DOH Crews Start Patching Potholes

If you were driving around Clarksburg on Friday, you might have noticed some traffic delays in town, especially on the Joyce Street Bridge. The weather has finally started warming up enough for crews to start patching potholes.
"I don't mind it at all. I hope this means they'll be fixing more streets across town," said Mike Steffick, a Nutter Fort resident.
The work done Friday was just a temporary fix, starting within the next few weeks, crews will be out making more permanent repairs.
"It's just a temporary fix for now, but the blacktop plants are opening up and making asphalt, so we should be out here again next week patching them for good," said Roger Golden, a DOH Crew Supervisor.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead today in his Manhattan apartment according to CNN. His death was an apparent drug overdose as a needle was found in his arm by a playwright who had been working with him.
News of actors dying from drug overdose is unfortunately not uncommon. In 2008 actor Heath Ledger overdosed on prescription medicine, although it was considered accidental. In 2013 Kory Monteith died from an overdose of drugs and alcohol. In 2012 Whitney Houston was also found dead from a drug overdose in her hotel room.
Inside a Starbucks in South Miami, local residents react to the news of another Hollywood celebrity fallen from stardom. A former high school teacher, Marie, stated "It makes you wonder if they were not celebrities, would they still have had a drug issue. Also where did it start? Someone must have seen some warning signs".
Indeed, warning signs are often evident to close family and friends according to Webmd drug abuse information. Even the stars themselves admit to having an issue and some even go as far as seeking professional help. In Hoffman's case, according to CNN, the star never sought treatment because he believed he could overcome his issue himself without anyone else's assistance. Regrettably this was not the case.
Hoffman was not a household name or face but his talents were often recognized. His career got a jump start in 1991 on "Law & Order" and he later went on to do theater works such as "True West", "Our Lady of 121st Street" and most recently the Broadway classic "The Death of a Salesman" in 2012. Hoffman starred in a film called "Capote" in 2005 as Truman Capote and won an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. Subsequently, his talents earned more recognition in the 2012 film "The Master" in which he won over ten awards for Best Supporting Actor from Chicago Film Critics Association, Florida Film Critics, and Broadcast Film Critics to name a few.
The question remains, with all the notoriety, stardom, power and money (at least more than the average person), what makes these celebrities turn to a life of drug abuse and sometimes drug overdose? Another Miami native nearby Aventura AMC Theater states "it's the pressure. You have all this pressure to be the best and do the best that in time it gets to you. Really, the media helps them and destroys them all at once.
Philip Seymour Hoffman was a great actor in the eyes of Hollywood and his fans. He was survived by his partner and three of his children.

It would seem that when it comes to making changes in the status quo, West Plains, Spokane County and Eastern Washington 5th Congressional District voters are happy with the way things are.
In primary election results Tuesday night in races where there were more than two candidates, voters were still sticking with the standard Republican or Democrat preference. In the four-way race for 5th District congressional representative, incumbent Republican Cathy McMorris Rodgers was comfortably on her way to November's general election where she will face Democratic challenger Joe Pakootas.

(Yes) Way, Jose!
Alright, I was wrong…I've got to stop carrying my negativity towards the Minnesota Vikings (the NFL's perennial messed-up franchise) to the Twins. When Jose Morales first broke camp with the team (filling in for Mauer), I was on his case right from the very beginning. He couldn't throw out baserunners, couldn't track down pop-ups, and couldn't hit worth a darn. However, Morales has now reminded me that baseball, unlike football, is a grind, where a couple of weeks is relatively nothing in comparison to the whole schedule. Now, Morales (currently a .375 hitter) is hitting line drives all over the place, threw out his first baserunner the other day, and has caught all the sky-scrapers. He even scored the winning run in last night's contest against the Rays when Justin Morneau legged it down the line to prevent being doubled up on a sharply hit grounder (that was probably only fielded in the first place because TB skipper Joe Maddon had five infielders in).
Francisco Liriano turned in a great start as well last night, pitching nearly seven frames and only allowing two earned runs. He isn't striking out quite the number of batters he once did pre-Tommy John, but (in spurts) he has shown that he can be a very effective starting pitcher on this staff.
Even more impressive, though, was the relief outing from "the other Jose", that being Jose Mijares, once exiled to the minor leagues (and presumably Weight Watchers) for looking and pitching sluggish during Spring Training. He definitely didn't look "sluggish" last night, as all his pitches had bite to them and the batters couldn't touch them.
Oh yeah, and Joe Nathan is human.
Preview (10-11, 4th, 1.5 GB DET): Scott Kazmir (3-1, 3,97) vs. Nick Blackburn (1-1, 4.44). The bats better get to Kazmir early, as he can be nasty if allowed to find his groove (or get a big lead).

Nice to see the Twins back.
You were slidin down hard there for a while, I was worried.

CrossFit Scottsdale participated in the 8th annual Pat's Run this morning along with 50,000 other people. As I ran I was amazed by all the different types of participants and it comforted me in knowing that we had all come together to support a good cause. It was humbling to see the various shapes, sizes, and ages making moves to change their lives. It's the 21st century and fitness is no longer for only elite athletes and military but a rather a means to a fuller and healthier life and I feel fortunate to be apart of a fitness forward and health conscience community. With that in mind, I not only feel grateful but privileged to be apart of the CrossFit Scottsdale Team knowing we are changing lives for the better everyday. ~Amanda
Congrats to everyone who ran this morning and a special thanks to Dr. Josh Vella and TOCA for sponsoring our CrossFit Scottsdale athletes!

