This is one of the consequences of the annexing of Crimea by Russia, which did not hit the headlines, but the loss of the Massandra cellars and the viticultural institute of Magaratch is nevertheless a major re-shaping of the viticulture of the region. Ukraine has ceased to be a viticultural country while Russia has become one. Little known, even by wine buffs, Crimea is a major viticultural area and one of the best producing regions for sweet and fortified wines. Massandra and the Magaratch Institute are unique in the world.
In its bowels dug deep inside the mountain, there are more than one million bottles of vintage collection wines amongst which are, for example, 5 bottles of Jerez de la Fronterra 1775. Sotheby's in London sold one of these bottles at auction in October 2001 for the modest sum of 43,000 US$. It went to a woman bidder from Asia who admitted that she was prepared to spend as much as 100,000 US$ to acquire the bottle. Undoubtedly, Massandra is to wine what the library of Alexandria was to books. Jorge Luis Borges described the latter as 'created by an act of God'. If a tsar created the former, it is not difficult to see the hand of God as Massandra has such a magical and mystical feel about it.
Massandra has survived all the adventures and follies of Russia's swirling history. It has seen the end the tsarist empire, the Bolshevik revolution, the force collectivisation, the Stalinist terror, the Nazi occupation, the massive deportations before and after the war, the de-Stalinization process, the perestroika and the brutal return to capitalism. It even survived the invasion of Russia by the Germans in 1941. Stalin sent three vessels to Massandra to collect the wines in haste to be stored in three different locations far away from the war zone. When the war was over all the bottles were returned to the cellar, not a single one was missing.
Before the annexing of Crimea by the Russians, Massandra was still in Sovkhose, which is a state property and not a commercial enterprise.
The southeast coastline of Crimea that spreads from Yalta to Nowy Svet is well suited for viticulture. There are, to-day, 25,000 hectares of land planted with vines. It is exposed to the rising sun, well sheltered from the rigors of winter and heavy rains coming from the west and the north. The sea acts as a thermal regulator, which tempers extremes of temperature. Rainfall does not exceed 600 mm a year and there are between 2,000 and 2,500 hours of sunshine a year - pretty much ideal conditions for vines that sometimes give the impression that they are falling in to the Black Sea. The ideal situation is probably the greatest threat to vineyards as the area is fast becoming a summer resort and is known to house dachas of the Ukrainian and Russian parties' apparatchiks. Viticulture is not new to the Crimea and it is thought that Cimmerians introduced it. To maintain the vines upright and properly exposed to the sun, they probably invented the 'maglari' system that consists of wrapping the vines around a tree so that the plants can climb like a snake. If the first settlers to produce drinkable wines were the ancient Greeks, it is in the 19th century that modern viticulture took off. Two passionates gave the trigger, Lev Sergueïevitch Golitsyne descending from one of the oldest aristocratic families in Russia who was the initiator, and the Tsar Nicolas II who was the patron. After several attempts to replicate fine wines made in Europe, they decided to concentrate on sweet and fortified wines. It is not known whether this was an empirical choice or whether it was a rational one, but it was a wise choice as the terroir in Crimea proved to be fabulous for sweet wines as it contains a high proportion of schistes that can absorb heat during the day and restitute it at night.
Schistous soils have proven to be great soils for the production of fortified wines as in the Douro in Portugal. The domain embarked on replicating all the great sweet and fortified wines made in the world, red and white Port, Madeira, Marsala, Bastardo, Kagor, Tokaji, and white, red and black Muscat. They are not just copies of existing wines, they have their own personalities that reflect the terroirs from which they come.
By 1894, Nicolas II succeeded his father, Alexander III and decided to appoint Golitsyne as his personal cellar master, as Golitsyne had, by then, built up a collection of some 30,000 bottles during his pilgrimages to France, Spain, Italy and Portugal. Shortly after his crowning, the tsar, who would be the last one in Russia, decided to create Massandra to supply the royal court with fine wines. The responsibility of the 40-hectare domain was given to Golitsyne, the project was ambitious and worthy of royal status. The Massandra Cellars which were dug deep into the mountain, which is almost vertical, has three floors with six galleries on each floor, each measuring some 150 metres, lined up with gateways - this is where wines from the Massandra collection for every vintage ever made are stored. Parallel to these gigantic galleries, there is another cellar, very much like a nave of a cathedral, where the 'jewels' are stored, for example a 1917 Jerez, the year of the Russian revolution and of the death of the tsar, as well as the famous five bottles of the 1775 Jerez.
Now what will the attitude of the Russian authorities be towards Massandra? Let us hope that they will maintain some sort of status quo to preserve the treasure that any nation would be proud of.
Massandra Red Stone Muscat 2005
Derived its name from a huge stone present on the slope of the mountain where the vineyard is located and which has a curious vermilion colour. Aromas of hibiscus flower melon, peaches and apricot with overtones of banana and exotic fruits. Good aromatic definition that, together with the acidity gives a solid backbone and lengthens the wine in the mouth. 15/20
Massandra Bastardo of Magaratch 2006
This grape variety originated from the Jura Mountains where it is called Trousseau, but, in Portugal, it is named Bastardo and it is used as a blending component in Port. It is a cross between Petit Verdot and Duras.
Purple saturated. Astonishing wine with aromas of a concentrated coulis of black and red fruits mainly figs and blackberries with hints of tapenade. It is lush, juicy, but well structured. 15.5/20.
Massandra 'Madeira' 1983
This is a blend of Sercial, Verdelho and Albilo. Subtle, understated and dry, it is reminiscent of an old Amontillado. It is elegant with pleasant and well-managed oxidations that give the wine flavours of rancio. Nutty with grilled almonds. Crisp and sharp acidity that reinforces its length. 14,5/20.
Massandra 'White Port' 1975
Made exclusively from a grape variety called Kokur that bears some similarity to Semillon. It is a single vineyard selection called Suroz. The wine plays a harmonious partition in between the dry and the sweet. It is delicate and eminently drinkable with a good length. 14/20.
Massandra Red Stone Muscat 1966
Remarkably racy and elegant with aromas and flavours of apricots and peaches lifted with a hint of mint flavour. It is rich and crystalline at the same time. The finish is long with citrus characteristics, almond paste and medlar. 16/20
Massandra Muscat de Livadia 1975
This derives its name from the Livadia Palace in Yalta where the tsar used to come and enjoy the mild climate of the region. Superb aromas of old Muscat with yellow peaches and rose petal flavours. Beautifully balanced and harmonious, it finishes with a touch of oxidation giving some rancio overtones and lifting the finish. 16.5/20.
Massandra Muscat Rosé Gursuff 1937
It is difficult to make a better wine than this. Amber colour with tertiary aromas of infused herbs and incense. Its aromatic spectrum is highlighted by fruit paste and bees' wax with flavours of rancio and dry fruits. Brilliant length without any sign of heaviness and the wine has still a long way to go. 17,5/20.

