I'm actually sewing!
Posted August 11, 2014on:
I know, I've been away for a while. Sometimes, life happens! I've been busy with things other than sewing for the past few months. Things are coming together at the house…we still have a lot of projects, but it keeps us busy. I haven't been avoiding the sewing room, but I'd rather be spending time with my new husband than sitting in the sewing room by myself. Anyhow, I've started a lap-ish quilt for my sister-in-law. I was able to take fabric from my stash. I had it set aside for a specific project that I hadn't gotten around to doing. Bubba liked the colors and thought his sister would, too. Then, I had to find a pattern. I didn't want to do anything too complicated, so it wouldn't take a whole year to make, but I didn't want anything that looked too simple, either. I turned to EQ7 and actually designed a one block quilt that looks more fussy than it is. It's an hourglass block on point and turned 2 different ways. My awesome husband hung my design wall for me today – we improvised and hung a curtain rod. I made 2 sleeves in my flannel – 1 for the curtain rod and one for a rod to weight the bottom. I put up one of the blocks, so he could see how the design wall works: And, then I sewed 16 of the half square triangle sets together and 32 2 patch sets before my back started to hurt. Kiki was enjoying "her spot" in the sewing room, too.
Happy New Year!
Posted January 4, 2014on:
Happy New Year! 2013 was not a very good quilting year for me. I spent most of the year working on the "Love Quilt"…a pattern by Tula Pink.
This was the day I finally finished the quilting…it's not easy to quilt a queen-size quilt on a domestic machine.
You should be able to click on this picture to see it larger and see a sample of the quilting.
I think it looks awesome on the bed! It's big enough to tuck the bottom in, and have the pillows covered. The best thing, though, is to hear Bubba say "I love this quilt…it's big and warm and heavy."
I'm happy to report that I've started out 2014 like a house afire! I've already completed a top!! Okay, so it's a baby quilt, but that's beside the point. I believe the baby shower is going to be at the end of January, so I'm on a tight deadline.
I am trying to sew from my stash, so I already had an idea of what fabric I would use, but not a pattern. I had a couple of layer cakes and 3 pieces of small yardage of Pure by Sweetwater that I have been
hoarding saving for several years. As my co-worker is having a baby boy, I thought the colors would be perfect…masculine, not baby-ish, but sweet.
So, I picked about 6 patterns and posed them to Bubba for his opinion. He chose a pattern from Karen Montgomery called "Fresh Vanilla" which I had torn out of a "Quilts and More" magazine from Summer 2009. The pattern is for a quilt that finishes at 64.5″ x 80.5″…which is kind of big for a baby quilt! So, I adapted it to fit my needs.
The original pattern had 5 sets of "bricks", which I cut down to 3 and made the bricks 6.5″ x 8.5″ unfinished, instead of 8.5″ x 20.5″. The ratio of width to height is, obviously, not the same, but I really like the look.
I drew my plan out on graph paper and added numbers up, made a change to my background fabric because I didn't have enough of the directional "word" piece. I put my strips of bricks together with the sashing, and then started joining the strips together with the 28″ of sashing I had calculated and cut…only to realize I needed 28.5″ of sashing in order to not have a wavy, pucker-y quilt. That was at 9:00 last night.
This afternoon, I unsewed and re-sewed, and after a couple of hours, I had a completed top:
A close-up look at the fabrics I used.
So, here's hoping for a completed quilt in a couple of weeks!
Thanks for stopping by!!
It's once again time for the Blogger's Quilt Festival, hosted by Amy's Creative Side.
I'm entering "Christmas Beauty" in the favorite wall hanging category. This little quilt is 12″ by 12″ and was my first foray into New York Beauty blocks. I made it about 4 years ago. I used paper piecing patterns I found online. It was a bit challenging to use some stiffer, sparkly Christmas fabrics in the tiny paper piecing spots, but I love the way this little wall hanging turned out.
Thank you for stopping by!
Kanzashi-inspired Bridal Bouquet

So, in my last post I told y'all that I was going to be making my bridal bouquet. I've got maybe 1/2 of the flowers "pieced" together and thought I would share them with you. I'm using the Kanzashi makers from Clover …in the round petal 2- and 3-inch sizes. I had a bunch of Dupioni Silk in some nice jewel-y colors. A trip to Joann Fabrics netted my some other "fancy" fabrics.
Here is what I've got so far:
Some 2-inch flowers. The centers are different sparkly buttons. My sweet groom has been in charge of bending the flower wire in half and twisting in the buttons for me. I haven't glued them in, yet. That's on the schedule for tonight.
Some 3-inch flowers. I know some of them look a little mal-formed. The great thing is that I will be able to manipulate them so they look better. Also on the schedule tonight is to cut and glue on the backings for the larger flowers.
Thanks for looking!

