YOUNGSTERS at Lickey Babies and Toddlers group really got to feel like spring was well and truly in the air recently, when they had a visit from a brand new baby lamb.

One of the childminders at the group, works on a farm where lambing was taking place, and she brought one of the newly-born lambs in, giving the children the opportunity to get up close to the five-day-old lamb and pet it.

Cathy Thornton, who runs the group, said: “The children were all thrilled by the lamb coming to the group, and the lamb was very good.”

The children also made their own lamb pictures using cotton wool.

Tag Archives: World War II

From sprawling dioramas depicting the invasion of Normandy to full-scale LEGO aircraft carriers and battleships, the Second World War is a frequent subject among LEGO builders fascinated by the conflict’s history, people, and weaponry. Here on The Brothers Brick, you’ll find everything from LEGO M4 Shermans and Tiger tanks lumbering across the landscape to F4U Corsairs, P-51 Mustangs, and Mitsubishi Zeros patrolling the skies.

Good planes come in small packages

I think there are definite advantages to building aircraft models on a larger scale, certainly when it comes to details of the shape. However, It’s always a joy to see what Peter Dornbach (dornbi) can do with LEGO on a smaller scale.

Lockheed P-38J Lightning (2)

Mitsubishi A6M2 "Zero" (2)
Both his P-38J Lightning and his Mitsubishi A6M2 are instantly recognisable and most of the important bits are there. The latter even has folding wingtips.

Volleying doom for doom

During World War II, the Allies fielded approximately 50,000 M4 Sherman medium tanks. But ignoring the hard lessons that the Soviet Red Army learned about German armor on the Eastern Front, the United States and its Western allies delayed production of better-armored tanks with bigger guns until very late in the war. That bigger, better tank — one that could go head to head against German tanks — was the M26 Pershing. However, only 20 Pershings saw combat, between February and May 1945.

M26 Pershing heavy tank (1)

American 3rd Armored Division veteran Belton Cooper argues in his 1998 book Death Traps that this delay in fielding the M26 Pershing in favor of the existing M4 Sherman cost thousands of lives on both sides by delaying the end of the war in Europe for six months. As much as I love the Sherman for its iconic “tankiness,” I was inspired while reading Death Traps to try my hand at a Pershing as well. (I was also running out of Technic chain link for narrower tank treads until my first batch of Brickmania Track Links arrived, so I was forced to use the wide LEGO tread pieces if I wanted to build anything.)

After more than a decade on the web and a dozen LEGO events, one of my failures as a builder is that I tend to build first for static display and photography rather than functionality, and it takes a couple of iterations before I go back and give my models a bit more of an interior life. I’ve tried to improve this over the last year by adding internal details to my vehicles like a removable engine in my Shermans. But I still struggle with tank guns that elevate and depress properly. I’ve now addressed this shortcoming with my latest tanks, including this Pershing, my Soviet KV-1, and a couple of my newer Stuarts. Given differences in turret design, the challenge has been that each tank has required a different solution to achieve an elevating gun, ranging from guns that pivot on Technic pins to ones that go up and down on simple hinge bricks. It probably shouldn’t be this hard…

Strangely perhaps, my favorite detail on my Pershing is the set of stowage boxes on the sides, which are half-stud-offset in two directions to leave half-stud gaps between the boxes and a half-stud lip at the edge of the tank. You can see this best in this comparison shot, which shows just how much lower and wider the Pershing is compared to the older Sherman — a difference that made the Pershing simultaneously harder to hit and more agile on rough terrain.

M26 Pershing vs. M4 Sherman

Finally, here’s a quick little build I tossed together to showcase some of the rarer BrickArms elements that I’d picked up around BrickCon last year — an original American version of the M3A1 Scout Car that I posted last summer in Lend Lease program Soviet livery.

M3A1 Scout Car - US Army - Early War (1)

I managed to pack all of the following custom elements into this tiny little armored car:

  • BrickArms M2HB .50 caliber machine gun (prototype)
  • BrickArms M1917 .30 caliber Browning machine guns (x2 prototypes)
  • Citizen Brick US Army Ranger torsos
  • BrickArms brodie helmets
  • BrickArms M1 Garand rifles (x2 overmolded “Reloaded” version)
  • BrickArms M1917 printed crate
  • Citizen Brick diamond plate tiles

For those of you curious what “overmolded” means, it’s an injection molding process in which a second color of plastic gets injected on top of another, bonding the two together. Will Chapman of BrickArms has been experimenting with the technique for a year or two, with absolutely beautiful results. But don’t expect to see this in large quantities anytime soon — Will hand-injects each batch in his secret laboratory. Josh and I had the privilege of visiting the BrickArms workshop last year, and learned first-hand just how labor-intensive the overmolding process is. Nevertheless, some of the overmolded items are available for sale from BrickArms resellers.

Victory in Stalingrad

71 years ago today — on February 2nd, 1943 — the Red Army defeated German forces who had occupied Stalingrad more than 5 months earlier. Nearly half a million Soviet men and women were killed defending their city from Nazi aggression. The Battle of Stalingrad is arguably the turning point of World War II — a horrendous loss for Hitler and the Third Reich that weakened German forces and led ultimately to Allied victory 2 years later.

Although I haven’t had as much LEGO time over the last six months or so, I’ve managed to keep building. Spurred on by the new Brickmania Track Links, I finally got around to photographing the dozen or so models I’ve pumped out since BrickCon in October. The buildings and minifigs in my diorama of Stalingrad were part of the “Operation Brickarossa” collaboration last year, but my KV-1s tank is new.

Victory in Stalingrad (1)

Compared to smaller and stranger tanks I’ve built, the KV-1 was relatively “easy” and I don’t have a whole lot in the way of build notes. One recent change to my building methods is to try to include more functionality from the start. Admittedly, I failed to do so on the turret hatches, but this is one of my first tanks to include a gun that elevates and depresses properly.

With several hours of photography and editing out of the way, I’ll be posting the rest of my models on Flickr, along with write-ups here. In particular, check back for full reviews of the new Track Links, BrickMania kits, BrickArms items, and more.

New shoes for old tanks

Remember the Brickmania track links kickstarter project? It reached its funding goal and the first models that use these tracks are now appearing online.

