The mine field would have been put up after the last Andromedan invasion.
And before the first Andromedan war, even if it wasn't that long before the war, just because the Federation hadn't noticed them yet, the Andromedan's would have wandered around free and friendly... They could have colony worlds inside the Milkyway, or they would be working as fifth columns in secret on the Federation side of the antimatter minefield and had been waiting a hundred years for a call to arms.
Point is, they didn't have to get past the mine field if they were already there, but if they were already there, why did they need a punk like Travis to wedge a hole in the line?
As Orac proposed, a scout ship came through with a handful of Andromedans "some time in the past", and at some stage made contact with the Federation/Travis.
They needed him to track down Star One as they didn't know where it was
, and as that is where the minefield is being controlled from they couldn't launch their invasion until it was down.
Judging by what was happening on Star One they only found it within the last two months, as indicated by the issues on colony worlds at the start of the episode ("in the last 60 days"). Clearly the Andromedans were either;
- messing with systems to cause havoc
- messing with systems to find the way in to disable the minefield
- the fact the Star One humans had been killed and replaced then their responsibilities lapses and the colonies fell into disarray
I don't know if there was a war but the encounter clearly scared the Federation enough to put up a series of minefields around the galaxy.
Travis was using Blake to find Star One.
"I'd rather be judged by twelve than carried by six."

The results from a nationally representative HIV incidence study in Swaziland indicate that the national rate of new HIV infections is 2.38% among adults ages 18-49. This figure, comparable to the 2009 UNAIDS estimate of 2.66% for Swaziland adults ages 15-49, suggests that the HIV epidemic in Swaziland may have begun to stabilize in the past few years. The findings of the Swaziland HIV Incidence Measurement Survey (SHIMS) were presented today at the XIX International AIDS Conference in Washington DC.
"The country continues to have very high HIV incidence rates. Since HIV services in Swaziland are more widely available now and we understand that ART treatment prevents the spread of new infections, the Ministry of Health will use these new results to plan HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs in Swaziland," said Rejoice Nkambule, deputy director of health services public health at the Ministry of Health. SHIMS was led by the Swaziland Ministry of Health and supported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and ICAP at Columbia University through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
SHIMS is a multi-phase study designed to evaluate the impact of HIV prevention and treatment services in the country. The first phase of the SHIMS survey included approximately 13,000 households in Swaziland, representing a cross-section of the national population and consisting of 18,154 men and women, ages 18-49. Findings from the first phase indicated that the national prevalence of HIV in Swaziland is the highest in the world, with 31% of adults infected.
HIV-negative adults from the survey who gave permission were retested six months later and the number of new HIV infections were assessed using state-of-the-art laboratory methods. Retention rates were high, with 94% of participants completing follow-up at six months. "This is the gold standard method for measuring HIV incidence and it hasn't been a

Brought to America in a harrowing tale of escape from oppression, the signature sauce now trickles beneath layers of smoked pork, ham, swiss cheese, and dill pickles on the cuban sandwich or traditional masitas de puerco made with tender cubed pork. Selecting from a stash of family recipes, chefs fill plates with bold flavors and cap meals with such sweet treats as coconut flan and rice pudding. As the sun falls out of the sky on Fridays and Saturdays, live salsa music populates the dining room with toe-tapping beats and digestion-aiding rhythms.216 Ponce De Leon Ave NEAtlanta, GA US
Pan American BakeryRead MorePan American Bakery in Atlanta is one of the better-priced bakeries in the area, featuring a deeply flavorful menu that won't cost a fortune. Whether you are stopping in for the excellent quality, lightning-fast service, or both, you will never leave this restaurant unsatisfied. There's no particular required attire, so feel free to dress comfortably. Also, though the overall price can be a bit on the low side, you won't be sacrificing any quality. In fact, you should be able to enjoy a good meal for $11 or $12, and can probably get in and out for $8 if you try. Upon arrival, see if you can try the cheese, the bread, or the sandwich, as each one will impress. You'll be glad you did! A highly-regarded option for lunch, a visit to Pan American Bakery is definitely worthwhile. Its owner is known to be "nice." Don't worry about trying to find a spot on the street, as visitors to the restaurant do have access to a private parking lot nearby.3671 Clairmont RdAtlanta, GA US

