I honestly love the BATMAN he is so cool he is the base of superheros the big B as Batman said he has no real power but he is AWESOME he is the epitome of superheros. I also like the green lantern but the way he is portrayed in the movie did not catch my eye. As I am a girl I do LOVE girl heroines like Wonder woman, Batgirl, Oracle(original batgirl), Hawgirl, Batwoman and Black canary.
By the way VAMPS RULE
batman beat the whole damn J.L.A. SINGLE HANDED and killed darkside does more need to be said to you haters.
Batmans gots some Swag
All the rest don't matter
Batman is the only real hero due to the fact that he is human an doesn't have God-like powers given to him like superman and flash. He trained himself to be the dark knight and that makes him the best. If you take away superman a powers, green lanterns ring, flashes speed, etc. the woul be normal and lame. However you can not take any thing away from the bat (weapons still don't make difference) so he is truly the greatest hero of all time.

how is superman no1 and martian manhunter numer eight when j'onn has more powers and is virtually unkillable i mean look at this
Genetically Modified Martian Physiology: Martian Manhunter has been described as "the Swiss Army knife of superheroes." He possesses many of the powers of Superman. Note: Many, if not all of the Martian Manhunter's powers and abilities are common to members of his race, even if demonstration of such abilities has not been explicitly shown in a canonical resource. His powers come from his alien physiology. Born of Mars over a millennium ago, from a super advanced civilization, boasting advanced technology and genetic modifications over its people, the Martian Manhunter would appear to be a genetically modified being with incredible powers stemming from the changes made in his body.[citation needed] Whether this is their natural state or an advanced state given to only a few individuals is unknown. The Martian's physiology would seem to be composed of a complex molecular chain that resembles polymer bonds but with the ability to be altered at will. The Martian Manhunter can change his mass, color, relative shape, imitating even clothing if desired. The bio-polymer is extremely flexible, durable, incredibly strong for a biological material and apparently self-sustaining[15]. It is unknown if the Martian Manhunter actually needs to eat or not but he has been seen consuming food, particularly "Chocos," a brand of cookies.
Shape-Shifting, Malleability, Plasticity, Elongation: The most incredible of the powers of the Manhunter is the ability to shape-shift. He is able to literally control the molecular structure of his body's bio-polymer and make it resemble anything he wants. He can form clothing and weapons with non-moving or non-functioning parts. There does not seem to be any limit to the number of people the Manhunter can imitate and has stood in as a double for many famous people. His ability to imitate people and their mannerisms has stood him in good stead for his disguises. He has recently been seen to shape-shift into the size and shape of a common house fly and to enormous sizes comparable to skyscrapers. He is also able to change colors.
Invisibility: The Manhunter can cause the bio-polymers in his body to lose their ability to reflect light, rendering the Manhunter invisible to normal light and human sight. With more increased concentration, he can render himself completely invisible along the electromagnetic spectrum, including the infrared and the ultraviolet ranges of the spectrum. This invisibility does not affect every other sense and he could still be detected by touch.
Phasing: The Manhunter can phase through solid matter. No explanation of this power has been given, but it might possibly be an aspect of his psionic powers, perhaps shifting his mass into another dimension or out of vibrational phase with other objects in this dimension.
Superhuman Durability: The bio-morphic structure of the Manhunter's body allows him to absorb almost all kinetic energies such as high caliber-bullets, shrapnel, or flying debris easily. He can harden his bio-polymers by rebinding them and increase his durability to the point where he is nearly on par with Superman. Along with his nigh-invulnerability, his shape shifting makes him even more difficult to harm. Hazardous environments practically do not affect the Martian Manhunter. In addition, Martian Manhunter's immune system protects him from all toxins and diseases (meaning he is unable to succumb to any earthly disease or infection).
Superhuman Strength: The Martian Manhunter is one of the strongest beings on the planet. The Martian's superhuman strength comes from his plasmorphic structure formed from immensely long and complex molecular chains,[citation needed] augmented with his psionic and telekinetic abilities allowing him to lift incredible weights without these weights crumbling under the stress. The Martian has been seen lifting tankers out of the ocean for vast distances, stalemating powerhouses like Superman, and he has even helped tow the moon and objects as large as the Earth itself together with Superman. J'onn's strength is great enough to the point that he has drawn blood from beings as durable as Kryptonians such as Supergirl by his punches alone. By modifying the density of these bio-polymers, the Manhunter can make himself stronger by forcing the polymers into tighter bundles. While at a rest state the limits of his strength are unknown, the Manhunter can lift 100 tons without much effort. He is nearly as powerful as the likes of Superman when concentrating his bio-polymers to their full capabilities[16].
Superhuman Endurance: J'onn's endurance is just as formidable as his strength or invulnerability. He can operate under extreme conditions for an indeterminate period of time without showing signs of fatigue. The exact range of this power is unknown.
Regeneration: The Martian Manhunter has shown amazing regenerative abilities. His regenerative abilities are so great that he has been able to completely regenerate from nothing but his severed hand[17], regenerate in moments from nothing than a puddle of green liquid and other moments, having his head cut off, and he has shown total control over his molecular structure.
Flight: The Martian Manhunter flies by manipulation of gravitons (a subatomic particle associated with the force of gravity), manipulation of magnetic fields and control of his absolute molecular movement (a telekinetic effect).[citation needed] These combine to give him the ability to fly great distances with little fatigue and at great speed. He has been seen to fly at Mach 10 speeds (7690 mph) in the Earth's atmosphere. Speeds faster than this cause great environmental damage and are avoided unless absolutely necessary. His bio-polymorphic skin and overall toughness make these speeds bearable and cause him no injury. The Manhunter has also been seen flying in space with no difficulty, and in space he can fly at speeds that has allowed him to keep up with the likes of even Superman. J'onn can therefore fly at speeds exceeding the escape velocity of earth (7 miles per second) under his own power.
