Hi it's Michelle here again, this time with a tutorial for a Tunisian Crochet Wash Cloth.
Tunisian crochet is a deceptively easy technique that is a little bit crochet, a little bit knitting and looks like weaving. The resulting fabric is quite thick and spongy making it a perfect choice for wash or dishcloths, potholders, cushions and more. It's also quite lovely for scarves if you use a fine yarn.
Once you get past the first few rows you'll be powering ahead with the rhythmic motion of making these simple stitches and looking for more projects to try out your new skills.
This is a quick and easy project finished off with a crochet border in Linen Stitch and perfect for gift giving. Let's get started!
Our very talented crochet contributor Michelle has come back from a relaxing holiday and has created a new crochet bag pattern exclusively for My Poppet. I love this modern take on the old fashioned string bag, it looks great and is super practical too.
Over to Michelle…
It's Michelle here with a tutorial for a crochet Market Bag. Pop it in your handbag on your next trip to the shops, it's roomy enough to carry your groceries home and the solid base will stop your carrots falling out the bottom.
Hi there,
It's Michelle here and I'm back again with another crochet tutorial. This time I thought it would be fun to play with Tapestry Crochet.
It really is quite easy to do and brings a whole new world of design possibilities. It works up into a nice firm fabric making it ideal for pouches, bags, bowls or even hats.
To whet your appetite we'll make a quick little coin purse. Make one or many, they make great little gifts and Christmas is just around the corner. Really! So lets get started…
I often get asked about my crafting habits. Do I craft only for the blog? Do I share everything that I make? Do I make personal projects? So today rather than share a DIY, I thought I'd chat about what I've been making for myself behind the scenes, and why I don't always share everything I make here on the blog.
Like any hobby that turns into paid work, some aspects of things that were once fun can become a bit of a chore. Don't get me wrong, I love sharing tutorials here on the blog, but the reality is that I do see it as a job, and I try to do it as professionally as I can. Sometimes it means that the projects I share on the blog aren't projects that challenge my personal skills or help me experiment with technique or processes. Blog projects need to be manageable for beginners or require me to be very confident with my skills so I can explain techniques fully. So when I'm learning something new, I don't want to pressure myself with writing a tute for it, or having to take step by step photos, it takes the fun out of it.
Sometimes the projects I'm working on take a really long time, like over a year, because I like to pick things up and put them down depending on my mood. For me, making something involves emotional investment, I need to put happy feelings into what I'm making or that project will give off cranky vibes.
So in my craft basket at the moment are a few works in progress that I've been enjoying…
Hi everyone!
Well, hasn't time flown by! Today is our final installment for the Carnivale CAL and it's finally time to join our cushion pieces and finish them off with some fun pom poms.
By now you'll have finished your cushion pieces and made your cushion insert, following Cintia's super easy tutorial.
So make yourself comfy and let's get started … (more…)
Hi everyone
I've loved seeing all your finished cushion fronts so far! Now it's time to make our cushion backs, so let's get started.
Today's special stitch will be the Front Post Double Crochet (FPdc).
This stitch gives a raised ridge effect and is a great stitch to use to add texture to your work and can also be used to make increases as we will be doing to complete our cushion backs.
The only difference between a FPdc and a standard dc is where you place your hook.
Here's how:
Hi, it's Michelle back again
Have you enjoyed working on your Carnivale Cushions so far? I have! I'm really enjoying seeing all the different variations and colour combinations you are all using. I love how different it can look depending on your colour choice. Such a creative lot you are!
This week we'll be finishing off the front of the cushion. I'm excited so let's get started…. (more…)
Hello again, Michelle here…
Well, today is the day and we can finally get stuck into our crochet-along. There's a lot to talk about so I won't waste space here waffling on. Here is Part 1 if you missed it.
OK then, let's get started!
Terms Used
US terms used throughout (I've shown UK/AUS terms in brackets in the following abbreviations table however, I haven't shown them throughout the instructions as I think it just gets all too confusing with too many bracketed abbreviations. For those that prefer Aussie/UK terms, substitute all sc's with a dc and all dc's with a treble)

November 29, 2014
SOUTH FORK, Colo. (AP) - Residents and visitors are being allowed back in the southwestern Colorado town of South Fork, a week after they were forced out because of a massive wildfire.
The evacuation order was lifted Friday because firefighters feel confident they can defend the summer retreat should the fire again advance toward it. They've dug a wide bulldozer line that they can expand if needed, and they have also been dropping water along U.S. Highway 160 near town all week.
The town relies on tourism so business owners have been anxious to reopen.
The West Fork Fire, one of three wildfires burning on a total of 140 square miles in the area, is within about 3 miles of town.
The fires have been fueled by beetle-killed trees and fanned by hot, windy weather.

