Turn Those Raw Edges Under
September 1, 2010
Today I'm going to share with you a great tutorial on an applique method called "Freezer Paper Machine Applique". I'm not for sure if this is the "traditional" freezer paper method, rather it is the freezer paper method I use –bits and pieces coming from all sorts of different outlets.
Have you noticed the new pages on my blog? I'm now offering a "Quilt Patterns" page and a new "Free Tutorials" page. I'll be posting tutorials on a regular basis and if you would like to stay informed about future tutorials like this one, please sign-up for my newsletter or RSS feed.
And guess what? Because I make things that add character, warmth, and charm to a space, without the extravagance that might otherwise make beautiful things inaccessible to those with children, I turn my raw edges under. Yes, that's right, I turn them under. I find that the quality and the durability is MUCH greater when edges are turned under on applique pieces.
Turn Those Raw Edges Under! – A PDF Tutorial on Machine Appliqué
Note: The PDF document is packed full of helpful pictures. It really steps you through this process with ease.
Go on, give it a try, applique something!

I don't understand any of this, but it's beautiful!
I know you don't sew Kristina 😉 but if you ever wanted to learn how, I'm sure I could help you with a project like this.

Please, god: the housing market may be starting to recover.

The housing recovery is smoke and mirrors. How many people are holding mortgages on houses they can't sell because their value has dropped to 50% or lower than when they bought them?
I doubt that a full recovery for real estate will be achieved in 2013. With the change in taxes there will be less dollars to spend for a home. The Bush era tax cuts were extended for those below $400,000 - $450,000 but the taxes will not stay at the same level for those under the figure used. Not only will there be more income taxes deducted from your pay but there will be added taxes taken for the Affordable Health Care Act.
The fiscal cliff was avoided at a cost of the debt ceiling being raised another $4 trillion over the next few years. Borrowing money that will never be paid back is still wrong and will always be wrong.

The Rankin Family History Project began in 1997 with a simple 3 generation family chart. Inspiration came from our grandmother who has shared a lot of great stories and really got us going when she loaned us her copy of Maryland Catholics on the Frontier by Timothy O'Rourke; and also from Alex Haley, whom we had the pleasure of meeting shortly before Roots was published. This site is dedicated to our great-grandparents. Without them, we would not be here.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Dee Brown scored 16 of his 20 points after halftime and made two 3-pointers during a 12-0 run midway through the second half to lift No. 10 Illinois to a 75-68 victory over No. 25 Michigan State on Saturday.
The Illini (25-5, 11-5 Big Ten) closed the regular season with five wins in six games and will share the conference title if last-place Purdue upsets Ohio State on the road Sunday.
The Spartans (20-10, 8-8) lost five of their last seven, crumbling down the stretch in a season that started with them ranked fourth in the country and as favorites to win the Big Ten. Michigan State's Paul Davis had 21 points and 14 rebounds, Shannon Brown scored 20 and Maurice Ager added 15 points.
The Big Ten tournament starts Thursday.
Brown broke a 48-all tie with a 3-pointer with more than 12 minutes left. Teammate Jamar Smith followed with a pair of shots beyond the arc and Brown closed the decisive run with another 3-pointer.
The Spartans pulled within six points with four-plus minutes to go and again with 2:09 left, but gave up baskets to James Augustine on the ensuing possessions each time.
Rich McBride and Shaun Pruitt each scored 12 for the Illini. Augustine and Smith added 10 points apiece for Illinois, which won its fifth straight against the Spartans.
Michigan State's top three players were solid, but they didn't get much help with the rest of the team combining for just 12 points.
The Spartans, already reeling in the frontcourt without power forward Matt Trannon because of a broken jaw, missed power forward Marquise Gray, who injured his right foot in the previous victory over Wisconsin.
Michigan State led 35-34 at halftime. Smith's jumper at the end of the half was ruled good on the court and initially by the officials after a video review. The officials came back onto the court midway through halftime to get another look at the play, and they decided to overturn their decision.
The Spartans ended up losing for just the second time at home this season. Since the 1998-99 season they are 111-9 at the Breslin Center.

Washington, January 1 (ANI): In a new research, archaeologists have discovered about 300 strange geoglyphs in the Amazon rainforest.
The geoglyphs, which are large geometric designs carved into the ground, are believed to have been sculpted by ancient people from the Amazon region around 700 years ago, though their purpose is still unknown.
According to a report in Science and Technology, so far, nearly 300 geoglyphs have been identified.
But, with advances in satellite imaging and increased clearing of the jungle coverage, scientists are hoping to discover many more of these strange, geometric designs.
One of the factors that contributed to so many geoglyphs being undetected prior to the aid of satellites is their enormous size.
Leading geoglyph scientist Alceu Ranzi said that his latest discoveries - five sets of geometric shapes, with circles, squares and lines - can measure more than a mile from one extreme to another.
Because they have been so hard to find, the first geoglyphs weren't discovered until the 1970s.
Since then, scientists have been trying to piece together what significance they may have had to ancient Amazonians.
What ever the purpose may have been, there's one thing that is certain that the ancient civilizations of the rainforest were more numerous and sophisticated than previously imagined.
The new marks were only discovered because the jungle coverage had been removed to due to deforestation in the Amazon.
These structures are deep, with grooves are as large as 12 meters wide and four deep, but it is believed that they were built when jungle abounded, which would make their construction all the more difficult. (ANI)

