The Dutch Armed Forces Nationaal Militair Museum
The Dutch Armed Forces National Museum, known locally as the Nationaal Militair Museum is located at the former Soesterberg airbase, approximately 50km southeast of Amsterdam. It combines the collections from the former Military Aviation Museum located at the same site with the Army Museum in Delft and the result has to be one of the best national military collections that I have visited.
The exhibits of the museum are organized thematically and although the museum represents all four services, the emphasis is on the land and air forces. The top floor tells the story of the armed forces through a combination of physical objects and interactive displays, which are broken down into sections leading the visitor through the story of the armed forces, the soldiers, conflicts, the relationship with civil society and the future.

It was originally an ordinary military Mercedes soft top, but has been adapted to the demands of the commandos. In order to be able to carry out extended patrols, the loading capacity was increased from 750 Kilo (7,5kN) to 1,100 Kilo (11kN). The vehicle is armed with a .50 machine gun on the ring gun, whilst the commander / co-driver operates a MAG machine gun. In addition the vehicles sometimes carried a 60mm mortar plus AT4 or LAW anti-tank weapons and radio systems that permitted communications between the crew, other vehicles and additional assets.

The lower level, known as the Arsenaal, concentrates on weapons and the equipment used, from uniforms and field gear through to tanks, artillery and aircraft. The mix between objects and interaction is just right and there are lots… and I mean lots, of things to keep kids or, otherwise bored, spouses entertained. In the middle of the Arsenaal is Xplore which is filled with games activities including an F16 flight simulator, sniping and driving a tank.
Displays in the Arsenaal section of the museum cover 3000 years of weapons and equipment. Here, part of the medieval display. Photo: Julian Tennant

I visited the Nationaal Militair Museum towards the end of a month-long trip dragging the missus through the battlefields of Normandy, the Western Front and Arnhem. I figured that if I was lucky, I'd have a few hours to explore the museum by myself, but when she saw some of the displays decided to hang around and we ended up spending the best part of the day exploring the exhibits. Unfortunately, I did not take as many photos as I should have and snapped most on my old cell-phone, so the images really do not do the museum justice. This museum should definitely be on your itinerary if you are visiting the Netherlands and is easy to reach if you have a car, but is also quite accessible by public transport from Amsterdam and worth a day trip to fully experience what it offers.

A British Paratrooper taking aim with an American M1 carbine from the first floor balcony of the Hartenstein Hotel in Oosterbeek, near Arnhem in The Netherlands. September 1944. The photograph was taken by Sergeant D M Smith, Army Film & Photographic Unit on Saturday the 23rd of September 1944. Sergeant Dennis Smith, the photographer, wrote: "We have had a very heavy shelling this morning, September 23rd and now the situation is serious. the shelling is hellish. We have been holding out for a week now. The men are tired, weary and food is becoming scarce, and to make matters worse, we are having heavy rain. If we are not relieved soon, then the men will just drop from sheer exhaustion". The British 1st Airborne Division headquarters had been established in the Hotel during 'Operation Market Garden' and it is now the Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein'.

This gun was part of X-Troop of the 2nd Airlanding Anti-Tank Battery, arriving by glider on September 18 at Landing Zone X between Wolfheze and Renkum. It took up several positions in the area north of the railway to support the advance of the 156th and 10th Battalions The Parachute Regiment along the Northern route into Arnhem, before being withdrawn to Oosterbeek. The crew managed to defend their position until the night of the withdrawal on September 25th/26th, 1944. They then buried the breech block, remaining ammunition and drained oil from the recoil cylinder. All the crew except for one wounded gunner managed to reach safety on the opposite bank of the river Rhine. Photo: Julian Tennant

For visitors exploring the battlefields related to Operation Market Garden, the Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein' in Oosterbeek serves as a rallying point and provides a focus for much of the activity surrounding the annual anniversary commemorations of the battle for Arnhem. The museum is housed in what was formally the Hotel Hartenstein, which served as the Headquarters for Major General Roy Urquhart, commander of the 1st Airborne Division during this famous battle in September 1944.

