FFG is known for its quality of game components (often enhanced with highly detailed plastic miniatures and beautiful artwork), innovative gameplay, professional dedication to customer service, and a cutting-edge online presence providing information and support for its many products.FFG's best-known titles include games based on licenses such as Star Wars, A Game of Thrones, and The Lord of the Rings, proprietary titles such as Arkham Horror and Descent: Journeys in the Dark Second Edition, as well as re-releases of classic titles such as Cosmic Encounter, Fortress America, and Dungeonquest. In 2008, FFG formed an exclusive partnership with industry-leading, UK-Based Games Workshop ("GW"), to represent its acclaimed IPs (Warhammer and Warhammer 40K) in the hobby games market, publishing new versions of classic titles such as Talisman and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay as well as original games such as Warhammer: Invasion and Only War.
FFG's business is a global one, with the majority of its revenues generated from international sales.
It is 3072, and holy Jihad rages in the Inner Sphere. Soon after they launched their Jihad in 3067, the mystical Word of Blake sprung out from their base on Terra and claimed dozens of worlds, creating a Word of Blake Protectorate.

Down-home South Carolina boys playing unoffensive,very enjoyable,heartland style rock.Hootie offered an alternative to the morose,moody stylings of grunge in the world of rock/pop in
the mid '90s and turned out to have one of the best-selling albums in US history with this 1994 debut,"Cracked Rear View".
Now I know that it's "against the rules" for a credible music
fan to display love towards a unabashed mainstream pop act but
I happened to like Hootie's brand of feel-good frat boy rock!:-)
"Time",the lovelorn hit "Let Her Cry","I Only Want To Be With You",and the criminally overplayed "Hold My Hand"-all down-home,
Americana-styled pop/rock songs that are as easy and cozy as a Southern breeze.
Those who bash Hootie seem to be missing the point.They never seemed to proclaim themselves as intellectual rockers

When we left our plucky halfing assassin last week, he was about to shoot a dangerous human hero with a nasty poisoned needle… Remember, all images can be enlarged by clicking on them. Inck sucked in a lungful of dank dungeon air, pressed his lips to the blowgun, and exhaled mightily. The curare needle flew out of the tube, cut through the gloom, and embedded itself in Terence's unprotected throat. The big human yelped, more in irritation than agony, and started towards Inck, somehow able to see the little halfling in the shadows. However, he only managed two steps before…

We have to go undercover into shops, speak to sales staff, buy and try products and speak to customer service teams to uncover the objections our visitors face online.
When we delve into the offline world and go beyond surveys and analytics we can find out the hidden causes of abandonment online, remove them and improve our conversion rates.
Here are four simple techniques for finding those hidden gems...

Nobody likes filling out forms. They are a constant source of frustration for consumers, but even more so when they fail to take account of the various idiosyncrasies in name and addressing conventions used all over the world.
I have come across countless examples where the web form has been designed without the user's country in mind.
Simple, silly mistakes that could easily be fixed end up costing businesses millions in lost revenue.

Over a third of shoppers increased the amount of online shopping they did over the last year, so it is more important than ever for retailers to provide an outstanding ecommerce experience.
When an online shopper clicks 'checkout' they generally have the intention to buy, yet drop-off rates at this final stage can be high with three in five abandoning their baskets.
Consumers aren't afraid to go elsewhere if they encounter issues at any stage in the checkout process though, so it's vital for retailers to get it right.

As it's one of Australia's most successful grocery retailers, you may expect Woolworths to have an excellent e-commerce site.
In other markets major retail brands such as Tesco and Walmart have proven that online shoppers are integral for continued sales growth in the digital age.
But for reasons unknown, Woolworth's doesn't seem to have kept its site up-to-date.
To highlight some of the more obvious usability issues, we asked WhatUsersDo to run several user tests using its Australian panel.
Here are some of the findings, as well as my own observations...

Mega Monday, Cyber Monday, the day for flurried transactions, huge site traffic and flash sales. Whatever you call it, the much-discussed day has passed with a significant boost for online retailers.
The results for the 2012 holiday season have, so far, been promising. Retailers on our platform saw this Sunday nudge Cyber Monday off the top online shopping day spot as far as revenue is concerned, but both days performed exceptionally well.

Womenswear retailer Bonmarché has launched a new website as it attempts to reinvent itself as a multichannel retailer.
After buying the business out of administration earlier this year, the new owners are hoping that an e-commerce platform will help the brand achieve sustainable growth.
Several high street retailers, including Game and Comet, have gone to the wall recently, partly due to a failure to come up with a successful e-commerce strategy.
With this in mind I decided to see whether Bonmarché's new site, built in partnership with Venda, is actually any good...

Checkout abandonment is a major problem for most e-commerce sites, but many of the factors causing customers to bail on purchases can be addressed.
Reasons for abandonment include high shipping costs, checkout errors, and the fact that some customers simply want to check prices.
Here are ten ways to improve the e-commerce checkout process, and minimise abandonment rates...

On the Econsultancy blog we often highlight examples of websites that offer a great user experience as it's useful to be able to see good design in practice.
When it comes to checkouts, we've used ASOS and Quiksilver to demonstrate how the process should be optimised to reduce basket abandonment and increase conversions.
And we also think it's useful to highlight examples of brands that aren't getting it right and could do with redesigning their site to improve the user experience.
QVC falls into this category. Its checkout process feels like it hasn't been updated in several years, and there are several major issues that could be causing lost sales...

