I can see this happening to me.... I find the perfect pattern for the fabric, but I'm a 1/2 yard short. Or I end up buying 4 yards and have 1-1/2 yards left over. Or worse.
How do you decide how much to buy so you don't waste fabric, or be broken-hearted?
I kinda have an idea of how much fabric I need.
Usually 1 1/2yd is enough for a top and 2yds for a dress. (I'm very petite... 4'11")
So when I shop for fabrics I at least decide if I want to make a top or dress.
I know some patterns call for much more fabric (layered tierred skirt, or something on a bias), and for those patterns I just end up buying a new fabric... Or not make it at all!
I have the GwynHug's How much fabric series. NAYY, but I use the heck out of them. They did the averages and what not. Matter of fact, I need to replace mine since they're starting to show their use.
Using them, I don't have a lot left over, which is a good thing and most of the time enough to make what I want.
For me, it depends on the width of the fabric. I usually purchase 2 yds for tops, regardless of the width, allowing for shrinkage and cutting/sewing mistakes. I'm not purchasing *expensive* fabrics, so I would rather have extra than not enough. I purchase about 2.5-3 yds for pants and 3 - 4 yds (5 yds if it's only 45" wide and a woven) if I fall in love with a fabric, but clueless as to what it may someday become. I purchase fabrics almost exclusively online, so I tend to go with more fabric rather than less, and stock up on the sales as I come across them for making trial garments (muslins) rather than using actual muslin fabric, which doesn't work for knits anyway.
Here are a few links to similar questions regarding how much fabric to purchase, that should be of more help than I am. :)
how much fabric 1
how much fabric 2
how much fabric 3
I usually always buy 2 yds. If it's a bottomweight I'll get 3. If it's a coating weight I get 4.
------Stash: 196 yds. @ 10.18.15
I keep a slip of paper in my wallet for all the various garment fabric needs. I can usually tell what the fabric could be used for.
------"The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem." Theodore Rubin
"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life's about creating yourself." George Bernard Shaw
Dan 9:24-27
Bernina vintage and computerized, Bernina and BL sergers , BLcoverstitch (a stray Pfaff and Viking followed me home too)
I use a combo of all the methods described above.
For tops vs pants vs tee vs dress, I have a general idea of how much fabric I will need and so buy appropriately.
I recently purchased the GywnHug's cards (NAYY) and they are VERY nice & helpful!
And sometimes if I have NO IDEA what I might make of it, I'll buy either just a little or quite a bit depending on how much I love it and the price.
------Brother Innovis 1250D
Babylock Enlighten
Singer Curvy 8763
Brother 1034D
Janome 385.19606
Brother 2340CV
I'm a plus size, so I do 2.5 yds for a top, 3 yds for a bottom, and 5 yds for a dress (I like maxi dresses).
I don't think of the leftovers as waste, because I keep them for another project, eventually: a purse, a tote, an item for my 4-yr-old daughter, etc.
Hadn't heard of GwynHug fabric cards before but what a cool idea!
------"The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." --Abraham Lincoln
Well, I learned something new and just purchased a set of those cards.
In general, I do have an idea of how much I need for certain types of garments, and the type of fabric would determine what type of thing I would make (pants, tee, etc).

|Yes and no, depends on what unit and where. Forrest was Forrest but Wheeler, as one example, got his heiny handed to him a couple times. Greirson's raid, Wilson's Selma campaign etc.
In a lot of ways it was two different wars, the fighting in the East w/ the AoP & ANV then the fighting out west. A whole different environment and a different class of soldiers IMO, on both sides. As an an example compare the fighting around Atlanta to anything in the eastern theatre or the Red River Campaign and Banks Grand Retreat. Or if you want to have a lot of fun follow AJ Smith's Division on a map after they left the AoT. Nobody in the eastern theatre even remotely compares to that kind of marching by "foot cav." And also one cannot overlook the actions against the Native Americans in the "Dakota Uprising."

cant wait for release
Star Wars: Jedi Academy Mapper I have been mapping for Jedi Academy for many years, before that, Elite Force and Quake III. I spend most of my time recreating scenes, locations and areas from all six star wars movies.
Posted by sith-j-cull on Jun 5th, 2011
Hey! So its been a while, I thought a little update was in order. Kamino II and Tatooine are coming along, I will be posting some new screenies and videos soon.
Kamino II:
Originally the idea was to update my first version of Kamino, however it came clear very quickly that my mapping ability had improved considerable since I made the first version of Kamino and all I was doing was remaking each section again, as I was never happy with the first version brush work etc. In the end I decided that a complete remake was in order. The map now has new textures, new hallways and rooms, and a completely new skybox and ocean, screenshots and videos up soon.
My new Tatooine map will has a small version of Mos Eisely complete with the Cantina and the homestead out in the desert, the area is of course based heavily on Star Wars a New Hope and I have spent a LONG time making textures whilst having the HD movie paused on screen...
I hope to use moddb more often now.. not sure what is going on with Jediknight files so it looks like for now my releases will be around here!
cant wait for release
Cheers bud, its a busy time for me at work- what with the last few weeks of the academic year coming up I have go a LOT of computer learners to get through to achievement however once August gets here I am working on these maps to get them released!

