We do sell samples of most of our fabrics. Look for the "Order Swatch" button associated with each fabric. This will indicate if a swatch is available for that particular fabric or not.
Because many of the fabrics we stock are non reorderable and are "special purchases", there is the possibility that a fabric could sell out by the time you receive your swatch.
Our Design Wall allows you to see how fabrics look together. You can add multiple fabric images to the Design Wall, rearrange them, view them next to or on top of each other, and add them all to your cart from one convenient window.
This item is a Non Reorderable item, meaning we can not order more of it.
"Last Chance" means the quantity available is running low. If you want to be sure you are able to get this item, we would encourage you to order it now, as it may become unavailable in the very near future.
Many of the items we purchase come to us from well known brand name design houses. This is first quality merchandise that we purchase at significant discounts and which we therefore are able to offer to you at remarkably low prices. A consequence of buying this Special Purchase merchandise is that we cannot reorder. So, when we are sold out, we will not be able to order any more.

Fun Activities on a Snowy Day in Edgerton
April 7th 2013 by admin in Uncategorized, Comments OffEdgerton, Minnesota sees its fair share of snow each year, and that often means many inches more than the average city in the United States. In other words, it is not unnatural for Edgerton to see a snowy day or two through the fall and winter months. However, snowy days can often lead to boredom, so here are some fun activities for a snowy day in Edgerton:
1. Have a snowman building contest. This one may seem obvious, but it is one of the oldest ways to have fun in the history of snow days! Have every member Read the rest of this entry »

LWN.net Weekly Edition for June 13, 2013
A report from pgCon 2013
One core problem of bufferbloat is that devices and device drivers are currently doing too much *uncontrolled* buffering. The TCP/IP stack itself is fine, however, 1) once a packet lands on the txqueue, it can be shaped, but rarely is.
2) Far worse, in many cases, especially in wireless routers, once a packet gets off the txqueue it lands in the driver's queue, which can be quite large, and can incur huge delays in further IP traffic.
Once the device driver's buffers are filled, no amount of traffic shaping at a higher level will help. Death will not release you.
Here's a specific example:
Linux's default txqueuelen is 1000. Even after you cut that to something reasonable, it then hits the device driver's buffers. The driver I'm specifically hacking on (the ath9k, patches available here: https://github.com/dtaht/Cruft/raw/master/bloat/558-ath9k... ) defaults to 507 buffers, (with some limiting factors as to the size of the 10 queues applied) for which it will retry to send up to 13 times.
Assume your uplink is 3Mbit/sec, what's your maximum latency? Assume your uplink is 128Kbit/sec, what's your maximum latency?
I'm not going to show the math here, it's too depressing. If you have an ath9k, try the above patch. there's one for the IWL going around. Many ethernet devices support ethtool...
The difference in overall network responsiveness with the crude ath9k patch above is amazing, and I've still got a long way to go with it.
This paper: http://www.cs.clemson.edu/~jmarty/papers/PID1154937.pdf strongly suggests that a maximum of 32 uncontrolled IP buffers be used in the general case (with 1 being an ideal). It also raises some other strong points.
There's plenty of experimental data out there now too, and experiments you can easily perform on your own devices.
Every device driver I have looked at defaults to uncontrolled buffers far in excess of that figure, usually at around 256 buffers, even before you count txqueuelen.
The key adjective here for coping with bufferbloat is to reduce uncontrolled" buffering, starting with the device driver(s) and working up to various means of traffic shaping and providing adequate feedback to TCP/ip streams (packet drop/ECN etc) to keep the servo mechanism(s) working.
LCA: Vint Cerf on re-engineering the Internet

In the case of a home gateway, my comcast's business class service is running at about 3Mbit/sec on the uplink.
Huge dark (unmanaged) buffers in the device affect latency really badly - not just for TCP/ip, but for stuff that would ordinary jump to the head of the queue - udp, dns, voip, gaming, NTP... ... and in some cases are so big as to break TCP/ip almost entirely.
We've been sizing device buffers as if it was all on gigE backbone networks. Nor have we been using reasonable AQM. I urge you to try the experiments mentioned earlier.

