text: |We are now living in a visual cultural age, in which visual elements, such as film, photography, TV, advertisement, painting, animation, and sculpture, competitively arise, thus form an inevitable visual cultural trend. Seeing become even more important in this visual cultural age. As one of the most active art critics in England today, John Berger focusing on seeing, reveals the ideological connotation which originally hiding in various cultural phenomenon, and point out the content of seeing for us, that is ideology behind art culture. He also takes photography for example to tell us how to see correctly: co-resisting the invasion of capitalism. As we see, there is a basic thought in his theory of seeing:ideology of seeing. Therefore, based on this point, this paper falls into5chapters:The preface gives a brief introduction to the reason for choosing this issue, the situation of the research, and problems to resolve.Chapter1introduces John Berger and his art criticism. There are various Chinese translations of his art critical works, from which we can know his deep thoughts about art criticism. This chapter gives a main introduction to the basic content and theoretical construct of these works, and also indicate the inner link among these works——"seeing".Chapter2points out that the content of John Berger's seeing is the ideology hiding in various cultural phenomenon. This chapter gives a brief introduction to ideology, and then detailed discusses the seeing ideological connotation revealed in John Berger's art critical practice. He, just like other art critics, also discusses gender consciousness and ethnicity consciousness behind art culture, but differently, his critical focus returns to class consciousness, which is the most fundamental issue about ideology.Chapter3points that John Berger'theory of seeing point out the content of seeing for us, and then tells us how to see:co-resisting the invasion of capitalism.In his point of view, photography, not only contents ideological connotation, but also becomes the important instrument for the combating between individual and historical, that is the reason why he choose the photography for example. After seriously thinking about photography, he calls for our co-resistance, and raises the issue how to realize individual resistance by photography. Therefore, actually, photography is the way that John Berger indicates for us to resist. All his art criticism is provide for co-resistance, meanwhile, John Berger's art criticism itself is also the best example of resistance for us. His art critical content, as well as the critical forms in clear and lucid words, is also the resistance to traditional art critical mysterious discourse.In the end is the conclusion of this paper, in this chapter, we make a summary of John Berger's thought based on raising questions. After gain a relatively clear cognition of John Berger's thought, we try to raise a question:since John Berger consider photography as a meaning of combating between individual and historical and desire for our corporative resistance, is there a transition from individual resistance to corporative resistance? It is impossible in our point of view. However, John Berger chooses to obviate this problem, which is just the weakest point in his theory. However, as Karl Marx says, all the forms and its product cannot be destroyed by spiritual criticism, nor can they melted in the "self-consciousness" or destroyed as "ghost","shadow","caprice", only by actually overthrow the social relation created by the idealist fallacy can we destroyed them. Therefore, John Berger's criticism is the first step, and it is necessary to unite us all, to expose the lie of capitalism, in a manner of revolutionary practice.


text: This ended up the dominant subject of discussion at our dinner tonight with the family and it was kind of fun when it didn't get heated so I thought I'd ask here: What music (bands and/or albums) did you like when you were 15 and do you still like them now? For me: Still Good: Meatloaf-Bat Out of Hell Fleetwood Mac-Rumors Queen- All Van Halen I, II and Fair Warning Floyd, Zeppelin, Beatles and Black Sabbath-All Blue Oyster Cult Yes Take It or Leave It: Styx, Boston, The Police, ELP Put That Away and Step Away From My CD Player!: Kansas Journey REO Speedwagon Jackson Browne The biggest argument we had was over Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell. We were split between it being "so over the top I can't believe I used to like that" to "of course it was over the top, that's why it was and is still so damn good".

This is a lovely romantic print of a man and woman talking over a stone wall, with a dog nearby. It is called Effie Deans and is by the British artist Sir John Everett Millais (1829-1896). The subject of the painting is from "The Heart of Midlothian" by Sir Walter Scott in the 7th Waverley novel. It is said that the model for the girl was Lillie Langtry.
It is in a wood frame of gray and red. It has glass, a white board backing, and a wire for hanging. The history of the image was on the back when purchased.

