Well, Skirt Month was fun, wasn't it? I don't know about you, but I still have a stack of items that are cut but not sewn. Skirt Month was a wee bit short for me 😉 Well, we'll keep the Flickr group open, so share your skirts anytime.
We met with our reps last week and you won't believe the bundle of goodies we have on the way! (Just imagine if your fabric addiction had you buying bolts instead of fat quarters.) We ordered some Amy Butler Nigella, lots of Alexander Henry and Robert Kaufman, Kaffe Fasset's new line, and two gorgeous new collections from Westminster's newest designer, Joel Dewberry. We are making some room, so we marked down a ton of stuff. Check out the sale catgory in the store.
This week we'll pick 5 people who get to choose 1 yard of any cotton fabric in the store. Tell us about your Summer sewing plans. What are you making?
(Taking comments until Monday morning.)

I really need to get organized so that I can have some summer sewing plans! I'd love a place, other than the kitchen table, to do my sewing and crafting. Whether or not that happens, I'm hoping to make a couple skirts and get a jump on Halloween costumes and Christmas gifts. (A girl's gotta dream!)
It is the summer of the baby project for me – bibs, diapers, bumper, burp cloths, diaper bags.
I have plans for skirts! Yes, I know May was Skirt month but I guess I'm a bit behind… I made one of the Cute Skirts and I'm now looking for a good A-line pattern…
My sewing plans for this summer are to make items to sell at our annual charity fund raiser bazaar in December. Your website has provided me with patterns, fabric and inspiration to make retro aprons, fabric purses and crayon rolls. I love fabric and I love your site!
I have plans for aprons, and I have a tea cozy cut out and ready to sew. I'd also like to make a few totes.
First on the list is some tablecloths that I've been meaning to finish for a while. Also maybe some doll clothes for my cousin's daughter. That's about it for plans, but I'm sure it's not all I'll end up making.
Oh man, I just plan on finishing some of the many projects I've started! Although, it would be nice to sew a dress or two.
I am SOO loving your blog! I love coming here and seeing all these great fabrics and seeing everyone's great projects.
This summer I'm hoping to venture out in my sewing abilities. Right now I'm working on two writing pad's to give to my nieces.
Next I'd like to venture into maybe trying to make some easy tops for my girls and maybe even some great wrap skirts for the beach.
I just started a new blogger blog just so I can post more about my sewing projects.
Hope to win, but it's fun just coming by and being inspired to do more sewing.
Working on finishing up unfinished projects plus making some twirly skirts, pillows for my breakfast nook banquette, some aprons for my friends, and curtains for my bathroom. Ha — those are all the projects I intend to do, but I'm sure I'll be inspired by so many more than just this from future posts on your blog!
Wow! So many great ideas! FUN! I'm sewing with kids this summer, so we have TONS of fun projects planned. I can't wait.
I'm making Iz some dresses (my 2 yo just picked out a bunch of fabric!) and I want to make myself a pair of jeans. I'm so tired of those low rise choices! I'm sure there will be more projects, the list is endless. I'm making a tie for dad for Father's Day, and a few bags to donate for an auction, and I'd like to make myself a few more skirts and a handful of t-shirts to hang out in! (wish I could make shoes too!)
Wow! So many people have great ideas for summer projects. I, as usual, have more projects running around in my head than will probably find themselves under the presser foot of my sewing machine, but here goes: 2 quilt tops, 1 or 2 skirts from the Sew What? Skirts! book, finish a top I started before I moved houses, book totes for some young friends, and possibly some chair cushion covers. Also need to finish some belated birthday aprons, and a heating pad cover a la Denyse Schmidt. Like I said, reality and ambition do not often intersect. 🙂
What a great blog!! I was so inspired by all the great skirts I'm going to try to make one for me. And I can't forget my daughter I will be making her some dresses with the great fabric I just received from you. Also a beach bag. I better get started before summer is done.
I would like to make a skirt for my little sister who is turning 10 shortly; make myself a summery bag with a thrifted bedcover (so it would match the A-line skirt I have already sewed) and make a"lapquilt" with some lovely thrifted fabric I found the other day….oh yes and I need to make a baby quilt for one of my cousins who is having her baby girl in July. Gosh I didn't realize I had so many projects lined up! And those are only the ones I know from the top of my head. Well, here's to a crafty summer:)
well, i totally botched my plans to sew a couple of skirts this may, but i'd still like to make the two i planned to. hopefully before september rools in… i also need a new tote, a small purse and… toys for the "plush you" show i got into (hooray! very exciting).
I'm going to attempt slipcovers for my patio chairs!
Since I'm off work all summer, I'm making my three year old entire wardrobe. No exceptions! (well underwear!) I've got a few dresses finished, but lots of shorts, skirts and tops to go. I'm also hoping to get my next year's work wear made too.
I'm on a doll quilt kick. I'll make a couple Wee Wonderful softies. For the kids – another pair of flannel pjs for my son (3 yrs) and would love to start making simple dresses for my daughter (1 yr). And I should probably finish a pair of capris for myself that I cut out a couple summers ago!
Well, I already spent May creating my summer wardrobe of skirts, drresses, and flowy tops, so….I will conquer making pants, as well as finally making myself a quilt (after making many others for people), and I have a new obsession with sewing hats, so who knows where that will go!
I spent this last month falling in love with skirts and have many more planned for this summer. I'd also like to finish a quilt top I started a few years back. And lots and lots of tote bags.
I think I'm going to try to get a head start on the back to school wardrobes.
I just got some vintage mod dress patterns that I can't wait to start sewing!
My summer sewing projects include a crib-sized Denyse Schmidt Hop Skip Jump quilt (lilacs & cream), some simple placemats for my mom's new kitchen, and (inspired by skirt month) maybe a Barcelona skirt…if I can adapt the pattern to avoid zipper?! (That's a bit much for me just yet!) Happy sewing y'all.
being big-headed, one-size-fits-all summer hats are always too small. I finally got around to buy a pattern, so I'll be making lots of hats in funky patterns – need more fabric!
On the kiddo front, i'm making some smocks for my baby girl and some summer shorts for my boy. But but but mostly i'm waiting very impatiently for Amy Butler's Nigella collection to arrive so I can makeover our lounge room.
there will be dresses. maaaaaany dresses.
most of them from "mrs. stylebook". i'm pretty busy drafting these days.
I must, must, must, finish quilting a quilt that I started 3 years ago. Almost there. And in 3 weeks when I see my sister we're making the Amy Butler Weekender Bag. I'm super excited about that one!
I'm going to be making some clothes for me and my baby from Japanese craft books.
since i was`only a`spectator during skirt month … i'm feeling inspired to get in the game and make some for Me. Also a top, swing jacket or two.
I have 2 skirts cut out, ready to sew. Thanks for the inspiration.
A new duvet cover and some cushions for the outdoor furniture are must-dos, but seeing all these gorgeous skirts makes me want to add skirts to the top of the list.
Much more fun to sew a skirt!
Summer sewing plans … make a few purses, some throw pillows for our family room, quilts for my girls, and maybe something with that awesome bird fabric you just blogged about.
Zip pouches, chair cushions for my kitchen chairs, maybe a tiered skirt for one of my daughters. So many projects, so little time!!!
wow…this is so great. my summer plans include a smock/apron for daily wear, little girl dresses, built by wendy shirt, and monthly projects from http://www.projectofthemonth.blogspot.com this months theme is the embellished tee shirt. oh, and i'm taking my first ever quilt class! so excited!
More skirts definitely. Two are already cut out and I've just cut out another little tote bag for myself. My big sewing plans for the summer are to make myself a dress without a pattern.
I've too much to do (as always!) quilts, bags, and skirts for my girl. Love sewing with the window open and the kids playing in the sprinkler 🙂 ! (Now to check out the sale!)
Lots of things: patchwork runner for table, pajama shorts for boys, the double-sided wrap skirt in the tutorial, the amy butler hat and frenchy bag, and a new tote for fall.
Skirts, skirts and more skirts! With maybe a few wrap dresses and aprons to mix it up. I have so many in my mind, now if I could only find the time to make them a reality.
It's winter here in New Zealand – so my winter sewing plans include a quilt for my new baby (who arrives in a week!) and an Amy Butler weekender travel bag for my Mum for Christmas. And that might be enough…for a while!
I want to try making my young daughter a really cute and simple dress.
Oh yay! Summer sewing!
This summer I've vowed to make 6000 purses…well, not 6000 but tons! I'm gonna devote every other weekend to coming up with a new fresh pattern, I swear…
