You cannot beat the price for this bistro set. Great for coffee and light dinner. Sturdy set, the right price, and it folds up for storage. This is so much better than the $700 teak set the clown at the store was trying to sell me. Don't get me wrong teak is great, but the queen is not coming over for coffee.
We love this set. It's the perfect size for our space and is well made. We were originally looking to get a teak set, however this one is perfect for the price. Ready right out of the box!
I needed something small to set on my front porch as it was looking pretty bare. These are great for a quick sit to watch the evening start and enjoy a glass of wine and a snack. They were well put together and easy to assemble. The hardest part was tying the cushion to the chair.
We purchased this for use on the front porch, won't get a ton of use but wanted something we could use when needed and would look nice. Once received we were unhappy that the cushions weren't red but the hassle of a return/exchange wasn't worth it. The set is doing it's job: looks nice out front but hasn't gotten much use so I can't say if it's a good piece for everyday use.
I received the set quickly. Took it out of the box and had on my patio in a few minutes. Nicely packaged. This is a nice set for two people to sit outside and enjoy a snack and drink! Good quaility and the cushions are nice. Very comfortable. You will not be disappointed!
Bought two sets for my cabin where thee is limited room so fold up was what I wanted. The cushions would not fold up with the chair and were wrong color so I gave them and the tables (which I didn't need) to my daughter. I used my club rewards to buy four round braided chair cushions and they fit perfectly. Only issue I had was when folded up, they needed to be leaned against the wall so I installed a small hook and eye on the side of each which keeps the chair closed for storage in an upright position. Very happy with the result.
What a great buy. This makes such a great display on my guest bedroom balcony. Excellent peice. Remember it's bistro so it's quaint.
Product was just as picture and surprisingly well made. Fast shipment, too.
This is a VERY attractive set and looks great on my porch. So far, the chairs and table seem very sturdy, and the cushions are thick and supportive.
A lovely little bistro set for a great price! Beautiful color and style, and came ready to use -- just unfold and go, no assembly required. Chairs are sturdy and comfortable, and the table is the perfect size for 2 dinner plates and 2 beverages. The local coffee shop uses this same brand (the exact same chairs, even) for their outdoor seating, so you know it has to be durable! We've used this bistro set every non-rainy day since it's arrival, and couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommended!

Quentin Tarantino's THE HATEFUL EIGHT Still On; Only Slightly Delayed
by Evan Dickson Posted 159 days ago
The last we heard about Quentin Tarantino's highly anticipated Western The Hateful Eight was that it would be shooting in November. This was a welcome turn of events in a development saga that had turned somewhat sordid. First, an early draft of the script leaked causing Tarantino to can the film and instead stage a live read. So getting a new QT movie at all was a blessing. Now comes the delay. But the good news is that it's apparently a minor one.
Kurt Russell is claiming that the film will actually be shooting next year. Which, by the way, appears to lend some credibility to the idea that the cast of the live read of Hateful Eight would be returning for the film version. That cast included Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, James Remar, Amber Tamblyn, Walton Goggins, Zoe Bell and Tim Roth. Honestly, don't expect all of them to come back. Wanting to do a project and making time for it are two completely different things and aligning those 11 schedules could be tough. Hit the jump for more on The Hateful Eight delay.

The Gay (and not so Gay) World as Seen by Rob
Posts tagged Roman Ragazzi
Roman Ragazzi, aged 38, took his own life on Thursday, February 23rd. Roman, whose real name was Dror Barak, started doing gay porn in 2007. Soon after signing on as a Raging Stallion exclusive, the former Israeli military trainer found himself in the middle of a gay porn scandal as the New York Post's Page Six outed him for working at the Israeli consulate, forcing him to resign. Later that year, he started a personal training and fitness company called Freedom Fitness.Gay porn legend
Although he stopped doing porn in 2008, Roman recently appeared in a fashion spread along side gay porn stars Nick Gruber and Blu Kennedy in the January issue of Out Magazine entitled "New York's Finest".
Devastated by the news, Raging Stallion head Chris Ward (who named Roman Raging Stallion's Man of the Year in 2008) said, "He was probably the hottest man I have ever filmed — a massive man of pure beauty, intelligence and kindness. He was perfect in every possible way."

As the fledgling family business grew, it relocated to "The Stork's Nest" in Tommerup and eventually to the FLENSTED MOBILE CENTRE in Brenderup, nearly 15 years later, where it remains today. Christian's son, Ole Flensted, and his wife Aase now continue the family tradition. Original ideas and new mobile designs are issued regularly from their "Department of Space Resarch".