First of all, my sincere apologies to those of you who mistakenly found yourself here due to the words "anatomy" and "fantasy" in the title. Because this is a family website (and because roughly 50% of NFL players are never-nudes), I can't deliver the uncompromising visual dissertation on NFL-player body parts that you desire. I wish you no ill will if you click away to continue your quest, but if you have some time to kill, why not stay a while and read about my fantasy football rankings? The MRIs of Adrian Peterson's knee ligaments and Hollywood headshots of Rob Gronkowski's chiseled jaw will still be there when you're done here. Fantasy rankings, on the other hand, are fleeting and that's what I want to talk about first.
The first thing I want any set of rankings to be is up-to-date. To be fair, what I really want my rankings to be is accurate, but they can't be accurate if they're not up-to-date, so leave it to my friend the transitive property to come to the rescue and allow me to stand by my original statement. Where was I?… Up-to-date rankings! In the fake football world, old information is bad information. Would you dare draft Maurice Jones-Drew in the first round right now? Absolutely not, but you might have done so if you drafted a couple months ago when MoJo's holdout was only a minor concern. Football is an unpredictable game and the best rankings remain fluid through the draft season, adjusting for every preseason performance and injury note.
The trickiest part of compiling fantasy rankings is throwing all the positions into the overall rankings mush pot. Positional rankings are far more useful in general because as the draft progresses, team need will eventually trump any value manifested in the overall rankings. Still, a quality set of overall rankings is very useful in the early rounds and there are things we rankers can do to maximize their value.
To start, we can utilize Value Based Drafting (VBD) to zero in on which non-running backs are viable early-round picks. Some rankers piece VBD values together in their head and others geek out with formulas and spreadsheets. At the end of the day, we're all simply trying to figure out when it's correct to stray from the status quo of starting the draft by selecting two running backs.
In addition to VBD, we can examine the depth of each position on the whole to evaluate which positions are worth targeting early. For example, the depth at wide receiver this season has been well documented and like my colleague Denny Carter, I will not own Calvin Johnson this season. Simply put, I would much rather invest a first-round pick in an elite running back or quarterback and put my wide receiving corps together in rounds 3-9. This is reflected in my rankings with Megatron ranked #10 overall, but the chances of him slipping that far in drafts are slim.
Ultimately, the overall rankings exist as a general plan for how to draft a winning fantasy team. My rankings and my plan for this season are based on the following tenets:
1. Running backs start to get scary in the second round.
Blame this on the running-back-by-committee epidemic that has swept through the NFL over the past few years. With so many backs splitting carries, the rushers with "featured" roles are more valuable than ever. Hence, Chris Johnson and Darren McFadden are my #4 and #5 players overall, despite their respective effort and durability concerns. Meanwhile, running backs with immense talent upside like Jamaal Charles and Doug Martin are high in my rankings because I expect them to make the most of their opportunities, whether they are splitting touches with a teammate or not.
2. In addition to wide receiver being deep overall, the tiers are relatively large.
This means that there are a lot of great values to be had at WR in the mid-to-late rounds and also that there is a lot of redundancy at WR in those spots. If you want to draft a wideout in the third round, but you miss out of Hakeem Nicks and Greg Jennings, one of A.J. Green, Percy Harvin, Brandon Marshall, and Steve Smith (CAR) will probably still be available and provide similar value. Furthermore, there's a decent chance that one or two of them will slip to the fourth round. I'll stop harping on this point eventually, but you can and should wait on wide receiver this season.
3. Tight end is deep, but there is a steep drop-off after the top-4 or top-5 (depending on how you feel about Vernon Davis).
The TE position is basically a "choose your own adventure" in 2012. You can invest an early pick in Jimmy Graham, Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Gates, Aaron Hernandez, or maybe Vernon Davis. If you do, it's important to regard your selection as more of a general pass-catcher than a tight end, meaning you should prioritize drafting wide receivers even less and focus on grabbing running backs and a quarterback with your other early picks. If you miss out or avoid the top-5 tight ends, your plan can be summed up with one word: wait. You wait for one of the mid-tier TEs to slip a round or two past their ADP and pounce on the value, or you wait to be one of the final teams to select a starting TE and use all your early picks on RB, WR, and QB.
4. Quarterback is also deep, but drafting one in the first two rounds is viable because of the depth at WR and the risk attached to every RB after the top-6.
I don't advocate taking Aaron Rodgers ahead of Arian Foster, Ray Rice, LeSean McCoy, Chris Johnson, or Darren McFadden and I wouldn't take Brady or Brees ahead of Matt Forte. Otherwise, I have no problem taking a QB in the first or second round. There is one minor caveat to this strategy, though: If you take a quarterback in Round 1, taking a running back in Round 2 is virtually a requirement. Unless you want your RB1 to be Ahmad Bradshaw or Fred Jackson, you can't afford to pair your first-round QB with a WR or TE in the second round. Note that this strategy works the other way, too. If you draft Graham or Gronk with one of your first two picks, you can't afford to take a QB with your other top pick without digging yourself a serious hole at running back.
5. Missing out on a top-5 QB isn't the end of the world.
As NFL offenses continue to skew towards the passing game, the gap between the upper- and lower-tier quarterbacks will continue to shrink. This allows us as fantasy managers to wait on QBs just like we wait on TEs. Either you wait for a clear value on a QB in the Vick-to-Cutler range, or you wait even longer and assemble a quarterback committee from the likes of Palmer, Schaub, RGIII, Freeman, Fitzpatrick, Luck, Flacco, Wilson, Dalton, and Locker. Employing a QBBC strategy will allow you to stock up on running backs, wide receivers, and maybe an upper-echelon tight end early in the draft.
6. Defenses and kickers are irrelevant.
Last, but not least, we need to talk about the last positions you should ever fill in a fantasy draft. The plan behind my rankings hinges on the fact that you will only draft running backs, wide receivers, quarterbacks, and tight ends until the final two rounds. Then and only then is it justifiable to draft a defense or kicker. Furthermore, when drafting a defense or kicker, do so with the knowledge that you will happily drop either for one with a better matchup in any given week during the season. When I draft a fantasy defense, I care much more about their matchups in the first three or four weeks than their ranking or ADP. This is why most of my teams this season have ended up with the Bengals defense and their opening schedule of @BAL, vs. CLE, @WAS, @JAC, vs. MIA, and @CLE. Baltimore is the scariest of those offenses and defensive matchups don't get much better than four games against Cleveland, Jacksonville, and Miami in the five weeks after that.
In conclusion, the general plan with these rankings is to prioritize running backs early and remain flexible otherwise. Hopefully you can lock up your starting RB spots early so you can take advantage of the value at the other positions after Round 3. After the first five or six rounds, you can shift your focus from overall rankings to team need and look for values in the positional rankings. As always, be mindful of drafting tiers and what positions your opponents have left to fill, as those factors will inflate or suppress the value of certain positions at different points in the draft. Without further ado, check out my personal rankings below. I will be updating them often leading up to opening night.
Our QB's get 6 pts. for any TD also. How would this change your overall board? I have the #5 pick, 12 team, and am looking at both Rodgers and Brady.
Greg, In a 14 team league with standard categories, would you trade MJD + Marshall for Ryan Mathews + Kenny Britt? My other RB are SJax, David Wilson, Best, Pierre Thomas, while my other WR are Decker, Fitzgerald, Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate, Randall Cobb.
Thanks for all the help man. I have one last question. Would trading Nicks for Jordy be a good move? I noticed you and Chet have Jordy ranked higher but the staff ranking has Nicks higher. Sorry for all the questions.
Calvin will cost 54 next season while Chris will cost 47. It goes up 5 every year. I figured over the next couple seasons Chris was the better value. After 2 or 3 years I don't think either will be kept at those prices. I know some leagues they would command those prices but in this league the top guys go around the 40 to 50 range.
I just traded Mega for CJ2k. Looking at my team was that a good move? 10 team keeper
Qb. Cam
Rb. CJ2k
Rb. Forte
Wr. Cruz
Wr. Nicks
Wr. Percy
Te. F.Davis
Flx. Charles
Flx. D.Murray
In a one player keeper league. Should I keep MJD and roll the dice that he comes back and plays well, or Vick and roll the dice that he stays healthy? Thanks!
Graham and Gronk were mid-late round picks last year…TE is unpredictable and has high turnover…WAIT!
The numbers for adp don't seem right. 15 adp for Fred Jackson?
Would giving D.Murray and Roddy for McCoy be a good deal? I would have McCoy and McFad at rb and Trent at flex. I would move Maclin to Roddy's spot and Wallace is my other receiver.
Hey Greg…in a standard league + return yards (1pt/20yds, 6pt/TD), would you move Darren Sproles, Antonio Brown (assuming he'll still be the main PR), and Randall Cobb up in your rankings? If so, how much?

