete the the unwanted duplicates. (Although there really shouldn't be duplicates in the first place.) I assume you're not interested in the location within Window Explorer, but maybe I misunderstood.
|My System Specs
|04 Aug 2010
WLM search
For clarification of "parts"...(in select cases), we'll say that 200 of 300 e-mails copied a second time. On top of that, it is inconsistent as to whether account A (folder 1) has more than corresponding account B (folder x).
As for the search result, when I click on the message, WLM fails to display which actual folder I am reading. And with a structure of more than 30+ folders (I attempt to archive a good number of matters as they relate to different organizational activities), in one account alone and this is frustrating. For work I use a different e-mail platform in an entirely different operating system and it is so simple and organized making me wonder why Microsoft opted to take the path they did.

|04 Aug 2010
Re: Search. You're right. When you use the "find message" feature it works something like previous versions of their email program in that you must first select a "top level" folder and choose "include sub folders". In previous versions the top level was "Local Folders" and since all accounts were included, you could search everywhere at once. Now, the highest level is either a single account or the "storage folders" group. Perhaps what you want to do is move ALL your messages to "storage folders", then search that top level folder. (Be sure to add the column "Account".) That will tell you which WLM account downloaded each message. But I'm skeptical if that will work for imported messages since WLM did not download any of them. In other works the account that appears to be associated with them in, say, Outlook Express, is just OE telling you where OE got them from within the OE program. After you move the messages (w/o any account association) over to WLM, WLM thinks they all came from the same place ("imported messages") and does not associate them with any of its own accounts. I suspect this same problem would happen moving old emails from OE on one computer to another one also running OE.
To associate imported messages with the same account they were originally downloaded from you would have to go back to the original OE program with all its downloaded emails, use its find feature to sort by account, then move all emails from the same account into a special folder within the original OE program. Then importing will maintain that Account-by-folder association and after importing you could then move them in to the correct account within WLM. But since WLM did not download them itself the account column will still be blank for imported messages but the "To" column will at least show the email address it was sent to.

USSR/Russia: 1970-2017 Historical Info available
The direct links to 21 USSR/Russia Historical posts are below.
Thanks to Rusel and Alex there is now detailed data for the best-selling imports in Russia from 1996 to 2001. At that time the Daewoo Nexia, imported from Uzbekistan, was by far most popular foreign model, peaking at 12,500 sales in 2000. The only vehicles to come close were the Skoda Felicia, Fabia and Octavia and the Daewoo Espero.
You will also find Historical Info for the USSR/Russia starting in 1970. However before 2003 there is no official data for Russian models so please get in touch if you have any information for that period. There is a Top 40 models ranking for 2003, Top 100 for 2004, Top 50 for 2005, Top 150 for 2006, Top 200 for 2007, Top 10 for 2008, Top 15 for 2009 and from September 2010 onwards you can check out a monthly Top 25 for Russia.
Witness the behaviour of immensely popular Lada 2101, Lada 2105, Lada Samara, Lada 110, Lada Priora and Lada Kalina, the success of the Ford Focus and Renault Logan, and watch the market ebb and flow, peaking at at 2.7 million units in 2008 before the GFC then crashing down. Witness also the first foreign model to top overall Russian sales charts: the Hyundai Solaris in 2016, followed by the Kia Rio in 2017.

