first, sorry, i meant sewers not cutters
second, i swear the sewing is all possible and furthermore easy. honestly, just go to immigrant areas in your city (sorry this sounds so stupid but anyway continuing on) look for upstairs buildings in metropolitan areas near china town or whatever that have the window blinds drawn and then go find out if they are sewing shops.
they most likely wont speak enough english for you to communicate anyway except by hand gestures and their extensive knowledge of sewing and your sample, so it won't matter that its also hard to communicate with factories in china.
be like, i need ten of these, they'll be like ok 20 dollars each and then you pay it and boom you have ten shirts. or whatever, really bad guesstimate.
3k per bolt is expensive, look harder for places you can get cheaper fabric. what you want is probably already made somewhere anyway.
if you're dead set on getting your own fabric then good luck.
honestly no hate, i'm just trying to help you. i don't really know anything about you or anything, just, i think it will be easier to get started more simple than custom fabrics and etc. there are so many mills out there in the world that it will be almost impossible to run into your exact fabric anyway even if it isn't custom.

the yarn is simple, bulky acrylic and after steaming and pressing it came out with such a soft hand and in the right light has a bit of a golden glimmer

anyone got any tutorials on how to make oversized but sort of tailored T-shirts? kind of like the Rick Owens ones?
Rotate seams to back and lengthen; repeat
But the fit is only half of a Rick shirt, the fabrics are incredible (ribbed silk/viscose, unstable cotton, etc) and good luck finding something comparable

that shirt with the club collar and camo pocket is freaking amazing!
yeah the club collar was actually (and surprisingly) very difficult to make. it has to taper at a certain rate or else it warps and looks like shit. i flew back home for the holidays, and when i was there I had my mom do it. it took us 3 versions before getting it right. if you ever see a shirt with a club collar and it's NOT more expensive than the rest, you should get it because it's definitely crafted carefully.

I'll post some sock pics shortly, those came out interesting to say the least. we used wool from ardelaine in the ardeche and after a month of wear they developed holes. that particular wool is better suited to sweaters than socks.

I'm interested in making my own pair of jeans, can anyone share any tips/give a rough price estimate? I've never sewn or anything but I want to try my hand at it and perhaps I'll get the hang of it.
Ok I'll assume you have a machine, and can figure out a pattern or how to flat pattern or whatever and just talk price.
You can find denim anywhere from like $8 to $20 a yard, and then way more than that, depending. If you want selvege denim you're probably looking at $11 to $15 a yard, and up from that. You know, it all depends, you can pay up to any amount. You probably want 2-3 yards of denim. If you're good it will probably take less than 2, but just to be safe since it's your first time, so I'll estimate that to like $30.
I don't know about the hardware, but I can't imagine it's that expensive. So probably around $20 all together, but that really is a guess. But zippers and whatever else aren't that expensive.
Pocket cotton doesn't really cost that much since you'll only be buying a little bit, and string is only a few bucks.
So probably like $50, depending. Less if you buy cheap denim (but why go too cheap when you're trying to make yourself something?) or more if you buy expensive stuff.

Posted 29 March 2012 - 02:39 AM
damn thanks for the help my dude.
so I don't have a machine or know anything about pattern...machine is pretty self explanatory but pattern?
um idk man i used to work as a cutter for a womenswear line and the past few things i've made i just flat pattern things and copy things i have.
how you do that is just figure out what all the pieces of a garment are, and then carefully copy them with some seam allowance (can be however much you like, you know, half an inch or so probably) so you have room to sew, ie not make it smaller. i just put a piece of clothing on top of fabric and cut around the pieces with a little extra room for sewing.
idk if thats like something easy to do, so maybe you want to go down to a sewing store and ask them about patterns, or maybe you want to try it out with paper or something first to see if you can do it.
if you have a pattern from online, a book, a friend, where ever, you just make pattern pieces out of it on something stiff (maybe) or i know people who do it on butcher paper. actually, a lot of industry people just print out pieces on huge printers, but anyway, you want to just make a pattern piece, cut it out of paper, and then put the paper on the fabric and a weight on top of both so they don't move around and cut it out.
i've never really bought a pattern so i don't know how that works, but if you just ask at a fabric store i'm sure they would help you. or maybe your mom will know or whatever. they're pretty self explanatory i think, just be careful you put all the pieces together right.
and remember that making clothing is hard so it won't be easy and you'll probably mess up but try and have fun with it. when you buy a pair of jeans, they're made by someone very skilled, even if they're really cheap jeans. you won't be that skilled. you haven't made hundreds or thousands of pairs of jeans. but you can definitely do it, if you just work at it and take it slow.
also make sure you measure twice, cut once.
and even if you mess up, its not the end of the world.
also cut symmetrical things together, ie cut both legs at the same time by folding the fabric in half. make sure you do mirrored images, ie, fold it face face or the other way around.
and also also (sorry, keep thinking of things), you might want to change something and not just copy what you own, because it probably won't be as nice as whatever you're copying. you know, use different colors or something. changing the cut might be too complicated, idk, but you can try that too.
i just. uh. i don't know if you'll be disappointed if you try to directly copy a pair of jeans, because it probably won't come out as nice. so i would try to include things that will make you like it more, ie improve anything you copy.
not saying you're trying to copy something, just saying don't copy anything.
i mean, copy fits you like, whatever, but don't try to copy branding and that stuff. make it your own, because you're making it.
and yeah, most importantly, have fun. and don't skip out on important details.
i think somewhere in the denim section there's a really cool photo essay sort of series of posts about some artisan guy in japan who makes denim, and it has a lot of really informative pictures. that might be of use to you, idk.
god ok, one more: it also gets a lot easier the more you do, and you'll never stop learning things if you keep going with it.
and i'm not an expert really on any of this. just some guy who used to cut cloth and now makes some clothing sometimes.

