+ a little bit of some type of sugar (sucrose, xylitol, etc.). The combo looks like powdered sugar, but tastes amazing. Only unfiltered extra virgin olive oil and some added sugar will make it special (in my opinion). I'm sure I'll get comments on this... Love it dusted on pasta.
Forgot to mention... I pass my mixture through a fine sieve to filter out the lumps.
Varying the source of the unfiltered extra virgin olive oil will give an amazing variety of finished product. Different types of sugar to sweeten it will be another way to experiment.
Can you tell I like the stuff?

CREATED Mar 19, 2012
Reporter: Kevin Keen
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Tucson police and the county medical examiner's office are trying to determine why a man died this weekend shortly after being tased by officers. He died early Sunday morning while in custody. TPD reported. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday afternoon. The department, meanwhile, is performing a review of its own--an internal evaluation of how officers handled the situation and if their actions "contributed" to the man's death. The procedure is standard protocol, but could lead to changes at the department.
TPD says 46-year-old Michael Carbone was "augmentative," "confrontational" and physical when officers responded to a report of domestic violence late Saturday. The department said he ran to a Circle K on North Alvernon, where an officer tased him twice. In police custody, Carbone died shortly thereafter.
"Any time we have an in-custody death, of course, it's a very serious incident," assistant chief Brett Klein told KGUN9 News. "A person has died."
Klein says it's standard procedure to perform an internal review. "That board of inquiry is comprised of three commanders, who will look at this incident from beginning to end and they'll make a determination on whether or not we followed our general orders, our procedures, our training and all of those things to make sure that we did our job the way we're supposed to," he said.
The department says such a review could lead to changes in training, equipment and policies.
Right now, it considers a Taser an "intermediate weapon" like a baton.
KGUN9 asked what could change as a result of this review. "It's too early to make any determinations on whether or not anything would change because of this particular incident," Klein answered.
"Is it possible that any of the people involved could, for the lack of a better way to put it, 'get in trouble' as a result of the investigation of what happened?" reporter Kevin Keen asked Klein. "I don't want to cast that light right now," he replied. "That's why we have a process. We don't want to try and make any pre-determinations. That's why we go through the board of inquiry process--is to look at all of the actions and review all of the material that's been gathered."
Klein says it's rare that a person dies in custody. He adds officers draw a Taser roughly 150 times a year and, in those cases, actually use them about 100 times.

The Kappa frat brother turned collegiate drug kingpin who used to smoke you out in-between posting Omar Little image macros on his wall and practicing Ultimate on the quad must be losing his goddamn mind (like, almost as much as he did when Blink 182 announced the reunion tour): earlier today the Internet exploded with reports that HBO was rebroadcasting all five seasons of The Wire. Every white dude in the world immediately hit up their Moms and Pops for the HBO Go password. But, as it turns out, it was all just wishful thinking and misleading promo videos: according to HBO, the episodes "aren't ready yet" and the release date has been pushed back indefinitely. Sigh. It's all in the game, yo.
While HBO Signature (one of the seven satellite channels you get when you pay for HBO — not the one in Spanish or the one that only plays Vince Vaughn movies and soft-core porn) won't be rebroadcasting the greatest show ever (according to EW and the Internet and everyone with eyes) as previously reported, you can still join us in a GIFlebration of TV's finest gay stick-up man, Omar Little. Below we're sharing some of our favorite Omar-themed Internet moving pictures and some everyday situations that merit their use. Publicly mourn this cruel prank by posting your favorite Wire GIF in the comments.
When your coworker realizes too late that the elaborate story you made up about TPS reports and needing her signature was all constructed just so she'd bring you the stapler you were too lazy to get up and grab yourself:
When your hookup doesn't answer your late-night "hey, bae" text that was clearly a sexual proposition so you smooch the nearest warm body:
Your friend is in the bar bathroom and you refuse to walk to the end of the line:
When your ex gets upset that you spent the cash they left in your apartment, Blu Cantrell-style:
When the Dominoes website asks if you want to add an order of cheesy bread:
The only appropriate response to your friend's wedding invitation that mandates black-tie formal wear for an outdoor wedding in August:
When some white dude at a party tries to initiate a conversation about Beyoncé and feminism with you:
When you use your friend's email address to get three more free rides from Lyft:

12 Quality DIY Tools for Kids
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, drafts can waste 5% to 30% of your energy use. Start simple and adopt that old Great Depression fixture -- the draft snake, which you can easily make yourself. Just place a rolled bath towel under a drafty door, or make a more attractive DIY draft snake with googly eyes, felt tongues and the like. You can use any scraps of fabric -- even neckties -- and fill with sand or kitty litter for heft.
Make sure drafts aren't giving your thermostat a false reading too, and read on for more advanced solutions.
Yes it's easy to forget, but it's important to replace or clean furnace filters once a month during the heating season. Dirty filters restrict airflow and increase energy demand. Here's a worry-saving tip: mark a monthly check on your calendar.
Better, consider switching to a permanent filter, which will reduce waste and hassle. Did you know that disposable fiberglass filters trap a measly 10 to 40% of debris? Electostatic filters trap around 88%, and are much better at controlling the bacteria, mold, viruses and pollen that cause illness and irritation. They cost $50 to $1,000 or more. Another good choice is a genuine HEPA filter (like the one pictured), which can remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles. HEPA filters are based on Department of Energy standards. But avoid "HEPA-like" filters, which can be vastly less effective.
If your entire furnace is in need of replacement, it will cost a lot more -- but replacing an inefficient burner for a modern machine will save you every month through the heating season. Be sure to take advantage of federal tax credits for new furnaces, which can cover 30% of the cost, up to $1,500. (Note: 2011 tax credits are less generous.)

