Overtime law changes: On June 30, 2015, the Department of Labor announced a proposed rule that would more than double the salary threshold that makes white-collar managers eligible for overtime pay. The DOL's long-awaited rewrite of the FLSA's overtime rule for salaried administrative, executive and professional employees would raise the bar to $50,440 per year in 2016, up from the current $23,660.
The DOL arrived at the $50,440 threshold by calculating the 40th percentile of projected 2016 weekly earnings for all full-time, salaried workers. The new salary basis works out to $970 per week in 2016, compared to $455 per week currently.
The proposed rule doesn't change the duties test that defines what constitutes administrative, executive and professional work, but leaves open the possibility of doing so in the future.

DEVCON10: BlackPad tablet talk reaches fever pitch
Talk on the conference floor that RIM will launch its tablet device, the BlackBerry BlackPad, has reached fever pitch as the countdown to DEVCON 2010 moves into its final hour.
Although RIM is playing coy as to whether or not its CEO Michael Lazaridis will announce the new internet tablet device at the company's developer conference in San Francisco, that hasn't stopped plenty of talk and discussion amongst journalists covering the event, and developers attending it, talking up the possible announcement that will see BlackBerry go head to head with Apple and its iPad.
"You won't be disappointed", one developer told Pocket-lint hinting that the new BlackPad would feature a new OS and be launched at DEVCON10.
Although expected details are still thin on the ground, and nothing is of course confirmed by RIM, sources believe that the device will either sport a 9.7-inch screen (the same size as the iPad) or a 7-inch screen (the same as the Samsung Galaxy Tab).
On the connectivity front, it is expected to include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and run on a new operating system called QNX rather than the company's BlackBerry 6 OS.
It will not, claim sources we've heard from, have any mobile phone support such as 3G.
Pocket-lint is live at the DEVCON 2010 conference and will bring you all the news as to whether the company launches a tablet or not.
UPDATE: RIM has confirmed the launch of the BlackBerry PlayBook.

I have been working at Nordstrom full-time (More than a year)
The service oriented culture is what makes this company such a great place to work. Nordstrom truly is one of America's most admired companies. Co-workers are friendly and supportive.
Very competitive internally and focus on personal goals can get in the way of helping others achieve company objectives. Long hours can be burnout and there is not always a high focus on work-life balance.

The City of Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus (BBB) just rounded out its staff roster with two promotions from within its ranks and two new hires.
The four hires include: Tim McCormick to transit planning administrator; Linda Gamberg to transit community relations officer, Jennie Campos to transit community relations coordinator and Bridget Cade to administrative services officer.
"For the Big Blue Bus to improve service delivery and customer communication, we need team members experienced in planning and implementing complex initiatives. I am confident these professionals will provide leadership on key projects like the introduction of new fareboxes and Expo Light Rail coming to town," said Ed King, director, transit services, for the Big Blue Bus.
The session, sponsored by Q'Straint, will surely inspire participants as Aesch will bring to life stories from lessons learned during his many years as a transit management leader and innovator.
The changes are aimed at improving bus operations and reducing congestion in the terminal that can stretch back out into the inbound Lincoln Tunnel and beyond.
The 8.3-mile route, with a proposed 27 stops, would replace the Capital Area Transportation Authority's current Route 1 from downtown Lansing to the Meridian Mall. Results from the plan's environmental assessment study are expected to be shared at a public hearing this fall.
Left on purpose without upholstery option, each double seat weighs only 45 lbs. yet provides an optimum of comfort for riders through its ergonomically formed design. The slim contour of the seat's back offers a maximum of legroom for passengers and enhanced accessibility getting in and out of the seat.
The latest equipment purchase in a 33-year relationship, the $395 million order for clean diesel, cruiser-style coaches will offer NJ TRANSIT riders three-point seatbelts and comfortable forward-facing seating for 57 passengers.

