Picture is slightly blurry after printing but the colour quality is great and the size of the mug is slightly larger than expected, which is good. The price is also very affordable taking into account of quality and deliver time. It was delivered only 2 days after it was ordered and packaging was amazing. Boxes with a styrofoam holder were provided and looked really beautiful. Overall, amazing buy. Would totally recommend to others 100%.

I ordered a mug for my friend's birthday present. I received it in good condition and it was quick delivery.
Fast delivery, mug was wrapped safely and it looks lovely. The colour of the mug is very near to what I have chosen. Recommend to provide more choices of mug sizes & shapes. The box wrapping looks moderate so could be improved in terms of design and material (like plastic).

Fast delivery and very safe. Lots of bubble wrapped. Received within 6 working days even though it was during cyber sale. Nice colour mug, the reason of 4/5 star is because the image printed is a little blurry even without stretching the image.

Help…I'm Gaining Weight!
Why are the numbers on your scale climbing?
That is a valid and often frustrating question. And the answer isn't always sweet and simple.
"Any change in your life circumstances can produce changes in eating and exercise, which leads to weight gain," stated Edward Abramson, Ph.D., professor emeritus of psychology at California State University, author of Emotional Eating.
So why has your weight increased? And, more importantly, what can you do about it?
1. Life's Fat Traps
A little addressed fact about weight gain is that everyone gains weight for different reasons. So often we hear about one-size-fits-all weight loss solutions that take little or no consideration of how the extra weight piled up in the first place. To experience true weight loss it is important to understand why you gained it in the first place.
Think back to the time in your life when your weight was just right. Were you in your teens? Your twenties? Or maybe your thirties? Picture yourself as you were at your ideal weight. Now when did things change? Was it a gradual addition of pounds that accumulated over a span of multiple years? Or did you gain it all at once? Check out the following weight gain triggers and determine which one is responsible for your plight.
- College: The college years are some of the easiest for gaining weight. In fact, a recent study by Cornell University found that on average, college freshman gain about 0.5 pounds a week – almost 11 times more than the average weight gain among 17-and 18-year olds and almost 20 times more than the average weight gain among American adults.
- Marriage: There's nothing like holy matrimony to encourage a barrage of calories to overtake your diet. Late night comfort snacks are always more enjoyable when you have someone to share them with—and who better than the person who pledged to stick by your side through sickness or health?
- Pregnancy: Talk about a great time to gain weight! And we're not just talking about women here—most men admit that they gained 'sympathy' pounds right along with their wife. Hormonal changes along with strong encouragement from everyone you know to indulge in anything their heart desires leave most pregnant women with a feeling of entitlement when it comes to food.
- Career: Though you may not realize it, your career choice plays a major hand in your weight. Those who go from an active lifestyle to spending 8 hours a day behind a desk and another 2 hours commuting almost universally gain weight. Conversely, people who spend their 8 hours in constant motion find weight loss a natural byproduct of the job.
2. New Habits
Close your eyes and go back to the fat trap that triggered your weight gain. What changed in your lifestyle? To help sort things out, I've broken things down into two specific behavioral categories.
- Eating Habits: Did your eating pattern change at this time in your life? If your weight gain occurred in college then maybe you went from eating 3 square meals to an all-you-can-eat buffet style cafeteria. Or if marriage was your weight gain trigger, then maybe you went from eating small meals to fattening comfort food. Pregnancy brings on the perfect environment for a change in eating habits. You go from eating normally, to eating 'for two', to munching on your baby's snacks right along with him! Your job can also dictate your eating schedule. Long hours and early meetings may cause you to grab a donut or chips from the vending machine.
- Activity Level: The second category that leads to weight gain is your activity level. Simply put, what kind of exercise were you doing before your life changing event and how does it compare to your current exercise regime? Chances are good that you were doing more exercise before your weight gain began—which means that you are doing less exercise today! Go ahead, think back to the exercises or physical activities that you used to do and compare them to your schedule today.
3. Your Transformation
You've figured out which fat trap in your life led to weight gain, and then narrowed down the exact behaviors that changed as a result, so this naturally leads us to a solution.
It's time to make a change.
Call or email a fitness professioanl today to get started on a fitness program that will make you immune to all of life's fat traps.
Once you start working with a fitness professional, those numbers on your scale will quickly change direction.
CrossFit Inc Global Branding Manager Talks with Black Fitness Today Ahead of Manion-WOD to Honor Fallen Hero
On April 29th, CrossFit gyms across the country will recognize the sacrifice of 1stLT Travis Manion and complete the Manion-Workout of the Day (WOD) to benefit Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) veteran initiatives such as TMF veteran expeditions, veteran-empowerment programs, and scholarships.
