One of the legendary items that belonged to the world's most famous magician, Harry Houdini, will soon become the property of the highest bidder at the Houdini Auction on April 8 2017, hosted by the respected auction house of Potter & Potter - The Royal Crown Brooch.
This rare and historic emerald and ruby encrusted crown, which according to Beatrice "Bessie" Houdini, was presented to Harry by the Czar of Russia at a dinner party in their honor, will be making is first appearance before the general public in decades.
Since the Pharaohs of Egypt to ancient Greece and Rome, through the Middle Ages, historical records tell of masters of trickery and illusion becoming powerful influences in politics. However, none have been as famous as the great Harry Houdini. Houdini's access to heads of state and power players on his frequent trips to Europe and special abilities, like subterfuge and sleight of hand, made him an ideal candidate for first person royal and political voyeurism.
According to story's Bess Houdini shared with dear friend Geri Larsen, Harry Houdini performed his astonishing illusions and escapes for Czar Nicholas and his wife, Tsarina Alexandra, during his tour of Russia in the spring and summer of 1903. Harry was so phenomenally successful that they actually believed he had magical powers. So much so, that they invited him to stay at court and become their spiritual adviser - A position Houdini declined and would later be given to a notoriously faux spiritualist named Rasputin. Harry and his wife Bess remained stars of the Czar's court, until they fell afoul of the leader because of a single glass of wine, when the Emperor conceived Houdini's failure to drink during a toast as an insult. In reality, Houdini simply did not indulge in alcohol.
Among the items they retained was The Royal Crown, which Mrs. Houdini made into a brooch and presented it to close friend, and the first woman to host her own televised magic show (KTLA 1949), Geraldine Larsen. Together they had formed The Magigals, the world's first organization devoted to women magicians.
Geraldine and her husband William Larsen Sr., an attorney who handled Mrs Houdini's legal affairs until her passing in 1942, would later become the renowned Larsen Family of Magicians. Their sons Milt & Bill Larsen Jr. created the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood and founded The Academy of Magical Arts club for magicians. Milt's wife, Arlene, said her mother-in-law told her that Bessie Houdini said the brooch could also be used as a pendent and has a small hook where she believed, a small miniature portrait of the Czar in a diamond-encrusted frame once hung.
Until now, the Houdini Brooch has only been seen at very special occasions for the magical community and has been in the possession of members of the two very magical family's The Houdini's and The Larsens.
The decision to part with this remarkable piece of history was to raise money that will be invested in a new venue - a smaller version of its predecessor, The Magic Castle, called "Magic Castle Cabaret." The goal is the same as the original, which has featured the most iconic names in entertainment, to promote and support excellence in the art of illusion as a private club for magicians and their fans. The new location will be in Montecito California by the Santa Barbara bird sanctuary lake only 2 blocks from the ocean. Although the 4000 sq foot facility has been known to locals as the "Cafe Del Sole" restaurant for 25 years, the "Magic Castle Cabaret" will not offer a restaurant, but will include a lite menu at the Magic Bar, as well as walk around magicians and a small 50 seat theatre for close up magic and charming variety shows of one or more performers.
For more information, or to request an interview with Arlene Larsen, please contact B. Harlan Boll, the publicist for Magic Castle, Inc and the Larsen family.

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Rupert Murdoch's Star TV has won the bid to broadcast Indian cricket for six years for a fee of around $757.6 million, officials said on Monday.
The rights, which include television, internet and mobile broadcasting, will be for July 2012 to March 2018 and cover all home international matches and domestic tournaments but not the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Star TV will pay about 400 million rupees (about $7.9 million) on average for each match, compared with the 322.5 million rupees (about $6.3 million) paid by previous rights holders Nimbus.
"This is a substantial improvement and the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) is very happy the media rights have been fully evaluated and now I think fully priced," BCCI president N. Srinivasan told reporters in Chennai.
"Bids were submitted by Star and Multi Screen Media (MSM) and after following a transparent process of verifying the eligibility of each bidder, bids were opened in front of both the parties and the winner chosen."
The BCCI terminated its deal with Nimbus in December, three years before it was due to expire, over payment defaults.
MSM has the broadcast rights for the annual Twenty20 IPL.
"Star India will work collaboratively with ESPN-Star Sports to exploit the rights," said Star India chief executive Uday Shankar.
"Right now we have three sports channels - Star Sports, ESPN and Star Cricket - to broadcast the cricket on. However if required we could explore the launch of new channels."
ESPN-STAR Sports is a joint venture between Walt Disney and media mogul Murdoch's News Corporation and owns the rights to International Cricket Council tournaments.

PENTEWAN, England — Anyone looking down on Cornwall from a great height would see a deep, lush green quilt speckled here and there with patchworks in shimmering colors along its southern sea coasts.
The colored bits are some of the largest and most impressive gardens to be found in the British Isles. Sitting at the southwest tip of the mainland and washed by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, Cornwall has the most temperate climate of any part of the country--palm trees and other tropical and subtropical plants abound here--and that has made it a garden lover's paradise.

Is there a more awesome car being made in America right now than the Ford GT?
Fresh off winning (and finishing third) the overall GT class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford is keeping the celebration going by celebrating another Le Mans winner. The blue oval recently revealed the 2017 Ford GT '66 Heritage Edition that pays tribute to the GT40 Mark II driven to victory at Le Mans in 1966 by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon.
The Heritage Edition features the black and silver stripe livery of the original as well as the Number 2 racing number on the hood and door. The one-piece aluminum wheels are finished in an incredible-looking gold clearcoat that adds a sleek pop of color.
On the interior, the carbon fiber seats are wrapped in black leather, as is the instrument panel. Even the steering wheel is sheathed in leather, just like the car from '66.
Ford did not release any pricing info and announced that the car would only be available in 2017. Considering Ford made would-be buyers fill out an extensive application just for the opportunity to throw down hundreds of thousands of dollars for the GT, we're guessing getting your hands on one of these will be even more challenging. Perhaps you'll need to give up your first born.

GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) -- The 2,800-member First Baptist Church is considering accepting new members without baptism by immersion, which could mean ouster from the local Baptist association.
Three other South Carolina Baptist congregations that dropped the immersion rule have been dismissed from local associations.
Baptists traditionally require transferring members to undergo full immersion if their former churches practiced other forms of baptism. Under the proposed change, First Baptist would grant full membership to transfers while requiring immersion only for those undergoing first-time baptisms.
Baptism ''is not a prerequisite of salvation,'' said the church's minister for pastoral care, Donna Forrester, ''so what's most important is the faith response.''
Greenville Baptist Association official Ron Davis objected. ''If you're going to be Baptist, this is one of the distinctives,'' he said.
First Baptist quit the Southern Baptist Convention in 1999 over its conservative policies.

Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
What is the problem you are having with the washer?
Ok what you need to do is remove the door seal from the front of the washer so remove the outer clamp and then you can remove the seal from the front panel.
Now you need to attach the door seal to the tank. Look in the door seal and in the middle part you will the small draining holes. These need to be at the bottom in the 6 oclock position.
Then lip the door seal onto the drum and feed it all the way round.
Once you have the seal on then you need strech the bigger clamp onto the door seal.
Then you can reattach the seal to the front cabinet and refit the clamp.
No ive found a clip on Youtube on how to fit the seal. Now they remove the control panel to get better access so that you to you if you do it as i dont remove that.
Click here for the video link
Have a look at that and the above what i have said will make sense for you.
Just wondering how you got on with the washer as the question is still open?
Did you manage to get the door seal on?

Earth Could Be Too Hot For Humans By 2300
Research released Tuesday revealed that climate change could make most of the world too hot for human habitation within just three centuries.
Scientists from Australia's University of New South Wales, along with colleagues from Purdue University in the United States, discovered that rising temperatures in some places could mean humans would be unable to adapt or survive."It would begin to occur with global-mean warming of about seven degrees Celsius (13 Fahrenheit), calling the habitability of some regions into question," the researchers said in their paper.
"With 11-12 degrees Celsius warming, such regions would spread to encompass the majority of the human population as currently distributed."
Research professor Steven Sherwood said there was no chance the Earth would heat up seven degrees this century, but there was a serious risk that the continued burning of fossil fuels would create the problem by 2300.
"There's something like a 50/50 chance of that over the long term," he told AFP.
The study looked at the "heat stress" produced by combining the impact of rising temperatures and increased humidity.
Sherwood said climate change research has been "short-sighted" not to probe into the long-term consequences of the impact of greenhouse gases, which cause global warming.
"It needs to be looked at," he told AFP. "There's not much we can do about climate change over the next two decades but there's still a lot we can do about the longer term changes."
Australian National University academics said in a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that climate change would not stop in 2100.
"And under realistic scenarios out to 2300, we may be faced with temperature increases of 12 degrees (Celsius) or even more," Professor Tony McMichael told AFP.
"If this happens, our current worries about sea level rise, occasional heatwaves and bushfires, biodiversity loss and agricultural difficulties will pale into insignificance beside a major threat -- as much as half the currently inhabited globe may simply become too hot for people to live there."
Study co-author Matthew Huber of Purdue University said that while the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change showed the Earth could rise 7 degrees by 2010, eventual warming over several centuries of 25 degrees is feasible.
The researchers found that humans and most mammals experience potentially lethal levels of heat stress when temperatures rise to above 95 degrees sustained for six hours or more.

Unocal to Invest in Thai Power Plant
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, January 2, 2002
Thailand's Electricity Generating Public Company Ltd. _ EGCOMP _ said Thursday it had reached agreement with Unocal Bangpakong Ltd., a unit of U.S. energy company Unocal, to jointly invest in a 165-megawatt power plant.
The deal to invest in Amata Egco Power Ltd. is worth $8.27 million in cash and shares, it said in a statement. EGCOMP and Unocal Bangpakong will own equal capacity of 41.3 megawatts each in Amata Egco after the joint investment.
The investment will be made through EGCOMP's wholly- owned unit Egco Joint Ventures and Development Ltd., or EGCO JD, which holds a 29.7 percent stake in Amata Egco, the company said in a filing to the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
Following the transaction, EGCOMP will dilute its shareholding in Egco JD by half with Unocal Bangpakong acquiring the other 50 percent.
Unocal Bangpakong will have to pay a total of $2.64 million to EGCOMP along with a 30 percent stake of its 112-megawatt power plant Amata Power (Bangpakong) Ltd., worth $5.63 million, to EGCO JD to participate in the latter's capital hike.
A Unocal spokesman said the joint investment will enable the company to use EGCO JD as an investment tool in case it has any future investment plan with EGCOMP in the natural gas and power sectors.
EGCOMP's major shareholders are the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, which is a state enterprise, and China Light and Power.

