Act now, or the NHS will be gone forever
that's from today's BMJ http://bit.ly/y0f4nM To be clear: the LibDems are voting for a bill to reduce NHS care and charge for services.
Today's #NHSbill technical must-read: it provides a legal basis to reduce care + charge for services bit.ly/y0f4nM
36 LibDem MPs on twitter who can vote against the disastrous #NHSbill. Here are their names. http://bit.ly/AlTfqx pls RT
It's quite clever. They're changing the law to make very bad things possible, but not planning to use it *yet* #NHSbill http://bit.ly/wT0Jdi
i feel a bit like, if you're not going to bother to help yourselves, nobody else should be arsed. seriously: what are you thinking?
The fact that every LibDem MP doesn't have 1,000 people turning up to their surgeries, camping and pooing on their lawn, is a shame to u all
The dismantling of the NHS, in front of your faces, is going to change your world in 10, 20 years. you've done nothing. bit.ly/wT0Jdi
i just feel like the #NHSbill is a real turning point in my disillusionment at the nation, rather than our politicians.
i'm writing all your names down, and the ones who do nothing about the #NHSbill today are banned from whining in 2028.

As you look through the photos of the various sacramentals you will notice that most stones are completely wrapped in either silver or bronze. There are no open loops anywhere. The loops at the end of each bead are double wrapped so they will not come apart. Unbreakable Rosaries are guaranteed to never come apart under normal use. However, dropping the sacramental on a hard surface may crack the stones. You should always take great care of devotional items.

Design Your Own Rosary or Rosary Chaplet
Design Your Own Rosary or Rosary Chaplet
Custom Design Rosaries and Rosary Chaplets
ATTENTION! My dear friends,
Sterling silver has been increasing in price rapidly for the past number of years. Silver is not only used for jewelery (and in my case rosaries) but also in the industrial market. Silver is also now being horded or purchased for investment purposes the same as gold. For example- a crucifix I used to be able to purchase for $18.00 is now $35.00. My prices for devotional items is increasing based on the market value. Copper which is also used in bronze has been increasing in price for the past couple of years as it is mostly used in the industrial arena. I am not alone in this arena as many of my fellow rosary makers are faced also with the rising prices. All of my medals, crucifixes, rosary centers and various connector embellishments are made in America which I am proud to offer. I thank all my clients of the past and future clients for their patronage.
I generally have a number of different rosaries and rosary chaplets for sale on EBAY and ETSY. However there are those that have something special in mind. I will custom make a rosary or rosary chaplet just for you. A unique one-of–a-kind devotional sacramental. It is important to understand that all of my sacramentals are custom designed., however, they are custom designed by me…here's an opportunity for you to get involved., and actively participate in the design of YOUR devotional item.
It could be for yourself or someone special for a Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, Wedding Couple, Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Birthday, Lent, Easter, Christmas, etc.
It can be a lot of fun and you may enjoy this unique opportunity.
NOTE: As you look through the various devotional items I have listed on ETSY, EBAY and look at the examples on my BLOG it is important to note that these listings do not necessarily mean they can be DUPLICATED. If the materials and components are available I could certainly do that and would. However- these are meant to be examples and thought provoking for ideas of custom designing a devotional item just for you. I Hope that helps to further understand the concept of a custom designed piece. If you find something you like- we can discuss how we can proceed to attempt to accomplish the same goal.
How does it work and what I need to know to begin:
First I need to know what price range you would be interested in- Provide a price range.
Second- choose the medal- Copper, Bronze or Sterling Silver.
Third- a particular stone or stone colors that you like.
Fourth- Are you interested in a 5 decade rosary or a particular rosary chaplet- if a rosary chaplet please specify which chaplet by name.
Once I have that information I will send you photos of various stones, and some choices for centers, medals, or crucifixes that I think would be particularly suited for this sacramental and fit well with your price range.
Once you decide what you like best- I will put together an Our Father bead and a few Ave beads, show the center, crucifix and/or medal – send photos and you can review, change, etc.. until you are satisfied with the choices you have made. Based on your choices and possible upgrades selected by you may require reexamination of the original price quote.
You do need to understand that this could take some time- especially if I have to find particular stones and/or I am out of stock of something in particular. Most of my stones come from Australia, Africa, etc., and it can take time to receive them.
1. After we agree on a final design and price - A 50% down payment is required before I begin.
2. There are "absolutely no returns or refunds" on custom designed devotionals.
3. I pay for first class shipping. Insurance is required and will be billed to you. Please note that the U.S Postal Service will not insure items to various foreign countries. If this is the case and you still want to purchase the item you must accept the responsibility for non-delivery. No refund for non-delivery.
If you think you would be interested in a custom designed sacramental, you can contact me at the following email address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Send as many questions as you would like- as I am always ready to assist. Only serious clients are asked to respond.
No. 57. Holy Eucharist 5 Decade Rosary- ( NEW )
It is done in sterling silver. The natural stones are 7MM, 40 carots of Creamy Mother of Pearl and 24 carots of Azurite Chrysocolla in 10MM. It makes a beautiful presentation. Soon to be listed on Ebay.
Exactly What is a Chaplet?
The term Chaplet is used commonly to designate Roman Catholic prayer forms which use prayer beads, but are not necessarily related to the Rosary. Some of these chaplets have a strong Marian connotation, others are more directly related to Jesus or the Saints. Chaplets are considered "personal devotionals," and there is no set form and therefore they vary considerably. While the usual five decade rosary may be referred to as a chaplet, often chaplets have fewer beads than a traditional rosary and a different set of prayers.
Common Chaplets include:
· Chaplet of Divine Mercy, using ordinary rosary beads of five decades.
There exists a renewed interest in various forms of the Rosary which in fact have little to do with the classical rosary prayer itself. The term used commonly to designate these prayer forms is chaplet, probably because of their use of the beads. Some of these chaplets have a strong Marian connotation, others are more directly related to some saints. Not all of these variants of the authentic rosary are based on solid theology and devotional practice.
There are many beautiful and very powerful chaplets that can be prayed for different groups of people or occasions. Generally they are prayed on a full set of Rosary beads and all can be prayed on a set of just ten prayers beads.
There is something very special about praying a chaplet in a group, no matter how small. Remember Jesus telling us that whever two or more are gathered in His name He is there with us also. Comforting isn't it? Here's another thought to comfort us too. We all have a guardian angel, appointed to us at the moment of our conception and every time we pray we are actually praying in the company of our guardian angel! So we are never alone in prayer.

