Re: UT question
A Klingon hears through his UT "female name - standing upon - a platform." The UT would have to at least summarize the first act of Romeo and Juliet for "Juliet on the balcony" to accurately describe Juliet's feelings of romance and teenage angst.

Why didn't the UT kick in and instantly translate cha'nob vo' 'Iw as offering of blood?

Re: UT question
Maybe it has to do with proper nouns.
The translator may be advanced enough to know when someone is using a ceremonial term, and that it isn't supposed to translate it. The same with saying someone's name, every time I would use my family name, the UT wouldn't jump in with "one who baptizes"
Many people's names have meanings.
Cha'nob vo' 'Iw could also have multiple meanings, depending on usage, and the UT doesn't know which one to render. Worf then supplies the usage he specifically was referring too.

Re: UT question
When Worf is surrounded by other Klingon, I would assume that they are all speaking a Klingon dialect. When Deanna and Laxanna are in private, surely they're speaking a Betazed language. If everyone one on TNG were speaking different languages, and hearing others through their UT's, that would be kind of cool.
What is Beverly Crusher actually speaking most of the time? Gaelic? Certainly in the episode that took place on the Scottish culture colony, the locals were speaking it.
The Native Americans who left Earth to preserve their culture, they were speaking English?
I've alway thought that Major Kira wasn't speaking English, not any at all. In the first episode of DS9 my impression is that she was assigned to the station at short notice, and her disdain for the Federation in general certainly wouldn't have lead her to previously learn one (of thousands?) of the Federation member languages. But she spoke English better than I do. That Kira would have learned Cardassian I could see, but English?

Quetions regarding Custom Log Handler in GlassFish 3.1
We are currently using GlassFish 3.1 and sereral applications run on the same server. I only own one application and when all applications write logs to server.log file, it is hard to debug. I looked http://weblogs.java.net/blog/carlavmott/archive/2008/12/adding_custom_h.... and it suggests us to write a Custom Log Handler. Before introducing a Custom Log Handler to my application, I would like to know if following features are supported in GlassFish 3.1.
1. If it is configurable through GlassFish Admin console about loggers that want to write to my own log file . I don't want to hardcode it like bellow.
public void publish(LogRecord record) {
if (getFilter() != null) {
if (!getFilter().isLoggable(record))
try {
if (webLogger.equals(record.getLoggerName())
|| deployLogger.equals(record.getLoggerName())) {
f.write("NewHandler output - ");
f.write("logger name: " + record.getLoggerName());
f.write(" source classname: " + record.getSourceClassName());
f.write(" message: " + record.getMessage());
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println("not able to write to log file." + ex);
2. I like to set size of my log file through Admin console.
I am pretty new to GlassFish. I would appreciate if someone guide me on this.
Thanks in advance.
I don't know if this could be still useful for you, but I just published an extension for GF3 and GF4 that allows full customization of Log Handlers in Glassfish Admin Console. You can find my project at https://code.google.com/p/glassfish-advanced-logging/

Melabic Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Melabic is a blood sugar stabilizer. It is not intended for weight loss, but is supposed to be a natural treatment for diabetes. It is thought to help prevent the onset of the condition, and could help with weight loss as a side effect. This review will take a look at the supplement to learn more about how it works and if it could possibly help you reach your weight loss goals.
List of Ingredients
Melabic ingredients include: Gymnema, Fenugreek, Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA), Bitter Melon, Cinnamon, Zinc, Chromium, Biotin, and Banaba.
Product Features
Melabic claims to be an all natural supplement to treat or prevent the onset of diabetes, as a sugar stabilizer. The Gymnema is thought to help balance the blood sugar levels. Fenugreek is thought to help reduce cholesterol levels, to promote heart health and improved circulation. ALA is an excellent source of antioxidants which will improve overall health and combat aging. Bitter Melon is supposed to help support insulin levels to promote weight loss. Cinnamon is another thing that will help lower cholesterol levels. Zinc is thought to help cleanse the body and promote liver health. Chromium is known to help keep the blood sugar levels stable. Biotin is thought to help cleanse the body and promote a healthy liver. Banaba is another ingredient to support insulin levels and promote weight loss. We do not know how much of each ingredient is in the formula, and we are not sure if there is enough of each ingredient to be effective and help the formula work. We cannot see the ingredient amounts from the website.
- Melabic contains all natural ingredients.
- This supplement is reasonably priced at $39.95 per month.
- Melabic is not clinically proven.
- This supplement is not specifically targeted at weight loss.
- This comes with a "free trial" of meal plans and fitness plans.
- There is no money back guarantee to support this product.
- There is no free trial of the supplement.
Melabic seems like it could be an effective supplement to help treat or prevent diabetes, but these claims are not researched or backed up by the FDA. We are not sure if the product will work as it is described, and even if it does, the weight loss you see will be a side effect of getting the blood sugar under control, and therefore the amounts will not be large. If you want to lose weight, you need to combine a balanced diet and exercise program with a clinically proven safe and effective weight loss supplement that contains either an appetite suppressant or a fat burner. The supplement will help you lose more weight than diet and exercise alone.

