Special Correspondent
ONGOLE: Four persons were crushed to death between two buses at Peda Vura near Nagarjunasagar in the early hours of Thursday. All the victims belonged to Prakasam district.
An APSRTC bus coming from Hyderabad to Kanigiri stopped at Peda Vura due to traffic jam. Meanwhile, another RTC bus from Hyderabad to Ongole hit it from behind, leading to a dispute between the two drivers.
Even as they indulged in a wrangle, some passengers got down and stood between the two buses. Then, a private bus from Hyderabad to Ongole hit the second bus from behind, crushing four persons to death and injuring four others.
The victims were identified as Ramesh Reddy, 15, Rosaiah, 22, Adinarayana, 18, and Venkateswar, 22.
APSRTC Regional Manager N.S.C. Soloman Raju, told The Hindu that the next of kin of the victims would be paid an ex gratia of Rs. 2,000 each.
Nalgonda Staff Reporter writes: Inspector Manohar Reddy said: "The passengers were caught between the two RTC buses when the private bus hit one of them." Rash driving and negligence of the private driver is believed to be the reason for the accident.

Simply elegant and beautiful
The boathouse is a one of a kind vacation home/cabin that I would highly recommend to everyone. Earl and Karen have done an amazing job of renovating and decorating the boathouse. If you are looking for seclusion while enjoying the peaceful sounds of the waves crashing the shore you have to spend a few days at the boathouse. I took my Wife here for our Honeymoon and I honestly couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect place to get away and relax while enjoying the company of each other. We definitely will be renting the boathouse again in the future from Earl and Karen who are very gracious and thoughtful property owners.

Inter Milan coach Walter Mazzarri blamed match officials after their 4-2 defeat to Napoli.
Ricky Alvarez was controversially sent off to leave Inter with ten men.
"I complimented my players for their performance and I am proud of them. We are growing and now must work on our style of football, which today was exceptional. We made life difficult for Napoli and forced them to only go on the counter-attack in their own stadium," said Mazzarri.
"We weren't as concentrated on the preventative marking on the counter-attack, so we need to be more ruthless. I told my men that if we always play like this, we will not lose many games."
Mazzarri did not disguise his absolute disdain for referee Paolo Tagliavento, especially with regards to the Alvarez dismissal.
"There was a series of terrible mistakes that changed the game. When we were in control and 3-2 down, Alvarez was harshly sent off. The first card was harsh too, as he tripped up. I saw far worse challenges that were worthy of a card. I think with 11 men against 11 we could've got back on level terms.
"Perhaps Tagliavento is unlucky with us, as we've had two defeats all season and both were with Tagliavento making many mistakes. The other loss was against Roma with a non-existent penalty. We're unlucky with him, it keeps happening to us. Maybe Tagliavento is just out of shape."

Ranaldo: There was a big controversy in the avant-garde film world this past year about people playing over films that weren't specifically meant for that purpose. Sonic Youth did a benefit [at Anthology Film Archives in April 2003, shortly after Brakhage's death] to raise money for Brakhage's medical expenses, which were pretty phenomenal. But [Stan's widow] Marilyn Brakhage actually returned the money, because she felt like it endorsed musicians playing over Brakhage films. She since sent me a letter saying she appreciated the effort on our part, but she felt conflicted about it. Eventually the money was donated back to Anthology for the preservation of Brakhage films.
Brakhage was a real purist, but it's well documented that he didn't object to people using his films in other ways, as long as [the audience] was made aware that it's not a collaboration with him. The way we're using [his films], you're basically going to see a concert by this group, and the film is being played in the simultaneous space of the performance situation. We're not illustrating the film; we're not providing a real "soundtrack." We're just playing and the film is playing at the same time. It's not a purist way of viewing a Brakhage film. If you want to see a Brakhage film, you go to see it in a dark, quiet room. We're using it in a postmodern way that makes it into something else.

I think I've mentioned before that I've been taking a seminar on Native American history this semester. It's been an absolute blast, and I've learned a lot. My professor for that course, Dr. Julie Reed, will be on the next BackStory with the American History Guys to discuss depictions of American Indians through the years. Click here for info on how to listen.

