Conversations in Class, 3rd Edition
Conversations in Class, 3rd Edition is an oral communication textbook especially designed for low-intermediate Japanese university students who have studied English for six or more years but have had little or no experience with actual conversation. The book provides clear, step-by-step training in how to speak English more smoothly and naturally. Higher level students can also make use of the book as a springboard for conversation.
Unique features of this textbook are:
|Model Sentences display target language in an easy-to-understand visual manner. Japanese translations make new language even easier for students to learn and help teachers present new content more smoothly. Color-coded variation vocabulary provides additional options for self-expression. The accompanying audio tracks contain grammar and usage commentary in Japanese (English translations are available in the Teacher's Book and at cic-multimedia.com.)
|The Guided Speaking Practice section provides students with a reassuring step between the presentation of new language and free conversation. These visual manga-style dialogs provide vital repetitive practice in an engaging manner. In addition, they present additional language chunks in the context of conversations students are currently learning.
|This book deals with cultural differences by focusing on three Golden Rules, which are cultural tips on how to conduct more natural, interactive, and friendlier conversations by avoiding long silences, giving longer answers, and varying conversation patterns. They are introduced at the beginning of the book and are repeated within the context of each unit's topic, enabling students to review and incorporate these basic principles into their speaking practice.
|Each unit contains various activities for practicing conversation:
Frequently Asked Questions1) What makes this textbook unique?
1. Each unit revolves around a topic of daily life. Students can quickly get to the stage of talking about their lives, which is something they can really enjoy.
2. Each lesson is centered on a few basic questionanswer structures, called Model Sentences. These are presented in a simple and visual way so that students can infer grammar patterns at a glance. Variation vocabulary allows students to then create many meaningful sentences. This combination of simplicity and flexibility is what brings about something rare in Japanese EFL classrooms:students actually having and enjoying interactive conversations in real time.
3. Simple yet powerful pragmatic strategies are introduced and practiced. These help students avoid making the kinds of mistakes which typically hinder conversation, such as long silences, overly short answers, and an over reliance on questions.
Genuine low-intermediate students, such as those commonly found in Freshman English courses at university, are the main target audience, but the book can also be used with high school students or adult learners. The content is targeted towards the A1~A2 levels on the CEFR scale1 but can be used with a wider range, from pre-A1 up to B2, making this book ideal for mixed-level classes. For lower level students, the content represents an achievable aspirational goal, while higher level students will use it as a starting point and focus more on mastering the pragmatic elements. This book seeks to build upon six or more years of EFL instruction and transform English from a subject to be learned into a skill to be used for making life better and more interesting.
Each unit consists of three parts, and each part takes about 60 minutes to complete depending on your teaching style, class size, and level of the students. If you teach one part per class, you should have some time left over for review and/or expansion activities.
The book has been designed with a typical 15-week semester in mind. At a rate of three classes per unit, you will be able to cover four units per term and have a few classes left over for review, testing, or anything else you would like to do. Please refer to the following Model Syllabus for more details.
At cic-multimedia.com, students can access all of the audio tracks, photocopiable worksheets, practice key vocabulary via online interactive flash cards, and download full transcripts of all the Grammar & Usage Notes and Sounding Natural Notes.
The teachers' section of the site also provides additional support, lesson activities, and downloadable resources.
The book features primarily American English, but the listening practice dialogs have been recorded three times, with American, British, and Australian accents, to raise awareness of subtle differences in how English is spoken in these three countries.

The Back Loft
In the tradition of The Lord of the Flies and Cat's Eye, The Wave tells a story of adolescent cruelty and group dynamics. In an effort to discipline an unruly class into preparing for an Honours History paper, the exasperated Mr Quinn resorts to tactics used in Nazi Youth camps. First terrorizing his class about their parents, "Poor, poor, poor, and staying that way" he then points them towards the possible solution – "Strength through community, Strength through discipline." Accompanied by a hand salute and a marked improvement in their learning, this soon becomes the group's motto.
From classroom banter to nervous tics, fixations and obsessions, the group of young people are utterly convincing and entertaining, every detail making their sinister descent more believable. Yet when called out of their reverie to take stock of their actions, no milk of human kindness is called upon to shame them, but only the rather weak book of "school rules". Furthermore, Mr Quinn's methods seemed to be effective, leaving this audience member worried that with the end of The Wave, so came the end of their prospects for Honours History…
Until Saturday

"He who snoozes, loses," Stacie Lundy said confidently while waiting outside the Target store Thursday evening with her family.
She, with many others, waited in line outside the store in the chilly weather hoping to be among the first inside when Black Friday sales begin at the Eastwood Mall.
Lundy had been waiting at the beginning of the line since 3 p.m. She said it is her fifth year staying up to shop, and that she is hoping to save between $300 and $400 on a 50-inch flat-screen television.

Tribune Chronicle /
Margaret Thompson
Brianna Heib of Champion points out the TV she was waiting in line to buy Thursday. She began waiting outside the Niles Best Buy at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Lundy's wait until 9 p.m. Thursday - many stores started ''Friday'' a few hours early - is short compared to first-timer Brianna Heib's. Heib camped outside the Best Buy in Niles since 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Heib said she was willing to forgo her Thanksgiving dinner to purchase a 40-inch flat-screen television at a bargain price.
A little further down the Best Buy line was Anu Vinyak, who has stayed up for Black Friday for two times in the last three years. From his experience, he said he learned that the best time to line up is just a few hours before the doors open. He also said the best way to pass the time in line is by talking with those nearby and bonding over the bargains.
Anita Jones, from Beaver County, Pa., came out to wait with her 13-year-old son, Xiyrail Barnet. Jones said she was tired of spending Thanksgiving with relatives in Ohio and then making a "mad dash" back to Pennsylvania to get to the stores, so this year she went out to the Niles Target. Jones said it has become a tradition and gives her time with her son.
"I love it," said Barnet, clad in a sweatshirt, jeans and socks with sandals, "but I don't have the right shoes on."
Nancy Vickers waited around the corner from the entrance to Target with her granddaughter, Kerington Vickers. Despite the long line ahead of them, they remained enthusiastic, noting that they weren't out for any big-ticket items. Nancy has been shopping on Black Friday for the last seven years and her veteran advice is "to have a list so you know where to go in the department stores."
Lines also formed outside of entrances to the mall that opened at midnight. Tammy Hines waited with her daughter, Katelyn, and her friends Angela and Abby Delaquila. The women were prepared with blankets and chairs and excited for the coupon and gift card bags that were offered to the first 1,200 shoppers by the mall.
"I got a rush last year," said Abby Delaquila, who plans on heading to Victoria's Secret as soon as they get inside.
Those waiting outside Sears and Target were served free coffee by volunteers from The Movement, a new church in the mall complex. The church purchased 1,000 coffee cups and received donations from the mall and a discount from the North Commons Starbucks for the outreach event.