And aprons! Lots of aprons! And I WILL get a better grasp of pattern drafting so they'll all be guaranteed rad adorable…
The Dewberry line looks AMAZING! Summer plans? Girls dresses, skirts and matching shirts, little boy rompers, pajama pants…I just finished kids dishtowel aprons and tons of minky blankets/burps. I also have some dishtowel totes in the works. Think there's going to be enought days in summer? 😉
loving the sound of the new fabric. Can't wait to see it in shop.
This summer I plan on finishing some sun dresses for my daughter. Making many gifts for friends with babies on the way. I also plan on making myself a skirt or two and a hat. I'm sure I'll find a ton more things to make before it is over.
I am planning on trying out some more skirts from Sew What Skirts. I've made the 1/2 circle wrap already. I plan on finishing a quilt I started ages ago. And I just started to crochet so I am hoping to find a cute something to make crocheting. Not sure what though.
Twirly Skirt my daughter who insists on using puppy dog fabric with turquoise bands.
We're going to learn how to make a mini quilt.
Patchwork bags with fabric and crochet.
I'm finally going to make myself a skirt.
So far, lots of dresses and skirts–for my daughter and myself—and after that I don;t know. I would like to do some fun things like totebags or quilts.
handbags,summer pool totes,summer outfits for my daughter and of course more skirts!!!!! also whatever craft bug grabs me at that momment!!!
this summer I have so much to do – a christening dress for a new niece, a lunch bag for my hubby, probably some more skirts, and oh yeah – stuff for my etsy shop. I'm sure I won't be able to keep up and the summer will fly by.
I want to try the "t-shirt pants" for my toddler – they look so simple and comfortable! It's also high time that I make my nearly two year old daughter her own quilt, and I'd like to try some stuffed toys, and at least one skirt, and some little girl dresses, and my laundry room could use some new curtains, and the wall above my fireplace has been asking for a wall hanging for six months now, and I definitely want to try a tote bag or two…Do you think summer could be extended this year?
Aw, you're killin' me – I can't wait to see the Joel Dewberry fabric! Must make room….
Well, if it's summer, it must be time to start thinking about Christmas! Got a few aprons cut and ready to go, and 2 quilt tops that need their backs and middles. And stacks of home dec projects! This summer's gonna be a fun one!
(By the way, skirt month was lots of fun. Thanks for the extra encouragement it provided!)
I'll be making aprons, more wrap skirts and some shirts to go with my new skirts.
This summer I want to make an I Spy quilt for my granddaughter.
I have a stack of sewing projects lined up. Barcelona skirts+apron, a couple from the Sew What Skirts book, clothes for my daughter (including a kimono), purses galore, plus placemats, napkins and coasters for my dining room after I finish reupholstering the chairs. Oh my! That's a lot of sewing!
Ohhhh, hire me as a buyer! lol Seems like a fun thing to do…
I really did start a skirt…then got really, really sick. lol So I'll post as soon as it's done (b/c the pattern is incredibly wonky and I'm fixing it to the best of my ability). That said, I finished a dress. 😉
As far as summer, we're planning a big, fat, super-fun road trip in the fall, so I want to make some more sundresses, tops, and skirts. There are two sundress patterns in particular I'd love to get to. I also want to make a nice tote for my best friend's birthday – she ballroom dances and can NEVER have enough totes. If I can, I'd like to make a shirt or two for my hubby that I can embroider fun, retro things on for our trip, too. His mom also sewed, and is my number one source of help since she gave me a sewing machine as a wedding shower gift; he's a little nervous about homemade stuff – not so much, though, as he sees the things I [slowly but carefully] create.
I think the summer needs to be about 3 months longer so that I will have time to do all the sewing I have planned. I have patterns for tops and dresses and ideas for skirts. I'm glad you're leaving the skirt gallery up longer, maybe I'll get my May skirt done by July 🙂
There's always too much on the list to list, but here's a few:
I have a set of seersucker jammies to do for the little cousins for our annual lake trip. (can't wait to snap pictures of that!)
I'd like to do a little lightweight lap quilt for my daughter's upcoming big girl bed.
A courier type bag for myself.
Quilted tote bags and accessories in fun, summery colors. Some are for friends and relatives, but I need to keep at least one! I can't wait to see the Joel Dewberry fabric, the preview is yummy!!
I hope to actually learn all of the features of the fancy machine my mom gave me. Then I want to make me some new skirts and tops.
My summer sewing plans are to learn to sew! 🙂 There are a lot of things I'd like to try: aprons, skirts, even some quilting. I have that possibly dangerous "I could learn that!" attitude.
I've got a few "pinny" (spinny, a skirt that twirls) dresses cut out for my 4 year old, need to get those sewn up. I've also been working on cloth shoes using a Japanese pattern for room shoes. And my 8-year-old is trying to convince me she needs more stuffed animals…Oh, and maybe a new bag for myself.
i will be making a few more skirts, and at least 2 quilts. i might get a thing or two made for our state fair, to add to what i already have for that.
i *should* do the damn curtains for my living room too. ick!
I can only tell you about my winter sewing plans down here in the southern hemisphere, but they include a lovely warm lap quilt for all those rainy evenings where I can sit down with hot chocolate and great book; also more skirts for the girls. Skirts are great for any season.
Your skirt month is very inspiring and this summer I want to attempt a skirt! I would love some great fabric to use as accents or something. Hope I win! I also am wanting to make a purse.
Skirt month is over already?!?
For my summer sewing, I plan to make a few skirts, and learn to quilt! I want to make a little baby quilt for a friend who is adopting…
SKIRTS! I have so many planned, it's ridiculous! I also have a beach blanket and a few bags on the agenda.
Since I didn't end up making a skirt for Skirt Month, maybe I'll get around to it before summer ends!
Other than that I still need to make the simple blinds for my son's room so he can stop waking up when the sun rises!
Ooh – summer sewing plans! I have so many!
Both the Amy Butler and Lotta Jansdotter books have found a home on my sewing table, so there are lots of projects from there that are already on my list of to-do's.
I'm also neck-deep in a pile of baby quilts (5!) for presents for little wee ones all due this summer.
Add that to my usual craft list and my sewing machine is going to be getting a workout!
Glad to hear there are new fabrics are on the way. Can't wait to see them. 🙂
More skirts! I think I'm addicted. Plus I plan on working on a cropped jacket for the fall and I think it's going to take me all summer to get it to the point where I will wear it in public!
Thank you for Skirt Month – it really encouraged me to give it a go. But May went by so quickly and I haven't run out of skirty inspiration yet. May be a skirt month in the Autumn to get some ideas for skirts for the cooler months?
But over the Summer I hope to expand my garment repertoire – maybe a couple of dresses. And I would love to make a doll quilt – I am seeing them all over blogland and am smitten.
Skirt month ws great, specially as it coincided with my foray into skirt making. I'm on a bt of a Japanese kick at the moment, but tradtional, not modern. So, a summer of Hippari jackets on a variety of wieghts.
well, I got a skirt started, but quit in disgust, so a skirt is still on my list.
I have the Amy Butler Cabo Halter all ready to get going on. Skirt month really whetted my appetite for making clothes – thanks!
This summer, I will continue sewing totes and bags for, well, just about everyone I know! I never got over my fear of the skirt to start one, even though I had a ton of ideas, but I remain committed to try at least one for this summer.
I also want to try making a few summer jumpers for my daughter who turns one soon. You can see my latest bags, etc. on my flickr page- Joanna's scraps.
Thanks for all your hard work making things easier for the rest of us! 🙂
Well, I'm making skirts. I had big plans for skirt month and didn't get any of them finished yet. Maybe by the time fall rolls around…
This summer I *hope* to make some clothes for my daughter and draft a wrap skirt for me following your great tutorial!
Oh my, I recently made a list of things I want to make and it is so long! I want to try my hand at making clothes, specifically shirts and skirts for me. And maybe a hat. I'm making my mom an apron for her birthday. And I have a whole bunch of quilts in the works. I hope I actually find time to do all these things!
This summer I am going to bite the bullet and start making clothes for myself. A feat I have been too nervous until now to try!
JOEL DEWBERRY OMG! I can't wait. The previews make me drool!
We are moving next week, so once the boxes are unpacked, hopefully mostly by the end of the month, my sewing schedule is:
1. finish Edwardian Apron I was given the pattern and material for Christmas that is started.
2. Stitch up new napkins for daughter's hope chest for her 2nd birthday that was yesterday. (To go with her measuring spoons and cups)
3. Sew up winter set – 6 – 8 place mats, 18 napkins, Regency style apron.