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse (PLSG), the private/public partnership putting the region's life sciences industry on a fast track for growth, announced that the PLSG has invested $115,000 in Innovention Technologies, LLC, a developmental-stage medical device company, whose goal is to develop and commercialize a highly-maneuverable surgical probe that will alleviate the existing limitations of endoscopic devices used in minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
Innovention Technologies is a spin-out from Carnegie Mellon University and it is led by an interdisciplinary team of experts in robotics, robotic surgery and minimally-invasive cardiac surgery (MICS).
Innovention Technologies is developing advanced robotic technologies for use in a wide range of applications, including: medical, industrial, military and law enforcement. The company's highly articulated robotic probes have unlimited degrees of freedom, are teleoperated, and are able to steer a self-supported, non-linear path. Innoventions' first product is a highly-articulated robotic probe (HARP) with feeder (the "HARP Product"). The HARP Product is highly maneuverable and once entered through a natural orifice or small incision, is designed to steer around organs to reach anatomical targets not normally accessible by conventional endoscopic tools. The HARP mechanical features include its ability to alternate between being rigid and flexible, and "remember" its previous configurations. This allows the HARP to reach very small cavities within the body and remain in a desired shape and orientation while the doctor performs surgery without having to hold the device anymore.
"The PLSG is excited to support Innoventions' continued
commercialization efforts. Innoventions' core technology promises to
combine advanced, yet simple methodologies in robotic surgery to more
effectively deliver intended surgical benefits for increased patient care,"
said John W.