When hearing about outstanding success stories, one can't help but wonder what it takes for a person to accomplish such high levels of achievement over time. Is it talent? Practice? Certain training methods? Structure or rituals? Parental/family support? Coach/mentor guidance? The right opportunities? The right connections? Inspiration? Motivation? Luck? All of the above?
Different stories shed light from different perspectives on what it takes to be a standout athlete, business person, artist, professional, leader, etc. A little bit (or a lot) of this, a little (or a lot) of that, and there you have a star. Invariably, you will identify various factors that contributed to any one person's success story. Some factors play a more important role than others when it comes to any one individual's case. However, if you distill everything down, chances within every success story, you will find one thing in common – a sustained, persistent and focused effort.
Sure, someone might have a flash of brilliance that leads to success, but without continual hard work, that success is likely to be fleeting. Long term success is never a fluke. It usually requires countless hours of behind-the-scenes drudgery and sacrifice. Only those willing to persevere get the brass ring.

Book Description:
He saw an animal that liked to snort. Horns on his head and they weren't too short. It looked like there wasn't nothin' that he couldn't pull. "Ah, think I'll call it a bull." Man gave names to all the animals, from the mighty bull to the messy pig, in the song Bob Dylan wrote twenty years ago. Now with bite, wit, and explosive color, Scott Menchin gives us new insight into this legendary song.

What is a Foundation Trust?
On February 1st 2008 Tameside and Glossop Acute Services NHS Trust became an NHS Foundation Trust, and is now known as Tameside Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The hospital is still known as Tameside General Hospital.
Foundation Trusts are still part of the NHS and subject to rigorous inspections like the rest of the NHS, but patients, staff and local residents have a greater say in how those standards are met and developed. This allows Foundation Trusts to tailor their services to best meet the needs of the local community.
Foundation Trusts still have a Trust Board which consists of Executive and Non-Executive Directors. These Directors are legally responsible for the running of the Trust, and consult with Governors and Members on issues of strategic importance.
We believe that Foundation Trust status brings real benefits for our patients, our staff and the local community.
What does it mean to be a Foundation Trust?
- The Trust has responsibility for determining our own destiny – which means we are able to make faster decisions and have greater flexibility to provide services to meet local needs
- The Trust has stronger links into our communities – which means greater accountability to our patients, local people and partner organisations
- The Trust has increased organisational development opportunities – which means we can grow and develop as an organisation, and rise to the challenge of providing high quality local services
- The Trust is able to deliver service improvement more quickly – which includes taking advantage of new ways to raise funds and access capital
- The Trust has greater financial freedom – ability to plan and manage our finances with increased clarity, certainty and stability
What do members do?
One of the most important features of an NHS Foundation Trust is the establishment of a Council of members.
Our members are the driving force behind out Foundation Trust and help us to move forward. We already have one of the highest membership of any Foundation Trust in Greater Manchester, with almost 22,000 public members and almost 2,600 staff members. However, their contribution has proved invaluable and we always welcome more members.
Your feedback is really important to us - it's how we find out what we are doing right and what you'd like to see happen in the future.
There are no fees or obligations and you can be as active as you like – from receiving literature such as the quarterly Trust Magazine, to attending meetings and voting in Governor elections or even standing as a Governor yourself.
The members of our Foundation Trust will:
- help make the Trust more accountable to local people, and better able to listen to local views
- vote in the election of people to sit on and represent you on the Council of Governors
- be able to stand for election to the Council of Governors
What are the benefits of being a member?
As a member of our Foundation Trust you will be able to help shape the future of Tameside Hospital.
As a member you will receive:
- entitlement to join nhs discount scheme website, which provide Great deals, savings, helplines, offers and more. http://www.nhsdiscounts.com/en
- Please check out latest news section to find out more about what's happening in your hospital
- Invitation to meetings like constituacy meetings. An annual meeting and two constituency meetings per year, totalling 23 public meetings. Invitations to meetings are placed in local papers.

