Happy Holidays with FreeSpirit & Rowan: Pillowcases with Deep Ruffled Ends
A new week – a new wonderful designer. Today, we're thrilled to introduce you to Pirouette by Verna Mosquera, her ninth collection for FreeSpirit Fabrics. You may recognize Verna from her very popular quilt pattern line under the name: The Vintage Spool. Her romantic designs combine yesterday's inspiration with today's fabrics. During our Happy Holidays series with FreeSpirit & Rowan, our goal is to take non-traditional fabrics and show you how beautiful they can be when incorporated into holiday projects. Pirouette is a perfect example. The warm creams, rich mochas and candy pinks remind us of a cut crystal dish spilling over with Christmas confections. Today's special pillowcase design features ruffled borders and dainty bows, suggesting the look of a dancer's billowing skirts. What a sweet way to freshen up a guest room – just in time for your holiday visitors!
During this busy time of year, we felt it would be best to create a slate of fast and easy, "do-it-in-a-day" projects. Simple yet classic creations executed in gorgeous fabrics – perfect for holiday giving and decorating, but with a beauty that will last year 'round. In honor of our theme, we asked Verna to share with us a favorite story of a memorable handmade holiday gift.
"It would have to be something I made and gave away to my mom when I was a child. For years I had a memory of a card I'd made for my mother when I was very young. A teacher had shown me how to fold tissue paper to create a paper rose. I made one with extra special care and thought it was so beautiful. Of course the rose was pink (hmm… signs of things to come). I stuck the folded rose on the front of a paper card, and wrote a special message to my mom. For years I remembered this wonderful card, and I held it as a very fond, early artistic memory. A few years ago, I was rummaging through one of my mom's drawers looking at old photos. Unbeknownst to me, under a box of photographs, was my handmade card, delicately wrapped in a piece of tissue! I was completely overwhelmed. I'd thought of it so many times, but never in a million years did I actually think my mom had saved it. But here it was… over 35 years later, lovingly preserved. I was so touched it meant as much to her as it had to me. I realized in that moment, I would forever cherish every handmade item my children would bestow on me."
Our thanks to the great folks at FreeSpirit and Rowan Fabrics for sponsoring all this holiday happiness! Each week we bring you a new collection from a different designer. During our first week, you met Melissa White of Rowan Fabrics and her new Amelie's Attic collection. Last week we thank Ty Pennington Impressions for allowing us to feature Ty's new Fall 2012 Collection. This week you're surrounded by the sweet loveliness of Verna Mosquera's Pirouette. And later this month, we'll take a look at Alchemy from Amy Butler for Rowan Fabrics.
Pirouette will begin appearing next month, December 2012, at participating online and in-store retailers.
In addition, for all of the projects in our series, Westminster helped us put together a handy Where to Buy Retailer Locator, giving you a fast and easy way to source the fabrics we are featuring from both brick and mortar stores in your area (the page is broken out by state) as well as online options.
Sewing Tools You Need
- Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome Horizon Memory Craft 8200 QC)
Fabric and Other Supplies
Fabric amounts shown are for ONE pillowcase, which takes three coordinated fabrics as shown in the photo above, but we have listed all the fabrics we used for our four sample cases.
- 1¼ yard of 44-45″ wide fabric for the pillowcase body: we used four fabrics from Verna Mosquera's Pirouette collection:
French Damask in the Flamingo colorway
French Damask in the Mocha colorway
Cabbage Rose in the Opal colorway
Cabbage Rose in the Mocha colorway
- 1 yard of of 44-45″ wide coordinating fabric for the pillowcase ruffle: we used two fabrics from Verna Mosquera's Pirouette collection:
Ticking in the Mocha colorway
Tartan in the Flamingo colorway
- ¼ yard of 44-45″ wide coordinating fabric for the pillowcase flange and bow accent: we used Tiny Roses in the Moss colorway
- All purpose thread to match fabrics
- See-through ruler
- Iron and ironing board
- Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
- Fabric pen or pencil
- Straight pins
- Seam gauge
- Hand sewing needle
- Tape measure
Getting Started
- From the fabric for the body of each pillowcase, cut ONE 41″ high x 27″ wide rectangle.
NOTE: We chose this cutting dimension to best fit the design motifs on the Pirouette fabrics. This large piece will be folded in half to create a finished case in the standard size for a regular pillow: 20″ high x 26″ long, excluding the ruffle. You could also cut two 21″ x 27″ pieces and seam around all three sides. Or, we often make a pair of cases using 1½ yards by cutting the body pieces side by side at 21″ x 53″ each. Check out the links at the end of this article for projects showing these other configurations.
- From the fabric for the pillowcase ruffle, cut TWO 15″ high x 36″ wide rectangles.
- From the fabric for the flange accent and bow, cut the following:
ONE 3″ high x 41″ wide strip
ONE 9″ x 3″ rectangle
ONE 1½" x 3″ strip
At Your Sewing Machine & Ironing Board
Creating/attaching the flange and creating the pillowcase body
- Press the flange strip in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, so it is now 1½" x 41″.
- Place the pillow body piece right side up and flat on your work surface. Make sure it is correctly oriented; the top 41″ edge should really be at the top.
- Align the raw edges of the folded flange with the top raw edge of the pillowcase body. Pin in place.
- Machine baste in place, running your seam approximately ⅛" to ¼" from the raw edges.
- With the flange in place, fold the pillow body in half, so it is now 20½" (across the top) x 27″.
- Pin the remaining raw-edged side (the raw 27″ side) and across the bottom. The top remains open.
- Using a ½" seam allowance, stitch down the side and across the bottom, pivoting at the corner. Use a generous backstitch (backtack) to lock your seam at the beginning and end.
- Zig zag, overcast, pink or serge the raw edges of all the seam allowances so when the pillowcase is laundered these do not fray. We pinked our edges. For more information, see our article on machine sewn finishes.
- Turn the pillowcase right side out. Push out the trimmed corners from the inside to make nice, square corners on the outside. Use your finger or a blunt edge tool, like a large knitting needle or a chopstick. Press well.
Create and attach the ruffle
- Find the two 15″ x 36″ ruffle pieces. Pin the two pieces right sides together along both 15″ sides. Stitch along both sides, using a ½" seam allowance. Press the seams open. You now have a loop measuring 70″ x 15″.
- Fold the loop in half, wrong sides together, aligning the raw edges, so it is now 7½" tall.
- Mark both ruffle loop side seams with a pin (so you can find them later). Run one or two lines of basting stitching along the raw edges.
- Gather the ruffle loop to fit the top opening of the pillowcase body (from 70″ down to approximately 40″). If you are new to gathering, check out our recently updated tutorial on How To Gather by Machine.
- Find the pillowcase body. It should still be right side out.
- Slip the gathered loop over the top of the pillowcase body. Align the side seams of the ruffle loop (easy because you marked it with pins) with the side seam and folded side of the pillowcase body. Loosen or tighten the gathers as needed to fit the ruffle loop to the pillowcase body.
- Matching the raw edge of the pillowcase opening with the raw edges of your ruffle loop, pin all around.
- Using ½" seam allowance, stitch around the entire opening through all the layers. It's best to sew with the gathers on top.
- Finish the raw edges with a zig zag or overcast stitch or with a serger.
- Fold up the ruffle into place (ie. pull it away from the pillowcase body). Press the finished seam allowance down towards the body of the pillowcase.
- Topstitch ¼" in from the seam, running the topstitching along the flange. This secures the seam allowance in position and helps keep all the layers flat. Press well.
Create and attach the accent bow
- Find the 9″ x 3″ bow body piece. Fold it in half, right sides together, aligning the two 3″ ends.
- Stitch the ends together, using a ½" seam allowance. You now have a little loop.
- Press the seam open and roll it to the center of the loop.
- Pin across the top and bottom of the loop, leaving an approximate 1- 1½" opening and the center bottom (center below the seam) for turning.
- Using a ½" seam allowance, stitch across the top and bottom, remembering to lock your seam at either side of that 1- 1½" opening for turning.
- Press the seams open and clip the corners.
- Turn right side out. Push out the trimmed corners from the inside to make nice, square corners. Use your finger or a blunt edge tool, like a large knitting needle or a chopstick. Press well, pressing in the raw edges of the opening so they are flush with the sewn seam.
- Thread the hand sewing needle. Slip stitch the opening closed.
- Set aside.
- Find the 1½" x 3″ strip, which will become the bow knot.
- Fold the strip in half, right sides together, so it is now a ¾" x 3″ strip. Pin in place.
- Using ¼" seam allowance, stitch together.
- Turn the tiny tube right side out. Roll the seam to the center back and press the tube flat. Fold the sewn tube in half, right sides together (meaning the seam is to the outside), aligning the raw ends. Pin in place.
- Using ¼" seam allowance, stitch across the ends.
- Turn raw edges to inside of knot. It's like a tiny ring.
- Find the body of the bow. Accordion fold one end so it will fit through the tiny knot loop. Slip the body of the bow through the loop. Adjust the knot and the bow until the knot is perfectly centered and the two ends of the body form the wing shapes of a traditional bow.
- Hand stitch the knot in place from the back so the loop will not slide out of position.
- Find the center front of the pillowcase. It should be 10″ from each side.
- Place the bow on the flange and hand stitch in place.

