Kits + Quilting
With the kids in school, it's been a remarkably productive couple of days over here. The house is clean, dinner has been planned ahead each night, I've actually gone to the gym (shocking!!) and I've even spent busy chunks of time in my sewing room.
This week I also received a great package in the mail. Last week I ordered Moda Fabric's Modern Building Blocks pattern and kit. I remember seeing this quilt at market and it was one of those stop-you-in-your-tracks moments for me. I love Moda's Bella Solids and the colors in this quilt, along with the layout of the blocks, really spoke to me. I cannot wait to make this (even if it will have to wait in line a bit until I'm done with other commitments).
Also, I love the packaging of this kit. I was joking on Instagram that whoever came up with it deserves a promotion! Wouldn't this make a beautiful birthday or Christmas gift for a quilter? (Husbands…hint hint!)
The inside has all the fabrics, layout and assembly directions, as well as this handy set of double sided cards with all the block patterns.
You can buy this kit at a few of my sponsors:
The Loopy Ewe (fabric kit with pattern)
Fat Quarter Shop (fabric kit with pattern)
Fat Quarter Shop (fabric kit with pattern – PREORDER if link above sold out)
Fat Quarter Shop (pattern only, no fabric)
Lark Cottons
So, besides drooling over this kit for the last few days, I've also been working on my sadly neglected Arkansas Traveler quilt! I basted it yesterday while watching Call the Midwife on Netflix. Wow, what a great show (even if it does make me cry at every episode!).
I started quilting in the blue fabric areas using a coordinating blue thread I had on hand – Aurifil's Color Me Happy by V & Co's set. It's #2775 in a 50wt (orange spool). I'm still debating whether or not to quilt the cream fabrics (with an off white thread) or leave them unquilted, giving it a slightly poofy look.
I'm using my Bernina Stitch Regulator (BSR) which I just realized I've been using for 5 years! Obviously I've had a lot of time to practice with it. I've had some people ask for tips on using it.
• I don't go too slow or too fast. I try to find a nice, middle of the road speed and stick to it. It might help to get some music (not too crazy now!) with a consistent rhythm and play that while you sew, to get in a nice groove.
• I use Bernina's single hole stitch plate when stitching straight lines.
• For a while I found that when I was stopping stitching (like to remove a pin), I was taking my foot off the pedal while still moving the fabric slightly. Not good, this leads to messed up stitches. Stop completely before taking your foot off the pedal. When you stop moving the fabric, the stitching will stop as well. (At least does when I use BSR 2).
• If you are feeling like your fabric is getting stuck and you have to pull it (leading to messed up stitches), lessen your pressure foot setting. I've had to do this with some fabrics that just didn't seem to slide well under my foot. Other's swear by using something called the Supreme Slider on their machine. I don't have one though.
• And then just practice, practice, practice. When I first sat down to use the BSR I thought I would turn my machine on and suddenly my quilting would be perfect. Um, it wasn't. lol I needed to still practice. If you still aren't getting the results you think you should be getting, ask if you can bring your machine into your dealer and have them watch you quilt on your machine. I'm sure they will have tips as well.
I'm halfway finished with the blue and about to go upstairs and get cracking again. I can't wait to (finally!) share this completed quilt with you soon!

Imagine Quilts
Happy Monday everyone! As I type this, I'm sitting in a very quiet house. Last week, for the first time in almost 8 years, both kids went to school at the same time. Although I obviously knew it was coming, it's so weird. So now I'm plotting and cleaning and stitching and beginning to think about this new chapter. (And the kids area absolutely loving school and their new teachers.)
Today I'm excited to share with you a new quilting book, sent to me by Dana Bolyard of Old Red Barn, Co. ~ Imagine Quilts : 11 Patterns from Everyday Inspirations. Dana is a hugely talented quilter and as soon as I saw the beautiful quilt on the cover of her new book, I knew I needed to get my hands on it.
Imagine Quilts is 64 pages and contains 11 quilt patterns. The patterns are sorted into 4 sections: "be inspired by your stash", "use techniques in new ways", "look around", and "break the rules". There is a 1 page introduction and then Dana jumps into the patterns.
I love the idea of being inspired by your stash. Many of us are a bit of fabric collectors…sometimes even forgetting what we have buried under the piles. Dana talks about pulling fabric, making piles, and seeing where that leads you.
Imagine Quilts not only has very in depth patterns…
But also even shows alternative layouts with one of the blocks.
The "Zip It!" quilt is one of my favorites. I just look at it and think "how did she do that??"
I also love the "Princess Crowns" quilt and Dana's ideas on working with Dresden Plates. This quilt would be fun in a huge range of colors.
Each pattern that requires templates has them printed in the book, to scale. All you need to do is make copies – I don't believe I saw any that required enlarging (which is always nice!). The end of the book contains 6 pages of terms, tools and tips and tricks.
I hope you will check out Imagine Quilts and also be inspired by the patterns inside!

