Bill Gates's New Focus: Streaming Video
For the past year and a half, there hasn't been much to cheer about in Building 9 on Microsoft Corp.'s campus in Redmond, Wash. That's where engineers labor on the company's NetShow streaming-media technology--which has been roundly criticized for producing nearly unwatchable postcard-size videos on PC screens. "To date, NetShow has been a no-show," says analyst Gregory Tapper of Giga Information Group.
That's about to change. On May 4, Microsoft plans to release its first public test version of NetShow 3--in advance of a formal June launch. People who have seen the new technology, used to send video and audio clips over the Web, say NetShow is finally ready for prime time. It has improved compression, which makes video clips satisfying even on a 28.8 kbps modem. And its so-called intelligent streaming technology adjusts on-the-fly to changing network conditions, such as traffic bottlenecks. "It improves the quality of the video dramatically," says Mark Cuban, CEO of AudioNet Inc., a leading provider of live video and audio content via the Web and a NetShow user.
Video technology may seem arcane, but Microsoft sees it as the key to crossing the chasm between the PC world, where it rules with its Windows software, and the much larger TV realm, where it barely has a toehold. Microsoft is distributing NetShow with its Windows operating system free of charge. Wide acceptance of the new version by Web publishers and consumers could drive demand for its Windows NT servers, WebTV service for browsing the Internet via television, and its new software for interactive cable. "In the long run, the Internet and corporate intranets will join radio, TV, cable, and satellite as a major broadcast network for entertainment and business communication," says NetShow product manager Gary Schare.
Today less than 1% of Web sites make heavy use of video. But Giga's Tapper estimates that those sites will number in the thousands within two years and will be tens of thousands a couple of years later. That's largely because of improvements by Microsoft and video technology leader RealNetworks Inc.--combined with the switchover to faster 56 kbps modems. These changes make the Web more appealing to businesses and consumers and could spawn a slew of new products, services, and content worth several billion dollars over the next half decade, according to market researcher Paul Kagan & Associates.
LIVE COVERAGE. Web site operators and software developers already are revving up. Media giants such as CNN, Fox, and MSNBC are making aggressive use of video on their Web sites. Last summer, CNN transmitted live video over the Web of Princess Diana's funeral. ZDNet News, a leading technology news site, plans to offer far more video over the coming months. Executive Producer Patrick Houston points to Apr. 20 when Microsoft Chairman William H. Gates III was embarrassed after Windows 98 crashed during his demonstration at the Comdex computer industry conference. "You can't express that moment any better than in video," says Houston. And in the business realm, dozens of software companies are building programs for video-based training, video archiving, and video corporate communications.
Microsoft's technology is finally up to the challenge. It includes Microsoft Media Player, software for receiving video, audio, and other multimedia content over PCs. The server-side component makes it possible to deliver quarter-screen video over dial-up modems--on up to high-quality, full-screen video over cable-TV networks. And a high-end product, Theater Server, is designed for hotels and airlines that want to deliver broadcast-quality video with such services as city guides and interactive shopping.
Microsoft didn't get here by hard work alone. The software giant has either bought or made equity investments in most of the top video-streaming players in a bid to catch up. It spent $60 million on an equity-investment and licensing deal with RealNetworks and paid $75 million to buy VXtreme Inc. Earlier, it invested $5 million to get a peek at technology developed by video pioneer VDOnet Corp. That has given Microsoft access to technology that it combined with its own software, which first debuted in December, 1995.
It also has given trustbusters cause for concern. As part of a wide-ranging antitrust probe, the Justice Dept. is investigating Microsoft's video-streaming moves. Justice was alarmed that Microsoft might buy its way into dominance of Web video, according to executives of rival companies who have been interviewed by government investigators.
Of particular worry: that Microsoft's dominance and appetite for video-streaming companies would poison the field for startups. "We told them venture capitalists don't like to invest where Microsoft has its foot in the door," says James Long, chairman of Starlight Networks, a developer of business-video applications based in Mountain View, Calif. Still, Long and other execs say they didn't accuse Microsoft of playing unfairly. And Rob Glaser, CEO of RealNetworks, the video-software leader that holds an 85% share of all Web pages that use streaming media vs. Microsoft's 5% share, says he's not counting on government help. "Even if Microsoft prices below cost," says Glaser, "we still think we can win."
Pricing is Microsoft's key advantage in its attempt to catch up with RealNetworks. Microsoft bundles the NetShow player and server for free with Windows and NT server software. If the tactic sounds familiar, it is. That's exactly the approach Microsoft used to batter Netscape Communications Corp., the early leader in Web browsers. The result: Microsoft grabbed a 40% market share in two years and forced Netscape to start giving away its browser, too. The analogies between browser and video software "are haunting. This happens time and time again," says David Limp, vice-president for marketing at Network Computer Inc., which competes with Microsoft's WebTV unit.
But there are some key differences. Most significantly, unlike Netscape and its browser, RealNetworks poses no direct threat to Microsoft's Windows desktop hegemony--so there's less motivation to crush it outright. Instead of targeting RealNetworks as pointedly as it did Netscape, Microsoft can instead overtake it in time.
SETTING STANDARDS. Indeed, Microsoft is trying to promote the entire video industry. Last summer, the company proposed the so-called Advanced Streaming Format--a de facto standard ultimately supported by more than 40 other companies, including RealNetworks. A standard was needed to assure compatibility between the major streaming-media technologies. But it also means that Microsoft is trying to set up its own technology as central, giving it an advantage in courting developers.
In new markets such as video, friends matter. So Microsoft is following its successful Windows blueprint by drumming up support from developers of software programs and tools. Some 100 companies learned how to build applications on top of NetShow 3 at a February workshop. For Excalibur Technologies Corp., which is developing a video-search product, the ubiquity of Windows was the deciding factor in its decision to forge a major relationship with Microsoft, even though it is collaborating with RealNetworks. "We went where there's a significant market opportunity," says Daniel Agan, vice-president for worldwide marketing. Excalibur's new product, Screening Room, which is used to search and archive videos, works on top of NetShow.
Right now, RealNetworks is the preferred video-technology provider for most of the major consumer Web sites. But Microsoft is beginning to gain mindshare. Over the next couple of years, Paul Kagan & Associates expects it to capture 25% of the video server market. "This can be like Pepsi and Coke, with neither one totally dominating," says analyst Jae Kim.
Already, popular media sites such as Bloomberg LP and CNN Interactive have decided to support both Microsoft's and RealNetworks' technologies, even though NetShow is not widely used by consumers yet. They say the quality is roughly comparable. And "there's great appeal in something that's free," says Jonathan Fram, general manager for Bloomberg's Internet Group. At CNN Interactive, which next month is launching a video site, the decision to use both technologies was a strategic one. General Manager Mark Bernstein says he wants to help make sure that there is always an alternative to Microsoft. "We don't want Microsoft to dominate the Internet," he says.
Still, he won't bet against the software giant. And over the long haul, even CNN might find it cumbersome to support two video formats. If that's the case, the technology that's available nearly everywhere, and for free, will have the advantage--and Gates may be the one saying, "Lights, camera, action."

