That feeling you get when:
- You walk into a shop that's selling off its excess Christmas chocolates at 80% off
- You had a long day in the office and you realise it's Two For Tuesdays at Dominos Pizza, or
- You finally bring to life the garment you've had in your head for a couple of years
I love all of these things (especially the food-related ones, can you tell the fat girl in me still lives?! ?) but this week we're talking about that last one – guys, the shirt that's been a vision for so long is now an actual real thing ?
I've had the fabric set aside for a western shirt ever since I bought it – it's 'Deadwood Saloon' by Alexander Henry and I knew I'd make an outrageously loud cowboy shirt for the husbeast with it ? I managed to score the last almost-two-metres (181cm, to be precise) from modes4u.com – in February 2017 ? Two years ago!
I looked around at the western shirt patterns that were available, and wasn't really taken by any of them. They just weren't… outrageous enough. This Simplicity 1327 one (shown above, with the v. boring shaped yoke) was the main contender until I stumbled across the pièce de résistance – the Folkwear range of patterns. Up until my discovery, I wasn't aware that the brand 'Folkwear Patterns' even existed. Having a little look on their website, they produce sewing patterns for all manner of traditional clothing – ranging from things you might get away with in everyday life to totally outrageous outfits:
Japanese Kimono, anyone?
No? How about a Bolivian Milkmaid's jacket?
Or, the pattern I've used – the Frontier Shirts:
We started to discuss initial plans for the garment – it was, after all, a shirt for the husbeast, so I wanted his input.
I see now that this was a mistake.
The husbeast got a little *too* excited over the whole thing – he got talking progressively faster and more crazily about suede, metal poppers, fringing, embroidery, and all sorts before I finally had to shush him so he didn't start hyperventilating and/or having twitch-eye.
I let him have the suede, and the poppers that he wanted, but I drew the line at fringing. Though I doubt he's going to forget about it so I'm sure I'll be making some sort of fringed jacket at some point in the future ??♀
We settled on the pattern in the bottom left corner, minus the fancy bits on the yoke. NO FRINGING.
The husbeast experimented with drafting his own suede shapes for the front and back yoke, but we never quite came up with anything we were totally happy with. In the end, we copied the shape of the original front yoke but made it a bit shallower as we didn't want it to cover up too much of the cowboy print.
Then came the decisions on the colour of suede and piping to use – the initial plan was to use a dark brown suede with a cornflower blue piping (to match the blue in the shirt). I tried really hard to source the right shade of blue satin fabric to make the piping (the husbeast specifically said he wanted shiny piping rather than matte piping ?) but sadly I was defeated. I did find some velvet ribbon that was the right shade of blue, but the pile made it so thick that I didn't think it would work underneath the already-thick suede (and I would have been correct). So in the end I went with dark brown ready-made satin bias tape, and made some piping from that. It actually looks pretty good – I'm happy with the colour and think it works really well with the overall colour scheme of the shirt.
The (faux) suede took a couple of attempts to find the right shade of brown (which we changed from 'dark brown' to more 'medium tan' after we decided on dark brown for the piping) and also the right 'feel' – we originally bought a metre of what we thought we had in mind from Minerva Crafts, but when it arrived it wasn't quite the right colour and also it felt more 'faux' than we wanted it to. In the end, we bought a metre from Mood Fabrics – described as 'copper' – and had it shipped to the UK (with other fabrics, obvs, to share the shipping costs ??). When it arrived, it was perfect ?? The perfect colour and the perfect hand feel. Almost as good as the real thing. Mood actually do a really good job of photographing and describing their fabrics online – I like that you can see a close up of the fabric and also a photo of the entire length and width of it too. It really gives you an idea of scale.
They are out of stock of the suede now, but in case it helps anyone – here's the fabric I bought:
With all the fabrics bought, it was time to get started on bringing this bad boy to life.
The Folkwear pattern is the first one I've discovered that lets you choose your collar size and your body size (mind = blown ?). I'd also heard really good things about the sleeve placket – and I can confirm that it's a good'un.
I was quite short on fabric, having just under 2, so pattern matching was going to be tough. The sewn-on placket breaks up the front anyway, so you can get away with a bit more slack on the matchy-matchy-ness than you could if it was a fold-over placket. This is the first shirt I've made where the placket is sewn on rather than simply a folded extension of the shirt front, and although it's a bit more effort it does open the door for a contrast placket/cuff combo even with regular cotton fabrics.
