Hugo is a young boy orphaned then soon after left on his own to fend for himself and care for the clocks in a Paris station. He discovers a machine he thought was lost when his father died in a fire. But his discoveries do not stop there. Risking exposing himself, he sort of befriends a girl named Isabel and her strange and mean godfather who forces Hugo to work for him in his toyshop. Hugo finds out the mystery of the machine and the mystery of Isabel's godfather and his secret past.
Fantastic! I loved how the pictures actually tell the story instead of just accentuating it. Can't wait to read Wonderstruck!
The best book ever! It's so original and unique, the way the author tells the story using mostly pictures and not words. It inspires me a lot to draw, read and write! It's an amazing story and the movie was equally as phenomenal. It's such a success as a book, I definitively recommend this to all ages!
This is such a great book, just like the movie!!! This is a must read... but you should know that it has pictures and word, half and half I would say... But you should definitely read this book and then watch the movie
I recommend this interesting book to be read with or without parents. This book is a very interesting read and the pictures assist in telling the story along with the actual text. The book sort of touches on thievery and how wrong it is, and it also gives examples of consequences of certain actions. The book is a good way of letting children know how different people's lives can be and how certain things in societies differ when comparing two or more societies. This book is definitely quality literature because everything comes together in order to help the story make more sense and it is also told from more than one perspective.

The classical filters have all been developed for a bandedge of
In addition to the lowpass frequency response, other basic ideal responses are often needed in practice. The ideal highpass filter rejects signals with frequencies below a certain value and passes those with frequencies above that value. The ideal bandpass filter passes only a band of frequencies, and the ideal band reject filter completely rejects a band of frequencies. These ideal frequency responses are illustrated in Figure 1.
This section presents a method for designing the three new filters by using a frequency transformation on the basic lowpass design. When used on the four classical IIR approximations (e.g. Butterworth, Chebyshev, inverse-Chebyshev, and Elliptic Function), the optimality is preserved. This procedure is used in the FREQXFM() subroutine of Program 8 in the appendix.
The classical filters have all been developed for a bandedge of
The frequency response illustrated in Figure 1b can be
obtained from that in Figure 1a by replacing the complex
frequency variable
In the design procedure, the desired bandedge
In order to convert the lowpass filter of Figure 1a into
that of Figure 1c, a more complicated frequency
transformation is required. In order to reduce confusion, the complex
frequency variable for the prototype analog filter transfer function will
be denoted by
This change of variables doubles the order of the filter, maps the origin
of the
In order that the transformation give
However, because
This means that only three of the four bandedge frequencies
and, using the same
The finally designed bandpass filter will meet both passband edges and one transition band width, but the other will be narrower than originally specified. This is not a problem with the Butterworth or either of the Chebyshev approximation because they only have passband edges or stopband edges, but not both. The elliptic-function has both.
After the bandedges for the prototype lowpass filter
This gives two transformed roots for each prototype root which doubles the order as expected.
The roots that result from transforming the real pole of an odd- order prototype cause some complication in programming this procedure. Program 8 should be studied to understand how this is carried out.
To design a filter that will reject a band of frequencies, a frequency transformation of the form
is used on the prototype lowpass filter. This transforms the origin of
Similar to the bandpass case, the transformation must give
As before, only three of the four bandedge frequencies can be
independently specified. Normally,

The finally designed bandpass filter will meet both passband edges and one transition-band width, but the other will be narrower than originally specified. This does not occur with the Butterworth or either Chebyshev approximation, only with the elliptic-function.
After the bandedges for the prototype lowpass filter
A more complicated set of transformations could be developed
by using a general map of
Although this method of transformation is a powerful and simple way for designing bandpass and bandreject filters, it does impose certain restrictions. A Chebyshev bandpass filter will be equal-ripple in the passband and maximally flat at both zero and infinity, but the transformation forces the degree of flatness at zero and infinity to be equal. The elliptic-function bandpass filter will bave the same number of ripples in both stopbands even if they are of very different widths. These restrictions are usually considered mild when compared with the complexity of alternative design methods.