Been sewing personally since junior high due to the unavailability of slim fit blanks for my too skinny graphic t-shirts at that moment.
Recently purchased a couple of industrial sewing machines off the closed garment factory nearby. Made this as a test before I make the real ones using fine materials on their way to be delivered from Europe. First I was 'shocked' at how fast these machine sew compared to my Brother & old nana's Butterfly, but I managed to finished this quite well . Now I can see what need to be changed. What u guys think?
Materials: cotton twill, way too thick PU leather, poly rib, poly lining, Gutermann poly sew all thread.

This is a question for all you fine sufu craftsmen. How much do you think it costs to make a Visvim noragi? And do you think it would be possible to create something very similar fairly easily? I ask this because it resembles my kendo keiko gi although with a slimmer cut and being a high school student I can't really afford to drop 300+ on this.
what a strange coincidence cause i was going to post in here that i was going to a custom noragi. the only problem is if i can follow through.

Birds by name
Conservation status: Red
Few people hear this master singer in the UK because of its rarity. Similar-looking to the reed warbler, it is whiter below, more olive above and has pale legs. Like other warblers it is highly active, searching its habitat of shrubs and dense vegetation for food. Though it's thought to have a secure population within Europe, the UK population of marsh warblers has fallen and is now of serious conservation concern.
Acrocephalus palustris
Warblers and allies (Sylviidae)
A summer visitor which is mainly confined to parts of Worcestershire and south-east England, especially Kent. Found in areas of dense vegetation with taller bushes nearby.
It is a summer visitor to the UK, arriving on its breeding grounds much later than its close relative, the reed warbler, typically from late May to mid-June.
Insects, and occasionally berries in autumn.
* UK breeding is the number of pairs breeding annually. UK wintering is the number of individuals present from October to March. UK passage is the number of individuals passing through on migration in spring and/or autumn.

Hi, I'm Macy Fisher the Mifflin County Dairy Princess. I am very sorry for not having an column last week. It truly just slipped my mind. I feel terrible because I know that a lot of you are dedicated readers and look forward to certain stories and columns every week but I truly am sorry.
I was glad to see that it finally warmed up this week, although it didn't have to get quite as hot as it did. The heat didn't slow me down any though. On Saturday I had to have my dairy beef and sheep at the fairgrounds for tag day. It used to be that the club leaders or FFA advisors had to go to each farm and tag the animals, but they found that this was inefficient and spread disease. With the tag day, none of the animals ever come in contact with other animals and everything is being kept clean. Leaders now meet at the fairgrounds and tag the animal on the trailer, then step in a foot bath to clean off any germs.
In Mifflin County, I think that the animals also are weighted, but in Huntingdon County they don't. So now our sheep and dairy beef are currently ready for the fair.
This week's recipes have to do with the upcoming weekend. This Sunday is Mother's Day and these recipes are sure to be fun for all mothers! The recipes are kid friendly recipes that all moms and kids can make together for a day full of memories sure to last mom a lifetime of happiness. Now when cooking with kids there are a few rules. First they must always be in constant supervision. Also when it comes to a step that deals with heat or sharp objects, you may want to step in and take control. These recipes are fun to do, though, with your kids. They will be able to sprinkle cheese or spoon yogurt. These recipes are also an easy way to make sure that your kids are eating healthy. All of the recipes are packed full of nine essential nutrients that will be fun for them to eat. They're kind of like the gummy vitamins, but they are dairy delights.

buy some wide coconut chips, toast em for 2 mins, serve with heavy cream. He'll give up cereal easy!
Trying to ween hubby off breakfast cereal, and no he will not touch meat for breakfast...
I found this recipe for granola bars at this link
1 cup natural peanut butter or almond
1/2 cup erythritol (or JUST LIKE SUGAR)
1/2 tsp stevia glycerite
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup NATURE'S HOLLOW xylitol honey
1 cup almond meal/flour
1 cup hazelnut meal (or other nut)
2 cups whey crisps or crushed macadamia nuts
1 tsp Celtic sea salt
OPTIONAL: 1/4 cup cocoa powder
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a food processor (click HERE to find the one I like on sale!), place all the ingredients and blend until a thick paste (I leave a few pieces of whey crisps whole for a crispy texture). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan (or line with parchment paper), then spread the mixture into the pan and press down to form a dense sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until slightly crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside. Makes 12 LARGE bars.
I might try making it but not happy with using the sweeteners. On the other hand if I use honey it becomes high carb...

Ugh with all those sugar alcohols, he's going to have one hell of an upset stomach, and I'm guessing the runs. I'd honestly rather eat a granola bar made out of gluten free oats, raisins and nuts than shove down all those -tol's, not to mention baking those nut meals are a recipe for lots of oxidized PUFA's and a caloric disaster. I understand people not wanting to eat carbohydrate, but replacing carbohydrate with 4 times the amount of calories and 10 times the amount of omega 6 is not a good answer IMO. He's better off eating oatmeal.
Not touching meat for breakfast is wild since bacon, sausage and eggs are breakfast staples. Maybe consider making him these coconut flour zucchini muffins I make on occasion:
They're high in protein, high in fiber, low in carbs, low GI, very low in PUFA's and they taste great. They go great with a bowl of cottage cheese with cinnamon and chocolate syrup (I reduce unsweetened cocoa powder in water and add stevia to make a syrup and you'd never know it isn't Hershey's).
If that doesn't work, maybe try making Primal-style bread. The less flax and almond meal you use the better. Coconut flour is best IMO, but this tastes great, too. It would probably be even better with grated zucchini.
This bread toasts up very well and would likely be awesome with creamed chipped beef.
Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.