A teflon roller foot comes in bloody handy when sewing with suede – a teflon foot without those rollers does naff all (I speak from experience), you need those rollers to help reduce the drag on the bottom of the foot. Scotch tape on the underside of the foot – which is frequently recommended to help with sticky fabrics like leather and suede – also does naff all. Don't even bother wasting your time, as I did, trying to trim the tape to the exact size you need to fit the bottom of the foot. You may as well spend your time chanting to the teflon fairies, it'll do the same amount of good.
Three words:
Teflon. Roller. Foot.
That is all.
Cutting the suede was quite interesting – it's proper thick! The rotary cutter was just about up the challenge, but you need a fair amount of elbow grease behind it. As for sewing it, I'd recommend using a leather needle – but if you don't have a leather needle at least use a decent heavy one. A leather needle has a sort of knife-blade edge rather than a 'point' to help cut a hole through the thicker fabric, like this:
Not as scary as it sounds, but be sensible and mind yo' fingers.
I found it easier to attach the piping to the suede pieces before attaching the suede to the shirt body – first I basted the piping in place on the right side of the suede, then turned it to the reverse side so that just the piped edge shows from the right side. Then, I placed the suede piece (with piping attached) on top of the shirt, and topstitched just inside the suede edge. This meant, however, that there was a little 'flappy edge' formed – the area from my topstitching line to the very edge of the piping wasn't secured. To combat this, I then stitched in the ditch around the edge again. This second row of stitching was in the 'ditch' where the piping met the suede – so it's invisible from the right side (apart from where I've gone a little wibbly and strayed off the line ?) but means you can see it on the inside of the shirt. The suede pieces just felt a little more secure on the shirt with that extra line of stitching, and there wasn't so much of a flap around each piece (okay so the 'flap' was only a few mm, but it was annoying).
Unlike the Republique Du Chiffon Joliane shirt I made for myself, where I painfully sewed together the curved yoke and shirt front, the Folkwear pattern simply cuts the shirt front as a whole and the yoke is overlaid. SO. MUCH. SIMPLER. I wish that the Jolaine shirt had been constructed this way. You just attach the piping to the suede pieces, and then topstitch the yoke onto the shirt.
Job done.
You could choose from plain plackets (as in the same as a regular formal shirt), or plackets with a suede piece behind them. I knew – just knew – that the suede ones would be the plackets the husbeast wanted, because they are just so extra. They are massive, and legit come up to his elbow. I'll admit that they do look pretty damn cool, though. The tower placket construction itself was actually neat and easy to get a good finish on – I will be stealing this to use on other shirts for sure ?
The cuffs, collar and front placket are suede on the outside, but fabric on the underside because I didn't want to create too much thickness – a double layer of suede might be a *touch* too much.
Underneath the suede yoke on the back, there is actually a cotton yoke too – the suede covers the join between the back piece and the yoke though so you don't know that it's there ? One change (and I think the only change ?) I made to the instructions was to add an inner yoke facing – I cut the yoke piece twice instead of once, and used one on the inside to enclose the join between outer yoke and body. Because I was oh-so short on fabric already, even before cutting the extra yoke piece, I had to cut the facings of the collar and collar stand horizontal on the fabric rather than vertical – but the pieces are so small you can't tell anyway (and the husbeast hasn't noticed so shhhhh ??).
After all the faff of finding the right suede – checking colours, trying to gauge the weight and feel of it – the one thing I forgot to check was whether it was actually washable ??♀ It wasn't until I'd almost finished making the shirt that the thought dawned on me… and I figured that I'd just chuck it in the wash when the time came and see what happened. I'll be honest – I don't dry clean anything. Wool coats get washed in cold water in the bath. Silk goes in the machine on a cold delicates wash with silk detergent. Wool jumpers also go in the machine on a cold, no-spin cycle. Yes, even the ones that say DO NOT WASH (why do manufacturers even make things you can't wash?! ??♀). I've only ever shrunk one jumper in my time – and even that was many years ago – because I forgot to set it on a cold cycle and the combination of heat and spin didn't end well.
So after the photo shoot, and after he'd worn it to work to show it off to everyone, in the wash it went. Cold cycle ? And it turned out fine ?? The same way that it's turned out after every wash since. Dry-clean shmy-clean ?
I wanted antique brass snaps, rather than shiny gold, but it seems they were not to be found. Now that they are on there though, the gold actually looks alright.
