A 1939 editorial in the Vancouver Sun editorial blamed the large number of traffic accidents on the Big Bend Highway near Revelstoke on prairie drivers. "Travelling to Vancouver they have the outside of the road, theoretically," wrote the Sun. "But in practice most of them take the middle or hug the inside. It's the mental hazard that gets them after years of travel on the broad prairie." The Winnipeg Tribune fired back that Manitoba drivers on BC highways "are being pushed into the ditch by erratic coast drivers." Moreover, Winnipeg had recently gone 288 consecutive days without a single traffic fatality, despite being "over-run with goofy pedestrians who ignore all safety rules about crossing the street."
Unwilling to play second fiddle to Winnipeg, the Sun took the Tribune's comments as a challenge and, in conjunction with the Traffic Safety Council, launched "100 Deathless Days." The idea was to cajole the city's motorists to be extra cautious for 100 consecutive days beginning 1 July 1939.
On July 3, the men behind the campaign were congratulating themselves for making it through an entire holiday weekend with no fatalities and only minor traffic injuries. Mayor Telford was preparing to officially dedicate a sign that had been installed at Granville and Georgia that would countdown the number of deathless days until the conclusion of the campaign.
Later that same day, the campaign was sadly "interrupted" when 55 year-old Thomas Hatley was struck dead by a car at Main and Station streets. The Sun editorialized that only a small minority of motorists – roughly 2% – was responsible for an "orgy of lawbreaking" on the city's streets and whose licences ought to be revoked. In other words, it was essentially a law enforcement problem.
The campaign restarted, but on 10 July, the Sun revealed that Mildred Graham was on her deathbed after another traffic mishap, causing the paper's optimism to wane: "We might just as well have started out on a mass rocket flight to the moon," mused the Sun, 30 years before rocket flights to the moon were possible. It wasn't the police department's fault, since "all the police between here and Bow Street couldn't keep our drivers in line." Nevertheless, Chief Constable Foster said that he would instruct the entire police force to enforce traffic laws instead of leaving it all to the Traffic Squad.
Pedestrians weren't to blame either in the Sun's view. Sure, they do foolish things, but "so long as motorists go on assuming that the pedestrian has no rights, we might as well pack our Deathless Days Campaign away in mothballs with the New Year's Resolutions and admit we don't want to save lives." Unless Vancouver drivers adjusted their attitudes, we might as well "admit that we haven't got what it takes to stop killing people" and should just accept that Vancouverites are simply of "weaker moral fibre" than Winnipeggers.
100 Deathless Days began anew a third time after Mildred Graham succumbed to her injuries on 14 July. But when 65 year-old Edward Luff was mowed down the next day on Hastings, the Sun said it didn't count because he was killed by a streetcar, not a private automobile. A nine year-old cyclist was also run over that day at Keefer and Hawks, but he survived. Another cyclist, 15 year-old Billy MacDonald, died a couple days earlier after being thrown from his bicycle on Gravely Street, but that one was classified as a "freak accident" rather than a traffic death, and so didn't affect the campaign.
The fourth restart of the campaign came on 19 July following the death of 50 year-old William Hanna when he crashed his car into a bus at Granville and 54th Avenue. The Sun's editorial that day was less impassioned than earlier in the campaign, simply telling people to be careful and offering tips to avoid killing or being killed in the streets. If nothing else, the campaign was getting Vancouverites to think about traffic safety, the paper reassured itself and its readers.
The police department was denied funding to beef up its traffic squad with a slew of special constables. Instead, Chief Foster put out a call for 500 citizen volunteers to monitor traffic infractions. Volunteers would submit their reports to the chief, who would then send a letter to lawbreakers informing them their behaviour behind the wheel was unacceptable. One hundred and seventy-five civic minded folks from all walks of life answered the call, and in the month of August alone, 530 violations were reported to the police, although there is no way of knowing if a letter from the police with no legal consequences to back it up influenced anyone's driving behaviour.
After 74 year-old J. McDevitt was run over by a motorcycle at Seymour and Smythe, the Deathless Days campaign restarted for the fifth and final time. The month of August was free of traffic fatalities, but the onset of the Second World War in September gave the Sun more important things with which to fill its pages and the campaign was "quietly dropped." Another interpretation was that campaign organizers realized that they were asking too much of Vancouver motorists to not "occasionally hurtle another car off the highway or destroy a pedestrian wearing an offensively-hued shirt." The Winnipeg Tribune felt its city was vindicated by Vancouver's campaign: "It was not on account of deaths due to careless driving by the many prairie motorists then in Vancouver, but as a result of the inability of local talent to suppress their homicidal tendencies, that the campaign ended so ignomiously."
Why were Vancouver's streets so treacherous? In an article about how Providence, Rhode Island dealt with the same problem, the Sun reported that that city had virtually eliminated traffic deaths by lowering the speed limit to 25 miles an hour, which had little effect on traffic efficiency. The Sun, however, repeatedly returned to the theme of "traffic morality" in diagnosing the problem locally, using the traditional "moral panic" formula that had been successful in other campaigns such as cracking down on drugs or Chinese immigration. Victoria was demonstrating its superior morality, or "traffic conscience," by embarking on an even more ambitious campaign of "Accident Free Weeks." While Vancouver was "half-heartedly pretending not to KILL people," wrote the Sun, "Victoria is determined not to HURT people."
After the campaign was abandoned, the head of the Traffic Safety Council said he had come to the conclusion that the problem lay entirely with pedestrians. Motorists were perfectly cooperative during the campaign, but as for pedestrians, he said, "there was no evidence of any co-operation whatsoever."
With no reference to the antebellum campaign, the Vancouver Police launched "80 Deathless Days" in 1955. This time it was in response to the annual "80 Dark Days of Danger" created by shorter winter days. There was also no question this time as to who was to blame: old people, out alone at night, wearing drab coloured clothing. If the city's seniors refused to remain in the safety of their homes, the Sun suggested they should at least ask themselves "Is this journey necessary?" before venturing out onto the dark, treacherous streets.
The 1950s campaign was another big failure. By June 1956, Sun columnist Jack Wasserman mentioned seeing a sign promoting the campaign on an "ancient Dodge hearse" and wondered if that meant the 80 Deathless Days drive was dead. In 1960, a Sun reporter investigating why Trail, BC hadn't had a single traffic death in five years reported that Vancouver had only managed 54 consecutive deathless days in the same period.
The 100 Deathless Days Campaign and similar initiatives weren't unique to Vancouver, and looking back they seem to signify that moment in history when significant numbers of traffic fatalities became accepted as the cost of the (still fairly recent) transportation system centred on the private automobile. Engineering and technological innovations no doubt brought modest improvements to make automobiles and city streets safer, while other technologies, such as the V8 engine in the 30s and cell phones more recently, have posed new problems.

