Red Plaid Wool Jacket with Scarf by Guest Blogger Shams (Communing With Fabric)
December 5, 2016 by Communing with FabricHey! It's Shams from Communing with Fabric with another project made from a fabulous Britex fabric! For this project, my assignment was to choose one of Britex's beautiful wools. I visited the store just a couple days before I left for Europe to make my choice. After much deliberation, I selected Mock Patchwork Plaid Wool.
How to Sew In-Seam Pockets into a Waist Seam (Christine Haynes - Citystitching)
November 21, 2016 by CityStitchingLike most people, I love having pockets in my garments. Pockets can come in many forms–patch, welt, in-seam, etc–depending on the garment and the style. One of the most common pocket styles to find in dresses and skirts are in-seam pockets. An in-seam pocket is where the pocket is literally sewn into the side seam, so it becomes invisible to see on the outside of the garment, but is right there at the hip whenever you need it. For dresses, typically the in-seam pocket is simply sewn into the garment as part of the side seam. The pocket floats in the seam, flapping around on the inside of the dress. This is the only option if the garment has no horizontal seams across the body. Sometimes this causes the pocket to pull on the side seam, creating drag lines in a drapey fabric, and making a flattering garment anything but.
Rolled Seam Tutorial With New Guest Blogger Nanna From Denmark (HowToDoFashion)
November 8, 2016 by howtodofashion
A while back Britex asked me if I would be a Guest Blogger. One of the difficult tasks of this assignment was to choose the fabric. I decided to work with a fabric that I think many people may be afraid to work with, chiffon. I love this blue chiffon fashion novelty fabric, it is light, and with the right sewing techniques, this fabric can turn into the most magical garment. The two techniques I always use when sewing with chiffon is a French seam and a rolled seam for hemming. In this post, I will show you how to make a rolled seam on your sewing machine.
Sewing With Knits - Tips by Bianca (VintageOnTap)
September 26, 2016 by VintageOnTap2016 has been Vintage on Tap's year to finally tackle sewing with knits. This year, I've already made three knit pieces: a bathing suit, cropped sweater, and a yummy jersey top. For this project, I was looking forward to bringing rich Fall colors into my wardrobe, so I went with a Purple Rayon Jersey Knit.
A Different Kind of Shirt By Guest Blogger Jamie (MaleDevonSewing)
September 7, 2016 by MaleDevonSewingAs you may know, I love shirts. Not just wearing them but of course making them too. Although shirt styles are all fairly similar (well at least for men) you can always have fun playing with the details: Different collars and cuff shapes, placket styles and of course fun fabric and buttons. So when I was asked to make a shirt for my guest blog post, I jumped at the opportunity. I wanted to do something a little different though; something a bit wild and fun. Over the years I have made countless different shirts but there was one particular style I had yet to make: The Guayabera. You don't see many over here in the UK but I have always been drawn to the relaxed yet precision aspects of such a shirt: The pleats, pintucks, curved yoke and four pockets were enough for me. The fabric had to make a statement too. It had to be bright with a fun design so what better than a cotton print with pink with little birds! I drafted the pattern myself, opting for a normal collar with stand, a triple point curved yoke, pintucked fronts and back with a central double pleat down the spine. Four pocket 'through' the pintucks and a cuffed hem. Before cutting the double pleat and two rows of pintucks were added to a piece of fabric that would form the back. The pleat was simple enough but I had to carefully measure the position of the pintucks so they would meet the pointed yoke.
Reversible 7-Gore Skirt
July 18, 2016 by Communing with Fabric
Hey! It's Shams of Communing with Fabric with another garment made from a beautiful Britex fabric! For this project, my assignment was to choose a fabric from the Knits category. I quickly settled on this beautiful double-sided ponte made from cotton, polyester, and lycra.
Reversible Black and Cardinal Red Cotton Blend Knit Fabric Click the image to see this fabric on the Britex site. It's also available in sky blue (Note that some of the photos show this fabric as a bright red, but it's actually a heathered red in real life)
This fabric is wonderful! It has more drape than some of its stiffer ponte cousins. It feels like a rayon and I was surprised to learn that it contains cotton, but no rayon. It is beefy, so it hangs nicely, but it's also a bit "sproingy". It presses beautifully. I threw it into the washer and dryer before cutting and it looked just the same afterwards. I didn't measure to determine the amount of shrinkage, but I suspect that it shrank a bit. Because it's a double knit, it's very easy to sew. If you are afraid of sewing knits, a ponte (double knit) fabric is a good way to get started. It doesn't curl at the edges due to it's double-sided construction. This ponte stretches in both directions, but it's also fairly stable. I wanted to feature both sides of the fabric and I seriously dithered about how to use it. I was torn between a top and a skirt and I knew exactly how I wanted to make each but, in the end, the skirt won out. I drafted a 7-gore skirt. Why 7 gores? I find the asymmetry of an uneven number of gores aesthetically pleasing. In order to use both sides of the fabric, I drafted the pattern with 1" seam allowances and a 1" hem. The only exception was the waist seam, which has a 1/2" seam allowance. I sewed the 1" seams with the black side facing the black side. I decided to funk it up by constructing it in a car wash style so I sewed each gore 15" down from the waist, and left the rest of the seam unsewn. I turned each seam allowance and hem segment to the red side and folded it under, turning the 1" seam allowance into a 1/2" trim. I secured each seam allowance, individually, to the red side by hand. You could do this by machine, but I like the effect of hand sewing—I have more control. As part of this process, I mitered all 14 corners at the hemline. Mitering is important to manage the bulk that would result if you merely turned up the trim on each edge. An advantage of such a clean finish is that the skirt is fully reversible! The red side features black trim, and the black side is solid black. It might be summer elsewhere, but when I took these pics this morning it was 50°F, windy, foggy, wet, drippy, and misty. In short, it was COLD and more like winter weather than summer weather! I didn't include a pic of the waistband, and I never tuck a top, but I attached a casing for elastic using the black side of the fabric. Because of the car wash effect, both sides flash the reverse color as I move. This skirt is a lot of fun to wear!
Millinery: How to Make a Removable Ribbon Hat Band
July 12, 2016 by Chuleenan of CSewsHow to Make a Removable Ribbon Hat Band (Millinery Part II) I've had this hat for years and then the hat band began to show some unfortunate discoloration. It turns out the manufacturer used a double-sided adhesive to attach the hat band to the hat. The adhesive became greasy and leaked through the ribbon. A high quality hat would not use adhesive of any kind. I got it because I liked the shape and the small brim. It goes with a lot of my wardrobe. My solution was to remove the old hat band and the adhesive and make a removable replacement hat band. I decided to make two. This is the first one. To see my striped removable hat band using two ribbons, see Part III. My first step was to choose my Petersham ribbon. Petersham is a type of ribbon that has little notches on the edges that enables it to go around a curve. It has some flexibility to it, which lets you manipulate it so it can go around a curve and lay flat against the crown of the hat (the part that covers the head). Britex has a huge selection of Petersham in solid colors and even striped Petersham, which isn't as common as the solids. Here's the ribbon I selected for the first hat band: A solid gray, 1.5 inch width First I measured the crown of the hat at the widest part - about 23 inches there. Make sure your tape measure is at the same level around the widest part of the crown, where the ribbon will go. I moved it slightly up so you could see the measurement. Cut a length of ribbon the circumference of the crown plus two inches. You won't need more than an inch or so extra but you can always trim the excess. I like to have a little extra for safety. When you put the ribbon around the crown, it won't lay flat because the crown is wider at the bottom. You will have a slight gap at the top of the ribbon, like this photo. To make your ribbon lie flat, you gently stretch the bottom edge of the ribbon as you press it with your steam iron. Start at the center and pull it to one side and then repeat on the other side in the opposite direction. You just want it to be slightly wider at the bottom, about 1/8 inch on each side of the ribbon. Don't forget to use a press cloth to protect the ribbon. If you don't it could get shiny. I used a scrap of organza as my press cloth. Now the ribbon will lay flat against the crown because of the slight stretch you gave it.
Insertion Lace on a Curved Seam - Guest Blogger Nicole
June 30, 2016 by NicoleAtHomeI'm so excited to share my method for inserting lace into a curved seam (such as a princess seam). For my blouse, I used this dusty peach handkerchief-weight linen and floral ivory insertion lace, though there are many, many options for both linens and laces, both online and in-store! After seeing one of the cover shots for the Hayden pattern, and making a couple myself (two versions here), I really wanted to insert lace in the seam lines on the front and along the hem. The style lines are curved, though, so the typical way of inserting lace had to be tweaked a bit. Usually, insertion lace is applied on an uncut, unseamed piece of fabric. The general steps are: sew along both lengths of the insertion lace, then cut through the fabric on the wrong side and press the fabric open. On the right side, using a narrow zig-zag stitch, sew along the edge of the lace again (which catches the fabric on the wrong side) and the trim the fabric on the wrong side, close to the stitches. Insertion lace can also be inserted into an existing seam, before sewing the seam and after taking into consideration the added width of the lace. However, for this blouse, the seam in which I wanted to put the lace was a curved princess seam along the front. Instead of inserting the lace before sewing the seam, I did it a bit differently:

DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Calif. - The FBI is seeking the public's assistance in finding two women linked to digital evidence in an ongoing investigation involving the sexual abuse of a minor. The minor is described as a 6 to 8 year-old girl whose photo continues to be circulated in numerous child pornography forums on the Internet, authorities said.
The unidentified women, "Jane Doe #25" and "Jane Doe #26", are not seen in newly released digital images and video, but they may be able to provide valuable details regarding the identity of the victim or suspect, FBI investigators said.
Images containing both individuals were found on the internet, and first came to the attention of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in August of 2012. Jane Doe 25 is described as a white female, likely between the ages of 18 and 25, with dark hair, and a wing tattoo covering most of her back. Jane Doe 26 is described as a possibly Hispanic female, likely between the ages of 25 and 35, with dark hair and brown eyes. "These are not even individuals who are involved in the abuse to our knowledge," said Laura Eimiller from the FBI. "They're clues that are taken from the images and video of real child pornography."
The whereabouts of the unidentified women are not currently known, but investigators believe that the individuals may possibly have ties to Los Angeles, Riverside or San Bernardino counties. Investigators hope the photos attract the attention of someone who's seen the distinctive features, especially the tattoo. A tattoo Desert Hot Springs resident Dean Gray. "You know it's distinctive from the wings on the back, but I've seen a couple of ladies with that kind of design in their tattoos," said Gray.
Another photo released by the FBI shows the victim wearing a San Bernardino Junior fire Marshal hat. Another photo not released, possibly links the women to the valley. "Some of the images that we have are of the victim swimming in a pool, hotel pool in Desert Hot Springs," said Eimiller.
The background of one of the photos shows a pool facility. We showed it to a long time employee at the Desert Hot Springs Spa who told us off camera, it looks like their pool. For Gray, it's too close to home. "I'm just surprised to see anything like that happening, much less in the Coachella Valley but we have to go after it aggressively," said Gray.
The FBI hopes others will remain vigilant like Gray to help save this little girl. "I'm going to keep my eyes open, if I see anything I'm going to call the cops right away," says Gray.
If you have any tips, you are asked to call the FBI toll-free hotline, 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Fast blinkers after smoked housing and LED lights installed.
Hey guys I purchased one of those $80 kits off ebay for smoked housings for the blinkers and fender parking lights. I believe this is the link to the product.
Depo 07 12 Jeep Wrangler JK Smoke Front Bumper Signal Lights Side Marker Lights | eBay
I also purchased red led lights that go to amber when you hit the turn signals. Just installed them this morning and it looks great but now the blinkers work normal for the first 5 min and then go to the fast blinking the rest of the time when the blinker is activated. Does anyone know what I would need to order to fix this small problem?? Thanks !!
LEDs do not draw the same current as incandescent bulbs, so there is typically a resistor that needs to be added. The reduced current draw makes the system act like a bulb is burned out.
I can't tell you exactly what you need or how to do it, but that is the basics.
Need a load equalizer when going to LCD
I thought everyone hit up google these days before attempting DIY work
How to Check Your Blinker Fluid - YouTube
Replace the stock flasher with an electronic flasher relay, like the ones at SuperBright LEDs. They do not have a minimum load, so you can mix and match regular signals with LEDs and everything will blink normally. No resistors needed.
I bought the motorcycle version from them because the rear signals on my bike are LED and it has been working fine for over a year.
OP. I see from your profile that you're from New Jersey. I thought blinkers were only in Wisconsin vehicles. When I moved to Illinois 30 years ago, I had to have my blinkers replaced with turn signals. That was quite an adjustment.
Around where I live they are just some extra lights that rarely ever get used, from what I've observed. I don't think most drivers know what that extra handle on the steering column is for.

