One of the things that most people love about their vacation is the incredible food that they get to eat. This is especially true if you are going to a country that you have never been to before. You get to not only enjoy the local sites and the history of the country, but also get to sample the exotic cuisine of the country. It is a wondrous part of the whole vacation experience.
Durban, South Africa is one of the most amazing places on earth to visit, and the incredible food that adds to the majesty of why it is so popular. Not only are the dishes that you can try that have been native to the country for thousands of years, but you can also find a multicultural diversity of dishes that will really get your mouth watering.
The Zulu natives were the people that dominated this area for thousands of years, and you can find the delicacies and dishes that they have eaten at many of the fine establishments around Durban. These foods are absolutely amazing, and you will love the way that they are seasoned and cooked. It is truly spectacular.
There is a very large Indian population in Durban, meaning you can try some very authentic Indian dishes at many of the restaurants you will find in the city. The curry will knock your socks off, and you will love the various dishes that are created from scratch.
Of course, since Durban is a port of the Indian Ocean you will find the most fresh and tasty seafood one can ask for. There is virtually every kind of fish you can desire, and a whole lot of shell fish that you can have as well. All of it is caught fresh each day and brought to local restaurants and eateries to be prepared and served. They are as tasty as it gets, and you will love the many amazing ways it can all be cooked. If you are a person who loves fresh fish, shrimp, crab, and lobster, you will definitely be in heaven.
Of course, there are many people who love to travel, but they still want to be able to eat the foods that they love the most. That is not a problem in Durban, where you will find great restaurants and diners that have the food you desire, no matter what you are looking for. There are some exceptional Italian restaurants you can try, and this is true of French dining as well. There are even some very authentic creole restaurants that you will love while you are there.
For those looking for the simpler things in life, you will find it here as well. There are hamburgers and hot dogs for you to be able to get, and pizza shops are not very far away either. There is nothing that your heart could desire that you cannot find here, and you will not leave the country hungry. You can be quite sure of that.

A New Jersey court of appeals has ruled that a person may be legally liable for sending a text that distracts a driver and causes an accident.
The decision arises out of a 2009 crash in which a couple on a motorcycle was badly injured when they were struck by a truck driven by an 18-year-old who crossed the center line. They already settled with the driver, but also sued his 17-year-old girlfriend, who had texted him just before the accident.
The court said:
We conclude that a person sending text messages has a duty not to text someone who is driving if the texter knows, or has special reason to know, the recipient will view the text while driving.
The court of appeals did not find the girlfriend liable, because there was no clear evidence that she knew her boyfriend was driving at the time of the accident. But as a general principal, the judges accepted the plaintiffs' argument that a person who sends a text may bear legal responsibility for resulting injuries if the sender knows that the person receiving the text is driving at the time.
This does not mean that it is now illegal to send a text to a driver in New Jersey. It is, however, illegal for the driver to send or respond to a text, make a call, or otherwise use a cell phone while driving in New Jersey. Currently the penalty for any cell phone use while driving is $100. Legislation has been introduced to increase the penalty for texting to $300 and the loss of the texter's driver's license for three months.
However, the court of appeals decision does mean that someone who sends a text to a driver can be liable for civil damages if the texter is distracted by the message and gets in an accident that causes injuries or property damages.
The same rationale would seemingly apply to someone who makes a phone call to someone the caller knows is driving, if the caller has reason to know that the recipient of the call does not have a hands-free device.
If you've been injured in a vehicle accident, contact an experienced personal injury law attorney at the New Jersey Law Offices of Greenberg, Walden & Grossman, LLC.

Man Told Plane Stolen Two Years Ago
Wednesday, a man walked into the local Sheriff's office to report that his aircraft, a 1955 Cessna 310, had been stolen from Turlock Airport (roughly 90 miles east of San Francisco), about two years ago. It seems the victim bought the plane on the east coast back in 2007, flew it across the country and parked it in his hangar. Details are sketchy, but the victim apparently left his plane unchecked until the FAA contacted him to let him know the aircraft had been sold in 2009, or was otherwise out of compliance. When the victim went to check on the aircraft, he discovered it was missing. Merced deputy Tom Mackenzie told local newspaper The Merced Sun Star that it appears the aircraft had been flown off the airport and that the criminal had then forged signatures on a bill of sale dated April 2009, before selling the aircraft to someone else.
The FAA is conducting an investigation and has placed the aircraft's identifying features, plus its serial number and registration number, into the national database for stolen property. Many aircraft are stolen each year from the U.S. and placed in service in South America for the purpose of running drugs, according to the FAA. The victim in this case estimated the value of his aircraft near $25,000.

