Space is limited....secure your spot now! Go Topless Day Pre - Registration |
I'm so friggin pissed. Second year in a row that I can't go. I have school every other saturday, and two years running this falls on a school day. Can't miss it either, or I could end up failing, and it's my last class.
I'm there!
I just registered - is anyone else going to this?
See you there!
i will be there for sure !!
So what's the deal, anyone going to this event this weekend?
If I were on the east coast I would go. As it is, I will be doing my own event here in Chicago :)
Anybody have something going on in north Alabama around the Huntsville area?
I know of at least 3 jeeps (maybe a couple more) including myself that are meeting at the Gengras Jeep dealership in hartford at 8am to caravan down. Plus a ton from the local club are meeting up there. Im just hoping to finish up the LJ tonight so its ready!
hummm.... I may need to make plans...
JP, I would like to see the new LJ and what you have done to it so far. I plan on taking off from Boston around 9 if I can get my :bottom: out of bed. What time do you guys plan on arriving?
does anyone know if there is an event in the south florida area? (broward or palmbeach county, or anywhere north of there) This is my first Jeep, and my first vehicle as well, and I wanna go and meet other Jeep people!
Sorry, don't know of any events down there.
For what it's worth, I grew up in Plantation. |
Too bad the forecast for Saturday is rain - not ideal for a topless event.
I am in Coral Springs... not too far from Plantation |
Percipitation 50%. They have been saying chance of rain everyday this week. All in all everyday has been great will a few dark clouds for maybe 1/2 hr. I will take my chances.
Here are a couple of links to get you started. Mid Florida Jeep Club Orlando Jeep Club - Central Florida Club for Jeep Owners Ocala Jeep Club of Florida Maybe if you check their forums you can find a club that is having an event. Joining a club will offer all sorts of benefits anyway. Friends to wheel with, folks that will help you turn a wrench and give you a hard time when you break stuff. I think that the best thing about my Jeep is the friends I have made because of it. |
But odds are I will be parked with the Northeast Jeep crowd and you cant miss my obnoxious stinger. |
Look for the Bruins plates
I secure my spot yesterday. I'll see you all there on Saturday!!
Can't wait for tomorrow! Cross your fingures for nice weather.
I agree! we should try and organize and wrangler forum meet and greet
Just look for the LJ with the noxious front stinger bumper and say Hi! :wavey:
Go topless day
Is there anyone making the trip up from South eastern CT??? i plan on attending but it'd be cool to meet some people along the way
This is the thread from last years event. This year it is actually being held in southern NH.
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 11:53 AM. |

The new owners at Pizza Lino on Singer Island are great! Very professional and extremely friendly, with great tasting pizza at that! It is so nice to have a local pizza restaurant with owners who really care!
Posted by hungry mate on 04/07/2014
New owners, but pizza is the best on the island, and anywhere in west palm beach. They make it to your liking. Mostly thin crust, ots of cheese and excellent sauce. Highly recommended.
Posted by Scott M. on 02/05/2014
This place has one of the best Pizzas and fast delivery!! The owner is so nice and the pizza is made right in front of you. Awesome service, great taste, and nice atmosphere. Good job... Keep it up!
Posted by Mike on 01/19/2014
Lets face it. Florida is not a mecca for pizza. Ingredients are fresh. I've lived in the palm beach area for ten years and this is the best we've found!

I have never had anything but excellent food from Pizza Lino I cant stand cardboard from chain pizza joints. This pizza is always fresh and delicious.

Not only that, he was healing as if he just came out of a regular battle just like the crew. He also lay to wonder what's going to happen now that he knows Melody is the Sky Plate Medium, as Jozack stated. What he could remember is that Jozack stole the Sky Plate from a nearby laboratory and sealed it inside Melody to hide it. It was only recently that he needed it back, which he didn't get. Now that the Sky Plate is no longer under custody, it's out for anyone to collect for reward money.

50 Coffees #37 – Brent Toderian
37 weeks ago I read a theory that going for 50 coffees with people you've never met is the entrepreneur's equivalent to the theory that doing anything for 10,000 hours will make you an expert on it. While I get the idea, 50 coffees is far easier than practicing something for ten years, and while I'm far from lazy I decided to set out on a fairly simple mission: over 50 weeks I'm inviting 50 interesting Vancouverites, most of whom I have never met before, to go for coffee. I'm using this as an exercise in networking for myself and for V.I.A. while also using it as a platform to introduce you to some people who are doing really cool stuff in the city you live in.
Meet Brent Toderian. Former Chief Planner for the City of Vancouver, current proprietor of Toderian Urban Works, he has influenced and implemented policy at City Hall for years and is now working as a consultant. Like my last 50 Coffees subject, Yuri Artibise (who sat in the exact same chair where he's pictured below), Brent is the dictionary definition of the word "urbanist": He's "A specialist in the study and planning of cities" and from what I see, and what he tells me, I think he's done a damned good job of it.
I introduced you to him last week when I shared THIS photo that he shot along with his thoughts on The Village on False Creek being not just balanced, but a remarkable community. He went into greater detail about the international awards that it continues to win month after month and I recommend you look back on it HERE. I also quoted him in my recent POST about the future of the viaducts and his opinion that they should come down.
And while I may have quoted him twice since we went to coffee I haven't quite yet exhausted the trove of inspiration he left me with after we parted ways from Terra Breads. One opinion he shared, which I fully agree with, concerns The Village on False Creek where we met, where that Terra Breads operates, and where I obviously now live. He said that "Once fully complete, the new square and seawall may arguably be the best public space in the city", By "fully complete" he meant once the Urban Fare, the London Drugs and the Tap + Barrel restaurant open up, those being what may be the final pieces to really bring the area to life. It's been 4 weeks since I moved in to this place and after the first day it was obvious that this new neighbourhood, to me, and to my neighbours, is incredibly well planned. Follow my In The Village On False Creek series over the coming months as I bring you more.
And rest assured that you haven't seen the last of Mr Toderian on our blog – he's now one of my top go-to urbanists!