Databases and Electronic Resources
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the databases are restricted to University of Chicago users.
and Psychosocial Instruments (HAPI)--via OVID
Produced by Behavioral Measurement Database Services, this database indexes materials from 1985 to the present. It provides access to information on measurement instruments (i.e., questionnaires, interview schedules, checklists, index measures, coding schemes/manuals, rating scales, projective techniques, vignettes/scenarios, tests) in the health fields, psychosocial sciences, organizational behavior, and library and information science. The database contains citations to actual test documents and bibliographic citations to journal articles and compilations which contain information about specific test instruments.
Measurements Yearbook (MMY)--via OVID
This searchable database includes the full-text of the reviews and descriptive information about tests and measurement instruments that are contained in the print title of the same name (Z5814.P8R91 Regenstein 4th Floor Reading Room). Full-text begins with the 9th edition (1980) and continues to the present. The database is updated every six months. MMY is produced by the Buros Institute of Mental Measurements and its website includes a variety of useful information. The Instructional Resources section offers "How To" guides and a MMY Index covering all the print volumes since 1985. Buros also offers a free service, Test Reviews Online, that includes citations to, and excerpts from, the complete MMY (and customers can then purchase the complete review if they do not have other access).
and Measures in the Social Sciences: Tests available in compilation volumes
Thanks to the work of Helen Hough, Health Sciences Librarian at the University of Texas at Arlington, this freely available resource indexes more than 100 titles that provide the text of more than 10,000 instruments. The website also offers help pages and a list of links to FAQs about locating tests and measures.
ETS Test Collection
The Educational Testing Service (ETS) offers a free search facility into its database of more than 25,000 citations to tests and other measurement devices. Many of these instruments are unpublished and, for some, the ETS sells copies in microfiche. A subset of the ETS Test Collection comprises Tests in Microfiche, to which the UofC Library subscribes (Regenstein, Microforms, Floor 3, Call No.: microfcLB3051.T474). A list of which tests are included in Tests in Microfiche is offered by Helen Hough in her resource cited above.
This database, produced by the American Psychological Association (APA), indexes journal literature in the field of psychology as well as books, book chapters, reports, and dissertations. PsycInfo offers a search limit of "Tests and Measures"; this field provides the names of tests that were used in the study or for an article where the test itself was the topic. If the document includes the actual test in its entirety (usually unpublished tests and surveys), PsycInfo adds the word Appended in the Tests & Measures field. The APA offers much more guidance through its PsycInfo Search Help/Training Center, including Tips for Searching for Tests.