UPM has published a surprisingly large amount of books on the frightful topics of horror film, ghosts, witches, and zombies. In the days leading up to Halloween, we've asked our staff members to choose their favorite Halloween-themed book. And every day until Halloween, we will post a new staff pick.
Follow along all week for our curated Halloween reading list.
Craig Gill, Director, suggests picking up a copy of Aliens, Ghosts, and Cults: Legends We Live
Seen any creepy clowns lately? If so, Bill Ellis can tell you why. His book explores the complex relationship between ordinary life and outlandish but oft-told legends. What he finds is startling. In multiple case studies legends become part of life.
A Pennsylvania high school hums with the rumor that a Satanic cult plans on killing the first four couples through the door on prom night. A horror writer in the Catskills is overcome with grief, alienated from his wife, unable to write, and suffering from recurring thoughts of physical and sexual indignities concludes he has been abducted by aliens. In a Pizza Hut in Ohio, employees refuse to close alone because the ghost of a hanged man haunts the refrigerator.
Real or not, tales such as these urban legends, classic ghost stories, and "true stories, heard from a friend of a friend" inspire people to actions, ranging from playful visits to haunted spots to horrifying threats of violence. When schools, police, governments, and individuals take action, when legends are reported on the local news as fact, the story becomes one of the legends we live.
Ellis traces some contemporary scares to such old tales as the vanishing hitchhiker and murderous gang initiations. In analyzing some newly emerging legend types, such as alien abductions and computer virus warnings, he uncovers connections between earlier types of religious experience and supposed witchcraft. Finally, the book reveals how legends can inspire people to actions, ranging from playful visits to haunted spots to horrifying threats of violence.

The history of music has always been a history of fusion. Hip hop and blues – two of the great American art forms – both came out of a mix of musical styles and cultures.
So it is with the insanely talented Alex Tintinalli, aka A.TNT, aka the driving force behind the most exciting band to hit the airwaves in years – Pocket City. A.TNT is an R&B musician almost beyond compare on the modern scene, yet Pocket City is an incendiary tour de force of hip hop, funk and jazz that will have them packing the dance floors from Toronto to Rio.
This five-piece band, straight out of Ontario, is on the cusp of releasing its debut EP – the eponymously titled 'Pocket City' – and it's set to be one of the most exciting debut offerings of this or any year.
That's because, as has been proven by Pocket City's incredible live shows that have been winning it a fan base across the continent, this isn't your average rap offering.
A.TNT, along with Donovan 'Riko' McKinley on bass, Jordan 'Ridm' Smith on drums, Nate Payne on sax and DJ Sporadik on turntables, have created something that is genuinely new, genuinely innovative. This EP is a brilliant fusion of the best of rap, reggae, funk, soul and jazz.
Pocket City borrows from the likes of The Roots, Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson, and Bob Marley. Yet the sound is entirely their own. It is the sound of youth. Every member of the band is under 25 (except DJ Sporadik), and it's the exuberance of youth that comes through loud and clear on every track on this incredible record.
Whether you want to relax in your home, throw some shapes on the dance floor or nod along to conscious, intelligent hip hop in the front seat of your car, Pocket City is for you.
You can hear A.TNT and the boys for yourself at the launch party for the EP at the Starlight Social Club in Waterloo, Ontario on November 10th. It's the hottest ticket in town, for the hottest act around.
The EP will be available for purchase through CD Baby and for download through iTunes and numerous other music download services beginning November 10, 2011.