Israel's Teva paradox: Israelis are cheering the victory their home team won in the M&A wars, but they don't realize the drug company has grown too big for the country that nurtured it.03:09 30.07.15 | 0 comments
While there's no evidence of a split, the Irish Minister for Justice (Alan Shatter) is taking a slightly different approach and has criticized the flotilla, saying that he doesn't see the need for it. Please note that Gilmore did also praise Israel's plans to let in construction materials into Gaza. This new government is taking a more balanced approach vis-a-vis Israeli concerns than the previous government.

"Their driving skills in tight spaces were impressive"
I cannot praise Appliances Online enough. I would not even think of buying from anywhere else any more, there is no competition. They have very competitive prices, ordering is ultra-easy and payment is safe, there are real people to speak to if there are any hiccups with ordering and the delivery people, well, I cannot speak highly enough of them. They kept me informed of the expected delivery time and when it changed because their schedule was faster than predicted, they phoned to let me know. The chaps were polite, courteous and their driving skills in tight spaces were impressive. Definitely a positive buying experience, thanks.
Elizabeth , Fountaindale, NSW
"Professional and polite"
I recently ordered on line a washing machine from your company. All is well with the machine. The two men who delivered the washing machine were extremely professional and polite. As they were the only people we spoke to directly, I would like to say thank you and we will be using your company for all our white goods purchases from now on. It is a nice change to receive good service.
Wim , Hope Island, QLD
"The most professional and prompt service offered"
Just a short note to convey to you our sincere thanks for the most professional and prompt service offered by Appliances on Line to our son, in Brisbane. This week, we bought on his behalf a dishwasher and, today - as a matter of urgency - a washing machine that was ordered, paid for, delivered and installed within the morning. The dishwasher was also delivered, on time by very courteous staff. Once again, sincere thanks - no wonder you are blitzing the opposition.
Denis , Brighton, QLD
"What I liked was paying via paypal"
I would highly suggest this website to any busy person or parent/carer who are unable to take children or other person to a department store. What I liked was paying via paypal and applianceonline installed, took away the old product and delivery was free. I would use applianceonline again.

Nature Got Us Into This Drought, But Bad Policy Will Make It Worse
February 08, 2014
Ben Boychuk
Drought is a fact of life in California, which explains why so many politicians have been happy to blame nature and duck questions about what role their choices may have played in exacerbating the catastrophe now unfolding across the state.
Weve had bad droughts before, but never quite like this.
For the first time in 54 years, the California Water Project forecasts zero allocation for agencies serving 25 million residents. That means scarcity and rationing are real prospects this summer. Barring a miracle, the effects economic and political would be felt well beyond our borders.
Lets stipulate government cant make it rain. While were at it, lets enter that phrase into the Great Book of Clichés and banish it from public discourse forevermore.
Lets also stipulate that government cannot make the trains run on time, or make you happy and wise although, with the right connections, it can make you wealthy.
Might we further stipulate that if government can clean up after a natural disaster, it can also make a natural disaster worse? Judging from much of the indignant demagoguery emanating from Sacramento and Washington, D.C., this week, the answer appears to be a resounding Yes.
Republicans in Congress on Wednesday advanced House Bill 3964, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Emergency Water Delivery Act, which passed largely along party lines. Only 10 House Democrats, including Fresnos Jim Costa, voted for it.
The brainchild of Californias GOP delegation, the bill will almost certainly meet its demise in the Democratic-controlled Senate, where both Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer have denounced the legislation as divisive. Feinstein even went so far as to call the bill ugly and partisan. A partisan piece of legislation debated in a political body. Imagine that.
What exactly would HB 3964 do? Simply stated, it would reallocate water controlled by the federal government from conservation and species protection to agriculture. In other words, it would put the needs of farmers above the needs of the Delta smelt.
Now, the idea that public policy might favor people over a baitfish in the face of an honest-to-goodness emergency may strike some as an odd notion. Coincidentally, Gov. Jerry Brown also used the d-word in a sternly worded letter to Congress ahead of this weeks vote. Among his complaints: HB 3964 would override state laws and protections, and mandate that certain water interests come out ahead of others. It falsely suggests the promise of water relief when that is simply not possible given the scarcity of water supplies.
In general, and even on principle, Brown is correct. The incompetent federal government has no business interfering with state water policies, or anything else for that matter, when incompetent state officials are doing a perfectly terrible job of it themselves.
In practice, however, the feds are neck deep in California water policy and just about everything else. So nobody should be especially offended when Congress butts in where it isnt welcome.
But Brown is also right that Californias water problem is one of supply as well as demand. With every drought emergency comes the usual calls for better recycling and conservation, which is all to the good. In Southern California, conservation has been the norm for years. For those of us who grew up here in the 1970s, If its brown, flush it down isnt just an unkind slogan made at the current incumbent governors expense; its a lifestyle.
Recycling is fine. Conservation is great. But what we really need is infrastructure.
The Legislature is debating again whether to place an $11 billion water bond on the November ballot. Brown foresees building an elaborate system of tunnels to restore the Delta, providing habitat for the smelt and water for the farmers. Maybe it will work.
But do Californians realize that the state constructed its last major reservoir Castaic Lake, just north of Los Angeles in 1973? Do they realize that the last major federal reservoir in the state was completed in 1979?
Were bickering about tunnels and peripheral canals while badgering people to install low-flow shower heads.
Saudi Arabia and Singapore supply their people with plenty of water through desalinization, which isnt cheap but it works. Environmentalists are fighting two Southern California desalinization plants with everything theyve got.
Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Elk Grove, chairman of the House subcommittee on water and power, offered the clearest assessment of the mess were in. Californias drought is natures fault, he said, but our failure to prepare for it is our fault. No bond measure or act of Congress can save California from this years drought. But the policies we make today can ease the ravages of the next big one.