Upcoming Event
Time: 7:30 am - 10:00 am
Place: Hilton San Francisco Union Square - Grand Ballroom B
$40 million CIRM grant lands Stanford at intersection of stem cells and genomics
California's stem cell research funding agency doled out $40 million Wednesday to Stanford University to lead a center bridging genomic and stem cell research.
The Center of Excellence in Stem Cell Genomics also would be led by the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego and include the University of California, Santa Cruz, UC San Diego, the Scripps Research Institute, the J. Craig Venter Institute and Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN), according to the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
The five-year grant is the largest research award in the history of San Francisco-based CIRM, which was created after California voters in 2004 approved the sale of $3 billion to fund stem cell research.
Researchers will peer into the genetic makeup of a cell or organism — the definition of genomics — to get a better look at disease processes in cancer, diabetes, heart disease and mental health.
"Bringing together this team to do this kind of work means we will be better able to understand how stem cells change as they grow and become different kinds of cells," CIRM President Alan Trounson said in a press release.
The award was not without controversy, as the California Stem Cell Report blog and the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Competitors, including UCSF, said the grant review process was unfair, showed preferential treatment and included manipulated scientific scores.
Pui-Yan Kwok of UCSF, who led a bid that included UC Berkeley, sent a letter to CIRM's oversight board last week in which he complained that Stanford's scientific score was improved, according to the California Stem Cell Report.
The CIRM board added $7 million to the Stanford award, the blog said, that could be applied to institutions that did not win funding.

Freddie Wong | |
Wong in 2012 | |
Date of birth | September 13, 1985 |
Hometown | Seattle, Washington |
Nationality | United States |
Freddie Wong (born September 13, 1985)[1] is an American filmmaker, musician, VFX artist and competitive gamer. He is a major part in popular YouTube channel RocketJump. He is the older brother of actor and YouTuber Jimmy Wong.[2][3]
Wong attended Lakeside School in Seattle, Washington.[4] He then attended and graduated from the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts.[4] Wong owns and manages Overcrank Media, a Los Angeles based media production company specializing in feature film and online video content, having produced an independent film titled Bear. Wong met his future collaborator Brandon Laatsch in college. They have collaborated with various Hollywood artists and video game development companies.[citation needed]
Wong competed in the World Series of Video Games in Dallas in July 2007. He won first prize in the Guitar Hero 2 competition, playing the song "Less Talk More Rokk" by Freezepop.[5][6]
During MTV's "Gamer's Week" celebration in November 2007, Freddie appeared as a guest on Total Request Live.[7] Participating in the program with his newly formed band Hellanor Brozevelt, Wong was part of a country-wide search to find the best Rock Band ensemble. After receiving tutelage from well-known rockers Good Charlotte, Brozevelt performed at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York against Chicago-based Carrie Me Home.[8]
For the release of Rock Band, the band Hellanor Brozevelt was commissioned to play at the Best Buy in Hollywood for the midnight release of the game.[9]
Freddie Wong performed at YouTube Live in San Francisco on November 22, 2008.[10]
Wong has attracted mainstream attention as well, with Andy Whitfield appearing in a Time Crisis tribute video, Kevin Pollak appearing in a Hypnotism stunt, Shenae Grimes in a romantic gun action scene, Ray William Johnson in a troll infestation video, Eliza Dushku appearing in an action scene, Jon Favreau featuring in his video based on Cowboys & Aliens, the glam metal band Steel Panther appearing in his video based on the Crossfire board game, and Smosh appearing in his video "Huge Guns (with Smosh)".[11]
In 2010 he helped Joe Penna, known as MysteryGuitarMan on YouTube, shoot a commercial for McDonald's,[12] and assisted Wong Fu Productions in actions scenes of Agents of Secret Stuff.[13] In 2011 Wong produced, co-directed, and acted in a TV commercial for Battlefield 3 at the request of Electronic Arts.[14][15]
In 2011 he, along with his partners Matt Arnold and Desmond "Dez" Dolly, formed the production company RocketJump. Since then, they have worked on the webseries Video Game High School,[16] which began releasing episodes on May 11, 2012. The final episode of the series was released November 17, 2014, on the RocketJump website and YouTube.
Wong participates in at least three YouTube channels, with "RocketJump", his production company's main channel, supporting over 7.0 million subscribers,[17] "BrandonJLa", a secondary channel with behind the scenes videos and other content, which holds over 1.2 million subscribers,[18] and "Node", a gaming channel with over 900 thousand subscribers.[19] Wong also participates in other channels associated with Rocket Jump and Corridor Digital Studios.
In late 2013, They began the "Phase Two"[20] of their plans where they were going to work on new projects. Freddie's channel, "freddiew" was renamed to "Rocketjump", and "freddiew2" was renamed to "BrandonJLa". Brandon also announced that him and Freddie would no longer work together on projects, and any short videos or "shorts" would be posted on either NODE, a gaming channel run by Brandon and three others, or BrandonJLa. This was done mostly because they both wanted to work on different projects. Freddie was busy with his other project "Video Game High School". His last appearance on "Node" was back in November 2013 when they played "Bandfuse",[21] he last appeared again with them in the "Dayz" games,[22] but was not in the warehouse of Node as he was working on the third season of VGHS.

