Behind the scenes of "Every Third Thursday" with Signal Snowboard's founder Dave Lee
Season 4 of "Every Third Thursday" has officially begun, with the premiere episode taking snowboarding to new depths— literally. The boys over at Signal Snowboard wondered whether or not oceanic pressure could function as a pneumatic press, and so naturally they created a board and proceeded to sink it 100 feet below the surface of New Zealand's Milford Sound. Every episode of ETT centers on testing crazy new snowboard creations— the concept of a glass board, for example, was undertaken in Season 3, and apparently this season calls for a snowboard fit for shredding sand dunes.
We sat down with Signal Snowboard founder Dave Lee to ask him a few questions regarding the past, present, and future of both Signal Snowboards and "Every Third Thursday" to find out just what awesome experiments we have to look forward to in Season 4.
Give me a bit of background on Every Third Thursday— how did the series get its start?
The original thought behind it was to share the factory and process. We would give people a tour of our factory or build a board with a friend and they would always leave the factory so excited and wanting to share this experience. So, that gave us the thought to build interesting boards once a month as a web series. We wanted to constantly learn from this process as well, so that's where all the crazy ideas stem from; what can we learn, what materials can we use, and how far can we push an idea out there.
Of all of the ETT episodes, which is your favorite, and why?
The Adaptive Snowboard is still my personal favorite. I had a pretty serious back injury from snowboarding in '98 and the thought of creating a snowboard that can allows shredders with spinal cord injuries to get back out there makes me really happy. We are still working on the final concept actually.
What is the season 4 premiere episode all about?
Under Pressure is all about the challenge of building a snowboard without a pneumatic press and using the atmospheric pressure of the ocean to squeeze and form the materials together. Think about it, if you can do this, anyone can build a snowboard with a deep enough body of water without a major piece of factory equipment.
What inspired you to undertake an experiment like this?
This inspiration came from an avid ETT watcher's email. He's a professional diver who grew up snowboarding. While he's been guiding and discovering the underwater seas, he realized the pressure under the ocean might just work to press a snowboard together.
If the oceanic pressure is indeed enough to take the place of a pneumatic press, would this process ever be a viable option for making snowboards?
Why not? I'm not sure if it's a viable option, but it definitely is an option. If you want to make a snowboard for yourself and don't own a factory, it's a fun way to experiment with ideas.
Looking ahead into season 4, what are some other plans you have in the works? What can viewers look forward to seeing?
We are working on a desert ride, breaking a world record, and we'll be building another very clear board, although it won't be made of glass.
Of all the awesome creations that have come out of ETT— the glass board, for example— which would you choose as the most interesting?
The glass board was really interesting and such a cool process with a material you just wouldn't expect to see as a snowboard. After that build we now know we can make a stronger version that would hold up, but this was bringing a dream to reality and we saw this more as rideable art.
With a host of snowboarding edits now being filmed in places like Dubai, what is your opinion of snowboarding in the desert?
My opinion is that it's fun to take a personal passion like snowboarding and take it with you on other adventures. The desert is on our radar as well, but not in hopes of creating a new sport, rather to enjoy the feeling of trying something new. Where it goes from there, it's hard to say.
We've heard through the grapevine that there may be a world-record breaking attempt in the works— what can you tell me about that? Any spoilers?
We have to try and break a world record! It will either be the longest snowboard in the world or the fastest. We'll see when we start preparing.
Signal Snowboards is one company that continues to manufacture its boards in the US— what is the reasoning behind this decision?
We love to build things – it's that simple. It's also very important to us that our boards come from us. That's why we pour every part of who we are into the final product.

