These curtains are pretty but they are VERY sheer. Do not order them and expect them to block any light. The negative for me was that they are so sheer they actually take on some o the color of the wall and in return, are not as white as I hoped. The brown pattern is not actually brown, but a burn out pattern in the fabric. Overall, they are pretty (although not sure if they are worth the price), but they were not exactly what I was looking for and ended up returning them.
I got this in brown/white and I am really pleased with these curtains. I'm also using them in a guest room and they look great - brighten things up and give some definition without being too heavy. Agree that they don't do much for light blocking - II have a separate draw shade that sits inside the frame so I actually like that these let more light in. I didn't quite understand what was meant by "burn out process" in the product description. Basically the designed area looks like a very fine mesh up close. From a distance, it looks like the brown design as pictured. With the light coming through the designed areas look more translucent.
White is probably the only color that is consistent no matter what. White is white. Off-white is a different color, as is cream or ivory, which would fall into the category of 'Not White.' These panels are cream or ivory. They are totally not white. At all. I returned it, and was made to pay the $$$ return shipping. This has been my first negative experience with Overstock. I really expected them to stand behind their product and they just didn't.
These chocolate and cream panels are exactly what my dining room needed. And they are complemented perfectly by the Walnut 8-foot fluted rod with pineapple finials also purchased from Overstock! A nice surprise with these panels is the hidden tabs behind the rod pocket; I chose to use the tabs but either pocket or tabs work fine with up to a 2-inch diameter pole. Highly recommend these panels (and may buy more) - they filter light beautifully. My only wish is that they were available in 96" length too... I'll keep watching because with Overstock, you never know! :)
These are very pretty and soft. They are sheer so they do not block a lot of light but they brighten up my space and they are very neutral.
I got my curtains and they are nice. The material is much thinner than expected; but, I do like the pattern on them and I am keeping them for my living room area. They are out of the package but not hung yet since I am having my windows replaced shortly, no need to put them up now only to take them back down.
These curtains are beautiful, they are sheer but exactly what I wanted! LOVE!
I bought them for the master bathroom. They let in the right amount of light while maintaining privacy.
I hung these curtains in my bedroom, which has a brown/blue color scheme. They are really pretty, but much more sheer than I expected. I have blinds on my windows too, so I'm not concerned about privacy, but they do allow in a lot of sunlight. Also, on very bright days, you can barely see the pattern where the light shines through. I still like them, though, so I'm keeping them.
Love these panels. We are using them over our back door so they are slightly more sheer than I wouldve liked but I loved the design too much to care!

Hazardous Obstacles on the Sunset MUP
Back in Feb, I was riding on the Hwy 26 MUP between Portland and Beaverton, when I noticed that the Worst Day of the Year Ride's route had been marked along my commute route. However, no effort was made to identify three hazardous street lamp bases that jut into the MUP. It seems that whenever I ride through there, it's inevitable that someone will be walking, or cycling against me, so I need to keep to the right as I'm cruising downhill. It got me thinking...
2000 riders, going past these things 2 or 3 abreast, and we've got an accident waiting to happen. I brought this to ODOT, but they didn't do anything. I also informed the ride's planners, and they could only temporarily mark the street lamps. Not long afterwards, the markings were taken down, or wore off. So, back in June, I applied some reflective tape to the lampposts, and I tried painting the bases with pavement marking paint (I also superglued some reflectors to it, but they aren't holding up). The paint faded... (continued in pt 2) Last edited by K'Tesh; 09-26-2011 at 10:35 PM. |
Hazardous Obstacles on the Sunset MUP
Continued from pt 1
The paint faded... So, I obtained some self-adhesive, foil backed, reflective lane marking tape... I used up all that I had (only was able to do two of the three, but I got the worst of them). Let's see how it holds up. My next idea is to use some of the reflective glass microbeads that I have scooped up over the years, mix it with some AB Urethane casting material and pigment, and pour that over the things if ODOT doesn't do something soon. Can we get a permanent solution to this installed? Perhaps something like this? It's a 4" wide thermoplastic stripe that warns cyclists of the hazard ahead. Replies are welcomed. Thanks Last edited by K'Tesh; 11-18-2011 at 06:57 PM. |
Q: Back up on the Hwy 26 MUP
Any idea how your fixes are being removed?
Who built this path and who is ultimately responsible for its maintenance? Is this responsible party different from the party responsible for the obstructing light poles themselves? I find myself wondering if there isn't some bureaucratic turf battle over what is allowed to be done to fix this. As a geek I've got a current copy of the MUTCD and have full sized and situationally scaled templates of the mandated signage that would be required by law if these light pole bases protruded in to a "real" road. The fixes I have pondered would be scale and speed appropriate for this MUP environment. There area many useful engineering equations in the MUTCD. I "found" some unused pieces of Corex on roadsides that I intended to use as the sign board. Signs would be similar to Section 2C.64 Object Markers for Obstructions. I recovered the composite spring loaded spars from some trashed pop-up safety cone "Wet Floor" signs. The idea being that the spring portion would be at the base so when someone came by and hit the sign it would give way. Looking in the workplace safety catalogs I figured out how to mount the sign bases to concrete such that it would take a hammer and chisel to remove the base. Even tested a way to keep the steel spring flexible but protected from weather and rusting. I've got this idea about "painting" road markings (per Section 3B.10 Approach Markings for Obstructions) for the obstructions. In this case "painting" would involve abrading a strip of the concrete where I would embed a thin layer of retro reflective beads in white tinted epoxy. If done right the epoxy and reflective material would be embedded in the surface still being visible but allowing traction: like chewing gum. All this planning is for naught if someone is removing these things.
Knowledge is NOT a crime. |
Fixes being removed? Or just wearing off?
The paint just simply faded. To get the adhesive of the foil lane markings to stick, I decided to scrub the bases with a wire brush. I don't know how effective this will be, as it is a "temporary" lane marking and I'm out of CA glue to try to seal the edges. ODOT is the party responsible for the construction and maintenance of the MUP, but for some reason, that I can't figure out, they don't see the risk. I doubt that there's a concerted effort to counter my attempts to improve the visibility on their part. As to the options posed by you, I'm going to have to investigate, as I'm not entirely familiar with some of them. [EDIT] Quote:
I've sent another one of my shotgun emails to several agencies, members of the press, and injury attorneys. I doubt that this can be now be blown off as easily, now that 15 pairs of eyes (not including forum members) are now focused on the issue. [/EDIT] Last edited by K'Tesh; 09-22-2011 at 11:43 PM. |
Ooh, Ahh... The Language of Traffic Engineers...
Thanks for doing your homework q`Tzal!
I'm going to use this in my next email... Quote:
Oh wait a few hours
I'll have some cruddy CGI mockups.

