Vintage and Retro Big Tits!
Vintage and Retro Big Tits!
Born in Ohio to Latvian-Jewish parents, Pedon relocated first to San Francisco and then to Venice, California to start a modeling career.[1] Bob Ellison and John Kirk, both well-known glamour photographers in Los Angeles have been credited with discovering her. She was known by many pseudonyms (Roberta Pedon, Melody O'Hare, Roberta Baird and Roberta Weaver). "Roberta Pedon" was the name she had fully adopted by 1973. The "Melody O'Hare" moniker supposedly came from the name of one of her best friends in junior high. Pedon's nickname was "Mooschi".[2]
Because of her large breasts, Pedon's photographs frequently appeared in men's magazines catering to breast fetishists. The earliest verifiable publication of her photos was in the February 1974 edition of "The Swinger", a men's magazine. The issue would have gone to press the prior November. In Nymphet, February 1975, she appeared under her actual name with text referring to her Jewish background. Pedon dressed (and then undressed) as a hippie in most of her photo shoots.
Pedon appeared in the sexploitation film Carnal Madness aka Delinquent Schoolgirls.[3] Her casting was the result of her contacts at American Art Enterprises (AAE), a Los Angeles company that specialized in pornographic shoots and loops. AAE's modeling roster provided the producer of Delinquent Schoolgirls with busty female talent like Pedon and Nika Movenka for the film. After appearing in Delinquent Schoolgirls, Pedon auditioned for the lead female role in the Jan-Michael Vincent film Buster and Billie.

Medical Jewelry Resources
What are medical IDs?
In the midst of a medical emergency, so many things are happening at once. And in the rush to get someone medical attention, it can be easy for the medical alert information details to get lost in the confusion. But those very details (medical history, allergies, prescription medications, etc) are often critical to the emergency care that someone receives precisely when they need it most. Wearing IDs with your critical medical info on them makes such a difference in the care you receive that the following healthcare organizations recommend them:
- The American Heart Association
- The Alzheimer's Association
- The American Diabetes Association
- American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
- Columbia University Medical Center
- The Epilepsy Foundation
- Johns Hopkins Medicine
- The Mayo Clinic
- The Texas Heart Institute
- Autism Speaks
The difference that accurate, immediate health information can make in emergency care is significant, which is why experts often recommend them for people with certain sensitivities and health issues.
Why are medical IDs important?
This is why medical IDs are so vital to people with serious health conditions; the information contained on a bracelet, pendant or tag can alert emergency personnel to their particular sensitivities or vulnerabilities and help save that person's life. Without a medical ID to direct them, medical personnel simply have to treat patients like anybody else, unaware of their particular medical history.
Medical mistakes are disturbingly common in hospitals, too. As many as 98,000 deaths occur each year due to medical mistakes. A congressionally mandated study from 2008 found that 1 in 7 Medicare hospital patients experienced at least one unintended harm that extended their stay, required life-sustaining treatment or resulted in death. Those are disquieting numbers, but you can significantly reduce the likelihood of medical mistakes by wearing a medical ID that will alert healthcare providers of your condition and prevent serious medical mishaps.
There are a number of medical conditions for which children and adults often wear medical ID tags for. Since everyone's health is different, the vital medical alert information they indicate on their IDs differs, too:
- Diabetes
- Heart Disease
- Uncommon diseases
- Drug Allergies (penicillin, aspirin, prescriptions, etc.)
- Food Allergies
- Insect Allergies (bee stings, spider bites, etc.)
- Epilepsy
- Asthma
- Pulmonary disorders
- Anemia
- Special medications (steroids, beta blockers, chemotherapy drugs, etc.)
- Visual or hearing impairment
- Mental disabilities or mental illness (Alzheimer's, dementia, bipolar disorder, etc.)
- Kidney failure
- Parkinson's Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Transplant recipients
- Medical implant recipients
- Surgical and cancer patients (pacemakers, heart valves, etc.)
- Abnormal EKG
If you or your child have any of the above health conditions, you may want to talk about which health alerts are most relevant to EMTs, emergency room doctors or other medical personnel in case of a serious medical event. You can then make sure to include that specific information prominently.
Frequently Asked Questions about Medical ID Jewelry
People's health conditions and directives are so diverse, there are often a lot of different questions about what medical IDs are really supposed to be used for and what medical alert information to include on them. These frequently asked questions will help you determine exactly what kind of jewelry is right for you and what type of information to include.
What types of medical alert jewelry are there?
When checking for medical ID, emergency services usually check for a few things: a wallet, a keychain, a bracelet or some type of necklace with identifying medical information on it. Durable bracelets tend to be preferred for children who are frequently playing outside and may be more rough-and-tumble. Adults and children alike may wear a necklace or chain with a medical ID charm or tags containing their relevant information.
Do I need a prescription?
No, you do not need a prescription from a doctor in order to get a medical ID. It is a good idea, however, to consult your doctor about what types of information should be included on your jewelry as some things related to your health condition may be more relevant than others in an emergency.
What kind of information should I put on my ID?
Generally the most important information that would be necessary in an emergency, not your entire health history, is the best to include. People often include:
- Serious Health Conditions
- Health Directives (DNR, etc.)
- Medications
- Blood Type
- Emergency Contact Information
- Religion
- Instructions to check a wallet card for more information
Even a little bit of medical alert information can help prevent you from getting the wrong medication or treatment in emergency situation. A bracelet with medical ID can help other people make the right healthcare choices for someone who is unconscious or otherwise unable to communicate those details, and those small choices can have a big impact on the immediate and long-term outcome of that medical care.
Is there a specific style my ID has to follow?
No, there are not set styles for medical jewelry. You can style your medical bracelet, necklace, pendant or dog tags however you like. N-Style ID carries numerous styles for kids and adults, from stainless steel dog tag IDs to pendants embedded with your birth stone to water-proof jelly bands for kids. All of them have commonly recognized medical symbols so they can be easily spotted by medical personnel.
The really important thing is to make sure that the information on the tag is clearly visible and that the jewelry is instantly recognizable as a medical ID.
Do I have to wear my ID all the time?
Many medical ID tags are designed to be worn 24/7, even while you're sleeping, swimming or working. It's advisable that you keep it on you at all times because you never know when a significant health event could occur. If you're concerned about getting your bracelet or necklace wet in the shower or at the pool, you may want to consider jewelry made of rubber, non-rusting metals or water-proof woven materials.