Hiss Golden Messenger successfully swapped the hurt and intimacy of frontman MC Taylor's solo gigs for a full and rocking electric band sound last night. A less than perfect PA set-up at Brighton's Bleach left lyrics mostly indisinguishable but guitars and keyboards crunched effectively around Scott Hirsch's loping bass and a pert hi-hat.
The set began and ended with Taylor singing and playing alone, his bandmates harmonising off-mic, but in between the energy level seldom dropped. They were clearly having fun and the audience responded.
I was reminded that at some point trawling the internet I'd managed to download a very nice HGM mixtape called Wah-Wah Cowboys, Vol II. The said pedal may not have been physically present last night, but that title very much captured the spirit , as the chaps threw in a Waylon Jennings cover alongside sometimes drastically re-arranged originals.
Good stuff.]]>
I've certainly bought enough music this year and a lot of it has been of real quality. But I guess the striking thing, looking at my ten favourites, is that there are few new names: most of those featured - good as they are - have also had records in earlier annual lists.
And it has also been a great year for archive releases - the 6 CD Basement Tapes Complete is a superbly packaged document of record while, for everyday use, the 3 LP/2 CD Basement Tapes Raw has the really key stuff looking and sounding great. Add into the mix 3 CDs and a DVD of CSNY 1974 and you start to be pushed for time to listen to much else. And that's before getting to the 6 CD set of The Velvet Underground's gorgeous third album, which has had stunning reviews but I haven't yet brought myself to shell out for: can even I justify having a mono mix of the main record, alongside two alternative stereo ones? A mono 'Murder Mystery' is simply perverse...
But, enough of that. Without further ado, the ten new releases of 2013 that I rate most highly:
10. Steve Gunn - Way Out Weather
The first of two appearances in this year's list from a superb guitarist, who also has a lovely knack of combining his talents with a range of different collaborators. Here he is on his own release, playing and singing with confidence, verve and sometimes unnerving technique.
What's more, my daughter's band Ray Gun opened for him when he played in Ramsgate last month - a huge shame I couldn't be there with them...
9. Ryley Walker - All Kinds Of You
Sometimes sounding unnervingly like a young Bert Jansch, Chicagoan Ryley Walker has a real confidence and character of his own that make this a compelling listen. Beautiful arrangements (again with some Pentangle echoes) of strong songs. As I said when I first heard it
That all may sound artificial and knowingly retro, but the end product strikes me as organic and convincingly in the here and now.
I'm still feeling the same, eight months on.
8. Thurston Moore - The Best Day
Despite my best efforts, I've never really come to love Sonic Youth. Appreciate and respect, yes; but no more than that. Thurston Moore's solo albums, though, are a different thing - and The Best Day is up there with the best of them. The palette is more varied, with chugging electric grooves and noisier elements in amongst the acoustic melodicism which first drew me to records like Demolished Thoughts.
And, as I said when it came out, the cover art is beautiful - a series of old photos of Moore's parents. Worth buying on vinyl for the cover alone: you can always think later about whether you own a turntable.
7. Steve Gunn & Mike Cooper - Cantos de Lisboa
It's that man again... Gunn in a one-off collaboration with Mike Cooper, whose music I hadn't really known before. He's a Brit who started off playing blues in the sixties before expanding into a range of rockier and avant garde styles. One of the pleasures of 2014 has been a voyage of discovery through his back catalogue, aided by some well-crafted vinyl reissues from the estimable Paradise of Bachelors label.
Anyway, Cantos de Lisboa is a treat - but one that needs some mastication, and is all the better for that. You're initially sucked in by the sheer beauty of lambent opener 'Saudade Do Santos-o-Vehlo' but then encounter some crunchier improvisations. Two splendid guitarists with open ears and a clear enjoyment of each other's company.
6. Various Artists - Look Again To The Wind
An odd project on the face of it: a cover version of an early sixties album from Johnny Cash, Bitter Tears, dedicated to the varied injustices that have been visited on American Indians. I don't know the original album and wouldn't claim to like every song here equally, but the highlights of this re-creation are quite extraordinary. Producer Joe Henry has assembled a stellar cast of new country royalty: Steve Earle, Emmylou, Kris Kristofferson, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are all present and all acquit themselves well. It's the last two who are transcendent. A protest ballad stretching to more than nine minutes could get a teensy bit tedious, one might think, but 'As Long As The Grass Shall Grow' leaves you wanting more. Their voices and instruments twine around each other so perfectly they're like a single entity, and Rawlings' final guitar solo is worth the price of admission on its own. I haven't seen much written about this album, but more should be... do search it out.
5. Robert Plant - Lullaby & The Ceaseless Roar
It's great how Plant remains driven to make new and different music, searching out fresh combinations of very talented collaborators. At a time when he could be sitting back and savouring the royalty cheques from the Led Zeppelin reissue programme, he's moved further on from the fine Americana of his last couple of albums to an edgier, energetic and thoroughly engaging set shot through with African instrumentation and electronics. You're bound to sit up and take notice - and the more you pay attention, the more you appreciate the care and skill that has gone into the arrangements. It's both classy and wildly entertaining: don't miss it.
4. The Hold Steady - Teeth Dreams
I raved about this one here on its release in April. My then favourite song of the year, 'Almost Everything', now has some serious Wussy-shaped competition (see below) but still sounds great, as does the rest of the record. And the band went on to turn in my favourite live show of the year at The Great Escape in May. They're on tremendous form and this is a very good record.
3. Braden Gates - Ferris Wheel
This star
fiddler/ singer/ songwriter/ guitarist from Alberta was my find of 2013 - nabbing the top slot in my gigs of the year and the same number 3 slot in the albums that he's occupying now. Ferris Wheel is a distinct advance on his first release, with more variety and confidence in the writing, performance and arrangements. I wrote about it at length here. There's obviously a lot more to come from this highly talented young man: you should get aboard now and follow what should be a fascinating career.
2. Hiss Golden Messenger - Lateness Of Dancers
Possibly the best HGM release so far - despite there being some pretty stiff competition. This sounds more like a band record, rather than mainman MC Taylor plus friends: cohesive, varied and sometimes downright funky. But be reassured that this not come at the expense of HGM's trademark emotional heft. 'Chapter & Verse (Ione's Song)' is a particular tear-jerker, even after multiple listens. As so often, it's not entirely clear what's going on in narrative terms, but the vocal combination of sympathy and reassurance and pain set against a simple piano's willed optimism comes across like proceedings at a frontier smalltown funeral. Beautiful - and the other nine songs are pretty damn good too.
1. Wussy - Attica!
Well, regular readers will not be surprised by the number one slot. My favourite band in the world right now and I've already provided a detailed rave review of what is also probably their most consistently strong album so far. A rare combination of crunch and delicacy, with a melodic sense reminiscent of REM at their best. 'Halloween', 'Beautiful' and 'Teenage Wasteland' are all strong contenders for the best song I've heard this year. The band seem to be on a real roll and it would be good if they could now reach the wider audience they so obviously deserve.
