I received a very special request from a very special client. She asked me for an original Eighteen century redingote (or Riding coat- english word) She wanted all the original cuts and asymmetrical armholes…
As you can see the pattenr has no darts or cuts at the front of the bodice. The back was made as a puzzel shaping the corduroy lines as zigzag.
Everything was made in its original 18th century concept. The capellines trimmed in satin, the pleated skirt, buttoned high collar and even the hippads. Satin covered buttons at the front and at the cuffs. Lovely item definitve, the fit is just amazing!
4 mts corduroy, thick cotton denim as a lining!
light weight cotton as a lining of the skirt and sleeves

Did you draft the pattern yourself or use measurements from a book and altered them for fit? It's amazing work. I really hope you charged accordingly!
Feb 7, 2013, 11.04 AMby milkyway
Thank you, I made everything, unfortunatelly i didnt know how much work before charging : ( but at least I have now the pattern

It is true that things like this are very hard to quote for, I'm never very good at estimating how much time is actually going to be spent. Then of course you're probably like most of us here and time is irrelevant in the pursuit of perfection! My hubby makes me guess and then times it by two lol more often than not he's right! At least you have the pattern now like you say and you have a better idea for future clients (which you will no doubt have for such outstanding work!).

At the capitol, a new bill would allow meat processing facilities to open in Oklahoma to pack and ship horse meat overseas. And it would be for human consumption.
It's meant to cut the number of abused and neglected horses across the state, but horse lovers are protesting the controversial proposal.
"He was going to put her down, and I said, I'll take her," said Debbie Alseth, Owner of Ridgecrest Equestrian Center.
Alseth knows all too well what's it's like to have to put down a horse you've grown to love.
"Usually in the eyes you can tell," said Alseth. "And they just kind of give up, yeah. They tell ya."
"There's a practical problem, There's a huge problem that everybody can agree with," said State Rep., Skye McNiel. "And what's happening, is those horses are being turned out into other peoples pastures, tied up to gates, the sheriff gets called."
In some cases, those horses end up at a boarding facilities like Ridgecrest. Rep. McNiel says since processing plants closed in 2006, there's been a 60-percent increase in abused, neglected, and starved horses.
"They have value to whomever their owner is, and they should have value when their done with that usefulness as a live animal," McNiel said.
McNiel says there's been a market for horse meat overseas for several years. In fact, she says at one point, the U.S. exported more than $42-million worth of horse meat annually.
"God didn't create the horse for human consumption, there has to be other ways to take care of horses that are no longer wanted, or no longer useful," Alseth said.
"There needs to be an end market for these horses," McNiel said.
The sale of horse meat for human consumption would still be prohibited in Oklahoma, if the law is passed. The bill is very close to reaching the floor for a vote.

Offered at: | (X) |
Offerings: | Trimester 1 |
EFTSL value: | 0.125 |
Unit chair: | T Thornton |
Note: Online teaching methods require internet access. Please refer to the most current computer specifications. |
This unit focuses on the synthesis, interpretation and analysis of information in regards to environmental policy at all levels of government and other public or private organisations. The need for global co-operation and action in responding to environmental issues is becoming more important. Air quality, land management, resource use and water quality are some of the myriad of issues that can only be resolved with greater understanding of local issues to enable targeted responses at the global level. Due to lack of agreement in policy aims and specific objectives, it has been argued that the current approaches to environmental management have not been as effective in achieving desired environmental outcomes. Practitioners need to understand the process of policy development in order to fully realise the potential outcomes as well as to be able to input into the process to achieve sustainable outcomes. Policy objectives need to be fully cognisant of the environmental, political, economic and social influences that must be addressed if change is to occur.

It's happened again.
Now that I'm finally finished my Anime North 2013 comic I'm taking a hiatus for a few weeks so I can concentrate on studying and beginning production on my upcoming thesis project, which officially starts in September. I plan to make a game/interactive experience and in order to get that done I need to start now and the comic is unfortunatly getting in the way of that.
I'm sorry it has to be this way and I don't have a clear continuation date at this time for the comic, but I'll try my best not to make this hiatus last too long and try to return to making new comics as soon as possible.
In the meantime, if you like Spark Comics, tell your friends, like our Facebook Page, or even check out Spark Comics on MangaMagazine.net.
Until next time, see you next comic! :)

