Planting seeds of hope
Published: 16 Oct 2010 16:300 comments
Students at Charters School in Sunningdale planted 4,500 crocus bulbs outside the school on October 8 in support of the Thanks For Life campaign which aims to raise awareness of polio around the world and to rid it from countries that still suffer from the disease.
The bulbs were donated by the Rotary Club of Ascot and members of the club including president Beverley Williams attended and presented a plaque to the year 10 BTEC vocational studies course who were planting the bulbs in a design that they had come up with.
Tony Love, Rotary Club chairman for the community and vocational group, said: "I was very impressed with the enthusiasm and commitment shown by students involved in the planting of the bulbs. They designed four different patterns for planting themselves and now we all look forward to next February's flowering."
Rotary clubs around the country have been will be running the Thanks For Life scheme. There are four countries that still report cases of the disease, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan and Nigeria and in February 2011 rotary clubs will undertake a number of fundraising activities to help pay for the final measures needed to eradicate the disease.

Otago schools appear to be getting better at recognising potential education-harming issues and getting help before they require intervention by the Ministry of Education.
Another secondary school has been opened in Mosgiel after the Ministry of Education granted provisional registration for the Amana Christian School to expand its education programme.
Concern is growing among Dunedin secondary school principals that the increasing amount of extracurricular activity going on in school time is encroaching on syllabus learning in the classroom.
Otago principals appear to hold mixed views about whether the Education Amendment Act 2012, which came into force on January 1, will be helpful or more of a hindrance.
Stressed, relieved, delighted, confused, petrified, even a little green - they were just some of the expressions on teens' faces yesterday as they went online to check their NCEA results.
Three Otago schools will be among the first 21 schools in New Zealand to be connected to the new Crown-owned Network for Learning (N4L) digital hub.
Teenagers often find it difficult to openly express appreciation for the help they receive from teachers.
The number of Otago secondary schools meeting the national average pass rates for NCEA level 3 qualifications appears to be improving, New Zealand Qualifications Authority statistics show.
A Dunedin secondary school teacher is crediting her pupils for an international award she won this week.
Secondary schools with under-performing groups of Maori and Pacific Island pupils will be given firm instructions by Education Minister Hekia Parata on what they need to do to improve.

With ASUS launching the first quad-core Android tablet this year and HTC's plan to focus on quad-core devices next year, we guess we can't say that we're too surprised to learn that both Acer and Lenovo are looking to get on board the quad-core bandwagon too. According to Digitimes both Acer and Lenovo are set to launch quad-core tablet PCs in the first quarter of 2012.
Apart from reportedly sporting NVIDIA's Tegra 3 processor, these quad-core tablets are said to run on Android's Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 platform as well! For those wondering what Acer might have up their sleeves, for starters it seems that the Iconia Tab A200 could be the quad-core tablet that Digitimes was referring to. Some are speculating that the A200 could feature a dual-core Tegra-2 processor, but others have said it would be quad-core instead.
Given Digitimes' report, it seems to corroborate with the latter argument. Either way if both companies are planning to launch said quad-core tablets in Q1 of 2012, there's a good chance they might be debuting them at CES 2012, so stay tuned!

Giants take a chance on enigmatic LB Aaron Curry
Originally published: May 10, 2013 - 6:22 pm
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants are giving linebacker Aaron Curry a second chance at making it in the NFL.
The Giants on Friday signed Curry to a one-year contract, hoping the fourth overall pick in the 2009 draft can reinvent himself after showing little while playing with Seattle and Oakland in what has been a disappointing career.
"We're always looking for players and we like giving guys second opportunities," general manager Jerry Reese said after the Giants finished the first session of a two-day minicamp for rookies and free agents. "He's worked hard to get back and he worked out well for us. If he didn't work out well for us we wouldn't be fooling around with this. But he worked out for us well. He was the fourth pick in the draft a few years ago, so obviously we think he has some talent. We had him rated high back then.
"We'll see what happens this spring with him."
New York wanted to draft a linebacker last month after it lost middle linebacker Chase Blackburn to free agency and released weakside linebacker Michael Boley. However, the Giants never found the value when they picked.
Curry wasn't immediately available for comment, but he tweeted: "Excited to be a Giant!!!"
Curry offers the Giants a low-risk option for a defense that was among the worst in the league last season. He can play either middle or strongside. The drawback is that he had knee problems last season and is about 10 pounds overweight at 265.
The other issue is Curry's NFL career overall. He hasn't done much since the Seahawks gave him a six-year, $60 million contract. He lasted little more than two seasons in Seattle before being traded to the Raiders on Oct. 12, 2011 for two draft picks.
The Wake Forest product played in 13 games for the Raiders before being waived on Nov. 16. He spent all but two games in 2012 on the physically unable to perform list. Overall, he has started 39 of 48 games with 203 combined tackles, 5 1/2 sacks and four forced fumbles.
"Of course, it's a low risk," Reese said. "It's an opportunity for him. If he comes on and he looks like the player that he was when he was the fourth pick in the draft, it's a win-win for everybody."
Reese said there isn't a lot to see recently since Curry hasn't played much.
"Sometimes a guy can go to a new environment and reinvent himself," he said. "We're hoping that's what happens with him."
Strongside linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka is the only returning starting from last year's 4-3 defense, but there have been suggestions that the Giants plan to play him more on the defensive line after losing Osi Umenyiora to free agency and releasing tackle Chris Canty.
Veteran Keith Rivers was re-signed and Dan Connor was added as a free agent, but the other holdovers - Mark Herzlich, Spencer Paysinger, Jacquian Williams - don't have much experience.
Curry was awarded the 2008 Butkus Award, presented to the nation's top linebacker. He played in 51 games with 49 starts for the Demon Deacons and finished third in school history with 45 1/2 tackles for losses and ninth with 332 total tackles.