About Us
All neurological disorders strike at the core of our identity. As a group, they are shockingly prevalent. A 2007 report from the World Health Organization estimated that one billion people around the world suffer from some form of neurological disease.
Less than a generation ago there was little hope for treating most of these disorders, but we are now beginning to appreciate the brain's resilience and its capacity for renewal. We are acquiring new tools to illuminate neurological function and dysfunction; more scientists and clinicians are studying these disorders than ever before. In short, we are on the cusp of a new era in biomedicine.
To meet this moment of opportunity, Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) conceived the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI). Building on our considerable strengths in genetics, neuroscience, and pediatrics, NRI is carefully designed to foster collaboration among 30-40 basic faculty and clinician-scientists with the goal of developing treatments for childhood neurological diseases.
The Gordon and Mary Cain Pediatric Neurology Research Foundation funds epilepsy research programs at the Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, Texas.The labs are located within the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI) building. In 2010, extensive preclinical cellular and animal studies by Cain lab researchers culminated in the identification of a rapamycin analog, everolimus, as a potential therapy against severe epilepsy due to brain malformations in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex.
In a small FDA-approved clinical trial conducted at the Texas Children's and Cincinnati Children's Hospitals, it was demonstrated that most of the severely epileptic children treated with everolimus had significantly fewer seizures. Encouraged by those positive results, a much larger international clinical trial was successfully completed recently. Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine were major sites for this trial.
Our Vision
The vision of the leaders at the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research (NRI) Institute is to foster a multi-disciplinary, collaborative environment that will facilitate fundamental discoveries in neuroscience with the ultimate goal of translating them to therapies for many incurable neurological and neurodegenerative conditions.
Several features of NRI catalyze progress in translational research:
Central location
The Texas Medical Center (TMC) is the largest in the world, and its institutions treat about 6 million patients each year. The 344,000 square foot silver-level LEED-certified NRI building, nestled in the heart of the TMC, brings Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital researchers working on neurodevelopment and neurological diseases under one roof and provides space to recruit investigators with complementary areas of expertise.
The Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute also physically links Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, where University of Texas collaborators lend strength in developmental biology and epigenetics. Most importantly, NRI's location adjacent to the hospitals fosters relationships between the lab and the clinic, which are integral to the translational research enterprise.
Multi-disciplinary approach: exploring common themes in different areas of expertise
The best way to break the grip of a particular discipline on the way a question is framed and answered is to concentrate on themes of importance to several disciplines. A number of NRI-sponsored programs such as monthly disease-specific dinner seminars bring together faculty who might otherwise never encounter one another, which often allows them to discover an unexpected commonality in their respective diseases of interest. These events form the hubs of a dynamic intellectual network in which ongoing conversations serve as mutual catalysts for creativity. We can't predict where the next insight will come from; we just know the insights and discoveries are always around the corner.
Robust core services
At a time when too many medical schools are reducing their investment in basic research infrastructure, the NRI is enriching our environment by providing core labs to specifically support translational neuroscience research. Expertise in creating engineered mice, RNA in situ, neuropathology, slice and in vivo neurophysiology, neuroimaging, animal EEG, mouse behavior, bioinformatics, microscopy (confocal, two-photon and electron), and pharmacology/drug trial design are available to all NRI labs.
Researchers at BCM and TCH, with the support of six NIH institutes, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and several disease foundations, have long been at the forefront of understanding numerous neurological and developmental disorders. We discovered/co-discovered the genetic basis of Fragile X (A and E) syndromes, Angelman syndrome, Rett syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, Goltz syndrome, incontinentia pigmenti, several inherited ataxias, several inherited neuropathies, and numerous other neurological and neuropsychiatric syndromes. We have created animal models for many of these disorders, and we are already using some of them to develop therapeutic interventions.
The NRI simply makes the work faster, easier, and a lot more fun.

NEW YORK - Sarah Palin says she accepts David Letterman's apology for the joke he made about her daughter.
The Alaska governor, in a statement issued Tuesday, said the apology was accepted "on behalf of all young women, like my daughters, who hope men who 'joke' about public displays of sexual exploitation of girls will soon evolve."
On his CBS' "Late Show" on Monday night, Letterman said his joke about one of Palin's daughters being "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez can't be defended.
He said the joke referred to 18-year-old Bristol Palin, not her 14-year-old sister Willow. But Letterman said it's his responsibility that people believed that he intended to target Willow, who had attended a New York Yankees game with her mother.
"I'm sorry about it, and I'll try to do better in the future," he said.
Letterman last week tried to make light of the joke after the first indications that it had fallen flat. Palin had called the comments "sexually perverted," and her husband, Todd, said that "any jokes about raping my 14-year-old are despicable."
Palin said Tuesday that Letterman has the right to joke about whatever he wants to, and "thankfully we have the right to express our reaction."
"This is all thanks to our U.S. military men and women putting their lives on the line for us to secure America's right to free speech," she said. "In this case, may that right be used to promote equality and respect."
Not everyone was willing to turn the page.
A "Fire David Letterman" protest was held Tuesday outside the Ed Sullivan Theater, where he tapes the show. The turnout was slim, though: about a dozen.
One of the protesters, New York City real estate agent Tom Muller, said he just wanted "to see a little accountability come to the Letterman show ... And maybe urge him to get back to when he ran a funny TV show and didn't use it for his political pulpit."
Inside the theater, the protest inspired comedy for Tuesday's edition of "Late Show" in the form of "Top Ten Things Overheard at the 'Fire David Letterman Rally."'
They included:
No. 10. "David who?"
No. 9. "Well, it was nice of CBS to provide the catering."
And ranking No. 8: "We should have done this years ago."
Brent Bozell, president of the conservative watchdog Media Research Center, called Letterman's apology the night before "slippery and Clintonian."
Although Bristol, an unwed mother, was the target of his joke, Letterman didn't name her when it was originally made on June 8.
It was "a coarse joke," "a bad joke," Letterman told viewers. "But I never thought it was (about) anybody other than the older daughter, and before the show, I checked to make sure, in fact, that she is of legal age, 18."
"The joke, really, in and of itself, can't be defended," he declared.
If there's a misconception that he was making the joke about a 14-year-old, Letterman said he understands why people are upset. "I would be upset myself," he said.
"I feel that I need to do the right thing here and apologize for having told that joke," he said. "It's not your fault that it was misunderstood, it's my fault that it was misunderstood."

Are you reading this on your iPad, bargain basement Touchpad or Asus Eee? Well, if you are, then you may just about be on your own.
A survey of 14,000 people by Forrester Research for the Huffington Post has shown that take up of tablets has been remarkably slow with just 4% of Britons having bought one while 93% have a mobile phone.
If you are concerned with keeping up with the Joneses, or Johanesses or Jean-Jacques though, don't fret as the single-digit 4% tablet take-up is largely on a par with the European average, according to Sarah Rotman Epps, a senior analyst at Forrester.
Epps said: "Overall, we expect tablet growth in the UK to be quite strong, reaching 34% of the population in 2015, compared with 27% as the average for the population in Western Europe. Drivers of tablet adoption in the UK include, for example, relatively high Mac and iPhone adoption, high BlackBerry and Android phone adoption; good distribution channels for tablets, including 30 of Europe's 52 Apple Stores, plus Dixons, Carphone Warehouse, and so on; as well as lots of English language content, there are a lot more apps to choose from than in, say, Poland."
Forrester strategists expect the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) tablet market will make up 30% of worldwide consumer tablet sales in 2011 (compared to 50% in the US), reaching 14.5 million units.
The same survey showed that an additional 10-14% of respondents said they would be interested in purchasing a tablet. So that means while we're not using them in huge numbers now, we more than likely will be doing so soon.
Will you be part of the tablet-owning percentage? What tablet would you choose?

