Texas Tech fires 6 assistants; no head coach named
LUBBOCK , Texas (AP) -- Texas Tech has fired six assistant men's basketball coaches but retained interim head coach Chris Walker.
Dismissed were assistants Jeremy Cox and Bubba Jennings, Craig Wells and Jim Shaw in operations, and Josh Mills and Derrick Jasper in video production.
Athletic department spokesman Blayne Beal on Saturday confirmed the firings, which happened earlier in the day.
Beal says there is no timetable for athletic director Kirby Hocutt to pick a permanent head coach.
Neither Walker nor Hocutt returned calls seeking comment.
Hocutt has said Walker will be included in the search.
Walker was an assistant during Billy Gillispie's lone season at Texas Tech last year. This year, he led the Red Raiders to an 11-20 overall record and 3-15 in Big 12 play.

From a personal standpoint, this whole "saga" of the development made me seriously question if I wanted to be involved in the industry and I gave serious thought to cutting my losses and not being involved in the project. At my Army Discharge medical this week, they noted I now have high blood pressure. Some things in life just aren't worth worrying about. I've been getting hammered by a massive amount with requests for information about DayZ release, interviews and my reactions to this and stuff and such - but for my own sanity I retreated and have kept to myself. Right now I'm just at home doing bits and pieces on the DayZ development. The rest of the DayZ team is doing the same. I realize that I went back on my word about releasing an update, but went back into my shell for a bit last week, and I'll come out when the dust is all settled.

The rug is overall very nice for the price. It is able to withstand frequent vacuuming and 2 dogs that love it. I was slightly disappointed that the sizing was a bit off but not a real problem for me. As for the shade variation, I actually purchased it because others stated that it was off white which is what I was looking for. I also purchased a thick pad which I would highly recommend.
This rug was ordered for a nursery, and it feels great underfoot, either with shoes or barefooted. I was happy to see the color and plushness lived up to the picture and description, and that the workmanship is finished on all edges and the underside. I would recommend this product and would purchase again.
I bought this rug in white and wow so amazing! It's very soft, thick,fluffy and beautiful! NO SHEDDING AT ALL!!! The white color is very accurate. It brightens my family room! I will be purchasing another one in cream for my living room! Very satisfied with this purchase! thank you Overstock!
The rug is beautiful, but it's not as luxurious and thick as others I have seen. However, it is also much less expensive than other shag rugs elsewhere. The smell is terrible, but am hoping that it goes away soon. Also, the edges are very "raw" and look old and shattered. The rug is on the thin side and is definitely not white--more of an antique/ivory white. I bought it for my daughter's nursery and am satifsfied vis a vis the price I paid.
this rug would have gotten 5 stars if the color displayed online were the color of the actual rug. i ordered the glacier blue, which appears to be a light blue/silver tone in the picture. this rug is more teal than anything. not at all as expected. this is the 3rd time i have received a rug from overstock where this was the case. the first 2 i sent back. this one i am keeping and trying to make it work simply because i am tired of losing out on the cost of return shipping. again-the rug itself is great and a bargain, but the unexpected color is a true bummer.
Great looking rug, but very hard and expensive to clean
Though the "gold" I ordered is actually a mixture of beige tones (light/dark). It even says so on the packaging ("light/dark beige") whereas another tag says "goldenrod." I wasn't exactly pleased with that part of it. But if you like shag, I mean, it's a shag rug.
There is nothing soft and plush about this rug. It is wiry and uncomfortable. My dog and teen like is though. I would return it if i could figure out how to pack it back up and bring it to Post Office. I would not recommend this rug. Big disappointment.
very pleased with this rug. Nice and plush
When I opened the carpet, I was worried that it seemed a rather flat shag. However, that reaction changed over the next few days. The fibers forgot they had been crushed in a roll and fluffed up on their own to the shag I expected. My family and friends have been complementary about it. Great price, too.