Images of Native Americans on the next BackStory

Agency doesn't always look the way we want it to
I'm really enjoying the seminar I'm taking on Native American history. Last week we had a lively discussion about Nancy Ward, a prominent Cherokee woman of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries whose name has come up here on the blog before. One of my most pleasant surprises as a history buff was the day I was on a short road trip with my mom; our route unexpectedly took us right by Nancy Ward's gravesite, so I got to step out and take a look at it.
She made a name for herself when she was still a teenager in the 1750s, taking up her mortally wounded husband's gun during a battle with the Creeks. Shortly thereafter she married an English trader and became one of those cross-cultural mediators that popped up from time to time in the history of the American borderlands.
In the summer of 1776, as Cherokee warriors prepared to launch attacks on settlements along the southern frontier, word of the impending assault made its way to the whites. Nancy Ward was one of those responsible for sending the warning. When the attacks fell in July, the settlers were hunkered down behind the wooden palisades of their forts. Warriors did manage to capture Lydia Bean, wife of one of the first settlers in present-day Tennessee. As Beloved Woman, Ward had authority over the fate of prisoners and saved Bean from the stake, reportedly keeping the captive in her home to make butter and cheese until she could return home. It wasn't the only occasion Ward would use her influence to prevent the shedding of white blood.
The reason our discussion in class got lively was because Nancy Ward is a controversial subject for many modern Cherokees. My professor noted that some members of the tribe still consider Ward a traitor because of her affinity for the settlers and her tendency to intervene on their behalf, and one of my classmates (who does preservation work for the Eastern Band) cringed when her name came up. And by modern standards, it's hard to argue with the "traitor" label. What else would you call someone who sent word to the opposing side that her own people were about to launch an invasion?
But, as my professor pointed out, it's not quite that simple. For one thing, Ward's status as Beloved Woman gave her a certain amount of authority in matters of war and peace. In her excellent book Cherokee Women: Gender and Culture Change, 1700-1835, Theda Perdue discusses how women sought to maintain their prerogatives when it came to the disposition of captives, treaty negotiations, and other important business during the tumultuous eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Maybe Ward's actions had as much to do with the preservation of female power as it did with saving whites' lives.
More importantly, judging Ward reduces our ability to see their activity for what it was, namely a form of agency. "Agency" is a term we've been discussing a lot in that class. When you're dealing with marginalized and often voiceless historical groups—groups such as Indians, women, slaves, or the poor—it's important to remember that their circumstances didn't reduce them to passive blobs of matter. They remained human beings who confronted, resisted, and adapted to the forces around them. Historians spend a lot of time trying to recover the agency of marginalized people, and when they do, they usually identify agency with some form of resistance. Resistance can come in many forms besides open rebellion. Workers who protested harsh factory conditions, slaves who broke farming tools—these are the sorts of activities historians generally have in mind when people refer to "agency." Just because oppressed people weren't taking up pitchforks and raising hell doesn't mean they weren't holding on to their humanity. An act as simple as doing one's work a little bit more slowly than expected could be a form of resistance.
But maybe agency doesn't have to equal resistance at all. Any time some historical figure faced a choice and made a decision, they were exercising agency. Perhaps Nancy Ward's decision to forewarn the settlers was an act of agency, too. In fact, it was a pretty striking one; she chose to act in a way that seems counter to the interests of many of her own people.
Why did she do it? Maybe she thought a war with the whites would just bring down even harsher retribution, which is what indeed happened, and she wanted to minimize its effects. Maybe, as I suggested above, she felt the councils had failed to take into account her opinion and that of other leading women in the discussions that led up to the decision to launch the assaults. Maybe her marriage to a white trader had given her a soft spot for the settlers. I don't know. But whatever her motives, she decided to act as she did, even though she didn't act the way we might expect a woman in her position "should" act.
As a Native American woman (albeit a very influential and prominent one), Nancy Ward was the kind of person whose decisions usually didn't make it into the history books. But in her case, we get the opportunity to observe an Indian woman choosing to act, and doing so. Her choice might look odd to us, but it was still her choice. Nancy Ward made her choices and shaped her own circumstances, as surely as did the Indians who fought white encroachment to the last bullet and resisted acculturation to the last breath. As my professor put it, people want their historical Indians to behave like Geronimo, but not all of them did.
Sometimes historical figures acted in ways that seem nonsensical or even immoral to us. Our job is to figure out why they acted as they did, and what their choices can reveal about larger patterns of behavior and about the societies that produced them. We can't choose for them; nor can we judge their choices. The choices were ultimately theirs.

From the "Lincoln Was a Godless Communist" File
Because if there's one thing a longtime Whig like Lincoln couldn't stand, it was capitalism, right?
Religious right broadcaster Kevin Swanson agreed with one of his guests that Abraham Lincoln imposed socialism on the United States during the "war against the South" – more commonly known as the Civil War.
Swanson hosted neo-Confederate author Walter Kennedy last month on his radio program, reported Right Wing Watch, where the pair argued the Republican Party had been founded by "radical socialists and communists."
"The Democrats, both Northern and Southerners, believed in limited government, and the Marxists hated that concept," Kennedy said. "They wanted to do away with states' rights and limited government so that they'd have one big all-powerful indivisible government that could force its will upon the American people."
The broadcaster – who has argued the Disney hit movie "Frozen" was a satanic tool for indoctrinating girls to become lesbians — agreed with his guest, saying Lincoln and Mark Twain helped ruin the U.S. by replacing Southern slavery with socialist slavery.…
The author told Swanson that Lincoln had given a "big boost" to communism by winning the Civil War and then created a federal government that began an "incessant attack on religious values in America."
"What Marxist dictator could ask for less?" Kennedy said. "All of these communists that have wormed their way into power, into powerful positions, they began to influence other people to pursue this objective of a big, indivisible government, and government supplants God as being sovereign."

Revolutionary backwoodsmen ride onto the stage again
I'm obliged to Gordon Belt for passing this along. In North Carolina there's a new play in the works about the Battle of King's Mountain and the men who fought there. Here's how the play's author describes the backcountry settlers:
"They had a bone to pick with the British government even when they lived there," he said "They lived a hard life under landlords that were very hard to deal with. They had famine and drought, and they were seeking a new life in the New World where they could make a living, raise their families and worship as they please."
The settlers came to the backcountry of North and South Carolina and quickly adapted to the frontier area.
"They had to be rugged, independent people. They endured hardships, they had to fight Indians. They persevered," Inman said.
When the war began, the backcountry patriots just wanted the British to leave them alone.
"The British said, 'You have to support the crown.' They said, 'No, that's not the way we operate.' And so, they took up arms against the British and won," Inman said.
The backcountry settlers who fought in the Southern Campaign have been the subject of dramatic works before, especially in the 1950s, when Pat Alderman's outdoor drama The Overmountain Men premiered in Erwin, TN. It told the settlers' story from the genesis of the settlements west of the mountains through the Battle of King's Mountain.
Alderman eventually turned his research into a book, and if you compare the description of the settlers in its pages to the news item quoted above, you'll see that the characterization of the backwoodsmen hasn't changed much over the decades:
These frontiersmen were sons of frontiersmen, accustomed to the rugged life of the new country.…This unhampered wilderness freedom, far removed from royal rulers and their taxes, was to their liking. These bold, resolute men were self-reliant. They were independent, individualistic, and not always inclined to respect or observe the niceties of the soft life. Living on the outskirts of civilization, their law was to have and to hold.
In fact, you could quote lengthy passages from books on the backwoodsmen written in the late 1800s and find many of the same sentiments. It's fascinating to see how popular notions about the eighteenth-century frontiersmen have remained so steady.
For more information about Revolutionary-era settlers on the stage, check out Gordon's book on John Sevier in myth and memory. (Sevier was the subject of his own biographical play about sixty years ago.) And if you'd like to see an outdoor drama about the eighteenth-century settlers for yourself, Sycamore Shoals hosts a very popular and long-running show every year.

