According to Tuesday's Associated Press, the pit bull who was involved in an attack on a young boy in Phoenix, Ariz., in February, will be spared death.
Today, Municipal Court Judge Deborah Griffin decided to spare the life of the five-year-old dog, named "Mickey."
The judge set forth stipulations with her ruling, including requirements to have the dog defanged, neutered and microchipped, and he may not be adopted out or be placed into foster care.
Last month, Mickey bit a four-year-old child in the face after the boy wandered into Mickey's yard and tried to take a bone from him. The boy suffered serious wounds to his face, including a fractured eye socket and jaw.
Mickey had thousands of supporters who cited a lack of supervision for the child as the true crux of the sad situation.
The attorney who fought for Mickey's life will have five weeks to find a suitable facility to take the dog in.

Lately, I've had the opportunity of checking out a number of headsets from the fairly new Arctic Sound series from our friends at Arctic. I've used their flagship P531 5.1 surround model, the mid-range P301 (that was able to compete with some competition worth twice as much money), and now I have the baby of the series here, the budget-minded P131. The P131 is a straightforward headset that's designed to give you bang-for-the-buck sound quality and a fairly comfortable fit, all for under $10. The last two headset models I've reviewed have gone to show that Arctic Sound can sure provide good quality for your money, so I'm curious just how well they can pack this quality into a headset worth only $8.45USD!

Enjoy the Charm of a Small Sunroom
Bring light into your life with a small sunroom. Photo Credit: robin.elaine
Enjoying a warm weather retreat like the sunroom is so much more rewarding if it's not hampered by clutter or out-of-place furniture. Sometime these rooms can get overloaded with the wrong stuff and the next thing you know, your charming sunroom is full of knick knacks and space-eating furnishings. If you want the beauty of a small sunroom back, check out these redecoration tips.
If you have a large couch taking up needed space, replace it with smaller wicker chairs and a vintage table. Rattan furniture also works; it blends in well with exposed wood beams. However, I don't want to suggest that you can't have any large pieces of furniture in the room. It's still okay to have a comfortable chair, like a wicker sofa; just make sure to contrast it with smaller pieces and fewer accessories.
Hardwood flooring combined with a nice area rug is very stylish. Or, you can substitute tile as your flooring choice; either combination works. Throw in a couple tropical plants and some small reading lamps and you've got a very cozy bungalow.
Additional decorating tactics can be done to create space in cramped quarters. Use a big tropical plant as a room divider; the optical illusion gives the appearance of a more space. Temperate plants generally grow very well in this room. You can also use your paint palette to open up the room. Blues and greens create a more intense feeling, while browns and tans are more peaceful. Try using lighter colors. It creates a more spacious feeling.
A feng shui style of decorating is the practice of arrangement and placement to promote harmony in one's life. Putting things in the right places creates space and develops positive chi. In feng shui terms, this means we're responsible in our lives and we strive for a life that is trouble free.

Semiconductor nanowires get in order
Semiconductor nanowires – quazi one-dimensional single crystals composed of elemental or compound semiconductors – have emerged as promising materials for fundamental studies in quantum-confined systems and applications in nanophotonics, electronics and energy sectors. A variety of proof-of-concept nanowire devices have been demonstrated, including transistors, light-emitting diodes, lasers and photovoltaic components. However, major challenges remain in controlling nanowire properties such as size, position and crystalline structure on the nanometre scale. This is mostly due to challenges in synthesizing both position- and diameter-controlled metal nanoparticles, which are used as seeds for the nanowire growth.
Ordered approach
Researchers at MIT have developed a simple and efficient electrochemical process that combines a galvanic reaction and electron-beam lithography to selectively synthesize small-diameter gold nanoparticles, which are then used for growing ordered nanowire arrays with pre-defined diameter and position.
A unique feature of the synthesis technique is the spontaneous formation of localized etch pits during the galvanic reaction. The localized substrate etching, which the scientists observed exclusively on the lithography-defined surfaces, indicates that the substrate material is locally consumed during the galvanic reaction. By using electron and atomic force microscopy analysis, the group concludes that the etching is achieved under a particular condition: sufficient metallic ions are supplied on a limited area and the produced oxides are efficiently dissolved to maintain the reaction continuously on the semiconductor substrate.
Interestingly, the pits prevent gold diffusion during the high-temperature growth of nanowires, which allows the formation of well ordered and epitaxial nanowire arrays. The team's process is particularly important for the controlled synthesis of small-diameter (<20 nm) nanowires for which other catalyst-patterning and deposition combinations fail to provide necessary diameter and position control.
More broadly, galvanic processing coupled with electron beam lithography can facilitate the fabrication of other metal nanostructures for applications in nanoplasmonics or molecular electronics, among others. The researchers are currently exploring other types of lithography techniques for high-throughput synthesis of robust metal nanoparticle arrays.
The group presented its work in the journal Nanotechnology.

