South Carolina Property Tax for Senior Citizens
South Carolina Property Tax for Senior Citizens
The state of South Carolina has special provisions on property taxes for home owners who are 65 years of age or older and who have resided in the state for at least one year. These benefits are usually available for a surviving spouse if the deceased spouse was 65 or older. The surviving spouse must be 50 years of age or older. The benefit is known as homestead tax exemption and provides that the first $50,000 of the fair market value of the dwelling place, including mobile homes on leased land, shall be exempt from municipal, county, school and special assessment real property taxes.
To receive this exemption you must generally apply at your county auditor's office by July 15 of the year in which it is to be initially claimed. If you are unable to go there yourself, you may authorize someone to make the application for you. You must have proof of your age, such as from a birth certificate, Medicare card, Medicaid card or driver's license.
State property taxes which are actually paid may be fully deductible for federal income tax purposes if you itemize your deductions on your federal return. If you have any specific questions about the homestead tax exemption contact your county auditor, or your lawyer.
This information was prepared to give you some general information on the law. It is not intended as legal advice about any particular problem. If you have questions about the law you should consult a lawyer. If you do not know a lawyer, you can call the South Carolina Bar Lawyer Referral Service weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. The number is 799-7100 in Richland or Lexington Counties, and 1-800-868-2284 from other parts of the state.

Sunrise is a pretty dark place today.
This city on the edge of the Everglades is in the midst of a political war — and the air is so full of vitriol now that it's hard to tell which side is in the right, if any.
The conflict involves lawsuits, controversial legal decisions, allegations of homestead fraud, and at least one snooping private eye. Last week's council meeting was consumed by a controversy over who would fill the vacuum left by outgoing Mayor Steven Feren, the autocratic and secretive politico who is leaving the dais for a judgeship.
The worst (or best) of the dirt was dredged up recently by a private investigator funded by the city to tail James DePelisi, a perennial City Council candidate who plans to run for a seat in March.
DePelisi, a 41-year-old investment adviser, filed suit last year against two commissioners, Roger Wishner and Sheila Alu. The suit claimed the commissioners defamed DePelisi by saying that he had used anti-Semitic tactics during his unsuccessful run for office last year against Commissioner and Deputy Mayor Wishner.
Sunrise is footing the bill for the defense of the DePelisi lawsuit, and City Attorney Stuart Michelson hired a private investigator to follow DePelisi for a week.
When I told DePelisi that he'd been followed by a P.I., he laughed.
"It wouldn't surprise me," he said. "I hope they don't have pictures of me in my birthday suit. If that's how they want to do things, then voters should decide if they agree with it. I think they hang themselves with a large noose that way."
Surveillance is a dubious if often-used legal tactic. But some of the information gained from the investigation is already being used as political ammunition against DePelisi.
DePelisi was found to reside primarily not in a Sunrise home he owns with his 79-year-old mother but in a house owned by his wife, Hope Schoengood, in Boca Raton.
DePelisi scoffs at the allegation.
"It's impossible that they learned that I lived in Boca Raton, because I live in Sunrise and have lived in Sunrise since 1989," DePelisi counters.
He claims he lives in the Sunrise house with his mother, his pregnant wife, and their 2-year-old son.
But nothing plays out that simply in Sunrise politics.
When I pressed DePelisi, he conceded that he and his wife sometimes stay in the Boca Raton house for a couple of days at a time as a "getaway." And in a deposition taken this past April in the defamation suit, his wife provided a different story.
"I live in Boca, and he resides in Sunrise," Schoengood testified.
"Is that how it's been during the course of the marriage that you don't live under the same roof?" Michelson asked her.
"Yes," she answered.
Schoengood's answers could have legal implications: She has a state homestead exemption on the house in Boca, while her husband, DePelisi, holds a homestead exemption (with his mother) on the house in Sunrise.
"As long as my wife doesn't abandon the house, she is allowed to keep that exemption," DePelisi says. "She can live in Sunrise or Brooklyn. It doesn't matter."
Actually, the Florida Constitution forbids a "family unit" from holding two homestead exemptions. Because the exemption on the Sunrise house is in his mother's name, though, the situation might be just murky enough to be legal.
The snooping by the city might be unseemly, but DePelisi opened himself up for it by filing the dubious defamation case. And it's not his first. In 2006, he filed a similar lawsuit against elderly Sunrise resident Marvin Langendorf, who allegedly called DePelisi a "scam artist" at a City Commission meeting.
The roots of Langendorf's allegation come from a 1998 case that seems to back up the assertion — and calls into question DePelisi's fitness for public office.
DePelisi sold securities for a company called kidZtime, which the Colorado Attorney General's Office later dubbed a "$47 million multinational investment scam."
Working as a salesman for the company, DePelisi called people on the phone in Missouri to induce them to invest in kidZtime, even though neither he nor the securities he was selling were registered in that state. The state issued him and others involved with the company a cease-and-desist order in 1998 to halt their "fraudulent and unlawful actions."
It turned out that kidZtime, which was supposed to create nonviolent children's programming, was a scam, according to authorities. Numerous states took action against kidZtime. Colorado even filed criminal charges against company leaders, resulting in numerous theft and fraud convictions.
DePelisi was never charged with a crime. But the Missouri cease-and-desist order details DePelisi's tactics with two Missouri residents whom he promised lucrative monthly dividend checks in return for an investment in the company. During telephone conversations, DePelisi told victims that their investments were "in the future of our country through our children" and that "it was an opportunity to speak out against the pervasive violence on most children's television programs," according to the cease-and-desist order.
Records indicate he strung along the residents for several months, collecting additional sums of money before the victims realized they weren't going to see any returns. They invested tens of thousands of dollars but never received dividend checks, according to public records.