Do you all have finished the testing on windows 8 ?. i cant use this software pack with my windows 8 PC. i purchased my nikon D3200 very recently.
i cant go back to win7.
please provide me a link to download windows 8 compatible application pack. it's urgent
Tnx & Regards
How am I supposed to keep and view all my photos now that I have a new laptop with windows 8?
I Invested much MONEY in Capture NX2, and Now that I have updated my Laptop to Genuine Windows 8 Pro, I cannot USE Capture NX2, Kindly fix this ASAP, We paid premium to actually USE what we paid for, Plus, Windows 8 Pro, is built very closely to Windows 7, so the fix should be easily implemented, Its not like that Nikon will have to start building an application from scratch.
Please contact Microsoft, and collaborate together to fixing this issue.
Just purchased the Nikon D600 and have a new Dell with windows 8. If they do not work together I have to return one or the other. Help please. It's January, 2013. You should know by now.
I can't believe it is taking so long to get this sorted Nikon. Bought my new laptop November 2012 and D3200 October 2012. Need a result asap pleeeeease!!!
Hello, I just read that Nikon will not provide any compatibility between Nikon Scan and Windows 8. (http://www.photographyblog.com/news/nikon_issues_windows_8_compatibility_announcement/ )
I still work a lot with my very good Nikon scanner V ED (negs and slides), how can I do in the future ? Do I have to keep working on an old machine under XP ?
Thanks for any answer !
Hi Thierry,
From the wording of their press release, it would appear that Nikon Scan won't work under Windows 8. If that interpretation is correct, you basically have two options. 1) What you've suggested - carry on using an older computer with an OS that supports Nikon Scan. 2) Try Ed Hamrick's Vuescan application under Windows 8 and see if it works properly with your scanner. Based on the info on this page, it should but I haven't tried it myself (I don't own the Nikon Coolscan V ED):
Vuescan isn't free but there's a trial version.
I don't understand all the problems my Capture NX2 and Nikon scan works perfectly with Windows 8 pro.
So you are basically saying that you have no plans to provide a method of uploading pictures from my Nikon Coolpix to my new, very expensive, windows 8 computer. If this is how you treat your customers you can be assured that I will NEVER buy another Nikon product.
The Announcement is correct, things do not work on Win8..
I think someone left out the bit about the Work Around..
Yes it will not run on Win8, but it will run on Win8 in Windows 7 Compatibility Mode..
In my case I have ViewNX2, but the procedure below should work for other software
Download the Software onto your hard disk..
Right Click on the exe or Set Up File
Click on Properties

Capture NX2 window will not close when I am finished using it. Window must be forced to close with Task Manager.
Capture NX2 worked well in Vista Home edition; problem occurs in Win 8 Pro, Win 8.1 Pro and in Win 7 compatibility mode.
Help! This is really aggravating.
I´ve got a NIKON Coolpix L10 and I need to transfer my pictures to a HP 1000-1220 LA notebook running Windows 8.
Please tell me how should I do that. I have a USB cable that came with the camera. Do I need to download any program and in such case, which one ?
Thanks for your help . I´m not very familiar with the camera yet.
Capture NX2 is now working in Win 8.1. I discovered that my Nikon Message Center was incorrectly telling me there were no Nikon updates to NX2. I found the updates on line at NikonUSA.com.
Install "View NX2" on your HP. You should have a disk with the new camera. If not you can get it here https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/18678
I have a problem with Nikon Capture 4.4 installing as I have just bought new computer with window 8. Can some one help

I tried to use Vuescan, nice but its limit is the definition, 2400dpi, when my Nikon Scanner V ed allows up to 4000 dpi. I could not do higher than 2400.

I have a Nikon L120. Nikon told me that they do not provide a driver for the older models. So I looked at the P600. That is all I did. Looked. After reading the above coments, I believe the Nikon Corp. will soon go the way of the Polaroid, Kodak and the Dodo bird.In the 1950s we foolishly bought new cars simply because the new ones had fins and last year's didn't and not because they were better. Nikon beware. The consumer has smartened up.

