Vintage Pyrex and fabric inspiration
39 comments:
I'm not sure how big your fridge container is but maybe butter or jelly? I like buying just one of a bowl and using it for almost anything else except as a bowl to eat something out of! They hold sweetner containers, jewelry, put a magnet on the bottom and use it as my pin holder, etc. They are just so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your Pyrex pieces. I have one of the little fridge containers - rectangular, red with a scalloped edge lid. Also have a larger retangular blue one - lid lost long ago - that was the butter dish. Way back in the old days (the 1960's) before soft spreadable butter and margarine, my mother used take a pound of butter & cream or milk and blend the heck out of to make easy spread butter and it was kept in that blue pyrex dish in the fridge!! Thanks for bringing back a great memory!!
ReplyDeleteYour Pyrex collection is so inspiring. I would love a piece or two in pink. I have the nested bowls in the classic yellow, green, red and blue. I could have waited to get them eventually from my mother, but I'm so happy to have my set NOW--I use them all the time! And Melody Miller's new line. *sigh* I just might have to already make an exception to my "sew with my own stash" pledge and buy just a couple of pieces...
ReplyDeleteI see all these Pyrex collections on quilting blogs and it makes me wonder. My mum has so much of this and I've never thought of it as collectible. It's just her old cookware! She uses it all the time and has forever. I dare say it was given to her as wedding presents when she and Dad married in 1974. Maybe I should tell her she's using vintage modern trendy collectables!
ReplyDeleteMy mother-in-law has that exact tiny refrigerator dish. She keeps it on her counter to hold butter at room temperature. Lucky for me she likes to shop antiques and I have gotten a few 1950's (turquoise) pieces as gifts. I even swiped a 1970's harvest gold piece from my mom's Goodwill pile! Love to use mine when entertaining. I always get lots of compliments.
ReplyDeleteOooh! I love your most recent Pyrex finds. Especially the pink and green ones. Those colors are so pretty and I like the patterns a lot too. I only have two Pyrex colored bowls. They were my mom's. One is a large turquoise one with a white pattern and the other is white with a turquoise pattern. I think they were part of a three piece set. I think it's missing the middle sized one. I saw some of those red fridgies at an antique store a couple of weeks ago. They're so cute and so practical. Although, I'd be worried about them getting broken too.
ReplyDeleteI love love love my vintage pyrex! My mom gave me her casserole set (3 round that stack together with lids) in the aqua/white - she got them for a wedding gift in 1962. Love. I found a rectangle casserole in the same print recently to add to the set - and I have 2 white mixing bowls too that I think are from the same era. I think they might have come with a mixer because they work very well for my 1962 Hamilton Beach mixer that she also gave me. Anyhow, I am going to take a peek at the pyrex blog, but I will keep it to reading one page! Can't get stuck on blogs all day, LOL
ReplyDeleteyour wee"fridgie" box with a lid......
i am so-o-o-o-o envious.....
i have/had the exact same container....
had: the top & bottom
have: still the bottom
we use it as a butter dish....perfect, not a whole pile of butter at a time, just the right amount. i am on the hunt for another one again with the lid,
but you are right....oh so cute!!