With demise of Pentagon's 'Early Bird,' military readers hunt bootleg copies of 'Morning News'
The Defense Department has terminated its daily compilation of military-related news reports and opinion articles — called the Early Bird — in favor of a more restrictive press-clipping service for only the top brass.
The demise of the million-circulation "must read" for bureaucrats, politicians, industrialists and journalists has sparked complaints.
Hundreds of thousands of loyal readers have lost a concise morning view of what is happening in national security. They can't subscribe to its successor, Morning News, which is provided only to the 300 most powerful leaders inside the Pentagon.
"People come up and say, 'I'm not getting the Morning News. Can I?'" said Army Col. Steven Warren, director of Pentagon press operations. "And I make a determination. Essentially, the cut line is, 'Are you a senior leader?'"
Col. Warren, who made the decision, recites a list of reasons for why the Early Bird lost its edge in the Internet age.
Service members and civilian workers can find online everything that was in the Early Bird, whether sitting in the Pentagon or in a forward operating base in Afghanistan.
Four-star combatant commanders outside the Pentagon, such as U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla., and U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii, have staff to clip news stories, he said.
Some publications complained that the EB, as some call it, was depriving them of millions of online page views — the news business' gold standard — because it ran copies of stories and columns, not links to drive readers to the content provider.
"During the last month I have discovered that the Early Bird reaches every corner of the military industrial complex," Col. Warren said in a letter to fellow public affairs specialists explaining his decision. "It goes to industry, academia, and think tanks. It is republished on classified networks, forwarded to government agencies and it is even repackaged and sold by private media outlets. I am comfortable estimating that somewhere between 1.5 and 2 million people view the Early Bird every month."
Another factor: Col. Warren said the Early Bird was sapping energy out of a defense establishment busy with war and budgets. It was taking more and more man-hours and brainpower to digest and summarize the EB and then map strategies for how to react to every bit of news.
"I felt like the cost of the Early Bird had become too high, and by cost I meant not the cost in dollars, but rather the cost in organizational energy that was devoted," he said. "There was an odd dynamic in the Early Bird. The Early Bird had this ability to sometimes take a very localized, small news item and by putting it in the Early Bird caused it to become a national thing."
In his letter, he wrote: "I believe that over the last several years the Early Bird has lost its way. In my view, it has become too much of a driver of day to day activities in the Pentagon and often in the field as well. How many of us have spent sleepless nights dreading tomorrow's Early Bird?"
Some rank-and-file Pentagon readers, after reviewing bootlegged copies in a growing Morning News black market, said the publication favors big mainstream media outlets at the expense of newer and conservative media. They said the smaller commentary section taps into the editorial pages of big liberal newspapers.
"It was incredibly disappointing when the plug was pulled," said a Pentagon worker who asked not to be named for fear of reprisal. "Limiting the audience who have access to the new Early Bird hurts the intellectual maturation of the defense force.
"This is a problem if those news summaries purposely exclude articles on controversial issues or others with a view contrary to that expressed by the Obama administration. After all, military leaders are expected to be apolitical, but if they are fed only the administration's view, then this smacks of psychological manipulation."