Read our interview with CrossFit Global Branding Manager, Jimi Letchford, and TMF President and Sister of Travis Manion, Ryan Manion.
Who was 1stLT Travis Manion?
Ryan: Travis was my best friend, and younger brother by 15 months. Even though I was the older sibling, I looked up to Travis in many ways because he always set the example. Travis was a high character person even from a young age, and when he saw something wrong, he would stand up. He was an all-league standout in wrestling, football and lacrosse, a member of five championship teams, and an All-American wrestler. Travis was best known as a motivating and popular figure to his classmates. This combination of leadership, athleticism, and academic achievement opened the door to his appointment to the United States Naval Academy.
After graduating from USNA, he decided to follow in our father's footsteps and was awarded a commission into the United States Marine Corps. After finishing at the top of his class at The Basic School in Quantico, VA, Travis was assigned to 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, I Marine Expeditionary Force, with whom he deployed to Iraq for his first tour of duty. On April 29, 2007 during his second tour of duty in Iraq Travis, his fellow Marines and Iraqi Army counterparts were ambushed. Leading the counterattack against the enemy forces, Travis was fatally wounded by an enemy sniper while aiding and drawing fire away from his wounded teammates. Travis Manion paid the ultimate sacrifice that day, but his selfless actions allowed every member of his patrol to survive.
How does CrossFit serve as a vehicle for honoring heroes like 1stLT Travis Manion, who paid the ultimate sacrifice?
Jimi: Every day, millions of people engage in CrossFit workouts around the world. Our Workouts of the Day (aka WODs) are constantly varied, (relatively) high intensity, functional movement challenges that are intended to elicit physical and mental responses like no other workout regimen. The CrossFit program may not be for everyone, but it is for anyone.
Our Hero WODs are a different breed. They're intended to take you to your limit. It's up to the athlete to decide whether they'll push past this limit. During this process, we honor the Hero(es) in which the workout was named. The men and women we honor through these WODs have amazing stories of character and bravery, and knowing about their legacy pushes us to go even further than we thought possible.
CrossFit has closely aligned its core values with that of the military. Why might CrossFit be something veterans want to give a try?
Jimi: CrossFit has a very tight-knit community, and a great sense of camaraderie among participants. When veterans join a CrossFit gym, they often find that camaraderie very similar to what they experience while in service to our Country. The idea that you belong to something bigger than yourself can often be lost while transitioning out of the military to civilian life. Like the military, there's also a competitive nature to CrossFit. That friendly competition is something many veterans continue to look for in the next chapter of their life, and CrossFit is a great way to fill that void.
"If Not Me, Then Who…" is a question that has come to shape 1stLT Manion's legacy. How is TMF and CrossFit answering this question?
Ryan: "If Not Me, Then Who…" isn't actually a question, it's a mantra that Travis lived by every day, and we're inspiring future generations to put that mantra into action within their own lives. Just before Travis left for his second deployment to Iraq, he attended a football game with my husband Dave, and while they were leaving the stadium, Dave said to Travis "How about I push you down the steps so you break your ankle, and you won't have to go back?" Travis looked at Dave very serious, and simply replied "If Not Me, Then Who…" He went on to explain that if he didn't go back, someone less prepared would have to go in his place. This is the way Travis approached everything in his life, even from an early age. Those words have grown into a national movement that is inspiring hundreds of thousands of people to be of service to their own communities, and to be part of something bigger than themselves.
Jimi: Travis was as true a friend as you could ever find. He always looked out for others, and often times would even thank me for pushing him to work harder. He was also a fierce competitor, and would never cut corners. His mantra of "If Not Me, Then Who…" really does represent how selfless Travis was. To me, Travis is representative of all the other Heroes that our Nation, and CrossFit community, have lost. So, I'd like to tell anyone that will be honoring Travis (or whoever else they'll be honoring this weekend) to do so with the utmost integrity to the workout standards. Remember that those we honor through our Hero WODs paid the ultimate sacrifice in their line of duty. It is now our duty to never forget them. "If Not Me, Then Who…"
How does CrossFit motivate its members to collectively complete intense WODs sometimes named in honor of fallen military and first responders whom the members have no personal connection?
Jimi: The people that walk into our CrossFit boxes are people that recognize that only hard work will achieve health and wellness. CrossFitters don't believe that there is a 'magic pill' for fitness. It turns out that this psychographic also tends to be very altruistic and humble. As a CrossFit community, all we have to do is tell the story of the fallen Hero, how it may relate to the workout, and the rest just happens. For example, the "Manion" Hero WOD is extremely leg intensive. We know from our relationship with Travis that he always had the strongest legs of anyone on our team. So, Travis' workout consists of a 400 meter run and 29 back squats (135lbs), done over 7 rounds. The numbers are somewhat poetic; Travis was killed 4/29/07.