Iliasssm - Ultimatum For My Sexless Same-sex Marriage - HelpNever posted here before. First of all thank you all for your stories -- finding this gave me the words for what I was going through and some of the courage and self-esteem that I needed to make this drastic step.
I'll try to put just the essential, because so much of what I feel has been said more eloquently elsewhere in this forum, but it's still long, bear with me:
I am a gay man, early 30s, I think I am really quite cute, I stay in good shape, doing sports and going to the gym. Of course tastes differ but there is no particular reason to reject me, and I never lacked boyfriends. Two years ago, I started dating a guy and we practically moved in together in less than a month (I was also feeling REALLY vulnerable after an unpleasant career change -- did it affect my judgment, I now wonder). I had a few qualms about his lifestyle -- so much drinking and partying, not much ambition -- but he was fun and affectionate and a wonderful cook and I just went along with it. He was the exact same age as me and I thought he was hot, definitely the most handsome guy I had dated. Sex was PRETTY GOOD -- not the best of my life -- but it was enough and good enough to keep me going. He initiated it as often as I did. We had sex several times a week which was enough for me, sometimes I even turned him down, imagine! Seems like another lifetime. I had some doubts about some aspects of the relationship but let's stick with the sex part, I don't think all the rest is relevant.
Flash forward to a year later: I suppress my doubts and we actually get married. A lot of it was romance, but there was also the fact that his student visa was running out so if we didn't get married he would have to leave the country (Canada). So we certainly got married out of love, but with a little more urgency and a little faster than we may have otherwise. I started sponsoring him for immigration to Canada, and spousal sponsorship can take a year and a half to complete here.
About six months into the relationship and about six months before the marriage, sex started to dwindle. A little bit at first: he started a tough physical job, we both liked to drink and party so sometimes on the weekends we would be hung over and even though I would still have been be up for sex, he would brush me off saying he felt like crap and he didn't feel like it. I was disappointed but OK. Then during the week we were both tired from work. Again I would have wanted sex but I let it go. The days would just fly by without sex, and suddenly it was once a week or once every two weeks. In parallel, he also seemed less affectionate - fewer hugs, fewer carresses. I was embarrassed to talk about sex directly, but I started insisting that I needed more. I asked him if he was bored or didn't find me attractive anymore. I asked him if he wanted to mix it up, change the way we had sex. He response was absolutely not but that he wanted some things from me, he wanted me to clean more -- even though I work twice as many hours as he does and I pay 2/3 of the rent. But I said I would make an effort to do it, I set up a schedule for myself. But that was the first alarm bell - he's using sex as a kind of ***-for-tat negotiation -- as if he is doing me a favor by having sex with me. So if I don't clean enough, it is OK to withhold sex as a punishment? For me, affection and sex are the basis of the relationship -- our "bad habits" that we can negotiate about should be separate.
The wedding comes and goes. I am making a bit effort to clean and do things he asked and still no sex and no other changes I asked for. So I stop holding up my side of the "changes". I start fighting more, reproaching him. I tell him he is killing me with his rejection, and my anger grows with the weeks of forced abstinence punctuated by once-monthly or twice-monthly, half-hearted sex. I make an extra effort to look good whenever he is around, I dress well, I look good, nothing. I try being sweet, I try getting angry, I try threatening, I try saying nothing. Nothing works. When we are alone he barely even turns to look at me, or talks to me he is just on the computer all the time. If I touch him he says "What are you doing" or has an excuse, either a hangover or tired from work, or saving his energy because he's going to work the next day. All BS excuses I am starting to think. He is constantly belittling and criticizing me, including in front of our friends. When we fight he destroys my stuff and doesn't replace it. If I tell him about things I need in the relationship his answers are like "oh shut up", "**** off", etc. In comparison, if he criticizes something about me I say okay I will try to fix it. I accuse him of playing some kind of passive-aggressive mind game with me but he says no he is just stressed out from work, immigration, etc. Again sounds like excuses to me -- those things were more stressful and less resolved a year ago.
For a long time I felt I couldn't leave because if we separate I am taking away his immigration rights. He would have to leave Canada. I gave him my word after all. But if I sponsor him I am legally responsible for him for three years, if he goes on welfare or something I will be billed. Right now I have a card in my hands and he treats me like garbage, but as soon as the immigration goes through he will have all the power and I will be able to do nothing about it. That scares me.
My psychologist tells me that I have low self-esteem, that I can't stand up for myself. He's right.
Then last week after three more weeks of sexual rejection and fighting, something snapped in me. Maybe reading this forum. I took our pets and I moved out to a friend's house. I texted him and called him every name in the book, told me that I am not his doormat and he has rejected me one too many times. I've been gone a week and we have an appointment with a couple's therapist. I told my spouse that I am not going to stay in a sexless loveless marriage and that I am not going to sponsor him for immigration and be legally responsible for him for years when he treats me like *$ and I get nothing in return. I told him that I was freezing the immigration application (not true, I don't have the guts and it seems too cruel).
So here I am sleeping on an air mattress at a friend's house. My husband is more social than me so a lot of our friends are originally his friends, I was afraid of losing my whole social circle if I leave. But some of our friend's reactions to my action have been surprisingly positive, like "teach him a lesson". Everyone expects us to get back together and I guess I do too.
I feel stronger now, like I could potentially handle it on my own. I feel less shame at disappointing everyone's expectations so soon after the wedding. I don't want to be forced to stay with him for the immigration thing, I have so much resentment over his sexual rejection that I am almost ready to face the option of filing for a divorce and cancelling the application if it doesn't work out.
So we are going to meet with the couples therapist several times in the near two weeks. I have told him and my spouse all this and my question to you is: what do I do in the next two weeks? I told my husband I won't come back unless things change, but I can't stay at my friend's forever. My spouse is shocked by what I have done and let's say he becomes a little nicer and more sexual. How do I know the change is real?If we try to reconcile, how do I do it, should I try and visit him for sex, or have him visit me? Just move back home right away and try it? If I just go back and he starts the rejection again, he'll just dismiss me as being emotional and acting out. But I want a real change or to end it.
I don't know what to do !!! What exactly should I ask for concretely before moving back? What should count as "a real change"? I'm so confused, and scared of the future. I don't want it to end, I don't want to ruin his life, but I don't want to ruin mine either!
Your advice would be much appreciated.
Just giving this a bump up, in the hope that Jean might give us an update.
As a fellow Canadian, I just want to add this comment:
Please forgive the gender biases in that linked article.
His breaking things is likely a punishment for disobedience for you, not a loss of control. Not certain about that, but breaking your stuff and not replacing it strikes me as another way to control and punish you.
The speed that y'all got together with, too, that's another red flag for a potentially battering spouse.
...You aren't realizing it right now, but you have the whip hand here.
All you have to do is withdraw the sponsorship, and he's gonna be deported...
Though I'd suggest that this might be the primary reason he's currently ONLY emotionally abusing you.
...I suggest you have, not just an exit plan, but a place to flee to if he starts hitting you or being sexually abusive.
Based on the 6th reply, by you, to your comment 2 comments back, you have drilled down to the real reason you haven't dumped this bloke way before now.
"What would people think ????"
Consider these points, if you like.
1 - although this is a big drama to you (and rightly so) you won't find that too many other "people" are staying up nights worrying about it. "People" spend a whole lot less time thinking about us than we think they do.
2 - were you to dump this dude, I bet it will cause great consternation, and speculation about the "why" amongst your nearest and dearest for a little while. You can manage that by telling them first, and "why" if you feel like it eg - "it turned out he was a mooch, and never loved me" might be a general thing you could offer up. There ought not be any more than a handful of people who fit that nearest and dearest criteria.And if they are that nearest and dearest they will be supporting you. (If they don't, then you scrub them from your nearest and dearest list)
Those people a little further out in your orbit can find out on the grapevine. Again, that will cause great consternation and discussion for ...... well, several minutes, mebbe an hour, before more pressing matters - like who will win "Canadian Idol" - become their focus.
If there is one guiding principle to keep in mind here, it is this
(A) - are you prepared to make an informed choice here (to end it) and perhaps be regarded as being a bit of an idiot by "people" for a short time ?
(B) - are you prepared to stay in a dysfunctional situation to bolster up what you think are other peoples perceptions about your marriage and wear the ongoing pain of that. In the full knowledge that as soon as it suits his "me" agenda, this dude is going to drop you like a bad habit.
Your choice.
Choice is a *****, but no-one gets a pass on it.
Tread your own path.
As pointed out before SEE A LAWYER. Establish how a divorce would shake out in your jurisdiction (and how the residency issue will affect that) and from that information craft an exit strategy, and knock it into do-able shape.
There, is your alternate position, your 'safety net', your 'insurance policy'.
And from that position of strength and certainty you can deliver a meaningful ultimatum. Without a viable alternative, you issue an ultimatum from a position of weakness and uncertainty. Doing the latter, is likely to be a big **** up.
"I want to tell him he has one last chance to give me love and sex -- but how???"
It is one thing to talk to a spouse about how you need more physical affection and sex in a marriage. It's quite another to tell a spouse to love you. You can't make anyone love you and no one can force themselves to love you. It sounds like it was never there. It sounds like what you had (or at least what he HAD for you) was lust- and that has fell away. So now you are left with this fakeness, in it's place, in order for him to be granted citizenship.
As far as being embarrassed (and that's all it is- so please recognize this) in front of friends and family that this isn't working, approach it as something you are PROUD of. Let people know that you went into this with the best intentions, you gave it your all. But that you won't let ANYONE use you and take advantage of you and drain you and neglect you so you are ending this marriage so you can move on and better yourself. If these are your true friends, you will be met with comfort and support.
I'm always feeling like it's sketchy when these visa inspired relationships suddenly turn sour. Maybe because I've heard of this happening SO often that it sends automatic red flags to me. So, even taking that out of the picture, his actions SCREAM selfishness. But adding that into the mix...the whole thing sounds doomed.
My hope for you is that this experience doesn't leave you financially responsible for someone that tricked you. :(
I'm sorry, that should have read "visa inspired marriages."
Why would you be interested in 'trying again' a dynamic that had no "we" in it ?
Do you still believe there was - or is - a "we" component to the relationship ? On what evidence would you base that position ?
This ain't then. This is now.
uh, he was setting a snare and baiting it.......
I'd tell 'em, but I'm generally a fount of TMI
"How can I face my colleagues and my parents and tell them I am divorcing so soon after the wedding they came to? "
I think this is really your issue. We ALL make mistakes. Give back presents as you can, make your apologies, and MOVE ON. Don't add mistake on top of mistake!!! YOU WILL PAY TO STAY WITH YOUR MISTAKE
On what you have revealed, there is no "we" in this dynamic.
Your bloke makes his choices on a basis of "me" and "me" alone. And, that's fair enough when you are on your own with no responsibilties to anyone bar yourself.
It is however poison in a marriage.
However, if he is so keen to continue on a course of "me" thinking, then you should do everything you can to assist him find an environment where this thinking is appropriate.
On his ******* own.
Dump him.
There is no "we" here.
Tread your own path.
Sounds like you have been used.
I liken the 3-year clause, being responsible for your husband's sponsorship, as the same thing as a child. It's extra responsibility you can AVOID by doing what is right for you NOW.
"during that time I'm not supposed to have sex with anyone else during that year or it's still "adultery"...nice."
WTF?? I live in Canada and that's NOT TRUE. Where did you hear that bs? GO SEE A LAWYER.
Oh yeah, your "husband" is a user, he's using you to get into Canada, and it couldn't be plainer if he wrote it in 10 foot letters on your forehead.
Let's say he agrees to "treat you nicer/ have sex with you" now that you've pulled the "divorce/immigration" card on him - you will NEVER know if he's treating you nicer just to get that paperwork done - and you KNOW (well I CAN TELL FROM YOUR STORY 110%) he is going to turn around and DING YOU FOR EVERY PENNY for the following 3 years once the paperwork comes in!!!!
If you listen to CBC you will have heard this EXACT story just a couple weeks ago - straight couple, man marries woman, soon as paper comes in she dumps his a** and he's paying for her for THREE YEARS!!!
Do you have that money to burn????
Go and divorce his sorry a**, find yourself someone who love you for YOU, and move ON with your life.
Thanks for clarifying the adultery bit. I'm also in Canada and was thinking that it sounded antiquated. I wonder if depends on which province one lives?
Just did some research, and according to THIS website, homosexual acts NEVER qualify as "adultery" under Canadian law anyways! Because in Canada, the act of adultery requires the possibility of reproduction:
VERY interesting! And biased, yes? So if I separated from my husband, and have sex with somebody, even if I am using birth control, it would be considered adultery?
I could have misinterpreted the link. It is interesting.
My other research indicates that you can have sex with whomever you choose once separated, it does NOT count towards "divorce based on adultery", but CONSULT A LAWYER IN YOUR JURISDICTION TO BE SURE (IANAL)

