J. Upton's first Braves hit is epic homer
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Two pitches after Jason Heyward lined a home run over the right-field fence in the fourth inning Monday, Justin Upton hit one over everything in left field at Champion Stadium. Over the fence, the grass berm, advertisement flags atop the berm, another fence -- everything.
"Second-longest home run I've seen in a game," Heyward said of the Upton blast, which hit the top of a tree beyond the berm and cleared a chain-link fence between the backside of the berm and the players' parking lot.
No one could remember a longer homer hit to left field since Champion Stadium opened in 1997, not even in batting practice. The general consensus was it traveled at least 450 feet, which may have been a conservative estimate.
"When you see your teammate do it, you want to jump on the train," Upton said of following Heyward's second homer in as many days. "I'm not going to say (that he ever hit one further). That's every bit I've got right there."
Both home runs came off Marlins left-hander Scott Maine in a 7-6 Braves win, their first in four Grapefruit League games. Maine gave up four homers in seven innings with the Cubs two years ago, and has allowed eight homers in 46-2/3 career innings. It's doubtful any were hit harder than the one Upton pulverized.
It was the first hit in three spring games for Upton, who got the traditional first-hit silent treatment from teammates when he returned to the dugout. He added an RBI single in the fifth inning, and older brother B.J. Upton went 2-for-3 including an RBI double and a stolen base in the three-run fourth inning.
"That's going to be fun to watch," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said of the middle of his batting order, with the Upton brothers and Heyward. "Because they have that capability to go back-to-back, or get a single and steal a base, too."
This was the kind of scenario the Braves and their fans envisioned after a trade last month brought Justin Upton to Atlanta from Arizona to join B.J. (who signed as a free agent in November) and Heyward in an outfield that packs a lot of power and speed.
Heyward's homer was his second in as many days, after a line-drive homer to straightaway center Sunday at Bradenton, Fla. The one he hit Monday didn't take much longer to get out of the ballpark than his low-liner Sunday. But then Upton one-upped him.
Upton's homer was a no-doubt-about-it shot from the time it left his bat, hit so high that it appeared level with the tops of the outfield light towers. It's rare even for a ball hit during batting practice at Champion Stadium to reach the top of the grass seating berm. Upton's homer sailed high over it, and over the metal faux pennants that serve as billboards affixed to poles atop the berm.
Asked how it felt to hit a ball as hard as that, Upton said, "You don't feel anything, really. I've hit a few that I've kind of let it loose on and happened to square. I hit a couple in the restaurant (in second deck, left-center field at Arizoa's Chase Field) that kind of feel the same like that. Everything just happens to sync up and you square it up."
Heyward said the only ball he'd seen hit that far to left at Champion Stadium was also by Upton, during batting practice a week ago.
"And (to do it) at game speed? Wow," Heyward said. "I'm kind of interested to see what it's going to be like when we get to real-game speed and the adrenaline. It's a dangerous lineup from any point. You've got home runs, you've got speed, you've got guys who are going to put the ball in play hard."
Heyward also said the only longer homer he ever saw was hit by former teammate Cody Johnson in a Class-A game at Asheville, N.C., which Heyward insisted traveled "at least 600 feet." That homer has become legendary in Asheville and most estimates put it at 515-525 feet.
Heyward was in the dugout Monday when Upton went deep.
"I was standing right by where the bats and helmets are," he said. "I saw him hit it and I was just like, OK, that's high, far, and it's loud."

I did it the same way but did not encounter any X-Ray vision NPCs. At which place exactly did this happen? I noticed that the guards become enforcers from a certain time after the fire alarm is triggered, and then go back to normal.
A couple of times, I shot the fire alarm on the second floor next to the hotel staff guy and that made the surrounding guards become enforcers. However, when I pulled the one on the third floor no such thing happened. I replicated it a few times. As for Xray, female waitress spotted me through the corner where the target sits. Eventually I got lucky and it didn't happen.
Silent Assassin/Suit Only/Triple Wallbang 1:17
First time using an alt account to replay an ET (so no blind/no restarts rules this time)
Apparently bullets can go through as many of those wooden walls as you want.
Wow.....Just, wow....Dude seriously, that was amazing!If there was a contest on who had the most outstanding kill for this elusive, you would definitely win, no question!
Fantastic job, seriously!
Nice MP3 music......
Another SA/SO run.
Well that could've gone better. Tried to kill him with the poison syringe before he entered the kitchen, but got spotted by one of the chefs. Still managed to get away, but obviously it's no SA.
You are so creative, I think you should join this one.
The Hitman Youtuber! I was watching his livestream on his channel he was 46th on the leaderboard!
Just wanted to say that I love your videos @Pagan !
I simply do not understand this fire extingusher tactics... Why did developers allow Such a thing is beyond my comprehension.. I take it FE's are in every level in game, so that tactic can be used, like, all the time. I dont know where the fun is in doing hits like that tbh. For each their own i guess.
Personaly, slitting his throat after 2 hours of pain-enduring, body-shuffeling, coin-tossing, x-ray action gave me ultimate satisfaction.
I agree with you, although I think there should be FEs: however they should be rare and hard to get to like in Hokkaido.
Oh i dont mind FE's at all, they add the flavour. What i dont get is their potency at getting SA runs.
Im at colorado, did not see hokkaido yet
Ultimate Weapon for SA runs sounds better what i had in mind
That doesn't seem very safe.
True. In Hokkaido there was one fire extinguisher in the whole facility.
Exactly the way i did it. Lured everyone to the storage room where the freezer is and knocked them one by one until he was left alone.. then Slit his throat
FE's, while cheap, still sounds better than spending 2 hours knocking people out
Here is my Silent Assassin run (1:40):
Also people exagerate the power of the FE a lot heuheuehue, while it can't give you "body found", neither can the virus prototype for Francesca, nor dropping the planterary thingy on Silvio, and both of those kills are "acceptable" for the same people that complain about Fire Extinguishers, even though for these 2 targets FE is a lot harder and has actual risk of collateral damage, unlike those kills.

