Well, it was a heck of a weekend, but Convergence has come and gone.
It was my very first year at this geektastic event, and it certainly didn't disappoint. There were rooms where a dalek served you tea, a zombie den, a masquerade, steampunk galore and lots… I mean LOTS… of nerds.
Yup, that's me, dressed to the nines like the nerd I am in our fabulously stitchy Steampunk Coat. My hope was to show just how awesomely geek machine embroidery can be, or at the very least, introduce the geek world to the fact that it exists.
Truth be told, this is really the easiest way to explain what machine embroidery is. At parties when someone asks me what I do, I always struggle to find a clear answer. Saying I'm the Evil Genius of an online alternative machine embroidery company doesn't usually get me many coherent responses, just usually a lot of blinks and then slow, backward steps. I might as well say I'm the inventor of LOLcats for all the good it does me.
(Though that would be the world's coolest business card)
So, unless I have some cool stitchy stuff nearby to point to, I'm usually lost. I sometimes do have other stitchy stuff around to reference, but pointing to an embroidered tractor on a trucker hat doesn't really get me any father into explaining what I do.
See That? That hat? That's what I do, except absolutely nothing like that at all. Oh blast.
See? It doesn't help. So, armed with my steampunk-y stitched coat, and a bunch of business cards tucked amongst the goggles on my top hat, I waded into the crowd to try my best. And what a crowd…
The costumes were fantastic. Nerds are so darn crafty, I just love them. You can't tell in the photo really, but that Iron Man is homemade. Homemade! The crafty skills were endless.
And why pray tell are all my photos in black and white? Well, it could be that we went back in time to the steampunky age and they don't have color back then.
They have rayguns, but they don't have color photos. Right.
Or it could be that all I had on me was my iphone camera and they're really better off this way. Could be that.
As it turns out, actually, nerds are even craftier than you think. SO crafty, that they've already heard of Urban Threads! I met these two fantastic ladies while wandering around looking at steampunk goods for sale. They recognized me! I feel so famous. Or it was the coat… either one.
Don't they look fabulous? We chatted a little and I gave them a card. And then I got a peek of their fabulous stitchery too!
Check it! Urban Threads was representin' without me even being there. I actually spotted a couple of Urban Threads designs here and there. This was definitely our kinda crowd.
Plenty of people indeed inquired about the coat and the embroidery. A lot of people assumed I must have bought it. Most had never really heard of machine embroidery, so it was fun to introduce them to it in such a steampunky way. I gave away all the business cards in my hat by the end of the night!
A few people said they had even seen to coat online already, either through Craftster or various blog sharing. It really was great fun to walk around in it and show the world a little of what we do, despite the fact that it was like a billion degrees in the coat. Sometimes, you have to suffer for your art.
Other than enlightening the world a little about the world of embroidery, I had a grand time at places like the house of toast (toast with any three toppings you want… from bacon to sprinkles) getting drinks in a steampunk airship, watching an evil presidential debate between Dr. Doom, the Master, and Mr. Burns, visiting the Willy Wonka Candy Land, running into Voldemort (almost literally), waltzing at the Steampunk Ball, and dancing with a Stormtrooper (who commented here yesterday… hi Mr. Stormtrooper!) Mr. T, and a Jedi.
I'm wondering if stitching up a costume could be a tradition for me every year, it was so much fun! Plus it's a great exercise to pull out all the stops and see what I can do with our designs.
If so, do say hi to me next year. I'll be the embroidery covered lass eating bacon-sprinkles-hummus toast in the corner, next to Batman.