From the archives: Gandhi's letter to Hitler
Friday, August 12, 2011
Over a month before the outbreak of WW2, Mahatma Gandhi writes his "dear friend" Adolf Hitler.
I'm disappointed Gandhi would send a letter to any world leader without proofreading it for typos first.
@June 1st poster - Gandhi was a simple man of simple means. He wrote from the heart to appeal to the heart and mind.
Gandhi was a fool
Yes, Ghandi was a fool. Because he didn't realize that the Jews are the devil.

Blame Sally (with Salt Lake native) headlines The State Room Saturday
The San Francisco acoustic-driven band Blame Sally is a quartet of accomplished female singer-songwriters one of whom is Salt Lake City native Monica Pasqual, whose father was once head of the Utah Arts Council and whose mother is the famed Utah artist, painter and sculptor Pilar Pobil.
Pasqual moved to the Bay Area to seek fortune and fame as a solo singer-songwriter, but has found unanticipated success with Blame Sally, which she calls "a product of my soul."
She added: "I never tour as solo artist [anymore]. Blame Sally has been the main priority for quite a while."
Pasqual still writes and records solo albums during her rare time off, and it was no small surprise to her fans that she and Blame Sally were each nominated for multiple awards at the 2012 Independent Music Awards.
She called her solo output and Blame Sally "two different expressions."
The talented local singer-songwriter Kate MacLeod opens.

Why manage your collection and wanted list
Know what you have and what you want.
If you have 100 action figures, you likely have thousands of dollars invested in your toys. You collect for the fun of it, but it's also a significant chunk of cash. By simply clicking "I've Got It" in DASH, you can keep track of your collection. Understand its value. Know what's hot (and not).
Plus, by keeping track of your Wanted List too, you are less likely to buy something you don't need. Or, you can do quick research to be sure you don't pass up on a great deal.
It is fun.
With your collection and Wanted list recorded, it is easier to share with your fellow collectors.
Bring up your collection on any web browser, or sync to your mobile phone. Click on the Facebook and other links to share with your friends.
Even printout your Wanted List and give to your parents around your birthday or holidays!
Life gets easier.
DASH helps you compare what you have in a series, with what you need in that series.
It helps you know when figures are for sale. When you buy one, it is automatically moved into your collection, along with its pictures, cost and date of acquisition.
DASH helps you see what figures are highly rated by your peers, and which ones are wanted and collected by others.
Collecting is fun, but managing your collection doesn't have to suck.
How to manage your collection
It's free and take about a minute or two. We have to know who "you" are to make it "your collection" after all!
Find your figures.
Click on the Catalog tab. Either browse by Brand/Series or search to find the figures you own.
Click the "Add to My Collection" link in the "I've Got It" column. (Note for advanced users: if you have two of one figure, click the button twice!)
Enjoy the slight adrenaline rush, knowing that's all there is to it.
Add details and photos.
Click on the My Collection tab. Look familiar? By clicking on the name of each figure, you can specify if yours is loose or in package. You can assign it a grade, jot down its condition and other collector-specific info. Upload photos of your own figures if you want.
If you ever want to sell a figure, you can add a price and click the For Sale button too, but that's covered in the how to "Sell Your Stuff" section.
How to manage your wanted list
Reread the section on how to manage your collection and replace the "Add to My Collection" button with the "Add to Wanted List" button.
How that is useful.
By default, DASH enables Marketplace Alerts for your Wanted items. If a new item matching this DASH ID is listed for sale, you'll get a notification. If an existing listing is reduced in price, you'll get an alert too.
You can turn on/off alerts for specific items in your Wanted List. You can also change your default for Marketplace Alerts in your Account settings.
How that is useful, continued.
DASH uses the Wanted List to tailor itself to your interests. We also share this information (anonymously) with the toy industry to help them stay on track in making the stories and products the collecting community wants.