The Dreams in the Witch House
"The Dreams in the Witch House" | |
Author | H. P. Lovecraft |
Country | United States |
Language | English |
Genre(s) | Horror short story |
Published in | Weird Tales |
Publication type | Periodical |
Media type | Print (Magazine) |
Publication date | July, 1933 |
"The Dreams in the Witch House" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft, part of the Cthulhu Mythos genre of horror fiction. Written in January/February 1932, it was first published in the July 1933 issue of Weird Tales.
"The Dreams in the Witch House" was likely inspired by the lecture The Size of the Universe given by Willem de Sitter which Lovecraft attended three months prior to writing the story. de Sitter is even named in the story; he is mentioned as a mathematical genius, and remarked among other intellectual masterminds, including Albert Einstein. Several prominent motifs—including the geometry and curvature of space, and a deeper understanding of the nature of the universe through pure mathematics—are covered in de Sitter's lecture. The idea of using higher dimensions of non-Euclidean space as short cuts through normal space can be traced to A. S. Eddington's The Nature of the Physical World which Lovecraft alludes to having read (SL III p 87).[1] These new ideas supported and developed a very similar conception of a fragmented mirror space that Lovecraft had previously developed in "The Trap" (written mid 1931).
An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia says that "The Dreams in the Witch House" was "heavily influenced by Nathaniel Hawthorne's unfinished novel Septimius Felton".[2]
Plot summary[edit]
Walter Gilman, a student of mathematics and folklore at Miskatonic University, takes a room in the Witch House, a house in Arkham thought to be accursed. The first part of the story is an account of the history of the house, which has once harboured Keziah Mason, an accused witch who disappeared mysteriously from a Salem jail in 1692. Gilman discovers that for the better part of two centuries many if not most of its occupants have died prematurely.
The dimensions of Gilman's room in the house are unusual, and seem to conform to a kind of unearthly geometry that Gilman theorizes can enable travel from one plane or dimension to another. In his dreams Gilman is taken to a city of Lovecraft's "Elder Things", and even brings back tangible evidence that he's actually been there. Several times his dreaming self encounters a bizarre "congeries of iridescent, prolately spheroidal bubbles", as well as a trapezoidal figure, both of which seem sapient. It is hinted that these may be the extra-dimensional forms of Keziah and her familiar.
Of much more direct concern, however, are Gilman's nightly dream sojourns with the old hag Keziah Mason and her rat-bodied, human-faced familiar Brown Jenkin, sojourns which he increasingly believes are actually happening in the real world. One night, Gilman dreams Keziah, Brown Jenkin, and the infamous "Black Man" force him to be an accomplice in the kidnapping of an infant. He awakes to find mud on his feet and news of the kidnapping in the newspaper.
On May Eve (Walpurgis Night), Gilman dreams that he thwarts Keziah from sacrificing the baby, only to have it killed by Brown Jenkin. Coming back to wakefulness in this plane, Gilman hears an unearthly cosmic sound that leaves him deaf. The next morning, Gilman is found dead in his room in the Witch House, a hole burrowed through his chest and his heart eaten out.
The landlord then abandons the house completely, and when it is finally demolished years later,the workmen sent to raze the building find Keziah's skeleton and books of black magic, some little more than rotted yellow dust. In addition, a space between the walls is found filled with children's bones, a sacrificial knife, and a bowl made of some metal that scientists are unable to identify. A strange stone statuette of a star-headed "Elder Thing" is also found, and these items go on display in the Miskatonic University museum, where they continue to mystify scholars.The skeleton of a huge deformed rat with hints of human or primate anatomy is also found, and continues to baffle scholars.
Walter Gilman[edit]
Walter Gilman, formerly of Haverhill, Massachusetts, came to Miskatonic to study "non-Euclidean calculus and quantum physics", which he linked to the "fantastic legends of elder magic". He is troubled by mental tension brought on by studying too hard, and at one point is forbidden by his professors to further consult Miskatonic's collection of rare books, including the Necronomicon, the Book of Eibon and Unaussprechlichen Kulten.[3]
Keziah Mason[edit]
Keziah Mason was an old woman of Arkham who was arrested as part of the Salem witch trials of 1692. In her testimony to Judge John Hathorne, she had spoken of "lines and curves that could be made to point out directions leading through the walls of space to other spaces beyond.... She had spoken also of the Black Man, of her oath, and of her new secret name of Nahab." She later disappeared mysteriously from Salem Gaol, leaving behind "curves and angles smeared on the grey stone walls with some red, sticky fluid" that were inexplicable even to Cotton Mather. Gilman comes to suspect that Mason--"a mediocre old woman of the Seventeenth Century"—had developed "an insight into mathematical depths perhaps beyond the utmost modern delvings of Planck, Heisenberg, Einstein, and de Sitter."
Mason is described as having a "bent back, long nose, and shrivelled chin". She wears an expression "of hideous malevolence and exultation", and has a "croaking voice". She dresses in "shapeless brown garments".
Critics have noted with some surprise that Mason is "struck with panic" at the sight of a crucifix.[4]
Brown Jenkin[edit]
Brown Jenkin, Mason's familiar, is "a small white-fanged furry thing", "no larger than a good-sized rat", which for years haunts the witch house and Arkham in general, "nuzzl[ing] people curiously in the black hours before dawn". The creature is described:
Witnesses said it had long hair and the shape of a rat, but that its sharp-toothed, bearded face was evilly human while its paws were like tiny human hands. It took messages betwixt old Keziah and the devil, and was nursed on the witch's blood, which it sucked like a vampire. Its voice was a kind of loathsome titter, and it could speak all languages.
The Black Man[edit]
In his dreams, Gilman is introduced by Mason to
a figure he had never seen before--a tall, lean man of dead black colouration but without the slightest sign of negroid features: wholly devoid of either hair or beard, and wearing as his only garment a shapeless robe of some heavy black fabric. His feet were indistinguishable because of the table and bench, but he must have been shod, since there was a clicking whenever he changed position. The man did not speak, and bore no trace of expression on his small, regular features. He merely pointed to a book of prodigious size which lay open on the table....
This character is later identified as "the immemorial figure of the deputy or messenger of hidden and terrible powers--the 'Black Man' of the witch-cult, and the 'Nyarlathotep' of the Necronomicon."Also to be noted, a later reference to markings on the floor Gilman finds among his own footprints suggest the Black Man has cloven hooves instead of feet. This implies that Lovecraft intended him as an avatar of the popular depiction of a Christian Satan. Mike Dalager (see "Rock Opera") notes that this (and Mason being frightened by the crucifix) show that the story could be the only cosmic horror tale by Lovecraft that actually incorporates a Christian-Judeo structure.
Father Iwanicki[edit]
There was a Father Iwanicki in an early draft of Lovecraft's "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" (1931), but the character was excised from the final version.[5]
August Derleth's negative reaction to the unpublished story was conveyed by Lovecraft to another correspondent: "Derleth didn't say it was unsalable; in fact, he rather thought it would sell. He said it was a poor story, which is an entirely different and much more lamentably important thing."[6] Lovecraft responded to Derleth: "[Y]our reaction to my poor "Dreams in the Witch House" is, in kind, about what I expected—although I hardly thought the miserable mess was quite as bad as you found it.... The whole incident shows me that my fictional days are probably over."[7]
Thus discouraged, Lovecraft refused to submit the story for publication anywhere; without Lovecraft's knowledge, Derleth later submitted it to Weird Tales, which indeed accepted it.[8]
Many later critics have shared Derleth's view. Lin Carter calls the story "a minor effort" that "remains singularly one-dimensional, curiously unsatisfying."[9] Peter Cannon claims that "most critics agree" that "The Dreams in the Witch House" ranks with "The Thing on the Doorstep" as "the poorest of Lovecraft's later tales."[10] S. T. Joshi referred to the tale as "one of [Lovecraft's] poorest later efforts."[11]
In stark contrast, Lovecraft critic and Prix Goncourt award winning novelist Michel Houellebecq situates the story within what he calls Lovecraft's "definitive fourth circle," classing it alongside seven other tales that comprise "the absolute heart of HPL's myth [...] what most rabid Lovecraftians continue to call, almost in spite of themselves, the 'great texts.'" [12]
Recently, more favorable criticism of "Dreams" has appeared. Weird Tales's current Lovecraft columnist, Kenneth Hite, calls the story "one of the purest and most important examples of sheer Lovecraftian cosmicism," suggesting that it is the most fully fleshed-out expression of the author's "From Beyond" motif, also explored in such stories as "The Music of Erich Zann," "Hypnos," and "The Hound." [13]
An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia complains that "[w]hile the tale contains vividly cosmic vistas of hyperspace, HPL does not appear to have thought out the details of the plot satisfactorily.... It seems as if HPL were aiming merely for a succession of startling images without bothering to fuse them into a logical sequence."[8]
Film, TV or theatrical adaptations[edit]
"The Dreams in the Witch House" was made into a short segment for Showtime cable television's Masters of Horror series, directed by Stuart Gordon, under the title H. P. Lovecraft's Dreams in the Witch-House. It alters the plot and minor details of the original and puts it in a contemporary setting, with Keziah Mason becoming what the film's promotional materials refer to as "a luscious she-demon"[14] and neighbor Frank Elwood changing genders to become Frances Elwood.
"The Dreams in the Witch House" was brought to the stage in 2008 by WildClaw Theatre Company in Chicago, in conjunction with Weird Tales Magazine's 85th anniversary, under the title "H. P. Lovecraft's The Dreams in the Witch House". It was adapted and directed by WildClaw Artistic Director Charley Sherman.
A much looser adaptation inspired by the tale was the 1968 Curse of the Crimson Altar (aka. The Crimson Cult, Witch House, The Crimson Altar). It starred Barbara Steele, Christopher Lee, Boris Karloff, and Michael Gough.
The story and characters were adapted by the author Graham Masterton, in his novel Prey.
Rock Opera[edit]
In 2013, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society made a rock opera concept album called Dreams in the Witch House - A Lovecraftian Rock Opera based on the work. The project is a Swedish/American collaboration between producers and songwriters Chris Laney, Anders Ringman, Lennart Östlund and lyricists Sean Branney, Mike Dalager and Andrew Leman. The album features Bruce Kulick and Doug Blair on lead guitar. From those who have reviewed it, the album has received positive reviews but has not received mainstream attention.