Action Kivu Fundraiser
Today I'm excited to share with you a fantastic Community Giving opportunity. This week is the Annual Action Kivu Fundraiser. For the last 5 years, Alissa Haight Carlton from Handmade by Alissa has hosted a fundraising effort to support Action Kivu.
"Action Kivu helps women and children who are victims of the conflict in Eastern Congo. One of the wonderful things that Action Kivu helps finance is a sewing workshop that teaches women to sew. When these women graduate from the workshop, they are given a sewing machine and therefore the means to support themselves and their families." – Alissa
This year's goal is to raise $15,000 by Friday, August 24th. For different giving amounts, you are entered to win prizes donated by amazing artists and quilters like Denyse Schmidt, Anna Maria Horner, Elizabeth Hartman, Jacquie Gering and more. For all the details and to donate to this amazing cause, visit Alissa's blog. And remember, you can keep up with all sorts of great ways to help others on my Community Giving page.

Neem oil also contains high levels of fatty acids that soak in quickly to soothe and nourish even chronically dry and itchy skin.

By JEFF MEYERS
---- — PLATTSBURGH — George Barber's pride for the day he graduated from college has not diminished in six decades.
Barber, now 85, is celebrating the 60th anniversary of his graduation from Champlain College on June 14, 1953, the second of only two classes to complete their bachelor's studies at the short-lived facility.
He took advantage of the free tuition offered to veterans following World War II.
"At that time, they were giving veterans a chance to go to college, if they didn't get booted out (once enrolled)," Barber said from the home where he has lived since 1960 and where he and his wife, Elizabeth, raised their six children.
"They'd give a random test once every semester, maybe more, and if you didn't do well, you were kicked out. Once you knew what was happening (with the importance of the random testing), you paid all the more attention to your studies."
Champlain College opened on Sept. 23, 1946, as a two-year transfer college on U.S. Oval, the former site of the Plattsburgh Barracks. About 1,800 students were enrolled during the school's first semester, and 300 students graduated during the first commencement in 1950.
In that same year, the college became one of two liberal-arts colleges to expand to a four-year program under the newly created State University of New York system.
Under the GI Bill and the Associated Colleges of Upper New York, veterans were assured that no student would be excluded because of their race, sex or economic condition.
The overwhelming majority of Champlain College students were veterans, but several men and women from the local community also attended.
For Barber, the opportunity was a dream come true.
"I joined the Army in the last semester of high school (in April 1946)," he said, describing how he had left high school after a verbal disagreement with a gym teacher and decided on the spot to leave school and enlist.
"I finished basic training and came home (to Schenectady) a few days before graduation. I was the only private in the Regular Army in uniform at my graduation."
Barber was then ordered to Korea in June 1946. Although hostilities with the Japanese had ended many months earlier, Barber still remembers with clarity coming off the transport ship and nearly "rubbing elbows" with Japanese soldiers as they boarded an outgoing ship en route to their homeland.
His stay in Korea was short-lived, however. He had enlisted for two years, but by the end of 1946, doctors discovered that he had tuberculosis, and he was sent home to spend the next nine months in a Denver hospital.
He was later transferred to Sunmount Hospital in Tupper Lake before finally being discharged and returning to Schenectady.
"A father of one of my friends saw me with my new car (that he had purchased with money he had saved during his enlistment), and he told me I better get in my car and drive up to Plattsburgh and enroll in class," he said of the final link that would bring him to Champlain College.
"I respected what he had to say," he said. "I drove up on Friday, found the administration office, and they told me to be here Monday morning."
During his first year at Champlain, he lived in a single dorm room on campus because of his recent bout with tuberculosis. After returning from summer vacation in Schenectady for his second year, he learned that the room had not been saved for him, and he had to scramble to find a place to live.
"I looked around and found the greatest house in Plattsburgh," he said of the home he would eventually stay in for the remainder of his college days. That house is across the road from where he finally settled down with his wife and raised his family.
The daughter of the family who owned the house where he stayed, Peg McDowell, would eventually become a lifelong friend and would become "like a grandmother" to Barber's children.
After graduating from Champlain, which was at that time slated to close in favor of building the new Plattsburgh Air Force Base, Barber met his wife-to-be while they both took an adult art course at Plattsburgh High School. Elizabeth Mulligan had come to Plattsburgh from Glasgow, Scotland.
While in college, Barber had worked part-time for a local surveyor. He would balance that experience with his educational training to put together a successful career as an independent surveyor and construction worker.
He was also very outspoken during his day and would challenge the Plattsburgh political leaders when he felt they were not doing as well as they should. He was also a regular contributor to the Letters to the Editor page of the Press-Republican.
It was a lifetime ago when Barber accepted his diploma from Champlain College with pride, but it has been a lifetime filled with memories and accomplishments.