How can people exemplify Travis' character and sacrifice beyond the four walls of a CrossFit box where many join together once a year to complete a WOD honoring Travis' legacy?
Ryan: Get involved in your own community. Look for your passion and a purpose, and wake up with determination to make a difference in the world every day, no matter how small. Live by "If Not Me, Then Who…" and look for those opportunities that present themselves each and every day that you can be the best version of yourself, and take advantage of them.
What communities does TMF serve?
Ryan: We currently have offices in 8 cities across the country, which include: Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, New York, Philadelphia, Raleigh, San Diego, Seattle, and Washington D.C. However our impact and opportunities for involvement are nationwide.
How does the Travis Manion Foundation ensure that children of fallen heroes are not left behind?
We work closely with families of the fallen, and specifically organize service expeditions for survivors. These expeditions allow family members of fallen military to spend time with others who can relate to their journey, while providing them an opportunity to carry on their loved one's legacy by being of service to a community in need. We host 8-10 domestic or international expedition each year, and one such expedition is specifically for teens who have lost a parent or sibling in service to our country. These young adults learn that while their loved one may be gone, they can honor their memory and carry on their legacy through the actions they take each and every day.
Where can people find information on joining or volunteering with TMF?
Ryan: Anyone can join the mission by visiting travismanion.org. We have volunteer and engagement opportunities throughout the year, which includes our Operation Legacy service projects and the 9/11 Heroes Run 5K series.
What do you want people to know most about Travis?
Ryan: Travis always challenged himself to be the best person he could, and he did that by focusing on being big in the little things. Because of that, he was prepared when bigger challenges arose. The legacy that Travis left behind, and for that matter all our fallen heroes, is one that we all have a responsibility to carry on. The way that we do that is by look towards the character they lived with, and challenging ourselves to think about how we can be the best version of ourselves – because "If Not Me, Then Who…"
What is Irradiation and How Can It Maximize Your Lifts?
A couple weeks ago I attended the Functional Range Conditioning (FRC) seminar, which focuses on training mobility. The course was a solid reminder and in some cases a perception-altering experience about human anatomy, physiology and functional movement. I'll break down some of the components, theories and principles of FRC at a later time but for now, I want to focus on tension, a key principle in the FRC system. However, for the purpose of this post, I'll focus on how tension can increase general strength and performance.
How can tension take your lifts next level?
Tension – not to be confused with the general bodybuilding idea of "time under tension," which usually is referring to keep a prime mover under tension, such as the pectoral during bench press. Irradiation is rather the isometric contraction of the non-prime movers and the prime mover along with the necessary contraction to produce movement or not; it depends on the situation.
Tension is a common word for "irradiation," is often overlooked during training. Irradiation comes from Sherrington's Law of Irradiation which states:
A muscle working hard recruits the neighboring muscles, and if they are already part of the action, it amplifies their strength. The neural impulses emitted by the contracting muscle reach other muscles and 'turn them on' just as an electric current starts a motor."
Simply put, the more motor units recruited to produce movement or reduce movement, the better neural activation to help you control the weight or load.
Example: Think about a time when you had to push a car or lift a heavy object.
How did you prepare for the push or pull of the car or whatever that heavy object was?
Did you only concentrate on using your legs (prime mover)?
Or did you create tension throughout multiple muscle groups, possibly every muscle group (irradiation)?
More than likely you used irradiation. Why? Because your primal instinct kicked in and you realized to move that car or heavy object, it would take a lot of effort (neural drive) and you called on your central nervous system to recruit all the potential strength you possessed to apply maximal force.
Incorporate irradiation in your training
If done properly, irradiation can yield some quick gains to your lifts and increase strength simply by increasing neural muscular efficiency – the ability for the central nervous system to recruit the muscle required for your desired movement when called upon. The greater efficiency you have in recruiting motor units to produce movement or resist movement, the greater your force production or strength/power application will be.
How to perform irradiation
It seems easy but easy is not simple and simple is not easy. With that said, create tension throughout the entire body. For example, if you're performing standing biceps curls, you create an isometric contraction throughout your entire body; feet (ground contact), quads, glutes, abdominal complex, forearms, scapulae retracted and of course tension and controlled movement in/with the biceps.
Although the primary focus in the above example is to perform a biceps curl, the irradiation effort thorough out the body is also training the nervous system to produce activation in all muscle groups more efficiently.