For the Eighth Annual Hudson-EPPC Summer Movie Series, James Bowman, Resident Scholar at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and movie critic for The American Spectator, will present six films on the theme "Middle America and the Movies." Set in the rural and small towns of America's Mid-West in the last century, the movie series will exhibit how Hollywood's ambivalence about what it regards as the heartland's "innocence" goes a long way back.
The screenings will take place on Tuesday evenings between June 10 and July 15 at Hudson Institute. Each screening will begin with a brief introduction and a discussion with the audience will follow each film.
On Tuesday, July 8th, Badlands (1973) will be screened. Written and directed by Terrence Malick, the film stars Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek, Warren Oates, Gary Littlejohn, and John Carter.

There is a thought I've been having since Steve Jobs died - that the iPhone 5 would be a strong indicator of how Apple's corporate views have changed.
And signs point to where I had feared.
Tim Cook isn't Jobs. He isn't the prodigal son returned. He lacks a cult of personality and an iron grip on the company. He's no doubt a talented executive, but without being the dictator Jobs reportedly was, the company will revert to a standard corporate structure.
Insular development, eschewing third-party native applications, design by committee, and development based not on quality, but profits.
Jobs seemed to have an understanding of the balance required. Using the iPhone, iPod, and iPad as examples (because laptops and desktops are different beasts), each new generation lacked something. It wasn't something that you needed necessarily, but it was something that would have been nice. Each iteration implied that a direction was being followed. Cries of "why can't it do this?" would fade away, and then the new version would have whatever "this" was. It left the consumer wanting more, but content with what they had.
Because what you had worked well. The touchscreen was responsive, the apps loaded quickly, the experience was seamless. Jobs insisted that "it just work." This was often the reason given for something not being included - "It's not where we want it yet."
And if a number changed in the device from a 3 to 4, or a 1 to a 2, you knew the new one would be envy-worthy.
But the iPhone 5? Meh.
It's taller, thinner, lighter, and it has a different back, and under the hood it's newer and faster. This is called a standard upgrade. There's nothing inspired here. It feels more like "the 4 still looks cool, but we have to do SOMETHING to it for the 5, oh and we have to change the aspect ratio."
But that's only part of it. The maps are getting some wide coverage on how terrible they seem. Bad directions, no streetview, no transit directions, less detailed maps, missing areas, mislabled locations, weird image mapping, etc.. In reality, most of these won't affect people day to day. But it speaks to a slip in quality control. For the sake of not supporting Google apps on their phones, Apple has rushed their own replacement.
This is something that could have been held off until the next iOS upgrade.
And the adapter change reeks of a money grab. It undoubtedly has technological and design benefits, but $30 for an adapter that doesn't actually adapt and won't fit in existing docks? That's exactly the "oh well" sort of thing that loses customers. After all, if I need a new phone and will lose functionality with my stereo either way, then you lose another tether to me. I feel kind of bad for people who integrated docks into their home.
Jobs had a plan. You could see the evolution of the devices as their underlying technology. It was there in how the iPod became a phone which became a tablet which altered the operation of the laptop and had people calling for a television.
Apple now? I fear they'll slowly collapse. Creating devices to compete, instead of creating devices to compete with, will become the norm. Apple has always been behind on specs and tech, but they excelled on taking ideas that had been heretofore poorly implemented and making them accessible and usable. Siri and cloud integration may be the last technologies we see Apple take a lead on. The original phone changed phone design forever. The 4 brought video calling to the masses The 4s brought decent voice interaction and native cloud support. The 5 brings... what? A subpar map replacement, and no native YouTube? An extra row of icons?
Sure, there will always be the fervent followers. The iPhone 5 is breaking sales records and those sales are living up to the hype even the device isn't. That doesn't mean it's comparable to the achievements of the past, and I fear it's reinforcement at the beginning of a negative trend.
Under Jobs I was convinced Apple had something up its sleeve. over $100 billion in cash was a strong signal that some big move was coming. My money was on a roll-out of an Apple network. A data-only network without the legacy cell crap. After all, Facetime is an Internet phone. It's Skype for those who don't know about Skype. Now? I expect the cash will be used to buy up companies with interesting patents and for fighting lawsuits. They've already introduced a dividend instead of investing in the company. In short, there is no grand plan. This is a shame, because love or hate Apple, when it made a move, it changed the board, often to the net benefit of all consumers.
From here on out, I expect the net benefit will be to Apple.

The Slow Decline of Apple

No action taken at borough council's special meeting
The special meeting called by the Mount Oliver Borough Council on Wednesday, April 24 was long on waiting and short on businesses.
The meeting was called to approve a real estate transaction with First National Bank for the former bank building at the corner of Arlington Avenue and Brownsville Road. Attending were council members Corey McGough, Darnell Sains, Vanessa Talley and David Lowe. Absent were Billie Michener, Christine Brendel and John Smith.
After calling the meeting to order, Mr. McGough immediately went into exective session. Following the 40 minute executive session, Mr. McGough called the meeting back and in order and said they wouldn't be voting on the land purchase.
He explained bank representatives were not communicating and the wrong documentation had been produced for the purchase.
Mr. McGough said the council would either vote on the purchase at the next regular public meeting on May 20 or another special meeting would be called.