hence, there hasn't been anything new to read here. And, I feel badly about that for the 1 or 2 people who might stop by. I'm still working on the "Love" quilt. It's 1/2 quilted. I may or may not finish it before we move to the house. Oh, what house, you ask? We're building a house!
Yay! It's supposed to be finished mid-September, which is good because our lease is up October 6, and we had to give a 60-day notice.
This is what the back of the house looked like last week. It pretty much looks the same today because they ran out of bricks. We're still waiting for the sheet rock to be nailed up, too. Once that happens, the inside detail work can be done.
We started packing today – about 10 boxes down, and a whole bunch more to go. We started out with either 50 or 60 boxes, I don't remember. And, I'm guessing we'll need a few more.
Stay tuned, though, for another post in a few days. I'm in the process of making my bouquet for the wedding. Silk Kanzashi-style flowers.
February Finish Fail…March Goal
Posted March 7, 2013on:
Soooooo…I didn't get the Tula Love quilt finished by Valentine's Day. In fact,
It's still under the needle of my machine. I had about 1/4 of one of the 2 blue sections quilted, but didn't like it…so I spent quite a few hours "unsewing".
So, I'm linking up again for March with the "Love" quilt. My understanding boyfriend said, "That's okay. We'll have it for NEXT Valentine's Day." But, he didn't disagree with me when I said, "Maybe I should start my new Christmas quilt now."
Here is a bit of my quilting:
Happy sewing!
February Goal
Posted February 1, 2013on:
It's time to set my goal for February!
I've set a tight goal as I would like to have this finished in time for Valentine's Day.
It is my version of Tula Pink's "LOVE" Quilt. I have to add the 4 big pieces to the "LOVE" section and then quilt and bind it. I'm hoping to get the top finished and the quilt sandwich made and pinned tomorrow…maybe even get the quilting started. This will be the biggest quilt I have ever done on my domestic machine. Wish me luck!
Head over to Sew BittterSweet Designs to check out what other people have as their February goal!

Lismore Castle is a stately home located in the town of Lismore in County Waterford in Ireland, belonging to the Duke of Devonshire. It was largely re-built in the Gothic style during the mid-nineteenth century by William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire.
The castle site was originally occupied by Lismore Abbey, an important monastery and seat of learning established in the early 7th century. It was still an ecclesiastical centre when Henry II, King of England stayed here in 1171, and except for a brief period after 1185 when his son King John of England built a 'castellum' here, it served as the episcopal residence of the local bishop. In 1589, Lismore was leased and later acquired by Sir Walter Raleigh. Raleigh sold the property during his imprisonment for High Treason in 1602 to another infamous colonial adventurer, Richard Boyle, later 1st Earl of Cork.

The Hidalgo County Commissioners Court called for an election Nov. 4 for voters to decide on the proposed new Hidalgo County Hospital District.
State Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa addressed the court Tuesday before the vote to call the election, reminding them that without the proposed hospital district, the county might be responsible for all of its indigent care costs, at a price higher than the proposed hospital district.
Last year, Hidalgo County paid $8 million to the government for indigent health care. The money was then multiplied by a figure so that more money than was paid out came back to help Hidalgo County meet high costs of indigent care.
Hinojosa said creating a health care district for the county is a necessity, and it is also a step toward a greater future for the Valley. He added there has been a lot of publicity about a possible 75 cent per $100 property valuation to support the new district. The hospitals have agreed to cap possible taxes at 25 cents per $100 valuation. To go above that level would take another vote by the citizens of Hidalgo County to approve the tax rate, Hinojosa said.
Hinojosa said hospitals were requesting a starting tax for of 10 cents per $100 property valuation. However, Hinojosa was recommending a starting tax of 9 cents as a compromise. He said that a 7 cent tax would raise revenues of $17.5 million, while an 8 cent tax would create revenues of $20 million. Nine cents would provide revenues of $22.5 million for the hospital district.
The court disagreed with Hinojosa's proposed 9 cents and the hospitals' 10 cent request and set the starting tax at 8 cent per $100 valuation.
In other action, the court also amended the number of members who will be appointed to the hospital district's board of directors. In a previous meeting, the court decided on seven directors: five appointed by the court and representatives from McAllen and Edinburg. However, Mission and Pharr also have agreed to pay $500,000 toward the establishment of the future medical school and wanted a representative on the board.
Other Hidalgo County cities have requested input on the board, but County Judge Ramon Garcia said the board members would be limited to those cities that agreed to help fund the shortfall for the medical school of $5,000,000 per year. During open forum, there also was a request from a resident that a citizen's advisory board be appointed to advise the hospital board on the needs of the communities.
Speaking in support of the new medical school and proposed hospital district, Edinburg Mayor Richard Garcia told the court 25 years ago San Antonio was about the size of the Valley when it started its hospital district. Toda,y San Antonio has many businesses related to healthcare that have caused growth within the city economically and by population. San Antonio is the second largest city in the state and seventh in the nation. Garcia attributed much of its growth to the district.
Pct. 4 Commissioner Joseph Palacios asked if the county would be obligated to return the 8 cents in the current tax rate to the voters. He said his constituents are asking if the hospital district and the 8-cent tax is approved, would the county reduce the county tax rate in the future because it would no longer be responsible for the $8 million needed for indigent health care.
In matters related to the upcoming election Yvonne Ramon said the Hidalgo ISD auditorium would be used for early voting instead of the administration office. She introduced Albert Morales of Advocacy Alliance Center of Texas (AACT) and Katie Jones, AACT outreach coordinator and told the court the organization is working to place getting machines placed in high schools. The purpose is to encourage younger citizens to start voting and taking an interest in what happens in the community around them at an early age.
The program will be piloted at Edinburg North High School, Edinburg High School, Economedes High School and Robert Vela High School. It will also be held at McAllen High School, McAllen Memorial High School and Nikki Rowe High School. In Pharr, the program will be held at PSJA High School, PSJA North High School and PSJA Memorial High School. It will also be held at the Idea Schools headquarters. Plans are to add one to two school districts during election years until all school districts in Hidalgo County are participating.
After discussion, all early voting sites presented were approved.
Under constable requests, the court approved new employees to be hired under the terms of a grant to work at the Tropical Texas Mental Health Mental Retardation Center. Constables from Precincts 1, 2 and 4 also requested additional deputy constables for their precincts.
However, because of plans to cut staff by four percent in the upcoming budget through attrition, Budget Manager Sergio Cruz objected to hiring additional staff other than those who are to be funded through the grant. There will be a special budget meeting next week where constables will have an opportunity to justify the need for the additional employees.
Other statements on the budget came from the OWLS (Objective Watchers of the Legal System) during open forum. Virginia Townsend said there was too much forgiveness of fees and fines at the constables' offices. She said the sheriff's office ought to be required to publish a list of fines and fees collected or forgiven on a monthly basis. Collecting all fines could be a source of revenue not directly costing all Hidalgo County taxpayers.
She also questioned how a sheriff's office could lose 10 cars and 27 guns, which was recently reported at the conclusion of an audit by Sheriff Eddie Guerra. An annual audit of all equipment should be required to be sure there are no more losses of that magnitude.blog comments powered by Disqus