K-Touch Treasure V8 pops on NVIDIA's Tegra 3 list
By Loh Ving Sung GooglePlus
28 February 2012 - NVIDIA has released a list of mobile phones based on its Tegra 3 platform, and among those listed are the HTC One X, LG Optimus 4X HD and a few other gems from the MWC showfloor. It appears that one of them went unannounced, and is listed as the K-Touch Treasure V8. Sounds vague? That's because the only other K-Touch before this was on Chinese carrier China Unicom. It was a Tegra 2-powered W700. Aside from this render and it has a Tegra 3 chipset, there is no additional information on the handset whatsoever.
" NVIDIA telah mengeluarkan senarai telefon yang menggunakan platform Tegra 3 dan antara model telefon tersenarai ialah HTC One X, LG Optimus 4X HD dan beberapa lagi model yang dilancarkan di MWC. Namun kelihatan satu model yang tersenarai tidak dilancarkan dan ianya dikenali sebagai K-Touch Treasure V8 "

Let's try brutal honesty.
Holder's proposed drug policy is meant to give his peeps a get out of jail card just in time for the 2014 elections, another bribe to the seriously degenerative black population. (not racist ma'am, just fact)
Cash for clunkers, free phones, 99 weeks unemployment, HARP all are based on purchasing black votes.
Drugs are the employment and entertainment option of choice in the 'hood. Letting gang bangers in jail for 'lesser', whatever that means, offenses loose means Chicago will really run red; and NYC; and LA; and ....
Brown shirts. yep.

Hans, what is in 'dmesg' about your network cards? From that you can tell whether you have a kernel, driver or set-up problem. Since it's usb and if your kernel is modular, it is important that the usb modules load in the right order. The book covers this in the kernel chapter. Dan

Most Wikipedia articles representing serious medical conditions contain many errors, according to a new study published in the peer reviewed Journal of the American Osteopathic Association.
Researchers identified the 10 most costly medical conditions in the US in terms of public and private expenditure (coronary artery disease, lung cancer, major depressive disorder, osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, back pain hyperlipidemia and concussion) and independently reviewed the Wikipedia entry for each.
They identified statements of fact – between 28 and 172 within each article – and compared them with peer-reviewed sources to see if they were supported. Between 55% and 100% of the statements checked in each article agreed with the corresponding peer-reviewed literature. However the authors found significant differences in nine of the 10 articles.
There are around 20,000 health articles on Wikipedia, and this study only looked at 10. However anyone can add to and edit the information on Wikipedia and editors don't need to have specialist knowledge or qualifications. These findings highlight the importance of being cautious when using this website (and the internet in general) to get online health advice.

In accounting, book value or carrying value is the value of an asset according to its balance sheet account balance. For assets, the value is based on the original cost of the asset less any depreciation, amortization or impairment costs made against the asset. Traditionally, a company's book value is its total assets minus intangible assets and liabilities. However, in practice, depending on the source of the calculation, book value may variably include goodwill, intangible assets, or both. When intangible assets and goodwill are explicitly excluded, the metric is often specified to be "tangible book value".
In the United Kingdom, the term net asset value may refer to the book value of a company.
A pickup truck, often simply referred to as a pickup or pick-up, is a light motor vehicle with an open-top, rear cargo area (bed).
In North America, the term pickup is used for light trucks with a lighter duty chassis and factory built, integrated bed, as well as for coupé utility vehicles, often based on a personal car chassis, but also often on a special dedicated chassis for such use.
The F-Series is a series of full-size pickup trucks from Ford Motor Company which has been sold continuously for over six decades. The most popular variant of the F-Series is the F-150. It was the best-selling vehicle in the United States for 17 years, currently (2013) the best-selling pick-up for 43 years, and the best selling vehicle in Canada, though this does not include combined sales of GM pick-up trucks. In the tenth generation of the F-series, the F-250 and F-350 changed body style in 1998 and joined the Super Duty series.
During the post-World War II era, smaller Canadian villages had access to either a Ford dealer or a Lincoln-Mercury-Meteor dealer, but not both; a Mercury-badged version was sold at Lincoln-Mercury-Meteor dealers there from 1946–68. Other than the grilles, trim, and badging, these pick-ups were identical to their Ford counterparts.