Writing HTML Code in Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver is a great WYSIWYG editor, but if you're not interested in writing Web pages in a "what you see is what you get" environment, you can still use Dreamweaver, because it's also a great text editor. But there are a lot of features that slip by the wayside within the Dreamweaver code editor, because the primary focus is on the "design view" or WYSIWYG editor portion of the product.
How to Get Into Dreamweaver Code View
If you've never used Dreamweaver as an HTML editor before you may have never even noticed the three buttons at the top of the page: "Code", "Split", and "Design".
Dreamweaver starts up by default in "Design view" or WYSIWYG mode. But it's easy to switch to viewing and editing the HTML code. Just click on the "Code" button. Or, go into the View menu and select "Code".
If you're just learning how to write HTML or you want to get a sense of how your changes will impact your document, you can open code view and design view at the same time.
The beauty of this method is that you can edit in both windows as well. So you can write the code for your image tag in HTML and then use design view to move it to another location on the page with drag and drop.
To view both at once, either:
- Click on the "Split" button (between Code and Design)
- In the View menu, select "Code and Design"
Once you're comfortable using Dreamweaver to edit your HTML code, you can change your preferences to open Dreamweaver in code view by default. The easiest way is to save the code view as a workspace. Dreamweaver will open in the last workspace you were using. If it doesn't simply go to the Window menu, and choose the workspace you want.
Code View Options
Dreamweaver is so flexible because it has so many ways to customize it and make it work the way you want it to.
In the options window, there are code coloring, code formatting, code hints, and code rewriting options you can adjust. But you can also change some special options within the code view itself.
Once you're in code view, there is a "View Options" button in the toolbar. You can also view the options by going into the View menu and choosing "Code View Options".
The options are:
- Word Wrap wraps the HTML code so that you can view it without scrolling horizontally. Note, that this option does not insert any carriage returns in your code, it just displays the code so that it's easier to read.
- Line Numbers displays line numbers along the side of the code. It shows a line wrap symbol for lines that wrap longer than the view window.
- Hidden Characters displays special characters instead of whitespace that would display on a Web page. Such as a dot replaces a space, a double chevron replaces each tab, and a pilcrow or paragraph marker replaces each line break.
- Highlight Invalid Code highlights HTML that is incorrect in yellow. If you select the yellow tag, the Property Inspector will give you hints on how to fix it.
- Syntax Coloring turns on or off the color coding of your code. You change the colors of your color coding in the code coloring section of the preferences.
- Auto Indent makes your code indent automatically after a carriage return if the code above it is indented. You can change the size of the indent by changing the tab size in the code formatting section of the preferences.
Editing HTML Code in Dreamweaver Code View
It's easy to edit HTML code in Dreamweaver's code view. Simply start typing your HTML. But Dreamweaver provides you with some extras that extend it beyond a basic HTML editor. When you start writing an HTML tag, you type <. If you pause right after that character, Dreamweaver will show you a list of HTML tags. These are called code hints. To narrow down the selection, start typing letters – Dreamweaver will narrow down the drop-down list to the tag that fits what you're typing.
If you're new to HTML, you can scroll through the list of HTML tags and choose various ones to see what they do. Dreamweaver will continue to prompt you for attributes once you've typed a tag. For example, if you type "<i", Dreamweaver will drop down to the <i>HTML tag, with the other tags starting with I following. If you continue by typing the letter "m", Dreamweaver will narrow it down to the <img> tag.
But code hints don't end at the tags. You can use code hints to insert:
- HTML attributes
- Class and ID names
- CSS properties
If the code hints do not appear, you can hit Ctrl-spacebar (Windows) or Cmd-spacebar (Macintosh) to get them to display. The most common reason why a code hint might not appear is if you switched to a different window before finishing your tag. Because Dreamweaver is keying off the typing of the character <, if you leave the window and return, you'll have to re-launch the code hints.
You can turn off the code hints menu by hitting the escape key.
Once you've typed your opening HTML tag, you'll need to close it. Dreamweaver does this in a natural way. If you type the "</" characters, Dreamweaver will close the tag that is most recently opened. This makes sure that your code stays valid, without nesting errors. This is slightly different to how other HTML editors, like Homesite close the tags. If you would rather have Dreamweaver behave like Homesite and close the tag immediately upon opening it, go into the code hints section of the preferences and select the Close Tags option that best suits your needs.
If you're not quite ready to switch over to editing your pages in HTML, but you'd like to watch the code as it's written, you should try the code inspector. This opens the HTML code in a separate window. It works just like code view, and in fact is basically a detachable code view window for the current document. To open the code inspector go to the Window menu and choose "Code Inspector" or hit the F10 key on your keyboard.
Dreamweaver will format HTML code however you would like it displayed. For example, if you use 3 spaces to indent, but never indent IMG tags, you can specify that formatting information in the code rewriting options. Then you go to the Commands menu and choose "Apply Source Formatting". This is a great way to get code written by someone else into a format familiar to you.
A feature that many HTML coders don't know about or don't use is the ability to collapse HTML code.
This does not remove the tags from the document, but just remove them from view so that they aren't distracting to what you're working on. To collapse your code:
- Select the section of code you want to hide
- In the Edit menu, choose "Collapse Selection" from the "Code Collapse" sub-menu
An easier way is to select the code and then click on the code collapse icons that appear in the gutter.
You can also right click on the selected code and choose "Collapse Selection".
If you want to hide everything except what is highlighted, choose "Collapse Outside Selection" in any of the above methods.
To expand collapsed code, simply double click on it. This opens the code up, and selects it. Then you can move that selection or delete it or add additional tags around it.
I use the collapse and expand feature all the time on pages where I don't want to edit the external template. I just select the content area I want to edit and collapse outside. Then I write my HTML. You can still view the page in Design view or preview it in a browser. The collapsed code is not removed from the document, simply hidden from view.
I also use it when I'm working on a series of items. When I've finished one, I collapse it. I know I'm done when there is no code showing.