Ive seen enough posts on here to drive a man crazy, with people wanting to know about the "critters" in AZ. Having spent many hours of my life (wont get into detail) perusing the Sonoran Desert floor, I am quite familiar with the venomous critters of AZ. I also keep and study scorpions/snakes/tarantulas/true spiders/mantids/etc, so Im well versed in the invertebrate world so to speak. At one point I had over 50 scorpions, 15 giant centipedes, 12 tarantulas, a few mantids, and two snakes as pets.
I have compiled this beginner list of critters from AZ that most people are curious about. I cant begin to scratch the surface of course, but this guide should be a good basic intro to what are often misunderstood creatures. These are my pictures (Im a amateur nature photographer) that I will share with you, so you can get a visual on these creatures.
Lets start with true spiders. True spiders can move their fangs (chelicerae) up and down, and in a pinching motion, whereas tarantulas cannot. This is how they get their "true spider" designation. By design, they are far more advanced than tarantulas. Their lungs can handle long sprints and their mouthparts are more advanced.
Black widows are the most notorious of true spiders. Latrodectus hesperus (western black widow) is very common in AZ and several other western states. Its venom is neurotoxic, meaning it attacks your respiratory and central nervous system, effectively shutting down the muscles that control your breathing. Most deaths from black widow bites are the result of respiratory paralysis. These are not to be taken lightly, any bite should be treated as serious and should be taken to the hospital immediately. Most bites just result in horrible flu-like symptoms, with massive abdominal cramping. Their webs are really messy and jagged and easily spotted.
FACT: male black widows are tiny compared to the females and their bite is harmless. Its the females that have the potentially lethal bites.
Here is a Latrodectus mactans (southern black widow) I collected in Missouri. The tell-tale hourglass pattern is completely visible in this image.
The other true spider that is also world renowned is the brown recluse. These DO NOT RANGE INTO AZ! These are very reclusive (hence the name) and are not aggressive whatsoever. Bites occur when people forget to check their clothes or roll over on one while sleeping. Their venom is cytotoxic (attacks cells) and hemolytic (attacks the blood stream). Its venom causes nasty lesions, that if left untreated, can result in a necessary amputation of the bitten extremity.
FACT: A violin/fiddle shaped marking is on the cepalothorax (head), hence its nickname the "fiddler" or "violin" spider. Here is a Kansas specimen I photographed last summer. Can you see the fiddle?
A perfect specimen from Missouri:
Tarantulas: The ultimate horror for any arachnophobe, and for good reason! Theyre large, hairy, slow moving... making a good subject for a horror flick. A deep seeded fear of the tarantula is imbedded in our minds from childhood (no thanks to Hollywood), but sadly for unfair reasons. Tarantulas, for the most part, are very docile critters. No, they wont chase you. No, they cant jump on you. No, theyre not out to get you. There are MANY species in AZ, but only from one genus (Aphonopelma). These are dark colored with earthy tones. The legs are velvety black, the carapace (head) is usually gold/bronze/tan and the abdomen covered in rich rust colored setae (hairs). Aphonopelma are notorious for being very docile, taking to handling quite well. However, DO NOT TRY TO HANDLE THEM. Just playing it safe and covering my butt... LOL Seriously, leave handling tarantulas to the pros, we know what were doing.
Full size Aphonopelma species average about 4-6" leg span. Males are the ones youll see on the roads, theyre just out in search of a mate. Once they reach their penultimate molt, they grow tibial spurs, which they store sperm in. Once this is done, they spend their last months roaming the desert for a female to mate with. Most times the spiders die out from exhaustion or old age before they mate. And alot of times the female percieves the male as a intruder and kills him. The mating dance is very unique to watch, but Ill get into that some other time.
Here is an Aphonopelma hentzi from Missouri. These look identical to the species from AZ.
