WANT to know how to be an ideal passenger?
Well, you need to be a man aged in your 30s, sit in economy, travel alone and be on holiday. That's according to a survey of 700 flight attendants by travel website Skyscanner.com.
YOUR SAY: What are the most annoying things passengers - and cabin crew - do? Tell us below
At last: Airport joy for fed-up Aussie travellers
But dare to click your fingers to get the attention of a crew member and you'll rocket straight to the top of their most hated list, with 26 per cent saying it's the most annoying habit of passengers.
The next mile-high no-no is getting up from your seat at the end of a flight, before the seatbelt sign is switched off (with 13 per cent of the votes) - an act many travellers are guilty of.
Other acts sure to enrage flight attendants include passengers who stuff too many bags into the overhead locker (11 per cent) and those who then complain there's no space for their carry-ons.
Talking through the safety demo was another frustration (9 per cent), and don't you dare ask for more blankets or pillows (8 per cent) unless you want to make the flight attendants' blood boil!
Meanwhile, stuffing rubbish in the seat pocket won't do you any favours, nor will asking for a different meal.
And whatever you do, refrain from ringing the attendant bell to complain about the temperature, or to ask for a specific brand of drink.

In other words, hosties crack the sh*ts when you ask for anything or do anything that requires them to work!
- rigolo of Posted at 13/11/2012 1:58pm
so, according to this survey, whatever you do will annoy them! stay sited and quiet!
- Honey of Posted at 13/11/2012 2:03pm
Why are they working as a flight attendant if they don't actually want to do the things that are part of the job? Seriously, it makes them cranky to get a blanket for someone?!
- JD of Posted at 13/11/2012 2:03pm
So if they hate getting you blankets and pillws have one on every seat!! You are supposed to have limits for carry on luggae so enforce it - I had the misfortune of travelling on a budget airline and had just my handbag as carry on and the lady beside me got cranky becasue she could fit her full size suitcae in the overhead locker!!! Who patrols this no one so stop whinging stewards & stewardess - it's your bloody job to get us drinks and blankets etc if you dont like it leave your job!!!!!
- prankking of Posted at 13/11/2012 2:05pm
So pretty much, sit down, and shut up.
- Billo of Land of Nod Posted at 13/11/2012 2:05pm
Boy...sounds like we better just sit there, shut up and thank them profusely for bringing us our plastic meal !!!
- Andrew of Perth Posted at 13/11/2012 2:08pm
Yes, you can be all of those things and you will get zero attention or reward because of it. Even less if you're on a Qantas flight!
- Gordy of Sydney Posted at 13/11/2012 2:11pm
I find that the easiest way to get on with Flight staff is to treat them the way I like to be treated, nicely. Ask for anything with a Please a Thank you and a smile and it is generally delivered with the same courtesy.
- Will of Sydney Posted at 13/11/2012 2:14pm
Its their job to keep you safe in the event of an emergency. Its a plus that they serve drinks and food. You pay for their safety skills and its required by law to have them on board. If you want the special service, pay for business class or first class...bunch of cheap skates!
- Jane2 of Posted at 13/11/2012 2:14pm
People who drink too much and then either get loud or throw up, both making the journey terrible for everyone else.
- boo hoo of Posted at 13/11/2012 2:16pm
do we really care what these over zealous plastic baboons actually think? I believe not, these 'workers' may ALDI checkout operators look like hard workers, the ones that sit on the chair at the checkout and move items of the reader and leave them there and gripe when you can't catch up. If they had any smarts they too would be ignoring the travellers on them long steel tubes of destruction

- Graeme of Maroochydore Posted at 13/11/2012 2:17pm
Hmmm So the customers are here because??...ummm Oh yes, the crew are doing us a favour by transporting us somewhere. I used to believe that the staff are employed to enhance the customer's traveling experience - ha ha, I guess I got it wrong
- Whiskey Tango Foxtrot of Posted at 13/11/2012 2:19pm
OMG, how rude of passengers to ask flight attendants to perform a service, if asking them for an extra blanket makes them so angry then they need to assess their attitude. I agree with the talking through the safety demonstration, that is just plain rude.
- Anna of Posted at 13/11/2012 2:19pm
Working in the industry, it's pretty annoying when passengers treat us like idiots, and then complain constantly. It's all about attitude. Respect the rules and the attendants, and you'll likely get respect and appreciation back. We try to accommodate you, it's not always possible.
- Tony of Sydney Posted at 13/11/2012 2:22pm
Been on many flights, seen all levels of customer service on board and never really bothered me in the slightest as long as the people in the pointy end do their job I arrive safely. If a flight is delayed or cancelled due to a safety issue I have no problem with that, keep me informed and I can travel later. To sit close to people who think the flight attendants are their personal butlers is comical at times but that helps pass the time and can be more entertaining than the movies. To complain about the food, cabin temperature or duty free selection is futile...take it easy and look forward to your destination.
- Ex-Hostie of Melbourne Posted at 13/11/2012 2:25pm
Flight attendants jobs are keeping you safe and assisting you in an emergency. 90% of the training to be a Flight Attendant is safety procedures. Serving you drinks and food and cleaning up the filth that most passengers leave behind is a bonus job that they do. Respect your flight attendant, because if something goes wrong, the first thing they worry about is saving your butt, not what drink you prefer.
- Barry mackenzie of Brisbane Posted at 13/11/2012 2:25pm
I have always had great treatment from flight attendants. I always treat them like I do any other worker, like they are a person and not a job. I have and will continue to ask for a blanket or a pillow, and will always say please, thank you and smile. Treat people how you yourself want to be treated. What I often see is drunk, rude bogans on flights acting like they own the airline and treating these people like dirt. I fly a lot for work, and also overseas on holiday, and have never had an issue.
- Flyer of Brissy Posted at 13/11/2012 2:27pm
Don't ask for a blanket/pillow or drink...god forbid they actually do what they are paid to do. That is your job, attend to the passengers, hence flight attendant.
- Scotty Mac of Posted at 13/11/2012 2:33pm
I would expect nothing less from Australian airlines as they cannot even spell service. Of course you cannot get a blanket as the airlines reduce the number of blankets to save weight and fuel costs. Your well being is none of their concur. Asian airlines always show respect to their passengers. I now eat before I get on planes, as airline food is rubbish. How dare the passenger expect service from airline staff you are interfering in their life.
- Peter of Seville Grove Posted at 13/11/2012 2:37pm
Last time I checked, flight attendants were employed to serve the paying customer, not the other way around. If they don't like there job, then quit and go do something else.
- valerie of woodruffe mullaloo Posted at 13/11/2012 2:38pm
To make sure I get a row of seats to myself I get up and quickly push by my fellow passengers and let off an evil smelling fart in their face as I exit the row and say, Excuse me please, I need to get to the toilet fast!
- gaz of perth Posted at 13/11/2012 2:46pm
'plain rude'... pun is forgiven Whiskey
- T and S of Posted at 13/11/2012 2:47pm
The announcement to passengers should include: "As flight attendants we are highly sensitive and highly strung people with little tolerance and short fuses. Therefore, to avoid our considerable wrath, sit down, face the front, shut up and avoid eye contact with us. Otherwise you will subjected to sarcasm, verbal abuse and ridicule. Enjoy the flight and be grateful for whatever service we deem appropriate."
- Dom of Sydney Posted at 13/11/2012 2:47pm
I'm a flight attendant and I take pride in my work and the service I provide my passengers, as I know my colleagues do. I disagree with the nonsense in this 'survey'.