KNOXVILLE — For Raven Chavanne, the nerves are a distant memory.
Four years and many, many big college softball stages ago, the Tennessee leadoff hitter and third baseman was a freshman about to make her super regional debut on the road at second-seeded and favored Michigan.
"I remember going to Michigan ... and just being like, 'Oh my gosh,'" Chavanne recalled Thursday, "but you learn and you go from that."
Eventually the weekly challenge of playing in a loaded Southeastern Conference and two College World Series appearances have removed any nerves for Chavanne and the senior core of Tennessee's softball team, which hosts SEC rival and defending national champion Alabama in a super regional in Knoxville with a third World Series trip in four years on the line for the Lady Volunteers.
Chavanne, pitcher Ivy Renfroe, outfielder Kat Dotson and second baseman, top power hitter and two-year U.S. national team member Lauren Gibson were freshmen when Tennessee pulled that upset in 2010.
The six-member class enters the weekend series with the 10th-seeded Crimson Tide with 197 wins and the 2011 SEC tournament title.
"I'm excited," said the All-American Chavanne. "To me there's no point in being nervous. I mean, sure, when the game starts, you get little bit of the butterflies, but it's the good kind.
"The upperclassmen, we've been here before plenty of times. We're just going in there giving it 100 percent with everything we've got, so [we're] not playing careful. We're going to be playing aggressive and playing every single game like it's our last."
Two of the top title contenders, Tennessee and Alabama opened the SEC schedule in a three-game set the Lady Vols won in Tuscaloosa in March. The teams have very similar offensive numbers, and each boasts a dominant pitching pair: Tennessee's Renfroe sisters, Ivy and Ellen, and Alabama's Jackie Traina and Leslie Jury. The two met in last season's World Series opener, a 5-3 Tide win.
Tennessee co-head coach Ralph Weekly, who's led the Lady Vols with wife Karen for 12 seasons, can hardly tell the difference in the two teams from the March encounter and told the Lady Vols on Thursday to relax and focus on playing rather than the pressure of winning.
"You just can't tell what's going to happen," he said. "I know our team's ready, and I know our team's capable of winning. I know their team's ready, and I know their team's capable of winning.
"We've just got to get out there and put it on the line."
It's what Chavanne and the veteran Lady Vols have done plenty of times.
"After going to the World Series a couple of times and playing in this league, there's really no time to be nervous," she said, "because every single weekend feels like you're playing in the super regional when you're in the SEC."
Two part-time outfielders for the Lady Vols are former GPS standouts Tory Lewis and Whitney Hammond.

A year ago, Mitch Berger was hitting sky-high punts for the Super Bowl-champion Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sixteen years ago, Berger was doing the same in Boulder for the Colorado Buffaloes.
Now, Berger is back where it all began and ready to be a bona fide contributor for the Broncos this season.
"This is where I kind of started playing big-time football," Berger said. "It is a great place to be back to."
When Berger entered the league in 1994 with the Philadelphia Eagles, the scene was somewhat different. The Rams and Raiders were still in Los Angeles. The Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars were just named expansion teams. The NFC and AFC Central were two years away from being split into South and North divisions.
Additionally, the NFL adopted a series of rule changes designed to increase offensive production, including the creation of the two-point conversion.
While few players reach the 16-season plateau in the pros, Berger believes he's far from finished.
"I'm hoping that I still have a couple more … It has been a great career," Berger said. "Last year was a great year for me — to win a Super Bowl. I hoped that I could still keep playing and I'm glad to get this chance."
Much of his longevity comes from a mixed bag of tricks. Berger said that's an essential part of his game — knowing when to keep the ball out of the end zone versus put the ball out of bounds.
That flexibility has helped Berger rank fifth in the league since 1999 in both gross (43.4) and net (36.6) punt average (min. 500 kicks).
"He is a veteran guy who has been asked to punt the ball different ways, different styles," Head Coach Josh McDaniels said. "We don't just tell our punter to kick it as far as you can on every play. We ask a lot of them."
With heavy snows hitting the Denver area this afternoon, the Broncos moved indoors to practice at their nearby bubble.
Here are some photos from the session.