Maybe ODOT is misjudging the downhill speed there if they don't seem to think its an issue. Its not such a big issue if that was the uphill side, but that is a really fast section going westward, and it feels very narrow at those posts if there is any oncoming traffic.
It would look something like this as a minimum:
A whole hog implementation, how I think an equivalent obstruction (~ 3'-4' ) might be handled on TV Hwy, would look something like this: Of course I think that the DOT responsible should be doing this but it seems that designating anything as an official bikeway comes with the assumption that it needs NO further official enhancement other than pavement. I'm no engineer but what I've plotted out seems in spec and something ought to be done.

New night photos, and my vote...
Went out there with more paint (Rust-Oleum Professional Traffic Striping Paint), some reflective film (the yellow stripes), a (found) cat-eye reflector, and some glass microbeads to try to improve the visibility of this trail-side hazard.
Photo was taken with a helmet mounted light source, not a flash (camera's is burned out). Even with the improvements, it's still not demonstrating the hazard to cyclists well enough. Quote:
In looking over this... I think you missed something, this is a raised obstruction, so the math should be L = (W+1) S. As for the "S" I've been known to approach 40mph on this decent Oh! You spotted something I missed... That sudden edge on the left. The streets are below the height of the path, and it just drops off, no warning. Thanks for the images q'Tzal! K'Tesh Last edited by K'Tesh; 01-15-2012 at 10:16 PM. |
While researching for those images I noticed that I had not read through the entire bicycle section, only pieces.
I am doing so and noticed the equation as well. You failed to take in to account one thing about my draft images: your photos have no scale. I could not reasonably have made anything other than an approximation. I was tempted to take my 100' tape measure out to get a propper engineering plot until I remembered that PortlandMaps.org will most likely have all the details plotted out in their maps database. Also: with all this traffic sign wonkery shouldn't we relocate this line of conversation to an "All about West side" thread?

Matching a Vessel Sink to Your Bathroom
Part of the challenge of remodeling is blending fixtures and hardware, such as a bathroom sink, with other elements of your room decor. Unique bath fixtures, such as vessel sinks, can introduce special challenges. A vessel sink is not meant to blend into the countertop as other bathroom sinks do. It's often a focal point for the room. Below are some tips on incorporating a bathroom vessel sink into your bath decor.