The near misses, jostling at the gate of my top ten, include Beck's Morning Phase and Two Wings' A Wake. Bruce Springsteen's High Hopes and Del Barber's Prairieography both included some strong individual songs but didn't really hold together as albums for me. Neil Young's A Letter Home strikes me as a really impressive work of art, like a time capsule launched to and/or from somewhere beyond the grave, but I haven't been listening to it with any regularity as a collection of songs. I haven't been listening to Neil's Storytone much either, but that's more because the songs don't seem very inspired - whether in their stripped-down or kitchen-sink-arrangement versions. Maybe it will grow on me...
And let's see what 2015 brings. A very Happy Christmas to anyone who has read this far!]]>
5. John Surman - Dome Studio, Brighton, 18 November
A treat to see a long-time hero for the first time. Wonderful horn playing and some nice duets with guest Norwegian singer Karin Krog in the second half. Soprano and baritone saxes and bass clarinet, sometimes alone, sometimes set against loops: mellow and satisfying.
4. Neil Young - Hyde Park, London, 12 July
A storming set, often crowd-pleasing ('Heart of Gold', 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart', etc), but only after he'd stretched the patience of less partisan festival-goers with some protracted guitar work-outs ('Love And Only Love', 'Goin' Home') and rewarded the cognoscenti with the rarely-performed 'Days That Used To Be'. A shame that after playing this well he then turned in a decidedly mediocre album in the shape of Storytone.
3. Jackson Browne - Royal Albert Hall, London, 25 November
I've seen Jackson half a dozen or more times over the years and he never disappoints. My favourite of those shows was probably one in Edinburgh with the collaborator who fits his style best - the great David Lindley. But this was a close runner-up: Greg Leisz's pedal steel filled some Lindley-shaped holes and the rest of the band were on fine form. Some stone classics performed unimpeachably in the course of a marathon 25 song set: 'These Days', 'Before The Deluge', 'Late For The Sky', 'For A Dancer', etc, etc. OK, the ones from the new album weren't quite in that league, but I was in no mood to quibble...
2. Powder Blue - The Great Escape, Brighton, 10 May
Reviewed here. One of those sweet festival moments when a band you've never heard of and have no expectations about grabs hold of your ears and makes you pay attention... Saskatoon's finest, playing Krautrock, shoegaze and a whole lot more. I gather there is a full length album due next year, which I'm looking forward to - I've been listening to Dream In Black a lot.
1. The Hold Steady - Great Escape, Brighton, 9 May
Also reviewed here. Another occasion where I was pleased to see live a band whose albums I've rated for some time. They took the gig by the scruff of its neck and never let go: a tight, explosive and thoroughly entertaining three quarters of an hour.
Braden Gates' new album is certainly worth talking about, plus the talented young man was kind enough to send a CD to me.
Otherwise, I haven't heard or seen anything new or transformational since I lasted posted here. In the absence of new discoveries, I can recommend some strong and enjoyable records from folk I already knew had it in them - such as Hiss Golden Messenger's Lateness of Dancers, Steve Gunn's Way Out Weather and Robert Plant's Lullaby & The Ceaseless Roar.
In that category,Thurston Moore's The Best Day deserves special mention for housing some strong and varied music in a lovely sleeve.
There have been some excellent archive releases too, notably Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's 1974 boxset and Paradise of Bachelors' repressings of early 70s Mike Cooper albums. And, of course, 6 CDs' worth of the Complete Basement Tapes will land with a substantial thud on Dylan fans' doormats tomorrow...
Not much on the gig front to report: Neil Young excellent for tens of thousands in Hyde Park, Harry Manx similar for tens in a Brighton pub. James Taylor doing his thing with commitment and grace, for those whose boats he floats...
Onward and upward.]]>
Then I was reflecting on how rooted in place much of Braden's writing is - you can often see and hear, and occasionally smell, his stomping ground in Old Strathcona, Edmonton's art-and-nightlife-and-lowlife quarter. (All the best towns have one of those - check out The Hold Steady's 'The Sweet Part Of The City' if you need further directions.) I was looking at the picture of the Commercial Hotel on the CD and visualising the panhandler Gates was bringing to life in a song:
Old man Jason Lee
On the corner of Whyte and 103
Says 'Hey Braden, you got a buck
And an extra smoke for me?'
and I was definitely revisiting Whyte Avenue, Old Strathcona's main drag. So then I pulled out Dylan's Highway 61 and, yes, there's definitely some shared lineage in that stare and the set of their jaws.
Gates has enough talent and potential to make these sorts of comparisons more than fanciful. He's made real progress since his first release, the engaging Break It To Me Gently. While that was essentially a solo recording, the new one, Ferris Wheel, adds friends on bass, piano and harmonica, as well as backing vocals. Importantly, Braden has also overdubbed fiddle on some tracks. Live, his songs are either guitar or (less frequently) fiddle based and it's great to be able to hear the two together. He's a very accomplished picker but, for me, his fiddle playing is in another class, with an attack and verve that raises a song's energy level as soon as his bow bounces on the strings. There are a couple of essentially live fiddle songs on the new record, 'Bound To Win' and the title track, with Braden keeping a stompboard rhythm under pizzicato verses and bowed breaks - very much in the manner of the wonderful 'Gator's Gym Girl' on the first album. They work well, but there is only so much you can do with that format. So it is nice to have the variation of a violin twining around other instruments on songs like 'Holding On' and 'Ocean Blue'.
I'd heard 'Life's A Picture' live last year, introduced with a wry account of the meeting with the drifter who inspired it. Gates risks putting that spoken story to music and I am happy to say that 'The Story Of Chicago Bob' comes off well and stands up to repeated listening.
But for me, the stand-out song of this strong set is the final one, 'Song For Casper'. Inspired by a friend being arrested for public intoxication, it starts from a description of the party life they are leading but is somehow undercut simultaneously with melancholy, wistfulness and hope. The repeated hookline
now is the time to be free
is strangely moving, combining an appreciation of the transient here-and-now with a yearning for something else. On the record, the arrangement is particularly fine, with Ken Stead's piano adding strongly to the emotional heft in combination with Braden's fiddle.
Some nights you'll end up wasted
Some nights you'll end up bruised
Some nights you'll end up lonely
Just howling at the moon.
It works pretty well as a solo performance too, as you can see here:
All in all, a strong recommendation for Braden Gates and for Ferris Wheel. You can download or order CDs from Braden's Bandcamp page.]]>
I've said most of the things I wanted to say when I started and there's clearly no shortage of music criticism available elsewhere. So I'll shut up for a bit.
Many thanks to everyone who has visited, read and commented so far - it has been fun.
Au revoir.]]>
I find I don't make enough time regularly to listen to the really great records. And this one definitely is great. Strong songs, spot-on arrangements and sympathetic playing, and Lucinda in consistently wonderful voice.
I could single out virtually any of the songs on it, but take a listen to the spare lyricism and lazy erotic charge of the opener, 'Right In Time'.
Well done to Music On Vinyl for a clear and solid pressing: every home should have one.]]>
My top five of this year's releases so far are:
All splendid and well worth listening to, but I'd have trouble coming with another five at this point. I think Neil Young's A Letter Home will be up there with them, but I haven't yet got my hands on a vinyl copy.
So far as gigs have gone, The Hold Steady are on top, with Powder Blue and Michael Chapman in joint second...but, again I just haven't been to as many as I would usually have at the 6 month point.
Buck up, 2014.]]>