Dont dare to ask a flight attendant to get you something! haha Its only their job after all. Sorry but we pay over a thousand dollars for some economy flights with terrible food, uncomfortable seats and no room to breath! If i want a blanket ill ask for one!
- Flyboy of Sydney Posted at 13/11/2012 2:52pm
I work as a long haul flight attendant and it all comes down to manners. If people are polite I will bend over backwards to help them. If someone says 'I want a coke' then yes we get annoyed. If your first choice of meal is not available unfortunately this cannot be helped. Having a tantrum and abusing the crew will not do you and favors. People seem to forget that we do not have a supermarket on board. If u want additional or specific food then bring some extra. Also if you bring a suitcase as carry on luggage then don't be surprised when there is no room in the overhead lockers for it. By far the most frustrating thing is passengers getting up as soon as the plane lands. News flash you will not get off the plane any faster. Just stay seated until you are told to get up.
- Trichosurus Vulpecula of Melbourne Posted at 13/11/2012 2:53pm
People taking too much carry on luggage on board is very annoying. If everyone carried the appropriate sized bag on board there would be no issues with overhead locker space. Last week I saw a passenger carry 3 large bags that would have easily been in excess of 7 kilos on board and take up a whole locker to themselves.If you can't afford the extra $24 to check bags in (when traveliing with certain carriers) then you can't afford to travel.
- James of Sydney Posted at 13/11/2012 2:55pm
Bollocks to the safety argument. 99% of the job is customer service with a smile (and lets be honest, to look good while doing it). Otherwise, airlines wouldn't have such stringent grooming, uniform and other presentation regulations. Or do you actually expect us to believe that the leggy blonde got the job because she is the best at 'safety'???
- Flighty of Brisbane Posted at 13/11/2012 2:57pm
As a Flight Attendant, I love my job. But imagine if you will someone poking you or pulling at your uniform to get your attention. I have a name badge for a reason. Talking through a safety demo IS rude, and its done to REMIND you about SAFETY. Yelling at me because Air Traffic Control have put the aircraft into a 40 minute holding pattern isn't nice. The pilots are only doing what they are told. I know you are delayed, but there is nothing I can do about it. There is a "seatbelt sign" for a reason. Whenever it is on, it means stay seated with your seatbelt on. Why complain about it? I have been injured before in severe turbulence before, its not nice to be off work for weeks recovering, trust me. The sign is there for your safety. I make sure both me and my crew offer the highest service at all times, but when you have had too much alcohol and you are cut off, we are doing it for both the safety and comfort for you and your fellow passengers. While you are a paying passenger, remember, the customer is not always right. I am a consumer too, and I have been wrong before. We are human too. You get more when your nice and less when you are not. :-)
- mark of qld Posted at 13/11/2012 2:59pm
Whats wrong with asking for a blanket?
- Dennis of Posted at 13/11/2012 3:00pm
I take it as it comes. I haven't had any problems with flight attendants in the past. I don't travel now as I'm too old for it and don't like being away from home and the little doggy. She is a real cutie.
- Katharine of Australia Posted at 13/11/2012 3:02pm
If the main reason they're there is for our safety, then they wouldn't have to stick to strict rules that govern their appearance. Safety is a must just in case anything goes wrong - until then they should provide a service just like anyone else in hospitality and tourism.
- RG of Qld Posted at 13/11/2012 3:04pm
I've never had a problem with flight attendants and I've travelled a lot on different airlines. Exercising patience, manners and a smile has always worked wonders for me.
- Richard of Melbourne Posted at 13/11/2012 3:11pm
Most flight attendants do a great job and make my trips much better. I doubt there is any industry you can survey where at least 8% dislike an aspect of the job.
- Chris of Brisbane Posted at 13/11/2012 3:13pm
I would never dream of snapping my fingers or talking through the safety presentation, but hang on a sec...flight attendants resent being asked for a blanket or pillow, or a specific drink? And may I ask whom else a person should refer to if other passengers have filled up the overhead lockers? The captain? It sounds to me as if the ladies need a refresher course on the meaning of the word 'attendant'!
- Steve H of East Brisbane Posted at 13/11/2012 3:14pm
Sounds like flight attendants need to pull their heads in and do the job they are getting paid to do.
- matt of Adelaide Posted at 13/11/2012 3:15pm
Thanks for telling me exactly how to get on their nerves...just like any service industry it is their job to make sure we are comfortable As customers we shouldnt be worried about "offending" them by asking for a pillow or a blanket
- lolwat of Posted at 13/11/2012 3:17pm
Will, they are only there to help in an emergency?? Surely Qantas should be making all the glorified waitresses redundant, if that were the case!
- SAW of Posted at 13/11/2012 3:19pm
Like I care what annoys flight attendants. They should worry more about what annoys me (the customer). Things like, waiting forever for someone to take my rubbish away and eventually putting it in the pocket in front of me out of frustration! Or not having a blanket handy and having to crawl across 2-3 people to get it! Or for no good reason, being told to sit their like a muppet for 5 minutes after the aircraft has stopped apparently needing to keep a seat belt on?! Not being able to find space for my hand luggage! What about, waiter(ess)es... err I mean attendants, who avoid eye contact so you can't order a drink (did they have somewhere else they needed to be?). What about attendants that forget they are there to specifically provide customers with service. Now do your jobs and smile flight nicely staff - you've got work to do!
- Icarus of Posted at 13/11/2012 3:19pm
This is the funniest thing I have read in ages. For the most part flight attendants are great but I have had some nightmares. On a United Flight I had a hostess with her arm in a sling give the safety announcement ! Afterward she asked me if I could help her in the event of an emergency - at least she had a sense of humor. On another flight the seatbelt sign was left on for 4 hours after the dinner service without a trace of turbulence. I asked an attendant if the Pilot had any idea when the âbad weatherâ would end and was told to basically keep quiet. I got up anyway and went to the bathroom fully expecting to be met by Homeland Security when I got to LA such was the wrath of the cabin crew. Curiously the seatbelt sign was turned off a minute later.
- Pavlo of Posted at 13/11/2012 3:32pm
What annoys me: Virgin's inflight menu specifically states that customers are entitled to a free drink (e.g. beer) on flights that depart after 6pm between Australian capital cities (Sydney - Adelaide in this case). On asking for my complimentary drink I was refused - twice. No explanation. So I'll think twice before flying with them again.
- Rob of Perth Posted at 13/11/2012 3:33pm
I had always assumed that as the paying customer they were actually there to attend to me... Funny that isn't it...
- H Smith of Posted at 13/11/2012 3:40pm
Yes passengers should be polite when asking for something. Any on board waiter that does not want to help me after being asked politely should be sacked. Plenty of people want your job.
- Mike of Posted at 13/11/2012 3:41pm
Sounds like they went to the Basil Fawlty School of Customer Service.
- Ben adams of Australia Posted at 13/11/2012 3:42pm
Why are we (the customer) made to feel guilty about ordering more drinks?...... hospitality!!!! welcome aboard yes?
- Wazir of Sydney Posted at 13/11/2012 3:43pm
Very funny!!!!! We are not jumping on planes to "please" them. It is their job to serve passengers and look after them and their needs. They get paid for it. If they are not happy with their jobs, no one is begging them to stay.
- Alby of Posted at 13/11/2012 3:46pm
A survey of only 700 Flight Attendants is a joke. It's hardly a reliable survey. It doesn't say which country they are from or which airlines they work for. Qantas alone has over 6000 Flight Attendants and that is just one company. Multiply that by the thousands of airlines word wide and we are talking of Flight Attendant numbers in the millions, so a mere 700 is hardly a realistic survey. It is ridiculous stories like this that encourages both sides to adopt a bad attitude. Really and truly have you every been treated that bad when asking for something?