Princes of Ireland – Edward Rutherfurd
4 star
This book is the first in Rutherfurd's two-part Dublin Saga. Beginning with pre-Christian Ireland the books follows a seemingly endless cast of characters through the centuries of change. Following the generational history of several fictional families, Rutherfurd portrays major events in Irish history from Viking invasions to the deceptions of Henry II. Rutherfurd's style is often compared to James Michener. I found many similarities between them, and I was also reminded of Follett's Pillars of the Earth. Rutherfurd's characters are precisely placed on a historical playing board to insure their interaction with major events. Each historical section of the book provided a complete and eventful story the held my interest throughout. It was easy to listen to this book
as it is broken into manageable sections for each historical period. However, I found that I wanted the print edition to read for the maps and family tree diagrams the helped to tie the inter-related stories together.
I have read most of Edward Rutherfurd's novels and, on the whole, quite like his work. Unfortunately, one has to be the least favourite and this one wins the prize. I hate to use this word when describing books but it was 'tedious'. The Princes of Ireland follows the author's tried and true formula of taking a location and following it's growth and change throughout many centuries - in this case the city of Dublin, Ireland from the time of the Druids to the 1500's. Generally the story is told through the eyes and actions of a number of families throughout the generations.
Princes of Ireland felt like one endless description of minor, sometimes petty, battles from beginning to end. The people were never fleshed out enough for me to really care about them and, as a result this book never really captured my attention. I did stick it out to the end though - all 1280 pages of it because I have enjoyed so many other books by this author.
If you have never read anything by Edward Rutherfurd, I wouldn't want to spoil that experience for you - try his excellent 'Sarum' or 'London' instead.
3.5 stars
I can't say I loved this book and given that the author routinely gets praised to the heavens I was somewhat disappointed. As a novel, I thought this was rather patchy; some parts held my interest, others didn't. There were few characters I was really interested in and I had a particular problem with the women in this book. The best aspect of the book is of course the history and the amount of research that has gone into it. It's packed with historical detail, from great events to small details of everyday life, beautifully presented in a very readable manner. Of course, occasionally the author seems to slip from novel into textbook mode, but personally I didn't mind that. Top marks for historical content, but in terms of entertainment value I'm less enthusiastic. Liked it, but didn't love it.
I have read several of Rutherfurd's books and enjoyed this the least. That does not mean it is not a good book - it just means I don't think it is as good as some others. If you don't have knowledge of Ireland - this is a good read for good basic history.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345472357, Paperback)From the internationally bestselling author of London and Sarum -- a magnificent epic about love and war, family life and political intrigue in Ireland over the course of seventeen centuries. Like the novels of James Michener, The Princes of Ireland brilliantly interweaves engrossing fiction and well-researched fact to capture the essence of a place.
Edward Rutherfurd has introduced millions of readers to the human dramas that are the lifeblood of history. From his first bestseller, Sarum, to the #1 bestseller London, he has captivated audiences with gripping narratives that follow the fortunes of several fictional families down through the ages. The Princes of Ireland, a sweeping panorama steeped in the tragedy and glory that is Ireland, epitomizes the power and richness of Rutherfurd's storytelling magic.
The saga begins in pre-Christian Ireland with a clever refashioning of the legend of Cuchulainn, and culminates in the dramatic founding of the Free Irish State in 1922. Through the interlocking stories of a wonderfully imagined cast of characters -- monks and noblemen, soldiers and rebels, craftswomen and writers -- Rutherfurd vividly conveys the personal passions and shared dreams that shaped the character of the country. He takes readers inside all the major events in Irish history: the reign of the fierce and mighty kings of Tara; the mission of Saint Patrick; the Viking invasion and the founding of Dublin; the trickery of Henry II, which gave England its foothold on the island in 1167; the plantations of the Tudors and the savagery of Cromwell; the flight of the "Wild Geese"; the failed rebellion of 1798; the Great Famine and the Easter Rebellion. With Rutherfurd's well-crafted storytelling, readers witness the rise of the Fenians in the late nineteenth century, the splendours of the Irish cultural renaissance, and the bloody battles for Irish independence, as though experiencing their momentous impact firsthand.
Tens of millions of North Americans claim Irish descent. Generations of people have been enchanted by Irish literature, and visitors flock to Dublin and its environs year after year. The Princes of Ireland will appeal to all of them -- and to anyone who relishes epic entertainment spun by a master.

