Now there are quite a few ways to get a hold of these out of print vintage items but being an Etsian, I thought I would start there (on Etsy) and see what gems I can dig up......and boy oh boy there's a whole lot to be found! Many sellers either source patterns from yard sales ("boot sales"), have them handed down from family members or may even acquire them from an estate or auction. I personally prefer new uncut patterns just so I know that they are a complete set and I can better take care of them later on.
There was a strong focus on versatility during these times and accessorizing basic pieces so that the same outfit may be worn a few times a week without looking drab. You can even sew up your own entire weekly wardrobe from a single pattern set that often included a skirt, dress, top and jacket combinations. Multiple that by the various fabrics you can use and you're going to be a very stylish woman on a budget. These were the times when department store fashions were often a real investment (you sometimes paid off a dress in installments for goodness sake) so a 65cent pattern would have been a very economical everyday option.
With all said and done (now that we've composed ourselves after drooling over these patterns), here's a rough outline of my Vintage Wardrobe Project.
- 3-4 lady dresses (with neckline and sleeve variations)
- 1 fabulous coat
- 2 skirts for wiggle or swooshing
- 2-3 tailored tops to pair with skirts or even jeans
- 1 darling cape or caplet
Let me know what you'd be interested in seeing in this project!
Happy Crafting!

We are nearly complete reassembling our 2009 Yamaha XT250. The bike as delivered to us never quite ran right and the seller was anxious to get rid of it – he said he had cleaned the carb and gone through everything. When we got the bike it would run okay for a few minutes. Once warmed up, the engine start to stumble and bog under anything more than 1/4 throttle. It was cutting out so bad it sounded like it had a rev limiter at 3,000 rpm. However, all of the electrical tests checked out fine. The machine had very low miles and looked brand new. There were no indications of a mechanical problem. CYCLEPEDIA's experienced technician was confident it was a rich running condition that was causing the problem.
We cleaned the carb and discovered the previous owner had taken a drill to it – apparently he thought he was removing a brass plug to reveal the air screw but it turned out he drilled a whole through the carb heater base and damaged the carb in a way that was creating a rich running condition. We attempted to fill the drilled material and eliminate the carb heater but the same rich running condition persisted.
To confirm our damaged carb theory we swapped out the carburetor for a known good unit from our Kawasaki KL250 Super Sherpa. Low and behold the bike runs great. We checked with MR Cycles and a replacement carb is almost $300. There doesn't seem to be enough room to fit a flat slide carb and used carbs for this model are not widely available so it looks like we have to bite the bullet and purchase a new carb. At least we have diagnosed the problem and should have this bike running like new again. Take a moment to look before you drill your carb, the original owner of this bike was well meaning but it ended up costing him a lot of money in the end. If he had used a CYCLEPEDIA Online Service Manual this shiny new dual sport would still run correctly.

The Humane Society of the United States is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for abandoning a dog with a large tumor in Cameron Park, Calif.
The Case: On Friday, August 28 at approximately 3:20 p.m., El Dorado County Animal Services received a dog with an ulcerated tumor who had been left in a plastic crate and abandoned in a vacant lot in a residential area of Cameron Park. The dog was discovered near the 3500 block of Chelsea Road at approximately 2:00 p.m. by a neighbor who was walking her dog. The good Samaritan brought the dog to the shelter.
The dog is described as a tan, female Chihuahua wearing a red collar. She had a major tumor near her groin/thigh and was severely overheated, due to the 100-degree outdoor temperatures. The dog had to be humanely euthanized due to her suffering.
Animal Cruelty: Getting the serious attention of law enforcement, prosecutors and the community in cases involving allegations of cruelty to animals is an essential step in protecting the community. The connection between animal cruelty and human violence is well documented. Studies show a correlation between animal cruelty and all manner of other crimes, from narcotics and firearms violations to battery and sexual assault.
Captain Alexis Shaw of El Dorado County Animal Services said: "No animal needs to suffer needlessly as this one did. Abandoning an animal is a crime and the manner in which this animal was disposed of constitutes a felony crime. El Dorado County Animal Services is here to accept all animals if their owners are unable to care for them."
Eric Sakach, senior law enforcement specialist for the HSUS said: "This poor animal was locked in a crate and abandoned to suffer and die in the sweltering heat. Hopefully, someone saw something or knows who owned this dog and will do the right thing and come forward. The person or persons responsible need to be caught and brought to justice."
El Dorado County Animal Services is investigating the case of neglect and abandonment and is seeking the public's assistance in locating the person or persons responsible. Anyone who has information on a possible owner, someone who had a dog matching the description or who may have observed something suspicious in the area where the dog was discovered is asked to contact Captain Alexis Shaw at 530-621-7650 or email@example.com.
Resources: The HSUS Animal Cruelty Campaign raises public awareness and educates communities about the connection between animal cruelty and human violence while providing a variety of resources to law enforcement agencies, social work professionals, educators, legislators and families. The HSUS offers rewards in animal cruelty cases across the country and works to strengthen laws against animal cruelty.

Simple interaction. MacICT and I have started working with a teacher from Westport High. We are using LAMS to create interactive learning sequences that allow students to engage with their environment. The school has a wonderful rainforest that they want to share with the world. They already have a fantastic wiki (Westport Rainforest Wiki) that records the number and type of species of plants and animals in the rainforest.
In just a few weeks of playing with LAMS the teacher Graham has created a sequence that takes digital images into the rainforest to help students correctly classify plants. In the future we hope to work with this group on:
- Teachers creating LAMS sequences using multi and interactive media to teach students in the rainforest
- Engaging students in data analysis eg biodiversity in the field linked to our Local Ecostudy Project
- Students designing interactive narratives that build a story around a physical environment
- Using i-Apps to engage students in more effective collection of specimen data from their physical environment
How do you think we can use technology to engage students in interacting with different physical environments?

