Happy Easter Applique
By: Helen of DevonBear Designs
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Use simple applique and felt flowers to create a Happy Easter square for Easter decorating. Hang as a sign, turn into a decorative pillow or use around a fabric Easter basket. This Easter sewing project is the perfect use for fabric scraps.
When choosing your fabric scraps try to keep to 3 main colours. I chose lilac, yellow and green which to me are spring colours. It doesn't matter if touches of other colours creep in, but don't go mix and match mad, your finished panel will simply look bitty.
Make the applique design:
Fuse the bondaweb to the wrong side of the fabric scraps. Draw letters and cut out. If you have letter templates, you can trace.
Prepare the centres of your flowers in the same way. Do not fuse bondaweb to the reverse of the felt petals, simply cut out. Download the flower template here. Resize your templates to suit the size of panel you are making, but remember to adjust your fabric quantities accordingly.
Position your letters and flowers using the lines you have drawn as a guide. When you are happy with their positions then remove the backing from the bondaweb and fuse the Letters only to the main panel.
Lay the main panel on top of the blanket/wadding and hold in place with either spray fabric adhesive or by tacking. When you are stitching you will stitch through the letter, main fabric panel and blanket/wadding. This will hold the blanket/wadding in place and also give your stitching a nice padded effect.
With your embroidery floss (3 strands) stitch simple running stitch around the edges of each letter. This is all you will need to do to keep them in place as there won't be any wear and tear. If you've decided to make an Easter cushion (pillow) that is actually going to be used then I would recommend running a machine zigzag over the raw edges to hold the letters securely in place. Otherwise this really isn't necessary.
When you've done the letters, position the flowers. Do not remove the backing from the bondaweb on the central (fabric) petals as this will give them enough body and stiffness to stand up slightly making an attractive 3D effect. Hold the flowers in place by stitching on the central button.
Position the leaves. Hold in place with simple running stitch down the centres. Your applique panel is now completed. You may want to press it at this stage
Position the jumbo ric rac braid around the edges of the panel as shown and machine or hand tack in place.
Machine around the edges stitching over the line of stitching where you attached the ric rac braid. Leave a gap of about 4" at the bottom of the panel for turning through.
Trim seam allowances and clip corners.
Turn through and topstitch gap closed.
Attach two plastic curtain rings to the back of your decoration for hanging.
Hang and enjoy!!

Darci Marchese,
WASHINGTON - Typically, one or two people report a stolen electronic device on Metro each day. But Wednesday, seven thefts were reported in more than 12 hours.
Metro says the thefts occurred throughout the region.
"There doesn't appear to be a common threat between them. It appears that these were all isolated incidences," says Metro spokeswoman Caroline Lucas.
Although seven thefts are unusual, six times the average rate, Lucas says Metro routinely sees a spike in thefts this time of year.
"Typically we see higher incidence of snatch-thefts of electronic devices in the months of January and February," says Lucas.
She says people tend to get new gadgets over the holidays and spend even more time focused on them.
"People are still enthralled with them and so they tend to be a little less cognizant of their surroundings," she says.
Lucas says she would like to see riders put their gadgets away while on Metro but she knows that's unrealistic.
"So, at least look up, see who's around you. Pay attention to your surroundings," Lucas recommends.
Lucas says the Metro Transit Police Department is focused on trying to stop thefts by deploying crime-suppression teams out on Metro. Officers make themselves easy targets for thieves and then arrest them.
Lucas urges riders to call police immediately if they have cellphones stolen, so carriers can block them.

Associated Press
THAI BINH, Vietnam (AP) -- North Vietnamese army veteran Nguyen Anh Quoc grimaces as he forces down the last of the 35 vitamins he takes each morning. After decades of suffering from illnesses he believes were caused by exposure to Agent Orange, he is putting his faith in a regime advocated by the Church of Scientology.
"I have to take them," the 62-year-old said at a treatment center established with the help of a Scientology-funded group. "They will clean up my body."
The center, a converted mushroom farm in northern Vietnam, owes as much to Scientology's desire to expand around the world, away from scandal in the United States, as it does to pressure in Vietnam to try to help aging veterans still suffering from the effects of war.
Many medical experts regard the treatment -- a 25-day vitamin and sauna regime -- as junk medicine or even dangerous. But for now at least, it has found fertile ground here.
The Vietnamese advocacy group overseeing the program in Thai Binh province wants to offer it to all 20,000 people suffering from ailments blamed on dioxins in Agent Orange. U.S. airplanes sprayed up to 12 million gallons of the defoliant over the country during the Vietnam War to strip away vegetation used as cover by Vietnamese soldiers.
The advocacy group, which has the implicit support of the government, has almost completed a two-story accommodation block for patients and is raising funds for a much larger complex, with 15 more saunas than the five it currently has.
"I have seen so many desperate families that their tears have dried up," said Nguyen Duc Hanh, the head of local branch of the Vietnam Association of Agent Orange Victims in Thai Binh. "I don't know what the scientists say about its effectiveness, but the patients say it improves their health. They should be able to experience it before they die."
Scientologists believe the regime, which includes massive consumption of vitamins, four-hour sauna sessions and morning runs, can "sweat out" toxins stored in body fat. There are no peer-reviewed studies to back this claim.
The center was established in 2010 by five foreign members of a Scientology-funded sister organization, The Association of Better Living and Education. They gave local staff two months of training. The group is devoted to spreading church founder L. Ron Hubbard's social welfare programs and health treatments around the world.
The center makes no reference to its links to the church, and the volunteers have long departed. But having its "Purification Rundown" treatment accepted by authorities here adds legitimacy to it, and gives the church a foothold from which to grow.
The church sent volunteers to Asia to administer another of its treatments, a massage called a "touch assist," in the aftermath of disasters including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and 2008 Myanmar cyclone.
Since its emergence in the 1950s, Scientology has battled accusations, legal challenges and government scrutiny around the world over accusations it is a secretive cult that preys on vulnerable people. Its leaders deny those accusations.
Scientologists market the "rundown" treatment simultaneously as a spiritual treatment for followers and as a secular one for those needing "detox," either from drug addiction or chemical exposure. Two affiliated Scientology groups use the treatment in drug rehabilitation centers that have drawn wrongful death lawsuits and investigations.
In 1991, Scientology offered "rundown" treatments in Russia to people suffering symptoms related to radiation exposure following the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. The church still refers to the mission in its online literature, claiming numerous successes, but Russia banned it from performing medical treatment in the country in 1996.
Last year, a French court upheld fraud charges and fined the church $791,000 for its efforts to persuade people to take the "rundown."
Rubina Qureshi, vice president of ABLE International, said the detox has helped thousands of people exposed to chemical contamination, alleviating symptoms such as sleep difficulties, memory problems, pain and mood swings.
"Whatever the long-term health status of these individuals may be, reducing symptoms that have persisted for decades can have profoundly beneficial effects and this is a worthwhile goal in itself," Qureshi said via email.
The Thai Binh province group said it selects patients based on the severity of their symptoms, and that about 600 people have gone through the course.
Fourteen days into the program, Quoc, who suffers from diabetes, nervous system complaints and memory loss, said he was sleeping better, has a better appetite and felt better overall. A reporter questioned four other patients, all of whom made similar statements.