Endolumenal Therapy, An Issue of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics - E-Book
Available Formats | Price | |
ePub eBook | $99.00 | |
(With Adobe DRM, readable with Adobe Digital Editions for PCs and Macs, and on most mobile devices except Kindle) |
Today a number of gastrointestinal disorders that once required open surgical or percutaneous management are being managed with endolumenal therapies. This has led to an evolution of minimally invasive endolumenal approaches to many disorders. This issue reviews the progress made in the application of endolumenal therapies and not only discuss current applications but future efforts and directions for clinical investigation. Articles will focus on the scope of the problem, past management options, new endolumenal options, investigations with endolumenal therapy, current status (clinical trial results if available), and future directions.

Around a billion Valentine's Day cards are sent globally each year – about a quarter of all seasonal cards and then think of all those flowers and boxed chocolates covered in plastic and unrecyclable packaging! (Source here).
A no waste Valentine's Day could consist of the following:
- Handmade card out of what you can find at home (or a recycled paper card).
- Homemade baking and/or dinner, breakfast or even lunch.
- Only give presents with no, minimal or recyclable packaging or an experience gift like a romantic walk or night in a bed and breakfast.
- Give flowers from the garden – lots of roses still out in flower. And steer clear of any unnecessary packaging or that green oasis which goes straight to landfill. Get the flowers wrapped in plain paper (that can be reused or composted) or biodegradable cellophane.
- Give a hug (no packaging or waste at all!).
- Give a second hand or vintage gift (like vintage jewellery).
- Ensure you compost the flowers once they have died (and check where the flowers are coming from to reduce your impact on the environment).
- Buy fair trade organic chocolate – like Green and Blacks.
- Or the gift that keeps on giving like books (on FSC certified paper) or plants.
- Take your valentine to the new Valentine's Day movie which has been produced with the environment in mind during production reducing their carbon emissions by 67 tonnes and reusing 350 water bottles instead of 21,000 throw away plastic bottles. Read more about how Warner Brother's Greened their production here.
Love to know any other ideas that for a green Valentine's Day.

The NI 1778 Smart Camera features a monochrome Sony CCD image sensor with 2448x2050 (5 MP) resolution at 15 fps. It is one of the high-performance NI Smart Cameras that use a powerful Intel Atom 1.6 GHz processor for automated inspection applications. The rugged mechanical design, including IP67 housing, M12 connectors, and lens cover, protects the cameras against the harmful ingress of water (up to 1 m immersion) and dust. These high-performance NI Smart Cameras also include digital I/O lines (4 input, 4 output), an RS232 serial connection, and a Gigabit Ethernet connection to dynamically control lighting, synchronize with conveyor belts, and drive sorting mechanisms. The connectivity options support communications protocols such as Modbus, EtherNet I/P, and TCP I/P to interface with other industrial devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), programmable automation controllers (PACs), and human machine interfaces (HMIs). In addition, the NI 177x Smart Cameras feature a VGA video out connection to monitor inspection images. With the National Instruments machine vision software approach, you can configure your inspection with the easy-to-use, stand-alone NI Vision Builder for Automated Inspection software (included with NI Smart Cameras) or program it for more advanced customization using the NI Vision Development Module. Both options feature hundreds of built-in machine vision and image processing functions you can use to enhance images, check for presence, locate features, identify objects, and measure parts. The deterministic real-time operating system offers increased reliability for inspection systems that require long-term, continuous operation.

Re: LOW COMMOTIONI tried out the bars today, and put a set of wheels and tires on it. I'm not really diggin' the 26" look.......gotta get it much lower .......I'll have to see how 24's look, and slide the fork tubes up a bit.
Re: LOW COMMOTION - First LookNow I'm getting happier . Went back down to the workshop and changed the fork and wheels and tires.......it's starting to get the look I'm after. Just have to drop the rear a bit to level it out.
I've been getting home later from work this week and we've had some rain, so I'm hoping for finer weather this week-end to take a couple of outside/daylight pics.