BRUCE - A man suspected of sexually assaulting area young boys now faces more charges.
Dennis Hess, who's from Bruce, is now charged with sexually assaulting a second boy. Investigators in Altoona say he told them the assaults started when he was around age 11, and continued for several years.
The boy said he never reported it because he knew Hess's other alleged victim, and that nothing happened to Hess when that boy first reported being assaulted many years ago.
Altoona police have said they believe there are numerous potential victims in northwestern Wisconsin, and are asking anyone with information to contact them. Hess is in jail under $50,000 bond.

Sure it takes more time. You have to import your files in to LR or whatever convertor you use. You have to select all of them and apply your formulas and do a batch process. Then you have to create a folder separate from your original, then tie your computer up for however long it takes to process these images. An hour or so later you come back and then you can send them to your client. It is all time and if it isn't necessary for someone selling their pictures why make the extra work? No need in it for that person.
This would be a valid argument if you are using your computer 24/7 and therefore the extra time the computer was "tied up" was an unrecoverable loss of your time or you feel the need to sit there and watch it work. But that is not likely the case. While the computer is doing the imports and batch processing that time can be used for other things.
How about this, I want to go to CR and debate RAW files and my computer is slow and sluggish because it is tied up converting RAW files because I am on a deadline to get the pictures out. Any task is easier if you can finish it one sitting and don't have to go do something and come back to it. Or maybe I want to download the latest movie and my computer is bogged down, I might not even be able to play Pants vs Zombies, what do I do then?
Extra work is extra work, it wouldn't be a problem if I worked for the federal government, from my experience they seem to thrive on meaningless extra work. Those of us that have to be productive do not do extra work unless we have to.
A little stubborn and defensive? I already conceded that if you are already using your computer 24/7 then there could be some loss of productivity, I just don't think that's very likely for most... but sure if you need to play games or waste time getting defensive on CR then you have a point. Of course, if you're doing those things then I don't accept you're on a tight deadline to get images out to your client.
Anyone can dream up hypothetical situations where the "computer time" to batch process is a loss of productivity but it's just not broadly applicable. Even awin's example of a 2000 image library from a wedding shoot is a weak case because you would not likely have a 24-hour turn around on a wedding so the batch could be run overnight. A commercial shoot with a 24-hour turnaround would not involve thousands of images, maybe a few hundred and in those cases you'd likely be editing anyway so need RAW which Awin stated himself.

There are some picks in this sector that have excellent valuations and strong earnings growth.
- Gold stocks to buy amid the Ukraine crisis
These three hot movers could rise by double digits in the coming months.
- RadioShack weighs rescue deal options
The electronics retailer is burning through cash, could run out by the end of '15.
If Europe slumps to recession levels next year, the company could see sales growth stall.
In a year that saw stunning underperformance by some big-name stocks, one indicator proved most useful.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
No matter what happens in the last few days, this trading year has been an especially rough one for stock investors. While the S&P 500 is still down for the year, the Dow Industrials are actually up almost 5% (at time of writing).
So how could investors have known to be in the SPDR Diamond Trust (DIA), which tracks the Dow, instead of the Spyder Trust (SPY), which tracks the S&P 500?
Cigarette sales by subsidiary Philip Morris underpin profitability, stock price.
Cigarette manufacturers across the country have continued to raise prices as they adjust to shrinking demand. Reynolds American (RAI) is also raising prices by 5 cents per pack, while Lorillard (LO) will increase prices by 6 cents per pack.
Deutsche Telekom will look to other suitors, including Sprint, or dispose of network operator piecemeal.
While spectrum and roaming agreements will benefit T-Mobile from a network coverage standpoint, we do not expect that Deutsche Telekom will invest the $3 billion in the U.S. carrier, given its plans to exit the market. Although a portion will certainly be used to cover some of the struggling company's expenses.
A rumored device from Sony could raise the stakes in the smartphone market.
One hot subject undoubtedly will be the next generation in mobile phones: bigger and far more advanced. Sony (SNE) is thought to be making a splash in the U.S. soon with a device it calls its "superphone."
Amazon's success could prompt a major redesign of the iPad.
According to DigiTimes, Apple could come up with a 7.85-inch iPad next year in order to overcome the challenge posed by the 7-inch Kindle Fire tablets, even as other competitors such as Research in Motion (RIMM) and Motorola Mobility (MMI) continue to struggle in the tablet market.
A surge in buyback activity should help boost earnings per share just as more economic headwinds are expected.
If the economy fails to deliver higher earnings per share in the fourth quarter, companies may generate it themselves by using surplus cash on their balance sheets to buy back shares.
That's the message in the latest report on corporate stock buyback activity by Standard & Poor's. In the third quarter, buybacks totaled $118 billion, nearly 50% above year-earlier levels. But the big news, says Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P, is that companies are buying back more shares than they need in order to cover the dilutive impact of issuing options to employees.