Several Heating Fuel Assistance Programs are offered in the state of Massachusetts to help low-income residents pay for heating fuel. We are compiling a list of these programs in this post to serve as a central resource for this information.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides assistance to eligible households to pay a portion of their heating bills. The benefit amount to each eligible household is largely dependent on the size of funding provided to the state by the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Eligibility for this program is based on the size of your household and the gross annual income of each household member (18 years or older). This household income should not exceed 60% of the estimated state median income. Details about the state median income level is available at the Massachusetts Housing and Economic Development website.
First time applicants should apply in person at their local fuel assistance agency. Each household should apply each year but applications are mailed to you after the first year.
If you are found eligible, your local fuel assistance agency will notify your heating dealer and pay them directly. The fuel assistance may only cover a portion of your heating bills and the household is responsible for the remainder of the bills.
Citizens Energy in partnership with CITGO Petroleum and thousands of local hating oil dealers offers the JOE-4-OIL program which helps out people in financial need by offering them free home heating oil. Each eligible household is offered 100 gallons of home heating at no charge. This delivery is offered only once per household per heating season.
Any household in financial hardship (irrespective of their Citizenship or Immigration status) who needs help paying for home heating is eligible. However you can only receive this benefit once per heating season.
Check the JOE-4-OIL website to see if they are still accepting applications for a given heating season. If they are, you can apply by calling 1-877-JOE-4-OIL (Monday - Friday, 9am to 5pm). If your application is approved, you will get a heating oil delivery voucher which can be redeemed with an approved heating oil dealer.
More information can be found at JOE-4-OIL website
The Good Neighbor Energy Fund offers assistance to qualified Massachusetts residents who are experiencing a temporary financial crisis and are unable to pay their Heating bills. This is a joint effort between local gas, electric and oil companies and The Salvation Army.
To be eligible for this Fund, you need to be a MA resident and you should not be eligible for any State or Federal Energy assistance program. Furthermore your gross household income must fall between 60 and 80 percent of the state's median income levels. The guideline for each year's income levels can be obtained at their website.
For 2014, the maximum disbursement per eligible household was $275 per heating season. To apply for this assistance, start by contacting your local Salvation Army.
The Heating Emergency Assistance Retrofit Task Weatherization Assistance Program (HEARTWAP) is offered in the state of Massachusetts to low-income families to help cover their heating system repair and replacement costs. During the winter months, the program primarily helps out low-income families to repair or replace defective or unsafe heating systems on an emergency basis. HEARTWAP can also fund maintenance work during the off-season if funds are available.
Generally households that are eligible for the years LIHEAP program are also eligible for HEARTWAP. Households should contact their local fuel assistance agency and if deemed eligible, the local agency will contract with heating repair companies directly to repair or replace the system.
To learn more this program, check out the HEARTWAP section of the Massachusetts Housing and Economic Development website.
This program provides eligible low-income households with home energy efficiency services with the intent to lower their energy costs by making homes more energy efficient. The program is funded by the US Department of Energy and managed by local fuel assistance agencies.
Households that are eligible for LIHEAP are generally also eligible for WAP services. However priority may be given to households with elderly, disabled or children under 6 yrs of age. Both homeowners and renters (with the landlord's permission) are eligible for this program.
If selected, an energy inspector will thoroughly inspect your home and evaluate your heating system for efficiency and safety. The inspector may recommend improvements such as air sealing to prevent leaks, additional insulation for your attic, side wall, floors and other energy related repairs. These repairs or improvements will be then be performed by a licensed and insured weatherization contractor.
More information about this program can be found at the WAP section of the MA Housing and Economic Development website.
Several towns and localities offer heating related assistance to their low income residents. We are providing a list of programs that we know of. If you don't see one for your town please check with you town hall.
If you know of any programs that are missing from this list, please post a comment and we will consider adding them to this post.
As more and more families are choosing to buy heating oil directly using online resources...
Several Heating Fuel Assistance Programs are offered in the state of Massachusetts...
It used to be that when it came to utilities, there was only one or two companies that monopolized power...
Heating Oil & Propane price data is maintained by the US EIA during each Heating...

ArmA 3 Sells Over a Million Copies
Who says you need to put zombies and dog-eat-dog PvP into your modern military combat simulator for it to be popular? At least one million people have snatched up ArmA 3 since its release last September, as revealed by developer Bohemia Interactive's top dog, Marek Spanel. Of course, it probably wouldn't hurt to have zombies in there, seeing as how Day Z has wracked up twice that sales figure.
Okay, so that's being a little unfair.
Last month, Bohemia Interactive outlined a roadmap for ArmA 3, which include an old school, straight up expansion, a "Bootcamp" update to help new players learn the basics, and DLC adding helicopter piloting to the game. So, anybody ready for the basics of flying a Huey can clip as many spruces as they need without costing Uncle Sam a billion dollars in military tech.
Day Z certainly helped ArmA's notoriety before splitting off and becoming its own thing. And good for it, too! There certainly is a place for a realistic combat simulator in this day and age that is removed from anything supernatural (like zombies, or mechs). I mean, we've got simulations where you drive tractors and harvest corn. Why not have a game where you simulate the experiences of a modern soldier?
Except for the food. You do not want to simulate army food. Or what happens after you manage to actually consume army food.

This illuminating book helps Christians think biblically and critically about the art and culture of film, moving beyond simple moral judgments to an understanding of deeper worldviews and philosophical meaning.
Hollywood produces, packages, and sells hundreds of movies every year. Many of these movies propagate a distorted sense of morality and ethics. Under the surface of immoral behavior and unlawfulness, however, there can be deeper problems in Hollywood's messages. What are these stories telling the viewer about life, relationships, and God? What worldviews and ideas do they espouse? If Christians are to tread carefully at the theater complex, they need resources to help them.
This book is just such a resource. By exploring the relationship between Christianity and art, the theology of biblical discernment, and a brief history of filmmaking, as well as through analysis of popular films, Meaning at the Movies equips readers for careful discernment in the cinema. The book does not simply list criteria for judging film art; instead it encourages Christians to develop biblical and critical discernment in regard to not only film, but all aspects of culture.

The fuel level sensor may fail causing erratic operation of the fuel gauge. Our technicians tell us that replacement of the failed sensor is necessary to correct this concern.
A rough idle may develop which may or may not cause the Check Engine Light to come on. This issue is commonly caused by a failed intake manifold gasket which will require replacement.

