Is It Necessary for Women to Play Hard To Get?
8 Rules in Dating Every Single Woman Should Follow
Dear April Masini,
Does accepting a date immediately upon being asked out make me come across as easy? I'm so confused.... Do I have to play hard to get and turn down dates? Please give me some dating advice so I can find the man of my dreams!"
Sincerely, Yes, Please
April Masini's Advice :
Dear Yes Please,
The simple answer to your question is no. You will not appear to be too easy if you accept a date upon being asked for the first time. What I do hear you asking, even though you haven't put it in words is, "How do I get a man to respect me, and how do I show him the kind of woman I am – without spelling it all out for him?" And this is a good question that lots of women ask.
Know Yourself First
The trick to being in a healthy and committed relationship with Mr. Right is to first and foremost know yourself, and know what you want in a man and in a relationship.
Wanting a hot guy is not enough to set you on the right track. Lots of hot guys will date you, but they may not want what you want in the long term.
Figure out if you want to just have fun now or if you want a committed relationship – one that leads to marriage. Do you want children? Do you want to live an urban life or a country life? Do you want a traditional marriage or a modern marriage? Do you want to work after you're married or after you have children or do you want to stay home? How often do you want to have sex? What kind of family relationship do you want to have with his family and your family?
Okay – obviously, you don't have to know the answers to all those questions right away, but you need to know what will work for you so you can figure out if a man you're interested in dating – or are currently dating – is going to make you happy, and if you're the kind of woman who's going to make him happy. Because a win-win situation is the best situation.
You can find out all this and more in my book, Think & Date Like A Man, where I address what men think and how they think. Most women don't understand this – and from the nature of your question, I think you're one of the women who would really benefit from my Man-Think quiz that's in the book. I teach you what men really think and what they want.
Men are Hunters Looking for a Prize
And that way, you can know and understand the details of the basic premise that men are hunters. They want to bring home a big prize – in their woman. They want a woman that they think other men want. They want to feel like you're the grand prize – and that they won you! That means that if you want to get a man – and dating is a numbers game so if packaging yourself like a product will increase your chances of yield – and that means your choices – you should become the best woman you know how to be. And for all the tips and advice on becoming that woman, read Think & Date Like A Man.
Once you become that woman, you will find yourself being asked out, and that is when your original question, "Will accepting a date upon first being asked make me appear easy?" becomes relevant. Accepting a date does not make you seem easy. What you should not do are:
- NEVER ask a man out on a date.
- NEVER propose marriage to a man.
- NEVER make the first move.
- NEVER give him a gift before he has given you one.
These tips are not arbitrary. They are tips that allow a man to be the man. When you ask a man out, or propose marriage, or make the first move, you're denying him the opportunity to ask you. Men are hunters, and if you hand him what he's hunting on a platter, rather than making him hunt (which he loves to do), you'll deny him from grabbing the prize – you!
More Tips:
- DON'T be too available.
- DON'T answer every phone call.
- DON'T return his calls or e-mails that same day. Wait a day.
- DON'T accept every date. Especially if he asks out for the next night or that same night. Be busy – and if you're not busy, get a life!

Pancakes – a family tradition
My dad makes the best pancakes! When I lived with my parents, my father made pancakes on Sunday evenings. I have not had my dad's pancakes in years, so I was excited when he announced that he was making them for Mother's day tea.
My dad has not lost his touch. He still flips the best pancakes. Especially when you add Canadian Maple syrup, cinnamon sugar, cream and a dash of fresh lemon juice.
4 Responses to Pancakes – a family tradition
Cool action shot! How many times was this practised? And on who's face did it land?
Mate I wish I could flip a pancake like this! I've tried it many times, much to the dismay of, well, my kitchen floor & roof mostly! Let alone the mess in the rest of the kitchen that I have to clean!
I can cook a great meal in many ways, but I can't do the basics like pancakes and rice! Dumb clumsy fuck that I am, being a drummer and all!
You gotta teach me!
You will have to ask my dad to teach you, he is the expert :-) However, I got this on the third shot, so not too bad! I have heard about you legendary cooking, still waiting to taste it…
Cool photo!I´ve still never ate a pancake but I think it´s the same or similary like a Eierkuchen or Plinsen here.Yummy!We eat pancakes(or Plinsen)here with apple puree or sugar&cinnamon.
It´s a great tradition of your family to make pancakes.
Steffi, I have just had a look at a few pictures of Plinsen, and yes they look very similar to me. It is a tradition that needs to be kept active more often; they really were very good!

