I would like to take this class, before I register, just want to check on supplies needed and the amount of time to set aside for this, I have never done a class like this, is there anything else I need to know?
Hi coppsu,
I will post one lesson per day for 7 days. My lessons are pretty self-explanatory, and some people just work through the lessons at their own pace. Others read the lessons and practice the skills being taught as we go along. I'll be supplying small scale patterns that you can download and print off if you want to practice making the pattern alterations shown in the lesson. You can, of course, also make them on full-scale patterns if you wish.
Some of the lessons can be read and studied in about 1/2 hour to 1 hour. There are a couple of longer lessons that might take a bit more time. It also will depend on how much practicing you want to do.
Really all you need for the class is paper, pencil, rulers, scissors, and scotch tape. If you had a lot of time to devote to the class, you could also make a garment using the FBA/SBA information, but that's not really the point of the class -- the focus is on learning the pattern work.
I hope this helps explain a bit more. Please let me know if you have more questions.
Sarah, I have dvd's and books on fitting and something always goes off . Often it's the hem , Is this part of the class? I'm interested. Millie
Hi Millie,
I talk about the adjustments that need to be made to the front when making a small bust or full bust adjustment. During the class, I would be happy to give your some pointers on how to think about the hem/bottom of the garment when making pattern adjustments in general.
Hi Sarah,
I am currently struggling with various methods of FBA's. I'm interested in this class and have a few questions.
Will you be teaching only one method of doing the FBA/SBA, like the "slash & spread" or "pivot & slide" and, if so, which one?
Will we learn how to apply and fit the FBA/SBA for our individual measurements or is the class more of a general "how to" for the different concepts?
Will we be able to print out all of the information?
Hi Hazelnut,
I will be teaching you several different ways to think about making either a FBA or SBA, in terms of where the change is made on the pattern. There is lots of information about what you want to accomplish with either of these adjustments, and that can affect which method you choose.
In terms of executing the pattern work, it is a combination of slash and spread, and just taking control of your pattern work (rather than having to adhere to one pattern alteration method).
There is lots of general information about the FBA/SBA, what it accomplishes, as well as how to assess a commercial pattern so that you know how much of a FBA/SBA you need/want to make. I tend to teach fairly theoretically, giving you background information and ways to think about the pattern manipulation so that you can apply the principles to your body in any number of situations.
The lessons are in PDF format, and you can print them off. You can also print the transcripts from the chats.
If you have follow-up questions, I'm happy to answer. I hope I have addressed all of your concerns.
I am a very tiny woman with a huge bustline (32j, depending on who I order from) and my 14 year old is already a 32 FFF. Will this class cover how to make adjustments to fit the patterns to both our bust and bodies? We are both very slender. I am a very experienced seamstress but that much of an adjustment is a bit too much for me to get my head around. I would love to be able to learn if possible.
The class covers making full bust adjustments, which allows you to use a smaller size pattern -- which is what you and your daughter need for your frame (bone structure). And the lessons will give you several ways to do a full bust adjustment. I think the class would be very helpful to you, since it also explains the theory behind the FBA; for example, why you need to lengthen the center front portion of the pattern when doing a full bust adjustment. I can also help you decide what type of pattern to start with for your figure type.
While the class isn't focused on fitting the entire body, I can certainly help you conquer the bust area and give you some tips on fitting the rest of the body.
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions. I'd enjoy working with you.
I am so excited to see a class listed on this topic. I am crazy busy right now sewing for a wedding and working full time. My question is, if I sign up for the class and download material and stuff, but later as I use it more have struggles, can we email you for support? I am thinking over the next 6 months. I realize this is asking a lot but I just wondered.
Debbie -- Yes, after the class board is closed (about one week after the last chat date), you can send questions to me about the class via [email protected]