B/V-88 "Athena" Trackmania

These fine examples, an M4 Sherman and two different versions of the Stuart light tank, were built by LegoUli. These already were some of the best examples of minifig-scale US WW2 tanks out there and built in old dark grey to boot. This is a difficult colour to use, because all kinds of handy parts builders have become used to, such as cheese slopes, were never made in this particular shade. It is probably the closest match to the colour of the real vehicles, though. The old track shoes were a bit narrow, but thanks to the new track links, this has now been rectified.

T47 Sheridan Walking Tank

I’ve wanted to try my hand at some alternative WWII vehicles for quite a long time. Long enough, in fact, that I originally planned to use sand green, then dark green, then sand green again (as these color became available, or had new parts show up). Of course, when I finally built something, I ended up using olive green.

The idea with this creation is a sort of “what if” scenario. In this case, what if WWII lasted longer, and militaries started fielding diesel driven mecha. Far-fetched, perhaps, but it certainly seemed like fun.

I also tried something new (for me) with this creation, and photographed it only in a scene. I’m hoping this presentation is pleasing to our readership.

T47 Sheridan Walking Tank38

In the bunker with Jerry.

Trench warfare is today’s topic in military history and our guest lecturer is BeLgIuM ww2 bUiLdeR, who has just posted a fine example of the genre entitled Red Tree bunker All the boilerplate is present and accounted for: radio room, racks, command and control center, searchlight and of course many weapons and soldiers. According to the builder, the bunker system is not modeled after any one specific location, but rather a representative sampling of many locations. My favorite detail is the decapitated tank turret re-purposed as an anti-tank gun emplacement.

The P-61 Black Widow is a sinister beauty

If, like me, you’re into LEGO aircraft models, this week is off to a rocking start. Yesterday I had the pleasure of featuring mrutek’s P-51 Mustang; today I am happy to present the P-61 Black Widow by Sydag.

[P-61B-15] The Black Widow : A Study In Black.

The first radars entered operational service prior to the Second World War, but during the war the equipment became sufficiently compact to be fitted to aircraft so that they could find targets at night. However, radars were still fairly bulky and interpreting their signals was a fine art. Some single-engined single-seat fighters were equipped with radars, but most night fighters were bigger twin-engined machines, with a dedicated radar-operator in addition to a pilot. The P-61 Black Widow was the US Army’s purpose-built night fighter, used during the latter part of WW2. It carried a gunner as its third crew-member.

Having built my own version of the P-61, I can really appreciate the shape of Sydag’s model. Our models are similarly sized, but because he has decided to forgo having space for a minifig crew, the fuselage on his model looks far more accurate and elegant. It’s sinister and beautiful at the same time.

This P-51D Mustang is ready to take on the Luftwaffe

I have come to admire mrutek for his models of some of the lesser-known aircraft of the Second World War, such as the A-20 Havoc and the Yakovlev Yak-1, but he has now turned his attention to a rather more famous aircraft: the P-51D Mustang. The P-51D combined a license-produced Merlin engine (famous for its use in the British Spitfire) with an airframe that could carry enough fuel to fly all the way from England to Berlin, escorting bombers. Nonetheless, the aircraft was sufficiently fast and agile to take on the best the Luftwaffe could throw at it. The P-51D was the first Mustang version with a bubble canopy, that offered excellent visibility to its pilot, and is an aviation classic.

The model carries very attractive markings similar to those of the USAAF’s 361st Fighter Group on D-Day, with its yellow nose and invasion stripes. It’s not all perfect, though. For instance, I think the nose is a bit too long and should curve upward more at the bottom (I have purposely chosen a picture where this isn’t obvious). I also think that the distance between the leading edge of the wing and the front of the canopy should be a bit bigger. I know that building WW2 fighters isn’t easy, however, and overall this is an instantaneously recognisable model with some very nifty techniques.

“I know nut-zing!” Awesome LEGO Hogan’s Heroes diorama by Brian Williams

Brian Williams (BMW_Indy) is back making awesome dioramas. This time he’s cooked up this excellent cube of goodness from Hogan’s Heroes, one of my all time favorite TV shows. There’s everything from Carter’s underground chemistry lab to the hidden antenna in the flagpole. You’ll have to inspect the barracks more thoroughly than Schultz, but you might just recognize some great nods to specific episodes. Plus Brian has outfitted the whole thing with lights, so it looks great in photographs. Note the cool textures on the walls using the antistuds on the backs of plates, and the edges of wedge plates for the rough-hewn walls of the tunnel network.

Hogans Heroes - Overview

If you don’t want to click through the photos individually, check out this slideshow Brian made:

Soviet armor forged in the Arsenal of Democracy

Thanks to having run out of LEGO track (I can’t wait for Brickmania Track Links), I’ve been forced to build something with wheels. Between June 1941 and September 1945, the United States delivered 400,000 Jeeps and trucks, 12,000 armored vehicles, 11,400 aircraft, and 1.75 million tons of food to the Soviet Union as part of the Lend-Lease Program. The US often reserved the latest arms and armor for its own armed forces, and older or obsolete designs ended up on ships to the USSR to fight the Third Reich on the Eastern Front.

One such vehicle was the M3 Scout Car, an armored car created by the White Motor Company in the late 1930s. You can clearly see the M3 Scout Car’s heritage in the later M3 Halftrack, which I’ve included here with the Scout Car — both in Soviet livery.

Soviet Armor Forged in the Arsenal of Democracy

Recent posts about my LEGO World War II models didn’t really discuss materials or building techniques. While I wholeheartedly agree with LEGO’s stance not to produce LEGO sets based on recent real-world military conflicts, it does leave a gap for the minifig-scale LEGO military modeler. Several custom accessory vendors fill that gap. Here’s a quick run-down of the custom items I’ve used in my recent models.

