Frosty the Snowman - Christmas Tutorial no 8
You will need the following kit:
White wool tops - or preformed small and medium sized felt balls
Black wool tops
Cocktail sticks
Left over sock wool
Black cotton
White cotton
Selection of embroidery threads
A marble
Needle - sewing and mattress
Bubble wrap
Soap and warm water
Bamboo mat
Glue gun
Firstly, you have to make two felt balls and to remind you how to make them take a look at the felt beads tutorial or you can buy ready prepared felt balls at most good craft stores. You will need to create one ball which is smaller than the other to create the head and a larger one to become the body
Next we are going to create the felt hat for your snowman. Lay out strands of your tops as follows - horizontal, vertical, horizontal, vertical -on top of the bubble wrap, which lies on top of your bamboo mat which has an old towel beneath it.
Using your soap and warm water spray on top of the tops, now fold over the bubble wrap and spray again on top of the bubble wrap and start to agitate on top of the tops.
After a minute, open it up and rotate it by 90' and agitate again (by this I mean rub it in small circles with your fingertips...) this is how you felt your tops together to make your felt hat.
Now roll up your felt piece in the bubble wrap, but continue to do this in your bamboo mat... roll the mat for about 40 rolls, then open it up flip it 90' and roll it again. The area of your felt will shrink by up to a third.
You now need to shock your felt - crude jokes will not work - do this with cold water to rinse out the soap.
Grab your marble, and fold the felt over it, using a length of yarn, capture the felt around the marble with a length of wool and let it rest until it dries to make the shape of your hat.
Using your cocktail sticks, cast on four stitches and knit in a garter stitch pattern on these four stitches until the scarf measures at least six inches in garter stitch and then cast off. I used a crochet hook to make fringing on the scarf.
Now, as the felt balls have dried, using your white cotton, start on the smaller ball and stab through to the larger ball with your mattress needle and back up to the smaller head ball and fasten your cotton off.
Free your black hat from the marble, using a contrasting shade of embroidery thread, stab through the top of the head and leave a loop of a few inches and come back down through the hat and knot it firmly. Glue onto the head.
Now for the face, you can embroider the eyes in black french knots to represent the coal, then orange for the carrot nose and a red line for the mouth. If you are not happy with your embroidery skills, steal your children's felt tips and pencil them on.
On each side of the body, using the black cotton doubled up, sew the arms and hands. Then the three buttons down the chest... or with your felt tips.
Finally, wrap your scarf around the snowman's neck to keep him warm whilst he is hanging on your tree.
Grateful thanks are due to Lyn for her technical advice, do take a look at her superb felting blog http://www.rosiepink.typepad.co.uk/

Several Wins at William and Mary Tribe Invitational
WILLIAMSBURG, Va – The Bulldogs competed in their first meet of the outdoor track season today. Yale showed off its spring training thus far with many top-five performances on the day. Though the meet was unscored, the team performed well as a whole.
The highlight of the day was the 800-meter run, in which Yale athletes took the top three spots. Sophomore Annelies Gamble was first (2:14.74), followed by junior Gabriella Kelly (2:14.92) and sophomore Nihal Kayali (2:15.13). The Bulldogs' closest competitor was more than seven seconds behind.
Earlier, Kayali had started off her day with a win in the 1,500-meter run in 4:26.60, the sixth-fastest time in Yale history. She was joined in that event by freshman Sarah Barry, fourth in 4:30.90. Both Barry and Kayali have qualified for the ECAC Championship meet in the 1,500-meter run with their performances today. Kayali's time is currently the fourth-fastest in the nation, while Barry's is the 17th-fastest.
Kayali's time was impressive for the first meet of the season, said distance coach Mark Young '68. "That's a good time this early in the year, and a good time" even if it wasn't, he said.
Yale's sole distance runner of the day was junior Jacque Sahlberg, who placed second in her debut at the 3,000-meter run. Sahlberg finished her circuit in 10:07.68, just a second off of first and seven seconds in front of third.
In the sprints, Yale was lead by sophomore Allison Rue. She was third in the 400-meter dash (58.56) and sixth out of a field of 20 in the 200-meter dash (25.94). Sophomore Adele Jackson-Gibson placed fourth in the 200-meter dash in 25.52 while junior Emily Shulan was ninth (26.62). Shulan also competed in the 100-meter dash, finishing sixth (12.77), right behind junior Alexa Monti in fifth (12.73).
These athletes performed well in the relays as well. Gamble, Kelly and Rue combined with sophomore Jenna Poggi for a first-place finish in the 4x400 meter relay in 3:58.07. Jackson-Gibson, Shulan and Poggi teamed with freshman Kelsey Lin to place third in the 4x100 meter relay in 49.38.
Yale was represented by three Bulldogs in the hurdle events. Sophomore Dakota McCoy placed third in the 400-meter hurdles in 1:09.00 while freshman Amanda Snajder was ninth in the 100-meter hurdles in 15.95. Senior Emily Standish also competed in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing 11th in 17.32.
Bulldogs turned in some strong performances in the jumps as well. In the long jump, Jackson-Gibson was second out of over 15 competitors with a leap of 5.52 meters. She was followed by freshman Teresa Parent (11th- 4.85m) and freshman Kristen Proe (17th- 3.94m). Proe was also second in the triple jump (10.95m) to Parent's third (10.95m). In the high jump, Standish was second only by virtue of number of misses (1.60m), while Snajder tied for fourth (1.55m). Freshman Emily Urciuoli was 10th in the pole vault in 3.10m.
Yale throwers came out swinging today, with contributions from three athletes. Sophomore Antonia Renker was third in the hammer throw (42.23m) and seventh in the discus throw (31.13m). She was backed up by senior Rachel Kuschner, ninth in the hammer throw (30.74m) and ninth in the discus throw (28.50m). Lastly, senior captain Eve King was eighth in the javelin throw with a toss of 21.47m.
In all, the Bulldogs seem to have a promising season ahead of them this spring. They will rest for the next week before heading down to Princeton, N.J. on Apr. 1 for the Sam Howell Invitational.

