Milkweed and Butterflies
By Kay on Mon, May 18, 2009
For Mother's Day we have a tradition of planting in our garden in the back yard. The kids help pick out what we want to plant while we're at the nursery, then enjoy digging holes in the garden to plant their favorites.
Since Kate and I are studying butterflies for her lapbook (and since we both like butterflies a lot), we decided to plant some milkweed to attract Monarchs. Monarch butterflies like to not only sip the nectar from the flowers of these plants, but they also like to lay their eggs on the leaves. The baby caterpillars then eat the leaves as they grow, turn into chrysalises, and then eventually finish the life cycle to become an adult Monarch butterfly.
Within only an hour of planting our milkweed in the back yard, we spotted a Monarch butterfly flitting around the plants over and over for a good 10-15 minutes. Little did we know that it was a she and she was actually laying her eggs! Just a few days after planting is when we noticed the eggs on the undersides of the leaves and then a couple of days later we were already noticing TINY green caterpillars starting to gnaw holes in the leaves.
Today, only one week after planting, we saw a much larger yellow/white striped caterpillar on the underside of one of the leaves.
Needless to say, we are all very excited to get the opportunity to watch the life cycle of a butterfly in our own backyard!! And I just had to share it with you all! I'll keep you posted as our caterpillars grow larger and turn into chrysalises. We can hardly wait!

"I am taking a new approach to creating opportunities instead of chasing work. We are positioning ourselves in front on the opportunities by forming strategic alliances with developers, architects, bankers, etc., by helping them meet their objectives. We have identified over $100 million in the pipeline for the next two years already."
"I can finally say 'no' to projects. It was tough to do four months ago when we were asked to price an $80 million condo project, but I had to decline, because we were too busy."
"We had an excellent finish [to the year] by securing over $300 million in backlog with over half of that won in negotiated work that will carry us into 2007. Since we met with Scott Humrickhouse last spring, we were successful in winning four projects with RFP/interviews, so we finally have the approach that works. Our success has been not only in having a strong interview presentation but also by doing the pre-interview 'sales' prior to the interview."

Use relish and mayonnaise to turn hard-cooked eggs into an easy appetizer. MORE + LESS -
You can buy hard-cooked eggs in the deli area of larger supermarkets. Or to cook picture-perfect hard-cooked eggs, cover eggs with cold water in saucepan; heat to boiling, then remove from heat. Cover and let stand 20 minutes. Immediately cool in cold water to keep them from cooking further.

New Year's Resolution Day 3:
"fix it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without."
Gotta love that Pioneer logic!
Tomorrow I'm sure I'll be full of profound thoughts and inspirations . . . full of advice making do with less . . . but right now I'm drawing a Big. Fat. Blank.
So here's a fun little idea a customer showed me and then I looked up on pinterest. . . turning ugly 1980's entertainment centers into play kitchens. I love the idea of turning something that NOBODY wants anymore into a fantastic STURDY toy for the kids.
Really, if you have distructo-matic kids like mine then sturdy counts for a whole lot.
We were up till 5 am on Christmas Eve working on this for the twins, and then we missed the big surprise when we slept in and the kids woke up before us!!!
Entertainment Center turned Play Kitchen
A flip down table for snacking, A hand painted clock with working hands (sorta working, they flop) and stamped numbers, and a little shelf for pretties.
(With much cuter shelf brackets coming as soon as I figure out the incredibly smart place I put them so I wouldn't lose them.)
I trimmed down an old wooden window to fit and added a picture of my mom's backyard and curtains. Justin did 90% of the work, converting the dark glass tower to a fridge/freezer, added the sink and burners and flipped the hinges on the storage cabinets so the oven would flip down.
I decided on neutral retro colors since I have one Purple princess and one Pink Princess, so I didn't want to favor color over the other. ;)
And yep, we will make you one. ;)
Contact us for details if you're interested.
Thanks! Jessica

The soundstage depth has nothing to do with it sounding congested. If too many sounds played at once within the midrange, the headphone became congested. My SR225 and SR325 both have a literally flat soundstage (absolute zero depth), yet they never become congested even with very complex passages. I heard the on-ear DNA at Office Depot before as well, same result.

Lomaira (phentermine) and Alcohol / Food Interactions
There are 3 alcohol/food/lifestyle interactions with Lomaira (phentermine) which include:
phentermine ↔ food
Moderate Food Interaction
Using phentermine with alcohol can increase the risk of cardiovascular side effects such as increased heart rate, chest pain, or blood pressure changes. In addition, you may also be more likely to experience nervous system side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, depression, and difficulty concentrating. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with phentermine. Do not use more than the recommended dose of phentermine, and avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medication affects you. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medication without first talking to your doctor.
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Severe Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility
CNS stimulants - cardiac disease
The use of CNS stimulants is contraindicated in patients with significant cardiovascular impairment such as uncompensated heart failure, severe coronary disease, severe hypertension (including that associated with hyperthyroidism or pheochromocytoma), cardiac structural abnormalities, serious arrhythmias, etc. Sudden death has been reported in adults and children taking CNS stimulant treatment. Additionally, stroke, myocardial infarction, chest pain, syncope, arrhythmias and other symptoms have been reported in adults under treatment. A careful assessment of the cardiovascular status should be done in patients being considered for treatment. This includes family history, physical exam and further cardiac evaluation (EKG and echocardiogram). Patients who develop symptoms should have a detailed cardiac evaluation and if needed, treatment should be suspended.

Drug Interaction Classification
The classifications below are a general guideline only. It is difficult to determine the relevance of a particular drug interaction to any individual given the large number of variables.
Major | Highly clinically significant. Avoid combinations; the risk of the interaction outweighs the benefit. |
Moderate | Moderately clinically significant. Usually avoid combinations; use it only under special circumstances. |
Minor | Minimally clinically significant. Minimize risk; assess risk and consider an alternative drug, take steps to circumvent the interaction risk and/or institute a monitoring plan. |
Do not stop taking any medications without consulting your healthcare provider.

Asparagus quiche
Quiche is not only a great way to use up any leftovers in the fridge, it can also be prepared ahead and simply reheated at dinner time. Perfect, too, cut into thin wedges to serve with drinks.
2 sheets | Shortcrust pastry |
8 | Asparagus |
1 cup | Cream |
1 cup | Milk |
3 | Eggs |
1 cup | Gruyere cheese, grated |
½ tsp | Salt & freshly ground pepper |
- Preheat oven to 200C.
- Grease a 24cm flan pan and line with pastry, prick several times with a fork. Cover with baking paper and weights (you can use dried rice or beans) and then bake blind for 15 minutes. Remove weights and paper and continue to cook for a few minutes more until pastry is golden. Reduce heat to 180C.
- Cook asparagus in boiling, salted water for 4 to 5 minutes until just tender. Remove from heat, lift out spears and allow to cool enough to handle then chop into thirds.
- Whisk together the cream, milk and eggs, then mix in the cheese (grated).
- Place asparagus in the pastry shell then pour over the filling. Season with salt and pepper and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until filling is just set.

