To work, with hexagons
Sometimes, when I can tear myself away from all your blogs and swearing at how hard it is to comment with my iPhone, I might do some hand sewing. I took this picture admiring three flatty flat flat hexagons that I had just sewn together.
I then proceeded to document how I sew them together using a ladder stitch, which has always served me well with applique and other areas requiring an invisible stitch. I had to wait for the bus to stop to get clear pictures. Click on the pictures if you need to see them larger.
The first stitch. I erred just to the seam allowance side of the folded edges, and I did not experience any of the puckering that Christina described at the PMQG meeting using this stitch. I think that might have made the difference.
The second stitch goes in directly opposite where the first stitch came out. And so on.
When you get to the other edge, lay the hexagons flat. The stitches will be loose between them. Gently pull the thread until the stitches disappear.
One side done. But now to get over to stitch up the other side...
I just ran the needle along the seam allowance back to the starting corner. This is to save time and also use one continuous piece of thread instead of many knotted threads which could, as Christina pointed out, come undone.
Four little hexagons, snuggled up together!

You made me smile when you wrote that your picture was taken while you were admiring your three hexagons sewn together; it is something I always do, when making something; every step has to be admired. My family thinks I'm nuts, but it is so nice to see someone else does it too!

These look great! Thanks for the tip on the stitching, I always do get a little puckering with my ladder stitch, but I'll try this next time!

I switched to ladder stitch after Jill posted about it on her blog and I don't feel like I get much puckering... I'll have to give this variation a try to see if it makes a difference.

Nice tip on waiting to pull the threads tight and close up the seam. I'm going to try it!

I'd knot the thread after afixing each hexi and then continue on to the next w/o cutting the thread. THat way if somehow the thread breaks in use the whole quilt doesn't come apart!!!

I thought I was the only one! I use ladder stitch (aka "invisible stitch") not only for applique, but also for hexagons, as you have so aptly demonstrated here. I can't help but feel that the ladder stitch, utilizing 3-4 threads from each side of the hexagon, has to be more secure than a whipstitch taking but one or two threads at a time from each side. And it looks neater. I've been a fan ever since reading the Ami Simms book on invisible applique, probably 15 years ago.
Now I have to find "Jill's blog", mentioned in the comment above! - August 19, 2010 at 6:02 AM

That is a great tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing. I'd previously tried whip stitch, then couldn't find a tutorial I liked. Yours changed all that....the photos and written instructions are very clearly written and easy to follow.....I've just put down the first two hexies I joined. Again, thank you so much!

That stitch is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. My mother made a hand stitched quilt while she was very ill and has since passed away. I don't use it because I worry about her stitches. Now I have a stitch to use to redo what she had so it won't be so fragile. Thanks for sharing. Great pics.

the comment regarding admiring each step made me laugh. I'm pretty sure my husband could make a quilt by now because i'm always showing off mini accomplishments. lol

Great tutorial - clear directions, step by step pics and very easy to follow and understand. Thanks so much.
- August 15, 2012 at 9:02 AM
I use this stitch but I go both directions on each seam. I start away from the corner working to the corner then back down the side, and I have not had any puckering problems.
- November 12, 2012 at 11:09 PM
So how do you get them all the same exact size and with such neat and even borders?

- Jennifer Mathison said...
I have just started working with hexis and I love them. I have not had any problems sewing them together with whip stitches (I use invisible thread) but I will definitely try your method, as well. Of course, I too, will stop and admire my work at each step ... heeheehee!

- sewfrench.com said...
So you don't knot at the corner of each? I'd be nervous about the thread getting pulled causing tighter and looser stitches along the row. Or if the thread gets popped, when using the quilt, a line line of stitches is now susceptible to coming undone.

Thanks for sharing this. I cut out my material and papers using a Bigshot and two dies. I use freezer paper which irons on in place when you are pressing the sides in. I then tack a load and keep them in a box ready to join together wherever I go

I just made my first hexagons yesterday and all the blogs I read said to use a whip stitch. I did as they said, but couldn't help thinking a ladder stitch would be so much better. Thanks for showing me it is ok to buck the trend and use ladder stitch!
- July 2, 2013 at 7:26 PM
- Lore S said...
Great tutorial. Do you put batting inside each hexagon before you sew them together?
- August 2, 2013 at 10:07 PM
- Amy said...
Thank you for the great tutorial! I'm just venturing into hand sewing hexagons, or as I call it...a lesson in patience.
Thank you for sharing pictures taken with your phone :-) my whole blog is filled with phone pics because I don't have a fancy camera! - August 13, 2013 at 7:09 AM

To anon. who asked how to get such even stitches:
Practice, practice, practice! Don't be in a hurry, especially at first. You will speed up as you become more proficient. - September 21, 2013 at 10:47 AM
- Lifeknocks said...
Gonna try the ladder stitch but honestly I never had much puckering with my whip stitch, it just takes forever it seems. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Admiring each step is actually very important, it tells you that you have accomplished something wonderful, it also tells you if you need to fix a problem, so admire away!

Never thought of using the ladder stitch until now - used really small blanket stitch in matching thread. Can't you tell I'm a novice. Thanks for the tip :0)

- liniecat said...
I might have to have another go at ladder stitch!
- January 3, 2015 at 3:26 AM

A very good idea! I have just started making these and will use this stitch!