CATverse A/N: Hey, don't know what the CATverse is? Go to catverse. com to find out.
A/N: This was born, oh, ages ago, I suppose. I wasn't going to finish it, for reasons that were my own, but the Captain got wind of the idea and got all excited, so I had to finish it. It's tacked to the end of the companion stories Masque and Calamity, in arc five.
Generally speaking, a ball gown is not proper jogging attire. Furthermore, a pair of pumps—no matter how sensible the heel—are not a suitable replacement for a pair of sneakers. Dashing across Wayne Manor's grounds, blue taffeta hitched up to her thighs, trying to keep her footing with Nightwing hot on her peacock tail, Techie was more aware of those two facts than she'd ever been before. Oh, she could run in heels—it was her opinion that any woman who was going to wear the things should have been required by law to learn how—but running in heels on an uneven surface? Yeah. Not so much.
She knew it was only a matter of time before he caught up with her. His athletic ability was clearly superior, and she'd always been more of a sprinter than a long distance runner, but since her revolver was spent, she decided to take her chances. Ignoring the pain in her side, she ran as fast as she possibly could without tripping and falling on her face. Her kneecaps protested the brutal movement as she leapt over one of the short hedges, losing a piece of her crinoline underskirt in the process. The material snagged, tore and ripped free as she made her escape.
Techie stumbled, caught herself and started running again. She cursed the few seconds lead she'd just lost with her clumsiness and further swore inside her head as she staggered across the lawn. The ground sloped downward ever so slightly the closer she got to the wrought iron fence that circled the enormous estate and it became increasingly difficult to keep her balance. Puzzlingly, the fence seemed to be both just within reach and a million miles away. She huffed and puffed and spared a glance over her shoulder at her masked pursuer, who was rapidly closing on her position. He was almost within arms reach…
Oh, she was never going to make it.
The solid weight of the vigilante smashed into Techie's back, his arms wrapping around her waist and dragging her to the ground. She hit hard, sucking air in through her teeth as her ribcage collided with the earth. Splinters of agony emptied her lungs of air and she felt light headed as he twisted one of her arms in a direction it really wasn't meant to go in. She fought the sensation and struggled to throw him off her back, ignoring the fact that she would probably pull her own shoulder out of its socket if she succeeded. It was little use to fight him, she knew that, but her pride demanded that she give it the old college try anyway.
A metallic click made her double her efforts and the cold steel of a handcuff closing around her wrist gave her enough of an adrenaline boost that she managed to twist her torso just enough to clip Nightwing in the jaw with the fist he didn't hold captive. With grunts and growls, she hoisted herself up just enough to set him off balance and flipped over onto her back. Only once she'd done this did she realize it wasn't a particularly good move, strategically speaking, as it gave him the opportunity to sit astride her and grab her wrist as she swung at his face.
She kicked like a mule, arms straining against his strength and wriggled beneath him. There was no finesse in her escape attempt, she was just thrashing and hoping to get lucky. It was discouraging just how easily he pinned her arms above her head, but she didn't give up floundering. She even added a heated glare for good measure. This only seemed to amuse him.
"Let me loose!"
Smirking, he regarded her from behind his mask, eyes twinkling in a way that made her want to tear them out of his pretty little face. "I admire your tenacity, but it's pretty obvious you're not getting away."
"Oh, well, aren't we sure of ourselves?" she grunted, throwing all her power into pulling her right wrist free. It was a pointless expenditure of effort: she didn't get even an inch off the ground before the back of her hand hit the grass again.
"I'd say we have good reason to be sure of ourselves." He flashed her a thousand-watt grin and she wished more than anything she could knock every single one of his teeth out with a crowbar.
"Smugness is a very unattractive quality in a crimefighter," she groused, tugging as hard as she could at the iron grip he had on her.
The fact that he could hold both her wrists captive in one freakishly strong hand infuriated her even further. She knew she had tiny, weak little girl wrists—tiny, weak little girl wrists that had no business being on her otherwise sturdy frame—but this was just embarrassing. With ease, he reached over and grabbed the handcuff that dangled freely from her left wrist, moving to secure it around the other. "Smugness. Unattractive. Got it. I'll make a note to work on that."
She growled at him and fought with all her might as he tried to click the handcuff into place.
"Why don't you just give up?" he asked, a flash of annoyance in his tone. "You're not going to escape."
"I might just surprise you." She shifted, bending at the waist, hoisting her legs in the air, up and over, snagging his shoulders with her heels. She threw all her weight forward and miraculously put him off balance, heaving both of them over so that their positions were reversed. The instant his back his the soft, damp grass, she slunk her legs out from under him and planted herself on his torso, slamming her hands down on either side of his neck so that the linking chain between the handcuffs pressed into his windpipe, drastically reducing his air supply.
"See? Tenacity and ingenuity," she gave him a smirk of her own, though the effect was somewhat ruined by her heavy breathing. "I'm the whole package, baby."
"You know," he choked out, "I can see how that smugness thing could be off-putting."
She couldn't stop herself from smiling, even as she gasped for air. "That's what I like about you, Nightwing. Never lose that sense of humor."
"That so?" Despite the fact his oxygen supply was greatly diminished, Nightwing smiled right back. "Know what I like about you?"
"No," she answered, leaning forward until their faces were inches apart and giving him a haughty smirk, "What's th—ACK!"
He slammed his forehead directly into hers and somehow—she wasn't entirely sure how—in the ensuing tussle, their positions were reversed once more. Techie hit the ground with a thump and croaked, "Oh, dick move."
"You talk too much," the vigilante-shaped blob in front of her intoned from between the stars that were swimming in her field of vision. "Rookie villain mistake."
"I do not talk too much," she grumbled, shaking off her head-injury stupor, even as Nightwing hauled her up off the ground. "I banter."
He shrugged, putting himself behind her and prodding her into walking. "From where I stand, you talk too much."
She turned and glared at him from behind her mask, stumping along and doing her level best to trip him up. "You are definitely single."
Not a single muscle in Nightwing's face twitched.
Techie huffed. "Also, you are so not Batman."
"No!" he exclaimed in mock horror. "Was it the ears that gave me away?"
"See?" she said with a sudden infectious grin. "Banter! Fun! Also? Distracting!"
She swung her arms up and attempted to strike Nightwing across the face with both fists. He caught her by the handcuff chain and stared her down.
"Think you're pretty cute, don't you?"
"No, I think I'm adorable!" She kicked out, somehow managing to dig one of her high heels into his shin, then threw all her weight in the opposite direction, successfully pulling her arms free from Nightwing's grasp. "HA!"
She took off like a shot, running fast as her legs could carry her, straight for the wrought iron fence that had been her original goal. She flung herself against it and started climbing like a clumsy chimpanzee. She almost made it over, but the layers of her dress got tangled in the more ornate parts of the ironwork and with a tremendous screech, she lost her grip, falling backward. Instead of hitting the ground, though, her dress—wrapped several times around the spires of the fence—kept her suspended above it. She swung freely back and forth like a bright blue pendulum, arms flailing as she tried to find something, anything to grab onto.
"Treacherous taffeta!"
Nightwing, who had foreseen this eventuality the moment she started shimmying up the fence, adopted a casual stance, hands on his hips, smirk fixed firmly in place. "Need a hand?"
"You can take your hand and shove it straight up your—"
"Manners," he chided, still unmoving.
She glowered. "Are you going to get me down from here?"
"Are you going to behave yourself?" he countered.
"Are you kidding?" she laughed at him. "No."
"Then you can swing there until the police show up."
As if on cue, sirens wailed in the distance, growing closer by the second. Techie's eyes went wide with panic as a squad car pulled onto the lawn behind the fence. The moment the car came to a complete stop, two armed police officers exited the vehicle and trained their weapons on her.
"Freeze! GCPD! Hands in the—" She looked incredibly comical, swinging back and forth from the spires by her ballgown, backlit by the red and blue flashing lights of the squads, glaring at Nightwing, so it was no wonder there was a bit of unprofessional snickering from at least one of the uniforms. "—air?"
Nightwing moved in towards her. He wrapped an arm around her waist, hoisting her up on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, pulling her dress free of the iron and then climbing over the fence, all in one smooth, graceful movement.
Techie didn't fight him—there seemed little point—but she did glare at him just the least bit harder. "You're making me look bad, twinkle toes."
With a smile she couldn't see, Nightwing set Techie on her feet. She stumbled in the grass, losing a shoe in the process, and fell flat on her rump in front of two of the cops. Without ceremony, they pulled her up by the arms and held her between them, giving her barely enough time to snatch her lost pump off the ground. "You have the right to remain silent—"
"Thanks for the assist," one of them offered awkwardly as Techie struggled against his arms and his partner continued reading her rights.
"No problem," the hero replied.
"—against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney—"
Techie ignored the cops and kept her eyes fixed on Nightwing. Even as the policemen started leading her away, she looked back over her shoulder at him, scowling. Then, suddenly, her frown morphed slowly into an impish twist of her upper lip.
"—afford one, one will be appointed for you—"
Without warning, she twisted her upper body, wrenching her arm free of the cop on her left. Weakly, but with a cry of triumph that suggested otherwise, she flung her shoe at Nightwing's head.
Unsurprisingly, he dodged it with ease. After all, her aim was worse than that of a one-armed archer.
Nightwing leaned over and scooped up the deep aqua blue pump, as the police officers wrestled their rebellious charge to the earth, mashing her face into the dirt. She came up sputtering, spitting out grass and leaves. When she was fully pinned with no chance at escape, he strode up to her and placed her shoe on the ground in front of her face.