Reviews of this property
Everything was excellent! I and my friends 100 % recommend Sylvies apartament to our friends! There was clean, cosy and very silent. Thank you Sylvie!
Nice location for tourists.
Located at some really nice strolls around Abesses and Montmartre and also really easy access to the metro straight through Paris by the shadier area around stations Pigalle, Anvers and Barbes-Rouchechouart.
Take line 2 from Anvers, change to line 4 at Barbes-Rouchechouart. It takes you straight down to Les Halles, Pompidou, Notre Dame, Catacombs in a jiffy. (Or up to Porte Clignancourt for an enormous flea market in Saint-Ouen)
Just down and outside the apartment gate, the 30-bus goes straight to Trocadero just in front of the Eiffeltower.
(Get yourself a carte Navigo if at CDG airport - saves lots of money on airport transfers and almost every public transport)
Sylvie's apartment is a small though decent sized, copious apartment with everything you need to recuperate and rearrange between sights - like a little home in Paris.
Sleeping arrangements makes privacy possible if needed - separated bedroom with queen sized bed - and queen sized sleeping sofa in living room was wonderful for mother and teenage son.
Excellent Wi-Fi for streaming two separate movies simultaneously. Plenty of hot water if taking turns on showering mornings and nights. Located in a quiet backyard gives peace to sleep at night, and all the neighbors we met inside the quarter were really friendly and polite.
Sylvie's instructions of how to get to -and in to the apartment - were detailed and well organized, and inside there were little notes everywhere about how appliances works and stuff you would normally ask for. Easy as pie.
We stayed for 6 days, and would love to rent again for a longer stay in Paris.
Just a little heads up - the green doors outside slams bad - be nice to the neighbors and keep the noise down - they are very nice in return!
The apartment was perfect for our three night stay in Paris. Nice location. Nice apartment. Communication before and during the stay was totally satisfying.
Little drawback: The gate next to the apartment is a little bit loud when residents smash it on leaving the yard in the morning.
All in all I would totally recommend to stay at this apartment.
Many thanky to Sylvie.
Sylvie is a very nice and helpfull person. We stayed in her apartment 3 times and wil probably return.
We have just been staying in Silvies apartment for the third time, as we love its location and quietnes. Small but clean and functional.Nice owner.
Dear Sylvie,
your apartment is located so close to all activities around Montmartre, that we felt like citizens of Paris. Your support in finding the place and some other valuable advices made it very easy for us to feel home. The neighbourhood is typical for the area, pepole of all ages and cultures. Your place has a friendly and cosy atmosphere, we would book it again anytime we are back in Paris!
For 2 people the apartment is perfect, for 4 the sleeping place is a bit limited.
Thank you for confidence and letting us use all your equipment.
See you ...
We had a great time in Sylvie's apartment! Everything you need on your doorstep and a really great location for exploring Paris. The apartment was plenty big enough for the two of us, very clean with a lovely little kitchen and a comfortable bed and sofa- felt like home! I would definitely recommend staying here.
Thank you Sylvie!
We enjoyed staying in Silvie's apartment. Although the apartment looked bigger on the photos, it was spacious enough for the two of us. The bedroom is on the backside of the apartment, so a quiet night sleep is guaranteed. What we didn't know is that the nearest entry from the street is the main street, which is quite busy. You could also see it from the apartment. In fact that is not a problem, but personally I like a quiet street.
The apartment itself is cosy and everything you need is there, with a good bed and shower. Only the couch was a bit difficult to get up from, when you're seated. For the rest we had a very good time! Everything is near the apartment. Also Silvie responded our questions very quickly, which we appreciated very much!
Perfect neighbourhood close to Sacre Ceur and Moulin Rouge. The apartment is cosy and very Parisien.
We went there in the summer and the only problem was a very warm apartment (especially the bedroom) which made sleeping a bit difficult. Wifi was also a bit shaky and only one person at a time could use it.

Food can enhance your mood
Hi bro
Many of us are fond of tasty foods. Food is the best way to fill your tummy whenever you are hungry as well as make your mood whenever you are in depression. A well decorated food can make it more attractive before you can taste it. So change your mind and make your mood with well decorated tasty food.

Re: Food can enhance your mood
I concur. But if I am depressed, I can't be bothered to fancy up my food.
If I have enough energy to fancy it up, chances are I don't need cheering up so much.
This is why I need a personal chef. Jamie? Need any work? We can't pay much but it's a good kitchen to work in. We have a popcorn machine and a potato ricer. And a porridge crock shaped like a Dalek.

Re: Food can enhance your mood
Hi Finefoods,
Agree with you and like to say to reduce depression workout regularly and eat well balanced diet plan. If you don't eat well take multivitamins regularly and limit salt and eat whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low fat dairy products more in your diet plans. Regular exercise also helps in lowering stress and depression so exercise regularly. Avoid alcohol, smoking and other stimulants and have enough sleep every day.

Re: Food can enhance your mood
Depression makes me eat more. Only acute stress makes me lose my appetite (like a family disaster or something), and that never lasts long.

Re: Food can enhance your mood
Finefoods. For me it's the smell of what's cooking that can do it for me. Onions and bacon, or a beef roast cooking is the best way of bringing me out of a not-so-good mood.

Re: Food can enhance your mood
I love that smell you get when you throw onions in hot oil. Even if the recipe calls for gently sweating the onions, I'll heat the oil up hotter than it needs to be to start with, just so I get that smell, and the fabulous "pshh" noise.
Hey, we all do what we have to do to get us through the day.