Tragedy facing the Japanese today with the Nuclear Reactor is a tragedy that is common to us all.
This is just one reactor and we have such a huge tragedy staring at us. All because something that one of most developed nation thought it had taken care of, didn't work out quite its way. What could happen if the calculations of the Not-so-developed nations didn't work out. Chances of which are pretty high. Worse still, if there is a nuclear war. Again, chances of which are very high.
As we move more and more into a world which is powered by energy in every way, we also have a situation where either the energy sources are limited, or dangerous.. or dependent on Nature's whims and fancies. So, whatever we are trying to do is a solution for the limited time span. Instead of moving the world into a direction where we can ensure self sustenance, we are busy pushing it towards our own destruction.
In many societies, God and Nature have been used synonymously. Since man hasn't completely understood both, he has taken one for the other. Over the years, our relationship to God has developed in three ways –
- One, we have assumed God in our own image, then God assumes the exact same lunatic fringe and limitations as we have. He responds positively to praise and gets angry at being ignored. Seems to have his own idiosyncracies when it comes to doling out favors – which are clearly linked to how much of benefits we provide him. You give more donation in his name, your good is guaranteed. God, in this framework is a lunatic and a megalomaniac. This is the most common religious framework – specially in the Abrahamic ones. To this bunch, the God and his (do you notice this God is always a "male"? Male pastors, Male Maulvis.. male God.. coincidence?) intelligence is the driver of this creation. And this Intelligence is of course, just a bigger replica of man's own intelligence. Sometimes it see Earth as the center, but when the obvious insults the "intelligence" so much that there is no way to run away from the fact, then this "God's intelligence" gets a paradigm shift and makes Sun as the center. You see, this God's intelligence is a factor of the intelligence of men of that era. As thinks the Master (Man, in this case)… so thinks the "master" (God).
- Second, is the Atheist. He believes there is no God. Only physicality and some properties to it. There was a time, when everything in this Universe occured because of Newton's laws of Force and the laws of Thermodynamics, until Bohr came across his quanta which blossomed into the Quantum Mechanics and Einstein came up with his concept of relativity. Then all hell broke lose. But, as a reaction Atheist scientist calls the inherent balance in the creation as a random occurence which seems coordinated because of Creation's inherent physical properties. That gravity is the inherent property of the most fundamental existence, Hawkins argued, we couldn't have gotten anything else except this Universe. So, this property, which some call "consciousness" and some call "gravity" – is an inherent part of the Universe, which was responsible for its creation, sustenance and repeated destruction.
- Third, is the definition where the Divine, the inherent rules of the Creation, the energy that is Creation, and the Nature are all rolled into ONE and called – for the sake of semantic simplicity – is called God. And since, this combination of Creational Rules and Its foundational energy pervades (and defines) the entire Creation, then every component of it will also be Divine and God. So, this concept assumes it is unimportant what you call God, since the Creational Rules and the Creational energy, both are manifest in everything. The only aim of those who follow this path is to get to experience that Creational Rules + Creational Energy as a living experience. This attempt / exploration is continuous one and has its own science.
The first concept doesn't lend itself to any science or exploration since the decision of what and who God is has already been made. Even his entire definition – what he eats, what he thinks, how he thinks, etc – has already been decided. Nothing is left to decide. The only way any thinking changes is when the stupidity of one's own beliefs are too big to ignore.
The Atheist – who are also scientists – epitomized the birth of science after the Dark Ages. Their reaction to Dark Ages was to disprove God of the first group. If they could define the Creation in terms of its own physical properties, then one could push the God off his mantle. In this sense, whatever Nature came up with, the Atheist minds sought to interpret it in physicality and in a show of "doing better than God" – recreated things that Nature had provided, albeit not in the form that was always to the liking of everyone. So, tweaks was made to nature. Intervention became a way to culminate the understanding of the exploration.
While the first group wanted to annoint an unknown (but totally defined) God (in Man's own image) as THE Interventionist Force; the second group didn't have a need to take such a circuitous route and be evasive about the real goal – they annointed themselves as THE Interventionist Force. The second group also provided "proof" in terms of creation and gadgets. Whether God was used as a 'go-between' or directly, Man became the Interventionist in any case.
The last group either rejected the entire creation as the truth or embraced every part of it. And in both the instances, this group envisaged ways to introduce least interventions to the nature for living a lifetime. Whether it was Yoga, or Ayurveda, or Accupunture, the aim was to use minimum intervention for maximum impact and in no way do things that can tamper with the nature or creation itself. No matter what the urgency or need, no matter what power or understanding that one got, the goal firmly remained to not tamper nature and creation.
Where we are today – is a multiple of all these frameworks.
Man has worked hard. Very hard. To get to this point. The high of man's achievements to reach where we are is intoxicating. But sometimes, one needs to take a stock of where we are. As of 2007, IAEA reported that there were 439 nuclear power reactors operating in 31 countries. What if what happened in Japan happens in just 10% of the world reactors, many of them are decades old. The needs for energy are increasing manifold. India and China are nowhere near per capita consumption of energy as US or Western Europe. If the world lives like the developed world, the entire world will finish within a few decades. Yes, the world at large will never live like US lives. The world at large will never destroy the world like US does.. but that simply delays the final date. Is that any reason to feel elated? Is that even a point for discussion?
But it is telling that the mankind is simply debating about how the dates of the Global warming are exaggerated. It took millions of years to perfect a species of human by nature. Man, sadly, will take just a couple of thousand years to completely finish its species. Can there be a more lunatic species? Its a wonder that we are the best that nature could come up with.
When the nuclear reactor in Japan has taken its toll or when the workers there have declared victory on restricting its radiation, the world will go on as usual. The experts will also declare that all the other reactors are safe. This will be the third to be in such a situation. It won't take many to mess this planet up.
It won't take many people to live in a certain way to mess it up either – nuclear power or no nuclear power. For, its not about Nuclear power, the malaise is somewhere else. Its in our mindset. Its the very essence of an Atheist Science – which has installed Man as the only definition of intelligence, when – if one were look at the mess he has created on this planet – he is anything but! Its not my argument to go to the world of Dark Ages ruled by an Interventionist God, who was in the image of man. That is also installing a man at the helm, who is without any logic. This man at helm is worse than atheist man at the helm.
When we realize that we are simply borrowing our existence from this entire Universe. When we have a feeling of reverence to every inch of the Universe, then we will be responsible for it in terms of posterity. Then a few decades here or there won't mean an issue to debate. The only issue to debate would be – does my act lend itself to perennial existence on this planet and no intervention in the flow of the Universe?
The more we intervene and tamper, which ever way we use to install ourselves at the helm – direct or using God as a proxy – to do it, we will mess the world for future generations.
We not only have the opportunity to stop the world moving to the disaster, we also have the opportunity to roll back the mess already done. Very soon a generation will be faced with a situation, when roll back will be impossible. It will be enough if they could delay their end.
Once a frog was put in a boiling water, but it promptly jumped out of it. Then, the frog was kept in water at room temperature and the water slowly heated. The frog died in it.
Not that I wish bad for Japanese, or other victims of tragedy, but I hope the tragedies play out bigger than they do, so we, as a speies, do not meet the fate of the latter frog!