Pharmacology (from Greek φάρμακον, pharmakon, "poison" in classic Greek; "drug" in modern Greek; and -λογία, -logia "study of", "knowledge of") is the branch of medicine and biology concerned with the study of drug action, where a drug can be broadly defined as any man-made, natural, or endogenous (within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemical and/or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism. More specifically, it is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. If substances have medicinal properties, they are considered pharmaceuticals.

One way to raise credit scores is by using less of your available credit. The credit scoring system rewards consumers who do not utilize their entire available credit limit. You can raise your credit score because a higher credit limit will reduce your debt utilization ratio.
The amount of debt owed compared to your available credit limits accounts for 30% of your total credit score. This is the debt utilization ratio.
To calculate your debt utilization take the total amount you owe and divide it by the total amount of credit you can borrow.
Any outstanding debt is included in the debt utilization ratio which means all credit card debt, personal, auto and mortgage loans and even home equity lines of credit.
The lower the debt utilization ratio the better your credit score. Let's say you have $10,000 in available credit but only owe $3,000 on the credit card, your debt utilization ratio is only 30%. But if you owed $9,000 on the credit card that would mean you are using 90% of your available credit.
The credit scoring formula will view you as a high risk. They will interpret high credit utilization as a sign of financial trouble and possible default on other credit obligations.
Consumers who keep their account balances to at least 30% or lower of the available credit limit are viewed as good credit risks. Credit accounts that are not maxed out translate into good credit management. The credit scoring formula rewards consumers who manage credit well.
Watch out for balance transfers. They can raise your utilization ratio and lower your credit score. Should you transfer an account balance because a new credit card offers a lower rate; that new credit card could come with a lower credit limit which would increase your credit utilization.
As mentioned above, a high credit utilization ratio will lower your credit score. But should this occur you have an opportunity to regain credit score points by paying down the balance on the new card quickly. It does not have to be paid in full to see an increase, you will raise your credit score if you can get it to 30% of the credit limit.
Paying down your credit account balances will decrease the credit utilization ratio and thereby raise your credit score. However, it is not always financially feasible to pay down credit accounts. In this case, requesting a credit line increase can accomplish the same.
A credit limit increase can raise your credit score if handled correctly. The strategy is to request an increase in credit limit but do not use the new available credit. Get all three of your credit scores free today.

Radionuclide Measurements of Mucociliary Clearance
We have had extensive experience with measuring mucociliary clearance as a function of disease status and importantly, in response to therapeutic agents (see Figure 18). More recently, these techniques have been extended so that analyses of the heterogeneity of mucus transport as a function of disease status and therapeutic intervention can now be measured (see Figure 19).
The inhaled radionucleotide technique can also be utilized for measurements of the total deposition and intraregional deposition of novel therapeutic agents. Thus, we have had extensive experience measuring upper airway, lower airway, and intraregional distributions of inhaled radionuclides as delivered by novel therapeutic devices. This technique is also suitable for performing bridging studies with respect to different devices delivering a common therapeutic agent.
Figure 18. (Left) radionuclide deposition in normal subject; (Right) acceleration of clearance after inhaled hypertonic saline (HS). | Figure 19. Heterogeneity of mucus clearance in right lung of CF subject. |
In addition to classical CT imaging techniques, we have recently advanced the utilization of MRI for investigation of pulmonary disease and therapeutics directed towards restoration of pulmonary function. Novel techniques include state-of-the-art algorithms to generate detailed structural information about the lung from MRI, utilization of measurements of blood flow to generate insights into airway plugging, and soon, the ability to use hyperpolarized xenon to generate measurements of gas distribution to complete the characterization of the lung by this powerful, non-radiation exposing technique.

I'm not a CB or Riri homer, I can buy his music, hate some of it, like some of Rihanna's music, indifferent to some of it…I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm not reppin any of them. Both are a bit childish and narcissistic…as I was at that age. I think Riri is maturing at a faster rate than Chris, but men are usually a little slower than women so that's normal. They bring out the best & worse in each other…however I believe they've been through too much together, therefore neither will find someone that can break the bond. Like my ex, we don't need to see each other or cross paths ever again, or genuine feelings might return. CB and Riri would always see each other on the internet, tv, blog pictures…its impossible for them to really move on.

