text: Hi I was lucky enough to get my Cindy Ressie for next Feb (thanks to a posting on this site ). We are booked for breakfast at 8.10am. Please could someone tell me where we go & what we do when we arrive - given this is before park opening. I am particularly concerned that we don't get issued with anything in writing before we go (just have a reference number - is that right ?) - how and where are the reservation checks made, how do we get in, which part of the castle do we go to etc. etc. etc....??? What would happen if we lost our reservation number ? Sooo excited !!!!!!!!!!

By A. Sherrod Blakely
MIAMI You have a total of seven players between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat that participated in the All-star game in February, a hard to fathom collection of great talent seldom seen in a second round playoff series.
With so much talent, proven talent over many years, there's one name that seems to keep popping up as the key in this series: Rajon Rondo.
The two-time All-star shook off some not-so-stellar play near the end of the regular season, to bounce back with a string of Rondo-esque performances that once again have the Celtics riding high in the playoffs.
Picked by some to get upset in the first round by the New York Knicks, the Celtics were the only team with a first-round sweep, as they had little trouble in disposing of the injury-riddled Knicks.
Boston had a lot of different players step up in that series, but there was no mistaking how the Knicks were Rondo'd in just about every game.
In the four games, he averaged 19 points, 12 assists and 7.3 rebounds per game.
Sure, Boston has its Big Three of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett.
And yes, all three can play really well.
But the Heat know that limiting Rondo has to be a priority.
"Rondo, we feel is the key to their team," said Miami's LeBron James. "As he goes, they go."
It certainly played out that way during the regular season when these two teams met.
Boston beat the Heat in their first three meetings this season.
Rondo didn't put up huge scoring numbers in those games, averaging just 7.7 points per game.
However, his impact could be felt in the game's tempo being completely at the pace that Boston wanted.
Rondo's ability to break down the Heat's defense opened up scoring opportunities for his teammates, which is clear to see when you notice he averaged 14.3 assists per game.
To put that in perspective, Rondo's assists average was about four fewer than the 18.5 assists per game Miami averaged as a team against Boston during the regular season.
But in the lone Celtics loss to Miami, a 100-77 defeat at Miami on April 10, Rondo had just seven points and five assists - one of his lowest assist games of the season.
Miami coach Erik Spoelstra acknowledges that combating Rondo's game will be one of the many challenges his team will face in this series.
"He does a lot of things that are unscripted; that you can't prepare for, that aren't necessarily in your scouting report,," Spoelstra said. "Arguably one of the most unique players in the league."
At 6-1 and a slight build, Rondo has shown the ability to get into the lane as a ball-handler, and surprisingly, as a rebounder as well.
Keeping him out of the paint will be one of the things Miami plans to do.
Making him become more of a jump-shooter is part of the game plan as well.
But with Rondo looking to shoot jumpers more often - and actually having some success - that strategy may not necessarily be the best one to adopt.
"He's not as bad a shooter as people say," said Heat guard Mario Chalmers, who will spend time throughout the series trying to defend Rondo. "His mid-range jumper is pretty good now."
Pretty good might be stretching it, but there's no doubt that it has improved throughout the course of this season.
Lately, Rondo has looked to mix his improved mid-range shooting skills with his usual assortment of drives to the basket and under-the-rim scoop shots.
You can see this play out in his shot attempt numbers in the playoffs (15.5 per game) being significantly more than his regular season average of 9.9 shots per game.
(Rondos) gotten more confident in his style and play, Garnett told reporters from the team's practice facility in Waltham (Mass.). Hes not afraid to hit the 15-17 foot jumper and does a good job of mixing his play. Slow, fast, fast slow; he keeps defense on their heels and we need him to be aggressive all series.
Said James: "He's a great point guard. He gets his own, and he gets those guys going and they are tough to beat."