The best intentions - I have decide to lay bloggers guilt aside. So many wonderful projects on the go at the moment. Retail layout - feathers and nests for next week. Custom Rug project. Watercolour classes. Book Book Book... I am trying to be at peace with how directionless it all is at the moment. Although am booked up until halfway through the second week in March.
After a question the other day about how my work works...Had me thinking. Every job and every person is a little different. Most of the requests are new and fledgling ground for myself and my customer. Not huge stars or celebrities , mums, shop owners, bloggers and people just like you. I do think the fear of asking for something may hold people back.
In my experience if you are not afraid of no, anything is possible. When I am making a custom piece, nest, a craft how to, rug, storage, logo, painting, illustration you name it. It's all about the piece itself rather than the hours it took. Many pieces are more like props or stage sets. They are for now. A window that will change. A shot for a brand. Sometimes something little personal.
We have some beautiful things that I have gathered from various shoots, people and places along the way. Don't be afraid to ask. If you see something you like on a blog or instagram. Don't be afraid to ask for, trade or just open a conversation with the creative behind it. I have traded for artwork, eggs, flowers,furniture and baked goods over the past few years and I am sure many others do too
Most things don't cost gazillions just gumption. Truly
Yes Fionakate simple gorgeous storage is still going too.
Because everyone needs storage
est magazine and Made quarterly are amazing places to get inspired.

Product Review: Mettler Web Bond TA 101 (Spray Adhesive)
So it looks like Mettler has gotten a little deeper into the Notions game with their spray adhesive. Just about everyone knows Mettler for their thread, which is wonderful and very competitive with Aurifil and Gutterman. I don't know how long this particular product has been out in general (probably a considerable while), but the shop has carried it for about 6 months and I thought it might be time to give it a review. I am a spray adhesive girl. I use it when I can in my quilting projects, and also in other crafts where I want to have a good, but non permanent fix.
Like most all other spray adhesives, it comes in aerosol form, not pump-spray form, which means it should have a fairly even spray distribution...and it delivers. I found it to come out quickly, evenly and the spray itself was fairly thick. Rather than coming out as a fine mist like a lot of other sprays, which can make it hard to see where you've sprayed and where you haven't, this comes out whitish and kind of webby and stringy. What I really liked about this, aside from it making me feel like Spiderman for a second, is the fact that I could actually clearly see where my spray had ended up on the fabric. Another bonus is that even where I had sprayed the fabric heavily, the adhesive remained on the fabric surface so there was no absorption into the fabric itself - meaning, no funky patches or color distortion on the right side of the piece.
Because the spray came out as a web instead of a mist, more adhesive came out per spray, which means a little goes a long way - it has a very strong stick. I was able to leave a project alone for a few weeks without the pieces separating because the glue was weakening, so I was very pleased with that. Also, despite the amount of glue coming out per spray, I found it to have a lower odor than other sprays. Often aerosol sprays will have a very strong chemical smell due to the aerosol delivery, and can be off putting to the point where people don't want to use them. While the smell of this one is still here, to my nose it seemed less stinky than the 501, 505 series of adhesive sprays that you commonly see out in the quilting world.
The only caveat? This is not your best choice for spray basting a quilt you plan on free motion quilting. Why? Here is where it's super stickiness becomes a foe rather than friend...it will make you skip stitches like crazy if you use it as your basting spray for both quilt top and backing. I was quilting along happily and noticed my machine was skipping stitches, particularly on the curves. That immediately signaled "tension issue!" to me, so I fiddled with the tension. Still skipped. Changed my needle. Still skipped. Re-threaded my top thread AND bobbin. Helped, but still skipped. It took 2 wall hangings and some scientific method-level process of elimination, but after testing the different variables on a scrap piece of quilt sandwich, I found that the pieces that did NOT have any of the spray adhesive on it didn't have skipped stitches no matter how fast, slow, simply or intricately I was quilting. I made a couple more quilt sandwiches with different adhesives, and it was the Mettler that seemed to have the skipping issue...the others (505, 501, 301, Dritz) did not. I did find fewer skipped stitches when used on only one side (quilt top or backing) but not both. My conclusion is that since it comes out fairly thick, and has such a strong adhesion, it is catching the thread as it moves in and out of the fabric, and preventing it from creating a correct stitch.
So overall, Mettler has put out a good spray adhesive product with low stink and high stick that lasts. I will not be using it to spray baste a quilt again, but for all other purposes, I think it far surpasses Dritz and the 501, 505 and 301 series.
8 comments:
Thank you for this review! I was getting so frustrated trying to figure out why my machine kept skipping stitches-I tried everything you did, I even took my machine in to be serviced. I had used the Mettler spray to baste other quilts, without a problem. For some reason, though, my most recent project has not worked well. I was able to satin stitch around the fused appliqué on the spray basted quilt without problem, but when I started free-motion quilting the rest of the piece, my machine skipped stitches. Thinking about it more, I can think of two possibilities: when I was satin stitching (without trouble), I was using a polyester thread, and when I switched to free-motion, I changed to a cotton thread; also, this project is smaller, so I when I spray basted it I did it on a table instead of the floor, so I probably sprayed too much. Did you use cotton or poly thread? Maybe the spray doesn't stick to poly as much as cotton. Since I already bought a second can, I will still use it, but more sparingly, and quilt with poly thread when I can. :)ReplyDeleteReplies
I use cotton for 90% of my quilting, and I was using cotton when it was skipping stitches too. I bet you're right - the poly is a smoother surface and the adhesive probably doesn't stick to it quite as much.Delete