Ina Garten's Lemon Bars
These lemon bars are the last recipe in my Mother's day Week of Recipes. I've been making the favorite desserts of all the mothers in my life this week. Be sure to check out Coconut Cake and Golden Vanilla Pound Cake (for my grandmothers) and Pumpkin Pie (for my mother in law).
Today's recipe is in honor of my mom. She says that Lemon Meringue Pie is her favorite dessert, but since I've already posted that on the blog, she said lemon bars would be okay instead.
My mom is awesome. And just like these lemon bars, everything about her is sunny and bright! (#justcomparedmymomtolemonbars #thatjusthappened) Seriously, she's truly the happiest, cheeriest, most vivacious person I know. I'm pretty sure she'll read this and think I'm being too cheesy, but it's all true. My mom instantly brightens a room, and she has a talent for making people smile.
Beautiful, bright yellow lemons are probably the most perfect fruit to represent my mom.
Ina has never done me wrong with a recipe, and these Lemon Bars are no exception. 3 things I LOVE about this recipe:
- The crust is incredibly buttery in the most delicious way, and it pairs perfectly with the lemon.
- The gooey lemon filling is very creamy, almost custard-like, which I think is unusual in lemon bars. And after trying these, I think a creamy-gooey lemon filling should be standard!
- The top of they bars has a terrific, sugary crisp to it which rounds off a bite in just the right way.
So in a nutshell: buttery crust, creamy-gooey filling, and crispy sugar top. PERFECT!
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 extra-large eggs
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup flour
- Powdered Sugar, for dusting
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Line a 9x13 pan with foil or parchment, and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cream together the butter and sugar. Mix in the flour and salt until dough forms.
- Press the dough into the pan, building up 1/2 inch crust on all sides.
- Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Chill.
- Whisk together all of the remaining ingredients (except the powdered sugar), and pour into the cooled crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes until filling is set. Let cool to room temperature or chill overnight.
- Dust with powdered sugar before cutting and serving.

Oh that filling!! You captured it perfectly and it looks so custardy and thick and rich and just perfection! Ina…cannot go wrong with anything she makes and these are gorg! pinned
Yum, lemon-flavored things are my mom's favorite as well. And trust Ina, always!
I LOVE lemon and these look wonderful. I could eat one now at 7:30 in the morning. HA!!! I don't make many lemon things because I can't leave it alone and my hubby isn't much for it.
Beautiful lemon bars, Ashton! lemon bars are my ultimate weakness. Love the custard-like filling!
Wow, these are gorgeous. Love the filling! I've never met a lemon bar that I didn't inhale in two seconds flat, and I'm sure that these would take even less time to take care of!
Happy Mother's Day!
I am such a fan of Ina's recipes and have had major success with this lemon bar recipe as well. So glad you're sharing this as well!
Wow, these look like the perfect lemon bar! I love how thick and gooey the filling is and that perfect sugary crust!
This may be the perfect lemon bar, I love that the filling is creamy and not gelatinous like some, and the fact that it comes from Ina just makes it all the more perfect <3
Aww what a sweet post! I love that you compared your mom to lemon bars! They are fabulous and I bet your mom is too!
Isn't Ina amazing?! I absolutely must try these bars! Love the thick lemon layer! No thin bars here! Pinned!
I do have one question you said there's a sugary crunchNess on top but you don't put any sugar before you bake it I don't understand
can these be frozen for a few days?
Hi Ashton
It looks really yummy. When you say two stick of butter how many gram you mean?
Many thanks
I made these and while I love the texture and the lemony goodness, they were way too sweet. Next time I make them, I will reduce the sugar by half.
Looks sublime;) I do, however, have a jar of lemon curd in my pantry that I haven't been able to use as yet. Could I use the curd for the filling instead?
Ina, thank you for sharing this great looking recipe. I can't wait to try it, lemon is my favorite I can taste it already.
It says 6 extra large eggs… I use large eggs by the case, so how many large eggs would that be.
my batch is in the oven right now as I type. On the last ten mins. The smell in my house is SPRING!! I made a vanilla wafer crust. I hope it turns out ok. I was pressed for time but it's baking up beautifully.

& held his left arm still so the phlebotomist could find a vein &
slide the needle in to draw blood for his lead test (hopefully the
worst present turning 2 ever earns you), I thought of those things
earned by experience...or to paraphrase one of my favorite rock
lyrics, your scars make you who you are, which is from a Tinsel song
(an indie band I used to love to see from my younger days in Chapel
These thoughts that ran thru me while restraining & reassuring him led
me to consider the poetics of suffering & happiness, or I suppose,
suffering versus happiness as influence on creativity, &
penultimately, to wonder whether I had any recall of a poet or writer
whose work I was drawn to, who had a happier outlook or slant. & aside
from Seuss and some Taoist dialogues from the T'ang dynasty with wise
& playful monks, I could call to mind no others.
All of which led me to ponder whether great writing could occur amid
happiness. This is not to say that I believe no great work can be born
out of joy, or that only mining the depths of personal sorrow is
required tho some writers have obviously (maybe subconsciously) needed
to manufacture a drama in their life in order to achieve the necessary
mental state for creation. But these few are certainly not the mean or
average. I suspect that in most writers a sort of seasonal
meloncholia, based on the transition from one season to the other or
based on the characteristics found in the heart of one, such as Wolfe
and his October (which if you have ever seen North Carolina in the
fall you would understand as it is a time of true beauty but with an
underlying sadness as winter approaches steadily and more prominently
as October fades).
& then, it was over. The vials filled. A pacifier normally sequestered
to the bedroom soothed him physically, a bag of juice treats in his
hand promised some pleasure down the road, & his daddy letting him
press the elevator buttons assured him that as young as he was, as
powerless as he is now, he will grow into greater things & tho the
world includes a great measure of suffering, it does not lack for
great, if not greater, amounts of happiness.

