I once asked a friend — a food writer who'll eat practically anything — if there are any foods he doesn't like. He thought for a minute. Like a full minute. Said: "Well … I guess I don't like foods with a lot of sauce on them."
I'm totally jealous. Reading Tracy's post about processed foods made me think about all of the ways I'm a super-lame eater. For instance: I hate cheese. (I was telling Goose and Kristi about this on Facebook this weekend.) And I don't hate all cheese. I just hate cheese that matters. Cheese that gets people excited. Smelly cheeses that come out of sheep udders. The stuff that smells like feet and supposedly tastes delicious (but that makes no sensory sense to me!!). So what I like to eat is fake cheese: Polly-O string cheese. Pizza, of course, but hold the pecorino. And get this: I like Parmesan but only the Kraft kind that comes in the green plastic "bottle" things. I know this is all a cheesy illusion.
Twisted, right?
What foods do you dislike? Have you ever tried to make yourself like a food? I once declared at a New Year's Eve party that my resolution was going to be to force myself to like cheese. At midnight, a friend crammed a chunk of asiago in my mouth and I almost died from the horror. … FYI. TMI? FTW.

Canada's National Women's Open Championship set for August 20-26 at The
Vancouver Golf Club
VANCOUVER, Feb. 28, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - CN (TSX: CNR) (NYSE: CNI) and
Golf Canada announced today that BC Children's Hospital Foundation has
been selected as the official beneficiary of the CN Miracle Match
campaign to be held during the 2012 CN Canadian Women's Open.
Canada's National Women's Open Golf Championship will take place from
August 20-26 at The Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam, BC.
CN Miracle Match is a national charitable initiative that rallies
communities across Canada behind a very worthy cause - supporting
children's hospitals. Funds raised through this initiative in
communities in the Vancouver area and throughout British Columbia will
be given to BC Children's Hospital Foundation.
Each year since 2006, CN and Golf Canada have raised funds to support
children's hospitals by matching funds raised through initiatives
connected with the CN Canadian Women's Open. In the past six years, the
CN Miracle Match program has raised $6.45 million for children's
hospitals located in the cities that have hosted the Open.
"At CN, we believe that the best way to build strong communities is to
promote and safeguard the health of our young people and we are very
proud that CN Miracle Match has been able to help children all across
Canada since 2006," said Claude Mongeau, President and Chief Executive
Officer of CN. "We are confident that the money raised in the course of
the 2012 campaign will help BC Children's Hospital continue to provide
critical pediatric care to children throughout British Columbia. "
"Community-minded partners like CN and Golf Canada play an important
role in keeping BC Children's Hospital at the forefront of pediatric
medicine," said Teri Nicholas, president and CEO of BC Children's
Hospital Foundation. "BC Children's is the only hospital in the
province with the full range of expertise required to meet the needs of
critically or chronically ill children. Funds raised through the CN
Miracle Match program will help us ensure we continue to provide the
best health care possible for our children today and in the future."
The 2012 CN Canadian Women's Open marks the return of professional golf
to Vancouver following the 2011 RBC Canadian Open, which was conducted
by Golf Canada last July at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club.
"Along with our partners at CN, we believe it is very important that the
CN Canadian Women's Open leave a lasting legacy in our local host
communities," said Scott Simmons, Golf Canada's Executive Director and
Chief Executive Officer.