Club Tijuana managed a 1-0 win over Monarcas Morelia at the Caliente Stadium in the second game Friday night to kick of week 4 of the Clausura 2014 of La Liga MX. The Aztec dogs continue on a good pace at home as they move into another tournament where they look to make "Fortress Caliente" weigh on their opponents.
The game was highly disputed in the midfield against a Michoacán team that planted themselves in the back waiting for a counterstrike. This gave the home side the advantage and allowed them to control the ball as they pleased.
Within minutes of the initial whistle the rojinegros were knocking on goalkeeper Carlos Rodriguez' net. In fact, Tijuana had more runs on goal, but was not able to make Rodriguez work too hard in the first 45 minutes of play. After a couple of high shots that went over the crossbar, Monarcas went into the break with 0-0 that seemed to favor them in the long run.
The second half saw the local squad again take the initiative in an attempt to take control of the pitch. The game got intense in the midfield with both teams racking up yellow cards as they tried to stop the attacks from the other team in an attempt to keep them from taking an advantage.
The second half saw a Monarcas team that had fallen back to defend the 0-0. The draw would earn them an away point, something that did not benefit Xolos. The constant attack from the home-side forced a set-piece in the 61st minute. Ecuadorian Fidel Martinez took the shot and connected with Argentine Javier Gandolfi who lost his marker and headed the ball past Rodriguez for the 1-0.
Immediately the visiting squad moved their lines forward, but gave up spaces allowing Xolos to make more dangerous plays that looked like the home side would increase their lead. However, after a few minutes Monarcas fell back once more and waited for the counterstrike to try and get the drawing goal, something that would never come for the "purepechas."
"The important thing was to get the three points," Juan de Dios Hernandez, who had an opportunity to start the game, said. "They are a complicated rival. Thank God we were able to get the victory. We were able to get three points at home which is the most important."
Xolos win their second home game of the season and now sum up 7 points in league play. In the process, Xolos win their first ever game against the Monarchy. While not the best record, it keeps the Aztec dogs in contention. Xoloitzcuintles will travel to Mexico City to take on Pumas UNAM in their next game. Monarcas will host Santa Fe of Colombia in Copa Libertadores action before facing current La Liga MX champion Leon FC at the Morelos Stadium.

Introducing Experience Skype to the Max – a comprehensive guide to enriching your Skype experience.
I've had the privilege of covering Skype via the independent Skype Journal and Voice On The Web blogs for over six years. I first experienced IP-based communications back in 1995-96 when I watched engineers at my employer of the day struggle to make voice calls work on 50MHz Pentium PC's over a 43 kbps dialup modem. (Yes, it did eventually work; in fact at one point I participated in a demonstration for an analyst conference in London, U.K. from my home near Toronto.)
In the subsequent years I followed several attempts at using the underlying technology to develop a voice calling offering. One of my clients in the early 2000's actually had it working as a feature within a desktop sharing collaboration tool. I signed up for an early subscription to 8×8's initial service. But these offerings had no directory arrangements and calls had to be pre-arranged by email. Voice quality and robustness were not the best and the infrastructure required hosting on a server.
However in 2005 I learned about Skype and started using it with a Toronto-based medical software client who often traveled to Europe and California. I recall once making a Skype call from my PC in a Santa Barbara, CA medical office to my client in Oslo, Norway. Nobody in the customer's office knew I had made this call; no need to ask about using a phone or set up a long distance arrangement or otherwise bother the customer's personnel. No calling card was required. Then we started finding how useful Skype chat was as an effective and complementary conversation tool. I stopped billing my clients for long distance charges. To summarize, significant communications overhead for my consulting business evaporated!
In the spring of 2006 I attended a Voice over Net conference in Toronto and was asked to report for the independent Skype Journal. Over the subsequent years I was exposed to the evolution of Skype and other IP-based communications offerings as well as the transition of mobile phones into smartphones. The user's Skype experience grew from voice calling and Instant Messaging on PC's to "Skype Everywhere" with voice, video, chat and collaboration on a wide range of devices and hardware platforms.
Skype introduced its SILK codec providing crystal clear audio that makes it possible to do remote music training. Skype evolved video from postage stamp size images to "amazing" HD video where the other party appears "live" across your desk on a today's larger flat panel monitors. Video calling arrived on mobile smartphones and tablets. Video conversations came to the family room with Skype for TV. As social networking grew, there appeared integration with Facebook. Skype Shop evolved into a fully featured e-commerce platform offering a wide range of Skype-certified hardware peripherals.
When I completed a project for a Skype partner in the spring of 2011 I realized I had over 700 blog posts and lots of exposure to using Skype both at home and while traveling internationally. That exposure included not only Skype software but also Skype hardware. (I have about 100 pieces of hardware around my office.) Questions and stories from Skype users indicated a need for one comprehensive resource covering all the information needed to get the most out of the Skype experience.
In April 2011 I wrote up an outline and started writing. Sixteen months and a few Skype revisions later (as well as the launch of Skype for iPad and evolution of Skype for TV) resulted in the publication of a Kindle eBook: Experience Skype to the Max – the essential guide to the world's leading Internet communications platform.
To expand on that theme it's:
A guide to real time social networking for building and sustaining everyday personal and business relationships, whether geographically dispersed "friends and family", road warriors, special interest groups, business teams, the wanderlust world traveler and anyone who wants to get more out of their Skype experience.
You can learn more about Experience Skype to the Max at the book's website. It talks about the author, the content and who can benefit from it. You can purchase Experience Skype to the Max via the U.S. Skype Shops. This will take you to the eBook's Amazon page where you can use the Look Inside feature to preview the first 10% of the book, including the Table of Contents and/or purchase it at U.S.$9.88 for your Kindle library.
As for being a Kindle eBook you can read it not only on Kindle devices (Kindle Fire preferred; however, it's only available in the U.S.) but also using Kindle Reader apps for iPad, Android tablets, Windows PC's and Mac PC's. (I did the proof reading on an Android tablet.) The great features about Kindle include navigation, bookmarking, highlighting and even note making. If you have multiple devices registered to your Amazon Kindle account you can read it on any of them. With hyperlinks to many blog posts, especially useful is the ability to click on a link, go to a web browser and, in one click, return to your place in the eBook.
One other reason for using Kindle: I can update the book periodically and easily have it distributed to all buyers via Amazon's services. But Skype is a very dynamic, evolving platform, especially with integration into Microsoft products over the next year; to keep up to date and current on new features and developments as they occur, register for email updates.
I look forward to your comments and feedback. At some point soon I will add a forum to the book website to engage readers in more conversation about the book.
One other comment: I'll keep on reporting on not only Skype but other IP-based communications offerings; such a broad perspective is necessary to fully comprehend the entire Internet communications picture from both a technology and business operations perspective. I will continue to be critical – for instance I look forward to the return of separate chat windows and would like to see the addition of the Call Quality Info tool to Skype for Mac. But, at the same time, over 250 million are already benefiting from their Skype experiences. This is a reference resource for them to get the most out of Skype and for potential users to learn about Skype.
Disclaimer: This book and its contents have not been endorsed or reviewed by Skype. Any views or opinions expressed are entirely views of the author or the cited source only. The Skype name, associated trademarks and logos and the "S" logo are trademarks of Skype.
Bottom line: for more information check out Experience Skype to the Max!
Finally, I need the acknowledge Dr. Christiane Werneck and her cardiovascular surgery team at Trillium Hospital in Mississauga. Without their efforts in April 2012, this eBook may never have been completed. I am still blown away by what they did and how far medical technology has progressed.