how about they shut up , stop whinging , and do there jobs, they are paid to ensure the comfort and safety of there passengers , if they dont like it they are in the wrong job! they seem to think they are above everyone , gues what princess , your nothing but over paid hopitality staff! thats right, no different than hotel workers, but at least hotel workers work dam hard , long hours dont constantly whine!
- Frequent Flyer of Perth, WA Posted at 13/11/2012 4:16pm
I think I'm the perfect passenger and put that down to being fortunate enough to have a parent working for a domestic airline while I was growing up. It was instilled in me to look nice, be pleasant and use our manners - particularly as we often travelled in First or Business class as an unaccompanied minor. I now fly twice a week for work and am organised, polite and always follow safety regulations - in fact, I always thank the hosties when I'm disembarking and often get a very surprised reaction. I recently travelled business class on an international flight and the difference in the level of service was amazing, but they also had a smaller number of people to look after who weren't rude, drunk, demanding or expecting them to wait on us hand and foot! I will admit though, although I always travel with a pashmina I can throw over me - if I get cold, I will ask for a blanket...but always say please and thankyou! No-one deserves to be treated rudely and without respect regardless of what their job is.
- Richard of UK Posted at 13/11/2012 4:20pm
Re not my job of Perth. Do your research - a huge percentage (well over 50%) of people survive plane crashes.

Bugger that, I'll do and ask for whatever I want on the flight, the attendant can get over herself, it's her JOB !
- ben of Australia Posted at 13/11/2012 4:35pm
I would not rely on their assistance in an emergency when they take their sweet time when responding to a simple request such as a drink. Hospitality... it's about efficient service!... .................and a smile wouldn't hurt.
- Mandy of Australia Posted at 13/11/2012 4:35pm
It seems really harsh that they hate people asking for extra blankets and pillows. Those airplanes get freeezing on long haul flights. I ask if they have any extra blankets all the time so I don't freeze my butt off (and for the record, i wear warm clothes and bring my big coats to wear as well and it still isnt enough). I didn't know I was being a pain? What is the big deal with this request??
- Alf of Echuca Posted at 13/11/2012 4:37pm
By and large most flight crew attendants are usually quite accommodating if you make any request in a polite manner. What I have seen in the last 20+ years of flying with both work and personal flights is the gradual change in passenger behaviour with the cheap flights being offered especially when flying Virgin and Jetstar. I cringe sometimes and have to move away when waiting in boarding lounges (when I am unable to access the lounge) with the foul mouthed conversations taking place. Also, passenger dress codes have also gone down in line with the cheap fares. I find Asian airlines especially Singapore Airlines attendants just get on with the job and serve meals and drinks in a very thorough manner. Even Garuda is good in that department. Once on board it is usually these same foul mouthed individuals (bogans) that fly once or twice a year that seem to have and display some massive expectation that they should be waited on like royalty.
- Dingo of Wishart Posted at 13/11/2012 4:41pm
Their #1 complaint is passengers who use the call button? Sheesh. How about a list of the top things flight attendants do that annoy passengers? Number 1 for me would be flight attendants getting annoyed at passengers simply expecting them to do their jobs.
- amanda devine of Australia Posted at 13/11/2012 5:02pm
Use manners & common courtesy and you will get all the blankets you want. I travel a lot and seldom do I get a cranky hostie. Although I did have a Major General on a short flight out of LAX. She was scary, but I figured (more like prayed) she was having Satan moment and I would be granted a reprieve from the pits of hell by not ordering a quick drink!!! Give our hosties a break, they do have to deal with the dregs of society now more than ever and it is only going to get worse!!!

- Simon of Oz Posted at 13/11/2012 5:04pm
if they don't help you or you aren't getting your quota of free alcohol for long haul - just help yourself to the bar as I do. Because you're worth it! Or, fake passing out in the aisle whilst you're waiting for the can...they will drag you to the back of the plane and swoon all over you...ahh good times. *remembers well*...thanks Etihad Airways
- Darren of Adelaide Posted at 13/11/2012 5:05pm
Alf of Echuca - Spot On! I'm actually embarrassed at the behaviour of some Australians when overseas. One flight that is especially bad is the Midnight ish Singapore Airlines flight from Changi to Adelaide, that flight is always full of bogans.

Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee will be among the first in the UK to take part in the Cities Strategy.
The £5m pilot scheme will enable 13 cities to develop individually tailored plans to tackle local issues which have stopped people getting into work.
In January the government said it aimed to reduce incapacity benefit claimants by one million within a decade.
Under the cities strategy, funding for services like training and skills will be distributed locally.
Cities that have been successful in meeting government targets will be eligible for additional funding.
Work and Pensions Minister John Hutton said the scheme would replace the "one-size-fits-all welfare state" with tailored help for local initiatives.
About one in 10 adults in Scotland receive incapacity benefit, with 60,000 claimants in Glasgow alone.
Critics of the current system have claimed there is little incentive or support to come off the benefit.
Glasgow has already undertaken its own pilot, with benefit payments continuing in some parts of the city while recipients retrain for work.
Jim Murphy, the minister for employment and welfare reform, told BBC Radio Scotland that claimants had too often been "put on the scrapheap and forgotten about".
"There may be a small number of people who want to take the money and not work," he said.
"But all the research shows that when people are asked confidentially if they want to work, they say they do.
"Scotland is the only place in the UK where the number of people on incapacity benefit has fallen over recent years.
"That's to be welcomed but we have to go further."
Steven Purcell, leader of Glasgow City Council, said that up to a third of the city's incapacity claimants were "capable of being in work and wanted to be in employment".
"If we can get the package right, the financial support and the training right, it will have a significant impact on our communities and the city's economy," he said.
Mike Weir MP, work and pensions spokesman for the Scottish National Party, gave the scheme a cautious welcome but warned that sufficient funding was essential for it to succeed.
He said: "The basic idea of providing local schemes to meet local conditions is a good one and I will be very interested to see how these pilots work out.
"In as much as the scheme seeks to overcome the barriers to work, it is welcome but it must be properly funded to tackle the many barriers to work that people on incapacity benefit face.
"I remain concerned, however, that the government continue to see the reduction in incapacity benefits as a cost cutting measure rather than a real attempt to get people back to work."
Jim McColl, chairman of partnership body Glasgow Welfare To Work Forum, said: "We are very pleased that Glasgow has been given City Strategy status and see this as a rubber-stamping of the work we have been doing over the last three years which has already resulted in over 15,000 people coming off benefits and into employment."
Councillor Ian Perry, chairman of Edinburgh's Capital City Partnership, said its involvement was recogniton of the success of the city's Joined up for Jobs strategy, established in 2002.
He said: "We have argued over those years that the key to making big improvements to the services for jobseekers and employers lies in giving greater powers and discretion to local partnerships.
"I am delighted that, partly through our example, this argument has been accepted by the government."

ORLANDO, Fla. - If you're having trouble getting an appointment with your doctor, you're not alone.
Doctors offices across central Florida are packed as patients try to get in before the new year.
"I was able to get one so I was happy," said Rachel Dagan, who drove down from Tallahassee for her appointment at Eye Associates of Winter Park.
She said she is home from school, looking to use her insurance money to buy new frames before she loses it.
Office Manager Christy Copley says they're booked solid until January 3, and the waitlist to see a doctor before then is a mile long.
"A lot of people who have insurance, that's about to turn over, people who have flexible spending accounts- they're all trying to get in," she said.
Even foot doctors are running out of appointments. Dr. Gideon Lewis, a foot and ankle surgeon, has been in the operating room day and night.
He says several of his patients are getting their procedures done before the new year, because they are unsure how Obamacare will effect them.
"I think right now everyone understands their insurance plans or at least knowing there's changes, they're getting more educated on what their plan offers, however, next year, there's such a big question mark, that they're trying to get as much done on a plan that they're familiar with," he said.

On nonparametric classification with missing covariates
General procedures are proposed for nonparametric classification in the presence of missing covariates. Both kernel-based imputation as well as Horvitz-Thompson-type inverse weighting approaches are employed to handle the presence of missing covariates. In the case of imputation, it is a certain regression function which is being imputed (and not the missing values). Using the theory of empirical processes, the performance of the resulting classifiers is assessed by obtaining exponential bounds on the deviations of their conditional errors from that of the Bayes classifier. These bounds, in conjunction with the Borel-Cantelli lemma, immediately provide various strong consistency results.

I Am AmazedWhenever i think of what soul shattering abuse it took to totally spilt a personality I am amazed by the sweet loving alters I have met in this group... even though we have survived hell and back we all came out with caring kind child alters...
I do have some bad/mean alters but I think they represent the abusers not me... and some are just scary shadows afraid to come out in the light... but all my children alters from 2, to 8 are so sweet and helpful even when they are scaried they ask if it is ok if hubby is alright? If he needs a hug? They are very polite and ask even before getting a bowl of cereal for snack time...
I like my child alters and try to let them watch cartoons or sleep with a teddy if they have too... I think it is my responsiblity to take care of them now and show them the love they never got before.
Paul 28 one of elder's alters
My husband recently told me that he has multiple personalities and is furious at me because I confided in a friend....I had no one else to talk to and was in shock.
Now, this friend has told other people and my husband blames me for not keeping his secret. I´m beside myself with sorrow. I don´t know what to do. I keep telling him how sorry I am and how much I love him. He is in therapy. What can I do? I think he wants to keep it secret because he doesn´t want to be this way and doesn´t like himself. When he´s not upset like this he is normally a very sweet gentle person. New alters have been appearing in the last couple of months. We have been married for 18 years and have a teenage daughter who totally accepts him and was the one that noticed his personalities. One of them is a teenage girl. I´m so frightened right now, because he doesn´t trust me and is very angry with me.
I have 18 alters, the newest came out for the first time yesterday. My little ones has been dormant in my body for 12 years, and it's scaring me to see them now waking up. I'm currently battling a drug addiction, and probably had a head trauma from it over the weekend. It's stressful right now.
Anyway, thanks for sharing.
wow 28 !!! I thought my wife had many altars. she has at least ten that I have met and others I don't know about but have been told. Here to listen if you need a hand !!
One of my alters is 6 or so. Not completely sure the exact age with her. She's only ever comes out when shes playing with the little ones at family events, but only when it's okay with me and the other alters. She is very sweet and I am told she speaks in third person. She is very kind and loving. She is the only little one in my group. And by far the kindest. And I have also been told she sucks on her pinky. She is my happiness.
like I am for elderwitch I am Here to listen if you need a hand !!
yes I am amazed with mine. Mines used to show up every night before I went to bed and I finally asked her what she wanted because it was frequent and she said she wanted a hug or kiss good night before she went to bed. aww how cute, I am amazed how simple her needs are. she comes out occasionally to experience good emotions or when someone else is feeling bad she comes out to comfort them and sometimes she even omes out to comfort me. If I am having flash backs or whatever she will come out wanting to play with me. and I just learned recently that my alters also went to spend time with me and will get jealous if I do not spend regular time with them. they want to chat with me, watch tv with me and etc. it is hard to make time for all of them lol
lucky you.. guess it helps to have a husband? There is a guy who wants to marry me someday should I do it? m angry alter doesn't let me get close to guys and is very picky with males. only some certain males make her feel comfortable or less threatned. I may do better with my alters if I was married ?
I am glad u r all one big happy family that is great. Ad yea marriage can be a stressor I guess everything in life can be. Blah...he does seem to accept all of them except the angry one and the lesbian one lol. They both make him uncomfortable.
That is so sweet. Child alters are very loving. All they want is acceptance and to be loved. They do try so hard to please. I loved all my hubby's alters. They are newly integrated and I do miss them bunches.
Thanks it's a work in progress and yes I do still see them.