Membership of our Foundation Trust is free and, remember, it is completely up to you how much you get involved.

- email@example.com
- call 0161 922 6005
Council of Governors
As you will know, when we invite members of the public to join as members of the Foundation Trust, we explain that membership gives rise to a number of possibilities.
Some members may wish to become more actively involved with the Foundation Trust, and may be interested in standing to represent their particular locality on the Foundation Trust's Council of Governors. An election to this seat has to take place in line with the Constitution of the Tameside Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
All Foundation Trusts must have a body of governors who are responsible for representing the interests of Members, patients, carers, staff and partner organisations.
The Council of Governors consists of 15 public members, plus 6 staff members and 6 appointed members from partnership organisations, such as the Primary Care Trust and the two Local Authorities - Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council and High Peak Borough Council.
All Foundation Trusts must have a body of governors who are responsible for representing the interests of Members, patients, carers, staff and partner organisations.
To find out more information about the work of the governors and how to become one, visit the Council of Governors Page.
If you would like to become a member, please contact our membership office on 0161 922 6005 or send an email to email@example.com.

Driving back from Nashville yesterday I listened to sports talk radio. The subject was the same I have been hearing for weeks. Everyone wants to talk about what's wrong with the Titans. Everyone has his or her own theory. As I said in a previous post, (Read it HERE) I am a not an avid sports fan. I love sports, I love watching sports, but I don't memorize player's names or keep up with many statistics, I just enjoy sports.
I do keep up with leadership however, and as I said in my previous post, I think the main issue for the Titans now is a leadership problem. When leadership is uncertain or unsettled, it will impact the entire team. That's an organizational leadership principle, and it's true because it deals with people, which mean you can see the principle at work in business, in churches, and on professional football teams. (This post could have been titled "Suggestions for leadership when your team is in trouble", which would have worked for many organizations…)
So, as one who does understand the subject of organizational leadership, here are 5 leadership suggestions I offer the Tennessee Titans leadership:
Get united at the top – Owner Bud and Coach Jeff need to get on the same page again. Period. The team will be unsettled as long as they are unsettled. There have been times before when the talk was whether Jeff could keep his job, and some think that time is here again (read THIS), but Bud Adams and Jeff Fisher have mostly had a great relationship. They need to close the door, talk (or yell) it out, then decide to be united (or not) going forward.
Decide who's in charge - If Coach Fisher is continue as coach, he must have freedom to run the team as he thinks best. The team needs to know he is the one making the calls. An owner can and will always have input, but on the playing field the leader on the sidelines needs control…and the team needs to know it. That includes what to do with key players under huge contracts.
Remember the Titans – The team needs to remember who they are as a team. They've been known for comeback victories. They've had a history of the unexpected come from behind wins. Remind the team. Energize the key player leaders on the team. Let it spread through the team and change team morale and motivation.
Get back to basics - The Titans know how to win games. They know how to run the ball strong and make the big defensive plays. Just do what the team does best.
Play ball - At some point, the team and the coaches have to ignore all the critics and play ball. That may mean they need to quit doing interviews, quit reading the sports page, or quit talking internally about what's wrong and focus on the winning games. Win a few games and the talk shows will find a new subject.
That's my suggestions. Call me naive if you want since I'm mostly a quiet observer in the field of sports, but I think these steps would help in any organizational sense, including football.
What do you think? What would you do now if you were in leadership with the Tennessee Titans…or an organization in trouble?