Superhuman Speed: Either through flight or natural movement, the Martian Manhunter can maintain speed and reflexes far in excess to that of even most superhumans. Like the power of flight, this is accomplished by manipulating the magnetic fields of energy surrounding his body, as well as ambient gravitational particles.[citation needed] Traditionally, J'onn only uses his superhuman speed while flying. He has admitted that he is not as fast as Superman but this can be argued as he has shown speed feats that is nearly at Superman's level, such as the speed necessary to fly around the earth destroying multiple targets around the planet in seconds and managed to also save Kyle Rayner in the end. He can process thoughts, move, and react at super speed. J'onn has also demonstarted that he is fast enough to comfortably catch bullets and other propelled projectiles.
Extrasensory Input: J'onn possesses nine different senses. One of these senses could account for instances of the Manhunter's perceived precognitive abilities (see Trivia).
Super Hearing
Super Breath: The inner valves and chambers inside the Martian Manhunter's air canals are very dense and greatly enhanced, allowing him to, much like Superman, create strong hurricane force winds just by exhaling sending pressured air out.
Martian Vision: The actual nature of this power seems to vary depending on the reports. It has been seen to be a bolt of force, directed by the Manhunter's eyes causing considerable damage, he has shown that he could easily cause damage greater than 1000 lbs of TNT. It has also been seen to cause flammable objects to catch fire. The range of this power is also unknown but has been seen to be effective at ranges of 1000 feet and more. He can increase the power of his Martian Vision to levels that would even injure the likes of Superman. It also grants J'onn the ability to see into other spectrums of light. J'onn can use his Martian vision to see the in
It is always good to have the big 3 in the list first, being - Supes, Bats and Wondy, the Flash, GL. Top 5 list.
Flash number if he speeds up fast enough he can rip the fabric of space and time there is a cosmic speed limit and he surpasses it but doesn't do it cause well he's a hero
I think batman is only with is technology,while green lantern is better than superman.here is my list:
1.green lantern 2.superman.,3.batman 4.wonderwoman5.flash 6.aquaman
greeeeeeeen lantern the ring choses you so red sun cant absorb the power and green lantern practically beats everyone so he is the only one with a chance of beating every dc villan
1 batman 2 superman 3 wonder woman 4 flash 5 gl 6 all 4 robins i count them all as one part for number 6
also batman could easily end supermans life he always has the kryptonite ring no matter what even when he doesn't fight superman he carries it any way
1flash 2superman 3batman 4greenlantern5wonderwomen6pick who you want
3.wonder woman
4.dick Grayson
5.flash(Wally West)
6.Red Robin
7.Jason Todd
8.Hal jordan
9.martian manhunter
10.green arrow
Batman is awesome, and i just dont like green lantern Hal Jordan or any green lanterns because he punched batman in the face and got away with it. Batman can beat superman by the way. All he needs is time, because in tower of babel his contingency plans were used to briefly incapacitate the justice league. By the way i haaaaaaaaaaate Green lantern
I really think red robin and nightwing should be in the list and of course batman has to be number 1
I think batman is the best i mean he has no powers and manages to be where he is now hes awesome! at least more than half would agree with me form what i have read
1 Batman 2 Superman 3 Flash 4 Nightwing 5 Hawkman 6 Atom 7 Aquaman 8 Sinestro 9 Black Canary 10 Green Arrow
I have an insane question for all viewers......If there was a intergalatic war with Marvel v.s Dc Comics v.s Capcom, who would be the dominent or last man/women standing.....thank about that, it'll be the best question you've ever thought about
I would give the chart a perfect 10 if hawkgirl^s name was in it instead of hawkman^s.
Personally, when I'm thinking about who the best superhero/heroine is, I think about how they would be if all bets were off, and it was a no-holds-barred fight. In that case, Superman would trump all others, simply due to the fact he could kill anyone from five miles away with his eyes, and if he got close, he could punch them into space.
well,superman can easily finish batman's carrier....but batman is a normal guy but because he is rich and his father with lucious fox made superb gadgets/weapons for the army of the next generations but before he could launch it he died and when bruce wayne saw that weapons or gadgets..... he always wanted to take revenge of his parents death he thought to take the revenge in his different form he became 'the batman'.....i have given extra information but anyways batman is the best
My opinion is that batman should be #1. Simple, he only have human power, he made himself a superhero just by training and as entrepreneur, with his brilliant mind he invented all his weapons. Batman has no stupid weakness like superman to (kryptonite)or Green Lantern to the (yellow color or the yellow ring). Moreover Batman beside spending his time saving lives, he adopted Robin (Batman do not claim Robin on his taxes), also he provided food and shelter to a poor elderly man...lol and Batman unlike other heroes, he drink alcohol, enjoy party and like women no only one but many.
i think martian manhunter should be number one.
I think some not as well known characters could make the list eventually if they were updated. Characters like "The Creeper", "Challengers of The Unknown" "Thunder Agents"
"Adam Strange" Admittedly some are groups but I also think these characters should be looked at for potential movies. I wonder how many people remember "Sea devils" and "Doom Patrol"
Green lantern is my husband
Cool list. Mine is
10. Batgirl
7.Martian Manhunter
4.Green Lantern
2.Green Arrow
Seriously, Batman has no "super powers". One well placed bullet or someone with extraordinary strength, would end Batmans career rather abrubtly. Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), and Superman would probably tie for first place.
3.green lantern
5.wonder woman
what the hell does aquaman do again??? talk to fish?
Hawkman, seriously?
batman is wayyyy better than superman
I do some free stuff for drawing here on hubpages and my blog, but plans are afoot to do some paid ebooks this year, it's just a matter of prioritizing my work, because I've got a graphic novel coming out soon and I need to really focus and finish that of
green lantern in my book tops the list. just turn supes suit into kryptonite.also the makers of the superman movies need to remember that he has more than one villan.
I agree with Glimmer, that and despite being a wheelchair Oracle really makes the Batman clan (since he seems to collect sidekicks these days) even work. That and she was the original Batgirl.. Speaking of which the new Batgirl would have to be a close #10, but she might not quite make the cut.
As a female I have to give it up to Wonder Women! She made Female superheroes come into a league of their own!
this is my list
4.Wonder Woman
1. is from Brightest day to Darkest night Comes GREEN LANTERNS LIGHT! the GREEN LANTERN
i think superman is awsome in first but green lantern shoud be third
this is my list
1.green lantern
I would have to agree with argon here...and also, when you're talking about Robin, the best would have to be Dick Grayson..so, in that case I would put Nightwing in the 10th spot (although, now Grayson is Batman...).
Good Hub
Switch Batman with Superman, and switch Flash with Aquaman, and I think the list would be close to perfect.
Decent....Flash should have been higher.