Board votes to bring loan current
Tunica County skirted on the edge of defaulting on a loan, before supervisors voted last week to bring the note current.
County administrator Michael Thompson and comptroller Alex Wiley said Feb. 13 that monthly payments of $12,000 on the November and December 2013 claims docket had not been made and that the creditor was demanding both the past due amounts and February's payment now "to make the loan whole and avoid default," Wiley said.

Apple has new products on the way. We all know it and now the Cupertino-based company has confirmed it as the Apple Store goes down ahead of the iPhone 6 launch event.
With the company's latest smartphone set to be formally unveiled later this evening, September 9, Apple has taken its store offline. For those unfamiliar with Apple launches, the Apple Store always goes down just before new devices are added.
"We'll be back" a note on the Apple Store homepage reads. It adds: "We're busy updating the Apple Store for you and will be back soon."
While Apple has yet to offer any formal confirmation of what new products could be hitting its virtual shelves this evening, leaks and rumours have pointed to a collection of new devices.
As well as the iPhone 6, a larger, iPhone phablet offering, potentially named the iPhone 6 Plus, is also being tipped to a formal unveiling.
What's more, Apple is expected to introduce its first wearable this evening. The long rumoured Apple Watch is believed to be given its formal bow at the San Francisco-based event.
Although Apple might not release these devices immediately after launch, it is expected that iPhone 6 pre-orders will kick off through the digital store.
Stay tuned to TrustedReviews for all the latest, breaking iPhone 6 news as we have it.

Canopius will be a key platform in the international growth plans of Japanese insurance giant, NKSJ, according to the company's annual report.
Its acquisition of Canopius in May 2014 provides NKSJ with a broad international reach, one that complements a host of recent take-overs.
NKSJ's move for Canopius follows a string of ambitious acquisitions that include buy-outs in Singapore, Turkey, Malaysia, Brazil and in the case of Canopius, the UK, between 2010 and 2014, totalling around $1.68 billion.
Under plans outlined in NKSJ's annual report, the insurer is intent on making its overseas segment a more significant part of its group business, increasing its share of profitability from around 7 percent now to 7-10 percent by 2015, as the company looks to increase group profitability from ¥101.5 billion ($996 million) in 2013 to ¥180-210 billion ($1.76 billion-$2.06 billion) by 2015.
The company's international segment will be responsible for a significant part of this growth, with NKSJ predicting a 7.4 percent increase in overseas subsidiary profitability for 2014. Canopius will undoubtedly play a significant part in this development.
Under NKSJ, Canopius has continued to achieve strong results, driving its combined ratio down to 84.5 percent and ROE up to 25 percent, and the insurer is looking to Canopius to lead the development of its overseas reinsurance business, while continuing to benefit from, and build, on its US and European specialty business.
NKSJ meanwhile continues to forge ahead with growth plans in the domestic Japanese market and its ongoing merger of Sompo Japan and Nipponkao, which should be finalised by September 1.

Catalog → Undergraduate → Academic Regulations → Class Withdrawal
Students may withdraw from individual classes until the deadline each semester, term, or session (see Academic Calendar for specific dates). Students who complete the class withdrawal process will receive a grade of W. Tuition and fees are not adjusted for withdrawing from individual classes. Students are required to earn at least 67% of their attempted hours each semester to maintain financial aid eligibility. Students who withdraw from more than 33% of their attempted hours in a semester will lose financial aid. Failure to attend class does not constitute official withdrawal from that class.
Note that if students are enrolled in only one (1) course and choose to withdraw from the course, the student must withdraw from the university instead of withdrawing from the course.
Students are permitted to withdraw from a maximum of 16 credit hours throughout their undergraduate career. After a student has exceeded this limit, the student must earn a final grade of A, B, C, D, F, or FN.
If a student, using the online course withdrawal process, withdraws from all courses for which the student is enrolled, the student is considered to have officially withdrawn from the university. The official university withdrawal date will be the date the student withdrew from the last class.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I adopted a child from Africa, (8 yrs old) and the boy has only one parent. All adoption has been finalized. I have gone for finger printing, and now I just received a letter from the immigration to provide proof that the birth parent can not provide the child basic needs consistent with the local standard in Africa. Since Africans don't file Tax like in USA. And Boys father does work, he only sells toothbrush on highways when there is hold up (traffics).
Am confused on what to provide for them. Please Help!
Run, don't walk, to an attorney who specializes in international adoptions.
If you can find one who has done adoptions from Africa that is better, and from the same country would be ideal.
It is impressive you have gotten this far without an attorney. But you need one now. Use the search function on this site to look for lawyers who handle international adoption.

I added an International Adoption link to your question. I guess you could start by looking at State Department or other websites that talk about the standard of living, and average earnings of people of that nation for some background. If you went through an adoption agency, I would think that they would be your best resource.

Bad reporting - Skype UWP part of Windows 10 Mobile etc.
Sorry, but this article is just bad reporting. All active users of Windows Phone 8.1 devices (i.e. 2014 handsets onwards, roughly) have the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade a screen-tap or two away. And that includes the native Skype UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app. The exact same app as in Windows 10 on all other form factors, including PC.
So let's not have this 'Microsoft abandons Skype on own platform' FUD.

