I purchased M6558 3-weeks ago, and never checked inside my envelope. I cut out my pattern like always on sat. and noticed once I was ready to lay it out, low and behold.....no instruction sheet!
I know i should just drive back to Joanns where I purchased it and see if they could get me another, but that's an hour drive away, and I hate paying tolls to get there.
If anyone could help, a scan, a pic or anything I would be soo grateful! If all else fails, I guess I'll have to take that fieldtrip!
...........style that flows
Email the company, and tell them what happened.
Several years ago, I had a pattern that was missing a piece. It was odd to them as well as me, and they sent me out the whole tissue to replace it.
What Elaina said. I had one pattern that somehow had two of one sheet and none of the second. The company sent me an entire new pattern. Probably easier to do than to send the one sheet I needed.
They may be able to email you the instructions.

Global insurance: vast potential
The global insurance market is remarkably strong, despite continued fallout from the financial crisis. Low interest rates coupled with relatively poor investment returns have impeded growth, but demand for insurance products and services remains high.
We keep you prepared by providing insights into the nuances of your market, as well as global trends putting pressure on the industry.
Stay nimble amid risk and regulation
Waves of global legislation continue to pressure management and absorb precious resources. Combined with the need to innovate in a highly competitive environment, this is causing some insurers to withdraw from long-standing core markets and product lines.
However, insurers are adapting by leveraging technology and developing operating models that are compliant with Solvency II. New business architectures will enable insurers to release better products more quickly and cheaply.
Gain market insight
The balance of power is shifting toward the customer, and distribution models are rapidly evolving. Emerging markets in Latin America, Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe are future battlegrounds that offer big prizes – but only if insurers can get it right.
Success will be achieved with patience, long-term investment and genuine understanding of local dynamics.
- Customer agenda
The buying behaviors, attitudes and preferences of insurance customers worldwide are changing. To understand this transformation, insurers need to determine how they must adapt to attract, deepen and preserve customer relationships.

|Patient satisfaction and vision improvement after multiple surgery for recurrent retinal detachment.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15751247 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE: To assess patient satisfaction and functional status improvement after multiple surgery for recurrent retinal detachment (RRD) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) grade C. Main outcome measures included visual acuity (VA), anatomic outcome, and patients' answers to a standardized multiple-choice questionnaire. METHODS: The authors retrospectively reviewed records of patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for RRD with PVR grade C operated between 1997 and 1999. All included patients underwent a standardized telephone interview aimed at assessing the patients' visual performance and satisfaction. Statistical analysis used Wilcoxon signed-rank test, Mann-Whitney rank sum test, and Spearman rank correlation coefficient. p Values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The population study included 62 patients with an average 19+/-4.1 months follow-up. The average number of operations was 2.9+/-0.7 with 1.45+/-0.50 recurrences. At the end of the study, 40/62 eyes had better than 5/400 vision and 14/62 better than 20/200; 2 patients had no light perception and 5 eyes still had RRD. Questionnaire answers yielded the following results: 61% believed their VA was better than before surgery, 13% the same, and 26% worse. Fifty-two percent noticed an improvement in binocular vision versus 35% stable and 13% worse: 84% thought their result had been worth the operation, 15% did not, and 2% did not know. Ninety percent believed the information they received before surgery was accurate. Results exceeded expectations in 35% of cases and matched them in 26%. Increase in binocular visual performance after intervention was significant for clothing, bathing, and home deambulation, climbing steps, watching TV, and reading, but not for car driving. The difference in VA improvement in satisfied and unsatisfied patients was significant. There was no significant correlation between patients' satisfaction and fellow-eye vision. CONCLUSIONS: The sample population showed a high rate of satisfaction and significant subjective improvement on four out of five tested activities, despite multiple surgeries and overall poor outcome, even in patients with a good VA in fellow eye. Many other factors such as visual field and contrast sensitivity improvement, not investigated by the authors, can play an important role in the visual functional status. Correct and extensive patient information remains critical in such settings.

We have studied the polarized resolved photoluminescence in an n-type resonant tunneling diode (RTD) of GaAs/AlGaAs which incorporates a layer of InAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) in the center of a GaAs quantum well (QW). We have observed that the QD circular polarization degree depends on applied voltage and light intensity. Our results are explained in terms of the tunneling of minority carriers into the QW, carrier capture by InAs QDs and bias-controlled density of holes in the QW.

Last night started off great.
Both my girls sleeping peacefully in THEIR OWN BEDS.
It's been a rough week. We've all been sick with the relentless cough that's going around. (If you have little ones chances are you know what I'm talking about.)
I swear I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow.
And then, at about midnight, sure enough I hear the sound of little feet coming down the hall.
My 4-year-old crawled in first. And then an hour later here comes the 2-year-old.
Four people in one bed is just too much for me, so I got up and moved into my daughter's bed…only to find that the bed had been wet. So what does a mom do? The baby's bed is a toddler bed so that's not an option.
So instead I strategically position myself on the dry side of the wet bed. The whole night being so careful not to move.
It wasn't long before the baby came looking for me again. She found me. But where was she going to go? Turns out right on top of me!
I am so looking forward to good sleep tonight!