New Sealed iPhone 5 on Ebay... Where do they come from?
I tried to buy an iPhone 5 in the store and online from Apple (by calling in) and both places they tell me I can't get it without having it activated on an existing contract, or a new contract. (I prefer Verizon, but am flexible)
Where are the new SEALED iPhone 5's coming from, that people are putting up on Ebay? Are they from the USA? I can't even get the iPhone 5 to come up on Apple.com for a full retail price, without the carrier. Anyway, if anyone knows where the new sealed iPhone 5's are coming from, I'm extremely curious. Thanks! |

Also, some people who have fulfilled the terms of their old contract, are now on month-to-month, have an available "upgrade" on their line, and need the extra money more than they do a new phone will buy a new iPhone 5 at the subsidized/new contract price (and so re-up for 2 more years with their carrier) and then turn around and sell the new phone and keep using their old phone. I have a couple of friends myself who have done this in the past.
I personally think it's kind of silly to tie yourself to your carrier for 2 more years without getting the benefit of a new phone out of it, but I think the people who choose to do this view it more like, hey, we don't anticipate changing carriers anytime soon, and depending on how much we can resell the phone for, we are in essence turning our phone upgrade into a cash kickback from the carrier for signing a new 2 year contract. Perhaps that's worth it to some people, especially if they are still happy with their old phone. -- Nathan |

Mr. Chairman, I am honored to be with you and the committee today. My name is Dr. Christopher C. Harmon, professor of international relations; I was asked to join the panel as the author of a new book, Terrorism Today. . .
Americans are well aware that terrorism is a varied phenomenon. We've been embarrassed to see some of it rooted in our country. Some of it is born and raised overseas, and stays there. Some terrorism is transnational. The latter is our special problem just now; we are facing up to the damage inflicted on September 11, while still analyzing the many other transnational terrorist threats.
We seem to be facing, among other forms of terrorism, a militant Moslem international. It is not precisely like the Bolshevik international of the 1920s and 1930s, because its motivations differ and because it is less centralized. But it may be akin to the less formal Communist international of the 1960s or the 1970s or the 1980s, a coalition of front groups, terrorists, radical states, and powerful central governments in the Soviet Union and China.
The new militant Moslem international is wide in its appeal and global in its operations and aspirations. It seems feverish in its faith. It is profoundly angry at its enemies, which are many; the enemies list may not begin with Americans, and it certainly includes many moderate Arab regimes. The international seems versed in ideology not mere momentary heat or inspiration. It is so combative that some within it defy all sense of self-preservation. It is often well-educated, well-trained, well-financed, and well-armed. Most disturbingly, it is on the move. It appears to have very high morale, if very twisted morals. It seems to sense that its time has come, that its opportunities have never been better.
I should say a word or two more about several of these main characteristics.
Religion, which should be a source of enlightenment and sooth our spirits, can also be the source of blood lust. Federal prison now holds the spark who detonated the first bomb at the World Trade Center towers, in February 1993. Sheik Abd al-Rahman arrived here via Egypt and the Sudan and put together a coalition of multinational persons of adherence to him and the faith he says he speaks for. They then did all they possibly could to take down the buildings. Militarized religion was a moving force in that attack: Ramzi Yousef declared his group to be "an international movement concerned with affairs of the world's Islamic armed movement."
Equally evident in that 1993 attack was hatred of U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East. Here is a second constant of the new militant international, equally visible in the Charter of Hamas, or the training manual of the Bin Laden organization, "Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants." The movement damns Americans for supporting the Israelis. Yousef said that his group aimed to make the U.S. administration "stop its aid for Israel." Another of the 1993 New York City bombers, Nidal Ayyad, sent a letter to the press explaining the attack: "The American people are responsible for the actions of their government..." and so they "will be the targets of our operations... ."
The ruthless willingness to kill large numbers of civilians is another characteristic. The 1993 bomb plot in New York was the kin, in this way, with operations of the Algerian GIA (Armed Islamic Group), or Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement), or others. The Osama Bin Laden group's February 1998 fatwa specifically threatened all Americans, civilian and military. The 1993 bombers did not even bother to pretend there was military utility to their target. The papers of plotter El-Sayid Nosair, found after the first New York attack, state coldly that they wished "to demoralize the enemies of Allah . . . by destroying and blowing up the pillars of their civilization and blowing up the tourist attractions they are so proud of and the high buildings they are so proud of."
In the microcosm of the initial New York attack we thus see religious motive; a sharp political determination; and decisions about targeting that disregard all decency and any deference to nonbelligerents.
On the operational level, appearances suggest that the new international uses mobility, varied communications, and safe-havens to direct terror attacks. We have no evidence that Bin Laden set foot in East Africa before his teams blew up two embassies, murdering many Africans and some Americans, too. He probably did not return to Yemen, the homeland of his father, when he was directing the attack on the sailors of the U.S.S. Cole. He need not come to America to see the murder of thousands in the Trade Towers. He used cell phones, or couriers with computer diskettes, or airplanes, or encrypted data on the Internet, and perhaps other means. Men from dozens of different countries have been doing Bin Laden's work.
Operations in Europe, especially our NATO ally Germany, seem to be particularly important. Northwestern Europe is wealthy, indulgent of foreign cultures, and rife with trade schools, institutes and good universities. There are media outlets to appeal to, and cultural societies and academic circles of similar potential. Support groups are easily formed in these free societies. Many in Europe are foreigners: guest workers, new residents, or students, and they may wish to help, or can be pressed to do so. Europe's immigration laws never please all critics, but they are far more liberal than those of many other countries in the world. The continent also offers excellent varieties of communications. A well-chosen base in western Germany, for example, is a geographical bridge reaching into four other countries, all with airports, good highways, rental cars, etc.
For tactical actions, covert cells have sufficed. This cell structure was precisely and publicly explained to the world by the paratroop commander in the classic film quite an accurate film The Battle of Algiers. Individuals know very few compatriots, and only one boss. Section bosses know only some of those in the lower ranks their own subordinates; section bosses also know relatively few persons in the structure above them even as few as one. Thus when a blunder is made, or a whole cell is arrested, the damage is easily contained. Even if one chooses to defect, or breaks under torture, the member may have little to disclose about others in the organization.
The organizations are diversely funded. New York Times journalist Judith Miller wrote a book about this movement, as well as many superb investigative articles on how it funds itself. U.S. court proceedings show that radical Moslems with international connections have supported themselves here, or earned funds for the movement, by selling cars, smuggling cigarettes between states to take advantage of tax laws, and even setting up think tanks or institutes which cover for the raising and export of funds. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars have been raised here and sent to the Middle East. Other patrons live abroad, contributing from personal fortunes. Bin Laden's money was inherited from his Saudi father's construction business, but the son has not only spent. During his years in the Sudan, for example, he was directing construction projects and engaging in agricultural business.
All of the above still goes on. This movement certainly is far wider than the Bin Laden organization and certainly was not created by the Bin Laden organization. Indeed, the wider movement of which we see glimmers includes established governments, probably including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, and in the immediate past, Sudan. Secular Iraq may be involved. The movement appears to include independent operators, such as the self-declared Mujahideen who traveled to Bosnia to join the fight. The movement involves people who strongly disagree about some things, and may even dislike or hate Bin Laden. The movement has apparently been able to include Sunni as well as Shia, Iran as well as Libya, and the Palestinians of Hamas as well as the Lebanese of Hizbollah.
It thus apparent that we must act against the Bin Laden network without expecting that success there will end the broader international militant Moslem movement. The movement existed before him and will outlive him and will for some time be a challenge to all nations which decline to submit to it.