Since Jerryd Bayless became Arizona's first one-and-done basketball player, he has been harder to track than D.B. Cooper.
Where is Jerryd Bayless? Here are some clues:
He has played for the following head coaches: Nate McMillan, Jay Triano, Dwane Casey, Lionel Hollins, Dave Joerger and Brad Stevens.
That's six coaches in six years.
In the NBA, Bayless has worn jersey numbers 4, 5, 7, 11 and 32. At Arizona he wore jersey No. 0, but who remembers that?
He has started 59 of a possible 492 NBA regular-season games and is currently unemployed, a free agent at 25, when he should be hitting his basketball prime.
We'll never know if Bayless betrayed his development by leaving Arizona after one season — the fractious Kevin O'Neill year — but the penetrating web site basketball-reference.com compares Bayless' NBA career most closely to that of Sonny Hertzberg.
Sonny Hertzberg? He was a guard from CCNY who played for the 1950s' Knicks and Celtics.
That can't be what Jerryd Bayless had in mind when he left school in April 2008.
Many NBA players get fabulously wealthy on their much-coveted "second contract." Ex-Wildcat Richard Jefferson's second contract was worth $62 million.
By comparison, Bayless' second deal, which just expired, was $6.2 million. The decimal points aren't in the same place.
I bring this to your attention because the deadline for early entry into the 2014 NBA Draft expired over the weekend and 63 young men, much like Bayless in 2008 and Jefferson in 2001, signed up.
Bayless rushed his NBA process the way last year's Pac-12 early-entrees did.
UCLA's Shabazz Muhammad, who spent part of the year with the D-League's Iowa Energy, did not appear in 47 of the Minnesota Timberwolves' 82 games.
Cal's Allen Crabbe scored 33 points for the Portland Trail Blazers. Not in one game. In one season.
Colorado's Andre Roberson scored 75 points for the Oklahoma City Thunder — and 270 for the D-League's Tulsa 66ers.
The one-and-done culture (and parts thereof) has become so encompassing that it now requires serious study to stay abreast of NBA teams and their rosters. That's why I lost track of Bayless. Did you know he played for the Boston Celtics this year?
He's the Suitcase Simpson of the NBA.
I'm not much of an NBA follower, but I turned on the Toronto-Brooklyn playoff game over the weekend expecting to see Bayless.
Instead, I saw the Raptors' Nando de Colo.
It was an awakening. The NBA is now populated by so many one-and-done collegians, and by so many foreign players, that you have no frame of reference.
Nicolas Batum? Have you seen this guy play? He's terrific. I thought he played for the Pelicans. Nope. He's a Blazer.
Bayless is one of 13 Pac-12 players who left school after his freshman season. More than half became productive and wealthy, especially Kevin Love, DeMar DeRozan, Trevor Ariza, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Spencer Hawes, Jrue Holiday and O.J. Mayo.
The only true one-and-done busts from the Pac-12 have been Cal center Jamal Sampson, who started five games in a brief NBA career, and USC forward Davon Jefferson, who is playing in South Korea.
Thus, the odds are strong that Arizona's Aaron Gordon and UCLA's Zach LaVine, two of nine freshmen on the early-entry list of 63, will ultimately become useful (and wealthy) NBA players.
It's often the upperclassmen, not the freshmen, who make the most egregious decisions to leave college basketball.
A year ago, Ohio State substitute forward LaQuinton Ross drained a wide open three-pointer with 2.1 seconds remaining to beat Arizona in the Sweet 16, 73-70. Ross returned for his junior year, became a starter, and averaged 15 points a game.
Good player. One career moment. Limited draft appeal.
Ross is projected by most draft boards to be a mid-second round selection.
The man who failed to guard Ross on that season-ending three-pointer, Grant Jerrett, turned pro after his freshman season, the most shocking one-and-done in Pac-12 history.
Jerrett now sits on the Oklahoma City Thunder bench, in civvies, waiting to suit up for his first NBA game.
Sonny Hertzberg he ain't.

Rosen Aviation is "refreshing" its entire display product line to high-definition, from seven-inch seat monitors to 42-inch bulkhead-mounted variants.
According to Jeff Unger, v-p of engineering and business development, the entire line of display screens will be full high-definition by year-end.
Unger said the Eugene, Ore.-based firm is also keeping a close eye on 3-D technology, including systems that do not require special glasses.
Rosen's entire line will be on exhibit at this year's NBAA Convention, to be held from October 30 to November 1 in Orlando.