  • Weapons and headgear by BrickArms: Will Chapman has been branching out from American and sci-fi weaponry over the last couple of years, with PPSh & DP-28 machine guns, Mosin-Nagant rifles, Tokarev pistols, and even an ushanka hat for those long Russian winters.
  • Flags and trenchcoats by Cape Madness: My Soviet armor wouldn’t be the same without a proper Soviet flag. Naturally, LEGO isn’t going to make one of those… My thanks to Dave Ingraham for generously giving me a large selection from his catalog.
  • Printed accessories from Citizen Brick: Though a bit on the pricey side, Citizen Brick sells a variety of interesting elements you can’t buy from LEGO, including printed BrickArms headgear like the ushanka with the red star and the medic helmets I’ve included in previously posted models.
  • Printed BrickArms crates from Brickmania and G.I. Brick: Quite possibly my favorite recent addition to the BrickArms catalog, the crates are long enough to hold long guns and come in a variety of realistic colors and useful patterns. Frankly, I feel a compulsion to collect them all…

M3 Scout Car (1) M3 Scout Car (2)

The Soviet decals — “CCCP” and so on — are stickers salvaged from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull LEGO sets (a theme rife with exceptions to LEGO’s policy, but full of elements useful to the military builder).

I’ve written before about how much I enjoy research while building LEGO models based on historical people, events, places, and vehicles. Though I haven’t posted anything in a few weeks, I’ve continued improving many of my existing WW2 models based on feedback from other builders and better photos I’ve come across.

Once I’m reasonably happy with a military model, I like to reproduce it so I can make further variations without destroying each one in turn. Here’s my much-improved (I think…) M5 Stuart Light Tank alongside a new M4 Sherman Medium Tank.

Sherman & Stuart tanks of the 761st

I rebuilt the front of the Stuart to reduce how much it projected in front of the treads, lowered the turret by a plate, and gave the turret a proper commander’s hatch. The Sherman has a brand new turret, using 1×3 arches that I first saw built into the turret on the Brickmania Sherman I reviewed earlier this year — another example of how LEGO builders are indebted to each other to improve their designs.

I’m still not sure what I’m going to do with all my World War II armor (LEGO Italy circa 1943 seems overdue for liberation), but I’m certainly enjoying the vehicle builds along the way.

Learning to fly in WW2

The latest diorama by Gary the Procrastinator shows a not unusual day in 1943 at Randolph Field. Back in 1943, the US Military had a need for large numbers of new pilots to fight in World War II. Their standard training aircraft was the Boeing Stearman 75 Kaydet, often known simply as the Stearman. Like many aircraft of its era it was a so-called tail dragger, with an undercarriage that consisted of two main wheels and a tail wheel. Taking off and landing in such an aircraft could be tricky, in particular in crosswinds. In the diorama, one trainee pilot gets it right. The other, however, has veered off the runway, the main wheels have dug into the grass and the aircraft has nosed over.

Stearman PT-17 Kaydet Diorama, Overview

The aircraft models are beautifully built in the colours typical for these trainers and, while the landscaping is a little more straightforward than on Gary’s march to Gettysburg diorama, the tyre marks on the runway and through the grass are a nice touch.

Medical Examiner Perper: Casey the Likely Killer, Jett's Autopsy Flawed

Broward County Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper became a familiar sight on TV after the death of Anna Nicole Smith two years ago, when he was the man overseeing her autopsy.  These days, he's been popping up regularly on Nancy Grace to talk about the death of toddler Caylee Anthony, despite the fact the case is not being handled by his office.

Juice gave Perper a call to discuss his side gig, and during our chat, he dished on Jett Travolta, Nancy Grace, and fear of death. The interview after the jump.

Medical Examiner Perper: Casey the Likely Killer, Jett's Autopsy Flawed

Can you tell us about how you became a commentator on Nancy Grace?
She just asked. I am I am not paid for that, it's voluntary. Occasionally, she asks me to come in the evening to the local CNN station in Plantation.

What do you think of Nancy?
Well, she's an attorney, too. I am an attorney, too, in addition to being a physician. I think she is very intelligent and inquisitive -- reporters have to be. And she usually doesn't stand for nonsense! What I find commendable is that she is basically inviting a whole array of people with a different way of life and from different investigative services to be on the show.

You mean, because she invites psychics to discuss what might have happened to Caylee?
Yes. That makes for more generalized and less biased opinions. I think [Grace] is very concerned about the welfare and well-being of children and she succeeds in making the program very interesting. She really is able to probe [the case] quite extensively and I think her audience is very responsive to that. [Her show] can bring attention to domestic abuse of women and children and the elderly, pointing out how really inappropriate it is to treat other people in such terrible fashion.

Do you think the mom, Casey Anthony, murdered Caylee?
I think I said this already. Look -- it was a much more circumstantial case before they found the skeleton. The tape placed on the child's mouth is an indication of homicide. And the behavior of the mother -- she didn't notify anyone for a month! And she went out dancing! A mother doesn't go out dancing immediately after [her child has gone missing]!  And they found the car in her possession with the smell of decomposition; tests show the decomposition comes from humans. The presence of chloroform in the car, which they detected, the inquest on the internet about chloroform. There's a mountain of evidence, but the tape in my opinion was the centerpiece. It was obviously placed there before the death of the child, not after the child was dead, which is indicative of assault.

Did the medical examiner in Orlando rule that she died because of the tape being put on her mouth?
Perper: He has not said it was from asphyxiation. I would have said that. That medical examiner was more cautious. If there hadn't been tape on the mouth, [Casey Anthony] could have said, 'Oh, it was an accident, she died so suddenly and I was afraid somebody would accuse me so I put the body in the bag and hid the bag' -- but the tape contradicts that.  I don't see how the defense can overcome the evidence.

But you never examined the body, correct?
No. But there was really no body -- just a skeleton. And the skeleton didn't have any injuries.

How come no one ever talks about the biological father? Isn't it still a mystery who Caylee's biological father was?  (Casey Anthony has told friends he was a short-term relationship and that he died in a car crash, but friends have suspected that may be a lie.)
It's irrelevant because they never substantiated that any other person had Caylee in their custody.

Do you have any comment about the death of Jett Travolta?
It's unfortunate that autopsy was not done under different circumstances. The doctor in the Bahamas is quite good but he certainly would have enjoyed the assistance of a more experienced physician. The only other person present was a general practitioner who had been caring for the child, not the kind of person who would be able to offer significant professional input in the process. Secondly, they say the child died of epilepsy, but you cannot make a determination of that at autopsy. A large percentage of epileptics have no pathology in the brain. It should be kept for several weeks. And if he was 16 years old, they should not release immediately the final opinion because unfortunately people can die of drugs. Or even if he doesn't die of drugs, if he had in his blood any anti-epilepsy meds --- epileptics who have no anti-epilepsy drugs or a sub-therapeutic level of drugs can die suddenly and unexpectedly.