DONT ATTEMPT TO HANDLE TARANTULAS! I consider myself a professional and I know how to work with them. Here is a juvie Aphonopelma tarantula I picked up in Missouri right out of its burrow. Hardly a monster, eh?
All the pictures I have are from my Photobucket page, so I dont have access to all my pictures. I can post more later if you want more. You can also visit
(American Tarantula Society) for loads more info and pictures, or simply Google "Aphonopelma tarantulas in Arizona".
Most tarantulas are downright gorgeous, with flat-out amazing colors. Here is my Avicularia versicolor, which didnt mind me being 1" from its face. Beautiful and as docile as a baby bird.
FACT: Noone has ever died from a tarantula bite, their venom is considered too weak. They can deliver bad bites if aggrevated, so use caution around them.
FACT: The largest tarantula is found in South America. Commonly known as the Goliath Birdeater (hardly eats birds, LOL), it can achieve a whopping 12" leg span, about the size of a dinner plate.
FACT: tarantulas have hollow bodies (spare the abdomen). They pump their hemolymph (blood) through their bodies to move them, kinda like hydraulics. Here is a macro shot of the inside of a molt, showing the chambers of the legs and fangs:
http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j292/Illinoisboy/macroofversicolorcarapaceexuvium.jpg (broken link)
Here is a macro shot of one of the molts, showing in detail the thousands of tiny hairs that help them grip surfaces, enabling them to climb vertically and hang from ceilings. Amazing, isnt it? This is a molt from a tree spider from South America (Avicularia avicularia).
THIS IS JUST SOME BASIC INFO. Its now taken me over an hour to write this, I hope you find this interesting and helpful. Im NOT here to discourage you from moving to AZ (like some people think
), or else I wouldnt have taken the time to compile this and help explain these creatures. Any questions you have, let me know, Ill keep updating info and add more pics as time goes by.
Please make sure to leave them alone, theyre really neat creatures, harmless ones at that. Please resist the urge to kill them, most of them are simply males on the prowl for females. At this point theyre about 5-10 years old, and have battled through life just to find a mate, we dont need to kill them out of fear. Also, females can live 20-30 years!!!!
Scorpions: There are dozens upon dozens of scorpion species in AZ, but only one is considered potentially lethal. That is the Centruroides exilicauda, commonly known as the AZ bark scorpion. These are a small species (1-3") that are tan in color (xeric morph adaptation), and are arboreal (climbers). These possess a powerful neurotoxic venom that can kill an adult. Although noone has died in AZ since ASU started their anti-venin program, they still have to administer AV to a dozen or more patients a year. Children and elderly (or anyone with a weakened immune system) are the most at risk from death from a sting. Check clothes, bed sheets, bath towels, shoes, etc before wearing them, theyre a favorite temporary hiding place for a wandering scorpion. A healthy adult will experience severe pain, lasting from minutes, to days, depending on the individual. Anyone experiencing palor, drooling, roving and uncontrolled eye and tongue movements, uncontrolled muscular spasms should be rushed to the nearest ER. This is a sign of a potentially lethal envenomation.
A rule of thumb for determining a scorpion's venom toxicity level is to look at the size of the claws (chelae) and tail (metasoma). Now keep in mind, this rule doesnt pertain to every scorpion, but its a general guide to the novice. The smaller the claw, the more potent the venom. This is because scorpions have 2 tools in subduing prey: grabbing and holding it with their claws and then envenomating them with their stinger (aculeus). Scorpions with weak, small claws rely more on their fast acting venom to subdue prey. Scorpions with big claws (ie emperor scorpions--Pandinus imperator) usually have weaker venom and prefer to simply crush their prey instead.
Here is a HIGHLY toxic species from Morocco (kills 1,000s every year), the Androctonus mauritanicus. Note the slender claws and massively powerful and overdeveloped tail (metasoma).
The AZ bark scorpion is one exception. The claws are weak, the tails are slender. Here is a picture of one I caught in Scottsdale.