Another average song by CB and idk what Tank was thinking… So not him… He really needs to get on some type of weight gain plan or stop smoking so many cigs bc he literally looks about 6'1 160.. They couldn't even show his entire body close up.. What video you ever seen them not do that?!?! ESP if his shirt is off.. In 8 years as a CB fan I've never seen him this skinny :/… Wish we could rewind time back to the 'take you down' days
Posted at 8:21 PM on June 6, 2013
@Who Dat: How do you want him look like? Round face Drake? Why don't you go worry about Rihanna working on her gaining weight program? You worried about him. But the only ones I don't see guys chasing after is Ri and no one wants Drake. You worry about a guy that got 3 girls including Rihanna chasing him. So I think the boy is doing alright compared to you guys. Don't you think? Action speaks louder than words.
Who dat

I truly believe CB is talented he just needs to focus more on his art, which his FANS also need to do…I was just stating a FACT CB looks malnourished, also the song coming from Tank should be more of a Ballad too much auto tune and SERIOUSLY Tyrese should have taken his shirt off………lol

CB is showing ribs, not abs. He doesn't have a workout regime, that's how he can consume large amounts of alcohol nightly, because he's not eating solid food. No one can workout after nightly binges of alcohol…those are his ribs showing. Rihanna looks as if she has cut down on alcohol nightly and gaining weight…..maybe getting her system ready for a gut full of baby. She did tell her record company that she needs a long break…

I've been searching for a silicone free conditioner that doesn't contain isothiazolinone (allergic) and decided to try this based on some great reviews. It smells nice but that's about it, it doesn't really detangle my hair and have to use a lot which makes it very expensive. It was gone in about 5-6 washes. My search continues...
In my quest to go cruelty free, I decided to try out Whenever since it comes in a large quantity (great for co-washing) and is somewhat "natural." The scent is a mild lime scent but it doesn't linger. That's where all of the benefits stop. The texture of the product is watery and chunky at the same time (like cottage cheese). When I first started using this product for co-washing, it left my hair feeling light and fluffy (not to be confused with frizzy) while my scalp felt clean. The shine it left and moisture it provided was so-so; I've gotten glossier results with other conditioners. The conditioner itself is not very emollient at all, even after saturating my hair with water, it was hard to spread the conditioner through my strands or massage into my scalp (it was like my hair absorbed it all up right where it was applied). After the sixth use, I started noticing how my hair would get greasy on the second day (when previously my hair would not get greasy on the second day after co-washing). I attribute this to all of the essential oils they've put into the product to stand in for other synthetic/chemical moisturizers. One of the main reasons why I switched to co-washing was that it helped prevent my scalp from getting greasy but this product just completely cancels out everything. Not a fan and there are other cruelty free conditioners that come in economy size packaging that work better than this. I would say this is comparable to Whole Foods brand Citrus Grapefruit conditioner and that is 50% cheaper than Kiss My Face (same size if not bigger). I ended up using up all 16 oz. of this product but that's only because I don't like to waste product. Definitely not purchasing again.
Kiss My Face Whenever Conditioner was completely reformulated in 2013 when they redesigned their packaging from green to white bottles. I loved the old lightweight, aloe vera based formula for my long, fine hair. My heart sank when I saw the new packaging, with argan oil mentioned in two places, just on the front of the bottle alone. They threw their tried and true formula away, for chasing the latest ingredient trend. Furthermore, the main ingredient is now coconut oil, not aloe.
Sure enough, with all this oil, the old conditioner that never weighed my hair down is gone. The only resemblance to the old formula is the color and scent. I wish they had just given this new conditioner a new name! Be sure to disregard all product reviews before mid-2013.

I really like this conditioner and the matching shampoo. In fact, it's the only conditioner I ever use anymore. I love the sort of lime like scent, but I love the results even more. I have fine (but far from thin) wavy hair that's prone to frizz, dryness, and lack of shine. But since I've started using this duo my frizz has significantly diminished, my hair is full of shine, and it feels moisturized and soft. The conditioner isn't very thick, but I definitely wouldn't describe it as runny, either. I have hair that is mid-back in length and find 5-6 pumps does the trick for me. It rinses easily and leaves no residue. I also find that with this line my waves are enhanced a bit, and my hair remains full of body but doesn't appear 'poofed' since my waves remain intact. I'm quite pleased with it. I use this as a rinse out conditioner and also as a CO wash on days when I don't shampoo. I also on occasion use a bit after shampooing or CO washing as a leave-in conditioner. I buy the liter sized bottles from the Kiss My Face website and find it to be very fairly priced. As a side note - this has been reformulated. It is the new formula that this review is for, so I can't speak of or compare it to the old one. New formula ingredients: Aqua, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sorbitan Laurate, Glycerin, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice*, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil*, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Rosa Canina (Rose Hip) Fruit Extract*, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract*, Equisetum Hiemale (Horsetail) Leaf Extract*, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract, Panthenol, Eucalyptus Globulus (Eucalyptus) Leaf Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus (Lemongrass) Leaf Oil, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil, Citric Acid, Sodium Phytate, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate *Organic