Living in Memphis
Let's take a look at some of the pros and cons of living in Memphis, TN.
Living in Memphis has some definite pros, like the city's rich culture, excellent food, great music, and bustling nightlife. All of that contributes to a strong tourism industry. If munching on ribs and listening to live blues is your thing, this place can't be beat.
But the Blues Capital has some definite drawbacks as well, particularly the high crime and poverty rates, combined with less-than-ideal public schools. These aren't deal breakers for most Memphis residents, but they're definitely something to keep in mind.
Things to do in Memphis
There's never a shortage of things to do in Memphis. For starters, you've got the iconic Beale Street, which serves as hub for music, food, and nightlife. The street is over a mile long and has tons of restaurants and venues to choose from.
From there, you can spend some time learning about the history of blues and rock 'n' roll. Graceland—the former home of Elvis Presley—is a favorite among tourists. You can explore his old home and learn about his life and music.
Then there's Sun Studio, where the first rock 'n' roll single was supposedly recorded back in 1951. During its heyday, the studio hosted everyone from Johnny Cash and B.B. King to Howlin' Wolf and Elvis Presley.
The Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum is another great place to learn about the city's rich music history. Or you can go in a different direction, exploring the National Civil Rights Museum. It's located at the Lorraine Motel, where Martin Luther King was tragically shot and killed in 1968.
For something a little more kid-friendly, try the Memphis Zoo—lions, tigers and bears, oh my. Or take a stroll along the Mississippi River at the Mississippi Greenbelt Park. Overton Park is another great place for a walk or a picnic.
Music lovers will get a kick out of Memphis in May, a whole month of events that comes around every year. You'll be treated to tons of different types of music, week after week.
But Memphis is more than just music. They've also got a booming sports scene. There's the Memphis Grizzlies professional basketball team, University of Memphis Tigers basketball and football, and the Memphis Redbirds minor league baseball team.
And shopaholics can make their way over to Wolfchase Galleria, one of the city's best shopping centers.
Working in Memphis
The biggest industries in Memphis include tourism, manufacturing, service, and agribusiness. With so much culture and history, people visit the city year round to get a glimpse.
The city also hosts the headquarters to several major companies, including Fedex, Autozone, International Paper, and Ducks Unlimited. These are also some of Memphis' biggest employers.

Tips for Renting in Memphis
If you're considering Memphis as a new place to live, it's helpful to know some of the renters' rights you're entitled to as a tenant.
In the state of Tennessee, landlords can charge a late fee if your rent is 5 or more days late. The late fee must be less than 10% of your total rent and can't be assessed on a Sunday.
If you're served an eviction notice, you have 14 days to fix the problem and if you don't, you're given an additional 16 days to move out.
On the other hand, if your landlord fails to live up to their end of the lease, particularly when it comes to necessary repairs, tenants are able to withhold a portion of their rent.