4. Sew bag to hold legos
Hand Stitching
1. Continue to work on quilting Broken Star quilt
2. Work on daughter's wall hanging. (Hawaiian Appliqué)
Do you think I might have too much on the go????
Oh boy…I have been making clothes for the little Miss (17 months) and I. I have a quilt however that has all the fall colors in it that I began last year and then put away. I want to pull it out and finish it up this summer so I can throw it on our bed come October.
I will undoubtedly work on UFO quilts this summer. Either my Hoochy Mama quilt or my CrossWay quilt (nice juxtaposition of titles, eh?) or whatever else my hands grab in my unfinished objects cabinet. My whole sewing room runneth over, really.
I am learning to make aprons. I also hope to make some "laundry helpers" to hold clothes pins on the line.
the to do list is long, hopefully the done list is at least half as short at the end of summer: a few more skirts. Skirt month has me inspired to try Amy Butler's Barcelona skirt, a dress for dd out of a thrifted sheet, a twirly skirt, some bibs, a few more baby gifts, and a few other whatnots!
I'm making presents for my nephew's and my due in July, niece. She's the first girl and I am besides myself. I've pulled out all the pink in my stash to make a baby quilt and a softie. I'm making Superman capes for the three boys. If I have time, I'll make softies for them too.
what am i NOT making? ha ha!
skirts, covering roll blinds, quilts, duvet covers, bunting, pillow covers.
hmm, can you tell i'm redecorating? 🙂
I am planning on making some more skirts, an apron, and hopefully trying some children's clothes.
I'm planning on making litter bags for all the road trips we'll be taking this summer. I am SO excited for the new Amy Butler and Joel Dewberry lines!
My most immediate summer sewing plan is to redecorate (and paint) our bedroom while my husband is out of town for the next 2 weeks. He doesn't know about it.
Yeah, Skirt month was way too short for me. I didn't really get started until last week, but now I don't want to do anything else. So my summer sewing plans include lots of skirts, as well as some more frame purses. Can't wait!
I think I'm finally going to have to have a go at making some smocks and summer dresses for the kiddos. I've had a stack of patterns just sitting there, but now I feel motivated to cut them out and give it a try.
Ooh — summer sewing plans. Where to start? Quilts. Pillows for my mother's couch. A dress for my toddler. Hopefully a skirt for myself (I missed skirt month, but got TONS of inspiration!). Some bags. Oh, and yeah, did I mention quilts?
I have a lot on the plate! First, I am sewing goodie bags for my son's birthday party. Then, the mom has requested a purse, the husband requested a dog bed (so the dog can stop sleeping on our old bedspread) and some cute little outfits for the boy.
This summer it is all about skirts and tops and maybe a ren faire outfit.
Summer sewing plans? Working on UFO's, a few new pincushions, maybe the placemat challenge (?) and really need to get started on a wedding quilt for for a big wedding next spring!
Oh, you're getting the Joel Dewberry fabric! I have been coveting that.
My summer sewing plans are more skirts, some purses and a bunch of tote bags.
This summer I am going to learn to use my machine properly and make some clothes for my girls,a picnic quilt for the garden with some matching napkins and also some totes!It is an extra long summer this year isn't it?
Personally, I'm dying to make a simple dress out of my new Japanes Straight Stitch Dresses book….but for me, being in the southern hemisphere, it's more about winter sewing right now!
I am sewing a strip quilt in pansy colors…purple, yellow, orange, green and blue. Each of the color block has 5 strips of that color. Its a very bright and cheerful sort of quilt.
My sewing this summer will probably consist of sewing some tote bags for my etsy shop and maybe a few other things for that. I also want to sew a few things for myself including at least one summer dress, a few summer shirts, and maybe another skirt or two. (My air conditioning has been broke for a few days, so all I can think about is nice cool clothing for the hot summer weather that we already have!)
You inspired me to make a couple of skirts but they weren't done in time for skirt month. I am planning on some landscape quilts or wall hangings this summer.
I am working on a kaleidoscopic hexagon quilt from One-Block Wonders. The technique is really fun to do. 67 blocks done and another 30 or so to finish. Then who knows?
I have plans for two more summery skirts, both with yokes and half circle skirts to just below the knee. Both cotton. One of them is a lime green batik sort of thing with some embroidery and sequins that I got last year on sale. Also going to make the same skirt for mom in chambray. can you tell I'm into skirts this year? Thanks to all you Skirt Month folks!
We are moving to Texas this summer and our plan is to leave most of our furniture (hand me downs) behind. This of course means that there will be tons of sewing to do, curtains, cushions, bedding and of course some Texas summer clothing too!
So many summer plans – a quilted wall hanging for my Grandma, a lap quilt for my mother, baby presents galore, several totes and bags (for me!) and I may even attempt a skirt or two! What a wonderful way to spend a summer!!!
My summer sewing plans…I have a Amy Butler purse pattern that I would like to do. I also want to try making some clothes for my daughter. I just checked out Joel Dewberry's fabric. Oh my – I'm saving my money already! My biggest goal though – is to attempt a zipper. I will definitely use your tutorial. Wish me luck! : )
Since my boy is at grandma's ALL summer, I've got all the time in the world to sew. Things on my list:
1. Cute summer tops/skirts
2. Cushion covers for my chairs (replacing the ugly brown ones – yuck!)
3. Placemats
4. Probably a million zippy purses (because they're super-fun)
5. And 1000 things I haven't even THOUGHT of yet!! lol
Oh and aprons! Crap – I gotta go! I've got too much to do!
I missed making a skirt during skirt month because it went by so fast! So, hopefully, this summer will see some new skirts leaving the sewing machine. There is so much inspiration for that here at your blog!
Skirt month was so much fun! I'm hopefully going to make a cute off the shoulder shirt and also use some of my scraps from my skirts to make some fabric headbands. I want to make a dress from this pretty fabric I found, but I'm kinda scared to. Oh, and I want to make my mom a new apron, but I haven't found the right fabric for it. I also have to sew my sister's HS graduation presents still, and that's in a couple weeks! Yikes! I haven't even laundered the fabric! Gotta get my butt moving…
I am making a 9-patch quilt top and a bunch of clothes for my toddler daughters! I also got some skirt patterns to try.
This summer I want to make a sock monkey for the babe, along with tons of other goodies for his upcoming room decoration project. He's a year old and we haven't decorated a speck….I guess it's time to get crafty!
This summer I'll be working on two quilts, some totes, an apron and a bohemian skirt. If I can get my act together, that is, and not get sidetracked by all the lovely weather!
I have big plans. First I need to organize my fabric. Right now I can't see my fabric. It hides in plastic containers. So It will get a more visible place to inspire me. Then the rest of the summer will be about baby gifts. I need to make a ton. Right now, I'm leaning towards a couple of quilts, bibs, and burb clothes. Oh I almost forgot – Tote Bags. These will also be gift. I've got all the supplies. I just need to get to work.
More skirts! Skirt month definitely doesn't end with the close of May for me. I'm new to sewing, and skirts are the perfect project for honing my skills. And they're wearable too 🙂 I'd also like to tackle some aprons. Fun!
I have such huge plans for summer sewing! And I'll probably get only two or three of them done 🙂 I didn't get organized in time to participate in Skirt Month, but I'd like to tackle some kind of skirt – and I know just where to look for inspiration! I'm also hoping to finish a couple of small quilts that have been in progress for far too long… I guess I need to get busy!
I am making a quilt for my hubby for father's day—almost finished. Will be making more skirts–thanks for skirt month, got me going on that. Making some table toppers for my dining room table. Love those 5 inch square charms. Also loads of making Bible totes for a fund raiser at church.
Oooo! great sale!!! I missed skirt month so I can't wait for a new theme!
Summer sewing plans? FUN! I want to do a bit of sewing for ME and my kiddos! don't always have time for that. I will also be trying LOTS of new stuff! Patterns, techniques, ideas – really going outside "my box" 😉 I will also be working on my designs for FALL – yippee!!!
Can't wait to get my hands on some Joel Dewberry and Amy's new line as well!!!
I'll be watching for those to pop up on your site!
Would love to make a tote this summer and a twirly skirt for my daughter!
What a GREAT blog! My first time here, great tutorials! My plan for the summer is to sew a few aprons I've been working on designing. I also have a ton of table cloths to finish for my Sister in laws wedding in July. I'm on the hunt for great Amy Butler fabric for a table cloth for myself 🙂 I'm also thinking of attempting toddler dresses for my 2 year old daughter for the first time… very nervous.
Anyhow, great site!! Can't wait to come back and I'm off to explore it more now 🙂
Take care,