Prinzide, ZestoreticSummary of Interactions with Vitamins, Herbs, & Foods
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
Magnesium and Potassium
Potassium-depleting diuretics, including thiazide diuretics, cause the body to lose potassium; they may also cause cellular magnesium depletion,1 although this deficiency may not be reflected by a low blood level of magnesium.2 Magnesium loss induced by potassium-depleting diuretics can cause additional potassium loss. Until more is known, it has been suggested that people taking potassium-depleting diuretics, including thiazide diuretics, should supplement both potassium and magnesium.3
People taking thiazide diuretics should be monitored by their prescribing doctor, who will prescribe potassium supplements if needed. Such supplementation is particularly critical before surgery in patients with a history of heart disease. In a preliminary study, people with low blood levels of potassium (in part related to diuretic use) had a higher incidence of serious problems resulting from surgery (including death) compared with those having normal potassium levels.4 A double-blind trial showed that thiazide diuretic use led to a reduction in blood levels of potassium in some participants. Those experiencing decreased potassium levels were also more likely to experience cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks, stroke, heart failure, aneurysm, and sudden cardiac death.5 Fruit is high in potassium, and increasing fruit intake (especially bananas) is another way of supplementing potassium.
Magnesium supplementation for people taking thiazide diuretics is typically 300–600 mg per day, though higher amounts (over 800 mg per day) have been reported in a controlled study to reduce side effects of thiazides.6 Combining supplementation of both potassium and magnesium has been reported to correct abnormally low blood levels of potassium and also to protect against excessive loss of magnesium.7
Thiazide diuretics can increase urinary zinc loss.8
Folic Acid
One study showed that people taking diuretics for more than six months had dramatically lower blood levels of folic acid and higher levels of homocysteine compared with individuals not taking diuretics.9 Homocysteine, a toxic amino acid byproduct, has been associated with atherosclerosis. Until further information is available, people taking diuretics for longer than six months should probably supplement with folic acid.
The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
Reduce Side Effects
In a double-blind study of patients who had developed a cough attributed to an ACE inhibitor, supplementation with iron (in the form of 256 mg of ferrous sulfate per day) for four weeks reduced the severity of the cough by a statistically significant 45%, compared with a nonsignificant 8% improvement in the placebo group.11
Support Medicine
Reduces Effectiveness
Potential Negative Interaction
Digitalis (Digitalis purpurea) refers to a family of plants commonly called foxglove, which contains digitalis glycosides, chemicals with actions and toxicities similar to the prescription drug digoxin. Thiazide diuretics can increase the risk of digitalis-induced heart disturbances.12 Thiazide diuretics and digitalis-containing products should be used only under the direct supervision of a doctor trained in their use.
Diuretic Herbs
Herbs that have a diuretic effect should be avoided when taking diuretic medications, as they may enhance the effect of these drugs and lead to possible cardiovascular side effects. These herbs include dandelion, uva ursi, juniper, buchu, cleavers, horsetail, and gravel root.13
Use buckthorn (Rhamnus catartica, Rhamnus frangula, Frangula alnus) or alder buckthorn for more than ten days consecutively may cause a loss of electrolytes (especially the mineral potassium). Medications that also cause potassium loss, such as some diuretics, should be used with caution when taking buckthorn or alder buckthorn.14
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) may increase the side effects of potassium-depleting diuretics, including thiazide diuretics.15 Thiazide diuretics and licorice should be used together only under careful medical supervision. At the time of this writing, no evidence was found of interactions between deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) and any diuretic was found in the medical literature.
A potentially serious side effect of taking ACE inhibitors is increased blood potassium levels.16 , 17 , 18 This problem is more likely to occur in people with advanced kidney disease. Taking potassium supplements,19 potassium-containing salt substitutes (No Salt®, Morton Salt Substitute®, and others),20 , 21 , 22 or large amounts of high-potassium foods (including noni juice) at the same time as ACE inhibitors could cause life-threatening problems.23 Therefore, people should consult their healthcare practitioner before supplementing additional potassium and should have their blood levels of potassium checked periodically while taking ACE inhibitors.
One case was reported in which ginkgo use was associated with high blood pressure in a person treated with a thiazide diuretic.24 Ginkgo was not proven to be the cause of this reaction.
The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
Explanation Required
Thiazide diuretics decrease calcium loss in the urine due to actions on the kidneys.25 As a result, it may be less important for some people taking thiazide diuretics to supplement calcium than it is for other people.
Diuretics, including thiazide diuretics, cause increased loss of sodium in the urine. By removing sodium from the body, diuretics also cause water to leave the body. This reduction of body water is the purpose of taking diuretics. Therefore, there is usually no reason to replace lost sodium, although strict limitation of salt intake in combination with the actions of diuretics can sometimes cause excessive sodium depletion. On the other hand, people who restrict sodium intake, and in the process reduce blood pressure, may need to have their dose of diuretics lowered.
Vitamin D
The reduction in urinary calcium loss resulting from treatment with thiazide diuretics is due primarily to changes in kidney function and may also be due, in part, to changes in vitamin D metabolism.26 However, there is no evidence to suggest that people taking diuretics have different requirements for vitamin D.
In experimental animals, co-administration of hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) extract and hydrochlorothiazide increased blood levels of hydrochlorothiazide and decreased the rate at which the body cleared the drug.27 Therefore, treatment with hibiscus could increase both the efficacy and the adverse effects of hydrochlorothiazide. People taking hydrochlorothiazide should not take hibiscus without medical supervision.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders has released new data showing a 90% increase in the number of mortgage loans between December 2008 and December 2009.
The number of loans to first-time buyers also hit a two-year high in December, driven by a rush to buy properties in the £125,000 - £175,000 bracket before the 1% stamp duty holiday expired.
The number of loans to first-time buyers increased to 24,900 in December, up from 19,300 in November - this is the highest number since November 2007.
55% of house purchase loans were on properties costing under £175,000 (and thus exempt from stamp duty), up from 51% in November.
Moreover, 10,300 first-time buyers bought a property in the £125,000 -£175,000 bracket in December, up 63% from 6,300 in November; 11,200 other transactions occurred in this range, up 49% or 7,500 on the previous month.
The Council of Mortgage Lenders say this data clearly indicates a rush to complete purchases before the end of the stamp duty holiday (and thus avoid paying an additional 1% of the purchase price on top of transaction costs).

