Wintry Window Wrappings
Wherever you have tabbed draperies, a removable fabric valance will add as much holiday decor to your curtains as you like: Go all out with a seasonal motif, or just add festive colors and patterns.
What You Need:
a festive valance.
- Measuring tape
- Seasonal fabric; for size, see Step 1
- Sewing machine threaded with colors to match fabric
- Scissors
- Straight pins
- Pencil or wash-erase marker
- Iron and ironing board
1. Determine the sleeve size. Measure the width of your drapery panel. Then, determine a pleasing sleeve depth (usually 10-14 inches, or no more than one-sixth of the panel length). For seam allowances, add 1 inch to the width and 2 inches to the depth.
2. Cut panels. For each panel, cut two rectangular pieces using the dimensions determined above. Pin sleeve pieces with right sides together, measuring and marking openings for the panel tabs along one long (top) edge. If desired, take the drapery panel off the rod and lay it atop sleeve piece to mark tab openings.
through the tabs in your curtains.
3. Sew pieces together along one short side, across the long top edge, leaving openings at the tab markings, and down the remaining short edge. Press all seam allowances open.
4. Hem the sleeve. Press under 1-1/2 inches all around the remaining unsewn edge. Machine-sew 1 inch from the pressed fold. Turn sleeve right side out.
5. Hang. Slip sleeve over the curtain panel, pulling the tabs through the openings.
More Ideas:
- You can create a similar sleeve topper for curtains that hang by clip rings or ties.
- Use this versatile idea year-round -- whenever you want to freshen up your decorating scheme.

Please Sir, I Want S'more… Gluten-Free Graham Crackers
You can't make s'mores without sweet crunchy crumbly graham crackers to sandwich your melty marshmallow and chocolate between. And some of the best pies (I'm looking at you, cheesecake) require a graham cracker crust for authentic flavor. But it's not always easy to find a gluten-free version.

Death or Glory Customs was created by Jeff Couillard and Chad Chase. The idea for this company started by Chad needing someway to run more then one clipcord from his power supply so Jeff had built a small box adapter with two input jacks, that would plug into his single input power supply. From there it was such a simple idea that makes life just that much easier when tattooing.
These handmade Dual Input Adapter Boxes are available in two different stains. A dark oak and light oak stain. They all have brass painted hardware. The toggle switch features a center off position and two side on positions. Turn it to the left and you will have power to that clipcord, turn it to the right then you will have power to that clipcord. The boxes also feature two red LED lights above each input jack to show which input is powered.
Jeff also makes handmade Tattoo Foot Switches. All switches are one of a kind and made from antique odd and ends.
Any product from Death or Glory Customs has a lifetime warranty on them. If it breaks send it back and we will replace it or fix the problem.
Jeff is also taking custom orders for the Dual Input Adapter Boxes, Foot Switches, and Misc. Power Supplies. Tell him what type of hardware you want, stain, features, etc. Depending on how many orders are being built, Building time is about a week.

Q: You touched on how gaps in the market are thrown at us every day, but we rarely are set up to spot them. Are you able to expand on this a little? How do we train ourselves to see new business opportunities? – Ross
Doug replies:
What I love about entrepreneurs is they see problems as opportunities. Spotting the gaps in the world that need filling is pretty easy really.
Look for what's wrong and start thinking of ways to fix it. If you never have food in the house because you never have time to go shopping, chances are you'd pay a bit of a premium for a business that would just deliver groceries the way other businesses deliver pizza. If you're tired of having your family descend on your house every Christmas, so you get stuck doing all the cooking and cleaning, chances are you know what someone wants in a "Self-Catered Christmas Get Away" junket that you could tell your family to join you on instead.
Every problem is a business waiting to happen . . . Deciding which business you care enough to design and build well is always the tricky thing.

The classic way to solve a sliding puzzle is by using a state-based search. You represent the grid as a state, define the possible operations (e.g. slide left, slide right...) and then generate all of the successors of the state (by applying all of the operators in all possible ways) and then generate the successors of those and so on until you find a goal state. Then to find the solution you must backtrack up the tree. This could be done in GM, but would end up be pretty slow (especially for a 5x5) unless you heavily optimise (use A* and things like alpha-beta pruning for example).

The 4x4 has 653837184000*16 positions. That is more than the number of bits in your computer's memory. Writing an optimal solver for the 4x4 is attainable, though, but the 5x5 is too much, I think. You can still solve like a human would do. Or solve the first row and first column like a human and next solve the rest optimally.

