"I used this card as a joint christmas card and birth announcement and it was perfect! I included birth announcement on the front of the card and than a christmas greeting on the back. The card is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for."
"So sweet! Announcements turned out beautifully. The colors in person are even better than on screen. Very sweet and simple. We used the "vintage" effect offered on our photo and it seemed to enhance the style of the whole announcement. Also shipping arrived faster than on conf receipt! Whole experience was five stars!"
"This is a beautiful card to announce our daughter's birth. All our friends and family loved them. Would have liked to have white as a text color for the details and to have the option of "she's arrived" on the back no matter what color is chosen on the back."
"The card is just lovely! I got the matte paper and had it cut with rounded edges. Talking to a customer service rep about the image was also incredibly helpful. Great company, excellent product, outstanding customer service. Order the card! (mine arrived DAYS before I expected it to)"
"This design was so easy to customize with our own photos and I loved the smaller sized boxes for pics pf tiny hands and feet. It turned out so cute, we ordered more so we could show off our new little guy to even more people. Note: We did have an issue with several envelopes not staying sealed and some arrived empty. I'd checked them before mailing and even applied glue stick to those that came loose before mailing. I used the live chat to notify TP and they reprinted replacements for those cards and expedited shipment of them at no additional charge. Ryan C. solved the problem very quickly and the result is a very satisfied and grateful customer. Just a word of caution about the glue seal."

So that one is put to bed......................I never said Congress had didn't have the power to provide for the general welfare, we just disagree what that phrase means. You think it means cradle to grave entitlements, I think it meant vital infrastructure in the formation of a young country to compete and defend against adversaries. Again, as proof, if you are right then we would've had welfare a looooooong time ago. We had public schools, so the concept of public institutions was not out of the mindset of the FF. We had a PO. It wasn't unionized, but there was a monopoly in terms of the service, but why no welfare? We had lots of poor.......many people starved and went bankrupt from 1785-1934 so why no welfare in all that time? The answer lies in the limits placed on Congress, that's how. And that's why FDR needed to stack/pack the court to get his programs through. Many of them were found to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL so he had to try a different tactic. OK?

steve forte; judging from your answer , you are more of a socialist than I am. The prototype you…Read More recommend , however, is more inefficient, costly, and redundant and a pure socialist model. The only way you could accomplish that is to take over and run hospitals or have the government build their own . Quite frankly we don't have the funds to do it. The doctors and nurse would have work for the government and the supplies, equipment , beds, etc., would all be govt owned and operated, like the VA system. want an example of a pure socialist model-it's the present VA system. VA system has a tough time now providing services to veterans , not to mention that veterans would become second class. I wouldn't worry about paying for Obama subsidies; I would be more concerned with a complete govt take over.Taxpayers would foot the bill for the entire system . Obamacare uses already existing hospitals,private insurance companies and medical personnel. One of the reasons Obamacare uses private exchanges, private hospitals and private doctors is so that govt does not get involved in an area it has no expertise. Anyway, my thoughts.

AppleInsider reports today that Apple has just been granted a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a touch-sensitive bezel that would extend over part of the device and hide or uncover that area with a simple one-touch command from the user. According to the patent, the touch-enabled bezel would be either partly, or completely, light-transitive, with the screen shown in the patent divided into two parts; the uncovered part being the active viewing area, and the covered part called the second portion. When the users fingers are detected by the bezels embedded sensor, the controller sends signals that will cause the second portion to light up, changing the state of the bezel. According to the patent, the bezel could show a variety of different status changes in this way, such as changing colour, or transmitting light, or something more complex, such as an opaque bezel turning transparent. AppleInsider speculates that the smart bezel could possibly be used in a wearable device such as the rumoured iWatch (see story below).