The most important detail is to make sure that the wooden base of the sculpture (generally the hooves of the animal) is elevated from the ground. I am happy if one can insert one's fingers between the hooves and the body of the lawn / ground. This means that wood will dry out after rainfall. Most of my full size sculptures are built on a stainlesss steel subterranean frame. The frame is designed to sit on a concrete slab embedded below the surface of the ground. Once the location is determined, excavate an area a little larger than the stainless steel frame. The depth of the excavation should allow for the thickness of the concrete slab and the hieght of the subterranean frame. I will liaise with the client to establish these measurements.
With my larger sculptures (200kg +) lifting equipment is required to be on-site to winch the sculpture onto the concrete slab. I incorporate a lifting eye into the design of the armature (the structure of the sculpture) to make the job of lifting the sculpture safer. Once in place, I provide "U" brackets that hug the subterranean frame. 2 pcs 12mm dia concrete bolts (or expansion bolts) hold each "U" bracket onto the concrete.
The excavated area is then filled with top soil and covered with turf or any other ground cover.
Some of my sculptures are mounted on a driftwood base. In this case a concrete foundation should seperate the wooden base from the ground. The danger is that if the wooden base is set directly on earth, it might well start to decompose over the course of 5-10 years.
For large outdoor sculptures I provide a severe weather jacket which can be slung over the sculpture in times of extreme weather. What constitutes extreme weather? Severe snow storms, Arctic type weather conditions. Almost all the driftwood I use is really oily, decades dead and hard as nails which stops it from absorbing moisture hence there is no need to cover the sculpture during times of rainfall / frosts.
If the sculpture comes with antlers, the antlers will need to be removed before placing the severe weather jacket. You will find a stainless steel ring at the base of the antlers that attaches to a lock pin - pull this out, then remove carefully the antlers. The tail of my later equine sculptures (post 2010) removes in which case the tail should also be removed before placing the severe weather jacket. If the tail is removable you will notice a small stainless steel ring at the centre of the rump which, if drawn, will pull out a pin that locks the tail in place. Best to reinsert pin with or without tail / antlers to avoid losing it.
My earlier sculptures of rearing/jumping stallions were supplied with a brace which should be inserted usually between the chest and the base of the sculpture during heavy winds / serious gales.
Both the the brace and the canvass are best set in place if you are leaving for an extended period of time over the winter months.
Every spring an all-purpose colourless wood preservative can be applied to the driftwood to offer additional protection. I use Solignum however Cuprinol (in the UK) is also excellent. In fact any decent garden shed type wood preservative / wood protector will help to protect the wood. Please just double check it is absolutely colourless before applying on the driftwood.
If the sculpture is placed in a shady area, you might find that algae and/or moss attaches to some areas. This in itself is not cause for too much alarm as it will take decades for the growth to degrade the surface of the long dead wood however often the green colour of the moss does not add to the aesthetics of the sculpture. Any standard Moss Killer should sort out this problem. Bayer offer a range of Moss Killers - either Bayer Moss Killer or Bayer Path and Patio Cleaner. Both may be toxic to plant life - a non-toxic moss killer is Just Green Patio and Concrete Cleaner which (although I have not tested it) is endorsed by the RHS. This RHS link is very informative;
Over the course of time, within a year if the sculpture is placed close to the coast, the wood will turn a silvery white colour in the salt air. The finish is surreal and most of my clents prefer this silvery finish to the original tan look of the sculpture. If your sculpture turns silvery white and you do not like the finish then a good old scrub down with hot water and patio detergent (such as Karcher Universal Detergent) will clean the sculpture back to the original tan look.
Check the area around the hooves carefully to make sure that the base of the hooves is clear of soil as this will degrade the wood fairly quickly.
In conclusion, a typical maintenance should wait for a sunny spell and follow these steps;
1) If the sculpture is set on plant life, lay a ground mat to protect the plant life, making sure that fluids will pool at a suitable place in order to bucket out excess chemicals. Set-up a walkway to allow easy access to the sculpture.
2) If needed, apply the Moss Killer, following the instructions (usually apply with a thick 4" Paint Brush). Allow to dry and scrub down the affected areas with a dry nylon brush.
3) If the grey/silvery look is not desired, scrub the sculpture down with patio detergent using a hard bristled nylon brush taking care not to damage the smaller pieces of driftwood such as the mane and the tail. If a pressure wash is available, pressure wash the sculpture to rinse the detergent then allow the sculpture to dry.
3) Apply the Clear Wood Preservative (Cuprinol for example) again following the manufacturer's instructions. Usually this entails applying the wood preservative onto the sculpture using a 4" paintbrush starting from the top moving down to the bottom, allowing it to dry.
Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions!

Michael Moore Attacks 'American Sniper,' Calls Shooters 'Cowards'
Carrie DedrickReligious persecution, missions, Christianity around the world
- 2015 Jan 19
Michael Moore, director of award-winning documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, criticized American Sniper in a tweet Sunday (Jan. 18).
American Sniper tells the story of Chris Kyle, a Navy SEAL who was credited with 160 kill shots during four tours in the Iraq War. Kyle was killed on Feb. 2, 2013 by a fellow veteran suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Moore, who formerly served on the Board of Governors for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, criticized the film and denounced snipers as "cowards."
"My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes. And invaders r worse," Moore posted on his Twitter page.
Yahoo! TV reports American Sniper has been nominated for Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screening.

About the artist
Stephan Nance was born in Eugene, Oregon, but raised outside any municipality, in the unincorporated area of Santa Clara. Like his childhood home, Stephan's songwriting resists annexation; he specializes in poetic piano rock. His is not the voice of the majority, nor the voice of a generation... but it is a voice worth listening to.
Stephan began uploading performances of his original songs on Youtube in 2008, with the sobriety anthem "Song for Losers" amassing over 100,000 views. He soon moved beyond the video-sharing site and released two EPs, Tricky to See (2008) and A Piece of the Piece (2011). In 2012, he released his partly Kickstarter-funded debut studio album, A Troubled Piece of Fruit (2012). To celebrate, he played a free outdoor bike-powered show sponsored by Pedal Power Music and City of Eugene Transportation Planning, with complimentary vegan Coconut Bliss ice cream for all.
The trilingual epic "Japanese Garden / Jardin japonais / Yaponskii sad" was nominated for Best Alternative Song in the 8th Annual OUTmusic Awards. The striking artwork for A Troubled Piece of Fruit, by Rebecca DeMoss, was nominated for for Best CD Cover Artwork.
The end of 2012 also saw the release of Stephan's holiday track "Song for Santa (Jingle Your Own Damn Bells!)," an infectious 6-minute romp through snowy fields of intersectional feminism and queer theory, anti-speciesism and fair labor practices.
Stephan's "Song for Losers" was nominated for Best Song So Far in the 2013 RightOutTV Music & Video Awards.
A planned 2013 bicycle tour was derailed by a bike crash resulting in a broken wrist and cracked ribs. This and other setbacks led to a quiet period in Stephan's career.
In 2016, Stephan returned to YouTube with new material, uploading bedroom performances of 18 new original songs in an 8-month period. These new songs explore a wide range of topics, from sexual assault to the environmental racism of the Dakota Access Pipeline project, and reference more than 30 species of birds.
Stephan is currently working on his second album, SPARKBIRD.
Press quotes
Nance's songs are an avenue to express things that bother him, and that subject seems to have hit a nerve… [He's] a thoughtful, complicated person, and his piano-based songs reflect this.
Serena Markstrom, The Register-Guard
Stephan Nance is an extremely unique breath of fresh air… One of Oregon's greatest kept secrets, [he] blends the perfect element of charming piano and a voice that can truly stand on its own. Stephan could very well be the lovechild of Jukebox the Ghost and The Decemberists, which is truly a compliment.
His voice is not the voice of a generation or the majority, but his upbeat, quirky piano pop deals in fun, the environment and optimism.
Reminiscent of the early days of Ben Folds, this young American songwriter has garnered a lot of attention with his quirky, upbeat piano ballads… Highly recommended.
There is more than just the red hair in common with the likes of Kate Nash, Regina Spektor, and Lenka. These tracks, consistent with Stephan's sound, contain large amounts of genuine wonderings on top of layers of upbeat melancholy and optimism. Oh, and much enjoyed quirky energy.
The Oregon native totally accepts his awkwardness and turns it into a very captivating trait. Maybe it is just the piano but I do get hints of Ben Fold's when I listen to Stephan. He is not afraid to make fun of himself or make corny jokes to amuse the listener… Stephan Nance has a hit album on his hands in 'A Troubled Piece Of Fruit.'
[Stephan's] music style reminds me of They Might Be Giants without the inevitable overproduced polish of a hoity-toity studio.

