Wool sweater
Fabric glue
Lingerie bag
Unfelted cord
Felted white circles
Teacup Pincushions How-To
1. Select a sweater to felt (ones made of lambswool and Shetland wool with no more than 10 percent nylon work best). Cut off sleeves from sweater and cut them open so there are no crease lines.
2. Wash in a washing machine with hot water and soap until the fabric is felted. (To test felt, snip fabric. If it is felted, the fabric will not fray.)
3. Make the center of the "tea" by cutting two 5-by-11-inch brown and cream rectangles. One by one, fold rectangles lengthwise and pin to secure. Stack one on top of the other, offsetting the top one by 1/2 inch to the left. Starting from the right, roll widthwise until spiral is about 2 inches in diameter. Secure in place with pins. Cut off excess length. Baste in place with a few hand-stitches. The folded edge of the roll will be the top. Trim unfolded edge of roll, rounding it slightly like the base of a teacup.
4. Make the cup. Take a 7-by-4 1/2-inch rectangle of felted wool. Fold widthwise, right sides together. Sew short ends together with a 1/4-inch seam allowance to form a tube. Slide tube 1/2 inch down over top of the brown roll. Carefully turn the tube right side out. Secure at top with fabric glue. Trim bottom, if it is longer than the roll, and make a running stitch around the bottom of the tube. Pull the thread so the fabric gathers at the bottom. Secure in place with fabric glue.
5. Crank out cord on the "embellish-knit." Felt I-cording by putting it in a lingerie bag and washing it in hot, soapy water in the washing machine. You will need about 1 yard unfelted cord total. Glue a 5-inch piece of I-cord end to end, forming a circle; pin in place.
6. Create the base of the cup. Turn cup upside down. Glue I-cord circle to bottom of cup; pin in place.
7. Make handle. Fold a 10-inch length of I-cord in half lengthwise and sew together down the middle with a zigzag stitch. Sew a small loop at one end of double-wide strip of I-cord. Glue handle to cup and secure with pins.
8. Glue a 12-inch I-cord around a 3-inch felt circle to make a saucer. Glue saucer to bottom of cup.
9. To make the whipped cream dollop, take three felted 1 1/2-inch white circles. Fold one like a taco; when butted together, they look like a dollop. Attach to top of tea with a pin.
The "Embellish-Knit" used in the segment can be found at bond-america.com. The pins are from joann.com. We used fingering weight wool yarn to knit I-cord.

If it helps anyone, both parts of the video can be found here: http://www.marthastewart.com/show/teacup-pincushions .
The video will help a lot for this project! -
conlmack 5 Jan, 2011
Also, if you want the heart shapes and can't find the pins, make your own from foam sheets and a pin or attach a wire.
conlmack 5 Jan, 2011
I'm going to make this out of fleece scraps. I'm sure I've got the needed colors and will look just as good without all the hassle of finding and felting a sweater!
conlmack 5 Jan, 2011
Get the heart shaped pins at the dollar store or joann's in the notions.
clou6813 5 Jan, 2011
Where do you get the heart shaped stick pins
daisygirl27 5 Jan, 2011
What a great idea! These are so cute. I can't wait to make one for Valentine's Day!!
Moufaloof 1 Aug, 2010
Could you do it with felt?
cvera 1 Mar, 2010
these are just too cute. The video really helps the assembly look easier, Childrens sweaters would probably work better, because the patterns are already small! I'll bet a scarf would work too!

I love them and it's a great idea to use old sweaters. However, I have old yarn and no sweaters. Anybody know where I could find a similar pattern to use up old yarn and recycle it? TIA
lilyanna 16 Feb, 2009
What kind of fingering weight yarn is used and where can it be found?
cookiesgalore 15 Feb, 2009
oops! As usual it cut off. just go to her website and scroll down to the bottom.Click on the 2008 file and click on December. it will be under that with the title "Vintage Inspired Pin Cushions"

As children, we would hammer small nails into the top of a wooden cotton reel to make the same string as i-cord. A crochet hook is also useful to lift the stitches over one another. I'll be adding this to my teapot collection.
brockdiva 16 Jan, 2009
Instead of using i-cord you could use the seams that you cut off from your sweater. just cut close to the seam so that it looks even and it will give the i-cord effect and you will be recycling even more of your sweater.
poohknitz 20 Dec, 2008
If you don't want to buy or use the Embellish-Knit you can actually knit some i-cord. It is exactly the same thing. Look on knittinghelp.com to see how. If you don't know how to knit you will either have to learn or buy the gadget.
workingpearl 10 Oct, 2008
I bought the embellish-knit contraption and it is so difficult, I only succeded once and tried at least 150 other times. Anyone offer some help? Thanks
raebeth 1 Oct, 2008
To mpittman: the whole point ito felting an old sweater rather than knitting new pieces for this is to "reclaim" or "upcycle" things from being thrown into land fills.
SweetTeaGirl 9 Jun, 2008
Absolutely beautiful!
Freckld_Face 15 May, 2008
Oh boy! So clever!! I love them! :}
mpittman 26 Mar, 2008
This is just so insane hahaha. The video does clarify things a bit, but I think I will prefer to try to figure out to knit it from scratch and felt it. They are adorable. Where I live wool sweaters do not exist (due to 70 degree winters.)
islandfresh79 24 Feb, 2008
A friend of mine owns a very hip yarn shop here in town and these would be an enormous hit. These teacups are so cute.
plananelegantteaparty 20 Feb, 2008
I LOVE these1 I do not knit but I do sew. What a clever way of making a 'knitted' project without knitting! I have a tea party web site and a tea party catering service. I will make some of these cute pincushions for me and my customers.
Thank you! -
ariadnaquijano 18 Feb, 2008
Beautiful, yet it sounds infinitely hard. I would love to make it, but it just sounds too difficult!
CraftTestDummies 18 Feb, 2008
PS... Betz White's book is called "Warm Fuzzies" and her cupcake pincushions are featured in there. It's available on Amazon.com. Happy Crafting!
CraftTestDummies 18 Feb, 2008
Ok, these are as cute as Christmas, but it's really not fair. There should be alternate instructions for those of us who do not have, nor wish to buy, the embelllish-knit thingy. This seems like a very advance/specialized craft.
darlasdarlingdesigns 17 Feb, 2008
Does anyone know where I can find a pattern book on these? I want to make the cupcake ones. HELP!!!
darlasdarlingdesigns 17 Feb, 2008
I watched the video and she said to sew them together. Once you put it on the top of the cup you use a pin to attach it to the top.
Bwags 10 Feb, 2008
I am working on one of these. I am puzzled by the "dollop" instructions. Do you sew the 3 circles together? Glue them?? Help!!

