Susan and Emi joined me at a small park in North Las Vegas this morning for (literally) a last-minute photoshoot with mother and child.
Cheers Mike. I’m working on putting it onto a poster print – I’ll pass on the template later if you’d like.

Today in the Champions League Main Round there were two derbies between teams from the same countries, the first one was in Hungary (FTC-Győr) and the second one in France between Brest and Metz. Metz literally smashed their French rivals, not giving any chance for Brest on their own home-court. Metz is on a wave, last week they defeated Rostov Don as well.

A Yom Tov meal, especially a regal one like Rosh Hashanah, deserves a dish fit for a king. In this recipe, a French roast is braised in red-wine with jewels of dried fruit reduced in it’s sauce. I can’t think of anything more festive or delicious for a chag in which we coronate Hashem as our king!
Method: Saute onions in olive oil until golden, set aside. Season the roast with salt and pepper and sear on all sides (see tip). Pour wine into pot and scrape up any bits and pieces from the seared meat. Return onions to the pot and spread around the meat. Bring wine to a boil over high heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 1-2 minutes until the alcohol evaporates. Cover the pot and cook for 1 1/2 hours over low heat. Turn over meat, add dried fruit and season with honey, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add 1/2 cup water and simmer for 30 more minutes. Remove meat from the pot, and cover with foil to keep warm. If needed, continue to simmer the dried fruit until the sauce has reduced and thickened, about 30 minutes. Slice roast against the grain and spoon sauce over meat before serving.
TIP: Searing the roast seals in the juices resulting in meat with a nice brown color and moist flavor. For a good sear, make sure the pan is nice and hot. Once the meat is browned, turn over and repeat. Hold the meat on it’s sides using tongs, so that every edge is covered.
NOTE: For a larger roast, increase cooking time (in the beginning, before you add the dried fruits) approximatley 30 minutes-1 hour per lb.
FREEZING: This roast freezes beautifully. Slice it first so that it’s easier to thaw and freeze it separately from the dried fruit.
UPDATE: 9/1/2014: While I used to simmer my roasts over a low flame, I have learned over time that gentle cooking in the oven is best. You may use an oven-safe pot and place in the oven at 350 degrees for the 1 1/2 hour cooking time. Turn over the meat, add the dried fruit and seasoning and return to the oven for 30 minutes (or more, if roast is larger than 2 lbs.). Remove the roast from the pan and simmer the sauce until thickened.
I could just let the picture do all the talking, or, I can tell you why.
Did you ever taste the classic Hershey’s chocolate cake recipe? You know the one that is super moist and decadent? Almost fudgy? You know how no matter how many chocolate cakes you make, they can never measure up to that recipe? Well let me tell you a little secret. If you look at the recipe, you’ll see that it calls for a cup of boiling water to be stirred in at the very end. That water makes the cake almost pudding-like. It becomes super moist and incredibly delicious.
Why am I talking about Hershey’s chocolate cake in my honey cake post? Well…When my sister sent me this recipe last year, I thought I already had the best honey cake recipe. But when I saw the addition of boiling water at the end, it had me intrigued. It turns out that this is now my best honey cake recipe. And it will be yours too.
A few years ago, I made Martha Stewart’s honey cake with caramelized pears. The pears made for a beautiful presentation. But let me be honest. This honey cake is way better! I decided to take a cue from the queen of domesticity and top it off with caramelized apples, in lieu of pears, for that “apple dipped in honey” finish. Drizzle some more honey over the top and you’ll be in honey heaven! Talk about a sweet new year!
Preheat oven to 350. Beat eggs and sugar until creamy. Add oil and honey and beat until incorporated. In a separate bowl, mix flours, cocoa, cinnamon and baking soda. Add wet ingredients and mix well. Pour boiling water into the batter and mix by hand. Pour into greased round pans (see note) and bake for about 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
TIP: If you don’t have self rising flour, add 2 tsp salt + 3 tsp baking powder to a measuring cup, and add flour until you measure 2 cups.
NOTE: I prefer to bake this cake in round pans, it makes for a prettier presentation when topped with caramelized apples. Place 3 round pans on a cookie sheet in case some of the batter spills over. Burnt honey cake on the bottom of your oven is not pretty and smells awful :) If 3 cakes is too much for you, bring one as a hostess gift, or just halve the recipe.
PLAN AHEAD: This recipe freezes really well without the apples. Wrap well with 2 layers of saran wrap.
VARIATION: Try placing your honey caramelized apples on the bottom of the cake (this works great in a bundt) for a sunken apple and honey cake.

Wow, it’s been a while since I last blogged - and here comes a tiny helper to upload one or more CSV file to a SharePoint Online list.
I think its the best documented script I ever created…!!!
The following script checks a folder for files - and opens them. Then each line will be uploaded to the specified SharePoint list defined by the provided mapping.
The mapping is kinda straight forward. The header (if present, skip it with -skipFirstRow flag) is not required, you have to provide it via the -mapping parameter.
and want those values in a list with Column1 and Column2, then provide the script -mapping Column1, Column2.
Please note: The types are currently not passed and I only tested it with text values - if that is something you need, it could be easily added.
And the rest of the parameters? They are of course documented in the script. Copy it to a file and do get-help -full to get it!
This is a simple Powershell script to upload csv files to a SharePoint Online list - line by line.
To connect to SharePoint Online the script requires a username/password the url to the SharePoint site and the list title.
To extract the csv files you musst provide the folder location and if the csv contains a header.
Lastly the script needs a mapping to map the content of the csv file to the SharePoint list.
The csv header is used to map the entries to the SharePoint list.
The mapping is provided in PowerShell string array notation, no quotes, separated by comma - in this case the SharePoint list has the fields Counter, Title, Datum, Uhrzeit1, Uhrzeit2, Uhrzeit3, Uhrzeit4 and Anzahl - they appear in that order in the csv.
Currently I only tried to upload plain text - if you want more sophisticated field types, that should be easily doable.
write-host -ForegroundColor Red "Folder $folder does not exist"
write-host -ForegroundColor Red "No csv files in folder"
Write-Host -ForegroundColor green "Connected to SPO"
Write-Host -ForegroundColor green "List loaded"
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "Fields: "
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "Mapping incorrect - Field $h is not available in the SharePoint list"
$lines = Import-Csv -LiteralPath $file.FullName -Header $mapping -Delimiter ";"
write-host -ForegroundColor Yellow " ($(($lines | Measure-Object).count) lines):"
write-host -ForegroundColor Yellow "skipping first row"
write-host -ForegroundColor Green "file $file done"
So is it working for you? If so, please leave a comment!

UNITED NATIONS — Forces loyal to Ivory Coast’s president-elect pushed their two-week-long military offensive deeper into the country’s main city Saturday, threatening the entrenched incumbent’s hold on power, as U.N. and aid officials claimed that several hundred people had been massacred in a western town last week.
As the United Nations and humanitarian organizations sought to tally the dead in Duekoue, rival forces battled for control of the commercial capital, Abidjan, where key installations seized Friday by Ouattara’s forces, including the national radio station, fell back into the hands of Gbagbo’s troops Saturday morning.
Alain Le Roy, the U.N. undersecretary general for peacekeeping, said in an interview Saturday that Gbagbo’s forces were firing indiscriminately in urban neighborhoods.
The violence in Ivory Coast has its most recent roots in the country’s disputed Nov. 28 runoff presidential election. Gbagbo lost to Ouattara in a U.N.-certified vote that was largely backed by foreign governments, but he has refused to cede power. Several months of high-level diplomatic efforts, combined with financial sanctions, have failed to budge him.
U.N. officials and human rights groups say that in an effort to consolidate power, Gbagbo’s forces have perpetrated serious human rights abuses against civilians suspected of supporting Ouattara, as well as attacking U.N. installations and personnel.
Last month, a coalition of former rebel groups, police and soldiers mounted a military offensive against Gbagbo, beginning in the rebel stronghold in northern Ivory Coast. The armed movement met with relatively little resistance as it seized town after town, capturing control of the administrative capital, Yamoussoukro, last week, and bringing the fight to Gbagbo’s stronghold in Abijdan on Friday.
But Ouattara’s forces have also been accused of carrying out reprisal killings and extrajudicial executions of prisoners during their march to the capital.
Le Roy said that there clearly had been “killings by the hundreds” in Duekoue, long the scene of inter-ethnic violence between tribes supporting the rival camps.
“I understand it has mostly been done by forces close to Ouattara,” Le Roy said of the massacre, adding that Ouattara’s camp has acknowledged killing a large number of people there but claiming they were members of an armed militia, not civilians.
He also said Ouattara has agreed to an independent investigation of the killings.

So you think Sen. Mitch McConnell smirked a little when he wrote this tweet? OH WAIT, we can’t say he smirked because that’s the new racist trigger or something now, right? Or is it sneering?
Either way, how amused with himself was Mitch when he pointed out who has come to the table with the ONLY proposal that will automatically open the government?
Not only would the proposal open the government immediately, it would open it FULLY.
And Democrats, you know, the ones insisting they want to help put federal employees back to work, thumbed their nose at it. If Mitch was trying to make them look worse he succeeded … heh.
Ever notice the only time the Left seems to care about our founding fathers is when they can use them?
The proposal outlined by @POTUS was DOA. It institutes limits that don't exist now. Separate the border security issue and immigration from government funding and RESTART GOVERNMENT NOW. We're waiting. Put House bills to a vote NOW.
Actually, it was only DOA because Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats would rather play politics than get anything done but we digress.
Don’t like it? Win an election.
But Obama and Harry Reid were real?
It’s blackmail! “I take it away, then give it back if you do as I say”. Last I knew, blackmail is illegal. I lnow much of the GOP is deep in their own pile of it, but not good enough for America.
Such drama on the Left.
Presidents do not write legislation. Do your job. Open the government AND hold him accountable.
That doesn’t make it worthy of becoming law.
You know what? We got nothin’.

At El Camino Dental Arts, we provide professional teeth whitening services that can keep your smile bright and beautiful. If you have never had your teeth whitened, we invite you to call (760) 692-1065 and schedule an appointment with our Vista dentist office. In just one teeth bleaching visit your teeth can become up to eight shades whiter. Given how easy it is to whiten your teeth, we are asked a lot of questions about it, especially by patients that are considering an at-home whitening procedure. At our dental office, we always recommend that you schedule a professional whitening.
The ultimate goal of whitening your teeth is to have a brilliantly white and beautiful smile. With that in mind, make sure that you are using a whitening solution that is powerful enough to do the trick. Teeth bleaching works when you apply a whitening solution that contains some type of peroxide. The solution we use in our dental office is significantly stronger than what is sold in the stores. Simultaneously, it will penetrate below the surface of your enamel to remove deeper stains. Much of what you buy in the store will only remove surface stains and leave your teeth looking a lighter version of yellow. If you live in the 92081 area, you can have whiter teeth, faster, by scheduling the teeth whitening appointment at our dental office.
Check out what others are saying about our teeth whitening services on Yelp: Professional Teeth Whitening Vista.
If you would prefer to whiten your teeth at home, you can still have a professional teeth whitening. You can have whitening trays created at the dentist and wear them at home while using professional whitening solution. This will deliver impressive results and be more comfortable than any trays that you can buy in the store. Since store-bought whitening trays are made to fit everyone, they are typically loose, and the solution will leak out of them and into the back of your throat. This is entirely uncomfortable and completely avoidable when you use trays created by a dentist. If you live in Vista or the surrounding area, we invite you to visit our dental office to see how easy professional whitening is and how much more effective it can be than a store-bought solution.
Do not try teeth bleaching at home without reading this warning. It is possible for you to permanently damage your teeth when whitening them at home. Your teeth have a hard layer of enamel on the surface. They arrive this way, and once your enamel is gone, you cannot replace it. Underneath your enamel is porous dentin that contains your nerve endings. If the enamel wears away, the dentin will be exposed, and your teeth will become sensitive. Eating and drinking with sensitive teeth can be incredibly uncomfortable and the only way to permanently fix your teeth is to have a cosmetic procedure like bonding or having dental veneers or crowns placed on your teeth. The biggest problem that people can have, when whitening their teeth, is overexposure to the whitening solution. If you place teeth bleaching solution onto your teeth for too long or you whiten your teeth too many times in a short period, you can cause your enamel to erode – permanently damaging your teeth. This is why scheduling a professional teeth whitening is so important. As El Camino Dental Arts, we will make sure that your teeth are whitened correctly by using the right amount of solution and removing it before reaching the point of irritation. If you are looking to save money, at-home whitening may seem alluring. However, the risk that you run of damaging your teeth could create much higher expenses down the road. If you live in the 92081 area, schedule a professional bleaching by calling 760-692-1065 so that you can receive the results that you want without the risk.
There are two main types of professional bleaching, and each rely on our professional grade whitening solution. They are entirely safe and will transform the appearance of your teeth without the risk of sensitivity. One option is to visit the dentist and have an in-office whitening treatment that works in around one hour. The second is to have custom whitening trays created that you can wear at home. At El Camino Dental Arts, we have patients that enjoy both options, so it really becomes a matter of choice. To discuss this further, we invite you to call (760) 692-1065 and schedule a consultation with our Vista dentist office.

