Indian Police Bust Baby Sale Racket
Indian police have busted a baby-selling racket by arresting five people including a doctor in the central state of Madhya Pradesh, The Times of India reported Tuesday.
The report said police in Madhya Pradesh's provincial capital Bhopal received information that newborn babies were being sold to childless couples by the Shanti Super Specialty Hospital.
Baby boys were sold by the hospital for 35,000 rupees (740 dollars) while infant girls fetched a price of about 30,000 rupees (640 dollars), the report said.
On being tipped off about the racket, the police sent two officers to the hospital disguised as a couple interested in buying a baby.
After negotiations, the couple was informed two weeks later that a baby girl would be available for 30,000 rupees, the report said.
The police couple then went to the hospital followed by a team of uniformed officers, who caught five people after the "sale" of the baby girl was completed.
The superintendent of the hospital and the baby's biological father were among those arrested, although the mother managed to escape, the report said.
It was not known how many babies had been sold in the racket -- AFP

As the final seconds ticked away, victory secure for the 12th-seeded North Dakota State Bison over Oklahoma of the Big 12, San Diego State fans in Spokane Arena awaiting their game politely clapped. They didn't join the whoops and hollers for the underdog, didn't roar for the improbable.
They've seen this phenomenon before.
This is Florida Gulf Coast, with parkas, without alligators.
North Dakota State felled the fifth-seeded Sooners 80-75 in overtime and won its first NCAA Tournament game as a Division I program with the sort of anonymous roster that wooed the nation a year ago, when 15th-seeded Florida Gulf Coast upset Georgetown and then SDSU to reach the Sweet 16.
Here's how the Bison did it:
It had six offensive rebounds to Oklahoma's 18. It had five more turnovers. It had two fewer assists. It took 19 fewer shots. It had two starters foul out.
Its secret: Don't miss.
The Bison (26-6) leads the nation in field-goal shooting at 50.9 percent while making 74.7 percent of its free throws. On Thursday night it was even better: 52.9-percent shooting and 20 of 22 from the line.
Bison guard Lawrence Alexander (28 points, 10-of-15 shooting) leveled it at 66 with a contested 3-pointer with 11 seconds left on a play that was not designed for him. (Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said he would have intentionally fouled if there were "six or seven seconds remaining.") The Sooners had the final crack in regulation but missed three shots before the buzzer.
It was tied at 72 with 1:39 left in overtime, only for the Bison to score eight unanswered points – four by little-used freshman Carlin Dupree after he was pressed into duty when leading scorer Taylor Braun fouled out.
It was the second straight year Oklahoma (23-10) made an early exit from the tournament, losing to SDSU 70-55 last year in Philadelphia. The Sooners got 25 points from Cameron Clark but launched 30 3s and shot 34.7 percent overall.
"It's harder to be them than us in this situation," North Dakota State coach Saul Phillips said. "It's harder to be a 5 than a 12. If we lose, everybody would have been disappointed back home for a night, and then they would have talked about how great of a season we had."

John Denver Should Be On The List!
I asked Randy if John Denver was on the list of top 40 Country Songs of All Time according to Taste of Country.
He said NO!
Well, he should be! Don't you think? And this song should be the one!
How could "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" NOT be on the list??
We lost John Denver too early in a crash of a plane he was flying in 1997. I cried when I heard the news. When I heard about Randy Travis being in the hospital, it brought me back to hearing about John Denver.
I would DEFINITELY have voted for this song to be in the Top 40!! Do you agree?
Here is John and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band live at Farm Aid in 1985 with 'Thank God I'm A Country Boy". ENJOY!!