Experience authentic Eastern flavours in this bustling and vibey restaurant.
The interior is beautifully decorated with luxuriously soft, comfortable seats and quaint little cruet sets all over. The lighting is soft and creates an atmosphere conducive to kicking back and relaxing.
This traditional Asian eatery offers a wide variety of items on its menu. The house speciality is the lamb - slow-cooked fall-off-the-bone meat that melts in your mouth and is served on a cast-iron plate that brings out a real sizzle. Other recommended dishes are the sweet and sour chicken and the crispy duck, both beautifully prepared and infused with authentic flavours. Throw in a side of vegetable noodles and you've got a meal fit for a king. For vegetarians there are various alternatives, including the amazing bean tofu - a must-try.
Beijing Orchard is fully licensed and diners can enjoy a good bottle of wine at a reasonable price. All in all, the flavours of the East blend beautifully here.
Jade Court is already 'part of the restaurant furniture' in the Tyger Valley area and there is a reason for this. They constantly deliver great Chinese cuisine, excellent service and reasonable prices.
Here you can relax in the inside or outside dining areas and take in the simple, oriental-style décor.
The menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. Try the delectable steamed pork dumplings, or the traditional and tasty spring rolls. Deep-fried chicken wings and sweet corn clusters make for good starters or sides.
The traditional fare is definitely worth a try, like the Shanghai steak and the beef chop suey. The Mandarin-style steak is also fantastic.
A giant sushi menu is available and platters can be organized. Regular events, like the sushi making courses, are arranged and is worth enquiring about.
Tried and tested, this restaurant won't go anywhere soon.
Taiwan City is the ideal place to have great Asian food in a trendy but relaxed setting. The ambience is cheerful, and so is the interior.
Taiwan City offers buffet-style eating as well as alfresco dining. Here you will enjoy delicious seafood, traditional Chinese dishes, awesome sushi combinations and much more. Try the vegetable spring rolls served with a sweet chilli and garlic sauce and the traditional favourite, sweet and sour chicken or pork. Their pan-fried pork dumplings are a must and with desserts like chocolate spring rolls and ice cream you simply can't go wrong.
The quality of the food is top notch and the prices extremely reasonable. The restaurant is also family friendly and provides a great venue for private functions. Taiwan City is open seven days a week from 11am until 10pm.
This beautiful, funky, contemporary restaurant is situated in Century City and is open from Monday to Saturday for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Here you will find loads of wine and beer specials, live entertainment, sports day specials accompanied with an awesome vibe every Saturday, and a great function venue for private get-togethers.
The menu is simple but extensive and all dishes are very reasonably priced. Diners can find anything from wraps, sandwiches, and burgers to delicious filling breakfasts on the menu. A definite must-try is the classic favourite, Steak, Egg and Chips, comfort food at its best. Other traditional dishes include mash and peas, fish and chips, chicken cordon blue and the pasta of the day.
If it is a great vibe, reasonable prices, friendly service and hearty food you are after, this is the place to go.

@Worsethananoob - "...seems to be the only rider who has ever got his head round the electronically assisted Moto gp class..."
Almost a balanced post for you, however you have a small but important point misrepresented - Stoner uses less traction control than anyone else on the grid. He uses manual throttle control, a skill learned from dirt track racing.
The traction control junkie is Valentino "This upgrade on my M1 is so good, it's almost like cheating". The Ducati electronics aren't as good as the Yamaha. Probably another cause of the mis-match of Rossi with Ducati.

