Ida Clutch Bag
I added an inside pocket, and made it as big as I could without interfering with the darts. It's big enough for a phone.
I stuck a pin through the lining and leather where the tailor's tack was (the tack was just in the lining), to mark the snap position on the leather. Then I used the washer as a template, and marked the position of the prongs with a pen (making sure it wouldn't bleed through to the front!).

New Look 6500 shift dress: a simple pattern that I couldn't leave unmodified
How much adjustment do you do on a very simple pattern? Do you feel it's worthwhile to make very small changes to get it just right or perhaps you sew up simple things as is and save your efforts for a special dress or coat.
This simple dress pattern is something that I choose as one of the suggestions for my Sew a Dress class at Hello Stitch in Berkeley. (scheduled again for Sun. July 30 – the first one was great fun. More details at the bottom of this post on all the upcoming classes). As it happens Craftsy asked me to write a longer post outlining all the steps to sew a simple dress, consequently I decided to sew up this pattern and get a lot of things done with one project. Plus I've been on a shift dress kick lately. They are such simple and pleasant things to wear. Since it was 107˚F in the SHADE here yesterday I would rather have worn a dress made of ice cubes but since that is not going to happen a shift dress it is.
I have had this fabric in my stash for a good 5 or 6 years. It's a cotton batik that I bought in Hawaii, quite a large amount (5 yards) and just never found a use for it. Slightly heavy as a lot of batiks are, so not really good for most dresses plus the vertical stripe had me stumped. I think I found the perfect style for it that uses the stripe best. Plus I can wear my stripes navy blue espadrille sandals – double win.
Here's the pattern envelope, with a sneak peek of a subsequent version of this dress. Which everyone has gone wild for on my Instagram teases, embroidered denim must be the thing this summer. The envelope says D0569 but all the pattern pieces say New Look 6500 so I'm calling it that. I really like New Look patterns, they come up with some super cute dresses and tops, plus they include all sizes in one envelope and cost $ 3.99 all the time.
Onward to my adjustments: I sewed this dress for the Craftsy post, not as a wearable but as a "photograph-able" item, i.e. something that would really show in the step-by-step tutorial but I had no intention of wearing it. It was actually quite a pleasure to just sew up a dress with no changes, I sewed the size 12 and went from there.
Here is the version I sewed for Craftsy, in a quilting cotton that I had in my stash, I think a remainder from a project I did for someone on Etsy ages ago. And I really loathe this color of green so don't even tell me that you like this dress on me 🙂 Plus for the most part sewing/wearing garments with quilting cotton is a bit NO for me. With some exceptions they always look a bit off: too wrinkly, too juvenile, too unsophisticated to claim my interest.
But I include the photo of me wearing this one to show the neckline fit. That neckline was choking me – I don't like that high round neckline and when you move your head forward it's so uncomfortable. Good shoe match thought, right?
Back to the blue and white batik version. Can you see the difference in the neckline? It is so much more comfortable for me in the second version. I wanted to figure out exactly how much to open the neck so I made a version of just the top half of the dress in swedish tracing paper – and every time I use that I remember that is has absolutely no give. While it seems like a good idea because you can sew it – putting it on is not so easy. I did put a zipper so I could actually try it on – which worked in the end but it was kind of shredded. However it was good enough to slice and dice a bit, figuring out how I wanted the final neckline to be shaped.
I cut out the batik version based on my new neckline, and basted it together at the shoulder seams to see if I liked the neckline. It still seemed a bit too high for my preference and also I like the armholes to be more cut in at the shoulder in a sleeveless dress. So instead of cutting more off the edges of the dress I made a one piece facing for front and back, and then used tracing paper to mark a seam line. At the neck I took away a further 5/8″ (total seam allowance now 1.25″) and then on the armholes I think I sewed it at around 7/8″ which makes the armhole a bit bigger all around. You have to be careful that it doesn't make the armhole too low but this dress had a very tight armhole so there was plenty of room.
On my next version of this dress (the embroidered chambray fabric) I'll show how I make the one piece facing plus this upcoming version is lined so it incorporates facing and lining together.
The original New Look pattern had separate neck and armhole facings which works ok, not my preference but not as horrible as some make it out to be. But there's a better way. Another option for these simple summer dresses is bias binding but I wanted to show the traditional or basic type of dress sewing.
But we are not done yet! In fact this adjustment should have come up first in my writing but I only remembered to take this picture a few minutes and include it. The bust dart on this dress is both large and high. I measured it on the pattern piece and could see that it needed to be lower so I did that before I did anything else, just a straightforward shift downward about 3/4″. The bust dart is kind of larger than it would be had there been other darts (vertical waist darts) or other shaping. Trying it on it made the dart a bit too pointy – not my favorite look. So I reduced the width of the dart.
On the tracing paper on the left you can see the faint outline of the original dart, too high. The second placement, lower but too big, and then the final version in the purple dotted line, just right. I sound like Goldilocks don't I but if you're going to do adjustments you might as well go all the way until you like the fit.
Back and side view, you can barely see the dart but that is the ideal, at least for me. Since the side seams were not even in length I split the difference at the top of the seam at the armhole and sliced off about 3/8″ off the side back at that point. Worked out fine.
So that's chapter one on my summer shift dress extravaganza. I have some more complex things in line for my sewing table but not sure what order I will sew them.
Here's the link to that Craftsy post: The Complete Beginners Guide to Sewing a Dress.
Update on classes at Hello Stitch Studio on Berkeley. The Fit Lab was great – we are going to schedule this class again soon. In July we are repeating Saturday classes for sewing Skirts, Tunic Tops, and a new on starting on Wed 7/26 in the evening is a Button-front shirt class. All these classes are two sessions scheduled a week apart so not a long term time commitment and you will get a project done (or nearly) and learn some new and useful techniques. The Dress class is an all-day one on Sun. 7/30. FYI: I've found parking to be surprisingly easy around the studio and it is no more than a 10 minute walk from the Berkeley Bart station so really convenient to get to.
This was yesterday afternoon. Survival mode with an iced coffee. thankfully lots cooler today (ha ha only mid 90's˚F).
Happy weekend sewing,
today's garden photo, this white daisy just looks so calm and cool, even in this heat!read more