This socket holder holds 13 scokets. It's a great way to keep your sockets together and a great idea. The holder has room in it for three (3) more socket holding studs. By removing one screw more studs could be added. However, the studs, or replacement studs should you break one, are not available. One E-mail to Sears and two ten minute phone calls confirm this. None of the sales people at the Sears store had any idea if they were available. Other styles of socket holders have replacement studs available.

Round Rock, TX
via sears.com
I love a drawer with organized tools in them. This product worked very well. I love that there is a magnetic strip on the underside of this socket rack and that the sockets stay in place when you open a drawer because of that. I also like that the nubs can rotate and lock in a socket and that the nub positions can slide and are thus adjustable. You could also place these on the side of a tool box or a metal wall rack above a bench because of the magnet. My only gripe (although minor) is that this 1/4 inch socket rack was not the same length as the 3/8 and the 1/2 -- for consistency sake. It would have been nice to have a longer strip with more nubs, too. But, I ended up manipulating things with ease. I bought two of these 1/4" strips and removed all of the nubs by simply removing a screw in the end cap. I had more 1/4" sockets than anything else so I moved some 1/4" nubs to the longer strips (3/8" unit) and replaced those 3/8" nubs on the shorter strip. It is very flexible to meet you individual needs that way.

I favor trays for storing sockets in my tool box. Only problem is that trays tend to timp over if the tool box gets jostled. I worked on aircraft for years and often had to push my rollaway to an aircraft to complete repairs or replacements. I could always count on my larger trays tipping over if the "drive" was too far or out onto the flightline. Then I would have to take a moment to put the sockets back in their trays before starting to work. This tray conveniently solves that problem. You can lock the sockets in place, they won't tip out and will release only when you unlock them. "Sacramento" Bruce Conklin

These are very nice holders, heavy duty and stable. Adjustable for odd-size sockets, and locking mechanism secures sockets in place. Concur with other reviewers - PLEASE SELL REPLACEMENT PEGS SEPARATELY!! Would like to mix and match but am not going to buy complete holders to get more pegs - would spend $$ on replacement pegs, suggest sets of 3 or 4.

For years I used the clip style socket holders, which were not very durable, but not expensive either and were very portable and easily customized with fewer/more clips. I tried this product as a replacement for those holders. Pros: Positive retention. One hand use. Mounts easily. Look nice. Cons: NEED TO SELL EXTRA PEGS!!!! Weight and magnets limit portability. Price. If extra pegs were offered, it would greatly offset the other negatives.

Great product, makes things look real good and organized. Quite pricey for a large socket set. I would buy a lot more if they went on sale. I would be nice if you could add more pegs since there is space for 3 or 4 more.

I bought one each of the 1/4" and 3/8" socket holders, just to try them out. At $20 each, they are a bit on the expensive side, especially if you have a large socket collection. These work rather well, and it's better than having a chest organizer that requires you to just remove the sockets you will need from the organizer, instead of being able to just pick up an entire socket set, and go. The magnetic strip is really strong, and will even hold up long sockets, with a thick (1/8") non-slip pad, upright in your chest, without falling over when you shut it. I plan on buying at least 2 more of each size, but will wait until they go on sale. A little too expensive for me.

