The real poison is to be found in Arafat's legacy
He placed vain trust in Israel and the US - mistakes that his people are still paying for
I never much cared for Yasser Arafat. It wasn't the scrubby beard or the protruding eyes or the fact that he'd done away with a few of his chums or even the way he once forbad a photographer friend from taking a picture of his bald pate. It was the histrionics, the endless carping about the "peace of the brave" – a phrase he cribbed from de Gaulle – the way in which he would go on about child casualties ("even the little babies…") and then his endless production in interviews of an old Palestine one pound note with its denomination in Hebrew and Arabic. Surely Jew and Arab could live again together?
He made so many concessions to Israel – because he was growing old and wanted to go to "Palestine" before he died – that his political descendants are still paying for them. Arafat had never seen a Jewish colony on occupied land when he accepted the Oslo agreement. He trusted the Americans. He trusted the Israelis. He trusted anyone who appeared to say the right things. And it must have been exhausting to start his career as a super-"terrorist" in Beirut and then be greeted on the White House lawn as a super- "statesman" and then re-created by Israel as a super-"terrorist" again.
In the end, surrounded in his Ramallah headquarters and shelled by Israeli tanks, his few visitors noted how old he looked, how sick. One Scandinavian diplomat who managed to visit him noted how he no longer wore socks, how he had a habit of picking loose skin from his feet during interviews, how the lavatories smelled.
Then came Arafat's flight to Paris – the Israelis suddenly turning humanitarian on the old boy – and, even before his death, the first murmurings about poison. I didn't take them very seriously. If he lives, I thought, the gossip will stop; if he dies, he will have been poisoned – as surely as Napoleon was poisoned by the Brits, as assuredly as 9/11 was a CIA plot. So he died. And so, of course, we were told he was poisoned.
Suha Arafat, who had been estranged from him for some years, began talking about his murder and from that moment, murder it became. I happened to hear second-hand from a French military nurse at the Bercy military hospital where Arafat was treated and where he died, that French medical authorities made extensive tests to see if Arafat had been poisoned, before and after his death. They found no trace of poison. And the French had bad relations with Israel at the time.
But as the years stretched out, no conversation, no mention of Arafat's death could be without the word "poison". When the accusations started, Israeli spokesmen even talked of the possibility that Arafat's Palestinian enemies had done away with him. Israel, on the other hand, was proved to have tried to poison a Hamas official in Amman – King Hussein was told of the antidote and Benjamin Netanyahu was forced to release Sheikh Ahmed Yassin as part of the deal. Yassin was later assassinated by the Israelis, bombed in his wheelchair.
Then this month, when the scientists reported on the high level of polonium found in Arafat's body, it started again. Perhaps it came, one interviewer suggested to me, in the depleted uranium shells the Israelis had fired at Arafat's headquarters when he was trapped inside. Problem. According to my enquiries at the time, the Israelis had no depleted uranium shells in their ordnance inventory. That doesn't mean they haven't used them in other locations. But not at Ramallah.
And what actually is the evidence? He died in 2004, on 11 November, a suitable day since the Great War armistice marked the end of a conflict which gave birth to the Israeli "homeland" in Palestine. The Russian investigation is inconclusive. The French haven't yet told us their results. The 60 samples taken from the old man's remains and clothes led the Swiss investigators to say only that the evidence of polonium "moderately" supports the idea that he was poisoned.
I'm sceptical. Edward Said told me that Arafat said to him in 1985 that "if there's one thing I don't want to be, it's to be like Haj Amin. He was always right, and he got nothing and died in exile." Hunted by the British, Haj Amin, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, went to Berlin during the Second World War in the hope that Hitler would help the Palestinians. It was the greatest blunder any Palestinian has made. Arafat followed that blunder by going to Baghdad and embracing Saddam Hussein after his invasion of Kuwait, believing Saddam would "liberate" the land he called Palestine. Arafat wanted to believe Saddam. Like he wanted to believe the Americans. And the Israelis. And his legacy of vain trust has destroyed any hope of a Palestinian state. That is the poison we should be studying.
Knowing the enemy for 70 years
I've long grown weary of the way in which Time magazine, CNN, Fox News and other glories of American journalism like to map out the ethnic/religious/racial front lines of the Middle East. "How to tell a Sunni from a Shiite" was my favourite Time headline. But thanks to reader Lieuke Katz of Albuquerque, New Mexico, I've discovered that Time has been at this game for more than 70 years.
Katz has sent me a page from December 1941 which is headlined: "How to tell your friends from the Japs". The article tries to help Americans to distinguish between Chinese and Japanese, an important task since the Chinese were (then) our allies. "Even an anthropologist, with calipers and plenty of time to measure heads, shoulders, noses, hips, is sometimes stumped," the reader is told with almost fascist bluntness. So here we go:
"Chinese, not as hairy as Japanese, seldom grow an impressive moustache, Most Chinese avoid horn-rimmed spectacles. Although both have the typical epicanthic fold of the upper eyelid … Japanese eyes are usually set closer together… The Chinese expression is likely to be more placid, kindly, open: the Japanese more positive, dogmatic, arrogant… Japanese are hesitant, nervous in conversation, laugh loudly at the wrong time. Japanese walk stiffly, erect. Chinese, more relaxed, have an easy gait, sometimes shuffle."
From Pearl Harbour to Baghdad, it pretty much takes your breath away.