First Year Seminars
First-year seminars (FYS) will introduce students to a variety of topics ranging from Greek myth to neuroscience. Some of these classes treat a specific thinker (e.g., Kafka); others provide a sweeping introduction into an interdisciplinary area of study that may be new to first-year students (e.g., animal studies). All of these classes, however, will emphasize the importance of writing at the university level. Students in first year seminars will become familiar with the methods used to collect, interpret, analyze, and present evidence as part of a scholarly argument. Faculty teaching these classes will also highlight the type of writing associated with their respective disciplines, and help students develop, compose, organize, and revise their writing. All first year seminars will have assignments totaling at least 20 pages, and will feature oral or written feedback on student writing; many will also employ peer-mentoring and writing tutors. FYS are limited to 15 students.

As I write this, there are 1,181 posts on this site, most of them written since late March 2007, when Shapely Prose was born. That's a lot of fucking writing — and for a while, it was all me. When I started, it was my full-time job; I had come into some money and gave myself a year to figure out if I could turn a blog into a writing career before breaking down and getting a real job. Rather unbelievably, the plan worked. Which means that increasingly, paid writing has taken me away from the blog.
On the one hand, it's really sad that writing elsewhere means I no longer have much time for the blog that started it all. On the other hand, that was always going to be the case: If the writing thing hadn't worked out, I would have had to find some other paying job by now. All of my co-bloggers have always had full-time work — and one of them has two kids on top of that — so for all of us, it's a labor of love that involves sacrificing time that could be spent relaxing or spending time with our families and friends. And in addition to writing 1,181 posts, in the last two and a half years, we have moderated 91,017 comments. That's a lot of fucking comments. (For a glimpse of what moderation entails, check out Sweet Machine's collection of some of her favorite deleted ones. Trigger warning on that whole damn blog.)
Why do we do it, then? Because it's worth it. There have been incredible rewards — seeing fat acceptance get more mainstream attention, developing a large readership comp0sed of people we (mostly) love talking to, getting to know each other well (Sweet Machine and Fillyjonk were already besties, but the rest of us met online), getting immediate feedback on our posts, learning ridiculous amounts of stuff from the Shapelings. And for me, obviously, enjoying the beginnings of a real writing career, which is all I ever fucking wanted. So I'm not complaining, I swear. (Nor are we quitting, if anyone's worried that that's where this is going. We all love this blog, love the commenters, and remain as passionate as ever about feminism and fat acceptance.) I'm just putting this in perspective: Thousands upon thousands of hours of work have gone into this blog, almost entirely for the pure love of it — and in my case, because it was an investment in my career (but still mostly for the love of it, or I could have quit a year ago).
Before anyone starts offering suggestions for monetizing the blog itself, we're not interested in doing that right now. We decided long ago that we didn't want ads, nor did we want to solicit donations. And this isn't about money, anyway. Like I said, there are loads of rewards that make it worthwhile.
But increasingly, there have been headaches and frustrations that have made this feel a bit like the kind of job where, if they didn't pay you, you'd have no motivation to show up every day. Thousand-comment threads. Blogwars we tried to stay out of but somehow got dragged into anyway, without any of us saying a fucking word. Constant arguments about whether the boundaries we've set for our own space are appropriate. That sort of thing.
But most troubling of all is the expectation of leadership on our parts — of a movement, a community, a fatosphere — just because we're a high-traffic blog. Some people have argued that whether we asked for a leadership role or not, that traffic means we've got it, so we have a responsibility to accept that our position means certain things. Like that we must be more democratic about what goes on here,we must weigh in on blogwars, we must set an example, we must respond promptly to all assertions that we are, in some manner, Doing It Wrong.
But you know what? No. It's a fucking blog. As we've tried saying a gazillion times, it is not the movement. It is not the fatosphere. And the fatosphere is not, in fact, a real place or institution that has — or needs, necessarily — an identifiable leader to set standards, referee fights, and generally be all things to all fat people. If the majority of fatosphere bloggers decide it does need such a leader, that's cool — but none of the Shapely Prose bloggers are running for office. We write a blog. We own what we write on the blog. We moderate comments on the blog. We started a community site for people who want to have discussions off the blog. That is the beginning and the end of what we do, apart from paid work and hanging out with friends and family and occasionally sleeping. We are four human beings, writing one blog among many. Period.
But just saying that isn't enough. A lot of people refuse to accept our self-identification as bloggers — no more, no less — and keep insisting that as long as Shapely Prose remains the most visible blog in the fatosphere, we have an obligation to "lead" it in ways that are never clearly defined and involve some highly mobile goalposts. So we made the difficult, much-discussed and verrrrry well thought-out decision to reduce our visibility in the fatosphere — by simply not being part of it anymore.
What this is not: Some big, dramatic flounce or rejection of other fat bloggers or abandonment of fat acceptance.
What this is: The four of us making the decision that's best for our blood pressure.
What this means: We've taken ourselves off the feed, as Bri mentioned the other day, and we will be taking the feed off of the sidebar here.
If you count on traffic coming from this site, or you rely on SP for access to it, we're sorry about that. (The feed can be found here, for anyone who wants to add it to an RSS reader or their own site. Please do!) But there are other reasons why we made that decision, too. For one thing, the combination of our workloads and the increasing number of fat blogs (which is a fucking awesome thing) means we can't actually read 90% of what comes up on the fatosphere feed, and we're not comfortable giving an implied endorsement to blogs we don't read. We wish we had time to read more. We don't. We can barely keep up with this one.
And finally, when we made the decision, Bri hadn't made this explicit yet, but now that she has, I'll quote her, from the new rules for submitting your blog to the feed:
Your submission will not be accepted if your blog entries are not at least 75% relating to fat/size acceptance – Notes and Fat Chat are fat acceptance feeds for a reason…
Most of the 1,181 posts on this blog are about fat. Which means we could probably write about nothing but lemurs and still technically clear the "75% fat" hurdle for some time, but going forward, we are not necessarily going to be focused on fat more than 75% of the time. This is not — let me make sure this part is clear, NOTNOTNOTNOTNOT — because we are any less committed to fat acceptance than we ever were, or because we want to distance ourselves from the movement, or because we're softening you up for the big announcement that we're all going on diets "for our health." It is because, quite simply, we've already written like a thousand fucking posts about fat. I've also written half a book about fat, and many more posts and articles for other outlets. I am in talks to start writing about fat for a monthly publication. I've been doing (and arranging more) speaking engagements about fat, and dozens of interviews. We all will still be writing about fat here. But it's just, with all that writing and thinking and speaking about fat, we're starting to feel like broken records. And we all have other interests we would like to write about. So we're broadening the scope of Shapely Prose a bit.
When I started this blog, the tag line was "humorless feminism and fat acceptance." I envisioned it as a general feminist blog that specialized in fat, but then the fat part really took off, and I tightened the focus. What we're doing now, more or less, is going back to the original vision. 90% of topics will probably still be feminism or fat-related — plus some lemurs and shit. We're not really setting rules. We're just going to write about whatever interests us on a given day, so that blogging feels more fun and less stale than it's been feeling lately.
We know some people aren't going to be happy with some or all of this news. We're sorry, insofar as we don't relish making people unhappy. But given that we are, in fact, doing this for the love of it, we need to make sure it remains something we love doing. And all of the above are steps we feel we need to take to make that happen.
If you're angry and/or don't want to read SP if it's going to be like this, that's okay. We're grateful to all of you who have helped to build our traffic, and if we lose traffic now, well… decisions have consequences. That's okay, too. You gotta make 'em anyway, and these are the decisions we made.
It's just one blog. And it's our blog. And this is how it's going forward.
So now I've told you everything I can about the State of the Prose as of Friday the 13th of November, 2009 — except for one bit of FANFUCKINGTASTIC news I am going to share in a different post, because I don't want that overshadowed by whatever WTF-ing happens on this thread.
Thank you all for reading this blog. Really.