The Best of the Swiss in Lancaster County
Swiss Woods Bed & Breakfast Inn • Lititz, PA
Escape Kit
- A Three-Night Stay for Two in The Willhelm Tell, Lugano, or Emmental Room
- Daily Full Breakfast and Afternoon Coffee/Tea and Pastries
- Two Specialty Coffee Drinks at S. Clyde Weaver
- Two 61% Organic No-Sugar Truffles at Café Chocolate
- Homemade Biscotti and Toffee and Lititz Gift Basket with Pretzels and Chocolates
The Swiss are renowned for avoiding conflict, and the town of Lititz, smack dab in the middle of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, is no different—expect peacefulness (and lots of good chocolate) here.
In particular, at the European-style Swiss Woods Bed & Breakfast Inn, where all rooms have a patio or balcony that overlooks the quiet 30-acre property. Plush robes, 300-thread-count sheets topped with down comforters, and homemade biscotti and toffee are just a few of the amenities. And speaking of food, the breakfast spread each morning is worth yodeling about—only the freshest ingredients are used and many of them are grown on-site. Speciality dishes include quiche with fresh herbs and vegetables, blueberry French toast with hints of orange, and baked oatmeal with fresh berries. What diet? The snacks (favorites include cranberry cookies with a brown butter glaze and orange Bundt cake) served each afternoon are way too tempting.
When it comes to the itinerary, take the middle road and do a bit of everything: See old-fashioned soft pretzels made at the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, try the organic no-sugar truffles at Café Chocolate, and simply stroll around downtown Lititz, dubbed "Lancaster County's Sweet Spot." Recharge with a couple of drinks from S. Clyde Weaver before touring Amish country, stopping at popular attractions like the Landis Valley Museum and Lancaster Central Market (the country's oldest continuously operating farmers' market), where you can pick up cheeses and local produce to store in the inn's guest kitchen.
"Nestled on the edge of the woods overlooking Speedwell Forge Lake, the chalet is surrounded by extensive flower gardens. The full country breakfast is a highlight and features a changing rotation of dishes like vegetable quiche and granola pancakes."-- Read Fodor's Review of Swiss Woods Bed & Breakfast Inn

In one way, the Cloake board is one of my favorite pieces of beekeeping equipment...the inventors name was "Cloake", and the device actually "cloaks".
....but I've never owned one or used one. I do, I think, understand how they are used and why....on more than one occasion, I've done the same thing but by separating the bodies and putting a board between.
I have no criticism for using a cloak board....I write this because I was thinking about making some. But when I really think about it, does it really eliminate more than 3 minutes work, and a little bit of disturbing the bees over just using a board?
Regardless, I might build some for my own use, but I'm thinking this would be really low on the list of things that someone needs to acquire before they start rearing queens. Am I missing something?

Andre Brown emerged as a quality running back in 2012. What can the Giants expect from him in 2013.Let's continue our look at the 90-man roster the New York Giants will bring to training camp in late July. Here we turn our attention to a player who emerged as a contributor in 2012, and should have a key role in 2013 -- running back Andre Brown.
2012 Season In Review
After bouncing around the league since the Giants drafted him in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft Brown, 6-foot, 240 pounds, finally established himself as a legitimate NFL back. He carried 73 times for 385 yards (5.3 yards per carry) and scored eight touchdowns. Brown still referred to the season as "disappointing," because he broke his leg and finished it on injured reserve. Still, it was a breakout year for the powerful inside runner who had only two NFL carries entering the season.

Of the album she says, "I wanted to sing songs I have a real connection to. Songs that have moved me - made me think about loss, regret, abandonment, and ultimately finding joy. Essentially, tell the story of what love really is - with all its pain and promise. These are songs I could not have truly understood in my twenties. I also wanted my album to be musically interesting. I didn't want ordinary arrangements of songs we've all heard a million times. I wanted to look at the music fresh."

Modernism may not be the field one most naturally associates with The Hyde Collection, yet founder Mrs. Hyde clearly exhibited an interest in twentieth-century art and an understanding that collecting modernism was implicit in the Museum's development. She was influenced by the taste and example of Joseph Jeffers Dodge, her second curator who served from 1941 to 1962 in her selection of outstanding works by Picasso and Matisse.
Many of the works on view were gifts to the Museum and Dodge himself donated a small group of modernist works to the Museum in 1996, including his Hudson River Town, 1959. The exhibition will feature works created by Werner Drewes, Lyonel Feininger, Stanley Hayter, Wassily Kandinsky, Amedeo Modigliani, and Ben Nicholson gifted to the collection by Jane Murray between 1991 and 1997. Several works donated from the collection of Stephen and Nancy Sills between 2002 and 2007 by Pierre Alechinsky, Karel Appel, Max Beckmann, Max Ernst, Adolph Gottlieb, Chaim Gross, Philip Guston, and Abraham Walkowitz will also be on view.
This exhibition presents a glimpse of the Museum's modernist holdings, and provides an overview of artistic developments in America and Europe in the twentieth century. We are especially delighted to feature this aspect of The Hyde's collection as part of our continuing commitment to the art of the last century. Director's Choice: Focus on Modernism is organized by The Hyde Collection and curated by director David F. Setford.