How to Stop the War? Is fighting fire with fire the answer?
'Humanity', our Shared Conscience
K Haridas
24 September 2007
HaridasIs there a better option than war and violence? The answer lies in our quest and commitment to peace. Diplomacy has failed us because fundamentally this seems to serve 'interests' and not principles.
A few months ago I attended a conference on the theme 'Humanity in War' with the subtitle 'Even wars have limits'. Organized by the Asia Europe Institute and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) the conference advocated 'International Humanitarian Laws' which are critical in times of war and violence. One immediately sensed the paradox of associating humanity with war.
Yet, what do we mean when we use the term 'humanity'. This transcending and unifying notion is critical in this era of globalisation. Without an inner sense of human dignity it would be difficult to accept on par issues of diversity and plurality that confront us globally. The humanness of the human being rooted in our common sense of conscience is in essence what humanity represents. Through reflection and silence we can expand our hearts and minds to understand the otherness of the 'other'.
This is why 'war' is basically criminal. In killing one another we inflict harm and violence to the body of humanity. War more than any other means has been the underlying cause for the negation of faith and hope. War breeds greater violence and sustains a climate of fear and hopelessness. War itself has to be criminalized. In the end the question remains, 'What have we learnt from wars and violence?'
Nearly six million Jews died at the hands of the Nazis. More than three million Soviet prisoners died in Germany. The two major world wars of the 20th century killed nearly 30 million young people. The 1st World War killed some 8.5 million, and 2nd World War contributed another 87 million deaths. Over seven million people have since died from conflicts in Mexico, the Nigerian civil war, Indo-Pak wars, the Korean War, Vietnam, Iran-Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Chechnya, Sri Lanka, Acheh, South Thailand and Southern Philippines to mention several flash points that have captured the headlines over the last two to three decades.
Yet, the UN clearly recognizes war as lawful in circumstance where self-defense is the rational next option. At best the military can serve as a source of deterrence. Wars today are not really an option that should be exercised. However humanized war may be it remains fundamentally inhumane. Weapons today are more sophisticated, precise and deadly. These can be delivered presently from several platforms ranging from a tank, ships, submarines, and fighter jets to unmanned aerial vehicles.
The US is now working on hyper sonic drones. These can select targets the world over within two hours. With cluster bombs and depleted uranium munitions the outreach is over a wide area enough to cause what is now commonly referred to as collateral damage. The weapons of the future will integrate nanotechnology and robots. Killings and the infliction of damage will be more precise. The temptation to test such weapons will also effectively drive the desire for war amongst major players.
Despite protection provided by International Humanitarian Laws and the Geneva Conventions, increasingly more and more civilians end up as casualties of war. In the 1st World War the average was 20 combatants to 1 civilian, in the 2nd World War this increased to 1 combatant to 1 civilian. In the national liberations wars, civil wars and more recent events it has increased further: the Human Security Centre at the University of British Columbia, Canada highlight that 90% of those killed in today's wars are civilians with women and children disproportionately victimized.
Is there a better option than war and violence? I suppose the answer lies in our quest and commitment to peace. Diplomacy has failed us because fundamentally this seems to serve 'interests' and not principles. The United Nations has fundamentally been reduced to a platform where nations barter interests. A Diplomat once said that 'war is a continuation of diplomacy by other means'. Combined with the instrument of the 'veto' the UN at best seems to serve the exercise of power and selective interests.
A commitment to the spirit of humanity and the pursuance of human dignity must enjoin us in our quest for Peace. This requires serious commitment, one that seeks no other options. This must ensure that conflicts are addressed in a more holistic manner. Issues and underlying tensions need to be flagged. Dialogue, negotiations, alternative dispute resolution processes must all contribute towards promoting understanding and trust. Human security issues must be developed to ensure that basics such as health, food, employment, environment and mobility are available to the disputants.
Dialogue must ensure that power distances between the parties to the conflict are narrowed. Promoting dialogues without addressing the equation of power often leads to failures. When addressed, these provide the means and the confidence for ensuring that initiatives for peace and understanding are continually sustained. Other key ingredients include the need for changing attitudes and motivations. There can be no peace without justice, no justice without forgiveness and no forgiveness without honesty. An agenda for reconciliation must be in place. The realizations from one conflict can often provide the basis for human dynamics in inspiring attitudinal change in the resolution of another.
The actors in the conflict must be trained to see the other for his or her humanness. Their faith perspectives should be drawn to express the inclusive nature of the human family. Linking the transcendent with values provides a foundational basis for common understanding. Fear has to be neutralised. In the shared concern for the future, for our children, grandchildren and for humanity we must find the resources, the capacities and the possibilities for Peace. In doing so, we ennoble one another in a quest that is crucial for the future in an increasingly interconnected global environment.

Beaver County jail officer accused of domestic violence
A Beaver County jail officer has been arrested, jailed and fired in the wake of an alleged domestic violence incident that purportedly ended with him considering suicide before being taken into custody.
Sheriff's Lt. Keith Draper on Friday confirmed that 29-year-old Deputy Luke Malcolm Emack, formerly of the sheriff's corrections division, was arrested Wednesday night on a warrant alleging third-degree felony aggravated assault/domestic violence. Emack was transferred from the Beaver County jail to Iron County, where he remained in custody Friday.
Draper referred questions about the specifics of Emack's termination to Sheriff Cameron Noel, who did not immediately answer inquiries. Draper also declined to discuss details of the domestic violence allegations against Emack.
However, a probable cause statement filed Tuesday in Beaver's 5th District Court states that Emack is accused in an Oct. 6 incident involving his girlfriend at the couple's home in Beaver. Emack and the woman had been arguing, and when he attempted to back his car out of the garage, she attempted to retrieve some items from the vehicle.
When Emack allegedly continued backing out, an open car door struck the woman, who then shut the door and threw a shoe at the car while standing at the rear of the garage. At that point, she claimed, Emack then drove the car toward her, forcing her to flee to the door leading into their home.
"As she got to the door, Luke [allegedly] drove the car into a child's bouncy horse, which was against the back wall ... then backed out of the garage and left," Beaver County Sheriff's Lt. Cody Black wrote. "[The girlfriend] stated she did fear for her safety when this happened."
A sheriff's deputy later located Emack, who allegedly acknowledged he had driven the car toward the woman, "spinning the tires," but only to scare her. Emack insisted he did not intend to harm the woman, according to court documents.
A court summons was served Wednesday on Emack. "Mr. Emack responded to the summons by saying, 'My life is over, I don't have any reason to go on.' "
Later, Emack was reported to be standing on the edge of a cliff, talking to a neighbor on the phone. Emack reportedly was talked out of leaping by the neighbor, but deputies "concerned about Mr. Emack's safety" then sought a warrant for his arrest.
An initial appearance for Emack is set for Oct. 17 before Judge G. Michael Westfall in Beaver.