UNITAR Supports Myanmar's Asean Chairmanship with Five Training Workshops in Nay Pyi Taw [1]
March-April 2014, Nay Pyi Taw, Republic of the Union of Myanmar – For the first time since joining the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) seventeen years ago, Myanmar has taken the rotating chair of the regional organisation for the year 2014. With Myanmar positioning itself as an active player in regional integration and diplomacy, the ASEAN Chairmanship provides great opportunities for the country to strengthen its commitment to regional and international cooperation.
Benefiting from more than 50 years of experience in providing diplomatic training, UNITAR has been collaborating with Myanmar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) since 2006 to implement training activities for diplomats and officials from various ministries. In this framework of cooperation, UNITAR has conducted four activities focused on diplomacy and international law.
In the context of the preparations for the 2014 ASEAN chairmanship UNITAR has already delivered a training programme in December 2012 as well as one in February 2013, both covering aspects of Conference Diplomacy, ASEAN Diplomacy, Diplomatic Protocol, Chairmanship and Negotiation Skills.
Building on these previous training programmes, UNITAR is currently providing Myanmar diplomats and government officials with training in five core areas: Conference Diplomacy and Negotiation Skills, Conference Management, Diplomatic Protocol, Diplomatic Report Writing and Note-taking Skills, as well as Public Speaking in English and Media Relations. The implementation of this series of training courses is made possible thanks to the generous support of Total Myanmar.
The first workshop, on Diplomatic Report Writing and Note-taking Skills, has already been concluded and was a resounding success. The highly interactive workshop provided junior diplomats with the tools to effectively write reports and to take notes during international meetings and summits. A key message from the resource person, Mr. David Massey, to the junior diplomats was that "Failing to prepare is preparing to fail".
Moving on from Report Writing, Conference Management is next on the schedule in Nay Pyi Taw. Facilitated by Ms. Hoang Thi Ha, Assistant Director of the ASEAN Secretariat, the workshop will be held on Friday March 28, and will aim to prepare the Myanmar diplomats for ASEAN-specific issues in Conference Management. Three more workshops will follow, with the last taking place April 7-9, offering training in Public Speaking and Media Relations.
With the spotlight now on Myanmar, the partnership with UNITAR is set to help the country chair a successful ASEAN year, attaining the ideals expressed in its Chairmanship slogan "Moving Forward in Unity to a Peaceful and Prosperous Community."

Before S.S. Coachella, which put the popular Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on a cruise ship last year, was Jason Beukema's parties at sea.
In 2004, the music-loving Floridian invited 125 of his friends for a weekend-long cruise centered around music and a mantra: "Work hard. Play harder."
Now nearly a decade later, the party has grown to be known as the "world's largest floating dance music festival" and it sailed off the coast of Long Beach on the Carnival Inspiration for its first West Coast launch since 2009.
The musical cruise experience took about 2,000 people, from all over Southern California and as far as Japan, India and Australia, on a trip from Sept. 27 to Sept. 30 and made stops at Catalina Island's Descanso Beach and Esenada, Mexico.
There were dozens of DJs including Brett Rubin, Morgan Page and Funkagenda to provide 72 hours of music, according to Whet Travel, the agency that organized the cruise. Past DJs include Deadmau5 and Benny Benassi.
It was such a success in its Southern California incarnation that it is expected to return again next year, said Beukema, CEO of Whet Travel and founder of the Groove Cruise.
"I had been on a ton of cruises and I was always bored because it was just a bunch of families and old people," Beukema said. "But I always had this vision of what it would be like if I had all my friends on a cruise, because in my mind a cruise ship is one of the most amazing venues for a party."
The average age on the party cruises by Whet Travel is 31.
"So, you see, there are places where us, young professionals, can still act like we're in college," Beukema said, laughing.
And the demand by that demographic is just growing.
"You'll see more of these music and themed cruises," said Tom Panici, sales director for Carnival. "There's no experience like this. Where can you go where you're on a ship with the artists you love?"