SUNDAY, Aug. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Large numbers of
less-educated white Americans are abandoning religion, a new study
Since the 1970s, religious service attendance has declined among
all white Americans, but the rate of decline among those without
college degrees has been more than twice that of college graduates,
according to the researchers.
The study, which was to be presented Sunday at the annual
meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA) in Las
Vegas, focused on whites because religiosity among blacks and
Hispanics is less affected by education and income, the researchers
They analyzed data from the General Social Survey and the
National Survey of Family Growth to assess monthly religious
service attendance among adults aged 25 to 44 in the 1970s and in
the past decade.
The researchers found that 38 percent of the least-educated
whites (who did not graduate high school) attended religious
services in the 1970s, compared with 50 percent of moderately
educated whites (who had a high school diploma but did not graduate
from a four-year college) and 51 percent of educated whites (who at
a minimum graduated from a four-year college).
In the past decade, 23 percent of the least-educated whites
attended religious services monthly or more often, compared with 37
percent of moderately educated whites and 46 percent of
college-educated whites, the researchers said.
"Our study suggests that the less-educated are dropping out of the American religious sector, similarly to the way in which they have dropped out of the American labor market," lead researcher W. Bradford Wilcox, a professor of sociology at the University of Virginia, said in an ASA news release.
In the current economy, whites with the lowest levels of
education are less likely to have stable jobs, to earn decent
incomes, to be married with children, or to hold family-centered
views. Therefore, it makes sense that they're not attracted to
religious institutions that continue to promote conventional
societal norms, Wilcox said.

Celtic fest concerns surprise director

By Ben Orcutt -- email@example.com
FRONT ROYAL -- The coordinator of the Front Royal Celtic Festival says he was taken aback after some Town Council members expressed concerns about this year's event during a Monday work session.
"I was blindsided by this," Michael Turner said Wednesday. "I had no idea that there'd be negativity. It shocked me."
Turner said Councilman Thomas E. Conkey came to his defense.
"The first thing he said was I don't see why you guys are grilling the guy like this," Turner said of Conkey. "It's kind of rude. It was rude and it was offensive. I don't know these people. I'm just a citizen in the area trying to do something positive for the town."
The Town Council has a request on its Monday agenda from Turner to allow the use the common area by the gazebo for the third annual festival slated from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on June 18.
In that regard, Turner is trying to rally as many people as possible to attend Monday's meeting to speak in support of the Celtic festival being downtown.
"There's alcohol, but it's not a drunkfest and we're going to make sure it doesn't get out of hand," Turner said. "The point is, again, the positive, the dancing, the music, tremendous heritage here in this area of the Celtics."
Turner said the event is family-oriented, and the charge is $5 per person or $25 for an entire family, which can be loosely defined.
"So we need some more family-friendly festivals," he said. "This is a great town. We need more things that are good for families here. And that's why we're doing this. It's not a personal venture. We're becoming a nonprofit. We're in the process."
Last year's event lost money, Turner said, with him personally taking the hit to the tune of more than $1,400. He said this year's event will benefit Scots for Tots, an organization that promotes children's health, according to its website.
"But it makes sense to be in the middle of town," Turner said of the festival. "Eventually we'll outgrow that area, which is fine. It's still small. So the town, in my opinion, should be an incubator for these things, these positive, small, little family festivals."
Turner said the first festival attracted 1,000 people, and last year's event drew 4,000 to downtown.
Councilman Thomas H. Sayre supports the festival.
"The Celtic festival is a family-friendly, educational festival and the merchants will have the ability to have sidewalk sales during the festival," Sayre said.
However, Mayor Timothy W. Darr and Councilmen Carson C. Lauder Jr. and N. Shae Parker have some concerns.
Lauder said he thinks there perhaps should be a permitting process for festivals.
"It's like the vendors," Lauder said. "You have to have a permitting process to allow them to do what they need to do and you also need a permitting process for a festival, regardless of size, to come in and perhaps the permit fee should be structured along the lines the bigger the festival, the more revenue generated, the more the fee should be on the sliding scale because it's going to take more work force through police and cleaning up afterwards."
Darr was like-minded.
"I think overall the town needs to, we need to look at a policy or rules, put something into effect that will maintain and support the whole festival activity thing," Darr said. "My biggest concern is it impedes on parking and some things in the downtown area."
Darr suggested there are other places the festival could consider, such as Gertrude E. Miller Park or the former middle school on 15th Street.
"It's not that I'm anti-Celtic festival," Darr said. "It's just the proper thing is to put it in the proper place so we don't impede the businesses downtown, so we don't impede the farmers' market, so we allow people to park their vehicles when they come to downtown Front Royal on a Saturday."
Parker spoke in a similar vein in a Wednesday e-mail.
"The Gertrude E. Miller Park adjacent to Bing Crosby Stadium would be a very suitable location with ample parking and other amenities which are not available at the Gazebo location," Parker said. "Another option would be the former Warren County Middle School on 15th Street, which houses Zuckerman Field. This football stadium and track which surrounds it, is used by other organization(s) ... and includes ample parking and could also make a desirable location."