If you're just joining us be sure to check out Part 1 and Part 2.
If you are planning on making printed patterns rather than PDFs some of this info won't apply to you, but that's ok, other stuff will.
Since giving away my first patterns I've learned a lot about what needs to be included in a pattern you intend to share or sell. Some of these points seem obvious but in the beginning I didn't always think to do all of these things (maybe I though "hey, it's a free pattern, don't complain!" not the best approach...).
What You Need to Include with you Pattern Pieces:
- Grainlines, center front and back markings if needed.
- All necessary darts, notches, gather points, pleat lines, buttonholes, zipper markings, arrows, etc.
- Label every pattern piece with the company name, pattern name or number, pattern piece designation, and how many pieces to cut of what fabric. If you don't include seam allowance elsewhere in your packaging or if a certain piece has a special seam allowance list it on the pattern piece. (I used to not include all of this in my very early patterns until I realized how easy it is for pattern pieces to get lost in my sewing room and it's hard to match up pieces if I don't know what pattern or company it belongs to!)
- Clear size markings. I like to make each size cutting line be a different dash pattern. Makes it easy to find your size on every piece.
- Extras, if needed, like lengthen/shorten lines or even finished measurements for pattern pieces.
What you need to include with your pattern packaging:
- A Size Chart for all your sizes, finished garment measurements are great, too
- Yardage needed in standard fabric widths
- Materials needed and recommended fabrics
- Seam and hem allowance
- A description of the design
- Line drawing of front and back
- Cutting layout
- Pattern piece inventory (I like to combine this with cutting/printing layout to save space)
- If you need to you can include a glossary of terms or symbols. I usually like to explain terms in the instructions to avoid needing a separate glossary.
- If you don't have sample photographs in the pattern itself at least have them available to view where a customer buys the pattern like your blog or the site you use to sell patterns.
- Copyright and licensing info
Tips on how to write instructions:
- Go in a logical order. You can even divide instructions into sections like bodice, skirt, collar, etc.
- Be thorough, it's good to remind users to finish their seams if you don't tell them to do it from the beginning. It's also nice to suggest techniques like understitching or how exactly to sew that baby hem. Try to think like a beginner, don't assume a user knows what you're talking about. It doesn't hurt to tell people how to put in a zipper...
- Include clear illustrations or photos. Sometimes good pictures are better than any text instruction. I don't think you need pictures for every step but it always helps!
- With illustration be sure to designate right and wrong side of fabric/pattern.
- If it helps you can have arrows pointing out specific parts of the illustrations.
- If you don't know how to make good illustrations it helps reference other patterns, most companies have similar pictures for common techniques. Better yet, ask a friend who sews (don't ask your boyfriend, he won't know what a gathered sleeve cap looks like) to view at the image without the text and ask if she can figure out what the picture is.
- I make my instruction illustrations in Illustrator and just scale my pattern pieces down way smaller and use them to make graphics where I can.
- Your writing "voice" is up to you. You can be formal or casual so long as your instructions are clear.
Design and Layout:
Since I design for downloadable, print at home PDFs efficiency is important to me because I want to have the fewest number of pages as possible for the instructions and the pattern pieces. If you make pre-printed patterns this isn't as much of an issue.
I lay all my pieces out on a template that is then divided into individual printer paper sizes. A 7" by 9.5" page template will fit on both A4 and letter size paper. Many home printers cannot print all the way to the edge. Some can't even get close to the edge. Your pages must work with a variety of printers and standard paper sizes.
You also have to remind users to print with "no scaling" or 100% scaling. Some PDF readers like to "fill out" the whole page and blow the image up bigger. Bad!
Each of my template pages has a solid border and numbered and lettered notches so the whole grid can be matched up once it is printed out. Every pattern company is different, some have gridded pages, some have numbers in each corner. Just so long as each page connects logically in an order of assembly and the pages can be easily lined up on each side then you're good to go. It's a puzzle but you don't want it to be a difficult puzzle.
I always include a 2" or 4" test square completely contained on one sheet of paper. If the test square spans multiple pages it defeats the purpose of being a good size reference! Sometimes home printers will want to print your PDF out in all different sizes. The test square allows users to make sure their pages are printing at 100% scale..
I also include a printing layout so users can make sure they've got all their pieces together and in the right order.
This is just a personal preference but I don't like to have slivers or edges of pattern pieces printed on one page if I can avoid it. When you tape the skinny edge to the other pages it's floppy and I think those tiny pieces can easily be lost or accidentally discarded when cutting.
I also like to have all my pattern piece labels contained on one sheet rather than spanning sheets. This isn't always possible, though, but I try. Again, it's just me being finicky about details.
I don't like to have a lot of different colors in my PDFs. People like to save ink and I know I always print patterns in B&W. You should at least make sure it looks legible in black and white if you have many colors in your pattern or instructions.
Here's a good question: one PDF document or two? Some companies have the instructions and pattern pieces in separate documents. I do it all in one because of how I sell my patterns. On Craftsy, last I checked, they can only support one PDF for patterns. Maybe you can do a zip file with two documents but I'm not sure. Burdastyle's free patterns only have one document upload and they ask you to add instructions directly to their website. I find that users get confused by that system so I include the instruction with the pieces.
The website I use for instant downloads through Big Cartel is called Pulley and they only accept one document per product.
I also sell on Etsy which now supports instant downloads.
Craftsy offers a free service for selling (or giving away for free) your patterns and Burdastyle is a good place to post free patterns. PatternReview.com has a few companies listed for download patterns for sale. I also sell on IndieSew.com. You could email them to see if you could be included.
Does anyone else know of a good place to buy or sell PDF patterns?
***Ok, well that's about it. There's obviously more details you can include in your pattern if you do choose but I think what I covered is the most important.
If I work my bum off I can make an average level pattern in about a month. But of course, I'm kind of lazy so it takes me a lot longer. The longest part is grading and creating all the packaging and instructions.
If you've got any questions or want more explanation on any part of this process leave me a comment or email me and I'll try to get you an answer ASAP! Thanks for reading!