So you're saying a determination was made before they would have had time to carry out those kinds of tests?

What about the possibility that he had autism?
Autism is a pshycological/behavioral condition. To my knowledge it doesn't have any proven organic counterpart. And there's no connection between autism and seizures, or epilepsy -- they can occur independently of each other. Besides, autistics don't die suddenly.

You became rather famous because of the Anna Nicole Smith case, right?
It's very unfortunate -- people have to die for us to gain some unusual public attention. I would prefer these people to be alive.  I never sought publicity, but as medical examiner I feel I have an obligation to when called upon to explain to the public these things that I am familiar with.

Are there any local cases that should be getting attention, but aren't?
We in this country suffer from a disease -- it's called celebrities. If you are a celebrity, then everyone gets very interested in why they die, or their relatives or so on. So [the fact that we don't have any] in Broward, that's fortunate -- we want to keep people away from our office.

What do you want to do with your career from here? Any more books coming out?
I just completed a book -- it comes out in July.  It's called When Doctors Kill. It's about all kinds of situations -- accidental death, malpractice... Nazis... Che Guevara.

Is it true that you have a lump on your head because you were dropped as a baby?
Yes, that's true. Although I used to like to say I have so much brains, it pushes out one side.

Are you scared of dying?
No, because life is a fatal disease, a fatal condition. Being afraid doesn't help. In life we have to do our best to add a little bit to the world, to what much better people have done before us.

Well said. And, since Nancy Grace has gotten you curious about psychics, any chance that you will bring some into the medical examiner's office to help you?
No, investigations are done by police and I am very wary of psychics. But I've also learned that I don't know everything, and things I don't believe in sometimes prove true.

Bears Close Out Season with Split Against Central Connecticut

Bears Close Out Season with Split Against Central Connecticut

May 3, 2005

Final Stats

Providence, RI - Brown closed out its first winning season since 2002 with a split against Central Connecticut on Tuesday afternoon. The Bears bounced back from a 5-4 extra innings loss in game one with a 10-8 victory in game two. Brown finishes the season with a 22-19 overall and 14-6 Ivy record, the second best mark among the eight Ivy schools.

Senior Matt Kutler closed out a spectacular career at Brown, breaking virtually every batting record in school history along with the Ivy League's all-time hits record. His .427 batting average currently ranks tenth in the nation. As a team, the Bears boasted the number one offense in the Ivy League, leading the conference in batting average, scoring, homeruns, doubles and slugging percentage. The team's .311 average at the plate ranked 36th in the nation while its 2.23 doubles per game was 40th.

Playing in the final games of their careers, all eight of Brown's seniors saw action in today's games. Senior Chris Jernigan earned his first start of the season behind the plate in the first game while senior right-hander Joel DeMaria, who missed all of last season and most of this season with an injury, earned the start on the mound in game two.

In game one, freshman Peter Moskal got the start on the hill, pitching two scoreless innings. Sophomore Paul Costa tossed two innings while sophomore Ethan Silverstein pitched three innings. Senior Chris Davidson closed things out in the eighth.

Brown scored three runs in the bottom of the second off four hits to take an early 3-0 lead. Junior Danny Hughes ripped a double down the right field line and senior James Lowe drove him in off a sacrifice fly. Jernigan recorded his first hit of the season, a single to right field, on the next play while senior Bobby Wiginton followed up with a two-run double.

Central Connecticut came to within one, 3-2, with a pair of runs in the top of the fourth but the Bears tacked on another run in the fifth. Kutler got his second hit of the game and eventually scored off a single by Hughes.

The Blue Devils tied things up at 4-4 with a two run homer in the top of the sixth by Brent Currier, forcing extra innings. Central Connecticut went on to score the winning run in the top of the eighth after loading up the bases. Freshman Garrett walker notched the game-winning hit for the Blue Devils as Davidson was charged with the loss on the mound, dropping him to 3-3 on the year.

Kutler went 2-4 at the plate with a run scored while Wiginton went 1-4 with a pair of runs batted in. Both Hughes and senior Jeff Nichols finished a perfect 2-2 with a run scored. The Blue Devils jumped on the board early in game two, plating three runs in the top of the first off four hits. Hughes made it a one-run game with a two-run blast to left center in the bottom half of the inning.

Brown added three more runs in the second to take a 5-3 lead. Lowe began the rally with a double to right center while Nichols earned a walk. The duo advanced to second and third with a double steal and Wiginton scored Lowe with a grounder to shortstop. Nichols scored as the result of an error by the Blue Devils shortstop. Kutler then doubled deep to left center to bring in another run for the Bears.

Central Connecticut scored one run off two hits in the third to get to within one, 5-4, but stranded three runners. The Bears then extended their lead to three, 7-4, with a two run shot by sophomore Bryan Tews in the fourth.

The Blue Devils made it a one run game in the fifth with another two run homer but sophomore Devin Thomas gave Brown its biggest lead, 10-6, with a three-run blast in the bottom half of the frame.

CCSU scored one run in the sixth and seventh innings, including the seventh homerun of the game but could get no closer.

Freshman Alex Silverman, who pitched 3.1 innings, picked up the win on the mound, his second of the season. Seven players recorded a hit for Brown with Thomas driving in three runs with his homerun.

Thanks for assisting grandson

-A A +A

To the editor:
On Saturday, Aug. 18, my 11-year-old grandson had a biking accident on Ocean Isle Beach.
People came immediately to help. One man took off his shirt to make a sling, and someone else brought an ice pack.
The people on Wilmington Street were wonderful. I want to thank them all. We did not get any names, but instead rushed to the hospital.
Surgery was required, as his arm was broken. The staff at Brunswick Novant was kind and caring. A special thanks to the doctors that helped.
The people of Brunswick County are amazing.

'The Real Housewives of Miami' Sound Off About The Lingerie Party Fight
'The Real Housewives of Miami' Sound Off About The Lingerie Party Fight
Gina Pusateri
Gina Pusateri
Contributing Writer, BuddyTV
Now that we have analyzed the drama of the lingerie party on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Miami, it's time to hear the ladies' reactions to the fight and seeing it again when it aired this week, according to their Bravo blogs.