The second installment of the movie that, arguably, launched Will Smith's big-screen star is set to hit theaters July 3, 2015, according to Screen Rant.
Speaking of Smith, don't expect to see him in the sequel, Screen Rant also reports. The "After Earth" actor recently told BBC News that he does not want to become "the sequel guy," when asked about a proposed follow-up to his movie "I am Legend."
However, two other stars of "Independence Day," Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman, have not ruled out appearing the sequel.
Emmerich told Entertainment Weekly that "ID2" and "3" will be set 20 years after the original film, and the first in the series of sequels will end with a cliffhanger, acting as a setup for the third movie.
Fox's other announcements included release date changes for "Assassin's Creed," "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," and "X-Men Days of Future Past," which has been moved up from July 18, 2014, to May 23, 2014.

Imagine receiving a phone call from an overly friendly stranger claiming you've won a $2 million prize which you may claim after sending a hefty processing fee.
The fee seems worth the grand prize, so you acquiesce, only to receive more calls requesting last-minute payments for taxes, lawyer's fees and even shipping. The caller always is enthusiastic, using your first name and asking about your family.
Before you know it, you've sent thousands of dollars while promises of big prize money, complete with a party presentation and television cameras, never materialize.
Sour from the start, these too-good-to-be-true scams are among the most prevalent types of telemarketing fraud disproportionately targeting older adults.
People 60 and older made up nearly one-third of victims of telemarketing fraud reported to the National Consumer League's National Fraud Information Center in 2006. The average amount lost was about $2,000 -- no small amount for individuals living on fixed incomes.
Various factors may make older adults more vulnerable to crooked telemarketers, such as the fact they are home more often to take calls. However, AARP research has found, overall, older victims are not lonely, isolated or incompetent but often well-educated people who have above-average incomes and are active in their communities.
Although there is no general profile of older victims, a contributing factor in most cases is older adults are simply less skeptical of the voice making the pitch, said Susan Grant, director of the National Fraud Information Center.
"Older people tend to be more trusting and have a hard time imagining the friendly person on the other line could be a hardened criminal bent on obtaining their life savings," she said.
Scam artists use many of the same tactics as legitimate telemarketers -- they are persuasive and pushy, creating a sense of urgency while getting people excited. They also have plausible answers to suspecting questions, Grant said.
Nearly half of all crooks involved in telemarketing scams reported to the NFIC were located in Canada or other countries, making it difficult to track and prosecute them. They also tend to insist victims wire money or have a courier pick up payment, making it difficult to trace the transaction and giving the victim less time to change their mind.
The scams
Fraudulent callers often claim a person has won a prize, sweepstake, lottery, scholarship or even a government grant "for being a good taxpayer" -- but first must pay a fee to collect the gift.
Legitimate sweepstakes and contests do exist, but federal law mandates they cannot request a person to make a purchase or send money to claim a prize. Legitimate sweepstakes also notify winners via certified mail or prize patrol, not by regular mail or phone, Grant said.
Another emerging scam targeting seniors involves a letter sent to the potential victim announcing they have won sweepstakes or lottery money. A phony check is enclosed with a phone number for the person to call for instructions on how to pay customs fees or taxes.
Victims deposit the checks and withdraw money to wire to the crooks. By the time the bank realizes it's a fake check, which can take weeks, the victim already has sent the money and now owes the bank that amount.
Victims usually lose between $3,000 and $4,000 on this and other fake check scams, Grant said.
"The key message here is if somebody wants to give you money but is asking you to send money in return, it's a scam, no ifs, ands or buts," she said.
It may be tempting to believe such an offer, but people need to stop and think about what is happening and not allow themselves to be pressured before acting.
"They really need to ask themselves, 'Is this the way it should work? Why would I be winning something if I don't remember entering anything,'" Grant said.
Lottery scams, for example, often claim a person has won money in a different country, but you can't win a lottery unless you have entered in that country -- and it's the winner's responsibility to come forward.
Also, taxes due on prizes or winnings are paid directly to the federal government, not through a sweepstakes or lottery organization.
People also need to watch out for "phishing" scams from callers pretending to be from a legitimate organization wanting to confirm bank account and credit card numbers or other personal information.
Don't be a victim
Both legitimate and crooked telemarketers are able to target certain people with customized marketing lists compiled by companies using public records and other sources such as warranty cards filled out by individuals in other transactions, Grant said.
Contest boxes placed in malls and other places are another common ploy crooks use to obtain information about people who may be likely victims.
Once people participate in a telemarketing offer, they are placed on additional phone and mailing lists.
People can avoid calls from legitimate telemarketers (except nonprofit groups, charities, political organizations, surveys and companies you do business with) by adding their phone numbers to the National Do Not Call Registry and the Colorado No Call lists.
Crooks likely don't heed these lists, so any telemarketing call should be a red flag of a potential scam.
Older adults suspicious of a sales pitch may seek advice and also verify the authenticity of organizations seeking donations by contacting the NFIC or AARP ElderWatch program. Give.org is another resource for individuals wanting more information about charities.
One of the best ways to avoid becoming a victim of unscrupulous telemarketers is to preplan how to handle their calls -- use an answering machine or caller I.D. to screen calls, decide to hang up on pushy telemarketers or request they give you more time to seek information -- but have a plan, Grant said.
It's also important to keep in mind telemarketing fraud is a multi-billion-dollar business punishable with steep fines and prison sentences. Chances are even the nicest voice on the other end of the phone is up to no good.