Assistant Vice President Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week – interviewed at Citi in May 2014.
Was reached out to by a recruiter, was interviewed by her initially, then had a phone interview with two people, then had a video conference interview with three people. The whole process went quite smoothly and they were very flexible and willing to work around the schedule of the position I held at the time.

I worked at WLR Automotive Group full-timePros
I cannot think of any pros, other than the fact that in this economy, it's a job.Cons
They don't care about the company as a whole. Management only cares about themselves. They have a very high turnover rate and they take money from employees that legally they should not take, justifying them by saying that the employee should do a better job. They don't use employees for their strengths, nor do they even make themselves aware of what their employees abilities are. This is an environment of who can have the most control over individuals. The CEO does not know his employees and relies on his managing partners to tell him, even though they do not know the employee either. As the other review stated, HR issues are never kept a secret. They don't give an employee a chance to improve or learn, they just cut them loose. The pay is really bad.
I expect the future of this company will continue to thrive. They will continue to misrepresent their values to prospective employees. When employees figure out that they have made a mistake by being employed here, they have either been fired or have quit to move on to bigger and better things.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Management should think more of who is helping to build the company and stop acting like they are in a clique. The employees are the ones who actually run your company and do the work. Show them appreciation rather than treating them poorly.Doesn't RecommendDisapproves of CEO

Ostrich--How are your overwintered tulips doing?
I know previously I had said I brought them outside, but took them back in after a day or so because it got cold again. Are you bringing yours out this week? It's been beautiful! I took mine out yesterday, and this morning noticed a few drooping. Called the nursery and they told me to limit sun for a while until they get used to it. Start with 2 hours a day and then in a couple of days go to 3 hours and then so on. What a process this has been! LOL My husband said "We're not doing this again next year" I said "What? If this works and they bloom I most certainly AM doing it".... 40 white tulips lining my front porch for 2 weeks? Worth every second of the effort :)
joannemb! With our unseasonably warm weather lately, I have put the 3 pots outside and they are doing great! The nights that were rather cold, I did bring them back into the garage. You know, I don't baby them (I don't baby ANYTHING in my yard LOL) so I just left them out there all day long and they are doing just fine. Hey, if there was too much sun and they could not stand it, then that's it.... I just won't be doing it next year if they are that tender and fussy!!! LOL! So far, they have been doing great.
Anyway, I actually saw some buds coming up last night when I came home! It's so exciting!!! I can't wait to see them bloom....:-)
Yay! I got buds today too! I was so relieved to see them as I just had it in my head that for some reason they wouldn't bloom. After reading post and post about people failing at overwintering tulips I thought there was no way this would be a success. Post pictures when yours bloom!
Hi Joannemb! My tulips finally bloomed a couple of weeks ago! I took this photo last week, but I didn't get round to posting it until now - sorry! Anyway, I am so glad that even though I didn't follow all the "proper" steps in overwintering the tulip bulbs etc. but they still bloomed so well for me! I hope yours are doing well too.
They are beautiful!
I was very happy mine did indeed bloom, but not so happy with the type of tulips I selected. They were triumph tulips (called pax) and I wish I had gone with Maureen late white ones instead. These were kind of short, and went from a bud straight to wide open. Didn't have the grace and beauty of the ones in your picture. I chose that particular type because they were supposed to do well in containers. (Probably because they're so short?) Live and learn. What kind of tulips are the ones in your photo?
Next year I think I may try hyacinths. I've been so drawn to the blue ones this Spring and have been wishing I had some in my yard.