Porcelain On Steel | Women of West Point's Long Gray Line
Submitted by Joyce Faulkner on December 25, 2011 - 19:21Title: Porcelain On Steel | Women of West Point's Long Gray Line
Author: Donna M. McAleer
Genre: Military, Army
Reviewer: Bob Flournoy
ISBN (links go to the MWSA Amazon store): 0984551123
Porcelain on Steel is an insider's tour of one of America's most storied institutions and shares with the reader what it takes to succeed in the high-pressure, high-performance, high-testosterone lab that produces leaders for the Army and for our Nation.
In an era where the American public is saturated with women selling sexuality, this book highlights those who, blessed with strong character traits, use them to make a positive contribution to society. Leadership is a matter of character; leadership is matter of how to be, not how to do it. Leadership is something that is instilled in you--and great leaders in turn instill the ability in others. The women in Porcelain on Steel exemplify this--for all ages and wisdom for all time. Their qualities and strength of character would lead to success in any era but most importantly, their stories are especially relevant now, in today's times.
Porcelain on Steel is a book for your daughter, your sister, your best friend, and most of all, yourself.
The women in Porcelain on Steel are genuine role models. America's youth, whether male or female, as well as parents in search of stories of inspiration, courage, loyalty, public service and leadership that set a positive direction for our young people, should read this book.
Porcelain on Steel is a powerful and inspirational portrait of the women who serve--not just our country, but their families, their communities, and their own commitment to a purposeful and meaningful life. These women, like the author Donna McAleer herself, had the courage and strength to attend West Point--the toughest and most elite military school in the nation--and have the heart and soul to be role models for women everywhere. We can find courage in their courage, faith in their faith, and our own best selves in them. Porcelain on Steel is a book for your daughter, your sister, your best friend, and most of all, yourself.
West Point is an indispensible institution that has helped sustain our democracy for more than 200 years.