The Lowndes Vikettes softball team will now be known as the Region 1-AAAAAA Region Championship Vikettes after taking down the Tift County Lady Devils on Tuesday in Tifton.
The Vikettes went up against a pitcher who was nearly flawless. Adriana Durden for the Devils pitched 14 innings but gave up only five hits and just one earned run.
The Vikettes were able to overcome her efforts, however, and swept the doubleheader with a pair of 1-0 victories.
"Offensively both games were like a pitching duel," said Vikettes Head Coach Stewart Thomas.
Tift Co. had only lost one game all season until this point and came into the doubleheader undefeated in the Region 1-AAAAAA softball race.
After the win by the Vikettes, they will finish the regular season in first place in the region.
"We played a good defensive game," said Thomas.
Lowndes had only lost once in the region to Coffee but ended their season with the region title.
In Game 1, Rebecca Prairie got two hits in three at bats and hit the game winning home run in the top of the 7th to give the Vikettes a win.
The Vikettes pitcher was Haley Fowler for the first contest. Fowler pitched seven innings, gave up no runs and had five strikeouts, helping the Vikettes seal a victory.
The two sides played another scoreless contest through seven innings of the second matchup in the doubleheader.
"We did what we had to do in the second game," added Thomas. " We did not make many errors in the game and did not walk many people. We executed well to get it done in the end."
Vikettes pitcher Crystal Eason was the starter in the second match and went six innings before being swapped out for first game starter Haley Fowler.
Eason struck out four players and gave up only two walks through her six innings as pitcher.
Fowler came in to close out the game, giving up zero runs and only one walk. Fowler did not give up any runs in her final inning of the doubleheader.
An eighth inning was forced due to the game being scoreless at the bottom of the seventh.
"Both Eason and Fowler did a great job pitching. We were able to catch them off balance and it helped us out a lot," said Thomas.
The Vikettes were finally able to score in the eight inning to win the Region title. LaGiah Woods was the player that crossed the plate for the Vikettes after the Tift Co. catcher made an error to the pitcher, which resulted in an overthrow, allowing Woods to score.
Jada McGillberry was the Vikette who made the run possible, bunting the ball at the plate in the eighth inning.
"I bet we had about 40 people out there and they were loud. If I was a betting man, I'd say we had more than Tift Co. did. That really helped us out," said Thomas. "I am proud of my girls and we are looking forward to the playoffs."
The Vikettes finished 24-3-1 on the regular season and are preparing for the coming playoffs.
The Vikettes will play home playoff games on Oct. 16 and 17 against the #4 seed of Region 3-AAAAAA, which has not yet been determined.

5 Things to Do in Philly This Week:
WEEKEND ROUNDUP: Steve Grand to Perform at HRC Philadelphia Region Gala Dinner and More
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is throwing its annual Philadelphia Region Gala Dinner this weekend, with a pretty impressive lineup of speakers and talent. Philly native and HRC Vice President of Policy and Political Affairs Tom O'Donnell will serve as the speaker for the evening, welcoming Philly State Rep. Brian Sims as special guest. It's the entertainment that's got my ears perked up, though.

WEEKEND ROUNDUP: The Official Gay Oscars-Viewing Extravaganza
The Oscars will be hitting gay TVs all over the world this Sunday, with homo-tastic performances like Idina Menzel singing current gay anthem "Let it Go," a Wizard of Oz tribute starring Liza (with a "Z"), a number by Upper Darby's own Pink, and, hello, Ellen. In short: These are not the kinds of moments you want to experience at home alone in your PJs. Come to what we're dubbing the Official Gay Philly Oscars-Viewing Extravaganza.
TONIGHT: The Cast of Mamma Mia! is Performing at Tabu
The cast of Mamma Mia! is killing two birds while in town performing at the Kimmel Center. Tonight, they'll make their way to Tabu to perform in the show's nationwide cabaret series that raises funds for The Trevor Project, the organization dedicated to crisis intervention and suicide prevention for LGBT teens.
"Cabaret for a Cause: Making Music. Making Memories. Making a Difference." is 90 minutes of entertainment featuring singers, dancers, impressionists and comedians from the show. In addition to the performance, the cast will auction off some gift baskets, gift certificates and a couple tickets to see Mamma Mia! before it leaves Philly on March 2. Thu., Feb. 27, 11 p.m., $10, Tabu Lounge and Sports Bar, 200 South 12th Street.
WEEKEND ROUNDUP: Sorry I'm Just Human, Attic Youth Center Drag and More
Every Friday we round up Philly's gayest weekend must-dos. Today we start with Sorry I'm Just Human by Sebastian.
Local artist Sebastian's latest dance piece, Sorry I'm Just Human, combines the art of movement with the struggles within our community, and when I say "our" community. I mean our community.
The piece was actually created from 200 anonymous surveys he sent people all over the city, surveys in which folks revealed their biggest fears, worries, and insecurities. "When I got the responses I felt [I was collecting people's prayers]," he says. "All these people were sending me all these things that you normally don't say to anyone, and you wonder if anyone else feels the same."