one-line wonder: King of the one-liners Tim Vine has picked up the award for the year's funniest joke at the Loaded Laftas comedy awards.
He saw off competition from acts including Jimmy Carr and magician Paul Daniels, winning with his gag: "Conjunctivitis.com - that's a site for sore eyes."
The event, held at the Cuckoo Club in London's West End, also saw awards given to big names including Alan Carr, Rob Brydon and Dom Joly.
humble pie: Fast food giant McDonald's has scrapped an advert that said eating one of their products was less risky than petting a stray pit bull, shaving your head, naming your son Sue or giving friends your Facebook password.
The radio advert for Chicken McBites only ran for a few days in the Kansas City area before the complaints started. A campaign against it circulated on social media sites, and the apology was delivered the same way.
barred bart: Iran has banned dolls of the Simpsons cartoon characters, who join Barbie and others on a toy blacklist.
The ban is intended to avoid the promotion of Western culture. A spokesman would not say exactly what was wrong with the Simpsons, but he said dolls on which genitals are distinguishable, as well as dolls of adults, are banned.

You just have to look to the runways, shopping malls, and Etsy shops to know that there isn't a short supply of knitwear companies. However, Wooln, a New York City-based company, is differentiating itself by hiring mostly retired women to craft its handmade luxury knit pieces.
Founders of the company, Faustine and Margaux Badrichani, handle the business end of Wooln, which gives a group of elderly women the opportunity to handle the creative side. Specifically, this year Wooln has collaborated with nine senior knitters. All the knitters, who shoppers can learn more about via the company's website, are retirees, women, and live in New York.
Made from pure wool blends in cashmere, alpaca, or merino, the company offers a variety of hats, scarves, snoods, and headbands for both men and women. Standout styles include the Off Duty Model hat, Netflix Addict hat, and Pirate's Girlfriend headband.
Wooln's inclusive creative process, as well as its stellar lineup of product, is not only heart warming, but also needed. Obviously, the age of a women doesn't negatively impact her ability to create, inspire, or contribute to a work environment. Acknowledging this, like the company is by giving these retired women a fun, new opportunity, is super important. Plus, whether you're looking for a holiday gift or a new cold weather accessory, it's nice to know that the clothing company you buy from has a more philanthropic mission that you want to be a part of.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have offended their neighbours with plans to erect a 10 foot high metal security fence outside their London home.
Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow have upset their London neighbours over plans to build a fence.
The couple - who have lived in their £3.5 million North London property since 2004 - have been blasted for their "over the top" security measures after requesting planning permission to erect a 10-foot metal security barrier.
A neighbour told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "It's rather over the top. Who cares who he is? You can't get round the side of the houses and into the gardens anyway. Other houses in the street are as much at risk of opportunist burglaries as his is. We don't ask for huge fences between our homes."
The couple's plans involve replacing a smaller wooden fence on top of a brick wall, for security reasons.
Chris and Gwyneth - who have five-year-old daughter Apple and three-year-old son Moses - are not the only famous faces to have annoyed their neighbours with troublesome outside structures.
Last year, Kate Moss received a letter from her local council after people in her London street complained about a stench from her drains and a crumbling garden wall.
One local resident said: "I think the wall is an accident waiting to happen. Young children walk past it every day on the way to school and it looks as if it could topple over at any time.
"There is a huge crack right through the middle of it and Kate needs to do something about it."

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
15:44 09 October 2012
Tuesday will bring a trying attempt for Felix Baumgartner, aged 43, from Austria, as he dares to become the first ever human to skydive and break the sound barrier without a vehicle. He will free-fall from a height of 23miles above the surface of the earth from above Roswell in New Mexico.
An ascent for two-and-a-half hours will result in a ten minute descent for the jumper, weather permitting. On average a diver is expected to reach a speed of over 100mph, but Baumgartner is expected to hit a whopping speed of over 700mph, with spectators knowing he has fulfilled his aim when the force of his body creates a sonic boom.
The diver will be kitted out in a specialist suit, including a supply of oxygen, and there is a corrective parachute in case Baumgartner is spun too greatly mid dive according to reports. Two jumps have already been tested at high altitude to ensure the equipment is in working order.
With reference to the practise jumps, Baumgartner told the BBC he felt overwhelmed: "When you're standing there in a pressure suit, the only thing that you hear is yourself breathing, and you can see the curvature of the Earth; you can see the sky's totally black. It's kind of an awkward view because you've never seen a black sky. And at that moment, you realise you've accomplished something really big."
It is understood the jump for the highest, fastest, longest dive has scientific relevance – according to reports –as to date there is no hard data on the effects of the human body reaching a supersonic state.
Although Baumgartner is renowned for jumping off skyscrapers, he is aware of the dangers that face him with this dive. Other attempts at this record have resulted in people losing their lives.
"If something goes wrong, the only thing that might help you is God," Baumgartner added.
"Because if you run out of luck, if you run out of skills, there is nothing left and you have to really hope he is not going to let you down."
An American, Joseph Kittinger, holds the current record as he jumped 19.44miles in 1960. A live video feed is thought to be being aired with a documentary expecting to be shown later this year.