Mpls. to consider sterilizing stray cats
The city of Minneapolis is considering a new way of dealing with stray cats.
Later this spring, City Council Member Cam Gordon will introduce an ordinance allowing the cats to be sterilized rather than euthanized.
Gordon said killing feral cats has proved ineffective in controlling their population.
"But if you return them, sterilized, into the environment, the colony can't grow any larger, because there's a limited number of cats that live in these colonies," Gordon said. "And then they ... also can't reproduce. So over the generations, this is actually a way to eliminate the feral cats problem as well."
Gordon said feral cats cannot be adopted because they fear and attack humans.
In 2012, Minneapolis Animal Care & Control euthanized 270 cats it deemed unsuitable for adoption. Many were feral.
St. Paul passed an ordinance in 2007 allowing feral cats to be sterilized and released. It still has to euthanize hundreds of stray cats every year.
The St. Paul sterilizations are handled by independent groups, an approach Minneapolis is considering as well.

From the 'State of Mongoose 2011':
Legend has gone with a far, far bigger bang than we expected. As I write this, we have already blasted through the first printing run and the book sits at the top of the Drivethru charts with the first supplement, Monsters of Legend, fast chasing it.
We had intended this game to be a continuation of the RuneQuest II mechanics, allowing us to provide support indefinitely for existing customers. Instead, it rather seems to have taken a life of its own!
This is, I believe, due to a number of factors, not least of which is that Messrs Lawrence Whitaker and Pete Nash designed a rock solid fantasy system that ticks all the right boxes. Added to this, the new format and the low price of £10/$19.99 means that instead of just buying one book, you can now get one for every player at the table for much the same price. We released the PDF version for just $1. We made the entire book (in fact, the entire core range) Open Content – not via an SRD but literally all the text of the books. Finally, we promised a quick amount of support material, from Monsters of Legend and the free Spirit Magic download, to brand new material for our various settings.
So, what have we got planned for Legend through 2012?
We are busy converting all our 'historical' settings over to the new format, so you will see Vikings of Legend, Pirates of Legend and Samurai of Legend in the first few months of the year. Again, all of these will also be 100% Open Content.
Cities of Legend (also Open Content) will start appearing fairly early on, each providing a full fantasy city that can be placed in just about any campaign. Each city will be mapped out, a short history included (just enough to start linking it with the rest of the campaign world, whichever one that may be) and all the interesting locations, characters and events detailed. And then there is Arcania of Legend, introducing new and varied magic systems to the game, allowing you to pick and choose which you want to use in your campaign worlds. That kicks off with Blood Magic.
We weren't going to do a GM's screen for Legend but, given the demand we have seen for one of late, we may have to! And yes, it would be landscape format.
Elric of Melnibone will be getting two new supplements early in the year, Secrets of the Steppes and Talons of Winter. The first describes a vast wilderness in the Young Kingdoms we have yet to touch, the latter a true sandbox campaign set within the steppes. We are already talking to several writers about new Eternal Champion material for later in the year, and we hope to have both Hawkmoon and (finally!) Corum out before too long.
Then there is Historia Rodentia, a new setting for Legend that came about from a chance meeting at Gen Con 2011 with On The Lamb Games, when I saw their range of miniatures for Brushfire, the tabletop version of the RPG. This is a very cleverly constructed setting that looks simple on the surface but has all kinds of interesting subtleties when you start digging beneath the surface. The basic premise is that of a world populated by intelligent animals, but one that mirrors our own.
For example, the soldiers of Axony appear as bulldogs in British Army colonial uniforms (think Zulu). However, Axony is populated by both cats and dogs, and has recently come out of its Civil War and… well, I think you can see where this is going. The English Civil War in this world was not fought between parliamentarians and royalists but cats and dogs. Other nations around the world get similar treatment and I personally am planning a campaign based on the exploits of Sharpe and the Chosen Men in their wars against the Empire of Aquitar (France, populated with moles, badgers and weasels). Overall, Historia Rodentia is not entirely serious but the characters within take themselves very seriously indeed. We'll be previewing this soon, and it is one to look out for.
Our own RuneQuest II settings, Deus Vult and Wraith Recon, will be continuing apace. Our own Charlotte Law has been working on a sourcebook for Deus Vult, covering the city of Rouen (if you have read our Deus Vult novel, Sister Devout – available at Drivethru and on Kindle – then you will already know what a hotbed of cults and corruption 12th Century Rouen can be!), and we are talking to other writers for more material to appear later in the year. The RQII books for both of these games are already fully compatible with Legend, and we will be keeping them available until their stock is gone, then republishing them in the new Legend digest format.
And then there is third party setting, Age of Treason, for which we believe a new supplement is already in the works! One way or another, 2012 will see an awful lot of support for Legend.
I'm glad to see that Legend is doing well, even though I'm confident that RuneQuest 6 will prove to be the superior RPG. (After all, RQ6 is not simply a 'scrubbed' version of MRQII, but rather a revised and improved version of MRQII by that system's co-creators.)
Especially interesting is Mongoose's plan for the Eternal Champion series. It looks like Mongoose will not simply be 'repackaging' their back catalogue for Legend, but actually will be coming out with some new products for the line. While I'm not holding my breath for a Legend-based version of Corum, I certainly will pick it up should it ever appear!
The Cities of Legend supplement also sounds intriguing. On the other hand, Historia Rodentia sounds positively dreadful, the kind of product that makes my day a little worse simply by implanting an aesthetically unpleasant concept in my sluggish brain.
More positively, Age of Treason sounds intriguing. And it's nice that everything in the core Legend book is Open Content!