When people think about the Premier League, it's often brilliant players or magical goals which immediately spring to mind.
But, for every success story in the English top flight, there are signings, moments and decisions which didn't work out quite so well.
And, it's those bad signings that we're going to be focusing on today, as GiveMeSport remembers the big-money buys which failed to meet the hype over time at their new home.
We've unsurprisingly put our focus on five of the division's biggest teams - mainly because they are the ones who spend vast sums of money and expect excellence in return.
It doesn't always work out like that though, as the likes of Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson have found out on a number of occasions in the past.
And so, without further ado, we present five of the greatest big-money failures in Premier League history. Don't forget to have our say, and let us know who you think should have been on the list...

Courtesy of The Craft and Folk Art Museum: L.A. Skin & Ink, is an exhibition that explores the unique role that Los Angeles played in the tattoo renaissance that took place in the United States. The exhibition will move through the 60-year transformation of tattooing from its traditional base of military and outlaw cultures into an art form of great distinction and adoption into contemporary culture. The exhibition will be in view from September 29, 2012 through January 6, 2013.
Historically, tattooing was a tradition-bound art form originally associated with a small number of shops located near military bases, ports, or with individuals who clandestinely created homemade tattoo apparatuses to ink fellow inmates or fellow gang member in prison. Skills were acquired by apprenticeship and through the repetitive application of key images such as hearts, daggers, and names on the skin of clients. Tattoo clients chose the image from drawings displayed on a wall and had little input on the designs they applied.
Beginning in the 1950s, however, tattooing began to evolve beyond it social and iconographic roots as tattoo artists started refining and cultivating their techniques and artistry. Dramatic shifts in the tattooing environment, technology, and tools began attracting a much broader clientele, including many more females, older adults, and more affluent and artistically sophisticated collectors. Tattoo artists also began nurturing their skills beyond the tattoo shop and applying it to the visual arts.
L.A.'s location on the Pacific Rim made technical and artistic developments in Asian and Pacific styles of tattooing accessible. Don Ed Hardy was one of the first Westerners to go to Japan to learn and master traditional Japanese tattooing technique. The introduction of the Japanese aesthetic to an American audience was one of the most prominent innovations in late-20th century American tattoo culture. Furthermore, Hardy's protégé Leo Zulueta, a Filipino-American artist, raised the profile of "tribal" tattoo styles after being encouraged by Hardy to study indigenous Bornean and South Pacific tattoo designs. Zulueta's reinvention of these traditional designs came to complement the intersection of tattoo with punk aesthetic.
A particularly outstanding tattoo style that emerged in L.A. in the late 1970s has been the Black and Grey or fine line technique, a single-needle method that was developed to resemble prison tattoos. A highly-realistic form of tattooing, the fine line attributes of Black and Grey resulted in unprecedented detail, depth, and shadow. Much of the iconography related to fine line draws from Chicano cultural sources, such as Mayan and Aztec symbology, Catholicism, and references to Chicano socio-political sentiments. Photographer Edgar Hoill's documentation will illustrate the work of artists Jack Rudy and Freddy Negrete, who pioneered this culturally significant style.
The importance of lineage is still revered in the contemporary tattooing community, as the acquisition of skill and practice operates on a basis of apprenticeship. Contemporary figures such as Zulu studied with Leo Zulueta, who in turn studied with Hardy. These artists, in turn, have fostered current movements and innovations that testify to tattooing's growing position as a respected and accepted visual art form. Many of today's tattoo artists, such as Shawn Barber and Carlos Torres, have developed a reputation for painting and drawing as much as for tattooing.
Through "flash" (tattoo drawings on paper and board), photographs, tattoo equipment, and related art and ephemera, L.A. Skin & Ink
will feature several noteworthy artists and the stylistic movements that have helped define the significant role of Los Angeles in bridging tattoo with fine art. Participating artists include: Bert Grimm, Bob Shaw, Don Ed Hardy, Cliff Raven, Jill Jordan, Leo Zulueta, Jack Rudy, Charlie Cartwright, Edgar Hoill, Estevan Oriol, Mr. Cartoon, Zulu, Sergio Sanchez, Carlos Torres, Shawn Barber, Camila Rocha, Sean Cheetham, and more.
Supported in part by the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA), The Antonia and Vladimir Kulaev Heritage Fund, and the Pasadena Art Alliance. Additional support provided by Sullen Art Collective.

Domainex Researchers Identify Small-Molecule Inhibitors of TBK1/IKKepsilon Affecting IL-17 Signaling
Product News Nov 05, 2012
Domainex Ltd. has developed a number of chemical series with potent and selective activity against two closely-related kinases TBK1 and IKKepsilon.
IL-17 mediated signaling is known to induce the expression of cytokines and other effectors that can cause a variety of immunological diseases such as psoriasis and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Domainex researchers are now the first to report that small-molecule inhibitors of TBK1/IKKepsilon are able to affect IL-17 signaling.
These results suggest that the Domainex inhibitors may have utility in a wide range of clinically-important diseases that have great unmet medical needs.
Recent clinical studies reported in The New England Journal of Medicine by Lilly and Amgen have shown that neutralizing anti-IL-17 monoclonal antibodies can have a major impact on psoriasis (Leonardi et al. 2012 and Papp et al. 2012 respectively).
The demonstration by Domainex that small-molecule drugs targeting IKKepsilon can inhibit IL-17 signaling indicates that these compounds have great clinical potential in this disease and other important settings.
Domainex has developed three series of drug-like compounds, each series having inhibitors with high potency and selectivity against other kinases.
The lead compounds have good metabolic properties and the Company is now driving these compounds forwards towards a clinical candidate.
Domainex's Research Director, Trevor Perrior, said: "Domainex, in collaboration with The Institute of Cancer Research, has previously shown that its inhibitors of TBK1/IKKepsilon have activity against a variety of cancer cell-lines. Domainex has also demonstrated that its inhibitors are very potent blockers of interferon-beta production in immune cells, showing the compounds may have utility in diseases such as lupus. The latest finding that our TBK1/IKKepsilon inhibitors can also inhibit IL-17 signaling suggests that the compounds are also of potential use for treatment of other major diseases such as psoriasis and COPD. Domainex has recently obtained funding from the government-backed Biomedical Catalyst programme to explore the use of its inhibitors of IKKepsilon in COPD."
Eddy Littler, CEO of Domainex, said: "The latest results showing the activity of Domainex's TBK1/IKKepsilon inhibitors against IL-17 signaling reinforces the fact that this project is of very high interest to pharma. Indeed Domainex is already in discussion with a number of potential partners with a view to them helping us to progress the programme to the clinic, and fully exploit its enormous potential. We are also grateful for the Biomedical Catalyst award that will enable us to extend our work to COPD, and help us fully exploit our intellectual property on inhibitors of TBK1 and IKKepsilon".