What materials did you use? Seta-Colour Transparent paint mixed with Golden Glazing liquid on fabric, fusible web, bamboo batting
What advice would you give someone starting this project? This class was very enjoyable. It is well presented, so much so that I think anyone following the instructions could achieve wonderful results. I watched the videos first, then practiced a little. When I was ready to begin the actual project I was able to watch, pause, re-watch if necessary and simply follow along step by step. Even though I did not have the exact same materials as our instructor, I feel that this came out quite well.
This is incredible. Do you have a background in painting? I am so impressed that I want to start mine today. Carol
Thank you so much....no I do not have a background in painting, I do try to play with paints from time to time but this is the first "class" I have taken. Annette is an AWESOME instructor......watch the lesson csrefully...follow along and you will have great sucess too I am sure.

GRAND BLANC, Michigan — Following an order Wednesday by the Michigan Supreme Court, Rep. Paul Scott, R-Grand Blanc, is officially out of ways to avoid facing a recall election Nov. 8.
The decision comes after months of uncertainty and court battles. Recall organizers and the Michigan Education Association want to oust Scott, who is Chair of the House Education Committee, for a couple reasons, including his support of cuts to K-12 funding, voting for new pension taxes and influence in legislation that weakens teacher tenure protection.
It will be the only of several recall efforts against state lawmakers to actually make the November ballot. If it is successful, Scott will be the first lawmaker ousted in a recall since 1983.
If Scott is not recalled, his term will be up in a year.
That's a change from earlier polling that showed Scott losing the recall.

HOUSTON - A death-row inmate being escorted to his cell turned around suddenly and stabbed a prison guard 13 times with a sharpened metal rod, but the wounds were not considered serious, a prison spokeswoman said Wednesday.
The inmate, Jorge Salinas, was sentenced to lethal injection for the 2001 deaths of a 29-year-old man and a 21-month-old girl during a carjacking in Hidalgo County.
"His cell had just been searched and he was irate," Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokeswoman Michelle Lyons said. She said Salinas used a rod from a typewriter that he was allowed to use.
As two guards escorted Salinas on Monday night, he began swinging his hand at one of the officers, Lyons said. As the officer blocked the blow, Salinas produced the 612-inch rod and began stabbing the 24-year-old correctional officer, Lyons said.
Other officers subdued Salinas using a chemical agent, she said.
The guard was taken from the prison unit in Livingston to the Polk County Hospital, where his puncture wounds were cleansed. Lyons said he is doing fine and was expected to return to work Wednesday.

Bookatrix Embossing Board Card
By: Crafter's Companion
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This bookatrix embossing board card is perfect as a card for a special occasion or as a decoration at your next party. Leave the card standing open on an easel with a menu for your guests at your dinner parties, or use it as an announcement for a baby shower. This is a great decorative piece for any occasion!
- Bookatrix Embossing Board
- Several Sheets Of Design Paper & Card
- 2 Sheets Of Letter Size Card
- 6mm Embossing Tool
- Drier Sheet Or Candle
- Scrap Pieces Of Card In Various Colours
- PVA Adhesive
- Foam Pads
- Stamped Images
- Ribbons
- Embellishments
- Scissors
Step 1
To create the first base layer of the book, we recommend using a thick cardstock to give the book some substance. Lay this cardstock face down on the board butted up against the raised upstands in the top corner. Rub the drier sheet or candle onto the wrong side of the card which is facing you. This will make the reverse of the card slippy, and enable the tool to glide smoothly over the sheet. Where you see the top 3 channels beginning in the middle of the board, run the tool down these to emboss.
Step 2
Begin with the tool in the leading channel which starts to the top left off the cardstock. Push the tool firmly into the card and then drag it towards you until you feel some resistance. Here the channel changes direction - just move the tool around until you feel the new direction of the channel and continue with this until you have completed the shape. Once you have embossed the whole page, lift it from the board and cut around outside of the embossed line.
Step 3
Take a piece of design paper or vellum and lay this face down on the board in the same way. Repeat he same procedure
as outlined above, but this time with the second size book pages inside the outer layer. Cut around the outer edge of the
embossed design once again. Tip: you may want to use decorative edged scissors to cut some of the pages to add a little something special to your project.
Step 4
Continue embossing all of different sized layers of the book in this way with different papers or vellums until all 4 layers are
embossed and cut out. The final top layer will become the page of the book to which you can add your own personalised
sentiment or greeting. This project works well with even fewer than 4 layers if you want a less complex design that is quicker
to complete. To give the pages dimension, roll each side over a rolling pin to give a rounded effect like a real book.
Step 5
Because each layer of the card needs to have dimension the spine of each layer needs to be glued on top of one another
with strong glue (PVA) to stop it popping off the card. You can then use foam pads or silicone to raise the pages up from each
other. Lay a strip of ribbon down the spine of the card and stick into place then add a bow. Add a sentiment or embellishment as desired to the front pages. You can either glue the whole book onto the front of a piece of cardstock or leave it free standing.

Former NBA player Steve Francis has been accused of sexual assaulting a 20-year old woman in Texas in May 2010, TMZ reports.
The accuser, Shauna Simien, alleges in a police report that Francis "groped" her through her clothing. She filed a complaint with the police immediately after the alleged incident, according to the report. The case, however, is still open and no charges have been filed, law enforcement officials told TMZ.
Simien told TMZ that she is a singer who was signed to Francis' record label, and that the incident occurred during a meeting with Francis to discuss her contract. Simien said some of her friends intervened when she screamed for Francis to stop.
TMZ has so far been unable to get a response from Francis.
Francis' NBA career lasted for nine seasons, during which he played in Houston, Orlando and New York. He had career averages of 18.1 points, 6.0 assists and 5.6 rebounds. He went on to play for the Beijing Ducks in 2010.

