I fell in love with this pattern #130 Burda 12/2013 from the first time I saw it posted and decided to make it for a special occasion, like my birthday :) I bought this lovely brocade fabric in Tenerife, but then I thought of making a jacket and pants. Lucky me I still hadn't used it, so I had enough to make this dress. It was a bit tricky when I had 3 parts of the top, but then I figured out that I had to sew two of them together first, before sewing it together with the lining. It is a complete dress but the top is open at the back and loose over the dress. It has side pockets and that makes it very nice :)
Brocade and jersey for the inner part of the top.

So beautiful! I'm new to the site and wonder where I can find and purchase the pattern? Thanks so much!
Oct 14, 2014, 07.08 AMby Ellen Hatteland
Nice to see you here on BurdsStyle! Oh, I wish I could help you finding the pattern, but it's from Burda 12/2013. Maybe you can search on the web; Etsy etc. Wishing you good luck! :)
May 18, 2014, 09.37 PMby Mdelaat
I bought my first Burda magazine because of this pattern! I absolutely love it . You made it so well! It looks great on you and so very stylish. One day I hope to post my version of this dress here, in the meantime i'll happily enjoy looking at yours and dreaming … Absolutely WOW :-)

Very beautiful! Stunning look, elegant and chic. The fabric is chosen perfectly, it looks very posh in the pleats and adds a lot of charm to the pattern. And I still said nothing about this absolutely wonderful colour: it tells that the end of the day lets the night come to make this lady so mysterious and desirable… :-)
Apr 30, 2014, 09.30 PMby Ellen Hatteland
Oh, you are so sweet as always Oksana! Your comments mean a lot to me! Thanks a lot dear friend! :-)) Lucky me!!

Apr 29, 2014, 12.16 PMby Deanna31
It looks really nice. I love the design. Could you please tell me if you can see any skin on the back between the opening? Or if its just a tight fitting dress with a loose top over it? Is the pattern posted on this site? If it is.. could you please post a link? I can't find it :..{
Apr 30, 2014, 09.26 PMby Ellen Hatteland
Thanks a lot Deanna ;) This was a special designers dress in the Burda 12/2013, but I coudn't find it in the pattern of BurdaStyle, but you can have a look at this link:
You can't see any skin back because the top is covered with an inner top. I think you will see it on the link. Hope you will manage to find the pattern :)
May 1, 2014, 04.27 PMby Deanna31
After seeing the other dress and design drawing I want it even mooore! I wander if I can beg Burda to get the pattern???

On this day in 2011, Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States, is killed by U.S. forces during a raid on his compound hideout in Pakistan. The notorious, 54-year-old leader of Al Qaeda, the terrorist network of Islamic extremists, had been the target of a nearly decade-long international manhunt.
The raid began around 1 a.m. local time, when 23 U.S. Navy SEALs in two Black Hawk helicopters descended on the compound in Abbottabad, a tourist and military center north of Pakistan's capital, Islamabad. One of the helicopters crash-landed into the compound but no one aboard was hurt. During the raid, which lasted approximately 40 minutes, five people, including bin Laden and one of his adult sons, were killed by U.S. gunfire. No Americans were injured in the assault. Afterward, bin Laden's body was flown by helicopter to Afghanistan for official identification, then buried at an undisclosed location in the Arabian Sea less than 24 hours after his death, in accordance with Islamic practice.
Just after 11:30 p.m. EST on May 1 (Pakistan's time zone is 9 hours ahead of Washington, D.C.), President Barack Obama, who monitored the raid in real time via footage shot by a drone flying high above Abbottabad, made a televised address from the White House, announcing bin Laden's death. "Justice has been done," the president said. After hearing the news, cheering crowds gathered outside the White House and in New York City's Times Square and the Ground Zero site.
Based on computer files and other evidence the SEALs collected during the raid, it was later determined that bin Laden was making plans to assassinate President Obama and carry out a series of additional attacks against America, including one on the anniversary of September 11, the largest terrorist attack ever on U.S. soil, which left nearly 3,000 people dead. Shortly after the 2001 attack, President George W. Bush declared bin Laden, who was born into a wealthy family in Saudi Arabia in 1957 and used his multi-million-dollar inheritance to help establish al Qaeda and fund its activities, would be captured dead or alive. In December of that year, American-backed forces came close to capturing bin Laden in a cave complex in Afghanistan's Tora Bora region; however, he escaped and would continue to elude U.S. authorities for years.
A break in the hunt for bin Laden came in August 2010, when C.I.A. analysts tracked the terrorist leader's courier to the Abbottabad compound, located behind tall security walls in a residential neighborhood. (U.S. intelligence officials spent the ensuing months keeping the compound under surveillance; however, they were never certain bin Laden was hiding there until the raid took place.) The U.S. media had long reported bin Laden was believed to be hiding in the remote tribal areas along the Afghan-Pakistani border, so many Americans were surprised to learn the world's most famous fugitive had likely spent the last five years of his life in a well-populated area less than a mile from an elite Pakistani military academy. After the raid, which the U.S. reportedly carried out without informing the Pakistani government in advance, some American officials suspected Pakistani authorities of helping to shelter bin Laden in Abbottabad, although there was no concrete evidence to confirm this.