Pilot Projects Are Nice, But Not As Nice As Permanence
Urban design critic John King reviews temporary projects like the city's Pavement to Parks efforts and worries that focusing on temporary public spaces will work against efforts to create permanent city improvements.
"Unless San Francisco finds the resources to craft resonant lasting spaces, it runs the risk of squandering the promise of the low-budget, high-concept nooks that have been conceived. What now seems innovative could prove to be a fad. The lessons learned so far could gather dust.
This is not a disparagement of the bureaucratic and volunteer effort that went into the five spaces hatched so far in the Pavement to Parks initiative started by the city early last year."

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Published by Albert Whitman & Company on September 1, 2015
Genres: Thriller, Young Adult
Pages: 288
Format: eARC
Source: NetGalley
After her high school is rocked by an anonymous bomb threat, "perfect student" Gabriella Mallory is recruited to work on a secret crisis helpline that may help uncover the would-be bomber's identity.
Gabriella Mallory, AP student and perfect-daughter-in-training, stands barefoot on a public toilet for three hours while her school is on lockdown. Someone has planted a bomb and she is hiding. The bomb is defused but the would-be-bomber is still at large. And everyone at Central High School is a suspect. The school starts a top-secret crisis help line and Gabi is invited to join. When she does, she is drawn into a suspenseful game of cat and mouse with the bomber, who has unfinished business. He leaves threatening notes on campus. He makes threatening calls to the help line. And then he begins targeting Gabi directly. Is it because her father is the lead police detective on the case? Is the bomber one of her new friends. Could it be her new boyfriend with his complicated past? As the story unfolds, Gabi knows she is somehow connected to the bomber. Even worse she is part of his plan. Can Gabi reach out and stop him? Or will she be too late?
Are You Still There starts off with a bang (not literal!) as the school is in lockdown. There has been a bomb threat made to the school, and Gabrielle is stuck in the girl's bathroom. It's a terrifying start as Gabi is so scared that she actually pees her pants (just a little). But even when the lockdown is over, the threat is still very clear as Gabi finds a playing card stuffed into her locker with a message from the bomber. While Gabi's dad, a police officer, is leading the investigation into the case, Gabi is doing her own investigating, helped by being tapped to help run a confidential student crisis line, the bomber seems intent on making her a part of his plan, and she knows the passcode to her dad's safe where he stores his files on the case.
This novel is full of so many twists it leaves you wondering who the bomber is. The clues lead the reader to suspect everyone, from the Stranger's Manifesto, the playing cards, and the phone calls and text messages received by the crisis line. The suspense was enough to keep me reading way past my bedtime (apparently responsible adults give themselves bedtimes. Who knew?!). I think I even carried the book around and read it while cooking supper, eating, and even walking across the street. I did look both ways first, but still! This book had my attention from the first page to the last.
The writing itself wasn't extraordinary, but Gabi's voice was. The way Sarah Lynn Scheerger wrote Gabi was amazing. She had personality that exuded in every page she was on, and it was what made the book for me. Gabi is down to earth, focused on school, a bit of a goody-two-shoes, and has a sense of humour and caring that makes her someone I felt drawn to. But then she changes as she makes friends, and learns to actually live her life instead of just following the rules and keeping her grades up. Gabi becomes a regular teenager, someone the reader can connect to. She's a bit of a rebel, follows the important rules but knows when to break some, curious, passionate, and still so very caring and funny.
My favourite part of this book, though, wasn't the suspense or the bomber. It was the crisis line. It was a place where friends were made, people were helped, and friendships were fixed. Sure, You can probably guess who some of the frequent texters are, but that doesn't take away from the service provided any. It really shows that there are services available to people who are going through tough times, considering suicide, or harming themselves or others, or who need someone to talk to. It's so important, I think, to have a service actually play such a crucial role in this book as it humanizes the services as well as the people who use them. While crisis lines like this aren't generally run by high schoolers, they do serve a great purpose, and I truly hope that if anyone is in need they reach out to a crisis line to get help. In that vein, this book does include a page on resources that are available:

Alberta, T0E, Canada
One of a complex of twelve buildings known as the National Training Centre, the Garage is a long, one-storey rectangular building with a gable roof, constructed with a rustic vocabulary of materials that include horizontal logs, shakes and shingles. The complex is isolated and self-contained around a large grassed area. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
The Garage is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and its architectural and environmental value.
Historical ValueThe Garage and its complex are associated with the early development of Jasper National Park. The National Training Centre was originally part of a homestead known as the Palisades Ranch. The Palisades Ranch had been established by Lewis Swift, a personality who figured prominently in the history of the area. The Palisades Ranch was a trail-related tourist industry and, as such, contributed to the development and use of Jasper Park. It remained privately owned until 1962 when it was purchased by the National Parks Branch. It began operation as a training center for Park employees in 1964.
Architectural ValueThe Garage is a good example of a functional building type constructed in a rustic aesthetic. Its well-executed vocabulary of building materials consisting of horizontal logs, shakes and shingles, conforms with the architectural character of Canada's National Parks. The Environmental ValueAs a significant building within the National Training Centre (formerly the Palisades Ranch), the Garage is compatible in size, design and placement with the character of the complex. Although the complex is self-contained and not visible from the highway, the Garage, by virtue of the fact that it is part of the National Training Centre, is known to the communities of Jasper and Hinton.

National Training Centre (former Palisades Ranch) Jasper National Park, Alberta, Heritage Character Statement, 87-010.
The following character-defining elements of the Garage should be respected, for example:
Its functional design and rustic vocabulary of materials, for example:
-The simple massing, consisting of a long, rectangular building with a gable roof and chimney.-Its horizontal log construction.-Its window and door arrangement.-The choice of materials, including horizontal logs, shakes and shingles, which speak to the rustic character of the building.
The manner in which the Garage is compatible with its setting, as evidenced by:
-Its scale, its functional appearance and rustic materials, all of which are sympathetic with the other buildings in the complex.

