Think of any craft and it is probably used somewhere in the world. Crafts have been developed for all ages, races and cultures and use almost every material imaginable. They range from the very simple to the extremely complex. They are adopted, and modified, by other groups and cultures. They provide great pleasure and satisfaction to many people.
This page looks at a range of crafts, all usable in education settings. Australian sites are provided where possible, as is information on specific craft forms such as candle making, card making, jewellery, knitting, mosaics, origami and scrapbooking. A number of needlecrafts are included such as cross-stitch, embroidery and quilting.
A small collection of resources for this area can also be found on The Arts Resources page and further needlecraft information on the Textiles Technology page.

Woow! nice work! o_o
That's a fantastic Oblivion style scene right there! a charming scene indeed.
That's a fantastic Oblivion style scene right there! a charming scene indeed.
That little flower on its own makes a small but significant contribution I think the rocks look great too
Great hinting at more world beyond the ridge. And the lighting on the rock to the right is really convincing.
Wonderful lighting as usual.....must steal some of your atmospheres....

As of 2011, Cefalicchio's vineyards fall within two different Puglia appellations: the Castel del Monte DOC and the Moscato di Trani DOC. The first is largely based on the Nero di Troia grape variety, while the second – as the name implies – is based on the Moscato bianco, a variety traditionally found in the area north of Bari, and on the sweet or liqueur-like wines derived from it.
Until 2010, Cefalicchio belonged to the Rosso Canosa DOC which, in 2011, merged with the Castel del Monte DOC. This implies that Cefalicchio wines will feature the Rosso Canosa DOC until the 2010 vintage and the Castel del Monte DOC from 2011 on.
As of 2011, some of the wines belonging to the Castel del Monte DOC – notably, Castel del Monte Nero di Troia Riserva, Castel del Monte Rosso Riserva e Castel del Monte Bombino Nero – have been granted the DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita). Cefalicchio wines will be entitled to make use of DOCG after five years of experimentation.

text: Who uses the low gear when utilizing their PG ride-on??? Just curious if anyone does. Reason: It takes longer than other methods. We actually cut the lines to the low speed nozzles, cuz they made no sense to us. This also removed the right angles (restriction of flow). Just curious, and why would PG offer this??? Okay -- I've seen Scotts Lawn Care use ride-ons on 3000 sq.ft. lawns. To me, this does not make much sense. Lots of granular mess to blow off + still having to spot spray the edges??? Takes a long time. What's your oppinion?


text: It appears that throughout the Bible, an individuals name is very important. Sometimes the lord would even change a persons name, and it always meant something significant. It seems that it has been historically proven that Christ's name was not Jesus. So why do we still call him that? Just because it's something we grew up saying? "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." He says we can ask for anything in his name and he will do it. Percentage wise, how many times have you asked him to do something, and he did it for you? Could it be because we are not using his name?

