Paul Scholes exclusive: Why Premier League clubs that buy average foreign players are killing England's World Cup dreams
The former Manchester United and England midfielder believes Premier League clubs need to put more faith in home-grown talent or the international side will struggle on the world stage.
Greg Dyke, the chairman of the Football Association, believes that proposed changes to the league system could help England win the World Cup in 2022.
From what I've seen at this World Cup, we'll be lucky to qualify. I fear England are going the way of the Republic of Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
England can take some positives from the World Cup. Raheem Sterling, Daniel Sturridge and Ross Barkley (even though he didn't start the first two games) are a sign of the future – fast, intelligent footballers.
But otherwise I'm struggling.
Roy Hodgson is a likeable man who's very good with the press. But if this was Fabio Capello he'd be getting pelters.
Costa Rica, Italy and Uruguay are not special teams.
We're probably on the same level. But England have not managed to get in front in any of our World Cup games. When I said go for attacking youth in our team formation I thought we'd at least get one result.
What's the problem? Where do I start…
Compared to La Liga and the Bundesliga, English players are not getting enough first-team time in the Premier League. We're going backwards from 1990 and the era of Paul Gascoigne and that 'conveyor belt of talent'.
Simply, the Premier League is riddled with average foreign players. This is having such a detrimental effect on the first-team opportunities for young English talent, and our international results.
Let's take the example of Jesse Lingard. He's a 21-year-old, Warrington-born Manchester United player who was farmed out on loan to Brighton.
Last season at United, Lingard went on the pre-season tour, scored goals, and looked really sharp. At that time he was a better prospect, in my mind, than Adnan Januzai, but he didn't get the chance.
I'm not questioning the talent of Januzai, but Lingard, if given the opportunity, could have done well in the first team. With his ability, Lingard deserved to challenge Shinji Kagawa for a place.
Cheap shot
Far too often, good English prospects are put out on loan to Championship clubs, or elsewhere, at the expense of very average imports.
The proposed £34m transfer for the 18-year-old Luke Shaw to Manchester United is another example of something which has a bad long-term impact.
Clubs are priced out of this market which is why they go abroad for cheap options – they're not better players. For a left-back to be worth £34m shows how silly the game has gone. For that money I want a centre-forward who's going to score 30 goals a season.
Milking the cash cow
Greg Dyke's comments on England winning the 2022 World Cup followed a four-point plan from the FA with the ambition of improving the future standard of English football. It suggests a ban on non-European Union players outside of the top flight and a reduction in non-homegrown players in Premier League squads.
Players as talented as David Silva, Robin van Persie, Sergio Aguero and Eden Hazard only make the Premier League stronger.
But it seems like the Premier League is known as a market for average players (or their agents) to say:
I know, I'll go to England and they'll pay me stupid money to play.
The Premier League is a cash cow and it's hurting our national game.
Yes, we should limit the amount of foreign players allowed in each Premier League squad. Clubs will then only sign the best, and English talent gets priority for development.
Lower teams might be annoyed – but the best players are only going to go to the top teams anyway.
Identity crisis
As it is, I can't see how we're going to get enough good English footballers into the top teams to get the international results we want.
The FA Commission report from May references the progress of football reforms in Belgium, France and Germany. We can, of course, learn from others, but as I've said previously, England needs to build its own identity.
There's a massive opportunity and the message needs to come from Roy Hodgson through the academies.
Give England its own football identity. Tell the world – this is how we play football. Build a team around our best players, don't change styles every two years based on copying another team that does well. Let's make up our mind and stick with it.

Blooming Abutilon a sight to behold!
Published: Saturday, August 10, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 8, 2013 at 10:35 a.m.
Q: I had a plant that I can't identify in my yard. It has orange flowers that hang down like bells, and leaves that look like maple leaves. It is a bush that is about 6 to 7 feet tall. Do you know what this is?
A: The plant you are describing must be the flowering maple, or an Abutilon. They are not a maple at all, but a close cousin to hibiscus. The evergreen leaves are shaped like a maple, and that resemblance gave the Abutilon its common name. Abutilons grow in USDA hardiness zones 8, 9 and 10, so they will grow well just about anywhere in Florida. They perform best in partial sun in improved, well-drained soil, and are quite drought-tolerant once established. Flowers of Abutilon range from yellow to red/orange, pink and white. The blooms are shaped like a bell or Chinese lantern, and some cultivars have flowers that open like a saucer. Gardeners in North Central Florida have found them quite cold-tolerant into the low 30s, but they would need to be protected from extended hard freezes.
The most common tall cultivar is Abutilon hybridum "Marion Stewart." It forms a small tree that has gorgeous 2-inch orange bell flowers with dramatic red veining. These flowers are very popular with hummingbirds. This variety does well in sunny areas, and sometimes needs to be pruned to promote a bushy growth habit.
Another favorite type is Abutilon megapotamicum. It is a smaller bush, with flowers that have yellow petals emerging from a red calyx and purple anthers hanging past the tip of the bell. What a sight to behold. Use this plant in a container so you can keep the flower show close to the house.
For more information about Abutilons and other Florida-friendly plants, contact the UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County Master Gardeners at 955-2402.
Q: I had my vegetable garden soil tested. Everything is within healthy parameters, except the potassium levels were low. Is there an organic way to add potassium?
A: Potassium is an important macro element in your garden soil. It is required for root growth, plant metabolism and to improve stress tolerance in plants. Many organic gardeners add wood ash to the garden to bring up the available potassium or potash in the soil. Wood ash will have a liming effect on soil, and too much will increase pH beyond the ideal of 6.5. You can add wood ash in small amounts to your compost pile, and then add the composted soil to the garden with good results.
Another option to increase your pH is a soil amendment called greensand. Greensand is a naturally occurring material that contains the minerals glaucite and iron potassium silicate. Greensand contains 5 to 7 percent potassium. These marine sands have been mined in New Jersey, but most of what we can get now comes from Texas.
Add up to 4 pounds of greensand per 1,000 square feet of garden soil. It will provide the needed potassium and help the water-holding capacity of the soil. Check with local nurseries for availability of greensand. You may have to order it from an online provider.