Date Written: June 2006
Despite its remarkable rise in popularity, stakeholder theory continues to be criticized for a dearth of empirical studies as well as ambiguity in the underlying theory. Several scholars have argued that resource dependence theory provides a useful lens through which to view firm-stakeholder relationships (Frooman 1999; Mitchell, Agle, & Wood 1997; Rowley 1997). There may, however, be reason to question the extent of this proposed theoretical bolster due to differences in assumptions and prescriptions between the two theories. To test this proposed linkage, we introduce "stakeholder performance" as a measure of how well stakeholders are treated by the firm. We develop resource dependence-based hypotheses concerning stakeholder performance based on Boyd's (1990, 1995) operationalization of the three dimensions of environmental uncertainty identified by Dess & Beard (1984): munificence, dynamism, and complexity. As anticipated, these initial tests returned equivocal results. We follow up these results by considering the effects of different levels of managerial discretion (Hambrick & Finkelstein 1987) on stakeholder performance. We find that, under conditions of greater managerial discretion, stakeholder performance increases. Differences between resource dependence and stakeholder theory are elaborated and implications for future research are discussed.

Re: Microsoft Stores execs must be worried then ;-)
I passed the first Microsoft Store I've seen, in New York's Times Square, just the other day. I can't talk to sales totals but it was definitely packed. That said, I'd imagine it's difficult for anything next to Times Square not to be packed.
If Apple's Stores stopped selling anything? I don't think Apple would do anything because I think that'd be symptomatic of the end of Apple. The post-2000 Apple as a purely consumer company lives and dies on its ability to attract lifestyle purchasers. I'm not sure they'd be able to contract back to the design and technology-obsessed* niches they held last time things went bad.
(*) in that the PowerPC really was quite a bit faster than the Pentium for a long period in the late 90s and RISC snobbishness shouldn't be underestimated, and nowadays there's the 'it's also a fully certified UNIX' angle plus things like the retina display.

Though many states recruit
Though many states recruit businesses with tax incentives, states in the Deep South pioneered the practice and remain aggressive users of the tool, pitching not just tax breaks but low costs and anemic union participation. The strategy has both payoffs and potential downsides. Mercedes, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Airbus and Boeing now have plants in the Deep South, providing tens of thousands of sturdy middle class jobs.
Really shale development that been the blessing, says Lars Eirik Nicolaisen, an energy expert at Rystad Energy. Not for shale, oil prices [per barrel] would have been $200. Oil is currently trading below $70 a barrel, an extremely low level that hasn been seen in four years.
Trump has already used his office Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping to boost Trump properties by dining at the Trump International Hotel in Washington and playing golf on his courses.

For a period, we will still have a waste disposal problem that could have been easily enough solved if the perfectly sound and reliable Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada was not being defunded by the Obama administration for political reasons. It now plans to keep waste instead in some 60 sites spread hither and yon. The good part is that we're ultimately going to be able to recycle nuclear fuel into new plants, causing the waste issue to go away if still failing to shut up certain exaggerators..
Rebecca Smith, a lawyer for the National Employment Law Project, seconds that. Creativity of business in avoiding its responsibility to workers never ceases to astound, she says dryly. Day labor in the virtual world. According to the City, the primary purpose of installing the meters in 1942 was to http://www.nflchinacheapjerseys.com/ eliminate parking woes, but local newspapers held that City Council was actually motivated by the revenue sound familiar? Back then, the City estimated $150,000 in revenue from parking. Today, according to the Seattle's proposed 2011 2012 budget, total parking revenues for 2011 are expected to be 35.8M and 41.1M for 2012. My, how times have changed!.
How it works: Depending on your bank, your American debit card can also be used in international ATMs to withdraw local currency. Most banks tack on fees that can add anywhere from 3 to 8 percent. But a few, like Citi and Bank of America, have international branches or partners that allow you to use your ATM card fee free in most cases.

