My husband and I will be in Philadelphia for several days in late July and would like to take Amtrak to NYC for an extended stay. We'll have at least 2 medium/large suitcases and one or two carry-ons. Will Amtrak have room for our luggage? I've checked their website and have found several routes that specify baggage check, but not the one between Philadelphia and NYC.
Thanks in advance for any info you have! And if they DO have some sort of luggage check (or at least space next to stash bags), could anyone recommend which seating choices would be best for us?
Thanks in advance!

Luggage on Amtrak from Philadelphia to NYC?
My husband and I will be in Philadelphia for several days in late July and would like to take Amtrak to NYC for an extended stay. We'll have at least 2 medium/large suitcases and one or two carry-ons. Will Amtrak have room for our luggage? I've checked their website and have found several routes that specify baggage check, but not the one between Philadelphia and NYC.
Report Abuse
Wew went the other way two years ago. If I remember correctly we put the luggage overhead.
We definitely didn't check it.
We had reserved seats and didn't pay attention to them until we got on the train.
No problems.
Report Abuse
The luggage is yours to deal with - and that may include stairs, depending n which tracks are used. I would get to the station early and try too find someone to help (perhaps) or at least get the track number in advance. If you wait until the track is announced - only about 8 to 10 minutes before the train arrives/departs you won;t have time to haul all that stuff there and onto the train.
Also, be aware that the train may be quite full and you may not find seats together - or anyplace convenient to put your luggage.
and when you get to Penn station in NYC you wil have to do it in reverse - hopefully elevator to concourse, long walk to escalator, then up that with luggage and wiating on line for a cab to wherever. (There's now way you can manage that much on the subway - which wold require several flights of stairs.)
Frankly - with that much stuff I would rent a car and drive from Philly to NYC - since it will be a problem when you get to NYC too. this may well cost less than the train as well.
Report Abuse
Or you can take the bus from Philly to NYC, and the luggage is stored under the bus. It's only a 2 hour trip and depending on which bus, some come into the Penn Station area, and from there you can get a cab or if you are staying in the city, there are a coule of hotels right there.
Have a great time.
Report Abuse
Re - the luggage. We had a rule which we adopted years ago - lay out everything you need for the trip, and then take half. Nowadays we don't have to do it that way. We start with half. Check how much you really need - great to travel light.
Report Abuse
Both Philadelphia 30th Street and NYC have baggage checking facilities. North Philadelphiastation does not have checked baggage facilities. I can see from the Amtrak website that there seem to be only one train a day from Phil which has a checked baggage car, and this seems to depart just after midnight, so this may not work for you. On the return, there is a 7 am train from NYC which has a checked baggage car which may be a workable option, not sure of your schedule.
Note that if you don't check bags, you are limited to 2 suitcases per person, plus a purse, laptop or briefcase.
One drawback is that Philly is not the starting point for the train, so if it is crowded, you might find luggage space more limited. If you have flexibility to travel mid-week and not during rush hours that would probably help. I also think that if you pay for an Acela train, you will find more luggage room in the cars, and the cars to be less crowded. (I have not taken Acela in some years, so that is just my guess based on pricing.) NYC is the originating point for some trains (but not all), so if you can't check luggage then try to get there maybe 30 minutes before departure so you can board as soon as they let passengers on.
In both Philadelphia and NYC you should be able to find Red Cap guys to help with luggage should you need it. I agree that in NYC esp (I don't know the Phil station very well), you will have to deal with stairs or narrow escalators (or try to find the elevator which may mean a longish walk) so having someone to help is IMO worth the small tip.
Finally you might ship at least some of the luggage ahead of you so you have less to bring on board. There is a company called Luggage Express which delivers luggage from your house to your destination. Take a look at http://www.sportsexpress.com/le/welcome/. I don't know anything about them or whether they are reliable. The cheapest takes 3 days and appears to cost $55 each bag, so not sure if this is in your budget. I believe that Marriott now allows Marriott Rewards Members to use points to ship luggage using the Luggage Club service, see http://www.theluggageclub.com/mrpoints. You can also just pay for the service if you aren't a Marriott Rewards member. Again, I don't know anything about the Luggage Club or if they are reliable. Their pricing seems similar to Luggage Express.

You're not going to be able to check bags between NYC and Philadelphia unless you happen upon one of the long-distance trains that happens to pass through both cities. The regular trains during the day do not have checked baggage.
Frankly, I would think twice (thrice even) about trying to take that much luggage on an Amtrak train, which can be very crowded on that particular route, especially from Philly to NYC. Either ship a few things ahead, pack less, or tack Greyhound (which will also be a fraction of the cost of Amtrak). Sadly, you won't be able to take Megabus or Boltbus with that much luggage, and they are a real bargain.
Report Abuse
I've done that much luggage on NJTransit (which is cheaper from PHL to NYPENN) and it was a nightmare.
The aisle is about an inch wider than large rolling suitcases so unless you get a seat in the very back or front near the door, you'll be dragging it through the train to the annoyance of other passengers. If the train is crowded, a porter will yell at you to put your luggage overhead. Can you lift 50-60 pounds overhead? By the time you exit the train, not only will you be a sweaty mess but everyone else on board will hate you.
Penn Station is so luggage unfriendly that it is a nightmare. After dragging your luggage off the train, you then need to wheel it through massive amounts of people to a very tiny narrow but long escalator.
Once you manage to hoist your belongings on the escalor and wedge yourself in, you can relax. For twenty seconds.
As soon as you get to the top, depending upon where your train came in, you still have to navigate Penn Station and ALL THE PEOPLE with all your luggage.
With some luck, you'll find the exit with the up escalator. If you don't, you will be so beaten by the experience, you'll just surrender and pull your now 1000 pound suitcases up all those steps to street level and beg for a cab.
If you have to change trains anywhere, repeat first two paragraphs.