Just noticed the Hambone is now present!
Just noticed the Hambone is now present!
Mark Berninghausen
Sounds like a place I'd like to visit!
I am a hobbyist also. I use only jellies, pints, and quarts as they are easy to pick up at local stores so, no shipping. Lids come with them so thats nice too. I use labels with preprinted artwork and add my own info (make sure you are including all that is required legally), it's been great. The upside is that people can reuse the jars or recycle at home. Use only NEW jars for selling your honey. The down side is, its glass, which opens up liability for shards should someone decide you give you a problem. Decide whether you are going to pasteurize it or sell it as RAW and label it as such. Correct weight is important! A pint of honey is not 16oz, its 24! That loss of 1/2 pound can add up very fast! Generally I do cost of 5.oo per pound of honey plus the cost of the container. Explaining to people that no years bounty is ever guaranteed and when this years crop is gone, its gone, we hope to have more next year. Proper labeling is of the utmost importance. Pop for the other labels that speak of granulation and infants too, it's worth it. Don't give, dive in and do it, it becomes easy peasy.
Good info, beesweetie. The thing I don't like about the canning jars is the 2 part lids. Well, and not crazy about some of the ones with lots of raised letterings on the jar and tops decorated with fruit! It is nice that people can reuse them, though. Good info on weights...I think honey weights throw some off when they're new.
Good points, tl. True true, on the jars embossed surfaces, especially the jellies! I used the reverse side on the others but I hadn't found jellies with smooth sides that I didn't need to ship. This year I did just use the lids and rings that came with but, I had been thinking afterwards that I may just order the one piece lids from the supply house.
The lids and rings that come with the jars could just be set aside and used when I do my own garden canning for the family.
That's true. I try to get them all together and tend to forget you can order just the lids. We can and make jelly as well, and you're right, the 2 piece lids can be used then.

Darlin don't you go and cut your hair
It's a small thing, but it matters - a physical act, something tangible to remind me that I'm on track to do that which I came down here to do, which is ride the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. I've been somewhat pulled back from that goal for most of my trip south. That's probably been obvious ... the lack of direction in my "training," the radio silence about a looming big ride at the end of all of this frivolous vacationing. I've continued to prepare for the possibility, but in the back of my mind I've been searching for ways to back out of the whole thing without inciting the rage of my coworkers, who have suffered through my long furlough and at this point expect tangible results.
I've just had a hard time getting my head in the game. It would be easy to blame my recent breakup for my plunging stock in bike passion, but to be perfectly honest there were hints before April 20. The Iditarod, disaster that it was, never had time to approach that mental "race space" wherein I experience the pure joy of unhindered moment-to-moment living. The only race I participated before that was the 24 Hours of Light - as the only solo woman and, after about eight hours, with a nearly uncontested second-place standing and no prayer reaching first place. Continuing to ride through the night was fun but ultimately a practice in insanity - doing the same hard thing over and over and hoping for different results. My Kokopelli trip was scenic and fun, but still somewhat disappointing because I couldn't have completed it without the considerable support I ended up receiving from Geoff. In fact, the only endurance biking I've done since the 2008 Iditarod that had any sense of accomplishment wasn't a race at all. It wasn't even a difficult goal. It was a vacation ... bike touring the Golden Circle in late September. And the reason it was so rewarding? Because it was hard, and I suffered, and I continued to push through it, and it only got better as I went. And I did it completely on my own.
Therein lies my doubt ... and also the reason why I still need to head out there and give it a shot. I know to even attempt something as hard as this, a person has to have their head completely locked in the task, and, like I said, I'm just not sure it's there. But there's also the fact that I'm drifting right now more than I have in a long time, and a chance to immerse myself in a single-minded task, a chance to do something completely on my own, may be exactly what I need.
Then there's the simple fact that all I'm really doing is going out and riding my bike - something that, through it all, I still really enjoy. The GDMBR in 25 days or less may be impossible but it's certainly worth a shot. And if I don't finish, who cares? I've come close enough to not even starting that any mileage on that route is probably going to feel like an accomplishment.
I bought a plane ticket to Denver that leaves on Saturday. From there, I'm heading with friends up to Banff. I'm starting to get more excited and nervous about the endeavour - both good things. I'm not ready. But who really is? It's just a bike tour, I keep telling myself. Just another bike tour. I've done it before - two months' worth, back when I was in much worse shape and barely knew how to ride a bike. So what if the daily grind on the GDMBR is at least three times as hard? I'm just going to follow the Mountain Turtle, Kent Peterson style, peanut M&Ms and all, and see where it takes me.