Ulster-loving Guy Martin delighted to win 'big one'
When autograph hunters are standing patiently five deep in a road racing paddock, it can only mean one thing — Guy Martin is 'in the house'.
The fast-talking, tea-drinking TV celebrity also races bikes the odd time these days, and on Saturday afternoon, the Lincolnshire man was more relaxed and chatty than ever, after taking the feature race victory at Dundrod: the McKinstry Skip Hire UGP Superbike race.
"We won the 'B' race last year," was how he cheekily described the second Superbike race at Dundrod. "But this year we've won the big one; the real deal.
"It's the boy to win here isn't it? Yeah it is.
"That other one we made a big deal about last year as we won it, but when you win the big one yeah that's the race to win at the Ulster Grand Prix," he smiled.
Last season Martin struggled to deal with the publicity that came from his mounting TV and film fame, but on Saturday at Dundrod he was more than happy to sit down, away from the safety of his Tyco Suzuki team awning to sign autographs and chat to his fans.
He even gave away his victory champagne to one thirsty and lucky punter.
"I love it here at the Ulster. It's always been good to me and it's proper," he said.
"By that I mean a real road race circuit.
"When you win here you've won a race. You know you've won as you have to ride bloody hard," he added.
Saturday's victory in the feature race over man-of-the-moment Michael Dunlop really pleased Martin, not so much in beating Dunlop, but more so because he ironed out some frustrating problems he's been having with set-up this year.
"We've been racing like that all year," he said, referring to Michael Dunlop.
"But that's the first time I was able to ride like I wanted. I know I can beat him; yeah I've known that for some time.
"He's a good rider, but there were a few things I was wanting changing," was his guarded yet technical reply.
"We've had the top boys here from Pirelli tyres this week, which is just the job and Philip and I have sorted a few other bits and pieces. The big Suzuki is mega and we are nearly there," he explained, hanging onto the words and demonstrating the size of the task they faced with his all action hands and arms.
When asked about the final race of the day, where he narrowly lost out to his biggest rival, he screwed up his face, stalled, smiled and replied: "The b****er I did all I could to hold him off, but he made the pass and fair play to him."
What a Guy.

GF & Fonkoze Relief Efforts in Haiti featured in Huffington Post

Alex Counts is President and CEO of Grameen Foundation, and the author of "Small Loans, Big Dreams: How Nobel Prize Winner Muhammad Yunus and Microfinance are Changing the World" (John Wiley & Sons, 2008).
Battling the odds has never been a new concept to the people of Haiti.Fifty-eight percent of the country's population is undernourished. Fifty-four percent live on less than US$1.25 a day.
[caption id="attachment_365" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Damage from Haiti's 7.0 magnitude earthquake"][/caption]
But despite these conditions, Haiti has also had to endure a number of natural disasters—most recently, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck Tuesday, January 12, near Port-au-Prince. Damage from the worst earthquake in 250 years has been described as "unimaginable" and "incomprehensible." All hospitals were leveled by the disaster, and a devastating death toll is expected, potentially in the hundreds of thousands. The archbishop of Port au Prince is one of those whose lives have been lost, and the offices of the World Bank and InterAmerican Development Bank have been destroyed.
December 21, 2009
My last day in the country was the beginning of the Bangladeshi weekend – Friday. That meant somewhat less traffic, a blessing to be sure. I spent three hours, starting at 10am, with my former research assistant, Abdul Mannan Talukdar. He is the first Area Manager in the history of Grameen who started as a loan officer (a position now called "center manager"). He is immensely proud of that, as he should be. An area manager oversees 8-10 branches, each of which are staffed by about seven staff (almost always including a university-educated branch manager) and serves several thousand clients. He told me about his journey, culminating in that historic promotion, dating from when I last saw him, in 2006.
December 21, 2009
I arrived at the Grameen Complex at 10:30am on Thursday, after having visited my old dentist (who does quality work for a fraction of the price charged back home). Before I began my first meeting, I noticed the almost frenetic activity around me in each office I entered. My good friend Mir Akhtar Hossain, who heads Dr. Yunus' person staff, was so busy he could barely catch up with me – much less indulge in our traditional lunch of chicken biryani down the road in Mirpur One. Even after thirty-three years in existence, complacency has hardly taken root in the Grameen family of companies.
December 21, 2009
I awoke on Wednesday in what we in the U.S. would consider a large tin shed. As the manager had warned, mice had run amok in the rafters at times during the night. Fortunately, I was able to tune it out after a while. Soon I was off to the Zianpur bazaar to say my goodbyes to the local Grameen staff, the teachers at the high school whom I had always been close to, and others in the community. I felt quite emotional by the time I jumped on the back of a motorcycle and headed to Aricha, where I would get a public bus to Dhaka.

[caption id="attachment_314" align="alignright" width="180" caption="Microfinance Client Shaheeda Begum"][/caption]
After a delicious Bengali breakfast of vegetables and paratha, I began a field trip that would ultimately bring me to Kholshi, where I did most of the research for my book Small Loans, Big Dreams. But first I asked to see a Grameen Bank center meeting, to see how the process has evolved. Abdul Malek, the manager, took me to Narandia, a village where there was a borrower meeting that day – this is where loan payments are made, new loans vetted, and other business conducted on a weekly basis.
Malek is still fairly new to this branch, and to driving a motorbike, so our trip through rice fields and the occasional dirt road was a bit of an adventure. I had visited Narandia a couple of times in the 1990s. Then as now the dominant force in this center – a federation of ten groups composed of fifty women clients – was Shaheeda Begum. She was making payments on her two current loans that totaled about $1,000. Only two other women in the center were able to borrow and invest amounts that large. To a much greater extent than was true a decade ago, loans are made on the basis of investment capability, and can vary a lot from client to client. Shaheeda was one of the most savvy businesswomen in the village. But as she would explain to me over the course of an hour, when she began borrowing from Grameen in 1987 her conditions were much humbler than today.

Royston and I spent the first few hours on Monday back in the Grameen Complex in Dhaka. The most exciting meeting was with two retired Grameen Bank officials -- Fazley Rabbi and, briefly, Abser Kamal – both of whom now work with Grameen Shakti (Energy). Shakti, a sister company of Grameen Bank set up by Dr. Yunus in the early 1990s and that had been led until recently by Dipal Barua, has become a world leader in bringing renewable energy to rural households. We heard how they had passed 300,000 solar home systems installed, and how they do it profitably and at a rate of 13,000 per month at present. (The second most successful program of this kind has reached just over 100,000 installations.)

