We are black history
Undergrad's visual project aims to encourage today's history makers
Nia Doaks | Managing Editor
While studying sustainable materials and technology in the College of Natural Resources an innovative student is starting a new tradition to celebrate black history month on campus.
Josh Moore, a senior, recently built a visual board that depicts various black student leaders at NC State.
The wooden, black structure has the words "Who am I? We are black history" in large letters along with the black leaders who are currently featured.
The idea started with the notion that important achievements and milestones aren't always limited to black leaders of the past. Moore said ambitious students and leaders of today are making their own history here and now.
"I'm really into black history, our history – it's a very rich history," said Moore. "No offense to anyone who does black history programs. I've had a black history program before. I just felt like we needed something new."
According to Moore, his inspiration for the board originally came from his childhood.
"I know everyone who went to kindergarten remembers they used to have a Start Students board," said Moore. "When I made it on the board I was pretty happy and it made me feel pretty good – that's where the visual part came from."
Our campuses board is almost at eye level and is located in Talley at the end of the ramp by Talley Market.
In an Instagram post, Moore encourages students to view the board that "commemorates our fellow students who are striving to be strong, new leaders in our community".
"Whoever is on the board, first of all, congratulations. These students were all voted on by your fellow classmates," said Moore. "It's cool to know these leaders have a representation. When people are going around looking for clubs to join, they may be able to gravitate towards the leaders that they see on that board."
Along with the depiction of student leaders, the board also features a historical black figure quiz with answers visible on the reverse side of the poster.
The board will stay in Talley Student Union for the next two weeks and then will be moved to Witherspoon Student Center. After being moved to Witherspoon, a new group of seven leaders will be displayed on the board, according to Moore.
"I'm really happy with it. I want the board to last a long time. If it doesn't stay in Witherspoon, it will definitely be back up next February," said Moore. "This is a tradition that I would want to continue next year."
Moore offers his gratitude to Suzanne Pierce, who works in Talley and allowed him to display his work, Malik Simpson, a junior studying Biological Sciences, for assisting in the creation of the poster; and Ivana Mbullah, a junior studying Textile Technology, for assisting with the writing and conceptualization of the board.
Moore hopes to have a few more students to depict over the next few weeks.
"If you see yourself as a leader, please contact me. If you see yourself as a leader, I want to see you as a leader," said Moore. "This makes leaders visible."