text: HomeVideodrome: 'Sid & Nancy' - Gary Oldman's Star-Making Role by Hunter Duesing 27 Dec 2011 post a comment Share This: Due to obligations over the Christmas holiday, there will be no HomeVideodrome podcast this week. For the anarchistic, screw-you attitude that comes with punk rock in movies, one need look no further than the films of Alex Cox. "Repo Man" is the greatest movie ever made when it comes to capturing the punk aesthetic, and even Cox's lesser works like "Straight to Hell" share its chaotic mindset. Cox's great genre love is the spaghetti western. He can be found on the supplements to numerous DVDs discussing films by the likes of Sergio Leone and Sergio Corbucci. But even when he dabbles in the western in films like "Walker," the snarling spirit of punk comes seeping through (methinks the magnificent score by the late Joe Strummer in that particular film certainly adds to it). Only once has Cox delved into a straightforward fictionalization of a chapter in the history of punk, and that's when he chronicled the most unhealthy relationship in the history of rock n' roll with "Sid & Nancy" in 1986. The way Cox chose to depict his subjects caught a great deal of flak from the community it depicts, as John Lydon himself dismissed the film as "mere fantasy ... the Peter Pan version," and Clash bassist Paul Simonon decried what he saw as a depiction of Lydon as a "fat, beer-slurping idiot. Lydon, however, did give props to the great Gary Oldman's performance in the lead as Sid Vicious, but he noted that Oldman "only played the stage persona as opposed to the real person." But "Sid & Nancy" isn't a film that feels like a presentation of deep personal truth. For that, one must go watch Julien Temple's excellent "The Filth and The Fury," which chronicles the history of The Sex Pistols in a delightfully formless manner. Instead, Cox's film feels like the the sort of truth that this psychotic couple represent to the world of punk rock; it is the depiction of their public persona rather than one that gets to know the "real" Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen. It's the Sid and Nancy we see handcuffed together in a photograph, sneering into the camera. While Oldman had been noted for giving standout performances in films like Mike Leigh's underseen TV movie "Meantime," "Sid & Nancy" was the movie where he erupted as a force of a nature in the acting world, proving himself to be a leading man of undeniable intensity. Chloe Webb reaches a perfect level of shrill sycophancy as Nancy, and their toxic chemistry builds until it finally poisons them on that fateful, heroin-soaked evening in the Hotel Chelsea. Where "Sid & Nancy" falters is on its final notes, the taxi to the heavens being a sourly sentimental note to end such a bleak rock n' roll relationship saga on. The film comes to Blu-ray this week, and it's a shame that Criterion no longer retains the rights to release it as their old DVD edition goes for a pretty penny. The Blu-ray sports a few bite-sized featurettes but nothing on the level that was contained on the Criterion release. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll be able to bring it back in a nice, updated Blu-ray package, but for now, this is what we get, and it ain't bad. Available on Blu-ray Other Noteworthy Releases Final Destination 5: These movies are essentially excuses to kill people in complex, absurdly violent ways, which is something I fully support. Silly, formulaic horror comfort food. May give you gas later. Available on Blu-ray and DVD Apollo 18: My favorite kind of horror is horror with a shot of science fiction, but the "found footage" gimmick is old hat. Available on Blu-ray and DVD Hostel - Part III: Here's the sure sign we're in the post-holiday DVD dumping ground. I've fallen so out of touch with the underbelly of the horror genre that I was unaware that "Hostel" was still a thing. Available on DVD In the Name of the King 2: The first movie in this newly-minted, uh, "series" is a bit of a guilty pleasure. The misfire casting (Burt Reynolds?! MATTHEW LILLARD?!), the ham-crusted cheeseball dialogue, the impressive choreography by Ching Siu-Tung, and Jason Statham's cold stare make it a trashy delight. So, will I be watching Uwe Boll's sequel starring Dolph "I Must Break You " Lundgren? Um, hell yes. Available on Blu-ray, DVD, and Amazon Instant Brighton Rock: An adaptation of the Graham Greene novel starring Sam Riley and Helen Mirren. Carol Reed did wonders with Greene's material, seeing it with Rowan Joffe's modern eye should be interesting. Available on DVD

General gamer consensus seems to be that developer Infinity Ward makes the "real" Call of Duty games, having originated the series to begin with, while developer Treyarch makes the "other" Call of Duty games. Based on what I just witnessed at publisher Activision's E3 booth, however, that rule might be changing. A half-hour and two levels of Call of Duty: Black Ops were enough to convince me that the benchwarmer is now fully capable of outshining the superstar. At least in these four ways…
Remember the AC-130 gunship from the first Modern Warfare, in which you rained death upon tiny enemy blips through a grainy night vision targeting screen? In Black Ops, you'll put on a 1960s-era astronaut suit, jump into an SR-71 Blackbird and launch into an outer orbit that might as well be outer space. Then you'll actually direct those little white dots on, helping them avoid enemy patrols from 80,000 feet above the Earth.
Remember the stealth missions in Modern Warfare, in which you crawled painstakingly along the ground, sniping enemies from between blades of gray grass? During the same Black Ops mission described above – "WMD" – you'll switch perspectives and control a man on the ground, slithering stealthily through the snow as patrols walk by unaware. Only in this game, when you're ready to announce your presence, you do so with a scoped crossbow that sends bodies hurtling through the air. Or, if you choose the explosive arrows, marks them with a blinking green dot… which, after a few dramatic seconds, blasts them into bloody smithereens.
Remember rappelling down a dusty cliff in Modern Warfare 2, or leaping wildly across that frozen chasm? In the Black Ops E3 demo, I watched as the Treyarch developers rappelled down the side of a building, then kicked through the windows in slow-motion, shooting the waiting worker's faces before the glass had even fallen to the ground. And when the Black Ops protagonist hurtled off a ledge, there was no Soap MacTavish to catch him… he began free-falling towards the ground, with the player controlling his dizzying, wind-whipped direction.
Finally, remember all those times you've jumped into a Call of Duty helicopter, then sat back and spammed the trigger button as your NPC pal did all the piloting? In Black Ops, calling "shotgun" is no longer your only option. My E3 demo ended in the jungles of Vietnam, with the protagonist using a grenade launcher to take out an enemy base. The goal: Steal the Hind helicopter inside. Once obtained, a friend lifts the bird into the sky, but immediately afterwards – in what will come as a shock to any unprepared Call of Duty fans – he hands the job over to you. Left analog moves the helicopter, while the right analog…
Well, the right analog unleashes hell. You're not just piloting – you're launching missiles at the same time. I watched as men, trees, rows of jeeps and entire villages were instantly transformed into echoing fireballs. As bridges were destroyed in individual pieces. As guerrilla caves built into cliffs were incinerated. And as the protagonist's helicopter was outnumbered by two enemy helicopters, and a rocket-streaked dogfight broke out in the middle of a tropical river ravine. One bad guy's bird went down, and our helicopter strafed through the resulting cloud of black smoke to surprise the second. And then the E3 demo ended, leaving me with a single thought: I won't automatically dismiss the "other" Call of Duty games again any time soon.