Operation Market Garden was launched in an attempt to capture a number of bridgeheads that would allow the Allies to bypass the Siegfried line and cross the Rhine, entering the German industrial base of the Ruhr pocket. Allied Airborne troops were dropped in the Netherlands to secure key towns and bridges along the axis of advance. The British 1st Airborne Division was tasked with seizing the most distant bridges at Arnhem and hold them for two to three days whilst awaiting the arrival of the British XXX Corps who were advancing up the corridor created by the Airborne operation.
Although Initially taken surprise by the landing of the 1st Airborne Division at Wolfheze and north of Heelsum the German forces quickly moved to regain the initiative. Allied intelligence had not accounted for the presence of the 9th SS Panzer Division in the area around Arnhem. This combined with poor communications and the distance of the landing zones from their objectives undermined British attempts to seize the bridges. Only the 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment under the command of Lt-Col John Frost managed to reach the northern side of Arnhem bridge, which they held for four days.
The bulk of the British forces became trapped in Oosterbeek, fighting a brutal defensive action until the 25th of September when their situation became untenable and a retreat, code-named Operation Berlin began in an attempt to evacuate the remaining airborne troops to the South side of the Rhine. British engineers assisted in evacuating 2200 men across the river but on the morning of the 26th September, the operation was halted leaving 300 troops behind. In the nine days of Market Garden, combined Allied losses amounted to more than 17.000. The British 1st Airborne Division was almost completely destroyed and of the 10,000 men committed to the operation, casualties numbered 7,578 dead, wounded or missing.
Hartenstein, which was built as a villa in 1865 before becoming a hotel in 1942 was commandeered as the 1st Airborne Division's headquarters during Operation Market Garden and badly damaged during the fighting. It was subsequently restored and once again used as a hotel before being purchased as the site for the Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein' which was officially opened by Major General Roy Urquhart in 1978.
In 2008 it was temporarily closed for an extensive renovation and expansion program which included a basement displaying the 'Airborne Experience', a series of dioramas which takes the visitor through the battle from the perspective of a British soldier. After being briefed on the mission you enter an Airspeed AS.51 Horsa Glider replica being battered by flak before exiting into the dimly lit streets of Arnhem as the battle rages around you. You then wander through a juxtaposition of life-size dioramas combined with period visual footage and an audio soundscape, approaching Arnhem bridge before retreating back to the perimeter around the Hotel Hartenstein and finally the Rhine River.

In addition to the 'Airborne Experience', the museum also features dioramas representing how the Hotel Hartenstein was used during the operation. One shows the medical post that was situated in the basement and the other shows the headquarters of Roy Urquhart. It also features several other exhibits and displays reflecting the experience of the battle from Dutch and German perspectives as well as a large collection of medals that have been donated to the museum by deceased veterans. The current displays reflect the current trend in exhibition design and many of the items that I saw at the museum during my first visit in 1991 are unfortunately no longer on display. This includes some of the uniforms and insignia that I was particularly interested in examining once again. In this respect, the Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein' is quite different to the Arnhem Oorlogsmuseum 40-45, which maintains an old-style approach to exhibit presentation and should also definitely be on your itinerary. In addition to the permanent collection, the museum also exhibits temporary displays related to the conflict and the grounds surrounding the building feature artillery pieces, a Sherman tank and memorials commemorating the battle.

The Airborne Museum also has an annex, Airborne at the Bridge, on the banks of the Rhine, opposite the John Frost Bridge. This annex tells the story of the battle fought by John Frost's 2nd Parachute Battalion at the bridge from three perspectives, British Lieutenant John Grayburn, German Hauptsturmführer Viktor Eberhard Gräbner and Dutch Captain Jacob Groenewoud. Unlike the Airborne Museum Hartenstein, entry to Airborne at the Bridge is free and if you don't have a MuseumKaart (see below), you can buy a discounted ticket to the Airborne Museum Hartenstein when visiting.