Remembering and forgetting John Sevier
If you're in the Knoxville area, come out to Marble Springs State Historic Site this Saturday at 1:00 P.M. Fellow history blogger Gordon Belt will talk about his new book John Sevier: Tennessee's First Hero, an examination of the ways we've remembered, misremembered, and failed to remember the man who probably did more than anyone else to create the Volunteer State.
The cool thing about this book is that it offers an accessible introduction to Sevier's life as well as a thoroughly researched examination of his place in tradition and memory. It traces the development of the Sevier legend across the three major phases of his life as a pioneer, a soldier, and a statesman, stopping along the way to address some of the more popular stories about him, such as the dramatic rescue of his future wife at Ft. Watauga, his involvement in the Franklin movement, and his public feud with Andrew Jackson.
I eagerly awaited the publication of Gordon's book, not just because it fits my personal research interests to a T but also because I think it will help address a troubling bit of historical amnesia we have here in Tennessee.
I think I first realized the extent of the problem the day I went to UT's library to borrow a book about Sevier. It was Carl Driver's 1932 biography, and I needed it for my master's thesis on memory and the Battle of King's Mountain. The guy behind the counter looked at the title and said, "Oh, the highway guy."
The highway guy? And then it hit me: Gov. John Sevier Highway loops around the southern and eastern sides of Knoxville.
He was the state's first governor, a member of Congress, a state senator, the only governor of the Lost State of Franklin, an officer in one of the Revolutionary War's pivotal battles, commander of the state militia, defender of the frontier and the scourge of the Cherokees. If we don't remember his stellar résumé, we should at least remember his name, because it's all over East Tennessee: Sevierville, Sevier County, Gov. John Sevier Animal Clinic, John Sevier Combined Cycle Plant, John Sevier Elementary School. Along with his nemesis Old Hickory, he's one of two Tennessee heroes in the U.S. Capitol's National Statuary Hall. Even his wife has an elementary school named in her honor.
But to the kid behind the library desk, he was "the highway guy."
The notion that a Tennessean of any era would be unfamiliar with the exploits of "Nolichucky Jack" would have come as quite a shock to his contemporaries. From the time of the American Revolution until his death in 1815, Sevier was one of the most popular men in his corner of the world.
But by the late 1800s, there was already a sense among antiquarians, regional authors, and amateur historians that Sevier and the other heroes of the old frontier had not received their historical due. These men were determined to rectify the problem, but they overcompensated. In the work of writers like James Gilmore and Francis M. Turner, Sevier became a frontier demigod. The hero-worshipping writers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries obscured the flesh-and-blood man behind a haze of tradition and sentimental prose.
There were other, later attempts to understand and commemorate Sevier and his times in the twentieth century. Some of the most interesting were on the stage, as the early settlement of Tennessee became the subject of outdoor dramas. On the printed page, regional historians like Samuel Cole Williams and Pat Alderman picked up where the antiquarians of the 1800s had left off. But separating the man from the myth remained a problem. Although Driver's biography is the most thorough cradle-to-grave treatment of Sevier, it dates back to the Great Depression.
Gordon's book is just the sort of fresh take we need to kickstart another revival of interest in one of the frontier's most important figures. Visit Marble Springs this weekend to hear him discuss it.
Glenn, Hillary, and history: pot, meet kettle
I can understand why the folks at Glenn Beck's news outlet would get a kick out of Hillary's Lincoln mistake. But the admonition against removing a speck from your neighbor's eye seems awfully appropriate here.

Hillary Clinton invokes 'Team of Rivals,' flubs a detail
Hillary Clinton was speaking in Chicago yesterday, and this happened:
A senator from Illinois named Lincoln? There might've been, if a guy named Stephen Douglas hadn't gotten in the way. Lincoln served a term in the House of Representatives, but not the Senate.
I never know how much to make of it when politicians trip over history like this. When it's something said in passing, it's hard to tell if the person just misspoke, or if it's really a case where an eminent public figure genuinely has no idea what they're talking about.
To me, the really interesting thing here isn't the flub about Lincoln, but the way Clinton has assimilated the whole Team of Rivals thing into her personal history, with herself cast in Seward's role as the frontrunner who becomes a member of the victor's cabinet. It shows you how deeply Doris Kearns Goodwin's book has penetrated into the way American political leaders remember and make use of history.