Kara Goucher has joined the Oregon Track Club Elite group coached by Jerry Schumacher, joining Olympic bronze medalist Shalane Flanagan and young distance star Lisa Koll just weeks after parting with former coach Alberto Salazar.
Goucher, a former University of Colorado distance standout, announced the move in her personal blog, talking about how difficult it was to leave Salazar's Oregon Project, but that she's "blissfully full of hope" after only her second workout with her new training partners.
"I feel so lucky to be able to train under an incredible coach and alongside two of the best female runners the U.S. has ever produced," she wrote. "My decision to leave the Oregon Project was a very difficult one, and a decision that I gave endless thought and consideration."
After a disappointing finish at this summer's world championships in South Korea — in which she finished 13th in the 10,000 because of a nagging hip problem — Goucher decided to leave Salazar. She gave birth to a son, Colt, about a year ago and has decided to turn her focus on training for the marathon, as The Post's John Meyer reported just a few weeks ago.

Where does the agency end, and the crowd begin?
3rd February 10
Posted by Ben Malbon
Posted in business models, crowdsourcing
Photo: Dunechaser, Flickr, http://j.mp/c6kd2o
I went to the 'Crowdsourcery Potions 101′ event at JWT yesterday as part of Social Media Week in NYC. Not so sure about the event name, but the content was great, and the panel line up was genuinely stellar.
We watched John Winsor (Victors & Spoils Founder) lead a discussion that featured Ty Montague (Co-President & CCO, JWT North America), Saneel Radia (Alchemist / Chief Potion Master, Denuo), Michael Lebowitz (Founder & CEO, Big Spaceship) and the inimitable Faris Yakob (Chief Technology Dude, McCann NY).
Thanks to the appliance of science, the whole thing is viewable at the bottom of this post, on video. Lots of useful, practical discussion around the kind of cultures, systems, and processes that would enable new forms of creative collaboration. I particularly liked the metaphor of 'scaffolding': the structures that are required for successful collaboration efforts (the filters, the creative direction, the incentive model, the access requirements, and so on).
Anyway, I was struck by one area of the debate in particular, and I've been reflecting on that since. There were a number of observations about how business models (around agencies, and how they construct themselves, most specifically) were being challenged, and indeed how the definition of what constituted 'the agency' was evolving rapidly in new and interesting ways.
As Ty Montague suggested, 'we're on the verge of a remaking of business and what a company is'. Bold and exciting words from the leader of one of the largest and most powerful agencies around. In particular, Ty was talking about a point John Winsor had made just a moment before, around the idea that the distinction between JWT and *beyond JWT* was blurring, and would continue to blur. As creative businesses continue to experiment with new models of creative collaboration, and explore different approaches to maintaining a creative arsenal comprising the highest quality individuals and partners, it is inevitable that which was once almost wholly contained within an agency will become, to some extent, located outside the formal confines of that business.
Creative agencies need to move towards becoming permeable organizations. Those in networks need to be reconfigured as networked organizations versus simply organizations within networks. Creative business must be able to draw on not just the talent within the building, but the many skills and areas of expertise that lie beyond those walls. And they need to be able to draw on this external resource. Like immediately. Certainly within BBH Labs we believe this is the *only* way the future can look; and of course it comes with challenges.
For us (probably like many, I'm in no way suggesting we're unique here), this means building and curating a broader group of people and companies with whom we create and produce ideas, and of course, we're busy doing just that. It was an ex-CEO of Sun Microsystems who once said, 'no matter where you work, most of the smart people work somewhere else'. Whilst challenging to orthodoxy, there's definitely something in that.
Back to Crowdsourcery Potions . . . Ty was hinting that one logical manifestation of this philosophy would be the formation of a broader pool of potential creative collaborators, perhaps more akin to the curated creative group put together by the team at Victors & Spoils. I also sometimes think the Alessi example is helpful here. Alessi occasionally put together hand-picked 'crowds' outside their company to help them on specific projects. So for example, on their program to create new 'postmodern' style product designs, they curated an invite-only 'crowd of around 200 postmodern architects to submit work. This seems smart. It also signals a potential way forward for agencies looking to innovate new modes of creative collaboration.
But it also raises what for me is *the big question*. In fact, two related sets of questions.
1. CULTURE: If the culture of an organization is one of the key elements of differentiation between one agency and another, when does the definition of an agency blur to the point of intangibility? When does JWT (or BBH, or Victors & Spoils, or IDEO for that matter) cease to be JWT? When does JWT become Victors & Spoils? When does it simply become a set of senior and experienced curators of skills, talent and partnerships? And does this matter, if it does happen?
2. INCENTIVES: If the model of the future is going to involve fluid boundaries between 'working for' and 'working with', what does that mean for how people are incentivized? Not just in the crowd, but in the agency? And linked to the first point, what value does one place on the cultural DNA found within agencies (which surely *must* have a value) versus the more flexible and emerging skills found outside? Finally, what kinds of models are right for incentivizing the crowd?
Early days, but exciting days.
All ideas, challenges, thoughts or builds welcome.