A biopsy is the removal of a small piece of tissue for laboratory examination.
Tissue sampling
There are several different types of biopsies.
A needle biopsy is called a percutaneous biopsy. It removes tissue using a hollow tube called a syringe. The needle is passed several times through the tissue being examined. The surgeon uses the needle to remove the tissue sample. Needle biopsies are often done using CT scan or ultrasound . These imaging tools help guide the surgeon to the right area.
An open biopsy is surgery that uses local or general anesthesia. This means you are relaxed (sedated) or asleep and pain-free during the procedure. It is done in a hospital operating room. The surgeon makes a cut into the affected area, and the tissue is removed.
Closed biopsy uses a much smaller surgical cut than open biopsy. A small cut is made so that a camera-like instrument can be inserted. This instrument helps guide the surgeon to the right place to take the sample.
Before scheduling the biopsy, tell your doctor and nurse about any medicines you are taking, including herbs and supplements. You may be asked to stop taking some for a while, particularly those that can make you bleed. Such medications include aspirin, Coumadin (warfarin), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs).
Never stop or change your medications without first talking to your health care provider.
In a needle biopsy, you will feel a small sharp pinch at the site of the biopsy.
In an open or closed biopsy, local or general anesthesia is often used to make it pain-free.
A biopsy is most often done to examine tissue for disease.
The tissue removed is normal.
An abnormal biopsy means that the tissue or cells have an unusual structure, shape, size, or condition.
This may mean you have a disease, such as cancer, but it depends on your biopsy.
There are many different types of biopsies. Some are:

The Web site, which is promoted as "a members-only shopping community for trendsetting women," offers in-season and past-season luxury products at discounts of 50 to 90 percent, as well as weekly giveaways.
The idea is about subliminal marketing and captive audiences. Here's how it works: Ideeli.com members get a text message or e-mail that a sale or contest is about to begin. That's the bait. Before they can win or buy anything, however, they must read some carefully crafted copy about the brand. Oscar de la Renta, Jimmy Choo, Burberry and Prada — they're the hook — are among the labels that pay a fee and have used or are now using Ideeli.com to reach customers.
Consumers who participate are prompted to spread the word, sharing information much as they do on YouTube or Facebook.
"We found that there is a real need for [luxury brands] to respond to the rise of social media and manage how they're perceived online," said Ideeli.com founder and chief executive officer Paul Hurley. "The core customer for all the top luxury brands is spending more time online than less-affluent customers. They're using their peers' opinions to help form opinions about what they like and don't like. [Brands] need to engage this audience. Technology has made this more powerful."
While "everybody knows the top brands," Hurley said, recognizing a luxury name and knowing a brand intimately are two different things, and when it comes to high-end products, subtle design nuances and details can inspire loyalty. "How do you get an affluent customer who is time-starved to understand the key details of a new collection and how they're different from competition," Hurley said. The site is also being used by brands to drive traffic to stores.
Ideeli.com, which had a soft launch in May, in December received $3.8 million in funding from Kodiak Ventures and angel investors. The site has more than 10,000 members, which Hurley said will rise dramatically in the first quarter.
Premium subscriptions entitle a member to shop sale items for one hour before all other members, and be notified of a sale or giveaway via text message. The cost is $7.99 per month. Standard memberships are free, but consumers quickly learn that if they want to get in on a sale or win a freebie, they'll need that premium upgrade. "We use the metaphor of a private sale to capture attention," Hurley said. "Members can go to the Coming Soon section to see a list of sales, but don't know when they will start."
"We want to maintain the image of scarcity," Hurley said. "Things sell out very rapidly and we make sure we generate more demand than we actually have."
Baccarat has participated in three giveaways on Ideeli.com. "We wanted to introduce our jewelry in a new media setting,'' said Jaime Jimenez, director of public relations at Baccarat North America. "Social Web sites reach luxury buyers and they get engaged in the broader picture of the brand. We have a link on Ideeli.com to our new ad campaign [photographed] by Ellen von Unwerth. A lot of consumers check out the jewelry we're giving away and then check out the campaign and get more involved with the brand. We're reaching a younger customer who may not be saying, 'I've got to walk into Baccarat and buy 12 [crystal] stems.'"

The chairman and chief executive of the company which owns Scottish Power has warned governments in Westminster and Holyrood that the renewables industry needs a stable policy platform if the industry – and the economy – is to benefit from major hydro power and other UK pipeline projects.
The UK economy is recovering slowly and, as the UK General Election looms, the main Westminster parties are trying to trump one another on budget cuts promises. The Tories are claiming they will reduce the deficit through cuts but without major tax rises. Labour has responded by voting with the Tories on budget cuts, but telling anyone that will listen "don't worry it won't affect the NHS". So keen is Labour to convince the voters that they are not going to bust Britain (again) they even use rapid rebuttals to prove they will cut as deeply as the Tories. My favourite example was the Labour press team tweet "p.44 of Tory dossier says Labour will cancel cuts to the arts budget. We won't." This sort of statement might go down well in the South East, but Labour emphasising its commitment to continued austerity is a gift to the SNP.
The Scottish Government has put "fairness, equity and the ability to pay" at the heart of its first tax-raising Budget in over 300 years, Finance Secretary John Swinney has announced.