Creating Newsletters For Your Film Project/
By Laura Hammer
As PMD on Leah Meyerhoff's I Believe In Unicorns, part of my job was to send newsletter updates to our base of supporters. Newsletters are not just for announcing screenings! They are an integral part of audience engagement and get people involved in your project as early as development stages. Your subscribers email boxes are flooded with newsletter campaigns from companies and projects and they will barely have time for yours. Do not bother them with something hideous (lacking design effort) and difficult to read (text too small or the length of an encyclopedia).
Newsletter layouts have four essential components: Header, Body, *Sidebar, and Footer. *Depending on the layout you pick you may have no sidebar, one, or multiple sidebars! If choosing multiple sidebars, I would advise picking a layout where these columns are below the main body text and above the footer. Choose wisely and investigate your own email box for designs that stand out.
Be creative and consistent. Design choices should match the aesthetics of the film. Keep the same color scheme, layout, and visual elements throughout your campaign. Use a minimum amount of graphics as several email clients block images by default.
Declare yourself. Ensure your readers know who you are and why they are receiving this newsletter. Try adding the words "movie" or "film" to your sender name. The "email subject line" should be short and attention grabbing as it serves the same purpose as a logline. This "subject line" should highlight the main topic of your newsletter.
Make sure your (A) HEADER links back to your main website and includes the film's title as well as the director or key cast members names. Recipients will click mostly on links in the top of your newsletter and most will only view your email in the preview pane. For the (B) BODY of your newsletter stick with one main topic or idea you are trying to convey.
Choose an eye catching main photo and make sure it links back to your main website or site you most want your readers to visit.
Get Social (1, 5, 9) Prominently display social media profile logo links and your official site url. Tweet your campaign after sending.
Keep it short! Use short subtitles to break up topics or long sections of text, these can also become navigation links in the (2) table of contents. The main body text can include links back to blog posts that have more detail.
Highlight recent news. We use the subtitle "More Great News" to highlight the recent accomplishments of our cast and crew. Next to each blurb is a thumbnail photo that links back to the related press article or the related film's Facebook page. We usually include a text link back to a blog post on our blog congratulating them and providing more detail and additional related outgoing links. This builds community and drives traffic and new fans to your film.
Express gratitude by linking back to any organizations helping your film and include their logos. Thank cast, crew, and supporters when production goals are reached and let them know how their contribution is bringing the project closer to the finish line.
While optional, the (C) SIDEBAR of a newsletter can be most helpful during development and production stages of a project. Once a film is completed, sidebars can be utilized to list screening and release dates.
Crowdfund. If you are asking for donations, (3) make the link large and feature a logo if you have a fiscal sponsor or crowdfunding platform.

Hedgehog & Badger
David Heath argues the badger cull with Brian, however, with no scientific evidence to argue,
no ethics to argue and no economic justification to argue he randomly says "hedgehogs are declining because of badgers". It is an odd argument if true, but it simply isn't true.
I don't think he knows what badgers eat.
For those following this debate it is no surprise he can't read the facts yet again - I wonder if he should go to Specsavers?
He also doesn't know what an ecosystem is or what a badger eats, does he know they live underground? LISTEN HERE
FACT - The cull is unscientific, unethical, uneconomical and won't work and it won't save hedgehogs Mr Heath.
Foxes eat ducks, but we still have ducks. Nature thrives in a natural balance -it is us that puts species into decline.
Tell them how you feel NOW before it's too late -
if you have already written write again - NOW!
SOME FACTS FROM PTES and BHPS that Mr Heath may want to read in relation to Hedgehogs and Badgers.
PTES and BHPS position statement on the relationship between hedgehogs and badgers:
Hedgehogs are preyed upon by badgers and badgers compete with hedgehogs for food according to research at the University of Oxford and elsewhere. The two species have coexisted in Britain for several thousand years, but national badger surveys in the 1980s and 90s conducted by the University of Bristol showed then that the badger population had increased significantly in that period. Whilst it is likely that where badger numbers are high the number of hedgehogs will be low there is no evidence that badgers are the single most important factor affecting hedgehogs today. Hedgehogs rarely encounter badgers in urban areas, but they are declining just as severely in these places as they are in the wider countryside. Moreover, the rate of this decline is not related to the presence of badgers at particular urban sites. In rural areas, hedgehogs are declining severely even in parts of the country with low badger densities (e.g. East Anglia). It is clear that several interacting pressures are at work. Bolstering hedgehog populations would be better achieved by increasing and improving habitat, for example: restoring hedgerows to improve shelter and nesting opportunities; managing field margins and grasslands in ways that encourage abundant and diverse invertebrate prey.
Current discussions about whether or not to cull badgers are a proposed response to the spread of bovine TB and are not related to hedgehog numbers or conservation.
March 2013
Fay Vass, of the British Hedgehog Preservation Society, said badgers were only part of the problem. 'The main reason numbers are falling is the loss of habitats and the fragmentation of their habitat, she said.
'They like to roam two miles each night, but there are more walls and fences to block their way.'

To some this may be better known as the All Hallowś school formal.
Skimming the dress code for this event I'm almost perplexed, over my 16 years of living (cue the whining comments from parents wishing to be '16 again') I've done "semi-formal," "black tie optional," "festive," "garden party," "beach chic" and "The White Party," but never fully formal. So where does 'formal' then lie? What spectrum does it fall between? Festive and Garden party? Beach Chic and Black and white - god can only hope not. Then I ask you, what does one do when they are at a loss of fashion advice.
Answer: They rack their purses for $8.75 to purchase the most recent copy of a fashion lover's bible. VOGUE.
To flick through a Harper's BAZZAR or Voguè the idea of 'formal attire' soon becomes crystal clear- shout out to my girl Anna Wintour for that. It's through the vicissitude of now finding a dress which suits your body type, for the right price, which no one else has purchased all the while finding an actual date who hasn't already been invited to one of the two other formals on that night (Yes, I know, it's like the school wants to test our sanity), when planning for your formal transitions from excitement to trepidation seamlessly...
|The highest of quality images, feat. A really clean room
that I'm far off from having a
models body, thus making the
search even more difficult.
But after some extensive
research I've realised that the
only dress for me is a tight

Luckily, I found a nice red
ensemble at SHEIKE,

even better it was under

However, the next catastrophic problem that arises is the desperate need of statement accessories. I'm at a complete standstill people so if anyone wants to help out a very stressed teenage soul your advice would be more than greatly appreciated.
Also, to go with a plain shoe or not, THAT is the question. (Both from: Tony Bianco )

