About Windham
The former owner of Bushmaster came out of retirement to put his employees and machines together again to make Windham Weaponry.
New Windham Weaponry and Patriot Ordnance Factory Partnership
Windham Weaponry of Windham, Maine and Patriot Ordnance Factory of Phoenix, Arizona have entered a partnership to produce .308's, P-415/416 and carbon fiber rifles. Windham Weaponry CEO Richard Dyke, Patriot Ordnance Factory CEO Frank DeSomma, and JC Machine and Motorsports LLC CEO Curt Stewart have also begun cooperation on several joint venture projects to be announced in the near future.
The three companies have jointly occupied a new 12,000 square foot production facility in Phoenix. The new facility will produce rifles and firearms parts, and serve as a design and development center for new firearms products from both Windham Weaponry and Patriot Ordnance Factory.
"We are pleased to open this new facility together, and happy that Patriot Ordnance Factory and Windham Weaponry can grow together," stated Patriot Ordnance Factory CEO Frank DeSomma.
"This new facility will bring new employment and growth to Phoenix area industry," stated Windham Weaponry CEO Richard Dyke.
The new projects for Windham Weaponry are already in the initial phases of development with design assistance from Frank DeSomma of Patriot Ordnance Factory. These projects are slated to be officially announced later this year.

"Tradecraft" Infiltrates the Language
June 20, 2014By Neal Whitman
Tradecraft, which has been spy jargon since at least the 1960s, has been making its way into more mainstream consciousness recently, as we hear about operations like the search for Osama bin Laden, or about Edward Snowden's training as a spy. It's a good example of how words with seemingly transparent meanings can settle into semantic idiosyncrasy through historical circumstance. Continue reading...

History in the Toolbox: The Vocabulary of Electrical Units

A Quotation Hunter Finds Serenity
May 8, 2014
Six years ago, Fred Shapiro, editor of the Yale Book of Quotations, stirred up some controversy over the origins of the famous Serenity Prayer: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." Shapiro cast doubt on the popular attribution of the saying to the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr. But now Shapiro has gained some serenity of his own by concluding that Niebuhr really did originate the prayer. Continue reading...

A "Final Four" of March Madness Lingo
March 31, 2014By Ben Zimmer
With the teams competing in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament whittled down to the Final Four, "March Madness" is coming to a close.

Chapter 2,Example 8 per the solutions, shows that the personal allowance as 5,440 pounds instead of the 9,440 pounds.Why is the personal allowance reduced and what rules and procedures apply to reducing the personal allowance?
umar says
if the net income exceeds from 100,000 then PA will be reduced by applying the following formula.
less 1/2(ANI-100,000) —-
but if net income exceeds from 118880 then PA will be nill.
hope above is for your satisfation.
umar says
Those question which you provided us to solve, how can i cross check the answer with you?
Shatha AlGh says
One of my friends has just confused me regarding to the ANI ..
is ANI and Adjusted Personal allowance not the same?
if not whats the different and when do we use it again?
kamran7426 says
Please add the remaining lectures for f6 as its already end of april.
fabiangrey says
In example 12, why do we deduct the PA adjusted amount from £9,440 and not £10,500 as he was born in 1940? Also, does the £9,440 minimum only apply to people born before 1948?
Keisha says
review notes above example10 , the PA of 10500 was applied, but since the ANI was above 26100 , line 4 states that the higher PA is restricted by the formula (1/2(106000-26100)) , but it is reduced to a minimum of 9440 (shown in W1 of example 12) and also stated in the notes.
furthermore, as stated in the notes if the ANI is to also exceed 100,000 , there will be a further reduction, shown in the 2nd part of W1. so using the PA of 9440 it is reduced by (1/2(106000-100000))
this is what i gathered from the notes. hope this helps , and most importantly , correct.

You've probably seen it any time you're walking near or —a house on 43rd Street whose colorful front yard is filled with peculiar lines and shapes drawn out in large balls cylinders.
Believe it or not, these lines of bowling balls and pins represented a practical solution to a vexing problem for one Kingfield gardener.
Several years ago, this garden's owner told Patch, many children and dogs would come over to her house to play in her yard. The only problem was, of course, the yard—small children and pets often care more about fun than the well-being of the daffodils. Looking for a fun-looking way to keep children from stepping on the flowers and to make the dogs jump over the beds, she hit upon bowling balls.
Asking around, she found several local bowling alleys willing to let her have their old balls and pins. While her garden looks pretty complete, she still gets balls sent to her regularly, which she uses to replace any cracked or sun-damaged ones.