Five Months in Uvita, Costa Rica: A Summary
My wife and I today gave the final touches on the cleaning of the house we had rented for the past five months in Uvita. Here's a summary.
We felt that we were wise to rent, as opposed to buying. Financially, properties are very expensive there. The house we rented probably cost well over $100,000 to build and well over $100,000 for the property. But the rent, including electricity, cell phone, land line, internet, garbage, water - $700 per month. Of course cheaper places can be had, but we decided that we wanted to spend the money to enjoy our time in Costa Rica as much as possible. I was able to do some good work online, and covered the expenses in any case.
We had a hard time making friends. We're both sometimes reserved, but we made more local (Tico) friends in one month in Grecia than five months in Uvita. When we were in Grecia, we were easily welcomed into family's homes, and we were also welcomed as volunteers at the school. In Uvita, we were rejected by both schools as volunteers and even rejected by the police when we volunteered to teach English (they were initially interested, but ultimately the chief said, "I'll call you to confirm" which of course meant no thanks). We also had a hard time relating to the foreigners in Uvita. Most seemed either drug users or SUV-drivers, and we just don't fit. More than half the invitations we made to other foreigners were snubbed. Maybe with more time we would have developed some closer friendships.
We loved the nearby trees with the toucans and howler monkeys. We appreciated the friendliness of the Toucan Hotel where they gave us coconuts and at Cascada Verde where they gave us cuttings and katuk for salad. We loved the view, the weather, the convenience of the store, the usually-reliable internet connection.
We never had even one thing stolen from us in Uvita. We left out tools, machetes, gloves, umbrellas, motorycle helmets, electric dog shears, kitchen utensils (the house had an open design and it would have been hard to lock these things up every time we left). We heard about a few robberies by intimidation, but we were never ourselves threatened in any way.
Overall it was a blessing to live there and to have a peaceful and safe environment close to nature to welcome our daughter into this world.
Today we traveled by taxi to Perez Zeledon (25,000 colones), by bus to San Jose (4,300 colones), and then locally to our friend's house where we are staying now.
We did have one near-loss on the bus ride today. We had quite a lot of stuff, including my expensive LCD computer monitor. I had it next to me in the aisle (in the second-to-last row of the bus), but it was banging around a little. One Tico man about 25 years old, about six-two and muscular, was sitting in the stairway just in front of us. His wife and child were in the seats behind us. He suggested that we put the LCD monitor on the convenient space next to him, underneath the seats in front of me. I made a mistake. I agreed, and gave him the LCD monitor. Later, just before Cartago, he and his wife and child got off the bus. My wife noticed that just as he left, he grabbed our monitor. She said to me loudly, "Our computer!" I looked out the window and was shocked to see the man carrying away our LCD monitor. I bolted down the stairs and barely made it out the door as it was closing, with the bus already in motion. He started to run, with the monitor. I ran fast, and he had a backpack and the box for the LCD display, so I was catching up. Then he just put down the LCD box as he was running. Amazingly, it skidded to a stop without even falling over. He kept running. I took back our monitor in my hand still in its box and went back and boarded the bus. "No piense que todos los Ticos son así," said the man across from the aisle, lifting his nose from Deutoronomy. "Yo sé," I said. Many people in the bus were still looking back, so I said, "Solamente que hay que estar bien listo uno, aquí en Costa Rica." Everyone went back to their sleeping positions. After we got off the bus, our friend from Deuteronomy said he was glad that we'd gotten back the monitor and apologized on behalf of his country. I said thanks.
In retrospect, I'm not sure whether I made a wise choice to chase him. Obviously, it's possible he could have been armed, or that he and nearby friends might have ganged up on me. But I definitely made a poor choice to trust him with the expensive, flat-screen monitor in the first place. Getting your things "conveniently taken" from the bus as it nears San Jose is such a cliche at this point, what a 'tard I was. It almost turned into an expensive bus ride.
In retrospect, I'm glad we had the opportunity to spend the past five month in Uvita. It is one of the most beautiful places I've had the fortune to live.