siding starter strip
Can I just use a regular un-treated wood for my hardie siding starter strip? I have a table saw and can just rip down a 2x4 to the correct height and thickness. If I use treated only the end cuts will be treated so that seems like it defeats the purpose. I would rather not rip down hardie board to use for a starter strip because I would have to use my circular saw and it does not do a good job at connecting dust like my miter saw with a vacuum attachment.
199 Attachment(s)
You're in cedar country, rip some cedar.
You'll have to use a circular saw sooner or later for some cuts. If you're concerned about the dust, Ridgid makes a 5" circ saw specifically for cutting Hardie (and like materials such as backer boards). It has a built in dust collection system. Comes with an 8' hose and a "cap" that clamps onto a 5 gal. bucket and the dust is collected in the bucket. Mfgr. claims it catches 90% of the dust and I can attest that it does at least that well from my experience. HD carries them usually. I think they sell for around $170.00. You can get a reconditioned one at reconditionedtools.com for $129.00 plus shipping ($7.99 flat rate). My oldest son borrowed it to cut back some tile in a customer's house to install a threshold (used a diamond blade) and said it did an awesome job on that too. Very little dust escaped. Only drawback I've found is it doesn't have a depth of cut adjustment (don't know why). Great product overall....

Leap into The Year of the Tiger. The tiger is the third animal in the twelve animal cycle of the Chinese New Year. People born in the Year of the Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010) are characterized as sensitive, emotional, aggressive and sincere. They tend to be self-righteous and as a result of their pertinacity, quick tempered with their critics. All the same it is difficult to resist him, for he is a magnetic character. People automatically respect him—even those working against him.
The New Year is the most important festival in the Chinese calendar and celebrations continue for weeks. People come to temples to pray for success in the coming year as well as seek advice on love, health and business. Firecrackers are lit to ward off evil spirits and green branches are bumt to signify the passing of the old year.
Some famous people born in The Year of the Tiger are Marco Polo, Marilyn Monroe, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Charles Lindberg, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Sir Alec Guinness.
The streets of San Francisco's Chinatown will once again be lined with fresh flowers and plants as well as food, candies and fruits, all of which are all symbols for a new beginning and a prosperous new year. Children will be on their best behavior as they will receive lai see (lucky money) in red envelopes from relatives and friends. The custom is a way of sharing wealth and offering propitious greetings.
Chinatown this time of year is filled with the sound of firecrackers. The lingering smell of the gun powder and the telltale red wrappings strewn on the sidewalks inform the passerby that the evil sprits have been dispatched away. Lion dancers hired by the merchants and family associations help to scare away bad influences with their supernatural powers.
Celebrate Chinese New Year with:
Royal Lion's Head, a recipe by Martin Yan.

YouMail Finds, Fixes Android Market Issue
Irvine-based YouMail is heading back to the Android Market, after the firm was suddenly dropped from the store Thursday in a tiff with T-Mobile. In a blog post to users, YouMail said that it indeed, did have a real problem with a number of its Android Applications, as a result of an error that occurred with users upgrading from one of its older versions to the latest, 2.0.45 version of the company's apps. YouMail said the error resulted in its app constantly polling its services, leading to bad battery life, network bandwidth issues, and more. YouMail also said that--despite a blog post to the contrary--that it had indeed been contacted by T-Mobile, albeit through an end user, free customer support e-mail address, and that the issue had not been escalated by the firm because it was unclear that the contact was an official communications from T-Mobile's team. YouMail said it expects an update which will restore the firm's app to the Android Market shortly, and also outlined a few "lessons learned" about the whole experience. Youmail offers up an enhanced voicemail application and service.

Steve Chiotakis: Finally, IndyCar driver Danica Patrick is reportedly negotiating a switch of her driving allegiance to NASCAR. It would be a bigger stage for Patrick, and a big coup for stock-car racing. Joel Rose reports.
Joel Rose: Danica Patrick is the first woman to win an IndyCar event. But she's at least as well known for her exploits off the track, like a series of racy commercials for GoDaddy.com:
Man: Ms. Patrick?
Danica Patrick: Yes I've enhanced!
Crowd: Gasp! Ms. Patrick!
Patrick: It's true: I've enhanced my image with a domain name and a web site from GoDaddy.com.
NASCAR officials may be hoping Patrick will enhance their image, too.
Larry DeGaris teaches sports marketing at the University of Indianapolis. He says after a decline in ratings and attendance this year, NASCAR could use Patrick's star power more than ever:
Larry DeGaris: If you can bring more big-name sponsors on board who are gonna put money behind leveraging their relationship with Danica, that's good for the sport on several levels.
Marketing executives say Patrick could bring millions of dollars in new sponsorships.
I'm Joel Rose for Marketplace.

The ball may still be traveling or it may have begun to orbit the fifth moon of Jupiter. In my many games at the Metrodome, I had never and will never see a home run that traveled further. A hotshot rookie for the Twins had just been taken deep in his first big league appearance by the not so famous long ball threat, Gary Matthews Jr. The city had been abuzz for days about the new prospect that had just arrived from Rochester. He was a tall south paw with a Randy Johnson-like fastball and a slider that dropped off the face of the planet. Over the course of the next year, Fransisco Liriano would take Major League Baseball by storm and gain a new nickname along the way, "The Franchise." Liriano has gone through many ups and downs since that day against the Texas Rangers. From American League All-Star in 2006 to having career threatening elbow surgery a few seasons ago, the career of "The Franchise" has been tumultuous.
There is new hope on the horizon as the 2010 season is underway. News from the off-season has "The Franchise" placed back on track to make a big splash for the Twins as they enter Target Field. Reports from the Dominican Winter League place Liriano's fastball in the mid-90s and his slider regaining the form that it had in 2006. This is great news for a franchise that has lacked a true number one starter since the departure Johan Santana. Liriano has to fight for the fifth spot in the Twins Starting Rotation or find himself in Rochester once again. Hopefully his competitive drive will push him to regain the ace form of 2006 and he can truly become the pitcher of the franchise.