This emerging market play is outpacing its parent company.
By Louis Navellier, Editor, Blue Chip Growth
Brazil-based Companhia De Bebidas Das Americas (ABV), more commonly known as AmBev, is Latin America's biggest brewer. The company also is majority-owned by the No. 1 American brewer, Anheuser-Busch (BUD), which truly is the "king of beers" after the European leader InBev took it over. So with AmBev, you invest in the higher-growth subsidiary of the largest brewing company in the world.
Since AmBev is growing faster than InBev, ABV shares trade at higher valuation multiples (7.1 price/book, 6.8 price/sales) than the parent (2.5 price/book, 2.4 price/sales). This has allowed for an interesting accounting anomaly where InBev sports a market cap (as of the time of this writing) of $94.09 billion, while AmBev has a market cap of $112.27 billion -- in the alchemy of finance, the subsidiary is worth more than its majority shareholder.

The discount retailer has caught the attention of bargain-oriented shoppers and investors alike.
With the economy weak, Dollar General (DG) has potential to benefit from increased sales as people look for bargains.
Based in Tennessee, the company operates 8,414 stores in 35 states selling housewares at low prices; it has annual revenue of $13.7 billion.
The stock came public in late 2009 trading at $22 and has climbed steadily the past two years.
JPMorgan lost a case Tuesday that opens the door for a greater number of aggrieved investors to sue banks.
Investors in financial stocks have a new reason to be nervous: On Tuesday, New York's highest court made it easier for disgruntled investors to sue banks and Wall Street firms. As a result, JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC) and Goldman Sachs (GS) -- among the many other possible targets of investors -- may face many new lawsuits in the coming months.
Depending on how many new cases are filed and their cumulative stakes, they might add up to real money, even for the largest banks. The financial meltdown, after all, created huge numbers of angry investors.
After a recession, several recalls, an earthquake and a tsunami, the Japanese auto giant wants its No. 1 spot back.
Toyota (TM) has had a rough few years. First the financial crisis and resulting recessions brutalized the automaking industry and prompted Toyota to post its first-ever loss in 2008. Then fears of "unintended acceleration" led to the recall of 9 million Toyotas in early 2010. Most recently, in early 2011, Toyota production was thrown into disarray by the earthquake and tsunami that affected businesses in Japan.
But investors and fans of the Prius and Camry should take heart: Toyota is revved up and ready for a comeback in 2012. And if you buy the pitch Toyota is selling, the Japanese company will return to its perch as the world's No. 1 automaker.
Deal or not, the two will continue to be the industry's leaders and long-term attractive plays.
This is a case of No. 2 trying to gobble up No. 1. It won't happen -- not yet, anyway.
The prevailing sentiment on Wall Street is that Vulcan Materials (VMC) will reject the unsolicited $4.8 billion buyout offer of Martin Marietta Materials (MLM). Vulcan, the largest U.S. producer of gravel and sand, has to decide in a few days whether or not to embrace the all-stock hostile bid by Martin Marietta, the second largest maker of construction aggregates. This may well be a protracted battle as Vulcan is expected to ask Marietta to back off, unless it raise the ante.
The grocery chain raises its full-year guidance after delivering a strong fiscal third quarter.
Management raised its guidance for the remainder of the year off the strong quarter, prompting analysts to revise estimates higher and sending the stock to a Zacks No. 2 rank ("buy"). As it generates strong free cash flow, management has been rewarding shareholders through stock buybacks and dividend hikes. It currently yields 1.9%.
Everyone seems to love the stock at this price. That's a problem.

There's never a shortage of Apple (AAPL) bulls. The world's most valuable tech company is percolating globally and IS cheap by most historical measuring sticks.
There isn't a lot of suspense here. A whopping 50 of the 55 analysts following the company have the stock rated as a buy or strong buy. Does that worry you? It certainly concerns me.