I love your attitude towards your littles, yes everyones child alters are adorable and went through such alot. My friends littles are so cute and so polite and when we went to London from Africa on a holliday they would come out when we did fun things like the London Eye and toy shops etc. It gives us pleasure to see the smile on their little faces and bring joy in their lives where befor there was only sadness.

Yay for the little ones!!! I have been told that mine are cute. : P
I'm sure they are! one of my friends littles came out this w end and I was shopping and she said she would like an ice-cream so I bought us both a magnum that she chose but now she had the handbag and car keys. So she teased me that she could drive (6yrs) and I gentley took the keys from her and she just laughed and said she would go now and eat her icecream later. I luv her to bits.

"The Walking Dead" Zombies Coming To Your TV Set
Now that vampires have gotten the stake, give a point to zombies as the hot new underworld phenomenon to fascinate audiences. Our beloved AMC, the network that brings us "Mad Men," has a new show in the works based on Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead." The amazing black and white comic has come out monthly since 2003 and was a hot commodity almost immediately, so of course it sparked a bidding war. Good thing AMC won. "Walking Dead" tells the story of a band of survivors trying to find a safe sanctuary in a post-apocalyptic zombie-run world. Frank Darabont, who wrote "The Green Mile" and "The Shawshank Redemption," is set to write, direct, and executive produce … which proves the network is taking this venture seriously. Senior VP of Original Programming, Joel Silverman says, "I don't know of another series of books that has such beautiful storytelling, great human emotions and everything that really works on AMC. It allows us to stay where we want to stay: in the world of smart, sophisticated storytelling and apply that to a show that we think the audience would love." We're hoping they can bring the sexy back to the undead.

IC's Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts Update
Contributed by Deborah Mohlenhoff on 09/09/05
At a meeting on Thursday, September 8, the campus community came together to begin planning Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. Here are ways you can get involved. If you are interested in serving on any of the planning committees for these projects, e-mail Deb Mohlenhoff at email@example.com.
ALS-ARC Strive for Five
The African-Latino Society (ALS) is collaborating with the American Red Cross at Ithaca College to raise money for victims of Hurricane Katrina in the Strive to Give 5 campaign. The goal is to have every person on the IC campus contribute $5. There are 7,000 people on campus, so we anticipate raising $35,000.
Donation tables are in the Campus Center lobby and the Textor hallway; they will also be at home football games.
Fund-Raising Events and Initiatives--Planned
1. A Mardi Gras party, with non-alcoholic beverages, Cajun-themed food, and jazz music; proceeds will benefit the relief effort.
2. Adopting a college or elementary school in the area: there are not many details available right now regarding this type of effort. This would be a good project and is under discussion for the spring semester as we see what needs emerge from the area.
3. A benefit concert combining local musical groups and talent, tentatively scheduled for the end of October.
4. SOS -- Songs of Support: Ithacappella is coordinating a statewide effort of a cappella concerts to occur on October 1 across New York.
5. Storytelling Relief Response similar to Story Tsunami, coordinated by Lee-Ellen Marvin, speech communication. More information can be found at http://storytsunami.org/.
6. Jazz concert: scheduled for September 20 and coordinated by Ithaca alum Jennifer Lawrence Birnbaum 94.
If you are interested in joining a planning committee for any of these events, e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 274-1380.
Note: We are hoping to divert some of the money we raise to the campus Emergency Relief Fund, housed in the Office of the Chaplains, to assist IC students, faculty, staff, and families who were directly affected.
Other Initiatives
Helping Transferred Students
The Peer Volunteer Corps (PVC) is taking the lead on getting incoming students settled on campus. They will be working with the students to determine food, clothing, book, and other needs and providing assistance to get them settled and caught up on campus. Stephanie Simon of the Peer Volunteer Corps and Deb Mohlenhoff, their adviser, are coordinating these efforts.
Travel to the Area
The Center for Student Leadership and Involvement and the Peer Volunteer Corps (which already sponsor alternative spring break trips) are looking into the possibility of a coordinated spring break trip to the affected area. This is still a LARGE unknown and will not be confirmed until November. Alternative spring break applications will be available October 10 from the CSLI website (https://www.ithaca.edu/csli/) and are due December 1. Applications for the trip are on a first-come, first-served basis and are $250 per person, with a $50 nonrefundable deposit due at the time the application is turned in. Students may not be given their first choice of sites.
The Peer Volunteer Corps will also be coordinating a campuswide CAN AND BOTTLE DRIVE, with all proceeds going to offset the costs of spring break trips to the area. The money will be split with Habitat for Humanity trip participants. In addition, Habitat for Humanity is planning a trip to the affected area and will be working with the CSLI office.
Note: There is no need to travel independently to the area. The American Red Cross provides disaster training to anyone interested in formally volunteering. Please visit http://www.redcross.org/ for more information.
Staying Connected to Hurricane Relief Efforts
Join the Ithaca College Katrina Relief list-serve at http://lists.ithaca.edu/. The list is open to all interested Ithaca College faculty, staff, and students and will be used to update and disseminate information regarding relief efforts. The list-serve name is firstname.lastname@example.com and you can subscribe to it at the website mentioned above.
We have also established a dedicated e-mail address for the Colleges coordinating committee at firstname.lastname@example.com. Use this to send us ideas for fund-raising or to ask questions about campus initiatives.

Blogger Smackdown At AlwaysOn Last night's final panel at the AlwaysOn conference in NYC, "Panel: Can Brands Get Away with 'Buzz Marketing' in the Blogosphere?", was the best session so far at this show.

Mobility At AlwaysOn: If You Personalize It Will They Come? Mobility took the stage this morning at the AlwaysOn Media conference in New York City.

Are cell phones too personal a space to hit with marketing messages? The panelists agreed that a couple of factors will contibute to the success of mobile marketing. The first is the personal connection consumers have w
PTT By the Minute?!? Correct me if I am wrong here, but wasn't the major premise of push-to-talk technology (PTT) that it would help save people (enterprises) money by allowing them to avoid using their monthly minute allotment because they were using the walkie-talkie instead? If so, AT&T's new plan to allow customers to use PTT on a per-minute basis negates the entire appeal. Sorry, but if I have to pay by the minute to use the PTT s
And Away We SVGo! Yesterday in NYC the Mobile Monday organization hosted a half-day seminar on scalable vector graphics (SVG). According to the fine collection of speakers the little group huddled at the Samsung Experience had the pleasure of listening to, this tiny little computer language is promising to revolutionize the mobile web experience. Some day. The take-away message for the afternoon was: SVG is grrrrrrate!
Hello, Vista. Good-bye Tablet OS? In case you didn't know, Microsoft's Vista operating system launches today. Though there are 80 gazillion different versions of Vista, I didn't see any of them labeled "Tablet OS". What gives, Ballmer?