I used these hemline snaps from Minerva Crafts – the same as the ones I used on my Joliane shirt, but without the pearly bit – and they're pretty good. Just make sure you line up your fronts before you start installing them – and by that I mean check yo' piping is level on either side of the placket. Because it'll look a bastard if it's uneven.
The snaps are easy-ish to install (you need a hammer) and none of them have failed yet. I used the plastic installation tool but found that I couldn't quite get enough force with it, so I'd use that to anchor the snaps in place, give it a smack and then remove the tool – and then give the snaps another final whack directly to set them in. I didn't put a snap right at the top on the collar stand, because the husband never wears his shirt collars closed, although I suspect that's because he finds shirt collars tight on RTW items. I cut the 15 inch collar size, so for the next shirt I might try the 16 inch collar and see if that's more comfortable for him.
I'd say compared to the Vogue shirts that I have made for the husbeast, this one is a more casual fit – the sleeves are one-piece, and the back is just in two pieces (yoke and main body). The Vogue shirts have two piece sleeves – which means that you end up with exposed edges of fabric on the inside because you can't french seam the edge which turns into the placket – and the back is divided into four: centre back, two side backs and the yoke. Which obviously makes pattern matching impossible.
Mission Impossible, you might even say.
The husbeast doesn't really have a need for 'formal' shirts in his workplace – although we both work in the oh-so-sensible world of finance, we work in creative agencies where jeans and trainers are the order of the day so I think I might try making this Folkwear pattern from some Liberty lawn and see how it turns out. It's also looking like the top contender for the Liberty silk that I managed to snaffle a couple of metres of, which I've been holding on to until I found the right pattern. I wanted a looser-fit non-fuss shirt without too many seams, so that the silk can flow and show off its pattern, and the Frontier Shirt just *might* be the one.
Overall, I'm actually pretty damn pleased with this shirt – both in looks and the actual sewing. Not to blow my own trumpet (but actually that's exactly what I'm gonna do ?), but it looks frickin' amazing, and it's defo my most favourite shirt I've made ever and one of my fave creations to date. Looks aside, the tower placket turned out pretty well, the fit through the body is good, and it's finished well on the inside, so actually it seems as though you can have both looks and personality ??♀
Once I'd made the shirt, the dilemma of where to photograph it became apparent. Where the hell do you find a western backdrop in London? What I pictured was something out of Westworld… but of course that's nowhere to be found ?
So our upcoming trip to New York became my next option, and I started researching where I might find a suitable location. We were planning on visiting Philadelphia and Washington DC, so I held out hope that between the three cities, I'd find somewhere.
I stumbled across Alexandria Old Town, in Virginia. It wasn't quite as 'old' a town as I was looking for, but it would do. And, we could get a train there from where we were staying in Washington DC.
On the way back from Alexandria, there was a spot called Gravelly Point where you could watch the planes come in to land at Ronald Reagan airport. The husbeast is a plane geek so I knew he'd love this, and it made the train journey and day out about something more than just about taking a few photos. The runway is SO close to where you can stand, and as we were walking to find a viewing spot, a plane was making its descent and I legit genuinely panicked for a moment that it was lower than it should have been and that it was going to land on us. I even ducked. Possibly shrieked a little. Anyone that saw me probably thought I was a right moron ?
But srsly guys, look how low this plane is, flying over the traffic on the road:
For context, that time I panicked, we were walking right under the path of the plane. I had no idea that planes took that path on to the runway.
Imagine you're taking a leisurely walk, and something catches your attention off to the side. You turn your head, and you see a dog running, happy as anything, and it warms your heart. But then you realise that the dog has massive fangs that are dripping with blood. And it's heading your way. And it's not a dog but a MASSIVE METAL SKY-VEHICLE APPROACHING YOU AT INCREDIBLE SPEED. That's exactly how this went down.
The husbeast enjoyed the time we spent watching the planes come in (from a much safer spot), so it was worth it. And the photos we got of the shirt are awesome, don't you think?
As we were taking the photos, one of the local trams made an appearance along the road behind – I panic-pressed the shutter to try to get a picture as I thought it would add to the 'olde-towne-vibe', and it was mildly successful if you look at the tram and not at the squinty face the husbeast is sporting ? (still love ya tho ?)
Because it's just *so* awesome, here's many, many photos of the shirt from every angle imaginable.
For your viewing pleasure.
You're welcome ✌?
Next week on the blog is the first knitting project – hats made for both me and the Handsome Husbeast ??