Esophageal spasms are abnormal contractions of the muscles in the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach). These spasms do not move food effectively to the stomach.
Diffuse esophageal spasm; Spasm of the esophagus
The cause of esophageal spasm is unknown. Very hot or very cold foods may trigger an episode in some people.
It can be hard to tell a spasm from angina pectoris, a symptom of heart disease. The pain may spread to the neck, jaw, arms, or back
Nitroglycerin given under the tongue (sublingual) may help a sudden episode of esophageal spasm. Long-acting nitroglycerin and calcium channel blockers are also used for the problem.
Long-term (chronic) cases are sometimes treated with low-dose antidepressants such as trazodone or nortriptyline to reduce symptoms.
Rarely, severe cases may need dilation (widening) of the esophagus or surgery. to control symptoms
An esophageal spasm may come and go (intermittent) or last for a long time (chronic) . Medicine can help relieve symptoms.
The condition may not respond to treatment.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of esophageal spasm that don't go away.
Avoid very hot or very cold foods if you get esophageal spasms.

Benang: from the heartOceanic in its rhythms and understanding, brilliant in its use of language and image, moving in its largeness of spirit, compelling in its narrative scope and style, this intriguing journey is a celebration and lamentof beginning and return, of obliteration and recovery, of silencing, and of powerful utterance. Both tentative and daring, it speaks to the present and a possible future through stories, dreams, rhythms, songs, images and documents mobilized from the incompletely acknowledged and still dynamic past. |

When To Fix Appliances - Electric And Gas Range Repair
When an appliance is on the fritz, it's hard to know what to do next. Here, advice from the pros.
By Amy Roberts
Special Offers
Electric or Gas Range
Complaint: The oven is running too hot or too cold.
If the temp seems off, Franke says you may be able to recalibrate the thermostat yourself. Check the manual for info on how to do it.
With most range complaints, youll need a repairperson to take care of them. There are too many sensitive components that require the knowledgeable touch of a trained professional.
Again, if the cost of the repair is going to exceed more than half the cost of a new one, the fix is probably not worth the investment. The typical life expectancy of a gas range is 15 to 23 years and of an electric range is 13 to 20 years.
RELATED: Top-Tested Cooking Ranges
Complaint: Water spots or food residue left on the dishes.
If youre noticing water spots all of a sudden, you may be out of rinse aid. This product, which goes in the other dispenser, alters the surface tension of the water, so it sheets off and plates dry better, says Carolyn Forte, Good Housekeeping Research Institute Cleaning Products Director. She also recommends adding a bit more detergent (especially if you know you have hard water), and and using a drying cycle rather than letting the dishes air-dry, both of which help reduce spotting. However, you should also check if the detergent youre using also include a rinse aid, says Liston. Too much of this product could lead to etching of glass.
Still-grimy plates could indicate a couple of issues. One, the filter (common in European models) that catches food debris may need replaced. The manual can tell you if your machine has one, and how to take care of it. It could also be that if youre using a gel detergent, and its gumming up the filter best to switch to another formulation, suggests Liston. Another issue could be that youre loading dishes that are too clean, Liston says. Some of the newer machines have sensors that determine the soil of each load if you pre-rinse dishes, the machine might not run a full cycle!
Other simple fixes, courtesy of Forte: Add more detergent to the prewash and select a longer, more aggressive or heavy-duty cycle depending on what's in the load. Make sure the water is hot enough at least 120 degrees going into the dishwasher to get the best cleaning results. It helps to run the hot water at the sink faucet near the dishwasher before starting it to purge the line of any cold water.
RELATED: Top Stainless-Steel Dishwashers
Common problems that require a service call: The dishwasher isnt heating, the spray arms arent spinning, the machines not draining properly, or the electronics arent working.
A dishwasher usually just dies or stops working on certain cycles, says Forte. It can also stop cleaning well even after everything's been checked. The typical life expectancy of a dishwasher is nine to 16 years.