Labor Employment of Married Women in Japan: Part-time Work vs. Full-time Work
This paper hypothesizes that socioeconomic factors influence the decisions of married women to participate in the labor market, whether part time or full time. Because of the importance of the growing number of part-time workers among married women in Japan, the authors dealt separately with part-time and full-time workers in urban area. Their findings suggest that it is inappropriate to combine part-time and full-time workers as though they constituted a homogeneous group since there are clear-cut behavioral differences in labor-force participation among married women. Thus, special attention to the specific characteristics of the labor market of married women in Japan is important.

En route to the Lake District last week we called in at Liverpool to see our daughter-in-law and then my parents. We nipped out into Lark Lane for a bite to eat with Emma and I couldn't resist photographing the food place below. I used to think it was just hairdressers who came up with funny names, but this one trumps the lot.

Old Things
Most of what exists is without pedigree. How did it come into one's possession? From where? What makes a 1935 still exist while so much else passes away?
An old school desk gives me a half-mind to refinish it but where would I put it? Life is full and yet more things fit. Flip-flop-flip.
A torn work mitt shoved on a picket on a whim how many years ago never left again. But why should it?
I like the cut of its jib, the upright nap of it.
There's as much sense to one thing as to any other. As much as friendship between individuals who happen to be an owl and a cat.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Ito, Shima Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-03312009-114117 Title Impact of Intrafraction Motion on Post-Mastectomy TomoTherapy of the Chest Wall Degree Master of Science (M.S.) Department Physics & Astronomy Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Kenneth Hogstrom Committee Chair Brent Parker Committee Co-Chair Gabriela Gonzalez Committee Member John Gibbons Committee Member Renee Levine Committee Member Keywords
- Breast cancer
- In-vivo dosimetry
- Air cavity
Date of Defense 2009-03-02 Availability unrestricted AbstractPurpose: The present work investigates the impact of intrafraction motion of the chest wall due to respiration on Post Mastectomy Radiotherapy (PMRT) with TomoTherapy. The hypothesis of this work is that the impact of intrafraction motion on TomoTherapy PMRT will be insignificant as (1) the largest intrafraction movement of the chest wall (CW) in the medial-lateral, anterior-posterior, and superior-inferior dimensions will not exceed 1 cm and (2) that 95% of in-vivo CW point doses on the patient surface will be within 5% of calculated dose and all doses within 10% of calculated dose.
Methods: 4DCT scans were acquired and intrafraction motion of the CW near mastectomy scar was analyzed for 5 PMRT TomoTherapy patients. In-vivo patient CW dose measurements, acquired for clinical purpose using TLD were analyzed. Measured dose was compared to the TomoTherapy calculated dose. Daily MVCT images were collected and the correlation between the amount of air cavity between CW skin and the bolus and the dose difference between TLD measured and calculated dose was studied for each patient. Surface dose measurement using a CW anthropomorphic phantom was performed to add confidence to the patients' data.
Results: The maximum anterior posterior (ant-pos) CW movement of our five patients did not exceed 0.15 cm. 28% of the TLD measured doses differed from the calculated dose by more than 5%, and 2% of all data differed from the calculated dose by more than 10%. Slight positive correlation between air cavity between bolus and the CW surface and measured dose difference was observed for both patients' and phantom data.
Conclusions: The result of this work indicates that the impact of intrafraction motion on TomoTherapy PMRT will be insignificant. Discrepancies between TLD measured CW point dose and calculated dose, but overall, the average dose differences were within 5%. Air cavities created between the bolus and the CW may impact on cause underdosing of the CW surface.