It’s getting harder and harder to find quality wardrobe items. A high price point does not guarantee high quality, and a low price point is even more of a gamble. Most fashion retailers offer inconsistent quality at best. Brands that give us consistently high quality are few and far between, so when you find them it’s like discovering hidden treasure. That’s the consistent new normal.
Take these two items from Banana Republic bought within the last year. The first is a pair of cropped orange pants that I absolutely adore, but the quality is disappointing. They are perfect for the first few hours of the day, but stretch out dramatically thereafter. The fronts have pilled too. Granted, I washed and wore these pants very frequently, which might be why they’re wearing out. But that shouldn’t happen within the same season of purchase.
Next is my best ever purchase from Banana Republic earlier this Spring. I LOVE this dress. It’s a lined navy cotton lace midi dress that puts designer wear to shame. It’s beautifully made, fits like a dream, and swooshes with the best of them. It doesn’t crease when you wear or pack it. It comes straight out of the suitcase looking like a million bucks. It holds its shape and does not stretch out during the day. It’s 100% cotton lace and very breathable. It’s machine washable, AND air-dries perfectly on a hanger as if it’s just been pressed by the cleaners. It’s a truly remarkable frock.
I can’t boycott retailers after they’ve given me an inferior garment, because the next purchase might be a gem. If I’d decided to never purchase from Banana Republic again, I’d have missed out on the fabulous navy lace dress.
It’s all highly annoying. We try to make discerning decisions about quality before we purchase an item, but we only know how they really perform after the wear-and-wash road test. It seems that consistently inconsistent quality has become a part of modern retail and fashion.
I so agree with this.One can no longer assume that because a garment comes from a reputable retailer that it will be of the same quality as other things purchased from the same retailer.It s very frustrating but a consequence,I believe, of companies sourcing their stock from multiple suppliers all over the world.
Angie – agree. But since I online order all my clothes (time does not permit actually b&m shopping) I have been forced to contract the brands I shop for. EF, Vince pants, Theory, Smythe, VB are the mains. I do shop Gap, Everlane – but I won’t purchase other pieces unless there are positive reviews and hopefully sizing information. Not that all things work out, but I need to hedge my bets. This is why I also review pieces on sites that request it. It’s so important to avoid mistakes. But I do not buy at AT, BR and the like because of quality issues – unless there are tons of positive reviews or you have recommended it. Otherwise too dicey.
Quality hit and miss for sure — at all price points!
It’s really frustrating that one can’t rely on a brand anymore for quality. Makes it hard to know where to turn to.
Angie, I remember there are some things that you look for/at when you buy a piece to help determine its quality..can you summarize them here for us?
I also find this very frustrating, but it is what it is. I really heavily on your top picks for that very reason. That BR dress is truly a gem – I am enjoying mine as well.
This here is why I’ve actually looked at Boden and put a few of their sweaters on my Christmas wish list. I’ve read too many rave reviews of their stuff #onhere and I trust you guys.
Even though my tastes have shifted more towards RATE & mixing hard and soft, it’s still hard to find things I like from many of the brands known for their quality. I think part of that stems from the fact that I’ve only recently stopped looking for things that look like they’ve survived the zombie apocalypse. Hopefully my eyes just need to be exposed to more of the clothing that actually looks new, and that it will start growing on me as I get used to it.
I’ll be watching this thread carefully to see what other brands get mentioned the most in these responses as being reliable for good quality. I need to expand my brand options as I search for pieces I can use in the next phase of my life.
I completely agree, especially as someone who happily keeps items for 5+ years. I don’t mind giving away items for the inevitable fit changes that happen with time, and when they are truly worn out. But, I’m always distressed about items with too much visible wear after a season or two. Especially as I’m careful with washing, hand wash a lot, and hang to dry almost everything.
Agree that this is a dilemma. What is frustrating to me is not being able to anticipate the quality of a certain piece at point of purchase. Discouraging to buy a pricy, apparently refined knit by a major player and have it pill on day 3. Some quality points are discernible on initial inspection; others not. Apparently, all of us can only hope… And to brands who manage a consistent quality point, we’ll be seeing more of each other. This is particularly important for online shopping.
So true, Angie! I think online purchasing will just make this problem more prevalent, since it’s impossible to see and feel the garment first. I’m inspecting garments more for loose threads, basic construction, etc. Fabrications are even inconsistent in two versions of the same garment, resulting in different fits, drape, and durability.
I remember and I am going back to the early 90’s when Gap made the best cotton, white t-shirt, soft, durable, a mainstay. Now a cotton white t-shirt that you can’t see through has become like a Unicorn, impossible to find! What happened to that? And what about sizing, don’t get me started. I did find Uniqlo this year, took a chance and order these over lay lace tank tops, for some ridiculous low price. Once I received it I was amazed and promptly ordered 2 more in different colors. They wash in a lingerie bag, hang dry and require no ironing and pack like a dream. But in general with fashion, buyer beware!
This is truly frustrating, speaking as someone who wants clothing items to go the distance and last for several seasons. It seems very wasteful to spend the time and resources designing and manufacturing a garment that lasts one season only.
If you Angie, a professional, say this I am sort of comforted. It means that it is not me being too picky about quality. And all what Lyn67 said!
I agree completely, Angie. It is a shame.
My biggest issues continue to be with knitwear. I can’t say I’ve been disappointed in the quality of anything else I’ve bought in the last year or so : my wardrobe is athleisure/tech fabric heavy at the moment and those pieces are washing and wearing like iron. I haven’t purchased anything from BR in quite awhile now as I haven’t been terribly happy with them in general. My last few knitwear pieces (from last winter) were dreadful .
This is why I prefer to sew my own clothes and have for decades. But even the fabric industry has changed (not for the better) and it is now harder and harder to find quality natural fiber fabrics. They are out there of course, but the selection is much smaller and the price higher.
For those of you who also sew, I have found Fabric-Store.com, Banksville Fabrics and Sawyer Brooks fabrics to be still consistently very high quality even though their selections are noticeably smaller.
Totally agree, and thats one reason i have generally been shopping irl instead of online. I just started buying more online lately, and following Angie recs (successfully), since i dont work or live near many stores anymore.
My biggest issues have been too sheer fabrics and armhole v body size ratio in the last few years. And agreeing with Beth Ann about inconsistent sizing across colors!
Angie, sometimes it’s scary how you seem to be in my head. I was going to post about this yesterday, but didn’t have time: the Max Studio skirt I bought this summer, that was shaping up to be a favorite, did not make it to ten wears – despite gentle laundering and air drying on a rack. I find that infuriating.
What I’ve noticed is the fabric content of coats in particular. Even expensive coats have low wool content, and polyester mixed in. It’s disappointing.
Lyn67, Katerina and Sisi, good to hear the Euro point of view. You MUST be discerning about quality. I want you to be.
Gryffin, good that you try to hedge your bets, especially when shopping online. It’s a luxury to be able to do so, but an increased gamble too. It’s something many of us try to do, and why I review an item to the best of my ability at the time. That said – and as someone who is out there shopping with clients for a living and seeing garments post road test – I’ve found that brands like Vince and Eileen Fisher are consistently inconsistent! They used to offer consistently good quality – especially Vince. Hope you’ve had a better run.
Tanya, HIGH FIVE. I try to share what I can with the top picks. Reviews are best AFTER the road and wash test for sure.
Cindy, I’ll be putting together a list of brands with the most consistent good quality soon.
Kathie and Eliza, I find that jersey knits and knitwear are the worst offenders. 100% polyester/nylon/polymide jersey knit on the other hand wears like iron.
Chris, natural fibers are great, but not necessarily the best. They are ecololgically less friendly than you think, and quite unstable. It’s hard to find an EXCELLENT quality item made of 100% natural fibres. Blends are usually best. (Oh my word, that dress sold out in the navy March! That’s why I shop early in the season. Sorry you can’t snap it up).
Beth Ann, YES. The fabric – and fit for that matter – can be inconsistent in two or more variations of the same garment.
Linda Welsh, Uniqlo does some stuff very well. Great that you lucked out with those tees.
Becky, it does, doesn’t it. I wish there was a solution. Fewer price breaks, and just pay the price is one way to go. I will elaborate on the forum.
Lisa p, my point exactly. Tech fabrics made of manmade fibers wear like iron. And YES – knitwear is the most inconsistent offender of all.
Barbara, how do the items you make wash and wear?
Suntiger, thanks for the kind words. Shopping in stores helps to some degree, but has major drawbacks unfortunatley. Lack of sizes and assortment for one. It all evens out in the end, I believe.
LBD, SOOOO annoying about your skirt. Rotten luck.
Chris987, agreed. Inferior fabric is top of the list.
I have this problem with LOFT, which doesn’t shock me since they’re at a lower price point than even BR but is still frustrating since they really bill themselves as everyday work-wear. Some of their pieces are total workhorses for me and I’ve had them for years. But a blouse I bought this spring shrank to comic proportions after ONE wash (cold water!) and air drying! So disappointing.
JAileen, blended fabrics are a good thing, actually. But again, the quality is inconsistent.
Juniper Green, it’s awful isn’t it. And the next BR garment you buy is a gem and wears like iron. I empathize.
Last year, I had three Zara tops not survive the first washing. And I’m very careful. I know Zara is cheap and cheerful, but I still find that appalling. I’m just glad I’m not someone who washes before the first wear!
It’s the practically see-thru knits and pilling after just a couple wears is what’s so aggravating to me. How can they make the fabric any thinner? I used to sew and may have to start again. But as Barbara said fabric selection is harder to come by as well, especially in my rural area.
Jaileen has commented on a clothing category jumble I just noticed a few years ago while shopping for a new winter coat: $300 for a coat with 20% wool and the remaining fibers were synthetic?! This shows in the drape and feel of a major purchase. Even if you are willing to spend some more $$$, quality can be poor. And yet I’m still wearing some pieces from 12 years ago that were not pricey purchases. And I just dusted off my classic black black flared Tahari slacks that are 15 years young ( I just knew they would come back in style!).
Great examples. And it is so, so true. One of my favourite tops is from Loft — after vowing I’d never step foot in there again following a set of tops that deconstructed in their first wear!
Last year I bought a blouse at Nordstrom which cost over $100. I hand washed and line dried it ( label read ” machine wash” ) and it frayed and pulled. So I took it back and it was returned and credited to my account without fuss or question. I don’t recall the blouse brand but I do remember Nordstrom whenever I’m in the market for clothes.
Angie…to answer your question, my handmade clothes wash and wear very well. Items I make of silk, wool, cashmere or alpaca must be carefully handwashed or dry cleaned of course, but those made of cotton are fine in the washer/dryer. I suspect they probably hold up better than many store brands these days since I am meticulous in the construction and never take shortcuts which might shorten the garment’s life. I have noticed that cheaper fabrics disintegrate much sooner even though I have taken great care, but that is to be expected I guess.
From another sewing Barbara, I try to buy the best quality fabrics I can, but as others have noted, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find good quality fabrics by the yard. A shout out to Emma One Sock and Style Maker Fabrics, both online, for their great fabric. A must for me is to prewash fabrics for all garments I intend to wash when finished. I am fairly brutal in this process, especially for rayons which are notorious shrinkers. Gentle cycle, but medium or hot drying temperatures, even though I won’t be treating the finished garments that way. This gets the bad news over with before I start sewing. I wish there was some way to pretest retail garments that way.
I agree Vince isn’t that great anymore. I have Target and H&M shirts that have lasted for ages.
But stuff from Nordstrom not that great.
Yes, the days when you could count on certain labels for consistent quality are pretty much over, I’m afraid. And you are so right–price is no longer a good indicator of quality. The most reliable factor for me is one illustrated by your examples here: fabric content. It’s the first thing I check when ordering online, and even then must be careful not to be misled by descriptors like “silky”, “crepe de chine”, “woolen”, etc, which are often used for inferior quality synthetics and blends. I now look at actual percentages of natural fibers, choosing synthetics rarely, and only when they offer an actual benefit. For example, I recently bought a beautiful dress made of heavily corded openwork guipure lace in a heavenly shade of steel blue. The lace is 100% polyester; cotton would be too heavy, silk too weak to support such an open design. The lace is stunning, and the workmanship on the dress is excellent. It will probably be the dress I wear at my daughter’s wedding next year. Still, I really wish they had thought to line the dress in silk, instead of more polyester!
I so agree. Sometimes I get very disappointed, other times positively surprised. Luckily, in many cases I haven’t paid full price.
Hear hear! I find the lack of consistency incredibly frustrating. Banana Republic should be consistent, but it isn’t, and that drives me nuts. At least I know with some retailers (cough H&M cough) that I should only count on a one-season run, which means that the rare item that wears like iron is a wonderful surprise. It is also why I try, try, and try again with Boden. Even though Boden isn’t cut for my body shape, when an item fits, it is a treasure because the quality is so good.
Interesting! I’ve often thought retailers go through periods of varying quality, but it hadn’t occurred to me that the quality might be varying so widely across items in the same season.
I so agree with your points. Quality is very difficult to come by and the price point makes no difference. The change in quality standards seems to deteriorated around 2008 when the financial crises took place. I have one or two clothing pieces from before that time and they were amazing quality (from Banana Republic).
I’ve been griping about BR for years–what a disappointment. I used to buy lots of good quality pants, merino sweaters, and tees there–now all gone. I still buy stuff on the frequent sales, but am usually disappointed. Same with J Crew.
I have done well with BR dresses in the past–haven’t tried any lately. From Angie’s report, there may be hope for me there.
My friend and I were Skyping about this last night. We both used to wear Stuart Weitzman shoes and found them stylish and comfortable for our aging feet, but not since the company was sold to Jones NY.
Last spring thanks to positive YLF reports I tried out Boden–which has been a plus so far. I hope retailers are paying attention.
Shopping is becoming increasingly frustrating. I finally have the money to buy nice things, but I don’t have the desire to spend hours in B&M stores, so I get things online, and send them back, mostly. I can finally buy nice shoes–if they will just like my feet, which mostly they do not, so back they go too. Right now, I’m at 6 pairs of black booties sent back, they all felt terrible. I feel like I spend a huge amount of time sourcing basics, like simple black pants and ordinary (but cute) black pullovers, only to have them not last beyond a single season after wearing me out with the search. Price, sadly, doesn’t seem to indicate quality. And WHY can I not find a simple, white tee shirt that isn’t transparent that is cut nicely?
When Angie says something is really nice quality, I try to jump on it. Thank you, BTW, Angie, for the fray hem AT white jeans! On sale, even!
I do agree – and with the best intent – it is hard to pick. Over the last year my main issue has been stains (which is my own fault). My best luck is with jackets and blazers, jeans, dresses and footwear. Tees and knitwear are the hardest for me to pick – but I have discovered a brand that has worked for me in two 100% cotton organic pieces ( a tee and a knit dress) and I will be buying their tees mostly from now on – Kowtow.
So glad to hear I am not alone in my total disappointment and frustration. I was a loyal BR customer for almost 20 years and the quality in the last 5 to 8 years has been significantly compromised. I too look first at the fabric content of items and also where it is made. I use to keep my favorite items for 10 years (and was proud of it). Now I am lucky if something lasts a few years. Arggggg makes me so mad. Is this a reflection of companies changing manufacturers and or where/whom they purchase their raw materials from? It seems to me (a total lay person) this decrease in basic quality is a reflection of other shifts and issues taking place in the fashion industry. I would love to hear an analysis or discussion from those who are more informed or in the industry. I am soooo curious as to why this is happening.
I too find this frustrating. I bought a couple of tops from Anthropologie a couple of years ago, and I decided after only a few wears that I didn’t care for them, so I took them to consignment…only to be told that they looked too worn! There was pilling in the armpits. I literally wore the tops only a few times.
Other times, you get lucky. I had a light sweater from Loft that I wore many, many times, and it still looked good enough to be sold on consignment.
I think that the clothing labels don’t have much control over the manufacture of their clothing overseas and that is why we are having such an issue. I think that overseas factories probably bid on the work and then cut corners to keep money for themselves.
A couple of years ago I had two bad experiences with improper fabric being used for a garment. On one, a sweater maxi skirt, the fabric started thinning terribly at the seam (the knit wasn’t strong enough), so bad that you could literally see my underwear through the skirt.
The other was a pair of red velvet pants. One day I did the laundry and was folding the pants and saw a big rip in the seam on the rear end! I hope to God that happened in the laundry and not while I was wearing them.
I saw from online reviews that many, many people had this same issue with that skirt and pants.
Thanks for your thoughts, ladies. I empathize with all of you.
We also have to be proactive about taking back poor quality items. Nordstrom will stand behind their product and refund your order, or give you a new item. Other retailers are less generous, but we MUST keep on trying.
To the sewers, thanks for chiming back in.
Mtnsofthemoon, Elizabeth touched on it already. I think inconsistent quality started out as an economic thing – and now it's hard to break the cycle. I'll post about that at some point.
KikiG, YAY. Glad those jeans worked out. I love them too.
K.Period, run the Boden style by me, and I'll give you my two cents as to whether I think it will work. Boden items can DEFINITELY work for you.
Agreed. That’s why I love to find older gems at consignment and thrift stores. Your picks have been quality.
Yes! Nodding along. With outsourcing, it seems items from the same brand are made in different places and with different materials, which also results in inconsistent fit and sizing.
For what it’s worth, I’ve had extremely well-made pieces that lasted years from low-end brands–skirts from H&M and Mango, dress pants from Express, Gap cardigans, even Old Navy jeans–but it’s indeed all hit or miss.
This is why I default to Nordstrom. When a top fell apart after two washes, they repaired it for me. And when multiple paillettes would fall off a sweater (or was it a top) during each wear, they took it back. Most recently, I returned lacy knee high stockings that wouldn’t stay up at all. I don’t think I abuse their policy, but it sure is nice *insurance* and has resulted in them getting 90 or 95% of my business.
I think this is why I’m so reluctant to pay good money for items. I have a dime store budget and I’m just as happy with the quality of my sale, clearance and thrifted items without spending alot of money per item.
I totally agree! Just went through a disappointing experience with a DVF dress that started to fall apart and “pattern shift” in the silk weave after only 3 wears. My older DVF dresses still look great though. Quality at BR is hit or miss too, and I would gladly pay more to have them go back to the quality from 10 years ago. My silk blend cardigans and sweaters from BR 2008-2009 still look great, and the merinio ones I bought last fall look like crap. I am doubly challenged to find good quality too, since I am very slim and only 5′ 2″.
I hope retailers see and read this post!
I’ve had some of the best results with things you’ve recommended, Angie. I bought one of your picks, a white denim jacket by Hinge, several years ago. I’ve worn and washed it numerous times; it still looks as good as the day I bought it.
One advantage of second-hand shopping is that items have already passed some wear tests by the time they arrive at the store.
Yes, even designer clothing varies more than it should. That is why I agree the most important thing is to learn how to judge clothing quality. I do not sew but have learned to avoid bobbly seams, cheap stitching etc. For me, even more important than clothes lasting, is whether they start out looking good.
Maybe we could do a thread on brands that have delivered for us? Lafayette 148 has their own factory and everything I have from them except their T shirts and jersey dresses have worn really well. Elie Tahari, Tory Burch, Trina Turk, Tucker, and Brooks Brothers have also been reliable suppliers. For shoes, Stuart Weitzman. For boots, Frye. For bags, Cole Haan and Furla have been indestructible.
Cat, my own list is on the way in a post soon. Good to see some over lap with your list.
Thanks for the heads up. I think it’s hardest to find T shirts that aren’t sheer and stand up to regular wear. I also loved silk jersey dresses, but no one seems to make them anymore. And also note that for gals with sensitive skin, polyester can be like wearing sandpaper, and wool feels like a loofah.
I am surprised none of you mention Talbots. For awhile when Trudie Sullivan was CEO knits got very thin and the buyers had no idea that it is cold in much of the US in winter. But all that has reversed in the past five years or so. Their coats are usually 100% wool and fit like a dream. Sizing is pretty reliable from year to year and the quality is great. I get the catalog because I like to see a picture other than the one online and then usually shop in store but sometimes online. If they don’t have the color you want, you can try on another color, then order. If ordering from store, then the shipping is free.