Problems with newly added plants/Questions about fertilizer dosage
We have newly set up our 240 liter aquarium about two and a half weeks ago. We used your product (2 "large" buckets") as a bottom gravel fertilizer. The plants generally grow fairly well. However, the leaves unfortunately become very pale and thin.
what kinds of plants are they? It is absolutely normal that the leaves of swamp plants such as Echinodorus or Anubias species dissolve at the beginning: These plants are cultivated emersed (with their leaves in the air), they discard these leaves in case of submersed (under water) life and grow new ones. The
submersed leaves may have different shapes than the emersed ones, giving the plant a different optical appearance afterwards!
Measuring the water parameters revealed that there is hardly any iron.
This is not too important at the beginning, regular fertilization does not begin until the plants have grown on and start growing new leaves. However, iron can not be detected when using bottom fertilizers anyway, this is normal. The nutrients are by and by released, and then immediately taken up by the roots, thus there are no considerable amounts freely in the water which could be monitored).
Do we need to add other fertilizers apart from the bottom gravel fertilizer? If yes: How can we check when to use which product?
You can monitor "only" liquid fertilizers such as sera florena (see above for an explanation, please). Bottom fertilizers (sera florenette A, sera floreplus) are dosed according to the plants; you will quickly get a feeling for it (just as with indoor or garden plants).
Best regards

On November 15, 2012, Michael R. Starzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Bonanza Creek Energy, Inc. (the "Company"), established a pre-arranged stock trading plan (the "Plan") with a broker to sell shares of the Company's common stock for long-term asset diversification and estate and tax planning purposes, which include obtaining funds for the payment of certain tax obligations triggered by the Company's 2010 recapitalization and in connection with Mr. Starzer's 2012 charitable gift to Colorado School of Mines. Pursuant to Company policy, Mr. Starzer is required to meet a stock ownership threshold of five times his base salary. His current stock ownership significantly exceeds ten times his base salary, and, after the sale, will continue to significantly exceed ten times his base salary.
The Plan was established and approved in accordance with the Company's insider trading policy and the guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which permits directors, officers and other insiders to adopt a pre-arranged stock trading plan at a time when they do not possess material nonpublic information. Using these trading plans, individuals may prudently and gradually diversify their investment portfolios over an extended period of time in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating stock transactions while in possession of material nonpublic information. No trades may be executed under the terms of the Plan for at least 30 days following its adoption. Actual transactions made under the Plan will be reported publicly from time to time on forms filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This Form 8-K is being filed for informational purposes only. Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report modifications, terminations or other activities under the Plan or other current or future 10b5-1 trading plans established by our officers and directors.

While everybody else joining Probloggers group writing project on reviews and predictions, are writing on general topics and ideas, let me be regionalistic on my entry for this contest by writing about Filipino bloggers. Why? Because I am a Filipino, a blogger, and hoping to make it big in the blogging world someday. Enough said, here are five reasons/prediction why I think Filipino bloggers will make it bigger in 2007.
1 ) 2006 was a great time for Filipino bloggers whether based in the Philippines or anywhere else. More and more Filipino bloggers have joined the ranks of full time network bloggers in various worldwide blogging networks. The most recent of which was of course the heralding of the Blog Herald by none other than top Filipino Pro-bloggers Abe Olandres and J. Angelo Racoma.
2) More and more Filipino blogs are being cited either as sources of gossip, relevant news, insider reports, or opinions that matter, by the more established news agencies and web sites.
3) More and more Filipino non-probloggers are registering and opening an account with Blogger.com. Be it a personal blog, a corporate blog, an association blog, a baby blog or what-have-yous, there's even a pinoy chicken blog. There's no doubt that, Filipinos are so much into blogging. The good thing is, most of the more prolific Filipino bloggers started out with a Blogspot account. And most of them are currently successful bloggers in their chosen niche.
4) Blogging will become a subject study of IT courses in Philippines schools, topics of IT related seminar and workshops, or perhaps even a blogging law will be enacted in the Philippine Senate.
5) The Philippine president will have her own blog and it will have a Google PR8, will be the most favorited blog at Technorati, and will have an Alexa Rank of less than 100. Because of this, the president will designate a national blogger's day sometime during the year. It will be a national non-working holiday for the whole Philippine archipelago. Who knows?, the president might create a Blogging Commission and Abe Olandres might be appointed as its top honcho.
There you have it. The top five reasons why Filipino bloggers will make it big in 2007. 1-3 of course are legitimate and serious reasons. As for the last part of item number 4 and number five, you should get a life if you think that I'm serious about it.

Turok Summary
Turok Review
The Turok series has been taken over by a new publisher, Touchstone Studios. Has the new crew added some substance to the series, or is it the same old game?
Latest news
Night Dive releases Turok Remastered trailer and announces release date
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter was a game that set the bar upon its arrival back in 1997 almost 20 years ago. In its time it was the benchmark of what a video game could do when pushed to its limit on the then-current technology. Night Dive Studios has been on a mission to bring Turok back for modern day audiences with an HD remaster of the game and today the studio offered a new trailer and a release date.
Night Dive shows off screenshots of Turok Remastered
The original Turok game came out on N64 in 1997 and was one of the most visually impressive games of its time. Running it on a PC was nigh impossible without a top-of-the-line maxed out rig. Recently, Night Dive Studios has been working on reviving some classic games - Turok 1 and 2 among them - and has some screenshots to share from the project.
Night Dive Studios working on PC remasters for Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Seeds of Evil
Night Dive Studios, specialist in updating and remastering classic games, has announced that it's taking on classic dino-murdering shooters Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil.
Though it seems like nowadays they're best known as N64 games, both titles were actually also released on the PC, in 1997 and 1999 respectively.
Propaganda Games shut down
It comes as no surprise to hear that Propaganda Games, a developer who produced two critical and sales flops and a canceled game, is being shuttered by Disney Interactive.