Major Vista Facts? Please! There's an article floating around the Internet today called "Facts About Windows Vista."

C'mon, Reuters. You call this news? The entirety of their article tells us this: new look, easier search, g
Is Palm Losing Its Grip on Business Customers? With tight integration to back-end systems becoming more and more necessary, is Palm OS on the verge of extinction? As nifty as the Palm OS is to use, it seems fewer and fewer businesses take it seriously, opting instead for Microsoft-based platforms. There was a time when I was addicted to my Treo 650. It was my first qwerty keyboard device, but more than that, it was my first smartphone. I loaded it chock full of contacts, synced it with my calendar, stuck some tunes and applications on there

Nokia Mobile Enterprise Still Losing Money Nokia's enterprise group, Nokia Enterprise Solutions, is still in the red. Why can Nokia make so much money off its core business of cell phones, but not from business mobility? Is it that mobile enterprise is still the little engine that could? Or is the company's focus off? To be fair, Nokia said that it expects its mobile enterprise business to
"Cough! Cough!" Yes, That Was Your Smartphone Wheezing At You Believe it or not, the first mobile viruses began appearing back in mid-June 2004. The Cabir worm and Mosquito Trojan both targeted smartphones that run the Symbian Series 60 operating system, which is the most widely used smartphone platform across the world. Others targeting Windows Mobile appeared later. Should the enterprise be concerned? Hell, yeah!
HP, Alas, Why Did Ye Stray? That the weight of the spying scandal continues to cause small implosions and aftershocks over at HP isn't terribly surprising. What does surprise me is the lack of a battle cry from other journalists and the complete silence from HP's press team.

Sure The iPhone Is Cool But I Want A Google Phone While everyone was busy this week talking about the iPhone, I was left alone wondering: Where is the Google Phone?
I've Been Waiting For The iPhone For Three Years And It's Still Not Here I have covered the wireless industry for almost seven years. And in that time I have spent three years writing about the Apple iPhone. But how, you may ask, have I spent so much time writing about a device that wasn't announced until yesterday?
iPhone Hype: I Just Don't Get It Reading up on the Apple iPhone, I'm not seeing what's so exciting about it, and I'm even tempted to say that the thing is going to sink like a lead balloon and everybody who's jazzing about it now is going to feel foolish in a year. It's a cell phone that's also an iPod that does the Internet and takes pictures. Why is that exciting?

Le Manh Ha, deputy chairman of the People's Committee in Ho Chi Minh City on Thursday issued heavy penalties and revoked licenses of 11 petrol stations in the City that were indulging in fraudulent business practices.
Mr. Ha made the decision at a meeting he chaired with relevant departments on action against the 11 petrol stations which had been found selling low quality gasoline to consumers.
Accordingly, the petrol stations will pay a maximum fine of VND30 million (US$1,430) and lose their business licenses for a period of 12 months.
Decisions to this effect will be sent to the businesses by January 1 next year, Ha said.
Authorized organizations will continue to examine 518 other petrol stations in the city.

US 2 reduced to one lane for five days next week in Sultan
Date: Thursday, March 29, 2012
Contact: Meghan Pembroke, WSDOT communications, 206-440-4704 (Shoreline)
Tim Nau, assistant project engineer, 425-225-8726 (Everett)
UPDATE: The closure has been rescheduled due to a wet forecast. Weather permitting, the closure will take place Sunday, April 8 – Friday, April 13.
SULTAN – For students, spring break means sleeping in, catching up with friends or maybe even a sunny vacation. But for drivers on US 2 next week, spring break will mean a traffic headache when crews reduce the highway in Sultan to a single lane for 107 hours while they finish building a new roundabout at Rice Road.
Weather permitting, Lakeside/Tri-State Construction crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will reduce US 2 at Rice Road to one lane around the clock from 7 p.m. Sunday, April 8, to 6 a.m. Friday, April 13, when they'll open the new roundabout to traffic. Flaggers will direct both directions of US 2 through the work zone.
"Unfortunately, the closure is going to be especially difficult for local drivers," said Janice Fahning, WSDOT project engineer. "We purposely scheduled it during spring break so we could avoid impacting school bus routes and parents dropping off and picking up their kids. But we still expect to see long delays if we don't get help from drivers."
About 14,000 vehicles travel this stretch of US 2 each day. Squeezing all of them through a single lane will cause significant delays and backups, particularly during the afternoon and evening. If drivers don't divert to other routes or shift their trips, backups could reach two miles in the afternoon and evening, with delays of 90 minutes.
"We know it's not possible for everyone, but if you can, talk to your employer about shifting your schedule or working from home," Fahning said. Local drivers can help minimize delays by avoiding travel on US 2 between 1 and 9 p.m. Cross-state travelers and truckers should consider alternate routes like US 97 and I-90.
During the closure, crews will build the center island and driving lanes of the roundabout, put down the first layer of pavement, and install new lighting, striping and signs. Crews will finish final paving and striping in early summer when temperatures are warmer.
The single-lane roundabout at the US 2/ Rice Road intersection is designed to help reduce the risk of serious collisions, particularly those involving drivers turning on and off the highway.
The intersection saw 20 collisions from 2006 to 2010, 11 of which involved turning vehicles. The intersection was also the site of a fatal collision in February 2010 and serious injury collisions in August 2010 and January 2012, all involving turning vehicles.
This project is part of a $10 million investment to reduce serious collisions on US 2 between Monroe and Gold Bar. For graphics and construction information, visit www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/US2/RiceRoadSafety.

A motorcyclist was killed this morning after colliding with another vehicle on Interstate 20 near the Belair Road exit in Columbia County, according to the county coroner.
Larry Thomas White, 61, of the 600 block of Honeysuckle Road in Gainesville, Ga., was pronounced dead at the scene at about 9:45 a.m., said Columbia County Coroner Vernon Collins.
The accident occurred near the exit 194 overpass on I-20 at about 9 a.m., Mr. Collins said.
Mr. White was driving a 2006 Harley Davidson bike and failed to see slow-moving traffic ahead in a construction zone, said Columbia County sheriffs Sgt. A.J. Lyons. Mr. White braked and slid into the rear end of a Nissan Frontier, Sgt. Lyons said. Mr. White was thrown from the bike, causing his body to hit the back of a car, he said.
I just dont think he saw what was happening in time, Sgt. Lyons said.
Mr. White died of blunt force trauma to the head, Mr. Collins said. No one else was injured.
The wreck temporarily halted traffic on I-20.

I have had this forever and can't believe that I haven't reviewed it! To see the colors together-you might wonder if they go together. The liner is a dusty rose/nude rose color, and the lipcolor is a brighter pink. Worn together, they are a great pink color. I top it with some cotton candy gloss and it is perfect. The wear of these are pretty good, price is average for what you get. Overall a good color and I may repurchase if I ever use it up!