So if you're thinking about either increasing your class sizes and want to hire a preschool assistant, or you're thinking about transitioning out of being the preschool teacher/director and want to hire a preschool teacher instead, then this guide should really help you!
Two years ago I was in the same position, asking myself: "How in the world do I hire a preschool teacher?" You see, I had just found out I was pregnant with my daughter. And at the time, I was a one-woman show: the director, the teacher, the business owner… But I was teaching full-time (M-F 9-2:30 p.m. each day) and realized it might be difficult to teach while taking care of a brand new baby. After all, the preschoolers need a teacher who can devote her full attention to them! So I asked myself the question: "How do I hire a preschool teacher?"
But that question didn't stop there, and I soon found myself asking:
- Where do I advertise?
- What should I put in the listing?
- What should I look for in an applicant?
- How can I learn more about the applicants?
- What should I do in an interview?
- What kinds of legal forms do I have to file?
- And once I hire a preschool teacher, how will I KEEP my teacher!?!
Now, I didn't know it at the time, but KEEPING my teacher was the absolute most important question I should have been thinking at the time, not how do I hire a preschool teacher! Because I soon found out that you can get the best teacher out there, but if you can't keep her, you risk your preschool parents rebelling and your preschool falling apart! After hiring my first teacher, she ended up leaving just five months later! So what did I do wrong??? I was a great employer who simply wanted to hire a preschool teacher. I paid her well, praised her constantly, and made her job as simple as possible. But none of that mattered when it came down to the truth of why she left: she needed a full time job with benefits… and I couldn't give that to her.
Now, thankfully, my parents didn't rebel and my preschool didn't fall apart, but the fact of the matter is: IT COULD HAVE. And yours could, too, if you don't follow some important strategies that will help you hire a preschool teacher who will not only improve your preschool program, but who will also be loyal to your preschool program.
So with that in mind, let's answer the questions above for you in your search to hire a preschool teacher, all the while remembering that our primary goal is to get a preschool teacher THAT STAYS!
And as always, please understand that this information was gleaned through my own experience when I wanted to hire a preschool teacher and might not be true for you. So please take what you can out of it and meld it to your own needs.
When I thought about how I should hire a preschool teacher, I knew I needed to advertise and get the word out first. My favorite place to advertise is Craigslist, because it's free. Out of the entire Boise area when I posted my ad on Craigslist, I received around 100 applications. Out of those 100, only about 50 were worth considering.
That being said, when you try to hire a preschool teacher on Craigslist, the only people who will see your ad are people looking on Craigslist for jobs, so you're not guaranteed to get a huge response. If you want to receive more applications (or if you don't have Craigslist in your area) you can always advertise in the newspaper classifieds section. If you're going to advertise in the newspaper, though, you won't be able to write as much as you'd like, so I would suggest referring candidates to a website where you've written the job description and requirements.
I also recommend that if you want to hire a preschool teacher that you personally know, that you start talking to your family members, friends, neighbors, and anyone in your community. But a little caveat here: Don't say you're interested in THEM specifically, just say, "I'm looking for a preschool teacher, so if you, or anyone you know, wants to apply, let me know." Then have them apply just like everyone else. That way you don't feel bad about saying they don't get the job… it simply comes down to the matter of someone else having better qualifications then they do.
What Should I Put In the Advertisement?
When you're writing your ad to hire a preschool teacher, be simple, be concise, and above all else: be specific about what you want! After all, you can't very well get what you forgot to ask for, can you?
You'll want to state these 6 things:
- Your name, your preschool's name, website, address, and your email address
- Their job title (Preschool Teacher, or Preschool Assistant)
- Work hours (Put in your preschool hours, remember to say it runs Sept.-May, with holidays off)
- Compensation (I pay my preschool teacher $13-14/hr. depending on education and experience)
- Duties (What will your preschool teacher do? Teach, write curriculum, etc.)
- How to apply (They should email you with their cover letter addressing WHY they will stay at your preschool for a long time, and their resume should address WHY they would make a great preschool teacher)
What Should I Look For In An Applicant?
I told you earlier that you want to hire a preschool teacher you can KEEP, so the first thing you should look for when you hire a preschool teacher is their LENGTH OF TIME WORKING ON A JOB! When you're searching their work history, be sure to look not only for what types of positions they've held in the past, but also the length of the time they've spent at each job. If you have two applicants who are on the same playing field in education and experience, but one has worked with 5 different employers over the past 5 years, and the other one has worked with only one employer for the past 5 years, guess who you should probably hire?
That's right… when I hire a preschool teacher, I place a LOT of bonus points on someone who's stayed at a particular job for a long time because it shows me two things: That person is loyal to the employer (and therefore will probably be loyal to me and STAY) and that person probably did a good job (and therefore will probably do a good job for me.)
Of the other two things to look at, you'll want to look at their type of Employment and Education. An ideal candidate would have several years of experience teaching preschool and a Bachelor degree in Early Childhood Education. I've also seen that college students in the middle of their ECE degrees are excellent preschool teachers because they have so much passion and excitement for implementing the activities/practices/teaching methods they are learning right then. When I'm looking to hire a preschool teacher, I go first to the college students!
That being said, I also realize that someone with a love for children, an ability to be teachable, and a desire to educate herself in age-appropriate learning methods could still make a wonderful teacher. Just remember that you're going to hire a preschool teacher, so why not pay someone whose education and experience can help your preschool look even better to prospective parents?
How can I learn more about the applicants?
Before you hold interviews to hire a preschool teacher, you'll want to narrow down your candidates to a list of your top 10. At that point, contact those candidates and setup a time for them to come interview (I like to schedule interviews every 45 minutes) and I also request that they fill out a Preschool Questionnaire that they email back to me before their interview. In the questionnaire, I like to ask the questions below, but feel free to modify the questions to fit your own needs.
- Describe your dream job. This will tell you what they need out of a job… full-time employment, benefits, different position, etc. It should help you find out if they will be fine with being a preschool teacher for several years.
- What is one of your greatest achievements? This helps you see where their priorities lie.
- Have you ever run your own in-home daycare, preschool or childcare? If Yes, please tell me about your experience. Very important… most likely if someone has owned their own business they're not likely to settle for just being a preschool teacher. Because when you hire a preschool teacher, that's exactly what you want.
- Please write down all your levels of education achieved and the year achieved, beginning with H.S. Sometimes they don't list everything on their resume.
- Do you have a current CPR/1st Aid Certification?
- Do you feel more comfortable teaching 3-year-olds, 4-year-olds, or both, and why? If someone is great with younger children but struggles with reigning in older children, you need to know that.
- How many years would you like to see yourself dedicating to our preschool? Again, here is the loyalty question.
- Please explain why you chose your answer to question #7. This helps to understand why they will or won't stay a long time.
- Have you ever taught preschool by yourself? If so, how many children were in the class and for how many months or years did you teach by yourself? If not, how many children were in the class, how many adults were teaching the class, and were you the lead or assistant teacher? If you're going to hire a preschool teacher so you can transition out of being the preschool teacher role, and your teacher will be the only one with the children, you need to know that he/she feels confident in that position.
- Please tell me about your experience with teaching from curriculum that you have created yourself or curriculum that is already existing. Which do you prefer teaching from? A lot of teachers like to create their own curriculum, but you still need to know that you can give her your guidelines and she'll stay within those guidelines.
- Please briefly tell me about all of your experience with children ages 3-5 and why you like that age group. This should help show his/her love for children.
- Are you currently employed? If Yes, why are you looking for another job? Also incredibly important, as you don't want to hire a preschool teacher who will turn around a few months later and look for another job.
What Should I Do In An Interview?
The next step when you're going to hire a preschool teacher is to interview each candidate. I recommend spacing each interview about 45 minutes from each other, but keeping each interview under 30 minutes so you still have time to write notes and prepare for the next candidate. If the interviews will be held in your home, remind the candidates to come at the specified time, and not earlier, as you will be interviewing other candidates. (I had one candidate come an hour and a half early when I was trying to feed my brand new baby! NOT OK!)
I like to ask a few generic questions to each candidate like:
- As you look around this room, please tell me one or two things that could possibly injure a child while at preschool? This is GREAT, as you'll quickly weed out the people who are used to babies and not preschoolers, because they'll say things like "Well, that toy could be put in a child's mouth," or "You need a gate up so a child doesn't fall down that step." You can't hire a preschool teacher that keeps treating the children like babies.
- What would you do if… Give several different examples of a problem that could happen at preschool and ask for a response.
- Why should I hire you? That's right, be bold, and see how they respond. Are they confident or timid in their response? Confident people can probably handle preschool crises better than timid people.
I also ask questions specific to each candidate based on questions I had with their resume, cover letter, or questionnaire. These questions might include:
- Why did you leave your previous job?
- What did you like -and dislike- about your previous employer?
- What did you mean when you said…
After each interview, write down any comments and immediate gut feelings you have about each candidate. When you're trying to hire a preschool teacher, these gut feelings are important! Because most likely, those gut feelings will also be felt by your preschool parents as they interact with your new preschool teacher!
Narrow it down to the top 3 candidates, and if you want, do a follow-up interview on the phone with them if you need any last questions answered. Or, even better, have them come in and do a mock lesson plan for 30 minutes for your preschool class! Remember, after you hire a preschool teacher, you can always teach them what to teach… you CAN'T teach them how to teach to a preschooler's level, how to love children, or how to be more patient. So those qualities are even more important than WHAT they actually teach.
What kinds of legal forms do I have to file?
That's right, if you hire a preschool teacher, you'll be filing some legal forms so you keep everything on the up-and-up with Uncle Sam and the good ol' IRS! Although this question alone deserves another 5-page guide (perhaps I'll do one soon!) I'll give you the basic gist:
Your employee will need to fill out:
- Employee Contract: You can make one up but be sure to include Employer information, Job Title, Time Commitment, Compensation, and Duties
- Form W-4: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf
- Form I-9: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf
If you're licensed, your employee will also probably need to:
- Get CPR/1st Aid Certified
- Pass a Background Check
And remember, now that you'll be paying wages, you'll also need to deduct payroll taxes from your teacher's paycheck each month. A good idea of how much you'll REALLY be paying is to think of adding a dollar of taxes onto your employee's hourly wage. For instance, if I pay my teacher $13/hr., I'll really be paying about $14/hr. after I pay payroll taxes. You can plan on paying:
- Medicare/FICA Taxes
- Social Security Taxes
- Unemployment Taxes
You might also need to withhold Federal and State Income from their paychecks. The best thing to do is to contact your state's tax commission and tell them you're thinking about hiring an employee. They'll tell you all you need from there!
How Will I KEEP My Teacher?
Yes, you can be a great employer, pay wages on time, and generally make the job as easy as possible. BUT… you've got to go a step BEYOND that by being an EXTRAORDINARY employer! You've got to be the kind of employer that an employee WANTS to be loyal to, and wants to continue working with! I've found that these simple ideas below will help keep your teacher loyal to you, and hopefully will help you keep your teacher as long as you both enjoy working together:
- Give Bonuses! I love to give bonuses to my teacher around every other month or so. Usually a month into the new preschool year, at Christmas time, for her birthday, right before preschool ends, and a signing bonus when she commits to teach another year. I won't divulge how much I give out on the bonuses, but I always consider how much I think would be a great bonus, and then go with that amount.
- Give Gifts! That's right, be thoughtful! Especially give gifts on the obvious occasions, but even more important is to give gifts when they're not expecting anything.
- Write Notes or Emails! Keep the communication always open.
- Praise, Praise, Praise! Anytime you think your teacher has done a great job, and especially when he/she has gone above and beyond the job duties, praise your teacher!
- Ask Questions! Find out what parts of the job are enjoyable to your teacher, and if there are parts that he/she would rather not do. If you're fine with taking on those duties, great. If not, find out a way to make them more enjoyable to your teacher.
I hope this incredibly LENGTHY guide helps you in your search to hire a preschool teacher! Let me know if I left anything out, or if you have any more questions for me! I always love your comments!
– Joy