1. "We carefully picked your neighborhood."
The average $21 or so the National Retail Federation estimates most Americans will spend on Halloween candy this year might only buy Susan Stroga enough to last through an hour of trick-or-treaters. Parents for miles around like the closed subdivision in Barrington, Ill. where Stroga lives for its safety and walkability, while kids know it for having the best goodies. "We've developed a reputation for having a lot of candy," she admits. Stroga plans for a whopping 1,000-plus visitors and spends $100 on value bags of candy at Costco to save cash -- and only once in her 10 years in the neighborhood has she had any left over. The first year, and in most years thereafter, she's had to send her husband out to the store for more. "I was shocked," she recalls. "I was thinking, where did all these kids come from?" Now she routinely alerts new neighbors to stock up.
Also See
Where you live plays a big role in the number of trick-or-treaters you get – and how much you may have to spend. Not surprisingly, the best neighborhoods tend to be those with both high home values and dense populations, which in Halloween-speak translates to lots of good candy from wealthy folks whose homes are close enough together that you can walk around quickly, says Amy Bohutinsky, chief marketing officer of real-estate site Zillow.com, which annually ranks the best neighborhoods in major cities for trick-or-treating. To keep your candy costs in budget, hand out the candy rather than offering kids the bowl, which encourages them to take more, says Erin Gifford, spokeswoman for grocery list site ZipList.com. It also helps to open candy bags only as needed, so you can return unopened ones if your neighborhood proves (happily) less popular.
2. "I won't eat half of this."
When Spiderman and Captain America are done trick-or-treating in Evanston, Wyo., this year, their alter-egos -- Jaden, age 7, and Simon, age 3 -- will head to the nearby Evanston Regional Hospital with mom Mysti Reutlinger for a free X-ray screening of their candy. "We've never found anything, but I want to be cautious," says Reutlinger. She then screens the candy for other damage: "We have found some candy pieces that are open or that have little punctures, and we throw those out." Stories of razorblades in apples and poisoned Halloween candy are largely urban legend, but it's still a smart idea for parents to toss anything opened, homemade, or that looks like it might have been lingering in the pantry since last Halloween, says Moira Donahue, director of Safe Kids USA's "Walk This Way" program.
Indeed, the money you spend on Halloween candy might go to waste as more parents nix options that don't fit with allergies, food sensitivities or other dietary criteria. Monica Sanchez, founder of Eco-Friendly Party in La Habra, Calif., says she plans to host an event helping parents avoid candy with too many preservatives and artificial ingredients. And young trick-or-treaters may not get any candy at all, since it's a choking hazard. Two-year-old Orion has been practicing his "meow" in anticipation for his foray as a cat to trick-or-treat among the brownstones in New York City's Harlem neighborhood. But he hasn't had candy before, and mom Imani Powell-Razat hopes to keep it that way. "I'll probably cave and give him a Twix or something," she says. It's her 13-year-old stepson Djai who will get most of Orion's loot.
3. "I'm breaking the law."
Late-night knocks and older trick-or-treaters have spooked enough residents of Belleville, Ill., that Mayor Mark Eckert pushed for new regulations in 2008 that prohibit anyone 13 and older from going door-to-door and setting a Halloween night curfew of 8:30 p.m. Violators must pay a $25 fine. (Eckert did not respond to requests for comment.) Rehoboth Beach, Del., has had an ordinance on the books since 1977 that restricts trick-or-treating to kids age 14 and younger. It also limits their treat-collecting time to between the hours of 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. If Halloween falls on a Sunday, as it did last year, celebrants must trick-or-treat on Oct. 30 instead, says Rehoboth Beach police chief Keith W. Banks. Violators don't face a set civil fine, like a traffic ticket, but must appear in court to answer a criminal charge and face a punishment chosen by the judge.
Not that it's ever happened. Although such laws are on the books, they're not an enforcement priority on a night when more serious crimes may occur (see No. 5). "You're hard pressed to look at someone and say, are you 15 or 14?" Banks says. "I can't remember us ever doing anything." And if they were to, he says, the punishment would likely be a nominal $5 fine.
4. "We're great for vets, and orthodontists."
A pile of Halloween candy can be a big risk if you're a pet owner: insurer PetPlan says claims for candy-related pet emergencies increase 284% during the week after Halloween. Chocolate ingredient theobromine is toxic to cats and dogs, toffee and peanuts can trigger pancreatitis and candy wrappers might block the intestines, says Dr. Jules Benson, the president of veterinary services at PetPlan. Even healthy-for-kids raisin boxes can cause kidney failure in dogs. A lone candy bar might not do much damage, but Halloween tends to be more dangerous because pets have access to quantity. "When you have a bowl of 50 fun-size Snickers, that's going to cause a problem," says Benson. The average candy-triggered bill: $500, although serious cases requiring emergency surgery or hospitalization can cost as much as $3,000.
Of course, candy triggers its share of people emergencies, too. Dr. John Graham of Graham Orthodontics in Phoenix, Ariz., says he, like many orthodontists, sees a spike in emergency visits for fixing the brackets and wires on braces after Halloween. The office doesn't charge for the fix unless the sufferer is a repeat offender who ignores the off-limits food list, which includes caramels, taffy and hard candies. In that case, the bill runs $25 per bracket. But the bigger cost is time: one break could add two to four months to your time in braces, especially if you don't notice immediately, says Dr. Stuart Frost of Frost Orthodontics in Mesa, Ariz.
5. "I'll be back later with toilet paper and eggs -- or worse."
It's not a bad idea to reassess your homeowners insurance policy and move the car in the garage before Halloween. On that night and Oct. 30 -- known as Devil's Night or Mischief Night -- police commonly report pranks like pumpkin smashing and covering trees in toilet paper, as well as more damaging vandalism like fires, spray painting property and rocks thrown through house and car windows. "Too many parents have bought into this idea that it's a fun night, and it's OK to do mischief," says Wyckoff, N.J., police chief Benjamin C. Fox. "But that's not a prank." After an uptick in calls and more serious incidents like rock throwing in 2009, he sent a letter to parents in the school district last year urging them to keep their kids at home on Mischief Night, and get them home early on Halloween. The department got fewer calls as a result, he says, and is repeating the effort this year.
Although insurance policies typically cover vandalism, in many cases, homeowners are still on the hook. "Most people have a $500 or $1,000 deductible, so the expense would have to be more than that for it to make sense filing a claim," says Jeanne Salvatore, a spokeswoman for the Insurance Information Institute. The same holds true for auto damage. Parents may also be on the hook if their child is the one making mischief. Fox says teens caught on Mischief Night aren't offered any leniency, and may face criminal charges. Even seemingly harmless pranks may carry steep fines. Since 2004, Los Angeles has levied a $1,000 fine for using or possessing Silly String in Hollywood on Halloween because the dried fibers can be tough to clean off homes and cars.
6. "Me, again."
After a few hours of opening the door, odds are good you've seen multiple zombies, princesses and tigers. But if they start to look a little familiar, well, it might be because that same trick-or-treater has already knocked at your door. "If you have good candy or larger sizes, the word gets out, and there are definitely kids that come back," says ZipList's Gifford, a mom of four who lives in Ashburn, Va. Ditto if you have something their parents don't often let them have, like the juice-filled fruit snacks Lisa Joy Rosner's kids covet. "My kids will make a second or third trip and tell their friends to go," she says. Kids hope, of course, that you won't recognize them as the same vampire or Lady Gaga who came by a few hours ago.