Every year the lead up the Super Bowl brings out the best and worst in the media. While the media can provide some great stories it can also pound a story line into the ground (Jerome Bettis is from Detroit, Can the Patriots complete the undefeated season?). While there are some pretty obvious story lines playing out right now, there are also some coming. Here's my rankings of the story lines the coming two weeks.
These Story lines are already annoying the public
"The Harbaugh Brothers"- Did you know these guys are brothers? That their brother-in-law is Indiana basketball coach Tom Crean? That their dad was a football coach? If you didn't already know this you will. My favorite part of this story line so far is that sports fans were sick of this story line before the Ravens-Patriots game even ended. I don't think we'll see a story line beaten more into the ground since the "Jerome Bettis is from Detroit" story line.
"Ray Lewis' Last Stand"- The great linebacker will retire after the Super Bowl and thus his story will be told a lot. We'll see his character dissected like a frog in a high school biology class. We'll hear about Atlanta, two murders, God, how he turned his life around. Everything. I love Ray Lewis, but I'm not looking forward to hearing, reading, and listening to his complete story.
This is an on going story line that has annoyed people for weeks now
"Harbaugh made the right decision with Kaepernick"- My God does this story annoy the hell out of me. And it's been talked about every week since Kaepernick became the full time starter. This is another story line that will be dissected for two weeks with people like Kornheiser saying, "I feel sorry for Alex Smith because he did nothing wrong.".
This hasn't been talked about yet, but it could gain steam and annoy you.
"Randy Moss' Last Stand"- Hidden by the Ray Lewis story line, this one wouldn't surprise me if it gains steam in the 2nd week of the super bowl lead up. Randy Moss is old and this could also be his last game in the NFL. Like I said it wouldn't surprise me if Moss gets the Ray Lewis character dissection during the 2nd week.
"Ed Reed Returns Home"- This story line will probably be buried at first but it's another story line that wouldn't surprise me if it gained steamed in the 2nd week. Ed Reed grew up outside of New Orleans so this is like a homecoming for him. While I don't think we will be brow beaten with this story like "Jerome Bettis is from Detroit", I'm sure it will annoy us at some point.
Puff Pieces- I'm almost sure these guys will receive the usual puff pieces some players receive during the Super Bowl weeks.
Frank Gore: He was there through the rough years!
Joe Flacco: He is elite!
Alex Smith: The faithful bride to Kaepernick!
Patrick Willis: Did you know he was raised by foster parents?
Terrell Suggs: They can't go two weeks without giving this guy a puff piece.
What story lines did I miss that you think will be a big part of the coming two weeks?

Only one I can think of is "The Blind Side" guy playing in the Super Bowl. I wouldn't be surprised if ET or Access Hollywood somehow manages to have Sandra Bullock & Michael Oher do an interview together, while glossing over the fact Oher is useless defending said blind side.

My favorite has to be the fact that pitchers and catchers report to Scottsdale not too soon after the game so I can no longer be angry with most of my fellow Giants fans #hatersgonnahate

Status Report
From: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Posted: Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Saturn's north polar hexagon basks in the Sun's light now that spring has come to the northern hemisphere. Many smaller storms dot the north polar region and Saturn's signature rings, which appear to disappear on account of Saturn's shadow, put in an appearance in the background.
The image was taken with the Cassini spacecraft's wide-angle camera on Nov. 27, 2012 using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of near-infrared light centered at 750 nanometers.
The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 403,000 miles (649,000 kilometers) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 21 degrees. Image scale is 22 miles (35 kilometers) per pixel.

The Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars Website has a new teaser trailer from Quake Wars Online, a subscription-free online edition of Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars being developed for the Korean market. They also point out the game's official website is enlisting 100,000 beta testers, and to participate one should probably have a working knowledge of the Korean language at the very least, though living in Korea is probably that much more optimal.

UPDATE: A law enforcement official said that the gun recovered at the scene of the Kimani Gray shooting was traced to Florida. Police do not know when or how it was brought here, but said it was not previously reported stolen. The surveillance video on the left, provided by police, comes from the RiteAid that was raided during the riot. [videoembed id=120705]
Gray's first arrest was in September of last year, for stealing a car. His most recent arrest was for petit larceny, two weeks ago.
Councilman Jumaane Williams, who represents the neighborhood of East Flatbush where last night's riot took place, released a statement condemning the "violence caused to property or to person," but also said that the action "was not about the details of one shooting."
"It spoke to the overwhelming frustration that people are living through day after day," Williams said. "We have talked about the corrosive relationship between our community and the NYPD, but still the Mayor and the Commissioner have failed to address the root causes of this tension."
He urged Mayor Michael Bloomberg and NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly to join him on a walk around his district today "to see the situation first-hand and address constituents who demand real reform."
Kelly reportedly said at a city council meeting this morning on the public safety budget that he has been to the community numerous times.
Stefan Ringel, a spokesman for Councilman Williams, said that is untrue.
"He has been to precincts around our community, but he has not come to our community," Ringel insisted.
Ringel added that they are still calling on Kelly to visit the community, but have not received a response.
Williams quoted Martin Luther King, Jr., saying "a riot is the language of the unheard."
"We must channel [our anger] constructively and send a clear message to City Hall and One Police Plaza that change must come," Williams said. "Without [change] I fear this will be a long and bloody summer ahead."
According to Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne, "Commissioner Kelly was there last night."
Browne said Kelly meets regularly with a group called the NYPD Brooklyn Clergy Coalition, "a group of black ministers who came to the Commissioner to volunteer their assistance in combating black-on-black violence."
Browne said members of the group "instrumental in calming things down last night."
Jumaane Williams' spokesman Stefan Ringel said that Browne must have been speaking of the 67th Precinct Clergy Council, whose members were present during the unrest.
Metro's original story is below.
A vigil for a 16-year-old boy who was shot and killed by police officers this weekend ended in a violent riot in East Flatbush Monday night, with shattered car windows, trashed stores and some local residents being assaulted.
About 200 people had gathered to mourn Kimani Gray, who was shot Saturday night after he pointed a gun at two police officers.
At about 9 p.m. on Monday, a group left the main ceremony and began ransacking local stores, according to the New York Post.
The manager of a Rite Aid told the Post that he was punched in the face and a few other people were also assaulted.
Gray's family said the teen did not own a gun and do not believe the cops' story about what happened. Law enforcement officials said Gray was a reputed member of the Bloods gang and fellow gang members are angry over his death.
Gray had four previous arrests, including charges of grand larceny.

Fans were out in force over the weekend, with thousands packing the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre for the Supanova Pop Culture Expo.
Like previous years, many wore handcrafted costumes depicting their favourite characters from comics, video games, movies or television.