Five states are deciding whether to legalize marijuana for adults this election. But there are some pot smokers in those states who are voting against these measures. They feel like medical/decrim is good enough. They complain it's not True Legalization™ since there will still be some marijuana crimes. They predict taxes and regulations that ultimately raise prices and increase arrests. They insist that better legalization is just around the corner in the next election cycle.
Based on the results of legalization in four states already, what can we tell those tokers about the future of marijuana in their state under legalization? What will convince them to vote in their own best interest and support marijuana legalization on the ballot in California, Arizona, Nevada, Massachusetts, and Maine? Here are three compelling reasons for pot smokers to vote yes on legalization:
Cheaper Marijuana Prices than Medical or Decrim
Oregon's BDS Analytics just released their report on the first six months of legal marijuana sales in Oregon. They report retail marijuana prices averaging $9.33 per gram (about $265 per ounce), with a 25 percent tax included.
Washington's BOTEC Analysis tracks the retail marijuana market there and finds the average retail price of marijuana to be close to the $9 per gram mark (about $255 per ounce), with a 37 percent tax included. That has declined over the past year from about $12 per gram as Washington's market corrected supply issues.
In Colorado, BDS Analytics reports average retail marijuana prices as low as $6.67 per gram ($189 oz) in April, with 4/20 specials as low as $5.77 per gram ($164 oz). That's down from $8.86 per gram when legal sales in Colorado began.
For comparison's sake:
- California's largest medical marijuana dispensary, Harborside Health Center in Oakland, has marijuana listed at $14 – $17 per gram ($397 – $483 oz).
- Arizona's Phoenix Relief Center has prices of $10 – $12 per gram ($280 – $341 oz).
- Nevada's Essence Cannabis Dispensary offers marijuana at $15 – $18 per gram ($426 – $511 oz).
- Dispensaries in Massachusetts and Maine don't list their prices, but the latest reports on PriceofWeed.com claim street prices between $260 and $339 an ounce.
Retired K-9's and fewer probable cause excuses = fewer busts for remaining crimes
You cannot un-train a dog from alerting to the smell of marijuana. Once marijuana was legalized, police in Oregon, Washington, Colorado, and Alaska had to retire their pot-sniffing K-9s. A dog cannot detect the difference between a legal gram of marijuana and an illegal pound of marijuana, so their alert to the smell of pot doesn't indicate a crime is being committed.
Even if the dog is trained to alert on cocaine, meth, and heroin, it's useless to cops, because a savvy drug dealer could just keep a gram of legal marijuana stowed with his illegal drug stash. If the dog alerts on the drugs, the dealer's defense attorney will get that evidence dismissed because the dog can't indicate whether it sniffed illegal drugs or legal marijuana.
Legalization also removes from the police their favorite method of bypassing your protections against unreasonable search and seizure – the claim that they can smell marijuana. When pot is illegal, any evidence of it by sight or smell is a reason for a cop to begin the investigation into your potential criminal behavior. Medical marijuana and decriminalization do not change that*.
With the elimination of most probable cause based on weed evidence, charges for the remaining marijuana crimes in the legal states plummet, such as possessing too much marijuana, growing too many plants, trafficking and selling without a license, etc. In Colorado, charges for all marijuana crimes dropped 80 percent. In Washington, they dropped 63 percent (presumably because they have no home grow and grow evidence is still probable cause).
420-Friendly Employment
With legalization comes a flood of new businesses that need employees with a background in cannabis. From the grows to the processors to the testers to the retailers, there will be hundreds or thousands of new jobs from employers who are unlikely to require pre-employment urine screening.
There are also even more jobs to be found in the ancillary industries that spring up to service the plant-touching parts of the industry, from packaging to tourism to software to media. These employers also will be more likely to offer non-drug-tested jobs.
Even the employers who are currently drug testing potential workers will begin to feel the incentive to drop drug testing as they keep losing the best talent to the marijuana industry and can't find any workers who'll pass their intrusive whiz quiz.
It should be a no-brainer for a pot smoker to vote "YES" on marijuana legalization. But for those lacking a brain, perhaps cheaper weed, retired drug dogs, and better jobs will convince them.
* Massachusetts' Supreme Judicial Court ruled recently that their decriminalization pre-empts the "I smell pot" excuse by cops, but only for "unburnt marijuana".

The waiting was over in York, where people's potter Grayson Perry visited the Yorkshire Museum for a teddy bear-festooned Museums at Night
Were it not for the kaleidoscopic smock and vertiginous lime heels of his alter-ego, Claire, or the bears dotted around the Yorkshire Museum during the afternoon, you could be forgiven for missing Grayson Perry's visit to York.

Swarmed by fans and autograph hunters, the real excuse for anyone not in attendance could have been the sell-out of all available tickets within two minutes of them going on sale.

Cutting the ceremonial ribbon to open the city's Museums at Night event – won in a hard-fought competition decided by public vote – Perry fixated his programme upon Alan Measles, the teddy bear he considers too precious to leave to his own devices these days.
"Alan Measles is the first thing I'd save in a fire," admitted the artist. "After my daughter."
Once the decorations and bear picnic had finished, Perry stepped inside to answer questions. "I don't hate the north that much," he conceded, proving a charming, acerbic and anarchic raconteur.
Among other important matters, the CBE and Turner Prize winner discussed celebrity. The sense of royalty surrounding his visit, he said, was tolerable given his capacity for anonymity once his female alias – and her unmissable sense of style – were dispensed with.

How to Get Tomato Plants to Produce Tomatoes
It can be frustrating to carefully nurture your tomato plants, only to have the fruit fail to set. Blossom drop and failure to set fruit can be caused by extremes in temperatures, too much rain, or high humidity. While you can't control the weather, there are other things that you can do to increase fruit set and tomato production.
Transplant tomatoes when the weather has warmed. Night temperatures below 55 degrees F cause blossoms to fall off before pollination, according to the Washington State University Extension. Use tomato-set hormones to increase fruit set during cold weather.
Plant tomatoes in a sunny location. Tomatoes require eight to 10 hours of daily sunlight for optimum fruiting. Under artificial light, reduce lighting to stimulate fruit setting. According to the Virginia Cooperative Extension, tomatoes will not set under too much light.
Test the soil fertility. According to the Virginia Cooperative Extension, too little or too much fertilizer can reduce fruiting. Too much nitrogen fertilizer stimulates excessive vine growth, with little to no fruiting. Likewise, too little nutrition and moisture stunts growth. Apply fertilizer as recommended by the soil test.
Water regularly, but be consistent and avoid over watering. According to the Washington State Extension Service, too much water can cause blossoms to drop. Approximately 1 inch of water weekly is needed. A 3- to 4-inch layer of mulch applied when the weather warms will help conserve moisture.
Keep the plants cool. When daytime temperatures rise above 90 degrees F, flowers are reduced and tomatoes fail to set. Night temperatures above 70 degrees F also reduces fruiting, according to the Virginia Cooperative Extension Service. In hot climates, plant tomatoes early in the spring and again in the fall, avoiding the hottest part of the summer. During hot, dry weather, use a shade cloth and keep the soil moist.
Pollinate flowers by hand if insects are not present or when the humidity is high. Shake the stem vigorously every other day, or brush inside flowers with a cotton swab or small paintbrush. Mid-afternoon is the best time for hand pollination.