Q. My girls like to hear a bedtime story about my many "adventures" when I was a kid. One involves the explorations my brothers and I did of the wooded area just north of Illinois 161 and North 17th Street. About 100 yards north of what are now the MetroLink tracks was an overgrown and presumably forgotten cemetery. Every tombstone was about 18 inches high and shaped like the Washington Monument. But there were no names on them, just a number. I recall one of my brothers later saying he had gone to the library and found the cemetery to be a relic of the cholera epidemics that hit here in the 1830s and '40s. He said people died so fast that graves were pre-dug and markers pre-engraved. I'm wondering what you know, so I can give my girls the rest of the story.
-- Todd Eschman, of Belleville
A. If your parents were like mine, they occasionally would cry in exasperation "You're driving us to the poorhouse!" when family finances became a bit tight.
By the time I was in school, that expression was just a figure of speech. But for more than a century, St. Clair County ran a very real poorhouse for vagrants, immigrants and others unable to provide for themselves financially.
Thousands of the county's most destitute residents would find shelter there throughout the decades. When they died, they usually were buried nearby in the Old Paupers Graveyard, their final resting place marked only by those small, numbered stones you and your brothers found.
This sad tale began Jan. 17, 1844, when the county commissioners asked Sam Chandler and Simon Stookey to find land suitable for a poorhouse and farm. They bought a 40-acre tract for $450 from Henry Milton on what would become Old Caseyville Road, just north of those MetroLink tracks.
A year later, the circuit clerk ordered all county residents caring for paupers to bring them to the new poorhouse that had been built for $846.37. Eventually, the farm would include two wards for women, two for men, a house for older men, another for the disabled, a dining room and numerous outbuildings.
In time, it would become its own little community with stables, barns, a laundry and a morgue. In May 1890, kitchen and furnace buildings were erected. Its hospital boasted an operating room, a room for sterilizing equipment and a tubercular department. In 1924, a separate dormitory to house employees was added.
The population and length of stays varied. In 1853, for example, residents were listed by nationality; a census of nearly 200 included two Hungarians, 47 Irish, 90 Germans and three Danes. Its longest resident was likely a Mollie Bey, who arrived as an orphan in 1859 -- and died there in 1915 at age 72.
She would join literally thousands of others buried in that graveyard next to the poorhouse. Now, their legacy lives on only on those stone markers and yellowed death certificates.
According to one of the handwritten notices dated July 30, 1860, a 30-year-old Ireland native named Julia Kiltsey died of "congestive chills." Another certificate states that a deaf and mute infant died of "the effects of teething."
Your brother was partially right, however. During the area's sporadic cholera and diphtheria outbreaks, some victims apparently were buried quickly in fields like these to slow the spread of these deadly plagues. As a result, some began calling it the "old-pest cemetery" -- although, back then, "pest" also referred to the mentally retarded and the physically handicapped as well as the sick, historians say.
By the time of the Great Depression, it was the poorhouse being driven to the poorhouse. The county said townships were not paying their fair share for their indigent residents, which it estimated at 45 to 50 cents per person per day. Township officials complained they were being gouged, saying that the figure should have been more like 37 cents.
The financial crisis came to a head in 1955. A St. Clair County Board committee found that townships were paying $90 a month for each resident at the poorhouse, far more than the $58 other institutions would have charged. Within months, the St. Clair County Home and Hospital was closed and the remaining 65 residents were transferred to other area nursing homes and hospitals.
Now, the living quarters, smokehouse, pigpens, chicken coops, and corn crib are all gone, leaving only those small, numbered markers to provide mute testimony to the charity those poor souls once found there.
Final note: If you and your brothers remember seeing more elaborate headstones, it was the Badgely family cemetery that lies adjacent to the paupers graveyard.