Being the expert speaker at TYPO3 Developer Days T3DD and TYPO3 Conference T3CONF18, I covered two most crucial and trending topic on “TYPO3 Upgrade/Update”.
I'm glad to receive great applause and appreciation from the TYPO3 lovers! Likewise, from the network's kin requests, here I'll compose a point by point blog about "TYPO3 Upgrade”.
TYPO3 International Conference: TYPO3 Update! Why? & How?
TYPO3 Upgrade is one of the most crucial tasks for TYPO3 Agencies and Developers.
In my long journey of TYPO3 (almost 10+ years), I’ve done many websites (Medium to Large-scale) TYPO3 upgrade from old-school version 4.x to modern 8.x and 9.x.
Here, I would like to share my experience which will help for Beginners to Expert level TYPO3 developers & agencies.
The TYPO3 community continuously releases the security checks version with branch eg., TYPO3 8.7.12 You should always update TYPO3’s latest version.
Check out the detailed report at https://get.typo3.org/release-notes/8.x/TYPO3_CMS_8.7.12 Generally, It only contains security patches & changes, so it’s easy to update in matters of 3/4 hours.
It means You need to consider TYPO3 update version from one LTS (Long Term Support) to another LTS.
Suppose, you have the TYPO3 website with TYPO3 6.x LTS, then you should consider an update to latest TYPO3 9.x LTS. It’s a bit difficult and complicated to update TYPO3, based on the site’s complexity & the number of extensions.
Sometimes it's recommended to relaunch the website instead of doing TYPO3 update completely. Relaunch means whole brand new website development.
TYPO3 update from 4.x to 8.x with very complex and old-school techniques?
Is your TYPO3 website is responsive?
Do you want a modern look website?
Are you facing the major issue on speed & performance?
Is your existing site have outdated code & techniques?
Is estimation efforts of Major update and Relaunch is almost the same?
Highly recommend reading CEO of TYPO3 GmbH’s article at How do you know when it's time to upgrade?
According to research, there are many old TYPO3 versions (like v4, v6, v7) are running in the market, that means there will be many TYPO3 sites which need to upgrade to TYPO3 v8 and/or v9.
Around 62% of all Internet sites will run an unsupported PHP version.
The highly popular PHP 5.x branch will stop receiving security updates.
How to analyze & estimate TYPO3 Upgrade?
Mostly, you will underestimate the TYPO3 upgrade project because there are lots of technical risks.
That’s why you should always take care well of analyzing the existing site to make proper estimation to make happy to your sales team & maintain a healthy relationship with the client.
For such extension not compatible, We will do our best to make them compatible. If a particular extension will not work, then we will need to find a new solution & that will consider as extra efforts.
At your LOCAL server, Start to Upgrade TYPO3 core, Upgrade extensions, QA Testing & Bug Fixing.
You will need to do your best to make compatibilities for all the TYPO3 extension with TYPO3 patches, hooks, new standards etc., You will need to provide you list of "not-feasible" TYPO3 extension with a possible "alternative solution" to your customer.
Once complete everything at the LOCAL server then upload it to DEV server eg., dev.youdomain.com.
Your customer will need to test drive the whole site & provide an approval that everything is fine.
Finally, You can upload everything from DEV to the LIVE server.
It’s always good practice to setup proper backup & restores at the server, so it will help in any critical situation.
Versioning system like GIT will help you during the upgrade changes. Eg., You’ve settled few patches and seems does not work well then you can always rollback such code through versioning system.
As you know, the latest TYPO3 version will require the latest server software compatibility eg., TYPO3 8.x requires PHP 7.x, so just make sure to cross-verify with your customer and server guys for such all the compatibilities.
As it’s part of our routine, so Team NITSAN smartly developed one PHP script which generates an automatic report of compatibility between your server and TYPO3 version.
Step 2: Put “TYPO3_Check_Configuration.php” file at your web root directory.
Step 4: Select target TYPO3 version, and you will get the detailed report as follows.
At the LIVE website, Please make sure no one will do any changes at TYPO3 backend until you launch a new site, otherwise all their last changes may lose.
Following TYPO3 extensions will help you during the TYPO3 upgrade.
How to quickly upgrade minor/security updates?
TYPO3 provide the best feature is, We can check out minor/security updates directly from TYPO3 backend.
The Install Tool in the section "Important Actions" provides a function to update the TYPO3 Core.
For this to work, It only works under Unix and MacOS and your TYPO3 project working with the typo3_src symlink.
The document root needs to be writable and One path above document root (../) needs to be writable (new directories need to be allowed to be created).
One more important thing is The 'tar' command must be available for extracting the Source package.
You can install the minor/security updates manually. Just go to TYPO3 official site typo3.org/download/ and download the Source package of the new TYPO3 version then extract the package on your web server and adjust the typo3_src symlink.
The extension has two types, so let’s we check in brief.
There are mainly two ways to Upgrade the TER Extension in a good way.
Directly upgrade the extension using the Extension Manager. Firstly, We need the scheduler called "Update extension list (extension manager)"
This scheduler compares and give the list of upgrade extension when we switch on Manage Extensions.
After you will click on the upgrade icon you will see the popup the list of versions.
Then just check the version you want to upgrade and click on Upgrade Extension button.
Boom your version has been upgraded.
You will search your extension from the TYPO3 official site https://extensions.typo3.org/ and download after the checking Dependence.
The Custom extension is designed on the functionality of the client requirement so there is not any special way to Upgrade your custom Extension but in the custom extension, we will face the major issue with the deprecation of code so you need to study the Changelog of TYPO3 version.
You can study at TYPO3 officially site https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/core/Changelog-7.html there you will get most of the solution of error and issue.
We highly recommend you to check following popular third party solution which is very useful to smoothly and quickly upgrade TYPO3.
Here, we would like to write few code which will help to migrate (and make compatible) your particular TYPO3 extension which contains old-school codes.
All lines beginning with "require_once" and including TYPO3 core files are to be removed.
All occurrences of "t3lib_div::loadTCA('')" are to be removed.
All occurrences of "t3lib_extMgm::" should be replaced by "\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::".
All occurrences of "t3lib_div::" by "\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::" are to be replaced.
All occurrences of "tslib_pibase" with "\TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Plugin\AbstractPlugin" are to be replaced.
All occurrences of "tslib_cObj" must be replaced by "\TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\ContentObjectRenderer ".
All occurrences of "makeInstance()" with "\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance()"" are to be replaced.
TCA definitions must now be moved to "Configuration/TCA/<any_table.php>" . The section " dynamicConfigFile " within the ctrl-section is omitted.
TypoScript definitions must be moved to "Configuration/TCA/Overrides/sys_template.php".
Page TSConfig definitions must be moved to "Configuration/TCA/Overrides/pages.php".
Must now be done within "Configuration/TCA/Overrides/<any_table>.php".
Must now be done within "Configuration/TCA/Overrides/tt_content.php".
The parameters of this method must be adjusted if you want to enable backend image editor (Cropping) for FAL images.
The variable is omitted and all occurrences are to bereplaced by the extension keywith the exception of "ext_emconf.php".
Nothing should be written in $TCA or $GLOBALS['TCA'] and the file should be omitted in future TYPO3 versions. Also allowed are "\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::allowTableOn StandardPages()"
Keep communicating with your customer with let them know about the importance of TYPO3 update for minor and major update.
Guide to your customer to decide between Relaunch website and Upgrade TYPO3.
Perform step by step TYPO3 upgrade procedure with before & after checklist.
Apply exclusive tips and tricks techniques during the update procedure.
Finally, Go-live with well QA testing of your TYPO3 website.
I would love to know your experience and tips/tricks to make smooth and successfully complete TYPO3 upgrade projects. Please feel free to write down your any suggestions or queries using below comment box, Thank you!