Global Polyaluminum Chloride Market to Reach Above US$ 1,080 Mn by 2026; Demand for Water Treatment Chemicals Boosting the Global Market: Transparency Market Research
12 Jun, 2018, 11:00 BST
ALBANY, New York, June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
The global polyaluminum chloride market is anticipated to reach above the value of US$ 1,080 Mn by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of more than 5% from 2018 to 2026, according to a new report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled, 'Polyaluminum Chloride Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018-2026.' Polyaluminum chloride is a spectrum of versatile inorganic polymers. It is manufactured in both liquid and powder forms. The product is employed in various applications such as potable water treatment, industrial water treatment, pulp and paper sizing, and decolorization in the textile industry. Polyaluminum chloride offers several advantages such as high stability, low impurities, and less sludge generation.

Government Regulations regarding Clean and Safe Water for Drinking and Industrial Purposes to drive the Polyaluminum Chloride Market
Considering the safety of public health, governments of different countries have formed regulatory bodies to examine drinking water supplied to the public. These bodies primarily focus on water treatment to obtain safe drinking water. Numerous methods are available for treating potable water. Also, unregulated discharge of industrial and domestic contaminants has further driven the need for water treatment. Government regulations on potable water and industrial wastewater treatment have increased the demand for water treatment chemicals. This, in turn, is expected to drive the demand for polyaluminum chloride in the near future. Moreover, depleting fresh water reserves has generated need for wastewater treatment.
View in-depth table of contents for this report @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/report-toc/45375
The earth's surface comprises mostly seawater, which is unfit for human consumption. According to the NASA, several freshwater resources are being drained faster than they are being replenished. Demand for fresh or clean water is increasing rapidly in industrial and agricultural sectors. Additionally, accelerated growth of global population and increase in recycling/reuse of limited water resources in developing countries are boosting the water treatment industry. Poor farming practices, unregulated industrialization, and urban poverty have negatively affected water resources worldwide. Major factors contributing to water supply issues in urban areas are high growth of population, lower investments, and low availability of water resources. Thus, companies operating in the field of water treatment are expanding their operations to overcome water-related issues. Governments are also initiating programs to overcome water-related issues.
Easy Availability of Low-cost Water Treatment Chemicals
Alum is a common water treatment chemical used in water treatment plants. It is a readily available coagulant. Its cost is lower -than other water treatment chemicals. Polyaluminum chloride requires a less alkaline environment than alum. However, the cost of the former is twice or thrice that of the latter. This is anticipated to hinder the demand for polyaluminum chloride significantly during the forecast period.

Liquid and Powder are prominent Forms of Polyaluminum Chloride used for Water Treatment Worldwide
Polyaluminum chloride is available in two forms: liquid and powder. Out of these, the powder form segment accounted for a major share of the market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period, both in terms of volume and revenue. The liquid form is less expensive than the powder form; however, the powder form is easy to carry and it has properties similar to the liquid form. Also, the powder form has long shelf-life and it is easy to store. This is expected to be a key driver for the polyaluminum chloride market during the forecast period. Among applications, the potable water treatment segment accounted for the maximum share of the market in 2018 and is likely to remain dominant during the forecast period. Scarcity of fresh water and rise in concerns regarding impurities in drinking water are major factors boosting the demand for polyaluminum chloride in the potable water treatment segment.

Rise in Demand for Drinking Water in Asia Pacific anticipated to drive the Market in the Region
In terms of revenue and volume, Asia Pacific held a significant i.e. more than 30% share of the global polyaluminum chloride market in 2017. Asia Pacific is a densely populated region, due to which the demand for drinking water is high in the region. In addition, rise in industrial activities and implementation of norms regarding water treatment are driving the demand for polyaluminum chloride in the region. China and India constituted more than 60% share of the polyaluminum chloride market in Asia Pacific in 2017. These countries are expected to remain prominent markets for polyaluminum chloride between 2018 and 2026. After Asia Pacific, Europe and North America were major markets for polyaluminum chloride in 2017.
Consolidated Market for Polyaluminum Chloride with a few Companies accounting for a Major Share
The global polyaluminum chloride market is highly consolidated with a few global companies accounting for a major market share. Major players operating in the market are Kemira Oyj, Geo Specialty Chemicals Inc., BASF SE, Feralco Group, USALCO, Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Ltd., and Kanoria Chemicals & Industries Limited.