and from May 20- August 19
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Directions: From south Hwy 301 turn east onto South Avenue. Follow South Avenue to Depot Museum, located on the south side of South Avenue, right before the railroad tracks. Look for the caboose. Free Admission.
NOTICE: The Museum will be closed Saturday, May 21 & 28. We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused and invite you to visit during our regular hours resuming on Saturday, June 4.
The original 1927 Atlantic Coast Line Depot was purchased from CSX Railroad by the City of Zephyrhills in 1989 and relocated 200 feet west of its original location. Restoration of the 2,700 square foot building began in 1997 with a Grant from the State Department of Transportation, and a ribbon cutting ceremony was held November 19, 1997, to celebrate its completion. The Historical Preservation Committee and the Zephyrhills Historical Association assisted in many ways to bring this restoration to reality.
Opening on October 20, 1998, under the Library Department, the museum houses a full collection of memorabilia honoring the local community and emphasizing our rich history and connection to trains. Four exhibit areas include the Abbott Station Room, Community Room, Zephyrhills Alumni Room, and the Depot Room. Watch the model trains in action and take home a souvenir from the Zephyrhills Historical Association's Gift Shop. Tours may be arranged by calling the Library at 813.780.0064; special tour days and times may be considered for groups 15 or more.

AN all-terrain vehicle supplied for countryside police in East Lancashire has still not hit the roads amid delays over insuring and fuelling the vehicle.
Councillors in Colne are now set to write to Chief Constable Steve Finnegan because the Land Rover, designed for rural officers, has been sidelined for several months.
The vehicle was donated by the Hillendale dealership on the Lomeshaye Industrial Estate in Nelson, and the town's area committee had agreed a £500 grant for signage marking the link-up.
Coun Graham Waugh, Colne committee chairman, said: "We have got nine officers sharing one Vauxhall Corsa, and the offer of a four-by-four.
"Surely it is not the beyond the wit of the chief superintendent and the chief constable to sort this out because we are dismayed by this outcome."
Coun Joe Cooney, who also sits on the committee and is the borough council leader, added: "We agreed to part-fund signage for this vehicle so we have done our bit.
"The police have been given this vehicle by this dealer and they don't seem to want it."
The committee heard that an offer had been made by Chief Supt Chris Bithell, eastern policing division commander, regarding the on-road costs for the Land Rover.
But councillors were told that further objections appeared to have been raised by police headquarters regarding its deployment.
Councillors have agreed to write a letter to the chief constable to enquire whether the situation can be resolved.
Lancashire Police was unavailable for comment last night.

St. Joseph Sr. Catherine Pinkerton took center stage at the Democratic National Convention Aug. 27 when she gave the benediction to close the party's third day of business.
But first she had to use some of her school principal authority to get the convention's attention.
Pinkerton, 86, is a lobbyist for Network, a national Catholic social justice lobby.
For 24 years, her work has been limited to nonpartisan concerns related to international trade and investment.
However, since April, Pinkerton has served as one of nine co-chairs of the Catholic National Advisory Council to the Obama campaign.
"I think it's a great opportunity for the church to show Catholic social teaching," the nun from Cleveland told CNS 24 hours after offering her prayer. "If there's anything that's going to change the way this country is going, it's those principles."

Hello. If you'd like to chat about this holiday or need help finding one we're very happy to help. Rosy & team.01273 823 700 firstname.lastname@example.com
On this holiday you will be based at Asa Wright Nature Centre in Trinidad, which has become a model for sustainable development and ecotourism projects in the Caribbean winning many prestigious national, regional and international awards. The Nature Centre is an actively participates in the life of the surrounding local communities and all of the Centres employees, including the birding guides come from the nearby villages. Their mission statement is To preserve a part of the Arima Valley in its natural state; to create a conservation and study area; and to protect the wildlife therein for the enjoyment and benefit of all persons of this and succeeding generations. Since its inception in 1967, the Centre has functioned as a wildlife sanctuary and a centre for conservation, research and education, as well as being a fantastic nature lodge. Operated as a non-profit trust, all the funds obtained from visiting guests are directly invested in conservation programmes, so just by staying here you will be helping directly to their efforts.
On this tour, you will visit various bird sanctuaries and national parks, many of which do not normally benefit from visits from mainstream tourism. The entrance fees we pay to enter these go directly to sustaining them. Wherever you travel, you will be accompanied by well-trained and experienced local guides, who are familiar with their environment and are responsible for protecting it, offering advice on how to preserve the delicate balance of nature. They are also of course, best placed to know where to find the various species of birds.
For instance in Tobago, your guide Newton George comes from the village of Speyside, adjacent to your hotel and is probably the islands most knowledgeable birding guide. With 34 years experience as one of only two Forest Reserve Rangers on the island, he retired from this position in 2004 and now leads bird watching tours on a full time basis. His environmental credentials are without question and among his many claims to fame is establishing the Red Billed Tropic Bird viewing site on Little Tobago, which was featured in David Attenboroughs Trials of Life.
We run our small office, in an energy efficient manner. We recycle everything possible, including ink cartridges and purchase recycled paper.
We choose all the accommodation that we use very carefully, for their location and their operating systems and work very closely with them. We visit every property regularly, to ensure that standards are kept, that they remain sympathetic to the environment, that whatever possible is done to be more energy sufficient and just to keep in touch.
We always recommend that guests eat out in local restaurants, try the street food from vendors and take part in the local culture, thus spreading holiday spending throughout the local community.

Recently Samsung Galaxy Note has been the hottest topic on digital websites. If you've used a Samsung Galaxy S II, then you're already familiar with the Note — the design is quite similar, though it's significantly larger, measuring 146.85 x 82.95 x 9.65mm, compared with 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.49mm for the GS II. There's also 1080 / 30p HD video recording, with support for MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264 codecs. You can store all that multimedia on the 16GB of internal memory, expandable by up to 32GB with a microSD card.
The newly released Galaxy Note has so powerful functions, so it's great for us to put movies on Galaxy Note due to its big storage, and it's wonderful to watch videos on Galaxy Note with the big screen. But you may have encountered some Galaxy Note play problems when you want to play MKV/FLV videos on Galaxy Note. MKV/FLV format is not supported by Note, so you need a Galaxy Note converter. Below are some tips for you and you will know how to watch MKV/FLV videos on Galaxy Note. (more…)

Dear Editor,
I think that now is the time to stop all immigration – all colors and all nationalities.
We do not need people in America that we have to hire extra law enforcement to watch over.
We do not need to add to our population as we are losing our beauty of nature.
Extra expenses such as hospital care, law enforcement, and unemployment expenses are stupid in my opinion.
As you vote, make sure this person is for America and of America.
Telephones, computers, and other means of communications do not need to be tapped as we ship these discontents who came here to change America back to their home.
Our southern border needs two fences so enforcement can patrol between them in order to stop foreign intruders.
When you vote be sure the person is a full blooded American who does not want to change our country to be like the countries we came here to get away from. Do not elect a con artist who talks about generic "Change". The change might be in an anti-American direction.
We do not need twenty million people on welfare nor do we need foreign labor to compete with us on jobs.
Return to the facts that our forefathers laid down, not some add ons that we are now facing not in size, but in facts of truth.
The destruction of the twin towers was made by people who were living among us in the USA.
Save America – pick up the trash.