The Montgomery Advertiser has published that they have received allegations of grades being changed without justification within the Montgomery Public Schools. We have not been provided any substantiating evidence of this allegation and certainly have no knowledge of such. However, the board, administration and the public need to know if there is any validity to these allegations.
Academic integrity is critical to the teaching and learning process. MPS does not condone grade-changing without cause. I am confident that we have dedicated teachers who work hard every day to teach students and they do so with the utmost integrity.
I am asking the board to appoint an independent investigator to look into the allegations of grades being changed without justification or following procedures. The independent investigator I am recommending is John Mulligan. He is a retired FBI investigator, who has also worked with the State Attorney Generals Office in the white collar crime division for many years. He is highly respected. He was recommended by our attorney. Mr. Mulligan has a reputation as a tough and fair investigator.
I have also asked the Alabama Department of Education to conduct a separate investigation to ensure there is no doubt that every accusation is explored. They also have the ability to affect the certification of a staff member should any misconduct be found. We want to assure our parents and the community that this process will be transparent and handled professionally.
There are over 2,000 teachers in the Montgomery County school system. Most are professionals who teach because they love children and want them to learn and earn their diplomas. They follow the rules and work tirelessly to help students succeed. It is disheartening that the actions of a small number of teachers, who by their own admission to a Montgomery Advertiser reporter seem to have exhibited unprofessional, unsanctioned and unwarranted conduct in changing grades.
When this was first brought to our attention by a Montgomery Advertiser reporter, we were presented with vague implications. We asked for more specific information from the Advertiser so we could properly investigate the claims. They refused to provide the information including the names of teachers and students who made accusations of improperly changing grades except for the name of one teacher.
We have more safeguards in place than ever before to ensure student success. For example, Response to Instruction (RtI) is a framework designed to help students before they fail. At-risk and struggling students are given tutoring, remediation and mentoring to help keep them from failing. With technology, our principals, graduation coaches, curriculum specialists, and zone team members can easily monitor grades and identify students that are falling behind. The credit and grade recovery programs are state-approved options for students to earn improved grades and recover credits.
Two years ago, MPS purchased an instructional computer program to help students by providing lessons, practice tests and other tools to give students more than one opportunity to master core concepts. The system is administered by a certified teacher. The highest grade a student can earn in this program after failing their original course is a 70.
INOW, the state mandated student records system, tracks changes in grades. Teachers are responsible for posting accurate grades. If someone alleges a problem with a grade change, and we have the students name, records can be accessed to see who made the change and follow up to ensure the proper procedures were followed.
While we are waiting for the completion of the independent investigations, we will carefully review our policies and procedures for clarity, succinctness and accountability. Our principals will be directed to communicate our high expectations for staff to follow our outlined protocol.
We are very concerned with the allegations reported by the Advertiser. I am confident the two independent inquiries will reveal the facts and that appropriate actions will be taken if needed.
Despite the negative allegations, this is a win-win for our school system. I am confident the vast majority of our employees are dedicated teachers for all the right reasons. They follow the rules and work tirelessly to make students successful. If we find someone is improperly changing grades, we will correct that practice and address the misconduct. Our priority now is to ensure that our system is transparent, our staff is accountable and our students are learning.
Barbara W. Thompson is superintendent of Montgomery Public Schools.

A dejected Detroit Lions defense on the bench after giving up a touchdown to the Tennessee Titans during fourth-quarter action September 23, 2012 at LP Field in Nashville. / Kirthmon F. Dozier / DFP
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Shaun Hill said "there was a miscommunication" and "I'll take full responsibility for that." Jim Schwartz said "that was a miscommunication" and "that's my fault." Mikel Lehsoure said, "Aw, man, it's just ... things happen."
Things happen. There's your marquee. One of the craziest, wildest, most poorly officiated Sunday afternoons in years, a game of huge plays, massive gains and spectacular accidents, came down, in the end, to a tiny fourth-and-1 in overtime that actually went backward -- and apparently wasn't supposed to take place at all.
Instead of trying a game-tying field goal, Schwartz sent Hill to the Titans' 7 -- "we were trying to draw them offsides," the coach explained -- and Hill either called for the snap or was surprised by the snap or who knows, maybe a leprechaun jumped in there, whatever the case, Hill tried to surge forward, was dragged backward, and the game ended -- with Schwartz, the Lions players and what was left of the crowd wondering what they just had witnessed in Tennessee's 44-41 victory.
"That was a miscommunication, that's as clear as I'm going to get," Schwartz said. Which is a fittingly muddled statement for this one.
Right up there with "things happen."
And on Sunday, what didn't happen?
• Lions-Titans box score | Full NFL scoreboard
Stafford injured again, but ...
Here was a game that was in each team's grasp, then came loose or was pried loose or was swatted loose or smacked loose, a game finally tied by a Hail Mary touchdown in the last second of regulation -- the kind of play that never works, except it worked.
But even before Titus Young saw that 46-yard heave swatted away and coming into his grasp, even before he dove for it and fell into the end zone and the Lions went crazy -- 41-41! -- even before all that, this Sunday already had witnessed: a lateraled punt returned for a touchdown, a kickoff returned 105 yards for a touchdown, a stripped fumble returned for a touchdown and a reception stolen off the back of a Lion for a touchdown.
It had seen Matthew Stafford chasing a tackle and pulling up lame; punter Ben Graham chasing a tackle and pulling up lame; Jason Hanson doing two jobs; and Leshoure gaining 100 yards in his first real day of NFL work.
Big plays? Most games, if there's one 60-yard adventure, it's the big highlight. Tennessee had five plays of more than 60 yards alone! The Lions scored 18 unanswered points, then the Titans scored 21 unanswered, then the Lions scored two touchdowns in 18 seconds, thanks to an onsides kick and Hill's Hail Mary to Young.
Wait. Did we say Hill? Yes. Because Stafford pulled something in his leg -- "I don't know what yet, I have to get an MRI," he said later -- and normally, losing your star quarterback is the ONLY story of a game.
Except when you're playing a Russian novel.
"I've been around a lot of crazy games, I don't know if I've ever been around one like that," Schwartz admitted.
And I'm just giving you the highlights here, folks. I can't tell you the whole thing. We have to conserve paper.
Going the wrong way, but ...
I will say this. Amid the spectacular plays and the terrible officiating. (If this wasn't a howl to settle the labor dispute, nothing is; the replacement referees actually screwed up 12 yards on a critical placement, eventually handing the Titans a 26-yard field goal try in OT instead of a 38-yarder, with a kicker who already had missed twice. This one, he made. Who knows if he'd have made the longer one?) Still, for all that noise, the Lions did not deserve to win. Not playing as badly as they did.
Too many dropped balls. Too many penalties. And where is the ballyhooed pass rush? In 68-plus minutes, Detroit registered one quarterback hit. One. Not a sack, mind you. A hit. Jake Locker had so much time back there, he coined a new nickname: "The No Hurt Locker."
"It's what we have to do, it's what we need to do, it's what we're expected to do," said end Kyle Vanden Bosch of the lack of pressure. It's what they didn't do Sunday.
Instead the defense committed four offsides penalties. That's going the wrong way. Which on the final play, is what killed the Lions' final hopes. That fast snap never should have finished it. But a backup quarterback, overtime, a crazy day. And as Leshoure said, things happen.
Schwartz was right to take the blame. Hill was big to do so. And they could all be protecting Dominic Raiola, the center. Who knows or cares at this point? The bottom line remains: After three games, the Lions have a losing record at 1-2, and this was one they should have had.
The most commonly heard phrase over the PA system Sunday was: "The previous play is under review."
For the Lions, that applies to Sunday -- now, and for some restless nights to come.