Here's Ch 142-Pt 2-K&K
Nat left her two ensigns changing in the cabin the three were sharing with Saavie, Faye and Keisie. Flay had removed her flight suit and was standing in a mcck turtleneck sweater and underbriefs. Now she was trying to decide which snowsuit to wear for the trip.
"Oro do ya thin, Caggie? Red or green?" she asked, holding two winter jumpsuits against her chest.
"Either one, Flay. This ain't no fashion show and that goes on 'over' your flightsuit, stupid! Hurry up now or we'll have Lt. Nat mad at us again!" replied Cagalli, zipping her parka and yanking on gloves. "Don't forget your helmet, dummy!" she added and picked up her own on the way out the door.
Flay quickly resumed her flight togs, pulled on her red jumpsuit, yanked on parka and gloves, shoved a Mark III (Nat's) into her pocket and pulled on her helmet. Then she raced to catch up with the others. Nat was waiting impatiently at the sled with Jamie and Goat when Cagalli trotted over and took her seat beside Nat. Jamie and Goat were in the rear sets behind them. Flay finally ran over, apologized and took a seat between the guys while Nat closed the roof of the sled.
"We'd better be quick 'cause that storm's headed this way and fast. You guys all strapped in? Let's go." she said, firing the engines and lifting clear of the bays and into the ever darkening skies. She rocketed East at subwarp two and five minutes later she put down at 'Land 'n Shop' which was the Mars' version of a Terran 'Walmart' store. Nat cut the engines, opened the roof and climbed out followed by Cag and the two guys. Nat tossed helmet, gloves and parka on the seat and fished out her PDO vidpad which held their shopping list. The two guys and Cagalli also ditched their heavy outer gear. Then Flay unstrapped and pulled off her helmet. She started to climb out of the sled but Cag shoved her back into the vessel.
"You gotta wait out here in the sled, Flaysie. We know about you and shopping malls! You'll get in there and we won't be able to get you outta there until you've bought out half the planet!" said Cagalli.
"You can't order me around, Athna!" yelled Flay defiantly.
"Well, I sure as Hell can, Ensign Allster! You 'will' stay outside with this sled and that's an order, young lady! Understood?" barked her lieutenant. Flay nodded her head.
"Yes'm." she mumbled sulkily.
"Aw! Don't cry, little Flaysie! If you're a good little girl we'll bring you back a nice dolly, OK?" teased Jamie.
"Come on, man! I just saw a hot space chick and she was giving me the eye, Jamie boy!" said Goat.
"And you two behave yourselves! Let's go, Caggie." said Nat.
The quartet left a pouting Flaysie and rode up the mobile walkway to the huge supermarket/department store/everything shops.
Back at the yard Cy and Robin had discovered that Miles was also a baseball fanatic like them albeit his 'Blue Sox' team was one they'd never even heard of before! While the trio of new tomos was yakking about baseball stats, games, players, etc. Dewey yelled over to Miles asking him if they still had that ALD411 core that Miles was supposed to have finished rebuilding last week.
"Yeah, Boss man. It's up in the loft next to the--" began Miles.
"Just get me the damned thing, kid! Better order that flow valve thrust unit from Reggie for that job we got with the 'Doom Patrol' shuttle service!" bellowed Dewey who was asking Spike how the 'Swordfish II', the 'Hammerhead' and the 'Redtail' (Spike's, Jett's and Faye's shuttles respectively) were holding up and wasn't the 'Redtail' overdue for a tune-up?
Cy and Robin followed Miles up to the loft and were soon 'oohing' and 'ahhing' at the profusion of engine and core parts strewn around them.
"Miles! Bring me a 127-DX nacelle fuel regulator too and that other spare hyperdrive array unit too." yelled Dewey. Miles grimaced but cheerfully complied.
An hour later with all the new parts installed and the 'Prince' tested and pronounced 'should last you another month or so' by Dewey Doohan, the old mechanic was proudly showing off his latest acquisition- the newly rebuilt and just refurbished 'Atlantis', the ancient 'NASA' space shuttle which had been rusting in an old silo on old Terra since it had been scrapped in AD 2107!
"Boy! I remember reading all about that thing on my history vids but I sure as Hell never thought that I'd ever actually see that old piece of space junk!" said Keisie incredulously.
"Watch your mouth, girlie! If it hadn't of been for one of those 'old pieces of junk' there our Spike here would be long gone to meet his maker! Ain't that a fact, Steigel?" growled Dewey.
"Yup. The 'Enterprise' sure as shooting saved my bacon that time and no mistake, man!" agreed Spike who was cleaning and loading his automatic. (See 'Wild Horse' episode of 'Cowboy Bebop' for details on this one).
Jett glanced at his wristchromo and frowned. Then he glanced at the almost pitch black sky above.
"They've been gone almost two whole hours! You don't suppose that anything's happened to 'em, do you?" asked a worried Jett.
"If I know Flay she's probably buying out the mall." said Saavie, looking up from her perusal of a ship's schematic vid which Dewey had given to them.
"Tht's just the reason why I told Nat to make damned sure that Flay stayed with the sled!" said Faye, popping open another 'Licorian Lana' beer for herself.
"Go easy on that crap, babe! You're navigating, girl!" warned Jimbo.
"Call 'em, Jett if you're that concerned." advised Keisie.
"Jett calling Lt. Nat. You there, ma'am? Over." trilled the big cowboy.
"Yes Mr. Black? Lt. Nat here. Over." trilled Nat who was just stuffing their last box of goodies into the sled's boot.
"Just wondering if you guys were OK what with this storm heading towards us and all? Over." trilled Jett.
"We're fine and just as soon as we find Flay we'll be on our way home. Over." trilled Nat.
"Her parka, gloves, snowsuit and helmet are on the backseat, Nat. So's her backpack but her fanny pouch isn't here." said Goat Smith.
"She's probably gone shopping, Nat. I'll have her paged in the mall." said Cagalli.
"You just do that, Ensign. When I get my hands on that little pain--" yelled Nat. Then-
"Oh, er, sorry, Jett. You were saying?" trilled the weapons crew chief.
"Did I hear you say that Miss Allster is er missing, Lt. Nat?" trilled Jett.
"Yeah but I just sent Athna to find her ass. She most likely just went shopping. When we return to the 'Angel', she's confined to quarters for a week and she's on KP for two! Oro? Jett! Caggie says all she can find in the mall were Flaysie's clothes in one of the changing rooms! What!! This is really weird, man! Cag says her fanny pouch is in there and the three outfits she was trying on and her flight suit! Wherever the Hell she is, she's in skivvies and boots and nothing else! Dammit all! I'm calling the cops! This looks like a kidnapping. Oro's that, Jett? Ok, OK, I won't call in the 'ISSP' guys just yet. Yeah, OK. We'll meet you back at Dewey's place. Bye." trilled Nat.
"Look Nat, I know she's flighty but she sure as Hell wouldn't be running around the streets in her unmentionaables now- would she?" sobbed Cagalli who was worried sick over her compadre in arms.
"Now let's all try and stay calm. We'll go back to the 'Prince' and regroup first. Then we'll go out and look for her." soothed Nat.
"Why the Fxxx haven't you called in the cops yet, Lt.? She's been kidnapped for Kami's sake! Shit, are you really that much of an asshole, Nat?" screamed an enraged Cagalli.
"Ensign! While I do realize that you're upset please remember that I am still your superior officer so watch your language, young lady! (Nat lowered her voice) We can't involve the 'ISSP' nor can we call the local police, Cag. We aren't even supposed to still be on this planet- remember?" said Nat.
"Sorry about that, ma'am. I apologize. You're right of course. Let's just get back to the ship." said Caggie. Suddenly Jamie and Goat came racing over to them.
"Find anything, guys?" inquired the lieutenant.
Instead of answering her Jamie solemnly handed her a hologram message cylinder.
"Delivery guy said he saw a kid matching our Flaysie's description leave here with a big dude on a skycycle! He says the guy just shoved her inside it and took off!" yelled Goatie.
"Oro makes him so shimatta sure it's our Flay, Goatie?" asked Cagalli.

A friend of mine is a wonderful seamstress, and makes lovely things that she sells around town.
We arranged a swap for a pair of delightful overalls, and my side of the bargain was a hat for her daughter.
She wanted it to be slouchy, and grey.
I made up this hat, with help from other hats around Ravelry.
It's knitted as a rectangle first, then sewn into a circle, and lastly I picked up the cuff along one edge.
It came out so nice, I decided to reknit a failed hat for a friend in the same style. I used the lace chart from Gothic Lace Cowl from Tin Can Knits.
It's a super easy pattern to remember, and I am enjoying the repetition of it.
What's on your needles?

dun DUN
Since last I posted I have been hard at work on a customer project that has not been going well. I have already ripped out the yoke once, and I have to do so again. I'll post about it when I'm not so annoyed with the whole thing.
As a palate cleanser I was cutting out a dress for The Youngest and I ran across this silly nearly finished project from a couple of years ago.
All that it needed was about 3 inches of the zipper attached and some eyes.
The Elder and The Hubby both think it looks like a cheerful whale, but The Younger and I know the truth: It's a terrifying shark, perfect for gobbling up pencils.
Update: I forgot to link to the pattern yesterday. http://www.mooglyblog.com/shark-time-pouch/
Thanks for the kind comments!