Cal/OSHA Urges Employers, Workers to Protect Against Hepatitis A Exposure
Yesterday, the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) issued guidance for health care employers on employee safety in light of the hepatitis A outbreaks in San Diego, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles counties. Cal/OSHA's recommended preventative measures include:
- Following standard precautions such as maintaining a clean and sanitary workplace, hand-washing and use of personal protective equipment
- Training at-risk employees in outbreak locations to understand how hepatitis A is transmitted and how to prevent infection
- Offering hepatitis A vaccinations to employees in outbreak locations who come into close contact with homeless persons or anyone using illicit drugs, and to employees who handle materials potentially contaminated with the hepatitis A virus
It is also recommended that hospitals in outbreak areas remain in contact with their local public health department to ensure they have the most up-to-date information. The Cal/OSHA guidance contains links to the San Diego, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles public health web pages dedicated to hepatitis A, along with links to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hepatitis A fact sheet and the California Department of Public Health hepatitis A web page.
CHA is also monitoring the situation and is in contact with the California Department of Public Health.

This summer I interned over at the Correctional Association of New York City, a non-profit dedicated to prisoners rights. They are made up of three collations: The Prison Visiting project, The Juvenile Justice Project, and the Women In Prisons Project. I mostly worked with the Women In Prisons Project but I also did some research for the Prison Visiting Project.
The Women In Prisons Project is trying to get a bill passed in New York state called the Domestic Violence Survivor's Act. This bill would allow judges to break the mandatory sentencing requirements for a person who is convicted of a crime as a result of domestic violence. It also advocates for alternate to incarceration programs in place of prison. 75% of women incarcerated women in New York state crime was committed as a result of domestic violence. By sending these women to jail, the criminal justice system is further punishing them for being abused. If the Domestic Violence Survivors act is passed it will result in women having better access to rehabilitation. Also it is a cost effective bill because less people would be in prison. I spent my days organizing advocacy letters about the people to the state congress and state assembly members urging them to support the bill.
I also did some work with the Prison Visiting Project. I looked through past reports on solitary confinement. I looked for analogies used to describe solitary confinement. I made a list of the most effective analogies. The Prison Visiting Project is planning on publishing a report on the abuse of solitary confinement and will use the analogies I found as inspiration for their own analogies.
"For Friends the Testimony of equality begins with the belief that the Light is present in us all. All are deserving of respect, no matter what our differences. When we respect the Light in ourselves and others, we encourage all to turn inward for guidance and truth."
I believe this quote perfectly embodies my experience at the correctional association. There is a serious stigma in our society about criminals. Many people think we should just throw them in prison so they are out of sight and out of mind. It always struck me that prisoners are among the most powerless people. While many prisoners commit crimes and deserve to be punished, they have a right to a humane prison environment. I also believe that some people are imprisoned who are innocent or for whom other forms of rehabilitation may be more appropriate. Many of my colleagues at the Correctional Association were formally incarcerated. They had experienced the injustices of our prison system. Now they are woking on the other side, trying to better the awful system they had to withstand. I learned that people's past mistakes don't define them, the important thing is what they learn from them. By mindlessly throwing people to the inhumane prison system, we are not giving them the tools they need to become successful members of society.

Calling and election sure
Posted by Robert C. on July 15, 2007
Jake W. has asked another good question:
[W]hat does it mean to make your "calling and election made sure,"? Does this mean we should "wear out our lives," until God appears before us and personally decrees us one of His chosen? Is this tied into Paul's teaching of "working out our own salvation with fear and trembling,"? Joseph Smith did at times plead with the early Saints to make their calling and election sure, if I'm not mistaken. It sounds very important.
This is probably a question better taken up at the wiki, for example on the 2 Pet 1:10 page, but since most of what I've read on this comes from McConkie's Doctrinal New Testament Commentary on 2 Peter, v. 3, pp. 324ff (sorry, the link is the BYU access link since I'm off campus—which is to know for BYU students or faculty, but not very handy for the rest of you! I'll try to remember to post a "normal" link later…), rather than a result of my own careful textual study. Anyway, here is one quote from Joseph Smith that McConkie gives:
Joseph Smith taught: "After a person has faith in Christ, repents of his sins, and is baptized for the remission of his sins and receives the Holy Ghost (by the laying on of hands), which is the first Comforter, then let him continue to humble himself before God, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, and living by every word of God, and the Lord will soon say unto him, Son, thou shall be exalted. When the Lord has thoroughly proved him, and finds that the man is determined to serve him at all hazards, then the man will find his calling and election made sure, then it will be his privilege to receive the other Comforter." To receive the other Comforter is to have Christ appear to him and to see the visions of eternity. (Teachings, pp. 149-151.) [from Mormon Doctrine, p. 109, under the heading "Calling and election Sure"]
I think this is different but related to references to "second anointings" in early Church historical documents, but I'm not sure about that. At any rate, it seems that, at least in the early days of the restoration, there were certain ordinances performed in the temple besides just endowments and sealings (and baptisms for the dead). I've heard second (or third, or probably more!) hand that such ordinances are still performed but they are relatively rare and not talked about when they occur, because of the sacred nature of such an occurrence. For this reason, I think it might be a bit of a dead end trying to learn everything possible about these rather mysterious things. On the other hand, there are so many passages in the Book of Mormon and D&C that seem to adamantly promise some sort of visitation experience similar to that described by Joseph Smith in the quote above, that I think it is a bit irresponsible and silly not to take up this topic quite seriously and carefully.