A number of interlocking concerns have emerged in recent months regarding the rights of mobile EU citizens, fueled in part by euroskeptic parties (such as the UK Independence Party), and more hard-line anti-immigration parties such as the Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Netherlands.
This article examines common challenges and factors influencing the development of local labor-market integration initiatives targeting immigrant youth, based on four city case studies conducted in the United States and the European Union.
Migration flows that were stalled for a period by the pronounced recession that began in 2008 have resumed to a number of OECD countries, including the United States where there appears to be a slight increase in Mexican migration for the first time in several years. More migrants seem to be choosing emerging economies, including Brazil, China, and South Africa, over traditional destinations.
Arrivals of unaccompanied minors to the United States surged during 2012, straining the child custody system. While the flows of unaccompanied child migrants to Europe remained stable, the European Union continues to grapple with policies regarding the treatment of this uniquely vulnerable population.
In 2012, significant challenges to existing EU policy, from Schengen to the Common European Asylum System, have constituted the chief concerns for migration management for both EU Member States and the European Commission. Beyond EU borders, there will be additional pressure for the European Union to offer a more concerted humanitarian response to the Syrian refugee crisis affecting Europe's neighbor Turkey in 2013.

A number of actors outside the formal educational context, including parents, peers, and other community members, can play an important role in the social and educational development of migrant children. This policy brief reviews current measures to promote the integration of migrant students around Europe, focusing on those initiatives that include the family and community as part of the educational process.
Employment-oriented mentoring is increasingly recognized in Europe as a tool for advancing the labor market integration of disadvantaged individuals, including immigrants. This report highlights a number of relevant one-on-one mentoring practices in Europe and North America, focusing on the role of different initiators and stakeholders, forms of collaboration, methods, and target groups.
Driven by rising migrant deaths in the Mediterranean, the Bay of Bengal, the Red Sea, and elsewhere, as well as by the challenges to border-control policies implicit in maritime migration, representatives of states, civil society, and international organizations gathered in December 2014 under the auspices of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to discuss ways to limit the loss of life and foster international cooperation. This commentary explores the issues and challenges surrounding irregular maritime migration.
A day-long conference in Brussels, co-sponsored by the International Labour Office and the European Commision's Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs, and Inclusion, where panelists discuss the dynamics by which migrants get stuck in low-skilled work, and the role of training and employment services in helping them progress in their occupations. The conference concludes a project and series of reports prepared on the Labor Market Integration of New Arrivals in Europe.
This report is the final one in an MPI-International Labour Office series that examines the employment prospects of migrants in the EU (focusing on the case-study countries of the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom), as well as the effectiveness of integration and workforce development policies in helping these workers overcome barriers and ascend out of low-skilled work.
It is crucial for children of migrant background in Europe to become proficient in their host country's main language of instruction. This MPI Europe policy brief provides key points and good practice examples on what comprehensive language support in Europe might look like.
For children of migrant background, school quality is critical to ensuring academic success. This MPI Europe policy brief examines how European policymakers can support school quality in four key areas: language diversity, the learning environment, social psychology and acculturation, and community connections.
Mentoring programs can target many core needs of children with an immigrant background that schools are not equipped to address, by providing specific and personalized support on the road to academic success. This policy brief prepared for the SIRIUS Network explores how European Union policymakers can make mentoring projects an integral part of the educational landscape at the EU level.

A low-tack adhesive allows the notes to be stuck and removed quickly with no residue left behind. Art Fry, of 3M, created the post-it note by using an adhesive developed by a colleague. 3M was...

Liquid Paper, a brand of the Newell Rubbermaid Company, is a type of correction fluid used to fix typewriting in the past and now handwriting mistakes. Bette Nesmith Graham created the first correction fluid in 1951. Since she worked as a typist she made many mistakes and wanted to correct them, so she started with tempera paint and created what she called Mistake Out. She even provided her co-workers with bottles that had the brand name on it. Soon Graham was fired from her typist job...
Roll film is any type of spool-wound photographic film. The film is protected from white light exposure by a paper backing as opposed to film which is protected by being wound forward in a cartridge. It was originally referred to as "cartridge" film due to its resemblance to a shotgun cartridge. The film can be loaded in daylight since it has an opaque backing paper. During use, the spool of roll film is pulled across to an identical spool as exposures are made, once the original spool is...

To disseminate, in terms of the field of communication, means to broadcast a message to the public without direct feedback from the audience. Dissemination takes on the theory of the traditional view of communication, which involves a sender and receiver. The traditional communication view point is broken down into a sender sending information, and receiver collecting the information processing it and sending information back, like a telephone line.

Health care reform, as exemplified in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, according to Rachel Groman and Koryn Rubin, "aims to change the US health care system from one that rewards quantity to one that rewards better value through the use of performance measurement." The authors discuss current barriers to this shift toward better care as well as initiatives created by both the federal government and physician societies in ensuring accountability and delivery of high-quality care to patients.
Drs. Peter Angevine and Paul McCormick discuss the science and methods used to measure clinical practice. They also speak of the benefits accrued from physicians' ease of access to the extensive outcomes research contained in clinical registries.
In 1987 the Gamma Knife first became available in North America, at the University of Pittsburgh, ushering in the practice of radiosurgery. Since that time Pitt has documented the techniques of this procedure and outcomes in patients who have undergone Gamma Knife surgery at that institution. Dr. Oren Berkowitz and colleagues review how the Pitt clinical registry evolved and how it has facilitated publication of numerous works on the Pitt experience, advancing knowledge of the techniques and outcomes of radiosurgery.
Dr. Matthew McGirt and colleagues describe an overview of their experience at the Vanderbilt Spine Center (Vanderbilt University Medical Center). Here outcomes data have been collected during routine spine care and recorded in a prospective fashion in a longitudinal registry. These data are used for learning and quality improvement; documentation of safety and effectiveness of care; and research into the comparative effectiveness of different procedures.
In March 2012, the National Neurosurgery Quality and Outcomes Database (N2QOD), sponsored by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons in cooperation with the Congress