There's a saying among IT pros: If it doesn't exist in more than one independent place, it doesn't exist. Your beloved devices are doomed eventually to fail, and unless you have a backup plan when they do, there's a danger they'll drag your work, tax returns, and all those pics of your adorable children with them to digital hell.
Set up your computers to automatically back up important data to an external drive or to a cloud-based service. The advantage of using a cloud is that you eliminate the danger of a fire or robbery dooming both your computer and its backup device; and as you continue to accumulate snapshots of your precious Sally and Stan, you'll never run out of storage space.
When shopping for a backup hard or cloud drive, keep in mind:
- A big advantage cloud services have over physical drives? You can log on from anywhere. Take a pic with your phone, save it to the cloud, then use your computer (or a friend's) to log on to the cloud and download it. If you go to work and leave your laptop at home, you can access the laptop's backed-up files from your cubicle.
- Many companies (Dropbox, Apple, Google, Amazon, MegaBackup, MediaFire, FlipDrive) offer free cloud backup, usually capped at 2 to 5GB, which is plenty for most of us. If you need more, sign up with two or three services, or buy a large-capacity plan. For example, with Amazon you can get 100GB of space for $11.99 a year and 1TB for $59.99 a year. MegaBackup offers unlimited backup for $83.88 a year; FlipDrive provides 10GB free or 100GB for $10 a month or $120 a year.
- If you mostly have photos and home videos to store, Google+ offers users unlimited free cloud storage of them, with the caveat that you'll need to cap your video resolution at 1080p and your photo resolution at 16 megapixels (not a problem for most of us). Amazon Prime members can back up unlimited pics and video to its cloud for free.
- Get a hard drive or cloud storage service that offers a syncing feature. When you plug in a backup drive or log on to a cloud service's website, these devices or sites automatically scan the folders you want backed up, examine them for changes, and save new or altered files. As long as you correctly designate the folders where you've saved stuff you want to keep, you don't have to do anything else.
- But if you enable syncing features, don't treat cloud backup as a secondary storage device if your computer runs low on space. If you upload a file onto your cloud account, and then delete the copy from your hard drive, the service will notice the deletion while syncing, assume you deleted it because you no longer wanted it, and delete the uploaded copy.
- Replace old backup drives with new ones. If one or more older external hard drives have piled up around your house, offload their contents to new drives with terabytes of capacity, since photos eat up lots of disc space. Write the purchase date on the new drive with a permanent marker, so you know when to plan for that drive's ultimate demise several years from now.
- Before signing on for terabytes of backup space to stow your music and movies, check with the vendors who sold them to you. Most digital music and movie sellers allow you to re-download content you own, so backing up these files is unnecessary.

Last week I learned what Cornish tin mines have in common with Machu Pichu, the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China and Stonehenge. They're all World Heritage Sites! And having just completed a 'World Heritage Champion' training day, I found the learning quite fascinating- inspiring me to put a Cornish Mining Heritage page on the Polraen website featuring a great widget (interactive tool) that introduces visitors to the sites, the attractions, audio trails and history – all part of the 'Discover the Extraordinary' project.
Learning about the history of Cornwall's mining industry helps you to appreciate the full legacy of what has been left not only here in Cornwall but also the extent of the impact that Cornish mining had around the world. It's a fascinating story which started 270 million years ago when the granite that creates the backbone of the county cooled and tin and copper ore amongst others was created. From circa 1700 to 1914, the mining industry helped shape the heritage, culture and traditions of the Cornish people as well as the landscape. The population boomed as demand for mineral ores grew for industrial and military use.
Cornwall was the Silicon Valley of its day, fuelling the industrial revolution, exporting mining technology around the world along with Cornish miners who then were at the forefront of diamond mining in South Africa, silver mining in Mexico, and the gold rushes in America and Australia. High pressure steam in Cornish mining was the engineering foundation for Stevenson's invention of the first steam locomotive leading to the mass movement of goods and people. The first tin plated can was made in 1810 revolutionising food storage and preservation. Meanwhile, social impact was reflected in choral singing, temperance religions and Methodism, the brass and silver bands which became synonymous with mining communities. The tin barons, the wealthy investors, filled the gardens of their Cornish country estates with camelias and rhodedendrons brought back from the Empire leaving the legacy of exotic flora and fauna which you can find in Cornwall's gardens today.
We often get folks from across the UK and from abroad searching their family history, researching their Cornish surname, visiting graveyards to seek out the resting place of past generations. And now, I can help encourage visitors to get a real sense of the 'hidden Cornwall' that many don't get to discover, by visiting some of the 18 attractions, many of them wet weather places, most free to enter.
What a fascinating day it was and I've already had a very interesting talk over a pint in the bar with a guy from Walsall, who spent 3 years in South Africa in the diamond mines after studying at Camborne School of Mining. Just goes to show, you're never too old to learn…….. So take a look at the Polraen Cornish Mining Heritage page to plan an interesting day out discovering the extraordinary and hidden Cornwall.