I recently moved to the far west side of Madison. I lived near campus while I went to school here a few years back, but never much ventured beyond downtown.
I'm looking for suggestions on bars and taverns on the west side of Madison. Specifically, in either the Hilldale area or anywhere along Mineral Point, but other suggestions would be welcome as well.

NODAK Speedway Enduro Rules-Amended August 2012
1. Cars are checked for safety rules at the pit gate upon entering the race track. Readily visible rule violations may be
enforced before the race begins. However, time does not permit a top to bottom inspection of all cars before the race
begins. As quickly as possible following the race, the top 17 cars are brought to the front pit area and checked for rule
violations. Any car found not adhering to all rules will be disqualified and will forfeit all winnings. The 11th place car will then
move up in position. Each person is responsible for reading and following the rules. All rules will be enforced. No official
results will be available and no positions will be paid until the inspection of the cars is completed. Any questions on the rules
should be addressed to an official before the day of the race.
2. Street cars only. No trucks or SUVs are allowed. El Caminos are OK.
3. Seat belts and safety approved racing helmet is required. Shoulder harness is recommended, but not required. Fire
resistant clothing is required.
4. All glass, including mirrors, and exterior plastic must be removed from the car. Wire mesh may be installed in the
windshield area. All loose objects must be removed from the car.
5. Roll cage is optional. Cage is to be confined to the passenger area. No bars are allowed that go through the firewall
or into the trunk.
6. The wheelbase must be at least 105".
7. The interior of the car cannot be gutted. However, inner sheet metal of driver's door may be gutted to allow for hip
bars. Flammable material such as head and floor liner may be removed. Dash and seats must remain in place. The entire
front seat must remain intact. If bucket seats are standard, both must be there. The back seat must be removed, with a piece
of metal or aluminum must be installed between the back seat and trunk area to act as a firewall. Door panel may be
removed; however something such as light gauge aluminum must be installed in their place to cover sharp edges. If a 4-
point roll cage is used, only the driver's side bucket seat is required and a hip bar must be placed horizontally on the inside
of the right hand side of the car. Rub bars may be mounted on the outside of the driver's door, with a maximum of 1" thick.
Bar or combination of bars may not exceed 4" in width such as 1 grader blade. No angle iron or cutter bar allowed. Cars with
cages and racing seats are allowed additional gutting for bar placement.
8. No suspension altering is allowed. It has not been determined in which direction the cars will go around the track.
The direction may be reversed on a restart. No ballast allowed. No aftermarket parts allowed.
9. Only stock all steel wheels are allowed. Only tires designated for street use only can be used. The face of the tire
must be no wider than 8". Wheel wells may be cut out no more than 1 ½" larger than the tire radius. White spoke wheels are
the only aftermarket wheel allowed. Aftermarket 7" DOT street wheels are ok and must have 1" lug nut.
10. The doors and trunk must be chained or welded shut. No straps or any kind allowed. Hood pins are allowed. Welds
may be no more than 3" long and spaced at least 12" apart. Holes in the hood and trunk may be cut only to allow for chains.
Hood pins are allowed. One hole in the hood for ease of putting out fires is allowed, but it is to be no larger than 12" in
diameter. Nothing may stick out above the hood.
11. The front door on both sides and the roof must be painted one solid color and left blank to allow for a number to be
painted on. Do not put a number on your car until one is assigned to you. Numbers must be painted on both doors and the
roof. A 12" x 12" number plate attached to the roof is required.
12. All gas tanks must be moved into the trunk area. Any container that is used besides the stock gas tank must be
constructed of steel or safety approved. Auxiliary gas tanks used in station wagons must be located in the back of the car
and must be covered. All gas tanks must be securely mounted using steel straps of 1/8" by 2" steel strap, using minimum of
5/16" bolts with nuts and washers. Ratchet strap, chain or plumber strap is not acceptable. One hole, up to 6" in diameter, is
allowed in the trunk for a gas fill pipe. The pipe must be inside of the trunk area at least 3" below the trunk lid. Nothing may
extend past the trunk lid. The hole must be covered. A suggestion for a trunk cover would be a light piece of sheet metal
held on by one bolt, so that it may be swiveled when gas is being added. Bolt should be towards the front of the car.
13. Only one automotive battery is allowed per car. It must be securely mounted with steel strap to the floor of the car
and have the positive cable covered. Plastic battery boxes are allowed but must be bolted to the floor of the car.
14. The radiator must remain in the original position and must be operational. Wire mesh may be installed in front of the
radiator. An extra cooler may be used. It must be mounted inside the driver's compartment but far enough away from the
driver as to prevent injury. It is recommended that the mounting position is in the rear window. The radiator mounted in this
position must be mounted as low as possible in the rear window, and not to exceed 3" above the roof line, or it must be
moved inside the car. No racing radiators are allowed.
15. It is recommended that a chain is wrapped around the frame and the bumper, especially those cars with impact
bumpers, to help hold the bumper on.
16. No reinforcing, cutting apart, welding or modification if anything is allowed on the vehicle, except as specified. All
sharp edges must be rounded or covered by metal.
17. No radio communication is allowed, including cell phones. It is unfair to other contestants and interferes with official
18. This event is designated for street cars only. No high performance parts that were not stock on the vehicle are