5 Things to Do in Philly This Weekend: A Dark Place Inside, Welcome to Campus, and more
Every Friday we round up five of the best ways to spend your weekend in Philly. Have an event you'd like listed? Send details to email@example.com.
Maniac Films Presents A Dark Place Inside Premiere: For a background check on Philadelphia-based director/writer/producer Mike O'Mahony, look no further than the titles of his previous work. If Sloppy the Psychotic doesn't sound like your idea of a Friday night flick, maybe skip tonight's premiere of his newest film, A Dark Place Inside. For those who do enjoy a good grindhouse gore-fest (and can hold down a beer even as the on-screen heads roll), stow away "good taste" for a night of no-brow thrills. Fri., Feb 21, 7 p.m., PhilaMOCA, 531 N. 12th St.
Drexel Welcome to Campus: Presented by Drexel and Swim Pony, Welcome to Campus: Not Your Average Campus Tour dramatizes the already fairly dramatic going-ons of your typical college student. The student-performed, interactive theater performance stages a campus tour where the realities of college/adolescent life, and not just the highlights of the meal plans and study-abroad programs, are at the forefront. Catch the show in its first weekend run and maybe re-think letting your daughter take that semester in Barcelona. Fri., Feb. 21, 7 p.m., URBN Annex Black Box Theater, 3401 Filbert St.
The Unflinching Eye: The Works of the Tiberino Family Circle: In honor of Black History Month, the African American Museum in Philadelphia is featuring a slew of special programming celebrating the black community of Philadelphia. This Saturday, join the Tiberinos, Philadelphia's first family of African American art as they offer insight into their own works. An intimate look into black history as it's situated in Philadelphia's narrative and a poignant display of art and the urban experience. Sat., Feb. 22, 1 p.m., African American Museum in Philadelphia, 701 Arch St.
4th Annual Party for the Market: The last time you were at Reading Terminal may have been at the request of an out-of-towner, but admit it, you were just as thrilled with that pork sandwich as your Aunt Sally. Show your support for a Philadelphia institution this Saturday for Reading Terminal Market's "Party for the Market," where a ticket gets you food, drinks, dancing and live entertainment. Proceeds go to the preservation of the historic market and will fund upcoming arts and nutritional programming. Sat., Feb., 22, 7:30 p.m., Reading Terminal Market, 5 N. 12th St.
Salsa on Ice: Things are heating up for Blue Cross RiverRink's final weeks. This Saturday, join DeeJay Jonathan for an eclectic set of latin grooves to fumble around on skates to. And after embarrassing yourself to meringue rhythms, you can warm up in the Waterfront Winterfest lodge with craft beer and warm beverages. Ole! Sat., Feb 22., 3 p.m., Blue Cross RiverRink at Pen's Landing, Columbus Boulevard and Market Street.
THIS WEEK IN GAY PHILLY: February QOTA, DVLF Wonder Women's Film Series and More
PHILADELPHIA BURLESQUE BATTLE ROYALE: We've reached round six of this 10-week competition to find Philly's fiercest burlesquer, and this week's theme is "Classical and Comedy." The final four contestants, the Amazing Brettzo, Miss Ty, Holly Ween and Mistor Fahrenheit will square (shimmy?) off, and there will be a performance by Philth. Tue., Feb. 18, 9 p.m., $8, Tabu Lounge and Sports Bar, 200 S. 12th St.

Call it one entertainment icon's tribute to another.
When Michael Jackson's classic release "Bad" debuted in 1987, Spike Lee's filmmaking career was just starting to take hold. The director pays tribute to the fifth-best-selling album of all time -- which yielded such singles as the title cut, "Man in the Mirror," "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Smooth Criminal" and "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" -- in the documentary "Bad 25," which ABC gives a Thanksgiving night television premiere Thursday, Nov. 22.
Lee interviews such other Jackson collaborators as fellow moviemakers Martin Scorsese and Joe Pytka in creating a remembrance of how "Bad" came to be, utilizing archival footage that also recalls the global concert tour Jackson launched in support of the album. Results included sales of approximately 45 million copies and five chart-topping singles, a record tied only relatively recently by Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream."