How much of international trade costs can be mitigated through implementation of trade facilitation measures and policies? What measures and policies affect trade costs the most? This paper presents findings from an initial analysis of new non-tariff trade cost estimates and their determinants, based on a bilateral database of comprehensive trade cost maintained by ESCAP. Among the top trade facilitating economies are Malaysia, the United States, China, Republic of Korea and Thailand, with Japan and Germany following closely.
The similarities yet differences across South Asian countries, and their differential response to recent food and oil price shocks, gives a useful opportunity to better understand the structure of inflation in these economies. Analysis of the internal and external balance and evidence on demand and supply shocks implies output is largely demand determined but inefficiencies on the supply side perpetuate inflation. Procyclical policy amplifies the negative impact of supply shocks on output.
While much has been said about the need to promote intraregional trade and the importance of reducing associated trade costs, quantitative estimates of such costs have been lacking. A new comprehensive measure of international trade costs is applied in this paper to calculate ad valorem trade costs within and between 4 Asian subregions, including ASEAN and SAARC. Extra-regional trade costs of the 4 subregions with free trade areas outside Asia, such as NAFTA and the EU, as well as their trade costs with China, India and Japan are also calculated.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is about companies operating in a manner that is sustainable, cognizant of their responsibility to the wider community in which they are located. CSR is more than simply acts of philanthropy or allocating a proportion of its earnings to worthy causes;it is strategic in nature, and is about how a business actually functions.
Climate change is one of the greatest environmental issues of our time and the Asia-Pacific region is already experiencing its adverse impacts. Studies suggest that the costs of inaction on reducing the consumption of fossil fuels, the main source of climate change, would be many times the costs of action. This report stresses the need to take decisive steps quickly to get the developing countries in this region on course to make inroads in the global effort to combat climate change and achieve sustainable development and green growth.
The Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Report (APTIR) is a recurrent publication prepared by the Trade and Investment Division. It aims to deepen understanding of regional trends and developments in trade and investment; emerging issues in trade, investment and trade facilitation policies; and impacts of these policies on countries' abilities to meet the challenges of achieving inclusive and sustainable development. APTIR 2010 describes and analyses the developments in both intraregional and interregional trade and investment since mid-2009. It is organized in six sections.
Most papers in this volume are a result from the Research Workshop "Rising non-tariff protectionism and crisis recovery" which was held on 14 and 15 December 2009 as part of the Macao Regional Knowledge Hub (MARKHUB) workshop series and was organized by the secretariats of ESCAP, UNCTAD and WTO. MARKHUB research workshops were the main modality of the Macao Regional Knowledge Hub project funded by the Government of Macao, China and implemented by the Trade and Investment Division of ESCAP from 2006 to 2010.
This paper discusses the potential for cross-South Pacific trade between selected Southeast Asian and Latin American economies. The objective of this discussion is to identify obstacles for more intensive trade between the observed countries. Firstly, the paper reviews trends in trade flows and trade patterns between the selected economies, and by using several trade performance indicators it finds the level of trade still relatively low. It then discusses the possible reasons for this state of affairs.
2010 has seen an impressive recovery of the Asia-Pacific region from the Great Recession of 2008/09. Led by the large economies of China and India, output growth in the region rebounded in 2009 and gathered further strength in 2010. But the region is faced with a weakening of growth in the developed economies which are grappling with a combination of weak household demand and fiscal retrenchment.
The region needs to invest in an efficient system of regional infrastructure for a seamless Asia to emerge. This will provide the foundation for Asian common markets and facilitate the creation of an eventual pan-Asian community. None of this will be easy, but it will have to be done by building institutions, harmonizing policies and regulations, developing and aligning standards, and, most crucially, attracting the required capital to the right kinds of regional projects.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Got myself a standard 4RSB, wanted to compare it to the standard 4RSmB.
Best regards, Tony
'12 GTS!! Not a purchase, but a late birthday gift from a great friend!
GTS '12 that the store held for me. They didn't get any WLW or Saz so neither did I.
Found 2 Saz18 2012 and picked up an Elmer T. Lee for good measure.
Good to hear. I am not in love with the bottle of Bookers I have, but I am hoping the age on the Bowman gives it more character. I love the Stagg I have had, so I am hoping this is in the same vein.
I also came across a lonely bottle of VW 10/107, which I purchased - have not had that expression yet.
Got my Old Gentlemanly Dude 15 year today. A HUGE thanks to TPS for making these accessible to those of us in starved states and a big EFF-Yoo-Tu to Young's Market in WA state.

Principal's file reveals legitimate complaints, but no 'smoking gun'
Quincy High School's energetic and outspoken principal admits that she sometimes strays from the mainstream when it comes to doing what she thinks is best for her school.
Dr. Sue Segura's often unconventional approach to her job has endeared her to many teachers, students and parents. That is clearly apparent by the outpouring of support she has received the past two months.
But her style doesn't sit well with everyone — including some of her bosses at Plumas Unified School District. Segura is the first to admit that she isn't perfect. And the proof can be found in her personnel file, which includes several complaints and a stern letter of reprimand from the superintendent for her inappropriate choice of words with a student.
As promised, the school district hand-delivered a copy of Segura's personnel file to Feather Publishing on May 10. We requested the file after Segura was essentially fired March 7. Officially, she wasn't offered a contract for the 2013-14 school year after a "no confidence" vote by the school board.
The board and superintendent declined to explain their decision despite the community's overwhelming show of support for Segura. The information gap in this case was so glaring that Feather Publishing felt compelled to petition the school district for a copy of the file. We believed the public's right to know trumped a public employee's right to privacy. To the school district's credit, it agreed.
We didn't request Segura's complete file, just copies of any complaints or disciplinary actions. The district assured us the file also contained commendations and other documents complimentary of the principal.
We assumed, like many others in the community, that Segura's file might contain a potentially career-ending infraction. At the very least, it might explain the reason for the "no confidence" decision.
The 86 pages we received did include some legitimate complaints from parents regarding how the school handled incidents with their kids. The file included incidents of Segura not following district policy.
What the file did not include were any names of parents, teachers or students. The district painstakingly blacked out all of that information. It was a very sensitive and time-consuming job. We commend the district for taking the time to redact that information while still providing us with readable documents that included the necessary information. For our part, Feather Publishing decided not to publish details included in the file. Many of the incidents have already been discussed in a public forum.
But what the file also lacked was the so-called "smoking gun." We couldn't find an infraction that, on its own, merited Segura losing her job.
After further review, the school board came to the same conclusion last month. The district is expected to offer Segura a conditional contract next year. She should be receiving that one-year contract along with the county's other school principals in June.
Segura is reportedly scheduled to meet Superintendent Micheline Miglis for a closed-door one-on-one session at the end of the month. The "conditions" attached to Segura's contract will probably be one of the topics on the table.
We hope another topic will be communication. Our school district is small enough that our principals and superintendent should all be on a first-name basis. They should be able to put personal issues aside and call each other anytime to discuss problems before they get out of hand.
The past two months have been stressful for Segura, Miglis, the school board and many of the students at Quincy High. Hopefully, the lessons learned can be applied going forwar

You might be forgiven if, upon watching this video of Sarah Palin meeting with and talking to heads of state, you think to yourself, "But, Sarah Palin has never address the United Nations!" Because we did. The video mashes up some actual audio of Palin discussing foreign policy and the religious case for "Drill, Baby, Drill" with footage of "Palin" discussing those things with heads of state, as she might be called to do as VP (or, God forbid, President). It might be the scariest thing you see all Halloween. Click on the picture at left to watch. [AdGabber]Click to view