Thank You and a Finished Product
Thanks to you all for your kind comments on this little sweater.
Last night I was able to finish it up while waiting for the laundry machines to run their cycles.
It was a little late, but totally worth it.
I redrew the robot chart to be more in scale with the other patterns. It did still come out a little long, but I'm calling it a tunic right now, and then she can grow into it.
Next on my list is some customer work, but before that can happen I have to organize this awful basket mess.
In the aftermath of leaving my knitting teaching job I let my knitting materials get totally and completely disorganized.
Urgh, not looking forward to that!

Still Knitting
I finished the Sweater for The Youngest last Thursday, but it ended up being a little short.
The Youngest picked a few motifs from my Lucinda Guy book, and I am in the process of adding length to the sleeves and bottom hem.
Joining Nicole at KCCO
The Youngest picked a few motifs from my Lucinda Guy book, and I am in the process of adding length to the sleeves and bottom hem.
One of the things I love about this book is that space ships and robots were available for The Youngest to choose, and she did.
I am not quite sure about the robots, though, I think they'll end up being too long. I think I am going to pull them out and redraw the chart to a smaller scale.
The left sleeve is finished, so all that remains is the right sleeve and finishing up the hem.

Sweater for The Youngest and a Photo Shoot
In 2013, a knitter friend sent me some yarn she was destashing and I was inspired to start a dress for The Youngest.
It turned out too big, and I didn't really like how it was going, so for a year or so it was hibernating.
This past Sunday, my amazing photographer neighbor asked me to come and sit for a series she is shooting on people with passions.
I pulled out this little sweater for the shoot, in the hopes of getting my mojo back.
It worked, because now I am on the final sleeve.
It was super fun to go through my knitting books in search of the perfect patterns, the little ladies were already finished and I can't recall where they came from, but I got the flowers from Yokes (my Christmas present to myself)by Kate Davies, the birds from Little Red in the City from Ysolda Teague and the hearts from Knitting Motifs for Babies and Kids by Lucinda Guy.
The Youngest isn't all that interested in wearing it, but I hope to change her mind once it's finished.
The Elder joined me at the photo shoot. Shelly, who is so cool in so many ways, is such a treasure. Even though I am not all that photogenic, I love when I get to go to her studio. She has a way of capturing perfect moments.
If you're local, you should definitely check into a visit with Shelly.

Last Minute Christmas
It happens every year (for which I am very thankful), I have customer work that keeps me busy until late in December and am left with little time for family crafting.
So it came to pass that on Saturday, December 20th I texted this photo to my mom:
I was still stymied on the oven door last night, so I copped out and just put a bird on it. The accent fabric is birds and flowers, so I borrowed one of the motifs.
Add some pots, pans and food from IKEA and that's one exciting Christmas gift.
So it came to pass that on Saturday, December 20th I texted this photo to my mom:
from this website
and asked if she would collaborate with me to make it for The Youngest for Christmas.
She accepted and we began,
First, it was a trip to the fabric shop to get the basics: canvas for the body of the chair cover, accent fabric, felt and bias tape for details.
My mom is great with 3-dimensional planning and thinking. She designed and built her back deck, back porch, myriad gardens, she has got the skills.
So, of course, she whipped up the chair cover in about an hour.
I went over the next day and we worked for a couple of hours, making the apron, choosing the backsplash, making stove controls.
Mom did the heavy lifting with the doors and pockets.
I picked up the kitchen on Monday (along with the baker's hat and potholder that my mom managed to whip up) and brought it back to do the hand sewing.
I got the cover for the microwave door finished, attached the stove buttons, and started in on the oven door. After some research (I asked the daughter of a friend) about what to include inside the oven, I went with a pan of chocolate chip cookies. I will admit, I had a hard time figuring out what to do with the outside of the oven door, and the inside of the microwave.
Yesterday just happened to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day; we discovered that we all had lice and while we were on our way to The Lice Lady (Totally worth the money)The Elder threw up in the car, and while we were waiting for The Younger, The Youngest and The Hubs the car battery died.
But, after our 5 hour unpleasantness I was able to finish up the hand work last night.
We don't own a microwave, but we can just tell her it's popcorn door or something...I was still stymied on the oven door last night, so I copped out and just put a bird on it. The accent fabric is birds and flowers, so I borrowed one of the motifs.
Add some pots, pans and food from IKEA and that's one exciting Christmas gift.
I hope she likes it!

Birthday Room Redo
Friday was The Elder's 11th Birthday.
The first of her B-day requests was cake decorating supplies.
I baked the cake, devil's chocolate from America's Test Kitchen, (made dairy-free with coconut milk) and did a crumb coat of frosting, but she did the rest and it turned out great!
Once the kids were at school on Friday, my mom came over and helped me zazz up her bedroom as another birthday surprise.Earlier this year I built a rudimentary canopy for The Elder's bed.
For the big room redo I got some pipe insulation, painted it white and covered the uprights. Next we covered them with some more of the lacy fabric I used for the canopy.
Then, using some outdoor light clips, we attached a string of twinkle lights to the top.
It's the perfect reading light level, and turned out fairly magical, if I do say so...
We found a bunch of lovely art that The Elder has been making in school, and hung it around the room.
She also needed a desk, and luckily the neighbors threw out this changing table the other week.
It converted quite easily to a desk, and with a lick of paint it looks brand new.
She was mostly happy with the transformation, though there was a little panic when she couldn't find all of her toys.
It's a little staggering that this tiny sweet baby
has turned into this confident, bright, delightful young lady.
Happy Birthday, my girl.

