I'm so excited to share that Recycled Into Yarn has kicked off the 1st Tunisian Crochet Recycled Yarn Along Part 1 which is how to make a swatch with the Tunisian Crochet Simple Stitch.
You can see that the Tunisian Simple Stitch looks awesome with the different types of recycled yarn.
The tarn and plarn swatches were made with an afghan hook size I. Because I did not have a afghan hook bigger than size I, a regular crochet hook size was used to make the pants yarn to make the simple stitch stand out.
You can find step by step detailed instructions on the Part 1 Tunisian Simple Stitch (Tss).

When faced with a decision of what to do with extra fabric laying around the house, contibuting to overfilled landfills wasn't even a consideration for Teresa. She knew the easiest way to recycle textiles is to repurpose them. And, I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say her efforts were successful.

Please help me give a huge thank you to MyRecycled Bags on the two newest free patterns that are made available on her website, MyRecycled Bags for all of us to enjoy.
When you stop and think about it, there is always potential 'recycled yarn' lying or hanging around the house. It's there because we're looking right at it. It may not be recognized at first but eventually we see it. For example one minute you're sleeping on a bed sheet and pillow case and the next scrubbing dishes with it or even fashionably wearing it over the shoulder. It's really hard to describe that feeling of gratification that comes with creatively extending the life of an item beyond what it was originally intended.
If you're looking for potential recycled fabric or rag yarn, the best place I know to start looking is that one place we continue to pile up the old bed sheets & pillow cases that we dare not use again or the curtains that at one time had seen many sunrises and sunsets. Some of us have them in bin(s) or stacked up on a shelf in that 'one' closet waiting to decide on what to do with them. We hold onto them because we know that there are so many wonderful projects that can be created but just not sure where to start.
Look no further because Sharon of Laughing Purple Goldfish Designs shows us just how much fun it is to make fabric yarn. Below are 2 different tutorials she has created for us:
Okay, now that you have all of this beautiful fabric yarn made up,
what to do - what to do ??

Parkinson: It's a squad game
Bradford boss Phil Parkinson believes his summer signings will all have a big role to play for the club as the season unfolds.
Last Updated: 08/10/13 2:46pm
Bradford boss Phil Parkinson believes his summer signings will all have a big role to play for the club as the season unfolds.
The likes of Mark Yeates, Jason Kennedy and Raffaele De Vita have all had to be patient as Parkinson has relied on the same group of players who won promotion in May and embarked on last season's Capital One Cup run all the way to Wembley.
A settled side has been key to the Bantams' climb up to fourth in the table on the back of one defeat in their opening nine league games, with leading goalscorer Nahki Wells (ankle) the first to miss out through injury in last weekend's win at Walsall.
"Without a doubt that continuity has been crucial," Parkinson told Press Association Sport.
"In my mind, right back in pre-season, even though we brought five or six players in, I felt I wanted to go with the team which got us over the finish line at Wembley.
"We've managed to do that, but just recently we've had some disruption for the first time through injury, but we've now got players I'm very confident can come in and make a contribution and we will definitely need all of them."
Bradford, unbeaten at home this season, take on Tranmere at Valley Parade on Sunday and Parkinson added: "We keep reminding the lads that we've got to make it difficult for the opposition on our home patch.
"You can't guarantee a win every other week, but what we can guarantee is that the opposition are sat in their dressing room afterwards and think that was a really tough game."