'It's like a nerdapalooza!' Supanova takes over Perth
Check out the buzz at this year's Supanova Pop Culture Expo - are you in the crowd?
"It's awesome, it's a nerdapalooza. You don't get this kind of atmosphere anywhere else, you just let your geek flag fly," said cosplayer Ryan Mitchell.
"I made my costume, Sora from [role playing game] Kingdom Hearts. I've spent countless hours spent in front of it, it was time well spent."
Shawn Hisey has taken cosplay [short for costume roleplay] to a new level, establishing a Star Wars inspired Rebel Legion.
"There are three or so Star Wars groups. There's the 501st legion who are the bad guys, the Rebels who are the good guys and the Mercs who are neutral," he said.
"The idea is we use the Star Wars brand to show our fandom of the movies, the cartoons, the books but also we use these to promote charities on behalf of Lucasfilm."
Mr Hisey said he hoped the expo would encourage more people to join the volunteer group.
"This is a lot of fun for all of us, the biggest thing is putting together the costumes. Parents seem to love it the most, they recognise who we are," he said.
"People get to see all of these things they love here, be it Doctor Who or Star Wars. It's an excuse to lose yourself in the fantasy just for a little while."
For others, Supanova is a chance to cash in on their hobbies or promote their businesses. Andrew Leitch from Western Leathercraft said some of the products on sale at the expo can be problematic, such as replica swords and axes.
"Mostly, we have to worry if people are going to catch the train and so we tell them to keep it packaged going home, otherwise it could cause a bit of distress for people," he said.
"Other than that we have to make sure they're 18, not for the rubber swords, but we prefer to sell these kinds of things to people over 18."
Alex Tayler was one of many who spent hours in queue, hoping for a chance to meet one of the guest stars appearing at the expo.
Mr Tayler said he was there to meet actress Ming-Na Wen - a photo with her cost fans $50.
"I'll put it in my folder with all of my other autographs and photos. I've got Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver), Amanda Tapping [Stargate], Jason Momoa [Stargate, Game of Thrones] and Jill Wagner [Stargate]," he said.
"I like getting the autographs, seeing people dress up, seeing what shops are here. I'll look at buying something for my steampunk costume I'm working on."

"Families are the compass that guide us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter."
- Brad Henry
Quote of the Day.
Mondays are the day when many of us look at the week ahead, determine the work that needs to be completed, and set our direction accordingly. This makes today's quote by Brad Henry a perfect fit.
One aspect of our lives that our culture often neglects is family. This happens, in part, because we add family onto the direction of our lives, rather than basing the direction of our lives on our family. If we use our family as the compass that guides us, we don't need to worry about making time for family – that time is built in. Instead of squeezing in family time, we are squeezing in the other activities of our lives.
What is the end result? The end result is that family comes first. Other life priorities – career, possessions and hobbies fill in the rest. The results will probably surprise you. You may discover that you really don't need to join league softball this summer to maintain relations with your buddies. You may discover that you can fit all of your work into an 8-hour day.
In other words, we find our lives more complete and balanced despite these changes. In fact, our lives are more balanced because of them!
If we use our families as a compass to guide us and the inspiration to drive us, we will find ourselves achieving more in the other areas of our lives – not less.

A celebrity sex tape is typically an amateur pornographic video recording involving one or more famous person(s) which has been, intentionally or unintentionally, made available publicly.
Such tapes are often released without consent of their subjects and could potentially damage celebrities' careers. In 1988 a sex tape caused significant damage to Rob Lowe's career.[1] However, in recent years many celebrities have benefited from the publicity of the release of a sex tape.[2] The release of Paris Hilton's sex tape in 2003 as well as Kim Kardashian's sex tape in 2007 brought them to a new level of fame, leading to magazine covers, book deals, and reality TV series.
The surfacing of sex tapes has become so common that some are "leaked" as a marketing tool to advance or establish a media career.[1] A celebrity can fight the release in court to maintain deniability while still feeling the career benefits. In contrast, a celebrity may take the route of openly releasing the tape and benefit directly from royalties as well as indirectly from the publicity. In 2004 professional wrestler Chyna and her husband entered into a distribution deal with Red Light District Video for their home video. Chyna later was cast on the VH1 reality show The Surreal Life.
The current public acceptance of celebrities with sex tapes is speculated by Joe Levy, executive editor of Rolling Stone, to be due to the easy availability of pornography, as well as couples more commonly making their own tapes due to the prevalence of video cameras

CFMEU - Mining and Energy Division
Urgent Action needed to defend workers at La Platosa mine
Members of Gómez Sada Union, with support of Excellon Resources, Inc. staff, burn down protest camp at the La Platosa mine and threaten human rights defenders.
La Sierrita Camp, October 24, 2012. At 6:30 am this morning, around 180 members of the Mining Union Don Napoleón Gómez Sada (Gómez Sada Union) violently destroyed the peaceful camp which landowners of the Ejido La Sierrita and workers from the Local 309 of the National Mining Union have maintained outside the La Platosa mine for the last three months. The mine is owned and operated by a subsidiary of Canadian mining company Excellon Resources, Inc.
The members of the Gómez Sada Union arrived in six buses, including a bus adorned with the logo of Excellon Resources, Inc. They were armed with sticks and rocks. The large majority of Gómez Sada Union members present were not workers in the Excellon mine but arrived from the neighboring state Zacatecas.
Robert Moore, Chief Operating Officer of Excellon Resources, Inc., directly participated in the violent action against the landowners, pulling down the fence that the landowners had set up to protect their camp. Through this breach in the fence, several members of the Gómez Sada Union moved in with heavy machinery.
The Gómez Sada Union members immediately began to destroy and burn down the protesters' temporary housing. Several members of this group threatened the landowners stating, "We have orders to remove you, even if there is violence or death, just as happened in Coahuila."
A municipal police truck was present at the site but did nothing to stop the Gómez Sada Union's violent acts. Throughout the morning, three trucks with military and federal police officers also arrived at the scene but did not intervene. Yesterday, the municipal police of Mapimí, where the mine is located, threatened the landowners that they would forcefully remove them this Thursday.
The landowners and workers in the camp reacted peacefully. At this moment the aggressors have surrounded the landowners without letting them leave the location. This act of violence is one of many that have occurred in the last three months. The Federal and State governments are aware of the situation but have not taken sufficient measures to secure the physical integrity and lives of the landowners and workers in the protest camp.
This recent repression by the company, in collusion with the federal, state and municipal governments, violates the rights of the protestors to defend their human rights as established in articles, 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13 of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Defenders and Article 6 of the Mexican Constitution. Furthermore, the right to land and control of land of the landowners is established in Article 27 of the Mexican Constitution and Article 100 of the Agrarian Law. Similarly, the company is violating the right to freedom of association of the workers in the Local 309 established in Article 123, Section XVI of Chapter A of the Mexican Constitution. Finally, the company fails to comply with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the United Nations Guiding Principles of Business and Human Rights.
We urge the Mexican government to comply with its obligation to respect and guarantee the human rights of the landowners of La Sierrita, workers of the Local 309 and the members of ProDESC in the following manner:
For these reasons, the signatory organizations demand that:
1. Immediate measures to guarantee the security and physical integrity of the ejidatarios and workers that are living in the peaceful camp in front of the La Platosa mine.
2. A guarantee that the ejidatarios of La Sierrita, the workers of the Local 309 and the members of ProDESC will be able to exercise their legitimate right to protest the noncompliance of the Ejido's land rental contract and the workers' right to freedom of association.
3. The immediate removal of third-party actors unrelated to the conflict to avoid continued acts of repression against the landowners and workers of the Local 309.