We are surrounded by activity. We are immersed in it. The breath is a source of consistent, rhythmic activity. As our awareness meets the breath and lingers alongside its gentle flow, it becomes entrained. It gathers momentum. And what does momentum look like in terms of awareness? Spaciousness.

I tow a caravan in Europe and use sites with an electrical 'hook-up' system. The output of the 220V electrical supply points is sometimes limited to 16 amp and sometimes limited to 10 amp. The limit is 'enforced' by having a circuit breaker designed to trip at the 16/10 amp level in the circuit.
Would it be possible to overnight charge the Outlander (using the Mitsubishi supplied 3pin charging cable + suitable outlet adapter) from this power source or would the demand be likely to trip the circuit breaker? I know it can be charged from a solar array 6amp supply but the current limit is then the limited output of the array but is there a way of telling the onboard charging unit not to demand more than 10 amps?
I am interested that you mention charging from solar. I was not aware that it was possible. Do you know how?
As far as mains charging is concerned, I'm sure you could plug the generic (EVSE) 'brick' charger in to recharge. The manual outlaws the use of "extensions" but an adaptor may be different. Even so, I cannot think why it would not work. That's different to being 'approved'. I'd try to make the three-pin connection within a waterproof container. You would be charging at 10A because that's all the 'brick' will allow. So long as the breaker is not less than 10A, you should be fine. The only problem I can think of is a site owner who considers that you're taking liberties!
If you look at the type2 connector to the car, you will see that it has five pins. Within the 'brick' there is some electronic wizardry that communicates with the car to charge it safely and the extra pins are necessary for those communications. You cannot connect mains to the car directly. If you have a home charge point, it may be capable of supplying up to 32A but the car can only take 16A this way. Again, the home charge point has three wires in and five out. It has similar electronics to communicate with the car and control the charging process.
The supplied charger will not take more than 10A, often less. You will need a 3-pin/Schuko adapter.
On the Continent you can only charge at 16A from a dedicated charger using a type1-type2 cable (not supplied with the car).
Are you sure the camping grounds can supply 10/16 A (240 V) ?
Often the outlets on a camping site are limited to 6A.
What happen with your DIY charger for handle multiple cars with limited power from home network ?
There are also charging "cables" where you can select 6/10/16 A mode. I suppose it's just a signal to the onboard charger on how much current it can draw.
Charge Amps Ray is one product - a bit on the expensive side.
Using the supplied standard 10A charge cable with the control box and connecting it to a Solar array output "box" rated for 6A might cause some trouble.
Specifically, if there is no load limiter, I suspect either the power supply can brown out, or the power unit might overheat, or both. Both scenarios could be potentially damaging and potentially a fire hazard.
It's possible that the onboard charger handles 100-250 volt (or probably less), and the off-grid solar array can't deliver anything near 6A before it either browns out or shuts down, so nothing will catch fire, but I wouldn't feel totally comfortable about the scenario.
Regarding extension cables, a sustained load of 10A might be a bit much for the connectors. There are heavy duty variants that claims to handle 16A.
Stay of cheap no-name cables in that case, and check the connector temperature a few times the first hours in use.
I've charged my PHEV from a caravan using the standard brick charger when the van was plugged into a 16A blue outlet so you should be fine.
The supplied 10A EVSE brick or "granny charger" actually draws 9.5A @ 240V as I have measured. I guess it may draw more current at lower voltage but I have not tested that.
If you are on a 10A supply then you have no real overhead to have anything else turned on while charging the car.
If you are on a 16A supply then you should be OK with lights, TV and fridge but not much else. Putting a 2KW kettle on would trip it and a microwave is probably marginal.

Till level 85 is easy so I'll not explain that!
But in order to gain more exp I'll recommand u to put bonus exp on item(shield, shoes(lv 43 ones) and necklace.
From level 85, maybe 75 you go in farm map and farm on Crystal. There I'll recomand to use also a pet(Nemere), you can get pets from item-shop on site, also 'till level 125 use just one experience ring, the 30mins one, after 125 you can use both rings, the 30mins one and the 1hour one.
You will make level 134 there, after that you will go in the 134 Map, you can find that map on the NPC called Jaharr Guardian of Dragon. There I'll recomand you to go in the centre of the map bcs there are more mobs and also use Potion of Wisdom, that potion will give you a 30% experience boost for 3hours!
Following this tutorial is impossible to get a bug or something!
PS: For the Crystal i'll recomand to use Devil on items so you can deal more dmg!

The start/finish for the XC and cyclocross races was on the racetrack.
Short Track- Had a crappy start (completely my own fault), chased back up to leaders, had a mechanical with 2 laps to go, caught up to 4th and 5th, lost sprint and ended up 6th. Happy with legs.
Cyclocross- Yes, cyclocross at Sea Otter. They did a great job putting together a spectator-friendly course but only 7 women showed up. Luckily there were more than 7 drunk people cheering us on. Luna went 1-2-3: I won, and Teal and Katerina finished 2nd and 3rd.
The Sea Otter Classic is a unique event. Since I have been a professional racer, I think have only missed it once out of the past 9 years. (Wow, that just made me feel old…) It’s the kind of race you either love or you hate. I love it. It’s probably the biggest cycling festival we have in the US, and it’s the only place other than Interbike where we can catch up with sponsors and others in the industry that we don’t see all year. There are tons of racers, it’s in a beautiful area, and the weather is usually pretty nice. (Usually).
The course has changed over the years: we used to race 2 big 18-mile laps, then we moved to a shorter multi-lap course for a few years, and this year it was one 20-mile lap. The race starts on pavement, but the lap is about 50-50 fire roads and single-track. It’s pretty sandy and by the time we race so many riders have been on the trails that they are pretty choppy and rutted.
We arrived in Monterey on Wednesday night after a day traveling from London. On Thursday I was scheduled to do a ride with Mavic (our wheel sponsor) because they were launching their new 29er wheelset. Zak had a slick-looking Alma 29er built up for me when I arrived at the venue, and I jumped on and rolled out with some photographers and media who were also trying out the new wheels.
I tried a 29er a few years ago and I liked it in certain conditions, but there were some times when I preferred the more nimble handling of the 26er. Ultimately, I stuck with the 26 and I haven’t really ridden a 29er since then. The bike felt great, handled well and seemed to smooth out some of bumps and ruts on the course. Wait a minute- did I just drink the Kool-Aid? My pre-ride finished on the short track course, and I thought that maybe this was the perfect bike for the short track. I would wait until the morning to decide- I would take both bikes out to do a lap back to back. So that’s what I did, and it was no contest- the 29er felt less harsh on the bumpy short track course, so I figured I’d give it a go.
Short track. My legs weren’t feeling particularly snappy the morning of the short track. The combination of travel and jet lag weren’t really working in my favor. But if there is one way to shock your system and clear the junk out of your legs, it’s short track. You’re going to suffer no matter what, so you might as well get the crap out of your legs too, right? The course was very similar to years past- bumpy grass with a couple punchy climbs and a fast descent.
I got the world’s worst start (despite my front row call-up) and was back in the teens halfway through the first lap. I moved up slowly, picking people off one by one. I was closing down gaps like crazy on the fast descent- lots of women were just coasting, but I was pedaling and it helped me pick off a few more riders. I was surprised and pleased that my legs felt as good as they did considering how they felt in the warm-up. Eventually I caught up to Katerina, Catharine and Lea- the lead group that had a gap on the rest of the field. We had about 4 laps to go at that point, and I was glad that I had a few laps to recover before they started attacking with one or two laps to go.
Then, on the fast downhill, I looked down to see I had dropped my chain. I slowed a little and tried pedaling gently to get it back on, but I realized that it was wedged between the small chainring and the frame. I stopped and tried to be as calm as possible as I unlodged the chain and put it back on, but I felt like I was losing tons and tons of time. I got going again just as Heather and Eva passed me on the downhill. As I came through the start finish I had 2-to-go as I tried to reel in 4th and 5th place and salvage a spot on the podium. With 1-to-go I made contact, but I didn’t have enough of a punch to make it around them on the climb. We came together for a sprint finish and I ended up 6th. Oh well, at least I felt good.
Cross Country. Having good legs in the short track gave me a little confidence boost heading into the XC. And since I enjoyed it so much the day before, I ended up riding the 29er again (ok, I guess it was more than a sip of the kool-aid…). The start was nice and mellow- no one was acting crazy as we rode in a pack for a mile on pavement before we hit the dirt. As we came to the turn-off, the pace quickened as everyone jockeyed for position heading onto the dirt road. Catharine went to the front, but I went around her soon after- I knew there was a rutted downhill up ahead, and I wanted a clear shot at it. Everyone seemed content to sit behind me as we rode the rolling fire road, and I was first into the first section of singletrack. I tried to ride smoothly because it’s easy to over-cook those sandy corners. I stayed in front for the next singletrack climb, but I knew there was a good-sized group strung out right behind me. At the top of the climb, Catharine came around me, said that we had a gap and punched it over the next hill. I jumped on her wheel and glanced back to see Katerina a few seconds back. I figured she would catch up on the downhill. At the bottom of the downhill, Catharine and I were still together and we took turns pulling on the flat fire road sections before the feed zone.
After the feed zone we took turns at the front, and we seemed pretty equally matched. I wasn’t sure if she was saving something, so I figured I should probably try a little attack early rather than waiting until the last climb. I punched it over one of the rollers before a singletrack section, got a little gap and just tried to ride the singletrack as smoothly as possible. My little attacked worked and I was by myself as I started the long climb back to the finish. I have to admit, I was a little emotional crossing the finish line. The last few months have been full of ups and downs, and it was such a relief to be back at the front of a bike race! I was thrilled. After the race, I had just enough time to shower, change and hang out for about an hour before getting back in a chamois for the cyclocross race.
Finally! Another step in the right direction.
Yes, you heard me, the CYCLOCROSS race. This year was the first year the Sea Otter had a cyclocross race and since our team LOVES cyclocross any time of year, we all signed up. I had no idea what the course would be like, but I was pleasantly surprised by the course they put together- there were some long straightaways, 2 sets of barriers, a couple short uphills, some technical corners, a gravel pit and a run-up. Yep, they pretty much had anything you could want in a cross race. The course also went through the expo area, and there were a set of barriers right next to the food and beer tents. There were only 7 of us registered, so the officials decided to shorten our race which was fine with us, since most of us had already raced the XC earlier.
At the start line, a couple drunk guys asked if I would like some beer. Oh, what the heck, why not? I took a swig and thanked him. It was actually pretty good beer, so when he offered again I couldn’t refuse… Then he asked me if I would like a “salad feed” during the race. A salad feed? Was he kidding? “How about a DONUT feed,” I said, “or a BACON feed.” “Well, they aren’t giving donuts away free at the Clif Bar booth, but they are giving away free salad.” I laughed and had another swig of beer. Needless to say, when the race started and Teal went to the front and pinned it, I was suffering a bit… “Teal, you are killing me!” I yelled at her as I tried not to get dropped.
The three of us quickly separated from the rest of the field, and Teal finally eased up a bit. But then Katerina went to the front and punched it. Clearly, we were not going to make this easy on each other. Just before one lap to go, I saw a hand dart out into the course. The hand was full of…salad. I had to take it. I shoved the salad in my mouth. It was…surprisingly well-dressed (nice job, Clif Bar). Katerina was on my wheel and I told her, “I just took a salad feed!” She said, “is it all stuck in your teeth?” It was, and I just turned around and smiled at her. On the last lap, Katerina crashed in a loose corner and Teal and I went around her (after making sure she was ok, of course). I managed to put in a good hard effort and rolled in a few seconds ahead of Teal who finished second and Katerina followed a few seconds later. It was a really fun race, and even though it was kind of tough doing 2 races in one day, I think it was worth it if it introduces more people to ‘cross.
The handful of salad I was offered looked...messier.
Now I am home for a few days before heading down to Prescott, AZ for the Whiskey 50: a 50-mile mountain bike race that I have heard rave reviews about.