A truly wild horse is a species or subspecies with no ancestors that were ever domesticated. Therefore, most "wild" horses today are actually feral horses, animals that escaped or were turned loose from domestic herds and the descendants of those animals.
Only two never-domesticated subspecies, the Tarpan and the Przewalski's Horse, survived into recorded history. The only true wild horse alive today is the Przewalski's Horse (Equus ferus przewalskii), .named after the Russian explorer Nikolai Przhevalsky. It is a rare Asian animal, also known as the Mongolian Wild Horse; Mongolian people know it as the taki, and the Kyrgyz people call it a kirtag.
The species was presumed extinct in the wild between 1969 and 1992, while a small breeding population survived in zoos around the world. In 1992, it was reestablished in the wild due to the conservation efforts of numerous zoos. Today, a small wild breeding population exists in Mongolia. There are additional animals still maintained at zoos throughout the world.

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"
Rated PG-13
Harrison Ford is a trooper. In his performance in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," he makes jokes about his age, is willing to share the screen with teen sensation Shia LeBeouf and he even leaps from one death-defying scene to the next without blinking an eye. The problem is that even though Ford is up to the task, the scriptwriter, David Koepp, can't even come close to the excitement generated from the original outing of Indiana Jones written by Lawrence Kasden more than 25 years ago.
Cate Blanchett is splendid as the villainess and it's great to see Karen Allen back on screen as Jones' love interest. "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is filled with virtually endless chase scenes. And if you're into special effects, this film is loaded.
Sequels rarely measure up to the original and this one is no exception. On the other hand, if it's a rainy night and you want to lounge on the couch, you won't be disappointed passing the time with Harrison.
"Get Smart"
Rated PG-13
Bumping up successful television shows to the big screen is becoming a tradition in Hollywood. Logic dictates that there already will be an audience of curious adults in the seats and, if promoted properly, the younger generation (X, Y, or whatever) will become enamored and buy tickets. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't,
It works with "Get Smart." Don Adams starred as the original bumbling agent Maxwell Smart on television and Steve Carell slips comfortably into the film role with a similar deadpan delivery. Barbara Feldon's replacement Ann Hathaway is more feisty than cute as Agent 99 and Maxwell can't help but be smitten by her. The supporting cast is very impressive as well. As Agent 23, Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson handles his comedic role with a straight face. "The Chief" Alan Arkin barks out commands and Terrance Stamp as Siegfried may or may not have been bested by Smart and his agency, CONTROL, at film's end. Can you spell "sequel?"
"Get Smart" is smartly directed by Peter Segal. If you remember the TV series, you may find yourself anticipating some of Maxwell Smart's retorts. "Would you believe" the movie doesn't miss any opportunity to inject familiar retorts?
"Get Smart" is silly fun.
"Baby Face"
Barbara Stanwyck was fearless in her career. While other actors played it safe, she took chances playing bad girls and underdogs. By 1933, she had made a name for herself in the movie business and although not the stereotypical beauty, there was a quality about her that the camera loved.
As Lily Powers in "Baby Face," Stanwyck pulled out all the stops as a young woman from the wrong side of the tracks determined to get more out of life whatever the cost. Lily, at age 14 had enough of tending bar for her abusive father and decided to climb the corporate ladder - one body at a time. When first released, five minutes of (scandalous?) material was excised from "Baby Face" before it was theatrically screened. Luckily, an unedited, uncensored print was found in 2004 in the vaults of the Library of Congress. Both versions should be available on a restored DVD.
Given the liberties taken on film in the 21st century with violence and sex, you might be hard pressed to see what the fuss was all about, but it does lend perspective on the mores of the time. All that aside, "Baby Face" is fun to watch. Stanwyck's performance is impeccable. Be sure to view the original.

Susan Smart
A Better Place describes the practices around death and burial in nineteenth-century Ontario. Funeral rituals, strong religious beliefs, and a firm conviction that death was a beginning, not an end, helped the bereaved through their times of loss in a century where death was always close at hand.
The book describes the pioneer funeral in detail, as well as the factors that changed this simple funeral into the elaborate etiquette-driven Victorian funeral at the end of the century. It examines the sources of various funeral customs, including the origins of embalming that gave rise to the modern-day funeral parlour. The evolution of cemeteries is explained with the beginnings of cemeteries in specific towns given as examples.
An understanding of these changing burial rites, many of which might seem strange to us today, is invaluable for the family historian. In addition, the book includes practical suggestions for finding death and burial records throughout the century.

Aaron's expects same store revenues in the Sales & Lease Ownership division will increase close to 5% in the third quarter. But due to the operating cost pressures, results for the third and fourth quarter of 2007 will probably be at or below previous guidance.
Aaron Rents said today it would not meet its projected 2007 store opening plan. The company also warned it would be "at the low end of our earnings guidance or somewhat below it" for the third and fourth quarters of 2007.

