My father had no gun, or any land to shoot over. So when he decided that it was time for me, then aged 15 or 16, to learn how to shoot, he had to cadge.
We borrowed an old 12-bore from a local farmer, a rickety weapon the lock, stock and barrel of which were barely connected, and my father then asked his neighbour, Siegfried Sassoon, who lived in the next village, whether we could loose off a few cartridges in his woods. They had become friends through a shared interest in steeplechasing, cricket and poetry and also perhaps through a shared experience of war, though my father's had been briefer and much less horrific.
So with Siegfried's blessing for a couple of hours on a misty November afternoon we patrolled the undulating woods that he had planted up behind Heytesbury House when he bought it, flush for the first time after he got married, to the astonishment of his friends, in the mid-1930s - his own late 40s.
Not much wildlife about and we were thinking of heading home when a plump cock pheasant whirred across the ride looking for a spot to roost. I raised the gun, but while I was still fumbling with the safety catch an elderly figure leaped out with startling agility from a bend in the avenue.
He wore a battered felt hat and a bright scarlet scarf thrown round his neck and even at that distance you could see how handsome he still was. He moved towards us, stumbling into a run and waving his hand in agitation. "Please don't shoot, he's so beautiful," he cried, almost at the same moment as my father called back "Hullo Sig."
I had not yet read Memoirs of a Foxhunting Man or I might have been reminded of the narrator describing how as a boy on his second day out hunting he sees a fox run across his path; someone "holloa"s and before he can stop himself he exclaims: "Don't do that, they'll catch him." The narrator tells us later that before he went to France to fight he had "never shot at a bird or an animal in my life" - so his first targets were humans. Sassoon's attitude to blood sports, as to most other things, was not without its complexities.
All I felt at that moment was extreme annoyance at the in-and-out running of the adult world. If he was going to deny me the only decent shot of the day out of reverence for life, why on earth had he let us come at all? I could not be expected then to understand that it was Sassoon's besetting trait to repent of any gesture almost as soon as he had made it, to start wanting to extricate himself from any love affair or other allegiance the moment he had embarked on it. He lived in a haze of dissatisfaction, abnormally sensitive to outside influence but repelled as quickly and violently as he had been attracted.
He asked us to drop in for tea when we had finished, but to come in by the servants' entrance because he was alone in the house and there was no one to answer the front door (again a characteristic carry-on, suggesting both poverty and solitude but also an unshed grandeur - there appeared to be no question of him answering the door himself).
Somehow we ended up in what was clearly the drawing-room, which seemed empty until our eyes focused enough to see the celebrated gaunt hawk's profile outlined against the long window. Thus discovered - I saw from later encounters this was how he liked to be come upon - he pushed a plate of dry cucumber sandwiches at us and began to talk in a shy undertone.
At first I thought this awkwardness was because he was out of practice in company. His wife, Hester, had long since been turfed out and their only son, George, was away and for the moment estranged, too. But this was Sassoon's normal way of talking (his poetry readings at the height of his fame had often been more or less inaudible), and it was no obstacle to a formidable eloquence when he got going.
He talked in a way I had never come across before, without any reserve or hesitation, roaming across all sorts of subjects: verse techniques, the difficulty of finding servants, staying with Max Beerbohm, the Test series, his first meeting with Thomas Hardy, the shortcomings of his wife/son/daughter-in-law, his neglect by the critics - this last a recurring theme. "They don't understand what a talent I have for light verse."
He had no pudeur about expressing his resentments or his enthusiasms. To a casual teenaged visitor his self-centredness was somehow much more sympathetic than it sounds when recorded in cold print. But it was wearing to live with, not least for himself.
Why was Sassoon like this? In the public mind he remained not only one of the most celebrated poets of the great war but also an abiding emblem of courage and protest against the carnage. He remained a legend you were surprised to find still alive, a fact he was not slow to comment on with his habitual self-irony.
And though his later poetry had never been in fashion, the first two of his fictional autobiographies, Memoirs of a Foxhunting Man and Memoirs of an Infantry Officer, became instant minor classics. On rereading Foxhunting Man (1928), I found it a little too innocently nostalgic and sometimes cliched (it was his first prose book), but Infantry Officer (1930) reads as well as ever, crisp, caustic and lyrical.
Some of the set-pieces - his return a year later to the network of trenches where he had first seen such horror and which were now a harmless warren several miles behind the Allied lines, or his watching his company trudging back from the Somme an hour before daybreak - are unsurpassable.
In his Oxford Book of 20th-Century English Verse, Philip Larkin included seven of Sassoon's poems; only Yeats and Hardy had significantly more. True, Larkin's anthology was denounced by Donald Davie and others as a counterblast against modernism. But it can't be denied that Sassoon's war poems share with Kipling's the quality of being conspicuously memorable: the Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations includes a dozen of them, mostly in their entirety.
Interest in his life is sharpening. After John Stuart Roberts's compact and readable single volume of 1999, we now have Jean Moorcroft Wilson's double-header, with Max Egremont's somewhat shorter Life expected soon. Sassoon's story has also reached a wider audience through television re-creations and through Pat Barker's novel Regeneration. The image of the gallant officer who sickens of the slaughter and throws the purple ribbon of his Military Cross into the Mersey and who dares - in defiance of all the shibboleths of his class and regiment - to make a public protest against the war remains indelible.