The "balato" mentality
Someone finally won the pot money of P2 million at last Saturday's episode of "One versus One Hundred." In case you have been living under a rock, One versus One Hundred is ABS-CBN's latest game show. It pits a contestant (so far, all celebrities) against a "mob" of 100.
I caught the tail end of the show last Saturday while surfing television channels and got glued to the show because of two things.
First, because it is always interesting to watch someone win in a game show where millions are at stake. The penultimate question (the location of the Philippines in relation to the equator) was, at least as far as I am concerned, a giveaway. When the contestant keyed in his answer, I knew he was going to win. As we all know, our TV stations have this habit of milking every ounce of drama it could every single time someone wins a major prize in their game shows.
The second reason I was glued to the television set was because of the reaction of the 100 kids that comprised last Saturday's "mob." When the contestant won, the kids began chanting "Ba-la-to!" The chanting, which lasted all throughout the last few minutes of the show, almost drowned out the chatter between the host (Edu Manzano) and the winner.
What made the incident even more disturbing was that the kids on that episode of the show were supposedly comprised of some of the "brightest" hope of this country—some were scholars, young chess masters, etc.
I am sure that there are people out there who will insist that there is nothing unusual about asking for "balato" probably insisting on the literal meaning of the word, which is "a share of the winnings." I am neither a sociologist nor an anthropologist, so I will not attempt a discourse on the many permutations of the concept.
However, I don't think people can deny that balato does have negative implications. Very often, a balato can refer to a share of the booty, of the take on something illegal. Many people use the concept interchangeably with the word "commission" the other word that has acquired a negative connotation as well. We may recall that the whole stink around the national broadband network deal started off with allegations of bribery, euphemistically called "commission."
Kids demanding balato on public television as if it is the most natural thing in the world is a deeply disturbing sight. Need we ask where they got the idea that asking for a share of the loot is a normal thing?
Speaker Jose de Venecia says he now wants to spend the last years of his life building his legacy to the Filipino people.
All throughout his various TV appearances last week, he kept on referring to a letter that he said he had been writing in the last few days. On Manolo Quezon's "The Explainer" on ANC, he brandished a one-page draft. That was Tuesday. A few days later, that letter had grown to four pages. It's a letter that he says he wants to personally hand over to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo this week.
It remains to be seen what exactly that letter contains, but based on De Venecia's pronouncements on television, it would focus on the imperative of addressing the widespread corruption in government today. It's a letter that supposedly contains an aging man's dreams and aspirations for his country.
The speaker is 70 years old. He is the longest-serving speaker of the House of Representatives. He could have been president of this country had it not been for the fact that someone more popular and more in touch with the common man was also running for the post in that particular election. He lost to Joseph Estrada, the actor. His running mate, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, however, won the vice presidency. Estrada would eventually get booted out of office, tried, and convicted for plunder. And as fate would have it, De Venecia's running mate became President.
For quite sometime, De Venecia's political fortunes were in limbo. But he eventually bounced back from the pits and reclaimed his seat as speaker of the House of Representatives, proof of the man's resilience and tenacity as a political animal.
This is a man who has fought many battles; a man who speaks with the wisdom of not only the aged, but of someone who has been a constant fixture in the political scene in the last four or five decades.
In another time and place, when someone of De Venecia's stature and experience speaks of moral regeneration and of the urgency of reclaiming the country's pride and honor, we should be compelled to sit up and listen.
Sadly, this does not seem to be the case today. It has become difficult to empathize with the man. Not only because in all his TV appearances last week the speaker came across as a forlorn figure, of someone betrayed and on the brink of defeat. There was no fire in his eyes and his rhetoric lacked conviction.
This is sad because what De Venecia is saying is true. This country needs moral regeneration. But corruption has not only become systemic and widespread, brazen and so unspeakably scandalous. We also know theoretical solutions and intellectual discussions won't be enough. What we need are drastic and more effective courses of action.
It is difficult to empathize with De Venecia and his cause because despite the grand pronouncements, it is clear that the man is simply fighting for political survival.
This is evident in the way De Venecia continues to hem and haw about where his political loyalties now reside. Despite thinly veiled threats about possible courses of actions that he might take if the current dispensation continues to marginalize him, we know that his main motivation is self-preservation. He wants to retire as speaker and this is only possible if he plays his cards right. It's a political zarzuela.
De Venecia is saying all the right things but unfortunately fails to buttress his rhetoric with the necessary actions indicative of moral courage. Thus, we can be forgiven for not trusting him at this point.

Very interesting article! I am a foreigner who lives here in the Philippines (Davao). Several years ago, I asked a salesperson if she works on a commission basis, as this is very common where I come from. I wanted to be sure to buy from her if I decided to buy, because she had been very helpful to me.
I wonder why a commission arrangement is considered bad or unethical here in the Philippines? In my culture, it is very normal, and simply rewards the sales person for his or her hard work in making the sale.
Thank you for writing this, I found it interesting!