Body mass index (BMI) is a number that expresses your weight in relation to your height. A BMI that falls into the "normal" range means that your weight is in reasonable proportion to your height.
Interactive BMI Calculator
An interactive online tool to calculate your BMI and interpret the results is available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The BMI formula
BMI can be calculated with either metric units (meters and kilograms) or standard ("English") units (inches and pounds).
The standard-unit formula to calculate your BMI is:
- start with your weight in pounds
- divide it by your height in inches squared
- multiply the result by 703
For example, the BMI for a person 5'3'' tall who weighs 140 pounds is:
- 140 divided by 63 x 63 = 0.0353 x 703 = 24.7.
The categories for BMI are:
Underweight |
Less than 18.5 |
Normal weight |
18.5 – 24.9 |
Overweight |
25 – 29.9 |
Obese |
30 or greater |

Tibetan MPs meet senior leaders, Speak at IIT, Madras
[Monday, January 28, 2013 18:42]
Former Chief Election Commissioner TN Sheshan meeting with Tibetan MPs in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
DHARAMSHALA, January 28: A Tibetan parliamentary delegation on a lobbying tour of south India met with eminent personalities in the state of Tamil Nadu and spoke at leading educational institutions including IIT, Madras.
The south India Tibetan parliamentary delegation concluded the final leg of their month long lobbying campaign in Chennai, following successful efforts in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Trivandrum, and Pondicherry.
The Tibetan MPs have been lobbying for international intervention and support from the Indian government and its people for the peaceful resolution of the ongoing crisis in Tibet. Since 2009, nearly 100 known Tibetans have set themselves on fire protesting Chinese rule and demanding freedom and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile.
In the Tamil Nadu capital of Chennai, the Tibetan MPs called on former Chief Election Commissioner of India and the Ramon Magsaysay Award winner TN Seshan.
The delegation submitted a memorandum and apprised him of the critical situation inside Tibet. The former fierce bureaucrat assured the delegates that India will "definitely do its best to support Tibet" and said: "Truth shall prevail and Tibet will ultimately regain its glory. So keep up the fight."
The six Tibetan MPs met another former CEC, TS Krishna Murthy, who expressed his disapproval of the self-immolation protests.
"But I am equally worried and concerned about the situation in Tibet. I hope we could do something concrete to help resolve the Tibetan crisis. I shed my tears for the Tibetans in Tibet," Murthy said.
The delegates then called on Cho Ramaswamy, a former MP and a noted journalist, widely regarded as the political guru of Chief Minister Jayalalitha.
Cho, while expressing his support for Tibet noted India's helplessness as a friend of Tibet due to its own problems with China.
"Public opinion must be built on the issue of Tibet. I will surely write more on Tibet in the future," Cho assured.
The Tibetan delegation then addressed the students of the prestigious IIT Madras hosted by Dr Sudarshan Padmanabhan, Associate Professor of Dept of Humanities and Social Sciences.
Tibetan MP and member of the delegation, Lobsang Yeshi addressed the students and delved into the current situation in Tibet, especially the critical situation leading to the spate of self-immolations.
He spoke on China's "unabated political repression, religious persecution, and cultural assimilation" of Tibetans in Tibet and elaborated on China's "vicious designs of demographic aggression in Tibet, forceful removal of Tibetan nomads and farmers, exploitation of mineral resources, and militarisation of Tibet aimed at total annihilation of Tibetan race."
He also urged the youths of India to be wary of China's anti-India containment policies and the threats posed to its national security.
Later, the delegates also spoke at the University of Madras. Prof Dr Ramu Manivannan, head of Department of Political Science hosted and presided over the presentation. In his welcome speech, Dr Mani briefed the audience about his long association with the Tibetan cause and the need for concerted efforts in promoting the issue of Tibet amongst the Indian public.
He emphasised that Tibetan students have "national goals to fulfill and should not be carried away by personnel ambitions."
The Tibetan MPs also called upon the Human Rights Commissioners of the State Human Rights Commission Tamil Nadu, Chairman Dr K Baskaran, Commissioner T Rajendran, ADGP (IPS,Retd.) and Commissioner Mrs Jayanthi, IAS.(Retd.).
The delegates screened a documentary on the current situation in Tibet and also apprised them on the ongoing human rights crisis.
According to Yeshi, the commissioners expressed their concern about the "deteriorating condition" in Tibet and assured that the Commission will "raise the issue at every national platform."