About six months ago I sensed that the Universe was pushing you into a change.ReplyDelete
Biking Bulgaria is very affordable, I decided to live here for a while.
Cute hair style.
You are not going for the win, you are going for the experience.
You are capable of finishing the ride based on all of your previous tours. From what I have read, you don't do a lot of night riding and you are strong enough to handle 100 miles a day!
Be Strong and Ride On!
The haircut is cute and looks fresh!ReplyDelete
You're attitude is right - you can do it! You just go out there and turn the cranks one revolution at a time. You'll be ready!
Love the haircut, Jill. Can't wait to read about the GDMBR.ReplyDelete
Nobody ever knows if they can do the GDR, that's why we do it. You have a great edge, now that you're not carrying around all that extra hair. Just keep pedaling (or walking if need be), fill up with good water every chance you get, don't eat the burritos in El Rito (filter the water there too!), don't linger too long in Pie Town and you'll be fine. You're skipping the Seattle Livestrong Ride to do this thing, so I'm expecting a damn good story from you. Oh yeah, that's one more thing, when things go wrong, and trust me, things will go wrong, remember that those are the parts that make for the great story.ReplyDelete
Have fun, Jill. You're living a life a lot of folks only get to dream about.
Kent "Mountain Turtle" Peterson
Oh stop that whining, and get out there where you belong and ride your bike young lady!!ReplyDelete
You are the most awesome rider/endurance racer there is.
The hair trim is just the start of shaking off the old. But next time would you try for the sultry look instead of the deer in the headlights look. It would make the cut look even better.
Almost a Gwyneth Paltrow twin.
Jill, I love the new haircut!ReplyDelete
So funny to hear you flipping the zen card over and back: It's just a tour ... It's an epic adventure,... I'm going to the top of the mountain ... every journey begins with but a single step.ReplyDelete
Your mental prep for this is naturally influenced by your progression through your other big efforts. This is a big thing but now, it's just the next big thing for you.
I'm with Kent, can't wait to hear the story, that's always the best part of any adventure, at least for those of us who are married to a lawen mower.
Yr Pal, Dr C
First off, the cut: zesty!ReplyDelete
Secondly, go have some fun on the GDR. Keep it all in perspective and just keep spinning.
Thirdly, one of the guys I work with went from just living his daily life to critical condition last week. He's beating the coin toss odds that the doctors gave him. It's given many of us reason to pause. Keep soaking in 'life' Jill. You are good at it, and your sharing it with others is a great thing that encourages them to soak it all in too.
Great post - I hear you on all fronts. Just take good care of yourself. And yes, the cut is cute!ReplyDelete
First of all, you look adorable with the new haircut.ReplyDelete
As for the bike tour, you're going to do just fine. I seem to learn the most about myself - both strengths and limitations - when I'm struggling with a life challenge. I coast along through life when things are jolly but . . . give me some strife and I'll shine. Embrace the unknown.
Best of luck to you - I can't wait to read about your adventure!
well, i've ridden with you twice now, and i've given you my opinion, but i'll make it public here: you are incredibly strong. you're comfortable with a fast, light cadence and can turn the cranks all day. you climb like nobody's business. you've got the gear and have experience with it.ReplyDelete
of course this race is full of unknowns, but it seems to me like you can feel confident in all the ways it's possible to be prepared.
i will be following your progress every single day.
crush it!
Jill, I toured the full GDMBR top to bottom solo unsupported in 07. Just get to the start line, get moving and it will all make sense.ReplyDelete
I've followed your blog for awhile, love your writing. I agree with the others...I can't wait to hear your story. No doubt you can pull it off.
The offer is still on for a place to stay in Banff if you need it!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous5:27 AM
"Hey Jill,ReplyDelete
You're going to to just fine. I don't know if you know about this change about 3 weeks ago.
Just a heads up.
It looks like Jill is going for the full route race: Tour Divide
- Bob M6:59 AM

If anyone has her email or phone, please make sure she knows that the GDR is NOT STARTING in Banff on the 11th. It is starting from Roosville on the 19th. The TourDivide is starting from Banff on the 12th.
Since she writes about not knowing if she can do it in under 25 days it sounds like she is still expecting to do the GDR, which has that time cutoff.

American Axle reports strong quarterly earnings
American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc. reported its strongest quarterly earnings in more than a year.
The Detroit-based axle and components supplier recorded net income of $33.6 million in the first quarter on revenue of $858.8 million, compared to income of $7.3 million on revenue of $755.6 million in the same quarter last year.
American Axle attributes the growth to strong sales of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Jeep Cherokee and Ram pickup.
American Axle's content-per-vehicle dollar value increased 10 percent to $1,655 from $1,504 in the same quarter in 2013.
In February, California-based Industrial Realty Group LLC closed on the purchase of most of American Axle's 2.5 million-square-foot former Detroit Manufacturing Complex.
In November, American Axle named local wealth management veteran Sam Valenti III to its board of directors. Valenti filled the seat of former Chairman and CEO Richard E. Dauch, who died in September. Dauch's son, David C. Dauch, replaced Richard Dauch as chairman of the board.
Valenti is president and CEO of Bloomfield Hills-based Valenti Capital LLC and chairman of World Capital Partners LLC. <br