The magic circle firm has boosted its US law practice in Hong Kong by recruiting in-house lawyer Josh Zim-merman.
The move reunites Zimmerman with former Cravath Swaine & Moore colleague Joe Sevack. The pair were based in the US firm's Hong Kong office for about three years.
Sevack said: "For a US securities practice in Hong Kong, Josh is a very good catch. It is not easy to find people with the right experience."
Zimmerman's arrival increases the number of lawyers in Hong Kong focused on US securities work to seven. Sevack is one of two partners in the practice.
Tim Steinert, head of the US securities practice in Hong Kong, said: "Our US securities practice in Asia has gathered tremendous momentum in the last 18 months."
Securities, capital markets, initial public offering and M&A work has been on a steady increase. This growth has prompted the firm's expansion plans for the practice in Asia. Sevack said: "This market is an area that we would like to grow, but we're growing it selectively."

Auckland based laparoscopic surgeon, James Hamill, is passionate about youth and adolescent health.
Having trained in adult general and trauma surgery, and paediatric surgery James believes it is important to consider potential impacts of treatment when caring for his patients.
"The type of investigations can differ between young and old, for example, you may not choose to send a young person in their teens or early twenties for a CT scan and expose them to the radiation," James explains.
Surgical options can also be different for young people.
"Minimally invasive surgery is important for young people, not only because it enhances recovery but also young people don't have to carry large scars for the rest of their life," he adds.
Although young people often don't have many health issues, James cautions the challenges facing our health system, including an aging population, can mean their needs aren't prioritised.
"There needs to be an advocate for youth, they need to have a voice," he explains.
Southern Cross Health Society Affiliated Provider
James has enjoyed the benefits of being a Southern Cross Affiliated Provider since 2014. Affiliated Provider arrangements give certainty of potential co-payments for Southern Cross members and James likes the financial peace of mind his patients receive.
"This is especially true for the younger people and young families I see. They don't often have the disposable income of the baby boomers, so knowing they don't need to worry about payment upfront is great."
"Having health issues can be stressful so having a system in place where my patients know the financial side of things is taken care of is enormously beneficial," he explains.
Another benefit for Southern Cross members seeking treatment through an Affiliated Provider is the prior approval process is taken care of on their behalf.
"I know with my Southern Cross patients the paperwork is all taken care of when it comes time to arrange a prior approval. It eases the pressure because there's one less thing to worry about," James says.
Pain research
An honorary senior lecturer in surgery at the University of Auckland, James is currently working toward a PhD. His research examines how to enhance recovery and making operations less painful. Titled SPRAY trial (sprayed peritoneal regional analgesia in appendectomy) he is investigating whether local anaesthetic sprayed onto the peritoneum, compared to saline, reduces post-operative pain in children undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy for suspected acute appendicitis.
Private referrals
James accepts General Surgery referrals for children and adults. As a Southern Cross Affiliated Provider he is contracted for a range of General Surgery procedures including laparoscopic cholecystectomy, inguinal, umbilical, and femoral hernia repair.
He can be contacted on 09 524 4333.

I fell asleep in History today. I didn't mean to. I mean, I like History - I'm thinking of taking it for GCSE. But I was just so tired. I've hardly slept at all recently, despite my exhaustion. It's making me look like a panda, as dad used to say: there are these humungous black rings around my eyes. Kate caught me and poked me until I woke up. She teased me, but I really was not in the mood for jokes and told her to leave me alone. She looked so hurt and for a moment I felt guilty, because we are meant to be best friends.
Then I remembered that I didn't care.
There are emotions rising up inside me, but I keep pushing them down. I'm getting good at that - far too good.

According to a report by Marc Stein of ESPN.com, the Celtics and Courtney Lee have met, and the Celtics have emerged as a "serious suitor" for Lee. The Boston Celtics have emerged as a serious suitor for Courtney Lee after coach Doc Rivers met with the free-agent guard Saturday night, according to sources familiar with Boston's thinking. Sources told ESPN.com that the Celtics, in the wake of losing sharpshooter Ray Allen to the Miami Heat, have racheted up their pursuit of Lee as a possible replacement. Lee averaged 11.4 points per game for the Houston Rockets last season and hit 40 percent of his 3-point attempts. The Celtics don't have the salary-cap space to sign Lee outright, but sources say that the Houston Rockets have let it be known that they're willing to participate in sign-and-trade deals with both Marcus Camby and Lee amid the increasing likelihood that neither of those coveted free agents will be returning to Houston. He goes on to say that the Wolves, Hawks, Pacers,...