Wilson is at home with all Sassoon's varied milieux: the Edwardian sporting scene, the Georgian poets, the trenches, the high bohemia of the 1930s, Wiltshire in his latter years. There is much about the succession of lovers or near-lovers - Gabriel Atkin, Ivor Novello, Noël Coward, Rex Whistler and above all the unbearable Stephen Tennant with his pearls and tantrums - but these tortuous episodes, in which Sassoon often gave as much hell as he got, are greatly revealing of his dissatisfaction as well as evocative of the period.
Wilson quotes freely from Sassoon's verse, the worst of it as well as the best. Because he was a fairly acute critic of his own poetry, his two Collected Poems (1947 and 1961) exclude most of his more awful pre- and post-great war poems, and you need Wilson's guiding hand to see that the conventional judgment is the correct one: that virtually all his good poems were written between 1914 and 1918 and a couple of years after.
The only partial exception may be the religious verse he wrote in the last few years of his life, after converting to Roman Catholicism. Unfortunately, he was by then well into his 70s and too old to enjoy a second blooming such as that of his friend and hero Hardy. But there were in those last verses signs of a renewed crispness both in thought and prosody.
"Always keep your eye on the object when you write," his uncle the sculptor Hamo Thornycroft advised him. Sassoon himself wrote to Edward Carpenter (one of his many gurus on a variety of subjects, in this case how to live a free life as a homosexual): "I'm one of those people who can only learn things by coming into the closest possible contact with them."
He was well aware that he lacked intellectual power and was inclined to wander off in a moony reverie, with fatal effects on the verse that poured out as a result. It is too easy to blame the faded sentimentality of his worst stuff on the Georgians, to whom he attached himself through the early influence of Eddie Marsh and Edmund Gosse (correspondingly they did not much care for the raw tone of his war poetry). But it was Sassoon's own inclination to look back to lost worlds and the happy days of his youth that kept him so stubbornly hostile to TS Eliot and to Modernism in general.
Yet in reality his youth was by no means untroubled. The Sassoons were descended from the great Jewish merchants of Baghdad. Siegfried's great-great-grandfather Sasson Ben Saleh was the last Prince of the Captivity at the Caliph's court, and before moving to England the family had been the leading merchants in Bombay, where their great charitable monuments still stand.
But Siegfried's father, Alfred, had been disowned by his mother when he insisted on marrying a gentile, Theresa Thornycroft, herself a sculptor and member of a robust clan of sculptors and engineers (her father Thomas founded the firm which eventually became Vosper Thornycroft, virtually the last surviving British shipbuilders).
Old Mrs Sassoon rushed straight to the synagogue to curse any children that might be born of this unholy union. She even declared her son officially dead, saying the funeral prayers for him and sitting the official period of mourning. These tactics proved quite effective. Alfred, an idler interested mostly in cricket and the violin, soon wearied of his devout and down-to-earth wife and drifted off to a studio in Pembroke Gardens with a shadowy mistress, before succumbing to galloping consumption in Eastbourne at the age of 34, leaving Theresa with three sons to bring up.
The middle one, Siegfried, was to remain abnormally dependent on her for the rest of her long life. For his own first 40 years he had no permanent home other than Weirleigh, a hideous high-gabled house on the Kentish Weald. Until the war came - and he was already 28 - he had no occupation to speak of.
After dropping out of Cambridge, he led a life of more strenuous sloth than his father, foxhunting in the winter, playing cricket through the summer, and concentrating on golf in the spring and autumn, lodging mostly with hearty friends who, in his own view, satisfied the sturdy Thornycroft half of his nature while his sensitive "oriental" half was nourished by the poet's life that his mother had mapped out for him.
Wilson underplays Sassoon's sporting skills. He won several steeplechases. He was a high-class club all-rounder at cricket. At golf, Wilson describes him as a "reasonably good player", but his handicap of six makes him superior to other obsessive literary golfers such as PG Wodehouse and Ian Fleming, and only a little inferior to Malcolm Lowry and Patrick Hamilton, who were golfers as well as drinkers of championship class.
This devotion to sport went with a declared aversion to women and, at this stage, to sex in any form. He told Carpenter in 1911 that he was "still unspotted", and so he seems to have remained until after the war, when he began to make up for lost time. Yet he always had a certain naivety about this side of life as about others and continued to regard his sexuality as something of a burden - "trouble down there", as he would say.
Certainly, the enthusiasm with which he joined up in 1914 was largely indistinguishable from Rupert Brooke's "swimmers into cleanness leaping", and just as naive. In Absolution he wrote:
War is our scourge; yet war has made us wise,
And fighting for our freedom, we are free...
We are the happy legion, for we know
Time's but a golden wind that shakes the grass.
Because of a riding accident and a change of regiment it was some time before he saw action and he maintained his happy warrior outlook for at least 18 months. He was in the army from the day war broke out to the day it ended but, Wilson points out, he spent in total barely a month in the front line - though he saw some of the fiercest fighting and probably deserved a bar to his MC.