Happy Ending Massage - It Has a Warm and Sensual Atmosphere
A happy ending massage has a romantic feel to it, and that is why some people find them so erotic. And who doesn't want to experience sensual pleasure?
Happy endings massages can be performed by a masseuse or masseur or even on the client himself. The difference between the two is in the fact that the masseuse performs the happy ending massage with other clients as well as in front of the client. But the moment that you feel up to the challenge, why not join the rest of the world in loving a happy ending massage!
So what is the difference between a happy ending massage and a regular sensual massage? Well, aside from the fact that this type of massages is done by the same masseuse with other clients, it is the reason why this type of massages have a warm and sensual atmosphere.
Once the masseuse begins her work, she will start giving you a special love caresses to your body. This is a service that is done with a long lasting memory in mind. You may feel some tension in the moment, but you should not worry because she will release this tension in the next moment.
After being given special love caresses, the masseuse will then gently rock your body and gently stimulate you with some light touching, so that you know what the next steps would be. For instance, if you are stressed out about your last few dates, this massage would be the right choice for you!
The work of the masseuse does not end here however, as she would continue to give you the same massage at another position, with the intention that the next move would be to give you more love caresses. It is all done with love and care.
Althoughthe above description may be the beginning of your journey into a happy endings massage, there are some techniques that are included in the routine. These techniques are designed to help you enjoy the massage and give you an ideal mental and physical experience. And that is why this type of massage is becoming so popular nowadays.
What are these different things that make the ritual of this kind of massage so appealing? What do you need to understand about the massage in order to enjoy it?
The basic thing that you need to understand about a happy ending massage is that it's not about the pleasurable sensations that you feel but more about relaxing and bonding with the masseuse. It's about making yourself comfortable and relaxed and taking a break from the pressures of everyday life. In other words, a happy ending massage is the best remedy for stress and anxiety.
But just like anything else in life, there is a deeper purpose to it all, and that is something that you should never forget. It is more than just a service for the customer, but more about creating a connection with the masseuse. That is why the masseuse is a crucial part of the whole process.
There are different kinds of happy endings massages that are popular today. They come in the form of simple massages and they also include sensual deep-tissue treatments. Each one of them has its own speciality, as you would be able to experience different things at a happy ending massage.
All in all, you will never get bored of these services and you will surely look forward to their arrival every day. And after all, it is still better to be stimulated every once in a while than never to experience sexual pleasure again!

Define Project Eh? Project Eh is one that you think may be a fail, then you think may be not too bad. But it certainly isn't great. But I don't want to put any more work in it - for now. Would I buy it if I saw it in a store? Certainly not. But I can't really say it is a failure yet. I'm just going to put it somewhere where I can see it occasionally and think about it.

Went on a little day trip to beautiful Santa Barbara for some road riding: Gibraltar Loop from Mesa Ln. Unlike my last trip to Santa Barbara, I was with others and we all piled in a car and drove up. Finally able to hang out with Alex, Ron and Ilya, who I have only ridden with occasionally or not at all.
After a mechanical and some other delays (if you count coffee as a delay, I count it as a necessity), it was pretty warm for the 9-mile climb. Some sections hit 14 or so percent (or so claim those with the GPS devices rattling off numbers). I was missing having that 27 on my cassette.
This is the view from the hot tub platform!
Nice to get out of my normal routine and do this. Other surprises: opportunity for a post-ride outdoor shower on above mentioned property. Also being the only vegan and saying, 'Yeah I can eat anywhere don't worry about it' and ending up at a brew pub with very few options (the beans had meat in them!?).
Thanks Alex for planning the route, Ron for driving/taking photos/drinking excessive amounts of coffee and Ilya for keeping us entertained.

Red Sox prospect shoots himself in leg cleaning gun
- Bryce Brentz suffered a leg wound after his handgun discharged while he cleaned it
- He%27s expected to resume practicing Monday
- Though not expected to make the Red Sox in 2013%2C Brentz is among their top outfield prospects
Like many ballplayers on the verge of reporting to spring training, Boston Red Sox prospect Bryce Brentz tweeted Saturday that he's "looking forward to a great 2013 season."
What separates Brentz's sentiment from everyone else's is that he's also fortunate to still have a career.
Brentz, 24, accidentally shot himself in the leg while cleaning a handgun two weeks ago. The bullet entered and exited the leg, and Brentz tweeted that he anticipates "returning to full practice" Monday.
Brentz appears to be quite a hunter. In March 2012, the Boston Globe reported, he bagged a 290-pound boar while bow hunting.
This time, Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said Brentz was "lucky" he did not suffer a more significant injury.
Said Cherington to ESPN Boston: "Fortunately for him, it's something he's going to recover from and be fine, and it won't affect his baseball career. I guess you could say he got lucky relative to what happened. I think he understands he got lucky. It's a serious thing, and he has to be careful. He's here in Fort Myers, and he's recovering, and it's not going to get in the way of his future, but he won't be in big league camp."
Indeed, when the story became public Saturday, Brentz took to Twitter to thank fans for the outpouring of support:
Wanna thank everyone for the concerns and prayers. I return to full practice Monday and looking forward to a great 2013 season
Brentz had been invited to big league camp, and though he was almost certain not to make the big club, he's still a factor in the organization. Brentz, the 36th overall pick in the 2010 draft, reached Class AAA Pawtucket (R.I.) last season, hitting .290 with 17 homers and 76 RBI in 127 total games between AA and AAA.

