Bubble Jet Set Requires Careful Handling
|September 10, 2001
|in Product Reviews
A review of
from C. Jenkins Necktie Co.
I see Bubble Jet Set everywhere I see printing photos on fabric mentioned. So I thought I'd see how it worked.
I asked my friend Lorraine, who had tried it. She said that she didn't get very good results using her printer. But she got good results using her daughter's printer.
So I decided to try my printer, too. I have a Lexmark Z51. And to collect more data, I had my friend Marilyn run a test on her Hewlett Packard DeskJet 820 cxi. I was surprised at the results.
Treating The Fabric
I began my testing by cutting a yard of Springmaid Southern Belle, a very white, fine weave fabric. I used one quarter of the 32-ounce bottle of Bubble Jet Set to saturate my fabric, as directed. Then I hung the fabric in the basement to dry overnight.
The next day I cut pieces of freezer paper to iron onto my fabric treated with Bubble Jet Set. I cut eight 8-1/2 by 11-inch "pages" from half the fabric for my test.
I took two pages to Marilyn and asked her to print color photos on one page and black-and-white photos on the other. Both printed pretty well. The colors were good. The black-and-white photos were crisp.
Next, I spent lots of time on the Internet selecting six photos to test my Lexmark Z51. I chose two shots of people: Trent Lott with a light background and an model with a dark background.
I chose two photos with red: a football player in a red jersey and a field of red tulips.
I chose one photo with a blue background: a snorkeller with a shark. And I chose a bouquet of yellow and purple flowers with green leaves. Finally, I chose one black and white photo.
Print, Then Wash
I printed one page of my six color photos for the test. And I printed the black and white photo on another page.
Then it was time to wash all the pages of photos, both mine and Marilyn's. The instructions on the bottle say to "machine wash on delicate cycle with a mild detergent. For best results wash with Bubble Jet Rinse."
I didn't want to put just four pages of fabric in the washing machine, so I washed them by hand. I used Orvis, a gentle product sold in quilt shops for washing quilt fabric. I washed the fabric thoroughly for a few minutes, then rinsed well.
Marilyn's HP Deskjet photos came out fine. The color was good, with no noticeable degradation.
But all the Lexmark photos were washed out. The red in the football jersey and the tulips turned to a medium salmon color, and the red-headed model was a brunette.
The blue was unchanged, and the other colors were pretty good, but not as clear and bright as they had been.
Back To The Drawing Board
Now I had a challenge — I had to figure out how to wash the Lexmark photos without fading them.
I printed my last two prepared pages with the same six photos. I cut each photo in half so I could test three different options. I kept one half of one set unwashed to use as a control print to accurately gauge any changes in the colors.
I washed one set in a regular laundry detergent with no perfumes or dyes. The next set I washed in Arm & Hammer Washing Soda (which is just sodium carbonate). I chose this product because it is used in setting dyes when using MX fiber reactive dyes for fabric.
The final set of photos I heat set using an iron, then washed in the regular laundry detergent.
Better Results
To my surprise, all three of these tests came out better than the Orvis wash.
The washing soda test photos came out slightly bluer. The color change is so slight that I don't think it would have been noticeable if I hadn't spent time in a photography darkroom in a previous life.
The regular detergent samples, including the ones that had been heat set, had lost some of the red, turning the flowers and jersey a little more orange. But the heat set samples produced the best skin tones.
Questions And Answers
To check my findings, I called the phone number on the Bubble Jet Set bottle. I'm glad I did. I spoke to Jerome, "the answer guy," who had good answers to all my questions.
Question: I used about a quarter of a 32-ounce bottle for one yard of fabric. Does that seem about right?
Jerome's answer: You should get forty to fifty 8 1/2 by 11-inch pages from one 32-ounce bottle. Most people cut their fabric into sheets before they use Bubble Jet Set.
My comments: I got 16 pages from one yard of fabric. That would give me 64 pages per bottle, so maybe I wasn't using quite enough Bubble Jet Set. But I still wouldn't cut my fabric into pages first — it is easier to hang a one-yard piece on the clothesline.
Question: I let it drip dry and caught the drippings in a clean plastic container. Should I throw away the drippings, or can I add them back into the bottle to be used again?
Jerome's answer: You can pour any remaining Bubble Jet Set back into the bottle to use again.
Heat Set?
Question: It doesn't say anywhere how the product will react to heat. Can I (and should I) heat set the photos I printed?
Jerome's answer: No. Finish processing as stated. Let it air dry.
Question: I hung the fabric after the cold water wash. Could I have put it in the clothes dryer?
Jerome's answer: Not until after all the processing is complete. If you need to dry it in a hurry, use a blow dryer. After all the processing is complete, it should be like any other fabric in your quilt.
My comments: I put my photos on the ironing board and put the fan blowing directly on them to dry.
Question: When I give my quilt as a gift, do I need to include special washing instructions to protect the Bubble-Jet-Set-treated fabric?
Jerome's answer: Once all the initial processing is done, the fabric can be treated just like any other piece of fabric. Regular washing and drying is OK.
More Bubble Jet Set Tips
In addition to answering my questions, Jerome also had these other tips for using Bubble Jet Set 2000:
- If you are going to wash out the Bubble Jet Set by hand, wash it for at least four minutes, working it around real well. If you don't, it will bleed.
- You may have to use a milder detergent, like dishwashing liquid. Or you could use Bubble Jet Rinse. It attracts waxes and chemicals in fabrics, but not inks and dyes. Your photos will look better doing your final rinse using this product than with other detergents.
And I have one final tip for you. If you use Bubble Jet Set and find you have a question, watch out for that e-mail address on the bottle. It appears to be email@example.com (they print it in all lower case, however), but it's not! It's firstname.lastname@example.com (letter "I" followed by numeral "1″, not letter "L").
Because the address on the bottle is so unclear, I sent them e-mail that never arrived — don't you make the same mistake!
This was a fun set of tests! And now I have all these photos on fabric. Would anyone like a faded photo of Trent Lott?

I'd heard of this product, but had in my mind that it was some "set" of chemicals and/or fabrics and/or paper. I thought there was something terribly complicated to this whole process.
I've been wanting to make some quilts with photos but thought I'd have to spend a small fortune and several weeks
just to get started. But thanks to your review, I now know exactly what to do
Thank you so much!