HORSLEY AND SHERLOCK EARN MEDALIST HONORS AT PGA NATIONAL 14 boys and girls earn entry into the PING Junior at Mirasol
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — In his first AJGA tournament, Neil Horsley of Cooper City, Fla., shot a 5-under 67 to earn medalist honors in the Boys Division in the Srixon Qualifier for the PING Junior at Mirasol. Stephanie Sherlock of Barrie, Ontario, also shot under par in her first AJGA tournament, as her 2-under 70 captured medalist honors in the Girls Division.
The American Junior Golf Association conducted the Srixon Qualifier for the PING Junior at Mirasol at the PGA National Resort & Spa's Haig Course. Twelve boys and two girls qualified for the 84-player event that begins on Wednesday, June 8, at The Country Club at Mirasol's Sunrise Course — the same venue used for the PGA TOUR's The Honda Classic.
With birdies on three of his first four holes, Horsley set a pace the remainder of the field could not match. Horsley sustained the momentum and finished the round with six birdies and only one bogey, giving him medalist honors by three shots over Christopher Muratore of New Smyrna Beach, Fla.
"I was making putts all day," Horsely said. "I chipped in on No. 10 and made a 60-footer on No. 11. I just didn't want to choke at the end."
Also qualifying in the Boys Division are Kazuki Imura of Wesley Chapel, Fla., Drew Florio of Celebration, Fla., Bennett Smith of Orlando, Fla., Jared Wolfe of Louisville, Ky., John Welden of Pilot Mtn., N.C., Danny Evelyn of Wellington, Fla., Andrew Colvin of Longwood, Fla., and Carlos Velez of Miami, Fla.
Two players also emerged from a nine-player playoff to capture the final two positions in the Boys Division. Billy Bowling of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and Paul Moxen, Longwood, Fla., won the two-hole playoff with a birdie and a par.
In addition to these participants gaining entry into this week's event, Eric Johannsen of Naples, Fla., Zach Lee of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., and Glenn Slezak of Norwood, N.J., earned a tournament exemption in lieu of playing in the PING Junior at Mirasol.
In the Girls Division, Sherlock also racked up the birdies en route to her win, as she birdied three of the four par 5s. Despite a double-bogey on her second hole, she remained calm knowing the short par 5s would play to her advantage.
"I wasn't hitting the greens in two, I was getting up-and-down from 50 yards," Sherlock said. "I'm happy with the win because I'm not the best in one-day tournaments."
Madison Pressel of Boca Raton, Fla., joins Sherlock as the second girl to qualify for the PING Junior at Mirasol. Pressel shot a 75 to earn the second qualifying spot. Jordyn Hage of Winter Park, Fla., earned a tournament exemption in lieu of playing in the PING Junior at Mirasol as well.
The American Junior Golf Association is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf. The largest Association of its kind, the AJGA has a junior membership (boys and girls ages 12-18) of approximately 5,000 junior golfers from 50 states and 30 foreign countries.
Titleist, the AJGA's National Sponsor, has been the catalyst and driving force behind the Association's success since 1989. Rolex Watch USA, which enters its third decade of support, became the inaugural AJGA Premier Partner in 2004.
AJGA alumni have risen to the top of amateur, collegiate and professional golf. More than 200 former AJGA juniors currently play on the PGA and LPGA Tours and have compiled more than 280 wins. AJGA alumni include Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Mike Weir, Charles Howell III, Jim Furyk, Dottie Pepper, Grace Park, Cristie Kerr and Beth Bauer.
First-round tee times begin Wednesday at 7 a.m. off the No. 1 and 10 tees at The Country Club of Mirasol — Sunrise Course. For more information on the PING Junior at Mirasol, please contact tournament headquarters at (561) 776-4949 ext. 105.
The Foundation
The Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Grant program provides financial assistance to junior golfers who wish to play in AJGA events. Its goal is to give top-flight golf opportunities to young golfers regardless of financial resources. This program helps to fulfill the AJGA's mission of developing young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.
What is Leadership Links?

Genie bugs reportedI'm working through my Genie web pages, updating them, and of course testing all the examples.
I am using vala from git, October 24, 2009.
Two of the examples (so far) do not compile and I have reported to the bugzilla:

Genie strings
Hi Barry,
While you're looking at your Genie web pages, there's a reference to a string function 'up' which converts a string to uppercase.
If the usage is supposed to be: up("string"), it does not work.
I get:
The name `up' does not exist in the context of `Tray.get_current'
That last bit is just a class and method I'm working on.
I'm using Vala 0.7.4. here.

Bug N°1
Hi Barry,
If you have updated the libgee, the bug n°1 is not a bug, but a change in the lib !
Use this:
/* test dicts */
var d = new dict of string,string
/* add or change entries with following */
d["Genie"] = "Great"
d["Vala"] = "Rocks"
/* access entires using d[key] */
for s in d.keys
print "%s => %s", s, d[s]
See you,

hiawatha admin scripts
Hi Barry,
I don´t see any administrative command line for hiawatha in Puppy, then I requested for that feature in Hiawatha forum and the answer was:
"The Hiawatha source tarball comes with a start, stop, restart and status script. If Puppy didn't use it, it's not my fault."
Barry, Does Puppy has or not those scripts?. These command line parameters are not included in the hiawatha executable, but seems some scripts added in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ for some other distros. Could be those scripts included in Puppy?
To read my feature request post in haiwatha see:

The most appropriate thing to do would have been to get the hiawatha pet pkg from ibiblio and see what is in it.
#> tar -zxf hiawatha-6.17.1-p4.pet
...and you would have discovered /usr/sbin/hiawatha.run.
Posted on 27 Oct 2009, 7:20 by BarryK
Thanks for that! yes, I upgraded to the latest libgee.
Ah, so it logically follows that "d.values" will work too ...yes it does.
I'll be glad when they get close to vala 1.0 and freeze things like this.