This year's challenge for "The Refashioners" refashion series is to remake a pair of jeans into something, with the majority of the finished project coming from the source garment, that is, it should be a mainly denim item.
Personally, I rarely work with denim as I do worry that I'd get carried away and end up with something like this, that is, something very obviously having been made from a pair of old jeans. It looks a bit strange because there are very few garment types that are typically made from the same heavy denim as jeans are – even denim jackets use lighter weight denim.
So, my target garment for this fabric had to be another pair of jeans. Cut up jeans to make more jeans, you ask? What is the point?
Well, the look I'm hoping to emulate is a designer pair of jeans which is made from… old jeans. These Vetements Fall 2015 jeans originally retailed at $1450 (here they are on Net a Porter) and they came in several different styles. The label basically bought up loads of vintage Levi 501s (!!) and cut them up using their own pattern to make an interesting new style.
Key to the look is the 'pocket within a pocket' shapes on the back (no actual back pockets), seams down the front and back legs, and uneven, unfinished hems.
These were absolutely everywhere at one time… like you could barely read a fashion blog without seeing them at some fashion week or other.
I actually read quite a few articles praising these jeans before coming across one that mentioned they use TWO pairs of vintage Levis for each finished pair. Two! Pairs! Of vintage, wearable jeans!
Of course, I'm going to emulate these using something ugly and turning it into something… interesting, if not 100% beautiful.
I started with a pair of ordinary jeans.
These particular jeans are bog standard Marks and Spencer dad-jeans of absolutely no fashion merit of any kind (no vintage Levis were harmed in the making of this project). The only criteria for selection were that they were a little big on me (but not massively outsized) and they are a fairly light wash (so the pocket shapes will show up once the pockets are removed).
I picked these up in my local Cancer Research shop for £2. Bargain!
First step obviously was to remove the back pockets and remove the lint (urgh). Note the lovely colour difference between the washed areas and the original denim (this is key to getting the look).
I unpicked the waistband everywhere except the centre front section (that would be hard to sew back on).
I also unpicked the back seam.
I merrily cut up the back legs and at ninety degrees into the centre back seam.
Sewing the back sections in gave me the look I wanted for the pocket sections, but my overenthusiastic seam allowance left me with a bit of a gap at centre back, as it turns out.
Trying them on, I made a new centre back seam.
Because of the aforementioned gap, I ended up with a dark blue stripe in the middle. No big deal.
I cut up the front legs, making sure to cut far enough away from any rivets that I could sew it back together without having to sew over any.
I included the pocket bags in the seams, so the front pockets still work.
The slight colour variations in the wash help emphasise the new style lines, I think.
I made some fitting adjustments on the back seams to make them a bit tighter, but overall the fit was OK.
The only issue was to shorten the waistband accordingly.
I cut it and reattached it in two places (to avoid bulk from seam allowances at the join between the centre back seam and the waistband). I actually ended up sewing the belt loop back on by hand as it was more than my machine could take!
And here are the finished jeans!
There is room for my phone in the front pockets, just about.
I left the hems uneven and unfinished. To get them to unravel a bit, I just ran them through the washing machine.
The back pocket pattern I think looks great!
Thank you Portia for asking me to be part of this series again!
Yep, been seeing these everywhere too! Such a subtle change that completely transforms a pair of jeans from shapeless and styless to fitted and edgy. Not only does this process provide really interesting style details but it also fixes the issue of a too big pair of jeans. Win win I'd say! Thank you so much Sally!!
You can find Sally here or here. And if you're inspired to get your refashion on and enter the Community Challenge and be in with a chance of winning some epic prizes…DO IT! Deadline for entries is 30th Sept. Midnight GMT.

I am a huge fan of your work and was eagerly anticipating your post. Whilst understanding what you say about the weight of denim not lending itself to garments other than jeans, the softer jeans with stretch content are surely more versatile. When I look around at what people are wearing in London it almost seems like there is a 'refashioned chic' look around atm. I am referring to t-shirts and trousers with contrast side panels inserts, tops and dresses with various contrast panels, doily type embellishments and I would even include frayed and ripped jeans, so there is no need to not have pride in wearing something obviously refashioned. What I think we have all learned with this project is that it's quite difficult to make something from only one pair of jeans, and have gasped in shock sometimes to see 4 or more pairs of jeans going under the knife to create one other garment. You were probably all glad to be able to chose your own starting garment(s) this year and I salute you for taking lower merit denim and making them stylish, in keeping with your normal philosophy. Dare I say they do look rather like 'something very obviously having been made from a pair of old jeans'?
August 24, 2016
As you say, no shame these days in looking like something's been made from an old pair of jeans. In fact celebrating and referencing a garment's previous incarnation is part of the fun and uniqueness that can be achieved with refashioning, and often it's kinda the whole point. Although not everyone's bag of course. As with anything 🙂 In terms of the number of jeans needed to make one garment. I hear what you're saying and I've heard it said before. For me it's a moot point. Since the aim is to take the unwearable (whether that be for issues of fit, style, damage, whatever) and turn it into the wearable. For me the number is irrelevant. 4 x unwearable = 1 x wearable is an equation that works. IMHO it's always better to use what you have rather than leave it languishing unworn in a drawer. Whether that's 1 or 4 pairs of jeans. If they're not getting worn then they are going to waste. Yeah you could go buy 2m of denim instead and make it from scratch. But now you've consumed even more fabric. And your 4 pairs of jeans are still going to waste. Just another way of looking at it. 🙂

Very nicely done. I like the look, although it's insane to me that someone would pay $1400+ for them. Your take on it is much better; something unused becomes something stylish.