Judaism Seeks Salvation for a Race, Not for Individuals
July 30, 2009Roy Tov is an Israeli political dissident living in Bolivia. He has converted to Christianity (speaks at churches in Bolivia. A brilliant chemist, he was exiled because he converted and socialized with Palestinians. Recently he was attacked, injured and robbed by Israelis in La Paz. This is Ch. 20 of his unpublished book "The Road to Bethlehem." It shows how collectivism (e.g. Socialism, Zionism and Communism) might originate in the Jewish focus on ethnic redemption and explains why these movements have no moral compunction when dealing with perceived enemies of collective redemption. i.e. "the end justifies the means."
by Roy Tov
Christianity poses a singular threat to Jewish leadership. Universally, religion deals with salvation or redemption of the human soul. Judaism speaks about an ethnic salvation, provided the group fulfills the 613 Mosaic Laws written in the Pentateuch, the Bible's first five books. The laws' fulfillment is enforced and monitored by a dedicated group of priests.
In essence, the individuals' good-standing depends on the priests' judgment. As a result this is a powerful control tool over the general population. Since most of the population is not instructed on law, and moral values are not taught to them, they can be easily manipulated as per the priests' political goals at any given moment.
This became a model for the leaders of the young State of Israel. They created a country without constitution - nor set borders - in which laws could be changed quickly and unpredictably. Every citizen is in danger of becoming guilty of yesterday's crime which is today's law. A good relationship with the ever watchful authorities is the only assurance of receiving a redemptive wink.
It went even deeper. The tone of a typical Israeli conversation is highly ironic and displays a harsh and almost automatic criticism of the other person. Unlike British humor, the Israeli never points this weapon at himself. Under such circumstances, no deed or word are good enough for achieving redemption - i.e. social acceptance by a fellow citizen.
The result is that people seldom relax and create nurturing, positive relations with their peers. Every conversation is a battlefield, every friend hides a foe. Every dispute or criticism may deteriorate and lead to excommunication and the loss of the promised redemption.
Even those who grew up far away from a religious education were heavily indoctrinated on the importance of collective identity. "We don't do that," and "We do this" are the ubiquitous and unquestioned mantras of Jewish-Israeli society.
People proclaimed the opinions of their ethnic and religious groups, using "we" more often than "I." By repeating the views expected of them Israelis spared themselves the need to think or express their true opinions.
Jesus broke up this line of reasoning. He taught about personal redemption based on faith and love, of having direct access to God through our prayers and thus of being independent from priests. He preached the Kingdom of God, a society based on justice and love. Such a society can exist within the framework of a modern state, but it would lead to the loss of power by the few men thriving under Pharisaic modeled societies.
The result was that Jesus was considered an enemy from the beginning. His teachings and the New Testament were banned. So were many of the prophets who had made clear allusions to a Messiah resembling Jesus and of a New Covenant based on love and forgiveness. Therefore, the Pharisaic and rabbinical communities restricted their studies and commentaries to the Pentateuch. The other Old Testament books became nothing more than historic literature.
Even in my quasi-Communist high school - which claimed to be secular - we skipped Chapter 53 of the Book of Isaiah, which contains the clearest and exact allusion to Jesus, His deeds and the New Covenant in the Old Testament. The original text in Hebrew is even clearer than most translations into Indo-European languages. Isaiah's complex language always contains a subtext that is lost in the translations. In verse five, he doesn't only claim that His wounds would heal us, but he also hinted that we are healed by His companionship, delivering much of the Christian doctrine in just a few words.
Since it's difficult to attack a preaching of love and peace, the approach chosen by the Pharisees was complex. Jesus and His period were scarcely mentioned in Israeli history classes. Instead, greater emphasis was placed on deviant Christians who moved away from His teachings and committed atrocities.
The Spanish Inquisition was a central topic; the tortures were studied in excruciating detail. In that way, few of us would feel inclined to learn more about Christianity and the priests would keep their positions and the huge material and political benefits accompanying them. We were encouraged to fear Christianity.
The model was adopted by the State of Israel. For such a method to work in a modern state, two things were imperative. The first was a Jewish majority and thus the "Law of Return" granting immediate citizenship to any Jew immigrating to Israel was the first law legislated by the Israeli parliament.This created a new problem, namely defining "Who is a Jew?" which is still unresolved.
The second was giving the priests control over key points of citizens' lives: birth, marriage and burial. Even nowadays, these events are controlled exclusively by religious authorities while basic human rights are grossly ignored.
Comments for "Judaism Seeks Salvation for a Race, Not for Individuals"
Peter said (August 1, 2009):
The Schossen article reflects the social dynamics of a religious cult. This ( the dynamics, where Obama is perfectly at home)has taken over the US which 'leads' the world into a global version.
The self regulating social dynamics in Israel may not be as stark in the western nations nevertheless the ability to communicate perspectives about what is going on in the world contrary to the major political parties and the media is just as difficult intellectually. So people then find like minds on the 'net'.
The social dynamic is a paradox because it is a form of perpetual revolution based on crisis upon crisis revolving around a static philosophy. Everything and everybody is
expendable to the 'messiah'/state/culture/brotherhood/corporation/
institution/ you name it, run by an occultic elite who of course could never really fully trust one another even within the same family as commonly found in history. So the expendability can actually go right to the top.
In fact communist cells used to practice it by purging the leaders cyclically for the diety system. And Rabbi Stephen Wise said Marxism was Judaism.Fact remains stranger than fiction.
Lynda said (August 1, 2009):
Thank you so much for the valuable report on Rueven Schossen. His testament is definitely one for our times. And he needs political assylum.
Like so many on the Jewish American roll of honour, it is clear that Rueven is of Khazarian descent. Whether Christians or Jews or Muslims - the people of this ethnicity are going to do a lot more than just go with the flow in terms of their convictions. As Christians - like Benjamin Freedman - they are going to do a lot more than just sit on their Blessed Assurance. As Catholics, the Khazarians led the armies of Christendom against the Muslim invasions of Europe often turning the tide of events for their co-religionists around against impossible odds.
I hope that Americans who want to save America as a free society and Christians who want regather the Christian forces can see what great potential is in this young man if he could be granted assylum from his foes in the U.S.
Anthony said (July 31, 2009):
Christian greetings in the precious Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Christianity poses a singular threat to Jewish leadership. Universally, religion deals with salvation or redemption of the human soul. Judaism speaks about an ethnic salvation, provided the group fulfills the 613 Mosaic Laws written in the Pentateuch, the Bible's first five books. The laws' fulfillment is enforced and monitored by a dedicated group of priests.
The "ethnic salvation" is for self-styled Jews alone who believe they are collectively their own Messiah.
The 613 spurious laws are for non-Jews, that is, for animals G-d created in the human form to serve non-Semitic self-styled Jews. The 613 laws are neither Mosaic nor are they written anywhere in the Old Testament let alone the Pentateuch. Please correct this and inform readers that the Noahide laws are a fraud.
In essence, the individuals' good-standing depends on the priests' judgment.
This is contrary which restricts salvation to grace by faith alone. Read the history of Abraham in the Old or New Testaments.
When apostate self-styled Jews organized the Roman Catholic false church at the Hegelian dialectic of the First Nicea Council in partnership with the Roman State (which they had helped to destroy) they introduced this nicolaitane concept of a priestly hierarchy "which Jesus hates" (Revelation 2:15).
The Spanish Inquisition was a central topic; the tortures were studied in excruciating detail. In that way, few of us would feel inclined to learn more about Christianity and the priests would keep their positions and the huge material and political benefits accompanying them. We were encouraged to fear Christianity.
The Spanish Inquisition had nothing whatever to do with Christianity. It was conducted by so-called Jews and the Judaeo-Roman Catholic church which was at no time Christian following Jewish treachery against their host nation Spain.

On March 13, Commissioner Taylor, along with Dr. Lance Freeman, an expert on youth homeless policy from Columbia University, and Bobby Watts, Executive Director of Care for the Homeless, participated in a public policy education program for over 100 attendees at Baruch College.
The moderator and organizer of the event was Dr. John Goering, who specializes in housing and affordable housing policy at Baruch College.
Commissioner Taylor provided a brief overview of DHS, such as the fact that the agency oversees approximately 250 shelters citywide, and the various populations we serve – from single adults and adult families (couples without minor children) to families with children.
In contrast to other cities across the nation, he noted New York City's unique right-to-shelter mandate, which requires DHS to give shelter to every eligible homeless family and individual, every night.
In addition, he discussed our around-the-clock outreach programs; the HOPE survey; investing in Homebase – DHS' homelessness prevention program; and our priority to promote positive long-term outcomes for children in shelter.