Because of this, the opportunities for employment for those who live here are considerable.
With its small town charm and scenic beauty, this is one many places the area that is idyllic for corporate events.

Last night I re-added GamerBoy to my friends on Myspace (it's possible I de-friended him about year ago for being overly cheeky… my, how times have changed!) And now he wants to, as the kids say, hang out. So immediately (and laughably) I am freaking out. Seriously. You don't even want to know.
This will be because I hate this part. You know, the part where I feel compelled to obsess over every single little thing I don't like about him, in an attempt to convince myself that any further contact would be a bad idea? Yah… Wait, I don't do that. (Yes I do.)
First -It's his name. I don't like it. I'm not actually going to tell you what it is (though if we start seeing more of each other I will probably have to think up a good fake name…), but let me just say that it's, well, not sexy.
Second – It's the ADD. He's very jumpy at times, and while that can be cute, I don't exactly need a guy who's going to be jumping all over me. I'm finicky, and just a little too tightly-wound… I need someone who can, shall we say, take it slow.
Third – He skateboards. Okay?
Fourth – He's, like, so California. He even has a tan. And says the word "dude"… a lot. (Yes, okay – I know I do it too, but I am being ironic!)
And fifth – I can just tell he's not… *sigh*… "The One."
But he does amuse me. And I do like seeing him.
Maybe it doesn't have to be this hard.
Maybe we can just hang out. Maybe I can just be clear. Maybe I can have a guy friend… who thinks I'm cute… and nearly has a fit every time I wear a skirt… Damnit. That's not going to work, is it? Unless I want to be like… a string-thing. (or would the fact that I'd be stringing him along make him the string thing?)
I don't know. It's possible I am just bored. And that is no good reason to start dating someone. Unless I really, really want to be a bitch. Which, incidentally, I don't.
Ugh. Life.
(Just kidding! I promise you I am not that cynical… anymore!)

Dinner in about 15 minutes? You bet. Because we all have those days when we're short on time -- or energy -- or perhaps we're busy planning for a big dinner tomorrow. Have your meal ready in minutes with these hearty ideas.
Rigatoni with mushrooms and pancetta: This pasta sauce has an old-fashioned, long-simmered taste, but takes less than 15 minutes to cook.
Clams with pine nuts and serrano ham: Rich flavor comes together in minutes with this dish. Plan to serve the clams with plenty of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. You can find the recipe below.
Total time: 15 minutes | Serves 8
Note: Adapted from El Suquet de L'Almirall in Barcelona.
1 1/2 cups best-quality extra virgin olive oil
2 small cloves garlic, sliced lengthwise
3/4 cup pine nuts
3 to 4 ounces serrano ham or prosciutto in one piece, finely diced
3 pounds small clams, such as cockles, Manilas or littlenecks, scrubbed
2 to 3 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
Crusty bread
1. In a wide earthenware cazuela, a very large (12- to 14-inch) heavy skillet or a wide casserole, heat the oil with the garlic over medium heat until tender and fragrant. Add the pine nuts and the ham and cook, stirring, until the nuts just begin to color, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the clams, raise the heat to medium-high, cover and cook until the clams open, about 5 to 9 minutes (depending on the size of the clams), shaking the pan occasionally. Discard any of the clams that don't open.
3. Serve directly from the cazuela or transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with plenty of crusty bread to mop up the sauce. (If you have oil and pine nuts left over, toss it with pasta the next day.)
Each serving with 1 tablespoon oil: 361 calories; 13 grams protein; 3 grams carbohydrates; 0 fiber; 34 grams fat; 5 grams saturated fat; 32 mg. cholesterol; 306 mg. sodium.

Intel Edison bites the dust – No more in IoT space
Has Intel finally thrown in the towel in the IoT space? Earlier this year, Intel announced that it will discontinue their IoT platforms namely, Galileo, Joule, and Edison. We wrote about Edison when it came out with the promise of really taking on the IoT space head on. However, it failed to create the momentum that was needed to take off. Alas, it never happened and Intel Edison bites the dust.
Raspberry Pi IoT devices have been imitated by others and numerous clones exist in the market. But many of these imitators do not seem to last long. Like Intel, they bite the dust when they lose momentum. We recently covered CHIP computer, which too is suffering from inability to build and ship their US$10 computer on a board to customers. Many such stories abound.
Techie by day, blogger by night. Love the outdoors, enjoy traveling and building new and interesting things. Follow me if you want to know something.
Can Intel's Edison jump-start Wearable Computing?
Intel Edison Micro (SD Sized) computer is different. Significantly different from its predecessors. And not just in size but in how it is being packaged together.
For one, it supports Linux out of the box and not Windows. It subtly points to the direction Intel is progressing towards slowly. A world without Windows.
Edison is powered by the next generation of Atom processors, called Quark. Which Intel boasts consumes a tenth the power of Atom processor and is only one-fifth the size of its predecessor.