The premier resource for tracing your British and Irish
Help & ResourcesHelp with collectionsBritish Origins collectionsAbout London Apprenticeship Abstracts
About London Apprenticeship Abstracts 1442-1850
About the collection
Records of the Livery Companies of London are one of the greatest archival treasures of the world. Dating from the early medieval period to the present, they provide a mass of information on innumerable subjects. For the family historian, they can provide an immense amount of genealogical and biographical details on members.
The Abstracts provide information from the apprenticeship records of a number of the livery companies selected because the records generally give good genealogical detail, principally, the name, parish and occupation of the apprentice's father. For a given livery company, the abstracts will generally end about 1800 or later, depending on the coverage of the manuscript volume containing that year. In some cases records cease before 1800. Over 165,000 of these record abstracts are contained in the database, with over half a million names indexed: apprentices, their parent, and masters. In nearly every case, the father (more rarely the mother) of the apprentice is given, with their place of residence - which can be anywhere in the British Isles or overseas. Less than 30% of the "London" apprentices actually came from the London area, though the proportion varies significantly between the different companies. For example, the Blacksmiths' and Fishmongers' apprentices include over 33% from London and Middlesex, compared to just under 31% for the Butchers, and under 21% for the Grocers. It should be borne in mind that an apprentice's master does not necessarily follow the trade indicated by the company name. While it may be tempting to think that the prestige of a company might affect the number of apprentices coming from outside the Metropolitan area, this does not seem to be the case, for the Grocers' is the second of the "Great Twelve" livery companies while the Fishmongers' is the 4th. In early records, persons who belonged to a given livery company would generally practice the trade to which that Company referred, but after about 1650, it became more and more common (until in some companies virtually universal) that members practised another trade altogether. Searchers, therefore, even if they know the occupation of the subject of interest, may not be able to find the right livery company to search at all easily. Example abstracts and what they tell you
The London Apprentices Abstracts contain the name of the apprentice; his father's (rarely the mother's) name, place of residence (parish or town, county, and country, if not England); father's occupation; the name of the master and the date of the indenture. If the father was stated to be dead, this is indicated. If the record notes that he was subsequently turned over to another master, or, as is sometimes recorded, became free, died etc, this is also noted.
The value of these abstracts is best illustrated by the examples below. Example 1
Bernard Ackett, son of Richard, [living at] Sherborne, Hampshire, [father's occupation] husbandman, [apprenticed to] Francis Gray, Armourers' & Brasiers' Company, [date of indenture] 31 May 1713Both direct and indirect assertions can be made from this record. Direct inferences from the record
Example 2
Abbisdiston, Jonas, son of Jonas, Holborn, cordwainer(deceased), to Thomas Atwood, Gold & Silver Wyre Drawers' Company, 9 Sep 1725The father in this case had died by the date of the indenture. You can draw the same kind of inferences from this example as from the previous one. Example 3
Abbott, Michael, son of Thomas, [living at] St Ann Blackfriars, London, [occupation of father] shoemaker, to [master] Benjamin Carey, 19 Nov 1761, [member of] Armourers' & Brasiers's CompanyA typical abstract. Example 4
Abercrumey, Thomas, son of John, Shoreditch, Middlesex, shoemaker, to Edward Staples sr., 4 Nov 1729, Framework Knitters' CompanyEdward Staples sr. implies that Edward had a son also called Edward. Example 5
Bishop, Thomas, son of Thomas, Eastington, Gloucestershire, tailor (deceased), to John Hoskins, 1 Jan 1679/80, Bowyers' CompanyThe apprentice's father was dead by this date. The year is given both Old Style (1679) and New Style (1680), since the date is before 25 March. Example 6
Abbott, George, son of William, Arthingworth [? in Ms 'Archinborough'], Nth, fuller, to William Moore, 14 Oct 1682, Carmens' Company A probable error in the original register has been corrected. Example 7
Bourne, Richard, bound apprentice 10 Aug 1660, to Richard Edwards, turned over to William Presbury, 18 Nov 1667, Spectaclemakers' CompanyA turn over. Richard Bourne was initially apprenticed to Richard Edwards and turned over to William Presbury seven years later. Perhaps Edwards had died, or perhaps Richard Bourne wished to become free of the Spectaclemakers' Company. Example 8
Cam, Joseph, son of John, St Margaret Westminster, Mdx, schoolmaster, to Henry Wilson, jnr., 30 Apr 1740 [31 Jul 1742 turned over to George Prous, citizen and turner with consent of master] Basketmakers' CompanyIn this case it is explicitly noted that the turn over was with the first master's consent. Citizen implies that that George Prous was freeman of the City of London. It seems likely that Joseph Cam's first master was a turner despite his membership of the Basketmakers' Company. Note also that Henry Wilson is jr., implying that his father was also called Henry. The source records
A large proportion of the records of the London Livery Companies are now deposited at the Guildhall Library, where they may be freely and conveniently consulted. From the genealogical viewpoint, the two most important series of records tends to be those where people were apprenticed to a master, and those where individuals were admitted as freemen of the company in question.
There are two alternate general sources for limited periods for London apprenticeships. Firstly, the original papers supporting a granting freedom from apprenticeship survive in the Corporation of London Record Office from 1681. Though often very difficult to use - they were strung together through a hole in the middle - they are invaluable for companies whose records do not survive, or for which only un-detailed records are extant. From 1710 until 1814, there was a duty on apprenticeship, and the records of this are preserved in The National Archives: until about 1750, the father's name, parish and occupation are given in these records, and there are a series of indexes for the period 1710 to 1774 at the Society of Genealogists. There were, however, a large number of exemptions under this act, and naturally as many people as possible sought this exemption and so many apprenticeships that might be expected to be found in this index are not there. It is again, however, an invaluable, if partial, substitute for lost records and as a general index and lucky dip. Additional detail in the source records, but not abstracted, include the street in which the master lived, the term of apprenticeship (usually seven years, but occasionally shorter or longer) and the premium paid. Livery Company details - Notes on the sources Further information
The following books are available from the
Society of Genealogists bookshop.
All the abstraction and indexing of the London Apprentices records has been undertaken by Cliff Webb, with the exception of the Apothecaries' Society, which was the responsibility of Patrick Wallis. The support of the Wellcome Trust in gathering the Apothecaries' Society information is gratefully acknowledged. The permission of the Guildhall Library, the Corporation of London and the individual livery companies for this index and abstracts to be published is gratefully acknowledged. We are also most grateful to Mr Ralph Vickers, clerk of the Worshipful Company of Plaisterers for affording Cliff Webb facilities to examine the Court Minute Book for 1794 to 1847.