Uvita houses
To Peter Christopher (and others)....I'd love to see pictures of this house and where it is exactly, contact info, etc. Is it half way up the mountain in the comfort zone overlooking the ocean, or where? Planning to go there for three months or so later this year. Also...how did you stay there legally for more then 3 months?...did you take a short trip to Panama or elsewhere to "restart" your Visa time? Please send or post more info....feel free to email me...thanks, Tomaji
Seems like a nice place to
Seems like a nice place to live, except for the fact that you need to keep you eyes open when it comes to people.
a litte racist?
Wow Peter. Spoken like a true bigot. I heard???? WTH? You've never actually been here yet you talk smack about the Costa Ricans? I might add that you failed to mention that Costa Ricans are also notorious for being the most generous, kind people in ALL of Central America and in addition to that...were voted "Happiest Place on the Planet". Stick that in your pipe and smoke it. What's El Salvador known for besides hosting bigots like yourself?
Peter, sounds like a nice trip overall
The cost of Costa Rica to me is not a wise real estate investment today, so it sounds like you made a wise decision. It was years ago, but I'm not sure the smart money is going there for real estate, but rather for lifestyle.
If I weren't marrying a Salvadoran I'd be tempted to invest in either Uruguay or Ecuador. The prices are better investments and Uruguay offers a nicer environment than many Central American countries.
For us, family makes the difference. We are improving his mother's house, building apartments onto the house, so she can retire with income, and seeking our own place to buy. If those factors didn't influence our decision, my eyes would be open.
El Salvador does have some wonderful benefits. In many places, it has an almost American California feel. In other places it is a bit more colonial-rustic. I'm not much on seeking the barrio experience to feel as if I've been celebrated as Latin American, like so many cheles I read about. I can have that in any Los Angeles ghetto, so I don't see the point. I am a bit more interested in celebrating comfort, than celebrating my ability to wear my hands out scrubbing floors with bleach. So I won't be a favorite among the pretentious who seek what they figure is the Latin experience (which to me seems slightly racist to assume we are all poor campesinos, but what the heck, let them have their silly fantasies). El Salvador offers this for me. Costa Rica? Too many snakes, chinches, sonpopos, and the cantos de cigaros would have me screaming, "Shut the hell up!" .Here, those putty colored geckos are cool. They eat the bugs and I don't mind their chirping. I don't want to hear a pit of snakes making the same sound though.
The birds here are fabulous. They wake you each morning singing, "Buenos dias, dias, dias!" And the strangler vines and bromeliads are incredible. The heat is tolerable, but I wouldn't want to amp it up a notch to Costa Rica's level. It's just right.
I think there are more hotheads here, but in a way I prefer that. It's honest, whereas I've heard that Costa Ricans can be back stabbers. I certainly have very little respect for Costa Ricans who pass judgment on Nicaraguans, when they are viewed in the same light by the world. It seems hilarious and a bit pretentious. I know they claim Nicaraguans are thieves, but of all the countries, Costa Rica has the WORST reputation for selling it's own daughters to pedophiles, so I'm not sure where the smugness comes from.
But anyway, I'm glad you had a good five months there. And to the snooty ones? Laugh your ass off. Nothing like a snooty provincial person to give you a good laugh in life, is there?
Bought a lot close to Uvita
The Uvita area is beautiful, but no Gringo should pay cash for a property in Costa Rica "and then search for a mortgage to construct a home". There are no "normal" North American mortgages to be had in Costa Rica. Renting is the best idea, but where can you find a renal home at $700. a month?
Uvita Costa Rica
I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your time here in Uvita as it is a magical place to live, visit or pass through. I will await your photos of your time here as I'm sure you've got plenty of goodies!
I've got a site on Uvita actually if you're interested.
Uvita Online
Served in the Peace Corps in Uvita from 1988 to 1991.
Back then the pavement, lights, power, etc. ended in Dominical. There was one telephone at a bar. And there was more wildlife than nightlife. Good to see Uvita has grown-up so fast. For all the hardships of Peace Corps/Costa Rica, it was still a "Country Club" country. Glad you took time to live in Uvita. The location comes off as almost magical. But "progress" can kill such places. Excuse the jadedness of the locals. Turning one's frontyard into an amusement park can be galling.
Pura Vida
Hold this for me
Well Peterchristopher there's an old saying.
If a Tico doesn't steal it he either doesn't like it or it's too heavy.

I'm wanting to see if anyone wants to join me but also sharin' info from this little psuedo "site" I've created (all of which I don't make a penny off). THANX for the explanation/help!!
<<Hi Vicki, perhaps your comment would be better as a "blog" or "forum topic" (just click "create content" from the left menu). It's a bit off-topic for this post as it does not appear to be related. If you could quickly recreate it as a blog or forum topic, I can delete the comment here.>>
Anyone want to join me in San Juan del Sur, NI in March?
Need a Costa Rica Tourist Visa run??
Anyone want to join me in San Juan del Sur, NI in March? I'll be doing a quickie 72 hour Visa Run via bus (though I MAY fly on NatureAir to Liberia to shave off 5 hours of the trip depending on my $$ situation at the time) taking the bus that goes to Peñas Blanca (NO WAY will you catch me on TransNica or TicoBus because you HAVE to stay on the bus crossing over the border till EVER person on the bus gets cleared on BOTH sides of the border. From what MANY have reported to me, this can take HOURS plus it's LOTS more $$).
When we went in Dec. we stayed at an ULTRA basic place just a 1/2 block off the bay (yet with COMFY beds!! Like $25/1-2 people!!) - The Joxi - & I'm checking on availability.
Wanna go explore San Juan del Sur together? I've already gotten a good lay of the land (see my "website" - http://SanJuanDelSurNI.com) & I'm happy to share (I accept dinner/drink forms of appreciation!!). Going around that timeframe yourself & want to connect up there?
I've been mainly doing my visa runs in Bocas del Toro, Panama but since discovering SJDS, I have a new FAVORITE place (in a different way)!!
Do you have more details you'd like to share on my site?
If you're interested, e- me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Admittedly the first three months or so of the year have always been slow for me in terms of viewing new films, but as a university student who will have to keep an eye on his 'budget' more, I might not see as many films at the cinema like I did last year. However by the end of the year, I hope to have a continually growing, but already diverse and interesting, list of films that were released in the UK either at the cinena or straight-to-DVD (though if last year proves anything for me, even if its obvious, the latter is precarious in the level of quality). Also of importance is that I will be including other visual works – short films, music videos etc. – to this list under the belief that seperating them is redudant especially in this decade.