- $20 (US, estimated)
My mom gave me a copy of this book when I moved into my first apartment, and I've carted it around with me ever since. While it looks like a Martha Stewart knock-off from the cover, the real story is told in the subtitle: "the art and science of keeping house." Written by a law professor with a secret fetish for domestic order, it literally covers everything to do with keeping your house ship shape. No task is too small or seemingly too obvious (and after author Cheryl Mendelson gets through with it, the obvious always turns out to be dizzyingly complex). It's a fascinating read, and a great reference; by the time you're through with the subject you looked up, you truly do understand both the art and the science behind it.
Kevin Kelly has a great review of it on his Cool Tools site, too.
Available in both paperback and hardback. I prefer the hardback, even though it's a little more spendy; this is a big tome and it's nice to have it feel solid.

In my recent On the Market column "The 100-Hour Plus Trading Day", I wrote about the evolving view of chart analysis due to expanded hours. In the piece I concluded that weekly charts are now creating more reliable signals than daily charts, with the latter becoming what intra-day studies used to be.
This blog is going to look at signals generated on weekly charts as compared to what was discussed on September 1 when looking at the monthly corn chart. Recall that no clear bearish signal had been established in corn, yet the market looked to be putting in a possible top.
Contrast that with what we see on the weekly chart for November soybeans. The contract remains in a solid uptrend, having posted a new high of $17.71 1/4 during last week's trade. However, the contract is also sharply overbought as indicated by weekly stochastics (fourth study, or second from the bottom) well above 90% (the 80% level usually marks an overbought market). Also, market volatility (third study) is elevated, coming in at almost 24.7%.
High prices and elevated volatility is not a good combination for pulling new buying interest into any market. Note that the noncommercial long futures position (bottom study) decreased the week ending Tuesday, August 28 as traders begin to pocket some of their recent gains. Given this combination of factors noncommercial selling could increase in coming weeks regardless of the continued inverse in the nearby futures spread (second study, green line) that shows a bullish commercial outlook.
Note that there are still no bearish technical signals to indicate the trend is set to turn. The only thing we have at this point is a situation where factors show the market is vulnerable to a selloff, and then if a signal is established initial support would be pegged more than $2.00 lower near $14.48. This price marks the 38.2% retracement level of the current uptrend from $9.25 1/2 through this past week's high.
Therefore, this chart does not make a strong case either way, but does show how certain factors can be used to warn of possible market turns.

At Nordstroms today, I tried on this dress.
It looked great except the bust didn't fit (no surprise, I've got F cups) and it was too snug in the thighs (I've got F-cups there too.)
But other than that, It's a pretty flattering dress and I'm hoping to knock it off. Has anyone seen a similar pattern? I really like the ruched princess seam/french dart (the models hands cover a seam.) The Adrianna Pappel dress is made out of a ponte knit, but I think I'd like to use a stretch wool I've got in my stash. -- Edited on 8/23/10 9:33 PM --
Scooters are my bag, baby.
Hmmm, not sure. Amazing dress. Try to ignore the ruching and look for a dress on similar lines. It's easy enough to change the pattern for ruching later.
------http://3hourspast.com- Vintage Style, Sewing, and Ethical Fashion
You might find something by searching through vintage patterns on ebay, etsy and the internet in general. The cut looks very "modern with hints of the late 50's" to me.
What a beautiful dress. I don't know how to copy it, but maybe a sheath with ruched princess side panels morphed with a tucked version of Vogue 1183 for the neckline? -- Edited on 8/24/10 3:02 AM --
Wow,,,, I want that dress, too. PLEASE sombody help us to copy it!!!!!!
I have an impression that there have been patterns with that ruching/seaming in several issues of Burda World of Fashion magazine, but since I don't normally do dresses, I didn't make a point of noting the issues.
You might try posting your question under topics which include Burda in their subject line.
It makes me think of the lovechild of V8633 (with a lower neckline) and V8603.
And I agree, it's completely stunning !
------Meet me at : prettycrocodile.blogspot.com
No suggestions, but just a comment that that is a really beautiful dress, I saw a RTW dress last year that was similar, with the folded pleats up at the neckline.
Go patterns sleeveless dres
looks like it has some similar lines.
I think Vogue 1156 blended with V8594 might be a good start - 1156 has the pleated neckline and the front/side panels, and 8594 has the empire waist thing going on. You could take the neckline from 1156 and overlay it on 8594, making extensions so it overlaps at the center front. Then use the midriff from 8594 extended onto the front panel of 1156 to get the top line of the center front below the bust, but use 1156 for the seaming. You would have to draw the curved lines on the center front and back carried over to the side seams, then treat the sides from armhole to hip as separate pieces and extend those for the ruching. Fun! It's a beautiful dress. I see they have a sleeveless version in the Plus sizes in a pretty royal blue taffeta. Very nice, both dresses. Good luck!

|Spondylodiscitis in infancy: A potentially fatal condition that can lead to major spinal complications.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23015568 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|An eight-week-old boy developed severe thoracic spondylodiscitis following pneumonia and septicaemia. A delay in diagnosis resulted in complete destruction of the T4 and T5 vertebral bodies and adjacent discs, with a paraspinal abscess extending into the mediastinum and epidural space. Antibiotic treatment controlled the infection and the abscess was aspirated. At the age of six months, he underwent posterior spinal fusion in situ to stabilise the spine and prevent progressive kyphosis. At the age of 13 months, repeat imaging showed lack of anterior vertebral body re-growth and he underwent anterior spinal fusion from T3 to T6 and augmentation of the posterior fusion. At the age of five years, he had no symptoms and radiographs showed bony fusion across the affected levels. Spondylodiscitis should be included in the differential diagnosis of infants who present with severe illness and atypical symptoms. Delayed diagnosis can result in major spinal complications with a potentially fatal outcome.