Quick GuidePlastic Surgery: Before and After Photos of Cosmetic Surgeries
What happens the day of Rhinoplasty Surgery?
It is important to check in with the surgical facility on time. Bring all papers and forms including any preoperative orders and history sheets. Wear comfortable loose fitting clothes that do not have to be pulled over the head. Leave all jewelry and valuables at home. Remove all make-up with a cleansing cream. Thoroughly wash the face with soap and water and do not apply make-up or creams.
Do not take any medication unless instructed to do so. Usually a nurse will start an intravenous infusion line (IV) in the pre-operative holding room and a medication may be given for relaxation.
What happens during rhinoplasty surgery?
In the operating room, the anesthesiologist will usually use a mixture of a gas and an intravenous medication. Continuous monitoring during the procedure usually includes a pulse oximeter (oxygen saturation) and EKG (cardiac rhythm). The surgical team is prepared for any emergency. In addition to the surgeon and the anesthesiologist, there will be a nurse and a surgical technician in the room. Depending on what is required and what additional procedures are performed, the surgery may take one to several hours. The surgeon normally talks with any family or friends once the patient is safely in the recovery room.
What happens after rhinoplasty surgery?
Patients are monitored after surgery in the recovery room by a nurse. A patient is able to go home the same day as the surgery once fully recovered from the anesthetic. This usually takes several hours. Transportation home will need to be arranged. A responsible adult should be in the same residence overnight for help on short notice.
At home the patient should have bed rest with the head elevated on 2-3 pillows. Edema and swelling are minimized by keeping the head elevated above the heart. An assistant should be available for out of bed excursions to the bathroom. Straining should be avoided. If constipated, take a stool softener or a gentle laxative.
Swelling and bruising of the nose, upper lip, cheeks, or around the eyes for several days after surgery is a normal occurrence. This will gradually go away over the next 7 to 10 days. Ice on the face, bridge of the nose, and eyes as much as tolerated will help to minimize these problems. This will also help with postoperative edema and pain. Some patients have found frozen vegetables in packages (for example, bags of frozen peas) to be a convenient ice pack which conforms to the face.
A nasal splint or cast will cover the outside of the nose, and will usually be removed one week following surgery. As swelling subsides, the splint tends to fit less tightly. If the cast gets wet it may come off prematurely; this is usually not a problem and does not affect the outcome of the procedure.
Moderate bleeding from the nose is normal, and will gradually decrease. The gauze dressing ("mustache dressing") will collect blood and should be changed only when saturated. It is not unusual to change these dressing every hour during the first 24 hours after surgery. This dressing will usually not be needed after a few days. Do not take aspirin, aspirin-containing medications, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (such as Advil) for 3 weeks following surgery.
It is best to eat a light, soft, and cool diet as tolerated after recovery from the anesthetic. Avoid hot liquids for several days. It is best to go slowly with food immediately after the procedure to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting. Patients occasionally vomit one or two times immediately after surgery; if it persists, medication to settle the stomach may be prescribed. It is important to remember that a good overall diet with ample rest promotes healing.
Antibiotics are prescribed after surgery. It is important to finish all the pills that have been ordered. Some form of a narcotic will also be prescribed (usually vicodin) which is to be taken as needed. If narcotics are taken, it is important not to drive or engage in activities where impaired judgment could cause injury. In some situations steroids may be prescribed to be taken either preoperatively and/or postoperatively. It is very important to take this medication as prescribed, and not discontinue it prematurely. An anti-emesis medication such as phenergan may be prescribed for nausea or vomiting postoperatively. Possible drug reactions to any of these medications, such as a rash, should be reported to the doctor as soon as noticed. No other medications, either prescribed or over-the- counter, should be taken without the knowledge of your doctor.

If you did not select your preferred Username and Password when you were inputting the credit card info then you need to send them to email@example.com to prevent a delay as your charting account cannot be setup without these. These should be 14 characters or less. Choose a Username and Password that you will remember!
The confirmation email will include your Username and Password. NOTE: You use the same Username and Password for charts, the Info Center, and your website access! Make note of this somewhere in your records in case you forget it or have to reinstall our software. Doing so will save you time in the long run!
Step 1) Download the full set of charts from the link below
Step 2) Download the Info Center Widget - ACCESS TO THE LIVE ROOMS* IF you chose that option!
* even if you did not chose the live room access you still want the Info Center for it's ease of moving you through videos, finding the Fundies and getting the trade idea alerts to your cell phone and /or Email!
We will activate your ability to install the charts on two computers as well as the ability to add additional currency charts behind the scenes.
IF you do NOT have a set of demo charts then you can use the link below.
Note: you may need to disable your firewall and/or antivirus programs.
If you have any problems with the download, use the Tech Support page (under software in the navigation above) to contact tech support for assistance.
A one stop desktop widget which includes the following access points. The icon resides on your desktop for instant, one-click access to the listed items, 24/7/365.
This tool is available to you only after your account is established with us as noted above.
NOTE: You must close the Info Center down and restart it each day to get the latest login information and check for updates often! We recommend you always log out immediately before joining any training session to reset the password to the most current one. Without doing this step you may get an "access denied" message?

Step 3: Watch the video below to learn how to best use the Info Center Widget:
The Info Center Widget can send you both cell phone and email notifications of alerts we send out. Please note: You are responsible for getting this set up properly. For email notifications, you will need to contact your ISP directly as each of them has a different protocol. You will need to get the following information from them for the Info Center Widget: 1) SMTP server name and port; and 2) your personal email address in their system, used to send emails via their SMTP server. If you have a Gmail account the SMTP server and port are (smtp.gmail,com port 587). There is an alternative that is very affordable that is quite simple to use as well. The name is smtp2go.com. They are running a special right now that is $1.99 per month. This enables you to send 50 emails per day which is be more than sufficient for the Info Center alerts. That would simplify the setup for sure. For cell phone SMS text alert notifications, you will need to get the format for your cell phone number from your provider. This is an example of what I am talking about: email@example.com That is the setting for Verizon. The @vtext.com is the formatted information you need from your cell phone service provider. Each provider has a different setting but they are readily able to give that information to you..
Please remember that these are only "Chart Alerts"! They are NOT trade calls! They are sent out from 3 to 12 hours before the market moves. ALWAYS check the time they were sent not when you received them! Alerts are sent via software and there can be unpredicatable delays as a result. SMS Messaging can be extremely low in getting to you, so be aware. SMS alerts also have character limitations, thus you will want to verify you have received the entire alert message. This can be done by going directly to the IC on your computer and viewing the past alerts posted there. Also check the special notes on the alerts such as Wait for the BH&G ( break, hook and go) for further information