Just seeing if there are any good knit-ups and/or groups I should look into. I will be in Durham and Cary next week (a few days in each). Following week will find me in Boston.
The Durham shop, Cozy (at
The Durham shop, Cozy (at 9th Street and Markham Avenue), is worth a visit. Their two groups have met for this month. There is a shop in Chapel Hill (yarns etc). In Raleigh there is Great Yarns, plus another one that I don't know the name of. Don't know if any of those have groups or not.

Although I've lived back in the Triangle Area (Raleigh) for almost a year now and have tons of friends in Durham, I've not yet gotten to any of the local knitting groups. But, if you are on Ravelry, check out the Raleigh/Durham/Triangle area knitting groups. I know there are a number of knitting groups that meet various places in the area.

In what can only be described as the BEST or WORST idea I have ever had, Joe and I registered for the Rock and Roll New Orleans Marathon last night on March 4th, 2012. We are going with friends so it is bound to be a good time in a city that I have always wanted to visit at the pinnacle of "I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE" in Upstate NY weather*.
I am planning on, again, doing the run/walk method in the New Orleans Marathon so hopefully pushing the speed on the treadmill helps me keep the run intervals low. Apparently the course is flat and the weather, as always , will be an unknown, though warmer than here for sure, so running inside will actually be better training than outside, in this case!
I am planning on doing week day runs on the treadmill and weekend longer runs out side. So, I guess the treadmill and I are going to be tight and if you have been reading this blog for more than a day you probably know that I dislike the treadmill almost as much as I dislike the cold. But I am going to learn to love it, really I am! You'll see!
While running yesterday – starting out cold, damp, windy and then sunny and ten degrees warmer…all over 9 miles and about an hour and a half – I had a thought that maybe the way to tackle long runs would be to do 5 mile loops from the car. That will give me a chance to drop and add layers as needed and, if absolutely necessary (though not recommended), throw in the towel!
My other goal for the "un-off season" is strength training. I am shooting for three days a week. Not only will it make me a stronger runner, it will hopefully lower my body fat and keep my weight down which will make me healthier overall – which ultimately is what is important.
Do you have a plan for the winter or are you going "planless"?
* last time I planned a getaway/triathalon in early March I ended up finishing in an ambulance and spending the day in the hospital and coming home twitching, concussed and broken. Hopefully I learned from my mistakes!

This is a section of ESPN's E:60 featuring Dwayne Wade and his mother.
Critique: Right off the bat they use excellent imagery with a voice over and switch back and forth from that to natural sound and so on. The voice over sets up the story by giving us a preview of what it's about, coupled with Mrs. Wade preaching. The interviews are great. It was nice to have Dwayne and his mom together, then Dwayne, his mom, his sister, his dad, etc. During his dad's interview they showed him, then showed him on the television which I thought was cool. It was also nice to have Dwayne Wade being interviewed on the steps of his childhood home.
Overall, it was an excellent production. It told more than just the rags to riches story by getting in depth with his family members and by an outstanding use of imagery. The composition of the interviews were great, especially the non-studio interview on the steps.

The bbq's:
- Frozen juice concentrate. I prefer Welch's Passion Fruit (from Walmart). I recommend using something clear, I tried pina colada...no good). My friend likes pineapple juice if Passion Fruit isn't available in your town.
- Enuff Iced Tea Mix for 3 quarts. I use whatever brand is least expensive when I'm shopping
- Lil less than a gallon of water
- Gallon pitcher
Share it this Summer with your family and friends. If you have guests over, throw some fresh lemon slices on top and make it all purdy.
And for those of you who enjoy a good cocktail, you can add your favorite spirits, yum yum!
It's gonna get up to the 80s here in PA today. I'm giddy to get out and enjoy the warm weather.

Location & Photography Venue
Location & Photography Venue
Buckland Manor is an exceptional period manor house on the edge of Lymington in Hampshire and is now available for hire as a location venue, magazine and advertising shoots. There has been a house at Buckland since the 12th Century and parts of the current building are thought to pre-date the 18th Century. Buckland Manor has a magnificent drive, façade, south facing garden and principal rooms.
The property is positioned in substantial grounds and the owner has recently installed a unique reduced scale steam railway in the garden.
Contact Sarah Branson (+44 (0) 7710 664172) for more details.
Buckland Manor has recently become available for advertising, film and production contracts, with easy access and ample vehicle parking.
The established gardens are yours to use and enjoy when hiring Buckland Manor. The manor house is available on a daily or weekly hire basis.
In July, Hampshire Life visited Buckland Manor to meet Jamie Dutton Forshaw.
...the magnificent formal, mature tree lined drive, through what was formerly parkland associated with the house, still survives.
...the magnificent formal, mature tree lined drive, through what was formerly parkland associated with the house, still survives.
Buckland Manor is an imposing detached dwelling located within an extensive curtilage, which includes formal and kitchen garden areas and a woodland garden.
The house has a core that dates from the late 16th or early 17th century and was a brick building with gables and large end chimney stacks. The main Georgian façade, facing east, was added in the 18th century and there are later 18th, 19th and early 20th century extensions to the rear.
The façade is brick, with six over six pane timber vertical sash windows and has a large central door with Tuscan pillars to either side, supporting a flat roofed porch.
The roofs are all clay plain tiles, with the exception of the 19th century bay on the south front, which has fish-scale tiles on a conical roof.
The southern garden façade is of painted brick, with some tile hanging, and a central imposing late 19th century bracketed oriel bay window at first floor window. The majority of the original timber sash windows survive on this elevation.

When the entrepreneur John Howlett (1883 – 1976) came to Lymington as a motor mechanic in 1912 no-one could have guessed what an impact he was to have on the town.
He joined South Coast Garages and eventually was able to take over the business and in 1919 he founded Wellworthy Piston Rings Ltd, a firm that became a major player in the automotive industry and employed thousands!
As his wealth grew so did his aspirations, so much so that he became a councillor and then mayor of the Borough of Lymington.
Howlett had the stunning Amdega conservatory dismantled from his original home at Buckland Manor and moved over the road to his new residence and installed there at one point. On discovering he couldn't settle in the new location, Howlett returned to the Manor House and took the conservatory back with him!