8th annual last trip to Thailand6 Sep (Sat) thru 17 Sep (Wed) 2014 Dod Travel restrictions are OFF and. there's a really great line-up of courses...this will be a first-class outing, day after day and night after night. It is also my last year to organize this trip, so take advantage of the opportunity - after all, we just get older each year and it's always harder to do next year. I will make this the easiest vacation you've ever taken. You just have to buy an airline ticket to Bangkok...no visa required. I'll either meet you there or have a driver ready to bring you to Pattaya, then I'll tell you when to be where (for golf). Wanna take a day off in the middle - no problem...it's all about having fun. I've reserved 12 rooms at Sabai Resort and ground trans is arranged. All but a couple of tee time bookings are final!!! Based on my estimations there is room for 4 more hackers. Come to Thailand! Have the time of your life while you're young enough to enjoy it. Hope to see you there. Friendship Festival is 6-7 Sep...so come on 8 Sep if necessary. No problem. |
Weekly Notes.... |
Young and I teamed up for the annual Red, White and Blue tournament, and believe it or not, we took 1st place (Net) in the B Group. The unusual format may have played right into our hands; the front nine was a scramble and the back nine was best ball. We were even on the front nine and four over on the back, for a gross score of 76 and with a significant handicap reduction of 10, we netted 66. But all of that means nothing. We had great playing partners (Arnel and Noli from Yokosuka), who graciously played worse than us. Young and I both had a couple of "pulled that outta my butt" shots, which of course we thought were long overdue. I won another towel in the raffle. As the Thailand trip gets closer I'm really getting excited - visualizing long drives on some of those emmaculate fairways at Siam Old and Plantation, and following that with an occassionally accurate approach. I haven't even thought about the shanks, the chunks, or the Pelosi (far left) or the Palin (right off the charts)...or the Lewinsky putts (all lips, no hole) or the Arafat "in the sand and butt ugly"....just the good ones. |

Stopped at the fishmonger yesterday to pick up shrimp for a boil and saw Royal Reds in the case. Never heard of them, but after searching online definitely have to try some.
If you've had them how did you cook them? I know not to add salt and cook very briefly. Thinking about picking up a pound tomorrow for a taste run. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Natal, I live in Stonington, Connecticut (actually, I live in Historic Mystic a part of Stonington) home port to Alan Chaplaski captain of the Neptune as mentioned in the article you linked. UConn helped Capt. Chaplaski optain a research grant from NOAA to study the shrimp. I've not had them but the article I've linked noted that most of them are pre-allocated. We always take our Nordic Tug to the Stonington Blessing of the Fleet in July. I'll be sure to look for Alan and ask about the shrimp & their availability. Here's a good article on Alan. /tricia |
Here is a link that might be useful: Captain Alan Chaplaski, royal red shrimp
Here's a pix of the Neptune from last year's Blessing. No pixs of his shrimp though. At least I know what boat to look for. The shrimp sound delicious - if I can find any. /t |
Here is a link that might be useful: Neptune
I have not seen them here in NY. Sounds like a tasty treat. I would just steam them (not boil) and enjoy them with a simple dipping sauce. I have a feeling that will be a great sushi ingredient. Strange that this is a recent discovery. There is a big problem now with Asian invasive Tiger shrimps. dcarch |
Yum, I'd definitely try some if I ever saw any, not that it's very likely here in Michigan, LOL. It's fresh shrimp, how could you possibly go wrong? I would have to just eat them without a heavy sauce or a lot of seasoning, just so I could see how they tasted and what the texture is like, then decide what else to do with them. Annie Annie |
I've had Royal Reds in FL. We had the fish market cook them. I believe they steamed the the ones we bought. We had friends who had grown up eating them in FL. They told us to eat them like lobster, with melted butter. They were FANTASTIC! |
Tricia, I stumbled across the article on Captain Chaplaski when I was doing the search. I was amazed to see the wide availability ... although limited. Equally amazed that I'd never heard of them before. Bbstx, that's where I'm leaning ... a quick steam or boil and then a long dunk in melted butter. Dcarch, yes, the Asian Tiger shrimp are set to change the balance of things. Annie, I feel the same way. I wouldn't hide the sweet taste of lobster meat with a lot of seasoning. I want a true taste this first time around. Hoping they still have them tomorrow. |