Labor Day Weekend Parking Enforcement Tips
There are two extreme ends of the spectrum when it comes to thinking about holiday parking. One popular rationalization around holiday parking goes something like this: "The Banks are closed, the post office is closed, DPT parking officers are government employees, so they don't have to work, right? So, parking restrictions are not in effect on labor day right?" Wrong.
Those coming from the other end of the spectrum look at it like this: "Well, some of the rules are in effect, and some of them aren't and there is simply no possible way of knowing this or keeping it straight, so it's a crap shoot, so, you should just put money in every meter just to be safe." While safety oriented, this view is expensive, and could still get you a ticket and/or towed.
The banks and post office will be closed, and most people do get Labor Day off. But, holidays are workdays for many DPT officers. And with those officers knowing the rules and most drivers not knowing the rules, it's like shooting fish in a barrel for them…another half a million dollars in tickets will be given out! So here is how to avoid getting a ticket on Labor Day.
Monday September 5)
SF Parking Enforcement Schedule:
What Is Not Enforced on Labor Day 2011:
–Commuter Tow-Away Zones (ex. No Parking 3 pm -7 pm Commuter Lane)
–Residential Permit Zones
–M-F Daytime Street Sweeping (ex. Street Sweeping Mondays 8 am-10 am)
What Is Enforced on Labor Day 2011
–7 Day Street Sweeping (ex. Street Sweeping 12 am Every Day)
–All Parking Meters
This seems pretty straight forward, but there are two places where it's easy to make an expensive mistake:
1) 7-day street sweeping always occurs at night and the sign will say "7
Days", or "Every Day". If you are out on Sunday night, remember that at 12:00 a.m., it becomes Monday. So take a minute to think about this when you park.
2) Commuter lanes such as the one along the Embarcadero, are not enforced
as usual on Monday. But remember, the meters are.

Comments about Pumpkin Pinata:
The strings are much shorter than pictured. Kids can't reach it. The strings on the bottom fell off because they were taped together and not to the pumpkin. No instruction as to where to put the candy and how to use the pinata. Called customer service and the girl had no idea. I receivd the pinata a week after my daughter's party. Do NOT believe their estimated time of delivery. Add about another 5 days to that. I returned it but am out the 6.99 I paid for shipping. I HATE buying online and will never do it again. The only reason I did was because it was the only way to get a HALLOWEEN pinata for my daughter's HALLOWEEN party.
Comments about Pumpkin Pinata:
I typically buy a pinata for all of my kids birthday parties. The pull string pinatas are definatley the best option for the younger kids but this one was a terrible dissapointment. Upon arrival it was quite obvious which string was the "magic" string that would open the pinata. It was shorter than the others, a different color than the others and located separate from the other strings (quite obvious to even my three year old). But most dissapointing was at the party when the first child went to pull a string and the entire bundle of strings came off at once. (They were all hot glued together) We ened up having to hit the pinata in traditional fashion but this was difficult and frustrating for the 3 year old group. Overall a bust...no pun intended.
Comments about Pumpkin Pinata:
String pinata's are very hard to find. I don't care for the beating of the regular pinata. I've been buying pinata's for 13 years with two children and it seems they are more expensive, but becoming cheaply made. This pinata had no opening to put candy in. Then when filled the string is pulling so not sure if we can hang it up or not. Just really disappointed with the quality of it. Plus, they didn't have any at the store so I had to order it, pay extra for shipping for something that probably cost $2 to make and I'm paying [$] for. Make your own, it will probably be cheaper and better quality.

Comments about Pumpkin Pinata:
The pull strings on this aren't as long as they are pictured, but still ok. The instructions don't include how to stuff it, or where the "door" is, and i'm scared of poking around or I might mess it up. This is my first experience with a pinata of this type and I wish the instructions also included if the string that opens it looks like all the others. There is a shorter red string but I have no idea if that is the door to stuff it or what? I don't want to ruin it!!! But otherwise, looks great and will be fun at the party!