I first heard this term on the news being used by a McCain staff member describing the undecided women voters most apt to "swing" to his side because of Sarah Palin. This aide was sure that Palin's "folksy, just like you moms" style would be the clincher. What chutzpah they have to assume that a woman is going to change her vote because she is a "hockey mom" and a member of the PTA! I don't think so...
I know many "sports moms" that are in the PTA and I wouldn't associate with them at all if I didn't have to. The idea that the 1950s stereotypes still apply makes me queasy.
The interview I saw said that "WalMart Moms" are undereducated, do not work in skilled jobs and shop at WalMart as their first choice all the time--in other words, stupid. Again, this was a McCain staffer describing an entire block of undecided voters...
Of course, this is how we are supposed to be:
[quote]High school basketball star, beauty queen, her national speech was called a blind date, or first date, her high school pictures are flashed perpetually on the tv screen, cheerleader, and even not-so-funny Bill Maher called her a stewardess.
I have news for them--most women do not align themselves with those stereotypes. In fact, the head cheerleader was usually the most hated girl in school because she thought her position was enough to make her "better" than everyone else.

Residents of Astoria are not prepared to let the Grand Station Post Office be closed down.
Members of the neighborhood joined with community leaders and representatives of the American Postal Workers Union at a rally held on August 18 outside Grand Station, located at 45-08 30th Avenue. The rally was in protest of the post office being investigated for possible closure by the United States Postal Service (USPS).
Local residents and elected officials have currently collected over 1,050 signatures from people who hope to keep Grand Station running.
"Grand Station serves residents of a densely populated community with many senior citizens and immigrants," said Congressmember Carolyn Maloney, who spoke at the rally. "Consequently, Grand Station is a very busy, crowded station. Closing a well-used facility in a dense urban community would lead to overcrowding at already-burdened neighboring facilities and poor service for local residents. Indeed, one of the most common complaints we hear from local residents is that lines are often long at this post office."
Maloney also emphasized the importance of residents getting involved in the effort and urged people to contact the Postal Service, either through petitions or letters sent to Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe.
Earlier this month, Maloney, Councilmember Peter F. Vallone, Jr., State Senator Michael Gianaris and Assemblymember Aravella Simotas wrote a joint letter to Donahoe pleading their case for Grand Station and requesting that a public hearing be held in order to allow residents to voice their opinions.
"Closing the Grand Station Post Office would severely burden residents living in the area who rely on it for their daily needs," said Gianaris. "As a neighborhood with a large population of seniors and immigrants, closing this facility unfairly targets a subset of more vulnerable New Yorkers who have helped build the neighborhood to what it is today. It is not right that they should have to further suffer the consequences of the federal government's economic hardships."
Grand Station is among 3,652 post offices the USPS announced would be investigated nationwide. The branch was targeted for possible termination due in part to its generating only $560,392 in revenue last year, which fell just short of the USPS threshold of $600,000. Closing Grand Station would save the USPS $23,460 per year and force the post office's patrons to travel roughly half a mile to the next nearest branch.
With a decision regarding the closures expected sometime later this year, Astoria residents will have to hold their breath and hope for the best until a verdict on Grand Station is reached.
"Grand Station is faster and very convenient for me and my family," said Tiziana Cassella, an Astoria resident who visits Grand Station each week. "Closing it would create longer lines and a lot more headaches for everyone. I think it is ridiculous to close it . . . The government should regard what the community wants and needs. We pay our taxes, so we should keep it."

Program Information
Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. The goals of psychology include the description, understanding, prediction and modification of behavior.

Students planning to obtain a bachelor's degree with a major in psychology can expect to receive a strong foundation in the basic principles of psychology at Kishwaukee College and then transfer to a four-year college or university where upper-level psychology courses will be taught in the style and tradition of that particular institution. For more information about transfer degrees at Kishwaukee College, visit our transfer section.
Psychology majors with a bachelor's degree may find employment in a wide range of settings. To be considered a psychologist, however, additional work at the graduate level is usually required. For more information regarding careers in psychology, please visit the American Psychological Association.

Fifth season with 10 podiums for U.S. men.
In an "attack from the back" super G, Bode Miller tied for sixth Friday, leading three Americans into the top 20 behind Didier Defago of Switzerland.
The head coach of the U.S. men's national Alpine ski team is staying on another year to keep some continuity following the usual staff changes that come after an Olympics.
Hermann Maier is feeling better and ready to resume his Olympic medal chase following four days away from the Italian Alps, the superstar skier's agent said Thursday.
Olympic champion Jean-Pierre Vidal of France captured his first World Cup title in five years by winning a slalom Sunday while Bode Miller finished 18th in a bumpy run for the overall champ.
In near-storybook style, World Cup leader Bode Miller and Daron Rahlves deadlocked for the victory in super G Friday at World Cup Finals, giving Miller the super G title.
Chris Brigham named alpine men's head speed coach.
Bode Miller will miss his first World Cup race in almost four years when he skips this weekend's downhill and super-G.

Operations at the Leeds Metal site date back to the mid-to late 1800s, however little is known about specific site activities prior to 1969, when the property was leased to National Metal Converters, Inc. for use as a scrap metal recovery facility. Between 1969 -1984 scrap metal recovery processes took place on site, performed by a series of site operators. Junk automobiles were brought to the site by independent contractors and truckers from all over Maine to be shredded on site in a hammer mill via an electromagnetic crane and then pulverized into fist-sized pieces. The recovered ferrous metals were shipped off-site for recycling via rail cars. The remaining material, known as auto fluff, containing non-ferrous metal, glass, plastic, fabric, foam, rubber and soil, was stockpiled on site. Gasoline and other fluids from junk cars were dumped directly onto the ground, and at one point as many as 100 drums were staged along the tree line in the southern part of the site. The Leeds Fire Department has responded to numerous fires at the site; the auto fluff piles have ignited and burned for hours, creating black clouds of smoke. The site is currently inactive and unoccupied, and appears to have remained abandoned since operations ceased in 1984.
Four waste pile sources with a combined volume of approximately 40,000 cubic yards of auto fluff waste are present at the Leeds Metal site. The waste piles are fully exposed and uncontained, lacking any features to control contaminant migration. A fifth source, the former Operations Area, encompasses approximately 14 acres of documented surface soil contamination. The site has no fence or other containment features designed to limit access or exposure to site wastes. Hazardous substances associated with the site source areas include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE), and metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium and lead). In addition, a groundwater plume of VOCs is documented onsite and extending southward, impacting drinking water supply wells along Route 106 as far as 0.36 miles from the site. Seven drinking water supply wells near the site are contaminated with VOCs at concentrations exceeding health-based benchmarks.