You are here:
If you are overweight or obese and pregnant, there are lots of reasons why it's important to manage your weight.
Research has shown that women who have a high BMI at the start
of their pregnancy have an increased risk of complications during
pregnancy, labour and birth.
Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is a calculation that works out
whether you are a healthy weight for your height. For
pregnant women your BMI calculation will be based on your weight at
your 12 week scan. It will be classed according to the
following groups:
18.5 or less = underweight
Between 18.5 and 24.9 = healthy
Between 25 and 29.9 = overweight
Over 30 = obese
If your BMI is 35 or above at booking, you will be offered an
appointment with the specialist midwife in our lifestyle
clinic. Your healthcare professionals will not judge you for
being overweight and will give you all the support that you
need. The appointment will be about the extra care and
surveillance you will be offered in this pregnancy.
You will also be referred to a consultant obstetrician, as well
as receiving continuing support from the lifestyle midwife to try
to help minimize the risk of complications in this and any future
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists offer
advice and information here
on the subject of why your weight matters during pregnancy and
after birth.
A. Dieting or losing weight during pregnancy is not recommended
as it may harm your unborn baby. But if you are overweight or obese
and pregnant, making healthy changes to your diet can help you not
to gain any weight, and you might even lose a small amount. The
Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists says that this is
not harmful.
The most important thing is to keep your weight gain to a safe
and healthy level for you and your baby. Talk to your doctor or
midwife if you're worried about how much weight you should be
putting on and they will be able to advise and reassure you about
what is right for you. If your BMI was over 35 at
booking, you will receive extra care and support during
your pregnancy through our Pregnancy
Lifestyle clinic.
A. Folic acid is important for pregnancy as it can help
prevent birth defects known as neural tube defects, which can cause
conditions such as spina bifida. The following are reasons
you may need to take the larger dose (5 milligrams) of
folic acid:
Please contact your GP as this dose is only available on
Please ensure that you wear a face covering if you are visiting
our hospital.

or by post, and haven't received them yet, please contact the

I'm back on track with this week's what to wear! This week, in anticipation for the holidays, we are showing what to wear on a road trip. Andy is actually making the drive from Seattle to Minneapolis with Piko, and I'm super jealous I can't go with him. We are road trip warriors, and with the addition of Piko, we're now a road trippin' team. But alas, I have to work through the 22nd, so I have to fly to be home in time. But actually, what I wear for a road trip is pretty much the same thing I wear to fly. (It's also not too different from what I wore on laundry day. It's kind of a go-to combo for me.)
For me, leggings are a must. They're the epitome of comfort. Then I like to wear some sort of t-shirt dress. Something that is essentially a t-shirt, but just a little longer and looks a little less like I'm in my PJs. This sweater is a staple in my wardrobe. I call it my "blanket sweater," since that's essentially what it is -definitely one of my best buys of the last few years! Then, I add a scarf. A scarf is necessary, since it can double for so many things. Besides looking stylish and keeping your neck warm, you can ball it up to use as a pillow, tie it around your eyes to block out light for an overnight flight, or drape it over your legs if you're cold and there's no blankets. For car trips, I usually wear slippers or easy flats in the car that I can slip on and off for gas stops and bathroom breaks. When I fly, I wear my bulkiest footwear to save suitcase room; usually a pair of boots.
Other road trip must haves for me: lots of good podcasts, a reusable coffee cup for Starbucks stops, a blanket for napping, and my holga for fun film pictures along the way.

'Clown Costumes Encapsulated Absurdity of Durban II'
Unlike 2001 conference, the pro-Israel response to the Geneva follow-up was a well-orchestrated affair.
They say they weren't involved in disrupting the peace at Durban II, but the two coaches of the Geneva response team for the student organization StandWithUs don't sound too upset in describing pro-Israel heckling at the event.
The founder of the Israel advocacy student group, Roz Rothstein from Los Angeles, even brought back a small but relevant memento from the Swiss city: a red clown nose.
The nose, she says, has come to signify resistance to the highly controversial UN meeting on human rights, which ended in Geneva last week with organizers singling Israel out as a racist state.
Sitting at a Jerusalem cafe, Rothstein explains that the nose rose to fame after three French Jewish students, dressed as clowns, heckled Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he spoke at the event.
The clown image caught on because it illustrated the "absurdity" of having human-rights violators such as Libya, Cuba and Iran heading a human-rights event, says Rothstein. "The Jewish protests at Durban II showed we won't remain silent and signified the attitude of 'never again,'" she says.
StandWithUs, which trains students from campuses around the world in Israel advocacy, sent 15 delegates to the conference. A total of 150 Jewish student onlookers attended.
Those students had prepared for months to launch a vocal, even vociferous, PR onslaught to delegitimize the event. They feared the meeting would be a repeat of the original 2001 Durban conference, which Arab states and pro-Palestinian groups hijacked to call Israel an apartheid state.
Unlike the 2001 event, the response to the Geneva follow-up was a well-orchestrated affair. In preparing for the Durban II conference, StandWithUs focused on peoples whose human rights grievances were being "sidelined" because of "the Israel obsession," as Rothstein puts it.
Michael Dickson, the U.K.-born director of StandWithUs' Israel office, said the organization focused on the plight of people from Darfur, where Sudan is accused of perpetrating genocide.
This was the reason, he said, for the slogan they used at the event, "The UN remains silent." Rothstein, 58, brought a bag full of posters bearing the slogan to Geneva.
Some protesters courted news agencies' cameras by duct-taping their mouths while holding the posters. And to counter the apartheid analogy in the media, Dickson and Rothstein relied on people like Lior Meir from Hebrew University, who grew up in apartheid South Africa before moving to Israel.
One of the group's biggest moments of victory at Durban was when most European delegates walked out on Ahmadinejad's tirade against Israel.
Rothstein - who cheered on the abandoning delegates - thinks that by attending and then leaving, Europe sent out a stronger message against the conference than it would have by boycotting the meeting in the first place. "It shows a degree of open-mindedness, while at the same time drawing a distinct line in the sand," she says.
While in Geneva, StandWithUs delegates from Israel, Italy, Finland, Luxembourg and Norway prepared a scathing, English-language protest letter for MK Jamal Zahalka of the Balad party, the "National Democratic Alliance," who participated in anti-Israel protests at Durban II.
The group protested what they called Zahalka's "use of democratic institutions to undermine the very democracy which he is supposed to represent," and circulated the letter to supporters around the world via social networks.
MK Zahalka could not be reached for comment.