Men Lose at Bethel
ARDEN HILLS, Minn. - The MLC men's basketball team was unable to get anything going on either end of the court in a 93-38 loss at Bethel Saturday afternoon.
The Knights had a forgettable day offensively, shooting 19.6 percent from the field for the game, and shot 14.3 percent in the second half. Bethel shot 55.2 percent from the field, and also shot well from distance, going 6-11 from beyond the three-point arc.
Bethel controlled the game from the early going, turning an 8-6 lead early in the game into a 17-point lead after an 18-3 run, helping them take a 53-19 lead into the half and cruise the rest of the way for the win.
Justin Danell and Galen Holzhueter led the Knights with nine points apiece, with Danell adding nine rebounds.
With the loss, MLC dropped to 0-7, while Bethel improved to 5-3 with the win.
MLC will return to action on Monday, December 12, when it travels to Saint John's for a 7 p.m. game.

By David Gill
Speaking of his first months on the job, Norm Savaria, who became president and CEO of WestPoint Home in June, characterized this period as "managing a lot of change."
WestPoint Home as a whole has been managing a lot of change for the past several years, and Savaria—and Taran Chernin, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, who also joined the company in June—are only the most recent changes.
Savaria, who worked for WestPoint in the 1980s before joining Revman, succeeded John Piazza, who himself succeeded Joe Pennachio in 2008. Chernin— whose career includes home-fashion, product-development, private-label and global-sourcing positions with Bloomingdale's and Linens 'n Things—will now apply her expertise on the vendor side of the business.
Savaria and Chernin are in the top spots of a big home textiles company that used to be much bigger. Once accounting for about $2 billion in annual sales, WestPoint Home has seen its top line sag since the beginning of the century. Its sales in 2010 totaled $429 million, less than half its sales for 2006. The bleeding has continued into this year; for the first half of 2011, sales took a 24 percent dive. The bottom line has been consistently red as well, with net losses in every fiscal year since Icahn Enterprises acquired the company in 2005.
Speaking to HFN, Savaria and Chernin said their first moves were to visit WestPoint's manufacturing facilities and retail customers. Then they set to work in constructing a strategic plan for the company.
"We are addressing this in two ways," Savaria said. "We need to concentrate on our core fundamental strengths, including our state-of-the-art manufacturing in countries that make sense and our people who have the knowledge and expertise we need. We need to expand our manufacturing capacity in existing and possibly new facilities. We also need to focus on what I call the 'fuel' side of the business, which consists of product and innovation."
The strategic plan also should address what lies in the road ahead, according to Chernin. "We need to build a culture focused on the future," she said. "We also need to focus on the end consumer. We need to develop products that help peoples' lives, that help them become more fashionable in their homes."
Both executives look upon the future as loaded with opportunities for WestPoint Home, and one of those opportunities is in expanding its business with its current customers. "We feel we can be a big sheet supplier to retailers where we are already big towel suppliers, for example," Savaria said, "or be a bigger basic-bedding supplier where we are already a big sheet supplier. We have to persuade our retailers that there are efficiencies in working with a one-stop resource, and that we believe we can be that for them."
Another opportunity is in restoring WestPoint's good name as a fashion resource for the home. "We have added significantly to our design staff since we've been here," Chernin said. "We have also done deep dives into lifestyles. We have a broad consumer base, but we will edit our looks down."
Reestablishing WestPoint as a fashion provider is a particular challenge, given the change in its relationship with Ralph Lauren. Late last year, Polo Ralph Lauren and WestPoint announced that the designer brand would bring all of its sourcing for the home line in house, ending a license relationship between the two companies of 29 years. Savaria noted that WestPoint still manufactures decorative bedding for the brand, although it no longer has the license, and that WestPoint still holds the Ralph Lauren license in basic bedding.
Even without Ralph Lauren, according to Chernin, WestPoint still has a stable of reliable brands. "Consumer studies show that Martex, Patrician, Utica and Lady Pepperell still have good recognition," she said. "We also have a core commitment to the WestPoint Home brand, and we are still committed to our Hanes, Joe Caribbean and Izod licenses."
Bringing all of its advantages to the fore was a key strategy for WestPoint during last month's New York Home Fashions Market. "We wanted to present what's exciting about us," Chernin said. "The merchants and buyers should understand our core, which is that we are classification experts in sheets, towels and utility bedding. They should also understand our private-label capabilities."
The road ahead will continue to present challenges, according to Savaria. "I think we'll see choppy sales results through the spring of next year," he said. "By next fall, we'll see stability."