Adopted by the General Assembly November 30 - December 3, 1995 Atlanta
Compassionate and Comfort Care Decisions at the End of Life
Background Because the synagogue is the focus of our communal life and the setting of our collective delibera- tions about life's most important events, we affirm the obligation of the synagogue community to educate its members regarding Judaism's belief in the dignity and sanctity of human life.
As the end of life approaches, the choices before us become difficult and troubling. Possibilities of survival engendered by medical technology may also unnaturally prolong the dying process.
Our movement has already affirmed the right to refuse medical treatment that only prolongs the act of dying, but it is clear that not all needs are met by the withholding or withdrawal of medical treatment at the end of life. There are those who, nearing the end of life's journey, would choose to live. We have yet to assert the obligations that our community has to those who cannot be cured of their disease but whose future promises nothing but pain and suffering. While acknowledging that many would choose not to endure such a life, most such choices do not need to be made when adequate palliative care and support can be provided.
Guided by the mitzvah of pikuach nefesh, we must strive toward an achievable goal, to provide a quality of life that is at least tolerable for each one whose journey ends in pain and suffering. Our effort must ensure that only rarely will that choice be beyond human strength. We assert that most of the tragic choices to end life can be avoided through the combined efforts of caring doctors, clergy, providers, family, and community. By providing caring support for families and assisting in the development of hospices and similar environments where spiritual and physical needs are met, our congregations can help to preserve the meaning and purpose of our lives as we approach the end of the journey.
THEREFORE, the Union of American Hebrew Congregations resolves to:
1. Address our society's need to provide adequate comfort care at the end of life;
2. Develop and distribute more educational and programmatic material regarding a liberal Jewish approach to end-of-life decisions;
3. Develop and distribute material that would raise awareness of the issues of pain and suffering and quality of life in order to enable sound decision making by all concerned;
4. Encourage the expansion of opportunities for rabbinic and cantorial students and rabbis and cantors in the field to participate in training programs designed to develop skills in end-of- life issues;
5. Call upon our congregations to develop connections with Jewish hospice programs in their communities and to explore their creation where they do not exist; and
6. Call on the Committee on Bio-Ethics to work with the Central Conference of American Rabbis' Committee on Responsa to provide us with guidance with respect to physician- assisted death and active voluntary euthanasia.

The USTA today announced that it will honor the Easter Bowl and its founder and tournament director, Seena Hamilton, for the tournament's longevity and success at the opening reception for the 2007 event Sunday, April 15. Hamilton has been the tournament director since 1968, the only U.S. junior tournament to retain the same director for that length of time.
The 40th Annual Easter Bowl, a USTA National Spring Championship, will be held for the first time at the Rancho Las Palmas Resort in Rancho Mirage, Calif., April 15-22. The Easter Bowl showcases the best of American juniors, both boys and girls, in 14s, 16s, and 18s. It is the only national championship featuring three age divisions, their families and their coaches are all present at one time. Nearly every top U.S. tennis player has played at the Easter Bowl, including Pete Sampras, Jim Courier, Andre Agassi, Lindsay Davenport, Jennifer Capriati and most recently, Andy Roddick and James Blake.
"Seena Hamilton has created a one of a kind environment for top competition," said Lew Brewer, Director, Junior Competition for USTA Player Development. "Everyone looks forward to playing the Easter Bowl. Seena brought the tournament up from the beginning, turned it into a top junior event and kept it there."
The Easter Bowl has prided itself about being more than just tennis. Hamilton created the Easter Bowl in part to encourage players and their families to mingle and socialize with each other. She bases all her planning around the idea that a junior tennis tournament should be a learning experience for both the players and their parents. Over the years, Hamilton has turned the event into a national junior tennis convention for parents, players and coaches.

Land animals, birds, wheat and fruit offerings all feature on the list of offerings that Bnei Israel bring for Hashem.
Is there anyone that discusses why there are no fish korbanot?
The Midrash Tanchuma (Vayikra 1:7) asks your question:
And why do we offer up sacrifices from birds, sheep and goats but not from fish?
Because they (animals and birds) resemble man as they are born from the stomach of their mother like man. Thus, they atone for man. Fish, however, are eggs, that they emerge from and live.
I do have a peshat as to what this means (obviously birds come from eggs, too), but I'll have to add this in later..
The Ramban says the reason why their are no chicken Korbanos is because chickens are promiscuous. Seemingly, the same answer would apply to fish who mate frequently. (See also Kli Yakar, Parshas Behaloscha on Basar)

4-Pack: One-Dose-a-Day Garcinia Cambogia 60% HCA + Coconut Extract - 30 Tablets Each
$25.00 Our Price
$120.00 Retail
Feeling a bit sluggish? Tired of those extra pounds weighing you down? Then this deal is for you! Garcinia Cambogia is a small, pumpkin-like fruit grown in parts of India and Asia. The extract derived from the fruit rind contains HCA, which works as an appetite suppressant and fat burner. HCA inhibits the enzyme citrate lyase and may keep carbohydrates from turning into fat. Instead of converting food into fat, the liver focuses on converting stored fat into extra energy, hence a higher HCA standardized to 60% is vital for improved weight loss. It also may increase serotonin levels and help to balance mood. Snap up this great deal today for healthy weight management and a natural source of electrolytes and energy. This particular kind is even better—you need just 1 dose per day and the addition of coconut balances electrolytes! Grab this great deal today.

All the latest on the world's youngest royals
The resurrection of Phoebe's dubious musical offering went down a storm at a benefit concert in LA

Others talking part in the show included Alanis Morisette and Aussie actress Isla Fisher

It went down in history as a classic Friends moment. And this week it was recreated by Lisa Kudrow - aka Phoebe - and Courteney Cox Arquette, who played Monica, on stage at a musical benefit in LA.
As the audience cheered, the actresses gave a rendition of Phoebe's self-composed song Smelly Cat. And hitting the right notes wasn't really a concern if they wanted the performance to reflect Lisa's character's dubious musical talents in the series.