After a gap of about two years, on December 13, 2009 I returned to Bangladesh – the birthplace of the modern microfinance movement and the country where I spent six of the first nine years after I graduated college. I came here initially driven by naïve idealism – that someone (especially at my tender age!) could catalyze the spread Grameen Bank's approach beyond the borders of Bangladesh, so it could to become a global (rather than simply national) anti-poverty strategy. As I was to learn, even by the time I arrived in December 1988, that process was under way – a process that was much more complex than I had imagined, and one that has been the focus of Grameen Foundation since it was established in 1997.

I am coming to the end of my longest fall trip – it's been a whirlwind and culminates in an emotional climax tonight.
Today, there will be a massive event to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The theme for many will be "another wall to fall," with the focus on how poverty needs to follow the Cold War into the dustbin of history. To symbolize this, Professor Yunus will be the final speaker at the event, which will also feature many European heads of government.
My journey began in Miami, where I was attending the board meeting of Fonkoze USA, the U.S. sister organization of the largest microfinance institution in Haiti. We heard Fonkoze's co-founders, Father Joseph Philippe and Anne Hastings, report about some positive trends in the their organization and also some troubling developments in Haiti, including the fall of the government (i.e., the Prime Minister was forced out by the President) the day before we arrived in Miami – something that could set back many recently announced humanitarian projects, some of which Fonkoze would stand to benefit from. With Haiti, even at the best of times it seems like two steps forward, one and half steps back – but Fonkoze battles on. The board of directors of Fonkoze elected me their Chairman, in part due to the great support that they have gotten over the years from Grameen Foundation. I was honored and humbled.

Ive had my KelTech RFB for about a year now and have fired about 750 rounds through the rifle since I got it. The RFB comes with a factory rail, but no optics are supplied. I pulled the ACOG with Docter Red Dot off my FS2000 and mounted it for my first range trip. The ACOG requires about 1 ½ inch eye relief so I set it up that way before heading to the range.
I fired about 20 rounds using the Red Dot to get my initial sight adjustments. I didnt have any problems until I started pulling my head down to sight through the scope. The RFB has some recoil and the top of the stock is flat and smooth. There was enough travel on recoil that the manual rain sight, mounted on to of the red dot was contacting my forehead. I managed to get the scope set for 200 yards and the RFB was very accurate using Prvi Partizan 168 gr HPBT match ammo. I guess I got too relaxed and forgot about the eye relief. I fired at 300 yards and got a nice divot in my forehead from the rain sight. I didnt learn from my first divot. I started shooting out to 500 yards and the RFB was dead on target using the BDC reticle in the ACOG. I managed to ding my forehead 2-3 more times shooting out to 500 yards and the blood dripping off my nose seemed to distract some of the other shooters.
I put the RFB up for the day and waited until I replaced the ACOG with an EoTech with a lot more eye relief. On the second trip to the range I took along some MagTech 150 gr rounds. I wanted to test some lighter loads to see if I would have to adjust the piston on the RFB. The gun has handled everything Ive fired through it without having to make any piston adjustments. I shot some surplus ball ammo and some of my reloads through it and have not had any failures or malfunctions. The RFB seems to group the 168 gr loads a little tighter than the 150s. Switching from the ACOG reticle to the Eotech red dot seemed to make it more difficult to hold decent groups at 500 yards. The best I was able to shoot was a 12 inch group at 500 yards using the Prvi match ammo. I need to look for optics with more eye relief, but I havent gotten around to that yet.
Im very happy with the RFB. I Have the FN FS2000 and an MSAR, both in .223 and the RFB with the 18 inch barrel is shorter than the other two by an inch. The RFB is heavier, but the added weight helps dissipate some of the recoil. In addition, the .308 carries more punch and has better penetration then the .223.
The front discharge for the ejected cases takes some getting used to. The discharge tube will hold 3-4 cases and then all will drop out at once. If you eject an unfired round, you have to hold the rifle barrel down to make sure the round drops out of the tube. The FS2000 has a chamber inspection port to make it easier to clear the weapon. With the RFB, I have to lock the bolt back and look up through the empty mag well to make sure the chamber is clear. Cleaning and disassembly is not difficult. So far I havent had any problems with the weapon. I think this is one of KelTechs best designs. The trigger pull is clean and crisp and much better than most bullpup triggers.
The RFB came with 1 20 round magazine. I found some new, surplus FAL metric mags on the web for $72 (4 pack). They were produced in Israel in 1976 and still wrapped in the original packing and cosmoline. It took 3-4 hours to get all the cosmoline out and clean the mags, but they feed and function well. I did notice with the original magazine and the 4 surplus mags that a fully loaded mag ( 20 rounds) was very difficult to fully seat with the bolt closed. I got used to carrying 18 rounds in all my M16 mags back in 67 and 68 and I just load 18 rounds in the FAL mags.
If your looking for an accurate, hard hitting bullpup, this would be my #1 recommendation.

In 2010, Gauhati High Court had allowed a CBI inquiry into the allegations made through a PIL filed by the Society for Social Action (SOSA), an anti-corruption group. But as the CBI investigations were almost completed, the state government had petitioned the Supreme Court to stop the inquiry alleging that the affidavits were false.
The Supreme Court told the Mizoram government's lawyers in the latest hearing on February 8 that "you should be happy that the investigations will prove the allegations to be false" and rejected their plea.
If the allegations are proved, many top engineers and even the then chief minister Zoramthanga are likely to be directly implicated.
The president of the Society for Social Action (SOSA), Sailova Sailo, told The Telegraph, "We are delighted that the Supreme Court has dismissed the government's petition and the CBI inquiry can continue now."
He said the group had filed the PIL seeking CBI inquiry into the misuse of Prime Minister Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) funds during 2000-05. The PIL said the PWD had fraudulently "spent" crores of rupees on existing roads, which were shown in official documents as "new" roads.
"I was the director of transport and I vouch for the fact that we already had Mizoram state transport buses plying on these roads shown as 'new' by the PWD during that period," F. Hmingthanga, a retired Mizoram Civil Service officer, and general secretary of the group said.
"Why should the present Congress government, which came to power in 2008 on the manifesto that they would pursue all these scams, move the Supreme Court to stop the CBI inquiry when it was the previous government which would be implicated?" asked Sailo.
He said if the government in power were true to the public they would not have tried to stop the CBI inquiry. "These parties are all in it together to cheat the public," he said.
The group also questioned why the government played favourites while suspending their officials facing anti-corruption inquiries. "The government has so far refused to suspend the PWD engineers in this present case and several other inquiries," it said.