About the MuseumKaart option
The MuseumKaart is a Dutch annual pass scheme which gives the holder unlimited free entry into over 400 museums in the Netherlands. It costs €54.95 (excluding €4.95 administration fee) for adults and €32.45 for teenagers up to 18 years of age.
Previously buying a MuseumKaart was a great deal as it included a number of military-interest museums around the Netherlands, including the Airborne Museum, National Military Museum at Soesterberg, Oorlogsmuseum Overloon, Verzetsmuseum (Dutch Resistance Museum), Rijksmuseum, Scheepvaartmuseum (Maritime Museum), National Holocaust Museum and Anne Frank House in Amsterdam to name a handful. If you were travelling around the Netherlands and dropping into the museums it was a 'must have' but unfortunately since 2018 the full unlimited year-long entry is now limited to Dutch residents and (for the same price) tourists receive a card that expires after only 5 museum visits or 31 days. However it can still be a worthwhile savings option depending on your plans.
The MuseumKaart website is in Dutch language only and online purchase is only to Dutch residents. However, you can buy the temporary (tijdelijk) MuseumKaart over-the-counter at some of the museums, including at the Airborne Museum Hartenstein.
Major & Mrs Holt's Battlefield Guide to Operation Market-Garden. (Third Edition) Published 2013
Major & Mrs. Holt's Battle Map of Market-Garden
If you are looking for a great guide to refer to when visiting Arnhem and the battlefields associated with Operation Market Garden, I recommend you get a copy of Major & Mrs Holt's Battlefield Guide to Operation Market- Garden. Third Edition (published 2013) which is available as a hard copy book or e-book (Kindle or ePub) and also their map, Major & Mrs. Holt's Battle Map of Market-Garden. I found these to be extremely useful, providing pieces of information about aspects of the battle that I was unaware of, allowing me to plan and make the most of my time spent in the area. Highly recommended.
A scene from the classic 1977 war movie about the battle, 'A Bridge Too Far'. This image is often incorrectly described as an actual war photograph. The photo depicts a British officer (in real life, Major Allison Digby Tatham-Warter DSO, officer commanding A Company of 2 Para) waving his umbrella a Germans on the bridge. Whilst the picture is a still photograph from the movie and not actually of the battle, I think it sums up the character of the British troops at Arnhem. As an aside 'Digby' as he was know, also disabled a German armoured car during the operation by poking his umbrella through an observational slit, blinding the driver.

Like the Glider Collection Wolfheze, the Arnhem Oorlogsmuseum (sometimes referred to in English language search engines as the Arnhem War Museum) is another private museum in the Arnhem area.
Owner Eef Peeters started collecting militaria as a boy, storing his collection at first in his home, followed by a shed and then finally, in 1994, moving the collection to its current location, an old school, in Schaarsbergen. The collection does not focus specifically on Operation Market Garden but paints a much broader picture of what happened in Arnhem and the surrounding areas during the war years. This includes a number of objects relating to less popular subjects including collaboration and the Dutch Nazi Party, the Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging in Nederland (NSB).

Two Dutch SS cufftitles. The "Frw. Legion Nederland" title was worn by members of the "Freiwillige Legion Niederlande". The "Landstorm Nederland" was originally a a home guard unit, which the SS took over in 1943 and became the SS-"Freiwilligen-Brigade Landstorm Nederland" before evolving into the "34. SS-Freiwilligen-Grenadier-Division Landstorm Nederland" in February 1945. I am not sure of the significance of the newspaper beneath the cuff titles. Photo: Julian Tennant
This is an old-style museum concentrating on artifacts, rather than interactive displays. It's a fascinating and at times eclectic collection of items squeezed into the available space. A lot of the memorabilia is not captioned in English, so I had to rely on my rusty Afrikaans/Dutch skills to interpret some of the captions, but the staff were helpful and friendly. When one of the volunteer staff members found out that I was a collector, after I asked if there were any antique or shops around which may have militaria for sale, he invited me into the office to show me some of the original items that were available for sale to help fund the museum upkeep. But, whilst I was tempted by a couple of period Dutch National Socialist badges, I decided that I had better try to maintain focus on my airborne interest and left empty handed.

Operation Market Garden: The Glider Collection Wolfheze

The Glider Collection Wolfheze is a private collection relating to the British airborne assault on Arnhem in 1944. Operation Market Garden which occurred between the 17th and 26th of September 1944 is one of the best known allied airborne operations of World War Two. The goal of the operation was to push through the German lines from the Belgian city of Neerpelt to Arnhem in Holland, bypassing the German Siegfried Line and crossing their last natural obstacle, the Rhine river. This would allow them to sweep east into Germany, knock out the German industrial base in the Ruhr pocket and end the war before Christmas. But as history shows, things did not work out that way.

As part of the operation, the British 1st Airborne Division had to secure bridges over the Rhine at Arnhem and hold them until linking up with the XXX-Corps who were advancing from Neerpelt. On 17 September, pathfinders from the 21st Independent Parachute Company marked the drop zones and landing areas near the small Dutch village of Wolfheze, approximately 10km northwest of Arnhem in preparation for the arrival of the 350 gliders ferrying the 1st Airlanding Brigade under the command of Brigadier Philip Hicks.

The landings were largely unopposed as the Germans were initially thrown into confusion and the 1st Airlanding Brigade moved off from the landing zones whilst the 1st Parachute Brigade headed east towards the bridges. The fields around Wolfheze remained one of the primary entry points for the Allied airborne troops, receiving reinforcements from the 1st Airborne Division on the 18th and troops from the Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade on the 19th.