So, I have been searching for a rug for under my kitchen table forever. I have an anthropologie reclaimed table with white modern eames chairs. I had my heart set on a overdyed rug but with 3 kids (2 still in diapers) I wasn't about to spend thousands to have PB and J all over it. I took a chance on this after reading about it on many many many current design blogs which I follow. Its an amazing value and anchors the room very well with the bold pattern. And the thing I love most about it is it has a rubber backing so unlike many flatweaves which I bought and everyone slipped on, this stays well in place and i haven't even put a pad down yet. As for the color, yes it has a TINGE of steel blue in it in the sun but I would never ever call it a blue. It is a charcoal grey. It does not have a blackish cast to it which is maybe what others were expecting to have for charcoal. Oh and the white is not a true white but ivory white-- its NOT as dark as cream or yellowy like a cream so don't worry. It will work with whites. Looks very modern contemporary, awesome! I have lots of chevron and ikat patterns in the adjacent room. It looks very high end. For the price, if it only lasts a year or so given the abuse of toddlers spilling stuff, I will be more than pleased for the price. You won't be disappointed.
As a designer, I'm always concerned that what I see online is what I get and I tend to rely heavily on detailed reviews when considering a product. I ordered this rug in the navy, and blues can be tricky. One review stated it was a royal navy and that gave me the confidence that it would work in my application. It was an accurate description of a beautiful, clean and pure navy blue, without a purplish or blue green cast. The design is classic, classy and attractive without overwhelming your room. As for shedding, it does, but not as much as many other wool rugs I've purchased in the past. Totally worthwhile in my opinion. Know yourself, however. If you'll go crazy seeing fuzzies on the rug till the initial stage passes, this may not be the choice for you. Would I buy it again? Absolutely.
I bought this rug in gray. Luckily, when I ordered it, I knew what to expect from other reviews which stated that the gray rug is actually a much lighter gray than it looks in the picture. This was definitely the case, as it looks black in the picture. It's a medium shade of gray, and the pattern is an ivory color (it looks more white in the picture). The rug was delivered within a few days of my order and, overall it's thick, heavy and very high quality. I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase!!
Bought this rug to upgrade our living room. It appears to be well made, pills a bit, but overall, was exactly what we were looking for. Got this on sale for somewhere in the $$$ range, so the price was right. What I wasn't anticipating was that this rug would get torn apart by my cat (she still has her claws). Unlike every other rug in the house, which must not have loops, and are machine made, this hand made rug can't withstand tugging claws. Loops pull, some completely out. I'm going to try to repair it, and move it to a less cat-travelled room, but within a couple of days of having it, it's really ruined. Doesn't stand up at all. So, if you don't have pets, I'd really recommend it. If you do, keep looking.
This is a gorgeous rug! I squealed with delight when it came, it was prettier than I hoped it would be. We have it in the sage green color, which is a nice neutral-that-isn't tan. It's very plush and feels wonderful underfoot. I bought it to go on the play side of our great room-our tiny house has an open floor plan and one part of it is dedicated to children's toys. I wanted something pleasing to the eyes of both kids and adults, and something we would all want to flop on for playtime. It's perfect for this purpose, with the added benefit that my three year old son uses the trellis print as a road for his trucks. The rug is quite a shedder. I've vacuumed it daily, and it collects massive pills that look awful and get everywhere. I expected that from a new wool rug at first. Now that we've had it for a couple of months the shedding has slowed way down. The rug only needs vacuuming every few days. I'd do that anyway with three kids under five! It also shows every spill, since it is such a simple design. I would buy it again even with these downsides.
Put this rug in my guest bedroom, very nice quality and color. Really like the textural effect, and its nice and thick. I feel like I got a very good value.
pretty gray/blue rug that sits in the dining room. nice contrast to the light gray walls and dark gray chairs!
Very cute hand-hooked rug is a good quality and large size for the price.
I really like this rug. However it is not very soft and does shed EVERYWHERE for a while. I got the blue grey, and it's definitely navy, NOT any grey.
The rug is perfect . The color & texture is what I expected. It warms up a large, tile floored room in Florida.