Are surprise albums the new normal?
ALFRED ANDERSON | Staff Writer
Grammy Award-winning recording artist Aubrey Graham, known around the world as Drake, set the internet ablaze just before Valentines day weekend with the surprise release of his seventh solo LP entitled If You're Reading This It's Too Late. The 17 song LP came as a surprise to fans after rumors circulated for months that Graham would be releasing a new mixtape during the first few months of 2015.
Following a trend set by R&B singer Beyoncé in December 2013, the project came without warning but simply as an iTunes link posted via Graham's official twitter page. Projected to sell over 500,000 digital copies of the album upon the first week of its release, Graham fell just short of that number at 495,000 digital copies sold during the first week of sales.
Nonetheless, with If You're Reading This It's Too Late having the largest sales week among Hip-Hop and R&B albums since the surprise release of Beyoncé's self entitled album (which sold 617,000 copies in its first week of sales), it's safe to say that Graham has left a memorable impression with his third chart-topping LP, according to Billboard.com.
The LP itself consists of 17 tracks that more than likely, did not make the final cut to appear on his upcoming album entitled Views from the 6 (inspired by the 416 area code of his birthplace of Toronto), which is slated to be released later this year. The most noteworthy tracks that are poised to make some noise on both the radio and club scene are, 'Energy', '10 Bands' 'Know Yourself' and the Lil Wayne assisted 'Used To", which along with the rest of the songs on the LP act as odes to his hometown, his affinity for exotic dancers and the trials and tribulations of a Hip-Hop Superstar.
In addition, with the release of this LP, rumors about Graham's status with his label, Cash Money, came to the forefront as his mentor, Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. (also known as Lil Wayne) has been engaged in a lawsuit with Cash Money. He's requesting unpaid royalties or a release from the same label. Graham was signed by Lil Wayne to Young Money, a subsidiary of Cash Money Records and ultimately the Universal Music Group. Lil Wayne, upset with being denied the ability to release his long awaited album, Tha Carter V, lashed out against Cash Money and his mentor Bryan 'Birdman' Williams, threatening to leave the label and take his Young Money label mates with him.
Throughout, If You're Reading This It's Too Late, Graham makes numerous statements that seem to refer to his feelings toward the situation, with one song in particular, entitled: "Now and Forever" seems to directly address his label situation, as Graham appears to be preparing himself to separate from Cash Money Records and not knowing what awaits for him afterwards. To add fuel to the fire, after it had been rumored that this project would be released as a free mixtape, many began to speculate that it was released as a album in order for Graham to complete his four album contract with Cash Money, potentially resulting in his release from the label and the release of Views from the 6 as his first project that is not under the Cash Money umbrella. Furthermore, Graham also takes the opportunity to address his conflicts with the likes of P. Diddy, Tyga and others that has found the Canadian artist in the wrong spotlight.
In all, with the release of If You're Reading This It's Too Late, Graham remains one of the most popular and controversial figures in the music industry today. With his ability to compile hit after hit and the bridge the gap between Hip-Hop and R&B, it will be interesting to see where Graham's career goes from here- from his potential split with Cash Money Records to the release of his next album Views from the 6- Graham is poised to continue to top charts and headlines.
50 Years Later: Malcolm X's daughter says her father would critique the rhetoric of today's activists
JESSICA STUBBS | Staff Writer
50 years after the death of her father, Ilyasah Shabazz speculates about where Malcolm X might stand on issues affecting black Americans if he were living today.
What Would Malcolm X Think? is the name of her opinion piece published in the New York Times on Saturday.
Shabazz claims X would be critical of today's organizing efforts within the black U.S. community.
"Of course, my father would be heartened by the youth-led movement taking place across the nation, and abroad, in response to institutional brutality," Shabazz writes. 'And he would appreciate the protesters' fervor and skillful use of social media to rapidly organize, galvanize and educate. In a sense, his ability to boil down hard truths into strong statements and catchy phrases presaged our era of hashtag activism."
Shabazz said she believes her father would critique the activists' rhetoric itself.
"I imagine he would applaud the "Hands Up" gesture for its sheer dramatic effect, but also critique it as rank capitulation that ironically accommodates the very goal of police brutality — to intimidate and immobilize black citizens, forcing them into a defenseless posture if they hope to survive.
She goes on to say she believes her father would share her view of the iconic "hands up don't shoot" chant, a staple in 2014's anti-police brutality protests and the "black lives matter" movement.
"He'd agree that "Black Lives Matter," indeed — but also note that the uniformed police officers who disagree are not likely to be persuaded by a hashtag," Shabazz said.
Born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska; El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, better known as Malcolm X was assassinated 50 years ago on February 21, 1965 at age 39. At a speaking event in Manhattan's Audubon Ballroom on February 21, 1965, three gunmen charged Malcolm onstage. They shot him 15 times at close range. He was pronounced dead on arrival at New York's Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. His assassins, Talmadge Hayer, Norman 3X Butler, and Thomas 15X Johnson, were convicted of first-degree murder in March of 1966. The three men were all members of the Nation of Islam. Family gathered at the Audubon Ballroom, now the Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz Memorial and Education Center, to honor the legacy of the late minister.
The Name
In 1953, Malcolm changed his name from Malcolm Little to Malcolm X because he considered "Little" a slave name and chose the "X" to signify his lost tribal name. In Malcolm received criticism for a comment he made regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. "[Kennedy] never foresaw that the chickens would come home to roost so soon," said Malcolm. After the statement, Elijah Muhammad "silenced" (suspended) Malcolm for 90 days. In March 1964, Malcolm terminated his relationship with the Nation of Islam, a black supremacist organization. In the same year, Malcolm made a pilgrimage to Mecca, changing his name to El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz. There is no record of the meaning of the name, however there are many theories regarding its origin.
The Life
Malcolm was one of eight children. His father, Earl Little was an outspoken baptist minister who followed and supported the Black Nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. His mother, Louise Little was a homemaker busy with the children. Continued threats from the Black Legion, a splinter of the Ku-Klux Klan, forced the family to move to Lansing, Michigan. In 1929, their Lansing home was burned down. Two years later, Earl's body was found lying across the town's trolley tracks. Police ruled both incidents as accidents, but the Littles were certain that members of the Black Legion were responsible. Louise suffered emotional breakdown several years after her husband's death and was admitted to a mental institution, while her children were split up among various foster homes and orphanages.
After the eighth grade, Malcolm dropped out of school, headed for a life of crime. When twenty-one, he was sentenced to prison for burglary and there he encountered the teachings of Elijah Muhammad, leader of the Nation of Islam. Muhammad's thesis that the white man is the devil with whom blacks cannot live had a strong impact on Malcolm. Malcolm was appointed as a minister and national spokesman for the Nation of Islam. Elijah Muhammad also entrusted him with establishing new mosques in cities such as Detroit, Michigan, and Harlem. Malcolm was largely credited with increasing membership in the Nation from 500 in 1952 to 30,000 in 1963.
After his return from Mecca in 1964, Malcolm said he had met "blonde-haired, blued-eyed men I could call my brothers." He returned to the United States with a new outlook on integration and a new hope for the future. This time when Malcolm spoke, instead of just preaching to African-Americans, he had a message for all races. In March 1964, Malcolm terminated his relationship with the Nation. After Malcolm resigned from the Nation and renounced Elijah Muhammad, relations between the two had become increasingly strained. FBI informants working undercover in the Nation warned officials that Malcolm had been marked for assassination–one undercover officer had even been ordered to help plant a bomb in Malcolm's car.
After repeated attempts on his life, Malcolm rarely traveled anywhere without bodyguards. On February 14, 1965 the home where Malcolm, Betty, and their four daughters lived in East Elmhurst, New York was firebombed. The family escaped unharmed. One week later, Malcolm was assassinated in Manhattan's Audubon Ballroom on February 21, 1965.
The Legacy
50 years after his assassination, Malcolm is remembered by one of six daughters, Ilyasah Shabazz at the Audubon Ballroom, now the Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz Memorial and Education Center. Malcolm was honored in cities all over the United States through events sponsored from various groups to honor and remember the legacy of Malcolm X.
OPINION: Combating thoughts & beliefs, the new battlefield
Jillian Smith | Staff Writer
Black news has encompassed a variety of matters within the past couple of years.
In 2012, we lost Trayvon Martin and the man that killed him was acquitted.
Voters' rights legislation was an ongoing issue throughout 2013 as a limitation on the usable ID threatened to take away the rights of many Americans.
A year later, 2014, was plagued by tragic losses, violent backlash and ever-increasing racial tensions, spilling over into the New Year. While the events mostly occurred on the eastern side of the nation, outrage rippled in waves throughout.
Things like New York's ¨stop and frisk law,¨ and Alabama's stop and search law provided means through which racial profiling was essentially legalized.
The most recent event, happening Feb. 20, a Sacramento, CA student was suspended for "willful defiance.¨ Dwayne Powe Jr., says he was just asking another student to borrow a pencil when the teacher told him to leave the class for disrupting.
We know the reasons behind racism, we know racism is not dead and will not die. It is so deeply ingrained in our nations past and present, we have been, until recently, fairly complacent with the progress that has been made so far.
It's written that we all have equal rights under the law, but equal treatment under these laws has yet to be seen.
So all of this has happened to us, and we've reacted, and now we're wondering: What's next?
Some of the issues we are facing are so similar to what black Americans had to deal with prior to the Civil Rights Movement. Officers being acquitted after blatantly committing murder, such as the case with Eric Garner, is nothing new to the black community.
However, some issues are completely unique to our time, and those are the issues that obscure the message we want to send.
There are no obvious laws or concrete words to target this time. What we are battling is an ideology.
An ideology that includes stereotypes, prejudices and beliefs that continue to keep black Americans living as second-class citizens.
This is the new battlefield. Trying to combat thoughts and beliefs, however, is proving to be a challenge.
We need to rally around the idea that now, after we have gained legal equality, we need to work on gaining social equality through changing the way we think and relate to each other.
Have you ever looked at someone and assumed something about them (keep it 100!)? That's what happens everyday to millions of black Americans.
The first step in gaining social equality is admitting to and understanding that everyone makes snap judgments, casts someone in a stereotype or attributes some specific quality to them.
What we need to do now is make sure that these judgments do not guide our decisions and actions. Actively encouraging yourself and others to do this can make a major difference in open mindedness and perspective on other cultures, religions and yes, races.

ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Robert Siegel.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
And I'm Melissa Block.
The end of the year is a time to look back, and in this part of the program, we're going to hear from some people who spend lots of time looking back. They're obituary writers, the women and men who, in relatively few words, tell us about the lives of those who've passed on.
We begin with Steve Miller; he's the obituary writer at the New York Sun, and he has a soft spot for inventors. They don't have to be especially well-known. For Miller, inventors of everyday items are just as interesting. He thinks about them all the time, even at his local supermarket in Brooklyn, New York.
(Soundbite of scanner)
Mr. STEVE MILLER (Obituary Writer, New York Sun): I'm here in the produce aisle among the bags of baby spinach and lettuce and cucumbers and picking up a package of Bunny-Luv baby carrots. There was a guy named Mike Yurosek in California in the 1980s, a carrot farmer. He actually invented these things. Not many people know that baby carrots don't grow this way. Baby carrots are milled. Yurosek died on June 12th, age 82.
When I walk down the supermarket aisles, I don't just see stacks of melons and bottles of pickles, but I see the life stories of the people who made those things possible.
Unidentified Woman #1: ...(Unintelligible) would you please let me know if we have any Post Raisin Bran cereal in the 20-ounce box? I have a customer waiting.
Mr. MILLER: I'm standing here in front of a big freezer case full of turkeys, and I'll reach in here and grab one. (Grunts) That's a big turkey, about 20 pounds. This is a Butterball, and I see it's got one of those plastic pop-up timers. That's the handiwork of Eugene Beals. Beals was looking for a way to prevent the dried-out turkey breasts that are the bane of home cooks. And the timers have been put in an estimated two billion birds. Eugene Beals died September 30th, age 86.
Unidentified Woman #2: Thank you.
Unidentified Woman #3: Thank you.
Unidentified Woman #2: Next, please.
Mr. MILLER: One of the highlights of this year for an obituary writer has to be Seymour Seagal(ph). He was a real entrepreneur of appetizing. Seagal took a family recipe for chopped liver and parlayed it into a giant company that turned out hundreds of millions of pounds of salads a year, more than a hundred million pounds of potato salad alone. The thing about Seagal's potato salad is that it looks like homemade. It's in a big tub in the deli section. Seagal made a fortune with his fertile culinary imagination, although he occasionally struck out, like the time that he tried spaghetti pie. Seymour Seagal died September 20th, age 76.
(Soundbite of cash register)
Unidentified Man: And that's small potato salad. Is that what it is?
Mr. MILLER: These are the stories that affect us every single day. It's people who are sitting around and thinking about how to make our lives better in some way. Every time we pick up a carrot or have a turkey sandwich, these guys are in our lives.
BLOCK: That's Steve Miller with the New York Sun, sharing memories of some of the people he's profiled this year.
Kay Powell has been fondly dubbed `the doyenne of the death beat.' She's the obituary editor of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and writes a lot of obits herself, colorful portraits that she considers news stories. Here's how one of her favorites began.
Ms. KAY POWELL (Obituary Editor, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution): (Reading) September 21st, 2005. A visit to see Jay Mathis(ph), Forsyth County Airport left the 21st century behind. The airport was short on runway, just 1,550 feet, but long on character.
BLOCK: Crafting the story is only one part of the job. Approaching family members and friends at a difficult time requires a special approach.
Ms. POWELL: There's a lot of psychology involved in the words we use and how we approach people. And when I call a family, I will introduce myself immediately, Kay Powell, obits editor at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I'll tell them how sorry I am to hear about the death. I'll name the funeral home. I want to build credibility immediately. And I will single out something; I'll say, `I found the fact that she climbed Stone Mountain Park every day for 30 years, including 24 times on her 60th birthday. So interesting, and I want to let our readers know more about that.'
BLOCK: You must have to cull out the people that you end up profiling. How do you decide who actually gets into the paper?
Ms. POWELL: I swear, Melissa, I think it's just good news sense. One little thing can catch my eye and grab my attention, and it doesn't have to be anything big. I had a woman that volunteered at a pregnancy resource center; had a man that was--priced groceries for a grocery store. And I said, `We've never written on anybody--everybody buys groceries.' Well, it turns out he had pet skunks, quality, prize-winning pet skunks and was a motorcyclist and airbrushed pictures of his prize skunk on his motorcycle. I mean, that's the kind of thing that comes out from good interviewing.
BLOCK: Have you ever had this happen, that you end up maybe finding some things out that don't paint the person in a terribly flattering light? And if that happens, what do you do?
Ms. POWELL: It's a delicate balance. I'll give you an example. One was the woman who volunteered at the pregnancy resource center. As I talked to her husband, I just asked him, I said, `Had she had an abortion herself?' And he paused, and I said, `It is not uncommon for women who have had abortions to volunteer in gri'--and finally he said, `Well, yes, she did.' And I said, `Well, did she talk about it?' Well, it turns out she would testify in church and get up and tell her story, so she had been public about it. And so there it went in. If I was writing anybody's obit and found that out and it wasn't relative to the story, then no, I wouldn't put it in. But, yes, our job is to answer questions, not raise questions. If you can't believe what you read in an obit article, how can you believe anything else you read in the paper?
BLOCK: You'll find Kay Powell's obituaries in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in the Metro Section, alongside the paid death notices, often written by the family, which she considers a form of American folk art. For us, one that popped out of the fine print ran in The New York Times this past February 11th, just 14 lines long.
Mr. LEE LEVINSON(ph): This is the obituary, and it took us about a half an hour to compose it. And it says, `Levinson, Samuel(ph), 92, cranky and cheap, but we loved him anyway. Devoted husband of 10, athlete, fun to be with, loved his family, astronomy, classical music and WNYC. Never bought a golf ball in his life. Multitasker; could sew, clean and yell at you all at the same time. Collector of rubber bands. Will be missed by entire family. He would think this obituary the biggest waste of money.' About 10 lines, maybe 15 lines. This was much longer. I think it came to about $700, the obituary. But when we first wrote it out, it probably was closer to 2,000 bucks. So we had to cut it down because we did feel he was looking over our shoulder.
BLOCK: That's Lee Levinson of Rockville Centre, New York, remembering his father Samuel Levinson, who died at age 92 on February 10th.