For online retailers, closing a sale can be a tricky process. From attracting a would-be customer to your site to fulfilling an order in an efficient manner, there are a lot of potential points of failure.
One of the biggest such points is the checkout process, which gives customers plenty of opportunities to rethink their purchases.
Unfortunately for retailers, getting the checkout process right can be challenging, and there are numerous mistakes that can produce a less-than-optimal result.

No, it's not common at all.
The statement was one of those "true, but very misleading" because it implies that most of the gov't workers fall into that category. They don't.
I would bet that most of the posters on this site couldn't meet one of the basic requirements for that grade -- a degree.
That statement is one of the inflammatory ones people like Rush or Beck make. And then gloss over the fact that the bulk of the workers don't fall into that category and that as a matter of fact,
neither Rush nor Beck would be qualified for that position unless they could get a waiver.
There are a lot of shipyard guys here...how many GS-11's you figure there are at the shipyard? In relation to the other grades and scales?
A degree is not required for GS 10, 11, or 12. Simply "Specialized Experience" in that field.

We stayed here on our anniversary and enjoyed our stay. We stayed in a standard room, which was quite cosy. The resort is very close to the beach which is quite clean and uncrowded as compared to most of other beaches in Mumbai. The swimming pool is nice and there are indoor activities for kids (which we didn't use). The restaurant offers good buffet meals. One can visit water kingdom and essel world which are closeby across the creek.

Stayed 2 nights with many family on the weekend. The location was good for us as we dint want to travel long distance and Madh is a place which is in the city yet far away from hustle bustle. Resort faces and connects the beach too. Located not too much in the inerts so getting there is not difficult.. Buffet breakfast was good. Ala carte food was also good. Overall Good for City Breaks.

Northside Independent School District is requesting the RFID case involving a student's refusal to wear a district-issued ID badge be taken to federal court.
The case was set for this morning at the Bexar County Courthouse, but now a federal judge may hear the arguments. NISD Spokesman Pascual Gonzalez said the district's attorneys felt it was the proper avenue due to the plaintiff's constitutional violation claims.
Bexar County is offering classes to help certain small construction businesses get a leg up in securing contracts for new business or increasing their business.
The program is being offered to help the small construction industry business learn about the bonding process for contractors. The information offered can help businesses overcome industry challenges to help them gain surety bonds or increase their current bonding capacities.
The program is free to owners of construction-related businesses that meet minimum size, sales, and activity criteria.
Their accounts of violence, oppression, and danger will astonish you, but not more than their determination to survive and thrive. Every year, San Antonio sees hundreds of refugees settled in the city. Strangers in a strange land - how well are these lost people getting along?
A special project from the UTSA Advanced Policy Social Work masters class wanted to find out – and inform the city.
The Bush tax cuts are about to expire, effectively raising the tax rate for all Americans if congress can't make a deal and come up with a new tax plan by the end of the year.
Patrons of the San Antonio Library can now do their "virtual shopping" for books and other materials to check out more efficiently.
The activation of new website modules have created a more retail-like online experience for the library, taking the website from its colder, more data-driven appearance to make it feel more like you're really shopping.
The dirty Thanksgiving dishes have been washed, visiting family members have all gone home, and holiday decorations are starting to light neighborhood streets.
It's the start of another joyous season, and everyone knows – including retailers – that holiday shopping season is now in full swing.
Today the governor announced his appointment of San Antonio attorney John Steen as the new Texas Secretary of State, days after former Secretary Hope Andrade suddenly announced her resignation last week.
Update (Nov. 28, 2012): Court hearing has been moved to Federal Court - date to be determined.
A dispute between the Northside Independent School District and a John Jay High School student who refused to wear a tracking ID could be settled in court on Wednesday.
SAWS customers will likely see a 9.9 percent net rate increase on their water bills in the new year, thanks in large part to an increase in sewer overflows. The water utility is asking consumers to join them for upcoming community meetings to learn more about how to reduce costs.
San Antonio Water System has 5,000 miles of sewer pipe and Spokeswoman Anne Hayden said sewer spills have become so common that the utility must do more repair and clean-up than they have had to do in the past.
Part of the problem is consumer habits.