Who creates tax bills?
The Committee of Ways and Means is the chief tax-writing committee of the United States House of Representatives. Members of the Ways and Means Committee cannot serve on any other House Committees, though they can apply for a waiver from their party's congressional leadership. The Committee has jurisdiction over all taxation, tariffs and other revenue-raising measures, as well as a number of other programs including:
The U.S. Constitution requires that all bills regarding taxation must originate in the House of Representatives. Since House procedure is that all bills regarding taxation must go through this committee, the committee is very influential, as is its Senate counterpart, the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance.
- Social Security
- Unemployment benefits
- Medicare
- Enforcement of child support laws
- Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, a federal welfare program
- Foster care and adoption programs
The U.S. Constitution requires that all bills regarding taxation must originate in the House of Representatives. Since House procedure is that all bills regarding taxation must go through this committee, the committee is very influential, as is its Senate counterpart, the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance.

Who can write tax bills?
The Senate is incorrect. All Bills for raising Revenue shalloriginate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate maypropose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.
Who creates tax bills the senate or the house of representatives?
The House of Representative
Can the senate introduce a tax bill?
no He/she can not
Who has the power to write tax bills?
the government and obama NOO!! NOT the President!! The President is the Executor of the law, hence, the Executive Branch. Members of the House of Representatives and Senate w…rite the bills. Then they are introduced and referred to a specific Committee based on the issue (ie a tax bill goes to the Committee on Ways and Mean). It then needs a certain number of co-sponsors (other Members) before it's considered for a vote. Then it's up to the Speaker of the House (House of Reps) or the Senate Majority Leader (Senate) to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. If it's brought for a vote and agreed upon, it's then sent to the other side. For example, if it's agreed upon in the House, then it goes to the Senate for the same process. If it's agreed upon in the Senate, then it goes to the House. Once both sides vote and agree upon the same version of the bill (can change with amendments in each House), the bill is sent to the President. *there are always exceptions the process. There are occasions were the bill goes directly to the floor for a full vote and times when it goes to multiple Committees.

What is Sin Tax Bill?
A sin tax is a type of sumptuary tax. That is a tax specifically levied on certain goods and services which society considers to be unacceptable. Examples of items taxed this …way include tobacco, alcohol, candies, soft drinks, gambling, fast food, polluting vehicles, and coffee. Some suggest sumptuary taxes on sugar and soft drinks for public health reasons. Some jurisdictions impose taxes on illegal drugs such as marijuana and cocaine. The revenue generated by such taxes is sometimes used for special projects. However, such revenue can also be used in the ordinary budget. For instance, American cities and states have used them to pay for stadiums or for education. In Sweden, gambling taxes are used to help problem gamblers. People are more likely to accept sumptuary taxes than income taxes or sales taxes.

Can you claim orthodontist bills on your taxes?
Yes, as long as you itemize your deductions you can take it as a medical expense. ans The above is correct, and as many things with taxes "sort of"! Not only do you have to… itemize, but you have to have enough expense, VS income to do so. The below explains it and you can contact the IRS for the publication noted to get additional info: If you itemize your deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF), you may be able to deduct expenses you paid that year for medical care (including dental) for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents. A deduction is allowed only for expenses primarily paid for the prevention or alleviation of a physical or mental defect or illness. Medical care expenses include payments for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or treatment affecting any structure or function of the body. The cost of drugs is deductible only for drugs that require a prescription, except for insulin. Medical expenses may include fees paid to doctors, dentists, surgeons, chiropractors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and Christian Science practitioners. Also included are payments for hospital services, qualified long-term care services, nursing services, and laboratory fees. Payments for acupuncture treatments or inpatient treatment at a center for alcohol or drug addiction are also deductible medical expenses. You may include amounts you paid for participating in a smoking-cessation program and for drugs prescribed to alleviate nicotine withdrawal. However, you may not deduct amounts paid for nicotine gum and nicotine patches, which do not require a prescription. You may deduct the cost of participating in a weight-loss program for a specific disease or diseases, including obesity, diagnosed by a physician. In general, you may not deduct the cost of purchasing diet food items or the cost of health club dues. In addition, you may include expenses for admission and transportation to a medical conference relating to the chronic disease of yourself, your spouse, or your dependent (if the costs are primarily for and essential to the medical care). However, you may not deduct the costs for meals and lodging while attending the medical conference. The cost of items such as false teeth, prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses, laser eye surgery, hearing aids, crutches, wheelchairs, and guide dogs for the blind or deaf are deductible medical expenses. You may not deduct funeral or burial expenses, over-the-counter medicines, toothpaste, toiletries, cosmetics, a trip or program for the general improvement of your health, or most cosmetic surgery. You may deduct transportation costs primarily for and essential to medical care that qualify as medical expenses. The actual fare for a taxi, bus, train, or ambulance can be deducted. If you use your car for medical transportation, you can deduct actual out-of-pocket expenses such as gas and oil, or you can deduct the standard mileage rate for medical expenses. With either method you may include tolls and parking fees. You may include in medical expenses the incidental cost of meals and lodging charged by a hospital or similar institution if your principal reason for being there is to receive medical care. You can only include the medical expenses you paid during the year. Your total medical expenses for the year must be reduced by any reimbursement. It makes no difference if you receive the reimbursement or if it is paid directly to the doctor or hospital. You may include qualified medical expenses you pay for yourself, your spouse, and your dependents, including a person you claim as a dependent under a multiple support agreement. If either parent claims a child as a dependent under the rules for divorced or separated parents, each parent may deduct the medical expenses he or she actually pays for the child. You can also deduct medical expenses you paid for someone who would have qualified as your dependent except that the person didn't meet the gross income or joint return test. You may deduct only the amount by which your total medical care expenses for the year exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. You do this calculation on Form 1040 Schedule A in computing the amount deductible. Medical expenses include insurance premiums paid for medical care or qualified long-term care insurance. You may not deduct insurance premiums for life insurance, for policies providing for loss of wages because of illness or injury, or policies that pay you a guaranteed amount each week for a sickness. In addition, the deduction for a qualified long-term care insurance policy's premium is limited. Refer toPublication 502 , Medical and Dental Expenses. You may not deduct insurance premiums paid by an employer-sponsored health insurance plan (cafeteria plan) unless the premiums are included in Box 1 of your Form W-2 (PDF). If you are self-employed and have a net profit for the year, you may be able to deduct, as an adjustment to income, amounts paid for medical insurance for yourself and your spouse and dependents on Form 1040, Line 29. Refer to Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses, to determine if you are self-employed. You cannot take this deduction for any month in which you are eligible to participate in any subsidized health plan maintained by your employer or your spouse's employer. If you do not claim 100 percent of your self-employed health insurance deduction, you can include the remaining premiums with your other medical expenses as an itemized deduction on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF).