Two-thirds of respondents plan on renovating their home this year.
Almost two-thirds of homebuyers say they'd like to improve their living space by adding environmentally-friendly features after moving in.
An American Express Spending and Saving Tracker survey found that 64 percent of homeowners will be investing in a renovation project of some kind in 2011. However, there's only so much that they're willing to spend. Respondents said they plan on spending no more than $3,400 to refurbish their homes, which is almost half of what respondents said they'd spend last year in a similar poll.
"This year, consumers are spending smart and looking for ways to save when it comes to home renovation," said Pamela Condispoti, executive vice president and general manager of the Consumer Card Services division for American Express.
The survey found that homeowners were looking to improve their home's energy efficiency by investing in new doors and windows, insulation and roofing.
Sixty-four percent of respondents said they planned to improve their homes by doing the renovation work themselves. This finding runs counter to what a Coldwell Banker Real Estate survey revealed last month, which was that 87 percent of respondents wanted their properties to be "move-in" ready upon arrival.

Woman Lives in Spanish Airport for Decade
A German woman has been living in a Spanish airport for 10 years, along with her cat, suitcases and books, say authorities who admit to looking the other way.
Known only as Bettina, 48, or as "the woman with the cat" has become a fixture at Palma de Mallorca's airport where she washes herself and clothing in restrooms and quietly moves from bench to bench. She came to Spain after a relationship ended and she lost her job. But employment opportunities there were also limited and she moved into the airport where she lives on gifts of food and money from strangers and friends, reported The Guardian Saturday.
Bettina is reportedly popular among airport staff.
"She is intelligent, discreet and does not bother anyone. She says she has made this her home because she has everything she needs here," cleaner MarÃa Jesus Rueda GarcÃa, 54, an airport employee, told The Guardian. "Things didn't work out so she has come to live here. She can get by and is not a beggar because she has income — I have seen her take money out of the cashpoint (automated teller machine). This could happen to us all."

The Channel 4 teatime series is to tackle the issue in a one-off late-night episode.
But last night the show's producers were under fire for the controversial storyline.
The violent sexual assault on Luke Morgan, played by Gary Lucy, comes after months of bullying at the hands of a gang leader.
National Viewers and Listeners Association director John Beyer said: "This is a most inappropriate storyline for a programme of this kind, which is watched by young people, and any idea that just because it is being shown at 11pm makes it right is just nonsense."
Church of Scotland Board of Social Responsibility convener Ann Allen said: "Rape is a dreadful and traumatic experience, but this is simply trivialising it."
It is the first time male rape has been addressed in a British soap.
The Chester-based series is aimed at teenagers but attracts younger viewers.
Family and Youth Concern said the soap was turning "human pain into entertainment".
Producer Phil Redmond admitted the plot was a bid to increase ratings but said: "In my experience, the more challenging the subject, the more viewers appreciate it."
A spokesperson for the Independent Television Commission said it would see how the issue is treated before it decides on any action against Mersey TV.
The one-off episode will go out on Wednesday, March 15.

Ucon Acrobatics
Dedication. That's what separates Ucon (an acronym for 'Urban CONquest') from the others. It originates from the time, effort and love that they put into every one of their garments. Since 2001 there has been a challenge for Ucon to see how far the company could be taken without strong financial backing but plenty of passion, creativity and determination. The mentality of using modern design and being completely unique continues to push 'em forward. From the designs, to the cuts, to the stitching, they put everything they can into their clothing so you will be proud to put on the four letters: U-C-O-N.

Review: McCall's 6355 | Earning My (Mariner) Stripes!
29 comments :
Cute dress!!! Love it. I wish we had a Hancock. Only Jo Ann fabric in Pittsburgh!ReplyDelete
Great dress and lovely overall outfit! I love your shoes, too. I have that pattern and some striped fabric ready to be dusted off.ReplyDelete
That stripe thing is weird. I've seen dresses like this in retail, but without the darts, and they make you look like you're wearing a tent if you're busty like me. I just bought a mariner stripe shirt. Still on a quest for the perfect white jean. I thought the low rise trend was over. Apparently not so much. This dress is too cute. I think I might pick up this pattern for an easy summer dress.ReplyDelete
TOO cute! I just finished the sleeveless version in a green knit from Joann's (I'm still getting my sewing skills together). You definitely make me want to try a stripe (not brave enough yet...the matching might drive me mad). Your dress is so perfect for spring/summer fun though...maybe I'll try it after all. :)ReplyDelete
Oh! I just bought that pattern becuase it looked like a good basic. I'm delighted to see what you did with it. I love nautical styles and stripes. You look great!ReplyDelete
Nice way to earn your mariner stripes. Love the look. Care free and easy going.ReplyDelete
Nice to see this done up. I've had this for awhile as a good "basic" I got nice knit fabric from Mood so I think I may just pull this out. You got the J-Crew happn'n!ReplyDelete
Such a classic dress! That's a really great pattern. I love the dart shaping...could see this in a woven as a little floral sheath, too.ReplyDelete
It looks great on you, Erica!
Hello! Great job on the M6355! You look Fab in it! My name is Valery and I work at the McCall Pattern Company in NYC. We would love to post your photos on our McCall Facebook page Fb.mccallpattern.com with your permission of course! In turn, we will post a link to your blog. Let me know at your convenience via my email address at email@example.com Have a great weekend!ReplyDelete
stripes look good on you!ReplyDelete
love your style :)
About Me
- Erica B.
- Welcome to my DIY Style blog! How many times have you seen clothes in an upscale department store or a posh boutique and cringed at the sight of the price tag? I've done it many times and have said to myself, "I could make that"! While reading my fashion sewing blog, you'll share with me in my adventures in taking "boring" patterns from drab to fab by creating "inspired" looks pulled straight from those boutiques, the runway and fashion magazines. Also my adventure in learning to tailor and couture sewing techniques.

