I remember this anecdote in a mixed exercise with soldiers and cops. They go to clear a house in training. One guy goes forward and says cover me.
The cops aim their guns at where he is going. The marines shot the crap out of that direction.

Nope, we don't have many basements in Austin, either. I have a wife and 4 year old daughter. They are my responsibility. I will grab our Mossy 12ga and give it to my wife, send her to the "safe room" then grab my AR and follow her, have everyone keep low until everything cools down. Cowardice? not at all. Good sense? I like to think so.

I think the basement thing is just the police department's disclaimer. If you get hit during a firefight they can say "Well, we told him to get in the basement but he chose to sit on his porch with a Budweiser and a shotgun."

My cousins were dumb enough to watch the police gunfight out of their second story window in Jamaica Queens almost 20 years ago. Good thing they were on the second floor because the first wound up with some bullet holes...
Generally bullets do not go through the earth and foundation from the outside. The advice was for the safety of the people nearby and warranted given gunfire was already being heard.

Safer for the good guys, in general
If the police are on their way, and especially if SWAT is on the way, it's safer for everybody if the citizenry stay indoors and behind cover.
It's safer for the citizenry, in case there is a crossfire. Bullets may miss targets or go through light masonry and hit anybody nearby.
It's safer for the police, because they will have less of their attention distracted by trying to figure out if the onlookers or neighbors are BG's, and will be able to focus on the house in question. Then again, it's safer for the neighbors to not run the risk of being mistaken for BG's.
There are some places where police response is likely to take a long time, maybe too long a time. For instance, one of my cousins used to live in an area where anticipated police response was something like 20 minutes (semi-rural, and a small PD). This estimate was provided by one of her local police officers, who advised her to keep a gun at hand (since her then-teenage son was being threatened by local thugs). In such a case, assuming I knew the neighbors (so I know they aren't running a meth lab, or so I can tell resident from home invader, etc), then I might have to consider providing direct assistance. However, I am not trained for house clearing, and have to accept that I could make matters worse, by adding an armed variable to the mix.
If I did feel like something had to be done by me, and now, now, now, I'd make sure to let the 911 dispatcher know that I was going over there, and give them a good description of myself.
In any case, if I had loved ones in my own home, I'd want them in the safest room possible (IE furthest from the action), and probably have them armed with my 12ga and a handgun or two, plus a cell phone.

The dispatcher gave very sound advice. Period.
It's not about cowering in the basment because big brother is coming to put down an insurrection...it is about taking cover versus taking concealment. Those that you decry are public servants, not jack-booted storm troopers.
Whats more, the dispatcher gave you a recommendation, not a direct order. So, it is your perogative to stay topside to watch events unfold, but that decision is not a sound one as far as taking the defensive.
38snapcaps, it sounds to me like like you have some very misplaced indignation to work out.

About 15 years ago, when I was still an active duty LEO, I guess that I "locked down" an entire neighborhood. There had been a gang-related shooting which ended up with 4 gang members dead (Believe it or not, but the incident started at a Baptismal party, when a rival gang tried to "crash" the party!)
There were numerous residents who came out to see what was going on, and since there was the possibility of the shooters still being in the area, I asked whoever I saw to PLEASE go back inside their homes and lock the doors. I didn't direct them to their "basements", nor did I even think of telling them to ARM themselves in their residences. That would have been entirely up to THEM to do! All I did was to try to "sterilize" the area to a certain extent, and to cut down on the number of victims by ASKING the residents to go inside. Later, when none of the shooters had been found, my partner and I made sure to knock on doors and tell the residents that we were going to leave the area. I also explained what had taken place, and was THANKED by many of those residents.
It's sure easy to "bash" the police! Having been a LEO, it often amazes me at how little credit is given to those who have chosen that profession! Instead, the less than 1% who are "rotten apples" get pushed into the limelight as an "example", while the 99% of the GOOD ones get NO notice at all!

i'd go to the basement even if they didn't say so. Bullets can't wonder through sandstone walls. Me with the AR, boy with a shotty, wife with her pistol and thousands of rounds in the basement-- good place to be.

Well, having lived in a "border" area in a major city...
I'd be on the basement steps with a shotgun... If someone's gonna start shooting, I want to be behind something that'll stop rounds...
And remember - more and more departments are buying automatic stuff, up to and including .50BMG... And I'll bet their training budgets don't have the ammo covered for training for proper fire control.

me and mine would get somewhere inside our house. either the basement or one of the second floor rooms and make sure to lock the windows and doors. away from any windows or other areas that i can be seen from. anything unauthorized that enters may be in trouble. 12 ga. in my hands and the g/f would have the .22 semi. with 2 loaded .50 muzzleloaders as backup.

Every once in a while, we'll see a helicopter with searchlight circling the neighborhood, and of course I always call the cops. Police in this area are smart enough to not issue demands, they generally say something to the effect of "Yes, we're looking for somebody. We suggest you stay in your homes til we find him." Not an unreasonable request and certainly not GET INTO YOUR BASEMENT AND LOCK ALL YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS. People are going to do what they want; some will cower, some will dim the lights and keep an eye out, (like me) and of course some boneheads will even go hunting and think they can do a better job than the cops. I'm pretty sure that this is what police are trying to prevent no matter what they say. Ours are generally just a bit more genial than, say, Detroit's.

Sriricha, your sorely mistaken about the untrained citizen thing. Fact is, alot armed citizens practice there marksmanship, if not other tactics a hell of a lot more the most common police do. I know this as a fact becuase, due to my families political nature i know alot of police in the area, and i have asked many of them how often they practice.
Almost 99% of the time the answere was 12hours a year. Thats it. Thats not alot of training, and it dosent take much to figure out that alot of armed citizens practice more then they do.

Well, since nobody in the Houston area has a basement.....
But apart from that, Capt. Charlie's post is spot on. Your house, even if it has brick facing or hardiplank, is not exactly the greatest cover in a firefight. You stand next to a window and watch, you're increasing your chances of catching a stray bullet rather remarkably.

Best practise is call 911 and keep the family safe. Poining a loaded weapon at someone is a no no and you can go to jail and or loose the weapon as the leo confiscate it.
Nephew says to go after them is against the law and he wouldnt do it (Marine). He would get the rest in the basemant and protect the entry points. Keep em out in other words not go after em. Sound advise.