I bought this textured knit top from Fashion Express at the beginning of this season and it has fast become one of my favourite pieces in my winter wardrobe. If they had stock of the same knit in more colours, I'd definitely but them all. This type of outfit is one of my favourite winter outfits – I'll mix it up by wearing either boots or flat ballet pumps.
Saturday morning I decided to treat myself to a little bit of a shopping spree. I wanted to see what winter stock stores had on sale, but I ended up buying summer clothes. Take a look at my Instagram pics – there are some gorgeous summer items in store already! I can't wait for summer 🙂
What I'm wearing: Scarf bought in Istanbul / Knit from Fashion Express / Coral top from Cotton On / Brown satchel bag and black skinny jeans – both from Woolworths / Bronze cap toe flats from Legit
I like to dress comfortable when I go shopping, and to be honest there's nothing worse than shopping for new clothes in winter. So many layers to remove! Do you have a favourite outfit for winter? Chat to me in the comments 🙂

The health risks that passive smokers face may be far worse and much more unexpected than the illnesses that smokers suffer. Despite common belief, passive smoking is even more dangerous than mainstream smoking. The fumes that are emitted from the end of a cigarette contain chemicals that are concentrated cancer-causing agents and are actually worse than the chemicals that the smoker inhales. The filter at the butt of the cigarette protects the smoker from these chemicals; but the second-hand smoke involves extremely harmful, unfiltered substances. Thus, people who have never smoked, but are constantly around people who smoke, may be at a higher risk of suffering smoke related illnesses than the smokers themselves.
Passive smoking, or second hand smoking, occurs when a person breathes in Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS). ETS is a mixture of the smoke emitted from the burning end of the cigarette and the smoke that the smoker exhales. ETS has also been recognized as a known source of cancer by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The health effects of second hand smoking can be severe as thousands of harmful substances are detected in ETS.
Some mild effects of second hand smoking include chronic coughing, excessive phlegm, watery eyes, skin ailments, and a persistent sore throat. However, ETS can lead to much more severe illnesses, like cancer, respiratory diseases, heart diseases, circulation problems, and more.
When it comes to ETS in the workplace, it is the employer's responsibility to ensure the safety of each and every employee, including those who are at risk of second hand smoke from those who do smoke cigarettes. While smoking is a choice, second hand smoking isn't, except in the person's effort to stay away from it. Thus, employers must enforce some rules and limitations to protect the non-smokers who might face higher health risks without even being aware of it.
Is Smoking Permitted in Savannah, Georgia Workplaces?
Georgia law prohibits employees from smoking cigarettes in an enclosed workplace. However, some enclosed workplaces, like bars, restaurants, and clubs are exceptions to this rule. In indoor work areas, an employer can permit smoking in a designated room or in an area where the non-smoking employees aren't required to enter. This area has to be properly ventilated, and none of the air from this area should return to the non-smoking areas. There are no other specific accommodations that the law requires employers to make for non-smokers.
Can ETS Contribute to Occupational Illnesses in Workers' Compensation Claims?
An occupational illness is any illness that arises due to the employee's work related tasks or the environment that the employee works in. To prove that the illness you suffer from is an occupational illness, you must prove that you were exposed to the agent that caused your illness at work and that the agent was directly related to the work that you were assigned. However, smoking isn't a part of your job, and neither is second hand smoking.
This means that although you may have been exposed to ETS in your work environment, and you may have suffered from a major illness because of it, it is difficult to establish ETS exposure as an occupational illness, since it does not have a direct relation with the occupation itself.
However, waiters and bartenders who work in restaurants and bars which permit smoking in a common area, can be exposed to ETS on a daily basis, and as a part of their occupation. So, depending on your job, it may actually be possible for you to prove that the health effects of ETS in the workplace qualify as an occupational illness.
Filing a Workers' Compensation Claim for ETS Illness in Savannah, Georgia.
Although it is difficult to prove exposure to ETS as an occupational illness, it is not impossible to receive workers' compensation benefits for such a condition. People now have a wider understanding of the health hazards of exposure to ETS and the severe illnesses that it can cause. The chances of collecting workers' compensation for illnesses caused by second hand smoke are better now than they were in the past.
Any illness that is caused by continuous, long-term exposure to second hand smoke could be considered to be a work-related injury. Further, a room contaminated with hazardous smoke is not an appropriate environment to work in. The employer has a moral responsibility towards the workers to make the workplace a safe and hazard-free environment.
You can receive workers' compensation benefits if your illness is determined to be work-related, prevents you from working, and/or requires medical treatment. If you can work, but the exposure to ETS is slowly affecting your health and interfering with your work, then your employer can either make accommodations to prevent any further illness or provide medical benefits for any required treatment. Nevertheless, if the environment that you are working in is making you sick, then you should be able to file a claim for workers' compensation.
Contact Bader Scott Injury Lawyers to Learn More About ETS in Workers' Compensation Claims
In Savannah, Georgia, if you are a non-smoker and have been exposed to second hand smoke by the smokers in your workplace, then you may be entitled to receive workers' compensation benefits. Illnesses caused due to ETS are highly unexpected and confusing, since the person suffering might not have smoked a cigarette their entire life. However, the growing understanding of the hazards of exposure to ETS has made it easier for Savannah employees to fall back on the workers' compensation insurance in case of any ETS related illness.
If you have been harmed by the environmental effects of tobacco use at your workplace and wish to claim workers' compensation benefits, you will need to prove that your illness was caused by the environment that you work in. It can be difficult to find the required evidence and legal help will make the process easier. Contact the workers' compensation attorneys at Bader Scott Injury Lawyers to learn more and get the help that you need.