Winter (?) break in Singapore
My goodness, it's been a while. Winter break is almost over! Although I want more time to sleep and listen to music and watch movies, I am really excited to be coming back to Oxy for the Spring Semester. My class schedule for next semester is great - I have no morning classes so late nights will be a little easier to endure knowing that my day starts a little later than it did last semester. These are my classes: MWF 12:30 - 1:25 PM - Urban Fictions: The Modern City in Literature and Other Arts MWF 2:30 - 3:25 PM - Beginning French II MWF 3:30 - 4:25 PM - Statistics 146 TR 5:00 - 6:30 PM - Stupidity 180 R 1:30 - 2:55 PM - Statistics Lab I'm psyched especially for Stupidity and Urban Fictions because I'm sure Stupidity will challenge me mentally and Urban Fictions will involve a lot of media work. It was really great to get these 5 weeks to visit my family and friends in Singapore. Most of my friends go to college in the States, so they all converged upon Singapore for the break, making for a lot of exciting reunions. However, the break is faaaaaaaaaaaar too long to be away from Oxy and all my friends there. Oovoo has certainly helped in that regard, as we can group chat with as many as 5 other people for free! I really miss my friends and cannot wait till this weekend, where I make another 22-hour trek from Singapore, through Tokyo and finally to LAX. Hope the holidays treated you well, Aseem

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
are you available to chat?
Hi. Welcome to the chat room.
Pink eye is caused by a virus. Gentamicin is an antibiotic. Antibiotics only treat bacteria, not viruses. That being said it is very common for doctors to give people with pink eye antibiotic drops, even when they know it will do nothing to treat their actual condition.
Do you have a better idea?
There are a couple of reasons for this: To "guard against" the very,very rare secondary bacterial infection; to give the patient something to do while the virus runs its course and because mom's expect it.
Ok, guess enough with the speech, eh? :o)
Yes, use natural tears as often as you need to soothe your eyes and get the gunk out.
Place ice packs/cold compresses on your eyes for the discomfort.
Will it hurt to take the Gentamicin even though you doubt its efficacy?
Wash your hands to minimize the chance of spreading to the rest of the family.......This will run it's course in a few days and everything should be fine.
Nope. Won't hurt anything at all....
and it will help to prevent any secondary bacterial infection that you may be at risk of getting...
All Right. Thanks for your help. Happy New Year.

What's the Difference Between Jeff Clement and Brandon Wood?
For those of you who have asked "where is Jeff Clement" all throughout Spring Training, Jon Paul Morosi has a detailed update. Clement had a knee injury, which caused him to be removed from the list of non-roster invitees for Spring Training earlier this year, and kept him out of action during Spring Training. Morosi reports that Clement won't appear at any level until July, at the earliest, due to surgery on his knee.
The article goes in to more detail, pointing out the great draft class of 2005, showing why you should never draft for need (Seattle picked Clement over Troy Tulowitzki because they needed a catcher), and providing this quote from Clement:
"But as far as being done, or considering myself a bust, no way would I say that. I feel like my career is far from over. There's s...

It takes hundreds of hours, and months of dedication, stamina, and endurance to prepare for and participate in a competition such as ours."
The 2018 Young Artist Concerto Competition is January 7, 2018 beginning at 1:00 p.m. at Bainbridge Performing Arts. Applications must be postmarked by December 15, 2017.

Hey this Catster thing isn't so bad at all. Mum seems to think it's good and it certainly has it's benefits for me.
Each time the computer pings with another message mum comes and tells me how much other cats like me and she gives me a treat without me even having to say ham.
So come on Kitty's these humans are so gullible. All we have to do is look cute, they operate the keyboard (I find when I do it the spelling goes all funny they are just not designed for paws) and the next thing you know the fridge opens and out comes the roast beef.
Its so easy!
Keep up the good work Catster, I'm loving it.
PS Some of you guys are recommending tinned crab - is it worth trying?
Grandad came to visit today. He often calls when mum needs some DIY doing. (Do it your self! Who's she trying to kid it should be DWYDIFM Dad Will You Do It For Me.)
Anyway I like to keep an eye on what ever he's doing as it always looks so interesting and often provides me with an opportunity for an adventure.
Like the time he fixed a light in the attic. I snuck up the loft ladders and found a whole new set of cobwebs to attack.
So today when I saw him go in the bathroom I had to investigate, wouldn't want to miss out on a chance to learn some new skills. You never know when plumbing knowledge might come in handy.
He seemed to be looking at the big white bowl. Humm this looks intriguing I thought to myself as I wandered in behind him.
Curious to see what he was looking at I put my paws on the edge and popped my head up between his legs to take a look.
Crikey it didn't half make him jump and he said something I didn't understand just as my head got all wet.
Afterwards Grandad, Mum and Dad couldn't stop laughing and mum grabbed me and gave me a wash which I was not at all keen about.
Two wettings in one day is two too many for any cat. I think I'll be a little more cautious next time Grandads here.
Help there must be a law against it!
You won't believe what I caught my mum doing this morning.
It all started quite normally an average sort of morning, Bunty had forced open mums bedroom door and was reminding her that she should get up and feed us.
Being well trained mum duly emerged and everything seemed fine. It was't untill mum noticed that we had left scraps from last nights tea that the problem emerged.
At this point I must emphasise my annoyance with Bunty. Lets face it she usually makes a good job of hoovering up any leftovers. She must have been reading thoses glossy magazines again. You know the ones that constantly attack your self confidance by telling you that you should be a certain weight, buy the right lipstik and only wear designer gear. I mean why else would she suddenly develop a complex about her size.
Ah yes, what was my point? Oh I remember now, the problem arose as mum picked up our dishes. Rather than just putting the scraps in the bin she opened the big wooden thing that leads to that other world. You know, the place I can see through those glass things humans call windows. I immediately jumped up to see what she was doing. To my horror she took our dishes and emptyied them on to bird table. By the time she had returned through the wooden porthole there were at least six of those fiendish feathered things having a party.
I mean, how can this be allowed, what a travesty of justice! Feeding our scraps to vermin - whatever next?
Does any kitty out there know how to join a Cats Union or maybe the number of a good feline lawyer? This must contravene the Feline Court of Kitty Rights.