I used a really empty harddisk to install on ( I did: "dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024k count=10 of=/dev/hda").
* Although I did not want to install a bootloader, "clearpart --all --initlabel", kickstart did install the grub bootloader on the system.
* I also told kickstart not to install a mouse, "mouse none", but the autogenerated ks-file on the newly installed system has a mouse configuration line "mouse generic3ps/2 --device psaux". This means a mouse is installed, right??
Are these bugs I should file to bugzilla??

Q. What can I do to protect my teeth against decay?
A. As each of the adult molars (back teeth) appears, and if the tooth is free from decay, a ‘fissure sealant’ can be used to protect the tooth. The sealant is a plastic coating that fills all the little crevices in the tooth surface, creating a flat surface that is easier to clean. This is called a ‘pit and fissure sealant’. Adults can also have this treatment if the teeth are free from decay. Your dentist will discuss whether this is right for you.

Which would you prefer in the afterlife?
(1) A street named after you..
(2) A park named after you..
(3) A monument erected for you..
If I selected – (1) A street named after you: Well, I would never be able to walk on its sidewalk or even drive on it. So chuck!
If I selected – (2) A park named after you: Hmm… To think of it, this is better than (1) but to think of the fact that I have to bear little kids throw stones at the board which depicts my name… Bah… very bad after-life!
If you’d let me choose what should really be named after me, I’d prefer a BAR! Funny? Give it some more thought….
Every person who’d come to drink there, would end up blessing me for time in their life when they forgot all their problems!!! LOL!
I like the idea of having a bar put up in your name. So that even if I’d be dead, people could still come over to Al’s for a pint. What Happy Days those should be.

There is one big difference however with MySpace, unlike Facebook they do not require that a real name, gender or even country of origin is entered. Also, only information that has already been made public is accessible, so while it cuts down the time needed for advertisers to gather information about users, they aren’t gathering information they couldn’t data mine on their own.
Regardless of whether information is set to public or private, MySpace has vowed to stop sending UID’s (User IDs) when a site member clicks on ads.

Other Abstract Relapse prevention of drug addiction is an unavoidable issue within the field of drug dependence. Recently, dual‐process model provided theoretical explanations for the repeated behavior of drug relapse. This model suggested that two systems are involved with the maladaptive behaviors of long term intake of illicit drugs, that is, the interaction between the impulsive system and the reflective system. The main purpose of this study was firstly to understand the characteristics of cognitive deficits among drug dependent individuals during incarceration, and based on such understandings, to deliver inhibitory control training and mindfulness based relapse prevention (MBRP), targeting on the two processes (reflective and impulsive systems) of the dual processes model, and to compare the effectiveness of such interventions to the cognitive functions of drug dependent individuals during incarceration, which in the end is to explore more effective relapse prevention interventional method.
Firstly, compared to those serving short sentences, incarcerated drug dependent individuals (in average with 13 months duration of abstinence) were not found to possess cognitive deficits. This was perhaps due to the recovery of abstinence, that drug dependent individuals’ cognitive deficits were largely ameliorated.
Thirdly, for the ERP results, although no interventional effects were found in behavior results, ERP results showed positive interventional effects. In specific, both intervention groups showed positive changes in terms the contralateral delay activity index (CDA) of the delayed match to sample task, with the MBRP group showing better improvements. Such results supported that both interventions enhanced the cognitive inhibition function for the incarcerated drug dependent individuals. The MBRP group, in addition, showed earlier P3 latency in the NoGo condition during the Go/NoGo task, indicating the MBRP intervention accelerated the speed for conflict detection.
To sum up the above results, the current study concluded that 1) with comparative long duration of abstinence, the cognitive function of drug dependent individuals can be largely recovered; 2) intervention focused on the “reflective” system, more specifically inhibition, of the dual process model may require longer training duration and higher training intensity to reach proper interventional effects; while intervention targeting the “impulsive” system, for instance MBRP in this case, is perhaps a more effective approach.

Hypnosis works very well for both sports performance enhancement and motivation. The Olympic Committee has done studies on improving performance by using visualization techniques, a form of hypnosis, and found a huge benefit. The athletes that visualized achieving success in their sport were able to perform their sport much faster and better than the athletes that did not visualize.
I have been able to help improve the performances of clients in many different sports: tennis, archery, golf and baseall. I have also been able to help clients with other performance anxieties such as singing, performing in an orchestra and public speaking.
I have found hypnosis to be very effective in helping my clients to become motivated to shed behavior they didn't like that was getting in the way or their success. Using "Parts Therapy" we can often uncover the part of their subconscience mind that is holding them back.

I'm building a database to store student exam results so that transcripts can automatically generated. This is a final year project for university so the database will never be used. I am a complete amateur when it comes to designing databases.
I have attached the relational schema for the database. I'd be grateful if someone who knows about proper design could tell me if its ok (from the point of view referential integrity and normalization etc).
I'd really appreciate helpful comments.
1) In the OverallMarks table, MarkType refers to whether the overall mark (i.e. 1st honours, 2nd honours) is for JF (Junior Freshman), SF(Senior Freshman) and so on.
2) In the ExamResults table, YearOfStudy refers to JF, SF, JS or SS. Year refers to the actual year the exam was sat e.g. 2007.
3) The data in the database will be coming from Excel spreadsheets, so my database will not be doing any calculations on the data. That's why I'm storing the overall mark instead of calculating it from the ExamResults table.
First off, the only two tables that are in any sort of normal form are Students and Subjects.
2) Stick a primary key on everytable, even if you don't think you need one. For the tables that don't already have one an identity column should do.
3) I would make sure that every row in the OverallMarks table is for a year in which the student actually took a class. In sql, you could do this via a trigger or by denying insert/update access to the users and forcing them to use a stored procedure instead. you can't use checks because you're referencing another table, so it will be expensive one way or the other. perhaps it would be better done in the interface if you are not worried about bandwidth. The data is small so bandwidth shouldn't be to big a deal. If you take this route i would most surely slap an index on the StudentID column of of the StudentClasses table to speed it up.
You have a one-to-many relationship between StudentSubject and ExamResults. Is that a true representation of life, in other words can one student, for one subject, have more than one exam result (mid-term, finals, etc.)?
If yes (which I suspect), the ExamResults table needs one more bit of info about which exam this is. You could 1) add an ExamNo field in it; 2) add a table Exam with an ExamCode PK, and then an ExamCode FK field in ExamResults; 3) add an ExamDate field in ExamResults. Personally I would go for option 2 and list all possible exams in that school with fields like: ExamCode (PK), SubjectCode (FK), ExamDate, Building, Classroom, etc.
In any case, I agree with Aaron's suggestions above: remove StudentSubject table and replace with the modified ExamResults, make sure every table has a PK, and reinforce your constraints.
Sabatier, could you please post a new pic of your diagram (that is if you updated it with all the suggestions). I'm working on something similar in my class. Thanks bud.

A pub crawl (sometimes called a bar tour, bar crawl or bar-hopping) is the act of people drinking in multiple pubs, bars and clubs in a single night, normally walking from one place to the other. So basically a pub crawl is a night tour but instead of visiting monuments or museums, you are visiting pubs, bars and clubs. Pub crawls focus mainly on socializing and making new friends while drinking and partying!

Discussion in 'Current Forex Trading Signals' started by Crazy Cat, Mar 14, 2010.
This is Crazy Cat, with the review of the week.
This week, we were watching 6 economic indicators. 1 of them hit the triggers that I sent to you.
Well, first we have UK Industrial Production which actually did not hit my trigger but it moved a lot of pips. I still want to see it performing well a few more times before I will take it more seriously because so far it seems to be very unpredictable. Sometimes it does not move at all with bigger deviations and sometimes it moves a lot with small deviations.
NZ Interest Rate came out as expected so no news here. Australian Employment did not deviate enough to enter a reliable trade although it was very close.
NZ Retail Sales also did not deviate enough - and also came out conflicting. Good thing we did not enter here.
Canadian Employment Change came out slightly better than expected so another no trade here. Unemployment rate came out better than expected so they two together made a nice move. But I think USD/CAD simply wanted to move down and it was just an excuse because it's not normal to move that much with such small deviations, especially after what happened a month ago. No regrets here but I found it interesting.
Last was US Core Retail Sales. The trigger on it was 0.7 and at the time I was writing the message the expected number was 0.2 so we would enter buy if it came out at 0.9. The expected number actually went down to 0.1 before the news was announced, and we've got actual number of 0.8 so still the same deviation. USD/JPY went up about 30 pips but I got filled only one one of my positions (and I enter many) for a tiny bit of profit.
So it was another week with flat numbers and some surprises (UK Industrial Production and CA Employment Change). I made almost nothing, but that means I did not lose anything either so that's good.
Anyway, have a good Sunday!

Dr. Davletov’s team of researchers has developed a unique patented system of four distinct molecular helices which quickly assemble into a tight, rigid and stable nanostructure scaffold. The ends of the helices can be attached to a wide range of other materials, enabling these materials to be connected to each other in an ordered and hierarchical way. These connections are very stable, resistant to detergents and to temperatures up to 80C, but can also be controllably disconnected by applying suitable conditions. In effect the molecular scaffold can function as a strong but reversible staple between any two (or more) materials or molecules.
The helices are based on the naturally-occurring systems which fuse cell membranes together. They are very easy to attach to other protein molecules, and can also be connected to a flat surface and used to trap and immobilise particular proteins onto the surface. The scaffold can be used to bring new properties to molecular structures, for example adding luminescence, or creating molecular tags or barcodes. Long sequences of molecules can be joined together in a controlled order using multiple scaffolds.
There are many potential uses of the technology in any system where smaller components need to be combined to form larger structures. It is particularly useful for modular and combinatorial approaches – the researchers have calculated that a mixture of 100 individually-labelled helices would create 900,000 unique combinations. It also works well when used to bring together a number of distinct structures to combine proteins, create new drugs, add fluorofors, attach gold nanoparticles and many more.
In addition the scaffold can be used as a way to neutralise a toxic active molecule by dividing it into two non-toxic halves which can then be handled easily in a laboratory with no safety implications. The two halves can be recombined using the helical scaffold at the time that the toxic material is actually needed in its complete form, for example for medicinal use.
The challenge for the i-Team is to investigate the wide range of possible applications for this new and highly-innovation approach. By looking at applications ranging from the realms of physical nanostructures to the assembly of protein-based materials, and discussing the technology with relevant industry experts, the team will recommend the next steps and best practical uses for the researchers to focus their efforts.

Rajkummar Rao (born Rajkumar Yadav on August 31, 1984) is an Indian actor who appears in Hindi films.
After earning laurels for his portrayal of lawyer Shahi Azmi in biopic Shahid (2012), actor Rajkummar Rao wants to act in a biopic on late Steve Jobs, the co-founder of one of the world's leading IT giants.
Rajkummar Rao might have done a few intense roles in his career, but he says he wants to "be part of all kinds of cinema".
Apart from acting, National Award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao has other passions too.
Raj Kummar Rao: Man of many accents..
Nowadays, actors not only do research to prepare for their characters, but they also learn new skills to do justice to their roles.
He is one of the youngest National Award-winning actors in Bollywood. But, not many know that Raj Kummar Rao has been following a unique method to get into the skin of his characters from even before he ventured into films.
Raj Kummar Rao bagged a National Award for Best Actor for his film, Shahid (2012).
Rajkummar Rao rewinds to college..
Actor Rajkummar Rao, who won the Dadasaheb Phalke Foundation award for his film Citylights (2014), will now share tid bits of his journey in the film industry with students of his college.
The curious case of Rajkumar Rao!
For Rajkumar Rao, experimenting with film roles isn't a new thing. In fact, the actor enjoys taking risks.
Rajkummar Rao has "never downloaded" a pirated film off the Internet, he says. He's "bad with technology". Of course. But back in film school (he went to the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune, the veritable breeding ground for a lot of acting and directing talent in present-day Bollywood), he would watch films that his "friends and classmates would download".
We have seen and admired him in Shahid and Citylights, but Rajkummar Rao claims he also enjoys light-hearted roles like the one he plays in Sonam Kapoor-starrer Dolly Ki Doli.

What causes Anxiety & Panic Attacks?
Often people think that finding the cause or at rating point of troublesome anxiety will automatically lead to being able to manage anxiety. That’s not true. The cause or triggers differ from person to person.
When we’re not facing clear and imminent danger yet experience anxiety and panic then we have lost touch with the reality of the moment. Getting back in touch with the here-and-now is key to reducing anxiety.
I can help you to learn how to support yourself and to manage your emotional and body responses so you know how to clam down, stop panic attacks and develop long-term relief from the sort of anxiety that hinders rather than helps you.