What is sewing?
Sewing also called tailoring is a process of stitching/fastening two pieces of fabric together with a needle and thread either manually or by using machine. It's a needle craft and very different from knitting, crocheting, embroidery etc. The work is mainly done for constructive purpose not only decorative purpose. For this purpose mostly people use patterns. Fabric is cut according to the pattern and then sewed to give desirable shape. Sewing can also be done for repairing purpose which does not need any pattern.
For a long time in history, sewing was done with hands. Then a revolution came in sewing industry when sewing machine was invented in 19th century. From 20th century computerization is also involved in sewing machines. These two things lead the sewing industry to mass production and innovation of Products.
Sewing can be simple or complex depending upon the required outcome and pattern to follow. These days there are many types of sewing. A hobby type of sewing is called "quilting". In quilting different pieces/colors of fabric are sewed together to make a beautiful look of any sewing pattern.
History Of Sewing:
Sewing art was existed in prehistoric era. Humans used to sew fur and skin of animals even 25000 years ago. Sewing remained an art of hand until sewing machine invented in 1790. Invention of sewing machine shifted most of the work from homemade to workshops and sewing industry. In 1850 a sewing machine was introduced by Isaac singer which was the first sewing machine that could work quickly and more accurately.
In those days sewing was a responsibility of female members of family. But slowly and gradually readymade clothing was increasing in markets. Cheap and slow sewing machines were replaced by more expensive and computerized machines with the passage of time. Further developments occurred during 20th century. Sewing machines became more affordable for working class and tailoring business became popular day by day. During late 20th century boutique culture became popular.
Computerized sewing and cutting machines changed the look of industry and sewing became innovative and creative. These days sewing industry is pursuing the quality and excellence of performance. A range of different sewing machines are used in industry for stitching seams, embroidery, buttonholes etc.
Types Of Sewing
Sewing can be categorized into two classes:
1. Plain Sewing: It is unlike fancy stitching. The purpose is to make or mend clothes. It could be household linens and garments manufacturing.
2. Fancy sewing: Patterns and designing is part of fancy sewing. It also includes techniques such as smocking, embroidery, shirring, quilting, etc.
Sewing For Beginners
A beginner who wants to learn to sew should first learn to deal with the operations or else sewing could get devastating for him/her. It's better to read some sewing books for beginners to know the basics of sewing like:
- We need to manage, how to place the garment or cloth on the bobbin trap below the needle. We need to know about various stitches and turnings.
• The main thing to know is how to start off with the stitches and finishing of the stitches.
• We should also know about the fabrics that should be used with a sewing machine, how to use the tape, how to measure the given sample dress, and many other basic sewing terms.
• Beginners who are very new to hand sewing should first of all learn how to do straight stitches in the fabrics, such as long stitch, small stitch, hem stitch, cross stitch, etc.
• Beginners before starting practically onto the machine stitches, first of all they should have skills and knowledge in all the above stitches by hand.
Directly starting on sewing machines would be dangerous. After you have some knowledge regarding sewing machines then you can proceed to the machine stitches. There are many websites that offer free sewing ideas for beginners and free patterns for them. It is very helpful to try some of these patterns. This will help practicing sewing and interesting patterns will keep the interest for learner.
Sewing Machines:
What is a sewing Machine?
Sewing machines are used to make clothing faster and easier than is possible by hand. A sewing machine is a machine that makes stitches to attach two pieces of fabric. They range from simple hand operated/ foot-operated/electric domestic machines to large, industrial computerized machines for mass production. The first sewing machine design was created by Thomas Saint in 1790 to make sails and other goods. Modern domestic sewing machines allow people to sew materials without using thimbles and needles. Industrial sewing machines are usually bigger and faster than domestic machines, and some can be used to sew tough materials also, such as leather.
Types Of Sewing Machines
Basic function of a sewing machine is to make a basic running stitch in same sequence, using two sources of thread. First needle at top go down with a thread. This thread is caught by the other thread in bottom. The feed dog (rough surface under cloth make the cloth forward and adjust next point to get stitched There are three major types of machines:
- Mechanical:
It is controlled by a rotary wheel on right side. There is a dial on front of machine that adjusts tension or length and width of a stitch.
2. Electronic:
This machine works when a pushing button is pressed. It has a motor to perform the duty of moving needle.
3. Computerized:
These days' sewing machines are required to perform a lot of function. For this purpose computerized machines is more helpful. A computerized machine has more motors with multiple functions. An inside computer coordinated all the pattern of sewing.
Machine could save a lot of time for you and you could sew a whole party dress in few hours. There are so many different types of machines for home, office and factory use, sewing machine for beginners.
Beginner's sewing machine could be manual or automatic for easy learning.
Basic Parts Of Sewing Machines :
The spool is a cylinder where a thread is wound for distribution. It is put on the spool pin located at the upper right part of the machine's body.
The thread from the main spool is then connected to a bobbin, a smaller spool that is put on the winder which is located beside the spool pin.
The case is where the threaded bobbin is secured for winding.
Thread Guide:
The thread guide is a hoop that guides the thread.
Feed Dog:
The feed dog is located underneath the throat plate. It moves the fabric forward beneath the needle. There are sewing machines that have a stitch length adjustment that controls the amount of fabric the feed dog moves.
It is a pedal where normally a person periodically stepped on to regulate the speed of the machine.
The sewing machine is provided with a bobbin on which you have to wind up the thread. This can be done by placing the bobbin on the bobbin winder which is a pointed projection near the small hand wheel.
First of all you have to pull out the thread from the spool and wind up on the bobbin with your hand and then fix it on the arm of the projection and then get started. Before getting started, make sure that the needle is not failing or moving while you are winding the bobbin by the pressing floor pedal or else the needle might break.
Best Sewing Machines For Beginners:
Sewing machines for beginners are easy to use sewing machines and very helpful in learning the initial stages of sewing techniques. Choice of sewing machine at early stages of learning depends upon many things. First of all it depends upon the type of sewing one want to be expert in. Some people wants to be expert in cloths other may have passion to become a quilter or fashion designer. So choices may be different according to future plans. However a beginner should find a best sewing machine. It's a major decision to invest money for a sewing machine so it's not good to spend too much money on simplest beginner sewing machine.
The type of sewing will best decide the machine type needed in beginning. There are many types of machines available in market. Two major and obvious categories are Simple machines and computerized machines.
Top 3 companies that make best sewing machines for beginners are:
- Brother
- Singer
- Janome
- Juki
Computerized machines with built in stitches and multiple options are very useful in stitching. Beginners may need to spend time to understand them but they will prove best beginner sewing machine afterwards.
Easy Sewing Projects For Beginners:
There are so many websites available that provide easy sewing pattern for beginners. A beginner can make a good practice by following these patterns. If there is not any special choice for starting than its best to start from home decor projects like cushions, pillows or wall hangings. Beginner sewing projects have very simple techniques but give a beautiful outcome to encourage for more learning.
Easy sewing projects for beginners are mostly about home decor. A pillow, a cushion, a curtain or a wall hanging would be good choice to start the work. Dresses require more confidence to sew and more expertise so avoid starting from a dress. A failure could decrease the interest.
Learn How To Sew:
A beginner should learn how to sew by starting from simplest techniques and then achieving higher levels one by one. Starting from complicated techniques can make the work boring and may exhaust the learner. A beginner wants to get easy and quick outcome so following simple patterns will help in keeping the desire of learning. Learning to sew can be a longer period than expected but it will depend on the time given to stitching every day.
It would be best to buy some sewing kits for beginners from market. Sewing kits contain all the basic tools for a beginner and gives a freedom to search for required equipment.
Better to start from easy sewing projects for beginners and after 10-15 starter projects try mid level projects.
A beginner needs a set of specific tools before formally starting their first sewing project. These tools can be obtained by purchasing a good sewing kit or by purchasing all with the help of someone experienced.
The Basic Sewing Kit Includes :
- Needles of different sizes
• Threads (Basic colors black, white, off white, grey etc )
• Safety pins
• Different buttons
• Scissors
• Thimble (optional)
• Measuring tape
• Tailor's colorful chalks
• Thread cutter
• Seam ripper
• Snap pliers
Complex projects may require more tool of sewing. Starting / making a project on computerized machine may take time to be familiar with behavior and working of computerized sewing machine.
Sewing threads are different from embroidery threads. An efficient sewing thread passes through stitching machine very smoothly without breaking or distorting. The basic work of thread is to provide aesthetic and performance in seam. Sewing threads are flexible and small in diameter.
Basic Stitching techniques:
Straight line sewing Technique:
Making straight lines in sewing is not an easy job. It takes time and a bit of practice and some useful help. One helpful tip is to use a ruler and with its help draw some lines on the fabric. Once it is done all you need to do is sew right over those lines. Make sure that the line made with ruler is followed properly with the normal movement of the fabric while sewing. Make an effort to stay within the lines. Once you are confident in doing this at a slow pace, try to speed up while maintaining accuracy.
Curved sewing:
Once you know how to sew straight lines on the fabric, sewing around curved lines becomes easier than it looks before. The trick behind learning this is to release the presser and re-adjust your fabric whenever you get stuck. Start same as we started off with the straight lines with the help of ruler, you can draw some curves lines along which to sew. Start with simple curves and progress to the more complex ones as you get better. Finally in the end, you will be able to sew complex patterns without any drawn lines. Although this may seem quite hard, you can come up with creative abstract designs which are not necessarily symmetrical in shape.
Back Stitch:
Basic backstitch is used to outline shapes in modern cross-stitch. Backstitch is ideal for following both smooth and complicated outlines. The back stitch can also be used as a hand-sewing utility stitch to attach two pieces of fabric together.
Easy Sewing Patterns For Beginners:
Sewing patterns provide step by step instructions to start and make a project. It also provides complete information about required supplies, tools, preparation time, size of completed product etc. A major benefit of using sewing patterns in beginning is, if pattern is exactly followed step by step the outcome will be exact and useful. Otherwise beginners have many useless products in start that are total waste of time.
Having multiple unsuccessful attempts can also make sewing a boring and tough job and beginner can lose interest in few days. So it is highly recommended for beginners to follow patterns at least in start.
There are many websites that provide free sewing patterns for beginners, mid level and experts.
beginner sewing patterns are of simplest type like one below that will help in learning sewing machine behavior, dealing with thread, keeping the stitching line straight and giving curves when desired.
Sewing Books:
Sewing books are easily available both online and in market. They have different topics like techniques for learning, fashion designing, quilting, home decor, easy or expert level patterns, updates on modern techniques or fashion etc. A beginner can learn a lot from eBooks on sewing.
It's not possible for everyone to join an institute or learn from any instructor. Sewing books takes beginners step by step like an instructor and makes many things easier.
Reading some books before starting learning to sew is very beneficial. It creates the interest and clarifies the mind about upcoming Problems and requirements. Sewing books also gives many DIY projects that can be made through junk cloth pieces at home and no need to purchase cloth for initial experiments.
Learners can find books about sewing machines too. These books will help in understanding the correct use of machine options and also help in taking care of machine.
Sewing Ideas:
Beginners are not very clear about uses of sewing so they need to find new ideas. These days internet made it easy to find innovative ideas for anything. Beginners sewing ideas can be easily found from YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook and hundreds of websites that offer free instructions, eBooks, patterns.
A beginner can find communities even of those people who are using same brands of sewing machines, or same type of sewing like quilting etc. Discussing the problems with other people and watching the projects made by others will increase the interest and skill.