1. The Railway Development Society is an
independent lobby group promoting the Railfuture campaign for
better rail services. Railfuture wants to see a greater modal
switch of passengers and freight traffic from road to rail, and
a programme of improvements to the UK rail network to accommodate
this growth.
2. Railfuture backs rail because it offers
a safer, more efficient and environmentally sustainable alternative
to the uncontrolled growth of motorised road transport. As a consumer
organisation Railfuture is an independent voice for rail users.
Railfuture also influences decision-makers to fund and provide
better rail services, and promote and encourage greater use of
3. Railfuture is promoting major investment
in and improvements to the national and local rail networks to
provide for the needs of inter-city, regional, local and commuter
passenger services, and also freight services. Railfuture believes
the greater use of rail is an important way to reduce air pollutin,
conserve fuel, reduce noise, tackle congestion and achieve a better
quality of life for many communities.
4. Railfuture wants improved access to the
rail network, through more efficient services serving new stations
and new routes. Trains can then carry more passengers and freight
faster and more safely, be accessible to all and able to provide
good, convenient services for a wide range of journeys.
5. Railfuture works to promote expansion
of the rail network and capacity for passenger and freight services
through re-opening disused or abandoned railway lines, restoring
stations and constructing new rail links where these are needed
to provide greater capacity and flexibility in the network.
6. Railfuture works to promote sustainable
land-use transport and planning policies at national, regional
and local levels that encourage the greater use of rail and public
transport, discourage unnecessary car or heavy goods vehicle use
and promote public transport, walking and cycling wherever possible
and practical.
1. Railfuture believes that the Government
Transport Policy should prioritise investment in public transport
networks. Improving rail and complementary bus services will help
promote more sustainable transport modes and so reduce society's
reliance on cars. Investment in, and the co-ordination of, public
transport networks will bring about actual and perceived benefits
for the economy and bus and train passengers.
2. This additional investment sought from
both Government and the private sector operators should deliver
better services for all public transport users (rail and bus passengers)
also pedestrians and cyclists.
1. Railfuture works to promote integration
of rail services with all other transport modes, a fundamental
element in developing sustainable transport policies. National,
regional and Local Authority (LA) planning policies must anticipate
the need for, and promote, improved facilities for all sustainable
transport modes.
2. Railfuture believes planning policy must
promote changes in working practices and identify locations where
new development will minimise the need to travel, moving away
from the growth in low-density dispersed settlements in outer-suburban
or rural locations, often taking green-field sites, towards re-cycling
of "brown-field" sites, preferably close to existing,
or sites for potential new, railway stations.
3. A new approach to land-use and transport
planning policies is needed to ensure development is not focused
on road based locations, such as edge of town or motorway intersection
sites and so reduce the need for car travel. Development should
be guided towards rail served locations and higher density clusters
closer to town centres served by existing public transport networks
wherever possible.
4. Wherever possible both business and housing
developments should be subject to "green" travel plans,
with Section 106 developer contributions directed towards public
transport schemes, particularly those enhancing rail facilities
and services, and supporting feeder bus services rather than simply
road based access schemes.
1. Railfuture wants to see the most appropriate
and effective use of railway resources, taking into consideration
demographic trends and planning needs, the environmental benefits
of freight on rail over road, public safety and commercial issues.
2. Access to the rail network must be improved,
not only through higher service frequencies on existing routes,
but also through the reopening of stations, freight only or abandoned
routes and, where appropriate, the construction of new stations,
freight depots and rail links.
3. Planning policy must measure and evaluate
the extent of long distance commuting by roadparticularly
on motorwaysand identify those trips where modal switch
may be encouraged and achieved, or whether the journey needs to
be made at all.
4. The planning process must influence retail
distribution logistics operations where centralisation has led
to many unnecessary road-freight transits, when even local produce
must go through central depots. As road and air freight movement
is relatively cheap, overseas products can often undercut home
produced goods.
5. Demand management is one tool that must
be considered, but limitations of the "is that journey really
necessary?" methodology is recognised. The Government must
review its plans to expand capacity on motorways and trunk roads
which should not proceed without first programming and funding
significantly higher levels of investment in rail and local bus
networks to increase their capacity.
1. Railfuture recognises the role cars play
in maintaining personal mobility, especially in rural communities
where public transport is often inadequate and distances travelled
may preclude cycling and walking.
2. Railfuture wants Government to promote
the sensible use of cars so that rail and public transport use
is at the heart of everyday life for most people living in urban
areas. Railfuture actively discourages long distance commuting
by road and, in particular, those trips where modal switch could
be achieved or the need for making the journey at all can be reasonably
3. Railfuture is concerned at the prospect
of any significant increase in new road construction. Where there
may be a case for improving road access or construction of a local
bypass, this must be part of a package that includes improved
access to local public transport and provision of better rail
and bus services.
1. Railfuture recognises that Park-and-Ride
schemes can play an important role in encouraging motorists to
switch to rail. Rail-based park and ride should be prioritised
over bus-based park and ride if possible. Schemes must be carefully
evaluated to ensure they support rather than undermine the efficacy
of existing local public transport services.
2. Park-and-Ride has a particularly important
role at both outer-suburban and rural stations that serve smaller
towns or dispersed communities. Park-and-Ride can be complemented
by demand based local bus or community transport networks as part
of rail-focussed local transport plans.
1. Railfuture supports the development light
rail schemes particularly where they complement existing rail
services. Light rail is clearly an effective way to encourage
motorists out of their cars. Where new light rail schemes are
promoted they should be fully integrated with the existing railway
system and other public transport networks, offering through ticketing
and timetabled connections.
2. Railfuture prefers retention of existing
railways, suitably electrified and controlled with modern management
systems rather than conversion to light rail. Where major benefits
can be shown, Railfuture does support light rail schemes that
replace lightly used conventional rail services, as demonstrated
in Croydon.
3. New light rail routes should be built
notionally to track gauge and structural dimensions to permit
later conversion to conventional rail operation if traffic should
warrant conversion to a Metro type network.
4. Similarly the technology to permit light
rail on the Railtrack network should be developed to enable smaller
centres to work up light rail schemes using existing lightly trafficked
rail routes. This will allow light rail services to penetrate
town centres without requiring fully segregated operation from
conventional trains, following the German Karlsruhe model.
5. Where an existing route is converted
to light rail the capability for "through-running" from
the Railtrack network should be considered to maintain facilities
for freight movement, even if at limited times.
1. Railfuture recognises that buses are
a very important part of our public transport system. Buses should
be integrated wherever possible with rail services to provide
a "seamless" journey for public transport users.
2. Buses should "feed" into rail
services, over routes which will enable bus services to exploit
effective on-street bus priority measures. Bus and coach stations,
bus interchanges or stops should be conveniently located next
to railway stations. Train and bus timetables should be harmonised
wherever possible.
3. Rail is a more effective mode for many
urban and suburban journeys and should be the preferred mode for
longer distances. Buses are not as successful as trains or trams
in tempting motorists out of their cars.
4. Railfuture campaigns against the permanent
replacement of trains with buses. Bus services should not be substituted
for rail as part of any planning or management policy.
5. When buses or coaches are substituted
for trains in exceptional circumstances, vehicles should have
as many of the qualities of trains as possible, such as facilities
for carrying cycles, and for longer journeys basic refreshment
facilities and lavatories.
6. Cross-Country coach services should be
routed wherever possible to maximise interchange with passenger
trains at railway stations, as well as other local bus services.
1. Railfuture supports Travelcard, Carnet
and Rover tickets that can be used on buses and trains within
local areas or regions over a time-span. Like through tickets,
these encourage greater use of public transport.
2. These multi-use tickets should be marketed
widely because of their flexibility, and also offer value for
money with significant discounts to passengers. All operators
must issue and accept through tickets.
3. Information about services, timetables
and fares must be readily available. Train and bus operators and
LAs must ensure timetables are easy to read and understand, and
displayed at stations and bus stops. Operators and LAs must also
ensure booklets are readily available, and web-sites regularly
1. Railfuture campaigns for a simple, understandable,
easy-to-use national fares structure that encourages people to
use trains as a regular part of their daily lives.
2. Railfuture wants affordable fares for
walk-on passengers that are comparable with other networks in
Western Europe, demonstrating good value for money. Fares that
are as low as possible with generously discounted off-peak and
book-ahead tickets, will give rail a favourable image and encourage
more travel.
3. Through tickets for journeys between
all stations of all rail systems, and between all modes and operators
should be readily available as part of an integrated network.
Supplementary or add-on fares should include all available discounts.
1. Railfuture supports bus priority measures,
and busway schemes on existing roads or new routes, that provide
better public transport services to complement existing rail and
bus services. Guided busways on roads should only be considered
if rail or light rail schemes were not viable.
2. Railfuture does not support the conversion
of existing or former rail routes to busways. Rail must be given
prime consideration as the most effective means of achieving modal
switch from cars in the medium to longer term. Busway conversions
would also prevent further access for railfreight to the area
1. Railfuture believes further electrification
of main lines and urban networks throughout the UK will bring
major improvements to services and the environment, as well as
a more modern image for railways.
2. Railfuture supports electrification as
in comparison to diesel, electric trains can provide an improved
passenger environment at stations and on trains, and a more pleasant
journey. Electric trains can be less polluting, lowering emissions
at the point of use, and are cheaper to operate in the longer
3. An electrification policy is needed firstly
to upgrade the "infill" routes, to link existing electric
lines and complete networks, so that operational gains and passenger
and environmental benefits may be quickly realised. Some minor
lines should also be electrified to develop local and regional
4. Railfuture argues that a policy to develop
electric urban networks with metro-style services will benefit
all users and make a major contribution towards traffic reduction
strategies in larger cities and conurbations.
1. Railfuture works to promote the maximum
use of rail (and where appropriate water) transport for bulk and
long distance freight movement to reduce reliance on heavy lorries
(HGVs). Freight policy must promote modal transfer of freight
wagon or container loads from road haulage onto rail, or rail
and water for bulky or non-perishable goods.
2. Government policy must ensure railfreight
can play a fuller part in freight transportation and ensure a
"level playing field" exists between rail and road.
It is essential to identify and develop alternative approaches
to road haulage for intermediate distance freight movement. Enhancing
the existing, and providing additional, rail network capacity
for freight traffic is essential.
3. Route modernisation or upgrading programmes
must be versatile so that freight services can operate along with
passenger trains. Where possible these should be to the W10 European
standard, to accommodate international wagons, recommended by
the Railfreight Group (Railtrack proposes the smaller W9 Gauge).
4. Railfuture believes routes for developing
rail-borne Channel Tunnel traffic such as via Tonbridge, Redhill,
Reading and Oxford to the Midlands and beyond should be upgraded
at the earliest opportunity to expand capacity and achieve significant
modal switch for international goods movement from road transport.
1. Road haulage is a fundamental component
of modern logistics but Railfuture believes that rail freight
does not currently fulfil its potential in moving goods that are
predominantly handled in lorry-loads.
2. Heavy lorry use is excessive and there
is considerable potential to transfer goods traffic to rail. Increased
investment in road-rail transfer facilities and the development
of "piggy-pack" road-rail goods distribution systems
could transfer more freight traffic to rail.
3. Railfuture believes the Government must
actively promote better enforcement of regulations on road-worthiness
and overloading of vehicles as well as speeding, drivers hours
and other safety matters.
1. Railfuture supports policies to promote
rail as a prime mover in international travel within Europe. Railfuture
wants a fully integrated European rail network that competes effectively
with air travel where international trains can serve both London
and specific provincial centres.
2. European Governments should promote more
sustainable alternatives to internal air services and short haul
routes into Europe by promoting and developing the European High-speed
rail network within the UK.
3. Railfuture believes journeys less than
500 kilometres should be made by rail wherever possible, rather
than by air. This is because of the high environmental cost of
short-haul air travel in relation to the distance covered. Railfuture
supports the call for airline fuel costs to reflect more accurately
the pollution aircraft causes.
4. Rail access to ports and airports should
be improved, enabling growth in passenger numbers using these
facilities to be accommodated on public transport.
5. Rail should be the main distribution
network for international sea-borne container based traffic wherever
possible and international wagon and trainload freight movement
should be actively promoted.
1. Railfuture believes Britain's railways
can deliver high performance safely, as well as being the safest
means of travel. Railfuture wants a high standard of protection
for passengers both in terms of operational and personal safety
and the prevention of accidents.
2. Railfuture supports measures to make
the UK rail network safer for passengers at a realistic cost.
Experience has shown modern trains with integrally constructed
carriages are durable and robust. Any extra costs of implementing
network-wide safety systems like Automatic Train Protection (ATP)
and Train Protection Warning System (TPWS) should be met jointly
by Government, Railtrack and train operators.
3. Railfuture believes potential for driver
error should be minimised through effective staff training and
industry regulations that ensure rail operators are fully accountable
and co-operative when dealing with safety issues, and that procedures
are coherent and transparent.
4. Any costs of implementing safety measures
should not be passed on to fares, as increases would deter people
from travelling by rail. Station safety with increased staffing,
improved lighting and help points form an essential part of the
secure station concept which demonstrably generates fare revenue.
1. Railfuture believes the importance of
safe and secure facilities for pedestrians and cyclists using
rail cannot be underestimated. Safe facilities to improve access
for passengers with mobility impairments also benefit all passengers.
All stations should have secure storage for cycles, where possible
under cover or monitored by CCTV.
2. Trains should provide sufficient space
to meet the reasonable needs of all passengers, whether accompanied
by luggage, a wheelchair or bicycle. Operators should provide
improved facilities and wherever possible operate longer trains
to meet the needs and demands of all customers.
3. Cyclists are an important business market
for rail operators. Railfuture argues cyclists should not need
to book a place for a cycle or pay an extra charge to take it
on a train. People who need to take their cycles on trains regularly
should be able to obtain a national or regional pass for carrying
them at peak hours.