The end of Obama= the end of the Party
by Socraticsilence, Sat Mar 15, 2008 at 04:39:51 PM EDT
I think that the majority of Hillary supporters on here are missing something very critical here, this is not the thing that you want to finish Barak Obama! If Obama loses because he has less democratic delegates-- that's cool African Americans, and the youth vote for the most part will accept that; if he loses ue to superdleegates--that's less cool most African Americans might sit out, and the youth vote is gone; if he loses due to Wright-- its over, the grand coalition dies.
What I mean is that if this is it for Obama, then we're done because there is no way Hillary is going to win after African-Americans declare a "blackout" and that's what's going to happen if the first viable African-American canidate for President is destoyed due to his memebership in a mainstream African American church (and it is mainstream, this is not the NOI, this is the church of Oprah and Tiger and Jordan, this is the church of the most accepted African Americans in this country). It is going to be, forgive my frankness, a slap in the fucking face, a blinking sign saying "Negroes you can vote for us, but you can't lead us!" So go on and cheer my friends, laugh it up as the Democratic party throws its most loyal voters under the bus, assume if you want that they'll still vote for you, and then act totally shocked when Mckinnney breaks 5% in IL, NY, and NJ, act dismayed when we lose WI, MO, and PA: all states where the party is behind until the late returns in the Urban precincts come in-- only this time, this time we'll wait and we'll say "just hold on", and nothing will come.
I can't really think of an analogy, that get's across what Democrats on this site are doing but I have one that is close-- this is like the GOP throwing Bush under the Bus due to his being a born-again christian; its that short-sighted and stupid. I beg you, I beg you my fellow Americans, my fellow Democrats, realize what you're doing, please understand that we are poised at the brink; situated on the edge of a precipice, not unlike where we were in 1964, and that our actions in the following weeks and months could lose us the black vote for a generation (ironiucally, at this point last year it was the FOP that was prepared to become a permanent minority party by writing off Hispanics) only this time there is no corresponding group we gain by doing the right thing, this time we appear ready to choose fear and ignorance and in doing so consign ourselves to the fate of the Whigs, the Jeffersonians, and the Wobblies.
[ As an aside this underlines one of the fundamental failures of the 2 party system-- its reliance on non-homogenous voting coalitions-- in a parlimentary system, AAs, Fundies, the Left, Moderates, Civil Libertarians, Neocons, Feminists, and the Free marketeers would be reperesented by a panalopy of parties, coming together when their shared interests demanded it, as opposed to being grouped in 2 camps where the inherent contradictions are either ignored, or suppressed in order to achieve some vague "goals" that kind of sort make them happy.]

2.81/5 rDev -19.3%
Cork and caged 750ml bottle: poured into three 'La Chouffe' stemmed tulips on 27 Aug 2013 at my son-in-laws.
Looked fine in the glasses, the third one having a darker golden hue than the clear first two glasses: the sediment making the final glass meatier and richer in everything. Good white heads on all three glasses, none however stayed around for any great length of time.
Yeasty, spicy, with orangey notes in the nose and taste: this promised so much but fell away as a metallic feel took over the taste. I usually enjoy my Tripe'ls, but this was a poor example and I struggled to finish my two glasses (my son-in-law not wanting more than one glass).
The glass with the sediment was better, having more flavour and character, but it still had that annoying metallic note within it's taste.
Overall a bit of a let down for a Tripel.

A big-ass 750ml corked bottle with a BB of Dec 2013. Bought quite a while ago from Tesco and stored in my garage. As with it's sister beer (the wheat), I find the grey labelling rather unexciting. Tesco should really do something about that!
Poured (repeatedly) into a Duvel tulip. A rich golden hue with faint haze and plentiful carbonation. Produces a vast head of pillowy white foam with superb retention; this slowly reduces to a thick surface layer. Some translucent floaties towards the end. Aroma of sweet, fruity yeast esters with hints of clove, phenolics, mild spice, faint citrus oil and a twinge of candy sugar. A warming whiff of booze lurks in the background. Not bad.
Tastes of golden malt with a fruity Belgian yeast character and a dry finish. Notes of fruity yeast esters, clove, phenolics, a hint of spice, earthy yeast, weak green apples and faint stewed hops. Slightly sweet, with a subtle whiff of alcohol in the background. A mild, dry bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, spicy, tingly and dry, with lovely carbonation and fantastic body. Rather astringent, with an aftertaste of fruity yeast notes.
A solid effort and a tasty beer. For the price I can't really fault this - the ABV is lower than your typical tripel but all the right characteristics are there. Looks nice; fruity yeast in the aroma/flavour and a spicy, boozy quality that gives it depth. A good drinking beer, and well worth sampling. Pick one up when it's on offer.