Tube and pipe producers are familiar with ultrasonic testing (UT) which, as the name implies, uses high-frequency sound waves to find discontinuities in tube and pipe. While conventional UT is effective for testing raw materials with simple shapes—round tubing, rectangular billet, and rectangular plate—complex shapes such as castings and assemblies need something more. Phased-array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) gets the job done.
December 2, 2013
Manufacturing is changing—the old hands are retiring, and many left the industry suddenly in the wake of the 2009 downturn. The workforce is smaller and less experienced than before, yet the demands for quality and consistency have never been higher. Electronic sensing and measuring systems can help with inspection and error-proofing in this demanding situation.
November 19, 2013
The qualified-welder shortage presents significant problems for infrastructure and power industries. New welders need to be recruited, and displaced welders may need to be retrained for today's jobs.
September 5, 2013
In a modern-day manufacturing environment where the goal is to keep processes uncomplicated and repeatable, temperature-indicating products used in the welding process make a lot of sense.
July 16, 2013
Taking your shop to the next level might involve ASME certification. Just what does this entail? It begins with an agency.
September 10, 2012
NDT systems are limited in how close to the end of a tube or pipe they can test successfully. They rely on electromagnetic or ultrasonic waves to flow through the tube or pipe, and the end represents an abrupt change in the wall's characteristics, making the test results difficult to interpret near the pipe or tube end. A new system overcomes the conventional obstacles by aiming clockwise, counterclockwise, and transverse transducers at a single point of entry. A timed delay based on the 1-kHz transmit frequency prevents the signals from interfering with each other, enabling the receiver to interpret the results accurately.
October 26, 2011
Your customer wants two pieces of metal welded together. Why should you bother with a welding procedure specification? Because conformity leads to quality and enhances safety.
September 9, 2011
Hydrostatic testing of oil country tubular goods is done twice—once to test the weld seam, then again after the item is threaded and a coupling attached. Most hydrostatic testing systems test the entire length of the pipe both times, but a new unit, the box-end hydrostatic tester, tests just the threaded portion and the coupling, reducing the time and water needed for the second test.
January 11, 2011
Welders may recognize that when porosity is present, the cause isn't always the shielding gas, welding filler, or operator error. It can be caused by the steel production method, which can introduce porosity and other flaws.
October 11, 2010
Tube and pipe producers and fabricators who are familiar with the conventional encircling coils used in eddy current testing might be interested in learning more about this technology. Eddy current can be used on a variety of product shapes and does more than detect cracks. It can detect relative hardness and hardness changes (good for verifying heat treatment) and the presence or absence of physical features such as splines and threads.
September 13, 2010
When it comes to nondestructive methods for evaluating welds, familiarization with each technique will help you better identify the best means to detect weld defects.
July 8, 2010
Not many people who enter the welding profession think about their long-term career path. A certified welding inspector may be the next logical step for the right welder.
July 7, 2010
Welding inspection involves much more than simply checking the accuracy of welds after they are made. Inspectors must be knowledgeable about codes, standards, materials, and other fabricating processes.
June 7, 2010
Bellingham Technical College launched its Welding Rodeo in 2002 to spur enrollment and raise its public profile. Now one of the premier welding competitions in the Pacific Northwest, the event has helped the school triple its enrollment in welding and expand its program/skill offerings.
November 2, 2009
Relieving residual stress through welding technique as well as temperature control can greatly reduce weld distortion.

Few Details are available, but initial reports indicated the incident happened around 1am on West Nashville Street in Pembroke when a woman ran off the road and her vehicle flipped.
She was pronounced dead on the scene and we will have more information as it becomes available.
The Christian County Sheriff's Office is investigating the incident. Christian County Deputy Coroner Mike Stokes said he was still waiting on family notification to release the name as of about 7:30, but did say the victim was a Todd County resident.

Guys does position of baffle make any difference?
when you get the heater installed, have a
drip leg installed on the inlet of the gas valve on the
new heater...
this tee with a nipple and cap on the end should
catch all the crap that ever goes through that line..
it dont cost anything to do and its code in many
areas of the country....and a good practice.
Yep will do Mark...noticed my gas line for furnace has one but not dryer....stainless steel connection.......flexible...fwiw the copper line is very thin and it does have the drip leg wonder if it being smaller diameter than the iron pipe changes gas pressure? If it is a gas pressure issue is anything plumber can do to fix it?
Ok spoke to plumber tonight..tomorrow is the big swap out lol He will come by in morning to size job up and then got to FW Webb to get heater...Kenmore will go into my garage until I can convince Sears to come pick it up...good luck huh?
Well I intend to really fight them to take it back, 2 bad heaters as far as I'm concerned.....2 very shoddy installation attempts and the second plumber could have killed us due to his unique venting with foil tape...I could run into an issue because I gave up on them but was not gonna have Sears try for a third time and waste more of my time...never again...an independent plumber from here on out for sure
Hope I am making the right move!
Copper gas lines are smaller then natural gas lines because they have smoother surfaces and there for less friction loss across a given length at the same flow rates.
I don't know how it works down there but up here in Canada you need to be a ticketed gas fitter. And a gas ticket is separate from a plumbing ticket.
He is a licensed gas fitter as well.....he just came and looked things over...will put in black pipe..asked if I wanted stainless flexible an I opted for the black pipe...hope that is right choice....
He is off to FW Webb to get the Bradford White with the ICON System