Posted on 04/18/2012 12:38:05 PM PDT by Wolfie
NJ bully's paralyzing punch nets $4.2M settlement
RAMSEY, N.J. A New Jersey school district has agreed to pay $4.2 million to settle a lawsuit by a middle school student who was paralyzed when a known bully punched him in the abdomen.
The settlement between the Ramsey school district and the family of Sawyer Rosenstein, who had complained to the district about being bullied, was worked out over the past two months but not made public until last week.
The family's lawsuit alleged school officials knew or should have known the boy's attacker had violent tendencies and failed to comply with a state anti-bullying law, said the Rosensteins' attorney, Jeffrey Youngman. The boy had punched another student in the face on a school bus a year earlier, but the school kept no record of it or other attacks and the attacker was not subjected to escalating discipline, the suit said.
Just three months before being punched, Rosenstein, then 12, emailed school officials to report he was being bullied and to ask for help.
"I would like to let you know that the bullying has increased," he wrote to his guidance counselor at the Eric Smith Middle School. "I would like to figure out some coping mechanisms to deal with these situations, and I would just like to put this on file so if something happens again, we can show that there was past bullying situations."
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
And the school will find some excuse to suspend the injured kid.
Why should taxpayers have to pay? This is ridiculous. Why is the school responsible for a bully? Sue the parents. Why doesn't the judge stitulate taxpayers are not responsible? Think I'll ever get a good answer?
The teacher retirement fund would be a good place to get the nobey, but .. noo o o o o o !
Thribbit! Working late - graveyard shift.
I smell something fishy...
Who writes letters like that in advance of a major lawsuit? "I would like to figure out some coping mechanisms"??? How about "I would like you to arrest this bastard and throw him out of school or I am going to call the police"????
Was this filed 'after the fact"
Do we now need $$$millions more 'funding' for anti-bullying programs and a gestapo agent of the government stationed in every classroom? (for your safety, you understand...)
I am getting the sense that this whole "bullying" craze is being invented to lead up to something... and that something being more government restrictions on our freedom.
I mean there is even a movie already made about 'bullying' and they show kids attacking a kid on the bus. Who would attack a kid once they know a camera is running? It even looks fake and over-acted...
And at the end of them movie the bully and the kid hug...
This all feels too weird
Is there a paper trail of meetings that occurred after they got this letter?
I dunno, sounds like the kid picked up on the catch words they use when teaching children what to do about bullies. I suppose a sock full of C batteries would have yielded a better result than waiting for the school to provide the oft-promised "coping mechanisms", but maybe the kid prefers being paralyzed.
I guess we can assume that the kid who crippled him is now working as a paid professional bully, aka bouncer, at a strip club nearby.
Meanwhile the taxpayers foot the bill,The bully walks, and the principal of this school is promoted to Suprintendent of schools.
because the school and taxpayers have much deeper pockets.
they'd probably be lucky if they ended up with 1/100th of that (after lawyers) by going after the parents.
The school is responsible for the safety of the kids while they're at school. It's a no-brainer.
Why doesnt the judge stitulate taxpayers are not responsible?
Because they are.
Think Ill ever get a good answer?
Yes, but not one you'll like, apparently.
They settled with the bully's parents for an undisclosed amount.
You remove plausible deniability from the administrators.
They HATE that,
Plausible deniabiity is something of immense important to many in our society, and they go to great lengths to preserve it.
Definitely. And why the heck should a victim of bullying have to come up with "coping mechanisms" anyway? The non-violent answer is to charge the bully with assault or harassment and get a restraining order against the bully. That should get the parents attention.
My son hasn't been bullied, but I've already explained to him that nobody has the right to hurt him and that the proper response is to bloody the bully's nose and to heck with the school rules.
As I understand, this was written before the final attack.
If you write it as "I would like to figure out some coping mechanisms" then you are a typical bullied student who is too smart for his own good.
If you write it as "I would like you to arrest this bastard and throw him out of school or I am going to call the police" then you already know what to do about the bully. The school can't stop you (or your parents) from calling the police, and the school can't stop the police from arresting the attacker.
Obviously the victim belonged to the former category, too intelligent and too idealistic, still thinking that government employees at school care about him.
Stop asking reasonable questions ;-)
Because the NJ legislature has made the schools gun-free and weapons-free zones, thereby implying that the state will provide security for the lil government-school urchins.
Bet bullying episodes will decrease if the bullies know that their quarry might be packing.
(he says with tongue in cheek)
I think schools work toward crafting outcomes that keep the whole thing as quiet as possible. Which usually means the bullied should just STFU already and take it.
I think the school officials should be liable, individually as well as the actor and his family. They should be impoverished.
I don't blame the kid for going for the money though. His medical bills will run to the millions.
"Think Ill ever get a good answer?"
Who is John Galt?
Is the young man still paralyzed? Or did he recover? Seems like $4 million is insufficient compensation for a lifetime of paralysis, if that is the case.
A bar of soap works pretty good too...
Our school's Union staffers are the biggest bullies. By law, we require kids to attend taxpayer schools. If you are going to do this, the schools have the responsibility to protect them from being paraylized by the animals you have entraped them with. Zero tolerance makes everyone guilty in a violent incident and sometimes that is a lie. Mindless zero tolerance is amoral and unethical as is sexually molesting everyone at the airport, espeically the ones with heart pacemakers and wheelchairs.
The left will take this and run with it, though. Soon it will be "bullying" of the highest and most dangerous degree to disagree with them on anything; especially their intolerance of whites, Christians, adult sexual interaction with kids, and boys. All politics and social expressions can be controled by anti-bullying measures.
I could not find any reference as to what happened to the bully.
"Sawyer Rosenstein, now an 18-year-old freshman majoring in COMMUNICATION at Syracuse University..."
One would think that being hit so hard would knock some sense into him - but no, he'll just wind up being a left-wing fanatic.
Both parents and the school should be in court. The school
obviously knew of the bully and did nothing. I have
found all the anti-bulling talk from school admins. and
teachers to be just that—all talk. The adults left the
schools long ago.
I tell friends who are experiencing a child being bullied
to follow school policy and document everything and when
the bullying turns violent bring in the police and lgnore
school admin. They are as useless as a screen door
on a submarine.
In my day a hard punch to the nose of a bully got better results.
The bully's parents are both deceased; Sawyer had made a comment about the bully's mother who had committed suicide prior to the attack
There was a seperate settlement with the attacker, parents or not.