Bubble Jet Set is not easy to use, as it is very toxic. I find it very hard on me and have found that Downy fabric softener concentrate is just as good to set the dye ink in inkjet printers.

Judy M. writes:
After reading your review on Bubble Jet Set, I am convinced that using photo transfer paper on good-quality material is easier and more fool proof.
I just finished making for my dancing instructor (who is retiring in December) a memory quilt with pictures of all the different places we danced and trips the troupe took.
Using photo transfer paper, I had only one bad transfer, and that was my own fault — I did not iron it on long enough. And I didn't have to wait as long to find my disaster.

A Quilter's Review reader writes:
I read the article on printing photos using Bubble Jet Set 2000. My question is whether I should pre-wash my fabric before soaking it in Bubble Jet Set.
September 12, 2001
Sharon replies:
The directions do not say "Pre-wash your fabric" on the Bubble Jet Set label, so I didn't. It has been my experience that it would be printed in the directions if it were necessary to remove any sizing before use.
When dying or painting fabric, pre-washing is required because you are trying to change the color of the threads that make up the fabric. But applying printer ink or copier transfers to the surface of the fabric usually works better if the fabric is used from the bolt without any pre-processing.

A Quilter's Review reader writes:
I am in the process of making a memory quilt for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. While trying to decide which method of photo transfer to use, I tried Bubble Jet Set along with various photo transfer papers.
I used an HP 822 Bubble Jet printer and I tried two tests. After preparing the fabric per instructions, I printed three photos on one page using the normal photo setting.
Then, on a second page I printed the same photos using the printer's Transparency setting. Upon first viewing the printed photos, the ones from the Transparency setting were much too dark.
Then I cut each set of photos in half and washed one half in the washing machine. The photos printed with the normal photo setting faded significantly. The photos printed with the Transparency setting faded to look like the original unwashed version of the photos printed with the regular photo setting.
The one thing I really like about photos done with Bubble Jet Set is that the fabric remains soft. All of the photo transfer paper that I have used leaves the fabric feeling like plastic.

Barbara D. writes:
I only sell Bubble Jet Set in my store. I found that transfer papers leave a residue the size of the paper that was ironed on, regardless of how large the actual picture was. That residue yellows and cracks with age.
As I always say, "You don't hose down an oil painting, so why would you throw a memory quilt into the wash?" Most are hung vertically, you can just vacuum them with an upholstery attachment. Why do quilters always think things have to be machine washable?
I love Bubble Jet Set and won't use or sell anything else!
October 22, 2001
Heather F. writes:
Bubble Jet Set 2000 was painless to use and the results from my HP DeskJet 722C were terrific! I have only one gripe about using this method rather than photo transfers (no reflection on Bubble Jet Set 2000) — bright light or sunlight fades inkjet pictures, where good quality transfers are lightfast (based on my own experiences).
If they could only get printer ink to be lightfast, I'd never use a transfer again, as the soft, natural-looking results from printing directly on the fabric are far superior in my opinion than the thicker, plastic-like results of using the transfer method.
October 22, 2001
Jeanne H. writes:
I have made hundreds and hundreds of photo transfers — several quilts' worth. After several years, I am finding that the photos are cracking and are no longer nice if the quilts are used — not washed much, just used. For instance my son carries his folded to the inside, but uses it in his truck.
So I was just about to try Bubble Jet Set when you reviewed it. My question is, has anyone tried this product on a quilt or t-shirt that one actually uses? Or are all these successes just for wallhangings?
October 23, 2001
Carol R. writes:
I have used Bubble Jet Set and have had nothing but fabulous results. In test washing with regular laundry soap I had no visible fading of the picture. I have also tried hand washing with the same results. Also, the fabric stays soft, not stiff as when using transfers.

Jane K. writes:
I used Bubble Jet Set 2000 for my mother-in-laws's 90th birthday memory quilt with great results. I cut my fabric 8 1/2″ x 11″ before soaking it in the solution. Then I ironed it onto freezer paper also cut this size.
I have a Hewlett-Packard Deskjet 882c. The pictures turned out great. I just had to watch that the fabric was well fused to the freezer paper so that the fabric wouldn't peel off on the printer's roller. If it does, you've got big trouble!

I am making a family quilt, my pictures are old however, witht he BJ they look fine, I just noticed one of the pictures is all smeared, non of the others are and they were no near water, I'm not sure if I washed the fabric after putting on the BJ, I think I dried the BJ and thought you need it in the fabric to copy the pictures. Should have I "washed" the BJ after it was dry? Thank you so much for your response. Yvonne

I am making my grandson a memory quilt of his activities of his senior year in high school. I used some photo transfer paper with a HP printer of one activity and plan to make some more. The other squares are machine embroidry. The picture is fine, but I got to wondering if it would fade if it was washed. So I tested a sample and the color all washed out except the black. Is there any way I can treat the photo transfer pictures after the square is printed so that they are color fast?

In our country this is a culinary staple. It is a time consuming meal but so worth it. When families make this, it's usually for special occacions and family gatherings. Since it takes a long time to cook, usually we make it while the guests are present so they can sit back and enjoy some cold beers (and keep you company!) ;) You can omit the ribs, sausage and goat if it's too expensive but at least keep the 5. Recipezaar doesn't recognize niame, so I put yam...but it's not your typical yam. Go to a fresh market store that carries imported roots to find the niame. The Bitter or Seville orange can be hard to find, It's preferred fresh but Goya sells a bottled type. You may also omit it if you want.