A Bonus For Honus
By: Leon Castner and Brian Kathenes
Baseball cards. You can collect 'em… You can swap 'em… And you can sell'em for BIG bucks — if you know what to look for.
The "mother" of all baseball cards is the Honus Wagner T-206 tobacco card. One was sold
on eBay recently for $1.1 million! Tobacco card? That's right tobacco!
The first baseball cards didn't come with chewing gum for the kiddies, folks. They were
used to promote tobacco products to the big boys.
In the late 1800's, "trade cards" were used by merchants and salesmen to advertise their
wares and their store addresses. The cards were attractive and eye-catching…not to mention free…so they immediately became collectibles.
And speaking of phenomenon, let's get back to our man behind the plate… John Peter
"Honus" Wagner — known as "The Flying Dutchman" — is considered one of the greatest
shortstops in history. He was one of the first five players to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Honus is a baseball great, but it's not his maneuvering between the bags that make the Wagner T206 tobacco card the Mona Lisa of baseball cards. It's their rarity.
Why so rare??
It seems Honus objected to the use of his name to promote smoking, without being properly compensated. He demanded that the manufacturer — the American Tobacco Company — stop production.
They're as rare as a triple play! Only 50 or 60 Honus Wagner cards were ever distributed.
Peck and Snyder
You've heard of Sears and Roebuck, Abraham and Strauss, Brian and Leon…but do you
know Peck and Snyder? P&S manufactured baseball equipment after the Civil War and advertised their products with trade cards featuring prominent baseball players of the day. P&S's cards were different from today's trading cards that carry no advertising, just pix and stats.

I am a geek. I love to crochet. Follow my journey as I attempt to combine the two!

Just Keep Swimming? Just Keep Swimming!
I must offer my most sincere apologies for my extended absence. It was never my intention to let posting lapse this long, but I'm sure I'm not the first blogger that this has happened to.
I have been quite busy with not only crocheting, but getting kids ready for school, keeping my head up at work, and finding time to keep my yarn moving on my hooks, all on top of increasing anxiety/depression issues. I don't know what the deal is but sometimes it feels as if my golden chaos has barbs!
I have been spending a lot of time testing patterns for KT and the Squid and Cuddle Me Beanies (both can be found on Facebook). I love testing patterns, but as I've been testing, I find that keeping to the required timeline has become increasingly difficult. Therefore, I'm pledging to be more selective in the items/timelines I test. Testing patterns is a truly honorable thing to do and I find great joy in it, however living up to your end of the test is of utmost importance.
Other than that, I've finished a family of Seahawks football hats (pictures available on my Facebook page, hopefully), a few other hats as test patterns, including a skirt, and a few bags and owl cuddlies. I hope to post pictures in the near future.
Being that I'm backing off of testing patterns, I hope to dedicate more time to quality blog posts. Some ideas flowing through my brain are:
· Posts detailing my personal opinion of very inspirational blogs or great access to patterns, some pay for and some for free
· Posts of techniques that I find useful…
· My experience with expanding my color acceptance… not everything has to be paired with black – I know shocking huh? J
· Links to posts/patterns that I've used the in past and my personal opinions on their structure and finished product.
I'm in the process of becoming more organized (seriously, I have a pile of notebooks on my couch as I speak!) and am seriously trying to figure out this blogging thing!
I'd love to hear any comments or recommendations you have including your suggestions for links, designers to check out or ideas for blog posts!

I just found your blog through the Crochet Lounge on FB. I admit that the Supernatural Moonlight Infinity Scarf is what brought me here. However, I'm glad it did. I completely understand about being overwhelmed with things on your plate. In addition to crocheting, I also have a personal blog that I use to post book related things. It can get very overwhelming when you had a deadline to meet. It sort of takes the joy of doing the things you love.ReplyDelete
I have no advice to offer on getting organized but taking back control is the first step... and that's what you're doing by scaling back on pattern testing.

The oeuvre of the Chinese artist Zhou Tiehai focuses on the clash of the Chinese and Western worlds. A large proportion of his works show fragments of plants, figures, fish or rocks. These are typical elements of traditional Chinese paintings, but Zhou Tiehai uses an airbrush to depict them in a completely unconventional way. This technique does not allow the artist to create precise lines but enables him to achieve almost imperceptible colour passages. The non-traditional means of artistic realisation is another crucial point of Zhou Tiehai's art. Much like the proponents of Western Concept Art, he questions the role of the artist as the individual who must personally create an artwork: most of his airbrush paintings are produced by assistants in his workshop.
Zhou Tiehai was born 1966 in Shanghai. His work has been exhibited at renowned international institutions such as The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, the Kunsthal Rotterdam, the Shanghai Art Museum, the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin and the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo. Additionally, he participated in the 48th Venice Biennale, the 5th Shanghai Biennale and the 4th Gwangju Biennale (South Korea). From 2010-2013 Zhou Tiehai was the director of the Minsheng Art Museum in Shanghai, a leading private art museum in China. Zhou Tiehai lives and works in Shanghai.

