Swim style sewing tips
Tips on sewing stretch fabrics
Stretch fabrics have a few dos and don'ts just like woven fabrics .If you have never sewn with stretch before, than all I can say is why?
Stretch fabrics offer a whole new world in the choice of designs on offer !Not to mention it can be a lot less complex than sewing traditional woven styles ,which include zippers ,open seams ,facings –shall we go on !
Stretch fabric produce a beautiful fit without panels, darts & so on.
Sewing stretch fabrics
Most of the seams in stretch sewing are sewn on your overlocker ,or stretch stitch from the basic sewing machine .They are generally closed ,not pressed open like woven seams .Necklines are finished with binding most of the time .
Stretch fabrics
Most stretch fabrics do not fray like woven so this also make the sewing process easier.
The stretch factor is varied, low stretch, medium and high stretch fabrics such as lycra.
Some low stretch fabrics only stretch across the fabric (weft) ,to the high stretch fabrics which generally stretch both ways .
You often have to use your own common sense here depending on what you want to make ,feel the fabric test the stretch fabric .The more you work with these fabric the more accustomed you will be with the variations of stretch fabrics. Just like woven fabrics one stretch might suit a style better than another. You will learn to use this to your advantage.
The dos
Use a stretch stitch
Use a ball point needle
Use patterns designed for stretch fabrics
Sewing machines
A basic machine with a zig zag stitch will get you started.
Over locker /serger machine is a great investment for stretch sewing.
Ok you get the message always use a stretch stitch unless otherwise stated on pattern directions .Most machines have at least 10 different stretch stitches .Have a play with each stitch type .I find the simple zig zag stitch works the best .You will have different widths on your machine in zig zag stitches which are all useful depending on the seam or hem.
Zig zag stitch ,when using this stitch as a hem or top stitch make it a close zig zag (smaller stitch length ) this will give a more professional look .
Over lockers /sergers are invaluable in sewing stretch fabrics; you can often sew almost the entire garment with this machine .It will save you heaps of time also.
If you are lucky enough to have a cover stitch machine, you will know how this machine turns your creations into professional works of Art!
The don'ts
Stretch designs are very different to woven styles in cut and sewing techniques.
Don't use a pattern for woven designs.
Don't use a standard needle.
Don't use the woven methods of sewing seams.

They show off their progress during monthly club meetings, working with a tight-knit group of like-minded musicians until they feel confident enough for public performance. In group classes, kids as young as 6 get to tickle ivory, strum steel, and set their uvulas abuzz with their burgeoning baritones. On May 4 from 12–4 p.m., Music House School of Music celebrates the grand opening of its Lenexa location, which will feature live music, free classes and lessons for ages 6+, surprise goody bags, and refreshments.

CMS Phase 3: Implementation
Implementation of any CMS goes smoothly when planning and structure accompany the import procedure. Brandeis used the CMS Implementation phase to classify its websites into categories, and to establish a set of design guidelines to provide a foundation for site designs post-CMS adoption.
We asked ourselves many questions (and continue to do so as implementation rolls along), including what might seem as more philosophical (but very important) questions such as: 'what makes a website?', 'what is our overall web structure now, and what do we want it to be?', 'how can the CMS help impart a better structure to our entire web presence?' We did an inventory of all the php and javascript in use on our site, and asked 'what php and JS can the CMS - by virtue of its built-in templating system - eliminate?'
It was clear that some site structural changes would help get a site into the CMS (in terms of making it easier, later, on the content editor). Developing answers to these questions led us to develop import and creation procedures. We built an import 'script' - an illustrated step-by-step methodology for site preparation before using the import tool. We continue to refine and evaluate this procedure as we move forward.

Tag: polygamy
In Texas, the Court of Appeals this week (May 22) said state officials were wrong and not have enough evidence to justify removing more than 400 children from the compound of a polygamous sect.
Polygamy was outlawed by the Mormon Church more than 100 years ago, but it has survived in pockets, largely isolated on the edge of Mormon society and the law. The recent trial and conviction of Warren Jeffs shed some light on the practices of the polygamist group he led, called the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Jeffs case has galvanized efforts to rehabilitate children leaving these communities who number anywhere from 600 to 1,000. Correspondent Lucky Severson provides a glimpse into their lives.