A look at Lexus' anti-water technology, from rain-sensing windshield wipers to special glass that guides water off the vehicle.
Your Lexus has been engineered to perform in wet conditions as well as dry. And when we talk about rain-fighting technologies, there's a tendency to focus on the performance featuresthings like Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM)that aid driver control, disc brakes that help deliver stopping power, and water-channeling all-season tires.
But with Lexus, no detail is too small. So we checked in with the experts at Lexus College for a quick look at some of the more subtle Lexus innovations that have been adopted in recent years, innovations that help your car perform and keep you safe when the clouds let loose.
This feature has been around for the better part of a decade, and in current models it's found on the front driver and passenger windows. "It's a titanium-silica coating on the glass that helps make water bead up and run off, making it easier to see through the window and to see your mirrors when it's raining," says Charles Hubbard, senior dealer education administrator for Lexus College. "The effect is similar to what those aftermarket window treatments can do."
The difference, of course, is that unlike some aftermarket products, this titanium-silica coating is permanent; it never needs to be reapplied, and it requires no special treatment. Just clean it as you would the rest of your glass.
Water-repellent glass is a subtle innovation, but one that's easily appreciated by simply comparing the side-by-side behavior of water on the front and rear passenger windows; on the front, rain will bead up and roll off quickly, whereas on the rear, the water tends to sheet.
Incidentally, this is a reason to insist on genuine Lexus parts if you ever need a window replaced, as an aftermarket product likely won't have this treatment.
Sure, you use these all the time. But did you ever wonder how they work? "There's a sensor in the upper center portion of the windshield, right by the mirror, that shines an LED light (infrared ray) through the glass," explains Hubbard. "If the system detects no water present, the light bounces back. But when it does detect water, it allows the light to go through the glass, and when it does that, the wipers turn on."
Hubbard points out that there's actually a lot of intelligence going on here. Not only is the sensor engineered to detect precipitation; it can also detect the amount of rain hitting the car, and then set or adjust the wiper speed accordingly between INT (intermittent), LO, and HI.
By the way, this is why your owner's manual recommends keeping the area around the windshield sensor clean, since dirt and bugs can interfere with the sensor. And, just as with the side windows, this is a reason to be selective about who does the work, should you ever need to have the windshield replaced. "If they don't get that sensor mounted just right, you can have some problems with the automatic wipers," says Hubbard.
Standard on: LS, IS F, LX, GX, LS Hybrid and GS Hybrid; available on GS, IS, IS C, RX, CT, HS, and RX Hybrid.
While we're on the windshield, here's another interesting feature that is offered for the HS 250h, CT Hybrid, and certain Lexus luxury utility vehicles. It's an electric grid embedded in the glasssimilar to your rear-window deicerthat runs along the base of the windshield and up the driver's side A-pillar. Its purpose is to warm those areas to help keep the wipers free of ice and snow.
Standard on: LX, GX, CT
These are available on many models and standard on vehicles with LED headlights. Can you guess why? LED headlights are so efficient that they don't throw off enough waste heat to keep the headlights free of ice in severe conditions. So this system automatically squirts washer fluid onto the lens when the headlights are turned on or you activate the windshield washers for the first time. The fluid comes from the same reservoir as your window washer fluid, and should be rated for sub-freezing winter driving conditions.
Standard on: LX, CT, LS, GS; available on all other models except ES.
You know that little groove on the A-pillars on either side of your windshield? It's not just a design touch; that channel in the sheet metal (standard on all Lexus 2011 models) also has a practical application. "In light to moderate rain, they're designed to carry the water up and over the top of the car, instead of letting it come around the side and obscure the mirrors," says Hubbard.
So in a sense, even the L-Finesse design of your Lexus can be said to impact its wet-weather performance. Now that's attention to detail.