I was excited to try this conditioner due to the high reviews but ended up being disappointed. I like that the conditioner is free of sulfates and somewhat natural. It comes out thick but I found that I needed a lot to properly cover my hair and even then, my hair felt dry afterwards. I have been using an all natural, cones free conditioner so I know that the no cones is not the cause. This conditioner also left my usually very shiny hair matte and dull. I also don't really like the scent that so many people seem to love. It's much too sharp and does not last in the hair. I cannot even smell it right after stepping out of the shower and I like my shampoo & conditioner to leave its nice scents in my hair.

- cheap (ish)
- wasn't great in the long run. got about halfway through the bottle.

At first I hated this conditioner. I could not understand why it got such good reviews on MUA, but I stuck with it, and now I love it. It just magically turned around for me one day!
I had been convinced that this conditioner was leaving my hair with no slip and copious amounts of tangles but I was, admittedly, wrong. The lime smell is heavenly- if it came in a perfume, I'd snatch it up- and the slip is actually fantastic. My hair is already extremely soft because it's babyfine, but I can tell that this adds more softness to it because I can't even put my hair up when I use this- the scrunchie/clip will slip right out. I think it also adds lots of shine.
It's true to its name, I believe. It's a 'whenever' conditioner, the epitome of a daily use conditioner. The packaging doesn't usually bother me; it can be difficult to squeeze out if you don't collect the product near the cap. And I always manage to find it on sale (:

Ya know...I'm suprised. This is my mom's conditioner and I usually never use her products because she's a health nut and I'm convinced they don't work. But I tried this when I didn't have any conditioner, and wow. This made my hair noticably healthier. And gave it a lustre. It's also made my hair soft and detangled it as well and that can be hard to do considering I have long hair. Will repurchase!

Rikki Rockett welcomes Steven Adler to RDW roster.
Rikki Rockett & Steven Adler.
Steven visited Rockett Drum Works in Woodland Hills, California this past Saturday to check in on the construction of his very own Rockett premium maple kit. While he was there, he also had the opportunity to try out some of the other kits in the RDW line. "They all play great!" he said, "Great sound! I'm so happy to be working with Rikki and everybody here!"
In an email sent from Rikki, he states "I have known Steven for about 24 years. We go way back to when all of us were toughing it out on the famous Hollywood rock circuit. Back then, we didn't know where our next meal was coming from, let alone our next pair of drum sticks! Today it's nice to be able to hand the keys to Steven on what I consider to be the Ferrari of drum kits."
Indeed, Steven's new kit is awesome! There's premium Drum Workshop bass spurs and tom legs, and custom billet aluminum single-point lugs used on all drums. The hardware is custom powder-coated transparent candy red. The drums' edges are cut at a double 45 degree, and the interiors are sanded smooth. Mark Remling of Coast Airbrush provided the stunning custom finish, the Tequila Sunrise burst.
"Steven has been through some amazing times and some really rough times" Rikki continued, "Somehow, he can sit right down and play drums like he never missed a beat anywhere in his life. I believe that is because it is coming from the soul and not from memory. This is the single thing that separates a drummer from a drum artist. Steven is indeed an artist. We here at Rockett Drum Works are proud to have him on our roster."

Currently a mother-to-be herself for the second time around, co-founder of Marchesa, Georgina Chapman, dishes about her own pregnancy and gives advice to Kate Middleton on how to dress as her pregnancy progresses — she says it's all about 'embracing' your growing bump and staying 'comfortable' as your body changes!
If anyone knows how to always look stylish and chic, it's designer Georgina Chapman, co-founder of Marchesa. When she isn't sending ethereal frocks down the runway or watching them storm the red carpet, she's judging Project Runway All Stars alongside designer Isaac Mizrahi, mentor Joanna Coles, and host Carolyn Murphy. We got to catch up with the multi-tasking mom, (who currently has baby number two on board!), who filled us in on what it's really like on the second season of the fashion reality show — and she even gave us her personal take on Kate Middleton's Royal maternity style!
"She's so stylish, she always gets it right," she said when we asked her about Kate. "I think it depends on body type. Everyone changes differently, but you need to be comfortable and definitely embrace these wonderful months of your life, it's just great."
While Georgina admits she has been "rather lucky with easy pregnancies," she sympathizes with the Duchess and her bout of acute morning sickness. "I hope she's feeling better, I really do. The poor thing," she said.
If anyone knows how to keep it stylish and chic during pregnancy, it's definitely Georgina. We think trying to stay comfortable during these nine months is a great piece of advice for Kate, especially since she has been feeling under the weather — and we can't wait to see how her maternity style evolves, along with her growing baby bump!