Kovalchuk: I don't really care who I play against
Jun 1, 2012, 6:55 PM EDT
Ilya Kovalchuk wasn't much of a factor in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals and Kings defenseman Drew Doughty deserves some of the credit for that. As we previously reported, the Devils aren't going to shy away from that matchup.
"In order to get (Kovalchuk) away (from Doughty and Scuderi), we're going to have to get away from a four-line game, which has been our strength," Devils coach Peter DeBoer said. "If they're matching up against Kovalchuk, then they're not matching up against (Zach) Parise or other guys."
Kovalchuk seems to be comfortable with the Devils' plan.
"I don't really care who I play against, we just have to work as a line, actually a five-man unit because that's when we're successful," Kovalchuk said. "In the third we started moving the puck and we started forechecking better. It doesn't really matter who you're playing against, you just have to be on top of your game and let them make decisions.
"I've played against some good Ds and figured out how to go through them by doing the things I'm supposed to do. That's what I will try to do next game."
Naturally, if the Devils strategy doesn't work out in Game 2 on Saturday, DeBoer might change his tune. He has embraced significant changes in the past, particularly in the Eastern Conference finals following their shutout losses against New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist in Games 1 and 3.

""I don't really care who I play against" …
Trust me friends, if Kovalchuk doesn't care about who he's playing against, then he "sure as hell" better start caring soon ! Otherwise, this thing is going to turn into a complete rout for us LA Kings ! I've never cared for this Kovalchuk and his "bourgeois" attitude towards the game. He like so many others, are nothing more than "social parasites" who simply "take" from the equation (ie: they are not "net" contributors). As a Kings fan, I have to say that I'm not displeased to read this article. Nonetheless, Kovalchuk is not the glaring chink in the Devils armor, which was bared "naked" for all of us to see the other night. Man, I seriously can't wait for tomorrow night now ! … these are "good times" friends ! … GO KINGS GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!
- vindicatus - Jun 2, 2012 at 1:00 AM
"Bourgeois?" I don't think that word means what you think it means.
- knowsfirsthand - Jun 2, 2012 at 7:50 AM
He will care when Brown lays him out.
The Kings were rusty on Wednesday night. They'll be flying again tonight.
- blomfeld - Jun 2, 2012 at 2:41 PM
"here here" to that knowsfirsthand ! … our Kings were indeed a bit rusty the other night, though that's hardly surprising after being off for eight days, eh ? … but like you, I also predict that our Kings go "nuts" tonight and light up the Devils net like a cheap "Made in China" Christmas tree ! … good times !
- vindicatus - Jun 2, 2012 at 9:07 AM
"Whether the stone hits the pitcher, or the pitcher hits the stone, it's going to be bad for the pitcher." I think Brown is the one who had better watch out if he tries to take a run at Kovalchuk.
- blomfeld - Jun 2, 2012 at 2:48 PM
a good analogy friend … unfortunately for you however, your lazy, self-centered "bourgeois" hero Kovalchuk is the pitcher, while our values-driven "inspiring" brave hero Brown is the stone ! …

One word: Blackberry.
Maybe the iPhone established smartphones in the consumer market. Smartphones were well-established in the business market before the iPhone and the Blackberry to this day owns that market.

Also neat that they kept the classic Klingon trefoil insignia.
And before anyone asks, there's no continuity error here. ENT: "Divergence" established that only a percentage of the Klingon population lost their ridges to the Augment virus. Indeed, I'm wondering if they later adopted the masks as a way of equalizing the two types of Klingon, so that one couldn't tell whether another Klingon was ridged or not.
Hmm. I've always thought that hair (wearing it in certain ways, braiding etc) was an integral part of the Klingon "makeup", though.