I think mostly that all illustrates the point that we are all different. Pretty deep thinking, eh?
But I find that I really value stability in a bike. Even as a young criterium racer I wanted a stable bike that I could ignore if I wanted to. I took some rides on the aggressive "crit" bikes of the day and hated them, because they were so squirrely. I did once manage to build a frame that was too stable - it "plowed a furrow" and I had to force it to do anything but go straight, which was surprisingly disconcerting. That was a pretty extreme case, though, and interestingly enough, was greatly improved by fitting narrower tires run at higher pressure. At any rate, the truly low trail bikes that Jan says are perfection on two wheels are unpleasant to me. I have a harder time riding no-hands with those bikes than I do with "standard" trail bikes fitted with handlebar bags. C'est la vie.
The short version, I suppose, is that there is no such thing as one "perfect" geometry. I still am firmly of the opinion that "British" geometry perfected in the 1950s and 60s (73 parallel with two to two-and-a-half inches of rake) should be adequate for most people under most circumstances, but I wouldn't guarantee that, either.
I think you are absolutely correct when you note the issues with individual proportions and body weight. Most of my frames are built with 9/6/9 tubing, which is quite heavy, according to Jan. It is what I raced when I was 158 pounds, and I never felt that it was too stiff or flexible. And it also worked for me decades later, at 220 pounds, but capable of putting out far less power. When I built a bike with 8/5/8 (still heavier than Jan likes) I found that the handling was quite poor until I lost 50 pounds, at which point it performed perfectly. But any time I get beyond 190 pounds, it starts acting funny again, and I start preferring my 9/6/9 frames.
Which is all a long, drunken, rambling way of saying that I suspect it's possible to worry about all of it far too much. I really am to the point that I think Grant Petersen may have it all figured out when he says that he refuses to discuss geometry at all anymore. As long as we've got room for the tires we want to use, we should probably all shut up about it and just go for a ride.
Oh, and I am essentially a self-taught framebuilder. I bought a Paterek manual and just started goofing around, eventually ending up with functional frames. Nothing has yet fallen apart on me, but I still tell people they maybe shouldn't ride behind me in the paceline. :D
Did you teach yourself to do lugged joints, fillet brazed, or TIG-welded? (Is there any other alternative to these three?)
This is an interesting discussion, its been informative to follow along. I will add my two cents based on my own experience.
I have only one road bike, a 1981 Bianchi Limited. I rode it for a couple years with 700x28mm tires. About a year and a half ago I converted it to 650B and have since been riding on 650Bx38mm tires.
The 650B version of my bike is better in all respects. The smoother ride and overall comfort difference is huge. What was surprising is the handling became more responsive so that it was easier to choose a line and hold it, and together with the extra traction and smooth ride I quickly became way more confident when descending. I used to be very tentative on descents but now I can really let it fly. Brevets are much more fun on the 650B version and I will never change it back to 700c.
For years I've carried my gear in a Carradice saddlebag. A few months ago the curiosity about handlebar bags finally got to me so I set up a front rack and got a Berthoud decauler and the Ironweed handlear bag. This experiment failed miserably. The bike handled like an overfilled wheelbarrow, it was even a struggle to take one hand off the bars to reach the downtube shifters. However, I can strap a U-Lock to the front rack and the handling is fine. I think the problem was that the geometry of my bike and the particulars of the rack and decauler resulted in the bag being pushed too far forward. Since the bike handles great with a ton of gear in the saddlebag I will stick with that setup.
I wish I knew more about why my 650B experiment went so well, and my handlebar bag experiment went so badly, so that I could make better recommendations to others who are interested in trying those things.
At least now there are bikes at decent prices such as the Soma GR that you know in advance will fit fat tires, fenders, and a handlebar bag and everything will work out nicely.