In response to Obama: Cuts that Hurt the Economy are GOP's Raison D'etre:
Several outlets are noting Obama's comments on Al Sharpton's radio show, but the Free Beacon was kind enough to put it on You Tube…
(Trying to wrap my head around the fact that the President of the United States went on that ridiculous race hustler's radio show…ugh…so mortifying.)
But just listen to Obama. He says 75% of the American people agree with him, that the way to reduce our deficit sensibly is through his combination of spending cuts and tax revenue (but mostly tax revenue), as if saying so will make it true.
Since Republicans have already compromised on taxes, how does one square that with the Pew Research poll, John Hayward cited earlier:
70 percent of the American people, across the politicalspectrum, think deficit reduction is the top national priority… and 73percent of them want it done mostly or entirely through spending cuts. Only 19 percent take the Obama position that the deficit should bereduced mostly or entirely through tax increases. (Then you'd have tofactor in the people who agree with Obama's other, default position, which is that the deficit doesn't really matter.)
Wait, only 19% agree with Obama? No, I'm sorry, there must be some mistake. Obama told Al Sharpton 75% agree with him.

The Story
From Random House of Canada's website:
The long-awaited magnum opus from Haruki Murakami, in which this revered and bestselling author gives us his hypnotically addictive, mind-bending ode to George Orwell's 1984.
The year is 1984. Aomame is riding in a taxi on the expressway, in a hurry to carry out an assignment. Her work is not the kind that can be discussed in public. When they get tied up in traffic, the taxi driver suggests a bizarre 'proposal' to her. Having no other choice she agrees, but as a result of her actions she starts to feel as though she is gradually becoming detached from the real world. She has been on a top secret mission, and her next job leads her to encounter the superhuman founder of a religious cult. Meanwhile, Tengo is leading a nondescript life but wishes to become a writer. He inadvertently becomes involved in a strange disturbance that develops over a literary prize. While Aomame and Tengo impact on each other in various ways, at times by accident and at times intentionally, they come closer and closer to meeting. Eventually the two of them notice that they are indispensable to each other. Is it possible for them to ever meet in the real world?
The Response
I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into with this book. I received this trilogy through a Random House Canada twitter contest in December, and knew absolutely nothing about it. I've also never read any of Murakami's other books, though have been told they are wonderful. That said, though, it didn't take me too long to realize how abso-freaking-lutely fantastic this book is. It was just so unlike everything I have ever read, and right from the beginning I was hooked.
Are all of Murakami's works this amazing?
One of the things that kept me excited about this book, is the relationship between the two main characters, Tengo and Aomame. They don't actually meet in this book, but as the book unfolds, we discover how intertwined their lives are. When the book starts, a musical piece by Janacek is what starts Aomame's journey into the world where things are just a little different than she always thought they were; we later find out that Tengo was in a band that played that same piece for a competition in school. Both Aomame and Tengo get involved with children who have escaped from the same cult. The biggest one that threw me – some of the things that Aomame discovers different in her world are things that are happening in a book that Tengo is writing… So now at the end of the first book, I cannot figure out if there is something crazy magical going on, or if Aomame isn't real, or what the heck is going on.
This wasn't a quick read, something to be devoured in one or two sittings. It needs time to be absorbed. Even now, after having finished it almost a week ago, I'm still digesting everything that happened. Part of me wants to pick up the second book in this trilogy right now, while the other part wants to hold off for a little bit longer in order to keep savouring the after effects of the first one.
I just… I can't get over how well put together every single aspect of this story was. How every itty bitty little detail ended up coming back up at a later point, and how all of a sudden it would click into place and suddenly make much more sense than it ever had before. Murakami must have put so much work into the development of this book, and it's ended up being so wonderful!
The Bottom Line
So far, this is amazing. I'm going to be recommending it to almost every reader I know.