Detroit loves World Cup soccer - but loves Tigers baseball more, ratings show
Detroit is into World Cup soccer on television, but still not as much as it's into Detroit Tigers games.
Sunday's USA-Portugal match, a 2-2 draw at Brazil's Arena Amazônia that began at 6 p.m., drew a 6.8 average rating on ESPN, a network spokesman said today via email.
The U.S.'s 2-1 victory over Ghana on June 16 drew a 5.0 rating locally and 6.3 nationally.
Through 26 of the World Cup's 64 matches, the Detroit market is averaging a 1.8 rating, ESPN said. The numbers are via Nielsen.
The Tigers' 10-4 drubbing of the Cleveland Indians on Sunday averaged an 8.15 rating locally, FSD's data shows.
The regional sports network, which is amid a 10-year, $500 million deal for Tigers local broadcast rights, has topped all of Major League Baseball in local TV ratings the past couple of seasons.
Each local ratings point represents 18,564 households in the Detroit market.
While baseball trumps fútbol on TV in Detroit, the reverse is true in many other U.S. markets.
Nationally, Sunday's game set a U.S. television record for a soccer match with 18.2 million viewers, good for a 9.6 average household rating, ESPN said. It was the most-viewed program outside of NFL and college football in the network's 35-year history.
The former U.S. soccer viewership record was 17.8 million for the American victory over China in the 1999 Women's World Cup final, ESPN said.
ESPN paid $100 million in a package deal for the rights to air the 2010 and 2014 World Cup.
The 2018 and 2022 World Cup matches will be aired by Fox, which won the English-language U.S. television rights in 2011 for a reported $425 million after out-bidding ESPN and NBC.

i expected this to be a game like this. i expected a low scoring, very close game. all those people expecting a blowout from either team were kind of overkill with homerism but wow, i never thought we would shoot ourselves in the foot with the bad adjustments and mental lapses, it's safe to say kyle williams will be hated by most 49ers fans for a long time,
but i'll give credit where it's promptly due, the giants outplayed us greatly today that was a sloppy game and giants just executed better, i will be pulling for you in the super bowl because one, i don't like the patriots. and two, it you can play like that on super bowl sunday then you should represent the nfc in the super bowl, great game will see you in later years.. i'll accept smack talk about you're team for now but i will be back on these boards in offseason preseason regular season and postseason especially if my niners play the giants in the future

<p>The legendary pin-ups shot by the pin-up queen Bunny Yeager are featured in this installment of Playboy Retro. </p>
In the 1950s, Bunny Yeager helped create the entire genre of pin-up photography and her stunning photographs of beautiful women remain influential to this day. One of the few women photographers of the age, she began her career as a model before deciding to work on the other side of the camera. Her groundbreaking pictures portray voluptuous sexpots with broad smiles seemingly caught by the camera in the middle of having fun — each frame exudes a joyful sensuality and an amorous glorification of the female form.
Throughout the '50s and '60s, Bunny popularized the bikini in America, discovered Bettie Page, (their first collaboration was a Christmas-themed shoot for the January 1955 edition of Playboy), wrote a number of books about photography, showed up as a guest star on game shows, shot stills of Ursula Andress for the James Bond flick Dr. No, acted in a Frank Sinatra film, befriended Hugh Hefner, appeared as a guest on Johnny Carson, and shot for Playboy a total of 11 times.
For this week's Playboy Retro, we're taking a look back at Bunny Yeager's first years at Playboy. The obvious model to start with? Bettie Page, AKA the "Queen of the Pin-Ups," AKA "The Queen of Curves," AKA "The Dark Angel," the immortal model who managed to simultaneously exude wide-eyed innocence and sultry naughtiness. Tall, curvy, with her raven hair and her trademark bangs, a million-watt smile and friendly eyes, Bettie's been a style icon and the subject of lust for over 50 years. Though she'd been modelling since 1952, it was Bunny who brought Bettie into wider notice and acclaim. And while Bettie Page retired still young in 1957, her oeuvre remains timeless.
Bunny Yeager discovered actress and model and Lisa Winters when she was just a pretty girl hurrying to catch a bus in Miami. Bunny ran after Lisa but couldn't catch up to her. So Bunny went back to the same bus stop for the next three days in a row. Her persistence paid off: Bunny finally found her muse at the bus stop and was able to convince Lisa to model for her. Lisa Winters proved to be a knockout as Miss December 1956.
Myrna Weber didn't do much modeling, but when she did she made it count! Her pictorial for the August 1958 issue "Playmate on a Picnic" is iconic of the fun and flirty Yeager style. This great set of photos will stun you, then pick you up, and then make you a bit sad Myrna didn't pose more often.
Cindy Fuller was a legal secretary and an aspiring professional swimmer before taking the plunge and posing for Playboy. A succulent brunette with measurements to drool over (36D-24-36) Cindy was being wasted behind a desk until Bunny Yeager showed her off in the May 1959 edition. Get in the pool and see what Cindy's all about. Delight in the gallery above and enjoy some vintage babes getting sexy. These pictures were all shot by sexy vintage babe herself, the ever-amazing Bunny Yeager.4