What To Do With Surplus Mardi Gras Beads
Mardi Gras season is just about here, that means it's time to figure out what to do with all of the old Mardi Gras beads that you have stockpiled!
Yes, I'm talking to you people who have the boxes stacked high in the attic or overflowing in the basement.
You could throw them out, but with thousands of tons of Mardi Gras beads being thrown every year in New Orleans, can you imagine how much space that would take up in a landfill? There's many other options that are more environmentally friendly, that can beautify your home or even help make the world a better place.
Recycle Those Mardi Gras Beads
Arc of Greater New Orleans, a non-profit organization that provides services for children and adults with intellectual disabilities collects Mardi Gras beads and recycles them. The beads are sorted, cleaned and re-sold to Krewes and others to raise money for the group.
You can bring your unwanted Mardi Gras beads to a number of locations across the New Orleans area including Arc locations, many New Orleans Public Libraries and a number of other places. They'll take care of the rest. Visit the Arc website for current information about their recycling program.
Get Crafty With Your Mardi Gras Beads
If you're one of those people who love Pinterest and doing crafts, you may want to try your hand at re-using the beads in your next project. I've seen beads transformed into everything from framed wall art to lampshades. Search online, there are a number of guides to help you along the way. Who knows, it may even turn into a side business for you. I've spotted a number of these bead projects popping up for sale on Etsy.
Donate The Extra Beads
Speaking of arts and crafts, many schools collect the beads for art class projects. Other schools may collect beads to donate to groups like the Arc. Check with your neighborhood school to see if they could use your surplus beads.
During The Upcoming Mardi Gras Season
This year instead of just bringing home a dozen bags of beads that will just go towards cluttering your house or you'll eventually throw away, you can recycle the unwanted throws before you even leave the parade route.
After some parades, Arc will be collecting beads to be recycled with their catch and release float. It's an unmanned float towed along at the end of the processions, allowing parade-goers to throw their extra beads back.
Along some parade routes, the ARC places purple and gold recycling bins for your extra throws. They'll even collect your plastic and aluminum.
So what are you planning to do with your unwanted beads? Make plans now, Mardi Gras is almost hear again!

Reilly Smith, formerly of the Dallas Stars, shines early for Boston Bruins
BOSTON — Bruins winger Reilly Smith also was included in the seven-player deal in July that sent Tyler Seguin, Rich Peverley and Ryan Button to the Stars in exchange for Eriksson, Smith, Matt Fraser and Joe Morrow. Smith has jumped into the Bruins lineup and has seven points (one goal, six assists).
Smith, 22, was the Stars' third-round pick in 2009 (69th overall) and played 40 games for the Stars.
Smith is grateful for the opportunity to play with Bergeron and Brad Marchand and Eriksson.
"They make your game better," Smith said. "I'm just trying to play as simple as possible, but when you get a couple of extra minutes and you get to play with creative players, the opportunity to score definitely goes up."

A vintage 2011-type performance from Aaron Rodgers and his offense lifted the Green Bay Packers out of an early season hole.
As Press-Gazette reporter Pete Dougherty wrote in the wake of the Packers 42-24 win over the previously undefeated Houston Texans on Sunday, Rodgers made several plays outside the pocket, put a key deep throw on the money and tied the franchise record of six touchdown passes to give the Packers a much-needed win at Reliant Stadium.
Aaron was on fire, coach Mike McCarthy said. He did a great job putting the ball where it needed to be. I thought the biggest play of the game was the first third down, took a shot to Jordy Nelson (for a 41-yard touchdown). (Rodgers) played with some bumps and bruises in the second half. Clearly one of his better performances as a Packer.