Problems in Relationship
May 13, 2014 Ask Dr. Love Advice Column
Hi Love Doctor, mine would be quite a long story and really thank you for the patience and time you took to read everything. :) here it goes... I got to know my girlfriend in school, we were very loving when we first got together, after being together for around 2months, her mum starts to disapprove our relationship as her mum thinks that my feelings for her daughter aren't real and that I do not love her. What made my girlfriend's mum to have the thought could be this: "One day, I was texting my girlfriend and I asked her if I can go back to my previous part-time job during the holidays, her reply was 'no', at that time, I asked her for the reason for not letting me to go back to my previous part-time job but she did not want to tell me anything, I was finding her unreasonable, so I got kinda-of angry and somehow showed her attitude and had a quarrel with her and she switched off her phone, and my friend told me about her being very upset at the moment so I tried calling her and sending her SMS apologizing to her for being rude earlier on. After she switched back on her mobile, I asked her what happened just now that made her so upset. She said that it was nothing much, it's the past already, don't bring it up. So naturally, I thought that she is ok and we carry on our relationship perfectly." (That was the first time she cried real hard.) Now that she suddenly want to break up with me, claiming that if I really love her, I wouldn't have cause her to cry and hurt her. So I told her that, "it's impossible to have a perfect relationship in this world, but now that I know the reason behind it, I never had let cried anymore after that incident, at that time, I did concern about you and tried asking you what's happening but you didn't want to tell me, if you did tell me the reason, I wouldn't have quarrel with you." My girlfriend is someone who likes to keep her feelings to herself and not really willing to share with me despite me showing concern towards her. Right now, she is still very angry at me for hurting her. She said that I aren't the right guy for her because I made her cry and hurt her. Inside me, I am just wondering if she still have feelings for me and what she said is just in a moment of anger. Would like to add on, She is still very unhappy with me, she isn't replying my texts either. Now that she want to leave me but she is still angry at me, does that shows that she still have feelings for me? Hope to hear from you soon as I haven't been eating well and sleep well for the past weeks already. Will appreciate it a lot.

Need Advice
Boy, relationships can be heaven on earth or hell on wheels! I hear you want to get your ex back despite the fact that this girl is putting you through hell and back. I mean, this girl is really high maintenance. I do commend your efforts to repair your relationship and reconcile with her!
Let's do a rough sketch of the anatomy of the downward spiral leading to your break up. Rather than simply taking a job over the holidays, you called to ask her how she felt about the idea. This was a very "relational" act on your part, meaning you took her feelings into account before making a decision that would affect her and your relationship. Bravo!
Instead of responding to your question in a mature way, she simply told you, "no." You asked her to talk with you about why she objected, but she refused to disclose her feelings, and she stonewalled you, which was not relational on her part.
I understand her shutting the door on any discussion emotionally triggered you. Her rigid position and refusal to talk with you made you understandably angry; then you acted on your anger by giving her "attitude," and an argument erupted.
From that point on you were demonized by her and her mother for having committed various atrocities including hurting her and making her cry.
What's wrong with this picture? A lot!
First of all, I'm going to talk about her role in this fiasco. For starters, as you said, your ex doesn't talk about her feelings. The reality is a relationship can only work if both commit to describing their thoughts and feelings and why they have them.
Instead, she acted her feelings out by just slamming the door on you and saying no.
Next she fell into the "innocent victim" routine. She's also carrying a grudge by holding on to this poor me act by saying that you hurt her, wronged her, and even made her cry, and all of which prove to her that you aren't the right boyfriend for her. By playing the victim she is unconsciously arranging to not look at her role in the dispute and take responsibility for what she did to provoke you. I promise you, if she kicks you to the curb, she's going to repeat this pattern over and over again. The bottom line is no relationship is possible unless both partners are willing to look at their own role in creating and maintaining fights.
Your ex sounds like a "professional" victim. I don't hold out much hope that she will be able to maintain a relationship with you or anyone else until and unless she faces this pattern and resolves it. By the way, I think her mother may be encouraging her to play the innocent victim role.
Let me also say a few words regarding her needing to end it because you hurt her…Give me a break! No matter how hard we try not to hurt each other, we do end up saying and doing things that don't land right with others. The goal isn't to be perfect—that's not humanly possible. The goal is to strive to be as thoughtful as we can be at every moment. And when we fail, we must invite our partners to share with us how we let them down. Then it's our partners' jobs to tell us in a constructive, mature, concise, cool and non-attacking way how we missed the mark and what they would prefer from us in the future (that's my X, Y Formula). This is how we work together to make our relationships stronger and more loving. And through this process each of us has the power to make the world a better place.
Your girlfriend has a lot to learn about herself as well as the world of relationships. I would tell her what I said about your mutual roles in this dispute, what she did that wasn't optimal and what you did.
If she's willing to hear the truth, and work on cleaning up her side of the fence (meaning get in touch with her true feelings and talk about them, not act them out by stonewalling and issuing orders (telling you "no"); become aware that she stonewalls and issuesIssues, in the words of the Serenity Prayer, are things you can change, either by making different personal choices and/or by finding ways to work with your partner more effectively. commands rather than get in touch with her feelings of hurt—I do think she felt hurt and rejected when you suggested working rather than spending all your time with her over the holidays; and, last but not least, becoming aware that she plays the victim as a way of not looking at her own role in your fights and conflicts, then there's no hope for a relationship with her.
As for you, as you realized the hard way, action begets a counter-reaction. You became angry and then you derailed by acting out your anger (giving her attitude) instead of using my proven conflict resolution X, Y Formula, which consists of simply describing what the other person has done or said and how you feel about it.
Your job is to work on not allowing yourself to act out when you're provoked or triggered. Otherwise, you're going to fall into the same pattern with your next girlfriend, and then your conflicts will also turn into out of control fighting.
When you talk to her next, start by taking responsibility for your own role in the fight; then tell her what I said about her specific involvement. Ask her if she's willing to own her part of the problem (don't hold your breath!). If she surprises me and sees her role, then there's hope for your relationship. If she won't cop to her own stuff, there's no hope here. In which case, you will need to move on, breathe a sigh of relief, and consider yourself fortunate that you were freed from a partner who is guaranteed to drive you insane.