President Shona Han, of the North American Coalition. And the Pan American League, Bringer of freedom, Emerald Queen to the people of Mexico... took a deep breath. She'd prepared for this, in many ways, for a long long time. And now... it was time to speak to the world. To give the speech of a lifetime, even by her high standards.
It was slightly ironic, really. The NAC was under battle conditions, so she was delivering it to a camera, not a large press conference. This slightly discomforted Shona... she was more used to large crowds
People of the world, listen to my plea. Our planet has become a dangerous place these last few years Millions of dead, endless bloodshed and misery...
She pauses then. Whatever else she might have been, Shona Han was a consummate politician. She knew how to put on a show. Her voice grows more emotional, more passionate, as she continues, rising to a fire, as it had done so many times before...
Why? Because the other person disagreed with you? Because the other man has different priorities? Because he believes in different principles to you? In the end, it's all the same. Madmen run rampant and millions have already died. I no longer speak for myself, or the NAC, I speak for mankind.
Satellite upon satellite, intricate, and engraved with the sign of the Cross, orbiting the Earth, tied together by chains of signals and programming.. The world is in flames. The Great Wall of China is now nothing more then a footnote in history. A few spots on the world might just be fires, so large, they can be seen even from orbit. A testament to man's ability to destroy.
Look around us, just for a few moments. See all the things that have been lost forever more. See the things that could have been avoided if the human race simply acted as one group, instead of a fractured braying collection of mobs.
Han pauses, looking at the small group of cameras. There was actually a tear in her eye, as she continued... but her voice was firm with the steel that had made her the driving force of the world stage. And she needed it now, as she made the greatest announcement in her political history. And, as it turned out, the most destructive...
We can stand for this no longer. America's armies are marching, yes. They will bring control by force, yes. No other option could work. But make no mistake. They do not conquer in my name, or in America's name. Whenever you fight us you do not fight Americans, you fight humans.
Armed soldiers march across America. In the shining green power armor of the Emerald Queen, they appear as a mighty gleaming men of metal that scatter any opposition. Two massive constructs, of iron and earth, swarming with these soldiers, stand as witnesses to the conflict. Creatures that con only be described as Dragons circle overhead. A sole woman, clad in dark red armor that makes her guise that of a lion, raises metal claws to the sunset, saluting a group of this massive legion as they pass her by...
To all the nations of the world, I say this. We offer a solution to bloodshed. To all bloodshed. Simply agree to become a member of a new order. A better order Not one led by me, or Premier Ramirez, but by a council of us all.
The New United Nations Inner council chamber. A battered collection of diplomats sit their, watching the broadcast. They represent the TRUE free states, from the UNE, the Papal States, Solaris, the USA, and the few other remaining states outside Han's domination... All united now, against the American menace, .... an alarm is sounding, as the Solarian military mobilizes, and the base goes into lockdown . Africa was no stranger to war, but it would be prepared this time...
It will not be a surrender, it will be a release from the bonds of hardship. Look at our accomplishments. The Pandorans have cybernetics and brilliant minds, the UNE has the Mechs and have striven much for their people,, The NAC has the leading biological science in the field, as our foes will now discover.
In silence, a group of black armored warriors with gliders on their backs, fall silently into the interior of a large instillation. Guards pursue them, but it matters not. They open fire on the technicians, even as some of them scrabble into a series of gigantic mechanical men. Slowly, one or two of them being to move....
If we simply banded together and stood as one, then we would not only prosper as a nation, but as a world.
Ruins. Devastation. Groaning, shambling hordes of what was once men and women stalk the land. Bodies without number are placed upon a pyre, and observers wear heavy gas masks. A mutilated corpse here, a pile of blood there... A red-clad man standing, his back to the Alps, as he extorts the people to rise and reforge a lost empire... Only to fall to a shot from the head, as soldiers with a half cog embalm on their helmets, and the people start to disperse
If we had been less focused on being at each others throats, Plagues and famines may not be spreading throughout our ranks, and this tragic war would be unnecessary.
Will Rowe, leader of Pandora looked down from the spires of Pandora's capitol, frowning at the black metal of a massive fortress floating a few feet of the ground. He turns away, slowly, ignoring the image of the pontificating Shona Han to a man in a labcoat. Pandora might not have been the most moral nation, or the most ethical, but freedom was important... and Shona was misguided. She needed to be stopped.
I realize that I will be called tyrant, and dictator for this. I am no stranger to such cries. I promise you, if you desire it, that once this final act is done, I will step down from office, leave power behind me, and submit myself to any court, to pay for my crimes. I don't care about myself any longer. This is beyond individuals, beyond you or me, this is about the world.
The Orbital Vatican; A bright cross, orbiting the Earth, and visible below, as a second sun. Aboard, in a hidden room, A floating, disembodied presence, once known as Cardinal Williams, gazes out of compute equipment at a group of unconcious men and women in vats, wires tying them to a singular machine in the center.
The NAC troops have been instructed to keep civilian deaths to a minimum and try their best to keep homes and cities in tact. I at least urge my opponents to do the same. I am not in this for power, or glory, I fight for that thing we all profess to desire; everlasting peace.
African in ruins. South Africa in flames, dead men and women prowling the deasert. Cities burning, people fighting. Death stalking the entire planet. War, the Horseman of the Apocalypse, smiled, as he looked down from the helecopter. His Doom Riders had much work to do.
I know many of you will scoff, and resist my efforts, no matter what I say, but I do not view any of you as my enemy. You simply are misguided. Your Holiness, this is what you strive for, isn't it? Everlasting peace, the promise of Heaven. This could happen.
Disheveled people, clad in rags, throw rocks and bricks at images of the American president. They want her OUT of Mexico. They hold their crosses, and pray, asking for the Anti-Christ to be thrown out of Mexico. But armored soldiers arrive in their churchs, and cut them down. The holy ground burns, as soldiers shake their heads at the dead and the dying.
If you agree to sign, your country will not be attacked, and only a small garrison to protect you will be sent. Even if you resist our forces, only your soldiers shall die... but that is still too high a cost for my tastes.
Asia, once so prosperous, is burning. Delphi is ashes. Bejing, ruins. The proud cities of the Orient? Dust. Amidst the flames, smoke and ash, a half man, half machine fires at the armored lion woman of the NAC. She ducks, with more speed then a human should have. She sprints towards the cyborg, slashing with brutal claws, but the metal man deflects the blows with sharp mechanical weapons folding out from his arms. His other arm shifts into a large gun... but then a voice echoes in his ear. Commander Steel, Commander Steel, we need your help. He fires a burst of shots at the woman, then flees, to aid his comrades.
Shona turns her head half away from the camera for a few seconds...
This offer will remain open, no matter what else happens but until all world leaders agree, I must continue the war, no matter what. And rest assured, brave people of the world, I shall do so, no matter how much it hurts us all,
before leaning forward, and looking deep into the camera lens. Her voice run with passion, and sincerity, even as the footage started to fade away from her...
Because one way or another, we must all be free. And we shall."
Prime Minister Cornerstone's cane splintered the glass of his television set. General Amleth, the old wolf of Denmark, and leader of the UDF was behind him The Prime Minister slowly turned back towards his old friend, his face downcast.
I trusted her, you know
I know, sir