We had a great debate at the FSClub the other day, with the provocative title: "this house believes that SEPA (the Single Euro Payments Area) does matter".The evening was chaired by the more than capable Bob Lyddon, who coordinates the IBOS Association secretariat, and four panel members who 'played' parts in being proposes and opposer of the motion.Proposing the motion were two leading European Proponents: Gilbert Lichter, CEO of the Euro Banking Association (EBA) Clearing Company that runs STEP2, a Pan-European ACH; and Fred Bär, Managing Director for Euro Services at Vocalink.Opposing the motion were two devilish Brits, set up in the form of Paul Smee, Chief Executive of the UK Payments Council; and Simon Bailey, who is currently starring in 'The Phantom Of The Opera', at Her Majesty's Theatre where he plays the role of Raoul. Pardon?
Whoops, sorry, it's not that Simon Bailey. It's Simon Bailey of Logica ... an easy mistake to make.
On the night, Bob kicked off the motion by making clear that there are four immutable facts about SEPA which were not up for debate. These are that there is no end-date set as of today (although I think one is coming); the Core and B2B SEPA Direct Debits schemes are in production; the fact that there is no requirement for central bank reporting for transactions under €50,000 is good for efficiency; and cross-border direct debit and credit transfer euro transactions must now cost the same as domestic transactions.With those four foundation points, Bob then asked Gilbert to take the floor.
Gilbert gave a resoundingly balanced view, stating that the old days of cross-border margins and operations were a luxury. The way correspondent banks worked and the form filling required for cross-border payments were a big issue in inhibiting trade across Europe, and those days are now gone as European Commission Regulation 924/2009 makes it clear that every bank in Europe must now be reachable for SEPA Direct Debits.As these changes will alter the behaviours of payments processors and payments users, innovations will follow, as innovation follows buying behaviours. By way of example, Gilbert cited Spain where SEPA payments have increased from 3.5% of transactions to 13.6% in the last quarter.All of this means that SEPA does matter, because it is fundamentally changing European commerce and pushes banks to the management table.Paul Smee responded with a worrying opening line that SEPA reminded him of the old Samuel Johnson saying that 'a woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all'.There was a sharp intake of breath as, in today's politically correct world, Paul should really have substituted the word 'dog' for 'bitch' [editor: stop there!].Paul's comment was far more relevant to SEPA than the incorrectness of the statement however, in that if SEPA were that needed, then how come there haven't been any SEPA street parties yet to celebrate. Again, I would claim that there have been a few ... but then SIBOS, EBA Days and IPS aren't exactly street parties are they, as we all celebrate inside bars of the world but, there you go.Paul continued by saying that the reason for the lack of celebrations is down to the fact that:
- SEPA is not critical and nor are payments. No-one wakes up thinking about how important any of this is, unless you abolish cheques;
- SEPA doesn't matter because it has been a top-down process driven by politicians with no user involvement. The European Payments Council (EPC) must engage with the user communities, such as those represented by the UK Payments Council, for this to succeed; and
- SEPA is not working because, based upon the UK's experience with the Faster Payments Service, if you have a regulatory mandate involving technology change, IT will support this but the business community will not. In other words, SEPA needs a business requirement to succeed, not just a technology change.
Anyways, we concluded the evening with a vote and, surprisingly, the motion was carried by a single vote.
So yes, this house does believe that SEPA matters ... just.Meantime, returning to the theme of the Phantom, the sequel to the Phantom of the Opera comes out soon. It's called: Love Never Dies, and I wonder if that's what we'll see with SEPA.
SEPA Never Dies; it just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on ... bring on the end-date ...

The visit was part of a week's worth of activity to highlight Girls Football and give young females the opportunity to become more involved in the sport. Manchester United Foundation has been holding girls' development sessions at Cadishead Primary and a number of other schools since September. Michael's surprise visit to the school was a real treat for the girls, as he took part in a question and answer session before getting involved with a training session, teaching them new a few new ball skills. Headmaster at the school Mr Hargreaves is hoping the visit will inspire them to achieve great things:
"They have a tournament in January and Michael's visit has really inspired them. They were very excited. I think they were pleased that someone was recognising the fact that they were good at football as well as the boys "
Girls Football Week took place between 27th November and 4th December. Throughout the week the Foundation showcased the pool of talent in our FA Girls' Centre of Excellence and provided opportunities for beginners to get a taster of Girls Football. This included demonstration at both the Blackburn home match and the Foundation's annual Santa Run, the invitation for spectators to view Girls Football Fixtures and the launch of a 'Girls Only' evening football session. Emma Fletcher said: 'We have some really talented girls in our centre and we wanted to do something to celebrate that. This awareness week was also about providing opportunities for even more girls to get involved in football, aside from the obvious health benefits, football can help to build confidence and we can provide opportunities at all levels and abilities'.
The visit was filmed by Match of the Day Kick About for a programme to be aired in January.

I love these 8-bit pony games! Starting with Story of the Blanks from way back when, I've had a soft spot for anything combining 8-bit graphics and colorful miniature equines. This latest game from Kevinsano is fast paced, fun, and something I'd like to see more of! Make sure to leave him some feedback if you can as it would be nice to see him continue making pony themed games in the future.