THE Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster has a new Moderator – Ballymena cleric the Rev John Greer.
The leadership change was confirmed at a meeting of the church's Ulster presbytery in Lurgan on Friday night, with 58-year-old Mr Greer taking over from Newtownards minister the Rev Ron Johnstone, who was Moderator for four-and-a-half years, after succeeding the denomination's founder the Rev Dr Ian Paisley.
Mr Greer, a Ballymena man, has been in the Free Presbyterian ministry for 34 years, having been installed in Sixmilecross, Co Tyrone, in 1978.
In 1983, he moved to Philadelphia in Pennsylvania to establish another branch of the Free Presbyterian Church in the United States and spent 17 years of meaningful ministry there.
He returned to Northern Ireland in 2000 to take charge of the thriving Ballymena congregation on the retirement of the Rev James Beggs, a brother-in-law of Dr Paisley.
There are 60 Free Presbyterian congregations in Ireland, with an approximate worshipping membership of 15,000.
Three congregations are located in the Republic. Ballymena is one of the foremost churches, with 300 families.
Mr Greer, father of six children – three boys and three girls – says he sees his Moderator's role as essentially being chairman of the Ulster presbytery, fully representative, as it is, of the various Free Presbyterian congregations around the country.
"My ministerial and moderatoral goals are entirely spiritual and Biblical, with a concentration on missionary and youth work," he said. "Our aim is to advance Christ's kingdom through our active church witness."
His daughter Joanne is a Free Presbyterian Church missionary in Liberia, West Africa.
The new Deputy Moderator is the Rev Alan Smylie, minister of Ballygowan church.
Under new rules adopted by the Free Presbyterian Church, a Moderator can only seek re-election over three years and serve three consecutive yearly terms.
Tributes were paid at Friday night's meeting to the service of outgoing Moderator, Mr Johnstone.

Institutions offering coaching classes for admission to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have been quick to sniff business opportunities in the new norms for entrance examinations to these. Some have already increased fees, citing additional expenses on preparing study material for board examinations.
Yesterday, it was decided that from 2013, there would be a single entrance examination for admission to the IITs, the International Institutes of Information Technology and the National Institutes of Technology. Equal weightage would be given to marks secured in Class XII Board examinations and performance in the entrance test.
Coaching institute IITian's Pace already has an integrated programme for the IIT-JEE entrance test and Class XI and XII examinations, through its junior colleges in Mumbai. Managing Director Praveen Tyagi says, "The decision has come as a boon for us, as we have already been offering coaching for Board examinations. About 90 per cent of the new admissions are for the integrated programmes." He added there was a rise of 20 per cent in the institute's fees in April, owing to investment needed for material for Board examinations.
Rao IIT Academy also plans a 10 per cent rise in fees for the batch appearing for the IIT entrance test this year. Chandan Dikshit, planning and strategy head, says the fee increase would help provide aggressive coaching for Board examinations.
Triumphant Institute of Management Education Director Manek Daruwala said there would be no impact on the institution, as students here were already tutored for Board examinations. "We just need to be more involved with schools for Class XII preparation," he said. For now, the institute would not increase fees.
Major institutes such as Career Point in Kota already began offering coaching for Class XI and XII examinations from January. "The new pattern, which gives 50 per cent weightage to Board examination marks, will actually increase business in the tutorial space," said chief executive Pramod Maheshwari. The institution would not increase fees this year.

text: We know that Nadal is 0-2 against Blake, who plays with a 13.4-oz racquet. And now he is 1-2 against Berdych. Anyone have specs on Berdych's racquet? By the way the ball comes off his racquet, I would guess that his racquet is in the 13-oz range. Anyway, it's no secret that a heavier racquet works much better against heavy spin. If Nadal's style becomes more popular on tour, I expect that the heavy-frame players will rise as well, since they are naturally better able to counter high rpm shots.

Tourism In London

I have the original box, reciept, guarantee certificate, leather case and slide rule. It is practically mint condition as i dont think it was ever used.
Can someone tell me more about it? Is it worth anything with the box and literature? What year did they make these? Any info will help.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
Hi and thanks for your question.
In order for me to better answer, I want to make sure that I am understanding you correctly. When you say "she" wants total control and that "she" will do what she pleases that you are talking about the woman with whom you had the affair? And the child support question is child support for the new baby, correct?
I will look forward to hearing back from you.
Thanks for that information.
You are absolutely right, as a legal parent, you would have parental rights and responsibilities to your child. You will need to be named on the birth certificate as the father and execute an Acknowledgment of Paternity once the baby is born so that you do have legal parental rights to the baby. If you don't do this, and if she is contesting this, you would need to request that the court make a finding of paternity, at which point you can then petition for custody rights.
The rights would include physical such as custody or visitation schedule and decision-making regarding your child, the right to weigh in on medical, educational and religious decisions for example, as well as day to day decisions while the child is in your care.
The responsibilities would be financial such as paying child support if you are the non-custodial parent and she is the custodial parent (meaning the child is primarily residing with her), paying for health insurance and uninsured expenses.
Here is an on-line child support calculator for the state of Texas so that you can input the proper numbers and determine what your child support obligation will likely be.
I hope that this answers your question; if so, please click the green Accept button. Thanks very much and I wish you well here.
I just noticed that the website to the TX child support calculator didn't attach to my last post. Sorry about that.
Here it is - just click on the link to "Child Support Calculator" on the left.

SANTA CRUZ -- I experienced my first Hawaiian plate lunch 20 years ago, while visiting friends on Oahu. Taking one look at the mountain of spareribs, twin islands of white rice and super-scoop of macaroni salad, I asked, "This is for how many people?"
Because I love all things Hawaiian, including plate lunch, I was excited to hear that L&L Hawaiian Barbecue was coming to town. This restaurant chain started in Honolulu in 1976; now there are nearly 200, including ones in New Zealand and Japan. Everybody needs lau lau, brah.
You can't miss L&L: It occupies the fiercely orange building at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Eaton Street. Inside, Hawaiian photos and a big painting of a wave occupied neon-bright, multicolored walls. When Tom and I walked in, the strong smell of grease made us promptly stake a claim on the deck outside, where lime-green umbrellas shielded black metal tables and chairs.
"There must be a ventilation issue," Tom said.
We placed our orders with two counter people who were civil but not much more. As Tom and I asked questions about the menu, which has a number of choices, some of their answers were unclear, and one of the women seemed bored.
"I'm not feeling the aloha spirit," I told Tom.
From a choice of seafood, chicken, pork and beef combination plates, we chose the Lau Lau and Kalua Pork Combo [$9.50]. Deciding to skip the saimin noodles, musubi [seaweed-wrapped rice and meat, including Spam] and burgers, we selected a side of Beef Shortribs [$2.50] and a BBQ Chicken "Healthy Plate" [$7.25] with brown rice and a salad. Steamed vegetables can be substituted for rice or macaroni on any dish, and there was even a "Hawaiian Atkins" low-carb barbecue plate.
The outside deck was quite pleasant, barring unmuffled Harleys thundering by on Seventh Avenue. Relaxing with our drinks -- Hawaiian Sun Green Tea [$1.45] and Grapefruit-Cranberry Sobe [$1.45] -- we discussed our somewhat disappointing experience so far.
"This is fast food, after all," Tom said.
"Yes, but Hawaiian fast food," I answered.
When our tabletop buzzer alerted us, we fetched the food in its paper clamshell containers. Our favorite item, leis down, was the kalua pork tossed with fresh cabbage. Lean, tender and subtly smoky, the roasted pulled pork won our hearts, particularly with its crunchy cabbage accent. The accompanying french fries were tasty, although slightly underdone, but the white rice was lumpy and disappointing.
My lau lau looked perfect, its ti leaf wrapper tied neatly around a generous package of earthy steamed taro leaves and meaty pieces of pork. Although both Tom and I each found a hunk of fat in the pork, we both enjoyed the lau lau and spinach-like taro. The big slice of spareribs was also overly fatty [and hard to cut with our plastic utensils] but the meat was lusciously smoky-sweet.
Our grilled chicken, two big strips, was rather nondescript under a too-salty teriyaki sauce. The side salad, however, rewarded us with fresh, crisp greens and a delicious dressing that was slightly sweet with a hint of sesame oil and garlic. A scoop of forgettable brown rice also came with the chicken, plus a mound of macaroni salad that tasted authentically Hawaiian: loaded with mayonnaise and kicked up with a little onion. Mega-mayo mac salad is an acquired taste but I found it nostalgically appealing.
I enjoy Hawaiian comfort food as much as the next wahine; L&L's kalua pork is enough to lure me back, even without the tasty lau lau and spareribs. But unless that ventilation system is improved, I'll be sitting outside.