"Outstanding work of interpretive history"
This work, purportedly about the election of 1800, actually spends less than 1/4 of its length on the election & the various machinations associated with same. That is a good thing. Rather, it reviews, superficially yet very powerfully, the forces that in the years after 1776 brought forth the Federalists, anti-Federalists & Jeffersonian Republicans, as well as the sideward glance at the first glimmerings of a "political machine" in the hands of Aaron Burr. It is this interpretation of the 2 decades running up to the election that makes the election crystal-clear. This book also has outstanding narration. Someone who speaks with emphasis & doesn't have to be suffered through. The only weakness of the book, frankly, is the short section that follows the events of the elections, which treads on very well worn ground (Burr's post 1800 shenanigans, Hamilton, Jefferson/Adams correspondence) & does not add anything substantial to the record here. A very small complaint. It still deserves 5 stars in by book.
"A great & moving version of Hamlet"
I was unable to put down this audiobook. The underlying book is very moving, it follows the Shakespeare version well, if not perfectly, but fills in the context, or an imagined context, both historical & with respect the the relationships between the characters. It does all this without the Elizabethan language that can mar Hamlet, the play, to the untutored ear. All this gives the audiobook great narrative power. The narration gives it some more. You shouldn't avoid going to the play itself because in the hands of a good group it too has great narrative power, but I loved this audio version just the same. I have already downloaded the Macbeth the Novel availability on audible.
"an altogether enjoyable, skillful book of history"
Jonathan Eig has done a fabulous job bringing forward the little know (to me, anyway, a history buff) of the development of the Pill. Oh, of course I remember when it the scene (fuzzy, I was in elementary school & junior high) and its early appearance on college campuses not long after, but to me, it was as if the Pill sprouted from the ground, did not have a history. That is how all everyday things, things part of the landscape, seem to us. But Eig filled that gap, in a very entertaining way, for me. He does so by weaving together the history the the "sex," family planning (Planned Parenthood), and birth control movements, with the biographies of 4 individuals central to the development, and also drug testing, drug companies, the executives at Searle and so forth. The narration is compelling. I give this book 5 stars for each of the 3 attributes.
"revealing political history"
This book is so revealing about the Carter administration & the post WW2 history of the middle east. I remember vaguely this whole event, the Carter peace initiative, but Wright successfully brings the event, the key characters (not just the principals) & the contextual background to life. The book mixes biography of the key players with the main event. Sometimes this feels a little bumpy - it might play more so this way in the audio version, since listener cannot see chapter headings or other transitions that would appear in the physical book. The narrator is excellent.
"nice companion to reading about the case elsewhere"
This new series on audible looks to be a cool gold mine, although this is the first I've listened to. Griswold vs Connecticut is one of those cases you should know about as a non lawyer. I first heard of it from my late grandmother in law who used to shuttle women in need of birth control from CT to NY due to the medieval CT laws. This Oyez recording is a great piece of history. But it needs to be supplemented by a bit of side reading about the case. In the Supreme Court Q&A there is a lot of back & forth about constitutional arcana that is hard to follow without outside knowledge.
The sound quality isn't terrific. You can hear the 2 lawyers very clearly but often cannot hear (or identify) the justices. The lawyers do most of the talking so that was acceptable. I am sure the written transcript is available on the internet to fill in the blanks.
"weak, unfortunately"
I have read or better said, listened to, numerous Teaching Company courses. On the whole they are terrific, even if on topics that are only on the fringe of my main interests.
Unfortunately this is one of the weaker courses. The professors is somewhat annoying in his accent & diction. And he seems confused about whether to be superficial or deep on the subjects he covers.
The problem here may be with me, since I know quite a bit already about the subject matter.
"Life is like a box of candy, so are Bryson books"
Bryson books are like confections, like a box of candy with multiple, surprising fillings. This book is no exception although it is the first I have listened to out of the Audible stable. Bryson tells & interweaves many stories to keep the otherwise too long narrative fresh & interesting. This book focuses on many personalities of the period, among the major ones Lindbergh, Harding, Coolidge & Ford. Lindbergh & flying is a particular focus as are the [now] minor or forgotten colleagues in flight of the period. Bryson's works are not deep, not analytical. I might say "shallow" but I never feel that way when reading his work. I know I can find other works (indeed he often refers to those other works in the text) if I want to dig deeper. I am pretty familiar with the 1920s & with his main characters but I did not find much to complain about in his narrative.
"Excellent, human-scale, book about science"
The author (& protagonist/narrator) made the hard science in the book very easy to listen to. He interweaves the drama & the process of science with the personal ambitions of scientists, annals of his own life & career. It all makes the science portion exciting, without the reader having to know all of the details he goes over. The narration is excellent. And I found it hard to put down my iPod throughout (thereby accumulating lots of podcasts, science-centric & otherwise, that I could enjoy when the book was done).
"Some very entertaining, some not"
Probably not. A whole book on a subject, including a comedy book, suits my taste better. These stories were of variable quality. A few hilarious, a couple just awful, very please when I got to the end. The narration of all the stories, excellent though. Sorry to sound like a curmudgeon on this volume.
"very entertaining"
Very entertaining audio book for Princess Bride aficionados. People who haven't seen the movie wouldn't get it. It is largely from Cary Elwes point of view, but others -- the director, producer, screenwriter, & most of the players have greater & smaller roles (& have speaking parts. The book is a little uneven, with sections that are fall down funny, just interesting & a few portions that seem like filler. But altogether it is an enjoyable listen.
"outstanding, beautiful work of history"
This book is a new interpretation of the U.S. antebellum period that powerfully combines the reality of slavery, the economics of the internal slave trade, international trade & the industrial revolution (first in the UK and later in New England), financial innovation & speculation, and banking. Baptist is able show how absolutely central slavery was to the American economy in the 19th century, north and south.
The sections that described how southern cotton planters & their overseers actually industrialized manual cotton cultivation to achieve a tripling and quadupling productivity in the field.
The narrator is outstanding, he does well with great written material.