Today's interview is with Leah Cook!
If you could take only three pieces of gear on a shoot, what would they be?
Without a doubt my 5D mkii, 85 1.2L, and 24-70 2.8L (oh I'd love to have the 50mm in the car…pretty please??)
What was your first experience in photography?
I can always remember having some type of camera from when I was very young – Polaroid, throw away film, etc. I experienced my dad taking lots of pictures, he's the one I credit for my love of photography. He likes to shoot landscapes now (I prefer people!). I've always loved to sit and look through photographs of our family and my friends – I could do that for hours. I was still teaching when I figured out that taking pictures was really fun and that maybe I had an eye for it (I had no idea how to shoot on manual back then!). My love and education for photography really grew when I had a baby – just like so many other moms out there.
If you could shoot alongside any other photographer, who would it be (and why)?
Honestly, I would be super nervous to shoot with a crazy famous photographer. There is no way I could relax and enjoy the moment. I did have the opportunity to meet Michele Anderson of Pinkle Toes Photography last summer and that was pretty darn amazing as I've always admired her work. I have and will continue to shoot with my dear friend Sara Seeton – we have a similar style and it's always a blast to hang out, bounce ideas around, and take pictures with her!
Other than photography, do you have any other creative outlets?
I love to draw, paint, color etc. but I just don't get to do it enough. Usually it's creating a silly project with my son or nieces + nephews. That's something I really miss about teaching!
Tell us one thing you wish you'd known when you started your business.
It's so important to pace yourself when you're starting out. It's really easy to get overworked, take on too much, and even be taken advantage of. New photographers must learn quickly that their time is valuable! I wish I would have gotten better organized before jumping in. That and to not be too hard on yourself. There was so much I had to learn technically. I could 'see' what my photos should and could look like, just couldn't get there fast enough. Oh, and I really wish I had joined and learned as much as possible from CM members early on. BIG mistake. Oops, that was more than one thing!
What's on the horizon for your business?
Oh I'm so excited about this!! I have a special project in the works with CM next year. Word on the street is that I'll get to share my approach to working with newborns complete with video footage! Can't wait! I will keep doing my regular sessions – newborns, families, babies and kids are my favorites. I'm also looking forward to Imaging USA in January!
Describe the perfect session.
Depending on what mood I'm in this could change. I will describe the perfect newborn session. I shoot in my clients' homes so floor to ceiling windows on a warm, sunny mid-morning would be amazing, along with a unique nursery, well lit bedroom, sleepy baby, and parents that are excited for pictures. Let's throw a fun puppy into the mix and lots of cool finds around the home – quilts, buckets, you name it! Oh and I can't forget some outside space to work with – trees, lush greenery, yum.
What is your current favorite photo that you've taken (and why)?
That's tough. I am extremely critical of my own work. One second I'll be over the moon with an image and then the next I'm ripping it to shreds – it's so easy to see the flaws. That being said, I'm proud that I've contributed to the CMpro Daily Project everyday for the past few months. Shooting daily has pushed me creatively and has even forced me to show pictures that I might not have in the past. I love this one of my mom and my baby, two people that fill my heart with love.
When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a ballerina or an astronaut…ha!! I was in ballet from when I was very little until my senior year of high school when I was so excited to dance as the Sugar Plum Fairy. Oh those were the days! I still dream of taking dance.
What is the best and worst part of your job?
The best part of my job is capturing family connections and memories. I get so excited to watch client slideshows and sometimes they even make ME cry. I'm such a sap, but I can't think of anything else I cherish more than photographs of my babies, so I'm thrilled to share this with others. I also love pushing myself to be creative and original in my work – I love a challenge! The worst part of having a business is time away from my family. It's such a juggling act and just when I think things are under control, life happens. I've had to pace myself and say "no" more than I'd like now that I have two little ones.
How would you describe your artistic style?
My personal style is all over the place. All types of photography appeal to me, and I think that's reflective in my work. I would describe my style as emotive, modern, with touches of lifestyle, humor, and traditional elements. See? Everything!! I strive for a strong 'feeling' in my pictures that you immediately get when you look at the image. My processing has also become part of my style – currently, I'm drawn to soft and hazy with the occasional pop of color.
If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and what would you do there?
I've ALWAYS dreamed of traveling to Australia and diving on the Great Barrier Reef…oh it would be amazing. BUT, now that I have kids? I'd go somewhere fun and close with my hubby, Max, and our boys! WAIT. Scratch that, I would like to go to the Four Seasons or some other fancy hotel and sleep for two days straight. Yes, that.
Funniest or most awkward moment on a shoot?
It's really awkward when husbands and wives bicker at a session. It's totally understandable – especially with newborns, I mean there is very little sleep involved and I get it. Even family sessions can be stressful – there are so many expectations and wardrobe choices plus dealing with little ones that have their own plans (toddlers. sigh) but one time at the very end of a summer session – it was SO hot out (August in Texas) and my two year old twin clients wanted to play in a big water fountain. Sounded fun and reasonable to me! Mom (surprisingly) was totally cool with it and Dad was not. I wanted to stick around and capture a few sweet shots with the water, but the yelling between their parents was too much. We were not the only ones there either. I politely said my goodbyes and left!