Lindsay Lohan took a minute to pose for paps and fans outside her Soho apartment last week. On her arm is a eye-catching, bright orange Hermes Soft Kelly. Lindsay's new reality show on Oprah's OWN network just premiered this past Sunday, and it's put Lindsay back in the public eye again after a lengthy (Oprah-enforced) absence. While her lifestyle habits have hopefully changed for the better, some things always stay the same: her taste in handbags remains as high-end as ever.
For the second installment of PurseBlog Eats, we ventured down to the Lower East Side of Manhattan to pay a visit to The Fat Radish. Upon arrival, the restaurant provides an immediate sense of warmth and coziness – it's the kind of soft-lit candle glow that feels completely effortless and genuine. The walls are decorated with hooks for customers' coats and perfectly aligned filtered photographs.
Over on TalkShoes we went through our Instagram to see all of your Manolo themed shoestagrams. We rounded up our top favorites, and let's just say we were swooning! Alessandra Ambrosio was spotted wearing a covetable pair of Valentino pumps and we looked at the shoes from Nicolas Ghesquière's first collection for Louis Vuitton. We even styled a pair of René Caovilla sandals that is desperately making us wish for warmer weather. We want to hear your thoughts!
In the luxury industry, there's nowhere to go but up. As the fortune's of the planet's uber-wealthy continue to balloon, so too does their collective taste for the most outrageously expensive luxury goods; it's keeping up with the Joneses on the grandest of scales. That means that more brands than ever are wading into the waters of the five-figure handbag, yielding ever-larger seasonal bumper crops of bags that cost as much as a mid-size sedan.
After seeing the full Gucci Spring 2014 Handbags collection, I instantly fell in love. However, like the our original review mentions, I also worried a bit about practicality. New York weather is not always in a fashion girl's favor; one gust of wind and I'd be hitting an innocent bystander with the fringe of my Gucci Bamboo Fringe Shopper, not to mention that the fringe is probably a bit long for my rather petite stature.
Some designers have such a specific design aesthetic and consistently use such specific details in recognizable ways that you can spot a new bag from the brand a mile away – think Bottega Veneta's iconic woven patterns, or Mulberry's classic postman's lock. The same can be said of contemporary designer Alexander Wang when looking at this Wallie Washed-Leather Backpack; Wang never ceases to amaze me, and I was instantly intrigued by this backpack.

It's March! Happy March! Welcome to the Roundup, weekend-ready readers! It's once again time for our customary look at this week's happenings on the PurseForum, fashion's liveliest destination. This week, we visited our newly-rolled out a Longchamp Subforum, took a turn around Beauty and Makeup, Prada, and a popped into a few other areas of interest. Let's get started!
Kirsten Dunst was recently spotted getting a nosh to-go in Studio City, CA while carrying a pebbled leather "Oxblood" Coach Mini Borough Bag. She does not look ecstatic to be caught schlepping around in her gym clothes, but at least she can rest easy knowing that her handbag choice is solid. You can get Kirsten's exact Mini Borough for $378 at Coach.
Most people think that when we go to Fashion Week, we're mainly looking at the clothes going down the runway. In reality, Fashion Week has become just as much about what people outside of the shows wear and carry as what's going on inside, and I love seeing all the bags on display. While there were Chanel and Celine bags galore, a different bag and brand stood out to me: the Jason Wu Daphne Bag.
This week on TalkShoes, we looked at the Chanel Fall 2014 collection – if you thought the bags were crazy, you gotta see the shoes. Also spotted at the Chanel fashion show was Rihanna, rocking a pair of Chanel sneakers from the Haute Couture collection. Also discussed on the blog was the popular espadrille trend and how we styled Tod's slip-on sneakers two ways – nothing better then a little versatility!

My employer recently got rid of a lot of really nice office furniture. I scored a bookcase, and finally, an office chair that doesn't hurt my back when I stamp and blog. Thanks employer!!
But what it really means is that my Nancy Drew books that my parents saved for me have a home - out of the garage and onto a shelf where they belong.
Aaah. Look at them.
I have a collection of just one less than half of all of them. I wish I had the rest in the same editions.
I remember when I was reading them going to this store that specialized in pretty expensive dolls (the Madame Alexander dolls - I had Alice in Wonderland, Snow White and a few others), some hobby stuff and these crazy expensive books. I remember that it was a big deal to get one. I think they were like $3. Maybe $3.50. Definitely a luxury.
Anyone who has ever read The Secret of Red Gate Farm gets it about right now and is smiling from ear to ear.
What about the Ghost of Blackwood Hall?
Man. That was some good stuff.
Have a good Wednesday. Super innovative card tonight with something cool I invented, I promise. :)

*SIGH*....I am soooooo jealous. I have no idea what ever happened to mine, though many of them were returned to the book exchanged and swapped for more reading material. I so wanted to be Nancy, or one of the Secret Seven...did you read them? Ah, the good old days huh? Enjoy having them in their rightful place :)