Arched-back babies in plastic seats, toddlers who are mini Houdinis in their strollers, and 2-year-olds who climb into danger from their cribs make child care ever more nerve-racking.
Arched-back babies in plastic seats, toddlers who are mini Houdinis in their strollers, and 2-year-olds who climb into danger from their cribs make child care ever more nerve-racking.
To reduce safety risks, use baby gear according to the directions, be selective about hand-me-downs and pay attention to recalls. Don't be scared; just be aware. For example, do you have an outdated car seat or a vintage crib with drop-down sides? They're unsafe.
When choosing baby gear, pay special attention to:
Strollers. Consumers face recurring safety incidents with strollers. One involves the opening between the grab bar or tray and the seat bottom, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says.
In some older strollers, the opening between the grab bar or tray and the seat bottom is less than 8 inches. This can be a big hazard for babies up to 1 year old. When a baby is improperly harnessed, his body can slide down through the opening, but his head and neck can get trapped.
Many companies have recalled older strollers because of this risk. Some manufacturers offer a free repair kit or a replacement piece that prevents a child from slipping through the opening. For a list of companies supplying this fix for their recalled strollers, go to www.cpsc.gov/onsafety/category/safety-blogs/childrens-products.
Cribs. The federal government has strengthened rules about crib construction. They are required to have stronger slats, sturdier hardware, tougher testing and no more drop sides that create a gap between the crib and the mattress. Make sure there are no gaps larger than two fingers between the sides of the crib and the mattress.
Proper assembly of cribs is crucial, says the CPSC, which has recalled millions of cribs. Follow the instructions provided and make sure that every part is installed correctly. If you're not sure, call the manufacturer for assistance.
Do not use cribs older than 10 years or broken or modified cribs. Infants can strangle if their bodies pass through gaps between loose components or broken slats while their heads remain entrapped. Check here to see if your crib has been recalled: cpsc.gov/cgi-bin/cribs.aspx.
Play yards. Set up play yards, formerly called playpens, according to manufacturers' directions. Use only the mattress pad provided with the play yard; do not add extra padding. More than 2,100 play-yard incidents, including 60 deaths and 170 injuries, were reported to the CPSC between November 2007 and December 2011.
Baby seats: More than 4 million neon-colored Bumbo baby seats sold between August 2003 and August 2012 have been recalled, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. More than 75 babies have fallen and suffered head injuries after leaning, rocking or arching their backs while in the seats.
Stop using the baby seat, Bumbo International says, until you have ordered and installed a restraint belt available at this website: recall.bumbousa.com. You'll also get a sticker that warns: Do not use the seat on an elevated surface.
Other safety tips regarding baby gear:
If you have a video or audio baby monitor, be sure the cords are away from your child's crib. That also goes for cords on blinds and shades, which can be a strangling hazard. Register new products with the manufacturer. Don't buy car seats at yard sales. You never know their history — they could have been in a car crash and no longer be effective. Also, with a new one you get the necessary instructions about proper installation. The CPSC has an app to check for recalls before buying a secondhand product.
Skip the baby powder. Sprinkling near your little one's face can cause breathing problems for baby, the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests.

Author Notes: This Burgundian dish, adapted from Anne Willan, combines whole garlic cloves simmered with tomatoes and mellowed with Cognac. I've taught it many times in a class featuring Chicken Dishes from France.
We use thighs at our house, because we prefer the dark meat, but you can use breasts if you'd rather. Please leave the meat on the bone, though. There's so much more flavor that way. - ChefJune —ChefJune
Food52 Review: The thrill of flambé is not to be missed! Chef June's recipe calls for flambéing the chicken and the 20 cloves of garlic, which gives the tomato sauce a spiced richness and depth, but without heat. The sauce is so remarkable -- I had to restrain myself from eating it as soup. I made this recipe twice: the first time brining the chicken, the second not. The brined chicken was superior in taste and tenderness. My guests loved this dish, and it is worth repeating many, many times. I can also see that, as I get more practiced, it will be fun to flambe in front of guests. Cheers to Chef June! - SKK —SKK

- Transfer chicken to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm. Add stock to skillet and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Strain through a sieve, pressing on the garlic with the back of a spoon to extract all the purée. Stir sauce over low heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups.
- Gradually whisk in remaining tablespoon butter. Adjust seasoning. Pour sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with parsley. Garnish with fresh thyme.
- Serve with a rice pilau made with currants and green onions.