Staples boys golf downs Darien
Fresh off a pair of quality match wins that brought them back into the FCIAC conversation, the Darien boys golf team traveled to Westport Monday aiming to move to its forefront against regular conference contender Staples. While the day's weather could not have been more cooperative to the squad's cause, illness, a handful of unfortunate bounces and one sizable home course advantage erased any shot of Wave victory at Longshore Golf Course.
Led by a 3-under score from No. 1 player Peter Richards, the Wreckers dropped Darien 145-155, lowering the Wave's record to 8-3 overall. Sophomore Christian Ostberg posted a score of 37, good for the lowest Wave mark of the day at 2 over par. Ostberg competed in the No. 2 group won by Staples' Andrew Felman, who shot an even par. Darien's No. 1 golfer, senior co-captain Mac Koorbusch, ended with an unusually high 43, as a result of tough triple bogeys on the first and sixth holes.
Yet, according to Wave coach Tom O'Donnell, had Darien even been able to notch a typical team score, it still may not have been enough to top the hosting Wreckers.
"I think we're capable of playing that well, but we would've had to have played our best round of the year to beat them today," O'Donnell said. "When a team plays that well, you've just got to shake their hand, look them in the eye and say congratulations ... I've never seen that score lose a match."
Cameron Van de Graaf, Darien's other senior co-captain, shot a 41 in the No. 3 group, as he dealt with a nagging sickness. Upon approaching the seventh hole par-5, Van De Graaf stood at solid 2 over, but a triple bogey rapidly changed his fortunes and allowed Staples sophomore Noah Robins to gain ground. However, the Wave senior would hold him off, besting Robins by a single stroke after nine holes.
"He was playing beautifully until he hit that triple bogey on seven," O'Donnell said. "But he's sick as a dog, and he was a real trooper trying to get through it today."
One hole earlier on six, Ostberg fell behind Felman due to a unfortunate bounce that strayed him from the green and led to an eventual double bogey, his only misstep of the day. Felman then managed to extend his lead to two strokes by sinking a 15-foot putt on eight that all but ensured another individual Staples victory.
"I parred eight holes and doubled the sixth," Ostberg said. "That one will sting a little bit. I just got a couple bad breaks on that one and wasn't able to get out of it mentally. But overall, I played pretty solid and was pretty happy with how it went."
Outside of Darien's struggles on a couple holes, the deciding edge for the Wreckers proved to be their ability to putt on slower home greens, which were still recovering from a brutally dry summer one year ago.
"I think what it was was that they made more puts than we did," O'Donnell said. "Nobody for us was claiming to have made any putts at all ... and that's the thing with golf. There's no bigger home course advantage anywhere in the world of sports than in golf. But, having said that, they just played better than us today."
Down in the No. 4 grouping, sophomore Sam Knowlton earned a 39, a score propped up by a couple putts that lipped out. Darien's No. 5 golfer, Brendan Cassidy, shot one better at 38, largely thanks to an excellent birdie on the eighth hole. Cassidy filled in for sophomore Jack Klingman, who sat out with wrist injury.
Looking ahead, Klingman is expected to return sooner rather than later to his accustomed No. 2 slot, which ought to provide a significant boost to the Wave in its upcoming matches that will lead up to the FCIAC championship on June 2.
"We're going to have to play better than we did today, if we want to contend for championships," O'Donnell said. "The good news is we can play better than we did today. So, I'm not real disappointed."

Family Research Council Sued for Sexual Harassment and Discrimination by Former Official
In order to make it appear as if they actually care what the womenfolk think, fanatical religious right groups like the Family Research Council like to create token positions for women within the company, with lofty sounding titles like "Director of Women's and Reproductive Health." Who could ever be opposed to that? What war on women?
So it's kind of embarrassing, but also highly revealing, when the former Director of Women's and Reproductive Health for the Family Research Council sues the organization for vindictively firing her when she filed a sexual harassment complaint against her sexist pig boss.
According to court documents first obtained and reported by journalist Evan Gahr, former FRC employee Moira Gaul, 42, filed a complaint in 2009 with the District of Columbia Human Rights Commission in which she accused her supervisor of gender discrimination. She claimed that her boss, the director of the Center for Human Life and Bioethics at the time, referred to the use of birth control pills as "whoring around," addressed emails to her with the words "hi cutie," pressured her to attend parties, and referred to her as a "young, attractive woman."
"His attitude toward me and other women was rude, belittling, and at times, angry," she wrote in the complaint.
Gahr identified Gaul's former supervisor as prominent anti-abortion lawyer William Saunders, who now works at the anti-abortion group Americans United for Life. Saunders and his attorney, William J. Hickey, did not respond to requests for comment on the case.
The FRC fired Gaul shortly after she filed the complaint, citing a loss in federal funding for abstinence — Gaul's area of expertise — and the need for someone with more experience on abortion issues. Gaul claims the FRC also retroactively canceled her health insurance for the time that she was on short-term disability for systemic lupus.