Here's mine; built up by Silva Cycles. Most of the drive-train is Campy Veloce except for the VO Grand Cru (46x30) crank.
Paul brakes
Miche headset
GB Decaleur & handlebar bag
Nitto campee rack
Son Schmidt dynamo w/ Cyo
Thomson seat post
Brooks Cambium saddle
Tubus airy rack
Ortlieb back rollers
It makes commuting quite comfortable -- haven't done any randos yet. I do have a complaint about the fork. It's heavy enough for a porteur, and has a bit of shimmy, so I'm having Silva construct a custom fork.
Note on the crank: the large chain ring suffered a catastrophic failure when starting at an intersection. This is unusual, apparently, as the guys at the bike shop and VO were both a bit freaked. VO replaced it without any hassle though.
Has anyone tried the Campy CX carbon cranks on a Rando? I might switch just to save some weight; although, it would mean going to a 46x36. Right now, I'm at 30.5 lbs without the handlebar and tool bags (but with panniers).
Time for a bit of thread revival (for purely selfish reasons), as I'm considering a Soma GR as a first (affordable) foray into 650b.
I would be interested to hear more experiences of actual owners, especially of the smaller frame sizes 49.5cm & 52cm, and particularly in relation to handling, and shimmy - which according to the BQ review can be 'alarming', (although the size tested was I beleieve one of the larger), and handling with and without front loads.
Please try and keep posts to actual experiences rather than debates about the why's and what for's.
good luck with that last part.
If they tested a large size, it's quite possible that they had the weight distribution wonky. I know someone with a GR, and he loves it. While I have a frame I like that will occasionally shimmy if I put my weight back at all, I think I probably would have heard if his GR shimmied. Seems to disturb people a lot.
After a bit of further research it looks like a 2nd generation fork was also put into production - with a nice(er), smoother bend rather than a dog-leg.
yeah, I was part of the pile-on that convinced them they needed a more attractive fork
Come on you Soma GR owners...there must be some of you out there, somewhere...(or perhaps you're all out riding?).
Also ... have some patience, dude. Whiny second requests less than twelve hours after your first request are unwarranted. Some of us have a life. If we're not out riding, maybe we're at work.
I just ordered my GR this weekend. I was fortunate enough to be able to ride one at a LBS for a few miles first. I was quite impressed with it and I'm really looking forward to getting it put together.
I'm sure it has been discussed here previously, but I'm going to ask anyway. What headset are folks using when building these up? As in brand, model, etc. I sueppose I could spend hours on the internet, but thought I may as well ask folks that have built one up.
The photo on the website shows the smallest frame size, 38.
Or you could get any kind of cross disk bike and do the same thing, though the wheel sets are easier to find if you start by having the 650 and buying the 700 rather than the other way around.
My test ride was on a 55cm, which is what I have ordered. With a 100mm stem it felt just right for me. I'm 5'10". The frame has slightly odd proportions, with that dropped top tube, but I thought it was quite comfortable and it fit me well. My ride was only about 20 min, but it included some time on a MUP and a couple hills.
It used to be the case that low-trail, early-80's Treks were a cost-effective way of trying out low-trail, but the price on those seems to have risen enough that I think people are better off biting the bullet and getting one of the low-price, low-rake bikes.
When I got my GR, I just moved the build kit over from my then-regular-650B-ised '84 Trek 610. Then two weeks later I realized that I had all the parts in my spare parts bin needed to build the frame back up as a studded-tire 700C snow bike. (By "spare" I really mean spare--e.g. the front derailleur was pulled off an '86 MTB because the pivot pin on the clamp had broken, but then I realized I could just use a nail instead, bending the tip and clipping it off.) So ... two bike for the price of one :-)
FWIW, the price I quoted was for a cantilever-brake fork. I don't know how a disk-brake fork would compare.
For rando purposes, some have argued that a disk-brake fork will result in an unnecessarily harsh ride because it has to be beefier than a rim-brake fork. I know there's a movement to go to disk brakes on road wheels; I'm just reporting the argument. I have disk brakes on my MTB but that's pretty non-comparable to a road fork for other reasons.
I don't know how much more stiff a disk brake fork would be than the GR fork. Bu from my own experience riding 650Bx42 on my Waterford fork and on the much-stiffer Soma GR fork, I can tell you without doubt that the GR fork transmits more road shock. And when I switch my headlight on, the dynamo buzz is noticeable on the GR, but can't be felt on the Waterford. I'm still fine with riding the GR on a 1000km, the difference is not huge. But as to whether you can feel the difference on reasonably wide tires, you definitely can.
Whether the other benefits of disk brakes outweigh the effect of the stiffness is going to be a YMMV. I think it mostly comes down to a tradeoff between safety and comfort. You can't finish PBP if you crash because your brakes couldn't stop you fast enough. But you also may not be able to finish PBP if fatigue from a harsh ride causes you to need to stop more often (or even makes you fall asleep and crash). Most crashes on PBP that I know of are either congestion-related (during the first few km) or fatigue-related (e.g. falling asleep). But maybe disk brakes would help.
I'm generally not concerned with fork compliance. Having said that, I decided to build some road disc forks, and the only blades made for discs that are available to me are very heavy, and correspondingly stiff. So I am left wondering if I really want that on a rando bike. There are practical advantages to having discs, like swapping wheels. So that part is attractive. The fact that they stop very well is also desirable, but I don't see that much difference between discs and good rim brakes.
I'm looking at the V2 version of the GR, in a 61cm. Has anyone got a picture of a V2 built up?