Biotechnology uses the DNA of living organisms to bioengineer new products artificially. Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the related fields of biomedicine, pharmacology, and genetic engineering. Modern biotech methods are used to manufacture existing medicines more easily, in order to treat human diseases. Further, biotechnology has enabled emerging techniques like gene therapy. Stem cell research offers new hope in the areas of cancer treatment as well as life extension. The regulation of genetic engineering aims to assess and manage the risks of developing genetically modified organisms (GMO), including commercial food crops and fish.
At the smallest scale, mechanical engineering becomes nanotechnology, one goal of which is to build molecules and materials via microsynthesis. Current areas of mechanical engineering research in biotech and nanotechnology include nanofilters, nanofilms, and nanostructures such as microtubules. Self-assembly of these structures may lead to new breakthroughs in artificial tissue generation. Micron-scale mechanical components such as springs, gears, and heat-transfer devices are fabricated from a variety of substrate materials such as silicon, glass and polymers like SU8. Biomechanics applies traditional engineering methodology to the analysis of biological systems. By copying the efficiency of nature, the study of biomechanics aids in creating prosthetic limbs and artificial organs for medical application. Beyond major requirements within the biotechnology department, you may consider Rosemont College biotechnology as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

A. I can't fall asleep
A. I can't fall asleep
B. unngh. Ghwuh, I. What?
A. I can't fall asleep
B. Yes you can.
A. No, I can't.
B. Prove it.
A. I am.
B. Sure, you're awake now. But in six hours…
A. Six? That's not fair.
B. You said you can't fall asleep
A. I mean, can't right now. Not can't ever.
B. So what's the problem then.
A. I can't fall asleep.
B. … so, half hour? An hour?
A. I don't know. There's no way to tell.
B. Except you definitely know that it's not six hours.
A. I'm not going to just lie here sleepless for six hours. If it gets to that point I'll just give up.
B. Also in six hours you'll have to have been at work for… 40 minutes or so.
A. Shit. Really?
B. Yeah.
A. Ugh.
B. So why not try and see if you can squeeze 4 hours out of it.
A. … I have been trying.
B. Well, try…
A. Are you going to finish that sentence or did you think better of it.
B. Thought better. But, seriously though.
A. What then. What is it that I should do.
B. Huh.
A. What are your best secret sleep strategies to help me conk right out
B. Hm. I always just fall asleep on my own. It's really easy for me.
A. That's not helping.
B. I know. It's just. I don't really have anything helpful to offer here.
B. Maybe, count sheep?
A. That doesn't work.
B. Did you try it?
A. No. B-
B. Well, you can't know unti
A. But I've tried in the past. On Christmas Eves. Or on the nights before we'd go to Water Country or Disney World. I'd get to the forties or fifties before the mental image would break down, become meaningless.
B. You were as excited for Water Country as Disney World?
A. Probably moreso.
B. You're a weird kid you know that?
A. We didn't have a pool!
B. Yeah. Well you also didn't have a Teacups. Or a Thunder Mountain. Or a entire canon of costumed Disney characters.
A. …I like waterslides.
B. Aw.
A. What.
B. Weird kid.
A. If liking waterslides is weird then you are sleeping with but not asleep with the Crispin Glover of kids.
B. Weird. kid.
A. Don't drift off on me!
B. Can't. help it.
A. I've got ways.
B. No. I'm all. wore. out.
A. Not sex ways, sicko. I just mean I can keep waking you up each time you fall asleep.
A. Like with pinches. Or shaking. Or frenching.
A. Hey. HEY.
B. No.o.o.
A. You can't sleep until I can sleep.
B. That's not. acceptable.
A. You don't have a choice. I'm your own private Guantanamo.
B. Bo.o. Atti. ca.
A. Count yourself lucky that it's just deprivation and not angry dogs and hot fuck stacks.