Hiking, Heritage and Stargazing – the best way to explore the Southern Alps
A short itinerary suggestion for a little outdoor activity, some Kiwi history and discovering outer space, all in two memorable days in the Mt Cook region.
1 / 5
Hike through alpine valleys, explore glacial lakes and be inspired by the glittering lights of the universe – here's how to experience the landscapes surrounding New Zealand's highest peak.
The backbone of New Zealand, the Southern Alps stretch the length of the South Island, their crowning jewel being Aoraki Mount Cook – the country's highest mountain. Steeped in local history, the foothills of this dramatic mountain range are home to stories of kiwi legends, walking trails and some of the best stargazing in the world. Make the most of this natural wonderland with a little advice from local experts.
One of the best bases from which to explore the Southern Alps is Mount Cook Village, located in the foothills of this grand mountain range. From here, world-class stargazing, stunning hiking trails and insights into New Zealand mountaineering history are all right on your doorstep. What's more, surrounding this village are some of the most scenic roads in the country. The journey is just as beautiful as the destination when it comes to reaching Mount Cook Village. We recommend travelling the scenic road from Queenstown, staying a few nights in the village itself, then heading on towards Christchurch along yet another stunningly beautiful piece of highway.
Hooker Valley hiking
While you're here, spend half a day walking to the very base of the Southern Alps along the Hooker Valley trail, one of the most scenic tracks in the country. Valleys of golden tussock contrast with soaring, snowy peaks, and the spectacular views of Aoraki Mount Cook – the Cloud Piercer – are breath taking. When in season, the delicate Mount Cook lily decorates the landscape even further. This well-formed track is mostly flat, crossing multiple swing bridges and incorporating a visit to the stunning Hooker Glacier terminal lake. The beginning of the track is a short drive from the village itself.
Home to the darkest skies in the world
In New Zealand, the heavens appear closer to earth – and nowhere more so than in the skies above Mount Cook Village. Here lies the New Zealand's International Dark Sky Reserve and one of only three designated 'Gold' reserves in the world. Covering 4,300 square kilometres and far from any city lights, this is the best place for stargazing in the country. Become orientated with the Southern Skies with a visit to the digital planetarium, run by Big Sky Stargazing, followed by a magical night of outdoor stargazing. High-powered binoculars and state-of-the-art telescopes bring the star clusters, planets, moons and distant galaxies of our universe to life.
A history of adventure
The Hermitage Hotel, located in Mount Cook Village itself, is steeped in the adventurous kiwi spirit. First built in 1884, the hotel has been challenged by flood, fire, triumph and tragedy; and today it is the ultimate place to stay for those wanting to experience the Mount Cook region first-hand. The hotel is also home to the Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Centre, an enduring tribute to one of New Zealand's most accomplished adventurers. Sir Ed – as he is affectionately known – used the Southern Alps as a training ground for his mountaineering conquests. In 1953, Sir Ed was the first person to summit Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world. Afterwards, his philanthropy work in the Himalayas of Nepal cemented his place in New Zealand history. The Alpine Centre showcases the history of the Mount Cook region and the life of Sir Ed himself through a theatre, exhibitions and artefacts. After a day hiking in the Hooker Valley, spending an hour or two in the Alpine Centre helps you to gain a deeper understanding of the Aoraki Mount Cook region and its importance to generations of New Zealanders.
Lake Tekapo
Departing Mount Cook Village and travelling towards to Christchurch, you'll drive past beautiful, jewel-coloured Lake Tekapo. Its panoramic views out towards the snowy peaks of the Alps make it a perfect photo stop. On its shore lies the tiny and charming Church of the Good Shepherd, once built for the pioneering families of the surrounding districts. Lake Tekapo is one of the most impressive highlights on the journey to Christchurch.
Inspired to explore more of New Zealand's most beautiful places? Aoraki/Mount Cook and the foothills of the Southern Alps are just one of many stunning destinations – the country is also home to breath taking fiords, rainforests, glaciers, lagoons and forests. New Zealand Trails offer active, easy going guided walking tours of the South Island's most magnificent natural locations – the suggestions above form days 11,12 and 13 of our small group guided walking tour itinerary. Find out more about New Zealand Trails here, or contact us now.

Where should I start when remodeling a bathroom?
Bathroom remodeling doesn't have to be overwhelming. Before starting a bathroom remodel it's crucial to know what you want and have a clear understanding of your maximum budget. If you'd love all marble fixtures but have $3,000 total, you will have to compromise. Being realistic about materials and money before you even contact a contractor will have you on the road to success. Here are some simple steps to follow in the planning stages of bathroom remodeling:
- List your remodeling priorities in order of importance (e.g., 1. New shower head, 2. Replace flooring, 3. Install recessed lighting, etc.).
- Calculate what you can realistically afford to spend on your bathroom remodel. Identify an "all in" price — meaning the absolute maximum you're willing to pay, as well as what you'd prefer to spend.
- Gather ideas from Pinterest about colors and finishes.
- Research the costs of the materials and finishes you want and begin making choices about what is and isn't possible to fit into your budget (once labor is included). If you'd like to stay under $10,000 total, but really love a $2,000 tub, plan to downgrade in other areas.
- Request quotes from at least three reputable general contractors, share your vision and ideal materials, and work together from there.
How do I plan a bathroom remodeling project?
If you're stumped on how to plan a bathroom remodeling project, it pays to hire a designer. This is especially important if you're changing your bathroom layout in any way. Designers create contractor-friendly drawings indicating exactly where each tile and fixture will be installed, down to the light switches. This investment might cost you $300-$500 but save you significant frustration and miscommunication, while ensuring you get precisely what you want.
If you're going to do your own design, planning a bathroom remodeling project means being organized and planning ahead. Create a general outline of what you want and the budget you have. Identify the specific fixtures, tiles, paint and vanity you prefer. Get all this organized before requesting quotes from two to three reputable general contractors. Once you find the right pro, get a written contract outlining scope of work, materials that will be used, timeframe and payment schedule. Communicate clearly about when to order your materials so they are ready and waiting by the time the contractor gets the permits. Your job from here is to communicate clearly, pay the contractor as the work progresses, and enjoy your remodel when it's done.
For more on where to start when remodeling a bathroom check out The Complete Thumbtack Bathroom Remodel Guide.
How long should a bathroom remodel take?
With proper planning and a good general contractor, your bathroom remodeling project doesn't have to take forever. The construction phase of the project will always vary based on your scope of work, the square footage and the condition of your bathroom under the surface layer. Inevitably an 80-square-foot master bathroom with major changes will take longer than a 25-square-foot guest bath undergoing a minor renovation. For a smaller bathroom, a facelift — the industry term for sprucing up the surface layer (such as paint, vanity, tiles or light fixtures) but keeping the existing footprint of the space — may take five to eight working days, as long as there are no surprises like mold waiting when the old vanity comes out. A more complex bathroom remodel that revamps the shower area (customizing the plumbing, installing tile and changing the shower door), updates the flooring and cabinetry, and adds new paint and new lighting could take anywhere from one week to three weeks. A full bathroom remodel that guts the room, changing the footprint and moving the electrical wiring and plumbing lines, could take four to eight weeks or more. To keep your bathroom remodel on schedule, have your materials ordered and waiting, and don't make any change orders once construction begins. Planning is key to keeping a bathroom remodel on schedule.
For more on how long a bathroom remodel should take check out The Complete Thumbtack Bathroom Remodel Guide.
Who remodels bathrooms?
The professional best equipped to handle bathroom remodeling is a general contractor. A general contractor is typically licensed by the state or region in which they work to carry out home remodeling projects. To receive licensing, they must generally demonstrate their knowledge of construction and building and safety codes. General contractors act as the organizer for the entire bathroom remodeling project, ensuring that each element (new tile, shower pan replacement, lighting installation, etc.) is completed at the appropriate time by the proper contractor. Before hiring a general contractor, it's wise to do your research. In addition to getting several competitive bids, here are questions to ask:
- May I see before-and-after photos of some of your recent bathroom remodels?
- Will I need permits for this project? Do you apply for those?
- May I see proof of insurance and licenses?
- Can we have a written contract outlining scope of work, budget and timeline?
- Will you be here each day overseeing the work?