As a viewer so rightly pointed out recently, a lot of tea drinking goes on in the British shows we air. If you're as curious as our viewer was as to the differences between high tea, afternoon tea and all the other tea times, here's the scoop:
Elevenses is what we call the drinking of a cup of tea as a pick-me-up in the late morning - about 11am. It's usually - or, more likely, always - accompanied by a biscuit - the sweet kind, such as a McVities or Chocolate Digestive, or a Ginger Nut, or a Bourbon, or a Rich Tea. As the biscuits tend to be dry and hard, they are often times "dunked" in the tea, to make them soften slightly. (Saves on sugar!)
Afternoon Tea usually takes place between 4pm and 6pm and consists of something a little more substantial than a biscuit. It's still quite delicate in appearance though. Along with a pot of loose leaf tea (English Breakfast, or Earl Grey for instance), which is served with milk and sugar, there are "tea sandwiches". The small, triangular, lightly buttered, crust-less, pieces of white bread are lightly filled with such things as cucumber slices, cress, egg, thin slices of ham, smoked salmon or cream cheese. Cakes and pastries are also served at this time of day. A Victoria sponge cake, for instance, which is a layered cake with jam and vanilla cream, or a nice piece of Battenberg, or Bakewell tart, a slice of fruit cake (often served with cheddar cheese), or jam, or lemon curd tarts. Scones with clotted cream and jam can also be served. If so, it's known as a "cream tea". A high quality "Afternoon Tea" at Harrods can set you back anywhere from $20-$50! For a less formal Afternoon Tea, a pastry such as a custard tart or piece of cake will suffice as an accompaniment to a cup of tea.
High Tea is typically eaten between 5pm and 7pm and is usually a hot meal such as sausage and chips, or beans on toast, for instance, accompanied by a nice cup of tea and lashings of bread and butter. A nice piece of cake generally follows.
Traditionally working class people in England - usually in the northern counties or Scotland, refer to what others call lunch-time as "dinner". It's sometimes their largest meal of the day and is eaten around 1pm. They then have their "tea" at about 6pm. The upper classes, on the other hand, call the midday meal "lunch" (or "luncheon") and the evening meal "dinner", which is usually served after 7pm. Meals that are consumed later in the evening are called "supper". All three, no matter how late the hour, are often taken with a nice cup of tea.
Nuncehon/Nuntion dates back to the Middle Ages and was the meal eaten between dinner (as in the evening meal) and supper.