Iran, Pakistan finalize gas exports deal: Qashqavi
Tehran, May 25, IRNA – The Foreign Ministry spokesman said Monday that a gas deal was finalized by Iranian and Pakistani presidents here on the sidelines of a tripartite summit which was held with the participation of their counterpart from Afghanistan.
Hassan Qashqavi made the remarks at his weekly press briefing while referring to
the trilateral summit held on Sunday by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan and President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan on major regional issues.
The gas deal was finalized by President Ahmadinejad and President Zardari on the sidelines of the tripartite summit which ended by issuing a 25-article joint statement dubbed as the "Tehran Statment."
Qashqavi told reporters although the gas deal was made between Iran and Pakistan, any third country, including India, could also join the agreement.
The leaders of Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to open their future meetings to other parties, which could include the United States. The tri-partite summit was held in Tehran.
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday rejected a Western proposal for it to "freeze" its nuclear work in return for no new sanctions and ruled out any talks with major powers on the issue.
Breaking with past U.S. policy of shunning direct talks with Iran, Obama's administration last month said it would join nuclear discussions with Tehran from now on.
Kyrgyzstan's parliament voted on Thursday to close the last remaining U.S. air base in Central Asia, dealing a blow to U.S. efforts to use the region as a jumping-off point for its growing campaign in Afghanistan.
NEW DELHI: India's first-ever military outpost on foreign soil, located at Farkhor, about 10 km outside Tajikistan's capital Dushanbe, is ready to become operational by this year-end, without any fanfare.
NATO said Monday that Georgia will eventually become a member — reaffirming its support for the country with which it is hosting joint military exercises, to Russia's dismay.
Robert Simmons, NATO's special envoy to the Caucasus and Central Asia, refused to set a date for Georgia's entry into the military alliance, saying that would be futile.
Indian military receives first of three airborne warning and control systems (AWACS) purchased from Israeli Aerospace Industries for $1.1 billion.
While the U.S. media has frequently reported on Pakistani ties to jihadi elements launching attacks in Afghanistan, it has less often mentioned that India supports insurgent forces attacking Pakistan.
"The Indians are up to their necks in supporting the Taliban against the Pakistani government in Afghanistan and Pakistan," a former intelligence official who served in both countries said. "The same anti-Pakistani forces in Afghanistan also shooting at American soldiers are getting support from India. India should close its diplomatic establishments in Afghanistan and get the Christ out of there."

Corn futures followed their recent pattern again Wednesday, with tight old crop supplies apparently supporting the nearby July contract. In contrast, optimism about the pace of Corn Belt plantings depressed deferred futures, since forthcoming weather seems likely to allow corn plantings to be completed in something approaching a timely manner. July corn closed 0.25 cents higher at $6.6075/bushel Wednesday afternoon, while December dropped 10.75 cents to $5.4225.
Soybean futures seemingly reacted to the same forces affecting corn prices. The expiring July future likely benefitted from old crop tightness, whereas the improved planting pace implies seeding will be completed without a great deal of damage to fall harvest prospects. July soybean futures gained 3.25 cents to $15.32/bushel late Wednesday afternoon, while July soyoil slipped 0.29 cents to 48.30 cents/pound, and July soybean meal climbed $3.4 to $455.9/ton.
Wheat futures reportedly suffered from seasonal pressure Wednesday. That is, talk that the harvest has begun in far southern portions of the Winter Wheat Belt may be undercut the nearby contracts, whereas improved rainfall over the Corn Belt depressed new crop futures. July CBOT wheat futures dipped 7.5 cents to $7.015/bushel at its Wednesday settlement, while July KCBT wheat slid 7.5 cents to $7.4325 and July MGE futures declined 5.0 cents to $8.10.
The latest news seemingly weighed upon livestock futures today. The late-morning wholesale report indicated that choice cutout was continuing its recent decline, but the real news of the day concerned trade. That is, a monthly report stated April U.S. beef exports at 180.1 million pounds, which marked a 13.3% annual decline and a 19% drop from two years ago, thereby implying diminished demand for American beef. June cattle slumped 0.52 cents to 120.42 cents/pound as the pit session ended Wednesday, while December tumbled 0.85 to 124.72. August feeder futures sank 0.82 cents to 144.75 cents/pound, and November lost 0.80 cents to 150.00
Hog traders also seemed to react poorly to the weak monthly export sales report, since that stated April pork shipments 11.9% below year-ago. However, the noon pork report indicated a major jump in pork cutout, up 3.80 cents to 96.28 cents/pound, which almost surely powered the subsequent CME rebound. Futures finished mixed. June hog futures settled 0.12 cents higher at 96.65 cents/pound Wednesday, while December declined 0.32 cents to 80.50.

Of poison pens and poisoning: a gripping Miss Marple mystery.
Lymstock is a town with more than its share of shameful secrets - a town where even a sudden outbreak of anonymous hate-mail causes only a minor stir. But all that changes when one of the recipients, Mrs Symmington, commits suicide. Her final note said 'I can't go on'.
Only Miss Marple questions the coroner's verdict of suicide. Was this the work of a poison-pen? Or of a poisoner?
©1942 Agatha Christie (P)2013 HarperCollins Publishers Limited
"Beyond all doubt the puzzle in The Moving Finger is fit for experts" ( The Times)
"Beautiful narration"
One of my favourite Agatha Christie books, supposedly a Miss Marple story, although she makes only the briefest of appearances in the later parts of the story. Instead we have a gripping tale of love and murder narrated by the hero, here beautifully and humorously portrayed by Richard E Grant
"too much of a good thing"
Personally, I think this is one of Christie's best stories. I couldn't really describe why I am so fond of t but I am. The characters of brother and sister and how they fit into the slightly alien world of the little village, somehow makes an excellent addition to the crime story itself.
Well, here is where I find myself in a bit of a pickle. Richard E Grant is an institution. The undisputed champion of male stately voices. His reading of James Bond stories is excellent. However, for this type of story, I find his voice too posh. If there would have been a version read by Emilia Fox, I would have bought that straightaway. I do feel guilty for not entirely liking this but I can't help it.
"An unexpected pleasure"
I understand that many prefer Joan Hickson to read all the Miss Marple stories (she was Agatha Christie's choice to play her) but this, like Murder at the Vicarage is told from a male viewpoint so I thought I'd try this out. Richard E Grant does a rather splendid job over and above what I was hoping for. The story, being what it is - an English country mystery, always yearns for a classic narration such as this.
"Richard E Grant"
Richard E Grant is beyond exceptional. How can someone morph into so many characters? Just wonderful. Thoroughly recommend.
"Classic Christie"
A superb Christie, brilliantly narrated and well paced. I must have read the book ages ago but couldn't remember "whodunit" so this was a welcome reminder of how good Agatha Christie can be.
Although a Miss Marple mystery, the story is written from the point of a convalescent young man who needs to vegetate in the country and takes his sister along too. There is not a lot of Miss Marple but she does solve the problem perfectly well.
I was impressed by the production and the book and would recommend this one to any Christie fan.
"Reduced the chore of painting."
Can't say - haven't read the print version.
I really loved listening to this early Agatha Christie book. MIss Marple doesn't make an entry until well into the story. The identity of the killer, as always isn't easy to pick, but Miss Marple does it of course. Was a good story set in an English village (where else), very easy to listen to and perfectly narrated at a perfect pace. I hate painting skirting boards and woodwork but this took my mind off the job and before I knew it it was done!
"An early Christie"
And not a lot of Miss M, though she does show up with her knitting.
I did find myself wondering 'who did it?' when my main suspect was ruled out, only to be reinstated later.
Richard E Grant did read quite nicely thank you. A few fluffs at times though that really did not detract very much, More perhaps that a real live person was reading me a story and that is always a treat.
All up a lovely Christie I had never read before and enjoyed very much.

