Brits Ban Controversial Islamist Group
by IPT News • Nov 10, 2011 at 12:17 pm
Britain's Home Secretary Theresa May is banning "Muslims Against Crusades [MAC]," the latest name used by a British Islamist group that has been banned several times before. The action comes in response to the group's planned protest of the United Kingdom's November 11th Armistice Day, which honors the fallen of the nation's armed forces.
"It is not allowed for Muslims to mourn the death of any Muslim," said Muslims Against Crusades leader Anjem Choudary in a video address about the group's protest. "The one who stands with them, he is one of them," he added, before calling the honoring of British veterans "an insult against Islam and Muslims." Last year's protest saw Islamists burning a symbolic sign of British remembrance and chanting "British soldiers burn in hell" during the moment of silence.
The banning of the organization makes membership or support of it a criminal offense. May claimed that she was satisfied that MAC was "simply another name for an organization already proscribed under a number of names." The group was originally banned in 2006 for its glorification of terrorism, including the honoring of the 9/11 hijackers as the "Magnificent 19."
MAC also recently threatened British MP Mike Freer who he was meeting voters at a London mosque, forcing him to be evacuated by police escort. Ahead of the event, the group warned that an Islamist stabbing attack last year on MP Stephen Timms, should serve as a "piercing reminder" to politicians that "their presence is no longer welcome in any Muslim area."

Best for hedge in full sun zone 6a
Which hydrangea is best for a 50 foot long hedge in full sun? Also this will be visible from the road at the end of the driveway adjacent to the house. Think it will look ok in winter? They will be planted in front of a chainlink fence. Oh I am in NJ. New to gardening but adore hydrangeas.
Few better than H. paniculata 'Limelight' for a full sun hedge. These bloom in July if you don't prune too late. You can keep the dead blooms on all winter if you like (Google image search that).
Use the following link for a walkthrough and other useful information.
Here is a link that might be useful: Limelight Hedge information
I love Limelight and have many in my yard. Would't be without it! And I think the dried blooms look great in the winter.
Quick Fire is another to consider if you'd like something that blooms sooner. Bees and butterflies love it too.
I also really like Incrediball, although none of mine is in sun all day. It would be a little fussier about having enough water than Limelight or Quick Fire, I think.
Oh I like that idea of mixing Quickfire and Limelight so you have flowers for longer. How would you alternate?
Also, about when (what month each year) do they come in and when do they flower? Just wondering how many months I would have privacy from the neighbors!
I'm in zone 5b & have 4 Incrediballs in full sun - not a good idea! They're planted next to a rose bed & get a ton of water. Mine have grown really well & are healthy, but the blooms (which are huge!) go from pale green straight to brown, never turning white. I think they are 'sun burned'. I had planned to move them this year, but didn't get a chance. I'm definitely moving them to a shadier spot next year!
IME any of the H. paniculatas would work, or as others have suggested, a mix of them is a really great idea. Here they have thrived in full sun without irrigation, unlike the H. macrophyllas and H. arborescens, which like afternoon shade and periodic water. I would visit nurseries and look at the flowers of various types of H paniculata since the panicle's shape, density, and color varies a lot. I have Quickfire and Pinky Winky and prefer QF: the longer bloom time, the looser and more rounded panicles, and the color, which starts with white flowers around July 7-11, slowly shifts through a pale pinkish, and ends with a glowing cerise that lasts until hard frost. Pinky Winky starts later, has very dense pointed panicles, and still has a lot of white at this time of year. I am not overly fond of Limelight's fall color fade, though the summer is stunning, so having it as part of a mix would be a way to emphasize the positives of each while letting the less attractive aspects fade into the background, letting the ones that are at their best capture attention.
My H. paniculatas leaf out with the majority of the other deciduous woody plants in my area, not early or late, so you will have time in the spring when you want to be outdoors but they don't provide as much privacy.
My computer is in for repair, so I don't have normal access to photos, but I will look for some and add to a followup.

One of the UK's biggest electronic festivals was shut down last night due to chaotic scenes at its venue in the London docklands.
Bloc 2012 – which was going to be headlined by Snoop Dogg and Orbital – was being held in a new venue in London Pleasure Gardens at Royal Victoria Docks, and had been designed by the team behind Glastonbury's Shangri-La.
The Guardian reported many ticket holders were prevented from entering the festival site after queuing for hours, while extra police made their way to the location before midnight to oversee the departure of those inside.
Angry punters took to Twitter to vent their frustration after paying £55 to £125 to access the sell-out event. Pictures were posted of festivalgoers standing behind crowd barriers with police looking on – while the #bloc hashtag started trending big time in the UK.
Music writer Dan Hancox reported shortly after midnight that the police had "cut the site in two", tweeting earlier: "Bloc is um a disaster right now. We're in the middle of a car crash."
The reaction of another Twitter user, Rob Gregg, was very blunt: "Bloc is the worst festival I've ever been to. I don't know how they've managed it."