Washington, Mar 25 : With the help of a new mathematical model scientists at Michigan Technological University have successfully identified 11 gene variations associated with type 2 diabetes.
They have developed new mathematical tools for isolating genes responsible for the most intractable diseases, including type 2 diabetes.
With the help of these tools, scientists have successfully isolated 1 gene variations called single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs or 'snips' associated with type 2 diabetes.
The new model called Ensemble Learning Approach (ELA), is a software that can detect a set of SNPs having a significant effect on a disease.
"With chronic, complex diseases like Parkinson's, diabetes and ALS [Lou Gehrig's disease], multiple genes are involved," said Qiuying Sha, an assistant professor of mathematical sciences.
"You need a powerful test," Sha added.
With complex inherited conditions, including type 2 diabetes, there are some genes that may precipitate the disease individually while some work jointly. Identifying the suspected genes was tough as the calculations needed to match up were also difficult.
ELA drastically narrows the field of potentially dangerous genes, and applies the statistical methods to determine which SNPs act on their own and which act in combination.
With the help of the model, the team led by Sha examined the genes of over 1,000 British people, half with type 2 diabetes and half without.
They identified 11 SNPs that, singly or in pairs, are linked to the disease with a high degree of probability.
Scientists have also developed another tool through which they can cast back through generations to identify the genes behind inherited illness of the intractable diseases.
This model uses a two-stage association test that incorporates founders' phenotypes, called TTFP, that can examine the genomes of family members going back generations.
"In the past, researchers have dealt with the nuclear family, parents and children, but this could go back to grandparents, great-grandparents . . . as far back as you want."
The team has published their findings in the European Journal of Human Genetics.

Written by Joan Stevenson—
I'm sure by now most of you have noticed the recent growing trend in Hollywood. The words Remake and Reboot are freely flowing from the mouths of studio executives and they are poised to unleash a string of remade movies over the next few years. My question is why? Why is there such a move on to revisit old material? Is it truly for the nostalgia of revisiting old cinematic friends with fondness or about totally raping and pillaging them to milk another drop out of an old cash cow? Between 2003 and 2012 about 122 remakes have been done1 and over 60 more have been proposed over the next six years or are already in some phase of development.2 This list is dizzying in the least and really leaves you thinking if there are any writers in Hollywood capable of creating original ideas.
Now with some movies, the stories are classic such as A Star Is Born. That's a story that will translate no matter when you make it and there is a remake of that coming (Bradley Cooper is slated to direct). The original A Star Is Born was made in 1937 with Janet Gaynor and Frederic March. The second version was in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason. The third, and for me the most meaningful, was in 1976 with Barbra Streisand. This is a timeless story, so a remake every 20 years or so wouldn't be too out of line. It's interesting to see how it translates in every time period, but in the case of the Spiderman franchise, there was just a five year gap in the time between Spiderman 3 and the rebooted The Amazing Spiderman. The franchise was totally rebooted to include a new actor as the Webhead and went on to cover more of Spidey's history. In Februruary of 2015, Marvel and Sony studios came to an agreement to let Spiderman appear in the Marvel Comics Cinematic universe, plus Sony is planning another reboot for Spidey set to hit screens in 2017 also with another actor in the role. Now don't get me wrong, a remake every 15 or 20 years is okay, but anything under 10 years? Come on! Oh guess what? Bad news If you grew up in the '80s: Look for the beloved films of your childhood to be violated. Poltergeist and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was just the beginning. Look forward to the rehashing of Gremlins, Short Circuit, The Neverending Story, Weird Science, Ghostbusters, and Wargames to name but a few, but the question is still why?
Could it be our fault? Are we as a movie-going public such creatures of habit, so bent on the familiar, that we won't take a chance on seeing something new? The answer most likely comes from the studio heads themselves. Remakes keep studio shareholders happy. They are more likely to approve of something that has already been tried and tested over investing in something new they're they're not sure of the return. Hollywood is just following the money trail. I understand they don't like losing cash, but would it be such a burden on writers' resources to actually have someone come up with original stories that could quite possibly end up becoming the classic blockbuster films of tomorrow? Take a chance. I'm sure every time the words reboot or remake are used, somewhere an unemployed screenwriter's head blows up. Actress Fairuza Balk from the 1996 modern cult classic film The Craft said this on her Twitter account about the proposed remake: "Personally, I don't care for the idea of remakes. There are great scripts and ideas out there that have yet to be made."
Rehashing old material is lazy—or is it? If the writers are good, they will have to be smart and creative enough to construct something somewhat new from the old that will engage an audience enough to make it worth the ticket price. But here's the kicker: no matter the result, critics and fans will always make comparisons to the original. I can see or understand a remake here or there after so many years have gone by. It's just when it looks like you seemingly have so many lined up out of the gun one after the other that it feels like everyone is being a little lazy by playing it safe and not trusting that the movie-going public can or would want to see something totally fresh. So as long as the masses keep flocking to the theatre, studios will keep cranking out the re-dos. The cycle continues. A similar trend is threatening Broadway, but that's another story. Don't even get me started on that!
I guess when it comes to movie remakes, I tend to side with Variety Magazine who had this to say about the current remake of the 1982 Spielberg classic Poltergeist: "Poltergeist remake is generally entertaining yet fundamentally unnecessary." That in a nutshell is my overall opinion.

I really enjoyed staying at the Chicago Sofitel. The service was attentive and friendly from the front door to the front desk to the restaurant. Anytime I encountered a staff member in the lobby, hallway, elevator, etc., he/she always said "hello" and asked how everything was with the stay. I made a few requests via email regarding the room, and they honored my requests perfectly. The room was comfortable and very quiet. The view across Chicago was expansive and beautiful. The location is great too, near Michigan Avenue as well as the L-train. I would definitely return to the Sofitel for future trips to Chicago.

AN ATTEMPT to set a world skydiving record by having more than 220 people freefall from a plane in formation has turned tragic with one of the jumpers dying during the daring effort.
Skydive Arizona blamed the accident on a malfunctioning parachute that was released too low to the ground to allow a reserve parachute to fully open. The skydiver was declared dead at the scene on Thursday.
"It had nothing to do with the size of the group or the aircraft," World Team spokeswoman Gulcin Gilbert said. "It was a malfunction of the parachute."
The accident occurred during an attempt to break a world record for what is called a "formation jump".
The group of 222 people from 28 countries was to free-fall from about 18,000 feet (5486 metres), come together in a formation before separating and doing another formation, then pull their parachutes.
The skydivers jumped at such a high elevation that they needed oxygen masks in the plane, and they hurtled through the air at speeds of more than 160km/h.
The group did not complete the formation and therefore did not set the record on Thursday. World Team organised the event at Skydive Arizona, one of the top US skydiving locations.
Skydivers cried and hugged each other and prayed after they learned of the death.
Skydive Arizona in Eloy has been the site of other skydiving deaths in recent months.
Two skydivers — from Germany and the United Kingdom — died in November as their parachutes collapsed and they fell to their deaths during an attempt to set a jump record.