On Friday night's episode of Real Time, host Bill Maher closed his "New Rules" segment with rant ripping into "undecided voters."
"If you're one of the 5 percent of American voters who are still undecided on who to vote for, it's okay to admit you just don't really give a shit," Maher began. "Seriously, if you still can't figure out who you like more –Mitt Romney or Barrack Obama– stay home… because you probably couldn't find your polling place anyway. I mean, what more information does someone need to make this choice? Obama has been President for nearly four years. And Mitt Romney has been running for President since 1971, when his space egg incubated and he burst out of an astronaut's chest."
But Maher's criticism wasn't merely for the "undecideds," but for notion that mainstream media outlets give their opinions weight.
"Can we please stop treating them like they're more noble and discerning than the rest of us? …[Undecided voters are] put on a pedestal by the media, as if they're Hamlet in a think tank, searching out every last bit of information and high-minded arbiters pouring over policy positions and matching them against their own philosophies. Please! They mostly fall into a category political scientists call 'low-information voters' –otherwise known as 'dipshits.'"

a great summer setting
This was the perfect place for a week away at the beach with the family. Nice accommodations, beautiful views, peaceful setting and gracious hosts. We appreciated the extra touches like the hammock, the grill, the bikes, the kayaks & paddle boards, the fire pit, and other thoughtful amenities. The nearby parks, bike trails, nature reserve, and ice cream place are a bonus. Finally, when the rest of the Great Lakes were very cold this summer, the water was warm and swimmable! We felt like the rental was a very good value and would like to return next year.
Nature's (Birder's) Paradise
The house is located in a very quiet & secluded location, with a great view of the lake (no lake access). It was big and well maintained (clean). There is a wildlife preserve nearby with many birds and other animals to watch. I paid for everything online so access to the home was quick & painless. I had a few questions during the stay & the owner was very easy to get in touch with.
Wonderful Vacation Home
This cottage was a wonderful place to spend Christmas with our family. We had to be in Midland, MI for our daughter's wedding on the 28th of December and this cottage in Bay City worked out wonderfully! We had 8 people there and were very comfortable. It was very clean and the living space made it easy to stretch out for all of us (especially in front of the large fireplace!). The kids had a great time "shoe-skating" out on the frozen bay and it was a certain plus to be only 10 minutes away from the Bay City Mall! Bob (the owner) was a dream to work with and seemed to enjoy having us use the place as much as we enjoyed being there. I would highly recommend this rental.

why the hell doesn't Twisted Treeline have Draft?
I don't care if you don't think it's a good map, I play it and a bunch of people I know play it. Why is Riot so Mapist (YES THAT MEANS LIKE RACIST) Against it??
6 Bans is all you need to make 3v3 balanced and fun and you won't even give us that.
It's a god **** conspiracy, so in the words of the Garen the Great. FOR GREAT JUSTICE
... and give us Twisted Treeline Draft.
Lol someone who cares about TT
What's Twisted Treeline?
I really don't know why Riot decided to have TT be the only map without normal draft...when it's the one thing TT players have been asking for above all else.
I dont play TT but it still needs this.
thank you
Riot cares more bout the general audience (where the money is).
TT draft would incorporate some balance into the TT map. Not the only thing it needs but it would certainly be a place to start. Given how quickly they introduced it to Dominion it shouldn't really be that hard an option to put in.
Rammus: OK!