If you carry a knife for defense, this book is a must have. It uses modern medical data and studies to develop time tables for bleed out rates for normal sized people. They then use these tables as the basis for their knife targeting system focusing on cutting muscle groups instead of going for organs/blood vessels.
Included are some GRAPHIC pictures of real knife attack wounds.

Using contemporary medical data, the authors give the reader an updated guide to the damage one can expect during a knife attack. Very well-researched, a must-have for reality-based self-defense.

Women in History: Kate Sheppard
Did you know that the first country to give women the right to vote was New Zealand? It was. In 1893. Did you know that the Kiwi ladies had the right to vote 27 years before women in the United States? They totes did. Mostly, thanks to this bodacious babe, Kate Sheppard.
Catherine Wilson Malcolm was born in England in 1847, received a great education, and was known to be intelligent. She preferred to be known as Katherine or Kate. For a while during her youth, she lived with her minister uncle. Her uncle and mother had a lot of influence on Kate's religious beliefs. In 1869, Kate's father passed away and her family immigrated to Christchurch, New Zealand where Kate met and married Walter Sheppard.
In 1885, Kate became involved with the Women's Christian Temperance Union based on her religious beliefs. The goal of the temperance movement was to reduce or prohibit the consumption of alcohol. When the group realized that majority of the supporters of the temperance movement were women, the Temperance Union became more involved in the women's suffrage movement. Kate quickly became prominent in the movement. She was a proficient public speaker and once stated "all that separates, whether of race, class, creed, or sex, is inhuman, and must be overcome."
The Temperance Union first presented their petition in support of women's suffrage in 1891. It was supported by several members of Parliament, but no law was passed. A second, larger petition was presented in 1892, but still no law was passed. In 1893, the third petition for women's suffrage was presented to Parliament. That year, a bill giving women the right to vote was successfully passed and women in New Zealand were granted full voting rights. Even though the bill was last minute (ten weeks until the election), Kate and the members of the Temperance Union worked tirelessly to register women voters. Nearly two-thirds of women in New Zealand cast votes that year.
After the victory for women's suffrage, Kate traveled back to England as an advocate of women's rights and was elected President of the National Council of Women in New Zealand. In the early 1900s, Kate's health began deteriorating, and she stepped down form the council. She continued to travel and advocate for women's rights in the United States, Canada, and Britain. Kate passed away in Christchurch in 1934. She is commemorated on New Zealand's ten dollar bill.

Hello David
Please know that I am not a doctor or a dermatologist. Your guess could be right. The fancy name for an infected hair follicle is folliculitis.
Medline Plus has this advice about treating folliculitis:
"Hot, moist compresses may promote drainage of the affected follicles. Treatment may include antibiotics applied to the skin (mupirocin) or taken by mouth (dicloxacillin), or antifungal medications to control the infection."
It may be this and it may be something else entirely. You won't know until you get it seen by a doctor.
Hope you feel better soon. Thank you for your question.

Heartburn Medical Treatment
Comment on this
The doctor will recommend treating heartburn in a gradual progression.
Over-the-counter antacids are the oldest effective self-treatments for heartburn. Through the centuries, people have chewed on chalk (the active ingredient is calcium carbonate) to ease heartburn. Tablets are less powerful in neutralizing stomach acid than liquid antacids.
Follow label instructions and do not take more than the recommended daily dose. Most commonly, patients take antacids after meals and at bedtime, or when they have symptoms.
Always tell a doctor about your antacid use.
Heartburn Medications
If the patient still has heartburn symptoms after lifestyle modifications and use of antacids, the doctor may prescribe drugs.

Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook pages since we often post quickie updates there when we're on-the-go.
During tours, we do our best to cover setlists in real-time on Twitter. If you want to tweet a show in, just DM or @ us on the day and tell us to watch your stream that night.
Tori will be touring in 2014 to support the release of Unrepentant Geraldines. The European legs runs from May through June and the North American legs spans July and August. We do not know if additional dates elsewhere will be added.
Be sure to check out our other sections, Tour — where setlists and other concert-related material will be updated daily while Tori is on tour — and You. Lots of interesting stuff!
Alexander told us about a fun Tori segment on NPR. You can hear bits of "Teenage Hustling" ( oooh, we LIKE it! ) and "Big Wheel". The part where one of the interviewers says "Uh-oh, eeeoooh" is pretty priceless. [Edit: Tori starts around 26:00.]
[UPDATE: If you scroll down the page, you can listen to "Big Wheel" in full. The link says "Teenage Hustling," but it's wrong.]
Completely un-Tori-related: stick around after the Tori segment to hear a clip from a truly grooving Delta blues song, "Down In Mississippi," from the upcoming Mavis Staples album We'll Never Turn Back.
Yes, yes, yes, you Toriphiles have managed to find one of the blogs. Good job, detectives! And there's a new entry posted today.
We may be able to confirm the remaining blogs once you've found them, but don't ask us where they are. Remember, this is a hunt and you are on your own. The only way we'll tell is if you find our hidden blog. Mwahahahahaaa! (Hint: We ain't got no hidden blog.)
JB Hi-Fi, an Australian retailer, is taking pre-orders for American Doll Posse and will be shipping the album on May 18th. However, it's not clear that is the actual Australian release date as they explain, "the above release date is for online store only due to shipping requirements – in store release date may vary." Sony BMG Australia has yet to post a release date for the record down under…but at least they know how to flesh out a skimpy press release! (Or did we mention that already?)
Interestingly, JB Hi-Fi's listing idenitifies the album as a double-CD release, with the track list, including "Posse Bonus", "Smokey Joe" and "Dragon", split between "Body and Soul" and "Father's Son". While this could be the special edition with the DVD, it could also be something completely different for the Australian market.
Thanks to Alana for the tip!
In all the hub-bub about the new album, posses, and blogs, the Ljubljana show going on sale almost slipped under the radar. Thanks to one soldier of the army of spies who noticed that this concert on sale now at Eventim.si (if you can't read that, click on the English link at the bottom of the page and then search for Tori and you'll get the same link but in English). You must be registered with the site to purchase tickets. And it does not appear that you can select your seat location.
Note: the show appears to be taking place at Hala Tivoli rather than Krizanke as previously advertised.
Toriamos.com sent out a newsletter about the Posse that includes the tracklisting and a link to an audio message from Tori. (You can also find the info by heading over to Everything Tori.)
Tori's message:
Hey there, this is Tori. So by now you may have heard about American Doll Posse. I wanted to officially introduce you to the girls. They will all be going on tour. We're out shopping right now, and I can't keep a-hold of a-one of them. They'd love to get to know you; they've all heard so much about you. You can look for them online. They will all be accessible if you can find their blogs, which they update frequently. Instead of an Easter egg hunt this season, I'm hosting a Posse hunt. Happy hunting.
Tori's MySpace has been updated as well. Please, dear God, don't let the members of the posse be buried in Tori's 80,326 MySpace friends! That would just be cruel!
Thanks to Emily, Jack, Christina, Nicholas, and last but not least, my poor thrashed fingers.
It's heee-eeere. This image of the final album cover comes directly from Epic. Click to see the big (and we do mean BIIIG) picture.
Note that there is no text; we assume that's yet to be added. Also note that the image is very wide; will this image wrap on both the front and back covers? Our fantasy is that the album will come in a hyperdigipack that has FOUR dimensions, where the girls will pop out, explain the songs, and then vacuum your house!
The April 2, 2007 of US Weekly has a piece revealing the five characters that Tori developed for American Doll Posse. They are named Santa, Clyde, Isabelle, Tori, and Pip. In the brief accompanying article, Tori talks a little about how the five women's stories factor into the album as a whole. (You know the routine by now: click on the thumbnail for a larger image.)
The text reads:
Tori Amos is into role-playing. For American Doll Posse, her first album in more than to two years, due on May 1, the piano-playing alt-rocker, 43, developed five female characters (insert) around the record's 20 tracks. "The album is a collection of stories," Amos (who lives in Cornwall, England, with husband Mark Hawley and daughter Natashya, 6), tells Us. "Each story is a chapter from one of the women."
ALL IN THE FAMILY – Hawley, a sound engineer, worked on the album too. "There are moments when it can be really sexy and moments when you really disagree," Amos tells Us of working with him. "That can be tricky when you go back to the same room ant the end of a long day!"
Thanks to Beebles for the scan and to WinterWitch and Fabz for stirring me from my workday torpor and getting my attention back to the work that matters!
Barnes & Noble has added a listing for the special edition of American Doll Posse that explicitly specifies this version of the album will include a bonus DVD. Their track list for the special edition is currently identical to that of the regular edition though, so we still have no information about what the special edition will include.
Additionally, German retailer Bücher has added a listing for a vinyl release of American Doll Posse! We also have confirmation of the vinyl release from a trusted source who indicates that it will be a double-LP. It's not clear at this time if the vinyl will be released in Europe only or not though. Regardless, fellow afficiandos of the wax, rejoice with me!
Thanks to Ellen and Darrell for these tips!
Fabz hooks us up with some news from Down Under. Perhaps not super specific or definite, but at least it's something.
(You can also see the "not really the album cover, but maybe it is, but it's not official, so maybe it's not, but it COULD be, but maybe not" pic at that same link.)
Finnish Toriphile Tommi reports:
I had the huge honour of being able to hear American Doll Posse today at Sonybmg headquaters in Finland and I thought I shared the experience with you.
The album in simply put excellent! I can't say anything bad of it honestly. Its like sitting on a rollercoaster ride and it starts easy and suddenly it goes to more rock oriented sounds. I think Tori managed to combine elements of all her previous albums and add some of her favourite artists influence in the mix (Glam rock, Led Zeppelin infulences can be heard). There is also one track that reminded me of 60's pop and other that came close to modern country. There are more guitars here than ever before and partially the sound is more American than before, which isn't a bad thing.
Also added in the mix are horns and a harp (I think). So it is much more varied than Beekeeper or Scarlet's Walk. Gone is also time of being too political and back is warrior woman. I can honestly say, that this is much better than 2 previous albums. It has some short interludes so the way it's been put together is in the same style as Boys For Pele.
In other words, this is an album worth of waiting!!!
Thanks, Tommi!