Forever Flowers Product
Has anyone tried this product? Sounds too easy and "too good to be true" but probably silica gel when first introduced met with some scepticism so I'm wondering...?
If I weren't using every spare penny to make out my spring plant/seed orders I'd be tempted. But first I'd sure lke some feedback from anyone who's even heard of it or used it. josh
Here is a link that might be useful: Forever Flowers
The "antique patina" phrase worries me. I go to great lengths to capture a fresh look when I dry flowers--I guess any old things could claim to have an "antique patina", including the 8 year old wreaths I hang in the branches of the trees for birds to nest in.
It is a lil cheaper here, I am still looking for the manufacturer's site. Let me know what you find out!

Wandering East
... lunch in the main square at a bakery/cafe to catch up and relax a bit after the drive. We had to walk through this towns Christmas market to get to the cafe and it was all Sheree could to avoid stopping to shop along the way. It even had a tiny ice rink around the famous statue of Shiller and Geothe. These two were contemporaries and lived close to one another, so their houses are famous landmarks. Jesus says that many buildings have plaques that ...

Lunch at the city Berchtesgaden.
Appetizer: tomato pasta and salad.
Main: potato and trout. Both taste good.
The waitresses are dressed sexily in traditional dresses. There is also a young handsome waiter. We sat outside this time.
In and around Thuringia
We visited friends in the stunning 'state' of Thuringia, going to Jena (famous for its links with the optics industry), Weimar (site of the eponymous republic, and Goethe) and Erfurt (home of some great architecture, the merchants bridge and old quarter) - definitely worth a visit around autumn/ winter time for its colours!
Wartburg & Eisenach
This morning we are on the Green bus. We had beautiful drive to Eisenach to visit the home of Johann Sebastian Bach. We were treated to a private concert at the Bach house. The house has been turned into a museum with a beautiful garden. Coming from a musical family, thanks to my mom, it was wonderful to hear and see the workings of such a talented musician. Not to mention the fun bubble chairs where you can ...
This morning we went on a walking tour of the beautiful city of Erfurt. The Augustinian Monastery where Luther started his monastic life was one of our destinations. From 1505 - 1511 this is where Luther was a monk and read his first service. Sunday evening we will return to St. Augustine's church to have a reformation songfest service.
We were also able to see the enchanting Merchant's Bridge also known as Kr�merbr�cke. This is where a lot ...