The Kite Runner
Amir, the son of a powerful Kabul businessman, considers himself to be a coward. And, for the most part, he is correct. He senses that he is a disappointment to his father and has largely resolved himself to the fact that he will never please the man. But his father's affection for Hassan, the household's servant boy and Amir's best friend, is a painful and constant reminder of the distance between himself and his only surviving parent.
Despite their differences in religious beliefs and social status, and the fact that Hassan is Amir's servant, the two boys grow up more like brothers than anything else. Hassan becomes a fiercely loyal best friend to Amir, someone who protects him from the city's bullies and looks out for him in every way possible. Amir, on the other hand, can never really forget that Hassan is a servant boy and a Hazara, a minority loathed by the dominant Afghani culture for its differences in religious beliefs and physical appearance. When one day faced with the chance to save Hassan from being humiliated and physically abused by his tormentors, Amir's courage fails him and he runs, leaving his friend to his terrible fate.
Amir, unable to live with what he's done or to face Hassan again, compounds his lack of courage with a scheme that is destined to forever change the lives of everyone in his household, a scheme that comes to haunt Amir himself more than anyone else. Even a new life in San Francisco with his father after fleeing the Taliban takeover of Kabul is not enough to erase the guilt that Amir feels, and when offered a chance to do some good for Hassan and his family, Amir somehow finds enough courage to return to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to offer his help.
Khaled Hosseini tells his tale of Afghanistan's tragic history through the eyes of its people, citizens who are living ordinary lives with everyday problems and who are largely content with their world. His characters are sympathetic and believable, and their experiences and reactions to what has happened to their country give the reader a better understanding of life in that part of the world than any history book or news magazine will ever offer. The same can be said for Hosseini's depiction of the close-knit Afghan immigrant community that has settled in San Francisco, a group he describes so compassionately and so completely that he leaves his reader with a good feel for what the immigrant experience is like in a world influenced by today's politics.
The Kite Runner is one of those rare novels that it would be a shame to miss. So don't.

This one got a 5/5 from me as well...great book!ReplyDelete
I really enjoyed this book as well. Considering that I thought the protagonist was a spoiled little creep half the time and still cared what happened to him and his family, it was a great book.ReplyDelete
I'll add it to my TBR.ReplyDelete
Joy - I don't know why I waited so long to read this one.ReplyDelete
Carrie - He was definitely a creep, but I suppose that's what made him so fascinating. Even at the end of the book I wasn't totally sure how i fell about Amir.
Bybee - I think you'll be happy that you did.
Glad you loved it too, Sam! I can't wait to read the next one!ReplyDelete
I've read it, Amy, and in several ways, I actually prefer it to The Kite Runner, but both are absolutely excellent.ReplyDelete
I loved The Kite Runner and was excited to see the trailer at the movies the other night when I went to see Becoming Jane (it is coming out sometime this fall. I can't wait to see if it is as wonderful in film.ReplyDelete
I will definitely want to see the movie, Stephanie. Do you know where they shot the film, by any chance?ReplyDelete
I didn't miss it, but unlike everyone else, I barely felt more than neutral about it. I think it's an important book, for obvious reasons. But I didn't enjoy it more than average, if that makes sense?ReplyDelete
Glad you liked it - I thought Hosseini's writing was fabulous. Have you read A Thousand Splendid Suns yet? Great review of this book.ReplyDelete
I'm happy every time someone reads this book. It is, indeed, remarkable. Absolutely remarkable.ReplyDelete
Dewey, I think I understand what you're saying...is it that the subject and content are important but the writing style didn't work particularly well for you?ReplyDelete
Thanks, Trish. I read the second book first and liked it almost as much as I liked this one. They both offer fascinating glimpses into a world that I never knew before.ReplyDelete
Gotta agree with you, Sarah. Both of his books are special.ReplyDelete

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Smith & Wesson Holdings fell Friday, declining about 6% on worries over slowing demand. While the firearms maker posted robust increases in second-quarter profit, a decline in its backlog raised a red flag with at least one analyst. "We note that the company's order backlog is now $333 million, down sequentially from $392 million last quarter and $439 million two quarters ago," wrote Rommel Dionisio of Wedbush. "While still high on a historical basis, this appears to indicate dealers who place such orders do not expect the now year-long industry demand surge to last that much longer." Smith & Wesson SWHC was down 57 cents at $10.28.