Yah I was thinking of maybe 12 gigs of RAM for the quad. I heard that each core uses 3gigs of RAM (3x4cores = 12gigs). What type of computer you use to edit? How long does it take to render to H264 or a DVD?
Hi, I was wondering any of you have a MAC PRO? I'm thinking of getting a MAC PRO, but not sure which one to get. Is the quad 2.66 fast enough? I hate to get it and have to wait for hours to render video.
Thanks, any info would be much appreciated!
Aloha GB. My background is in Visual Communications, design and animation. I've been producing media with my company since 1996, in Hawaii since 1999. I've produced everything from Television docs, segments, graphics packages, FX, etc. to corporate and education media. We are currently developing a media-rich education system to bring more entertainment into classroom lessons.
I've done about 150 productions over the last 14 years here in Hawaii. Won the Hawaii Filmmaker's Award in 1999 for my work on Ka'ililauokekoa. Won a bunch of other awards for various projects which has done boo for raising money. Done docs, educational, news, industrial, features, websites too, but my fave is animation. Teach when I can at the community college.
I've been working with HIFF (Hawaii Intl Film Festival) for several years now, and i've managed to use my tech/web knowledge to streamline a lot of data gathering processes.
I have produced four websites for PBS films made for Pacific Islanders in Communications, so I am thrilled to join this group!
Woohoo. Us two! Let's make a feature!

It's often been said that children learn what they live. So if you're looking for a place to start helping your child build positive self esteem and self value, then you should show them your positive sense of self and strong self esteem. Be positive when you speak about yourself and highlight your strengths. This will teach your child that it's okay to be proud of their talents, skills and abilities.
Your child also benefits greatly from honest and positive praise. Find something about them to praise each day. You could even give your child a task you know they can complete and then praise them for a job well done after they're finished. Show your child that positive acts merit positive praise.
When your child's feeling sad, angry or depressed, communicate openly, honestly and patiently with them. Listen to them without judging or criticizing. They may not fully understand why they feel the way they do, so the opportunity to communicate with you about it may be what's needed to help them sort through a difficult situation. Suggest positive behaviors and options as solutions, and make sure to leave that door of communication open so they know the next time they feel badly, they can come to you for help and know that you won't judge or punish them for how they're feeling.
Teach your child the importance of setting goals and developing a plan to meet that goal and complete that task. Small projects are the best to start off with in the beginning. Ensure that it's an appropriate task for your child, and not too complex. Don't only give praise at the end of the project, but praise their accomplishments during the project as well.
Most importantly, tell your child "I love you" each and every day - many times throughout the day, in fact. When they've behaved badly, remind yourself that it's not them you don't like, only their behavior. Tuck short, sweet notes in their lunchboxes or coat pockets, or even send them a card in the mail. Soon, they'll learn to say "I love you" just as easily and honestly in return.

Holiday parties are in full swing and I always love serving beautiful dishes and drinks! I recently shared one of my favorite holiday cocktail recipes to the blog, Christmas Sangria! It is so tasty and my friends always ask me to please make it or bring it to our Christmas parties. This made me want to experiment with more delicious drink recipes for the holiday season and, as more of my lovely friends are having babies, I have been experimenting with delicious mocktail recipes as well! Here are 5 holiday cocktail and mocktail recipes to enjoy this holiday season!
This might be my new favorite holiday cocktail! Rim the edge of your glass with sugar. Mix equal parts Cranberry Sprite and Cranberry Juice, and add the Coconut Rum to your liking. I usually do a shot per serving for parties and then guests can add more if they wish! Also, can we please talk about how GORGEOUS these Mikasa Cheers Wine Glasses are? I even have the matching Christmas ornaments! They are perfect for entertaining because each glass has its own pattern and they look stunning! Okay, back to the recipe.
This is one of my new favorite holiday mocktails! The Coconut Lacroix gives you a hint of coconut just like the rum does in the cocktail version. It is absolutely delicious and looks fabulous!
This punch is absolutely delicious! The cinnamon stick gives the perfect amount of cinnamon without overpowering the drink and the sparkling cider and Moscato blend beautifully with the cranberry. I like to pour half a glass of Moscato and add equal parts Cranberry Juice and Sparkling Cranberry Apple Cider. This is definitely a tasty holiday treat!
This drink is just as yummy without the Moscato! Make it a delicious mocktail by adding Giner Ale instead of wine. It is so refreshing and will definitely put you in the holiday spirit!
This Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade is SO delicious! Rim the glass with a Cosmopolitan Sugar Rim. I bought mine from our local liquor store. Add equal parts Raspberry Lemonade and Sprite with two shots of Coconut Rum, or to your liking. Add a fresh raspberry to your straw and enjoy!
This is one of my favorite non-alcoholic drinks ever! I love to have restaurants make this as a treat! Just mix the Raspberry Lemonade with the Sprite and rim the glass with cosmopolitan sugar. It will definitely be a hit for all of your mocktail loving guests.
If you love apple pie and vanilla ice cream, you will love this holiday cocktail! Rim the glass with cinnamon sugar. Add two shots of Vanilla Vodka (or your preference) and fill the rest of the glass with Sparkling Apple Cider. Top it off with green apples, cranberries, and a cinnamon stick.
You can still have the taste of apple pie with vanilla ice cream without the Vodka. Instead of Vanilla Vodka, just add a vanilla syrup or flavoring to make it a mocktail! It looks absolutely stunning and tastes even better!
This holiday cocktail is perfect for Christmas and New Year’s Eve! It is also extremely simple! Add raspberry sorbet to a champagne glass and pour in the Prosecco! This drink looks amazing and tastes soooo yummy! If you are wanting an extra special treat for Christmas morning, add orange sorbet instead of rasperry sorbet for a yummy Mimosa!

An improved yarn feeder for a circular knitting machine for supplying a yarn to a knitting needle located below the yarn feeder, comprises a body (11) mounted to the circular knitting machine, and a yarn feeding section (12) extending from a lower end of the body having at least one aperture (13) for threading atleast one first yarn (5) above the knitting needle, guide roller means (3) for guiding an additional yarn (6, 7) above the knitting needle, and a jutting section (14) located at one end of the yarn feeding section, the jutting section having additional yarn directing means comprising a yarn directing surface (15) for positioning the additional yarn relative to the guide roller so as to allow the additional yarn to slide over the jutting section, without forming floss or, if floss is present, for retaining the floss on the jutting section, thereby preventing the yarn from rupturing during feeding to the knitting needle, facilitating a knitting operation by the knitting needle.
The present invention relates to an improved yarn feeder for circular knitting machine and particularly a yarn feeder that has a jutting strut to facilitate delivering a yarn to a knitting needle for knitting fabrics.
A lot of clothing people wearing these days is made from knitting fabrics produced by circular knitting machines. When a circular knitting machine proceeds knitting operations, there arc yarn feeders feed yarns continuously to knitting needles. The knitting needles stitch or tuck the yarns to loops for forming the fabrics desired. When knitting knitted or stretch fabrics, an additional stretch yarn will be provided to go through the yarn feeder to blend with other yarns to produce the stretch or knitted fabrics (such as for making underwear). However conventional yarn feeders have a lot of problems when feeding the stretch yam.
13' for yarns to pass through. The body 11 further has a slot 16 engaging with an adjusting element 2 for supporting a yarn roller 3 The yarn roller 3 guides the stretch yarn above the knitting needle to facilitate the knitting needle to pickup the yarn. However the yarn passing the roller tends to tremble and may cause the knitting needle missing or not completely picking the yarn. The resulting fabrics could have rough surface or voids, and have lower fabric quality.
To remedy the problems, some producers design the yarn feeding section 12 with a guide slot 17 as shown in FIG 2. The yarn leaving the roller 3 is directed to the guide slot 17 which may eliminate yarn trembling But the yarn tends to incur floss when sliding and scraping in the guide slot 17 for a long period of time The floss will accumulate in the guide slot 17 and could eventually block the slot and make yarn difficult to pass through the slot, and could result in yarn broken, or the floss will be carried along the yarn and knitted in the fabric and form snarls on the fabric surface. This also will result in poor fabric quality.
additional yarn directing means comprising a yarn directing surface for positioning the additional yarn relative to the guide roller so as to allow the additional yarn to slide over the jutting section without forming floss or, if floss is present, for retaining the floss on the jutting section, thereby preventing the yarn from rupturing during feeding to the knitting needle, and thereby facilitating a knitting operation by the knitting needle.
The present invention aims to provide an improved yarn feeder which has a jutting section located at one end of the yarn feeder The jutting section has a yarn directing surface to allow the third yarn sliding over in a friction contact without producing floss or having the floss retained on the jutting section so that the yarn may be fed smoothly to the knitting needle without rupturing and the knitting operation can be carried-out smoothly.
feeding section 12 has at least one aperture 13, 13' for a yarn to pass through. Another end of the yarn feeding section 12 has a jutting section 14 which has a curvy yarn directing surface 15 to facilitate the yarn passing. The body 11 further has a slot 16 formed at a selected location to engage with an adjustment element 2. There is a yarn roller 3 mounting on the adjustment element 2 for directing a knitting yarn below the jutting section 14 to feed the yarn for the circular knitting machine to use in the knitting operations.
There is an anchor member 4, which has a mounting section 41 for fastening to the circular knitting machine. The mounting section 41 has one end extended to form a support section 42 which has a sliding slot (not shown in the drawing) formed thereon. The body 1 1 of the yarn feeder 1 is pivolally mounted to the sliding slot of the support section 42. Hence the elevation of the yarn feeder 1 may be changed and adjusted on the anchor member 4.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, when in use, the yarn feeder 1 is mounted to the circular knitting machine through the anchor member 4. The first yarn 5 and the second yarn 6 are threaded respectively through the apertures 13 and 13'. The stretch third yarn 7 runs over the yarn roller 3, sliding over the yarn directing surface 15 of the jutting section 14.
the second yarn and the third yarn 5, 6, 7 for knitting the fabric. When the third yarn 7 slides over the yarn directing surface 15 of the jutting section 14, the third yarn 7 maintains a friction contact with the yarn directing surface 15. The third yarn 7 thus will be prevented from forming floss, or the floss will be retained on the jutting section 14. Hence rupturing of the third yarn 7 during feeding process can be prevented or minimized. The third yarn 7 thus may be delivered effectively above the knitting needle to facilitate smooth knitting operation and achieve better quality of the knitting fabric.
Referring to FIG. 6 for another embodiment of the invention, the jutting section 14 may be substituted by a strut 8, which may be integrally formed with the yarn feeding section 12. The strut 8 has a curvy yarn directing surface 81. When the third yarn 7 slides over the yarn directing surface 81 of the strut 8, the third yarn 7 maintains a friction contact with the yarn directing surface 81 and prevents the yarn from forming floss, or the floss will be retained on the strut 8. Hence rupturing of the third yarn 7 during feeding process can be prevented or minimized.
engage with the fastening section 82. Another alternative is to have the fastening section 82 running through the fastening aperture 121 and engaging with a screw nut (not shown in the drawing) for fastening the strut 8 to the yarn feeding section 12. When the third yarn 7 slides over the yarn directing surface 81 of the strut 8, the third yarn 7 maintains a friction contact with the yarn directing surface 81 and prevents the yam from forming (loss, or the floss will be retained on the strut 8. Hence rupturing of the third yarn 7 during feeding process can be prevented or minimized.
Referring to FIG. 8 for still another embodiment of the invention, the jutting section 14' located on the yarn feeding section 12 is thinner than the jutting section 14 set forth in the previous embodiments. The jutting section 14' has a normal yarn directing surface 15' formed on one side thereof. The third yarn 7 may form a friction contact with the yarn directing surface 15' and prevent the yarn from forming floss, or the floss may be retained on the jutting section 14'. Hence rupturing of the third yarn 7 during feeding process can be prevented or minimized.
a yarn feeding section extending from a lower end of the body having at least one aperture for threading a yarn above the knitting needle, and a jutting section located at one end of the yarn feeding section, the jutting section having a yarn directing surface arranged to either allow the yarn to slide over the jutting section without forming floss or to retain the floss on the jutting section, thereby preventing the yarn from rupturing during feeding to the knitting needle, and thereby facilitating a knitting operation by the knitting needle, said jutting section comprising a strut with a curved yarn directing surface, and said strut having a fastening section formed at one end thereof to engage with a fastening aperture formed on the yarn feeding section.

After breakfast I set off for the airport and caught a flight to Kerikeri and the Bay of Islands. I was delighted to see my boarding card - 5A, a window seat! As I board the plane I laugh, there are only 20 seats on this little prop, all of them are window seats!
The flight lasts 35 minutes and I seem to be the only one who has not done it before as everyone else sits and works or reads their newspapers, I am the only one with my face pressed against the window. The scenery is amazing, I want to ask them why they are not all as excited as me but I don't, I continue to look at the window and smile because they don't know what they are missing.