One 'Letter Of Credit' Shell Game Cons Multiple VARs
4:00 PM EST Fri. Feb. 01, 2013Jeff DeLoach thought he was careful. He was so sure that he'd taken every precaution.
But even when you think you're safe, you may not be, as the president of Quastar Computer International, an Alpharetta, Ga.-based solution provider, learned the hard way.
Quastar lost in excess of $200,000 in a fraudulent deal at the end of 2009, as part of what DeLoach believes to be a larger scam that ultimately cost at least four other solution providers more than $1.5 million in losses across the country. Quastar is in the middle of a court case regarding the incident and asked at the bequest of its attorney that the alleged fraudsters' names not be used. An FBI official declined immediate comment.
But DeLoach was willing to share the details of what happened to his company in the hope of protecting other solution providers from a similar fate. Two other solution providers reported to have fallen victim to the same fraudsters declined to comment on their experiences.
"If there's one person that can avoid the pitfalls of letters of credit, it would be worth it," DeLoach said.
In fall 2009, Quastar was approached by a company in Canada about purchasing some computer equipment. The company wanted terms and filled out a credit application. But Quastar doesn't provide terms to customers outside the U.S. and dropped the matter. However, the Canadian company was persistent and several months later came back to Quastar with a purchase order for CPUs, memory, monitors, laptops and some other equipment it claimed was earmarked for a new ski community outside Montreal.
To secure the order, the buyer put up a letter of credit through an American bank, which Quastar was led to believe was legitimate, DeLoach said.
"Our bank received confirmation that a letter of credit was in place. I'd done a lot of pre-calling of all parties. I called the bank, the two finance companies that were involved. And we had contact with what we'd believed to be the end user," he said.
Finally, Quastar had all the paperwork in place and the order was ready to be shipped. The only outstanding issue was something called an "original shipping compliance document." DeLoach was told by the buyer and one of the finance companies involved that the document of compliance was merely meant to ensure that the items received by the buyer were the items he paid for. Once the items were received, the buyer would sign the compliance document and Quastar would get paid.
"It was a confirmation that the goods that were ordered were received and were what was asked for -- that we didn't ship the wrong CPU or something like that. It was [supposed to be] provided by one of the finance companies," DeLoach said. "We did all this documentation. We shipped the goods."
As it turns out, the finance company did not provide the original shipping compliance certificate, and the buyer and the financing parties then contended it was a financing condition determined at their own discretion (not a shipping condition) behind the letter of credit. As a result, the products were delivered but no money was ever actually in place to secure the deal because the buyer and their financiers refused to provide the compliance certificate to Quastar, knowing this would prevent the drawing on the letter of credit to pay for the equipment.
Almost immediately, DeLoach began to worry. He started asking around and soon found that several other solution providers had been hit by the same scam at almost exactly the same time.
"We went after the company in Canada to track down our goods. They had disappeared," DeLoach said.
Quastar called authorities and the FBI got involved. "We discovered there are fronts that seek to buy and have computer equipment shipped through Canada, such as the equipment shipped in this case, in order to avoid detection by U.S. authorities or the end users. It is possible this is such a situation," he said.
Quastar now believes it was the victim of what has been described as an "additional document required" letter of credit scheme. In this type of scam, a buyer of goods and its financiers offer a letter of credit to unsuspecting sellers claiming the letter of credit can be drawn once the goods are shipped and, after the shipment, fraudulently withhold a critical document required in the transaction from the seller.
Quastar has filed a civil suit against one of the out-of-state finance companies that -- upon investigation -- was found to have ties with the freight-forwarding company also used by the purported Canadian buyer.
"We found multiple companies and believe that they're all related," DeLoach said. "When we realized we got duped, it was embarrassing. It wasn't until almost a year afterward that we discovered there was another party and then another and then more. It exploded into truly a fraudulent enterprise and we believe a criminal enterprise as well."
Quastar had closed orders using letters of credit transactions in the past, so the use of legitimate letters of credit wasn't a unique situation, though by no means is it a regular business practice, DeLoach said. That's why his company had proceeded as cautiously as it could.
"We had taken extra steps and contacted all the parties involved, to make sure we had what we needed to get it done. You've got emails and other communications -- but the whole time it was vapor," DeLoach said.
Unlike other kinds of fraud in the channel, such as bustouts and stolen identities, the letter of credit scam is much harder to sniff out right away, DeLoach said.
"The one question I've asked myself a thousand times is this: Is there anything we could have picked up on that would have prevented me from pursuing this? Reasonable and cautious sellers could have and did get taken by the scheme. The bottom line is if anything gives you a slight tinge in your gut that says this is too good to be true, then maybe it is," he said.
DeLoach advises anyone who gets into a documentary letter of credit situation to not ship anything until every document is in their possession. Don't let anyone else control any document before you ship, he said.
"Then once you have all those documents, ship them to your bank so they can review them to make sure there are no exceptions. Then they ship to the funding bank that recognizes that everything is complete and transfers the money," DeLoach said. "The [original shipping compliance document], as it was explained to us [by the fraudsters], was a document that the finance company would provide once the goods were shipped. Later, we were told it has nothing to do with the goods being shipped. It was just a fraudulent shell game to get us to ship goods."
It was the first time Quastar had ever fallen victim to a scam, DeLoach said.
In the wake of the fraud, the company will never accept a letter of credit until it gets all the documents in advance and can control them, DeLoach said. He advises other VARs to verify all information provided by the credit applicant and to make sure it has money put up by the purchaser.
"How many people could generate a letter of credit for that much? We're talking $1.5 million in equipment [from all parties allegedly scammed]. Knowing what I know now, I ask in advance in letters of credit situations to have the funds put up by the end recipient."

A Milwaukee woman who showed up at a Brookfield church Sunday toting a loaded Glock 9mm handgun told parishioners she was doing so to make a point.
But members of the Unitarian Universalist Church West made a point of their own when they called police on the woman, who was arrested after driving away with the gun on the passenger seat of her vehicle.
According to Brookfield police:
The incident happened during the 9:15 a.m. service at the church, 13001 W. North Ave., when the 41-year-old woman arrived carrying the gun on her hip and kept it there throughout the service.
After the service, parishioners asked the woman why she had brought the gun. She replied, "To make a point."
The woman then placed the gun in a zippered case and put it on the front seat of her vehicle. She started to drive away, but was stopped by officers who had been called by church members.
She was arrested for transporting a loaded weapon.
After this article was published in Brookfield NOW and on BrookfieldNOW.com, the woman called NOW and said she never said the quote attributed to her in the police report. She declined to comment further.