Despite her lawyer announcing the happy news in open court last month, Foxy Brown's manager today said, "And to the pregnancy rumors, this is the official statement: She is not pregnant." Damn, girl!
In August, defense lawyers told a judge that Foxy, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was three months pregnant. Foxy herself told the NY Post, "I'm getting married in September. I'm pregnant!"
A judge sentenced the rapper to a year in prison for violating her probation, after she was arrested last month on charges that she hit her neighbor with a BlackBerry.

- Synopsis
- "It felt like I was speeding on the Autobahn toward hell, trapped inside a DeLorean with no brakes. And even if I could somehow stop, I'd still be screwed, because there's no way I'd ever be able to figure out how to open those insane, cocaine-designed doors." The two-time Emmy Award-winning actress has written her first book, a surprisingly raw and triumphant memoir that is outrageous, moving, sweet, tragic, and heartbreakingly honest. GUTS is a true triumph--a memoir that manages to be as frank and revealing as Augusten Burroughs, yet as hilarious and witty as David Sedaris. With GUTS, Johnston takes us on a journey so truthful and relatable, so remarkably fresh, it promises to stay with the reader for a long, long time.

On my first trip to Ireland, the customs officer stamped my passport and said simply, "Welcome home." The greeting brought tears to my eyes, even though I'm fifth generation Irish-Canadian.
People of Irish heritage around the world share a strong sense of belonging and community, and this is the driving force behind The Gathering, Ireland's yearlong 2013 celebration of its diaspora.
Inspiration for The Gathering came from workshops led by the Irish government.
"The Gathering team started off by going to every county in Ireland and held meetings in community halls to talk to the locals," said Jayne Shackleford, Tourism Ireland manager. "Everyone realized how important it was to reach out and welcome our global family and friends back home. Each community came up with their own idea for events and this is very much a citizen-led event at a grassroots level. Its unbelievable how it has taken off."
The Gathering couldn't have come at a better time for Ireland. Currently there are 70 million people in the Irish diaspora; almost five million reside in Canada. That number is growing fast as the Irish once again leave home in search of employment. Irish visas to Canada alone are expected to rise to over 10,000 by 2014.
"For so many Irish, it's the bittersweet reality of living someplace other than the treasured isle that feels like home," said Claire Lang, a first-generation Irish-Canadian living in Toronto. Like many émigrés, Lang often felt there was something missing in her life but couldn't articulate what it was until she returned to Ireland.
"As much as I love and admire and am proud of Canada, I never felt quite right. It wasn't until I set foot on Irish soil that I had the enormous aha! moment," said Lang. "There's nothing like walking on the ground, feeling the wind in your hair, the mist on your face ... even the damp cold in your bones! It is thrilling and affirming. I wish every Irish descendent on earth could experience this gift of re-joining your natural tribe."
The Gathering kicked off with a spectacular New Year's Eve street party in Dublin. Over the course of this year, there are 1,700 events showcasing the country, its heritage and its people. There are dozens of clan reunions and festivals large and small showcasing Irish culture, traditions, music, dance, food, sport and, of course, the Irish sense of humour.
Many popular annual cultural events such as the Kinsale Arts Festival, Westport Music Festival, Ennis Street Festival, Galway Arts Festival, Lismore Music Festival and the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival have created special programs to mark The Gathering.
Naturally, St. Patrick's Day will be a major draw with 40-plus parades taking place throughout the country, including Dublin, which is inviting people to participate in the first March 17 People's Parade. Mullingar's parade will be streamed live to the world.
Irish legends will be celebrated on Easter weekend at the The Hill of Slane in Meath with a light show, poetry, music and fireworks re-enacting ancient events and tales, including the lighting of St. Patrick's Pascal Fire. Later in the summer, the village of Falcarragh, Donegal hosts the Evil Eye Festival exploring Celtic mythology and archaeological sites in the kingdom of Sli Lugdach, a warlord believed to have close to three million descendants.
Sporting events will include the Ocean to City Maritime festival celebrating traditional boat building and maritime culture. The week ends with the An Rás Mór traditional rowing race from Crosshaven to Cork City.
There are plenty of quirky events on the calendar to engage visitors. Sligo holds the World Irish Stew Championship during which professionals and amateurs compete to cook the winning recipe. Mullingar hosts the popular Left Hand Festival in August where all southpaws are offered left-handed hotel bedrooms and invited to the Left Hand Golf Tournament with the promise that nothing will go 'right' over the five-day festival. Genuine gingers are invited to discover their Irish "hair-itage" at the Crosshaven, County Cork Irish Redhead Convention. There will be freckle-counting competitions, photo shoots and "genuine ginger" certificates. Ballymoe, County Galway is hoping to break the world record for the largest gathering of bearded men. Visitors can have their beards judged and enjoy storytelling, poetry and a tour of the bogs.
The Gathering will also be a banner year for Irish music; many Irish musicians living overseas will be returning to participate. County Donegal is hosting the Buncrana Music, Arts & Culture Festival as well as the 11-day Come Gather Round People Sixties Festival in Moville — Europe's biggest event showcasing the music of Bob Dylan and the Beatles.
This year the world's largest Irish music competition, Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann, moves north to Derry, a historic first. The event will feature eight days in mid-August of music, concerts, ceilidh, parades, pageants and street sessions. The Dingle Tradfest in September is holding the Wanderer's Return Sessions, hosting musicians from far and wide, and in October the John Dwyer Trad Weekend in Waterford brings together traditional fiddlers and dancers. October is also the time for Sligo Live, a world-renowned six-day festival that draws international performers to this county famed for its musicians and poets. This year's festival includes a spoken-word program in honour of the great William Butler Yeats.
"It's a special year for anyone to visit whether you have Irish heritage or not. It's open to everyone who has a passion for Irish music, food and culture. This is a yearlong party and everyone is invited," Shackleford said.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Salt Lake City Warehouse Workers Suffered Hostile Work Environment, Agency Charges
DENVER – A Grand Junction, CO-based moving and storage company violated federal law at its Salt Lake City, UT warehouse by discriminating against employees because of their national origin, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, Hispanic warehouse workers employed at Mesa Systems, Inc. were subjected to discrimination, including a hostile work environment based on national origin. The employees were subject to slurs, such as "(expletive deleted) Mexicans," "(expletive deleted) you, mojado" [wetback], and that the warehouse manager was doing well until the immigrant employees came. The EEOC also alleges that employees of various national origins were subject to a restrictive language policy that had disparate impact against Hispanics and Asians/Pacific Islanders. The EEOC further claims that a number of employees suffered retaliation, including terminations and reductions in hours, after two employee petitions and other complaints were submitted to management.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII). The EEOC filed suit after first attempting to resolve the case informally through its conciliation process. The lawsuit, EEOC v. Mesa Systems, Inc., Civil Action No. 2:11-cv-01201-CW, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division, seeks back pay, lost benefits, compensatory and punitive damages, and reinstatement for the terminated employees, as well as injunctive relief, including training, policies, and programs to stop any future violations of Title VII.
"Offensive slurs and comments deriding one's national origin violate Title VII and are never appropriate in the workplace; such conduct is the very definition of a hostile work environment," said Mary Jo O'Neill, regional attorney for the EEOC's Phoenix District Office, whose jurisdiction includes the EEOC's Denver Field Office.
EEOC Denver Field Office Director Nancy Sienko said, "The EEOC's mission to eliminate and prevent all forms of employment discrimination, including discrimination based on national origin, remains vital and necessary. We stand ready to assist employees who believe they have suffered discrimination and who seek the EEOC's assistance."
According to its web site, Mesa Systems, Inc. delivers premium, customized mobility solutions to a diverse corporate, commercial, and residential customer base through four transportation subsidiaries operating in six states.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. The Phoenix District Office covers Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming, and part of New Mexico. Further information is available on the EEOC's website at www.eeoc.gov.