is an
excellent documentary about the football team at Manassas High School in North
Memphis, Tennessee. But don�t worry � you don�t have to love football to love
this film. You probably don�t even need to like football. This film is really
about overcoming obstacles, working together toward a common goal, and rising
above one�s set of circumstances. The idea is that your dreams are not
necessarily out of reach, although there is plenty of heartbreak and trouble
along the way. As a former NFL player tells the team early on, �
You gotta think
outside your circumstances
This is a team in an underfunded system, a team that has
always lost, once having a season record of 0-10. They play in an area that is
basically poor. The plant that supplied most of the families with jobs closed,
and so a lot of folks moved out. (There are several shots of boarded up houses
during the opening credit sequence.) This film documents one season in which
the team attempts to do what the school had never done before � win a play-off
The film starts with the team�s coach, Bill Courtney,
listing off players who have been shot and are no longer in school; also, another
player was arrested, and this was all within two weeks. And yet he tells them, �
is our season � I don�t care what happens
.� The film takes us through the
entire season, starting with the first day of practice.
Before their second game, there is a talk of a planned
fight after this district game. At the half, Manassas is down, 20-0. The
players are obviously down as well. Bill Courtney tells them optimistically, �
is an unbelievably good opportunity
And the team does manage to come back in the second half. As incredible
as that is, the footage after the game is even more intense. Because of the
worry of a fight, the cops stop the teams from shaking hands. And you realize
just how serious things are. The celebration of the victory juxtaposed with
very real concern of the police for the team�s safety is a seriously engaging
moment in the film. And this film is full of such moments.
The team�s coaches are all volunteers.
The head coach, Bill Courtney, began
volunteering six years before this film was shot. His first year there, the
team won four games, so they were no longer the worst team in the state.
Bill Courtney says, �
You think football
builds character, which it does not. Football reveals character
.� Bill can
relate to these kids because his own father left when he was four years old.
Not only does Courtney coach these kids, but he has to solve problems among
teammates (and in doing so, he misses his own son�s first game).
Besides the coaches, the film focuses on several of the
team�s key players. O.C. is a senior, and plays left tackle. He lives with his
grandmother, and sees football as his way out. When O.C.�s grades slip he moves
into coach Mike Ray�s house, because tutors wouldn�t go to O.C.�s house.
Seriously. These are kids who really care, who are trying to make it, who are
putting in the effort. And these are coaches who go way beyond simply teaching
them how to play the game.
Montrail (AKA �Money�) is also a senior, and plays right
tackle. He is small for the position, but mentally tough. Money�s is one of the
more heartbreaking (and ultimately heartwarming) story lines in this film. He is
injured, and is unable to play for the rest of the season. The footage of him
hearing the news from his doctor is intense. Again, you come to really care for
these guys.
The film also focuses on Chavis, a junior linebacker who
returns to school after serving fifteen months in a youth penitentiary. He gets
into fights with other players, and is suspended from team rather than kicked
One of the elements of this story that I found
fascinating was how they funded the football program. They used to play what
were called pay games, where the team would be bused out to another school, and
as Courtney says,
They�d beat our ass,
they�d give us a check, and send us back on our way. And those five or six
games would raise fifteen to twenty thousand dollars and that�s what would fund
the football program
.� The problem with that, of course, is then when you got
to your district games, your kids were already beat up and defeated. So they
started Manrise, a program to raise money.
directed and edited by Dan Lindsay and TJ Martin.
Bonus Features
This DVD has some good bonus material. There is a
commentary track with directors Dan Lindsay and TJ Martin. There are six
deleted scenes, including stuff with Joaquin, a player who spent most of his teen
years in foster care. It must have been a tough decision to cut this footage
from the film.

Craftsmen carefully paint our soft White finish for a smooth opaque surface, and apply our Espresso finish in layers for exceptional depth of color.

Once dry, the surface is subtly distressed for the special warmth and rich patina of a treasured heirloom. All finishes are sealed with a final coat of lacquer for extra durability.
- All finishes in the same color family are designed to coordinate with one another. For example, Rustic Sun Valley Honey, Sun Valley Honey and Honey all look great together in one room.

Went to see the movie Argo last Thursday and, when a fully-bearded Ben Affleck appeared on screen, I thought: "Holy cow, Jason Garrison!" In Argo, Affleck plays the role of CIA agent Tony Mendez and rocks a full beard almost identical to the one Garrison sports on a regular basis. So when we finally caught up Monday to the injured Vancouver Canuck blueliner, we had to ask him whether he and Affleck were separated at birth. "It's funny you mention that," he chuckled, "because I did have a couple of people comment to me about it. It's tough to say who is the better looking one. Obviously I'm going to check out the movie and see the resemblance." Believe it, Jason. You and Ben could be twins …
Ben Affleck, Jason Garrison: separated at birth?
Vancouver Canuck Jason Garrison, starring as … Argo's Ben Affleck (above)?