China, North Korea Tout Ties as Kim Exits
SEOUL—North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il met Chinese President Hu Jintao during his five-day visit to northeast China, the Chinese government confirmed Monday night as Mr. Kim left the country, in a surprise get-together that underscored the two nations' bond as they cope with pressure from the U.S. and others to act more responsibly.
The meeting wasn't expected to lead to any substantive change in North Korea's isolationist behavior. Instead it highlighted Mr. Kim's dependence on China, his country's chief political ally and economic benefactor, as he pursues more time and money for his regime—and the possibility of transferring power to his son—while dealing from a position weakened by his own illness, internal strife and international condemnation over weapons testing and other provocations.
The announcement that Messrs. Kim and Hu had met led what appeared to be a coordinated public-relations push by China on Monday, with stories in several media outlets praising the China-North Korea relationship while also saying Beijing shouldn't be held responsible for Pyongyang's actions.
The meeting happened Friday, though China, as has been its practice with Mr. Kim's previous visits, waited until the North Korean leader left to say he had been in the country at all.
In reports of the Kim-Hu meeting, China's state media said that Mr. Kim wanted a resumption of the six-nation talks aimed at persuading North Korea to give up its pursuit of nuclear weapons. The reports also hinted that Mr. Kim was interested in the economic overhauls that opened China to the world, though they didn't say he endorsed or would follow them.
Mr. Kim for years has resisted requests of Chinese leaders to open up North Korea's economy. Late last year, his regime tried to clamp down on market activities, such as North Koreans running food stalls and other small businesses, but halted the effort when the government couldn't feed people.
Mr. Hu, in turn, said on state TV that China should expand its economic cooperation with North Korea. Since Mr. Kim's entourage was spotted in China on Thursday, analysts have speculated that one reason he made the trip was to seek more money and assistance for the impoverished North. In addition to chronic food shortages, summer floods hit extra hard this year.
Analysts also speculated that Mr. Kim brought his heir apparent, son Kim Jong Eun, to meet Chinese officials ahead of a political meeting in Pyongyang next week that may be the son's public debut in North Korea. The Chinese news reports about the visit didn't mention the son, however. Mr. Kim began pursuing a succession scheme after suffering a stroke-like illness two years ago.
Mr. Kim's entourage twice during the trip stopped in places associated with his father, North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, in moves that were likely intended to highlight the importance of the Kim family as another potential succession looms.
For outside diplomats, the greatest significance of the trip is the symbolism of Messrs. Kim and Hu going to great lengths to meet each other in the aftermath of criticism both countries faced following the sinking of a South Korean naval ship this year, an incident that South Korea, the U.S. and others blame on a North Korean attack.
By Road and Rail
The route of Kim Jong Il's surprise trip to China
China has refused to blame North Korea publicly for the sinking, which killed 46 South Korean sailors, or to examine the results of the South Korea-led investigation.
Instead, North Korea and China have, since late May when the probe first produced the accusation against North Korea, called for the resumption of the six-party denuclearization talks, which Pyongyang formally walked away from last year.
Japan, South Korea and the U.S. have said North Korea damaged the potential for the talks with its attack on the South Korean ship. As well, the U.S. wants North Korea to live up to the agreements it previously made in the talks.
"Vague references to the six-party talks have little persuasive power from a U.S. perspective," says Gordon Flake, a Korea specialist and executive director at the Mansfield Foundation, an independent organization in Washington that promotes dialogue between the U.S. and Asian countries.
Mr. Flake said Mr. Kim's regime, in statements made in its internal media, defines the denuclearization effort differently than the other countries in the talks. In a stance that Washington rejects, North Korea wants recognition as a nuclear power and wants the talks to cover America's own disarmament and the removal of U.S. protection and troops from South Korea.
Some observers have little hope that China will change its approach to Pyongyang. "China is backing this regime to the bitter end and then supporting the transition to Kim's successor to ensure China's interests," says Victor Cha, a former U.S. negotiator in the talks who is now a professor at Georgetown University.
Others note time is on North Korea's side since diplomats generally prefer talks to no talks.
"The bar for diplomacy in other regions is performance. In Northeast Asia, attendance, just getting the parties together, is achievement itself," said John Park, Asia analyst at the U.S. Institute for Peace, a government-funded research center in Washington. He said, "We're very, very far away from denuclearization."
The message to restart the talks was also given last week by a different North Korean official to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter when Mr. Carter went to Pyongyang to retrieve a U.S. teacher who entered North Korea illegally in January. Mr. Kim skipped the chance to meet Mr. Carter to go to China instead.
Mr. Kim's trip was unusual for the secretive leader, who, before a trip to China in May, hadn't ventured from North Korea since 2006. He doesn't like to fly and travels by a train that is easily monitored by satellite by foreign governments. His entourage is typically tracked on the ground by reporters who follow the highly visible security cordons that go up along his route.
On Monday, South Korean and Japanese news agencies reported the action as Mr. Kim's train traveled from Harbin, the capital of China's most northeastern province, Heilongjiang, to a smaller city called Mudanjiang and then down to the border crossing at Tumen.
Mr. Kim called himself a "witness" to the success of China's "reform and opening," Chinese television reported, but it was unclear whether that meant the North would follow that model. Last year, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, in a visit to Pyongyang, proposed development projects valued at several billion dollars to North Korea, but none have gotten off the ground.
Monday, Chinese state media rang with praise for North Korea and .one nationalist newspaper, the Global Times, in an editorial called the China-North Korea relationship both "special" and "normal."
The state-run Xinhua news agency published a commentary talking about Chinese men who sacrificed their lives for North Korea, during the Korean War of the 1950s and afterward. Its latest example was the tale of a Chinese man who drowned this month after rescuing three North Korean girls adrift at sea.
The man's "sacrifice led us again to recollect the long history of friendship between the two peoples," Xinhua wrote.
"The biggest negative impact the China-North Korea relationship has on China is that the U.S, Japan and South Korea all request that China be responsible for North Korea's 'irrational behaviors,'" the newspaper wrote. "However, China has no ability to shoulder such responsibility."

POLL - What 2009 Movie Are You Most Eagerly Anticipating?
While there may be a week or so left in 2008, it isn't too soon to start turning our attention in earnest to 2009. The new year isn't shaping up to be quite as strong [at least volume wise] as 2008 in the comic book/genre movie department, ut Hollywood has a few intriguing offerings in the mix throughout the year, and we want to know which you're most eagerly anticipating.So with all due apologies and acknowledgement to Astro Boy, The Surrogates, Whiteout, G-Force, Terminator Salvation, Dragonball, Coraline, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen [among others], here's five choices along with a few words about each. You can vote in the poll below and you don't have to be a registered Newsarama member to participate.
1. Watchmen (Warner Bros., March)
Hardly with anyone noticing the change, the buzz on Zack Snyder's magnum opus stopped being about what it had been for years - 'can Watchmen be successfully adapted into film' - and under all our noses became 'can it adapted satisfyingly-enough under three hours'?Anticipation seems high, as does fans' seeming confidence Snyder can pull it off. 2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (20th Century Fox, May) He's arguably Marvel's most popular character in their pantheon, has a back-story than lends itself to endless story possibilities, and he's portrayed by an actor that has already earned his claws and fan loyalty through the first three X-Men films. If ever there was a superhero movie that could be considered a lay-up, it might be this one. As one of the only two big superhero/comic book movies of the year, barring disaster, look for Wolverine to be a lock as one of the top earning movies of the year. 3. Star Trek (Paramount, May)
Easily the film with the most riding on its success [or lack thereof], J.J. Abrams' attempt to revive the once lucrative Paramount franchise is maybe the one that induces the most jitters among fans. The rumored script issues and schedule reshuffle from this year to next summer had fans anticipating problems, but last month's trailer may have calmed the waters just a bit.4. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Warner Bros. July)
Perhaps the most interesting case study in the group. The Harry Potter franchise is seemingly as rock-solid as they come, but this will be the first Potter movie released since the book series concluded with Deathly Hollows [although to be fair, there was just 10 days between it and the last film Order of the Phoenix].
With the final fate of Harry and friends already revealed to their millions of fans for two years, will it have any affect on the anticipation for the remaining three movie adaptations? Will closure have already set in or does it up the appetite for the final three installments?5. G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (Paramount, August) Perhaps the only film of the group that can rival Star Trek in terms of "fear factor", the franchise's army of fans young and old are shaking in their combat boots anticipating potential adaptation disaster. Has great potential due to its multi-generational appeal, but this is perhaps the true wildcard among the five.  What 2009 comic book/genre movie are you most eagerly anticipating?