The Oregon football team held its fifth spring practice of the month this morning, inside the Moshofsky Center. Tomorrow there will be officials on hand for practice, and while Chip Kelly prefers to avoid the label, players usually refer to those as scrimmages.
"I look forward to every day," redshirt freshman receiver Devon Blackmon said. "Of course a scrimmage does have a little more pressure, because you want to shine for the coaches. But I just take it one day at a time."
Kelly said he'll review with the officials new rules in place for the 2012 season, notably those affecting kickoffs. In hopes of avoiding particularly violent collisions that can lead to major injury, kicks will be placed at the 35-yard line rather than the 30, a touchback will go out to the 25-yard line rather than the 20, and players on the kickoff team can only get a 5-yard head start before the kick.
"You've got to be five yards within the kicker; what has to be five yards within the kicker? Is it your foot or your hand or whatever?" Kelly said. "We'll get some of the specifics. Those guys coming in, it's a learning process for us as coaches on how they're going to interpret. We can read the rule, but what my understanding of the rule is doesn't matter. It's what their understanding of the rule is. We'll get a chance to visit with those guys tomorrow and ask them some questions."
Today's practice featured an overtime drill, Kelly said, that went two rounds and featured touchdowns in the first overtime and then a field goal and a "game-winning" touchdown in the second overtime. Kelly said all three of Oregon's kickers, Rob Beard, Alejandro Maldonado and Eric Solis, attempted a kick during the scenario.
"They all hit their shots down there," Kelly said. "… They were chip shots. They should have made them, they were in close."
Regarding receiver Josh Huff, labeled "out right now" by a teammate on Saturday, Kelly said Huff "has been going through practice." Experience tells me Kelly is protecting his player here and that while Huff is dressing and attending practices, he might not be "going through practice" as extensively as most everybody else. But we can't say for sure.
Also, Kelly said they're still blasting music during practices. Again, this contradicts my sense of things. Last fall, we could always hear booming bass from outside the Mo Center while practice was going on, and this spring I can often clearly hear whistles and voices when I walk by the building to the interview area. Take all that for what it's worth.

Achilles BursitisAchilles bursitis, also known as retrocalcaneal bursitis, is a common condition in athletes. A bursa is a small sack of fluid that goes between a tendon and a bone to help the tendon move smoothly over the bone. The retrocalcaneal bursa lies between the Achilles tendon and the calcaneus (heel bone). With repeated trauma the bursa can become inflamed. It can often be mistaken for Achilles tendonitis. When a patient has Achilles tendonitis and Achilles bursitis at the same time, it is known as Haglund's syndrome.
Achilles Bursitis CausesThe major cause of Achilles bursitis is overuse, most likely from too much walking, running or jumping. It's no wonder that Achilles bursitis is especially common in athletes. A sudden increase in activity level without proper conditioning can increase a patient's risk for Achilles bursitis.
Achilles Bursitis SymptomsThe most common symptom of Achilles bursitis is pain at the back of the heel, especially when running uphill or on soft surfaces such as sand. Pain may get worse when standing on tiptoes. The area may also feel tender when touched, and some patients report that the heel may feel "spongy". Some swelling may also be observed.
Achilles Bursitis TreatmentAs with any injury, your doctor will be the best source of advice on the appropriate treatment method for your situation. Typical treatment of Achilles bursitis starts by resting the foot and avoiding activities that cause pain. Applying ice for cold therapy can also alleviate pain and swelling. Patients may also take anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen or aspirin. A heel support such as DonJoy Silicone Heel Cups may be used for added comfort when walking. Symptoms will usually clear up after several weeks.
If these Achilles bursitis treatments do not work, a physician may use a steroid injection to reduce inflammation in the retrocalcaneal bursa. This is followed up by rest, as the bursa may rupture, especially if the injection is given more than once. The doctor may also place the foot in a cast, especially if the patient has Achilles bursitis in conjunction with Achilles tendonitis. In rare cases, surgery may be needed to remove the affected bursa.

So you are wondering how to invest in 3D printing but don't know where to start? Well, let's start with a couple of questions to see if you are ready to get in the stock market game:
1) Have you thoroughly researched the stock(s) you are thinking about investing in?
2) Have you decided how much money you want to invest? Also, have you taken Stocks should be a PART of your total investment strategy, not ALL of it. You are taking a risk with the money you invest in the stock market so please be sure you understand all of the possible outcomes (even the negative ones).
3) Have you decided a strategy for how you want to invest?
Let's go through and address each of these questions one by one. The first question asked if you have done your research on the stocks you are looking to invest in. Based on the fact that you are on this site, I am going to assume that you are interested in investing in the various 3d printing technologies. If this is the case, I have done my very best to provide you with all of the information on these stocks so you can make an educated decision as to what companies to invest in. If you have not already done so, please check out the List Of 3d Printing Stocks I have compiled and read up on each company. It is very important to feel confident in the company you are investing in. Billionaire Warren Buffet is quoted as saying "'If you don't feel comfortable owning something for 10 years, then don't own it for 10 minutes."
Next you need to look at how much money you have to invest in the stock market. This is actually a very easy number. Before you are going to invest any amount of money you need to ask yourself a question: If you woke up tomorrow and all of that money was gone, would you still be able to go about your life (Pay your bills, eat, pay for gas, etc.).
The last thing you need to figure out is what your strategy will be. My personal recommendation is to buy stocks that you feel will gain value over the long term. Again I will refer to Warren Buffet who said "Always invest for the long term."
How and where to Buy Stocks
Now the hardest part for me when I first got into buying stocks was getting over the initial intimidation of the whole process. Buying stocks sounds like a big, scary deal… but it's not! It's actually incredibly easy. There are a two main ways to go about buying stocks. The first way is to use a full-service brokerage. These brokerages manage your accounts and cost a lot more. The simplest, easiest and cheapest way to go about buying stocks is to get an account with an online discount brokerage. These are online brokers (such as TradeKing, Etrade, and Scottrade) that allow you to buy and sell stocks yourself. They usually also have plenty of online tools such as access to charts and online communities to talk about various aspects of the market.
The main advantage to an online discount brokerage is that they do not have to pay people to manage your account. This allows them to keep your cost of buying and selling stocks way down. Most of these sites charge a flat rate per trade and some of them have minimum amounts of money you must put in your account.
My favorite discount brokerage site is . I have found them to have the cheapest rate per trade at $4.95 per trade (most of the other sites I checked out charged $7 or more per trade). This is good because the less you spend per trade, the greater your profits will be per trade. They have no minimum balance to open an account which is great if you are just starting out and don't have a ton of money to invest. This is one of the reasons I was so afraid to get involved in the stock market. A lot of sites have a minimum deposit requirement well above what I was ready to invest. TradeKing has no minimums. Some other things that I liked about are the free tools (such as charting tools and an iPhone app) that they offer you to analyze your stocks. These come in handy from time to time. Check around and compare the different brokerages and see what is appealing to you. Make sure you consider the cost per trade, minimum deposit, reputation, and ease of use.
Now you are ready to open an account. You will need to fill out all of your personal information. You will also need to provide information for tax purposes as all brokerages are required to report to the IRS. Once your account is opened you will be asked for your bank account information so you can deposit money into your account and get started. This also allows them to pay you when you sell your stocks!
You are well on your way to investing! You have the information you need to get started and you are now ready to jump in. I recommend you stop waiting for the "right time" and . There is no cost to open an account and you can start with as little or as much money as you want. I started off with $35 (the cost of going out to dinner) and grew from there.
Remember: As long as you are sitting on the sidelines, you are not making any money! Give it a shot and invest in your future!