Russia says abortion ads must carry health warning
By Amie Ferris-Rotman
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian lawmakers, worried about a falling birth rate, passed a law on Friday that abortion advertisements must carry a health warning.
Russia has one of the world's highest abortion rates and cutting this could help it stem a demographic disaster that is looming as its population shrinks.
Under the new law approved by the lower house of parliament, 10 percent of the space used in abortion ads must carry a list of possible negative consequences for women, including infertility, RIA news agency reported.
According to the lower house's site, duma.gov.ru, 2007 saw 1.5 million abortions -- almost on a par with the number of children born that year.
"These ads make young girls believe they won't have any problems interrupting a pregnancy," RIA quoted parliamentarian Viktor Zvagelsky as saying of current advertisements.
He said the law was drawn up as "the situation with abortions in Russia was depressing."
Though the Soviet Union was the first country in the world to legalize abortion on request in 1920, dictator Josef Stalin outlawed it again, from 1936 until he died in 1954, to try to boost the birth rate.
The Communists later encouraged new births with prizes and money, but since they were ousted two decades ago Russia's population has steadily dropped. It shrunk by more than 12 million between 1992 and 2008, to around 143 million. Continued...

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is thanking the nation's law enforcement officers for risking their lives to keep Americans safe.
The President on Friday honored more than two dozen officers who won "Top Cop" awards for unusual bravery in taking action beyond the call of duty.
In the White House Rose Garden, Obama said the award winners represent thousands of officers who serve without accolades. He said his administration is committed to spending more money to hire new police officers and equip and train them well.

Superb physician
best doctor I ever encountered

May 6th, 2012
One of the BEST!
I have many health concerns, and I have seen twenty doctors and many therapists to help me with my many ills. All of them have failed at treating me in my condition. All of them, except THIS one!Dr. Gahlinger has done what all the other doctors could not. He has instilled in me the drive and determination to break an addiction to pain medicine that I have suffered from for 7 years, due to the wanton prescribing of medicine to me when I was only 14. Never before have I met a doctor who practices the way that Dr. G does, and that is a GOOD thing!Dr. G thinks outside the box, and has approached my addiction with a different mindset than all the 20+ doctors I have seen before. Because of this, he has saved my life and encouraged me to live a happier existence that I never thought possible. He has encouraged me and given me the advice I need to pursue my own career in medicine, and he now serves as the role-model for my own distant-future medical practice.Dr. G is one of the best doctors you could possibly hope to be seen by, no matter WHAT issues you might have.If you are looking for a doctor to help you, you have stumbled on just the right review and you need not look any further.

Great practice!
I have been to Dr. G's office several times, I have been treated by the PA's Stephanie and William. Getting an appointment was not hard. In other practices they sometimes have you send in your medical records then you wait for a phone call. I have always gotten an appt right away, even when calling with short notice. I am a recent veteran and have several pain causing injuries. Before coming to their office I could barely get out of bed, let alone care properly for my house hold. I like that I do not feel like I was going to be black listed or deemed a "drug-Seeker" by discussing pain medication and treatments. I know it is a serious issue, and there are reasons for concern on both sides of the Doctor/patient relationship. I felt more comfortable and cared for at this office then any other I've been to, and am grateful they are willing to prescribe medication in addition to other therapies, treatment and education they incorporate.

I think this clinic is the best clinic in the Utah. They are willing to help you with anything you need. I think this clinic is doing a wonderful job for the community. They care what there patients think and is willing to help them at no extent. The staff and the doctors treat you like family and they take pride in what they do. Thanks for all your hard work.

Dr. Gahlinger rarley see paitients himself. He has his paitients see his PA William Swarts. Dr. Gahlinger started his clinic in SLC by prescribing narcotics to paitients (expecially ones who don't need them & seel them on the street). After 2 years of prescribing to the same paitients and taking in many others the DEA caught on to what he's doing so he's cutting off paitients instantly. Every doctor know that taking a paitient off high amounts of opiates instantly is extreemly dangerous. Gahlinger currently has multipul law suites against him for putting his paitients in danger. The best part about it is he's still prescribing to paitients that don't have cronic pain and that abusive and sell thier pills on the street!!! How does he still have a lisence? The only reason he's praised is because he worked as a Dr in a poor contry for a few years and wrote some books. Now he's just a common drug dealer.

Excellent physician and wonderful staff
This is the best clinic I've ever been too and Dr. Gahlinger is extraordinary. He was voted one of America's Best Physicians -- and I can see why. He spends a lot of time to truly figure out health complaints and has superb knowledge.

Paul as an Administrator of God in 1 CorinthiansPosted by JGoodrich under Academia, Ancient History, Books, Durham, General NT, Paul and His Interpreters, PhD Stuff, Theology
[8] Comments
I am pleased to announce that my Durham thesis is now published. I've just received word that the publisher has received the advance copies and that the rest of the stock will arrive at their warehouse very soon. All of this comes some weeks ahead of schedule, which is quite nice, since in my youthful impatience I feel as if the entire process from submission to release, while uncomprisingly thorough, has been rather lengthy!
I'm sure it will take some additional weeks for booksellers to receive their stock, and even longer for libraries to process and place volumes on their shelves. But the book is already viewable on amazon and googlebooks, for those of you who wish to take a peek. It retails at a very reasonable $99 (yikes!). But I guess that's why we write book reviews.
Thanks are due to Cambridge University Press for their courtesy and professionalism along the way, as well as to my wonderful wife and family for their patience and support since the writing process began back in the fall of 2007 (wow, that seems so long ago now!).
Here is all the relevant data:
John K. Goodrich, Paul as an Administrator of God in 1 Corinthians (Society for New Testament Monograph Series 152; Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012). xiii + 248pp. Hardback. $99.00. ISBN 9781107018624.
This book looks in detail at Paul's description of apostles in 1 Corinthians 4 and 9 as divinely appointed administrators (oikonomoi) and considers what this tells us about the nature of his own apostolic authority. John Goodrich investigates the origin of this metaphor in light of ancient regal, municipal and private administration, initially examining the numerous domains in which oikonomoi were appointed in the Graeco-Roman world, before situating the image in the private commercial context of Roman Corinth. Examining the social and structural connotations attached to private commercial administration, Goodrich contemplates what Paul's metaphor indicates about apostleship in general terms as well as how he uses the image to defend his apostolic rights. He also analyses the purpose and limits of Paul's authority – how it is constructed, asserted and contested – by examining when and how Paul uses and refuses to exercise the rights inherent in his position.