Snakes: The most dangerous snake in AZ are the species of rattlesnake that call the area home. These are Crotalids (belonging to the Crotalus genus). The most common is the western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox). These can grow to be 6' long, and have bad bites. If you hear a rattle, stop and look around before you take another step. Once the snake is spotted, take 2 quick steps in the opposite direction. Snakes DONT chase people, contrary to popular belief. At least theyre kind enough to let you know theyre around! LOL Most animals dont give that luxury, be glad rattlers to. However, dont hike alone, and dont put your hands/feet in places you cant see them. Beware of overhangs and shady places. Snakes are ectothermic and hide in the shade to regulate their body temps. Bite victims NEED to be taken to the hospital immediately. If youre lucky, a dry bite was given (no venom injected)! Remember, only 1/10th of 1% of snake bites are lethal! Dont start writing your will if you get bit, theres a SUPER HIGH % rate that youll be AOK. Just take precautions!
Western diamondbacks (Crotalus atrox) have a telltale "coontail", with black and white stripes near the rattle. In the US (spare coral snakes), venomous snakes are identified by their eliptical pupils. Notice the snake below and its eliptical pupils? Thats the sure sign of a venomous snake in the states!
Here is a baby copperhead in Missouri (Agkistrodon contortrix), note again the eliptical pupils:
Here is a non-venomous snake, note the round pupils. This is my desert kingsnake (who eat rattlesnakes) eating a pinky mouse.
Other creepy-crawlies: AZ also is home to vinegaroons, a nasty looking bug that has a long stinger looking tihng (no pictures, sorry!) on the back. Theyre not venomous, but spray a vinegar-like substance at would be attackers. You can Google them if you want more info.
This is a amblypigid, commonly known as a tailless whipscorpion. These look nasty, but are not venomous. Just leave them be, and admire their strangeness. LOL