This pattern was originally published in 1831, the book itself was reprinted up until 1865. This reticule looks very period due to its asymmetrical nature. Today we tend to shy away from anything asymmetrical, especially in purses. This would be a great reenactment piece as it appeals to the mindset of the time period and not our mindset today.The transcendentalist mindset of the period focused on the individual person and individuality. Individuality was expressed through a limited spectrum (dresses, hair, sleeves, jewelry, home furnishings) due to the heightened discrimination at the time. Remember, anyone wealthier than you, didn't need much of a reason to get you put into a mental hospital and it didn't take much for you to become estranged from all of your neighbors and associates (perhaps why they had such a strong etiquette system.) This reticule is an example of conforming while nonconforming.
This is a simple project that you could practice your hand sewing on or your embroidery skills.
From the American Girl's Book (1831) by Miss Eliza Leslie
"Cut your silk into three pieces of equal size. Each must be about a quarter of a yard in depth, and half a quarter wide. The sided of each must be straight till within a finger's length of the bottom; they must then be sloped off to a point. Sew those three pieces of silk together, (inserting a covered cord between the seams,) and make them all meet in a point at the bottom. Put a tassel or bow at each corner, and one at the bottom. Hem down the top, and run a ribbon into it."
To make this really easy, I diagrammed out a pattern. You have to cut out three, I recommend lining it with muslin or cotton if you are going to use silk. The top dotted line is where you will fold to make the casing for the drawstring. The bottom dotting line will fold naturally when it is sewn together.
I drew out what the bottom of the bag should look like after it's sewn, the picture in the book did not show the bottom well.
There are lots of ways to embroider your reticule. I recommend initials, just in case you lose it, it will be a little easier to get it back. I am embroidering this one with beads but normal thread embroidery would look great too.

When the Digital Britain White Paper was published on 16th June, I raised some concerns about the White Paper's apparent endorsement of "The Geek Squad" and "The Tech Guys".
I have now received from Lord Stephen Carter a response to the points I made in the debate. Unfortunately, the response slightly misses the point (by about a mile, actually). It sets out the measures being introduced to improve the enforcement of consumer law applying to on-line transactions. This is all good stuff – a single online complaints register for people encountering an online scam; investment in new equipment, training and staff for on-line consumer law enforcers; and a review of enforcement powers in an on-line world. However, this is not really going to provide much reassurance for people nervous about letting an unknown person into their homes to fidedle around with their computer systems.
I have now written back to Stephen Carter – although my letter may well have arrived after his last day in office (he is one of the GOAT ministers who is resigning this month). My letter says:
"Thank you for your letter of 8th July. I am grateful for the clarification you have provided on the points I raised following your statement to the House on 16th June.
However, I would like to come back on the second issue I raised. This related to the need to ensure that consumers have adequate protection when dealing with suppliers, such as "The Geek Squad" or "The Tech Guys" – both specifically mentioned in "Digital Britain".
In your response, you mention the measures being taken to improve enforcement of consumer law applying to on-line transactions. Whilst these measures are valuable, they rather miss the point of my concerns. Both "The Geek Squad" and "The Tech Guys" involve the consumer permitting individuals to access their computer equipment (and usually their homes). Such individuals are being given a position of trust by the consumers concerned, who will assume that they are (1) honest and (2) know what they are doing. As far as these points are concerned, it is extremely unlikely that the consumer will have the technical knowledge to understand (or indeed to be able to detect) what has been done to their equipment – that is after all why they have asked "The Geek Squad" or "The Tech Guys" to visit or to look at their equipment.
If you engage a security guard from a security firm, the individuals engaged are required to be registered with the Security Industry Authority and will have been vetted for criminality and there are requirements relating to their training. Yet the activities of most security personnel will usually be visible and will normally be comprehensible to the person engaging them. Should there not be some similar system of regulation and customer assurance of the quality of work in place for those individuals engaged by "The Geek Squad", "The Tech Guys" or any other similar service? If no such system is in place, most customers – who are likely not to be skilled technically – will be vulnerable to data being stolen from them, to malicious code being placed on their machines or to more traditional forms of criminality.
I would welcome your comments on what can be done to address this. I am copying this letter to Lord West of Spithead (in view of the information security implications) and to Alun Michael MP (in view of his role chairing the Tripartite Internet Crime and Security Initiative)."
I will be interested to see if the civil servants get the point this time.

Woke up this morning and the first thing I heard was that Patrick Swayze had died... such sad news.
I remember seeing him on It Takes Two, doing a hysterical impression of Bruno Tonioli, and of course Dirty Dancing is a classic film.
So sad right now..

Marc Topkin of the St. Pete Times recently wrote a piece entitled "Maddon shortens his leash" discussing how Joe Maddon would hold players more accountable in 2008.
Accountability is already manager Joe Maddon's favorite word of the spring…And it's going to become more prevalent, and more apparent, Maddon says, in how he manages the team in his third season.
"We're at the point now where we think we've moved this along a bit, so you're not going to give somebody as much rope. You still want to develop, and you still want to see people. But they may not get the same opportunities to fail as much as we've given people to fail in the past."
That sounded nice. But it also sounded familiar. Where had we heard this before? Hmmm?
Oh yeah! Maddon said the same thing in Spring Training last year...
When Maddon admitted the other day that some of his players were unprofessional at times last year, it rekindled concerns that he might be too much of a players' buddy to be a taskmaster.
"I probably made a mistake in regard to giving the younger players too much leeway early on. When you are dealing with young players, it is probably wiser to use a tighter rein with them. I want to treat them like men, but I want to make sure they're ready for it."
So what happens this year if the unprofessionalism continues? What happens if players continue ask questions that were covered in a meeting a few minutes earlier?
"That won't happen this year," Maddon said. "If it does, I'll deal with it."
Maddon in February, 2007: "it is probably wiser to use a tighter rein"
Maddon in February, 2008: "so you're not going to give somebody as much rope"
So is Maddon saying he did not "tighten the reins" in 2007? Or did he not tighten them enough?
If he keeps this up, there won't be much rope left in 2009.

Can I Back Up iPhone 5 WeChat with One Contact Selectively?
"My Gramp passed away a couple of weeks ago, which is such a sorrow that I cannot talk it anymore. We have a strong bond and share a lot of things through WeChat. I would like to bring the wechat on his iPohne 5 down to computer for permanent memory keeping as iPhone is an accident-prone gadget and I cannot risk long any of the wechat messages with my late Gramp. But I don't know how. Is there any way to back up the WeChat conversation with my Gramp selectively from iPhone?" Continue reading

Dye raw eggs according to the directions to the PAAS Easter egg decorating kit. Allow drying overnight.
1. With an egg topper or serrated knife, cut off wider end of the egg (make sure cut is low enough that a spoon can fit in the opening.) If cutting with a serrated knife, lay the egg on a towel, and with a steady but gentle sawing motion, cut halfway through width of egg. Remove knife, turn egg upright, and pop off the top of the egg. Pour 2 of the eggs into a bowl to reserve for the custard, and the others you can save for any other kitchen uses you might have for them. Reserve the paper egg carton. Reserve the shell bodies.
2. Under running water, using your fingers, carefully remove the membrane from inside the shell bodies. Clean up any loose shell pieces from the edges of the shell cavity, then set aside.