Rockbox allows you to put the album art, or another image related to the music on your player to display it in the PictureFlow plugin or in the theme. For this feature to work, there are a few requirements.
Rockbox supports embedded album art only for some specific formats, see section B.2.1 for full details. It additionally supports loading images located on the hard disk. PictureFlow is currently unable to use embedded album art. The image files must be in either BMP or JPEG format, while embedded album art is currently limited to JPEG. Embedded JPEG images must not be unsynchronized. Rockbox does not support RLE-compressed BMP files, nor does it support progressive and multi-scan JPEG files. JPEG files must consist of a single scan with interleaved components, as progressive and multi-scan images require much more memory to decode.
The pictures can be named a number of different ways, and placed to a number of different locations. You can have pictures specific to the file or the album or use a generic picture. You can place the picture in the same directory as the file, in the parent directory or in a fixed directory named /.rockbox/albumart/. The order Rockbox uses when looking for a picture is as follows (a list in braces means that those file extensions are tried in that order):
The following characters will be replaced with an underscore (_) when looking for albumtitle.bmp or albumartist-albumtitle.bmp: \ / : < > ? * |. Doublequotes will be replaced by single quotes. If no album artist is set, artist will be used instead. See AlbumArt in the wiki for programs that will help you automate the process of putting album art on your player.


text: Another year brings another one of Wilhelm's annual Pet Food drives. We have once again teamed up with Chuck Waggin' Pet Food Party during the month of November as a perfect way to give back to our animals who need help getting through the holiday period. The way it all works is as follows. "Bring in two cans of non-perishable pet food items and we will give you $15 off any service or repair at any of our seven locations valley wide." This is our third consecutive year running our Pet Food Drive specially, and it has run with major success. Overall, it is our 18th annual food drive designed to give back to our community. Just lasr year, we donated almost 100 pounds of Pet food shelters, as well as over 300 pounds to human shelters to help their causes. In 2015, we donated even more!!! With your help, we are looking to exceed last years total and focus only on PET FOOD. Absolutely anything you can give can help us reach our targets together. Give us a call if you want to hear more about our offer and please help spread the word for a good cause. Philianthropy has always been a key part in our 88-year-old business and we believe giving back is one of the greatest things you can do. Here at Wilhelm, we want to create a platform where our customers can give back, especially during this holiday period.

|A glass of Becks yesterday
Adam Johnson is, what, twenty-one? Something like that. I am loathe to check, because it will make me feel both slightly odd and very old. He is also rich beyond his uncluttered Middlesbrough upbringing might be expected to have prepared him for. Like the tight, sharp German pils in my days, the cash is dribbling out of his ears.
The gnarled old chestnut of putting young men and big bucks together has been thrashed to bits over the years and we are all aware of the consequences. I would probably have been alongside Adam and Gareth and Joe, trying to impress the ladies and hanging out with the boys. But wait a minute. Did you say Gareth? What the hell's Gareth doing out on the bender with us? Shouldn't he be at home reading a book or something?
|A bottle of rum last week
How many times have I said to myself either "that's the last time I drink red wine, white wine, then red wine again. And certainly no Sambuca in the middle next time" or "that's the last time I waste my money going all the way to bloody London to see them cave in feebly to West Ham yet again". What happens ten days later? Caught drunk in the precincts of the borough of Fulham on the way to watch another 3-1 defeat with a bottle of Sambuca in my back pocket. So, we are addicted to both, right?
|Thought you said you'd not be coming again...?
This is the marvellous world that Adam Johnson came flying into. Thanks to cash and modern schooling methods, our footballers are now able to take things onto a new plane of wastefulness and idiocy. A flight to St Andrews to play golf on your day off. A student party. A student party! Well, I remember full well our dos in a shaky Hastings Road bedsit attracting all sorts of night hawks and carnivorous party beasts, but not once did I find Simon Stainrod or Mel Sterland, what might have passed for Sheffield football gliterati in the 80s, stalking our kitchen hoovering up the cans of Wards and eating slices of salami with their hands. (Mind you I'm sure Mel would have been there if he'd known about it....).
With wealth comes untold possibilities. St Andrews is suddenly a viable alternative to the pitch and putt in Timperley, a quickie to see the Lakers is as commonplace as a bus ride down to the GMex to see the Masters Soccer Sixes used to be. We live in enlightened and wasteful times, times of excess and bravura, scoffing and gagging, nothing much impressing us unless I can trump it with some other monstrous overstatement. Pink fitted Hummer? Lamborghini that turns into a hovercraft? Jetski with a bar attached? Black and white pool table with your name on it?
|Joe Hart prepares to go down the shops for a tin of peas
Brian Marwood, another man lost in the timewarp of the 80s, made a uniquely appropriate quote last week, (just after Joe Hart had tripped the light fantastic on a bar top in Magaluf and just before he sipped the magic student broth in central Scotland) -boy, these lads can get pissed absolutely anywhere- stated, "our foreign players have educated the other players. Kolo and Yaya [Toure] are Muslim. They don't drink. I'm hoping young players look at that, and think they've played in the Champions League final and there's a player with Spain in the World Cup [Silva]. He doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, rarely goes out. Maybe I should try a bit of that.''
Maybe Gareth, Joe, Shay and Adam should try a bit too. If the performance at Wolves is anything to go by, the whole team should stick to mineral water

As you may know, AdSense publishers are ultimately responsible for the traffic on their ads. For this reason, it's critical that you diligently monitor your ad traffic to ensure that your account is compliant with our policies and not accruing invalid traffic. If you see something suspicious after following the tips below, you're welcome to notify us.
We encourage you to review the information in our beginner's guide to AdSense policies, as well as our full program policies and Terms and Conditions. In addition to that, here are some tips to help you prevent invalid traffic on your ads:
- Understand your ad traffic and site visitors
Break down your traffic reports into meaningful segments using URL channels, custom channels, or even Google Ad Manager ad units. This will help you gauge how changes to traffic sources or implementation can affect your ad traffic.
Next, use Google Analytics to get detailed information about your site visitors, and be on the lookout for any suspicious user behavior. (Where do my users come from, either geographically or on the Web? Which pages do they view on my site?). Learn how to understand your traffic.
- Avoid partnering with untrusted / low-quality parties
Some publishers have had issues with invalid traffic when partnering with low-quality ad networks, search engines, or directory sites in efforts to increase traffic to their site. Learn more about purchasing traffic.
- Don't click on your own ads, even if you think it's okay to do so
Even if you're interested in an ad or looking for its destination URL, clicking on your own ads is still prohibited. Instead, you can use the AdSense publisher toolbar. Keep in mind that even when we filter clicks on your own ads, we don't ignore those clicks completely; if it appears to us that a publisher has been clicking on his own ads to inflate his earnings or an advertiser's costs, we may disable the account to protect our advertisers.
- Double- and triple-check your implementation
Some publishers use custom implementations that may have unintended consequences on their ad requests. Make sure your ad implementation conforms to our ad placement policies and has no programming errors. Also, check your ads in different browsers and platforms to ensure they work as you expect.
- Consult the AdSense Help Forum
If you have a question, it's likely that another publisher has encountered the same issue, so join in a discussion to learn more, or start your own. Let others know if you've encountered a third party or situation that tends to generate invalid traffic.