Ok, no, I am not on tour, but I did play out tonight. To be specific, I drove down the road a little bit to Heidi's Jazz Club for their Sunday jam night. This was my first time there in well over 10 years, so it was like a new thing.
The piano player was the guy who ran the jam, so he is the one I talked to about doing a bit of wholly-improvised music. He just stared for a moment and said, "You don't know any songs?" I explained that isn't really what I do. He was clearly not happy. The bass player was keen on trying a bit free improvisation, but piano player wasn't having it. He said, "You can play a solo."
When he called me up he said, "This guy's going to do a solo piano piece."
I went up and briefly explained what it is I do. I spoke a bit about people who have done Free Jazz in the past like Ornette Coleman and Keith Jarrett. When I thought they were ready, I took a deep breath and dove in.
The reason I was there tonight was to see if I could do what I've been doing in the studio in a live setting. Sure, I've been playing for my friends and family and in music stores. I was trying to see if I could improvise in front of an "audience."
I should mention that I don't normally suffer from stage fright. I have been in bands for years. I made speeches, presentations and training sessions when I was working. I have been in a couple of community theater productions. Actually, I love being on stage. This time though, I was going live with only my skill at improvisation and absolutely nothing prepared.
How did I do? I did exactly what I wanted to do. Once I started, I hit a groove immediately. The piano was great. I had a nice touch, nice sound. The piece I played rolled off my fingers just like other pieces have in the studio. I was completely focused on what I was doing to the extent that I don't even remember how the audience reacted.
Usually in jam sessions each person gets two songs. Sometimes more. Mr Piano Player did not look happy. He said, "That's it. We have a lot of people waiting." There weren't a lot of people waiting. So I walked back to the bar and ordered a beer. The bartender said, "When you mentioned Ornette Coleman, you had me scared. But you played very well. I enjoyed it." Several members of the audience also complemented me.
Jazz in my little beach town is relatively popular, and it is very traditional. I made a little ripple tonight. If I keep going to jam nights, I might make a bigger ripple. In a small town, you don't need a very big ripple to get noticed. Maybe if I can get some of my friends to join me, I will have a better chance.
If you aren't into the technical part of this project, I will say goodnight now. The rest is about hardware.
If you look back at my posts, you will see a brief discussion about the hardware and software I am using on this project. It is a very short list for the reason that the fewer things to go wrong, the more likely I am to succeed.
That was brought home to me last night when I went down to practice. I normally practice on hardware so I don't have to hook up my computer. Last night when I turned on my Kurzweil Micro Piano, it was dead. No heartbeat. No display. No sound. Nothing.
In my mind, I went through all the things that could be wrong. Since the thing is screwed tightly into my studio system, the only possibility I could think of was that the power supply was dead. While I was out today, I picked up a new power supply.
When I got home from Heidi's tonight, I set it up and plugged it in. I turned it on and the thing booted up just like magic. I breathed a sigh of relief. I started playing and …nothing. No sound. The little light that flashes when it receives a MIDI signal from the keyboard was happily flashing away. Just no sound. I eliminated the possibility that some other part was at fault, but no. This means I need to pull my Micro Piano out of its comfortable cubby, and take it apart. There are a very few things I can do from the inside, but I have to try before I take it somewhere and see if I can get fixed.
To be fair, this little box has been playing faithfully for over 20 years now. I am not dissatisfied with its performance, I just need it back and working. Hopefully it is something simple that I can fix.
Now I see it is after 5 am and I need to get some sleep before I grill meat to honor the men and women who have given their lives for our freedom. I know it is a strange custom, but who am I to argue.
Play on.

This is a question we are frequently asked at The Black Dog.
The definition – a moist layer cake made with bananas, pineapple and pecans. The cake is filled and frosted with a cream cheese frosting and garnished with additional pecans.
Contrary to popular belief this cake does not originate from The Hummingbird Bakery in London. Hummingbird Cake is thought to be an authentic Southern American recipe. The exact origin of the name is unknown, with some believing it to be because the cake is sweet like the nectar that hummingbirds feast on.
Here's our recipe should you want to re-create at home (or if you can't be bothered come in and enjoy Amy's instead!)
300g caster sugar, 3 eggs, 300ml sunflower oil, 270g mashed banana, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 300g plain flour, 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, 100g tin of pineapple pieces, 100g pecans chopped (or use walnuts) ,Cream cheese icing (see below for recipe)
Grease and line 3 x 20cm sandwich tins with baking parchment
Preheat oven to 170 ̊C
Put the sugar, eggs, oil, mashed banana and cinnamon in a freestanding mixer (or use handheld mixer) and beat until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Slowly add the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and vanilla extract and continue to beat until everything is well mixed.
Stir in the chopped pineapple and pecan nuts by hand until evenly dispersed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tins and smooth over with a palette knife. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 mins or until golden brown and the sponge bounces back when touched. Leave the cake to cool slightly in the tins before turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
When the cakes are completely cold, put one cake on a stand and spread about ¼ of the cream cheese icing over it with a palette knife. Place a second cake on top and spread another quarter of the icing over it. Top with the last cake and spread the remaining cream cheese icing over the top and sides. Finish with pecan nuts and a light sprinkling of cinnamon.
Cream cheese icing
600g icing sugar, 100g butter at room temperature, 250g cream cheese
Beat icing sugar and butter together in freestanding mixer or handheld mixer slowly until the mixture comes together and is well mixed. Add the cream cheese in one go and beat on medium/high until it is completely incorporated, light and fluffy.

For the third time in as many years, work to restore the City Clock Tower has been halted in tragedy! To the horror of assembled market goers, a child worker fell to his death in the plaza this morning!
The workers downed tools and refused to climb the scaffolds again following the accident. The foreman for the operation, arriving later that day, claimed "superstitious nonsense" to be the problem's root.
He refers of course to the legend of the chief engineer, crushed by his own gears during the tower's construction! As a factual reporter, this paper can only observe that haunted or not, the Clock Tower has staked its claim to infamy!
Location: In the small storage room at the end of the underpass under Stonecutter's Court.