3.15/5 rDev -9.5%
Orange amber colour with a bubbly, thumb sized white head that halves in size after a few seconds the stays for a good while after that.
Orange and citrus notes hit you straight away but these become more pronounced after the beer is left for a bit to allow it to open up a little. There is some grain and alcohol apparent along with a almond like aroma. There is some yeast and hops towards the end.
Bubbly and spicy on the taste buds with a few other fruity aromas blended in as well. The flavour is a nice one but the taste of grain was a little strong for my liking and there was too much alcohol towards the end.
Medium, spicy and slightly creamy on the palate, this one has a nice bubbly feel to in with rather strong carbonation.
This beer starts really well and was very enjoyable for the first half although I felt that the taste of grain and alcohol became more pronounced towards the end of the beer and gradually became overpowering.

Bit of a surpise this. Expected little but this really shows quite well. Served in a Chimay goblet.
Golden to almost orangy colour with a fairly thick drift of dense head which is constantly being replenished by a mixed of fine lines of straight beading and manylarge northward shooting bubbles . Spicy nose with a taste remiscent of hot crossed buns, this beer is sptrizty and bordering on the carbonic. A bit morish on the tongue too.
Feels more lethal that the advertised 6.5% ABV on the bottle.

Participants can join the program for one, two or all three months.
Helping with Middle East Crisis Areas
Since its beginnings in March 2011, the Syrian conflict has claimed the lives of thousands of innocent civilians and of militants. More than 3 million people have been displaced, of whom 1.1 million people by March 2013 have become refugees in neighboring countries, and more than 2 million people have been internally displaced. As the situation has deteriorated month after month, the focus has shifted towards saving people's lives by providing them with food, health, and shelter. -To learn more click here.
Certainly the largest problem in Jordan at the moment has to do with the migration of Syrian Refugees into the country. With the ongoing Syrian Crisis, the flow of refugees into Jordan continues to increase exponentially. The Government of Jordan estimates there are now over 600.000 Syrians in the country of which over half are children. Other sources are estimating that the total number of Syrians who entered Jordan since the beginning of 2012 exceeds one million. To learn more about this crisis, and what you can do to help, click here.
The Syrian crisis worsens, and more refugees flow into Lebanon. As of March 9, 2013 the Lebanese government estimates there are over 1,000,000 Syrian refugees in Lebanon. The need to help these families is increasing exponentially. Middle East Fellowship recognizes the excellent work of "The Heart for Lebanon", and local and international partners working together all over Lebanon to meet the various needs of these families who have fled their country with minimal belongings. Because of their excellent work MEF has chosen to collect funds and pass them on to this worthwhile ministry.To learn more about this crisis, and what you can do to help, click here.

How to cope with duplicate content ?
How to deal with duplicate text?
I am creating a Multicity directory of business places in wordpress.
I am curious about duplication of text in posts.
A company Red chilli Sauce has multiple branch offices in multiple cities.
City1 = Two offices
City2 = Four offices
City3 = 1 office
In my scenario, I am creating each office as a seperate post because every office has different Owner, Google Map, Address, Contact No, Facebook Page etc.
Some information about the company will remain same for all the posts. eg:
What is Red chilli Sauce ?

This is the type of situation where duplication is inevitable unless, you create a separate article/page for the company details and add a read more link to each city's page for further information about that company. If you concern is mainly SEO then I would suggest not indexing the sub city 's and only index the head office.
Personally, I'd go with the first option and create a new page to hold the duplicate details and add a link.