B. Hot. fuck stacks?
A. Those nude pyramids
B. Ugh. Not cool.
A. I'm not the one who did them. Take it up with Lynnie England, and just Lynnie England, and maybe a couple other bad apples, but nobody else.
B. No.o.o. Too late. for. politics.
A. And even if you definitely could take it up with a bunch of otherbody elses, we have to look forward, not backwards. Past is done. Punishing people isn't going to change what's already happened. Why bother? Except terrorists. And protestors.
B. I'm not a terrorist. Can I go to sleep please?
A. Don't care. No.
B. Ugh.
A. Hug.
B. Is … this a stress position?
A. Just hugging on you. To keep you awake
B. I don't think. It's.
A. I just have to squeeze a little.
B. Wrrrk.
A. Aw. I squeezed a li'l 'wrrk' outta you.
B. Wark.
A. Hm. It's not as good when it's from concentration.
B. Wrrrrrk
A. Mm. Fresh squoze.
B. Stop. You're making me hungry.
A. Maybe we should go to Denny's.
B. No-o. To sleep. We should go to. sleep.
A. I can't fall asleep.
B. Go to sleep.
A. I can't.
B. If. you can't. fall asleep. maybe you can. maybe I. I.
A. Hey
B. Mm?
B. nn.
A. Don't make me pack you in an ice casket.
B. z.
A. Ugh. *shake*
B. Nnn.
A. ever forget my inability to sleep.
B. Serious. stop.
A. Just. I think I can get there. I , need your help though.
B. No you don't. Just. do for yourself. what you.
A. Hey.
B. Yeah?
A. Please?
B. ok.
A. Finally.
A. I mean, thank you.
B. Yeah. well.
A. I just need you to talk me through it. I know it will work if you just, talk me throughit.
B. Ok. Well. You're getting sleepy.
A. Not like a hypnotist.
B. Like what then?
A. I don't know. Just , normal.
B. I don't think. I'm capable of. of that. now.
A. But with a story. With a drift to it , that I can follow to sleep.
B. Like a lazy. river.
A. Yeah! Exactly like a stupid lazy river.
B. And this bed. is your. water. country.
A. I actually did fall asleep on one of those once.
B. You've excaped Guantanamo. You've.
A. At Water Country, even.
B. You've made it. to the , past Cuba. To , some own. private. spot.
A. It was towards the end of the day and I was young-ish, like 8 or 10,
B. all the sand is white. there.
A. and I must have been tired out
B. No. Black.
A. so about a quarter mile in the tube left the shade for the sun
B. It's a lake now. In , New Hampshire.
A. and I had to close my eyes just to , block it.
B. Or, I guess. A river.
A. and I could still see the sun behind my eyelids, though
B. And you get in. your tube. and you start to. just. drift. out
A. it was just the color red , and sometimes pulses of neon green or red
B. The lake. or the river. takes your tube like a ride but there. isn't one.
A. So I close them tighter, and tighter until , it doesn't help. So I turn over
B. You're just , at the , mercy. Of it. Of the river.
A. Not flip. Just. A sleeping position.
B. Or the lake.
A. And I fall asleep.
B. Time is also not certain.
A. It's not deep , but it's not shallow.
B. Later. you're so much further down the river.
A. A sleep I can remember sleeping.
B. But other laters. not so. much.
A. Maybe I wasn't even asleep.
B. At some point. there aren't banks anymore.
A. Just tired. relaxing. content.
B. The river. the lake. opens up.
A. Not either. all of them.
B. The sun. it's not in the sky anymore. but. it's not dark.
A. The lazy river winds me around itself. I must do six laps.
B. the light doesn't come from anywhere. but.
A. My parents , so scared. When I wake up
B. you can still. see . all of it.
A. I wake up to my name repeated. over and over.
B. You're somewhere you've not ever been. Not on , the lake.
A. Over the loudspeaker. I recognize it.
B. Somewhere else. somewhere.
A. but by now. they've found me.
A. More angry than afraid.
A. Almost had it.

A. You need to wake up.
B. What? I'm awake I just told you about ribbons and europe and how importance of not bragging.

I believe in you
Your words save everyday life
You promise these lands for comfort
Now I'm always blind
I'm not perfect, I know.
Why you give the knowledge
That you know it kills you.
Lives criticize your own
I don't know why but I 'm still in your side