FELLAGIO - ggod for women?
Posted May 24 - 02:09 PM

(AP) -- Women who perform the act of fellatio and swallow semen on a regular basis, one to two times a week, may reduce their risk of breast cancer by up to 40 percent, a North Carolina State University study found.
Doctors had never suspected a link between the act of fellatio and breast cancer, but new research being performed at North Carolina State University is starting to suggest that there could be an important link between the two.
In a study of over 15,000 women suspected of having performed regular fellatio and swallowed the ejaculatory fluid, over the past ten years, the researchers found that those actually having performed the act regularly, one to two times a week, had a lower occurance of breast cancer than those who had not. There was no increased risk, however, for those who did not regularly perform.
"I think it removes the last shade of doubt that fellatio is actually a healthy act," said Dr. A.J. Kramer of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, who was not involved in the research. "I am surprised by these findings, but am also excited that the researchers may have discovered a relatively easy way to lower the occurance of breast cancer in women."
The University researchers stressed that, though breast cancer is relatively uncommon, any steps taken to reduce the risk would be a wise decision.
"Only with regular occurance will your chances be reduced, so I encourage all women out there to make fellatio an important part of their daily routine," said Dr. Helena Shifteer, one of the researchers at the University. "Since the emergence of the research, I try to fellate at least once every other night to reduce my chances."
The study is reported in Friday's Journal of Medical Research.
In 1991, 43,582 women died of breast cancer, as reported by the National Cancer Institute.
Dr. Len Lictepeen, deputy chief medical officer for the American Cancer Society, said women should not overlook or "play down" these findings.
"This will hopefully change women's practice and patterns, resulting in a severe drop in the future number of cases," Lictepeen said.
Sooner said the research shows no increase in the risk of breast cancer in those who are, for whatever reason, not able to fellate regularly.
"There's definitely fertile ground for more research. Many have stepped forward to volunteer for related research now in the planning stages," he said.
Almost every woman is, at some point, going to perform the act of fellatio, but it is the frequency at which this event occurs that makes the difference, say researchers. Also key seems to be the protein and enzyme count in the semen, but researchers are again waiting for more test data.
The reasearch consisted of two groups, 6,246 women ages 25 to 45 who had performed fellatio and swallowed on a regular basis over the past five to ten years, and 9,728 women who had not or did not swallow. The group of women who had performed and swallowed had a breast cancer rate of 1.9 percent and the group who had not had a breast cancer rate of 10.4 percent.
"The findings do suggest that there are other causes for breast cancer besides the absence of regular fellatio," Shafteer said. "It's a cause, not THE cause."