First, there was the Windows API and DLL Hell. Revolution # 1 was DDE remember how hot links let us create status bars showing the current price of Microsoft stock?
About that time, Microsoft created the VERSIONINFO resource, which eliminated DLL Hell. But another group within Microsoft discovered a fatal flaw in DDE: they didn't write it!
To solve that problem, they created OLE (which was like DDE, only different), and I fondly remember a Microsoft conference speaker proclaiming that the Windows API would soon be rewritten as an OLE API, and every control on the screen would be an OCX. OLE introduced interfaces, which eliminated DLL Hell. Remember "in situ" fever, and how we dreamed of the day that our applications would all be embedded in a (apparently very large) Word document?
Somewhere in there, Microsoft got the C++ religion and MFC emerged and solved all our problems again, but with inheritance. Well, OLE wasn't going to take that sitting down, so it re-emerged as COM, and suddenly we realized what OLE (or was it DDE?) was really meant to be all along and it even included an elaborate component version system that eliminated DLL Hell. Meanwhile, a renegade group within Microsoft discovered a fatal flaw in MFC: they didn't write it!
They forthwith corrected that problem by creating ATL, which is like MFC, only different, and tried to hide all those fascinating details that the COM group was trying so hard to teach us. This stimulated the COM group (or was it OLE?) to rename themselves ActiveX and issue hundreds of pounds of new interfaces (even new versioning interfaces, which eliminated DLL Hell), along with the ability to make all our code downloadable via web browsers, complete with user-selectable viruses (ha try to keep up with that, you ATL weenies!). Like a neglected middle child, the operating systems group cried out for attention by telling us all to "get ready for Cairo", some weird crud that they could never really explain, let alone ship. To their credit, however, the operating system group did introduce the concept of "System File Protection", which eliminated DLL Hell.
Meanwhile, another group inside Microsoft discovered a fatal flaw in Java: they didn't write it! That was remedied by creating J, or Jole, or ActiveJ (honestly, I can't remember the name), which was like Java, only different. That was very exciting, but Sun sued Microsoft under some archaic law that limits the amount of crapulence any one company can ship in a year. This was clearly an attempt to stifle Microsoft's freedom to create products that are like other products, only different, and resulted in the creation of The Microsoft Freedom to Stuff Money in the Trousers of Congressmen Network (newsletter and $14.75 T-shirts available). Remember the J/Jole/ActiveJ program manager pounding his shoe on the table and insisting that Microsoft would never abandon his product? Silly wabbit! All this could mean only one thing too little attention for the ActiveX (or was it COM?) group. This incredibly resilient herd of API gushers came back strong with COM+ (shouldn't that have been ActiveX+?), and MTS. (I have no idea why there's no "COM" or "Active" or "X" or "+" in "MTS" they totally shocked me with that one!) They also threatened to add yet another "+" onto all their buzzwords in the very near future. Around that time, someone was yelling about "Windows DNA" and the "Windows Washboard" for a while, but that died out before I ever figured out what it was.
At this point, Microsoft had been watching the Internet for several years with growing unease. Recently, they came to the realization that there was a fatal flaw in the Internet: well, you probably know what it was. And that brings us up to date with .NET (pronounced like "doughnut", only different), which is like the Internet, only with more press releases. Let's be very, very clear about one thing: .NET will eliminate DLL Hell. .NET includes a new programming language called C# (turns out there was a fatal flaw in Active++Jspresso, so just as well it died). .NET includes a virtual runtime machine that all languages will use (turns out there's a fatal flaw in relying on Intel CPUs). .NET includes a single logon system (turns out there's a fatal flaw in not storing all your passwords on Microsoft's servers). In fact, it's probably easier to list all the things that .NET does not include. .NET is absolutely going to revolutionize Windows programming... until next year.