ATLANTA He has a website, a blog, a YouTube channel and hes on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
If you want to know University of Georgia student Connor Nolte, 23, of Milton, Ga., take your pick. Its all there for the world to see.
Done the right way, social media can be a boon for high school students and young adults such as Nolte seeking a coveted internship, employment in the tight job market or a slot in this falls freshman class.
But college admissions officers and employment experts say it also can have the opposite effect.
Dan Rauzi, senior director of technology programs for the Atlanta-based Boys & Girls Clubs of America, said he has seen it happen.
Rauzi recalled a cautionary tale delivered by a Holland, Mich., senior at a recent youth conference. After a run-in with a school official, the student went home and, in frustration, posted a note on his Facebook page asking, Do we now have permission to brutally murder the principal.
Although the student was accepted into college, Rauzi said, he faced felony charges that were later dropped and was given in-school suspension, fines and community service.
The student told his audience it was 11 words that changed my whole life.
As a parent, especially of two Division I athletes, theres a lot of fear about that in my household, said Kurt Nolte, Connors father.
And for good reason. In addition to playing an ever-increasing role in peoples personal and professional lives, social media use also is playing a role in job and college application decisions.
Charleston-based Roper St. Francis Healthcare is among those employers taking advantage of social media in its hiring process. Krista Robertson, interactive marketing manager, said employers can discern various details about a job candidate before a regular interview is scheduled.
Social media is playing an increasingly larger role in the hiring process, Robertson said. It has allowed employers to get a more in-depth view of the candidate. Social media can really give you a glimpse of a persons personality, their interests, community involvement and how they conduct themselves overall.
Adell Hutto, employment supervisor for Roper St. Francis, said human resources doesnt check social media sites as part of the screening process because they can distract decision makers and lead them to make choices based on misleading and irrelevant factors rather than focus on qualifications and experience. While we do not use social media to screen applicants, we do use it to source applicants. As more applicants get tech savvy, weve had success sourcing via LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, reaching candidates we might not get with traditional print campaigns.
It has become increasingly common for employers to scour social media profiles to learn more about job candidates. Almost one in five people surveyed in the U.S. are going online to find jobs, but many are nervous about potential fallout from personal content on social networking sites, according to a 2011 survey by global workforce solutions leader Kelly Services.
And according to Jieun Choe, executive director of college admissions for Kaplan Test Prep, a 2011 Kaplan survey found that 24 percent of admissions officers checked applicants Facebook or other social media pages, up from just 10 percent in 2008. Of those, 12 percent said they found something that had a negative impact on an applicant.
Choe said students should be mindful of their digital trail. Her advice to students?
Google themselves, Choe said. The Internet has a really long memory, so this isnt just about a specific phase in your life. This goes beyond college admission. It could impact your reputation, your job choices.
That impact doesnt have to be negative. Connor Nolte has used social media to brand himself the way corporations do, playing up the positive.
His website, www.connor nolte.com, pictures him on the University of Georgia basketball court, with this simple message:
My name is Connor. I play basketball at the University of Georgia. I graduated with a degree in marketing and am currently working on my masters degree in sport management. I hope to combine both degrees to work in sports marketing in the near future.
The graduate student credits the site, Twitter and his blog with helping him land two internships, one in 2010 with ESPN and another this summer with the U.S. Olympics.
Without social media, I am fairly certain I wouldnt have gotten either internship. I wouldnt have been able to differentiate myself as well.
During the 2009-10 basketball season, he began posting a series of game day trick shots on his YouTube account, embedding them in his blog.
The shots, including those by basketball great Charles Barkley and University of Georgia coaches, were featured on ESPNs SportsNation and caught the eyes of Noltes future internship bosses.
Kurt Nolte said that he and his wife, Julie, drilled into their three children the need to be socially responsible at all times. We tell them whatever they put out there, it better be something their grandmother can look at, he said.
Im not saying Im perfect, but ... Ive found that the best way to guard against posting negative photos is to not engage in an activity that might be frowned upon by a future employer, Connor said.
In 1999, when Boys & Girls Clubs of America released its first Internet safety program, Rauzi said people went online mostly to pull information off the Internet.
But today we push information onto the Internet.
Now Im posting my life online, he said. Thats why Boys & Girls Clubs takes this seriously, and I think its really important that everyone who comes into contact with kids and teens, particularly parents, are talking to them about this, not in a way that is accusatory, but in a way that educates them and reminds them that this is important stuff.
Just like Nike guards their brand, teens need to guard their personal brand, he said.

So you want to be a Hall of Famer?
We get a lot of inquires about our Large Stack Challenge & Large Stack Hall of Fame. "What is it?", folks ask. Since I've answered this in a previous blog, I'll keep it simple here. If you eat our Large Stack of Pancakes, consisting of five plated sized pancakes, you will get them FREE and have your name/photo entered into our Hall of Fame! So far we have five people in our Hall of Fame:
- 1) Fred Powell
- 2) Lou Muzyczek
- 3) Joe Facendola
- 4) Daniel Reamer
- 5) Mike Kusbit
Well, we are officially announcing another incentive to attempt our Large Stack Challenge! All "Large Stack Hall of Famers" will now each get a FREE Short Stack of Pancakes every second Tuesday of every month! * Yes, you heard me right! Come attempt the Large Stack on those days and you may be among our Hall of Famers… heck, you may even become one. I know some of you think this is crazy, but it's a very popular topic among the CCK (Chris' Cosmic Kitchen) crowd. I guess we can blame Man V. Food for that, on the ever so popular Travel Channel. Apparently, food challenges are all the rage… we get several website hits a day from the website EatFeats.com (competitive eating news, database & calendar). So what do you think? Are you up for the challenge??
On a similar note, one of our regular customers, Tyler Millage, has attempted the Large Stack Challenge several times. He got pretty darn close to finishing on his last attempt! So when he had a birthday recently and tweeted a picture of his birthday cake, I was taken aback. His amazingly talented friend, Heather Thomas, had baked him a cake that was the exact replica of our Large Stack of Pancakes! I actually didn't believe him at first because it was so real! Check it out for yourself, to the right.
Heather Thomas was entered in the Azalea Cake Challenge this year at the NC Azalea Festival and placed 4th! If you'd like to order a cake from her, or talk about possible ideas, email her at: email@example.com
Finally, don't forget to follow us on Twitter @CosmicKitchen! We love to tweet with our community!
* Fine Print: Must be dine-in only, must be a verified Hall of Famer & may be discontinued at any time. No rainchecks.