Product Support for the disks: Hello :) Okay, lets start on the assumption that we can get your disk to work. I'll walk you through the solutions here. If none of these solutions work, or if you don't want to mess with it and just get a refund, that is certainly okay too. If you want a refund, just email Belinda. Her address is BelindaGVicars(at)AOL.com. I've been selling this disk (with occasional updates) for over 15 years now (started as VHS tapes) and will keep at it in one form or another for as long as my health. My goal is for you to be (very) satisfied and for me to have a bit of income to support the ASLU website (Lifeprint.com). Belinda (my lovely, talented wife) checks each disk before she sends them out. If the disk doesn't work in your computer it is usually something that can be solved. There is a slight chance that the disk got damaged in transport but that is very rare.
More Advice:
Sometimes there is an issue with "codecs." Your media player uses "compression / decompression" software to handle video files. It can often "go get" the correct file from the internet on its own, (it can update its "codec" for .wmv files). This is a very normal thing and can be done automatically for you via the internet. Open up Media Player (Microsoft) and can click on "Tools" and then choose "OPTIONS" then choose the PLAYER tab. One the "player" window look to see the "Download codecs automatically" check box and make sure it is checked. Then connect to the internet. Then try to play the disk. If you have an older codec, Media Player goes to the internet to download an updated codec so your computer will be able to play the latest files.
A student writes: "Yeah! I finally got it. I had to change it to "read all files." Thanks!"
Support for Apple Macs:
I believe if you download Adobe's "Flash" player it will probably solve any video issues. See: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Also see item number 4 at: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html That should "do it" but if you still have problems, see: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html Cordially,
Dr. Bill
Other possible issue:
Bill, I recently ordered and received the disk. I was expecting to be able to use it like asl.ms to read fingerspelling at different speeds, but I can't seem to make it work. I ordered the disk because my office computer is blocked from visiting the asl.ms website anymore because of the video streaming and my home computer is way to slow. Are there any instructions for using the disk, which files to access for what, etc.? Thanks, Dana
If you are using a Microsoft Window's based computer and if you haven't already done so, please use Microsoft's free and (relatively) easy update process. You should do this for no other reason than just to make your computer run better and be safer from hackers. You can update your operating system (Windows versions) by going to this address: http://update.microsoft.com and use the update function to make sure you have all the latest service packs and patches including the most recent version of Internet Explorer.
Next, make sure you have a good "media player." Download the latest version of Microsoft's "Windows Media Player." Don't worry, the process is relatively simple. Just go to: http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer Note: even if you weren't having problems with your disks it is generally a good idea to do the above "updating" if for no other reason than to help avoid viruses, worms, and trojans.
Macintosh (Apple) compatibility: Some macs can run the disks directly, some can't. In your circumstance I recommend we try opening the disks on a PC compatible computer and then copying them to a USB thumb drive. The disks are a few hundred MB each, so depending on the capacity of your thumb drive you might have to make a few trips between computers. Or if you have a high capacity thumb drive you can just use the disks from the thumb drive wherever you go on whatever computer you happen to be at. Using the thumb drive, copy the disks to individual folders your Mac and then open the "index" file at the root of each disk folder to "start" the disk interface. At that point they should behave like web pages. If after you copy the disks to your local computer and you open the files and click on the "video" (quiz) link suppose the video doesn't play--it is likely due to your computer wanting to know what program to use to play the videos. You might need to associate the .wmv (video) files with "MediaPlayer" from Microsoft. It might be easy, or you might need to go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/ and get the version of -MediaPlayer that fits your operating system.

If you want to understand what's really happening in Washington, you have to be able to see through the spin. The spin on the fiscal cliff is that it's an epic battle of wills between two evenly matched forces: Democrats, who want to raise taxes and cut spending, and Republicans, who refuse to budge on taxes. But that's not really accurate. In the current issue of Bloomberg Businessweek, I explain why Obama and the Democrats have all the leverage and how that is likely to affect the outcome of the struggle. Since that piece was published, the president, House Speaker John Boehner, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell have all weighed in with their thoughts. To my ear, everything they said reinforced what I wrote.
Rather than an epic struggle between two parties, the fiscal cliff is better understood as three smaller struggles, each involving one of the key players. All three kicked off in earnest this weekend—their outcome will determine how the fiscal cliff is resolved. Here's what to watch for in the days and weeks ahead.
Can Obama Persuade the Country? Obama won a second term, but despite the claims of some Democrats, he didn't win a mandate. What he won is the chance to use the leverage of the fiscal cliff's expiring Bush tax cuts and automatic spending cuts to try to reshape the budget to his liking. But that could well entail going over the cliff—and there's no guarantee that the public will rally to his side. That's why Obama did two things over the weekend. First, he reiterated his desire to decouple the Bush tax cuts for the rich (which he wants to end) from the Bush tax cuts for everybody else (which he wants to extend). Second, he let it be known that he'll be campaigning across the country on behalf of this idea. What he's really doing is trying to shape public opinion so that if we go over the cliff, Republicans in the House will be viewed as blocking his extension of the Bush cuts for the middle class and thereby forcing everybody's taxes to go up. The proposition is that if he's successful, public pressure will force Republicans to fold and cut a deal he likes.
Can John Boehner Control the Tea Party? House Speaker Boehner has the hardest job in Washington. Immediately after the election, he struck a "conciliatory tone" on the fiscal cliff, as the New York Times put it, and then told ABC News that Obamacare was the "law of the land" and wouldn't be repealed. Boehner had to walk some of this back when a few members revolted. But he stuck to his guns in a weekend conference call with his caucus, telling them to get in line. Boehner's challenge is essentially to lead his angry, disillusioned caucus out of the land of Tea Party make-believe where they've dwelled the past couple of years—a land where you can just say "no" to tax increases and win every time—and toward the realization that Obama holds most of the cards. If Republicans refuse to bargain, taxes will go up, and they're likely to pay a steep price (see above). Boehner knows this. What remains to be seen is if he can get the right wing of his caucus to accept this, too.
Can Mitch McConnell Protect His Right Flank? Senate Minority Leader McConnell was the chief architect of the Republican strategy to deny Obama a second term—a strategy that failed. Ordinarily, McConnell's ruthless pragmatism would be applied to steering his party away from the precipice of the fiscal cliff. But the day after the election, McConnell came out with an aggressive statement sharply at odds with Boehner's note of conciliation: "The voters have not endorsed the failures or excesses of the president's first term, they have simply given him more time to finish the job they asked him to do together with a Congress that restored balance to Washington after two years of one-party control." McConnell sounded as averse to new taxes as any member of the Tea Party. That's no accident: McConnell is up for reelection in 2014, meaning that he could draw a primary challenger as early as next year if he angers the Tea Party movement. That's what happened to Trey Grayson, his hand-picked choice to fill Kentucky's open Senate seat in 2010, who was challenged by Rand Paul and lost. If McConnell doesn't feel he can manage the twin imperatives of protecting his party from disaster and saving his own career, he might opt to focus only on the latter—which would increase the odds that things blow up.