Its amazing app i have looking for one like this long time ago. Really good
(50 stars)
Just perfect

The filming is high quality, the trainer is motivational and clear without being annoying and the exercises are great. However there is no training guide. Do I do the exercises every other day? Which order etc? I had to look at the comments on Amazon for the DVD product to get an idea of a training programme. A 5th star when this oversight is added.

Very good !!!

Tremendo work out para realizar indoors...

I use the app almost every day and love it. All I was lacking was warm up and cool down routines. This is what I needed to complete a perfect workout. I hope you add EFX to the available videos.

After the Indian Air Force facing innumerable fighter aircraft crashes, it now seems to be the turn of the Indian Navy to be affected by accidents. The reports — on the sad state of the Navy (Feb. 27) — show that the lax attitude of bureaucrats and Defence Ministry officials is what is resulting in the needless and unfortunate loss of lives. Why is the Ministry ignoring this factor and not ensuring that equipment is upgraded in a transparent manner? Why does corruption follow every deal? The accident gives one more opportunity for the Opposition to point fingers at the UPA.
S.P. Sharma,
The Indian Navy has been sailing through troubled waters for the past year. India has to work hard in ensuring indigenisation in all fields of defence research and development. We can ill-afford to be weak in terms of defence preparedness at this juncture when there is much regional tension and when the Indian Navy is spearheading India's cooperative engagement with the Indian Ocean region.
Kiran Jose,
Pala, Kerala
The resignation of the Navy chief reminds one of Lal Bahadur Sastri who was honest enough to resign from the post of Railway Minister after a major railway accident near Ariyalur in Tamil Nadu. One of the reasons for the Admiral's resignation is said to be his frustration over the indifference of successive governments and their failure to modernise the Navy. The fact shows that the government is least concerned about vital issues that concern the nation.
Meenakshi Pattabiraman,
"On every ship there is one man who alone is responsible for the safe navigation, accurate gunfire and morale of the ship. In the hour of crisis he can turn to no other. He is the commanding officer. He is the ship," is a quote I read decades ago in the magazine Naval Institute Proceedings — and imbibed in my functioning. Admiral Joshi's honourable act is in line with the onus of command in the quote. It is a fact that many of the ships and equipment in the Indian Navy are old. The Navy does not have a submarine rescue ship. It is not as if ships cannot survive over time but there have to be periodic midlife refits and modernisation. That seems to be largely absent. This is because the men in uniform, the stakeholders, are largely absent in procurement exercises. Despite rising costs, there is a slide in financial allocations. All this comes from a generalist handling of the defence forces. It is unfortunate that the Supreme Commander of the services, the President of India, has not said anything yet on the development given that all defence staff serve at the "pleasure of the President."
R.P. Chaturvedi,
Admiral D.K. Joshi's step is a rare phenomenon in Indian public life. He must have been very frustrated at the state of affairs in the Navy. It is shameful that highly qualified public servants have to face the music while the political class is left untouched.
Dileep B.,
Admiral D.K. Joshi's move is admirable, one that maintains the all but forgotten tradition of accountability. It also turns the spotlight on the way things are run in another important organisation, the Railways. No railway official, least of all the Railway Minister, has said anything of significance on the spate of rail accidents that have occurred in the recent past. The Railway Safety Commissioner seems to always submit a report that avoids any mention of the accountability of railwaymen.
S. Pushpavanam,

Diamondbacks recall LHP Nuno, send RHP Marshall down

DraftKings – El Nuno Watch
Call it recency bias. Call it trending stats. Call it your mom. I don't care. The Rockies on the road are still 'teh suck'. Earlier this week I told you to Leave It To Peav'er for similar reasons. If San Fran knew how to hit the ball and play defense, that call would've gone from decent to great. Well, and if Dave Eddings knew what the strikezone was or how to call a guy out...
Nuno makes strong case for D-backs rotation
PHOENIX -- Vidal Nuno could not have been much better his first Arizona start. Nuno mixed five pitches, touched every gradation on the radar gun from 92 mph to 74 mph, and generally had the Miami Marlins at his disposal through seven shutout innings Tuesday at Chase Field. He gave up only four hits and struck out a career-high seven. He did not permit a runner past second base. But...

New York Yankees: Enough of Vidal Nuno
Vidal Nuno has appeared in 14 games and started 11 for the New York Yankees this season, and I think we've seen enough. Nuno, 26, is 1-3 in those games with an abysmal 5.90 ERA. For pitchers who have thrown at least 60 innings, that's the worst ERA in the American League. He's given up 12 home-runs in 61 innings, and opponents are hitting a staggering .293 against him. With...

Yankees game 68: Nuno gives up game early
New York Yankees 5 — Oakland Athletics 10 Vidal Nuno struggled right from the beginning of the game. After a quick first inning on the offense, Vidal Nuno started the game and it was bad right away.