War seemed to sharpen his reflexes. He developed an adoration for his men and admired their cheerful stoicism as much as their shining faces and white bodies - although, as Wilson reminds us, he was never to take a working-class lover. His powers of observation seemed to sharpen, too. Some of the descriptions in his war diaries are among the best things he ever wrote:
As I sit in the sun in a nook among the sandbags and chalky debris, with shells flying overhead in the blue air, a lark sings high up, and a little weasel comes and runs past me within a foot of my outstretched foot, looking at me with tiny bright eyes. Bullets sing and whistle and hum; so do bits of shell; rifles crack; some small guns and trench-mortars pop and thud; big shells burst with a massive explosion, and the voluminous echoes roll along the valleys, to fade nobly and without haste or consternation.
This passage, like many in his diaries, is reproduced with little alteration in the fictional memoirs. Several such passages - turned into verse with minimal changes - also find their way into some of his most memorable war poems, such as Died of Wounds. In the same way, the daily experience of stumbling along trenches and treading on corpses - and the deaths of his younger brother Hamo at Gallipoli and his beloved "poor Tommy", his fellow Welch Fusilier David Thomas - nourished his Homeric rage, which, in a uniquely Sassoonian way, led him to take the whole burden of war on himself as a kind of cosmic personal insult:
I want to smash someone's skull; I want to have a scrap and get out of the war for a bit or for ever. Sitting in a trench waiting for a rifle grenade isn't fighting: war is clambering out of the top trench at 3 o'clock in the morning with a lot of rum-drugged soldiers who don't know where they are going - half of them to be blasted with machine-guns at point-blank range - trying to get over the wire which our artillery have failed to destroy. I can't get my own back for Hamo and Tommy that way. While I am really angry with the enemy, as I am lately, I must work it off, as these things don't last long with me as a rule. If I get shot it will be rotten for some people at home, but I am bound to get it in the neck sometime, so why not make a creditable show, and let people see that poets can fight as well as anybody else? And death is the best adventure of all.
This was how the legend of "mad Jack" was born. He claimed that he thoroughly enjoyed crawling into no-man's-land, bombing Germans out of their trenches and craters and lugging home injured comrades. And it was that rage, too, that gave the biting edge to his best war poems, an edge which has not gone blunt in poems such as Blighters, The One-Legged Man, Base Details and The General. This summer, I found it greatly moving to hear him reading in that unobtrusive voice Died of Wounds, on a recording retrieved from the British Library archive:
The ward grew dark; but he was still complaining
And calling out for 'Dickie'. 'Curse the wood!
It's time to go, O Christ, and what's the good?
We'll never take it, and it's always raining.'
His protest against the war was egged on by the new pacifist friends he had made on his excursions to Garsington - notably Bertrand Russell and the Morrells, not to mention Robbie Ross, as loyal and wise a friend to Sassoon as he had been to Oscar Wilde. But he made it in his own way, and when he had made it, he characteristically refused to pursue it in the way they wanted, by doing "something else outrageous", to use Lady Ottoline's phrase.
On the contrary, with apparent meekness he agreed to be classified as unfit and sent to Craiglockhart hospital, where he had his famous meetings with Owen and with the man who was to be his new guru, the psychiatrist WHR Rivers. Wilson describes Rivers as having persuaded Sassoon to return to the fighting. I wonder how much persuading he needed. When he was sent to Egypt, where there was much less chance of being killed, he badgered Marsh and others to get him sent back to France. Back in the front line, he resumed his nightly forays with the same heedless ferocity, until he was finally sent home with a head wound in July 1918.
What remains so impressive is not simply his courage but his determination to play things his own way. In war this may be glorious; in peace it was to be a more ambiguous quality. After the Armistice he became for a time an enthusiastic socialist. His most famous poem, Everyone Sang, which he claimed had just floated into his head as though from nowhere, was not just about the end of the war but about the social revolution he believed to be at hand in 1919, which as Wilson points out might have made the poem rather less popular if it had been generally known. He worked for George Lansbury's Daily Herald and went to speak at Blackburn on behalf of Philip Snowden.
These political enthusiasms soon began to fade, and by the time he had inherited money - when his Aunt Rachel eventually died of the syphilis her husband had passed on to her - and had married Hester Gatty, who herself had a considerable private income, he embarked on the purchase of Heytesbury House with its 17 bedrooms, for which he found he needed no fewer than 17 servants.
He treated Hester in much the same manner as he had treated his string of male lovers, beginning to complain of their shortcomings almost before he had finished hymning the raptures of true love which he claimed to be experiencing for the first time. He abruptly dismissed her from the house when her demands for attention began to impinge on him, although he never lost touch with her, or bothered to divorce her. He had his ups and downs, too, with his son George, whose wife, he complained, was too humbly born (the snobbish streak was always near the surface), later saying that on the contrary he was not worthy of her. At the same time, he remained as generous as he always had been, handing out large sums at unpredictable moments (for example, to his old wartime friend Robert Graves, but only after they had ceased to be real friends).
Sassoon was a great self-fashioner. He was also intensely self-aware, open-hearted (though capable of mean-spiritedness), restless, prickly, brave, idealistic, never content, eternally tussling with what he himself liked to identify as his contradictions, born of his double nature. (To the end of his life he liked to be known in the village as Captain Sassoon.)