This is bringing back some nice memories! I read quite a few Nancy Drew mysteries in high school when I started to learn English (I'm French). I loved them, and they were a great way to build some vocabulary.
I remember in the 90's when they tried to make a TV version based on the book. Nancy Drew had straight black hair cut in a bob and green eyes. So wrong... - October 29, 2008 at 12:24 PM

RaceQuip SA2010 full face helmets feature an all-new design that incorporates prepreg construction based on steel tooling. In this process, the optimum ratio of resin is impregnated into the composite fabric (a combination of carbon fiber, KEVLAR®, and FRP) prior to molding. Next, the prepreg is forced into the steel mold using vacuum pressure and then oven-cured to precise thermal specifications. This manufacturing technique eliminates excess resin weight and ensures uniform shell thickness, while leaving the outer surface smooth and blemish-free. The RaceQuip SA2010 full face helmet shell is then mated to an expanded polystyrene (EPS) liner to create a modern, lightweight helmet design.
Features include:
* Snell SA2010 rated
* Lightweight composite shell
* Aluminum pivot kit with an adjustable friction lock
* Silicone shield gasket to keep out dust and dirt
* Wide eyeport provides great peripheral vision and allows for the use of personal eyewear
* 3mm, 8-position, distortion-free, low-fog polycarbonate face shield with hand-ratcheting tear-off posts
* Suitable for use in the highest forms of auto racing competition
* KEVLAR® chin strap for strength
* Nomex interior for great feel and comfort
* Predrilled holes for easier installation of head and neck restraint anchors

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) —
Tea Party hero Rand Paul warned scientific advancements could lead to eugenics during a Monday visit at Liberty University, looking to boost the political fortunes of fellow Republican Ken Cuccinelli's bid for governor.
During a visit to the Christian school founded by Jerry Falwell, Paul looked to energize conservative supporters by warning that genetic tests could identify those who are predisposed to be short, overweight or less intelligent so that they could be eliminated. With one week remaining before Election Day, Cuccinelli is hoping the joint appearance with the U.S. senator from Kentucky will encourage the far-right flank of his party to abandon third-party libertarian spoiler Robert Sarvis.
"In your lifetime, much of your potential - or lack thereof - can be known simply by swabbing the inside of your cheek," Paul said to a packed sporting arena on Liberty's campus. "Are we prepared to select out the imperfect among us?"
Some states ran eugenics programs that sterilized those considered defective in the 1900s, though all were abandoned by the 1970s after scientists discredited the idea.
Campaigning later in the day on Virginia Tech's campus, Democrat Terry McAuliffe renewed criticism of Cuccinelli as a candidate who doesn't believe in science and sought to remind voters that Cuccinelli unsuccessfully sued a University of Virginia researcher under the state's anti-fraud law.
"He doesn't believe in climate science," McAuliffe said. So Cuccinelli, a skeptic of climate change, went on what McAuliffe called a "witch hunt" against Michael Mann, McAuliffe said.
The University of Virginia, a public school, spent $600,000 to defend itself. The state Supreme Court dismissed Cuccinelli's complaint.
"We cannot grow Virginia's economy by suing scientists," McAuliffe added.
Meanwhile, former President Bill Clinton said genetics is helping doctors identify individuals at greater risk for illness and advising them to get tested earlier. Clinton, a McAuliffe pal who is campaigning with him, said the science is saving lives, not costing them.
"We are now learning things that will help us deal with Alzheimer's and various kinds of cancers. We've already identified the genetic markers that are high predictors of breast cancers," said Clinton, who as president announced the first map of the human genome.
Cuccinelli, who trails McAuliffe in polls and money, was fighting to reset the race that has slipped from his grasp.
Campaign finance reports filed Monday showed Cuccinelli had about $604,000 in his account as of last week. McAuliffe had $1.6 million banked.
A four-day visit from Clinton - along with the millions of dollars he has helped raise - was set to boost Democrats in the state. With turnout expected to be 40 percent of registered voters or less, the results were likely to be decided by how effective each candidate could be at turning out strong partisans.
Cuccinelli has turned to conservative base issues such as abortion rights, coal and guns to make sure his allies show up for Nov. 5's election. He has also turned to tea party leaders, such as Paul, to convince Republicans to cast their ballot for him and not for Sarvis.
Sarvis, a former GOP candidate, has the backing of 11 percent of Republicans, according to a Quinnipiac University poll last week. While those voters alone aren't enough to put Cuccinelli in the lead, they signal a discomfort among some Republicans about Cuccinelli's deep conservative beliefs.
Cuccinelli, the current attorney general, said he would not shy from social issues.
"I've been attacked rather vigorously for being a proud pro-life candidate for governor," Cuccinelli told students at Liberty University. "You don't get any other rights to defend if you're not born."
Brian Coy, a spokesman for the Democratic Part of Virginia, said Cuccinelli is only trying to appeal to "his tea party base" during the campaign's final week.
"Ken Cuccinelli has given up on the mainstream," Coy said.