Most of the time, when you try to make a healthier version of a favourite junk food, you end up eating a bland and unfulfilling imitation of your favourite calorie-laden treat. Luckily, that is not the case with this recipe. Okay, it's not exactly the same as eating hot wings with blue cheese dip, but the dish is flavourful and pleasing and will satisfy your cravings when you can't make it to the pub. The spicy escarole (or in our case, romaine, because we couldn't find escarole) was a unique side dish that complemented the main course very well. We will definitely be making this again.
If you want to try it yourself. . .
Buffalo Chicken with Buttermilk Feta Sauce (source: Clean Eating magazine)
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek-style yogurt
2 Tbsp. nonfat buttermilk (substitution: 1 cup milk + 1 Tbsp. vinegar or lemon juice, let stand for 10 minutes)
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
1/3 cup low-fat feta cheese, crumbled
3 green onions, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 tsp. sea salt
4 Tbsp. hot sauce
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. paprika
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 lbs.), each cut into 2 3-inch pieces)
Olive oil cooking spray
- In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, buttermilk, vinegar, feta, onions and salt. Cover and refrigerate mixture until ready to serve for up to 2 days.
- In a small bowl, combine hot sauce, oil and paprika.
- Place chicken in a large shallow dish. Pour hot sauce mixture over chicken, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes at room-temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400F. Mist a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Remove chicken from hot sauce marinade, discarding marinade, and place chicken on baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (no need to flip). Top with buttermilk-feta sauce, dividing evenly, or pour sauce into a separate bowl for dipping. Serve with Spicy Escarole (see recipe below).
Spicy Escarole (source: Clean Eating magazine)
2 tsp. olive oil
1 head escarole, cored and coarsely chopped (Note: escarole is a type of endive characterized by wide pale-green leaves)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. hot sauce
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds, toasted
- Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add escarole and saute for 5 minutes or until slightly wilted.

Sprinkle pepper flakes and sesame seeds over top and serve immediately with Buffalo Chicken.
Makes 6 servings.
Hands on time: 20 minutes. Total time: 1 hour.

Meet Tessa Parks! My new principal model!
I've had the pleasure of working with Tessa twice now and I must say, I'm smitten! For someone who doesn't take modeling super serious, she's seriously super! I thought I'd take a moment to introduce you all to the new face of Leopard and Lace (why do I keep rhyming?) since you'll be seeing much much more of her in the future! Meet Tessa...
Stef: When did you discover that you wanted to model? How old were you?
Tessa: I was 14 when I realized I really wanted to model, I was agency represented from 14-16. My agent wanted me to go to Paris to further pursue it, but I never went (kicking myself for that one now!). At 16 I still loved modeling, but wanted to spend the weekends doing teen stuff like being a mall rat, drinking slurpees, and having sleepovers where we made up dance routines to Backstreet Boys, so I quit for awhile. I got back into it more recently and absolutely love doing it.
Stef: Describe your first professional photo shoot.
Tessa:My first professional photo shoot was sooo exciting! I shot with a woman (I believe her name was Annie Griffiths but don't hold me to that!) who did a lot of work for National Geographic, among other popular magazines. At 14, I was pretty nervous, but loosened up some as the shoot went on. The shoot was fun and bubbly with lots of bright colors. I remember I wore white knee socks, a purple floral skirt, and a purple tank top for one of the looks. We just went around town and shot with random things: a tree stump, a purple door, etc. She could have photographed me in front of a port-a-potty and I would have been happy.
Stef: If you could shoot with one of your dream photographers, who would it be? Same question, but with a collaborative model.
Tessa: My dream photographer is probably James Hickey. He really has an eye for detail ! I also really like Ama Lea. The colors in her photos really pop and she is known to do pinup style shoots, which I have a soft spot for! As for models, I really love Devon Aoki. She is adorable and exotic all in one. She is total opposite of me in looks and I think that could be a cool shoot.
Stef: What is your dream concept for a shoot?
Tessa: I have so many concepts flooding my brain it's hard to pick just one. However, I have played the piano for many years and would love to do a shoot in the middle of a field or a desert somewhere with a grand piano and an elegant dress.. I have also secretly always wanted to do a Star Wars themed shoot-I kid you not. I am a super nerd.
Stef: Is modeling a hobby for you or do you intend to pursue it as a career?
Tessa: Right now it's just a hobby for me. I have a full time job and bills have to get paid! But in my fantasy world I would be doing this full time with a steady paycheck. Modeling really is an art form. It allows me to come up with different facial expressions and poses, as well as create characters. It really is like acting in a way. My goal with modeling is to just have fun and share the creative side of it with everyone out there!
Stef: How did you stumble upon Leopard and Lace's website?
Tessa: Well, I am a member of modelmayhem.com, and I was searching clothing designers in my area one day. Toxic Shock Apparel popped up with these fantastically vivid colors and patterns in the clothing. I had to know more! From there my facebook stalking skills came to good use (haha, kidding...?) and I found Toxic Shock Apparel's facebook page. I fell in love with the wild, fun, flirty designs! I'm so stoked I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Stephanie and wear her designs!
Stef:Have an suggestions for young, aspiring models out there?
Tessa: My advice to aspiring models: 1. Have an open mind. There are many modeling avenues, not just "high fashion" where you might be pressured to be a size negative zero and 6 feet tall. Consider commercial, print, fitness, petite, plus size, alternative etc. While skinny and tall is still in, you have other options!
2. Never compromise your beliefs or who you are as a person just to get your photograph made. There are many creepers who will try to make you think you will become famous if you take your shirt off. Don't fall for it! Always research the photographer and try to get contacts of other clients he/she has worked with. If they truly aren't creepers, they won't mind!
3. Eat foooood!
Stef: What is something you would absolutely not do in modeling (ie nude, fetish, weird bendy poses!?)
Tessa: I am pretty open minded in many ways, however I would never consider doing any type of nude photography. I think that some nude photos can be tastefully done, but it's just not my cup of tea!
Stef: In your opinion, what are the qualities a good model should possess?
Tessa: A good model should possess an open mind, thoughtfulness, a sense of humor, confidence, creativity, and humbleness. There are tons of models out there who develop quite the ego and only care about themselves. DO NOT BECOME THIS! Photographers, designers, stylists, and other models do not appreciate a model with an attitude who thinks they are the shiznit. It's not that serious. :)

2000 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
What is the Future of Distance Education, the Internet, And Web-based Education in Respiratory Care?
William J. Malley, MS RRT Western Pennsylvania Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
When Dr. Fred Helmholz and colleagues established accreditation standards for the new field of inhalation therapy, did their crystal balls reveal an educational system routinely using the World Wide Web, computerized clinical simulations, satellite case study telecasts, and computer managed credentialing exams? The pace of change is accelerating in education at large, and particularly for respiratory care, a field with unique training and education challenges and opportunities. This presentation synthesizes the crystal ball visions of a respiratory care educator and an instructional technologist to provide a glimpse through the fog of what may be in store for respiratory education.
? Training and education
? Credentialing (and re-credentialing)
? Continuing education
? Clinic
? Research and development
? Role expansion of the respiratory care practitioner
* What will the future world of respiratory care education look like?
* What will our classrooms and labs look like?
* Will there be classrooms and labs?
* What steps toward this future are in progress now?
* What new teaching and learning skills and competencies will future RC instructors and students require?