At this year's Academy Awards, it's anyone's guess.
The Oscar nominees were announced Jan. 10, and the five nominated tracks for Best Original Song range from jazzy tunes like the Norah Jones-sung "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" (Ted) to pop hits like Adele's "Skyfall" (Skyfall). The nominated bunch also includes moody, new age tracks like "Pi's Lullaby" (Life of Pi); bluesy ballads like the Scarlett Johansson-sung "Before My Time" (Chasing Ice); and Hugh Jackman's heart-wrenching, Broadway-ready ballad from Les Misérables, "Suddenly."
Listen to the nominated songs below – and then check out which songs (cough, mostly Disney songs in the '90s, cough) took home the Oscar for Best Original Songs in the past.

MacFarlane, 38, who is also the co-creator of American Dad! and The Cleveland Show, is no stranger to live performance. In September, he kicked off Saturday Night Live's 38th season by hosting the premiere episode, and he's entertained sold-out audiences at both London's Royal Albert Hall and New York's Carnegie Hall.

The bear is profane and hilarious, getting John to blow off work to smoke doobies and watch Flash Gordon many more times than can possibly be healthy. But the movie misses with a kidnapping plot that first-time film director MacFarlane clumsily telegraphs far too early.

How fast show a dehumidfier dry a basement....
Greetings all.....
I have had a moisture problem in my basement like.....forever. Recently I took measures to get the water away from the walls during a storm event, but like most basements, it's quite humid.
I bought a AprilAire dehumidifier that is "suppose" to be capable of removing 90 pints a day. I placed it at the far end of the basement where the problem is at it's worst...walls and floor are damp. The RH started out at 90% at approximately 72 degrees. The other end of the basement was at 88% at about 72 degrees. After running continuously for 24 hours, the end where the dehumidifier is at 75% and 75 degrees and the other end is at 84% at 72 degrees. The basement is about 2500 sq feet and is unfinished and a fairly open design.
Does that sound reasonable? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
It took almost 2 years of nearly non-stop running to get my basement from 75% down to 50%. Now the units rarely run. So be patient. And don't hesitate to empty the bucket whenever you are near the unit, even if the bucket is not full at that moment. When the bucket is full the unit is not running and is "falling behind".
Thank you for taking the time and effort to respond. I figured it would take longer to to get the moisture out of the walls and wood then it did to initially draw it our of the air. I don't have a bucket, it's draining directly into the sump well, so I don't have to worry about that. It's continuing to fall slowly.....
There's a constant inflow of moisture into your basement through the walls and floors, so it's not just a matter of getting the moisture out and you're done. It's a continuous job.
Ideally, the RH should be 50% or less.
Controlling moisture at its source would greatly reduce dehumidification costs. That would include sealing the basement from the exterior, keeping all windows and vents closed during high-humidity seasons and adding semi-permeable or impermeable insulation on the exterior walls and the basement floor.

This review is from: Jabra EASYGO Black Bluetooth Headset
Pros: Decent fit in ear. On/off switch is faster than press-and-holding a button. Few features, not overly complicated.
Cons: The whole outer surface is the button, so it's impossible to handle without pressing it. Try to put it on while not on a call, you'll long-press the button, redialing the last caller. Try to put it on to answer a call, you'll hang up on the caller. And forget about trying to carry it in your pocket.
The on/off switch is so tiny that it's hard to operate. In the process of trying to turn it off, you'll probably long-press the button and redial the last caller.
The auto-volume adjustment is a disaster. The volume level of the caller's voice fluctuates between medium and loud ONCE PER SECOND. The volume change isn't even gradual, it's either medium or loud. Is it trying to account for volume fluctuations in the speaker's voice?
Lastly, when you try to manually adjust the volume, it takes a full one second before you can press the volume button again. It plays two tones to demonstrate the current volume, then pauses. It should respond with a single tone and no pause, allowing you to quickly drop or raise the volume.
Maybe I'm just using it wrong. I think I have it set at full volume because I couldn't hear the caller. Then, the phone's system sounds blast at full volume (ie: the end call sound). So if I turn it down, will it boost the caller volume? That's just messed up. Keep it simple!