PIO notes: Buckley standing tall
Mustangs slugger amassing home runs with towering power
By Greg Rachac / Special to MLB.com | August 18, 2011 6:00 AM ET
Still, Billings slugger Sean Buckley doesn't back down from admitting his desire to win the Pioneer League's home run title. For the Reds' sixth-round pick in the 2011 Draft, it would mean an awful lot.
"Of course it would. Definitely," Buckley said. "Although I try not to let it get on my mind.
"If you try and hit home runs, you're probably just going to end up striking out. So I'm just trying to get good pitches, put good swings on them and hit balls hard. That's about all."
With 13 home runs entering Thursday, Buckley was tied for the league lead with Orem's C.J. Cron and Missoula's Jon Griffin. He's also inching closer to the club record of 20, set in 2007 by fellow third baseman Brandon Waring.
Buckley, who is batting just under .300, has hit some towering shots this season, including a crucial two-run blast in a 4-1 victory against Great Falls last Wednesday at Dehler Park in Billings. That one cleared the batter's eye in center field, which rises well above the 408-foot marker. The homer was estimated at 440 feet.
"That was amazing," Billings manager Pat Kelly said. "I knew he hit it good, and the outfielder didn't break real quick on it. But you kept expecting it to hit the batter's eye, and all of the sudden it didn't come back."
Though Buckley has proven to be a quality addition to the Reds organization, it wasn't meant to happen this way.
Buckley's father, Chris, is Cincinnati's senior director of amateur scouting, meaning he has a good deal of input when it comes to whom the Reds select -- or don't -- each year in the Draft.
Naturally, neither Chris nor Sean wanted to be paired in the same organization. Neither of them wanted to invite accusations of nepotism from certain circles. But as Sean slid to the sixth round, Chris was eventually talked into the selection.
"It wasn't the father-son" factor, Chris Buckley told MLB.com in June. "We had a number of guys see him, and they wanted to do it. At first, I was hoping he would be drafted by a different team. But our guys kept telling me I was being too tough on him."
Chris Buckley, no doubt, is proud of the way his son has performed to this point. And Sean has done himself proud, too.
"People can think or say what they want to say," he said. "But when it comes down to it, you just have to do what the Reds thought you were going to do by picking you, just proving that they made a good decision in investing in you.
"So far, it's gone well. I've had a lot of fun. The coaches are great, the teammates are great. ... I think it's worked out pretty well so far."
Keep on cycling: Orem's Jerod Yakubik and Idaho Falls' Daniel Mateo each hit for the cycle Saturday. Yakubik and Mateo joined Casper's David Kandilas, Helena's Yadiel Rivera and Orem's Taylor Lindsey as members of the cycle club this year. Prior to this season, there hadn't been a cycle in the Pioneer League since 2007.
No decision: Blair Walters didn't get the decision Saturday in the Voyagers' 8-5 victory over Billings, snapping a seven-start win streak for the Great Falls southpaw. Walters is 7-0 this season with a 2.55 ERA in 10 appearances, including nine starts.

Some information here might be useful for our Type 1 members.
NY Times Health Guide for Aug 6th (Type 1)
Discipline is never an end in itself, only a means to an end. (RF)
Thanks! The susceptibility to heat exhaustion is quite timely here in Texas. Not sure I agree though....I've been sweating buckets, and supplement with runs through sprinklers and even ice myself down midway through longer runs. Probably TMI, but ice in the sports bra works wonders!
My mind is dwelling on the ice in the bra idea. Maybe ice in my shorts would help. NOT
Ha! Yep....but you could get yourself a sports bra to stuff with ice too....might make for a whole different kind of issue though ! Seriously, I put much of the ice on the side....kinda under my armpits, and it really does have a nice cooling effect for the next mile or two. I sound like a drink, shaken not stirred, but it beats heat exhaustion!
Was thinking of your post while watching the news last night and hearing how Texas has been straining under the heat. Are you experiencing triple digits where you are?
The air here in NY is just beginning to have a hint of autumn in it. Daytime high is in the low 80s and nights in the 60s. Wish I could send some of it your way.
Hey John, I'm totally jealous! Yes, we are still hitting the triple digits daily. We have also set a record for most days with lows over 80 degrees, so there is not even much relief in the early morning. I'm allowing myself one treadmill run per week just to get a break from it. My first olympic distance tri is on 9/5, and I'll likely be in the last wave, so praying for a cool front and/or lots of ice on the run course.
Wow, Carol! Can't imagine. Last month we spent some time at the outer banks of North Carolina and most days it was high 90s and running was tough. Although running on the beach was quite pleasant. You can get your shots in when it is winter up here and I try to figure out what to wear when temps are in the teens or 20s and there is a snow pack. John

Were you fooled by this advert for a new car that gives dogs an electric shock if they wee on its wheels?
Loads of newspapers printed it to fool their readers into thinking it was a real car, designed by Doctor Hans Zoff... Get it?!
No-one knows why we play pranks on April 1, but as usual there were plenty of tall stories to look out for.
Did you hear the one about Gordon Ramsay, or maybe you spotted some Doctor Who baddies out and about?
Top chef Ramsay is famous for using bad language.
And it wasn't just newspapers enjoying the fun.
Doctor Who
BBC Radio Four also tricked listeners by saying that an expert had said there were too many foreign birds in Britain, so there were plans to catch them all and send them back to Europe.
People at Gloucester Council were sent an email asking them to come to work dressed as a Doctor Who baddie, so they could appear in the new series!
But thankfully, no-one fell for it.

A poptastic idea has helped send South Craven School students to the regional finals of an enterprise competition.
The teenagers created a new healthy juice drink for the Real Business Challenge, set up by Coca-Cola Enterprises.
The challenge began as an assignment for year nine students, who were split into four groups to form companies and develop new drinks brands.
Each group made a PowerPoint presentation to a panel of staff, and the winning drink was called Fruits With Smiles.
A school spokesman said: "The students took it very seriously and embarked on market research, product testing, and research into packaging, pricing, branding and finance decisions.
"They even made a selection of juices, aimed at a particular market, which they tested on students and teachers."
In the winning group, which will attend the regional finals this month, were David Hopkins, Niamh Fearnley, Sophie Hodgson, Lucy Lonsdale, Rosie Whiteoak, Mehan Hickman-Grey and Felicia Sutton.