Honestly I don't see the problem with what the 911 person said. Would you rather he/she tell everyone who calls in to "get a high powered rifle, station yourself at a window and shoot anything that looks suspicious"? I don't think so.
This is much ado about nothing at all, IMHO. Or do you just not like strangers telling you what to do? Seems a little juvenile. You can elect to follow the dispatcher's advice, or you can ignore it. There's no need to get all upset about it.

BalletCollective Sneak Peek
It's no secret that affording college is a challenge for many students. And for dancers, there are added complications, like the relative lack of merit scholarships that take artistic talent into consideration and the improbability of a stable salary to pay off loans post-graduation. But no matter your budget, a smart approach to the application process can help you focus less on money and more on your training.
According to Drexel University performing arts department head Miriam Giguere, figuring out the kind of financial assistance a school offers is just as important as navigating what kind of dance program you want. Here's how to incorporate finances into your decision-making process:
When dancers get injured, they often think they should eat less. The thought process goes something like, Since I'm not able to move as much as I usually do, I'm not burning enough calories to justify the portions I'm used to.
But the truth is, scaling back your meals could actually be detrimental to your healing process.
With her fearless demeanor onstage, it's easy to see how Washington Ballet apprentice Sarah Steele attracted the keen eye of former American Ballet Theatre stars Julie Kent and Ethan Stiefel. Promoted mid-season from the studio company by artistic director Kent, Steele was cast by Stiefel as the lead in Frontier, his world premiere for The Washington Ballet, this past spring. For the space-themed piece, Steele donned a black-and-white "space suit" onstage, exhibiting dual qualities of strength and grace. Most evocative about Steele's dancing might be her innate intelligence—she was accepted to Harvard on early admission, and plans to resume her studies there in the future. But first, she'll dance.
Lots of college groups do stepping—a form of body percussion based on slapping, tapping and stomping—but Step Afrika! is the first professional dance company to do it. They are currently at New York City's New Victory Theater, presenting The Migration: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence, a show based on the painting series by Harlem Renaissance artist Jacob Lawrence about The Great Migration of the 1900s, when millions of African Americans fled the Jim Crow South and traveled by train to the North for a better life. The Great Migration transformed the demographics of the country, and Jacob Lawrence's paintings became famous for their bold color and evocative power.
We always figured that stretching made us more flexible by loosening up our muscles and joints. Some of us, ahem, might have even tried to fall asleep in our middle splits to get our stubbornly stiff inner thighs to let go.
But it turns out that might not actually be how stretching works.
A new review published in the Scandinavian Journal of Science & Medicine in Sports suggests that increased flexibility actually comes from your brain growing more used to the tension.
Efficient movement is easy to recognize—we all know when we see a dancer whose every action seems essential and unmannered. Understanding how to create this effect, however, is far more elusive. From a practical perspective, dancing with efficiency helps you to conserve your energy and minimize wear and tear on the body; from an artistic point of view, it allows you to make big impressions out of little moments, and lasting memories for those watching.
So much struggle and determination goes into your training that it can be difficult for early-career dancers to recalibrate their priorities toward simplicity and ease, says Laurel Jenkins, freelance performer and Trisha Brown Dance Company staging artist. "Your aesthetic might shift, and you might have to find new things beautiful." Mastering the art of effortless movement requires a new perspective and a smart strategy—on- and offstage.
As we approach Thanksgiving, there's much to be grateful for. Perhaps one of the most important things on your list is dance. Whether you're a full-time company member, an aspiring professional, an audience member, or you simply delight in dancing in your daydreams, this art form is a creative escape.
That's not to say that being a dancer is easy: Pursuing such a competitive career can be heartbreaking, especially when you're faced with rejection.
La Folía, a short dance film by director Adam Grannick that was recently released online, echoes these sentiments in under 12 minutes.
It took two years of intense nutrition counseling and psychotherapy to pull me out of being anorexic. My problem now is that I've gained too much weight from eating normally. Is there no middle ground? I can't fit into my clothes, but I don't want to go back to being sick.
—Former Anorexic, Weston, CT
Whatever your feelings about Wayne McGregor's heady, hyper-physical choreography, we can all probably agree on one thing: We'd really, really love to pick his brain. And tomorrow, Dance Umbrella, a UK-based dance festival, is giving everyone the chance to do exactly that.
"Women are often presented as soft, fragile little creatures in ballet," says Léonore Baulac. "We're not." The Paris Opéra Ballet's newest female étoile is discussing her unease at some of the 19th-century narratives she portrays. "It was real acting," she says with a laugh of La Sylphide. "James kills her by taking away her wings, yet she tells him not to worry and goes to die elsewhere onstage!"
Sitting in the canteen of the Palais Garnier, Baulac embodies some of ballet's contradictions in the 21st century. With her fair curls and dainty features, she could easily pass for a little girl's fantasy princess. As Juliet, she exuded a girlish ardor that felt entirely natural; her reservations notwithstanding, her Sylphide was committed and carefully Romantic in style.
Yet the 27-year-old is no ingénue. At Garnier that day, her sweater reads "I can't believe I still have to protest this s**t," a feminist slogan; last winter, Baulac proudly wore it over a Kitri tutu on Instagram. And her repertoire is as thoroughly modern as she is offstage. A versatile performer even by Parisian standards, she is equally at home in Nutcracker as she is in the works of Pina Bausch and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.

After a limited launch last month, PlayStation Mobile has been opened up to all interested developers. Game devs can apply for the PlayStation Mobile developer program to get access to the dev kit for a full year for $99. At that point they can publish games on PS Vita as well as PlayStation-certified Android tablets and phones.
Here's what PlayStation Mobile team member Sarah Thomson said on the PlayStation Blog:
We believe we're in a 'golden age' of game development and the Dev Portal lowers the barriers of entry for developers to create and publish titles including games directly to the most diehard and passionate fans in the industry.
Has there ever been a real, dedicated portable gaming system before that opened development up to all applicants? Do you think the PlayStation Network store is going to become flooded with crap like the iTunes store is, or will we truly enter a "golden age" of PlayStation gaming?