With so many myths about solar out there, let’s get to the truth.
At Direct Energy Solar, we talk to so many people who believe “facts” about solar that are just plain wrong. It’s understandable. Though solar has been around for decades, solar adoption is suddenly growing dramatically. In fact, 2014 was the biggest year for solar power , according to GTM Research.
So for many people – perhaps even for you! – solar is still new, which means the facts aren’t clear. Here are eight myths we regularly hear about solar energy, followed by the real solar truths you should know.
You don’t have to be like Bunny and Chip here to afford solar energy for your home.
TRUTH: Solar is affordable for almost any homeowner. Research from American Progress shows the majority of homeowners adopting solar have incomes in the $40K to $90K range.
You must have a roof that gets sun.
You can lease your system, for as little as zero ($0) down! This means you have no cash outlay, and no cost for installation. Your new payment will be less than what you are paying now, from the very first day.
Or you can buy your Direct Energy Solar system outright, using cash or, as many people do, a loan or home equity to finance the purchase at low interest rates.
The feeling you get when you see you’ve nearly eliminated your electrical bill – sometimes every single month – is pretty hard to beat. During some months, you might actually sell electricity back to your utility (depending upon the policies for your area).
Seriously – we’ll take care of installation, rebates, and more!
TRUTH: Direct Energy Solar makes it easy. We design your system for you. We take care of all the permitting. We secure available government rebates for you. We handle construction and the connection to your local utility power grid.
Pretty much all you have to do is say yes, sign some paperwork, and sit back and watch the magic take place. The sun hits your roof, turns into electricity, and pays your electric bill for you. It’s kinda magical.
TRUTH: There’s enough sunlight just about anywhere.
There isn’t a state in the United States that doesn’t receive enough sun for solar.
TRUTH: Waiting could cost you more. One of the things making solar affordable is that the federal government and many state governments, encourage homeowners to save on electricity by providing rebates and tax incentives to go solar. Some of those rebates are limited and will decrease over time.
So when you wait, you risk losing some of the incentives making solar so easy to afford today. And besides, the sooner you get your Direct Energy Solar system, the sooner you start saving.
TRUTH: Nothing could be easier. Direct Energy Solar is dedicated to helping you get the most benefits out of your solar home. We gives you a performance guarantee stating that your system will generate power at promised levels. Or we pay you the difference.
Solar systems seldom break down and require little maintenance. And Direct Energy Solar monitors your system remotely to make sure nothing gets in the way of your system generating maximum power. When something happens, we will likely know about it before you do! We’re on it.
Yes, you can look at solar energy as an investment in renewable energy for a greener future, but you also look at it as a way to save “green” now.
TRUTH: The primary reason people get solar is to save money on electricity. The fact that solar causes no earth-harming emissions is a bonus. Who in the world could object to that?!?
This is one of the things we love at Direct Energy Solar. We’ll help you save money, month after month, for decades. And we do it with a clean footprint.
More homes – not fewer – will have solar panels installed in the not-so-distant future.
TRUTH: Solar increases the value of your home. But don’t take our word for it: take the word of appraisers and energy researchers. Having solar on your roof can raise your resale price and shorten your home’s time on the market, all because there is a power plant sitting up on the roof that your buyer can take advantage of immediately.
The new owners will also save money, as soon as they move in.
TRUTH: Solar is an investment that pays you dividends every single month. In many states, an investment in solar produces a higher return than an investment in the S&P 500. But a solar investment is even better, because we guarantee its performance. You can’t get that from the financial markets!
It feels a bit like this: As your Direct Energy Solar system generates electricity, it’s generating money. Free money from the sun. Can’t beat that.
Do a little exploring. Request your free consultation online or talk directly with a representative at 1-800-903-6130. We’ll measure the sunlight on your roof for free and give you a power production/savings estimate we stand by so you know exactly what you’ll be saving before you sign. We help you understand all of your options and make it easy to make a decision. It’s easy to implement because we handle the entire project for you!
Life is short. The time to start saving on electricity is now. Talk to a Direct Energy Solar rep right away and find out your best way to go solar. It’s a decision you’ll never, ever regret.

Joker’s Partner-in-crime gets an expression pack of her own!
Note: We were given this BtAS Harley Quinn Expression Pack to review for the site. Our opinion is our own and does not reflect the opinion of the maker, or DC Comics in any way. This set was provided to us by the great crew over at DC Collectibles.
DC Collectibles have been making action figures and vehicles from the critically acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series. In the last year, DC Collectibles started releasing expression packs for the very popular characters from the series.
They’ve done Batman and Joker and now Harley has one. I must admit I haven’t seen the show in years but I do remember it very fondly. This pack is based on her appearance in the Animated Series rather than the New Adventures series. This is her iconic look as this was where she made her first appearance and is undoubtedly one of DC Comics most well-known characters.
Harley Quinn comes in the same style packaging that Joker and Batman did with the figure and all her accessories clear to see in the window, with the Batman Animated Series logo on the back of the inside of the packaging. The top of the packaging has the Batman Animated Series written on the top. On one of the sides there’s the Animated Series logo and on the back, there’s information on what this expression pack contains as well as an advert for the Joker one.
As I’m a big fan of the TV-series I have to say DC Collectibles knocked it out of the park with the sculpt of Harley Quinn and all her accessories. Everything looks like it ripped straight out of the television show. The work done by Irene Matar can’t be understated. The sculpts on the alternate heads are sublime, there’s so much life and emotion expressed in those sculpts. I really dig them, and the sculpts of her babies are fantastic as well!
Harley Quinn herself looks fantastic in her classic costume with the sculpted collar and cuffs to her outfit.
The paint job on the figure and all her accessories are amazing. There’s not much in the way of paint bleeding, scuffs or chips, It’s all fantastic. All her accessories are painted very well and saw no paint rub when I had Harley Quinn hold her various accessories.
The paint on all seven of her masked heads is fantastic. In every part of it and they all look very clean. What I really love though is the slight blue hue to her makeup on the masked heads. The unmasked head is fantastic as well.
The only paint chipping you’ll see is when you swap out the hands as the pegs are quite small, but that’s really only a very minor gripe with this fantastic set.
For the most part, the articulation is absolutely fantastic on Harley Quinn. She has a ball jointed head, ball jointed shoulders and elbows, swivel hinge hands, hinge and swivel hips, single jointed knees and swivel feet.
The figures articulation is very smooth aside from her ankle articulation. Because her feet are on swivels she can’t really stand all that well in certain poses which is a bit limiting. Though I can completely understand why they’ve gone with this design is because she has interchangeable feet.
Her articulation doesn’t hinder her holding some of her accessories in certain ways, She can hold the weapons and the jester cane very well.
Even her hyenas have articulation!. They have ball jointed heads, ball jointed tails, and swivel legs! that’s something I don’t expect many toy companies to pack in articulated accessories. They are fantastic as the articulation wasn’t really required but DC Collectibles went the extra mile with them!
As this is an Expressions pack you would expect Harley Quinn to come with accessories and she comes with plenty.
Angry, Scheming, Sad, Worried, Smile, Shocked, Smoochie and Harley Quinnzel head.
Six interchangeable hands: open, gripping and fists.
In all honesty, I haven’t seen the series in a while so I don’t recognize all the accessories. The heads are very easy to change over as they just pop off her ball jointed neck. The roller skates just pop on to the pegs on her feet once you remove her normal feet, I should add the wheels don’t move on them, they are just sculpted.
The fish head fits Harley Quinn really well, you just have to remove the head to put it on. But I did have some trouble posing her with it on, but if you use a stand it’ll look fantastic. I really like the eyes in the head it shows Harley is not too pleased having to wear a joke fish head.
The utility belt is very easy to slip on and off and the weapon attachment parts work very well and don’t slip off too easily. The Dynamic stand works very well and is a must-have for this set. I honestly can’t think of anything else that can be included with this set to make it any better. The sculpt and paint on all of her accessories are very accurate to the show and I could not be happier with them.
Overall I am really really impressed with this set. I only have one minor gripe with it, the limited ankle articulation. Though I can understand why they did that. Everything else about this figure is absolutely perfect. The sculpt, paint and accessories are amazing. Of course growing up watching the show, makes this set hit that nostalgic sweet spot. Never did I think we’ll be getting figures like these 2o-some years after the show aired.
I really do love this set as it’s absolutely fantastic and nearly flawless and I would love to get more of these expression packs and I hope some new ones in the pipeline.
This is an excellent set with a fantastic figure and some amazing accessories. Despite the minor gripe with her ankle articulation, this is a brilliant set! Highly recommended.

One of my all time favorite books is by a little known writer named Stanford Whitmore. I got a copy of his book Solo given to me by a neighbor who was cleaning out the house of another neighbor who had died. He gave me several boxes of miscellaneous books because he knew I read a lot. Most of the stuff was junk, but Solo was a gem.
It is about the self-proclaimed last individual on earth. The guy even has hand printed cards so stating. He lives his life for himself, stubbornly refusing to do anything that he does not wish to do. He is a genius jazz pianist who plays for the love of playing, refusing requests, content to play in dives or record shops, or wherever he can find an open piano. His self-centered ways make many enemies and some very concerned friends. He is discovered by a paranoid, professional jazz pianist who is always on the lookout for pianists better than him. He entices the reclusive pianist to start playing in clubs around Chicago, and soon the new guy becomes famous, for both his playing and his eccentricities. A local music business baron who was once turned down for a performance by the recluse takes an interest in the man's new-found fame and sets out to break his will. The ending once again proves the man's soul is his own.
I searched for years for more information about Stanford Whitmore, but could find no more than an obscure reference in a book of literary criticisms about Solo. One day I happened to catch the tail end of a movie about baseball player Ron LeFlore, starring Levar Burton, when I noticed Whitmore's name in the credits as screenwriter. I looked in a listing of members of the screenwriter's guild, and there he was. I sent a letter to the guild and they forwarded it on to Whitmore. He responded to my praise saying he lived only a few miles from where I had once lived, and that once, Michael Caine, the actor had told him that he too had been very much influenced by Solo. Unfortunately, Whitmore abandoned novels to become a fulltime screenwriter. Although he did write numerous screenplays, including Tora, Tora, Tora and Your Cheating Heart, the world of novels lost a great writer. If you ever see Solo in a used book store, grab it. You will not be disappointed.
Another favorite author is H. Beam Piper , known mostly for his 'Fuzzy' books about an alien race of teddy-bear like creatures. Piper wrote a number of other great science fiction books and had a real flair for realism and practical aspects of life on the alien frontier. One of my favorites started out as a short story called The Gunpowder Gods, and was later rewritten as a full length book called Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen. Piper supposedly committed suicide under mysterious circumstances after a rather nasty divorce and depression. Questions still exist about what really happened. He was a very knowledgeable man about arms and armaments and had a nice collection of medieval weaponry. His death at the height of his ability was a terrible loss to the art of science fiction writing. Much of his stuff is still available, so check him out.
Edgar Rice Burroughs is justifiably one of the most popular writers of all times. His books about Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, and Carson Napier of Venus will remain classics for all times. Don't forget to check out some of his other books like The Mad King, and The Rider. These historical fiction novels are often very funny, and like all Burroughs books, very exciting.
Another favorite is Tom Clancy , one of the most successful of modern writers. Still, his best book was his first, The Hunt for Red October. A classic cold war novel, it was riveting to the end. All great writers seem to exude a style all their own, and Clancy perfected the technique of rapidly shifting points of view while still maintaining a continuity to his plot. And Clancy may have done something few other writers can claim to have done, that is, to have changed history with his writing. His depiction of a US military with its advanced technology and competent leadership able to defeat the Soviet Union may have led the Soviets down the path to their historic self-destruction. He virtually created the concept of the techno-thriller and no one else has done it so well.
James Hogan is a favorite. Like Clancy, he makes technology seem real. His Minervan trilogy is a fabulous explanation for the rise of mankind from our apelike ancestors, having us evolve not on Earth but seperately as apes transported millions of years ago to a planet that later broke up and formed the asteroid belt. His other books are also quite excellent. Check him out.
Robert A. Heinlein is a favorite. One of the most influential of science fiction writers, Heinlein wrote a ton of books over a long career. He had a caring and decency about his characters and stories that is seldom seen in other writers. He still can't be beat.
Other favorites too numerous to go into detail about are Mickey Spillane, J.R.R. Tolkien , Poul Anderson, Larry Niven , Olaf Stapledon, Robert Lynn Asprin (another link), John D. McDonald , Alan Dean Foster , Ted Mark, and others. Check them all out.
As time goes by I will try to update this page with other writers as I think of them and provide links to other pages about them. If anyone knows of links to some of these writers, please email them to me.