19. No drivers of Hobby Stocks, Modifieds, Late Models, Sprints or Legends, or classes equal to those that have driven in
the last five years may compete. Bombers or similar class drivers are allowed. It is impossible for the officials to know every
race car driver; therefore the officials will rely on other drivers to help us enforce this rule. Driver protests must be filed at
least ½ hour before the race begins. Any protest must be made by another driver entered in the Enduro. After a protest is
filed, the management reserves the right to allow or disallow the driver in protest at its discretion.
20. The race promoter reserves the right following the race to claim any car entered in the Enduro for $500.
21. The entry fee is $100 per car. Only pre-entered cars will be guaranteed a starting position. It is to the driver's
advantage to submit the entry form and fee early. Sign in will begin 4 hours before race time and will end one hour before
the start of the race. Please try to be at the race track as early as possible to prevent any backup of cars signing in at the pit
gate. Anyone arriving late will be not allowed to race. If you arrive after the race has begun, you will not be allowed to race.
22. All drivers must be in the pit area at least 1½ hour before the race begins in order to park the cars on the track in
their starting position. After the race has been completed, you will have to remove your car from the track to the pits to allow
for track preparation for the next event. At Motor Magic no alcohol will be allowed in the pits after 3pm if NODAK races are to
be held that evening. Your pit entrance fee is entrance to Motor Magic (if applicable). Other fees may be charged and is the
driver's responsibility (such as State Fair gate entrance fee).
23. The race will consist of only 1 event. It will last 1 ½ hour or 150 laps, whichever is first. Weather conditions, other
acts of God, or mechanical failures in the scoring process may cause the race to be stopped early. The right to stop the race
is reserved by the promoter. The promoter may change the length of the event.
24. Each car must provide one person to count laps for the car. The lap counter must be checked in at the pit gate and in
his or her position in the lap counting area one hour before the start of the race. The lap counter must come through the pit
gate, not the grandstands, and should enter with the Enduro car and driver. Therefore, do not assign someone to do this job
who will not want to remain in the lap counter area and watch the entire race. This person will have the responsibility of
watching your car as it passes the flag stand and recording every lap. Please chose your lap counter ahead of time and have
them read the lap counting instructions. They will not need a pencil or paper, but should have some idea of what they are
expected to do. Also, be sure that they get there on time. If they are late we will not be responsible and it is your lap
counting that will not be done. Alcohol consumption by the lap counters will not be allowed during the race. Instructions, lap
counting sheets and pens/pencils will be given to the lap counters in the lap counting area prior to the race. All lap boards
and counting sheets must be turned into the officials at the end of the race.
25. Any areas not covered in the above rules shall be left up to the discretion of the promoter.
26. The promoter reserves the right to refuse entry to anyone.
1. All lap counters must check in at the pit gate and be in the lap counting area 1 hour before the start of the race.
2. Only 1 official lap counter per car will be allowed in the area designated for lap counting. No children, friends, etc will
be permitted in this area. Please make prior arrangements for child care as lap counters children will not be allowed in the
lap counting area.
3. Lap counters must turn in their lap board and scoring sheet to the officials immediately following the event. If the lap
board is not turned in on time, your results will not be official and your car will be disqualified.
4. Lap counters are responsible for recording times that their car passes the start/finish line. As soon as the green flag
signaling the beginning of the race is given, write down the each time your car passes between you and the flag stand on the
blank line next to #1, 2, etc. on the scoring sheet.
5. If the cars are not stopped for a red flag, continue writing every time your car passes the scoring line. If the flagman
stops the cars, write down the time whenever your car passes the scoring line (either as it is stopping or when the race is
started again). In other words, write down a time each time your car goes by the scoring line.
6. If your car goes into the pits and then comes back out on the track later in the race, write down the time the car passes
the clock on the next empty line. Do not skip any lines.
7. Official results will not be available until after all car inspections are made and the lap counting sheets have been
checked and scored.
8. Remember that everything the announcer says is approximately 5 minutes late, but it is also unofficial and he has
nothing to do with the actual finish of the race.
9. There will be no drinking allowed in the lap counting area or pits during the race. If your car is out of the race and you
do not think it will return to the race, and would like an alcoholic drink, please show respect for the others who are still lap
counting and move to a different seating area.

The attack happened shortly 2:40 p.m. outside of 64 Baruch Drive, which is inside the NYCHA-run Baruch Houses, a NYPD spokesman said.
Witnesses said the victim made his way to 950 E. 4th Walk, which is inside the Lillian Wald Houses. Emergency crews responded to a 911 call and took him to Mt. Sinai Medical Center, police said.
Police were investigating and there were no arrests by Friday evening.

Effective measurement of how many leads are turning into sales could help businesses improve the quality of their marketing, it has been claimed.
Apr 17 2009, 16:08 PM
Effective measurement of how many leads are turning into sales could help businesses improve the quality of their marketing, it has been claimed.
A study conducted by Eloqua highlights that 75 per cent of marketers think effective measurement would make their business more competitive.
However, just a third currently have such initiatives in place.
The study also revealed that half of those questioned have a marketing automation system up and running, while six per cent think lead generation is the most important component of their campaign.
"The results from our survey reinforce what many of today's business leaders understand - never before has it been more important for marketing organizations to invest in solutions that enable them to better understand and track their prospects," comments Brian Kardon, chief marketing officer at Eloqua.
Larry Goldman, a specialist in business intelligence and analytics, recently told BeyeNetwork.com that Sales lead management is becoming progressively important for businesses and they must focus on managing inward data such as inquiries, requests and other interactions.