More about L&L
Honolulu's original L&L Drive-Inn became a franchise in Hawaii 10 years before it was reconfigured for the mainland, hitting California in 1999 as L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. The Santa Cruz franchise, owned by Willy Wong, opened on July 4.
Some of the items on L&L's menu that might be unfamiliar to mainlanders:
Loco moco: Something like Hawaiian eggs Benedict, two hamburger patties on a base of rice topped with beef gravy and two fried eggs; this dish was supposedly invented to satisfy hungry Hilo teenagers
Musubi: A block of white rice and a piece of meat - Spam, Portuguese sausage, chicken katsu, barbecue chicken - wrapped in nori (seaweed)
Saimin: Medium-thick noodles, sliced scallions and a choice of meat and vegetables in a thin soup broth
Chicken katsu: Hawaiian chicken fingers; boneless chicken, seasoned and deep-fried, served with dipping sauce
Poi: A thick paste made from the corm of the taro plant; if you like this purplish, viscous delicacy you're on your way to becoming an honorary islander
Haupia: This traditional Hawaiian dessert is a sweet coconut cream pudding, firm enough to be cut and served in squares

Swatches, Swatches, Everywhere!
Here's a great set of blogger reviews and swatches of the NEW Zoya PixieDust Collection for Summer 2013…
"Perfect summery shades for sure and I am still totally into this textured nail trend. I think the stand-out shades are Solange, Stevie and Beatrix. I love that these textured polishes tend to dry so much faster than a regular one and usually only require two coats." – Vampy Varnish
See the full collection of summer swatches from Vampy Varnish HERE.
"Miranda is a rose sparkle with a ton of magenta POW. This is my favorite shade out of the bunch. I just love juicy fruit punch-y shades like this." – Clumps of Mascara
Full collection swatches and review from Clumps of Mascara can be found HERE.
"Every color from this collection was easy to work with and only took 2 coats to become opaque. I didn't use a top coat or base coat for any of the colors, except with Liberty I did use a base coat because I was afraid it would stain. Zoya does recommend a base coat for Liberty that dries matte, like their Get Even base coat." – Oh Three Oh Four
Check out swatches of the entire collection – including ultra close up shots of the glitter & texture – from Oh Three Oh Four HERE.
"Zoya Solange is a metallic yellow-gold textured polish and my favorite of the bunch. It catches the light in the most beautiful ways, and is so glamorous on your nails" – Chalkboard Nails

Hi all,
Yesterday evening I moved a simulation from ADE L to ADE XL to perform some MonteCarlo runs.
As usual I imported the testbench settings into ADE XL and made a quick nominal run to see if all
my measurements still check out fine. Everythink was ok, therefore I moved on to MonteCarlo Mode.
And here the strangest thing happend. Depending on the status of the "Save Data to Allow Family Plots"
switch in the MonteCarlo "Other Option" field, some measurements fail while others don't. In fact the
behaviour is completely inverted. Measurements that fail with the switch turned on fail with the switch turned off,
and vice versa :( So I can't get a setting where all of my measurements are reporting results.
The measurements that work for switch turned on look like this:
average(getdata("nt_mir0:region" ?results 'dc))
The measurements that fails with switch turned on look like this:
value(v("/vout2" ?result 'dc) -40)
As mentioned before, if I switch the setting then the first measurement fails and the second is working ...
Also the normal simulation (ADE L and single run ADE XL) reports back all the measurement values.
The IC version I used is 188.8.131.520.9 on Linux.
I would be greatful for some pointers about what's happening here ...
Thank you
Best Regards
Not sure why this should be the case. Please contact customer support so that we can take a look.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks. I'll prepare a case and file it to customer support

Julian Apple Days Festival
When: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
Where: Menghini Winery, 1150 Julian Orchards Drive, Julian
Admission: $5 adults, free children 12 and younger
Phone: (619) 889-6222
Online: julianappledays.com
To the people who live in Julian, every day is an apple day. But during the harvest each fall, the townspeople find that folks from all over San Diego, Los Angeles and even Arizona look to celebrate everything apples right along with them.
And while Julian Apple Days has other events going on in September and October, the biggest party happens this weekend.
The festival: Julian's weekend-long Apple Days festival will have apple displays, an antique tractor display, children's games, gold-panning demonstrations, music, dancing, food, and a beer and wine garden. And, yes, there will be plenty of apple pie. If you go on Sunday, you'll see the coronation of Mr. and Mrs. Apple Days at 2 p.m.
The history: The first Apple Days was celebrated in 1909 after a Julian apple received a Wilder medal, the highest award given by the American Pomological Society. The party was a one-day event, but it was revived in 1949 as an annual festival that at times attracted 20,000 people.
Apple picking: Nowadays, about 5,000 people are expected to make the drive to the small mountain town, and many will be looking to pick fresh apples of their own. Though there are a handful of U-Pick orchards throughout Julian, the biggest one — Raven Hill Orchard — is located next door to the festival grounds.
And for those looking for fresh apples and pears without having to do the work, there will also be produce stands set up throughout town.
Extras: You'll get the complete small-town experience by heading to Julian's Town Hall at 1 and 7 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday for an old-fashioned comedy melodrama. The show is based on Julian's history and is staged by local actors. You'll also find historical skits, horse-and-carriage rides, and a pie-eating contest at the festival.
Cold snap: Festival organizers said it's been cold the last two years, despite warm weather in San Diego. Don't forget to bring sweaters, scarves and hats just in case the temperature drops.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Along with the Air Max 1 VT shown here yesterday, the Nike WMNS Air Max Thea has released in a new quickstrike colorway, together forming a special "Black Pack." The new Roshe-style runner features an all black upper with a suede heel, patent swoosh and elephant print Hyperfuse overlays, all on top of a sail white Phylon midsole.
The Nike WMNS Air Max Thea QS in Black / Sail is available now at Caliroots.