Stats That Matter: Enough with the missed tackles
Posted on: October 26, 2011 10:02 am
Edited on: October 27, 2011 1:42 pm
Our Stats That Matter examines the man behind the most improved unit in college football this season, new Michigan defensive coordinator Greg Mattison. Under the former Baltimore Ravens DC, the 6-1 Wolverines are eighth in the country in scoring defense, up from 108th last year. Yeah, you could say jumping 100 spots nationally is a remarkable turnaround. It's been a dramatic shift, not just in scheme but in execution for a group that is no longer giving up one big play after another and has been able to avoid surrendering those heart-breaking third-down conversions. Michigan ranked 95th in that in 2010 and is up to a respectable 54th.
Mattison traces that improvement to one of his points of emphasis: cutting down on missed tackles. His barometer: "We want eight or less per game," he said.
The Wolverines are averaging around six missed tackles per game, by the Michigan staff's tabulations. The Wolverines hit Mattison's target in five of their seven games. Not so surprisingly, the Wolverines needed some late-game heroics from quarterback Denard Robinson to overcome a game where they had 11 missed tackles in a 35-31 win over Notre Dame. In Michigan's last time out, a 28-14 loss at Michigan State, UM suffered its first loss after it ended up with three times the number of missed tackles it has averaged this fall.
How did Mattison arrive at the eight missed-tackle benchmark? Of course, he would love to see his team not miss a single tackle over the course of a game, but Mattison says you have to be realistic. The athletes you're trying to defend are so talented, so quick, so strong and so determined that you're almost bound to have at least a few missed tackles in 60 minutes.
For Wolverines fans, watching their defense in recent years had to be excruciating as the team surrendered soul-crushing third-and-long conversions, often due to missed tackles. The Wolverines allowed opponents to convert on a lofty 24 percent on situations of third-and-10 or longer in 2010. Worse still, that number jumped to a staggering 35.4 percent in the second half of the season. This year in the same situations, the number is down to just 8 percent.
When I asked Mattison about the psychological effect of a guy missing a tackle, enabling the defense not to be able to get off the field on a third-and-long, he pointed out even the verbiage of such a question gets to the core of what he's looking to remedy.
"It shouldn't be 'a' guy," Mattison said. "For us, when we came in here, our whole thing was, the players are the players we have. That's it. It's not like the NFL where you can draft somebody or trade somebody. Our whole goal was to get the players that we have on defense to play 'Michigan Defense.' And when we say 'Michigan Defense,' that means it was first, an honor to play for Michigan. And once it was honor to play at Michigan, it became an obligation to play at that standard. That level was established a long time ago. You just had to play up to that level, and that level, in its simplest form, came down to pursuing to the football. You had to play hard on every play. A loaf, or taking a play off or not going hard, was just unacceptable. I think that's something we've really worked hard to try to get back to.
"Along with that, there's a difference between running to the football and burning up calories, and running to the football with an intent of hitting a guy as hard as you can hit him and tackling him.
"If you watch college football, you'll see some teams where guys run real hard and burn up a lot of energy, but they're not going at the right pursuit angles or more importantly, what might've been the case is your secondary doesn't keep the ball inside and in front of them, so what happens is the other seven guys that are running to the football, sooner or later, quit running. But if they know that the ball is corralled, and they know that the secondary is going to keep it in a cup there, then 'I'm going to get a good shot at him if I run to the ball.' And that is something we've tried very hard to establish. You have to keep the ball inside and in front. The biggest reason for giving up big plays is not always missed tackles, it's because there's only one guy trying to make the tackle. But if the corner and the safeties and the other corner all keep it cupped and corralled, then the rest of the team can get there and you have those gang tackles, which keep you from giving up big plays."
Mattison, who replaced Greg Robinson as the Wolverines defensive coordinator in the offseason, tried to steer clear of talking about what may be different scheme-wise or even technique-wise in how the team prepares for gamedays:
"I don't want to talk about anything that was done before. I know what we believe in defensively. You have to keep it inside and in front. There is never, ever an option of not going hard to the football. And the key words are 'to the football' and where the football is going to be. If you see the ball breaks outside and a big lineman is chasing, he's never gonna catch it: 'Don't chase it, cut it off! Go where it's gonna be!' We practice that every single day all the time. Every single practice play if that lineman is not running at an angle where he can go make the play, he is going to hear about it. And if he does it too much, he won't be in there. Our guys have bought into that. They truly understand now that that's how you're supposed to play when you wear the winged helmet on defense."
Toward that end, Mattison has the team tackle live one day of the week in practice. "A lot of teams don't do that," he said. "Every individual drill by position there is a period of tackling that is done one day a week."
Having to cope with someone as elusive and explosive as Robinson and his backup, Devin Gardner, another fleet-footed quarterback, also help condition the Wolverines defense, Mattison says, adding that, "I go home every night and I drop down on my knees and say a little prayer: 'Thank you for not making me play against Denard in a game.'"
It wouldn't seem like a stretch to think all of the preaching about taking proper pursuit angles, running to the football and gang tackling is the reason why Michigan is tied for tops in the country with 14 fumbles recovered. That also comes out of just 16 loose fumbles. Other teams around the Wolverines in that category high in the NCAA rankings actually have a much lower percentage of fumbles recovered. (Last year, the Wolverines were 87th in fumble recoveries with just seven, which came from 12 free footballs.)
Mattison certainly buys the cause-and-effect theory. "Somebody asked me one time, 'Have you guys been really lucky?' Well, I don't ever comment on luck or not lucky, but I think preparation and effort gives you that luck. Over the years, you've seen so many games where somebody decided not to run to the football and the offense fumbles it and that ball is just laying out there. You look at them and say, 'If you'd just would've went harder, you would've gotten that ball.'"
While the true worth of how good this Michigan defense will be revealed over the next month with games remaining against five teams with all winning records, including archrival Ohio State, Mattison is optimistic about the young base of talent he has in Ann Arbor.
"Jake Ryan is a redshirt freshman, who is gonna be a heckuva player and he plays with great effort. Freshman Desmond Morgan is coming on, so is Blake Countess, another freshman. Brandin Hawthorne is also really improving."
The player who seems to have made the biggest impression on him is a former walk-on safety, junior Jordan Kovacs. "When I think of a Michigan football, I think of Jordan Kovacs," Mattison said. "But you have to re-earn it every game to get labeled a Michigan Defensive Player."
There are other defenders on the team who have made some big plays for the Wolverines this year, who Mattison says think they're playing hard, think they playing well, but the 61-year-old coach points out to them that they're playing hard, compared to what? It comes back to the kid not really knowing what he doesn't really know.
Before coaching in the NFL, Mattison had spent five years in Ann Arbor in the mid-'90s, helping lead the Wolverines to a Rose Bowl. He's seen Michigan when it was a Big Ten powerhouse. He's also coached at Notre Dame and worked against the Wolverines when they won a national title. He remembers what made the program special and is convinced it's on the right path to get back to that now under first-year head coach Brady Hoke, a former Wolverines assistant.
"It's like you went back 15 years," says Mattison. "He has done such a fabulous job of instilling all of the pride and all of the tradition that made Michigan great. This guy is perfect for Michigan because of the love and the belief that he has in this program. There is a misconception that I think everybody thought 'They have great players.' Well, there were a lot of really good players, but it's that they played really, really hard and they all played for the team. And Brady has done an unbelievable job of bringing that back."