Leicestershire's preparations for the forthcoming season have embraced the space age.
The county squad paid a visit to the National Space Centre in Leicester as a break from the usual schedule of shuttle runs, bleep tests and nets for a morning of fun, but useful, activities.
"It's been amazing," said veteran Paul Nixon, who made his Leicestershire debut in 1989. "We had Buzz Aldrin up there on the video with us this morning and he was telling us how it's done! There was plenty of togetherness in adversity and it's been good fun."
The day also had a competitive edge with players against staff in the range of activities available at the Space Centre. All-rounder Wayne White was Mission Control leader of the playing side while academy coach Russell Cobb led the staff team.
"The squad are cock-a-hoop with how it went as we've had great fun here. It was a lot about communication and keeping calm heads under pressure as we've had time restraints, lights flashing and sirens going off," said Leicestershire captain Matthew Hoggard.
"We had to perform certain tasks in a certain way. We were not able to see each other and had to communicate through headsets and walkie-talkies so it was all about good communication.
"We are hoping to build a good relationship with the National Space Centre as it's one of the major attractions of Leicestershire. We count ourselves among those attractions and there's a lot going on around Leicester that needs awareness.
"When you talk to people at the Centre and look at the statistics, around 80 per cent of people who visit the National Space Centre come from outside 20 miles."

Bourjois Paris Anticerne pour Petits Matins aka Bourjois Paris Light Diffusing Concealer Review
So it wasn't enough that I tortured you today with one really crummy concealer but here I am again with another rubbish concealer!
Meet Bourjois Paris Anticerne pour Petits Matins:
Better known to the Muse as Bourjois Paris Light Diffusing Concealer, much easier to pronounce that, yes?
I've had this a few months now but never got around to doing the review! Bad Muse, Bad! Depending on how you see it you'll be either really happy it's not available in the US or really sad. This is exclusive to the UK and possibly the Netherlands and a few other European countries, honestly I haven't checked all the site portals so I'm unsure but I got mine from England.
Now honestly as far as I'm concerned normally concealers that come in click style pens with brush applicators are a NEVER go wrong item! I've tried so many I've lost count but I do know I've always been plenty pleased with them however, with much dismay, I have to give a poor review to this one.
I generally love everything and anything Bourjois Paris puts out however they really did a poor job with this concealer. Although I wasn't expecting a miracle, I did expect that the concealer would at least cover my basic woes such as fine lines, dark shadows, and just make my eyes more awake and fresh. Sadly, this did nothing at all for anything in and around my eyes. I was secretly hopeful this would be a nice, thick, moisturizing, pigmented concealer that would replace my very expensive Dior Booster Pen however that's so NOT the case.
I'm unsure why the product fails so miserable. One main problem is of course is it seriously lacks any pigmentation. It glides on well enough and the formula, although not thick, is nicely cooling and moisturizing however the lack of pigmentation causes the main problem. In Bourjois' defense I will say that this isn't really supposed to act as a concealer but more of a highlighter for deflecting off of dark circles and creating the illusion of a better rested you but…well..it doesn't do that either. Honestly, it does a whole lot of nothing.
On top of not doing much in the ways of making the Muse appear rested and awake it also kinda lends a helping hand in making my already dry under eyes even more dry! Sigh! Rant! As you're smoothing on and patting into place it feels quite nice and moisturizing however after the better part of the day goes by your left with major creasing and a dryness that only the Sahara could surpass!
Although the click style pen is a super plus for the Muse as is the handy dandy brush applicator…if I'm honest…neither of those features do much to impress me after my rather long list of wrongs with the product!
I know I wrongfully expected a miracle but at the very least I did want something that at least worked. This one is on the Muse's do not buy list! I just couldn't love it.
The good news is Bourjois Paris has introduced a new concealer which looks promising! The Muse thinks you should hold out and try this new concealer and avoid the Bourjois Paris Light Diffusing Concealer! I'll try to get a review up of this one shortly!
By the way since we are on the topic of jolly old England did you know that they announced the latest Doctor Who Christmas Special for this year! Lord knows, my Holiday isn't complete without knowing the Doctor will make an appearance for Christmas! The Muse enjoys all that wibbley wobbley timey wimey stuff! If there wasn't any Doctor at Christmas it would be like the Year without Santa Claus! GASP! Thank god David decided to take time off of Hamlet to grace us with his presence this Christmas! (Hint: The picture is a bit of a tip off for what to expect this coming season! You either already know what the episode will be about or what is coming thanks to the pic!)