Sorry I can't be of more help than this, Jake, but surely someone else will have something more helpful to say.

Oh, this is a lot of help. I just hope this post gets a lot of attention. I believe I actually read that quote by J.S. What concerns me about my calling and election being made sure is that I'm wondering how that's tied into my bid for the Celestial Kingdom. Now, D&C 132: 19, among other places, says that one must be married to a wife
"by my word… by the new and everlasting covenant, and it is sealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of promise… and it shall be said unto them–ye shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it be after the first resurrection, in the next resurrection;"
And it goes on to say that because of all this the happy couple will become Gods over all. Is the Comforter that Joseph mentions and the Holy Spirit of promise the same person, meaning Christ? Are Celestial inheritence and Calling and Election made sure the same thing? If God does not appear before me and reveal unto me the visions of eternity in this life, will I inherit celestial glory?
Personally, I'm inclined to think otherwise. However, if the two elections are separate, then doesn't that seem to place calling and election made sure on a more grand scale than Celestial glory? Does seeing God in the flesh in this life promise you higher glories than that of the Celestial Kingdom? If not, what is it's purpose?

Yeah, I remember some rumors going around in my mission about this door in the Salt Lake Temple that only the President can open and you get a call from his office telling you to come to the temple on a Sunday and when you get there this door is open and you receive the "second anointing" from the Prophet himself. I regard this as simply another one of those awesome rumors that missionaries love to talk about. I have seen a door in the celestial room of the SLC temple that does not appear to go into a publicly accessible room. I have heard other explanations for it, such as that it is the "Holy of Holies" and that the Prophet has the only key. Again, this is all speculation with nothing to recommend it but the gossip-mongering of missionaries.
July 16, 2007 at 7:13 am
J. Stapley, Ehat's thesis is very helpful, but it is hardly a commentary on D&C 132!
AHLDuke, I don't know about Sunday mornings or only keys, etc., but the central of the three doors to the right when one enters the celestial room in the Salt Lake Temple does open onto a staircase that leads to the holy of holies (several sources make this quite clear), and there are several sources that make it quite clear that the highest ordinances of the gospel are performed there. I think this is a case where the "gossip-mongering of missionaries" contains a partial truth.
July 23, 2007 at 8:37 pm
Gossip makes me sick.
The president of the church doesn't make this call, the Lord does. God has elected his people, and has called them to serve him. When your "calling and election" is sure, you will know it because you've made an everlasting commitment to keep and obey the law of the gospel. You will know it because you have a constant prayer in your heart, and receive daily (if not hourly) promptings and revelations. You will have overcome the world, which will hold no more interest for you. Your ultimate joy will be to sacrifice your time and resources for others, so that they may also be brought to understand and believe in Christ.
Do you want to experience this? Do you want to walk with him, and submit your will to him? Are you ready to listen to him, and honor him with your words and deeds? Do you rejoice and glorify in him?
Then ask yourself, how diligent am I in keeping the commandments? How pure are my thoughts? Am I virtuous, temperate, and patient? How much charity do I daily demonstrate toward others? How much do I know about God and his son, Jesus Christ? In short, can you call yourself a man (or woman) of God?
Then ask God, with a sincere heart, for him to reveal himself to you. Be ready to experience a mighty change in your heart. Be still, and listen.
September 29, 2007 at 9:00 pm
D&C 93:1 The man of God who understands Gods plan and purpose in man, after entering through the gate of the everlasting gospel will not be satisfied nor rest his agency until the event occurs that brings to him an absolute assurance that he has been saved and that godhood will be obtained. Ask, and ye shall receive, knock, and He will open. 2 Nephi 32.