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 677,811 filed on Apr. 16, 1976, now abandoned.
This invention relates generally to agricultural planters which provide means for monitoring the density of seeds planted, and then automatically adjust the seed dispensing drive in response to variations between the monitored seed density and a desired seed density to maintain the desired seed density. More specifically, there is provided herein an improved means for variably driving the seed dispensing means to assure that the actual number of seeds planted corresponds with the desired seed density.
Recent developments in farming techniques include the use of controlled population planters which automatically monitor the seeds dispensed, compare that number of seeds dispensed to a desired seed dispense rate or density and make changes in the number of seeds dispensed to achieve the desired density of seeds planted. See for example U.S. Pat. No. 3,912,121 issued Oct. 14, 1975 to Steffen wherein such a population control device is adapted to an agricultural planter. However, the planter population control devices available to date utilize hydraulic variable speed seed dispensing drive means. These planters utilize hydraulic motors to either directly power the seed dispensing drives or to provide the torque required to accurately drive the seed dispensing drives at the low RPM's encountered in planting operations. These hydraulic motors are in turn powered by a hydraulic pump which utilizes a servo valve to control the operation of the motor. The motor speed and thus the seed dispensing rate are changed through adjusting the servo valve in response to an appropriate signal received from the population control device. When this type of seed meter drive is adjusted to increase or decrease the seed dispensing rate, the motor often oscillates or else is delayed in responding to the servo valve action. Accordingly, the servo valve and hydraulic motor driving the seed dispensing means do not provide an immediate and accurate change to the seed dispensing rate as is dictated by the population control device. This lag in attainment of desired seed dispense rate is generally encountered as adjustments are made to the planting rate or during the start up at each end of the field.
A further problem can be encountered with the servo valve control due to contaminated hydraulic fluid. Servo valves are sensitive to the small amounts of contamination which can enter the hydraulic system during connection and disconnection of the hydraulic lines. The accuracy with which fine adjustments must be made to the hydraulic motor speed can be lost if such contamination enters the fluid lines. These problems become of concern when small or immediate changes in seed dispensing rate are desired, as for example, when the farmer passes between loam-type soils and sandy soils in which different seed populations are desired.
Therefore, it would be desirable to utilize a mechanical transmission in place of the hydraulic transmission now available with population control devices. However, available mechanical pulley transmissions which can be driven at low RPM's by ground-engaging wheels are not capable of maintaining torque transmission over the full range of pulley speed variation to assure precise seed meter speed changes.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved controlled population planter capable of dependably making immediate and precise changes to the seed dispensing rate to correct significant variations between the actual density of seeds dispensed and the density of seeds desired.
It is further an object to provide a variable speed transmission in combination with a controlled population device and mechanically coupled with the planter to drive the seed dispensing meters at the desired rate immediately upon movement of the planter across the ground. The transmission should further be simple and economically operable in the contaminated environment common to agricultural planters. More specifically, it is an object to provide a variable speed pulley transmission capable of transmitting torque over the full range of seed meter operating speeds common to agricultural planters. The pulley belt should be provided with a substantially constant side pressure over that operating speed range to prevent belt slippage and assure precise changes in belt speed.
To provide these abilities, a tension spring is utilized to maintain a substantially constant side pressure on the pulley belt. The amount of side pressure applied can be adjustably varied to permit changes in the range of operating speeds and torque control.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the variable speed seed drive means and the planter components.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the variable speed seed drive means.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view of a slightly modified pulley transmission.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a modified connection between the springs and yoke control arm.
Referring now to the drawings and particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is illustrated the variable speed seed drive 10 and the basic components of the planter necessary to provide a controlled population planter. Included are a mobile frame 12 adapted to be transported over the ground, a ground-engaging drive wheel 14, a ground-engaging distance measuring wheel 16, a means for measuring the distance traveled by the ground measuring wheels 17, a seed hopper 18, a seed dispensing means 20, a seed monitoring means 22 for determining the number of seeds dispensed, a row width preset means 21, a seed dispensing control means 24 including a comparator 25 and a desired density preset 27 and the variable speed seed dispensing drive means 10.
The improved variable speed seed drive means 10 is mounted on the mobile frame 12 and includes a pair of conically-shaped pulleys 26 and 28 nonrotatably mounted on respective shafts 30 and 32. The shaft 30 is mounted on the frame supports 34 and is coupled with the ground-engaging drive wheel 14 by the chain 36 and sprocket 38. The driven shaft 32 is also supported on frame supports 34 axially parallel with the drive shaft 30 and laterally spaced to the rear thereof. It is drivingly coupled through the chain 40 and sprocket 42 arrangement with the seed dispensing means 20. Each pulley 26 and 28 is mounted on its respective shaft in aligned and opposing relation with the other pulley and includes respective fixed disk sections 44 and 45 and respective movable disk sections 46 and 47. The movable disk sections 46, 47 are on opposite sides of the respective pulleys 26 and 28 and oppose the respective fixed disk sections 45, 44 of the other respective pulley 28, 26. An endless V-belt 48 is trained over and around the pulleys to transmit the power from the ground-engaging drive wheel 14 to the seed dispensing drive shaft 50.
Loosely encircling the upper and lower hubs 52, 53 of the movable disk sections 46, 47 are yoke members numbered 56 and 54 respectively. The yoke members 54 and 56 have their ends fixed on vertical rods 59 and 61 respectively which in turn are pivotally mounted on the frame support 34. Rigidly secured to the rods 59 and 61 are yoke control arms 58 and 60. Interconnecting the two yoke control arms 58 and 60 is a tension means or spring biasing means 62. In the modified version illustrated in FIG. 3, the shiftable pulley sheaves 46 and 47 are adjusted by the control arms 60 and 58 which carry abutment surfaces 63 that bear against the outer sides of the sheaves 46 and 47. Since the belt pressure on the pulley sheaves 46 and 47 tends to force them out, pressure need only be exerted inwardly to adjust the sheaves position.
To each yoke member 54 and 56 or abutment surface 63, is connected a means for shifting it through a limited arc about the vertical axis defined by the respective pivot rods 59 and 61. That means includes a reversible electric motor 64 which rotates a threaded shaft or screw 66 mounted on the frame supports 34. The screw 66 has external threads and is passed through internally threaded block 68 which is loosely coupled with the control arm 60. Since the arms 58 and 60 are pivotally anchored to their rods 59 and 61 and thus rotate through respective arcs, a lost motion or loose fitting connection 70 between the linearly moving block 68 and angularly moving arm 60 is required to permit relative movement of the parts as the screw is rotated. To minimize the length of the slot 74 required in the loose fitting connection 70, the control arms 58 and 60 are arranged nearly parallel, see FIG. 3, and the midpoint of the range of pulley adjustment is selected for positioning the control arm 60 nearly perpendicular to the thread 66.
The tension means 62 is connected between the connection 70 and control arm 58 to provide a constant tensioning force urging the disk section 46 against the belt 48. An adjustment screw 76, see FIG. 4, is provided between the springs 62 and control arm 58 to vary the tension preset on the springs 62 and thereby the force exerted by pulley sheave 47 against the belt 48.
In operation, a farmer first determines the desired density of seeds per unit area of ground to be planted. This is determined by the operator when he selects a desired seed spacing and row width. Prior to movement of the implement across the field, the desired seed density and row width figures will be entered onto the desired density preset 27 in the dispensing control means 24 and onto the row width preset means 21. Upon entry of these figures and upon beginning movement of the implement over the field, the ground-engaging wheel 14 will rotate the sprocket 38, chain 36 and drive shaft 30 and the V-belt 48 will be rotated to drive the driven shaft 32. The seed dispensing means 20 will be activated by drive shaft 50 and the seed monitoring means 22 will register the actual seeds dispensed. The control means 24 will receive signals from the seed monitoring means 22 corresponding to seeds actually dispensed, the row width preset means 21 corresponding to width between rows or planter units, the desired seed density preset means 27 corresponding to desired seed density and the distance measuring means 17 corresponding to the increment of distance traveled by the distance measuring wheel, and the comparator means 25 will compare the desired seed density for that particular row width and distance traveled with an actual seed dispense rate calculated. To substantially match the actual seed density with the desired seed density when variations occur, the variable speed pulley seed dispensing means drive must be adjusted. To adjust the drive, the control means 24 activates the electric motor 64 and the screw 66 is rotated to move the block 68 laterally. As the block 68 is moved, it shifts the control arm 60, the yoke member 56, the movable pulley section 46, and springs 62. The springs exert a force on the control arm 58 to then shift the yoke 54 and move the sheave 47. As the control arm 60 is shifted through an arc by the block 68, the substantially parallel control arm 58 is shifted by the springs 62 through the same approximate arc and the tension force exerted by the springs on the control arm 58 remains substantially constant for all relative positions of block 68 and control arm 60. Accordingly, the force exerted against the belt 48 will remain constant for all settings of the sheave 46 and the belt will transmit the torque and not incur slippage irrespective of the belt speed or positions of the sheaves 46, 47.
As the sheaves are adjusted by the block 68, the speed of the belt 48 will be changed to adjust the speed of seed meter drive shaft 50 and thereby the seed dispense rate.
Adjustment of the spring 62 tension can be effected if desired to change the force exerted on the belt 48. As best viewed in FIG. 4, this adjustment can easily be made by moving the nut 78 along the bolt 76.
Should one planter unit seed dispensing means malfunction and dispense too many or too few seeds, the seed monitoring means 22 will register the actual count and send the appropriate signal to the seed dispensing control means 24 which will compare the actual count with the desired density for that row width and distance traveled and accordingly drive the electric motor 64 and shift the movable pulley disk sections 46, 47 to either increase or decrease the speed of the variable speed transmission 10 and the seed dispensing drive shaft 50.
Because the ground-engaging wheel 14 directly drives the drive shaft 30, the variable drive means 10 will attain immediate seed monitoring ability upon movement of the planter across the field. With the driven shaft 32 operating in direct response to rotation of the drive shaft 30 as adjusted by the spacing between the pulleys 26 and 28, quick and precise changes in the rotation and speed of the driven shaft 32 and consequently the rotational speed of the seed dispensing drive shaft 50 can be realized. These changes are easily and quickly effected through the seed dispensing control means 24 as it receives planted seed density information from the monitoring means 22 and width preset means 21 and compares that information to the desired seed density for a particular distance traveled.
With the present invention a farmer can quickly, easily and accurately change and automatically maintain seed dispensing rates as his planter moves from good soil to poor or sandy soil and back again without loosing time to adjust or change equipment settings. In this way maximum yields from all soil types and conditions can be realized without incurring lost time or wasted seeds.