1 pound kosher sausage, preferably smoked andouille
2 cups boiling water
1. Stem the spinach and wash it thoroughly. Drain.
2. Place a large, heavy-bottom pot over high heat and add the olive oil and spinach. (You may need to add in batches, stirring until each batch wilts before adding the next.)
3. As soon as any remaining water has evaporated from the leaves and they just begin to fry, lower the heat. Gently cook the leaves, stirring frequently. (If they burn, the dish must be started over again.) Cook the leaves until they are of an almost jam-like consistency and are greenish-black in color (this is called the "black gold" stage), about 1 1/2 to 2 hours (timing will vary depending on the heat of the oil and thickness of the pot).
4. Remove the pot from the heat. Strain the spinach from the oil, and place the spinach in a bowl. To the oil in the pot, add 2 quarts water, the beans, onion, garlic, mint, cinnamon and black pepper. Stir in the calf's foot if using.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. As soon as it comes to a boil, stir in the spinach and beef, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, uncovered, until the meat is fork-tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. (The liquid level will reduce as the t'fina cooks and should ultimately have a sauce-like consistency; if the liquid evaporates too quickly, add additional water as needed until the meat is tender.)
6. Meanwhile, make the couscous: Place the couscous in a large shallow glass baking pan and stir in 1 tablespoon salt and the canola oil. Spread the couscous into a thin, even layer, then pour over the 2 cups boiling water and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Set the couscous aside for 5 to 10 minutes until the water is absorbed, then uncover and fluff the couscous gently with a fork. Set aside in a warm place until the t'fina is ready.
7. When the meat is tender, stir in the sausage and remaining teaspoon salt. Continue to cook the t'fina until the sausage is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Strain any excess oil from the pan and discard. Season to taste with additional salt if desired.
8. On a large plate or platter, mound the couscous. Using a slotted spoon, plate the t'fina on another platter (a deep, pasta-style platter) with the meat, sausage and optional calf's foot arranged on top. Spoon additional sauce, as desired, over the dish. Serve immediately.
Each serving: 727 calories; 39 grams protein; 72 grams carbohydrates; 14 grams fiber; 33 grams fat; 8 grams saturated fat; 54 mg. cholesterol; 1,775 mg. sodium.

Single Payer for Kids
What happens when private companies compete with Uncle Sam.
Democrats are planning to use the autumn budget reconciliation to bring America further down the road to a single-payer system—and not just in health care. Responding to a White House request, pending House legislation would make the federal government the dominant lender in the $100 billion market for student loans.
Not that Congress has traditionally kept its hands off this business. As in health care, intervention in the education market has gone hand-in-hand with rising costs. While government accounts for 41% of health-care spending, the feds guarantee or issue roughly 80% of student loans, subsidizing the rates and also offering a slew of grant programs. Not by coincidence, higher education costs have risen much faster even than in the health-care market. From 1982 through 2007, college tuition and fees increased 439% in nominal dollars, almost triple the rise in median family income, according to the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education.
Now the plan is to squeeze out what remains of the private market. Until now, there were three options for students needing to borrow for college: private loans, government loans and loans made by private lenders but guaranteed by the government. The plan for the fall is to outlaw this last category—more than half the current market—while tightening the noose around the small share that remains free and poses no threat to taxpayers. Simply put, we are watching in student loans exactly what ObamaCare's harshest critics have forecast for health care: a "public option" that ultimately destroys all competition.
Federally guaranteed loans have long offered roughly the same rates whether issued by a private lender or directly from the government. Turned off by customer service that's good enough for government work, students have voted overwhelmingly for the private lenders. But by next summer all new guaranteed loans would have to come direct from Uncle Sam. Many colleges see an administrative train wreck. Sarah Bauder, who heads the financial aid office at the University of Maryland, recently warned Members of Congress that "The perils and costs associated with moving entirely to one loan system for students need to be re-evaluated." She notes that the Department of Education doesn't apply the same rigorous procedures as private lenders to prevent defaults.
Ms. Bauder warns of possible "disruption to our students." Some disruption would be worth it if Congress was moving toward a true market economy. Yet the legislation from Rep. George Miller (D., Calif.) goes in the opposite direction. Along with outlawing government-backed loans issued by private lenders, the bill also strengthens the power of the "public option" versus pure market loans. Mr. Miller ramps up so-called Perkins loans to $6 billion from $1 billion, offering a fixed rate of 5% for borrowers who had largely been using the private loans. For another category of federal loans, Mr. Miller allows students to enjoy a variable rate if interest rates fall, and a cap in the event that they rise. This kind of heads-borrowers-win, tails-taxpayers-lose offer will be difficult for a private company to match.
Mr. Miller has also locked in low fixed rates for the most popular types of Stafford loans—as low as 3.4% for some undergraduates. If inflation and interest rates surge after the Federal Reserve money-creation festival, taxpayers will still have to subsidize these loans even if Uncle Sam has to pay much more to borrow.
In another 2008 change, a Miller bill placed new paperwork requirements on private loans. While rigging the rules for their public option, Democrats also proclaim that it's cheaper to have the federal government run this business. That's because government accounting makes federal lending appear to be a winner by ignoring long-term risks. Interest-rate and default risks are not fully priced into the government's cost estimates. The government also doesn't include the foregone tax revenue when private firms are replaced by the feds.
Georgia Representative Tom Price has tried to shine a light on all of this. Early last year the Republican won a committee vote to require the government to report the direct loan program's impact on the national debt and to conduct audits. Mr. Miller killed the reporting requirement with a floor amendment. Then in a House-Senate conference, Mr. Miller and Senator Ted Kennedy (D., Mass.) wiped out the new auditing rules. If taxpayers really benefit, wouldn't the program's backers want more transparency, not less?
What we have here is Congress aiding, abetting and obfuscating a government takeover of an industry. Hill sources tell us that then-Senator Barack Obama's aides were steadfast in urging Democrats to enact the 2008 law. Now President Obama is explicit about wanting the government to take the dominant role in student loans. It has grown difficult for Mr. Obama to deny that he favors a single-payer system. The question is how much of the U.S. economy will have to live under it.