(Posted on 4/4/2012) - I picked up my ring this morning from customs in Australia "How beautiful " I had it booked in at a gemologist just for peace of mind that same day and well let me tell you it's worth a lot more here than in the US. You have no idea how happy I am. Thank you for your wonderful service and thank you for my AMAZING 1930s diamond ring x Review by Jude (Posted on 9/24/2013)
Dear Sherrie,
I wanted to reach out to say Thank You for all your help!
Sam proposed a week ago yesterday in Central Park, New York City and we could not be happier. The ring is absolutely stunning and beyond anything I could have hoped for. I can't believe how much he went through to find it! But I am so glad he found it with you, Thank you for taking such good care of us, with all the questions and fittings and shippings, and for being so prompt about sending it back after sizing! Sam went to the post office yesterday to pick it up and now it's back on my finger, a perfect fit.
I'm not sure if Sam told you, but we went to college in St Petersburg, FL and we would frequently drive up to Westshore Plaza in Tampa for a nice day of shopping. I really like that the ring connects to us in that way, we have been together for over 9 years now and we spent a large amount of that time in Florida, I'm so glad that we have a piece that symbolizes our time there and our devotion to one another.
It means a lot to have such great support during this time of excitement and change, thank you.
Very best,
Gabrielle Kan (& Samuel Murphy) Review by Gabrielle K. (Posted on 3/28/2013) -