Great pattern with a wide range of sizes. Easy to follow instructions
Posted by Kathryn on 21st May 2015
I made these pajamas for my 2 year old daughter and they were perfect in size. The instructions were easy to follow and the end result was professional looking.
Posted by Ann on 15th May 2015
Loved the simple instructions and how quickly the top and bottom came together. Looking forward to buying more patterns from PAB!
Posted by Jodeen on 4th Apr 2015
This patter was super easy to print and sew. Finding a pattern for pants made with a knit fabric wasn't easy, but this one totally nailed it!! They fit perfect, look great, and are now my sons favourite pants for bed. I have been told that I really should make more!
Posted by Unknown on 9th Dec 2014
I love this pattern easy to put together and I love the size range!
Posted by Katie L. on 6th Dec 2014
I love how easy this pattern is especially for starting out with knits. I was able to produce a very professional looking pj set all thanks to Amy's great tutorial. You have to give this a try!
Posted by Connie H. on 25th Nov 2014
Love this pattern. This is so easy to follow! This is one of the first knit patterns I have tried and I was so happy with the result.
Posted by Van Nguyen on 23rd Nov 2014
I've made both boys these pjs and I LOVE how they look on my guys. I have to adjust the waist because they have little tiny waists but it is such an easy pattern! I also used the bottoms for their Halloween costumes and they were great.
Posted by tiffany on 15th Nov 2014
I have made three pairs of these pjs since I got the pattern an they were super easy directions an it only took me 1 hour per pair when i got down how to put them all together. Love Peek a boo patterns
Posted by Beth Zachau on 4th Nov 2014
I came back to see if you added any more fun new patterns and discovered that you updated the knit pjs to a size 12, I am so excited about the update and downloaded the patterns again! I love these patterns, they are so easy and quick! Thanks!
Posted by Terri on 4th Nov 2014
Great, quick sew with professional results. I highly recommend this pattern.
Posted by Susan Komusin on 24th Oct 2014
As stated in the pattern, it does run a bit small so I upsized. How wonderful that I am now making seasonal and holiday p.j.`s for the new grandbaby. This pattern is a keeper.
Posted by Melissa on 23rd Oct 2014
This was the easiest pattern I have ever used! The pajamas are adorable and comfortable. I love the size ranges as well.
Posted by LeTicia on 19th Oct 2014
The Winter PJs are very quick and easy. I am new to knits and they were perfect to get started with. Great pattern!
Posted by Judy on 13th Oct 2014
My mistake was to cut a size 6 instead of a size 7. I noticed when I went to find the elastic measurement that the pattern only went to size 8. I had cut a size 6 instead. Luckily that I was only doing bottoms so I had enough fabric to do a size 7. Not sure what size will work for him since we live in different states. But he now has a choice of 6 or 7. The waist band since I am a newbie knit sewer was not as straight as I would have liked. It was a fast sew.
Posted by Alicia on 12th Oct 2014
I love this pattern! I have always avoided knit type fabric but this pattern makes me feel like I can do anything with them. Super easy instructions to follow and a great end result will have me coming back to this pattern as a wardrobe staple for my boys over and over again. Thank you!
Posted by Amy on 8th Oct 2014
Loved this pattern - very easy and great directions. Took me about 3 hours from start to finish. They fit great and look great. I used a sewing machine with a double overlock stitch and a stretch stitch - althought I wish I had a serger for these knit items! One thing on the pattern that could be improved is when you are cutting out the pieces for the cuffs and collar, it doesn't tell you which way to cut so you have the stretch in the correct direction. Of course, I did that wrong and had to recut.
Posted by Amy Headlee on 5th Jun 2014
This is a great pattern! I made these four different times and the fit was great for each size. These are a quick sew and the end result looks so professional!
Posted by adaynasmile on 29th May 2014
I bought this pattern to make the pants as leggings for my son this winter. The pattern is so easy to follow. So cute when finished and fit perfectly. He looks so adorable in them. I just love it! Can't wait to make more next winter.
Posted by Colleen on 22nd May 2014
I have made 4 pairs and they have gone together very quickly. Fit well. a good basic pattern.

Miguel Cabrera is hurting. His bat, however, is feeling real good. The Detroit Tigers slugger is gutting it out at third base on a right ankle sprain that is supposed to be getting better but appears to be healing in tiny increments. "I might have to get him off it," manager Jim Leyland said, referring to making Cabrera his designated hitter, not taking him out of the lineup altogether. "I'll see. I have to think about it." The problem there is that Leyland has to pull a good hitter and replace him with an inferior one -- and put in a third baseman who doesn't offer Detroit what Cabrera does. And Saturday night he's introducing a rookie, Avisail Garcia, into the lineup in right field. "It's not feeling the way I want it to feel right now," Cabrera said, standing near the entrance to the showers and occasionally lifting his right foot off the ground a little to ease some pain. Cabrera took a bit of criticism Thursday for slowing down about a third of the way to first base...

Did the Enterprise's phasers in STID curve also? Or was it only the Vengeance phasers did the curving?
Enterprise' weapons didn't fire AT ALL in this movie, so it's a non-issue.
OTOH, re-watching ST09 I see that Narada's torpedoes fly in relatively straight trajectories throughout the film and only seem to change directions the instant they are launched. If FX conventions are considered consistent within a particular movie, you could at least see that the straight-line behavior of Enterprise's "phasers" in the first movie is equally consistent with missiles.
Interestingly, the script for ST09 also identifies the Jellyfish's weapons as "torpedoes."