HOW-TO: Eagle Keepout and Restrict layers
Keepout, and restrict polygons are powerful tools at your disposal as a PCB designer. Keepout is used when you don't want components placed within an area, like edges of a board, or where your heatsink will be placed.
Restrict polygons make sure the specific copper layer cant be placed within the polygon. We use them to keep other traces away from noise sensitive traces and parts. Both keepout, and restrict together are used to keep part, and copper away from metal standoffs on our Sick of Beige cases.
How to use
Create a polygon with one of the layers described below, covering an area for which you need keepout, or restrict. For more information on polygons in general check out our polygons guide.
Special Layers you could use
tKeepout / bKeepout
When a component contains a keepout layer on its perimeter, the DRC checks if there are overlaps with your keepout polygon. If there are overlaps, you will be informed about it through the DRC error report.
'Keepout errors'
'Keepout clearance for components overlaps'
These layers check for overlap of top copper, bottom copper, and vias when running a DRC with "Check Restrict" toggled under Misc. Tab in DRC. Also informing you about overlaps in the DRC error report.
'Restrict errors'
'DRC window, Miscellaneous Tab'
This will also cut through, or prevent power planes. Great for protecting noise prone areas.
You can turn-off tKeepout/bKeepout layers under 'View>Display/Hide Layers' to bypass the check.
Restrict will still be checked even it's layer is off, you should un-check it in the DRC menu if bypassing is required.
Here's an interesting use of Restrict layer. You could etch away your logo or text using restrict.
This entry was posted in Eagle, tutorials and tagged Cadsoft Eagle, how-to.Comments
That is all well and good but how do you keep AutoRouter from putting traces and vias in the Keepout areas?
You don't :-) The autorouter doesn't care about the Keepout-layers. You need to add Restrict-layers to those areas to avoid having the autorouter putting stuff there.
39 tKeepout No-go areas for components, top side
40 bKeepout No-go areas for components, bottom side
41 tRestrict No-go areas for tracks, top side
42 bRestrict No-go areas for tracks, bottom side
43 vRestrict No-go areas for via-holes
Yeah, I first tried Keepout and it had no effect on the autorouter. So then I read what this article had to say about Restrict and the only thing it said was that DRC would tell you if Restrict area was violated but said nothing about the autorouter so I assumed that it was like Keepout in that respect. But then I decided to try it just to see and, sure enough, it *did* affect the autorouter in the way that I assumed Keepout would. Thanks for replying!

1. Jimmy Carter's grandson deserves praise for making this go viral.
It was an eye opener for those who believed Mitt Romney was at heart a decent man just with differing views. That video was a game changer.
It showed that we were not liberal conspiracy nuts. There really is an evil cabal of rich people laughing at and despising at least half the population. They hate a lot more but need some of them to be their flunkies. |

4. Yes he does!
James Carter IV is a hero. I would also like to know who originally hid the video camera to record the speech just to give him/her a HUGE thank you!

2. Who are the moochers?
Wouldn't that he the banksters and CEOs who skim millions of dollars from companies via outrageous salaries. Or would it be the contractors who rape the government via overcharges and fraud? Or, may be people like Mitt (the piece of shit) Romney who destroy jobs and companies so they can glean all the profit and close the doors> These are the real moochers. You can always tell what republicans are doing by what they complain about. The takers are the ones making millions of dollars off the backs of the middle class. They're not only moochers and takers, they're a bunch of fucking traitors in my book. THEY are what's wrong with America.

Released: Sep 01st, 1998
Running Time: 83
Director: Jon Dough
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Lovette, Antonio Kilanara, Sarah Taylor, Jon Dough, Jake Steed, Katie Gold, Marc Wallice, Shawna Valentino, Meka, Sunny (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
Mostly a mechanically-pacd muddle. Filler for your features section.
Witless, lightweight farce about a bitter dumpee (Katie Gold)-turned-freelance-hitwoman. Of course, all her victims are guys who cheat, and she gives them a last roll before dispatching them. A couple of grin: Vince Vouyer, in Katie's silk robe, tied to her walk-in-the-air exercise machine; Jake Steed, apparently back from the dead, only to see his massive tool engulfed by Lovette's front-impact airbags. A couple of hot moments: Meka's cowgirl bounce on Vouyer; Katie's standing fuck with Steed.