How do I remodel my bathroom?
Bathroom remodeling is made up of three general phases. The first phase is the planning and permitting phase, in which you determine exactly what you want, what materials and finishes will be used, and what the end product will look like. If you're competent with design you can handle the planning yourself, or you may hire an interior designer to guide you. During this phase you'll also hire a general contractor who can help execute your remodel vision, coordinating and overseeing all the subcontractors required to do the bathroom remodeling (plumbers, flooring pros, etc.). When your plan is finalized, your contractor should obtain permits for the work you want done. During this time you'll work together to order all the materials so they'll be ready and waiting when it's time to start construction.
The second phase is construction. Bathroom remodeling typically starts with demolition, removing the old floors, shower and vanity to make way for the new. Delays in delivery of materials, or changing your mind and ordering different materials halfway into the project, will mean that construction has to pause until the new materials arrive. Each subcontractor is dependent on the next to do their work, and the general contractor should keep things moving along at the proper timeline, ensuring that the right materials are available and dealing promptly with any unexpected repairs, such as damage discovered behind the walls or under the floor. The general contractor will also coordinate inspections from the necessary officials if you've moved load-bearing walls or done electrical or plumbing work. After construction is complete, the final phase of bathroom remodeling is addressing your punch list. These are all the items that need to be corrected before final payment is handed over to the contractor.

A proposal for an official CHICKEN "Change Request" process
by Felix Winkelmann
This is a proposal for having a more formal process of making changes to the core system. Through the ever-increasing number of extensions and their more and more complex interdependencies it has become quite crucial to be careful when making changes that might introduce incompatibilities to older code and extensions. Another intent is to make the process of extending and enhancing the CHICKEN core more democratic and give all members of the CHICKEN team a chance to participate in finding, discussing and deciding over core changes.
It is probably worth trying to keep this process lightweight and efficient to avoid getting bogged down in endless discussions or the uncontrolled growth of "wish-list" items that never get done. A number of ideas are given to address these problems.
The proposed steps
A change-request ("CR") is made by creating a TRAC ticket containing a detailed description of the change, if possible including a patch or implementation code. The ticket should be marked as being a CR.
The existence of the ticket is announced on the "chicken-hackers" mailing list.
The proposal is discussed, with a minimal discussion period of two weeks. If no response or feedback has been received after this period, it must be assumed nobody cares or at least nobody has a problem with the change. If necessary, the discussion period is extended, at the discretion of the person that proposed the change and depending on the amount of input that comes up or questions that this proposal raises. Since all voting members should be able to scrutinize the proposal, it may be necessary to extend the discussion period to give everybody a chance to get involved. After a fixed maximum discussion period, it must be assumed that the proposal needs more thought or modifications to be accepted. In this case the ticket should be closed and possibly reopened once it has been re-evaluated or modified. When the initial discussion period is about to pass and the CR approaches voting, a message should be sent to the "chicken-hackers" mailing list as a reminder.
All members vote on the proposal. Members that abstain from giving a vote are assumed to accept it. If at least one member votes against the proposal, the proposal is rejected. The voting period should not exceed one week. The idea behind requiring unanimosity is to avoid creeping featurism.
If rejected, the CR ticket is closed, if accepted, the change should be implemented and the ticket closed once the implementation is complete and has been integrated into the "experimental" or "master" branches of the core git repository. Whoever is responsible for integrating changes (in the moment this is me) should review the implementation for obvious bugs and merge the change.
Note: The role of the reviewer/integrator is not specified in more detail here. In the interest of consistency it might be advisable to keep the group of reviewers/integrators as small as possible.
A rejected CR may be re-discussed and voted over a second time, if the person or group of persons responsible for the CR consider it important enough to try to convince opponents of the change. If rejected a second time, the CR should be dropped completely and moved into the wiki, to allow later review and to avoid that CRs for the same thing get submitted again and again.
This process should not apply to trivial changes or obvious bug-fixes. The distinction between trivial changes and bugfixes on the one hand and critical or complex enhancements on the other hand is naturally not always easy to make. Any change that may look trivial from the outset may turn out to break a lot of stuff, so it is advisable to follow this process even for small things.
Currently changes are made in an ad-hoc manner - some core developers (actually, me) make changes based on the personal perception of an insufficiency or worthwhile enhancement in the core system and on personal matters of taste. Since CHICKEN is the result of a combined effort of a group of people, and because it is increasingly becoming more difficult to anticipate the side effects of a change it would be more democratic and more safe to consult and involve other members of the "inner" circle of CHICKEN hackers and maintainers. Changes made by someone considered the "main" hacker may also be perceived as arbitrary, and thus lead to animosity or frustration.
Latest changes:
- extend initial period to 2 weeks (Kon)
- keep rejected CRs (Kon)
- remind voters of upcoming deadline (Kon)

Posts tagged '2nd amendment'
America's new President, Barack Obama, took office 18 days ago. Already he has appointed several tax cheats to his Administration. One of them is now in charge of the Treasury Department, and by extension, the IRS. The Administration and Congressional Democrats are now using the same fear-mongering propaganda we came to despise from the Bush (and Clinton, Bush, Reagan, et cetera) Administration to pass equally misleading "emergency" legislation. Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, argued on behalf of the Washington D.C. total gun ban in front of the Supreme Court in the recent Heller case, and may soon be in charge of which guns are acceptable for civilians to own. Troop levels and deaths in Afghanistan and Pakistan are up, the troops in Iraq aren't coming home anytime soon, and new, unconstitutionally appointed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is taking a hard-line Brzezinski-esque approach to Iran. It looks as though we'll soon be borrowing nearly a trillion dollars, at interest, from the Federal Reserve, a private corporation and a company which employed Treasury Secretary Timothy Geitner until his appointment to the Cabinet. The promised tax cuts for ninety-five percent of Americans are nowhere in sight. Reuters today reported that the promised health care reform will be delayed.
Somehow, I do not believe that this is the change Americans voted for.