Lisa Hochstein

"Although this conversation [when Adrianna confronted Karent] should have been had another time, it should have been between Karent and Adriana. Things were said that clearly touched nerves and escalated this argument quickly. Joanna should not have chased Adriana as she tried to walk away. And Adriana should have used more self-control and not smacked her. There is never an excuse for physical violence. I really did not see who assaulted whom first. It is possible that Joanna grabbed Adriana from behind. Either way, it was wrong and I was unhappy with both of them. Confrontations mixed with alcohol make for a very bad hangover."

Marysol Patton

"The fight was ONE of the most frightening things I have ever seen in my life; everyone was really shaken up. It was a dreadful situation for everyone. I hope I never have to witness anything like that again. But there is a light at the end of this long, dark tunnel and that is that Lisa raised money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, a cause that is very close to my heart."

Ana Quincoces

"I am totally at a loss for words. How does one allow a situation to escalate to the point of no return? Can a newspaper article be offensive enough to warrant such a dramatic response from two seemingly rational, intelligent women? Or was it just the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back? And if so, can we really identify who is carrying around all that straw?"

Lea Black

"[The lingerie party] exceeded any craziness even I could have imagined at a South Beach party, and I've been to a lot of Miami parties throughout the years ... Make it a goal in life to be invited to a near-nude Miami party at a mansion hosted by a boob god and his greatest creation."

Adriana de Moura

"Being physically attacked by Joanna was one of the most traumatic moments of my life. I had no choice but to act instinctively in self-defense, since I was under physical attack. Joanna had decided earlier that night that she was going to fight with somebody and she clearly stated that to her sister: 'I'm going to kick someone's ass tonight.' She was angry and wanted to take it out on somebody, and I was the victim of choice for that night! I was alone and she felt she could bully me, the same way she bullies her own sister.

"The whole altercation was very taxing on me emotionally, and I cried a lot when I got home. Never before in my life had I gotten physical with anyone. I had deep scratches in my arms and bruises that lasted for weeks -- that has healed, but the thought of that fight still brings me to a very painful place every time I have to speak about it."

Joanna Krupa

Joanna didn't have anything to say on her blog, but you can see her reaction here during her visit with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live:

Demi Lovato Leaving 'The X Factor' After 2 Seasons
Demi Lovato Leaving 'The X Factor' After 2 Seasons
John Kubicek
John Kubicek
Senior Writer, BuddyTV
Let the annual changing of the guard at The X Factor begin! According to People, sources close to Demi Lovato say that the young pop star is leaving her post as a judge and mentor on The X Factor after this season.

The source says that "She plans to spend next year completely focused on her music." This makes Demi the fifth judge to leave the show in just three years.

This news also assumes that The X Factor will be renewed for a fourth season, though FOX hasn't made it official yet. Season 3 has seen a steep decline in the ratings, though recent weeks have picked up and saw the show become relevant with several big hits on the iTunes charts, mostly from Alex and Sierra.

Simon Cowell recently said that The X Factor will definitely be back for season 4, though he was vague on what his role would be and even implied that there will be some dramatic changes to the format. It's possible the show will cut back to a single episode each week, like Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance.

Demi Lovato is one of many people to leave The X Factor during its short time in the U.S. In season 1, judge Cheryl Cole was fired during the auditions and judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul also left after the first year. So did host Steve Jones.

Britney Spears joined the show in season 2 and only served as judge for a single season. Original judge L.A. Reid also left after season 2, as did Mario Lopez's co-host, Khloe Kardashian.

Now Demi is leaving, and it's likely that she won't be the only one. Paulina Rubio, with her broken English and notoriously misidentifying one of her own acts, seems like a longshot to return as a judge.

The X Factor season 3 finale begins Wednesday at 8pm as the final 3 perform, with the winner being announced Thursday night.

Sam and Dean try to find a way to protect Anna while avoiding both Angels and Demons; Dean reveals to Sam his experience in Hell.

Supernatural: Episode 4.10 "Heaven and Hell" Recap (Page 1/4)

Last week‘s episode of Supernatural left us with a "to be continued" that forced me to throw things at my TV.   "I  Know What You Did Last Summer" came to an end with Castiel and Uriel arriving to kill Anna, who can overhear their conversations and possibly intercept the text messages they swap on their heavenly BlackBerries.  Before that shocking conclusion, we learned that Sam and Ruby got down and dirty while Dean was in Hell, and we also met a frightening new demon named Alastair.  Dean recognized the beast from his stint down under, but the nature of their relationship was left unclear.

Buffett’s New Christmas Album

Jimmy Buffett’s new Christmas album “‘Tis the SeaSon” will be released on October 28, 2016. It is now available For Pre-Sale at Mailboat Records. On the Bing and Bong show Jimmy said the name of the album is “‘Tis the SeaSUN”. No information is currently available on the song list for the album.

In 1996 Buffett released the album “Christmas Island” and it included some original songs including “Ho Ho Ho And A Bottle Of Rhum”, “A Sailor’s Christmas”, and “Merry Christmas, Alabama”.

The album cover has Buffett on his surfboard paddling his two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

Margaritaville included in Grammy Hall of Fame

From the TimesDaily: “Margaritaville included in Grammy Hall of Fame 2016

Part of the reason Jimmy Buffett’s iconic hit “Margaritaville” has stood the test of time is that it’s a song everyone can relate to, Shoals bassist, producer and former recording studio owner Norbert Putnam said.

Putnam should know. He produced the track in 1977 with Buffett and his Coral Reefer Band.

The song has been included in the Recording Academy’s Grammy Hall of Fame Class of 2016, along with another track with local connections — Dan Penn and Chips Moman’s “Dark End of the Street,” which was recorded by soul artist James Carr in 1967.

“Margaritaville” is also connected with a restaurant chain, a chain of hotels, and a variety of other products such as “frozen concoction makers,” commonly known as blenders.

“It has every element for a good story,” Putnam said.

The singer refers to sitting on his front porch swing, strumming his six string. He’s noticing tourists covered in suntan oil, smelling shrimp beginning to boil, and cuts his foot on a pop top.

And like all good stories, Putnam said, the song has that element of drama or conflict.

“Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame, but I know, it’s nobody’s fault,” the chorus goes. Later in the song, however, the chorus changes and he laments, “… it’s my own … fault.”

Mac McAnally, who splits his time between homes in Nashville and Sheffield, didn’t play in the original cut, but has performed the song hundreds of times since joining the Coral Reefer Band in 1998.

What makes it special, he said, is how much of Buffett’s persona is transferred during the playing or listening process.

“It represents a lifestyle which is broader than simply being inebriated on a beach, although it frequently includes being inebriated on a beach,” McAnally said. “Jimmy conveyed a relaxed approach to living which starts and ends with a smile. I think most people then and now benefit from a little more smiling and relaxing. I’m proud for my friend and road boss receiving this honor.”

Alan Schulman, who has been engineering and mixing Buffett recordings since 1997, agreed with McAnally’s assessment.

“It has a lot to do with a lifestyle,” Schulman said. “It projects the sun, the ocean flip-flops. He kind of lives like that. He’s a fun man to be around. I think what it does is it gives people a chance to have a different lifestyle from their normal jobs a couple times a year, to go to a Jimmy concert and feel like they’re on the beach.”

Schulman said he was just booked to engineer a new Buffett Christmas album.

IKEA fabric!!!!! 5/2011(#108A)

Added Jun 6, 2011

by Aida Petre

Bucharest, Romania

When I first saw this fabric in IKEA I knew it was perfect for this dress.
But I was so excited when I made this dress that I didn’t even noticed that I’ve made it upside down :)))))
My boyfriend notticed after it was finished…
But it turned quite well.
And because the fabric was a little see-through I fully lined it.

    Hi there, I love the dress. Congratulations! Let’s hope not a lot of people go to IKEA now and buy the same fabric :-)) I would iron it with starch spray (apret?) to make it even more glamorous. There is a question for you. I alreday cut the patterns to make this dress from a much thicker fabric I bought in Romania last summer. The colours are very similar to the colour sin the magazine picture. I hesitated cutting it though, because the pattern looks really small, minuscule. I know is “petite”, but I thought you still follow your size. Did you have any problems with the sizing? Did you follow your normal size? I am a Romanian “Ma dame” size 36, any idea what size I should follow for this dress?

      Hy, thank you, thank you :D
      Well, I has so excited to share it with you all that I didn’t even iron it.
      As for your question: I’m a burda size 42, so I took the size 21 for this dress and I compared the measurements with the ones for the size 42 and I saw that the bust was 2 cm higher in size 21 than in size 42 so I lengthened the pattern at the shoulders with 2 cm. I hope you understand what I did :D I sugest you compare your measurements with the measurements for the petite sizes :D

Urban nomad paper dress.

Added Oct 24, 2010

by Rikki Cade B...

Bedford, United ...

for my first project in my ND1 (national diploma year 1) in fashion and textiles, i was given the breath of making a paper garment around the breath of the urban nomad.

to put this simply this is fashions take on the nomad (a traveler) for example think of a gypsy or an native American indian.
this style is layered with bold contrasting prints with lots of wool and leather creating a contrast of texture.
this look is currently dominating the fashions seen.

the breath stated that the garment that i was to create was based around an aria that was meaningful to me for this i chose a village in cornwall england, had a lot of drawing and printing and be constructed from paper.

one more thing, it had to be wearable incase it is selected for the collage fashion show in January.
luckily all of my heard work paid off as i got a distinction (the highest grade that you can get in my corse equivalent to an A)

Material Notes

aria map.
double sided tape- construction.
paper mashie.- support skirt
masking-tape- construction, bodice.
wool.- straps.

Uses: This type of pocket is usually hidden in a side seam or a dart. It is my favorite type of pocket and can be seen on many of my dresses. The draw pocket is usually sewn between the front and back pieces of a garment, but in the Colette Macaron pattern you can see how it is folded into a dart.

Silent Hill (2006)
Movie Review by The Gravedigger

Silent Hill (2006) I can't compare this to the video game it is based on, as I've never seen or played it, but as a stand-alone horror movie it does work. The premise is that an adoptive mother (Radha Mitchell of PITCH BLACK) wants to find out why her nine-year-old daughter is having nightmares about a place called Silent Hill, so she decides to take her there against the wishes of her husband (Sean Bean of THE DARK). Once they get there they seem to be in a sort of other dimension, where there is perpetual fog and these disturbing looking creatures. Not only does she have to find her daughter, who has disappeared, but also what her secret is-and also how to escape from this place.

As with FINAL DESTINATION 3, the use of computer effects to create gore is kind of amazing. Not only are people dismembered, there's a scene in which a monster pulls the skin off of a struggling woman as if it's peeling a banana. The goriest scene perhaps, is the barbed wire scene towards the end of the picture. Compared to the recent abysmal adaptations of DOOM and AFRAID OF THE DARK, SILENT HILL is a pleasant surprise.

Planting and Growing Potatoes
Potatoes are fun and easy to grow in the garden and even in containers. Their creamy nut-like flavor is heavenly.

Introduction to Raised Bed Gardening
If you’ve ever wanted to know just what raised bed gardening is then this is the place to start.
Watch video

How to Plant

  • Plant sweet potatoes as soon as you receive the bare roots, or “slips”, in spring, after all danger of frost has passed.
  • Do not be concerned if the plants look limp and the green tops do not look robust. If the roots are white and firm the plants are healthy and ready for planting. You can put them in a glass of water to help the roots absorb water and the greens should perk up.
  • Choose a sunny location with a loose, easily worked, well-drained soil. Sweet potatoes prefer a soil pH of 5.5 to 6.5. The ideal time to plant is late in the afternoon after the hottest part of the day, on a day that is not windy.
  • Plant sweet potatoes in ridges 8-12 inches high and 3 feet apart. Set the plants 10-18 inches apart.
  • When setting the plants in the ground do not cover the stem. Cover the roots and firm the soil. Water lightly.
  • If there is danger of frost cover the rows with row covers.
  • In areas with shorter seasons use black plastic mulches to warm the soil earlier in the season. If you use this method you may need to water more during periods of high heat during the growing season.