How do you get the glue out of the fabric? I have washed a quilt 3 times and it is still there. Makes me sick because my granddaughter did the quilt! Please help!Delete

Take it to the dry cleanersDelete
Thinking about using it for lace appliques can u tell me will this show through the mesh or does it wash out? Thanks!!Delete
I have never used it for that purpose, so I could't say definitively. It MAY show through if applied heavily. I'm not sure how delicate your lace is, so that would be a factor for whether it shows through, ad whether you'd want to wash it to begin with. I would suggest doing a test on some cheap lace just to see.Delete

About Us (or Finding My Mojo)
After twenty years of working in both the advertising and male grooming industries, in early 2014 I decided that I really wanted to strike out on my own. With a passion for creating premium grooming solutions and a real mop of unruly hair, I didn't think that any of the products currently on the market really catered for me in terms of its performance and fragrance, the overall look and feel, and most of all, the intangible 'style'. To me something was always missing.
So I decided to "scratch my creative itch" and design and produce my own range of hair styling products. Working with a leading premium manufacturer we began formulating my first three products whilst I started work on the luxury fragrance and design. I surrounded myself with some of my favourite inspirational bits-n-pieces: a book on the cover art of Blue Note records, a selection of fragrances, my vintage Gibson ES-125 guitar, a Montecristo cigar and lighter and a classic Paul Smith shirt, and I let the waves of inspiration flow in… MOJO's eye-catching retro design was then applied to our weighty and stylish glass jars – most of our competitors use plastic tubs and tubes!
Months later my mate Martin popped round to see me. So tentatively I showed him my outline thoughts. For the first six or seven designs he wasn't impressed, that was until I showed the final design for the MOJO Hair* range. "You've nailed it – you've got your MOJO back" he shouted!

After a further months of refining the formulas, fragrance and design, the initial three hair styling products are now available with our Luxury Beard Oil,Luxury Pro-Salon Shampoo and Luxury Pro-Salon Conditioner.All of the MOJO Hair products feature our unique signature fragrance which delivers a long lasting scent that is elegant,charismatic with a sophisticated,woody oriental composition.
We believe the MOJO Skin & Hair* range is an instant classic because:
- It fuses superior pro-salon product performance with a premium,luxury and sensuous fragrance.
- The retro stylish design and heavy-weight glass jar cuts a real dash.
- And best of all, MOJO Hair* will make your hair look and smell great – defining your individual style and attitude.
We sincerely believe our products will give you that little extra swagger, attitude, confidence... and MOJO!
I am really proud that the range has received great reviews globally and is now on sale in the U.K,USA,South Africa,India and Israel.
Look out for more stylish MOJO Skin & Hair* grooming products coming soon.