Bimmerfest is Live from the North American International Auto Show! Live Updates!
The North American International Auto Show is underway and we are live to bring you pictures and our take on everything happening in Detroit. The biggest stories for BMW enthusiasts involves the North American debut of the 2012 BMW 3 Series F30.
First Impressions
As in most cases, I definitely think the car looks better in person than it does in pictures. The lines are clean and there is just something about the way a new BMW shines under the lights at an auto show. The hood line is no where near the issue that people have been making it out to be and it certainly does not take away from the sleekness of the design.
The extended lights to the grill is probably going to take some getting used to -- I think it is a good, aggressive choice but it simply is not what I am used to when looking at a BMW.
Interior looks really good in person. I was particularly worried about the navigation screen looking "thrown in" but it works in this car better than in the E90 series. The steering wheel is a bit busy for my personal tastes but the trend has been to keep adding more buttons. The red highlighting in the sport line is a really nice touch -- not at all boy racer like you might have been worrying about.
Random thoughts include:
Honestly, this car is exactly what I expected -- an evolutionary take on the outgoing E90 3 Series model. The car will certainly turn some heads on the street, especially in the Melbourne Red Metallic offering. I'm even more excited now about taking delivery of the Bimmerfest long term review 328i next month at the Performance Delivery Center!
Take a look through the 200+ pictures we have put up so far. More to come throughout the day!

TESSA AND JOSHUA'S WEDDINGAugust, 2010 in Charlottesville
"Our wedding was incredibly fun! We stayed at Ragged Mountain Farm with our family (a beautiful mansion in the hills west of Charlottesville), which was an incredible place to get ready for the entire wedding party and parents. St. Paul's was a lovely church for the ceremony, with a great courtyard for a receiving line after the service. King Family Vineyards is (in my opinion) by far the most beautiful place in all of Charlottesville area to have your reception. Also great for an outdoor ceremony."

Timeless AffairsCharlottesville, VA, USA
"Timeless Affairs is a Lynchburg-based wedding event company, and I was able to get a very reasonable price ($350) to have two day-of coordinators organize our big day for us. They ran through our desired timeline with us in advance, ran the rehearsal (which was really great because there were competing ideas from participants, celebrants, and family members about how to do this, and the coordinator was able to speak on our behalf, enabling us just to relax and enjoy), and kept the entire timeline in check on the day of so we didn't have to worry about a thing. I HIGHLY recommend Timeless Affairs."

Tara has an upbeat, can-do approach to life and we love looking in to see that spirit in action. Tara helps you feel everything is possible…
Last March, I had a crazy idea. I had finished two quilts (Christmas gifts) in a little over a month and then made very little progress over the first three months of the New Year. I recognized that it was the craziness of the Quilts By Christmas deadline that got me quilting more. If I wanted more quilting in my daily life, I'd need to make another crazy, fun goal for myself. So I announced that I was going to attempt six quilts in the remaining nine months of 2013. That might not be a lot for some people, but considering I had only made a total of three quilts in my whole life, it was just big enough to be inspiring.
Now that we're just a few days away from the end of the year, I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to meet my goal of six new quilts. But that's OK, because I did finish a long-waiting collaborative quilt with my mom, started and finished a new quilt, started two more, joined a quilting bee and sketched out ideas for at least a half a dozen more.
All in all, my goal was a delightful success because it fulfilled its bigger purpose: bring more quilting into my life.
I love a good, crazy, year-long goal and I've spent the past few years experimenting (with my creative business guinea pigs/clients) to learn what makes any dream do-able.
Here's what I've found makes big crafty goals a fun experience and a huge success:
(You can use this for your crafty goals or your craft business goals!)
Focus on what matters to you.
Do you want to get better at a specific skill?
Are you excited (obsessed!) with a new craft or project?
Are you looking to kickstart your mojo?
Do you want to have an entirely handmade holidays (next year!)?
Find what you really want, and shape your goal around that.
For example, I'm not much of a perfectionist, and I don't have fun with fiddly instructions. Knowing this, I shouldn't set a goal related to perfection, but one related to quantity or trying different kinds of projects.
Be flexible.
The joy in a big crafty goal is that no matter how close (or far) you come to it, you'll have spent more time doing what you love. That extra time will translate into increased skill, confidence and enthusiasm, even if you don't follow through.
There's a balance here, between taking yourself and your goal seriously, and allowing that it might not all work out as planned. I find that regular review allows you to reassess where you are, how close you are, and what you can shift or change to either get closer to– or adjust– your goal.
Share it.
The American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) reports that you are 85% more likely to complete a goal when you tell someone else. So don't keep it to yourself! Join in with other crafters who are working on the very same goal. From free groups (like 365Project or a quilting finish-a-long), to paid courses that keep you on track (like the Organized Elf for a handmade holiday or my Solo Mission for your business goals), sharing makes it easier and more fun to stick with your plan!
What's your new year project or goal?
How will you reassess it?
Who will you share it with?
Share in the comments!