How to Maintain a Leather Sofa
If you are planning to buy a leather sofa, you'll want to make sure you know how to maintain the upholstery. A leather sofa can be one of the most comfortable and stylish pieces of furniture in your home. Whether you are considering a leather sectional sofa, sleeper sofa, leather chairs, or any other piece of leather furniture, you can significantly extend their longevity by giving them proper and consistent care. Here are a few tips to make sure your leather sofa will be a favorite furniture piece for years.
How to Buy Slipcovers
One of the simplest ways to update your decor is to buy slipcovers. Available in many sizes to fit chairs, futons, sofas, sectionals and even recliners, furniture slipcovers can be an easy solution when you're redecorating on a budget. Choosing quality sofa and chair slipcovers will be less expensive than replacing your old furniture, especially if the item is sturdy and comfortable, and a well-fitting chair or sofa slipcover will complement your room and give your furniture a face-lift. Whether you need to cover up old couches that have seen better days with sofa slipcovers or just want a fitted slipcover to give your armchair a fresh, polished look, the following suggestions will help you find the perfect furniture covers for your home. Read on for tips on buying slipcovers.
How to Choose a Chaise Lounge
When you're ready to relax in your own living room, it's time to consider a chaise lounge. A chaise lounge is a long chair designed to support your head and legs while you recline. A traditional lounge chair has either a low back that runs the length of the chair or no back at all. Looking almost like a modified sofa, a chaise lounge is best used for a single, reclining person, but it can accommodate several people sitting upright. How do you choose the chaise lounge that's right for you? Read on to find out.
How to Measure for a Sectional Sofa
Adding trendy and stylish sectional sofas to your home provides you with a comfortable place to sit at the end of the day and adds fashion to your home. A sectional sofa is a popular choice of seating for formal or casual living rooms, recreation rooms and studies. The one drawback to sectional sofas is their size. They're much larger than traditional sofas and allow for less flexibility in furniture arrangements. However, it's easy to overcome that by following these tips on How to Measure for a Sectional Sofa.
How to Buy a Sectional Sofa
Shopping for a new piece of furniture can be fun but daunting. After all, almost all pieces of living room furniture are somewhat large and will be in your home for many years, so whatever you choose has to be a good fit. This is definitely true when purchasing a new sofa, especially when it is a sectional sofa. Knowing what you are looking for in terms of style, color and fabric can help you to buy the perfect sectional sofa for your family or living room.
How to Choose Kitchen Seat Covers
Kitchen chair seat covers add comfort and style to any dining set. Whether you have wooden dining chairs that you would like to make a little more comfortable or you are looking to update your decor, kitchen chair seat cushions offer many options. Kitchen chair pads can even protect your dining chairs from scratches, scuffs and stains. When choosing chair pads for your kitchen chairs, you will consider fabric type, color and design, style and price. In addition, not all seat cushions are equal; some are reversible, while others offer additional non-slip security.
How to Choose a Durable Sofa Slipcover
Slipcovers are great at disguising the questionable print on an old sofa or covering up years of use, but they can also be used to protect your new furniture from kids and pets. If you're using it to shield a sofa or chair from accidents, you may want to look for something sturdy and low maintenance. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you shop for a durable sofa slipcover.
Best Sunroom Furnishing Ideas
Sunrooms are often some of the most popular areas of any home. Large windows and garden views make sunrooms feel like outdoor retreats while still providing the cover and warmth of indoor rooms. Because sunrooms are connected more to the outdoors than any other room in your home, pick design elements and furniture that work with that theme. Below, you'll find some of the best sunroom furnishing ideas. Seating: One of the most important parts of a sunroom is the seating arrangement. Since you'll likely want to spend many warm nights and bright days in your sunroom, you'll need adequate seating. Sunrooms typically feature either wood furniture or wrought iron seating. When deciding what's right for you, consider the overall look of the room as well as the intended comfort level. Wooden furniture with thick cushions is warmer and more comfortable than metal. A wicker sectional sofa with comfortable cushions will work well with the design of a sunroom. Alternatively, wrought iron benches and chairs give a modern look and feel to a room. Mismatched plush armchairs are a great way to bring both comfort and casual elegance to a sunroom. Tables: When picking out tables for your sunroom, consider how you're going to use the area. Choose a low table that can act as a coffee table for guests to set down their drinks. Tables with glass inserts match sunrooms well because of surrounding glass windows. Sunrooms are a popular place to go during parties and family get-togethers, so consider adding a small dining table and chairs to the room for meals. Design elements: Although sunrooms are indoors, they tie in the nature and wonder of the outdoors. Choose design elements that bring both sun and nature into the room. Wicker planters can hold plants of your choice. Place planters on side tables and on the floor next to entrances to give an inviting impression as guests enter the room. Artwork can change a bland sunroom into something charming and interesting. Look for paintings and sculptures that incorporate colors and themes from the surrounding decor.