The Mosel River placidly winds its way from the heart of Germany to the northwest on its journey to join the Rhine. Its deeply carved and ancient course through blue Devonian slate long ago defined the hallowed hillsides that have grown the world's greatest Rieslings for centuries.
It takes a personal visit to the Mosel to fully appreciate the logic of the region's terroir. As it journeys sinuously from the village of Ruwer to the village of Alf, some 35 miles to the northwest, the river's course is dotted with town after tiny town. Each of these towns either sits at the base of, or just opposite a hillside filled with vines. The hillside, quite logically, takes its name from the nearby village, and then continues to be subdivided by individually named vineyards, which are, in turn, occasionally subdivided into individual plots.
Along the southerly bank of one particular broad sweep of the river from west to east lies the town of Brauneberg, which shares its name with the 2-kilometer-long, incredibly steep hillside across the river that has been carpeted in vines for longer than anyone can remember. In an odd twist of fate, the town was long known as Dusemond or "sweet hill" thanks to its proximity to the Brauneberg (literally "brown mountain" due to the high iron content which turns the slate a rust brown color). But thanks to the fame of the vineyard, whose wines were sought out and owned by, among others, Thomas Jefferson, the town adopted the same name in 1925.
Perched on a little rise in the lower reaches of the town of Brauneberg lies the unassuming family home and winery of Weingut Fritz Haag, whose elevated stone porch provides views across the few streets that separate the winery from the river and the 38 acres of Riesling that the family has farmed for generations.
The winery is currently run by the energetic and genial Oliver Haag, who has been slipping his way around the family's slate-covered vineyards since he could walk. The winery is named after his grandfather, who was the first to bottle wines under his own name, after generations of grape growing. Fritz Haag was succeeded by his son Wilhelm in 1957, who interrupted his studies to begin running the estate at the age of 20 when his farther fell ill unexpectedly.
Oliver Haag grew up knowing he was going to be a winemaker, and worked at many of the top names in the Mosel Valley even before heading off to the University of Geisenheim to get his degree in enology. After graduating, he spent time as a winemaker in South Africa and Germany's Rheingau region before returning to take over the family domaine in 2005.
Now, along with his wife Jessica and their six-year-old son, Haag produces a portfolio of exceptional wines from the Brauneberg, as well as a few acres of vineyards he has in the nearby town of Mülheim.
A significant amount of the family's acreage is in the heart of the Brauneberg's top vineyard known as Juffer. Pronounced "you-fer," this vineyard's name translates either as "virgin" or "spinster" depending on your interpretation of the 18th century Mosel-Franconian dialect. It's fairly certain, however, the locals had the latter interpretation in mind when they named the vineyard, thanks to three headstrong young daughters of the vineyard's owner who shrugged off tradition and chose to spend their lives as winemakers rather than as wives.
In the heart of the Juffer Vineyard sits a large outcropping of slate. A vertical wall of the stuff that lies decomposed and fractured everywhere else on the slopes above the Mosel river. And once upon a time, an enterprising villager put a sundial ("Sonnenuhr") on the face of this outcropping that could be conveniently read from across the river. In 1971, as a new set of wine laws codifying the quality of German vineyards were enacted, the vineyard surrounding the sundial was given the name Juffer Sonnenuhr, and elevated to the status of grosse lage, or the German equivalent of Grand Cru.
While it may be possible to stroll through vineyards in most other wine regions of the world, a stroll through many of the vineyards in the Mosel is all but impossible. The combination of a carpet of fractured slate -- which might as well be a layer of ball bearings for all the traction it provides -- and incredibly steep slopes makes for a horribly treacherous environment. Just how steep are these slopes? The steepest section of the Juffer Sonnenuhr dials in at about an 80% slope, or about 40 degrees. That's at least a black diamond ski run at most resorts in the world, and a double black diamond at some.
Needless to say, these vineyards are worked painstakingly by hand all year long and during harvest. Shallower sections of vineyard can be trellised and worked by a special tractor, but the steepest sections are cared for as they have been for centuries. Sixteen to twenty pickers (of whom three are over seventy years old!) move carefully through the vineyards, with practiced steps and great effort. It is painstaking work no matter how you slice it, but especially when harvesting the last bits of fruit left long on the vine. When the winery has the opportunity to make TBA or Trockenbeerenauslese, a wine made from entirely botrytized grapes that are individually picked, an entire day's work can cover only a couple thousand square meters and yield only 2 buckets of dried berries, enough to make a minuscule 15 liters of wine.
The Haag family hasn't used a single petrochemical on their vineyards for the last thirty years, and farms the vineyards organically, with no pesticides. Organic fertilizers and an occasional organic fungicide are applied by helicopter.
Perhaps not surprisingly, winemaking at Fritz Haag is exceedingly simple. The grapes are brought across the river in small bins and crushed in the compact winery. The juice, after settling, goes into steel tank for fermentation with ambient yeasts, and most stays there to age, though a portion is also aged in old oak casks.
"I usually don't want the wine to go into malolactic [fermentation]," says Haag. "And I'm not a fan of pushing the wine or warming it up to finish fermentation. I'm happy to leave it by itself."
"We don't have huge facilities or a huge cellar," notes Haag. "I think I could probably handle fruit from perhaps one or two more hectares [2-4 acres] but I think my wife would tell me then that I am finished."
Total production at the estate hovers somewhere between 5000 and 6000 cases of wine each year, depending on the conditions of the harvest.
The 2012 vintage was as close to ideal as you could imagine in almost all of Germany, but especially in the Mosel. With a balance of sugar and acidity, the wines from 2012 are both elegant and powerful, with great potential for longevity.
2012 was also an incredibly clean vintage, with very little disease pressure on the whole. Unfortunately, especially for those who adore the sweetest of Mosel wines, this meant very little botrytis, but Haag clearly prefers too little than too much.
"We have a warming trend in the Mosel," Haag goes on to explain in order to provide context for the 2012 vintage. "Global warming seems to be good for the Mosel. It gives us more consistent vintages. I'm not exactly happy about it, but it is making our wines a bit better."
"My father started farming more than 50 years ago," he continues, "and he says we are very lucky now. Twenty or thirty years ago the vintages were harder. The change of climate is not a good thing, but for the Mosel, I think it is still OK."
"I'm now forty years old," says Haag, "and I've been working in the business for 25 years. Since I started we haven't had a really bad vintage. 2010 wasn't easy, and 2006 was interesting, but the last really very bad vintage was in the 1980s -- '81, '82, and '84."
While a section of the Mosel was badly damaged by hail this year, Haag seems to have largely escaped, losing only about 30% of one five-acre parcel, by his estimation.
When asked about the future, Haag expresses hope that one day his son may be interested in working in the winery, but at 40, he is clearly well settled into the prime of his winemaking years. And if the 2012 vintage is any measure of his abilities, Weingut Fritz Haag will be making excellent wines for the foreseeable future.