at least get the name of the condition correct it's hyperpermesis gravidarum which can be deadly for both mother and child. if Mrs Chapman has never had M/S she has no clue what Duchess Catherine is going through why not ask someone who has admitted to battling morning sickness on at least one occasion like Stella McCartney she admitted to having it horribly with her daughter Bailey in 2006 after not having it with her son Miller the year before

Hexie Paper Piecing Tutorial - Part 1. Okay peeps...this is a continuation of my last post where I showed you how I cut out my hexagons.Now I'll show you how I stitch them around paper pieces.I'm sure there are alot of ways to do english paper piecing but this is how I do mine and it has worked for me for lots of years...
I place the hexagon paper in the center on the wrong side of the fabric hexie and use a paper clip to hold down the seam allowance on one edge. The paper clip is a really handy helper. He helps to keep the paper centered by stopping the fabric from sliding around. I like to assembly line my hexies....as you can see in the background of my photo! I use a single thread about 18" long in my needle and tie a knot on the end. Angry Birds. This is my Top Secret Christmas Project! My boys (husband included, but especially the boys!) Are obsessed with the game Angry Birds.
They like the game, but they really like to play a real life version they invented, where they chuck objects at each other. (Don't worry! The table cloth skirt. Measure 1"from the top and this is where your zipper top will be. pin your zipper all along (the 6 inches that is left opened) make sure the zipper is facing away from you. and at the bottom of your opening (like 1/4" lower than your opening) place a pin sideways so you can see where you will need to cross over your zipper using a zipper foot, sew down one side (pull pins out as you go) make sure you are sort of close to the inside of your "teeth" of the zipper. when you get to the needle that indicates where the end of your zipper is suppose to be (the blue needle i put sideways), sew over the zipper, back stitch a few times to make sure you make enough of a "barrier" so your zipper will stop. next you want to sew up the other side still close to the zipper. when you get to the top make sure you back stitch. and cut off the extra zipper part on the bottom.
Beach Towel Dress. Pattern junkie. I have a lot of pattern pics stored on my computer in files with titles like "Doll Terror," "What's On Her Head?
," "International Superspy" and "Dress of Evil" -- but one of the biggest categories by far is "Up To No Good. " What is it about groups of women that suggest that they are, well, up to no good? *giveaway closed* By request (+Giveaway!) I was asked to make a tutorial for either bag #2 or #3 in my earlier "Bags" post, so here it is!
The bags are very similar, but because of the heavier fabric that I'm using for this bag, I chose bag #3 with the pleating, instead of gathering. I will try to do instructions for both though.