I was sitting in the front row, next to Rodrigo from Brazil, on Monday night, as our class made an effort to complete the exercise of modelling fruit in NURBS, before we moved on to making a chair in Polygons. I felt a little more confident, after practicing my Primitive Man Online tutorial last weekend, and I looked forward to shading and texturing my wonky apple. But before I got to that moment there was a NURB banana skin, waiting for me to slip on.
For the second part of the Fruit Bowl exercise we modelled a banana, by drawing a pentagon shape in CV curves in the top view. We then duplicated the curves to a template and lofted through the vertical axis. Mark showed us how to fill the top end by attaching surfaces, and asked us to repeat the process on the bottom. Unfortunately, this is where my banana went pear shape, for as I created the new surfaces in perspective view, like a monkey I had not positioned them in the correct axis. So when I lofted the new surfaces to make the cap they were all squashed together flat, and as I'd already deleted history by type there was no going back, and that scene was trashed.
BanaNurb slip up!
But in order to keep up with the class I took Mark's scene from the Shares folder on the server, and pressed on. Once we had put the bend into the Banana with the Non linear bend deformer, we moved on to texturing our apples. Now I had Mark's apple model it looked decidedly professional, and he showed us how to add Procedural textures with the Hypershade, using the Ramp for colour and Fractal for texture, which created a fruit that looked so edible it gave me a warm feeling in my belly. Success and progress of sorts!
Playing musical chairs on Thursday, I returned to the back row and sat next to my pal Kris, a games artist who's learning Maya to give him more scope for his creativity, and we began making a chair using polygons. In this exercise, Mark stressed the importance of proper modelling practice and showed us how to use polygons to create a basic shape then use Extrude to make details.
We made a quarter of the chair then moved the pivot to the centre of the grid, duplicated that quarter, scaled it in the negative Z axis to invert to the other side, combined the two objects and joined the vertices' to make half a chair, before repeating the process to make a whole chair. At one point, I fell behind because I had forgotten to delete a surface, so could not then join the objects, but Mark who is extremely patient with my ineptitude was there to fix my furniture problems.
At one point grumbling and cursing, I said exasperatedly to myself that I would never understand this program, but my neighbour Alan reassured it was like driving; once you know how to drive, you cannot remember how not to drive! He's an old school model maker and all round top bloke who currently uses Modo at home to make Space ships. But he needs to learn Maya for his job as fewer models are now commissioned, as more work is made digitally. He says the harsh reality is to evolve or die.
Feeling lifted by my chair success I feel I'm doing slightly better, and with the support and encouragement of my tutor and classmates, I'm rocking along. But for me to be top banana and get positive results from this course, it will eventually come down to putting in the hours of practice at home.
But for my low poly chair I feel I'm flying by the seat of my pants!
Low Poly chair, Chippendale would be proud....

"Touch But Don't Look" is an astonishingly good electronic album by current The Mars Volta drummer Deantoni Parks (whom I really didn't like too much on their otherwise excellent latest album). This one is an intriguing solo debut, however. Tracks like "Make My Day," "Dickie Newman" and "Best Day of My Life" are spectacular. Since Parks is a drummer, "Touch But Don't Look" is a very percussive album. His intricate drumming is accompanied by droning and buzzing synthesizers, creating weird, yet danceable music. The quirky "Let's Go Hazy" has a nice curiosity flair, while "Dead Confederate" contrasts a glockenspiel lullaby melody with a hard drum rhythm and deep, droning synth bass (making it almost reminiscent of D.A.F.'s "Der Räuber und der Prinz"). "Dancin' Like a Feather" closes the album, featuring Betty Black on vocals. Synths, live drums and programmed drums are all it takes Parks to deliver a fascinating solo album.

In China, high-flyers stay on track
PUBLISHED: 15 Jun 2012 00:05:41 | UPDATED: 15 Jun 2012 03:43:57PUBLISHED: 15 Jun 2012 PRINT EDITION: 15 Jun 2012Angus Grigg
On his recent visit to China, Bob Carr was photographed taking the fast train from Shanghai to Beijing. For the history-minded Foreign Minister, the idea of riding the railways like a statesman of old would have appealed.
But to me Carr looked more tourist than statesman, as we all know serious people catch planes.
Or do they? Perhaps being from Sydney distorts my view because train travel is more about endurance than speed in the Harbour City – Carr might like trains, but he didn't build any as NSW premier.
And so, as a new arrival in China, I set about challenging my prejudice and discovering if it was faster to fly or take the train from Shanghai to Beijing.
The clock was set at six hours. That took into account taxis, waiting at the airport, flying time, inevitable delays and that general paranoia which makes us all needlessly add an extra half hour.
It would be a tight contest. My taxi for HongQiao Railway Station arrived at 10:10am. The station, a Parthenon of cut stone and clean lines, is architecturally striking but sits adjacent to the city's domestic airport, so there would be no time saved on my first leg.
But from taxi to train took just seven minutes and by 10:50am I was in window seat 5F of a first-class carriage. The train itself was a triumph of function over style, meaning it was clean and offered plenty of leg room, a power point and even a free glass of orange juice.
My neighbour in 5D, a petro-chemical executive from Shanghai, was heading to the old southern capital of Nanjing and said the train was two hours quicker than driving.
I took that as an early victory for rail. At 10:58am "Harmony" left the platform and within minutes had effortlessly reached 302km/h.
Harmony actually has more in her. She's capable of speeds beyond 350km/h. Not today, however. After a derailment in Wenzhou last year which killed 32 people, the government cut speeds across the network while a safety review was conducted.
This would be my main obstacle to beating the plane. The lower speed would add at least an hour to my journey, but with a first-class seat and a suspiciously tasty pork lunch in my belly, who was counting? Not me, as I watched wheat crops and rice paddies pass my window, while taking phone calls and sending emails.
That was until curiosity took me into the next carriage. This was the real first class. The seats had walnut trim, reclined to flat beds and hostesses were giving away slippers.
Strangely, it was called "business class". Yes, in Communist China business class ranks ahead of first class as far as the state-owned railways are concerned. The clock was ticking. At 3:55pm Harmony approached Beijing South Station. My travel time was approaching the magical six-hour mark. It would come down to the taxi ride. The Beijing traffic was against me, however, and at the 6½ hour mark I arrived at the hotel.
The train had lost. Or so I thought. Not for the first time in my life, someone far smarter than me was questioning my maths. It was Richard Goyder, chief executive of Wesfarmers, a man known for his ability to add and assess risk. And he had a supporting crew in his chairman Bob Every and former West Australian premier Alan Carpenter. The trio, who had travelled my route the previous day (I suspect they were in business class), assured me the train was quicker. Frequent delays at Shanghai and Beijing airport, they said, made the train not only more pleasant but more efficient.
My return journey would settle the matter. Total travel time for the plane had to beat 6½ hours. For me that meant arriving home in Shanghai before 10:30pm. The trip to the airport was a breezy 40 minutes and the check-in queue was two deep, but then the evening's first delay hit. The China Eastern flight was running 40 minutes late. At the gate a German man was yelling at three desk staff and they were handing out free dinners – suspiciously tasty fish. It didn't look good.
An hour later, as the thunderstorm set in, the German was joined by 30 yelling partners. Then they started handing out cash. It didn't look good. More than four hours after leaving the hotel we still hadn't boarded. It was victory to the train and statesman Carr.