Hi! I recently made a dress (my first one) and realized that using a pattern as written does not fit my body (big surprise - ha ha).
I have NO interest in making my own patterns, so I don't think Sure Fit, etc. will help me. I just want to know how to alter patterns to fit me. I really like the commercial patterns. I have a stash, and am excited about making dress, shirts, and even a pair of shorts.
Does anyone know of a system that could help me with fitting for the Big Four patterns?
Thank you!
Hi Mindy,
Welcome! You've come to a great place to get help with your fitting questions. There are a lot of people around here like you -- who want to use commercial patterns, but also to have them fit properly. If you spend some time looking around at past threads on these boards you will start to get some perspective about where to start.
As for a 'system,' there are a number of different approaches to fit that seem to work differently for different people. Some of them are associated with particular fit teachers, many of whom have written books about fit. (I believe the Lutterloh system is a fitting system, also, but I know nothing about it; there's a ton of info about it here, though. I'm not sure if it's something that would work with the Big 4, or if it uses its own patterns.)
My suggestion is that you begin by investing in a basic pattern fitting book. Two of the most popular, particularly for those beginning to work on fit, are Fit For Real People by Pati Palmer and Marta Alto (often abbreviated here as FFRP), and Fast Fit by Sandra Betzina. Either one of these will help you achieve a much better fit pretty quickly, I think.
There are many, many others, and as you progress you will begin to learn what direction you might want to go in. (I don't want to scare you, but you may find that, after some experience, a little basic pattern drafting will appeal! I never thought I'd be doing it.)
Here's a thread from last year discussing members' favorite fitting books. You might also try plugging terms for your basic fit issues into the message board search and see what you come up with. If you don't know what terms to look for, post a message and ask.
Or, you can just browse through the Fitting Woes and Pattern Modifications, Design Changes and Pattern Drafting boards for threads that might apply to your fit challenges.
Good luck! I am by no means a fitting expert -- just someone who was in your shoes about 18 months ago. I am sure others will have more to add.
You have come to the right place
Marjoriekh, gave you a lot of great advice. If you are working on something and just can't seem to "get it right", post a picture on one of the threads, along with your question. Pictures help a lot.
Here is one for pants.
And this book uses the pivot and slide method for pattern alterations.
------"Improvise, adapt and overcome." - Clint Eastwood/Heartbreak Ridge
"Isn�t it a shame in today�s world you can�t tell the truth. If you tell the truth you�re abrasive. If you lie you�re charming." - Bob Huggins/College Basketball Coach
Which dress pattern was this?
If you could post pics of front, side, and back of yourself in the dress ( hopefully it's not in black) then others here can see and help you with it. The folks here are friendly and can often identify issues that you may not have noticed yourself.
If you're lucky, there'll be someone who has almost the same shape as you and/or who has sewn that same pattern so they could give even more specific info.
I don't know if you have any books like Fit For Real People, Fast Fit, or The Perfect Fit, but those are also helpful. Most libraries have these books so maybe you can take a look to see any of those make sense to you.
Like what others above had said. < : )
PattiAnn, thanks for posting the Threads "seam" method. I'm going to try that on my next pants pattern.
I just wanted to add that, after looking more thoroughly through the thread I linked to about members' favorite fitting books, I noticed that a lot of posters there were critical of Fit For Real People.
They do make valid criticisms, but for the most part these are experienced sewists who have come to understand fit problems pretty well and are looking for something more advanced and comprehensive.
If you look through the two other threads linked to by LauraTS at the beginning of that thread, you will find many positive recommendations of FFRP, as well as other basic fit books. Then, if you go to Amazon and use the 'Look Inside' feature of the books you are considering, you will likely get a sense of which author's style you are more drawn to. (I don't have Fast Fit, but I'm thinking now that might have been the best first book for me.)
Fit For Real People
Pattern Fitting With Confidence
Fast Fit
The Perfect Fit
You really want to begin with something simple and geared toward the fit novice, in my opinion, and get some basic fitting success under your belt quickly.
(I am now gearing up to get Sarah Veblen's new book, The Complete Photo Guide to Perfect Fitting, which is the right next step for me, I think, but would have intimidated me when I first got back into garment sewing a year-and-a-half ago.)
Also, don't forget that PR has online sewing courses that feature fit! I just signed up for Sarah Veblen's Bust Adjustments class later this month, and I'm seriously thinking about her bodice fitting class in May. She gets rave reviews here for her classes.
Welcome mindyandbelle! Fitting the Big Four is the same for fitting any pattern. Some are well drafted, some are not. Some just happen to fit some without too many modifications, some need a ton of rework.
Here's a question for you, how do you like to learn? If you like reading, there are a lot of tutorials on PR, sewing blogs, fitting books and other places on the web. If you are visual, craftsy.com has video classes, Peggy Sager does live webcasts www.silhouettepatterns.com, there's tutorials on YouTube. If you like hands on learning maybe a duct tape dummy will help or finding a local PRer who can help you fit.
Whatever method you choose, I agree with others that you should start with a simple design maybe a tank top. Then maybe a top with a sleeve. Then maybe a top with a collar. Just a step at a time and you'll be a pro in no time.
------I finally have a blog. www.detectivehoundstooth.com :)
It was a hybrid. I used Butterick 5032 for the top (and sash) and Butterick 6582 for the skirt. The skirt was fine. I had to do a quick fix because I needed to wear the dress last night, so I don't have pictures of one of the original problems - the straps were about an inch too long. I will see if I can get my husband to take a picture of the rest of the fit problems - the neckline is too wide for me, so the straps were on the edge of my shoulders, the neckline was gaping, and the back of the straps were gaping. It worked fine for the party, but I had been hoping to wear it again.