The TENGA Deep Throat is a great toy for simulating oral sex. Contained within a moulded plastic shell is a very soft highly textured lining and has multiple stages of texture inside.
A very handy travel toy or a special treat for yourself/your partner.

I bought this toy for my boyfriend as a early birthday present as he loves to receive oral and I was going away for 3 weeks so I wouldn't be there to comply.
He loves it.
I really can't praise this toy enough.
All I can say is order it, try it for yourself and you will see why we love it!

Read me before you use your Tenga! If you want to make the fun last a lot longer than intended, use a condom each time you play with the Deep Throat Cup otherwise you'll enjoy riding bare back but only get a limited use from it. This toy couldn't be simpler to use and is easier than the Fleshlight Pink Lady, which is another good blow job simulator. All you have to do is peel back the protective lid, grease up your dick with lubricant and sink into the love hole. Once you're in there, you'll get massaged by tons of raised bristles and bumps. There's a strong suction to this cup so you really do feel as though someone is giving you the best head ever. Recommended.

Look, I could say something flippant like, 'Who needs a woman when a toy feels this good?' but who would I be kidding – nothing could ever beat a real life blow job from a real life woman. However, this Tenga treat comes mightly close. It's smaller than I thought it would be and sits neatly in the palm of my hand, which means I have full control when pumping it up and down over my erection. The opening is tight but not painful and the inner sleeve is textured and designed to produce a massaging, sucking action that mimics a blow job, hence the name Deep Throat Cup. It engulfs the majority of my penis and gives me one hell of an orgasm. Nice.

Bungie Weekly Update - 10/31/2014
This week at Bungie, we carved a pumpkin. Then, we slam dunked it onto your head.
If you grew up canvasing your neighborhood for candy once a year in a macabre disguise, you're in on the joke. If you're playing Destiny in a far-flung land that does not observe Halloween, welcome to a harvest tradition that began back in the 1700s. I shoplifted this quote from the Internet to provide some context as to why your Jackolyte consumable is relevant to all Guardians:
"In the carnival celebrations of All Hallows' Eve, our ancestors used the most powerful weapon in the human arsenal, the power of humor and ridicule, to confront the power of death."
Thank the Traveler that such wisdom survived the collapse of the Golden Age. Guardians can't be destroyed, and neither can the spirit of the reaping season. Here are some examples of people getting in on the revival.

AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. -- Lindsay Davenport defeated Jill Craybas 6-1, 6-4 to reach the third round of the Bausch & Lomb Championships and escape a Wednesday filled with upsets.
Davenport is playing her first tournament on clay in nearly three years after missing time in 2006 with a back injury and 2007 because of the birth of her son. But she is very familiar with the green clay at the Bausch & Lomb, a tournament she won in 1997, 2004 and 2005.
Davenport won 89 percent of the points on her first serve.
"Overall, I felt I actually hit the ball better than I did [Tuesday] and did a few things better," said the 16th-seeded Davenport, whose son, Jagger, turns 10 months old on Thursday. "Now, it's just about trying to get more consistent."
Seeded players Daniela Hantuchova, Patty Schnyder and Sybille Bammer were upset in earlier play.
Karolina Sprem knocked out the third-seeded Hantuchova 6-3, 1-6, 6-3. No. 5 Schnyder lost 6-2, 2-6, 6-2 to Elena Vesnina. No. 9 Bammer lost to Alize Cornet.
"I don't think I did too many things wrong," Hantuchova said. "[Sprem] was just playing incredible, going for every shot and almost everything going inside the court. Today she was just too good."
Sprem, who is coming back from a wrist injury, will face Davenport on Thursday.
No. 2 Anna Chakvetadze and former titlist Amelie Mauresmo also advanced to the third round. No. 11 Mauresmo, the 2001 tournament champion, was a 7-5, 6-1 winner over wild-card entry Sorana Cirstea. Chakvetadze defeated Ayumi Morita 6-3, 6-1.
"I didn't really play that consistent and that well as I wanted to play," Chakvetadze said. "But I think for the first match in this tournament and the first match on green clay, it was OK. I could do worse."
Sixth-seeded Dinara Safina and No. 7 Agnieszka Radwanska also advanced.
Featured third-round matches Thursday include top-seeded Maria Sharapova against No. 15 Anabel Medina Garrigues and Mauresmo against Radwanska.