I dealt with it by clearly defining what our customers expected of us. That way, I was able to manage expectations.
In your case, I would consider creating some policy guide that you will attempt to update your trainers within 14 days of a new patch, or whatever you generally try to do. Then your customers will have a better idea of what to expect from you.
While I understand your frustration, I encourage you to consider deleting this post. Non members and potential customers may read this, and you do not want to dissuade them from joining your site.
Overall, I greatly enjoy your website, and I feel it was an excellent purchase. Thank you for your good work and best luck in the future.

Hi there CH staff,
please consider the fact that the gaming world, sadly, also include little kids with no regards or understanding of whats involved in 3 men producing this amount of trainers on such a short notice (and yes! in my book you are faster than i believed could be done)
your work is very much appreciated and please do not be discouraged by some ranting kids who don't understand what it is to sacrifice your time, and yes even quality time with your wives or children, to produce these trainers... they wont understand and i don't expect them to... i would simply ignore them
again, keep up the good work, and raise your heads up! you've achieved a great feat which is this website, and you indeed deserve every penny you've made in the process, you actually deserve more, so kudos to you, and of course, thanks!

History of Ruskin women spotlighted
That spotlight began shining first this week at the Tampa Bay History Center in Channelside, as the three-panel exhibit of artifacts went up, tracing Ruskin's very early years forward to the present.
By MELODY JAMESON
RUSKIN – "We are not thinking as much New Thought as we think we are. It is all old. People have thought it before. Again. And again. And again."
These are the words of Harriet E. Orcutt, journalist, novelist, teacher, campaigner for women's and worker's rights, pioneer, organization officer, land owner, Ruskin's first librarian – and, clearly, something of a philosopher.
She never married; her passions were words, truth, books. She cared deeply about the fledgling community on the eastern shore of Tampa Bay and gave freely of her many talents.
And she's one of the many women who contributed through the years to build the community of today. They're all being recognized this month, in the spotlight, at three different venues.
That spotlight began shining first this week at the Tampa Bay History Center in Channelside, as the three-panel exhibit of artifacts went up, tracing Ruskin's very early years forward to the present.
Produced by The Ruskin History Project, Inc., this display on the center's second floor tells the Ruskin story through photographs, narratives and rare objects, from the days pre-historic peoples and strange magnificent animals roamed its forests to its turn of the century roots as a cooperative organized on the principles of John Ruskin and centered with the first Ruskin College through the mid century when farming and agricultural ingenuity flourished, when The Coffee Cup restaurant drew visitors from great distances to its present prized for easy living without metropolitan congestion.
The hand-operated meat grinder patented in 1803 that was used regularly in The Coffee Cup to produce fresh hamburger and the antique Victrola which provided music for young students to dance by on the third floor of the college president's house and the books handled by pioneering forefathers – they're all here enticing visitors back a century or more.
The historical exhibit is bookended by two of the community's groundbreaking journalists — Orcutt at its recorded beginnings and Aleta "Jonie" Maschek who has recorded much of its history known today.
Orcutt covered the Chicago World's Fair, was published in scores of periodicals and wrote at least three novels before arriving in Ruskin before the first decade of the 20th century had ended.
By 1911, she had joined Ruskin's Commongood Society, subsequently would serve as its secretary and then president, and would be a charter member of the 20th Century Club from which the Ruskin Woman's Club would grow.
Maschek began her career in 1949 when female journalists were not particularly welcome in newsrooms. She worked in early television in Seattle and then in Chicago and ultimately in New York before making her way to Tampa where she was a producer for WFLA, the NBC affiliate. She recalls interviewing both Presidents Carter and Reagan, as well as Astronaut Buzz Aldrin and actor Vincent Price.
She arrived in Ruskin with her husband, Matthew, in the late 1970s and soon began to chronicle the area's history through the eyes of settlers' descendants, first in the pages of The Shopper Observer News and then by compiling those reports in book form. At last count, she had created nine volumes opening windows on the past.
Through her years in Ruskin, she has been involved in many community endeavors, has operated two clothing boutiques, and been crowned Tomato Festival Queen.
Now nearing her 90th birthday, Maschek still writes a fishing column each week for The Observer News.
The Tampa Bay History Center exhibit will remain in place through the month of April, according to Mac Miller, an organizer of the Ruskin History Project.
A second venue earmarked for spotlighting Ruskin's outstanding women will be the local library on Sunday (April 15). From 1 to 4 p.m. that day, the Tampa -Hillsborough County Public Library System will be staging one of its "road shows" commemorating the facility, its keepers and its founders as it looks ahead to a milestone. Come 2014, the library network will celebrate its centennial, with the Ruskin Branch Library in the vanguard as one of the oldest in the system, according to Jennifer Dietz, a senior librarian managing the system's historical observances.
In preparation, specialists will be on hand Sunday afternoon to video or audio tape all library-related recollections of local residents, Dietz said. "If someone remembers a story hour as a child or discovered a book at the library that impacted a life or met someone special at the library, we'd like to hear the story," she added.
County library personnel also will be scanning any documents related to the library's history which local citizens may have in their possession for saving in its archives, the librarian noted. The scanning process does not harm the documents which are returned immediately to owners.
In addition, a selection of about 20 Burgert Brothers photographs will be on display in the library during the afternoon. Burgert photos, taken by the Tampa professional photographers around the city and its environs through the early 20th century have graced calendars, exhibits and edifices across the region.
And portions of the Ruskin Woman's Club exhibit which was hung in the Tampa Bay History Center last month are to be displayed at the library on Sunday, The RWC panels presented at TBHC in March also traced the club's 100 year history with photos, narratives and artifacts.
The current Ruskin library building, dedicated in 1966, is a direct outgrowth of the first library cobbled together in Ruskin by Orcutt a century ago.
Light refreshments will be available, courtesy of Friends of the Library.
A third commemoration of Ruskin's women and their achievements is slated for Saturday, April 21, inside and around the historic structure that now is the RWC clubhouse as the organization celebrates its 100th anniversary.
The three-story home with architectural touches reminiscent of a Swiss Chalet and located on the west side of U.S. 41 just south of the Ruskin Inlet is the only original building that survived the 1918 fire that destroyed the first Ruskin College campus. It was the home of Dr. George McA. Miller and his wife, Adaline Dickman Miller, as they worked to build the commongood society membership and college student body.
At the same time, the genesis of the contemporary woman's group – the 20th Century Club – was developing, becoming a backbone of the community through the first world war and the subsequent depression. In 1940, Mrs. Miller's family deeded the home to the Ruskin Woman's Club that had evolved from the former organization.
From its initial formation by Orcutt, through the years, Ruskin women sheltered and guided and grew their local library. Books were housed variously in the home of Aurora Edwards, an early pioneer, in the Miller house and in a little chamber of commerce office, before the first permanent library was established in the mid-1920s.
And, on April 21, members of the RWC, many in period dress, will celebrate it all during a public reception between 10 AM and 4 PM. Portions of the elaborate RWC centennial exhibit designed and coordinated by Dr. Tina Trent leading a team of five members will be displayed inside their clubhouse. And activities for children as well as their parents are being planned on the grounds, according to Betty Jo Council, an RWC officer. Light refreshments also are planned.
Orcutt well might be astounded if she could see the results of her labors today. It might even trigger her wry sense of humor which was unleashed at one point as she lamented the loss of a barrel full of books in the inlet. Surely, it was for the instruction of the fish, she suggested, adding meaningfully " that is why they are so hard to catch!"