I made an android app that runs nicely on Samsung Galaxy S1, Galaxy S2 and the emulator. I sent the apk of it to someone who has an HTC desire device, and when he tried to install the app he said he got an error:
There was an error parsing the package.
As I don't own an HTC myself, i tried to setup an emulator with the specs as close as I can to the ones of HTC desire device, which i got from here: The correct Eclipse/Android device configuration for HTC Desire
The app runs nicely on my emulator with those settings, but isn't installing on the actual device. Any ideas what can be causing this? How do I find the problem?
this is the beginning of the Manifest if relevent:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name"
HTC desire android version is 2.2, Which is what I chose when I created this project. All phones checked on are checked to allow installations of apps from unknown sources. there are about 5 drawables in this app, which i have put in res/drawable-hdpi . i thought maybe the HTC is looking for them on res/drawable-mdpi so I have copied them there as well, but got the same result.
Appriciate any help, I'll supply you with any other information you think is relevent, I'm not exactly sure where to look :/

Where to Find Elderberry?
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum so I apologize if I'm posting this in the wrong place.
As a hobbyist watchmaker I use a fair amount of "pith wood" to clean tools and parts. It's a soft wood that I hear comes from the Elderberry shrub. Just a few grams of this stuff can cost $10 from the horological supply shops.
I've heard that Elderberry is practically a weed and grows wild all over the country. What I'm wondering is does anyone know a good place to find some that I could harvest for the pith. It seems like there's enough of it out there that no one would miss it and I wouldn't feel like a sap for buying it at such a high price.
Thanks for any help or leads!
Most people on this forum would not look kindly on harvesting material from the wild like that. That said, it is true that Elderberry grows abundantly around here, at least, mostly in rather damp and inaccessible places.
If you would like to plant some on your own property, I know that Stark carries them. So does Miller. You would be doing a favor to wildlife, since the berries are very beneficial to the birds. The plants are attractive and extremely easy to grow.
Here is a link that might be useful: Elderberry information from the USDA

D-backs' Ross sees humor in homer against Rangers
MAY 27, 2013 5:08p ET
The Rangers wooed Ross, bought him dinner and were on the verge of signing him to a free-agent contract over the winter before the Diamondbacks swooped in with their three-year, $26 million deal. Ross and his wife were in a car with Rangers GM Jon Daniels when the D-backs texted their interest.
So how has he repaid them? With a home run that made the difference Monday.
Ross' bases-empty homer in the fifth inning accounted for the fourth run in Arizona's 5-3 victory over Texas in the first game of a doubleheader at Chase Field.
He laughed when it was brought up.
"I didn't really think about it until some friends that are here and my wife were just here talking about it," Ross said between games. "It's funny."
The Rangers did not make an offer when they hosted Ross, although it was obvious they were interested after losing Josh Hamilton and Mike Napoli from their potent offense. Ross took the D-backs' offer at lunch the next day, and Texas later added Lance Berkman
Ross is not surprised at the Rangers' success after the little contact he had with the the team's management.
"All those guys ... I met with (manager Ron) Washington, Jon Daniels, Thad Levine. All of those guys were great guys. Class-act organization. You can tell even his year. Everyone was kind of writing them off because of what they lost and they are playing really great," Ross said.
"A testament to them."