Chesterfield manager Paul Cook will name an unchanged side for the visit of promotion rivals Southend.
Cook said last week ahead of the trip to Torquay that he would stick with the players that started the 3-0 home win over Northampton.
With the game in Devon postponed due to a waterlogged pitch, the Blues boss has reiterated that stance.
"Nothing has changed, it will be an unchanged team - the same team that beat Northampton,'' said Cook.
"As I said before, I think they have earned the right to go again. So it will be the Northampton team but with a stronger bench.''
Among the substitutes could be teenage right-back Richard Brindley and Ivorian striker Armand Gnanduillet.
Former Norwich trainee Brindley arrived from Chelmsford last week on a deal until the end of the season while out-of-contract Gnanduillet this week signed for the same length of time.
With Drew Talbot absent due to a broken toe, skipper Sam Hird moved over to right-back against Northampton and transfer-listed defender Neal Trotman was highly impressive in his first appearance since the 2-1 home defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge in mid-October.
Southend boss Paul Sturrock will leave his team selection as late as possible with three key players hoping to be back in contention for the trip.
Winger Kevan Hurst suffered a recurrence of a back problem in the 2-1 FA Cup defeat at Brentford last Tuesday and expects to be okay to face his hometown club having returned to full training.
Centre-back Ryan Cresswell sustained a shoulder injury in the same game and is hopeful of being passed fit but had still not trained on Thursday.
Midfielder Marc Laird has missed out of late with a pulled hamstring but he is also keen to be involved against the Spireites, with the clash coming after last weekend's home encounter against Plymouth was postponed.
Sturrock will also run the rule over striker Britt Assombalonga as he continues his recovery from troublesome ankle and shin problems.

This dress is based on a collette pattern (Macaron) that you can get on www.collettepatterns.com. I love their patterns and I couldn't wait to make one for myself using my fabulous geometric Ikat cotton that I bought in India.

This is the best version of a Collette pattern I've ever seen! Inspired fabric combo. Did you have to alter it the pattern much? Also do you have a blog somewhere?
May 26, 2012, 12.40 PMby sibeli
Thanks :-) I love this fabric too! It's a while ago that I made this, but I think the sizing was quite 'generous'. I used size 36 and I remember I had to take it in a lot around the waist. I may also have taken a bit of volume out of the skirt.
I don't blog :-)

I love your version- this pattern has been sitting in my to do pile for months. Now I'm all inspired
Sep 5, 2010, 07.43 PMby marinaglory
I loove your version of the Macaron pattern- I really want to try it! Did you omit the pleats in the skirt to get a more slim-fitting skirt?
Sep 19, 2010, 05.08 PMby sibeli
Thanks :-) I think I kept the pleats, but I took it in on the sides a little so that it would have less of an A-line shape.

A Dance with Monkeys
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
How would you log a run that crosses midnight? Would you log it for the day it starts? Or the day it finishes?
Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.
When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?
You'll ruin your knees!
""...the truth that someday, you will go for your last run. But not today—today you got to run." - Matt Crownover (after Western States)

Votto finishes 6th in MVP voting...
Congrats to Joey Votto, 6th in the NL MVP vote. Votto received votes on 28 of the 32 ballots. Four people were unsure of what they were voting for.
Twenty-six players received votes. It is astonishing that Brandon Phillips was not one of the twenty-six. If there are two voters from each ML team/city, that means neither Cincinnati voter had Brandon in their top ten. SMDH PS Ryan Braun won the award. Yawn.
Zero chance the Reds miss the playoffs! Last edited by texasdave; 11-22-2011 at 03:55 PM. |

Small Audioengine Rocks
What more can be said about Audioengine's flagship self-powered loudspeakers, the A5 ($399/pair) and A2 ($199/pair), than has already been said? We currently use the bigger babies for sound on an antiquated TV in my husband's man cave, aka "the cottage," and they're astounding for the price. The speakers were showing off thanks to several prototype Audioengine products that are still in the development stage.