November RRC Scholar-Athlete: Haley Schneider
Nov. 1, 2013
By Kayla Curry
Haley Schneider, a center for the Lady Raider basketball team, is at the end of her time as a student-athlete. As she reflects on her time as a Lady Raider, she is thankful for all the support she's had throughout.
Schneider got her start in basketball at a young age by tagging along with her mom during the summer.
"As a kindergartener, it was almost like a day care," Schneider said. "My mom would take us kids to her basketball camps in the summer. We would be a lot younger than all the other kids there, but we'd still participate."
As she grew up, Schneider's love for the sport persisted.
"As I grew older and really started to grow an interest in basketball, I really started to like it compared to the other sports," Schneider said. "I tried try volleyball and track, but it just didn't click."
Schneider's mom had a lasting impression that is still a huge impact in her life today.
"Athletically, she has an amazing background in athletics as a player and as a coach," Schneider said. "She's just really strong in the athletic department, and it's always given me something to look up to."
Schneider looks up to her mom for athletics, but she's also been a huge influence on her academics, even having an impact on her major.
"My mom taught math at my high school, so she was always able to help me" Schneider said. "I ended up having a strong interest in math and that gave me a strong interest in civil engineering and that brought me to where I am today academically."
Schneider also credits her success on and off the court to her mom's influence.
"I know it's possible to be both very successful academically and athletically," Schneider said. "You don't have to pick one or the other. My mom influenced me in that way."
Not only is Schneider a Civil Engineering major gearing up for graduate school in the spring, but she's also a part of other organizations on Tech's campus like Tech chapter of National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
The Lubbock native said she knew her time in college would be challenging and that's what made the decision to go to Tech was so easy.
"I knew I would be under a lot of stress in college with basketball and my major," Schneider said. "I wanted to be around friends and family. I wanted to make sure I was in a place where I knew people and that I had a support team around me."
Schneider said she's also always had great support from all Tech offers to student-athletes.
"Tech is great about helping the athletes achieve what they want to academically," Schneider said. "They have tutors for specific subjects, if you're struggling in a class all you have to do is tell your academic advisor and he'll get me a tutor as soon as I need one."
Candi Whitaker, women's head basketball coach at Tech, agrees that the Red Raider Club provides for the athletes in a way that truly has an impact.
"There's no question the donors that donate to the Red Raider Club allow opportunities for scholarships for our student-athletes that make a huge impact in their lives," Whitaker said. "Without the education and the opportunity they get on the floor, they wouldn't be able to better themselves and have a better life down the road."
Schneider plans to graduate in December 2013. She will continue her time at Tech pursuing her master's degree.
Whitaker said Schneider is a great role model for other players on the team.
"The thing I like the most about Haley is her coach-ability," Whitaker said. "She's someone who listens to everything you ask her to do on the floor. You know she's doing all the things off the floor the right way which is such a great example of what the Lady Raiders are about."


text: So I get into the office this morning and I have a message waiting. At first I thought it might be something important; usually when I have messages first thing in the morning, something is wrong. I listen to the message, and it's a buddy of mine impersonating someone we know to make fun of them, then he farts in the phone. Very classy 😉

In the vernacular of our Native American brothers, I would designate our congress and senate as: Haphazard Assemblages of Men and Women with "MANY WIRES DOWN"! As these folks get enough payoffs from their "Special Interest" proprietors, these "Do Nothings", except, of course, what they do for themselves, should be put on Minimum Wage!
 From some of their statements, comments, and Voting Records, I would also judge many of these folks to be 100% nuts!
 Let us Hope that the New Arrivals will see to the "RE-STRINGING" of these WIRES!

