Nena von Schlebrügge and Uma Thurman
May 12, 2014 § 6 Comments
(A late Mother's Day post since I was under the weather yesterday.)
In honour of Mother's Day, this models post is devoted to a mother and daughter who both modelled for designer sewing patterns: Nena von Schlebrügge and Uma Thurman.
Nena von Schlebrügge (b. 1941) was born in Mexico City to German-Swedish parents who had fled Nazi Germany. In 1957, two years after she was discovered by Norman Parkinson, she moved from her native Stockholm to London to pursue modelling, later moving to New York to sign with Eileen Ford.
Nena von Schlebrügge appears on a number of Vogue Pattern Book covers and Vogue patterns from the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Here she models one of Vogue's first Dior patterns by Yves Saint Laurent—Vogue 1472, a skirt suit and full coat with big, shaped collar:
Von Schlebrügge can also be seen on Vogue 1484 by Madame Grès, a 3-piece ensemble that includes a voluminous coat with three-quarter sleeves, loose back panel, and elegant contrast lapels and lining:
Uma Thurman (b. 1970) is the daughter of Nena von Schlebrügge and her second husband, Robert Thurman. Born and raised in Massachusetts, Uma Thurman dropped out of her prep school there to pursue acting in New York City, where she worked as a fashion model before landing her breakout roles in Stephen Frears' Dangerous Liaisons (1988) and Terry Gilliam's The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988).
Uma Thurman is featured on a handful of 1980s Simplicity patterns, including two by Cathy Hardwick. (These may date to Tom Ford's time at the company.)
Here Thurman wears Simplicity 8054, a wrap dress with halter back and capelet sleeves, in classic red:
Here she models a pure '80s LBD with big shoulders and flutter sleeves, Simplicity 8055:
Nena von Schlebrügge later became a psychotherapist and director of Tibet House and the Menla Center; Uma Thurman is an Academy Award nominee for her role in Pulp Fiction (1994). Thurman's presence is already evident in her Simplicity patterns. Isn't the family resemblance striking?
Twenties Swimsuit – Simplicity 7041 (VFL 145)
November 9, 2013 § 14 Comments
I love vintage swimwear. (See my post on vintage beachwear patterns here.) It's also been years since I had a bathing suit; somehow I can never make myself shop for one. So I resolved to make a vintage swimsuit using the Vintage Fashion Library's reproduction of Simplicity 7041, VFL 145.
Based on the envelope design and that of the consecutively numbered Simplicity 7042, a lingerie set with bloomers, I would date the pattern to circa 1929. (On the development of the 1920s swimsuit see Bomber Girl's post here.)
These two George Hoyningen-Huene photos of Patou swimsuits from the late '20s served as reference and inspiration for me:
The original pattern instructions give a charming description: "7041: Style for chic and for good swimming. It has a smart belted waistline, buttoned shoulder straps, and a round neckline. Style 1: A one-piece suit for the very active swimmer who demands plenty of freedom. Style 2: A two-piece suit which looks well on the taller woman. With deep V-back." The pointed, lapped lower bodice seam is a nice Deco detail, which could be brought out further by making the attached shorts in a contrasting fabric.
I made the one-piece with scoop back. I found some lightly textured, black swimwear fabric on sale at King Textiles' old location, with matching white fabric for a contrast belt. To face the upper bodice and belt I used tricot interfacing/lining from Designer Fabrics, where I also got some plain 1″ buttons. The 1.5″ belt buckle is from Leather & Sewing Supply Depot (now at 204 Spadina).
I needed to grade down the repro's B38 to fit me. Even then I had to take in the suit at the upper side seams. The straps were made slightly shorter and narrower as part of the grading, but the length of the shorts was unaltered. I added white topstitching along the top and bottom edges of the bodice, with contrasting black topstitching on the white belt.
The cut of the shorts is in the old style, which takes some getting used to. Here is a view of the suit, shown flat:
Naomi and I took some photos of the swimsuit at the old Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion. This archival photo shows the pavilion in its heyday:
The pavilion's grand, Beaux-Arts archway records the year it opened to the public, 1922:As Naomi pointed out, the suit is basically a playsuit, and with heels and a coverup it didn't feel too odd walking down Queen Street West to the beach.
I was able to cheat and make the buttons non-functional:
I had trouble deciding how to fit the suit. Although period photographs show knit swimsuits that cling to the body, the illustration shows a looser-fitting suit. Since I wanted to swim in it, I wasn't aiming for an authentic reproduction. (Wool is just not an option.) But having made it up, it's clear the suit would drape better in a lighter swimwear fabric. I may try the low-backed, skirted view for next summer…

Rosie the Riveter, 1942
September 2, 2013 § 1 Comment
During World War 2, women engaged in wartime work could choose from a variety of sewing patterns for work wear. The array of coveralls available included the mechanic suit, a close cousin to the siren suit or air raid suit (see my earlier post here). This 1942 pattern from Simplicity shows a khaki version paired with a garrison cap:

Caped Crusaders: Vintage Cape Patterns
September 25, 2012 § 7 Comments
The cape trend of the last two years shows no sign of abating. (Read a Fashionising post about the trend here.) In terms of sewing patterns, Donna Karan's V2924 was ahead of the trend (see Erica B's version here) and this fall we have V1322 by DKNY. Paco Peralta has several cape designs available including the sculptural Funghi. In vintage reissues, Butterick has re-released some vintage cape patterns in their Retro line: B6329 (from 1935) and B6411 (a reissue of Butterick 4570 from 1948).
I often find myself reaching for the vintage version of a current trend, and I'll have a cape project to share with you soon. While looking for the right pattern, I was struck by the variety of cape designs over the decades. Here's a selection of vintage cape patterns from the Twenties to the Eighties.
Two 1920s patterns in my collection have capes with interesting details. This mid-Twenties pattern for a dress by Renée also includes a cape with button/strap closure:
And I still love the pointed yoke of this Miler Soeurs cape (see my grey version here):
The Thirties were a good decade for capes. This 1936 copy of McCall Style News shows a matching cape and dress ensemble:
Sewing bloggers' 1930s capes show how contemporary these vintage outerwear styles can look today. Debi's mid-Thirties cape pattern has a similar look to the ensemble illustrated above, but with a false front creating the illusion of a matching jacket. Click the image to see her finished version:
Puu's late '30s cape has a high-collared yoke, arm slits, and rounded, gathered shoulders (click the image for her construction post and see the finished version here):
The fashion for capes continued into the Forties. The decade's strong-shouldered silhouette is visible in these two cape patterns from my collection. The first, from the early '40s, has a pronounced, boxy shape and optional broad stand-up collar:
The second cape shades into New Look sleekness, with a narrower collar and lower hemline:
In the Fifties, capes showed a de-emphasis on the shoulders and a fullness that carries over to the early '60s. Vogue 1089 by Robert Piguet is actually from 1949; I thought it might really be a capelet, but the envelope description calls it a "flared cape with diagonal double-breasted closing below soft shaped collar":
Here's an illustration of the Piguet ensemble by Bernard Blossac:
This mid-Fifties cape by Jacques Fath has big, buttoned cuffs at the arm vents. The shaped collar is part of the suit underneath:
The Sixties were another good decade for capes. On this Vogue Pattern Book cover, Wilhelmina Cooper exemplifies the "thoroughbred look" of Fall 1963 in a tailored yellow cape:
This elegant cape by Nina Ricci has a wide shawl collar and is shaped by released inverted darts. The model is Maggie Eckhardt:
Astrid Heeren models this fabulous mod cape by Pierre Cardin:
This late '60s design by Pucci is modelled by Birgitta af Klercker and was photographed in Rome at La Cisterna:
As the Seventies progressed, capes generally kept their collars, but gained a new fluidity. This mid-Seventies Halston "poncho-cape" has a collar and button front, but is reversible:
This late '70s Chloé design by Karl Lagerfeld, featuring Jerry Hall, includes a three-quarter length, circular cape with pointed bias collar. The cape gets its strong shoulders from an inside button and tab at each shoulder:
In the Eighties, fluidity gained the upper hand, as seen in these full, collarless, and unstructured capes by Yves Saint Laurent:
Would you wear a vintage cape, or do you prefer the cape's more recent incarnations?

YouTube debate changes the rules
In tonight's first-of-its-kind U.S. presidential debate, candidates will answer questions submitted by YouTube users on video.
San Jose Mercury News
Postman, Westneat analyze the debate
Is today's much-touted YouTube Democratic presidential debate a groundbreaking way to engage the electorate, or just a flashy new format with little new substance?
Join Seattle Times chief political reporter David Postman and columnist Danny Westneat as they dissect the CNN/YouTube debate online and on TV immediately after the broadcast. They and their guests will take your calls and e-mails during the program, which will stream live on seattletimes.com and be broadcast on TVW, Comcast channel 23.
The debate airs from 4 to 6 p.m. on CNN. Our program starts at 6 p.m.
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Yes, this is still the YouTube you know and love: The guys from redstateupdate.com want the male Democratic candidates to take off their shirts for an abs contest.
The odds are CNN will not choose that video to air at tonight's first-of-its-kind U.S. presidential debate in which candidates will answer questions submitted by YouTube users on video. But along with the wackiness, YouTube users are showing their serious side for a chance to have a voice in the presidential race. The GOP candidates will get their turn in September.
The CNN-YouTube debate is being heralded for turning a new page in presidential politics, beginning to transform staid debates into an endeavor taken in the spirit of YouTube: technology-driven, a little offbeat and with voters at the controls.
More than 2,000 video questions have been submitted, representing a cross-section of issues and coming from as far away as Spain, Panama and Chad.
CNN editors, including tonight's debate moderator, CNN host Anderson Cooper, will select as many as four dozen to air in the two-hour broadcast from Charleston, S.C. But the submissions, which must be 30 seconds or less, can be viewed at Youtube.com.
Some are wacky, some are rants, but most are from people asking real-life questions. Among them: a question on the crisis in Darfur, filmed from inside refugee camps, and one about health insurance, delivered by a woman with breast cancer.
Then there is the seven-second snippet of a black cat with a caption asking: "How can you protect my food in the future?"
Cat owner Brandon Mendolson, a 24-year-old grad student in New York, said he is concerned for his six cats, including Molly, who appears in the video, after the recent recall of contaminated pet food. He doesn't even plan to watch the debate but hopes that enough people will find his video on YouTube and e-mail their representatives about the issue.
It's uncertain how many, like Mendolson, will skip the debate, or if more viewers will tune in to CNN for the novelty of it all. And many will measure the success of the debate by whether voters glean more about the candidates in this unconventional format.
But many political observers say it's a worthwhile foray to shake up the political dialogue using popular video-sharing technology.
As is the hallmark of YouTube, some of the more compelling videos and their makers are already becoming something of cult figures, if reluctant ones.
Consider Kim, the 35-year-old cancer patient from Long Island, who in her poignant video pulls off her wig to reveal the effects of chemotherapy.
"I don't really want extra publicity unless CNN is doing it, at least not before the debate," she wrote in an e-mail denying a formal interview. "I'm afraid if too much info about me gets out there, I won't be the 'everywoman' and my video might not get picked."
The John Edwards and Hillary Rodham Clinton campaigns stepped up soliciting video questions to their own Web sites.
"Everyone is in search of the right multimedia solution; politics is no different," said Barbara O'Connor, director of California State University-Sacramento's Institute for the Study of Politics and Media.
It's a clever way to "capture CNN's hard-news junkies and YouTube junkies," but she added, "The danger with that is that a lot of people don't subscribe to cable and we have a digital divide in broadband. We're certainly in a different age than when the networks pre-empted programming for a debate."
Not surprising for the digital age, there is a debate — mostly fueled in the blogosphere — over the debate itself. On YouTube, users typically rate videos, giving more exposure to collective favorites. But for this debate, CNN — not YouTube users — will pare down the hundreds of submissions, a violation of the spirit of YouTube, some say.
"Our expectation was that they were really going to use the Web and let the wisdom of the crowd help drive politics in a more democratic way," said David Colarusso, a Massachusetts physics teacher.
CNN political director Sam Feist said the network wants the debate "to look and feel different" but still be serious, requiring some judiciousness.
He may have a point: One of the video submissions most viewed by YouTube users was a send-up by a self-described debate "crasher" from Canada who suggests that Californians elected Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger twice because "a cyborg of his nature could stop a future nuclear war."
Cognizant of the dangers of the anonymity of the Internet, especially for a reputable news organization, CNN is requiring all submissions aired to include the video makers' name and hometown.
The debate format "is more democratic than ever," said Steve Grove, YouTube's news and politics editor. "Politicians are hearing the hearts and minds of the American people in new ways."
Submissions trickled in during the past three weeks and have increased voluminously since CNN began heavily advertising the debate last week.
YouTube also has been encouraging users to take their video cameras to places, such as nursing homes or community centers, where people are not steeped in YouTube culture, or possibly don't even have computers.
Peter Leyden, whose San Francisco-based New Politics Institute encourages progressive politicians to jump on new-media opportunities, said this first video-based debate "is more symbolic of the potential than actual performance." People also will be watching to see if the candidates provide new insights or plod the same old ground.
"If they give the same answers as they would have to Wolf Blitzer or Brian Williams, it may be less revolutionary than we thought," CNN's Feist said.
Still, others say the YouTube format is generating a platform for much more in-depth and ongoing dialogue than usually accompanies presidential forums.
Nelson Walker, 84, of Saratoga, Calif., has been toiling away for three years to get publicity for his cause: congressional term limits. "I know my question has just about zero chance of being used. It's not a subject that is of great interest. But I hope I can get some attention for my Web site."
And, say Internet wunderkinds, the professionals should embrace, not discount, the value of YouTube's offbeat nature.
James Kotecki, 21, whose political videos, including interviews of candidates last spring from his Georgetown University dorm room, made him a YouTube hit, said: "Part of the zaniness is what makes YouTube endearing. It may make the debate a lot more interesting and a less formal affair."
Speaking of that, the two guys from want an abs contest:
"It's a YouTube debate," the video says. "If they want anybody to pay attention to them, some shirts are going to have to come off."