I have a chance to take a class with Sarah Veblen through the ASG. It is called "Achieve a Custom Fit." I would love to take it, but it would cost $350 and it only covers a blouse or dress (no pants!) Do you think it is worth the cost? I learn very well by doing, so it might be a good thing.

Black Lives Matter protests (2014)
Why I have no Idea if Darren Wilson is Guilty or Not: Response to Omekongo
This is in response to Omekongo's piece "Why I think Darren Wilson is guilty: a reflection on stereotypes"
which I thought was really really good.
It is in my blood. It is how I was raised. My parents never explicitly told me to treat everyone to the same chance to be a friend and trusted, but they did not have to. Growing up on military instillation people are housed together on and off post. There is no institutionalized racial segregation. Zero. None. There are no racially segregated neighborhoods because when military personnel arrive to a new post they and their family get the quarters that are available and they all look the same. The only difference is between officer and enlisted in some cases. And there are no differences in the schools on post. We are all thrown together.
As a five year old in Kindergarten I had no concept about race. I knew people looked different. Some by skin color. But the other white kids looked different too. Their facial features were different, the shape of their bodies were different, their gender was different. A difference in skin color meant no more than the other characteristics.
I remember the kid I did not get along with in 2nd grade happened to be white. He was a dick and I did not like him. My best friend in that same grade happened to be black. On the street I lived on I had three black friends and one Hawaiian friend. Well at times we were friends, at other times we hated each other. Typical kids regardless of race. Half the kids on my soccer team were not white. Half of those on my football and baseball team were not white either. The teams we played against off post were mostly white and black for at this time I was living in the South.
It was not until high school when we moved off post that I noticed some self segregation but not much. It was still a military town and many of the kids grew up in the same environment I had. My best friends in high school was one Puerto Rican, three Orientals, two white kids and a black kid. But I also played sports and so half the kids I played with were black and hispanic. We socialized outside of sports too. No matter what someone's race was we respected each other based on our ability to play or even if someone was not that good just the heart to come out and be part of the team.
I have never once, zero times, witnessed police treating any of my friends differently from me nor have I ever witnessed any of my friends of any race be disrespectful toward police in the very few interactions we ever had with them.
Today, many moons removed from high school, I live in the South again, and I live fairly close to a military instillation. I still play sports as do most of my friends which is how I know them, that and church. Half the guys I play ball with are not white. A new group of guys has also started playing with us. One of them is a black guy that mentors a group of younger ones that have had drug related issues. Those of us that have been playing together for quite some time welcome them with open arms. We think it is the greatest thing that late at night when other people are out doing stupid crap, they are there with us just having a good time and staying out of trouble. Respect is shown by all regardless of background or race.
Now a separate story that happened just last week. I was doing some work in a very ghetto neighborhood. Narrow streets, unkempt yards of mostly dirt, dogs chained up, shoe box style houses ect ect. A group of very loud people were outside already drinking and shooting at a basketball hoop, their little kids running around every which way with no supervision and each one of them wanted to shake my hand and loudly kind of obnoxiously greet me. Yes I was somewhat uncomfortable with these WHITE people.
A single black guy was also at the same house I was at doing some work while the white folks now sitting on their front porch were messing with him "Oh my gosh! I'm the only black person here. I've never seen so many white people in all my life" they were saying toward him. When he and I were out back out of earshot of them I was laughing when I asked him if they were giving him a hard time.
His response: "I gotta get out of here" he said laughing. We both could relate to each other. Our race, and the race of those people had nothing to do with it. It was the way they were acting and the things they were saying. I am sure some of them were decent people they just did not act the way I would act with strangers around trying to do some work. If they had been black I would have been just as uncomfortable around them. I simply did not know them.
My point is my upbringing allows me to not judge people based on their race. I will judge them on a whole lot of other things, but race is not one of them. And it is not so much judging someone like condemning them to Hell or something, obviously I do not have the power to do that, but like everyone else I make judgments about who I will associate with. Race is not not one of the factors.
So here is my response to Omekongo:
I do not know if Darren Wilson is guilty of murder or even conducting his encounter based on Michael Brown's race. All I know about him for a fact is:
He is white
He is a police officer
He shot Michael Brown who had no weapon
He shot at him at least six times and hit him that many
He was recently awarded by his police department
That is all I know about him. None of that by itself or together makes him guilty of murder or justifies the shooting. I have too many unanswered questions.
All I know about Michael Brown for a fact is:
He is black
He did not have a weapon
He recently man handled someone while stealing
Other than that I do not know a single thing about him. None of that by itself or together means he should be shot dead. But I have too many unanswered questions about what was going on at the time of the shooting.
Now I do realize there are some bad cops out there that have even gotten away with murder. But that is irrelevant to me because we are not dealing with all cops or some cops or a particular group of cops. We're dealing with a single cop.
If Darren Wilson unloaded six rounds into Michael Brown and all there was was an argument then Darren Wilson is guilty of murder.
If Michael Brown physically assaulted Darren Wilson then he is not guilty of murder.
It is one or the other and nothing I know at this point about either one of them leads me to believe one way or the other.