2010.0 and a bit older laptop HP nx6125 doesn't seem to like the new mandriva
Posted 10 November 2009 - 09:45 AM
So, I have HP nx6125 laptop and cannot run the 2010.0 live cd (with KDE, haven't tried with gnome yet) on it - it takes over 25 minutes to boot and when it is ready for use, every mouse movement freezes it for about 5 minutes. Anyone else having similar problems?
Don't have another laptop or desktop to try the cd, so don't know if there is something wrong with it, md5sum is ok...

Your laptop was 'probably' sold with 512 MBs of RAM. You 'probably' have an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M Chipset that is sharing some of that RAM. I would suggest that you enter the BIOS setup and reduce the shared memory of your 200M Chipset. This would give you a bit more system RAM. If you still have problems with using Gnome, you may want to try using the LXDE desktop, it's in the repos.
Alternatively and if you can afford it, you could install some more RAM in your laptop and use anything you want. :)/>
Posted 10 November 2009 - 09:39 PM
If you are keen on running Mandriva on the laptop, switch to Windowmaker, Fluxbox, Icewm, LXDE, XFCE, Rox and other lightweight solutions that don't eat up 512 MB RAM.

LXDE needs some experience to be customized, while XFCE4 is very customizable right out of the box (factly: way more customizable than GNOME, where most customization is hidden under the annoying gconf-editor cryptic UI).
LXDE is evolving fast (mainly due to *buntu help), while XFCE4 is evolving very slowly (XFCE 4.6.3 was scheduled for July, but we are STILL at 4.6.1, doh!), but it's moving. XFCE 4.8 with new features (including a native virtual flesystem) is scheduled for mid-April, but I'd be suprised if it appears earlier than September, 2010.
It's really a pity that such a good DE has only half a dozen of active devs, but so far none of the major distros has decided to actively help its development.

There is 768MB memory in the laptop. I must say, that I miss the old KDE, 3.5.X -series, very much and have to start finding something as customizable... But you can't always win, sometimes you'll just have to take what life gives to you - old KDE is not coming back and so I must move forward too.

Summer is here and it is time to get away as a family. If you are like most families, you took a staycation s last year. This year, you may be more inclined to actually go somewhere special. A resort vacation will probably fit the bill. With that said, going to a resort for vacation does not mean throwing all rules on frugality out of the window. Instead, you should be even more frugal than normal in order to get the best vacation for the least money.
In part 1 covered the early stages of planning such as determining your budget, deciding where to go, and how to get there. I also suggested sharing the trip to to cut costs. You can read part 1 of this report here:
Now that your budget is determined and you have decided on transportation, you need to find deals for your resort vacation.
Contact a travel agent: Travel agents know the best deals for resort vacations. They are most skilled at finding package deals such as a cruise and all inclusive vacations where food is included and you won't have to worry about tips.
Rent a timeshare for your resort vacation. This is especially a good idea of you are traveling with a large group. Timeshares are typically larger suites and are either next door to or in the same hotel as regular hotel rooms. You will have more space, and possibly even better amenities by renting a timeshare from someone who is not able to use it this year.
Bring your own snacks. Snacks suck up a large portion of the food and entertainment budget. Vending machines, candy stands, and soft drinks are sold at prices at amount to highway robbery on resorts. It would behoove you to bring a bag of your favorite snacks to have when you or your kids get the munchies. If traveling with extra food is hard, find a supermarket near your resort to frequent and avoid the mini-bar.
Plan to eat only one restaurant meal a day. If your resort is not all inclusive, food will eat up a large portion of your budget. I like to take advantage of free hotel breakfast bars (fruit and pastries), and eat a large restaurant lunch around 1pm. Half of that meal is often saved for dinner, or dinner consists of snacks we brought with us.
Change locations mid trip: If you can find a great deal for 4 days and 3 nights, but the costs go up if you stay longer, then stay at a different location for the remainder of the trip. It can be a different location, or another location with a special deal. The best thing about this is that you can enjoy two completely different kinds of resorts on both trips. For example, you can four days at Disneyland, and three days at a beach resort, or on a cruise ship.

I really liked Sirmakesalot's Single Cylinder Motor V2. His original design is great. However, I wanted to replace the crankshaft bushing with a C clip, making it easier to assemble. That is the only difference on a otherwise wonderful thing!
I printed this with 1.82mm ABS plastic. I also used a Replicator 1 at firmware level 6.2 with acceleration turned on, using defaults. The print will be higher quality if produced at a slower rate, but accelerated mode produces as acceptable output.
Instructions to print this derivative:
1.) Print it!
2.) Assemble in the following order:
a.) There is a connecting shaft that connects the crank handle to the crank shaft. Press the shaft into the hole of the crank handle first. It is a really tight fit, so be patient!
b.) Put piston and piston rod together. Small hole end of piston rod goes into the piston. Use a piece of 3mm filament or, since I used 1.82mm filament to print it (I don't have any 3 mm hanging around), I cut a small piece of wire as a pin to connect the piston head and rod together. Next, slide the end of the piston rod over the end of the crank shaft (see image of step 2b). Slide piston into cylinder, and then press together the crank handle/connecting shaft assembly, the cylinder hole plate, and crank shaft.
c.) Finally, super glue the small cap onto the end of the crank shaft. Wait for it dry, and then push the C clip onto the crank shaft. See image for completed assembly.
Then crank away! Thanks for Sirmakesalot for making such a cool little motor. This is just my contribution - nothing special!