Greetings, campers! I hope you're ready for another fun-filled free sewing pattern, courtesy of Lizzy House's 1001 Peeps Summer Camp. We here at FQHQ were extremely excited to be asked to serve as counselors this year, and I knew immediately what I wanted to make with Lizzy's amazing new 1001 Peeps fabric.
I designed a patchwork peeps flag on a grand scale to help bring Lizzy's designs to life. The fabric helped me to imagine these large flags blowing in the wind as merchants peddled their wares in the ancient markets frequented by the peeps. This flag would be a great addition to your sewing space and is also perfect for little boys' rooms. Pssst … want to be let in on a little secret? I've even added a secret pouch on the back of the flag, perfect for keeping the genie's treasure hidden from would-be thieves.
Special thanks go out to Melanie of Above All Fabric, who collaborated with me in helping bring this project to life. Melanie's a great source for all of your 1001 Peeps needs — she has all of the prints in stock (and even sells fat quarter bundles of the line), ships super fast, believes in superior customer service, and offers great prices. Plus, she's a fantastic supporter of Fat Quarterly. We encourage you to visit our sponsor shops, who make it possible for us to bring all of our fresh content to you.
Today's also a very special day because it marks the release of Lizzy's brand new book, 1001 Peeps: Five Magical Projects. We saw a sneak preview of this book at Quilt Market, and trust us when we tell you that it's fabulous. Guess what? One of you will win a copy of this book hot off the presses, straight from Lizzy herself! She's even willing to throw in some 1001 Peeps fabric to sweeten the pot. Want to win? Simply follow the directions at the end of this post.
So let's get on with the arts & crafts portion of our day. Ready, campers? Let your peeps flag fly!
Materials needed:
As assortment of your favorite 1001 Peeps fabric prints. Here's what I used for this project:
- 1/4 yard of Illuminate in Basra Blue
- 1/4 yard of Jewels in Basra Blue
- 1/4 yard of Scheherazade in Basra Blue
- 1/2 yard of Royal City in Basra Blue
- 1/2 yard of Pearl Bracelet in Green
- 2/3 yard of Towers in Basra Blue
- 2/3 yard of Peeps in Basra Blue
- 1.5 yards of Illusion in Basra Blue
Other materials needed:
- 1.5 yards of a backing fabric (I used a coordinating Moda Cross-weave in blue)
- An approximately 60″ x 40″ piece of batting
- A 36″ wooden dowel
- 5 yards of a pom-pom fringe
- 1 yard of a rope or twine for hanging.
- Jewel-inspired embellishments (like beads, buttons, ribbon, etc.)
- Optional: you may choose to use some interfacing to add some stability to your flag. I didn't, but it might help it to hang straighter.
Peeps flag construction:
1. We're going to start by making the flag front, row by row. For the first row, cut a 2.5″ x 32.5″ strip of the Illuminate print. While you're at it, cut 3 – 2.5″ x 44″ strips of Royal City and 3 – 2.5″ x 44″ strips of Jewels. You will use these to create rows 2, 3 and 4.
2. Pair each Royal City print with a Jewels print and sew the pairs together. Press your seams (I pressed mine open).
3. Cut 9 – 4.5″ squares from each pieced strip for a total of 27 squares (you will only use 24).
4. Piece together 3 rows of 8 squares each. The first row should be laid out as shown above. The next row will be the same, except that the placement of the blocks will be reversed to create a stair-step effect. Continue with that pattern for the final row of this section of the flag. Press your seams in alternating directions.
You now have rows 1-4 of your flag. Go ahead and sew them together.
5. Cut a 2.5″ x 32.5″ strip of Pearl Bracelet in green. This is row 5, and you can add it to your flag-in-process.
6. Next, we're going to add a nice wide strip of the Towers print as row 6. Center the print and fussy cut 2 – 6.5″ x 24″ strips. (Note: because this print runs perpendicular to the width of the fabric, you will need to cut 2 strips running lengthwise from your cut of fabric and piece them together.)
Sew these two strips together along the 6.5″ edge. If you're careful, you can piece your two strips together in a way that the seam is not too noticeable. I think I did an OK job! Trim your pieced strip down to 6.5″ x 32.5″. Add it to the bottom of the flag.
7. Row 7 of your flag will simply be a 2.5″ x 32.5″ strip of the Illusion print. Go ahead and cut that strip and sew it below your Towers strip as the next strip of your flag.
8. Now we're going to add 2 rows of large flying geese units (rows 8 & 9 of the flag front). The flying geese units will measure 4.5″ x 8.5″ each, and we'll be using the Peeps and Illusion prints. From each of these two prints, cut 4 – 4.5″ x 8.5″ rectangles and 8 – 4.5″ squares. Lay a 4.5″ square of the Peeps atop a 4.5″ x 8.5″ Illusion rectangle, and be sure your print is facing the right way (see above). Sew a seam from the top left corner of your Peeps square to the bottom left corner. Trim away the excess corner fabric 1/4″ away from the seam, and press open. Repeat on the other side.
Make a total of 4 flying geese units that pair the Illusion rectangles with the Peeps squares, and 4 units that pair the Peeps rectangles with the Illusion squares.
Piece together your two rows with the geese flying downward. The row where you used the large Illusion rectangles will be row 8, and the row with the large Peeps rectangles will be row 9. Sew these two rows together — you'll see that when you do, they creates a zig-zag effect. Now add this section to your flag.
9. You're done with the top unit of your flag front. Trim it down to be 32.5″ square. If you need to square it up to a smaller size, like 32″ or 31.5″, that's OK too. The actual size isn't important, as long as you square it up.
10. Now let's make the bottom (pointy) section of the flag front. Cut and piece together the following strips in this order:
- 2.5″ x 32.5″ strip of Illusion (Note: for all strips in the section, adjust the length of the strip to whatever measurement you squared your top section to in the step above.)
- 4.5″ x 32.5″ strip of Pearl Bracelet
- 8.5″ x 32.5″ strip of Peeps
- 3.5″ x 32.5″ strip of Scheherazade
- 6.5″ x 32.5″ strip of Illuminate
- 6.5″ x 32.5″ strip of Royal City
11. Fold your pieced bottom section in half along the 32.5″ side and press gently to give a nice crease running vertically down the middle of your section. This will mark the center point of this section. With your rotary cutter and ruler, make a cut from the top right corner to the center point on the bottom. Repeat by making another cut from the top left corner to the center point on the bottom. Sew the top (long) edge of this section to the bottom of your first section, and you now have your completed flag front!
Put it aside while we take care of a few other items …
12. It's time to make some hanging tabs. Start by cutting three 8″ squares from your Pearl Bracelet fabric.
Fold each square in half and finger press the crease, giving you a nice center guideline on your square. Fold one side of the square so that the unfinished edge aligns with that center crease. Press well. Repeat on the opposite side of the square.
Topstitch a seam along each side of the tab. This will ensure that raw edges are not exposed. Repeat for all 3 Pearl Bracelet squares.
Fold your three tabs in half and press well. Put these aside.
13. Want to add a secret pocket to store all of your treasures? Using the bottom (pointy) part of your flag as a guide, cut 2 pieces from the Illusion fabric the same size and shape as the flag's bottom portion. With one piece, fold the top (long) edge down 1/4″ to the wrong side and press, and then fold down another 1/4″ and press again. Repeat with the other piece. With wrong sides together, sew the two pieces together along the (now folded) top edge. I actually ran two seams along this piece, both for stability and because I liked the look of it. All other edges can stay raw, since they'll be sewn into the seam allowance of your final flag.
14. Using your entire flag front as a template, cut a back for your flag from the backing fabric. Mine came up just a bit short on the pointy end, so I just took a scrap from the side and added it to the bottom. It doesn't matter if it's pieced — first off, because it's the back, but secondly because the seam will also be hidden by your secret pocket.
15. Now it's time to put it all together! Layer your pieces in this order (note: order is important!):
- Quilt batting goes on the bottom.
- Next, position your backing fabric on top of the batting. Trim away excess batting. (Note: if not using a solid, be sure it's laid down with right side up.)
- Lay your pocket on top of the backing, aligning the bottom point and ensure the finished (sewn) edge runs across the top.
- Position your three hanging tabs along the time, aligning the raw (unfinished) edge of your tabs with the top of the flag. Note positioning in the photo above. The folded edge should be facing the interior of the flag.
- Align your pom-pom fringe along the edges, with the pom-poms facing the interior of the flag.
16. Carefully lay your flag top as the uppermost layer, right side down. Basically, we've just made a quilt sandwich, but this sandwich has a lot of ingredients! Pin around all of the edges, being careful to catch ALL layers at each section of the flag (backing, batting, pocket, hanging tabs, and pom-pom fringe). Pin, pin, and pin some more.
Sew around the entire flag, leaving about a 6″ opening for turning. I left the space between the center hanging tab and one of the side tabs open. Backstitch at the beginning and end of your seam for stability.
Turn this mutha' out! Pull the entire flag through the opening at the top, ensuring that all of your layers are where they're supposed to me. Push out all of the corners. Close your top opening I ran a short topstitched seam along the opening with my machine, though you could also close it by hand for a more seamless look.
(Note: you can choose to quilt your flag at this point, though I didn't.)
17. Finally, add your accessories, peeps! Embellish your flag with beads, buttons, ribbons, or any other wares. Slip the dowel through the hanging tabs and tie your hanging twine to both sides.
Hey, how did those peeps get in there?!
We hope you enjoy making some Peeps Flags! Just think of the many different variations you can make to this pattern — the possibilities are endless! If you make a Peeps Flag, we'd LOVE to see it. Please add it to our Flickr group, and let your peeps flag fly!