The subject is the boy but the sky is co-star in this production Kathy. Your composition is perfect.
full of isolation.. the boy and the sea are making a story in themselves.. and do seem to form a compassionate relation of a junior and an elderly.. the old man (sea) and the boy..
Very fine.

Hodgenville City Council voted Monday to increase water and sewer hookup deposits by $50. Non-property owners will be required to pay $150 for hookups. Mayor Terry Cruse said the city has lost almost $20,000 since 2007 on defaulted water bills. Renters move out without giving notice and the city is unable to collect. Homeowners are not required to pay a deposit. If they default on a bill, a lien may be placed on their property.

The Bacon Creek Watershed, which is located in Hart, Hardin and LaRue Counties, has a history of problems with fecal contamination, according to various news sources. Some residents use straight pipes to the creek to dispose of their waste, rather than a septic or sewer system. The high level of human and animal waste in the creeks makes it unsuitable for swimming or fishing. The Bacon Creek Watershed is situated in the Upper Green River Basin and predominantly lies in Hart County.
The requirements for running and holding a political office vary across the state. Generally speaking, little-to-no experience is needed to seek election. You have to be at least 24 years old and prove residency. The crazy thing is that some of the county offices requiring the most responsibility to the public have the fewest job requirements. On the other hand, it isn't easy to run for Property Valuation Administrator – a state office. The candidate must first pass a test.

The cleanup day is held in conjunction with Commonwealth Cleanup Week and focuses on recycling and providing citizens the opportunity to spruce up in time for the spring season.

QB Alex Smith Rumored to Kansas City
Could be Good Stop-gap for Chiefs
So the world is abuzz about the rumored trade of San Francisco 49ers QB Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs? Who would have thought that Alex Smith would create such news?
It's hard to believe that the Chiefs really think Smith is the savior at the position. But apparently, if recent reports are accurate, the Chiefs will trade for Smith very soon after the NFL trading period opens March 12th.
Don't misunderstand me; Smith would represent a huge upgrade over what the Chiefs have endured the last 2 years with Matt Cassel. But realistically, Smith is no more than a 2-4 year stop-gap solution while new Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid finds a higher upside long term answer at the position.
Smith could be a good fit for Reid's "west coast" style of offense. In essence, Smith is very much like a guy Reid drafted in Philadelphia back in 2007 named Kevin Kolb. Like Kolb, Smith lacks the big time arm strength for a vertical passing attack, but could do very well in a quick read and react style like Reid's. If the Chiefs can come to an agreement with free agent WR Dwayne Bowe, there would be a proven #1 WR for Smith to throw to, and the Chiefs would just need Jonathan Baldwin and TE Tony Moeaki to take their game's to the next level to give Smith a good amount of weapons to throw to.
A player who would likely benefit from Smith's presence in Kansas City would be RB Jamaal Charles. Charles is very underrated as a pass catching RB and is similar in size to both current Eagles RB LeSean McCoy, and former Eagles RB Brian Westbrook (both of whom have proven to be excellent receiving RB's). Charles in open space as a safety valve for Smith would be a dangerous weapon for the Chiefs offense.
Now, there's no sure thing about this happening between the two sides. While I'm sure parameters of a trade between the 49ers and Chiefs were discussed during the NFL's scouting combine, no actual deal can take place until the league's 2013 season officially begins March 12th. And between now and then, any discussed deal that appears to be ready to happen could fall apart.
But Smith in Kansas City would make a lot of sense and be a good fit.

SH*yay*Pro-life protesters on TV. Two pro-life girls going to protest at a school they don't even go to, holding up a sign with graphic pictures of dead fetuses in plain sight of students going to class. Group of students ask teacher to do something about the sign so the teacher and someone else take the sign and run for it.Then the two protesters are interviewed on Fox News and their reaction is;"Oh, that teacher was just doing it to get attention."Excuse me, bitch. Who was the one holding the sign with pictures of fuckin' aborted fetuses on it?For that matter who's the one sitting in a newsroom being interviewed about the whole thing??JustGAH!two angry journals in two days yeah! I don't usually rant about political views but this one instance just really struck a nerve full story here
EwI have had my first real-life encounter with ignorance in its full, unbridled horror and it was not pretty.Abortion debate again. Something is very wrong when a person keeps giving out the same response to every conceivable (hurr) scenario and adamantly refuses to consider that, just maybe, people may have differing opinions from yours. Nevermind that they might actually have good reasons for going to that clinic.It was like talking to someone who wholeheartedly believed that the sky was green. They need only open their eyes and look up to realize they're wrong, but they're so deeply rooted in their beliefs that the thought anyone could think differently is unthinkable. Even when the evidence is literally staring them in the face.:iconwhywouldffffplz:I'm sure I've said this before, but I am 100%, irrevocably Pro-Choice.

OP, I made a little spin on your idea:
I needed to be able to at least maintain some of my rear seat, at least enough to have one person sit in the back so I only use the larger portion of the seat for my dog-transport mod. I also didn't use the hard board. Mine is just indoor/outdoor carpeting cut to fit. The head rests keep it in place on the front and the seat latch and other protrusions keep the carpet in place on the back. I usually put his bed on top of that for longer trips. My behind the seat cubbies are always full so he can lean back against the stuff (tool bags, windshield washer fluid bottle, etc). The good thing about the way I did it, I can roll the carpet back and it stores behind the seat so I can have my full back seat in a matter of seconds, and no plywood to store. Your write-up gave me the inspiration though!

Arkansas State/ UL- Lafayette Under 61.5: Yes Arkansas State has that quick strike ability and they use the No-huddle allot, but still after the Oregon game their last 6 games have averaged 55 ppg, while their Sun Belt games have averaged 52.7 ppg. Arkansas State averages 448 ypg and 31.3 ppg overall, but on the road they have put up just 412 ypg and 27 ppg and they will be taking on a Louisiana team that has played great defense at home this year. The Ragin' Cajuns have allowed 422 ypg and 25.3 ppg overall, but in their 3 home games they have given up just 226 ypg and 11 ppg. Defense isn't the only way to slow the Red Wolves down. Controlling the clock is another way. The Cajuns ground game will be key here as they average 176 rushing ypg at 5 ypc and will be going up against an Arkansas State defense that has allowed 208 ypg on the ground this year. I look for them to use that ground game allot which will keep the Red Wolves offense on the sideline and eat up clock, while Arkansas State will NOT score at will vs this tough Ragin Cajuns defense. Low 50's at most here.

I have a new Lady in Red just planted in July. I bought it but it had no blooms. Will this plant bloom next year and if so, what are the monthly stages of bloom until fall? |

In your climate, you will need to offer winter protection to ensure blooming. Most macrophyllas are root hardy only to zone 5 so be sure to mulch the plant well also to protect against winter cold damaging the roots. I can't speak directly to how this plant will perform in your climate, but here this plant will bud up in May and June and begin blooming in late June (typically) or early July and continue until late summer/early fall, weather dependant. Fall will produce some coloring of the foliage as well, as this is what this cultivar is known for. |

Mixed use district a step closer to becoming realityMay 23, 2014 |
By Carley Dangona AGAWAM – Scott Petlock, a potential buyer for the long vacant Games & Lanes building, stepped forward to discuss his plans for the site – upon the approval of a Mixed Use Business District – at the City Council's May 19 public hearing. Many residents spoke in favor of the zoning change proposal; none voiced opposition. During the hearing, Petlock spoke about his plan to create an indoor go-cart track if he were to obtain the building. The council approved the first reading. If it approves the second reading at its June 2 meeting, then the ordinance will become official. "I love this area; I love the people," Petlock said. "You can't find a better place to do this in." Petlock said he has been interested in the Agawam location for a while. He was considering a site in Vernon, Conn., a few years ago, but it collapsed due to the 2011 winter weather. He invited the council and the residents to visit http://newenglandgokartevents.com to learn more about his business. He hosts regular events in Loudon, N.H., and at the Mohegan Sun casino in Uncasville, Conn. "I want to make this place gorgeous," Petlock, a long-time citizen of Springfield, said. He plans to leave the center of the floor plan open so guests can host special events. He explained that he has go-karts that are remote controlled so seniors or those with special needs can enjoy the fun too. "Racing is the most exciting thing you could ever do," he said. Corinne Wingard, Agawam native and member of the Community Preservation Act Committee, said, "There's no detriment whatsoever to implement this zoning change. There is nothing to lose and much to gain." She referred to the motion as an "ordinance of opportunity." Deborah Dachos, director of Planning & Community Development, referenced the 2010 study the town conducted, which recognized Walnut Street Extension as "the number one priority" for improvement. "This isn't just a standalone project," Dachos said, adding that the zoning would serve as a model for other sections of Agawam. The zoning would allow businesses and residential dwellings to exist within a single area. The district would be bordered by Walnut Street Extension and the Agawam Shopping Center. Initially, Councilor Robert Rossi didn't support the motion. "I look at this visionary that you have there. I don't think it'll happen. I want to see some concrete plans," Rossi said. He stated that other projects had come before the council requesting zoning changes and then never came to fruition. "That gentleman [Petlock] can't do what he wants without this zoning in place," Council President Christopher Johnson said. "This is the lynch pin to the Games & Lanes site." Johnson explained that Mayor Richard Cohen has committed to addressing the site by the end of 2014. If a private developer has not stepped forward by the end of this calendar year, then the town will take over the project – an option that will cost taxpayers. "OK, you've got my vote. I'll give it a chance," Rossi said in response. |

Topics in French Language
This French composition course features a creative approach to process writing. Learners, individually or in groups of two (three maximum) construct a story or write individual stories with embedded grammatical, rhetorical, and stylistic constraints. User-friendly instructive tools intended to stimulate creativity and facilitate language accuracy are readily available on the instructor's website. There, learners have access to a panoply of descriptive and narrative excerpts featuring various genres, moods, and registers. They also find pedagogically relevant reference works such as lexical and semantic webs, dictionaries, encyclopedias, grammatical descriptions, and literary, historical and Francophone civilization links. This carefully orchestrated course is a natural environment for 'scaffolding' and 'noticing' the gap between the language they experience from the various sources of input and their own output. It also aims at targeting 'avoidance' and 'overuse' strategies that often immobilize learners' language development and creativity.

text: Letters of Recommendation serve a very important purpose in describing one academically and personally. Choose people who can speak to those abilities. It is REQUIRED to meet with Dana Parcher Warner before starting to collect references to be placed in your file, as all of these are done online, and you must understand the differences clearly. UAH Pre-Proffesional Advisory Committee (PPAC) Board Requirements: 3 Faculty Letters of Recommendation 2 should be from science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or Math) 2 Character Recommendations One must be from a shadower 1 PPAC Board Interview Evaluations Faculty Letters Faculty Letters speak to academic abilties, intellectual curiosity, achievements in coursework, and classroom mannerisms. Get to know faculty members early, as this helps in quality of letter writing. Letters are submitted online. Character Letters Character letters aim to give readers a sense of individual qualities, desire to enter the field, and abilties to succed in the field. Letters are submitted online. At least one letter must be from someone you have shadowed in the field. The second letter may be from a shadower or, as long as they can still address the above qualities, it may also be from a work supervisor or a volunteer coordinator or supervisor. Pre-PPAC Board Evaluation Pre-PPAC Board Interview serves as an evaluation and interview. This is a 30 minute interview with a board member. The point is to get to know them and have them get to know you. This is not sent to professional schools. This is something the UAH PPAC asks for to enhance the overall process. All evaluations are submitted online. Students contact board members to set up interviews times (Board member list is given by Dana in advising meeting) Resumes are required at each interview session, Dress is business casual Do not treat these as "mock interviews" - they are not, in any way, mock interivews. Asking Your Recommender Make sure they are aware of your goals well in advance. You don't want the time you ask for a letter of reference to be the first time they hear of your dream to be a dentist, for example. Give them plenty of time to write the letter, and then some. Provide them with your resume. If you need help with that, make an appointment! Write them a thank you note! Keep your recommenders in the loop about acceptances. Most professional schools will require certain number of faculty or character recommendations. If you do not go through the UAH PPAC Board Process, stay updated on the number of letters needed. As always, the Office of Pre-Health Professions Advising is here to assist.

Charles Smith Pleads Not Guilty in Accomack County Arsons
By Don Rush
Not Guilty.
That's the plea entered by 38-year old Charles Smith III in an Accomack County Court this week after being charged with 67 counts of arson in the string of fires that struck the county beginning last November and ending earlier this year.
He is also facing one count of conspiracy to commit arson along with the second suspect 40-year old Tonya Bundick who is also facing one count of arson.
WBOC reports that police say the Parksley couple is believed to be responsible for most of the 77 arson fires that ended with their arrest after a fire at an abandoned building in Melfa.
They are being held at the Accomack County Jail.

Hello, not sure if this is the right forum but I thought I would start here. We have had this lovely French limestone fountain for almost a year and have not been able to enjoy it more than a few days at a time. Algae takes over in two days. I cannot use any chlorine/vinegar as it will damage the waterproofing. So the recommendation was to use a natural product. We used aquascape, barley extract.... FIVE times the recommended dose...Every third day, we have to drain out all water (an arduous process in an of itself), scrub, and start all over. Repeat, often. Any ideas or suggestions so that we can relax and enjoy the darn thing? The other recommendations are Biocuda, American Natural Products Co-Green Clean and Fountec. Anyone use these with success??? BTW, the clear one was taken July 2nd and I will post the July 6th one in the next thread. The one from today is just green slime. :/ TIA, |

This isn't meant to blow this question off, but demon algae is just the sort of topic they'd be able to get their teeth into over on the ponds forum. You have drains in the fountain so that implies that you can treat the water externally, and that's right up their alley. |

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Women talking to one another in movies, really
What do Hannah Arendt, Sandra Bullock, Mary McCarthy and Melissa McCarthy have in common?
More than you might imagine.
For starters, they're all in critically acclaimed summer films.
OK, so it's the characters of German Jewish political theorist Hannah Arendt and American bestselling novelist Mary McCarthy, author of The Group, who appear in the film. The women themselves are now part of history and no longer have agents.
Arendt is best known for her controversial reporting for The New Yorker on the trial of Nazi Adolf Eichmann; most famously, she introduced the concept of "banality of evil." McCarthy, fiercely loyal, defended Arendt when she was under attack from critics. The lifelong friendship between these two indomitable women was grounded in intellectual respect and profound affection. The film Hannah Arendt, as a reviewer in The New York Times put it, is primarily concerned with the "fearsome cerebral power" of its title character.
Not so much with The Heat.
The Heat is not a movie primarily concerned with the fearsome cerebral power of its protagonists, and it's very much Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy who appear on screen. You don't really need to know the names of their characters (it's Ashburn and Mullins).
What you do know right from the start is that Bullock's character is supposed to be the "intellectually smart" Yale-educated FBI agent whereas McCarthy is a "street smart" Boston cop. Fine, except it's Bullock's character who attempts to perform an emergency tracheotomy at a Denny's. This is not exactly a wise move and although it isn't pretty, I thought it was hilarious. McCarthy is described as looking like "a Campbell Soup Kid who grew up and became an alcoholic."
Arendt and McCarthy (Mary) they're not.
So what links these movies?
The Heat and Hannah Arendt share a bizarrely rare yet vital set of connections: They're movies centered on the lives of women.
Not only that: The lives of the women on which they're centered are not obsessed by romance or domestic life.
Such radical film plots rarely come to a theater near you.
Movies about men blowing up the White House, men saving the White House, men saving the world or the coastline or other planets, men facing the apocalypse armed with only one issue of Penthouse — these you can find in abundance.
Movies about women being wistfully unavailable but wearing lots of Tiffany diamonds, girls in romantic pursuit of the vampires and/or zombies they love, and a woman attempting to have a conversation with Superman you can also find.Of these, the ones about girls in romantic pursuit of vampires and/or zombies they love are the most realistic.
What distinguishes the breaking hearts of rom-coms (romantic comedies) and the chick flicks from the breaking landscapes of the "real" and "blockbuster" movies is one question: if the girl loves the boy, does he love her back?
At the heart of big Hollywood movies are these questions: Who is that mysterious, masked man (Gatsby, The Lone Ranger, Superman, James Franco), how many wide-eyed, vulnerable women will need rescue, and how many helicopters will explode?
Smarter people than I have drawn attention to the fact that for every woman on the screen there are two male actors: Ever heard of the Bechdel Test?
In 1985, cartoonist Alison Bechdel drew a now classic strip where one character says that she'll watch a movie only if it meets the following criteria:
1. It has to have at least two women in it.
2. Who talk to each other.
3. About something besides a man.
You don't think that's an accomplishment? I bet you will once you realize that even non-testosterone fests such as The Social Network don't pass the Bechdel test because none of the female characters talk to each other.
Women buy half of America's movie tickets. Let's get more women writing scripts where women have lead roles and, while we're at it, let's get more women into director's chairs.
Both Hannah Arendt and The Heat pass the Bechdel Test. Other movies can, too.
Gina Barreca is an English professor at the University of Connecticut, a feminist scholar who has written eight books, and a columnist for the Hartford Courant.

Vintage fishing lures are collectors items and the art of tying flies is a revered skill among sportsman. Whiskeyjack Paddles has just introduced this simple but effective way of displaying antique lures that would look great in any fisherman's workshop.
They were inspired by their grandfathers vintage lure collection and wanted to proudly display this collection in honor of him. Mission accomplished.
You can purchase this display shelf for your own lures for $35 and for an extra $15 you can have it engraved with your own inscription. The perfect Father's Day gift? We think so.

"I loved this recipe. My husband ate leftovers from a pancake breakfast but this was so easy, I made it for myself. I think he was jealous. It took no time at all. By the time my sausage was cooked my french toast was done, with the tasty strawberry syrup to go with it. I used frozen whole strawberries that were easy to slice. I thought it would b..."

Hello. I never thought it would come to this but I am finally coming out of GW lurkerdom in a desperate hope that someone can help me make up my mind about the white trim in my kitchen. I have been looking at paint samples so long my eyes are crossed and my DH is feigning deafness so he doesn't need to respond every time I call to him to "come in here and look at these samples in THIS light!" We are about halfway through our kitchen/living room/dining room reno. We gutted the kitchen and removed two walls and three layers of flooring so there is a smooth flow between these main spaces that used to be so segregated in our small, circa 1961 brick ranch house. All decisions regarding finishes have been made and are irrevocable at this point. They include: Perimeter cabinets - painted maple - BM Dove White Island - java stained maple The ISSUE: When we first moved into the house (and before we decided to do a major overhaul on the main living spaces) we replaced ALL the old, painted-shut, single-paned windows with energy efficient vinyl windows that turned out to be a very stark white, almost bluish. I never thought about the window color when I confidently decided, based on the many beautiful kitchen inspiration photos I collected, that Dove White would be THE white that would unify all the cabinetry, doors and trim throughout the entire house. Now, as i begin to contemplate wall color I am terrified that the vinyl windows will positively glow neon blue if they are trimmed in soft, lovely Dove White. Or worse, that the soft, lovely Dove White will look grungy in contrast. In the kitchen the window will be surrounded by the subway tile wall. Those tiles are not as bright as the vinyl but still whiter than the Dove White. In the living room just across from the kitchen, there is a large, deep window that will be surrounded by sheetrock painted in whatever color I ultimately pick for the walls. My Question: Would it be better to try to match the window trim to the window color and go with a much "whiter" white? Behr's Ultra Pure White seems the closest I can find that doesn't look gray, but I haven't seen a BM color that looks like it. Or should I "split the difference" between the color of the kitchen cabinets and the white windows when choosing a trim color? The painter will be using Benjamin Moore paints, and I am at a loss for which whites to even consider at this point. Our contractor is very efficient and I dare not mess up his schedule with an more indecision. Cabinets go in tomorrow, he says we will be ready to paint in about a week, and I believe him. Here is a photo of my "palette" on my fireplace mantle. The wood paneling on the fireplace wall had been painted not long before we bought the house and as you can see it's very white. I had hoped to soften it a bit by painting it the same Dove White as the kitchen cabinets, and the trim, now not sure what direction to take. To tell you the truth, if I had spent more time with actual paint samples prior to picking Dove White for my cabinets, I probably would have gone with Simply White because Dove White looks awfully yellow. But I can not, WILL NOT torture myself with "coulda-shoulda-woulda" about the color of the cabinets that are DONE and coming TOMORROW. So now all I can do is try not to screw up the rest of my paint choices.... Any help/therapy is much appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Well, there were supposed to be three photos, but for some reason I can only seem to post one at a time. Here's the kitchen window. |
And the other window across the room. I wish I could get a good closeup of the vinyl color but photography is not my forte... |
I don't mean to criticize you personally Linda but, It's amazing to me how many on this site speak of BM colors and what to do with them, but never consider/mention the paint or sheen that would deliver the "color". BM has lots of types of paints and colors. This site is famous for "I painted it with BM dove white etc". As far as your question goes, It's probably a lot easier and less traumatic when dealing with "white" to just ignore all the noise that is 'all the whites' and just use 'white' out of the can. In the long run, is it really going to matter if it's wedding dress white or dove white or just WHITE.. Really, nothing personal, just wanted to vent and saw your post. Ok, I'm done now.. |
No offense taken, tbo123, If I knew more about the types of paints there are I would probably have been more specific. But I'm just a middle-aged woman counting down the days until we aren't living behind plastic sheeting in two rooms with a microwave and a bathroom sink for a "kitchen" while breathing in drywall dust and polyurethane. We're drawing down from our retirement account to pay a well-respected contractor to handle the actual paint formulas and all I have to do is pick a few damned colors. It's Sunday night and I have no one to ask except my poor husband and he's as tired of this kind of discussion as you are -- as am I! Besides, isn't "venting" what GW and most online forums are all about? I think most people appreciate any and all advice, suggestions and support they can get when they pose a question -- specific or not. In the end, we must all make -- and live -- with our own decisions, no matter what everyone else said or did. But in the meantime we sit at our computers and reach out into cyberspace, with the hope that someone who may have experience with just our kind of dilemma will chime in and fill in one small piece of the puzzle to help us make those decisions - or at least say, "There, there, you're not crazy and you're not alone!" |

I'm sure BM has a "pure" white..my white of choice is Behr Ultra White..it's white..no tints. Inside I use it in interior satin enamel outside in exterior satin enamel. I don't understand white on white desire, so I have no idea how to help you. |

I feel your pain and am having the same dilemma. I've ordered kraftmaid canvas cabs and I have white vinyl windows and sliders. And a fireplace mantle I'll prob paint white. The advice I've been given is to match the trim to the window color/vinyl. Then for wall color something that is going to work with the cab color....but I have to make it appear that it isn't meant to match. So I'll probably pop the trim+crown molding really white, semi gloss and take the wall color a couple shades darker than the cabs. But I suck at colors so this is going to be a challenge. And sadly, I haven't found much out there that is super helpful. On the BM color wheel, perhaps there is a complementary color to the white dove? On the BM color strip I have here at home, they've got white dove and china white (haha, can't believe they named a paint that) and sail cloth all together. That white dove might be close to kraftmaid canvas so I might be taking a closer look at china white myself. As popular as BM white dove has been, you would think there would be a more workable formula for this..... Good luck. Sorry I am not much help other than I can sympathize!! |

In this photo you can see how the window and trim match...the cabs are off white and the wall color doesn't fight the two. But the white is brought over into the room (white chairs, whatever). |

Found this on Houzz...may not answer your question directly..but might give you some colors to look at. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Dove White with 2 other neutrals
I think your woodwork is far more noticeable if it's a different color than your window vinyl. Since you do need to choose a color, I'd go with the Dove White rather than introducing yet another shade of white into the mix. I'm very interested in seeing your brushed black pearl granite when you are done. I had white cabinets (Chantilly Lace) with polished black pearl granite and marble subway tile backsplash. Loved it all together and miss that combo! We will need to redo the kitchen in our new house in a few years. Anyway, the painters repainted my pantry door in the Chantilly Lace because it was right next to my cabinets (in the same line as them) but I didn't have all of my house trim and doors repainted. They were actually a cooler white but it truly wasn't noticeable. Because they were on different levels and planes than the cabinets, it just all blended together because of the lighting, etc. |

This uses Dove and Simply White. This Design group is all over Houzz and use Dove White A LOT! |
Here is a link that might be useful: More for you.
All the trim & doors in my house were painted BM Dove White, which I love. When I purchased my kitchen cabinets, it was a 5% upcharge to match the Dove White, so I went with one of the cabinet manufacturer stock whites, which was whiter than Dove White. I think once your cabinets are installed, the decision will be clear or at least clearer. My kitchen & FR are connected. The baseboards & crown molding are continuous. The cabinets go up to the crown molding so the two whites were right next to each other & were very different. Very noticeably different. My cabinet color made my Dove White lean gray, not yellow. I ended up painting the crown molding, baseboards, door casings & window casings in the kitchen & family room the same color as the cabinets. The actual windows (grilles & interior window trim) are still Dove White & the color difference is not at all noticeable. The trim in the rest of the house is all Dove White & also not noticeable. Even the doorways, where one side of the door casing is Dove White & the other side is a whiter white, is not noticeable. Don't regret your Dove White choice-still one of my favorite BM whites and there are many beautiful Dove White kitchens on GW & Houzz. As far as paint, if your cabinets butt up to your trim, you'll want to match the color & the finish or sheen. We used an oil based BM paint. |

Here are some Houzz photos of white dove with what look to be the white of vinyl windows. I wonder if your gray backsplash tile will compliment or muddy the relationship of the two whites? |

I was reminded today of "cabbage tether ball" to keep chickens entertained, so not having a whole cabbage, I tied an apple to the coop's rafter and my ladies are playing "apple tether ball" (or "get bopped by the swinging apple").
What sports do your chickens indulge in? With colder weather coming up, the ladies will be spending more time in the coop and I don't want them to get bored. They entirely ignore the chess set I gave them . . . . |
Follow-Up Postings:
Funny, never thought about hanging an apple. Going to try that. Thanks |
I bet any wind-up toy would drive chickens batty. Or do they still even make wind-up toys? |

I would love some ideas for my girls this winter. I tried the cabbage thing. They ignored the cabbage altogether, unless I broke it off into little pieces and gave it to them, then they loved it. They`re a bit spoiled, I think. I removed the frozen cabbage ball after about a week. It occurs to me that they were all very young last winter. This year a cabbage may work better. They have learned how to forage a bit better now. -Sheryl |

Sheryl, Give them grapes or cherry tomatoes or any small round fruit that isn't citrus, and they bowl. If you suspend a piece of toast on a string, they love to play with that. Also, if you have a melon that is past it's prime (my produce manager at the grocery will let me have an over-ripe melon for a dime--he has to charge according to the store's rules)just cut it in half and let them dive in, literally! I think wind-up toys as suggested by Rockguy would frighten my ladies into not laying for a week! They have attitude, but they aren't overly brave. Your chickens aren't spoiled, and neither are mine! |
Ha, that's funny! I remember my old neighbor telling me that she remembers a news article where guineas were playing 'soccer' with a balloon, I guess they were trying to attack it or something. Maybe get a remote control car, put some food on top of it and have fun letting them chase it around? |

I put the priming solution in first, but don't stir. Is stirring recommended?
It still is under debate. However, some people on here reported the same problem as you, and stirring gently seems to have solve it. Look it : http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/bott...t-stir-171583/
Ah yes another debate. I think I will try the gentle stir method. Thanks
4.00 Oz. of sugar for 5 gallons is what works for me..I prefer to invert my own sugar I dont know why but Ive had better results than with corn sugar the taste is better..? Dosing with fresh active yeast while not required improves condoning, particularly if you age your beer before bottling. After adding priming sugar and yeast I let it sit for a 10 minutes and then stir with one of these on low for a minute... I know it's counter intuitive and there's debate about it but but a little extra O2 is beneficial for bottle conditioning beers. I Condition at 70-75 F. for 2 weeks. If you plan to do much bottle conditioning set up a warm room basically a closet with a small ceramic heater and a temp control. Wyeast labs 3944 Wit beer yeast for example is active 62-75 F. You might simply be on the low end of temperature
I think a bottle conditioning closet is a good idea, I have been tossing that around lately probably time to take the next step.
You absolutely have to stir, or at least swirl. When I was bottling I would put in half the priming solution, rack on top, swirl, add the second half of priming solution, rack and swirl again. If you use a dyed water solution and rack clear water on top of it you'll see the distribution isn't quite even without any agitation.
Fermenting: Flanders Red Ale Conditioning: Blackberry Mead, Altbier, Cardamom Saison Kegged: Vanilla Bourbon Porter, Belgian Strong Dark
So in general do you want your bottle conditioning temperature the same, lower, or higher than your primary and secondary fermenting temperature?
I like the same temperature if you are able to, especially if you're using the same yeast for bottling as fermentation. However, a little higher or lower (within reason) will only change the amount of time it takes to carbonate. Not really too much flavor impact from bottle conditioning hotter or colder. Just don't stick it in the fridge or oven.

4788 Tasting Notes
This is the first of the package that I'm trying from Zoomdweebies.
The only other tea that I've tried called "Tutti Fruiti" (although probably not using that spelling) was a "kid's tea" from Metropolitan Tea Company – basically a fruit tea that was actually quite good. This one I can't really compare to that one, because they are two totally different teas.
This has a very interesting flavor though. Very sweet, candy-ish, like candied fruit. It sort of reminds me of the gelled fruit candies from Sunkist… like I somehow melted those in my tea… but this isn't as sticky as that would be.
I look forward to trying this one iced.
I am finishing the last of the sample of this tea also. . .
I am really liking this. The black tea is soft and allows the delicate features of the flowers to come through. The green tea adds a nice, fresh flavor to it. It is a nicely balanced blend.
Finishing up the last of a sample that I had of this tea.
I started out not being too crazy about this tea, but, as I continue to sip it, and as it cools, I am finding it a bit more enjoyable. The black tea base is rather tannic and I feel like that interferes a bit with the blackberry flavor coming through… but the flavor develops as I continue to make my way down the cup.
It's pleasant enough… but certainly not my favorite offering from Specialteas.
I bought this sample some time ago, but just getting around to trying it tonight.
It smells delightful – fruity notes along with a fresh vegetative scent and a hint of floral – honeysuckles!
The flavor is nice. I am definitely getting a honeysuckle flavor from this cup – nice and sweet and floral. Very smooth, slightly nutty, with a peach-y like flavor.
Mmmmmmm…. very relaxing, soothing, dreamy!
The almond and vanilla flavors are in good balance, with just the right amounts of sweet, creamy, nutty and smooth. The Oolong tea is a darker (more oxidation) Oolong, and this I think further enhances the roasted nuttiness and sweet flavor. It has a pleasant mouthfeel… kind of like velvet! YUM! YUMMY! YUM!
Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me a sample of this tea!
It smells yummy! LOTS of huge cardamom pods in this blend.
Wow! All I can say right now is it's a really good thing that I love licorice because this tea has a strong licorice flavor and it is YUM. There is a lot of complexity and depth to this tea.
A very pleasing chai tea.