Rams 14, Dolphins 17 - The Good, The Bad and The Ugly |
Written by Rich Rodriguez | |
Sunday, 14 October 2012 | |
The Good Ryan Tannehill - 21 completions on 29 pass attempts, 185 yards, 2 touchdowns and a QB rating of 112. This is the clean, efficient game you want your rookie quarterback to play. Olivier Vernon - 2 sacks in his coming out party. One of those sacks was after he got his ankle rolled up on. Good to see Vernon finally making big plays. Cameron Wake - Wake is on a tear the past few games, adding another sack to his total. The Bad The Dolphins defense gave up 462 yards, including 162 yards on the ground after giving up about 61 yards per game on the ground through the first five games. Early on, the Dolphins defensive front was getting pushed around by the Rams offensive line and throughout the game the defensive backs couldn't seem to cover a mediocre group of receivers. The Dolphins allowed 6 yards per carry. Brian Hartline was held without a catch. I'm sure he won't be leading the league in receiving yards after today. The Dolphins running game has left the building. Reggie Bush had 17 rushing yards on 12 carries and the Dolphins had 19 total rushing yards against a team that had been allowing 117 yards per game on the ground. Lamar Miller barely got in the game, which is curious considering Reggie Bush is obviously not himself right now with a knee and hip injury. The bye week couldn't come soon enough to remedy the problems with a ground game that was explosive just weeks ago, but can't get the job done now. Blame also goes to the offensive line, who isn't opening the same holes it was early in the season and at times is not protecting Tannehill as well as is needed. Sean Smith - After having good games against Larry Fitzgerald and A.J. Green, Sean Smith seemed to have a more difficult time with the Rams pedestrian receivers. Maybe it is a case of taking lesser players for granted, but he definitely did not have the same caliber game against the Rams as he did against the Cardinals and Bengals. The Ugly This win was as ugly as it gets. Winning 17-14 despite being outgained by 270 yards and getting 10 less first downs, 20 less plays and almost 7 minutes less in time of possession is the definition of winning ugly. Overall The Dolphins are now 3-3 and are winning the close games they were losing early in the year. This is the identity of the team, play tough, stay in the game, keep in close. This will probably the way it is all year. The bye week is next and it couldn't come at a better time. It will give Reggie Bush the time to heal and hopefully get his burst back. After that, an opportunity to get revenge on the Jets. Oh yeah, don't look now... but the Dolphins are tied for first in the AFC East.... |

European Decorative Arts and Sculpture Pair of Miniature Shoes Made in Delft, Netherlands, Europe1740-70 Artist/maker unknown, Dutch Tin-glazed earthenware with polychrome decoration Currently not on view 1882-489,491 The Bloomfield Moore Collection, 1882 |
LabelMiniature ceramic shoes like the ones seen here were often sold at annual fairs and markets. Although most examples are undated, there are surviving shoes that do bear dates and initials, indicating that they were offered as gifts on special occasions. The rather erotic connotation shoes had in the seventeenth century suggests that they might have been exchanged by young lovers as a symbol of good luck in marriage. |

Jagged oranges, reds, purples and pinks make up the view from the rim of the Grand Canyon, changing color as the sun's angle constantly adjusts their tint and position.
Meanwhile, the Colorado River swerves and curves through the canyon floor, slowly expanding the six million-year-old gash in the high desert of northwest Arizona.
Grand Canyon National Park lies around and within one of the seven wonders of the natural world; it's close to two million acres of practically untouched hinterland offer a lifetime of adventure and exploring.
Park stats: Grand Canyon was the second most visited national park in 2012, attracting almost 4.5 million visitors. It has been more than 20 years since fewer than 4 million people visited Grand Canyon National Park in a given year.
The location: The Grand Canyon is in northwest Arizona near the Utah and Nevada borders. Flagstaff is about a 90-minute drive from the South Rim. The park is about a four-hour drive north of Phoenix and a four-hour drive east of Las Vegas.
The Grand Canyon became a national park in 1919. It stretches along 277 miles of the Colorado River, which runs through the bottom of the canyon. The distance from the South Rim to the canyon floor is a full vertical mile. While the canyon's width varies, it measures 18 miles in several places.
If you go: Park entrance fees are $25 per vehicle and $12 for individuals (hikers, cyclists and motorcycles). Be sure to check the weather in advance as temperatures vary according to season and what part of the park you are visiting. The North Rim is generally the coolest place in the park, and the canyon floor is the warmest.
There is no additional cost for day hikes on the rim and into the canyon, but overnight trips require buying a backcountry permit. The permit costs $10 plus an additional $5 for each person in the group.
The park is divided into the North and South Rim. The South Rim is open year-round, while the North Rim is open during the spring and summer.
Grand Canyon Village: There are several lodging options at the Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim, including hotels and campgrounds. There is also access to Desert View Drive and the east entrance to the park. Book early. The park's rooms fill up months in advance.
Getting around: There are free shuttle buses in the South Rim that connect the visitor center, museums, lodging and dining to trail heads and scenic overlooks.
North Rim: Due to high winds and heavy snows, the North Rim is only open from May 15 to October 15. The Grand Canyon Lodge is the only hotel on the North Rim. Campground space is available, but like the South Rim, reservations are required and advance reservations are recommended.
North Rim visitors can also stay outside the park at the Kaibab Lodge and Jacob Lake Inn, which are 18 and 45 miles north of the park. The North Rim has a visitor center but does not have shuttle buses.
Hiking on the rim and into the canyon: Temperatures on the rim change with the season, and increase dramatically during summer hikes into the canyon. Visitors should be prepared for extreme cold and intense heat. Hiking at the Grand Canyon is physically demanding, even for experienced hikers. Be sure to drink plenty of water, carry plenty of food and never hike alone.
The trail from the South Rim to the canyon floor is seven miles. Mules are a common sight on hiking trails into the canyon. When you see them approaching, move off the trail to the side away from the edge, stand still, keep quiet and do not return to the trail until the mule is at least 50 feet away from you. Always follow directions given by the mule wrangler.
Lodging is available in the bottom of the canyon at the Phantom Ranch. Reservations are required and you do not need a backcountry permit to stay there.
Rafting on the Colorado River: There are several options for taking Colorado River rafting trips at the Grand Canyon. Check out the park's permit information online for specifics. Trips can last between a half day and 25 days.
Meet our ranger: Andy Pearce, 52, is the environmental education specialist at Grand Canyon National Park and loves spending the majority of his time teaching kids about the park.
"I feel like with school groups we are connecting a whole population of young people to the national parks that otherwise wouldn't come here," he says
Pearce was born in Wilmington, Delaware, and his parents, especially his mother, Eleanor, raised him with a love for national parks and hiking. He graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in geology and was working a summer construction job when he received an opportunity to volunteer at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.
The experience helped him get his foot in the door as a seasonal ranger and eventually get his first full-time position at Wupatki National Monument near Flagstaff, Arizona. He worked at nine other national parks before coming to Grand Canyon in 2002.
"It's a fantastic resource," he says. "It changes year-round with four seasons. It's not Arizona as you'd think of Arizona when you're on the rim of the canyon."
For a day trip, don't miss: Stop at the Grand Canyon Visitor Center on the South Rim and then visit Mather Point, Mohave Point and Desert View Watchtower. Part of the magic of going to the Grand Canyon is that you often can't see the canyon until you reach the edge.
Mather Point has "a wow factor that makes the first view quite spectacular."
If you are traveling by car, Pearce says these areas are close enough to each other that you can see them all in one day.