Interview Director T. T. Dhavamanni on his debut film Singaiyil Gurushetram which was entirely made in the island country
What is special about Singaiyil Gurushetram? It is a Tamil film entirely produced in Singapore, directed by first-timer T. T. Dhavamanni and features actors from multi-racial backgrounds who live in that country. The film is a true-to-life portrayal, focussing on Singapore's drug mafia and the youth involved in it. After winning the appreciation of the President of Singapore, S. R. Nathan, it's been bought by Metro Films, a Chennai-based company, for release in Tamil Nadu. In an interview, Dhavamanni talks about his experience making the film in the island nation. Excerpts:
What were you doing before making Singaiyil Gurushetram?
I was busy with theatre, making tele-movies and short films. I graduated in Theatre Studies from Queensland University of Technology, Australia. My tele-movies and short films have won several awards in Singapore. My tele-movie Match'Stick garnered recognition at the New York Festival and got four nominations in the prestigious Asian Television Awards.
Why did you zero in on this subject for your first film?
Well, I felt that in the race towards attaining economic security, we have, without our knowledge, left a generation of Singaporeans behind who find it difficult to compete. They are unable to cope with the pace and the changes that have taken place in society. This is a story about them and, in a way, about us. Although the story is set in Singapore, you can always see similarities in some of the social problems that all developed cities of the world face. I am happy that I have taken up this subject for my first film.
What are the highlights of the film?
The fact that it's a Tamil film done away from Kollywood is a highlight in itself. More than 100 Singaporean artists have come together to work on the film. The other high points of the film are the award-winning cinematographer Lucas Jodogne, the Tamil Nadu state award-winning editor Praveen KL (he has edited films such as Chennai 600028, Goa and Kanthaswamy), and Rafee, a legendary musician from Singapore who made his Kollywood debut with K. S. Ravikumar's Jhagubhai, are on board. The film's only song has been penned by Madhan Karky, son of Vairamuthu. The post-production work was done in Thailand.
What is the most interesting aspect of your film?
Although Singaiyil… is classified as a Tamil movie, it is truly made by multi-cultural Singaporeans. The cinematographer is a Belgian; from the co-writer to the sound recordist, all were Chinese. The sound designer was Malay. The director, musician and the editor are Tamils. The actors come from diverse geographical backgrounds.
Is it different making a film in Singapore compared to Chennai?
Singaiyil… is a story about the island nation's social problems. The setting could be different, yet what connects it with Chennai is the language — Tamil. The storytelling technique could be different. The actors are all new to the Chennai audience, yet the cinematography, the dialogue and the characters have all struck a chord with acclaimed director Saran and legendary lyricist Vairamuthu. They are confident the film will be a winner with the Chennai audience — I feel that has bridged all differences we thought existed.
Why did you make a Tamil film in Singapore?
It was my dream even at the age of seven. Although I had opportunities to venture into Kollywood a few years ago, it was somehow a personal calling that my first film should be done in Singapore and that too a Singapore story with my fellow actors playing the characters I had created. Having fulfilled my dream, I'm planning to collaborate with a reputed production house in Chennai for my next movie.
What was the response like to the film in Singapore?
We had a gala charity film launch event which was graced by the President of Singapore. We managed to raise $120,000 for a good cause. The film ran successfully for a month and its distribution rights were immediately sold to Malaysia and Sri Lanka. The quality of our production has brought us this far and this has been possible with the help of Metro Films, Chennai. We are now looking forward to the international release of the film in India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Europe.

Egyptian authorities on Wednesday bowed again to protesters, firing close to 700 top police officers, state television reported. The dismissal of 669 police officers was declared on Wednesday by Interior Minister Mansour el-Issawi. It responds to one of the main demands of protesters camping out in Cairo's central Tahrir Square.
Egyptian state TV reported that 37 of the dismissed officers face charges of killing protesters. Among those dismissed were 505 major-generals, including 10 of the interior minister's top assistants, 82 colonels, and 82 brigadiers, the report said. "This is the biggest administrative move... to bring new blood," to the police force, el-Issawi said.
The minister promised that police officers would be held accountable for any violations.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
'Bachelor Canada' lovebirds Brad and Bianka house-hunting in Toronto
TORONTO - The stars of Canada's first-ever reality dating show "The Bachelor Canada" are adamant: They will get married.
Brad Smith and Bianka Kamber say they are eager to tie the knot as soon as possible now that the campy TV series that brought them together has wrapped with a tearful finale.
The duo cuddled on a couch for a day of media interviews Thursday, pausing between declarations of affection to offer quick pecks on the lips.
"It's hard for a lot of people to believe that you can have an organic relationship on a reality television show but for us it was seamless," says the 29-year-old Smith, his arm draped around the 28-year-old Kamber.
"We knew by Day 4 that this was the best decision that we've ever made."
A wedding date has not been set but Smith, a former wide receiver with the Canadian Football League, says he's hoping it will be "ASAP."
They say they've already begun hunting for a house in Toronto where they can start the rest of their lives.
In the meantime, Smith says he has moved in with Kamber and her family in Mississauga, Ont.
The first-ever edition of "The Bachelor Canada" wrapped Wednesday with the beefy former football player presenting a diamond-studded engagement ring to the curvaceous brunette nurse.
In doing so, he bid farewell to 24-year-old administrative assistant Whitney Lee, who floundered after meeting Smith's family in the finale despite appearing to be the front-runner for most of the series.
"B, this is by far the easiest decision I've ever had to make," Smith said as he got down on one knee with the picturesque Barbados coastline behind him.
"Bianka Kamber will you marry me?"
"Yes," she said immediately, later letting out an exuberant "Whoo!"
Kamber claimed Smith over more than two dozen other contenders including a shapely Playboy bunny from Vancouver and a bubbly blond pastor from Sylvan Lake, Alta.
Kamber distinguished herself early on by openly discussing the heartbreak of a past relationship with another athlete — widely reported to be NBA forward Kris Humphries. She gushed in the finale that she had fallen head over heels for Smith.
"I've never ever felt so sure about something in my entire life," Kamber said on the show.
"I followed my heart and followed my gut and wouldn't have done it any other way."
Production wrapped five months ago and although the duo have had to keep their relationship under wraps, Smith says they've been on four vacations together.
Their get-togethers included a two-week trip immediately following the finale that was paid for by the show. Smith says he was impressed the producers appeared genuinely interested in doing what they could to support them as a couple.
"We were worried that once the production aspect stopped the humanity would kind of decrease a little bit and they'd be like, 'OK, well you're not on the show anymore,' but they did an amazing job facilitating our relationship outside of that," Smith says of the series.
As for the future of the franchise, both say they'd nominate 23-year-old Laura B. of Ottawa for a possible first edition of "The Bachelorette Canada."
"She embodies the exact Canadian virtues and the genuineness that I think you need for this kind of show and she's just a normal girl," says Smith.
Kamber says it hasn't been too difficult watching their romantic ups and downs being broadcast to the country, largely because things have worked out in her favour.
"I'm here with him now," she says.
"Had I been in a different situation and I didn't end up with Brad I think it would be a lot more difficult.... It's a journey and it led us to where we are today and I'm thankful for it."
The series isn't done quite done yet. An "After the Final Rose" special airs next week on Citytv.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Private Tour: Classical Bologna Walking Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
a very informative and enjoyable trip. Learnt lots of facts regarding the history of Bologna, a very beautiful and interesting city.
Our guide (Elsie?) was very friendly. Her knowledge of Bologna was extensive. The 3 hours went by very quickly.
Great tour. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and super nice!!
Having just the two of us expertly guided around central Bologna was a terrific introduction to this fascinating city on our first morning in Italy ( a good way to walk off jetlag having flown direct from Australia!). Our guide was full of expert knowledge and anecdote, and the tour covered a good balance of history, architecture and gastronomy. Our tour finished off outside the San Stefano complex, where we gained an interesting insight into its medieval origins of tourism and whetted our appetite further to explore. A great tour to start our stay in Bologna. Well done.
Excellent start to our lovely holiday in Bologna ...tour conducted in a professional yet friendly manner. Highly recommended.

