A Sailors Valentine Class: Fill & Download for Free

"Lady is a Tramp" is a show tune from the 1937 musical Babes in Arms and is sung from a female perspective. (The popular song "My Funny Valentine" is from the same show and sung by the same character.)The lyrics poke fun of New York high society by portraying a strong, independent woman with her own priorities in life. She has no interest in bothering with social rules, frivolity, or keeping up with appearances. Thus the wealthy stereotypical socialites dismiss her as a tramp (a bohemian or low class person).The original lyrics are more explicit than subsequent versions and have dated references to the New York City culture of the mid-1930s.It is also featured in the 1944 musical film Two Girls and a Sailor when Lena Horne makes a singing cameo appearance.Today the most popular version is that of Frank Sinatra. In this version (and others featuring male singers) he is defending the woman for being unconventional and sticking to her guns. Sinatra originally sang the song in the 1957 movie Pal Joey. He sings it to/about Rita Hayworth who sees it first as sarcastic and later as a compliment.Here is a version with the original lyrics sung by Ella Fitzgerald.

Crafts are my downfall. I have to avoid craft fairs or I'd buy every gimcrack meant to hold clothespins, made from an empty soup can and some leftover lace.Crafters awe me; I love looking at homemade, handmade quilts and baby blankets, knitted sweaters, sailor's valentines, shadow boxes, hooked rugs, and beaded purses. I still want to try a sailor's valentine, or even bathtub gin.I'm not sure why I mentioned those two things together, but they do seem to fit. Making my own soap looks doable too, but if I ever got it to look as good as the examples on Pinterest, I'd never use it. That's the trouble with crafts and specialty cooking. I hate to use them or eat them.Oh! And I have several vintage train cases I thought I could decorate, just like the gorgeous ones that are again, on Pinterest.One case I started has been half decoupaged for two months, now. It's better that I stay away from Pinterest altogether. At least the train cases are useful; I've put pictures and CDs in two, and I'm using one of them for - you guessed it - craft supplies.At various times I've tried woodworking, hooking rugs, cutting out squares for a quilt in a quilting class, sewing beads on little squares of canvas, the beads so small you could go blind.I've painted rocks with my nephew, trying to make a gray rock look like a curled up doe, but what we got were some cute little houses. Houses are easy. Just paint on square doors and windows, and a few flowers.We never tried ashtrays, because few people are smoking anymore. I did alright in first grade with the turkey I made, by drawing around my outspread fingers and then coloring in the fingers to make the outspread tail of a turkey.When we go hiking, we collect roadside flowers, interesting weeds, pinecones, and anything else that might look good when it dries, and we glue it all to wreaths with a hot glue gun. Our efforts have turned out pretty well, so we gave them as gifts.The beautiful pictures in the craft or home magazines, or on Pinterest, always have directions, so ostensibly you could make the pictured item yourself.Somehow, my efforts never look the same as the beautiful example in the picture and is never that easy to make, either.As bad as I am at it, I keep trying to be crafty.

These ships are a misunderstanding. For me personally, having the best admirals, naval officers and sailors in the world and making them fight with such cramped battle platforms is a crime. The King George V series are the most sparse, truncated, battleships designed and built on the eve and during World War II.The reason is simple. These are battleships, designed and built not according to the wishes and needs of Royal Navi, but according to imaginary standards imposed by incompetent politicians."Ignorance, stupidity and a complete misunderstanding of the specifics of military affairs as a Cain mark mark the decisions of governments of this period."These are not my words. This is the definition of the great British historian Peter C. Smith for the "care" of all British governments for the British army, navy and air force between the First and Second World Wars, in the preface to the Russian edition of the „Great Ships Pass”.The King George V series is the only battleship series in the world designed and built according to the political regulations of the 1930 London Maritime Treaty. Moreover, with the clear awareness that no other country has any intention of complying with them.As, quite frankly, admits on the sidelines of the conference, admiral Yamamoto of British Prime Minister MacDonald, the main supporter of restrictions on the design and construction of new battleships, who naively asks:-But Japan will comply with the restrictions on tonnage and artillery?- I'm sorry, sir. If others build bigger and more powerful ships, Japan will build too.Thus, Britain remains the only country to adhere to the "agreement" hatched by the heads of its own politicians. And it resolves the issue politically. It does not rely on a powerful and combat-ready ship, but on quantity. The King George V battleships became the largest series of battleships of the 1930s and 1940s.The number of disadvantages of this type traditionally includes the number of errors made at the design stage. The sailing distance of the battleships turned out to be insufficient, and the seaworthiness was relatively low due to the not very well-founded tactical request to fire straight on the course, at zero angles of elevation of the cannons.Things are not going well with underwater protection either. All the designers' calculations turned out to be incorrect. The depth of protection becomes insufficient and the construction imperfect. As a result, the Prince of Wales virtually lost combat capability after only two hits by relatively weak Japanese aircraft. This is supported by the unsuccessful decision in the plan of the energy installation of the ships.If we consider the purely battleship complex, the "King George V" seems, to put it mildly, modest compared to its contemporaries, primarily due to the short-sighted choice of artillery. In itself, the armored protection of battleships looks good on paper, but without to provide reliable protection from 380-460-mm shells. The zones of invulnerability, ie. the range of distances at which the side bumper is no longer drilled but the deck is not yet drilled is very limited for the King George V. In fact, only the apparently unarmed Scharnhorst-type ships do not pose a particular threat to the King. British battleships look particularly bad against Iowa and Yamato.On the other hand, all of the King's contemporaries were well protected by the relatively light British shells, and they all had large enough areas of invulnerability in the fight against King George V battleships. As a result, from a formal point of view, British battleships would be at a great disadvantage, especially in the paintbrush.Any weapon is only good when used properly. In this respect, British naval commanders from the Second World War are, in general, at a height, thanks to which not the most perfect, but skillfully used battleships of the type "King George V" played a relatively positive role in the armed struggle at sea.Too bad, such capable, brave and ruthless naval commanders and sailors as the British were forced to fight battleships as stingy as the King George V series by incompetent British politicians.LiteratureСмит П.