Around the town of Wolfheze are several sites commemorating the operation including a Glider Memorial at Liberation Route Marker 25. The Liberation Route follows the course of the Allies during the liberation of Europe. The route starts in Normandy and continues via Nijmegen and Arnhem in the direction of Berlin.
The memorial is also located close to the entrance of "De Lindenhof" Camping & Chalet Park which is also home to the private collection of Paul Hendriks who has assembled a collection of artifacts related to the gliders used during Operation Market Garden. The Glider Collection Wolfheze contains several pieces salvaged from the landing zones around Arnhem as well as sections of a Horsa and a Hamilcar glider plus other bits and pieces related to the battle.
This is a private museum so it is not open for viewing every day however his website lists the official opening days for the year. Alternatively, you can contact Paul by telephone or email to arrange a viewing.

Zamro is an ambitious and dynamic e-commerce company that was founded in February 2016. It has great ambitions for cross-border growth and focuses on the rapidly changing behaviour of the technical B2B buyer. With an assortment of over 550,000 industrial components, Zamro wishes to become a one-stop shop primarily directed at smaller and medium-sized business clients. Ease of use, perfectly understanding the customer and complete transparency are key ingredients for Zamro to disrupt its sector. But how can a young start-up become lean enough to scale up quickly and conquer Europe? We visited the headquarters in Amsterdam. Zamro emerged from the ERIKS Group, an industrial supplier and market leader serving large clients. ERIKS is a multi-product specialist, operating a total cost of ownership model, which was hard to replicate as a business model for smaller customers. In order to tap this group of companies, the idea was born to launch a webshop for technical supplies and tools for SMEs. Zamro was founded on the 11st of February 2016, and the website went live in October.
The market is relatively big. According to Kerssens, only in Europe the volume already amounts to €125bn, €50bn of which is generated by SMEs. Nevertheless, there is no digital pure player active in this market yet. Also, the market is very fragmented: the larger parties in the market have market shares less than 1%. Kerssens explains that the above-mentioned are all signs that this market is ready for digital disruption. He adds that the trends in B2C retail, where customers are increasingly purchasing online, start to reflect on the B2B world. People are getting used to a high level of convenience and are ready to also experience that when buying for their company. Zamro aims to become a 'one-stop-shop' for entrepreneurs and assist their buyers with technical guidance tools. They aim to break down all barriers and make buying technical supplies easier. Existing businesses react scared: "We already feel the disruption effect. Other players in the market are asking: Who are you? Why are you making the prices transparent? Which is exactly what we wanted," affirms Kerssens. At the moment, Zamro taps into the international stock and distribution system of mother-company ERIKS, but aims to expand the assortment with more specialised supplies in the long run to focus better on their target group. In addition, in order to become a one-stop-shop, items such as toilet paper and office chairs need to be added to the offer in the future.
B2C customers are a 'by-catch' for Zamro. They focus on B2B clients, showing VAT-exclusive prices and offering many brands that are specifically meant for professional clients. "Although at the moment 20-25% of our sales go to consumers, they are not our primary target group", however, much of the customer behaviour and expectations are quite similar, finds Paul Kerssens. The person who places the orders is not necessarily the one who actually works with the products in the end, which is why good selection guidance is crucial. On top of that, professional orders often need authorisation from the management, which is why they are working on integrating a purchasing authorisation flow in the order process. "A huge difference between B2B and B2C is the order quantities: businesses tend to order much more." In terms of delivery, reliability and expectation management seem more important than speed.
"We don't want to become a traditional marketplace, because as a marketplace you lose control over content. But it's exactly the content that is key for us in order to offer guided selling. We want to diversify our offers and sell products from more suppliers and partners via our platform. The OMS system enables us to integrate more suppliers next to ERIKS." Zamro eyes a drop-shipping system and will, in the long run, consider opening their own fulfilment facilities.