How To: Fabric Lunch Sacks
Because I'm pretty busy with fire truck onesies and a special surprise, I haven't gotten around to actually finishing anything :). So, as a repeat post, we are going to make fabric lunch sacks!
For this project, you will need:
1/2 yd main fabric
1/2 yd lining fabric
coordinating felt
heavyweight interfacing OR insul-brite (available in most fabric stores in the utility fabric area)
sew-on velcro
air or water-soluble marker
sewing supplies
First, cut your pieces. You need:
Main fabric: 2@ 12w" x 14h", 1@ 3" x 12", 1@ 6" x 8"
Lining fabric: 2@ 12" x 14", 1@ 6" x 8"
Interfacing: 2@ 12" x 14", 1@ 3" x 12" (If using insulbrite, don't cut the 3" x 12" piece. use the interfacing instead)
Cut 2" out of the bottom corners of all the large pieces. The bottom is the 12" side :)
Iron your interfacing onto the back of your main fabric using the instructions on the package. I am using InsulBrite (like batting with a foil layer to insulate better) for this example. I just acted as if my InsulBrite was attached already.
Place main fabric right sides together, matching the notched corners.
Sew the sides and bottom together using a 1/2" seam allowance. Iron your seams so they lay flat. Since I was using InsulBrite, I trimmed the InsulBrite to right next to the stitching to decrease bulk in my seams.
Trim the seam allowance to about 1/4".
Sew your big lining pieces together the same way. Then, iron a 1/2" hem on the top of both the lining and main fabric pieces. Place the lining inside the main fabric wrong sides together, like so.
Now we are onto our flap. Cut out your applique from felt (or another fabric, don't feel obligated to use felt!) and sew it onto the 6" x 8" main fabric, making sure you avoid the edges by at least a generous 1/2".
Sew the lining piece to the applique'd piece right sides together. Clip the corners.
Turn right side out and use a chopstick or something skinny and blunt to get your corners all nice and square. Iron the opening so it is even and topstitch around the entire piece at a scant 1/8" seam allowance.
Insert the applique piece into the main bag body like so: (or you can pin the app piece on the outside of the bag if you prefer)
Be sure to not cover any of the applique! Pin in place really well. Topstitch around the entire top of the bag, enclosing the applique piece really well, at a 1/8" seam allowance.
At this point, I added my velcro. I wanted the flap to be on in order to determine placement. I just closed the bag, put a pin in where I wanted it to shut, and marked with a air-soluble marker where I wanted to put the velcro.
I simply pinned on a 1" piece of velcro onto where I marked the fabric, and stitched it on. No picture here, I think this was the point where my three-year-old wanted to sit on my lap while I sewed.
To make your straps, iron the interfacing to the 3" x 12" piece of fabric. Fold in half long-ways, right sides together, and sew along one short edge and the long edge, leaving the other short edge open for turning. I use my flute tuning stick to turn my straps :) I knew it was good for something! Iron it flat and sew a 1/8" seam allowance around the whole thing, closing the opening as you go.
I stitched from the top to the bottom at about 1/4" and ended up with a more sturdy bag.
Place your straps on the top BACK of the lunch bag with the ends overlapping about 1 1/2", pinning them in their desired spot.
At this point, you could be all done! My bag (which I made a bigger one for car snacks and church snacks) wasn't standing up beautifully, so I decided to sew the sides again!
I put the bag flat on the table like so and drew a line with my marker from the bottom point to the top.
Then I stood the bag up, pinched the fabric along the line (make sure you catch the lining fabric!) and pinned the heck out of it. Ah, perfect for lunch time, picnics at the playground, field trips, or a grab bag for the car!
I have been using this since to take snacks in the car, to church, and to the park. It works like a charm! I'm lovin' it :) I hope you do too!
Hopefully I will have a finished quilt to show SOMETIME this week. Sorry- I'm just a busy girl!