EU slaps initial sanctions on RussiaComment on this story
Brussels - The European Union suspended talks with Russia on a wide-ranging economic pact and on a visa deal Thursday, punishing Moscow for its military incursion into the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine.
EU leaders made the announcement at an emergency summit and threatened further sanctions if Russia does not quickly engage in talks to end the crisis.
The move in Brussels came on the heels of sanctions by the Obama administration in Washington, D.C., which imposed visa restrictions on pro-Russian opponents of the new Ukrainian government in Kiev, also clearing the way for financial sanctions.
The sanctions on both side of the Atlantic aimed to rein in Europe's gravest geopolitical crisis in a generation.
Van Rompuy called the Ukraine crisis the "most serious challenge to security on our continent since the Balkan wars" of the 1990s.
The EU put on ice talks on a wide-ranging economic agreement and on granting Russian citizens visa-free travel within the 28-nation bloc, a goal that Moscow has been pursuing for years.
The decision followed tough negotiations between member states divided over how to react to the Russian aggression.
"Not everyone will be satisfied with the decision but I should say that we did much more together than one could have expected several hours ago," said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
He stressed that further sanctions will kick in in the coming days unless Russia stops its "aggressive steps" on the Crimean peninsula and engages in a meaningful dialogue to defuse the crisis.
Tusk said there was "no enthusiasm" in Europe on sanctioning Russia, but he called the moves inevitable given the country's blatant violation of international rights by its actions in Crimea.

text: If the wellspring of praise showered here upon Stagg and OF Birthday are any indication, we may--some not so many years down the road--mark the fall of 2002 as the beginning of a paradigm shift in the craft bourbon industry. Just think how far things have come since Blanton's was first shared with us all. Let us all hope that the wild success of these great limited edition bottlings from the Fall of 2002 will hasten the introduction of many more bourbons of such quality, subtlety, and distinction in the years to come. Bring 'em on, I say!

Press Release
December 15, 2003
Through the Agency's investigation, it was discovered that John Gross Trucking & Excavating, Inc., in the course of doing business, accumulated waste oil mixed with water and poured it onto a large stump and wood debris pile and set it on fire. This resulted in the following violations: release of hazardous material onto the land, failing to report the release, open burning of unpermitted material, and illegal disposal of solid waste outside a certified facility.
The matter came to light as a result of a citizen complaint about waste oil burning in a sandpit located off Rt. 14a in Roxbury. Environmental Enforcement Officer Sean McVeigh investigated the matter. After his investigation was completed, John Gross Trucking & Excavating, Inc. was notified of the violations and agreed to settle the matter. The company also made arrangements to properly store and dispose of the waste oil in the future.
The settlement was reduced to an Assurance of Discontinuance and was so ordered by the Environmental Court on December 5, 2003. In it, John Gross Trucking & Excavating, Inc. agreed to pay a civil penalty of $2,800.