Florida Panthers
Another blown lead sends Florida Panthers to overtime loss
For the second time in a week, the Panthers found themselves trying to defend a two-goal lead in the third period of a divisional game.
Just like Tuesday against the Capitals, Florida couldn't hold it.
Saturday afternoon it was the visiting Lightning who rebounded from the wrong end of a 5-3 score to beat the Panthers 6-5 in overtime.
The Lightning got a much-needed win by scoring with 10.4 seconds remaining to force an overtime that ended just over a minute after it started when Benoit Pouliot put a bouncing puck past Jose Theodore.
Tampa Bay had one win in February before Saturday and was riding a six-game winless streak yet has enjoyed recent success against its rival on the Atlantic side of the state. Saturday's win was Tampa Bay's sixth in a row over the Panthers.
In the third period, it looked like the Lightning's in-state winning streak was coming to a close. The Panthers led 5-3 with just over 16 minutes left after Tomas Kopecky scored Florida's third goal within a span of 3:30.
"We're not finishing. We're not finishing the game, that's not finishing scoring and giving a complete game whether it's 60 or 65 minutes,'' coach Kevin Dineen said.
"We're not a complete team right now. That's a hard loss for us. We have to get ready for the next one.''
Florida, which lost by the identical 6-5 score to the Capitals here last Tuesday, has picked up at least a point in seven of the past eight games but has left the ice without a victory in four consecutive games.
Yes, the Panthers are getting points in the standings, but the losing is getting old. Especially in games like this in which a victory was within reach.
Florida is 0-0-3 during this four-game homestand with Toronto ending the run of home dates on Monday. The Panthers are 3-1-4 since snapping a five-game losing streak on Jan. 31.
"When we get that lead, we just have to keep coming at teams,'' said Jack Skille, who scored his second goal of the season to tie the score at 2 in the second period.
Tampa Bay limped into the BB&T Center after its high-flying offense had been slowed during the long losing run. Coming into Saturday's game, the Lightning hadn't scored four goals since pounding the Winnipeg Jets 8-3 on Feb. 1 — one night after Florida beat Tampa Bay in Sunrise.
On Saturday, however, the Lightning got its offense back on track as it pulled to within a goal at 5-4 at 7:28 of the third when Steven Stamkos got his second of the game with the Lightning on a power play.
Florida played good defense late until Teddy Purcell was standing alone about 25 feet from goalie Jose Theodore and waited for a nice pass from Stamkos in the closing seconds. Purcell ripped a shot that beat Theodore and evened things up for the first time since early in the period.
For Florida, Purcell's goal was extremely painful because Peter Mueller's prime scoring chance was stopped with a minute left. Had Mueller scored off a rebound of a long Jonathan Huberdeau shot, the Panthers would have ended it right then.
Instead, Purcell scored and the Panthers headed to overtime for the fifth time in the past six games. Pouliot pounced on a bouncing puck that flew off the end boards from a Tom Pyatt shot and that was that.
"I've never blamed a game on the bounces,'' Dineen said, "and I don't think I'll start now.''
The Panthers are now 1-4 in overtime with their only win coming in a Philadelphia shootout on Feb. 7. That game also marks Florida's most recent win.
Florida, which trailed 2-1 and 3-2, scored three goals in a quick span from the end of the second to the 3:24 mark of the third.
Jerred Smithson got his first goal of the season with 4.2 seconds left in the second before Jonathan Huberdeau gave Florida the lead at 1:53 of the third. Kopecky scored 90 seconds later to make it 5-3.
"You have to play really good defensively especially at the end when you have a lead,'' Kopecky said.
"If things aren't going your way, you have to earn it. You have to work, have to compete. Obviously this is frustrating but ... there were a lot of good snap shots of things we did well. We can learn from this.''
The Panthers said last week that they had hoped Jovanovski would be able to play this coming week.
"There is no expectation for the next two weeks that he'll be available to us,'' Dineen said. "It's disappointing for him and it's disappointing for us. He leaves a void on our team both on and off the ice. Eddie brings a lot of intangibles to a team.''

Bead Assist Device - B.A.D.-ass BeadlocksPosted in How To: Wheels Tires on May 28, 2014
Beadlock wheels are awesome for off-roading. They allow you to air down your tires to single-digit pressures and get gobs more traction as the tires' contact patch spreads wider. But there are two common issues with beadlocks. One is the legality of driving on the street with a two-piece wheel, but even more annoying is a leaky beadlock that won't hold the pressure for long. When you have a wheel that clamps the outer bead with an external bolt-on ring, it is all too common for the bolts to work loose from abusive off-roading, and the next thing you know the tires go flat while sitting in your driveway waiting for the next wheeling trip.
We just tested some new beadlocks from B.A.D. (Bead Assist Device). Although they are a little tricky to install, we are excited that they should cure those two common beadlock dilemmas. Unlike most other beadlocks, which use a two-piece wheel, the B.A.D. beadlocks use a one-piece wheel like most every other wheel on the road, but then have a unique internal clamping component that keeps the front-side (outer) bead seated when down to single-digit pressures.
We spent a Saturday morning mounting our new beadlocks and were running dirt obstacles by that afternoon with traction galore. They always say the bad ones are more fun.
"They always say the bad ones are more fun"
Unlike most beadlock wheels, which have an outer bead ring that bolts onto the wheel, the B.A.D. wheels are a special casting that works just like a normal wheel but uses a three-part bolt-on system inside the wheel to clamp the outer tire bead.
The aluminum clamping components are held on with two large nuts that thread onto studs seated into the aluminum. Step 1, remove all the clamping components.
You must start by putting the tire on the B.A.D. wheel and seating the bead, unlike with a normal beadlock where that is done last. We used a set of tire irons (spoons) from Extreme Outback Products to wrestle the 40-inch Nitto Trail Grapplers onto the rims.
Next we aired up to about 40 psi until the tire was seated on the bead of the rim. Soapy water is your friend when it comes to installing tires on a wheel. It also helps to leave the tire out in the sun to get more pliable.
Once the tire bead has been seated on the rim you must then break just the back bead, the side that will be towards the vehicle or the mounting side of the wheel. It's easier to have all this done at a tire shop; just tell them you want the tires mounted, not balanced, and the rear bead broken down afterwards, but leave the front mounted. We just used a pair of Tyreplyers Beadbreakers from Extreme Outback Products.
Once the rear bead is broken you need to get the clamping components (aka internal locking elements) down inside the mounted tire. Using a pair of PVC 45-degree elbows helps a lot in holding the tire down to work inside the small opening. These beadlocks are recommended for 33-inch or larger tires since you need some sideway to work with.
The three clamping components (aka internal locking elements) are tricky to get inside the tire and mounted on the internal wheel studs. But again, some soapy water and dexterity can get them in with a little elbow grease.
With the components inside and mounted you'll want to put the flat washer and nut on the two studs that hold them in place. The studs are pinned in place on the wheel so they will not spin.
A socket with a swivel joint and an extension helps get them tight. Torque spec is 20 lb-ft.
With the nut torque down, the clamping components are clamping the outer bead to the outer lip of the tire and you need to install the small snap pins through the holes in the 0.625-inch studs. There are small holes for the pins so the nut cannot back off. Keep a small extendable magnet or a magnet on a string handy; we can almost guarantee you will drop a snap pin inside and need to fish it out. We did so about 10 times.
Once all three components are bolted in place and clamped tight and pinned you can reseat the inner bead. Since the tire is not being held to the bead by a two-piece wheel, leaks are a lot less likely.
We added an external rock ring (aka Rock Defense System, RDS) to protect the finish of the wheels. There are 18 button-head cap screws that hold the ring in place; find the six short ones first because they line up with the wheel spokes.
Under each of those short bolts you'll install a set of Nord-Lock washers. This is a washer system that uses two interlocking washers to keep the button-head cap screws from backing out. You only use these under the short bolts that align with the spokes, and you always use both of the washers together.
With the rock rings installed you're ready to go demolish some trails with your low-psi tires. Each wheel weighs about 50 pounds, so they're not light, but their new design makes them DOT-compliant for using on the road.
One item we really like is the Rapid Air Deflators (RAD) on the wheels, which help you air down fast at the trailhead. Plus, by having a second opposite valve stem, you can monitor pressure as it's dropping and shut it off at the perfect pressure.
To use the RADs, just remove the outer valve stem cap and turn back the large knurled ring. This O-ring–equipped air cap releases pressure through multiple holes near the wheel face for quick air drops.
Though mounting the BAD wheels is tricky, we didn't really find them any more time consuming than a normal beadlock with a ton of little bolts. We do have two complaints about the wheels. We like the 17x10 size, but we really wish there was an option with more backspacing than 31⁄2 inches. We like wheels with 41⁄2 to 6 inches of backspacing to help wheel bearings and turning components with less scrub radius. Our biggest complaint though is that the lug nut holes are too small. We find wheels that require a thin wall socket, extralong lug nuts, or both to be annoying to install. Especially if you're on the trail and don't have special tools with you other than a lug nut star wrench.