Reversible Tote Sewing Pattern
Having a reversible tote bag is like having 2 bags in one, now with the adjustable strap, you can have even more styling with it. Be it full length till your hip and sling across your chest, or shorten it till just below your armpit, inside out or outside in, style it with your mood and base on your outfit.
I made this bag with one of my favorite fabrics. It is actually a lightweight upholstery material normally use as curtain or drape. The silver flower printing caught my eyes and I can't go home without taking a few yards with me. For all my favorite fabrics, I will make sure I sew something good out of them. This explained why I constantly crave on fabrics, buy them and keep them until I am convinced enough to sew a good project. For this fabric, not only that I am 100% satisfied with my reversible tote design but I also feel happy that I got them sold for a good cause.
Let's get to the tutorial and pattern on how to sew this reversible tote bag with adjustable strap after this jump….

I'm impress…I like your blog, the craft…I gained a lot…8
thanks for the pattern. I made one for my sis9
thank u, I will let my little one know about the lion…she will be pleased10
I love this bag and can't wait to make it! I have read and reread the tutorial several times and am slightly confused about the bottom of the bag. I can't figure out where I sew the bottom with the way it's cut out with the 2″ notches…I feel like I am missing something very simple.11
Any idea how I might print off the entire pattern blown up four times on a mac. I seem to be able to blow it up but then it prints just one little portion and nothing else.
Super excited to make this, even if I end up having to estimate the pattern.12
What a wonderful job you've done! Thanks for sharing your pattern and writing such a great tutorial.13
tanks, i like u'r tutorial14
I great tutoral i am so excited to try out this pattern but i can't seem to understand the part you say we must cut on the fold but the pattern appear slant at the bottom.i am a bit lose when it comes to where to sew and how to cut15
thank you i finaly figured it out than you very much gonna do it tomarrow.thanks alot16
I love that it's reversible. You can show off two awesome fabrics!! Thanks for the tutorial – you make it look fun and enjoyable!
HI there,
I have a question about the base of the bag. On the pattern it has a 2″ x 2″ indentation on each side but your pics of cut out materials don't have that. Am I misreading the pattern? I can't figure it out.
Thanks for your help,
I found this purse on pinterest and fell in love – it is the only one I've ever cared to make but I'm stuck!
I do not understand the steps starting at 5 where the ring holder begins. I have invested a lot of time and really need detailed help.. Is that something you would be willing to do. I quilt & sew lots of other things, but never utilizing hardware.
Hello, I love this a lot and I have decided this as my first sewing project.
I cut my fabric but I've also cut the part on the bottom 2″ at the both sides. I guess I shouldn't have done so. Now I am stuck. Is there a video how to make this kind of bottom?20
Oh, the bottom sewing seems to have been explained here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLD4AoTV4eg20.1
Just found your site. I really like this bag pattern especially like the strap. I own a small home sewing business. I have an etsy shop and do craft shows. Do you allow your patterns to be used to make and sell items? I would not sell the pattern just the finished product. I did not see a place to open the FAQ.
I've made 2 of these bags and about to make my 3rd one – my girls absolutely love them!! Thank you!!22

Man charged after refusing to leave restaurantJanuary 30,2014Man faces trespass charge in pizzaria
BENNINGTON A local man is facing three misdemeanor charges after an incident Jan. 15 during which he cited his Constitutional rights while refusing to leave Ramuntos Pizza, according to police.
Darrell J. Radcliffe, 29, was arraigned Monday in Bennington criminal court on two charges of disorderly conduct and one count of unlawful trespass. Radcliffe pleaded innocent and was released without bail.
In an affidavit, Officer Robert Murawski, of the Bennington Police Department, said he was dispatched around 9:25 p.m. Jan. 15 to Ramuntos. At the restaurant, Murawski spoke with an employee who said Radcliffe had come to the bar at Ramuntos and had a beer. He ordered a second, but while the employee was getting it, Radcliffe began to curse at the employee, the affidavit said.
The employee said Radcliffe also dropped his ring and was too intoxicated to pick it up off the floor.
The employee said he gave Radcliffe his money back and told him he had to leave, but Radcliffe refused and said, Youll step over your grave telling me to leave.
Murawski said police told Radcliffe he had to leave, but he said, I do not have to leave. Im an American and have a Constitutional right to be here.
According to Murawski, Radcliffe was uncooperative during his arrest. He made threats, tried to pull away from police and banged on and kicked at the door of the holding cell.
A screener from United Counseling Services found Radcliffe was too intoxicated to sign his citation and he was taken to the Rutland jail until he was sober.MORE IN This Just InHiker rescued from AT