Bourjois Paris Rouge High-Tech Review
10/28/08 14:02 Sihaya:
hi muse!
i loved bourjois 10 hour sleep foundation so i bought their concealer (the black pencil one) – sadly my feelings are exactly the same as yours about Paris Anticerne pour Petits Matins, so i'm thinking maybe it's the same formula in a new packaging?
so i'm still in the search for a perfect concealer on a budget (too bad that Sana Make essence is no good:()
10/28/08 14:04 the Muse:
hi there sihaya!
Me too me too! It was great wasn't it!?
oh no..I guess the formula hasn't improved with the new release…wow….
I dunno honestly I think they are seperate products as they are seperate on the website but you could be right! Sheesh that stinks as I was thinking of purchasing this new version!
Did you see the new foundation with the attached brush? I have my eye on that…I'm hopefully it'll be as fab as 10 hour sleep effect!
I am, every always, on the hunt for a budget concealer but sadly I've only run across high end that actually work!
Thanks for the comment!
Hope we talk again soon!
10/28/08 16:49 Anitacska:
Oh goody, Rose is back! Not so goody about the Cybermen! Can't wait for the Christmas special.
10/28/08 23:24 Katee:
Thanks for saving me some money on this one!
10/29/08 1:56 Sihaya:
awww, you're so sweet!
well the black version concealer could be a new formula, but i find it really not pigmented and making my skin look very dry and with more lines…so it sucks just the same;(
however the brush foundation: some girls on my local forum have just bought it – they say that they are pleased so far and that the coverage is really good, the finish is quite matte, but i'm waiting for a few more reviews to discover if it would work on a flaky skin like mine. i know i could go to the counter and try it on my face, but i'm too germophobic for that;)
10/29/08 2:53 The Makeup Fairy:
Bought this one a few years ago and i was quite pleased with it. Then again it was at the beginning of my makeupadventure so my standards weren't that high yet hehe.
One thing i still remember very well is that the price is way too much for the amount you're getting, you run out of the sucker in no time!
Do not, i repeat, no NOT get the bourjois brush concealor (the black and pink-flowered one you've pictured) i bought it and i hated it. to get the concealer on the brush, you have to click it like 23983 times, plus the colour selection isn't good! the formula is quite okay though.
Love your blog!
10/29/08 6:18 MandyPandy:
A Dr. Who Christmas Special? It damn well better be panto!
10/29/08 6:59 the Muse:
hi Anitacska!
No luck on Rose but the hint was the cyberman good call! I didn't think anyone would notice the shadow in the background!
😉 thanks for the comment!
10/29/08 7:00 the Muse:
hello katee!
my pleasure thanks for the comment!
Hope to hear from you again soon!
10/29/08 7:07 the Muse:
hello again Sihaya!
Yup same probs here with the old version. It makes my wrinkles stand out 😛 that's prob b/c the formula is so drying 😛
oh that's fab news b/c I was so TEMPTED by the brush foundation! It looks awesome!
I have flaky skin too! 😉 Only in the winter where as summer I'm all about oily 😛 yak! So maybe this should be avoided until Summer.
LOL we are so twins me too..I won't touch anything at the counter either 😛 too gross for me ewww!
Thanks for the comment again!
Big Hugs!
Enjoying our chats 😉
10/29/08 7:08 the Muse:
hi makeup fairy!
LOL I know and understand that feeling!
That's pretty true. It's a very small pen…on par with Clinique's pen actually both really tiny but at least the clinique version works
Thanks for the comment
10/29/08 7:11 the Muse:
hi C!
Amen! thanks for telling me as I was hopeful that new version would be better but I guess it's much of the same…crumbs
I really love Bourjois Paris so it's disappointing when they fail at something 😛
Thanks C I really appreciate the loving 😉 hehe!
Hope to hear from you again soon!
10/29/08 7:13 the Muse:
I think you like hijacking my posts Mandy because it's your way of begging for my attention.
It is isn't it?
Am I not giving you enough love!?
10/29/08 9:10 MandyPandy:
Hijacking your posts?!? And here I thought I was making sweet, sweet comment love to you (something, I might add, you can never be bothered to do for me)!
I swear, Izzy: if it wasn't for my great love for BBWs, I'd walk out on your fine, juicy ass toute de suite! *slams door*
10/29/08 9:11 Anonymous:
I am so pleased you love the Dior Booster pen as I do. Simply can't beat it, and it is WAY superior to that YSL one everyone bangs on about!
As for the Doctor? grrrrrrr….oh yeah! Can't wait. Don't care what monsters are in it, as long as I get my DT dose!
Lucy x
10/29/08 9:19 Anitacska:
Oooh, so who's the new assistant then?
I'm a Doctor Who geek myself, so would always spot a cyberman. 😉
10/29/08 9:57 the Muse:
I know, I know I've just been swamped however you're 1st on my reader each morning and my mouse click begins with you and Rouge Deluxe
Iz very sorry for not posting comments forgives me?
I love your sweet whispers word of love in my comment box! Anything from your honeyed fingertips is pure gold for me 😉
10/29/08 10:00 the Muse:
hi Anitacska!
Well since the doctor is returning for three main eppys in 2008-2009 I would say it's safe to say they will prob have celebs as assistants for the temporary episodes and maybe HINT at the new assistant in these three story archs.
Aside from that I really have heard anything about who might sign up for the next trip on board the tardis…as we head into 2010 I look forward to hearing more news and gossip!
Good on ya for spotting the cyberman shadow 😉
10/29/08 10:01 the Muse:
LUCY! I knew the doctor would bring you out of lurkdom
Miss you around here!
Me too! The dior pen is def better than the YSL I actually did a post comparing the two 😉
Lord knows it's too long a wait for David
10/29/08 12:06 Anonymous:
aha, actually the Dior pen brought me out of lurkdom before I read the end of the post about our beautiful David! I love the Booster pen and have turned many people on to it. Touche Eclat, Touche Eschmat. I do read every day though, and I must say, you have done much damage to my wallet over the months heehee We're just supporting the wilting economy, eh?!
Lucy x
10/30/08 14:37 the Muse:
lol ok ok I believe you!
I have to say that the dior is WAY better than YSL and YSL has all the hype 😛
LOL I'm sorry..I do damage to my own wallet if it's any relief lol!
yes we are..we should be proud we are doing out duty for our countries…you rep England and I'll rep the USA lol
btw..DT is gone eh
10/30/08 16:27 lifeilluminated:
I'm sure you heard this already but David Tennant is leaving Doctor Who after he does a few more episodes! I was so crushed when I read that. David is totally "my doctor", more so than any of the others have been Anyways, at least it will free him up to do more brilliant acting jobs that we can see hime in. <3
10/31/08 13:43 the Muse:
hello there lifeilluminated sorry for the delayed reply
Yes I heard a few mornings ago very sad isn't it?
I loved David as well. TB is my absolute fav doctor but david is a runner up for a second place.
Such a shame!
But it's understandable too…I think the show is coming close to it's run as well..guess it's good to get out while it's good 😉
Thanks for the updates 😉 and comment!
Nice to see fellow doctor fans around!