I must admit, I showed up at work today feeling quite pleased with my above-the-waist fashion choices: blue oxford cloth button-down, paired with a sharp-looking tweed tie from Pierrepont Hicks. Then I caught a glimpse of the knit neckwear being sported by my colleague Jared Flint. In the constant game of backstory one-upsmanship, I'd clearly been bested. Because while my tie was painstakingly made in Long Island City, Queens, Jared's was hand-knit, from baby alpaca wool, in Chinatown—by his girlfriend. It's hard to compete with that. Though you don't have to be dating Monocle editor Aisha Speirs in order to get a tie from Pierrepont Hicks. (In fact, all you need is enough patience to wait till Monday at noon, when they go on sale on Gilt.)
Pingback: Tweets that mention Tie Game Over | Gilt MANual -- Topsy.com
not bad not bad. jared's gf has talent, we'll give it to her. this time.
def loving the handwoven tie… i would love to have one!
Put me on the list as well.

This is a hard movie to say I liked because it's such a hard film to watch. Much is made of the performance by Forest Whitaker as General Idi Amin (at the time I'm writing this, Whitaker has just been nominated for an Oscar – we'll find out soon if he wins or not). But, the film is much more than just Whitaker's brilliant performance. It's the story about a Scotsman who heads to Uganda after medical school because he doesn't seem to want to follow in his father's footsteps of a medical practice in Scotland. Once in Africa, he gets entangled with the newly appointed (self-appointed in a coup) Dictator Amin and becomes the General's personal physician. Once the Scotsman, Garrigan, finds out about Amin's brutality, it might be too late for him to escape. Powerful performances by Whitaker and James McAvoy as Garrigan make this film a must see for anyone who is interested in political dramas.

No, not FAT…this phat means "pretty, hot and thick." Thick, meaning large, which goes back to the original term of fat. Confused? Well, that aside, this film IS about a woman of size who is discouraged with her life…professional but mostly personal. As a woman of size myself, I found this film very positive in its depiction of the struggles a larger woman faces in the world. The main character here, Jazmin, is an aspiring plus-size fashion designer who designs her own clothes because she is fed up with the lack of colorful and vibrant options for women of size. Jazmin is a sexy, vivacious lady who, when she's down and out, we really sympathize for. The movie, though, doesn't seem to be milking the story for more pity…the trials Jazmin goes through all seem realistic for someone in her dilemma. I identified with her, as I'm sure much of the overweight female population will. Jazmin is Black, but she could be any color…her plight is the same. A fun, wild movie that actually has a decent, non-preachy message…something rarely done in Hollywood these days.

It is most sensible to start with the sales budget and develop the other budget from there. Analyse the validity of this statement.
Do you agree with the statement? Justify your answer.
How should sales revenues be considered when determining other costs?
1 Answer | Add Yours
I believe your statement is a very valid one. A common mistake in businesses of all types is to underestimate the sales budget. Underestimation can reek havoc on the enterprise because gaining new customers will be adversely affected. The sales department of any organization is paramount in order to bring in new business and service existing accounts. You can not short change the organization by low balling the sales budget. New businesses often fall short in this area by not allocating the necessary resources to the sales department. After the sales budget is established other expenses can be examined.

Administration officials are preparing the ground for some kind of rollback on universal access for birth control, after the US Conference of Catholic Bishops turned the issue into a major controversy. Yesterday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney hinted at changes to the regulations, which would mandate free contraceptive coverage in health insurance plans, including at religiously-affiliated institutions like Catholic hospitals and universities (though not churches). "We will continue to have discussions about ways that the implementation can be done that might address some of these [constitutional and religious] concerns," Carney said yesterday. Today, advisers continued to look for compromise:
A key White House adviser on faith issues said Tuesday that several organizations with ties to the administration have approached President Obama's aides about finding a resolution to fast-growing controversy over a new rule requiring many Catholic institutions to offer birth control and other contraception services as part of employees' health care coverage.
"There are conversations right now to arrange a meeting to talk with folks about how this policy can be nuanced," said Pastor Joel C. Hunter, a Florida megachurch pastor who has grown personally close to Obama and advised his White House on religious issues. "This is so fixable, and we just want to get into the conversation."
Hunter's comments followed a statement by David Axelrod, a senior adviser to Obama's reelection campaign, who indicated on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Tuesday that the White House might be open to a compromise on the matter.
"We certainly don't want to abridge anyone's religious freedoms, so we're going to look for a way to move forward that both provides women with the preventive care that they need and respects the prerogatives of religious institutions," he said.
We don't yet know what a compromise would look like. They could be some Rube Goldberg structure whereby women receive birth control coverage with the religious institution not involved in the process (a rider, in other words, that the employee gets directly from the insurer), or there could be a segregation of funds-type strategy. The worst-case scenario would be an exemption for all religious institutions.
The controversy is fairly ridiculous. Despite the vocal opposition to the rule from the Catholic bishops, many Catholic universities and hospitals already offer contraceptive coverage in their health insurance plans. Twenty-eight states require contraceptive coverage on plans that offer coverage of prescription drugs, and the Supreme Court has denied review of laws like this requiring contraceptive coverage. The conscience exemption in New York closely models what was put into the Administration's regulation.
What's more, a majority of Catholics support mandated contraception coverage of this type, though importantly, a narrow majority of voting Catholics oppose it for religiously affiliated hospitals and universities. And that's what's driving this, an attention to politics over women's health. So you have the White House bowing to the sort of people who compare birth control to 1930s Germany.
The compromise may defend universal access and it may not; we don't have that information yet. But I would imagine that women's health groups, after getting stung but continued restrictions on the morning-after pill, would not be pleased with another sop to anti-choice forces, particularly when impinging on the wildly popular idea of universal access to birth control. It would really represent a new front in this ongoing battle.