My Perfect House or God's Perfect Will – Denise Loock
"Come look at this house, Mace!" I hollered as I sat at my desk reading through some emails.
My husband and I were planning to move to western North Carolina when our youngest daughter graduated from high school. A Realtor we had contacted when we vacationed in the Smoky Mountains often sent us information on possible houses.
One house particularly caught my interest because of its size, price, and mountain view. After my husband looked at it, we wondered if he should fly down to see this amazing bargain before someone else snatched it.
I sent an email to the Realtor to determine his availability for the next weekend, and my husband checked flight prices. But the next morning as I prayed about the house, I felt no peace.
Why the rush? the Holy Spirit seemed to say.
It's perfect, I countered. And it's priced so low. How can we pass it up?
Still I was restless.
Two days passed. I expressed my doubts to my husband. He agreed that waiting was probably the wiser choice, so I cancelled the plans with the Realtor.
That weekend both our washing machine and our refrigerator broke. When I considered the unexpected expense of repairing the refrigerator and replacing the washing machine, I was thankful we had chosen to let the "perfect" house go.
James advised his readers to acknowledge God's sovereignty by prefacing their plans with "If it is the Lord's will." I used that phrase when I prayed about the house in North Carolina. "Lord," I said, "if it's your will for us to buy that house, make it clear to me." When I felt restless rather than restful about my husband flying down to see the house, I knew it wasn't a good idea.
Praying about financial decisions before finalizing them gives God an opportunity to change our minds. Waiting a few days, weeks, or even months may also help us determine the difference between what we want and what we need.
What financial decisions are you confronting today? Pray, then wait. Allow God the time to reveal His perfect will to you.

Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! July 15 6:00 p.m. EST Christian Bands Steve and The Dobyns Girls & Resident Truth Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP!when Scott shares a taped show from the Rock the Lake LIVE concert with two bands. Steve Dobyns started playing the guitar fifteen years ago. His daughters were young and quickly latched on to the love of music they gleaned from their dad. Not only have the girls learned to love music, they both excelled in the Michigan Home School Music Association. Today Rachel is primarily a flautist and pianist, while Sister Anna focuses on percussion. Together, they make a great trio that leads worship in churches, camps, and concerts. Steve is the minister at the McBride Church of Christ where he and his wife Amy bless the small town and the camp (Rock Lake Christian Assembly) they call home. Resident Truth was formed in 2011 to present the hope that is found in Jesus Christ through their music. Their approach is to incorporate fresh, yet classic-original Christian music with a 1970s southern rock sound. The band members currently consist of: John Quigley, singer-songwriter-guitarist; Mike Robertson, bass guitarist: Jim Keating, keyboard/vocals; Nolan McCausey, keyboard/vocals; Ben Grulke, drums; and Sue Patrick, vocals. Their hope is to reach those outside mainstream Christian music with the goal of spreading the message of Christ's Love while still recognizing the frailty of the human condition.

To me, his condition is basically conclusive of what happened: the storms came, he freaked out and flew over the fence, and got mauled by a dog. The owner later threw his body over the fence. Mariah thinks that his resting position makes that unlikely, but she admits that we had previously checked the spot where she found him. Regardless, we now know what we already knew: out accidental rooster is dead, only days after Snowflake. We are now down to the two least interesting chickens of the flock.

Video postcards from Utah
Not shown: the big covered pot of homemade turkey broth cooling in the snow. Mm mm good.
In other news: still sick. Captain Midnight did take me to the Instacare today, where I was told that my particular tenacious malady is probably viral, though now I have a prescription for Zithromax just in case it isn't. For the nonce, then, I continue to bark like a seal and wheeze out sentences like the female version of Pat Buttram. (Hire me quick, Disney voice talent scouts!)

I wanted something to wear around the house other than jeans (so constricting) or nightgown (too revealing) so I downloaded and printed out the SisBoom Meghan Peasant Dress on Saturday. I made the dress on Sunday and wore it that evening.
I used a medium weight linen fabric that I probably bought on ebay although I don't remember. I made it in a size large but could should have made an XL because it just wasn't roomy enough for my bosom. The entire pattern including instructions contained over 100 pages in various sizes, three bust choices and multiple sleeve lengths. The pattern was very well designed and easy to follow. The only thing I didn't really like was the 1/4 inch seam allowances. I would definitely make the dress again in a larger, roomier size.
Update, 5-14-2015: I made another peasant dress for myself; this time in cotton. I used 1/4 inch elastic and lowered the waist. I did not put elastic under the bust. I also went with short sleeves. I wore it yesterday and it was very comfortable.
My bedroom curtains were not the best backdrop for this dress as the fabric clashes. The background of the fabric is a baby blue.

When you are choosing the best and unique tool for your business, then there are things that you need to consider before you decide to buy it. You need to evaluate it as much as possible, because even if you will be able to save a lot of money out of it, but you are still investing a software that is not cheap. Just like when you buy a new gadget and you decide which model you would like to have by considering its features and according to your likeness, then that is also a kind of process when you choose the newest tool for your company like digital business card. Digital business has changed the usual business card that we received from a lot of businessmen.
So one of the first and important things that you need to consider when you are going to choose a software or tool such as digital business card see here www.mbizcard.me is to consider your budget first and foremost. You need to consider your budget if you can afford the amount that you needed to pay upfront. Also, aside from considering the amount that you are going to pay upfront, you need to know the expenses that you might be paying for monthly services of such software or maybe for maintenance and also if there will be newly added features in the future, would you still need to pay for it or not, those are the things that you needed to know.
When you decided to upgrade or do some changes for your business for a better branding then you have to think of the benefits or advantage that will make a positive impact to your business. A benefit includes return of investments, positive feedback from the clients or convenience to your business perhaps a good impression towards your business. Making few changes or investments to your business signifies that you have an earning business which makes it impressive and create interesting effect to your target market. So if you think that this change is a positive one, then don't hesitate to give it a go.
Lastly, you need to evaluate if it has a user friendly feature. Since you and your prospect clients will be using it as well. Remember, a person doesn't have all the time in the world to study and understand, and if you have very confusing and misleading features you can lose your target market in a glimpse. Consider yourself as well that you are also using tool, some are impatient in learning and don't want complication. So always choose a user-friendly feature, yet an efficient one. Aside from that, consider the whole functionality and performance of the software that would make the users to become more productive.
So here are the 3 things you need to consider when you decide to upgrade your business. Though there are still thing you need to consider, it will also depend on what software or tool you are going to invest, important it is a profitable one.