Where Did You Go, John Allen?
I have never seen anything by Allen before in any other magazines from the '50s or '60s. How is that possible? He was terrific!
Maybe Parents magazine was John Allen's "big break." But why then haven't I come across his work elsewhere? It's a mystery...
And unfortunately, with a fairly common name like John Allen, doing a search on the Internet proved to be not very helpful.
Hopefully someone out there will be able to fill us in -- it's happened so many times before.
For now, this is all we have - here's to the talented John Allen, wherever he went - let's hope it was to a long and successful career!
13 comments:
No kidding---nice stuff! Hope someone here can shed some light on John as well as point to more examples...ReplyDelete
Oh man... thanks for the reminder! I haven't looked through my bound volumes of Parent's Mag in a few years. In the complete 1959 and 1963 years there's a ton of great illustration work in the features alone...ReplyDelete
Beside the Parents Mag group (Humpty Dumpty, Children's Digest, etc) regulars there's Ginnie Hoffman, Bob Peak, "Greenwald, R", Leonard Shortall, Don Madden, Bob Levering and tons others.
I've got my reading for the next while!
Complete runs of 1959 AND 1963. Just the two years worth. I do have one or two other single copies from the late 50s as well.ReplyDelete
I meant to mention that there are other examples of John Allen's work in those bound volumes.
Wow, yeah this is great stuff! I want to say that I've seen his work for a humor gag book from around that time, but I could be wrong. LOVE this stuff!ReplyDelete
Still... I'm probably going to have to hit you up for some scans, ol' pal! ;^)ReplyDelete
Ah! I am also looking for an illustrator - my favorite Thumbelina story when I was little; watercolor and ink. There was also a Rapunzel book as well. It was stylized like Alphonse Mucha; but not.ReplyDelete
Actually... this post inspired me to look a little harder and I found her. Would be great to see a post about Christine Willlis Nigoghossian.ReplyDelete
That so remind's me of the Highlight's for Children that I had to read while waiting for the dentist in the 1960's (while the whole time I was wishing for a copy of Mad Magazine.) Maybe check with them - Highlight's, not Mad.ReplyDelete

This blog is moving, to somehwere else. Destination undetermined yet. I'm bored of you all and want to blog in private again, or to strangers again. If I get tired or bored I'll come back, but until then, wish me luck.
In the meantime, don't come here again. Look for me elsewhere if you care [keywords = sex, love, sense, thought, logic, me, her, it, gods, now, then, back, whenever, whatever, human, bla, bla, bla].
If you're still wondering, ask yourself this. Did you learn anything from reading this blog? I sure as hell hope not, otherwise, you had no clue before. Then, if all you've learnt is about some shallow guy who calls himself Mohamed from Cairo, about his simple thoughts and dummy reflections, then you've been wasting your time, and you should thank me for saving you from my crap no more. Even as plain entertainment, this is not good enough. Just because its that easy to publish my thoughts onto the world wide web doesn't mean they're worth reading. I should be the only one to enjoy reading them. Remember, "I write to know what I think", so I'm just curious about myself and my mind. I had started with good intentions, but it really sucks now.
If you've really enjoyed it that you're planning to look for me elsewhere or to come back here wondering if you'll find me here again, then you're really obsessed and need immediate care.
In 5 years I've moved 8 times, and in the last 3 years I've moved 0 times (5 jobs don't count as moving). I got used to moving that I've missed it. Packing is so easy this time!

Natalie Cole
Neil McKim visits the Park Plaza Hotel where Natalie Cole performs its inaugural jazz concert
It's not many performers who can introduce songs by talking about various aunts and uncles as being 'Auntie Ella [Fitzgerald]' or 'Uncle Frank [Sinatra]' but Natalie Cole, the daughter of Nat King Cole – who has famously performed and recorded her father's classics, as well as having a successful career of her own – is able to reel-off countless celebrity childhood influences.
She was in the UK recently for a one-off concert on a worldwide tour, and to launch a jazz venue in the newly opened Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel. Looking stunning in a shimmering dress, the 60-year-old singer delivered a set of jazz-vocal classics with her seven-piece band. 'They tell me that we're opening this room for the first time so we want to fill it with some of the greatest music of all time…' she said, after a riveting version of Peggy Lee's 'Fever' accompanied by double bass, performed in front of over 750 candlelit diners in the hotel's colossal Westminster Ballroom.
Her pianist Josh Nelson bought some distinctly McCoy Tyner touches to 'My Favourite Things', and Cole showed she could scat-sing like the best of them in her father's Trio classic 'Route 66'. In fact, it's fair to say that she pretty much made every syllable swing.
A highlight among her father's many hits was 1954's 'Smile' – 'This song was given to my dad by the late, great Charlie Chaplin' – and, of course 'Unforgettable' which she movingly performed in duet with her father's recorded voice, while footage of him was projected on large screens.
Cole's '80s pop hits were understandably less prominent in the programme but her band lended itself perfectly to her own '70s gospel-tinged classic 'This Will Be (Everlasting Love)'. She had one of the longest off-stage encore gaps I've seen, which helped raise the anticipation and got everyone up on their feet – it was 'nice to see' Bruce Forsyth among them.
The Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel has risen from the ashes of a former monstrosity, which many Londoners will remember as the concrete County Hall annexe on the roundabout just over Westminster Bridge – voted one of the ugliest buildings in the UK before it was demolished in 2006.
In contrast, the state-of-the art hotel built in its place and its lavish 1,200m-squared Westminster Ballroom is aiming to become a mark on the capital's jazz calendar. It's doing this with a series of events called 'LIVE from the Plaza' – which will include jazz-themed music programme and dining.