(September 2007) The impact of dividend policies, capital expenditures, and publicly traded equities highlights an in-depth look at what goes into the modified Dupont Model behind the ...
The 40 Best Energy Companies
an 8-percent rate increase plus a tracking mechanism to price-in its planned capital expenditures.
Additionally, the investments are happening at a time of transition for Southern's management. This summer, CEO David Ratcliffe announced his plans to retire at the end of the year, setting in motion a succession plan that results in COO Thomas Fanning becoming CEO, CFO Paul Bowers becoming COO and Alabama Power CFO Art Beattie ascending to CFO. The company also announced at least a dozen management changes at the VP level or higher.
For the next few years, these factors likely will weigh on Southern's financial performance—and its F40 ranking. Although Southern is one of the largest utility companies in America, with a $30 billion market capitalization, no U.S. utility can spend $20 billion over four years without straining its balance sheet and testing the indulgence of regulators and customers. Even so, Ratcliffe says Southern Company takes a long view on its cap-ex plans and the resulting public debate.
"The public has to understand that we're trying to find the best solutions for them in the long term," he told Fortnightly in an interview earlier this year. "We're fortunate in our jurisdiction to have an IRP process where we go before the regulators and ask for agreement on the actual amount of need we have, and then we go back in a separate process and determine exactly what technology makes the most sense, in terms of the mix of assets that already exist, the need for reliability and the desire for a cleaner footprint. That way we get a decision that the commission and the public has input into, and agreement that we should move forward. We'd never be able to build [the plants we have planned] if not for that public process and the cooperation of regulators and the communities we serve."
Protect and Grow
In some respect, many U.S. power and gas companies are facing a crossroads, and they're seeking direction from among industry leaders like the companies that appear near the top of Fortnightly's ranking year after year. However, the strategic lessons taught by these companies can seem confusing. For instance, the back-to-basics trend of the post-Enron era hasn't exactly reversed itself, but unregulated business activities are making a distinct comeback, generating strong returns for many companies. Investors value strong cash flow and steady dividends, but the leaders in the F40 pay lower dividends than many of their peers.
Such apparent contradictions might in fact belie the secret to success in shareholder performance. Dominion, PSEG and Exelon provide noteworthy examples.
In 2007, Dominion Resources embarked on a strategic redirection that it's still implementing today. The company sold its offshore hydrocarbon exploration & production businesses, as well as its properties in the Marcellus Shale region and a gas distribution company in Ohio, which was outside its primary service area in Virginia. Dominion aims to reduce the proportion of its earnings attributable to unregulated business, down from its previous 75 percent to about 40 percent. Yet the company intends to grow substantially, with plans to invest in

text: A much-needed look at one of our favorite instruments ever – the irreplaceable Fender Rhodes keyboard! The Rhodes has a sound that's unlike anything else – and has become a favorite of musicians over decades of use – as you'll hear in the film's interviews with Deodato, George Duke, Stanley Clarke, Patrice Rushen, Ramsey Lewis, Dave Grusin, Rodney Franklin, Joe Sample, Jerry Peters, Les McCann, Maurice White, Ronnie Foster, D'Angelo, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and other jazz and soul legends – an incredibly large roster for a project like this! The film was partially put together by Gerald McCauley – a keyboardist himself – and it shows a love and respect of the Rhodes that really comes through. Almost 2 hours long, in color, with a special "Rhodes Scholars" feature. (Please note that these are DVRs & may not play on all DVD players.) © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Nice chapter :D ........ R.I.P Hyuuga Neji! I'm gonna miss you! :o Can't wait for Kurama to get back some chakra!
I liked:
- How Naruto is not super powerful and actually someone ordinary who needs to build chakra, rest and survive.
- Obito is not Madara's dog and he himself has his own ideals and plans.
- Naruto and Hinata getting closer and closer.
- A nice flashback from the first days of Naruto when not many of the Naruto fans were total idiots.
- Juubi's wood element. It may use all kinds of kekkei genkai maybe?
Not liked:
- Madara's calmness against Obito.
- Juubi next transformation? Come on, is it from toad to frog? How many times will it transform?
- Naruto's lack of reaction to Hinata. That kid is surely dumb.
And to all people talking about Obito turning good, if that happens, this series is finished. Obito is everything they have to fight against, not Madara. I can accept Madara turning good or even gay, but not Obito.