GI:Bleszinski believes that early adopters will be always-online anyways, and situations where a connection isn't available will become less common in the future or only comprise an almost-negligible number of edge cases.
**former Epic Games designer Cliff Bleszinski defended the idea of an always-online console as the future of gaming**
this guy has no idea what the hell he's talking about
if he think Always online is good for gaming
US just isn't built for always online. I shouldn't have to move from where I live to just get decent internet service just so I'm not blockade by always online feature. Sadly these so called "edge-case" isn't something that just affect a small few Americans, its something that affect a lot of us.
Personally I don't think there's way to make always online enticing enough or at all to consumers. How does it benefit us?
Sadly I do have agree with about always online is coming. When games like SimCity and Diablo 3 sell at a high rate regardless having a feature like always online, its sending a message to companies.
Sounds like he doesn't understand the issue people have with always online.
The Xbox rumors illustrate it perfectly.
If the next Xbox uses "always online" to create a better experience, but doesn't needlessly force it upon you, that's great. Nobody's going to have a problem with that.
The issue is when "always online" turns into "always online... even when you don't have to be", like some of the rumors suggest.
It's the idea that you wouldn't be able to do anything... play single player, watch a DVD, listen to music, or whatever it may be, without a connection, which obviously isn't a necessity for any of those things. For any of those things, "always on" is nothing more than an artificial roadblock that nobody should have to put up with.
The thought of not being able to simply use features that aren't dependent on a connection is what bothers people. There's no problem with "always on" features that add value, where there is a true need for the connection. The problem, is when that requirement becomes nothing more than an unecessary roadblock and starts lowering the value of a product.
That dope Adam Orth said "Sometimes the electricity goes out. I will not purchase a vacuum cleaner."
A vacuum needs electricity for basic functionality. It's expected, and understandable that it won't work without electricity. There isn't one person dumb enough on this planet to expect a vacuum to work without electricity.
The problem people have, is when Home Depot starts selling brooms that require electricity. Sure, we all have electricity, and the times when we don't have it are just "edge cases", but there's no reason we need to have electricity for a freakin' broom in the first place. If there is no reason for that "edge case" to exist, nobody should have to "deal with it".

You can play the Espionage 9 Arcade Cabinet as many times as you want without the need to buy Espionage 9 tickets. You can earn the rewards if you missed them in Aurora.
Two weeks ago, we started a PlayStation Mobile promotion that offered six free games over six weeks. The first two games were Samurai Beatdown and Beats Slider. This week, we're pleased to announce that the free PlayStation Mobile game is Cubixx. In this fun an addictive game, you have to use your laser to cut away the surfaces of a mysterious cube and free the energy within. Cutting longer lines and crossing multiple cube surfaces gives you bigger combos, but at far greater risk. This is a great old-school, highscore-chasing game with 20 fun filled levels. Ross Brierley, a game tester with Laughing Jackal, had this to say about Cubixx when it launched in October 2012 on PlayStation Moblie .
The Store is jam-packed this week with a pre-order for Crysis 3 and full game releases like Bayonetta and the Hitman HD Trilogy (each game is also sold separately). There's also Air Conflicts: Secret Wars, Everyone Sing and Zone of the Enders HD, and GTA: Vice City joins the PS2 Classics.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile, is now available to download from PlayStation Store for $9.99 as part of the PS2 Classics collection.
That's the original game in digital form, and to complete the nostalgia, we've made the map that was originally packed in the game box available as a hi-res jpeg for you to print out and peruse next time you're lost in Little Havana. We've also got the maps for GTAIII and San Andreas, both of which are already available to download from PS Store.
Ten years have passed since Vice City was originally released on PlayStation 2.
It's been a good month for Platinum Games and SEGA titles. Just a few weeks ago saw the release of Anarchy Reigns on PS3; later today will mark the digital release of one of the finest action games ever created. Bayonetta is coming to PSN!
If you have yet to try this iconic action game from the mind of director Hideki Kamiya, your time has come as Bayonetta is debuting at $19.99. Of course, Bayonetta truly shines when you see it in action. So here's a trip back to the year 2010, when a certain Launch Trailer was just arriving…
Since it was announced for North America, and as new assets and details are rolled out to eager fans worldwide, excitement for Soul Sacrifice has only increased. No other title for PlayStation Vita combines the same frantic real-time combat, thrilling sense of scale, smartly interwoven cooperative multiplayer, or meaningful character customization… Not to mention the contributions of legends of gaming like designer Keiji Inafune or composer Yasunori Mitsuda and Wataru Hokoyama.
For weeks, fans have asked for more info about the game's North American release, wanting a final date and box art, and details about possible pre-order extras. Finally, those questions can be answered!
Soul Sacrifice for PS Vita launches in stores and via PlayStation Network on April 30th, 2013.
Today our latest DLC pack – Home Turf – went live! Home Turf is our sixth DLC and brings with it the biggest addition to DC Universe Online since the launch of the game two years ago – Player Bases. Bases are a player-created and controlled space that can be used as a venue of self-expression in addition to being a place for combat. Perhaps the most important part of your Base is the Mainframe. Through it, players can unlock several new abilities. In a lot of ways it's like having your very own Bat Computer.
The thing you're likely to notice when you first enter your Base is a terminal on the wall next to the front door. This is your Base's Control Panel, and by interacting with this you can relocate or rename your Base, or enter Decoration Mode. Decoration Mode pops you into a first-person camera, allowing you to easily zoom around your Base, placing and moving items and amenities. The latter can include things like an R&D Station, Broker, Mailbox, or Bank. Basically, the things that you otherwise would need to visit a Safehouse or HQ to use – in the convenience of your own home.
The release of Hitman: HD Trilogy today on PS3 and PlayStation Network brings Hitman: Blood Money onto the PlayStation format for the first time. With it come two additional classic Hitman games – Silent Assassin and Contracts.
More than anything else IO Interactive has created in the past decade and a half, Hitman has been the defining series for the studio. Five titles in the franchise have been released in the last 12 years, across most AAA platforms available within the same time period.
The combination of the assassin fantasy, game mechanics and freedom of choice makes the Hitman series the most original set of games we have made at IO. Nobody had ever really seen a game like Hitman before — not even the developers who were about to create it.