Created: 11/16/2012 2:13 PM KSTP.com By: Jennie Olson
Two Coon Rapids residents were charged after police were called to their apartment unit.
Police were called to 10331 Linnet Circle N.W. in Coon Rapids around 7:47 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9, to check on the welfare of 20-year-old Michelle Lynn Fonken, who is about nine months pregnant. Initial reports were that her boyfriend, 30-year-old Travis Arthur Lindahl, was high on meth and making threats about "death to predators."
Officers determined that Fonken didn't appear to be in danger and left.
Around 11:25 p.m., officers were again called to the unit on a report that Lindahl had become more irate and was threatening to kill anyone who came through the door. Police say Lindahl was screaming at the top of his lungs and saying the government wanted to kill his unborn child.
Other residents in the apartment building were evacuated and the SWAT team was called. They tried to make contact with Lindahl but he refused to answer the door, according to the criminal complaint. The SWAT team was able to get into the unit, and Fonken and Lindahl retreated to the bathroom.
When the SWAT officers tried to get Fonken and Lindahl out of the bathroom, Fonken allegedly tried to disarm an officer of his taser and repeated punched him in the face. The criminal complaint says she also bit another office on the hand.
Meanwhile, Lindahl swung his fist at an officer and grabbed the officer's taser with both hands and tried to pull it away, police say.
Lindahl and Fonken were both eventually taken into custody. Lindahl admitted that his behavior was fueled by meth, which he said he had been using all day.
Fonken has been charged with two counts of fourth degree assault. If convicted, she faces up to three years in prison and $6,000 in fines on the first charge and up to one year in prison and $3,000 in fines on the second charge.
Lindahl has been charged with attempting to disarm a police officer. If convicted, he faces up to 2 ½ years in prison and up to $5,000 in fines.

Cloud computing can help you control your data center
Virtualization creates considerable management challenges for data center operators. The technology shrinks a company's physical hardware infrastructure, but makes each server more important and the entire configuration much more complex. However, cloud computing, particularly private cloud systems, can help companies make the most of their data center.
Optimizing data center environments is becoming more important, as many companies are struggling to balance strategic innovation with the day-to-day maintenance concerns that exist within the data center.
A recent Data Center Knowledge report explained that many IT workers have dealt with business leaders who are clamoring for power use reduction and a network plug comes loose and takes hours to track down. When that settles, a regional power outage, or some similar uncontrollable event hits to create complications.
The news source said the data center industry is facing considerable challenges because businesses are pushing for efficiency at every level, but IT managers are not always equipped to do so. It is not the engineers' fault. Instead, the sector is changing so fast that nobody can be expected to keep up with all of the changes happening in infrastructure alone, let alone data center software and facility systems. This is making data center infrastructure management important.
However, a Forrester study found major gaps exist in the DCIM sector, making the technology inadequate as a holistic maintenance platform, the report said. Instead, companies have to use DCIM alongside other technologies and tools to get hardware, software and facility systems to work in conjunction with each other.
Turning to the private cloud, especially private cloud hosting services, can pay major dividends in this area. While automation created complexity, cloud computing instills order on the environment. The primary difference between a virtual environment and a cloud setup is that the cloud takes virtual machines and unites them into computing clusters through automation and orchestration solutions. Doing this enables the system to manage itself in many ways, simplifying operations.
However, establishing a private cloud internally can be difficult. Companies can overcome this gap by using a hosted private cloud service, which allows them to build their private cloud and have it hosted, and managed, in a third-party facility. This enables IT to gain more control over the rest of the data center while giving them much less to worry about with the cloud systems that are handled primarily by the vendor.

Cancer Research CenterThe Gen*NY*Sis Center for Excellence in Cancer Genomics, known as the Cancer Research Center, is committed to research that will discover the genetic origins of cancer and lead to finding a cure. The mission is to conduct research and provide training related to understanding the genetic and environ-mental causes of cancer. Researchers focus on the underlying biology associated with tumor initiation and growth and the develop-ment and evaluation of chemopreventive regimens and therapeutic approaches for common cancers. The Center also houses the Center for Functional Genomics, a core facility with comprehensive state-of-the-art research technologies in biochemistry, genomics and proteomics.
The Center is unique among academic cancer research centers in North America with its strong ties to a school of public health. Faculty work to provide a collaborative research environment within UAlbany's School of Public Health and its affiliated Wadsworth Research Laboratories, NYS Dept. of Health, to foster the training of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in cancer biology.