Recently I've been studying UFO's/aliens/ancient astro theory.
My question is; If the US gov knows of alien tech and they do indeed know of alien races etc. why do you think the aliens only discuss things to extremely high up top officials and not regular everyday people as a whole so that we can embrace them?
We are told they left back signs and our human ancestors left signs as well, but why didn't they just explain why they're here? Why so secretive?

Edmunds Member Spotlight - Meet Fezo! - June/July 2012
fezo Posts: 9,600Now for those here who go back far enough you should know that long ago we had a long running hit series of topics here (back then you could overload a topic and have to start version 2,3,4....) called Ask Sir Fezo. (For those wondering I was knighted by another poster some time around 1997.)
I notice now that Edmunds.com is using the motto "Ask the Car People." They have gone so far as to trademark it. Your Sir is beginning to think that his creative powers have been used for commercial purposes with no compensation (though I got a really nice jacket for having this topic...).
So now everyone should howl in protest to our overworked hosts....... -
roadburner Posts: 7,162
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,450
jg88 Posts: 59Good one!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----
However, if pressed, I'd yestify that Sir Fezo is indeed due a % of the advertising fees associated with this site as he has spurred on remarkable increases in viewership and click through. Or perhaps Edmunds could see to it that cars they test cycle to the Sir's driveway a week at a time on a regular basis. Let him add his 2 cents as part of the review. I can visualize a Panamera 4s in the drive next to the Ody... -
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,450
fezo Posts: 9,600I LOVE your idea and it only confirms my opinion of you as a poster with superior intelligence but must break one bit of news to you - no more Ody. I am officially out of the minivan biz since October. Maybe should be in some 12 step program....
I traded it in at another poster's dealership on a 2007 Solara convertible. With rare exception, such as being released to home tomorrow with all my junk, I don't miss the van. This winter was mild enough that I've had the top down every month I've owned the Solara. Well, for April and maybe May my wife had to have the top down but she somehow made the sacrifice......
Let's see when they send me Panamera 4s. I'm ready. I'll even do a long term test for them at little extra charge... -
jg88 Posts: 59Well then, if the Sir supports the idea, it must have a high degree of merit otherwise he would never throw his full support behind something not worthwhile. As far as waiving the fees, our host, while being fully in command of the obvious, is dare I say almost denigrating this concept in the presence of the Sir himself. Brave? We shall see.
Sorry about the Ody. But a ragtop that is not a Miata? Am surprised and a bit impressed by your open-mindedness, or opentoppedness. -
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,450Well we'd have to test this theory. We'll have fezo banish himself from the forums for say a week and then see if we notice a massive drop in Forums visitors. :P
Actually, since Edmunds Forums are not Facebook, I'd guess that a small % of revenue might not quite add up to the cost of the stamp to mail him his check :P
However, it's my impression that :shades: Edmunds has always valued quality over quantity when it comes to membership.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!

I've been missing a while. After they let me go home for about ten days I developed bad headaches which turns out to be toxoplasmosis - something I've had to deal with all my life. This time as a lesion on my brain. Nasty thing and no telling how long I'll be laid up.
Stay tuned. -

I've been using/maintaining knives for quite a while now and a few weeks ago I decided to give straight razor shaving a try. It so happens that Tom opened his store at the same time... selling knives and straight razor stuff. It was right up my alley and I jumped on it. When you go on his site and see that sweet leather travel roll was sold, yup that was me. He sent a bar of the Brooklyn to London shaving soap along with it.
I picked up an old Spike straight, sharpened it (1.2k, 5k, 10k, .3 powder, .1 powder, leather strop). I waited for a day off (today) woke up at 1, fixed myself a martini and got to shaving.
After using Edge neon gel stuff for so long, the Brooklyn to London soap was awesome. The scent is very strong so I was worried a bit that I too would be that scented but needlessly. It builds a lather quickly and gives a pleasant clean feeling. Its a simple, well made, great product.