Marfy 2758 facing question
OK, I have made it to the top and facing of this wonderful dress and I now have to figure out how to finish the neckline.
I have never worked on a pleated neck top that didn't have a band around it so I have been stumped.
I foolishly cut a self fabric full facing, not thinking it through. I think its going to be too bulky and not turn correctly.
Here is the pattern pictured with the center front and side front of the dress.
There is actually a stitch line that extends down the pleat about and inch into the top, so the pleat is stitched and reinforced.
The normal way of finishing a neckline would be to stitch the facing to the top all the way around the neckline, then I would have to fold in and stitch the pleat. I think this will make it too bulky at the neckline. If I fold and sew the pleat into the lining and top separately then sew them together I don't think it will lay right.
I think what I am going to end up doing is underlining the entire top with lining, then cutting a facing strip (about 1 1/2" or so) with the pleat folded out of the pattern. Then serge the inside edge of the facing and use that to finish the neckline. Using this method I could even finish the sleeve hem by sewing the shoulder seam first, then sewing the underlining to the top and turning it right side out (I had just planned on having having to use a bias strip on the whole edge), THEN sewing in the pleat in both layers treated as one. Then I could sew on the facing and I would have to hand sew the outer edge of the facing to the lining without letting the pleat get too messy.
OK, what are the odds that I still remember this when I get home tonight? 00.00000
So, I'm glad I wrote it down.
This is one of those occasions when it would be nice to have instructions, but figuring it out myself is half the fun of Marfy!
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

My first order for Marfy 2012
Finally, the picture that I saved to my work computer is available for upload. I was out sick yesterday with sinus problems, but feeling better today. I compiled this with Snag it (love it!) using mostly screen shots captured from the Marfy and Vogue websites.
There were several that I liked that didn't make the cut:
2845 is really cute, and would be fabulously fun to make. But where on earth would I wear it, and it the strapless thing wouldn't look good on me. It might make a cute skirt with just the bottom, but that would be expensive and a lot of work.
2747 is another one I like this, you could make it look stunning in a nice, floaty rayon. Especially in a black and white print with black trim. But it looks like a lot of work to put those bands on there, then sew it.
I did make some progress on 2758 yesterday. I got the pockets in to my satisfaction. Unfortunately the tweed doesn't photograph details well so I will have to figure out a better way to get pictures.

Happy Day
Hey, it's me again.
I finally got a break from the office (don't get me wrong, I love my job) and a new laptop. Its much easier to write when all the keys work.
After much deliberation and questioning I decided to drink the Koolaid and get an Apple. Seriously, Apple lovers seem to be quite committed. So far I am liking it. Now, if only I could get a better blogging program. If anyone has any suggestions, I am open. This is my first attempt at a post in awhile, I'll see if I can't get it to look right without pulling my hair out.
I actually have been sewing some. I am working on my first 2012 Marfy from the new catalog!
I absolutely fell in love with this dress the first time I opened the catalog. The pleats at the neckline draw the eye upward while the pleated pockets seem flattering for those of us without much of a waist. I like the look of the stripes, but I wasn't sure how it would look in pinstripes.
I chose a navy and cream silk and wool that I picked up at EOS a few years back. The tricky part is that its only 45" so it took almost 3 yards. (I cut it with 2" seams on the sides) The biggest size is a 46 so I will probably need every inch. I had planned to use blue for the top but I found the perfect bright silver remnant at High's
I took this shot to show how well the pattern matches up and to remind myself of the layout.
The side front has the inside pocket bag included, and the hip pocket pleats are folded in to show the matching symbols. If I had had any brains I would have stopped here and used this for my lining pattern. I didn't though, so my lining matches the fabric all too well. Now I will have to trim and sew to get it to work without too much bulk.
One more picture because it so much easier now:
This is my new helper Chevy. He loves to eat pins and chew on that crunchy pattern paper.
Now, I must get back to sewing so that I will have more to talk about.
Later, more Marfy patterns and sewing excitement.
Thank you for your patience in my time away. If I had any idea that getting a Mac would make blogging this easy I would have taken the plunge last fall!

Hunter getting trophy.
|Hunter trying to look tough after this first game in the tournament.
|Blake heading into the locker room to finish his 2013 football season. Next year will be a whole new ball game!
This is Hunter's 7th grade Black Select team after their tournament win. They played three games: Yorkville Foxes from Yorkville, IL 12-6. The only team that has ever scored on Hunter's defense. Next they played the Johnston Dragons from Johnston, IL 36-0 and finally Lakeville, MN 33-0 in a very heated game during which our strongest player was ejected from the game for tackling the Lakeville coaches son. After a long embarrassing temper tantrum thrown on the field by the Lakeville coach we agreed to take him out of the game and proceeded to annihilate his team without our star player. Hunter and his defense shut them out. I was disappointed that our MN neighbors behaved so badly.....
|This is Blake with one of his buds we all call Z. They play together on the 6th Grade Black Select tournament team. This weekend they played in the Westsude Fall Classic Tournament. Several teams in their age division from the Midwest came to Des Moines to play. Their team got 3rd in the Select Silver bracket.