I have been the administrator for the Project Team since January 2004. I have, amongst other things, organised the internal and external consultation sessions and our research visits.
Early in the project while we were developing the brief with our architects we started to consult users and potential users of our education facilities. We worked with the Sorrell Foundation who identified schools in Tyne and Wear, Halesowen West Midlands and Greenwich, London. Each school provided us with a team of Special Advisors aged between 12 and 16. First they visited the V&A to get a feel for the Museum and what it was currently offering for this age group. It quickly became apparent that it was very difficult to discuss spaces that were not yet built! So we asked each group to visit other venues near them and report back to us on what they liked and disliked. They were brutally honest. Their opinion on one venue that shall remain nameless was: 'the light is glaring, the walls are bare, the furniture's old-fashioned, there aren't any objects…'
All of them came back to present their ideas to the V&A and to the architects. This was a very successful day and we all learned a lot from the young people who participated. There were some very definite messages that came from this consultation and which were fed into the design process. Key words were:
- Modernity
- Colour, light and atmosphere
- Personalised space, variety and choice
- Interactivity

Figure 1. Cardiomegaly with pulmonary venous congestion is seen on the chest x-ray film.
Figure 2. The electrocardiogram shows deep Q waves with ST segment elevation and T-wave inversion in leads I, aVL, V5, and V6.
The clinical presentation coupled with evidence of cardiomegaly and congestive heart failure on chest x-ray film and the electrocardiogram features of anterolateral myocardial infarction suggested the diagnosis of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, which was subsequently confirmed by angiocardiography.
The embryologic origin of the anomalous left coronary artery is either an abnormality in the septation of the conotruncus into the aorta and pulmonary artery or an abnormal persistence of the pulmonary buds and involution of the aortic buds that form the coronary arteries.1
Anatomically in this anomaly, the left coronary artery arises from the pulmonary artery, while the right coronary artery arises normally from the anterior aortic sinus. During fetal life, perfusion of the myocardium via the pulmonary artery is at pressures and oxygen saturation similar to those of the aorta. After birth, pulmonary artery pressure falls, and perfusion of the left coronary artery is compromised. In addition, pulmonary arterial blood is relatively desaturated, creating an inability to meet the high oxygen demand of the left ventricular wall, leading to myocardial ischemia. In response to these changes, the anomalous coronary artery dilates, and collateral vessels from the normal right coronary artery may develop. Since pressure in the anomalous left coronary artery is lower than in the right, blood may preferentially flow from the right coronary artery through collateral vessels into the left coronary artery and retrograde into the pulmonary artery, creating a coronary steal.
The degree of collateral flow and resultant perfusion of the anterolateral wall of the left ventricle determine when and if myocardial ischemia will occur. If collateral circulation is poor, symptoms and signs of myocardial ischemia occur early in infancy; but if well developed, individuals may reach adulthood without symptoms of myocardial muscle compromise.
In most of these infants, symptoms of myocardial ischemia, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction appear between 2 weeks and 6 months after birth, and include recurrent episodes of restlessness, irritability, incessant crying, and dyspnea, often associated with pallor and sweating. These episodes are most frequent during feeding, which corresponds to physical exertion for the infant. Irritability and crying are attributed to angina pectoris. Signs of congestive heart failure may be present, including tachypnea, tachycardia, gallop rhythm, cardiomegaly, and hepatomegaly. A murmur of mitral insufficiency may be heard, the result of infarction of a papillary muscle.
The electrocardiogram characteristically demonstrates an anterolateral infarction pattern with broad, deep Q waves in leads I, aVL, and the left precordium. These changes are often associated with persistent ST-segment elevation and T-wave inversion. Chest radiographs typically show moderate to severe cardiomegaly and pulmonary venous congestion. Echocardiography with Doppler color-flow mapping may successfully identify the anomalous vessels, but cardiac catheterization and angiography may be needed to demonstrate the anomalous anatomy and retrograde filling of the left coronary artery via collaterals from a dilated right coronary artery, with subsequent flow of contrast into the pulmonary artery.
More than 80% of infants with this anomaly develop symptoms and signs of cardiac damage or failure in infancy, and about 65% to 85% die before 1 year of age.2- 4 Infants who survive generally have well-established coronary artery collateral circulation. These individuals may present later in childhood, adolescence, or even in adulthood with angina on effort or with congestive heart failure from mitral incompetence.5,6

.410 Shotgun ammo-

Handloading and Reloading
> .410 Shotgun ammo-
January 1, 2003, 05:05 PM
Does anyone know of a source for .410 game loads? Most places I've seen ask a premium price for them! Would it be worthwhile to reload?

Depends on how often you shoot .410 and how many rounds you shoot. If you all ready reload shotshells. All else being equal (same powder, just less; same shot, just less; same primer) and you save your empty hulls, the only .410 items you'll need is wads and the reloader. .410 will most likely be one of the better, cost of material and loading vs. buying from a store loaded, deals per box. But it is the cost of the reloader when included is where you have to ask do I shoot enough .410 to pay for the reloader.
January 1, 2003, 06:42 PM
If you shoot the 410 much at all a reloader will be paid for in no time. You can get started loading them for under $100 easily with a single stage press. 410 is the worst to load though, just a PITA. The small wads and small hulls make it a little trickier than the others, but it is not too difficult once you get going. Press adjustments also need to be nearly perfect to keep from thrashing the hulls.
Factory 410 loads are premium priced no matter what load you pick. Part of it is volume, 410 just is not very popular.
January 1, 2003, 11:55 PM
I teach shotgunning to Boy Scouts, who start at 11 years old. I have a beautiful and historic Stevens .410 side-by-side that is the perfect size and weight for a young shooter. It is the gun my grandmother used to win the first PCAA women's trap event back in the early twenties.(She was already a champion archer.)
Is a press for a .410 common, or are they all the same? I have access to a 20ga. MEC set-up.
January 2, 2003, 12:32 AM
MEC does make a 410 press. They are a good value in my opinion as well, I have several. Take a look at the MEC website to see what they offer.

Before Loretta Fuddy stepped onto her fateful flight from Kalaupapa on Wednesday afternoon, she met with patients and Department of Health workers and officials at the settlement that was once a leprosy colony.
"She was very open to the workers, which was awesome," said Health Department worker and office assistant Rafael Torres on Thursday. "She really heard everybody's input . . . and it's hard because you could see she was listening and had solutions in her head."
At the conclusion of the visit, her third visit to Kalaupapa this year, Fuddy, 65, stepped aboard the Cessna Grand Caravan for the flight back to Oahu.