(Page 2 of 2)
through a combination of hourly fees or equity. Through leaning on consultants and vendors to keep expenses low, Resolve hopes to achieve a venture-style return. The exit strategy is to sign a conventional licensing transaction with a Big Pharma company that will provide some upfront cash and milestone payments. Resolve went this route because the founders knew the odds of getting returns via an IPO or whole-company acquisition were pretty slim, and the chances were better of enticing a pharma company to in-license a single compound for the next stages of clinical development.
A few things have happened in lupus since Resolve was getting started. Human Genome Sciences and GlaxoSmithKline made big news in the lupus world in March 2011, when they won FDA approval of an antibody drug called belimumab (Benlysta): it marked the first new treatment for the disease in 56 years. So far, the drug has gotten off to a slow start in the marketplace, and has done nothing to deter other contenders, Posada says. "There's still quite a bit of unmet medical need in the space," he says.
The next couple years will be a critical time for Resolve to show its strategy has merit. The company hopes to start its key study of 50-60 lupus patients in late 2013 or early 2014, then have positive results to show prospective Big Pharma partners one year later. Even though Resolve doesn't need to do any long-term follow-up of patients and their symptoms in this study, the trial will probably take about a year because lupus patients are notoriously difficult to enroll in trials, Posada says.

All members of the Commission shall be appointed by the Borough Council and shall be residents of the Borough. Members of the Commission shall serve without salary but may be paid expenses incurred in the performance of their duties, as approved by Borough Council. Each member, when initially appointed, will have a term of three, four or five years.

The Chairperson will be responsible for setting Commission meetings, coordinating with the Borough Manager regarding complaints and answers received, and generally ensuring that the duties of the Commission are fulfilled. The Chairperson may delegate responsibility for Commission duties to specific members of the Commission.
Borough Council hereby grants to the Commission all of the powers necessary to execute its duties, as established in this chapter.
The Commission shall be empowered to promulgate such additional procedures to those set forth herein as it determines to be necessary or desirable to implement the intent of this chapter, subject to review and approval of Borough Council.
A member of the Commission shall hold office until his or her successor has been appointed by Borough Council. However, a member of the Commission may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by a majority vote of Borough Council.
If a vacancy shall occur by reason of the death, disqualification, resignation, or removal of a member, a successor shall be appointed by Borough Council to fill the remainder of the unexpired term.
The Commission shall keep a full record of its business and shall no less than annually make a written report of its activities, if any, to Borough Council. Interim reports may be made as often as may be necessary or as requested by Borough Council. In addition to written reports, and upon request of Borough Council, the Commission shall send a representative to attend a Council/Committee meeting in order to present on any matters so requested.
Filing a complaint.
Any person(s) claiming to be aggrieved by an unlawful practice, as set forth above, may submit a signed, verified, written, and completed complaint alleging violations of this chapter. The written complaint shall include the following information:
The name, address, and contact information of the aggrieved person(s);
The name and address, and contact information of the person(s) alleged to have committed the prohibited practice;
A concise statement of the facts substantiating the complaint, including pertinent dates, locations, and persons involved;
If applicable, the address and a description of the public accommodation, dwelling, commercial property, or housing accommodation which is involved; and
Such other information as may be required by the Borough.
Completed written complaints must be delivered to the Borough Office to the attention of the Borough Manager. All completed complaints must be received by the Borough Office within 180 days of the alleged act of discrimination to be considered timely.
The Borough Manager shall record the date and time the written complaint was delivered to the Borough Office and shall convey the complaint received to the Chairperson of the Commission within 10 work days of the Office's receipt of the completed, written complaint. The Borough Manager shall return to the submitter any complaints deemed incomplete or not in technical compliance with this section, along with an explanation for the rejection.
The Borough Office may promulgate forms for use by persons wishing to file a complaint. However, complaints which are prepared without the use of an approved form shall be deemed acceptable under this chapter so long as the requirements of this section can be clearly determined from the document submitted.
Notification and answer.
Within 30 days of its receipt of a complaint from the Borough Manager, the Human Relations Commission shall determine if it has jurisdiction hereunder to hear the complaint. If the Commission determines that it does not have such jurisdiction, it shall dismiss the complaint and notify the allegedly aggrieved party. If the Commission determines it has jurisdiction to hear the complaint, it shall proceed to:
If the respondent wishes to address the complaint, the respondent shall file a written verified answer to the complaint within 30 days of receipt of the complaint. An answer to a complaint may be filed in the same manner as an original complaint or submitted to the Chairperson of the Commission. If the answer is filed with the Borough Office, it shall be conveyed by the Borough Manager to the Chairperson of Commission within 10 work days of the Borough Office's receipt thereof. The Commission shall promptly send a copy of the answer to the person(s) allegedly aggrieved.
Mediation conference. If an answer to the complaint has been received, or 10 days following the deadline to answer the complaint if no answer was received, the Commission shall invite the parties to voluntarily participate in a mediation conference concerning the dispute. The parties shall respond to the invitation to participate in a mediation conference within 15 days of being invited to participate.
Conference procedures. If mediation is elected by the parties, the parties may jointly select a mediator, in which case they shall be jointly responsible for all financial costs and expenses associated with mediation and may allocate the costs of mediation as they agree. If the parties do not jointly select a mediator or agree to allocation of costs pursuant to approved procedures of the Commission, the Chairperson of the Commission shall select a mediator, who may be either a member of the Commission or a volunteer from the community. The parties shall meet with mediator at a location mutually agreeable to the parties within 30 days of the agreement to participate in the mediation. Mediation proceedings shall otherwise be confidential. Neither the results thereof nor any record made in connection therewith shall be made public unless agreed to in writing by both parties to the dispute.
Conciliation. The mediator shall notify the Commission of whether the mediation conference resulted in a resolution of the complaint within 10 days from the date of such resolution or, alternatively, 10 days from the date that the mediator determines that mediation will not be possible. In the event the complaint is resolved through the mediation, the Commission shall notify the parties that the complaint has been dismissed.
Disposition of the complaint. Provided the Commission has not elected under Subsection F of this section to use expanded procedures, and if the complaint is not resolved through the mediation conference, the Commission shall notify the complainant that the complainant may pursue any available remedy under law or equity, including, but not limited to, pursuing the matter in court or pursuing any available claims under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission and/or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Failure of complainant to respond or cooperate with investigation. Failure of the complainant to respond to the Commission's inquiries in a timely manner, attend a scheduled mediation conference, or otherwise participate or cooperate with any of the Commission's proceedings or investigation shall result in a dismissal of the complaint, with notice being provided to both parties by the Commission of such dismissal and the reasons therefor.
Option of the Commission to elect for expanded procedures. The Commission shall have the authority to elect, upon majority vote, to adopt expanded procedures as set forth in Subsections G through L of this section subject to approval by Borough Council and appropriation of necessary funding, if any, for such procedures. Any such election for expanded procedures must be approved by Council prior to the filing of a complaint in order for such procedures to be utilized in resolving the complaint. In the event that such procedures are adopted, they must, while in effect, be applied to all complaints that are not resolved through a mediation conference. If the Commission has adopted expanded procedures, it may also, by majority vote and in its sole discretion, eliminate such procedures.
Expanded procedures; investigation and dismissal of complaint.
Investigation. If the mediation conference was successful in resolving the complaint, the Commission shall follow the procedures set forth in Subsection C of this section for dismissing the complaint. If the mediation conference was not successful in resolving the complaint, the Commission shall, in a timely fashion, investigate the allegations of discrimination set forth in the complaint. The Commission may, in the conduct of such investigation, issue subpoenas to any person with information regarding the alleged unlawful practice to furnish such information, records or other documents to the Commission, or to give sworn testimony, as necessary to assist in its investigation.
Finding of no cause. If it shall be determined after the Commission's investigation that there is no basis for the allegations of the complaint, the Commission shall cause to be issued and served upon the party's written notice of such determination. This notice shall inform the complainant that the complainant may proceed to pursue any available remedy under law or equity, including, but not limited to, pursuing the matter in court or pursuing any available claims under the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission and/or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Conciliation. If the Commission, after investigation, determines that probable cause exists for the allegations of the complaint, the Commission shall immediately endeavor to eliminate the unlawful practice complained of by persuasion, conference and conciliation.
Expanded procedures; public hearing.
If the Commission, in its discretion, finds it is not possible to eliminate the unlawful practices by persuasion, conference or conciliation, the Commission shall cause to be issued and served a written notice scheduling a public hearing before the Commission at a time and place to be specified in such notice.
The Commission may designate one or more of its members to preside at such a hearing or it may, at its election, conduct such hearing en banc. Any Commission member who acted as a mediator, investigator or conciliator shall not participate in such public hearing except as a witness to present the results of the investigation.
At the public hearing, the case in support of or against the complaint shall be presented to the Commission by the respective parties or their attorneys. The complainant must appear at the hearing to provide testimony; otherwise the complaint shall be dismissed. If the respondent does not appear at the hearing, the complainant shall still present testimony to substantiate the complaint.