"Our goal for 2007 was to add 250 new stores, a combination of Company- operated and franchised stores," said R. Charles Loudermilk, Sr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aaron Rents. "At the end of September 2007 we anticipate over 115 of these stores will be completed. However it is evident now, due primarily to construction delays, that all of these stores will not be ready to conduct business by the end of the year. Although hard to exactly predict, we anticipate that 50 to 75 of these additional stores will be pushed into 2008."
"We expect operating costs as a percentage of revenue will be higher than expected in the third and fourth quarter due primarily to these opening delays as we continue to build resources in anticipation of adding new stores. In addition, we have seen collections a little slower and associated write-offs higher than expected so far in the third quarter. We anticipate that the operating cost pressures will subside as revenue is generated as the new stores open and also that collection trends will shortly return to more normalized levels," continued Mr. Loudermilk.
"We expect overall revenues for the third quarter of 2007 to be up over 13% compared to the third quarter of last year. Revenues in the Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership division should increase over 15% in the third quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. In addition, we anticipate that same store revenues in the Aaron's Sales & Lease Ownership division will increase close to 5% in the third quarter compared to the same period last year and that same store core rental revenues will be up approximately 7%. Due to the operating cost pressures mentioned above our results for the third and fourth quarter of 2007 will probably be at the low end of our earnings guidance or somewhat below it. We will discuss revenue and earnings guidance for the remainder of 2007 and the 2008 year as well as new store opening plans when we announce third quarter results on October 24."
Aaron Rents operates more that 1,450 Company-operated and franchised stores in 48 states and Canada.

I know that green was only released in Japan but what is the difference then say, red. Please help.
There is absolutely no difference.
As said by Serebii.net:
Many of you know that in Japan, Pokémon was 1st released in Red and Green versions while Red and Blue versions were released here in the U.S. What very few people don't realize is that the U.S. Blue version is the same as the Japanese Green version. In Japan, their third release, Pocket Monsters Blue version, was quite unique in comparison to the original Red and Green, and also different from the English versions, as well.
What's so different about the Japanese Blue that sets it apart form the Red and Green versions? Well, the most noticeable change was that all of the Pokémon had been redone to look better. (Consequently, these 'redone' Pokémon were also used in the English Red and Blue versions of the game). Another was that Pokémon could be found in places that they originally weren't in in the Red and Green versions. Dittos were added to the Rock Tunnel and Lickitung could be caught in the wild. Also, the Unknown Dungeon was totally redone, with an all new layout (also used for the English versions of the game).
It's lack of popularity was due to the 'ugly' sprites according to articles I've read. So that's the big difference - sprites are different. The Fight menu is a little taller too, to make room for the Japanese texts. Pokemon locations also altered.
So... probably it's the same differences as Red to Blue.