Hi Quilt Friends!
My name is Mattie Rhoades Haines, and I am the Founder, President and Creative Director of Quiltsmart, Inc. I taught quilting for years and was always frustrated with fussy patterns and sewing methods that were tedious. It is with that feeling that Quiltsmart was born.
One day, I was looking at a Double Wedding Ring quilt on the quilt rack over the couch, and started to see squares instead of rings. Soon after, we were printing arcs on fusible interfacing! Next there was a printing machine, then 2, and then a loading dock! It has been a very fun road.
Many other patterns are also now printed on interfacing. Some of our best sellers are Lone Star, Double Wedding Ring, and Mondo Bag. Some of our newest are Clam Shell and Dresden Plate. Quiltsmarts goal is to make quilting a pure joy, leaving behind the tedious work of the past, and keeping the classic look of the quilts we all love. A benefit of making quilting easier using printed interfacing: it ends up being super accurate! Quilting these traditionally difficult quilts like Lone Star, Mariner's Compass, or Dahlia becomes pretty easy - easy enough for beginners to shine at the quilt guild show-and-tell!
My sweetie, Steve Haines and I run the business from beautiful Bend, Oregon where it is sunny over 300 days a year! We print interfacing, make new patterns, and travel to teach and spread the pure Joy of quilting.
We encourage and support quilting teachers and shops who offer classes in our techniques.
With Joy,

After releasing the comic two months late and spoiling its ending in other books, DC will charge an extra dollar for the Forever Evil conclusion.
Source: Bleeding Cool
The comics world was shocked today when Bleeding Cool rumormonger Rich Johnston revealed that Forever Evil #7, the long-awaited, already spoiled conclusion to the super-mega-crossover event, would see a one dollar price hike from its solicited price, going from $3.99 to $4.99 (or $5.99 for the digital combo pack). DC Comics? Engage in price gouging to squeeze an extra buck out of fans who are pretty much locked into buying the last issue of the book at this point? How could this happen?!
The Outhouse asked an old Native American witch doctor to explain it:
In case you're still having trouble, let's hear it from Jake the Snake:
Do you get the picture now? It's not shocking that DC would gouge the price on the last issue of this series at the last minute. They've made it clear for the last several years that they hold their readers in contempt. DC considers having to deal with their customers to be the worst part of the comic book business. Why wouldn't they make you pay more to read the conclusion to a book you already know the ending of two months late?

by oogy » Thu Apr 24, 2014 2:34 pmDidn't Marvel do this with their last event?
I can't even remember what it was called now.
Or how about the next few issues of Hawkeye that are now $3.99 despite being solicited at $2.99.
by GOSD » Thu Apr 24, 2014 2:44 pm
Yep. Marvel does the same shit.
It is more fun to pick on DC though.

Are we paying late fees for Aja?
by HNutz » Thu Apr 24, 2014 4:14 pmIs the page count increased? That would be a little odd, since we're waiting on the art, but they could have gotten fill-ins...
Regardless, I could see them charging more and adding more pages.
It still kinda sucks, but at least there would be a (flimsy) reason for it.
by TimH » Sat Apr 26, 2014 4:16 pmHeh.
Page count increase.
"Hot dang! When we proofread the script six months ago, we overlooked four pages! Who was the dope who printed it out double-sided?"
Johns: You don't understand. It's the depth of the content. We needed four more pages to draw out Owlman's hidden depths and all the other subplots that vanished beneath the 20-page fight scenes and got pushed to issues 6 and 7.
Let me guess, DC's two new weekly series will both be written by JM Stracynski and drawn by David Finch...
by RoosterHardwood » Sun Apr 27, 2014 1:32 am
As long as they involve Superman taking a long stroll for no adequately explored reason, I'll be there.
by Chessack » Sun Apr 27, 2014 6:07 am
To be fair, this actually can happen. At least, it's happened to me.
I've been working on making my own comic book. I do the script, and then create the pictures using 3D modeling programs like DAZ Studio and Blender. Yeah, it's not perfect, but anyway...
I've now completed two scripts. Both scripts had outlined plots that I intended to into make the "standard" 21-page stories. Both times, the script got away from me. I had too much dialogue to fit into those pages (unless I had whole panels just full of dialogue) and most importantly, the crosstalk, when I started shooting pictures, did not look right in a single panel. So I had to re-adjust the script and the layouts both times, and came up with 24 and 26 pages. So it CAN happen, and I can understand how, in a commercial comic (which mine is NOT), where pages are being physically printed (again NOT true for me), they could have to jack up the price to make the cost back up.
However, we all know that this is not the case with Forever Evil. My extra six pages were 5-6 panels each and full of story (extra backstory, in fact). When Johns and Co. add 4 or 5 more pages, it's two double-page splashes and a single page splash, just more action shots... which probably could have been done in a single 3-panel page. So yeah... not buying the whole "we had too much story" angle from these guys.
by TimH » Sun Apr 27, 2014 10:08 pm
Yeah, Forever Evil... not that beefy...
Geoff Johns: Oh lordy! I overran my page count but can't decide which random fight scene to remove. The six page scene of repartee between Atomica and Evil Flash, or the six page scene of repartee between Atomica, Evil Flash, and Captain Cold? Or the three issue repartee between Black Adam and Power Ring?
Oh crap! I completely forgot that Superwoman is pregnant with Ultraman's child. Aw hell. Gotta add another scene with Evil Flash... maybe a flash back to when he was just learning to be evil.
But, seriously, Chessak, on the script revising, you just have to ask yourself tough questions and prune out what absolutely doesn't need to be there. If there's a lot of cross talk, pick the best cross talk, the talk that moves the story or reveals a crucial character trait, and chop the rest. Editing is the hardest task for a writer. You have to be merciless with yourself. A lot of stuff is more redundant than you realize. Especially back story. 90% of backstory--the sort the provides interesting trivia not otherwise told--is the hardest for the writer to detect, but the most superfluous.
If you aren't planning to be the artist, don't waste time modeling the panels with 3D modeling software--unless you can do it really fast. For best results, just sketch with stick figures that you can lay down fast. If you aren't an artist, a real-artist is going to know better how to layout the scenes anyway. But, besides, you can do a lot of perfectly acceptable layouts with sketchy stick figures.
Even better, teach yourself to draw and do the whole thing yourself. It'll take forever, but you'll get better. I mean, 3D modeling software--that takes time, right? Just dive in and quickly sketch a panel on a note card. Then scan the notecard onto your computer. You can then lay out the text around the stick figures, if that is your goal.