Wingback Chair Reupholstering Tutorial
It is done! Done! Done! Done!
I mentioned earlier this week that I started the actual upholstering part of my wingback reupholstering this weekend and finished it in two days!!!! It was on my "list of things to finish before my parents get here" so I thought once I start I have to get this done.
I started this project over 3 months ago {see first post here} and like many things in design it never turns out exactly the way you think it is going to go. I first started out {in May}wanting to write a really detailed tutorial about how to reupholster a piece of furniture; even though at that point I had NEVER actually upholstered anything before… I thought if I can do it anyone can. BUT I was not as detailed as I thought I was going to be at documenting my progress… and in the end {with a great chair but not a great "How To" post} that is the best advice I am going to give you…. BE DETAILED!!!
I started with this:
and in May I began tearing the chair apart.
I intended to document all pieces of fabric and such I took off the chair, and completely label them so it was very easy to put back on.
As I began to carefully tear the fabric off of the chair {because I wanted to use them for pattern pieces} I took pictures and labeled with a sharpie…
I tried to keep all of the metal teethy parts and cardboard strips to reuse…
But as I would try to finish removing all of the fabric pieces from the chair here and there {whenever I had the chance, daytime, late at night, in the garage, etc} I became less detailed.
And soon my chair looked like this… and then it sat for a month and a half!!!!
All this time I was trying to narrow down what fabric I wanted for the chair… it was quite a process! {see my selection process, here} I wanted something I was going to love, but fabric that I wasn't going to spend a fortune on. I know doing the work myself was going to save a ton of $ but this was my first big project like this and I didn't want to have to buy more if I f*cked it up!!
After I read a few blogs on the how tos for reupholstering to figure out how much fabric I needed {not a whole lot of help because every chair was different!} I took a yard of fabric I had from a client project and laid out the pieces for each fabric. I knew I wanted to have a print on the back and a solid on the front… so after some measuring I came up with 2 yards for the print and 3 yards for the solid. Did I mention I have 2 wingback chairs, but only one fits in my current living room? SO that meant I had to double that to make sure I had enough for both.
Remember how I wanted to use the old fabric pieces for patterns and the metal teeth again… well I started to think why not use ALL of the stuff over again? So I ripped everything apart and used the piping, the felt {that was attached to the fabric to pull it through}, the scary metal teeth, the foam, dacon wrap and even the zipper from the old chair.
I am beyond thrilled with the way the chair turned out! I defiantly know what to do differently for the other chair… and that is the one that will probably end up being the actual chair in the living room, but for my first time… it is awesome! I seriously smile ear to ear every time I walk up and down the stairs!
Sorry for pic over load… but that is how happy I am with it! It totally dawned on me the minute I was finished putting on the double welt to the legs that I should have refinished the legs of the chair…. oh well! After talking to my Mom about when exactly she bought them we narrowed it down to about 20 years ago… so in 10 years when I am tired of the fabric and want to tackle this again I will, but the legs are fine for now!
This was an amazing chair upholstery project! To see more chairs like it check out these links:
Thanks for the great tutorials! I also read your tutorial on the "Slipcovered Wingback Chair" here: http://www.remodelaholic.com/2011/04/slipcovered-wingback-chair-that-i-want/. I have two wingback chairs that I was planning on reupholstering until I read your slipcover blog. Pro/cons for each? Any recommendations? Thank you!
I love the modern take on a classic style

Memphis coach Josh Pastner announced Thursday that he has suspended Wesley Witherspoon.
There is no timetable for a return.
Witherspoon was averaging 11.5 points and 4.9 rebounds per game for the Tigers, who are 12-4 and among the nation's most disappointing teams. They lost at SMU on Wednesday and are 1-1 in Conference USA heading into Saturday's game against Marshall. Memphis was ranked as high as 13th in the AP poll earlier this season.

I think this was as much a strategic message-sending action than anything else. Expect Memphis to get the message and go on a tear. They are certainly talented enough without Witherspoon.

HANCOCK — Portage Health's new GeneXpert machine is up and running, making Portage Health the only hospital in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan to offer molecular diagnostics.
The GeneXpert tests for the presence of bacteria, including that of infectious life-threatening diseases such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ("MRSA"), and H1N1, enabling doctors to make quicker and more informed treatment decisions.
Before molecular testing, samples were used to grow lab cultures, which could take several days to produce results. In the case where a patient's infection must be treated immediately to reduce risk to himself and other patients, timing is critical, said Portage Health lab director Richard Kangas.
"We'd have to wait 24 hours for a sample to grow and it would probably be another 24 hours to identify the bacteria, and that's if it's in the right conditions and environment," Kangas said. "Molecular testing is a completely different way to identify bacteria."
The GeneXpert takes a DNA sample and sets off a chain reaction to quickly produce millions of copies of it. As the quantity increases, color indicators identify the bacteria present in the sample. Within an hour, lab results can be provided to the physician so an accurate diagnosis and course of treatment can be immediately implemented.
"This machine eliminates the step of prescribing antibiotics that might not work, or quarantining a patient when it isn't necessary, which is costly in terms of health and finances," said Portage Health Pathologist Dr. Petio Kotov. "Any way you look at it, it's more beneficial to the patient."
Funded through a $58,650 grant by the Portage Health Foundation, the GeneXpert was installed in January. About 15 percent of hospitals nationwide use the GeneXpert.