Common Questions About Divorce
Authored By: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid - Austin
Can I represent myself in a divorce?
Yes. Get a lawyer if you can, though. Divorces can be complicated. This is especially true if there are custody, support or property issues. Be prepared if you must represent yourself. Take your witnesses, papers and evidence to the hearing.
Do I need to get a divorce?
There are two kinds of marriage in Texas: formal and informal. If you want to end either one of these kinds of marriage, you need to get a divorce.
A formal marriage is when you were married in a church or by a justice of the peace.
An informal marriage is also called "common-law marriage."
"Common-law marriage" means you had three things:
- You and your husband or wife agreed to be married
- You and your husband or wife lived together in Texas
- You and your husband acted like you were married
What if we got married in Mexico, or in another state?
If you marry someone in Mexico (or some other country or state), the marriage is also valid in the United States, and a divorce would be required in order to dissolve the marriage. Regardless of where you were married, you can get a divorce in Texas if you or your spouse meet the Texas six-month residency requirement.
How long do I have to live in Texas to file for divorce?
You can file for divorce in Texas if you OR your husband or wife has lived in Texas for six months. One of you also has to live in the county where you want to file for divorce for 90 days.
What is "no-fault" divorce?
You don't need "fault" to file for divorce in Texas. Just one of you has to believe that the relationship can't be fixed.
What are other "grounds" for divorce?
In Texas, you can ask the court to give you the divorce because it was somebody's fault. The "grounds" are: adultery, cruelty, abandonment (for at least one year), convicted for a felony (and served at least one year), living apart (for three years), committed to a mental institution (for three years with little or no hope of recovery).
When a court gives a divorce for "grounds," then the court can give more of the community property to the "innocent" spouse.
Is there legal separation in Texas?
No. There is no "legal separation" in Texas. Instead, when you file for divorce, the court can give you some temporary orders that try to keep things stable while the divorce is pending. The temporary orders can cover child support, visitation, custody, who lives where, who drives what car, and things like that.
How long does it take to get a divorce in Texas?
You have to wait 60 days from the day you file for divorce for the court to give you a divorce. It could take longer, if one of the people wants to fight about something (like property or custody).
What does a divorce do?
A divorce does five things:
- It dissolves your marriage.
- It divides your community property (and debt).
- It determines child custody.
- It determines child visitation.
- It determines child support.
A divorce can also change your name (back to your maiden name). It can sometimes order alimony (alimony is called "maintenance" in Texas). It an also enter temporary or permanent orders to the husband and wife about not bothering each other anymore.
Can I get alimony?
Alimony in Texas is called "maintenance," and it is very hard to get. There are two ways to get alimony in Texas. The first way is that you have to have been married for at least ten years, and the spouse asking for alimony is not able to support himself or herself. The second way is that one of the spouses was convicted of domestic violence within two years of when the divorce was filed. Either way, alimony is usually only good for three years. And, the Court will consider how much money both people have.
What happens to the property that we own?
In the divorce case the Court divides the property that you got during the marriage, unless it is the separate property of one spouse. Separate property is anything you owned before the marriage and property you got during the marriage by gift to you alone or by inheritance. Property that the court can divide in the divorce includes land, buildings, vehicles, bank accounts, pension accounts, furniture, personal belongings and debts (like credit card debts).
The judge (or jury) decides how to divide the property fairly. The court looks at what each person gave to the marriage, and if anyone is at "fault" in the breakup of the marriage. The court looks at the needs of each person.
Can I get part of my spouse's military retirement or civilian pension?
Sometimes. Tell your lawyer about any military or civilian pension or any other benefits your spouse may be entitled to. Do this before the divorce. It is too late after the court signs the divorce decree.
Can I get continued health insurance coverage for myself and my children after my divorce?
Some laws let you continue receiving health insurance coverage (COBRA). You must give the insurance company certain notices. The premium payments must be made. You can ask the court to order your spouse to pay these. Tell your lawyer you need insurance coverage from the other spouse. If the insurance coverage is cut off, you may not be able to get it back.
Can the court order a change of name?
As a part of the final divorce order, the Court can restore a party's prior name. In addition, errors that may exist on a child's birth record can also be corrected in the divorce proceeding.
What can I do if my spouse is hurting or abusing me?
Texas has laws that protect victims of family violence whether they are getting a divorce from their abusive partner or not. If you have already filed for divorce, the court can make emergency orders to protect you and the children. If you have not started the divorce process, you can apply for a "protective order" if you fear that you or your children are in danger. The local women's shelter, county attorney office, district attorney office, and/or Legal Aid office can assist you in obtaining a protective order. To locate the shelter nearest you and to obtain information regarding the various services they offer, please call the national hotline for domestic violence at 1-(800)-799-SAFE (7233).

This quilt has been in my head for a long time. The quilt in my head used linen and soft, romantic colors, so the quilt that resulted is pretty darn close! She finishes off at 68"x72", a great size for a summer nap or picnic. I quilted it with simple diagonal lines using Aurifil thread in beige, and bound it in a print from Little Folks by Anna Maria Horner.
I had a lot of fun playing with these fabrics! It's a bit of Summerlove, new Oval Elements and new Pure Elements, out in March. Thanks to Art Gallery for sending me these, and also a little something for you!
I wanted to write up a quick how-to for this quilt, so that you can make your own! It comes together really fast, and it doesn't take a lot of thinking, so it's perfect for the weekend when we all should be relaxing! It utilizes a checkerboard pattern, alternating between background and print squares. This makes it great for chain-piecing, where you continue to stitch blocks together without clipping your threads in between. So, let's get to it!
Patchwork Picnic Quilt
Sewing Level: Beginner Friendly
- 10 fat quarters (or 3 charm packs, or 1 layer cake)*
- 2 1/4 yards of solid or semi-solid fabric for background
- 1/2 yd of binding fabric
- 4 1/4 yds of backing fabric (or a full/double size bedsheet)
- 2 1/4 yds of batting (76"x80" piece)
- Coordinating thread
Note: 1/4" seam allowances
Finished Size: 68"x72"
*For this quilt you'll need a total of 120 print 5" squares and 120 background 5" squares. You could use more or less fabrics for desired variety!
From fat quarters:
- cut (3) 5"x22" strips
- from these strips cut (4) 5" squares
12 squares per fat quarter for a total of 120 squares.
From background fabric:
- cut (15) 5" x WOF (width of fabric) strips
- from these strips cut (8) 5" squares
Total of 120 squares.
From binding fabric:
- cut (7) 2.5" x WOF strips
1. Sew a 5" print square to a 5" background square. Continue until all the squares are paired up.
2. Sew together pairs of squares, making sure to match up background and print squares. Continue until all the pairs are sewn into strips of four squares.
*I like to use a plastic tub or paper bag to hold my squares as I'm piecing so that I can mix them up and get maximum variety!
3. Sew together sets of four squares, making sure to match up background and print squares. Continue until all the four square sets are sewn into strips of eight squares.
4. Sew together sets of 8 squares, making sure to match up background and print squares. Continue until you have 15 strips of 16 squares each. These are your finished rows!
5. Press your seams to one side, pressing all your rows the same direction.
6. Lay out your quilt, flipping your rows every other row to create the checkerboard pattern above. Label your rows if you'd like! I use scraps of paper and safety pins!
7. Sew together your quilt top, pressing your rows either open or in one direction. Your top is done!
8. To piece your backing, first cut your backing yardage in half. Press. Carefully trim off the selvedges and sew your pieces together lengthwise.
9. Baste (tutorial), quilt, and bind (tutorial)!
Voila! You're done! Enjoy! :)
Giveaway is now closed! I'll announce the winner tomorrow morning! :)
Happy Quilting!