Genie bugs resolved
Both bugs have been resolved, and I have closed them at the bugzilla.
Posted on 27 Oct 2009, 11:22 by Jota
Is it??
Barry, I really don't think your answer to "clarf" makes good sense!!
(Somehow, maybe is just my impression, but lately you seem a little too hard and bitter??)
Posted on 27 Oct 2009, 22:19 by clarf
Hi Barry,
I know you are a busy man, I should search for my self first before ask you (at least you reply). My intention is not to bother you with small problems, I want to collaborate, learn and also make Puppy better. Excuse me if I was inopportune...
Well I don´t know if you tried it but, the /usr/sbin/hiawatha.run file doesn´t work, when I try to run it I get: Duplicate extension (pl) found in CGIhandler /usr/bin/perl.
Reading the hiawatha.run script, it seems to call a binary call "wigwam", if I run wigwam I get the same error.
I´ll search in google and look at the error, Maybe it´s a stupid error that you can fix easily or maybe I making something wrong or stupid, I only want to report it to you.
Thank you for you attention pleased Barry,
Posted on 27 Oct 2009, 23:14 by clarf
hiawatha.run fixed
Hi Barry,
I could manage to use hiawatha.run and get ride off the duplicated extension error.
I´ll write it just for the record, I modified line 23 from /etc/hiawatha.conf, removing the pl extension (leaving only: CGIextension=bin). Surely I removed some "Puppy" functionality and surely you knew it, but now I can start and restart hiawatha using hiawatha.run (as far as I see its running just fine, I didn´t broke anything that I normally use).
Thank you again,
Posted on 28 Oct 2009, 7:33 by BarryK
The personal blog, PPLOG, needs that .pl extension. The .bin is needed by QUISP.
It was the Hiawatha developer himself who advised me to put both with comma delimiter:
CGIextension = pl,bin
My scripts /usr/sbin/pplog_gui and quisp_shell only call hiawatha.run when they want to stop the server.
...just tested it, yep works.
Ah, "hiawatha.run start" does give an error. It is actually the line "wigwam -q". Yeah, ok, I will get onto the developer about that.
Actually, my previous rather terse reply to you was mostly concern that you had gone to the Hiawatha developer with a problem that you could easily have dealt with. The Hiawatha developer has a reputation for quite caustic replies. He would likely have the view that he just says it like it is, doesn't pull any punches.
Hmmm, his 'wigwam' is faulty, it contradicts the advise he personally gave me. I'll let him know pronto.
You could just take the "wigam -q" line out of hiwatha.run.
Posted on 3 Nov 2009, 9:11 by clarf
Hi Barry,
I did a second test to the personal blog PPLOG, after changed /etc/hiawatha.conf in line 23 to fix the "hiawatha.run start" error.
PPLOG seems to works fine, I started it and the helcome HomePage was shown, later I created some new entries and could look at them at "Archive" link content. Also read the new Categories created....
I really think that my previous little fix does not remove any functionality (I started QUISP and seems to run fine too), the previous error pointed that the perl component was initialized twice, then it´s logical that perl apps work.
Barry, could you please look at this change. I did some basic test and everything works fine, but I just started to use PPLOG and QUISP from now.
In this case we can keep the "wigam -q" command and we could add the status command to hiawatha.run defined here:
Thank you for the attention and waiting for an answer.
Posted on 3 Nov 2009, 16:01 by BarryK
I have had some email communication with the Hiawatha developer. He said these two lines are clashing:
CGIhandler = /usr/bin/perl:pl
CGIextension = pl,bin
He indicated that we could either remove the "pl" from the second line or remove the first line.
I have chosen to comment-out the first line, and have modified the hiawatha pet package. I'll upload it to ibiblio soon.
Posted on 27 Nov 2009, 2:13 by clarf
hiawatha pet
Hi Barry, I can´t see any new hiawatha pet in ibiblio (searched in 4 and 5 series, also Woof)are you going to upload it soon?.
I´m asking because a new version 6.18 was released. Then it could be good to compile the new version, adding the changes to hiawatha.conf and updating hiawatha.run script as we discussed before.
Thank you for the attention pleased Barry.

Individual differences in cognitive reappraisal usage modulate the time course of brain activation during symptom provocation in specific phobia

Extinction learning is proposed to be one key mechanism of action underlying exposure-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in specific phobia. Beyond that, cognitive reappraisal, one important strategy to regulate negative emotions, is a crucial component of CBT interventions, but has been disregarded in previous studies investigating neural change processes in specific phobia. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of individual differences in habitual/dispositional cognitive reappraisal usage and the time course of brain activation during phobic stimulation in specific phobia.
Dental phobic patients and healthy control subjects participated in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study whilst being confronted with phobic, disgust, fear and neutral pictures. Individual differences in cognitive reappraisal usage were assessed via a self-report questionnaire and correlated with activation decreases over the course of time.
Phobic individuals with higher dispositional cognitive reappraisal scores showed a more pronounced activation decline in the right dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) which might be associated with a diminution of explicit cognitive emotion regulation over the course of time. Less decrease of activation in the right ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and the lateral orbitofrontal cortex (lOFC) over time in subjects with higher cognitive reappraisal scores might be related to a stronger automatic regulation of emotions or even emotional relearning. Additionally, phobic subjects compared with healthy controls showed a stronger habituation of the left dmPFC over the course of symptom provocation.
The results of this study show for the first time that individual differences in cognitive reappraisal usage are associated with the time course of brain activation during symptom provocation in specific phobia. Additionally, the present study gives first indications for the importance of considering individual differences in cognitive reappraisal usage in the treatment of specific phobia.