Emma Watson recently donned Christian Louboutin Pivichic Pumps to a screening of Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring in NYC. (Pivichic = PVC. I totally just got that.) This was a particularly appropriate shoe choice, as Louboutin and other designer brands figure prominently in the plot of the movie. (If you haven't heard the buzz, it's about a gang of teens that go on a celeb home-invasion spree.) You can purchase these exact Pivichics for $795 at Net-a-Porter.
When they cast Emma in the part of Hermione a million years ago, they really could never have anticipated that she'd grow up to be the elegant little fashion gazelle that she is today. I have yet to see her make a single fashion misstep, and her style (or her stylist's style, as the case may be) is impeccable. The girl can make anything look good, just by draping it over her body – that's got to be a little Harry Pottermagic at work, right?

Baccarat (part 5)- the conclusion.
Posted by Robert on 3 June 1998, at 10:40 a.m.
The count that was suggested to do it:
+1 for: A, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9
-1 for: 6, 8, X, J, Q, K
The rationnality behind it is that adding the even card taken in the count will more likely give total of 6 and 8 mainly which is better tot than 0, 2, 4 for a tie. (As show in a preceding part)
Of course, I would suggest that we try it with other count but ALWAYS with the "EVEN-ODD cards theory" in head and with Value of 1 or 2 max address to each card. That's why Griffin was wrong: unpractical count and not in line with even-odd theory)
Your turn to talk.