If his public debut as managing director of
In true Rio style, Edmands came off the long run on Wednesday, launching a series of wicked bouncers at Australia's tax, industrial relations and regulatory regimes.
Speaking on the opening day of the Minerals Council's annual gabfest in Canberra, Edmands predicted that the product of Australia's failure to pursue effective reform of these key levers of competitive productivity would be lifestyle-eroding mediocrity.
What made Edmands's introductory commentary more valuable than your average big-end-of-town rant was that he used living, breathing examples where outcomes for Rio had been damaged by flawed policy.
To highlight the uncompetitiveness of the Australian tax and royalty regimes, he pointed to the coal sector, where 12,000 jobs have been lost to cyclical circumstance within and without the industry's control.
With thermal coal prices having retreated from $US120 a tonne to something routinely below $US80 a tonne and with no relief in sight from the Australian dollar's crippling strength, much of the Australian coal industry is living on the edge.
But coal continues to absorb "an unsustainable tax and royalty burden, given its cost structures and current world prices", Edmands noted.
"On the flip side our industry already makes a mindboggling contribution to tax revenues, but we need to articulate this better to the broader Australian community – and explain the threats.
"As an industry we know that there is an ongoing need to balance levels of taxation with incentivising investment. If we get that balance wrong, and set tax rates too high, this will be self-defeating. It will reduce investment, consequently reduce growth, and so reduce the tax base."
On industrial relations, Edmands bemoaned a system that sustains collectivism and inflexibility at a time when productivity is about the only tool left in the bag to protect our global competitiveness.
"We need to get past industrial relations being a topic too hot to handle, so that we can have a sensible and robust debate over what is actually needed, " Edmands said.
Rio was one of the wellsprings of individual contracts in the Australian workplace and Edmands plainly reasserted the company's commitment to any and all workers' right to opt out of the collective process.
One of the current points of tension Edmand's called out was the way the absurd and the trivial in ambit employment agreement claims can become triggers for industrial action.
Need to limit ambit claims
"Of course everyone is entitled to put forward whatever demands he or she wishes in relation to employment conditions. But the system should limit the ability of ambit claims to cause delay," he said.
To flesh out his argument, Edmands described claims made in an extant negotiation over an enterprise agreement for workers at a project he indicated was already operating on the margins of viability.
Some of the mission-critical issues in that negotiation include a claim for cushions on the currently bare seats in crib huts, a claim for 7½ days' extra annual leave a year and a claim for compassionate leave to be available on the death of "significant pets or animals, horses, cattle etc".
On the regulatory front, Rio has even more cause for a gripe. To introduce his pitch here, Edmands cited a recent World Economic Forum report that said: "The quality of Australia's public institutions is excellent except when it comes to the burden of government regulation, where the country ranks a poor 128th. Indeed, the business community cites labour regulations and bureaucratic red tape as being, respectively, the first and second most problematic factor for doing business in their country."
Edmands sensibly acknowledged that regulation is the necessary mechanic for the protection of the community from harm.
"However, regulation also brings inherent dangers. Regulations tend to evolve – and expand and multiply – over time, and they can become the playthings of interest groups with agendas quite remote from their original purpose."
Twice over the past three years Rio has got towards the pointy end of a years-long environmental approval process only to be forced back to square one by unexpected ministerial or courtroom intervention.
In 2012, then federal environment spokesman
A similar mudslide of good intentions misplaced has subsequently enveloped Rio's Warkworth coal mine expansion. Just as South of Embley is critical to extending the life of bauxite mining at Weipa, so Warkworth will protect jobs at the Mt Thorley coal mine. Once again the regulatory deal was done when Rio was sent back to square one, this time by the NSW Land & Environment Court. And, once again, a business case for investment is being unpicked.
"The cost of this delay has constrained the operation of the mine, resulting in the loss of more $100 million in revenue, and placed the future viability of the mine at risk."
Edmands continued: "These approval processes have lost sight of their original purpose: efficiently reaching the scientifically correct answer.
"Laws created to foster responsible development have been abused by those wishing to halt all mining development. They are entitled to that view, and entitled to submit it to an approval process. But it is not up to them to make that policy decision for Australia, it is up to all Australians via their elected government."
The really odd thing about the exploration drilling campaign that announced Metgasco as the latest tar baby of the coal seam gas industry is that its well of controversy had a thoroughly conventional intention.
That's right. The well stopped by the NSW Office of Coal Seam Gas on May 13 did not target coal seams and was not going to involve fracture stimulation.
Nonetheless, the OSCG decided that Metgasco had somehow failed in its community consultation obligations because the well would target so called tight gas above the main target, a big convention gas trap. That, mind you, had been previously approved.
The OCSG suspension was confirmed publicly on May 15 by the NSW Minister for Resources and Energy,
Again, this reference was made without forewarning and its public confirmation only added to the tarnish gathering rapidly on Metgasco's vulnerable reputation.
Now, from where I sit, the belated and politically motivated intervention in Metgasco's drilling plans was extraordinary, a violation of processes established by legislation and based on a profound and basic error that has been knowingly seeded and propagated by the anti-gas lobby.
Frustration over the public flaying of his company's reputation has finally pushed Metgasco's battle-hardened chairman, industry veteran
On Wednesday Gill delivered a five page missive defending his company to every member of the NSW Parliament. It is understood Gill has also written to ICAC requesting an acceleration of any investigation of the referral and offering access to all information it might need to complete its assessment. At the same time, the company has appointed new lawyers, Gilbert & Tobin, with instruction to review all of its legal options.

Despite proposing mandatory equipage with emergency locator transmitters that broadcast on 406 MHz by Feb. 9, 2009, Transport Canada now says it is delaying the move to give its rulemaking technical committee more time to explore alternative means of compliance. The Aircraft Electronics Association said it will have a representative on the committee, who will help ensure that system installation and maintenance issues are properly addressed. The worldwide satellites that listen for ELT signals stopped monitoring 121.5 MHz on February 9. ICAO rules call for mandatory carriage of 406-MHz units, but the U.S. and Canada merely urge aircraft operators to upgrade to the new technology.