FYI Template Conflicts
More For Your Information:
Your plugin does not work with all templates. Since all developers create their templates different, I had to code a fix to filter the landing pages and give them a different header and footer.
Note: I like this plugin, It has proved a way for me to create specialized landing pages that are also highly configurable so my members don't need to pay monthly for landing pages and mine are a whole lot nicer, so it's even more awesome.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of major bugs that need to be fixed before I can have my members use it. They need to be able to install new plugins with having the deactivate the plugin and I need my community to give access to my main site with out redirecting to 404 pages.

Harlan Graphics and FRCH partner on sumptuous graphics for Chi-nnati's restaurant.
Most of the photos were taken by a local photographer. FRCH made recommendations on image selection, and the owner purchased the photos directly. "Image selection was based on…combining imagery reflecting the details of the Cincinnati and Chicago cityscapes that would resonate with residents of either place," says Wizinsky.
The images were printed with an Océ LightJet 430 onto Kodak Metallic Endura black-and-white and color paper. While there are obvious landmarks like the Sears Tower and Wrigley Field, other shots are of locations known mostly to locals, so there's something in it for Chicago and Cincinnati natives alike.
Bathroom Branding
No "blah" ADA signage here: Harlan recreated the found-type logo from the hostess stand on polypropylene paper using an 8-color HP Designjet Z6100; a clear, 1/4-inch, non-glare acrylic ADA substrate by Rowmark was added on top. A Beam Dynamic laser was used to die-cut the 1/32-inch letters, and a Vision-2448 Engraving System was used to create the Braille.
Can't Stand the Heat
Lightbox panels, set above television displays in the bar area, were designed to bring some warmth to the main room. The graphics were designed in Adobe Illustrator, then output using the shop's Océ LightJet 430 onto backlit Kodak Professional Duratrans display material. Next came an overlay of clear-mount, 1/4-inch, non-glare, clear acrylic. The finished product has a metallic quality.
Tasty Alternatives
As with any project, budget was a concern. Initially, the restaurant's owner wanted a large mirror engraved with various quotes about pizza, but when the cost of the mirror itself proved prohibitive, the team regrouped and delivered another option.
To solve the problem, Harlan produced this 40 x 60-inch print. Here, it turned to its EFI Vutek PressVu UV 320/400, outputting the graphics onto 13-ounce Fredrix 1008 Solvent Polyflax Canvas; this was then stretched across a wooden frame.
Digital printing enabled FRCH and Harlan to deliver everything the owner asked for instead of scrapping concepts. Sometimes the new ideas required some tweaking, but, "All the visual elements that were conceived were executed," says Harlan's Tom Wendt.
Other canvases featured icons that had also been used on the atrium shadowbox and the exterior billboard. These icons were created in Adobe Illustrator as vector art, so scaling them up to large sizes was not an issue.
Chi-nnati's atrium shadowbox is a good example of how all the restaurant's graphics and signage—even on an assortment of substrates—tie together.
Harlan ran two Evonik Acrylite acrylic panels through its HP Scitex FB6700 and set these apart with an aluminum frame to create depth. The back panel—an acrylic mirror—was printed with the found type logo and then slightly distorted with a 1/2-inch thick clear panel, which was printed on its backside with the same ingredient icons seen throughout the interior. A MultiCam M Series router was used to cut the panels. The shadowbox measures 42 x 84 x 2 inches.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Shells Restaurant Review: Shells has been sprinkling its casual, fresh seafood restaurants throughout the South, wanting to become the favorite seafood spot in every neighborhood it settles in. While the look and feel may vary from place to place, the menu is the same, emphasizing seafood-catfish, shrimp, crab legs, lobster and fresh fish of the day. Many items are served with or on pasta. One of our favorites is Seafood Siciliano, a seafood mix with tomatoes, mushrooms and onions sautéed in an Italian red sauce. Those not in the mood for seafood can find a few items for their tastes, too, such as New York Strip Steak or char-grilled chicken breast. There could be a few more desserts on the menu-four seems to be the standard.