If you google "FLV Player" you get several different FLV players that the community has made. A friend of mine recently asked me if there are any that I have had a good experience with, and I was surprised that he was even asking me this given that there is the Adobe Media Player (AMP).
But yeah, I just wanted to point out to people out there that AMP (Adobe Media Player) can play FLVs!!!
I've tried it on only Windows so far, but I'd think it can play FLVs on all three major platforms (win/mac/lnx) since there is an AMP available on each.
1. Install Adobe Media Player from here: http://get.adobe.com/amp/ (click at the bottom of that flash box)
2. On Windows, right-click an FLV file, hover over "Open With.." then select Adobe Media Player.
3. And bada bing, you've got your FLV playing.
I can't remember, but there was a specific reason (having to do with CS4 compatibility or something) that they didn't register .FLV's default player to be AMP, but I'd imagine you can do that manually if you don't want to do the right-click->open with… thing.
Developers: If you don't like the idea that you have to install AMP (which serves many purposes other than just playing FLVs), you can probably make your own lean FLV player using AIR. If you do, it'd be super cool if you open sourced it, and shared bins. Just a thought.

SOUTHERN PINES - Town residents may have to pay if they want to keep "backdoor" garbage collection after July 1.
During a work session Monday, the Town Council discussed moving to curbside service in the next fiscal year.
Southern Pines has offered backdoor garbage collection for more than three decades, town officials say. About 75 percent of the residents take advantage of the service, said Assistant Town Manager David White, who also serves as the director of public services.
Town Manager Reagan Parsons said Southern Pines is one of a few towns still offering backdoor service. The town could save as much as $20,000 a month by going to curbside service, he said.
Councilman Chris Smithson said he would like to hear from more people about the issue, but he might consider the option of people paying to keep backdoor service if they wanted it.
"That might be the best of both worlds," he said.
Councilman Fred Walden said curbside pickup would save the town money, which would help the council keep the tax rate down.
"We look at the whole budget, not just a piece of it," he said.
Mayor David McNeill said Waste Management, which has picked up garbage in Southern Pines for about 25 years, has indicated residents would have to pay about $4 to $4.50 a month for the backdoor service if the town went to curbside pickup. He said he would like to know how much other companies would charge for the service.
Residents who have a doctor's note saying they are unable to take their garbage to the road would get the backdoor service for free.
The town received proposals from Waste Management and two other companies for its for garbage, recycling and yard waste service, White said. He presented an overview of the proposals to the council Monday.
Proposals from one company, Waste Connections, did not meet the requests, White said. The other company, Waste Industries, did not submit a proposal for one request.
Waste Management was the highest bidder on several requests and the lowest on one.
The council is expected to discuss the issue at its March 12 meeting. McNeill said he would like to hear from members of the public then.
In other business, the council met in closed session for 43 minutes to discuss the potential location or expansion of an industry or a business. No action was taken, McNeill said.

Sunset Farm Organics
Posted 18 February 2009 - 02:49 PM
Welcome to Sunset Farm Organics of Lyman, Maine
I met owner/operator Paul Lorrain in the middle of the Old Port last December. He was carrying big plastic bags of gorgeous greenery into Street & Company, a seafood restaurant at 33 Wharf Street. After a spirited chat he invited me down to the farm to look around someday. Last week I paid Paul, Dave and Christine a visit.
Paul built his first greenhouse in 2000. Now he's up to six with another two slated for next season. There's been the requisite ups and downs but at this point he's able to - for a fee - provide a complete set-up of his growing operation to anyone living in harsh climates like Maine's.
In light of the growing interest in growing things, Paul - an active board member of M.O.F.G.A. - feels that operations like his could see some real action in the coming couple of years, either in the operations themselves or just the fabulous bounty that is produced within.
I have some great pictures from my tour of Sunset Farm Organics coming up. If only I could embed the wonderful smell of dirt and greenery that day too.

Paul used to number his greenhouses,
This season he's named them after famous composers.
Each greenhouse is sheathed in two layers of six mil plastic. When needed, he runs a fan through the walls to separate the layers for extra insulation.
Two of his greenhouses are unheated - they are utilized in autumn, hopefully through Thanksgiving depending on the weather. The other four are heated with propane, and to help things along, he uses a CO² generator "to jack up" growing conditions (that's the black box hanging by a chain).
A higher amount of CO² in the greenhouse causes his plants to grow faster, so instead of picking once a week they can pick twice a week. Normal conditions register 450ppm of CO² - Paul has about 2000ppm in his working greenhouses.
To see just where things stand, he takes a big plastic syringe into the middle of the greenhouse and pumps air into it, then inserts a test ampule into the tip.
He pushes the sample air through the tube and a shade of purple will reveal the CO² status at that time. Paul bought the CO² generator on line from a "boutique" shop in California that "probably caters to a different kind of farmer," he says. Still, the chance the local sheriff stops by - other than for coffee - has crossed his mind.