FHSU baseball splits
By CONOR NICHOLL
Senior outfielder/catcher Shane Wade believes the Fort Hays State University baseball team could have a better record this season.
"There is definitely some that we have probably thrown away," Wade said. "We get good starts and then we don't hit at times, so it is kind of just putting it all together at once. I think if we can do that, we can beat anyone."
In Game 1, the Tigers lost another frustrating contest, 8-7, to Truman State (Mo.) University on Saturday at Larks Park. In Game 2, Fort Hays trailed 4-2 entering the bottom of the fifth, but delivered a 15-5 victory called in the bottom of the seventh because of the run rule.
Fort Hays moved to 22-18, 18-17 MIAA with three games left in the regular season. Truman State improved to 10-30, 9-28 MIAA. The Tigers are ninth in the conference; top eight reach the MIAA redundant tournament.
"Talk it about every day -- if you don't want to qualify for that, then you probably shouldn't be playing, so we are definitely battling as much as we can," Wade said.
Today marks the Senior Day for 14 seniors, including the entire starting infield. Game time is noon against the Bulldogs.
"It's been a great time, the opportunity to play for a great program, a good coach, definitely going to miss it," Wade said.
Truman State, a program that hasn't had a winning season since 1982, has played many top teams close, including a 7-5 victory against St. Cloud (Minn.) State, then-ranked No. 4 in the country. The Bulldogs also suffered a one-run loss to St. Cloud and fell twice to then fifth-ranked University of Central Missouri by close margins.
"They always pitch, they always keep themselves in games, they are very well-coached, they execute," Tiger coach Steve Johnson said. "I was talking to their coach the other day, and he was very frustrated, because he thinks it's hands down the best team he has had."
In Game 1, Fort Hays never led, but tied the game on multiple occasions, including 2-2 after the first inning and 4-4 after five innings. While the play didn't allow any runs, the contest was marked by a bizarre play in the top of the third inning that yielded a long argument from Tiger coach Steve Johnson and an upset fan base. Sophomore outfielder Jarod Hahn hit a ground ball.
FHSU senior first baseman Ryan Busboom appeared to step on the first base bag before Hahn reached the base. Hahn reached out and hit Busboom's glove, jarring the ball to the ground. Hahn was called safe.
Johnson and the umpires argued about Rule 2.00 on the voluntary release; "In establishing the validity of the catch, the fielder shall hold the ball long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball and that his release of the ball is voluntary and intentional."
"I understand the rule completely," Johnson said. "I disagree with how it is called there though. I think the play was over and contact was made, causing involuntary release and that's what they ruled."
"They are going to get blown sometimes, but you've just got to deal with it, and battle with adversity, go to the next pitch," Wade added.
Despite five Bulldog errors, Fort Hays couldn't pull ahead. The Tigers left bases loaded in the fourth, two on in the fifth and sixth and one on in the seventh. Senior Tayler Davis (6-3) took the loss after he allowed eight runs, all earned, on 11 hits in 5.2 innings.
"We didn't swing the bats well the whole game," Johnson said. "They gave us every opportunity to win that game, and we couldn't come through with a big hit after multiple errors."
In Game 2, Fort Hays took its first lead of the day with Wade's RBI single in a five-run fifth inning. Senior Jarrett Eiskina (0-7) allowed seven runs (six earned) in 4.2 innings, while senior Alex Ellison (3-6) earned the victory and junior Michael Edlefson picked up the save. Fort Hays ended the game with an eight-run seventh inning that included a leadoff homer from junior designated hitter Horace Johnson.
"I am proud of the kids for sticking with it," Johnson said. "We knew what we were going to see in the second game, the kid throws all breaking balls. You've just got to stay with a guy like that."

Wednesday, June 8, 2011 More items for Health & Safety
Steel, aluminum and other metals producers, take note: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is watching you.
OSHA has issued a new directive establishing a National Emphasis Program for the Primary Metals Industries, designed to target worker exposures to chemical and physical hazards in these establishments.
The new OSHA program joins similar ones aimed at reducing worker exposures to Hexavalent Chromium, Lead and Crystalline Silica.
Serious Exposures Alleged
Affected establishments are those involved in extracting and refining metals from rocks containing iron, lead, nickel and tin, among other elements. These include manufacturers of steel piping, nails, insulated wires and cables, copper and aluminum products.
Amazing Alabama
The NEP establishment list covers the NAICS codes for:
· Steel Works, Blast Furnaces (including Coke Ovens) and Rolling Mills; · Electrometallurgical Products Except Steel; · Cold-Rolled Steel Sheet, Strip and Bars; · Steel Pipe and Tubes; · Foundries for Aluminum, Malleable Iron, Steel, Nonferrous, and Gray and Ductile Iron; · Primary and Secondary Smelting and Refining of Nonferrous Metals, including Copper and Aluminum; · Rolling, Drawing and Extruding of Copper; and · Aluminum Extruded Products.
· Steel Works, Blast Furnaces (including Coke Ovens) and Rolling Mills;
· Electrometallurgical Products Except Steel;
· Cold-Rolled Steel Sheet, Strip and Bars;
· Steel Pipe and Tubes;
· Foundries for Aluminum, Malleable Iron, Steel, Nonferrous, and Gray and Ductile Iron;
· Primary and Secondary Smelting and Refining of Nonferrous Metals, including Copper and Aluminum;
· Rolling, Drawing and Extruding of Copper; and
· Aluminum Extruded Products.
OSHAsays these industries became a concern during its review of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries.
Previous OSHA inspections revealed that workers in this industry were exposed to noise and heat hazards, as well as metal dusts and fumes, carbon monoxide, lead and silica, among other substances.
Such exposures can cause damage to the eyes, nose, throat and skin; difficulty breathing; and chest and joint pain. Overexposures can be fatal.
"OSHA developed this program because of the seriousness and frequency of these problems," the agency said.
Raising Awareness
The NEP aims to minimize or eliminate hazardous exposures through inspections and follow-up visits.
"Workers who are not properly protected from the hazards of metals refining are at increased risk of serious, potentially deadly health effects," said Dr. David Michaels, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health.
"OSHA's new enforcement program will raise awareness of the dangers of exposure to metals and other chemicals, so that employers can correct hazards and comply with OSHA standards."
Comment from Lubomir Jancovic, (6/9/2011, 11:50 AM)
16 years I was blasting metals and spraying pure of zinc and pure of aluminum, bronze, braz, tin and other metals need, but all the time I was used helmet B13 with fresh air and never I don't had any problems with my lung. I was spray similar metals in the A&A Company just 2 years and I have problems from that time not just with a breathing, but with a bounds also. A&A Company use all respirators and falow OSHA recomendations for the employers. Some thinks is no good on it.