8 Responses to The Power of Big, Crafty Goals
What a fun post! Last year a friend of mine and I founded a women's art/craft collective in Atlanta for women with young kids. We rent space in a church and run a cooperatively scheduled childcare in the nursery so we all get time to work on our creative projects. This inspired us all to set some creative goals for next year – and post them on our blog. It can feel overwhelming to get any projects done with young kids around, so it is nice to have some goals (even if they are on the small-ish side!) for the new year!
Wow, I really needed to see this, this post came at exactly the right time for me. I started a small business last August (painting birdhouses with plans for more crafts in the new year) and did two small craft shows. I did very poorly at the craft shows but experienced vendors told me the problem was no traffic at the shows, not my product. I'll try blogging, joining a group for accountability, as you suggest in the post, and see where that takes me. Thanks!
I did something very similar to you last year. I set myself the goal of reading 52 books in the year because I missed reading so much. Like you I didn't get my target but I was more than happy because it made me read more. I got up to 44 books and I'm going to try again next year, and I love every hour I spent reading instead of working 🙂
I made my public and blogged about my progress (here: http://www.thesewingdirectory.blogspot.co.uk/p/52-books-in-52-weeks.html) and other people joined in too which made me even more accountable because there were several of us doing. I've already got over 20 reading along with me for 2014 and we're hoping one of us might it it next year but even if not we'll enjoy reading and sharing recommendations and the experience.
A private blog would be a great idea for me! I hadn't thought of that. My problem isn't setting goals or even reaching them… eventually. I get discouraged because I get sick so often and can't sew for days or even weeks at a time so I feel I haven't gotten anything done. Most of what I make I give away so I don't see the progress I make and focus on my down time. A private blog would be a great reminder of all the work I have done and encourage me. I would see that I actually did get something done on my good days!
Thanks Cheryl Jaeger and Elise
I was wondering if I should write down some crafting new years resolutions and share them on my blog, and after reading your blog post I have decided to do that. I just have to come up with some good ideas first! But one goal I have already: I'm going to sew my first quilted blanket. I have already found this gorgeous pattern from a Norwegian designer, so I'm sure that I'm going to finish my goal. Greetings from one of your readers in Norway 🙂
What a perfectly timed, well-written post! Making quilts, learning new skills, and playing more with sewing are my overall goals. Breaking these goals down into specific objectives helps me. A photo-filled to-do list has also been helpful to me in the past, so I want to keep this going. I shared my to-do list on my blog, but since only one of my friends actually reads my blog…this visual to-do list is more for me to keep me focused. Maybe I should check out some other ways to share!
I have several goals for 2014 which center on being more organized in order to be more creative.
This is why I love QALs. They are big goals broken down into bite sized pieces, and it really feels like someone else is doing the work because the planning part is the work for me.
My goals for the first quarter of this upcoming year include a QAL by Happy Quilting Melissa, starting in January, which I am super excited about, getting the actual quilting done on the last quilt I made via another of HQMs QALs in time for a silent auction, and getting my new house in order! That last part might not sound crafty to you but considering it involves putting order to the absolute chaos that is my craft room, at least part of it will be.

Babies, babies, babies...
There is a special bond that is formed between women who are pregnant. I found this to be just a true for those of us who met on the message board as I did for those women here in my home town who I knew who were pregnant. Throughout our pregnancies we shared our joys, our concerns, our frustrations, and some laughs. Checking in with the board felt like checking in with your neighbors to see how their day is going. I still feel that way as we've all graduated to the newborn-6 month board, now sharing the joys and challenges of parenting a newborn.
As a celebration of the connection a group of strangers from around the globe have found through the miracle of bringing a life into the world, I bring to you a collection of baby photos of the WebMD Babies.
Thank you to all my WebMD friends who took the time to send me pictures!
Thursday, June 15, 2006
Those of us who have a sibling know that the bond between siblings is a unique and special bond. When we found out that we'd be adding a baby sister to our family, I had many people comment about the extra special nature of the sister-sister bond. Watching Lexi become a big sister has been amazing, but witnessing the special bond between sisters has been truly incredible. Lexi is such a gentle and caring sister. She's attentive, loving and protective and already willing to teach her little sister about things of this world. And to watch little Brea respond to her, even at this very early age...wow. Her little face lights up with joy when she hears big sister enter the room. The unspoken connection that they share is truly special and unique and I look forward to watching that bond grow in the years to come.
Two perfect, beautiful little girlies. We are blessed!

Where to begin...
Tonight's featured photo...this cute pink Nalgene kids water bottle. I have some what of a Nalgene water bottle addiction. Yes, I know it's silly to have a thing for something as simple as a water bottle, but I guess it's one of those oddities that makes me who I am. Having now two girlies in the house I of course couldn't buy just ONE of these adorable pink kiddie bottles...oh NO...I bought two even though the youngest girly won't be able to use hers for quite some time. AND even though I have 4 (yes I said FOUR) Nalgenes of my own, I had to get a matching pink grown up bottle for mommy! (Let me diverge for a moment...I would like to note that being the mother of girls does something to you...I used to HATE pink. Now our lives have been over run by pink. Who is this person I have become?!)) But back to the subject at hand...I now believe the Nalgene bottle count in our house stands at 9...but who's counting :)

I'm heading to Las Vegas on Monday for the Fantasy Sports Trade Association's annual experts league draft. This will be the first time I've taken part in this league -- and also the first time I've teamed up with anyone else in a fantasy league in a long, long time.
As I mentioned in an earlier post on selecting draft position, Howard Kamen and I have the No. 3 overall pick in the draft. But which player we take first is probably the least of our concerns.
We know we'll get a franchise cornerstone to build our team around. The real challenge will be figuring out exactly how to construct that team -- while at the same time trying to express our individual opinions without causing conflict. That's a very fine line to walk, which makes it extremely hard for any fantasy partnership to succeed.
However, it can be done.
The most successful fantasy duo I've seen in action is Glenn Colton and Rick Wolf, who won three LABR titles with Rotoworld.com and have been in contention for several more. (Glenn still writes a weekly column for them, but Rick is now running his own fantasy consulting business, Full Moon Sports.)
I asked them for a few tips on how they've been able to work so well together. From that conversation, here are what I'll call "Rick's Six Rules."
He makes some great points, as you might expect. And together they've figured out how to maximize their skills. For instance, Glenn is stronger in evaluating pitchers and Rick is better with hitters. Glenn is excellent in finding values in the endgame; Rick does a great job judging playing time and injury concerns.
"You have to have a partner willing to check his ego at the door," Colton says. In addition, they have a set of unbreakable team rules they have developed -- along the lines of those outlined above. "While one has to be flexible during an auction, having those unbreakable rules helps keep the team on track," Colton adds. Simply stated: "Never, ever leave your wing man."
And finally, there's one bit of advice that can apply to anyone: Don't skimp on the pre-draft preparation.
"We actually talk about every player individually who could possibly come up at the auction/draft," Colton says. "Thus, there is no question where the team stands on that player (since) it has been worked out in advance."
Besides our teams, there are three other partnerships among the 13 teams in Monday's FSTA draft. We'll all be attempting to emulate the Colton/Wolf team and their ability to work together. How well we're able to pull that off will be an important factor in how close we come to duplicating their track record of success.