COLUMBUS _ Hon had ladders up, a sheet of plywood lying across sawhorses, a cordless drill in her holster. As the silver pickup rolled down the driveway, she was hoisting a sheet of galvanized steel onto the roof deck of the entranceway.
Buddy and I were out behind the barn this gray Saturday morning. We were sitting on big cold rocks, shooting the .22 at a pizza box some 50 feet away. The nine-year-old drew the stock against his shoulder, steadied his left elbow on his knee. He squinted at the target, trying to stop the wobble as his right index finger curled back slowly.
Suddenly the gun barked and the box top twitched in a puff of smoke.
"Good one," I guessed, but we got up to inspect the target, a black, spray-painted bullseye, more closely.
"Someone's here," he said as he looked toward the road. "I think it's Uncle Chet." We circled back to the house.
"Do you think he wants to shoot?"
"I doubt it," I said as I removed the clip and cleared the chamber. "We can shoot again later."
After we had skirted the barn, there was Uncle Chet in his brown Carhartt coat and old red-and-black checked hat, holding an edge of galvanized roofing as Hon fastened it with screws.
"Well, Grandpa always said, `Never get any more work than your woman can handle,"' he drawled. "And you've got that down pat."
"Grandpa was a smart man."
"We were shooting," Buddy said.
"I can see that," Uncle Chet said as we all went inside, which was like a sauna because the wood stove had been cooking.
I reheated coffee on the gas stove.
"I like your portico," Uncle Chet said as he sat down at the kitchen table.
"I want to get it done today," Hon said. " The plywood's been out in the rain for a week."
"With the crew you've got, you're in trouble," he said.
"I told her to call me if she needed me," I said from the stove.
"I didn't," she said. "I just can't stay long now because I've got everything in my head, everything set up."
"Then get back; I'll bring you a coffee," I said.
"Thanks," she said as she reached for her coat and went back outside.
"You've got it made," Uncle Chet remarked as I poured the coffee.
"Half a day a week I do," I said.
"Well, the day I want to talk about is Tuesday," he said. "We've got the best president in generations fighting for his political life. The Republicans are trying to rub him out, him and Nancy Pelosi, for trying to save the middle class."
"We've got to get off our tails and vote," I said.
"You betcha! We've got to vote to thank Obama for winding down the Iraqi War, Bush's gift to Haliburton and Blackwater. Thank him for averting a depression, turning the ship around in just 21 months, though the big money and all the GOPers were against him, hoping he'd fail, hoping we'd fail."
"How about driving down the price of a student loan, making education more affordable for millions by cutting out the loan sharks?"
"Music to my ears. You're talking to the father of a high school senior."
"And we haven't even gotten to taking on the health insurance industry, putting the brakes on runaway rate hikes, allowing children to stay on their parents' plans, creating health insurance exchanges, even if the new rules don't kick in at once."
"He's lucky to get what he got," I said.
"Of course! He's had to do it with billionaires like Rupert Murdoch in his face, the media in their pockets, and with a right-wing Supreme Court corrupting politics in the name of free speech."
"That Citizens United case could be his undoing," I said.
"Our undoing," Uncle Chet said, "because we won't get another Obama in our lifetimes, a man who's on the workers' side despite the death threats, the birthers' slander and the guilt-by-association lies spewed by the rabble, those tools of the ruling elite."

Bottle into snifter
Appearance- Jet black, tan head
Aroma- Earth woody and piney hops, light coffee and chocolate, molasses, slight fruityness, light alcohol present
Flavor- Bigger punch than the aroma, pine and woody hops, coffee, roast, fruity, molasses, slight chocolate, alcohol warmth although very drinkable for the abv.
Mouthfeel- medium, good carbonation
Overall- Really liked the hop notes throughout on this one. For the style the nose could be stronger and I would have liked more fruityness, but a great brew, glad I picked up 6.

Pours a jet black with a frothy chocolate head that slowly dissipates.
Coffee, tar, and nutty malt form the initial aroma, with chocolate and licorice adding complexity.
Flavor is sweeter than anticipated. Rich roast malt forms the backbone, with a hint of char adding bitterness at the finish. Dark cherries underlie a chocolatey, nutty profile.
Body is a touch light, with carbonation on the low side. Alcohol warmth does not overwhelm.
Great malt complexity. The dark fruit really sets off this beer. Wish there were more export stouts available. Love the contrast of roast and chocolate. Could use a touch more body.

Poured into a tulip glass.
The beer is coal black with a dark cream colored head that retains a thick layer of foam. Bubbly world map lacing coats the glass. The aroma is dominated by dark roasted malts, charred grains, and a faint black licorice note. The taste is exactly like the aroma except a faint smokiness comes in the finish as well. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and quite smooth for 8.5%.
Overall, a pretty beer and nothing to complain about.

Pours a thick, smooth, dark brown head. A nice acidic, roasted malt aroma. Black. Starts with a nice hop bitterness (a slight pineyness, too) and rich roasty flavor. Medium-high bitterness Moves into some acidity, then mellows into a nice finish of coffee beans.
This is quite nice. Very smooth. It's got a nice flavor profile; it blends toasted malt and hop bitterness quite well.