14 October 2010
As a member of the Baseball Bloggers Alliance for about a year now, I have the honor to participate in their postseason awards. There are four Twins' bloggers in the Minnesota chapter of the Alliance, and here you can find Seth Stohs' Manager of the Year ballot.
By clicking the "Read More" button below, you can find my choices for the Willie Mays Award, recognizing the top rookie in the American League in 2010.
3. Austin Jackson, OF, Detroit Tigers
Jackson losses points for relying heavily upon luck to artificially inflate his high batting average. He wins the durability award, with 675 plate appearances from the top of Detroit's batting order all season long. As a rookie thrust into the lead-off role, Jackson performed admirably. His actual numbers are very good, but he out-played his potential this season and is sure to regress.
This award isn't simply given to the player with the best stats; context and future ability are also factored in. Jackson may be a valuable league-average player, but he almost certainly won't be able to repeat his 2010 campaign, where he was nearly four wins above replacement. Those strikeouts will catch up to him sooner or later.
2. Danny Valencia, 3B, Minnesota Twins
Valencia's biggest knock is his lack of playing time. Participating in just 83 games this season, Valencia racked up just 322 plate appearances. During the partial season, though, Valencia raked opposing pitchers to the tune of a .311/.351/.448 triple-slash line. Valencia also hit seven home runs and a total of 26 extra-base hits.
Though he didn't have enough innings to qualify, Valencia was also one of the better defensive third baseman in the league. His 10.5 UZR/150 puts him between Jose Lopez and Evan Longoria on the American League leaderboard.
Valencia did a lot to quiet doubters this season, but at 26 years of age, is rapidly approaching his peak. If his defense can remain at a high level, Valencia could be a very solid major-league regular and provide the Twins with the long-term answer at the hot corner.
1. Brian Matusz, SP, Baltimore Orioles
That the Orioles didn't impress at all in 2010 shouldn't be considered a fault for Matusz. Rather, it's impressive that the 23-year old performed as well as he did in front of Baltimore's horrid defense and against the toughest opponents in the American League.
With a 10-12 record and a 4.30 ERA, few will be inclined to select Matusz as Rookie of the Year. After neutralizing poor defense and tough competition, Matusz's results aren't all that bad. His 2.7 WAR is the 25th in the league according to FanGraphs, and 24th as ranked by Baseball Reference.
Matusz has clear "ace" potential, and has the highest ceiling of anyone on this list. As a rookie stuck in Baltimore's undesirable situation, few could have done better than Matusz in 2010.

BATAVIA – Although the reality of a major high-tech manufacturing campus is decades away, small steps attest to the vision that could bring thousands of skilled workers to a rural community near Batavia.
The Western New York Science Technology Advanced Manufacturing Plan will cover 1,200 acres in the Town of Alabama. The plan's author, the Genesee County Economic Development Center, has begun acquiring property and funds toward a shovel-ready site to attract high-tech firms.
Empire State Development has awarded a $500,00 grant and $1.1 million in loans for an additional 364 acres.
The Genesee Gateway Local Development Corp., the development center's real estate arm, has secured title to 143 acres, with an option to acquire 1,000 more, at the site, which adjoins federal and state wildlife refuges.
Designs call for a park for making such high-tech products as solar panels and computer chips.
In 20 to 25 years, the plan calls for 9,300 jobs in a farming community with 2,000 residents. The site is located on Lewiston Road, near Thruway Exit 48A.
The Alabama Town Board has approved the project, with a promised $10.2 million from the development center to be used for a water system and other capital projects.
Meanwhile, the Town Board wants a one-year moratorium on commercial development, a preventive measure to protect farmland and update zoning rules.
Board members say a moratorium would help to control the development that the Science Technology Advanced Manufacturing Plan and its $200 million in facilities could attract.

Since the general introduction of roentgen-ray examination of the stomach and intestine after the introduction of barium solution, a great deal of study has been devoted to the subject of diaphragmatic hernia. Many of the cases that before the introduction of the roentgen ray and barium studies could not be diagnosed can now be clearly seen, and definite and accurate diagnoses can be made. This newer method of examination has shown that diaphragmatic hernias are much more common than was formerly believed to be the case. In the days before roentgen-ray examination I was seldom able in my own work to make a definite diagnosis of diaphragmatic hernia. I have recently been able to study with my medical colleagues four of these patients on whom we have subsequently operated. It is my intention to report this clinical experience.