wondering the MS newsgroups I found this:
(a) DbgProxy & Msvcmon are meant only for native applications. You don't
need to start them for a C# App.
(b) To debug a C# App, install the remote debugger, make sure you are a
valid user, basically set up the machine as described in docs.
(c) Now take your C# App, you can copy it to the remote machine, run it
(d) From your devenv machine, do Tools->Debug Processes
(e) In the processes dialog that comes up, set Transport=default, machine
name= your remote machine.
(f) You should see all processes on your remote machine assuming your setup
in (b) was ok. Just select your C# App, and attach
(g) Now you can set BP in your source on your local machine, and work with
the app on the remote machine, the bp will be hit and you will be able to
step through the code and basically do everything you do while local
(c) Alternately, you can do this : copy the project to the remote machine
(d) Share out the folder so your local machine can see it (give write
(e) Open the project on the remote machine in devenv on your local machine
(f) Set enable remote debugging=true, remote machine name=your remote
(g) On the same page, set Debug mode = program, start application=exe path
on the remote machine. (C:\temp\app\bin\debug\app.exe, where C:\... is where
the app was copied on the remote machine). Similarly set working folder =
folder of exe on remote machine.
(h) Now if you start debugging, the app will launch and run on remote
machine, while you debug it from the local machine.

The Balvenie Launches Three New Expressions
Half a Century of Unmatched Expertise Lends Itself to the Release of Tun 1509, Single Barrel Traditional Oak Aged 25 Years, & Fifty, Cask 4567
NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The Balvenie, the most handcrafted single malt Scotch whisky, is proud to announce the release of three extremely rare and collectable whiskies from its legendary warehouses: The Balvenie Tun 1509, The Balvenie Single Barrel Traditional Oak Aged 25 Years, and The Balvenie Fifty, Cask 4567.
All nurtured by the longest-serving Malt Master in Scotch whisky history, David Stewart, these new releases once again exemplify The Balvenie's dedication to both tradition and innovation. It is William Grant & Sons' unique position as an independent, family-owned distiller that afford Stewart the freedom and facilities to create unique and collectable expressions for passionate whisky enthusiasts to enjoy.
Following the release of nine batches of the highly-acclaimed Tun 1401—arguably one of the most collectable and sought-after whiskies on the market—David Stewart is now applying the same unique marrying concept to a new expression – The Balvenie Tun 1509. The eponymous marrying vessel used to create this whisky differs to its predecessor in that it holds roughly four times the volume, allowing David the opportunity to showcase an even greater complexity in the marriage. To create the first batch of Tun 1509, David carefully hand selected 42 of the finest casks – 35 traditional American oak barrels and seven European oak sherry butts – from the distillery's precious aged stocks. All were transferred to Tun 1509, which sits in Warehouse 24 for several months before bottling. This rare interpretation of the marrying process allows all 42 casks to come together to create a unique expression of The Balvenie that's greater than the sum of its constituent parts. Tun 1509 is bottled at the natural strength of 47.1% ABV and is non-chill filtered. The first bottles will appear on shelves mid-October in select markets with a suggested retail price of $350.
The Balvenie Distillery has always been at the forefront of single malt innovation and showed this in 1993 with the release of Single Barrel. This groundbreaking expression introduced single cask whisky – whisky bottled from an individual cask of a single distillation – to a wider audience of malt whisky drinkers and to date The Balvenie remains the only distillery that has an ongoing single cask release of a single age as a part of its range. Following the successful debut of the 12 year old Single Barrel First Fill, which was released in early 2013, and the 15 year old Single Barrel Sherry Cask, launched in the spring of 2014; a third Single Barrel release, The Balvenie Single Barrel Traditional Oak Aged 25 Years – drawn from a refill American oak barrel – will complete the range this October. These three different cask types – first fill, refill