Charles Hilson, stage name "Coach", is one of many people in the world who has experienced hard times in life. Growing up in a poverty stricken home in Niagara Falls, NY, "Coach" has witnessed and been a part of troubling times. At an early age he witnessed his members of his family smoking crack cocaine, and survived a kidnapping from his dad when he was just a child. At the time "Coach" was too young to understand the things that were taking place in his life, but as he got older, he started to realize all that had taken place during his childhood. "Coach" started to write out his emotions in raps and realized that he had a talent for rapping. He then joined a local rap group called "Hot Spitters" when he was 16. As time progressed "Coach" started to stand out as an artist, and decided to become a solo artist when he was 20. Focusing hard on exposing his talents as a solo artist, "Coach" put out a YouTube video of one of his first songs titled "Put this big boy in your life". His video reached 5,836 views and "Coach" began to receive recognition from the people of his community. With the hype of the video, Charles felt it was time to release his self-titled CD simply called "COACH". After the CD release, people in Niagara County wanted to hear more of his music. "Coach" has had songs played on the radio, interviewed on the radio, and performances in local venues. He has taken over the hearts of many in the city of Niagara Falls and surrounding areas. Charles continues to grow as an artist and his music is recognized by pro basketball player Jonny Flynn, and has been getting a buzz throughout the underground music scene. He is dropping another Mixtape titled "CBS" (Chubby Boy Swagg), and has released his new single "Morgan Freeman" on itunes. "Coach" and his manager Theodore "Stretch" Travis, are continuously working hard in order to make his dream of being a signed hip-hop artist, a reality.

Translate this page Gang member to stand trial for alleged 'hate motivated" murderFriday, December 28th, 2012 Issue 52, Volume 16.
Ade Jesse Warren, 19, could face life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted in the Sept. 8, 2011, death of 29-year-old Fernando Villarino. Following a three-hour preliminary hearing at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta, Riverside County Superior Court Judge John Davis found there was sufficient evidence to bound Warren over for trial. In addition to the murder count, the defendant is charged with gang activity and a special circumstance allegation of killing for the benefit of a gang, as well as sentence-enhancing gun and great bodily injury allegations. Davis set a post-preliminary hearing arraignment for Jan. 11 and left Warren's bail set at $1 million. He's being held at the Southwest Detention Center. According to Deputy District Attorney Tim Cross, Villarino was among a group of men allegedly targeted by the defendant in the 400 block of Santa Rosa Street. Warren and fellow members of the L Squad had mistakenly assumed that the victim and his friends were members of the rival San Ja gang and went after them, the prosecutor said. He said that on the day of the alleged attack, witnesses reported "numerous" instances in which L Squad associates had randomly engaged in verbal altercations with Hispanic males along the Advertisement "There's evidence that the rivalry between L Squad and San Ja -- the first is all black, the second all Hispanic -- goes back several years," Cross told City News Service. "It's gotten to where ethnicity is the only thing each side considers. If you're Hispanic, you're labeled a San Ja by the L Squad people. And if you're African-American, the San Ja members identify you with L Squad." He said innocent people with no affiliations have been victimized in the gang-related violence. Villarino was one of them, according to Cross. The prosecutor alleged that Warren confronted the victim and at least three other men on the street after dark, pulling a handgun and opening fire without provocation, striking Villarino in the head and arm. He died at the scene. "I do believe this was a hate-motivated as well as a gang-motivated crime," Cross said. "It was all because of the racial violence occurring between the two gangs." Warren fled the area but was immediately identified by sheriff's investigators based on one distinct feature -- a blonde streak in his hair -- that all the witnesses spotted and with which anti-gang personnel were familiar, according to Cross. For nearly eight months, the defendant eluded capture but was finally located in Rancho Cucamonga, where he was arrested without incident. He has prior convictions from when he was a juvenile, though none of that information was publicly available. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