I have wondered for sometime why successful founders like Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Bill Gates don't repeatedly build incredible organizations. The psychology behind staying with one organization made much more sense after reading a brief article this morning. The following excerpt from The Facebook Effect by David Kirkpatrick shares a revealing look inside the mind of a very popular founder:
Michael Wolf (president of Viacom's MTV): "Why don't you just sell to us?" he asked. "You'd be very wealthy."
Mark Zuckerberg: "You just saw my apartment. I don't really need any money. And anyway, I don't think I'm ever going to have an idea this good again."
Pay particular attention to that last comment by Mark. He really doesn't (or at least he didn't) believe he'll have an idea as good as Facebook again in his life. I'd wager his next idea will not only be as good as Facebook, it will be better. But we may never see it. Maybe Mark's next startup will tank, but then his third will transform the world in a profound way. But those are risks he may not have the time or willingness to pursue. Or perhaps Mark Zuckerberg is incredibly talented at emulating other peoples ideas and executing faster*, so repeated startups may not suit him. It's easy for me to arm chair quarterback these theories, but the reality of startup life is grueling and nerve wracking.
Mr. Zuckerberg is deeply tied into Facebook's corporate nuances. Growing that corporation fast and healthy eats up all his clock cycles and attention. My hunch is that he's tied up with corporate partnerships, strategy, and upper management meetings around the clock plus travel time. He's probably got a slide deck generating team or simply shows live development sites. How many mega growth company CEOs get time to chase after windmill's for their next pet side project? Zero.
I haven't even locked on to a single viral pattern yet, so it's silly of me to expect anyone to want to repeat the startup process. The greatest wealth that is created by rock star founders is when their companies are young and flexible. It's in this raw phase where the path to a functioning business framework is discovered and developed. There's an exception to every trend, and Steve Jobs is it. His return to Apple was followed by a meteroic market value explosion, as he took the bull by it's horns, and revolutionized a mature company.
Big Corporations are Chained by Momentum and Consumer Expectations
I'm curious what the world misses out on by having such capable creators tied up in big business minutiae. Once a startup pattern blossoms to capture the attention of the world it's dynamic features become locked into expectations and standards, and the real wealth creative abilities of it's founders become limited. What's the next big innovation for Facebook, an embedded video chat client or a shared video watching capability that's branded NBC? Even Google struggles under it's own legacy systems to create new transformative and self disruptive technology. And for the new tech that's crafted at Google (Wave, Buzz, other Google Labs stuff), how much do Sergey or Larry get to have a hands on role in sparking revolutionary new systems? Changing the Google logo and some subtle search changes was big news, how's that for transformative? The premiere web tech company is restrained to incremental modifications by it's cash cow, our eyes. Our ability to tolerate changes to their search interface is Google's innovation event horizon.
*= on emulation and execution, I'm not knocking these attributes, they're essential in building businesses

Small World
I was so happy to meet these sweet kids this morning. They drove all the way down from Madison to have their pictures taken with me this morning. I'm so glad we had such a beautiful Fall morning to work with! Mom and I had some "small world" connections. Their family just happened to move into our old neighborhood a few months after we moved to Birmingham. A friend, and their new neighbor suggested my name as a photographer. It turns out Mom also knows another client of mine from Birmingham.
Here is a sample of some shots from our awesome session together!

New Delhi: With some activists opining that the unique identity number should not be linked to the government`s rural employment scheme, MNREGA, UIDAI chairman Nandan Nilekani has said the `Aadhar` number should not be the basis for any discrimination.
Asked about activists like Jean Dreze, a member of the National Advisory Council (NAC), not favouring linking Aadhar to MNREGA, he said the number should not be used in such a manner that one gets discriminated against.
"Aadhar should not be a basis of discrimination," he said at the annual Rajinder Mathur memorial lecture organised by The Editors Guild of India.
He said the number was optional and not compulsory and that `Aadhar` only aims at ensuring that people get the right services they are entitled to.
Talking about other aspects of the project, including privacy, he said there should not be any fears with regard to the UID databank as it will store very limited information.
"The only service that we give is authentication," he said.
Nilekani said the Aadhaar number will be helpful in opening a bank account, getting a ration card and many other things especially for the poor and the migrant labourers.
He said the number will enable inclusive growth and development for the deprived and will act as an instrument of social inclusion.

The Albuquerque Sol claimed three of seven possible awards at the Premier Development League annual meeting in Tampa, Florida. The Sol earned the hat trick for its innovative and inventive sales work to boost ticket sales and attendance.
WINNER Best Team Scarf
The Albuquerque Sol held an open contest soliciting designs that reflect the spirit and image of New Mexico and Albuquerque. The 2017 edition was turquoise with a red ribbon highlighting the Sandia mountains the Zia symbol. The winning design was submitted by Berenise Miramontes, an employee & alumnus of UNM!
WINNER Best Promotional Video
The Sol cut a Television commercial with the help of Nijian Productions, Cliffdweller Digital and narrated with the emphatic voice of local Poet Laureate and ABQ Resident Hakim Bellamy. The commercial is available on its YouTube page. Part of the footage was shot at the Rail Yards in downtown Albuquerque. It shows a contingent of passionate Sol fans marching clad in Sol gear with flags, horns, and drums. The fans cheer on Sol players practicing their craft. Other parts were shot by Cliffdweller Digital around New Mexico capturing the sights and sounds of the land of enchantment.
WINNER Best Season Ticket Sales Campaign
This season, the Sol unveiled the "Soldado" campaign to attract new season ticket holders. Soldado members received a personalized engraved metal business card featuring a unique identification number the Sol logo. Soldado members were able flash their member card at local retail businesses such as Starr Brothers Brewing or Positive Energy Solar for exclusive discounts.
"I'm immensely proud of the club personnel, volunteers, and fans for all their hard work on a great 2017 season," Team President Ron Patel said. "We happily and humbly accept these league awards on behalf of every affiliated with the Sol. These awards are a recognition of our successful community engagement campaigns and I can't wait for 2018."
The PDL annual meeting is the chance for club leadership personnel from the 76 teams to get together to share and study best business practices. The meeting offers insights on sales, marketing, club growth, and game day work.
"The 2017 Albuquerque Sol season had the strongest attendance in our existence," Sol GM Larry Espinoza. "The Sol remains focused on unifying and uplifting the Albuquerque area through our work in the community and success on the soccer field. These three awards signal that we're on the right track as a franchise and I can't wait to keep growing, investing, and improving."
Someday the Albuquerque Sol will have a prominent trophy case in its own stadium in the heart of the Duke City. But for now, awards won for work on or off the field will reside in the corporate office.
The Sol compete in the Premier Development League, the fourth tier of American professional soccer. The PDL is part of the United Soccer Leagues. The USL also operates the Division II USL, the newly-announced Division III league and Super Y League. The PDL has served as the proven stepping-stone for aspiring professionals.
Nearly 70 percent of all MLS SuperDraft selections since 2010 have PDL experience, including a total of 59 alums chosen in 2017. Notable PDL alums include Newcastle United FC defender DeAndre Yedlin, 2016 MLS Rookie of the Year Jordan Morris, 2016 MLS Defender of the Year Matt Hedges, and U.S. Men's National Team members Darlington Nagbe, Brad Guzan, Geoff Cameron, and Tim Ream.