Life, Spirituality, Social Tech and Nonsense . PS: I love being nonsensical! ;-)
Monday, July 18, 2011
1. The W group: Wisdom, Work, Wit (includes pursuit of all mental skills)
2. The F group: Food, Fitness, Family (worldly relationships), and Finances
3. The S group: Serenity (search for peace and quiet), Spirituality (intrigued by sincerity, morals, supernatural experiences and social-causes) and Sensitivity (emotional rather than rational aspects, creative endeavors that don't necessarily make sense to others)
If you find yourself falling under one of these categories, do you think it is easier for you to relate to others in the same category?

Hey Nimmy... a perceptive classification indeed... I believe these types do exist.
The labels you've chosen are also catchy and brilliant.

- Nimmy said...
:-) Thanks, Rakesh. So glad to see you are able to relate to my thought!

- Rakesh Poddar said...
To add my 2 cents, I think there is another category of people who focus exclusively on power. They hardly care for the W group, neglect the F group, and don't give a damn to the S group. To them, power is the ultimate pleasure and the only worthwhile pursuit in life... therefore they tend to measure everything on the scale of power, consciously or unconsciously.

Hello Nimmy:
I can relate to people in all 3 buckets as you call it. I have labeled this, putting people in neat little boxes. The realm of medical science and academics.
I don't put a lot of stock in such foolishness---at least from my perspective.
All I will say, is choose a bucket that is not too heavy to carry. Perhaps the air head or space kadet bucket...real lightweights and a lot of fun at the same time. ((:
Take care my cleaver friend,
ps: I can also highly advise a trip to a land with a lot of water and forests. Good for not just the body but the Soul. Anywhere is Norden would fit the bill.