'Jacks rally for win to cap impressive spring trip
Chesapeake hosts defending region champion Potomac State on Monday
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. Even after playing 10 baseball games in five days, the Skipjacks had the energy to stage an impressive comeback to cap their Florida spring trip.
Chesapeake College overcame a 6-3 deficit to defeat Worcester (Mass.) State College's junior varsity, 11-9, Thursday afternoon, tying the game with a three-run fifth and taking control with a five-run sixth inning. The win allowed the Skipjacks to finish their spring trip with a 7-3 mark, running their overall record to 14-4.
Earlier in the day, Chesapeake defeated North Central (Ill.) College's junior varsity, 7-3, as the Skipjacks finished the trip with three straight victories.
""I was very pleased with the way we played, those being our ninth and tenth games of the week," said Chesapeake head coach Frank Szymanski. "We played with great energy and with great effort."
Brian Brown's two-run single capped the three-run fifth inning as the Skipjacks pulled into a 6-6 tie with Worcester. Jeremy Grove's sixth-inning single scored Brad Brainer, who had reached on a walk, to put Chesapeake in front to stay. Bryan Woolford (3-for-4, two triples) added a two-run triple as part of the five-run sixth inning.
Reliever Justin Felgenhouer earned the victory in the Worcester contest, allowing one run on one hit and four walks in 1 2/3 innings. Fellow reliever Chad Eagerton earned the save, allowing just two hits over the final 2 1/3 innings.
John Windsor was the winning pitcher against North Central Illinois, spacing seven hits and three walks over seven innings. None of the three runs allowed by Windsor, who struck out four, were earned.
"John just did a great job he threw strikes and kept the game moving," said Szymanski. "I was very proud of him."
Barry Fetter supported Windsor with a 3-for-3 hitting effort, while Lee Adams (double, three RBI), J.V. Herbert (double, two RBI), and Chris Cirillo each had two hits.
Szymanski said the 10-game trip provided the coaching staff with considerable insight regarding their team.
"We learned a lot about the dynamics of our team and got to play a lot of baseball in great weather," said Szymanski. "We had six straight quality pitching starts. In fact, our pitching, with the exception of one game, was outstanding throughout the trip."
The Skipjacks host defending NJCAA Region XX Division I champion Potomac State College of West Virginia University Monday at 3 p.m. before moving into the meat of their Maryland Junior College Athletic Conference schedule.
"We think we're prepared for the conference schedule that awaits us," said Szymanski, "and we're looking forward to playing Potomac State they're the defending champions, and it will be a big test for us."
Chesapeake's earlier spring-trip games are summarized below, with most recent games first.

Chesapeake College 7, Prairie State CC 5

Joe Ashley (double, triple, two runs) and Lee Adams (double, two RBI) each went 3-for-4 while Justin Powell (two doubles, RBI) and Brown (stolen base) each added two hits.

Sussex County College 5, Chesapeake College 4 (10 innings)
J.V. Herbert and J.T. Gregory had consecutive, RBI doubles in the top of the seventh to break a 2-2 tie, but Sussex came back with two in the home seventh Monday to force extra innings.

My daughter has requested that I create something similar to to this Anthropology top.
Obviously, I won't be able to find the same fabrics. I pulled out some florals, stripes, dots and abstracts from my stash, but I have to admit that I do not understand how to combine prints at all... yet it's the combination of a variety of prints that makes this top so adorable.
A search of fashion blogs, runway shows, and rtw sites reveals all sorts of plaids, prints, colors and patterns! I can't figure out the "rules" of how to make it all come together and look right.
Can anyone explain how to do this??
See if this helps:
8 Simple rules for mixing patterns
------I've quit fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.
It's just fabric; we can out-think it.
Thanks for the link, BriarRose. I have decided to start playing with sheer prints over prints instead of always over solids. This is going to be fun.
------I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.
Something that may help is to lay out a fabric combo and then stand back from them to gauge the balance. Try to fold them to get the proportions you need for the top, even if you have to lay a plain sheet over the excess so you can't see it. If you're too close it's hard to stop looking at the detail of each print.
If you narrow it down, I'm sure PR would be happy to offer you opinions. Or even post a selection of fabrics and ask what combinations people suggest.
Have fun.
------Mel (Melbourne, Australia)
I don't combine a lot of patterns when sewing clothes but when designing costumes I throw all my materials across a white sheet. If they look good in a tumble they usually look even better in a project. You might try the same thing with fabrics you are considering.
Try just laying the prints in the approximate location they would be on the pattern, in the same proportion you would want. In that shirt you are duplicating, I don't think it would be as attractive if the green dot was the main piece, as it is so bright compared to the other 2 more subdued prints. It looks like an easy shirt to replicate the tone of it.
------height 5'2" bust 36, waist 31, hip 39.
I have way too many yards to count, and I will never use them up, but I will die trying!
One of the things I remember from watching a lot of home dec shows years and years ago was that you should choose a color scheme, and then mix the *scale* of the prints. So you can see in the top, there is one large, bold pattern (the main floral), one small bold pattern (the polka dots), and one large/medium muted pattern. I also try to remember the adage "good design repeats itself," so if there's an opportunity to re-use a print--like perhaps using the same fabric for the neck/sleeve binding as for the band--then those elements will start to make more sense.
I do have to admit that I am not fully on board with the way stylists are mixing prints these days (last night's "What Not To Wear" paired a black and white print skirt with a different black-and-white print/sequined top, and it looked totally wrong to my eye), so it's possible the traditional rules are in flux ATM.
Good luck!
------~Gem in the prairie
I did that for that McCalls Boho-Retro dress with the kimono sleeves a few years ago and it's still my favorite dress. WHat I did was pick the print that would take up the most visual space.Then I took a smaller scaled print in one of the colors for the next fabric. The
A few years ago I used 3 prints for that McCall's Duro dress with kimono sleeves.I chose the largest scaled print that would have the most visual impact because it was the skirt front.I used a smaller scale print in one of the colors in the first print for the second and a tiny print in one of the other colors. for the third. The designs were different-I used an Asian cherry blossom print,a smaller blurry rose print,and a little twig print.It was the colors that really created a new look together. Take a look at the Batiks in your local fabric store for inspiration they all would blend with and compliment each other. carry