Lot-size changes could mean refunds — or higher bills — for some Valparaiso utility customers
BY JAMES D. WOLF JR. Post-Tribune correspondent January 31, 2014 11:08AM
Updated: March 3, 2014 5:07PM
VALPARAISO — Corrected utility bills are on the way to 552 residents and businesses, but whether those bill-payers could get refunds for overpayments or bills for past underpayments remains unresolved.
The situation was created by the how properties have been classified for stormwater payments.
City ordinance requires a refund for all overpayments made over the previous year based on errors.
However, Utility Board members said it's not clear whether that requirement should apply here. Previous classifications were made using the best available technology, which is why utilities director Steve Poulos said he preferred not to call the wrong classifications "errors."
Board members Mark Thiros, Mike Sur and Lori Ferngren argued at Tuesday's meeting that the county really hadn't made an error, since officials had used the best technology available at the time.
However, board member David Bengs said not issuing refunds could cost the city more in lawyer's fees in small claims court than the $16,764 total they'd have to refund, and Board Attorney Mike Langer said rate misclassifications could count as errors.
Bengs, Thiros and Ferngren are attorneys.
The original lot size calculations were made in 1998. Businesses pay monthly fees of $11 to $352, depending on the amount of hard surface they have.
Single family homes pay $11 a month, while multifamily buildings pay $8.25 a month per unit.
Since then, city officials using a new, more accurate method — overhead photography and computerized mapping technology the city acquired in 2011 — recently discovered that many parcels were estimated at the wrong size.
The Utilities Board did vote Tuesday to adjust rates, a move that will give the utilities department $130,449 a year more in stormwater fees.
That change includes some houses and multifamily buildings that were misclassified or had changed between single-family and apartments.
Board members split on whether the utilities department should require those who've underpaid to make up the difference.
Recouping a year's worth of underpayments would mean $147,213, and the board has the ability to go after two years of incorrect payments.
Langer is to return to the board Feb. 11 after researching who wrote the ordinance and what their intention was.
Poulos had recommended that the board refund the overpayments but not punish those who underpaid because of the technology.

What are flower essences?
Flower essences are herbal infusions or decoctions, made from the flowering part of the plant, which uniquely address emotional and mental aspects of wellness. The first 38 flower remedies were formulated by a British physician, Dr. Edward Bach, in the 1930's, although new remedies from other plant species are now avaiable.
They are typically taken orally from a dropper bottle; the standard dosage is four drops four times daily. You can take the drops directly from stock bottles available in stores; mix them in a glass of water; or make a dosage bottle by mixing several drops with water and brandy (typically 1/4 ounce) in a one ounce dropper bottle. When mixing in a dosage bottle or glass of water, take two drops from each essence selected. There are many others ways of using them, such as in misting sprayers, in a cream base, or in baths.
Water, brandys, infusion (1,6000) of arnica mollis flowers wild-harvested.

About Us
Growing up, I worked in my uncle's Italian deli in Bayonne, New Jersey, and other local delis. In 1994, I got a job in my field of computer science and climbed the corporate ladder and found myself stationed in Puerto Rico, then back in New Jersey, and then in Sacramento.
After nine years, my corporate job wasn't fun anymore, and the company wanted me to move again. My wife and I loved the Sacramento area and wanted to stay. One thing we found lacking in the Sacramento area was (a real) Italian deli. A lot of places called themselves delis, but they're really sandwich shops.
My wife Raquel suggested I leave my IT company and open a deli – and Dominick's was born. All the dishes we serve here are from our family recipes! Come enjoy a "real" authentic Italian deli, pizza and specialities at Dominick's.