How to Grow

  • Cultivate around the plants to prevent weeds, and to prevent side roots from developing. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients. Cultivate carefully so as not to bruise or cut the young tubers forming just below the soil. Once plants get started their growth will tend to smother out many weeds and grasses.
  • Provide sweet potato plants with about ¾ inches of water weekly when they are young, and water them more as the plants mature. Do not water during the 2 weeks before harvest.
  • Many gardeners prefer not to fertilize because they feel not fertilizing improves the flavor, while others feel that fertilizing increases yields. If you choose to fertilize, side dress with a balanced fertilizer about six weeks after planting. Do not use excessive nitrogen.
  • Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area.

Harvesting and Preserving Tips

  • Harvest small roots, or “baby bakers” anytime as desired, or harvest full-sized roots in the fall. Simply examine an average hill and dig the potatoes when they approach the desired size. Dig any remaining roots before frost.
  • When digging sweet potatoes be careful not to bruise them. Use a shovel or large pronged fork. With a loose row, pull the soil away with your hands.
  • After digging up your sweet potatoes, cure them in a warm, well ventilated location out of the sun for 8-10 days. This will help heal cuts and bruises and toughen the skin for winter storage.
  • Store sweet potatoes at 55°F at high humidity. Sweet potatoes can store for several months after being properly cured.
  • Eat sweet potatoes baked, mashed, candied, caramelized, deep-fried, stuffed or boiled.

Sweet Potato, Murasaki PP19955 is rated 4.0 out of 5 by 3.
Rated 2 out of 5 by from Taste good , but . . . I bought 12 vines of Sweet Potato Murasaki .I planted all of them on the day they were delivered .Only 6 of them sprouted .The Vines were all wilted when they arrived. But (to be fair to this seller) that is not supposed to be a problem .In Japan also the vines of Japanese sweet potato are sold in that way , almost wilted ,in order to grow the roots faster .The problem was: some vines were just too immature , too thin and short as a starter . Like a hair and only 5 or 6 inches long . They need to be one foot in length at least . Potatoes are produced on the joint of leaf and vine . They should be planted with the main vine underground and the leaves to be left above ground . I did not have such a choice because the plants were such poor quality . So I had to plant the entire thin hair-like vines underground and therefore half of them just disappeared . I harvested some potatoes and the average size was OK , but because the vines were too short , I only got 2 or 3 potatoes per vine . The starter-vines did not have many leaf-joints . Once lots of vines had grown , I cut some and replanted them , but this second batch of potatoes are still very small ,and it is almost October . I recommend this potato , because the taste is good , they don't need much care and you can grow them in a same place every year . Leave the potatoes unwashed 2 or 3 weeks before eating them . They will be sweeter .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Colorful variety has distinct, nutty flavor. I am always looking to add color to my culinary creations and this purple sweet potato is a great way to do it. The distinctly nutty flavor is a rich high note. This is one vegetable that will probably get a smile out of the kids.

Does the word "track record" means nothing for credibility nowadays? Keep listen to guys like Gordon Chang or Michael Pettis, and you will continue to be clueless about China. And yes, I am Chinese. Best regards m RalphJr Tue, 01 Jan 2013 13:50:07 -0500 The workers have been getting 10% raises each year for around 20+ years so they are happy. Dude Mon, 31 Dec 2012 21:03:39 -0500 Agree to a certain extent. The only reason many lives have been better because of the investments from USA and other countries into China. In the 1950s to 1980s, people were starving like they were in certain parts of Africa. As Deng Xipeng used western idealology to move China into a less Communist country, China began to improve. What most of you do not understand is that the government in China is trying to keep on investing while they take parts of the money and launder the dirty money into countries like the USA, Canada, Singapore, Swiss, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, etc. James D. Smith Mon, 31 Dec 2012 12:55:03 -0500 I've listened to the doomsayers predict China's downfall for decades. Hasn't happen has it? The capitalist system is absolutely dependant on wastful spending. The model couldn't exist without it. They build empty bricks and mortar projects. We build armaments that sit in the desert. It bothers people to admit to this truth but that's the way it is. When you can print your own money you have a lot of flexibility with waste. Fire up a J Mon, 31 Dec 2012 07:24:45 -0500 I've been reading Prof. Pettis for over 2 years, and you seem to be a newcomer to his academic blogging, and may have read his writing above for the first time. Thanks for joining the conversation, Mr. Wrong! :-) Your statement that "Chinese central bankers have got it right till now" is patently absurd. That's like saying, "they've lit the fuse and there's plenty of time to stomp on it before it gets to the bomb." Furthermore, Professor Pettis IS helping out the US by pointing out the many dangers of investing there, so he is DIRECTLY helping the US through his intensive research and on the ground conversations, as well as having many student groups independently producing reports with his guidance. Notice how FDI has fallen off a cliff - NO ONE trusts the Chinese anymore!!! Here's a link worth exploring:  J Wrong since 2002 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 00:17:33 -0500 Ah! Michael Pettis is back with his incessant sniping at China (while living there). This man has been talking down China since forever. I wonder what his real agenda is. I am sure he will be right some day. What most of us cannot fathom is the enormous population in China. You talk about overinvestment? If you want to see what would have happened without all this "overinvestment", then take a trip to India, another nation with billion plus people that is a land of misery because of the kind of incremental investment that it does. Chinese central bankers have got it right till now. At worst, they are on par with two-bit academics like Pettis who should have helped out his home country, the US. Nexus789 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 23:05:43 -0500 Switching from an export led growth economy to one that is based on internal consumption will be a big challenge. It call could collapse before then even get anywhere near that. Nexus789 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 23:03:40 -0500 It is all based on export led growth. That is okay while the suckers overseas continue to buy 'stuff' ' but it can quickly become a bit a train wreck once that goes into reverse. The other thing is that in China is that there is no 'safety net' so once factories start to close there would be millions without any means of support. Jerry Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:37:51 -0500 tom, thanks for the info, at least i get the moral of the story now....but i still don't think i agree. there's a lot of additional facts that would be needed to be know to be sure, but.... my perception of it is this, foreign companies can't own more 49% in china companies, so they clearly will not have to submit to control by foreigner ownership. they use foreign capital build these great modern factories and infrastructure, they have put a lot of people into employment at these factories, giving them an income where they may have had none before. they are building out modern national infrastructure by making idle workers productive and give income to workers. as mentioned in the article, some losses may be hidden, but they feel it's their business and we probably don't need to know the real story, sovereign prerogative i guess. well, with a billion+ people to consume and modern infrastructure to facilitate use of all their modern factories, my assumption is they have bigger plans in the works than just continuing to produce for others cheaply. They will continue for a while as long as it suits their purpose. but lets face it, they seem to be on a mission in preparing for their future of self reliance and internal sustenance, at the fastest pace they can to get there regardless of short term burps. rgds dses Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:49:29 -0500 No matter how much China "over-invest", it is still way better than wasting trillion of tax payer's money on useless wars. Tom Fiore Fri, 28 Dec 2012 13:32:53 -0500 The moral to the story is that they are spending on projects that they don't need, will never need and that will hurt their economy going forward. How many of the high speed train lines that they have built will pay for themselves in any way? They have empty cities, as well as empty high rise apartment buildings in the populated cities. They have plants that they won't open because if they did it would cause a crash in the price for the products produced. They have built a solar industry that produces several times market demand; those of you whining about Solindra should understand that China has pumped more than a dozen Solindras into that industry. All of this over-investment has come at the expense of the individual citizens of China and the private economy. The thing is that the bill hasn't even come due yet; we have yet to see the crash to this massive bubble. Never mind, just assume that some other government, one that is massively corrupt, knows how to run things while you are denigrating your own. Jerry Fri, 28 Dec 2012 12:11:25 -0500 Yeah, i didn't get the moral of the story. is it saying that things are too good in china? That they need to inflict austerity on their economy just because other nations might wise up to the fact that when you print money and use it for public purpose, instead of egregiously subsidizing the 1%, the people might enjoy some prosperity? Bradford Fri, 28 Dec 2012 11:47:11 -0500 The picture is changing somewhat but Pettis is anchoring to his hypothesis. In the news today, the Chinese gov't said they would run a deficit 50% higher than last year. Ed Rector Fri, 28 Dec 2012 10:47:50 -0500 China's "unsustainable" growth and "overinvestment" has been going on for about 30 years now. Has there ever been a country that has had anything close to 8% - 12% annual economic growth rates for 3 decades?? Hundreds of millions of Chinese have been lifted out of poverty into the middle class as a result of this remarkable record of rising affluence. Maybe the central planners in China know better how to manage an economy than does Michael Pettis.