Only perfect storm in Tony Ryall's head
SOE Spokesperson
14 March 2013 MEDIA STATEMENT
Only perfect storm in Tony Ryall's head
Tony Ryall claims Solid Energy faced a perfect storm but the only perfect storm is in his head, says Labour's SOEs spokesperson Clayton Cosgrove.
"Tony Ryall claims that Solid Energy was facing a perfect storm. But he refuses to accept that demanding that a company facing falling revenue and coal prices should ramp up debt and increase dividends was a key factor in Solid Energy's downfall.
"John Key himself says the increased gearing was one of three reasons Solid Energy collapsed. But it was his Government that demanded that Solid Energy increase its debt.
"John Palmer also confirmed that John Key has misled the people of New Zealand. John Key claimed that Solid Energy had asked the Government for a $1 billion capital injection. John Palmer said this never happened.
"The $1 billion capital injection is a pipedream of John Key as he desperately attempts to pass the buck. New Zealanders will see through it. The buck stops with the Prime Minister.
"National has constantly claimed there was nothing they could do to stop the collapse of Solid Energy. But John Palmer has confirmed that National minsters were fully informed of the state of the company but he received no direction or instructions to change tack.
"National ministers stood by while hundreds of jobs were cut across the country.
"Ministers had the powers to direct the company to change its investments, to reduce debt, to stop paying dividends or sack the board. In fact they asked the Board to expand coal projects, increase debt and pay out more dividends. Yet they now deny responsibility for their recklessness.
"National has pointed the finger at everyone else but it's crystal clear that the blame lies at the heart of the Beehive," says Clayton Cosgrove.

SOMERFORD remain the team to beat for the runners-up spot in Division One.
Spike Chandler's side bounced back from last week's 4-3 loss to Prestige Bodyworks with a 12-6 victory at Corsham CC Wildcats, which means victory in their two remaining fixtures at Prestige and White Horse would see them beat the latter to second place.
Ashley Monaghan gave Somerford the lead before Adam Mitchell turned the match in the Wildcats favour as his double put them 2-1 in front. Chris Yeo managed to get Somerford on level terms before half time when he scored from the penalty spot for 2-2.
Somerford then went for the jugular in the second half with Matt Spear scoring three, Kieran Ingram helped himself to five, Monaghan added a second to his first-half effort and Matt Holdaway made up the dozen.
The Wildcats replied with a late flourish of their own, Mitchell added another to complete his hat trick and Andy Davis bagged the other three for Scott Fleming's side.
Kings Arms (All Cannings) 1 White Horse A 3
HAVING dropped what could prove to be vital points in their bid for an automatic promotion spot last time out, White Horse (Sunday) A FC bounced back in typical fashion and claimed the spoils against Kings Arms (All Cannings) to reignite their bid for the runners-up spot.
The victory was anything but a formality however, as Jim Wilson's side defied their lowly league position and played more than their part in an entertaining game that eventually saw the Westbury side return home with a 3-1 win, despite the heroics of Cannings' 48-year-old keeper Paul Clark.
The opening encounters set the tone for the morning, Horse trying to set a quick tempo and Kings Arms playing out from the back with a remarkable composure considering their league position. Having applied early pressure the visitors got the opening goal in just the 15th minute, captain Rob Hart scuffing home for his first of the season, following tenacious play by Nick Mead.
The home side's response was nearly instant though, Liam Mortimer doing well down the right flank before crossing for John Stockman to send a looping header over keeper Rich Hunt to level the scores just two minutes later.
The goal seemed to give the hosts a sense of belief, but they began to call upon Clark more and more as the first half wore on, the veteran shot stopper making several point blank stops.
The second period started in similar fashion and with Clark, and now his woodwork, denying them, Horse began to wonder if it was just going to be one of those days.
On the hour mark, Horse were given the perfect opportunity to regain the advantage when Steve Oakley was upended in the penalty area, only for Clark to guess right and keep out Nick Mead's spot kick.
Mickey O'Donnell even tried his best to beat his own keeper only for the post to save his blushes and then Jordan Gullis hit the crossbar as time began to slip away for the guests.
With 71 minutes on the clock the tension was released however, as the ever lively Tom Oakley got his foot on the end of a Dale Rowland corner, his volley finding the back of the net to finally break Kings Arms' and in particular Clark's resilience.
Further drama was still in store though, as Hunt was forced off with 14 minutes remaining with what appeared a nasty knee injury.
With only himself left on the bench Horse manager Clive Black donned the gloves and the hosts' renewed hope of salvaging at least a point was strengthened even further when Allan Clarke pulled up lame and finished the game as a makeshift striker.
Despite the apparent advantage though, Wilson's team failed to test the stand-in keeper and it was Horse that claimed the fourth goal of the game to seal the victory – Rowland finding the net to make it 3-1 and in doing so, for the second year running, reaching the 20 goal mark.
The result ends a disappointing season for the villagers, but sets up a tantalising last day of the season clash between promotional hopefuls White Horse and Somerford FC in two weeks' time.

1. Charity Care Accountability
AB 975, jointly authored by Assembly member
The bill would:
* Clearly define what constitutes charity care which must be the direct provision of care to the uninsured or underinsured, not promotional activities, marketing, cost containment, or other activities more intended to generate profit.
* Set similar restrictions on the definition of "community benefit" programs.
* Improve reporting requirements for greater public transparency in how hospitals are meeting their charity care obligation, with financial penalties for hospitals that fail to meet reporting requirements.
* Establish a mandatory minimum level of charity care that all private nonprofit hospitals must meet to maintain eligibility for tax-exempt status of 5 percent of the hospital's net revenue.
According to last year's CNA report, based on public records, half of

3. Public Transparency and Accountability for New California Health Insurers
With the implementation of the federal Affordable Care Act, more healthcare insurance companies and other industry players are seeking to cash in on the lucrative profits of enrolling additional members who are required to buy insurance.
AB 578, authored by Assembly member
4. Extending Safety Standards
SB 631, authored by Sen.
An increasing number of hospitals are diverting patients from hospitals to outpatient clinics as well as to "observation" units, often adjacent to emergency rooms, where they can be held for prolonged stays without being formally admitted to in-patient hospital beds which have tougher regulatory oversight than clinics and observation units.
The Time report noted that outpatient services have now become a major driver of rising healthcare costs, while becoming "wildly profitable." A McKinsey survey found outpatient emergency-room care averages an operating profit margin of 15 percent and nonemergency outpatient care averages 35 percent, compared to inpatient profit margins of about 2 percent. "Experts estimate that outpatient services are now packed with so much hidden profit that about two-thirds of the
"The legislature and the public should have a greater understanding of how healthcare providers are utilizing non-hospital settings, and whether they are appropriately placing patients in these settings, or abusing those placements to avoid greater oversight and public protection. This bill will begin an important process for making sure our patients have the protection and care they need everywhere healthcare is delivered," said Markowitz.

HOUSTON - A day care owner has been indicted in the deaths of four children killed in a fire.
A Harris County grand jury indicted Jessica Tata, 23, on four counts of felony murder on Wednesday.
Tata, 23, has also been charged with four counts of abandoning a child and one count of reckless injury to a child. She's being held in the Harris County Jail with bond set at $1.1 million.
Shomari Dickerson, 3, Elizabeth Kojah, 20 months, Kendyll Stradford, 20 months, and Elias Castillo died from the fire at a home in the 2800 block of Crestpark at Waypark shortly before 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 24. The house served as a day care facility called Jackie's Child Care.
Three other children were injured in the blaze.
Arson investigators said the fire started in the kitchen after a pot of oil was left on a hot burner.
Tata was supposed to be watching the children, but Houston Fire Department officials said she was grocery shopping at a Target store nearby when the fire started. Detectives said security video showed her arriving at the store at 1:09 p.m. and driving away from the store at 1:24 p.m. The children had been left home alone, investigators said.
Witnesses said Tata returned as smoke began billowing out of the home day care. The first call to 911 was made by someone other than Tata at 1:29 p.m., investigators said.
Tata's attorney, Mike DeGeurin, said murder charges were an unnecessary stretch of the law.
Tata went to Nigeria before she was charged. Her brother said he helped her fly there because his family wanted her safe from death threats and media scrutiny. She returned to the United States several weeks after she had been charged in connection with the deaths.
If convicted, Tata faces between five years and life in prison.
Tata is scheduled for arraignment on the new charges on July 8.
City Passes Ordinance For Home Day Care Inspections
Houston City Council passed an ordinance on Wednesday that requires annual fire department inspections of home day cares.
Inspectors will look for fire extinguishers, fire detectors, exits and escape plans.
"If they weren't exposed to it before, we're going to give them that lesson on what to look for," said HFD Executive Assistant Chief Richard Galvan. "At times, there could be as little as an exit door being blocked."
The city will charge home day cares $100 a year to cover the cost of the inspections. Those who do not pay will face a $2,000 penalty.
The ordinance also requires operators to have their home open and available for inspection any time a fire inspector stops by.
City officials said Houston has about 1,000 registered home day cares.