This place on the Vía España has long been popular with budget travelers, thanks to its decent location, bright rooms, and low rates. It lies on a busy street, which means its quite noisy by day. Its also near the bad side of town, as the guard with the Terminator 2 shotgun at the entrance attests. Rooms in back are quieter—ask for a room with a number ending in 1, 2, 3, or 4—but there's no complete escape from the honking. As the night wears on, things get quieter. The hotel has a small restaurant that serves acceptable lunch specials. Its a short taxi trip, from the ample restaurant and nightlife selections of El Cangrejo and the Área Bancária. Its often full, so reserve ahead.

Headlines August 28, 2006 Full Show | First Story >
Nasrallah Says He Regrets Soldier Captures
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has admitted he would not have ordered last month's capture of two Israeli soldiers had he known Israel would have responded as it did. In an interview with Lebanese TV, Nasrallah said: "We did not think, even one percent, that the capture would lead to a war at this time and of this magnitude… Had we known that the kidnapping of the soldiers would have led to this, we would definitely not have done it."
Reports: Prisoner Swap Imminent, Italy Offers Help
Nasrallah's comments come amid increased speculation of an imminent prisoner exchange with Israel. The Hezbollah leader says Italy and the United Nations have made overtures to help negotiate a deal. Meanwhile, the Egyptian state newspaper Al-Ahram is reporting the German government has brokered a deal between Israel and Hizbullah for a prisoner exchange within two or three weeks. Hezbollah officials did not confirm or deny the report but Israel says it's untrue. Israel has acknowledged it holds 13 Hezbollah prisoners and the bodies of dozens of guerrillas that it could swap for the two captive soldiers.
Rev. Jackson: Syria To Assist Negotiations
Meanwhile, the US civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson is in the Middle East as part of ongoing talks for a hostage exchange. In Damascus Sunday, Reverend Jackson said Syria was prepared take part in a negotiated solution.
- Rev. Jesse Jackson: "(Syrian President Bashar Assad) supports the finding of their status and their release — the Israelis, Lebanese, and Syrians — but they are not in his direct control. He uses influence and appeal. At the end we find out what their status is and ultimately their release. And his influence, we think, is positive and substantial."
In Lebanon, British MP Galloway Praises "Great and Historic Victory"
The British Parliamentarian George Galloway is also in Lebanon this week. Speaking in Beirut Saturday, Galloway hailed what he called Hezbollah's "great and historic victory."
- British MP George Galloway: "I came here to extend my congratulations to the Lebanese people on a great and historic victory against this aggression... And in particular, I want to congratulate the Lebanese resistance and their leading edge, Hizbollah, whose martyrs and whose heroes have achieved this great victory… Tony Blair did everything he could to extend, to prolong, to intensify the suffering of the people of Lebanon. The blood of these thousands is on his hands."
EU Pledges 7,000 Troops for Lebanon Force
The European Union has pledged up to seven thousands troops for an expanded UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon. The decision came out of an international conference in Brussells.
- Lebanese Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh: "We are happy here in Lebanon because the Brussels conference yielded positive results. The decision taken by sending about 7000 to 8000 European soldiers to join the UNIFIL is of great assistance and help the Lebanese army which has already started to deploy in the south of Lebanon."
Fox News Journalists Freed in Gaza
Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig have been freed. The Fox News journalists were kidnapped two weeks ago by a previously unknown militant group in the Gaza Strip. All of the major Palestinian factions had called on the captors to let them go. Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig spoke on Sunday just hours after their release.
- Fox News Reporter Steve Centanni: "I just hope this never scares a single journalist away from coming to Gaza to cover the story, the people are very beautiful, kind-hearted loving people who the world need to know more about, and so do not be discouraged, come and tell a story it is a wonderful story and I am just happy to be here and thanks again for all your support."
- Fox News Camera Operator Olaf Wiig: "I just want to add something very briefly, my biggest concern really is that as a result of what has happened to us foreign journalists will be discouraged from coming here and tell the story, and that would be a great tragedy for the people of Palestine and especially for the people of Gaza. Your story doesn't get very well told, because it is difficult to work here, and anything that any little discouragement that you know something incident like this could give a network an excuse not to be here and that would be a great tragedy for the people of Gaza."
Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig were freed after appearing in a video announcing their conversion to Islam. They say their captors forced them to convert at gunpoint.
Two Journalists Wounded in Israeli Airstrike
Meanwhile in Gaza, two other journalists were wounded when an Israeli gunship bombed their vehicle on Saturday. Witnesses say the car was hit despite being clearly marked as a media vehicle with markings on all sides, including the roof. Sabbah Hmaida, a journalist for a local Palestinian news site, was left with serious leg injuries. A camera operator working for Reuters was also wounded.
80 Iraqis, 8 US Troops Killed in Weekend Violence
In Iraq, a suicide attack outside the Interior Ministry in Baghdad earlier today has killed at least fourteen people. The bombing follows the weekend deaths of at least eighty Iraqis and eight US troops in violence around the country.
US Shells Ramadi Mosque
Iraqis in the city of Ramadi are expressing outrage over a US attack on a mosque Friday that left at least three people dead and twenty-two injured. The mosque suffered major damage to its dome and minaret. The Pentagon says it was responding to fire coming from inside.
- Adnan Naji, the prayer caller at the mosque: "The tanks arrived and started to shell and the sniper was stationed there. The tank moved towards here. Some of the worshippers were martyred and others were wounded, we do not know how many? Some of the people have managed to go out from here, through holes gouged on the walls while cars started to transport the wounded. We do not know the number of the people who were martyred, but most of those killed were children who could not managed to escape."
Report: Most Iraqi Deaths Unpunished in US Military
In other Iraq news, a major review by the Washington Post has concluded most US service members charged in the killings of Iraqi civilians have either been acquitted, convicted of minor offenses or given light punishments. Just over three dozen US troops have been accused in the deaths of twenty Iraqis since the US invaded Iraq three years ago — despite the deaths of an unknown thousands of Iraqis at the hands of US forces. Just twelve troops have served time in prison.
Reuters Calls For Independent Inquiry Into US Killing of Journalist
Meanwhile, the Reuters news agency is calling on the US military to investigate the killing of television sound technician Waleed Khaled. The 35-year old Khaled died one year ago today. He was working for Reuters in Iraq when US troops shot him in the face and chest. U.S. soldiers were heard joking around when Waleed Khaled's family came to the scene of the shooting. An independent inquiry by a former British military investigator has concluded the shooting was unlawful. The Pentagon has also been criticized for claiming it lost crucial video footage taken by Khaled's passenger after he was shot.
Results of Partial Mexico Vote Recount Expected Today
In Mexico, results are expected today of a partial recount of last month's presidential election. Second-place candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has demanded a full recount of all polling stations. But the recount will cover just nine percent. Lopez Obrador told supporters in Mexico City Sunday he will continue his campaign for a full recount.
- Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador: "If the will of the people is not respected, it will be an abuse to the rights of the people which would signify a rupture of constitutional order and a hit against the state."
More Than 24 Injured in Blasts in Turkish Resort Town
In Turkey, more than two dozen people have been injured in a series of blasts in the resort town of Marmaris. The explosions targeted areas popular among foreign tourists.
Rebel Tribal Chief Killing Sets Off Protests in Pakistan
In Pakistan, the government's killing of a rebel tribal chief has set off major unrest. Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti died Saturday in a bombing in the Pakistani province of Baluchistan. Pakistan says the killing was unintentional and the result of clashes with government forces. Bugti's death has led to protests across the province. Three demonstrators and at least one police officer have died.
As US Workers Increase Productivity, Real Wages See Decline
Here in the United States, new figures show increasing economic growth has not led to a rise in real wages for American workers. The New York Times reports the median hourly wage has declined by two percent in the last three years. Economists say the drop is unprecedented because overall productivity has risen over the same period of time. Wages and salaries now account for the lowest share of the US economy in over half a century. Corporate profits have reached their highest share over the same period.
Report: White House Limiting Input From Opponents of "Secret Evidence"
There is new controversy over the Bush administration's illegal military tribunals at Guantanamo Bay. The Boston Globe is reporting the White House is limiting input from career military lawyers who say detainees should have the right to see the evidence used against them. The administration has been forced to re-draft its rules for military commissions after the Supreme Court ruled they were illegal in June. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has assured Congress the administration will consult with military legal experts. But in several meetings over the last two months, the issue of secret evidence has been discussed on just one occasion.
Anti-War Protesters Target Bush Family Wedding
In Maine, a wedding in President Bush's family received an unexpected presence this weekend — anti-war protesters. On Saturday, about 700 people marched past the seaside church where President Bush was attending his second cousin's wedding. The marchers denounced the war on Iraq and called for the withdrawal of US troops.
Authors: Armitage Leaked Plame's Identity
This news on the CIA leak case — a new book has identified former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage as the White House source who outed former CIA operative Valerie Plame. The authors, journalists Michael Isikoff of Newsweek and David Corn of the Nation, cite three government sources who say Armitage outed Plame to columnist Robert Novak and journalist Bob Woodward in July of 2003. Armitage apparently admitted his action as early as three months later to then-Secretary of State Colin Powell. Plame is apparently considering bringing Armitage to court for leaking her identity to the press.
Evolutionary Biology Absent From List of Federal Study Grants
In education news, the New York Times is reporting evolutionary biology is no longer listed as an acceptable field of study for low-income recipients of federal study grants. The omission would mean students studying evolutionary biology could not receive federal money without declaring another major. That is causing concern among scientists who say their field is under attack from opponents of evolutionary theory. A government spokesperson said the omission was unintentional and will be corrected.
Nuremberg Prosecutor: Bush, Hussein Should Be Tried For War Crimes
And finally, a chief prosecutor of Nazi war crimes at Nuremberg has said President Bush should be tried for war crimes. Benjamin Ferencz, who secured convictions for 22 Nazi officers involved in the killings of more than one million people, told OneWorld.Net both President Bush and Saddam Hussein should be tried for starting "aggressive" wars — Saddam for his 1990 attack on Kuwait and Bush for his invasion of Iraq thirteen years later.