Miss. River stretch reopens after barge breakaways
Tuesday, 23 April 2013 10:09 Published in Local NewsST. LOUIS (AP) - A stretch of the Mississippi River near St. Louis is reopened to shipping after the Coast Guard concluded 11 barges that sank last weekend in the rain-swollen waterway weren't a hazard to navigation.
The 15-mile stretch was reopened Monday, while investigators continue trying to determine what caused 114 barges to break free Saturday night from where they were docked in St. Louis County.
Four of the barges hit the Jefferson Barracks Bridge spanning the river between Missouri and Illinois. Officials determined that the bridge was undamaged.
All of the barges that didn't sink were corralled.
Coast Guard Lt. Colin Fogarty says the breakaway could have been caused by various factors related to the elevated current of the rain-swollen river.
Fogarty says efforts to salvage the sunken barges will begin soon.
"The rain is not gonna help us at all and it could hurt us. Depends on how much rain we get." That's Foley Missouri alderman Ken Jaspering talking about efforts to keep the Mississippi River from flooding the tiny town of 161.Some 500 people including a half dozen inmates pitched in on Monday to help sandbag.
So what about today's (Tuesday's) rain? Jaspering tells KTRS' Michael Golde, "I've been here since 1940 (laughs) so I've seen some stuff. But it shouldn't get as bad as 2008."
Authorities say makeshift levees mostly held back the water in communities along the Mississippi River and other Midwestern waterways.
An inch of rain is expected to fall today on a wide swath of the country from Oklahoma to Michigan.
In Illinois--Governor Pat Quinn says emergency workers dealing with the growing flood threat near Peoria are also dealing with people checking out the swollen river:
'This is not a river to get on. The Illinois River or any of its tributaries. They're very swollen. Same way with the Mississippi River. We don't want people taking chances coming near the river. The current is much stronger than ever. We have boats. We've rescued a lot of people."
LEADWOOD, Mo. (AP) - A Leadwood, Missouri man is being credited with saving the life of a 12-year-old boy, jumping into a flooded river to pull the child to safety.
The Park Hills Daily Journal reports that the child, from Leadwood, Mo., is hospitalized in critical but stable condition after being rescued Sunday evening from the Big River.
Witnesses and police say the boy and two others were trying to cross a bridge that was flooding. The boy fell into the water near a culvert pipe and the force of the water sucked him into the pipe.
He emerged from the other end of the pipe and was floating down the swift-moving river when resident Robert Salsberry was able to grab the boy, pull him to a small island and perform CPR.

Vodafone India H1 revenue jumps 13.3%

Telecom major Vodafone India today said its revenue has grown 13.3 per cent to Rs 17,580 crore for the six months ended September 30, 2012.
Vodafone India revenues, which includes standalone, its subsidiaries and proportionate consolidation of Indus Towers (42 per cent), stood at Rs 15,510 crore in the same period last year.
The company did not disclose the profit numbers for the first half of 2012-13.
"We achieved a revenue growth of 13.3 per cent...We have been able to improve our operational profit margin to 28.4 per cent as a result of our increasing operating efficiency based on scale and lower customer acquisition cost," Vodafone India Managing Director and CEO Marten Pieters told reporters here.
He added that while revenue growth has been impacted by some of the regulatory measures, lower customer acquisition cost has been a positive for the finances of the industry, which is already battling high operational costs and lower returns.
British telecom giant Vodafone Group reported a dip of 0.4 per cent in global organic service revenue as earnings from southern Europe fell 9.8 per cent. Africa, Middle East and Asia Pacific (AMAP - including India) grew 5.2 per cent, while North Europe grew 1.5 per cent.
India service revenue rose by 13.5 per cent, driven by a 5.3 per cent increase in the customer base, strong growth in incoming and outgoing mobile voice minutes and two per cent growth in the effective outgoing rate per minute.
Vodafone India's capex was lower at Rs 1,700 crore in the April-September 2012 period compared to Rs 2,430 crore in the same period last year due to economic slowdown and uncertain regulatory outlook.
The company registered 39 per cent growth in operating free cash flow at Rs 3,380 crore as compared to Rs 2,430 crore in the same period last year.

text: Update: Tank is cycling well so far. Ammonia is going down, and nitrite is starting to spike. There is also some nitrate appearing in the tank. I am also cycling a smaller 5.5 gallon tank at the same time that I plan to use for a hospital/quarantine tank. Both are in the living room, the 10 gallon on the entertainment center, (Tank 1) and the other on the hutch (Tank 2) Tests today show ammonia at .50 ppm, nitrite at 4 ppm and nitrate at 5 to 10 ppm for both tanks. Fishless cycling with ammonia works and is much more humane than cycling with live fish. I can hardly wait until the cycle is complete in both tanks and can add my new fish!

Ethicists debate doctors who keep it personal
USA Today, February 3, 2009
There are doctors who still make house calls because it's in the best interest of the patient, not their bottom line, who say a prayer with a distraught family, who give their own blood to a sick child. But some medical ethicists warn against practicing medicine too empathetically or becoming too involved in patients' lives, saying it compromises treatment and the profession as a whole. Others argue personalized care will become extinct if physicians are not able to set aside the business of doctoring and resurrect the art of medicine.

It has take me a LLOOOooooong time to get around to writing about the details of making my wedding dress. This post is not quite as detailed as I'd like (ahem) and ends rather abruptly but I'm a sewist, not a writer and this post is past due so get a drink and settle in, this is a long one with lots of photos & links.
So... exactly how did I go about making my wedding dress?
Lots of research and planning followed by lots of work!
Major Design References and inspiration:
The elements that I wanted most were lace and sleeves. I was going for a traditional, vintage look so pouffy and strapless were out. Favorite designers were Claire Pettibone, Temperly London, Jim Helm, Carolina Herrera (Twilight, Bella's wedding dress), Kate Middleton (the lace bodice w/ sleeves), Dolce and Gabanna, and of course a million pins on pinterest. Rather than repost a bunch of inspiration pics, just go check out my pinterest board if you are so inclined.
Patterns I considered
Kwik Sew: K3401
Simplicity: 1909
Musin Making
Simplicity 1909, the clear winner of the muslin stage. |
The Result |
Fabric Shopping
Chic Fabrics – Silk Charmeuse lining, Cotton Batiste and Cotton Muslin.
My home away from home. |
Lace Star / Fabric & Fabrics - Silk crepe for the body, gorgeous alencon lace. This place has a fantastic selection.
This is the lace I chose. It was the single most expensive part of the dress. |
Mood Fabrics NYC – Silk Organza for underlining the bodice
Lennox Fine Fabrics - Silk Rayon Illusion Tulle (for the veil). 108" wide, 1.5 yards. I cut it down to 75" wide, which I think it may have been a little too wide.
Trim Shopping:
Top Trimming - one of my new favorites |
Daytona Trim for Lace (for the Veil), and ribbon for the bustle.
I am so very in love with this lace and I've got like 9 yards extra! |
Pany Silk Flowers in the Flower District where I found the silk flower for my fascinator.
Manhattan Wardrobe Supply for a padded satin hanger and wedding dress garment bag.
Construction Research
My favorite sewing reference books |
Susan Khalje's Couture Wedding Dress (not pictured) – I bought the CD, but I really didn't like reading this as a digital book. The focus is on the specific construction employed in the example dresses (one of which I got to see at the Mood lace seminar). It isn't exhaustive and doesn't explain many alternate methods. It's a good book, but I needed other references for my specific dress.
Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Sewing – My old college standard and in my opinion, any edition of this book should be on every sewist's bookshelf. I also have the Complete Guide to to Needlework and I freaking LOVE it.
Vogue Sewing – this one is pretty good, but I usually look here to see if it differs from the Singer Sewing Book.
Couture Sewing Techniques by Claire Scheaffer, obviously.
Sewing Specialty Fabrics - Singer Sewing Reference Library - I collect this series; it's great!
Claire Shaeffer's Fabric Sewing Guide - this is a great reference for all construction options for specific types of fabric. I relied on it a lot.
Singer Sewing Book by Mary Brooks Picken – This is my favorite vintage sewing reference book. It also has a nifty logo that I think would make a great sewing themed tattoo.
Sewing Tattoo perhaps? |
Craftsy: The Couture Dress (Susan Khalje) – excellent, I highly recommend it especially for the muslin making and the finishing touches.
Craftsy: Vintage Inspired Veils for the Modern Bride (Doreen Vandermeer). Pretty useful for the materials and techniques, but I had to go it alone for the lace application on my veil. I searched ALL FREAKING OVER for a flower that was nice enough to use on the fascinator but low end enough that it could be taken apart and reconstructed. Details on that in a future post (but no promises).
Mood Sewing Seminar: Lace (Susan Khalje) – I am SOOOO glad I was able to ask Susan some specific questions about choosing a lace and construction methods. She went over the specific types of lace and their applications. Susan also talked me into buying her book on CD and I got to chat with some of my favorite bloggers Daughterfish, Oonaballoona and Marina.