On the eve of the Windows 8 launch, it's no surprise that Microsoft is revealing its next Office suite. What may surprise you is that Office 2013 is not really designed for Windows 8. It's a suite with many remarkable enhancements, but it is not finger friendly.
As Steve Ballmer took the stage in San Francisco Monday to unveil the newest flagship apps, Microsoft was not yet sharing details of pricing or availability for the new suite, but the company did brief me on some particulars of its distribution, along with sharing a demo tablet containing a fully functional preview version of Office 2013 software, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and a load of subsidiary apps such as OneNote and Lync.
Microsoft will be selling them in the usual bundles for home, school and business use, but will also, for the first time, extend the Office 365 subscription to consumers. That means that, for a fixed monthly or annual fee, you will be able to access the latest Microsoft Office software on the Web, and download it on any device, including Macs and PCs, and whatever mobile devices where an Office software suite is currently available.
What Microsoft has not shared yet is news of a tablet-friendly Office designed for touch-controlled Windows 8 tablets, let alone an edition for iPads. (The next Office for Mac has not been revealed either.) When I discussed the matter with Chris Pratley, the general manager of Microsoft's Office Labs, he told me that it will take time for his team to work out how to best design for the finger interface, and that consumer and business subscribers to the 365 service would immediately benefit from any updates — especially if those updates are rolled out for multiple devices at once.
Though this may come as a disappointment to some, the Office 2013 suite itself is impressive in design and execution, so let's take a look at some of its key features, which I've demonstrated in this video:
As you can see from this brief overview, one of the chief design directives for Pratley's team was to eliminate the faux "chrome" that clutters software -- the fake buttons, bars and gutters. Overall, Office is more elegant, and the visual design remained after the streamline is more apt to be relevant to your needs.
I said it wasn't finger friendly and it really isn't, but this aspect of the redesign jives with the overall "Metro" design mentality of Windows 8. When a tablet-optimized version does appear, it will no doubt look very similar.
Microsoft also touts the new Office as being very much integrated with the cloud, particularly accessing and even collaborating on documents stored in the SkyDrive (which offers substantial free storage if you have a Hotmail account or other Windows Live access). I can say that I did enjoy manipulating documents, tossing them to my SkyDrive from one computer, then pulling them up on the tablet to manipulate. I do think the near future will bring independence from local storage for basic documents. However, there are pitfalls, like trying to reach a document on Microsoft's SkyDrive when your connection is spotty.
Here are some of the new features (some of which I demonstrate in the video above):
In Word:
PDF "reflow" - The frustration of dealing with these uneditable PDFs is over. The new version of Word lets you open PDFs as if they were Word docs, even intelligently translating tables and other text formatting for you to easily edit.
Read view - Acknowledging that many Word documents are sent to you not to edit but just to read, Microsoft has created a very fluid Read view. Here's one thing that is finger-friendly: page turn tap buttons appear on either side of the tablet, so that you can scroll through a document without lifting a finger (too much).
In PowerPoint:
Presenter view - I am not a big PowerPoint junkie, but even I value the benefit of this Presenter view, which shows you what your audience can see, along with a timer and a spot for notes. You can even zoom and pan, or use a pen to highlight things in each slide.
In Outlook:
In-line replies - I have never understood why you have to pop out an email to reply to it in Outlook, and now you don't have to. Click Reply, and a little room for your response appears at the top of the document, without having to reorient your eyes.
"Peek" at calendar, etc. - Another thing I don't like about current Outlook is the need to jump into the Calendar. I just want to glance at it, or well, "peek" at it, and now I can. Hover over the calendar icon with your mouse, and you get a nice tidy look ahead that's gone as soon as you know what's ahead.
Weather bar - If you configure your Outlook a certain way, you can keep at-a-glance weather information on top of your calendar. Cool trick: If you are traveling and input your geographical data correctly, the weather forecast will sync to wherever you're going, so you can plan ahead.
People cards/social connectors - One of the coolest things about Windows Phone and Windows 8 is the emphasis on people, and the fact that they have multiple email addresses, social accounts, phone numbers, mailing addresses and all that. The People cards, which are compatible across all of the next-gen Microsoft software, give you control to that, in an application that requires hardcore people-juggling.
In Excel:
Recommended charts - One of the neatest things to hit Office from the labs of Microsoft Research, this feature looks at highlighted data and, on the fly, mocks up a bunch of different charts and tables for it. With so many options, you're bound to find the one chart you actually want, which would have taken you hours to work your way to if you're not an Excel ninja.
"Flash Fill" autocomplete - If you have a tablet with a lot of garbled data and you're trying to clean it up by hand, the Flash Fill function will look at what data you already have, study patterns in the text, and try to lend a hand by guessing what you're going to type. (I realize this is a vague explanation, but trust me, it's a cool feature, especially if you import data into Excel and have to mess with it a lot. Hopefully the image below gives you some idea of what I mean.)
You can get a preview copy for testing at office.com.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I ordered these to match back to radiant ranunculus cards, the yellow came out a little off, but will do the trick. They are simple yet modern at the same time."
"I love these address labels! They are colorful and high quality. The labels are a little big for 3x5 cards, but I use them anyway. The turn around time was awesome! I chose the standard shipping, yet I received my order within days. Much sooner than the delivery estimate. I ordered these to use on all of the thank you notes from my recent wedding and I've gotten lots of comments about how cute they are!"
"These labels are great! The customization process was simple. The quality is great for the price point. I didn't use these as address labels, but as a label for bubbles for my wedding. They were a perfect fit! the I highly recommend this prodiuct!"
"Initially I thought these were a luxury, but they looked "pretty" online - so I decided to order a few and if I didn't like them, it would not be a huge loss. When I received them my only regret was not having ordered more. I absolutely love them. They're beautiful in person. Elegant and very aesthetically pleasing. I planned to put these on the response card envelopes to ensure that the responses are sent to me without incident. Great idea and very worth it."
"I ordered these for my bridal shower invitations and they make the envelope look so chic and festive. As always, great quality and wonderful service. I love them!"

COMPASS Test
The COMPASS (Computerized Adaptive Placement Assessment and Support System) is a computerized placement test. Pitt Community College does not administer the COMPASS test, but will accept scores from the COMPASS test taken at another institution, provided that the scores are not more than 3 years old.
The COMPASS is an adaptive test, meaning the questions are chosen for you on the basis of your answers to previous questions. The number of questions you receive on the test is also dependent on the answers you submit. Submitting an answer before proceeding to the next question is extremely important. Any question(s) left blank will be marked wrong and count against your final score. The test is comprised of both an English section and a math section. The English section has a writing and reading component. The math section measures skills in both pre-algebra and algebra.

I built this machine this past spring, all brand new parts from newegg. The pc runs flawlessly and I love Hulu or high-def movies on it. In addition to regular monitor outputs it also has an hdmi out, and I use a very nice Philips 32" LCD for a monitor. I will uphold all warranties on the unit and assist the buyer in loading pc with whatever software they would like. The specs are as follow;
AMD 64bit Brisbane 5400+ BE 1 Terabyte HD 4 gigs of gaming ram Therm cpu cooler HDMI, and high def sound DVD Burner Custom case, fans, lights Windows 7 Ultimate This tower alone has got roughly $800 into in just in the last few months, and when I purchased the LCD it was $600. I am asking $500 OBO for the tower, and would sell both for $900 OBO. I really do like this unit, but I have just got to get my project boat running before summer is up!