- When the Crossroads Rhode Island social services agency switched to a 401(k) retirement plan from a pension last year, it added a feature that made some employees apprehensive.

iCEnhancer ========== is a creation of IcE La GlacE using a modification of ENBSeries from Boris Vorontsov (Boris website : http://enbdev.com) It works perfectly on 18.104.22.168 / 18.104.22.168 / 220.127.116.11 GTA 4 PATCH It works but without all the effects because of using ENB 0082 version on 184.108.40.206/126.96.36.199 PATCH
This package contains community effects and others.
This version uses the 0.082 DLL as a base Which means :
Overheating of videocards NVidia GF8800, high end from GF2xx series and most from GF4xx, GF5xx
Be careful.
No one is responsible if you have any hardware problems. Just try to avoid overheating using a better fan. But normally, it'll work fine.

Were you focused on the job on Thursday? A whopping 86 percent of workers are caught up in the NCAA basketball tournament. But that can really cut into the bottom line, which is why March Madness is enough to make the boss lose his wits.
Millions of people are at work, but their heads are in the game.
"With the upcoming events, a lot of people are spending their break time, lunch times scoping out the Internet; they're checking out what's going on with the game situation-scores, who's doing what, when, what time-that sort of thing. So instead of going out and enjoying this weather, a lot of individuals are sitting at their computers," worker Janet Feikema said.
But it's more than just breaks. According to a recent survey on the subject, more than half of those responding plan to spend at least one hour of their work day watching the basketball games and following scores, while six percent will take Thursday and Friday off. And these days, you don't even have to be near a TV to watch the games.
"I think the internet makes watching games and staying up on them a lot easier to do at the office. People will learn the short cut to switch between screens and I will watch some; I will lose some productivity," worker Andy Traub said.
Workers actually lose a lot of productively. One study estimates companies lose $175 million over the first two days of the NCAA tournament. That translates into employee pay for workers who aren't actually working.
"It absolutely could. It absolutely could. In their down time, instead of doing some functions between phone calls, they might be scoping out the internet checking out the score," Feikema said.
And even those workers on the go can find a way to stay connected to the games.
"The best thing with technology nowadays is your phone so I have an ESPN app on my phone, so I'll be keeping up with that. With my job, the way I travel, I'm never close to a TV anyway, so I use it as much as I can," worker Ryan Renz said.
About 2.5 million unique visitors log on to check out March Madness coverage online during the work day, with each visitor spending about 90 minutes watching games.

The annual Christmas Parade has always been a favorite in Mountain Home.
- Filed Under
It's Christmas morning here in the Ozarks, and around the world. If the dusting of snow hasn't melted from Christmas Eve, it's a white Christmas, a bit of a rarity here in the hills. And if it has gone away, well, we got awfully close to a white Christmas.
When you read this, odds are your family's already torn into the packages under the tree, wrapping paper, ribbons and bows are scattered everywhere. The youngsters in your household are playing with their new toys and games, which these days can include cell phones and an array of video games. You've settled back with a cup of coffee, relaxing in your new house shoes or robe, and reading the paper (maybe even on a new tablet).
Later, you'll gather around the table for the Christmas meal and give thanks for everyone being together once more, and you'll offer respects for any who aren't there this year. Afterwords, there will be more fellowship, more playing with the toys and trying out new gadgets, maybe watching a game on TV, or the umpteenth showing of "A Christmas Story." Some will feel energetic and go outside to play.
Then, this evening when things have settled down, it will be a good time to reflect on the day. It will be a chance to let today's new memories soak in and join memories of Christmases past. Those old memories will come to the surface as you recall the particularly special Christmases - the first Christmas as a couple, the first Christmas as a parent, the first Christmas as a grandparent, the first Christmas you can remember, and, of course, the best Christmas that will stay with you forever.
And, finally, it will be back to bed, knowing that it's been a good day.
For so many of us, that's a typical Christmas day, whether in the Ozarks or almost anywhere in the world. It's such a peaceful climax to the frenzied period of shopping and baking and getting prepared to celebrate. Sometimes, in all that chaos leading to today, we may not take enough time to truly appreciate Christmas and what it's all about. There's much more to it than gifts under a tree and egg nog.
Christmas means so many things to so many different people. No matter how you celebrate it, however, the heart and meaning of the holiday is the same. This is a day of new beginnings for each of us and for the world. Whether you celebrate it as a religious holiday or lean more toward the secular aspects, a new beginning is the key to Christmas. Next week begins the new year, but today we have the opportunity to begin new lives, to renew our spirits.
In the secular realm, many of the trappings and traditions borrowed for Christmas are rich in the symbolism of renewal, of new life, of new hope. For Christians, Christmas marks the birth of Jesus, who brought the gift of salvation, the gift of new life and new hope for all who believe. It doesn't matter if we swap gifts among ourselves, or decorate our homes, the reason for the season, the meaning of Christmas remains.
On this special day, let's enjoy the fellowship of family and friends, let us remember those who cannot be with us, and let us celebrate this day of renewal and hope.