Topics: Politics, Health Reform, Medicare
Jul 29, 2009
The Washington Post: "Three Democrats and three Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee are expected to wrap up their arduous multi-week talks in the coming days, and Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) said he expects a panel vote before the Senate recess, which will begin Aug. 7. Assuming the fragile committee coalition holds, the legislation it produces would scramble the reform landscape by introducing policy ideas that have their origins in the political center. The bill is bound to disappoint liberals." "The finance panel's legislation is expected to include incentives for employers to provide health insurance for their workers, rather than a more punitive coverage mandate. The committee is also likely to endorse narrowly targeted tax increases, rejecting a controversial tax surcharge on wealthy households that the House adopted and limits on deductions for upper-income taxpayers that Obama is seeking" (Murray and Kane, 7/29).
NPR's Steve Inskeep interviewed Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who discussed the bipartisan negotiations: "We have made great progress. Every day we make progress. Will we get it done by this weekend? .... We're restructuring one-sixth of the economy, we think it ought to be done right." (Morning Edition, 7/29).
Senators negotiating in the Finance Committee are close to reaching a deal that would save $35 billion in Medicare spending during the next decade by assigning an independent commission to examine changes, The Associated Press reports, quoting sources. "Under the plan, an independent commission would be empowered to recommend changes in Medicare annually, to take effect automatically unless Congress enacted an alternative. In addition to saving money, the proposal is aimed at turning the program for those age 65 and over into one that more clearly rewards quality, officials said. The commission would be required to recommend $35 billion in savings over a decade from Medicare" (Espo and Werner, 7/28).
Roll Call: "Senate Finance Committee Democrats, following a meeting Tuesday morning, appeared slightly happier with the direction of ongoing health care reform talks that (Baucus) is leading with three of the panel's Republicans. … 'It was actually a good meeting,' Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) said. 'I told Max — I said: I'm encouraged'"(Drucker, 7/28). Bloomberg: "Democratic Senator Max Baucus, leading the talks among six Democrats and Republicans on the finance committee, said they made progress and will meet again today. … 'We reached an agreement on a couple of very key points,' Baucus told reporters after meeting with the other senators" (Litvan and Dodge, 7/29).
The Hill: "Senators need 60 votes to advance the legislation and many say the burden of resolving the healthcare dispute in their chamber will rest with (Reid), setting up arguably the most difficult decision of his career. Reid, who has already moved the floor debate to the fall, said Tuesday that Senate Democrats will spend 'many hours' in a series of meetings next week to seek some sort of consensus" (Bolton and Young, 7/28). Politico has more on Reid's role in uniting the Finance Committee with the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee: "It's a risky and unusual role for a majority leader who — unlike his Democratic predecessor, Tom Daschle — prides himself in taking a hands-off approach and giving his committee barons wide latitude to do their work. If Reid can bring together the sparring factions of his own caucus, he may get the credit for being the critical negotiator who made health care reform possible. But if he can't — if the bill moves too far to the right or too far to the left or just doesn't move at all — Reid could be blamed for missing a may-never-come-again chance to vastly expand coverage" (Raju, 7/29). The Hill reports in a second story: "Reid stepped out to defend Baucus at a mid-afternoon press conference, but avoided details. Asked if he was confident that a bill will reach the Senate floor by the time the recess begins on Aug. 7, Reid simply said, 'Yes'" (Rushing, 7/28). The Associated Press in a second story: "But the recess will be no vacation for the forces at work on health care, least of all Reid and Baucus. A message war will ensue, with Republicans demanding a rewrite and Democrats calling for patience. Aides will spend the summer break toiling over how to marry the Finance Committee bill with elements of less viable proposals turned out by other panels." At some point, Obama and congressional Democrats will decide whether compromising towards the center is the best strategy for passage or too risky in terms of losing support from the party's liberal base. "The next 10 days are pivotal. The onus to deliver is on Baucus and Reid" (Kellman, 7/29).

Love Marilyn and Randell; I don't think you can find two better hosts to greet you and care for you at their Bed and Breakfast. This was our second time returning; two years ago my then boyfriend proposed while on a weekend get-away here and having dinner at Tara Vinyard's. We've been married a little over a year now and upon our arrival, Randell and Marilyn had a sweet bottle of wine for us in our room, wishing us a Happy Anniversary. If you want a place to go to get away from the city life where you can relax, hear nature, take in the fresh air, fish and enjoy life at a slow pace for a moment, this is where you need to stay! Love it here!