Many prospective investors are looking into initial public offerings after the government moved in to curb property speculation by increasing the Real Property Gains Tax.
PETALING JAYA: Government measures to curb property speculation in Budget 2014, ample liquidity and political stability in Malaysia post 13th General Election (GE13) is fanning investors interest in initial public offerings (IPOs) which are performing exceptionally well.
With blue chip counters already richly priced, investors now are in a frenzy for IPOs much like what was seen last year when Bursa Malaysia welcomed large listings such as SapuraKencana Petroluem Bhd, Gas Malaysia Bhd, Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd, IHH Healthcare Bhd and Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd.
"Many investors, who were previously interested in property buying, are now having a re-look at the stock market, as a result of the government's decision to double the Real Property Gains Tax (RPGT) from 15% to 30% for properties disposed within three years of purchase," said Pong Teng Siew, Inter-Pacific Securities Sdn Bhd head of research.
The RPGT hike was announced by Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak in Budget 2014, aimed at reducing speculative property purchases.
Post May 5 GE13, Bursa Malaysia has witnessed some 12 IPOs coming for listing on the Main Board of the exchange, bringing the year-todate new listing to 14 stocks. The total numbers of new listings last year was 17, including three new stocks on the ACE Market.
Even though the IPOs this year were not as large as last year's, with the exception of Westports Holdings Bhd and UMW Oil & Gas Corp Bhd, the bulk of them are performing well (see chart on P1).
Pong believes the conclusion of the GE13 is a big relief to investors and companies who were holding back from investing due to uncertainties. Now the held-back liqudity is back in the market, he believes.
"If we look at the recent IPOs, all were oversubscribed from more than five times to an overwhelming 33 times.
This signals extra attention given to the stocks by new attention stream, maybe from the the property buyers.
"Even some stocks on the ACE Market, especially those listed last year, are doing very well now. Some of them are outperforming the south-going composite index. This shows the sentiment is back at high," Pong added.
The last three IPOs namely UMW, condom maker Karex Bhd and Caring Pharmacy Group Bhd were oversubscribed by 10, 21.76 and 33.66 times respectively.
MIDF Research Sdn Bhd head Zulkifli Hamzah said local investors (both institutional and retail) are awash with liquidity as they have been overwhelmingly net sellers prior to the elections.
"The period post GE13 marks their return into the local bourse. Hence, to again raise their exposures in the stock market, the IPO market is arguably among their preferred buys apart from quality laggard stocks as well as lower liners with relatively cheap valuations," he said. Zulkifli said in the case of Karex and Caring Pharmacy, the most important factor would be the sectors the companies are involved, namely healthcare and pharmaceutical.
"Healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors are not only vibrant, in view of the burgeoning middle-class population particularly in emerging economies, but also resilient, hence they are less vulnerable to an economic downturn."
He also said the higher RPGT will almost certainly dampen speculation in the property market, thus some people who previously were only interested in properties are now beginning to look at the stock market as an alternative avenue for investments.
According to market observers, a strong third-quarter (3Q) gross domestic product (GDP) figure, set to be released today by Bank Negara Malaysia, could act as a catalyst to boost investors confidence in the market.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned the world his nation is prepared to take any necessary action in order to ensure that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons. Barak told an Italian newspaper that a nuclear Iran would be "dangerous to world order" and he emphasized all options for dealing with a nuclear Iran were on the table and could be used. However, he did emphasize the importance of "accelerating economic sanctions against Iran" as a primary weapon to deal with nuclear development in that country. "Either way, we need to keep very option open. If they provoke us, or they attack us, our army is prepared to attack and to succeed uncompromisingly."
There is no question those in charge of Iran are deliberately challenging leading nations of the world by refusing to accede to requests to focus on peaceful uses of nuclear development and to end military considerations. However, attacking Iran is also a foolhardy approach that will only lead to devastation in the region. The path of economic pressure must be pursued even though it takes time and does not appear to be the macho approach to dealing with Iranian leaders. In many respects, President Ahmadinejad is the type of leader who wants military action so he can pose as a courageous leader.

" Brand: Biotherm / Type: Concealer / Subcategory: Eye Care / What it does: Bronzes / Product line: Biotherm Homme Power Bronze / Gender: for Men / "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I really like Biotherm products and regularly but myself their moisturisers as I find that they are one of the best out there that are specially designed for men's skin. I have tried some of the power bronze products before and they are basically just moisturisers with a little fake tan in them which help give a healthy glow and cover up redness and spots. I decided to try the power bronze instant dark circle corrector as I have been noticing lately that I am starting to get dark rings around my eyes which sleep and drinking water etc. are doing nothing for.
These dark circles aren't massively bad or anything but they do make me a little paranoid and I do look some days that I am burning the candle at both ends even when I'm not.
The instant dark circle corrector costs £12.50 so it is a little cheaper than most Biotherm products but then again this is probably because you only get a tiny little tube containing 10ml of the corrector.
The corrector is coloured and available in light or dark. I chose the darker version because my skin tone isn't all that pale but I think this was a mistake and I probably should have gone for the light version.
The cream is tinted and as soon as I squeezed a little bit on to my finger I was worried that it was going to be too dark for me.
You are supposed to just add a tiny amount to your finger and pat it around the underside of your eye.
When I put it on and patted it I immediately noticed that I could see the tint and it looked like I was putting foundation under my eye. Being a man I didn't really want to look as though I was wearing make-up but no matter how much or little I put on it didn't seem to absorb into my skin and blend with my skin tone.
I found that it was really noticeable even after blending and although it covered my dark circles I was left with what looked like streaky fake tan under my eyes. I have to say that I really wasn't impressed with it and it isn't something that I would buy again.
As an eye cream it felt nice enough on my skin but it did feel a little heavy and not lightweight like most eye creams I have tried do.
Perhaps as I said I should have tried the lighter one but I didn't and based on the experience of using the darker one I wouldn't want to waste any more money buying the lighter one to try it and on that basis it isn't something that I could recommend.