Sound — 10
I have been listening to this band for around a year or two now and I must say this album is quite a big step-up in many dimensions to their sophomore release "Vancouver". This band is a "post-hardcore". I am going to use that term lightly by the way, but La Dispute delivers a chaotic, frantic but yet subtle quiet at times sort of sound with some of the most emotional thought provoking lyrics I have ever heard delivered with a spoken word style vocals. The single thing that sets this band from other bands in the post-hardcore genre is the sound, its not the typical "Rise Records" scream some lines followed by a breakdown and insanely clean auto-tunned vocals. These guys sound similar to bands like Touche Amore, defeater, pianos become teeth and when I listen to their albums I always get this senses of a more experimental Fugazi.
Lyrics — 10
This band has some of the best lyrics you will ever find in the genre, and the most unique singer out there too. The way the singer Jordan Dreyer compiles these songs it is truly amazing it is like each song is a mini novel, you will go through a verse with the most amazing rhyme's then to a gentle story telling style with a quiet voice that is so urgent you are just waiting for him to explode. Some of these tracks that really stand out to me on this record lyrically are "A Departure", "St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church Blues" and "Edward Benz, 27 Times".
Overall Impression — 10
This album is truly amazing and for any fan of La Dispute or Touche Amore style of post-hardcore. This band is signed to Run For Cover Records which is one of the if not the best label out there right now in my opinion. I very rarely buy hard copy's of records anymore, maybe 6 a year and I will definitely be buying this and I suggest everyone to also, it might take a while for it to grow on you but it will deliver.

I've got a question to anyone who has shipped a knife off to Buck to get fixed?
How long did it take? Because I sent my Bantam off in like...............November, still haven't got it back.
Are you positive they received it? You have a signed "received" receipt?
The reason I ask is that in my experience, Buck is always very responsive and lightening fast. I purchase knives from the custom shop to honor Scouts earning their Eagle rank, and these custom Bucks get to me in about a week even though they note that it takes four to six weeks for custom orders.
As for sending a knife into Buck for repair, I have never needed to because their product is so good.
Hell, it probably got held up or lost in shipping or something dumb. I had a damned tracking # and insurance, no clue what I did with it. Never got a received receipt.
Speaking the devil, I just got it today. They also gave me a code for 25% an online purchase.
They were probably just mad at me for sending it back packed in a Leatherman box.
Consider using that 25% off coupon on a custom folding hunter. They are beautiful knives and at 25% off would be a bargain.
I was thinking something more along the lines of a fixed-blade woodcraft utility knife. Something like a Buck Special.

Crack Spread Plummets as Refineries Suffer Through Petroleum Supply Glut
Start the conversation
U.S. refineries are in the midst of a petroleum supply glut that's driving down profit margins for refining crude –the crack spread-and depressing prices by over 25% since last week.
U.S. supplies of oil and all petroleum-based fuels were at the highest levels in at least 20 years, jumping to 1.81 billion barrels for the week that ended May 14, knocking profit margins at refineries off a 15 month high.
The crack spread–the profit margin that an oil refinery can expect to make by "cracking" three barrels of oil into two barrels of gasoline and one barrel of heating oil-traded as low as $11.33 a barrel Friday on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). It touched $16.909 on May 13, the highest price since Feb. 12, 2009. The margin has dropped 62% from a record $30.479 reached on May 17, 2007.
What Insiders Don't Want You to Know About "Peak Oil"
Why did the oil industry impose a media blackout at a recent summit of industry giants in Mexico? The answer explains why thirsty nations are already pitted against each other in a cutthroat brawl for ever-dwindling oil supplies. Read this report to find out two ways to profit from the coming shortage of black gold.
Dodge a Possible Debt Debacle With These Two Stimulus-Plan Safety Plays
U.S. President Barack Obama's $862 billion stimulus plan, passed in great haste after his inauguration, has now revealed its true costs and benefits. It didn't revive the U.S. economy – that bottomed about May 2009, before a dollar of it had been spent. Further, combined with the mad wave of similar "stimulus" outlays across the planet, it has destabilized global bond markets – which may end up being very expensive indeed.

Money Morning Mailbag: The Euro and Other Hot Topics Spark Reader Debate
The Money Morning Facebook page is gaining more members daily and the Money Morning Mailbag feature is fueling a record number of reader comments and e-mails, giving us a better picture of how readers feel about recurring content like the euro, company profits, and emerging economies. Some articles like the evaluation of Australia's mining super tax have sparked lengthy reader conversation and argument we enjoy observing – and hope readers enjoy being a part of.
Here is another look at some recent articles generating the most attention and some additional links for further reading.
How to Profit from the Other Oil Story in the Gulf
While much of the attention remains fixed on BP (NYSE: BP), Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG), Halliburton Co. (NYSE: HAL), and on the attempt to plug a gusher in the Gulf, I have been watching another development down here in the Caribbean this week. It is going to impact crude oil and oil product movements throughout […]
Surge in Strategic Defaults Threatens Housing Market Recovery
A growing number of homeowners who owe more on their mortgages than their property is worth are opting for "strategic default," which means walking away from their homes, even though they can afford to make their monthly payment.
If the trend accelerates, it could put more empty houses on a market that's already overburdened with vacancies and snuff out any recovery in the moribund housing market.
Right now, more than 10% of borrowers are 25% or more underwater on 4.9 million mortgages. The total valuation could saddle banks with as much as $656 billion of bad loans, according to the latest report from Corelogic.
Germany's Short-Selling Ban Lacks the Political Muscle to Go Global
Hoping to win more public and political support for its involvement in the bailout of Greece, Germany has banned the naked short-selling of European sovereign debt instruments. However, other European governments are refusing to follow suit, highlighting the lack of political will that's needed to regulate the credit default swap (CDS) market.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the ban would remain in place until the EU comes up with a comprehensive plan for financial reform.
"This will all remain in place until other rules are established on the European level," she said.
Occidental Petroleum Leads Onshore Oil Hunt as Offshore Drilling Faces Tighter Regulation
Occidental Petroleum Corp. (NYSE: OXY) announced yesterday (Wednesday) it was doubling the capacity estimate for a California oil field discovery as U.S. offshore drilling restrictions fuel onshore interest.
The Los Angeles-based oil explorer has focused on onshore oil production for years and estimates its current discovery near Bakersfield, California holds up to 500 million barrels of oil, valuing it at more than $34 billion at current prices.
"There is a lot of new interest in onshore-production potential in the U.S. and Occidental is at the forefront of that," Brian Youngberg, an analyst with Edward Jones & Co., told Bloomberg.
Occidental, the fourth largest U.S. oil and gas producer, made the announcement at a meeting with investors and analysts Wednesday in New York. Chief Executive Officer Ray R. Irani detailed the company's long-term strategy for profitability.
What Does Germany's Credit-Default-Swap Ban Mean for You?
Germany did something on Tuesday that I've been hoping would happen for three years: It outlawed naked short-selling and speculation on European government bonds with naked credit default swaps.
The financial institutions that have been profiting from this type of speculation immediately went on the offensive.
German officials justified the surprise, unilateral move by financial regulator BaFin by stating that the "exceptional volatility" in government debt – if accompanied by massive short-selling and naked CDS trading – could result in excessive price movements that would actually "endanger the stability of the entire financial system."
To learn about the strategies you should employ because of Germany's move, please read on...