Re: LOW COMMOTION - Wheelset update - May 5I managed to get a couple of jobs done today. I stripped the guts out of the mic case, so I can start building the tail light, and cut the chainguard brackets off the frame.

The former racist owner who was forced to integrate and the continued use of a racist name of course are related...to the racist legacy of the organization.Originally Posted by HAIL2BNG
"Redskins fans ignore the fact that we were last to integrate? Really? I am pretty sure most of us are well aware of that as well as the fact that Bobby Mitchell is the player who broke that barrier for us. That and the name Redskins aren't related at all."
Bad boy, you're trivializing again, smh.Originally Posted by HAIL2BNG
Good boy. Your real purpose is shining through. Haters hate. You pretending to have some altruistic motives is as vapid as your knowledge of the issue over the years.
I'm not pretending, I'm very clear about echoing the words and wants of NA's, another fail, nice try.
I don't "hate any team.
(it's just football) so you keep telling yourself what you need to believe.
I dislike the steelers like no other but I do respect them....your team doesn't matter enough to hate lol, thats for dallas, philly and new york fans.
"In fact, to address this pervasive problem, the Oneida Nation is now working with Native American media outlets and other Indian nations to establish a fund that will help schools that follow in Cooperstown's footsteps to offset the cost of making similar transitions," Halbritter wrote in the New York Daily News.
Halbritter said there are 900 "ethnically insensitive" nicknames and mascots across the country at all levels of sport.
"The owners of professional sports franchises like the Cleveland Indians, the Atlanta Braves and the Washington Redskins continue to disrespect the heritage of Native American people with mascots and logos that insultingly portray aspects of our culture as a cheap cartoon -- and nothing more," Halbritter wrote.
Yeah, they all insult them by choosing them to represent their teams. That's what usually happens. Teams are known for picking a mascot that is disrespectful and not meant to honor anyone. I've said part of me wants guys like Halbritter to get his way. Erase everything. No mention of them in anything. God forbid sports teams consider their ancestors warriors. I bet their ancestors are spinning in their graves hearing all the whining.
DOH!Originally Posted by HAIL2BNY
Yeah, they all insult them by choosing them to represent their teams. That's what usually happens.
I dont think the owners understand that theyre not honoring us, said Robert Holden, deputy director of the National Congress of American Indians. If theyre still saying that, please take it back. Honors like that we dont need, we dont want.
Open a dictionary to redskin. Merriam-Webster: usually offensive. Oxford: dated or offensive. Random House: often disparaging and offensive. Collins: now considered taboo.
Thats the black-and-white truth, not an honor.

In 2005, the NCAA announced it would ban the use of Native American mascots during postseason tournaments after its research found that the images had overwhelming evidence of potential harm.

Not only do you think you speak for NA's, now you think you speak for their dead ancestors, lol.Originally Posted by HAIL2BNY

The "winning" bet would be that they would be very proud!
The only whining whiner on this issue is clear, that would be the desperate whiney white kid in nyc!
Erase em all, close the casinos and start paying taxes. Peace pipe on it?
Peace Pipe?
I'll have a beer over it thought.
The issue doesn't end because you say "uncle", you have no say in the matter.
When it happens it'll be because $nyder finally capitulate$!
WBNG no less bwahaha
"The questions of where you go to school, and what's your mascot nickname come up and they found themselves to be a bit uncomfortable in the conversation,"
"The (student) concerns are with the insensitivity that they perceived in the name "Redskins" and how it pertained to Native peoples,"
Now the school board will vote to decide if a new nickname should be adopted. The potential change is getting a lot attention in the community.
"I think that many of them are very pleased to see the possibility of change within their school community.
"Really just kind of a realization that time's changed and perceptions changed and if there was anyone who was offended by that then we need to take a hard look at it," Herbert said.
A change that could start a new tradition at Cooperstown Central School.
WBNG??????? OHHH the irony
The Oneida Indian Nation was so moved by the actions of the Cooperstown students, that a letter by Oneida Nation Representative Ray Halbritter was written to the students, commending their decision and offering to make a contribution to help offset the cost of changing mascots. In response to Wednesday night's vote by the Cooperstown Board of Education, Oneida Nation Representative Ray Halbritter said, "We congratulate the Board of Education on its decision to transition to a new, more inclusive mascot.
more adorable-er
They should change the mascot to the people who won.
They'll change it to whatever they like.
Your opinion is worthless.