The crazy weather in Sydney over the weekend didn't stop us from putting the party shoes on. On Saturday, we celebrated with red balloons and polka dots at my cousin's engagement party. A polaroid camera was doing the rounds on the day, and I love the one that captured my gorgeous Nan with six of her seven grandaughters. On Sunday, it was off to a baby shower for a special friend. The smiling baby (also a guest) is Georgia, the little girl I mentioned in this post. As you can see, she is now the picture of beautiful health. We finished Sunday off with dinner that included amazing chocolate soufflés made by a clever cook and friend. Life is good...
A Busy Weekend

China Wind Energy Outlook, jointly released by the Chinese Renewable Energy Industries Association, the Global Wind Energy Council and Greenpeace, forecast that China's wind power sector will maintain the steady growth momentum seen last year.
"After years of speedy striding, China's wind power market is now moving ahead steadily and unwaveringly," said Li Junfeng, Secretary General of CREIA. "If everything goes well, wind power has the potential to make a prominent presence in China's energy portfolio and play a key role in saving China from the water crisis, air pollution and massive GHG emissions caused by a reliance on coal."
The annual industry analysis predicts that China's installed wind power capacity will be between 200 and 300 GW by 2020 and over 400 GW by 2030; by that time, wind power will make up about 8.4% of China's total electricity generation, and 15% of China's installed capacity. Retrospectively, it estimates that in 2011 China's wind energy sector generated 71.5 billion kilowatt hours, making up 1.5% of the national total electricity output and reducing CO2 emissions by about 70 million tons.
"There is every reason that China should support wind power: resources are abundant, production costs are lowering, and the technology is maturing, all of which make commercial development very promising," said Li Yan, head of the climate and energy campaign of Greenpeace East Asia.
After years of development in the country's north, northestern and northwestern areas, where wind resources are abundant but power consumption is relatively low, wind power is also proliferating in the non-traditional market. "Eastern and Southen China are accelerating their steps, a diversified development pattern is taking shape".
According to the report, non-traditional markets such as Guangxi, Guizhou, Shaanxi, Henan, Tianjin, Yunnan, Anhui have all seen two-fold capacity growth in 2011. Meanwhile, Shandong, Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Fujian surpassed their 1 GW milestone, becoming an increasingly promising market.
Li Yan points out that the report attributes bad connectivity to the grid and curtailment as the major hurdles to the development of wind power in China in 2011 – at least 5 billion yuan, or half of the accumulated profits of the sector, were lost due to curtailment.
"An effective mechanism must be in place to clearly identify grid's responsibilities and effectively minimize curtailment of wind-generated electricity," added Li Junfeng of CREIA.
"Globally speaking, Asia will become the world's biggest wind power market, topping Europe and North America," says Steve Sawyer, Secretary General of the Global Wind Energy Council. "Apart from China being the world leader, other Asian countries such as India, Japan and South Korea will also see a booming wind power sector in the coming five years."
English version of the report will soon be available from GWEC.

Guest Review by
Lucas Micromatis
With Tim Burton's revision hitting theaters and a reissue of the DVD set on the horizon, it seems appropriate to take a look back at the original
Planet of the Apes
. Adapted from the novel
Monkey Planet
by Pierre Boulle, the first film started a phenomenon which sparked four sequels, a TV series, a Saturday-morning cartoon series, tons of memorabilia, and even a brief musical adaptation on
The Simpsons
Planet of the Apes
is an undisputed science fiction classic for many reasons. On one level, it is a pure fantasy
escapist entertainment. Astronaut George Taylor (Charlton Heston,
The Omega Man
) crash-lands on a mysterious planet where evolution has apparently reversed: apes dominate man. Subjugated and feared by his captors because he is the first human with the power of speech, Taylor struggles to escape this "madhouse" with the aid of two sympathetic chimpanzee scientists, Cornelius (Roddy McDowall) and Zira (Kim Hunter). Of course, his struggle leads to a zowie of an ending
Twilight Zone
-ish twist which surely must have pleased co-scriptwriter Rod Serling, and which still packs a punch.
On another level, though,
Planet of the Apes
clearly reflects the turmoil and strife uprising during the 1960s. The film attacks and satirizes various issues
war, civil rights, etc.
dominant in the public consciousness. While the satire seems cheap today and elicits more groans than knowing laughs (yes, the "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" bit is a tad silly, though I enjoy it), it still does not detract from the overall power of the film. A great part of its success
must be attributed to the astounding make-up work of John Chambers, highly deserving his special academy award. While primitive by today's standards, the ape make-up was an incredible achievement of its day and still impresses. Kudos must also go to some remarkable performances from the ape actors. McDowall and Hunter shine through their facial appliances, as does Maurice Evans as one of the best sci-fi villains ever, Dr. Zaius. Heston, who chews the scenery with such aplomb and is given reams of instantly quotable lines, owns the role of Taylor and gives it his all
The DVD, though skimpy on extras, is well-presented. The film looks and sounds fantastic
; the remastered Dolby Digital Surround audio track breathes new life into this oft-seen classic. (The 2:35:1 Widescreen transfer is not anamorphic, unfortunately.) The animated menu screens feature various samples from composer Jerry Goldsmith's excellent, groundbreaking score. An extremely limited photo gallery is included, a paltry effort considering the wealth of material on this film. Fortunately the disc does come with the theatrical trailers to all five of the Apes flicks, a nice touch. I just wish Fox hadn't given away the surprise ending on the packaging. There's got to be at least
folks out there who haven't seen the movie yet.
A 2-disc special 35th Anniversary edition of
Planet of the Apes
was released by Fox in 2004. In addition to a remastered anamorphic transfer and a Dolby 5.1 Surround audio mix, this new, definitive edition is loaded with extras: the 2-hour documentary
Behind the Planet of the Apes
, two audio commentaries, a text commentary, outtakes, featurettes, galleries, trailers and more. EC rates it a solid "10".