Ruby is an increasingly popular, fully object-oriented dynamic programming language, hailed by many practitioners as the finest and most useful language available today. When Ruby first burst onto the scene in the Western world, the Pragmatic Programmers were there with the definitive reference manual, Programming Ruby: The Pragmatic Programmer's Guide.
Now in its second edition, author Dave Thomas has expanded the famous Pickaxe book with over 200 pages of new content, covering all the improved language features of Ruby 1.8 and standard library modules. The Pickaxe contains four major sections:

Brutal reading. you will learn if you do the work.

Comments about oreilly Programming Ruby, 2nd Edition:
I was reading Dave Thomas' "Agile Web Development with Rails" and decided that I need to read the Pickaxe book in order to understand the first one.(it is called the Pickaxe book because of the pick-axe on the cover)All tech authors, instructors etc, have to make a choice: Cater to the slowest meathead in the class or cater to the sharpest tack.I guess I fit the meathead definition as the Pickaxe kicked my butt(so did Dave's other book).Don't get me wrong, the Pickaxe was a good book for me, in fact if you are a pretty well versed "curly Brace" programmer in PHP or Java or C it would is a great book for you. Lets face it, Dave Thomas is the "take no prisoners", Chuck Norris of Ruby. Ruby would not exist in it's current form without him (Thanks Dave).I am a veteran Visual Basic guy (AKA not a real programmer) and a lot of what was in the Pickaxe was new to me. For a newbie like myself, it was a huge amount of work. The problem is that I did not have the assumed background knowledge to understand most of the examples. Dave would be describing one point of the Ruby language and give a code example that interjected as many as 3 other, heretofore unexplained functions or Ruby calls. I suppose that many people would not have had to look them up, I did. Things like Grep and gsub and many regExp options plus just a lot of fancy Ruby calls. I Did learn a HUGE amount looking these things up, and it was worth it to me. The actual book I needed would have twice or three times as thick and an experienced curly brace programmer would have hated it.So, This is a great book and you should buy it as there is not a better book out there, but, if you are a newbie, be ready to work. It took me about 50 hours to read and FULLY understand the first 173 pages. Yup, Like 15 to 20 minutes per page. (you are thinking this guy is a fricking moron, read the book first and then decide) I put alphabetical markers in the index and I recommend that you do that first thing, as YOU WILL BE IN THE INDEX all the time and you will be looking up stuff on the internet when it isn't in the index.Part of me would like to give the book a rating of less than 5, but "Definitive" does describe this book. It IS the definitive guide to Ruby.