Lighting and headboard
wongsonApril 26, 2012
Your design inspired our current murphy bed look! I'm wondering how you installed your sconces as my guess is that they're not permanent fixtures so the bed can go up. Do they slide off of something? Are the wires exposed? Also, is the headboard part of the murphy bed or is that a separate piece? What is it made of?
Jeanne Finnerty Interior Design
This is not a Murphy bed but, an alcove. 12" deep at shelving, and 18" at the base cabinet. The headboard is a very tight slipcover, sewn in two fabrics-
I have designed murphy beds with small swing arm lighting with the bookcase area-
it was easily moveable when the bed was not in use.
I have designed murphy beds with small swing arm lighting with the bookcase area-

Thx for the response! Do you have any images of the swing lighting you've installed on murphy beds or links to products that you've used? Were you able to hide the cords or were they cordless? Finally, what did you do with the gap between the wall and the mattress? Lean pillows over it?
Sheryll Lyn
I think this is just gorgeous! My bedroom is so very tiny and I was thinking of building open shelving on the sides and I have a window to do shelves over and also thee is a slightly vaulted ceiling to deal with (another reason for the 'open' shelves. I am also thinking NO bottom side tables for a more spacious, open look?

Is Combat Really Over In Iraq?
The AP asserts that, in spite of the declaration of combat operations being over, combat certainly lies ahead. Obama did say, "Of course, violence will not end with our combat mission," but he didn't outline where real dangers lie.
Peril remains for the tens of thousands of U.S. troops still in Iraq, who are likely if not certain to engage violent foes. Counterterrorism is chief among their continuing missions, pitting them against a lethal enemy. Several thousand special operations forces, including Army Green Berets and Navy SEALs, will continue to hunt and attempt to kill al-Qaida and other terrorist fighters – working closely with Iraqi forces.
From other parts of Obama's speech:
- OBAMA: "We have met our responsibility."
But just what is that responsibility?
It was the U.S. that invaded Iraq, overthrew its government, disbanded its security forces and failed in the early phases of the conflict to understand the depth of Iraq's sectarian and ethnic divisions and its political paralysis. The U.S. in some minds is responsible for putting Iraq back together again, yet today Iraq has no permanent government and its security forces arguably are not fully prepared to defend the country's skies and borders.
- OBAMA: "Within Afghanistan, I have ordered the deployment of additional troops who – under the command of General David Petraeus – are fighting to break the Taliban's momentum. As with the surge in Iraq, these forces will be in place for a limited time to provide space for the Afghans to build their capacity and secure their own future."
This sounds much like the Bush rationale for the troop surge in Iraq.
Obama seems to be embracing the troop surge logic now, even though it's clear that the Iraqis have yet to achieve the necessary level of reconciliation to form an enduring government.