• During a routine follow-up visit, 428 victims of sexual abuse and their caretakers were asked about genitourinary complaints. Symptoms elicited included vaginal pain, increased urinary frequency, dysuria, and enuresis. A urinalysis was performed for all victims with symptoms, and those with positive or equivocal urinalysis results had a urine culture done. Urinalysis and urine culture were performed on a control group of 53 consecutive asymptomatic victims. Twenty percent (85/428) of the victims complained of one or more genitourinary symptoms. The most common symptom was vaginal pain (51%). Of the symptomatic victims, only 2 had a urinary tract infection. None of the 53 asymptomatic control victims had a urinary tract infection. There was no significant relationship between the presence of genitourinary symptoms and repetitive abuse, genital trauma, vaginal contact, or gender of the victim. However, patients younger than 6 years of age were more likely to have genitourinary symptoms than older patients. These findings indicate that urinary tract symptoms following sexual abuse are common but that urinary tract infection is quite uncommon. Our study does not support routine screening of children for urinary tract infection solely because they have been sexually abused.

About This Book
2013 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book
One day at the basketball court, two kids, a familiar challenge-H.O.R.S.E.?
But this isn't your grandmother's game of hoops. Not when a layup from the other side of the court standing on one foot with your eyes closed is just the warm-up.
Around the neighborhood, around the world, off Saturn's rings, the pair goes back and forth.
The game is as much about skill as it is about imagination.
A slam dunk from multi-award-winning author/illustrator Christopher Myers, H.O.R.S.E. is a celebration of the sport of basketball, the art of trash-talking, and the idea that what's possible is bounded only by what you can dream.

Camila Alves doesn't think of Matthew McConaughey as the Sexiest Man Alive – to her and their 2-month-old son Levi, he's just Dad.
"I don't look at him like that," she tells BabyCenter, an online community for moms and dads. "He's a man – he's my man – and we're a family. He's the best dad he can be, 100-percent hands-on."
The Brazilian model and handbag designer, 25, also opened up about her grueling 60-hour labor.
"It wasn't such a pleasant experience," she says. "We went through 14 hours with contractions every two minutes, no epidural, no nothing. Every two minutes I would pass out. I went to the hospital on Saturday, and Levi was born on Monday."
Despite her desire to give birth naturally, Alves underwent a C-section. "We tried every single way of giving birth. It didn't work. I wasn't too crazy about having to do a C-section and take all the drugs. Finally, I just had to be like, 'Let it go.' " And finally, Levi was born at 6:22 p.m. July 7, at 7 lbs., 4 oz.
Since then, little Levi has kept a full social calendar, tagging along with his parents to a John Mellencamp concert, to events like the launch of his mom's luxury handbag line and to watch his dad, 38, run a 10K in Austin.
All the excitement is no problem for Levi, Alves says. "If our lifestyle was doing anything to harm him, we'd have to adapt, but he loves it. He loves the action. He loves to be right in the middle of it. He actually doesn't like it when it's too quiet."
Alves, who's currently designing a new collection for Muxo (which will include diaper bags), says she and McConaughey plan to raise Levi bilingually. "Most of my family doesn't speak English. It's so important for the baby. He's going to know all his American roots, but he also needs to know about his Brazilian side."

Album Review
Coming off their 1982 masterpiece Under the Big Black Sun, X offered their follow-up More Fun in the New World one year later. While its predecessor won the band a slew of new fans, it didn't serve as the major breakthrough that it so deservedly should have. Rightfully, they didn't fool with their already winning formula; they issued another solid set of songs produced, again, by Ray Manzarek. The anthemic album opener "The New World" is still powerful years later, as is the absolutely beautiful ballad "I Must Not Think Bad Thoughts," which perfectly captures the paranoid feeling of Reagan's America in the '80s. X achieved new rough and rocking heights with the vicious "Devil Doll," "Painting the Town Blue," and "Make the Music Go Bang," while returning once again to their retro '50s roots with "Poor Girl." More Fun in the New World would prove to be Manzarek's final production credit with X, who would hook up with renowned heavy metal veteran Michael Wagener for their next release two years later, Ain't Love Grand!

If the Phillies are truly trying to resolve the puzzle of their ability to contend - and aren't merely trying to convince themselves, their fans, or any potential trade partners of that - then the big piece of the equation is as obvious as always.
Even before he became the Big Piece, a weapon on the lineup card larger than anything Lt. Harry Callahan ever unholstered from beneath his coat, Ryan Howard was the biggest piece of what the Phils built starting nearly a decade ago.
When healthier and more reliable (and perhaps younger) than he is at the moment, Howard was a rock cast into the middle of the offense that sent cascading ripples up and down the entire batting order. If Howard is good, everyone around him is better.

USB HDD - ntfs-config ???
Hello everybody, I was just solvining mounting of ntfs partitions in 64studio. Everything is done thaks to probably best today ntfs driver "ntfs-3g". But problem persists with external USB drive. I would like it mounts automatically ... it works, but read-only. I need read/write automatical mounting. I've found "ntfs-config" utility which should works on Ubuntu distributions. Has anybody experience with this??? Is it possible to use it on 64studio too??? Thanks for any help/advice Mirami Asus M6Va,CPU 2GHz, RAM 2GB, 64studio 2.1 pre11
Hello johne53
I was trying solve exactly opposite problem to access data from linux on ntfs usb hard drive. To be precise to mount usb ntfs hard drive automatically read/write. Anyway thanks a lot for your link. I didn't know about this possibility and it will be very helpful too. mirami Asus M6Va,CPU 2GHz, RAM 2GB, 64studio 32bit 2.1 pre12
I don't know if this will
I don't know if this will help but there's a utility called 'ext2 IFS driver' available here:- http://www.fs-driver.org/ It allows Windows users to read (and write) ext2 volumes under Windows. I've been using it for over a year and it's much more reliable than trying to mount Windows volumes under Linux. I'm pretty sure I once tried it with a USB drive and it did work.
Hello developers, I just find on web this information. http://www.ntfs-3g.org/support.html#plugandplay People which develop ntfs-3g driver argue that automount read/write ntfs external HDD is feature which should be matter of distro developers. If it is really like this, I would like put in a word for it. Because I think that many people like me, which consider to switch from Windows to Linux need handle their data. And they have data mainly on ntfs external hard drives. mirami Asus M6Va,CPU 2GHz, RAM 2GB, 64studio 32bit 2.1 pre11