Scotiabank forecasts US$4/lb. copper price for 2011, 2012
While copper consumption growth is expected to slow in China, iron ore prices in the country will stay strong, Scotiabank VP Patricia Mohr forecasts, which bodes well for Canadian iron ore miners.
Posted: Monday , 03 Oct 2011
Current copper prices are still quite profitable for copper miners, yielding a 54% profit margin over average world breakeven costs including royalties, depreciation and interest expense, says Scotiabank economist Patricia Mohr.
Recent on-the-ground surveys point to soft orders for China's copper fabricators in the fourth quarter, though global supply & demand are expected to remain balanced with a slight deficit of 30,000 tonnes, Mohr observed in the recent Scotiabank Commodity Price Index.
China's refined copper consumption should advance by 8% in 2011, though the pace of growth will decelerate from 11% yr/yr in the first half of this year to 7% yr/yr in the third quarter to 4.5% yr/yr in the fourth quarter, she said.
With a slower than normal seasonal pick-up in copper demand now anticipated for China in the fourth quarter, Scotiabank revised down its average price forecast to just over US$4 per pound for 2011 and 2012. However, Mohr predicted, "Copper prices could well rally back as 2012 unfolds."
Meanwhile, zinc and nickel "have also been buffeted by concern over the economic outlook, though current LME zinc prices at US$0.85 per pound still yield average world profit margins of 39%," Mohr noted. "Nickel at US$8.38 is also at a lucrative level."
However, Mohr observed, aluminum prices, hovering around US$1 per pound, are only marginally profitable. "While China could soon become a net importer, given its double-digit consumption growth, we believe China will attempt to maintain its aluminum self-sufficiency for a while longer," she advised. "The shutdown of older, higher-cost smelters in the East will be more than offset by huge smelter expansion in the Western and Northern provinces, where ample supplies of steam coal are being developed for power generation."
Mohr also predicted, "Iron ore prices will stay strong in China-underpinned by curtailed shipments from India, the world's third-largest exporter of iron ore-a positive development for Labrador, Quebec and Baffin Island iron ore miners."
"India's exports will continue to fall over the short term due to higher export duties, an increasing number of mining bans linked to the environmental damage from illegal mining in states such as Karnataka and growing domestic steel production," she added.
"The outlook for potash remains firm," Mohr advised. She forecasts that spot prices for standard grade potash will increase by US$25 to US$535 (cfr or delivered) in Southeast Asia in the fourth quarter, "though sales have so far been spotty, with ample inventories in Malaysia and Indonesia, built up earlier this year."

Hillary Clinton kicked off the Democratic convention with a plea for unity, but behind closed doors she has been busy negotiating what that might look like. One thing's for sure: It may be Barack Obama's big week, but there's going to be plenty of Clinton face time in Denver.
Both Hillary and Bill have prime-time speaking slots, and there will be a Chelsea appearance and even a screening of a short biographical video celebrating Hillary Clinton.
On top of all that, the AP is reporting that Hillary may play the role of kingmaker.
AP via Google:
Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are working on a deal to give her some votes in the presidential nomination roll call, but end the divided balloting quickly with a unanimous consent for Obama.
Democratic officials involved in the negotiations say the idea is that at the start of the state-by-state roll call Wednesday night, delegates would cast their votes for Clinton or Obama.
But the voting would be cut off after a couple states, perhaps ending with New York, when Clinton herself would call for a unanimous backing for Obama from the convention floor.

Ist Place: Vulpix: An unusual composition, having the subject so far to the right, but because the background is such a glorious shade of red it works! You've caught your mum and the fan brilliantly, very well thought out! (This would look so good printed out, framed and put on that wonderful wall!)
2nd Place: Alexandral: The red dye/food colouring has made some wonderful swirling shapes, against a lovely plain background - a brilliant idea!
3d Place: Gab_SP: The colours here are stunning - the red against the blue and white, absolutely beautiful! You've focused on the bubbles brilliantly, not easy through glass!
Sararose: A beautiful Pomegranate, the seeds look so pretty with the pips seeming to light up their centers. There are some wonderful water droplets too - you've focused brilliantly and managed to fill the whole of the frame with gorgeous tones of red!
ThestreetsofLondon: An iconic symbol of the UK, an old red telephone box. We really like the angle you've used to capture it. Having the sky white leaves all our attention on that gorgeous, eye catching red.
Alice170596: Brilliantly thought out. We really liked the curl of the tape measure as it flowed down the red cushion - you've managed to focus on the numbers brilliantly, they are lovely and sharp.
Jakester: Another telephone box, but it couldn't be more different! We really like the way you've focused on the tired, broken window and have managed to capture the actual telephone in the background - perhaps showing how the public telephone boxes are now a thing of the past.
JennyMoose: What an ecclectic mix - it's wonderful to see just how many red things you could find. A wonderful composition, with the perfect coloured background (red & black always look fantastic together). Very well thought out!
Cameraboy: You have managed to capture the atmosphere of the march brilliantly - the lads look so wonderfully smart in their red uniforms.
CanonGreg: We really like the tiny red bloom against that gorgeous green leaf - well spotted! The red just seems to shine out!
Digitalgirl: What a fantastic capture in very low light levels! The red stage and all the red spotlights make a wonderful entry.
Dan5: You have captured this red flower brilliantly! It's really difficult to capture flowers in the garden (they keep moving!). We really like the way you've managed to nearly fill the frame with the beautiful petals.
Drayl002: You have captured the movement of the vehicles beautifully, creating those wonderful red light trails - we really like the way you chose a bend to create those curves.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on July 19, 2013
In yet another move to advance the gun control agenda of President Barack Obama and billionaire anti-gun Mayor Michael Bloomberg, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) is taking his betrayal of gun owners to the next level.
Early next week, Manchin will be the guest of honor at a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser hosted by Mayor Bloomberg at his opulent Manhattan mansion, as he continues to misrepresent his failed legislation. Back in April, the Senate voted on, and rejected, the Obama Administration's gun control agenda. The underlying bill Obama wanted to see pass was S. 649, by Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), the "universal background checks" provisions of which came from Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.). Because Schumer's legislation was too severe to have any chance of passage, Manchin and Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.)--along with Schumer--proposed a compromise amendment in the hope of winning additional votes. However, the amendment was riddled with pitfalls for gun owners, and even some potentially pro-gun provisions added to sweeten the pot were flawed. The amendment fell four votes short of the 60 that were required for passage under a rule the Senate adopted to avoid a filibuster. Manchin's latest, misguided proposal criminalizes certain private transfers of firearms between honest citizens -- requiring lifelong friends, neighbors and some family members to get federal government permission to exercise a fundamental right or face prosecution. As we have noted previously, expanding background checks, at gun shows or elsewhere, will not stop mass shootings, reduce violent crime or keep our kids safe in their schools. In addition, the amendment would open the door to a national registry of gun owners. Please call Sen. Manchin today at (202) 224-3954 and tell him your freedoms can't be bought with Bloomberg's money! And let him know you oppose his legislative proposal that would restrict the rights of America's law-abiding gun owners.