To their credit, Shelby American has kept pace the past few years, introducing an 800-horsepower Super Snake and the almighty Shelby 1000. The latest Super Snake model takes things another step further, offering up an incredible 850 horsepower. If that's too much to handle, customers can opt out of the supercharger upgrade and stick with the factory 662 ponies.
Of course, there's more to the Super Snake than just raw horsepower. The post-title package includes items like upgraded front and rear brakes, Borla exhaust, sport suspension, Shelby-designed 20-inch wheels and a beefier cooling package. There's also the signature stripes, fiberglass hood and an optional widebody kit that allows for wider wheels and tires.
In total the Super Snake package will lighten your wallet by $28,995, not including the base GT500, or $39,995 if you opt for the 850 horsepower version.
Scroll down below to read the official details from Shelby.
"When Ford launched the 2013 Shelby GT500, we were bombarded with requests for Shelby American to offer a Super Snake package for the car," said John Luft, president of Shelby American. "Our team worked closely with Ford Racing and other key partners to develop our new fire breathing snake. The result is the most powerful base model Super Snake ever at 662 horsepower, which is available at prices lower than previous models. By checking off a few boxes in the series of optional equipment, you can take home a street-legal 850 horsepower version that runs on pump gas."
For the 2013 model year, Shelby American takes the stock Ford GT500 and kicks it up to the next performance level with new options and styling changes. Customers can choose between Satin Black or Gloss White stripes to be paired with new wheels in Satin Black or Bright Silver Metallic, along with new silver and blue stripes paired with limited base vehicle colors. Offered for the first time in Shelby American's history will be a choice of rear-only or front and rear "wide body" packages with an optional 14 inch rear wheel and tire package, as seen on the Carroll Shelby Tribute car developed by Ford and Shelby American that was unveiled in Monterey.
The 2013 Shelby GT500 Super Snake will make an appearance at the upcoming Barrett-Jackson collector car auction in Las Vegas, September 27 – 29.
"The Shelby GT500 Super Snake has been the big dog of the Shelby American lineup," added Shelby American Vice President of Production Gary Davis. "With Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 having 662 hp right out of the box, along with our new wide body putting 14 inches of rubber on the ground, this car will be a game changer when it comes to power to the pavement performance."
The Shelby GT500 Super Snake is a post-title program based on the Ford Shelby GT500. The 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake post title package includes:
• Standard base tune is 662 HP and 631 ft./lbs. of torque
• 6-speed manual transmission with 3.31:1 rear axle ratio and short-throw shifter with optional 3.73:1
• Upgraded suspension package
• Shelby Performance cooling package with a new radiator, heat exchanger and aluminum cooling tanks
• New spoked Shelby-designed 20-inch wheels and performance tires
• Shelby / Borla exhaust system
• Optional Shelby / Ford Racing 850 hp Whipple supercharger or 850 hp Kenne Bell supercharger
• Forged Shelby / Wildwood brakes with 6 piston fronts and 4 piston rear calipers and cross drilled / vented rotors
• Front brake cooling ducts and behind the door side scoops
• Unique fiberglass hood featuring classic Shelby Super Snake design
• Shelby signature Super Snake stripes in either satin black, gloss white, silver or blue
• "Super Snake" vehicle badges, and unique CSM number interior and engine plates
• "Shelby" lettering across the rear deck lid
• Optional two tone leather interior
• Shelby signature embroidered headrests, floor mats and other Shelby designed components
The 2013 Shelby GT500 Super Snake post-title package starts at $28,995.00 for the 662 HP version and $39,995.00 for the 850 HP model, not including the base car. Only 500 of these cars will be built, all at the Shelby American factory in Las Vegas. Customers can build their dream Shelby Super Snake online with the "Build-One" program at http://shelbyamerican.com/buildhome.asp. Those interested in a car can also contact the Shelby American sales department at (702) 942-7325 or go to www.shelbyamerican.com.

Jeb Bush set to speak tomorrow in Indian Wells
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will speak to a sellout crowd in Indian Wells tomorrow.
The son of former President George H.W. Bush and younger brother of former President George W. Bush served two terms as Florida governor from 1999 to 2007 and appears to be mulling a 2016 White House bid.
He drew headlines for saying in his new book, "Immigration Wars," that he opposes granting illegal immigrants U.S. citizenship. During the 2012 presidential election, he said illegal immigrants should be given a shot at citizenship and legal residency.
Bush canceled appearances today in Washington, D.C., because of a major snowstorm, but plans to travel from Florida to the Coachella Valley for tomorrow's 6 p.m. speech at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, according to Desert Town Hall's interim executive director, Becky Kurtz.

Getting to the Branch
The Seattle Public Library Foundation has received thousands of generous contributions to the "Campaign for Seattle's Public Libraries." In recognition of their gifts of $50,000 and above, we are pleased to honor the following supporters with named physical spaces in the Northeast Branch of The Seattle Public Library.
Jodi Green and Mike Halperin love words and books, and are committed to a lifelong pursuit of learning. Along with their two children, they are library groupies who love to visit libraries wherever their travels lead them. Green and Halperin take pleasure in belonging to The Seattle Public Library system because it is a free community resource that welcomes everyone with open arms and offers a quiet place for the pursuit of knowledge. They love the words of Andrew Carnegie posted in the Central Library at the entrance to the administrative offices on Level 11: "There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration."

Hello everyone!
I use Maya version 2009 x64 with the latest bonus tools and bug fixes etc. etc. for that version of Maya.
I have recently run in to some problems with Maya muscle. Everything works fine with scaling except for sliding.
I get weird deformations, lack of influence on the skin from the sliding objects, and popping vertices. I use basic capsules as sliding objects in this particular case.
Do anyone know how to set up the scale without breaking the sliding effects? I have tried different hierarchy positions, have read through the Maya documentary, tried a lot of different ways of scaling (clusters, different attributes, user scale on the muscle system etc.) and have searched through google without any luck in finding a solution to this problem.
Help would be much appreciated!