Investors pushed U.S. stocks back to around the flatline, erasing deep morning losses, following a raft of political remarks on the fiscal negotiations in Washington.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 11 points, or 0.1%, to 12890, following two days of losses. The blue-chip index rebounded sharply after having fallen as many as 113 points in the first hour of trading.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, meantime, was off one point, or 0.1%, to 1398, while the Nasdaq Composite gave up two points, or 0.1%, to 2965.
Pulling on the downside were telecommunications and materials stocks, following a drop in gold prices early in the day. J.P. Morgan Chase led the Dow decliners, and AT&T pulled back.
Offsetting those declines were gains in consumer staples and consumer discretionary stocks. Hewlett-Packard led the advancers, while American Express also rose.
Political developments in Washington cast a shadow over the day. Stocks have been under pressure recently, thanks in large part to fears that Congressional leaders could fail to avert the fiscal cliff, a series of spending cuts and tax hikes set to go into effect at the start of 2013. On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said there had been little progress in Congressional negotiations, helping push the Dow down 89 points, or 0.7%.
On Wednesday, Erskine Bowles, the co-chairman of a high-profile fiscal commission, expressed pessimism about a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff, according to various media reports. That helped push stocks lower, with the Dow off 113 points at its nadir. Just minutes later, however, House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said he was optimistic on a deal. That helped stocks pare their losses.
"The markets want to believe that a deal will be struck. How lasting this deal would be—could it be a six-month or a 12-month deal—we don't know, but the markets are starting to lean in the direction of some sort of an agreement," said Myles Zyblock, chief institutional strategist for RBC Capital Markets in Toronto.
Despite the optimism, Mr. Zyblock remained concerned that the partisan bickering could trigger a downgrade of the U.S. government by a ratings agency, akin to Standard & Poor's decision to strip the U.S. of its triple-A rating after August 2011′s fiscal debate.
Data on new home sales for October, meantime, missed estimates as the previous month's figures were revised downward, a sign that the housing recovery remains uneven.
At 2 p.m., the Federal Reserve's "beige book" report of economic conditions will be released. Economists will be looking for comments about the effect of Hurricane Sandy, along with impacts of the fiscal cliff.
European markets recouped morning losses, in line with the U.S. gains. The Stoxx Europe 600 inched up 0.1%. The region's markets were also buoyed by a well-received Italian debt auction in which six-month Treasury bills were sold at the lowest average yield since April 2010. Separately, the European Union approved restructuring plans for four Spanish lenders, which will allow the lenders to receive funding from the European Stability Mechanism.
Asian markets were broadly lower as fiscal cliff worries spread, with Japan's Nikkei Stock Average shedding 1.2% and China's Shanghai Composite dropping 0.9% to a near four-year low.
Crude oil futures pared their losses but still traded about 1.2% lower at about $86.10 a barrel, while gold gave up about 1.5% to around $1,715 an ounce. Some traders linked the sudden drop in gold prices, which came at about 8:30 a.m. EST, to a monthly rotation of futures contracts that may have been tripped up by the Thanksgiving holiday. The fall in gold prices was followed by a similar slide in oil prices about half an hour later.
The dollar rose against the euro but fell against the yen. Demand for Treasurys rose, sending the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down to 1.62%.
In corporate news, shares of Costco Wholesale rallied after the wholesale-club operator said it will pay a special dividend of $7 a share and reported November same-store sales that beat expectations.
Knight Capital Group surged on an offer from high-speed trading firm Getco for $3.50 a share in cash and stock.
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters soared after the company's quarterly earnings and revenue easily beat expectations, benefiting from stronger sales of K-Cup coffee and tea portion packs. Green Mountain also provided a current-quarter earnings outlook that was higher than analyst projections.
Groupon advanced after The Wall Street Journal reported that the company's board of directors would meet Thursday to discuss whether to begin a search for a new chief executive, citing a person briefed on the matter.
Fresh Market slumped after the specialty grocer met quarterly earnings forecasts but provided a somewhat downbeat full-year outlook.
American Eagle Outfitters climbed after the teen retailer posted higher-than-expected net sales and stronger margins. The company also raised its earnings guidance for the year.
Express rallied after the retailer reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and provided a current-quarter outlook that was topped analyst projections, boosted by a strong Black Friday performance.
U.S.-listed shares of BP PLC fell after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said it temporarily barred the oil company from new contracts with the government due to "lack of business integrity as demonstrated by the company's conduct with regard to the Deepwater Horizon blowout, explosion, oil spill, and response."

About this font family
Folio was designed by Konrad F. Bauer and Walter Baum and appeared with the Bauer font foundry (Bauersche Gießerei) in 1957. The designers based their ideas on Helvetica but Folio did not turn out to pose the competition they had hoped. The font has the same applications as Helvetica and is an extremely legible font. Folio is particularly good for text and has an objective, neutral character.