ANC supports New Age breakfastsComment on this story
Johannesburg - The African National Congress on Wednesday said it supported the role played by The New Age (TNA) business breakfast sessions.
"The New Age/SABC breakfast sessions are an innovative and important private initiative in strengthening our democracy by ensuring an informed citizenry," spokesman Jackson Mthembu said in a statement.
"The African National Congress is encouraged and fully supports the role of The New Age and SABC breakfast sessions in providing an unmediated and uncensored platform for public engagement by government, public sector entities and other entities... informing and accessing millions of South Africans instantly."
The fact that TNA could reach millions of people seemed to be the Democratic Alliance's gripe, said Mthembu.
The past week has seen TNA and DA leader Helen Zille clashing head on.
Last week, Zille pulled out of a business breakfast, saying she did not know it was sponsored using public funds.
City Press reported that some of the biggest state-owned companies were paying millions to bankroll the breakfasts, hosted by the Gupta family.
The newspaper responded by uploading a video of Zille thanking Telkom for sponsoring a TNA breakfast she attended.
Zille on Wednesday said TNA heavyweights tried to dissuade the DA from asking parliamentary questions on the paper's funding.
The newspaper denied the claim.
Zille said she had written to President Jacob Zuma asking for a commission of inquiry to be appointed to probe the funding of the newspaper.
Mthembu said the DA was against informed citizenry and the public entities that kept them informed.
"We (ANC) also want to acknowledge the role played by state owned entities in ensuring that a constant and predictable platform exists to showcase government work, and to facilitate a process that will ensure that the public is informed continuously."
He said the DA had also used the same platform to communicate with the public.
"She (Zille) has embarked on a campaign against The New Age to divert attention from her lies."
Mthembu also denied that the newspaper was a conduit to raise money for the ANC.
"There has been no underhand or secret sponsorship for the TNA/SABC breakfast sessions, nor has there been secret ads by government departments on TNA. These were openly reported on in the South African Parliament," he said. - Sapa

A WHILE back in this space, I expressed sympathy for fellow Variety columnist Arnold 'Dave' Davis. By filing a suit challenging the Guam plebiscite-to-be, I am sure that Mr. Davis views himself as being on the side of the angels, even if his legal advisor in Virginia – the Center for Individual Rights, or CIR – seems more interested in playing the race card against the Obama Administration Justice Department in this contentious election year. I described CIR then as "narrowly focused on undoing any government remedies intended to compensate for past discrimination against minorities. And yes, that would include Chamorros and Micronesians."
My sympathy was based on the thought that the real motive for CIR paying Mr. Davis' legal bills for his suit might be slightly less noble than presented in his columns, and the media and not exactly what he intended.
Now comes Guam attorney Mun Su Park informing me and 48 other Guam citizens, including Gov. Calvo, that we must submit to depositions intended to help him build his case that the proposed political status plebiscite reflects improper or illegal racial elements discriminating against Mr. Davis, who wasn't allowed to add his name to the Chamorro Registry.
In my case, Atty. Park believes I'm harboring evidence "regarding racial intent, specific legislative actions including those that pertain to racial intent and racially discriminatory effects, racial appeals, and statements of elected officials, campaigns and elections in Guam."
Before we sit down for the depo, a few thoughts.
First, back in 1950, the original Organic Act approved by the U.S. Congress had a couple of preferences for the "native inhabitants of Guam." These were for educational opportunities and civil service positions, but they were removed in 1968 in an apparent tradeoff allowing for local election of the governor of Guam.
In 1977, I was elected to be a member of the Guam Constitutional Convention. We drafted a constitution for our island and one provision was for recognition of indigenous fishing rights. It said, "To redress past discrimination and provide equal opportunity for the Chamorro people, special rights for Chamorros to off-shore fishing, and harvesting of resources may be provided by law."
President Carter and the U.S. Congress approved this draft Constitution of Guam, including this fishing provision. They had no problem with the special rights provision for Chamorros, but we never adopted the Constitution.
My 2009 bill recognizing indigenous fishing rights used the current Guam Code definition of Native Inhabitants of Guam as "those persons who became U.S. citizens by virtue of the authority and enactment of the 1950 Organic Act of Guam and descendants of those persons." This definition is date-based, not racially or ethnically based.
The recent history of this issue is accessible to Mr. Park and other interested parties. If there's a smoking gun, it has escaped me.
The political status plebiscite that Mr. Davis doesn't like uses this same Organic Act definition for those qualified to vote in the plebiscite. It – again – is date-based, not a racial or ethnic-based definition. This point is key. It therefore passes the Organic Act and Constitutional screening test.
Since the beginning of the Decolonization Commission, which is to oversee the plebiscite, I have been a member of the Statehood Task Force of that commission and have advocated for statehood being the most beneficial status for all the people of Guam, both the indigenous and non-indigenous people. I am confident that this political status will be the preferred option by both groups, those fitting the legal definition of "native inhabitant," and the non-indigenous people of Guam.
We'll save any other questions for the deposition.

Lyrics and a melody cue are also included. Just listen to the CD to hear how the guitar should sound, and then play along using the separate backing tracks. The audio CD works on any CD player.