LOL me too The nerve the little bastard has.. But Madara's playing it cool and smiling like a boss lol
Im loling at narusaku fans naruhina push ftw naruhina big biiiig push here and naruto is starting to acknowledge her love for him
Sad chapter.......
neji u will be missed
Great chapter, shame it was Neji but now that I think about it he is the wisest choice to kill off. Not so important Naruto kicks off and not so unimportant that no one cares.
Well i give the chapter a 3 1/2 rating becus nothin major happened except neji's death and the tensions that seem to be brewing between madara and obito...i never wanted neji to die he wus a very good character funny at times
Neji...damn...anyway Naruto's the key to the plan Shikaku set up I wonder what the key is, also Obito schooled Madara what.
I guess it's true what Itachi said your true nature will be shown when you die...
Kishi can use this chance to show off the K11, but instead he gives us Neji sacrificing himself because of love and for people's need to see death. >_>
I was wondering who of the 11 would be first. This would NOT have been my guess. Also, glad to see the conflict between Obito and Madara. I always suspected Obito might have a few stray genes that weren't 100% Uchiha.
Crazy stuff this war just got real
I wanted to see neji huuga vs sasuke uchiha fight but i guess it doesnt matter now.I got a feeling someone will revive everyone who die again.Arghh i will not like to see obito using rinne tensi after he got talk no jutsu by naruto to revive the ninja alliance
all obito fans including myself will be like :scorps:, he just showed that he won't get talk no jutsued
all madara fans will be likeWTH
and everyone else who saw neji die will be like
but overall am probably feeling like this:overjoy: and to any hater who dislike this chapter all i have to say is stfu
Last edited by Narukarin16; 12-18-2012 at 02:24 PM.
Kishi should give Neji back and take Sakura in exchange
Was madara just mind****ed by the Uchiha twerp?
I hope all of the people who kept nagging about how there weren't enough people dying or that there wasn't enough action are happy WTH...neji died just like a bad ass hero...now that neji is dead too I think that naruto is ready to kick it into KBM and kick some more ass :scorps:...definitely ready for the next chapter O.O...

RIP Neji
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH I am pissed! Neji is dead. Though I am upset I must say this adds depth and viability to the war arc. It makes sense that Neji would die. Now the seeds of Narunata have been planted and a senju descendant will have a child with an Uchiha descendant and have a super powerful kid.
The leaf has lost many of its own. Dont be surprised if Choji's dad dies next. Two major Hyuugas was too many so Hinata will surpass Neji and marry Naruto.
Oh and why is Kiba still alive but Neji is dead?

never expected this to happen, I'm still in a mindblown state.
Loved the part where Obito shows who's in charge and finnally the confirmation of Madara being the next Juubi jinchuriki!
R.I.P. Neji, although he's not one of my fav's, he was still a very good character. Rate 5 as a tribute to his death.

Btw Madara can use himself as a suicide bomb and Obito knows that. So here comes the betrayal.
What will Naruto do?? (Still TNJ?)
i have one word for you i guess.....kamui
Honestly, I was wondering who would die next. First Inoichi and Shikaku, now Neji. Neji should have died a long time ago. Back in the Sasuke Retrieval Arc actually. Honestly, I would have found it more moving if he was killed off then. Throughout the Manga, what characters have been focused on for development? The important characters that are critical to the storyline. Neji was never really critical to the storyline and as far as I know hadn't really been developed in terms of his abilities. Onto what I liked about this chapter and didn't like about it.
- The Not So Subtle Push For NaruHina.
- Neji's Heroic Sacrifice.
- Obito taking control of the situation.
- Madara's simple acceptance.
- Flashback to the early days where everyone wasn't so ridiculously overpowered.
- Naruto's need to rest and recover Chakra like everyone else.
- Naruto's stupidity.
- Leaving us in the dark about the plan.
- Juubi's Next Transformation.
- Obito dragging the fight on.
- Juubi being ridiculously overpowered.
- Madara and Obito being ridiculously overpowered.
I did not expect that to happen, really sad to see Neji die.

In the short space of 150,000 years, the polar bear has evolved from a grizzly bear into the most specialized predator of the arctic sea ice. Through behavioral, morphological, and physiological changes, the polar bear has become totally adapted to living comfortably in one of the harshest environments on the planet. Yet, the very survival of this unique mammal is now threatened by global climate warming.
Dr. Ian Stirling, the best known polar bear scientist in the world will explain how polar bears evolved, how researchers study them, aspects of their behavior, how they prey and live on various marine mammals, how seals and bears have evolved in response to each other, and how, specifically, they have come to be threatened by climate warming. Stirling's concern is that, "Climate warming is causing significant changes to the distribution and availability of sea ice at critical times of the year." He will share his research that highlights the significant negative effects of the loss of ice polar bears, and on the seals they depend upon. These effects have been documented in Western Hudson Bay and the Southern Beaufort Sea in Canada. Some effects are also being documented in Svalbard and similar observations will likely follow in other populations. Stirling's presentation includes startling facts along with stunning Arctic photos.