'Anticancer' Book & Diet - Dark Chocolate! (Not a ton of course)
This post from the author's website contains some basic cost-conscious advice.
(By the way, I've read several books that advise eating more vegetables and fiber, and I don't remember any of them mentioning Beano, which does wonders in reducing or eliminating the flatulence that results from eating those things. I haven't received any coupons from Beano as a result of posting this, and don't expect to. The stuff works. Not on absolutely everything, every time, but since I live with the Human Bloodhound, aka the Super-Smeller, Beano is very useful. :-) (Yes, I borrowed the nickname "Super-Smeller" from "Psych.")
Back to Anticancer -- here's a short description of the book from the author's website:
"When David Servan-Schreiber, a dedicated scientist and doctor, was diagnosed with brain cancer, his life changed. Confronting what medicine knows about the illness and the little-known workings of his body's natural cancer-fighting capabilities, and marshaling his own will to live, Servan-Schreiber found himself on a fifteen-year journey from disease and relapse into scientific exploration and, finally, to health. Combining memoir, concise explanation of what makes cancer cells thrive and what inhibits them, and drawing on both conventional and alternative ways to slow and prevent cancer, Anticancer is revolutionary."

Subarachnoid hemorrhage induces cytosolic Ca2+-oscillations in human cerebrovascular endothelial cells
Induktion von zytosolischen Ca2+-Oszillationen in humanen zerebralen Endothelzellen nach subarachnoidaler Blutung
Search Medline for
|May 30, 2008
Objective: Molecular mechanisms of vascular inflammation include specific modes of cell signaling like endothelial cytosolic Ca2+-oscillations that activate NF-κB, lead to VCAM-1 expression and cell contraction. The goal of this study was to investigate this pathophysiological sequence of events in vitro on human cerebral endothelial cells (HCEC) which were exposed to cisternal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients, after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
Methods: HCEC were incubated with cisternal CSF from 10 SAH patients with cerebral vasospasm. CSF was collected on the 5th and 6th day after SAH. Cytosolic Ca2+-concentrations and cell contraction were examined by Fura-2 microfluometry. Thapsigargin, xestospongin and ryanidine were used to block endoplasmic reticulum (ER) ATPase, inositol-triphosphate (IP3) and ryanidine-dependent Ca2+-channels, respectively. NF-κB and VCAM-1 activation was measured immunocytochemically.
Results: Incubation of HCEC with SAH-CSF provoked cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations (0.31±0.09 min-1) and cell contraction. No Ca2+-oscillations were detected after exposure to native CSF. The presence of thapsigargin or xestospongin significantly reduces the frequency of Ca2+ oscillations and cell contraction whereas ryanodine had no influence. Incubation of HCEC with SAH-CSF induced NF-κB activation and VCAM-1 expression, which were significantly reduced by thapsigargin or xestospongin
Conclusions: Cisternal CSF from SAH patients induces intercellular gap-formation, NF-κB activation and VCAM-1 expression as key factors of vascular inflammation. This is due to cytosolic Ca2+oscillations in HCEC as a result of a dysfunction of the ER.

Good afternoon,
I am going through The Wishing Game by Patric Redmond and sometimes I am not completely sure about meaning of some of his expressions. However, I am sure it is because of my gaps in English or not fully developed English "feeling". Here is one example:
"....The school returned to its feet and began to file out; house by house, row by row, each boy turning and nodding respectfully towards the altar before marching up the aisle and out into the crispness of the autumn morning.
They marched along the chapel path towards the main school building; boys in smart blue blazers emblazoned with the scool crest;...."
I thing that this chapel path is outside the chapel and it is a sort of pavement leading to/from the chapel. Am I right?
Thanks for explanations,
Yes that's right, the chapel path would be a paved path leading from the chapel to and from the main school buildings.

Lotto joy on the double for Limerick winners
LIMERICK's Hazel Noonan is celebrating this week after taking home a large cheque from Winning Streak, while another lucky punter has become Limerick's latest millionaire through the Prize Bonds draw.
Glin lady Hazel Noonan won a whopping €30,800, which included a holiday to France, on last Saturday's National Lottery Winning Streak TV gameshow.
Ms Noonan was one of five lucky players to win big on the RTE show - the total value of which was worth over €200,000.
The Limerick winner received her prizes from hosts Geri Maye and Marty Whelan in front of a large television and studio audience.
Meanwhile, details have emerged of the latest person to become a millionaire in Limerick - with one lucky Prize Bond holder winning big through the state savings product.
A mystery winner scooped €1 million on Friday after the winning bond number - NW 375901 - was pulled from the top draw. The bond was purchased in 2010.
The €1 million prize is awarded on the last draw of every month and replaces the normal weekly top prize of €20,000. Other cash prizes awarded each week include five of €1,000, 10 of €250 and over 8,500 of €75.
John Daly, Prize Bond chairman, said: "Congratulations to our new Prize Bond Millionaire from Limerick and to over 8,500 other winners in today's Prize Bond draw".
Limerick has had a string of Lotto winners this year, with two wins in the National Lottery's Daily Million game, and a happy couple from Newcastle West who won the €500,000 top prize in the EuroMillions Plus game.
Garryowen mum of ten Susan Bailey also won nearly €900,000 when her numbers came up in the EuroMillions draw in March.