Murdered Bihar journalist wrote on jailed RJD leader Shahabuddin
A senior Hindustan journalist's murder in Bihar's Siwan is identical to the killing of a political operative two years ago and an aide of Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Mohammad Shahabuddin is suspected in both cases, police said on Saturday.india Updated: May 14, 2016 19:27 IST
A senior Hindustan journalist's murder in Bihar's Siwan is almost identical to the killing of a political operative two years ago and an aide of Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Mohammad Shahabuddin is suspected in both cases, police said on Saturday.
Investigators told HT Hindi daily Hindustan's Siwan bureau chief Rajdeo Ranjan spent the last few months probing the 2014 death of Shrikant Bharti and implicated Shahabuddin in the murder in newspaper reports.
The former RJD parliamentarian is a local strongman who is serving a life sentence for the murder of two brothers.
"The case has an uncanny resemblance to Bharti's murder in November 2014. The place and site of Bharti and Rajdeo's murder have great similarity -- crowd cover used to make getaways," said Saran deputy inspector general of police Ajit Rai.
Top police officials confirmed the "uncanny resemblance" and said both murders were executed with the same professionalism and finesse."If it is such a case, it could even be a politically aided killing," they said.
Ranjan, 42, was gunned down by criminals on Friday evening on the busy station road in Siwan, triggering outrage and underscoring the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.
Bharti was a close aide of BJP's Siwan MP, Om Prakash Yadav. Investigations revealed the killer was hired from Mhow in Uttar Pradesh, and Upendra Singh, an aide of Shahbuddin, was involved. Police have detained Upendra Singh and are questioning him.
Read: Bihar: CCTV footage of Hindustan journo Rajdeo Ranjan's murder missing
Unlike the 2014 murder, the killers this time used silencers to muffle the sound of the shot to not scare the crowd.
In the last four months, Ranjan focused on the link between Shahabuddin and the murders of Bharti and another case where two brothers were soaked in acid and burnt -- the crime in which the RJD leader is incarcerated.
"It seems from a scan of his writings that he had written extensively on the ex-MP and the activities of his aides. Maximum reports are on them and he had earned bylines on each. We are looking at a possible connection to the crime," police said.
The journalist's father -- Radhkrishna Choudhary, a small farmer – said his son had no enemy. But he demanded a CBI inquiry, saying he had no faith in the local or state administration.
"Everbody knows, at whose instance my son has been killed," he said.
Rai said Ranjan's mobile phone records indicate he was called away from office at around 7.30 pm to a spot close to the site of the murder.
"The route did not fall in Nandan's regular way home and it seems he left his office after receiving a call," police said.

Iowa Crop Progress and Conditions Report
Nov. 25 – Dec. 1, 2019
DES MOINES, Iowa (Dec. 2, 2019) – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig today commented on the Iowa Crop Progress and Conditions report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service.
"Several days of unfavorable weather conditions kept many farmers out of the fields last week," said Secretary Naig. "With corn and some soybeans still standing, this is the latest harvest since 2009, and farmers are anxious to finish up."
The weekly report is also available on the USDA's website at nass.usda.gov.
Crop Report
Rain and snow suspended harvest activity and limited other fieldwork across much of Iowa as farmers were held to 3.1 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending December 1, 2019, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Wet conditions have producers inching toward the finish line as the 2019 harvest nears completion.
Ninety-two percent of the corn for grain crop has been harvested, 11 days behind last year and 2 weeks behind the 5-year average. Producers in the Northeast and South Central Districts had greater than 15 percent of their crop left to be harvested while all others had 10 percent or less remaining. Moisture content of field corn being harvested for grain was at 19 percent.
Livestock producers have been feeding hay and grazing cattle on corn stalks. Muddy conditions and snow covered fields have been unsuitable for making bedding for overwintering livestock.
Weather Summary
Provided by Justin Glisan, Ph.D., State Climatologist, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship
Multiple strong low pressure systems brought active weather to the Midwest, capping off the last week of November. All forms of precipitation — from rain and snow to freezing rain and hail — were reported across Iowa. Much of the state experienced unseasonable wetness with up to an inch above average across northern Iowa. Only southwestern Iowa reported slight deficits. Above average snowfall was also reported across northwestern Iowa with anywhere from two to six inches above normal. In terms of temperature, Iowa's statewide average was 4.5 degrees warmer than normal at 34.2 degrees.