Collections Policies provide details on how to best make use of our collections by detailing how to obtain and use our data, how to request loans of physical specimens, and how to proceed with a request for frozen tissue samples.
Specimen Data Policy
The catalog data for the specimens in the collection are available in an electronic database. Although some collection data are not available online, you can access an inventory of the holdings via HerpNet2/VertNet. Electronic or hardcopy reports of collection data are available to qualified professional and student researchers. Reports can be generated based on taxonomic or geographic categories. Requests for data on specimens in the collection can be made by e-mailing our collections staff.
Acquiring a Loan
Specimens in the collection are available for loan upon approval by the Curator-in-Charge, Dr. Rafe Brown. Specimens may be loaned to qualified, recognized professionals or their students, at the discretion of the Curator-in-Charge, for a period of 6 months. Graduate and undergraduate students requesting specimens on loan must submit a letter of request co-signed by their advisor. Loans are institutional; thus, the borrower's institution assumes full and complete responsibility for the material on loan, and agrees to all conditions specimens for the handling and storage of borrowed specimens. In the case of students, loans are made to their adviser through his/her institution. The criteria considered in granting a loan request include, but are not limited to, the number of specimens in the request, specimens that are requested, the condition of the specimens, the borrower's plans for to do with the specimens, the project design, the previous loan record of the borrower, the location of the borrower, and priority use of the material by another researcher. In some cases, it may be preferable for a researcher to visit Herpetology instead of borrowing specimens.
Destructive Sampling Policy
Techniques for extracting usable DNA from formalin-preserved specimens have advanced to the point that samples from destructive sampling of specimens are increasingly included in systematic studies. KU Herpetology operates under the general philosophy such that destructive sampling should occur only when non-destructive options have been exhausted or do not exist. Requests for such grants from the KU collection will be subject to the criteria listed for standard tissue requests, but will also take into account the following factors. Because destructive sampling requires irreparable damage to the specimen, only small requests will be considered. Destructive sampling should not be considered an alternative to collecting fresh material. Specimens to be destructively sampled should be unobtainable by conventional methods, and usually, sampling will done by Division personnel.
Tissue "Loan" (Gift) Policy
Tissue policy rationale
KU collections are part of a global network of institutions that house and curate biodiversity data and biological resources. In this capacity, we must conserve this material for the future. Destructively sampled tissues for DNA extraction in molecular studies are the limiting resource in almost all modern phylogenetic studies. Most tissues at KU have been obtained in the field by KU researchers. Because these tissues are not an unlimited resource, permission for destructive sampling will only be considered if it involves well-qualified investigators conducting well-conceived and properly justified studies.
Basic principles of our tissue policy
1. KU Herpetology will grant tissue loans/gifts only for well-founded and well-justified scientific applications.
2. KU Herpetology expects users of our genetic resources to be contributors to collections of genetic resources. KU preferentially provides access to researchers who contribute to collections worldwide.
3. Because genetic samples are used in a different manner than traditional museum specimens, a different set of criteria applies to loan requests. In general, we support high-quality research proposals from investigators seeking samples to supplement their own collecting efforts. Samples are loaned to specific investigators only for specific projects. Samples, including their derivatives, cannot be transferred to other researchers without permission from KU Herpetology. If project plans change significantly, approval for modified uses of KU tissues must be obtained from our staff.
Standard tissue "loans"
1. Tissues are provided as a gift from the KU Herpetology Tissue Collection. They are subsamples and, as such, no tissue remnants or derivatives are to be returned. In rare cases (i.e., extremely rare taxa or small tissue remnants), KU reserves the rights to request the return of extracted genomic DNA after researchers have completed their project.
2. Tissues are sent in 95% ethanol or RNALater unless otherwise noted on the invoice or unless otherwise requested by the researcher.
3. One copy of the loan invoice is included with the tissues as a packing slip. An additional copy of the invoice will be sent via email. Please print, sign, and return a copy of this invoice to acknowledge safe receipt of tissues.
4. Tissues are for research use only and for the express purpose outlined in the tissue request. No tissues or product may be exchanged, loaned or re-gifted to a third party or cataloged into any collection without the express permission of KU Herpetology. No tissue or product may be used for commercial purposes or for financial gain of any kind.
5. All published sequences generated from tissues must to be registered with GenBank and KU catalog numbers from corresponding voucher specimens must be submitted to GenBank as the official voucher corresponding to gene sequences.
6. Genbank accession numbers must also be reported directly to KU Herpetology for inclusion in the KU Herpetology database. The "loan" is considered "closed" or "returned" when KU receives this information from the researcher. Unpublished sequences deposited with Genbank should be registered and reported in the same way. Please note the failure to report this information to KU Herpetology may adversely affect the ability the researcher, his/her collaborators, and advisor(s) to secure future loans from KU.
7. If, after 5 years, the researcher has not submitted gene sequences to GenBank and returned GenBank accession numbers to KU Herpetology, KU reserves the right to obtain sequences from the researcher and submit the data to GenBank on his/her behalf.
8. A copy of any publication citing KU tissue sequences must be submitted to the KU Herpetology Library, care of the curators. A digital version of the publication in PDF format would fulfill this obligation.
Tissue Requests
Tissue request proposals usually involve two steps: First, researchers should examine the specimen holdings on the KU database at HerpNet2/VertNet. Because the "prep status" field on these search engines is not always up to date, inquiries as to whether corresponding tissue samples are available can be directed to collections staff. Second, once it has been established that KU holds tissues of interest, specific samples are requested in writing on institutional letterhead from the Curator-in-Charge. Graduate students are required to submit a letter co-signed by their advisor, who will assume responsibility for use of the samples. If the tissue request is approved, subsequent communication will be handled via email with curatorial staff. A tissue request must provide the following information:
1. A brief outline of the goals, methods, and time frame of the project.
2. Justification for the use of the samples. What is the scientific merit of the proposed study?
3. A list of the KU specimens by taxon and catalog number.
4. The total number of tissues to be used in the project, in addition to KU's contribution. Please specify the non-KU number of tissues per taxon that will be included in the study.
5. A statement of reciprocal benefit (can include contributions to other, non-KU collections).
6. Indicate how you prefer your shipment to be sent and provide the full mailing address and telephone number.
7. A statement indicating agreement to the KU Loan/Gift policy (below) and an estimated time frame for submission of sequence data to GenBank.
A committee that consists of KU Herpetology curators and curatorial staff will evaluate the tissue request. If the requested tissues have been donated to the collection by a non-KU researcher who wishes to be involved in the granting decision, we will obtain his/her opinion. Questions about the KU's tissue-use policy should be directed to the curators. Key considerations in decisions regarding tissue grants are as follow:
A. Scientific merit: Samples will be provided only to investigators who demonstrate clearly and convincingly the scientific merit of the proposed work. Among the factors that will be considered are (1) the degree to which the questions being investigated are scientifically compelling; (2) completeness of taxon sampling already obtained by requester; (3) character sampling; and (4) the investigator's track record of research and timely publication.
B. Collecting effort: Priority will be given to researchers seeking key samples to augment the results of their own collecting efforts. In the case of students, the collecting activities of the advisor or institution will be considered. Unvouchered samples have little scientific utility, and indeed conclusions based on such samples often are best considered speculation, rather than scientific results. Assessment of the collecting activities of investigators and institutions regarding a particular study thus will take into account the limited scientific utility of unvouchered samples.
C. Number of samples: Requests for a limited number of samples to be included in a larger project are more likely to be approved than requests for large portions of the project's sampling. If KU samples will constitute a large proportion of the sampling, then collaborative arrangements or some sort of in-kind support for Division activities should be proposed. KU Herpetology will not provide the majority of sampling needed to complete a phylogenetic study.
D. Conflict with existing projects: Sample requests that conflict with KU projects already planned or underway are unlikely to be approved. In such cases, collaborations may be explored, or projects (either KU or the proposed projects) can be altered to minimize conflict, character overlap, or taxonomic overlap.
E. Rarity of samples: Requests for rare or difficult-to-acquire samples may require extra justification. Such samples should be integral to the project design and not just included because they are novel.
F. Former relationship with KU Herpetology and record reciprocity in the network of institutional collections of biological resources: The requester's past relationship with KU Herpetology will be considered when loan requests are reviewed by our curatorial staff. If an individual lacking a past relationship with KU requests tissue samples, an explicit statement of the reciprocal benefits to KU and/or the global network of biodiversity collections will strengthen their request.
G. USDA and USF&WS regulations will govern tissue distribution: KU Herpetology operates in strict accordance with all relevant laws, rules, and regulations. No exceptions to these legal restrictions will be allowed.