- We had looked for months for a very special ring. When I saw the photo of the ring, I knew it was the one! When we called for information about the ring, it was an excellent experience. They provided us with a great deal of information in a very friendly, helpful way. When we received the ring, it was exactly as described, EXCEPT, it was even more beautiful than I imagined that it would be. We would definitely purchase from them again. Highly recommended, very trustworthy. Review by L A (Posted on 9/22/2013)
- I highly recommend GESNER'S jewelry for any type of stones or watches. I recently traded in my Rolex towards another Rolex, and felt honestly that I got a great deal. Thank You, Frank for being the professional you are! Review by Chris B. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- My friend and I went in to look at engagement rings to show our boyfriends what we wanted. Valarie was very patient with us and I found a ring I was in love with. She was very helpful with my now fiance and I could not be happier. I can't wait to go in to shop for my wedding band! Review by Tara (Posted on 6/4/2012)

We had a Mexican potluck today and made a couple of these. It is the rave of our office. Words such as "this is a keeper" and "OMG" somehow managed to get out of a few of the mouths. Copies of this are all over the office from people wanting a copy. Only thing different done was added 1/4 cup frozen limeade. THANK YOU for a great recipe.

Delicious and refreshing. Easy to make. Will be making again soon. Thank you for posting.

This cheesecake is to die for! I made it for Cinco de Mayo, and I am SO pleased with this recipe. I am a nursing mama, so I used orange juice instead of triple sec and only used 1 Tbs of Tequila. Also, to save time I just used a store-bought graham cracker crust that I had on hand. I did crumble pretzels on the tops of each sliced as I was serving so there was still some saltiness to it. I can't wait to make it with the pretzel crust. I think the cheesecake filling would also make a really delicious pretzel dip, which I am going to try for a party in a couple weeks. Thanks for such a delicious, versatile recipe!

Last Day, Last Entry
My last day in Thailand was perfect besides the fact that it involves me having to leave. We woke up to have a light breakfast with our new buddies from BCN. This was the first time I really got to have a long conversation with Eve. I learned a bit more about where she was from and what she enjoys doing. She was still a bit shy but so sweet. I thought it was interesting when she told me that she didn't like nursing after I asked. She said her ...

Tonight I am going to bed at a reasonable time, 9:30 pm. So, I am going to sign-off for tonight. We have a big day tomorrow and I want to be ready. So goodnight and I will write ...

It depends.
If the transaction is processed as a direct rollover to the SEP IRA, then no taxes will be withheld. Through a direct rollover, the assets are made payable to the SEP IRA custodian (or trustee or plan to which the assets are being rolled). If the transaction is processed as an indirect rollover - which means the assets are first distributed to the participant, who must then rollover the assets to the SEP IRA within 60 days - the administrator of the profit-sharing plan will withhold 20% of any portion of the distribution that is rollover eligible.
Check with the SEP IRA custodian to determine their documentation requirements (if any) for processing the direct rollover. The administrator of the profit-sharing plan may also have special documentation that the participant must complete to initiate any distribution, including those processed as a direct rollover to another retirement plan. In addition, some plan administrators require the custodian to provide an acceptance letter verifying the type of account to which the assets will be credited.
Provide the SEP IRA custodian with a copy of the most recent statement issued for the profit-sharing plan and ask that they identify any asset on the statement that cannot be held in their IRAs. If the custodian is able to hold all the assets that are currently being held in the profit-sharing plan, then all the assets may be rolled to the SEP IRA as they are. If the custodian is unable to hold any of the assets, then these cannot be rolled to the SEP IRA, and the participant may need to liquidate these assets to proceed with the rollover to the SEP IRA. Alternatively, the participant may shop around for a custodian that is able to hold all the assets.

A fast, personal, and smart blend of all the news you want in the morning. We call it "News in the Fast Lane." So buckle up.
I thought I packed my contacts (on the packaging of which I scrawled "R" and "L" with a black Sharpie, denoting which eye gets which strength of lens) in my purse Sunday night before I headed to bed at an ungodly early hour as early risers do.
But when I went to morph into "anchor lady" in the makeup chair Monday morning before show time, I couldn't find the contacts. Eeek! How would I be able to read the copy, the tweets, and the prompter all morning? This meant I had to break out the specs, which I've never worn on air in the years and years I've worked at HLN.
So, on went the glasses and down went the hesitation I felt about wearing them, especially last week when it seemed like every sleep-deprived news anchor in the land broke out their frames for election coverage.

Hi I was wondering if anyone had made this shirt before? It says skill level is Novice but I am having a hard time understanding the sewing instructions. I am struggling with how to sew the front panel, it's meant to join and form a twist at the center however I cant figure out how to do this from the instructions! I bought silk to make my shirt out of so I don't want to cut it until I have figured out how to sew it.
Am feeling a bit bamboozled…………..
This is a link to the pattern.
any help kindly appreciated. :) Ali