She smiled bitterly and went limp with compliance. The police pulled her up again and her face was smudged with stains in various earth tones. "Thanks for the dance, Prince Charming."
She was stuffed none-too-gently into the back of the squad car, but just before the door slammed shut, she heard Nightwing call, "You know, we really ought to try doing it to music sometime."

Broad housing market reports are a dime a dozen these days, and if you ask me, that's a good approximation of their worth. Markets are sliced and diced and compared across the board, drawing multiple -- and often conflicting -- conclusions with shaky, obsolete data. The market's up, or maybe it's down. It's good, it's bad, and it's confusing.
For most people, even with access to all this information the results are more inconsistent than ever, often dated and out of context. But they don't have to be.
Timely and accurate information, provided on a local level with a real-world perspective, is the real estate market's most important commodity -- and the ability of the public, government, financial institutions, investors and real estate professionals to make informed decisions on local housing markets is the cornerstone of an eventual housing recovery.
Isn't it time we stop trying to drive by, looking in the rear-view mirror, and insist on...

O'Neill tips Harte's Tyrone to throw down the gauntlet
When Tyrone were edged out 0-18 to 1-11 in the All-Ireland football semi-finals by Kerry last year, manager Mickey Harte lost no time in driving home the message that the progress his reconstructed side had made would "be no good" if they did not build this year.
Tomorrow the Red Hands get the perfect chance to take a step towards justifying the faith their boss has shown in them by overcoming Cavan in the Allianz League Division Two final.
Croke Park has been the scene of a series of iconic Tyrone triumphs during Harte's ground-breaking watch since late 2002 and if heartbreak was their lot last August, then the three All-Ireland titles, 2003 Allianz League honour and five Ulster crowns captured prior to that testified to a lucrative era in the county's sporting history.
Stephen O'Neill, a legendary forward who formed a lethal inside line in tandem with Peter Canavan and Owen Mulligan for much of the golden era, shared in those successes and believes that the county which he served with such distinction could be on the verge of another breakthrough.
It was in 2010 that Aughabrack clubman O'Neill (below) last pulled on the red and white jersey in the Dr McKenna Cup having previously announced what turned out to be his premature retirement in early 2008 only to find himself making a return for the All-Ireland final in which he was introduced as a substitute.
It is part of GAA folklore that an emotional O'Neill refused to accept a winners' medal because he had not been in the team for the greater part of their journey to glory.
Now, as he surveys a Tyrone side that is a rich blend of precocious youth and solid experience, O'Neill believes they could be on the cusp of better things after a six-year hiatus.
"Tyrone were very unlucky in last year's All-Ireland semi-final but I know they can't wait to get out onto the pitch," said O'Neill. "Victory over Cavan will help to further embellish their credentials for the Ulster title and looking further down the line I think it would be foolish to rule them out of the All-Ireland reckoning."
O'Neill has watched Cavan morph from a side that struggled in Division Three to become a much more confident and accomplished Division One outfit and warns Tyrone to be on their guard.
"Cavan will be tough opponents," mused O'Neill. "They have big men in key positions, break quickly from the back and a very significant factor in their progress to date is that they always seem to boast a wide spread of scorers."
But O'Neill feels that Tyrone's hunger, stamina and desire to atone for last year's lapse against Kerry will stand them in good stead. He cites the half-forward line of Martin Sludden, Mark Bradley and Ritchie Donnelly as a youthful unit that is laden with potential.
"These boys are ravenous to get a taste of success at Croke Park and I know for a fact that Sean Cavanagh is still intent on landing honours so you have players from different generations in there all sharing the same goal," pointed out O'Neill.
Cavan skipper Gearoid McKiernan, sharpshooter Seanie Johnston, talisman David Givney and Michael Argue are viewed as posing a major threat to Tyrone. Padraig Faulkner, Killian Clarke, Dara McVeety, Martin Reilly, Jason McLoughlin and the emerging Liam Buchanan are other players who have blossomed this year.
"When you look at the depth of talent within this Cavan side, you can see why they are going places," asserted O'Neill.
"The team has matured and they will not only want to beat Tyrone but will feel they can make headway in Ulster."
Tyrone beat Cavan earlier in the league by 0-10 to 0-8 in a match described by one Red Hands official as "a dog-fight".
There will much snapping of teeth tomorrow, too, as both sides aim to set down a marker.
O'Neill added: "Maybe in the past league honours were not seen as carrying great currency but when you consider the advance ticket sales and the fact that all other counties will be hanging onto every bit of the action, this shows you just how important they have become."
Tyrone: M O'Neill; A McCrory, R McNamee, C McCarron; R Brennan, Justin McMahon, T McCann; C Cavanagh, M Donnelly; N Sludden, M Bradley, R Donnelly; C McAliskey, S Cavanagh, R O'Neill.
Cavan: R Galligan; P Faulkner, K Clarke, J McLoughlin; C Brady, C Moynagh, K Brady; T Corr, L Buchanan; D McVeety, G McKiernan, M Reilly; D Givney, M Argue, S Johnston.