John Force - Defending his NHRA Funny Car championship has not been easy for John Force this season. Since earning his first championship in 1990, Force has been all but unbeatable, winning 12 titles overall, including the last 10. Only Cruz Pedregon has interrupted the streak, snagging Funny Car honors in 1992 by a nose. Going into this weekend's CARQUEST Auto Parts NHRA Nationals at Pacific Raceways in Seattle, Force is in the No. 4 spot in the championship standings. He finally picked up his first victory of the season in Denver last weekend, and for the first time this year, Force is in the top five of the standings. Force admits he has no complaints about his other two Ford entries. Gary Densham and the Auto Club team has one win and is No. 5 in the standings. Tony Pedregon has not only earned six victories in 2003, but the Castrol Syntec team is the category's POWERade points leader. In this Q&A session, Force talks about what his Castrol GTX High-Mileage team is doing to turn the season around, how he can continue to juggle his multiple job titles and whether he is superstitious about winning POWERade championship No. 13.
Q: How are you able to juggle being both a team owner to three professional teams as well as being the driver of the Castrol GTX entry?
FORCE: First of all, I truly enjoy both jobs, being a driver and being an owner. Especially the driving part. In my mind it is a 24-hour-a-day job. You do it because you love it. So you get it up everyday, even on Sunday, to just keep this thing afloat.
Q: If you have a bad day driving, but a good day as a team owner, are you able to easily separate the two emotions?
FORCE: Yes, because I have been doing this for a long time. If one car is doing good, I am happy. If it is not mine, fine. As long as it's one of us. The bottom line is that this is all part of the game. After 25 years of doing this, I take the good with the bad.
Q: Is 2003 the toughest season you have had since your championship reign began in 1990?
FORCE: Only because we are losing, but this is no different from the first 10 years of my career when I lost all the time. People expect so much of this team because they have won so much. It has become expected that this team will just win. Actually I am in sixth place. I set the national record (for E.T. with a 4.721-second pass in Chicago in May). I've been the low qualifier twice. We're not doing that bad. It is just that my other two cars are better. If the other two cars weren't here right now, then I might be third or fourth in the standings. But that is all part of the game. I'm doing fine with it. You don't jump out and yell and scream (after a run) because you don't have anything to say. Even when you do something good - like set the national record - you don't want to make a big deal about it because there is an old saying, 'the proof is in the pudding' and we'll be able to tell at the end of the year what is and what isn't.
Q: Is it fair for people to hold you to a higher standard year in and year out because of all of your success?
FORCE: That is just the way people are. It is no different for someone like Elvis Presley. He made all those hit records and he has one bad one and they all thought he quit signing. It was just one bad one. Maybe he had a bad writer, maybe his mood was wrong. Who knows? We're just going through this deal where we have had some luck, but I believe that you make your own luck. There have been 12 years of being good and this year has just been average. There are a lot of other guys that have been down here in sixth place. I won't be here long.
Q: What do you think about the competition this year?
FORCE: There are a lot of good cars like Ron Capps, the Worsham team, Whit Bazemore, Gary Scelzi, Tim Wilkerson. There are a lot of good cars. That hasn't been my problem. My car just wouldn't get past the first round for a while. It was dropping cylinders and we couldn't stop it. Then I had a couple of bad lights and that threw us down in the cellar. The car is starting to run now and we are going to be OK. It is a combination of the whole team, what I do as a driver, what the crew chiefs do to tune the car and what each crew does in transition to make the car win.
Q: Are you still focused on winning?
FORCE: I can say that the problem isn't focus right now. It is struggle. We'll get through it. Same thing with (crew chiefs) Austin Coil and Bernie Fedderly. We've had championships where we fell out of the points and we didn't think we could get back. Actually we always thought we could, but other people didn't think we could. But we did. The toughest thing is that the very cars that we taught, we now race against. They've taught us too. Here I am, if we could get back in the hunt, I still have to beat Pedregon and Densham, or Bazemore or whoever else is up there. We'll see at the end of the year. We're just halfway through the year right now.
Q: What makes your team able to work through the challenges this season has produced?
FORCE: We have a lot of talent and there is a lot of drive and motivation on this team. But mainly we have great leadership by not just me but from Austin Coil, Jimmy Prock (Densham tuner), and John Medlen (Pedregon tuner). We all do our thing to lead. But I think the key to our success is partnership from the entire group. We are all on one team.
Q: What is the most fun outside of the race track that you have had in the last 12 months?
FORCE: Being at the race track doing some match races with my daughter Ashley. Really, this is all I do. I don't fish. I haven't even had a chance to ride my motorcycles this year. I just haven't had the time. But this is what I love to do. I'm a racer and I truly do enjoy it. I am very fortunate and lucky that I get to do this. I've got so much going on. The new shop in Indy is being built and I am renovating my Yorba Linda (Calif.) shop is going on. We are creating Graceland on my land in Yorba Linda. It is going to be 40 percent bigger and that is exciting to me. They are going to be starting next week on my shop in L.A. for the museum, to make it two stories. It is going to be a lot bigger and a lot nicer. I have my shop, the museum, and the apparel store just opened last year. It is doing very well. That's the John Force Race Station. Then right across the street we are taking my dealership where the two-story parking is, that is going to have a glass dome on it with elevators. Elvis will get his own special room. We just closed the deal on the shop in Indianapolis. We're going to have a big ground-breaking ceremony in Indy soon. The shop in Indy will be done in December and my shop in California will be done in December as well. I've got a great organization. We have car shows one Wednesday every month in Yorba Linda. We just did a Ford Mustang show there recently that was packed with people and cars. Those are fun for me to be with all of the people. We have drawings and gifts. We are going to build a theme restaurant with race cars and memorabilia. You can stay at the hotel, eat in the restaurant come over to the apparel store and see the museum. It is just my version of Graceland. It's as big as Graceland, which was built on 14 acres. I think ours is a little bigger.
Q: How do you maintain the energy to keep up with all of your projects?
FORCE: I just do it. I love it. I get tired. The ropes are getting tougher and tougher because the crowds are getting bigger and everyone wants an autograph. If you don't give it to them, the people get mad. We keep doing it but it's tough sometime. I keep a list of all the things I need to do in my briefcase. Kelly Antonelli gives me a schedule of all of the things I have to do. I've still got my ranch, but I am trying to sell that. The ranch was so that everyone could move the shops there and do everything, but the community grew up around it and I just don't want do it. It was just too much.
Q: You are going for championship No. 13. Are you a superstitious person?