Thank you @Rakesh and @Mikey
@Rakesh: Umm....power with some money to boot? :-)
@Mikey: Yup...the realm of medical sciences and academics indeed! I think we (I speak for myself ;-)) tend to gravitate towards one of these dimensions based on parenting, natural abilities and strong experiences. Maybe we move from one to another based on specific circumstances....wonder if it is possible to be holistic in our approach via education. :-)

- Stranger in a Strange Land said...
Hello Nimmy:
You can take an holistic approach if you wish, but it's not yet time in the evolution of humanity for such freedom of thought. Individually, yes, it can be done, in a group , lots of luck or no way.
It's almost impossible to break through a Man created belief...sure it is done, but usually takes a long, long time.
ps: You are younger than I, so you have longer to work on this problem.

CHICAGO – Democrat Robin Kelly should have little trouble winning the special election to replace former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. – the district's been held by a Democrat since the early 1950s, and she sailed through the primary with outside help from one of the country's most influential mayors.
If today's contest goes as predicted, Illinois' newest congresswoman will have big shoes to fill: Jackson was a 17-year incumbent who served on the powerful House Appropriations Committee and brought home almost
$1 billion to the district. And the help she received in the primary from New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's super PAC, which pushes for gun control, means big expectations on a national scale.
Even the former state representative's supporters agree it'll be a challenge for her.
Ford Heights Mayor Charles Griffin, who also backed Jackson, said he's frustrated with Washington's partisan politics and with the monthslong absence of a congressman in the Chicago-area district that has large pockets of unemployment and poverty.
"He had some influence," Griffin said. "When a freshman person goes in dealing with guys who are well-grounded and unwilling to negotiate, nothing's going to transfer. The fact is that she is almost facing an insurmountable task."
Kelly will face Republican Paul McKinley, 54. The ex-con-turned community activist believes he has a "50-50" chance despite predictions from political experts and the district demographics.
Kelly, 56, won February's special primary in which gun control became the dominant issue, in part because Bloomberg's PAC spent more than $2 million on ads praising Kelly's support for an assault weapons ban and targeting opponent former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson. Her opponent, McKinley, won the GOP primary by less than two dozen votes in the largely urban and suburban district with GOP smidges in rural areas.
As the candidates hit the campaign trial, Jackson's legal troubles played out simultaneously. He pleaded guilty in February in federal court to lavishly misspending $750,000 in campaign funds.
Kelly's primary win all but assured she'd head to Washington, but that's when the pressure intensifies. The Matteson resident acknowledges she'll be last to get committee assignments and will have to play catch up.
But she said she's already a part of the national debate on guns. Her primary victory speech, where she issued a direct challenge to the National Rifle Association, earned praise from Bloomberg and Vice President Joe Biden. And President Barack Obama endorsed her earlier this month, nodding toward her anti-gun advocacy.
"I will have a voice in Congress as the debate is going on and as issues come to the floor," Kelly said. "I will attend everything I can attend."
Several of Illinois' new congressional members say they're already frustrated with the pace of Washington, and Democratic U.S. Reps. Tammy Duckworth and Brad Schneider said staying focused on a singular issue could be tricky.
Schneider, a Deerfield businessman, described his first few months as a "vertical learning curve" where he had to grasp topics with which he had zero any familiarity.
Duckworth — who ousted one-term tea party Rep. Joe Walsh in Chicago's suburbs, and was already familiar with Washington bureaucracy having served as a former assistant secretary at the Department of Veterans Affairs — said small things were difficult. When she wanted to set up constituent offices, she had to wait for technicians from Washington to come to the district.
Duckworth, who lives in Hoffman Estates, added that the pace of being in Congress is "surprisingly hectic."
Tuesday's winner also faces a challenge unique to the district — additional scrutiny on ethics.
The three previous congressmen left office under an ethical cloud. Until his resignation, Jackson remained under a House Ethics Committee investigation over ties to ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich. His predecessor, Mel Reynolds, left office in 1995 and was convicted of fraud and having sex with a minor. Before that, Gus Savage faced allegations of sexual misconduct with a Peace Corps worker while on a congressional visit overseas.
"There's a lot of hope (among voters) because she's had a pretty clean record so far," said Don Rose, a longtime political consultant in Chicago. "It'll be a while before she can become a leader but it's a matter of what she does."
Kelly isn't a stranger to parts of the district — her former legislative territory covered parts of the 2nd District — but she did have to reach out during the primary to new mayors and pastors, many of whom had strong relationships with Jackson. Among his pet projects was a third Chicago airport and he'd gained momentum on the proposal, which Kelly supports.
Griffin, who believes another airport would boost the area's economy and jobs, doubts it will ever come to fruition.
"I was kind of hopeful with the third airport would transpire, but it just hasn't happened. Now I'm less optimistic," he said.
Some of his mayoral colleagues, though, had hope for new leadership.
South Holland Village President Don De Graff, who supports Kelly, said he liked that she had Obama's backing and support from longtime congressmen with urban districts, including U.S. Reps. Bobby Rush and Danny Davis.
"We anticipate that all of those key relationships will be beneficial," he said.
Still, at least one person believes it's not in the bag for Kelly.
McKinley, who gained some notoriety for challenging Rahm Emanuel's mayoral candidacy in 2010 over residency claims, said he's the ideal candidate. The Chicago man — who doesn't advocate for gun control — has focused his campaign on how his integration back into society after serving nearly 20 years in prison for robbery and other charges has made him ready to help others.
"I'm an ex-offender trying to prevent a next offender," he said.