Languages for all? The language debate and theological education in the UKPosted by Ed Kaneen under Academia, Languages, PhD Stuff, Teaching
[12] Comments
I am entering late into this discussion (perhaps too late in blog time), but this is my first opportunity to do so. As is well known by now, Larry Hurtado has been expressing the view (here, here and here) that New Testament PhD students in Britain should have reached a certain standard of linguistic competency by the time of completion (which could include testing at the viva – no thanks, I'm scared enough as it is). For traditional NT PhDs, this seems a reasonable proposition. However, there need to be some fairly major changes to the teaching of theology in the UK if this is to be taken seriously.
At Durham, we naturally have opportunities to study both ancient and modern languages, but I wouldn't like to have started any from scratch. I am doing this with Latin this year, but fear that I may not be able to devote the time to make it stick. Realistically, therefore, the British candidate needs a reasonable competency prior to beginning research.
In which case, there needs to be more emphasis on languages earlier in the education system. It is pretty much expected these days that applicants for PhD will have an MA in an appropriate subject. These degrees are described by the AHRC as 'Research Preparation' degrees since they are meant to be the preparation stage for the PhD. In my Biblical Studies MA at King's College London, we had to take a module in a language, either ab initio or advancing previous study. This is good, but is it enough? Should there not be a larger language component if the PhD is the aim? However, one academic year is not a lot in the study of a language. This turns the spotlight on undergraduate degrees.
Which is a problem, because it is quite possible to get a degree in Theology and Religious Studies in the UK without studying any ancient languages. Then again, there are plenty of subjects within this field which do not require them. However, if we are hopeful that there will be future generations taking up the discipline, then they will need the tools to enable them to do so. This is particularly acute with ministerial training in almost all denominations (a route which many PhD students have typically taken), where courses often avoid original language study altogether.
If we enforce Hurtado's language requirement for the PhD and do not change our earlier theological education, then I fear for those educated in the British system. I fear that this will mean in practice that the subject of traditional NT Studies will remain open to (a) those who are self-motivated enough to do the language study on their own (good for them); and (b) those who have studied Classical languages at school, which in the UK, almost entirely means public school (i.e. private school). I am not comfortable with the potential class implications of this, and indeed, it would be interesting to know how many of our current senior figures in the subject have a public school background which has contributed to their linguistic ability.
In other words, this is an important topic with implications for the structure of theological education as a whole, and not just for reasons of academic competence.

Aspiring Academics: Teaching and Curriculum DesignPosted by Ben C. Blackwell under Academia, PhD Stuff

Guest post series by Ed Kaneen on his experiences at the Workshop for Aspiring Academics:
Finally, the session on teaching and curriculum design was given to TRS students by Mel Prideaux, a Teaching Fellow atLeeds. Given her background as a secondary school teacher, it was interesting to hear that part of her current job is to help new undergraduates adjust from the highly varied and interactive teaching methods in modern schools, to the more traditional lecture-style approach of universities. She went through the elements of planning a course and getting it approved atLeeds, noting the importance of objectives and learning outcomes as guides to that process. Most universities will follow a similar pattern, and it was observed that it is now compulsory for new members of the teaching staff to undertake a postgraduate teaching qualification. More and more universities are now offering part of this qualification to PhD students who are Teaching Assistants and it was unanimously agreed that such a course should be taken wherever possible, not only because it will look good on the CV, but because it will exempt the new lecturer from some of the compulsory classes.
One of the contrasts with the Edinburgh day was that the speakers were generally early-career researchers themselves, as opposed to Professors. While we did not, therefore, have the benefit of years of experience, we could hear about recent experience, which was important. The job market is increasingly difficult, and it was sobering to think that many of those attending will not get the jobs for which they hope. This was perhaps summed up by a question in the final plenary session: 'How long after graduating and not getting a job should I keep the academic dream alive?' The answer given was that the dream will live as long as you want it to. In practice, I suspect that there is a more finite cut-off period than this, but the encouragement from this day was, at least for the time being, dream on.

Aspiring Academics: Getting a Job and PublishingPosted by Ben C. Blackwell under Academia, PhD Stuff
Leave a Comment
Guest post series by Ed Kaneen on his experiences at the Workshop for Aspiring Academics:
The second area of getting a job was covered by Jason Turner of the Department of Philosophy at Leeds, and Chris Renwick, a lecturer in the History and Philosophy of Science at the University of York. Jason focused on the application process, particularly CV's. Given that universities are only interested in research and teaching, there is little point adding anything else. Key strengths should be emphasised at the start, and highlighted in the covering letter, even though this may never be read. There may be as many as 400 applicants for each job, so keeping it clear and concise is in the applicant's favour (it was noted that this is different in the UK to the US, where a great deal of supporting material may be requested. This should be actively avoided in theUK, unless specifically asked for). The writing sample, as well as being excellent research, concise, clear, etc. should be of interest to a 'broad audience' within the discipline, as it will almost certainly be read by non-specialists.
The importance of publications came up time and again during the day, and Chris Renwick presented a whole session on this, as a new lecturer who had already published a number of articles before the end of his PhD. Having at least one publication in a highly regarded, peer-reviewed journal, was considered essential for the CV, and quality matters more than quantity. Chris recommended publishing one or two chapters from the thesis as you go along [although this should be checked with University regulations, as not all institutions permit this]. Indeed, he took the perspective that students should only focus on their thesis, and not waste time on publications outside their research topic. Although no ranking of journals is currently considered in assessing research within TRS, it is clearly worth getting published in as good a place as possible. However, Chris also made the point that, with the REF coming up, it may be harder to get published as a student, since many established academics are trying to get articles into print before the deadline for submission. Moreover, students should bear in mind that there will typically be an 18-month period in-between initial submission and final publication, so there is a need to start as early as possible.
It was an indication of how seriously the REF was being taken by some leading universities that Chris recommended not publishing in edited volumes, but only in journals. The reason for this is that it is more difficult to judge the quality of a piece which has not already been peer-reviewed. However, he did accept that, as an unknown academic, there are benefits in getting your paper published alongside more established names, as a 'status indicator'. Keith Crome, one of the contributors from Manchester Metropolitan University made the point that not all institutions are reliant on the REF outcome, and those like MMU which focus more on teaching than research will be much more interested in teaching quality and experience on a CV than research publications.