M's Bats Lifeless Once Again
SEATTLE - All teams — even these Punch-and-Judy Seattle Mariners — need a big bop every now and then.
Lately, the Mariners haven't gotten enough big ball to match their small-ball ways, and Sunday it was among the factors that cost them for the third time in four games. The Detroit Tigers pulled off an 8-2 victory at Safeco Field, where the Mariners went another day with little production from the middle of their batting order.
The Mariner's 3-4-5 hitters — on Sunday they were Ken Griffey Jr., Adrian Beltre and Jose Lopez — combined for a 2-for-12 game and no runs batted in.
After starting the season 8-3, the Mariners have lost three of their past four games and, in losing two of three to the Tigers, lost a series for the first time this season.
The 3-for-5 hitters went 8-for-36 in the Tigers series, with five of the hits in Friday's victory and three of those in one inning.
"The hitting, pitching and defense feed off each other," manager Don Wakamatsu said. "The last couple of days, we've faced some good pitching and really haven't gotten anything going offensively."
Sunday, 20-year-old right-hander Rick Porcello held the Mariners to five hits and only one extra-base hit in seven innings. That came from Ronny Cedeno, the No. 8 hitter who hit a solo home run in the third inning.
That tied the score 1-1, just before Mariners starter Carlos Silva walked the leadoff hitter in the fifth to set the Tigers on their way to a three-run inning.
The Mariners, who've made bunting, running and small ball their forte, entered the game ranked next-to-last in the American League with a .359 slugging percentage and tied for next-to-last with eight home runs.
In games like Sundays, when Detroit pitching kept baserunners to a minimum, a timely long ball could have pulled the Mariners back in contention. It never happened, and the Tigers stretched their lead with another run off Silva in the sixth, then three in the eighth caused largely by shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt's two fielding errors.
"I believe in this offense and there are a lot of guys right now who are pushing to try to do a lot of things," Wakamatsu said. "But we're going to score some runs. I believe that. It's just a matter of being a little more patient."
Health issues haven't helped the Mariners.
Griffey hasn't played the field in the past week because of a bad back, although nobody has used that as an excuse for his .206 average. Griffey has two homers, two RBI and a .382 slugging percentage.
Russell Branyan missed his second straight game Sunday because of a tight back. He's batting .273 with two homers, three RBI and a team-best .485 slugging percentage.
Adrian Beltre is batting .200 and has no homers and six RBI, with a .280 slugging percentage.
Lopez, the No. 6 hitter most games, is batting .195 with one homer, eight RBI and a .317 average.
Numbers tend to be skewed so early in the season, but it's telling that Endy Chavez has the second-highest slugging percentage on the team at .471. Chavez's single in the eighth inning drove in the Mariners' second run Sunday.
"I think those guys are going to warm up a little bit," Wakamatsu said of Griffey, Beltre and Branyan. "A lot of it is self-imposed pressure. Guys trying to do too much. As we continue to play as a team, individually guys won't try to press as much."
Mariners pitchers gave up a season-high 12 hits and threw three wild pitches. The Tigers beat the M's with their efficiency, pulling off two successful hit-and-run plays and a suicide squeeze.
The Mariners, meanwhile, cost themselves in each of the first two innings when Griffey and Jamie Burke grounded into double plays. Porcello retired 13 straight hitters between the third and seventh innings while the Tigers padded their lead.
"Our overall philosophy is to get a little bit deeper in counts," Wakamatsu said. "We have an aggressive offense and sometimes that can work against you."

Fort Bill! What a Crazy Moment!
It was a year to the day that I got my knee surgery and I was really happy to be able to celebrate this moment in Fort William! Why Fort William? Just because I had a lot of good moments in the past and some bad ones (World's, when I broke my wrist!) Fort William is always special in any way, nice spectators, crazy track, weather, you never know what's going to happen there. :)

Called "an altogether extraordinary pianist" (Newark Star-Ledger), "a witty, congenial and adventurous pianist and composer" (New York Times) and "the Downtown keyboard magus" (The New Yorker), Jed Distler has premiered works by Frederic Rzewski, Lois V Vierk, Virko Baley, Wendy Mae Chambers, Andrew Thomas, Simeon ten Holt, Virgil Thomson, David Maslanka, William Schimmel, Kitty Brazelton, Alvin Curran and Eleanor Hovda, many which were written especially for him.
In addition to recent commissions from Jenny Lin, IonSound and Song in Music, his works have been recorded by Margaret Leng Tan, Guy Livingston and Quattro Mani, among other new-music luminaries, and no summer would be complete without WNYC's ritual broadcast of Jed's String Quartet No. 1, "The Mister Softee Variations." Distler's 2011 solo piano release on the Musical Concepts label "Meditate With The Masters" features his own arrangements of famous classical themes, while his work also can be found on Bridge, New World, Decca, Nonesuch, Naxos and Point Classics.
As Composers Collaborative's co-founder and artist director, Distler has created and programmed such innovative festivals as Solo Flights, Non Sequiturand the long-running Serial Underground series at New York's landmark Cornelia Street Café. A regularly featured CD reviewer and blogger for Gramophone and Classicstoday.com where he mostly writes about piano music, Jed helped uncover the notorious Joyce Hatto scandal in February 2007.
Recent projects include recitals devoted to Thelonious Monk's complete songs and a new record-breaking piece for 180 keyboard instruments. Distler taught for more than 20 years at Sarah Lawrence College, and has received grants and awards from ASCAP, Meet the Composer and American Composers Forum, plus a coveted MacDowell Colony residency.

The Pulse That Pulls You In
Monday, October 18, 2010
I don't know why repetitious and pulsing patterns (minimalist or otherwise) obsess me, but they usually factor into pieces of music that catch me off guard and refuse to let my attention wander. That's what binds today's seemingly unrelated selections.
Heroes and Mentors
Monday, October 11, 2010
OK, you've asked for it. With the Beatles on one end and Beethoven on the other, I expose my musical DNA on Monday's show. In college I absorbed Bob Helps' Zen-like piano posture, paid attention to Stanley Cowell's unsung gifts, lapped up David Maslanka's music history class, got the "tonal green light" from David Del Tredici (he dedicated Opposites Attract to me ) and landed a composer/pianist role model and lifelong friend in Frederic Rzewski.
Transformation and Repetition
Monday, October 04, 2010
I love to bring together seemingly unrelated composers who nevertheless relate. Who had an inkling that Jerome Kitzke and J.S. Bach were rhythmic first cousins? Who could have guessed that John Adams' 20th century minimalism, Jascha Narveson's 21st-century post-minimalism and York Bowen's unabashed 19th-century pianistic vocabulary would effortlessly intertwine? Who knew, period?