Dear Logan,
It was one year ago that you became my world. Anything and everything I thought I knew about myself was wrong. I always knew something was missing I just didn't know it was you.
As I take a walk down memory lane I keep thinking to myself, wow I should have taken stock in Kleenex because I can not stop crying. Do not worry sweet boy they are not sad tears, in fact the are the happiest tears that I've ever cried. You came into your dad and I's life at the right time. We were ready for you, we knew you were meant to be with us but we didn't know how much you would change the thing we called life.
As we have taught you how to crawl, sit up, eat real food, say mama, and of course dada, you have taught us so much more. I've learned how to relax and not take myself so seriously because even at my worst you still love me. You've taught me to be patient and what my priorities truly are…you!
The last 365 days have been filled with so many happy moments. I remember bringing you home after a 11 day stay at the NICU and laying you on the couch, I thought to myself…what do I do now. You were so small and you needed me for everything. Some days it was hard, mama was struggling with post pardum and you were struggling with acid reflux in the beginning BUT just like everything we both fought and figured it out together.
When you were just three weeks old you and I ventured out into the real world. It took me 5 minutes and 2 phone calls to get your car seat unlocked (were much better now ;-) ). We met your new friends and you slept the whole time. Your first trip was to Grandma and grandpa's during Easter. You loved to be outside and you got to meet Champ the horse, there was also a large easter basket filled with New York Yankee clothes. You started Daycare and made everyone fall in love with you, no really you did…everyone. We celebrated Mothers Day – You made me my first card, it is the most beautiful thing I've ever gotten. And during memorial weekend we all went to California. You rode like a champ. There were so many new things you experienced including sleeping in a hotel room, taking an elevator, eating in a restaurant and looking at the Pacific Ocean. June, July and August were very hot – you go to wear comfy basketball shorts everywhere. Dad went to Comic Con in July which meant FOUR days just you an I. You were so chatty, especially through the Heat playoff game – you kept saying uh-oh uh-oh. September was the month you experienced your first vacation away from mom and dad…I cried giving you to Grandma and Grandpa. You did great and eventually so did Dad and I.
Through the holidays you REALLY experienced everything. In October we went to a Halloween Party, we celebrated mine and your dad's birthday, you ate new foods and found out mom is obsessed with the house smelling like pumpkin spice. November was filled with lots of friends and family. You spent time with your Aunt Claudia (you love her and she loves you), we went Christmas shopping, you ate some Turkey and played with Sky and Memphis. December was meant for families – we took advantage. We saw Christmas Lights, ate cookies (don't tell dad), watched too much Hallmark channel, wrapped presents (you were quite the helper), trimmed the tree, took Christmas card pictures and Santa came.
Once the calendar turned to 2014 I knew I would never have my little baby again, but what I do have it pretty amazing. Everything you have accomplished, every mumble, game, shriek and mama that comes out of you makes me so proud. You have both of our hearts. Even though dad won't admit it… you kind of have him (and your grandparents) around your little finger.
My heart breaks when I am not around you. You have made so many leaps and bounds in your first year. I am looking forward to the next million, because kid… Your not getting rid of me ;-)
Love you,
Without further ado – A MASSIVE photo overload.

The sound only matters because the music is strong. Leslie Pintchik is an intelligent, tasteful pianist who has carefully configured a complete, varied, nuanced album statement. She starts with her own tight trio (bassist/husband Scott Hardy, drummer Mark Dodge), and adds either percussionist Satoshi Takeishi (five tracks) or Steve Wilson (four). Wilson has become the alto/soprano counterpart of tenor saxophonist Chris Potter, in that he is a sideman who seems to be everywhere. No wonder. Like Potter, he has a gift for complementing the projects of others. Wilson's signature luminous tone is perfect for Pintchik's pensive ballad, "Private Moment."
Pintchik's compositions (such as "Not So Fast," "Over Easy") are clever in the best sense, subtly surprising because of their shifts and displacements. But her best attributes are her sensitivity with ballads and her creative reimagining of standards, strengths that often coincide. She even turns "Happy Days Are Here Again" into a ballad, with new dark harmonies. It is the saddest version of the song since Tierney Sutton's. Leonard Bernstein's "Somewhere" gets its emotional resonance from the way Pintchik parts with it so gradually, even reluctantly.

Centrally located. Room was excellent. Service was excellent. They even called us shortly after we checked in to see if everything was ok.
We would have liked an armchair to lounge around it. There was a computer desk and office chair which was great but the only other chair was a wooden one that was not that comfortable to sit on. We had to use the bed to relax on.There was no bacon at breakfast which was my biggest disappointment. We had to go out for the rest of our meals. The Govenor's Inn was the best restaurant in town!!

It was easy to find-desk was helpful and friendly.Room was clean and fresh. A nice experience-would definitely stay there again if we ever have a reason to be in Presque Isle.
At one point smelled faint cigarette smoke in the hall way-hate that!