Another buyout at the New York Times
Classical musical critic James Oestreich has become the latest staffer to take a buyout from the New York Times, moving the paper closer to its goal of reducing newsroom staff by 30 positions.
"After 24 years on staff at The New York Times, I have decided to make a major change and take advantage of The Times's current buyout offer," Oestreich wrote in an email to staff today. "I will complete my tenure as classical music editor on Jan. 31, but I am delighted to report that I will be advising the department on our coverage through the spring, as well as continuing to write for The Times on a freelance basis."
(PHOTOS: 10 controversial magazine covers)
The deadline for the Times buyouts is tomorrow; executive editor Jill Abramson has said that if the paper cannot secure roughly 30 buyouts by then, she will be forced to go to layoffs. Times managing editor John Geddes, culture editor Jonathan Landman, and reporters Alice DuBois, Joyce Wadler, and Jacques Steinberg have also accepted buyouts in recent weeks, and more staffers are expected to have done so privately.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Vampirism FAQ
Oblivion Vampirism Guide author: Jason Nicholas (firstname.lastname@example.com) current version: 1.0 Version History: 1.0 - Initial Release =============================================================================== Contents =============================================================================== 1 - Introduction 2 - How to become a Vampire 3 - What exactly happens once you are a vampire 3a - Vampirism 25% 3b - Vampirism 50% 3c - Vampirism 75% 3d - Vampirism 100% 3e - Feeding 4 - Quest to cure vampirism 5 - Legal Information 6 - Contact Information 7 - Credits =============================================================================== 1 - Introduction: =============================================================================== Elder scrolls games are unique in the fact that they allow the player a chance to have their characters become vampires. I love vampires so naturally I jumped at the chance to have my character become one. The couple of message boards I visit though a lot of people have questions about how being a vampire in the game works. So hopefully by me writing this, some of those questions can be answered. Plus it is writing practice so that is always a plus! One final note, it appears that unlike Morrowind there are no vampire specific quests outside of the quest for a cure. So the only reason to be a vampire is for role-playing / statistics reasons. But I mean honestly how can you pass up the chance to suck the blood from innocent people! =============================================================================== 2 - How to become a vampire: =============================================================================== There's only 2 ways I know of that your character can contract the vampirism disease and start down the path to becoming a vampire. The first way is to fight vampires and let them beat on you. Every time a vampire hits you with a melee attack you have a small chance of contracting the disease. Note that if your character has any kind of disease resistance it will lower the chance of you catching the disease. The easier less painful way is to start the Dark Brotherhood quest chain, eventually one of the members offers your character a chance to become a vampire without entering combat or anything. After being infected with the disease the next time you rest, when you wake up you receive a message about a dream of being bitten by a vampire. You now have to wait three in game days then rest again. When you wake up after that you will be a full fledged vampire. Note during the three day period after getting the disease but before you become a vampire, if you do anything to cure disease you will be cured of vampirism and won't turn into one. Finally once you turn into a full fledged vampire the only way to cure it and turn back to normal is to complete the vampire cure quest series. =============================================================================== 3 - What exactly happens once you are a vampire =============================================================================== So now that you are a vampire a couple of things change, for starters you have to "feed" off of humans in order to keep the vampirism in check, if you wish to remain in the first stage of vampirism. There are four different "stages" of being a vampire. For every full day that you go without feeding, you progress to the next stage as the vampirism starts to take over your character's being. As you progress through the different stages your character starts to look less and less human and more like a monster. As you change stages you will receive a pop up message talking about a dream your character had. Also note that feeding during any stage takes you back to vampirism 25. The only time though that an actual form change occurs is when you sleep or wait. So if you never rest or wait in the game you will never under go a form change and thus never actually really have to feed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3a - Vampirism 25 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is considered to be the basic vampire form, your abilities are weaker compared to the other forms but you are also the most human and receive no penalties when dealing with NPCs. Also it is important to note that while in this form you do not take damage for being in sun light. Below is the list of stat modifications for vampirism 25. Weakness to fire - +20 Resist Disease - +100 Resist Paralysis - +100 Resist Normal Weapons - +5 Fortify Speed - +5 Fortify Strength - +5 Fortify Willpower - +5 Fortify Acrobatics - +5 Fortify Sneak - +5 Fortify Illusion - +5 Fortify Athletics - +5 Fortify Destruction - +5 Fortify Hand to Hand - +5 Fortify Mysticism - +5 Also you gain the ability Hunter's Sight which is night-eye for 30 seconds on self and Detect Life 100ft for 30 seconds on self. This ability is very handy for finding potential victims for feeding and also for seeing if anyone is in the area while you feed so that you don't get caught. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3b - Vampirism 50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the next stage of vampirism which occurs if your character goes 24 hours without feeding and then rests or waits to pass time. Your character starts to look older and more undead like in appearance. Also your disposition to other NPCs is lowered a bit due to the appearance change. You receive the following stat modifications for being at Vampirism 50: Weakness to fire - +30 Resist Disease - +100 (same as vampirism 25) Resist Paralysis - +100 (same as vampirism 25) Resist Normal Weapons - +10 Sun Damage - +1 (1 damage per second you are in the sun light) Fortify Speed - +10 Fortify Strength - +10 Fortify Willpower - +10 Fortify Acrobatics - +10 Fortify Sneak - +10 Fortify Illusion - +10 Fortify Athletics - +10 Fortify Destruction - +10 Fortify Hand to Hand - +10 Fortify Mysticism - +10 In addition to keeping the Hunter's Sight ability you gain the Vampire Seduction ability. This ability is a 50 point charm for 20 seconds on target. Helpful for getting people to like you enough to deal with you. Though it can only be used once a day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3c - Vampirism 75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The third stage of vampirism occurs if you go another day without feeding when you are at stage 2, then rest or sleep. At this stage your appearance goes through further degeneration. Your character starts to look more undead and less human like. The following attributes are modified: Weakness to fire - +40 Resist Disease - +100 (same as vampirism 25) Resist Paralysis - +100 (same as vampirism 25) Resist Normal Weapons - +10 Sun Damage - +4 (4 damage per second you are in the sun light) Fortify Speed - +15 Fortify Strength - +15 Fortify Willpower - +15 Fortify Acrobatics - +15 Fortify Sneak - +15 Fortify Illusion - +15 Fortify Athletics - +15 Fortify Destruction - +15 Fortify Hand to Hand - +15 Fortify Mysticism - +15 Also in addition to the previous abilities you gain the following ability. Reign of Terror which is a 20ft silence for 60 seconds on touch and also demoralizes up to lvl 6 for 60 seconds on touch usable once a day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3d - Vampirism 100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The final and most advanced form of being a vampire, you're considered to be a full fledged undead abomination. No one will deal with you at all even with the use of any kind of disposition modifiers. The following attributes are modified: Weakness to fire - +50 Resist Disease - +100 (same as vampirism 25) Resist Paralysis - +100 (same as vampirism 25) Resist Normal Weapons - +20 Sun Damage - +8 (8 damage per second you are in the sun light) Fortify Speed - +20 Fortify Strength - +20 Fortify Willpower - +20 Fortify Acrobatics - +20 Fortify Sneak - +20 Fortify Illusion - +20 Fortify Athletics - +20 Fortify Destruction - +20 Fortify Hand to Hand - +20 Fortify Mysticism - +20 The last and final ability you gain is Embrace of Shadows. This ability does the following: Night Eye for 90 seconds on self and Invisibility for 180 seconds on self. This is the perfect get away ability though like other powers it can only be used once a day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3e - Feeding ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The act of feeding is pretty simple for the most part. At night when a human is asleep if you sneak up to them and interact with the sleeping person you will be given an option to feed on them. If a guard or someone else catches you feeding on a victim though it will be considered an assault and your bounty will go up accordingly. Feeding does not kill the victim nor does it turn them into a vampire, and yes you can feed on the same person multiple times and gain the benefit for feeding. Basically the main benefit from feeding is staying in the default vampire form to be able to travel and interact with people without any penalties. You can complete the entire game as a stage one vampire without any problems. I have found that any of the guilds or beggars are the best to feed off of at night time. Note too that as a default vampire feeding has no benefits at all. It does not reset your timer for a stage transformation. If you wait 23 hours, feed on someone and then rest for 3 more hours when you wake up you will be in stage 2 and will have to feed to go back to being a default vampire. There also seems to be a graphics glitch with the form changes too, if you advance to a stage 2 vampire then go back to a stage 1 through feeding your character's graphical appearance will still be that of a stage 2 vampire. It has no actual bearing on the game stat wise, but if you want to go back to looking like a default vampire you have to load an older saved game and then reload your current game and then the graphics will be back to normal. =============================================================================== 4 - Quest to cure vampirism =============================================================================== So the midnight feedings have you down or for some other reason you just don't feel like you want to be a vampire anymore, luckily there is a way to cure it without having to resort to loading a saved game. Anyway regardless of why you wish to no longer be a vampire here is a quick run through of the quest. The first step is to talk to Raminus Polus at the Arcane University, he usually hangs out in the lobby so you don't worry if you are not a student at the mage guild. When you speak to him ask about "Cure for Vampirism", unfortunately he doesn't know of a cure but sends you to Castle Skingrad to speak with Count Janus Hassildor. You can't speak directly to the count so talk to Hal-Liurz first. Eventually you will be able to speak to the count, and he'll tell you a story about how him and his wife are vampires but his wife didn't accept it so he is searching for a cure for her. He will ask you to help him, when you agree he tells you about a witch that knows more about the cure. He marks the location on your map. Follow the big red arrow on your compass / map to find the hut that Melisande the witch lives at. When you talk to her, at first she plays dumb but eventually she spills the beans and agrees to help you if you help her out with something first. She wants you to get her five grand soul gems, your best bet would be to buy them from the mages guild around the world if you are a member. Also sometimes you can get them as treasure from dungeons. When you return with the gems she gives you the next portion of the quest. You have to go and collect the following ingredients for a potion: 6 cloves of garlic You can find the garlic in peoples' houses in Skingrad 5 nightshade leaves Can find Nightshade growing Southeast of Skingrad 2 shoots of blood grass Blood Grass can be found in Oblivion or outside any of the Oblivion Gates Also you need the blood of an Argonian, which when you speak to Melisande about it she gives you a special dagger for the job. It can be any Argonian and also you don't have to kill them just hit them once with the special dagger and that should be enough to complete this part. Finally you need to kill a powerful vampire named Hindaril for his ashes. When you ask Melisande about it she marks the location of where to find him on your map. I've heard that if you turn in the items in the wrong order that it bugs your game and you will have to reload a previous save if you want to complete the quest. The order I turned in the items was blood grass, nightshade, garlic, Argonian blood, and finally vampire ashes. She gives you two potions, one for you to drink and one to give to Count Hassildor's wife. After some waiting around and cut scenes you receive a 1000 gp reward for your hard work. =============================================================================== Section 5: Legal Information =============================================================================== This may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except for personal, private use.