Wisteria in Austin
Is it possible to grow Wisteria here? I'm going to be doing some landscaping this month and will be cruising for stones and plants tomorrow with my designer so he can make up a list. I'd love to have a Wisteria growing over an arbor/pergola if possible, but I don't know if it just gets too cold here. I fell in love with one last year in the CA wine country!
Wisteria will definitely grow in Austin and in some cases, it can become somewhat invasive. There are two kinds of Wisteria and one is better than the other in terms of not being so invasive.--Sadly, I don't remember which is which, but I'll bet someone else here will know.
I don't know where you live in Austin, but if you are driving south on Brodie Lane past Slaughter toward 1626, there's a bunch of it planted on the west side of the road. Of course, right now it wouldn't be in bloom.
Good luck!
Look for the native, non-invasive kind. It's called American Wisteria, scientific name Wisteria frutescens. I think that's how it's spelled, anyway! It grows quickly - I bought two, a color variety called "Amethyst Falls," this past spring and they grew about four feet! Very nice plants. Just be sure they're in full sun, they don't get exposed to high-nitrogen fertilizer, and you only prune right after they bloom. (They'll still grow otherwise, but they won't bloom as well.)
I agree mommyfox, and you spelled it correctly.
Very Invasive:
Chinese & Japanese Wisteria
Wisteria sinensis / Wisteria floribunda
 Exotic wisteria vines impair and overtake native shrubs and trees through strangling or shading
 Plant a non-invasive native alternative - Texas Wisteria Wisteria frutescens
Texas Wisteria is, in my opinion, prettier than either of the exotic wisterias.
Here is a list of some more invasives.
Sometimes wisteria is clipped and trained into a tree-like standard in the middle of a lawn - guess the mower chops off those sneaky sprouts.
Mandib, if you're interested, back in 2007 I blogged some photos of out-of-control wisteria in NW Austin.

what was your OG? are you kegging or bottling?
This looks exactly like the kind of mold that grows in bottles that have not be cleaned after they were used. A friend of me brought me a few cases of bombers from where he works and all the bottles that contained bottle fermented beers had this at the bottom. The other ones had normal gunk.
It smells revolting and is the sign of something getting its funk on in your wort. Did you siphon out of the kettle ? Your tubing/equipment might be harbouring whatever produced the floaties.
Interesting thought on the tubing/equipment. I siphoned from my bottling bucket that I used as a primary (I've used it in the past as a primary), to my glass secondary.
It might be time to buy new beer lines, just for grins.
well, i'm embarrassed.
i can hear the "i told you so"'s now
i didn't make time to rack it into the keg, checked it 10 mins ago and found that. :sigh:
There was a member of on the "Yeast Free brewing using recombinant DNA?" thread this morning who claims to be a microbiologist, cristopher1260. They only had a couple of posts, both on that thread. So I don't know, but maybe if you pointed him to the pictures he might be able to take a shot at telling you whats in there
I've been following this topic for awhile, are you going to rack it and keg it? And did you ever post the OG?
bummer, hope it works out
I know you can use Campden tabs to kill yeast and stop fermentation. I am not sure if this would kill mold too, but I think I read it kills all infections. If it still tastes fine you could still salvage it, by racking it an letting it sit for a few days with Campden tabs. Then you could add fresh yeast to finish this off.
I just kegged it. Worst case I dump it.
It didn't smell funky while racking, maybe it'll be okay
Capden doesn't really kill off yeast, not sure that would work. If you're getting mold my guess is you didn't have good primary fermentation in the first case. I still haven't seen an OG/FG from the original poster, but my guess is not much was fermented allowing mold to grow.
According to the NB directions it was a really low OG beer anyway. My OG measured 1027 which was low-ish
Did you taste any samples? It definitely looks like mold to me, but I've only done 3 AG brews and none of them were lambics. When you're brewing lambic I guess anything can happen. I hope everything works out for you.