Stats That Matter: Enough with the missed tackles
Mattison has made a huge difference to Michigan this year. Championships are won with great defense or an unstoppable offense, more the former than the latter. However Wisconsin looms. That game is the season and I don't think Mattison or the Wolverines have an answer for the Badgers yet. Another year or two and Michigan possibly becomes the National Powerhouse it once was with the direction Mattison is taking them.

The officials say the rockets hit the town of Arsal on Friday. The official National News Agency says the attack also wounded 15 people.
It was not immediately clear who fired the rockets but residents in the area say heavy fighting has been taking place on the Syrian side of the border since Thursday.
The Syrian civil war has increasingly spilled over into neighboring Lebanon, where violence from rockets, car bombs and sectarian clashes has claimed dozens of lives in the past year.

Killer Mike - 10 G's
Artist: Killer Mike
Producer: Sears
Album: I Pledge Allegiance 2 the Grind II
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 34 votes )
Following his city-reppin' single, 2 Sides, rapper Killer Mike is back in the Booth with a brand new joint from his much-anticipated sequel album, I Pledge Allegiance 2 The Grind II. Over a classic Biggie sample (from Kick In The Door), the Atlanta native and Grind Time General shows off his career progress, detailing the transition from earning 10 G's for blow, to a more lucrative 30 G's for a show. Accompanied by producer Sears's heavy bass-keyboard combo (loud enough to shatter many a car window), 10 G's will undoubtedly be a hit among Killer Mike's intended audience - those on their grind. I Pledge Allegiance 2 The Grind II will be released on July 8 and Mike will be inside the Booth for an interview next week.