Crockery. It's good to eat your dinner off and to throw at people when you're having an argument. In its posher incarnation, it's also the type of thing some people like to get for wedding presents or to collect and display in those strange little plate stands. For this type of person, Stoke-on-Trent is heaven: Wedgwood, Spode and Royal Doulton all have factories here, in the heart of the potteries. Nearby Stafford describes itself as a "fine county town" and is mildly more picturesque.
Staffordshire is committed to opening access to higher education. All school leavers in the region are guaranteed a place, as long as they meet minimum requirements. Of the two main campuses, Stoke is the larger, a short walk from the city centre and close to the train station. Stafford is smaller but prettier and more rural, a bus ride away from town. It boasts the multimillion-pound Octagon Centre, with hi-tech computing facilities. There is a third site at Lichfield, and Staffordshire University qualifications are offered to students studying as far away as China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka. Courses are strongly vocational, with business being the biggest of the schools.
Top-rated teaching departments
Media studies, nursing and economics all do well. Makes a nod to the local speciality with courses in ceramics.
Top-rated research departments
Art and design, and communication, cultural and media studies were the top dogs in a so-so RAE in 2001, both getting a 4 rating.
Celebrity academics
Vice-chancellor Professor Christine King is founder and past chair of the Through the Glass Ceiling network of senior female managers, and co-author of the book of the same title.
Head count
At the last count there were 14, 675 students, 51% of them male. About a fifth of students are part-timers, and 40% are over 21. More than half of students come from within a 50-mile radius.
Academic pay
Towards the lower end in the pay tables. Professors of social sciences on around £42,000; lecturers in subjects related to medicine earn about £31,000.
Mostly temperate, if a tad damp.
Transport links
There's a regular bus between Stafford and Stoke, or the train, which takes less than 25 minutes. Not so handy in the dead of night, mind you. It's an hour or so up the M6 to Manchester, about the same the other way, to Birmingham. Trains from Stoke or Stafford will get you to London in a couple of hours; Manchester is 45 minutes from Stoke by train.
Neither Stoke nor Stafford could claim to be on the bleeding edge of entertainment, though Manchester and Birmingham are both close enough for a big night out. Should you feel disinclined to commute, however, you won't find it impossible to find ways to pass the time closer to home. The central location means that Stoke catches national tours on their way to Manchester and Liverpool - try the Regent theatre or Victoria hall in Stoke, or the Gatehouse in Stafford. The New Vic in nearby Newcastle (that's under Lyme, not on Tyne) is also worth a look. There are cinema multiplexes in Newcastle or at Festival Park; there's also the independent film theatre in Stoke. Nearby, there's Alton Towers - or the Peak District, for more sedate thrills. Failing all of that, you could always go and look at some china.
In Stoke, you could try Hillside primary. St Peter's CofE is a good choice after that; it's a specialist language college. St Joseph's is really good from 11 to 18 - if you can get in. Staffordshire LEA is a touch stronger. Try All Saints CofE for primary, then Thomas Alleyne's high school.
House prices
Stafford is the pricier of the two: an average detached house costs £254,000. A flat costs an average of £97,000 and, in between the two, you could get a semi for around £144,000. Over in Stoke you could snap up a terraced house for £67,000 or stretch to a detached at a mere £184,000.
What to say in the common room
"Watch out! The bursar's about to chuck the Spode."

Euro sinks as Spain's borrowing costs surge again
Europe's spreading debt crisis pushed the euro down to its lowest point against the dollar in more than two years Tuesday.
The Associated Press
Europe's spreading debt crisis pushed the euro down to its lowest point against the dollar in more than two years Tuesday.
Spain's borrowing rates spiked again Tuesday, pushing the country closer to needing a financial lifeline. Investors worry that if Spain has to be rescued, the rest of Europe won't be able to afford it.
The yield on Spain's 10-year government bond spiked above 7.5 percent, a sign that investors are worried about the country's ability to pay its debts. Experts believe that those rates are unsustainable in the long run. Greece, Ireland and Portugal had to ask for emergency financial support after their borrowing rates rose above 7 percent.
Traders also sold the euro after Moody's ratings agency lowered its outlook for Germany, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, saying those stronger countries might have to give financial aid to Spain or Italy.
The euro fell to $1.2061 late Tuesday from $1.2125 late Monday. The euro fell as low as $1.2041 earlier, its lowest point against the dollar since June 2010.
The British pound fell to $1.5504 from $1.5521. The dollar rose to 0.9957 Swiss franc from 0.9906 Swiss franc and to 1.0220 Canadian dollar from 1.0176 Canadian dollar.
The dollar fell to 78.18 Japanese yen from 78.40 yen.

Leaving my WiFi on zaps the crap out of my battery. This normal behavior at this stage or is it just mine?
Nope. Leaving wifi on = best way to save battery (since it uses far less power to transfer data than the cell connection). The exception is if you have a misbehaving home network that spams your phone and wakes it up all the time.
Why not just use JuiceDefender?
Someone posted in the I747 thread that with the latest nightly they got HDMI out working. Anybody had success with our phone? I gave it a go, but no luck. What am I missing?

Now, is it just me, or is there no way to edit the individual color channels? Specifically, alpha? If I can't edit the alpha channel, I don't see how it's a useful program for creating game graphics. Please tell me I'm just missing something obvious.

For me at start it was more out of necessity, to find a viable alternative to earn some extra income, due to some difficulties to develop further my other career.
Now, after almost three years, is the main income source. But it hasn't eaten away the passion to do it for fun. On the contrary. The financial security permits to have time to develop personal works and more complex projects (not necessarily for stock).
In five years from now I'd like to have built an established 'brand' in microstock, as stated in the excellent Ellen Boughn's blog.
Parallel to that would like to have established a name also in more 'creative' photography, for which I'm building a portfolio right now.
What is your experience, your motivation and your final aim?