As commander of the Carnivore - the most lethal Bradley Fighting Vehicle of the Iraq War - Dillard Johnson was at the forefront of the 2003 invasion. Awarded a Silver Star with Valor for his heroic efforts to save the crew of a crippled Bradley, he was personally responsible for 2,000 confirmed enemy kills. But surviving the enemy was only the beginning. Johnson would use the intensity, focus, and humor that kept him alive on the battlefield to fight stage three Hodgkin's Lymphoma - which developed from the radiation poisoning he suffered discharging 5,000 uranium rounds in combat - despite learning he had a 1 in 4 chance of survival. A man determined not to die, Johnson made a miraculous recovery - and then returned to Iraq for a second combat tour as an Army sniper. Performing overwatch protection for his fellow troops, he is officially credited with 121 snipers kills, believed to be the most ever by a U.S. Army sniper and second only (across all branches) to Chris Kyle. After finishing his 21-year career in the military in 2006, Johnson became a private contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, in Carnivore, this decorated hero tells his amazing story.
Funny and exciting, Carnivore offers fresh insight into the mind and heart of a warrior and offers a look at the lives of troops on the ground not seen before. It is the story of a poor kid from Kentucky who has beaten extraordinary odds and a loving husband and a devoted father of four children, including a son with cerebral palsy. It is a story only one man can tell.
©2013 Dillard Johnson and James Tarr (P)2013 HarperCollinsPublishers
"Mostly Rubbish"
I don't doubt his courage but apparently this guy won the war all by himself. After further research, it appears his fellow soldiers have disowned him.
"very very good. 9/10"
a very bery nice story bout amour in the war. book is very entertaining n enjoyable. . reader did a good job on it
"America's deadliest soldier"
Amazing and very entertaining story of the personal account of Dillard Johnson in the Iraq war
This book is meant to be on the big screen. What a hard headed push forward mini might, great stories of the Battle's and struggles he went through.Great insight and depth in to the making of a Tank man.
I really loved this book and the Performance of the reader was great, easy to get into and follow.
"Raw and Visceral Excellence"
Very real, uncut and personal storytelling. Really brought me back, put me in his shoes.
"Amazing story."
As an Iraq war veteran of the campaign, this book hit a sweet spot. I can't vouch for the facts but I can say it's a great read!
"cocky and I like it"
loved it couldn't put it down. finished it in one setting. God bless our troops and wonderful Americans like this man.
"Great for anyone seeking battle stories."
I wasn't looking for political commentary, just action. This book has lots of action.
It reminds me of the Carlos Hathcock book.
He has the proper voice for this type of storytelling.
It wasn't, but I completed it in less than two days.
There is little emphasis upon motivations, philosophy, and political drama in this book. I like that a lot. This takes you directly into the action.
"An entertaining audio book"
I bought and listened to this before reading any reviews and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some parts did stretch belief a bit; an armoured vehicle crewman operating in an almost infantry role and racking up a high count of marksman/sniper kills seemed unlikely. Reading others' comments afterwards I learned that he was not well liked by colleagues and considered to be a liar, but this doesn't diminish the fact that I found his story to be greatly entertaining. You'll have to decide for yourself whether the fact that the story is quite fictionalised puts you off or not.
John Pruden's narration is fantastic as always; this being the third book I've listened to that he has narrated, American Sniper and Viper Pilot being the others.
"Awesome Book"
I really enjoyed this book, it really makes you think about the sacrifices that our men and women in the military go through.
"was needing a better military read"
amd this was it. Nothing crazy or movie stylish, Just good stories told from the heart.
thank you for you service to all who have and currently serving.
"Carnivore a must read"
Dillard Johnson has been a close personal friend of mine for over 15 years. He is one of the most compassionate, loyal, & dedicated men I know. His semi-biographical novel, CARNIVORE, is as good of a depiction of active-duty Army life in a theater of combat as I have ever read. And, despite a lot of ignorant , misplaced, & jealous criticism of the book, the events depicted in his book, and his descriptions are, without question, true and factual personal perspectives. I had highly recommend the read. It's entertaining, informative, and captivating. My only criticism is that "Crazy J", himself, should have read the audio; the man is hilarious and has impeccable comedic timing. And, although the audio book reader does a fairly good job, Dillard would have knocked it out of the park.
"Great story"
Story was great and the narrator was by far one of the best. I have listened to about 6 audible books and his one is either one or two on my list.
"An exciting account of armoured combat"
Regardless of the controversy that has surrounded the author of this book, the story provides a fascinating, exciting and human account of combat in our era. The author provides the listener with a technical and visceral view of mechanised and hand to hand fighting and balances it well with touching personal elements and the horrors of war in a greater context. The book provides the adrenaline rush of a good old adventure whilst not glorifying war. As a comparison, it is much like a modem version of Robert Mason's classic book "Chickenhawk".
"Don't waste your money"
The book is written by a spoofer, Google his name and make up your own mind, I'm sorry I didn't before I gave him my money.
Thought it sounded fabricated. Turns out his men said he made it all up and that most of the stuff didn't happen.
"The harsh reality of war"
Great reading of a book that transforms you inside the Bradley. Amazing story well read and I am looking forward to hearing it again.
"Great book, awesome narration"
A matter of fact War memoir read by John Pruden, (awesome reading ) . Reminds people that freedom doesn't come free, heroes die so we can have it.
"a great book, extreme, entertaining, honest"
well worth a listen if you understand and are comfortable with truthful military recollections, thanks
"Really amazing story!"
A truly remarkable first hand account of modern warfare. Thoroughly gripping, funny and very enjoyable.

Army on Tuesday foiled yet another infiltration bid from across the border by killing a militant and arresting another in Tanghdar sector of Kupwara district.
Troops guarding the Line of Control in Tangdhar, 145 kms from Srinagar, noticed some heavily-armed militants sneaking in to the Indian side and asked them to surrender, a defence spokesman said.
However, they opened fire and in the retaliatory action, one militant was killed while another was arrested.
This is the third infiltration attempt by militants from across the border in as many days. Six militants and two army jawans were killed in the two previous incidents.