They sucker you into thinking that by becoming a member with them, you will get free downloads to various softwares. Well, i did get membership, and tried to download Kaspersky, but in order to use the software, you have to purchase the product key (which is not then "free") and membership does not give any shortcut or advantage . I could get the product directly from Kaspersky then. Also, they charged more than the amount taht was shown on their membership signup page(should have been $36 , but they charge almost twice!!)

text: We just returned from the Dream and wanted to share some information as I know how I looked to this board for information before our cruise! We had a wonderful time on this our second Disney Cruise. I was hoping the ship would be decorated for Christmas but it was not! They were in the process of building the Gingerbread House and it was finished by last night which was nice. We had stateroom 6630 which was great. there were four of us but we actually had room for five with the pulldown bed. The location was good and the noise was minimal - no creaking or noise from other floors. Castaway Cay had alot of brown vegetation and even into the palm trees which was a result of the recent hurricane. The water was of course beautiful and the water temperature was cool but many people were swimming. It was sunny and highs of 79 or so - very comfortable weather. We had the BBQ at Serenity Bay but wished we had gone to the Scutters one as they had much more to offer...baked beans, corn on the cob, etc. The Serenity one lacked in vegetables and were completely out of sweetener for the tea (only had real sugar) The gift ship had the Castaway Cay Tervis Tumblers as we had hoped. One other point I would like to mention - when we were in Nassau, we decided to take a cab to a beach area - we paid $4.00 per person to ride to Cabbage Beach which was on Paradise Island right next to the Atlantis. It was definately worth the trip but the waves were strong and the beach drops off very quickly - not the best choice ofr families with small children. We would do it again in the future though! All in all a wonderful time. Exhausted but we only live 2.5 hours from the port so we are home and relaxing now! Also would like to mention one other point - we chose to stay in Cocoa Beach the night before the cruise becasue my daughter was driving up form Key Largo and I did not want the worries of her getting there on the morning of the cruise. We stayed at the LaQuinta which offered a package with a 40 percent parking discount at the port. We paid $64. for a room for four people which included breakfast. It was only 4 miles from the port. The rooms were very clean and nice. We wouuld def do this again! They also offer a package for around $100. which includes parking at the motel with shuttle service to the port. If we were doing a 7 day, this would probably be beneficial - we just did not want to have to wait or fight for a shuttle this morning. Disney is first class even without small children.

As a young mother, I'm all about parents helping parents. When I have a question about my daughter or parenting in general, my first stop for information is the Internet. The Web offers a plethora of information available — often too much. With this in mind, I avoid just aimlessly Googling my questions. Instead, I often first turn to fellow parents for help via online parenting forums and groups.
As a mommy blogger, I'm keenly aware that I can find answers to my questions on hundreds of blogs and websites, many of them covering very niche topics. When I was thinking about switching to cloth diapers, for example, I investigated the topic by reading a few great cloth diapering blogs. In fact, any time that I have a minor question about parenting, I often find myself heading to my favorite websites in search of answers; other parents' experience and advice is priceless for this young mommy.
Another place I like to turn to find other parents helping parents are online groups. I am a member of a number of forums on the web; some involve specific topics, like cloth diapers, while others cover general parenting questions. If I can't find a satisfactory answer a question by reading parenting blogs, I will often pose my question in an online group. Again, the answers that I get from other parents who have gone through similar experiences is priceless. For example, how would I have known to use dish detergent to get diaper cream off a cloth diaper without the experience of fellow cloth diapering mommies in one of my online parenting groups?
If you're a new parent looking for answers, I highly recommend checking out parenting blogs, websites, and online groups. Advice from another parent who has been there, done that is invaluable!

Planet Class Project:
With your science group you will need to make sure that each person has a job and is responsible for their part of the project. You will be working together in class, but each person will need to show me what they did to help complete their project.
Each planet project will need to include information on the following:
·History of the Planet- Where did its name come from? What did people know about it before today's technology?
·Appearance- What does it look like? What is it made of? Give specific details, don't just say it's red!
·List the Facts- Diameter, Average distance from the Sun, Surface temperature, Length of day, Length of year, Number of Moons
·Missions- Have there been any missions to your planet? How many and when?
·Interesting Information- What other interesting facts did you find out?
·Illustration- Make a hand-drawn and colored illustration of your planet.
You will need to write down the above information in your writing notebook before writing your script for the digital storybook. Remember, you will need to put as much of it in your own words as possible because you will be reading the information aloud.
I will let you use the books I have checked out from the public library here in class, but you will not be able to bring them home to use. You can also bring in other information from home that you have found on the internet.
Group jobs are:
·Historian- You will need to look up the history of the planet and any missions that have taken place there.
·Fact Finder- You will need to look up the facts that are related to the planet and find interesting facts.
·Artistic Eye- You will need to research the appearance of the planet, find pictures for the story, and hand-draw a picture of the planet.
If your group has three people in it, each person will have one job. If your group has two people in it, then the two of you will share the "Artistic Eye" job.
You can reach Mrs. Shelton at firstname.lastname@example.com