CBS 2 - Search Results
Created in the Corridor: Crystal Group, Inc.
HIAWATHA, IA (CBS2/FOX28) - What started from a kitchen table more than 25 years ago ended up reaching the depths of the ocean, the sands of the desert and the edge of outer space. And all of the products produced by Crystal Group, Inc. are as durable as the company Created in the Corridor.
"We started out as a telecom, computer telephony company," explains Crystal Group President, Scott Kongable. Company founder Craig Jensen designed industrial computers for the telecommunications industry in the late 1980s. Then, in 2003, his firm started building them for the military and government sectors. Today, you can find Crystal's rugged computers all over the world; "On submarines, ships, Humvees, other military wheeled vehicles, and some wide bodied aircraft," says Kongable.
The B-2 Stealth Bomber is one of Crystal's proudest deployments which also include the Navy's new submarine hunter, the PA-8 Poseidon aircraft. It's computers can even be found on the ISS. "We are processing any of the video that is taken in the International Space Station. It's processed on a Crystal computer."
And because all those computers are designed and built from scratch in Hiawatha, Crystal Group can put commercial electronics in environments where they otherwise wouldn't work. Just weeks ago, the Army was preparing a field demonstration for top brass when a storm cam in. Jim Shaw, Crystal Group's Executive Vice President of Engineering explains, "(It) blew the tent away, blew the unit over and the case it was in into the mud. It filled up with water, they pulled it out of the mud the next morning, shook it out, turned it on and it worked."
Crystal computers also are used in oil and gas exploration, power generation and mobile broadcast.
The company has grown quickly, from 36 employees to 115 in just six years. And its current 15,000 square foot expansion will allow the company to more than double its production capacity. It's more than just hardware, though, as Shaw's team is migrating to higher level systems engineering work. "We're really about creating solutions for our customers, not just products," says Shaw.
Kongable says it all boils down to a laser focus on the customer and their exact needs. And because the company provides equipment to the U.S. Military, Kongable says it has a moral obligation to provide the most
reliable computers possible. "When they push the button to make something happen, it has to happen at that point. Lives depend on it."
Crystal Group has more than a dozen patents, three patents pending and is 100% employee owned. You can find a lot more information in the News Links section of this website.

Contact this shelter/rescue group to see their pets for adoption. |
Our Featured Wofford Heights, CA Partner:
Robbin's Rescued Russells
Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.

Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
I often travel throughout California and Nevada competing at Terrier Trials and Flyball Tournaments with my personal Jack Russells as well as some of my available Jack Russells. There's a good possibility that the Jack you have interest is closer to you than you think! All adoption interests are handled on an individual basis and under the right circumstances would definitely consider adopting within the United States. If you are interested in possibly adopting one of the Jack Russells I have available or if you just would like more information Please contact by email email@example.com or email@example.com Our Rescue Group:
Robbins Rescued Russells offers referral services, knowledge and guidance suggestions, and is a nonprofit dog rescue. Robbins Rescued Russells (RRR) is operated solely by myself, Robbin Grabowski. Since its conception in 2005, I have been dedicated to placing rescued Jack Russell Terriers into permanent, loving homes throughout California. It is this dedication that sets RRR apart both during and after the adoption process. I would consider an out-of state adoption to homes outside of California under special circumstances.I do not have a facility that is open to the public, nor do I have any foster homes. When a rescued Jack enters my rescue program I welcome them into my home and they live with my personal dogs until an appropriate new home with people who understands and accepts the characteristics of this energetic devoted breed is found. Any dog having health issues is seen by my veterinarian, Dr. Kathy Sexton. Also during this time the dog is monitored for any behavioral issues they may have and a course to modify that behavior is determined. The dogs are given positive re-enforcement training; the opportunities to learn any needed social skills, and receive the much needed love, and medical care they deserve. Once all these issues have been addressed the dog is put up for adoption.
The RRR adoption process includes an Adoption Application, Verification from Landlords, Veterinarian and Personal References, Meet N Greet, Adoption Fee, and Adoption Contract. I will accept ANY dog adopted from me back into the program for any reason throughout that dogs lifetime. I offer that so that these dogs will never find themselves inside an animal shelter again. I do not arrange Meet N Greets, prior to the completion of an Adoption Application. The reason for this is simple: If the basic requirements for an adoption are not met, I cannot ascertain this until an Adoption Application has been submitted.
If you do not have adoption interest in any of the Jacks I currently have available, please send me an email describing specifically what you are looking for. I work closely with Russell Rescue Inc., other rescue organizations, and some Jack Russell Terrier breeders and may be able to assist you in finding the right Jack for you.
The dogs seen under Courtesy Listing on my website are Jacks in need that are with their current owner but are in need of a new home. RRR has no personal knowledge of these dogs. The information given was provided by the owner. The contact persons information is in the description given for each dog. RRR makes no guarantee as to the health or temperament of any of the dogs listed on the Courtesy Listing page.
I am often contacted by Jack Russell owners seeking advice on various subject matters such as aggression issues, behavior issues, training questions and training Jack Russells for different sporting events. To these people I offer advice and suggestions based on over eleven years of personal experiences living with, and training Jack Russells and seven years of being involved in rescuing Jack Russells. I travel throughout California & Nevada on a regular basis competing at Terrier Trials and Flyball Tournaments with my personal Jacks as well as some of my available Jacks. I often bring a couple of the Jacks I have available for adoption with me. If you have adoption interest in one of my available Jacks, there's a good possibility that they could be closer to you than you think. If you are interested in possibly adopting one of the Jacks I have available or if you just would like more information please contact by email firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
Come Meet our Pets:
Robbins Rescued Russells is operated by Robbin Grabowski and is located in Lake Isabella area of central California.Please visit my websites www.robbinsrescuedrussells.org and www.jackrussellterrierrescue.org