The put granola in my smoothie after I repeatedly told them I could not have the granola. Never going back.
262 Broad Ave., Palisades Park, NJ 07650
No gluten free options besides occasionally a flavor but they desperately need gluten free cones!!!
835 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611
All yogurts are certified GF! Workers not very knowledgeable about toppings, so we steered clear of those. Would have given more stars if employees had any working knowledge of GF.
19 Church St., Montclair, NJ 07042
Natural ingredients. All yogurts I have seen are gluten free. Big potential for cross contamination with toppings though separate spoons are provided for each the area is so tight there is bound to be spillage. So good!!
614 Holleman Drive East, Suite 1150, College Station, TX 77840
I love Red Mango. Many GF options. Too bad they closed! My favorite Frozen Yogurt place gone.
3667 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Space #1-H-094, Las Vegas, NV 89109
Toppings looked gross, lots of cross contamination. We didn't even eat here because of it.
599 W. Main St., Suite B, American Fork, UT 84003
Best yogurt around! Just watch that bone of the toppings have cross contaminated before you chose one.
2065 N. Harris Blvd., Suite A, Layton, UT 84041
Absolutely the very best yogurt ever!!!!
2350 Nesconset Hwy., Suite 700, Stony Brook, NY 11790
Wish they separated the toppings better.
600 Pine St., Seattle, WA 98101
Tasty frozen yogurt. Not specifically GF, and you have to be careful about cross use of utensils in some toppings. Played it safe with a simple fruit topping and it was delicious.
10718 S. River Front Pkwy., South Jordan, UT 84095
The yogart was good, but I felt the choices were limited.
19 Beachwood Rd., Summit, NJ 07901
Tasty, But expensive, and very high sugar content.
364 Maine Mall Road, South Portland, ME 04106
I tried mixing their Nutella froyo with peanut butter froyo...so good! Just be mindful of some of the toppings since they may have gluten in them (I.e. cookie crumbs)
6950 S. Park Center Dr., Salt Lake City, UT 84121
be careful what you order, not all of the options are gluten free. I'd also be careful of the toppings and cross-contamination. They are willing to get fresh items out of the back so don't be afraid to ask if your favorite topping is nestled in with glutenous ones. Absolutely delicious, and with some care safe!
19 Church St., Montclair, NJ 07042
All frozen yogurt is gluten free. The staff is helpful. Potential for cross contamination with toppings. The yogurt is not the best in the area but pretty good.
1129 Lexington Ave., New York, NY 10075
Only complaint I have is sometimes kids who do their own toppings will drop them into others as they put it in their cup. But they tell you right on the label if its gluten free
431 W. Maple, Suite A, Vienna, VA 22180
they have delicious frozen yogurt here, and all the flavors are gluten free! they also have many different toppings, all labeled appropriately.
5621 Kavanaugh Blvd., Little Rock, AR 72207
Have eaten here many times without any problems. Daughter has celiac and I'm gluten intolerant. Only have eaten just yogurt with no toppings each time.
10349 Pacific St., Omaha, NE 68114
Love this place, but I am nervous to use the toppings due to cross contamination.
210 N. 14th St., Lincoln, NE 68508
Yogurt is certified gluten free and they always have 5-6 flavors to choose from. Its not too sweet like some other places in town. Unfortunately the toppings are buffet style and cross contamination risk is high.
601 N Martingale Rd #165, Schaumburg, IL 60173
Frozen yogurt. Simple, yummy, and gluten free. Choose your flavor(s), add whatever GF toppings you like, then enjoy!
600 Pine St., Seattle, WA 98101
the froyo itself is amazing and the company works hard with the gluten free assoc.'s out there. The staff are typically young and not knowlegable so beware *most*of the toppings are not gf. Again the yogurt itself is so good it doesnt even matter!
111 W. Jackson Ave., Naperville, IL 60540
My favorite is the madagascar vanilla with fresh mangos, blackberries and dark chocolate chips. Mmmmm
2811 McKinney Ave., Suite 16, Dallas, TX 75204
the employee didn't know what gluten was an said "no" when I asked if they had any gluten free menu items...(?)! - he was chopping strawberries.
1031 Bellevue Square, Bellevue, WA 98004
Didn't think this would be under GF since most ice cream/frozen yogurts are GF. Anyways, it's great. I love it more than regular froyo b/c it's Greek yogurt so there's a slight tanginess to the flavor. Yummo!
8004 Quaker Ave., Suite A, Lubbock, TX 79424
Delicious! I liked how warnings on toppings contains gluten were visible- no worries.
10349 Pacific St., Omaha, NE 68114
Delicious frozen yogurt and tons of fresh fruit toppings make for a great snack or super healthy lunch!
19 Beachwood Rd., Summit, NJ 07901
Love red mango. Since its self serve you only take as much as you want. Great yogurt & toppings & love that it's GF and all natural.