WorldFlix announces the launch of FanBlaze: A crowdfunding social network centered on connecting fans and independent artists. But can it truly stand out in a time where crowdfunding is everywhere?
Los Angeles, Calif. (PRWEB) January 01, 2013
The FanBlaze social network offers something new and innovative in crowdfunding—the site will benefit filmmakers, artists and musicians with their fans in a whole new way of engagement. "I like to suggest it's equatable to frequent- flyer-miles for fans, meets, network-marketing for creatives," says CEO and Founder of WorldFlix, Brad Listermann. Mr. Listermann added, "We believe FanBlaze will greatly enhance the WorldFlix bottom line with revenue in the millions."
FanBlaze intends to be the one stop shop for filmmakers, musicians and artists seeking funding, fan-base building and distribution. FanBlaze employs crowdfunding, which has recently become a proven method of raising money for projects. Crowdfunding allows people to raise the funds they need to fund their passions. It requires little to no funding if creatives raise enough money and set realistic funding goals. The method puts funding into hyperdrive, giving artists, filmmakers, and other creative professionals the ability to sidestep the painstaking mission of funding projects and building a following. The site serves as a social funding platform for all types of creative projects like films, music, art, design and photography.
It may sounds familiar, aside from one key difference: FanBlaze is built, first and foremost, as a social network that rewards engagement. Listermann knew that crowdfunding was the future, but wanted to do something more.
WorldFlix is passionate about arts and entertainers, and knew that, to build a loyal following, they would need a more open platform like FanBlaze. The FanBlaze creators also knew that fans want more than just rewards for making projects happen. They seek experiences and connections on a deeper level to fully be engaged in the artists successes. So WorldFlix created a social network with patent pending proprietary software built to reward fans exponentially based on the extent of their activity on the site, namely fundraising and networking for creatives and their projects. That provides fans with the ability to win contests, awards, badges and points that can be used to buy merchandise. WorldFlix didn't want to create another fund-and-run crowdfunding site. They wanted to create something completely dependable, and sustainable in FanBlaze.
With that goal in mind, Listermann decided that the parent company, WorldFlix, would offer distribution services for projects funded or nurtured on FanBlaze. FanBlaze encourages its members to empower one another. FanBlaze™ creatives can present movies, music and art to online audiences, build a crowd of fans, find supporters, and connect with other members. Furthermore, the fans can be easily engaged with our easy contest templates, template marketing programs and rewards programs that all help the creatives drive fans to support their work.
As Listermann points out, "Fans search for ways to promote their favorite art, music, and films. At FanBlaze.net, not only can they connect and push projects forward, but they serve as the driving force." FanBlaze members have the freedom to view, rate, critique, and discuss creative work from around the world. In turn, they can earn exponential awards for recruiting other fans on behalf of creatives and their projects.
WorldFlix®, parent of FanBlaze, is a new publicly traded company (OTC:WRFX). For more information about FanBlaze, visit FanBlaze.net. For additional information about Brad Listermann and WorldFlix distribution services, visit WorldFlix.net.