(AP) — Apple says its redesigned iMacs will go on sale Friday.
Both models of the iMac, the 21.5-inch and the 27-inch, will go on sale on Apple's online store. The smaller model will also be available at Apple retail stores and Apple resellers, the company said on its website Tuesday.
For now, the 27-inch model will be sold only online and will begin shipping sometime in December, the company said.
The new iMacs, which were unveiled on Oct. 23, were originally announced without a definite date of availability, and there has been speculation that Apple would not be ready to launch the new iMacs because of manufacturing hiccups.
The 21.5-inch model begins pricing at $1,299 and the 27-inch starts at $1,799. Some of the new features include an LCD screen, 45 percent thinner display and a faster processor.

The doctor took a look and decided I should stop taking Citalopram immediately (too early to have withdrawal effects apparently) in case it was something that wouldn't subside. He was hesitant to try another SSRI in case it was the same. He did mention my penicillin allergy when deciding what to try next but I don't know how relevant this is? He already knew about my allergy before he prescribed me Citalopram. As far as I know, that's the only medication I was allergic to.
I've started on Dosulepin now. 25mg, to be increased to 50g after a week.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar/or any skin reaction while taking this medication as my doctor seemed pretty surprised at it..?

November 29, 2015
Huntington, W.Va. (AP) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it's awarded $2.9 million in contracts for inspections of levees and flood walls in West Virginia.
The agency says inspections in its Huntington district are expected to start next month and continue through spring.
While levees and flood walls undergo operations and maintenance inspections annually, the Corps says this winter's inspections are more rigorous.
Money for the inspections was included in the $787 billion federal stimulus plan.

'Playful' bird of prey taken into captivity
Posted: November 22, 2012|
An eagle owl with a 6ft wingspan has been captured after people in a North Devon street complained it was terrorising them and their pets. But the decision to take the huge raptor into captivity has divided opinion in Northam. While some welcomed the move, saying the owl was attacking people, others said the bird was just being playful. Police were called to investigate whether the owl had been caught legally. The eagle owl is thought to be the same bird which has been seen in a number of places in North Devon since September last year.

Megan Fox, Jennifer's Body Comic PreviewMeh
I gotta say I am completely un-impressed with the new cover art for the Jennifers Body Comic Book. It is the definition of boring. Check it out below courtesy of STYD. Below it is art that we shared earlier with you all.
Fox Atomic is teaming up with BOOM studios to release a trade paperback to tie-in with the movie. Below is the small blurb about the book from the official website:
The movie event of the Fall is the comic book event of this Summer! JUNO's award-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody brings you JENNIFER'S BODY starring Megan Fox as a demonically-possessed cheerleader with a taste for killing teenage boys! In this original graphic novel that ties into the movie and expands on its universe, BLACK METAL's Rick Spears brings you even more hellish Jennifer stories with art by HACK/SLASH's Tim Seely, KICK DRUM COMIX' Jim Mahfood, DMZ's Nikki Cook, and POPGUN's Ming Doyle.
Jennifer's Body will be hitting theaters on September 18th and it looks like the book will be in comic shops sometime in August.

Hello! Happy Saturday! I had some time to play this morning.. I saw this great sketch on the MFT Forum at Splitcoast (MFTWSC11032010), so I decided to pull out one of the Pure Innocence images and play along.
I stamped and colored up this sweet image (which seems to be out of stock right now, but here's a link to the rest of the Pure Innocence cuties). I took a plain Maya Road chipboard snowflake, colored it with a Copic marker and sprayed it with some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist. I added a bubble pearl to the center of it. Here's a detail shot where you can see a bit of the shimmer:
I also finished off the inside of the card:
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enclosed trailer?
Dear Florida/Southeast NSXers...
I'm gauging interest in hiring a car hauler to take NSXs to Colorado for NSXPO 2012 in September.
ChicNSX is already on board.
Anyone else?
We'll need about 10 cars to make this feasible financially. My guess is about $1900 round trip.
Enclosed trailer?
2005 Silverstone Metallic / Onyx - Stock
Wei- Shen please let us know what carrier you may use,if we could fill another truck from the NE maybe a 2 truck discount could be possible.
FYI: I got a quote from the NY area with Intercity for 7 NSXs at $9,095 one way including $595 fuel surcharge. I thought 7 was the max number of NSXs that could fit in an enclosed trailer?
Galapagos Islands
NSXCA Member #1048
NSXCA Secretary
Since there are a few of us trying to put together enclosed trailers, I will contact the NSXPO2012 committee to see if Flatiron Acura, the sponsoring dealer, would be able to hook us up with transport since they may be able to get more favorable rates.
Perhaps we should move all these threads to NSXPO2012 thread?
I am not looking forward to following a semi all the way there.
is anyone gonna drive up from Florida in their NSX.
I will guard the semi all the way there with my life and Glock
Wei Shen,
We would be interested.
05 Red/BLK
I am interested.
Im interested also.
2014 Honda Odyssey EX-L w/RES (family hauler),
2010 Jaguar XF 5.0 (wife's), 2008 Lexus IS-F (DD),
2004 Honda Pilot (cant sell, too sentimental),
1995 Acura NSX-T, 1990 Nissan R32 Skyline
Bob, you are correct that 7 is the most you can fit in an enclosed trailer. We had 10 in an open trailer to NSXPO 2003 in San Fran.
I will get specific quotes for both enclosed and open trailers this week. Stay tuned. Have used Intercity in the past and happy with their service.
I would prefer enclosed trailer.
'03 TL Type S - Anthracite Metallic
'09 CBR 600RR w/ABS - Black
I like the idea too. It was a long drive back from Tucson and going both ways to Denver isn't too appealing.
Are you looking one way or round trip, Wei-Shen?
Oh, and it doesn't have to be enclosed for me.

I have a firm quote from Intercity. Enclosed trailer holding 7 NSXs.
$8025 each way total cost.
That would be $2293 per car roundtrip. More than open trailer but only $390. Worth it in my opinion.
Pick up would be Orlando (site TBA) probably 3 days prior to NSXPO start (likely Sept.10). Return to Orlando probably Sept.21 (pick up after track event on Sept.18)
If these dates are not what the group wants, let's find ones that are.
Once I have all the final details I will start collecting deposits. We need a FIRM committment or else this won't fly...
Doc John....not sure if we can get a two truck discount...but I will ask....
Would like to have a couple of days either before or after NSXPO to do some touring. Is it possible to leave or return two days earlier or later? Don't know if storage of vehicles for arrival/transport in Denver would allow for that.
We'll probably need to talk to the local hosting Acura dealer. Probably the only place we can safely leave cars for those not arriving until later.
I just received an update email from Intercity. They need 5-7 days to transport to Denver...not 3. So we would need to pick up cars no later than Sept.8 and earlier of there is a desire to drive around prior to the event.
I've managed to schedule some appointments and will be driving out on my own. Looking forward to seeing you guys there.