As spring training takes off, we, the wonderful people of Razzball, thought it would be a good idea to look into some intra-team rivalries. What positions are a lock? What positions are being fought over? What positions will they hire me to fill-in for (second base Blue Jays, I'm looking at you)? Find out as the second part of this series will focus on AL Central… (You can check out the NL East Spring Training Preview here.)
Please, blog, may I have some more?Brian Duensing
Winning is defined differently through the annuls of our time. I mean Chuck Sheen uses it because winning is banging a gaggle of porn stars. Winning in fantasy baseball is fake, but it really isn't. It's getting with the trends and knowing when to throw out your IOU sweatshirts because Champion ones are cool now. Winning NSVH and straight holds leagues is no different. Follow winning trends. Look at the schedule, who plays Miami or Houston. What bullpens have been cold blooded, or just be lazy and ask me. I have useless amounts of brain… wait check that. I have a dwindling amount of brain cells at your disposal. So go with the trends of who is garnering holds, and don't be afraid to add/drop a ton, they are only RP, a new one comes up every other week that gets 3-4 holds in a week then fades into the blue like the end of "Shane". So enjoy the week to come and good luck.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The week was going swimmingly, with inflatable swim muscles, I may add, then Kevin Gregg showed up and said "Oh, I thought everyone wore these glasses now." I don't trust Kevin for 2 reasons, closers come and closers go (Kyuji is coming back) so add that into your closer entree like a good splash of adobo. The second reason is he has two first names, I'm sorry, it's a phobia of mine ever since I went to school with a kid named Ferris Ferris. No I didn't stutter, that's a true story. Next we move to Boston, where Joe-L is returning from the DL; John Farrell has said what is typical, we will see what happens. My 2 cents is that Bailey keeps it until he falters or Hanrahan whines enough to make a stink. If I could call Joel, this is how the convo would go. Sup Joel. Who is this? Then I would hang up and not answer when he star 69's me. I do that cause I don't like people messin' around on my phone. Lastly this week, I have moved Jim Johnson, minus his cult following, into the top tier. He has shown me enough to warrant a bump up. The games he pitches in are showing the confidence that Buck has in him, like a great illegitimate dad would in his Maury Povich type son. The bump over Papelbon is based purely on stats and accumulation right now, Paps just isn't seeing the chances that some other closers are seeing and that inevitably hurts my feelings and his stats/value. Enjoy the week as if you were listening to the soundtrack from Rocky 4, what could get better than that.? If you said that talking robot Pauly got, then we are on the same page my friend.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I wish I was a mathematician or at least had one of those rad looking calculator watches. For now I will remain myself and take random, yet seasoned guesses at this thing that we covet so much, the save. It's the only position that every person garnering save capability is owned in every league no matter how big or small, which makes it fun. They say all the fun is the chase, I guess that's why I am bored with so many people tied up in my Gam-Gam's basement. Digression, segue, punctuation. The Royals, or for better reference, Greg Holland, has figured out his mojo, while all of us hoping for a heated up Kelvin to pounce are reduced to wait for a Holland-days off. I am glad that Holland has shown what we all thought he could be, albeit for one glorious day. Two in a row is a winning streak, so said Lou Brown. So onto the rankings of closers and some of their 'cuffs. This week's random weird but true factoid, the Phillies are 13 games into the season and do not have a hold by any pitcher on their team. Put that in your cheese steak and smoke it
Please, blog, may I have some more?Much like the more ballyhooed Closer Report, the alternate week Bullpen Report covers everything that those dudes who get quality starts don't. It's starting again, in case you haven't noticed, and no, I am not talking about those unfortunate flare-ups that you cover with medicated ointment, bullpens are in flux. So you get a little of the saves, some of the holds, and some of me just ranting. Ugh, the situation for closers is an ugly ever-changing conundrum. This week's cluster F belongs to the St. Louis Cardinals. Mitchell Boggs goes all Chernobyl on your weekly ERA and just falls apart. Have no fear as Trevor Rosenthal didn't look much better. Boggs is still the guy you want here, Motte isn't coming through that door anytime soon and no one else has the label as go to guy in the bullpen yet. So sit tight and just enjoy this closer-coaster with no seat belt. Here's what I got this week, some sleeper Holds guys with improving, yet slightly arousing situations, and some other run downs on teams' closer situations.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Gird your loins – we're going to be navigating positions battles in each division. Last week, I covered the NL East. Today I'm talking about the AL Central, which actually looks fairly interesting this year. At first glance, the Tigers should run away with the division. At a slightly closer glance, the Indians, Royals, and White Sox all appear to be trying to contend. Who knows? Maybe Verlander's arm will fall off after pitching over 1,000 innings across the past four seasons, while Miggy and Fielder enter a 24/7 all-you-can-eat buffet in Vegas and never return. Anyway, here's some of the position battles to keep an eye on in the AL Central:
Please, blog, may I have some more?I hate regression, my hairline does it every day. Though subtly, like a ninja assassin, as it mocks me in the mirror when I'm brushing my teeth. Pitcher regression is a known entity. We all assume it will happen, but when and where is the big query. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Please, blog, may I have some more?What a distracting week. Football comes in and trumps all of the trade deadline thunder, and I'm getting sick of seeing "Mr. Mackey" give football updates. If I have to explain that joke, then it really wasn't that funny. So back to the sport that is actually being played. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Please, blog, may I have some more?It's a confusing week for me to grasp. Some formats are a short week, others role on until literally the middle (or end) of next week. So first things first, I will tackle the short 4 game week and give you some unbridled gems of the streaming variety. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Master Standings are here.
The tight battle continues at the top of the standings, with 6 teams totaling 105 or more points. The Pesky Pole Dancers (Trippin' Baseballs) held on to first place, gaining 3 points to 112. The Dancers made 2 moves, replacing Jose Tabata and Ike Davis with Jason Kubel and Cory Luebke. Please, blog, may I have some more?

I finally started building a Carl Goldberg Senior Falcon. I've never had one, but have flown others' airplanes. I've always wanted one because they are such good flyers, and excellent general-purpose models. The kit's been discontinued for quite a while, so I'm building it from the plans. The kit is one of those where you can easily use the plans to build and entire model, if you've put a few together. There's enough information to make wing ribs, fuselage formers, and all the other assorted parts.
Let's get into the build.
I started-out by thoroughly examining the plans. You want to be very familiar with your modeling subject when you start a plans-build.
Then, you have to decide where you want to start
I decided to do the wing first, so I traced the shape of a rib,
and then transferred it to plywood.
This is an easy thing to do, and you don't need to be perfectly-accurate. After all, you DO have sandpaper to fine-tune things.
Next, we'll cut out the template and make some ribs. See you next post!

Bruce Amspacher - February 24, 1999
Silver Dollars (1794-1873) -- The first 80 years of this denomination are filled with great rarities. The most famous coin of this era, the 1804 dollar, was actually struck in 1834.
The Flowing Hair design was issued in 1794-95, followed by the Draped Bust, Small Eagle (1795-98) and the Draped Bust, Large Eagle (1798-03). The 1804 dollar is also of the Draped Bust, Large Eagle design.
In 1836 some beautiful pattern coins called "Gobrecht dollars" were minted (1836-39), and then the Liberty Seated dollar was introduced in 1840 and continued through 1873.
While several impressive date collections have been assembled over the years, these dollars are usually collected by type due to the expense. Proofs collections usually begin with the coins from the mid-1850s.
Trade Dollars -- This fascinating series contains silver dollar-sized coins that were minted in the US but intended for trade in the Orient. They were issued from 1873 through 1878 for business purposes, then proof-only dates were struck for collectors from 1879 through 1883. At a later date the extremely rare and valuable 1884 and 1885 Trade dollars were clandestinely struck.
Proofs are usually collected of the 1873-83 issues (with the 1884 and 1885 being ignored), and business strike sets are frequently collected with "chopmarks " on them. These chopmarks were placed on the coins by merchants and others to denote ownership and/or to steal a little silver before the coin was passed to the next owner.
Morgan Dollars -- America loves the Morgan dollar! Issued from 1878 through 1904 (and again in 1921), this series rivals the Lincoln cent as the most popular in the world. While the rarity of the coins in this series ranges from ultra-common to almost impossible (depending on the condition being sought), the high demand leads to strong prices willingly paid by avid collectors.
Sets are assembled by date, by mintmark (one Morgan dollar from each of the five Mints or all of the examples from one particular Mint), by die variety, by date in proof...and on and on. Some sets are assembled with each coin being toned, other sets are filled exclusively with prooflike coins, and...as mentioned earlier, on and on. The Morgan dollar collector is versatile, inventive, and filled with dedication and perseverance.
Peace Dollars -- This set is another that has a large following of collectors. Issued from 1921 through 1935, these coins are a challenge, with many dates being weakly struck, among other problems.
A date collection comprises 24 coins from all years and Mints. The 1921 was struck in high relief, creating a one-year type coin.
Eisenhower and Susan B. Anthony Dollars -- These short series are popular with collectors on a budget. Much of the attention is paid to die varieties and coins of different composition. Collecting proofs, especially pieces with cameo contrast, is also popular.