As I work on a few longer-term projects, here's a little list of simple handmade gift ideas. These are all sewing unless otherwise stated.
1. Boxer shorts. With a fly-less pattern, these are four pieces of fabric, 8 lines of stitching, elastic inserted and stitched together, and a little more stitching to finish closing the waistband and tack the elastic in place so it won't twist. Jo-Ann regularly has patterns on sale for $2 or less, and although my pattern calls for a yard, to make a size medium, I've found I can get away with 3/4 of a yard of 58″ fabric (provided the pattern is not directional). This means I can buy remnants, so if I get elastic when it's on sale, the shorts are quite inexpensive. Now, I do add some time by stitching the seam allowances flat against the fabric (to help prevent fraying and tickling the wearer), but I save some time by ironing an inch-wide turndown into the waistband and hems, zigzagging the raw edges, and stitching at 3/4″ – instead of ironing an inch-wide turndown followed by a 1/4″ turnunder and stitching right next to the edge. I had to do this once with fabric that refused to turn under by such a small amount, and it's immensely easier and less frustrating.
2. Coasters. I have a tutorial for these, and lots of additional examples: more complicated design, denim, stenciled, and traced. You could also make a square (about 4″x4″) out of a fancy crochet stitch pattern (use cotton yarn for absorption), or make a small motif such as PlanetJune's Love Hearts.
3. Fabric charm. This falls into the "purely decorative" category, but I posted a tutorial for this not too long ago. You wouldn't have to do a heart – if you were congratulating someone, it could be a star; for a housewarming, a little house silhouette; for a baby shower, a teddy bear head. You could also sew a loop of ribbon onto it to make it a hanging ornament.
4. Potholders. These are a bit more time-consuming, as per my tutorial, but don't have to be ridiculous. If you take a solid piece of interesting fabric as the potholder face and whipstitch the final binding edge instead of blanket stitching it, the time is cut greatly. For an easy quilted look, you could cut two triangles of fabric that overlap the center diagonal by a half inch, stitch them to the fleece per the diagram below, then open them out and zigzag the edges.
There are examples of more complicated potholders in this post. Crocheted potholders, as in this post, are probably even quicker, though I personally don't like them as well.
5. Terrycloth bib. I am of the age that over the last 8 years or so, and expected to continue for at least a good 5 more, my friends are all having babies. Being a pragmatic person I started making them terrycloth bibs (soft and absorbant!) with an ordinary bib pattern (as with the boxers, you can easily procure one on sale for $2 or less). You can make these as fancy or plain as you like, and if you have a serger they will be even quicker.
6. Finger puppets. A crochet idea! I have a post with several kinds of finger puppets, including my own design, and also have resized a manta ray to make a finger puppet. Crochet Pattern Central has a whole category of finger puppet patterns. These are extremely quick, and once you have the basic shape you can add all sorts of features. Just secure your yarn ends extra-carefully and use embroidered features – beads are bad if the puppet gets into a baby's hands, and safety eyes stab your finger on the inside.
7. Fabric bag. Finally, you might have a storebought gift that you'd like to present in a more personalized way. I have a general tutorial for a reversible drawstring bag, and one that is specifically for champagne bottles (though it works for ordinary wine bottles as well, or other tall thin items).
What are your favorite quick handmade gifts?

These are the players you want to drop, add or simply hold onto for your fantasy baseball roster.
Every Baltimore Oriole not named Nick Markakis, Ramon Hernandez or Brian Roberts – This team looks atrocious. Millar's best is behind him, and he was never that good, shortstop is a black hole, Mora is mediocre and will get injured soon, forget Adam Jones for now, I don't even like Luke Scott anymore as a deep sleeper. Please, blog, may I have some more?Please, blog, may I have some more?

Sport in brief: Evans moves into Giro D'Italia lead
cycling: Italian Diego Ulissi delighted home fans by winning a dramatic stage eight of the Giro d'Italia but Australian Cadel Evans' fifth place meant he claimed the overall lead.
Ulissi edged out Croatia's Robert Kiserlovski in the closing moments of the 174-kilometre leg from Foligno to Montecopiolo incorporating the category one climb of the Montecopiolo to record his second stage win.
Julian Arredondo, who was in an early breakaway, had a chance to solo to victory but was caught by Frenchman Pierre Rolland in the final moments, only for the Frenchman in turn to be passed in the last 300 metres.
Evans, 2011 Tour de France champion, came home fifth to claim the pink jersey and lead the overall standings by 57.3 seconds from Colombian Rigoberto Uran with Poland's Rafal Majka just over 10 seconds further behind.
Nicolas Roche finished the stage just over six minutes down and is now 21 minutes and 32 seconds behind Evans.

gaelic games: Five second-half points by Conor Kavanagh proved pivotal as Dublin qualified for the semi-finals of the Electric Ireland Leinster MFC after a 0-15 to 0-12 victory over Meath in Parnell Park yesterday.
The Dubs enjoyed a 0-7 to 0-6 interval advantage with Jack Burke kicking three points while Daire Rowe did likewise for Meath.
Dublin were largely dependent on the free-taking of Kavanagh in the second half with a late insurance score by substitute Chris Sallier helping the Dubs prevail.
* * * * *
Laois were never headed as they booked a semi-final place in the Leinster MFC following a 2-7 to 1-8 win over Wexford at Wexford Park yesterday.
Despite playing against the wind the visitors led 1-4 to 0-6 at the break, with Colm Murphy netting their goal
Laois claimed their second goal through Aaron Dowling soon after the restart and although midfielder Niall Hughes netted for Wexford, Laois held firm.
* * * * *
a goal and two points from substitute Michael Kelly in the opening five minutes of extra time helped Kildare book their place in the Leinster MFC semi-final with a 2-17 to 2-13 victory over 14-man Longford at Pearse Park.
Longford had 1-1 on the scoreboard inside the opening two minutes before the game was held up for 18 minutes in the first half after a clash between Longford's Enda Macken and Kildare's Conor Hartely with both players being taken to hospital as a precaution. Longford hit three further points before Kildare took control and 1-7 without reply gave them a four-point lead at the break.
The second half was a tighter affair with Longford enjoying a dominant spell which saw them come back into the game. Kildare went one point in front in the 60th minute but a fine point from Shane Kenny brought the game to extra time.
* * * * *
golf: Pádraig Harrington's consistency at the Byron Nelson Championship continued yesterday as the Dubliner shot a round of 66 to follow his 68 on each of Thursday and Friday.
Lying four shots off the leader Brendon Todd overnight, Harrington hit five birdies in a round where his only blemish was a dropped shot on the par- four third hole.
* * * * *
World No 690 Thomas Pieters shot a third-round 71 to take a two-shot lead into the final round of the Spanish Open after home favourite Miguel Angel Jimenez's charge faltered yesterday.
Scotland's Richie Ramsay, England's Chris Wood and Australian left-hander Richard Green are three shots behind on four under. Paul McGinley leads the Irish challenge on level par after a third consecutive 72.
* * * * *
The European Tour have not gone as far as admitting they were wrong to finish last Sunday's Madeira Islands Open a few hours after the on-course death of caddie Iain McGregor when he suffered a heart attack, but they have apologised for the "hurt and upset'' caused by the decision.
Although an indefinite suspension of play was initially announced, play later resumed, a scenario which was met with outrage from players and caddies alike.
At a meeting at this week's Spanish Open in Barcelona it is understood that George O'Grady was not only hit by a barrage of criticism by the ETCA committee, led by chairman Gerry Byrne, but also by the Dane Thomas Bjorn, chairman of the Tournament Players Committee.
* * * * *
rugby: Saracens powered on in relentless pursuit of a domestic and European double as they booked an Aviva Premiership final appointment with Northampton in two weeks' time.
The 2011 league champions fought back magnificently from a six-point interval deficit to prevail 31-17 over Harlequins as Kelly Brown, Brad Barritt and Chris Ashton scored tries.
Outhalf Owen Farrell chipped in with 16 points as Saracens' underlined a rude state of health ahead of next Saturday's Heineken Cup final showdown against holders Toulon in Cardiff.
Brown and wing Ugo Monye scored Quins' tries – Nick Evans added a penalty and two conversions.
* * * * *
cricket: Eoin Morgan blasted a rapid 77 runs from 43 balls yesterday for Middlesex but his side still lost to Essex by eight wickets in a T20 game at Lords. Mark Pettini hit an unbeaten 95 to chase down the Middlesex total of 180 with seven balls remaining.