Former Real Madrid assistant Paul Clement sacked by Derby
Paul Clement has been sacked as head coach at Derby, the Sky Bet Championship club have announced.
The Rams announced on Monday evening that Clement, who was appointed to the role last summer, had been relieved of his duties, with academy director Darren Wassall taking over until the end of the season.
Derby are without a win in their last seven league games and lie fifth in the Championship table.
The midlands outfit - eighth last season under Steve McClaren - are currently five points behind leaders Hull and second-placed Middlesbrough, having been top themselves on Boxing Day.
Derby chairman Mel Morris said in Monday's announcement that when Clement came in "promotion this season was not the primary target".
Morris stressed that playing style and squad strength had been deemed "the priorities", and that Clement had been axed because the club had "not made enough progress" on that front under the 44-year-old former Chelsea, Paris St Germain and Real Madrid coach.
"We are grateful for the contribution Paul has made to the football club, but the time is right to make a change," Morris said.
"When Paul joined us last year we worked with him to develop a plan for the club which we asked him to embrace.
"It was clear in this plan, which was briefed to supporters, players, sponsors and all our stakeholders last summer that promotion this season was not the primary target.
"The priorities were building on the Derby way and style of football enjoyed in the past two seasons, adding depth and strength to our playing squad and developing and improving player and team performance.
"Sadly, on these measurements, we have not made enough progress and that is why we have decided to part company with Paul."
Derby, who spent considerable money on the likes of Tom Ince and record signing Bradley Johnson last summer, won 13 of their 30 league fixtures with Clement as boss.

Item # GIR008B
Giro Trinity Helmet $39.95
Holey trinity.
When you break it down, a cycling helmet is actually a pretty simple affair. Behind the acronyms and camel-case, proprietary technologies are three basic elements: a polycarbonate shell, an EPS foam body, and an adjustable retention system. The Giro Trinity Helmet incorporates all three, with the addition of a holey, ventilated design, making it the Alpha of cycling helmets. Omega can keep its acronyms.
The shell and EPS body are fused via Giro's application of In-Mold technology. This makes for better impact-absorption and more structural integrity, while the addition of rear-oriented reflective elements may keep you from needing to rely on those properties. In the event of a tumble, the Acu Dial fit system means your helmet will be held securely in place to provide the highest level of protection possible.

Best helmet I've used so far!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
The helmets adjustment knob has a very large range of adjustment so it's easy to lend out or people or just adjust on the go. The ventilation is fantastic and even on long trips my head stays cool. Overall the helmet is extremely comfortable and I am definitely going to purchase it again once I need a new helmet.
Love this helmet, fits well.
I got this helmet for my 9 and 10 year old kids as they were outgrowing their Giro youth helmets. This fits them perfectly, the adjusting mechanism was easy to use, and the style looks great on too. Got the black with white, the white with silver also looks nice. The helmet also fits well if you need an Asian Fit helmet. We also tried a higher priced helmet and the Giro Trinity still came out the winner by far!
Great helmet and fits well
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got this helmet for my two kids, 9 and 10 yo as they were starting to outgrow their Giro youth helmets. The Trinity fit both of them well, very comfortable and looked great too. One of my kids has a slightly flat head and usually needs an Asian Fit snow helmet, since I couldn't find an Asian Fit bike helmet, we tried this one and this was perfect on her as well! The colours are exactly as pictured, we love both the black with white, and the white with silver.
picture is deceiving
Purchased the white w/ grey flowers style, as the picture made it out to look mostly white. It's definitely a silver-on-silver style. Will be returning for a true white helmet.
Good budget-priced helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
When you break it down to brass tacks, the primary purpose of a helmet is to protect your melon. Sure, there are helmets that are more expensive, ligher, vent better and look more badass, but if your main care is shielding the ol' noggin, the Giro Trinity helmet does that very well, and at a reasonable price. The Acu Dial fit system adjusts to fit a wide range of head sizes, and the vents do a reasonably good job at promoting airflow to keep you cool.
Poor finish
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
The price, fit, weight, and hi-viz were great. The finish was poor. I'm sure it didn't affect protection, but even at a low price point I expect better. This was my second attempt at ordering a Trinity and they were both of similar quality. The vent holes looked like they were whittled out with a pocket knife.
Giro Trinity Helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Helment is very light and comfortable. I recommend this purchase to anyone who is looking for great helmet.

This is a typical Residence Inn property, close to the freeway, in a suburban setting, and convenient to nearby businesses. The location is safe and quiet. Internet worked fine.
The property consists of several buildings arranged in a circle, but the numbering system wasn't clear and it was difficult to find my room. Advice: get clear directions from the front desk when checking in.
The room wasn't as clean as the standard RI: there were food crumbs under the coffee table, the kitchen floor was sticky and hadn't been mopped properly, and there was a small streak of mold forming on the shower curtain.
But overall I liked this property, and would return on another trip to the area. The front desk clerk at check-in was extremely helpful and gave me exactly the room I wanted. Above all, though, and deserving high praise, was the woman working the breakfast service. I am sorry I did not get her name, but she was first-rate and helped start my day on a positive note, and is the reason for the extra star in my rating.