Editor's note: David Frum, a CNN contributor, was a special assistant to President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2002. He is the author of six books, including "Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again."
Washington (CNN) -- Mitt Romney ended a very bad week with a pretty good weekend.
Tuesday, Romney lost two caucuses and a nonbinding primary to Rick Santorum. Saturday, Romney won the also nonbinding Maine caucuses and the straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Romney's front-runner status has been restored. But at what price?
Four weeks from now, no one will remember the Maine caucuses. I'm guessing though that people will remember a phrase from Romney's speech to CPAC on Friday, in which he described himself as a "severely conservative" governor of Massachusetts.
That phrase provides the Obama campaign with the second half of a potentially powerful negative ad. The first half is contained in this video clip from Romney's 2002 campaign for governor.
In the 2002 clip, Romney tells a reporter:
"I think people recognize that I'm not a partisan Republican, that I'm someone who is moderate, and my views are progressive."
In other words, on his way into the governorship, Romney promised moderation and progressivism. By his own telling in 2012, that's not what Romney delivered. Message: With Romney, you don't know what you're getting. You can't trust him.
By all accounts, the "severely conservative" phrase was a slip of the tongue. Romney intended to say "strongly conservative."
What was not a mistake -- what was carefully considered -- was Romney's other big appeal to conservatives this week. That was his decision to join the battle against the Obama administration's new contraception rule. Romney told Fox News on Thursday: "This effort with regard to contraception ... is an outrageous assault on religious conscience in this country."
The new rule would have required all employers to include contraception in their health plans subject only to very tightly defined religious exemptions. In practical terms, the Catholic Church would not be required to cover contraception for a secretary in a church office but would be required to cover a secretary working at a church-sponsored hospital. (On Friday, President Barack Obama said the rule would be changed to require that insurers, not religious institutions, provide the contraception coverage.)
The next day, Romney told attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference that he acted to prevent Massachusetts from becoming "the Las Vegas of gay marriage" -- a throwback to his 2008 attempt to position himself as a social conservative and a deviation from his general practice in 2011-2012 of avoiding hot-button social issues.
It's been a pattern for Romney through this election cycle. Whenever Romney feels under pressure, he lurches right. We saw that pattern assert itself most recently in December, when Romney responded to Newt Gingrich's first surge by endorsing the Ryan budget plan, a step Romney had to that point resisted. Now in February, after losing Tuesday's three votes, Romney is debating contraception and gay rights.
Worse for him, the congressional Republican party has raised the ante, introducing in the Senate a bill that would allow any employer, religious or not, to deny contraception coverage.
These are not the issues Romney will want to discuss in the general election or the positions upon which he will want to be judged. But they are being forced upon him as the price of the nomination and he is acquiescing, to his and his party's future cost.

The exhibitions section is currently being refreshed, and will be relaunched soon.
In partnership with TGW Solutions
John Linnell (1792-1882) was one of the most successful and admired Victorian artists. Brought up in Bloomsbury, London, where his father was a frame maker and picture dealer, Linnell was a precocious talent. As a child he would copy the works of the popular artist, George Morland, for his father, who sold them to clients. He began his formal art training at the Royal Academy Schools aged thirteen, and found companionship with older students including Benjamin Robert Haydon and David Wilkie. Linnell shared lodgings with William Mulready, an artist he intensely admired, and a small portrait of Mulready in the Gallery's Collection, painted by Linnell in 1833, testifies to their lasting friendship.
Drawn from the Gallery's collection of works on paper, this display focuses on Linnell's intimate drawings and watercolours and includes portraits of patrons and friends, such as the artist William Blake, whom Linnell championed and supported.

Tiny Pocket Scout Tee Stash Busting
The Goal: Have you ever been in the mood to sew something really quick? Just a need for instant gratification in sewing? I had recently printed and cut out this pattern so it was ready to go. It's not that often that I can finish a project in only a couple hours. This was just what I needed!
The Pattern: Grainline Studio's Scout Woven Tee (with the tiny pocket pattern piece from the Tiny Pocket Tank). I cut a size four and it fits great!
The Fabric: Leftovers from this dress that I finished a couple weeks ago. I had just enough to make it except I used pre-packaged bias tape for the neckline facing because I didn't have enough bias pieces of fabric remaining. It's a floral cotton voile that I bought at a local store. Yay for stash busting!
The Changes: Nothing! Well, for fit anyway. I did add the pocket 'cause I thought it was cute.
The Results: I really like this shirt. I could totally see making easy variations of this top for different looks. This shirt may not fit my resolution to make more solid color tops to go with more items in my wardrobe but it will go with jeans and it's the perfect platform for fancy necklaces. It's a versatile pattern.
My friend Susan, who made this pattern before me, and I were talking about how great this pattern was but I didn't really take that to heart until I made it myself. See, from the line drawing this top seems so simple, unexciting and almost ignorable but once you look closer at the pattern pieces you notice how well designed this little top is.
The sleeves curve gently at the center, giving a nice, angled shape on your arm. The hem is ever so slightly longer in the back than the front so it gives some extra coverage when you sit down in your low-rise jeans but hit at the perfect place in front if you want to show off a belt.
And then there's the no-dart business. Jen Beeman, the designer, shaped the top of the front and back pieces so well that the shirt fits at the shoulder with no gaping at the neck or excess fabric at the armcye and flows below the bust. When you look at the armholes of the front and back pieces the front armhole looks much shorter than the back, which seems odd at first but it totally works and helps to not need any darts. This lady really knows how make some 2D lines fit over a 3D woman's curves and that's skill.