"Onyx" is just a fancy name for a black rock. "Talisman" is just a fancy name for any piece of trash superstitiously credited with mysterious powers. Put them together, though, and you have a necklace worthy of its fancy name.

I bought a used Macbook Air with OS X 10.7 Lion installed but with no installation media. I purchased and upgraded to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Now I want to go back to Lion, and I am happy to do a fresh install.
First, how do I get OS X 10.7 install media? I see "free downloads" on legit sites like Softpedia, but will it make me register and pay at install time? Or is there another/better way to get the media?
Would the Lion disk image be stored anywhere on the drive?

Describe Adonis, and the counterfeit Is poorly imitated after you; On Helen's cheek all art of beauty set, And you in Grecian tires are painted new: Speak of the spring, and foison of the year, The one doth shadow of your beauty show, The other as your bounty doth appear; And you in every blessed shape we know.

Managing Urban Canada
The annual life cycle for geese begins in late winter when adult
pairs return to nesting areas in late February or March, as soon
as waters open up. Egg laying and incubation generally extend
through April, with the peak of hatching in late April or early
May, depending on location in the state. Geese will aggressively
defend their nests, and may attack if approached. Non-breeding
geese often remain nearby in feeding flocks during the nesting
season. After hatching, goose families may move considerable
distances from nesting areas to brood-rearing areas, appearing
suddenly "out of nowhere" at ponds bordered by lawns.
After nesting, geese undergo an annual molt, a 4-5 week flightless
period when they shed and re-grow their outer wing feathers.
Molting occurs between mid-June and late July, and the birds
resume flight in August. During the molt, geese congregate at
ponds or lakes that provide a safe place to rest, feed and escape
danger. Severe problems often occur at this time of year because
the geese concentrate on lawns next to water. Some geese without
young travel hundreds of miles to favored molting areas. These
local migrations account for the disappearance or arrival of
some local goose flocks in early June.
After the molt and through the fall, geese gradually increase
the distance of their feeding flights and are more likely to
be found away from water. Large resident flocks, sometimes joined
by migrant geese in October, may feed on athletic fields and
other large lawns during the day, and return to larger lakes
and ponds to roost at night. This continues until ice or snow
eliminates feeding areas and forces birds to other open water
areas nearby or to the south, where they remain until milder
weather returns and nesting areas open up.
"Resident" geese, as their name implies, spend most
of their lives in one area, although some travel hundreds of
miles to wintering areas. Resident geese are distinct from the
migratory populations that breed in northern Canada. Banding
studies have shown that resident geese are not simply migrant
geese that stopped flying north to breed. In fact, Canada geese
have a strong tendency to return to where they were born and
use the same nesting and feeding sites year after year. This
makes it hard to eliminate geese once they become settled in
a local area.
Discouraging Geese
There are many ways to discourage Canada geese from settling
in your area. No single technique is universally effective and
socially acceptable. Persistent application of a combination
of methods is usually necessary and yields the best results.
Goose problems in suburban areas are especially difficult because
birds are not afraid of people and may become accustomed to scaring
techniques. Also, some techniques are not compatible with desired
uses of suburban properties. For example, loud noisemakers in
residential areas, putting grid wires over swimming areas, or
letting grass grow tall on athletic fields, are not practical
remedies in those situations. But don't rule out any technique
that might be feasible. Dogs under strict supervision can safely
be used in parks and schools, and controlled hunting has been
successfully used at some golf courses.
Initiate control measures as soon as you notice geese in your
area and be persistent. Once geese settle in a particular location,
they will be more tolerant of disturbances and be difficult to
disperse. No method works well with just a few attempts, and
a comprehensive, long-term strategy is usually needed. Control
measures work in various ways. Some reduce the biological capacity
of an area to support geese by reducing availability of food
or habitat. Other methods disperse geese to other sites where,
hopefully, they are of less concern. Some techniques reduce the
actual number of geese to a level that people can tolerate. Control
techniques described here include those that have the best chance
for success based on past experience.
Modify Habitat
Geese are grazing birds that prefer short, green grass or other
herbaceous vegetation for feeding. Well-manicured lawns and newly
seeded areas provide excellent habitat for these grazing birds.
Wherever possible, let grass or other vegetation grow to its
full height (10-14") around water bodies so that it is less
attractive to geese.
It is very difficult to eliminate
goose nesting habitat. Geese rarely nest in open lawns where
they feed. Typically, they build nests on the ground close to
water, hidden by vegetation. However, geese are very adaptable
and nest in a variety of habitats, including woodlands, flower
gardens, and rooftops. Islands and peninsulas are preferred nesting
sites, and often support many more nesting geese than mainland
shorelines. Avoid creating such features during landscaping of
ponds in problem areas. Local zoning regulations may be a way
to discourage habitat developments that favor geese.
Install Fencing during
the Molting Period
Fencing or other physical barriers can be effective where geese
tend to land on water and walk up onto adjacent lawns to feed
or rest. Fencing works best during the summer molt (mid-June
to mid-July), when geese are unable to fly and must walk between
feeding and resting areas. In these situations, fencing or other
physical barriers installed close to the water's edge are effective