Senator Ted Cruz ends marathon speech against 'Obamacare'
After more than 21 hours, Republican Senator Ted Cruz has finished speaking against the Obama health law, amid bipartisan attempts to avert a looming government shutdown.
The Tea Party Texan's filibuster-style oratory continued through the night, after he vowed to speak "until I am no longer able to stand".
Some of Sen Cruz's own Republican colleagues accused him of political grandstanding, warning it could backfire if the government does shut down next week, as scheduled.
Congress has until 1 October to pass a temporary budget bill to keep federal agencies running.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives last week passed its own version of the spending measure.
Nazis evokedLawmakers in that chamber inserted a provision - largely at the behest of Sen Cruz and his Tea Party allies - that would strip funds from President Barack Obama's 2010 healthcare bill.
Some Republicans despair of both Sen Ted Cruz's tactics and his ego. But he won't care - he has embraced Sen John McCain's description of him as a "wacko bird". Reading Dr Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham from the Senate floor can only elevate him from Daffy Duck to Roadrunner in the esteem of his public admirers.
Some Republicans think what he is doing is either pointless or dangerous. Pointless because this is not a classic filibuster - it stands no chance of actually killing the bill. Beyond that, it is odd, because the bill he is delaying couples paying the government's bills to defunding Obamacare.
That linkage is a core conservative tactic, which Mr Cruz himself agrees with. As Dr Seuss once wrote: "From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!"
That part will be removed from the version in the Senate, which on Wednesday held a procedural test vote on the matter, voting 100-0 to take up the House bill.
If, as expected, the Senate revises the House bill, the House will then have to decide whether to pass that bill or find a compromise with the Senate. They have until next Tuesday to avert a shutdown.
Sen Cruz, who began talking at 14:41 local time (18:41 GMT) on Tuesday, held the floor for 21 hours and 19 minutes, but had to yield at midday. It was the fourth-longest speech in Senate history.
Analysts say his marathon talk was a mainly symbolic gesture of defiance, rather than a filibuster - a tactic made famous by the 1939 Jimmy Stewart film, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington - as it could not hold up Senate proceedings.
Republicans sympathise with Sen Cruz's attempts to neuter the health law, which they label Obamacare.
But many deem his strategy to be politically unfeasible as long as Democrats control the Senate and White House.
With an eye on next year's midterm congressional elections, a number of Republicans are also concerned that voters might blame them for the havoc that results from any government shutdown.
Forgoing his cowboy boots for tennis shoes, Sen Cruz, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, railed all night against the Obama health law, calling it the country's "biggest jobs killer" and comparing his struggle to the fight against the Nazis, or the American Revolution.
'Bad haircuts'To fill the time, the first-term senator covered a range of subjects, sharing with the largely empty chamber his penchant for the mini-hamburgers at fast-food chain White Castle; quoting from a reality television show, Duck Dynasty, as well as lyrics by country singer Toby Keith; and praising a recent speech by actor Ashton Kutcher on the value of hard work.
At one point on Tuesday night, Sen Cruz read bedtime stories - including the Dr Seuss favourite, Green Eggs and Ham - to his two young daughters, who he said were watching at home.
He also poked fun at fellow lawmakers: "Almost all of us are in cheap suits with bad haircuts. Who cares?"
Several Tea Party allies, including Senators Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, gave Sen Cruz some respite by taking to the lectern in his support.
Under the chamber's rules, Sen Cruz was allowed to give way to colleagues for long-form questions, but could not leave the floor or sit down while his speech was under way.
He took advantage of the break by strolling, stretching and leaning against desks.
But the top two Republicans in the Senate, Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn, refused to back him.
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid dismissed Mr Cruz's speech on Wednesday.
"For lack of a better way of describing this, it has been a big waste of time," Mr Reid said.
Famous US filibusters
- The longest filibuster came when US Senator Strom Thurmond spoke against civil rights reforms for 24 hours 18 minutes in 1957
- US Senator Alfonse D'Amato (above, left) of New York kept going for 23 hours and 30 minutes in an attempt to block a military bill in 1986
- Robert Byrd (right) of West Virginia spoke against the 1964 Civil Rights Act for 14 hours 13 minutes.
- Huey Long (centre) of Louisiana discussed the merits of various recipes during his 15-hour filibuster in 1935
- In March this year, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul criticised US drone policy for nearly 13 hours