Some of these qualities he came to attribute to the Jewish half of his ancestry. Yet for the most part this was something he seemed only intermittently aware of, talking in an offhand way of his "oriental" side. Many people, including my father, who thought they knew him (or indeed other Sassoons) tolerably well continued to believe that they were Parsees and would occasionally refer to their supposed belief in reincarnation or their habit of roasting their widows. Sassoon seems to have been negligent about correcting this error. The same was less true of his cousin Philip Sassoon, although he, too, was ambivalent about his (full) Jewishness.
It may seem odd that the two second cousins never really got to know one another. Philip was only two years younger than Siegfried. They were both essentially homosexual, they shared a passionate interest in the arts (except in literature, where Philip was something of a middlebrow, having a weakness for the company of popular female novelists), and they had many friends in common: the Sitwells, Lord Berners, Rex Whistler, TE Lawrence. Yet they didn't meet until they were approaching their 40s, and no friendship came of it. Partly this was because they were both conscious of Alfred's excommunication from the family, which had relegated Siegfried to the ranks of the (relatively) "poor Sassoons" until his Aunt Rachel's death. Partly it was because of politics.
From the age of 24 until his death aged 51 in 1939, Philip was Conservative MP for Hythe, a seat he inherited from his father along with his baronetcy and a huge fortune. From 1915 until 1919 he was private secretary in France to the commander-in-chief, Sir Douglas Haig, and thus belonged with Siegfried's "scarlet majors at the base" (the scarlet referring to the red tabs of the general staff as much as to the colour of their faces), though he was anything but "fierce and bald and short of breath", being slender, elegant and exaggeratedly polite.
Other members of the Georgian establishment might acclaim Siegfried as the voice of his generation - as early as 1918, the Asquiths had him to lunch, despite his recent protest against the war; Winston Churchill went around reciting his war poems and even tried to reconvert him to militarism - but Philip, intensely hospitable though he was, made no overtures and went on pretending that their kinship was rather distant.
The one time they met properly, at dinner with Osbert Sitwell, Philip told Sitwell how bad The Old Huntsman was, while Siegfried told him how jealous Philip was of his literary fame. During the general strike, Siegfried enjoyed contemplating the possibility that the strikers might burn down Philip's enormous house in Park Lane, although typically he turned against the idea when it occurred to him that they might then go on to incinerate his beloved Reform Club.
Peter Stansky has written a double biography of Philip and his sister Sybil, who married the Marquess of Cholmondeley and brought her own great art collection to fill a few of the gaps at his house at Houghton left by the sale of Sir Robert Walpole's collection to Catherine the Great. It is a beguiling book, superbly illustrated but handicapped by a shortage of first-rate sources. Philip was a prolific letter-writer, but he wrote, often in his official capacities, to amuse, flatter and appease, not to reveal much about himself. As a Tory MP, he remained utterly discreet about his personal attachments. Stansky can tell us little more than that he became very fond of the young airmen who piloted him as Under-Secretary for Air and once bought the boots of a particular favourite who had been killed in a flying accident.
As a politician, Sassoon was conscientious in the extreme but not much of a speaker. His fluting, foreign-sounding cadences did not go down well. He entertained PM after PM at his two country palaces, Trent Park in Hertfordshire and Port Lympne in Kent (recently famous again as the site of the perilous zoo run by the late John Aspinall, the grand croupier). But promotion never came. His natural melancholy deepened, relieved only by the affection and charm of his sister Sybil, who was more fulfilled in bringing up a family and restoring Houghton to its former splendour. Stansky does his best to convince us of Philip's political importance but succeeds only in persuading us of his good-heartedness and generosity.
Where Philip does remain memorable is as a figure in the history of taste. Port Lympne, in its dramatic setting overlooking the Channel, can be seen as a landmark in the evolution of the postmodern. Philip originally commissioned Sir Herbert Baker to build an H-shaped house in the Dutch Colonial style. Soon, Elizabethan balustrades were added, later its most memorable feature, a grand triumphal Trojan staircase of Mussolini or Cecil B De Mille proportions, from the top of which you could see France on a clear day. Inside, there was a Moorish courtyard, marble everywhere and extravagant murals by José María Sert, "the Tiepolo of the Ritz".
Philip was fully aware of the high camp nature of the whole enterprise and said of one particularly ghastly bathroom panelled in brown and black zigzags of marble, "It takes you by the throat and shakes you." He delighted in monstrous armies of blue delphiniums, and sickening swirls of herbaceous borders. He was delighted, too, when he heard a guide telling a party of visitors, "It's all in the old-world style but every bit of it sham."
Into this architectural and horticultural farrago he enticed an endless procession of celebrities: Charlie Chaplin, Louis Mountbatten, the boxer Georges Carpentier, Wallis Simpson, Haig, Lytton Strachey, Churchill, Neville Chamberlain, Noël Coward, TE Lawrence, who signed the visitors' book "338171 A/C Shaw" (though it was not at Port Lympne but in a letter that Coward asked him: "May I call you 338?"). The glimmerings of modern celebrity culture were first seen at Port Lympne. Almost everyone who met Philip Sassoon here or elsewhere described him as strange, unknowable and, ah, oriental - except for Virginia Woolf, who characteristically called him "an underbred Whitechapel Jew". To bring out the anti-semitism of the English haute bourgeoisie, all you needed to do was ask them for the weekend.