Chase Blakley was tempted to commit to Washington during his unofficial visit in June but the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, tight end said he wanted to wait things out longer in his recruitment.
The 2014 prospect still likes the Huskies a lot but he's planning to take some unofficial visits to see games this season and then is putting together a list of programs he'd like to see over the New Year's break.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound prospect said he's planning to attend the Washington-USC game, the Washington State-Washington game and a matchup at Boise State during his junior season.
Article Continues Below
When he has time off from school, a trip to California to tour Stanford, USC, UCLA and possibly some other campuses is being strongly considered.
It looks like the junior tight end is going to take him time with the recruiting process.
"I'm just going to wait until after the season or maybe even after next season to commit," Blakley said. "I'm not sure when I'm going to commit. I'm not really sure yet."
Since Blakley has decided to hold off on a commitment, the focus has now turned to playing well in his junior season to win games and get more exposure.
The 2014 recruit finished with one catch for about 25 yards in Coeur d'Alene's season opener against Nampa (Idaho) Skyview, a 40-36 victory, and he also performed well on the defensive side.
During his unofficial trip to Washington this summer, Blakley said he seriously thought about making an early pledge but wanted to take more time. He's planning to see other schools soon and that could help mold his decision later on.
"It's important for me to get out and see some other places," Blakley said.

BSOD HP EliteBook Wake From Sleep
I've been having a problem with my laptop. I keep getting a BSOD or the screen bugs out like in the picture I attached. Some times it will recover, others it will BSOD, and even wierder it will just shut off shortly after bugging out. If the screen bugs out like that I can sometimes put it to sleep and when it wakes up its fine. I've tried doing a memtest and let it run all night. I didn't see any errors. I've tried reinstalling windows with the same result. I've also noticed it happens when the computer is woken for the first time after its been sitting (cold?). I've also switched hard drives to another known working one.

Just over a year old its just out of warranty, I called them about it before it ended but they were no help. They insisted that it was a problem with windows or a virus. I've reinstalled windows (on a fresh SSD) with a clean disk and haven't restored any of my previous files and it is still doing it.
I've noticed that it comes after logging in. Meaning when I wake the laptop from sleep its fine, as soon as I type in my password and hit enter it bugs out. What boggles my mind is that I swapped in the SSD for the factory drive and it is having the same problems on both.

Does logging continue even after ZA shutdowns (the X comes up with a brown background, in the System tray)?
I was running my ZA last Saturday, was browsing the internet, and sometime b/w 1630-1730, my ZA shutdown with the X sign. Logging stopped at 1705 (per the ZALog.txt file). Would that be the time when the firewall shutdown? Or could it be that the firewall shutdown way before (say, 1630), and ZA continued logging intrusions?
This is important because it would, of course, let me know how long I was unprotected.
A clue: I disconnected as soon as I noticed the X (probably at 1705 as well), and XP had yet to give me the red shield in the system tray that notifies me when the firewall is down.
Please reply only if you are absolutely certain about the conditions for logging to stop; any documentation or evidence would be appreciated. Thanks.

The series is 11-1 in Australia's favour although the last two matches have been very close and the previous NZ win was in Auckland in 1998. Perhaps the Kiwis can turn the upset again on home soil, there has been some controversy with James Tamou being selected by the Roos, as well news of Australia keeping a "file" of supposed Kiwi dirty play is adding to the tensions. Hopefully this will lead to a high intensity game. Here are your lineups. Australian Kangaroos: Starters: Billy Slater, Darius Boyd, Greg Inglis, Justin Hodges, Akuila Uate, Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk, Paul Gallen (vc), Cameron Smith (c), David Shillington, David Taylor, Sam Thaiday, Luke Lewis.

Gritty Grace Potter and the Nocturnals will make a stop in North Charleston on Sept. 28 during the final leg of their "Roar Tour." The band has been touring on and off for around a decade, zigzagging the country and spreading their brand of rock 'n' roll one city at a time. Earlier this year, they swung by the Music Farm and played to a packed house, so it's no surprise that the Holy City made Potter's list again.
Over the course of their career, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals have played with everybody from Dave Matthews to the Avett Brothers, and they'll be joining two rock greats in the coming weeks, Robert Plant and the Allman Brothers. Ms. Potter and crew will also be teaming up with beloved chicken-raising Charleston duo Shovels and Rope and alt-rock wonders City and Colour, to name a few, for a festival in their home state of Vermont.
The soulful rockers are perhaps best know for their hit single, the bluesy and grungy "Paris (Ooh La La)" and their electric guitar- and drumbeat-heavy 2012 album The Lion The Beast The Beat.
Tickets for the Sept. 28 show go on sale Fri. July 19 at 10 a.m. at ticketmaster.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000. Pre-sale tix are already up for grabs. We hear you might be able to get the pre-sale code on Twitter.

Re: [Slovak-World] Slovakia - Second round
Expand Messages
- The NYT had a review of the Slovaks' options in the second round off
presidential elections comingg up this weekend. The article is below.