I am doing some work with the car movers and I am going to see if I can get you a better deal than what has been quoted.
Stay tuned..

Here is what I got back.
Looks like we can do the Orlando to Denver car trailer move for $6800. 7 cars enclosed or 10 open trailer.

yeah when I get pulled over I flip my wallet out and always show the permit first so they know there is a gun in the car.
as for other states I dont show them the permit first I hand them my license and close my wallet
I've had a long detailed discussion with Bob Rorhing from the transport company Acme Car Shipping based out of Denver.
7 cars, enclosed trailer, $6800 each way.
Takes 5-6 days to get to Denver.
They have a storage facility in Auburn, not far from the airport.
This means you can take a cab from the airport to the lot and pick up your car.
It also means that if you want to drop off your car on Sunday because you are not attending the track event, you can.
For those attending the track event, we can drop off our cars on Tuesday evening or Wednesday am (depending on our flight arrangements)
Let's decide which day we need the cars to arrive in Denver. My recommendation is Tuesday or Wednesday of NSXPO week. If earlier, we're OK. If later by one day, we're OK. If you want to fly there a day earlier and pick up your car you can.
I will pay for the transport. I will be shipping two cars, possibly three (2 NSXs and my R8 GT). My recommendation is that we select a location on the west side of Orlando (say Ocoee or Windermere) and drop off the cars. The carrier will then get on the turnpike and head northwest towards Denver. There is a huge Manheim Auction facility in Ocoee and everybody is used to seeing carriers full of cars.
So....next step, I need to collect $$. $1000 deposit (check is fine) needs to be mailed to me:
Wei-Shen Chin
1312 Lake Whitney Dr.
Windermere, FL 34786
[email protected]
When I receive your check, your spot is confirmed. The remaining balance will be due two weeks before we leave, approx Sept. 7.
Any questions, please email, text or call me!
Looks like it will be a fabulous NSXPO!
OK everyone, let's get this organized.
As of today I have FOUR NSXs committed with deposits paid.
1) ChicNSX
2) David Moore
There are 3 spots left. $1000 deposit required. Balance due the week before we depart.
Alright everyone. It's now early May and I have only 4 cars committed and paid for.
I am setting a deadline of May 30. If you're interested in being part of this transporter and have NOT yet contacted me and paid your deposit, I need to hear from you in the next three weeks. Call/text me at 407-832-0176. Do not PM me from this site as I do not always check this address.
If we are not able to fill up the transporter, alternate arrangements will need to be made which would be a real bummer.....

Some pretty interesting numbers have recently come from Statcounter Global regarding the BlackBerry Browser activity in the UK. SeekingAlpha reports that since the Z10's availability in the UK, BlackBerry's mobile vendor market share has risen at a gain of 21.7% in three months. This has directly affected Apple, as they have dropped from 49.46% to 46.59% in the same time period.
BlackBerry's new BlackBerry 10 platform has definitely had a negative impact on Apple, as the iPhone's design and OS have shown to become rather redundant to consumers as they hold off on buying a new model that functions very much like the others, but with slight improvements.
Are you an iPhone user turned BlackBerry? Let us know in the comments below!

Everybody already knows that jet fuel can't melt steel beams.
However, perhaps you didn't know that a team at the Naval Research Laboratories in Florida has successfully developed a technology that synthesizes jet fuel from only sea water and electricity.
With all of their ships and planes, the navy has a huge need of both diesel and jet fuel. Unfortunately, many of the regions that contain large sources of petroleum, have…how shall I say…political interests highly contrary to those of the United States. So sending an oiler supply vessel to shore to find a petroleum source could be a very hazardous strategic move in a conflict and might leave our ships dead in the water or forced to return home. This strategic achilles heel for the navy is bad, but the fuel is also increasingly expensive (cost of fuel for the navy rose from $0.63/gal in 2000 to $3.75/gal in 2013, and effectively costs over $7.00/gal to deliver to the vessels) not to mention environmentally disastrous.… Read the rest

Labor has called on the government to stand the acting Crime and Corruption Commission chair aside to prove the Premier is "true to his word".
Campbell Newman promised to return the need for bi-partisan support to apply to the head of the corruption watchdog on Monday.
Ken Levy, the acting head of the commission set to remain in the role until October, does not enjoy the support of Labor.
Dr Levy is the subject of a select ethics committee probe into whether he deliberately misled a parliamentary committee.
Mr Newman said Labor would have its chance to peruse candidates following the formal recruitment process.
"The Opposition will have their say in that and they will have to ultimately, essentially they'll have a right of veto," Mr Newman told 612 ABC Brisbane on Wednesday morning.
"But I hope they can be sensible about it. I call for them to do the right thing in approaching this and I would assume that they would."
But Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk said it was not enough.
"Actions speak louder than words," she said.
"If the Premier was truly serious about listening to Queenslanders he would immediately stand aside the acting chair of the corruption watchdog in Queensland.
"...If the Premier is true to his word, if the Premier was really listening now, after Stafford, he needs to act immediately and the chair should stand aside.
"It is very simple. All the Premier needs to do is pick up the phone and talk to me. I am happy to discuss it."