text: A girl I was chatting with wrote "buona notte bello...". I know buona notte means goodnight and wondered why bello was added. I am not sure what interpretation to put on it, whether it was a reference to me or whether it simply meant a beautiful good night. We have become close so either interpretation would be possible. Thanks

Getting Smart About Writing Grant Proposals
If you're looking for a quick and dirty way to win millions in grant funding, you're reading the wrong article. Proposal writing takes substantial time and effort. Funding, even for the best-laid plans, does not always materialize as a result. Though fully aware of this dilemma, many in our world continue to dream up programs, craft plans, and develop proposals. What's wrong with us? Not a thing; we know that effective planning provides the backbone for the most effective proposals and that the process of crafting such plans opens the door for strengthening existing organizations and building valuable partnerships—with or without additional funding.
Developing effective, sensible funding proposals depends on clearly understanding the characteristics of our organizations and their intentions for action. Describing each category of endeavor explicitly requires us to articulate our organizational strengths in communication, planning, and program development. An inventory of such assets naturally points to the areas in which we need further work or development. The very process of planning and writing a proposal, therefore, benefits our organizations and partnerships.
That's not to say that a proposal should simply fund a system already in place. After all, if nothing changes, nothing changes. Strategic planning ensures that we make best use of the resources—human and financial—in order to make changes that maximize our effectiveness. We position our team to make the most of grant funds, once awarded, as well as build consensus around achievable goals with or without funding.
Like most grants in education, Teaching American History (TAH) grants seek to improve student achievement. The request for TAH proposals states
The Teaching American History Grant Program supports projects that aim to raise student achievement by improving teachers' knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of traditional American history. Grant awards assist local educational agencies (LEAs), in partnership with entities that have extensive content expertise, to develop, implement, document, evaluate, and disseminate innovative, cohesive models of professional development. By helping teachers to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of traditional American history as a separate subject within the core curriculum, these programs are intended to improve instruction and raise student achievement.
The federal Department of Education essentially lays out their theory of change in this statement of purpose.
Increase teachers' knowledge with help from content folks to improve instruction and raise student achievement. The evaluation criterion follows this logic with requirements to measure teacher content knowledge and student learning.
While the feds provide this basic logic model, most in the field hold additional assumptions about getting from point A to point B. These assumptions guide program design, connecting activities to outcomes. It's no wonder that some of the least convincing proposals are those that simply parrot back the skeleton outline the funder outlines in an RFP.
This first phase of proposal planning requires a great deal more talking than writing. A collaborative planning process—including teachers and administrators from the local educational agency; representatives from the university, museum, library, or other organization in your partnership; and, ideally, your evaluator—defines objectives and designs a program's nuts and bolts.
Coherent programs seldom result from an isolated proposal writer because they simply cannot know your organizations they way you do. Even if an externally-created document presents a compelling case, it's the program staff of the partnership and the teachers they serve that have to live with the program design.
Creating a funding proposal that make sense both in writing and practice requires that we look deep inside each organization in the partnership. Sustainability means funding a system, not merely a model program that will go away when the funding dries up. With this in mind, we create opportunities to identify, challenge, and develop potential leaders within our organizations.
Is this kind of planning and proposal writing a lot of work? You bet. Communicating and planning intentionally have big payoffs, however. Certainly, proposals that result from the isolated endeavor of one individual who offers grant-writing services, or even one person within your organization with a pipedream and a way with words, do get funded.
The organically grown proposal, however, has major advantages. The process provides significant opportunities for partners to engage in the real and important work of planning. In addition to a program that is truly responsive to local needs and conditions, collaborative planning develops the partnership, an important precursor to developing teachers.
Please help me on my funding
Please help me on my funding proposal,I don't where to start.
From the Clearinghouse
From the Clearinghouse staff:
There's no question, funding proposals take a great deal of research and talking to people! One good place to start is with the funding agency itself. Visit the grant site at the Department of Education for a description of the grant and some how to information here:
The FAQs are a helpful place to start.
Then, look through the TAH section of the Clearinghouse website for examples of how people have approached this grant and what their programs are achieving.
And get a working group together to identify the needs of your area and who could and should be working to help teachers improve student achievement in American history. As this article points out, "effective planning provides the backbone for the most effective proposals."

I would like to convert it to a Williams, like I have on my Model 94. Has anyone done this? If so please post a picture.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, United Kingdom, 2007/05/30 - JISC RSC London, a supporter of education and research through the promotion of innovation in new technologies, recently used Wimbas Live Classroom and Voice Tools solutions along side its VLE, Moodle, to support London e-Learning Online (LEON).
The online conference enabled delegates to get a first-hand look at a variety of tools and technologies that can be applied to an online virtual environment. The conference also brought together a range of practitioners who shared their thoughts and reflections of their experiences while also sharing good practice.
Bernard Aghedo, e-Learning Adviser (Technical), for JISC Regional Support Centre for London said, On behalf of RSC London, I would like to thank Wimba for the help and support it so generously gave us for our week-long online conference. The conference was a huge success and the strand for which Live Classroom was used proved to be very popular with the delegates.
Highlights About the experience:
All in all - an excellent ground-breaking initiative.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this conference
This week was a great idea
I have found this week an inspiration to want to learn more.
It was not what I was expecting - it was much better! I cannot remember when I got this much fun from a conference.
Using the tools and technology:
I loved the Wimba Voice Tools
I agree it's about pedagogy, not technology
I got to see (and play with) great alternatives to whiteboards and death-by-PowerPoint.
Delegates were particularly impressed with Ron Mitchells (LSN London Region Coordinator) session using Wimba's Live Classroom Personalised Resources through Customisation.

Dallas Stars at Nashville Predators
7 p.m. today, FSSW+, KTCK-AM (1310)
Key matchup: Shea Weber vs. Vernon Fiddler
Fiddler has been on a roll, with two goals and five assists for seven points in the last four games. He will have to battle through Weber, his old Nashville teammate. In two games against the Stars this season, the defenseman has a goal, an assist, nine shots on goal, seven hits and is plus-3.

The Predators are 1-5-2 in their last eight games. … The Stars have goalie Kari Lehtonen (groin) with the team but will probably start Richard Bachman in goal. … Nashville ranks 30th in the NHL in shots on goal per game at 25.7.

looks GREAT! wtg!
Looks awesome! I got rid of a ton of excess dishes about a year ago, but we're having similar problems with too many dishes again. I actually came to this forum for advice on what to do with the extra cups that we DO use, but VERY rarely. This past week or two in the kitchen has been dominated by our excessive use of glasses/mugs. I want to just get rid of all of the extra cups and mugs, but I can't because, once in a blue moon(like, literally, 2-3 times per year) we have people over for tea, and I'd rather not keep disposables in the house. BUT, seeing your improvements made me think, when WAS the last time I used the cabinet above the fridge? Honestly, I couldn't even tell you what we've got in there, I'll have to look.
ETA: I love my Lodge cast iron. I have a big Wok and use it for fried rice and any kind of salen(including the wet part of biryani), and I also have a round griddle that is great for flatbreads/chapati, fried eggs, and toast. I would really like to add some cast iron bakeware to my collection in the future.
The other cookware that I use most often is a heavy steel pot(they don't burn food like the thinner pots do), one that is great for daily use for the three of us, I make chai, rice, pasta, boiled corn in it and a larger pressure cooker that I use more often without the lid than with. I've got a huge heavy steel pot for when I cook for a ton of people, and a smaller, super thin, pain in the behind pot that I prefer to only use for boiling water in because it gets burned so quickly.
Inspiring. Really love the idea of cutting down on dishes ready to box mine up now.
Learning to... and with myby my side!
Looks great! My problem with minimizing my kitchen is that I use almost everything in there. I cook for a crowd everyday and like good tools. Although I store the entertaining/holiday stuff and pantry food in the cellar.