FRESNO, Calif. — Construction of a high-speed rail line in the San Joaquin Valley, which was slated to begin at the end of this year, is now likely to be pushed back until early 2013, reported The Fresno Bee.
The delay is the result of revisions to environmental reports for the 120-mile Fresno-to-Bakersfield section of the rail line – part of the backbone of a proposed 520-mile system connecting San Francisco and Los Angeles.

How is Kasper's career coming along?
To be honest, he's unbelievable in training. His kicking is just a joke. Seriously! I think he's got a really good future ahead of him. He is still young and is a great shot-stopper while, like I've said, his kicking is just unbelievable. I think he has a really good future.
Did you learn much from playing alongside Wes Morgan?
Yes – all of them have taught me things to be honest but especially Wes, Paul Konchesky and Kasper. They were always talking to me and giving me bits of advice – especially the more experienced ones. It's been good to play alongside Wes, who has got so much experience and I think it's helped me a lot.
Did you enjoy your performances for United in the Capital One Cup early in the season?
Yes, it was unbelievable for me. I never really expected to start those games when they came around so I was eager to take my chance. I thought I did quite well and that maybe that was what helped me get my loan to Leicester. It helped me to push on from there so it was a great experience for me. I'm looking forward to getting back and playing more games.
They were two very different games – against Newcastle and Chelsea..
Both were really tough games. I was really happy with the way we played against Newcastle because it was actually a young team but we deserved to win. All the young players played their part. Obviously, against Chelsea, both Scott Wootton were at centre-back and I thought we both played well. We were obviously a bit unlucky to concede a penalty in the last minute and unlucky not to progress but exiting that competition also meant that I could come to Leicester so it's been great for me anyway.
You kept in touch with things at United during your time at the Walkers Stadium..
I always liked to go back when I could to see the lads and the coaches, perhaps have a training session now and again. Just to show my face. I always watched them on MUTV as well as I was interested in how they were doing. The defending was really impressive.

Coffee in a sippy cup—or how I have officially become my mother
I started drinking coffee when I was five years old. Half milk, half coffee, lots of sugar. In my sippy cup. It may be the reason I am so much shorter than both of my parents.
But I loved it—I loved the sweet milkiness and the warm comfort of my sippy cup. I loved reaching for a toothpick when the milk skin would plug up the tiny holes of the cup's spout. I loved that I was given this "adult" treat in the morning. It felt special.
My mother is very particular about her coffee, which may be why she understood that her young kids would want it: Because a morning doesn't start off right without a nice hot cup of coffee.
Hot being the operative word.
She insists on heating up her milk before pouring it into her coffee. Otherwise, she claims, the milk makes the coffee to cold to drink.
For the longest time, I thought this was just part of my mother's quirky insistence that food must be hotter than the sun in order to be edible. When we were teenagers, my brother and I dubbed our mother "Micro Mommy" because she heated leftovers up in the microwave for a MINIMUM of four minutes. The food would be too hot to eat for what felt like an hour.
She once even demanded steamed milk with her coffee at a country diner in the middle of Ohio—the kind of place where the only coffee options are "regular" and "decaf." (This occurred after my entire extended family made a spectacle out of wondering what a "grit" is.) The waitress' jaw dropped; the locals at the tables around us stared. My mother settled for microwaved milk.
I've always thought that this was one of her picky quirks—that, or she's been eating scalding food for so long that she simply doesn't register the heat unless it's practically boiling. But the other day, in yet another "holy shit, I am my mother" moment, I took a sip of my freshly-brewed coffee and observed, much to my shock:
This is not hot enough.
The next day, I microwaved my milk before pouring my tiny pot of french press into my mug.
It made a world of difference. My mother, I am learning, is always right.
"The problem is," she once told me, "I like a lot of milk in my coffee. If you put that much cold milk in your coffee, it turns the coffee cold."
I like a lot of milk in my coffee, too, a taste I probably cultivated at age five when I was enjoying my morning sippy cup of coffee before getting on the bus and heading in for a long, grueling day of kindergarten. The recipe has changed only slightly: just a little more coffee than milk and a smidge of sugar.
The only real difference is that I use an actual mug these days.
And now I make sure my coffee is piping hot.

Laura, I've been waiting for another post! Glad it's here!
scgirl529 says :
I have also been anxiously waiting to read more from you, and what a satisfying delivery! I must be your mother too because I agree that the amount of cold milk cools the coffee too much; these days I usually just settle for the dry creamer, though :-p So glad to hear from you!
coffee in a cup says :
i came across your blog quite randomly as i have my own blog called 'coffee in a cup' and when i did a search for the term 'coffee in a cup' on google to see what would surface, i found this post :)
and it made me smile as i too started drinking coffee at the age of 5 (it was a treat whenever i went to visit my grandmother) and i too had lots and lots of milk in my coffee :) neither am i very tall (5.2), so i can totally relate to your 'i-think-i'll-blame-my-early-coffee-days-for-my-(lack-of)-height' track of thought ;)

WHI-1179 | The Bible's History Books
If the Five Books of Moses can be summarized as Israel's constitution, how are we to think about the history books that follow? What is the meaning and purpose of the book of Joshua or Judges? How are the genealogies or battle scenes of the ancient Israelites relevant for Christians living today? Questions like these are important as we think about correctly interpreting and faithfully applying the Bible in contemporary life.