Careers advice change failing young people - claim
Last updated at 11:15, Sunday, 27 January 2013
A youth work agency boss says a report highlighting a "worrying deterioration" in careers advice proves efforts to tackle youth unemployment are being hampered.
Mark Bowman, chief executive of Carlisle-based Inspira, spoke after a parliamentary committee said the Government's decision to hand responsibility for careers guidance to schools was "regrettable".
And his organisation, which works across the county, fears that more young people will end up out of work or education – costing Cumbrian taxpayers tens of thousands of pounds for every jobless person.
The Commons Education Select Committee said it had concerns about the "consistency, quality, independence and impartiality" of the advice now offered to youngsters.
Since last September, there has been a duty on schools and colleges to provide all pupils aged between 13 and 16 with impartial careers guidance.
But the committee's inquiry into the impact of the move has concluded that the quality of the careers advice on offer has deteriorated, and should not be left to schools alone.
It raised concerns that teenagers are not getting face-to-face advice, and that some schools are putting their own interests above their students.
There is evidence that young people are facing a postcode lottery in careers advice, with the quality varying between local authorities and between schools, the report found.
Mr Bowman said: "The report highlights what we have been saying for some time now.
"Impartial careers advice and guidance available to all young people and delivered by trained professionals is essential to help them make the right decisions for their future.
"Given current factors such as the raising of the participation age, the expanding range of educational choices available and high levels of youth unemployment, impartial, professional careers advice is even more critical."
Fears also persist that further council spending cuts could further worsen the situation in Cumbria and the efforts to give appropriate advice and guidance given to young people.
Suzanne Caldwell, of Cumbria Chamber of Commerce, said: "Too many young people are missing out and employers are facing recruitment difficulties because young people aren't aware of the range of career choices and don't understand what they involve.
"It is vital that information, advice and guidance is provided absolutely impartially, by organisations that don't have a vested interest in channelling young people in a particular direction."
The Commons committee said urgent steps need to be taken to ensure young peoples' needs are met.

Instance for Thornin's
The instance's for the ground assault mission on Nukara Prime needs work . It wasn't bad when it first came out but the past few times I've gone in looking to jump on a team to do the hard mission it has been a hassle to get everyone in the same instance. the best way i found to get a group together is for everyone to beam up then change to the same instance in space then beam back down. Anyone having this problem? Any suggestion.

Marines Helped Put Red Raider on Right Path
Veteran Zac Lindsey endured a lot for his country, but now he's making the most of his opportunities.
Zachary Lindsey was headed down a dark road in his early 20s. He was always looking for trouble and never worried about the consequences.
Little did he know, one decision would change his life for the better.
"I thought I would end up in a bar ditch or jail," Lindsey said. "But, one day, I literally walked out of my math class here at Texas Tech and went straight to the marine recruiting office. Less than a month later, I was gone to boot camp."
Eight years later, Lindsey is again a student at Texas Tech University, only this time as a retired sergeant of the United States Marine Corps. The 30-year-old Tahoka native endured many physical, mental and emotional trials during his service, but said he would not be the man he is today without the Marines.