Great tour and very knowledgeable guide.
This was a wonderful, informative, entertaining tour, we highly recommend it. Our guide, Cecelia, was able to customize our very small group experience, and showed us not only the City highlight's but some very special places and stories of Bologna, from the Renaissance through the Italian Resistance during WW2. Even though it was our first trip to Bologna, we felt very oriented in the City and its history after just a few hours with Cecelia, and followed it up with the Gourmet Tour on our second day. Wonderful!!.
Balda (I hope I've spelled correctly!) was exceptionally knowledgeable about his city and the sights. We very much enjoyed the tour and him. A very good tour overall!
This was a great tour for us. Our guide, Giacomo, was not only very knowledgeable but also made us feel very welcome. The day was full of history, stories, and great food. It gave us a better understanding of Bologna and we saw places that we would never have scene on our own. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour to others.
Our guide Paula was very informative. Very cordial. No better way to get to understand a new foreign city.
This tour was wonderful and the guide was fabulous! She shared history, anecdotes and adjusted the tour to show us the food side of Bologna, which was of great interest to us!
We highly recommend this tour. Our guide for the day was Natalia and the knowledge that she shared and good company that she afforded us made the day memorable. It gave us such a better understanding of Bologna and we saw places that we woud never have discovered by ourselves. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour to others.
John A
Our guide was wonderful - full of great information. She put what we were seeing in its historical context and answered our questions. Thank you, Viator.
Alan T
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and flexible. She revised our itinerary around our specific interests as conveyed to her at the start of the tour. This was a great way to get a good overview of the city in a short period of time.
Had a lovely tour with Luca--he did a terrific job and we would recommend! The university and the autopsy room were our interests and then he added in a tour of some of the oldest churches in the city and a great tip on the best food in town!! We recommend!

Making Microchips
In Making Microchips, Jan Mazurek examines the environmental and economic implications of the computer microchip industry's exodus from California's Silicon Valley to New Mexico, Virginia, Ireland, and Taiwan. Globalization, economic restructuring, and changing manufacturing processes in this rapidly growing industry present difficult new questions for environmental policy. Mazurek challenges the assumptions of U.S. policies designed to promote the competitiveness of domestic microchip makers. She argues that, although these initiatives focus on the economic effects of environmental regulation, they fail to acknowledge how economic and organizational changes within the industry collide with and often confound efforts to monitor and manage pollution from chemicals used in microchip manufacturing.
Despite its reputation as a clean industry, microchip manufacturing is fraught with hazards. More than sixty dangerous acids, solvents, caustics, and gases are used to make microchips, and some of them are suspected to be carcinogens and/or reproductive toxins. Mazurek describes the environmental by-products of chipmaking, including soil contamination, air and water pollution, and damage to human health. Applying insights from economic geography to questions of how and where companies organize production, she shows how Silicon Valley played a pivotal role in the development of the microchip. Pairing federal environmental data with structural and geographic information on the six firms that continue to build wafer fabrication plants in the United States, she demonstrates how reorganization and relocation of manufacturing facilities divert attention from trends in toxic emissions and how they complicate public and private efforts to improve the industry's environmental performance. In the concluding chapter, Mazurek marshals her findings in a broader analysis of the expansion of global manufacturing and the resultant environmental problems.
"A timely study of how current regulations and initiatives are addressing environmental concerns in the semiconductor industry.", John Abbott, Computer Business Review
"Jan Mazurek has written an interesting and provocative work which provides great insight into the future of the environment and the economy."
—Terry Davies, Director, Center for Risk Management, Resources for the Future

This post is insanely overdue, by about 8 months. Yeah, that's how bad of a blogger I am people. Sneak peeks I can do, but full posts? Apparently they take me about 8 months. But I digress. Back in January I got the opportunity to photograph this adorable couple for their engagement session. And though I won't be shooting their wedding day, I am so excited that we were able to do this session. Jessica & Ben are so deeply in love, I barely had to tell them to kiss or cuddle. They just did that naturally! This session is full of tall grass, dreamy winter light and romance. I hope you enjoy!
Jessica & Ben : Engagement Photography
You are both absolutely amazing and gorgeous! I love you both. :)