LONDON DIGEST	 May 1, 2019
Police Appeal For Information Over Bodies Of 2 Women Found In Freezer
Detectives investigating the discovery of two bodies at an address in Canning Town are appealing for help to build a picture of activity at the premises.
The bodies of two women were found inside a freezer at a flat in Vandome Close, E16.
One is believed to be Mary Jane Mustafa, a 38-year-old mum of two who vanished mysteriously last May.
Police were called at 11:45hrs on Friday, 26 April to the address following concerns for the welfare of a male occupant.
Local officers subsequently gained entry and made the discovery.
Detectives continue to work to carry out formal identification of the victims and trace next of kin.
Post-mortem examinations are due to begin on Friday, 3 May but are likely to take several days to conclude.
On Tuesday, 30 April, a 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder and taken into custody, where he remains.
A 50-year-old man arrested on suspicion of murder on Monday, 29 April, has been released under investigation.
An incident room is open at the Homicide and Major Crime Command under Detective Chief Inspector Simon Harding. DCI Harding said: "I have encountered many crime scenes over 28 years and this one of the most challenging and complex to deal with.
At the heart of this investigation are two women who were found inside this address and my primary focus is to identify them and inform their families. I can assure you that we are doing this as fast as is possible given the circumstances using a number of approved methods as part of formal identification processes. It is so important for these women's families that we are 100 per cent sure who the victims are before we name them and I would respectfully ask that people refrain from speculation and attempts to confirm their identities while this work is ongoing – this is not helpful and accentuates an already distressing situation.
"The post-mortem examinations are scheduled to begin on Friday, 3 May but it is unlikely we will get a cause of death and a clearer picture of how these women died for some days given the challenging conditions in which they were found.
"I have a full homicide team working day and night on this case and we are continuing work to build up a comprehensive picture of activity that took place at this address in Vandome Close.
"We know it is a property that various people used to stay at, transient members of the community who moved from address to address. It is also linked to drug activity. It is too early to say whether either of our victims had a similar lifestyle and again I would ask people to be respectful and not speculate.
"I would appeal to anyone who has visited this address over the last year, or has information about people who frequented the property to come forward and speak to my team. I am aware that casts a wide net in terms of my appeal but we do need to build up an accurate picture of life at that flat and what occurred there."
Anyone who can help is asked to contact the incident room on 020 8721 4205, via @MetCC or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.

Altitude, like elevation, is the distance above sea level. Areas are often considered "high-altitude" if they reach at least 2,400 meters (8,000 feet) into the atmosphere.
The most high-altitude point on Earth is Mount Everest, in the Himalayan mountain range on the border of Nepal and the Chinese region of Tibet. Mount Everest is 8,850 meters (29,035 feet) tall. The urban area of El Alto, Bolivia, is the most high-altitude city on Earth. All 1.2 million residents live about 4,150 meters (13,615 feet) above sea level.
Altitude is related to air pressure. In fact, aviators and mountaineers can measure their altitude by measuring the air pressure around them. This is called indicated altitude, and is measured by an instrument called an altimeter.
As altitude rises, air pressure drops. In other words, if the indicated altitude is high, the air pressure is low.
This happens for two reasons. The first reason is gravity. Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible.
The second reason is density. As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what meteorologists and mountaineers mean by "thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.
High-altitude locations are usually much colder than areas closer to sea level. This is due to the low air pressure. Air expands as it rises, and the fewer gas molecules—including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide—have fewer chances to bump into each other.
The human body reacts to high altitudes. Decreased air pressure means that less oxygen is available for breathing. One normal effect of altitude is shortness of breath, since the lungs have to work harder to deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It can take days and even weeks for a body to adjust to high altitude and low air pressure.
People who spend too much time in high-altitude locations risk more serious symptoms of altitude sickness. These may range from headaches and dizziness to much more serious consequences, such as brain or lung damage. Above about 8,000 meters (26,000 feet), the human body cannot survive at all, and starts to shut down. Mountaineers call this altitude the "death zone."
To prevent severe altitude sickness, mountaineers bring supplemental (extra) supplies of oxygen and limit their time in the "death zone."
Different regions have different air pressures, even at the same altitude. Factors such as climate and humidity impact local air pressure. Air pressure also decreases around the poles. For this reason, if Mount Everest was located in the U.S. state of Alaska or the continent of Antarctica, it could never be summited without supplemental oxygen—the pressure would make the altitude seem 914 meters (3,000 feet) higher.
In astronomy, altitude has a somewhat different meaning. It describes the angle between the horizon and some point in the sky. For example, if a star is directly overhead, its altitude is 90 degrees. If a star has just set or is just about to rise, it is right at the horizon and has an altitude of 0 degrees.
The North Star, Polaris, does not rise or set because the Earth's axis passes directly through it. It thus has a constant altitude when viewed from anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. This makes it incredibly useful in celestial navigation.
Mount Everest is the highest point of altitude on Earth.
Water normally boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). But for each 500-foot increase in altitude, the boiling point drops about one degree. Water therefore boils much more quickly in Denver, Colorado, than it does in Honolulu, Hawaii. But, because the actual temperature of the water does not increase, it takes longer to cook food.

Every hard money loan in Colorado has to be in writing, otherwise it is not enforceable. Colorado Code 38.10.108.
In Colorado, a loan cannot have a prepayment penalty that extends past the adjustment date of the rate, or the date when the teaser rate expires. That means that if you have a prepayment clause in your loan agreement, it cannot apply past the date that your loan's rate adjusts or changes.