lovely! so glad you mentioned the drafting details, my need for bust darts is very very small...ReplyDeleteReplies

Love it! This looks nice and easy. Shall have to check it out :)ReplyDelete
I love this top! I haven't made the scout tee yet - but I really appreciated the pattern breakdown. I love how this is such a simple garment but the fit is dead on.ReplyDeleteReplies
I can totally imagine that this pattern would fit in really well with your style. You should try it out!Delete
Your top looks great and I love your pattern analysis! It's hard to really show the fit in the line drawing, like you said, so thanks for this little rundown!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Jen! I really enjoy your patterns.Delete
yes! I have been having this same itch to sew something very quick and that's where Ohhh Lulu's high waisted panty has been coming in!ReplyDelete
First of all, you look fab! Secondly, I love how you;ve highlighted the different elements of this pattern that make it work. I'm defo checking this one out! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I would have totally overlooked this style, had I not seen how nice yours is! I live near Buffalo NY, so it will have to wait until next summer, but I will be making one then! Thanks for the detailed description.ReplyDelete

tweet last night and by the title of this post, but I have some wonderful news to share with you all!
When I first stumbled into the blogging world, it seemed that my beliefs weren't "the thing" to talk about, because it seemed to be part of my very personal life. I didn't want to post anything that might "offend" my readers. How silly of me to do that in the first place. My blog is about my real life. I got too worried about offending a reader more than actually thinking about who I am and what is best for me. Starting today, the blog is going in a new, brighter direction. Yes, I am still featuring outfits, diy, photos from around the home, etc! This will just be a new addition! Read my story below to understand more.
For as long as I can remember, I have been so absolutely passionate about the Lord. I love God with absolutely every single part of my being. My Pastor always told me when I was little that I had a bright future with the Lord, and I would have one powerful testimony. He could see His spirit in my eyes. I became star pupil in my Bible study groups and absorbed as much knowledge as I possibly could about God. In my younger teens, I decided that I wanted to be a missionary. I wanted to travel and teach people about God. I started teaching my brother's friends about God and reading to them from the Bible. They would all sit quietly and would beg for me to teach them another lesson. I was so close and connected to God that I felt invincible.
Then 2006 came. I suddenly started getting sick to the point of throwing up and going to the hospital regularly. I had migraines and major stomach pains. My skin went pale and my eyes became sunk and glazed with dark circles underneath them. I lost 6 pant sizes in a matter of 3 weeks. One of my high school teachers made me get up in front of my class, pointed at me, and said "This is what it looks like when you let drugs take over your life." I started refusing to go anywhere because people would stare and whisper about me. I wouldn't eat or talk to anyone. I would stay at home in bed and sleep most of the day. Later that year, my high school principal told my mom that I could not come back because I missed too many days of my sophomore year, and that they were "concerned" about my well being. I was put into homeschooling. Hundreds of doctors, Neurologists, Psychiatrists, couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. My friends didn't understand. Everyday was a losing battle and just progressively getting worse.
In 2009 I went to the emergency room in heart failure. My pulse rate was 19 beats per minute. I was transferred to Central Georgia Heart Center to see a cardiology specialist named Dr. Carmine Oddis. On July 4, 2009, he diagnosed me with P.O.T.S. After two weeks, I left the hospital. I was bed ridden for the first two months. I wore a heart monitor for 3 months after that and constantly went back and forth between hospitals and home. I had to be assisted everywhere I went and could never be left alone. I had to take cold showers less than 10 minutes because I couldn't stand longer than that without passing out. I couldn't go to church. I couldn't hang out with friends. I couldn't drive. I couldn't leave my house. I couldn't do anything. It was all taken away from me in a matter of weeks. 2009-2010 was pure hell on Earth. I lost all hope of ever being normal again, and being a missionary was certainly the last thing on my mind. In early 2010, Dr. Oddis finally got me on the right medication. I could stand longer, move around a little more, and give myself just enough time to do normal day stuff. Then I started this blog. I didn't know exactly where I wanted it to go, but I just wanted my voice to be heard and to make sure that my life wasn't pointless anymore. I had lost all touch with God. I begged and cried, "Why would you do this to me? All I want is to serve you. I don't deserve this!" God went silent on me for 4 long years. I heard nothing. I had no direction. I was hopelessly lost.
Then Casting Crowns came out with this song. I listened to this song almost every single day. I started praying and thanking God for everything he had given me. I was going to obey his will. No matter what happened, I was going to thank Him for it. My plans were tossed to the side and brand new ones were opened up. He opened my eyes and helped me see what had truly been going on in my life. I completely hit rock bottom. The deepest of the lowest pit that ever existed. My life had completely fallen apart. I fell to my hands and knees and asked God to send me someone that would take care of me and would love Him just as much as I did. A faithful man that knew my needs, but would exceed them. That's when I met Josh.
Joshua. This wonderful, beautiful, loving, sincere man. He came from a family of Preachers and missionaries. We met each other at the exact timing that we needed each other. As time went by, he knew my illness, he knew my needs, he knew my heart. And he loved me. Even after all of that and every part of me that he knew, he loved me. God had answered my prayers and exceeded my expectations. I needed him more than anything in my life. God had placed me in this family of missionaries, but I had no idea how I would do it in the future while trying to live with this illness. Then Josh taught me how to pray. He taught me to let go and forgive those that had hurt me in my past. He taught me to trust God fully that he will answer all of my prayers, because everything is in God's timing, not our own. That was in 2011.
For almost two weeks, I've been doing a Bible study, When God Speaks, trying to understand God's voice when he talks. I was still searching for His voice. Still striving to hear something, anything, from God. I would pray.. "God, why aren't you speaking to me? I want to know your plans for my life and what you want me to do- show me!"
Yesterday, Josh brought home this tiny red video camera in order for me to do vlogs on the blog. He knew how long I had been patiently waiting for a video camera (ahem, two years!!) I couldn't have been happier. Later that night, as I was doing my studies, I looked at the video camera while holding the Bible and my study book in my lap. I kept looking at it and thinking "What in the world am I going to vlog about? I'm not very good at makeup, I think outfit videos are really awkward and somewhat pointless.." and in the midst of my jumbled thoughts my mind just cleared. Then it happened. God spoke to me. This is what he showed me. In my mind I was sitting on our bed in front of an open window, legs Indian style, Bible in my lap, notebook and highlighters scattered at both of my sides. I was talking on and on and on about different verses, laughing, smiling, so vibrant and happily explaining what I had heard from God. Singing songs I loved on camera. Testifying the truth and the love. I was online ministering. I was overwhelmed with joy and almost started crying! (I'm actually crying right now!) I immediately grabbed my notebook and started jotting down ideas and what I had seen. "You finally did it God, I can finally hear you now." I cried as I wrote in my notebook. "I can't believe this is really happening!"
And that was my amazing story! Conclusion? From now on, there will be a new feature called "Ministry". This feature will be all about scripture, encouraging verses, teachings from the Bible, songs of praise and worship, and prayer to help you through each week. I'll take personal emails and testimonies that I can share with readers. This is my way of spreading the Gospel. Even though I may be sick still, I can still spread the word! Praise God for showing me the way! I hope you'll tune in this Saturday for our study. Make sure to bring a Bible, highlighter, notebook, and a pen! :) xoxox