Are you in?2/22/2013

For as long as I can remember, I always thought that uncertainty was par for the course because in every relationship I'd ever been in, I always had a voice in the back of my head repeating "I'm not sure". See the thing is, this uncertainty really doesn't do favors for either party but before I reached that conclusion, I began to question if this was what 'love' had in store for us all. I began to question if I'd actually ever been in love. I hadn't been single for a very long period of my life so I decided to focus solely on myself with the intention of remaining single for a year...
Well, that didn't work. As life has it, once we stop looking for something, it has a way of finding us. But I have to tell you, before I started dating the guy I'm absolutely crazy about, I found that being alone and cutting out bad energy really kick-starts one's life. My perspective is very different now. Forget about guys, there's never a sad second when you have great friends and family - two areas that most definitely improve when you are single.
So with relationships, sometimes the timing is simply not right. Sometimes there's this nagging feeling that you could find someone better suited to you. Sometimes they're a giant asshole who everyone has been telling you is an asshole but you really don't want to believe it because that means you've wasted your time on some idiot. I've been there, amirite? Whatever the doubt is about, if you aren't sure then find something you are sure about; a hobby, a kick ass project, a series you're obsessed with. I'm serious, focus on something just for you no matter how silly you think it is. You don't have to terminate any relationship but you might start to really enjoy your own company and get a better sense of what you want.
So I had to tell that girl at the club that I had been there. I had wondered if I should break up with my boyfriend which for me, meant I was just delaying the inevitable. Years after my slightly doubtful period, going into my hell-am-i-unsure-but-i-like-his-face phase, I've ended up here. This slightly scary place where heartbreak is real because for the first time in my life, I am sure. I became so sure of things since I started focusing on myself and I think I've been able to spend my time more productively as well as with the right people, because of it.
So if you're really uncertain about things, don't waste your time anymore. You might not meet the perfect person soon but in the meantime, there's always someone who would love to go out and dance with you. Whatever you're looking for, you can find it. Don't spend all of your time on someone who keeps giving you doubts when you can have a fuller life without them, a life full of laughing with friends, singing terrible karaoke and chatting to strangers until the sun comes up. It's all out there waiting for you, without a doubt.

The 2016 presidential race has been nothing if not colorful over the past year. And now, it appears that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders will continue that tradition, as the pair seemingly agreed to debate one another after being asked by a late-night TV host whether they'd be game.
According to NBC News, Trump was asked on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday night whether he would consider debating Sanders, which Trump's said he would do if Sanders donated a sum of money to charity. Ever the reality TV star, Trump added that a debate between the two "would have such high ratings."
A few minutes after Trump's answer, Senator Sanders tweeted, "Game on. I look forward to debating Donald Trump in California before the June 7th primary."
The proposed debate would not, as of now, include Hillary Clinton, who leads Sanders significantly in the race for the nomination.
Earlier this week Clinton declined to debate Sanders ahead of the California primary, with her spokeswoman saying her time was "best spent campaigning and meeting directly with voters across California."
The Huffington Post reported that this would be the first-ever debate between two presidential candidates prior to both of them having received their respective parties' nominations.
Trump and Sanders had previously been asked to debate one another in March by Fox News Channel, and Sanders had agreed but Trump declined because of a scheduling conflict.
According to Politico, no formal announcements from the campaigns about the details of the debate have been made yet, but Sanders is scheduled to appear on Kimmel tonight so perhaps we'll get more details. While unconventional, it can't be denied that both Trump and Sanders have gained huge followings and garner lots of enthusiasm from voters and fans. If this actually happens, the ratings will be — HUGE!