Both ships were at warp speed when the Vengeance fired at the Enterprise, could explain the strange trajectory of the 'phaser' pulses.
I thought so too, at first, but the same effect is in evidence -- and somewhat more pronounced -- when the attack resumes under Khan's command.

The Ionian Islands region
Among the 3000 inhabited islands of Greece, there is a small group of seven, known as the Eptanissa or Ionian Islands, located just off the western mainland seaboard.
Captivating landscapes of rugged mountains, green hills and the ever present turquoise warm shallow waters of the Ionian sea best sum up the Ionian Islands.
Over the centuries these islands have developed their own culture and identity, partly through their periodic occupation by foreign powers such as the Venetians, the Turks and the British.
Each Island is unique unto itself, varying not only from the rest of Greece but from it's neighbours.

Agios Georgios South
The 'Emerald Island' of Corfu, known to the Greeks as Kerkyra, homes well watered and beautiful lush green hillsides where you will find an array of colourful flowers and vast stretches of olive groves and vinyards.
Sunny days, cool night breezes, friendly locals and fascinating history are just some of the memories that you will take home with you.
Steeped in history both the Venetians and the British have occupied Corfu and you will still find much evidence of their architecture and rule here today. The cricket pitch in Corfu town is just one of the many interesting and quirky features.
Corfu caters for everyone from golf, water sports, water parks, scuba diving, horse riding or simply for those who just want to relax on the beautiful and many beaches Corfu has to offer.
Corfu Town was built between two fortresses during the Venetian rule and is one of the most beautiful, most impressive and interesting cities in Greece. The population of Corfu Town is about 30,000, and is quite cosmopolitan compared to other islands in Greece. It is an amazing mixture of old tavernas, new cafes, bars and clubs plus the beautiful old city protected by the two fortresses.
The town's architecture offers elegant buildings, mansions, palaces and monuments in narrow paved streets with stone steps, French designed squares full of trees and flowers, impressive Venetian castles and even Byzantine churches. The narrow streets house small shops and boutiques of every kind. Among the bustle look out for those shops and stalls selling local items like wild honey, fig cakes and handmade lace. Be tempted by the Corfiot craftsman who excel at designing and making jewellery in gold and silver.
Corfu Town has a unique beauty, charm, character and atmosphere that will bring you back time and time again. A visit and a coffee in one of their beautifully situated coffee shops to watch the world go by is a must.
St George / Agios Georgios
Situated on the south west coast of the island, St George known as the 'sun set bay' is approximately 35kms from Corfu Town.
Accessible by only one road that winds through dense olive groves, St George was once just a tiny fishing community.
Today it still retains much of it's charm and also boasts three wonderful sandy beaches, St George beach, Issos beach and Halikouna beach. Halikouna, the longest of the three is pure sand stretching for over a mile and attracts tourists and locals from all over Corfu.
Stretching out a little further across the sand dunes and desert like features is Lake Korission, covering an expanse of 1500 acres. The lake or lagoon here is a nature reserve and home to many rare bird species - ideal for walking and being close to nature as well as being a turtle-nesting area. This is truly a magical spot where sea and sand harmonise.
As the day draws to a close and the beaches begin to empty, St George becomes a paradise for those who enjoy tranquillity and the chance to relax in peaceful surroundings. Join the locals in the tavernas, sample the local wine and delicious cuisine whilst watching the sunset on the horizon. Simply divine!
Locals and most maps of the Island will refer to the resort of St George as Agios Georgios which is the Greek translation. There is also a resort to the North of the Island called Agios Georgios so watch out when map reading or asking for directions and remember that you are staying in St George South.

"A beautiful villa for two"
Both myself and my partner wished we had booked for longer and did not want to leave. Corfu is so pretty and having the car enabled us to really find some great hidden treasures off of the beaten track. The resort of St George was perfect for our much needed quiet break and the beach is so lovely and sandy although the water was a little cold so early in the season! some really lovely fish tavernas where the fish is caught only a few hours before its cooked! Jasmine cottage was the highlight. When we arrived we couldn't believe our luck at how lovely it was. It's decorated perfectly for a beach villa and so comfy with everything you need and more! The garden seating was a twice daily ritual for coffee/wine time :) Already booking dates for 2014 with Alex. Kim & Ritch x

"Great Cottage, Great Location, Great Resort"
Jasmine Cottage would be perfect for a couple or a couple with a young child. It is very well equipped with everything from iPod dock, microwave, fridge and cooker (not that we used the cooker!). It is far enough from the main resort (4-5 minute walk at the most) to be nice a quiet, but close enough to not need a car if you don't want one. Jasmine Cottage has a lovely garden area overlooking the natural fields. It is only a 2 minute walk to the pool which you can use for free - all they ask is that you buy your drinks from their bar. The beach is a short 10 minute walk, and you can find a quiet spot if you avoid the section used by the large all-inclusive resort. St Georges South itself is very friendly and the we particularly liked that most of the restaurants sit on the beach front, meaning most days ended with a drink watching the sunset - lovely. Our advice would be to get talking to and get to know the restaurant and bar owners as they are full of good tips on what to do during your stay. A boat trip to Paxos and Antipaxos is also well worth the money.