My 4 year old and I walk everywhere and sometimes to get us going we jog one pole then walk to the next then job 2 poles and walk one and before we know it we are to where we are going.
The whole family gets involved! 41
To get my kids involved in their nutrition, I challenged my children, now 14,12 and 9 to see who could come up with the most nutritional meal. Each kid gets to cook one meal per week and we have an pride wall to show off the kids favorite recipes. We've done this for 10 years and the kids love choosing some of their meals.
My kids are young but whenever I can get them to help out I do...even if it means that it will take me longer or it won't be done perfectly. My kids are 4 years and 18 months. They help with the dishes, so while I empty the dishwasher of its plates and glasses, after removing the sharp knives, they will put away the spoons, forks and other utensils. I let my 4 year old daughter put face clothes in a stack, or put away underwear. Whenever they can help out they just love it and participate.

ELMA, N.Y.- They train in Elma, play their home games in Rochester and tout the biggest name in women's soccer.
The WNY Flash has become a home for stars. Two years ago, international superstar Marta played for the Flash. Last season it was Alex Morgan, and this summer a huge homecoming. The all-time leading goal scorer in international competition has returned to her roots and eyes an NWSL championship for the Flash.
Abby Wambach was raised in the Rochester area and has risen through the ranks of soccer stardom. After the retirement of Mia Hamm, Wambach was the heir apparent and rose to the occasion. In addition to her scoring record of 160 international goals, Wambach has two Olympic golds, an NCAA title and has her sights set on a World Cup crowm in 2015.
While the World Cup is her long-term dream, at present, she and fellow National Team star Carli Lloyd are doing all they can to bring home a championship to Western New York.

An easy way to make sure the Big Zip is secure is to push it against a tree or wall as opposed to using a pinching method between fingers and thumb. Test it by giving a good squeeze.
To Sean Perry, Chris Wallace, and all others who use their Steripens with narrow mouth Platypus bladders/bottles:I called and spoke to Miles Maiden of SteriPen (Hydro-Photon) today. Miles explained that the Steripen should be used with wide-mouth or open containers, to allow a full immersion of the glass UV tube. When asked, he specifically recommended against using narrow-mouth containers such as the 1L Platypus.Finally, for the reason stated above, tests performed by Hydro-Photon and the independent testers were all done using open or wide-mouth containers.
How do you even get a narrow mouth platy to work ben? The water has to be on the sensor area which is much larger than the glass tube for it to work properly anyway?Anyway I'll confirm that the glass tube goes all the way inside a standard opening bike bottle and the sensor gets wet providing proper operation (plus it's opaque so you can't see the UV light) :)
Hi Chris:Actually, with the Steripen's very narrow glass tube and rubberized base, you can insert the tube into a narrow mouth platy until it "stops" at the rubberized base. Then, you can turn the Platy upside down and agitate -- without a drop of water leaking out!Sean first mentioned it up above, followed by a confirm from Chris Wallace. That got me pretty excited, so I called Miles @ Steripen to confirm effectiveness. Alas, negatore, so I wanted to pass this info back.
Edited by ben2world on 09/05/2007 15:35:45 MDT.
I have an adventurer and while the glass tube fits in the opening it doesn't trigger the metal sensor.
Well...I have the cap, but haven't had the chance to drill/cut out the hole. Soon!
I just use my Foster's beer can pot to scoop water to pour into my Platypus. If the water has 'floaties', I jam a bandana into the narrow mouth of the Platy pushing it in to form a small depression I pour the water thru.Saves that extra half ounce of weight over carrying an 'extra' scoop.The bandana probably does not work as easily as Ben's mesh cap insert though. It is sometimes a pain to keep it in place with enough of a depression to pour sufficient water quantities thru without the bandana deflecting too much of the water.Pam
I've never actually used the SteriPen/Platy combo in the field, I just confirmed it would work using tap water @ home. Guess I need to get a Nalgene Cantene to use it with. I have some AquaMira but having to wait 30 mins means I would have to carry extra water (I assume)and given it's weight it'd still be lighter to carry an old fashioned filter. Maybe I'll try a gravity filter..
The new UV Aquastar mUV is designed to use in this way, and in my experience works fine with narrow mouth Platys and various plastic water and drink bottles.Anybody ancient enough to have done their own film developing (you know who you are) know the correct technique: leave some airspace in the container, and slowly invert and return while treating. You'll get plenty of water movement for complete treatment.It can also be dropped into a pot or widemouth container.
Rick:Using the device with a narrow-mouth platy -- have you talked to /confirmed with Aquastar about its effectiveness? Wonder if they had done any actual testing, etc.?
> The new UV Aquastar mUV is designed to use in this way, and in my experience works fine with narrow mouth Platys and various plastic water and drink bottles.That worries me. The amount of water in proximity to the UV lamp sounds very small. I don't think I would risk it. (I use a pot.)
Ben,I finally got back to that Platypus filter. Well, it's a great filter in the sense that not much will get through...unfortunately, that seems to include water. I tried it out in my sink with clean tap water. The screen is so fine and is relatively small (~1/2" diam), that it takes pretty long for the water to pass through. I tried tapping the screen to dislodge bubbles, and speed the process, but it was still slow (too slow for me to feel like measuring it). It would probably work fairly well with a foot or two of head pressure, but I'm thinking that I'd probably want it most when the water level is low.Tom