Studies of visual system development have suggested that competition driven by activity is essential for refinement of initial topographically diffuse neuronal projections into their precise adult patterns. This has led to the assertion that this process may shape development of topographic connections throughout the nervous system. Because the cat auditory system is very immature at birth, with auditory nerve neurons initially exhibiting very low or no spontaneous activity, we hypothesized that the auditory nerve fibers might initially form topographically broad projections within the cochlear nuclei (CN), which later would become topographically precise at the time when adult-like frequency selectivity develops. In this study, we made restricted injections of Neurobiotin, which labeled small sectors (300–500 μm) of the cochlear spiral ganglion, to study the projections of auditory nerve fibers representing a narrow band of frequencies. Results showed that projections from the basal cochlea to the CN are tonotopically organized in neonates, many days before the onset of functional hearing and even prior to the development of spontaneous activity in the auditory nerve. However, results also demonstrated that significant refinement of the topographic specificity of the primary afferent axons of the auditory nerve occurs in late gestation or early postnatal development. Projections to all three subdivisions of the CN exhibit clear tonotopic organization at or before birth, but the topographic restriction of fibers into frequency band laminae is significantly less precise in perinatal kittens than in adult cats. Two injections spaced ≥2 mm apart in the cochlea resulted in labeled bands of projecting axons in the anteroventral CN that were 53% broader than would be expected if they were proportional to those in adults, and the two projections were incompletely segregated in the youngest animals studied. Posteroventral CN (PVCN) projections (normalized for CN size) were 36% broader in neonates than in adults, and projections from double injections in the youngest subjects were nearly fused in the PVCN. Projections to the dorsal division of the CN were 32% broader in neonates than in adults when normalized, but the dorsal CN projections were always discrete, even at the earliest ages studied. J.

SnipSnap Coupon App
★ Brand new on Android ★ 2013 About.com Reader's Choice Winner - Best Shopping App ★ 2013 Appy Award for Best Finance App ★
Toss out the scissors and let your Android camera do the clipping. Simply snap a picture of any printed offer, and SnipSnap magically converts all the text, images and barcodes into a mobile-optimized offer, which you can redeem off your screen.
Gather up all the coupons you have lying around. Whether they're from the Sunday paper, the mail, or just ones you found buried in your purse or couch, SnipSnap will mobilize them in a matter of minutes. When you get to a store, pull up the coupon barcode, promo code, or photograph and present to the cashier to redeem.
Don't have any coupons handy to scan? Use the Discover screen of the app to see what coupons your friends and family have snipped. You can also snip from or follow our featured coupon bundles, and search our massive database of coupons to find one on demand. Best of all: We'll remind you when you enter a store you have coupons saved for, or when a coupon expiration date is nearing. Aw, snap!
• IN-STORE REMINDERS: When you enter a store, SnipSnap delivers a push notification to remind you what coupons you have saved there.
• SCANS ALL COUPONS: Whether you get coupons from the newspaper, mail, magazines or elsewhere, you can import all of them into the app.
• FOLLOW FRIENDS: Connect to friends from your address book, Facebook, or Twitter accounts. Option to share your couponing activity to Facebook.
• EXPIRATION DATE ALERTS: Get notified when your coupons' expiration dates are approaching.
• STORE SUCCESS RATING: See how successful other users have been in redeeming at your favorite stores.
Before you buy anything online or off, search first to see if there's coupons for it. SnipSnap is great for finding and loading coupons into your mobile phone.
—The Today Show
SnipSnap lets you say goodbye to physical coupons.
—Leanna Lofte, iMore
It's the ideal companion to those ready to leave behind the old shoebox and scissors for something a little more mobile.
—The Daily
SnipSnap is easy to use with a beautiful user interface. Plus, it's useful in the context of daily life. ... This app is a must download.
—Kathryn Hough, techli.com
The moment I managed to get 10% lopped off of a bill at an Indian restaurant thanks to a coupon someone else shared sealed the deal — I'm a couponer now (my girlfriend will be thrilled).
—Chris Velazco, TechCrunch
Now that I am using SnipSnap, my fruitless junk-drawer searches are a thing of the past.
—Matt Elliot, CNET
LOCATION REPORTING: SnipSnap gives you the option to be notified about coupons based on your location. This feature uses a method for reporting location changes in the background. Note that this is only invoked and reported upon a significant location change event -- e.g. moving between two cell towers. As a result it does not typically cause the battery to be drained (unless you are, say, driving all day in the car). Location reporting can be easily disabled via the "Location Notifications" toggle in the Settings screen.
** Works at most retail, restaurant and local businesses. Manufacturer coupons (redeemed at grocery stores) are not supported. **