Warmer than average conditions prevailed across Iowa through Sunday (24th) under partly to mostly sunny skies. Daytime highs reached into the upper 40s across northern Iowa while southern Iowa reported mid to upper 50s. The average statewide high was 53 degrees, 12 degrees above normal. Slightly cooler temperatures persisted into Monday (25th) as a weak cold front pushed through, shifting winds out of the northwest into the evening hours. Light rain associated with the frontal passage was reported at a handful of stations. Overnight lows remained well above average with departures up to 16 degrees warmer than average; the average morning low of 30 degrees was eight degrees above normal.
Cloud cover began increasing on Tuesday (26th) as winds shifted to the northeast ahead of the first low pressure to impact Iowa. A mix of rain and snow fell across central and southern Iowa and transitioned to moderate snow across northwestern Iowa during the nighttime and overnight hours. Near blizzard conditions were reported as strong northern winds built in behind the system. Sustained winds peaked above 30 mph with gusts in the 35-40 mph range; Estherville Municipal Airport (Emmet County) reported a peak wind gust of 47 mph with near whiteout conditions. Snow totals reported on Wednesday (27th) morning were highest in northwest and north-central Iowa with Sanborn (O'Brien County) observing 8.6 inches; over 40 stations reported totals above three inches.
Thanksgiving Day (28th) was overcast with light rain and snow showers. Liquid equivalent totals were generally under 0.30 inch while high temperatures remained in the upper 20s and low 30s. An additional wave of moderate rain moved through Iowa on Friday (29th) as temperatures remained above freezing. Heavier showers and isolated freezing rain were observed in Iowa's northwest corner with stations in O'Brien, Plymouth and Sioux counties reporting totals over an inch.
Precipitation cleared the state during Saturday (30th) morning, though overcast skies remained across much of Iowa in advances of a third low pressure system moving through Nebraska. Highs ranged from the upper 40s north to low 50s south, where partly sunny skies allowed for warmer temperatures. Unstable atmospheric conditions during the late afternoon allowed isolated strong thunderstorms to form across central Iowa. A brief spin-up rope tornado was reported near Guthrie Center (Guthrie County), though no damage was observed. Pea-sized hail was also reported around the Des Moines (Polk County) metro area. As the last hours of November ticked away, the low pushed into Iowa, bringing light rain and snow showers across western Iowa as overnight lows hovered around the freezing mark; the average statewide low was 31 degrees, 12 degrees above normal. As of 7 a.m. on Sunday (1st) snow totals were light and generally under a half of an inch.
Weekly precipitation totals ranged from 0.15 inch in Red Oak (Montgomery County) to 2.27 inches in Sibley (Osceola County). The statewide weekly average precipitation was 0.83 inch, while the normal is 0.48 inch. The average snowfall across Iowa was 1.50 inches with Sibley (Osceola County) reporting 10.4 inches.
The week's high temperature of 61 degrees was observed on the 24th at Knoxville (Marion County) and Oskaloosa (Mahaska County), on average 18 degrees above normal. The week's low temperature of 18 degrees was reported on the 28th at Mason City Municipal Airport (Cerro Gordo County), which is the climatological normal. Soil temperatures as of Sunday were generally in the mid to upper 30s.

A driver who fled from the scene of a hit-and-run on Nov. 13 on Highway 20 has been arrested, the California Highway Patrol reported.
CHP officers arrested Sergio Plascencia Serrano, 43, of Colusa on the charge of leaving the scene of an accident. He was arrested without incident and booked into the Colusa County Jail with bail set at $25,000.

Moreno was transported by Enloe Flight Care to Enloe Hospital. According to a family member, Moreno is recovering in a Sacramento area hospital.■

The papers in this volume were, with a few exceptions, presented at the third Island Invasives conference, held in Dundee, Scotland in July 2017. The papers demonstrate up-scaling in several aspects of eradication operations – not least in ambition, land area, operational size, global reach and of course financial cost. In the space of a few decades, the size of islands treated for invasive species has increased by five orders of magnitude – from a few hectares to over 100,000 ha or 1,000 km2.
During the 45 years that the Raoul Island weed eradication programme has been underway, eleven species have been eradicated. To complete the restoration of Raoul Island's unique ecosystems supporting signi?cant seabird biodiversity and endemic biota, nine further transformer weeds must be eradicated. In this review of progress to date, we examine the feasibility of eradication of these transformers and identify that four species are on target for eradication: African olive (Olea europaea subsp.