Hmm, the instructions sound a little weird reading them through. Might be one of those projects that make more sense if you actually have all the pieces cut out and in front of you with all their markings on and take it slowly one step at a time. But to be safe, do you have some cheap fabric you could have a practice on first?
Nov 2, 2013, 05.55 PMby alij5
Hi – Sewingfan1, thanks, glad its not just me that finds them weird! Am thinking of cutting some muslin. Its about the same weight. Its the bit where I have to join the twist that I don't understand – as in where to cut and how to reassemble. Would love to know if anyone else has figured this out!
Nov 3, 2013, 08.02 PMby sewingfan1
You realise that you don't have to actually cut a slit though? At least that's how it reads to me.
When you fold over the fabric so the seams number 1 meet each other, there are slit markings that should have been transferred to the fabric ( they look like the symbols usually used to mark where a zipper ends) and so basically when you sew that seam from the slit marking to the number 1s you will naturally be left with an open slit.
I couldn't understand the bits about tightly gathering the fabric above the slit or the reason/how to clip the edges on the seam allowance and figured those would be the bits I'd probably try and figure out instinctively as and when I came to them if I was making it. It's probably one of those things that's really simple to do in practice but a nightmare to type up 'how to' details.
Nov 6, 2013, 10.52 AMby alij5
ugh – thank you so much. Going to have a go in the weekend. If it works I will put up a picture of my finished shirt!

FOUNDED BY H.L. Mencken in 1924, The American Mercury is now an online magazine, providing news and views for the thinkers and leaders of the next generation — and with a direct connection to the print Mercury and its legacy.
The Mercury believes that most political discourse in the media today is staged and inauthentic. We make an end run around it.
We aim to bypass the corporate media's sandbox and bring you original thinkers and their ideas, unmediated by the interests of capital or the political class.
Questioning the assumptions of the ruling globalist paradigm, the Mercury is for free, sustainable, independent communities for all peoples. We believe that Western Civilization — as well as indigenous communities worldwide — have a right to exist and be free.
We don't believe in empire, whether imposed by guns or by votes or by dollars.
The Mercury is for religious freedom, including the right to be a freethinker.
The Mercury is neither of the "left" or the "right." Critics of the oligarchy come from many traditions of thought and culture.
We actively seek out new writers and editors of excellence who believe in free thought and free communities. The new American Mercury was created in 2010 by a group of volunteer writers and editors, among whom are some who collectively worked with the contributors and management of the print Mercury for over 40 years.
From H.L. Mencken to Karl Hess, from William Bradford Huie to Harold Lord Varney, we stand for a tradition that we believe exemplifies what is best in American journalism.

Get AccessAbstract
Unossified epiphyses of Kniest dysplasia patients histologically reveal a bizarre pattern of chondrocytes lying amid a highly vacuolated matrix giving rise to the name "Swiss cheese" cartilage. The ossified epiphyses also are unusual in showing clouds of dense punctate calcifications randomly distributed throughout. Both unossified and ossified epiphyses reveal on MR imaging a similar pattern of lakes of bright T2 signal against a relatively normal background, which represents an interesting analogue to the histologic and radiographic features.

Shares of Sensata Technologies, which raised $568.8 million in the biggest IPO this year, are rising in their trading debut.
Sensata Technologies Holding NV, based in the Netherlands, priced 31.6 million shares at $18 apiece. It's the second company this week to sell shares to initial investors within its hoped-for range. That's happened in only about 38 percent of this year's IPOs.
Sensata makes sensors and controls, with more than half of its revenue coming from the auto industry. It is a former subsidiary of chip maker Texas Instruments Inc. and is now backed by private equity firm Bain Capital.
The shares, trading under the symbol "ST," are up 27 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $18.27 in morning trading.

Cordova will use $840K FEMA grant to help with tornado recovery
- Staff Birmingham Business Journal
Cordova will use an $840,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to fund the long-delayed demolition of most of its downtown area, which was badly damaged in the 2011 tornado outbreak.
According to the Associated Press, a FEMA spokesman said the grant will cover 90 percent of the cost of demolishing what's left of downtown Cordova.
City officials must obtain final bids and supply additional documentation before work can begin.

Who makes a better partner for your enterprise?
By Calvin Zito, aka @HPStorageGuy
I noticed one of our competitors has an announcement today - with a lot of fanfare about how they are able to help customers make their infrastructure future ready, flexible, and efficient. The problem I have is that they are a storage only vendor. Now, don't get me wrong - I obviously know that storage is a very important element of your infrastructure.
But how do you as a storage-only vendor make claims and promises about how you can revolutionize a customer's infrastructure when you only have one element of the infrastructure to offer? Sounds to me like a tire maker claiming they can give you a better car. Seems to me you'd be better off working with the car maker to get the most value.
Last week, HP announced our Enterprise Business strategy, the Instant-On Enterprise. As customers start to consider their options, you should consider working with a technology partner like HP that can help you with your car, not just tires.
I'm not going to try to cover the same ground that many of my HP colleagues have covered, so here are a few links where you can read what others have written about the Instant-On Enterprise:
- Duncan Campbell, Director of Marketing for HP Converged Infrastructure, has an article titled "Changing how Enterprises Work". Duncan was my boss in the not so distant past and has a good primer about the Instant-On Enterprise.
- Charlie Bess, HP Fellow and Cloud Advisor, has one of the better blog posts titled "What is HP doing to enable an Instant-On approach to business".
- For an outsider's perspective, read the article that Quentin Hardy wrote on Forbes' blog site titled, "HP's Move on IBM"
One of the core solutions in our Instant-On Enterprise is the Converged Infrastructure. I've talked about this more than a few times on this blog - it really is what differentiates HP from the one-trick pony vendors that only offer a piece of the infrastructure. If you're not up to speed on HP Converged Infrastructure, here's a video that I just saw today that is brand new and gives a good overview of Converged Infrastructure.
See the "Power of Converged Infrastructure" video.
David Scott, former CEO of 3PAR and now the VP and GM of HP storage was in Boise a few weeks ago. It was an internal meeting but a lot of what he talked about was centered on what has changed in the industry and how it's impacted storage. If I had any open questions about why HP bought 3PAR, I came away from that clearly understanding the importance of 3PAR to our future. It all ties into the Instant-On Enterprise and in a future article, I'll talk more about what David had to say.