After picking, the greens are carefully washed in a succession of basins,
then spun in a dryer (background) and bagged for clients,
Paul mentioned that in winter, people love anything red in their salad. Area restaurants can't get enough "red" greens. The flavor of his micro greens are very different than fresh summertime greens. "Ever notice how people add cukes and tomatoes and all that stuff on their summer salads?" he said, "well, folks just eat these greens right out of the bag. They're delicious just on their own," And we began to do just that.
Paul heads into Portland mid-week or so to deliver to Flatbread Pizza, Street & Company, Fore Street Restaurant, Local 188, out to Rosemont Bakery on Brighton Ave, and then up to Freeport to Royal River Natural Foods.
Sunset Farm also supplies The Wolf Pine Farm CSA in Alfred Maine.

When I got home I gave a few handfuls of freshly picked greens a spin and drizzled a few drops of my vinaigrette on top.
Besides the carrots, Paul also gave me some of the tiny turnips - hakurei, they are called. They were the size of a large marble.
After sampling it in it's raw form, I made a little soup with turnips, turnip greens, carrots, white beans, bacon and turkey stock
For a few days in the dead of winter, fresh picked produce hit the table. I will never forget that welcome window of summer in the middle of all that snow - the smell of dirt, the rows of green leafy things spread out before me.
And the humidity. I had forgotten what humidity felt like!

Dirty Tackle
Pele refuses to participate in World Cup draw for fear of putting Brazil in tough group
Ryan Bailey at Dirty Tackle4 hrs agoRepresentatives from the 32 competing nations at the 2014 World Cup are arriving at the swanky beachside Costa do Sauipe resort in Bahia in preparation for Friday's World Cup draw.
The showpiece event, which begins at 11am ET (1pm local time) will feature around an hour of pointless singing, dancing and highlights clips before the actual draw process begins. The men who will actually be pulling the balls from FIFA's shiny plastic bowls are previous winners from the eight victorious nations: they include Cafu, Fabio Cannavaro, Mario Kempes, Lothar Matthaus, Zinedine Zidane and Sir Geoff Hurst. They will not, however, be joined by three-time winner and erectile dysfunction spokesmanPele, who has come down with a serious case of the draw yips.
The Daily Mailhas his response to being asked to participate by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff:
'I preferred to turn down the offer because I wouldn't feel comfortable in picking out balls which are not favourable to Brazil.'
Mayor of World Cup host city doesn't want England to play there
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle5 hrs agoEarlier this week, England manager Roy Hodgson voiced concerns about the 2014 World Cup venues that many participants are likely to share. "There are venues in Brazil that will be harder to play in than others," he told the press, adding that he will be more concerned by the venues than the other teams at the draw on Friday.
He singled out the tropical and distant host city of Manuas as one venue that could cause teams added trouble and now the mayor of Manaus has decided he doesn't want England in his town anyway.
From the AP:
Virgilio said in a statement: ''We hope to get a better team and a coach who is more sensible and polite.'' [...]
''We would also prefer that England doesn't come,'' Virgilio said. ''We hope to get a better team and a coach who is more sensible and polite. He's one of the few people in the world who is not curious about the Amazon, who doesn't want to know Manaus.''
This is the MLS goal of the year for 2013
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle8 hrs agoMaybe it's fitting, but the man who led MLS with 22 goals this season has also claimed the league's goal of the year award. Vancouver's Camilo Sanvezzo had a tremendous season, scoring five more goals than he did in his first two MLS seasons combined. His scissor kick to equalize against Portland in October was a high point, though. And now it's officially the goal of the season.
Here's all four finalists for the award, so you can see the impressive contenders Sanvezzo beat out...
The winner was determined by a fan vote, which Sanvezzo won by a considerable margin.
1. Camilo Sanvezzo (VAN) vs. POR, Week 32 - 47.29% 2. Diego Valeri (POR) vs. NY, Week 1 - 30.05% 3. Juan Agudelo (NE) vs. CHI, Week 25 - 11.36% 4. Thierry Henry (NY) vs. MTL, Week 11 - 11.31%
Mario Balotelli fends off a zombie attack
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle8 hrs agoIn a promotional clip for an upcoming award show, Mario Balotelli is seen speaking to the camera at Milan's training ground when a zombie suddenly appears. Balotelli keeps his cool as the growling monster approaches him (probably because he knew it was standing there the whole time). He has to act quick if he wants to save himself and he does by employing an unconventional zombie defense tactic: ripping off its hair.
Balotelli's inventive move works though, and the zombie stumbles away in pain while Mario watches with the same impassive expression he has after scoring a goal. Someone needs to tell Rick Grimes not to worry about going to the trouble of destroying a zombie's brain. Just rip off its hairpiece, ya dingus!
Unfortunately, it seems Gigi Buffon didn't get away as easily...