Car Review
2011 Nissan Murano: Used Car Review
The 2011 Nissan Murano displays styling, interior workmanship and power that place it in a league above rivals such as the Mazda CX-7 or Toyota Highlander. In fact, many owners consider the Murano to be on par with such high-end crossovers as the Acura RDX and Lexus RX350. The Murano's roomy cabin is more than adequate for four adults, though the rear cargo bay is somewhat small, and the upward bent of the rear quarter windows creates a rather noticeable blind spot.
The Murano's sleek styling and powerful V6 engine are two of its strongest selling points, along with its available all-wheel drive and long list of decadent luxury features. Sporty handling is another of the Murano's strengths, and it doesn't come at the expense of a smooth, comfortable ride. Nissan's continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) performs flawlessly and is one of the best CVTs on the market.
What We Like
Strong V6 engine; luxurious interior in SL and LE trims; smooth operating CVT; contemporary styling; smooth ride
What We Don't
Not terribly fuel efficient; no third-row seat option; 18- and 20-inch tires expensive to replace; no manual shift mode on the CVT; rear blind spot
Fuel Economy & Engine Specs
The 2011 Nissan Murano is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine, producing 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. There is only one transmission choice, a CVT. Fuel economy for the front-wheel-drive Murano is rated by the Environmental Protection Agency at 18 miles per gallon city/23 mpg hwy; the all-wheel-drive version attains the same 18 mpg city/23 mpg hwy rating.
Standard Features & Options
The Murano is available in four trim levels -- S, SV, SL and LE. Although the S trim is the entry-level model, it is by no means Spartan.
Standard equipment for the Murano S includes Intelligent Key keyless entry with push-button start, an AM/FM stereo with 6-disc CD changer and auxiliary input jack, tilt/telescopic steering column, 18-in wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control and power operations of the windows, mirrors and door locks. Standard safety features include Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with traction control, Brake Assist and front side and side curtain airbags.
The SV adds SV, a dual panel moonroof, power front seats (8-way driver's, 4-way passenger), automatic headlamps, 7-in LCD display screen, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, Bluetooth and a USB port for iPod integration.
The SL adds rain-sensing wipers, roof rails, security system, power return rear seat backs, power rear lift gate, heated outside mirrors, heated steering wheel, leather seats, heated front seats, fog lights and 11-speaker Bose audio system.
The luxurious LE brings 20-in wheels, power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, heated rear seats, HID headlights and interior wood trim.
Options for the Murano include all-wheel drive, rear-seat entertainment system and voice-activated navigation with 7-in touchscreen monitor, XM NavTraffic and NavWeather, 9.3-gigabyte hard-drive storage and Bluetooth streaming audio.
As the 2011 Nissan Murano holds better-than-average resale values, you may have to do some bargaining to get a good deal on a nice, low-mileage model. You can likely get a lower mileage or better optioned Mazda CX-7 or Ford Edge for the same money. To get an idea of the Murano's price range, we suggest using the used-car values at KBB.com. You can also search the AutoTrader Classifieds to see which models are for sale in your area.
There are currently no recalls for the 2011 Nissan Murano listed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Recall repairs are required by law even if the vehicle is out of warranty. Your dealer can check to see if the repairs were performed and, if not, will fix the car at no charge to you.
Safety Ratings & Warranties
The Murano boasts good scores in NHTSA crash tests, earning four out of five stars in the front-end and roof-strength crash test, and five stars in the side-impact test. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also gives the Murano its highest ratings in the offset front-end and side-impact crash tests but only a moderate rating in the roof-strength test.
The 2011 Murano entered service backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. If you purchase your Murano through Nissan's certified pre-owned (CPO) program, the vehicle not only goes through an extensive 150-point check, it comes with an extended factory warranty of seven years/100,000 miles from the original date the vehicle entered service, as well. Other advantages of the program include a free CARFAX report, 24-hour roadside assistance, rental car reimbursement and towing benefit and a 3-month free trial subscription to SiriusXM Satellite radio. To qualify for the Nissan CPO program, vehicles typically are no older than five years and must have less than 60,000 miles.
Other Cars to Consider
Mazda CX-7 -- The CX-7 has the same sporty attitude as the Murano but offers a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. The CX-7 costs less but doesn't offer as many luxury features or hold its value as well.
Ford Edge -- The Edge offers more horsepower and better fuel economy than the Murano, as well as many of the same high-end features. But some of the audio and infotainment systems can be finicky, and the Edge doesn't hold its value as well.
Toyota Highlander -- The Highlander can be equipped with a choice of 4- or 6-cylinder engines, offers a hybrid model and can accommodate seven passengers. Though not as sporty or luxurious as the Murano, the Highlander offers better resale and fuel economy figures.
AutoTrader's Advice
We think most people will be very happy with the front-wheel-drive SV trim. Those looking for a bit more luxury should aim for a SL, many of which have the optional navigation system onboard. We also think the smaller 18-in tire/wheel combo creates less noise and a smoother ride.