Live Commentary
HONDURAS 0 - 1 CHILE: One goal does it for Chile, who looked far more comfortable than the scoreline suggests
Honduras have a late corner to try and shock the Chileans but they can't get a head to the ball and instead Chile break
Gonzalez finds the space for a couple of pot-shots from long range as three added minutes are announced
A half-chance for Welcome from 20 yards, which goes over the bar, will remind Chile that they can still draw this match if they're not careful
Ponce is given the chance to hit a free-kick from 40 yards but the wall does its job despite a powerful connection from the defender
Valdivia is given a well-earned rest as the left winger Mark Gonzalez comes on
Bravo does well to collect a low, front post Alvarez cross just ahead of Welcome
Honduras are starting to get frustrated as they just can't keep the ball enough to create some scoring chances
Another good chance from a free-kick as Medel wins the header but misses the target. He's offside anyway as it happens
Chile look like going to four at the back as defender Pablo Contreras comes on for midfielder Vidal, who has played his part well today
Udinese star Sanchez finds more space, this time centrally, but his shot from 20 yards doesn't test Valladares
A couple more runs from Sanchez down the right flank come to nothing as the final ball disappoints. The winger is again tormenting Figueroa
Honduras make their final change with Walter Martinez coming on for Nunez
The pressure continues with a free-kick on the left side, 40 yards out, which finds Carmona in the area but his header is deflected to Valladares
Disallowed goal for Chile as Sanchez handled the ball after Valladares palmed a 20 yard effort into his path. Surprisingly no yellow card for the Chilean
Sanchez works hard to win the ball back in the right corner before picking out Fernandez whose shot deflects away from goal
Valdivia looks to have been given a dead leg after jumping for a header and the forward is forced to limp off
Palacios tries to get Honduras going with a run inside from the left but is tackled and wins a corner which bounces off Ponce and falls kindly for Bravo to claim
A fine, last ditch tackle from Thomas robs Chile of a golden chance. Just as Sanchez was about the pull the trigger the sub slid in from the side and cleared
A good handball shout by Welcome in the Chile penalty area after a long ball from Figueroa but the referee shakes his head
Wigan's Hendry Thomas replaces Guevara as Honduras look to get back into this match before Chile score a second
Palacios concedes another free-kick on the left flank which for once creates a shot for Chile when Vidal headed back across for Ponce who was free at the far post but his diving header was brilliantly saved by Valladares
Almost a stunning solo effort for Sanchez, who skipped past one defender 25 yards out, burst into the penalty area but struck the ball poorly and wide of the far post
Figueroa continues to do better with Sanchez this half, tackling him this time inside the penalty area before the winger could get a shot off
The aging striker Pavon is replaced by the well named Georgie Welcome, another forward
A further chance for Fernandez to work on a set piece from the right flank and again the delivery is good but Honduras get there first. Good defending
Sanchez looked to have been fouled again, this time on the left of centre, just outside the penalty area, but the referee waves away his protests
Sanchez wins another free-kick on the right hand side which Fernandez swings in dangerously but Carrizo can't quite get enough of a head on the ball
Honduras have been trying to hold a higher line so far this half and press the ball further up the pitch but Chile have been too good with the ball so far
The games first substitution as Gonzalo Jara replaces Millar
More possession for Chile around the penalty area which finds its way through to Isla who shoots at Valladares but is a long way offside
Fernandez took the set piece short before swinging a dangerous ball in which Sanchez took two swings at before Mendoza and Pavon combine to block then clear
Chile do well to keep possession on the edge of the Honduras penalty area before Sanchez wins a corner after giving the ball away
It takes another good challenge, this time from Figueroa at the other end, to stop a similar attack with Beausejour down the Chilean right
A good chance for Honduras early on as Alvarez runs onto a ball but Medel wins his challenge on the edge of the box as appeals for a penalty are turned down
Chile restart the game here after coming out of their dressing room rather late, but no changes have been made
HONDURAS 0 - 1 CHILE: The corner tests Bravo again but Chile get the ball away far enough for the referee to blow for half time. An entertaining first half comes to an end
A decent hit from Nunez but straight at Bravo who pushes the ball over the bar for a corner
Emilio Izaguirre is fouled 30 yards from goal by Sanchez, tracking back with energy, winning a free-kick in a dangerous area
Rodrigo Millar finds Sanchez in far too much space 20 yards from goal and the winger cuts inside to shoot on his left foot but Figueroa blocks well
Valdivia this time plays the defence-splitting pace to Beausejour down the left but his low cross is cleared for a throw
Honduras are still struggling with the sheer number of Chilean players in their third of the pitch and must be considering making some changes at half time
Chile have, if anything, been given a boost of energy with that goal as Alvarez gets ran down trying to break before Nunez shoots over the bar under pressure from 25 yards
Valladares punches well from the resulting corner and takes a knock in the ribs for his troubles
That goal will hit Honduras hard as they look set up for a draw here. Some intent will have to be shown now but instead a Fernandez back-heel almost puts Valdivia through but Guevara tackles well
HONDURAS 0 - 1 CHILE: Fernandez at the heart of another move as a brilliant pass behind the defence finds Isla down the right who crosses into the six yard box where BEAUSEJOUR bundles the ball home
Palacios cuts a frustrated figure as the referee awards a mysterious yellow card for, apparently, persistent bad conduct
Chile win the ball back and send Sanchez away again but Figueroa ends his run this time, blocking him off without conceding a free-kick
Finally Sanchez finds some space on the right but Palacios tackles well and ignites a break down the Honduras left
Honduras seem to be pushing Chile onto their left flank, wary of the threat of Sanchez down the right, and Beausejour has yet to respond to the extra possession on his wing
Fernandez is becoming the focal point of Chilean attacks and his through-ball to Isla almost finds its intended target but Maynor Figueroa sticks out a leg to end the danger
Chile are still being given time to play the ball around in their own half before hitting a ball into Fernandez who can't turn through Palacios
More danger from Sanchez who ran to the byline in an attempt to find space before winning a corner. Fernandez finds a Chilean head this time but Vidal heads well over when he should at least hit the target from eight yards
A Honduras free kick in midfield is hit long for Pavon but the forward can't keep hold of the ball
The corner came out to Sanchez 20 yards out and sat up nicely but the Chilean miss-hit the shot and Valladares isn't tested
Ramon Nunez takes the set piece but Claudio Bravo comes and claims well before sending Sanchez on the counter-attack where he set up Valvidia for a shot that is deflected for a corner
Roger Espinoza was given far too much space to cut in from the right wing and hit a left footed shot that is deflected out for a corner
Referee Maillet is determined to clamp down on sliding tackles, showing his second yellow to Fernandez despite the Chilean winning the ball
A second corner from the right for Chile is put in deep where Gary Medel stretches but can't head towards goal. Honduras break quickly with Pavon but his shot from 25 yards skims wide
Honduras are holding a deep line here and conceding possession in midfield before fighting for it in the final third, much like the tactics of Ivory Coast yesterday
Finally Honduras find gaps of their own on the counter-attack but Roger Espinoza waited for support before over-hitting a deep cross. That space is there for Honduras though as Chile are charging forward
More gaps open up for Chile as Beausejour threads the ball through to Jorge Valdivia in the penalty area but the pass is heavy and Valdivia can't catch it in time
Sanchez though, seeing a lot of the ball, is crowded out and robbed of the ball by Honduras captain Amado Guevara who wins a free kick on the left wing
Chile will be buoyed by their early dominance and look likely to break through the Honduras back line, particularly through the pace of Alexis Sanchez on the right
Valladares is again tested with a Arturo Erasmo Vidal shot from all of 40 yards which swerved brutally in front of the Honduras keeper, causing him to drop his catch before claiming the ball at the second attempt
Carlos Alberto Pavon creates enough space to earn Honduras their first shooting chance but Mauricio Isla blocks the effort. Chile break quickly but a long ball is snuffed out by Valladares who rushes off his line to clear
Another rough tackle gives away a free kick in the right corner which causes a touch of panic in the penalty area before a snap shot from Jean Beausejour is hit straight at Noel Valladares
Carlos Carmona is an early victim of the new, harsher refereeing system as he earns a yellow card for a tough sliding tackle
More pressure from Chile with a corner on the right side, taken again by Fernandez who hit it deep where Palacios was waiting to head clear
Matias Fernandez struck it well with his right foot but the swerving, dipping effort didn't come down quick enough and merely ruffled the netting above the goal
We can be hopeful of a more exciting encounter than most over the past week, with Chile's attack intent. The favourites have an early chance with a central free-kick, 30 yards out
Honduras kick the match off and Chile have started, as expected, with an ultra-attacking 3-3-1-3
Chile are hoping to avoid extending their World Cup finals winless streak to 14 games today and have one of their most talented sides of recent decades, while Honduras are more limited and rely on Premier League star Wilson Palacios in midfield
Both teams have a player named Suazo out with injury today. Honduras will miss David Suazo, an Inter Milan forward, badly with few other options in attack, while Chile will suffer similarly without Humberto Suazo
Honduras and Chile get Group H underway in Nelspruit this lunchtime, a match that will be followed by the group favourites Spain against Switzerland
Match Report
Chile won their first World Cup match since 1962, ending a 13-match winless run, with a comfortable 1-0 victory over Group H rivals Honduras.
Honduras were flattered by the scoreline in a match that was badly one-sided, as Chile showed plenty that will worry the two European nations in their group, Spain and Switzerland.
It didn't take long to see just how attacking Chile are as the South Americans adopted a 3-4-3 formation from kick-off, a system which was never under threat of attack from a Honduras team that set up deep, pressing the opposition only when they got within 40 yards of goal.
The potential for a counter-attack, with Chile often reduced to two at the back, was there for all to see and Honduras showed that the opportunity was there 18 minutes in where they drove downfield after a Chilean corner, only for Carlos Pavon to scuff his shot wide from 20 yards.
After half an hour though it was becoming increasingly clear that Honduras didn't have the ability to break on regular occasions and neither did they put in enough effort to close down playmaker Matias Fernandez.
Unsurprisingly chances started to come thick and fast, with Arturo Vidal heading a good Fernandez corner over after 25 minutes.
When Chile finally broke through after 34 minutes it was no surprise that Fernandez was at the heart of the move, playing a brilliant pass behind the defence which found Mauricio Isla down the right who crossed into the six-yard box, where Jean Beausejour had made a run to the front post.
The Mexican-based forward missed the ball with his first attempt but a ricochet off defender Sergio Mendoza hit him and found the corner of the net.
Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez was involved in almost every Chile attack except that goal and almost doubled the lead a minute before the interval, when he cut in from the right flank and fired a shot which was well blocked by the heavily-tested Wigan left-back Maynor Figueroa.
Honduras pushed higher up the pitch in the second half but couldn't stop Sanchez and Chile. Waldo Ponce missed the best chance of the period when Vidal headed a Fernandez free-kick back across for him he was free at the far post but his diving header was brilliantly saved by Noel Valladares.
In reality though Chile didn't need any great urgency as Honduras looked impotent in attack and failed to test goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