Aspiring Academics: The Academic LandscapePosted by Ben C. Blackwell under Academia, PhD Stuff
[2] Comments
Guest post series by Ed Kaneen on his experiences at the Workshop for Aspiring Academics:
The academic landscape was explained by Shearer West, Director of Research at the AHRC and Sean McLoughlin, Head of the Department of TRS at Leeds. Both emphasised the importance of research to British universities, and particularly the Research Excellence Framework (REF) forthcoming in 2014. I hadn't realised that approximately 75% of a university's research funding is dependent on this assessment of scholarly output, which explains the importance paid to it. Given this is the case, one of the questions candidates may expect at interview is which is of their publications are 'REFable', and what level would they attain (1* to 4*=world class). Inevitably, a discussion about 'impact' ensued, noting that 20% of a 'unit's' (i.e. department's) score would depend on the 'economic and social benefits' of the research. It is not yet clear how this will work in practice, but, as one working in biblical studies, I was pleased to hear that it was thought that impact on 'the church' should count. Post-docs were considered a 'good thing', although scarce, as they allow time to establish a research reputation, but with the new £9k undergraduate fees coming in, it is thought that teaching quality may have a higher profile in the future.

My good friend Ed Kaneen went to a training day, and he graciously offered to do a series of guest posts to describe his experiences for my reading audience. Here's his first post with general info:
The UK professional body, The Higher Education Academy is divided into a number of subject centres, one of which is Philosophical and Religious Studies. This centre regularly runs free, one-day workshops for 'Aspiring Academics'. Last year, I attended one in Edinburgh. This time, on Wednesday 11th May, it was at the University of Leeds (which has a much nicer campus than I had imagined). Broadly speaking, the day was divided into three sections: (i) the academic landscape inEngland today; (2) getting a job; and (3) preparing for teaching once you have got a job.

Re: Fluorine: The Death of the Party
Electronegativity refers to an atom's ability to be cynical and depressing about life in general as well as most chemical reactions . . . which just happen to be life in general. Fluorine is the most electronegative of all the elements and as such is rarely invited to parties and is considered a horrible bond-mate because of his incessant whining and inability to share electrons equally. Truly, it is nature's party-pooper.

Hey guys,
I'm going to be redoing my system for SQ. I'm getting a DEH-80PRS and plan to run active... I've ordered the Tang Band 6x9 subwoofers for the rear deck (need trunk space and seats to go down so trying to avoid subs, will simplify my system as well).
For the front stage I plan to run 6.5" woofers in the doors and then tweeters on the dash (OEM locations). I will be keeping my 4 channel JVC Arsenal KS-AR7004 amp which pushes 100W RMS per channel at 4ohms with THD of <0.04% for the mids and tweets, and I'm picking up an Alpine MRV-T320 and running it bridged one channel with the 2 Tang Bands wired up in 4 ohm parallel.
Now, I was looking at the ID CTX6.5cs components as I've heard great things about them, but since I am going active, I was thinking I can get more bang for my buck by sourcing raw drivers.
For tweeters, I'm looking at the Vifa NE25VTS-04's
But for the mids, I'm having some trouble... I'd like them to be amply powered (but not way overpowered) by my 4 channel. I've heard good things about the Dayton RS180's but I am worried that they may be too overpowered by my amp (unless I get the 8ohm versions... Thoughts on this?) or that they might not sound good enough mounted in my doors.
And this brings me to sound deadening.... I'm not gonna be layering my doors with sound deadner, but I just want to strategically place deadening along my door and trim (and the rear deck for that matter) based on which parts of the panel resonate the most... I was looking at Second Skin's products (feel free to suggest others as well), but I'm curious if I get the door kit, how I should apply my sound deadening on my door that it'll give me the best returns for minimum coin. I am a student on a budget and I'm not looking for the best in the world, but just a well rounded, nice sounding system for daily use. Not looking to enter any competitions lol... This goes for all my system components.
Any suggestions that would be good for my application? My car is a 04 Camry, and I listen to everything under the sun, from rock to rap, dance to jazz, and everything in between (except country... Don't get me started on that lol)

The definition of gender is as fluid as gender itself...We can locate many diverse definitions of gender. Gender impacts everything and we all think we know what gender is…. Gender is not a matter of two opposite/other categories of people; female and male, but an array of social interactions among differently situated people. The word gender, as well as the categories "woman" and "man" have many valid meanings which we view from our location, history, and perspectives. Different genders, femininities, and masculinities are interconnected through social systems such as race, class, and culture.
One textbook definition follows: Gender is the practice of behaving in masculine or feminine ways as defined by the society in which one lives and as a component of one's identity. Sex, in contrast is more related to physical form and function. In this sense, gender is a performance, something we do rather than something we are, and we learn it via the process of socialization (Donatelle, 2010). From birth, our gender identity development is impacted by our biology and our socialization, and combines to form our gender identity. How we are affected by our culture, geographic location, and overall environment will determine our gender.
Gender is biological and socially constructed and can be masculine, feminine, intersex, or even other categories that are not always so easily recognized. There are many names for the other categories and we may not list them all here, but just to name a few: gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, transgendered, metrosexual, ubersexual, mems, fems, hermes, and perhaps others.

Iditarod kicks off with fewer dogs, mushers in race
By Yereth Rosen
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - Some 67 mushers and their eager dogs began the grueling trek to Nome on Saturday in the Iditarod dog-sled race, with a ceremonial start amid the sounds of yapping huskies and crunching snow.
The 11-mile run through Alaska's largest city, cheered on by a crowd of well-bundled spectators, was just a formality.
Timed competition for the 1,100-mile trek will start on Sunday in Willow, a small community about 80 miles north of Anchorage and a gateway to the roadless wilderness where the real adventure takes place.
The trek commemorates a lifesaving medicine relay in 1925.
Under sunny skies, teams of mushers and their dogs, mostly Alaskan huskies, lined up with start times every two minutes, then rode through downtown streets to the cheering of dog-sled fans.
Economic strains have reduced the lineup of competitors in the 37th Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race from last year's record of 96. Besides the $4,000 entry fee, many mushers must take time off from regular jobs to train. And some sponsors have cut their Iditarod budgets in response to the economic downturn.
The 2009 winner will take home $69,000 and a new truck, the same reward as last year, but the total purse has dropped to about $650,000 from the roughly $900,000 paid out last year.
Typically, the winning sled bounds into Nome after about nine days on the trail. But with deep snow burying the middle portion of the trail, the sledding is expected to take more time this year. Continued...

I have a house in Oxford which last year fell foul of the change to residential categories. As a result I had to apply for planning permission for an HMO. One outcome was that Oxford City Council decided to remove the entitlement to 2 residential parking permits and required me to sign a Section 106 Unilateral Undertaking. Removing the permits apparently requires a Traffic Regulation Order at a cost of £1000, although now up to £1500. The house will not be a permanent change of use, just a few years while we go off and do other things.
It is clear reading some of the legislation that it does not really cater for this situation. I would have thought that OCC could be more imaginative and have some sort of system to merely suspend the permits. The planning permission does include the provision to return the permits once the change of use reverts to a domestic dwelling.
The impact is quite severe - no parking permits and no visitors permits. So even the visiting gardener cannot park while he trims the garden. Nor the boiler servicing man for the Gas Certificate etc etc.
Wondered if anyone else has come across this and if there was another solution?