Commissioned by Cisco, Participle's Charlie Leadbeater interviewed 100 social entrepreneurs seeking to meet huge needs without the advantage of traditional resources. The research focused on social entrepreneurs in Education in India, Kenya and Brazil.
Charlie and Annika feel that innovative radical new ways to take learning to the poorest places in the world can be learnt from studying these social entrepreneurs.
"In the next few decades, hundreds of millions of young, poor families will migrate to cities in the developing world in search of work and opportunity. Education provides them with a shared sense of hope. Many will be the first generation in their families to go to school. It is vital that the hopes they invest are not disappointed.
Yet even in the developed world, education systems that were established more than a century ago still under-perform, mainly because they fail to reach and motivate large portions of the population. These ingrained problems of low aspiration and achievement among the most disinvested communities in the developed world are proving resistant to traditional treatment.
This report outlines four basic strategies governments in the developing and developed world can pursue to meet these challenges: improve, reinvent, supplement, and transform schools and learning. [...]
To make learning effective in the future, to teach the skills children will need, on the scale they will be needed (especially in the developing world), will require disruptive innovation to create new, low-cost, mass models for learning. [...]
That kind of disruptive innovation may not come from the best schools. It is much more likely to come from social entrepreneurs who often seek to meet huge need without the resources for traditional solutions: teachers, text books and schools. Disruptive innovation frequently starts in the margins rather than the mainstream.
Governments should continue to look to the very best school systems to guide improvement strategies. But increasingly they should also look to social entrepreneurs working at the extremes who may well create the low-cost, mass, participatory models of learning that will be needed in future."
Through web and desk research, particularly by examining grants and awards made by organizations such as Ashoka, the Schwab Foundation, the Skoll Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and
others, Charlie and Annika identified more than 100 examples of socially entrepreneurial organizations providing education and learning to underserved and poor communities and to people living in extreme environments, in cities and in rural areas. This is the first time the work of these social entrepreneurs has been brought together. Their case studies are just the tip of an iceberg of
many more projects that are underway.
The desk and web reseach was followed up with field study trips to Brazil (Rio de Janiero, Belo Horizonte and São Paulo), India (Hyderabad, New Delhi, and Pune), and Nairobi, the capital of
Kenya, to follow up the work of these social entrepreneurs in more detail. The field work focused mainly on city slums. Charlie and Annika visited several favelas in Brazil including Rocinha, the largest in Latin America. In India, they visited slums in all several major cities, including Madangir in Delhi and Hakimpet in Hyderabad, which are two of the most established slums in Indian cities. In Nairobi, they made several visits to Kibera, one of the largest slums in Africa, as well as a number of other slums in the city, including Mukuru, Mathare, and Dandora.

Bearden Middle School Science Olympiad (BMSSO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization devoted to improving the quality of science education, increasing student interest in science, and providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education.
The BMSSO team has won the Regional and State Science Olympiad Tournaments for 23 of the past 26 years. In each of those years, we have represented the State of Tennessee at the National Science Olympiad Tournament, consistently placing in the top 30 teams. We have placed as high as 5th in the nation in individual events. This winning tradition is the result of our clear focus on goals that are meant to help every young person who participates more effective in the classroom and in life.
The goals of the Bearden Middle School Science Olympiad program are:
• To teach science on a level that is not possible to achieve in a normal middle-school classroom setting in order to help students succeed in their high school and college classes.
• To teach study habits and a quality work ethic that will guide our students to being successful throughout their lives.
• To teach our students to strive for excellence, not only in their studies, but in everything they undertake.
• To teach the importance of teamwork and encouraging team members to do their best.
• To encourage our team members not only to be good students, but more importantly, to be the best person they can be.
Having a successful Science Olympiad team requires a great deal of money. Funds must be raised for event supplies and equipment, and for travel to the Regional, State, and National Tournaments. Our team receives no funding from the county school board. We must raise funds through the support and cooperation of individuals, organizations, and businesses like yours. Additionally, all coaches volunteer their time to work with students in this exceptional program.

Well-defined diagnostic strategies are of primordial importance in order to ensure optimal and fast global care of the acutely ill or multitrauma patient who enters the emergency department of the hospital. Written by leading experts in the field, this book will help the clinician to understand the clinical problems and to select the methodological and technical options that will ensure prompt and effective response and correct interpretation of the clinical findings.

From the reviews:
" ... This book successfully meets its goal of providing an up-to-date reference that addresses emergency imaging and interventions. It is a useful companion to similar previously published texts in emergency radiology but adds the useful facet of including interventional approaches to a spectrum of emergent conditions ... This book would be well positioned as a ready reference in both academic and private practice reading rooms and would benefit emergency medicine physicians as well. "
David D. Pellei, MD; Radiology: Volume 247: Number 1 - April 2008)
"A new text has emerged that deals with the extensive field of emergency radiology. ' the book is informative, up to date, and enjoyable. ' The subject matter is well presented and would be useful to emergency department physicians and radiology residents rotating through a trauma center or emergency radiology department. Those radiologists whose practice does not include the performance of interventional procedures would also benefit from the information in this volume." (American Journal of Neuroradiology, Vol. 29, March, 2008)

BeschreibungLeal recounts his experiences as a "child of the Mexican Revolution, " recalling the entrance of Villa and Zapata into Mexico City. He describes his life in Chicago from 1927 to 1943 and then in the Philippines as a member of the American armed forces. He also discusses his academic career and his contributions to Chicano literary criticism. The unusual format of a conversation between two friends gives readers a taste of the "tertulias" that Don Luis hosts, at which colleagues, friends, and students discuss literature, life, and art, thus reviving the Hispanic tradition of the "literary circle."

Dress-ed for Summer
I love a one-stop-shop outfit and dresses have that ease, especially in Summer! A dress can make you stylishly presentable in less than five minutes by simply throwing it on! These summer dresses ooze chic and simplicity. Outdoor barbecue? Done! Day at the beach? Done! Flea market shopping and coffee with a friend? Done and Done! Simply add a pair of easy-to-throw-on sandals with a go-to bag and your outfit is complete. You'll be out the door in minutes!
Which dress would you love to grab and go?