According to Filmfacts, after the film's initial theatrical engagements, as well as its showing at the Cannes Film Festival in 1972, it was distributed under the titles The Boy Next Door and Sex and the Teenager. Information on the MPAA website states that the picture was originally rated R in 1971 but was re-edited in order to receive a GP rating.
According to 1969 news items, the rights to S. J. Wilson's novel were purchased by Columbia Pictures in January 1969. In February 1969, Variety reported that the purchase was overseen by former New York Times critic Bosley Crowther, who left his longtime post at the newspaper to work as a story consultant and editor for Columbia. Later 1969 news items noted that the project was to be produced for Columbia as the first joint venture for Phil Feldman Productions and Rastar Productions, which was headed by Ray Stark. In October 1969, Hollywood Reporter announced that Arnold Schulman would make his directorial debut with To Find a Man, and that production would begin in December 1969. Although Schulman did write the picture's screenplay, he was replaced as director by Buzz Kulik in early March 1971, according to a Hollywood Reporter news item. It has not been determined how much of the footage directed by Schulman was used in the completed picture.
In a March 1972 Hollywood Reporter interview, producer Irving Pincus related that filming of the picture was delayed for so long because of the legalization of abortion in New York City in 1970, which occurred during pre-production. As a result, the screenplay had to be revised, as the original conflict arose because the leading female character could not obtain a legal abortion. According to the article, it was suggested by Columbia executive Gerald Ayres that the filmmakers solve the problem by lowering the age of the protagonists to mid-teens, thereby heightening the drama.
Filmfacts also reported that by the time the picture began production in February 1971, Phil Feldman and his production company were no longer involved with the project, and Lloyd Bridges had replaced James Broderick in the role of "Frank McCarthy." According to a March 1971 Daily Variety article Rita Gam had been signed to play "a wealthy ex-model involved with a young lover," but there is no confirmation from contemporary sources that she appeared in the completed picture. Additionally, actresses Heather MacRae and Judith Searle were "apparently replaced or edited out of the final print," according to Filmfacts. A January 1971 Daily Variety news item announcing Searle's casting stated that she would portray "a wealthy divorcee." Modern sources include Vicki Sue Robinson in the cast.
Although a July 1971 Daily Variety news item announced that Helen Reddy had been signed to compose and sing a title song for the picture, no post-production contemporary sources confirm her involvement with the project. As noted by contemporary sources, the picture was shot on location in New York City and Dobbs Ferry, CT, with interiors filmed at the F&B Ceco Studios in New York City. To Find a Man marked the motion picture debut of Pamela Sue Martin, and was the only film featuring Darren O'Connor.

With over 140 million copies in print, and serving as the principal proselytizing tool of one of the world's fastest growing faiths, the Book of Mormon is undoubtedly one of the most influential religious texts produced in the western world. Written by Terryl Givens, a leading authority on Mormonism, this compact volume offers the only concise, accessible introduction to this extraordinary work.
Givens examines the Book of Mormon first and foremost in terms of the claims that its narrators make for its historical genesis, its purpose as a sacred text, and its meaning for an audience which shifts over the course of the history it unfolds. The author traces five governing themes in particular - revelation, Christ, Zion, scripture, and covenant - and analyzes the Book's central doctrines and teachings. Some of these resonate with familiar 19th-century religious preoccupations; others consist of radical and unexpected takes on topics from the fall of Man to Christ's mortal ministries and the meaning of atonement. Givens also provides samples of a cast of characters that number in the hundreds, and analyzes representative passages from a work that encompasses tragedy, poetry, sermons, visions, family histories, and military chronicles.
Finally, this introduction surveys the contested origins and production of a work held by millions to be scripture, and reviews the scholarly debates that address questions of the record's historicity.Here then is an accessible guide to what is, by any measure, an indispensable key to understanding Mormonism. But it is also an introduction to a compelling and complex text that is too often overshadowed by the controversies that surround it.
In a hurry? Listen to more Very Short Introductions.

"Good overview of Mormonism"
My daughter converted to Mormonism. This work helped me understand their belief system so I can dialog with her more fully.
"And it came to pass..."
"The Book of Mormon likewise shatters familiar religious paradigms and reconfigures them with a totality that is resistant to compromise."
- Terryl L. Givens, The Book of Mormon: A Very Short Introduction.
Terryl Givens' Very Short Introduction (VSI #219) to The Book of Mormon is my third selection of Oxford's Very Short Introduction series. I read it 1) because I'm a bit obsessed with the series, 2) I've been following Givens for some time and respect the work he has done and the rigor he uses when writing about LDS topics and the Book of Mormon for Oxford and others. I wanted to examine this because it was a topic I was very familiar with having studied the Book of Mormon and much of the literature surrounding it the last couple decades. I wasn't expecting to find much new in the book, and since it WAS written as an introduction to a general audience, I didn't find much new. But that doesn't mean I didn't find anything new. I rather enjoyed Givens' focus on the change of audience throughout the Book of Mormon and appreciated his analysis of the limitations of the Book of Mormon as literature. So, obviously, this is the issue with VSIs. To the reader very familiar with the subject, the books, no matter how carefully written end up being a bit of a disappointment and a retread. So, read this if you aren't familiar with the BOM, read it if you aren't familiar with the origin, narrators, structure, themes, stories, teachings of the BOM. But if you are, you might try some of Givens' more academic pieces that delve deeper.
Reading this reminds me that I still need to finish By the Hand of Mormon: The American Scripture That Launched a New World Religion and start Givens' other Oxford published books: People of Paradox: A History of Mormon Culture and Wrestling the Angel: The Foundations of Mormon Thought: Cosmos, God, Humanity. I really have neglected my LDS theology shelf the last four or five years.
"Appropriate title; insigtful teaser"
Scholarly, well-written overview of the times, the themes and the messages of the Book of Mormon and the consistency of God's dealings with record keeping civilizations. This intro contains numerous notable examples of the depth of Dr. Givens' plumbed insights into the book and its value for any reader.
"Excellent insightful & objective introduction"
Givens provides a thorough insight to the Book of Mormon from multiple perspectives that believers and investigators will find tremendously useful.
"An interesting and scholarly review"
This is a meticulously researched overview of The Book of Mormon that covers it both a scriptural text and a historical document.

The Princess Series for three-year-old fillies continues at Randwick tomorrow and the latest installment, the 2012 Tea Rose Stakes (1500m) appears to be an exciting affair.
Dear Demi is favourite $3.20 after her terrific win in the Furious Stakes just ahead of Meidung who finished second in both the Furious and Silver Shadow Stakes.
Others at the top end of the market are the Bart Cummings-trained Norzita ($4.40) and Chris Waller's Jade Marauder ($5.00).
Unsure who to back in the latest leg of the Princess Series? Keep reading as the hard work has been done for you by the Races.com.au team of experts.
The Winner
#6 Norzita $4.40
If you look at the form guide it will show this Bart Cummings-trained filly was beaten 2 1/2 lengths when second in a benchmark 69 race at Rosehill on September 1.
But if you look at who beat her it is hard to look past the daughter of Thorn Park. Proisir. The Gai Waterhouse-trained colt is unbeaten with three dominant wins including a six-length romp at Newcastle in Wednesday's Group 3 Spring Stakes.
That is a good form line with this filly who signalled her potential when winning by more than a length in her second career start at Rosehill in July.
The Placings
#1 Dear Demi $3.20 and #3 Jade Marauder $5.00
Dear Demi was mighty impressive when winning the Furious Stakes and there is no reason why that can't continue here.
She's headed towards the VRC Oaks so will appreciate the extra distance and the big Randwick track should play into her favour.
Jade Marauder has always shown promise and she looked like she is nearly ready to live up to that in the Furious Stakes when producing a flying finish to score third spot. Should improve here.

Gov. Jerry Brown implores California voters: Please raise taxes!
Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday proposed a ballot initiative that would ask Californians to raise taxes on themselves.
Facing huge deficits despite $10 billion in budget cuts last year, California needs new tax dollars in order to avoid catastrophic cuts to schools and government services for the elderly, Governor Brown said.
His plan includes a 1 percent income-tax-rate increase for individuals making more than $250,000 per year, and a 2 percent rate increase for those making more than $500,000. It would also increase the state sales tax by half a cent to 7.75 percent.
In total, at least 10 initiatives that propose tax increases are vying to qualify for the 2012 ballot in California – a sign that the state that led the national tax revolt with Proposition 13 in 1978 might now be considering at least a partial reversal of course.
With many states still focused only on cuts, such a bold statement from California could reverberate nationwide – either giving other states cover to try similar measures or showing that, even with budgets in dire straits, tax increases are a political impossibility.
"A victory for tax increases in California could encourage similar moves in other states," says Jack Pitney, a political scientist at Claremont McKenna College. "If the tax measure goes down to defeat – in a blue state running a huge deficit – the effect would be to chill such proposals in other states for many years to come."
Brown's proposal is projected to raise $7 billion per year and would expire in 2016. On Monday, he dismissed the idea of going through the Legislature, where a two-thirds vote is needed for raising taxes. Indeed, Brown tried to go through the Legislature earlier this year to get a tax measure put on the ballot, but Republicans blocked him.
So now the plan is to collect enough citizen signatures to put his plan on the ballot without any input from lawmakers.
"I am going directly to the voters because I don't want to get bogged down in partisan gridlock as happened this year," said Brown in a statement. "The stakes are too high."
He suggested that the state can't make any more cuts responsibly. "Spending is now at levels not seen since the '70s," he said. "Schools have been hurt, and state funding for our universities has been reduced by 25 percent. Support for the elderly and the disabled has fallen to where it was in 1983."

- Artist: Dennis Darling
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 9/10/2002
|your cart is empty
Dennis has been crafting songs in the privacy of his home for thirty years, rarely performing in public, and not going into a studio until October of 2000 when his first CD, SOMEDAY - SONGS OF DOUBT AND FAITH, was created. Shortly thereafter, in March of 2001, the handcrafted house that he and his wife of twenty four years had built through a period of several years burned to the ground, the kind of thing that makes a person stop and think. THIS LITTLE LIGHT, the second CD, was recorded in the months following the fire, and documents the journey of faith that began with SOMEDAY. 'Singing and playing music for people are my way of giving thanks to my Creator for having made me, given me music as a kind of gift, and having allowed me to travel through this amazing world as i have this far,' is about all dennis will offer in the way of explanation or analysis of his songs. Plans for the future include at least two more CD's, one that will be predominantly country-influenced, and one that will lean more toward the quirky folk/jazz feel that is his favorite mode of musical expression. For booking or other information, or personal communication, he can be reached at 1-888-801-9946, leave a message.

I scurried
down the hall. Girls stopped and stared and some giggled. Boys whispered and
pointed. I just wanted to get to class and get away from all the people. The
whispers were getting a bit too much for me so I ducked into the nearest room
and shut the door. At first it didn't seem like anyone was there but there were
tables set up, what looked like it was suppose to be a tropical scene. A boy
with blonde hair popped his head out of one of the small rooms that branched
off of this bigger room, "Oh no, a lovely lady has been left without a
gentleman to keep her safe!" he said and ran over to me, taking my hand and
kissing it. I jerked her head back and backed up.
you scared the poor girl." Another boy walked out of the back room. This one
had black hair, small ovular glasses, and a book on one hand which seemed to
hold his attention.
Be nice." A small blonde boy came running out with a
big pink bunny rabbit in one hand followed by a tall boy with short cropped black
hair and a lax look on his face. The younger looking boy ran over to me and
smiled up at me with his big brown eyes glimmering with happiness, "I'm Mitzkuni
Hanninozuka." He smiled, "But you can call me Hunny-Sempi." He said with the
most adorable smile I'd ever seen.
I smiled at
the young boy, "Im Kira, Kira Shion." I said.
The boy
leaned closer and tugged at a chunk of my hair, "Whoa, that's really cool!" he
smiled, "Normally they don't let people with dyed hair into the school." He
I smiled, "My mother is good friends
with the Headmaster." I admitted.
"Where did you get the idea?" he
"America." I said, "My mother and I
just moved back and people over there have all kinds of strange hairstyles. My
hair was already black so I wanted a bit of color." I said. A little color was
understating it a bit. The underside of my waist length hair was white with all
the colors of the rainbow thrown in there in little thin stripes and the tips
were dyed blood red.
Hunny-sempi grabbed my hand with a
smile and pointed to all the people who seemed to have materialized from out of
no where, "That's Takashi." He said pointing to the tall boy that had followed
him out, "There's Kyoya," he pointed to the boy with his nose in the book and
glasses, "You've already met Tamaki." He said making a face at the blonde boy,
"Those two are the Hitachii twins, Hikaru and Karou." He said pointing to two
identical boys, "And.." he looked around like he was
looking for someone, "Where's Haru-chan?" he asked. The rest of them seemed to
notice that there was someone missing.
"She was in
class today." One of the Hitachii twins said, though I couldn't tell which one because
they looked exactly alike. Suddenly another boy burst through the door
breathing heavily.
"Sorry I'm
late guyes, I had to stay after class and take a test I missed." He said.
"Haru-Chan!" Hunny-sempi shouted and ran over to the boy,
giving him a hug.
Hunny-Sempi." He said hugging him back. There was something off about this one.
His face was a bit too heart shaped, his voice a bit to high and even his
expressions were a bit..feminine. He looked up at me
and a spark of recognization flashed between us. I walked over and circled him
once. Nah, it couldn't be. I thought when I made it back to his face I leaned
closer and searched his light brown eyes, "Umm can I help you miss?" he asked
sounding nervously.
I was
almost sure of it by now. I leaned back from his face and snapped my fingers, "You're
a girl." I said with a smile.