|Young adults' self- and parent-reported internalizing and externalizing behaviors: unique contributions of perceived family environment, social support and competence
|Yang, Elisa K.
|This study explored the relationship among perceived family environment , social support from different sources , self -competence , and internalizing /externalizing problem behaviors in freshmen college students . Previous studies have shown that family environment , social support , and competence all relate to adjustment and behaviors in clinical and non -clinical populations . The purpose of the current study is to integrate the aforementioned variables in order to determine how they contribute both jointly and independently to the prediction of self - and parent -reported of college students' intemalizing and extemalizing behaviors . A series of questionnaires was administered to freshmen college students (N=311 ) at a southwestem university who recently left their families -of -origin and entered college life . A demographic questionnaire and six different self -report scales were used to obtain relevant background information and their perceived competencies in specific domains , perceived family cohesion , adaptability , satisfaction , perceived emotional support from mother , father , sibling , close friend , peers , instmctors , campus organizations , and their self -reports of intemalizing and extemalizing behavioral ftinctioning . A second standardized scale that tapped the same college students' behaviors was completed by one of their parents (N=213 ) . Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to identify potential contributions of the aforementioned variables in the prediction of self and parent reports of intemalizing and extemalizing behaviors . Correlational analyses with stringent p -values were performed to supplement the findings among those variables . Results from regression analyses indicated that college students' self -report intemalizing behaviors could be accounted for significantly by perceived competence and perceived peer support . Their self -report extemalizing behaviors could be significantly and uniquely accounted for by perceived family satisfaction . Overall , females' perceived family environment , social support and competence accounted for more percentage of variance in predicting self -reported outcome behaviors , whereas , males' perceived family environment , social support , and competence accounted for significantly more percentage of variance in predicting parent -reported outcome behaviors . Perceived competence appears to relate more to males' outcome behaviors than females . Correlational analyses suggested that more family environment and social support variables are related to females' self -report intemalizing and extemalizing behaviors . These findings enhance our understanding of freshmens' behavioral problems with regard to individual , family and social factors . It is suggested that the etiology and treatment of young adults' problem behaviors should be considered by separate gender .

Engaged to someone who was sexually abused as a child....
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 09-28-2011 - 10:12pm
I'm looking to get some perspective from you as to how the abuse effects your sexual relationships. My Finace has told me about his experiences but never seem to be able to have a conversation about what exactly he is feeling about it. We are currently in counselling to work out some other issues and the sex issue came up this week but it didn't go very well, he was very defensive and didn't have much to say. We do have sex every 2-3 weeks on average but sometimes it will be 5-6 weeks like now. We had sex at least once a week for the first 6 months of our relationship but it started to drop off right around the time we were making firm plans for him to move in with me, we have been together for almost 4 years now. I find it pretty difficult knowing we used to have more sex and I would have to say a lot of it is not neccessarily the frequency but the fact that I have been rejected by him so many times I feel really horrible about my body and the whole thing. I tried at first to work at it but have given up for the most part over the last couple of years, I hardly ever try to initiate which he said once made it worse because he already has issues but I just couldn't take the hurt anymore. Most of the time if I tried something he would say not tonight, tomorrow after work or something like that and we would but it was scheduled and it made me feel like I was a chore. Often when we do have sex it is a verbal invitation rather than him putting the moves on me. He says he wants me but I just don't think I understand how he can want me but not want to have sex with me. He will not go to counselling for it, I said I need to be able to talk to him about it and I would like to be able to think there is maybe an 80% chance he would go for it if I tried
|Thu, 09-29-2011 - 7:52am
Thank you for sharing. I think I am going to give him some time and see if he brings it up to me, I think I've been very clear that I need to talk about it and I guess that is all I can do. Pushing him will just make things worse.
|Wed, 09-28-2011 - 11:56pm
Thank you for being will to share your situation with the board.
Everyone approaches and reacts to sex and intimacy in different ways after having experienced sexual abuse.
Speaking from my own experience, the physical aspect of my marriage is a work in progress. I've been married for 5 years and for the first 3 years sex was pretty much non-existent. Which was quite difficult on my husband and he could probably relate to how you feel rejected. To be honest it made me feel bad to know that he was in essence paying for what someone else had done.
It took quite some time and therapy before i could really feel that I could trust my husband, that he wasn't going to rape me. When that sunk in, I was able to work on becoming comfortable with being touched in general and then having sex. It also took some time to work through the scared feelings, sick feelings , memories and tears that would come up. Sometimes it was a lot of starting and stopping and waiting and trying again.
I've gotten to the point where I can initiate sex but the mood hits me once a month if that. If my husband initiates I can sometimes find the mood but not always.
I can understand your frustration at your fiance not wanting to talk about this in counseling but I can also understand the issues that could be going on as to why he might not want to. I personally didn't think there was a problem (I was avoiding the issue) until my marriage almost fell apart. My husband had been keeping his feelings about things bottled up and one day I got my eyes opened to a lot of how he felt and it made me realize that for as much as I was hurting he was too in his own way.

Barack Obama and Tiger Woods Hold Secret Golf Summit
Still reeling from a campaign in which both candidates limited media access and refused to answer hard-hitting questions like "What about your gaffes?", the political press has come to realize that the president won't even answer questions such as "What about your golfs?"
The White House did not allow pool reporters to cover Barack Obama's weekend outing with Tiger Woods, prompting White House Correspondents Association's Ed Henry to issue a statement saying, "a broad cross section of our members from print, radio, online and TV have today expressed extreme frustration to me about having absolutely no access to the President of the United States this entire weekend."
The only people having a more sub-par day than the media were Fox Nation commenters:
I, personally will never watch another match in which Woods participates or buy any product he endorses, If I were invited to play golf with Otraitor, I would decline, as I don't asscoiate with Communists [SIC, SIC, SIC]
Liar and a cheat. Tiger should be more careful of the company he keeps, he has a reputation to protect.
I wounder how The LSM felt being in the same boat as Fox News this weekend with no access to Obama.
In other words, ordering the assassination of American citizens is forgivable, but the president is playing with fire if he thinks he can keep middle-aged white guys from watching golf.