US Tests System To Evade Foreign Web Censorship 219
from the worthy-objective dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
China and Iran don't read slashdot.
So the obvious way to maintain such secrecy is have it posted to slashdot.
this looks like an interesting and useful technology for us, can we please have it too?
The US Citizens
The US government is covertly testing technology in China and Iran
Not covert any more.
It was revealed a while ago that Richard Stallman doesn't browse the web. If he wants to read a particular page he sends a command to a server that retrieves the page and emails it to him (really!). At the time, he was roundly mocked on Slashdot. But now we see that, once again, he was in the vanguard, living the future.
2010 will be the year of the unkempt beard. Mark my words.
Nobody's gonna believe that computers are intelligent until they start coming in late and lying about it.

I'm not sure I can explain The Uniform Project any better than the woman herself, so here is a quote from the website:
Starting May 2009, I have pledged to wear one dress for one year as an exercise in sustainable fashion. Here's how it works: There are 7 identical dresses, one for each day of the week. Every day I will reinvent the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of accoutrements, the majority of which will be vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies. Think of it as wearing a daily uniform with enough creative license to make it look like I just crawled out of the Marquis de Sade's boudoir.
The Uniform Project is also a year-long fundraiser for the Akanksha Foundation, a grassroots movement that is revolutionizing education in India. At the end of the year, all contributions will go toward Akanksha's School Project to fund uniforms and other educational expenses for slum children in India.
So freaking awesome! Check out all her outfits so far here.

Earlier today, Debbie Schramer, the creator (along with her husband) of these delicate fairy houses, was kind enough to comment on one of my posts and leave her website! I am so glad she did, or else I may have never seen these lovely little creations! Aren't they so cool?! I wish I was tiny enough to live in one! They are amazingly detailed as well. I highly recommend going to her blog and clicking on the pictures she has posted there. They are huge, and do more justice to all the carefully created interiors! (She also has a lot of great photo inspiration on her blog!) I can only imagine the time and effort required to make these pretty homes! I love it!
Thanks for the heads-up Debbie!

We looked last week at the Fan Club Tube and our favorite color was Hot Coral, by a lot! It got 233 votes out of 566!
This week I have been checking out some of our latest sweatshirts. (It may have something to do with how rainy it's been here lately!) We have a lot of cute styles, and I'm interested to see what tickles your fancy! See a few of our sweatshirts below!
First look at the We The Free Thermal Hoodie in Turquoise.
Next is our Draping Crochet Hoodie!
Now check out the Divided Highway Pullover in Melon!
Finally, here's our Long Sleeve Zip Up Hoodie in Ivory Heather.
So what do you guys think? Which sweatshirt is your favorite?

speaking of hoodies and sweatshirts, my favorite is still the Solid French Terry Hoodie but its unavailable online. any info as to if it will be back? p.s. i voted for the thermal hoodie! :)
I'm really enjoying the set Demoniac Babble by Estelle Hanania! Partly it's because I like the costumes so much – wow. I'd love to walk around in one of those! The pictures have a really interesting feel though – click here for more!

Luren of our visual display team is part of a really cool and special exhibition going on at Copy Gallery right now! It's called A Room – A Loom, and you are all invited to come take part!
Some words from Luren:
The gallery has been converted into a giant loom. It stretches from one wall to the other and spans corner-to-corner. There is no space for you to move without becoming part of this huge apparatus!
The loom itself is really simple, and anyone can be taught to to use it in about 5 minutes.
You are invited to gather together the material of your choice and to contribute to the weaving of this collaborative textile.
A Room-A Loom began as a site-specific weaving experiment by Julia Sherman at workspace, a small project space in East L.A. Materials used thus far in the L.A. loom have included weeds, old clothing, Halloween costumes, computer cables, bubble wrap, plastic bags, John Baldessari's toilet paper, Sheep Dog fur, raw wool, yarn, pants, jeans, blankets, burlap sacks, palm fronds, pom-poms and more. In mid-June workspace will host an reception to exhibit their final piece.
Copy is the first of several project spaces spanning the country and beyond to undertake A Room – A Loom. Eventually, there will be a group exhibition with all of the weavings from the various participating spaces.
Check out this link for a Google calendar with times that you can come and weave!
Luren and other members of Copy Gallery will also be available at other times – contact email@example.com to make an appointment!