shredded scrap,
David J. Joseph,
River Metal Recycling,
PSC Metals,
Schnitzer Steel
NEW YORK David J. Joseph Co. (DJJ) has halted a shredder at one of its facilities in Kentucky.
The shredder, which forms part of the Henderson, Ky., operations of DJJ-owned River Metals Recycling LLC (RMR), was idled earlier this week.
A spokeswoman for DJJ, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Charlotte, N.C.-based steelmaker Nucor Corp., confirmed the development, saying that RMR idled its shredding department Monday "in response to current market conditions."
The company did not specify how many jobs were affected by the move, but industry estimates peg the number at around 10.
"Although there is a change in the work force in Henderson, the employees are being given the opportunity to transfer to other recycling operations within the David J. Joseph family of companies across the U.S.," the spokeswoman told AMM.
RMR installed the worlds first Gamma-Tech online bulk shredded scrap analyzer at its Newport, Ky., yard in 2002, and later installed online bulk analyzers at other RMR yards, including its Henderson facility.
Developed by a former DJJ employee, the Gamma-Tech machine analyzes shredded scrap for contaminants as it moves along a conveyor. DJJ has said previously that the technology can accurately determine the chemistry of scrap grades and reduce variability in designing blends and scrap charges.
The decision to idle a shredder follows moves by other large scrap companies to restructure and consolidate businesses as the industry battles a challenging economy.
Earlier this week, Sims Metal Management Ltd. sold two Arizona recycling facilities to its 50-50 joint venture, SA Recycling LLC (amm.com, Dec. 3); last month, OmniSource Corp. laid off between 40 and 50 workers at its Southeast division (amm.com, Nov. 20) and PSC Metals Inc. laid off more than 100 workers (amm.com, Nov. 9); and in late August, Schnitzer Steel Industries Inc. said it would cut 300 jobs, or about 7 percent of its total work force (amm.com, Aug. 28).

I applaud DJJ for taking this action. Due to the over capacity in the shredding industry, the scrap business is suffering far more than it should. This country can not support 300 plus auto shredders and more should follow DJJ.

Grizzly Bear Goes to the Orchestra
- Words: Jennifer Marston
While it's a trend we've seen for years, indie rock bands teaming up with orchestras is nonetheless something that always gets our attention–and apparently Michael Christie's too. The Brooklyn Philharmonic Music Director first grabbed the (non-classical) music world's attention two years ago, when he collaborated with Antony & The Johnsons. Now he turns his attention towards the members of Grizzly Bear and Owen Pallett's Final Fantasy project.
Christie will lead the two parties through a performance on February 28, 2009 at the Howard Gilman Opera House that involves performing new orchestrations of their songs alongside Brooklyn Philharmonic musicians. As these things go, it's hard to predict what the outcome of this collaboration will sound like, but with the young, hip, and talented composer Nico Muhly re-orchestrating Grizzly Bear's songs and whiz kid Pallett doing his own arrangements, the evening should be worth dusting off your best skinny jeans and heading down to the opera house for.
Tickets go on sale October 20 at 10 a.m. Pick them up at the Brooklyn Philharmonic website or by calling 718-636-4100.