text: By JARRED OPATZ T-G Special Projects Editor The Art of Gardening Club kind of named itself. Its because we meet here, said its president, Debbie Sickmiller, after the clubs most recent meeting Wednesday morning at Ashland Community Arts Center. And because I really think gardening is an art. The nearly 1-year-old club takes care of the flower beds around the Arts Center in exchange for meeting 9 a.m. the first Wednesday of every month in its building. In May, about seven members pruned the shrubbery, pulled weeds and applied several inches of dark brown mulch to the flower beds, which an Eagle Scout, John McQuate, first planted several years ago. Several of them got together to talk about their work at Wednesdays meeting in the middle of National Garden Week. Keeping with the idea of gardening as an art, the clubs 2006 theme is Learning the Art of Gardening. Learning about gardening is what the club is all about, Sickmiller said. We all know a little about gardening, Sickmiller said. Were all learning a lot with our programs. Because Sickmiller said she wasnt learning what she wanted to learn in another garden club she belonged to, she started this one. I was kind of a haphazard gardener, not really knowing what I was doing when I chose something to put in the ground and I wanted to learn how to be a better gardener, Sickmiller said. I found that the club I joined had already done that, been there, and didnt really meet my needs. It hasnt taken long for the club to grow since it started in August. I think at the first meeting, we had six, Sickmiller said. By the end of the year, we had 21. Through word of mouth and ads and articles in the Times-Gazette, people found out about the new garden club and it grew quickly, Sickmiller said. Lana Potter joined about a year ago when she was invited to attend a meeting by a club member. Potter said some of the things she enjoys about the club are the exchange of home gardening information and trading plants. I also like the opportunity to beautify places in the community that people can enjoy who dont have a garden of their own, Potter said. Besides maintaining the plantings at the Arts Center, the club also maintains plantings at Appleseed Park on South Street in Ashland. And it goes on several outings, such as to Petittis Garden Center in Strongsville, which several members visited after Wednesdays meeting. There are a lot of nice people in the club, said member Dave Kowalka. They all have different talents and interests. I love it. As evidenced by Kowalka being a member, the club is for both men and women. So far, Kowalka, who joined with his wife, Diana, is the only man in the club. The club also is for all ages. I dont think were that much different than other garden clubs, its just difficult to get into some garden clubs because they have limits on membership numbers, Sickmiller said. We have an open membership. We will take as many people who want to join. n Jarred Opatz can be reached at 419-281-0581, ext. 256, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, regarding this story and other story ideas.

Singing for Supper
Thursday 19th of May 2011 08:41 AM
By Kim L. Fritzemeier
KFRM Central Kansas Reporter
Farm Wife along the Stafford/Reno County Line
You've heard the expression, "Sing for your supper?" Well, I didn't have to sing for my supper. But I did have to cut onions.
Jill can't cut onions without crying. Eric is usually elected for the job. But I took the task off his hands during our recent visit to Omaha. If someone else is planning and executing the bulk of the meal, cutting onions is a small price to pay.
They made an Oriental Beef and Noodle dish as a Mother's Day meal for me and Eric's mom, Christy. The dads got to eat, too, even if it wasn't for their special day.
Jill used the modern-day cookbook equivalent ... a link to the internet. I'm a dinosaur who still likes my old-fashioned cookbooks, but she had her laptop by her side.
She used several ingredients that aren't readily available in my kitchen, telling me I'd better take a photo for my readers (See ... she was thinking of you guys!)
Mix together soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic, and chili paste (or chili oil.)
Place sliced beef in the mixture and toss to coat. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high to high heat. When it is very hot, throw in the onions and cook for less than a minute. Remove to a separate plate. Return skillet to flame, allow to reheat, and add bell peppers (and hot pepper/jalapeno if using.) Cook for a minute, tossing, until peppers have brown/black bits but are still firm. Remove to a plate.
Return skillet to heat and allow to get hot. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add 1/3 of the meat mixture, evenly distributing over the surface of the skillet. Allow to sit for 20 to 30 seconds, then turn with tongs.
Cook for another 30 seconds, then remove to a separate plate. Repeat with remaining meat until all brown.
Reduce heat to low. Add all meat, onions, and peppers to the skillet and toss to combine. Pour in remaining sauce (the sauce the meat marinated in) and stir. Allow to simmer on low for a few minutes. Sauce will slowly thicken. Turn off heat.
Turn off boiling water, then throw in noodles. Stir, then allow noodles to sit in hot water for 8 minutes or so (check package directions to be sure.) Drain, then add 1/2 the noodles to stir fry. Toss together, then add more noodles to taste. Add very hot water if needed to thin.
Top with cilantro leaves. Serve immediately. Jill made another batch of the sauce and served it on the side for drizzling on the completed meal (Because of food safety, don't use any of the remaining sauce from the marinating process without it being cooked).
By the way, May is Beef Month. So if you needed a reason to try this recipe out, celebrate! More than 30,000 farmers and ranchers manage and care for a grand total of 6.3 million head of cattle, which is over 2 ½ times the state's population. There's the beef!
We have fewer head of cattle after a trip to the Pratt sale barn. They will be on the auction block today. This was a group of older cows and their calves, along with some other cows that would fit in that game, "Which of these things is not like the other?" They'd lost a calf, hadn't calved yet or didn't fit with the group in some way. He was going to feed them this summer and then sell them in the fall.
But with the heifers and the bull continually getting out, he needed to move the older cows out and put the heifers in their location. Let's hope that works! It's going to be a long summer otherwise.