What If Your Body Is Not the Problem, and Losing Weight (Again) Is Not The Answer?
Seem Impossible?
You could simply to click 'back' now and look for that magic diet program that will make you happy.
But, if you're like me, and all the women who finally want to find peace with their body because you're finally ready to end the self-critical body-hating madness, then you're in the right place.
Because I know you have spent thousands of dollars on the diets, the pills, the potions, the lotions, the gym memberships and exercise equipment that's now just gathering dust under your bed or in the garage.
You know that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insane, just like Einstein said.
You've done the dieting and the rebound bingeing and regained waaaaay more weight than you ever had to lose in the first place.
You've sweated, plucked, pummelled, rubbed, waxed, shaved, colored, trimmed, extended, covered, squeeeeeeezed …. so many parts of your body, and yep…. nothing changed.
You're still feeling like you're not good enough, thin enough, pretty enough, young enough, straight enough, curvy enough….
And finally …. you're looking for something that does actually work!!
You're OVER It!!
You don't know who to trust.
You're a smart woman, you hold down a job, manage a relationship, probably wrangle your kids, might be studying, and have community responsibilities as well.
Why can't you just get your weight stuff done and under control?
Why can't you stop obsessing about all kinds of food?
Why can't you look at yourself in the mirror and be happy with what you see?
The Answer – Well, My Answer
Our culture teaches women from the time we're very young that our bodies must look a certain way, or we're just not good enough.
That's despite all our other achievements and skills and talents – and if you believe the constant media barrage of ever-thinner and very beautiful women, it's even more important than our very being!
We're encouraged every day to put all our energy into making our bodies perfect before we do anything else.
Only, perfect never quite happens….
And the next day we do it all again.
Exhausting isn't it?
I didn't figure out that I could stop doing it all until I was in my mid 30s.
Ahem – it took major surgery and then a car accident before I'd give myself the space to figure it out, no one's ever called me quick
But then it took me another eight years to actually do it.
Yes, it took a while to undo all the stuff I'd learned and believed my whole life!
It took a while to find the right information and the tools that actually worked – I also figured out that I couldn't only think my way out of the messy cycle I'd been living in.
And the Body Bliss 101 Program is a neat little package that starts teaching you exactly what I learned, the exact tools and strategies and information and action, the first steps that changed my life, and have changed the lives of over a thousand women around the world as well.
How Can I Get Started?
So all up about one hour out of your week in little bites so you can fit it into your life (I really do get how busy you already are), to start deprogramming some of the ideas, thoughts, and beliefs that have kept you from being happy with your body.
Are you worth an hour of your time?
I get that when you're feeling soooo down on your body, feeling so critical and upset, even embarrassed, you might not think you're worth spending a cent on.
Will this short program completely 'cure' you, give you the perfect body, help you lose or gain weight?
Thing is I'm not promising you a magic spell here.
Here's What I AM Promising….
This program will get you started feeling, thinking and seeing yourself differently.
Seeing and feeling like there is some light at the end of the tunnel… some hope for you… real possibility that you can and will finally feel happy in your own skin.
That you can live the life you've been putting on hold until your body's 'perfect'.
Be the Change….
I know that one woman at a time can learn day by day to love being in her body.
That woman could well be you.
You can nurture and respect your body – and it will respond and become the body of your dreams because it already is, and it will thrive and blossom with your loving care.
And you will be a little ripple in the pond that is your family and your community.
Your way of treating and honouring and trusting and respecting your body can be a new example for other women, and help them break free of the relentless be-thinner messages of the diet industry.
And with your help, eventually we'll reach a tipping point where it will seem like suddenly everyone just knows it's okay to love and respect and nurture our bodies.
Finally we will have healed this epidemic of self hate that's been plagueing us for the last 100 years.
It is possible.
It starts with you.
So that's why the program exists, that's why it's just $19.97 – less than $2/day.
If you want to heal yourself, or innoculate yourself against the life-limiting woman-hating nonsense that the diet industry pushes at us all dozens of times every day – click this button now and you'll be getting started in just a few minutes!
Women Only
I should say that the series is aimed at women, because of all the people I've worked with who have had negative body image issues, only one has been a man.
So if you're a man reading this, please forgive me, I openly confess I don't have the same understanding of your issues as I have of women's issues. But the tools and exercises will probably help you too, so if that sounds useful please go ahead and sign up and I'll do my best to help you.
In my clinical practice I work with girls and women who show the world a happy and carefree face, but who are actually plagued by overwhelming, destructive, life-limiting thoughts, feelings, behaviours and beliefs about their bodies.
It's so painful for them, and I know how they feel – because that used to be me.
I know the information in this course can help you move into a happier relationship with your body, and a happier way of really living your life. I'll see you on email :))
PS: I know you're worth your own care and attention, and I'm here to help you give yourself permission to give yourself that care and attention. So come on in…

Fabregas: Barcelona have to step up
Cesc Fabregas believes Barcelona will be put to the test by the absence of Lionel Messi in the Champions League clash with Celtic.
The 26-year-old Argentina forward injured his thigh in the 2-0 win over Almeria on Saturday, ruling him out of the Group H clash in Glasgow.
At Barca's pre-match press conference at Celtic Park, most of the focus was on how the visitors will cope without their talismanic superstar, and Fabregas acknowledged the rest of the forward players will have to step up their efforts if the loss of Messi is not to prove significant.
The former Arsenal midfielder said: "It is a test because we always want him in our team.
"Obviously Lionel is the best player in the world, I don't even have to say that and you obviously will miss a player of his talent and dedication.
"We rely on him a lot. He is the best player, the one that scores more goals, the one that does the offensives tasks. He is always there for us, he gives assists, he is the best.
"He can win a game at any moment so we are sad for that but you cannot feel sorry for yourselves because you are missing a great player.
"Without Messi we will have to take more responsibility.
"I think we all have to step up and make sure that we don't feel his absence, and show we can play great football without him.
"When he is not there we have to adapt the situation and players like Neymar, myself if I play, Alexis Sanchez, Cristian Tello, Pedro Rodriguez; we have to step up and do the job that a striker is made for which is scoring goals and giving assists.
"I think tomorrow [Tuesday] is a test in that way."
Fabregas believes 21-year-old Brazilian star Neymar could be the one Barcelona player capable of one day reaching the levels of Messi.
"He is a very talented player, very quick and has the skills to get away from you easily," the Spain international said.
"He is already a star but this boy will have a lot to say in the future of football.
"It is up to him. Everything is in his hands.
"He came here to learn, to compete, to fight, to grow up as a player and a person.
"He is still a boy and in the future we will be talking about him as one of the greatest."
Fabregas was in the Barcelona side which lost 2-1 to Celtic in the group stages of the competition last November but insists they will not "obsess" about the unlikely defeat.
The Catalan giants dominated the game and were streets ahead in every statistic aside from goals as midfielder Victor Wanyama and Tony Watt, neither at the club this season, scored to give the home side a memorable win, with Messi's late goal mere consolation.
Fabregas said: "We will not obsess about what happened last year.
"We played a good game and what we need to do tomorrow is keep possession, not give the ball away too easily, minimise our mistakes and maximise our chances.
"Set-pieces and counter-attacks will be the main threats from Celtic.
"If you follow European football you know that coming to Celtic Park is always going to be tough, wherever they are in the table or whichever manager they have.
"I played here with Arsenal and you have to expect a difficult game.
"The fans are always behind the team and that is pressure but I think we can deal with it.
"We have played in big games in our careers' and tomorrow will be one of them."
Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino insists the absence of Messi will not be used as an excuse should his side lose.
Martino said: "Messi is the best player in the world but we have a great team and his absence cannot be an excuse if we don't get a good result tomorrow night."

The journal describes some of the ski tours I do, with random summer additions.
The gallery has several photo reports of avalanche cycles, field day observations from the last two years, summer flowers and fall colors.
My profile can be found here, written for the Backcountry store by Kersten, who I thought did a great job of describing what I do in winter. That is no longer entirely accurate since I got kicked out of the avalanche club.
Enquires about purchasing photos are welcome.

According to a study released by the Center for Public Integrity and Global Integrity the State Integrity Investigation project, North Carolina gets a C- on its corruption risk report card. The Tar Heel state earned three F's in public access to information, state budget processes and redistricting. The project examined 330 Corruption Risk Indicators and were organized into 14 main categories and 61 subcategories. According to the project's website:
To identify the project's Corruption Risk Indicators, staff from Global Integrity and the Center for Public Integrity contacted nearly 100 state-level organizations working in the areas of good government and public sector reform around the country. We asked them a simple question: what issue areas mattered most in their state when it came to the risk of significant corruption occurring in the public sector? The outcome was a list of questions, rooted in the reality of state government in the US, that these stakeholders identified as mattering most when it came to assessing the core risks of corruption in their states. In addition, Global Integrity and the Center for Public Integrity then included additional indicators that the two organizations had previously fielded in similar projects and hypothesized were relevant to this project's aims. (Specifically, these indicators were drawn from the Center's States of Disclosure project and Global Integrity's Global Integrity Report and Local Integrity Initiative efforts.)
The report card for North Carolina can be viewed here. The page features articles from various N.C. news organizations about corruption in the state along with the ability for readers to email the report card to state officials.