Former Broncos teammates have sideline exchange in Bears win over Dolphins. Dave Miller
Former Broncos teammates Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall squared off for the first time in new uniforms Thursday night in South Beach in one of the ugliest games of the 2010 season. Cutler's Bears beat Marshall's Dolphins 16-0 to temporarily lead the NFC North by a half-game over the Green Bay Packers.
The most exciting part of the game may have come when the two ex-teammates had a sideline exchange that drew Marshall a 15-yard penalty.
ICONJay Cutler met former teammate Brandon Marshall Thursday night in South Beach.
Early in the second quarter after picking up a first down and getting forced out of bounds, Marshall tossed the football at Cutler while the quarterback stood on the sideline. There appeared to be an exchange of words as the receiver made his way back onto the field. The flag was thrown and the Fins were sent back 15 yards.
Below is video of Marshall throwing the ball at Cutler.
Marshall later reinjured his right hamstring, sidelining him for the remainder of the contest. Even if he was on the field, though, it likely wouldn't have mattered with the Bears in sync defensively all night.
The Dolphins, who entered two games out of first place and attempting to stay in the thick of the wild card race, look like a mess right now after being forced to play their third-string quarterback and getting nothing going on offense.
In the postgame news conference, the Bears signal caller cited Marshall's competitiveness as the likely reason for the exchange. He also noted that he was "getting after [Marshall] before the game."
"He was just fired up," Cutler said.
We always knew Marshall had the talent. And we always knew he was a loose cannon.
As for Cutler, is a postgame cocktail with Kristin Cavallari on the horizon?

Drive-By Photography
By Kate Jackson
11 Jun 2010
My boyfriend and I can only afford one car right now, and it's a stick, which I can't drive. Of course he can't teach me to drive a standard in his baby (besides I'm not insured). We also do a fair bit of traveling from the suburbs back home to the middle of nowhere. So over the last couple years I have spent a lot of time in the passenger seat (warning: do not attempt to take photos while you are driving). This is how I pass the time, experimenting with light and motion and focus.

Frustrated residents protest outside NY utility
Even as the lights came on for many who lost power in New York and New Jersey during the superstorm and a later nor'easter, hundreds of residents protested Saturday outside a Long Island utility, frustrated by its slow response to outages.
Associated Press
Even as the lights came on for many who lost power in New York and New Jersey during the superstorm and a later nor'easter, hundreds of residents protested Saturday outside a Long Island utility, frustrated by its slow response to outages.
Power restoration has been slower there than in other areas hit by Superstorm Sandy, sparking criticism of the Long Island Power Authority. Some of the 130,000 blacked out homes and businesses the utility serves may not have power restored until the end of Tuesday, according to LIPA.
In the rest of the region hardest hit by the storm, most service was expected to be restored by the end of the weekend, though that doesn't include tens of thousands of homes too damaged to juice up.
"We are sitting in a cold house. No one comes by," said John Mangin of Levittown, N.Y. "There should be criminal charges against the CEO and the executive board of LIPA for failure to do their jobs."
He was among about 300 people staging a rally in front of LIPA's office in Hicksville, N.Y. Not all were without power, but some who have power said they were there to protest LIPA's lack of communication.
LIPA Chief Operating Officer Michael Hervey said the utility was aware that customers haven't gotten the information they've needed from it, partly because of an outdated information technology system it's in the process of updating.
"I certainly feel the frustration of customers whose power remains out. Our hearts go out to them," Hervey said.
But he said workers are repairing unprecedented storm damage as fast as they can. About 6,400 linemen and 3,700 tree trimmers are at work, compared with 200 linemen on a normal day.
In Suffolk County, where about 28,000 customers remain without power, County Executive Steven Bellone announced he was cutting ties with LIPA and would deal directly with substation coordinators.
Hervey said he would not comment on that directly, but added that an ad hoc takeover of the system would lead to anarchy.
"The utility is the best suited to restore power and manage that," he said. "We can't have people step in and take over."
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has called for an investigation of the region's utilities, criticizing them as unprepared and badly managed. On Friday, two congressmen from Long Island called for the federal government to help LIPA restore electricity.
"It's a totally disorganized effort, and LIPA unfortunately seems to have lost control of the situation and that's why you see so many people becoming so angry," Rep. Peter King said Saturday.
In New York City and neighboring suburban Westchester County, utility Con Edison said about 11,400 customers remained powerless, down from a peak of more than 1 million. The number of remaining outages doesn't include about 30,000 Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island homes and businesses that the utility says are too damaged to receive power for now.
In New Jersey, fewer than 85,000 customers were without power Saturday, most along the coast. That was down from 2.7 million at the height of the storm. Most were expected to have power by the end of the weekend.