Well, I went to post my info, but I was WAAAAY over my character limit (7K over LOL). Soooo, Ive had to shrink my post BIG TIME and have lost too much data to start over.
Here is a video of my African species, showing just how sensitive they are to movement, not relying whatsoever on their super poor eyesight. Click on picture to play.

How to tail a scorpion to remove it from your house. Grasp gently! Place into a glass container, they cant climb glass. Release them outside, away from the house.
I feel this post has lost its quality. I will post some more later on, I lost so much info that I just dont have the time to reenter it all. If you have any questions, let me know. Ill definitely work on this more tomorrow. LOL Oh well, I tried. Goodnight.

Nice info, Steve-o. A couple of quick questions I've wondered about. Do snakes hibernate in AZ? At what temp do they become active? Are they "grumpier" when they're cold? What time of year do they shed their skin - I've always heard they're more dangerous then, true? I've also read something about a "green" rattlesnake that likes to "hang out" in paloverde trees and it's supposed to be more aggresive than other species - fact or fiction?
Which do you consider to be worse - the bite of a black widow or to be stung by a scorpion?
Last one - I've never run across a tick while hiking in AZ (used to have to be very careful in Colorado). Do we have ticks here in AZ?
Thanks for all the useful info!

Gretchen, yes, snakes and scorpions hibernate in the colder months in AZ, although a warm spell can get them active again. Scorpions are usually less active when the temps dip below 80 degrees, but theyre still there and thats when they seek shelter in warmer places or simply shut down for a few months. They have extremely low metabolic rates, enabling them to go with out food for up to a year. As for snakes, no, theyre not grumpier when theyre cold, in fact, if you were to run across a snake in the wild, youll be glad to meet a cold snake. LOL Theyre ectothermic, meaning that the outside temperature effects their internal body temperature. When its cold out, so are they, at that means that theyre very sluggish, but can still deliver a bite if they feel theyre being threatened. Same goes for scorpions and tarantulas. When theyre cold, theyre sluggish, almost to the point of being dead. In fact, alot of hobbyists will put their tarantulas in the refidgerator for a few minutes, in order to manipulate them w/o the risk of getting bit (a good thing for really defensive tarantula species). As for shedding their skin (ecdysis), snakes do it only when they need to grow, this is mainly during the summer months when food is abundant and they have eaten well. And no, when going through ecdysis, theyre not grumpier at all, it doesnt affect their mood.
Here is a basic info site that you might want to take a look at:
http://www.opa.medicine.arizona.edu//health/snakes.htm (broken link)
As for the green rattlesnake, the only one I can think of is a Crotalus scutulatus scutulatus (commonly known as the Mojave green rattlesnake). These are probably the most dangerous of rattlesnakes as far as venom goes, IMO. They dont hang out in trees, but have been spotted in them. Theyre a terrestrial snake (ground dwelling), but sometimes will climb short distances into a tree for a meal.
As for ticks? Im sure AZ has them, pretty much every state does, theyre impossible to avoid Id imagine. I think the Rocky Mountain tick ranges into AZ, which is probably the same species you had problems with in CO. Im not sure if the deer tick (which can carry Lyme Disease) is present in AZ or not. Sorry, Im not much of a tick expert, LOL. Im sure a quick Google search would reveal what ticks AZ has.

Thanks for all the info Steve. Much appreciated. How rare/often is it to find a spider or scorpion in everyday life in Tempe or a well developed suburb?

Scott, its quite common to have scorpions in a well-developed suburb. Theyre very well-adapted critters and can survive about any condition thrown at them. My FIL had just as many scorpions in his central Scottsdale home (off of Shea) as he does in his new home in North Scottsdale (up near Dynamite Rd). Theyre particularly common in garages, attics, crawlspaces, etc. They are also seen in every other room of the house as well. Ive seen them in bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, bedrooms...

Fantastic information. If I run into a tarantula I don't think I will be quite as afraid, they really are beautiful spiders. I may make a considerable amount of noise, but I will not hurt them. I would love to show this post to my neighbor who has a few in his yard every summer. He may stop screaming so loud.

Ok, thanks. Is it (scorpion/spider/snakes/other critters) a frequent enough problem that people who arent exactly thrilled with these kind of animals should stay away from the metro area because of it. Or is it fairly few and far between? Just asking because I may be going to ASU for school but do not want to find myself having to deal with these things every week

Those are great photos and good info, but NO! Please do not NOT move here b/c of the spiders, etc. Steve-o often says on this board that it's a big problem, they're everywhere, etc. He almost makes it sounds like we live in a third world country here in Phoenix, over-run by scorpians.
People who have monthly spraying - every month - and keep their houses clean and free of crumbs and food sitting out (which, Steve so politely - sic- pointed out to me once that scorpians don't eat) which will attract rodents, roaches, ants, etc., which scoprians, etc may feed off - you likely will be fine. Just don't go digging in the dirt under a wood pile, or crawling around underneath houses and be cautious when hiking. And if you happen to see one, handle it accordingly and have your house sprayed again.
I've been here over 3 years and have NEVER seen a scorpian or venomous spider or snake in a house. Nor have any of my neighbors or friends. We live in new houses, in new suburbs so I can't speak to older homes in Phoenix. Though we do have a few friends in older homes in Phoenix who've NEVER had problems, most of our friends live in the 'burbs and none have had any problem whatsoever.
I know there are some people who have problems, and YES, we do have these things here. But it's so NOT a reason not to move here.