but would like to offer a rail to people who would like an am/mm sear style.
otherwise I would shelf the Am/mm style sear rails.
Printable View
I guess I just dont understand why the slot wasnt narrower to accomplish the same effect.
Im really excited to see this progressing how quickly it is.
The zig is .08'' off of the centerline ( i forgot to annotate that.. )
[QUOTE=DarkApollo;2845160]I guess I just dont understand why the slot wasnt narrower to accomplish the same effect.
here is a link with some explanation about tha zig zag sear slot:
how about 03 AKA eyecovers?
and I cant see what is being annotated, it looks like the annotations are on the bottom of the rail.
ill just go back to my drawings and annotate it.
thankyou for the help,
looks like this wont be a fast project.
lol I guess there is this thing called zoom.
on my browser, :D and it was down to 50%
I see the dimensions they have been added to my drawing,
now all I need to do is find out where to put the pin for the am/mm type sears.
thanks again for the help guys.
ill try to print some rails up this weekend.
figured out where everything goes.
just needed to be patient.
Well if you need any more measurements, I have the rail and ULE body in CAD.. I got bored at work.......
print of am/mm long rail in progress.
wish me luck.
Drum roll....
I really cant wait for these.. I want to build a super light mag with the new M86 frame.
so of course the damn gun wont shoot.
here are the videos.
come to find out after attaching the body, frame,valve to a slug rail. come to find out im low on air. ef me.
videos are funny, I say "it will shoot" then it doesn't.
but here are the videos just to give you an idea.
I think im going to take a bansaw to the back end of this rail. since the z-lock channel in the rail dosnt do anything.
how do I know this you say. went to turn the valve and the z-lock pin turned through the rail.
so ill get to cutting the back of this rail off,
then ill set up a second rail to be printed solid.
since this rail only has 20% infill to save time and filament.
***edit: lightning here so no printing till that's passed.
Could you maybe build in a stiffing rod?
Sent you a PM with the idea that I had.
sorry been out for a second doing some prototype work for a friend.
ill be back on my stuff soon.
When you get a free moment PM me, I know something rather simple you could make and sell a bunch of to people in my line of work. It would not require much drawing to make and specs do not have to be perfect. As it would be a clamping design. I can put it on my powder gun and put it through the paces for you. I could guarantee you sales on it
little tester.
filament ran out come to find out the part that actually holds the battery is too big.:D
and I think the front round is off.
making the compartment smaller will allow the dovetail to be the right size. woop for my printer.
apparently I cant pull dimensions worth crap.
my screw holes are all off. have no idea of a better way to get where they are positioned.
need some moreadjustment on the pack. im thinking of combining the bottom with the middle.
kinda frustrating.
great thing about learning is you definitely don't stop
One trick on hole spacing is to measure them 3 or 4 different ways then compare results. I'm overly careful amount reverse engineering parts, because it sucks making a part a dozen times to get it right. Measure, measure, measure, measure again, then one more time to be sure, when your done with all of that, check it again, especially if you generally screw it up (lol) ;)
Don't forget to make sure you calipers are set to zero, plus it wouldn't hurt to check them on a gauge block. You'll pick up tricks as you advance, I'll give you a clue, you can use software to check your drawing against the actual part. :p