No-Poo, Plopping, and Other Lessons Bella Learns at Dinner
Upon sitting down to dinner last night, my pal announced, "I will never use normal towels again." Now, she's rather dramatic, so I expected her to launch into a tale of why towels were the reason for all the world's problems. No dice. Before cluing me in to anything more, she added, ". . . and you shouldn't either."
She eventually clarified that face washing and showering were OK, but said she'll never again use one to dry her hair. Her decision came from a new stylist who advocates for the Curly Girl Method. In addition to their "no-poo" rule (that's no shampoo with sulfates), the method recommends drying hair with old t-shirts in an approach called plopping.
Totally intrigued, even with the silly-sounding slogans, I did some research and found that plopping sounded like something I'd want to try for my curly hair as well. Learn all about it when you read more.
In order to decrease drying time and frizz, instead of air or towel drying, try plopping:
- Spread a t-shirt or microfiber towel on a flat surface.
- Bend over with your head down until your hair is in the middle of the cloth.
- With your head touching the cloth, pull part of the material up so the back of your head is covered with it (to the nape of your neck.
- Twist the two sides to form sausage rolls (illustrations here) and clip them.
- Remove cloth after about 30 minutes to reveal less frizzy, "plopped" locks.
I'm trying to find a "plop and lock" joke here, but instead, I'll just ask if you've had any success with this method.

Getting your front wheel over steps, roots, puddles

A Look Inside A Lighting Kit
You can learn a lot about still photography by studying filmmaking. (The reverse is probably true too, right?) With the ever-increasing convergence between photography and video production, I find that I'm paying increasingly more attention to what's happening in the video world. Case in point: The Frugal Film Maker, Scott Eggleston, is a DIY video guy, and in a recent episode (highlighted on the DIY Photography blog) he breaks down all the great gear he carries in his lighting kit. It's great stuff, very helpful if you're trying to outfit your own location lighting kit—whether that's for stills or video, and it's especially perfect if you're doing a little of both.

Doggie fashion designers in Taiwan have invented a pair of special pants- so owners can stop their pedigree pooches from having wuff sex with randy strays.
The pants - which sell for 25 GBP a pair - allow female dogs to poo without trouble but cover the rest of their nether regions securely.
Inventor Zhang Daxing explained: "It is very upsetting for owners to find their dogs being assaulted in the streets.
"These pants now make it impossible for them to be raped."
Dog lover Chi Sun added: "It's a brilliant idea. My girl is very sensitive and I find it very offensive when these rough strays start sniffing around her."

Hytner's influence increases in Mediabrands restructure
By Maisie McCabe, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 01:00PM
Interpublic's media division Mediabrands has restructured its global operations into three "clusters" and handed more regional responsibility to Jim Hytner, EMEA president of UM.
Mediabrands, owner of the UM and Initiative agency networks, has streamlined its global operations from four divisions into three. Operating units for North America, Europe Middle East and Africa, Latin America and Asia Pacific will be divided into North America, the G14 and "world markets".
Following the changes, Hytner will become president of the G14 for UM, with responsibility for the 14 most strategically important markets outside the US, putting the UK alongside Japan and Australia.
Initiative worldwide chief strategy officer Eric Bader, former president of mobile marketing company BrandInHand until he joined Initiative in 2010, will take the role of president of the G14 for Initiative.
The G14 is estimated to account for around 30% of Mediabrands' revenue and includes Germany, France, Brazil, Russia, India and China alongside the UK, Japan and Australia.
Hytner said: "This is purely a leadership development. The change is that I [and Bader] will be managing the 14 most strategically most important markets, as deemed by our clients and economic studies.
"All our regional teams will continue to work for clients on regional business and will report to me."
Hytner said the restructure followed "three to six months" of research and the G14 were the markets chosen were the ones which were the most likely to "cross pollinate".
All the local UM chief executives in the G14, including the UM London's Andy Jones, will report to Hytner, as will executives that lead regional business, such as Mastercard in Latin America.
North America remains the largest market with around 50% of Mediabrands' revenue. The "world markets" division includes all areas outside of North America and the G14, including South Korea, Hong Kong, Austria and Switzerland.
There will be no job losses as a result of the changes. Tim Spengler will continue as president of North America for Initiative and two candidates are understood to be being considered for the North American UM role.
The restructure is at a global management level and will not affect the work of UM's regional teams, who will continue to work with and pitch for clients regionally.