It's a quite deceptive name the Sternwartepark has. In fact it is as much a park as any jungle is. The terrain had never been open to the public, although there were some initiatives which even achieved a plebiscite about this question in the 70s. However, finally they failed and the mysterious compound remained closed.
Growing up in this neighbourhood I passed by I-don't-know-how-many times, always wondering what might be hidden behind these huge brick walls. In Spring 2013 eventually the Sternwartepark was made accessible, albeit just up to a limited degree.
There are only a few small paths leading through the forest, which has remained untouched for generations, like you won't find it even somewhere in the boondocks. It's an absolute wilderness. No silvicultural actions have ever been taken. Dead trees simply lie on the ground offering animals rare opportunities to indwell.
Walking through Sternwartepark you will be bound to believe that you are wandering through a medieval wood. A magical atmosphere, especially if you consider you're still right in a major city. Take a look at the eponymous old observatory, which construction dates back to the imperial times. The impressive building is located in the very center of Sternwartepark.
The easiest way to get there is by tram 40 or 41 to "Aumannplatz".
Don't let the massive iron gate at the corner of Edmund-Weiß-Gasse and Türkenschanzstraße fool you. There is an inconspicuous push-button labeled with "Türtaster". Press it, and the gate will open.

Police investigating a report of a sexual assault on a teenage girl are hoping to speak to this man, pictured, who they believe may be able to help with enquiries.
Sometime between 8.30-8.45pm on Thursday, September 29, it is reported that a 17-year-old girl was travelling on the 72A bus from Sheffield Interchange, when she was sexually assaulted by a man unknown to her.
The man, who also got on the bus at the interchange, is said to have moved to sit next to the girl on the upper deck of the bus, before the alleged incident occurred.
Police believe the man got off the bus at Cricket Inn Road, Sheffield.
Officers investigating the incident want to speak to the man pictured, and anyone else who was travelling on the bus at that time and may have seen something suspicious.

Long Description: Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush 60sec, Childrens Music, Nursery Rhymes Music, cheap royalty free music, cheap production music and world music
Keywords: The rhyme is first recorded as a children's game by James Orchard Halliwell in the mid-nineteenth century He also noted that there was a similar game with the lyrics, 'Here we go round the bramble bush'. Some commentators believe that the bramble bush was the earlier version, and perhaps changed because of the difficulty of articulating the alliteration, not least because mulberries do not grow on bushes. Halliwell noted that subsequent verses included: 'This is the way we wash our clothes', 'This is the way we dry our clothes', 'This is the way we mend our shoes', 'This is the way the gentlemen walk' and 'This is the way the ladies walk'. The song and associated game is traditional, and has parallels in the Scandinavian languages and in Dutch (although the mulberry bush is replaced by a juniper bush in Scandinavia).