I had no idea that the realestate market is ran by only hot fucking men. When he arrived, I tried to stay on the topic of selling my house, but I could not control myself. I knew that he was working for me, for the time being and I took advantage. I let my huge tits pop out and he couldnt resist. I have never been fucked so good, and its been years since my husband left me. He put me in every position you could imagine, and licked my ass so good my toes curled up. I love how a woman with big tits in a higher position could just take over a man.. Enjoy.

- These insane, buttery, crisp crab fritters.
- The wonderful take on surf and turf we indulged in – beef short ribs and crab legs. That chimichurri is so beyond what any pesto could ever hope to be.
- The perfectly stimulating, yet satisfying dessert melange we enjoyed – so many flavors (chocolate, coconut, toffee, salted caramel) and textures (dense, chewy, airy)… What a treat to sample Greg's talents!
- The unabashed enthusiasm of an owner who is able to indulge his inner DJ knowing that he (and his partner/wife) have assembled a professional staff who can keep the floor and kitchen consistently humming.

5 Things to love at Peck's Arcade
Yoga to the People
Jumping on a train for a Friday night show may conjure up a bit of je ne sais quoi, but trust me when I tell you, for me, it upends the entire weekend. I enjoy easing into the weekend. Fridays often mean some sort of exercise or maybe my monthly massage, not a dash to the city and a concert that doesn't really get started until after 9:00. Sorry to disappoint if you imagined otherwise.
Now, in no way am I complaining about a night in the city, my only intention is to point out that trekking to NYC takes me away from my routine, something to which I am quite committed. Fortunately, as I discovered doing a Yelp search, the means for grounding me was available right around the corner from my hotel – Yoga to the People.
Yoga to the People is a chain of yoga studios with locations in 3 states nationwide. There are 5 studios to choose from in NYC, some with set prices for classes and others available on a pay what you will basis. I attended a 90-minute hot yoga class at the W. 27th Street location and couldn't have been more pleased with my experience.
The studio is on the third floor and isn't immediately visible from the street. Fortunately, a fellow yogi pointed me in the right direction and I soon found myself in a bright, clean space with helpful folks at the counter. I paid for the class ($10) and rented a mat ($2), filling out a reusable name tag to leave beside my mat for the instructor's convenience should she have any personal corrections to make.
We had a large area in which to practice and there were probably a couple of dozen attendees. The floors weren't marked to indicate where mats should be set up so I ended up practically sucking the toes of the guy in front of me (not my idea of breakfast) since he placed his mat approximately six inches away from the top of mine. Eventually I did ask him to move a little and I only wish I had done it sooner.
On a happier note, the studio and the bathroom were both clean with the perfect hint of bleach. The 90-minute Bikram influenced class was great and I will definitely remember this place next time I'm staying in Chelsea. Yoga to the People delivered.