SAN FRANCISCO — Freddie Solomon, the former Miami Dolphins and 49ers wide receiver who became known as "Fabulous Freddie" and committed himself to community service for decades, died Monday. He was 59.
The 49ers announced the passing of Solomon, who lived in Florida and had battled cancer over the past year. He played on the first of the franchise's four Super Bowl championship teams in the 1980s during an 11-year NFL career.
"The 49ers lost a member of our family today. We'll miss you, Freddie Solomon," 49ers CEO Jed York posted on his Twitter account.
The Dolphins selected Solomon in the second round of the 1975 draft out of the University of Tampa. He spent his first three NFL seasons with Miami and his final eight in San Francisco, finishing with 371 receptions for 5,846 yards and 48 touchdowns in 371 games.
During his stint in San Francisco, Solomon also ran for 329 yards and three TDs as an important member of late Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh's West Coast offense.
"Freddie was very influential to me and my career, and taught me about work ethic and professionalism. He inspired me to go out there every day and emulate him," Hall of Fame wideout Jerry Rice said.
After his football career ended, Solomon worked for two decades in community relations with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Florida, where he mentored youth and taught vital life lessons through football fundamentals.
"Freddie Solomon was a dear friend and a great teammate," Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana said. "There was no one who gave more on and off the field than Freddie. The kindness he demonstrated was inspirational to all that knew him, and a joy to be around. The warmth of his smile will be forever imbedded in my mind and heart."
Solomon was born on Jan. 11, 1953, in Sumter, S.C. He is survived by wife, Dee; mother, Bessie Ruth Solomon; brothers Richard, Oneal and Roger; and mother-in-law Mae Jeffers.
"Besides his accomplishments as a player, Freddie truly cared about his community, whether it was here in South Florida or in the Tampa Bay area where he had his roots," Dolphins vice president Nat Moore said in a statement. "He was a kind and generous person, as exemplified by all of his charitable and civic deeds. It's a shame he passed away so young, and the Miami Dolphin organization extends its condolences to his family."
Funeral services were scheduled for Friday at Saint Lawrence Church in Tampa, Fla.

The high satisfaction index scores we received reflect the overall, rewarding experience that The Little Gym owners provide to children and families.
Scottsdale, Ariz. (PRWEB) April 16, 2014
The Little Gym International has been honored with a 2014 Franchisee Satisfaction Award, an annual award given to franchise companies with the highest satisfaction rankings in surveys conducted by independent market research firm Franchise Business Review.
The Little Gym, the world's premier experiential learning and physical development center for kids 4 months to 12 years, ranked highly in the areas of core values, the strength of its franchise system, and how owners rate their personal enjoyment in operating their business and being part of the organization as a whole. The company also exceeded child services category benchmarks in the areas of training and support, and general satisfaction.
"The high satisfaction index scores we received reflect the overall, rewarding experience that The Little Gym owners provide to children and families," said Ruk Adams, president and CEO, The Little Gym International. "Our gym owners consistently tell us that being part of The Little Gym enables them to make a difference in children's lives by providing foundational skills that get children active and benefit them as they prepare for school and beyond."
Franchise owners surveyed also gave The Little Gym high marks for innovation, creativity and for the quality of its products and services. The Little Gym provides its franchise owners with a highly developed, age-appropriate curriculum, easy-to-implement detailed lesson plans, videos and teaching aids, and a library of proprietary music.
"We provide the curriculum, music, tools and training for owners to successfully implement our non-competitive, gymnastics program. Our nurturing class environment encourages children to attempt and learn new physical skills, increase their retention and understanding of complex instructions, and practice cooperation and other socialization skills," said Adams.
Founded in 1976 and franchising since 1992, The Little Gym is a leader in the children's activities space. The chain now has 294 locations worldwide in 28 countries. The initial investment for a The Little Gym franchise ranges from $200,000 to $300,000.
"Kid-focused franchises are increasingly popular to people looking to invest in a franchise, and I am thrilled The Little Gym has decided to make its franchisee satisfaction data available to candidates," said Franchise Business Review president Michelle Rowan. "This is their 4th appearance in our Top Franchises report, so they have a lot to be proud of."
Over the last nine years, Franchise Business Review has surveyed more than 100,000 franchisees from more than 700 of today's leading franchise brands. All active franchise owners who have been in business for three months or longer are invited to participate in this survey process.
More than one-third of The Little Gym's current franchise owners participated in the independent survey, which asked franchisees questions related to training and support, system communication, franchisor/franchisee relations, financial opportunity, business lifestyle, and overall satisfaction with their business. The full results are available at http://www.FranchiseBusinessReview.com.
"Our standard franchisee satisfaction survey includes 33 benchmark questions," Rowan said. "Franchise companies use our survey data to help better understand the experiences of their franchisees, and pin-point areas within their systems where improvements can be made to help increase satisfaction and engagement—which leads directly to overall increases in franchisee performance."
Representatives from The Little Gym's franchise development team will be exhibiting at the Multi-Unit Franchising Conference, April 23-25, 2014, in Las Vegas (Booth #627). For additional information, visit http://www.TheLittleGymFranchise.com.

Yesterday ended up being a fairly low-key, relaxing day. Exactly the kind of day a tired 37 year old needs every now and then.
After getting a late start on the day, Kellie, Raymond, and I hung out at home for a good part of the day just talking and relaxing. Running hard during the week makes it difficult to do that sometimes, and I really appreciated the down time.
For dinner, we went to The Oceanaire Seafood Room. If you're ever in the Washington, D.C. area and you're a seafood fan, this is the place to go. I've been a fan of this place for five years but really only get to go there on special occasions. They've also got locations in Atlanta, Dallas, San Diego, Indianapolis, Seattle, and Minneapolis.
After dinner, we spent about an hour driving around downtown D.C. looking at the monuments at night. Today, its back downtown to the National Mall.