LOVE THESE! No wonder they're a best seller on CCB-PAris.com! But I'm definatly going to invest in another pack; my hair is super thick! Try is w/ the Tonic Curl Styling Mousse for picture-perfect curls!
these rollers are great, very cute and also functionable! I had to get two packs, and they just roll my whole head of hair-perfect! You get two different sizes. They're easy to clip, and long enough so that the ends of your hair don't stick out like with some others.(My hair is to my collarbone, I don't know about very long hair.) I got these discounted with one of CCB's never ending promotions, which was a bonus :)

Academy Awards
2002: Best Picture
Chicago, produced by Martin Richards
- Gangs of New York, produced by Alberto Grimaldi and Harvey Weinstein
- The Hours, produced by Scott Rudin and Robert Fox
- The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, produced by Barrie M. Osborne, Fran Walsh, and Peter Jackson
- The Pianist, produced by Roman Polanski, Robert Benmussa, and Alain Sarde
Taking a page from Cabaret (1972; AA) and All That Jazz (1979; AAN), both directed by Bob Fosse (AA), and like Moulin Rouge (2001; AAN) before it, Chicago helped make the musical a viable genre in the 21st century. The original play of that name was based on a 1920s newspaper article about a contemporary murder. Twice before, in 1927 for a silent movie and in 1942 as Roxie Hart, it had been adapted for the screen. In 1975 it was adapted for the musical stage by Fosse, with the help of the remarkably inventive and long-lasting musical team John Kander and Fred Ebb. As reconceived for film by choreographer and director Rob Marshall (AAN), the musical took on new life. Its inconsequential, lurid narrative of the seamy side of the Roaring Twenties was propelled by fantasy song-and-dance numbers that were masterfully intercut by editor Martin Walsh (AA). The revelation of the hitherto unknown musical abilities of many of the actors—notably Richard Gere as lawyer Billy Flynn, John C. Reilly (AAN) as the hapless husband Amos Hart, and especially Catherine Zeta-Jones (AA) as Velma Kelly—was an added bonus for viewers. The film was nominated for 13 Academy Awards and won 6.*
Chicago, produced by Martin Richards, directed and choreographed by Rob Marshall, screenplay by Bill Condon, adapted from the play of the same name (produced 1926) by Maurine Dallas Watkins, with music by composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb.