In attempting to define this case as a challenge to "the will of the people," Tr. 2/25/14 p. 40, state defendants lost sight of what this case is truly about: people. No court record of this proceeding could ever fully convey the personal sacrifice of these two plaintiffs who seek to ensure that the state may no longer impair the rights of their children and the thousands of others now being raised by same-sex couples. It is the Court's fervent hope that these children will grow up "to understand the integrity and closeness of their own family and its concord with other families in their community and in their daily lives." Windsor , 133 S. Ct. at 2694. Today's decision is a step in that direction, and affirms the enduring principle that regardless of whoever finds favor in the eyes of the most recent majority, the guarantee of equal protection must prevail.We knew that the state attorney general, Bill Schuette, had immediately filed an appeal and an emergency stay of the decision, but that it, too, happened after the close of offices Friday. So it looked like if couples were to get married, it would happen only licenses could get issued over the weekend. On Facebook, I began to see UU colleagues in Michigan immediately asking if any clerk was going to be open over the weekend. We heard a statement from Barb Byrum, the Ingham County Clerk, that she would open first thing on Monday morning and start issuing licenses, but we knew that the emergency stay could go through so quickly that we wouldn't have our window if we had to wait until Monday. I called Equality Michigan to find out if they knew anything more from any county clerks, and only got answering machines, unsurprisingly. Then I called Randy Block, Director of the Michigan UU Social Justice Network. He hadn't learned anything about any clerks opening yet, either, but said he would call and e-mail me if he did and I said I would post it by e-mail to the clergy groups and to Facebook.
Around 9:30 p.m., I had just seen that the Washtenaw County Clerk was going to open on Saturday morning via a post from Gail Geisenhainer, who was busy talking to her members and community contacts and perhaps the clerk himself. Randy Block called to say that he had learned Washtenaw County Clerk (in Ann Arbor) was going to be open and also the Muskegon County Clerk, and amazingly the Muskegon County Clerk would be issuing licenses from the Harbor UU Church there in Muskegon! He sent me an e-mail about Muskegon and I forwarded it to our chapter Yahoo group, along with the request that if anybody were to hear about any other county that they notify the group. Some folks wanted to stay in their own counties and put pressure on their clerks to open, but I knew my own County Clerk would not be opening, based on our experience with her in October, so, faced with a choice of protesting here or helping there, I prepared to travel to Washtenaw. Oakland and Ingham County seemed the most likely to open, so I and others kept an open ear. We knew Barb Byrum in Ingham had said Monday, but also knew that she wanted to issue licenses. And the Oakland County Clerk, Lisa Brown, had been active and public about the desire to issue licenses, and had testified for the defense in the case. Those were the counties to watch. The UU ministers in Southeast Michigan had done some good work earlier in the year getting to know who our county clerks were and identifying which of them would issue licenses with the most haste. We had created a Google doc to share this information.
On a personal note, my daughter had a performance on Saturday and my whole family was heading here to Jackson to see it. And my car had been totaled a week ago, and we had just gotten the news that the insurance company considered it totaled slightly before Friedman's decision, but they wouldn't be issuing us a rental car until Monday. So I had a busy schedule to juggle and one car for our household. I posted to Facebook asking if any other local progressive clergy would also be interested in heading to Washtenaw, but got no positive response. But I determined that if we left here at 8 and got me to the courthouse at 9, my husband and daughter could get back just in time for her to show up for her performance. I didn't know for sure how I would get home and when I get home, but we agreed to play that more by ear. I knew my daughter would understand why I wanted to be in Ann Arbor. I had been saying all year as this case progressed that if I could get anywhere and perform ceremonies and sign licenses when it became legal, that I would do so. I knew all the couples I had married before in non-legal ceremonies were in counties where they wouldn't be able to get licenses, so I was free to go wherever I could.
Around 1:15 a.m. I saw a post from Equality Michigan on Facebook that Lisa Brown in Oakland would be opening for business, and I shared the post and e-mailed our HUUMA Yahoo and Southeast MichigaN UU Ministers Yahoo group. In the early hours of the morning I realized my copies of the ceremony I had prepared and my stoles were all at church, and I wouldn't have time to get them in the morning, as there was no way my husband was going to agree to get up the extra 40 minutes early. I hunted down my clergy collar that I hadn't worn since maybe the Phoenix GA -- I hate the thing, as it's too tight. I printed off new copies, with my printer that had decided in the name of equality that it would cooperate that day. And then I went to sleep to get the five hours that would carry me through the next day.
The next morning I awoke and got ready, and checked Facebook. Across Michigan, we were preparing for the day. Jeff Liebman stayed in Midland, prepared to act if his clerk would open, and talked to the press and contacted couples he knew were waiting there. Colleen Squires and Fred Wooden prepared for a protest to happen in Grand Rapids on Sunday. I saw that Barb Byrum must have decided to open for business, because Kathryn Bert had posted that she was headed there. She brought her team of Nic Cable and Julica Herman with her. Kimi Riegel awoke to see my post about Oakland County and headed there. Tom Schade and Gail Geisenhainer had already said the previous day that they would be there in Ann Arbor. Mark Evens came briefly, as well. And in Muskegon, Bill Freeman headed to church.
The UU clergy of Michigan were ready and prepared for this day to come, and it had come at last.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have taken their very badly scripted romance and went through with a wedding. The pair had a fake Mexican wedding last year which led to some very sexy bikini pictures of Heidi, but it had no legal backing. This weekend they walked down the aisle surrounded by friends and family in Pasadena. Now I have not seen any record of a marriage license, an applied for marriage license, or actual video with the pair saying I Do and signing the legal documents. Oh yes you have to sign stuff to make this whole thing official. I will not hold my breath, but I am still not believing these two. You know they sold this pictures already for a few bucks.

About: Hammersmith Hospital Hammersmith Hospital London W12 0HS
Posted via NHS Choices
Found incredible care,commitment, dedication from medical staff in endoscopy and gall stones units when picking up tricky case. Up in ward it is horrendous. You are practically ignored and perfunctorily served up drugs when necessary. No one actually "cares" which is ironic as there is a sheet in the folder that reminds them they do. Made to felt guilty for asking to change bed as all wet after canella leaked. Still have wet lower sheet.no one came and made me comfy for the night or helped sort me out so consequently been awake most of night. Feeling sad and wondering what is up with nursing culture and systems?

Long before President Barack Obama praised his work as "an all-encompassing, all-hands-on-deck anti-poverty effort that is literally saving a generation of children," and First Lady Michelle Obama called him "one of my heroes," Geoffrey Canada was a small and scared boy growing up in the South Bronx. His childhood world was one where "sidewalk boys" learned the codes of the block and were ranked through the rituals of fist, stick, knife, and, finally, gun. In a stunning pairing, acclaimed comics creator Jamar Nicholas presents Canada's raw and riveting account, one of the most authentic and important true stories of urban violence ever told.
"Geoffrey Canada's realistic yet hopeful voice finds fresh expression through the comic style of Jamar Nicholas. Canada's account of his childhood and the role that violence played in shaping his experiences provides hard-won and crucial lessons."
—Pedro A. Noguera, Peter L. Agnew Professor of Education at New York University
"Jamar Nicholas is a master of his craft—his drawings are full of life and truly stunning."
—Bryan Lee O'Malley, creator of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
"I wish every city had a Geoffrey Canada."
—President Bill Clinton
"It's a no-brainer, buy one for yourself and one to put in the hands of a young man who may benefit from it as well. The life you save may be your own."