Past Haunts Future in Slovakia's Election
by Mark Landler, NYT 4/11
For this upwardly mobile Central European country, still in its gawky
adolescence as an independent state, this spring should have been a proud
coming of age.
Slovakia was admitted to NATO this month, after a delay of several years.
On May 1, it will join the European Union, along with Poland, the Czech
Republic, Hungary and six other countries.
But a ghost from its political past has reappeared, casting a pall over
the celebration and reminding Slovaks of the intractable pull of history.
Vladimir Meciar, the autocratic former prime minister who led Slovakia
after its split with the Czech Republic in 1993, has unexpectedly become
the favorite to be the country's next president.
On April 3, he won the first round of an election while the candidate of
the governing party failed to attract enough votes to qualify for a runoff
election on April 17, which sets up Mr. Meciar for a victory.
Mr. Meciar, a hulking former boxer with a charismatic speaking style,
turned his country into a near pariah state in the mid-1990's with his
virulent nationalism and trampling of human rights.
Crony capitalism rotted the economy, driving away foreign investors and
leaving Slovakia impoverished.
"This is a disaster for our country's image," said Grigorij Meseznikov,
the president of the Institute for Public Affairs, an independent research
organization in Bratislava, the capital. "He represents people who are
anticapitalist, isolationist and nostalgic for the past. He's not a
politician of the future."
Monica Benova, a member of Parliament from a leftist populist party,
likens Mr. Meciar, 61, to Kurt Waldheim, the former president of Austria,
whose past as a Nazi officer, and his subsequent amnesia about it,
consigned his country to a political purgatory while he was in office.
"How can we be sure he won't abuse the powers of his office, like he did
the last time?" Ms. Benova asked. "He's trying to sound different, but
it's just a mask. He's still the same person."
Mr. Meciar (pronounced METCH-yahr) won 32.7% of the vote in the first
round. In a surprise attributed to a low voter turnout, the governing
coalition's candidate, Foreign Minister Eduard Kukan, finished third,
narrowly beaten by a former close associate of Mr. Meciar, Ivan
The runoff, commentators here say, is a choice between two evils. Mr.
Meciar declined a request for an interview.
In Slovakia, as in Austria, the presidency is mostly a ceremonial job. The
president can hold up legislation passed by the Parliament, which can
override his veto.
While he appoints ambassadors and senior military officers, he is supposed
to stick to the prime minister's recommendations.
As head of state, however, Mr. Meciar would be a symbol. It is a role he
would no doubt relish, having virtually personified Slovakia's birth as a
In one of history's wrinkles, the current Czech president, Vaclav Klaus,
was the prime minister with whom Mr. Meciar negotiated the Czechoslovakian
Now the two leaders, each known for his bruising manner and deep
skepticism about Europe, may find themselves together on a dais,
celebrating the integration of their sister lands into Europe.
It is unlikely, however, that Mr. Meciar will be invited to the White
House. The United States is inclined to spurn him, said a Western diplomat
here, who spoke anonymously as is standard practice when dealing with such
European leaders may do likewise, although the diplomat predicted that the
European Union would not impose sanctions, as it did on Austria after the
party of the right-wing leader, Jrg Haider, joined its government.
"Brussels recognizes that the sanctions on Austria backfired," the
diplomat said. "The Slovakia of 2004 is also not the Slovakia of the
Still, for a minority of Slovaks who live in the isolated, rural east,
Europe looms as a threat. They fear that Slovakia, overshadowed for
centuries by the more prosperous Czechs, will be swallowed up in a vast
union its 5.4 million people a drop in an ocean of the union's 450
"People are afraid of rising prices, of lower wages, of foreigners coming
in and buying all our property," said Stefan Lukacovic, 54, as he hurried
home through the winding streets of Bratislava's old town.
Mr. Meciar speaks to these disenfranchised people. They vote reliably for
his party, ignoring accusations that he profited from the sale of state
companies, or that he was involved in the kidnapping of the son of a
former Slovak president in 1995, or even that Slovakia was rebuffed in the
first round of NATO expansion because of Western distaste for his rule.
For Mr. Meciar's critics, the only consolation is that his voters tend to
be older, which means they are dying off.
"Some changes are not reversible," Mr. Meseznikov said. "He hasn't
changed, but the country is changing."

The recipe for tightness in US chicken supplies, which has driven whole-bird prices to record highs, will linger, Sanderson Farms said, as it unveiled a doubling in profits, which were boosted by lower feed costs.
The Mississippi-based poultry group, reporting earnings of $50.99m for the February-to-April quarter, up from $24.37m a year before, said that it was "reasonably optimistic" over prospects, given market dynamics heading into the summer, typically the "peak demand period".
"Demand for chicken products is expected to remain strong," said Joe Sanderson, the Sanderson Farms chairman and chief executive.
However, the pipeline of fresh breeder hens, needed to foster a sustained rise in chicken production, remains "constrained".
"It appears the reduced size of the breeder flock will constrain production over the short term despite higher industry returns," Mr Sanderson said, in comments which echo those from rival Pilgrim's Pride.
Already, "market prices for boneless breast meat sold to our food service customers improved through April and May, and market prices for retail grocery store products have also moved higher", he added.
Wholesale chicken prices for whole birds topped 109 cents a pound for the first time this month in the benchmark Georgia dock market, although values of some other cuts, such as jumbo wings, have proved weaker.
Mr Sanderson attributed the market strength in part to "the relatively high prices of competing protein", which, in the retail sector, has "shifted some consumer demand to chicken".
In the food service market too, "relatively high priced beef contributed to improving demand and market prices during the [February-to-April] quarter for products produced at our food service plants".
The comments follow official data last week which showed that the quest for protein, at a time of constrained production of beef and pork too, was eroding US inventories of all three meats.
Pork stocks in US cold stores at the end of April were down 17% year on year, with those of beef falling 21%, and of chicken dropping 15%.
Pork output has been limited by the outbreak of porcine epidemic diahorrea virus (PEDv), fears for which rose this week after an Indiana farm revealed reinfection with the disease, undermining hopes of immunity in herds which have already suffered an outbreak.
Beef production is being constrained by the depletion of the US herd, its smallest since the 1950s, meaning feedlots face a battle for animals against ranchers seeking to rebuild production, with grain prices lower and pasture conditions improved from those in the 2012 drought.
Sanderson Farms, which raised its sales by 6.4% to $660.7m in the latest quarter, also highlighted the role of lower grain prices in supporting profits.
Feed costs were 19.1% lower year on year during the quarter and, while they have moved higher since, they remain below those seen at the same period of 2013.
"We expect grain prices to remain volatile at least until markets get some visibility on the quantity and quality of this year's corn and soybean crops, as tight soy supplies and the lowered corn estimates place a premium on favourable growing conditions this summer," Mr Sanderson added.

Elwood (108) Leesburg, Virginia | November 24, 2012
Stopped by Loudoun County's newest brewery to try things out. As a local it's kind of odd going in there because it used to be a funeral home, but you wouldn't know it looking at the place. Tasteful if sparse decor with a limited menu of sandwiches and snacks at this time. The place was pretty empty but the staff behind the bar were very friendly. The beers were classic examples of the their respective styles and while not overly ambitious, they didn't have any major flaws. Prices were average for the northern Virginia areas. I'm looking forward to see how this place comes along.
HippieFee (73) , | December 26, 2015
When we visited this brewpub we found out it has some new owners. These new owners have redone the beer menu completely and plan to rotate the taps regularly with new styles. I haven't had their beer before the change so I can't compare the new with the old. Small place with plenty of seating for customers. It is an old house so it even has a fireplace near the front of the building you can sit in front of and enjoy a glass. Being winter it was prime real estate. There is a small bar and the beer menu is written right on one of the columns in chalk. Decor is mostly military memorabilia as one of the owners served. It is a brewpub so there is food available. Nothing real fancy but certainly enough to hit the spot if you are hungry while drinking. There is a really good bistro just down the street if you want something more substantial. Visited: December 12th 2015
BeerandBlues2 (1056) Escondido, California | November 19, 2014
Well, I like that this small area of NoVA is seeing a surge in breweries, but this one needs some help. The beer lacked carbonation and the food tasted like it was cooked in a microwave.
Braudog (901) Yorktown, Virginia | December 5, 2013
November 2013. Visited on a Saturday afternoon and were greeted by two gregarious fellows who wanted to give us all the details on every beer and wine they had before we opened our mouths. We finally got around to say we wanted the sampler flight, which was quite generous. The beers displayed a bit of range, from "just OK" to "pretty good." They have a limited menu, but we didn't eat. Quaint little small town brewpub. Brewery #636.
radagast83 (328) Arlington, Virginia | November 30, 2013
Big open area, with brewing area to the right on your way into the place. Lots of grain bags around the place. Aroma of fresh brewed beer. The three beers available were okay, though sadly, not as good as I had hoped. Had at least one other local beer on tap (Optimal Wit). Didn't eat any food, but looked like typical bar food from the looks of the other customers inside.
Travlr (3057) Charlotte , North Carolina | November 24, 2013
This place looks like it used to be someone's house. If you park in the small lot in the back, you enter the back door and pass the brewery portion on the right. Then there's a squat bar on the left, and you can continue through to some tables in what would have been the living room and dining room. The fireplace is very fake, but mesmerizing nonetheless. The beers are drinkable, but that's about it. Only three on offer. Pints only, sadly, but generous free samples.
Drake (832) Milwaukee, Wisconsin | January 3, 2013
Located in a cozy feeling downtown area. I found parking to be a bit of a challenge as their lot is small, and the street isn't really designed for street parking. Big, open space with a long wooden bar. The decor is eclectic and looks haphazard. Bartender was very helpful and friendly. Simple menu with bar food, but I did not eat. Decent prices on beer and food. The travesty that was the marzen aside, the beer is fairly solid. They tend to be a bit off balance, but they show potential. I can't really see going here too often, but it looks like Corcoran is only about 4 miles away, so it might be worth it from time to time.

The line number anchors were added to hscolour in a patch contributed by a third party, which I accepted in good faith. Since I have no need of line number anchors myself, maybe the easiest solution is simply to rollback that patch for the next version of hscolour.

Earthquake aid Shipment organised
As the death toll in the Indian earthquake rises the Hindu community in Cardiff is stepping up the appeal to send aid to the Gujurati region of their birth.
More than Ł30,000 has been raised in the Welsh capital in just three days and a shipment of clothes will be sent to Bhuj later this week.
There are around 500 people from the Bjuj area living in the Grangetown area of the city.
Already three Cardiff families have had news from India that members of their families have perished in the earthquake.
But hundreds more are still waiting for word of their loved ones.
The relief effort has been centred on the Shree Swami Narayan temple in the Grangetown area of Cardiff over the last few days.
An army of helpers has been sorting out hundreds of bags of clothes donated by the community ready to ship out to the Bhuj region.
The temple's secretary Ratna Haran praised the efforts of the Hindu community in Cardiff.
"Everyone has rallied round. The amount of money we have collected is more than Ł30,000."
"It has been a tremendous effort."
The temple's priest or Poojari has already flown out to India to oversee distribution of the funds and to try to find out news of survivors.
Rescue team
But with communications to the Indian state of Gujarat so difficult for hundreds of relatives in Cardiff the only thing they can do is hope and pray and wait.
Meanwhile, a rescue team from north Wales is expected to learn on Tuesday whether they are leaving to help in Gujarat.
The Indian High Commissioner in London has agreed visas for the team.
But they are now waiting for confirmation from Air India that there are available seats on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.
Members of the Anglesey-based British International Search and Rescue dogs team are waiting to find out whether they will fly out to India to help with the rescue of trapped people.
Team member Phil Coghlan, has confirmed the Indian High Commissioner in London has granted permission for eight team workers to fly to Ahmedabad.

It's been almost a year since we've heard any news on Fletch Won, the prequel to the hit Chevy Chase movies. Last we heard, Kevin Smith had been taken off the project, and with him the hope of having Jason Lee play the title role. Instead, Zach Braff had been hired for the lead, with the rumor that Braff's friend Bill Lawrence (creator of "Scrubs") would be given writing/directing duties.
Early this morning on his personal blog, Zach Braff confirmed that Lawrence had been hired by Harvey Weinstein to write and direct Fletch Won, only ten months after the initial rumors started. Variety today has confirmed Weinstein's attachment, but oddly says no casting decisions have been made. Is Variety wrong on this or was that initial Braff casting story from MTV just a rumor after all?
Regardless of the current casting situation, both Braff and Variety emphasise Lawrence's fan status towards the original Chase movies. Having someone who appreciated the original movies is most certainly a plus for a new chapter. Lawrence is currently slated to begin production on Fletch Won in April when "Scrubs" goes on hiatus.