ALMS: Muscle Milk Team Partners with Aston Martin for 2011
Pickett Racing – popularly known as Muscle Milk Team CytoSport – is set to become an Aston Martin Racing Official LMP1 Team Partner for the 2011 American Le Mans Series season in which the team will compete as Muscle Milk Aston Martin Racing.
As part of the association and thanks to the grandfathering rules set by IMSA that are allowing the 2010 LMP1 cars to run in 2011, the team will be armed with an Aston Martin powered LMP1 car for their assault on the ALMS.
"This is a fantastic development for Greg, everyone associated with the new Muscle Milk Aston Martin Racing team – and especially for the Series," commented Scott Atherton, President and CEO of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón. "Watching the team's progress with the Porsche RS Spyder during the last two seasons and with them winning three times in 2010, it was one of the biggest stories in ALMS. Without question the Muscle Milk / Team Cytosport organization has developed into one of the Series' most accomplished and popular LMP teams. I am very much looking forward to a full season of that glorious, piercing sound coming from the Aston Martin V12 motor – it's going to be music to my ears."
The Lola Aston Martin LMP1 car won the LMS Championship in 2009 with Aston Martin Racing. In 2010, it competed in two races in the American Le Mans Series. At the season opening 12 Hours of Sebring it placed third overall and went on to start from pole on the streets of Long Beach and finish a very close second, only three tenths away from victory.
The partnership with Aston Martin Racing also provides the Muscle Milk squad with the support of an embedded factory engineer throughout the season and gives them access to any of Aston Martin Racing's drivers.
While the team will be announcing its complete driver lineup in the coming weeks, it can already confirm that both Greg Pickett and Klaus Graf will be back behind the wheel.
Furthermore, the Benicia, CA-based outfit will continue what has become a successful relationship with tire supplier Michelin, a partner that has been an integral part of the team's achievements since its return to the ALMS in 2009.
In its first full season in the series in 2010 the Muscle Milk team placed an impressive second in the LMP Championship on the strength of eight podiums in as many starts aboard the Porsche RS Spyder.
The team's accomplishments included a first win at the famed 12 hours of Sebring, a first overall victory at Lime Rock Park and a dominating performance at Mosport.
When taking into account the four races they contested in 2009, as well as the eight from 2010, the Muscle Milk team is a perfect 12 for 12 in podium finishes.
The team's success was even recognized during the annual season-ending Porsche Night of Champions celebration in Weissach, Germany. On an individual level, Klaus Graf was honored with the third place trophy in the prestigious Worldwide Porsche Cup.
For 2011, Muscle Milk Aston Martin Racing will also be counting on the same crew that brought them success in 2010, albeit with some changes.
Long time Pickett Racing team member Mike Halloran has moved into the Team Manager position with Jim Dunford being given the role of Technical Director. Additionally, last season's chief engineer Brandon Fry has taken a full-time position with the team, while 2010 Mechanic of the Year recipient Mike Seymour returns as Crew Chief.
Additionally, Muscle Milk Aston Martin Racing will be welcoming sponsor Biedermann Technologies. The leading medical device company has been a long time personal sponsor of Klaus Graf and has expanded its involvement to the team becoming an associate sponsor for the 2011 season.
Biedermann Technologies is a second-generation family business located in Germany. The company focuses on research and development for the global medical device industry, creating technology solutions to improve the quality of people's lives.
The 2011 American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón season kicks off with the 12 Hours of Sebring on March 19 and will be preceded with a two-day winter test at Sebring International Raceway February 9 and 10, 2011.
What they have to say:
Scott Atherton, President and CEO American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón
"I particularly want to thank Greg and Penny Pickett and Muscle Milk for their on-going commitment and investment in the American Le Mans Series. They dealt with a significant setback last season with the big accident at Mid Ohio. The team came back so strong from that – and to now have them returning with an Aston Martin LMP1 for 2011 – it's a true testament to Greg's passion for the ALMS. It's an honor to have teams and personalities like this in our paddock.
"The combination of Muscle Milk's Aston Martin LMP1 program being confirmed coupled with the ABC/ESPN TV announcements we made on Monday – this has to go down as the best start ever to a new year for the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón… I can't wait to get to the Winter Test in February and to get our 13th season underway."
Greg Pickett, driver and owner Muscle Milk Aston Martin Racing
"I'm pleased to announce our partnership with Aston Martin for the 2011 season. There were some interesting options for us in regards to the upcoming season but this was the best one out of all of the possibilities.
"Aston Martin offers us a great opportunity to continue to grow from a racing and performance perspective but they also provide us with a great platform to showcase our Muscle Milk brand in both the United States and Europe. We look forward to working with Aston Martin North America in order to maximize marketing opportunities throughout the year as well as giving them the on-track results they deserve.
"We had an unbelievable season last year and we can't wait to start building on that success with our new partner Aston Martin as well as our returning partner Michelin. The car went through a trouble free shakedown test last month at the test facility near the Aston Martin factory and we can't wait to get on track with it ourselves and for the season to get underway, even if there is still plenty of work to do before then.
"(About the evening at Porsche's Night of Champions) Just to be invited to the celebration was an honor. So to be recognized for our achievement honestly brought me to tears. It was a very proud moment for me. I must say that the highlight of the evening though was to meet Dr. Porsche. It was a once in a lifetime experience, something I will never forget. It brought back memories of when I was a kid and I first saw a Porsche Speedster 356 on the streets of California.
"The entire evening was a great way to close the chapter on our time with the RS Spyder."
Klaus Graf, driver Muscle Milk Aston Martin Racing
"It's great news to be returning to the ALMS full time in 2011. We had such great success last year in our first full year in sports car competition as a team and me personally as a driver. As an added bonus I finished second in the championship and placed third in the prestigious Worldwide Porsche Cup. I couldn't have asked for more.
"To be successful in racing though you need a great team and a good car. The performance of our Muscle Milk team is getting stronger all the time and with the decision made by Greg to form a new partnership with Aston Martin Racing (AMR) to race their LMP1 car, it seems that we should again have the right ingredients to continue our success.
"Aston Martin is such a prestigious and traditional name in auto racing that it will be an honor for me to drive one of their cars. I can only imagine how beautiful it will look like in our Muscle Milk design. I can't wait to get in the car and for the fans to again hear the fantastic sound of the V12 Aston Martin engine.
"I'm looking forward to making new friends at AMR and to start working closely together with everyone involved in the project. I can't wait to leave pit lane for the first time.
"I'm also proud that we were able to forge a new team partnership with Biedermann Technologies as an associate sponsor. The Biedermann group has been a long time personal partner of mine, and its addition as a team partner is a testimony to our great relationship.
"Finally, I want to thank everyone at Muscle Milk for their enthusiasm and Greg and Penny Pickett for their passion. I'm also very happy that Greg will be with me in the car again."
George Howard-Chappell, Aston Martin Racing Technical Director
"It's excellent news that Aston Martin Racing will once again have a partner team contesting the whole season in the American Le Mans Series. The ALMS is one of the most prestigious and respected sports car championships in the world and to have a team of such experience running our LMP1 car will give the team a great opportunity to challenge for the title."