Search giant Google has tonight claimed it's on the music industry's side in the anti-piracy war - but the BPI simply doesn't believe it.
Speaking on the BBC's Newsnight programme, Google UK policy manager Theo Bertram claimed that the firm is now actively choking the financing of illegal filesharing sites at their source - rather than considering automatic delistings for pirate sites.
"It's not for Google to go around the web, judging what is or isn't legal and I don't think people would want us to," he said. "When people tell us 'That's my content on that page', we remove the page quickly – we do that nearly 2 million times every month. But our research shows however much you do on filtering or blocking, what is much more effective is to go after the money – to remove the financial underpinnings, the advertising, the payment processes."
When pressed on whether this meant Google was now 'anti-piracy' by journalist Rory Cellan-Jones, Bertram dropped the bombshell: "You can be pro-freedom of expression and anti-piracy – that's true of Google, the the tech industry as a whole - the responsible players - and the music industry."
Google's response will no doubt confuse labels and publishers who believe the search giant is itself making money through its Google Ads mechanism - found on many pirate sites.
BPI CEO Geoff Taylor also strongly questioned how 'anti-piracy' Google could be when it continues to display search results for content on a legally "blocked site" (i.e. The Pirate Bay) above those for iTunes or Amazon when consumers search 'music downloads'.
He pointed out that Google was in "complete control" of its algorithm - the formula that decides which sites rank above others in its listings, commenting: "Once we've told Google 100,000 times a particular site is illegal, we think it shouldn't come above iTunes or Spotify in the search results... How can that be right?"
Taylor was not directly shown on camera speaking about Google profiting from advertising on torrent portals - something that would clearly appear to be at odds with Bertram's claims. However, Cellan-Jones did mention that the industry says that Google "makes money from pirate sites".
Charlatans drummer Jon Brookes said of the suggestion: "They're on the make, they're not showing any respect. I think that's wrong. Something should be done about it. It's not morally right."
Cellan-Jones later added that although the BPI believes credit card firms and advertisers are starting to join the mission to strangle funds to pirate sites, Google remained 'intransigent'.
The BPI's Taylor also inferred that Google holds undue sway with Government on both sides of the Atlantic, something the search company denied off-camera.
The most depressing result of the feature was the fate of Son Records, the decade-old UK hip-hop label.
After seeing piracy erode his business, founder Alastair Nicholson was "horrified" by the search results for new release, Genghis by Cappo and Stylee C. He witnessed five pages of links to pirate sites when he searched the album's artist and title in Google as soon as it had been released.
Son Records, Cellan-Jones reported, had now "released its last record".
"Unless you're going to become a corporate mascot for Barclaycard or Weetabix, I don't really see there's that many ways to make a business selling music," said Nicholson.
Cellan-Jones wrapped up by noting that the UK industry's annual worth was now in the region of £800m - a third of the size of Google.
The music industry's war with the tech giant, he suggested, could see it end up "on the wrong side of history".

I don't know about you, but I am definitely giving summer a big, fat hug this year to celebrate the most laid-back and color-filled season of seasons.
There will be plenty of tasty popsicle treats, geo drink stirrers, and watermelon donuts for me this year. I'm going all in. And to keep the ball rolling on DIY summer entertaining ideas, I am working with CreativeLive on a little summer series.
I'll be sharing four colorful DIYs for summer: two on CreativeLive and two here. And it all kicks off today!
So, you can make a set of colorful watercolor napkins here and then pop over to CreativeLive here to learn how to make those cute, edible place cards you see in the photos, for summer parties.
Paint a set of wooden picnic utensils or buy some awesome handmade ones, like mine from Mr and Mrs P, and just like that, you have your place settings covered for a summer get-together with friends.
Here's how to create a custom set of watercolor napkins in under an hour (including drying time).
set of napkins (I used this metallic set from West Elm - they're on sale) // paint brush // paper cup // fabric paint (or acrylic paint and textile medium) // bowl of water // iron (optional)
How To:
1. Unfold and soak each napkin in a bowl of water and wring out excess water. You want the napkins to be damp but not soaking wet.
2. Lay each napkin out flat (and completely unfolded).
3. Add a little bit of water to a paper cup (just enough to cover the bottom of the cup) and mix in your fabric paint. This waters down the paint to give you more of a watercolor effect. Since your napkins are already damp though, you don't want to add too much water and over dilute the paint.
4. Begin painting each napkin in your desired design. I'd recommend keeping any design ideas kind of loose for this project though, just to keep things gestural and unfussy.
5. Once a design has been painted on each napkin, take them outside to dry naturally in the sun. On a sunny day, this will help speed up the drying times considerably and is a good excuse to step outside for a few minutes and enjoy the weather.
6. Once dry, iron out any wrinkles and fold. Done!

Thanks Amy. As long as you are using fabric / textile paint or textile medium, then they should hold up well in the washer, with no problems.Brittni commented on July 11th, 2014 at 12:04 pm
Does anyone have suggestions when doing the napkins for the paint and colors to buy? I'm finding only puffy paint for fabric paint and bright colors for acrylic. Thank you!Lily commented on July 11th, 2014 at 12:06 pm
I'm not sure what color you're looking for exactly, but if you buy clear textile medium (which can be purchased on Amazon or at a craft store), you can use any acrylic paint that you'd like for the most part. Which may make it easier to find the colors you want. Hope that helps.Brittni commented on July 11th, 2014 at 12:08 pm
Thanks Brittni. I just want pastel colors like the pictures. When you say fabric paint as an option, do you mean the puffy paint?Lily commented on July 11th, 2014 at 1:26 pm
Hi Lily. No, I would not recommend puffy paint. I like Jacqaurd textile paint, which can be found here in tons of colors: http://www.dickblick.com/products/jacquard-textile-colors/
I've also used Tulip soft fabric paint before (the 4 oz bottles), which come in a variety of colors: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=tulip+soft+fabric+paint
Jacqaurd is my favorite, but both are good. And again, if you don't find the color you are looking for, buy it in regular acrylic instead and then add clear textile medium to the paint according to the instructions on the bottle and that will work just as well. Happy painting!Brittni commented on July 12th, 2014 at 2:58 pm

Would you recommend that the napkins be cotton? Or linen? Would polyesters work? Can't wait to give these a try!!Lynley Reeve commented on October 14th, 2014 at 7:48 pm
Good question. My suggestion would be cotton. I think linen would work as well, though I'm not sure about polyester. Hope that helps! Happy crafting!Brittni commented on October 15th, 2014 at 2:59 am