Any idea what this is called and how to do it?
Hello everyone,
I hope someone here knows what this is (will put two photo's up (sorry that they might be a little big).
Basically I am looking for the name of the technice to make this collar (its from my old favorite shirt and it's store bought). Looking at it, it consists of two strands of t-shirt fabric placed next to eachother. The strands are rolled.
They aren't made as a rolled hem (where the hem is sewn shut completely), but instead when you pull the fabric it can be rolled out. When it's rolled out the sides arent locked or stitched. If you let the fabric go, it will roll back in again.
Around the collar are three parts where the strands are sewn in (two on the sides, near where the clavical bone would be and one in bottom).
I would really appreciate a name of the technique used or (if possible) any information on how to make it myself.
Thanks for reading!!

I found out how to do this, thanks to some helpful members of another sewing forum. I'll share in short what the solution should be:
two strands of tricot sewed next to eachother (one slightly longer than the other). How to get them to curl: pull the fabric really hard and it will curl up. Simple as that.

Football hooliganism figures
Figures detailing offences committed by hooligans involved in football-related crime during the 2011/12 season are released.
Figures detailing offences committed by hooligans involved in football-related crime during the 2011/12 season are released.
Football banning orders are a preventative measure designed to stop potential troublemakers from travelling to football matches - both at home and abroad.
The Home Office says that of the millions of fans who annually attend football games, only a very small minority actually cause problems.
It says that those that do cause problems are a threat to public safety and to the UK's reputation overseas, so it says it is committed to stopping this behaviour.
Banning orders are issued by the courts following a conviction of a football-related offence, or after a complaint by the Crown Prosecution Service or a local police force.
For more information visit the Home Office website.
The British Library, the biggest public building to be built in the 20th century, has been awarded Grade I status.
Research has found that moving a few miles out of London could save you a fortune in property prices.
The Foreign Office have said they have contacted the Ethiopian authorities numerous times about the case to no avail.

Gary Deegan signs new Southend United contract
Post comment
Midfielder Gary Deegan has signed a new one-year deal at Southend.
All Articles
The 40-year-old, currently in his second spell in charge at London Road, was reportedly approached by a representative of the Al-Hasawi family, who are on the brink of a takeover at the City Ground, with a view to becoming Forest's new manager.
But Ferguson has defiantly insisted his future is with the Posh, who he led to npower Championship safety last season.
"We are back for pre-season training on Monday and I and the rest of my staff are looking forward to the new season," Ferguson told his club's official website.
"Myself and the chairman have an excellent relationship and we are working hard together to bring in the players we have identified to strengthen our squad.
"I am very happy at the football club," Ferguson said.
Forest, who still have boss Steve Cotterill at their helm, could be reported to the Football League over their alleged move on Ferguson, though Peterborough are refusing to comment on their position.
"Peterborough United will not comment on media speculation that they have reported Nottingham Forest to the Football League," a club statement read.