I teach technical writing, so I know all about revising, and particularly pruning. The story that went 4 pages over? That's after I completely cut TWO scenes and pruned down two more.
But see, it's my own electronic comic, and it costs me nothing whatsoever to have a longer issue. I tried to do what I thought worked in the scene to reveal character.
Part of the problem with the first issue was just my lack of sense of how many words can fit into the word balloons in particular panels. I hadn't really done this before (all my previous writing was in plain prose). So it is a learning experience.
I'm the artist, but I can't draw, especially the human figure, so that is why I use 3D modeling programs.
I will never be able to draw well enough to satisfy myself... at least not in a reasonable time frame. With the 3D software, I was able to produce usable renders (not perfect, by any means, especially in terms of lighting, but usable). My profile picture of Supergirl is an example of what I can do at this point. Although far from perfect, to me this is good enough to tell the story I want to tell (for the most part).
I'm still learning, but I enjoy the control that comes from doing both the story and the art. And since there is no good reason to cleave to exactly 21 pages (just because "that's what DC and Marvel do" is really not), inflating the story a couple of pages to get it where I want it to go is fine with me.
Additionally at this point, I don't have a real sense from a plot exactly how many pages it will take to convey the story yet. That will come with time, I think. For instance, screenwriters know roughly how many pages of script = how many minutes of film. What's the conversion rate for pages of script to pages of comic? I dunno yet... and it will depend on my scripting style. So again, it's a learning experience.
My main point was, I can see how the script could have gotten away from Johns a little. How his plot might have called for some events he thought he could do in 21 pages, and it took 27. I can sympathize. It's the finale, so he doesn't want to short-change it. But I don't think that's true, because Johns is known for writing meaningless splash-page scenes that don't really even have anything particular to do with the story ("I won't stop until Batman is dead!" for example), but are just there for shock-and-awe. So I predict that the extra pages are just shock-and-awe double page spreads, not anything NEEDED in the comic.