Nobel laureate Blackburn unexpectedly retiring as president of the Salk Institute
Nobel laureate Elizabeth Blackburn is unexpectedly retiring as president of the Salk Institute in La Jolla, two years after taking over a research center that's been roiled by accusations of gender discrimination.
Blackburn, 69, issued a statement Thursday that said she will leave the institute at the end of next summer.
She did not mention the three faculty members who separately sued the institute over the summer, alleging that the Salk discriminates against women in salary, benefits, promotion and access to money.
Blackburn says the allegations are untrue. She declined a request from the Union-Tribune on Thursday to discuss the lawsuits and her retirement.
Her retirement comes just over four months after Ted Waitt unexpectedly stepped down as chair of the Salk, an elite center whose basic research has helped produce new drugs to fight cancer and arthritis.
Waitt did not go into much detail when he announced his retirement, nor did Blackburn.
She said in Thursday's statement: "At this stage in my career and life, I've concluded that my energies will be best devoted to wider issues of science policy and ethics – issues in which I have had a deep and longstanding interest – and spent advocating for measures I feel are critical to supporting ongoing scientific research and discovery worldwide."
When she took office in early 2016, Blackburn told the Union-Tribune that she expected to spend a long period as president of the Salk, which was founded by the late Jonas Salk, who developed the first effective vaccine against polio.
There was little public controversy until this past summer when three of the institute's senior faculty — Vicki Lundblad, Katherine Jones and Beverly Emerson — sued the Salk, claiming gender discrimination.
All three characterized the Salk as an old boy's club that routinely discriminated against women.
Blackburn emphatically denied the claims and took the unusual step of issuing a statement that publicly and personally criticized the quality and volume of work done by Jones and Lundblad over the past decade.
The statement drew an angry response by some of the nation's top scientists, who accused the institute of attacking good researchers who pointed out a problem that needs fixing.
The critics included Carol Greider, one of the researchers awarded the Nobel Prize with Blackburn. Along with Jack W. Szostak, they shared the 2009 prize Physiology or Medicine. They were honored for their discovery of how chromosomes are protected by end structures called telomeres and the enzyme called telomerase, which restores telomeres.
Blackburn later softened her comments, and the situation calmed, at least publicly.
This controversy must have been personally distressing to Blackburn, said Jeanne Loring, a stem cell scientist at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla.
"I think it would be a horrible situation to be in," Loring said.
The two have had a "nodding relationship" since first meeting a long time ago, Loring said, although they don't know each other well.
Loring said she was surprised Blackburn took the job in the first place.
"I have the feeling it didn't turn out to be what she thought it would be," Loring said.
Pradeep Khosla, chancellor of UC San Diego, said Thursday, "This comes as a complete surprise, but I can tell you that it will be a big loss for the Salk and for the (Torrey Pines) Mesa
"We have had many conversations with the Salk about building something jointly. Nothing came to fruition, but it was a work in progress. Now, that will have to be reset."
Darlene Shiley, a major Salk donor and former member of its board of trustees, spoke in similar terms.
"I believe her retirement from the Institute is a major loss for them. It is good to know, however, that she will continue her involvement in the scientific world, especially with regard to broader policy issues."
"Dr. Blackburn wisely sat down with many of the donors at the beginning of her tenure to elicit our thoughts and support. Her stellar reputation was accompanied with a graciousness and warm approach that signaled she was an excellent choice to take over the leadership of the Salk."
Passion for science
Joe Panetta, chairman and CEO of the California biomedical trade group Biocom, said Blackburn showed dedication to advancing science during her time leading the Salk.
Panetta said he saw that "passion for science" when Blackburn took part in an event by San Diego-based Biocom.
"I think she was a role model in a lot of ways for women entering the sciences here," Panetta said. "There were issues at the Salk that obviously had nothing to do with her," he added, alluding to the sexual discrimination controversy.
Dr. Scott Lippman, director of UCSD Moores Cancer Center, said Blackburn has been a "vocal and fierce" leader in the effort to prevent cancer and stop it at its earliest stages.
"She has helped reshape the future of cancer prevention," Lippman said. "I am an unabashed admirer, and though she will continue to work on wider issues of science policy and ethics, her retirement from Salk is a blow and an incredible loss to this region."
Sara Radcliffe, president and CEO of the California Life Sciences Association, said "the world is far better" for Blackburn's work in science and bioethics.
"At the Salk and across California's life sciences community, we have been the fortunate direct recipients of her leadership and positive influence in ongoing scientific research and discovery," Radcliffe said.

Delivering sound quality that's sure to satisfy even the most discerning audiophiles, all SR Series models are equipped with Marantz's proprietary HDAM® (Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Module) technology and current-feedback circuitry.
"This exclusive HDAM and current-feedback technology, part of what makes Marantz products sound so great was previously found only in our flagship and Reference series products, but we've incorporated it into all three SR Series receivers," said Paul Belanger, technical product manager, D+M Group. "These new SR Series receivers bring the finest sound quality to the full range of customers who want to build the best sounding home theater system to fit their budget—a proud testament to Marantz's 60 years of audiophile heritage."
Other exciting upgrades in the new SR Series line include improved speaker terminals and enhanced, user-friendly setup and operation assistance on all models.

As always, the SR Series lineup features Marantz's unparalleled design with the iconic "star and circle" porthole display and curved front panel. The receivers' build quality is second to none, backed by a three-year warranty on all models covering parts and labor. All three models feature Apple's AirPlay, allowing users to stream their iTunes music whether from Mac or PC, as well as music stored on their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.* Users can also enjoy music from sources such as Pandora, SiriusXM, and Spotify**.