I have a PCT thru coming up and I'm looking at an option if I get to Canada a bit early. The plan would be to head back south a few miles to the Boundary Trail and take it to Ross Lake and pick up the PNT over Whatcom Pass to SR 542, an additional 90 miles.1) Is that route pretty straight-forward, well marked and actually a trail vs. a lost trail?2) Is 542 a heavily traveled road that would allow me to hitch into Bellingham?3) I have heard that area is very nice. Accurate?Thanks
Edited by gg-man on 05/06/2011 20:07:46 MDT.
I don't know the trail but yes the Mt. Baker Highway is well traveled so getting to Bellingham should be no problem at all. The area is beautiful and there are many hiking opportunities. The small towns of Glacier and Maple Falls near Mt. Baker are sorta hip places to hang out and Bellingham is pretty cool as well.
Terrific area. Beautiful views, really can't go wrong. There is a lot of information at nwhikers.net regarding this area.Here is a trail report of the Ross Lake to Whatcom Pass area.http://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16050&highlight=whatcom+passThe only issue you may encounter is that as you head west, the chance of significant rainfall increases. The PCT jogs a fair distance east as you approach the north of the state - if it were to truly follow the crest, it would likely take along the flanks of Mt. Baker (which in 1999 received in excess of 1,100 inches of snow). So, if you are getting rain (or snow) on the PCT when you are in the North Cascades or Pasayten, on the west side of the cascade range they will be getting a lot more. Just one thing to note, you are not allowed to hike from the Canadian side back into the U.S. - I didn't see anyone out there when I crossed the border a couple of years back, but up here they've reported a change in the rules and that they will be enforcing the rules. Just something to consider, should you hike the 8 or so miles from the border to the nearest lodge. Again, I have no idea how they will enforce this, because I didn't see anyone out there, but perhaps something has changed.Have fun.Dirk
Edited by dirk9827 on 05/16/2011 01:27:31 MDT.
When are you coming? There is still a horrendous amount of snow up there. Instead of peaking and starting to melt April 1 as it normally does, the snowpack has greatly increased in the past 6 weeks. Snow levels in the Pacific NW are still around 3,000 feet, and it's still snowing and avalanching above 5,000 feet. We need a month of hot weather to get back to more normal snow levels!
Mary,I would be arrive at the end of my PCT thru in late August.Sounds like my plan is pretty solid. I also will have real live rain gear for that section of my trip, sounds like it will get some use. Thanks for the link to the trip report.
Even the amount of snow we have should melt by late August!There are two trails from the PCT down to Ross Lake. You can go from Holman Pass to the southern end of Ross Lake, the route of the Pacific Northwest Trail. Or you can take the true Boundary Trail, known locally as the Three Fools Trail, from Castle Pass (just south of the border) to Lightning Camp on Ross Lake. From reports I've seen, this trail is not maintained and a few sections have considerable blowdown. Considering that I see a trip report or two per year, though, it is passable. To get to Whatcom pass, you have to hike back down to the Ross Lake dam either way, unless you arrange for a water taxi from the Ross Lake resort across the lake to Little Beaver landing. nwhikers.net is an excellent source for trip reports. You do need backcountry permits for camping in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area and in North Cascades National Park. Check the NCNP website for details.

Miranda Lambert hosted a dog adoption drive in her hometown of Tishomingo, Oklahoma on Sunday.
The country music star is a long-time supporter of animal charities. She founded the MuttNation foundation in 2009 to end pet suffering and homelessness around the world. Earlier this year, Lambert also partnered with the Pedigree Feeding Project to supply animal shelters with free dog food.
Lambert encouraged residents to visit the Tishomingo Animal Shelter for the adoption drive, where she introduced them to the center's rescue animals. She handed out free refreshments and posted photos of all the dogs who found loving families.
At the end of the event, Lambert proudly announced on Twitter, "Final count… over 40 shelter dogs from Tishomingo found a forever home today! That's somethin' to smile about!"
Husband and fellow country music singer, Blake Shelton, also tweeted, "I hear the dog rescue drive is going great at Tishomingo animal shelter!!! High five mirandalambert!!! I love you…"

Product Description
In A Heart on Fire: Rediscovering Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Rev. James Kubicki, S.J., presents a a persuasive and engaging guide to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, an age-old and often misunderstood Catholic devotion. He delves into the rich theological and spiritual roots of the devotion and demonstrates how the faithful may encounter the Sacred Heart of Jesus in one another, scripture, the sacraments, and especially in the Eucharist.
Fr. Kubicki, the national director of the Apostleship of Prayer, brings to life the rich imagery associated with the devotion's history and provides a contemporary look at traditional devotions like the Twelve Promises, family consecration and enthronement, the Sacred Heart Badge, the Litany of the Sacred Heart, holy hours, and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Alexis Travers couldn't lay off the first pitch she saw in the bottom of the 10th inning, swinging and missing at a riseball from Amy Picciacco, who had allowed just two hits in the game.
Mater Dei coach Jeanne Dickinson, who was imploring her team throughout the game to take pitches up in the zone, called timeout and came in to speak with Travers, telling her to relax and take a level swing.
The next pitch Travers saw ended up in center field after just getting by diving shortstop Caitie Sherbo. Her single drove in two runs and lifted the Seraphs to a 2-1 win against Point Beach in a Class B Central game ...

Honestly, in this day and age, I think his greatest accomplishment is sticking with what he believes in. I can't tell you younger fans how much terrible flak he got for playing all the Fledglings way back when, but he did and said he's not trying to build for tomorrow, he was building for tomorrow's tomorrow, if that makes since. It certainly does now....
Buying Dimitar Berbatov, picking him up from the airport, and then selling the headless chicken Carlos Tevez to make way for the genius Dimitar Berbatov.
Embrace the genius in Berbatov, don't knock it.
He has marvellous in creating a succesful squad after another and I am sure this year will be a memorable year for hum - surpassing Liverpool.
the biggest acheivement he has done is to create world class sides throughout the 24 years he has been a top class manager what a guy
Of course the trophies he won. And the fantastic youth players he brought on the likes of Giggs, Scholes, Beckham etc..Not forgetting the clever signings of fabulous youth players like Rooney, Ronaldo, Hernandez..
he´s just the greatest coach ever! nobody will ever been better then him! Big Boss Sir Alex
Put MUFC as a club that is supported by millions of people globally...loved and believed. That was and is Sir Alex's greatest achievement..as simple as that!
Of course most people will look at trophies which are very important but for me it is how he changed the philosophy of football at the club . The Dave Sexton era saw United play some of the worst and most boring football in its history . Things started to change once Sir Alex took over and the memories of the Sexton era were soon forgotten with United playing some beautiful free flowing football from the early 90s onwards which is now a hallmark of the club.
His greatest achievement was that 1999 champions league final when they won the treble (it can't get any better than that). I'll never forget that day and because of it, Sir Alex deserves the respect of everyone.
To mark Sir Alex Ferguson overtaking Sir Matt Busby as the club's longest-serving boss, we'd like to know your answer to the following question:What has been Sir Alex's greatest achievement as United manager?There are many possibilities of course, and not all of them are about winning trophies. You might, for example, consider the work he did in the early years to overhaul the youth system at United, or the way he has helped the club to grow in stature across the globe.The best and most interesting responses will be published in a Fanzone article on ManUtd.com.