Loretta Fuddy
"All you could ask for in a boss"
She would not make it home.
The state Department of Health director died Wednesday afternoon when the Makani Kai Air flight with her aboard crashed in the ocean northwest of Molokai's Kalaupapa peninsula. Of the nine people aboard, she was the only fatality.
"It was mentioned (Wednesday) that she tries to visit with every department annually, and this visit was scheduled months ago," said Torres. "Usually, she comes in the summer, but it was pushed back and this was finally a time that she could do it."
She listened to the concerns of the patients and workers for several hours alongside state Deputy Director Keith Yamamoto. The settlement run by the Health Department is still home to a few former Hansen's disease patients.
Some of the issues that came up included budgets, jobs, equipment and even abandoned vehicles that needed to be shipped away from the area on barges. She listened, which had become a trademark.
Torres was "really grateful" for someone in her position to hear the opinions and suggestions coming from the small settlement.
"I went to her and talked with her a little bit about some of my personal concerns with what was going on over here, and she was open to that," said Torres, who had known Fuddy for only a couple of years. "That's all you could ask for in a boss."
Others who knew her on Maui and across the state, who were mourning her loss, pointed to other strong character traits.
State Sen. Roz Baker, who represents South and West Maui, has served in the Legislature for 20 years and remembered Fuddy as a "problem-solver" with a "big heart."
"I've known Loretta forever and just had the greatest admiration for her," said Baker, currently vice chairwoman of the Senate Health Committee. "I just can't believe she's gone. She was just a great advocate for kids and adults with developmental disabilities, mental health issues. . . . She tried really hard to make government work for those frail and fragile individuals.
"It's a huge loss for the department and for all of us."
Fuddy, affectionately known as "Deliana," grew up in Kaimuki, Oahu, and later graduated from Sacred Hearts, the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Public Health. She had more than 30 years of experience in health and human services and was appointed to her position as director in 2011 by Gov. Neil Abercrombie.
"When we confirmed her three years ago, there was nobody that came to say anything negative about Deliana," Baker said.
Aside from serving as Health Department director, Fuddy was chairwoman of the Hawai'i Public Health Association, president of the Association of State and Territorial Public Health Social Workers, treasurer and secretary of the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, and served on the Policy Committee of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officers.
Baker worked closely with Fuddy throughout her career on issues such as dental hygiene, obesity and premature baby birth.
"She always wanted to make sure we had a good look at population health (or) any group having difficulties accessing care," she said.
Other Maui County state representatives and senators shared their condolences Thursday.
Sen. J. Kalani English, who represents East Maui, Upcountry, Molokai and Lanai, said Fuddy "demonstrated an unwavering support for Hawaii" and "will be dearly missed."
House Speaker Joe Souki, who represents Wailuku, said Fuddy "led with grace during difficult times" and was a "champion for mothers, newborns and early childhood care."
Lt. Gov. Shan Tsutsui also sent thoughts and prayers to Fuddy's family and friends and called her a "fiercely committed individual, who served tirelessly as a champion for the people of Hawaii."
"We are deeply saddened by her passing, and we will feel a void in our hearts and in this administration," he said.
Torres said Fuddy's death was first announced at Kalaupapa Airport, where he and some of the survivors were assembled. While the survivors were being evaluated and tended to by nurses, Kalaupapa Health Department Administrator Mark Miller broke the news.
"He gathered all of us up and wanted to make an announcement and let us know what happened . . . but it was obvious who didn't make it because we all knew Fuddy was on the plane," Torres said, adding that she wasn't at the airport with other survivors.
He learned of the plane crash from a friend in Denver.
"A minute later my co-worker came in and said a plane went down and that's when I got my shoes on and headed out the door," he said. "The administrator said rally whatever nurses we could and jumped on a truck and looked for nurses not on scene and headed out to the airport."
Torres said several nurses, health and National Park workers transported blankets, pillows, food and water to the airport.
"Everyone looked shocked and shaken up," he said. "Everybody was pretty quiet."
He didn't talk much about the crash with survivors. He added that there would have been a lot fewer health volunteers if the crash had occurred on the weekend.
"If it was on a weekend, nobody would be down here," he said. "Nobody would've known."