COVINGTON -- While there's not much anyone can do to actually alleviate triple-digit temperatures, there are steps homeowners can take to minimize the impact to their power bills and pocketbooks, according to Leigh-Anne Burgess, spokeswoman for Snapping Shoals EMC.
Burgess recommends implementing the following comfort and money-saving tips:
• Close shades, drapes and blinds during the day to block out the sun.
• Adjust the thermostat. During warmer months, raising the thermostat a few degrees can save money. Set the temperature between 78-80 degrees Fahrenheit, and you could save up to 8 percent on monthly cooling bills.
• Be a "fan-atic." While they don't replace air conditioners or heat pumps, fans move air and help you feel more comfortable. On milder days, fans can save as much as 60 percent on electric bills. Fans cool people, not rooms, so turn them off when you leave.
• Service your HVAC regularly. Snapping Shoals EMC recommends having your unit serviced annually to extend the life of your system and save money. Call 770-786-3484 for more information.
• When it's time to replace your cooling system, replace it with an ENERGY STAR-qualified model. Doing so could reduce your energy costs by as much as 30 percent.
• Bigger isn't always better. Too often, cooling equipment isn't sized properly and leads to higher electric bills. A unit that's too large for your home will not cool evenly and might produce higher bills.
• Plant trees and you'll have it made in the shade. Outside shade can reduce air conditioning costs 30 percent. Shade on the east and west is most important.
• Make sure furniture or drapes do not block your registers for supply and return air.
• Seal air leaks around doors and windows. Use calk and weather-stripping.
• Use a microwave instead of the oven.
Burgess said Snapping Shoals is prepared to furnish customers with as much power as they need to get through the current heat wave comfortably.
"Snapping Shoals EMC has adequate capacity to meet the needs of our members during this unprecedented heat wave," she said. "The heat has not affected our ability to provide our members with reliable electric service."

Another Conspiracy by Government against Supreme Court and Chief Justice
Another attack on SC and CJP using his incompetent son. As long as CJP himself is not directly involved, we will keep supporting SC and CJP. We know how these Malik Riazs,Musharrafs,Zardaris and their evil likes play these dirty games.
It was expected that govt. is trying to make a situation like march 2007 to waste more time. this case might give enough time for govt. to drag the cases till next elections. people should be aware that CJ's son is not CJP himself so his actions are his individual actions and who knows why the money was given for? may be CJ's son is not morally as strong as CJP and was being trapped using money or may be the money is for something not related to CJP duties.
Justice loving people in Pakistan should back Supreme Court of Pakistan on this and don't give any chance of winning to the forces of evil destroying the country.
These evil minds should know that no matter how good they plan but Allah is the best of planners and inshaAllah truth and justice will win against corruption and tyranny.
"Familygate soon to picture CJ's son"
Source: http://saach.tv/2012/06/04/family-gate-soon-to-picture-cjs-son/#comment-10134
Washington: Renowned journalist and Pakistan's largest news group's editor Shaheen Sehbai has claimed that soon a scandal is likely to surface against the Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhery's son.
On a famous video site Sehbai unveiled this shocking revelation while apparently giving an interview.
He said "CJ's son was given up to Rs400 million in a planned conspiracy. The conspiracy is now completed and can be brought to surface anytime."
According to Shaheen Sehbai CJ's son received millions of rupees plus sponsored foreign trips with credit cards to be used abroad for him and his family from a famous business tycoon of Pakistan. "There are quite a few people in Pakistan whose earnings are in billions of rupees and who can easily invest in such conspiracy plans. The person who I am referring to has relationships with military and politicians likewise. Nowadays he is very close to government," he added.
Sehbai further said "I received this info from a very credible source. The person, who gave money to CJ's son, had accepted it. They have documented everything. CJ's son has also accepted receiving money in his private gatherings. He is ready to go to jail if it requires."
However, Sehbai said that the details of the business for which this huge money was lent to CJ's son is still unknown. "Few years back Musharaf (Former president of Pakistan) put charges on Iftikhar Ch that he misused his authority to provide his son a job. So how can a job seeker become such a brilliant businessman in just few years that people gave him millions? Therefore, it was a planned conspiracy," Sehbai added.
He also said that CJ Iftikhar Muhammad Ch is very angry on this matter. "CJ said to his close friends that he will sidelined his family," Shaheen continued.
The famous news group's editor also said that famous journalists including Najam Sethi, Kamran Khan and Hamid Mir were aware of the whole matter. He also said that Aitzaz Ahsan, Qamar-uz-Zaman Kaira and other Pakistan Peoples Party's top leadership were also aware of this conspiracy but just could not 'find courage to bring it up.'
Interestingly, according to Shaheen Sehbai Pakistan tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI)'s chief Imran Khan was among those few who knew about it.
Not to forget that following the Prime Minster's contempt of court verdict Imran Khan gave messages to Supreme Court and CJ in his speeches that nation will stand by him (CJ).
Here is the video link of Shaheen Sehbai's interview:

Khud ko taqseem na karna, meray saaray logo!
May Allah rid Pakistan of the crazed power-&-money thirstyband, the fanatical intolerent clique, the looters, the cunning hypocrites, and the disloyal.

Since Feb. 3, nearly 3,000 veterans have taken part in The American Legion's online survey [2] that seeks more information on treatments being used for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). With only two days left before the survey ends, the Legion is urging America's veterans to weigh in with their responses before midnight on Feb. 28.
"We've already gotten a substantial response to our survey," said Verna Jones, director of the Legion's Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation Division in Washington. "But we'd like as many of our country's veterans who suffer from these two conditions to tell us about the treatments they've been receiving, and their thoughts on how well they worked – or if they worked at all. So we hope to see even more veterans take our survey during these last two days before it ends."
The Legion's survey is a continuation of its focus on treatments for TBI and PTSD. It created a committee in 2010 to study alternative and complementary therapies for the conditions, and published its findings last September in a report, "The War Within [3]."
Jones said results from the survey, developed in collaboration with Data Recognition Corporation, will be announced and discussed at a Legion symposium that's tentatively planned for this spring.
If you are veteran with TBI and/or PTSD, take the survey here [2].