How to Make a Necktie Skirt – a Somewhat Different Approach My 13-year old daughter was watching the fashion design show "Project Runway" and saw that a couple of the contestants had made various garments out of neckties. She liked the idea of a necktie skirt so we set about the task of collecting as many colorful neckties as possible so we'd have lots to choose from. The end result was quite beautiful, so I thought I'd write a tutorial and share this idea. I have recently searched online and found a number of necktie skirt tutorials, but none of them used the same method I used. The main difference is that I disassembled the ties before reassembling them into a skirt – as well, I added a simple lining. Other tutorials I have found left the ties intact before stitching them together. The two methods produce an altogether different look. My skirts use the "opened tie" method – the result is a soft draped look This skirt uses the "closed tie" method. Also quite beautiful! photo courtesy of Laura K. http://rickrackruby.blogspot.com/2004_10_01_rickrackruby_archive.html) 1 If you don't already have a good collection of neckties, try garage sales, flea markets and thrift shops. Another useful source is freecycle.org, where you can join a group that freely exchanges used items, rather than clogging up landfills (I strongly recommend this – it is not only environmentally friendly, but also just plain friendly). The following directions assume a good knowledge of sewing What you'll need: • About 6-12 neckties, of varying colors and patterns • 7-inch or 9-inch skirt zipper • Hook and eye, button, or snap • 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch wide elastic (optional) • A few yards of lining fabric • Thread, pins, sewing machine, etc. Start by choosing the neckties you want to use – lay them side-by-side and see what colors and arrangements you find most pleasing. Try to choose ties of similar weight and texture, so that the skirt will drape evenly. If you're making a short skirt, you will need fewer ties – I used 6 for the short version, 12 for the long. Neckties are usually basted together at the back seam with a loose stitch of heavy thread. This is really easy to pull out. Be careful, however, when pulling out the secure stitching at each end of the tie – use a fine thread scissor or a seam ripper so you won't mar the fabric – those beautiful silk ties are often very delicate. You'll need to remove the stiff tie inserts, but you might want to save them for another project. Once all the ties are opened out, press them flat, using a bit of steam and as low an ironing temperature as possible, especially for the silk ties. Decide what skirt length you want, and cut the ties, plus about 3 extra inches for safety – you'll trim them later. Use the wide ends for the skirt, but save the thin ends because one or two will be used later for the waistband. The bottoms of the ties will be nicely lined – keep that lining intact, because that will be your finished hem. 2 Begin stitching the ties to each other along the seam line (see above figure) with right sides together, making about a 1/2" or 5/8" seam (narrower, by necessity, along the finished edge at bottom). Just keep adding ties and check the fit by wrapping it around your waist, until you have a good fit, slightly bigger than your waist. (As the ties do taper toward your the top edge of the skirt, a longer skirt will require more ties, as mentioned earlier.) Leave the last seam open – you'll need to trim the top before finishing this seam. Lay the skirt out flat and steam press the seams to one side, all in the same direction, or press them all open, whichever you prefer. To get the skirt nice and even all around, use a tape measure or long ruler to measure an even length and some chalk or straight pins to mark it before cutting, then carefully trim the tops of the neckties. 3 Once the top of the skirt is evenly trimmed, stitch up the final seam, leaving a 7-9" opening at the top to allow for the zipper Making a lining for the skirt is optional, but I do recommend it. With all those seams, the lining makes the skirt more comfortable and it will look more finished and less translucent. 4 For the lining, cut two pieces of fabric (light weight rayon, acetate nylon or similar) in a shape as shown above, wider at the bottom. The top edge of each piece should be 1/2 your waist measurement plus about 3 inches for gathering and to allow for seams. The length should be less than the length of the outer skirt, so that the bottom, when hemmed, falls well above the points of the ties (as shown below). Hem the lining with a small rolled hem. Machine-baste the top edge of the outer skirt and the top edge of the lining (separately). With wrong sides together and matching up zipper openings, stitch the top edge of the outer skirt to the top edge of the lining, gathering to fit if they don't match exactly (use the machine basting to pull the gathers). 5 Attach the zipper to the outer skirt (following any basic method you would use for adding a zipper, e.g. the package directions). Press the edges of the open part of the lining over the zipper and hand or machine stitch to back side of zipper. Now you're ready to make the waistband. Get an exact measurement of your waist. If you want the skirt to fall a bit below the waist, measure there instead. Using one of the leftover tie ends, cut a piece about 2 inches wide and the length that matches your waist measurement plus an additional 2 inches. If one of the tie ends is not long enough, stitch two together – this makes for a more colorful waistband. Press under 1/4 inch along one long edge of waistband. With right sides together, stitch the other long edge of the waistband to the top edge of the skirt (1/4 inch seam), leaving the zipper open and allowing the extra inch of waistband to extend past each end at the zipper opening. Gather top edge of skirt as needed to fit the waistband. 6 Fold the waistband in half lengthwise (unfolding the pressed edge), right sides together, and stitch the ends with 1/4 inch seam, as shown below. Turn the waistband right sides out and fold the pressed edge under again. Then stitch the waistband closed, staying close to the edge, and leave a small opening at both ends for the optional elastic to be snaked in. Sew a hook and eye, a snap, or a button and button hole to the ends of the waistband to close it. Try it on once more to decide if you want to add the elastic. I like elastic because the soft fabric of the waistband can tend to stretch a bit while you wear it and the elastic keeps it in shape. Cut a length of elastic a bit smaller than your waist measurement and snake it into the waistband with a safety pin. Remove the safety pin and stitch the elastic to the waistband with a neat line of stitching across each end, then stitch up the opening. 7 When the skirt is all finished, steam press it and wear it with pride! And send me photos!! P.S. You'll need to dry clean this skirt - I use a home dry cleaning product called Dryel, available at most U.S. supermarkets. 8

Dwight Johnson chosen as Rosemount's new city administrator
Right away Tuesday there were two clear front runners for Rosemount's vacant city administrator position -- Dwight Johnson and Mike Mornson. Only one could have the job, though, and after extensive conversation Johnson, by a 4-1 vote, was named Rosemount's new city administrator.
"Either way you have gold or gold," said Brimeyer Group consultant Richard Fursman before the vote. Apparently Johnson shined a little brighter in the eyes of at least four of the council members.

The more than sixty engaging kids' arts and crafts projects included here are accessible and developmentally appropriate for one- to eight-year-olds, and they're a far cry from the cookie-cutter crafts many of us did in school as kids. From bubble prints to musical chairs art, these kids art activities allow children to explore art materials, techniques, and ideas as they grow more creative every day. With activities for downtimes, action art for releasing energy, and recipes for making your own art materials, this book is your guide for raising an artful family.