Review this album
Aug 2, 2014That Bowie secretly engineered a return to music after a decade's hiatus was sensational news in and of itself. The fact that what was newly on offer was his best work in ages was just icing on the cake. The title track, Love is Lost, How Does the Grass Grow, and You Feel So Lonely You Could Die are the standout songs, but just about everything (save for the filler of Dancing Out In Space) is great stuff. This is Bowie back at the top of his game, or at least as close to it as any 66 year old has any right to be.… Expand
Apr 5, 2014If you take the surprise release element and the hype that came with that aside, your still left with a very solid album and probably his best in about 30 years. In making "The Next Day", Bowie takes the best parts of his 90's and 00' output, distills out the inconsistencies and adds a dollop of modernity and a drop of his vintage best into the mix. The album has several peaks but no real low points and I've grown more fond of it with repeated listens with different tracks standings out at different times. The best thing about the record is that it was essentially made by an OAP, blowing the theory that artists have a finite creative lifespan completely out of the water. The middle section of the album is the strongest in my opinion - I'd rather be high, Boss of Me and Dancing Out in Space seeing Bowie hit a streak of form we've not seen literally in decades.Not his best work but certainly on the next level down.… Expand
Mar 24, 2014I'm immensely glad that Bowie's got a new album, and for the first time in 10 years as well! The Next Day is not just satisfying album, but in a sense, a mind blowing one too. The song structures and the lyrics remain like normal for Bowie, picture perfect in their own weirdness. But in The Next Day I feel there's something new, something Bowie hasn't tried before. Unlike some people, I wouldn't say this was his best since Scary Monsters, but Heroes.… Expand
Mar 12, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love and followed David Bowie's career for over 30 years now and this album left me very disappointed. Most of the tunes are most defiantly original.. but original what? Maybe Bowie is evolving and my meager brain just doesn't comprehend this evolution. When you stack this album against Ziggy, Low, Station to Station or SM and SC it falls very far from the tree. There are a few bright spots..Title song is tight and shows Bowie's awesomeness.. The Stars(are out tonight) and Set the World on Fire are both creative but still nothing to write home about. You feel so lonely is reminiscent of Rock n Roll suicide.. which is the brightest star on this album. Many tunes just don't make sense and are really strange.
I still and always will consider David Bowie one of the greatest songwriters and performers in the entire world. He is the ultimate showman. But I have written better tunes and hopefully I will live long enough to hear him put out another album that Rocks like Old Bowie can rock.… Expand
Jan 20, 2014It's David Bowie, and he still has it. In a big way. There are some very great tracks in here (not all of them, though). The music is diverse and exciting, resulting in quite a rock album. His singing is a joy to listen to. My favorite track, vocally, is "How Does the Grass Grow?". He sounds so energetic. Glad to see him back. Even if the overall output doesn't reach the heights of his work in the 70s, it's pretty good in its own right.… Expand
Jan 4, 2014It is David Bowie. If you need something else let me just tell he is as or more importan for rock and british music than The Beatles. Every year something happens with The Beatles but every time Sir David Bowie delivers something new is a retrospective journey for meny genres. Just how he can kepp writing and reinventig himself, not like McCartney or Bob Dylan.
Jun 15, 2013Bowie is back! The songs are melodically tight, arrangement-wise a treat, and lyrically brilliant Which is the reason we all tuned into Bowie in the first place. It grows with each passing listen Definitely one of 2013's best album, un-expectation and all.
Jun 4, 2013What a great surprise for 2013 The first track I heard was "Where Are They Now". Which was grown on me in the subsequent weeks. There are still more albums in the tank for the "Thin White Duke">
Jun 1, 2013I'm a Bowie fan from before Ziggy Stardust. But "The Next Day" is pure crap. It's one of the most tuneless, soulless, robotic and boring pieces of rubbish to ever pollute the airwaves. It's even worse than that; it's excrutiatingly painful and puke-inducing to listen to. Even the most non-musically-talented garage band can do better than this.
Bowie is the third most brilliant musician to have ever lived (after Pink Floyd and Vangelis). What on earth went wrong?
And why do so many people appear to like this album (or are all the reviewers just paid record company shills)?… Expand
May 4, 2013David Bowie is back to his best with this release in my opinion. This album is more rocky than some of his previous works and the album stands out because of this. My only complaint would be many of the songs sound similar. Apparently 29 tracks were recorded so I really hope these are released as well!
Apr 23, 2013I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that David Bowie was coming out with a new album. And this did not disappoint. The first single, "Where Are We Now", is an amazing and downright beautiful track. I even broke my rule about buying deluxe editions and spent the extra bit of cash for the deluxe edition. The bonus tracks were worth it.
Apr 18, 2013This album contains some good ol' Bowie work turned into a new shape, but new innovative music too. Some songs sounds like the music he did during the eighties, but in better XD. A solid work, a great come back.
Apr 14, 2013Having only heard a few Bowie songs here and there, this was my first time of listening to a full length album. I've been led to believe that it isn't quite like his past work, but as far as I can see, it's ok. There's two bad ones, a few mediocre ones, some very decent ones and some great standouts. Dirty Boys, Love Is Lost, How Does The Grass Grow? and (You Will) Set The World On Fire are definitely the best the album has to offer, You Feel So Lonely You Could Die and Heat are very good and deluxe edition bonus tracks like Plan and God Bless The Girl are worth checking out. Despite all this, there's nothing that completely grips me. I'm not getting all the love for Valentine's Day the final few seconds with the awesome guitar is brilliant, but the rest seems very cheesy to me and Dancing Out In Space is most definitely a track I could've done without. Apart from these two, the piece of work is overall ok. But nowhere near the masterpiece the critics have made it out to be.… Expand
Apr 10, 2013A few bright spots, but i dont think this holds up against the majority of his other (successful) work.
I understand that he's changed and times have changed as well but the band's sound is way too processed/antiseptic and could really benefit from a few adjustments. (although that's also been the case for the last few albums) To draw comparisons, I enjoyed more of Heathen than of this album.. no hate, just underwhelmed.
Also rolled my eyes a little at the uninspired cover… Expand
Apr 4, 2013This album is not the brilliant return to form it's cracked up to be. In fact, for me, it's a sad, disappointing end to a 10 year wait. I'm a well-worn Bowie fan and have been since the 70's but this is not the product of the creative genius he once was. The arrangements are all similar....there are no decent melodies, the lyrics are just plain weird. It sounds like all the instrumental tracks were recorded in about 3 days....they're all virtually the same. Then...Bowie just improvises a tune over the top....and I use the word 'tune' loosely. Even the packaging has almost illegible writing just to prolong the agony. Bowie's stuff is treated like The Emperor's New Clothes. None of the media want to say it like it is. For me, this album is simply light-years away from his best material....they're not really songs at all. So much repetition, no soaring choruses or clever chord changes. And to think this has all been kept under wraps until January making us all think this is a masterpiece. Very wide of the mark. He once made an album called 'Never Let Me Down.' Well I paid £13 for the album so I've done my bit.....a shame it wasn't reciprocated.… Expand
Apr 2, 2013What can I say about the last album from one of my musical Heroes... Talking about Heroes. I can hear some kind of Heroes stuff in The Next Day. I can hear something of Ziggy, Scary Monsters, Reality, Low or Hunky Dory. In summary, a complex mixture of styles and a nice review of his career. Nice to listen. Obviously is not Bowie at his best, but is a better Bowie than Outside one or Heathen one. Not a classic, but probably better than any 2013 album of any pop/rock world star.… Expand
Mar 31, 2013After 10 years David Bowie releases his new album 'The Next Day'; an experimental collection of songs that are the best in his catalogue of material and the best since 'Scary Monsters...' 33 years ago. After some disappointing work in the 90s and early 2000s this is a return to form for Bowie and is the greatest comeback album for any act of the past decade. From nostalgic ballads (Where Are We Now) to songs from the perspective of school shooters and WW2 soldiers (Valentine's Day and I'd Rather Be High respectively) this is Bowie at his most creative and innovative. Expect more of this in the future.… Expand
Mar 29, 2013In a surprise release in January and again, in March, David Bowie has revealed his first album in 10 years. It is proclaimed by critics to be his best in 30 years. It may well be.
Let's put this in perspective. 1983 was the year that Bowie released Let's Dance. It was a good album containing at least five good songs (out of a total of 8 songs) including Modern Love, China Girl, Let's Dance and Cat People. Since that time, Bowie has released 10 albums. Most of them were interesting but none of them came close to the accessibility and intrigue of his earlier work. Sorry David; the truth is sometimes painful.
One other part of this perspective is that David Bowie is the man who, in one five year period released Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans and his Berlin Trilogy (Station to Station, Low, Heroes). Each of these albums were remarkable the totality of them was just short of amazing. They boasted great riffs, original sounds, fascinating lyrics and groundbreaking personalities.
We now fast forward to the present day and Bowie offers us all a 66th birthday gift. The fact that he allows us all to listen to the album for free during a two week period prior to its release makes the gift that much more special. It's an unusually prolific album boasting 14 songs. Some border on great (Where Are We Now, The Stars, Valentine's Day, I'd Rather Be High), some are excellently crafted pop songs (Love is Lost, Dancing Out in Space, How Does the Grass Grow, You Feel So Lonely You Could Die). It's an album that begs to be listened to repeatedly much like his best albums of the past. One of the best tracks is a bonus track "I'll Take You There". GREAT bonus track!