Hanggi, P. H. and Moss, F. and McClintock, Peter V. E. (1986) Branch selectivity at a pitchfork bifurcation in the presence of noise. In: Noise in Physical Systems and 1/f Noise - 1985. Elsevier, Amsterdam, pp. 121-124.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The problem of branch (or state) selection, initiated by a slowly changing external parameter in a bifurcating system has wide applications to far-from-equilibrium processes in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. In macroscopic systems such as laser and fluid dynamic transitions, bifurcating chemical reactions and possibly some selection processes in certain biological applications, for example, state selection always takes place in the presence of noise and a nonzero (though possibly quite small) symmetry breaking field. We consider a quite general representation of a transition from a monostable to a bistable state, driven by a linearly time varying control parameter in the presence of additive, Gaussian, white noise with a nonzero (though small compared to the noise variance) mean. We have constructed an electronic analog of this system, and developed methods for measuring the time evolution of its statistical densities (the first such measurements on a physical system). The probabilities of branch selection are extracted from these measurements and are compared to the predictions of a recent theory with applications to the problem of prebiotic selection of molecular chirality.

Fresh from leading the new-look Socceroos in the FIFA World Cup in Brazil and with five months to go to the AFC Asian Cup on home soil, Postecoglou said Australians needed to show more belief in their representative teams.
Despite three losses againt Chile, Netherlands and Spain, the overall performance of the Socceroos in Brazil showed that Australians can play football even at the highest level, Postecoglou said.
"We need to change our negative attitude and I think that's an important part of our education as a football country," Postecoglou said after announcing his squad for September's matches against Belgium in Liege and Saudi Arabia in London.
The 20-man Socceroos squad for the games against Belgium and Saudi Arabia is:

"From my perspective it's not about playing the type of football most people externally and here in Australia think we can't play but about showing our players they can do it.
"If we show that, our pedigree and the way people perceive us will improve.
"We have to believe in ourselves because if we do not have that belief and confidence I guess the outside world is not going to see it either.
"As you are aware, I get pretty testy when people question my coaching experience.
"The reason I do things is not to pump myself up. I've lived in this country for pretty much my whole life and learned all my football here and I think I'm a smart enough guy to know that this is a game played worldwide and tap into any resource that I can.
"As an Australian I don't think I should be measured any less than anyone else and I don't see myself as any less than any other international coach.
"That's what I want to instil in the players we have through the football we play.
"The perception of our football is the biggest thing that I can change and our play in Brazil showed that we are on the right track.
"We showed we can play the type of football that is played in the top leagues and the Asian Cup will be no different."
Postecoglou said he was mystified by the foreign perception that Australian footballers are essentially aggressive, competitive and physical sportsmen who lack the finer and more sophisticated qualities of the game.
"That's just not right," Postecoglou said.
"I watched the game between Western Sydney and Guangzhou and I saw some Australian players who played some pretty good football.
"We need to believe more in ourselves so eventually those perceptions will get broken.
"After the World Cup I went over to Europe and people were saying in a back-handed compliment that they were surprised we could play that kind if positive football, particularly in the first two games against Chile and Netherlands.
"But I don't want anyone to be surprised by our football anymore.
"And if people continue to underestimate us there will be an opportunity for us to make some people wake up and take notice.
"They won't be happy about it because some people might not like to lose to Australians, as was the case with Guangzhou's Marcello Lippi."
Postecoglou, who is contracted with Football Federation Australia up to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, said he would consider it a feather in his cap if by the end of his five-year tenure he will have raised the belief in the game among the country's football fraternity.
"I certainly hope that will be the case," he said.
"That's always been my driver. For me my greatest motivation has always been the game and for us to believe in ourselves."
Postecoglou said the most important positive he drew from the World Cup and which he will take to the Asian Cup in January is that his players were able to face the world's best with a positive approach.
"What's there to fear from now on?" he asked.
"I said to the players 'when you face the likes of Chile, Netherlands and Spain in a World Cup with all three doing their utmost to progress there is nothing to be afraid of in terms of the football we want to play'.
"There is no excuse for us to not do the same thing moving forward.
"Whatever challenges we have got ahead of us I don't think anything will be as daunting as what we faced in Brazil.
"So we will look at the Asian Cup as a progression from the World Cup."

Detective Sgt. Teri Gardner said Melissa Christine Ellis left her Oak Harbor home sometime between 10 and 11 o'clock on Friday morning. She first told family members that she was headed to Coupeville and then said she was going to the beach.
Ellis, a mother of three, commonly rides on Island Transit buses and suffers from memory loss at times, the detective indicated. Her cell phone was found on a sidewalk outside her home and she doesn't have an ID on her.
"Her family would really like to find her very quickly," Gardner said.
Anybody who has information about Ellis' whereabouts should call contact police at 911 or by calling the ICOM dispatch center at 360-679-9567.
Ellis' friend and family have been frantically looking for her. They've searched her favorite beaches and have circulated a flyer in the city. "Melissa we love you. Please come home," the flyer states.
Ellis is described as a white woman with black hair and blue eyes. She is 5-foot-10 and of average weight. She was last seen wearing a gray sweater, blue jeans and a white knitted hat.
Ellis also has a couple of distinctive tattoos. She has a picture of her two oldest children tattooed on her left shoulder, a koi fish with a lotus flower tattooed on her right wrist and an alpha omega tattoo below her right ear.