EPA Finalizes Greenhouse Gas Permit for OxyChem Plant near Corpus Christi; Facility will create 1,700 construction jobs, 150 permanent jobs
Release Date: 05/29/2014
Contact Information: Jennah Durant or Joe Hubbard at email@example.com or 214 665-2200
DALLAS – (May 29, 2014) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued final greenhouse gas (GHG) Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) construction permits to Occidental Chemical Corporation (OxyChem) in Ingleside, TX. OxyChem's permit allows the company to build an ethylene cracker.
"OxyChem's new plant will make the most of the company's resources," said EPA Regional Administrator Ron Curry. "Reusing feedstock and waste heat shows that being as efficient as possible is good for business and the environment."
OxyChem's project is a 50/50 joint venture between OxyChem and Mexichem, S.A.B. de C.V. The cracker will produce approximately 1.2 billion pounds per year of ethylene using cracking furnaces equipped with selective catalytic reduction technology to control emissions of nitrogen oxides. Essentially all of ethylene produced will be used on-site in the manufacture of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM). The project is expected to create 1,700 construction jobs and add 150 permanent jobs once operations begin.
In June 2010, EPA finalized national GHG regulations, which specify that beginning on January 2, 2011, projects that increase GHG emissions substantially will require an air permit.
EPA believes states are best equipped to run GHG air permitting programs. Texas is working to replace a federal implementation plan with its own state program, which will eliminate the need for businesses to seek air permits from EPA. This action will increase efficiency and allow for industry to continue to grow in Texas.
EPA has finalized 40 GHG permits in Texas, proposed an additional 10 permits, and currently has over 22 additional GHG permit applications under review and permit development in Texas.
For all of the latest information on GHG permits in Texas please visit: https://yosemite.epa.gov/r6/Apermit.nsf/AirP
This month EPA is raising awareness and focusing efforts to improve the lives of children and families with asthma. Asthma is a serious, sometimes life-threatening chronic respiratory disease that affects the quality of life for millions of Americans, disproportionately in low income and minority families.

I cannot believe how quickly time flies. At the beginning of this semester, I thought I would be able to blog and accomplish so much more than I did. Unfortunately, I took on a heavy teaching load this last semester, so I was swamped with grading and dealing with students. Just when I thought I had gotten into a nice routine, the semester ended. It's summer, which I am so thankful for because it's major slow down here in Tucson. The students and snowbirds have gone, and things around here are quiet. Things have slowed down so much, that I can finally get back to projects and things I have had in mind to finish quite some time ago.
I initially had plans to make myself a springtime quilt with hand embroidered pillowcases. That plan is now a summertime quilt, with embroidered pillowcases.
If you follow me in Instagram, you know that I finished these pillowcases a while ago. It might actually have been during the Spring that I finished them. I found the pre-printed pillowcases for hand embroidery, while shopping for embroidery floss, and decided I needed to stitch them.
I love embroidered pillowcases, and have a few that I have stitched from this great company, Bucilla. I found this flowered pair here. A few years ago I stitched up this debutante lady pair, from the same company.
Back to the floral pillowcases, though. I decided they would be cute with a patchwork quilt. Being it that I love embroidery so much, I had to incorporate some onto the quilt. I found this darling pattern in Claire Garland's book, Embroidered Treasures for Children.
I have been spending a little time here and there working on this embroidery. As soon as it is complete, I can finish up the quilt and call this project finished!
What are you working on?

Cheeky little sale purchase from Boohoo! I've never ever bought from Boohoo, I attended their their A/W press day a few months ago, and I was surpised with what I saw. I placed a order yesterday because I fancied a few things in the sale and a couple of their coats caught my eye. This rich burgundy long line one has really impressed me. The length is much longer than I would normally choose. However I really like it, it adds a bit of masculinity, without being too manly because of rich, beautiful colour. A perfect addition to my wardrobe! Its quite a thin material which will be great coming up to spring/summer. It doesn't feel cheap, the button on the jacket is hideous, but I'm going to change it! Cant wait to add a massive fur stole to it as I think it would make it look so much more expensive than it looks!