ways to control goose movements. Fences must completely enclose
the site to be effective.
Goose control fences should be at least 30" tall (48-60"
to block aggressive birds) and solidly constructed. Welded wire
garden fencing (2" x 4" mesh) is durable and will last
years. Less expensive plastic or nylon netting is effective,
but will have to be replaced more often. Fences may be beautified
or hidden by planting shrubs close by. Snow fencing or erosion
control fabric may be used as a temporary barrier to molting
Use Visual Scaring Devices
Various materials may be used to create a visual image that geese
will avoid. One visual scaring technique is the placement of
the eagle Jackite in an area to be protected. It's a life sized
eagle made out of Tyvec. You tether it to a 20ft pole and it
flies and soars in the wind. Geese are normally reluctant to
linger beneath an object hovering over head. Especially if they
think it's a predator. Place it in a pond, lawn or athletic field
and geese will be afraid to land there. Another device is a metal
windmill that reflects uv light. (The ScareWindmill). To the
geese it looks light a flock of birds taking off in fright.
If the geese are a nuisance at night,
a strobe light (AwayWithGeese) can be very effective. It disrupts
their ability to sleep.
Apply Repellents
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and DEC have approved
the use of several goose repellent on lawns . Geese will avoid
feeding on treated lawns because they dislike the taste. The
active ingredients include methyl anthranilate (MA) or organic
fish and beef products found in Bobbex-G goose repellent. These
materials are available at some garden supply centers and costs
about $125 per acre per application. Several applications per
year are usually necessary. Therefore, it is most practical and
cost-effective for only small areas of lawn.
Use Dogs to Chase Geese
Dogs trained to chase but not harm geese have been used effectively
to disperse geese from golf courses, parks, athletic fields and
corporate properties. Border collies or other breeds with herding
instincts tend to work best. The dogs must be closely supervised
during this activity. Except where permitted, compliance with
local leash laws or park regulations is still required. Initially,
chasing must be done several times per day for several weeks,
after which less frequent but regular patrols will be needed.
Geese will not become acclimated to the threat of being chased
by dogs.
This method is most practical where the dog and handler are on-site
at all times, or where daily service (as needed) is available
from private handlers. Another approach is to allow dogs to roam
freely in a fenced (above ground or "invisible" dog
fence) area that is not open to the public, but this may be less
effective. Dogs generally should not be used when geese are nesting
or unable to fly, such as during the molt or when goslings are
present. Also, dogs can not easily repel geese from large water
areas, but may be able to keep geese off shoreline lawns or beaches.
Although this technique has proven effective, it is often expensive
and labor intensive.
Laser Lights
Specially designed high-intensity bright green lasers are very
effective for geese control at night (e.g. The Bird Phazer Laser).
These hand held lasers disrupt roosting geese on land and ponds
during the night without making noise like other devices. Lasers
works because half of most bird's vision is in the uv light frequency
range (which humans can't see). And geese feather reflect a lot
of uv light. When the laser beam hits their feather it creates
an "Explosion" of light. It scare them without hurting
them.It can be difficult to break the site fidelity of roosting
geese. Consequently, flocks may move back to favorite roosting
ponds once the hazing activity has stopped.
Control Goose Nesting
Geese usually return in spring (late March) to the area where
they hatched or where they nested previously. Over time, this
results in increasing numbers of geese in areas that once had
just a few birds. Local population growth may be controlled by
preventing geese from nesting successfully. Although it is difficult
to eliminate nesting habitat, harassment in early spring may
prevent geese from nesting on a particular site. However, they
may still nest nearby where they are not subject to harassment.
If nest prevention fails, treating the eggs to prevent hatching
is an option. This can be done by puncturing, shaking, freezing
or applying corn oil to all of the eggs in a nest. The female
goose will continue incubating the eggs until the nesting season
is over. If the nest is simply destroyed, or the eggs removed,
the female may re-nest and lay new eggs.
Egg treatment helps in several
ways. First, it directly reduces the number of geese that will
be present on a site later in the year. Second, geese without
young will be more easily repelled from a site after the nesting
season. Finally, if conducted on a large enough scale (throughout
a town), it can help slow the growth of a local goose population,
and over time lead to stable or declining numbers. Egg treatment
may be necessary for 5-10 years before effects on goose numbers
are evident.
One fertility control chemical (nicarbizin; *OvoControlTM) has
been approved by US-EPA. This material requires repeated feeding
of nesting geese during the egg-laying period. Additional field
trials and applications are needed to determine the utility of
this product.
Not Recommended
For almost every method that has been tried to alleviate problems
caused by geese, there has been success and failure. However,
some methods were not recommended in this document for various
reasons. These include: use of swans (real ones create other
problems; fake ones don't work); bird distress calls (effective
for some bird species, but not proven for geese); scarecrows
or dead goose decoys (ineffective for resident geese); use of
trained birds of prey to chase geese (labor-intensive, generally
not available); sterilization (very labor-intensive for surgery);
fountains or aerators in ponds (not effective, may even attract
geese); introduction of predators (already present where habitat
is suitable, but none take only geese); disease (impossible to
control and protect other animals); and use of poisons (illegal).