This instructable shows how to create a miniature model of a Pokemon city from HeartGold or SoulSilver. It will say how to make individual pieces, but it is up to you to find out the layout of the city you will try to make. This does NOT show how to make a specific city, it only shows the buildings, ground, etc. Enjoy!
Step 1: Buildings
POKE CENTER (Top half of picture):
The first image is basically a cube of styrofoam. I just trimmed the corners so they had a slight curve and extruded the door.
Then I wrapped painter's tape around the bottom and spray-painted the roof a nice Marachino Cherry red. Then I removed the painter's tape, wrapped a silvery tape around it, added electrical tape stripes, and glued on the door and the windows up above the door. I just printed out light blue shapes.
POKE MART (Bottom half of picture):
Basically, I just followed the same steps as the Poke Center, but with a slightly different design. The little overhang of the roof is important. It makes it look like the one in the game. The key difference is the sign. For that, I cut up a block of styrofoam into 2 in. wide by 1 in. tall by 0.5 in. thick. I stuck a straw into it for the post, and then glued on a small blue sign like the one in the game.
Step 2: Fences
Step 3: Groundcover
Step 4: Rocks
Rocks are commonly found on beaches, trails, and everywhere you go. To make a rock, use a 1x1 styrofoam cube. Then make it look rough, but have it in a jagged dome shape. Then spray-paint it brown and you're done. Simple, right? For bigger rocks, use 2x2 cubes.

That Line About The Wine
Even in the realm of fantasy, Hendry wine makes an appearance.
You know that movie that came out a few years ago with those wizards, dwarves, swords, orcs and whatnot, where they all got together and went on a quest? You might remember that part where that giant scary orc shouts out "Find the halfling!" to the rest of his orc army? Well, we've got word from certain people that that's not what he's saying. Seriously! He's actually saying "Find the half-bottle!"
You see, that orc just tasted Hendry Red wine and he looooovvvvved the stuff. Couldn't get enough. That complex aroma of cherries, berries, plums, leather, and spice that are in the 2009 Hendry Pinot Noir hit his nose, and he couldn't handle not having his own bottle.
As if that wasn't bad enough, he then tried the 2009 Hendry Block 28 Zinfandel! Let me tell ya, you think the guy looks mean in the movie? You should've seen how angry he got when he realized he drank his entire supply in one sip. Boy howdy!
It's actually a shame that that one mysterious ranger-turned-king human killed him. If only the man knew that all that orc wanted was a simple bottle of wine, maybe things would've gone a little better for him..
Anyway, if that orc loved this wine so much, you can trust that you will too. Don't believe us? watch the movie again, and tell us he's not full of passion when he yells out "Find the half-bottle!"

Lotus Exige CupR Revealed
Not really waiting for Lotus Motorsports to homologate anything for the US pro racing serie, as I prefer to do my own as I put together something more appropriate for US pro racing, i.e., cheaper given reality of road racing sponsorship opportunities in the US. Offered very reasonable homologation for Exige I4 and Evora for World Challenge GT (top class) and GTS (middle class). Response was a maybe for Exige V6 for World Challenge GT.

Heather Anderson's Profile
My full time job is Mom of two wonderful girls, I moonlight out in my studio creating stoneware pieces that are inspired by my interest in my Scandinavian hertitage, and my love of nature. I love to recreate images of nature, plants, animals, trees, even textures in a stylized form to bring the outside into our homes, offices, or backyard patios.
About a decade ago I graduated from Gustavus Adolphus college as an art major with an emphasis on ceramics and drawing and then moved to the Southern Oregon coast to work as an art teacher before I started my family. Now I spend my days in the studio, or volunteering with art literacy programs at schools, and on occasion I open up my studio to teach classes or work on collaborative projects with other artists.

"I'm extremely happy with the final product and the service Tiny Prints provided. My cards arrived extremely quickly and I love them!"
"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"Ordered these for our daughters first birthday. They came earlier than expected! They are absolutely adorable. High quality paper and print. They could be mistaken for a boutique quality or high end "custom" invites. I am very picky so ordering these without seeing and feeling them made me nervous but for the price I decided to take a risk. WELL WORTH IT. If you like the design and are hesitating like I was, DONT be! :-) Just order them --you won't be disappointed."
"I am in LOVE with this invite and I get a TON of compliments. Looks great, just wish it got delivered a little quicker. Great invite, highly recommend."
"I am very pleased with this invitation. The style is cute, the paper is a nice weight and even though the paper is just the plain matte, the image quality is good. The colors are vibrant as well. I also went with the rounded corners which adds a really nice look for minimal extra cost. Shipping was quicker than estimated."

Series expansion of x_n=Tan[x_n]
I'm new to Mathematica and I want to comptute a series expansion of the
sequence (x_n) defined by :
x_n=Tan[x_n] and n Pi-Pi/2 < x_n < n Pi+Pi/2
It's easy to prove that
x_n = n Pi + O(1) and x_n = n Pi + ArcTan[x_n]
>From these 2 formulas, one could easily compte a series expansion of
(x_n) to any order. For example:
x_n = n Pi + ArcTan[nPi + O(1)] = nPI + Pi/2 -1/(n Pi) + O(1/n^2)
Then we can iterate the Process.
I want to do this whith Mathematica, but I have a Few Problems :
- How can I enter O(1) ? I've tried O(n,Infinity)^0 but it simplifies to=
- When I compute ArcTan[n Pi + Pi/2- 1/(Pi n)+O(1/n)^2), it gives me
Pi/2-1/(Pi n)+O(1/n)^2. I'm surprised because one could get a better
serie expansion from that.
Could you help me ?

Herbs are any plant used for flavoring food, medicine or perfume and in some cases herbs are used in a spiritual sense. Some herbal plants have flowers and some just have foliage. Depending on the particular herb any part of the plant maybe used from the leaves to the flowers to the root.
Culinary herbs are different from vegetables in that, like spices, they are used in small amounts that add flavor rather than substance to food. As an example, cilantro can be added to salads to give it more punch or in the use of pesto, basil can be used in moderate amounts to add the primary flavor of pesto. Culinary use typically distinguishes herbs as referring to the leafy green parts of a plant (either fresh or dried), but it is not uncommon to use the flower of an herb in some recipes, however it is uncommon to use the root.
Spiritual uses of herbs again are use in a different manner and are often used in the form of burning to release the aroma into the surrounding area . The essential oil of the herb is also commonly used in religious ceremonies for anointing.
Medicinal Herbs have been used since the beginning of time. Plants contain phyto-chemicals that have an effect on the body and based on certain properties of the plant it can be used for a variety of maladies. One such example is the herb peppermint which is often used for digestive upsets and even headaches.
As with all things it is good practice to learn about the plants that you use to ensure safety.