FORCE: No, I believe you make your own luck. I pray continually, if you call that superstition. I believe that if you do good things for people, good things will happen to you. I try to do right. I'm not superstitious about the 13th championship. I am the one that named it 'Lucky 13' that was the T-shirt that was coming out for that. You make your own luck. My car will come around. The car is starting to run.
Q: What is the best thing about this season so far?
FORCE: Tony. Tony is my partner and he is part of my team. I have nine years invested in Tony. I would really be sick if he wasn't in the championship hunt. But he's out there. I've hired a new agent to go to work. He's been in Formula One, IRL, CART, NASCAR with sponsorships and he said that drag racing is finally got something really big to offer because the other guys have priced themselves out. He's out there and he's signed huge deals and I'm the only drag racing driver he has right now. He's out there chasing money for us. We've got to find money for the future. I'm still always looking for sponsorships too. This is what I do. Time off? I work straight through the winter. I went up to Tahoe a little after the championship. I look forward to going to Seattle and all of those places that we race. The area surrounding the race track is beautiful. I'm also looking forward to being back in the hunt. I've always learned that even when you think you are hot, as soon as you say something, it will defuse. Babe Ruth pointed to left field, and took it out of the park. That took a lot of nerve. It's not just me, there are 10 other guys working on this car. Then there is the race track. If you run low E.T., the dumbest thing you can say is that you are going to win. Because you are the quickest already and you are the most vulnerable to lose. People say that I am not talking like I used to, but I am not going to make a fool of myself. First of all, I have the credentials. If someone is going to beat me to the championship, they still have to win 11 more just to tie me. I know what I have accomplished, I know what I can do. I am building teams. I was not happy for two weeks until my daughter (Ashley) won her first round (in St. Louis). That was great. It's like when Tony and Gary win. It is the same feeling, especially with Tony right now. When my kid wins a round, it just changes my personality. I know what she is going through losing. She is in the top 10 right now. She has a long road ahead of her, and she has got to learn a lot as she goes along.
Q: Last year was Ashley's first in the driver's seat of a Super Comp car. Are you enjoying watching Ashley race again this season?
FORCE: Yes, I enjoy it, but it also makes me ill. I know how bad it hurts her when she loses. When I started racing I was so busy chasing money that when I lost I would jump out of the car and I would get out and start looking for deals. I didn't have time to be sick over the loss. She is strictly racing and going to college. She is going to be graduating in December. She will have earned a four-year degree in three and a half years. She didn't get great grades when she was in high school and even during the first year of college. But then she got into racing and I don't know how, but she wanted it bad enough to study harder to get the work done and she has gotten better grades. I have been very impressed. Her mom has said that instead of making her nuts like it always did me, it made Ashley more positive about school and work harder to get it all done. She got very organized. She is doing very well. You have to love this sport. The trick to this sport is learning how to get out of bed every morning and find the race track. Get your car parked and get to your trailer so you can sign autographs. At the end of the day, load your stuff up. All that other stuff goes in the middle. People focus on the wrong things and they get their priorities wrong. You have to learn the basics and with that the love comes. If you don't get the love, you won't be here long. I have had guys come out here and they never have the love and they are gone. They couldn't figure out what it is. What it is involves standing at the ropes all day long and figuring out how to keep all the people happy.
Q: What do you love about the sport of drag racing?
FORCE: I love the competition. I love Sunday mornings. I love the fanfare. I love getting up for the fight. Even though I am not chasing (Bazemore) in the points just yet the fact that I took him and Capps out (at Columbus) to help Tony in the points. Tony never said a word to me, he just smiled when he went by. We know our job and what we have to do, but he was basically saying 'thanks'. Of course, I turn right around and go after him in the final. It is just what we do. That is a real good feeling. Even though you are not in the points and staring at the championship, even though I will be in time. But I don't focus on that right now. I am focused on fixing the car and winning rounds and taking out the competition that can hurt Tony or Densham. That is my job and that is my focus. My energy has changed from what it used to be. My strategy has changed. But as soon as I get back in the points and get back in the hunt, then I will approach it differently. I almost don't want to go up there and run low E.T. because I would rather Tony get the points. But you can't control that, the car does run low E.T. Bazemore and Capps are good guys, but it is extra special to beat them. That's what they say about me.
Q: You have been involved with the sport for 25 years, setting numerous records along the way. Do you ever think about retirement?
FORCE: No. I wouldn't know what to do. I want to stay in this business because it is fun. I love it at night when the sun goes down and the cars are in the staging lanes and everybody is hoping for that victory or low E.T. and it is just really awesome. I love racing at night when you can see the header flames coming out through the pipes. Your guys are looking at you through the window. That is stuff that people don't talk about or they say it and don't really mean it. But to see the look in Coil's face when we lose or the look when we win. It is something that we are really lucky to be able to do. I'm signed with Ford through 2007 and I am not quitting. I don't want to quit. Now I am just doing things a little different. I am going to build my Graceland. I'm going to build a bigger shop in Indy for my children. My daughter Courtney just turned 15 and is going to driving school, but I got her in a parking lot to learn how to drive a car. My 17-year-old daughter, Brittany, is a cheerleader. She starts Frank Hawley's Driving School next month. You want to know what color driving suit she wants? She wants pink with stars. I told her I wasn't sure if she really wanted stars, but she knows she wants pink for sure. She is just a beautiful kid. I am really worried for her. I knew Ashley could drive and I knew that my oldest daughter Adria could also drive. Courtney is the one who gets in the car, steps on the gas and has no fear. In a go-Kart, Brittany is the one who, when you tell her to push on the gas, she will look at me and say, 'Now?' before she does anything. Ashley was talking to her about shifting the cars and what you have to do with the trans brake and all that. Brittany was like, 'Whoa, just tell dad to fix it' but dad is not out there with you. She is the one I worry about. Sometimes the one that you don't think can be the one, will be the one. That goes for anything in life.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Allah, the Exalted, says: 'I have no reward other than Jannah for a believing slave of Mine who remains patient for My sake when I take away his beloved one from among the inhabitants of the world".
Commentary: Child, wife and parents, etc., are the dearest people to everyone. It is a great sign of Faith to accept their death as the Will of Allah, to bear their loss with patience. Wailing and saying nonsense things show weakness of Faith. The reward of patience on such tragedies is Jannah while the result of impatience is displeasure of Allah.