Makita Suzuki's
Ricky Carmichael
dominated the action in
this afternoon with a pair of runaway victories over Yamaha's
Chad Reed
. RC was over 24 seconds ahead of Reed at the end of the first, but the Australian had almost a minute on the next-best rider, American Honda's
Davi Millsaps
Ricky Carmichael swept the day on his Makita Suzuki, but it was the appearance of Subway/Coca-Cola's Jason Thomas in the top-five that gave race fans a breath of fresh air.
"This win is special, since this year the competition has been tough," explained Carmichael. "Chad definitely stepped it up this weekend. He always rides well at Budds Creek and I knew it was going to be tough. This track has changed a lot since I first came here. It isn't nearly as deep as it was and the turns kind of slot themselves into a single groove. It's actually getting like this at most of the tracks we go to. The dirt just seems to be fading away or something. We just tried to put ourselves in a good position and it turned out to be a great weekend for Makita Suzuki. Now, I think we are all looking forward to the weekend off."
There was much of the same in Moto 2 once Carmichael and Reed settled into their 1-2 running order. About that time things were looking good for Davi Millsaps who ran in third for the first half of the race. A problem on Lap 10 allowed Sobe/Samsung/Honda's Kevin Windham to take over third and moved MDK/Motorsports/Honda's Nick Wey into fourth. David Vuillemin finished fifth on his Motoworld Yamaha.
Wey was stellar with a pair of fourths and a fourth-place overall result. Right behind him was Jason Thomas whose season-first top-five catapulted him into 10th overall.

Motocross Lites
The effort of Monster/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto was perhaps more impressive than what took place in the premier class. In the first moto Villopoto came from as far down as 10th on the second lap and methodically reeled in the front runners before taking over the lead with four laps remaining. Makita Suzuki's Broc Hepler finished second in his first race back with Red Bull KTM's Nate Ramsey third.
"I was actually surprised at how well I did and I'm pretty happy with how it went," said Hepler. "I felt good out there and I think I'll be better for the next race. I don't think my conditioning is too bad - it's not where I would like it to be, but it is pretty good, for the amount of time I've had off. So we will just go out there and do the best we can and hopefully I will pick a few things up right away. I will just try my hardest to get my Makita Suzuki RM-Z250 back up on the podium."
In the second moto, Villopoto only had to work past four riders before taking the lead away from Red Bull KTM's Mike Alessi on lap nine. Alessi grabbed the lead on the first lap and rode his brains out trying to keep it, but the Kawasaki rider was not to be denied. Unfortunately for Alessi, both Villopoto and Short got past him and then to make matters worse, Sobe/Samsung/Honda's Josh Grant did the same with three laps to go. Villopoto's sweep pulled him to within seven points of his nemesis Alessi in the points chase.
Both Alessi and Short overcame dismal finishes in their first moto appearance with impressive rides in the second. Shorty is now tied with Grant for third at 135 points apiece.
Boost Mobile/Yamaha of Troy's Brett Metcalfe was fifth in both motos, good enough for fourth overall.

In the middle of Carlton in the wine country Walk to everything in Carlton
Bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets. The staff was very polite and helpful. The breakfast was better than most continental breakfasts and had a great selection for the children. The room was clean and spacious.
Centrally located for the area. Staff members were pleasant.
Property is starting to age, several small repairs needed throughout property. Enough that it was apparent this property is now independently owned.
It's always clean and the staff is very nice.
The bed is hard as a rock and the curtains needed some help from our towels to block out the lights from the parking lot.
Nice big rooms with a double sink vanity.
No, all was good.
The location is close to the University.
Very old and outdated.
The comfortable bed and pillows. And the peace and quiet.
The room was incredible for the price!
The staff wasn't always around even during the day. But they were all extremely nice and helpful! So overall it was amazing!
I liked the pool (and shower), hot tub, and sauna. It was great how there was a computer in the breakfast area, it made it easy to get stuff done. The room was great. It was in a nice spot, with plenty of places to eat nearby. The beds were fine.
The sauna made a weird, loud noise whenever it was turned on (That's why the public spaces is a 9), but after it was heated up we could turn it off and enjoy it.
Staff was wonderful, housekeeping (Hotel employee) was exceptional and room was very comfortable
Could be nice to have privacy divider next to jacuzzi in room
Location to Liinfield College.
The lighting in the room was not very good. Even with lamps on. The beds were not comfortable and are made with sheets and a thin blanket. Maybe a little overpriced for what you get for a room.
I like that the hotel is centrally located in McMinnville. It is on a beautiful piece of property lined with with trees. Also very quiet and clean.
It was very cold at night with only a light blanket available. The heater is in an alcove next to the bathroom and doesn't heat the room very well.
Great hospitality
Good location for visiting Pacific University. Signs of upgrades in the works with active painting in a room I passed. Appears it might have recently changed hands and be improving.
Room was okay but overall appearance in the halls was that of a dive. Dirty stained carpet appeared littered with filth, though I didn't get close to check. Some down and out-appearing occupants.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Elderly-friendly medical care: Family members have role to play
I COMMEND SingHealth's initiative to address concerns faced by patients, especially the elderly, at public hospitals and polyclinics ("Tips to offer more friendly medical care for seniors"; last Saturday).
While facilities can be made more elderly-friendly, there are other aspects to be considered, such as family involvement.
Caring for older patients, who need assistance in one form or another, should be the medical staff's responsibility as well as the family's.
A senior would feel more at ease if there is a family member around to help inform the doctor about matters such as the patient's medical history, treatment and medication.
Nurses and assistants are often sources of valuable information and support; they may explain things to the patient better than the doctor.
To this end, it would be good to have a department for patients to seek advice while waiting to see the doctor.
To ensure users benefit from such elderly-friendly amenities, family members can play an important role by accompanying seniors to the clinic or hospital.
This will free up health-care staff to attend to other matters.