Grown-Up Shorts Capsule
This capsule is full of grown-up shorts; the stylish kind. You'll not see any rips or super-short lengths here, but that doesn't mean it has to dull. These pieces are all classy and comfortable with a splash of fun! As we age, we often try to separate ourselves from those who are just coming of age. There is a stigma on trying to look "too young" as you swing into middle age and beyond. And while I believe you should wear whatever you feel great in; I personally wouldn't choose to wear the same outfits as my daughters. Getting older doesn't mean clothes have to be boring. Fun clothes can be classy AND adorable!
Allow me to explain what I love about each of them:
Yellow shorts: I can't help it, I LOVE yellow! In the summer it connects me to the sun and makes me feel brighter. The classic cut on these shorts make them versatile while the color makes them fun.
Bright Colored Pattern Shorts: I admit, I have a thing for patterns and for bright colors. I would probably stick out in France like a sore thumb. The cut of these shorts is simple which allows the fabric design to take the spotlight. It's a statement piece without being too busy.
White shorts: These may seem like a super basic choice, but you can't go wrong wearing white in the summer. Pairing any top with these shorts makes it feel fresh. And it doesn't hurt that white shorts go nicely with a new tan.
Draw-string Stripe shorts: Talk about comfort! There is nothing more comfy than drawstring shorts. It's almost like getting away with wearing pajamas out in public! The striped pattern take these shorts to a higher class, especially paired with the right top and possibly a blazer. You could wear them to a meeting!
Embroidered shorts: Seriously IN LOVE! These shorts are classy without trying. And the artwork in the embroidery? Swoon! It's the perfect blend of art meets function. I could imagine wearing these almost everywhere. They seem dressy but wear comfortably.
Jean shorts: Everyone needs a good pair of jean shorts! They're timeless and go with EVERYTHING. Talk about versatility. But notice the absence of rips and holes. In my opinion, those are better kept for the young. You can still look stylishly sloppy without actually being sloppy.
Polka-dot shorts: I smile every time I look at these. There is something about polka-dots that make me feel playful. I think because they don't take themselves too seriously and it reminds me to lighten up! Plus, a pattern like this is basically neutral and easy to pair with many things.
Blue Lace shorts: These are definitely a bit dressier, but I can't help loving the ombre effect of white, turquoise and blue. It reminds me of oceans and gorgeous beaches. While I wouldn't wear these shorts everywhere, they would be a happy addition!
Flower shorts: I can't help but love a pattern like this! It's adorable and comfortable ~ two of my favorite characteristics. Not to mention I'm mad for daises! I love the trim; it adds surprise without taking away from the overall look. This also goes in my classy-and-not-pajamas-but-feels-like-it category.
What are you favorite pair of shorts?

Capsule Wardrobe Summer Skirts
Somewhere in the middle of summer, I start reaching for one of the coolest pieces in my closet ~ skirts. They feel dressier than shorts while still battling high temperature heat. They're fun to mix and match with unusual tops because almost anything goes. I selected all short skirts in this capsule because I'm short and they're my favorite kind; but also, in the middle of July heat, I don't want anything wrapped around my legs. My favorite skirt outfits are classy skirts paired with t-shirts. I like the juxtaposition.

Day 6: Relaxing with the Bolsters
We started out the day thinking we were going to head towards Vermont, but like many things in life, it just didn't turn out that way.
I had thought we'd go by Niagara Falls, then land for lunch in Ithaca, do a quick tour of the campus, then finally push on into Vermont. Mother Nature had other ideas.
As I was doing the flight planning, a large line of thunderstorms was sitting right on top of Ithaca. Although we could take time to ...
First Stop
... along with a volleyball net (which we didn't even see). We were unhappy that we were out in the open on a hill - directly in the bright sunshine. The AC unit in the camper was on full-blast! The camper lot was very big with another level down the hill. There was a great hill for me to get some excercise on my bike though!
p.s. I'm actually sitting at our second campground while writing this. I forgot yesterday!

text: Trust in the USDA Organic seal reaches an all-time high among organic buyers WASHINGTON, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- U.S. families are increasingly embracing organic products in a wide range of categories, with 81 percent now reporting they purchase organic at least sometimes. This finding is one of many contained in the Organic Trade Association's (OTA's) newly released 2013 U.S. Families' Organic Attitudes and Beliefs Study, conducted Jan. 18-24, 2013. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130404/DC89022-INFO ) "More and more parents choose organic foods primarily because of their desire to provide healthful options for their children," said Christine Bushway, OTA's CEO and Executive Director. Not only are more consumers choosing organic products at least sometimes, but the majority of those buying organic foods are purchasing more items than a year earlier. New entrants to buying organic now represent 41 percent of all families – demonstrating interest in the benefits of organic food and farming is on the rise. Produce continues to be the leading category of organic purchases, with 97 percent of organic buyers saying they had purchased organic fruits or vegetables in the past six months. Breads and grains, dairy and packaged foods were also frequently cited (all scoring above 85 percent) among those who purchase organic. Families choosing organic foods are increasingly important to retailers of all types, with organic buyers reporting spending more per shopping trip, and shopping more frequently than those who never purchase organic food. Consistent with findings from previous studies, nearly half (48 percent) of those who purchase organic foods said they do so because they are "healthier for me and my children." Additionally, parents' desire to avoid toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers (30 percent), antibiotics and growth hormones (29 percent), and genetically modified organisms (22 percent) ranked high among the reasons cited for buying organic products.