A Chattanooga woman, who mourns the loss of her child over the weekend, says the hospital put her baby's body in a cooler and sent her home.Photo by WRCB-TV Channel 3 /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Officials with Erlanger said the hospital's nurses sent a dead infant home with his mother in a cooler because state law says they couldn't keep the fetal remains.
"Erlanger respectfully honors the parents' decisions during this difficult time in their lives," said Jennifer Homa, a hospital spokeswoman. "Our policy strictly adheres to state laws when presenting options to the family."
Melvina Brown, 22, was 19 weeks in her pregnancy when she went into labor Thursday. The baby survived briefly outside the womb, but died Sunday. The baby was Brown's third unsuccessful pregnancy.
Brown signed a release form to take the baby home because she couldn't afford to send it to a funeral home, but said later she really wasn't lucid enough to make that decision after the birth.
Babies who die before birth and weigh less than 350 grams can be disposed of by the hospital if that is what the parents choose, Homa said.
But state law has other regulations for live births, she said.
"In the event of a live birth, pathology cannot accept the baby due to state laws and the family may either make arrangements with a licensed funeral director or may choose a private burial adhering to their county regulations," Homa said.
Charles Brown, Melvina Brown's father, said the hospital has agreed to keep the baby until they decide how the family wants to bury the child. Private burials are allowed in Hamilton County as long as the family has a designated burial plot.
Still, Brown said he is very upset with the hospital's regulations.
"Who gives a body to take home with them? That is unheard of," he said. "I know she wasn't supposed to bring no dead child home."
In such situations, Homa said, if parents choose to transport the remains themselves, the hospital "will provide them a container for the baby's body."
"Disposition of fetal remains is always the decision of the parents," Homa said.

Before landing her first full-time job as a reporter at the Times Free Press, ...
I'm a TN resident and I was embarrassed that this happened in my state. It was an unprofessional and uncompassionate thing to do. I don't care what the hospital policy is.
Chattanooga's Advantage Funeral home will perform the baby's funeral service free-of-charge. The graveside service will be Saturday at 1pm at the Memorial Duck Pond in Red Bank.
The hospital gave a statement. They said TN law only allows hospitals to dispose of remains when a baby is stillborn. They said the mother had choices and believe they have done nothing wrong. The hospital also stated the baby's grandmother and father could have objected. The mother said she was alone and still sedated and under the effects of medication when the nurse presented the release papers to her.

It wasn't "hospital policy", AtHomeMom. It is the law. Take it up with the state if you don't like it. This was a baby under the law, not a stillborn, a miscarriage, or an abortion.
You encourage Erlanger to violate the law on this issue? What other laws would you have them violate? Free medical care, perhaps? Purity of drugs used, maybe? Certified/licensed doctors, nurses, what-have-yous? How about disposing of deceased toddlers? Or 2-year olds? Or 20somethings? Maybe senior citizens? Where would you draw the line?
Do you challenge the hospital's statement? You didn't say if they were correct or not...

Relay for Life quilt honors cancer patients, survivors and victims
By Jason A. Smith
Mary Mellott of McDonough said she wants to use her creative talents to pay tribute to those who have been in a battle for their lives, and those who are still fighting.
Mellott, over the last several months, has worked on a Relay for Life quilt, embroidered with the names of cancer patients and survivors, as well as others who have succumbed to the disease.
"We do consider anyone who's fought cancer to be a hero," she said. "I don't know that I could do it myself. It's mainly to honor them."
The quilt is currently on display at the McDonough Public Library, 1001 Florence McGarity Blvd. It features the names of 128 people who have fought various forms of cancer, each of which are identified by a specific color.
Mellott was serving as a captain of McDonough Presbyterian Church's Relay for Life team when her quilt project began last year. She said she was inspired to make the quilt while working at A Scarlet Thread, a quilt shop in McDonough.
It was there that she met KellyDee Guess, a Stockbridge resident and breast cancer survivor.
"She was proud to be a survivor and thought it would be nice to honor survivors," said Mellott.
Guess said she came up with the original quilt concept as a way to honor her uncle, who passed away after bouts with lung cancer and bone cancer, and her aunt, a colon cancer survivor. Although she was unaware of Relay for Life at the time, Guess said she wanted to raise money and awareness about cancer.
"During the process of going through breast cancer, I realized that every type of cancer has its own color," said Guess. "Pink is the most famous. I figured everyone else didn't realize there were all these different colors representing different cancers. I said, I've got to find somebody who can make this quilt a reality."
Guess said she is "absolutely thrilled" that Mellott used her idea as a springboard to make the Relay for Life quilt.
Mellott then presented the quilt idea to her Relay for Life team. They opted to use it as their 2014 fundraiser to tie in with this year's theme of "Be a Hero and Relay for Life." Mellott collected $25 for each name on the quilt from local residents who wanted to honor their loved ones who have fought cancer. The quilt generated $3,200 for the American Cancer Society.
"We decided that rather than raffling it off, it would be a traveling quilt like the AIDS quilt, so that people could enjoy it," said Mellott.
The battle against cancer is close to Mellott's heart. Her mother, Marilyn Pendleton, died of breast cancer in 1988. Pendleton's name is among those included on the quilt.
"I have other family members' names on the quilt, but my mother, she's the reason I 'Relay for Life,'" said Mellott.
Debbie Withers of McDonough participates in Relay for Life and is helping to get the word out about the quilt. Withers praised Mellott for her work on the endeavor.
"I just love the whole idea of a quilt to raise money for cancer research," said Withers. "It's a beautiful thing, it's long-lasting, a great way to honor our loved ones and it's handmade with a lot of love."
The Relay for Life quilt previously appeared at McDonough Presbyterian and Union Grove High School, and will be featured at additional locations over the next year. Those locations include Piedmont Henry Hospital, A Scarlet Thread and the Henry County Performing Arts Center.
The tour will also take the quilt outside Henry County, to the Hope Lodge in Atlanta. Mellott, who created the quilt on a volunteer basis, said she is looking for more locations to display the quilt and will donate her time to make another one in 2015.
"I have a pre-order form for people to get a spot on next year's quilt," she said. "I'm hoping to get 500 names for next year. I'm actually hoping to get repeat names that are on this year also. They don't have to be new names. I would hope they want to be on it every year."
To host the Relay for Life quilt on its current tour, or to reserve a spot on the 2015 quilt, e-mail Mary Mellott at firstname.lastname@example.com.