Target: President Barack Obama
Goal: Reduce overpopulation and preserve our environment by ending tax incentives for having more than two children.
Choosing how many children to have is a personal choice, and one that many parents have thought about since their own childhood. However, with a global population of over 7 billion people, an American population of more than 315 million, and a national debt that is threatening to create economic collapse, it is time that the government stops providing tax breaks for having children after the first two, which is enough to sustain the current population without increasing it. Right now, the government provides tax credits for each child born without consideration for the limited resources in our environment and the impact that this policy has on the national debt. While the federal government has no say in how many children a family can or should have, it can stop creating monetary incentives for having more than two biological children.
Since time immemorial, having a large family has been advantageous for a number of reasons. Children were needed to help with farming or around the home, to increase the national or tribal populations, to provide additional income for needy families, and to provide fulfillment and love in family units. With high mortality rates for children until the creation of modern medicine, it made sense to have as many children as possible. However, since the early twentieth century, tax incentives have been another economic advantage of having children. The federal government wanted to encourage having large families after the devastating population losses from WWI and WWII. Most parents today receive a $1000-$3500 credit on their federal tax returns for each child that they claim as a dependent.
The impact on our environment from having such a massive population has been tremendous. Oil reserves, precious minerals, and natural habitats are all at risk of being depleted within the next few generations. Without making a change, our children and grandchildren might not have these resources available to them. Creating a dialogue about global population is necessary in this day and age, and it is a conversation many people do not want to have because they feel that family size is a personal choice that does not impact the world. However, in truth, an American is born every eight seconds while one dies every twelve seconds. When one accounts for American immigrant population increases as well, there is an additional person added to the U.S. population every 17 seconds. While other countries have even more unsustainable population growth than the United States, the U.S. should be setting a precedent for global change.
Considering that the national debt is over $16 trillion, we need to consider ending tax breaks in addition to reforming spending policies in our nation. One way to start reducing our national debt is stop providing tax credits for having more than two children. Please ask the president to protect our environment and reduce our national debt by ending tax incentives for children after the first two.
Dear Mr. President, Barack Obama,
Our global population is now exceeding 7 billion people, 315 million of whom are Americans. With an American child born every eight seconds, and when immigrants admitted into the country are considered as well, there is a net growth in the American population of one person every 17 seconds. This population is unsustainable, and in the generations to come, many of our oil reserves, minerals, and natural habitats will be entirely depleted by our current consumer habits. The United States currently provides tax credits for every child born in the United States, a policy which has contributed to our national debt and has incentivized having a large family. While the government has no say in how many children a family can or should have, it is time to stop providing tax breaks for having more than two biological children per family.
Since the early twentieth century, tax incentives have been provided for having children to encourage population growth after the devastation of the World Wars. These policies are no longer necessary to ensure a stable American population. Rather than incentivizing having innumerable children, the federal government should only provide tax breaks to the first two biological children per family, which is enough to sustain the current population without increasing it. While families can continue to decide how many children to have, they will not receive tax credits for more than two children (not including adopted children).
As you know, our current national debt is threatening to cause economic collapse and measures need to be taken to reduce spending and end certain tax breaks. Ending tax breaks for dependents exceeding the first two would help reduce the national debt in addition to preserving the environment and limited resources on this Earth. While many other countries have catastrophic population growth compared to the United States, the U.S. can set a precedent for global change. Please consider ending tax incentives for more than two children per family in the United States.

Travel Postcard: 48 hours in Milton Keynes, England
By Dan Lalor
MILTON KEYNES (Reuters) - Britain is looking for up to 100 apprentice spies to emulate staff at Bletchley Park, the former code-breaking centre that was once the most secret place in Britain.
Bletchley is now a suburb of Milton Keynes, a compact young city an hour's drive northwest of London best known for the number of roundabouts on its grid road system and where - if you believe national media - life is the epitome of suburban tedium.
However, nowhere in Milton Keynes is more than a 10-minute drive from centuries-old villages with soaring church spires set in a gently rolling landscape that is still home to "spooks" in secluded settings down quiet country lanes.
Reuters correspondents help you make the most of your time in a surprisingly interesting place.
6 p.m. - Visit Xscape, one of Europe's largest indoor ski slopes, for a quick refresher on your skiing or snowboarding skills ahead of the winter season.
7:30 p.m. - Theatre - Catch a production on a national tour.
Step outside afterwards into the Theatre District and find a bar for a late supper or a nightcap. Or perhaps travel a short distance to The Jaipur, an Indian restaurant on a grand scale. Continued...

Choose from Three Options
- $15 for admission for two (up to a $30 value)
- $20 for a one-year individual membership (a $40 value)
- $40 for a one-year family membership (a $80 value)

Membership benefits include invitations to programs and events, a coupon for a Hall of Murals poster, and reciprocal free or reduced admission to more than 200 science centers and museums around the world.
International Museum of Surgical Science
When the International Museum of Surgical Science first opened on September 9, 1954, one of its first exhibits—the Hall of Immortals—displayed 12 stone statues of prominent figures in the fields of medicine and allied sciences. Though the museum's four floors of exhibits have vastly expanded since its inception, the non-profit's still stands for the very thing the Hall of Immortals celebrated: surgical advancements from around the world. The museum—located at a City of Chicago Landmark historic building—traces that evolution with a collection of more than 7,000 century-spanning artifacts, including prehistoric Peruvian trephined skulls, artificial limbs from the 19th-century, a working iron lung, and original X-rays taken by radiology pioneer Emil Grubbé.
Along with tools of the medical trade, the museum showcases more than 600 paintings and sculptures that depict specific procedures and events. The Anatomy in the Gallery exhibition houses medically themed contemporary art, commissioned oil paintings, and the original plaster casts of Napoleon's death mask and the expired Twinkies that slowly poisoned him.