I am deeply impressed with your photos. Your kitchen is really small, and you've done an amazing job of making it work.
I've been internally whining to myself that my current kitchen is too small to really be organized because it's smaller than our last kitchen. But it's bigger than yours. A lot bigger. You've got me to stop my whining and get seriousl about making it a more user friendly space for myself.
Thank you.
but everything has pros and cons
I'd like to get rid of our dish drying rack, and we have a dishwasher. BUT, I worry that the dishes will smell weird or not dry right in the dish washer. Do you have that problem? Maybe our bigger issue is DS playing in the dishwasher. We'd have to keep it closed to let the dishes dry.
Maybe I'll put the dish rack away and try it out for a day or so. Our counters are about the size of yours, and I'd really like some space!
Yes I do leave it open a lot for drying. Also I put a towel at the bottom when it's open so water doesn't collect in the door. I did notice a musty smell a few times, so I think I'm going to put some baking soda in. Also if you are worried about your son getting utensils like knives, you could put a cup or tray and keep them at the top rack.
Learning to... and with myby my side!
SO inspiring! Wow!!! We have a small kitchen, too, and I have to work really hard to keep enough counter space to work on. I'm inspired to start paring down on dishes to see how that helps with space -- we have a LOT of dishes, we inherited about 20 place settings from DH's grandmother, plus he has gazillions of mugs and glasses.
Here are some things I have done to help make my tiny kitchens manageable over the years:
- install very narrow shelving along a bare wall and store dry goods, small appliances, dishes, etc. on it. In one apartment, this shelving was simply 10-inch-wide boards stacked with cinderblocks. Simple and effective! I put beans/grains in glass jars (bought big ones at the thrift store, re-used pickle and peanut butter jars, etc) to store more easily, and smaller items were stored in pretty baskets on the shelves. This would not work with a toddler, of course!
- I refuse to keep single-use electric appliances, with the exception of the coffee pot. Coffee grinders, toasters, rice cookers, smoothie makers, electric hot-sandwich makers, etc., etc. you name it, I've received and gotten rid of it.
- We managed to get a bit more use out of our lower cabinets by installing a narrow shelf half-way up in the back -- the sort of shelf that can hold pot lids, for example, when the rest of the cabinet holds pots. Less cluttered, easier to find stuff. All of our small appliances -- blender, food processor and hand mixer -- fit on one of these shelves in one cabinet.
- Hanging wire baskets are the way to go! It is an amazing way to keep things out in easy reach but off your counters. I've used them to store bread, fruit, onions/garlic, cloth napkins, etc. This might be an interesting choice for the sugar bowl -- you'd just need to keep sugar in a jar with a screw-on lid, then toss the jar, a spoon and a coffee scoop into the wire basket.
One other cool idea: Ikea makes a storage system that goes under your cabinets for more storage. There's a great blog post here that describes the system.
Re:cast iron: one more vote in its favor. MUCH better than nonstick. I'm gonna try that trick with the eggs, I've always struggled to cook eggs in cast iron too. Rather than buying cast-iron new, why not get one at an antique mall or flea market? That's where we found ours, for a sweet $16 or so. They need less seasoning when they're old, plus there's less worry about flaky paint, etc. There's always tons of them at the antique stores we frequent.
We can't keep our dishwasher open during the day because DD climbs into it (and she can get at the knives even when we store them away on top...), but if we have stuff drying in there, we just open it before we go to bed. That way everything can dry well overnight! If we prefer to dry something on the counter, rather than keeping a bulky drying rack out there, we just spread a dishtowel on the counter, put the dishes on it to dry, and when we're done with it we put it away. This keeps the counter space much more useable, IME.
We had a ton of dishes that DH's parents left behind when they moved back overseas. Most of them were way too heavy for daily use, so we never used them. I freecycled most of it. We also had a ton of stuff that we weren't ever going to use from when we got married and I got rid of that too. We're down to a couple of each size dish, and a three drinking cups/three tea cups. AND, only 2 of each pice of silverware in each size(2 kid size spoons, 2 large sized spoons, 2 long handle spoons, 2 kid size forks, 2 large size forks, and 2 butter knives) I'm running into problems with out knifes. We have a knife block thing, and even though there is really only one size knife I use, it is the steak knife, and there are 8 of them. Currently, 5 are sitting in the sink waiting to get washed. But, otherwise it's been good! The longest it will take to wash the dishes is 20 min. It's a big difference from when I was pregnant with DS/he was a newborn because there was a time when we had a full sink, counter piled with dishes, stove piled with dishes, and in order to wash the dishes in the sink, we had to put some of them on the floor(no counter space at all)
I really want to get rid of the dish drying rack, mostly because it is disgusting, and wont come clean, despite the fact that it's only a year or two old.
I like the towel idea, and I DO need to buy/make kitchen hand towels anyway, so maybe I'll convince DH that we should get some. I've been on a sewing binge lately, and I'm running out of things to sew, so yeah, maybe I'll do that.
We'll have to get a lock for the dishwasher though if we're to dry in there. DS spends way too much time climbing in it anyway.

Special Fitting Issue
Aside from the natural satisfaction that comes from turning a piece of fabric into a beautiful garment, getting a garment that fits me (my body, no one elses) perfectly is one of the major reasons I sew. And, I find this to be true for many sewers. But, I think we all recognize that sometimes that's easier said than done. Regardless of whether you're in perfect shape or not, body types vary greatly and one pattern definitely does not fit all. What's more, our bodies change throughout the years, so the fitting adjustments you relied on years ago may not work for you now.
What better time than Spring to get a good, realistic grasp of your shape and hone in on that perfect fit? To help get you there, we've devoted the latest issue of Threads (April/May 2009 Issue no. 142) to the topic of fitting. While this issue can't possibly cover every person's fitting issues, there's a nice mix of information to get you started and we'll be working hard to bring you more great fitting content in issues to come. If you haven't gotten the latest copy of Threads in the mail already, here's a glimpse at some of the informative sewing content you'll find in this issue:
Great Fitting Content
To start, we review the latest pattern drafting software to help you design garments that fit you perfectly. (Check out this bonus pattern drafting software information and join the ongoing conversation!). There are also terrific features that focus on adjusting a pattern to fit a specific area of the body including how to fit a large midsection ("Full & Fabulous" by Kathleen Cheetham), how to add a bust dart to a pattern ("Add a Bust Dart" by Louise Cutting), and how to adjust a shirt neckline to suit your size ("Stick Your Neck Out" by Susan P. Nelson). And, you'll learn how to use fusible tape to sculpt a jacket lapel for a gently curved and softly rolled look, and of course, much improved fit in "Tape to Shape" by Judy Barlup.
Gorgeous Sewing Inspiration and more
In addition to stories on fitting, you'll find some inspiring articles on how to embellish your sewing projects with recycled materials for a beautiful effect ("Reduce, Reuse, Embellish" by Denise Severson), how to create intricate-looking color-blocked knit garments ("Splicing Knits" by Connie Long), and just in time for spring, contributing editor Kenneth D. King shows you how-to sew up luxurious silk roses to adorn any garment in "Coming Up Roses".
As in every issue of Threads, we also bring you in-depth information on embroidery, patterns, and fabrics as well as great sewing tips and tricks.
-Happy Fitting and Sewing!