It's shortcomings? It is largely derivative. Rather than breaking new sonic ground, Bowie pulls from his Honky Dory/Diamond Dogs/Low/Scary Monster catalogue of sound and fury. It is also not as catchy as some of his greatest albums. Only a few of the songs resonate in my head after listening. Still, this is a truly wonderful gift that Bowie has presented to us all. It'll keep your ears happy for many weeks/months/years.
Thank you David!… Expand
Mar 28, 2013I liked David Bowie's older material but this album I just did not enjoy in the slightest. The song tempos are too slow, the lyrics are forgettable and the pacing was bad. Was just not my cup of tea.
Mar 24, 2013I love just about every period in David Bowie's shifting musical history, excluding those four years between 1984 and 1988, a period I try not to think too much about. Bowie hasn't put an album out during most of my adult life, so most of my appreciation for him has been in retrospect. This is why I was thrilled to hear about "The Next Day." Where does this new album fit in? While the album cover references his classic "Heroes", this album isn't nearly so artfully crafted. It sounds raw and almost anti-melodic in places. In that way its much more like "Heroes"'s follow up album, "Lodger". It doesn't sound like a 'comeback' album. That is not to say that it isn't very good. Bowie is 66 years old, with one of the most influential canons in music history and £100 Million. He doesn't need to do a 'comeback' album. What he's put out instead is something similar to his last two efforts, an album that is both reflective and experimental. There are parts of the album that thrill me, and there are parts that confuse me, but there's nothing there that's just boring.… Expand
Mar 21, 2013I love PJ Harvey. I love Nick Cave and Jack White. They have each released an album recently, and they're all incredible. I only bring that up here because I want to emphasize that David Bowie has released the best album I have heard in a very long time. Every song, in its own way, is brilliant. I don't have the time to go into a rant about how much I hate music critics: a bunch of worthless upper-middle-class folks who try but fail to make up in knowledge of the subject what they lack in human experience, but an 84 for this album is an insult. This is, after only a few listens, one of my favorite Bowie albums. I love Ziggy Stardust, I love Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Daimond Dogs, Lodger, Station to Station, Heroes, Scary Monsters, and I love The Next Day. If you love Bowie, you will be, as I was, ecstatic. I had hope, but still relatively low expectations for this album. I was very, very wrong. Buy it. If you're a fan of what Bowie does, and that goes much deeper than you might think, then you will love this album. It's F***ing GREAT!!! P.S. Someone called this album dull. I don't know what he listens to, maybe dance music or something, but as far a good music goes, there is not a dull moment on the record. I can't get my head around someone who listens to this and thinks "booooring...". Maybe he's a meth addict (just a joke, by the way. Don't get upset.) But this is every bit as energizing, hook-filled, and entertaining as any of Bowie's other classics, so I just do not get the "dull" thing. In about 6 or 7 listens, I've only felt that it got better, and even from the first, I never thought it dull. It's just very strange to me.… Expand
Mar 19, 2013I've been a Bowie fan for almost exactly 30 years now. The Next Day just leaves me flat. Compared to his works such as Scary Monsters, Low, Hours etc this album just seems plain dull. It jumps around all over the place, almost like Bowie is riffing on his entire catalogue in an effort to "round things up". Bowie has sure had his highs (Scary Monsters, Low) and his lows (Tin Machine, anything in the mid to late 80s) but sadly The Next Day isn't the Bowie I've come to know and love. The album's only saving grace is a single track, Valentine's Day. And the album cover.. sorry.. not clever at all.… Expand
Mar 18, 2013Avant-grade rock/pop is nice. David Bowie did made a comeback, although not fully perfect, it is good from his previous work. But I wouldn't be singing along with him the whole time though. Despite its concept, I find it...average.
Mar 17, 2013I've never properly listened to David Bowie, but giving this record a few listens has made me reconsider listening to a lot of his older work. The Next Day shows a much older Bowie seeming to come to grips with his life, and reminiscing about his earlier youth. Each track shows a man that's been in the music business for over 4 decades. All In All, David Bowie sounds distant, yet completely intoxicating on The Next Day.… Expand
Mar 17, 2013Sadly, there nothing special about this album except it is Bowie's return. I am glad he is back and his voice sounds great. The production is professional and everything is done like the pro he is. However, there is nothing memorable here that makes one scream out to play a certain track again. It is frankly a boring CD. You will put it on the in the rack after the third listen. Now that he is back, may the next one contain some rock and roll.… Collapse
Mar 16, 2013I really, really don't know what all the fuss is about. This is a very dull album indeed in my opinion. Bowie is lionized to such a degree that he is now beyond reproach in the minds of fans and critics alike.
Mar 14, 2013A brilliant treat from an enduring original. It's all about what was once known as "Album Oriented Rock" While there is no clear chart topping hit, every song works towards the creation of a greater whole. Each listen, three as of this writing, gives me something new to appreciate and I'm getting right back in there as soon as I'm done here. It's been far too long an absence of Bowie from the musical zeitgeist and he's back with some really thoughtful, topical lyrics and a great band of musical co conspirators. Haven't heard anything nearly as compelling for over a decade from the corporate wasteland of well hyped mediocrity… Expand
Mar 14, 2013I might say something like this is his best album since Scary Monsters but the truth is I will only listen to Scary Monsters maybe once or twice a year. And like The Next Day, I bought that album the day it came out. So I've had a lot of time with it. No, I would have to say this is his best album since "Heroes". I can listen to that album 20, 30 times a year. I've already listened to The Next Day 7 or 8 times and it just gets better and better. It's already like a dear friend. I have nothing intellectual to offer, just that. It may end up, in a way, being my favorite Bowie album. Kind of like Iggy's, New Values. It may not be his best but it's the one I listen to the most. If you don't have The Next Day yet well, get on it!… Expand
Mar 13, 2013Is it his best work? No. But I think the fact that at age 66 and after a 10 year hiatus he made the kind of record everyone was hoping would follow Scary Monsters makes it all the more remarkable. It's an undeniably great album, by any measure. The fact that a) he was thought to be retired and/or dying and that b) he spent nearly 20 years making fairly mediocre albums is contributing to the hysteria. I say this as someone who considers Bowie to be one of his all time favourite artists. Don't get me wrong, there have been some great individual tracks, but this is the first record since Black Tie White Noise that I can listen to without skipping any tracks.… Expand
Mar 12, 2013I'm on about my 6th or 7th listen. "The Next Day" and "Where Are We Now?" rank as two of Bowie's best songs. I like "I'd Rather Be High" and to some degree "The Stars Are Out Tonight", which I imagine the public will like best. After that it's a whole lot of rinky-dink filler tunes and the last few songs just end the whole record on a sad and sorry wimper. The title track should come last because it rages against the dying of the light. The praise for this record is a little overblown. 4 good songs, the rest is filler. About as good as you can hope for these days.… Expand
Mar 12, 2013After a few listens it was clear there were some exceptional good songs on this album. Some have mentioned in other reviews that this album sounds like other Bowie albums. I have to ask, "is that really a bad thing?" Of course not, Bowie had some remarkable work. Still when one listens to an album, one wants to hear variety. This album does not fail to provide that. There is a nice mix of mid-tempo, ballad and higher rockers. For some of us, a mixture is necessary. I can't always take several high intensity songs back to back, nor can I listen to so many slow pace songs that sleep overtakes me. As for genres of music, one can hear rock, alternative, pop and even a slightly jazzy mix in the second song on the album. There are traditional compositions of basic guitar and drums, more elaborate orchestra arrangements with synths and horns, and even a song or two with relatively stripped down acoustics. Don't let that fool you, basic composition does not not mean mundane or redundant. You are not listening to the same songs over and over with just different words. Bowie puts a different enough spin on each song, the uniqueness of each shines through. Speaking of words, Bowie packs a lot into the lyrics. Some of the songs play like Bowie's Bewley Brothers or Quicksand with heavy references to philosophy, history, and past and current culture. However, Bowie fans of old will find this a step forward (or rather backward) to some of Bowie's best albums of the past.… Expand
Mar 12, 2013Even though I'm a die-hard David Bowie fanatic (I've even forgiven him for Tin Machine...), I must say I was a bit nervous/hesitant when I heard about this album being released. However, when I heard the lead-off single, I was quite relieved. I pre-ordered the CD and streamed it. This new release confirmed my hopes & desires for something awesome from Mr. Jones. I highly recommend buying this release. I'm debating getting a copy on vinyl when it's released in that format later this month.… Expand
Mar 12, 2013At first i missed an experimental avantgarde sound, but the more i listen, the more it´s great. i guess it´ll follow me a longer time with it´s catchy melodies and fresh energy.
Jun 6, 2013A vintage Bowie album for vintage Bowie people, of whom there are many; a reflection on his own journey and also on ours. [Apr 2013, p.92]
Jun 4, 2013The Next Day is certainly his most engaging and intriguing since Outside. For now, that's more than enough.
May 2, 2013His innovative days may be long behind him, but Bowie's melodic gifts remain undiminished and his lyrics appropriately ambiguous.