Home > Features > Issues > Bali Memorial > Article
He had that elusive quality: presence. When he entered a room people noticed. When he died, everyone noticed too; the shock reverberated around the globe.
He was superbly fit, with an infectious smile and a career in the money market - everything to live for and so much ahead of him.
That was the Josh Iliffe known to his sporting buddies, and to friends around the Sydney suburb of Kensington, where he shared a flat with fellow Coogee Dolphin Clint Thompson.
In their townhouse at Bowral, not that far from the Bradman Oval, Peter and Yvonne Iliffe remember the youngest of their three children. Their love is laced with the pangs of loss.
Josh grew up surfing Sydney's northern beaches. He played rugby league with the Eastern Suburbs club before a friend introduced him to the Dolphins. From a young age, Josh learnt to play defence.
"Peter used to give him 20 cents a tackle as a young boy," Yvonne Iliffe says, smiling. Yes, Peter says, it was to teach Josh from the outset that the game required players who would take responsibility.
But it is Josh's "charisma" to which they frequently return. He was always a fun person, they say: you would know when he had entered the room, because he had a certain presence. And if it was a large gathering, Josh would move from one conversation to another.
After graduating in economics from Sydney University, Josh Iliffe worked in his father's business before becoming a futures trader. A contact at Barclays Capital, James Clarke, had been trying to lure Josh to the company's Singapore office. Josh was thinking about the offer, Peter Iliffe says.
After the Bali bombing, Clarke wrote that Josh Iliffe's death had sent ripples through the world's financial industry.
"The massive expression of grief, from Sydney to London, from Hong Kong to New York, has demonstrated the large impression that Josh made on the hearts of those who had the pleasure of knowing him. Although I am not a particularly religious person, I believe there is a better place and he has certainly earned his spot there," Clarke wrote.
Yvonne Iliffe says she was "worried something would happen" to Josh when he told the family about the Bali trip. Serendipitously, Josh and his siblings - Trent, 36, and Nicholle, 34 - had been at their parents' Bowral home the weekend before he left.
Josh had been showing off his taut stomach muscles and athletic body, and was a happy man.
That is what they will remember.

CANADA FX-C$ surges to 3-month high after central bank's more bullish signal
(Updates throughout with details, comment from USForex, market reaction)
* Canadian dollar ends at C$1.2300, or 81.30 U.S. cents
* C$ hits strongest level since January rate cut
* C$ has biggest one-day gain since March 18
* Bond prices lower across the maturity curve
By Solarina Ho
TORONTO, April 15 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar powered higher on Wednesday after the Bank of Canada talked down the probability of another interest rate cut, with the currency hitting its strongest level against the greenback since the bank's surprise rate cut in January.
Bank Governor Stephen Poloz reiterated his view that the impact of the oil-price crash on Canada's oil-heavy economy will have been most severe in the first part of the year and that the bank's 25-basis-point January cut, as well as more robust U.S. demand, will help non-energy exports and labor markets strengthen.
"Probably the ... most positive (comment) was the fact that some of the economic weakness we've seen is front-loaded and that they are expecting the economy to be on a pretty good growth trajectory for the remainder of the year," said Lennon Sweeting, currency strategist at USForex. Continued...

Organizing Our Library Trips
|September 6, 2011
|Posted by Mommy Cameron | Homeschooling under Library, Library Printables, Planning/Organization
Since we are not doing out Ll is for Lion Theme this week, I have decided that we are going to use this week to do some of the neat stuff that is done at the beginning of the school year and a few other projects that we will use throughout the year.
First up, we made library book bags. Every time we go to the library, the boys just start throwing books into the bag that I have brought to carry our stash. However, what happens is that the boys start fighting over which books "belong" to whom. We also end up with more than the 25 books I can check out on my library card. So, to help with this problem, the boys made library book bags.
I purchased a three pack of blank canvas tote bags and fabric markers from a craft store.
I let each boy decorate their bag however they wanted. Thing 1 and Thing 2 really got into this.
Now each boy has their own bag to put their library books into while we are at the library.
Also, to alleviate the amount of books each boy collects, I made them a stack of numbered bookmarks to put into each book they put into their bag. When all the bookmarks are gone, they can't pick out any more books. I printed the bookmarks out in the each boys favorite color and laminated them. I also punched holes in them and clipped them together with binder rings, so that I can keep them together between library trips. You can get the file I used {HERE}.
I hope to be testing it all out tomorrow!

Understanding the dietary needs of your guests.
You may never host a guest with food allergies, which affect one in 25 Americans.

Here's help in understanding your guests' reasons for not eating "everything" and advice on how to accommodate their needs, deliciously.

About MeEver since dance recitals as a small girl I've always loved dressing up in costume. As I've gotten older, that love has expanded to pursue sewing and costume making. I usually focus on Cosplay works from video games and animes, but I also work on original costume design, fantasy, period fashion and themes from fairy tales or literary works. I'm a versatile model, and believe a photo shoot should be fun, expressive, artistic and bold.
I am equally comfortable being directed or simply free posing, as the photographer prefers. I have some dance and marital arts background and have a fair amount of flexibility, strength and artistic view on good angles or contrasts. I have been officially modelling for a year, and have had a lot of fun doing a variety of indoor and outdoor shoots. I'm not afraid of getting into a character or set and really bringing the frame to life.

We at MovieHotties.com would like to take a moment and wish a happy birthday to a very special woman who is dear to our hearts. The super-hot and magnificent Jessica Biel is celebrating her 26th birthday today and we're very happy that she's doing well. I almost can't believe that she's so young still but hey, she'll probably look the way she does now when she's 50. So in celebration of this wonderful occasion, enjoy this terrific gift from us to the fans which comes in the form of smokin' hot photos of her over the past few years.
I would offer myself as a gift to Jessica and emerge from a chocolate cake but I doubt she would pay any attention to me so I guess we'll have a SEXY PARTY instead. She deserves everything for all the movies, photoshoots, sexy candids, beach photos and everything else she has provided us over many years. Once again, happy birthday Jess and we wish you many more!