Graduate Program in Anthropology
The fundamental goals of the Hunter College Master's Program in Anthropology are to provide a first-class graduate-level grounding in the basics of anthropology and an extensive exposure to advanced research. We remain committed to providing a level of Master's training second to none.
Graduate Program Objectives
The most important characteristics of our program include the following: The Department maintains a commitment to a four-field approach to graduate training despite an apparent national trend towards increasing specialization at earlier levels of graduate training. We feel that a substantial background in sociocultural anthropology, biological anthropology, anthropological archaeology and linguistics is essential to student training irrespective of subdisciplinary specialization.
Current theoretical approaches to problems of anthropological interest increasingly blur the traditional distinctions between sub-disciplines. Students with only minimal cross-quadrant training will be equally limited in their choice of future research topics. Further, in an increasingly difficult job market, there is a growing pressure for a more generalized competency. As anthropology PhDs increasingly find employment in smaller institutions and outside academia, the drawbacks of highly specialized, wholly thesis-focused graduate programs become more serious. We feel that a student with a solid four-field background can readily opt to specialize, while one-talent specialists are hard to retrain as generalists.
The Department maintains stringent degree requirements such that students who complete the program have reached a level of training equivalent to, if not superior to virtually any other anthropology Master's program in the country.
The entire Master's Degree Program is tied to an evening course schedule thereby offering a unique educational resource in an urban area where the majority of potential graduate students are self-supporting and hold full-time jobs. Hunter's comparatively modest fees also serve to attract students who would otherwise never be able to afford graduate education. Many of these students have proved to be our most capable, and working with them represents one of the genuine satisfactions of teaching at Hunter.
The Department is also committed to involving graduate students in ongoing faculty-supported research, and in encouraging independent student-initiated research projects. We are by no means content to see students only in lectures, and try to convey that the most interesting parts of their training may happen outside the classroom. The Department further emphasizes the development of scholarly writing skills and, in concert with College policy, we encourage writing and research assignments wherever possible.
Admissions Policy
The Department of Anthropology at Hunter serves one of the most diverse urban centers in the world, and attracts students from a growing number of foreign countries and most parts of the United States. Applicants thus often come from unusually cosmopolitan backgrounds, and our admissions policy is adjusted to a high degree of variability in level of training and prior background in anthropology. Our admissions system-- administered by the College's Graduate Admissions Office-- is two-tiered: highly qualified applicants with strong backgrounds may be accepted system directly into the Master's Program as "matriculated" students. Highly motivated applicants who have little previous background in anthropology are occasionally admitted with "non-matriculated" status. After completing one to three courses with grades of "B" or higher, non-matriculated students may apply to the Master's Program. Admission with non-matriculated status is in no way a guarantee of admission to the Master's Program.
Matriculated (Degree-Program) admissions are based on student transcripts, letters of recommendation, and Graduate Record Examination scores. The Graduate Advisor attempts to arrange an interview and departmental tour with local applicants whenever feasible, and we attempt to judge applications on their individual merits. Many applicants, for example, have little or no previous experience in anthropology, but hold graduate degrees in related fields. Such evidence of academic success in graduate work generally carries considerable weight. For applicants who have been out of school for some time, the nature of job experience is clearly important (we have acquired several excellent graduate students employed by the United Nations, the Museum of the American Indian, and the American Museum of Natural History). We are also careful to examine transcripts for consistent time trends. An uninspiring cumulative grade point average occasionally conceals excellent academic performance in the latter portion of an undergraduate program.
It if often the case, however, that an applicant shows promise, but lacks a record strong enough to allow immediate admission to matriculated status in the degree program. Such students are advised to apply for non-matriculate, non-degree status. Satisfactory performance as a non-degree student may serve as a basis for later admission as a degree candidate. Non-matriculated students admitted in this way are allowed to transfer up to 12 credits for full graduate credit (grades of B or above only). Non-matriculated status may also allow an uncertain student to test the waters before making a full commitment to graduate study. Non-matriculated students still must meet at least twice yearly with the departmental graduate advisor to discuss their progress, plan future course work, and obtain written approval for specific graduate courses.
Degree Requirements
The Department of Anthropology maintains stringent requirements for its Master's Degree. These include completion of 30 credit hours of course work, required introductory courses in the four subfields, a statistics or language examination, and a master's thesis. Students who may have a substantial undergraduate background in a particular subdiscipline may be exempted from the graduate introductory course by successful completion of a a special examination. Students must receive a grade of B or above to have a course count toward their Master's Degree.
Statistics and Language Examinations
The Department requires a basic working knowledge of descriptive and inferential statistics or an ability to read scholarly work in a major non-English research language. Open-book statistics and language examinations are offered once each semester and may be repeated until satisfactory performance is attained. They are administered by the Graduate Advisor and graded by an appropriate faculty member. In recent years students have taken language exams in Bulgarian, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. On rare occasions, and at the discretion of the Department, students who are educated native speakers of a language other than English (as demonstrated by the completion of high-level secondary or university training in a non-English-speaking institution abroad) may be exempted from the language examination.
Advising and The Master's Thesis
One of the departmental graduate advisor's most important responsibilities is maintaining communication with students. This involves a good deal of regular contact: ensuring that students fully understand requirements, alerting them to courses of special interest (or those needed to correct individual deficiencies), helping them move through the program as smoothly as possible by fulfilling the degree requirements in a timely fashion, and monitoring student feedback on courses taken and desired in the future.
In addition to a minimum of two interviews a year with the graduate advisor, graduate students are required by the end of their third semester to have established a working relationship with one or more other faculty members, who then act as the thesis advisor and general mentor. The thesis advisor then selects a second reader (not necessarily from the Hunter faculty or from the Anthropology Department) when the work reaches the first draft stage if not before. The departmental graduate advisor is an ex officio member of all Master's thesis committees.