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was comfortable an we enjoyed the scenery. The peaceful woods provided a vacation from the city. Breakfast was tasty and the hosts were so friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the fishing and seeing birds and butterflies.

Marilyn and Randy made each detail of our stay and elopement uniquely perfect for Bryan and I. Living in the city, working full time jobs we had forgotten what it feels like to relax. Oak Creek Bed and Breakfast is a beautiful hidden jewel. We loved every minute of our stay and did not want to leave when it was time to go. I cant wait to plan our next getaway.

FANTASTIC !!! From the greeting, we were met before we could get out of the car. The warmth we were given was outstanding. The rooms are clean, cozy, and relaxing. The grounds are very well maintained and so peaceful and tranquil. Randy and Marilyn are the owners and they make you feel as you are family with their warmth and hospitality. If you are needing a place to get away well look no more as this is the place!

Our return trip to Oak Creek was as nice as the first several years ago. If you like a peaceful country setting, clean comfortable accommodations, and a wonderful breakfast, then Oak Creek will meet your expectations.

The environment is just great to find a sense of stillness that seems to be lacking in our daily lives. Marilyn and Randy are wonderful hosts.

Our stay at Oak Creek Bed & Breakfast for our 28th anniversary was absolutely perfect! Really it was our first time at Oak Creek, as well as, first time staying at a Bed & Breakfast, but I dare say, it's probably the only one we'll ever stay at for fear that others will not compare to the pristine facilities, attention to details, the tranquility and outstanding hospitality and service provided by Randy and Marilyn Tarin. I only wish that we would have at least booked two nights instead of just one, however, we are so looking forward to our next stay there during warmer months where we can fully enjoy relaxing by the water, exploring the hiking trails and the campfire at night. Until we meet again . . .

Language Disorders in Children and Adults
New Issues in Research and Practice
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThis book contains contributions from eminent clinicians and researchers in the field of language impairment, and crosses the bridge between children and adults. It reflects the developments that have taken place in Speech and Language Therapy over the past 10 years and focuses on issues in SLT that have recently come into ascendancy. These include: personal and social consequences of language disability, and how to measure these; the evidence base for speech and language therapy interventions; language processing and the interplay between language and cognition; and the degree to which impairments in one affect the other. There is a growing concern about the needs of adolescents who have language difficulties - a group who, by their age, development and experience straddle the child/adult divide. It extends the themes by looking at future implications and sets out the challenges ahead for the speech and language therapy profession. less

Microsoft discovers long-lost phone division down back of sofa
Sure drop the Nokia, but why add Microsoft? Make Lumia the brand on its own.
Mobile coverage on trains really is pants
Re: Almost every developed country seems to do much better
Reading to London is no better. Sure it's only 30 minutes, but in that 30 minutes I'd like to send a few emails, check my voice messages and read some online news. You can only do that for about 60-70% of the journey.
sample size of one
I travel for work a lot, and this is full of confirmation bias etc etc but my O2 gets a better signal for data on most train journeys than Vodafone. Vodafone does a better job of maintaining a voice call though.
I carry two phones because usually one of them will work when I get to my destination, otherwise I'm scrambling to find a good wifi connection to use Lync.

Microsoft's Black Thursday: XBox Live goes down as XBox Studio canned
Re: Begining of the end.
Big businesses always cut staff at some point, if they didn't they would become inefficient and bloated. If they don't cut staff, they get bought by other businesses who will do it for them, like has happened here. Most of the staff being made redundant are from the Nokia business.
It's unfortunate that other areas are taking a hit though, good people will lose their jobs.
Job for IT generalist ...
If you want the big bucks, then you'll probably need to specialise - otherwise you will be aiming for an IT Manager role in a small to medium organisation - and they don't come up that often.
I'd look into IT consulting, talk to some of the larger companies that you've heard of, and ask them about what sort of career progression and training they can offer. Talking to people at trade expos is a good place to start, they usually happy to have someone drop by who actually wants to talk to them, even if you're not buying something.
It sounds to me like your aiming for an Architect or Managing Consultant type role, but you need to prove your worth on the engineering or technical consulting rungs before you climb to the top. I don't think you'll still be wanting to dive in under desks in 10-15 years time, so now is the time to think about your options. You might need to specialise in the short term in order to get you that chance to be a well paid generalist in the medium term.
Reg tries out Google's Chromecast: Yep, we even tested smut sites
Unfortunately here in Blighty we're subjected to import duties and VAT, which pumps the price up. Even a $30 USD device shipped would struggle to get into my living room for under 30 pounds.

Went for the 2-5 day super saver shipping and it arrived within 16 hours. Bonus weekend playtime.
I don't have an apple TV and was looking at setting up Plex on my old desktop pc, so this fits nicely for future use.
Meanwhile Netflix on a big screen without having to plug the laptop to the (7 year old) TV is real reason I bought it. Works a treat - can start playing from my iPhone and it takes over, don't need to keep it running - but you can if you want a remote.

CIOs, IT chiefs: ARRGH! What do you MEAN, HR just bought 400 iPads and didn't tell us
Organisations clearly need a mobility policy that EVERYONE is aware of, otherwise it's going to become a security and management nightmare. Sure, allow BYOD, or different departments to purchase kit, but make sure they know the minimum security requirements prior to making that purchase - and that they'll be on their own in terms of hardware support or they'll need to contribute budget for the increased workload IT is about to take.