In his opening chapters I began to think that Peter Stansky was making too much of his subject's awkward position as an outsider in British life. He had, after all, swanned through Eton and Christ Church and into the House of Commons by way of the general staff. By the end I thought that Stansky was right and that there was something very isolated about the slender figure standing at the top of those enormous steps looking out to France. Perhaps he should have got to know his cousin better.

A few days ago Cardinal Meisner was speculating that it would be good for a man as young as 45 to be Pope. The youngest Cardinal happens to be 55 and formerly an Auxiliary Bishop in the Cardinal's Archdiocese of Cologne. Step forward Cardinal Woelki (55), seen above at his introduction to the See of Berlin, at which none other than Cardinal Meisner preached. Cardinal Marx of Munich is also to be seen concelebrating. It is not too much a leap to see the hand of Cardinal Meisner in the early promotion and indeed the red hat for Cardinal Woelki.
In the sermon, Cardinal Meisner talks about "spiritual solidarity" and "our Archbishop Rainer" in the sermon, but most tellingly in a passage about maintaining communications between Berlin and Cologne, the Cardinal says, "Berlin is worth a journey", a play on the old phrase, "Rome is worth the journey".
Given the known closeness of the Pope Emeritus and Cardinal Meisner, it is not impossible that Cardinal Woelki is, at least, one of the preferred candidates of the Pope Emeritus. The Pope Emeritus, given the grounds for his renunciation would put a premium on youth and vigour. Unfortunately, despite the Mass above, Cardinal Woelki appears to be a liberal dressed in conservative clothing, a type which have brought the Church low since the Council. See especially the equation of homosexual and heterosexual relationships, provided they are loving. See also here.
A long Papacy by Cardinal Woelki would have, from the viewpoint of the Pope Emeritus, the advantage of establishing the reception of Vatican II by the Church, to which he has such a deep emotional commitment as he was there. Indeed, he was responsible for much of the mischief, as a speech he wrote for Cardinal Frings was a turning point of the Council, breaking the power of the Curia. The Pope has even gone as far to use the acceptance of this single Council, over against all the others, as a litmus test of orthodoxy in his dealings with the SSPX.
Circumstantial evidence for this is provided also by the timing. Another few months and Cardinal Meisner would no longer be a Cardinal Elector and would have diminishing influence on a future Conclave with every month that passed, especially if he himself departs from Cologne.
One thing for sure, Cardinal Woelki is not going to be Cardinal Bertone's candidate after Cardinal Meisner's recent outburst in which he declared that he begged the Pope to sack Cardinal Bertone.
If this comes to pass, the Rhine will indeed have flowed into the Tiber and will do so for a very long time to come. Indeed, dear God protect your Church if you want to make Cardinal Meisner's candidate Pope

In eukaryotes, DNA exists in the cell nucleus, while in prokaryotes; DNA is located in the cytoplasm. In living organisms, DNA does not usually exist as a single molecule, but instead as a tightly associated pair of molecules in the shape of a right-handed double helix. Hydrogen bonds as well as forces generated by the hydrophobic effect and pi stacking hold the two DNA strands together. During replication and transcription, portions of the helix unwind and become single stranded. Protective proteins surround these single-stranded DNA. Double stranded (ds) DNA markers are useful tools in biology research and aid in the study of DNA behavior and characteristics.

After Kevin and I became engaged and I started wedding planning, I had the startling revelation (like many brides before me) that weddings are...expensive. Big surprise there, right? Whether you're planning a wedding or not, most of us know that the average wedding isn't cheap, and even the smallest elements of your day can cost you a pretty penny if you aren't careful. When I started budgeting out our wedding, I knew right away what things I wanted to spend money on and what things I didn't. One thing that I didn't want to splurge on were flowers. Don't get me wrong, fresh flower bouquets are gorgeous....but they also cost a LOT of money, and as I mentioned in previous posts I felt like putting most of our budget toward the venue and band instead.
After deciding not to use fresh flowers, there was only one other option I considered: fabric flowers. Now there are many ways to assemble fabric flowers, but most normal, sane people head to their local craft store, buy some fabric flowers, stick 'em to a bouquet base and BAM you're done! But since I'm crafty and overly ambitious, I decided to make my fabric flowers by hand. Each and every one. And not just for the bouquets, but for the boutonnieres and wrist corsages as well. Since I knew this was a tall order, I started making flowers two months after we were engaged so I would have ten whole months to get 'em done, and by golly it only took me four!
I first started making the flowers out of scrap fabric that I had around the house, but eventually went to JoAnn's and found another sheer synthetic fabric that was similar for the rest. Each flower was made using the same technique used here, except I decided not to snip the petals into four different sections. The center of each flower was either hand-beaded or decorated with some vintage buttons found here on Etsy. After all the flowers were made I had to figure out how to make them into bouquets. That's when I stumbled upon this tutorial where the bride made hers using a wire whisk. Brilliant! I went to Walmart and bought a bunch of $1 whisks, bent them into a round shape and spraypainted them the same color of the flowers so the shiny metal couldn't peek through.
I stuffed the inside of each whisk with some cheesecloth (which is super lightweight), which you can find at your local Target or fabric store. To attach the flowers to the whisk, I hot glued small metal alligator clips (found here) to the back of each one and simply clipped them onto the whisk. This was handy in many ways- not only did it allow me to move the flowers around until I got the arrangement I liked, but it also allows each bridesmaid to take the flowers off the bouquet and use them for something else if she chooses. Each handle was wrapped in felt, wrapped again in twine, and finished off with some scraps of lace.