"pure bliss"
I completely enjoyed my stay at Jasmine Cottage. It was very girly and I felt completely safe on my own. Angela and Peter who look after the cottage were lovely and very helpful. I was looking for a quiet holiday and they advised me where the quieter beaches were and such lovely restuarants. Stock Travel were very helpful to point me in the direction of scuba diving and how to get to the diving club. I had such a lovely holiday and I would recommend this cottage if you are looking for a quiet get away.

"Hidden Treasure"
Jasmine Cottage was a real treat. The cottage is wonderfully fitted and equipped and well looked after. The terrace and garden offered us lovely quiet evenings with a glass of wine and lazy mornings with coffee and a book before taking the stroll to the gorgeous beaches on offer – and the beaches are beautiful. The village/town of St. George has all you'd need for a quiet holiday and is laid-back and peaceful. We didn't bother visiting any other part of the island which is a testament, I think, to the wonderful cottage that is Jasmine Cottage. Wonderful holiday and the cottage is highly recommended to those seeking an escape from the trappings of a 'normal' busy summer/beach holiday.

"Everything you would need"
Our experience at jasmine cottage was fantastic.There was three of us. My husband and I and our 4 year old daughter. Alex the owner thought of everything you could possibly need on your holiday right down to arranging you a taxi transfer if required. The cottage was spacious and exceptionally clean. Set in a peaceful location but not too far away from the village. Plenty to keep you occupied in the cottage if you are unfortunate to have a bad day, DVDs radio,cards,jenga . Even dressing gowns to keep you warm. There is a swimming pool close by and two little supermarkets that have just about everything you need. There is an excellent bar just down the road called mad mikes. They do fantastic breakfast and are very welcoming. Good fun at night time too . We will definitely be going back to jasmine cottage next year and highly recommend it.

"Pure Bliss."
On arrival at Jasmine Cottage me and my sister couldnt be more delighted, it is set in beautiful tranquil surroundings with a beautiful patio area overlooking a huge lemon tree and open fields. The inside of Jasmine cottage is just as impressive, clean, bright, modern and spacious with everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday.....including washing machine, hairdryer,iron and info about the island. Overall we had a fantastic time and have already re-booked for next year. Highly recommended.

"Peaceful, rural location yet close to beach, shops & tavernas"
Jasmine Cottage is situated amongst Greek family homes, overlooking open meadowland and olive trees, and with easy access to the south of the island. There is a small supermarket within 2 mins walk which is ideal for those who self cater - as we did for some of the 11 days we were there. The small town of Agios Georgios South has plenty of tavernas catering to all tastes; we specifically enjoyed the fish tavernas and Makis taverna which were superb value for money, service excellent and the food was fresh. The cottage was light, fresh, well equipped and comfortable for 2 sharing; would have been ok for an additional child, but with only a curtain separating the kitchen/living area from the bedroom would not give privacy if the 3rd person was a friend (unless you know them intimately!). The terrace and garden was wonderful and we spent a couple of days just relaxing and unwinding, reading in the sun and shade. We watered the garden to save the couple who provide maintenance for the property coming out each day - and we enjoyed this home from home. The best beach for us was at the far south east end where there were rocks for snorkelling and where for the most part we had the beach to ourselves (no good for those who want umbrellas, beach chairs etc. but for isolation and peace - perfect). The lake and that end of the beach was great for walks and wildlife. The village of Agios Matthaios is worth a visit as it is a Corfiot working village - we had coffee in the main street on several occasions, meeting up with local people for a stilted conversation about politics, health, sport etc. and made friends with a retired man who we now keep in touch with on Facebook. Best thing: being with Greek people who live there permanently, cleanliness & contemporary interior of the cottage and proximity to beaches, supermarket, harbour and working Corfiot villages. Worst thing: sadness at the political state of Greece and how it is affecting local businesses; difficulty sleeping if you have very noisy neighbours who play loud music (we only had this one night, and to be fair, we like to retire earlyish 10.30pm and get up early, so are not typical holidaymakers). We would love to return to this cottage and area in future and would recommend it - you need a car, and need to get out and experience the mountains, local villages, beaches etc, and visit Corfu town. We have been going to Greece (islands and mainland) for 35 yrs and love being with the local people - this cottage met all our requirements.

I followed the time/temp parameters to the letter, but it tastes bitter and oversteeped :-(
I guess I'll put it in the fridge and see if chilling will save this cuppa…
aww sorry it's all bitter :(