Reflecting on Halloween Past and Present
I've been reflecting on Halloween(s) past and present after tending to a sick kid all week.
She's SO MUCH better...but it has been a LONG 8 days. Waiting at the doctor's office.
Making-up homework. Refereeing sibling "disagreements" (screaming matches)
Trying not to go insane. Craving my art studio. Craving "me time."
Waiting for a return to the old routine. Grateful it hasn't been worse
(and I know it could be/could have been so much worse)

* Woolly Bear Caterpillar Habitat
Our yard is full of woolly bear caterpillars right now.
The girls are having so much fun playing with them.
Why not turn it into a fun science lesson?
We did some online research about our woolly friends
and found this great source of information.
They eat a variety of plants,
we're picking fresh grass and a few leaves (they like dandelions)
to put in there each day, along with a light spritz of water
(like dew drops -- from our snail tank spritzer)
When they seem sluggish, we'll give them a layer of dry leaves/debris to hibernate in.
We're planning to let them hibernate in our garage
over the winter then, they'll spin cocoons in the spring
and we'll watch them hatch into Tiger Moths!
We had an old fish tank in the garage that we repurposed into
a woolly bear habitat.
The woolly bear tank in the Frog Princess' room...and yes, her
beanie baby snail is wearing antennae warmers : )
So cute and fuzzy...like little pipe cleaner friends.
I'm the lame mom who calls them "the Woolly Berenstain Bears"
yeah... my kids don't think it's funny either.

Science At Home: Anti-Gravity Brooms
(My sweet Frog Princess model is in her PJs
since she's battling Swine Flu this weekend)
My in-laws called this weekend to let us know
you can stand up a broom
in your house right now
because there is something wacky
with the Earth's gravity.
(they've had one standing in their kitchen for a week!
can you tell they don't have small kids around anymore?)
I don't know how long this phenomenon will last,
or what is causing it...
On the day of the equinox, the Day Arc of the sun is 0 degrees.
The exact date and time of the September equinox is September 22, 2009 at 21:18, or 9:18 pm.
While no exact date is available for the end of the Autumn Equinox,
the effects of the equinox can still be enjoyed now.
(article from the St. Louis Parenting Teens Examiner)
it is TOO COOL for School!
Perfect for (mini) witches and warlocks out there!
Or just freak out your kids/spouse
and tell them you've learned
a new magic trick.
Hey teachers... this might be
fun to try at school this week!!
Pink and Green Mama Note:
hmmm... I'm not sure why I'm getting so many
comments about folks who can't get it to work.
It's easier with a straight broom than an angled one.
No, I don't think you can use a push broom.
No, it's not a prank.
I posted this on Facebook Yesterday and got a dozen
responses from people who could get it to work,
one friend had to use her kid's broom instead but
DID get it to work.
Use a light touch,
and be patient.
No breezes, make sure your windows are closed.
Please let me know if you DO get it to work.

Halloween Fun: Toilet Paper Roll Pumpkin Craft
This is what my kitchen table looked like at breakfast time on Wednesday.
(the kitchen table photo... not the toilet photo!)
Yes, that cup of coffee was my breakfast.
I was cutting fabric squares and glue-gunning brown paper into little tubes
to prepare for a visit to my youngest daughter's preschool classroom.
I started my visit by telling them
this adorable Halloween Paper Story
from (one of my favorites!) Itty Bitty Love blog. (the kids and teachers loved it!)
Then we made
It is such a simple craft/activity with a
100% success rate for this group of 2.5 year olds!
Original instructions can be found on the Family Fun website.
To make your own, you'll need: fabric (approx. 22" x 18"),
toilet paper (can you say dollar store?), brown paper for stems
(or a stick, or a cinnamon stick), and a green pipe cleaner for a vine.
(or a stick, or a cinnamon stick), and a green pipe cleaner for a vine.
You'll get 4 pumpkins out of 1 yard of fabric (you'll cut the fabric into fourths)
Set the TP roll in the center of your fabric square, tuck and stuff the fabric into the tube.
Add a rolled paper stem, and bend a pipe cleaner as the vine.
Easy (and practical) craft.
I'll be making them again this week with the Frog Princess' first grade class
at their Fall Harvest party.

Preschool at Home: Twizzler Shape Lesson
I told the Frog Princess
I needed her help
to teach her little sister
Once I explained the lesson,
she was more than willing to help out.
I read this great post at
Teach Mama
and knew it was something we couldn't pass up.
We printed out her wonderful
Then slipped them in some plastic sheet protectors.
(leftover from my magazine filing system,
After a trip to the store
to pick up a package of Twizzler Pull-and Peel candy
(watermelon flavor in case you wondered)
we were ready to play!

Pink and Green Mama Crafts: Halloween Stained Glass Templates
The girls and I decided to jazz things up with some homemade
"stained glass" for our art studio and playroom windows.
"stained glass" for our art studio and playroom windows.
We're getting ready for Halloween fun.
just some friendly kitties, ghosts,
pumpkins and bats.
Here's my secret art teacher weapon:
They will save you time and frustration,
allowing younger children (and their parents)
to create festive decorations without difficulty.
You can make some too!
I've made a set of templates and illustrated step-by-step directions

Preschool At Home: Practice With Scissors
The Mini-Saurus is 32 months old now
and showing an interest in a lot of
"big girl"
fine motor skills work.
She just wants to do whatever her big sister is up to.
So, we've been having our own
mini preschool lessons at home in the mornings
after her sister climbs on that big yellow bus.
One of her favorite lessons right now
is our practicing with scissors.
I set up a bucket with strips of paper scraps
and two pairs of children's scissors.
Obviously this is something we
only do together,
I would never let a child this age use scissors without supervision!
(I still supervise my husband with scissors)
I model how to properly hold the scissors
with her thumb on top.
(like you're going to shake someone's hand)
How to hold the strip of paper
and keep your fingers away from the scissor blades.
And of course,
how to carry scissors the safe way
by holding the blades in your fist.
You can also start
scissor work with
preschoolers using play-doh
and plastic play scissors.
She's doing very well,
and LOVES her new
big girl scissor skills.
I'm savoring my mornings at home
with my little cutie-pie
before the big yellow bus gobbles her up!