Top U.S. General to Meet With IDF Chief on Joint Israel-U.S. Security Challenges
IDF says joint discussion with senior IDF staff would deal with cooperation between the two countries' armies and the joint security challenges they face.
The Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, will meet with his Israeli counterparts on Friday in a bid to coordinate steps and clarify Israel's intentions with regard to a possible attack on Iran's nuclear installations.
Gen. Dempsey arrived in Israel on Thursday on his first visit to the country. He will meet on Friday with Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, followed by a meeting with the head of the IDF planning division, Maj. Gen. Ido Nechushtan, and the head of the IDF's intelligence division, Maj. Gen. Aviv Kochavi.
The IDF said the joint discussion with senior IDF staff would deal with cooperation between the two countries' armies and the joint security challenges they face.
Gen. Dempsey will also meet with Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, and will pay a visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial and museum.
On Thursday, evening Dempsey had dinner in Tel Aviv with Gantz. The two also met earlier in the week at the NATO headquarters, where they discussed enhanced regional cooperation to prevent weapon smuggling in the Middle East.

Food Stamps, Cash Assistance Article
The Food Stamp Program: Income and Deductions
The Food Stamp Program: Income and Deductions
By Southern Arizona Legal Aid, Inc.
To qualify for food stamps, you must have less income than the food stamp income limits. Some income does not count. DES will deduct certain expenses from your income before they decide how many food stamps you can get. These expenses include things like day care costs, child support payments, and shelter and utility expenses. Elderly and disabled persons can also get a deduction for out-of-pocket medical expenses over $35 a month.
Resources - Resources are things you own such as cash on hand or in the bank. Your household can have up to $2,000 in resources. If a member of your food stamp household is age 60 or over, the household can have up to $3000 in resources. There are special resource limits for the cars and trucks you own. Some resources don't count.
Other Requirements
DES will also consider your immigration status, where you live, who lives with you and your ability to work in deciding if you can get food stamps.
Work Requirements
If you are age 16 to 60, you may have to participate in the Food Stamp Employment and Training Program. Some people are excused from participating in this program.
You must also meet the Able-Bodied work requirement to get food stamps. To do this, you must work or be in a DES approved training program for at least 20 hours a week. You can be excused from the able-bodied work requirement if you are:
- under age 18 or over age 50;
- a half-time student;
- unable to work because of a disability;
- pregnant;
- in the Jobs program;
- getting unemployment benefits;
- taking care of a disabled person at least 20 hours a week;
- in a drug or alcohol treatment program;
- living where there is high unemployment;
- responsible for a child under 18.
If you do not meet the able-bodied work requirement and you are not excused, you can only get food stamps for 3 months in a 36 month period.
Can I Apply for Food Stamps Any Time?
Yes! DES must accept your application. You need to fill out an application and be interviewed before DES can decide if you can get food stamps. You can ask for an application from any DES office.
What Happens at the Interview?
DES will go over the questions and answers on the application with you. Always give DES accurate and complete information.
What if I am Elderly or Disabled?
If you can't go to the DES office because you are elderly or disabled and no one in your home can apply for you, you should call DES to ask that an application be mailed to you. DES must mail it the same day. You can also ask DES to interview you by telephone or by a home visit. You can also authorize some one to be your representative so they can apply for you. DES must accommodate you.
What Type of Information Must I Verify?
DES can ask you for written proof of certain things which show you are eligible for food stamps. These things include social security numbers, identification, persons living in your home, where you live, rent or mortgage and utility expenses, etc.
DES must give you 10 days to give them this information. If you can't do this within 10 days, you should ask DES for more time. You can also ask DES for help.
How Long Does DES Have to Make a Decision?
Within 30 days of the application date, DES must send you a written decision which approves or denies your application. The decision must say whether you are eligible for food stamps, the amount of food stamps you will get, and how to dispute the decision if you do not agree with it.
What If I Disagree?
You can dispute the decision by requesting a fair hearing within 90 days of the date of the food stamp decision letter. To ask for a fair hearing, you should fill out the form on the back of the decision and give it to DES.
What If I Need Food Stamps Right Away?
Emergency food stamps are called expedited food stamps. You may qualify for expedited food stamps if you have not received food stamps for 30 days before your application and you meet special income requirements. DES must interview you the same day or the following day of your application. If you qualify for expedited food stamps, DES must give you food stamps within 7 days.
Do I Have to Report Changes?
Within 10 days of the change, you must tell DES about changes in your situation which could affect your eligibility for food stamps. This includes changes in income, resources, jobs, residence, household members, etc.
How Do I Report Changes?
You can report changes by calling your DES worker or by filling out a change report form at DES. It is best to fill out a change report form and ask DES to stamp it with the date you turned it in. You should ask for a date-stamped copy for your records. If you have to call DES, you should write down the date you called and who you spoke to in case DES does not make a record of your call.

operation named South Mountain Asset Management, and is
understood to be seeding the start-up with at least $50
The word on the street is that Stacey Hahn Sull –
the former CEO of one of Korea's largest asset
managers, Cosmo Asset Management – could be brought in
as the firm's CIO and CEO. However, a source at
South Mountain said a decision on that has yet to be
Daewoo Securities, a subsidiary of the KDB Financial Group,
is the second largest brokerage and investment banking group in
Korea terms of capitalisation, ranking just under Samsung
South Mountain is understood to be positioning itself to
become either an equity long/short specialist or a
multi-strategy vehicle investing in various types of asset
classes. It has already applied to the Hong Kong Securities and
Futures Commission for a licence.
The new team comes from two strategy groups at Daewoo
– focused on equity and multi-asset strategy,
respectively – that have traded internal capital for
the firm in Hong Kong with excellent returns for a number of
years. The equity team had two portfolio managers while the
multi-asset team had one, all of whom will migrate to South
Prior to Cosmo, Sull founded and ran Oojoo Capital Partners,
which ran a largely directional long/short Asian equity fund
with a bias towards Korea, as well as having exposure in Japan,
Taiwan, Singapore and Thailand. Before Oojoo, Sull managed over
$2 billion in long-only portfolios at Morgan Stanley Investment
Management in Singapore.
South Mountain is understood to have taken an office at the
swanky IFC building in Hong Kong's central
business district and appointed Goldman Sachs as its sole prime

great story :)
I have the weirdest of boners right now…
Dude, I have an e30 m3, i know what its supposed to sound like, so, dip di durr
and by the way ; usa had the eco gearbox with a 4.10lsd
the euros had 5 speed sports gear boxes with 3.25 and 3.15 lsds .
and then bmw.. screwed up usa on the E36 engines … so lol… sory, most of you never saw what a E30 S50B30 tuned to 300hp could do … i can only imagine the H35 24s with 330hp ….. ^^

rice = racing inspired car enhancement
Do not mistake it for a ricer, a copycat wannabe. The M stands for motorsport. The Ms have been developed to compete in the DTM originally. It does not copy anything. It is what it is, an original. If it sounds like a racer, that's because it almost is. It does not sound like a ricer, ricers sound like it.
The "farting" is laughable, because it's just all talk, without power behind it. This one has got what it takes though. It's an original, not a wannabe.
Cool story Bro!
The exhaust sounds AMAZING! Does anyone know if that's the stock exhaust or has it been modified? AWESOME video as well!
Only US e36 M3 was under powered, original EU version was not.
In EU was popular Alpina e30 with 6 cylinders (not M3) a lot of people (not a car guys) still mistakes that for M3.
I'm not a car guy, I even do not own any car, I'm anartist who just love machines. But what a movie what a story what a camera work!!!!!!
i love ur fricken videos
Pravi si gabor
Thumbs up if you searched the web for 2nd hand E30 M3's after watching this video.
Great story, car sounds kind of ricey, but great story

A total of 215 points is a lot in any basketball game. In a 40-minute college game, it is nearly unheard of.
Fortunately for BYU fans, the Cougars scored 112 of those points in a memorable road win over the Stanford Cardinal on ESPN 2 Monday night, winning 112-103 in a contest that wasn't that close. The Cougar offense was about as good as it gets, putting up nearly three points per minute — at a rate that would equate to 134 points in an NBA game.
BYU started hot and stayed that way as guards Kyle Collinsworth, Matt Carlino and Tyler Haws took turns controlling the game, with contributions at key times from big men Eric Mika and Nate Austin, and steady play off the bench from guards Anson Winder and Frank Bartley IV. The Cougar defense was not exactly a stone wall, as evidenced by the scoreboard, but BYU had spurts of aggressive takeaway defense that were sufficient to take over the game.
It was the kind of road win against a power conference team that, more often than not, has escaped BYU. Stanford has been an underachieving program the last few years, having not made the NCAA Tournament since 2008. Since 2010 in particular, however, the Cardinal has had great success in recruiting, and this is the year many expect that recruiting to finally pay off with an NCAA Tournament run.
According to Scout.com, Stanford received commitments from five 4-star players and five 3-star players from 2010-12, so the talent is certainly there — at least on paper. In fact, junior point guard Chasson Randle, senior power forward Dwight Powell and junior small forward Anthony Brown were all rated in the top 12 at their respective positions coming out of high school.
The season has not started quite as impressively as Stanford fans hoped it would, with the team escaping Bucknell by only four points, 72-68, on its home court. Certainly after Monday night's game, any pessimism Cardinal fans may have felt will only deepen. Meanwhile, Dave Rose's group may very well be a legitimate top-25 team this season and could rise in the rankings if it can continue to build momentum going into games against Iowa State, Texas and Utah State the latter part of this month.
Here's how each position group fared in Monday night's offensive explosion.
Nathan Gagon is a finance manager by day and writer/musician by night, but mostly he is a wholehearted father, grateful husband and ardent student of life around the clock. Oh, and he shoots about 94 percent from the free-throw line ... no big deal.
Kyle Collinsworth was phenomenal in the first half, with 12 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and a block — controlling play and setting the tone for the evening.
Matt Carlino took over the game midway through the second half to push the lead over 15 and played under control long enough for BYU to build an insurmountable lead.
Tyler Haws was good throughout the game and brilliant in the second half, hitting shots from every angle and keeping constant pressure on the Stanford defense by moving relentlessly without the ball, as per the norm.
As if that wasn't enough, Anson Winder and Frank Bartley IV were outstanding off the bench, hitting 5-8 shots, dishing five assists and playing disruptive defense.
This grade was an A+ until the last few minutes of the game, when Carlino seemed to forget that the shot clock was longer than 10 seconds, despite the fact BYU had a big-but-shrinking lead and obviously needed to run some clock.
Grade: A
The Cougar post players once again did what was needed to contribute to the victory. BYU fans couldn't wait to see freshman Eric Mika in action this season, and he did not disappoint in his second game.
Mika continued to show athleticism, physicality and skill as a passer, while also demonstrating a few promising offensive moves in the paint. No question he struggled rebounding and guarding at times, and had moments where he looked like an unsure freshman, but he was a big part of that first half for the Cougars, which was largely where the game was won.
Nate Austin had one of his better overall games as well, scoring 12 points on just seven shots while pulling down eight boards and providing a presence in the paint defensively during a couple of key Cougar runs.
Grade: B
As long as it wasn't at the foul line, the visiting team from Provo was hitting shots Monday night, and the coaching staff had a lot to do with that.
The Cougars kept Stanford off balance with an effective mix of attack strategies — using dribble penetration, myriad post-up variations, off-ball picks and cuts, and some well-timed 3-pointers. BYU coach Dave Rose vs. Stanford's Johnny Dawkins may have been the biggest mismatch in the building, as the Cougars looked more confident and fluid in what they were doing than the Cardinal.
Rose's bunch gave up a lot of points, but played stellar defense in spurts to stretch the lead and steal away confidence from their opponent. Still, BYU will not shoot 54 percent and make more than half of its 3-pointers every game, so it better not plan on giving up triple-digits and winning very often.
Offensive grade: A+
Defensive grade: C-
Point guard Chasson Randle and power forward Dwight Powell lived up to their billing offensively, combining for 61 points on 38 field goal attempts. The Cardinal certainly scored plenty of points against the Cougars — enough to win just about every time Stanford takes the court.
There is no way to sugar-coat the defensive performance, however, as BYU had the home team reeling from start to finish. Stanford was picked to finish sixth in the Pac-12 by the media this season, and middle of the pack in that conference seems about right for this group. Small forward Anthony Brown was a disappointment on both ends of the floor.
If the team does not play with better focus and effort on defense, it would not be a surprise to hear rumblings about head coach Johnny Dawkins' job security as the season goes along.
Grade: C-
This was a wild and crazy game for the officials. There were 52 fouls called and 77 free throws attempted. The game was certainly called closely, with very little contact taking place without a whistle blowing.
The new rules in the college game that make guarding even more difficult for defenders seemed to have an impact. For the second game in a row, BYU outplayed its opponent to a degree that took the game out of the officials' hands, making them largely a non-factor.
Grade: B
Was there a crowd at the game? At times it sure didn't feel like there was much of one. If that was a big-time Pac-12 basketball atmosphere, the small gyms of the WCC don't seem quite so bad.
Sure, the BYU lead, time of year and excitement over the Stanford football team were probably all factors — but that just didn't feel like a very tough road environment.
Grade: D

UK – More than 5.5 million households are suffering under fuel poverty, many being forced to choose between heating or eating.
Click HERE to view 'Fair energy? rising profits, rising poverty' graphic
Meanwhile the Big Six energy suppliers increased their profit margins by 733 per cent in just three months last year. Enough is enough. Today The Independent supports a campaign to force energy companies to share their profits with the needy. The aim is simple: to make essential home energy affordable to all.
An estimated 3,000 winter deaths are caused every year by fuel poverty and as the winter chill really begins to hit home, with more snow and icy weather forecast for the next few days, it could be the worst time for the vulnerable, particularly the elderly.
… Average household bills have doubled in the past six years from around £600 a year in 2006 to more than £1,200 a year now. The increases have more people than ever slipping into fuel poverty – when their gas and electricity costs account for at least a tenth of their income. According to research from uSwitch, £1,500 a year on energy is the tipping point at which three-quarters of households will start rationing their energy, three-fifths will go without adequate heating and more than a third will be forced to turn their heating off entirely.

Russia has handed over the much awaited nuclear-powered attack submarine Nerpa to India on a 10-year lease, boosting the Indian Navy's fire-power.
The Akula-II class Nerpa nuclear submarine had recently finished sea trials. The signing ceremony happened on Thursday at the Bolshoi Kamen ship building facility in the Primorye region where the Nerpa is now based, a senior Russian navy official was quoted as saying.
The deal for the submarine, which is being transferred on a 10-year lease, was worth $ 920 million.
The report said an Indian crew would sail the Akula II class craft to its home base at the end of January.
All of the naval tests and performance checks have been completed, the Russian navy official said.
The submarine, capable of remaining underwater for months, will be rechristened as INS Chakra and it would be for the first time in more than two decades that the Indian navy would have a nuclear attack submarine.
When Russia makes the delivery, it will make India only the sixth operator of nuclear submarines in the world.
The submarine deal had figured during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Russia earlier this month.
The Nerpa had originally been scheduled for delivery in 2008 but an accident during sea trials on November 8 that year, which had killed 22 people, mostly civilians, had forced the Russian authorities to put it on hold. It was one of Russia's worst naval accidents.

Hancock elementary school finishes in top 15 percent for state MMRs
The new ratings are the result of implementation of a new fairer, more accurate accountability system made possible through the state's No Child Left Behind waiver.
Among the Title one schools, Hancock Elementary was rated in the top 15 percent of Minnesota schools based on their MMR and is listed as a reward school. Hancock Elementary received 69.04 total points out of 75 for 92.05 percent. Hancock High School, which is not a Title 1 school, received 71.86 points out of 75 for 95.82 percent.
"This is another good day for Minnesota's efforts to raise the bar and improve student achievement for every student," said Commissioner of Education Brenda Cassellius. "With this new accountability system, we'll be able to better assess how our schools are really doing, and put in place structures and resources to support their efforts. Rather than relying on a failed system that doled out punitive labels and didn't tell the whole story about schools, today we're recognizing our high performing schools and making a commitment to stand beside those schools most in need."
The ratings include three designations:
Reward Schools: The highest-performing 15 percent of Title I schools in the state. The state named 128 schools in this category.
Focus Schools: The 10 percent of Title I schools making the biggest contribution to the state's achievement gap. There are 85 schools that received this designation.
Priority Schools: The five percent most persistently low-performing Title I schools in the state. There are 42 schools that received this designation.
Under the new system, schools designated as Reward Schools will be recognized for their good work. MDE will look to share any best practices taking place in their classrooms with other schools across the state. Reward Schools will be identified every year.
Schools designated as Priority Schools will receive the full support of MDE and newly created Regional Centers of Excellence to develop a school turnaround plan based on the federal turnaround principles. Under federal regulations, 19 of the schools identified as Priority Schools are currently operating under the School Improvement Grant program. These schools will have the opportunity to exit the list in 2013 if they are no longer in the bottom 25 percent of Title I schools. Priority schools will be identified once every three years.
Similarly, schools designated as Focus Schools will work with their district to develop a school improvement plan that directly addresses poor performance either within a subgroup, or in graduation rates. These schools will also be identified once every three years.
The accountability system takes into account the unique challenges facing each community, providing districts with the flexibility necessary to create a turnaround plan that best addresses a school's particular needs. In this way, each turnaround plan will vary from school to school.

Hello Metronic,
we have recently upgraded metronic template from 1.5.4 to 3.1. my directory structure is little different than the actual structure maintained by metronics. Apart from changing paths in respective pages, is there any where else that i need to change the paths of files? because my font-awesome icons stopped showing in the browser.
Note: i'm not using scss files. just plain css files
Thanks in advance
icons does display correctly (please ignore my previous question). i'm using dashboard mega menu (index_horizontal_menu.html). Problem is that the, HORIZONTAL RESPONSIVE MENU block is showing as sidebar when viewed in desktop browser (this should be hidden when viewed in desktop browser). This block is supposed to show when we resize the browser. Please look at the link belowhttp://easycaptures.com/0028679358
Note: However this does display correctly when viewed from keen themes.
Hi ,
Thanks for your feedback.
When you upgrade from v1.x to v3.x you will need to replace "assets" folder completely and update all the html code from scratch. So you should not mix v1.x and v3.x code. Will be easier if you reintegrate the latest version from scratch.
If you need any further assistance please contact our support at email@example.com
Hi, loving the theme… also loving the new chat feature. Can I ask what/who you have used for this feature – looking for further documentation etc.
Hi ,
Thanks for your feedback. The chat feature is not fully functional chat system. It uses some static data for demo purposes only. Basically the chat system should implemented by buyers based on their preferred chat engine or protocol. If you need more clarifications please let us know.
Hi , thought i had asked yesterday , but post is got lost …anyway
we are running in a locked down network , some users do not have access to the internet , so this causes the google fonts not to load ,what work around do we have
is there anything else that might break if they don't have access ?
Hi ,
There is only external resource(Open Sans font from google) loaded from http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,300,600,700&subset=all. You just copy the font assets and put it under your local directory and load it locally. The rest assets are loaded from local and there should not any issue if you use the theme without internet connection.

That means I can't have a page at the root of the web URL using this script. Am I missing something? Or do you have any suggestion? Thanks, Patrick

First of all, the template looks great ! Is it possible to fast and easy connect rest apis with this template?
Hi ,
Thanks for your feedback. This is an HTML theme and it has nothing to do with rest apis. Basically Metronic provides you design and page templates but the server side implementing is responsibility of buyers.
If you need any further clarifications please let us know.
We are using the bar graph that you have provided in your metronic theme. However, we are facing some challenges. i) When number of bars are on the higher side, the labels are overlapping with each other. Is there any way to control the inclination of the labels (for example labels will be at an angle of 45 degree or completely vertical etc)?
ii) The bars are always starting from extreme left and ending at extreme right. So if i need to show just two bars, it is looking very odd because the first bar is at extreme left and second bar is at extreme right and thus creating lot of void in between. Is there any way to control the starting and end point of the bars?
Please help.
Hi ,

hi, how do i refresh #page-content after submitting an ajax loaded form on bootstrap modal ?
one thing, i think you should set to null a modal on bootstrap modal on hide event so can be reuse to load another ajax content.
Hi ,
You can use below js code to clear bootstrap modals content on hide:
$('body').on('hidden.bs.modal', '.modal', function () { $(this).removeData('bs.modal'); });
I don't understand your question on "do i refresh #page-content". Could you please clarify it with more details ?
after i hide this bootstrap modal, i'd like to refresh the div#page-content, how do i do that ?
Hi ,
Could you please clarify "refresh the div#page-content" ? Do you want to replace the content of div#page-content ? Could you please provide more detailed info what you are trying to do so we can assist you more effectively.
i have div#page-content loaded with datatables by ajax from sidemenu. And in datatables i use modals to input form data. after submitted form, i need to close the modals and refresh the datatables inside the div#page-content. so what i called "refresh" is replace in your term indeed..
Hi ,You can try to use reload method as shown here: http://datatables.net/reference/api/ajax.reload()
If you are using our datatable wrapper then you can use:
var grid = new Datatable(); grid.init({ src: $("#datatable_ajax"), onSuccess: function (grid) { // execute some code after table records loaded }, onError: function (grid) { // execute some code on network or other general error }, dataTable: { // here you can define a typical datatable settings from http://datatables.net/usage/options "lengthMenu": [ [20, 50, 100, 150, -1], [20, 50, 100, 150, "All"] // change per page values here ], "pageLength": 20, // default record count per page "ajax": { "url": "demo/table_ajax.php", // ajax source }, "order": [ [1, "asc"] ] // set first column as a default sort by asc } }); grid.getDataTable().fnDraw();
If you need any further assistance please email us(firstname.lastname@example.com) a link to your developing site.
unfortunately i reload the datatables from the modal element and the grid already initialized by then.
Hi ,
Then you can declare var grid = new Datatable(); globally so you can access to grid from your moda's context. To declare the above variable globally you can follow below code:
var grid; // declare global variable first outside the main class clause. grid = new Datatable(); // initialize the variable so you can access.To learn more about javascript variable scope please refer below links: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/var http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/08/01/what-you-need-to-know-about-javascript-scope/

Hi, Could i know how this admin template link to my web? Is there any guidance?
Hi ,
Metronic is an HTML theme(html, css, js) and it is not fully functional admin panel. Basically Metronic provides html templates that can be used as an interface for any web application.
If you need any further clarifications please let us know.
Hi Metronic,
One suggestion
you have 2 repetitive blocks for horizontal menu (one for Desktop & other for mobile versions). I would recommend to keep blocks inside respective div's consistent (i.e. ul & li blocks inside both the div's)
Hi ,
Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, this part needs some improvements. We will check it further ans definitely consider improving it in a future release.
To stay updated on Metronic's new releases please follow us on http://twitter.com/keenthemes
Can i expect some improvements in that area (repetitive blocks for desktop & mobile versions) in the next version?If so when are you planning to release next version tentatively?. if the release is close by then we can wait. Thank you
Hi ,
Sorry, at the moment we can't confirm this for the next update. But we will do our best to release it as soon as possible. The next release should be out soon, but again the exact date will be confirmed later.

Looking for the Input mask option in version 3.1 that was offered in this version:
Version 1.2.1 – 13 April 2013 New: Form Input Masks(Form Stuff -> Form Components -> "Input Masks" portlet)
I cannot find it in the 3.1 version
Hi ,
It was moved to this page: http://keenthemes.com/preview/metronic/templates/admin/components_form_tools.html
I am using Metronic 3.1.
I just wanted to point out a potential issue with the DataTables implementation.
Line #162 of "/assets/global/scripts/datatable.js" has:
dataTable = table.dataTable(options.dataTable);
When I retrieve the DataTable object via getDataTable(), the incorrect object is returned and I cannot use it according to the API docs for v1.10.0 for such things as calling .row(), .draw(), or .remove()
I think it is going to mess up your custom Datatable helper class but it should be:
dataTable = table.DataTable(options.dataTable);
Please let me know if I am misunderstanding anything.
I would also like to point out that the code is very confusing because the object/variable name datatable is used several times and the capitalization keeps changing. I think if you were to rename your Datatable wrapper/helper Class to something like MetronicDataTable then I would have experienced far less trouble tracking down this issue.
Thank you.
Hi ,
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, according the new API "DataTable" should be used. We will fix it in the next update.

If you need any further clarifications please let us know.

Danielle And Kevin Jonas Still Don't Look Like A Real Couple On This Magazine Cover
A lot of people would give up on a fakelationship conspiracy theory when the couple in question got married. Even more would give up when they announced they had a baby on the way. But I'm not most people, which is why I'm still obsessed with the allegations that Danielle and Kevin Jonas are totally phoning it in.
My theories are supported by Blind Gossip, which says that Danielle isn't actually pregnant, but is hiding it with fake pregnant bellies purchased online until their adoption can theoretically come through. It's a far-fetched rumor, but one that I happen to believe because sometimes I think Danielle messes up and wears the wrong belly.
You guys always yell at me when I write stories like this, and I'm sure today will be no different, but before you tell me I'm a raving lunatic, please do me a favor and look at the two of them on the cover of Fit Pregnancy. If you mean to tell me that those are the awkward prom poses of two people who have not only touched skin to skin before but also share a bed and a life and a future child, then I have some thinking to do.
But even if you're okay with the way that Kevin clearly doesn't even know how to touch his wife's pregnant belly, immediately read these quotes he gave the magazine and prepare to eat your words. Here is Kevin describing spending time with Danielle during the pregnancy:
"I wanted to be there for her. Whenever I had a day off, I'd fly home and we'd just lay in bed together."
Yup, mmmhmmm, that sounds like the rest of your marriage to me. 'Sex is when you lie silently beside each other under the covers and try not to let your bodies touch, right? Because in that case, I've had sex loads of times. Enough to create a whole baby and throw a really killer Mary Poppins-themed baby shower for my wife this past weekend!'
MARY POPPINS. I rest my case.

"Same Love," by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, is something groundbreaking. It's a song, a rap song, getting major radio play and winning awards, that explicitly and unambiguously defends and extols same-sex love, while calling out hip-hop's history of homophobia. It even begins with the lyric "when I was in the third grade, I thought I was gay."
The song, first released as a single in the summer of 2012, has enjoyed a surprisingly long shelf life, building momentum in radio airplay throughout this past summer before winning MTV Video Music Awards last week for both "Best Hip-Hop Video" and "Best Video With a Social Message." On those awards, so scandalized by Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke and "twerking," the performance of "Same Love" was an unquestioned highlight:
Get More:
Gay rights and gay pride anthems are nothing new; Lady Gaga's "Born this Way" was so clearly meant to be one that Ms. Gaga was criticized for pandering. Older songs like "I'm Coming Out" and "YMCA" were as well, though the times dictated some ambiguity. But "Same Love" is unique"- it's lyrics speak frankly and truthfully about the subject, and it's a good enough song that's not overly preachy.
But now there's some backlash against "Same Love." By homophobes? The opposite, actually.
An openly gay rapper named Le1f, took to Twitter last week to rip Macklemore, while also accusing Macklemore and Lewis of ripping off a song of his for their earlier hit "Thrift Shop," the tweets have been deleted, but according to various media reporters, Le1f accused Macklemore of profiting off of the plight of the gay community.
Another essay last month, in the Village Voice, by Jay Stephens, while praising the song's "good intentions," accused Macklemore of "failing to take into account the socio-historical climate he is attempting to address."
I can understand these arguments- and "Thrift Shop" is somewhat similar to Le1f's song, though not egregiously so- but I disagree with them. That's because I'm generally uncomfortable with the notion that an artist "can't" or "has no business" making a certain statement, or recording a certain type of song. As for the idea that white performers don't have any business performing rap? I kind of thought that became a moot point around the time "Licensed to Ill" was released.
Would the song be more effective coming from an openly LGBT performer? Perhaps it would. But then it would be a different song told from a different voice. And it's not an either/or. Nobody ever said there could only be one hip-hop gay rights anthem. There's more than one way to argue for LGBT equality, and more than one way to write a rap song. I hope there are many more songs like it, performed by many artists of many genres, races and sexual orientations.
Whether or not Macklemore is himself gay has been a matter of some conjecture in the media, although if the lyrics of "Same Love" can be taken at face value, he is not, and he referred to a female fiance in a recent appearance on Chelsea Lately. It's also worth noting that Mary Lambert, the singer who perform's the song's first-person hook- "I can't change/even if I tried/even if I wanted to"- is openly gay.
But regardless of the the singer's orientation, isn't releasing a popular pro-gay anthem preferable to, you know, not releasing a popular pro-gay anthem? Or, for that matter, releasing an anti-gay anthem?
It just shows how much the culture has changed, for the better, in a relatively short period of time. Barely ten years ago, another white rapper, Eminem, included violent, anti-gay lyrics on a couple of his songs, and having done so failed in any way to derail his path to the top of the music world. It's hard to imagine, in 2013, a performer including the phrase "hate gays? the answer's yes," and not becoming a cultural pariah.
With so much cynicism being directed at music these days, both economically and artistically, from Miley on down, what Macklemore is doing, with "Same Love" especially, is legitimately refreshing. Both musically and politically, I'm glad it exists.