Most people have some sort of a hobby.
Some people travel or collect action figures. Others work on model trains or learn how to do tricks with their yo-yo. They're normally activities a person can do at the end of the day, or take a nice vacation for, that don't really take over their life. But that's just most people.
Dave Gevers is not most people, in that regard. The Senior Technical Analyst at Closure Systems International has spent nearly three decades off and on designing his own airplane. Not a model airplane, mind you, but a fully-functional, innovational airplane he believes will revolutionize the modern aircraft.
This hobby of Gevers' (pronounced Geevers) has been a long road, but with a manufacturer finally on board, the Genesis may finally soon take flight.
In the Beginning
Gevers first discovered his love for aviation in college. It was on a whim that he responded to an advertisement for an activity that would quickly take over his life.
"When I was at Purdue in the late '60s, I saw a call-out for the Purdue Pilot's Club. They were giving rides for $5," Gevers said. "So I went and got my airplane ride and decided this is something I need to do."
From there, he took lessons and got his private license through the club.
He was drafted into the Army out of graduate school and took advantage of the military's resources to get his glider pilots license.
"I had the G.I. Bill when I got out (of the Army) so I went back to Purdue and got my commercial license," he said, which allowed him to become a flight instructor.
Over the last 40 years that Gevers has been soaring through the skies, he said he's piloted around 50 different types of planes, although one remains his favorite.
"I've owned a Cessna 140 since 1978 and I still have it. I still fly it quite often."
At the Crawfordsville Municipal Airport, Gevers has spent the last three years as the director of maintenance, inspecting aircraft and supervising maintenance. He said it's a part-time job, but admits it's where he spends most of his free time.
His main goal in aviation, however, was to become an aircraft manufacturer.
"Airplane designs are really not very innovative anymore," Gevers said. "Airplanes all look about the same, from an engineering standpoint. So I saw some shortcomings with current designs, and just for fun I decided to try and solve those."
He is calling his solution the Genesis, which represents a "rebirth of some old ideas."
The Genesis
There were three main shortcomings in modern airplanes that Gevers set out to solve. The first problem deals with the loss of an engine on twin-engine crafts. In a typical plane, when one engine fails, the pilot has no choice but to put the plane down as soon as possible.
"This design solves that. Both engines are in the fuselage, so if one engine fails both propellers are still able to drive the plane forward," Gevers explained, stating that it is safer than a typical twin-engine airplane.
The second issue Gevers wanted to focus on was the landing gear. His Genesis has multiple types of landing gear, allowing it to land on a variety of surfaces, including water and snow.
"I've made the landing gear doors stronger, so then they essentially become skis," he said.
But amphibious takeoffs presented a new challenge. The propellers of the Genesis, normally low and right behind the wings for optimal flight efficiency, would strike the water. So Gevers designed a way for his propellers to swing up through a system of hydraulics to clear the water, then lower back down mid-flight to reduce drag.
"I designed it for universal use," he said.
Then the final innovation, and perhaps the most noticeable, is the inclusion of telescopic wings, the first of its kind that can double in length at the flip of a switch.
"If you need something to get into the outback, or ponds and lakes, then you need a plane with longer wings. Same with surveillance or loitering," he said. "But if you want to go fast, then you'll need a shorter wing. This is a way to do both."
Gevers said the reaction in the aviation community has been a mixed one, but not entirely unexpected considering the complex design of the aircraft.
"People who like to fly airplanes and want to experience the airplane love it," he said, citing the versatility of its uses. "But manufacturers that have to figure out how to build it, don't love it, or they're afraid to say they do."
To attract manufacturers, Gevers started his own company, Gevers Aircraft Inc., with a website devoted to the Genesis' design specs and goal at geversaircraft.com. He's even built his own wind tunnel with his brother, Matthew, in which they have proven his design will fly.
And now, almost 30 years after the idea first popped into his head, and after getting a nearly inch-think patent approved in 1997, Gevers finally signed a contract with the Halberd Corporation last month to produce a full-scale flying prototype.
The Dream
"I used to think that I'd like to manufacture airplanes. Now I'd be happy if it actually was a good enough idea I saw somebody pick it up and use it," Gevers said.
The Halberd Corporation, based in Las Vegas, seems to think it is a good idea. Known for the production of both short and long-range unmanned aircraft, Halberd sees the potential of Gevers' aircraft being able to land on multiple surfaces and its ability to fly quickly or loiter above an area.
"As a former Navy Seal, I see numerous advantages for this unique configuration as it affords operation on snow, water and land," Halberd President Reuben Lowing said in a press release. "The U.S. military, especially the Navy Seals will find these abilities superior to our competition."
Halberd is currently working on three sizes of the Genesis — all amphibious.
Gevers hopes that by this time next year he'll be able to fly the Genesis out of the Crawfordsville airport, an experience he believes will remain unmatched in all his years of aviation.
"That would be the crown of an engineering career — to see your innovative idea that didn't catch on right away actually help mankind and have a place in history."