Orion Ensemble Offers World Premiere Jazz Piece, Pianist Miguel de la Cerna to Conclude Season, 5/9,13
As the concluding concert of its 2011–12 season-Chamber Treasures Meet Chicago Jazz-The Orion Ensemble presents "All That Jazz!" featuring a world premiere by guest pianist Miguel de la Cerna, a Fauré quartet and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Performances are May 6 at Music Institute of Chicago's Nichols Concert Hall in Evanston, May 9 at Roosevelt University's Ganz Memorial Hall in Chicago and May 13 at Fox Valley Presbyterian Church in Geneva.
The program's world premiere commission by Chicago jazz musician Miguel de la Cerna, who also will perform with Orion, represents "Chicago jazz" by covering various eras of the genre. Describing the four-movement piece, entitled Livingston 8 – A Fantasy, de la Cerna said, "I decided to use the music of my life, growing up and living on the South Side of Chicago from 1960 until today. The piece is a jazz, blues, gospel, funk improvisation fantasy written for a traditional chamber ensemble."
Bridging these two pieces, chronologically and aesthetically, is George Gershwin's American classic Rhapsody in Blue, here arranged for clarinet and piano by Timofei Dokshitser.
Miguel de la Cerna, a Hyde Park native, is a multifaceted pianist, conductor and music director. He is most known for his jazz arrangements for singers but is also accomplished in classical music and musical theatre. Miguel has performed at the Chicago Jazz Festival, and he received critical acclaim for his arrangements and direction of Dee Alexander's Tribute to Nina Simone and Dinah Washington at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. Miguel was featured pianist and arranger for the Eldee Young Quartet, which made extensive tours of Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Scheduled for release mid 2013 the new FCS 2 Fin System is a fully tool less system that will replace current system. Now you'll be able to pop your fins in and out on the fly in a matter of few seconds. You would think the fins wouldn't be as locked in, or pop out while your riding them, but FCS and their team riders have been hard at work testing the new system, and they're all giving it the thumbs up, calling it the best fin system out there. The system will require special tool less fins to work as a tool free setup, but will still be compatible with older FCS Fins. So if you have a set of fins that is no longer made, you can still throw them in with the new FCS II system, but you'll have to screw them in.
We'll have the new FCS 2 Fins for sale on our website as soon as they're available, so keep checking back, or subscribe to our newsletter at the bottom of this page to get updates on new arrivals.

Sound — 9
I use this with a Walden GC630ce electro-acoustic guitar. It has a fairly average undersaddle pickup, that usually sounds a bit nasal, has a very honky/quacky midrange tone and is generally a bit noisy, but with the Takamine DI, the impedance of the signal is matched to whatever output you are using (amp or mixer/pa system),silences hum and optimises the sound quality. I started off with a fairly uninteresting tone, and managed to get a subtly warmer and more natural sound, after some tweaking with an EQ pedal in the loop. It has always been a dilemma for me to get a live tone that I am happy with, and this pedal has brought that Holy Grail sound a whole lot closer.
Overall Impression — 9
I have been playing for 8 years, and I usually play most types of acoustic music, including Delta Blues, Folk, Gypsy Jazz and Pop. The Takamine DI suits my way of fingerstyle playing well, transforming my stale tone into a warm, smooth and natural sound. When played with a pick, it sounds great too, but I prefer to play fingerstyle, or with a thumbpick. Before buying this product, I compared it to the LR Baggs Para DI, but the saving in money won me over, and, upon reading the manual, it turns out the Takamine has more features anyway, and its a little bit more unique. The only thing I wish it had, would be an EQ, but I already own a top EQ (MXR 10 band), so its not a problem. If it got broken, or was stolen, I would definately replace it, but I would take the time to try it side by side with the Para DI, to see if the higher price is justified. Overall, a great product.
Reliability & Durability — 9
This thing looks like it could take a real battering. All input jacks, knobs and footswitches are heavy duty, and the LEDs to show the mode of operations are all clear and different colours to show activity of the different functions. The casing is made of brushed steel, with a rubber tread underneath, to prevent slippage on stage. I have not used it at a gig, but I have used it in my home setup, and I believe it will be an excellent addition to my live rig.
Ease of Use — 9
I bought this DI box, as a cheaper alternative to some of the higher end boxes, specifically tailored to suit electro-acoustic guitar. It features a footswitchable boost up to +6db, footswitchable effects loop, ground lift button, -12db pad button, buffered output for amps, unbalanced output for mixers, XLR Low-Z output for providing the appropriate signal to Low-Z or High-Z devices and last, but not least, a footswitchable mute (which you have to connect to your own On/Off pedal. Despite all this, the unit remains very user friendly, and within 20 minutes, I had unboxed it, followed the instructions, and linked it up to an old bass amp. Overall, this unit is brimming with features, and arrives with a clear, concise user's manuel which explains the functions and their applications, and shows a sample setup guide with diagrams, to make everything super clear. It also came with a 28v power supply, with 2 interchangable plugs (UK and European) and a 10 foot stereo cable (for use with the CoolTube, explained later). The unit was designed and optimised, to be used in conjunction with Takamine guitars with the CoolTube preamp, and features a power supply for the tube, which is housed inside the guitar, and stays at a low temperature. However, it is great for use with any acousic instrument with a pickup.

Overtime at state agencies hit a record $611 million in 2013, a nearly 16 percent increase compared to 2012, Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said today.
He said overtime increased in 2013 for the third straight year.
"State employees logged 14.8 million overtime hours last year, costing taxpayers a record $611 million. New York's overtime bill is increasing and needs to be reined in," DiNapoli said in a statement.
Gannett's Albany Bureau reported earlier this month that 11 state employees earned more than $100,000 in overtime alone last year.
DiNapoli said the state's agency workforce has declined 10.9 percent, from 180,564 in 2007 to 160,829 last year. The figures do not include SUNY, which is outside the executive agencies controlled by the governor.
Three agencies that operate institutional facilities – the Office of Mental Health, the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision and the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities – accounted for 64 percent of the overtime in 2013, DiNapoli said, but their overtime dropped slightly overall.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office has defended the overtime costs, saying much of it had to do with recovery efforts after Superstorm Sandy in October 2012, as well as lowering the number of employees.