London: Gamma-ray bursts, massive explosions on the other side of the galaxy, could end life on Earth, say planetary scientists.
A new theory claims that the explosions, thought to occur when two stars collide, releases tons of high-energy gamma-ray radiation into space, finally leading to the end of life on planet Earth.
The scientists have already found that such blasts are contributing to the depletion of the Earth`s ozone layer. Disruption of the ozone layer lets ultraviolet light filter
down to surface of Earth where it can change organisms by mutating their genes.
Now, they are beginning to connect the timing of these gamma-ray bursts to extinctions on Earth that can be dated through the fossil record.
"We find that a kind of gamma-ray burst -- a short gamma-ray burst -- is probably more significant than a longer gamma-ray burst," lead researcher Brian Thomas of Washburn
University was quoted by `Livescience.com` as saying.
He added: "The duration is not as important as the amount of radiation."
It is thought to be the first time the scientists have connected the timing of these gamma-ray bursts to extinctions on Earth that can be dated through the fossil record.
There are two types of gamma-ray bursts -- a longer, brighter burst and a "short-hard" burst, which lasts less than a second but seems to give off more radiation than a longer
If such a burst were to happen inside the Milky Way, its effects on Earth would be much longer lasting. The short bursts may be caused by fender-benders between stars, such as
dense neutron stars or black holes colliding.
The researchers were able to estimate such collisions happen about once every 100 million years in a galaxy. That means Earth would have been hit by several over the course of its history.

It really seems like social media sites have been heating up over the past week. Or maybe even overheating. Since I'm such a sucker for looking for patterns, let's review:
Friday, November 2, 2007:
- Google's new social media application framework, Opensocial, is hacked within 45 minutes of launch.
Saturday – Sunday, November 3-4, 2007
- Bloggers worldwide had their hearts sink when they saw their Feedburner subscribers at half what they should have been, since they were missing Google Feedcatcher counts.
Monday, November 5, 2007
- The StumbleUpon database was inaccessible for over an hour, and continued to have intermittent issues throughout the day.
- Google social media platform OpenSocial hacked again. By the same guy.
Tuesday, November 6, 2007
- Sphinn users reported some issues on site badges showing up correctly. (Note that this was cosmetic and was fixed quickly).
- del.icio.us homepage was for a portion of tonight, but all seems ok now.

Friday Financial Five – December 6th, 2013
Friday, December 06, 2013
GDP revision and jobless claims
Gross Domestic Product was revised from 2.8 percent to an annualized rate of 3.6 percent for the third quarter. The revision was heavily influenced by an increase in business inventories. GDP isn't expected to sustain this level as businesses curtail spending. The unemployment situation is caught in continued stagnation despite a recent reduction in jobless claims. Entry level positions are getting eliminated and worker hours are getting reduced. This is not only harming individuals, it's affecting small businesses as consumer spending will continue to lag.
Year-end tax strategies
With the holidays coming, now is the time to put last minute tax strategies into action before it's too late. For investors, that means reviewing your taxable portfolio to offset winners with losers and reduce capital gains. Consider selling long term bond funds or commodity funds that may have lost this year. Business owners should consider capital expenditures that will qualify for the 179 tax deduction, such as certain SUVs, trucks and vans. For high income earners, it's time to project 2013's AGI being mindful of the possible Medicare high-earner tax, the possible investment tax of 3.8% and any itemized deduction limitations.
Bitcoin a "bubble" according to Greenspan
Alan Greenspan opined that Bitcoin pricing is a bubble, due to a lack of intrinsic value. There's a certain irony as Greenspan has, for the most part, disagreed with the assertions that his easy money policy of the early 2000's contributed to the housing bubble that burst shortly after his tenure with the Fed ended. His position on Bitcoins would seem to reinforce the legitimacy of the Federal Reserve. Current Fed chairman Ben Bernanke has stated there is no plan for the Federal Reserve to regulate the virtual currency.
Medicare open enrollment period ends this week
Most retirees don't pay a premium for Medicare Part A, which covers inpatient hospital stays. Part B, which covers outpatient services, comes with a premium. With open enrollment ending this week, there is a rare bit of good news for retirees. Next year, the Part B premium will remain $104.90 and the annual deductible will remain constant at $147. For those turning 65 who are newly eligible for Medicare, the initial enrollment period may extend past the deadline of December 7th (Larry Bird's birthday).
The "millionaire's tax break" coming under scrutiny
The IRS routinely revisits the voluminous tax code for possible revenue streams in the form of unnecessary deductions. Those thinking the ultra wealthy need to pay more will be happy to know that an oldie but goodie tax break is under the microscope, according to Bloomberg. Currently, some real estate owners can take a deduction for a "conservation easement". The owners keep the land, but donate the value of a perpetual promise to leave the property alone, and then take a deduction for it. It doesn't sound much like a deduction that benefits the public good, and it overwhelmingly benefits the very wealthy.

Criticism for criticism's sake is pointless, but I enjoyed your seemingly unbiased article on the Grand Princess ship ("Cruiseopolis," June 21), and it was good to read that author Christopher Reynolds actually paid for his cabin!
If it is indeed the policy of the Travel Section to book anonymously, how can Cruise Views authors Shirley Slater and Harry Basch travel as "guests of the cruise lines," and at the same time, travel "anonymously"? Perhaps, this is why their ship reviews are usually soft in areas of unbiased criticism?