Quilted needlebook, pinkeep and strawberry, also winner of giveaway announced.
Hi everyone, I finally managed to get some stitching done in my craft room and here is what I have been making, a quilted needlebook, matching pinkeep and felt strawberry. I designed the pattern based on the cross stitch sewing machine pattern I designed a while ago. I stitched it on white fabric and then chose this wine coloured fabric with cream polka dots but then realised I should have stitched the design onto cream fabric, but hey, never mind it will just have to do!

Hi everyone, apologies for the delay since my last post, I have been very busy helping my husband landscape the front garden, I have found muscles I did not know I had! We decided to remove a small picket fence and replace it with a pretty hedge, it looks much nicer now but obviously I had no time to spend in my craft room.

Fernando Llorente reveals Juventus doubts
The former Athletic Bilbao man moved to the Serie A champions in July, having agreed a deal to sign in the January transfer window.
The Spain international has made a modest start to life in Turin, scoring four goals in all competitions, while he failed to score in his first five games for the club.
And he has admitted that early on in his Juventus career, he suffered doubts over whether the move had been right for him.
"What happens is the normal problems of acclimatization due to the change of country, friends, team and city are added to workloads that in my life I had never experienced," he told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
"I felt strong but my body was not used to working so much and at one point in the United States, I felt empty, completely drained. And if the body does not work, also the head starts to sweat. And I began to have doubts.
"Injuries to (Mirko) Vucinic and (Fabio) Quagliarella gave me an opportunity that I have tried to make the most of. I had access to games, minutes, and the more I played the better I I felt. I picked up the pace."
Llorente also confirmed that coach Antonio Conte had played a big part in helping him to recover from his doubts, with the 28-year-old scoring twice in his last two games.
"(Conte told me) to have patience. Juve had also suffered (with Michel) Platini and (Zinedine) Zidane, that the Serie A is different, which takes time and effort to get used to," he added.

Boys on the bus are back
The boys on the bus are back.
At The New York Times, Jill Abramson is out and Dean Baquet is in. On the same day across the pond, Natalie Nougayrede was so tired of personal attacks she quit her top post at Le Monde. And at Bloomberg, half-a-dozen men have been put in key positions over Washington coverage, after the first woman to run the bureau left earlier this year.
Story Continued Below
A new report out this week wasn't kidding: Journalism has a woman problem.
"Some of the very qualities that make for great top-level editors, such as firm decision-making ability and willingness to stand up for your point of view against competing interests — are qualities that are often lauded in men and seen as overly abrasive in women," said Ann Friedman, former deputy editor of The American Prospect. "I think it's possible for male and female bosses to be both decisive and compassionate, both powerful and well-liked. But we are harder on women who don't manage — or perhaps don't even try — to be all of these things at once."
( Also on POLITICO: Why Abramson's departure will ricochet)
The Women's Media Center found that men still dominate the media industry, from bylines to leadership positions to editorial page writers to guests on the Sunday news shows.
The stats help explain why there was such a visceral reaction to Abramson's fall and Nougayrede's departure Wednesday among many women in the field.
Former sports reporter Melissa Ludtke, who pushed through the courts for Major League Baseball to allow women sports reporters equal access to locker rooms, said that it's clear gender is still an issue in newsrooms and that now the problem has moved from the courts to a more nuanced problem.
"I think what it says to us is there is still enormous challenges for women out there, for women who assume those key and influential roles in journalism," Ludtke said. "It's tougher. It's not a situation where you can point to the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment … We're in a different zone and how you change attitudes and how you change practices that come out of those attitudes is a whole new challenge for this generation and a challenge that they have to meet without the women's movement behind them."
( Also on POLITICO: Why Jill Abramson was fired)
Liza Mundy, an author and former newspaper editor, wrote an opinion article for The New York Times last week on the report, reminiscing about the time she interviewed to become the managing editor of The Washington Post Sunday Magazine. Her biggest hurdle: remembering which senior editors were named Peter — and which weren't.
"It's been 20 years," Mundy wrote, "but things haven't changed as much as we might expect."
In supervisory positions at the country's top newspapers, 34.6 percent are held by women, according to the report.
Abramson was a trailblazer for this reason. She rose through the ranks at The New York Times to serve as the first woman executive editor.
( Also on POLITICO: Bloomberg News courted NYT's Baquet)
On Wednesday, she was out effective immediately.
The paper's publisher, Arthur Sulzberger Jr., told staff that there was "an issue with management in the newsroom," but he did not elaborate.
At a meeting Wednesday, national editor Alison Mitchell and assistant managing editor Susan Chira told Sulzberger that the decision would not sit well with women in the newsroom who view her as a role model, Capital New York reported.
Capital New York paraphrased his response: When women get to top management positions, they are sometimes fired, just as men are.
( Also on POLITICO: 10 facts about Dean Baquet)
Abramson's unexpected departure — she was at the helm just three years — sent shock waves inside and outside the paper.
Abramson noted her push for diversity during her tenure. "Our masthead became half female for the first time, and so many great women hold important newsroom positions," said Abramson in a news release.

"Bordeaux has been releasing indifferent vintages at too high a price – if you see the Liv-ex guide to en primeur, of the last 10 releases, you would have lost money on six of them," comments Liv-ex director, Justin Gibbs.
At its highest point – the 2009 release in 2010 – en primeur Bordeaux represented almost 15% of Liv-ex trade, but today it's less than 1%.