They call everyday same time, never leave a message. When you do answer and ask what company they refuse to answer the question, and hang up; same guy called back and when asked the same questions he said I've left enough messages she knows who I am and hung up. Go figure they don't leave a message ever, refuse to tell you who they are - once they are identified they will be turned over to the FDCPA as there are specific guidelines and rules they must abide by.....Caller Name: MaleCaller Type: Debt Collector

Manufacturer: Can you explain the importance of testing for VFA and KOH numbers for latex concentrates? Can we test one and omit the other?
John Woon (Senior Latex Consultant): If the field latex or the resultant latex concentrate has been infected by bacteria, the degradation or hydrolysis of the non-rubbers in latex would result in the formation of volatile fatty acids (VFA)which would eventually lead to a drastic drop in the colloidal stabilty of the latex. Hence it is always prudent to measure the VFA number to assess the stability and hence the processability of the latex before, during and after compounding with curatives etc.
KOH number measures the total acid radicals present in the latex. Since this includes VFA, a poorly preserved latex would show a high KOH number. However, a latex with high KOH number might not necessarily mean poor latex preservation because its measurement also includes ions from the "good" higher fatty acids.
Testing for KOH number is usually recommended as an indication of the age of the latex concentrates as it increases from about 0.45 to 0.7 on storage.
Hence my answer to your question: Do both tests.

The Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans arranged for the state of Mississippi to operate Beauvoir as a home for Confederate veterans, conforming to the expressed wishes of Mrs. Davis. On December 2, 1903. the first Confederate veteran, J. R. Climer of Madison County, was admitted.
The state eventually constructed 12 barracks for housing the veterans, their wives, and widows. A typical barracks was 126 feet wide, with porches running the entire length of the building, with six rooms in each building. Thus, if four veterans shared a room, each barracks could house 24 persons, and since there were 12 buildings, 288 beds were available. The largest number of soldiers, sailors, wives and widows residing at the home at any one time approximated 250.
At first the rooms were heated by wood fires, but coal later replaced wood. A pitcher and washbowl were placed on each washstand.
Many citizens over the years spent much time and effort in visiting and helping the aging veterans. One of the most devoted of these was Walter M. Lampton, the son of a colonel of the local militia. For years, Lampton was a daily visitor to Beauvoir and was well known to all of the veterans living there, with whom he played checkers and marbles.
One of these veterans was W. T. Bowie, who often sat in the extreme southwestern corner of the grounds gazing out over the Gulf waters. Lampton built Bowie, who was over 80 years old, a small summer house with seats and a roof, which was capped with a sign that read "Bowie's Retreat." Bowie was delighted with the house, but, when he spied the sign, he became indignant. "Bowie lost a leg in the war," he exclaimed, "but never retreated, sir!" He calmed down somewhat when the meaning of "retreat" was explained, but he was not happy until Lampton changed the sign to read "Bowie's Rest."
Another favorite of Lampton's was James A. Cuevas, grandson of a native of Spain to whom a grateful United States government gave Cat Island off the Mississippi coast as a reward for his service in refusing to lead British General Pakenham through the Rigolets and Lake Ponchatrain to attack New Orleans in the War of 1812. Cuevas was blind and was cared for in the hospital at Beauvoir, where Lampton often visited him. Cuevas always recognized Lampton by touching his hands, even when nurses introduced him as someone from far away. Cuevas complained that since losing his sight, he could not till when daylight came, and he wanted a cock to crow and announce daylight for him. Lampton obtained rooster, which was immediately named "Bilbo" by Cuevas, an ardent supporter of Governor Theodore G. Bilbo. Cuevas claimed that every time the rooster crowed, he was shouting, "Hurrah for Bilbo!" Another veteran, who disliked Governor Bilbo, killed the rooster, much to Cuevas' dismay. Lampton then brought Cuevas two bantams, a rooster and a hen, and had the coop built just outside Cuevas' window. Every morning, "Mr. Bilbo" stepped up to the window sill and announced the coming of the day, and "Mrs. Bilbo" joined him. After Cuevas' death, the bantams continued to thrive, and visitors were told their story.
Walter Lampton made many gifts to Beauvoir and to the veterans. During the campaign to build a hospital, Lampton gave a check for 10 percent of the anticipated cost of $40,000, and, when an additional $10,000 was required, he wrote another check for $1,000. He also paid the cost of the fund-raising, amounting to another $1,000. He made many purchases for the home and subscribed annually for 25 copies of the Confederate Veteran for the old soldiers to read.
As time passed the ranks of the veterans thinned, and, eventually, the home contained more widows than actual veterans.
The last veteran to die at Beauvoir was Jim Walton of Winston County. He died on February 2, 1947, at the age of 96 or 97, and is buried in Beauvoir Cemetery. However, Walton was not the last veteran to live at Beauvoir. On August 30, 1949, James A. Thrasher of Smith County was admitted to the home at age 97. He left Beauvoir in 1951 at age 100 and died three months later.
Beauvoir's last two residents were Confederate widows. On February 19, 1957, they were transferred to the Golden Age Nursing Home in Greenwood. It was more economical for the state to pay their expenses there than to operate Beauvoir for only two women. These last two widows were:Mollie Lavenia Bailey of Rosedale, widow of Corporal Zachariah T. Bailey; and Mollie Cottle of Rolling Fork, widow of Private James Cottle.
With the end of state operation of Beauvoir, control of the entire property was returned to the Mississippi Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which operates the property as a shrine to the memory of Jefferson Davis.
A list of all resident veterans and marked graves is now available.
Although the name of Colonel Prentiss Ingraham does not rank as one of the great names in American literature, he was one of the most popular of all American writers from the 1870's until his death in 1904. He was one of the top three or four writers of the famous (or infamous) dime novels of that period. He was also probably the most prolific writer that Mississippi ever produced, writing several hundred dime novels, plus a number of plays, articles, and poems.
Born near Natchez on December 28, 1843, he was the only son of Reverend Joseph Holt Ingraham and his wife, Mary Brooks Ingraham. He was described by a contemporary as a "dark, handsome, fascinating youth." He was educated by private tutors and then attended St. Timothy's Military Academy in Maryland, where he was a classmate of John Wilkes Booth, who later became the assassin of President Lincoln. Next he attended Jefferson College in Washington, Mississippi, just outside of Natchez, and, at the outbreak of the War Between the States, he was attending the Mobile Medical College in Alabama.
Before becoming an Episcopal minister, his father had written numerous books best described as early dime novels. On becoming a minister, Reverend Ingraham was ashamed of these books and tried to make amends by writing religious novels. His trilogy Prince of the House of David, The Pillar of Fire, and, The Throne of David achieved enormous popularity nationally, although his son later described them as "religious dime novels." His father's other serious works were The Southwest: By a Yankee, (he was a native of Maine), and The Sunny South: Or, The Southerner at Home, which he wrote as an answer to Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Prentiss Ingraham enlisted in Company D of Withers' First Mississippi Light Artillery as a private, reaching the grade of Ordnance Sergeant by July, 1863, when he was captured at Port Hudson, Louisiana. He received a wound in his foot, which troubled him the remainder of his life. He was paroled and exchanged, although, according to some accounts, he escaped from his captors. In October, 1864, he was listed as absent "on detached service." He reportedly served as an officer of scouts in Ross' Brigade of Texas Cavalry. This may have been true, although no record of such service exists. It is certain, however, that he was a Confederate colonel.
After the war, he became a soldier of fortune, serving in Mexico under Juarez against Maximilian and the French. In the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, he served on General Hoffman's staff in the Austrian army at the Battle of Sadowa. He fought on the island of Crete with the Greeks against the Turks, and, for a time, in the army of the Khedive of Egypt. His literary career began in London, where he wrote articles, essays, and poems for British periodicals. When he returned to the United States, he became involved in the Cuban Revolution as a Cuban navy captain and made several trips to Cuba in the Hornet before he was captured by the Spaniards. He was also a Cuban army colonel, which gave him the rank he used later in life.
After his capture, the Spaniards sentenced him to be shot, a sentence American diplomats were unable to get moderated. The British consul also tried, and he reportedly induced the Spaniards to agree to permit Ingraham to escape, which he did. After his escape, Ingraham returned to the United States, went west and became acquainted with Buffalo Bill (William F. Cody ), Pawnee Bill, Wild Bill Hickock, and other frontier figures. Ingraham's career as a leading dime novelist took off, with 600 to 1,000 novels attributed to him, many of which were written under a variety of pseudonyms.
The biography of Buffalo Bill by Don Russell, published by the University of Oklahoma Press, claims that Ingraham was the man who made Buffalo Bill famous worldwide. Ingraham, however, was not the first to write about Buffalo Bill, but he was a publicity agent for Buffalo Bill's "Wild West Shows," and wrote about 200 Buffalo Bill novels.
Ingraham lived most of his life in New York, where he married Rose Langley, author, artist, and composer in 1875. They had two daughters and one son. From 1897 to 1902, the family lived in Easton, Maryland and, from 1902 to 1904 in Chicago.
Ingraham became a victim of Bright's disease and traveled to the home
for Confederate soldiers at Beauvoir, where he was admitted on August 12,
1904. He died four days later and is buried in the Confederate Cemetery
at Beauvoir in grave number 62. His wife died on February 3, 1941 at Greenwich,