SAYRE, Pa., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Sayre Area School District in Bradford County today became the first Pennsylvania school district to begin administering Novel H1N1 influenza vaccine to its student population, the Department of Health announced.
The department also reminded all parents that immunizations play a significant role in keeping children healthy.
"The H1N1 virus is disproportionately affecting school-aged children, with almost two-thirds of all cases in Pennsylvania seen in those aged 5-24 years," said acting state Physician General Dr. Stephen Ostroff. "The H1N1 vaccine offers the best protection to school students against this virus."
The Sayre Area School District is using the live, attenuated influenza vaccine, or LAIV, also known by the brand name FluMist. This vaccine is a nasal spray and is licensed for healthy persons between 2-49 years of age. This vaccine is not recommended for some members of the other priority groups, including pregnant women, children under two years of age, those with certain underlying health conditions, and healthcare providers who care for patients with significant impairments in their immune system. The Department of Health will also provide the injectable form of the flu vaccine.
Children under 10 years of age will need to receive a second dose of the vaccine at least 21 days after their first dose. Those students are scheduled to get their second dose on Nov. 13. The Department of Health will work with the school district to assure there will be vaccine available to those students who need to receive the second dose.
Today's vaccination clinic at Sayre Junior-Senior High School was organized and run by the Sayre School District with assistance from the Department of Health District Office and State Health Center in Bradford County. More than 400 students signed up to be immunized.

Cut denim into rectangles big enough to drape over the top of your flip flops and cover the straps. Turn the flip flop upside down and use a marker to trace the outline of the straps.
Cut around the marker line, leaving about an inch all the way around the marker line. Use scissors to clean up the edges, rounding them as you go.
Cut the outer edge of the doily off. If using lace, cut enough to cover the full length of the shoe's straps.
To fray the edges of the denim, use scissors to add small snips all the way around. It helps to loosen the fabric allowing you to fray more easily. You can fray it by pulling at strands with your fingers. I also found it helpful to drag the edge of the scissors along the fabric.
Position your lace along the center of the denim and glue in place with E6000.
- Glue the denim to the flip flop straps and allow to dry overnight before wearing them.

So you take a crochet doily, which can't be made on a machine and necessited hours of work to complete, and you cut it in pieces? Would you be pleased if I destroyed your flip-flops to make confetti? Because what you've done is about as thoughtful as that. Rating wants me to give you at least a star, unfortunately.