Is The GourmetPot Charcoal Ceramic Grill--A Good Fit For You on Summer BBQ?
If you love to grill, you've more than likely seen the GourmetPot . It's a ceramic barbeque grill which can be used as a bbq grill, smoker and also an outdoor oven. It's so adaptable you'll be able to make anything from hamburgers and steaks and other traditional bbq grill foods to desserts, bread and also pizza.
Probably the largest distinction is the overall look of the grill. GourmetPot Charcoal Ceramic grill is well, firm and shaped like a big egg. The egg shape appeared to be created (on purpose) to provide the power to help you control and maintain the heat in the bbq grill a lot better than other grills.
The second biggest distinction is the material the grill is made of. Instead of being made with metal, the GourmetPot has thick ceramic walls. Ceramic is noticeably more sturdy in comparison with other materials, which means the GourmetPot will last longer than other grills and smokers, it can be used all year (even with freezing temperatures). It is also less dangerous than other grills, particularly when there are children running around, since the ceramic exterior stays cooler than regular metal barbecue grills plus you always cook with the lid down, so you won't have to be concerned with flare-ups.
Now, the does have a few negatives in comparison with other grills. For instance, it isn't an inexpensive grill. You can expect to spend approximately $559 to get a large Charcoal Ceramic grill. In addition, you have to use lump wood charcoal, which isn't always readily available and is usually a bit more expensive than traditional charcoal briquettes. The GourmetPot also has a smaller grilling surface area when compared with many gas grills, which means you'll want a back-up grill if you're entertaining a number of people.
Having said that, the overall flexibility of the GourmetPot, the ability to grill or smoke as well as the amazing results you get (the GourmetPot is very forgiving, even for newbie cooks) are worthy of the price tag. If you're a barbeque lover and you also do a lot of smoking in addition to grilling you will really enjoy the quality and the results you will get when cooking on the GourmetPot.

A brand new primary school could be built in Hackbridge, according to plans being drawn up by the council.
A site on land North of the BedZed development in London Road has been identified as being potentially suitable for a new primary school to ease the current pressure on school places.
The site north of the BedZed development where the new school could be built
A Sutton Council spokesman said the council is investigating a number of sites but refused to confirm whether the Hackbridge site is one of them.
That is despite ward councillors and neighbours getting a briefing on the project from council executive head of planning and commissioning Sharman Lawson at a recent St Helier, The Wrythe and Wandle Valley local committee meeting.
The project has the backing of Hackbridge Councillor Paddy Kane who said it would provide the growing population of the area with schooling as well as replacing the Spencer Nursery School in Spencer Road, which he compared to a "shack".
It is understood the council is exploring the possibility of building a school and nursery on the site to cope with a growing need in school places, which is acute in Hackbridge because of a population increase from new housing developments like BedZed.
The council plans to create an extra 3,800 primary school places across the borough by 2015.
Coun Kane said: "I would absolutely back a new primary school and nursery in the area. All these nice houses are built in the area so I will never accept that, while children in other parts of the borough can quite rightly enjoy 21st century buildings for school purposes, kids in Hackbridge still have to make do with a 70-year-old pre-fab shack.
"If this goes ahead the only loser would be the Spencer Nursery but that is a building that was put up during the war and was designed to be torn down afterwards.
"It really should have been replaced long ago."
Sutton is to get Government funding of just over £42m to use on finding places for an estimated 3,000 pupils who may not have a school by 2016.
A council spokesman said: "Sutton Council is currently looking at a number of potential sites throughout the borough for a new primary school.
"This process is still underway and no site has yet been confirmed as suitable.
"As soon as initial enquiries are complete and a suitable site is identified, there will be consultation with local residents and they will be kept informed of any developments."

Will I love it as much when it's finished? I'm talking about the 1854 L.P. Grant Mansion, home of the Atlanta Preservation Center.
It was a ruin in 2001. There were no ceilings, no floors. But oh the walls - patina is an inadequate a word for them.
You should see for yourself on Saturday March 24 from 2-5pm for a couple of Phoenix Flies events.
May I show you a few pictures from the Grant Mansion's first art show on March 14?
WonderRoot partnered with Atlanta Preservation Center on the exhibit, "The Future is Behind Us."
I arrived about dusk. It's only a rancher so far, it's got some growing to do.
The walls are about all that's left from the original structure. but what walls.
The porch is grand and makes me feel grand.
I rushed straight though the house to see the new back porch. Folks were so comfortable back there.
I peeked from the porch into the parlor and found the party amid the patina. (I'm going to get into big trouble for this sentence.)

It was time to go home.
I'll see you there on Saturday, OK?

I don't remember the name of it. It was prescribed when the scald was very bad. Was supposed to be used for 10 days...I don't think she has a urinary tract problem yet, but in the past she will develop one if I don't get this healed soon. So far I haven't seen diarrhea problems.
9 years ago she fractured the ball of her hip and they said she would develop a cyst that would function like the ball of the hip. I noticed that her urine stream seemed to have changed after that. She was fine for a long time and then became very overweight. She has lost weight, but this flares up every now and then.

boot loader (boot manager)
A boot loader, also called a boot manager, is a small program that places the operating system (OS) of a computer into memory. When a computer is powered-up or restarted, the basic input/output system (BIOS) performs some initial tests, and then transfers control to the master boot record (MBR) where the boot loader resides. Most new computers are shipped with boot loaders for some version of Microsoft Windows or the Mac OS. If a computer is to be used with Linux, a special boot loader must be installed.

For Linux, the two most common boot loaders are known as LILO (LInux LOader) and LOADLIN (LOAD LINux). An alternative boot loader, called GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader), is used with Red Hat Linux. LILO is the most popular boot loader among computer users that employ Linux as the main, or only, operating system. The primary advantage of LILO is the fact that it allows for fast boot-up. LOADLIN is preferred by some users whose computers have multiple operating systems, and who spend relatively little time in Linux. LOADLIN is sometimes used as a backup boot loader for Linux in case LILO fails. GRUB is preferred by many users of Red Hat Linux, because it is the default boot loader for that distribution.