A new karaoke bar will go into a small portion of the former Urban Outfitters space on Front St. in Downtown Boise.
Voicebox Karaoke Boise will take over a small portion of the former Urban Outfitters space in Downtown Boise on 8th St. at Front St.
The Portland-based concept brings karaoke to private suites, paired with food and a liquor bar. It will go in the back 3,100 square feet of the former UA spot – with the front, larger portion still for lease.
Urban Outfitters closed in April of 2017 and moved to the Village at Meridian.
Each suite will feature screens for performers and the "crowd." A control panel or phone app gives the ability to control the atmosphere like lights and music.
The new bar will employ about 20 people.
This will be Voicebox's third location, after Portland, Or and Denver. Simon also plans a second Portland location.
As BoiseDev reported last week, Hendricks Commercial Properties is working on a large-scale revamp of the Bodo development. Its CEO says it has been choosy with potential tenants. Voicebox fits Hendricks CEO Rob Gerbitz's goal for the project.

Fleece Blankets are very comforting for the children who receive them as well as fun and rewarding for the children and adults who make them. Because we work so closely with the hospitals and shelters where your blankets are donated, we have specific guidelines to better meet their requirements, as well as make your experience a pleasant one.
Fleece material is 60" wide and has a selvage on both sides that has to be cut off before you even decide how you are going to finish your blanket. The selvage is approximately 1" to 2" wide, sometimes it's very fuzzy and rolled, or it may be white with manufacturer information. To be on the safe side, please ask the person cutting the material to show you the selvage. Each blanket should be made from no less than 1.5 to 2 yards of fleece.
There are several ways to finish a fleece blanket - bunny ears, rotary scalloped edge, braided, surged, sewed, etc. - but the most popular is the no-sew method of making tied knots or cutting a fringe. These are not hard to make, however, if you aren't use to working with fleece, your blanket could end up puckered and/or lopsided, and one you would not want to give to anyone, much less a very sick child. Please follow these chapter guidelines to help you make a more perfect blanket and the process a lot easier. There is a link "Fleece Blanket Finishing" on the left side bar that will give you specific instructions on your border of choice.
2. Use sharp scissors for a smooth cut. Dull scissors will chew the fabric.
3. Single layer only please. You can comfort twice as many children the for same cost.
5. Knots or fringe should be no longer than 5"
6. Be careful not to tie the knots too tight. If the material puckers, the knots are too tight.
7. Be careful not to pull the fringe as this will cause it to curl.

Inside Line Promotions - LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (April 3, 2019) - Harli White had dreamed of soaking in the emotion of her first career ASCS sprint car win for several years.
That elusive first triumph slipped through her fingers on numerous occasions before White refused to let go last Friday evening at I-30 Speedway, which hosted an event sanctioned by the ASCS Mid-South, ASCS Sooner and ASCS Lone Star Regions.
"It's been a really long time coming," she said. "I should have won two years ago and last year as well. I always came up short and it's been frustrating to say the least. I think once you get the first win under your belt the rest will come easier. I know I held my breath the last few laps of the race Saturday because I wanted to win so badly. It's so exciting. Everybody was pumped. It gives me a huge confidence boost going into the next race."
White swept the night, first winning a heat race from the pole before maneuvering from fourth to the claim the main event.
"Usually you don't want to start on the pole of the heat because of passing points, but the way the track was you needed to start in the front," she said. "That was a good draw. We had to win the heat to be in a good position for the A Main. There wasn't a lot of passing going on so we were able to get in the redraw and we had a good redraw by getting the No. 4."
White said she ran third for the first few laps before advancing into second place for a handful of circuits.
"I took the lead around Lap 9," she said. "I felt good at the beginning of the race, but the longer the race went the worse it got. I think we know what to do to make it better so I'm excited to see what happens when we get the car the way we want it."
The finish of the race was wild as Sam Hafertepe Jr. passed White for the lead on the final lap.
"Sam slid me going into turn one," she said. "I turned down and came up front of him (on the exit of turn two). I led down the backstretch and I went straight to the bottom going into turn three. I slid up the track in turn four to protect. It was real close."
White will take that momentum into the 9th annual Park City Cup/Air Capital Shootout this Friday and Saturday at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan., with the NCRA Series.
She will have a variety of new t-shirts for sale at her race trailer.