Unfortunately most are driven by hindsight ... which is always 20/20. Foresight is a little trickier.

A year after bailout, Greece struggles for brighter future

Wednesday, July 13, 2016 - 11:54

A year after it fought and lost a tug-of-war with its creditors, Greece remains a country that seems adrift, and many of its citizens view the present as joyless and the future as grim.

[ATHENS] A year after it fought and lost a tug-of-war with its creditors, Greece remains a country that seems adrift, and many of its citizens view the present as joyless and the future as grim.

Summer 2015 saw Greece's youthful left-wing prime minister Alexis Tsipras wage an extraordinary battle between the mighty European Union, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Over five months, Tsipras and his firebrand finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, took Greece and Europe to the brink as they demanded the creditors ease reforms imposed under two previous bailouts agreed since 2010.

As the EU, ECB and IMF took a hard line, Greece's financial flows shrank and a bank crisis loomed - but Mr Tsipras, instead of buckling, stunned the world by announcing a referendum on the new deal proposed by creditors.

On July 5, 62 per cent of voters rejected the package.

But even with the mandate of the Greek people behind him, Mr Tsipras backed down: the risk of seeing Greece thrown out of the eurozone was too much.

Instead, in a dramatic U-turn, he let go of Mr Varoufakis, replaced him with the more moderate Euclid Tsakalotos - and just over a week later, signed the third bailout.

The deal was worth 86 billion euros (S$128.26 billion) over three years and laden with conditions, such as tax hikes and pension reforms, considered by critics to be so tough that social media buzzed with talk of a coup d'etat.

Since then, Greece has soldiered on, weathering popular unrest and the consequences of the 2015 migration crisis, while Mr Tsipras strives to defend his leftwing credentials.

The EU has already paid out almost 30 billion euros and talks have begun on easing Greece's debt, which amounts to 182 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP).

"Greece has reached an important milestone," European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker said last month.

Klaus Regling, who heads the EU's rescue fund, the European Stability Mechanism, is less jaunty, complaining that it took nine months instead of the expected three to complete the first review of the bailout.

Others critics say the poker game dealt a hefty blow to confidence, especially in the banking system.

Mr Tsipras says he remains true to his principles and has responded to the many defections and criticisms from his party, Syriza, sparked by his U-turn.

Last month, he described voters' rejection of the austerity measures as "a sublime act against the euro bigwigs promoting austerity but also against the establishment which wanted to stifle the country."

For political scientist Georges Sefertzis, "this way of seeming to negotiate very hard while allowing things to drag on could be his biggest mistake yet." According to the European Commission, Greece's economy is this year set to shrink by 0.3 per cent, continuing a slide uninterrupted since 2009 except for 2014.

"The government is applying solutions dictated by its ideology," lamented lawmaker Theodore Fortsakis, of the opposition New Democracy (ND) party.

Mr Fortsakis takes Mr Tsipras to task for favouring tax hikes over budget cuts to meet the bailout plan's targets for primary budget surpluses (before debt service).

These targets are 0.5 per cent of GDP this year, 1.75 per cent in 2017 and 3.5 per cent in 2018.

Mr Fortsakis said he felt "deep frustration towards our European friends who agreed to this phony recovery plan," saying this was perhaps due to their being keen to get rid of the Greek problem before their own elections or, in Britain's case, the Brexit referendum.

There are some, including the IMF and Bank of Greece governor Yannis Stournaras, who reckon the 3.5 per cent target in 2018 is unrealistic.

The government has undertaken to cut the pensions and benefits of civil servants if it fails to reach the targets and to proceed with a controversial round of privatisations.

These are dangerous moves, says Mr Sefertzias, which could prompt snap elections as the government would quite like pass the buck to the ND, which currently enjoys a lead of 11.5 points over Syriza in opinion polls.

"Today, the country is starting to get angry with Tsipras," he said.

"But it is not very keen on his opponents. It's in a massive depression but not ready to revolt since it has no faith in revolution."