Who might be the most likely to win a gold medal at the 2006 Olympic Games for the ladies
In my opinion I think it would be michelle kwan! She is the best. Artistry and probably by 2006. Triple Triple combinations.
Who might be the most likely to win a gold medal at the 2006 Olympic Games for the ladies
In my opinion I think it would be michelle kwan! She is the best. Artistry and probably by 2006. Triple Triple combinations.
Oooups, now that is embarrassing: I've voted for Kwan; wrong line of course, shouldn't do something like this early in the morning! :D In fact I think Kwan won't even make the podium. And which triple/triple combinations did you mean?
I seriously believe three Japanese Ladies will make 1-2-3, in which order ever ...
Anke....finally we've converted you! HAHAHA! Though it was tough, I can now see all of my (and Mathman's) efforts have not been in vain. LOL. Seriously though, I think this one is too tough to call. I think the 2004-2005 season will tell us so much more. Will Michelle come back with more choreography and a 3/3? Will Shizuka be able to maintain and even improve upon her World title winning form? Will Sasha put some fire into her performances and stay on her feet? Will some nameless teen queen decimate the competition with a once-in-a-lifetime 3/3 fest? Who knows! I think Anke is right about one thing though....the Japanese women should be strong contenders for medals. After all, they have Arakawa, Suguri, Ando, Ota and probably others that I can't even remember right now. I believe this will be one of the most tightly contested, exciting Olympic events in years (and not just the ladies, but for all of the other disciplines as well).
Glee is a wonderful thing from time to time, don't you think?Originally Posted by BronzeisGolden
I'm with "Bronze". I think some nameless teen will come in armed with a couple of 3/3's and skate the program of her life, then go away to finish 8th grade or start a singing career or design cute little T-shirt tops for "Fashion Bug" or KMart.
I'm thinking that Kimmie Meisner or Katy Taylor might make it to the Olympic podium by 2006. I doubt if either Kwan or Arakawa will be a factor. Ota or Ando or another Japanese girl for sure. I'm placing my bet now, tho, on Sasha for the Gold.
So many options to put and you only put the top 3 of Worlds
I have no idea who will win this one. It's too close between a bunch of skaters. There is Shizuka, the reigning World champion who has no problem landing 3/3 and is improving well in the rest of her skating, Sasha Cohen who if clean IMO is almost unbeatable (and she will skate one day that clean program), there's Miki Ando who's improving SO much, Carolina Kostner, Irina Slutskaya we will see, Michelle Kwan is always a factor...
I just don't see why so many people are expecting an unknown name to win. It seems they forget that Tara Lipinski was a National Champion and reigning World Champion entering the Olympics, that Sarah Hughes had beaten Michelle and irina before and was a Worlds bronze medallist and that Oksana Baiul was the reigning World Champion going to the Olympics and had already won medals at Euros. IMO it's silly to expect someone they can't even name to win Olympics LOL Like judges award Olympic medals to skaters they never heard of before. Unless they have a minimum of experience skating internationally they don't give Olympic titles that way LOL
What's a 3/3 fest? I don't think you noticed how many 3/3s were landed in Dortmund. Even Idora Hegel and Anna-Sophie Calvez who finished out of the top 10 landed triple-triple combinations. After the SP, half the ladies in the top 6 landed a clean 3/3. In the SP!Originally Posted by BronzeisGolden
You don't win a competition now by having 3/3s. You win a major competition if you are already a very good skater who happens to have 3/3s in their arsenal.
I think it will be Sasha or some upcoming skater from Japan or America. Lots of Japanese women are working on the 3axel/quads so they will probably be a threat to other skaters. Or maybe there will be someone from Europe. It's so hard to tell right now!
I see Sasha winning it in 2006. I think she's slowly building to the podium which is how Katarina Witt and other gold medalists have done.
I'm not sure how the Japanese ladies will factor. I do think people are kind of premature in cutting Fumie out. One thing that impresses me about Fumie is that she's losing some of her consistency in her jumps b/c she's developing a new jumping technique which is allowing her to get more height on the jumps. I like the fact that she's doing this a few years before the Olympics verses waiting until 2005 to do so (she talked about this in depth in a skating magazine , I think Spotlight on Ice). I think Fumie is going to be a factor in the games. She will definitely be the dark horse and in terms of pressure, she won't have as many eyes looking at her as Arakawa, Ando and Cohen. We all know how the pressure got to Midori Ito.
Well, I would imagine a 3/3 fest would be a situation in which many 3/3s were landed. It was actually just a light comment meant to be humorous! But, seeing that the last two Olympic champions have won their titles based largely upon their successful completion of 3/3 combinations I can't imagine the trend will change all that much. Also, in no place in my post did I ever say that 3/3s alone win titles. Could Lipinski and Hughes have won their Olympic titles without them? No, thus they were and are extremely vital. Arakawa would not be World Champion without her 3/3s, etc. I'm not saying that is all there is, but it is certainly a huge part of the package now. As for the "nameless" teen comment...also meant to be humorous, but again I was referring to the fact that absolutely no one I know would have singled out Lipinski or Hughes as favorites one and a half years before (Summer of 1996 for Lipinski, summer of 2000 for Hughes) their respective Olympic experiences. That doesn't mean they weren't known....but they weren't the main names being tossed about in pre-Olympic discussions (occuring 1 1/2 years beforehand) such as this one. LOL, goodness, I'll certainly try to be more thorough next time!What's a 3/3 fest? I don't think you noticed how many 3/3s were landed in Dortmund. Even Idora Hegel and Anna-Sophie Calvez who finished out of the top 10 landed triple-triple combinations
I really think Sasha has the inside track on this one. All she needs is a 3-3 combo and a clean performance and she will win the gold. If Michelle had the same, who will the judges go for? I think they will go for Sasha's flexibility (not a big factor in my book) and innovative spins (big factor in my book). The COP favors Sasha. The judges have always ignored Sasha's flutzes and gave her credit for lutzes. Shizuka will need a big advantage over both MK and SC, like she did in worlds 2004 to win the gold. The teens are always lurking, but I think this will be the year the OGM will go to a mature lady (yes, Sasha will be that by 2006).
The dark horse could be Carolina Kostner, skating in her home country. That could sway the judges but she will have to skate clean to beat the top 3 ladies in the world (Shizuka, Sasha, Michelle) to win the OGM.
Gee, reading everybody's post has really made me realize how boring the ladies scene is now and will be for the coming 2 years....
Wow, I have a completely different opinion. I think that by reading everyone's posts we can see that no one has a clue of what's going to happen. I think what makes a competition exciting and not boring is precisely not knowing how the results will be LOL I think the ladies discipline became extremely interesting this last season, even with a pretty much unexpected World Champion... hope it will be the same next season and better if possible!

Authorities are looking for the culprits who held three men at gunpoint outside a Houston gameroom on Friday afternoon, KHOU-Channel 11 reports.
The victims were attacked at about 1:30 p.m., KHOU says, as they were leaving the Airline Gameroom off Airline Drive near I-45. Three men in a turquoise Durango reportedly pulled in front of the victims' car, jumped out and demanded money.
One of the victims tried to drive away, but crashed into an SUV, KHOU says. No injuries were reported.
The driver told KHOU:
"They stopped like they were in front of us and then they jumped out with guns, but I didn't have no choice but to run out there in traffic."
The suspects reportedly fled and left their vehicle at a mechanic shop nearby. The then left in a blue Cadillac, a witness told KHOU.

Multiple sclerosis patients and others urged state lawmakers today to legalize the use of marijuana in New Jersey to ease suffering, but others warned the practice could spur more drug abuse.
"We all are living proof that this is effective. This is common sense,'' said Scott Ward of Robbinsville, a multiple sclerosis (MS) patient and former Marine who said minimal daily use of marijuana has made drastic improvements in his qualify of life.
Ward was one of several advocates who testified before the Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee. They spoke in favor of a bill (A-804) that would given special legal protection to victims of serious illness who smoke marijuana to ease their pain or symptoms.
The committee did not vote on the issue and Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Mercer) said he will consider changes and consult with Assembly leaders before deciding his next step.
"This doesn't make marijuana rampant in society,'' said Gusciora, who is also a municipal prosecutor. "Medical marijuana should be a last resort when all other drugs do not work."
Twelve states have legalized the practice, while two others have reduced criminal penalties. The federal government still considers marijuana use a crime even in those 14 states, but the assemblyman said most federal prosecutions involve major pushers.
David Evans, a Flemington attorney and a cancer survivor who once endorsed the practice, said he now believes the medicinal use movement is a front for groups who want broader legalization of marijuana.
"You might do more harm by passing this bill than by not passing this bill,'' he said.
A representative of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence-New Jersey also voiced concern, saying the Food and Drug Administration has refused to approve the practice, because officials there remained dubious about health benefits and fearful of potential for abuse.
"Allowing marijuana to be used for medical purposes will lead to increased access and perceived availability to those that are not authorized to use it,'' said Candice Singer.