Homecare Homebase's enhancements allow PointCare customers to provide a low-cost combination smartphone and REDFLY Mobile Companion solution to their mobile workers that greatly reduces the risk of costly errors while increasing the overall user experience.

Quality is of the utmost importance when presenting our application across the various devices, and the REDFLY unit is a great option for many of our customers," said Jim Griffin, VP Customer Services, Homecare Homebase.
With software from Homecare Homebase and a smartphone, home health workers have all of the needed tools to complete necessary data entry for all types of patient visits and look-up that patient's historical medical data. The REDFLY provides a welcome addition to a smartphone-based solution because it gives users a more comfortable full QWERTY keyboard and larger display making extended periods of smartphone use easier and more productive.

This is not your Grandma's soap opera. Faced with dramatic viewership declines and a graying audience, Procter & Gamble Productions, which owns one of television's pioneering shows, "Guiding Light," is scrapping the model that it helped invent to try to appeal to a new generation of viewers.
"Soap operas have been shot, by and large, the same way since the 1950s, the same way that 'I Love Lucy' was shot -- with pedestal cameras, in just a few interior sets," said Ellen Wheeler, executive producer of "Guiding Light." "Our audience is sophisticated enough to understand that's old-fashioned, and it isn't working for them anymore."

|Christian IX of Denmark
|Louise of Hesse-Kassel
|26 November 1847
Yellow Palace, Copenhagen, Denmark
|13 October 1928 (aged 80)
Maria Feodorovna (26 November 1847 – 13 October 1928), born Princess Dagmar of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and later Princess Dagmar of Denmark, was Empress consort of Russia as spouse of Emperor Alexander III. She was the second daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Cassel. Among her children was the last Russian monarch, Emperor Nicholas II, whom she outlived by ten years.
Princess Marie Sophie Fredrica/Frederikke Dagmar of Denmark was named after her kinswoman Marie Sophie Fredrica of Hesse-Kassel (1767–1852), Queen Dowager of Denmark. Dagmar's father soon became an heir to the throne of Denmark, largely due to his wife's succession rights as niece of King Christian VII. Born in Copenhagen as a daughter of a relatively impoverished princely cadet line, she was baptized into the Lutheran faith. Her father became King of Denmark in 1863 on the death of King Frederik VII. Due to the brilliant alliances of his children, he became known as the "Father-in-law of Europe." She was the sister-in-law of King Edward VII, the husband of her older sister Alexandra of Denmark.
Most of her life, she was known as Maria Feodorovna (in Russian Мария Фёдоровна), the name which she took when converting to Orthodoxy immediately before her 1866 marriage to the future Tsar Alexander III. She was known within her family as Minnie.
Maria Feodorovna was the younger sister of Alexandra, Queen Consort of King Edward VII and mother of George V of the United Kingdom, which helps to explain the striking resemblance between Nicholas II and George V. Her older brother was King George I of Greece. Her eldest brother became King Frederik VIII. Her youngest sister was Thyra, Duchess of Cumberland.
The rise of Slavophile ideology in the Russian Empire led Alexander II of Russia to search for a bride for the heir apparent, Tsesarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich of Russia, in countries other than the German states that had traditionally provided consorts for the tsars. In 1864, Nicholas, or "Nixa" as he was known in his family, went to Denmark where he was betrothed to Maria Feodorovna. On 22 April 1865 he died from tuberculosis. His last wish was that Maria would marry his younger brother, the future Alexander III. Maria Feodorovna was distraught after her young fiancé's death. She was so heartbroken when she returned to her motherland that her relatives were seriously worried about her health. She had already become emotionally attached to Russia and often thought of the huge, remote country that was to have been her home. The disaster had brought her very close to "Nixa's" parents, and she received a letter from Alexander II in which the Emperor attempted to console her. He told Maria Feodorovna in very affectionate terms that he hoped she would still consider herself a member of their family.[1] In June 1866, while on a visit to Copenhagen, the Tsarevich Alexander asked Maria for her hand. They had both been in her room looking over photographs together.[2]
Maria Feodorovna left Copenhagen on 1 September 1866. Hans Christian Andersen was among the crowd which flocked to the quay in order to see her off. The writer remarked in his diary: "Yesterday, at the quay, while passing me by, she stopped and took me by the hand. My eyes were full of tears. What a poor child! Oh Lord, be kind and merciful to her! They say that there is a brilliant court in Saint Petersburg and the tsar's family is nice; still, she heads for an unfamiliar country, where people are different and religion is different and where she will have none of her former acquaintances by her side".