Add your own review
Rating: 5 / 5
Pros: ½ zip, SPF 50, thumb holes (++++) allow sleeves to function as half-gloves when needed. Very comfortable, right-side hem stash pocket, flatlock seams, Antimicrobial finish reduces odor. Size Large weighs 11.8oz. Got it on sale at REI for $49.Cons: ½ zip is less versatile than full zip otherwise can't think of any.
For the money this hoodie kills the patagonia version. Used it for 3 days on the N. Rim of the Grand Canyon as my base layer and warm hat in temps from 14F-55F. The halfzip vents well and the thumb holes add versatility as half gloves. The front is more wind resistant and the rear of the arms and back are woven with a more breathable material to allow venting and wicking. I will probably modify the hood with a snap to close it more like a balaclava.If you find one, get it!
I have to differ from Patrick regarding the comparison to the Patagonia R1 Hoody. Yes, both hoodies have a number of excellent features in common - hood, half zip, long cut body, long cut thumbhole sleeves. I still find them very different. The R1 is much warmer and has in my opinion a much superior cut and fit - on me the Patagonia is form fitting on the torso, and the hood has that excellent snug balaclava fit Patrick is trying to achieve with his Impulse. In both areas the Impulse is quite loose.OTOH: I bought the Impulse and didn't buy the R1. Nice as the R1 is, I have difficulty imagining any active scenario for me where it wouldn't be too warm. Whereas the Impulse turns out to be a perfect light mid-layer for high exertion cold-weather activities. I wear it for snowboarding and winter biking, over a closer fitting baselayer and under a hooded softshell, and rarely feel the need for anything more when I'm on the move.I find hooded shirt and shell, together with a buff and a fleece (R1) headband, make a super cosy layering system for my head that eliminates the need for a big balaclava or hat.Pros: most of the aboveCons: cut of torso and hood a bit loose.

Find answers to frequently asked questions about a variety of health conditions, like heart attack, high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation.
How can I help prevent HPV?
How can I prevent AF?
How can I prevent PFO?
How can doctors assess the hostility of a patient?
How are stents placed in blocked arteries?
Stents are placed in the artery through a flexible tube called a catheter during angioplasty. Most often made of metal mesh, stents expands once in place, helping to strengthen the walls of the artery and prevent future blockage.
How can doctors test inflammation of adipose tissue?
The risk factors for PAD are similar to those for heart disease. Some factors you cannot control—being older or having a family history of heart disease—but there are many that you can.
How do I know if I have high cholesterol?
How do doctors determine what types of treatment a person gets?
How do drug-eluting stents differ from other types of stents?
How do femoral and radial access differ when it comes to angioplasty (percutaneous coronary intervention)?
How do experts define low-income?
How do I know if I have peripheral artery disease (PAD)?
How do I know if I have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?
A telltale sign of OSA is chronic loud snoring, interspersed with sounds of gasping or choking. Often a person isn't aware of his or her own snoring and it will take a family member or bed partner to point it out. (Not everyone who snores has OSA, however.) Another prime indicator of OSA for most people is daytime sleepiness, although heart failure patients complain of this symptom less often.
To confirm that you have OSA, your doctor will send you to an overnight sleep laboratory for specialized testing called polysomnography. If this technology isn't available where you live, in-home monitoring devices may be an alternative.
Walking is a safe activity for most people, however always talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program. The components of a good program include:
How can patients improve their health literacy?
How can I reduce my risk for heart attack?
Can a patient with pre-diabetes prevent the onset of diabetes?
A recent study demonstrated that a healthy diet, rich in vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, whole grains, fish, and moderate alcohol intake can help prevent sudden cardiac death and improve overall cardiovascular health.
Can depression be treated?
At what age are adults considered at highest risk for a heart attack?
Am I at risk for pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH)?
Am I at risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)?

my math program gave me a question i thought i knew how to answer, but i keep getting it wrong, and nobody can tell me what im doing wrong.
in an equilateral triangle where all sides = 7, find the area.
so i cut it in half, so A = 3.5 and C =7. so, the squares are 12.25 and 49.
to find B, i did 49 - 12.25 = 36.75 , and then got the square root of that, 6.062. so, that is the hight of the triangle. 7 * 6.062 is 42.434. half of that is 21.217.
i put that as the answer, but got it wrong, nobody can explain to me why, ive tried rounding it to 21, 21.2, and 21.22..and none of those helped. can somebody help me with a different way of doing this, or tell me what im doing wrong?

On Monday, we almost hit 70, we barely hit 40 on Tuesday and Wednesday, tomorrow night got into the 20s, and today we're back into the 50s. So what does that mean for what we can expect as we get into winter?

WFP Assists Nomad Communities in Djibouti
Recent droughts in the Horn of Africa have severely affected the pastoralist communities of Djibouti. The people of this region -- where the climate is largely unsuited to crop production -- often are forced to sell their animals and other assets in order to buy food. The urban section of the population is also vulnerable to high food prices, since much of what they rely on is imported. WFP is assisting almost 70,000 people through food distributions and food-for-work activities, which aim to make communities more self sufficient.

|Soucek Boone ETJ Bill In House Committee
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 25 June 2012 06:00
Senator Dan Soucek's bill to end the Town of Boone's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction has moved to the house side of the Legislature, and is one of six bills in committee for late this afternoon. The bill is on the Rules, Calendar, and Operations of the House committee agenda, set for a 5:30pm meeting.
The full House and Senate will resume business tonight at 7. On the House calendar is a provision for local bills, but Representative Jonathan Jordan said over the weekend that his House Bill 1227 might die in the short session with budget and other more pressing matters before the Legislature. His bill would kill Boone's effort to take raw water from the New River and return treated water just downstream by removing a key provision reclassifying the stretch of the river.