Excellent Book, if somewhat lacking in places
By crowe
I found this book to be very well written and concise, though clearly intended for someone with some level of prior programming experience. My only real complaint is that some of the chapters, while covering a wide amount of material, seem to be lacking in depth. Aside from that, however, I found this book to be more than adequate to give a solid a foundation in Ruby, and after it serves as an extremely useful reference for the classes and modules that are built-in to Ruby.All in all, if you're interested in learning Ruby, this book should definitely be in your collection.
Well worth the price
By msoulier
Not only was this book easy to read, it is my definitive Ruby language reference in day to day programming. This might have something to do with the fact that freely available Ruby documentation sucks or in non-existent, but this would be my reference in any case.Well written, easy to read, great reference for later work. This is the way it should be done.
great introduction to a language
By Zed Lopez
When Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt, authors of The Pragmatic Programmer, published the first edition of Programming Ruby in 2000, it was the first English language Ruby book. Ruby documentation was so scant that they had to study the source code to do it, as Ruby's author, Matz, explains in his foreword. For 2005, they revised it to cover Ruby 1.8, the latest major release.Though there are now several other Ruby books, Programming Ruby is still trying to do it all -- language tutorial, language reference, a guide to thinking in Ruby (which includes thinking in objects), and an introduction to the Ruby community's conventions. The book is broader than it is deep, but, given its breadth, that's praising with faint damns.It's not a book for a programming novice, but the language tutorial was thorough and clear. Moderately experienced programmers should have no problems with it. If you've done object-oriented and functional programming before, it'll be easy going.I was impressed by how much the book includes of what you need to actually develop in Ruby -- trying code snippets in the interactive Ruby shell, debugging, watching out for Ruby's gotchas, developing a test suite, documenting (in Rdoc, a Ruby standard), packaging code into a Ruby Gem (RubyGems is Ruby's equivalent to Perl's CPAN), profiling your code to find the slow parts, and how to extend Ruby in C to speed them up.There's a brief survey of using Ruby for Web, Tk, and Win32 programming. The book's emphasis on breadth over depth is most obvious here -- 18 pages on web programming doesn't just cover CGI programming, but touches on cookies, session maintenance, two template systems for HTML generation, eruby (a means of embedding Ruby in HTML, like PHP, Mason, PSP, or the other *SPs), SOAP, WSDL, and the Google API. (Ruby on Rails is mentioned only as a framework "currently attracting mindshare in the Ruby community.")For all their brevity, these chapters were still useful. They're a starting point for learning available tools for those problem domains. More importantly, they demonstrate the breadth of the standard library and other available packages, and provide a lesson in looking for existing solutions first. That's old hat to people used to the open source world, but it could prove invaluable to someone who wandered in from the outside.Almost half the book is a reference to the built-in classes and modules, and to the standard library. Ruby has dozens of built-in classes, each, typically, with dozens of methods, so it's no surprise that a lot of this information went unmentioned in the language tutorial. In my use of the reference so far, I've found it clear and well-organized.Perl played a part in inspiring Ruby. Likewise, it strikes me that Programming Ruby's authors probably took inspiration from Programming Perl. It's even nicknamed for its cover illustration -- the PickAxe Book. And, like the Camel Book, it goes beyond the language at hand to advance general principles of good programming: code reuse, writing for maintainability, and avoiding reinventing the wheel. And it's all written with an infectious joy in programming.My only complaint about the book is that the index is spotty in its coverage of the language tutorial chapters -- I've felt frustrated trying to find discussions of things because, too often, the index only pointed to the reference section's coverage of them.But the book left me excited about programming in Ruby, and gave me all I needed to begin. That's all I could ask from an introduction to a new language.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Perfectly located in the heart of the Jewish Quarter (Kazimierz). Check-in was very easy even late at night. Apartment is spacious and modern furnished.
When we arrived at the appartement, we were all sattisfied with the appartement were we were going to stay for the next 2 nights. Besides the fact that we were welcommed every night by a homeless man, who was sitting in the staircase of our appartement complex, our appartment was fine. The shower was leaking and wasn't working well. The chairs were very unstable and during the first night of our stay, one chair broke when one of us was sitting down. During the second night we were approached by our host on the street after we left, who said how messy the place was (overreacted) and how much noise we made during that night. We reacted politly by telling him our awarness of our noise and appologised for that. We also promised that we would clean the whole place up, which we did. The fact that he entered the appartement during our stay without telling us, and the fact that he was very rude the next morning by yelling and insulting us, was very unplesant. We were trying to make clear we were very sorry for the noise we made, but even though the way he talked and yelld to us was very rude and unpleasent.
So the appartment was good for what we payed, but the way we were treated by our host was off limits.
We were greeted by a very nice man who got us into a great apartment. The apartment is centrally located with walking distance to everything.Two of the bedrooms had a window overlooking the street, where there were some sound on weekdays. We were unlucky and had craftsmen in the neighboring apartment, and they started early in the morning. So recommends desire apartment out onto the courtyard. There is also a nice terrace, we were disappointed not to get in our apartment since there are balcony / terrace in the description. It is also quieter inner courtyard and sunny.Beyond that the apartment was in tip top condition and neo-modern.
Very good apartment, within walking distance of old town, lots of café/bars around the square, host makes you very welcome and ensures you have everything you need.
Very good 3-days stay,
The apartment was clean and everything was working well. There was also a good Iron and its respective table to iron. The apartment is well fournished, very confortable, spacious, colourful and nice decoration. Everything we needed! Also the owners were very kind and helpful. Apartment near the center. Thanks for all, totally recommend it!
This is the place to stay in krakow. Central location, walking distance to everything. immaculately clean, ideal for two couples. Our host Andrejz was fantastic. Communication prior,during and post our stay was easy and Andrejz provided us with excellent information about this fantastic city.
Renovated, spacious apartment, great location, very nice host. All shops and center within walking distance. Recommended!
Renovierte, grosszügige Wohnung, super Lage, sehr netter Hausherr. Alle Geschäfte und Zentrum zu Fuss erreichbar. Empfehlenswert!
Great apartment in the center of Krakow. 2 minutes walk to the marked square and the cloth hall, 5 to the Wawel. Additional to all the places of interest the center around the apartment is full of coffee shops, restaurants and bars.
Everything worked totally easy. The apartment owner (Andrzej) was really heplful and dedicated.
Next time in Krakow, I will definetely book this apartment again!