Recipe: Slow Cooker Quinoa Oatmeal
Breakfast Recipes from The Kitchn
There's nothing like waking up to a piping hot breakfast. A steamy, creamy bowl of oatmeal is the ultimate comfort food, and preparing it in the slow cooker is a great way to take care of your breakfast crew without having to wake up before everyone else. Just stir everything up in the slow cooker, set it on low, then sleep for a solid eight hours and wake up to your morning meal.
Recipe: Light & Easy Broccoli Salad
Recipes from The Kitchn
In my Southern family, we grew up eating broccoli slaw that had raisins, peanuts, a sweet mayonnaise dressing, and toasted ramen noodles on top. It's a delight, which you know if you've had it. But every time I crave it now and look up a recipe, I'm turned off by the amount of mayonnaise or inclusion of the ramen noodle seasonings packet.
So I set out to modernize this retro slaw with a few fresh tweaks. The result is easy, lightened-up, and still oh-so-crunchy.

Recipe: Potato Salad with Lemon Tahini & Dill Dressing
Recipes from The Kitchn
My husband and I have been in the thick of the potato harvest at our farm, and with the abundance of fresh dill out in the fields, this potato salad was a no brainer. I wanted to keep the flavors fresh and seasonal, so I combined the fresh dill with green onions, mustard, capers and tahini (I know…not so traditional!). All together, this makes for a flavorful and creamy salad.
Recipe: Cumin-Roasted Carrots with Wild Rice and Chickpeas
Recipes from The Kitchn
When the calendar hits September 1st, fall comes full blast with seasonal recipes, warmed-up restaurant menus, and even those spiced coffee drinks. Pumpkin, sweet potato, and butternut squash feature big, but I always urge people to look towards the vegetables that can sometimes end up as second players in the show.
Carrots are delightful as a mealtime star and I have a favorite technique that makes these carrots perfectly tender without going too soft.
Recipe: Smoothie Breakfast Bowl with Berries & Granola
Recipes from The Kitchn
I love granola. I love it especially because granola sneaks things like chocolate chunks, coconut flakes, and sugared pecans into my bowl and yet still passes the breakfast-appropriate test. On summer mornings, granola and milk is my go-to, but September is here, which means I'm back on campus during the days and I need breakfasts that keep me satisfied until lunch.
Enter the smoothie breakfast bowl: a smoothie packed with fruit and greens and ready in five minutes — and topped with my favorite granola. It's the best of both worlds.
What Are Some Vegetarian Recipes That Non-Vegetarians Love Too?
Good Questions
An Apple & Honey Cheese Board for Rosh Hashanah
Celebrating Rosh Hashanah
Every fall, Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) rolls around right as the apple harvest comes into full swing. The timing could not be more fortuitous, since apples dipped in honey are the holiday's best known food symbol — an edible representation of one's wishes for a sweet and round year ahead.
As someone who regularly throws dinner parties, I understand the magic of a well-curated cheese board to make guests feel lavishly welcomed — and to tide them over until dinner is served. I adore the cheese, naturally, but often find it's the extras — the fruit, olives, breads, and spreads — that make the board feel particularly special.
Recipe: Stuffed Eggplants with Herbed Bulgur
Recipes from The Kitchn
When the heat begins to break and you start spotting pomegranates at the market, you know that fall is creeping up, bring with it new school schedules, pumpkin patches, and apple picking. For some of us, this seasonal transition also represents the start of a brand new year.
With Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, around the corner and fall in the air, I bring you a crowd-pleasing vegetarian dish of eggplants stuffed with herbed bulgur, pomegranate seeds, and pine nuts.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
If you get out the sandpaper and start working away at the Electric Sexxx's sound, if you rub away some of the distortion from the vocals, a little of the fuzz from the guitars, if you get the random dogs to bark in tune, if you ice some of the squalling feedback and get rid of the harpsichords and whatever else, you'll find there's actually melody and cohesion down there in the squalid depths of their sound. Real songs lurk under all the racket. Singer Nikki Texas, keyboardist Erika Thrasher, guitarist Brandon Davis, saxperson Candice Vincent and very special guest guitarist Domokos have it in 'em to be big stars in this business, but you know they don't really care. Their new album, We Are the Wild Beast, kinda reminds you of that kid in high school who got a 1570 on the PSAT as a sophomore and then got kicked out of school for cooking up LSD in the chemistry lab -- he wasn't an underachiever, exactly, just a high achiever of a different, less socially acceptable sort. Anthemic album opener "Walk Through Fire" sounds like Longwave chopped and screwed, or Shabooh Shoobah-era INXS filtered through the ears of someone overdosing on Special K. "Poison the Choir" is another great song wrapped in swamp sludge. Oh, well, there's lots of noise rock bands that are ugly for ugly's sake, but most of them probably can't do any better. This is a band that won't, for reasons of their own, and there's a big difference.

Mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) consists merely of four nuclearly encoded subunits. It participates in the electron transfer in the respiratory chain and in succinate catabolism in the Krebs cycle. Mutations in the four genes, SDHA, B, C and D, have been reported, resulting in strikingly diverse clinical presentations. So far, SDHA mutations have been reported to cause an encephalomyopathy in childhood, while mutations in the genes encoding the other three subunits have been associated only with tumour formation. Following a brief description of SDH genes and subunits, we examine the properties and roles of SDH in the mitochondria. This allows further discussion of the several hypotheses proposed to account for the different clinical presentations resulting from impaired activity of the enzyme. Finally we stress the importance of SDH as a target and/or marker in a number of diseases and the need to better delineate the consequences of SDH deficiency in humans.

Their united opposition of the life forms that existed in the Soviet Union, it was expressed language of any of parables, parabolas.

We are in Russia, Georgia has always regarded the movie as a form of culture, sought to seriously look at things in the tradition of the Orthodox world view associated with the metaphysical, sometimes mystical, views on life and man.Such complicated picture for the perception of the viewer must be within the culture from which they come.

20 April 2009
Oarsmen and women from Cardiff and Swansea Universities will battle it out in the fourth annual Welsh Boat Race, heralding the start of the 2009 Varsity sporting fixtures.
The crews will go head to head on the River Taff in front of hundreds of spectators, including First Minister Rhodri Morgan (Wednesday 22nd April). They will race each other over two kilometres from the University stone, opposite Brains Brewery, to the finishing post at Channel View Centre.
The day will begin with races for novice rowers, followed by the Senior Women First VIII's race. The final race of the day will see the Senior Men First VIII's crew take to the water.
Rowing Club President Penny Challans said: "The training the crews have put in for this race has been gruelling. Both the men and women have pushed themselves to their physical limits, enduring 6am training starts daily, and racking up hundreds of hours on the water and in the gym. We know that Swansea will try and match us stroke for stroke, but we're determined to make those early mornings pay off!."
A week later (Wednesday 29th April) more than 1000 students from Cardiff and Swansea Universities will compete against each other in sports including football, tennis and fencing. The University with the most wins will be awarded the Varsity Trophy.
The day will culminate with the Welsh Varsity Match at Cardiff Arms Park where 8000 spectators are expected to turn up to watch Cardiff's rugby clash with Swansea.
Martyn Fowler, head of rugby at Cardiff said: "This is the definitive date in the Rugby Club's calendar and one that all involved look forward to. Although we are without some of our influential club members and full professional players, we have enough strength to offer Swansea a very competitive challenge. Historically, we are the underdogs. It is testament to the club's growth and potential that we are in many circles expected to win."
The Welsh Varsity Match is also raising thousands of pounds for the Welsh Charitable Trust, an organisation that helps Welsh players who have been injured and consequently disabled playing rugby. Over the past five years the Welsh Varsity has donated more than £25,000 to this charity.
The Welsh Boat Race is hosted by Channel View Centre, and racing starts at 1.15pm on 22nd April.