Egad, I think I need another option! Our plan was simply this: fly to Philadelphia, stay for 3 or 4 days, take Amtrak to NYC, stay 3 or 4 days, then fly back home. It sounded so easy!
Is there an alternate means of transportation between Philadelphia and NYC that would work for us? Flying seems like an awful lot of trouble (especially for me - I'm the world's worst white-knuckle passenger).
Report Abuse
Susan, what about a car service?
Report Abuse
Maybe I misunderstand but I don't get many of the responses here. I've (one person) gone on Amtrak with one medium/large suitcase and one or two carry-ons many a time; they're two people with two medium/large suitcases, so that's the same thing, no? You just put your luggage overhead; if you can't lift it, someone inevitably will help you. Sometimes there's even an area near the front seats where you can put your luggage.
If you meant two medium/large suitcases EACH (which is not what I understood), on an off-hour (non-rush hour or non-pre-holiday rush) train such as early afternoon weekdays, early Sunday or most Saturdays, often the trains have NOT been full in my experience, so it wouldn't be an issue then, as you could find a second nearby overhead compartment to put your luggage. Even in rush hour, many businessmen/day travellers don't have much in the way of luggage, so even THEN, I think you'll find space, although you might have to look around a bit more. I've never checked luggage.
My ultimate thought is that you'll manage.
Report Abuse
May I ask why you feel you need three or four pieces of luggage for a one-week trip?
Report Abuse
When I read "for an extended stay" I assumed 2 medium/large EACH. I believe that I misread and misunderstood.
It's not really a problem to take Amtrak with 1 bag a 1 carry-on each. But the combo of SEPTA and NJ Transit is much cheaper and still do-able if you avoid rush-hour. I agree that flying is a huge waste of time and money.
I'd still recommend no more than a relatively small bag for 1 week, as in about 22 inches. No problem with that and a small carry-on. Why would you want more?
Report Abuse
It's possible I'm losing my memory...but aren't there racks at the end of the cars for luggage on the Amtrak trains? I'm pretty sure there are, kinda near the doors.
I've done northeast corridor service on Amtrak going into Boston, New York, Philly, Baltimore and DC, with luggage, and its not that big of a deal. That said, I try to stick with nothing bigger than my 21" roller, and a laptop or camera bag. It IS a zoo rolling it through Penn station, but its not so bad as people make it sound. I think you could do it with a 24 inch bag, as long as its not so heavy that you can't heft it from time to time.
And as Daniel mentions above, if you avoid the rush hour and holiday trains, they are often not full, and also a little cheaper.
I love taking the train on the northeast route. It's way more relaxing than driving or flying. Susan, stick to your plan, just try to pack as light as you can.
Report Abuse
GoTravel - that may be a perfect, and much easier option for us. Do you have a car service recommendation or any idea how much it might cost?
Daniel - You're correct, we'll each have one suitcase and neither will be the giant sized ones. I'll have a carry-on, too, and not sure whether my husband will have his PC.
bspielman - Sorry, I didn't do a very good job of making myself clear. We'll have a total of 2 suitcases plus whatever carry-ons we have. I normally pack very light, but this is a combination business/pleasure trip so we'll need to lug both casual and dressier clothes.
Report Abuse
I use Dial 7 with regularity but I'm not sure if they have Philly service.
I'm sorry but one suitcase and one carryon was a nightmare for me. I will not even do the Airtrain from Newark to Penn Station.

Why not take the bus instead? Both MegaBus and Boltbus runs Philadelphia/NYC route. They're fairly cheap and decent. The best thing about these buses, is that they drop you off on the street corner in NYC. I believe it's 34th/8ave for Bolt; and 28th/8Ave for Megabus. Both options avoid the problem with walking inside Penn Station.
Also, as others have mentioned, the driver/employee is the person who loads and unloads your suitcase for you. The suitcases are stored in the underbelly of the bus. Therefore, unlike the trains/Amtrak, you DO NOT need to lift anything ONTO the bus, no lifting of suitcase to overhead racks, and it's safe too.
Report Abuse
30th Street Station is really not bad for luggage-rolling (nowhere near the zoo Penn Station is), and there is only a single, not terribly steep, flight down to the tracks. And there are Red Caps if you need 'em, which you probably don't. Nor is that crazy luggage to take on an Amtrak train. My last trip I had my purse, a small tote, a large rolling suitcase, and a winter coat I was carrying (since I was travelling from central Florida to Philadelphia in February), and I had no issues bringing it onto the train, and getting it disposed of under and top of myself. My seat-mate, who was on her way home on leave before being stationed in Korea, had easily twice as much, and had no trouble getting her luggage on, either.
I would not take the luggage on the Septa/NJ Transit combo, however, as those are commuter trains, and it will be inconvenient, to put it mildly. Bolt and Megabus would also not be my choice with all of that (they are a great bargain, but they're not terribly convenient either, especially on the New York end). Greyhound is fine, if a little gritty (although that's one of their least gritty runs).
Report Abuse
A car service from Philly to NYC doesn;t make sense - it woud probably be in the area of $250. A car rental would be much cheaper.
If you take an off-hours train you should be able to find aplace for your luggage overhead (but you do have to lift it). Penn Station is a zoo at any time except the middle of the night. If you can get your luggage easily onto and off of escalators you should be able to manage it.
Report Abuse
I'm getting a train from Philly to Boston (heaps cheaper than flying and don't need to change trains) but booked in business class. Given what I've read above about there not being seats sometimes, I assume all will be fine as the business class seats say they are "reserved seating". Has anybody tried Amtrak business class and did they think it was worth the extra $?
Report Abuse
We took Amtrak from Baltimore to New York two years ago. We had one reasonably size suitcase each and carryon and put out luggage in the racks at the back of the carriage. We sat fairly close by to keep an eye on it. We were only the second stop in though so the racks may be full by the time the train stops at Philadelphia. We didn't have any problems at Penn Station, just wheeled our luggage through the station and took a cab to our hotel.
Report Abuse
I've taken both on the Boston NYC lines, and prefer a seat in the quiet car on an Acela train to Business class on the regular train. Acela trains are a bit faster and and sometimes cheaper (than business) too. The business cars are noisy with everyone yakking on their phones.
Report Abuse
I fully agree with Travelbuff and YK. Consider going by bus - I prefer Bolt bus -for the reasons stated. It is nearly as quick, much less expensive ($10), the driver loads your luggage, you have a reserved seat (you must make advance reservations and pay by credit card online) it is clean and comfortable.
Report Abuse
The drivers didn't load the luggage when I've taken the Blot bus. In fact, at the end of one trip my suitcase had slid to the far back reaches of the undercarriage compartment and I had to crawl into it to get the suitcase.
Report Abuse
Must have been a bad day. They usually take care of it.
Report Abuse
Bolt would have liability issues if they let passangers reach or crawl in to get their luggage out themselves. I've never had an issue with Bolt (Mega on the other hand . . . a complete fiasco.)
In any event, I like Bolt for the price, but I also love Amtrak (when someone else is paying). I've carried a lot of stuff back in forth on Amtrak over the years (an expanded 22" rollaboard, briefcase, 2 shopping bags and a case of wine on a recent DC-Phila trip) with no problem. Also, it has only been on rare occasions (around holidays) that I have had to stand for part of the trip, and that was only because I was a courteous college student who always offered my seat to a "grownup."
Report Abuse
Given what I've read above about there not being seats sometimes
That only happens because people want seats together or someone is hogging two seats. There are no unreserved trains on the Northeast Corridor, so every rider should have a seat.
Report Abuse
I've taken the Amtrak trains that ultimately go to NYC. We get on in Harrisburg which is the beginning of the route. For two people we have each taken a medium/large suitcase and we share a carry on.
They had luggage racks in some cars that are very convenient for people who can't lift their suitcases above the seats. You might have to walk through the train to find open space in one of these luggage racks and if you can't find one, you may have to put your suitcases above the seats. I can always find a helpful strong guy that is willing to assist in lifting the suitcases.
There are elevators in the station that you can take if you can't maneuver the escalators. This is a very convenient option for me when I take my 70 plus year old mother to NYC. We always enjoy our travels on Amtrak. I find it to be a relaxing way to travel.