Love Ends Disaster! - City Of Glass
Comparisons have been drawn to Talking Heads and Sonic Youth, and it's really not hard to see why.Read more on Love Ends Disaster! Listen to Love Ends Disaster! on Spotify
Strobe lights illuminate a manic frontman unhinged by frantic indie riffs and an intelligent lyrical irony. Crescendo follows crescendo, while a melancholic undertone works up the atmosphere.
It might sound like a Joy Division gig, but it's actually the imagery that comes to mind during the midst of this wholly impressive outing from Nottingham's Love Ends Disaster! In short - it's a no holes barred, gritted teeth rock album that still finds the time for balladry and crowd pleasing choruses.
From the chimes that so beautifully peter out into spiraling chords on the eponymous opening track, there's enough British Sea Power to be more than a little surprised when the bassline of distorted half-beat roller 'Killer Bombs' arrives three tracks later. A veritable wall of sound, the use of peaks, troughs and staccato rhythms are far from disappointing changes to the pace.
After the short and sweetly ambient interlude that is 'The Rudiments of Piano Playing', and the big room accessibility of 'Ladders', the East Midlanders deliver some truly imaginative songwriting. Lunging between heartfelt retrospect and madness, 'Untitled Dream #4', with its metaphorical narrative form and spiraling pianos, is arguably the best moment on here, and is nothing short of a joy to hear.
From here on in anyone with working ears should be sold. But while the digital messaging of 'Knight Takes Queen', and the realist's theatrical piano solo 'Sunday November 19th 1978' can be left for people to discover themselves, it'd be a crime to do the same with 'This Song'.
A scathing bite at the industry and society, set to undeniably catchy yet nonetheless challenging rock anger, it summarises the album and brings this review back to its beginning. Comparisons have been drawn to Talking Heads and Sonic Youth, and it's really not hard to see why.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Firefighters battled a fire in an electrical transformer that exploded early Sunday near the Monte Carlo resort.
Police spokesman Lt. William Scott says a transformer on a street behind the hotel blew up about 12:30 a.m.
He says there were no reports of any injuries. No one at the hotel was affected, but the fire apparently knocked out power to parts of the building.
Scott says firefighters are putting the blaze out.
Because of heavy smoke from the fire, northbound I-15 was shut down for a time due to poor visibility but has been reopened.
Scott says the transformer was likely connected to a power pole.
KVVU-TV reports that a photo of the blaze was posted on Twitter and drew widespread attention to the fire.

I'm sure I'm about to make people mad. Luckily, I don't care.
First, it is asinine to restrict the magazine capacity for gun owners. Bad guys will still use high capacity magazines as long as they are available. And armed citizens (whether a LEO or not) may well have to face that BG. Not allowing a level playing field doesn't help anyone.
With that said, limiting a LEO's magazine takes an extra special kind of stupid. Yes, an armed individual may come into contact with a bad guy. The cop WILL come into contact with a bad guy. A rookie LEO will be hands on with more felons than the average person will ever meet. The places you avoid are the same places the LEO must go, often several times during the same shift. It doesn't have anything to do with being elite, it has to do with probability. And when the next BG starts shooting in a school, church, mall, or where ever most citizens of the community will be shocked and thankful that they and their loved ones aren't at that location. Meanwhile the police officers are doing everything possible to get to that location to stop the situation. Arguing that they shouldn't have the tools is just ridiculous. Trying to prove a political point at the expense of those that will be facing the evil man is totally unacceptable.

Now taking preorders
This is the Featured Fabric Quilt for 2010 and it's been keeping me busy. If you don't know about the Featured Fabric Quilt for each year, it is usually a fullsized quilt that we kit. It ships out in four sections to keep the cost down. Also so it's not so overwhelming and time consuming. You have 3 months on this one to get a large block, one border and corner star done. That seems a lot more manageable.
We don't ship the lst section until March but this is mainly done from the "Looking Back" Brannock/Patek fabric line so we need to take preorders in case we need to order more fabric. If you belonged to the club last year, you're automatically on the list for this year unless you cancel. If not, and you want to get on the list for this year, email Tara at firstname.lastname@example.com or call her at 816-632-7632. I'd hurry every chance I get, when Moda's out of fabric, they're out of fabric.
I haven't ever done a quilt I don't like but I really like this one. I can't wait to see it quilted and on my bed.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Laurie Simpson and Polly Minick on the loss of their brother. We pray that the Ultimate Healer be with them and the rest of his family at this time.

I love this quilt and the blocks, will seriously think about this one.ReplyDelete
Love this one Jan! Are you keeping warm? I'm ready for a bit of spring!ReplyDelete
I am seriously ready for a bit of spring. Living on top of a hill on top of a series of hills is not quite so much fun in this kind of weather. Have been stuck in a snowdrift once and the driveway twice. So far!ReplyDelete
I've done it - I joined the club. I've wanted to do one of your patterns for the longest time and I looked at this quilt about 10 times, loved it every time...jumped into the pool!ReplyDelete
All your patterns are amazing and this one is just so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us.ReplyDelete

Hello everyone. I have a question for the body work/restore guys.
I recently bought a 68 bug for my daughter. I started stripping it to rebuild, as the pans need to be replaced. As I am taking it apart I see the front apron is rusted through (I can see the ground) and the bumper mounts are giant holes. Inside the car, the heater channels are rusted through, the luggage shelf is pretty much gone. I haven't done any body work before, and don't know at what point is it too much to fix. Also, with the front bumper mounts being gone am I in need of a front "apron" / "apron clip"?
Thanks in advance!

There are 19 "Houses of coffee" in Kharkov. The closest to the centre are:1) Sumskaya 23 and 752) Chernishevskogo, 45 A3) Pushkinskaya ,324) Artema, 585) Gagarina prospect, 20 A (MKS)6) Rosi Luxemburg square, 107) Klochkovskaya 104, A
Other coffee-shops you can recognize by their 'blaser coffee' logo.
This is more a tasting room than a cafe. They also sell coffee Blaser in these "tasting rooms". If you liked a sort of coffee you tried here, you can buy a pack of the same one for home. They will even grind it for you if you don't have a coffee machine or a coffee grinder. Each "Dom cofe" would be a perfect place for a business meeting. Unobtrusive music and rich smell of coffee creates a good and relaxing atmosphere.