CSRA CEO Larry Prior has joined a coalition of other CEOs working to advance workplace diversity and inclusion.
Prior joins just a handful of other government contractor senior executives who are members of CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion. Some of those contractors include Booz Allen Hamilton, Engility, Mitre, and Northrop Grumman.
The group has over 270 CEOs from a broad range of companies and industries such as Coca Cola, American Express, Kroger and Viacom.
There also are several other CEOs from companies that have significant public sector businesses including Accenture, AT&T, the Carlyle Group, IBM and Cisco.
Prior said that with 18,000 employees, "CSRA has a unique opportunity to influence and impact our employees and customers."
Supporting diversity and inclusion shapes how the company makes decision, improves employee relations and "motivates us to provide innovative and imaginative next-gen solutions for our customers," he said in a statement.
The CEO group helps member companies take concrete action and set goals for diversity and inclusion. One way they do this is through a clearinghouse of actions and practices by its members.
For example, the ceoaction.com website includes a CSRA case study about how they collected demographic information when the company was first formed. The survey they conducted helped them define what diversity and inclusion means at the company and gave them a starting point to measure progress.
Mitre holds an annual women's leadership conference that both men and women attend.
While emphasizing diversity makes for positive PR, this isn't about being politically correct. There is increasing evidence that diversity makes good business sense.
For example, diversity can help foster better decision making because multiple views and perspectives are present. Companies need to value diversity so contrary opinions and ideas are freely expressed.
Fostering diversity and inclusion takes leadership and that's what I like about this CEO group. The emphasis on diversity is a commitment from the top of the organization.
Employees need to see and hear the CEO talking about diversity but they also need more than words. They need to see action and a personal commitment as well.

Things you do now for which your 16-year-old self would disappointed in you
- I am friends mostly with people who went to private school.
- I'm not really politically active and don't go on protests or aynthing like that.
- I rarely play football.
- I am not a comedy writer.
- I don't listen to Metallica any more.
- dont have a super hot girl
- still live at home and still live where i grew up
I would never go to see the Manic Street Preachers in concert again
I take recreational drugs
I listen to electronic music more than guitars
* I visit the gym and notice when I haven't been
* I drink Ale
* I have listened to The Smiths and enjoyed it
Absolutely nothing. I had no concrete views when I was 16, I don't think.
I don't really have any now either. Although I don't really like No Fronts by Dog Eat Dog anymore.
or hobo humpin slobo babe
by whaleLofisongsaregreat this'd this
I still play that when I DJ sometimes.
well im just verging on 19
so still do the same things, just legally now and without insane stupidity
i occasionally
eat at mcdonalds
It's funny you mention this
as, for reasons I won't go into, I am attending a pop concert by the group Oasis tonight, about which I almost have a feeling of 'let's get this out the way'.
And I was thinking, my 16 year old self with the same ticket would be walking around with a boner on probably.
not sleeping with Louise Nurding
Agreeing with Lib Dems
Not bothering to vote
i have been known to occasionally purchase coffee from starbucks
i drink ale sometimes
erm, i dunno what else
I would have said something but it would have been embarrassing if it wasn't you.
I would have said something but it would have been embarrassing if it wasn't you.
I have a question
Why hasn't she got a backing band called the Grenadines? Seems like she's missing a trick.
-I drink too much
-I'm not as productive with making music as I should be
-I'm an administrator
i'm much better than my 16 year old self
he was well shit.....he played football more but that's it.
- Not going to enough football games
- Not playing enough football
- Being poor
- Occasionally opting for wine over beer
I'm sure there are quite a few achievements that would make that 16 year old happy though. Infact if you told that no-hope loser, that he went on to become fuck-buddies with the hottest girl in the school he would have told you to stop taking the piss.
not much
-i wear skinny jeans
-i have no money
-i still haven't managed to figure out how to make my hair look anything better than a mop.
-i don't still love patrick wolf
-i never managed to make out with the hot dude i worked with after high school, and now avoid him on the train.
-i talk about my boyfriend far too much
-i'm vegetarian.
I was really shit when i was sixteen anyway.
ps. - i really, really enjoy pop punk
more than anyone over the age of 16 probably should...
pop punk is FUCKING BRILLIANT and everyone should like it
just in case you wondered
Nothing i can really think of.
The 16 yr old me would find the fact that i post on a forum daily quite creepy but then i was 16 15 yrs (jesus suffering fuck) ago when it was not the done thing at all.
Apart from that i've got it all ;)
bloody hell, I'd hate me!
-cut off all my hair
-I'm nice to people now
-not with the girl I thought I'd love forever (ha!)
-I drink, and go to clubs (used to think I was 'straight edge' just coz I couldn't do that stuff back then)
-sold out and got a proper job
-I don't spend every weekend skateboarding anymore
- I don't have full sleeve-work done
- I moved back to London
- I'm no longer that tall, comparitively
I stopped skateboarding
I miss it soooooooo much!
My 16 old self would actually love me
I'm not saying the 26 year old me does though.
However I think I'd be a bit gutted that I haven't been looked upon as a literary genius nor have I married Keanu Reeves (though I did meet him, and I thought....meh, so in your face Reeves!)
depends what era?
Point Break = YES
i've not changed one bit since I was 16
so nothing
i think my 16 year old self would love me now
simply because i was such a twat back then and now i'm not that bad.
i take school seriously (to an extent)
i go to a comprehensive
i don't do drugs anymore
i don't read as much as i used to
i care about the plight of others far too much
i drink wine
i've been moping after the same guy since i was 16
i still do 'silly things'
Eat meat
take drugs
work in an office
I imagine my 16-year-old self probably would have expected me to have graduated by now
but I'm not sure that my failure to do so would be met with disappointed. If anything, I'd probably get a high-five.
i smoke cigs
me sucky
-I haven't spent a semester abroad which I want(ed) to do.
-I probably drink too much & have smoked a couple times.
Not much
I was a badass then
And a badass now
I'm a DiSer.
I'm not a great painter.
im poor
dont smoke, but have been snusing it up lately to act like a businessman
i try and act like a businessman
my only point of redemption is i hope to actually start a blatantly psychedelic and super spacey band when i go back to school in august.
so maybe every version of me just hates me know but the good me will be back soon