Democrats seem to have two preferred adjectives to describe Republicans this year-- racist and extremist. Angry charges of "Extremists!" have become common and ubiquitous. Rarely do leading Democrats, such as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, ever talk about Republicans without adding the charge of extremist. Listen to them and it becomes quite clear that they believe "extremist" Republicans in Congress are the root of all evil. And, that these very "extremists' that are responsible for the American credit-worthiness downgrade, loss of competitiveness, high unemployment, and a sluggish economy. Golly.
Charges of "extremists" Republicans have grown so common, that Democrat leaders such as Wasserman-Shultz have recently taken an even greater leap in logic and lament that fact that these same "extremist" Republicans are responsible for a break down in common civility and even hateful violence. Not only has the main stream media missed the irony of that charge, but all too often they echo the very same charges of "extremism".
A closer look at what Democrats mean by "extremists" is long overdue--so what (by Democrat standards) does it really mean to be "extreme"?
Let's see. The Tea Party is considered by Democrats to be "extreme" because they gather in huge numbers to protest profligate spending, out-of-control expansion of government, excessive intrusion of government into the private sector and individual lives and, of course, because they are concerned with a growing trend to ignore the Constitution. So, according to Democrats, anyone with those kinds of beliefs is "extreme".
What else do Democrats consider "extreme"? More than anything else, anyone talking about the $15 Trillion ($15,000,000,000,000.00) of debt our nation has incurred, anyone who is worried about how we are going to repay that debt is automatically viewed as a "extremists".
Democrats, by comparison, almost never voluntarily talk about the huge national debt and annual trillions of dollars of spending deficits. For good reason too. Long ago, Democrats understood the dangers of reminding voters that our national finances are precarious, spending unsustainable, and our debt has ballooned.
Due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of our readers it has become necessary to transfer our commenting system to a more scalable system in order handle the content.

Providence or Greater RI: day-caught seafood My wife and I moved to Providence yesterday. We're looking for a seafood market where we can buy the freshes lobsters, clams, oysters and other good grub from the sea. Any suggestions? Mike |
Were they closed for good or just closed for the evening? How terribly disappointing if the former. Have you tried Bijou in Lebanon? Wonderful classical french. |
Restaurants in Paducah KY & vicinity My wife and I are driving to Paducah, KY from Indianapolis this weekend for their Artist's Festival. I've searched the boards and everyone seems to like Starnes BBQ. Are there other restaurants or fun food-field-trips that we should make while we're in the area? Any restaurants between here and there that are worth making a side-trip? |
Is there such a thing as great pizza in Indy? Bazbeaux Pizza (Downtown and Broad Ripple) is excellent, as is Datza Pizza, downtown on Pennsylvania Avenue. |

Examine your feelings about the people who attend Gatsby's parties.
1 Answer | Add Yours
The original question had to be edited. I would suggest that the initial reaction that is had towards the people who attend Gatsby's parties is empathy for Gatsby. It is difficult to not feel bad for someone who ends up doing so much for so many and gets so little in return. Granted that Gatsby has his own motives in trying to win Daisy and the throwing of parties and elaborate display of wealth are ends that he pursues towards that goal. Yet, he is pure of heart in what he is trying to do.
The guests at Gatsby's party cannot be said to feel the same. Conducting themselves "according to the rules of behavior associated with amusement parks," the guests at the party are there for their own enjoyment with little regard for much else. They drink at Gatsby's expense, use his pool and grounds without much care, and essentially are there to satisfy their own desires. They trash his home, and don't really care about why they are doing what they are doing. The people who attend Gatsby's parties are reflective of the shallow condition of the time period in which people used one another as means to an end as opposed to treating human beings as ends in their own right. They reflect a reality in which people found it acceptable to take advantage of another. It is for this reason that a reaction that is generated from witnessing this is empathy for Gatsby.

Toyota Speakers Mounting Brackets Written By JJ, Bedford, Ohio on Monday, August 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Was told by the Crutchfield team that all 6 1/2 speakers and some 6 3/4 speakers would fit my 1996 Toyota Rav doors. Nowhere on the Crutchfield web site does it says nything about 4 1/2 in speakers. I understood that the speakers I bought would require a little modification. I was horrified to find out that my vehicle had 4 1/2 inch speakers once I took the door panels off. If you put in your vehicle into the website, it will tell you that all 4 in speakers will not fit. If I would of bought those size speakers in the first place, I wouldn't have had a problem. Very dissappointed customer.

Doing you is basically what all anyone ever needs to do. As long as you do you you can't complain about anything. If one is ever stuck in a dilemma or in a toss up, just say fuck it, "I'm going to do me." Doing you is when you lose all regard for other people's opinions and are finally at peace with yourself. No one can ever hate on someone else for doing them; unless while in the act of doing them one impedes on others. You can't do you if it is going to have negative effects on others or the community. As long as doing you is chill then ain't no one going to stop you. One can not hate on someone for doing them, they can have opinions but after it is all said and done respect must be given for anyone doing them.

Treating games of incomplete information, we demonstrate that the existence of an ex post stable strategy vector implies the existence of an approximate Bayesian equilibrium in pure strategies that is also expost stable. Through examples we demonstrate the 'bounds obtained on the approximation' are tight.