If it continued… (Manchester United v Everton)
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle21 hrs agoManchester United manager David Moyes faced his old club on Wednesday and it did not go well for him. Everton won 1-0 and their fans booed the man who led them for 11 years and chanted "David Moyes is full of s***." And they did this at Old Trafford. Man United are now 12-points adrift of first-place Arsenal and Roberto Martinez's Everton remain the only team in the Premier League with just one loss. But what if the match continued?
97' — Sir Alex Ferguson angrily chomps gum that isn't in his mouth and considers disbanding Man United to prevent Moyes from sullying their image any further.
101' — Ryan Giggs continues to have more talent in one of his gray hairs than Tom Cleverley does in his whole disappointing body.
108' — Ashley Young dives off the bench in a misguided attempt to win a much needed penalty. Anders Lindegaard uses him as a footrest.
112' — Bryan Oviedo sits on Sylvain Distin's shoulders to form EVERTRON. Oviedo carries a bottle of water because EVERTRON dehydrates very easily.
115' — Romelu Lukaku scores just to annoy Jose Mourinho.
Rino Gattuso says he 'can't really see women in football'
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day agoRetired Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has decided to chime in on the power struggle at the club between long-time chief executive Adriano Galliani and Barbara Berlusconi, daughter of club owner and disgraced former Italy prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. In a radio interview, he shared his regrettable view of the matter.
From the BBC:
"For someone like Galliani there should be more respect," Reuters reported Gattuso as telling Italy's Radio Radio.
"I can't really see women in football. I don't like to say it but that's how it is."
Over the weekend, Galliani announced his resignation after 28 years with the club only to then agree to a compromise that now gives Milan two CEOs — Galliani to handle sporting matters and Barbara Berlusconi to handle "other areas of the club's activities." Berlusconi was named to Milan's board of directors in 2011, shortly after she started dating then Milan striker Pato.
Jogi Low refuses to vote for Ballon d'Or to avoid upsetting his players
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day agoThere are five Germans shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or this year — Bayern Munich's Philipp Lahm, Thomas Muller, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Manuel Neuer plus Arsenal's Mesut Ozil. This puts their manager, Jogi Low, in a bit of a pickle. Since the votes are made public after the winner is announced, his players would see if he singled one of them out above the others. Or if he said someone else was better than all of them. So he's decided not to vote at all.
From Sky Sports:
"Since FIFA makes the choice of the jury members publicly, it brings the national coach in a kind of quandary," said DFB spokesperson Jens Grittner.
"He sees himself unable to vote objectively and impartially. Therefore, he has decided to abstain from the election.
"DFB General Secretary Helmut Sandrock has communicated this in a letter to FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke, asking for understanding."
Luis Suarez scores 35-minute hat trick with stunning collection of goals
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day agoIn the midst of a rash of injuries and following a 3-1 loss to Premier League minnow Hull City, Liverpool needed a boost against another struggling side in Norwich. And Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez decided to provide that boost himself.
Suarez completed a hat trick within the first 35 minutes of the match and added a fourth goal in the second half on the way to a 5-1 win for Liverpool. And each goal demonstrated different aspects of the talent that makes him one of the best strikers in the world. His first goal came in the 15th minute and it was a beautiful 40-yard bomb that arched into the net, prompting quick nominations for goal of the season. Have a look...
Suarez scored his second in the 29th minute and for his third, which came just six minutes later, he embarrassed a defender by lobbing the ball over him to set himself up for the goal (alternate video here).
And all of this came before halftime. He added a fourth goal with a free kick in the 74th minute just because he can (gif here).
Fan attempts to backheel errant ball, ends up knocking the drinks out of his own hand
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day agoAs Brighton & Hove Albion's U-21 team proved, backheels are dangerous. But this takes it to another level of devastation. During a Danish Superliga match between Nordsjælland and Randers FC, a shot that sailed over the goal and into the standing section of the crowd, where a man stood talking on his phone with a drinks holder in his other hand. Since he had no hands free, he casually attempted to stop the ball with a backheel, but that just sent it smashing into his drinks holder, destroying approximately €1,312 worth of stadium beverages.
Though it did appear one of his drinks survived the blast, this proves that like talking on the phone while driving, talking on the phone while backheeling only leads to terrible things.

DTotD: The backheel volley to the face
Ryan Bailey at Dirty Tackle1 day agoBrighton & Hove Albion's U21 side beat Millwall's youngsters 3-1 on Monday evening, but the highlight was a thoroughly unnecessary piece of showboating from Albion's Glen Rea.
Instead of retuning the ball to Millwall after a break in play in a conventional fashion, he attempted to balance the ball on his head then stylishly backheel it to the exact required position. That is, after all, the kind of move that helps you graduate to the senior team. However, the ball ended up unintentionally smashing Lions midfielder Kris Twardek square in the face from close range.
The more times you watch the clip, the louder you will giggle like a titillated schoolgirl.

John Waters, an award-winning wildlife cameraman, reveals his favourite places to film.
John Waters writes: This is a huge area of arctic and sub-arctic wilderness in central Alaska and is dominated by Mount McKinley (the highest mountain in North America). A few gravel roads wind through wooded river valleys and up onto mountain tundra. The scenery is spectacular and the wildlife is fairly accustomed to vehicles.
Late summer and autumn is a good time – the moose are rutting and grizzly bears are feasting on blueberries to fatten up before the long winter. You will almost certainly also see caribou, red foxes and arctic ground squirrels.
Wildscreen Festival
John Waters is a judge for the Panda Awards – the 'wildlife Oscars' which take place on the last evening of the Wildscreen Festival, the world's leading wildlife and environmental film festival running Oct 14-19 See www.wildscreenfestival.org for more information.