Will Arizona trigger even worse federal immigration laws?
During interviews with civil and immigrant rights advocates about the complicated dynamics around immigration, several expressed concern that Arizona won't be the ultimate game changer. Instead, they worried that it could result in the creation of an even worse federal immigration system. And President Barack Obama, who has been accused of not doing enough to push ahead with federal immigration reform since he came into office, came under renewed fire last week, when he told reporters that "may not be an appetite" in Congress to deal with immigration, after a tough legislative year.
At the time, Obama had already denounced the Arizona bill as "misguided" and outlined a series of steps that he believes needs to happen to bring millions of undocumented residents out of the shadows.
"We are a nation of immigrants," Obama said. "But we are also a nation of laws. The truth is that 11 or 12 million folks, we're gonna have to make them take responsibility for what they did. And the way to do that is to make them register, make them pay a fine, make them learn English, make them take responsibility for the fact that they broke the law."
But when the president praised as "an important first step" an April 29 framework for reform that Sen. Charles Schumer and a handful of other Democratic senators put together within a week of SB 1070's passage, civil rights advocates voiced concerns.
The Democratic senators proposal includes efforts to enhance border security and create fraud-resistant social security cards. But some immigrant advocates fear such steps will lead to a less democratic society, without addressing the underpinning causes of undocumented immigration such as international trade agreements and the appetite of U.S. employers for cheap, but legally unprotected and easily disposable, migrant workers.
Latino advocate Robert Lovato, who co-founded presente.org and led the successful "Basta Dobbs!" campaign, isn't convinced that SB 1070 will be the ultimate game changer.
"SB 1070 gives a national platform to the kind of sinister policies that extremist hate groups like FAIR and the Minute Men have been pushing for some time in Arizona," he warned. "Those policies that have been in effect at the border are now going statewide and perhaps nationally."
"The Obama administration has expressed brief and tepid concerns but has not done anything to demolish the legal foundation on which these racist policies are built," Lovato continued.
Lovato points to the Bush administration's flawed Section 287(g) program, which authorizes local and state law enforcement officials to be enforcers of federal immigration law, and has led to serious civil rights abuses and public safety concerns.
'Now Obama and the Democrats are going to try and pin the tail of failure for federal immigration reform on the Republicans, " Lovato claimed, criticizing, amongst other things, the Democrats' national I.D. card program proposal.
Lovato believes the immigrant rights community and Latinos will rise to the occasion and face "unprecedented sinister hate."
But he is less confident in spineless Democratic officials.
'Immigration is a thorny issue, especially for spineless Democrats," Lovato said. "That Mayor Gavin Newsom would waffle and water down boycott attempts is no surprise."
Lovato recalled how national Latino organizations begged and pleaded with Newsom not to require local probation officers to refer youth to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) before they had their day in court, a policy Newsom ordered in July 2008, when he was running for governor.
Lovato said Newsom's subsequent failure to respond to the community and their concerns "reflects an utter lack of leadership."
Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union is urging senators to press Department of Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano to terminate the 287(g) programs, and to make sure that lawmakers don't acquiesce on civil liberties and privacy concerns in their rush to respond to demands for comprehensive immigration reform.
ACLU legislative counsel Joanne Lin told the Guardian that while Northern California does not have any official 287(g) agreements in place, Newsom's flawed juvenile immigrant policy is part of a bigger and equally worrisome trend.
"The city's sanctuary ordinance collapses criminal justice and the law enforcement system into one process," Lin said. "And if we look at the federal Secure Communities Initiative that is now in over 100 jails, primarily those in southwest border districts, everyone is fingerprinted and run through a DHS and FBI database. It's basically a way for DHS to i.d. everyone who is booked, whether they are here lawfully or their charges as are subsequently dropped or dismissed, and to fast track deportation."
so, I see Village Voice media is funding the ACLU challenge to this racist law. And yet, you're trying to loot VVM. So question to the Bay Guardian- whats' more important? principles or dollars?
If that race-baiting Lavato is aginst it, I strongly support it. We should enforce our laws as well as Mexico does and deport the invaders who are stealing our nation and creating a third world cesspool here. VIVA LA MIGRA!
I will not spend money in Arizona or in any business headquartered in Arizona. American citizens do not have to show their "papers," like they did in the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany and South Africa. This law creates a police state. Who in their right mind would do business or vacation in a state where you might be singled out and possibly arrested because you look foreign? What if you are white, but have a tan? This law makes Arizona unstable and unsafe. Arizona is in the gutter now, and they will fall even further behind.
Obama needs to step up and do his job. He needs to pass immigration reform, as this was one of the issues that got him elected. Of course, I don't trust him to fix anything. He's all talk.
Morgan Hill students sent home over American flag clothing
Associated Press
Posted: 05/06/2010 08:06:07 AM PDT
Updated: 05/06/2010 08:22:46 AM PDT
MORGAN HILL — The parents of five Morgan Hill high school students who were sent home after showing up in clothing emblazoned with American flags on Cinco de Mayo say the school's decision was "un-American."
The boys say the assistant principal of Live Oak High School told them on Wednesday to take off their shirts or turn them inside out because they were offending some Hispanic students and school officials worried they could spark a fight.
The boys' shorts and shoes also had American flags.
The boys say when they refused, they were sent home.
Austin Carvalho, one of the boys, said they were not trying to start trouble. At least two of the boys are part Mexican.
Nick Boden, the
school's principal, declined comment. But Jay Totter, a spokesman for the district, said district officials disagreed with the decision.

As a result, the Federation hopes that young people will have a positive attitude towards education for a career within the industry.
Secondly, the Federation aims to encourage students to choose a technology related study path and ultimately a profession in the technology industry.
The Federation:
- Provides information on professions and related study paths for teachers and young people. See e.g. www.MyTech.fi, www.openet.fi
- Promotes collaboration between companies, schools and universities and provides material and methods to support this.