As a Jersey girl in college in Maryland facing a HUGE blizzard at the beginning of winter break this year, I gave up my dream of a $20 bus and took the Amtrak from New Carollton, MD to Newark so that I wouldn't have to spend hours and hours and hours in transit.
Because I was traveling to visit my parents and then fly to Israel for two weeks, I had a fair amount of luggage, and none of it rolled. I had more than enough space right by the doors to dump the duffles.
Philadelphia is the station where half the train gets off. There is SO much luggage room from Phil. going North that you won't have any trouble at ALL finding space for the bags.
Finding two seats together may actually be a bit tougher, but should be manageable. I think.
I've also taken the Amtrak to and from Philadelphia 30th Street Station. The southbound train track was down one flight of stairs from the main entrance,but I don't remember where the Northbound one was. The tracks are also different on different days.
The stairs going down are a bit narrow, but Philadelphians are, for the most part, fairly kind and they will try to help you with your luggage.
As far as Penn Station goes.... It's going to be really irritating, but manageable. And it's the City. They know tourists over there.
You didn't mention how you were planning on getting TO the hotel from Penn Station, though. Getting on a subway with more than one duffel bag can be a total disaster. (Ok. At least, It was for me, and all I had was a large duffle and a heavy shopping bag. Different trip, BTW)
As a college student, I've done the $10 or $20 bus thing. If Amtrak isn't too pricey, I'd definietly do that. You may have the tiniest bit of inconvenience with stairs, but if your bags roll, that will be minimized, I should think.
Report Abuse
People who are asking about using porters in train stations aren't going to be taking the subway. They will catch a cab once they arrive in NYC. The difficulty is getting luggage up onto the street in a chaotic station.
If you pack light, then I don't see it being a huge problem, but you may have to walk up stairs with the luggage.
Report Abuse
Thank you all so much for your suggestions! Our final decision - only made today - is to take a car service to NYC. I know it sounds extravagant (not to mention lazy), but my husband and I are in our mid and late 60s, he had two major surgeries last year, and we're not the spring chickens we used to be - well, perhaps we are in our minds.
If we were in NYC often, we wouldn't make the splurge, but this will be the first time we've been there since a couple of weeks before 9/11, and we may not be back for several years.
It just seems SO much easier this way. To those of you who went out of your ways to explain the options to me, thank you so much!

Susan, My husband and I will be traveling from Philadelphia to NYC with luggage in October. I was checking on Amtrak and then happened to find your comments here. If you dont mind could you let me know what car service you ended up using for your July trip. Thanks
Report Abuse
I made a 30 day trip on Amtrak with ONE carry on bag of about 44 lb. If you can't lift your bag over your head and put it in overhead storage, you are traveling with too much stuff.
You are allowed 2 bags up to 50 Lb. Between cities on the NE corridor checking bags is usually not an option.
My first Amtrak trip was from Washington to New York in 2001.
I have checked bags twice, both times in California.
You will pay lots more to use a car service. Tip your porter well.
Report Abuse
A car service will be very expensive - probably at lst twice as much as renting a car.
If you want to find a realiable service look at the airport website. They may even list a group shuttel that will go to NYC.

I've traveled from Philly to NYC twice this year. If you can specify a day and hour, up to three days ahead of time, you can travel between these two cities by Greyhound for $7.
That's right -- $7.
There are about ten departure times each day, all at this price.
No stops -- direct service between the two cities (about two hours)
Free wireless on the bus.
Free use of a 120V outlet.
Booking four days in advance means you'll be first on the bus, so you get pretty much any seat you want.
While waiting at the Philly bus terminal, you get a special section that only "Express" passengers are allowed to sit in.
And the Greyhound terminal in Philly is as pleasant and clean a bus terminal as any I've been to -- and I've been to a LOT of them.
As much luggage as you can carry will be put under the bus, and they'll unload when you get out. Note that you will have to sit with your luggage until the bus is ready to board, at which point you'll have to carry it yourself to the bus.
Note also that the place you arrive at -- the lowest level of the NYC Port Authority Bus Terminal, is NOT one of the most pleasant bus terminals to be in. At this point you're on your own as far getting the luggage out of the terminal.
But for $7 (about one-tenth the cost of Amtrak), I don't see how you can complain.
Report Abuse
This thread is the gift that keeps on giving...our trip was two years ago! We were really happy with our choice of using a car service...no heavy luggage to deal with, and door-to-door delivery. I don't remember how much it cost (or the name of the service), but we felt that it was worth it. We booked the car service through the concierge at our hotel - the Sofitel, which was lovely, by the way.

When I first met Texas Tech rodeo coach Chris Guay, he busted a very tough bronc at the 1986 College National Finals Rodeo in Bozeman, Mont.
At the time, he was competing for Tarleton State, and since then, I've followed Guay's career as a competitor and as a college rodeo coach.
Today, he's an 11-year coach at Texas Tech, and last weekend, Guay watched his women's team clinch the 2007-2008 title in the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association Southwest Region after competing in Tarleton's traditional rodeo in Stephenville.
Winning the Southwest Region is one big accomplishment because it's billed as a super region.
Only the top two teams and the top three competitors in each single event from the region will advance to the June College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyo. Western Texas College also made the cut by convincingly winning the men's team title.
Before Guay, 45, became a rodeo coach, he was one salty competitor in both the collegiate association and the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. But he had the presence of mind to get an education, knowing that there are no guarantees of making a great living in rodeo.
"By nature, cowboys are macho and tough, but you also have to realize that you must use your God given talent to set yourself up after rodeo," Guay said. "You have to realize that you can't be 18 and bullet proof forever. There was many times that I would sit in a chemistry class and I'd be punching my calculator and reasoning that if I won $500 at Mesquite consistently that I could make a living in rodeo."
Guay said one clear sign that he must continue to bust the college textbooks was in 1988 when he was sidelined for three months after breaking his right elbow at the Houston Livestock Show Rodeo.
"I started thinking that I had better get an education so that I could coach and teach," said Guay, who received a masters degree in Agricultural Eduation from Tarleton in 1989.
In 1997, Guay became Texas Tech coach after heading up the rodeo program at Wharton Junior College for four years. Over the years, he has recruited competitors such as Lindsay Sears, Ryan Gray and Wes Stevenson who earned a Texas Tech degree and went on to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo.
"Texas Tech is such a wonderful institution with a great alumni base that supports us,' said Guay, who also teaches equine science at the university along with his wife, Kim.
Texas Tech's women's team is comprised of Heather Turner, Romany Gordon, Tiana Thornton and Kelsy Friskup. Jake Brown of Texas Tech and Jaytin McCright of Clarendon College also will advance to the Casper championships; they won the regional team roping heading and heeling titles after roping together throughout the season.
After riding (he won a PRCA Texas Circuit title in 1991) and working on college campuses, Guay can offer his athletes some great advice.
"I know what they are up against in terms of their time and finances," Guay said. "I tell them not to sell themselves short, that their degree is their insurance policy."

Quick Gift Bags For Little Things
Lazies, I'm still making last minute gift bags using the free With Love Tote pattern that I posted last week.
New to our blog? Subscribe here.
Smaller size of the With Love Tote bag.
Fabric is 'City Girl' by Benartex.
Small Gift Bags
The With Love Tote bag is perfect for gifting anything the size of a shoe box or so. But what about smaller items?
I'm making smaller versions of the same design which turn out to be perfect for little gifting. Or, should I say, things that come in smaller packages.
These little cuties finish to 10 inches wide by 11 inches deep. I used 15 inch cuts of grosgrain ribbon for the handles.
This smaller size bag is wonderful for a one pound box of chocolate. And they take about 15 to 20 minutes to make. Now that's Lazy.
Make Two Small Bags
You can get two small gift bags out of two thirds of a yard of fabric. I started with a 24 inch cut, or two thirds of a yard of fabric, approximately 42 inches wide. I cut the selvages off and cut the fabric right down the middle, or on the fold. That produced two pieces at approximately 21 inches wide by 24 inches long, enough to make two small bags.
Fold each piece in half, right sides together, measuring 10 1/2 inches by 24 inches. Then follow the directions for the With Love Tote to finish the bag from there.
Add A Bit Of Detail
The handles have a little belt loop at the bottom due to the way they are attached to the bag. Here, I've tied a decorative ribbon through one hoop. This is also a nice place to hang a gift tag. You could also feed a ribbon through all four hoops for a simple drawstring closure.
Tie a ribbon around one handle for a decorative bow.
Product Recommendation
One of my favorite finds in the last few years is Res-Q Tape. Oh honey, keep a roll of this handy.
Res-Q Tape from Collins.
Res-Q Tape, from Collins, is a double sided tape that sticks nicely to fabric. A five yard roll sells for between three and four dollars. Check with your local quilt shop for availability.
When adding handles for these totes, I held the ends in place, under the cuff, with a short piece of Res-Q Tape. I simply placed the handle end where needed, then put a two inch piece of tape across the end of the ribbon just like a band-aid. The Res-Q Tape is completely hidden under the cuff and holds the layers together for sewing.
For this small size, I skipped the step about stitching through the handles below the cuff as shown in last week's post. I stitched through all layers around the top edge of the bag, catching the ends of the handle under the cuff in that stitching.
Edit: Darlene wrote in to say that Res-Q Tape will gum up your needle. Consider trying 'Wonder Tape', also by Collins, instead. Thanks Darlene!

These are great – and it is also a great size for a magazine or book of crossword puzzles or something like that.
You really like that bordered ribbon, don't you?! I keep seeing it crop up in your samples. I really need to find myself some of that!
Thanks for more great ideas! My machine is going to be humming right up through – and beyond- Christmas!!!
joan … this is a great small bag and i love the colors and the extra ribbon on the handle … however i just wanted to point out that *res-q tape* is a good thing, but you can't stitch through it without it sticking to the needle … collins (the same company) makes *wonder tape* for the same price (and mostly the same purposes) BUT you can stitch through it and it does not stick to your needle …
just a thought ….
What a great idea, I think I will make one for the doll and her couch because I am having a difficult time finding a box to fit the couch in but this is a great idea, 20 minutes and I will be done! Thank you,
Penny D in Chesapeake
Can't wait to make some of these! I loved making the "With Love totes" and my recipients loved them too. Thanks Joan, for sharing these gems with all us lazy girls! Merry Christmas!
gracias por tanto que me regalan para tener ideas y ayudarme a mi economia, y ha poder dar algo bonito hecho por mi.

Great idea as usual Joan! All of us use gift bags of all sizes for our gift giving. It is extra special to get a gift in a home made gift!
Thank you SO much for generously offering the with love tote pattern. I can't believe how easy they are and ingenious!
Just wanted to share an idea. My daughter (2nd grade) hauls her boots to and from school and I needed a bag for her. People suggested a towel bag, but she was not fond of that idea.
I purchased a vinyl tablecloth (clearance) and used your pattern to make a boot bag. I made it larger and did box the bottom of the bag, but it worked great.
I love that with a few stitches the outside and lining of the bag are done!
Thanks again. I just purchased the runabout and wallet patterns – can't wait to try for my sister and I who are taking a trip together and need something to hold our passports.
I think these bags are just the cutest things ever!!!
Hi there from Australia
I have used this fabulous little bag pattern as a tool while teaching a friend to sew. It was so simple and we both enjoyed the experience. Lyn has made several more since and is very proud of her efforts. As she is a ceramics teacher and makes cards, this was a complete change from her usal pursuits.
I also made a very miniature bag to hold a gift of jewellery to send to Nepal our the little girl, Ruma, who my family sponsors. It looked very cute, only about 4″ square with ribbon handles, and I threaded an extra ribbon through the slots to use as a drawstring.
Thanks for such a great pattern
Thanks so much for the cute bag pattern-I made on last night for a little gift to my granddaughter-I love those easy patterns. I plan to make on tonight for a baby shower-any other patterns out there that are super quick and CUTE!!! Thanks-Linda/Texas
how do you box the bottom to make it wider as indicated by Jilll?
i thought this was a great design..i just wish i could find a nice bag idea for going to the beach. I need a bag that looks more like a purse than a tote and is big enough to hold things for the beach.
I make similar for making totes for bottles of wine, etc. for the holidays. I make 3 out of a yard of material. The ending sizes are approx 6 1/2″ X 14″. I cut the strips 14″ X 30″ then fold them in half, 7″ X 30″ then follow the basic tote patern instructions or follow Joan's instructions for the "With Love Tote." The only difference when I make them for holding a bottle of wine is that I I use the polypro 1″ strapping, 18 inches long when making them and I don't turn under the cuffs. I run a row of stitches around the top of the bag and go over the handles several times to strongly secure them in place. Seeing that I only use strips of 14 X 30 inches for each one which is less than a yard of fabric, there's actually enough fabric to make matching handles from a yard of fabric, using two inch strips for each one, by the 18 inch (half a yard) lengths.
The wine totes are not just for bottles of wine: For youths and those under 18 years of age, possibly plastic bottles of their favorite soda or juice, etc., can be placed in one of them. For senior citizens, that might be either orange or apple juice, too. Most likely bottles of beer for the sports fans during the Super Bowl games home parties along with individual size packages of snacks, etc. Maybe even used in place of stockings for hanging up during the Christmas holidays, too, possibly filled with apples, oranges, pears, etc.
I LOVE this mini-tote! I made the larger one and then with some creative fabric cutting was able to get another 7 of the mini size out of about 2 yards of fabric. I did change it up a bit and use contrasting fabric for the lining, so that made an extra seam, but still very easy and quick to do.
These will be project bag gifts to my knitting buds.
I just thought wouldn't a even smaller version hung from one the "belt loops" be really handy for keys or spare coins!
An Indian friend asked me to sew bags for Thank You Gifts for a funeral. These bags are great to make a lot in different sizes and color contrasts. Thank You for making my job easier. I'll always use these patterns for gifts.
What a wonderful project. Thank you for sharing the pattern. I made 2 library totes as gifts and discovered something in the process. If you use a whole yard of material (like in the larger sized one), you'll end up with a wider bag than you need. Not a problem. Just tuck/fold the ends inward about 2 inches and top stitch the outside edges on both sides of the bag. You've made 2 nice inside pencil/pen pouches and the bag is more proportional. Finished size approximately 13″ wide by 10″ high.
Also, if you want to make one larger inside pocket, then tuck in only one side the amount of inches you desire (e.g., large enough to hold scissors). Although not technically necessary, I would top stitch both sides to give it a finished look. Voila! You have a sewing tote, perhaps, for accessories, etc.

Chairwoman Dianne FeinsteinDianne Emiel FeinsteinFive things to know about the elephant trophies controversy The feds need to be held accountable for role in Russia scandal Lawyer: Kushner is 'the hero' in campaign emails regarding Russia MORE (D-Calif.) announced earlier Thursday that the committee would hold a hearing on the attack that killed four Americans, including U.S ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, on Nov. 15.
"By the time it takes place, two full months will have passed since the September 11th terrorist attack on our consulate in Libya," Rubio said. "That's way too long for the Senate to ask the important questions that have been building up."
Republicans have criticized the Obama administration for sending mixed signals about the attack and not doing enough to protect the consulate that was attacked in Benghazi.
"For over six weeks, the American people have been troubled by mixed information and claims from the Obama administration on this attack, and it's important that we get to the bottom of how this attack was possible and what caused all these mixed messages," Rubio said. "Our diplomatic corps deserve to know that their safety is paramount and that their colleagues in Benghazi won't be forgotten."

Coach Pete Carroll has a name for this day: Tell the Truth Monday.
And sure enough, Carroll told the truth when it came to his assessment of the team's final possession of the first half, which ended with Seattle running a fire drill instead of attempting a field goal.
"(We) didn't handle the end of the half effectively, and I was disappointed," Carroll said. "I really didn't do that well. Honestly, I realized that after all those years at USC with our offenses being so dynamic and all, I got a little bold about our situation. We need to take care of business better. I need to do a better job, and make sure that we get our points when we get our opportunities. They're not always going to come back around again like it used to seem like it happened."
As for injuries, Seattle does have some healing to do.
• LB Aaron Curry left the game with a hamstring injury. "We don't think it's real serious," Carroll said, "but it's something that bothered him enough where he couldn't play."
• WR Mike Williams suffered a shoulder injury in the first half, and while he finished the game, his status will be a question. "He's real sore today," Carroll said. "We'll see how that turns out."
• CB Marcus Trufant suffered an injury to his left ankle after Buster Davis fell on him in the third quarter. Carroll wasn't willing to dive into the question of what Seattle would lose if Trufant can't return this week.
"Let's wait and see," Carroll said. "We haven't lost anything yet. Let's talk about that a little later if we could."
Walter Thurmond replaced Trufant, with Roy Lewis remaining as Seattle's nickel back. Would the Seahawks stick to that plan if Trufant were out?
"That was the way we were set up to do it this week," Carroll said. "I don't know anything about what we need to do in this game plan yet. We'll wait and see. It would also give us a chance with Nate Ness, too, to elevate him. He's a guy we've been looking at for a couple weeks here, and he's a nice looking athlete and has worked hard. He may be able to help us, too. Roy has done really well inside of the nickel spot, and more likely than not, we wouldn't flip those things around, we'd keep them the same."
• Defensive tackle Brandon Mebane suffered a calf injury, and he hasn't been ruled out, but his availability will be a question.
• The Seahawks will have Russell Okung and Chester Pitts practicing together for the first time all season, and while Carroll wouldn't commit to either starting this week, it is a step forward.
"It's going to be exciting," Carroll said. "For the first time we're going to see Russell Okung and Chester Pitts out there together, playing and practicing for the first time. Those guys are coming back from an injury situation, but that's an exciting thing for us on the offensive side."
Okung will be playing left tackle, Pitts left guard.
• DE E.J. Wilson, who has been inactive the first three games, will be slowed by an injury this week, Carroll indicated.

Please be sure that I do pay attention to all your wonderful words. I often start conversations in my head only to start talking to someone else and assume they know what I'm talking about. So I oft giggle, ponder and answer your questions and then forget to actually respond. (I thought telepathy worked!) Does anyone else do this?

PCT Question
I just wanted to get your opinions on my PCT protocol. Here are my options on what PCT protocol to use:
Option A)
week 1-2 Clomid 150mg ED
week 3-4 Nolva 60mg ED
Option B)
Day 1-30: .25mgED Arimadex, 100mgED Clomid, 20mgED Nolva
I will already have been running .25-50mg of Arimadex and 10-20mg Nolva throughout my 10week AAS cycle. This would just extend into what I have already been using, with the exception of Clomid, of course.
Option C)
300/100/50 method using only Clomid
I'm leaning toward Option B right now, but I want your guy's opinions or suggestion's on this. Thank's!!
of those 3 i would choose B hands down over the other 2
I am with Sdf on this one.
I would have to go with either B or C, but if I chose B I would drop the Arimidex. Go ahead SDF tell me I am wrong again. :D
Thanks Fellas!
It seems there is a synergistec effect with the 3 components. So this is a good PCT.
Joe A
I've always used clomid and nolva and recovered fine.
I had a hard time with my dick after doing a Nolva/Clomid Pct after taking methyl dien. I was fine doing a 6oxo pct after M1T, that's without 4 AD. So I guess it depends on the person. Why not take out adex on B and add rebound XT. Same price???
TMI! :eek:
What is TMI???

7 Things We Hate about Facebook
Usually, we love you. Usually we love you on Facebook. But. . .sometimes . . .we just don't need to know. The Pew Research Center did a poll and asked people about Facebook and their FB Family. While over 57% use Facebook — there were seven things that most say they hate about how some of their friends and family use Facebook.
The Seven Things People Hate About Facebook
- People sharing too much personal information!
- If you've ever heard a friend is getting divorced or a boil is finally healing via social media — you know exactly what this means!
- Others who post information about you or pictures of you without first asking permission.
- I don't mind when they post pictures of us as kids — but if it's me — and it's recent — and you took the picture without me knowing — you better tell me first.
- Other people seeing posts or comments you didn't mean for them to see.
- 27% of people polled listed this as a problem with Facebook. Dude — this is just a problem with you not knowing how to use Facebook.
- Temptation or pressure to share too much info.
- Wow — are these people mind controlled by social media? How much pressure can social media exert over your life? If it is this much, pick up a book and put down your phone!
- Pressure to post content that will be popular and get lots of comments
- Ok — I get this. We are mandated to post in our job — so I can feel that pressure. BTW — I'll be posting a link to this article soon! Facebook.com/lizryandj!
- Pressure to comment on content posted by others
- Seeing posts about social activities in which you were not invited or included
If you read that list and feel anything other than 'man, who cares this much about Facebook?!' maybe you need to adjust how you interact with social media. The second it stops being fun — and starts being stressful — go watch The Mindy Project or bake a cake. If social media is making you feel anti-social — you might need to take a little break!

Deus Ex: Human Revolution: Director's Cut - Review Roundup
View Single Post
October 21st, 2013, 10:43
I never replayed it - because I didn't want to play Missing Link as a separate game. Lucky for me, since this edition integrates it back into the full game.
I'm really looking forward to replay this modern masterpiece. I must be the only one around here who thinks it's actually better than the original Deus Ex - except if you take into account time of release, where you have to acknowledge the innovation of the first game.
The fact that they've announced Deus Ex Universe - and they fully intend to keep making games like this, is one of the few things that can make me very excited about the AAA scene again.
Now I just need to hear the words three, shock, and system spoken together - and I'll be one happy gamer!

Type: Throwing. Non begginers
In continuing it's policy of inviting internationally recognized artists, La Meridiana this year organises a workshop of excellence for dedicated amateurs and professional potters called "Master Class". For this purpose we have and will choose artists that beyond their technique and aesthetic vision, can be particularly inspiring in giving rich and strong stimulus to all those practicing ceramics and above all to professional potters. Gail Nichols, author of "Soda, Clay and Fire (American Ceramic Society, 2006)" will be the first artist to open this cycle with a course on the study and experimentation of soda firing. There will be a public presentation with slides and a discussion on techniques and aesthetics of soda firing. In parallel we'll be offering a noborigama wood firing with work brought by the participants to the course. Please come with a willingness to experiment and to share information. Experience in throwing is recommended for the workshop, but is not essential.

For starters, it's important to note that no matter what size hard drive you have in your console, about 100 GB (no joke) will be partitioned off. In other words, that stock 500GB drive only actually amounts to around 400GB and, with games like my spiffy new copy of Killzone said to take up about 50GB, I planned ahead and had a TB drive waiting when I got home. Honestly, I don't expect it to last me much more than a year. These games are just too massive for a "digital age" to ever exist. Bring on the streaming!
All you need for this little operations is a small phillips head screwdriver and a thumb drive containing the latest firmware update. The glossy part of the top panel slides off easily. There's a single screw holding the HDD casing in place and another four screws holding the drive into the casing. I swapped out the 500GB with my TB and had the thing ready to go in less than three minutes. Seriously, it's an exceedingly simple process.
Once that was done, I plugged in the machine, waited for it to install the OS and sprinted through the typical first-time setup jibba-jabba (connect to the internet, sign in to profile, set the clock, etc).
The OS is clean, featuring two main bars of icons. The lower bar offers up stuff like fast boxes for your most recently played games, access to video services and the streaming options. The top bar is where you'll find your friends list, system option, notices about what's downloading and ready to be installed, Party chat and more.
My first stop was the PlayStation Store, which runs far smoother than on the PS3. Maybe that has to do with how little content there is but, if you're familiar with the PS3 setup, you'll feel right at home here. I entered a couple of promo codes and got my downloads of Warframe and Blacklight, both free to play, Contrast and Resogun, both free with PlayStation Plus set to download. It should be noted that, while the games were still downloading, I received notices within minutes that each of the titles were ready to be installed and played within minutes, just as advertised.
But it was getting close to 3 a.m. and, sadly, I'm not as young as I once was. I took a few more minutes to check out the streaming feature, which worked perfectly. People were playing their games, some were chatting, others had PiP videos of themselves, and users were commenting in text and via chat. The video quality was nice and a couple of videos may have even sold me on the new Need for Speed. I've never had an interest in "let's play" videos in the past but, having it right there in the bottom menu, easy to get to and working so well, I wouldn't be surprised if I became a frequent visitor.
I put the PS4 into sleep mode with voice commands, which worked flawlessly, and left the console to finish its downloads while I slept. This morning, I powered up again and logged in with facial recognition which, again, worked flawlessly. It's a neat trick, but I'm not sure how useful it really is. Then again, maybe I'm just an old-fashioned guy who likes to push buttons instead of stare into or shout at my TV to get things done.
All of my games are sitting there, ready to go. It's time to play.
For any specific questions, feel free to post them into the comments below and I'll get back to you. Otherwise, did anyone else pick up the PlayStation 4? Feel free to share your "first night" experiences, too.

Opening + Book Release: "Won't Back Down" Group Show + 'The Freak Table' @ Downtown Art Walk this Thursday March 14th
Here are three pieces that I am showing as three limited edition prints respectively at the "Won't Back Down" group art show during Art Walk this coming Thursday evening. The exhibition was curated by Gavin Hignight in celebration of the release of his novel, "The Freak Table". The concept of the group show is to celebrate the gladly misspent youth of the seventies', eighties' and early nineties' counterculture… i.e. prior to Hot Topic and the Internet as we now know it.
The prints will be available at the show and then any remainders will be released in my Etsy shop afterwards for those of you who can't make it. Obviously these are not my original designs, more or less they're simply record album cover mashups and are meant as a humble homage to the tremendously talented original designers and musicians who had such a large impact on my life. I'm pricing these cheap simply to recoup my costs and I will not be making others. Please feel free to say hello, I will be there throughout the night. – David Alexander Willis
ORIGINAL DESIGN: MiR aka David Lee Parsons aka Dave Ratcage – Bad Brains, "Attitude: The ROIR Sessions" + Peter Saville – Joy Division, "Unknown Pleasures"

A small gathering of friends at a Fallbrook home Monday night turned violent when one guest stabbed two others, slashing one across his neck, a sheriff's official said.
Guy Roman, 20, a former Fallbrook High School football player, ran away but later had friends bring him to the local sheriff's station to surrender, Detective Steve Ashkar said.
Ashkar said about 10 people were at a woman's house party on North Stage Coach Lane for about half an hour when the brief fight and stabbing occurred. She called 911 about 7:50 p.m.
There was no clear reason for the attack on the two 23-year-old Fallbrook men, Ashkar said.
"There is no back story, no vengeance," Ashkar said. "It was a result of immature behavior."
One of the victims suffered a partially severed carotid artery and was airlifted to a hospital, where he was later listed in stable condition, Ashkar said. The other victim was treated at a hospital then released.
Ashkar said Roman ran from the house after the stabbing, but turned himself in about three hours later. He was jailed on charges of attempted murder.
A website for local athletes said Roman played varsity and junior varsity football at Fallbrook High and graduated in 2011.

Spain set to reign again
The Spanish property basket case is puzzling the experts. How come prices are so low, yet Marbella, for example, reported tourism at a five-year high last year?
According to the latest figures released by the Institute of National Statistics, Marbella's tourism industry is well on the road to recovery. Other tourism figures are also reportedly up across Spain. Even Michelle Obama and daughter Sasha took a five-day break in Marbella last year, staying at the luxurious Villa Padierna Hotel.
With the Andalucían region coming out on top (compared to other regions in Spain), it looks like things are finally looking up for tourism.
There have been faint signs of improvement in the property market too. The key selling period of last August was the best month in housing sales since May 2008, according to the Association of Registrars of property, movable property and commercial.
Property developer Taylor Wimpey de España agrees. It began building again in October last year. Victor Sague, sales director of Taylor Wimpey España says: "It had become very apparent from our diminishing stock levels that we needed to start building to keep up with client demands."
Taylor Wimpey is selling Los Robles de Los Arqueros II, Benhavis, Costa del Sol. At the Los Arqueros golf course, this residential complex offers two- and three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments with sea and golf views. Amenities include swimming pools for children and adults, as well as community gardens and underground parking and storage. Prices start from 232,000 euros (about £209,000).
La Floresta at Elvira has two large communal swimming pools, landscaped gardens and private parking. There are two- and three-bedroom apartments. with private gardens for those on the ground floor. Prices start at 178,000 euros (£160,000).
Not everyone wants to be next to the coast however. Half an hour into the hills from the Costa del Sol is a pretty farmhouse with two newly-built holiday lets. Finca La Borrega sits among the orange groves near the village of San Pablo de Buceite, near Jimena de la Frontera. The main house has three self-sufficient units that could be united, totalling six double bedrooms. Who needs the Med when you have a 30ft covered terrace and similar-sized swimming pool?
Each of the two separate villas, Los Borreguitos and Finca Zarita, has two double bedrooms with en-suites, a large living/dining room with kitchen area, a utility room, a large covered terrace, its own swimming pool, barbecue and enclosed garden. They are both maintained to a high standard and produce a substantial income as holiday rentals, with 70 per cent of bookings returning customers.
This is a region that can experience six months of summer drought, but Finca La Borrega and its two cottages are close to the River Guadiaro, which is one of the few rivers in the region that "never go dry in summer". Savills is asking £2.03 million.

text: Water and Wastewater Treatment for Applications Large and Small TenCate Geotube® industrial fabrics deliver solutions for municipal applications. From our complete product line for the dewatering market, we offer materials that pump sludge from the sewage treatment plants' digesters and lagoons. TenCate Geotube® dewatering technology has been used in water and wastewater treatment applications including lagoon, tank, and digester cleanouts. It can provide dewatering and containment in one operation, with 85% to 90% reduction of BOD in the effluent. In the past, these sewage treatment facilities became inefficient due to digesters and lagoons overflowing with sewage sludge past the safe operating levels. Heavy equipment was used for dewatering before any sludge could be removed. With the use of TenCate Geotube® dewatering technology, the sludge can now be directly pumped from the digesters and lagoons. Because TenCate Geotube® containers are permeable, efficient dewatering can occur while fine grain solids are contained. Most of the time, the dewatered effluent is clear and safe enough to be returned to the plant. The TenCate Geotube® product allows sewage treatment plants to continue operation, reduces the volume of sludge, and reduces the cost of disposal. TenCate Geotube® dewatering technology can be used seasonally, with solids safely stored onsite between uses. It works even with fine-grained sediments, and solids can be disposed of in a landfill or land applied. It can also be a very effective way of handling septage, either at a private receiving station or a municipal site. TenCate Geotube® units are available in sizes to fit drying beds. There is also a unit designed to fit in a roll-off box (TenCate Geotube® MDS) for convenience. Click here to download our TenCate Geotube® MDS brochure. For additional information on the use of TenCate Geotube® dewatering technology for a Municipal application, please contact your TenCate Market Manager. They will be glad to discuss your next dewatering project.