There are also times during cold, wet weather when the outdoor coil may ice up and your heat pump will go into a defrost cycle. This is nothing more than reversing the process back to cooling mode. Cooling mode makes the outdoor coil hot and melts any ice. The defrost cycle should only last a few minutes and then return to heating mode. During the defrost cycle, your comfort system is in cooling mode and the supply air is cool. To offset this cool air, the auxiliary heat will be energized during defrost. A mist or fog may be visible from the outdoor unit during defrost.
Yes, there are a couple. The first is that you get constant filtering of the air in your home. The second is that because the air is moving, you have a more even temperature throughout the home. However, continuous fan mode during the cooling season may not be appropriate in humid climates. If the inside of your home feels uncomfortably humid, it is recommended that the fan be used in "Auto" mode.
Sizing HVAC equipment is very important from the standpoints of both comfort and energy use. Heating and cooling equipment that are over-capacity will not run as frequently or as long when it does run. In both cases, this may mean poor humidity control. It could also result in temperature variations or noticeable cycling. Over-capacity equipment will not be as energy efficient as properly matched capacity either. On the other hand, equipment that is under-sized, will obviously result in loss of comfort during temperature extremes.
Heating and cooling systems sizing is based on B.T.U.H. (British Thermal Units Per Hour). Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps are also rated in tonnage. 12,000 BTUH equals one (1) ton. Residential systems can range from 1 to 5 tons
Is it making strange noises? Is it cooling or heating all areas of your home sufficiently? Has it been taking longer to cool down or heat up? Have your utility bills been rising for no apparent reason? Any of these are signs that you may have a problem that needs service. In most cases, the longer you delay, the worse any underlying problems will get. So be sure to contact Horizon Services to check out your system whenever you notice anything out of the ordinary.
Check to be sure that the air conditioner or furnace is turned on. Check that the breakers and the disconnects are turned on and be sure the thermostat is set correctly. Also make a note of any strange noises or smells.
You should have maintenance done on your air conditioning system at least once a year – spring to early summer being the best times. This not only ensures maximum efficiency, it enables us to foresee any possible problems that may occur in the near future.
In addition to changing my filters, what maintenance should I do on my heater and/or air conditioner?
Most maintenance should be performed only by a qualified service technician. But here are some things that you can do to assure optimal performance:
- Keep ground mounted outdoor units clear of debris, clutter and weeds; they can reduce the airflow to the unit.
- Use caution with weed trimmers around the unit to prevent damaging control wiring.
- Keep pets away from the unit; pet urine can cause expensive damage.
In general, All Pro Heating and Air recommends that you replace your disposable filters at least once a month. If you have washable filters, they should be cleaned once a month. Your All Pro Heating and Air service technician will recommend a replacement schedule that delivers the optimum efficiency and filtration for your specific system. With a All Pro Heating and Air Service Partner Plan, we clean and inspect your HVAC system twice each year. Part of the service includes changing the filters or servicing your filtering system. Unless you have special circumstances, our service should be adequate. We recommend that you visually check filters and filtering equipment monthly. If filters look dirty, they need to be cleaned or replaced.
Regular filter replacement helps your heating and cooling system operate at peak levels and improves indoor air quality. It is important to change filters regularly to ensure proper air flow and to keep your home free from dust, allergens and germs. Depending on the type of filter you have, you may require weekly or monthly filter replacements. Your Horizon Services service or installation technician will recommend the ideal filters and replacement schedules for your unit(s).
The most important part of HVAC maintenance aspect is maintaining unrestricted air flows. Dust, dirt, and debris are an HVAC system's worst enemies. Whether it's an indoor or outdoor unit, you must keep all filters clean and heat exchangers and coils free of restrictions. We recommend that your heating and cooling system be checked and serviced twice a year; ideally a spring and autumn tune-up. Also we recommend that you change your filter regularly, depending on the type of filter you have. This alone can eliminate many of the most common problems that need fixing and can significantly reduce the likelihood of a serious breakdown.

When Verve put out the All in the Mind single (I should really call it an EP because of the importance of the songs here), it was as if the whole flaccid music scene of the early 1990s needed to be blown up. And Verve blew through it without a care in the world.
A better song than U2 could have done, All in the Mind hits with the kind of mastery no one was attempting at the time. One Way to Go and Man Called Sun are two of the greatest B-sides ever. You could rotate them around and any one of these tracks could have led off the EP.
I love the design, and the feel of this sleeve. I think the text disappears at the bottom, but the rest of the sleeve is so well done.