Keep baby warm and cozy with a baby bedding set
Though you'd love to spend all your time with baby in your arms, your sleeping beauty is going to need a lot of sleep in a comfy, cozy crib. Complete your baby's naptime nest with a baby bedding set that will feel soft and supple against his or her tender skin. Comfortable sheets and fuzzy blankets are crucial to your little one getting the rest that he or she needs; fortunately, you'll find a wide selection of styles and materials at Kmart.
Whether you're looking for a basic four-piece set consisting of a comforter, fitted sheet, crib skirt and wall decoration, or a more extensive set of thirteen pieces, you'll find lots of options among Kmart's collection of baby bedding bundles. If you already own the more unusual pieces such as a crib bumper and crib skirt, remember that you can buy crib sheets separately. First-time parents may want to register for a complete set containing everything from sheets and blankets to decorative pillows and drapes.
Discover a baby boy's bedding set in classic motifs such as boats or teddy bears; little girls will have sweet dreams in bedding decorated with butterflies or berries. If your nursery is looking more neutral, baby crib bedding sets in shades of sunny yellow or mint green will match your versatile baby decor. Starbursts, polka dots, and chevron stripes add effortless oomph to a room, while timeless characters such as Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh are sure to bring a smile to your infant's face.
Once your baby gets a bit bigger, you'll need larger bedding to transform his or her crib into a toddler bed. Find a package suitable for your little man or little woman among Kmart's collection of kids' bedding sets. Your superhero-in-training will love drifting off to dreamland on a bedding set covered with his favorite Marvel characters. Mini princesses will likewise enjoy bedtime stories in a Dora the Explorer or My Little Pony-themed bed.
Since growing boys and girls will spend lots of time sleeping, ensure their rest is cozy and comfortable with a baby bedding set. Whether you're searching for a baby shower gift or bundle of bedding for your own little peanut, discover just the right collection of sheets and more at Kmart.

Nursing Cover Tutorial
46 comments:
Awesome tutorial! Wish I'd had it 2 1/2 years ago when I was figuring all this stuff out on my own (I based it on one a friend had bought from one of the original nursing cover companies). I'm about to have another baby though, and since my old one is kinda worn out, I'll be using your tute to help me make another one. Thanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteYay! Soooo glad you made a tute because I was going to and now I don't have to do the work. Ha!! :) I agree with Kimberly in adding something like flannel or terrycloth (just use one of those weensy baby towels) sewn on the inside bottom corner for wiping baby's mouth, but then again, you do have 3/4 yard of cotton draped on ya so that works too, hahaha. Is it OK to link to this tute in teh future??
ReplyDeleteI am getting ready to have a third baby and this time I want all the cute stuff that has come along, but didn't want to buy it...I am making this nursing apron ASAP!!! I wanted one with the last baby but didn't have the sewing experience then...now I feel confident and this tutorial made it so easy. I will be following your blog from now on!! Thankyou!!
ReplyDeleteI ordered one of these when I was pregnant with my son. I hated how thin the fabric was and it wasn't very soft either. When I saw this pattern I fell in love with the idea of making my own! Not only for me but for my prego friends! I made mine and lined it with the super soft and fuzzy minky fabric. It will be nice and comfy against a new babies skin. Plus for a winter baby it will be nice and warm for the little one. I also cut two triangles out of extra fabric and made a pocket on each bottom corner for a nuk/nursing pad.
Thanks again so much for the super simple to follow directions! I will be making several more of these for sure!! :)Hello Ms. Amy,
I tried this project and got stumped on sewing the rectangle around the straps and boning. I could only get 1/2 a rectangle on the side the boning ended. Did you sew into the boning material to complete the rectangle? I'm a beginner sewer so maybe I'm missing something.
TiaI love yo use my "scroll foot" to do simple turn unders on the edges saves me all that ironing too although I don't mind ironing so much in the winter I HATE it in the summer (I live in SO Cal USA). I may have to make on of these before I go to visit my son, D-I-L and granddaughter for birth of my newest grandchild! Thanks for tut..
ReplyDeletelike the tutorial...and the fabric...I appreciate you share it.

Send Gifts To Pakistan From Australia.Thank you so much for this tutorial, it is fantastic! I haven't seen anyone using one of these in the UK and I have just used your tutorial to make one for a friend who has just had a new baby. She's fed up of using muslins held by her chin when feeding little Isaac so she is going to be over the moon with the new nursing cover I have made for her. Thank you so much for sharing! x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! This was super easy to make and super cheap too! I saw some at a baby store for $35 and made mine for about $13 in the fabric of my choice. I'm so happy! I will be making more for my friends that are also expecting, I'll probably be the nursing cover sponsor for my friends and family from now on:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this! I made one in March of 2011 and it was a hit at a shower. I'm in the process of making one now and I am so impressed with your tutorial... so easy to understand and follow. I recently completed another sewing project from a blog tutorial and it was so confusing. I truly appreciated your clear style when I was rereading this. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam.

I bought the Neon Rainbow Wii skin and it looks amazing on. My daughter couldn't be more thrilled as it really jazzes up her boring black box wii. The product arrived surprisingly quickly from the USA, well in time for Christmas. Excellent service. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks.Cristina Roskell, United Kingdom

I was in the kitchen yesterday and made these mini egg cakes. I used the mini egg cake pan from Wilton. Inside is my favourite vanilla cake and I have used this petit four icing to coat them with.
I decorated them very simple with only a royal icing scroll, some piped leaves and a little yellow flower. Sweet and simple but also a bit time consuming.
I wish you all a Happy Easter!
Happy Caking!

Results tagged ' Micah Owings '
Historic homers
By Freddy Berowski
This past week, a couple of today's top sluggers surpassed marks set by two of the top stars of yesteryear.
On Thursday, 29-year-old Ryan Howard became the quickest player to reach the 200-home run plateau when he clubbed his 200th in only his 658th major league game. Howard eclipsed the mark set by Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner on Aug. 3, 1950, when Kiner took Cubs hurler Johnny Schmitz deep for his 200th round-tripper in career game number 706.
Kiner was two years younger than Howard when he established his mark. But while Howard's big blasts have come for a very successful Phillies club, Kiner's bombs came for a Pittsburgh club who struggled in the National League's second division. After Kiner led the league in home runs for the seventh straight season in 1952, with the Pirates finishing last for the second time in three seasons, Pirates general manager Branch Rickey – another future Hall of Famer – rejected his request for a pay increase, stating: "We would have finished last without you".
Rickey traded Kiner to the Cubs as part of a 10-player deal only 41 games into the 1953 season, and with that trade proved his statement true as the Pirates once again finished last. Kiner was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1975.
Meanwhile, Manny Ramirez moved into sole possession of 15th place on Major League Baseball's all-time home run list on Monday, passing Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle with his 537th career long ball.
The Mick hit his 536th-and-final home run off of Boston's Jim Lonborg on Sept. 20, 1968. Eight days later, the 36-year-old Mantle would have the final at bat of his career, a first-inning ground out to short, also against Lonborg.
Manny's 537th was a second-inning, two-run shot off the Reds' Micah Owings. In the last season and a half, the 37-year-old Ramirez has passed no less than eight other Hall of Famers on the home run list, including Lou Gehrig and Ted Williams. Up next for Manny: the No. 14 spot currently occupied by Philadelphia Phillies Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt, who hit 548 career homers.

For the sake of argument, lets say there are only a billion other universes, they all also have suns that will die, so which do you aim for. Like anything it all has a life cycle, and maybe it just shows, nobody gets out of this alive, including our universe.
You all know I am from our space industry, and a huge advocate of it. You mentioned the modern things we have from our space program, namely the microwave oven. If you actually consider what the microwave has done, a bigger argument against it could be made for the social problems we have caused with it. In the long run, the microwave could be considered one of the biggest killers we have made, topping many military weapons. How it has affected families, from unhealthy eating, to no more family sit down and talk at dinners, or just another instant gratification tool to laziness.

Change is the enemy. Keep it the same day after day. Refine. This is what manufacturing likes. This is not what manufacturing gets. Changes happen on different levels. Changes in order quantities such that we have to adjust the work-orders and schedules. Variations in the bill of materials due to some engineering change, perhaps made to improve the product quality, reliability or perhaps just to reduce the cost. It causes disruption, but there are procedures to cope with that. The risk of making a mistake and the cost of implementing the change is as good as the procedure and the adherence to that procedure. These kinds of changes are normal and we can cope with them.
There are other kinds of changes however. A shortage of materials in the market, the purchasing division sources some alternatives. Different sizes, shapes, even a different supply form in some cases. These changes are more difficult and more costly to implement. For those of us with good material management systems, we can cope with this, we have a procedure, we reduce the risk and the cost. Cutting the alternative parts in and out, changing the machine programs, recording the change in the traceability files, changing the AOI programs and knowing which boards and which references have changed.
Then there are complex changes such as those related to "light classes". This is not a simple alternative part scenario, this is a much more complex parts substitution problem – on the fly! Why? Well, go to the airport or anywhere that has those nice LED display panels. Look at any array of LED lights, now also popular as brake lights on cars. These LED panels are made up of tens, hundreds or even thousands of individual LEDs. Look more closely at the panel at the airport with its scrolling message. You start to see that a few of the LEDs are brighter than others. Some may be dimmer. Multi-coloured displays have the message changing tint as it flows across the display. Lack of uniformity an engineer may tell us. Uniformity is an important part of the quality of the display. Uniformity however is not a strong attribute in LED manufacture however. You really only know when you light it up with a known current how bright it is going to be. Of course, LED manufacturers are not going to let a thing like that prevent them from selling a quality product – they simply sort them into "classes", each class has a range of brightness characteristic deemed acceptable at the desired quality level. All classes are as good as each other, but to get one class to shine at the same brightness as the other, different components or values in the support circuitry are needed. Back to manufacturing then, which class are we using? Design and engineering will have done their part, to set up sets of conditional substitutions. To put it simply, whenever one class is used, populate the parts with these values, but when another class, then use other parts with other values. This can happen at any time though, whenever the light class of the available parts changes. This is now true dynamic manufacturing, where risk and cost of change become a part of the process itself rather than a recovery procedure.
How many MES systems can handle this? It is just one of a number of advanced manufacturing requirements that are faced in SMT manufacturing that require special and individual attention. If it cannot be supported, we fall back on to a manual system with all the associated risk and cost. Having the support for these specialist requirements to ensure that risk and cost are avoided is a key differentiator in the choice of manufacturing systems. The Valor MSS suite is probably the one system available that has at its core the support for this kind of specialisation, out of the box and ready to go. It is the value point differentiation. This is all getting very interesting…..