Painting Fall Trees With Kids
I adore That Artist Woman's blog.
She is a WONDERFUL art teacher
and has so many great ideas
(she's on my sidebar and one of my regular must-reads).
I saw these fall trees this summer
and couldn't wait to do a version
with my own artists in residence.
She used watercolor washes for her beautiful
fall color backgrounds
but we decided to try out
tissue paper collage on ours.
I remember making paintings like this with
my mom and her watercolors when I was a little girl.
First we glued some
(shades of orange) tissue paper
squares to a fuscia sheet of paper.
Then we made a big, wet,
black watercolor puddle
at the bottom of the page.
Then I gave the Frog Princess
a straw from our Inventions Box
(you can also use a ballpoint pen tube)
and told her to blow.
You may need to add a little more
of a puddle to your paint blob
as you go to get the tree going.
You could also do this with very watery
paint (watered down tempera)
I love the black tree silhouette against the bold colors.
Happy Fall Crafting!

Preschool At Home: Halloween Tissue Paper Craft
The Mini-Saurus and I did some Halloween crafting this week.
We got this great idea from another blogger here.
We made a Pumpkin and (her idea) a mini Witch.
First we fished this cereal box out of the recycling bin,
then I sketched out a pumpkin shape and cut it out for her.
Then we started to cover it with glue and I showed her how to
crumple tissue paper squares and add them to the glue.
The witch got the same treatment.
Our finished pumpkin!
Perfect to hang in a window, perch on a seasonal nature table or display on the fridge.

Preschool At Home: Smelling Game
We resurrected an oldie but goodie.
The Smelling Game.
We filled small plastic jars
with various kid-safe scents
(for example: cinnamon, mint gum,
vinegar, lemon extract, vanilla,
allspice, pepper, etc.)
One scent per two jars
so they make a matched set.
Then we place a cotton ball on top
so you can't see what's inside.
You take off the lids
use your sense of smell,
find the matching pairs.
The girls love it.
It's great practice for
opening and closing
jar lids too!

TEHRAN, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Iran has filed a lawsuit at the International Court of Justice in a bid to force Russia to sell it the powerful S-300PMU air-defense system under an $800 million contract Moscow abrogated in 2010, citing U.N. sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear program.
But Moscow's move in reneging on the 2007 deal was largely political, and if its relations with the West deteriorate it could decide to deliver the five mobile units it agreed to sell the Iranians.
Much will depend on how important Moscow views its relations with Iran.
Russia has been a key arms supplier to the Islamic republic in the past and is building a nuclear reactor on the Persian Gulf coast at Bushehr, despite repeated U.S. objections.
It's likely the S-300s could become a major pawn in Russia's relationship with the United States.
Right now Moscow is looking to the West to help modernize strategic economic sectors, so it's unlikely it will accede to pressure from Tehran in a legal dispute that could drag on for years.
Iran's ambassador to Moscow, Mahmoud-Reza Sajjadi, said Aug. 24 Tehran rejects the Russian claim that air-defense systems fall under the U.N. sanctions and expects the court to authorize the delivery of the missiles.
Iran made a down payment of $170 million after the contract was signed in December 2007.
Tehran wanted to take delivery of the S-300s as soon as possible because it was concerned at the time that Israel would unleash pre-emptive airstrikes against its nuclear program.
The S-300 is considered one of the world's most advanced air-defense systems, ranking alongside the all-altitude MIM-104 Patriot system built by the Raytheon Co. of Massachusetts.
It would be a formidable addition to Iranian air defenses around key nuclear installations.
The system, developed by NPO Almaz of Moscow, can engage multiple targets, missiles as well as aircraft, at ranges of more than 100 miles at low and high altitudes.
U.S. military officers said the S-300 would be a "game-changer" for Iran if it ever received the mobile batteries.
At present, the Iranian air-defense system does not have anything remotely as powerful as the S-300.
Israeli aircraft could penetrate without too much trouble, although there would be losses. But with S-300s in place it would be immensely more difficult to knock out any nuclear sites and losses would be much higher.
Russia has sold the S-300PMU to most of the former Soviet republics as well as to China and North Korea.
The United States and Israel pressed Moscow hard not to deliver the missiles to Iran, and this is understood to have influenced Moscow when Tehran demanded the S-300s be delivered.
The U.N. sanctions, imposed in June 2010, supposedly provided a convenient way out for the Russians.
"The promise of the sale to Iran has served as leverage for Moscow in its negotiations with the United States, and Moscow does not want to lose that leverage," observed U.S. security think tank Stratfor.
"Furthermore, actually delivering the missile systems to Iran would cause a major break in relations between Russia and the West at a time when Russia is looking to the West for assistance, increasing cooperation with the United States and strengthening its relationships with Western European powers."
As it is, Russia has another reason not to provide Iran with the S-300s: It's expected to wrap production of the system this year.
Moscow has been replacing its own deployed S-300s with the more advanced S-400 over the past few years.
It's believed to be ahead of schedule in developing the S-500s system, which could be ready for production by the end of 2012.
But, Stratfor cautioned, if Moscow's dealings with the West go sour, it would still have stocks of S-300s, including those it will be replacing, to send to Iran if it decided the geopolitical climate had changed.
And it could also use third parties to make the deliveries, as it has in the past to mask politically sensitive arms sales.
"Russia is planning to replace S-300s with S-400s in its allied neighboring countries, like Belarus, Armenia and Kazakhstan," Stratfor said.
"Any Iranian officials' visits to such countries could indicate whether Russia is in fact delivering the S-300s to Iran, as Tehran's ability to acquire the system cannot be ruled out."