Media sometimes try, fail to keep NSA's secrets
LONDON -- News organizations publishing leaked National Security Agency documents have inadvertently disclosed the names of at least six intelligence workers and other government secrets they never intended to give away, an Associated Press review has found.
The accidental disclosures illustrate the risks of even well-intentioned, public-interest reporting on highly secret U.S. programs.
In some cases, prominent newspapers including the New York Times quickly pulled down government records they published online and recensored them to hide information they accidentally exposed. On one occasion, the Guardian newspaper published an NSA document that appeared to identify an American intelligence target living abroad. Before the newspaper could fix its mistake, a curious software engineer, Ron Garret, of Emerald Hills, Calif., tried to contact the man at his office.
"I figured someone ought to give him the heads up," Garret told the Associated Press.
The inadvertent disclosures, which include technical details and other information, are another complication in the ethically and technically challenging coverage of the NSA's surveillance programs.
Journalists who have seen the unfiltered secrets leaked by former intelligence worker Edward Snowden agree that some things are off-limits for publication. But media organizations sometimes have struggled to keep them that way.

Former Vermont fire chief faces embezzlement chargeThe Associated Press | February 26,2013BENNINGTON — A former Vermont fire chief has been accused of fraud and embezzlement stemming from a department-sponsored raffle.
Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette says people who won prizes in the raffle never received them. They also say money paid for raffle tickets was never turned over to the department.
Joseph Hayes was Bennington Rural Fire Department chief. He lost his bid to be re-elected as chief last month.
The Bennington Banner reports (http://bit.ly/XDg3A5) Hayes was cited for false pretenses and embezzlement. His wife, Angela, was cited as being an accessory to the false pretenses charge.
Hayes is on probation after pleading guilty last month to a disorderly conduct charge. That stemmed from an incident at an emergency scene last June where Hayes threw a flashlight at a vehicle.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER After sitting on the Vermont Supreme Court for nearly 30 years, Justice John Dooley...

Pittsford, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills are at the center of the football world.
It's Sunday night, moments before the Bills are scheduled to begin their first practice of training camp. Fans who have been sitting in their seats for nearly an hour shout encouragement at the players waiting to take the field. In a few minutes, the Bills will start the first practice of the NFL season and, for now, all eyes are on them.
Peter King of Sports Illustrated, Albert Breer of the NFL Network and Sal Paolantonio of ESPN roam the sidelines as the Bills run onto the field to a huge ovation from a crowd of more than 4,000 Bills fans at St. John Fisher College. For three hours, the national media — most of whom haven't been kind to Buffalo in preseason predictions — will be fixated on the Bills.
Practice starts with up-tempo warmup drills as excitement builds among fans.
"I can see the difference in camp already!" one fan hollers prematurely.
While it's tough to see a difference in a few hours of practice, the fans make sure the players can feel a difference. Every time first-round pick Sammy Watkins touches the ball, he's greeted with cheers. Every deep pass has fans holding their collective breath. With every positive play, whether it's defensive end Jerry Hughes creating pressure or wide receiver Mike Williams skying for a sideline pass from EJ Manuel, hope once again begins to build for Bills fans.
"That's whats great about this game," head coach Doug Marrone says. "Everyone's heading into camp, everyone's excited, everybody's fresh."
As the Bills work through some early rust on the field, Bills fans are in mid-season form, making sure King and Breer notice every big play as it happens.
"NFL Network better not be dogging us this year," they urge as Breer walks by.
Even as practice goes into the second and third hour, the energy from the crowd hardly lets up. Music pumps through the speakers to add to the atmosphere and keeps players communicating with one another. The first practice comes with a positive (the play of Watkins) and negatives (two players leaving the field prematurely and the absence star defensive tackle Marcell Dareus).
But as players made their way off the field and through the gauntlet of fans awaiting autographs, they couldn't help but smile at the crowd. Even rookie tackle Cyrus Kouandjio, who played in front of some of the best fans in college football at Alabama, was taken aback by the crowd.
"They're up there, to tell you the truth, it's different up here," Kouandjio says with a smirk. "It's different up here. They're a lot more into it. I like all the dressing up. That's the NFL I guess. That's NFL football."
For three hours on a Sunday night, the Bills were NFL football. In the coming days, NFL teams will open camp, and soon the Bills will be put on the back burner. But even with a team with uncertainty surrounding ownership and plenty of questions to answer on the field, the Bills felt like the right team to kick off training camp, and the Bills' fans helped make Pittsford, N.Y., a fitting setting for the start of the season.

GEF SGP Promotes Biogas Plants in Uzbekistan
2 April 2012: The Global Environmental Facility (GEF) Small Grants Programme (SGP) has presented the results of a project approved in 2009 to promote biogas in rural Uzbekistan.
A US$21,296 GEF SGP grant supported the development of biogas plants on Nadejda Farm in Uzbekistan, a project that included the construction of biogas plant by local farm owners, raising awareness about biogas plants as an alternative energy technology, and more access to training by other farmers. Currently, the plant provides the farm with enough gas for cooking, hot water, and heating. Furthermore, it produces enough electricity to pump water to three nearby farms and approximately 30 households in the vicinity. It is estimated that this new biogas plant technology avoids the equivalent of more than 155 tons of CO2 emissions annually through utilization of cattle manure for production of electricity (avoiding methane emissions). The grant has also been used to support the training of 200 farmers in the region and the Nadejda Farm which, with the support of the UN Development Programme (UNDP), has become a demonstration site for biogas technology in the region.

text: Yes, that's exactly the gap I'm talking about. If I didn't have any underwear on, it would be like where's my toolbox because I'm a plumber now. And if it's true they are supposed to be worn at the hip, well then, the crotch is down between my thighs and I have to keep forcing my pants lower because they won't stay there. So I have to either wear a belt with all my pants to force the gap closed or else I will sew some elastic in there. I don't often do that, but it has worked wonders when I've done it. You have to rip some threads out of the waist band's seam and then put a strip of elastic inside. Sew one end down, then stretch it far, pin it in place and sew the other end down. Then replace the ripped out threads on the waist band. Now you can't even see what was done.