YouTube videos that appeal to pre-adolescents can be a stroke of genius, and perhaps no one knows that better than South Korean singer Psy.
Already credited with the most viral video on YouTube ever, Psy this weekend posted to the video-sharing platform the sequel to "Gangnam Style," an entertainment phenomenon that has registered more than 1.5 billion views.
The new video for his song called "Gentleman M/V" already has received millions of views.
If you're 13, you'll love the way Psy pulls chairs out from behind beautiful women so they fall down. Other naughty things he does include cranking up a treadmill so a women falls off it, swatting the coffee cup of another lady so that she spills her drink on herself and pressing all the buttons in an elevator to delay a guy who looks like he needs to use a restroom.
And then there's Psy's iconic sideways pelvic thrust, which shows up again throughout Gentleman M/V with entire companies of dancers joining in concert. There's just something so random about throwing this move out there as a side note to his other moves.
More proof that stupid is king when it comes to video views: A video posted last week titled "How Animals Eat Their Food" has nearly 29 million views.
Seriously? These guys are drinking from sippy cups and one guy does things like moo and smash his own head onto his plate. Again, hilarious if your brain isn't quite fully developed.
But crude can be clever, too.
Kmart's gone viral with a video called "Ship My Pants," which is a risqué play on words, considering it's coming from a big brand.
Check it out.
If these videos make you lament the state of the world's shared intellect, take heart.
According to Unruly Media, a U.K.-based firm that's expert in getting branded video to go viral, stupid videos aren't the only ones people like. Viewers also enjoy watching and sharing videos that can be described as cute, random, unbelievable, controversial, illuminating as well as those that elicit intense emotions.
This story, "YouTube videos play up the crude to appeal to youths" was originally published by PCWorld.

Panmure Gordon today pinned its hopes on a sustained recovery in London's IPO markets.
The 137-year-old City broker said it expects to benefit as a growing number of companies consider listing their shares, particularly on the junior market AIM, where the company does a lot of its business.
Phillip Wale, chief executive, said the market would be boosted by the Chancellor's decision to stop charging stamp duty on share trading in AIM. He added: "We're great believers in the junior market and are encouraged by the signs we have seen so far in 2013."
The group narrowed its losses to £3.5 million compared with a £31.5 million shortfall in 2011. It will not be paying a dividend.

Director Mike Judge Talks About Extract!
Reported by Kristen - 2009.12.13
Director Mike Judge is rare in Hollywood as he tells hilarious stories that arise from mundane situations. The cult classic Office Space and his animated work on television shows like Beavis and Butthead, and King of the Hill focus on everyday people and the hilarious situations that come from everyday life. His newest endeavor is the Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck comedy Extract, coming to DVD December 22nd. In a recent interview Judge talks about where he gets his stories from, the amazing cast amassed for his latest, and his possible future projects.
Extract tells the story of the residents working in an extract plant and the mild-mannered boss Joel (Jason Bateman) who runs it. While Joel may have a successful job he deals with a string of personal problems including his possibly unfaithful wife (Kristin Wiig), a stoner best friend (Ben Affleck) and a pretty young temp (Mila Kunis) who might just turn his world around.
Judge has always felt the need to tell stories about blue collar workers and the lives they lead. When asked where this comes from he discusses how major Hollywood movies don't even take the time to show people at their place of employment, they seem to have endless cash and free time with very little information about how they got it. Judge goes on to say, I've worked these kinds of jobs, and I remember feeling like Hollywood was sometimes out of touch with us, and always appreciating it when it felt like a movie or TV show got something right -- like there was someone out there in Hollywood who understood what most of us go through. It's a subtle blend of finding the humor while still having some dignity that is the main thrust for his storytelling, a process he hopes is developed naturally in his writing. Overall his stories come from a place everyone can relate to, Sit[ting] around with my friends telling stories about people I work with and doing imitations of them. So then how many of the brilliant characters Judge has crafted are based on real people? The director says no one is specifically based on anyone in his personal life, but that most writers base characters on people they have known. An example is the character of Nathan, the annoying neighbor played by David Koechner in Extract. Again the character isn't a specific person but does have traits a chatty neighbor of Judge's used to have. This leads into the particular locations his stories are set in, usually suburban areas near big towns, a situation Judge is familiar with as he's lived in many such locations. In talking about setting the director says, I think that a lot of writers in film and TV in the past have tended to come from NY or big east-coast cities, and there have also been great stuff written about really small hick towns, and so I feel like I can maybe bring a different perspective on things with a suburban setting.
Unlike his previous work on Office Space, a film that had a boss totally out of the loop with his employees. Bateman's character Joel is a boss with a heart, something that Judge could relate to when it came to his job saying I enjoy directing movies, making animated TV shows, and in order to do that, you sometimes have to tell people to do things they don't want to do, or make choices that people don't agree with. And I really don't enjoy telling people to do things they don't want to do, but it goes with the territory. Judge mentions certain employers who get some kind of weird pleasure out of making people do things for the sake of making them do things. They get off on the power of it all. That's not the character of Joel who Judge describes as a boss who genuinely likes making extract. The idea of an employer whose decisions come from the heart is an employer the direction can endorse and does so with this film. This movie can also boast that it was filmed in a real bottling plant, something to look for when you watch the DVD. Judge says to notice, A lot of the background that you see in the movie is actually real people working -- not extras.
The bottling plant may have been populated with real workers, but what about the diverse cast Judge amassed for Extract? The director says the chemistry between the group was instant and gelled nicely due to everyone knowing each other through past projects and the like. Actor Jason Bateman, who plays the extract boss Joel, came to mind after his appearance on Judge's animated series King of Hill. Along with his phenomenal work on Arrested Development, Judge rewrote and finished the script for Extract with the actor in mind. He says, t's a similar character to what he did in AD, but I think Joel is a little less slick or something. One of Bateman's memorable scenes in Extract, and one seen in the previews, is his first attempts at taking a bong hit. Judge says to look for a deleted scene on the DVD Blu-Ray that comes after that moment saying, It's a scene I loved, but somehow didn't fit where it was in the movie. Hollywood star Ben Affleck is also in the movie, playing a supporting role as Joel's friend Dean. Judge says he was pleasantly surprised that Affleck wanted the part in the movie. He goes on to say, We did a read through of the script early on and I just loved watching him and Jason do these scenes and play off each other. That brings up the question of improvisation used in the film. The director says in the editing room everything tends to line up with what was on the page but If you write good dialogue, it sounds like people spontaneously talking, so audiences think it's improvised, which is a good thing. The director says the majority of the improv used in the movie comes from Affleck's character when it was used at all.
The big question that arises when Judge's future projects are mentioned is a possible sequel to his cult film Office Space. In a sense Judge considers Extract the sequel to that particular movie saying, I based Office Space on my own experiences working in the cubicle world, and I based a lot of this on my experience being a boss and running what was basically an animation factory on Beavis and Butt-Head. The transition between films he says is go[ing] from complaining about the man keeping you down, to becoming the man which is just as difficult a position. While he did, at one time, consider a sequel to his hit movie he says he won't know, taking into account both the US and UK versions of The Office and numerous other cubicle shows as proof there isn't a need for a sequel. Judge was also asked about the possibility of doing another animated film in the vein of Beavis and Butthead or a live action television series. Judge says, I would definitely like to do a live action TV series. I don't know that I would do another feature-length animated film any time soon. Unless maybe it was a CG project. This brings up the question of which format the director prefers. From a directing and writing standpoint Judge says they're the same. Judge enjoys doing animation, more so in the short form category when he was the sole creator. He elaborates saying, Making a film one frame at a time, getting it back from the lab and watching it for the first time. That was about as good as it gets I think. He also talks about the cinematic approach of making an animated series. Judge considers the work on The Simpsons as cinematic in scope, although he says I never got too cinematic with King of the Hill just because of the nature of the show and the characters, not really because it was animated.
Be on the lookout for Extract on DVD and Blu-Ray on December 22nd!