On the night of Oct. 20, 2014, Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old African-American teenager in Chicago, was walking down the street when two police cruisers sped up to him. Officers jumped out, and at least one of them, Jason Van Dyke, began firing. Laquan fell to the ground, his final, painful moments caught on the dashboard video camera of a third police vehicle that had arrived just seconds before. Laquan spun as he was shot. Two bullets hit him in the back. As the video clearly shows, the bullets were pumped into him, evidenced by clouds of dust exploding off the pavement. This week, on the day the video was released to the public by court order, Officer Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder — 400 days after he killed Laquan McDonald.

Whereas, Western Carolina University's QEP embraces the desire to create a university experience for students that is a comprehensive, holistic, transformative activity that integrates academic learning and student development processes that have often been considered separate, and even independent of each other.
Whereas, WCU's retention and graduation rates suggest that students need to connect experiences in the classroom and in the field to facilitate their learning and develop a plan that will take them through the university experience and its key decision points to degree completion and a career or further education.
Whereas, a challenge exists in higher education as it pertains to life or career-based education – in particular, how an institution of higher education can build upon well established pedagogical strategies and help students intentionally integrate their exploration of life and career-based choices.
Whereas, changes in curricula, advising, pedagogy, student life, and other areas have each led to some improvement in the synthesis of college students, no single approach has produced significant advancement.
Whereas, the QEP will function as the framework for infusing synthesis intentionally and systematically within the broader curricular and co-curricular frameworks.
Therefore, be it resolved that the Staff Forum hereby supports the concepts of the Quality Enhancement Plan at Western Carolina University.

He's pounding away like a champ!
Perfect body great tits love it
oh baby, let me lick his come off your bush and eat you til you come.
This is one of the all time great videos. Missionary sex on a hot girl with a nice bush...just erotic as hell. A man's sperm looks great on a girl's pubic hair.
The slapping sound is out of sync with the action. Seems like someone is beating off noisily off-camera.
Don't think I would have pulled out................
Thanks for the realy hot porn life show !!
Will you look at those fine tits and nipples?!?! And the fluffy pussy is the very best, the way its meant to be. The cum shot on her patch is excellent, I don't think I could have managed it myself, I'd have shot off inside then watched her finger her lips and bring it out and work it into those lovely pubes. What a beautiful pussy.
Exactly the kind of girl I dont like to fuck. So passive it looks like she's asleep.
i love creamy white skin so smooth so sweet and good to eat , red heads are fun in bed.
rather shoot my load in her
@ matt i fucked a few girls who had their eyes closed and at first you thought may be passive but were screamers and squirted all over the place
Great tits and nipples! Why does she keep her eyes shut most of the time? She must be trying to imagine that a better looking guy is fucking her.
I would love to dump my load on your hair pussy. I love watching her play with her pussy as she giving her man a blow job
HAIRY ! I love it !
Bel video...la fica pelosa ha sempre una grande attrattiva.
Like your bouncing tits, baby.
stunning pussy
Are there any other videos from her?
Meh, I was reading shoot your Load in my hairy pusyy.....
One of the best vids on here. Why? Her hot little Pussy is EXACTLY what a Pussy is supposed to look like.
love hairy snatch
awful video, but she is so perfect
Her name is Kayce I believe, she did at least one scene for atk hairy, a solo scene with some good dirty talk to it, if anyone knows where I can find more of this girl please post and let me know
Her name is Kaycee, she did a scene for atk hairy before this, if anyone knows more please post, I love this girls performance
My bf loves shooting his thick nut juice on my patch of pubic hair.
anybody know her name or is she a real amateur
lol onad. delidious? who leaves these comments?
There is no place like Homegrown glad you like the videos.XoXo
Video begins with fellatio and no cunnilingus follows. This is a one-way street to show HER pleasing HIM. Then next scene of reverse cowgirl has no scene where SHE puts HIS erect penis into HER warm, moist vagina. It is her work in this film to lay there, passively, while he works himself up to an orgasim. She is part of the scenery set. Bad....
this is such a low quality video why would anyone want it? they need to invest in some equiment.
allysa machan
is she blind ?
The sex sound was awesome on this video!
i agree with you ab but there aint nowt porn hornier than seeing another man's cum tricling down awoman's HAIRY BUSH -except maybe her tongue !!
This women is one of the hottest ever on this site. I'd do anything to fuck her.
why does the girl never get to come? Boring. Never let my girl away with at least two..
I love hairy pussy's, they're so natural which is what makes a woman, any woman beautiful. x

One of the fastest growing sports in the country has nothing to do with helmets, baskets or a bat and glove. Sand volleyball is taking the nation by storm as the fastest growing sport in youth participation and it is really sparking interest locally, says University of Louisiana Monroe sand volleyball coach David Fischer.
"We have seen youth volleyball tournaments grow tenfold in recent years," Fischer said. "I think that the popularity of it has grown because girls are seeing the chance to earn a scholarship in another sport like volleyball, and here at ULM they can play both indoor and sand ...

Plasters bring new life into ordinary space. While setting off a wall with color can have a dynamic effect, the textures and lighting of plasters add their own unique accents. Plaster accent walls can be focal points in and of themselves or provide subtle reinforcement to other furnishings and features. They are particularly powerful as backdrops for special works of art.

St. Lucia, an island country in the Caribbean Sea. It is one of the Windward Islands of the West Indies. St. Lucia is a mountainous, volcanic island, rising about 3,100 feet (945 m) above sea level. Its area is 238 square miles (616 km 2). The economy is basically agricultural. Bananas, cacao, and coconuts are the chief crops. There is also a significant tourist industry. The population is 155,996; about half the people live in Castries, the capital. Most of the people are of African descent. Languages are English and a French patois, or dialect.
The earliest known inhabitants of St. Lucia were Arawak and Carib Indians. The British made several attempts to settle St. Lucia in the early 17th century, but failed because of the hostile Carib Indians. French colonists began arriving from Martinique in 1650. Britain and France contested ownership of the island until 1814, when it was ceded to Britain by the Treaty of Paris. In 1967, St. Lucia became a self-governing state associated with Great Britain. Independence was gained in 1979.