"It's great to be able to support a foundation that supports children," White said. "Life of Hope Ministries does amazing work to better the lives of so many children. Whether it's through mission trips, child sponsorship or any of the other projects, Life of Hope Ministries provides so much love and hope. I hope we can bring more awareness to the great things they are doing."
White would also like to thank Dustin's Dream, Charlie's Trucking and Forklift, Inc., Lucas Oil Products, Inc., The Mower Shop, Brown & Miller Racing Solutions, PXP Racewear, Choice Builders, Peak Energy, FK Rod Ends, Cole Agency, Allstar Performance, Jerry Tucker Roustabout, LLC, Donnie Ray Crawford Legacy Foundation, Shiners Hospitals for Children, Mach-1 Chassis and Chick Magnet Motorsports for their continued support.
Inside Line Promotions - MILTON, Fla. (April 2, 2019) - Derek Hagar garnered his first two podium finishes of the season last weekend during a Southeastern Sprint Car Series doubleheader at Southern Raceway.
Hagar placed third on Friday and second on Saturday as he made his first non-wing sprint car starts since September 2016. The event also marked the first time he raced his own car in non-wing competition since September 2013.
"I think it turned out to be a good weekend," he said. "It was a smart move on the business side of it. At least we got to do some racing, enjoy some sunshine and have a good weekend."
The event kicked off on Friday with Hagar winning a heat race after starting on the outside of the front row.
"We had a good heat and got the lead off the start," he said. "That put us third in points so we started third in the main event. We got up to second and had a good car. We made a couple of charges on restarts. They do dixie restarts where the leader starts out front and then it's two by two behind them. We had a long red and after that my car wasn't the same and we backed up to third."
Saturday started on another strong note as Hagar maneuvered from seventh to second place in a heat race. That gave him the most points and garnered the pole position for the A Main.
"Saturday we got outran by a guy who runs non-wing for a living," he said. "He came down from Indiana and is a USAC regular non-wing guy. I knew in the feature as soon as he stood on the gas and the left front came off the ground we didn't have anything for him. With him having a 410 engine versus our 360 and being competitive with him it was a good showing. All we did was take the wings off. We had the winged sprint car setup on it from the get-go. That's something to write down in the notebook. If the opportunity comes to race again we'll be better prepared.
"We were still competitive with him. I wasn't able to make a good charge on him. We had a restart with 10 laps to go. I tried to charge the corner hard, but he kept his head on his shoulders and drove by me."
Hagar finished second to wrap up the weekend with his second straight podium.

"They've been in the family since J&J Auto Racing started building cars," Hagar said. "My stepdad's dad owned race cars back in the Riverside days. They are good, safe, dependable race cars and great people to deal with."
Hagar would also like to thank Dynotech Performance, DHR Suspension, B&D Towing and Recovery, Fragola Performance Systems, Xtreme Race Graphics, Southern Collision Centre, ButlerBuilt Professional Seat Systems, Weld Wheels, Hinchman Racewear, Wix Filters, Wings Unlimited, FK Rod Ends, Valvoline and Ti64 for their continued support.
Inside Line Promotions - LEXINGTON, Tenn. (April 2, 2019) - Greg Wilson posted his second straight podium finish last Friday at Lexington 104 Speedway, where he garnered a runner-up result.
Wilson and his Hercules Tires, DNC Hydraulics, Ohio Logistics and Gear Off Road sponsored team was strong throughout the USCS Series event. He won the dash from the pole position, but had to start much further back in both the heat race and main event.
"It's all pill draw," he said. "We started last in the heat and passed three cars. At the end of the heat we were trying to get by another car. I was probably too tentative, but I didn't want to get tore up either."
Wilson maneuvered from seventh to fourth place in a heat race. That ranked him seventh in overall points following the heat races. The feature inversion was six, meaning Wilson narrowly missed starting on the front row for the main event.
"In the feature it took us awhile to get going because we had tightened up," he said. "Once we burned some fuel off we got going. Carson (Short) and his team did a really good job. My hats off to them. If the race went green in traffic maybe we were a little better than Carson. We could go where they couldn't go and when he couldn't pick his lane we were better, but that's racing. Out in clean air with a restart with a few laps to go he was good."
Wilson charged from seventh to second in the feature.
"We're not where we need to be with the car, but it's good for our confidence to run well," he said. "We're doing the right things. We just need to go a little further or step back and find another tweak to make."
Saturday's USCS Series event at Old No. 1 Speedway in Harrisburg, Ark., rained out.
The plan for this weekend is still up in the air with potential inclement weather. Wilson does plan on competing on Sunday at Waynesfield Raceway Park in Waynesfield, Ohio.
March 29 - Lexington 104 Speedway in Lexington, Tenn. - Dash: 1 (1); Heat race: 4 (7); Feature: 2 (7).