49' hips 36' waist 42'' bust is very hard for me to do my own fitting, I have a pear shape body I just need to learn how to fit my self with out making so many darts at my bust.
Posted: 8:16 am on November 26th
Posted: 3:41 pm on May 21st
However, I noticed that every one of the photos in the article for review of pattern drafting software showed wrinkles in the garments as though they had fitting issues.
For those of us paranoid about how finished garments will look - I would have preferred a model who stood still so I could examine the fit more accurately.

MULTAN, Jan 10: The office of "Aik Hunar Aik Nagar" (AHAN), which was introduced to promote work of local artisans enabling youths for a reasonable livelihood, has been closed in the city.
According to AHAN sources, the staff has been transferred to Lahore. The programme was launched to promote blue-pottery, naqashi, camel skin work, mud-potter and hand embroidery work in Multan and its suburban areas.
The AHAN, in collaboration with the Skilled Development Fund, launched different projects to equip local artisans with latest techniques in order to improve work of artisans at Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Lodhran and Muzaffargarh.
About 2,200 artisans underwent the training programme in hand-embroidery and carpet making.
The AHAN Lahore office will continue to impart training from the provincial headquarters.—APP


text: RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 44130504 LA English T1 Walker Evans & company A1 Galassi, Peter., Museum of Modern Art (New York, N.Y.), PB Museum of Modern Art : Distributed by H.N. Abrams PP New York YR 2000 SN 0870700324 9780870700323 0810962063 9780810962064 0870700367 9780870700361 AB "At the heart of this book lies the work of the great American photographer Walker Evans, who radically expanded the possibilities of photography as an art. Photographers before Evans had certainly conceived of their pictures as art, but in order to make that claim they had most often aimed at a cultivated visual style that would advertise its differences from the vast mass of reportorial and vernacular photography. Evan's work of the late 1920s and 1930s, however, was direct and plainspoken, conclusively demonstrating how richly articulate and challenging a photograph could become by affecting no more than a hard, clear, observant gaze at the world beyond the lens." "Evans is the moving force of Walker Evans & Company, but the book, which presents over 300 works, in photography and other mediums, by over 100 artists, has a larger subject: it is a generously expansive study of a diverse, long-lived visual tradition. Beginning with the great influences on Evans - American vernacular photography, and the work of the Europeans Eugene Atget and August Sander - Peter Galassi goes on to chart Evan's own influence on later generations of artists. That influence may be direct, or roundabout; it may also be a question less of a definite lineage than of a general inheritance, a shared focus of interest or mode of approach."--Jacket.

Walk chalk. On April 26, as artists battled the elements, chalk battled its natural enemy, rain. Despite the down pour, which cut short the sidewalk art festivities short a day, artists came out and colored the sidewalks around the Kansas City Museum while it was dry. Pictured above, Johnson, who has been drawing since he was two-years old and lives for chalk drawings, said the rain actually helps because it blends the colors together better. His goal with the piece was to make it 3D looking, "like the ant is trying to escape from the card."

Well, my name is Shilo and my siblings are Christopher and Amanda.
My boyfriends family always made my eyebrow go up. Kyle, Kendall, Kip, Kevin, Vanessa, and Leithi. Mom named all the boys K names and dad picked the girls. My siblings and I don't match at all but we're all step an half siblings and there's a 20 year gap from oldest (me) to youngest (my half brother) so that explains it.
A family at our church has four kids, the first three are:
Austin, Kyle and Eliana...they named their youngest Joaquin. I do not think this matches with the other three at all...(Sweet kids, and great family though!)
Also, a family I babysit for has 5 kids, Luke, the twins Cole and Joel, Dominico, and Glen.
And my cousins are Timothy, Jeffrey, Andrew, and Margarita.... (Yes like the drink...)
So it's Timothy, Jeff, Andy, and Margie/Rita....
I don't think sibsets have to match, it's up to the parents I guess. That being said, mine is mismatched. We have Brandi, Sandi, Sarah (me), William, Arthur, Samuel, and Anna. Though only my brother and I are full siblings. You had the at the time trendy Brandi and Sandi. Timeless/Classic Sarah, William, Samuel, and Anna and the quirky hipster (especially in the 90's) Arthur. I also know a family who has 4 daughters named Sia, Blossom, Eve, and Mykkynlii.

I really like this fragrance and glad the price has dropped and it will be readily available.
Thank you, Mike.

so the original buyers have been duped??? paying more for half the content!
Life's a bitch. If it were a slut it'd be easy.
Supposedly the first batch was a higher concentration than an EdP.
I like Frapin Caravelle Epicee, Terre du Serment, and Serge Lutens Chène. Do you think I will like 1697?
I see it is now up to $180 at MiN, but $155 at Luckyscent.

Pro-Life Video Rejected by Leftist NBC and CNN Networks
Many pro-aborts say that a tough childhood or possibility of poverty is enough reason to kill the unborn. That is sick and evil. Many poor people grow up to become successful, and killing the innocent before they are born is not a solution, but a problem. See the video below. Obama hypocritically supports the killing [...]

|Not a good first Creek lead, unless you have hands thinner than my wife's and she has thin hands. She couldn't get hers inside most of the corner crack. Good thing the occasional crack on the right was wide enough for a jam. I thought it was a pretty strenuous route, but then everything out here is. Hiking up the drainage that separates Sinbad from Battle of Bulge walls (then going up the talus, directly to the climb) may be better than the half mile of loose, bouldery side-hilling we did after making the approach recommended to reach Sinbad routes.

Aside from the annoying mongoose noise, this is an excellent camera filming following the sniper bullet trail traveling from the sniper gun barrel to going through the opponents head and traveling back up to the sniper gun just in time to see and hear the reloading of the the gun.I feel this SNIPING 101 Film Clip is worthy of being considered for being put into the Top Snipe 10 or 100 film clips and/or the Sniping Hall of Fame.I have several alternate versions of this clip to yet be posted for viewing.Check out some other cool and funny Halo 3 film clips on my YouTube Channel "disentegration" and on the "FAKEAntiClan" YouTube Channel.