Catherine Quiroga, CFCA director of information services, sent us this reflection from Peru. She has safely returned to the U.S. after joining Walk2gether, which continues in Peru.
From ìHeroes/Saints of the Walkî to ìSaints of LimaîÖ. The hijas de la misericordia (Sisters of Mercy) who run the residence home for girls are my No. 1 candidates.
The love and loving discipline they lavish on these girls are evident in how wholesome, happy and loving the girls are. The girls learn not just school subjects but life lessons ñ how to cook, clean and take care of each other.
The mother superior was here from Chile. She frequently served us and quietly cleared the table. Her attitude of gentle service and compassion is shown in each of the sisters.
One stood out among the others (although she probably wouldnít want to) ñ Hermana (or rather Madre) Cristina. As Bob (CFCA President Bob Hentzen) said, her spirit permeates this place ñ her joyful spirit and openness. Ö I believe those closest to God are full of joy. Over the last few days we have walked with God through these precious sisters.
Weíre sad to leave but onward we go ñ step by step.
Day one
Walked into Lima today Ö More than 80 people were ready to walk at 3:30 a.m..
The Walk2gether team continues through Peru.
Ö. It was a challenge keeping this group secure along the road, but they started dropping out at the end of the first 5K, catching buses to return home. At 15K most were done ñ leaving us with about 12 girls from the residence home and the core group as we neared the center of Lima.
I was tracking our speed on my Garmin GPS ñ doing 1 km (about 0.6 mile) in less than 13 minutes. Ö
By now, my feet were ready to stop. I am so glad Bob had cut back to 35 km/day (more than 21 miles per day).
After an hour passed, I thought maybe Israel (our support vehicle driver) missed seeing the marker. We kept moving. Finally we came to a different style of marking ñ it said CFCA.
Turns out the police saw where the original marker was and decided it was too dangerous for us to stop there so they removed it. Ö Bob estimates we probably did more than 40 km (about 25 miles) with all the side roads, highway crossings and the additional km ñ all before lunch.
Day two
Girls from the residence home arrived mid-morning along with Hermana Cristina and a newly ordained priest friend of hers. We eventually left Lima.
At 30K, we stopped at a nice highway rest stop ñ gasoline station/eating places fairly similar to those in the U.S. Ö
After lunch and the final 5K, we bid the girls farewell ñ from here on, it will probably just be the core group.
A child dressed in Peruvian clothing
Days three and four
We walked past the beaches south of Lima. Almost everyone took the opportunity to sit and watch the ocean.
As we get farther south of Lima you see the wealthier side of Peru ñ motocross bike paths on the hillsides, more personal cars on the road.
The farther we go the more money is evident Ö signs for beach condos, a golf course, etcÖ This is a very picturesque country.
Day five
Yesterday was filled with activities by the CFCA communities. Many displayed their livelihood projects.
Then they had a program for us ñ scheduled to last three hours but took about five. Even the seminarians prepared songs to share.
Ö.After many dances, speeches and songs, they had the grand finale. A ìmotoî had driven onto the back half of the field with lots of bamboo-type stuff. They proceeded to build a structure ñ dedicated to CFCA. Once everything was over they told the parents to keep their children under control and proceeded to start up fireworks that had been wired into the structure Ö Amazing and beautiful Ö
Take care,

ok so I've been watching the clip on youtube of Johnny "Slim" Campbell playing Person to Person live (not sure how to post the video in here but maybe somebody can help with that...) this guy is actually the reason I got into slide in the first place believe it or not.
Anyways at about 4:33 or so into the video he does this little breakdown and explains different styles of slide - talking about Louisiana piano style, and moving on to Texas banjo style, and then something about Mississipi and "pop, slap and slide".
Anyway the reason I'm making this thread is because I've tried Google searching and so forth but I can't seem to find any resources that help to find one's feet looking to emulate these styles of playing. The pop slap and slide thing is straight forward enough but there's too much going on in the piano and banjo style for me to really nut it out all by my self, so anybody out there able to point me to some good resources on this?
oh PS, the video clip on Youtube is titled "John Campbell - Person to Person" and is 9:33 long, if anybody is wondering what clip I'm talking about.

I know from response to past posts that there's a lot of interest in rooting Barnes & Noble's Nook tablets (specifically the Nook Color, Nook Tablet, Nook HD, and Nook HD+). And why not? The hardware is great, but B&N's heavily modded interface curtails many of Android's best features -- not the least of which is access to Google Play and all the apps, movies, TV shows, and games therein.
Tech-savvy users can "root" a Nook to run Android proper, and the even tech-savvier ones can make a Nook run Android from a microSD card (thus keeping the original B&N software intact). If you don't have those skills, or just don't want to risk bricking your tablet, several companies offer Nook-to-Android solutions.
In fact, I recently profiled two of them in a post called "Root My Nook vs. N2A Cards: Battle of the Nook-to-Android cards." I liked both products quite a bit, but some users balked at the price: $25-30 for a microSD card with the necessary software. N2A Cards offers a download version, but even that costs $19.99.
AndroidForNook offers a Nook-to-Android download option for just $9.99. It's available for all four of the aforementioned Nook models, and you can use it with your own 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB card. (Just make sure you specify the model and card capacity when you order.)
It works like this: you download the proper AFN image for your tablet, then run an executable to load it onto your microSD card. The developer strongly recommends using a SanDisk Class 4 card, which is what I used for testing. To give you some idea as to pricing, Newegg sells a 16GB SanDisk card for $12.99 shipped.
Once the installer copies the image file to your card, you simply pop it into your Nook and reboot. In a minute, presto: you've got Android Jelly Bean. AFN is like N2A Cards in that you get a very bare-bones distribution, which is a little dull, but good if you don't like shovelware. Stock the tablet with only those apps you want.
The only downside I could see, and it's a minor one, is that AFN doesn't yet offer a dual-boot option: if you want to go back to using the Nook OS, you have to power down, pop the card out, and reboot. Root My Nook and N2A Cards both give you the option of loading a boot menu, then choosing the OS you want to load. (Update: The Nook Color and Nook Tablet cards/downloads do offer dual-boot, and the developer notes that the HD and HD+ versions will in the future.)
If you've been wanting to try "the full Android" on your Nook tablet but didn't want to shell out much money for the privilege, AndroidForNook answers the call for a sawbuck. And there's a fairly active user forum where you can learn more and get help if needed.