IN a passage leading from that containing the larger pictures of the Tuscan school to the Tribune is a valuable collection of smaller paintings, many of which were executed by the same artists whose pictures we have already described.
The work of greatest importance is on the wall to the left on entering, and is one of Sandro Botticelli's most celebrated compositions. He has called the subject Calumny, as he took his idea from a description of a painting by the Greek Apelles.' Apelles had been slandered by a brother artist, jealous of his fame, and the false accuser had been listened to by his patron, King Ptolemy of Egypt ; although finally acquitted, Apelles could not forget the offence, and he took his revenge by painting Ptolemy as King Midas with ass's ears, seated in judgment, and with Suspicion and Ignorance on either side. Midas extended his hand to Calumny, who approached with a glowing countenance, bearing a torch in her left hand, whilst dragging a youth along with her right ; the youth raised his hand to ask aid from heaven. Envy decked Calumny with flowers as if to render her more attractive ; Repentance followed, represented as a female attired in black, who turned her head towards Truth, and wept with shame and remorse. Such was the subject, as treated by Apelles ; but Botticelli, although adhering to most of the figures, has not followed this description closely. The study of the antique is shown throughout, especially in the nude figure of Truth looking upwards, as if appealing to heaven. The male figure addressing the king was probably meant to signify Rage ; the lovely female who drags the youth on the ground by the hair of his head is Calumny, on whom Envy scatters flowers. The figures on either side of King Midas, which in the picture by Apelles represented Suspicion and Ignorance, may here be supposed to represent Cruelty and Mercy, alternately swaying the weak judgment of the Prince, who looks puzzled by opposite opinions. The grand old hag at the farther end, with hands crossed and with a wicked scowl as she looks back at Truth, probably represents Falsehood, the mother of Calumny. A beautiful architectural background unites the separate groups and figures; the pale blue sky and the sea-shore appear between the open arches ; rich friezes, reliefs, and statues adorn the palace ; the sculpture is taken from classical and sacred subjects ; a bright, pure atmosphere prevails throughout the picture, in which the outlines of every form appear sharply de-fined ; the brilliancy of the light, the high finish of every detail, and the accurate distances are especially to be remarked. The female heads are all from one model, even to their golden hair; but there is variety of expression to compensate for monotony of features, which are drawn with delicacy and precision.
On either side of this picture are most lovely miniatures by Fra Angelico, which once formed the predella to an altar-piece. The subjects are the Marriage and Death of the Virgin. In the first, the youths who had aspired to her hand break their rods, on beholding her union with Joseph. According to the legend, the high-priest, to whose charge she had been consigned, desired that each candidate should bring a rod to the Temple, and that he whose rod sent forth buds should be the chosen husband of Mary. Joseph's rod decided in his favour, and he is here represented bearing the blows dealt him by the disappointed suitors with wonderful equanimity. The female figures are drawn with great elegance, and have all the refinement characteristic of the painter. A dove rests on the branch Joseph holds in his hand.
In the companion picture the Virgin appears in sleep rather than death. The Saviour holds her new-born soul in his arms; the colour is clear and delicatea pure blue prevails through-out.
Near the window is another exquisite little picture, also by Fra Angelico. The infant St. John is brought to his father Zacharias, who is writing his name ; the maiden who stoops to present the inkstand to him, and the other with the child are very graceful ; the two heads behind are not less lovely. Elizabeth is supported by a female attendant. The scene is laid in a garden before a house, with orange trees on the wall ; grass and flowers are in the foreground.
A most beautiful picture by Cigoli represents St. Francis receiving the Stigmata. His sinking frame and the exhaustion expressed in every feature are given with marvellous truth ; the painting is highly finished, and the drawing and colouring are excellent.
A portrait by Andrea del Sarto (14881530) of himself when young, is a good picture ; below it is that of a child by Santo di Titi (15361603).
St. Augustine in his Study is an exquisitely-finished miniature, attributed to Filippo Lippi, but doubtful. The saint is seated in a niche writing ; the head is very fine, a green curtain is drawn aside, and papers are scattered on the ground.
Judith, with the head of Holofernes, by Cristofano Allori, is a repetition in miniature of his celebrated picture in the Pitti.
A portrait in fresco of Bianca Cappello, the second wife of the Grand Duke Francis I., is by Alessandro Allori (4535-1607). Alessandro's pictures are in general feeble and devoid of interest. This fresco was discovered in a villa not far from Careggi, beyond the Porta San Gallo. At the farther end of this room, facing the window, is another portrait of Bianca, by Agnolo Bronzino, at the back of which is an allegorythe dream of human life. Neither picture gives any idea of a beauty which was so celebrated among her contemporaries, and which has only been preserved in a cameo likeness in the room of gems.
The martyrdom of St. Maurice and the Theban Legion is by Jacopo Pontormo (1494-1557), the master of the Allori; he has introduced the portrait of his patron, Carlo Neroni, as receiving baptism from an angel, on a hill to the left of the picture.
The portrait of Eleanora of Toledo, the unhappy wife of the Grand Duke Cosimo I., is by Agnolo Bronzino ; Christ with the disciples at Emmaus, by Cristofano Allori ; and St. Francis, kneeling before the Cross, by Alessandro.
On the opposite wall near the window is a man in armour, by Agnolo Bronzino, and below this is the portrait of Pico della Mirandola, by an unknown artist. The interest of this picture only consists in its being the likeness of a remarkable man, the friend of Marsilio Ficino, who presided over Cosimo de' Medici's Platonic Academy. Pico was likewise a member of this society, but his commentaries on Plato's writings are said to be more obscure than the text. He died at the age of thirty-two, and was buried in the Church of St. Mark in Florence. He is here represented holding in his hand the effigy of Cosimo de' Medici.
The portraits of Marie de' Medici, the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke Cosimo I. and of her brother, Don Garzia, are by Agnolo Bronzino. Marie fell in love with a page at her father's Court, the son of Malatesta, Lord of Rimini, and Cosimo, to prevent the marriage, is supposed to have administered poison to his own daughter, and caused her early death. The merry-faced boy holding a goldfinch is very unlike the hero of another domestic tragedy ; but when a man, while hunting at Pisa, he accidentally killed his brother in a quarrel. On presenting himself after the deed to his father, Cosimo stabbed him to the heart, and then proclaimed to the world that both his sons had died of malaria fever.
A Virgin and St. John, by Lorenzo Credi. The aged Mother of the Saviour, attired in mourning, clasps her hands and looks down full of sorrow ; St. John's hands are joined in prayer, his eyes raised to heaven, and the smile of love and trust upon his lips is very beautiful ; he seems to utter the words, ` I know that my Redeemer liveth.' The extremities are large, but finely drawn. In the background, a castle at the foot of a hill, a garden, and the sea in the extreme distance, are all coloured with delicacy, and the effect of atmosphere is well given.