UPDATED Wednesday, February 12, 2014 --- 6:58 p.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The federal government says more than 56,000 Wisconsin residents have selected a health care plan through the online federal exchanges.
The figures released Wednesday reflect signups from Oct. 1 through Feb. 1. The 56,436 signups are a 38 percent increase over the nearly 41,000 people who signed up through Dec. 28.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 89 percent of Wisconsin residents who selected plans were receiving federal help in paying premiums.
About 56 percent of those who've signed up are female, compared to 44 percent male.
The most popular coverage option in the state continued to be the silver plan, which covers about 70 percent of expected medical costs. Seventy percent of Wisconsin residents chose silver plans.
The open enrollment period ends March 31.

Posted Monday, January 13, 2014 ---- 5:57 p.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Nearly half of the Wisconsin and West Virginia residents who signed up for health insurance through the new online exchanges are senior citizens, which could lead to higher insurance rates in those two states.
The federal government released its latest signup numbers figures Monday. They show that 45 percent of enrollees in those two states were between the ages of 55 and 64. No other state had a higher portion of seniors sign up.
Generally, states want a sizable number of young people to enroll so their participation offsets the costs of covering older, sicker Americans.
Federal officials say the higher rates in Wisconsin and West Virginia could reflect state demographics, as well as a tendency for older residents to sign up before younger people.

My Daughter is a small 18mos, so I figured this costume would work for Halloween and as dress up play afterwards. We can get away with Halloween, but will be donating it right after. The costume itself is super cute and she couldn't wait to put it on, but it runs small. This is certainly for a "12Mos" but at a small/average size 18mo old, she cant get the back of the dressed closed. Since it will be chilly, I'm going to pair it with a long sleeved black shirt and tights to camouflage while out trick or treating. Exchange/Return isn't worth it, since it was so close to the date and you have to pay return costs. The cute Minnie headband will stay in the toy box though!

Back in December when Grazia Daily came face to face with fashion icon and career phoenix, Victoria Beckham, at the British Fashion Awards back in December we put to her the fateful question:
Would David ever bring out a fashion collection?
To which the fragrant Mrs Beckham replied;
"David has a line that he works on with a designer – for Addias. David loves fashion, I mean he loves clothes, but to be a designer – that is not something he would ever want to do.
I think he's got enough on his plate at the moment. Never say never, but not right now!"
Even so, we still weren't very surprised when we saw reports all over the internet that
We'd already heard rumours that she was planning to rope her children into working on the collection

SNEED: Rosemont mayor wants a piece of the McCormick Place arena
By MICHAEL SNEED email@example.com May 16, 2013 9:38PM
Grand opening of the new Rivers Casino in DesPlaines brought thousands to be part of the history making day. Mayor Brad Stephens of Rosemont was in attendence. | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: June 18, 2013 8:31AM
Sneed exclusive . . .
The Rosemont ruckus . . .
Mayor Brad Stephens of Rosemont wants to play piggyback.
The savvy wheeler-dealer who says his village generates truckloads of state tax money that's shipped down I-55 to Springfield each year, tells Sneed he wants "to piggyback" on the new legislative action involving massive redevelopment plans for McCormick Place and Navy Pier.
"We want meat off the bone," Stephens told Sneed. "If the legislative bone contains $500 million for McCormick Place, then there should be $100 million for us!"
The affable but persistent Stephens, who is known for getting his phone calls returned by Springfield's top pols with whom he power lunches, also wants to be "invited to the legislative table" chewing the fat off the bone.
"We are a big generator of tax money and tax revenue and should be on an equal playing field," he said. "A sales tax backstop on the $5 million incentive money to attract convention business we receive from the state might be in order. Let's talk."
The loss of the DePaul University Blue Demons basketball team at Rosemont's Allstate Arena now that plans are to build a $173 million basketball arena at McCormick Place "did not shatter me," said Stephens.
"DePaul was always upfront with us," he said. "Things come to an end. They were a great tenant, but not a great moneymaker. And if they think this is right, than they should go. I will be one of the first people to attend their first game at their new stadium," he said.
"But new legislation dealing with expansion of convention business at McCormick Place will impact us and something should be provided to benefit our convention center in Rosemont," he told Sneed.
◆ The flipshot: Stephens wanted Sneed to know the reason the largest DePaul graduation is taking place at McCormick Place this year — instead of its usual location at the Allstate Arena — has nothing to do with the rumor of him having a "snitfit" due to the DePaul loss reported in Sneed's column Wednesday. "My son graduates from DePaul this year. It was a total problem caused by a DePaul scheduler. And when they discovered their mistake, it was too late for us to cancel our WWE booking. There were no sour grapes."
State of the union . . .
Stop & shop: While President Obama was fending off foes blasting him for snooping into the phone records of AP reporters and playing politics with the IRS, his senior advisor/best friend Valerie Jarrett was spotted lunching Tuesday at Fred's eatery inside the Barney's New York shop — before alerting her Secret Service protectors she'd be making a "stop on two" to get a little designer shopping in before she left.
The Tiger file . . .
What's in a word? Plenty. Golfing legend Tiger Woods, who used to hang out on his private yacht called "Privacy" with ex-wife Elin Nordegren, was spotted hanging out with girlfriend/skiing star Lindsey Vonn on a yacht named "Solitude" near his home in Palm Beach, Fla., this week.
The Sanford file . . .
Ah, coincidence: Newly elected Rep. Mark Sanford of South Carolina was sworn in Wednesday in Washington, D.C., with new fiancee Maria Belen Chapur at his side.
◆ Meanwhile, a gala in Washington, D.C., also was held Wednesday for the Conservancy of the Appalachian Trail, the place Sanford said he was — when he was actually visiting Chapur, his secret mistress, in Argentina. These kinds of things tend to make Sneed's day.
Rahm 'em . . .
Mr. Itch & twitch: Sneed City Hall sources claim someone needs to tell Mayor Rahm Emanuel to settle down. Rahm reportedly has a severe case of the shpilkes ever since a recent newspaper poll showed him on the downswing in the popularity department.
Sneedlings . . .
Stork talk: Congrats to Illinois Tollway Executive Director Kristi Lafleur and husband Jesus Rosales on the birth of their first child: a son who has yet to be named. . . Friday's birthdays: Bob Saget, 57; Sugar Ray Leonard, 57, and Nikki Reed, 25.