There are so many things in world that can distract us, keeping us away from what is important---but does that necessarily make them bad?
With the new album THE IDOL FACTORY (released Tues. April 1, 2014) recording artist Bush Baby shows us the answer is NO.
On the eve of the release I had a chance to have a conversation with Bush about the project and the way that people were already responding to it. "It's been a blessing," he told me. "Just to see it. It let em know that God had a bigger purpose for me. I'm here to encourage and uplift people."
The album, led by the single GOD FIRST, really helps us to appreciate that what really matters is the order that we go after things in life. If money, cars and fame are your priority then there is no real space for God. If you seek a relationship with God first, though, all other things are definitely going to be added to you in their time and place.
Joined on the song by artist Dee-1 the two men show that praying hard and working hard will bring the benefits of the labor. Putting God first in our lives will ensure that we think before acting and that we are able to treat everyone (especially women) the way they should be treated.
Though today he is in a place where he is using his life and gift for good, he told me that it wasn't always the case. Being on a path that led him to seek revenge when he was only 19 almost cost him his life. There was signs that there was more out there for him, but it took some time to really pay attention. "God began to speak to me and show me certain things," he told me, "but it's been a process.
"Now I see what I was created for. I do have a purpose. I do have hope. I can communicate the reality of the path I was on to the younger generation."
The album title itself is a great reminder of how our attitude towards something determines its place in our lives. "With THE IDOL FACTORY I'm actually talking about a heart," Bush explained to me. "An idol is anything we hold in highest regard. Our heart can create or manufacture idols. People don't realize what they worship. God created us to enjoy all these good things, but we turn the good things into a 'god' thing." The events in his life have allowed him to understand that God gives everybody gifts. It's up to us how we use it. "You can't be stopped when you have God on your side," he says. "I'm full of life, full of purpose. I just want to share that with the world."
At a time when doing the right thing is seen as being lame or uncool, artists like Bush Baby are proving otherwise.