Cattle Welfare at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine
The School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis addresses welfare issues of food animals by delivering education and conducting research on campus and throughout the state. School faculty also contribute their expertise to state and national veterinary associations, commodity groups, non-profit welfare organizations, consumers, and public policy makers in an effort to advance the health and well-being of animals in our local communities and globally.
The Veterinary Medicine Teaching and Research Center (VMTRC) in Tulare is a hub for hands-on training of veterinary students and veterinarians who specialize in dairy production medicine. Gaining practical experience and participating in discussions of current topics, students learn up-to-date welfare practices and veterinary health aspects of dairy production.
Veterinary faculty members based at the center provide clinical services and herd health management consultations. The veterinarians recently completed on-farm evaluations of animal care and well-being on more than 200 California dairies that are members of a national dairy cooperative. The evaluation process was developed as part of the National Dairy FARM Program: Farmers Assuring Responsible Management™.
Faculty at the Dairy Food Safety Laboratory, also in Tulare, and the VMTRC have published several educational guides for on-farm euthanasia of cattle when compromised health requires a humane solution.
On-Farm Livestock Euthanasia (2004) La Eutanasia Del Ganado En Granja Euthanasia Action Plan Plan De Acción De Euthanasia http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/vetext/animalwelfare/
The center has delivered several educational workshops to train veterinarians and producers in the proper use of captive bolt devices for humane euthanasia of cattle.
Faculty veterinarian Sharif Aly is now conducting advanced scientific research to further refine procedures for improved application of captive bolt devices when used on the farm.
Faculty veterinarian Terry Lehenbauer, director of the Veterinary Medicine Teaching and Research Center, also represents the American Association of Bovine Practitioners on the Animal Agriculture Liaison Committee of the American Veterinary Medical Association, which advises the AVMA's Executive Board on food animal health and welfare policies.
Veterinarian Michael Payne of the Western Institute for Food Safety and Security has developed and implemented several programs of the California Dairy Quality Assurance Program (CDQAP), an outreach educational program for dairy producers funded by the California Dairy Research Foundation. His team has provided a six-hour training program for over 800 field staff and other dairy industry representatives throughout California's Central Valley on topics such as welfare, care, food safety, transport and environmental quality.
This program introduced producers to the FARM program and helped them prepare for on-farm evaluation of welfare on their dairies. Participants received materials and in-person presentations regarding best management practices for calf care, transport, feed and water quality, and euthanasia. To date, more than 1,000 California dairies have been evaluated in this program (including the 200 mentioned above), and that number continues to climb.
All the handouts used in the workshops may be downloaded at http://cdrf.org/home/checkoff-investments/cdqap/animal-care-the-cdqap/animal-care-farm-resource-binder/
Payne's group also has mailed cattle welfare educational materials to every dairy producer in California, including UC Davis materials focused on cattle transportation and on-farm euthanasia. He is also one of the faculty team members who have trained veterinarians, producers and first responders regarding the application of appropriate euthanasia methods.
The school's Center for Food Animal Health is the focus for collaborative educational and research projects on the health and well-being of food animals. The center has funded dairy welfare projects such as research into nutritional reconditioning of cull cows for beef. Recently the Center for Food Animal Health published Cattle Care Standards: Recommendations for Meeting California Legal Requirements. The publication was developed as a resource for California law enforcement officials, many of whom do not have veterinary or animal science backgrounds, and the cattle industry in addressing neglect and cruelty of cattle by providing recommended minimum standards of care pertinent to contemporary animal cruelty statutes.
The free booklet is available in pdf form at http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/cfah/local-assets/pdfs/Cattle_Care_Standards.pdf or http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/vetext/animalwelfare
Carolyn Stull, PhD, a diplomate in the American College of Animal Welfare Sciences, is the Veterinary Medicine Extension Specialist in animal welfare. She has led scientific reviews of the causes and prevention of non-ambulatory cows and the justification for the practice of tail docking. The latter has been widely cited and is credited with having led the way to California's elimination of tail docking and the National Milk Producers Federation's listing of tail docking as an unacceptable practice. She has also published research on the effects of weather events and housing on mortality and lactation in dairy cattle. Stull is a member of the committee writing the OIE (international) standards for transport of agricultural animals and the current chair of the Scientific Committee for Certified Humane, a national animal welfare certification program for food products. Stull has conducted workshops for animal control officers located in counties throughout California on cattle care, nutrition, handling, euthanasia, and transport.
Stull is the lead author of "A Review of the Causes, Prevention, and Welfare of Nonambulatory Cattle," published in 2007 by the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, http://avmajournals.avma.org/doi/pdf/10.2460/javma.231.2.227
Among her outreach efforts regarding cattle well-being is a series of poster checklists, care guidelines, and articles that have been distributed to thousands of animal producers and processors throughout California. Stull has developed on-hands workshops for dairy producers and veterinarians on the captive bolt method of euthanasia. One such workshop was conducted for 200 attendees at the Third International Symposium on Management of Animal Carcasses, Tissue, and Related Byproducts: Connecting Research, Regulations, and Response –held in Davis, California, in July 2009. Stull also served as the organizer of the three days of workshops, demonstrations and poster sessions for researchers, policy makers and regulators took place to review disposal technology, planning, policy and related information. At this event, participants learned about the proper use of captive bolt devices for the humane euthanasia of livestock and horses and observed the results of an animal composting project.

John Madigan and Joanne Paul-Murphy, both faculty members based at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, are charter diplomates of the American College of Animal Welfare, announced as a new veterinary specialty in August 2012. Diplomates of this new college will design a program to educate veterinarians in the detailed knowledge and above average competence in animal welfare in all species. Members of this college will also be called upon by policy makers to provide guidance regarding the scope of legislative issues and their potential impact on animals and stakeholders http://www.acaw.org/acaw_home.html
Madigan is the director of the school's International Animal Welfare Training Institute, which facilitates training, education and dialogue for animal welfare. Among its charges is the encouragement of collaborative animal welfare research and outreach by bringing together veterinarians, animal scientists and other stakeholders to improve animal well-being. A major focus is the development of curriculum and training to educate students, veterinarians, first responders, government agency representatives and community members in emergency and disaster prevention and response methods for animals. http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/iawti/index.cfm
Through lectures and clinical training experience, the school's four-year Doctor of Veterinary Medicine professional degree curriculum prepares tomorrow's veterinarians to understand and address the well-being of animals under their care. Health topics, production issues, client communication, veterinary ethics and related topics are actively discussed in both the formal classroom and during clinics and on-farm visits.
These and other School of Veterinary Medicine programs demonstrate the school's commitment to the continued advancement of science and to the education of all members of the animal production system regarding the proper care, treatment and handling of livestock and poultry to produce safe food products available to consumers in California and elsewhere.
The school's strategic initiatives specifically identify the following objectives: Addressing pressing societal issues and sharing educational expertise and best practices locally, nationally and internationally. The efforts and activities outlined above provide the foundation for future initiatives and contributions to meaningful advances in this area of veterinary medicine.