One of Cristofano Allori's most attractive pictures represents the Infant Jesus sleeping on the Cross. It is exquisitely finished in chiaroscuro and colour, though imperfect in drawing,' and the manner is that of Correggio, whose Magdalene the artist had studied ; on the parted lips there is a placid smile, which seems to tell of happy dreams, or, in accordance with the old superstition, the angels are whispering to the Child ; the little arms are folded under His cheek, and the peaceful landscape background harmonises well with the subject.
The copy beyond, by Allori, of Correggio's celebrated Magdalene reading, is painted with the utmost delicacy.
The small picture of the Birth of Christ and the Presentation in the Temple are by Fra Bartolommeo (1475-1517). These little pictures formed the doors of a triptych, which had a relief within by Donatello ; and Vasari remarks of them, ` It is impossible to paint better in oil.' In the first, Joseph is seated on the ground, contemplating the Child, whilst the Virgin kneels before the Infant Christ, who looks up lovingly in her face ; two angels converse behind. The background is a beautiful little landscape. In the Presentation, the head of the high-priest is very fine, and the Child most lovely ; the Virgin holds Him tenderly. Every detail is finished with care, whilst breadth in chiaroscuro and colour is carefully maintained. An Annunciation in chiaroscuro is on the back of the picture.'
Near this are two miniatures by Botticellithe Friends of Holofernes discovering his headless corpse in the tent ; and Judith followed by her nurse, who bears away the head. Both pictures are remarkable for grandeur of composition and finish. The first subject is treated with painful reality, though fine and rich in colour; the expression of horror at the discovery is given with the utmost truth. The second, though much repainted, is the more attractive of the two. A cool morning light is dawning over the distant landscape, where the hostile army is seen in confusion at the murder of their leader. Judith walks on calmly, and with a smile of triumph on her face tempered by serious thought. She carries a sword in one hand, an olive-branch in the other, and turns her head towards her attendant, who, cast in a coarser mould, is bending beneath her burden, and appears to move with hasty steps, as if in fear of pursuit. The head of Holofernes has the appearance of sleep still upon the dead features.
Hercules fighting with the Hydra, and the same hero throwing Antæus over the rock, are by Antonio Pollajolo. They are marvellous for the representation of strength, and a proof that grandeur of drawing and composition does not depend on size. The Medusa's head is supposed to be the celebrated picture by Leonardo da Vinci, of which Vasari writes :' He took a fancy to paint a picture of a Medusa with a head-gear of serpents, the strangest and most extravagant invention imaginable ; but as it was a work which required time, it remained incomplete.' The original picture, of which this appears to be a copy, was long in the palace of the Grand Duke Cosimo I. The exaggerated chiaroscuro makes it difficult to distinguish any of the details. The eyes are turned backwards, and a film of vapour from the lips implies that life is not yet extinct. The serpents are a tangled mass, which glide and twist around the head ; mice, toads, and other reptiles crawl about the dark cavern in which the Medusa is laid.
An Annunciation by Lorenzo Credi, with a predella in dead colour, represents the Creation of Eve, the Fall, and the Expulsion from Paradise ; a garden walk is seen here in long perspective. The Virgin is in a room with three open arches; she raises her head in glad surprise ; the angel's head is very fine and expressive, his hands are folded on his bosom. Both figures are, however, deficient in grace and elegance.
A lovely head of Santa Lucia is by Carlo Dolce (1616-1686), near which is a powerful portrait by Lorenzo Credi of his master, Andrea Verocchio. The small eyes are full of life and intelligence ; the firm-set mouth and the muscles around are indicated so as to suggest movement ; the spacious round forehead, and the quiet nostrilsall denote resolution and power. We have the portrait of a simple citizen, yet a great master. The hands rest easily on the ledge in front ; to the right, a landscape is seen through an open window.
Another portrait by Credi represents Messer Alessandro Brascesi, Secretary to the Florentine Republic in 1497: an interesting head. The picture approaches so nearly in style and colour the portrait by an unknown artist mentioned in the first corridor, that we can hardly hesitate to assign them to the same hand. The portrait of an old man painted on a tile has marvellous character and animation, and is carefully drawn. Some suppose it to be the work of Tommaso Guidi di Giovanni, commonly known as Masaccio (14011428); others attribute it to Botticelli.
The head of a youth by Andrea del Sarto is supposed to be a portrait of a friend of the artist, who was a novice or student with the monks of Vallombrosa.
At the end of this room farthest from the window, and near the entrance from the room of Tuscan pictures, is a bowl for carrying gifts, on which Jacopo Pontormo has painted the Birth of St. John the Baptist ; on this same wall is also a small sketch, by Fra Bartolommeo, of the Eternal descending on clouds, and borne up by Cherubim, whilst angels blow trumpets. The feeble light here makes it impossible to judge of the merits of pictures so far removed from the window, and few, if any, of them are of superlative merit. In one corner is the portrait of a lady taken in profile by Alessandro Allori. It is stiff and formal, but the pleasant smile on the face, the arched nose, full chin, and florid complexion, may have given the lady some claim to admiration in her day.
The head of a youth by Leonardo da Vinci (14521519) furnishes an admirable study for the portrait-painter. The eyes are liquid, the lips mobile ; the smooth forehead, the fleshiness of the cheeks and rounded chin, have all the qualities of youth, yet retain the indication of bone and muscle beneath. The perspective of the head is carefully observed, the hair finely treated, and gradually lost in the dark-green background. The young man wears a black cap and dress, with a white collar fitting closely round his neck. The shadows of the flesh are carefully graduated, and, though injured by the cleaner, the tints of nature are produced with wonderful truth and delicacy.
The Temple of Hercules by Franciabigio (1482-1525), the friend and assistant of Andrea del Sarto, formed one side of a bridal chest : the colouring is harmonious, the draperies very finely drawn, and the heads are varied in expression ; there is an agreeable landscape background. Cavalcaselle observes on this composition : ` Of Franciabigio's late periodbroad, brown, animated, and quickly done. Some figures taken apparently from Albert Dürer." Franciabigio's merits in his early days consisted, according to Vasari, in a careful attention to the rules of proportion ; he adopted the method followed by Fra Bartolommeo, but later in life he aimed at producing many pictures, rather than any one of high excellence.
A predella in three compartments by Raffaello Botticini or Vanni was painted for the altar-piece of the Deposition from the Cross in the room of Tuscan masters. The subjects of this picture areChrist Driving the Sellers from the Temple; His Entrance into Jerusalem; and the Woman of Samaria.
A lovely little Madonna and Child with St. John is an unfinished work by Fra Bartolommeo.
An Angel with Scarlet and White Wings, bending over a guitar, is by Rosso il Fiorentino (1494-1541). There are several other pictures here, but none of sufficient importance to deserve mentioning, although they bear the names of Vasari, Jacopo da Empoli, Federigo Zucchero, &c.