"I think he'll make an excellent pro once he learns how to catch buses on time, be at the airport and discipline himself. He has to learn hockey is the most important thing in his life right now and make the sacrifices."
"It's an emotion that he's got, and he's lucky he's got it; so many people can't express their feelings for other people. I can get pretty emotional, too. Maybe because I'm older I can control it."
"It was painful for me to watch it. I feel bad for him. But that's Mark Messier. The emotion he has ... he's lucky to have it. It's part of what made him great."
"It's painful to watch him. I feel bad for him. But he's lucky because so many people can't really share their feelings. That's the honesty and compassion he's shown throughout his life."
"[RANGERS: Goalie Dan Blackburn, 22, retired, citing permanent nerve damage in his left shoulder from an injury sustained in 2003. New York's first-round pick in the 2001 entry draft, Blackburn hurt his shoulder before the start of camp in 2003 and missed the 2003-04 season.

I had a few ideas in my head and realized that I had a meta-dessert theme happening, each treat more intense than the last. We'll start with Friday nights concoction and move on from there.
I've make these cake bars a couple of times before only using Rolos, but this time around Kyle suggested adding in some Reese's Pieces. Good call, sucka. The original recipe was from Allrecipes.com; however, I totally followed the recipe incorrectly the first time. It turned out so well that I just continued to make it my way. So no need to link to anything else.
This picture isn't the greatest, but it's going to have to do.
Reese's Rolo Cake BarsIngredients
- 1pkg yellow cake mix
- 2/3c sweetened condensed milk (I used fat-free)
- 1/4c melted butter
- 36 Rolos, halved
- 1/2 to 3/4c Reese's Pieces
- Preheat oven to 350 and grease 9x13 pan.
- Mix together cake mix, milk and butter.
- Smash half of the mixture into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10-15 minutes (until golden brown).
- Remove pan from oven and press Rolos, cut-side down, into the warm cake. Then, evenly pour Reese's Pieces over the cake.
- Crumble the rest of the cake mixture over of the Rolos and Reese's Pieces. Bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes until cake mix is baked through.
- Cool cake and cut into bars to serve.
Oh my gosh these things are awesome. They are all crunchy and gooey and crumbly at the same time. I think they were a good start to the weekend. They got rave reviews and were polished off quickly.

Immediate annuities continue to draw attention as a financial planning tool but that's not translating to higher growth for the products. LIMRA's stats showed a decline of 10% in fixed immediate sales from 2008.
According to the Insured Retirement Institute's figures, fixed income annuities accounted for 8.4% of the fourth quarter 2009's fixed annuity market share, averaging about $1.9 billion per quarter for the year. The flat sales certainly can be attributed at least partly to low interest rates; nonetheless, advisors still find that it's a viable solution in the right circumstances.
Cheryl Krueger, FSA and president of Growing Fortunes Financial Partners LLC in Schaumburg, Ill. recently met with a retired couple whose savings had been hit hard by the market crash. The clients received Social Security but no pension and the bulk of their savings had been rolled into an IRA. Based on the clients' income goal, their (now former) advisor had recommended they move 100% of their portfolio into a variable annuity.
After meeting with the clients and analyzing alternatives, Krueger recommended they invest roughly one-third of the portfolio in an immediate fixed annuity, with the balance invested in a diversified mix of equity- and bond funds. They chose a joint-and-survivor annuity with a refund feature.
Krueger admits that current low interest rates were a concern but her analysis indicated the annuity was worthwhile.
"I calculate if you live 20 years, what's your total rate of return that you would get from the annuity and if you live 30 years, what's the total rate of return that you would get, because to me it's really longevity insurance," she says. "Also, many of my clients want to be able to pass on a large estate and for this particular client, that was not their main criteria -- they really wanted to make sure they had enough income."
Jerry Verseput, CFP, and president of Veripax Financial Management LLC in El Dorado Hills, Calif., recently worked with a newly widowed client who needed to create an "extremely low risk" income stream from the life insurance benefits she received.
After considering several investments, Verseput decided to use an annuity for the immediate-income "bucket" with the balance of the funds in slightly riskier investments including bonds and equities.
"I looked at a couple of options (for the annuity portion)," says Verseput. "There was an inflation-adjusted option, there was a 2 percent cost-of-living adjustment option, and there was the straight single life, no guarantee period.
"With the single life with no guarantee period, we could get starting from month one -- which is when we needed to begin the income -- about 33 percent more than the inflation-adjusted option and about 21 percent more than the cost-of-living adjustment," explains Verseput. "We also looked at what if you have a guarantee period because in this case if she passed away a year from now, the rate of return wouldn't look very good.
"But we weren't trying to solve an inheritance problem -- we were trying to solve a cash flow problem," he concludes. "The best way to do that was to allocate a fourth of the portfolio to this annuity and then maximize the cash flow on that, which was single life, no guarantee period."
Many advisors still believe that immediate annuities' drawbacks outweigh there benefits, however. Stan Richelson, JD and representative with Scarsdale Investment Group Ltd. in Blue Bell, Pa., says there are multiple benefits to using individual bonds instead of annuities. "Probably the biggest one for many investors is that if you buy an annuity, you give away your principal and the insurance company becomes your heir," says Richelson.
"While if you buy bonds, you get a stream of income, just like you get from the annuity, but you keep the principal," Richelson shares. "Therefore it's flexible if you need the principal at some point in the future."
Richelson, who has written several books on bond investing, notes that adding features like refund options to annuities comes with a cost. "Every time you get a feature out of an insurance company, you pay a lot of money for it," he says. "So every time you take away from the simple way of 'I give you cash, you give me a stream of income,' you're going to reduce your rate of return. You could have that flexibility if you have your own bond portfolio."

A nationally renowned psychiatry professor will hold a seminar at the University of Nevada, Reno next week, discussing the timely topic of obesity.
The Department of Nutrition's Graduate Program in the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources has invited Dr. Stephen C. Woods to discuss the "Neurobiology of Food Intake and Control of Body Weight" Wednesday, Jan. 27 at 4 p.m. in the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center. Woods is a Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Obesity Research Center at the University of Cincinnati.
"We've invited him to speak on campus because of his expertise in the areas of appetite and weight regulation," said Dr. Jamie Benedict, associate professor in the Nutrition Department. "These are such timely topics due to concerns about obesity and overweight. With a better understanding of underlying mechanisms, perhaps the problems can be better resolved."
Benedict notes that Woods' impressive record of publications and funding – including more than 400 scholarly publications to his credit and extensive funding from the National Institutes for Health – make him an ideal speaker on the topic.
"With his background in psychiatry, he'll bring an interesting perspective to the topic," Benedict said. "Plus he'll provide insight into the most current research on obesity."
The seminar is open to the public and will be immediately followed by a reception for the speaker in the Knowledge Center's Faculty and Graduate Student Reading Room (Room 422).
For more information, please call Jamie Benedict at (775) 784-6445.