of Video Arcade Games
(and other related things I've made pages about over the decades... :)
last updated March 20, 2019
I have owned literally hundreds
of machines since I started collecting in 1997, so i'm quite happy
with keeping only really a small selection - so I like to keep the rarity high and the numbers low!
Out Run - Sega 1986
Atari Europe - SPLASH - 1978
[Rare european license from Exidy, this came from the Duke Of Lancaster!
needs restoration]
Williams - The Predators Prototype - 1986
[Custom 4-person 4-screen compact cabinet I made for CAX 2017 to house the working PCB from Rav, you can watch a gameplay video here]
Atari Metal
Maniax Prototype Marquee
I usually post regularly to my FACEBOOK PAGE so pay it a visit and hit like to follow me for updates.
I sell a lot of stuff on eBay as well as in my sprawling webstore, both of which you should visit.
|Some interesting stuff comes through my workshop:
Used on a 500 series photo
type-setting machine from the late 70's. Groovy looking with lots
of special keys for all sorts of typesetting functions. Case is largely
empty, containing a Motorola M3100 monitor and the "Micro Switch
RI" keyboard only, there's no interface electronics, everything
goes out on one big cable bundle! 78 keyboard keys. Circa 1978
Lear Siegler
Lineup of Serial Terminals
|A pretty cool lineup of space-age looking dumb terminals came in for restoration, including CRT replacmeents, monitor overhauls, keyboard/logic errors and lower case modifications/upgrades. I ended up keeping one of these for use on my own vintage computers
3M Cantata 700
|I stumbled across this 'elevator music' box and was fascinated by its design and the ungodly huge tape cartridges that it uses. Click thei mage to see a short page i made on what i found out.
Check out my collection of original video arcade game Videos on YouTube!
of Interest :
|This is a pretty large set of pages covering technical Arcade information as well as information on test equipment, modifications to original hardware, contains DIP Switch settings and Pinouts for game that you can't find anywhere else on the net. Also included are game ROMs I have dumped and other pages i have created to help collectors with knowledge and modification fo their games!
A lot of people know me from this page as its a pretty comprehensive cross-reference of Atari part numbers, pcb photos and manuals and stuff. Its also how I keep track of my collection of old b/w stuff.
This is a page that I put together of some stuff in the arcade collecting scene that you don't see at ll often. It was put together a long, long time ago, but is still of interest as I haven't seen most of it since :)
Polyteknik POLY PLAY
I used to own this machine, the story of obtaining it took a number of years to bear fruit. Sadly I had to sell the machine eventually, but I documented the story and photos etc, its a good resource if you come across one of these.
I've also left this page up and running as people do contact me every now and then about it, but it was sold off quite a long time ago.
|I can claim credit for locating and organizing a deal to get hold of this machine, the only genuine pilot/prototype machine found in the wild in Europe.
|Tricky and confusing subject, but i've had a go at trying to define some things.
Knowledge is power! You can't fix anything without the right documentation, and i've listed the contents of what i have on these pages so i can keep track!
Jon is another arcade collector I've been visiting stateside for the past 10 years, check out his site for arcadey stuff and some really nerdy vintage Apple ][ software stuff!
I attended this with Jon who is linked to above, and put up my photos so people could have a taster of what its like there...
I helped out the family with cataloging the videogame inventory that was left after Bob sadly passed away, here are all the details from that time..
A really old set of pages basically showing some of the horrible conversions that you see in arcade collecting circles, its pretty shocking how bad some of them were! Not updated in a long, long time.
I got a chance to read and go through all the paperwork cabinets that came out of the Atari Ireland factory in Tipperary. Some of the folders I was able to scan. The whereabouts of the archive is currently unknown.
(link removed - will update eventually)
I travel an awful lot. I work abroad a lot.. This means I fly a lot... I'm a geek, so I keep track of it, its a way of keeping me sane so I can remember where I was and when..
|Black n white games are my thing, and i've been helping my pal on the east coast with his impressive b/w collection for decades now... so check out his site!
I like to collect up old Reel to Reel tapes i find in junk shops and flea markets, when i find them interesting enough, i put them on YouTube!
Some of the rarest things to collect are distributor test rigs. This page shows what have owned in the past and what I currently have, a good resource for comparisons.
|My grandfather certainly got around a bit during WW2, and there are so many untold stories of the people that fought in this conflict, this is my attempt at putting some information out there and doing some honour to him.
Here is a panoramic photo of the Retrokade workshop in about 2003, all but one seen here are now sold:
Here is a picture of Retrokade in about 2005 in the big new building:

Having happy clients is my primary goal.
Here is what some have to say:

"For those who took the time to read this you will not be disappointed! Mr. Worthington is a very dedicated professional who puts the needs of his clients before his own. I feel this is not a common attribute for all Ontario real-estate reps that I have meet in the last five years. Mr. Worthington worked very hard and provided endless details on the full process. The amount of effort and details was extensive compared to all the other four times I have bought or sold a house. Again if you're reading this I promise you Mr. Worthington is a dedicated professional who is honest and energetic. If you decide to utilise his services you will not be disappointed."
- Dale Troia (formerly Toronto - Glenfield/Jane Heights now Ottawa)
"I used David to sell my house from a word-of-mouth referral.
Peter Darmos had David sell his house and told me that David was a very good agent who had done an excellent job for him. Peter is an honest, church-going fellow so I believed what he had told me...and he was right. David is a very good agent. I would be more than happy to talk to future clients if they would like past clients as a reference."
- Bill Reed (formerly Toronto - Victoria Village)
"We would highly recommend David to our friends and family who are looking for the best agent out there. He went above and beyond our expectations. David is honest and reliable. The research he did prior to our purchase was extremely helpful and we value his opinion and expertise. He is precise and accurate in all details.
We also loved that he was always available for us. We definitely look forward to working with David again."
- The Priestly Family (Seguin Township, Parry Sound)
"David helped us navigate a new city while doing his best to get us in to a new apartment. He spent an alarming amount of time researching and walking us to the various listings. He is an incredibly honest and trustworthy agent that I would recommend to anyone."
- Erica & Jeff Martin (Toronto - Church-Yonge Corridor)
"Selling our house of 55 years with David was a stress free experience.
He is honest, reliable and gets the job done in a professional manner.
Our house was sold in a week and we got 110% of asking price.
Excellent results David.
We will surely recommend you to our friends."
- Gary Press (formerly Toronto - Wexford/Maryvale)
"You went out of your way…Thanks for everything!"
- Peter Darmos (formerly Toronto - Woodbine Corridor)
"In October 2011, we walked into an open house in our neighborhood. The thought of, one day we would like to own a place to call our own home. We met the "ever so cool" David Worthington. That was our lucky day.
We had developed a agent/buyer relationship, even though he was not officially assigned as our buyer agent, until we decided to make our first offer. This guy took time out to understand our needs and work with us towards achieving our goal.The rest is history.
We were guided into buying our first home in Canada, with the highest degree of professionalism one can expect from a real estate agent. David! you are simple the best, one in a million. We will not hesitate to recommend and show you off to all our friends and family members.
Thank you, David."
- Savin & Christine Burrell (Toronto - Rouge)
"It's so funny; I was never interested in moving two blocks up the street from my previous residence. I was looking for a change, a new neighborhood, a different street, a different shopping experience. Instead Dave showed me the one place I had no interest in looking at, and I fell in love with it! Our new home was nothing either of us dreamed of. I even think Dave was shocked that it looked exactly what was written on paper and better; a spacious 3 bedroom home with more room than we know what to do with. Walk in closets that should have a an intercom system installed, a laundry room that is actually a room and a balcony that can accommodate 5-6 comfortably.
- Monique and Kathy Hodge (Toronto - Wexford/Maryvale)
"David has all the qualities that I look for in a real estate agent. He knows the market, the neighborhoods, the properties and the buildings...and he knows me, in part because he's a great listener. So, he's able to match me to the right home quickly, saving me time and energy.
When I was searching for a home, David very early on pointed out the precise listing that was the right fit for me. I wasn't convinced so I looked at many other places and he patiently accommodated. In the end, he was right...and I'm in the place he predicted. I couldn't be happier."
- Larry Zolob (Toronto - Rosedale/Moore Park)
"We were first time home buyers and it was a daunting task getting married and buying a new home all in one year. David was so supportive and listened to all our wants and needs and found us the perfect home. David made home buying a fantastic experience. He is the best agent out there!!!!"
- Lisa & Michael Curtis (Toronto - Wexford)
"I was living in Vancouver, B.C. when economic circumstances forced me to sell my beloved house on Indian Road. It was a very emotional decision which made the process more difficult for David. These same economic circumstances made it impossible for me to travel back and forth frequently so David was required to act independently. I am not sure how things would have turned out if anyone other than David had been my real estate agent. He worked far and above the call of duty and I will be forever in his debt."
- Andrea Brandle (formerly Toronto - High Park, Vancouver, Malaga...currently Singapore)

"I found David's services to be like a breath of fresh air in the real estate business. I was looking to buy in the Scarborough area, had worked with a couple of agents that seemed to be more interested in making a sale then find us the home we were looking for. I met David at an open house he was hosting in the Scarborough area. He was very familiar with the area and gave me some great advise on selling my existing home and looking for a new one. It wasn't long before I engaged his services and we were on the prowl for a new home. David was extremely patient and supportive in finding us the right place in a good area. We gave him the parameters we were looking for and he scoured the market for options. It wasn't long before we narrowed it down to the home that was right for us and he helped us broker a good deal. I would have no hesitation in using David's services again and would recommend them to anyone."
- Ron White (Toronto - Morningside)

"David has been the exact real estate agent we needed when we moved from France to Toronto. As new immigrants, me and my partner, we were looking for a place to rent, furnished and located downtown. After very few and focused visits we found the right apartment. He understood very quickly our needs and realised a fast negotiation between two continents. Beside the business, David became a good and helpful friend. It was a pleasure to invite him to our wedding to show how he is part of our new Canadian family."
- Alessandro & Mirko (formerly Toronto - Bay Street Corridor)
"Like any good Catholic, I have a confession to make: David has been a friend for, well, let's just say years. As a good friend, I felt it my duty to enlist him as my real estate agent. I was filled with trepidation (OK, I am embellishing) and not sure what would await me.
Well, as it turns out there was no need at all to worry. Like the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, he kept me focused (no, Linda, it's a lovely house, but you do not want to be in a location your friends and family can't access); looked out for me as I stumbled in the dark as a first time home buyer (yes, Linda, you can hold firm and not counter offer); and guided me to a safe and happy home (yes, Linda, there is a Santa Claus and he answers to the name David Worthington).
Although I didn't know it at the time, he did a lot of behind the scenes work to ensure the home/neighbourhood was in reasonable shape (so there are no surprises) and that all the "i's" were dotted and "t's" crossed (so I didn't have the surprise of extra charges).
His personal values of honesty, humour and integrity shine through his professional life, and he can be counted on to look after his clients best interests. Clients will not always see the behind the scenes work he does (I didn't until after the fact) to make the buying/selling process smooth (like checking crime rates in various areas or phoning to see if an area has an issue with termites), nor being fairly modest will he necessarily tell you (unless he uncovers an issue of which you need to be aware – no secrets), but value-added services turned out to be a part of his genetic make-up.
I highly recommend enlisting his services if you value client-centred, honest, knowledgeable and hard working real estate agents."
- Linda Duerrschnabel (Toronto - Scarborough Village)

"David was great to work with as we looked for a home. Throughout the process he offered us valuable insight and great perspective based upon a real depth of experience. He clearly was knowledgeable of market trends, historical information, neighborhoods, individual listings, and effective strategies for successfully buying a home in such a dynamic marketplace. He made good use of our time by getting to know each of us individually and as a couple to match our occasionally divergent requirements with available listings well beyond the parameters provided in a MLS listing. David was patient, responsive, proactive, and aggressive. Although we knew he was handling multiple other clients, we always felt that we were his most important client because he seemed to be working on our behalf around the clock."
- Michael Britton & Sidney Mayorga (Toronto - Leslieville)
"We have worked with several different real estate agents in the past, and to us David Worthington is like the North Star. He shines brighter than all the other agents we have worked with. Buying a home is fun, exciting, frustrating and confusing; David shows you the way to finding the home that is perfect for you and your family."
- Linda & David Lamb (Ajax - Central)

Bosskey's interview with SP Balasubrahmanyam (SPB)
After a long time, I was glued to 105 minutes of a video on YouTube. It was Bosskey's interview with SP Balasubrahmanyam and to be honest, I stumbled on it very late (since it was released in May 2016) only after I heard some comments about how SPB referred to Santhosh Narayanan in a not-so-good manner because Santhosh did not use him for Kabali, 'as per tradition'. This unnecessary controversy plays out in the comments section of the 3rd part too. (There were some copyright claims from Saregama on the songs that SPB sings during the interview to make a point or showcase something. It is massively silly of Saregama to contest these instances as copyright claims! And because of this Bosskey's team has re-uploaded some parts of the video again, afresh.)
I did not find anything directly connecting Santhosh Narayanan in what SPB said – the only connection he makes is to 'a composer who gets things done from Australia' and because (supposedly – I don't know) Santhosh has some Australian connections, this allegation has caught people's imagination mainly because of Kabali.
SPB, fanned by Bosskey, say the same thing any 'veteran' composer or singer says these days, reminiscing about 'those days' and bringing up current day advancements in music and composing in a way that upsets them to some extent. I always, even in non-music related topics, used to assume that we will all be in the same boat, when we reach that age in our own lives and may not have the memory to remember that we're behaving just like that, like an old person living still in another time period.
So, barring that segment (that I thought was pretty much standard-issue and not worth wasting time on), there are so many things that make this long interview totally worth it. Some of the things that I loved (and noted down),
– Singer Mano's entry to singing because of SPB's break due to Indrudu Chandrudu and Anjali
– Aayiram nilave vaa and the way MGR waited for SPB to come and sing this song after a period of illness and the way he explained to him why he waited
– Ajith's (Telugu) debut, that came from a small recommendation from SPB
– That Ilayaraja had stocked Sathya's Valayosai as part of How To Name It? album and how Kamal Hassan insisted that he wanted it for his film
– SPB's interaction with a very shy A R Rahman during Roja, and later Rahman seeking SPB for Muthu's Oruvan oruvan, and the attitude of Rahman in extracting the best out of singers using only positive reinforcement and never anything negative
– SPB's interaction with R D Burman and some little nuggets on Pancham
– MSV's interaction with Rahman, as a singer, and MSV's humility (absolutely touching!) in explaining his experience with singing for Rahman and the way the song turned out
– On the lack of song situations in current day films – this is a very interesting point since directors find it unnatural to add song situations and as films get increasingly 'realistic'
– A very quick note on Bangalore's Rajesh Krishnan, who I recently noted that he sings just like a young SPB in 'Manmeedhu' from Joshua Sridhar's Parandhu Sella Vaa!
– Inspirations of composers – a broad note from SPB that every single composer gets inspired, and he explains that with his own 'Vannam konda' from Sigaram
Excellent watch, if you haven't seen it yet. It is in Tamil, of course.

A Market in the Woods
by Johnstone Metzger, Nathan Jones
A supplement for Dungeon World
Tags: Dungeon World, fantasy, supplement
The Monthly Monsters project is back with a third monster manual for Dungeon World!
Deep inside the Spritewood, hidden from the sight of civilized eyes, there lies a secret market, where monsters meet to trade their ill-gotten gains. Under this canopy, the angry dead return to life and the living change , unwilling, into beasts. But if you can reach the market safely, a brand new world will open to you. What is it you seek? Alchemical wonders, history's greatest mercenaries, or magic to challenge even gods themselves?
The only question left to ask is: what did you bring to trade?
A Market in the Woods includes 13 monster entries, illustrated in full colour, along with a host of variations, random tables, adventures, dangers and their grim portents, custom moves, items, locations, plot hooks, secrets, and more.

I need your advice please
hi guys
I started my diet on (6 May 2013), my weight was 92 kg , and my hight = 159 cm , now has lost 17 kg, but my belly fat not much affected by the loss of weight, I still suffer from belly fat,(my Face and,feet, shoulders just affected in the diet)
I run 4 kilometers every day , and I do stomach exercises,but no benefit.
another problem:since 2 weeks ago my weight is still steady despite the exercise and diet
What should I do in order to lose my belly fat ?
And how can I get rid of steady weight?
-----------------------Notice on My food--------------------
- No sugar, no bread, no rice, no Starches.
- I just Eat fresh vegetables, fruit.
- I eat fish , tuna, sardine (somedays )
Belly fat is the hardest to deal with, no doubt about it.
It will take time, and you'll need to drink a lot of water.
Try alternating your calories intake from day to day to see if it triggers weight change (weigh yourself daily when you wake up), and most importantly document what you are eating in detail so you can compare. Leave 4 hours apart between every protein intake i.e. chicken, tuna, fish....etc
Good luck!
thank you very much :)
but According to your expectations ..How much time to I can destroy the belly fat if my fatty waist circumference = 98 cm
notice :
A:run Daily between 2-4 km
B:no fat food
C:stomach exercises
It seems to me that you are not building lean muscle. You need protein and resistance training. It will speed up your metabolism and burn off the fat faster. I don't think you can set a time line though. If you are losing fat it will come off.
As Robingen said, there's no way to set a time line unless you going to get technical and measure your body fat.
You can use Ketostix sticks to measure the fat burning process on daily bases, except it wont be limited to belly fat only.
I would also advise doing more resistance training; i.e. stairs. If you can run 4 km daily, then push yourself harder and run 5 or 6 km.
Does the perspiration of body when running Leads to weight loss؟
Jump-Starting Your Metabolism.
Get enough sleep. Most adults need at least 7 hours of sleep every night to function properly.
Set aside time to relax. Even if it's only 15 minutes on your lunch break, try to find time to simply close your eyes, breathe deeply, and forget your worries.
Aim to take 10,000 steps a day.
Drink plenty of water.
Exercise in small bursts.
Now things are going so well ...I lost 1 kilo in a week Because I reduce the size of food

Attending college, working a full time job, and raising a family was a challenge. The outcome was very well worth It! I managed to graduate as an Honor student from Texas A&M with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. I am ready! Jourdanton is where I want to teach and look forward to an awesome year!
If you need to contact me, please don't hesitate to do so.

2 years ago, Teresa Rodriguez Williamson asked me, "What would you do if you had 6 months to live?" It got me thinking. What, if anything, would I do differently? I started an experiment in living and so began the blog.
My goal in creating this web TV series is to start a movement and to create a community of people who support and inspire each other in choosing and embracing life and all it has to offer! Each episode will feature a person who is truly living. That person could be 6-years-old or 101, president or cashier at a grocery store, and come from any background. No one is excluded from life!
Most of us have no idea when our time will come, so why wait? We can enjoy life now. We can pursue our dreams. We can LIVE for the present while also planning on the future.
I have learned so much from embarking on this adventure, but by far, the best part has been the people! The beautiful paradox of life is that we are all unique and yet my global travels have shown me that we also have a great deal in common. We all want to be happy. We all want to be loved. We all ultimately want peace. And in our final moments, we all want to look back on a life that was meaningful for us.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support! I would like to extend a special thank you to my dear friend, Vanessa Hellmann, and her creative genius for making this pitch video possible and to Jenny for the beautiful photo she took of Matt and Melissa that is featured in the pitch video. Please forward on this link to your community and get the word out! :)
Many heartfelt blessings to all!

Community engagement is the extent to which individuals take responsibility for addressing civic issues and improving the life of their community.
In this section, we highlight trends in 3 indicators: 1) charitable giving; 2) voter registration rates; and 3) voter turnout rates.
In all cases, comparisons to state statistics reflect the state excluding New York City.
Compared to statewide and national averages, charitable giving rates have been lower in the Mid-Hudson Valley. The region's voter registration rates have been steady but below the statewide rates. Registered voter turnout in the region was above statewide turnout in 2016.
Philanthropic Support
Average amounts of charitable giving are below the state's and the nation's.
In 2014, average charitable contributions in the Mid-Hudson Valley region ranged from approximately $2,700 in Ulster to $3,500 in Orange, below the statewide and national average of $4,500 and $5,700 respectively.
Individuals' average charitable giving was up 9% from approximately $3,100 in 2011, to just over $3,300 in 2014. This trend is consistent with increases at the state and national levels of 14% and 19% respectively over the same time period.
Civic Participation
The region's voter registration rates have remained steady, yet they are persistently lower than that of the state.
Between 2000 and 2016, the average voter registration rate was 80% for the Mid-Hudson region and 84% for the state. Of the region's voting-age residents, 84% were registered in 2016, compared to 86% of the state overall.
Voter registration rates vary somewhat across the region. Ulster County's registration rate has been equal to or greater than the statewide rate in twelve of the past seventeen years. In 2016, Ulster County (86%) had the highest registration rate of the three counties.
Similar to state trends, voter registration in the region increased 4 percentage points to 84% in 2016, leading up to the presidential election. In years where there were local races only, regional voter registration rates consistently dipped 2 to 4 percentage points.
Registered voter turnout rates were slightly lower than the statewide rate in 2016.
Although voter turnout in Ulster was on par with statewide turnout, Dutchess and Orange have remained below state levels since 2000. In the 2016 presidential election the voter turnout in the region was 1 point lower than the state.

We've all been in a crowded pack of people and suddenly fallen victim to a mystery fart crop duster. One minute you're talking to your friend and the next, you're gasping for air and playing detective. Was it the fat guy in front of you or the suspicious senior citizen on your right?
Kip Givens, Fart Crop Dusting Spokesperson hopes to discourage this type of behavior by creating awareness about this disgusting phenomena on Cinco de Mayo.
"We want to encourage everyone to enjoy delicious Mexican food and have a great time this Cinco de Mayo. What we want to avoid is the unnecessary crop dusting that often happens at crowded bars, theaters, shopping malls and other congested areas," Givens said.
"Our goal is to see crowds of people having a good time while keeping unwanted flatulence out of the equation. We're hoping our "Whoever Smelt It Dealt It" billboards will help us spread the word in addition to our aggressive undercover agents who will thrust themselves into the busiest crowds in an attempt to out guilty crop dusting individuals," Givens added.
The association itself acknowledges that this will be no easy task.
For the farter, it's the perfect crime. Extremely hard to prove and very easy to blame on someone else. A quick wave in front of your nose and a look of disgust might as well be the equivalent of a passed polygraph test.
So why do people crop dust [see also Jet Wash]? Is someone angry and looking to seek revenge, even if it puts innocent people at risk? Was it an accident? Maybe they didn't think it would smell, only to deeply regret their decision seconds later. Do people randomly gravitate to the nucleus of a crowd, crop dust, and escape undetected just for the rush?
Can this be avoided? Let's say you're attending a seminar and the leader announces that there will be a five minute break. Should they add a quick line to prevent this from happening? "We're going to take our break now, so we'll see everyone back in five minutes. And as a courtesy, please no crop dusting on your way out of the room."
If you happen to notice someone crop dusting this Cinco De Mayo, the proper protocol is to yell, "Crop Duster!" and make a citizens arrest until a member from Given's organization can arrive on the scene to enforce their law.

#718 Birdseye Maple Burl Winged Bowl $199.00 SOLD
This gorgeous winged bowl was made from a big leaf maple burl. It is covered in birdseye figure. One reason to make winged bowls is not wanting to discard the rest of a beautiful burl. The bowl is thicker than the winged top so it won't tip over. These bowls are fun but scary to make. Those thornlike growths on the outside of the burl are as sharp as tacks and will slice you if you accidentally bump into the spinning bowl.
The bowl section is 7″ in diameter and 2 1/2″ tall. The whole piece is 13″ across the widest point.

Trend Spotting – Banana Republic goes 'Mad' for 60s Mod
Posted on February 27 2013
Banana Republic took over The Grove on Tuesday, February 26th in L.A. to launch its third Mad Men inspired capsule collection –60s style. Collaborating with the show's award winning costume designer Janie Bryant, BR took an official leap into the mod era of the 1960s. The collection features bold colors and prints as well as stand out silhouettes that the mod era is known for. Fronting the campaign and on hand to help guests get mod-ified was super model Coco Rocha, who mentioned that her favorite part of bringing the 60s into our modern world is the excitement of inspiring people to dress up again.
When asked about her favorite pieces from the collection, the self-described "lazy model" (when it comes to dressing up only of course) who has stomped the runway for every high end designer including the likes of Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton, Christian Lacroix and Emmanuel Ungaro mentioned that she loved the appeal of the mod shirt dress and the striped knit dress which allowed her to transition easily from a simple and chic daytime look to a sexy nighttime look.
Guests at the mod pod were also given the opportunity to create their own mod-meets-modern look using pieces from the collection, while receiving beauty makeovers reflective of the capsule's aesthetic. The best part? Your favorite look was on the house.
The capsule collection will be available at select Banana Republic retail locations worldwide and online beginning February 27, 2013.

The confetti has dropped, the trophies have been presented, the celebrations have quieted and the M.O.P award has been given. March Madness, the Big Dance, the NCAA men's basketball tournament is concluded. Louisville defeated Michigan in one of the best finals seen in several years. Luke Hancock, a reserve player for the Louisville Cardinals, was awarded the Most Outstanding Player in the finals. In the final game he scored 22 points, was 5 of 6 from the field and 5 for 5 beyond the arc. He is the first non-starter in tournament history to win this award. There is one more award that Luke should have received, The Most Outstanding Prayer.
On March 31, Kevin Ware, an outstanding player for Louisville, came down awkwardly after attempting a jump shot during in the Midwest Regional's game. He experienced a compound fracture of his leg that placed everyone who saw it in instant shock. Luke Hancock's response was to go to his friend's side and pray with him. When asked later what he told Kevin, he said simply that "I told him I loved him." Kevin's response to his friend's actions was to become calm and at peace. He then instructed his coach and other teammates to go out and win the game. Kevin Ware's surgery was completed in time for him to be on the sidelines with his teammates to root them on through the Final 4 in Atlanta. When the nets were cut down, the goal was lowered, and Kevin cut the final strand.
Philippians 4:5-7 5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (NKJV)
Paul instructed the Philippians to respond to anxiety with the usage of prayer and supplication. He wanted their requests to be made with thanksgiving to God. Then, here comes the kicker, he promised that the peace that makes no sense will guard their hearts and minds. The incident on March 31 created extreme anxiety in everyone that was close to Kevin. Luke Hancock did not have to think about what to do because he had trained for just this moment. He already knew where to take not only his anxieties but also those of his injured friend and teammates. He did not produce some Jedi mind trick or give Kevin some power of positive thinking speech; he prayed with him and he loved him. The supernatural peace that Kevin experienced spread to his other teammates and family members. Yes, there is one more award for Luke Hancock and that is the Most Outstanding Prayer. I mentioned that Luke had trained for this occasion. His father is struggling with a serious life threatening illness. His family has learned to live by faith in God and through an active prayer life.
We can all learn from Luke Hancock. How do you respond to anxiety or crisis? Do you look to self reliance or casting your cares upon Him? Have you been practicing walking in faith and constant prayer? Have you practiced loving those around you that have fallen? I counsel individuals on a daily basis that have loved ones trapped in sexual sin. They feel powerless in affecting change regarding their rebellious loved one. I think Luke Hancock just gave a great model for how to help our sexually fallen loved ones. Love and pray for them and when they experience hurt from their sexual sin then pray with them. Some athletes experience broken bones and continue to play through their pain. At some point the pain increases and they have to see a doctor, who through the assistance of an x-ray tells them their bone is broken. Such is the case with people in rebellion through sexual sin. They don't know they are broken and need the Great Physician. If you are the loved one of this person, then pray that God will show them the need for His healing. You can be that Most Outstanding Prayer person but it takes practice.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, (NKJV)

Train ScenesEveryone so appreciates the pictures of train models. I can understand this when I look at the work that goes into these layouts. These photos are from the convention in Portland OR a few years ago. The boat house is wonderful, isn't it? This was in a model competition rather than on a layout.
When I revisit these models through pictures, I become aware of the composition of the models. There are all the details that make up the scene - like the birds on the wire framing the little building. To me, it gives the image a little humour. In the welding scene, the welding action comes alive in the tiny blue lights. It gives this scene motion and immediacy. The boathouse, with all its supplies out front tells a story of the many activities involved in maintaining boats.
There seems to be to be a nostalgia in these scenes. They are of times past when things were mechanical so were tangible - and so life back then seems simpler.

...gather together in support and fellowship
Coatdyke Congregational Church is a group of ordinary people who help each other understand what it means to follow Jesus. It is a Church where you can come and belong. A place where where the Bible is taught, where we worship God together, where we pray together. A place where you can be part of a community, where people care for one another, where we share life and laughter. Whether you are local to Airdrie or Coatbridge or are just visiting we want you to know that there is a warm welcome waiting for you here.
We are a family of believers who:
For those who follow the Congregational Way, each local church is a gathered community of people who share together in Christian faith, in Christian living and in Christian mission. The Congregational Federation in Scotland is a group of 35 churches firmly rooted in Congregationalism.
The church body belong to and share a faith in God and in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. We meet not only to worship and to pray but also to plan and organise the life of our church. The church meeting, held quarterly, is a fundamental part of our church life. Church business matters are discussed in a spirit of worship and prayer and we seek the will of God for us as a church. With the guidance of the Spirit we believe God then empowers us to act on what we decide.
Specific tasks are often delegated to particular people. We have a team of Deacons to help in the leadership of the Church and to offer spiritual guidance to our congregation. Our Minister exercises a preaching and pastoral ministry as well as leadership of the Church. The Church Secretary is more than a 'secretarial post', it carries with it an element of spiritual leadership too.
First, we believe passionately that the Congregational Way has much to contribute to the Church of today and to the world of today. Our emphasis on the gathering together of a community of Christian believers in one local place captures the yearning people have today for community and a sense of belonging. We meet to worship God in the presence of Christ with the guidance of the Holy Spirit without the constraints of Churchian authority. This is a wonderfully exciting vision to share with people in the 21st century.
Second, we believe passionately that Christian unity must not be identified with uniformity of structure, organisation and theological statement. True unity affirms difference and rejoices in God-given diversity. This unity in diversity is the kind of unity we want to work for, the kind of unity we rejoice in.

Three themes of professionalism: Medical Teacher 2004;26: 696-702[CrossRef][ISI][Medline]
Medical educators have focused a great deal of attention on professionalism in recent years without having a clear definition of the term. Researchers in Nijmegen attempted to define the term by reviewing and analysing the literature. They identified 90 elements of professionalism and described three main types of professionalism: interpersonal, public, and intrapersonal. They conclude that professionalism is a multidimensional concept, and they say that it is context dependentýÿin daily practice, doctors in one specialty will place more emphasis on some elements of professionalism than others.
Professional doctors are reflective and act ethically: Clinical Teacher 2004;1: 69-73
An article in a different journal offers a more precise definition of the mature medical professional: "a physician who is reflective and who acts ethically." It proposes that professionalism is the product of attainment (positive influences) and attrition (adverse effects of the environment) during training, and the author outlines measures to encourage the learning of professionalism.
How to predict professional behavior: Medical Education 2005;39: 75-82
Predicting the future professional behaviour of medical students is no easy task. Surprisingly, skills in communication and moral reasoning have not yet been correlated with future professional behaviour. Researchers in the United States have identified two observable measures that predict future professionalism: conscientious behaviour; and humility in self assessment in the preclinical years. Conscientious behaviour was measured by compliance with immunisation and course evaluation, and students who underestimated their own performance were considered to be reflecting humility.
Teaching may change attitudes toward disability: Medical Education 2005;39: 122-6, 176-83[CrossRef][ISI][Medline]
Attitudes towards disability are pertinent to an exploration of professionalism, but attitudes can be difficult to evaluate and it is not clear if they change as a result of formal teaching. Before and after a four day course on disability, medical students in Bristol were asked to write down two words that came to mind when they heard the word "disability." Before the course the students predominantly associated disability with negative words, but the short course seemed to change these associations.

Rainbow tie dye sweater, vintage horse t shirt, and floral bike shorts: this is one rad looking outfit. These pics are from April 28th when I was on my way to physical therapy. I don't leave my house often, so when I do, I like to look extra fun and colorful.
I tie dyed the sweater myself, it's a thrifted Betsey Johnson. The sweater has tiny silver threads that are highlighted with the rainbow tones. I previewed a close up of this bohemian sweater in my recent Positive Energy post. As soon as I am able, I will be creating more dyed knits for sale. There are still some available in my Etsy shop.
I like to take selfies while riding in the car. I have to sit in the back seat with my leg outstretched because I can't bend it enough to sit in the front seat. I don't see all selfies as vain. When I am having a hard day, dealing with pain and frustration, I like to look back at photos of myself feeling happy and strong.
Outfit details:
Tie Dye Sweater: Bionic Unicorn
Vintage Horse T Shirt: Cool Clear Water
Bike Shorts: Forever 21 (I have since decided not to shop there due to poor labor practices)
Legwarmers: Target
Buffalo Platform Sneakers (no longer available): Solestruck
The Enchanted Rock Garden is only a few miles away from my physical therapy clinic, so each week I get to pick out a new crystal. (They don't do business online, otherwise I would link you.) This week I selected a celestite orb for it's pain relief properties. I meditate on the crystal and channel it's energy through my body when I am experiencing extreme pain or having difficulty with a new therapy excercise. I learned that celestite, aka celestine, is from Madagascar. It seems I am drawn to many crystals, plants, and animals from Madagascar. Perhaps I was there in a past life. As a lemur.
I started reading Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett (love it) and became interested in the word "wyrd". The image above is an illustration of wyrd. I like the following definition quite a bit:
"This is my wyrd, woven from the threads I have provided by my past thoughts and actions; I myself have designed the unfolding pattern of my life."