The Obama administration faces a difficult test as it prepares a plan for restoring America's banking system to health: The cost estimates keep rising even as public mood is skeptical of anything with the word "bailout" attached.
This political bind, at a time when President Obama is stretching to win support for a large stimulus package, could affect the shape of his comprehensive plan for ailing banks.
The stakes for the economy are high. No fix for the financial system will be simple or cheap, but a plan that fails to work could prolong the recession. And some experts worry that efforts to keep costs low in the short run could end up making taxpayers foot a higher bill down the road.
"The cost of any kind of government action is going to be huge whatever way you slice it," says Desmond Lachman, a finance expert at the conservative American Enterprise Institute in Washington. "The cost will be all the greater if they don't do the right things."
Already, about $350 billion has been allocated by the US Treasury to rescue financial firms.
Most Americans oppose more aid
In a Diageo/Hotline poll late last month, 56 percent of Americans said they thought Congress was making a bad move by granting authority for Mr. Obama to spend another $350 billion – the second half of that financial superfund created by Congress last fall. Fewer than one-third thought it was a good idea.
Obama, while not yet calling for additional funds, appeared to open the door to that possibility in an interview earlier this week.
"We can expect that we're going to have to do more to shore up the financial system," he told NBC's "Today" show. But he rejected one rumor of the potential cost, saying, "we're not going to be spending $4 trillion worth of taxpayer money."
The International Monetary Fund has recently boosted its estimate of credit losses tied to mortgage loans and other US debts at $2.2 trillion, up from $1.4 trillion last fall – which represented a jump from an earlier estimate of $1 trillion.
One key reason the numbers have risen is the feedback between credit markets and the economy. A worsening economy has raised the likelihood of loans going into default. The resulting turmoil in credit markets, in turn, contributed to a sharp drop in consumer spending and business confidence – deepening the recession last fall.
The ongoing risk for the economy also creates a political risk that Obama has acknowledged.
"I do have confidence that we're going to be able to get it right," and restore trust in credit markets, he said in the NBC interview. But "I will be held accountable. I've got four years."
New plan expected next week
Credit-market experts say Obama's best opportunity to fix the banking system is right now, as a new president with a clean slate. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said the plan will be "comprehensive." Details are expected next week, perhaps as soon as Monday.
The goal is to help revive healthy credit markets. In the process, lending may not increase, but the key is, "You don't want the lending to collapse," says Simon Johnson, an economist at the MIT Sloan School of Management in Cambridge, Mass.
He puts the likely cost for taxpayers at about $1 trillion – to cover some of the losses and to put in the new capital needed to revive the system. That number reflects the tab after accounting for gains that the government may reap by taking an equity position in banks or receiving fees from them.
But how much gets spent, and when, depends on the way any new rescue efforts are structured.
Obama's options
The options for the Obama team fall into three main categories, and according to public statements and news reports, the package is likely to be a mixture of these measures rather than an either-or approach:
•Option 1 is for regulators to nationalize. A bank judged to be insolvent would be closed, then reopened under federal control. The most troubled assets could be broken out and liquidated, while a healthy remaining bank could eventually be privatized again.
This has the advantage of simplicity, and possibly the lowest cost to taxpayers.
But opponents say the government is ill-equipped to make this Plan A, especially since it might involve nationalizing a handful of the largest US banks.
•Option 2 is to buy the troubled assets to clean up bank books. A key challenge here is how to set a price that's fair to banks and taxpayers – and lots of money would be needed up front.
Mr. Johnson reckons that going wholly down this road might require $3 trillion to $4 trillion, although the net cost to taxpayers in the end might be close to $1 trillion.
The administration might use this approach for some assets that banks are keen to sell.
•Option 3 is to leave the bad assets where they are but create a government insurance guarantee that limits the potential losses that banks will take. This has already been done, partially, in deals with Citigroup and Bank of America.
By some accounts, this approach will play a key role for assets that, although generating some income from borrowers, would fetch very low prices if sold now.
The key for taxpayers here would be the price for such insurance, and the question is whether it would succeed in restoring confidence in the economy. Johnson says this rescue strategy is the most complicated and opaque of the three. But it would allow the government to keep initial costs down. Losses would come later.
"You're putting up less money on the front end," says Joshua Rosner, a banking expert at Graham Fisher in New York. But, he predicts, "The back end is going to be a lot more costly."

I honestly dont even understand what that means? I was number 1 in my class first semester of law school, 2nd semester I have all A's, while still waiting on a grade. Even if it is a C, I would still be in top 5% range. What the @#!* are you talking about academic probation? Seriously.
Well, the grade won't be a C anyways, its my legal writing class and I was above median on every single assignment. I expect an A-/B+ but a B is inside the realm of possibility. I received CALI's in torts, contracts, con law, civil procedure. i don't understand your bunnies attitude and treating me like I am an idiot. If you didn't want to help with the thread, why reply at all? And do the math, I have a 3.94 now and am #1 in my class. A "C" actually would not take me out of the top 5% with almost any other numbers you enter into the equation, especially with a 2.9 curve. Did you just get bad grades all through law school or something?
While you two haters were so confusing, weird, and just plain odd that I am not even sure what you were trying to say to me...the grade turned out to be an A leaving my GPA a 3.96 for the 1l year.

London: the ghost of Ashes drubbing continues to haunt English cricket officials as England's batting coach Graham Gooch too joined the list of sacked officials. England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said on Thursday that he has been sacked with immediate effect, the, as the fallout from the Ashes drubbing continued.
The former England captain joined the team as a consultant batting coach in late 2009 before taking up a fulltime role in early 2012.
His departure was announced two weeks after Peter Moores returned as England coach in place of Andy Flower, who resigned following the whitewash Down Under in January.
"After discussions with (captain) Alastair Cook, he informed me that he was in favour of change," Gooch, 60, said in an ECB statement.
"Although this was sad news, I respect his, and new coach Peter Moores, right to implement this change of direction."
A veteran of 118 tests in which he scored 8900 runs, Gooch said Cook was still the best man to lead England despite presiding over the 5-0 Ashes rout.
"In my opinion Alastair is the right man to captain England, he commands respect and will always put his body on the line for his country," Gooch said.
"He will face many challenges and have many more tough decisions to make before his journey ends.
"Over the last decade or so he has been the ultimate professional to work with and it has been an honour to see him develop."
ECB managing director Paul Downton thanked Gooch for being an "outstanding coach".
"Graham's record as a player speaks for itself but as a coach his ability to mentor and develop players has helped England achieve a huge amount in recent years," he said.
"I have no doubt that we will continue to see his influence on this current generation of England players and future generations can learn a lot from his passion and dedication to the game."
Cook, who likes Gooch hails from Essex, has often said in the past that the former batting coach was his mentor.