Letters Dog Exercise Published in AM NEW YORK, 8/7/06:
August 7, 2006 Your article on leash laws illustrated some major misconceptions
potential dog guardians have ('Dog Fight,' Aug. 4). One of the Q and A respondents claimed enforcement of leash laws would
cause "... a lot of people to not get a dog. I live in a studio. (Being
off-leash) is critical for the well-being of a dog." Not true. Dogs all over the country do very well living in apartments and
being walked on a leash. Another stated she "would have to move out of the
city. No dog can be well-behaved without enough exercise." Both statements are incorrect. I am in favor of dog parks; but to imply
that the only 'real' exercise a dog gets is off-leash is ridiculous. --Kiley Blackman, Animal Defenders of Westchester

Del. police arrest suspect in reputed smuggling
DOVER, Del. A man arrested in Delaware as part of the takedown of an alleged East Coast cigarette smuggling ring that may have funneled money to terrorist groups is being held on $12.5 million cash bail.
State police arrested Adel Abuzahrieh, 47, of Staten Island, N.Y., this week after a traffic stop on Route 1 near Milford. Police say they found 201 cases of cigarettes in the box truck he was driving and seized between $15,000 and $20,000 in cash.
Delaware State Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Shavack said Abuzahrieh was arrested by members of a DSP special operations response team who were alerted to his whereabouts.
Shavack said Abuzahrieh loaded up a 2007 Mitsubishi box truck with cigarettes stored at a facility in Selbyville and began driving north on Route 1. He was taken into custody without incident and arrested on a fugitive warrant from New York alleging enterprise corruption, Shavack said.
New York authorities allege Abuzahrieh is part of a smuggling ring that made a fortune selling more than a million cartons of untaxed cigarettes in New York and may have funneled some of the proceeds to terrorist groups.MORE IN Vermont NewsMore than 200 people turned out for a community vigil Sunday evening in memory of Wesley Wing,...

Being picked by eight-division title holder Manny Pacquiao to be his opponent on Nov 22 has apparently gone into the head of WBO junior lightweight title holder Chris Algieri. With the prospect of earning 15 times bigger than the $100,000 he got during his last bout against Ruslan Provodnikov, the unbeaten American boxer is setting his eyes on fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr after Pacquiao.
Such a prospect is, of course, premised on Algieri beating Pacquiao on the ring in Macau. Algieri is so confident of moving up the ladder that he thinks he could even knock out the Filipino southpaw congressman. He told RingTV.com that it is not an impossible scenario since Pacquiao has a 3 KO record.
Algieri believes he has an advantage over Pacquiao in terms of size, skills and age since he is only 30, while Pacquiao is 35. However, his fight record is only 20, while Pacquiao's is almost thrice at 56.
But Algieri told Newsday, "I said before the Ruslan fight that he's never fought someone like me - someone who's long, tall, strong and athletic with good boxing skills. Neither has Manny."
Algieri explained, "Manny has a lot of fights and a lot of experience, but the string of guys he's fought over the last five, six, seven, eight years are all the same kind of guys. I do believe my style is a problem for him. And he'll be 36 [in December]. It's tough to learn a new style or to deal with something you're not accustomed to, which I wholeheartedly will bring to the table."
However, Boxingnews24 pointed out that there are two things that could stand in the way of his dream to fight Mayweather.
First, is the rematch clause in his contract in the event that he does wins over Pacquiao, which would lock Algieri into giving the Filipino champion one or two more bouts.
Second, is the possibility that the dream match between Mayweather and Pacquiao could possibly be done in May 2015 in Dubai. Even if reports said that Money May is not too keen on battling Pacman in the ring, the prospect of a huge guaranteed purse plus a percentage of pay-per-view buys is enough reason for Mayweather to set aside his dislike for Top Rank Promotions boss Bob Arum and Pacquiao, whom he recently called a bitch in his recent press conference for the Maidana rematch.
Read: Boxing News 2014: Mayweather Calls Pacquiao a 'Bitch" in Maidana Rematch Presscon
That means if the May dream match would take place, it may lead to the retirement from the ring of whoever loses in the fight. And if that loser turns out to be Mayweather, then Algieri could kiss goodbye his ambition of fighting Money May and earning more than the $1.5 million guaranteed purse on Nov 22.
Mayweather, in case he beats Pacquiao, may also retire after May 2015 and consider that fight his last hurrah since he would be 38 by then.

Vertex configurations and their relationship on orthogonal pseudo-polyhedra
Marzal, J., Xie, H. and Fung, C.C. (2011) Vertex configurations and their relationship on orthogonal pseudo-polyhedra. Proceedings of World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, 77 . pp. 1-8.
Vertex configuration for a vertex in an orthogonal pseudo-polyhedron is an identity of a vertex that is determined by the number of edges, dihedral angles, and non-manifold properties meeting at the vertex. There are up to sixteen vertex configurations for any orthogonal pseudo-polyhedron (OPP). Understanding the relationship between these vertex configurations will give us insight into the structure of an OPP and help us design better algorithms for many 3-dimensional geometric problems. In this paper, 16 vertex configurations for OPP are described first. This is followed by a number of formulas giving insight into the relationship between different vertex configurations in an OPP. These formulas will be useful as an extension of orthogonal polyhedra usefulness on pattern analysis in 3D-digital images.

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) announced today that American Robert Kendrick has been suspended from pro tennis for one year.
The ITF said the 31-year-old Kendrick tested positive for prohibited substance methylhexaneamine on May 22 at the French Open.
According to the ITF, "Kendrick asserted that the methylhexaneamine had got into his system through his ingestion of a capsule of Zija XM3, which he took to combat jetlag. He denied any intent to enhance his performance as a result of taking this substance."
The ITF accepted Kendrick's defense that he did not take the drug to enhance his performance. However, following the letter of the law, Kendrick did not have an "exemption" for the drug and thus is subject to the doping rules.
Kendrick, who is ranked No. 105, will be retroactively suspended from May 22, 2011 through midnight May 21, 2012.
Kendrick grew up in Fresno, California. He resides in Orlando, Florida with his wife and child.