Five people -- including a 4-month-old boy -- died in Allentown's massive gas explosion and fire, authorities confirmed at a Thursday afternoon news conference.
And later Thursday, fire officials reported they found the fifth of the bodies in the rubble at 13th and Allen streets.
Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim declined to identify the first four bodies recovered, describing them only as a 79-year-old man, a 69-year-old woman, a 16-year-old girl and a 4-month-old baby.
The fifth body was found between 5 and 5:30 p.m. Thursday. It is believed to be that of Beatrice Hall, 74, of 544 N. 13th St., who was with her husband, William, 79, at 10:45 p.m. Wednesday when...

This summer, I took part in Google Summer of Code project as a student. I worked on distutils2 project implementing new commands and improving the existing ones. In poarticular, my tasks were:
- to implement a test command (similar to the one from setuptools/distribute
- implement command hooks
- port the upload_docs command
- enhance the check command
After that, I started working on the test command. The new command's API is a little bit different than the one you might know from setuptools/distribute: the options "test-suite" and "test-loader" got replaced with "suite" and "runner". You would use "suite" option in place of "test-suite", but setting the "runner" to a dotted path to a Python callable will cause the test command to invoke that callable in place of default unittest test runner. In absence of both options, the test command will invoke test discovery as implemented in unittest (Python 2.7, 3.2 and newer) or unittest2 (if installed, for older Python versions).
The next task was to implement command hooks. The command pre- and post-hooks are Python callables that accept the command instance (giving it access to all its options). You specify them in your setup.cfg file as the command's options. In addition to that, you have to specify a postfix for you hook, so that it wouldn't override hooks from other files:
pre-hook.my_postfix = path.to.hook
The improvements to the check command were arguably most neglected task in my project. I gathered the optional checks (originally only check for validity of ReStructuredText in package's description) under a single option --all, and implemented additional check: one that validates importability of the hooks.
Not all changes are upstream yet. The hooks and the upload_docs command are already in the central repo. The test command and check improvements are waiting for the merge. Tomorrow, I'm leaving for my summer kayak trip, but I'm looking forward to contributing more to distutils in the future.
Overall, I am very happy with the time I spent working on the project. Even in spite of some problems in my way, I enjoyed the experience of working with a team of extremely smart guys. The regular IRC meetings were instructive and enjoyable. I would also like to thank my mentor: Fred Drake, who offered all the help and feedback I needed.

Well, my original intention was not to have the Devil or God appearing in the strip at all, since... well, it's complicated. In fact I spent a considerable amount of time trying to think up of different names I could call "the Devil" and not actually explicitly use any of the obvious names (such as Satan, Bielzibub, Lucifer... etc). I gave up. Instead I'm just not going to have any characters in the comic mention him by name.
Of course, his appearance makes things more complicated, since the obviously "evil" person in the comic before he came along is Archangel, who is the substitute of God.

Nokia Releases 3D Printing Kit For Anyone To Print Their Own Phone Cases
from the smart-move dept
...we are going to release 3D templates, case specs, recommended materials and best practices—everything someone versed in 3D printing needs to print their own custom Lumia 820 case.It's still very early in the whole 3D printing world, so this may seem rather simple, but it's neat to see companies starting to figure out how to make use of these kinds of new technologies in a positive way, rather than ignoring them or (worse) actively fighting them. In fact, it's clear that Nokia is thinking beyond just this:
In the future, I envision wildly more modular and customizable phones. Perhaps in addition to our own beautifully-designed phones, we could sell some kind of phone template, and entrepreneurs the world over could build a local business on building phones precisely tailored to the needs of his or her local community. You want a waterproof, glow-in-the-dark phone with a bottle-opener and a solar charger? Someone can build it for you—or you can print it yourself!Again, small steps, but it's through these kinds of learning experiences that we often see something bigger emerge.