Maria Feodorovna was warmly welcomed in Kronstadt by Alexander II of Russia and all his family. She became Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna of Russia. The lavish wedding took place on 9 November [O.S. 28 October] 1866 in the Imperial Chapel of the Winter Palace in St.Petersburg. After the wedding night, Alexander wrote in his diary, "I took off my slippers and my silver embroidered robe and felt the body of my beloved next to mine... How I felt then, I do not wish to describe here. Afterwards we talked for a long time."[3] After the many wedding parties were over the newlyweds moved into the Anichkov Palace in St.Petersburg where they were to live for the next 15 years, when they were not taking extended holidays at their summer villa Livadia in the Crimea.
Maria Feodorovna was pretty and popular. Early on she made it a priority to learn the Russian language and to try to understand the Russian people. She rarely interfered with politics, preferring to devote her time and energies to her family, charities and the more social side of her position. Her one exception was her militant Anti-German sentiment due to the annexation of Danish territories by the newly created German Empire.
On the morning of 13 March 1881, Alexander II, aged sixty-two, was killed by a bomb on the way back to the Winter Palace from a military parade. In her diary, Maria later described how the wounded, still living Tsar was taken to the palace: "His legs were crushed terribly and ripped open to the knee; a bleeding mass, with half a boot on the right foot, and only the sole of the foot remaining on the left." [4] Alexander II died a few hours later. Although the people were not enamoured of the new Tsar, they adored Russia's new empress. As Maria's contemporaries said of her: "She is truly an Empress." She herself was not altogether pleased with her new status. In her diary she wrote, "Our happiest and serenest times are now over. My peace and calm are gone, for now I will only ever be able to worry about Sasha."[5]
Alexander and Maria were crowned at the Kremlin in Moscow on 27 May 1883. Just before the coronation, a major conspiracy had been uncovered, which cast a pall over the celebration. Nevertheless over 8000 guests attended the splendid ceremony. Because of the many threats against Maria and Alexander III, the head of the security police, General Cherevin, shortly after the coronation urged the Tsar and his family to relocate to Gatchina Palace, a more secure location, 50 kilometres outside St.Petersburg. The huge palace had 900 rooms and was built by Catherine II. The Romanovs heeded the advice. Maria and Alexander III lived at Gatchina for 13 years, and it was here that their five surviving children grew up.
Under heavy guard, Alexander III and Maria made periodic trips from Gatchina to the capital to take part in official events. Maria longed for the balls and gatherings in the Winter Palace. These also occurred at Gatchina. Alexander used to enjoy joining in with the musicians, although he would end up sending them off one by one. When that happened, Maria knew the party was over.[6]
During Alexander III's reign, the monarchy's opponents quickly disappeared underground. A group of students had been planning to assassinate Alexander III on the sixth anniversary of his father's death at the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St.Petersburg. The plotters had stuffed hollowed-out books with dynamite, which they intended to throw at the Tsar when he arrived at the cathedral. However, the Russian secret police uncovered the plot before it could be carried out. Five students were hanged; amongst them was Alexander Ulyanov, older brother of Vladimir Lenin.
When Maria's eldest sister Alexandra visited Gatchina in July 1894, she was surprised to see how weak her brother-in-law Alexander III had become. He seemed to have shrivelled. Gone was the glow in his cheeks and his good cheer. At the time Marie had long known that he was ill and did not have long left. She now turned her attention to her eldest son, the future Nicholas II, for it was on him that both her personal future and the future of the dynasty now depended.
Nicholas had long had his heart set on marrying Princess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt. Neither Alexander III nor Maria approved of the match. Nicholas summed up the situation as follows: "I wish to move in one direction, and it is clear that Mama wishes me to move in another - my dream is to one day marry Alix."[7] Maria and Alexander found Alix shy and somewhat peculiar. They were also concerned that the young Princess was not possessed of the right character to be Empress of Russia. Nicholas's parents had known Alix as a child and formed the impression that she was hysterical and unbalanced.[8] Reluctantly they both agreed for Nicholas and Alix to wed.
On 1 November 1894, Alexander III died aged just forty-nine at Livadia. In her diary Maria wrote, "I am utterly heartbroken and despondent, but when I saw the blissful smile and the peace in his face that came after, it gave me strength."[9] For a time Maria was inconsolable. Her sister, Alexandra, and brother-in-law, the future Edward VII arrived in Russia a few days later. The Prince of Wales planned Alexander's funeral and also set a date for the new Tsar Nicholas II's wedding to Alix.
Maria Feodorovna's grandson-in-law, Prince Felix Yusupov, noted that she had great influence in the Romanov family. Sergei Witte praised her tact and diplomatic skill. Nevertheless, she did not get along well with her daughter-in-law, Alexandra Feodorovna, probably holding her responsible for many of the woes that beset the family of her son Nicholas.
Once the death of Alexander III had receded, Maria again took a brighter view of the future. "Everything will be all right," as she said. She had lived for twenty-eight years in Russia, including thirteen as Empress, and thirty-four years of widowhood still awaited her, the last ten in exile in her ancestral land. At the end of November 1894, Maria moved into the Anichkov Palace in St.Petersburg, where she remained until the revolution began. Gradually, she was able to live and comport herself freely, and as time passed she grew less fearful. As Dowager Empress, she was no longer a political target for socialist and anarchist assassins.