"This is exactly the sort of broadly appealing and gripping nonfiction graphic novel that librarians need to be adding to their shelves."

Thanks for reporting this bug. We've fixed it, and the fix will be available in VC11.
I checked, and hypot()/hypotf() were the only C99 math functions implemented in VC that weren't being dragged into namespace std by <cmath>. Now they are.
Please note that while the C++11 Standard Library includes the C99 Standard Library by reference, and we've already implemented <stdint.h>, we didn't have time to implement even more of the C99 Standard Library in VC11. However, given that we already had hypot()/hypotf(), it was an extremely simple matter to add them to <cmath>.

Since it worked so well for me, I strongly advise taking the time to read the articles on this site so you can learn how credit works and how to build your score.

Your question cannot really be answered with a paragraph. You need to spend time reading all that you can about credit. It is a complicated animal and there is a lot to know. I will say this, the basic credit building tools are three credit cards and one installment loan that are all reported to all three credit bureaus. Understand that when building credit you will ding your credit, but it is a necessary evil.

A Few Pointers
The above users are correct with their statements. There is a lot to know. I can give you a few basic tips that will make sure your score continues to go up.
ALWAYS make your payments on-time. Even 1 late payment will drop your score. Multiple ones will start to make it harder to get credit.
Keep your statement balances low (under 10%). Use the card responsibly and never let the card carry over to the next billing cycle with a high balance. Let it report a small balance every so often (1% of your credit limit). But pay in full otherwise.
Don't apply for too much credit at once. Wait until after 6 months if you plan to apply for any more credit cards (My personal advice). You don't have any FICO scores until after 6 months of having a credit line. I just started my credit building as well. I have a 9 month history. I wish I would have been patient and waited. I have 5 inquiries that I racked up before my 6 month mark. I kept getting denied because of lack of credit history. AFTER the 6 month mark though, I have acquired 3 prime cards. Discover It, Amex Blue Cash Everyday, and Chase Sapphire Preferred.

The relic to which I refer is Padre Uribe's Compendium Gradualis Et Missalis Romani. It has been lovingly passed on down from priest to priest. I will tell you who now possesses it.
David Uribe was born of devout parents on December 29, 1888 in Guerrero, Mexico, the 7th of 11 children. At age 24, he was ordained a priest and at 39, he was martyred by a shot in the back of the head. The reason for his execution was that he refused the offer to be made a puppet bishop under the control of the government. He died forgiving his executioners while offering his life for the salvation of Mexico and for the Church.
On the eve of his death, Padre Uribe wrote out his last will and testament. The part that interests us at the moment, is the mention of his books. He wrote:
"I declare before God that I am innocent of the crimes that I am accused of. I am in the hands of God and of the Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe. Tell this to my Superiors and ask them to pray to God for my soul. I bid farewell to my family, friends, parishioners of Iguala, and I send all of you my blessing.
To Antonio U. Aranda, tell him to pay when he can, the five hundred pesos that I owe for my tithe.
To Jose U. Garcia, in my old notebook some Masses that I have to say are listed. Those that are not crossed out, please have them said when you can.
Tell my godson, Rodolfo Ortiz, to deliver $50 pesos to Fr Ausencio Téllez, he lent it to me.
Cuernavaca, 11th of April, Holy Monday 1927
P.S. Have Antonio Aranda pick up my books and all my belongings, my vestments and typewriter at the house of the García sisters. I forgive all my enemies, and I ask God and whomever I have offended to forgive me."
One of those books which St. David Uribe entrusted to the care of Antonio, came into the possession of his nephew José Uribe Nieto, who also became a priest. A few weeks before dying, Fr. Nieto bequeathed this treasure to a former student of his, the Rev. Fr. Evargrio Lopez Alvarez, OSB, of Morelos, México.
It is an honor and a great pleasure to know Fr. Alvarez with whom I keep in contact, and considering that one of his instructors was a nephew of a canonized saint, it should come as no surprise that Father Evagrio celebrates the Tridentine Mass. If you can read Spanish or Latin, check out Father's link on our blog list: volaturae.blogspot, a blog focusing on all that elevates the soul. Father has a deep appreciation for the beauty of God's creation, for the TLM, for Latin.
Padre, may God grant you the graces through the intercession of St. David Uribe to continue in his footsteps. It seems to me that he has dropped down upon your shoulders his mantle!

VERGENNES — A total of seven Vergennes police officers and Vermont State Police troopers calmed a Dec. 15 fight involving a number of female Northlands Job Corps students, Vergennes police said, but police ended up electing not to file any charges.
When police arrived, they found a group of students yelling at Northlands security. Police settled down the situation and investigated, including interviewing a number of students, before deciding not to issue any citations.
In other incidents between Dec. 15 and 21, Vergennes police:
ADDISON COUNTY — A few minutes before 10 a.m. on Dec. 16, Vermont State Police Trooper Justin Busby observed that the registration sticker was missing from the plates of a vehicle that had just driven up to the gas pumps at the Shoreham Service Center. The trooper questioned the driver, identified as 28-year-old Patrick Ryan of Richmond, about the registration sticker and determined that Patrick Ryan's driver's license was under criminal suspension for a prior driving under the influence conviction.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police initiated a death investigation following the discovery of an unresponsive man in a snow bank off Elm Street during the afternoon of Thursday, Dec. 18.
Police said a passerby discovered the man and began performing CPR. Middlebury Regional EMS responded and took the man to Porter Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The deceased man has been identified as Michael Morgan, 55, of Middlebury. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Middlebury Police Department at 388-3191.
The Addison Independent is proud to publish the Students of the Week from area High Schools each week. The students are chosen by teachers and administration from each school who would like to recognize their exceptional engagement in the high schools they attend.
MIDDLEBURY — When Montpelier called timeout 1:20 after the tip off of Saturday's boys' basketball game at Middlebury Union High School, the Tigers had hit all four of their shots, forced three turnovers and taken an 8-3 lead.
It didn't get any better for the winless Solons.
ADDISON COUNTY — Local girls' basketball teams found tough sledding late last week, as Mount Abe, Vergennes and Otter Valley all dropped games. Middlebury was idle and will visit Mill River on Tuesday.
On this past Friday, that Mill River team doubled up the visiting Eagles, 40-20, after taking an 18-4 lead at the half. The Eagles dropped to 2-2 and received a 10-point effort from freshman Emma Carter. MRU improved to 4-1. The Eagles will play at Fair Haven's holiday tournament on Tuesday and Friday.
ADDISON COUNTY — In boys' basketball action in the latter part of last week, Vergennes and Middlebury both posted victories, but Mount Abraham came up short twice while seeking to break into the win column.
MUHS also beat Montpelier on Saturday.