Re: console vs PC
As a long time FPS player on PC, I thought the same thing about switching to a console.
It was a jump at first, but you find it's more natural to control movement and aim with the thumb sticks than one hand on asdw and one on the mouse. You also find you get fast at weapon swapping and all the other things I know I developed shortcuts for in my previous PC gaming life. I still play PC games, just not graphics intensive ones.
7 years later and I'm still playing and enjoying xbox 360 FPS and I haven't had to upgrade my video card every year to keep up. Still deciding between PS 4 and xbox one - neither of them can play my current xbox games so I don't really care which.

Windows 8.1 to freeze out small business apps
Re: Intune IS for smaller businesses
You always end up paying, whether it's for hardware, software, support, or in downtime when the "solution" your expert installed falls over for the 3rd time this year. Whether you choose to invest that money in something with a financially backed SLA or Doug, the Linux guy, is up to you.

Microsoft pulls faulty Exchange 2013 patch HOURS after release
Re: Did this take outlook down ?
from the blog linked in the article:
"Q: How was this issue not detected in Exchange Online if Exchange Online is always receiving fixes before on-premises customers?
A: Exchange Online does not deploy .msp patches into the environment; instead, Exchange Online deploys new full builds of the product (cumulative updates, if you will) on a regular release cadence. As a result, Exchange Online was not impacted by this issue."
I love the QA section in the blog
"Q: You have told us time and time again that you were going to improve your testing procedures, and yet each time you have to tell us that you missed something. When will it end?"
Good that they're asking the questions, bad that this isn't the first time it has happened.

Re: Not just radio signal safety
@Anonymous Coward 101
Have you flown? They ALWAYS wake people up before landing. As for books and magazines, they can't talk back - so their distraction level is a magnitude lower than a phone.
Re: Not just radio signal safety
@Don Jefe
Good point, and glad you're ok.
- but never underestimate the capacity for stupidity from one or two individuals in a large group.
Re: Never any danger
True, if it were placing us in immediate danger, do you think they would politely ask us to turn them off?
That said, radio signals have been proven to interfere with some electronic equipment - would you really want to risk it at 30,000 feet?
Not just radio signal safety
I've had it explained to me that the reason they ask us to switch off the phones especially during take off and landing is these are the times that the plane is most likely to crash - and therefore, the full undivided attention of everyone on the plane is required in case of an emergency exit.
The fact that there will always be some moron who thinks it is more important to call their mum rather than listen to the cabin crew and get-the-hell-off-the-plane is precisely why they need rules like this.
Secondly, there are electronic components that are impacted by radio signals, and a "my plane didn't crash and I left my phone on" isn't a valid argument for the removal of those rules. Lack of an expected outcome is not elimination of causation .
You're 30 years old and your PIN is '1983'. DAMMIT, biz mobe user
Re: It's goes to 11, see?
@Alistair Dodd 1
What's the point of a PIN at all if it is easy to remember? It makes it easier to guess too. Asking someone to choose a pin on the spot and they're likely to go with a year - or a PIN they're already using somewhere else (say their bank) which is worse. Alternatively they'll come up with something random that means nothing to them and they'll forget it. Give them a PIN and they'll try to remember it - being given a PIN on a piece of paper that they read and then dispose of properly is a memory aid.
Actually, 4 digit pins are so useless you might as well say "your PIN is 1234" and be done with it.
Switch to longer alpha numeric or pass phrases and your users will remember them.
Can I have your PIN please?
It's ok, it's for a scientific study.

Thinking outside the (magnetic) box
Absolutely something like this will have a place in archival storage. We're storing more data longer thanks to the need to keep historic copies of data for compliance reasons, and the "never delete anything" attitude that has grown since storage prices have come down. Magnetic doesn't make sense for long term storage unless you're regularly reading and re-writing it, which itself ages the storage medium.
It will be interesting if their 1000 year estimate even makes it past the 50 year mark, with "CDs will last forever" quickly being replaced with "CDs will begin to deteriorate after 5-10 years" not that many years ago.

Re: Don't forget pricing for System Center 2012

You're right on the management tools too - but the cost of VMware's tools are about equal to those of a SC 2012 license.
Windows 8.1: Here at last, but is it good enough?
Re: Speak your brains
I haven't had a chance to play with 8.1 yet, but I've heard "meh" and "yeah!" in equal measures from those who have. It sound like they were listening to the public. The idea of snapping up to 4 apps on a screen is an improvement - especially since you can stick TIFKAM on one screen (with say email, twitter feed, <insert instant messaging client of choice> and, well I can't think of a 4th I'd want running at the same time (maybe calendar? a to do list?), while you're working on the other. Looking forward to giving that a go.

Patch Tuesday: And EVERY version of IE needs fixing AGAIN
Re: I thought some of those versions were *complete* re-writes from the ground up.
Complete re-write doesn't imply they won't re-use existing interfaces for communication between components or externally - so they can become susceptible in the same manner.
Take for instance the way software communicates with the certificate store - it may differ between versions but the base interaction is the same - and therefore potentially open to the same attacks across versions.

Unless, of course, your grocer of choice just decides to hand you a plastic bag anyway.