UPDATED: A man was air lifted to hosital following a serious road accident in Grays
Updated 5:52pm Monday 27th January 2014 in News By Matt Abbott, Chief Reporter
AN INVESTIGATION has been launched into the cause of a serious crash in Grays which has left a man seriously ill in hospital.
The crash happened when a motorcyclist lost control while travelling along the A126 Eastern Way shortly after 1pm and struck a lamp post near its junction with Bankfoot.
The rider, 43, was airlifted to Royal London Hospital after sustaining head and chest injuries. He condition has been reduced to stable after his injuries were initially thought to be life-threatening.
The road was closed until 5.30pm whilse police investigated the scene.
The air ambulance left around 2.20pm with the man on board. He was treated at the scene for almost an hour.
The air ambulance took the man to Royal London Hospital around 2.20pm.
Eyewitnesses crowded the scene when the air ambulance arrived.
One woman said: "I only live round the corner and didn't know anything was going on until I heard the helicopter landing. I reckon they were here for about an hour. I really hope the person involved will be ok."
A man at the scene added: "The paramedics were treating the person for a very long time before he went off in the air ambulance. I didn't see what happened, but came out when I heard the helicopter. It looked very serious."
A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance said: "We were called to the aid of a man, believed to be in his 40s, who had suffered life-threatening head and chest injuries.
"He was treated on scene and was sedated before being airlifted to the Royal London Hospital, where upon arrival he was believed to be in a critical condition."
Any witnesses to the crash should contact Essex Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 01245 240590 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

While the Patriarchal address has much to commend it, the leveling of ideas it exhibits is troubling. The essay below was originally written as a comment, but I posting it here for comment and analysis. Frankly, the ideas in this speech are muddled. It sounds like it an American wrote it who has only a cursory understanding of the history of ideas. For instance, while the examples citing Ghandi and King are true, it is overlooked that the reason for Ghandi's success was that the English, despite their empire building in India, still responded to Ghandi's appeals that were shaped by and heard through the Christian moral tradition. The same holds true for King. He was successful because by drawing on the morality of the Christian tradition, particularly the inherent value of the individual, he awakened the conscience of nation shaped by that tradition. Ghandi's and King's success however does not translate into a universal appeal for non-violence, simply because non-violence … [Read more...]

In their Feb. 2 Readers' Forum letter, Nuclear energy can lead to economic opportunities, former EPA administrator Christine Todd Whitman and Homestead Mayor Steve Bateman missed another economic upside to nuclear power: Nothing makes new jobs like a nuclear accident. As Fukushima, Japan, continues its uncontrolled radiation release, the prefecture has become a "hot" travel destination for scientists and curious visitors who roam the streets with Geiger counters, posting to their Facebook pages the latest radioactive cesium levels detected in sidewalk cracks.
New jobs abound for laborers who scrape and bag the radioactive topsoil in school playgrounds. Hotels are filled with government scientists and nuclear technicians puzzling over failed nuclear containment.
In my recent tour of the Turkey Point nuclear facility, I saw excellent protection against windstorms but less-than-convincing protection from storm-driven seas (by the way, Hurricane Andrew's peak surge missed Turkey Point.
Last time I checked, energy conservation makes more jobs per dollar than nuclear power, and more watts per dollar than nuclear power. Ditto for solar. So what's this talk about job creation from nuclear-power generation upwind of two million people, between two national parks, in a hurricane-scoured coastal wetland slated to be inundated by sea-level rise?

Throb – anatomical heart gifts for Valentine's Day
Very excited to share more information about the anatomical heart pop up in London for Valentine's Day. Indicative of the way Eat Your Heart out has become a cultural leader, the shop is 60% gifts and art 40% cakes and chocolate treats. It's being run under the guise of Anatomical Snuff Box, a venture from myself and Emily Evans promoting the education of anatomy using cultural channels. You can see all of the gifts here (more being added daily). The wonderful Kraken Rum are also supporting the event so expect lots of free rum shots and rum soaked cakes – if you have not tried this amazing drink yet here is your chance.
So if I had to pick my predicted 'top sellers' it would be the amazing crochet hearts from Kate Jenkins who is an INCREDIBLE textile artist. I have been a fan of hers for years so it's really humbling she know thinks enough of 'Miss Cakehead' to create some bespoke pieces for our shop. Kate has also produced a range of tea towels and cards featuring the pieces so her work is affordable for all.
There's also this cocktail sharer from Bespoke Barware which I predict will be a top seller for them all year round. I will most certainly be buying one for starters!
Truth is there are so many amazing anatomical heart offerings but I don't have time to share them all right now, but whatever your taste there is sure to be something here for you… All the details you need to know are below:
