1) sewing took over my life for a little bit
2) work - oh-my-gosh - working towards a promotion is HARD ya'll
3) I went to Canada for a month
4) I joined the gym, because knitting/crocheting/sewing and work is making me a little...soft
Those are three pretty solid things, at least I like to think. And I mean really - it is HARD to balance work (and the commute), plus gym, plus sleeping like a normal person, and then adding in knitting and sewing! (Also, OITNB, I need a binge)!
I think in one of my very first blog posts I said something about things I'll never make are underwear, tights, and jeans.
I made some Ginger Jeans though. Yea I did! Can I get a little Whoop!!!
These are ah-maz-ing. If the blogosphere hasn't said it enough, let this little fact sink in - I made these, and then I wore them on an airplane, for a 8.5 hour flight. On an airplane folks. Normally airplanes are sweatpant/pj territory, but I wore the old Gingers.
Also - I am so damn proud of them, I wore them in the family photo session I had in Canada with my family!
|Tamminga Family - Veroni Photography
Can I just say that if you are in the Calgary/Cochrane area, you 1,000% need to check out Veroni Photography. I kid you not. She is amazing. I know my sister-in-law, brother, and their children are normally adorable/super cute - but her photographs are amaze.
I guess those are the final version of the jeans.
These jeans were actually loads of fun to make as well. It took a bit of basting, lots of thread changing (as I'm one of the people that have only 1 machine).
|Basted on - fitting pretty good!
|Sewing Progress
|All Finished!
So - what's on my plate now?
So many things
1) still knitting away at my stripped jumper
2) started knitting a new cropped short sleeved jumper
3) started knitting a NEW also cropped short sleeved wrap jumper (for the outfit-a-long)
4) started tracing out a new pattern
5) ordered fabric and pattern for the outfit-a-long
Gosh. Too many things. I need to sit down and finish some items!

Pros - Superb handling, well built, fast, good fuel economy. Superior build quality and safety features.
Cons Very little. Rear space limited.
The smallest and most affordable vehicle in the BMW range has proved a huge hit since its launch in 2004. This 5-door hatchback replaced the 3 Series compact range. During its first full year on the market in 2005 the BMW 1 Series became one of BMWs most successful cars with 149,493 units sold. BMW launched the 1 Series as the only rear wheel drive in its class. By 2006 BMW sold 22,033 1 Series in the UK, 19 per cent of all BMW sales. A compact model, it was powered by both gas and diesel four and six cylinder engines. A three-door hatchback model was added in 2007 and along with revised 5 door versions a coupe and coupe convertible variant are also being planned.
The revised five-door BMW 1 Series went on sale in March 2007 with the three-door following in May. It features the same class-leading dynamics as before but with increased performance, improved economy and emissions solutions, powered by engines offering increases in output by up to 20hp. Emissions have been cut by up to 21 per cent and fuel consumption by up to 24 per cent. These technologies are showcased in the record breaking 118d, BMWs most economical car ever with an impressive 60.1mpg, and they are included on nearly all of the 1 Series range from April, 2007. The redesign includes refreshed interior and exterior styling featuring a larger kidney grille for improved airflow to the engine. The lower front spoiler has also been re-profiled to create a larger air intake. While the spoiler protrudes further it also creates a more pronounced, sporting look. At the rear a restyled bumper gives the impression of a wider, lower more sturdy car, while the rear lamps have also been redesigned to accentuate width.
Auto Start-Stop - the system automatically switches the engine off when the vehicle is stationary.
Electric Power Steering.
Air-conditioning power supply and various ancillary devices disconnect from the drivetrain when not in use.
High-precision direct injection petrol engines enhancing the engines efficiency and significantly reducing fuel consumption.
Standard six-speed manual gearbox with automatic optional.
Integrated torsion damper that reduces energy losses and ensures even shorter reaction and gearshift times.
Steering wheel mounted paddle shift to activate the changes.
Near perfect 50:50 weight distribution and its unique front-engine, rear-wheel drive arrangement.
Advanced suspension set up using an all-aluminium front axle and lightweight steel five-link rear suspension.
(DSC) brakes as standard. Combines ABS and Automatic Stability Control and includes Cornering Brake Control. DSC prevents the car from over steering or under steering, simply by reducing engine power or applying the brakes specifically on individual wheels as required.
The BMW 1 Series has been awarded five stars in the Euro NCAP crash test. Protection comes from the extremely stiff structure, crumple zones and energy absorbing materials. Six airbags with the front two being intelligent dual stage airbags. For childrens safety, ISOFIX child seats are standard on the two outer seats in the rear and the front seat. The front passenger airbag can be deactivated as required.
These turn the main headlight beam in the same direction as the steering wheel for optimum illumination on winding roads. This function is provided by a special mechanism moving the bi-Xenon modules in accordance with the cars steering angle, lateral acceleration and road speed.
In addition to this the BMW 1 Series also comes as standard with Cornering Lights function. Following the same principle as the Adaptive Headlights this function is activated at speeds up to 25 mph and uses the foglights to turn to their extreme position facing left or right depending on steering input to illuminate kerb edges and side turnings.

Rep. Kelly Issues Statement on September Jobs Number
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mike Kelly (PA-03) issued the following statement on the September job report released this morning:
"The American Dream used to be about working hard to get ahead, not working hard to get by, if you're lucky enough to get work at all.
"For the nearly 23 million Americans who are either out of work, underemployed, or have given up looking for work altogether, September's job numbers deliver another devastating blow. We remain stuck in the longest period of sustained high unemployment since the Great Depression, and the fact that we added 114,000 jobs in September simply doesn't cut it. What's worse is that today's report showed that the number of people with part-time jobs who wanted full-time work rose to 8.6 million, which, along with the millions of Americans who've dropped out of the workforce, puts the real unemployment rate above 14 percent.
"We can no longer accept the status quo. We can't sit back and say that unemployment around or above 8 percent, which has been the case for nearly four years, is the new normal. We can't accept that we now have to spend nearly $4 for a gallon of gas every time we fill up our tank, even though this is double what we spent just four years ago. We can't settle for an America in which nearly 1 in 6 people lives in poverty, or with 1 in 7 dependent on the government for food.
"Before our eyes, the Land of Opportunity is being transformed into the Land of Mediocrity, with economic policies replacing American exceptionalism with statism.
"Our challenge is to resist complacency and restore confidence in our ability and potential, and to roundly reject the notion that a 14 percent real unemployment rate is anything but disastrous for Americans and the American Dream."

MIMO Test
A challenging antenna technology, MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) is improving spectral efficiency (bit/sec/Hz), signal quality and cell coverage. MIMO is being used in multiple technologies including LTE-Advanced, WLAN and now being heavily investigated for new 5G technologies. Being a complex technology and an evolving standard for multiple technologies, MIMO provides hidden roadblocks and requires its own suite of measurements. Keysight's solutions are ready to enable deeper insights, especially as the standard evolves. In design and test, Keysight's solutions support innovation across new and existing technologies and allows engineers to transform ideas into reality.

Pia calls up Jai and tells him that she is committing suicide. Jai rushes to stop her. Bani follows the kidnapper and reaches an unidentified place. Bani informs Jai about the kidnapper and calls him at the spot. Jai reaches there and asks Bani to call the police. But when the police arrive Jai is seen with a gun in his hands while the dead body of the kidnapper is lying beside. Jai safely hands the baby to Bani but he gets arrested by the police. Tarun and Aditya assure Jai that they will get him out of the jail soon. Jigyasa tries to create rifts between Rashi and Ranvir. Barnali's lawyer assures her that Jai will not come out clean of the murder case. Pia comes to know that Jai has been arrested and decides to go to the court.
Set in Mt.Abu, this saga revolves round the relationship between a father Nishikant Dixit (Manoj Joshi) with his three daughters Bani (Prachi Desai), Piya (Roshni Chopra) & Rano (Arunima Sharma). Nishikant is a broken man following his wife's death & hits the bottle hard sinking into debts mainly from Mohan Khandelwal (Kamal Sadanah). Bani, assumes control by taking up a job at a hotel discontinuing her studies. Nishikant passes away deeply in debt but leaves a letter behind for Bani where he asks her to contact Jai Walia (Ram Kapoor) based in Mumbai for help. Left with no choice, all three sisters venture forth to Mumbai.
Jai Walia is a well-known industrialist heading The Walia Group & he not only puts them up at his Outhouse but also provides a job to Bani as a waitress in his hotel. Bani befriends Pushkar (Naman Shaw). With the passage of time, Bani develops a soft corner for Pushkar that catches Jai's girl-friend Sonali's (Amita Chanderkar) eye but he falls head over heels in love with Piya instead. Jai, unaware of her affair with Pushkar, proposes marriage to her at a public ceremony stunning Sonali & everybody! Piya accepts Jai's hand gleefully for she is blinded by the power of money. Even earlier, when Mohan had proposed to Bani, she had accepted his offer that was turned down by Bani simply because he is wealthy.
But all the same she chickens out & elopes with Pushkar on the day of their marriage! Jigyasa (Ashwini Kalsekar) fools Bani in stepping into Piya's place but once Jai discovers he is marrying Bani instead of Piya, he feels humiliated & targets Bani for torture while searching high & low for Piya & her lover little knowing it is Pushkar, an orphan he brought up. Will Bani be able to withstand Jai's onslaught? Or does Jai succeed in taking his revenge on Piya & Pushkar?

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat - First Reviews
Here are the first three English S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat reviews we've seen.
Calling it STALKER: Unbroken, Eurogamer awards an 8/10. A bit on the upgrade elements:
The RPG elements gel extremely well, the branching and exclusive paths of upgrades allowing you to modify kit according to your play style. Decent equipment is available much earlier, too - there's no more wandering around for hours with a sawed-off and a trenchcoat. By the end of the game you'll likely be rocking a pretty serious armoured exoskeleton and assault rifle combo, with sniper-weapons and piles of healing equipment in your pack.
Resolution Magazine also goes for 8/10, though the text sounds more effusive:
This is a marked improvement over Clear Sky. Call of Pripyat takes the best ideas of that game, along with those of the original, and focuses its effort on refining those elements, chucking away the rest. Clear Sky's factional alignment system is gone: the Zone is now a place where most stalkers are working together to survive. The PDA markers, which allowed you to track the location of various living entities around the game world, have also been plunged into the rubbish bin. It's a great deal more stable, too, with no serious bugs to be found (and although Stalker still has its glitchy moments - a bandit apparently dancing a merry jig on the spot was my personal favourite - these almost add to the surreality of the place as a whole). It's refined, streamlined and tightened.
...and Rock, Paper, Shotgun is a little more critical but still very positive overall:
To sum up, I know it's basically meaningless for me to recommend this to people who have played the previous games, because most of them will just buy it anyway. But the recommendation is there to all of you. You should play this. Yes, it is simply more of the same survival FPS we've seen twice before, with new and interesting bugs (such as a broken cut-scene in which I found myself hunched over the corpse I had been examining) but this time it feels freer, and more relaxed. It's been executed imaginatively and competently, and delivers genuine surprises. The rough edges remain, and still they do nothing to diminish its charm. Call Of Pripyat is a vital excursion to the zone and probably the most interesting shooter we're going to see on the PC in 2010.

If that still doesn't work reset the ID on the RX. That should be a slow flash - takes 1second to go on then off.
Then try again, RX on first then TX.
If it doesn't bind then you have got a duff one.
Normally you have ~10secs to power the RX after switching on the TX but the RX waits in search mode until it gets a signal which is why we do it in reverse order when checking...
I got a couple (4?) packs through mine today and realised I'm a bit out of practice with this one. It was a bit windy, the light was bad (7:15am) and my fingers were cold but other than that I had good steady flights. I decided to hold off of flipping her today. I have no doubt she'd have made it but I wasn't feeling awake enough today or maybe emotionally capable of sustaining another wreck!!
The upside of being a chicken (or showing post 40s maturity) is that she's ready to go again next weekend and given the scarcity of postmen over the next few weeks that's got to count for something!!
Also flew my TRI with bigger props and didn't crash that either...
Told you I wasn't trying...!
I managed to fly a lot of flights on both 450s this weekend. I crashed the white one. Lost orientation and splat! The only damage was the blue Align blades and the main gear. I broke one landing skid leg. CA'ed that thing back together and the heli is ready to fly again once i get some more blades. I think i'm going to stick with the very cheap FRP blades again for a while. They are a little less responsive than the CF but they still fly nice and are cheap as hell in a crash. If you consider $16 for the Align ones i just destroyed and only $3.50 for the FRP ones. I actually only would have had to pay $7 to repair my 450 this time if i had the FRP blades on. It's only about $2-3 for a single align main gear and thats all. I might have bent the main shaft too, but i fix those and reuse them. So The V450 is definitely a cheap bird to fix and maintain if you do it the right way. The "new" V450D01 looks like with the KDS servos it should end up being pretty stable too. I trust the two guys using them, they have to be better than walkera's 450 servos, no matter what.
Anyway, i didn't order a Spektrum remote receiver for my new BeastX and now i can't afford too But i went ahead and ordered the new Turnigy 4x6S Charger.
This charger is the same as the one i already have except it's capable of 400W instead of the 200W my charger is. So it's a 100w x 4 channel charger. I was having trouble with my 6S packs so with this i should be able to charge 4A on the 6S packs 4 at a time and i'll have a whole second charger freed up to charge my 2S and 3S packs. My charging rig is going to need expanding. It will probably get a upgrade now too. The funny thing is my 400W converted PSU is maxed out pretty good right now. I'll need a second PSU. But i found some 600w computer PSUs for about $30 that will push 40-45A on the 12V rail. I think that will be enough for now. So i am now officially tapped. But hopefully charging my 6S packs at 1C instead of 0.5C will allow me to field charge fast enough now to save me some major cash on pack stock piles.
So i'll be using the 2801-pro with the uBeast i just ordered. At least until i can order a spektrum SX or find a way to get the guy at the LHS to trade me a telemetry module for some store credit. Something like that. OH, crap. I also just realized that i don't have the uBeast RX patch cords with the one i bought... What a pain. I guess i can make some up out of old burned out Walkera servo wires

Anyway, i went to the field today. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! Crappy high winds from a direction i didn't like and complete haze overcast! Absolutely disgusting looking day. Just gray and just enough light to piss you off. The 4f200 crashed again. Immediately after fixing it AGAIN! It was flying fine then all of a sudden the motor started revving and while doing a roll. I think the stock motor is shot out now. I'll have to install the turbo ace 352 again. 4f200 took a dirt nap as did both my V120s, as is the normal. These helicopters just don't like to stay in the air for me. I push too hard for what they are capable of and without PERFECT pitch control, and not overthrowing and over correcting your pitch. These helicopters are just not capable of stable 3D. I'm just glad i have the V450d01 sorted now. Speaking of which. When i arrived home from the field my new uBeast was waiting at my door step. How's that for fast holiday shipping? Ordered it on friday, he shipped it sat. And i received it today.
Oh well, i guess i'm off to solder some new patch cords for the beastX to the 2801-pro.

Another update to the build log and some video with the new BeastX gyro installed. Below the link i will cut and paste my first thoughts and the videos from the link.
BeastX phase 1, Part 2 - Flight Test & Review
Okay, so my initial flight impressions of the BeastX on the V450.... IT'S AWESOME! It is actually more stable than the 2702V. However, i will say that the 2702V is actually not bad for the basics and general hover stability. But the BeastX is actually much better. It handles pirouettes and reverse flight much better. When the wind did blow i could feel a much quicker and harder response from the BeastX gyros. Just holding the heli in my hand and tipping the heli, even the slightest movement registered. Where as with the 2702 in the winds, or my hand, the gyros were not the fastest to respond and also the amount they resisted was probably not as much, or as sensitive as these are. Anyway, i expect the gyro to really show a difference when the wind is a little stronger, i hope at least. So here are 3 of the first 5 flights. Unfortunately it's been very cloudy and almost no sun. Also the wind has been on and off and from all different directions. The day i did the first 5 flights it was not very windy. Just a light breeze here and there.
V450BX - BeastX = better pirouettes
V450BX - BeastX Piros & reverse flight! and tick tocks
V450BX - More 3D and some reverse flight!