A beginner with some questions
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 02-15-2006 - 11:58pm
I would like to learn how to quilt. I do not know the first thing about quilting or sewing, so I really need to learn the basics. Would my best bet be to learn from the internet or buy a book or two? Also, do you sew by hand, sewing machine or both?
My first project I thought could be a quilt for my son or a quilt for our new baby. So I thought that it would be a perfect time to start. Can someone guide me in the right direction on where to start?
Thanks :)
|Thu, 02-16-2006 - 10:51am
Welcome, Jennifer, to Stitcher's Niche.
I will try to answer your questions from the point of view of a non-quilter (I have pieced, or begun to piece, many tops but never gotten to the point of basting, quilting, binding and finishing one off. I learned to piece by taking classes offered by a quilter when I lived in Saudi Arabia. Since I really didn't' SEW before I started these classes, I don't consider my first few tops really worthy of finishing, but someday...). We have lots of quilters as regulars here who am am sure can chime in with their recommendations for books, web sites or even kinds of classes. But here is my two cents for what it is worth...
There are lots of good books out there, and lots of internet sites, although I personally think that, if you can find a quilting shop, a quilters' guild, or a quilting class at a community college near you, your best bet is to take lessons! There is something so reassuring about having a teacher there to answer questions and help you through the rough spots. Most beginner classes will be sampler quilts, showing different patterns and techniques and you will end up with a wall hanging or a small lap quilt. But there may be a cot-quilt or baby quilt class offered so check around...
You asked if it's done by hand or machine. Either/both is AOK. Hand piecing and quilting is portable (you can carry your blocks with you and piece while you are waiting in doctor's offices, etc.) but machine piecing and quilting is faster (instant gratification, one of my quilting friends calls it) and solitary. If you have a good machine, piecing is faster but you may not want to start right in with machine quilting UNLESS your machine is set up as a quilting machine. Tieing a quilt is often how people approach a first quilt, and so long as the ties aren't so long that they get hold of the baby (or vice versa) tying is perfectly acceptable. Nice thing about tying, besides the fact that it is faster, is you can always go back later and either hand or machine quilt... Hand quilting or tying could be a social thing --- if you end up in a class offered by a quilt shop or guild, the members of the guild might actually help in the quilting (sort of like an old-fashioned quilting bee!). Also, you could consider piecing your quilt and paying someone else to quilt it for you (that isn't uncommon and there are ads in all the quilting magazines for such services. Also, a local quilt shop might know of someone willing to quilt it for you. MANY of the people I know who "quilt" really only piece and pay someone else to quilt --- even the "professionals" do this!).
In addition to books, there are numerous quilting magazines out there. Check a few out the next time you go grocery shopping (most supermarkets have a craft section in their magazine racks). Look for the ones that label quilts beginning, intermediate and advanced. Often the beginner-level quilts are just what you may be looking for! And all these magazines have a how-to section in the back...
Now, before you start, you need a few basic tools: a cutting mat, a good acrylic ruler and a rotary cutter come to mind, as well as quality cotton fabric (or fleece), batting, and quilting threads. Needles will depend on whether you go hand or machine: Hand quilting needles are called "betweens" and differ from regular sewing needles (sharps) or embroidery needles; machine quilting needles need to be sharp and replaced often since they will be going through three layers of fabric... You will also want pins as when you piece, you pin the pieces together while sewing; any kind is fine but glass or metal heads are preferred as they don't melt when you press (and for heaven's sake, if you are machine piecing, keep track of those pins and don't sew over them or you will break a needle or worse!). And an ironing board/surface and a reasonably heavy iron (you don't iron --- move the iron back and forth as that can stretch the fabric; but you do PRESS, place the iron on top of the seams to flatten them to one side or the other or even open... so something small like a travel iron doesn't cut it.), steam is not necessary --- some quilters say use it; others say no...
Pick a pattern. As a beginner, I've seen the easiest pattern described as either a rail fence or a patchwork, as you don't have to deal with bias edges (which stretch) or points (you don't want to start with stars! LOL). http://www.portup.com/~hjbe/quilt/rail.html shows a rail fence; patchwork can range from simple (just sew together squares of farbic in a checkerboard pattern) to more complex --- 4-patch http://quilting.about.com/library/weekly/aa103197.htm and 9-patch http://quilting.about.com/library/0lib/bl0_blocks/bl0_freeblks_9patch.htm are typical!
Let me give you a few links to both books and internet sites, in case you can't find a local quilting shop or school that offers lessons...
Books (This is NOT a recommendation as I have not read any of these books. Check your local library first and see what they may have and certainly to see if the book suits YOU before you go out and buy...):
"Your First Quilt Book (or it should be!)" (Paperback) by Carol Doak
"Quilting for Dummies" by Cheryl Fall (I am a fan of the "XXX for Dummies" series --- I swear by the ones for knitting and crocheting...)
"Machine Quilting Made Easy" by Maurine Noble
"Start Quilting with Alex Anderson: Six Projects for First-Time Quilters, 2nd Edition," Paperback, by Alex Anderson (Alex Anderson is the quilting guru on DIY's craft series --- check out her television programs to see if you like her approach as well).
"Quiltmaking For Beginners: A Stitch-by-Stitch Guide to Hand and Machine Techniques," Paperback, by Lynn G. Kough
"Quilting 101: A beginners guide to quilting," Spiral-bound, by The Editors of Creative Publishing international
"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Quilting Illustrated, Second Edition," Paperback, by Laura Ehrlich
"The Joy of Quilting" by Hanson & Hickey
"The Art of Classic Quiltmaking" by Hargrave & Craig.
"The Quilting Bible" from the Singer Sewing Reference Library series (good photos)
Internet sites (check out about.com as well --- they have a quilting section with lots of tips, but some are broken so you need to check each out):
A downloadable book http://www.how-to-quilt.com/
Online classes http://www.quiltuniversity.com/
Some web sites have tutorials. Here are some, I KNOW our regualrs will have others:
piecing: http://www.ribbonsmyth.com/howtoquilt.htm
basting a quilt/batting/backing: http://www.easymade.com/video_clip8.html
hand quilting: http://www.taunton.com/threads/pages/t00024.asp
machine quilting: http://www.quilt.com/HowTo/MachineQuiltingHowTo.html
tying: http://quilting.about.com/c/ht/00/07/How_Tie_Quilt0962932876.htm
By the way, I didn't guide you to paper piecing, foundation piecing or applique because that seemed a bit much for a first quilt. But if you want to try, plug those terms in a search engine and you will turn up LOADS of pages.
Also, plug in "Quilt Pattern Freebies" or something similar and you will find hundreds of site with free downloadable block patterns! OR you cold buy a book... (or check one out of the library (cheaper! LOL).
Be careful, quilting, like all needlearts, can run into money as fabric becomes an addiction as do patterns and books and tools...
And believe me, this board is NOT a 12-step program to help you get over an addiction. We are enablers, par excellence! LOL
Do come back often, and let us know how you decided to start, what you are making (we LOVE to see photos) and ask any questions that come up as you go...