I felt so accomplished once the bouquets were done, but I wasn't done yet! I also created boutonnieres for the guys: 5 for the groomsmen, a navy blue one for my groom to match my bouquet, two for the dads and one for my grandpa.
These were made with smaller versions of the same flowers and were attached to a simple cardboard leaf cut-out. Since I had some green fabric left over from my fabric-dying classes in college, I used it to cut out some random leaf shapes which were attached to the cardboard backing with hot glue, topped off by the flower. I then took a wood skewer, wrapped that in twine, and attached it to the back with hot glue as well. (As you can tell I used a hot glue gun a lot for this stuff, and I have the burns to prove it!) I also attached a pin to the back to make the pinning process easier on the guys.
Now on to the wrist corsages for the moms and grandmas!
These followed the same assembly concept as the boutonnieres, except the leaves and flowers were attached to some pre-made corsage wristlets bought at Hobby Lobby that look something like this. The metal base of the wristlet was big enough where I could just hot glue the leaves and flowers directly onto it, which made it super easy.
And there you have it! For any other brides interested in making fabric flowers for their wedding, if you have the time and patience to do it I say go for it! I personally think they'll make a big visual statement at the wedding, and I love the fact that the people who receive them can keep them as keepsakes for years to come. After all, this day only happens once- why not create some mementos that can remind you of it?
*POST UPDATE*Now that Kevin and I are all married and got our photos back from our photographer, I figured I would include the professional photos of my fabric bouquets and boutonnieres in addition to my previously posted amateur ones. Enjoy!

Hello, your friendly community creator here!
I don't work for Lush anymore, just over Christmas and Summer as I'm at Uni.
Does anyone want to take over this comm? I've never really put much effort into it and it could do with someone a little more affectionate taking the reigns ;)

While it's usually the florets of broccoli that get all the attention, a number of Chowhounds are mad about broccoli stems, which, notes scubaadoo97, are the sweetest part. The florets and stems are almost two different vegetables, says tmso. "I think I like the stalks better. When serving them, I've had guests ask what that wonderful vegetable was."
scuzzo thinks broccoli stems are "gold," and peels and eats them raw. ipsedixit juliennes raw stems and adds them to salads for a nice crunch, but notes that "99 percent of the people think that you're serving some sort of 'artisan' cucumber." And oryza and gwendolynmarie have both pickled broccoli stems.
tmso's favorite way to serve broccoli stems is poached and tossed with brown butter. toodie jane slices peeled stems in thick chunks and sautés them quickly with celery, then serves them sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. It's a good flavor combination, she says.
Sam Fujisaka serves cold steamed broccoli stems with a miso-lemon drizzle or dip. almccasland cuts the stems into chunks and grills them. gwendolynmarie recommends tossing broccoli stems with garlic, red chile flakes, cumin, and a bit of toasted sesame oil and then roasting them; she also says that if they're steamed quite well and trimmed, their inner core is so soft and silky that it can be mashed to be eaten alone or made into a dip.

Neptune Investment Management has appointed Stewart Cowley to work both as a fixed income consultant and to help develop the firm's planned private wealth business.
Cowley will advise chief executive Robin Geffen and chief economist and CIO James Dowey on the fixed income portion of the Neptune Balanced fund.
Cowley most recently worked at Old Mutual Global Investors where he managed the global strategic bond fund and the Old Mutual Managed Fund.
He left in 2015 to start an investment advisory business, Northfield Strategic Advisors.
Over his 30-year career he has also held senior executive positions at Invesco, Hill Samuel Asset Management and Newton Investment Management.
Geffen says Cowley brings "knowledge of the industry and deep understanding of fixed income markets".
"Over the past several years Neptune has invested in experienced professionals with proven industry experience and rigorous financial training," Geffen says.
Cowley says: "There has never been a more important or harder time than now to correctly blend the messages coming out of the asset markets into client portfolios."
He will sit on the investment committee for the new wealth management business, which Neptune announced last month.
It has hired Matthew Butcher from Brewin Dolphin to launch a new discretionary service aimed at building relationships with IFAs and targeting high-net-worth individuals.
Butcher, who joined as head of client proposition from Brewin Dolphin, is working with deputy managing director Richard Green to finalise the structure of the business.

Friday night on C2C a UFO investigator called in to report a case he is investigating. This was the most unusual report on the ETs that our government is involved with that I have ever heard. I want you all to see this so I am trying to type it off of Real Player.
Jason in Annapolis, MD
He received a letter and he is investigating this case. He reads verbatim from it. The letter is from an ex military person retired, Air force:
"The first of my experiences was this, I was standing inside of a B-17 Hangar. One craft flew in through the doors; it was about 40' in diameter. It was twenty feet from me. A door opened in the side of the thing - an internal opening to the left - to the right of the door like deep blasted were the letters USAF.
When the craft settled to the ground a being about 5' emerged, he was sickly pale. He had the appearance somewhat of the Grays you see in Sci Fi movies. He was not gray nor were the twenty or so I saw that year, he was just pale sickly white like people that never get into the sunlight.
They all stink like rotten meat. I don't think their heads are much bigger than ours but their bodies are so small that their heads look twice the size. They do have tiny jaws and large eyes. The first one was looking around, he stuck a finger up on his hand and stuck it into the corner of his right eye. Then he popped the lens out that covered the eye and then removed the other so the large ovoid kind of eye was a type of sunglasses. He looked around and saw me, he smiled and looked like he was embarrassed. His eyes were a very light blue like a Husky dogs, and perhaps twice the size of a mans.
Another being came out with a metal box in his hand. He opened it and what looked like raw meat was in it and he ate it.
Neither seemed concerned about me. The wind shifted outside the hangar. Now I could smell them. What I smelled wasn't nice, these guys smelled like rotten meat. These I believe to be demons. All of them have rotten meat odor,"they are not aliens."
They speak as though they are controlling something. When the first being spoke to me it was in a baritone voice like mine. I saw this guy several time and he always spoke to me. He told me that they were not concerned about me because in my sensitive position I would not be believed.
All of the craft I saw were 40 to 60 feet disc shape and were the same as I described above.
There were two guys I met from the Weather Rocket Saunday (?) Unit. They had some neat toys. We drank a few beers and got restless and decided to walk over to the B-17 Hangar.
This was a 3 hour hike. We arrived and saw 3 UFOs inside when we got there. I don't know if either of the guys remembered the next day because they wouldn't speak to me after that, neither of them, it was if they had never known me.
For the next 3 months I was by myself, walking the island and seeing these discs. I saw some men come out of several. All just regular men. On one occasion I spoke to one. He described the craft and said these other pilots were demons. He said our government was working on a treaty with them.
Now he actually invited me to look inside. All I saw was chrome walls and two chrome seats. I asked how they flew and he said magnetic propulsion and it was an invention of Nicoli Tesla.
I became frightened as one more disc came and settled down and two demons told me I could not remember anything I pretended to forget. I thought about a white light. They tossed me into a stack of pallets. When I awoke I was late for work and did not remember how I got there. I saw a MP truck headed my way and caught a ride with them to work."
George asked when he could talk to him again and he asked when would you like to talk to me again? George said they wanted to keep up to date with him. He said he would actually like to find some military men that had been on this air base so he gave where it was off the air so they could pursue finding someone to corroborate the story.
Very interesting case!

Well, I don't listen to C2C anymore since 77 WABC in NYC has stopped carrying it and I haven't bothered to check it out on the web, etc. That sounds really terrible and, anyway you slice it, I think they are missing the facts that Harold Camping is telling us from his very deep study of the Bible, i.e. that the world will END next year in 2011 making everything else therefore moot. www.familyradio.com.

I might as well have joined Tour de Fleece officially, because there has been a lot of spinning happening this month.
"Mud Season" from Spunky Club's March fiber
100% merino wool, 4 oz.
fingering weight, approx. 470 yards
This was a long project, after I finished the first 2 oz I took a break from it for awhile. But as I got used to the fiber, and my spinning improved, I got a bit faster and the second half flew by. Spinning merino gives a very satisfying result – a soft, bouncy, squishy skein of yarn. The colors in this go so well together. Right now I'm thinking it will be the Palette scarf from Knitty.
"Franny" from A Verb for Keeping Warm
100% Bluefaced Leicester, 2 oz.
DK weight, unknown yardage
After hoarding AVFKW roving for months, I finally pulled some out to spin. I think this was my first time spinning BFL…I can't believe I waited this long! It drafts wonderfully, it's got a little crimp, and a little sheen, and it plies all bouncy and gorgeous. I love it. See?
Oh, and the red-orange-salmon colors of this naturally dyed fiber spun up so gorgeous too. It's going to be even harder to resist buying more roving from her now.
Finally, in an effort to fill up my already-scarce free time even more, I've started dyeing fiber. Nuttnbunny tipped me off to a Fiber Swap Club on Ravelry. The swap lasts for three months; we were put into groups of four, and each month we send 4 oz. of fiber to one other person in the group. I joined and have used it as an excuse to start dyeing, which is something I've been wanting to try for awhile. I just mailed my first swap package yesterday, so I can show what's inside of it yet (lest I ruin the element of surprise), but here are some dye experiments on alpaca.
2 oz. of combed alpaca top, kettle dyed
I call this one "Northern Lights".
1 oz. of combed alpaca top, handpainted & steamed
The colors in this got a little more blended than I intended, but that's why it's an "experiment". I think I should have steamed it in something a little flatter – I used a cheap colander that I bought at Salvation Army, but I think a lot of the dye pooled down and mixed. Luckily the colors blend well. I spun this up the other night to see what it looks like. The mini-skein is drying now. More details soon!
My alpaca top is some natural gray fiber I bought at Piedmont Yarn. It's called "Handspinner's Dream" from Alpaca With a Twist. It's really lovely stuff, and it comes in a whole range of natural alpaca fleece colors. It takes the color wonderfully…and it is making me seriously consider doing something crazy like adopting an alpaca.

Eve challenged her readers to think of Christian films and atheist films for hypothetical film festivals. Apparently, it's been easier for her readers to think of atheist films than Christian ones.
For the purpose of this post, she's talking about films that represent those worldviews, not necessarily films made by Christians or atheists.
Christian films
The Trial of Joan of Arc (d. Robert Bresson) - Not just because the subject is Joan, but because Bresson is focused on the suffering and humility of Joan, even her very human weaknesses, and her faith enables her to endure and transfigure those elements of her life. That transfiguration is the miracle we see in the film, not some fantastic magic trick (which is how film usually defines them).
Love Exposure (d. Shion Sono) - Actually, this film can probably be interpreted multiple ways. And while there is a fair amount anti-religious material here, it's notable that the worst behavior is of people who turn religion to their purposes. The hypocrites and those without humility are those that cause the most suffering, and it is love (both secular & religious) that gives the male protagonist the strength to struggle on against a world that is turned against him. It's also about the way that outcasts can find fellowship & express Christian brotherhood for each other. I'd love to see Eve's reaction to all the complex & weird ideas about religion, love, gender & sexual orientation that overflow this film.
Terri (d. Azazel Jacobs) - This film, focusing on an intelligent, perceptive but troubled boy & his attempts to reach out to the world, deals with the injustice and pain of engaging with a flawed world and the broken, foolish people who inhabit it. Despite all the heartache and pain that engagement brings, the movie shows us the need to reach out to our fellow sufferers and sinners, since only that outreach can shape our suffering and pain into something better.
That's all that I can think of, off the top of my head, at the moment. But there are two relatively recent films and one older film that promote a Christian humanist worldview, to balance out all those despairing films Tushnet & her readers have thought of so far.

Dog Milk Replacement
There are many reasons why you would have to bottle feed puppies. It could be that the mother dog is not displaying any maternal instincts and neglecting her offspring or you could have just found a stray puppy in the street. Whatever your reasons are, you must ensure your puppy have the right start with proper nutrition. Without proper nutrition, your puppy might not be able to grow up strong and healthy.
Here at Nekojam, we carry a few brands of puppy milk replacement that you can choose from. One popular choice is PetAg: Esbilac Puppy Milk Replacement Powder which was formulated to provide a caloric pattern similar to a mom's milk in protein, fat and carbohydrates.
If you have a puppy that is very young of only a few days, we highly recommend APP: Immune Therapeutic Pet Colostrum. The main ingredient in this product is Colostrum, the immunity booster that the mom will provide to her puppies right at birth in replacement of milk. Without it, puppies will not have the antibodies to fend from diseases and chances of survival might be drastically reduced. You can read more about Colostrum here.

As we pointed out on Twitter, it has been weeks since many of the Real Housewives of Atlanta have written their Bravo Blogs (besides Kenya Moore). But the day Apollo Nida surrendered himself to the federal government on charges ranging from bank fraud to identity theft, Phaedra Parks posted a Blog on Bravo's website discussing her hopes for 2014.
Phaedra writes, "Happy New Year! Last year was awesome and I know 2014 will be even more spectacular. As always, my life has been moving at meteorite speed. Between my family, work, and social commitments, the little free time I have is devoted to some much needed sleep. Every New Year, many of us reflect and resolve to do better and more than the prior year. In 2014, I aspire to be a better mother, wife, friend, and servant to my community.
Now that I have finally finished mortuary school, I have been touring my book and meeting many loyal supporters. Having the opportunity to personally speak with supporters has been incredibly rewarding. With each story and introduction my life is enriched.
Please remember that everything is not for everybody; so instead of focusing on what others are doing, pour your energy into being the absolute best YOU. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr, "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.""

NATO likely to scale back instructor deployments to Iraq
Fewer NATO trainers will be assisting the Iraqi army than originally planned:
[NATO top operational commander U.S. Gen. James L. Jones] insisted the cuts were not due to NATO's difficulties in mustering troops for the mission, saying instead that Iraq's fledgling forces had proved more capable of training their own recruits.
"We're discovering, from the training aspect of things, that the Iraqis have quite a bit of capacity to do that themselves," Jones told reporters. "What the NATO mission can do is obviously take advantage of that and incorporate it into our overall scheme."
Jones said the current target was to raise the about 100 NATO soldiers presently in Iraq to 159. Last month, the alliance said it wanted to put 300 instructors and support staff on the ground at the start of this year. A final decision will be taken by ambassadors from the 26 member nations.
So that means that they have only sent about a third of the originally-planned number of trainers, and then cut that number by nearly half. But it's not due to NATO's inability to provide the trainers, it's due to the Iraqi Army's ability to train its own troops.
We've seen how the Iraqi troops perform. With a few notable exceptions, they have been 'poor' to 'bad' so far. Not too surprising, really, considering the chaos in Iraq and the pressure those folks are under. But they've got a long way to go.
Recall that the US military is considering INCREASING the presense of US trainers and advisors in the Iraqi Army. But NATO thinks that there are too many trainers already.
NATO has been struggling to persuade governments to commit extra troops to both its missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Iraq, the problem has been compounded by the refusal of France, Germany and other nations that opposed the U.S. led war to send instructors.
If NATO is having trouble raising the troops, fair enough. We knew this would be an issue. But why try to sugar-coat it and cover for shortcomings if they are? Spell it out.
Without a trained, capable Iraqi army that can keep order and shoulder the bulk of the load (which would free US troops to go more offensive and not sit around waiting for the next IED or mortar attack) the new government is going to have rough going. And it's going to be rough enough the way it is. (via Rantburg, which I finally got around to adding to my link list)