WASHINGTON - In a well-connected world, more and more people are skipping the office commute and opting to plug-in at home.
It is estimated that between 16 and 30 million Americans telecommute - at least some of the time.
According to Janet Bodnar, editor of Kiplinger Personal Finance, telecommuting is a situation that can benefit both the employee and the employer.
"You obviously have far fewer interruptions than you would at the office," explains Bodnar. "As a result, your boss gets more work out of you."
Working from home can also mean lower costs for employers and employees. With fewer people reporting to a physical office, employers require less space. Additionally, employees can bank thousands of dollars by telecommuting.
"You can save between $2,000 and $7,000 annually in transportation and other work- related costs," says Bodnar.
However, telecommuting is not for everyone. Bodnar explains that working from home is best-suited for those who are proactive, self-starting and self-disciplined.
"You have to have really good time management skills," she says.
When an employee discusses the option of telecommuting with a supervisor or boss, they should have a strategy mapped out to show how the transition will improve efficiency while lowering expenses.
"It can be a win-win situation," says Bodnar.

GREAT POST! My thoughts: OUTLAW EVERYTHING ABOVE E-10!!! E-10 reduces the amount of poisonous carbon monoxide produced by ALL internal combustion gasoline engines. Any increased amounts of ethanol is worse than a waste of food and feed. We should ALL be doing everything possible to promote the use of abundant, cheap and clean American natural gas as our PRIMARY alternative to oil based fuels. North America could become energy independent and not have to worry about our enemies in Iran, Venezuela and the rest of OPEC. "Motorists would save the equivalent of $1.50 to $2 per gallon on fuel, cars would pollute less and America would produce its own energy..." TRUE!!!

I tank two handed Frost and this is my spec; it works for me. You really should take Improved Frost Presence - you want the damage reduction. Runic Power Mastery is a bit of a waste and I'm not really big on Endless Winter, the Strength is okay but I personally like Merciless Combat. I found that Chill of the Grave and Scent of Blood to be a bit of overkill, so I stayed with Chill of the Grave.
Now we wait for the Trade Chat crowd to say that if you tank in Frost you have to dual wield - which is far from true.