13 Creative Ways With Patterned Wallpaper
Treat your walls to captivating splashes of color or texture, for rooms that shut the door on boring
The designs don't have to be strictly modern; traditional and classical wallpapers can be applied in a new way. Call it tradition with a twist. But bold use of patterned wall coverings does require skill and confidence. Here I've assembled some examples that capture the trends I'm seeing in residential design to inspire your own creative use of wall coverings.
More: How to get started with wallpaper
Wallpaper works in about any setting if its the right paper. Too much dry wall equates to flat space with no "body".
Kudos to you for your inventiveness! That's what I'm looking for from the design world. Something creative. I totally agree you have to have your own "identity, signature, style". That's probably why I would like to see more than a rehash of a recent decade.
I do love wallpaper and have papered many places I have lived and like many of the ideas put forth here...man alive I wouldn't want to be putting that wall paper on that ceiling!! LOL
I still wouldn't want to be putting it on the ceiling even with scaffolding!! I'll leave it to you...how about we trade? I'll take it off you put it on?? LOL
Smoore - you are absolutely right! It is a nightmare trying to remove wallpaper applied directly to drywall. Might as well just demolish and start over. (Degalisto likes demolishing...might would help with that.) Also, never ever ever paint over wallpaper that isn't designed for paint. Once that starts peeling and the seams start cracking you have an ugly painful mess. OH, and for heaven's sake, don't try to glue the edges down with Elmer's or super glue or anything like that.
Wallpaper is a lovely product but does have to handled correctly or you will wish you'd never heard of it.
Be careful about prepping drywall for paper..You have to use a real primer.
Do not use PVA it isn't a good base.
Can you explain this further?!
I love this series of articles about using patterns!
One amazing way to use a wallpaper, is sticking it just to the upper quarter of your room, leaving the wall below in a neutral shade. Matching your upholstery and room accessories with your patterned wall paper can be a great thing to do.
It would also be great to frame your scrap wall paper snippets, as these make great artwork.
Other interesting uses could be on staircase risers and chested drawers. Attaching illustrations :)
Simran Chhibber for Thos.Baker
Case in point: Andy Warhol. Do I think his painting a soup can makes him a great painter? Not really. But it was sheer genius for him to take the mundane and create something important. Home décor does not typically rise to the level of great art but I hate to see repetitive not derivative work hailed as "fresh and new" when they are so obviously not.
There were too many more to display here but I am so glad to know about these. It helps to rekindle my faith.
I'm currently implementing a project with just a banding of wallpaper.
I don't either but am fighting a losing battle in my family. I don't have antlers or deer heads in my house but probably will have to deal with stuffed ducks (only one and only in my husband's office). My husband's entire (men and women) family hunts, as do my husband and my son. I console myself that they eat all the meat. Thankfully they are not trophy hunters as that would be grounds for divorce. Nonetheless, this is a contentious subject that I have been dealing with for 40 years.
You are right, lighting makes a HUGE difference. In fact, sometimes it makes all the difference and can save up to thousands in refurnishing/remodeling. I just don't have any talent when it comes to lighting and have made countless errors because of it.
Point taken. What explains the errors if no alcohol is involved? ;) I"m not so good at math (geometry) and really don't want (can't) deal with ladders. I had a room wallpapered by a professional. He even measured and told me how much paper to order (he had all the specs for the paper). By the tail end of the job, he was out of paper (it amounted to about a square foot). After sifting through the remnants on the floor, he was able to complete the job and I defy anyone to find where he pieced the paper together. I could not have been able to save that job even if I had never in my life had even whiffed alcohol, let alone another double-roll of paper. I can't thank you and your mother enough for your expertise! I would be lost with out y'all!
When I was in 4th grade, we were living in a rental house and my bedroom had wallpaper with rainbow hearts in a diagonal pattern on every wall. It kept me up at night because my eyes would follow the pattern of hearts over and over again. So I appreciate the tip to put the wallpaper on the wall BEHIND your bed. :)
My grandmother was a wallpaper goddess - both installing and removing. Nearly every room in her home had wallpaper with perfectly matched seams, even on the light switches and outlets. She even used wallpaper as shelf liner. My mom and grandfather just spent hours removing that shelf liner wallpaper. The house has been sold now. I'm sure the new owners are going to have fun removing all of it!
Wallpapering the ceiling looks quite striking in the right spaces and done right but can you imagine the challenge ( and or cost) of taking it off? Sore neck if you're not paying someone!
Does anyone know a really, really good way to remove the paper? We still have one long wall in the dining area (looks like a watered-down Monet) and one wall in the master bedroom. Ya! I know! 17 years we've lived with this! We used scoring and gel remover before but it was not effective. Lots of material in this home was done with cheap items. Re: Wal*Mart paint, plastic molding, etc. Someone out there must have had the same experience I have had and still have!
Must have had left-over wallpaper!
UGH those surprising cans of worms with old houses...OH NO..Not another thing on our "scroll" forget list of things to do! I feel for ya! I am moving from a gigantic can of worms! LOL
Amazing article! We love wallpapers. Check out our designs: http://pixersize.com/wallmurals/search/wallpapers#/tab-inspirations

This cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the association between consanguineous marriages and adverse pregnancy outcome in the north of Jordan. Women delivered in four major hospitals in the north of Jordan between April 2007 and May 2007 were included in the study. Non-Jordanian women and women with multiple pregnancies were excluded. Mothers answered a pilot-tested structured questionnaire administered by trained personnel in the maternity ward. Data regarding pregnancy outcomes were obtained from the patients' individual records. A total of 3,269 women with a mean age of 27.2 (SD 6.6) years were included. About 49% of women had consanguineous marriages. Consanguineous marriages were significantly associated with low birth weight delivery (13.9% vs. 10.1%), preterm delivery (19.9% vs. 12.3%), and births with congenital anomalies (4.1% vs. 0.8%) compared with non-consanguineous marriages. In the multivariate analysis, consanguinity was significantly associated with preterm delivery (OR = 1.5, 95% CI 1.2, 1.9), and congenital malformations (OR = 6.5, 95% CI 2.8, 15.3). In conclusions, this study supports the association between consanguinity and some adverse pregnancy outcomes.

"Fantastic software! Works on Mac OS X 10.0 you said"
So many graphic types convertible without loss of quality!
This page doesn't download 4.9.3 as it says. If people want the new version that is easy, those of us who keep old computers working should be able to access 4.9.3 as advertised or are you false advertising?
Lempke is an angel, the software is heaven itself! Download.CNET is a fantastically useful function - please make version 4.9.3 available or stop listing this page (and a dozen other versions that you don't provide) at the top of google. Make it easy for me to get version 4.9.3 please. Thank you!

See http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/download/download-old-versions/ and the oldest version listed is 5.9.5. That was the last version I was using on OSX 10.3. It didn't work with OSX 10.6-10.8, so I upgraded.
How OLD is your OS? Too many sites don't work with versions older than 10.3, much less anything older than that.