Catch a wave or simply catch some rays from the ocean-facing deck at San Diego's Tower23 hotel, a mod surfside stay a few paces from the ocean. You can practically toss a pebble into the Pacific from your room's private balcony or the hotel's beachfront sundeck. Take a seat at local's favourite JRDN restaurant, and nibble on the catch-of-the-day as you witness the sun melt into the sea.
Right on the beach
Private balconies
Outdoor dining

Packing tips:
Leave the sun cream at home. You'll find sunscreen and sporty baseball caps in your room to buy that will keep you looking sun-kissed – not sunburnt.
Dress code:
Roll in from the beach in board shorts or simple sundress during the day. In the evening, swap surf togs for a more polished look – khakis and a light jacket for him, and designer jeans or a light wrap dress for her.

Dining information
JRDN restaurant is a sophisticated floor-to-ceiling enclosed glass beach lookout that's as well known for its inventive California coastal cuisine as it is for its ocean-facing views. Chef David Warner's menu highlights the local bounty with generous green salads, locally raised beef and of course, fresh seafood – including nearly still-squiggling raw bar items. It's one of the area's hottest restuaraunts, so be sure to reserve your table in advance. Set on the second floor of the hotel, the Tower Deck is open to guests only and serves snacks and drinks from the in-room dining menu. The teak sunloungers and teal-cushioned sectionals overlook the boardwalk and water for prime people watching as you snack on a balckened mahi mahi sandwich or kale salad.
Top table:
Bask in the warm SoCal breezes and salt-tinged air at an intimate outdoor table for two.
Last orders:
JRDN is open for lunch Monday to Friday 11:00am to 4:00pm. Sunday to Thursday dinner is served 5:00pm to 9:00pm. On Friday and Saturdays, breakfast, lunch and snacks are available 9:00am to 4:00pm, and dinner is served 5:00pm to 9:00pm.
Room service:
A limited in-room dining menu from JRDN is available 24-hours a day.
Hotel bar:
There is a small bar area and JRDN, and you can sip cocktails – such as the spicy jalapeño margarita on the rocks – from a sunlounger on the Tower Deck. Far more comfortable than a bar stool any day.

One reason that comes toSubmitted by Guest Redneck Across the River (not verified) on Sun, 04/08/2012 - 10:12am.
One reason that comes to mind is that we as Americans PAY THEIR PRICES. We complain among ourselves, but take absolutely no other action. Why are we not raising H&ll in the streets like when Trayvon Martin was killed or calling our national leaders 24/7? We take anything others dish out and deserve every bit of it for doing nothing. »

Primary store in Magento holds great amount of product detail, pricing, places to purchase our products, etc.
I am creating a secondary store named \\\"QR\\\" that will be used to display our product pages based on a person using a QR code to access the product page.
How can I conditionally display page elements based on store? One example is I don\\\'t want the search box to appear in my theme when the user is viewing a product page in the \\\"QR\\\" site.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