Technically, not much :-)
Well, there are so-called Longarm Quilting Machines, which are basically sewing machines that have an extra-long arm so that you can squish a big quilt underneath it to quilt it. But they're not really necessary unless you do an awful lot of machine quilting (think business).
Anyhow, according to "Heirloom Machine Quilting" by Harriet Hargrave, here are the points to keep in
|Fri, 02-17-2006 - 10:29am
Can I second Miika's advice?
I started with a Bernette, a really cheap Bernina knock-off I bought in Saudi Arabia. It worked but it made piecing *and* quilting I suspect although I never tried it) VERY hard because it DIDN'T have the fine touch control needed, the needle didn't stop down but did drift a few stitches, and visibility sucked ( couldn't see the needle so machine applique and any complex stitching like around curves or into inset seams was nearly impossible!
Just before I left Saudi, I bought a Bernina Quilter's Edition with the feet, the needle-down option, etc. I didn't know I was leaving when I bought it, so it sat in storage for more than 2 years and I'm still getting used to it but it is head-and-shoulders above that old Bernette! Berninas are pricey and I only bought mine because I could get it MUCH cheaper there than in the US --- but in the US, I think they offer classes with the purchase and all sorts of notions extras as well that I didn't get in Saudi.
Anyway, Bernina isn't the ONLY quilter's machine --- check all the other major brands and if you are buying a machine, please read our "how to choose a machine" tips on the web site FAQ (Primary among which are "test drive it" in the shop BEFORE you buy! Strange as it may seem, different brands of sewing machines do have different feels...) http://members.tripod.com/stitchers_niche-ivil/id2.html

Hi jen-
wow we have a couple things in common ( like a september baby due( i am now at my 11 week 4 days) and I love kitties- we adopted ours from a neighbour due to animal personality conflict ( they had a jack rusel and the two were just too hyper together.)
now to the topic of quilting-
first for a baby quilt -safety first-I personally would use a maschine- just because it can get finer stitches than what I can do by hand ( right now I am using a Pfaff older than me) and logic is still prevailing me to look at a pfaff ( ease of getting to a repairer here in the middle of switzerland) and I like the adaptablity of pfaff. you can get the bells and whistles as you need them. so if quilting is more your thing then you get the special adaptations package for a couple hundred ( inldes the longer arm and specila feet as well as a diskette to programme the machine for the stitches.) Bernina comes with the bells and whistles built in. singer is just too hard to find someone to repair around here- and brother I would have to take back to the major department store that would have to ship it back to japan if it broke down. also because I am a bit less mobile I am learning most of my work by internet, and magazines. in addition it is also an issue of two languages for me. I speak english as my natural language but resources and shops are in german- measurements and costcomparisons are also something to consider if you are in europe. europe is metric quilting by standards are mostly american or old english imperial( inches versus centimeters, fat quaters and yards versus meters.)
lots of fun. Congrats-
Gemma Luscher in switzerland ( you will also find me on the september expecting club. if you're not there I extend an invite wish I could post my siggie but I am on a basic membership here. )