When I hopped on Plant3D tonight, my 'Part Insertion' panel no long has the blanks for Line Number, Size, and Spec. Any clue why those disappeared?
I've tried rebooting. Tried both the default profile and my saved one.
So far this morning, I have tried to repair Plant 3D and also reinstalled it. Neither worked.
Could you please send a screen shot of what you are getting in the panel instead?
Eventually I had to just reinstall the program. Tried a few other options that didnt help. I would still like to know what could cause it though.
I just had this happen again. It occured the same day as I changed STARTUP to 2. I changed STARTUP back to 0 and it appears to have resolved itself. It happened while in the middle of working on the project. I didn't appear to be the result of reopening the program.

LAW 2300: Chapter 12 notesA contract which satisfies the other requirements may still be unenforceable if one or both of the parties did not genuinely assent to its terms. Mistakes
When both parties are mistaken about the same material fact, the contract can be rescinded by either party. Mutual Mistakes of Value If a mutual mistake concerns the future market value or quality of the object of the contract, the mistake is one of value, and the contract normally can be enforced by both parties. Duress Assent to the terms of a contract is not genuine if one of the parties is forced into the agreement. Duress is both a defense to the enforcement of a contract and a ground for the recission of a contract. Objective standard: A threat constitutes duress only if a reasonable person under the same circumstances would have deemed the threat believable and would have been motivated to action in order to avoid the threat. Fraud When an innocent party is fraudulently induced to enter into a contract, the contract normally can be avoided because that party has not voluntarily consented to its terms. Normally, the innocent party can either rescrind the contract and be restored to his original position, or enforce the contract and seek damages for any injuries resulting from the fraud.
"Puffery" is not fraud. Fraud in the inducement v. Fraud in the execution: Primarily the difference is between the contract being voidable at the option of the innocent party vs. void. Undue Influence Arises from special relationships, such as fiduciary relationships, in which one party's free will has been overcome by the undue influence of another. To determine whether undue influence has been exerted, a court must ask: "To what extent was the transaction induced by domination of the mind or emotions of the person in question?" Misrepresentation Essentially, misrepresentation is fraud without the intent to deceive. It can be either innocent or negligent. Innocent misrepresentation: The aggrieved party can rescind the contract if the misrepresentation was material but usually cannot seek damages. Negligent misrepresentation: Misrepresentation is negligent if the person making it fails to exercise reasonable care in uncovering or disclosing the facts or does not use the skill and competence that his business or profession requires. Most states treat negligent misrepresentation as fraud. |

Right now I'm accepting it. Okay, there, I said it. I'm trans. But before I'm trans, I'm a person.
Thinking of making a performance poem because right now I feel okay. Not great, but okay.
Yeah, 'okay' is pretty much my default besides 'o mi gawd I don't want to be like this'.
I'm a person too, I'm also trans, it's just who I am. :)
ME TOO ME TOO. CAn we be trans together? Yes. Rainbow high five. Sorry, I had waayy too many Sour Patch Kids and sugar. blahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
making a performance poem about it makes everything better. ^^
A performance poem sounds good :) Though I admit I have no idea what you're talking about.
Sour Patch Kids! According to Clueless, if you roast them over a fire the sourness turns sweet and it tastes awesome.
Note: I have no idea why or when Clueless found that out...
'Okay' is really very good. 'Okay' is more sustainable than 'great.' An emotional high must always come to an end, but 'okay' can last forever, punctuated by highs and lows. Lows can also last forever - so I'm extremely glad that this one has not! Huzzah for Okay!

Gwell-O consists of some of the members of the band Green Jellÿ, formerly called Green Jello, playing Jellÿ and Gwar songs in full costume.
Green Jellÿ (the band, with its usual sense of humor, says the "y" with an umlaut is pronounced "o") was formed in 1981 and is a heavy metal/comedy rock band that performs in costume and with lots of props. They had to change their name after a lawsuit by Kraft Foods.
As the band got more and more outrageous onstage, they would play new songs at shows so the audience wouldn't know if they were messing them up or not. They appeared on "The Gong Show" in 1987 and were immediately gonged — but got the national exposure they were after.
The band has gone through numerous personnel changes through the years.
Gwell-O plays at Friday at Manchester 65, 65 Manchester St., West Warwick. Apollo's Resurrection, a Green Jello super trashy side project, and Shadow of a Doubt open the show at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10-$12. For information go to manchester65.com.

Dip-Dyed Tass
Quality shoe
The look and material quality attracted me to this line of shoes. A quality "through and through" leather shoe is rare these days without spending several hundred dollars. This shoe, while not cheap, is a great value for the price. It is a fine product.
December 5, 2013
Shoe has great style and price!
I am very impressed by the shoe, I actually bought two pairs!!
November 4, 2013
Very nicely made - great fit
Excellent materials. A good buy considering that anything I saw that could be considered "nicer" in any way would cost $100-$200 more. The shoe is shaped really well which makes for a good fit. The insole is nicely padded, making these shoes very comfortable. And, the soles are not only well made, but great for dancing. I am very happy with these shoes.

My brother has a small herd of bison on the other side of the road from my Trachy. Decided to take a pic with the bison. The Trachy should be in full bloom in a couple of weeks.
This pic is of my oldest outdoor palm, a Mediterranean Fan Palm It's been outside for over 20 years. I planted it outside when it was a 1 gallon potted palm. My son stands beside it. He's 6' tall. |

The Trachy looks awesome and the Med fan palm is probably my favorite! I really like how full and tall it is. Its a really nice specimen in a warm climate, let alone a zone 4! Thanks for updating! Your palms sailed through another winter! -Alex |
Judging by the Trachy shot,you are somewhere in Switzerland...right(-; Nice! |

Thanks Alex & Jim. Switzerland? I wish our cold mountain valley was as warm as Switzerland! It was 24 degrees Saturday morning. It took out all of my fruit this year, I'm afraid. The apple, pear and plum blossoms got hit hard. It killed all of the new young shoots on my wisteria vines and quite a few of my magnolia trees. Nothing unusual for this cold valley. I've seen frost every month of the year. |
Never realized how large your Med. fan palm was. And your trachy always looks great with the snow capped mountains in the background. Great work! |

Wow, just wow! Two BEAUTIFUL palms! I can only imagine the questions you get! |

For the winter season 2013/14 it will be there, right on campus in Luleå - a big jump for ski and snowboard tricks.
-Now it's finally done! We will become the first university in Sweden, which will have its own big jump in the middle of campus, throughout the winter season, says Christopher Sellberg, student in Space Engineering, at LTU and organizer of the contest Spring Session, by Stil Alpina, at theLuleå university of Technology.
In this year's competioen Spring Session at LTU, there was served a daredevil show in Måttsundsbacken, just a 20 minute bus ride from campus at LTU. Twenty snowboarders and skiers took part in this year's Spring Session, a competition aimed at sleek and stylish trick in Måttsund hill's Big Jump.
In connection with the competition was revealed - big news for a many alpine students at campus in Luleå:
-Now we get snowboarding and skiing right on Campus, so if you have a break between lectures, one can take on your skis or board and take some hope. It is exciting that the municipality wants to invest in us so that we reach out to a big audience. So next year, Spring Session contest, will be held right on campus in Luleå, says Kristofer Sellberg.
Winner of the competition in Måttsundsbacken, was Daniel Nyberg. In second place was Jesper Vestman and in third place Christopher Hendler.

I love finding great bargains at Winners and this one is no exception. It's hit and miss in terms of what you'll find and they'll often having a number of products from one line.
They had a number of products from Borghese (whatever happened to that line anyways?) and I decided to try the Pinkissima. It is a soft pink/coral with a very subtle sheen. It goes on smoothly and it doesn't dry out my lips. This colour would compliment a lot of skin tones, especially tanned skin.
The lipstick wear is average; there's a bit left after my morning coffee and by lunch time, it's all gone.
For $8.99 CAD, I can't complain.
More reviews by AliceinWonderland
I was really impressed with the texture of this lipstick and the packaging is very nice too. Very elegant. This lipstick is a nice corally pink colour, and it is quite moisturizing.

Third Millennium Bible (TMB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous! For praise is comely for the upright. | 1 Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. |
2 Praise the LORD with the harp; sing unto Him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. | 2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. |
3 Sing unto Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise. | 3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. |
4 For the word of the LORD is right, and all His works are done in truth. | 4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. |
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD. | 5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. |
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. | 6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. |
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deep in storehouses. | 7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. |
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. | 8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere him. |

thanks for the link but it looks like there are almost zero replies in that forum for over a month |
You can tell that Furniture sales is on the rise, as many retailers visit this forum to find customers/sales, as many posts are about someone trying to find a matching or specific type of furniture. So now its not as popular as before, thus not many replies. It will tough to find this chair style, finish and fabric to match without more info. |

Looks like a Largo or Universal. http://www.largofurniture.com/ http://www.universalfurniture.com/ Ask a Mom & Pop store near you if you can look at their catalogs. |

Love your show…always great guests and topics..keep up the great programing
I had recorded your year end program and watched it this morning and enjoyed it very much – I wrote down the names of four of your remembrances of people that I had not heard of before and I've got my research set up for the next few days – trying to find out about these very interesting people who in just a few words made me want to get to know them better. At the end, your listing of those who died at Sandy Hook moved me deeply once again and my broken heart cried for these children and their teachers, service personnel and principal who were so senselessly killed. Thanks so much for helping us to keep remembering – and may we never be so hardened that we are not moved afresh each time we see their names.
Just saw tape of Charlie Rose w/Gen.Stanley McChrystal – First, Rose is the best interviewer I've seen/heard. Second, McChrystal absolutely stunned me with his intelligence, humanity and life mission. Don't see many like him – hope he continues to lead anyone or group who will listen but also will note his effectiveness in accomplishiments, which he discusses as true leadership. That's the secret of life and what we do now and leave behind. Thank you.
Just watched a Charlie Rose program this afternoon 2/22/13. There was a young man speaking about government and the sharing of east and west forms of government to achieve more. Didn't get his name or the name of his book. Can anyone tell me. I'm interested in reading his book. M Kraus email@example.com
I think Amy Richards missed the point Anne Marie Slaughter made with regard to Sheryl Sandburg's book. Slaughter is concerned that women at the mid- and lower levels of the economic ladder – and single mothers in particular – are being told they can and should achieve more but do not have access to critical financial and social supports that Slaughter and women like her enjoy. Unless — and only unless — current structures radically change — equal pay, universal health care, universal preschool — they will pursue impossibly difficult and imbalanced lives. I agree with her.
Charlie Rose always has stimulating intellectual discussions on his program. His 1994 interview with Sir James Goldsmith is especially worth watching on youtube.
This week:
Another reason to stop watching PBS on Friday.
I really wanted to hear what Nancy Pelosi had to say on 11/4, but Rose was so obnoxious with her – not letting her finish sentences, constantly challenging, etc., etc., I actually had to turn it off. What's your problem?
I think it is incredibly disrespectful for Charlie Rose not to have a segment on Martin Luther King, Jr. on his show this evening! President Obama is NOT Martin Luther King, Jr. and this IS Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
This is for Charlie Rose RE: DiCaprio and Scorcesse interview
My written letter was returned.
I am so disappointed in the nomination of Wolf on Wall St
Nowhere did Charlie. Dicaprio and Scorcesse show clips of this disgusting Porno/Orgie film on your show. Leonardo has lowered himself to appear in this pic, He was nominated in the past for Titanic, Aviator, and J.Edgar Hoover and was not a winner,why should this trash be better? It shows the warped minded directors and audience of today.
I would dread my 17 yr old granddaughter by some mistake to see this film. I myself thought it would be like Wall Street
w M. Douglas.
Although it was a real person's life the sex scenes could have been played down.
shame on scorcesse.
Would any of my cc's like for their grandchildren or older grandparents to see this filth???
Academy of Motion Pic Arts and Sciences

I watched Charlie Rose today and now I know RACISM is systemic in our society,before the congress and anyone in power try to make things right they want to tear down Obamacare IT started with the men coming back in the late 1940 when men of color could not get care, it spread to poor and uneducated and grew from there…this is a war that President Obama has no blame in.As long as we do this and our news media is more concern with being seen as the in crowd than being what we need and that is a breath of truth.
May 39th Charlie Rose's interview with Susan Rice was a total waste of time. Can anyone believe what she had to say?
correction May 29th
What is this former ambassador talking about? With a body count ratio of 600 : 30 for Israel, how could one possibly make the assumption that Hamas could claim this as victory??? It's obvious that both sides lost, just that Palewstionian loss is 20 times as high and their living conditions are and have been for the years by far more unbearable than Israel's. Even Israel's military leadership has stated years ago, that there is no military solution for this conflict. This military exercise was a complete waste (of human lives).Therefore, Israel has the greater moral responsibility to ease the status quo by making even unilateral concessions in return for a lasting truce/ceasefire. i.e. immediately and permanently stop any new settlements! Unfortunately, in the foreseeable future, with all this hate and despair on both sides, I don't see no chance for honest peace negotiations, maybe after 40 years of truce….
I was channel surfing and saw a bunch of VERY nervous faces there "assuring" us of how the Dems have a better chance to win this November. One can ALWAYS count on such glass half full commentaries from this group of die-hard leftists!
Charlie Rose interview last night with turkey minister was interesting in what was totaly left out. Not one question about Israel and the role it plays in this mess via turkey support for Hamas. Everyone of these terrorist organizations and many of the countries and others who support terrorism are enemies of Israel. Israel makes no distinction (unlike the U.S.) between Hamas, Hezbollah, Isis, Iran,Qatar, Al-Qaida. or the other wanna-be terrororist including palestinian leader Abbas who does nothing to stop Hamas in West Bank. He's as bad as the rest and weak.
It makes no difference to Israel how u are murdered just that all of these countries that are against Isis (in Middle east) in reality are not any better. Maybe Mr. Rose should do a segment on this, Only the Jewish State who everyone hates recognizes this fact. Dead is dead either by rockets, beheading, gas chamber, bombing etc. All of which the people of Israel have experience since before the state was recognized in 1948, Many people confuse this recognition by UN for creation. The Jews created Israel the UN only recognized the State. And they did this only because everyone believed within two weeks the arab armies would have defeated and murdered everyone anyway. So they had nothing to lose by voting in favor of recognition. Richard Knauer
I think Turkey is a disgrace to NATO when they do not help the coalition when the boots on the ground were only three miles away. They denied fellow Kurds from assisting their brothers in the fighting ISIS.


text: | Avatar AwesomenessJanuary 18, 2010 - Pam RodgersThe most talked about movie of 2009-10 has been honored with a Golden Globe for best drama film. James Cameron received best director, and I have to say it is well deserved. I have seen this movie twice now and have thoroughly enjoyed it both times. Although, my viewing experiences were complete opposites with the only similarity being Avatar. The first time, I saw it in 2D in what I like to call a "shoebox of a theater." The place only had seven rows and the screen was comparable to my brother's 52" plasma. In short, it was a small place. Despite the size of the venue. I loved the movie. It had the right amount of set-up, action, plot line, love interest and a logical conclusion. I see it as a social commentary on how white supremacy is viewed. It says a lot about our treatment of the Indians, slaves and others of different skin colors and beliefs. The second time I went to Avatar, I went to the Plaza 9 here in town and saw it in 3D. There couldn't be a better movie suited for 3D. It was amazing. It made the world of Pandora more magnificent and breath taking. Cameron's vision is endless. The attention to detail is beyond anything I have seen before. My advice to anyone watching the movie, don't read too much into the Marine portrayal. They are not on Marine sanctioned orders but on recon led by the psychoticness of the Colonel. Don't forget the redeeming characters from the Marine Corps. that show them to be the honorable group we think they are. It is a must see for all movie lovers. It was a truly amazing movie that lived up to all the hype leading up to the premier. Next step, the Oscars. Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article. Post a Comment | Blog Photos |

Eid Moon in Bangladesh: (Eid-ul-Fitr) Analysis & Goverment View
It is a common practice within larger Muslim communities to appoint a Hilal (crescent) sighting committee for religious observations and fixing the calendar, however some communities also rely upon a single reputable sighting of the first crescent each month in their territory.
Information on the astronomical time for the beginning of each month can be found in a variety of places including the web sites of H.M. Nautical Almanac Office (HMNAO) and the US Naval Observatory. This is usually used for administrative purposes such as printing calendars
The HMNAO also produces a visibility code that gives information on the probability of moon sighting (i.e. varying from easily visible to not visible without a telescope).
There are a number of factors that affect visibility of the moon and hence it is recommended that a number of independent observers should be involved in sighting the moon, if using the naked eye, due to the risk of making an unintentional false sighting.
The factors that typically affect the sighting of the new moon include
the distance of the moon from the Earth
local conditions (especially the height of the observer above sea level)
the character of the surrounding surface and the height of the horizon relative to the observer
variations in the clarity of the atmosphere and wind direction.
the quality of eyesight of the observer
Professor Ilyas in Malaysia has developed the concept of the International Lunar Date Line (ILDL) which uses the moon�s altitude (in degrees) above the horizon at sunset and the moon�s angular distance from the sun at sunset. The ILDL forms a curved line on a world map which separates areas (west of the line) where there is a greater likelihood of sighting the moon at the beginning of the lunar month and areas where the crescent is less likely to be seen (east of the line). The position of the ILDL varies over a monthly period.
Dr Monzur Ahmed has developed a computer program, MoonCalc, which uses the ILDL and creates world maps to show where the crescent is likely to be seen first. MoonCalc can be used to find information relating to the position, age, phase, orientation, appearance and visibility of the moon for any given date, time and location on earth.