64 Reviews of Healey Brothers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
"New Jeep!!"- Erin
Of course the process was long, but our salesman, Enierzer Rios, was helpful and friendly. He helped to make the process of buying a car as smooth as possible from getting a great deal to explaining the use of a brand new car with so many electonic devices (my old car was 14 yr old with crank windows).Read More
"Awesome "- Robert Roetina
My sales man Eniezer Rios was great. He was very patient and understanding. I definitely would recommend him as a salesman to anyone who wants a understanding patient and knowledgeable person that's him!Read More
"5 stars goes to our salesman, Eneizer Rios"- Lawrie
3 weeks ago, my husband and I decided it was time to buy a new car. We were interested in the new Jeeps, so went to Healy in Beacon. It was dreadfully hot outside, we get to the dealership, and start glancing around at their large selection of vehicles. We saw a salesman walking towards us, and we both prepared ourselves for the obnoxious, pushy, over the top sales pitch! We could not have been any more surprised! Instead, we heard "Good afternoon, my name is Eneizer, if there is anything I can help you with, let me know! He handed us to bottles of water, And he had our business from that very moment. We were at the dealership for 7 hours that day, not because of Eneizer, but because of the way you proceed with the deals. Eneizer could not have been more friendly, helpful and apologetic for the length of time were were spending there. It was his kindness that allowed my husband and I to keep our composure. During the process of purchasing our vehicle, we learned we were Eneizers first customers, he was as excited for us as we were for him. The process finally completed, we drove our new Jeep home. Eneizer Rios is the man to see if you are looking for a new car. He is kind and soft spoken, if he doesn't know the answer, he finds out for you, and he doesn't approach you like someone who just took 10 hits of speed. He's a good man, great salesman and we are very happy we conducted our business with him. Thank you Eniezer for making an otherwise miserable experience a pleasure! You're going far!! Just a few comments about our dealings with dealership in general. There were a lot of hiccups, which caused a bit of disdain from my husband and I. However, when George, the manager, heard of our displeasure, he quickly contacted me, asked my side of the story and rectified our concerns. You don't hear of that being done very often. So Thank you George, you put our trust back in your dealership. Healey will continue to have our business!Read More
"Not my first purdhase and probably won't be my last."- Charlie L
I just made another purchase from Healey Brothers Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. I find all the employees to be very friendly and helpful. I was fortunate to have Richard Clark assist me in my decision and purchase of my new Jeep Renegade. I am sure that all the sales personnel at Healey are good at what they do, but Rich Clack was the one that sold me my last vehicle, so we have become pretty good friends and Rich went out of his way to get the vehicle that I wanted. This was not my first purchase at Healey Brothers and God willing, it will not be my last.Read More
"Don't know how they received any customer service awards. "- Garcia6ct
Worst car buying experience ever. Finance clerk left company and all paperwork was incorrect. Numerous promises made by Anthony (salesman) at the dealership that were never kept. Incompetent motor vehicle / registration clerk that had no idea of the registration process. We 'purchase' vehicle in July and did not ride the vehicle until end of September due to continued submission of incorrect dmv paperwork. Not one apology or gesture for the inconvenience made by dealership. Did not offer any free oil changes or even new rugs. Will never go back nor recommend to friends or family.Read More
"Beware!"- I Hate Stealerships
If it was an option to give them 0 stars I would. This place screams scam, the salesman (who will remain nameless) was unbelievably rude. They offered the same listing price deal to me three different ways by just changing the presentation of it. after multiple attempts at negotiating a used car price, the guy who was working with us returned from the "finance guy" with a deal that "You guys are going to love". After further inspection of the deal, The finance guy added two thousand dollars to the listing price then took two thousand off to end up at the same listing price. they thought they would fool me by showing me payments on a 72 month financing term to disguise their scam. We were also offered a lease on a brand new Sahara for under 400 bucks. When the salesman returned, he told us "Sorry I was off by 200 dollars a month". You don't need a finance degree to realize these guys tried to get one over on me. Considering I drove an hour to look at this specific used car I was extremely disappointed. Oh did I mention the car didn't have leather after confirming with the online representative that it did. I couldn't drive back to I-84 fast enough, When I say I spent the hour drive home laughing at how sketchy these guys are, I'm not kidding. Just read your 'deals' carefully when buying from this stealership.Read More
"went above and beyond "- lw225418
I went to this dealership not knowing what to expect. All Sales people were wonderful especially George Alicia. They explained my options to me and I walked out feeling wonderful that I had made this purchase. I love my Jeep and will continue to go to this dealership after my trade in. Nice accommodating sales and finance department. Lisa WeirRead More
"Unheard of experience "- Srt8mike5785
Went to see a SRT8 Grand Cherokee and didn't like it. We found out one of the sales managers had one and he made us an offer to buy his to make us happy!! Craziest experience and most unheard of experience ever!! Who buys a car owned by a manager at a dealership because they wanted us to be happy?! Will go back for sure!!Read More
"Too Pushy"- Kristyn.Chesney
I had a terrible experience here. The sales people were way too pushy and didn't listen to the needs or wants for what I had asked for. They only cared about making a sale and not making their customer happy. I was not intending to buy a car that day, just looking around to see what I liked and what I could afford. When they took my car to see what the trade in value would be, they held on to my car keys and made it feel like I couldn't leave the dealership unless I signed some papers and agreed to buy a new car. They kept pressuring me to buy and when I wouldn't budge, they moved on to try and get me to lease the car. If I had, had my keys, I would have walked out right then and never looked back. I had to keep explaining that I was NOT buying a car today and they kept asking me why. When I said that I had to think the price over and see what was going on with my job situation, they said, "What's really going to happen tomorrow with your job that you can't buy a car?" Well, little do they know, I ended up leaving that job (for a better one, but that is beside the point.) I felt very disrespected and felt like my opinions and needs were of no concern. I will NEVER buy or even step foot in that dealership again.Read More

Headache is a common problem for all of us. Be it a loud music or a motormouth boss in the office or just skipping the morning cup of tea, there is no dearth of reasons to have a headache.
Sometimes, a cup of caffeine helps in getting rid of the problem; but, at other times, we need to take medicines. However, it is not right to take medicines to get an instant relief as we often do.
In such a case, go for these 6 natural remedies that are found in your home to get relief from the nagging headache:
1. Ginger: It gives instant relief from headache. It reduces inflammation of the blood vessels in the head, reducing pain. Ginger is also good in stimulating digestion, which kills nausea caused by migraine. Drink ginger tea or ginger and lemon juice.
2. Peppermint Oil: Breathe in the scent of peppermint oil in a closed room. That apart, you can also mix three drops of peppermint oil in a tablespoon of almond oil and massage the back of your neck with the mixture. Drink peppermint tea mixed with a few drops of honey.
3. Apple: Yes, apple or apple cider vinegar helps in fighting off a headache. Mix half a cup of apple cider vinegar with the same amount of water and boil it. Inhale the steam after covering your head with a cloth. Eating an apple sprinkled with salt or drinking a mixture of two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water and honey also helps in reducing headaches.
4. Cloves: Cloves have pain-relieving properties. Crush a few cloves and put them in a clean cloth and inhale the smell when you are having a headache. Also, massage your forehead after putting a few drops of clove oil in a tablespoon of coconut oil and salt.
5. Lavender Oil: Inhaling the fragrance of lavender oil or the steam of it mixed with boiling water will treat your headache well. Besides, mixing a few drops of lavender oil into almond or olive oil and massaging the forehead also helps.
6. Cinnamon: Make a paste of cinnamon powder and water, and apply it on to your forehead. Clean it with lukewarm water after some time.
Other Means To Reduce Headache:
• Exercising will also help in reducing the intensity of your headache. Moving the chin up and downwards and left and right and bending the neck sideways towards the shoulders can help you get relief.
• Use Ice: Using an ice pack compression on the back of your neck can also give relief from the headache. The cold gives relief from inflammation.
• Use Hot Water: If you dip your toes in hot water with a bit of mustard powder in it, it can also do wonders in reducing your headache.

Last Man in the West: 'A Texas Trilogy' by Larry McMurtry
I once talked to Larry McMurtry on the telephone. I was doing a piece for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, pegged to Terms of Endearment, on why his works were so compulsively suitable for adaptation to the big (and little) screen – this was after Hud and The Last Picture Show, but before Lonesome Dove or Brokeback Mountain. I was getting nowhere trying to reach him, until a friend tipped me off that he was staying at the Beverly Wilshire with his son, on a stopover before a skiing trip. When I got connected to McMurtry's room, and explained what …Continue reading