What will the Mets beat writers do? This is not what they envisioned; they were all giddy with the awful start of the season so they could use their best material, the team is broke, the team can't hit, the starting pitching stinks, how could Sandy Alderson think he could rebuild a bullpen with cheap knocks offs, and what's with this manager ? All this positivity in the clubhouse, going to each player during the early season losing and giving encouragement, doesn't he know he's the manager of the Mets?
I'm sure the beat men will find a way to get an ownership story or a slow ticket sale story in there some way today because why should we Mets fans have joy? Why should we think that this six game winning streak and the way they came back has put a jump in our step today, and have folks who know of our devotion to the Blue and Orange greet us with "I know your enjoying this" . YES, yes I am and so are all Mets fans, even Daniel Murphy, who is the quintessential Met (on offense the fans yell, " YEAH MURPH", on defense the yell "AW SHIT MURPH") is getting tipsy with the success calling out 100 wins as the goal for the Mets. As I say, I love Murph like he's a cousin, but let's not get crazy, I love the enthusiasm but YIKES!!!
What more can be said about visually challenged umpire Marvin Hudson' and the horrific crime he committed against the Mets and Jose Reyes. After my initial outrage and my simple response to this Tweet from David Lennon, I noticed from the many replays that not only was Reyes safe and his hand never left the bag but the way Reyes flipped out by tossing his helmet didn't get him thrown out of the game, nor did Chip Hale who was Rodman-esque in his box out of Reyes but still got in position to scream in Hudson's face didn't get tossed and neither did Terry Collins who got in Hudson's grill and bumped him when he ran to argue. Add in that none of the other shitheads in blue came to Hudson's defense, solidifies this major fuck up by Hudson.
One thing about the call, it woke up the club. Up to that point, this was a pedestrian contest that feature a close to one hour rain delay, and a sparse crowd that was made up of mainly Mets fans (on TV replays the whole lower bowl of Nationals Park seemed to be all Mets fans) and Bob Ross R.A. Dickey painting away with just a few happy accidents. Then came "The Call" and then Danny Boy Murphy clocking a home run that had Gary Cohen make one of his classic "IT'S OUTTTTTTTAAAAAA HHHEEEEEEREEEEEEE" calls to tie the game.
I know, I know Murph was a spectator on the "double" by Adam LaRoche (something I preach with my kids, no spectators on the field know where to should be on every play) but the ball was in Bay's glove and popped out but what gets lost in the inning is the passed ball by Thole that advanced pinch runner Brian Bixler to third allowing him to score the go ahead run on Wilson Ramos Sac Fly. Enough blame to spread around.
I despise the Black jersey's but I love the wins and if I have to put up the sight of dreaded black to keep this winning streak going then so be it, let the Mets be the Princes of Darkness.
When Roger McDowell was a Met he was one big goof ball. With all the crap that swirled around with the team you never heard anything negative about McDowell . Now there is an allegation of McDowell making homophobic slurs and telling a man and his family "that kids don't belong at the fuckin' ballpark". If the allegations are true and I say IF and can be proven then the Braves will have to take some sort of disciplinary actions against McDowell. What I find unseemly about this is the alleged victim looks like he's looking for a payday. As soon as you hire Systerest to the Stars, Gloria Alldred you lose me as an ally. If Mr. Quinn went to the media with this, he'd have more creditability with me. McDowell has apologized for his actions but that won't be enough for the Quinn's, but I'm sure the apology with a nice six figured check would suffice. Everyone is a victim until the check clears.
Dodgers owner for now, Frank McCourt , was in the NYC to meet with officials of MLB about the fate of the Hollywood Bums. After the meeting, McCourt was seen strolling along Prospect Park West in Brooklyn checking doorbells for anyone named Ebbits or McKeever.

I'm 34 weeks today! I can't believe how quickly time is flying by! Knowing that he could make his grand appearance possibly between 3-8 weeks is insane but totally awesome!
I can't wait to meet him!
Anyways...for my MW appt yesterday...all is fine, urine fine, no edema, good low BP....and baby is still breech, which I pretty much thought/knew as a head in your ribs/lungs is very uncomfortable I am sooo breathless all the time. But I'm honestly not worried about his position, i know he's in whatever position for a reason, but we are going to try the natural ways- chiropractor, acupuncture, moxibostion, homeopathics and some exercises to encourage him to flip head down, but if none of this works then we will accept the fact he wants/meant to be breech. A bit worried to try an ECV (read about it here and they give drugs and sometimes epidurals to calm you, which scares me a bit, mainly the epidural part, but my MW says the doc at my hopsital is nice and gentle, so may be trying it around 37w)
My MW here will support us in having a home breech birth. She will have a more experienced MW with breech birth come for support as well. So we will be trying/attempting a homebirth whether he's vertex or breech and praying for the best.
We will only be going to the hospital if he comes before 36 weeks or in case of an emergency transport which will most likely be for a c-section. My MW informed me about hospital vaginal breech births- even though they will "let" you have one if you deny the recommended c-section, they will make you lay on your back, legs in stirrups, with meds and forcep the baby out. And to me that doesn't seem safe or comfortable or something I'd want ot experience. Feel as that would be a very traumatic experience for me, much more than a section, that I'm scared of (never had anesthesia or surgery or stitches, hence what scares me about that, but I feel that a section would be much safer than a so called "natural birth" Not sure how a forced forcep birth with meds can be "natural" seems the opposite to me and highly traumatic) thoughts?
I will definitely be attempting to turn him and be trying for our homebirth either way, as I know I can do it whatever happens, just praying for safe and health and to be able to stay home for his birth
So that's my lil update!

Half of the two people living in this house are British.
So you could probably guess that we don't celebrate The Rebellion with overwhelming enthusiasm from all parties for just that reason.
Also because it was a waste of good tea.
But if we did want to, perhaps, acknowledge the actions of dangerous and ill designing men - and women - these diverse wicked and desperate persons arraying themselves in a hostile manner, and the disorderly acts comitted in disturbance of the public peace, we woud do so with this: Elderflower Champagne.
Because really, who doesn't love a little magic making bubbles in your drinkies?
Especially if said drinkies are essentially free?
What could possibly be better than a free drink?
(Except lots of free drinks, of course.)
My starting point was Darina Allen's Elderflower Fizz recipe, which is quite similar to this River Cottage recipe, which is quite a bit less complicated than this version. Also, the complicated version mentions that bottles may explode (or 'detonate messily', as they delicately put it), whereas River Cottage merely says to perhaps think of opening them in the sink, so that's a small comfort.
This drink relies on natural fermentation to make bubbles (bubbles, I say!), and all the necessary yeast comes from the elderflowers themselves. It's a beautifully sweet, floral sparkling beverage, and easily the most magical thing I have ever made.
Water, sugar, lemon, elderflower, vinegar.
These common substances, some mundane, even, all go into the bottle and somehow miraculously transform into a delicious sparkling drink.
So, bubbles, people. Lots of them.
Wait... did I mention the bubbles?
Clearly there's some fermentation going on here. We just watched the River Cottage episode that features Hugh making Elderflower Champagne, and John the Forager thought Hugh's version was about 4 % alcohol after about a month of waiting. Mine really doesn't taste very alcoholic at all, and if forced to guess, I would have ventured maybe 1 to 2 %, at most, but I have no way of measuring. Also, mine is quite young - only 2 weeks. The longer it ages, the more alcoholic it will be, I think.
If this kind of thing concerns you, there are some ways to check. If it makes you feel any better, Ms. Allen feeds it to her children and their little friends.
Elderflower Champagne.
Makes about 8 pints, or 4.6 liters.
You will need enough large, strong bottles to hold all the elderflower champagne. Those pretty ones up top? They don't really work. Well-cleaned screw-top wine bottles work a treat, as do quart-sized mason jars with canning lids screwed on tight. Or plastic soda bottles, which conveniently come in larger sizes. You'll also need a large, non-reactive plastic container, a funnel and a strainer.
1/2 cup well-packed elderflower blossoms from about 10 flowers, forked off
zest and juice from 1 lemon
1 1/4 pound (600 grams) sugar
2 tablespoons white wine or champagne vinegar
Forking off elderflowers: the green stems and branches are mildly toxic, so remove as many as possible. Hold the base of a flower bunch with one hand, and run a fork through it to quickly and efficiently pop off most of the flowers - forking off accomplished.
Mix all of the above ingredients with 8 pints (4.6 liters) of cool water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Cover loosely and let sit for 24 hours.
After 24 hours, the liquid should be bubbling ever so gently - you can hear the tiny popping noises if you put your ear close. If not, leave for another 24 hours.
When effervescing lightly, strain the liquid and transfer to sterilized bottles. Cap tightly and store in a cool place to age for 2 weeks.
Serve chilled and garnish with berries for a colorful glass of fizz.
Use within 3 months, earlier for less alcoholic brews.
Note: I did not have any 'detonations', but I did have some leakage from the swing-top bottles stored on their side. Wine bottles stored on their sides, and mason jars stored upright were both fine. Some websites suggest opening the bottles carefully every once in a while to release the pressure, if necessary.

KURTLEY Beale has been dropped from the Wallabies starting side and Quade Cooper returns at five-eighth but there is still confusion with team management unable to announce their reserves.
Beale's horror night in Sydney last weekend, and apparently other issues, have led to his axing. Beale was last year considered the world's best fullback, a mantle that is now enjoyed by All Blacks rival Israel Dagg.
There was more bad news for the Wallabies later in the day, with hooker Tatafu-Polota Nau pulling out of the starting side. Stephen Moore will start in his place.
Cooper has been given the task of leading the Wallabies to their first win at Eden Park since 1986, and the playmaker himself has bad memories at the ground following last year's World Cup.
Cooper was in no mood to talk today, addressing the media for a total of six seconds
The versatile Adam Ashley-Cooper will take Beale's place at No.15, with Drew Mitchell to start on the wing. Eight of the starting 15 are Waratahs, who lost their final eight games of the Super Rugby season.
Will Genia captains the side while young flanker Michael Hooper gets his first Test start. Ben Alexander has replaced the injured Sekope Kepu at tighthead prop.
Media are expected to be told shortly why the Wallabies still have not managed to settle on a 22-man squad hours before they fly out to Auckland.
The All Blacks won 27-19 last week and victory on Saturday would extend their Bledisloe Cup winning streak to 10 years.
The Wallabies team to play New Zealand in the second Test of The Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup at Eden Park in Auckland on Saturday (kick-off: 7.35pm NZ time, 5.35pm AEST) is:
15. Adam Ashley-Cooper (NSW Waratahs)
14. Drew Mitchell (NSW Waratahs)
13. Rob Horne (NSW Waratahs)
12. Berrick Barnes (NSW Waratahs)
11. Digby Ioane (Queensland Reds)
10. Quade Cooper (Queensland Reds)
9. Will Genia (Queensland Reds, captain)
8. Scott Higginbotham (Queensland Reds)
7. Michael Hooper (Brumbies)
6. Dave Dennis (NSW Waratahs)
5. Nathan Sharpe (Western Force)
4. Sitaleki Timani (NSW Waratahs)
3. Ben Alexander (Brumbies)
2. Stephen Moore (Brumbies)

Central Bank of Turkey reduces FX auctions…
… as I had predicted in Monday's, Hurriyet Daily News column, which also appeared at the blog. I am expecting someone to say, "you are very good"
Joking aside, I am not that good:)- it was pretty clear that the CBT would prefer decreasing FX auctions, or eliminating them altogether, before countering the lira weakness with a rate hike, as some were claiming. Besides, the demand for the auctions was very low for the past couple of days, with the bid-to-cover ratio at a freefall…
…and the lira continuing to depreciate against the USD EUR basket. Speaking of lira depreciation, such a persistently high FX is likely to have an impact on inflation in the coming months.
Another by-product of the decrease in auctions will be the decrease in FX reserves. If this had been early in the year, I would have been worried, as Turkey seemed not to have adequate reserves, at least according to an IMF paper I discussed at a Koc University ERF seminar a couple of months ago. I even hypothesized, in an addendum to my weekly Hurriyet Daily News column on the fate of the unpublished Turkey Staff Report, that IMF' position on reserves could have played a role on the government's attitude towards the Report. But there has been quite a build-up in reserves since then:
The Bank now has a strong hand in that regard, so reserves position should not figure out in the decision to scrap the auctions altogether…

I don't quite understand why the euro isn't plunging right now. Aren't there serious doubts about the future of the euro, including the very real possibility that the euro zone might fall apart? Do people really believe that Greece (or Ireland, Spain, Portugal for that matter) will be just fine a couple of years down the line, after enough pain and suffering, after firing enough government employees, or privatizing enough public assets? BTW, I would be very interested to learn more about this economic theory that the European authorities seem to be laboring under, that suggests that slashing public spending in the middle of a recession leads to economic growth or to a more balanced budget.

I am obviously no euro area expert, but remember that the euro will not be dismantle n the next couple of months. However, ECB has initiated the tightening cycle with Trichet's latest remarks. As for your comment on fiscal contraction, Martin Wolf has an excellent article in today's Financial Times, explaining why austerity alone risks disaster. Very highly recommended!!!

BTW, I just got an email that presents two views on the euro. I pasted the Turkish text below, in case you speak Turkish, or want to have it translated by google or something else, but basically, Citi is thinking along your lines, while Goldman is using my intrest differential argument. And they are pointing to opposite directions for the euro….
Bugünden sonra euro için iyi haberler artık fiyatlara yeterince
yansıdı gibi görünüyor. Avrupa Merkez Bankası Başkanı Jean Claude
Trichet, dünkü açıklamasında ´´güçlü bir şekilde tetikteyiz´´
ifadesini yineledi ve Avrupa borç krizine dair iyimser duruş açıkça
görülüyor. Bu noktadan sonra gelecek aylarda euronun yükseliş için
yeni bir iyi haber bulmakta zorlanacağını düşünüyoruz. Tasarruf
programları ve devlet temerrütlerinden kaçınmak için özel sektörün
katılımı yönündeki olası baskı bölgede borç krizi tamamen sona erene
dek sürecek gibi görünüyor ki nunun için iki ya da daha fazla yıl
Tahminlerimize göre, euro-dolar paritesi, yukarı yönlü trendine devam
edecek. Döngüsel görünümde iyileşme ve ABD faizleri ile diğer ülke
faizleri arasında ayrışmasının yer aldığı senaryoya göre, euro dolara
karşı yükselecek gibi görünüyor. Elbette, risk algılaması ve Avrupa
´daki faiz beklentileri Yunanistan´daki gelişmelere yakından bağlı
olacak ancak bölgedeKİ gerilimin Euro Bölgesi´ndeki döviz temellerinde
gerçekten bir tehdit yaratacağını düşünmüyoruz.

Viruses are tiny germs that can cause mouth sores as well as other illnesses. Some mouth sores are caused by the herpes virus. This is one of the germs that cause cold sores or fever blisters. It is not caused by sexual activity nor related to it. If your doctor has diagnosed your child with mouth sores, there are several important things you should know.
Mouth sores can last from 7 to 10 days. Keep your child home from school or childcare if he has a fever above 100 degrees F. Your child should be free of fever for 24 hours before going back to school.
Most viruses are spread by contact through droplets carried in the air from coughing or sneezing. Contact with saliva from the mouths of others can also spread the virus.
To protect others:
Call your child's doctor if your child:

Disco with dinosaurs on a night at the museum
Pack your pyjamas for history, arts and mayhem
Victorian fire eaters and ancient warriors, visitors in togas and pyjamas will be lurking amid the murder and mayhem in many of Britain's museums on the evenings of the weekend after next. Events might not be quite as bizarre and frightening as those Ben Stiller encounters in Night at the Museum and its sequel, but it will be a close-run thing.
Museums at Night, the after-hours celebration of arts, history and heritage is back, with museums and galleries staying open late — and in some cases overnight — to host 450 activities from May 18 to 20. Stargazing, pop-up art, sleepovers and even taxidermy are among the options, while several galleries will be rocking to a beat as they are transformed into nightclubs.

What percentage of music in your collection is both great music and sounds great? What? Is there a difference? I don't think so! And I'm just a peon in the audiophile and music world.
What percentage of music in your collection is both great music and sounds great?
And now the important question: What percentage of music in your collection is both great music <I>and</I> sounds great?
As I have improved my electronics and particularly my turntable, my software got better. I was amazed 27 years ago when my Linn removed all that and corrected the tone. Still, some of my collection is less than great music.
If one definition of great is that it pulls me in no matter what the mood, then maybe 10% of my collection is great and 25% of that sounds great, too. Other pieces can be revisited when the mood is right and be great for that brief time, the "art" of music appreciation via audio, and the only creativity I bring to the table besides component matching that can be witnessed by others, is selecting the music that fits the moment. Reading that mood is the key to communicating the joy of all this to others.
Would you believe, that two of my best examples of performances that sound great and are great come from the 78 era? EMI's Elgar series conducted by the old boy himself is remarkable for its age, and Bruno Walter's 1938 Mahler 9 likewise. Yes, there are technical limitations, but the performances are terrific and Fred Gaisberg could engineer a could recording with the equipments he had. There is plenty of more modern stuff as well that sounds great and is great.
Out of mabe 700 LPs and CDs, I can think of only a handful of recording that are great music and sound really good, such as Jazz at the Pawn Shop, Eric Bibb, all of the ECM recordings I own. Being a professional cellist and sound enginerr,I find audibly compressed commercial recortdings to be least appealing, although this can also vary. Having said all that, I'm not at all interestied in listening to bad, well-recorded but bad music.
To test for my answer to this question I put on LiLiPUT's 1982 Rough Trade Records album and, sure enough, it took me right back to that too short period in 1981 when this then-young Texas guy was hanging around in West London at Rough Trade, the store and the label headquarters. By golly, if that isn't great music and great sound, then I don't guess I want any. I hadn't thought of those Spandex girls on roller skates in years. You may put that same record on and hear "low" production values and a flat soundstage and I can't argue with what you hear. I might consider your criteria for music and sound to be unfortunately limited to only what you hear. I think I hear to feel.
Modern alternative bands such as Clap your Hands say Yeah are almost recorded so poorly they are unlistenable except on an iPod or junk boom box. Sad, because some of it, such as the Hold Steady is pretty good!
It seems rare when purchased music is great and sounds great. I think somewhat of the same thing is happening with cd's as happened with LPs in the late '70s and early '80s. That is, now that a new format is coming on strong, compressed digital, CD manufactures sometimes release crap quality. Is the CD going to become obsolete to digital compressed format because it is inferior or because manufactures are making them that way? The answer is obvious!
Difficult to say. When I like a track, it sounds great. It seems like I'm unlucky, many of the things I love are poorly recorded from classical to hardcore punk. But when you listen to a piano or a voice and then you hear it recorded on tape even via an ultimate high end gear (an equipment that I generally dislike for obvious reason-it exagerates the faults of standard recordings), it has nothing to do with the live sound, eh ?
Lots of my 3000 CDs sound good, but great only about 20%, if that. The best music is simply recorded with little compression,manipulation etc, if it is recorded well it doesn't need all that,unless you're just producing a product to sell as opposed to first and foremost a work of art.The best example of this is Nirvana's in utero,masterfully recorded by fellow musician Steve Albini and then butchered beyond belief by greedy,moronic record execs and their handmaidens (the "producers")—in its original form, it is probably the best rock album ever; in its officially released form, it is unlistenable.
It's the music that's most important to me, so I'm somewhat forgiving. Maybe 20% of the discs I listen to are great in both regards. As I've upgraded my system that percentage has gone up; great gear can bring out the best in a good recording. Many LPs put out by independent labels when recorded analog on decent equipment, sound amazing. Even though considered by many to be low-fi. Akron, Ohio's Black Keys' "High Fidelity" recordings truly are. From the majors, Neil Young has always been an advocate for excellence in audio. His vinyl releases by Classic Records and Reprise are about as good as you're going to find in the genre. His 2005 200-gram release Prairie Wind is one of my current favorites. Greatest Hits 200 gram w/7" is stunning; I plan on picking up Living With War.

The Esquires were co-founded in the Ottawa Valley region in 1962 by Clint Hierlihy and Gary Comeau having become neighbours again following years together in an Ottawa high school band called The Fairmonts (1959-1961). They played their first show at the Rockcliffe Air Base Teen Club. After several personnel changes through 1962, they joined the Musicians' Union in 1963, and were contracted weekend regulars at the Pineland Dance Pavilion in Ottawa. It was here that they backed up Montreal singer Marty Hill. They also landed a performance backing up Andy Kim on Dick Clark's Caravan Of Stars at Faucher Stadium in Montreal also featuring Gene Pitney, The Dovells, Paul And Paula, and The Tymes.
Several months later, they were introduced to Ottawa Journal columnist Sandy Gardner who contaced Paul White, A & R man for Capitol Records Canada, and recommended he listen to a demo tape of the band.
White was anxious to have a Shadows-styled act on the label and The Esquires were signed by Capitol Records Canada in 1963 -- the first rock act sign to a major label in Canada. Their first single was "Atlantis" in 1963, followed by "The Man From Adano", and their biggest hit "So Many Other Boys" in late 1964 which won them The RPM Award - predecessor of the Juno - for Best Vocal And Instrumental Group in 1964. Over a two year period the band released five singles and an album for Capitol called "Introducing The Esquires" in August 1964 before moving to Columbia Records in 1965.
Sandy Gardiner had kept them busy during this time and landed them prestigious dates with some of the 1960's biggest rock and roll stars such as The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Dave Clark Five and Roy Orbison.
In 1965 Clint Hierlihy left the band to focus on producing The Esquires and other Ottawa-area bands and to complete his education. Richard Patterson brought in old pal Brian Lewicki (the two were in a band originally called the Vibra Tones) to replace Hierlihy on bass. Upon leaving Hierlihy signed the band's name over to vocalist Don Norman. An internal dispute caused Norman to quit and take the name with him. Soon, Lewicki switched to guitar and took Norman's place as vocalist. Eventually, the band took Norman to court and won the rights back to the name. Don Norman was left calling his new act Don Norman & The Other Four.
Gary Comeau and Paul Huot left The Esquires shortly after to join other bands, leaving Richard Patterson to carry on with Ted Gerow, and John Cassidy.
By 1967 even Patterson had left the fold leaving Lewicki, Robert Coulthart (drums), Doug Orr (bass) and Bruce Cockburn (guitar) to carry on to its ultimate demise that year.
A 25th Anniversary reunion occurred in 1987 with Norman, Huot, Hierlihy, Comeau, Patterson, and Lewicki performing at a fund raising event in Ottawa. In 1993 two music clips featuring the band were uncovered - "The Man From Adano" and "Gee Whiz It's You" (featuring original vocalist Bob Harrington). The former is considered the first Canadian music video ever made. The clips were aired on television for the first time on CBC-TV and frequently pop up on MuchMusic. The original footage was donated to the National Archives in Ottawa.
Patterson went on to join Three's A Crowd with Bruce Cockburn, David Wiffen and Colleen Peterson following the Esquires; Coulthart and Orr were stolen away by Peter Jermyn of Luke & The Apostles to form The Modern Rock Quartet; Gerow went on to join The Staccatos which later evolved into Five Man Electrical Band; Only Comeau and Patterson are still active in the music industry.
EMI released The Esquires' only LP on CD in 2000. On August 25, 2005 Norman, Comeaum Huot, Patterson and Hierlihy reunited to celebrate Hierlihy's 60th birthday.
Bob Harrington died in 2005; Richard Patterson died April 3, 2011 after a long illness.

You should be able to locate your results in the SMGF database by
searching on your surname. You will then be able to identify yourself from the
pedigree you submitted.
SMGF have a list showing the conversions for the various markers but
unfortunately Family Genetics are not included on this chart:
I believe Family Genetics upload their customers' results to Y-search. If
you are on Y-search I presume therefore that Family Genetics will have
converted your results to the FTDNA values.
Family Tree DNA have promised to update their database and Y-search in
line with the NIST standards. The upgrade is scheduled early this year as
stated in this interview:
I've not had my mtDNA tested with SMGF but I understand it's quite
difficult to convert the data into a format which makes it comparable with other
companies. The best solution might be to pay the small fee to unlock your
data and add it to SMGF's commercial arm Genetree. I've no experience of
using Genetree and perhaps others can advise.
The best place for searching for mtDNA results is Mitosearch, the public
database sponsored by Family Tree DNA:
You will be able to upload your SMGF results to Mitosearch for comparison
There is a list of mtDNA haplogroup projects and resources on this page:
By the way have you had any communications from Family Genetics in recent
weeks? Their website has been down for the last couple of months, they are
notably absent from the exhibitors' list for "Who do you think you are?
Live", and we rather suspect that they are the latest victim of the recession.
Do you have any idea what is happening to their database and their stored

Album Rating: 2.5This album would be good if the production didn't fuck things up. The riffs are cool, but the drum

all you end up hearing are growls and blastbeats. Even if you're listening closely, everything still
sounds like complete ass.

Album Rating: 4.0The drums sound pretty goo for '92. I love the airy, "loose" tom sound as on "Addicted to Vaginal Skin". It's messy yeah, but I think they made the work. It's messy music.

Two weeks ago and just days before the one year anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden, we were told by the Obama administration that the "war on terror" is over.
"The war on terror is over," one senior State Department official who works on Mideast issues told me. "Now that we have killed most of al Qaida, now that people have come to see legitimate means of expression, people who once might have gone into al Qaida see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism." (In a Tuesday night update to this post, White House spokesman Tommy Vietor clarified that while the "war on terror" concept has been dropped, "we absolutely have never said our war against al Qaida is over. We are prosecuting that war at an unprecedented pace."
Despite this new Obama doctrine, we still saw a sophisticated bomb plot nearly carried out on an airplane close to the anniversary. But nobody was arrested.
And the most up-to-date "underwear" bombs don't have metal in them, which is what those big fancy TSA naked scanners are good for catching right? Not necessarily.
Authorities suspect the new improvised explosive device (IED), which reportedly featured a more easy-to-use detonator, is the handiwork of master al Qaeda bomb-maker Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri. His ability to get Mutallab and the cartridges on airplanes without setting off alarms led to a stepped-up effort to deploy Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) body scanners at U.S. airports.
Former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff said in an email to The Huffington Post that it is "too soon to tell how technically advanced [the] new device is. Imaging will pick up anomalies below clothing but [the U.S. government] has to analyze [the] device before adjusting protocols."

Remember when I turned a dress into a skirt? Also when I made this skirt? And this skirt, too? I have tutorials for all three projects. Two days ago, I combined all three ideas and came up with this:
[Inconsistent colors are brought to you by our crazy tropical monsoon weather.]
This skirt used to be a drop waist dress with puffed sleeves. I got the dress for about $4 at a thrift store. I find myself picking up dotted items from racks at any thrift store; that is how I found this dress. When I saw that the hem had bird prints, I had to buy it. Another reason why it came home with me was I found the vintage-inspired cut adorable. There was something Jessica Day about it.
But when I fit it at home, it looked all sorts of wrong. The top was boxy and the elastic waistline was too low on me. I thought removing the elastic would solve the problem but nope, it still looked odd.
So I decided to make a skirt using the bottom section. I cut a part of the dress 16″ from the bottom:
Cut strips for the waistline using the upper section:
Shirred the waistline using long stitches:
Added zipper to one side seam:
And then attached the bottom to the interfaced waistline:
Because I love the birds so much, I fashioned a waistline tab using some of the scraps:
More photos of the incredibly beautiful print. Aherm, excuse the white chalk. I totally drew on the right side harhar.

Penelope and Javier Play Nice
Penelope and Javier Play Nice
Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem decided to spend their Easter with a romantic getaway in Nice. The beautiful couple went casual and incognito in baseball caps. While these pictures are not as steamy as their tropical vacation ones, we bet there were probably lots of kisses when they were out of the sight of the cameras.

The Friends We Keep
- Jimmy Smith
What does Christianity have to say about how we currently treat animals?
Laura Hobgood-Oster, a religion professor at Southwestern University, addresses this question in her latest book, The Friends We Keep: Unleashing Christianity's Compassion for Animals.
The book focuses on what Hobgood-Oster believes to be the most important contemporary issues involving animals: animals as food, animals in sport, animals as companions, and endangered species.It also places animal-human relationships in the history of Christianity by using biblical texts that help frame the topic and stories about saints who helped animals through the centuries.
"Compassion for animals is an inherent idea in Christianity," Hobgood-Oster says. "We lost it in the 16th and 17th centuries with the rise of humanism, the Enlightenment, the Reformation, and the rise of urbanism."
Hobgood-Oster says she hopes her book will help people rethink their relationship with animals and lead to a better understanding of Christianity, both past and present.
"Can Christianity be a fully engaged, living tradition if it does not consider how the chicken got into the casserole at the potluck supper?" she asks in the introduction to the book.
The book draws on Hobgood-Oster's lifetime of experiences with animals, from her childhood days camping with the wild horses on Assateague Island to her present work with a variety of animal rescue groups.
For example, the book includes numerous pictures and stories about dogs from the Georgetown Animal Shelter and dogs she helped rescue during Hurricane Katrina. Many of the pictures were taken by Jimmy Smith, a kinesiology professor with whom Hobgood-Oster teaches a First-Year Seminar on dogs.
She also writes about the St. Francis Wolf Sanctuary north of Houston, which she visits with students from her Animals and Religion class.
Hobgood-Oster says she wrote the book to get some of her ideas out to a broader audience than she reaches with her academic books. She said the timing of the book is good because the Humane Society currently has a vibrant outreach program to the religious community.
The book includes a resource guide and a discussion guide that she hopes religious groups and animal rescue groups will use to discuss what they can do to advocate on behalf of animals.
The Friends We Keep was released Oct. 1 by Baylor University Press to coincide with the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, who was the patron saint of animals. Even before its official release, the book received a lot of attention from the media. Hobgood-Oster was interviewed by reporters from the United Methodist Reporter, the Religion News Service and the Tampa Tribune.
The Friends We Keep is Hobgood-Oster's second book on this topic. Her first book, Holy Dogs and Asses: Animals in the Christian Tradition, was a historical survey of animals in the Christian tradition. She is now working on a third book that will be devoted to dogs historically and in contemporary culture.
Hobgood-Oster will do local signings of her book on Saturday, Feb. 5, at Book People in Austin (6 p.m.) and Saturday, Feb. 12, at Barnes and Noble in Round Rock (2-4 p.m.).

Ways to Live Forever
Shooting begins in late October of Gustavo Ron's "Ways to Live Forever" adapted from the highly acclaimed children's book by Sally Nicholls. It tells the story of 11 year old Sam played by 14 year old Robbie Kay from Tyneside (represented by Independent Talent) who rose to stardom with a highly acclaimed performance in Fugitive Pieces. His best friend Felix is played by Alex Etel (also of Independent Talent), star of Millions and The Water Horse. Eloise Barnes (Mark Jermin Management), currently appearing as Hannah Reynolds in Eastenders, has been cast as his younger sister Ella.
Sam loves facts. He wants to know about UFOs and horror movies and airships and ghosts and scientists, and how it feels to kiss a girl. And because he has leukaemia he wants to know the facts about dying. Sam needs answers to the questions nobody will answer.
His parents in the film are Ben Chaplin and Natasha McElhone. About a Boy and Harry Potter star Natalia Tena (Curtis Brown), who is now 25 years old, also features.
Filming will take place in Newcastle and Spain.