Best yogurt ever!! They use natural ingredients, including natural sweeteners and stevia.
2065 N. Harris Blvd., Suite A, Layton, UT 84041
This place is awesome they have a great selection of GF toppings and the fruit is always the freshest available! this place is not only for the GF customer but it is friendly to those of us who want to watch our calories too! My kids and husband are not GF eaters and they love it, my teenage son actually asks to come here!!!

A great place for a GF treat. Can be tiny and crowded in the summer. Open all year.

Delish! Just tried the raspberry with pineapple & mochi...all gluten free!!!!
5800 Legacy Dr., Space C3, Plano, TX 75024
Love this place! All their frozen yogurt is gluten free. It's all natural and tastes much better than all the other frozen yogurt shops. I usually skip the toppings as this location is self serve and there is a high chance of cross contamination from gluten containing toppings. If there aren't crumbs everywhere, I'll get some fresh fruit.
19 Church St., Montclair, NJ 07042
certified Gluten free, no corn syrup, naturally sweetened. no coloring. fresh fruit topping. everything is clearly labeled. staff is helpful. love love love!

The MySQL is more important for php developerswithout mysql knowledge you can't developed a effective website.
For finding duplicate contents use the following sql query.
mysql> SELECT *, count(*) as n

These were good quality shades, but the color was definitely darker than the image. The fabric was more beige or tan than an "ecru," which I consider to be a cream or off-white. We would have kept these, but the color wasn't right.
it fit like a glove and looked just like it did on the internet. i love them!
Inexpensive and works well in a bathroom. A little thinner fabric than I wanted but good for the price.
I ordered these and it changed to look of the room at a nominal cost. Controls light very well.
Bought two of these blinds for the bedroom windows which are next to each other ! We have a pesky streetlight the shines into our room and these block it completely. They look great with a mounted rod and two white sheer curtain panels to dress them up! My only complaint would be that they are not reversible so the cord on the left blind hangs in the middle of the two blinds. Minor issue though. Very easy to raise and lower. My husband had quite the trouble installing but I think this was due to our own windows and not the product itself. As opposed to other reviewers, I thought the blinds were a true ecru and less beige than the pictures look! Another great buy from Overstock!
These blinds look just perfect in my bedroom. They block light well, add an insulation factor to the window and the color is just right to balance a rather strong wall color. The amount of fold in the blinds is good too and they fold up smoothly.

Duffy faces Twins as Royals seek fourth straight win
Albers looks for second career victory over Kansas City
The last time the Royals faced rookie Andrew Albers, on Aug. 6, he was making his Major League debut and they were caught completely off guard. The Royals managed just four hits in 8 1/3 scoreless innings as Albers led the Twins to a 7-0 victory against ace James Shields at Kauffman Stadium.
"It was special -- no question," Albers said after the game. "It's hard to put into words, but it was special. To be able to go out and have that kind of performance in your debut, unfortunately it's not going to get much better from there. So, I'm just going to enjoy this high and really enjoy tonight."
Albers goes for a second victory over the Royals on Wednesday night, this time at Target Field against Danny Duffy, as the Royals seek a fourth straight win.
Following his start in Kansas City, Albers threw a two-hit shutout against Cleveland, but he's fallen on some tougher times lately. He's given up five earned runs in each of his last two starts, including a seven-inning outing against the White Sox on Aug. 17 and 5 2/3 innings last Thursday against the Tigers.
Albers exited with a 6-3 lead in the sixth inning against the Tigers, but took a no-decision after reliever Josh Roenicke gave up a three-run homer.
"I thought Albers did a great job," Gardenhire said. "He changed speeds, moved the ball around. At the end there, they put some balls in the right places."
Looking for a fourth-straight victory, the Royals will send Duffy to the mound in his third start coming off Tommy John surgery. Duffy is replacing Wade Davis in the rotation, with Bruce Chen moving back for a Thursday start.
Duffy made his first post-surgery start on Aug. 7 against the Twins and gave up two runs on six hits in 3 2/3 innings. He returned to pitch on Aug. 16 in a double-header at Detroit and shut out the Tigers over six innings, allowing just one hit.
"We haven't given up on making the playoffs," manager Ned Yost said. "We want Duffy on our playoff roster. And if we do make the playoffs, we're probably going to go with three starters and Wade is going to be in the 'pen at that time, so we might as well get him acclimated the last month."
Twins: No timetable for Mauer
Although All-Star catcher Joe Mauer is eligible to return from the seven-day disabled list and told manager Ron Gardenhire that he is starting to feel better, there is still no timetable for his return.
Mauer was placed on the 7-day disabled list with a concussion on Aug. 20 after dizziness in batting practice led to him being scratched from the lineup. The concussion occurred the night before, when Mauer took an Ike Davis foul tip off his mask against the Mets.
"We just have to wait and see," Gardenhire said. "I don't have a timetable. He came in today and says he feels actually pretty decent. He's had some rough days at home. ... He's getting better and it's just going to take time here."
Royals: Moustakas out of the lineup with strep
Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas was out of the lineup on Tuesday with strep throat.
"He started coming down with it yesterday," manager Ned Yost said. "He felt terrible with the heat and everything and got run down. He came here last night and woke up this morning with a 101 temperature. He's got all the white spots in the back of his throat, very bad sore throat."
Moustakas, who had been battling a calf strain, was pulled for a pinch-runner in the sixth inning on Monday in the Royals' 11-1 victory against Tampa Bay.
"I got him out after the sixth inning yesterday and it was more to protect his leg. I'm glad I did now," Yost said.
Worth noting
• The Royals hold a 13-4 lead in the season series with the Twins.
• Twins catcher Ryan Doumit has reached base safely in 12 of his last 13 games.
• Royals designated hitter Billy Butler is batting .390 (32-for-82) since Aug. 7 and .352 (50-for-142) since the All-Star break.