Are meat cutter job opportunities growing or declining?
Get new comments by email
|Comments (9)
Are jobs in this industry on the rise? Are there any sub-sectors that are growing?
Where are the jobs? Which places have the most meat cutter opportunities?
Ana in Asheville, North Carolina
79 months ago
I think jobs in the industry are definitely on the rise, however the market as we know it is splintering into niche interests. I started out with a gourmet conventional store that was extremely high volume, and since then I've been working with all-natural markets whose volumes have increased dramatically over the last few years. surely that business is coming from conventional markets. I'm finding that with the introduction of food networks and all of the food recalls in recent years consumers have higher standards or they're simply more informed. They're looking for a personal connection with the people who provide them with food, and shrink wrap and styrofoam trays aren't cutting it anymore.
I run the butcher shop now at a gourmet farmers market in the mountains of North Carolina, and my advice to anyone looking for work as a meat cutter is to be informed. I think that people with lots of restaurant experience make great meat cutters because they know the basic cuts (I can always teach you more or tweak what you do know), but they have outstanding customer service and offer customers cooking recommendations. I look for people who are simply passionate about food in general, have a respect for where it comes from and aren't too busy or shy to ask questions from the farmers and meat vendors we work with.
Meat cutting, I've heard, is a dying trade, and the evidence of that is the fact that work is not difficult to come by. Granted many meat cutters are raging alcoholics or drug addicts, but if you're not either one of those things, most stores are thrilled to have you and will very nearly hire you on the spot. What moves you up the corporate ladder, though, or gives you the best job security is knowing a lot ABOUT the meat you sell, not just the cuts themselves.

When I was a meatcutter (over a decade ago) all the stores were moving to replace as many meatcutter positions as possible with lower skilled and lower paid meat wrappers. When I started out in that career, on a busy night we would have maybe 5 meatcutters and 3 meatwrappers working. When I left that career on a busy night we would have 1 or 2 meatcutters working and half a dozen wrappers working.
brian in Florence, Alabama

I believe most major chains will convert to pre-packaged meat over the next 5-10 years due to the availability and costs associated with meat cutters. Wall-Mart did it to save on payroll and workman compensation claims. Others will follow suit. Smaller independents will be the last to convert, but the pay at those type stores is much less.
ZoZoBop in New Westminster, British Columbia

I am i meat cutter in a chain grocery store, and yes i have noticed they have almost gone all to pre-pack products. There is only ever one person who can cut meat on shift and most times were gone at 5pm. I rarely cut any more, only for special orders or if we run out of something. Most of the cutting is done at a central plant assembly line still were one journeyman meat cutter is in charge of 10 or more. It's just the way of the times.
ZoZoBop in New Westminster, British Columbia

Oh forgot to answer first question yes it declining, but as original poster said they are getting on in the years and almost all alcoholics, or into drugs. But there is still a demand, and it becoming a shortage, if you know your stuff there are a lot of jobs out there.

I think this may have turned around. The company I worked for as a meat manager/Chief Journeyman did go to all pre-packaged items, or at least 90% so they could get by with very few meat cutters. They found that it severely impacted sales. Many customers still want a knowledgeable journeyman meat cutter to advise them and they want to buy a product produced on-site. So now it has turned around. Pathmark made the same mistake a decade or 2 earlier in their Deli or as they call it the Appetizing dept. going to all pre-cut lunch meat. It was all about labor costs and it killed sales so they switched back in the Deli too.

In 1977 I made 10 dollars an hour as a meat cutter.I applied for a job at a corporate grocery store.They offered me part time and 15 dollars an hour. The guy putting up the kellogs corn flakes made 21 dollars an hour. There is no respect for a meat cutter any more.I would not recomend this trade to anyone. As you can train too work in the grocery where it is warm and dry and the training only lasts for 20 minutes.It is funny that we do not respect the people prepareing your protein

On Saturday, November 15th, more than 40 kids participated in the latest CONS Project: Toronto workshop series, "Creative Recycling." "Creative Recycling" taught participants the key skills of repurposing used skateboards. From building furniture from recycled skate decks to designing and painting finished pieces, the daylong workshop was led by designer, craftsman, and founder of skateboard recycling company, Deckstool, Jason Podlaski, with the help of Converse CONS Skate Ambassador, Don "Nuge" Nguyen.
Jason Podlaski.
The workshop offered participants the chance to work in small groups to build Muskoka Chairs providing them an opportunity to build and work collaboratively. After lunch, attendees worked on their individual build creating their own personal stool out of recycled skate decks.
Looking for that right piece.
CONS Project: Toronto, "Creative Recycling," was the third of five in the ongoing workshop series slated to hit the city over 2014/2015.
As one local component of the overarching North American CONS Project initiative, CONS Project: Toronto is slated to continue alongside other workshops in key cities including New York, Los Angeles, and Boston through Spring 2015.
This specialized program, geared towards up-and-coming skate and art talents, offers extensive, hands-on workshops with renowned legends and up-and-coming super stars at no cost.