Legendary stage and screen actor Ben Gazzara lost his battle with pancreatic cancer Friday, his lawyer Jay Julien told the New York Times. He was 81.
Originating the role of Brick Pollitt in Broadway's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in 1955, the method actor went on to perform on the Great White Way as drug addict Johnny Pope in A Hatful of Rain. His role in Rain earned Gazzara his first of three Tony Award nominations.
Making a splash on the small screen in 1965's Run for Your Life, Gazzara received two Emmy nominations during his three-year stint on the series.
In the years since Run for Your Life wrapped, the actor often teamed with pal John Cassavetes on projects including The Killing of a Chinese Bookie and Opening Night.
More recently, Gazzara appeared in The Thomas Crown Affair, The Big Lobowski and costarred alongside Nicole Kidman in 2003's Dogville.
He is survived by his brother, wife and two children.

DIY Thigh High Socks/Stockings
Since we are finally getting warmer weather I thought it might be time to start hoarding all the sweater tights that are on clearance and making a tonne of these! They are a major staple for the mid-level weather. PLUS these things are not easy to find in a regular store, well, at least that has been my experience. On to the tutorial!
Thick or Sweater Stockings (Found mind at Target!)
1″ Elastic
Fabric Scissors
Sewing Machine
Safety Pin
Straight Pins (Optional)
Step 1: Lay your pair of tights on a flat surface. Using your fabric scissors, cut across the very top of where the torso meets the leg. Do this for both legs. Shorten depending on where you would like your thigh-highs to sit on your thigh.
Step 2: Set the top of the tights aside and one of the legs to concentrate on one leg. Take the elastic that you have and wrap it around the part of your thigh you would like the thigh-highs to hit. Ensure that the elastic is tight enough to stay put on your leg but not so tight that it cuts off your circulation. Snip the elastic at the appropriate length and copy this length for a second cut of elastic.
Step 3: Put the elastic aside. Take the top of the leg you are currently working on and put it inside out. Measure down 1 1/2″ from the cut edge. Fold towards the wrong side equally around at the 1 1/2″ mark. (See video if you would like a less confusing demonstration).
Step 4: Stretching the fabric as you go, sewing along the cut edge of the fold you just made with a zigzag stitch to make a casing for the elastic. Make sure to leave about an inch open to put the elastic into.
Step 5: Taking one piece of elastic, attach a safety pin to one end. Push the elastic through the casing while holding the safety pin. Pull the safety pin out the other side, ensuring that the elastic has not twisted. Push whatever elastic is left on the outside of the casing into it by stretching the top of the leg.
Step 6: Take both ends of the elastic and sew them together flat with a zigzag stitch.
Step 7: Sew the opening of the casing closed using a zigzag stitch. Sew around the casing once more, making sure you are sewing on the elastic. Be sure to stretch the elastic on both sides as you go so that when you put the thigh-highs on, the thread doesn't break.
Step 8: Repeat all previous steps for the second leg.
If you don't want to waste the top of the tights that you cut off, it could easily be made into a bandeau if you cut off the crotch part. To finish off the raw edge refer to our DIY bandeau blog post!

DIY Bandeau Top (Easy Tank Top Reconstruction)
Here is an easy way to make a perfectly fitting bandeau top from an old tank top. I used the bottom half of the tank top I used for the crop top DIY so you can easily get two tops from one tank top!
Supplies you will need for this project:
-The bottom half of a tank top
-Elastic that is 3/8″ wide or less
-Safety pin
-Seam ripper
-Fabric Scissors
-Sewing Machine
-Fabric pins
-Sewing needle
-Matching Thread
-Fabric Marker or Chalk
Step 1: Figure out how long you would like your bandeau to be. If you would like it to be closer to a bandeau bra, measure on your body what the shortest possible length would be and then add two times the width of your elastic. Draw a line and then cut there one layer at a time.
Step 2: Take your elastic and wrap it around the top of your bust. When you feel like it is the tightness that you want, pinch the spot where you would like to cut and cut it with your fabric scissors. Measure the length of your elastic and set aside the measurement for later.
Step 3: Bring together both ends of the elastic you just cut, ensuring that the elastic has not twisted, and sew across so they are firmly attached. Set this aside.
Step 4: Use the measurement you wrote down earlier and cut another piece of elastic at that length. Take one end of this elastic and attach a safety pin.
Step 5: Take your seam ripper and open up the side seam inside the hem allowance just enough for the elastic to fit inside the hem allowance that is already there. Push the elastic through the casing and full the fabric over top of the elastic as you go. Once the elastic has been fully threaded through the casing, remove the safety pin and sew both ends of the elastic together.
Step 6: Close the casing by whip stitching the spot where you seam ripped open with a thread and needle.
Step 7: Take the elastic that you set aside and mark 4 times equally around the elastic the same way as the DIY crop top tutorial. Pin one marking to the side seam on the inside of the raw edge of the bandeau. Pin the exact opposite marking to the other side seam. Mark the centre front and centre back of the bandeau at the raw edge. Pin the other two markings on the elastic to the centre front and centre back markings.
Step 8: Sew along the raw edge with a zig zag ztitch, stretching the elastic to match the raw edge as you go.
Step 9: Fold over the raw edge towards the inside of the bandeau. Sew with a wider zigzag stitch with the fold touching the 1/4″ mark on the sewing machine. Stretch as you go. This will be the top of the bandeau.
Step 10: Put the bandeau on yourself or a dress form and pinch the top of the centre front about an inch and secure with a safety pin.
Step 11: Take your needle and thread and hand stitch up the centre of the gathered portion. Continue to go through the gathers several times, pulling it tight, until you get the look that you desire. Be sure to knot on the inside of the garment and you're done!

ITALIAN star Daniele De Rossi isn't shy about showing off his hard tackle!
The Roma midfielder is ready to put the boot into Steven Gerrard and Co on Sunday and has a new tattoo making his intentions clear.
De Rossi, 28, boasts a hazard warning sign inked on his calf that translates as 'DANGER! Bone-crunching tackle ahead!'
The hardman, who has numerous colourful tattoos over his body, likes to throw his weight around.
At the 2006 World Cup in Germany, he was sent off for a vicious elbow which left USA and former Fulham striker Brian McBride's face in a bloody mess.
So England's players have been warned… they may get a kick out of De Rossi.

Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport
Initial Review: 12,000 miles on tires
April 27, 2013
This tire is outstanding. Starting the 3rd season with them and they still drive like new. Very sure handling on dry and wet roads, and incredibly quiet. Very significant tread remaining, so wear does not appear to be a problem. These tires replaced the stock Goodyear Eagle LS-2's, which pale in comparison. They did not handle anywhere near as well, were loud, and wore to the point of needing replacement by 30,000 miles.

text: That is the most eco-friendly house on the market! Look at the roof for example… its shape like a pergola has a specific function: on the one hand, it takes the archetype of the context, inserting the project in its environment without disrupting the urban rhythm, on the other hand, it won't accommodate a closed roof that would become a catch-all attic or a wasted space. Another element I found interesting to mention is the structure of the walls… they illuminate the ground floor and they can be optionally removed, tomorrow perhaps working as railings and returning visual link between the two floors.