Mike Hanlon
Mike grew up thinking he would become a mathematician, accidentally started motorcycle racing, got a job writing road tests for a motorcycle magazine while at university, and became a writer. As a travelling photojournalist during his early career, his work was published in a dozen languages across 20+ countries. He went on to edit or manage over 50 print publications, with target audiences ranging from pensioners to plumbers, many different sports, many car and motorcycle magazines, with many more in the fields of communication - narrow subject magazines on topics such as advertising, marketing, visual communications, design, presentation and direct marketing. Then came the internet and Mike managed internet projects for Australia's largest multimedia company, Telstra.com.au (Australia's largest Telco), Seek.com.au (Australia's largest employment site), top100.com.au, hitwise.com, and a dozen other internet start-ups before founding Gizmag in 2002.

Citroen DS3 Cabrio now offers al-fresco driving
September 5, 2012
Its engine has won its class in the International Engine of the Year Awards for the last six years running, it won the World Rally Drivers and Constructors Championship at its first attempt in 2011 and will win both championships again this year. Indeed, it has won numerous journalist-bestowed awards in the last two years including Top Gear's 2010 "Car of the Year." Now it's available with a sliding top which combines a three-position convertible roof with a hatchback shape, frugality, and heaps of fun. It is Citroen's DS3 Cabrio, and although we won't see it in the metal until the Mondial de l'Automobile (Paris Motor Show) later this month, it will be in showrooms within six months. Read More
Honda develops a more fuel-efficient scooter
September 3, 2012
With the motorcycle about to pass the automobile as the world's best selling form of motorized transport, Honda is continuing to push the capabilities of the internal combustion engine with the release of two new scooter models - the SH125i and SH150i - capable of 47.4 km/liter (111.5 mpg) and 43.8 km/liter (103 mpg) respectively. To be produced in Italy, the new fuel-injected SH models feature stop-start and a range of low friction technologies. Read More
Cholmondeley Pageant of Power in pictures
June 29, 2012
The Cholmondeley Pageant of Power (CPoP) turned on its annual kaleidoscope of horsepower, adrenalin and engineering intrigue this week. The four wheel lap record was shattered by a Caterham, the BAC Mono was the fastest road car, while the cars running against the clock included an Ariel Atom 500 V8, Radical SR3 SL, Aston Martin One-77 and Noble M600. There was a Volkswagen "Schwimmwagen" amphibian, an Edison-Puton Monowheel, and a curious BMW built during WWI using a 45.8-liter V12 BMW aircraft engine. The gallery is a wonderful pictorial celebration of CPoP. Read More
Despite the coming of the electric vehicle during the last decade, there were far more electric vehicle manufacturers in the world 100 years ago than there are today. Hundreds of manufacturers, a large proportion of them electric, competed in the fledgling automotive marketplace. This competition drove these manufacturers to seek new and novel ways to seek publicity, and when a French Automobile magazine ran top speed trials in December 1898, it sparked a flurry of record attempts and six land speed records in just four months. The electric Jamais Contente, which was the first purpose-built speed record attempt car, prevailed in this early tussle by raising the land speed record to 105.878 km/h (65.79 mph) in April 1899.

Now here's a clever solution for transporting, storing and charging multiple tablet computers for hospitals, schools, retailers and even bingo halls. The PowerCRATE is a portable (you can even air-freight tablets in situ) solution for charging 25 tablets simultaneously without connecting any power leads. Any brand of tablet can be used, charging can be on demand or programmed to take advantage of night-time electricity tariffs and each tablet can be locked inside its individual charging bay.

Aston Martin revives the Vanquish nameplate
June 20, 2012
The Vanquish name is to return to the Aston Martin stable with deliveries of the 183 mph, £190,000 (US$299,000) sports car expected in late 2012. There's a lot of the limited edition £1.2m One-77 supercar in the recipe, with a 565 bhp 6.0-liter V12 driving through a Touchtronic six-speed automatic gearbox, and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.1 seconds.

Of all the places you might meet a significant other, underwater is probably the last place that springs to mind. Hence, I guess, the novelty of an underwater nightclub. Created as a viral campaign for TechnoMarine Underwater watches, the unique nightclub "launch" was filmed at a military training facility with navy divers and the set was built 14 feet (4 m) underwater. The breathing helmets are from the commercially-available Sea Trek system, so perhaps it's not all that implausible after all. Read More
The propagation of new thought in any global arena doesn't take long these days and with rapid development teams capable of building and testing prototypes in just a few months, entire markets can seemingly spring from nowhere. In 2009, JetLev showed its US$100,000 Jetlev (top left). Within months of production starting, French PWC legend Franky Zapata recognized that most of the hardware required for such a device was already contained in a PWC and created the Flyboard (top right) - a US$7500 accessory that attaches to any existing PWC with 150 plus horsepower. Now the people who brought you the Sea Breacher (bottom left) have completed a long-standing project to build the Jetovator (bottom right), a jet bike with a motorcycle seating position and controls. Three competitors makes a market - and all inside three short years. Read More
Bionx has taken its proportional assist technology used in pedal-assist bicycles and developed the SeaScape 12, a low-maintenance, no noise and no local pollution craft that's designed to carry two adults and two children and will deliver a speed of 5 knots (5.8 mph) for around 4-5 hours. It's a human-electric hybrid for the water. Read More
Electric motorcycle racing became a lot more interesting today when the TT Zero race at the Isle of Man was run and the top three riders all finished at average speeds of more than 100 mph. The win went to the Segway MotoCzysz team with Michael Rutter producing a lap of 104.56 mph but the extra strong showing of a 102.215 mph lap on the Mugen (Honda) ridden by John McGuinness indicates the electric bike racing scene is going to be very competitive in the near future.