For Immediate Release
Date: 03/14/11
AUGUSTA - State Rep. Joyce Maker will serve as House chair of the Citizen Trade Policy Commission (CTPC) during this legislative session, putting her in position to help analyze the impact of international trade agreements on the Maine workforce.
Rep. Maker (R-Calais), a first-term legislator, said she is honored by the appointment. "I look forward to voicing my concerns and making policy recommendations to protect Maine's jobs and business environment from the negative impact of trade agreements," she said.
"Free trade is a good thing overall," she added, "but it must be fair trade, and too often it is not. First and foremost, we must look after the economic well-being of our country and American citizens."
The CPTC was established by the Legislature in 2003 to provide an ongoing, state-level mechanism to assess the effect of international trade policies and agreements on the state's laws, working conditions and business climate. Through the commission, citizens and legislators can express their concerns and complaints and design policy recommendations to mitigate the negative impact of trade agreements on the Maine economy.
"International trade policies are complex and developed through long negotiations at the national level," said Rep. Maker, a retired college administrator and financial aid director. "Currently, they are negotiated without meaningful participation of the states. Consequently, in seeking to open trade opportunities, they can affect state sovereignty and regulatory authority."
The CTPC has 17 voting members, including three state representatives and three state senators. The group also includes a small business owner, a small farmer, a representative of a Maine-based corporation active in international trade and the Maine attorney general.
Other members, appointed by the Legislature's presiding officers, include a Maine-based manufacturer, a member of a nonprofit human rights organization, an environmentalist and a representative of organized labor.
The trade policy panel meets at least twice a year and files an annual report about the impact of international trade agreements on Maine's state laws, municipal laws, working conditions and business environment. ###

Somebody gave "The Counselor" some bad advice.
The Ridley Scott drama, with a screenplay by former El Pasoan Cormac McCarthy, stiffed at the box office over the weekend, finishing fourth overall with a gross of only $8 million.
That pales compared to the $32 million grossed, literally and figuratively, by Johnny Knoxville's "Bad Grandpa."
"Gravity" dropped to second (saw it over the weekend, liked it, but not as much as I thought I would) and "Captain Phillips" fell to third.
"The Counselor," about a trendy El Paso lawyer who gets involved in a drug deal, got some pretty bad reviews. The Hollywood Reporter called it "a beautiful bummer," and Rolling Stone gave it two out of four stars.
Though it was set here and in Juarez, most of it was shot in London and Spain for a budget reported at around $25 million, relatively low for a Scott film.
A crew of about 40, minus a glittering cast that includes Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, shot a handful of exteriors here in January.

With atrocious timing, the Minerals Management Service has approved a new oil well to be drilled off the coast of Louisiana. As decisions go, this one seems dumber than a bag of nails. Why not just build an offshore bucket? There's plenty of oil in the water these days. You can thank Team Obama, which let a ban on shallow drilling expire, for this bizarre development. —PZS
AP via Google:
The Minerals Management Service granted a new drilling permit sought by Bandon Oil and Gas for a site about 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana and 115 feet below the ocean's surface. It's south of Rockefeller State Wildlife Refuge and Game Preserve, far to the west of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that triggered the BP spill.
Obama last week extended a moratorium on wells in deep water like the BP one that blew out a mile below the surface in April and is gushing millions of gallons of oil. But at the same time, the president quietly allowed a three-week-old ban on drilling in shallow water to expire.

EHR a Money-Loser for Most Physicians
She says small practices should look for help from their regional IT extension centers, or even consider some sort of joint venture or cooperative with a larger healthcare entity.
"To the extent that that is palatable to a practice there is a lot of advantage to working with a larger organization that can bring down the cost and help with a lot of the other changes that need to go along with EHR adoption to make it easier on small practices," she says. "This is not to say it is not doable for small practices. But it's a much harder road and going into it with that awareness and taking the time to figure out the best approach is what I would spend my time doing."
While she considers herself an advocate for EHR, Adler-Milstein says she is fearful that the findings in the study will be used by critics to call the movement a failure.
"The real struggle we are in now is around how these systems were sold—as a magic wand and not as a tool," she says. "They are not a magic wand. You don't put them in and the next day you see higher-quality lower-cost care. The reality is there is a lot of hard work that has to go into seeing the benefits. In small practices they need help and support to do that hard work."
"For me it's nice to have evidence to point to what we need to do differently to realize the benefits. And I hope that is the attitude that others will share—which is we need to figure out how to do this right."

The basic benefit from EHR is health, welfare and safety of patients we love together with improved quality, reduction of redundancy and cost . This thought certainly is well known but in order to achieve there are many factors apart from EHR cost Participation of patients , infrastructure IT management and willingness of empowered people to listen from actual practitioners and keep the necessary element in meaningful use and not force folks such as-specialist to spend time in core and menu items [INVALID] may create error or omissions The thought that senior doctors can not type as good as young ones and that is an obstacle is myth. Who says they have to type They h ave to enter data EHR is wonderful tool and that will be quite a joy when you give visit summary report to patient end of visit and go over No better doctor patient relationships Do it as it s not EHR but it is the environment of providing art of healing to hurt from regulations ,consumers and politicians mistrust and compensation below the par looking at the life and death decisions health care providers make for the good of children's disabled elderly women and uninsured Sequestrations has been going on in health care and will continue so fight the challenge as health of the nation will improve by providing good care Best Debate and make impact Dinesh
civisisus (3/5/2013 at 11:14 AM)
substitute "office lighting", or "carpeting" or even "suture" or "tongue depressor" for "EHR", and the story reads the same. Grow some brain cells; In capable hands, EHR is a tool. In fact, unlike those other, humbler tools, EHR has the potential to be a more useful tool, the more that other physicians capably use it as well. That most physicians or physician groups do not yet have capable hands does not change that fact.
Tyco Brahe (3/5/2013 at 10:20 AM)
The US is very early in EHR adoption. It's premature to consider the steep learning curve as part of the reason EHR may make physicians lose money at first. Later, EHRs will allow physicians to code better and to help with malpractice claims. Overall, the entire health system will benefit because EHRs improve care coordination and prevent duplication. Certainly, however, physicians may lose money because they won't order tests and scans that another doctor ordered before them[INVALID]but you can't blame EHR for that. American healthcare has to move forward and not remain in the paper chart dark ages.