I hope everyone had a happy holiday. And now even though it is time to relax, I wanted to share with you two gift card holders I made using my Silhouette Cameo.
Love this little Santa box and it was easy to make.
Same with the holly gift card box.
I prefer to give gifts, but sometimes a gift card just fits the bill. And it makes it a little more special when you make the holder that the gift card comes in. These were for my husband's parents. These cut files can be found in the The Silhouette Design Store.
I also used my embroidery machine - Brother PE500 to embroider a name on a gift:
I think next year I am going to have 1 day a week dedicated to a Christmas card design. Then all my Christmas cards will be done by the time Christmas gets here next year. We'll see what happens. :-)
Thanks for stopping by the blog. Have a great day and be inspired.
Tune in next week for - Happy New Year!
Luke 2: 6 - 7 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

By the late 1990s, entrepreneur James Tufenkian had been using his business ventures to promote social justice for over a decade — first in Nepal, then in his ancestral homeland of Armenia. However, some of the most pressing social, economic, cultural and environmental challenges facing Armenia couldn't be solved by market forces alone. Instead, overcoming them would also require innovation and bold action from the non-profit sector.
The Tufenkian Foundation was founded to meet that need, seeking to model new approaches to long-standing problems, and to pioneer projects that overcome new or long-ignored challenges. The common thread between our various projects is that they all stand to offer benefits that can ripple through multiple layers of Armenia's society
In 2003, our mission was expanded to include the embattled borderlands of Nagorno-Karabagh, where resettlers attempt to establish lives and infrastructure in harsh conditions with little to no international aid.
This challenge is directly tied to other major problems facing Armenia—poverty, corruption, disempowerment, short-term mentalities, and a lack of affordable energy alternatives. Since 2002, we have pursued a combination of hands-on reforestation, community initiatives and public advocacy campaigns to help Armenians secure a better environment and better environmental policies.
Armenia Program
Our work in Armenia began in 1998. We work hand-in-hand with local Armenians — both groups and individuals — delivering projects that can grow, mature and eventually spin off to larger benefactors or else become self-sustaining. We have completed more than 60 projects in Armenia to combat poverty, promote education, protect the natural environment and renew national, civic, cultural and religious values. While our focus is not political, many of our challenges are directly tied to other major problems facing Armenia, including the rule of law, corruption, disempowerment, short-term mentalities, as well as energy security and affordability.
Karabagh Program
In 2003, we turned our attention to Nagorno-Karabagh, where a hard-fought war had killed thousands and displaced many more. The region's borderlands, which serve as Karabagh's primary link to Armenia, were left especially vulnerable. So, we began to promote resettlement, infrastructure, health care and economic development work to repopulate these areas, giving local communities a stake in building a future on these lands.
Environmental Program
According to trends, Armenia is undergoing massive desertification. At a time when less than 10% of Armenia's historic tree cover remains, our Environmental Program has worked to renew rich forests in all five regions of the country, while engaging the public in the life of their natural environment.

In reply to M Jesper • Nov 13, 2012
Thanks for all the responses. There are some good points made and it seems that the f4 shouldn't be a deterent from getting this lens. I'm still new and haven't gotten into lanscapes yet so I would probably use the lens for general photography purposes for now. I have 50mm and 85mm primes and love them for portraits. If the rumors are true that a 16 - 35 2.8 vr is coming out in the near future...should I just hold off for now? Or go ahead and purchase and resell IF the newer lens is amazing..?