American oak and European oak – are the DNA of The Balvenie range, as they are the casks most widely used for maturation. However, only a select few of these casks are chosen by David Stewart for bottling individually. Each bottling of The Balvenie Single Barrel Traditional Oak Aged 25 Years forms a limited edition of no more than 300 hand-numbered bottles drawn from a single cask, making every bottle unique and unrepeatable. The Balvenie Single Barrel Traditional Oak is non chill-filtered and bottled at a higher strength of 47.8% ABV offering whisky enthusiasts a "straight from the cask" experience. Available mid-October in select markets, this expression will have a suggested retail price of $599.
Completing this season's releases is The Balvenie Fifty, Cask 4567. Filled with newly distilled spirit in 1963, The Balvenie Fifty, Cask 4567 was matured in a European oak sherry hogshead, rarely used in the whisky industry. Over the following 50 years, the interaction between spirit and oak has produced an impeccably well-rounded single malt. The Balvenie Fifty, Cask 4567 is presented in a hand blown glass bottle surrounded by a handcrafted wooden case. The elegantly engraved bottles were created by Brodie Nairn of Glasstorm while the exquisite cases are the work of Master Craftsman Sam Chinnery. The cases are comprised of forty-nine rings of wood and a closing layer in brass that echoes the fittings of the distillery's stills and spirit safes. Due to its rare nature, this bottle has extremely limited availability with just 131 bottles available worldwide and only 15 of those in the United States. The Balvenie Fifty, Cask 4567 is a non-chill filtered release with an ABV of 45.4%. It has a suggested retail price of $38,000.
David Stewart commented, "It has been my greatest pleasure to have watched these casks mature over the last 50 years at The Balvenie Distillery. To now share these expressions with whisky enthusiasts around the world is truly a privilege."
About The Balvenie
The Balvenie is a unique range of single malts created by David Stewart, The Balvenie Malt Master, who celebrated his 50th year at the distillery in 2012. Each has a very individual taste, but each is rich, luxuriously smooth and underpinned by the distinctively honeyed character of The Balvenie. The Balvenie is dedicated to the five rare crafts that are used to create The Balvenie's distinctive taste. It is the only distillery that still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings and keeps both coppersmiths and coopers on site – making The Balvenie the most handcrafted of malts. The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced by William Grant & Sons Ltd, an award-winning independent family-owned distiller founded by William Grant in 1886 and today run by his direct descendants.
The Balvenie core range includes The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old ($49.99), The Balvenie 14 Year old Caribbean Cask ($65.99), The Balvenie DoubleWood 17 Year Old ($149.99). The Balvenie PortWood 21 Year Old ($199.99) in addition to a variety of limited release expressions. For further information visit www.thebalvenie.com.

Mitsubishi Lancer news - Game, set and hatch - 2008
Centre-stage on Mitsubishi's show stand in Geneva will be this, the Prototype-S.
We saw sketches a few weeks back, but now we've got the first official photos of the concept that previews the forthcoming Lancer Sportback.
That's the Lancer hatchback, in other words, yet Mitsu is pitching the Sportback as a rival to the Alfa 159 Sportwagon, even though you can see that the rear end is indubitably hatch-ish, and impressively slanted.
Mitsubishi is calling the Prototype-S a concept, but with the exception of a few posh interior touches, the styling should carry over more or less wholesale to the production model.
It's a design good-looking enough to probably worry the Focus ST… and definitely the Subaru Impreza WRX.
Not the Impreza STi, though - sadly, the Sportback won't be made available in Evo flavour: the hottest variant is likely to feature a detuned version of the Evo's two-litre turbo engine developing around 240bhp. Four-wheel drive will be standard, naturally.
It's difficult to know why Mitsubishi hasn't come up with a Lancer hatch sooner: the UK office reckons the Sportback will account for some 80 per cent of the Lancer's sales on these shores.
We'll watch the Prototype-S eyeing the Impreza angrily from across the Geneva show floor next week.