A Republican leader says that if Democrats keep Rep. Nancy Pelosi as their party chief in the House, then "it's almost as if they didn't get the message."
Republicans dumped Democrats from their majority in Tuesday's elections - and that means Pelosi won't be speaker in the new Congress next year.
Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor, who's in line to be the No. 2 House Republican, says GOP lawmakers aren't willing to work with President Barack Obama on what Cantor calls an "expansive, liberal agenda" the White House has pushed for two years.
Cantor tells "Fox News Sunday" that the Republican-led House will cut spending and will force fiscal discipline.

'Building fullness'?! Lapels and collars. Help, please!
So, I am making a Burda jacket with a notched collar. I am at the stage where I am about to sew the lapel facing to the jacket front when I stumbled on the instruction:
"pin the facing right sides together with the jacket. Pin the facing along lapel fold line on front. BUILD A LITTLE EXTRA FULLNESS into corners of lapels (facing)." A little later on the instructions say to "Stitch collar pieces together along outer edges, BUILDING A LITTLE EXTRA FULLNESS into the top collar".
At first I took little notice of this instruction. I had assumed it referred to the stage where you would turn the collar/ lapel right sides out, ensuring that corners were properly pushed out and sharp.
Having googled the term (no help from the Burda technique or terms section) I discovered no-one really seems to have a definitive explanation, except that whatever the technique is it helps the top collar and lapel to lie/ roll properly, and that part at least makes sense to me.
A couple of people suggest cutting the under collar/ under lapel slightly smaller, which makes no sense to me – doesn't that just just mean smaller seam allowance? Another suggested that you ease the top onto the bottom, which would imply one pattern piece is bigger than the other and mine are the same size.
Someone else suggested using canvas and pad stitching which seemed a long-winded complicated technique to be so nonchalantly referred to at this stage.
I am wondering whether grading the seam allowances would be of any use towards building fullness.
A few suggested that it really depends on how tightly woven your fabric, whether you need to build fullness. Mine is a very loosely woven wool-polyester blend suiting fabric which frays very easily.
I'm guessing a lot of people here have come across this term, but I suspect no-one will have a definitive answer. Any suggestions/ advice would be fantastic nonetheless!
Thank you!

I don't know if this will help, but here's a blog with that exact description (when you get to the blog page, scroll down a bit; under the first two images) and I think she explains what Burda means by building in extra fullness. http://sewingforme.wordpress.com/2013/06/24/a-tale-of-two-stitches/
Aug 7, 2013, 08.20 PMby bjr99
Yes, this what is meant by building fullness into the lpels and collars. It is a classic tailoring technique. Originally hair cloth was based onto the area to be padded. Then a cover cloth was based on. Once this was done all three layers were joined together using the padding stich. It is a time cnsuming technique but makes for a better fitting jacket. Tailoring traditionaly has a lot of work done by hand. Bespoke mens suits are still done this way.

Ok, pad stitching it is. Thanks both!

Jerusalem Rabbis Call for Mass Protest Over Temple Mount 'Harassment'
Organizers plan to stage the protest at the Old City wall's Golden Gate and are arranging buses to bring in demonstrators from all over the country.
Religious Zionist rabbis have called for a mass demonstration in Jerusalem on Monday night to protest what they say is police harassment and an attempt to keep them away from the Temple Mount.
The organizers want to stage the protest at the Old City wall's Golden Gate and are arranging buses to bring in demonstrators from all over the country.
"Unfortunately, in recent years we have seen a decline in the realization of Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem in general and on the Temple Mount in particular," organizers said in a statement announcing the rally.
Rabbi Haim Druckman, a prominent figure in the religious Zionist movement, issued an open letter to encourage people to attend the rally and "declare their allegiance to Jerusalem and our Temple."
Other religious leaders supporting the protest include Kiryat Arba's chief rabbi, Dov Lior, and leading rabbis at several yeshivas in the West Bank: Re'em Hacohen of Yeshivat Otniel, Ya'acov Medan of Yeshivat Har Etzion, and Rabbi Nachum Rabinovitch of Yeshivat Birkat Moshe.
Supporters of the rally say the police have been trying to keep Jews out of the Temple Mount. They say the police prevented a group from marching through the Old City's Lions Gate to the Western Wall plaza on Jerusalem Day, which took place in May. They also complain about restrictions on the practice of some to walk along the Old City walls and stop at each gate to celebrate Rosh Hodesh, which marks the beginning of each Hebrew month.
The sources said tension is running high between religious Zionist figures and the commander of the Jerusalem District police, Maj. Gen. Aharon Franco, and the officer in charge of the Temple Mount, Commander Avi Roif.
The rally's organizers said they were particularly incensed by two recent incidents in which they said police humiliated rabbis who wanted to go to the Temple Mount. In one incident, some 40 religious Zionist rabbis - including Lior and Daniel Shiloh, the former rabbi of the northern West Bank settlement of Kedumim - informed police in advance that they were planning to visit the site on Jerusalem Day. However, when they reached the entrance, they were told they could visit only in smaller groups of 15, which meant that some of the rabbis had to wait for a long time.
The rabbis said the security check was more extensive than usual, and that police prohibited a photographer from entering with them. MK Uri Ariel (National Union ), who was present, tried unsuccessfully to smooth things out.
"My feeling is that there is a change in the attitude of the police toward the religious Zionist camp," Ariel said yesterday. "I call on the police to go back to the understandings of all these years so as not to incite the public."
In the second incident, the police initially declined to approve a rabbi's visit to the Temple Mount unless he first met with a police officer and signed a pledge to heed police instructions.
Though he refused to sign the form, the police ultimately let him in, but rushed him through the site, the organizers said.

I saw a Dancing with the Pussycat Dolls workout video at the wholesale club the other day, featuring none other than Nicole.
Providing input to your dance partner about song selections and choreography screams RINGER. I so hope it backfires on them. She's TOO good for this early in the competition.
What kills me is that Nicole didn't like their song choice. Has she ever heard some of the song choices for some of these dances? Might make sense though why Derek never gets Jesse's Girl or American Woman for his tangos and pasos. SOS is hardly a bad jive song. The producers gave it to her so he could probably dress her in something skimpy. It was just too much posing. Nicole is so far ahead of the pack, it's boring. That's why I hope eventually her getting 10s while the judges tell everyone else they're losing steam and not doing anything original backfires on them. I'm tired of Derek. I don't know what he has on ABC producers.Originally Posted by nanarama;3865657;
Evan's jive was better, though I guess the golden child had to get the 10s.