The nation's top military brass came under withering criticism Tuesday from high-profile female senators who slammed the military's handling of allegations of sexual assault.
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., addresses a panel of military officials Tuesday during a hearing on sexual assaults within the U.S. armed services.
"Not all commanders are objective," Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York told military leaders testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee. "Not every single commander necessarily wants women on the force, not every commander believes what a sexual assault is, not every single commander can distinguish between a slap on the ass and a rape because they merge all of these crimes together."
Gillibrand has proposed legislation requiring sexual assault charges be handled outside the victim's chain of command. "You have lost the trust of the men and women who rely on you, that you will actually bring justice in these cases," she said. "They are afraid to report. They think their careers will be over."
Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri said that the military's methods for processing claims fail to take into account the root causes of sexual assault.
"This isn't about sex," she said. "This is about assaultive domination and violence. And as long as those two get mushed together, you all are not going to be as successful as you need to be at getting after the most insidious part of this, which is the predators in your ranks that are sullying the great name of our American military."
U.S. military leaders, including all six members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee on pending legislation regarding sexual assaults in the military on Tuesday.
McCaskill has proposed a bill that would not remove commanders' decision-making authority to address charges but would stiffen penalties and eliminate opportunities for leaders to nullify or change a conviction of sexual assault, argued forcefully that the military's system of reporting sexual crimes is flawed.
Commanders promised Tuesday to act swiftly to eradicate the "cancer" of sexual assaults in the armed services but voiced united opposition to proposed legislation that would limit commanders' authority to address charges of sexual assault within their chain of command.
Pledging to act "swiftly and deliberately" to address the spike in sexual assaults, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin E. Dempsey told the panel that the military is open to many aspects of proposed legislation that would change the way its justice system deals with those accused of sexual assault and rape. But Dempsey and the heads of each branch of the military agreed that commanders must be able to make decisions about how reported crimes are handled.
Senator Claire McCaskill addresses a group of military officials at a hearing Tuesday regarding legislation to combat sexual assaults.
That stance was not enough to satisfy senators pushing for an overhaul of the military justice system – including some high-profile female lawmakers -- who grilled the heads of each military branch and charged that the current policy fails to distinguish adequately between different crimes and can discourage victims from reporting sexual assaults.
"If I believed that removing commanders from their central role of responsibility in addressing sexual assault would solve these crimes within our ranks, I would be your strongest proponent," General Raymond Odierno, the Chief of Staff of the Army, told the panel. "But removing commanders, making commanders less responsible and less accountable, will not work."
The heads of every branch of the U.S. military were testified Tuesday before the panel of lawmakers, which has voiced mounting frustration with a nearly 30 percent increase in estimated sexual assaults in the armed services over the last three years.
"Discipline is the heart of the military culture and trust is its soul," said panel chairman Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan. "The plague of sexual assault erodes both the heart and the soul."
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, a veteran of the Vietnam War who spent over five years as a prisoner, said that he could not give an "unqualified" recommendation to a young woman considering joining the military as a result of the scourge of sexual assaults.
A Pentagon report in May showed the estimated number of victims of sexual assault last year jumped to 26,000, up from 19,000 in 2010. Of those, just 3,374 cases were reported, indicating that many victims stay silent out of fear that they could face retribution or indifference if they speak up.
Those statistics have also been punctuated by a string of scandals involving military leaders – including some whose job descriptions include sexual assault prevention – being charged with crimes against women.
Last month, President Barack Obama said he has instructed Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to "step up our game exponentially" to address the crimes.
"I have no tolerance for this," he said during a May 7 press conference. ""If we find out somebody's engaging in this stuff, they've got to be held accountable, prosecuted, stripped of their positions, court-martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged — period."

Review: IK Multimedia Studio Mic is a portable, flexible, essential piece of kit
Delivering both Lightning and USB connectivity, and covering all the basic needs for a podcaster or musician, we're impressed by the IK Multimedia Studio microphone. But with a $139 price tag, and the inability to support in-call audio from Apple in iOS, we feel like it's a good product that's let down by iOS for one common podcasting use.

Review: SteelSeries Nimbus is the best gaming controller for Apple TV and iPad
Comfortable, competitively priced and featuring a Lightning port for recharging, the SteelSeries Nimbus is the best iOS-compatible gaming controller we've ever tested, and it's the best option to pair with your new fourth-generation Apple TV. But without a clamp to hold an iPhone, it should be the go-to choice for Apple TV and iPad gamers only.
Review: Apple's iPad Pro with A9X CPU and 12.9-inch Retina display
The iPad Pro is Apple's most fully realized example yet of the future of computing, with a workhorse of a processor and a beautiful 12.9-inch Retina display packed inside a svelte, ultraportable design. Current limitations with iOS apps prevent it from being a PC replacement for the most demanding tasks, and at $799 it won't appeal to casual users, but we are confident the iPad Pro will carve out a niche in the high-end market.
Review: Apple's 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display still best all-in-one around

Review: Apple's 21.5-inch iMac with 4K Retina display is great, but skip the slow HDD model
Apple's marketing team didn't need to dig deep to dream up a campaign for the new 21.5‑inch iMac with Retina 4K display -- its best feature is in the name. The stellar ultra high-resolution screen mates well with Apple's chosen internals, but it would have been best if the company didn't cheap out with the slow base HDD model.
Review: Fourth-gen Apple TV with Siri Remote and tvOS App Store
The new Apple TV has been revamped both inside and out, sporting an entirely new operating system dubbed tvOS that brings it even closer to iOS, along with an overhauled Siri Remote featuring voice input and a fantastic clickable trackpad. But it's what's yet to come -- namely, the growth of the Apple TV App Store -- that will make or break the next-generation set-top box.