Frozen yogurt chain coming to Whitefish Bay
An Oklahoma-based frozen yogurt chain has announced plans to enter Wisconsin with its first store operating in Whitefish Bay.
Representatives from Cherry Berry came before the Plan Commission on Tuesday and were granted a conditional-use permit to operate a store at 106 W. Silver Spring Drive. The space is next to Dunkin' Donuts and ATI Physical Therapy.
Cherry Berry touts itself as a self-service yogurt bar that uses fresh ingredients. A wide variety of yogurt flavors and toppings are featured on the menu.
According to the company's website, additional locations across the state are planned in Appleton, Eau Claire, Green Bay, Janesville, La Crosse, Mequon and Oshkosh.
Proposed JCC operational changes advance in Whitefish Bay
Proposed changes at the Milwaukee Jewish Federation's Karl Jewish Community Campus have advanced, following a review and favorable recommendation by the Plan Commission on Tuesday.
Commissioners discussed JCC's plans for the site, 6255 N. Santa Monica Blvd., as a standard practice outlined in Village Code. The prevailing concern raised during Tuesday's discussion centered around parking at the site during larger events. JCC officials expressed a continued willingness to work with village staff and nearby neighbors.
Commissioners' recommendation will now be forwarded to the Village Board for final action.
JCC officials are requesting eight operational and structural changes at the campus. The list includes proposed fencing on the back field of the property, increasing the number of permissible annual special events on the campus from 12 to 20 and requesting up to 30 events, including wedding receptions, be allowed to function until 1 a.m., instead of the current 11 p.m. cut off time.
DPI releases school staff data
The battle over whether Wisconsin's public schools are doing the same, better or worse after reforms signed into law by Gov. Scott Walker took another turn Tuesday when the state Department of Public Instruction released a heap ofThe latest annual staff report shows a loss of 2,312 full-time positions in Wisconsin's 424 districts during the 2011-'12 school year, which represents a 2.3% loss in school staff statewide from the previous year.
For teachers specifically, the state's schools reduced educator positions by 1,446 in 2011-'12, a loss of 2.4% from the previous year. Student enrollment in the state remained stable over the past year, according to DPI officials. »Read Full Article(397)
Kottaras doubles the fun
In the throes of a four-game losing streak and having just given back the lead to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the top of the eighth inning, the Milwaukee Brewers were in desperate need of some of that Miller Park magic Tuesday night.
George Kottaras, as it turned out, was more than happy to oblige.
The backup catcher delivered a clutch pinch-hit, two-run double to right-center off Javy Guerra, lifting the Brewers to a 5-4 comeback victory over the winningest team in the major leagues in a game that featured plenty of late-inning drama. »Read Full Article(41)
Mukwonago Deputy Fire Chief retires

Kettle Moraine School District looks at 2012-13 budget
Kettle Moraine School District is looking at about $850,000 in reductions to balance the 2012-13 budget. The district accomplished this through realigning resources, insurance plan design changes along with bidding out insurance coverage, according to Chief Business Officer Susan Graham who presented the draft interim budget to the board tonight.
Graham pointed out that continuing the district's conservative budgeting while maintaining high expectations for the quality education Kettle Moraine is known for is creating tension and becoming harder in the current climate.
The budget will come back to the School Board on May 8 for approval before being presented at the annual meeting on June 19.

Walker makes his case before Illinois Chamber of Commerce
Springfield, Ill. - Gov. Scott Walker came to the capital city of Illinois on Tuesday to make the case that he should be retained as Wisconsin's chief executive.
He told the Illinois Chamber of Commerce that Wisconsin made the tough decisions to close its budget deficit, while Illinois continued to be burdened by an $8.5 billion deficit despite a 66% increase in the personal income tax rate.
"The simple reality is, Illinois and Wisconsin, like nearly every other state, had big deficits to deal with. In our case, it was a $3.6 billion deficit. . . . And we looked around, other states are going to make poor decisions, we want to avoid that in Wisconsin," Walker said. »Read Full Blog Post(1293)
Elections officials say fake candidates can remain on recall ballots
Madison - State elections officials on Tuesday said six fake Democrats could remain on the ballot in the upcoming recall elections, ensuring that all the races would hold primary elections May 8 and general elections June 5.
The Government Accountability Board voted 6-0 to leave in place the protest candidates who filed paperwork to run in the recall elections against Gov. Scott Walker and five other GOP officials. The effort was devised by Republicans to ensure that their state Senate candidates didn't face general elections May 8, the day that Democrats will hold a real primary in the governor's race.
The accountability board also approved a slate of candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and state Senate, including a liberal Walker critic who also is running as a spoiler candidate in the governor's race. »Read Full Article(356)
Newspaper, city argue public records law case at Supreme Court