Clip less and save more with these tips
Dear Jill: I want to save with coupons. I read your column and know that those who coupon are saving a great deal of money. But I can't shake the idea of how much time it would take me to cut and carry all those coupons around. The idea of it just makes me cringe. I don't have any time to do that, but I also am not a coupon app person, as I don't use my phone for that. If I'm going to do this it will be with paper coupons. Help convince me this is something I can do. -- Dina
Dear Dina: It's kind of funny to me how many people equate coupon clipping with carrying around every coupon that they own. Nothing could be further from the truth. While I love coupons and fully embrace their savings potential, I try to spend as little time as possible preparing for a shopping trip -- and I definitely do not take every coupon I own to the store with me.
I've embraced the "clipless" method. I believe it's the fastest, easiest way to spend as little time as possible preparing for a shopping trip. I love this terminology, because it's a bit of a play on words -- you really do clip less. So, how do you go "clipless"?
With this system, you'll keep your newspaper coupon inserts intact every week -- no wasting time cutting or carrying coupons you won't use. When I'm ready to plan a shopping trip, I cut only the coupons I need from my inserts, and then add them to my coupon wallet to take to the store.
This method is a breeze to use when paired with an online component -- a grocery matchup site, coupon blog or coupon database. All of these tools will provide you with the reference to a coupon and where to find it. For example, if you were looking for a sale on a particular brand of grape juice, the coupon site might reference a $1-off-2 coupon in the "7/14 RP."
This reference tells you the date the coupon was in your inserts and the name of the insert it can be found in -- Red Plum. As you begin to save your inserts each week, you'll quickly build a library of Red Plum, SmartSource and Procter & Gamble inserts from which to choose coupons.
I have two easy options for organizing whole coupon inserts. If you get one or two newspapers each week, an accordion file is an inexpensive and convenient way to organize. Use one pocket of the accordion for each month's inserts. When your coupon inserts arrive, write the date on the front of the insert (example: "10/7/13") Then, keep each month's inserts together in the same pocket. If you receive many papers each week, using a plastic file crate is a great option too. Use a hanging file folder to contain each month's inserts, and then hang the file in the crate.
When I'm ready to plan a shopping trip, I will look at my site of choice to start planning my list. If you're new to couponing, you'll probably like grocery list matchup sites like SavingsAngel.com or GroceryGame.com.

Twenty four hours on, the dust is just about settling from the explosive encounter between Arsenal and FC Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League tie at the Emirates last night.
The old adage about a "game of two halves" was clearly in play last night, with Barca providing an education in possession play throughout the first half and entering the break a goal to the good thanks to David Villa's clinical finish in the 26th minute.
The second half, particularly the last twenty minutes, was a different game entirely, with Arsenal gradually gaining a grip on the game and producing some devastating counter attacking play to score twice in the closing stages. First, Robin Van Persie smashed in at the near post in the 78th minute, then Andrey Arshavin side footed home five minutes later.
Much has been said since the final whistle, particularly in praise of Arsenal, and deservedly so given the quality and fight they produce to the get the better of Europe's best side. Rather than pore over and debate the game incident by incident, this piece aims to look at some of the major lessons we can take from last night's game, several of which may play a part in deciding the second leg in three week's time.

What's happening with steel?
BURNS HARBOR, Ind. - The largest steel producing area in the United States is located around the northwest corner of Indiana. Steel has dominated this area for over 100 years. Area newspapers tell a story about steel almost daily. The stories have the tone of relatives whispering at the deathbed of a loved one. They speak of the great past and anticipate the empty future.

Some bike shop owners across the region are on edge following a rash of motorcycle and ATV thefts.
The most recent one happened at Evolution Powersports, located in the 1400 block of Ben Franklin Highway in Douglass Twp., Berks Co., police said.
"It's very disheartening that people can just break into your employment and take what's not theirs," said John Detweiler, the owner.
Detweiler said the criminals used a box truck to run over a fence and crash through a door. He said the thieves took off with three dirt bikes.
Detweiler's business was targeted just over a month ago, but that time, he said, the crooks rammed their getaway vehicle right through the front door. That time, he said two ATVs and a dirt bike were stolen, causing damages into the tens of thousands of dollars.
"It has me alarmed. It's tough to sleep at night anymore because you're wondering if they're going to break in again," Detweiler said.
Officials said Detweiler's story is not unique.
Authorities confirmed that several similar businesses have been burglarized in Berks, Lebanon and Schuylkill counties.
Detweiler said the crooks caused damages in excess of $30,000. Now, he just hopes the criminals face justice.
"It's about time that these guys get caught," Detweiler said.
Police are reviewing surveillance footage. Meanwhile, Detweiler said he has increased security measures and is considering changing location.
If you have any information on this crime, you can call Crime Alert Berks County anonymously at 877-373-9913. Information leading to an arrest could earn you a cash reward of up to $5,000.