|The end of the league football season was Sunday. The 6th grade 49ers won in overtime against the Gilbert Eagles with a one handed catch by Blake Underwood. The 7th grade 49ers beat the Lions in a double overtime win with a final 3 yard fight over the goal line dragging the entire Lion D line with him to score the extra point for a 14 - 13 win. Hunter scored 7 of the 14 points. Above is the traveling trophy with a life size football on top. Big party after the game.
|Fall is here in Iowa. Leaves are turning all around us.
|The boys ran the Loop the Oaks 5K in our neighborhood again this year. The charity this year was raising money for military service dogs. Hunter won the prize for the brightest outfit. It is really all about what you are wearing. Hunter came in 4th for men, Blake was 5th and Dave was 8th. It was a beautiful day.

Sir David Wilkie The Lost Receipt Etching

The Lost ReceiptHere is what is considered the artist best known and loved work. Sir David Wilkie "The Lost Receipt" is a etching measuring 5 5/8 inches by 6 1/8 inches (plate-mark) printed on antique laid paper, in good condition and is unsigned. Comes professionally framed and ready to grace your walls for many years of enjoyment. Sir David Wilkie (November 18, 1785 — June 1, 1841) was a Scottish painter-etcher. Wilkie was the son of the parish minister of Cults in Fife. He developed a love for art at an early age. In 1799, after he had attended school at Pitlessie, Kettle and Cupar, his father reluctantly agreed to his becoming a painter. Through the influence of the Earl of Leven Wilkie was admitted to the Trustees' Academy in Edinburgh, and began the study of art under John Graham. From William Allan (afterwards Sir William Allan and president of the Royal Scottish Academy) and John Burnet, the engraver of Wilkie works, we have an interesting account of his early studies, of his indomitable perseverance and power of close application, of his habit of haunting fairs and marketplaces, and transferring to his sketchbook all that struck him as characteristic and telling in figure or incident, and of his admiration for the works of Carse and David Allan, two Scottish painters of scenes from humble life. Among his pictures of this period are mentioned a subject from Macbeth, Ceres in Search of Proserpine, and Diana and Calisto, which in 1803 gained a premium of ten guineas at the Trustees' Academy, while his pencil portraits of himself and his mother, dated that year, and now in the possession of the Duke of Buccleuch, prove that Wilkie had already attained considerable certainty of touch and power of rendering character. A scene from Allan Ramsay, and a sketch from Mac Neill's ballad of Scotland's Skaith, afterwards developed into the well-known Village Politicians, were the first subjects in which his true artistic individuality began to assert itself.In 1804 Wilkie returned to Cults, established himself in the manse, and began his first important subject-picture, Pitlessie Fair, which includes about 140 figures, and in which he introduced portraits of his neighbors and of several members of his family circle. In addition to this elaborate figure-piece, Wilkie was much employed at the time upon portraits, both at home and in Kinghorn, St Andrews and Aberdeen. In the spring of 1805 he left Scotland for London, carrying with him his Bounty-Money, or the Village Recruit, which he soon disposed of for £6, and began to study in the schools of the Royal Academy. One of his first patrons in London was Stoddard, a pianoforte maker, a distant connection of the Wilkie family, who commissioned his portrait and other works and introduced the young artist to the dowager-countess of Mansfield. This lady's son was the purchaser of the Village Politicians, which attracted great attention when it was exhibited in the Royal Academy of 1806, where it was followed in the succeeding year by the Blind Fiddler, a commission from the painter's lifelong friend Sir George Beaumont.

How money money does one have to make to be considered ""rich""?
How money money does one have to make to be considered ""rich""?
While being admittedly stacked in the `Working Poor` class, I`d consider myself `Middle Class` range based on both my net worth coupled with my cost of living.
If I make 25,000/year and am only forced to spend half of it during that time, another person could make twice that, half to pay half of THAT sum only to be considered `Middle Class` when he`s forced to spend more in the long run, making myself richer than he in the end.
Ratio`s change based on where you live. I may not make a lot, but nor do I have to SPEND a lot. I`m middle class no matter how they categorize it.