Spinning my wheels getting hot
Last Thursday night I doubled up my workout with a really cool event co-sponsored by The Revolution and The Hot Yoga Spot. Billed as "Hot Revolution," it was essentially a 45 minute spinning class followed by a 45 minute hot yoga class for the total bargain price of $20.
We began at 5:15 at The Rev's Latham studio. Getting there with evening rush hour traffic was a beast of epic proportions but my friend, Will, saved me bike and I clipped in just as the class was starting. This was my first time at this spinning studio and it is really top-notch with quality equipment, audio, lights and instruction. I hadn't been to a spinning class in at least 3 or 4 years and I was quickly reminded why that was the case…I really don't like spinning! Obviously, this is my issue because plenty of people looked really happy to be there. The enthusiasm of the instructor got me through the class but I was pretty glad to take off my cycling shoes and dash over to Latham location of the The Hot Yoga Spot.
I hadn't been to this studio since it was Saratoga Hot Yoga, a place to which I never felt connected. It's really spacious and the locker room and facilities were definitely capable of handling the fairly large group who attended the class. Aaron taught a terrific class which truly straddled the abilities and experience of a diverse group of people. It was awesome.
If this combo class sounds like something you'd be interested in giving a "spin", I suggest you "like" the Spin Revolution and The Hot Yoga Spot on Facebook or follow them on Twitter. This opportunity first came to my attention on one of those social media platforms. Also, don't hesitate about giving a challenging workout a try. There were all sorts of body types and fitness levels present and it was pretty cool to see a variety of people united in their interest in trying something new. Try it – the trip from bike to mat is one worth taking.
Hot yoga, even when it's not hot
Saturday I took advantage of the kind of deal that makes a cold January morning hot – a free 45 minute class taught by Andrea of The Hot Yoga Spot studio(s) and hosted at the new Athleta store at Crossgates Mall. This awesome community partnership will provide additional classes for each subsequent Saturday this month and I intend to make it to at least two more sessions. Maybe you should come, too!
So? How does it work? Simple. Take a look at the schedule, call the store to RSVP and show up with your mat, water and a towel. The classes are held right in the store (which is on the upper level across from Pottery Barn, next to Williams-Sonoma) before the store opens. Yesterday's class was fairly small, but there is plenty of potential room for larger classes since most of the displays are on wheels and can easily be rolled out of the way.
The class was a perfect way to begin a busy morning, gentle enough for newbies but with enough flow to create a little heat. The store is definitely not your usual yoga space, but an effort was made to keep the lights fairly low and the lack of mirrors convinced me I was doing everything right. A bonus for sure is the opportunity to shop prior to the store's opening to the general public. I didn't purchase anything yesterday, but I've got my eye on a sweet cashmere sweater and hope to snatch it up next week. Don't forget to ask for a Chi card. If you attend 4 classes or events this month submit your completed card and you're entered to win a $250 outfit!
I just made my reservation for next week's class scheduled to be taught by one of my favorite of The Hot Yoga Spot's instructors, Aaron. Now that my spot is secure, I can comfortably hit "publish" on this post and invite you all to book a little mat time for yourselves, but, I'd appreciate it if you could leave that adorable cropped cashmere sweater for me, ok?
Running to hide in the dark
It's times like this that make me understand the appeal of going to the theater to see a movie. Or three. I don't often get to the movies for a film that is anything other than rated PG, but during my winter holidays, I found my way to the Spectrum three times for grown up movies.Two of the movies I saw were based upon books which I had very much enjoyed, while the third appealed to my curiosity and is the one which I've found myself reflecting on with surprising frequency. All provided an opportunity to escape.
Escape from what, you ask? Christmas and the stress which it can bring, the reality of who is present in my life and who is not, and a grief that I found I could not run away from no matter how rapidly I moved my sneakered feet. The holidays are a cruel time for death to visit.
So, I went to the movies. First, my middle son and I took in Birdman (and a medium popcorn) together. The plot was interesting without being groundbreaking and I thought the cast was outstanding. Michael Keaton was utterly convincing in the title role and Edward Norton was his standard mesmerizing self. Emma Stone continues to be difficult to look away from and I only wish Naomi Watts had been in more scenes. Overall, I found the film a bit disturbing, but that's just coming from literal me. I like movies that neatly tie up in the end, and this definitely did not do that.
Christmas Day I made my way back down Delaware Avenue for a matinee of Unbroken. I've been waiting to see this movie since I read the book 3 years ago and, while I think the adaptation was respectfully done, the film simply could not live up to the printed page. There just isn't any way to capture the richness of Hillenbrand's book and Louis Zamperini's life in 120+ minutes. By all means, see the movie but do not think it tells the complete story. Read the book.
I completed my trifecta with another film based on a biography, Wild, starring Reese Witherspoon. I just recently read and loved the book and think the movie accurately portrayed the journey that Cheryl Strayed took in the aftermath of the demise of her mother and her marriage. There are always creative choices to be made and I think the scenes taken from the book and depicted on screen were wisely made. I liked it, but, you should still read the book if you haven't already.
Hooray for Hollywood and thank God for books and running.

The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone – by Adele Griffin
You know how certain books seem to take up residence in some internal place? Maybe your head, sometimes your heart, at times your imagination and occasionally your soul? This is one of those books. From the opening page this novel that presents as a work of nonfiction, absolutely grabbed me and I can't wait to booktalk it at the high school.
Told completely in interviews, news excerpts and images, this book magnificently wove a most believable cloth from threads of a fictional girl's life. We learn on the very first page of the book that Addison Stone, a heartbreakingly beautiful and talented young woman, has fallen to her death while attempting to plaster a billboard with one of her own original art pieces. Knowing how Addison's life ends does nothing to alleviate the almost palpable need to know how she lived and I struggled to put this book down. Super compelling.
I have something to confess. Author Adele Griffin so masterfully told this story that I actually spent some time searching the internet for clues about the art which accompanies the text in the novel. My attempt at determining responsibility for the book's artwork is a testament to the authenticity with which Griffin relates Addison's life.
As her friends and family, along with various other players from her abbreviated life, relate their impressions and memories, a picture which reveals a gifted, yet mentally unstable girl becomes increasingly more apparent. Poor Addison! Her sensitivity to all she alone could see made her, like many artists, too vulnerable to survive. Read this book. It will help to keep Addison alive a little longer.

Seven-year (p)itch
So…this Wednesday, 12/17, is the 7th anniversary of the Wine Bar & Bistro on Lark. Yes, that did go fast! I've been onboard for the last 4 years and consider myself fortunate to be able to continue having a presence in the local food scene in such a special spot, especially since my availability is generally limited to a single night of the week.
Lucky me, though, – I work Wednesday nights and will be on hand to celebrate our milestone. And you know what? You should be, too! We'll be featuring a few items from the original menu, at the original prices, and selected bottles of 2007 vintage wines will be available at a 50% discount. See? You're lucky, too!
That's a date then, right?