A Little History
Ettore Bugatti was from a family of artists and considered himself to be an artist. Consequently, Bugatti cars were famed for their design beauty and for their many race victories. Famous Bugattis include the Type 35 Grand Prix cars, the Type 41 "Royale," the Type 57 "Atlantic" and the Type 55 sports car. Only 450 Bugatti Veyrons were produced in a span of over 10 years. This car is one of only 44 produced in 2006. After winning "Best Car Driven All Year" from Top Gear in 2005 and "Car of the Decade" award from Top Gear in 2010, the Veyron, as of 2013, also holds the title of "world's fastest production car. Top speed mode must be entered while the vehicle is at rest. Its driver must toggle a special top speed key to the left of their seat, which triggers a checklist to establish whether the car and its driver are ready to attempt to reach 253 mph.

Joe Danger is making a surprise appearance at gamescom. Following the release of the award winning PlayStation Network title, Hello Games have announced a sequel, with a working title of Joe Danger: The Movie.
Hello Games boss Sean Murray said:
It's kind of a sequel to Joe Danger, but it's also something entirely new. I guess I would say that the entire gameplay experience of Joe Danger on PSN, would be just one short scene in this 'film'.
We've kind of gone a bit crazy in terms of ideas and scope, or at least I really hope we have. If you liked Joe Danger, then I think it's going to rock your world. Even if you didn't like it though, this is different enough that we might just win you over. That's the idea, but like I say who knows, no one but us has seen it yet.
The new game starts with Joe Danger being discovered by a Hollywood Director and becoming a film stuntman.
Picture every film you've ever loved as a kid, from Labyrinth to Karate Kid to Robocop, all cut together into some crazy montage, and that's basically the script for our game.
PSN exclusive Joe Danger broke even on the first day, and was a critical and fan hit, so we can't wait to find out more about the game at this year's gamescom.