Another book that fits into my summer project of Reading Outside The Box, i.e. trying new authors and new genres via a cross-section of newly published work. In a very manageable 204 pages, Waterfield's Why Socrates Died opens with Socrates' trial and death by hemlock, then takes us into the backstory of the Peloponnesian War and the social changes wrought by Athens' eventual defeat, and finally presents his theory of why Socrates stayed in Athens and accepted death when he could so easily have escaped.
As I know very little of Socratic thought and ancient Greek history, this subject could easily have proved difficult to follow. So I was impressed by the clarity of Waterfield's writing and the easily understandable structure of this book, which made it possible even for an amateur historian like me to gain a fair amount of understanding of a very far-off world.
I didn't learn much about Socrates himself, though. The larger-than-life character in this book is Alcibiades, Socrates' pupil and, possibly, toyboy. Socrates himself seems rather pushed to the margins; this is a book about his environment rather than the man himself. I don't think that this detracts from the book, though; in fact it has piqued my interest to learn more about Socrates.
Waterfield is scholarly, engaging with other historians and discussing their theories in contrast with his own. Yet I never really had the impression that I was reading a piece of historical scholarship; the narrative flows well, and he follows the delightful contemporary practice of making his notes almost entirely inconspicuous. I did get a bit bogged down in the description of the war, but then I always have trouble following political narratives when the players are not well known to me.
I thought that the book really came into its own once the account of the war was over and we returned to the time of the trial. Waterfield makes some truly interesting comparisons between Socrates' day and American history of the 60s and 70s. From the jacket photo I would say that he's slightly older than me, which makes him a true Boomer (whereas I am on the cusp) and explains why this comparison comes so naturally to him. He also made some remarks that got me thinking about our own "democracy" and recent history.
Waterfield's final theory is only a theory, and he doesn't try to sell it as the only solution to the mystery of Socrates' death. Still, I found it plausible and neatly put. Altogether an excellent book: highbrow without being inaccessible, nicely structured and well edited. I got through the whole thing without once being annoyed by the writing, which is rare for me.

It's officially sandal weather, HOORAY! I'm a flip flop wearing fool but before I go showing off my tootsies, I want to make sure all the dry skin is gone. Post pregnancy, my feet were a nightmare; it seemed my heels were drier than ever & it was taking me forever to remove all the dry skin. The only plus was that I think I was getting some decent biceps from having to pumice the heck outta my heels. Thankfully, my friend Sarah told me about this foot soak that will get rid of it much faster & easier. I tested it out & she was right, it works…the dry skin comes right off: it's Ah-mazing.
If you have dry, cracked heals….or if you simply want a relaxing foot bath that will leave your feet feeling fresh give this a try. You're just a few steps away from being free of funky feet.
This is what you need:
- 2 cups of warm water
- 1 cup of vinegar
- 1 cup of antiseptic mouthwash (like Listerine)
Just combine them all in a large bowl or foot bath & soak for about 15 minutes. After the soak, I then took a pumice stone and buffed the heck outta my feet, especially my heels.
I found that this method is alot easier than just buffing alone & my feet are now ready to roll for summer. If your heels get really cracked, you may need to repeat this as needed to get your feet where you want them.
Time to Moisturize:
I personally like to add some moisture to them when I'm all done (this might be best to do at night). After my feet are nice & smooth I then add some of my whipped body butter to them, cover with socks and when I wake up, they're pretty & moisturized.
Here are a few of the benefits of my all natural body butter:
- moisturize & nourish skin
- soothe skin issues
- prevent wrinkles
- improve skins appearance
- heel cracked skin & heels
- and more without the use of any chemicals or preservatives

Berkshire workshops give old clothes new life
PITTSFIELD — Sewing is, admittedly, a skill — it's not something you can master in an afternoon.
But there are many simple sewing projects that you can master in about an hour, even if you don't have a sewing machine.
There are also a few easy modifications you can make to old clothes to give them some new purpose. (That's not a reference to those staged Pinterest photos of old hoodies becoming prom dresses.) An old sweater can quickly become a pair of new mittens by tracing around existing mittens with about -inch of extra space, then sewing. Sweater arms can become leg warmers with just a little hemming on each end.
If you're looking for something more fun and maybe a bit experimental, Crispina ffrench, who with Chris Swindlehurst owns Shire City Sanctuary in Pittsfield, runs regular workshops with all materials provided. In past workshops, old sweaters became blankets, scarves, rag rugs, etc. via easy-to-learn techniques. From Feb. 27-28, she'll host a sweater dress workshop where participants make and take home a unique garment made with all recycled materials.
ffrench, whose work has been featured by retailers like Anthropologie and is the author of "Sweater Chop Shop," a book of "used clothing alchemy" ideas and methods, doesn't use patterns — she works around existing garments, sewing together squares and rectangles until she's got a unique, aesthetically pleasing item.
Ericka Traven of Williamstown is an experienced sewist who runs workshops at the North Adams Maker's Mill. She makes almost all the clothes she wears, and she's dedicated to mending wardrobe items as much as possible. She looks for clothing and material deals at thrift stores — a big linen tablecloth or a giant, size XXL muumuu-style dress will get you a lot of good material to work with, she said.
"If it's from the thrift store, it's a really small investment," she said.
Practice makes perfect — to be really good at this, you've got to have some idea what you're doing, which takes time.
"You learn more about garment construction each time you play," Traven said.
Both Traven and ffrench suggested turning imperfections in clothing into embellishments — adding a heart patch, or "embroidery that celebrates the imperfection," ffrench said. Traven is hosting a workshop today on visible mending at the Maker's Mill.
It's important to mention the philosophy behind all this mending and repurposing. The new clothing we buy is, with rare exception, produced outside of the U.S. by people — and children — who are poorly paid. We live in a world with finite resources, yet our new clothes wear out quickly, according to ffrench
"Older stuff seems to have so much more quality to it," ffrench said. "Clothing now — the quality of the material and the craftsmanship is not what it used to be."
Recycling existing items and keeping things we do buy in wearable condition is another way to live with less environmental impact. This is the crux of "slow fashion," a term the Makers' Mill uses in describing Traven's upcoming workshop.
"It's important to know where everything we consume comes from," Traven said. "Clothes are sewn by hand. No matter where they're sewn, someone is sewing them by hand."