Become a Landscape Engineer: Career Roadmap
Learn how to become a landscape engineer (also known as landscape architect). Research the job descriptions, education, and licensing requirements and find out how to start a career in landscape engineering/architecture.
Do I Want to Be a Landscape Engineer?
Landscape engineers, more often called landscape architects or landscape designers, use science, math, and nature to create accommodating outdoor scenery and living areas. Residential, commercial, and government industries each have a need for landscape engineers. These professionals are experts in planning and creating land areas for parks, commercial properties, industrial parks, residential areas, highways, and airports.
Landscape architects typically work full-time splitting there day between an office and working in the field. These professionals typically work long hours, but the pay is higher than the average, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, it should be taken into consideration that these professionals generally need 4-5 years of schooling before they can get started in the field. Job opportunities for landscape engineers are expected to grow 16% from 2010 to 2020.
Job Requirements
Bachelor's degrees are a fairly standard minimum educational requirement in this profession. The following table outlines other common requirements employers look for in their prospective landscape engineers, based on job ads posted in the American Society of Landscape Architects during September and October 2012 (www.asla.org).
|Common Requirements
|Degree Level
|Bachelor's degrees are standard; master's degrees may be preferred
|Degree Field(s)
|Landscape Architecture, Recreation and Park Administration, related fields
|Licensure and/or Certification
|State license for landscape architecture
|Minimum 3 years of experience; might need up to 7 years for some positions
|Key Skills
|In-depth knowledge in construction, architecture, horticulture
|Computer Skills
|CAD software, desktop publishing, graphics and photo imaging software, spreadsheet software
|Technical Skills
|Use of digital cameras and camcorders, global positioning system receivers (GPS devices)
|Additional Requirements
|Ability to interpret specifications and contract documents; knowledge of horticulture, plant selection, and plant installation; comfortable with giving presentations
Step 1: Complete a Degree Program
Bachelor's degree programs in landscape engineering may take 4-5 years to complete. Students in landscape engineering programs learn about ecological design, horticulture, and site planning. Some programs may even cover sustainability, eco-friendly landscaping processes, and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.
Success Tips:
- Prepare for licensure. In order for an individual to practice as a landscape engineer or landscape architect, one must pass an exam for state licensure. While in school, it is a good idea for students to start preparing for this exam. Students should acquire all the information they need about the licensing examination through their professors and academic advisors.
- Consider a dual program. Some schools offer offer dual programs. Studying two related programs can be beneficial because candidates can show their expertise in a broader way, giving them the edge in competition when looking for employment. Some of the dual programs available include majoring in landscape architecture with a minor in urban planning.
- Participate in an internship program or acquire an entry-level position while in school. According to the BLS, employers prefer to hire candidates who have had entry-level positions in landscape architecture or engineering. While in school, students should inquire about internship programs or on-the-job training opportunities through the school's career services department.
Step 2: Gain Work Experience
License applicants may need a specific number of hours of work experience before sitting for the licensing exam, and this number may vary by state. Additionally, many employers require job candidates to have experience before they can be hired. This experience can be gained through entry-level positions, apprenticeships or internships.
Success Tips:
- Sharpen presentation skills. Often, landscape engineers/architects are required to present plans and drawings to their clients as part of their job duties. Individuals who find this uncomfortable should consider joining the 'Toastmasters' group. The group helps its members practice their public speaking, interpersonal speaking, and presentation skills on a weekly basis.
- Be familiar with graphics and design computer programs. While computer-aided design is part of many landscape engineer or landscape architect curricula, job ads show that desktop publishing and presentation programs are also regularly used in this profession. Professionals should check into the different job ads online to find out the most popular or widely used computer programs. Professionals can then study these programs for better marketability.
- Join a professional group. Joining groups like the American Society of Landscape Architects is a good way to get information about the latest products and principles in the industry. The society is also an excellent place to get up-to-date information on licensing requirements, educational requirements, and best practices in the field.
Step 3: Obtain a License
According to the BLS, all states require licensing for landscape architects (www.bls.gov). Candidates must complete an accredited degree program and also have up to 4 years of work experience with another licensed landscape architect. Only then may they sit for the Landscape Architect Registration Exam (L.A.R.E.), which is supervised by the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards (CLARB). This exam is typically a 2-part exam, with multiple-choice questions and a graphic section. Those specifically interested in landscape engineering are encouraged to check her or his local and state licensing requirements.
Step 4: Consider a Graduate Degree
According to the BLS, aspiring landscape engineers and architects may need a master's degree to qualify for some jobs. Earning an advanced degree in this field can take 2-3 years, depending on whether a student as an undergraduate degree in landscape architecture or something else. Students can earn graduate degrees with a focus in multiple areas, for example, in land development along with construction management, or a combination of land development and architecture. When considering a graduate degree, students will often benefit from asking professors and advisors in the school for advice.
Success Tip:
- Consider a graduate certificate. Some schools offer post-bachelor's certificate programs or professional certificates. Students can hone in on their specific area of studies such as ecological design, sustainable urbanism, historic preservation, or environmental hazard management.

Caroline Lucas and the progressive alliance that never was
Green MP was up for it -- though she never got the call.
Green MP was up for it -- though she never got the call.
by James Macintyre Published
We also bumped into Caroline Lucas, the sole Green MP elected on 6 May.
Asked if she had wanted the "progressive alliance" that never was to succeed, she confirmed that she did, preferably on a case-by-case basis, but she would have offered full support if necessary.
Oddly, however, she says: "I never got the call." Gordon Brown is said now to regret going to Scotland in those crucial days of coalition negotiations. It appears there is more that could have been done to create the momentum for a reunification of the Labour and Liberal movements.