Bears rout Jaguars
Jacksonville, FL – Jay Cutler had two touchdown passes and the Chicago defense returned a pair of interceptions into the end zone as the Bears crushed the Jacksonville Jaguars, 41-3.
Cutler went 23-for-39 with 292 yards and an interception, while Brandon Marshall had 12 catches for 144 yards and a score for the Bears (4-1), who have won their past three games. Matt Forte finished the game with 107 yards on 22 carries and also had two catches for 20 yards.
"I thought he played well like he's been playing," Bears coach Lovie Smith said of Cutler. "Jay's put two good weeks together back-to-back like our offense has. Jay's as good as anyone out there, simple as that."
Blaine Gabbert was 17-for-33 with 142 yards and two interceptions for the Jaguars (1-4), who have dropped their past two games. Maurice Jones-Drew carried the ball 12 times for 56 yards in the loss.
"I wish I was standing up here in a better situation, but that's not the case," said Jacksonville head coach Mike Mularkey. "I told the team that I don't no how that happened, especially after a 3-3 half and playing some good football. The way it escalated out of control is unfortunate."
The game was tied at 3-3 at the end of the first half, but it was all Chicago in the second.
Starting the third quarter with the ball, the Bears ate up over nine minutes of the clock on a 17-play, 64-yard drive. They only came away with three points, though, as Robbie Gould's 31-yarder gave the team a lead they would not relinquish.
On the second play of Jacksonville's ensuing drive, Charles Tillman stepped in front of a short pass and took it back 36 yards for a score and a 13-3 lead with 5:04 left in the third.
On the first play of the fourth quarter, Cutler found Alshon Jeffery in the end zone from 10 yards out to cap a nine-play, 67-yard drive as the Bears made it a 20-3 game.
Chicago continued to pour it on. On its next touch, Cutler lofted a pass into the right corner of the end zone, where Marshall came down with the ball for a 24-yard score and a 27-3 game with 8 1/2 minutes to play.
Moments later, Lance Briggs picked off Gabbert and took it into the end zone from 36 yards out, while Armando Allen's 46-yard run -- the first touchdown of his career -- with under two minutes to play turned the game into a rout.
Chicago's second possession of the game saw the team go 77 yards and Gould cap the 12-play drive with a 32-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.
The Jaguars responded with a long drive that went into the second quarter. The series stalled at the Chicago 13, and Josh Scobee booted a 31-yarder between the uprights to tie the game less than a minute into the period.
Jacksonville was driving later in the second and got down to the Chicago 21, but Gabbert fumbled the ball on a sack and Chicago recovered.
However, the Bears were unable to take advantage of the turnover and had to punt, but it was with 12 seconds left and Gabbert took a knee to end the half.
Game Notes
Both teams have off next week. Chicago will host Detroit in Week 7, while Jacksonville will play in Oakland ... Chicago has won three of its last four games against Jacksonville ... Chicago controlled the ball for a full 36 minutes and outgained Jacksonville, 501-189, in total yards.

tickle (one's) fancy(redirected from tickle your fancy)
tickle (one's) fancy
To be appealing or pleasant to someone; to be intriguing or of interest to someone. A: "Do you want to go to a movie later on?" B: "I don't know, there's nothing that really tickles my fancy in theaters right now." I'm not going to declare my major until I've had a couple years in college to see what ends up tickling my fancy.
tickle someone's fancy
to interest someone; to make someone curious. I have an interesting problem here that I think will tickle your fancy. This doesn't tickle my fancy at all. This is dull and boring.
tickle one's fancy
Appeal to one, be to one's liking, as in That joke tickled my fancy. This term uses fancy in the sense of "liking" or "taste." [Second half of 1700s]

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong: The Dark Traditions of Phil Everly
My connection to the Everly Brothers goes way back. My mother was an Everly Brothers fan. I remember her playing them in the house and hearing songs like "Bye Bye Love" and "Wake Up Little Susie."
The Everly Brothers' harmonies are so immaculate. You can tell that they're brothers and have been singing together basically since birth. They improved on the whole craft of singing harmony, and their harmonies are pretty much better than everybody's.
Their 1958 album "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us"– I thought it was just so dark. They sounded like angels or spirits singing these really dark murder ballads and old southern hymns and folk songs that go back to the 17th century. It was just so different for them being rock and roll stars at the time to then take this turn looking at their family history and singing these songs. It was impressive.

I don't know how to start this. My heart hurts every day for the mistake I made that I can never take back. I cry every day and hope that my son can forgive me for the uneducated decision that I had no right to make on his behalf.
January 2011, my son was born perfect. My labor was unmedicated and fairly quick. I was proud of myself and my lil babe for doing so well. He was 8lb 3 oz of gorgeous chubby baby! He nursed right away and was very happy. My jewish husband always assumed that our son would be circumcised. I never questioned it. I didn't know I should. I didn't think there were risks. I was so ignorant. I hardly even thought about the procedure until that day.
I have 4 younger brothers. Two are circumcised & 2 are not. My mother never really explained too much about it, she just said that my grandfather wanted his grandsons circumcised and then when she had the younger 2 boys she didn't want it done. The only experience I'd ever heard about the care of any of my brothers penis', was my youngest. I can remember at least 5 times in his childhood when he'd had an infection. He would cry and say his penis hurt. It would be red and inflamed. And my mother told me it was because the opening of his foreskin wasn't big enough when it was separating from the glands? I never thought too much about it at the time, but 8 years later, when I found out I was having a son, I remembered my brother's hard times and I sure didn't want that for my son.
So when the doctor came in to talk to us about our son's circumcision, all I could think about was how this was the safest best option for him in the long run. I asked the doctor how many he had performed before and begged him to be careful because my baby only gets one penis & there was no going back. He joked that this was his first, then reassured me that he had performed hundreds before and he would do just fine.
He even almost tried to tell me it was an unnecessary procedure, but he sure didn't warn us of any risks or any dangers. We had asked permission for my husband to be present to say the Jewish prayer while they performed the circumcision. There was no way I could've been in that room, I said. Now I wish I was, because I'm sure I would've stopped it! I can not imagine seeing my perfect baby strapped to a table...
My husband was in the room while they physically and permanently mutilated our son. When my son came back to the room, he wouldn't nurse. I asked if this was normal and they assured me it was. They assured me he didn't cry and everything went perfect. They used something called a plastibell and told me it was safer. A plastibell circumcision leaves part of the plastic ring on the head of the penis for healing. It falls off on its own around the same time as the umbilical cord. I asked about how to care for it and they told me not to put anything on it!
I was surprised because I did remember a friend having a son not that long before and she said something about lots of vaseline. But I asked again and they said the plastibell required no extra care and not to put anything on it, it would heal on its own. Not to wipe it with a wipe, but drip a little warm water on it from squeezing a wet paper towel. That's it. No further instructions, no warnings, nothing to look out for, not how to care for it after the plastibell fell off. Sent us home...
So the first week was "fine". But when the plastibell ring started to fall off unevenly I got nervous. I called everyone I knew that had a son and asked if they were circumcised with a plastibell and if this was normal. A friend of mine stopped by who had 2 sons who had this type of circumcision and said it looked "normal". At our 2 week check up the Dr said it was ok and not to worry. Still said we shouldn't be putting anything on it. So when the ring came all the way off I was relieved. Everything seemed to be alright? But I've never taken care of a circumcised penis before! I noticed there was still enough foreskin to cover the head of his penis. Once a day I would pull it back just a little to wipe it clean. I never pulled it back too much because I didn't want to hurt him. Everything seemed fine.
At about 3 1/2 months I noticed a small part of the remaining foreskin was reattaching to the head of my son's penis. When I asked the Dr about it at his 4 month visit, she said not to pull it apart because it would cause scarring and cause him pain in the future. So I was sure not to pull it apart! Well then I started to notice it attaching more. Every time I talked to my mother about my concerns, she would tell me I was "obsessed with his penis" and she was sure it was fine. This of course made me feel worse. Was I "obsessed"? I don't know. How could I not notice it? I changed him 10 times a day!
We saw a different Dr at our next visit and he told us to separate it, but I was concerned about scarring like the other Dr had warned us about. So I did not. I started to do some research online. From what I've read, it seems like he has penile adhesions. Some sources say to separate it at home and some say he'll need surgery.
At about 8 months I took him to a ND because I wanted to try out a more natural health care provider. Even though it was going to cost me $200 out of pocket for our 1st visit, I was excited to talk to someone more on my page. When I called to make the appt and spoke to the ND on the phone, she assured me that she could address every question I had, including his circumcision. Well I was extremely disappointed with our visit. Not only were we rushed and hardly had enough time to remember all my questions, but when she looked at his circumcision, she said "I think it looks ok, but I'm not a penis expert" Really? Ugh, we never went back.
A few months later I made an appt with our Dr for a referral to a urologist. I wanted to talk to someone who looked at penises all day. I needed an answer! Our Dr wouldn't give us a referral. She said if he wasn't in pain, not to worry about it. She said to give him a warm and then gently separate it and then apply vaseline. At this time he was 10 months old. He would not sit any kind of still for me to try to separate it. I still try on a daily basis. It is only an uncomfortable situation. I am terrified of making it worse, but don't trust the Dr's to help us. I am terrified that he will need another surgery to correct this!
He is now a year old. I am going to make another appt with our Dr to try to get a referral to an urologist again. I don't know if I will trust what they say if we do get the chance to go after all the different answers.
He is my perfect little guy and I am so mad at myself for putting him through this. I feel like a failure of a mother! How could I not protect him. How could I just let them do a surgery on my one day old PERFECT baby without doing any research???? I am so angry at myself, I can't stand it. I make myself sick to my stomach wishing I could go back to that day and change things.
Has anyone had their son go through this? What was the outcome? I feel so lost and don't know who to trust.
I have permanently mutilated my perfect baby boy. I regret it with my whole heart and soul."