Century Grace Diamond & Sapphire Watch
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
Even the dial of the watch is mostly a sapphire crystal. Cut and polished by hand complimented by 164 baguette cut diamonds (4.98 carats) on the case. The dial itself is mirrored with dauphine watch hands. Inside the watch is a quartz movement (of course). The Art Deco angularity of the watch continues into very nicely rendered bracelet. Again it is in 18k white gold, with the other eight Century sapphire crystals (one was used for the watch case) surrounded by 177 more baguette cut diamonds (whopping 8.70 carats). Not sure about the (equivalent to a small nation's GDP) price, but I do know that Century watches are mostly found in Asian markets (clue that their website is in English and Japanese only). A watch from Century, for your savings of the century.

Kester's 'Delicate Balance' |
Written by Mike Buetow | |||
Monday, 30 June 2008 19:00 | |||
ITW's July 2006 acquisition of Kester (kester.com) has garnered perhaps
less attention than other moves the conglomerate has made of late, but
it was no less significant. In May, Bill Spring, Kester's paste general
manager, and Jeff King, general manager of metals and chemicals,
described the cultural and strategic shifts taking place at one of the
world's largest solder companies to Circuits Assembly's Mike Buetow.
Excerpts. CA: What can you tell us about Kester today? BS: We're taking an absolutely different approach [than in the past]. As you are probably aware, the ITW philosophy is all about 80/20. In a nutshell, it's about focus and simplification. We aren't trying to be everything to everybody. We're trying to be focused and absolutely excellent at doing fewer things, but doing them very, very well. It's grossly simple on the surface, but takes some energy to get people to think differently. It's more of a cultural shift. Naturally, there's some fallout and upheaval, but in the end, the company is stronger and more efficient than ever. CA: What has the customer reaction been to 80/20? BS: In the end – and it's all about customers – they understand where we're headed. They might not always like the changes as they happen, but they understand and appreciate what we're doing and ultimately, they know it will be beneficial for them. CA: We talk a lot about change and yet when it happens, the inclination is to resist. What are the biggest challenges you've encountered? BS: The ITW formula works. It's a question of getting everyone on board and getting everything in place. It doesn't take place overnight. We're patient with that – to a degree – but expectations are high. The result will come; we know that will happen. We've had a very good [2008], probably better than we thought it would be, given the economy. In that regard, our expectations for the balance of 2008 are conservative. That said, the strategy of simplification absolutely works. We have spent time taking our internal people to other divisions to get them to understand how immensely powerful this strategy is. That way, they get a better sense of it than they would by just hearing it from management. Where we have to get better is in our ability to continue to perfect our quality – in solder, this is grossly important – and customer service. Everyone expects that. CA: Having ITW as a parent must ease the uncertainty that hangs over companies owned by investment groups. BS: People get nervous on any acquisition. There's a relief at first that someone is going to invest in the company. With holding companies, typically, there's a sense the business will be reshaped so someone will buy it. Since ITW took over, we've conducted some restructuring, but there was some that needed to be done. Last fall, we broke Kester into different units as part of our focus strategy, so we don't get bogged down as we might in a bigger organization, and now can think "smaller" and react faster. It's a delicate balance to make that happen. We want to make it easier for our customers to do business with us. With smaller business units, we can be more flexible. JK: I'd like to offer some background. When Northrop Grumman owned Kester, the group we were in had about $1 billion in annual sales. Northrop sold all those companies, and that's when we were purchased by American Capital. ITW has a history of buying and holding companies and being a good owner. They have a history of buying companies that have great brand names and where they see great upside. What Kester provided was a strong basic platform for the company to grow. BS: We will get tremendous support from ITW's corporate management. They will invest in this business. They want us to have absolutely the best equipment. We want to make sure we have capacity, so they will help us invest in capacity, and not rely on inventory as a crutch. Most companies today probably believe that, and we definitely want to have the right capacity to handle the ups and downs as they take place. Our business is no different than most: it's customer service and quality. When ITW buys a company like Kester, there's this thinking: The purpose is to use our ITW philosophies to grow the business profitably and exceed our customers' expectations. Somewhere inside ITW, you could find parts of acquired businesses didn't exactly fit, but the acquisition strategy is not to buy a business only to break it apart to resell it. ITW wants all their companies to be autonomous with defined niches, because we know that increases the chances to be successful with our customers. CA: Most manufacturers define full capacity as 80% of available resources. Where do you stand on that? BS: That's the number we use: 80%. When we have an average of 80% of our demand going on with our capacity, we look at it at as time to invest in more capacity. You need time to expand, lead times for equipment, and by the time you start that, you are being pushed on capacity utilization. JK: In the past 9 months, we have virtually squeezed late orders out of our systems. We're in a position now where we have a lot of capacity to bring to bear – up to 120-130% of what's needed in any given week. CA: What can you tell us about the changes made to your plants? BS: It starts with focus. By that, I mean a simplified product offering. We do fewer things, and do them really well. We can concentrate dedicated equipment. That was never done in the past. We pick up tremendous efficiency because of the way we dedicate people and equipment. There are always tons of things in manufacturing that can be improved. You take the easy ones first. It's a continual process, and you do that repeatedly. You start with the right product offering that meets key customers' needs (that doesn't mean there might not be some small ones too). The narrowing of the product lines greatly helps simplify manufacturing. We try not to have a "shelf full of toothpaste offerings," for example, that all do the same thing. We'd rather have just a few lines, but they are the best lines. CA: Do you try to make product where it will be consumed? JK: Typically, Kester will make the formulas locally. We don't try to move a lot of finished goods around the world. As a global player, one advantage we do have is the ability to supply product locally. BS: Obviously you can't have a plant in every spot, but there's a delicate balance to be well located to service your key customers. Having backup manufacturing facilities is always a reassurance for the customer. CA: Within ITW, customer service is a big area of emphasis. Do you reassign staff in order to beef up that area? BS: That depends. We kept customer service intact. We think that's healthy for this division, so customers have one customer service hub. The specialization behind that is to let the business units do their own thing. As you segment and the business stands alone, the units are fully autonomous to decide what to do to grow. JK: In November, we segmented our businesses internally. We now better understand our costs and what is sold in our business. We break problems down to smaller pieces and put people in charge to solve those problems. We're sensitive to how customers want to do business in the field, however, and those wishes may or may not make sense to how we structure the internal business. Customers want to talk to the same people they've been talking to on their invoices, their products. CA: What are your thoughts on whether SnCu will outdo SAC as the Pb-free alloy of choice? JK: The groups I'm responsible for are metals (bar and wire) plus chemicals, K100LD bar among them [Ed.: K100LD is a eutectic SnCu solder]. All-tin product is all about getting away from silver, for which the price has gone up tremendously. This is a way to have a lower-cost alternative. SAC 305 is still the gold standard on a global basis. But it's clear KLD bar and wire are making inroads. What's interesting is the change started in Asia and Europe. The US has been slower to make that switch. At the same time, we're selling KLD in bar and wire. I think there will be several alloys that will come to the forefront here. CA: What many readers still don't understand is how affected you are by the metals markets. JK: It is a global market, like it or not. At one time I think people thought we could control pricing. As prices climb, we try to pass through metals so our customers can control costs. When everyone went to Pb-free, there were some pretty good jolts there. We follow the metals market daily. We change prices weekly, depending on what the market does. We want to have stability because we deal with distributors and they want to be able to give a customer a quote. We let our price float on top of metal. We try not to speculate in the market: That's a good way to go broke. One concern is China has gone from an exporter of tin to a net importer. I think tin will get nothing but higher as the price of the dollar goes down. We track that every day. Metal is our number one raw material and we try to follow that business closely. BS: On the paste side, more and more people want lower silver content because it will lower the metals cost. But, they don't want to start if they don't have the full data. We see that over and over again. People are conservative there because they want a proven entity. CA: Once the transition matures, what will be the percentage of use? JK: Pb-free was driven by European legislation and the Japanese consumer electronics companies. Companies are switching to Pb-free everyday, and we supply people who make everything from car radios to toys. Less than half the market has switched, according to IPC data. What has become clear is that both lead and Pb-free alloys are going to be around for some time. CA: Everyone talks about solder technology, but less is discussed on the flux side. What are you seeing in chemistries? BS: ITW likes to be on the forefront of developing new products. I think there's no question you'll see more water-based fluxes. In Europe, water-based fluxes continue to grow because of legislation on green initiatives. We see that in California, too. We're ready to make that switch. People are also talking about halide and halogen content … we have paste, wire, and fluxes ready to sell in this area. We see that as an opportunity. CA: That involves some work, as it's not just a drop-in. JK: There's no question, if you've been using alcohol-based fluxes and want to switch to water-based fluxes, there's some equipment changes. If you go back 2 to 3 years, there was a steep learning curve, but I think we are over that now. For some customers, it was a question of capital equipment, for others, just a few parts to change. Our products have been proven in a variety of setups. Also, because we're global, we have an advantage in that we can offer a product for trial in Germany and then supply that product to a variety of locations around the world. I think more and more customers want to deal with a company that can supply their needs regardless of where they choose to make their products in the world market, and still get the full complement of products: bar, wire, flux and paste.

Nando (ナオシ Naoshi) | |
General | |
Name: | Nando |
Japanese Name: | ナオシ Naoshi |
Region: | Sinnoh |
Family: | Unknown |
Class: | Trainer and Coordinator |
Friends: | Ash Dawn |
First Appearance: | DP004: Dawn Of A New Era! |
Nando is a character in Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl.
Nando is a rather unique trainer in that he is battling in both contests and gyms with the hope of being in both the Pokémon League and the Grand Festivals in Sinnoh. He is a competent trainer and also enjoys to play on his harp, which is shaped like a Mew. Due to his taking up of both vocations, he is a rival to both Ash and Dawn. His biggest rival is Zoey.
On hand
- Nando's golden harp, which he carries with him, is shaped like a Mew.
- The harp he holds during Contests is shaped as two Mew joined at the tail.
- Nando shares his two unknown badges with two of Barry's three unknown badges.
- His accent and the fact that he takes part in both Gym Battles and Contests makes very similar to Fantina.
- In both big ending competitions (Grand Festival and Sinnoh League) Nando has used at least one Pokémon that doesn't fit into what his Pokémon usually are (grass or ones that can use Sing).

'Serious Moonlight' review: Meg Ryan stars in humorless film
December 03, 2009, 5:45PM
Adrienne Shelly was a well-liked indie actress with a promising career as a filmmaker (the sweet-as-pie "Waitress" was hers; she also played one of the servers).

"Brothers" Movie Review -- There has been a long line of movies about our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: "In the Valley of Elah," "The Hurt Locker," "The Messenger," "Grace is Gone." Most focused on the home front. Some drew critical raves. None found a large audience. They all, however, felt as if they were about this time, and... Full story »

NEW YORK — He's talking to me? Robert De Niro is sitting on a couch, CNN mumbling on the hotel TV in the background, doing the one thing the famously press-shy star almost never does: answering questions about himself.

At the third and final day of the 2013 StrataRx conference in Boston, innovators in healthcare and big data assessed a rapidly evolving landscape. One of the key topics discussed was the current state of "deal flow" at the intersection of healthcare, big data and information technology.
Data will drive many of the sweeping changes coming with the Affordable Care Act to the U.S. healthcare system. At the StrataRx conference in Boston this week, innovators in "big data" for healthcare assessed its role in bringing advances in personalized and predictive medicine, major cost savings and research that leads to new technologies.

PicMarker watermarks, keeps your photos safe from evildoers
The correct attribution for online photos is a touchy subject. People like to snazz up all sorts of things with photos they find on the Internet, and hunting down who owns the picture isn't always the easiest thing if it's been passed around without the proper credit. In December of last year, the video "Here Comes Another Bubble" caused a stir when video creators The Richter Scales were found using other people's photos without any kind of attribution whatsoever. The snafu sparked an online debate about digital media rights, and the fallout was substantial. The … Read more

Scuba Tank Visual Inspection Sticker VIP SKU: 4545E8D Price: $1.95
Genesis GS2000 Balanced Scuba Diving Regulator SKU: 4035 Price: $237.95
Mares Rover R2S Scuba Diving Regulator Octo Package SKU: 4567C2A Price: $319.95
Scuba diving and surfing wetsuits are usually made of neoprene, but the difference between them is generally style and cuts. If you are looking at a shorty or full suit up to a 4/3mm thickness, chances are that each suit can be used for surf or scuba with no problems. The thicker scuba wetsuits have more air bubbles in the neoprene which acts to keep the suit from compressing at depth, and thus losing warmth.
Thicker surf suits have less bubbles in the neoprene so if used for Scuba, once the diver reaches about 33 feet or even 60 feet the atmospheric pressure will compress the suit thus making it less warm.
So, the answer is, shorties and full suits up to about 4/3mm thick are pretty much interchangeable, as long as you are happy with the style and cut of the suit.

DIY: Circle Skirts Part 1
(Left: Prada skirt from SS04. Right: From Waist Down exhibit)
In honor off the Waist Down: SKirtss by Miuccia Prada exhibit, I'm posting directions how how to make a circle skirt. A circle skirt is just like it's described, when you lay it out flat, it's in the shape of a circle. It's one of the the most basic forms of a skirt. These are general directions, be sure to add your own personal touch!
1.5 yards of light to medium weight fabric
1' wide grograin ribbon in matching color of fabric
Sewing thread
A large size snap button or hook and slide.
7" zipper
Fabric scissors
Tailor's chalk
Measuring Tape
Sewing machine
Waist (measure exactly around where you want the skirt to sit, don't measure too low!)
Length of skirt
1. The waist measurement is like the circumference of a circle. Using this measurement, add 2" (for seam allowance), divide by 3.14, then divide by 2. This will give you the radius. For example if your waist measurement is 28", you will get 4.7" as the radius.
Note: If you only want to have one seam, you can just add only 1" as seam allowance when you calculate your radius. Then make sure to only cut one of the horizontal folds in step 5.
2. Fold your fabric half horizontally, then vertically. Use pins to hold in place.
3. Measure 4.7" (or your personal radius number) from the center point of the folds and mark. Do this several times on different angles until there is enough points to connect and mark the waistline. Mark 1/4" seam allowance above waistline. (Please see reader's comments for additional tips on fit)
4. Mark the length of the skirt desired. Measure from the waistline on different angles and connect to form a curved line. Mark 1/4" seam allowance below hemline. (Please see reader's comments for additional tips on fit)
5. Cut along marked lines (along marked seam allowances only). Now carefully cut along horizontal folds (this is the side seams).
6. Remove pins and unfold. Insert zipper on one side of seam. Sew along the side seams with 1/2" seam allowance. Serge seams and hem line. Fold 1/4" along hemline and sew.
7. Fold grograin ribbon in half width wise. Sew 1/4" along cut edge and turn with seams inward. Pins along edges. Edge stitch along one side ribbon. Sandwich skirt waist between the ribbon and pin. Carefully edge stitch along ribbon making sure skirt is caught in between. Note: Leave some excess ribbon on one side of the opening for button or hook and slide)
8. Sew snap button or hook and slide at the ribbon waist band opening.

Great instructions, but I'd edit one thing. Since most women's cross-sections of waists or hips are much more oblong than circular, I would adjust the waist "radius" accordingly, and add another bit to allow the fabric to flow over the butt while still hanging at the same length as the front.
Great blog--I've been reading for a while now. You've made me look at knits in a very different way, making me more aware of the design possibilities.- kate10:29 AM
I agree with the comment above that the pattern has to be altered slightly to accommodate a body's curve, namely the butt. Although its symmetrical geometry is quite beautiful, it will hang much shorter in the back than the front when being worn (rendering it...not so beautiful). However, I think it would be far easier to adjust the hemline instead of the waist radius. It would be very difficult to predict how much to add where around the waistline whereas the hemline can be adjusted at any time, preferably the end. Since each person is different it would be necessary to put the skirt on before determining where that adjustment needs to be made - this done by marking the same distance from the floor to the desired length of the skirt all the way around, then hemming along that line.
I love the pattern though. It's great how simple it is and it definitely maximizes the amount of fabric required. I'm also impressed that you were able to relay the instructions so well with only one visual. Well done. thank you for making that so easy!! my daughter is almost 7, she's watched grease like 100 times, and refuses to wear anything but dresses like that and capri's, so the capri's are covered, and the dresses, pretty well covered, the skirts, i've been looking all over, and no luck, i'm not good with the words, until one said, "circle skirt" YAY then i found this!!! you are the total BOMB!!! i just scored tons of fabric on freecycle.org for her, so now i can get busy!!! WOOO HOOO!!! Thank You!!! {{{HUGZ}}} ~Medo

2014-2015 Freshmen Scholarships for Non-Resident Students
The term "Non-Resident" refers to students who have graduated from U.S. high schools outside of the state of Nebraska. Students coming to UNK from outside of the U.S. may click here to learn about International Student scholarship opportunities.
All first year students who apply for regular admission to the University of Nebraska at Kearney will be evaluated for scholarship eligibility based on information supplied with the application for admission. Scholarships requiring separate applications are specified in the descriptions below. Typically, UNK notifies students of scholarship awards shortly after they have been admitted to the university.
Please note: The list of scholarships found below may not be a complete listing of scholarships available to first year students. Depending on the availability of scholarship funding, UNK may award additional scholarships to recognize high academic achievement or potential.
Academic Scholarship Awards
When determining scholarship eligibility for incoming freshmen, UNK uses class rank and ACT/SAT scores submitted to the university by official sources (high school transcripts or test scores sent to UNK from ACT/SAT per the student's request). The deadline to qualify for most freshmen scholarships for the 2014-15 academic year is February 1, 2014. It is the student's responsibility to make sure this information is submitted on time. If a student receives new ACT/SAT scores after originally submitting information to UNK, UNK will reevaluate a scholarship award on the basis of the new ACT/SAT scores only IF those scores are sent automatically to the university by ACT/SAT. Scholarship awards will NOT be automatically reevaluated if new information is submitted by another source, such as a high school transcript. If a student's new score information is submitted to UNK via a high school transcript, the student must request a reevaluation of the scholarship award by writing to the Freshmen Scholarship Committee, c/o the Office of Financial Aid. No scholarship awards will be reevaluated on the basis of information submitted to UNK after the February 1, 2014 scholarship deadline.In order to be considered for any academic scholarship awards, a new student must meet the following minimum criteria: 1) Be admitted to UNK by February 1, 2014; 2) Receive a minimum composite score of 23 on the ACT (1070 on the SAT); and 3) Be ranked in the top 30% of the high school graduating class.
UNK uses a "Scholarship Index" to determine eligibility for the following scholarship. The index combines the ACT score and class rank stated on the official high school transcript at the time of admission to determine if a student qualifies for the scholarship. Blue & Gold Scholarship: Full waiver of tuition awarded to non-resident students with a scholarship index of 100 to 87. The scholarship is renewable for up to 125 credit hours at UNK.
Click here to access the Scholarship Index Estimator.