Sweetpress, the New Organic Juice Line from Sweetgreen in D.C.
Sweetgreen started with salads and frozen yogurt back in 2007, but now the DC-based mini chain has entered the cold-press juice scene. There's actually not much of a scene that yet exists in D.C.—not like New York or Los Angeles—but the Logan Circle nayb is exactly where you'd expect it to be found. On the same P Street block as Lululemon and Whole Foods, this is the only Sweetgreen location (of the 10 in the area) currently selling the juice.
The cold-press juicing process involves gently pulverizing all organic fruits and veggies with a slow-spinning blade so there's no heat involved. The pulp is then compressed with two tons of pressure to squeeze all the juice out, removing any fiber or pulpy bits so the end result is smooth and easier to chug down.
"Juice that doesn't judge" is the Sweetpress tagline. Meaning, if you had a few too many drinks (and/or Jumbo Slices) last night and your body now hates you, you can be nice to it with these juices. There are currently six flavors available ($6-7): Purify, Detox, Energize, Hydrate, Satisfy, and a rotating Seasonal juice (currently watermelon).
What does Energize taste like? Thankfully, not like RedBull. The blend of carrot, orange, and grapefruit juices get a spicy kick from fresh ginger and cayenne. At first you're expecting a sweet carroty-orange juice but then it surprises you with its heat. Take a few more sips and you start to understand it more, like it more.
Both Hydrate and the current Seasonal juices are made with a coconut water base, which lends a mild sweetness. Hydrate smells like sliced cucumbers when you go in for a sip, then it's very pineapple-forward with some pear juiciness and a spritz of lime for acidity. It's probably purpose-defeating to spike this one with Hendrick's gin, but that's what we ended up doing on a Thursday afternoon tasting... (gin + juice success)
Beet haters, the Satisfy won't satisfy you. But beet lovers, you'll appreciate the strength of beety-ness. In fact, it's a little tough to detect much of the other ingredients under all that lip-staining beet juice. It's like drinking a beet salad with a squeeze of lemon, some apple slices and parsley flecks in there.
Soon, they'll be delivering the juices but for now you have to pick them up at Sweetgreen's Logan Circle location. Each one has a three-day shelflife.
Sweetgreen 1471 P Street NW, Washington DC 20036 (map) 202-234-7336

PYONGYANG, North Korea, May 8 (UPI) -- Former NBA star Dennis Rodman called on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un via Twitter to release a U.S. citizen sentenced to 15 years of hard labor.
Rodman called on Kim to "do me a solid" and release Kenneth Bae, who was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor after being convicted in April of "hostile acts" against North Korea, CNN reported Wednesday.
"I'm calling on the Supreme Leader of North Korea or as I call him "Kim", to do me a solid and cut Kenneth Bae loose," Rodman tweeted.
Bae, a Korean-American, was arrested Nov. 3 in Rason City as a tourist. His sister, Terri Chung, told CNN last week her brother isn't a spy but a tour company owner who was in North Korea for work.
U.S. officials have been trying to learn what Bae did wrong because the North Korean statement about his conviction had no details of the allegations against him.
"This was somebody who was a tour operator, who has been there in the past and has a visa to go to the North," a senior U.S. official told CNN Monday.
NK News, a U.S. website that deals with North Korea, suggests Bae was a missionary who was trying to convert North Koreans, CNN said.
Rodman, an NBA Hall of Famer, captured headlines when he befriended Kim during a visit to Pyongyang in February. He stressed he wasn't an official diplomat between the United States and North Korea.
"I'm not a politician," Rodman tweeted. "Kim Jung Un & North Korean people are basketball fans. I love everyone. Period. End of story."

T.Q. Houlton: a (dark) knight grows up
T.Q. Houlton was only 5 years old when he first appeared on the front page of The Denver Post dressed as a knight for Halloween.
"I was in kindergarten at Sandburg Elementary School in Littleton, now Centennial," he said. "I probably went as a knight so I could slay dragons."
Houlton barely remembers the excitement of appearing on the front page in 1989, but he showed me the worn newspaper when he came across it a few months back. I've teased T.Q. that the experience led to his thirst for being quoted in the media, something that's happened on a regular basis since he began work as a Republican spokesman and operative.

BALTIMORE, May 22 (UPI) -- Chris Davis had four of Baltimore's 14 hits and one of its three home runs Wednesday, helping power the Orioles by the New York Yankees 6-3.
Baltimore scored three times in both the first and third innings, then held on to defeat the Yankees for the second straight night.
Those two wins came after the Orioles had lost the first six outings of an eight-game homestand. Baltimore will play its next six on the road.
Davis hit a two-run homer in the first after Nick Markakis had delivered a solo shot. Davis was aboard in the third when Matt Wieters hit a three-run blast.
Curtis Granderson and David Adams hit solo homers for the Yankees.
The win went to Jason Hammel (6-2), who gave up two runs on six hits with six strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.
New York starter Huroki Kuroda (6-3) left the game in the third with what the Yankees said was a bruised right calf he had suffered one inning earlier. The injury came when he was hit by a line drive off the bat of Manny Machado.
Kuroda was touched for five runs on eight hits.

Last-Minute Mother's Day Ideas
Mother's Day is the single biggest day for restaurants in the U.S., and brunch is the traditional Mother's Day meal. So be forewarned—if you don't make brunch reservations in advance, you may find yourself waiting in long lines and eating waffles at dinnertime.
Or you could come up with Plan B. Here are a few ideas to get you thinking "outside the brunch"—and you still have time to pull these off. Even better.
- Take Mom to a local farmers market this weekend. You can sample the goods, stroll around with a cup of coffee and help mom stock up on produce and homemade jelly, honey, beef jerky and the like. You might even be able to buy everything you need to make your own brunch for her.
- Pack a picnic and head for a local park or beach. It's less expensive than a brunch in a restaurant, but you can still pack brunch-like items—fresh fruits, bakery items, a couple of cheeses, bread or crackers. Also, if children are involved, a park gives them a better outlet for their energy than a fancy restaurant.
- Prepare a meal at home for Mom, and then take her out to a bakery or coffee shop later in the day for a celebratory outing. Time together over a cup of a tea and a muffin or scone is a great way to show your mother appreciation without spending a fortune on a large meal.
- If your mom has a sweet tooth, plan a dessert buffet. Have a light lunch, then bring out the "main course"—an assortment of sweets and treats that your mom can sample and enjoy throughout the day. If you want to create a theme, you could have a Chocolate Lover's spread or Sweets From Around the World.
If you know your mother is counting on a traditional outing to her favorite restaurant, pick up the phone and start dialing to reserve your spot. Otherwise, have fun being creative. Your mom may very well appreciate the extra thought and effort as you celebrate her special day.