The objective of this project was to increase the protection of objects placed in display cases or other microenvironments from air pollutants.
The project had three main research activities. These included:
- literature research and materials characterization, which involved collecting adsorbents and their literature and developing a deep understanding of the materials' physical chemistry and properties;
- measurement of capacity and breakthrough curves for selected pairs of pairs of pollutants and adsorbents—specifically, two acids at three different relative humidities with 18 adsorbents;
- rank the adsorbents' performance for each acid and humidity, and derive a final figure of merit value predictive of adsorption behavior at any relative humidity.
The last thirty years have seen increased interest in the role pollutants play in the deterioration of works of art indoors and within indoor microenvironments. Much work has been carried out in designing hermetically sealed display cases with inert materials and in the use of barrier films to restrict materials off-gassing (see "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" by Jean Tétreault). However, the use of adsorbents to intercept pollutants—matching adsorbent capacities to specific gases and determining how long these materials last—had never been systematically explored.
The most commonly used adsorbents adapted for microenvironments have been those borrowed from museum air conditioning filtration applications. These are classic high performance media but because they pose a potential soiling problem in close proximity to delicate artifacts, conservators can benefit by having more options available to them. This project has sought to broaden those options. Even absorbents whose capacities are low, when it is possible to use them in larger quantities, may have attributes such as humidity buffering that makes them unique for certain applications.
The Performance of Pollutant Adsorbents project had several research objectives, which included:
- measuring the adsorption capacity of selected zeolites, activated carbon, potassium permanganate impregnated alumina, potassium hydroxide impregnated activated alumina/carbon, silica gel, normal precipitated calcium carbonate, microporous calcium carbonate, and five types of clays to acetic and formic acids;
- determining capacities with standard breakthrough curve measurements, thermal desorption/mass spectrometry (TG/DTA/MS), and elemental analysis;
- conducting exposures using calibrated diffusion and permeation devices as well as carboxylic acids in saturated salt solutions at 30 percent, 50 percent, and 84 percent relative humidity;
- determining desorption rates for many physisorbents in clean air at 50 percent RH andfor the more important adsorbentsmeasure the specific effects of high humidity on pollutant desorption;
- from these individual exposure experiments, ranking all adsorbents and awarding a figure of merit for overall expected performance, under the range of conditions tested.

| 13.1°C Belfast
A Labour front-bencher is acting similar to gloomy donkey Eeyore by "scaremongering" about cuts to households struggling with their bills, an energy minister said today.
Shadow energy minister Jonathan Reynolds warned that less would be done to help insulate homes in or at risk of fuel poverty following reductions to the Energy Company Obligation (Eco).
He told MPs no more than 25,000 solid wall insulation jobs would take place each year compared to 80,000 jobs in recent years.
But Energy Minister Greg Barker insisted the Opposition was concentrating on the minimum number of jobs that could be carried out rather than taking into consideration other programmes to help insulate homes.
The Eco project ensures energy companies help improve the energy efficiency of homes but the Government announced changes in the Autumn Statement as it seeks to limit price rises in energy bills.
Speaking during energy questions, Mr Barker told Mr Reynolds: "I'm afraid you are scaremongering slightly about the solid wall industry.
"The fact of the matter is the figures you referred to are the de minimis, they are not the maximum, it is the de minimis.
"There are other ways in which we will be installing solid wall, not least working with our cash back. I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the cash back, where we're now offering up to £4,000 for solid wall insulation under the roll out of the Green Deal.
"This has been very warmly welcomed by the industry including the National Insulation Association.
"So perhaps you could join us in supporting the supply chain in talking up this market rather than acting as a little bit of an Eeyore."
Mr Reynolds had told the minister: "Over half the people in this country in fuel poverty live in solid wall properties. A significant number of those are people living off-grid in rural communities.
"Again the changes announced to Eco in the Autumn Statement mean that no more than 25,000 solid wall jobs will now be done a year when a few years ago it was 80,000 jobs a year being done.
"So can I ask you if you really do intend to tackle fuel poverty in off-grid areas, how can you do that without an adequate solid wall insulation industry?"

The Mini Franklin
The Mini Franklin Gas Heater
Designed to solve the problem of heating small spaces comfortably!
The Mini Franklin gas heater is designed to heat just one room. It will serve as (1) a beautiful piece of furniture, (2) a small fireplace, and (3) a source of warmth to take the chill off.
• Its 8,000 BTU heat output is perfect for a cozy, intimate area
The "Mini Franklin" gas heater will bring warmth, grace, and style to any room setting. Its small fire will add ambiance and though it is just 17" tall, it will produce almost 8,000 BTU/hr!
|NOTE: Like our other gas stoves, the Mini Franklin is a direct-vent stove, and requires direct-vent pipe, available from Woodstock Soapstone Company, for installation. It is not a "ventless gas stove".
Yes, it really is only 17 inches tall and it weighs just 72 pounds! And yes, it produces a lot of radiant heat, especially for its size.
People who saw the first, experimental versions of the Mini Franklin gas heater thought they were toys or a scaled-down version of bigger stoves. But when they saw the fire and felt the heat, they quickly recognized that it was real.
It's probably the only gas stove that can be shipped UPS. It's also the only gas stove truly designed to heat one room.
Invariably people who buy a gas stove to heat one room find that it's too big. With gas stoves, bigger is not necessarily better. If you purchase a gas stove that is too big, the amount of heat that it provides can be uncomfortable, and if it is thermostatically controlled, it just cycles on and off all the time.
The Mini-Franklin is sized to heat one room. If you want to heat just a bedroom, bath, study, or den, you'll find that the Mini Franklin will provide all the warmth, ambiance, and charm that you hoped for.