This paper proposes a multi-input single-output (MISO) second-order active-C voltage mode (VM) universal filter using two second-generation current-controlled current conveyors (CCCIIs) and two equal-valued capacitors. The proposed circuit realizes low pass, band pass, high pass, all pass, and notch responses from the same topology. The filter uses-minimum number of passive components and no resistor which is suitable for IC Design. The filter enjoys low-sensitivity performance and exhibits electronic and orthogonal tunability of pole frequency () and quality factor () via bias current of CCCIIs. PSPICE simulation results confirm the theory.

The following article was first published in the Oxford Junior Encyclopaedia (1957) and is a sound introduction to the various different railway systems around the world at the time.
* * *
IN most countries the pattern of railway lines is determined by the geography (mountains, rivers, and coastal shape), and also reveals the country's industrial and political history. Railways in Britain are strongly centred on London, which was the hub of finance and industrial enterprise when most of the main lines were projected in the 1830s and 1840s. The routes link up seaports, coalfields, and big industrial cities.
French railways radiate from Paris like the spokes of a wheel, but their biggest network of lines is in the industrial north and east. Belgium, on a railway map, looks like a mere continuation of France, for there are no geographical or political barriers between the two countries, and the French lines seem to run straight through Belgium. Many lines from both Paris and Berlin run straight to the frontier-between France and Germany; ever since the war of 1870 governments of both countries have encouraged these strategic railways, to carry troops in the event of war. One of the queerest railway patterns in Europe is formed by the two main lines that run along the banks of the River Rhine, sometimes within sight of one another, for a distance of more than 1oo miles. This deep and wide river, carrying much small shipping, has few bridges. The big cities of Germany are spread so widely over the country that its railway system is based on several regional capitals. The main lines of Czechoslovakia and Western Poland still show the railway pattern that was laid down when they were part of the German and Austrian Empires up till 1918. They are, therefore, centred on Berlin and Vienna.
The main lines of north Italy, joining industrial cities and receiving hydro-electric power from the Alps, are well developed. Few railways cross the mountain backbone of central Italy, and southern Italy has few industries.
Swiss railways are notable for the bold engineering which has run main-line express routes through long mountain tunnels, and for the ingenious methods devised for steep climbing by mountain railways. The record railway height in Europe is reached by the Jungfrau railway, one station being 11,465 feet above sea-level. This line has a gauge of 1 metre (3 ft. 3 in.), and climbs continuous gradients of 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 by the rack-and-pinion method. The highest through-route in Switzerland is the metre-gauge Bernina line, which rises to 7,400 feet; it climbs a gradient of 1 in 14 by the grip of ordinary wheels on plain rails.
Of the total mileage of the railways of the world, nearly one-third – 227,244 miles – is in the U.S.A. The American lines are all privately owned by separate companies. In the Eastern States the largest railways are the New York Central (11,000 miles) and the Pennsylvania Railroad (10,000 miles). Both connect New York with Chicago, the chief railway centre of the U.S.A. Following the race between two companies in the 1860s to link the Atlantic and Pacific coasts by rail several lines were laid across the Rocky Mountains. One railway, the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fé, running between Chicago and Los Angeles, climbs the 7,600-foot Raton Pass across the Rockies. Another line rises to 9,ooo feet to run through the Moffat tunnel. Although the less mountainous central and eastern States have a thick network of lines, thousands of square miles of the Western States are far from a railway.
Canada has one of the biggest individual railways in the world, the Canadian National Railways, with 23,500 miles of line. The other main Canadian organization, the Canadian Pacific, not only runs 20,9oo miles of line but also a fleet of ocean-going steamers with regular trading routes encircling the world. Both railways run across the whole width of the North American continent, one main line being 3,770 miles long and the other 3,360 miles. At Kicking Horse Pass in the Rocky Mountains, one line rises to 5,300 feet above sea-level.
All the greatest heights that have been reached by railways are in South America, in the Andes mountains. The mineral wealth of the mountains has encouraged the building of many railways from the Pacific coast up to the highlands of Peru, Chile, and Bolivia. The most notable line is the Central, of Peru, which runs from Callao, the port of Lima. In one stretch of over 100 miles this railway zigzags up steep valleys on a continuous gradient of 1 in 25 and using twenty-one reversing stations; these are points at which a train, having no room to turn at the end of one climb, backs towards the next stage of its climb (see picture). This railway rises to a height of 15,806 feet above sea-level, having passed through a tunnel at 15,694 feet. Oxygen is carried for passengers who suffer from 'mountain sickness', or faintness caused by the thin air at a high altitude. Another railway in Peru takes passengers 12,500 feet up to Lake Titicaca. One railway, starting from Antofagasta in Chile, rises to 12,000 feet and does not drop below that level for 500 miles. A branch of this line attains at Montt the world's record railway altitude of 15,817 feet – all but level with the summit of Mont Blanc. These railways, except for the Central of Peru, are all of 1-metre gauge. The Trans-Andine Railway, linking Argentine with Chile, had to use rack-and-pinion climbing methods on steep gradients of 1 in 124.
One of the most remarkable railway systems in the world is the Trans-Siberian Railway, which runs right across the U.S.S.R. in Asia. It is physically possible to travel by railway from Britain to China, with very few changes of train on the way, by taking the railway ferry from England to France and a Trans-Siberian train for the longest stage. Even if there were no political hindrances to free travel, a change of train would still have to be made at the western frontier of Russia, for the Russian track gauge is 3½ inches wider than the European standard of 4 ft. 8½ in. From Moscow to the end of the railway, Vladivostok on the Pacific, is a journey of nearly 6,000 miles, taking 9 days in normal conditions, and forming the longest journey in the world that can be made without a change of train. From one point on the line a train runs through Manchuria, connecting with a Chinese railway to Peking and other cities in the heart of China. Where the Trans-Siberian Railway reaches Lake Baykal in the mountains of central Asia, the engineers who built the line could not take it across the lake, which is 30 miles wide at its narrowest. For some years the trains were carried across the lake in ferries during the summer months; in winter the ice on the lake was thick enough to bear the weight of trains running on a railway track laid over it. Later, however, the two ends of the line were linked up by a permanent track laid round the shore of the lake.
Australia's greatest railway problem is that of gauges, as various States have gauges of 5 ft. 3 in., 4 ft. 8½ in., and 3 ft. 6 in. Australia has the longest stretch of perfectly straight line in the world – 328 miles across the Nullarbor Plain, an uninhabited wilderness withont a single tree. Yet within a few hours' journey the passenger finds himself in Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, which claims to be the busiest in the world, handling over 300,ooo passengers daily. The biggest steel-arch railway bridge in the world is Sydney Harbour Bridge
The thirteen main-line railways of India and Pakistan are owned by their governments. Roughly half their mileage is the broad 5 ft. 6 in. gauge, while other railways are 1 metre, 2 ft, 6 in., and 2 foot. Famous mountain lines are the rack-and-pinion metre-gauge railway which reaches a height of 7,275 feet in the Nilgiri Hills, and the 2-foot-gauge Darjeeling-Himalaya Railway, rising to 7,407 feet at Ghoom.