Revolution came to Russia in March 1917. After meeting with her overthrown son, Nicholas II in Mogilev, Maria stayed for a while in Kiev, continuing her work for the Red Cross. When it became too dangerous for her to remain, she set off for the Crimea with a group of other refugee Romanovs. At the Black Sea, she received reports that her sons, her daughter-in-law and her grandchildren had been murdered. However, she rejected the report publicly as rumour. On the day after the murder of the Tsar's family, Maria received a messenger from Nicky, "a touching man" who told how difficult was the life of her son's family in Ekaterinburg. "And nobody can help or liberate them - only God! My Lord save my poor, unlucky Nicky, help him in his hard ordeals!"[10] In her diary she comforted herself: "I am sure they all got out of Russia and now the Bolsheviks are trying to hide the truth."[11] She firmly held on to this conviction until her death. The truth was too painful for her to bear. Her letters to her son and his family have since almost all been lost; but in one that survives, she wrote to Nicholas: "You know that my thoughts and prayers never leave you. I think of you day and night and sometimes feel so sick at heart that I believe I cannot bear it any longer. But God is merciful. He will give us strength for this terrible ordeal." Maria's daughter Olga Alexandrovna commented further on the matter, "Yet I am sure that deep in her heart my mother had steeled herself to accept the truth some years before her death."[12]
Despite the overthrow of the monarchy (1917), the Empress Maria at first refused to leave Russia. Only in 1919, at the urging of her sister Alexandra, did she grudgingly depart, fleeing via the Crimea over the Black Sea to London. King George V sent the warship HMS Marlborough to retrieve his aunt. After a brief stay in the British base in Malta and later London, she returned to her native Denmark, choosing her former holiday villa Hvidøre near Copenhagen as her new permanent home. Although Queen Alexandra never treated her sister badly and they spent holidays together in a shared cottage in Great Britain, Maria felt that she was now "number two".
In exile in Copenhagen, Denmark, there were many Russian émigrées. For them, Maria still remained the Empress. People respected and highly valued her and often asked her for help. The All-Russian Monarchial Assembly held in 1921 offered her to become the locum tenens of the Russian throne. She declined the request - she would not like to interfere in political games and gave the evasive answer, "Nobody saw Nicky killed" and therefore there is a chance. She rendered financial support to Nikolai Sokolov, the investigator who studied the circumstances of the death of the Tsar's family. They did not meet - at the last moment, Grand Duchess Olga sent a telegram to Paris requesting to cancel the appointment. It would be too difficult for the old and sick woman to hear the terrible story of her son and his family.[13]
In November 1925, Maria's favourite sister, Queen Alexandra, died. For Maria that was the last loss that she could bear. "She was ready to meet her Creator," wrote her son-in-law, Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich, about Maria's last years. On 13 October 1928 at Hvidøre near Copenhagen, in a house she had once shared with her sister Queen Alexandra, Maria died at the age of 80.[13]
Following services in Copenhagen's Russian Orthodox Alexander Nevsky Church, the Empress was interred at Roskilde Cathedral. In 2005, Queen Margarethe II of Denmark and President Vladimir Putin of Russia and their respective governments agreed that the Empress's remains should be returned to Saint Petersburg in accordance with her wish to be interred next to her husband. A number of ceremonies took place from 23 to 28 September 2006. The funeral service, attended by high dignitaries, including the Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, did not pass without some turbulence. The crowd around the coffin was so great that a young Danish diplomat fell into the grave before the coffin was interred.[14] On 26 September 2006, a statue of Maria Feodorovna was unveiled near her favourite Cottage Palace in Peterhof. Following a service at Saint Isaac's Cathedral, she was interred next to her husband Alexander III in the Peter and Paul Cathedral on 28 September 2006, 140 years after her first arrival to Russia and almost 78 years after her death.
The film Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna, in which Olivia de Havilland portrays the Dowager Empress, represents the latter as considering a personal meeting with Anna Anderson, the woman who claimed to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia. There is no evidence that the Empress Dowager ever had such an intention (or indeed that she had ever been requested to grant an audience to the woman). The Empress has been portrayed in many dramatizations. The character was voiced by Angela Lansbury in the 1997 Fox Animation Studios feature film Anastasia. She was portrayed by Helen Hayes in the London production of the play Anastasia and in the 1956 film based on the play, and by Irene Worth in the classic 1971 film Nicholas and Alexandra. She was also portrayed by Jane Lapotaire in the 13-part British series Edward the Seventh, the story of her brother-in-law.
Tsar Alexander III and Maria Feodorovna had four sons and two daughters:

Physicist Stephen Hawking and his wife braved the London chill to attend the premiere of his biopic The Theory Of Everything on Tuesday night (09Dec14).
The scientist joined Eddie Redmayne, who portrays him in the film, and co-star Felicity Jones.
Redmayne told reporters he's still "starstruck" every time he meets Hawking, who he first approached while he was researching the role.
He said, "I'd been a student at Cambridge and seen Stephen across campus, heard his voice, but I was pretty ignorant so when I read the script, everything was a revelation. Stephen and (his wife) Jane let Felicity and I into their lives, so we felt an enormous amount of responsibility to get it right."
Talk turned to Redmayne's Oscar hopes following a handful of early awards wins and mentions.
He added, "I try not to listen to buzz because it's a fleeting thing and if you listen to the good stuff, you automatically take on the bad stuff, so I try to put my fingers in my ears and just keep putting one foot in front of the other."

I thought you'd also like to see the kittens on their fourth day of life.Here you can only see two of them, but already I can see how much they've grown. In their first seven days they should double their birth weight...they are currently feeding for much of the day...their mother Wilbur is eating more than I've ever seen her eat before! We're now looking forward to the kittens opening their eyes which usually occurs between 7 and 14 days.

Ready to begin again...
I managed to get into town early this morning to buy a new pad of water colour paper. sadly the shop I use didn't have my usual which is an A2 sized pad with 300lb Cotman cold pressed paper. I like to use the watercolour paper because it's acid free, robust, takes erasing if needed and absorbs the ink quickly. I also prefer to use the reverse side. However, I was therefore forced to buy a single piece of paper rather than travel across town to another store. I bought Cotman paper again , but 200lb paper ( it was the thickest they had !) It was however bigger than A2, so I've decided to make my picture larger...the figures will be the same size, but I can now have a more in the back ground..
I've only done pencil work today, so I thought I'd post this clip from new series of Doctor Who. I know most of my readers are not in the UK, so hopefully you'll be able to see this clip...if not, then I'm sorry. I've watched Doctor Who since it began back in 1963. The new series features Matt Smith as the eleventh regeneration of The Doctor. We saw episode one last Saturday, and I give it the thumbs up....brilliant!

Martin Elliot 1947 - 2010.
First published in a calendar, marking the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977, the image captured the public's imagination as that same year, Britain's Virginia Wade went on to win the women's Singles Championships at Wimbledon. Elliot was almost apologetic when speaking about the image. He stated that he used only one roll of film a "..which is pretty feeble for a photographer" he said.
Ms. Butler, now aged 50 said that she remembered the day very well,and was quite amused that the photo taken that warm sunny September afternoon could become so famous.She also stated that she was proud to have one the most famous derrieres in history.
Meanwhile, I have had a lovely break with our friends Alison and Mark in York, and I'm enjoying time with the family eating our Easter eggs and cooking a meal... I'll be returning to my own version of 'Tennis girl' tomorrow as 'Three Graces' continues!

Three Graces - 4
The more I considered the next stage which would be to start on her hair, I felt that the shorter bob style I'd originally chosen didn't fit in with the composition. The grace on the far left has long hair, the middle grace has a bob, so it would balance if this grace had long hair.therefore she will have long wavy blond hair...there will be some appropriate decoration to her Alice band to add later.