A proposed ski maintenance building at The Canyons Resort faced heavy opposition on Tuesday, with nearby residents claiming the facility would create too much noise and would be a visual nuisance on Canyon Resort Drive.
The proposed Red Hawk Ski Maintenance Facility would be a relocation of the current building on Frostwood Drive. That facility needs to be removed by June 2014 to comply with the County Manager's order in completing Canyons' new golf course.
The new facility would be located just east of the Grand Summit Hotel and west of the Hidden Creek Condos on Canyon Resort Drive. The first phase of the project would encompass 18,360 square feet, with the second phase later utilizing the remaining 146,941 square feet.
The owner of the property, Talisker Canyons Propco, LLC, has contracted with TCFC Finance Co., LLC, to construct the facility.
The project came under fire at Tuesday's Snyderville Basin Planning Commission meeting at the Richins Building. Donna Van Buren, a nearby resident and a former Basin planning commissioner who was on the board when the Canyons Specially Planned Area (SPA) was approved, expressed concern that the previous facility should be moved because it was a noise nuisance.
"We erased property lines as part of the SPA. There's a thing called global principles as part of the SPA. [One is to] establish appropriate buffers between resort and existing residential areas," Van Buren said, adding that the proposed facility would not be a buffer.
Van Buren added the planning commission should "put density where density should be," stating, "Since we've waited this long, let's do it right."
Spencer White, representing TCFC Finance, said the facility must be close to the mountain to provide snow access but must also have paved vehicle access. He said Canyons Resort has a lot of density, but very little land, and that the proposed location is "the best location for us at this time."
"This is not the end-all, be-all building. It's not going to contain everything with regard to on-mountain operations," White said. The building would, among other functions, be used to maintain snow cats and snowmobiles, not for lift maintenance.
To mitigate lighting effects on the nearby Hidden Creek Condos, White said they had proposed installing a four-foot concrete wall in front of the parking stalls. Heavy vegetation would also be planted to ensure that headlight glare would not be noticeable.
The site would also not contain enough parking stalls for employees, and White said Canyons Resort would provide parking in a development area across the street until space is created.
Another potential concern is the shift change that would occur at the maintenance building at midnight, where a Canyons Resort employee stated that no more than 10 snow cats would enter the facility from the golf course to the north.
Cynthia Callaway, a Hidden Creek resident, said the current maintenance shed is roughly 150 yards from her residence. She cited past employee noise and misconduct as reasons to deny the proposed facility relocation.
"This [parcel] was always discussed as a buffer to future development. This is not a buffer," Callaway said.
Rob White from the nearby Silverado Lodge stressed that a maintenance facility that close to the resort entrance would be a visual eyesore.
"It's going to be a very imposing mass driving up the street every day," White said. "Every visitor from The Canyons is going to be looking down [at the building], as well as people at the Grand Summit Hotel."
The planning commission will continue to work on addressing issues with the current proposed facility, but consideration of other possible sites will not be included in those discussions. Summit County Planner Tiffanie Northrup-Robinson said the developers have been asked to provide more detailed information on the project and will come back for a work session for the Dec. 10 planning commission meeting.


text: So you negotiate a contract with a player and then 3 or 4 days later another club puts in a contract offer for them. It was a clear run before so I negotiated a lower wage. Now I want to go back and offer the player a higher salary. However the only option I can see is to withdraw the current offer. If I withdraw the player throws a strop and doesnt want to negotiate again. How can I change what has been offered before like you could do on FM10?

Comments about 'School testing: Is there a middle ground between high stakes and low stakes testing?'
- Oldest first

It does seem very much to high school students here that only the high grades matter, not the difficulty of classes -- unless they are well-informed and have already decided to pursue a specific course of study in college and have reviewed program requirements. All the short-term rewards and incentives go to kids who get A's -- regardless of the classes they take. I always hated that when I was in school years ago. Now I see it for my own kids. We need to remake our entire system of expectations.

A small part of the problem is that many Universities tell students that the
difficulty of the class doesn't matter. A BYU rep told my daughter that the
fact that she had only Honors and AP classes her last two years of high school
would not matter for admissions!
In spite of my being a BYU Alum, I encouraged her to go to a University where it did matter!

Too much funding for testing, and bringing up scores of low achievers.
Less focus on high achieving students, and they miss out.

If you think it's bad now wait a few years. Our schools are so afraid of failing students they are going to be passing even more students who can't walk and talk and chew gum at the same time. All of the accountability is being placed on teachers. Little on the student and what they are doing/not doing.

American students receive passing grades for doing little to nothing. Students
learn this, then have little motivation to succeed.
To have contracts renewed, teachers must have a low failure rates.
Liberal thinking does not promote motivation, but encourages entitlements.

Why blame liberals for everything you find to be wrong in the country today? In Utah we test kids to death and parents and students have no accountability for their school work, and no state is more conservative than Utah. The testing that you hate so much is a Conservative solution not a liberal one.

My daughter is in 2nd grade. She is tested at least 5 times each week on something. The other day I asked what happened at school that was interesting. She replied, "nothing, we tested all day." She is 7 years old and is starting to hate testing already. Boy, I will have my hands full later.