New donation by the Fundación Amigos del Museo del Prado
The Fundación Amigos del Museo del Prado (FAMP) has donated an important work to the Museum by Antonio Joli, a leading Modena-born painter of the 18th century. View of Queen Maria Amalia of Saxony at the Arch of Trajan in Benevento will be on display from today until 26 February at the Museum alongside a small group of paintings from the Prado's collection by the artist and his artistic predecessors. This display will also include a group of etchings, including two loaned from the Biblioteca Histórica of the Universidad Complutense, Madrid. Together, these works will locate Joli's painting in its historical and artistic context.
Friday 11 November 2011
The Museo del Prado today presented this new donation in the form of a small exhibition of twelve works shown alongside View of Queen Maria Amalia of Saxony at the Arch of Trajan in Benevento, an architectural landscape executed in 1759 by the set painter and vedutista Antonio Joli (Modena, 1700 – Naples, 1777). The exhibition includes three paintings by the artist from the Museum's collection as well as various landscapes and views by his predecessors such as Panini and Vanvitelli, a group of etchings, two of them by Piranesi, and a Portrait of Queen Maria Amalia of Saxony by Giuseppe Bonito. Together, these works will enable the visiting public to locate Joli's canvas within the collections of the Prado and to appreciate the distinctive nature of this architectural landscape, which reflects the new intellectual attitude with which Grand Tour travellers of the day approached classical monuments. In addition, the presence in the painting of Queen Maria Amalia and an artist engaged in drawing refers to the importance of patronage for the conservation and dissemination of the art of antiquity.
The three paintings by Joli that are exhibited alongside this new work by the artist that has recently entered the Museum reveal the artist's wide-ranging skills as a landscape painter, given that they combine the descriptive and topographical veduta with a description of historical events, in addition to offering lively records of official acts. Also dating from 1759, two of these panoramic landscapes depict the departure for Spain of the King and Queen of Naples and Sicily, Charles of Bourbon and Maria Amalia of Saxony, in order to assume the Spanish throne following the death of Fernando VI. The third view depicts the abdication of Charles of Bourbon, future Charles III of Spain, in favour of his son Fernando, a work that represents Joli's only known interior scene. In addition, a group of views and architectural landscapes will allow visitors to appreciate the way that Joli moved away from his artistic predecessors. They include a descriptive and topographical view of the Bay of Chiaia, Naples, by Juan Ruiz; an ideal landscape with ruins by Joli's master Giovanni Paolo Panini, which is animated by figures in Roman dress; the poetic landscape of The Grotto at Posillipo by Gaspar Vanvitelli, which reflects Grand Tour travellers' literary perception of the Italian landscape as described, for example, by Virgil; and the type of Sublime veduta developed by Giovanni Battista Piranesi and represented here by two prints from the Biblioteca Histórica of the Universidad Complutense, one of which depicts the Arch of Trajan at Benevento. In addition, there are two prints from the prestigious Le antichità di Ercolano esposte (1757-1792), a publication sponsored by Charles of Bourbon that disseminated the archaeological items excavated at Herculaneum and Pompeii across Europe. The exhibition also includes a portrait by Giuseppe Bonito of Queen Maria Amalia of Saxony. Educated at the court of Dresden, known as the 'Florence of the north' due to its brilliant artistic life, the Queen was renowned for her sophisticated taste in classical antiquities.

Woman with 600 bedrooms to escape bedroom tax
An elderly London woman who lives in social housing accommodation with 600 bedrooms will not have her housing subsidy cut although she has 599 spare bedrooms.
From April social housing tenants will have their housing benefit reduced under the so-called 'bedroom tax' if they have unused bedrooms.
The woman (86), known only as 'Q', lives with her nonagenarian husband and some servants in SW1 and is believed to have other social housing properties.
A spokesman for the woman's local council said she would not be penalized for having 599 spare bedrooms because they were needed as she received frequent visits from her 'disabled useless twat of a son' and his wife.
'Q' was recently seen down at her local post office collecting her Winter Fuel Payment.Click to send this story to a friend

Anne Hathaway gave fans and photographers an eyeful on Monday after accidentally flashing her privates as she arrived at the New York premiere of "Les Miserables."
RELATED: Biggest wardrobe malfunctions of the year
The newlywed was climbing out of her chauffeured car outside New York's Ziegfeld Theatre when the slit in her Tom Ford, gothic black dress revealed she had chosen to attend the screening without underwear.
However, Hathaway appeared to be completely unaware of her wardrobe malfunction and proceeded to walk the red carpet and pose for photos with her co-stars Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Amanda Seyfried.
Hathaway isn't the only female celebrity to have suffered such an embarrassment over the years. Britney Spears famously flashed photographers as she was getting out of a car in 2006, and both Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan have been caught out by the long lens of the paparazzi.

Ideal partner
someone who is into me for me, not hoping me to be something else, or wanting me to change for them. a guy on the more slender side that digs a girl on a little larger side, ya know some cushion for the pushin. a person who is fun to go out drinking and dancing with. someone that is good in bed and that we are equally sexually attracted to each other, if it gets that far. i dont mind playing teacher but there are limits. someone who is sensual and knows what they want and knows how to get it. i dont need to hear i love you or baby this and that, be raw and be real. someone who is not judgemental and thinks for themselves, that is curious and wants to travel. that is willing to put effort into getting to know me :) a guy that goes with the flow, and enjoys life without a pre planned schedule. sexually speaking, I prefer my guy to be dominant, and i do love a fairly rough romp. So, those are pluses. And sometimes, intelligence can be sexy too.