John Rich Does Country Proud On 'Apprentice'
Judging from the season opener that aired on Sunday, John Rich might do pretty well on this season of "Celebrity Apprentice." John felt early on that he might be the underdog in a group that includes baseball great Jose Canseco, La Toya Jackson and other celebs from all fields. "I love it when I see the look in somebody's eye that goes, 'Nice cowboy hat, Dingaling!' "John told the camera. "Don't underestimate the country boys." Rich shined, raising some big money, working the crowd and coming up with some big ideas for the first pizza-selling challenge for the competition. He also sang Big & Rich signature hit "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)." John, who's competing to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, declared, "Country done come to town, brother!"

The aim of the PicoForge project (previously known as PicoLibre) is to provide a set of high level libre software applications that are well integrated in order to provide a collaborative "forge". It makes it easy to deploy a collaborative work platform for developing software or hosting other collaborative activities. Having started (as PicoLibre) in an educational context, PicoForge is now a quite generic platform, comparable (but sometimes less advanced) to other *-Forge software platforms. It groups several high-level applications like phpGroupware, Sympa, TWiki, Subversion, and CVS.
FusionForge is a collaborative development environment that gathers in one single place several tools useful for development teams: communication tools (forums, mailing-lists, news, etc.); development tools (bug/patch trackers, project management, source control systems, etc.); and community tools (file releases, software categorization, Web site hosting, etc.). It is the continuation of the free software version of GForge, based on the codebase that was maintained in parallel to the proprietary GForge AS version.
CodingTeam is a software forge that is lightweight and extensible. It provides a lot of collaborative tools. With this software forge, projects can benefit from basic features (such as screenshots, downloads, uploads, and news), communication features (such as chatrooms, forums, the OpenForge API, and Jabber/XMPP integration), and development features (such as a VCS code browser, a bug tracker, SVG statistics, timeline, and roadmap). Also provided are community tools (project browsing, tag clouds, notepad, and user profiles).

Cassidy Amendment Passes, Scalise leads successful fight against flawed FEMA rate hikes
Washington, D.C. – In a vote just moments ago, the U.S. House approved an amendment by Rep. Bill Cassidy to delay the elimination of certain NFIP grandfather provisions. Congressman Steve Scalise fought side-by-side with other members of the Louisiana delegation to pass this amendment and provide much needed relief to Louisiana homeowners.
"I'm proud to fight to stop FEMA from implementing the Biggert-Waters Act in a way that harms Louisiana homeowners." Scalise said. "Passage of the Cassidy amendment is a vital step to providing much-needed relief for Louisiana families, businesses, and homeowners who are facing unworkable and outrageous increases in their flood insurance premiums. FEMA's mishandling of the Biggert-Waters Act implementation has resulted in the spread of misinformation, shockingly inaccurate rate hikes, and has placed the viability of the entire National Flood Insurance Program at risk. By ignoring existing flood structures and imposing skyrocketing rate hikes, FEMA has almost single-handily jeopardized the entire Southeast Louisiana housing market. Louisiana families will not be left holding the bill for FEMA's incompetence, and I'm proud to help pass this amendment tonight that stops that from happening."
Earlier tonight, Scalise spoke on the House floor in favor of the amendment.

LOS ANGELES, June 30 (UPI) -- The Los Angeles County district attorney's office says actor Jeffrey Jones has been charged with failing to update his registration as a sex offender.
Jones, 63, is best known for his work in the films "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," "Beetlejuice," "Amadeus" and "Sleepy Hollow."
He was ordered in 2003 to register as a sex offender and undergo counseling, and was placed on five years' probation after he pleaded no contest to persuading a 14-year-old boy to pose for nude photographs.
The Los Angeles Times said Jones was arrested June 23 on suspicion of failing to renew his registration with the state of California within five days of his last birthday, Sept. 28, 2009.
He was released on $20,000 bail, the newspaper said Wednesday.
The Times did not say whether Jones explained why he didn't register in a timely manner.

Turmoil in Egypt makes it all the more imperative that Israelis and Palestinians return to negotiations, the Middle East diplomatic Quartet said on Saturday after a meeting in Germany.
"I don't have to tell you that the events that we have witnessed in the region mean it is hugely important that we are making progress in the Middle East peace process," EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said.
"I believe that regional events should not distract us from that objective for the future. We want to see peace and stability in the region, and we believe that the Middle East peace process is an essential part of that."
After the talks in Munich, Ashton and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and UN head Ban Ki-moon agreed to meet again in March.
Envoys from the four Middle East peace mediators will seek to hold separate talks with Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Brussels before then, as well as with representatives of the Arab Peace Initiative Committee.
The Quartet, in a statement, called on all parties "to undertake urgently efforts to expedite Israeli-Palestinian and comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace, which is imperative to avoiding outcomes detrimental to the region."
The Palestinians walked out of peace talks after Israel refused in September to renew a temporary ban on building settlements in the West Bank -- on land earmarked for a future Palestinian state.
The Palestinian Authority meanwhile has been defensive since Qatar-based satellite channel Al-Jazeera started releasing thousands of documents purported to show huge concessions offered to Israel behind closed doors.
But the tumultuous events in Egypt threaten to dwarf such issues if, as many in Israel and elsewhere fear, revolts convulsing Egypt end up replacing President Hosni Mubarak's regime with a government hostile to the Jewish state.
A poll published on Thursday indicated that 59 percent of Israelis predicted an Islamic regime in a post-Mubarak Egypt while only 21 percent foresaw a secular democratic government.
After four wars, Egypt signed a peace accord with its neighbour in 1979, and since coming to power in 1981 Mubarak played a key role mediating between Israel and the rest of the Arab world, and the Palestinians in particular.
Clinton on Saturday acknowledged that there was a risk of an authoritarian regime coming to power.
"Revolutions have overthrown dictators in the name of democracy, only to see the political process hijacked by new autocrats who use violence, deception, and rigged elections," Clinton said in Munich.
Under international pressure to ease the plight of the Palestinians, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday approved a raft of economic cooperation measures, after a meeting with Quartet envoy Tony Blair.
But chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat told AFP the proposals were "totally unacceptable."
"If Netanyahu wants to establish mutual trust and peace, he must stop settlement-building in the West Bank and east Jerusalem immediately and recognise the 'terms of reference' of the peace process, starting with the recognition of a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders," he said.