Pattern - Silhouette's #600 Classic Blouse. D cup.
Muslins in 2 sizes - each with only one sleeve.
Muslin photos
The first 4 photos are the larger size. I had added 1" length between bust and armhole. I think this was too much and have pinned out 1/2". The shoulder seams looked (in the mirror anyway) too long. I'm not so sure looking at the pictures though. The shirt pulls up quite a bit when I lift my arm. Quite a bit is pinned out of the side at the bust. This one is cut too small at the hips which is an easier fix for me than the shoulders. There are supposed to be front darts below the bust - I let them back out. Based on most of this above, I thought the smaller size would be better.
Next 4 photos - smaller size. Added 7/8" length between bust and armhole based on the adjusted measurement from the larger size. This looks better on the top of my shoulder but is not wide enough at the back of the armhole. It pulls more when I lift my arm. I cut this one wider at the hips.
Last 4 photos - a RTW shirt which is stretch woven fabric. I think all of my shirts don't fit right on the top of the shoulder which I never noticed before! The shoulder seam is typically past my shoulder. I think the wrinkle at the back right below the collar is because it needs a square shoulder adjustment. I've also noticed a lot of my shirts have that same wrinkle.
Is it possible that I have short?/narrow? shoulder length but larger shoulder width? Can I be one size in the back and a smaller size in the front?
I don't need this to fit perfect. I would like it to fit well. Last week someone at work told me "Perfect is the enemy of good enough." Wise words as I can get too caught up in tweaking projects and I'm more critical than anyone else would be.
Wow! Sounds like you know what you're doing, and you're trying really hard to get this to fit. The pattern is a little loosely fitting, so take this into consideration. I've made several blouses out of this, that's how I know. I'm only estimating your problems and I'm sure others will chime in with their points too. Hopefully I won't confuse you.
First, do you see the diagonal folds on your back near your shoulder seam? That tells me you have forward rolling shoulders; that they curve toward the front more, making your body sort of barrel shaped. I have this problem all the time and mostly on one side. I'd pull up the outside part of the back armhole to see if this goes away. If it does, then I would do a Forward Shoulder Adjustment. Sometimes I use shoulder pads and this corrects the problem. I'd also rotate your sleeve toward the front the same amount of the FSA, so that the sleeve cap is setting more on the knob of your shoulder.
Next, it appears that there is some serious puddling above your hipline (fourth picture, first set). This tells me you either have a length issue or a high round back. What would happen if you were to slash just above your shoulder blades and not interfering with the armhole, and leave an opening of about 1/2"? This would allow some room over your shoulder blades. Then remove this same amount just before your waist. The RTW picture, last one, shows a high round back.
The next items I see glaring are the bust darts. The horizontal dart is too long; it should just point to your bust point, not meet it. The same is true of the vertical darts. (second and third photos, first set and fourth photo second set)
The back in the first photo second set looks close to what you need, apart from the diagonal folds at the shoulder, and the curved folds in the back. And it might be due to your cutting it wider at the hips. It's possible that your back is larger than the front; I have the same problem.
I'm not certain if this is all, but it's what I can come up with for now. I'm sure others will have some great ideas.

My blog: http://auntmaymesattic.wordpress.com/
If the sleeve is binding when you lift your arm like in the first picture, it means you need more back ease. I see that the armhole is very cut out for a shirt (row 1, last pic), so you won't get a comfortable sleeve with armhole looking like this. How about a pattern with a back pleat?
You have a rounded back, and on pic 3, row 2 I see that the shoulder seams are quite shifted to the back. I would definitely add more length across shoulder blades. It will move the shoulder seam to the front, stop choking you at CF and get rid of those diagonal wrinkles at the back.
I also think you need an FBA (row 2, pic 2) because I see "rays" coming out of your boobs :)
And re square shoulders - you have to button up the shirt to decide if you really need it or not (row 3 , pic 1). Sometimes fabric just folds diagonally like this when the top buttons are undone.
All the best with your fitting!
Have you tried emailing Peggy Sagers at Silhouette Patterns? I have emailed to her a few times with questions and always get a reply. Your pictures would give her great insight to your struggles and I'm sure she could be a tremendous help to you with suggestions. If its more than she can explain in an email, she may ask for your phone number and call you! Good Luck.
In addition to emailing Peggy like TX suggests you could also join the newly formed SihouetteFriends Yahoo Group. I found out about them on the chat before Peggy's webcast last night. It's free and this is the description "This is a friendship group for the lovers of Silhouette Patterns. Join us to post your experiences with Silhouette Patterns. Show us your muslin for fitting help or better yet post pictures of your finished garments. Peggy is not always available -- lets help each other." Your pictures are great I'm sure there are many in the group who can help.
I see a definite rounded upper back, but I'm not sure about the forward shoulder. If it were me, I'd make the rounded upper back adjustment and look at it again to see whether you still need a forward shoulder adjustment.
Also, the armhole binding can also be caused by the armhole being too long (doesn't look like that's the case here) or by the armhole being too far away from the center of your body, whether that is due to a narrow shoulder or the bodice being too wide at the underarm.
I agree that the smaller size seems to be a better starting point for you. I notice that in the side view, it pulls away from the front of your body a bit. Once you adjust for the rounded back and fix the bust darts per Miss Fairchild's suggestion, look at the blouse again. You may need a smidge of a FBA.
Slashed across the back on the smaller muslin which seemed to help. Not sure how to measure the gap - maybe lay the tape measure over my shoulder and take a picture.
It appears from the side view that I still need to do the Forward Shoulder Adjustment. The tightness in the sleeve feels better but still not acceptable. If I pull up on the top of the shoulder seam, it feels better and it's easier to move. Armhole too large vertically? I'll try the FSA first and see if that helps. A smaller armhole requires yet another muslin.
Slashed the back
I know the bust darts are too long on this version. I think I need to solve the issues above the bust first and work my way down.
MissFairchild - thank you for your insight. This fitting stuff defies normal logic. Who knew that tightness across the shoulder blades is a length issue? And a shoulder seam is a dart? They didn't teach me this xx years ago in home-ec class. -- Edited on 8/13/13 10:48 PM --
Something stuck in my head from one of Peggy Sagers' videos. Correcting one problem should not create another - if it does, then the correction wasn't right.
It seems that may have been what I've done. Maybe.
I did a forward shoulder adjustment as suggested. I put the sleeve back in but I didn't move the center dot on the cap. I matched the original to the new seamline and the seams don't match up under the arm. It still didn't feel right and I restitched the seam for square shoulders.
Here are the latest photos. It's difficult to see but I now have a gap in the back neckline starting about halfway between center back and the shoulder seam. The seam is also standing away from my neck at the shoulder seam. I didn't find that problem in FFRP book.(I only did the FSA and square adjustments on the side with the sleeve. Is this my problem?)
On a positive note, what originally looked like a problem with the bust dart is much better. I don't have the pulling above the bust towards the shoulder.