Their business does a lot of work with race tracks. They did a big carpet job at Kentucky Speedway. It's pretty cool what they do.
"Robert Salathe III a.k.a. "RGIII" of Bedford Valley Petroleum has owned race teams in Pennsylvania. I met him a few years ago and he's been involved with our deal for about three years now. We're very grateful for his support."

Our newest partner provides a very important resource for current and future Marines of every stripe. All Marines are required to read the books appropriate to their rank for professional development. There are categories for recruits and candidates as well.
Before you report to OCS, it would be beneficial to not only read the Candidates category, but also start the Leadership list as well. If you are a flight contract, of course you would benefit from reading the Aviation category as well.
The Marine Corps Commandant's Reading List is a list of required annual reading for all officer and enlisted Marines, whether active duty or reserve. Officer candidates and recruits have required reading of their own as well. Check it out!

Pope John Paul II began the first papal visit to South Korea Thursday with an appeal for greater human rights. The Pontiff also called for reconciliation between North and South Korea.
''I pray that your beloved fatherland, now tragically divided in two for over a generation, will be reunited in one family, not through confrontation and hostility, but through dialogue, mutual trust, and brotherly love,'' he said.
At Sungkyunkwan University, about 500 students hurled stones at riot police who fired tear gas at them. The students were protesting alleged suppression of civil rights by President Chun Doo Hwan. The protest occurred 500 yards from a seminary the Pope was visiting.
The Pope is spending four days in South Korea to mark the 200th anniversary of the Roman Catholic Church here.


I have noticed my hitachi 50vx500 TV has too much red in people clothes. It can flood out the people. I also noticed when the screen is on a dark scene a large center part of the screen is flooded with a reddish light. I have used Ovation DVD to adjust the color but the reddish light is still there on dark scenes.
Depending on how long you've had your T.V, these problems are usually lamp related.
Open the lamp door and inspect the lamp in the housing to see if it looks bad.
yOUR TV HAS A BAD LIGHT EGINE ASSEMBLE. n EED TO REPLACE A NEW LIGHT ENGINE ASSEMBLY.
Do you have a center speaker near it? maybe move it, that is what I have done and it seems to have gotten better.
A BIG RED SPOT APPEARS ON THE SCREEN WHEN U TURN IT ON WHEN IT IS STILL BLACK. THEN ARED HAZE IS VISABLE IN ABOUT I 6 INCH AREA WHEN VIEWING THE TV.
We had the same problem and the infamous "red cloud" is a light engine defect and Hitachi knows about it. After calling Hitachis Customer Relations Department (not customer service) they referred us to a local Hitachi dealer that diagnosed the problem in less than a minute as a "light engine defect". We called Hitachi back and once they confirmed this with the dealer, they shipped the part to the dealer and the tech came out and installed it...looks like brand new TV. Here's the deal though, when you first call Hitachi, they will act like they've never heard of the problem until you have theTV looked at. They will pay for the part...$1500 but they will ask you to pay the install. Our install was $400...worth it to us on a $3600 TV. Be sure and call the Hitachi customer relations department and not regular customer service...you will get no where with them. The Customer Relations Department # is 800-654-7013. Good Luck!
50vx500 lamp light I have a flashing lamp indicator light on a Hitachi 50vx500 projection TV. Originally it was lit solid indicating lamp is dead (after 7 years of use, not bad). I've ordered a replacement and when it's installed the lamp light flashes steady which indicates "incorrect lamp assy / lamp door open". When I put the original dead lamp back in the TV tries so start up (hear lamp fan going) but then it goes through its cool-down process and I get solid lamp indicator light again so I'm sure it's not a dead door switch. The light folks (bought online) have sent a replacement but it does the same thing. Please help.
Have a manual for Hitachi 50VX500 Television?

The Ginger Snapped
Jinkx and Major have come to showcase their new music from their upcoming album... however Jinkx worries that her best years are behind her. In order to avoid a breakdown of diva proportions Major must act as both pianist and therapist to the Manic Miss Monsoon. Music and mental health collide in this witty, biting look at the dark side of Drag fame.
With special guest Nick Sahoyah
"I loved THE GINGER SNAPPED and anyone who doesn't feel the same way must be crazy! I've seen the show four times. Jinkx & Major are such an incredibly talented creative duo. They put on a stellar show together that's a unique and fresh departure from today's popular drag entertainment. The show is hilarious and heartfelt and full of fabulous original music that leaves you wanting more." -Peaches Christ
"The best voice in the business singing the best original songs I've heard in years. THE GINGER SNAPPED is a nutty knockout!" - Varla Jean Merman