Hi, this is Max Kausch writing a dispatch for the Cho Oyu Spring Expedition 2011.
We have sad news for you today. Zsombor Tulit and Jozsef Zukos are on their way down to Kathmandu due to health problems. We will miss them very much. It seems that Zsombi and Jozsef became very dehydrated on the last trip to Camp 2 and this caused series of other problems on their bodies. They are now heading to Zhangmu and we believe they'll reach Kathmandu on the 18th. The rest of the team is having breakfast and getting ready for the summit push. Violetta, Grace, Enrico, Istvan, Kobra and myself, will leave ABC today and head to Camp 1 to sleep. Tomorrow the 18th, we'll sleep at Camp 2 and finally touch Camp 3 on the 19th. Our plan is to leave Camp 3 at about 3am Nepali time on the 20th and try to reach the 8201m summit of Cho Oyu. Then we'll try to sleep at Camp 2 on the way down and reach ABC on the 21st. In the meantime we'll call voice dispatches from high camps and hopefully one from the summit. Last night the cooks made us a good luck cake for the summit. Today is Bhudda's Birthday and full moon, so all the sherpas and Tibetans are very happy about today being our first day of summit push. Wish us luck!!!
Best Regards from Cho Oyo ABC
Max Kausch

Compare prices for hostels in Buenos Aires with one click. Add your travel dates and see all prices on all hostel booking sites like Hostelworld, Hostelsclub and Booking.com.
There is a few things you should know about Buenos Aires hostels and the city in general. Besides comparing you the best and cheapest hostels in Buenos Aires, we also highlight what we have liked, disliked and things to look out for.Step aside, New York ... THIS is the city that never sleeps! Buenos Aires fairly crackles with electricity as it hums with activity both day and night. It offers an endless array of diversions, and its varied and fascinating neighborhoods mean you'll never run out of places to wander.
Handwritten by local expert for Buenos Aires hostels canuckatlarge
Here is a few more tips from the community. Other travelers share their best tips on backpacking Buenos Aires:
I lived in Buenos Aires for six months and I truly fell in love with the people, the cafes, and the whole experience. The city itself is a great mixture of European style and Spanish mannerisms and traditions. The language "Castellano" is a beautiful language that sounds like Spanish and Italian. You must experience an authentic asado (steak) grill out somewhere. You must find your favorite cafe and restaurant and sit and eat amazing food, drink the best coffee, and people watch. Also, embrace the life of the people -- go to dinner late, go and dance even later! After all Buenos Aires has Mate tea and Medealunas (sweet croissants) to energize your entire day!
The central Buenos Aires is the heart of the city. Recoleta is a boring place where all you see is cars passing, embassies, and rich Argentinians paying twice what you would pay anywhere else in the city for a lunch that is pretty much the same. Same thing happens with Palermo, except for a couple spots that are good for shopping and having a beer. Downtown is not unsafe at all. Anyway don't be scared in Buenos Aires or pretty much anywhere in South America -- people say a lot of crap but you only discover the places by digging deep inside them, so go ahead and use your common sense.
I lived in Buenos Aires for three months. The cute train up to Tigre offers a nice day trip but not much more, jump out at the odd beach or shopping mall. I'd recommend staying in Palermo or Recoleta as they're a bit more like suburbs. Don't stay in Central, it's full of beggars, crap food, and you can feel a bit unsafe, similarly with San Telmo. It's cheaper to get a taxi to Desnivel in san Telmo, eat and return than it is to eat in Central, and the food in central is tourist rubbish. These are the places you'd visit, but getting taxis is easy and they're cheap. Argentinians prefer salsa and Reggaeton, Tango (and Evita) is namely for tourists (try it in San Telmo or watch it in a cafe in La Boca). Never go to La Boca at night. And the newest barrio, Puerto Madero is a bit cold (and pricey in US dollars) and dull, like Canary Wharf in England, but it is close to the park where you can hire a bike which is a nice break from a crazy city. If you have time, take the buquebus across the river to Colonia, the most beautiful place I've ever seen, and it's very safe too.
I loved San Telmo. It was vibrant and cultural with great cafes and excellent restaurants and of course it is the home of Tango. I spent two weeks there and it became home from home.
Tigre and Delta is one of the best attractions of Argentina -- nature, great architecture, and cool places. I live ten minutes away from Tigre and I love it. It's a unique landscape. The world has few deltas, Tigre is one of them, and this has urban area, ecological area with thousands of rivers, and nautical sports -- rowing and yachting among them. If you don't like the nature, you can to go at the Parque de la Costa (funfair/amusement park) -- it's one of the greatest in South America. Don't forget to walk on the Paseo Victoria promenade -- a street on the coast of the river. The place has many historical clubs of rowing, the Argentine maritime museum, where you can watch the naval history through model scale ships, and an amazing, really wonderful art museum on the historic palace, with a balcony that crosses over the street and to the river. Don't forget to travel to Tigre on Tren de la Costa (tourist train) -- a cool ride through the river de la Plata coast, the surroundings of the north side of Buenos Aires.
Buenos Aires is amazing! We spent a week there and were completely entertained. Don't miss Recoleta. The food and shopping are fantastic -- and cheap. Do not waste a day going to Tigre -- it's boring.