The fragrances and Frango mints are gone now. So is the popover mixer.
And on Saturday, March 16, the last department store in downtown St. Paul will pass into history as Macy's closes its doors for a final time.
But not before a farewell nod to St. Paul.
The store will remain open until 6 p.m., "even if everything sells out," Macy's vice president Andrea Schwartz said. "That's the day of the St. Paddy's Day parade, and oftentimes our facilities are used."
But after 50 years of emerald parades and downtown shopping, the end has arrived for the store long known as Dayton's, then Marshall Field's and finally Macy's. A 10-week store-closing sale has left the store virtually empty, save for a few rugs, some furs and the odd rack of Perry Ellis men's pink sweaters.
Liquidators have been selling every bit of merchandise in the store, along with the tables, mannequins and display cases. But when the industrial-strength popover mixer was sold, clearly the end was near.
Enjoying popovers in the River Room restaurant was such a St. Paul tradition that when the popover mixer was put up for sale, it was advertised as "famous" and priced at $10,000.
Eventually, it was marked down and sold for $2,000, Schwartz said. She didn't know who bought it.
The store closing will bring other changes, including to St. Paul's downtown skyway system.
"Once we close, so will that skyway access" through the building, Schwartz said.
The only exception is the midblock Cedar Street entrance.
The store's 650-space parking ramp also will remain open.
At lunchtime Friday, a store that so often seemed empty was instead filled with shoppers -- but now it was the racks and displays that were empty. Nevertheless, a few eagle-eyed shoppers managed to find bargains.
Sara Nurmela bought a Calvin Klein sweater, a Tommy Hilfiger skirt and a blazer, all at 80 percent off. She had been watching the assortment dwindle throughout the winter and wanted one last look.
"I came to see what the end was like," she said. With Macy's closing, "there's not much other shopping down here."
As she spoke, three women left the store for the last time, then turned for a final glance.
"Bye, Macy's," one said.
The closing leaves St. Paul without a department store for the first time since the 1800s. No one has stepped forward to acquire the city-block-sized building, and St. Paul officials have sounded as if they would prefer the boxy, windowless structure to be torn down so the land could be put to other uses.
Nurmela is among those wishing Target Corp. would take an interest in the space. Another shopper, Anke Schrader, had a different suggestion.
"I'd like my old Dayton's store back," she said.
As for the store employees, Schwartz said most of them still have jobs. Of those who wanted to continue with Macy's, "a vast majority were placed" into other stores in the Twin Cities.
"I don't have full numbers," she said, "but it is definitely more than 50 people who have been placed."
Macy's announced in January that it was closing the St. Paul store, which had struggled for years. The store was originally opened in 1963, when Minneapolis-based Dayton's made its splashy entrance into the St. Paul market.
The end of the downtown department store era in St. Paul has evoked decades of memories of a faded era of elegant displays, department store Santas, buying Easter hats and fancy luncheons with grandma.
Schrader regrets the store closing, too, but sees one small silver lining.
"It's not going to cost me any more money from walking through Macy's," she said.

Apple posts iPhone upgrade guide
updated 11:10 am EDT, Mon July 7, 2008
Apple iPhone upgrade guide
Apple has posted a new support article for people upgrading from first-generation iPhones to the 3G, enabling them to carry over unique content from the original device such as notes, photos, e-mail accounts and SMS messages. The upgrade guide notes that in the US, people must use the new SIM card shipped with each 3G; in other countries, the card from the old phone will function in the new one. In either case, iTunes 7.7 or later is required.
Users are first expected to sync their 2.5G iPhone with iTunes, and run a backup of the phone's contents. The 3G device is then connected, at which point iTunes asks if users want to restore from backup or configure a new device. Finally, the 3G should restart, at which point the normal sync process should be run.
Apple warns that if files and settings are missing on the 3G, the backup has likely failed, and the 3G must have its firmware restored so the upgrade can begin again.

Thames Gateway to cost £9 billion says PM
Speaking at the Thames Gateway Forum, the prime minister also announced plans to make the Thames Gateway the UK's first-ever eco region to include a new Eco-Quarter.
The uber-green zone would see existing homes retro-fitted with green technology and the house owners would be the first to receive advice from the new Green Homes Service.
Also announced was an increase in the projected number of jobs created by the Thames Gateway – Europe's largest regeneration project – from an original figure of 180,000 to 225,000 by 2016.
The £9 billion pot will be allocated to provide more jobs, better education – including 22 new schools –an improved transport scheme and more affordable homes. The region will also gain eight new hospitals.
Housing minister Yvette Cooper said: 'Since last year the government has secured funding for major projects that are transforming the Gateway: the new deal on Crossrail, a high-speed line to London, Paris and Brussels; and London Gateway, the biggest deepwater port in Europe.
'We have already achieved a great deal but we must raise our ambitions and go further and faster.'

Homophobic venom
I eagerly look forward to the time when people will be too embarrassed to spew homophobic venom in public, as Joe Rakes did in "Exposing kids to gays" (Forum, May 25). The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community is one of the last groups that bigots feel are fair game for public ridicule.
But, really, how ridiculous it is to assume, as Rakes does, that a child raised by a loving same-sex couple is in the same jeopardy as one raised in a household where the parents are "drug abusers, alcoholics, or mentally or physically abusive"? What kind of lurid imagination conjures up these frightening and totally unscientific illusions?
Those who think like this need to calm down and learn that same-sex parents are like the rest of us equally loving, equally challenged by the difficulties of child-rearing and recognize that gay couples are growing in number and quickly becoming fully participating members of communities across the country.
Meanwhile, I caution these homophobes: Hateful remarks about gays are no more acceptable than those about African-Americans, Jews, Mormons, Hispanics, or any other minority.

Mitt Romney and the Republican National Committee outraised President Barack Obama's re-election effort for the second month in a row, according to numbers released by both campaigns Monday.
Mr. Obama and the Democratic National Committee took in $71 million in June, $35 million less than the $106 million raised by Mr. Romney and his party.
"Bravo. That's seriously impressive," the Obama campaign said in an email to supporters. "Bad news? We still got beat. Handily."

- Ben Carson Fundraising Accelerated to $20 Million in Third Quarter
- Campaigns to Supporters: Put Up, and We'll Shut Up
In fact, the bigger worry for Mr. Obama is that he appears to be quickly losing one of the key advantages of incumbency: A larger campaign war chest.
Mr. Romney and the RNC had $160 million cash on hand at the end of June. Although Mr. Obama didn't release his current cash total Monday, he and the DNC had about $147 million to spend at the end of May. In June, the campaign spent tens of millions of dollars on TV ads, meaning Mr. Obama likely added less to his bank account than Mr. Romney did.
Mr. Obama's campaign is also competing on an unequal playing field.
Mr. Romney is being aided by a cadre of outside groups that can raise and spend unlimited sums attacking the president. One of them, Crossroads GPS, begins a $25 million ad campaign this week. Democratic donors have been less willing to support such groups, leaving the president's campaign to almost entirely pay for air support on TV and a large campaign infrastructure.