Our eyes have already been spoilt with oodles of Jubilee finery this weekend - hello Queen Liz in sparkles! Wills and Hottie Harry in uniform! Kate Middleton in McQueen, McQueen and more McQueen! - to name but a few. Then the snaps from the CFDA Fashion Awards landed and we're perilously close to a fab frock overload.
Host-with-the-most Seth Meyers parodies Marc Jacobs
But that's not gonna stop us! And you'll understand why when we reveal that the swanky event, which took place in New York last night, saw an Olsen double whammy, a droolsome Kate Bosworth sighting, one of the Fanning sisters working Proenza Schouler AND host Seth Meyers parodying Marc Jacobs' Met Ball ensemble. So you see, we couldn't *possibly* let this one slide - Jubilee hangover or no.
The Olsen twins pick up their award
In fact, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were the stars of the night. During the CFDAs ceremony (that's the Council of Fashion Designers of America, keep up), the gorgeous twinsome scooped the Womenswear Designer of the Year gong. Bravo! They beat off stiff competition from Marc Jacobs as well as Proenza Schouler to pick up the accolade for their label The Row, which launched in 2007, and took to the stage wearing their own designs (natch). They adorably thanked one another in their acceptance speech and Ashley even gave MK a sisterly pat on the cheek. All together now: awwww.
Lily Collins works a Marchesa number
So who else was crowned CFDA winner? Well, recipients of the Swarovski Awards for Emerging Talent were our very own Brit shoe maestro Tabitha Simmons for accessories, Phillip Lim for menswear and Joseph Altuzarra for womenswear. Reed Krakoff was named the Accessories Designer of the Year while street style photographers Scott Schuman and Garance Doré scooped the Media Award.
There was one man noticeably absent from the fashion-y affair – one Johnny Depp. The Hollywood actor was due to pick up the Fashion Icon Award thanks to his outstanding style through the years (yep, including that often questionable headgear) but unfortunately couldn't make it. We sob.
But fear not! There were more than enough gorgeous gowns to make up for the lack of eye candy so perk up those peepers, pull on your Fashion Jury fascinators and prepare to meet the best dressed from the CFDAs courtesy of our mammoth gallery above. We'll see you on the other side.

Jaco Pastorius redefined the voice of the bass and the role of the bassist for generations of players, merging the worlds of R&B, rock, jazz, classical and Caribbean music and reshaping the musical landscape with his visionary approach to the instrument. And he did it all with a Fender Jazz Bass® guitar. Pastorius' unmistakable voice and signature sound came from his mind, his hand and his sunburst fretless Jazz Bass, recreated here as the Fender Jaco Pastorius Jazz Bass guitar. Features include an alder body, C-shaped maple neck with side dots centered on the fret lines, pau ferro fingerboard, vintage-style single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, vintage-style reverse tuners, knurled chrome Precision Bass® knobs and commemorative Pastorius neck plate. Deluxe brown hard-shell case, strap and cable included.

I got my Jaco bass some years ago , the first thing I did was replace the singlecoil pickups with Fender vintage noiseless pickups. Great move, better tone and no noise!
I also replaced the bridge with a 203 with brass saddles, better sustain and faster attack.
After a few years the polyester on the fingerboard wore through in places and need to be redone. I decided to have it taken down to the Pau Ferro. Another great move, feels better under your fingers and sounds much better too. I use Dean Markley blue steel nickel wound and play this bass a lot, the fingerboard has hardly worn in the 2 or 3 years since I got this done. More recently I installed an EMG active tone control to convert the bass to low impedance, Now I get that great Mingus DI sound straight into a mover for recording. Going active opens up the lows and highs, sounds even better than before and not an obviously active sound, very organic sound and real soulful.
The nitro finish on the body is wearing where I rest my thumb in a very cool way showing my preference for hand right hand positions.
These basses are premium and are really well made from select woods, if you get one and have it set up properly they're amazing and very responsive to play. I go for a Jaco vibe but other tones are there, just a really great Fender bass, I love mine!

This was my first fretless bass and I have to say that not only am I impressed, as always, with the quality, but I wish it hadn't taken me 35 years to try fretless.

I love this Bass!! From the gorgeous 3 tone sunburst finish, full sounding Single coil vintage pick ups, smooth fast playing aged finish neck with Pau Ferro Fret board, I also like how Fender put the side marker dots on the fret lines. (for those who have never played a fretless, you have to play your notes on the fret line & this makes it easy)
This bass also has a great vintage feel, the Jaco Fretless Jazz Bass comes with a Vintage style American made G&G light Brown vintage case with plush interior. Inside the case there's a vintage style strap & a cable. You also get the following unmounted items, a vintage pick up cover, a bridge cover with mutes & a tortoise shell pick guard ...... Nice Touch & a great Bass that honors a great Bass legend.

I do not own an actual 1962 Jazz Bass, so I can't compare this reissue to an actual vintage bass. I own a 1977, and have owned a 1983 Jazz as well. This bass is well built, light and very resonant. The pick-ups sound very full, the neck feels wonderful and fast. and the nickle plating is a wonderful alternative to cold chrome. The semi figurative grain on the body showed beautifully through the well applied transparent sunburst. I am not sure why Fender used Pau Ferro as a finger board wood since Fender did not offer such an option in 1962, though I do know it is better tone wise(for fret-less) than rosewood. Not sure as to why, but many luthiers choose Pau Ferro for that very application. Having a coated fingerboard certainly helps against wear, though I believe Fender really should have used a thick, tougher epoxy like Jaco did, and not the poly varnish they decided upon. Using round wound strings (like Jaco, he never used flat wounds!!!!) the varnish began to chip and flake off. Not really acceptable in a passive, standard wood bass that retails for well over $2000. I found the nut was not at all well cut: a properly filed nut is very critical in a fretless, especially if you are seeking the "mwah" tone Jaco is known for. The mwah factor comes from the string buzzing evenly along the finger board. I also found the fingerboard to be improperly planed, having what I can describe as a "hump" at the body end of the neck. To have a proper fretless set-up you need a very straight neck with as little relief as possible. This was not possible so I had Harris Thor re-plane the neck and coat the finger board with proper epoxy. The Custom Shop Jaco bass is coated with epoxy, not poly, BTW. Overall a great instrument but at this price point Fender seriously needs to pay attention to the details. It is what makes an expensive instrument desirable, and why they cost so much! That being said, I will never sell my bass now that it is playing as it should; I still grin when I pick it up.