Do You Love to Sing?
**Special note: we are currently seeking :
bass --sings the lowest pitch and provides the foundation for the harmonic structure of the chord. Bass range is "C" below middle "C" to "G" above middle "C".
If this is your "specialty" we need YOU!
leads--sing melody . Range--"A" below middle "C" to a "C" about middle "C".
Other parts are always welcome, so please don't stay away!
If you are a woman who enjoys singing, you are welcome to visit our rehearsals at any time. Sweet Adelines provides fun, fellowship, and loads of music education.
Our chorus is committed to vocal and performance excellence. You do not need to know how to read music to be a Sweet Adeline. Since we sing a cappella (without instrumental accompaniment), you simply need to be able to sing one of our four parts with other parts being sung around you. We have many singers whose only experience has been church choir or high school chorus. We all learn together, taught by our excellent directors, as well as regular coaches with extensive experience in vocal production and presentation.
One of our primary activities each year is regional competition. It is here that we learn to perfect our art form by being judged by a panel of international-level musical and performance experts. Our chorus is committed to excellence and continued improvement. (Click here to see a video of Sweet Adelines at International Competition in October, 2010 in Seattle. Don't miss our own Audience Choice Award performance--SOS Safari-- at Regional Competition April 2014 (link on our HOME page/SIdebar).
Detailed information will be provided to you at each rehearsal that you attend as a guest. After attending four consecutive rehearsals as a guest, you are eligible to audition for the chorus.
We meet every Tuesday night at 6:45 p.m. in the Parish Hall at St. John's Episcopal Church 290 Old Haw Creek Rd, Asheville, NC 28805 We usually finish at 9:30 p.m. If you are coming for your first visit, we encourage you to arrive a few minutes early so that you may be introduced to our director and receive some information about the chorus. We look forward to meeting you and introducing you to our favorite hobby.
Song O'Sky rehearsals and performances are fragrance free since many people have allergic reactions to scented products like hairspray, dryer sheets, etc.
Also, in order to build vocal and physical stamina, our singers are expected to stand on the risers during the 2-3 sessions (and 30-45 minute performances). There is some break time and certainly chairs are available for those needing a quick time out, but if you have mobility issues that are a concern, please speak with one of us to see how we may be able to work around them.
Check It Out!!
Go to our Events Calendar for information about our upcoming activities and performances.

One leader, one voice, two countries
Our regular readers will know of our occasional musings on the similarities between Irish and American politics. Recent events provide an excuse to expand on this a little. To begin a long story with a short one, our point is that what both systems share is a dynamic driven not so much by competition between political parties, as one might expect in a democracy, but by the complete lack of dissent within the ruling party: Fianna Fail in the Republic, and the Republicans in the USA.
Viewed in this light, the frequently expressed frustration in the blogosphere (or its Irish equivalent, the boggersphere) towards the immunity of the respective governments to endless evidence of mendacity and incompetence becomes clear -- no-one within either party is willing or able to hold the leadership accountable. An obvious point, but one brought to mind by Washington Post journalist Jefferson's Morley thoughts on why the Downing Street Memo has failed to take off as a political scandal in the USA. [for the uninitiated, the DSM is a high level contemporaneous account from senior British intelligence figures in the summer of 2002 that Dubya had already decided on war with Iraq]. Morley says:
But a big part of the problem is that there are no voices in the majority party demanding accountability.
If there was, they would have gotten going long before the DSM came into the mix. By the way, among these silent lambs is John McCain, before anyone starts to get too excited about him running as a different kind of presidential candidate in 2008.
And the identical diagnosis applies to Ireland. We've noted before the easily documented record of flat-out lies told by our permanent party of government. Wednesday brought more evidence: a parliamentary committee where the majority simply decided to cover for the scandal-implicated former minister for health, and a pathetic attempt by the minister for justice to blame the opposition, in power for a brief period almost 10 years ago, for a police scandal that covers his entire time in government positions. The newspapers and the bloggers will be outraged, but there won't be a single voice raised within Fianna Fail in protest.
One reason for the silence on both sides of the Atlantic is that FF and the Bush Republican party excel at what Sinn Fein might call electoralism: effective manoeuvres for advantage at the polls. It's very far from a solid basis for government, but it certainly keeps them in power long enough to royally f*ck things up.
Speaking of royally, consider this irony. Of the three governments in the Republic, the UK, and the USA that were returned to power in the last few years, the one with the least share of the popular vote, Blair, is the one running the most representative government. At least in the sense that Labour was returned with sufficient dissent within the party that Blair has to be more cautious in policy and is more vulnerable to scandal than Bertie or Dubya are or ever will be.
So what's the solution? Well, in the Irish case we've already outlined the bobw reform program and even with the heroic assumption that we're right, there's still the more serious issue of the flaws exposed in the US system by Dubya. There, we just don't know, although we have a sneaking suspicion that the USA might be just too big for efficient government. Much as others worked furiously on proofs of Fermat's Last Theorem, we have some scraps of paper here aiming to show that the optimal size of country is 50-75 million people. Proof coming one of these decades.

Staying hydrated in the summer is important. Proper hydration during Ramadan even more so. Hydration doesn't only come from what we drink but also what we eat. Check out this yummy, healthy and hydrating roasted broccoli and green pea soup.
1 head broccoli, taken apart
450 gr greens peas
2 small bok choy, can be omitted. I added them because I needed to use them up.
1/4 small red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1.5 cups water or veggie stock
1 cup oat milk, or alternative
1 tsp spicy chili oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Lay the broccoli florets on a covered baking sheet and drizzle in olive oil and sprinkle on some salt. Bake at 175c for 25 minutes.
In the mean time, sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil. Once sweated lower the heat and add in the bok choy and green peas, keep on low with the soup pot covered, five minutes before the broccoli is done add in the oat milk and water/stock. Put on medium high heat and add in the broccoli. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and then blitz until combined. Do not over mix.
This makes about 8 cups of soup with can be portioned and frozen for future use. I like to freeze soup to make lunch prep easier. Enjoy!