text: Evidently you do not remember the scene. You even said you did not remember it in your previous post. To refresh you memory, here are the key elements of dialog from the scene with Brody and the woman whose family has been close to Nazir since 1947. Clearly Nazir wants Brody to steal the encryption keys to the database of potential targets so that Nazir's terrorists can attack one or more of the targets, and Brody realizes this. To those who are confused about what is being stolen, I thought it was fairly clear so I will explain. The Department of Homeland Security has a list of potential targets that terrorists may attack in the US -- DHS Threat Assessment. Presumably this includes things like the value of the potential target, how vulnerable it is, and what sort of security the potential target has in place (or how that security is being increased). Obviously this information would be valuable to terrorists planning to attack US targets. Brody's comments quoted above make it clear that he knows this. Here is the folder that Brody got the keys from:

Architects Erla Dögg Ingjaldsdóttir and Tryggvi Thorsteinsson make modern homes that are famed for letting the inside out and the outside in. And now they bring that mindset to precision building. Superb-A House embodies the spirit of modularity—parts are factory-assembled—yet the home's customizable modules have varied surfaces and textures so that each prefab house can take on its own character.
Superb-A House looks custom, thinks eco, and pushes prefab standards toward better design. It received a merit award in a brand new Builder's Choice category for fulfilling the promise of what modular can be.

So history is bound to repeat for eternity on the part of the pontifical university. For 27 consecutive years since 1980, no other university won the over-all championsip but UST. While they gave UP a chance in 1997(nevertheless, they were second), the winning tradition sparks up again in 1998 and continues to shake the spirits of other universities.
With the finals of the football games nearing to a close with UST on top, there is certainly no hope for the "others" to get the edge. It will be a great finish for the university's hosting of the 63rd season. By the way, would Thomasians care? WE are immune to championships.

You can't buy class. And that's why I am urging Manchester City to stick with Manuel Pellegrini – even if there is no dramatic twist in the race for the Premier League.
A defeat at Liverpool last week – in a contest I rate as the game of the season – has been followed by a home draw with Sunderland.
And, suddenly, the fate of the pre-season title favourites is no longer in their own hands.
But the conduct of Pellegrini at Anfield was an absolute masterclass in dignity.
I am told the City boss waited in the tunnel at the final whistle to shake the hand of every single Liverpool player.
And he had the good grace to give Steven Gerrard a personal message of congratulation on what must have been a bitter-sweet day for the Kop skipper.
Steven lost his young cousin to the tragedy at Hillsborough 25 years ago.
No wonder he was in tears at the end of a game that took him to within touching distance of a championship medal and Liverpool's first title since 1990.
But what a magnanimous gesture it was from Pellegrini to lose with a grace that all of us strive for, but few achieve.
He had seen his team weather an Anfield hurricane to come back from two goals down to draw level.
For a spell, City played like champions – despite being on the wrong end of some dubious refereeing decisions – only for a mistake by Vincent Kompany and a swing of Philippe Coutinho's right boot to settle the game in Liverpool's favour.
Pellegrini must have been devastated.
I remember my Blackpool team losing to a late West Ham goal in the Championship Play-off Final two years ago and the only thing I wanted to do was get away from Wembley as soon as possible.
Somehow, I managed to swallow the desperate disappointment of defeat for a few minutes and was able to congratulate Sam Allardyce and applaud his players as they went up to collect the richest prize in club football.
So, while I was delighted that Brendan Rodgers got the result he wanted, I really felt for Mr Pellegrini.
Of course, City produced an end-of-season miracle two years ago to become champions under Roberto Mancini, so they have beaten incredible odds before.
If they don't do it again, I just hope that Sheikh Mansour recognises there is a fine line between success and failure in top-flight football and that the Chilean is still at the Etihad next season.
The Capital One Cup would indeed be scant reward for a season that promised so much.
And we all remember how Mancini was dispensed with last May after finishing second in both the Premier League and FA Cup.
City's owners demand success, but they also crave respectability – and this is their chance to grasp it.
Sacking Pellegrini would give the impression that City do indeed have a hire-and-fire culture and that Mancini was sacked because of results and not so that a so-called "holistic" approach could be adopted.
Mr Pellegrini has proven himself to be a sportsman in the true sense of the word – and that is the kind of rock-solid reputation on which lasting legacies can be built.