Construction Details
I cut out all my muslins, the silk crepe and the silk charmeuse on the large cutting tables at work. I used a bunch of cheap lightweight cotton muslin as a bottom layer to sandwich the silks between (muslin/silk/pattern) which helped prevent slipping and keep the fabric grain straight.
Serrated scissors, fabric weights and lots of space. |
Cutting the charmuese lining |
The seam treatment on the right wins |
I sewed and hemmed the skirt pieces before assembling them with the bodices.
I knew it was extremely unlikely that my skirt would be too long and I'd already made 2 muslins so I felt comfortable pre-hemming. This was also the way the pattern instructions were written so I think that a fitting is expected for this level of project. The lining hem is a ¼" double bend-back. The body hem is machine blind-stitched using lace hem tape to reduce bulk.Machine Blind Hem - not very couture, I know. |
Pressed Blind Hem - with lace hem tape |
Silk Organza Bodice Underlining - glass head pins and serrated scissors |
I cut the lace over bodice at home so that I could lay out the pattern pieces and ruminate on it for a while before committing to cutting.
The pattern layout diagram wasn't very descriptive. |
Aligning the scallop valley with the shoulder seam-line. |
I left myself plenty of margins for overlapping motifs |
I then thread traced the pattern pieces with blue thread.
Working at night makes for crummy instagrams |
Thread traced seam allowances and notches |
Front bust dart & planned cut line |
side seam allowances pressed open and catch stitched |
Armholes bound with bias silk organza |
Dart test swatch with lime green catch stitches |
With time running out I made a list of all the last steps and got real busy crossing them off!
Before attaching the bodice lining to the skirt lining I inserted 1/8" wide satin ribbon at the side seams/empire seams for hanger loops. I tested the length out on the padded hanger that I bought for the dress. I wanted the loops to both hang around the hook of the hanger.
The lace over bodice to the crepe under bodice at the empire seam.
The bodice lining is attached to the bodice at the neckline edge. I machine lock stitched and under stitched the seam allowances toward the lining.
I hate installing zippers as a general rule, but sewing it by hand with the best materials was such a pleasure.
hand picked zipper application |
Silk thread, hand picked zipper |
Here you can see the bodice seam allowances catch stitched to the organza underlining. |
Then I fell stitched the charmuese lining to the zipper tape on the inside, and a gold hook and eye at the top finished the top edge.
Charmuese lining is so lovely. |
My Zipper is so pretty! |
Gold hook and eye - my stitching is not so great though. |
For finishing touches; I tacked the under-bodice to the lace over bodice at the side seams near the top of the under-bodice; I made thread chain stitch carriers for the straps at the front empire seam and at the shoulder seam to ensure that the straps wouldn't peak out from the lace. This also helped prevent the lace from slipping off my shoulders.
One final fitting (thanks Sara!) to decide on the bustle points and I then took 18 hours to decide between buttons or hooks; at the last minute I went with ribbons instead because I decided I didn't want anything visible on the outside and I also saw a great tutorial on You Tube on how to use them.
The fascinator and veil were the very last things that I did (day before the wedding). I worked on the fascinator on the afternoon before the rehearsal and I made the entire veil, from start to finish between 10 and 12 pm after the rehearsal dinner. I may blog about them eventually, but I posted about those projects on my craftsy page so you can check it out there for now.
And that is the end of this post for now. I may edit to add more photos or additional details later.
Let me know if you have questions!
Thread loops at the shoulder seam to hold the straps |
Hook or button? How about neither?! |

Today is my daughter's sixth birthday. We watch soccer together—mostly English Premier League soccer—every weekend. I'm honestly not sure how much she pays attention, other than to root for Everton because of Tim Howard—also from New Jersey—and that guy with the big hair she likes a lot.
I told her about Sir Alex Ferguson's departure from Manchester United, explaining that sometimes when people get older and have an amazing run of success as a coach, they call it quits to enjoy life away from the game. To be fair, I think I snuck in a line like, "He's even a better coach than I am for your team," which really seemed to illustrate the point of how good Sir Alex was in her six-year old brain. Better than dad? Wow, he must be good.
I didn't have the heart to tell her the new Manchester United manager is David Moyes, who has managed Everton for twice her existence on this planet. She's six, after all, so I know she probably doesn't understand what a good manager does for a team. Unless Moyes plays goalkeeper or has eye-catchingly fluffy hair in the midfield, his departure from Goodison Park won't be as Earth-shattering to one of Everton's youngest fans as it may be to some of their more seasoned supporters.
Still, those moves make a lot of sense. Sir Alex's retirement has been a decade in the making and the appointment of Moyes is one of the more logical managerial moves in recent years.

Are You Ready to Join the Logo Evolution?
February 20th, 2014It may be time to evaluate your main identity, better known as your Logo!
It can seem like some labor to get a logo project going but it's worth it. Your logo is a representation of your business i.e. the face of your brand, what you do, who you are, why you do it. Is your logo up to the challenge of promoting you and your company to the world on this fantastic medium that is the Internet? Wikipedia says that a logo is "a graphic mark or emblem commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition." Logos are either purely graphic (symbols/icons), or are composed of the name of the organization. In ancient Greek logo was originally a word meaning "a ground", "a plea", "an opinion", "an expectation", "word," "speech," "account," "reason". Read the rest of this entry »
Every Website Visit Is A DROP In The Bucket, But It Adds Up To Internet Success!
February 19th, 2014When you log-in to your Google Analytics (GA) account to look at your web traffic, it may look very confusing initially. Google provides you with LOTS of data. There are several ways an internet user can find you, and Google has the analytics to track and show you how they got to your website. In GA, under Audience Overview, click on the arrow, and Google offers several built-in views that make it easy.
Every visitor to your website is another drop in your traffic bucket. If you want to remember the main sources of traffic in Google Analytics, think "A DROP".

Highrise CRM Alternatives. What CRM Should I Use When Highrise Gets Shut Down?
February 17th, 2014You might have heard the the news recently, 37 Signals Highrise CRM will no longer be the focus of its creator, 37 Signals. The company, 37 Signals, is refocusing their efforts solely on their flagship product, Basecamp. In a recent press release they stated that they're changing their company name and brand to be called "Basecamp" now. The future of the Highrise software is uncertain, it is possible that the company could sell to the highest bidder or continue maintaining it for their existing customer base, or… what I fear is that perhaps if the company is sold, the new owner could just shut it down after a period of time.