Here is the next installment of our video from the Company of Thieves show last weekend at We The Free! This song is called The Fire Song. See the first video here, and our fun interview with them here! Enjoy!
- -Jun 13, 2009, 12:50AM
this is my favourite song of theirs!! thanks for posting! i'm so excited you guys are featuring them. i got to see these lovely people at compass:north music festival a few weeks ago and it was AMAZING!
You may remember a bit more than a week ago when these shorts appeared in one of the Office Style posts. They are vintage by Steel Jeans, and quite of a few of you asked about them – I really liked them too! As you can see above, Courtney, the owner of the shorts, lent them to me for a day so that I could look them over and prepare to make my own pair! I did, and it was super easy! Here's how I did it!
First I color-copied Courtney's shorts, so that I could have a real-sized pattern of the patches on the front. It also really helped to have a guide for placement! I have posted the pictures I used on Flickr so you can use them too! Click on the picture, then original size to get the whole huge picture! Print them out and you have the patterns too!
Next I went home and picked out a pair of shorts I wanted to alter, and some pretty fabric for the patches!
You might notice that my fabric is very wrinkly! I highly recommend ironing any fabric you use for this project, but I don't have an iron, so as for me, I just had to wing it! I folded the fabric I chose for the patches in half, and then drew an outline of one of the patterns on it. You could also use each pattern and draw each side separately.
My shorts are quite a bit bigger than Courtney's, so I drew my outline out a bit from the outline of the pattern to compensate.
Then I cut the patches out, and pinned them to the shorts! I used the color copy of Courtney's shorts as a guide.
Next, I sewed them down! I used a sewing machine for this part, but I think it would also be very easy to sew this by hand. With the sewing machine I had to be very careful not to sew down the pockets of my shorts!
Halfway finished!
Ta Da! Finished!
They turned out pretty good, right? I love them!
If any of you make shorts too, send us a picture of you wearing them at firstname.lastname@example.com! I would love to see how yours turn out!

i'm making a pair of these right now (soon as i get up). i'm going to put fabric on the back too! you'll get pictures soon.
These geometric mixed media pieces by Jeff Perrone are really interesting. He uses all kinds of things to create them – mud cloth, buttons, sand, wood, etc… I really like the buttons especially. See more here!

How cool is this amphibious bicycle created by Li Jin? She attached old water jugs to serve as pontoons and added what are essentially paddles to the back wheel! You can see her riding it on the water in Hubei Province in China above. Reportedly the bike is still usable on land too, without further modification. I want to try it!

text: We are going on a last minute trip and wonder if there are any chances of getting to eat at BOG. There are 2 of us going 6/12-6/14 and of course the online system shows no availability. Has anyone had any luck with finding something at the last minute? Do they save anything for walk ups? Since I assume we will be shut out, does anyone have recommendations for other dining in the MK? I don't really want character dining but would like to eat in the park. Thanks

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
The problem with the iPad is that it gently lures you away from getting any work done. You look up from its gorgeous screen to suddenly discover that it is well past midnight. All you've done is watched other people's sites, read their observations, admired their pictures or stared at any other way in which they expressed themselves.
Admittedly the thing did inspire me write down some first impressions and rant about how stupid iTunes handles iPad back-ups. I can only hope that it will become much more of a tool instead of a (web)-TV once I get past the initial fooling around phase.