Vickroy: At 100, she's oldest to have new heart procedure
BY DONNA VICKROY email@example.com Twitter: @dvickroy
Article Extras
Leaning on her cane in the lobby of Christ Medical Center, clad in a black North Face jacket, Irene Vicich said, "I like Palermo's pizza with thin crust and a glass, or two, of zinfandel. Sometimes, if I have one too many, I end up dancing on the tables."
Vicich, who's been around since the year the Titanic sank, knows how to have a good time. Her spirit has earned her the nickname "Bingo Irene" at St. Turibius Church on Chicago's Southwest Side.
"I'm three months away from turning 101," she said, proudly.
"I clean my own house," she added. She also cleans the alley and streets near her Midway-area home, prompting many neighbors to ask, jokingly, if she's on the city's payroll.
Vicich attributes her longevity to a lifetime of hard work, a busy social agenda and, of course, her Croatian blood.
Now she can also credit a newly approved heart procedure that spared her the risks associated with open-heart surgery, and put the spring back in her step.
"Given how well she's doing," said Dr. Nouri Al-Khaled, her cardiologist at the Oak Lawn medical center. "I'd say she could live to be 125."
"What, 125?" she said, turning to him and gasping. "Do you know what I'll look like by then?"
On Nov. 29, Vicich became only the fifth patient at Christ and likely "the oldest in the world," Al-Khaled said, to undergo a transcatheter aortic valve replacement or TAVR.
The procedure, recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, enables a team of surgeons and cardiologists to replace the aortic valve without opening the chest and without requiring heavy anesthesia, which Al-Khaled said can increase the risk of complications in elderly patients.
Vicich's age made her a good candidate for the procedure. So did the fact that but for a deteriorating valve, she'd been in pretty good shape. She said she has a lifetime of factory jobs, including one in which she shook barrels of peanuts en route to becoming peanut butter, to thank for that.
Similar to angioplasty, when a patient undergoes a TAVR, a balloon catheter is inserted into the groin and threaded to the heart. Once it reaches the damaged aortic valve, the balloon is inflated and an attached new valve is inserted.
Though it sounds simpler and is indeed less risky than traditional open-heart surgery, Al-Khaled said about 27 specialists, including a team of surgeons and cardiologists, were in the operating room during the procedure, just in case.
Though they expected everything to go fine, Al-Khaled said doctors were prepared to perform open-heart surgery if anything were to go wrong.
"We take every case with great seriousness," he said.
Vicich grew up just south of Springfield, the oldest of eight children.
"I was a coal miner's daughter," she said. She'd just finished eighth grade when a cousin visiting from Chicago offered to bring her to the big city and find her a job.
She was only 14 but the prospect of earning $12 to $14 a week was too good to pass up. In addition to the peanut factory, she worked for a time making ties. She was once chosen to make the ties in a store window so the public could see the craftsmanship.
She met her husband, Joseph Vicich, at a lodge she had joined. The couple went on to have two children, Arleen, who lives in Yorkville with her husband, and Joseph Jr., who died of leukemia.
Joseph Sr. died in 1995.
Vicich was a steward for Kerr Canning Co. in Chicago when she retired at age 65.
Though she doesn't earn a paycheck anymore and despite the fact that she never learned to drive, her lifestyle could exhaust someone half her age.
In addition to playing bingo weekly and chatting things up with the "handsome" man at the nearby Burger King, Vicich said, "I belong to nine clubs; I used to be in 13." There's the Jolly Seniors, the Golden Age group and the Heritage Club, to name a few.
When Vicich told Al-Khaled, her longtime physician, late last summer that she was experiencing shortness of breath, he knew then she'd be a good candidate for the procedure. But it was brand new. He needed more tests to make sure she could withstand the operation and that she met the anatomical criteria — same valve size, same vessel size, etc.
By the time the logistics were ready, Vicich was so short of breath, she could barely make it from the bedroom to the bathroom.
Al-Khaled suggested the procedure.
"I couldn't make up my mind about that," Vicich said. "So I asked him to tell me what to do and you know what he said? He said, 'You're playing with a full deck so you have to make this decision on your own.' "
She opted to have it done, and then promptly made plans for her funeral.
"I was getting my panties and my booties ready for the casket," she said.
Together with her longtime friend, Beverly Czech, she began packaging up holiday gift boxes of nuts, which Czech was directed to distribute at Christmas to Vicich's many friends.
"I had boxes for my friends and for all the people who drive me around and help me," Vicich said.
"Everything was ready," Czech said.
It was all for naught. Not only did Vicich breeze through the procedure, she was up and smiling that very night.
"She's made a spectacular recovery," Al-Khaled said, patting Vicich's hand.
"That's a Croatian for you," she said.
Her sense of humor remained intact throughout the ordeal. After her surgery, Vicich said, a parade of doctors came through her room, wanting to examine the incision in her leg and see how the new procedure had taken effect.
"There were so many doctors all picking up my sheet, I said, 'I should put a tip basket in here.' Why should they get a free peek?" she said.
The doctor-patient bond is so strong that one time, when Vicich learned her HMO insurance no longer would allow her to see Al-Khaled, she paid for her visits out of pocket, and when selection time came around again, she switched to a PPO.
"Irene is not only a close friend, she's like a relative," Al-Khaled said. "I wanted to make sure we did whatever we had to do to ensure she would come through."

"You know, when you were messing around with me?" she said.
"Not the way I'd put it," he interrupted, smiling.
"Well, what happened to the old valve, the one you replaced?" she said.
Al-Khaled explained that the new valve was inserted inside the old one, pushing the old one against the vessel wall.
"It won't bother you anymore," he said.
"I'm a recycled teenager," Vicich concluded, to which Al-Khaled retorted, "I think you're the bionic woman."