Early Pregnancy Signs and Symptoms Answer A24067
Welcome to ehealthforum,
Lighter and shorter periods, abdominal cramps could be suggestive of possibility of pregnancy especially if you have been sexually active after last normal periods (and if you are not on any other form of birth control measure). Wait and watch for your next periods. Look out for development of any new symptoms suggestive of early pregnancy. If pregnancy is suspected, you should consider getting a serum/blood HCG test done to confirm/rule out pregnancy accurately. Take adequate rest. Drink plenty of water. Maintain healthy diet.
Take care.

This week, both President Obama and the Senate announced frameworks for comprehensive immigration reform. The following is a comparison of key elements in each of the plans.
Path to Citizenship
Similarities: Neither plan permits a direct route to citizenship. A foreign national must first become a permanent resident with a "green card," and then wait, usually for three to five years more, before being eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship.
Differences: The Senate would create a commission of lawmakers and border-state leaders to assess when border-security measures have become effective. Until then, the path would be closed. However, before then, undocumented immigrants could remain in the United States lawfully by registering, passing background checks, being able to speak English, and paying back taxes and fines for their probationary legal status.
The Obama plan does not establish any border-assessment commission. It offers provisional legal status and a green card under similar terms as the Senate: registration, background checks, speaking English, and payment of fees and penalties. Immigrants on provisional legal status would not be eligible for welfare or other federal benefits. They would need to get in line for permanent residency and earned citizenship behind others already in the system.
Investors and Highly Skilled Immigrants
Similarities: Both plans would award green cards to immigrants who obtain advance degrees in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) from U.S. universities.
Differences: The Obama plan would create a new category for highly skilled foreign workers in federal science and technology labs. The Obama plan would create a start-up visa category for job-creating entrepreneurs, and it would expand visa opportunities for those who invest in the United States.
Agricultural Workers
Similarities: Both plans would permit farm workers in the country without proper documentation to have a path to citizenship.
Differences: The Senate plan also would create an agricultural worker program and allow employers to hire immigrants if they can demonstrate that American workers aren't available.
Same-Sex Couples
Differences: The Obama plan would allow U.S. citizens and permanent residents to sponsor a same-sex partner for permanent resident status and temporary visas.
Employment Verification
Similarities: Both plans would mandate tha employers use electronic employment verification, such as E-Verify, for prospective workers – U.S. and foreign citizens alike – to demonstrate legal status and identity.
Differences: The Obama plan would have exemptions for some small businesses. It also would create a fraud-resistant social security card and non-forgeable documents for those without social security cards.

Coaldale man, granted new trial, instead enters guilty plea
Karl A. Otto, 78, of 247 E. Moser Ave., Coaldale, who was found guilty in March 2009 of of charges of having involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with person under 16, indecent assault and indecent exposure, which was granted a new trial by President Judge William E. Baldwin because of "inefficient assistance of his counsel at the trial." However, Otto has now entered a guilty plea to two counts of indecent assault and one count of endangering welfare of childlren.
The plea was entered before Judge John E. Domalakes in Schuylkill County court who deferred sentencing to a later date and ordered the defendant to submit to an evaluation through the state's sexual offenders assessment board. The sentence is delayed pending the evaluation. The charges of rape of a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and indecent exposure were nol prossed.
Otto was released on bail on his own recognizance and during the period he is out on bail must have no contact with the victim or the victim's family or any other minor child. Coaldale Police Chief Timothy Delaney is the prosecuting officer.

A dozen years on, and still funny. I was brought back by the fact that the actual head of Square Enix is actually a villain in FFXV. Had to let the people know that you wacky Brits had scooped him, and by a wide margin. Between that and the Metal Gear Solid V and Devil May Cry 4 references in Decline 1, it's actually kind of eerie how close to accurate you were. Hope you're enjoying yourselves, whatever it is you're doing now.

It feels sad to see that videogamedc shirt now that Randy Solem has passed away. It was cool to see that Perfect Kirby 4 poster in the background. It still hasn't come out yet. I'm drooling because Joanna is seriously the most beautiful character ever drawn. I didn't notice the author's commentary at first. It was like riffing on your own work!
I love how you included a plot with this. I imagine people would be made if you made fun of your games like that. This is seriously another great installment. It's unique from the first one. The animation is also still quite good.