Budget shortfall may shut down two SC prisons
Thu, 03 Feb 2011 19:30:50 GMT —
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- A Senate leader says South Carolina might be forced to close two minimum-security prisons if state officials don't allow the prisons agency to run a deficit.
Corrections Committee Chairman Mike Fair of Greenville said Thursday he would prefer the Budget and Control Board allow the prisons to run a $7 million deficit.
The five-member board is led by Gov. Nikki Haley and votes next week whether to allow three Cabinet agencies to operate in the red through June 30.
Fair says the alternative he has discussed with senators and the agency's former leader is for the Corrections Department to release about 1,200 nonviolent prisoners up to six months early. That would require a massive reshuffling of prisoners and could take a year.

Hassan Abul Saud Ready with Surprises
Egyptian composer Hassan Abul Saud flew to Paris a few days ago to record music for new songs, including Hani Shaker's Daa'wet Farah (Invitation for Joy) and Asalah's Absat Huqouqi (the simplest of my rights).
In response to criticism over recording in Paris, Abul Saud said the city "has the most spacious studios in the world, large enough to host 90 musicians at one time. Besides, they contain state-of-the-art techniques that are not offered in Egypt."
He told the Egyptian daily Al Masaa that he has recently finished with a number of other songs to be performed by prominent Arab singers. These include Shaker's Ana Mehtaglak (I need you) written by Bahaa Eddin Mohammed, Bahaa Sultan's Lao Tihebbini Olli (If you love me, say it), and Alaa Abdel Khaleq's Enti Mate'rafish Al Hobb (you don't know what love is) written by Mohammed Mustafa and Min Bihebb Al Tani Aktar? (Who loves the other more?), written by Ahmed Shita.
Abul Saud has also finished composing Bahaa Eddin Mohammed's lyrics Matigrahnish (don't hurt me) which will be performed by a newcomer, Shireen, who Saud introduces as "a surprise who will send us back to the time of Faiza Ahmed and Nagat, by her 'warm' voice."
The musician has written music for TV series songs such as Asfour Taht Al Matar (sparrow in the rain) written by Abdel Rahman Al Abnoudi and will be performed by Mohammed Al Hilo, and Al Khaizaran written by Ahmed Shafiq Kamel, to be performed by Tunisian singer Lutfi Bushnaq – Albawaba.com