Anthony Mackie, from left, Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson appear in a scene from the motion picture "Pain & Gain." / Jaimie Trueblood/Paramount Pictures/File
Memo to director Michael Bay: Stick to movies with massive pyrotechnics and minimally developed characters.
Blending sharp wit and brutality is a tough proposition. Best to leave such a feat in the nimbler hands of Quentin Tarantino and Martin McDonagh.
Bay's Pain & Gain (2 stars out of 4; rated R) is a badly constructed, blood-spattered caper that comes unglued early on.
In the hands of a smart social satirist, this story of greedy sleazeballs might have been a clever cautionary tale. Or simply funny. Instead, it's crass, overlong and chaotic.
While the story starts with some promise and a couple of good jokes, Pain never attains edgy comedy status. It's not the fault of the actors, an impressive ensemble headed by the engaging Dwayne Johnson. Putting Tony Shalhoub, Ed Harris, Rebel Wilson and Rob Corddry in the same movie is an inspired notion.
Yet flashes of humor fade away before the halfway mark, and then the whole enterprise goes off the rails, crashes and burns.
The story of a trio of larcenous bodybuilders is set in Miami in 1995 and is based on a bizarre real-life crime. Fueled by steroids and cocaine, these guys have an exceptionally clumsy way with criminality. Mark Wahlberg plays ringleader Daniel Lugo, who convinces his musclebound pals Adrian Doorbal (Anthony Mackie) and Paul Doyle (Johnson) to aid and abet a get-rich-quick scheme. It entails the kidnapping and extortion of Victor Kershaw (Shalhoub), a wealthy businessman whom Lugo trains at the gym. After abducting Kershaw, Lugo expects him to calmly hand over all of his worldly assets. Fat chance. When Kershaw resists, Lugo and his chiseled cohorts turn to torture.
Johnson's Doyle is an ex-con who's found religion. Before hooking up with Lugo and Doorbal, he had tried to go legit. The tug-of-war between Doyle's flaring temper, massive strength and Christian values makes for the film's best performance. But it's not enough to save this muddled, misogynistic mess.
Wahlberg's Lugo is buff, egotistical and swayed by the psychobabble of lame-brained motivational speaker Johnny Wu (Ken Jeong). "Don't be a don't-er," Wu exhorts. "Do be a doer."
Shalhoub's Kershaw is a tenacious guy who refuses to go down without a fight. Then he disappears from the movie for a long stretch -- but not for plot-related reasons. Bay takes a wrong-headed turn down seedy side roads marked by gratuitous violence, with some especially malicious nastiness aimed at women.
What might have been a viable stranger-than-fiction tale is undone by ham-fisted execution, numbingly brutal energy and dim wit. It all makes for plenty of pain and no cinematic gain.

The Wind Release: Rasengan is an original technique created by Naruto Uzumaki, expanding on the original concept for the Rasengan: mixing one's chakra element with the Rasengan, emphasising the combination of the highest forms of Shape Transformation and Nature Transformation.
This task proved too difficult to complete for Kakashi Hatake and the creator of the Rasengan, Minato Namikaze, before his death.[1] Yamato noted that adding one's chakra element with the Rasengan takes an incredible amount of skill, or rather natural talent or instinct.
Naruto mixed his wind element with the Rasengan during his training, maintaining its original stability and increasing its destructive power, far beyond that of his ordinary Rasengan. An example of the power that element manipulation adds to the Rasengan is shown when it was tested against Kakashi's standard Rasengan. The fact that it was only partially completed, but still be able to easily overpower Kakashi's Rasengan and damage his hand demonstrates just how far the Rasengan had been pushed when combined with elemental chakra. [2]
To create it, Naruto needs the aid of two shadow clones and, in total, five hands (his hand to release and spin the chakra, one clone to form the shell to maintain the sphere shape, and the other to mix the wind-natured chakra).[1] This technique looks fairly similar to an ordinary Rasengan, except it has four small white blade like protrusions surrounding it, making it look like a miniature fūma shuriken. The concept of a completed Wind Release: Rasengan would be the rotation and power of the Rasengan, and Naruto's wind-natured chakra condensed into a stable sphere.
- The Wind Release: Rasengan has seen very little use in the series, with the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken being the most frequently seen product of Naruto's training. The one time it is used in combat, the Wind Release: Rasengan is combined with Yamato's Water Release: Tearing Torrent to create the Typhoon Water Vortex Technique, which, due to the size and power of the vortex, implies that it can create a powerful twister shaped blast of wind upon impact with a foe.

Anita Sun, licensed esthetician, founder of Karmissie and creator of the company's premier product, The Threader LUX, has a long history within the beauty industry. At the tender age of twelve, Ms. Sun learned the ancient art of threading from her mother who herself is a master threading specialist, learned in a technique passed down from generation to generation by the women in their family.

Anita Sun's first offering, the Threader LUX, combines the ancient threading technique from her cultural heritage and her industry experience with modern engineering. It is carefully designed to recreate the exact angles used by master threading specialists, lifting unwanted hairs directly from the follicle to ensure smooth, long-lasting, and instant results.