Large amounts of text are added to the Web daily from social media, web-based commerce, scientific papers, eGovernment consultations, etc. Such texts are used to make decisions in the sense that people read the texts, carry out some informal analysis, and then (in the best case) make a decision; for example, a consumer might read the comments on an Amazon website about a camera before deciding what camera to buy. The problem is that the information is distributed, unstructured, and not cumulative. In addition, the argument structure - justifications for a claim and criticisms - might be implicit or explicit within some document, but harder to discern across documents. The sheer volume of information overwhelms users. Given all these problems, reasoning about arguments on the web is currently infeasible.
A solution to these problems would be to develop tools to aggregate, synthesize, structure, summarize, and reason about arguments in texts. Such tools would enable users to search for particular topics and their justifications, trace through the argument (justifications for justifications and so on), as well as to systematically and formally reason about the graph of arguments. By doing so, a user would have a better, more systematic basis for making a decision. However, deep, manual analysis of texts is time-consuming, knowledge intensive, and thus unscalable. To acquire, generate, and transmit the arguments, we need scalable machine-based or machine-supported approaches to extract arguments. The application of tools to mine arguments would be very broad and deep given the variety of contexts where arguments appear and the purposes they are put to.
On the one hand, text analysis is a promising approach to identify and extract arguments from text, receiving attention from the natural language processing community. For example, there are approaches on argumentation mining of legal documents, on-line debates, product reviews, newspaper articles, court cases, scientific articles, and other areas. On the other hand, computational models of argumentation have made substantial progress in providing abstract, formal models to represent and reason over complex argumentation graphs. The literature covers alternative models, a range of semantics, complexity, and formal dialogues. Yet, there needs to be progress not only within each domain, but in bridging between textual and abstract representations of argument so as to enable reasoning from source text.
To make progress and realize automated argumentation, a range of interdisciplinary approaches, skills, and collaborations are required, covering natural language processing technology, linguistic theories of syntax, semantics, pragmatics and discourse, domain knowledge such as law and science, computer science techniques in artificial intelligence, argumentation theory, and computational models of argumentation.

Domestic Violence charges can have life altering consequences for those accused. While this is a very sensitive issue to a lot of Texans, it is important that if you or a loved one has been accused of domestic violence, you must hire the right attorney to represent you on theses very serious charges.
Many who are arrested for Domestic violence have never been arrested before. Often individuals who are arrested for Domestic Violence are left with their relationship with their significant other in shambles, the prospect of losing their job, and child protective services may be involved. Aside from the devastation in their personal life, they are also a stranger to the criminal justice system and may not know entirely what they are facing.
If you or a loved one has been arrested for Domestic Violence, it is important that you contact a lawyer who is experienced and will guide you through this difficult terrain, while defending you against these serious charges.

Pearls of Australia has announced the launch of the first ever pearling tourism in New South Wales. Broken Bay Pearl Farm, an hour north of Sydney in Woy Woy, opens its doors from this December.
Broken Bay Pearl Farm Tours invite guests to board a 10m catamaran where an experienced farm skipper introduces you to the pearl of New South Wales, until now a best-kept-secret hidden among the local 150 year-old Rock Oyster industry.
On board the cruise, guests will be immersed in the virtues of the pristine marine environment that give birth to our immaculate oysters.
Incredible marine wildlife including pelicans, turtles and stingray as well as abundant fish are a living display of the thriving central coast marine ecosystem, essential to the pearl farm’s success.
Throughout the experience, Broken Bay Pearl Farm’s pearling team will reveal the intricacies of pearl farming before returning to land where guests will take part in a very special hands-on session with the pearl harvest.
Each will be offered a selection of Akoya and South Sea pearls while an expert shares the seven virtues that underpin the true value of these farm-direct pearls of Australia.
Broken Bay Pearl Farm and Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm located in the Kimberley Coast of Western Australia both offer the rare opportunity for the public to experience an authentic, working pearl farm. Together they form Pearls of Australia.
Managing Director and third generation pearl farmer James Brown explains why opening these farm-gate experiences to the public are so important to the future of Australia’s pearling industry which produces the world’s most valuable pearls, in unique marine environments on opposite sides of the country.
“To discover how a pearl of Australia is preciously cultivated in pristine marine environments is to experience something very rare and special, and allows you to understand the value and beauty of these high-quality gems,” said James. Akin to the ethics of Pearls of Australia which began with Cygnet Bay Pearls, Broken Bay’s farming processes are environmentally sustainable.
Great pride and care are taken to maintain the pristine waters in which the farm is situated, creating the perfect edu-tourism opportunity for local and visiting guests from around the world.
“As an entirely brand new tourism offering that celebrates a world class product produced on the Central Coast, we hope to see Broken Bay Pearl Farm offer a new attraction to the region, as well as a complimentary value-add to existing industry offerings such as wineries and harvest trails,” said James.
Broken Bay Pearl Farm Tours follow the demonstrated success of Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm, Australia’s original family-owned and operated pearl farm which first opened its doors to the public in 2009, where guests are given a “back-stage” look at the highly secretive industry and an opportunity to purchase pearls directly from the waters in which they are farmed.
While still operating as a working pearl farm, Cygnet Bay has since grown to become a “must see” destination on the Kimberley Coast, featuring a homestead restaurant, infinity pool with several styles of accommodation, and has been the recipient of many esteemed tourism awards.
Established in 2003, Broken Bay pearl farm is the only pearl producer in New South Wales, and has continually produced high quality pearls since then.
The Broken Bay Akoya pearl is exceptionally high quality and rare, believed to be the premium Akoya on the global market today due to its longer cultivation, extraordinary lustre and wide range of unconventional natural colours.
Pearls of Australia offers a world-first with certification of provenance and purity – two additional virtues of our two native Australian pearl species.
The first tours to Broken Bay Pearl Farm will depart Woy Woy on Wednesday 5 December, to which media and local tourism agencies are invited to familiarise.

In this project I have documented the final years of my Grandmother’s life as she was suffering from a degenerative brain disease. The images were made during moments of conversation, gesture, and experiences of death. The variety of photographic approaches towards the subjects are representative of a frantic need to record all aspects of my knowledge of her (whether performative or candid) in a hopes that these moments could be pieced together again, attempting to construct a more accurate portrait of how I would remember her. My Grandmother and I had a tumultuous relationship, never thoroughly understood, and missed connections of tastes and values flourished throughout our entire lives. Looking back on this project, the photographs reveal a deeper language we had been sharing for years, constituted of mutual vulnerability and trust, acted upon even in death.

Mom, the Intern: A story about tables.
When Dill and I got married, his siblings went in on a wonderful folding table and set of chairs as one of our gifts. It worked great in all of our apartment situations and we really loved it.
There's baby Bubby and me making gingerbread cookies on it. You can see how snazzy it is for a folding table.
When we moved back from Utah, my parents kindly gave us their old dining table-- a real dining table with cushioned chairs and all that jazz. But it was about 10 years old at the time and it sagged in the middle, so we had to prop that part up with a 2x4. Aside from that inconvenience, we liked our table and got a lot of good use out of it.
This was in our Mesa apartment, just after we moved in. Take note of the money on the table. What was it doing there and not in my wallet? And can you spot the 2x4?
The hand-me-down table came with us to our first home, which we purchased almost exactly two years ago. It was fine enough for me, but my mom hated it. It seemed like every time she came over, she'd chide me about how I needed to get a new dining table already because this one had already been through at least three owners (besides us) and the 2x4 was "just plain white trash." But there were a few problems with that idea: 1) we had just bought and fixed up a home so we had a small budget to work with and 2) I couldn't find anything I liked at a price I could afford. I wanted something unique but not over-the-top; something homey but not too rustic; something timeless but also current.
Dill and I searched endlessly for a non-hillbilly dining set. We went to all your traditional furniture showrooms but we never found one we really loved. Plus, I couldn't stand being followed around by sales associates every time I'd walk into a store. They'd always pressure us and breathe down our necks while we tried to look. So then we tried IKEA, but there just wasn't anything there I loved. Also, I'm not sure IKEA is the ideal place to find sturdy furniture, and I was hoping our new table could hold up for a good decade at least.
I had heard about this local furniture dealer called Cortate. They were located in a strip mall and the store had no real showroom -- just a bunch of catalogs to look through. But their prices were notoriously low, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
The thing I love most about Cortate is the employees are there to facilitate your browsing and purchasing and nothing more. No pressure to buy. No following you around with a clipboard. Just helpful people who help you order furniture. My kind of shopping experience.
Anyway, we had zeroed in on the table we wanted, but life happened and other things had to come first. So the table would just have to wait.
I KNOW, RIGHT?!?! So perfect.
And here's the best part: This same dining set, at its very cheapest, retails at $875 online.
So, if you're looking for a good deal on furniture and you live in the greater Phoenix area, try Cortate Furniture! I love almost everything about it. The one downside is you can't usually see their merchandise before buying it (they do have fabric swatches if you're ordering custom upholstery). For some people, this is a must. For me, it isn't. Cortate definitely offered the best prices of any vendor we visited which was probably the biggest draw.
As for me, I'm adoring my new table. How could I not? And when my mom comes over, she won't have to censor her thoughts about my ugly table anymore!
I have some friends up here who love that place and go down just to shop there. The owners used to live up here by us, I think. Or maybe he just works there. Who knows! But I have heard great things about it. We were in your neck of the woods for soccer on Saturday. Quail something park. Off 202 and greenfield.
hooray for new (grown-up) furniture. it looks great in your house.
That is a beautiful table! And a great deal to boot! I'll have to check it out when we get back to AZ.
I love your new table! I don't see a 2x4 on the old one though - am I blind?
What a darling table! I LOVE it!

riches in televisions first global treasure hunt.
requiring brains, stamina, passion, and teamwork.
They also placed a notice in Marine Corps News and held more open casting calls in various cities, including Boston and San Francisco. I was suckered-- er, I mean, invited to join a team as their third (does that make me Ender? would anybody at NBC get that reference?), but I'm still skeptical about the show actually happening-- and pretty sure they'll never call us back.
Hey, I'm a realist. I'm not interesting on camera. Why do you think I wanted to be a voice actor? And even though they claim they want intelligent people who can solve more difficult puzzles than the fluff found on "The Amazing Race," they're not going to want Gamers who can burn through any clue in minutes. That's not good television.
When lay people think the junior-grade riddles in National Treasure "are so difficult that no sane forefather could have conceivably believed that anyone could actually follow them," I have no confidence that a silly reality show will ever be able to challenge real Gamers.
Which is fine. We'll make our own fun, as we always have. Nobody does it better.
As long as they have something quotable, like "Treasure! I'll show you MY treasure!", stupid Americans will watch. Many Australians too, and all the Welsh.
what's going on with this show? are they still going to do it? they kept extending the deadline and then seemed to be "recruiting" certain types. the concept sounds great so I hope it's a go!
I'm looking forward to the online game portion of the show. I'll keep you posted.

We are in an age when everybody is humming the relaxation mantra and frequently discussing the benefits of meditation. However, much of the discussion on most forums is focused on relaxation for adults. Recent research suggests that young children and teenagers benefit from methods of relaxation; not only do such exercises calm them down but also equip them with the ability to cope well with various life stressors.
In the modern age, it is a myth that children’s lives are carefree and they can do whatever they want. If anything, their lives are far from carefree, what with the constant stream of instructions directed at them every day. A recent research suggests that many schoolchildren suffer from ‘deep anxiety’, and get as overwhelmed as their parents or other adults, when bombarded with instructions by their parents or teachers. An average school going child has to face several stressors every day. Children are not able to cope with the stress, and other negative emotions, such as fear, anger, or even sadness, if exposed to them for a long period of time.
– Just like in the case of adults, a relaxed child is able to think more constructively and positively. Tension affects not only an adult’s performance at work but also affects a child’s performance at school, his/her interaction with adults and peers, and his/her self-perception.
– Relaxation activities help relax children’s muscles, calm the nervous system, boost the immune system and improve sleep.
– Relaxation sharpens concentration, promotes positive thinking and improves memory.
– Relaxation is also responsible for increased self-confidence, self–esteem, creativity and imagination in children.
– Introducing relaxation exercises in the daily schedule of children, will promote their awareness of a healthy lifestyle and equip them with a life – long strategy that aims to improve their well – being.
– Deep Breathing: The simplest way to calm down is by taking deep breaths in 3 easy steps: Take a deep breath in; hold it for a moment; and release it slowly. This can be repeated as many times as needed.
– Laughter: In the mad rush to keep up with grades, learn a new set of skills every month, be the best and the brightest child in the school, and similar pressures, children often forget to laugh. As a parent, you can help your child rediscover this simple yet essential pleasure of life. Crack jokes, watch funny cartoons, or just laugh without a reason. Laughing out loud relaxes our muscles and calms us down.

When I first discovered the Whole30 and Whole9 I searched everywhere for blogs that chronicled their entire Whole30, so I really thought it would be helpful if I were to chronicle my Whole30 every day.
Breakfast was some scrambled eggs, bacon and some leftover coconut almond green beans from Well Fed And a cup of black coffee, of course.
Next up for lunch were some paleo salmon cakes, mixed greens, cucumbers and tomatoes. The salmon cakes were quite easy to make; canned salmon mixed with some sweet potatoes, dill, coconut flour and eggs to bind everything today. You can easily make paleo or whole30 compliant fish cakes using different kinds of fish. I've done these with tuna before and they were quite tasty.
And for dinner black kale and a grass fed burger topped with guacamole, a fried egg and hot sauce.

Want To See Over Ten Minutes of Footage From Possibly the Greatest Zombie Video Game Ever???? Sure You Do!!!
So we have covered the upcoming zombie video game ‘Dead Island’ before. You can see our coverage HERE. This game looks to be the ultimate zombie survival game to come out past, present, and future. Deep Silver Brand Manager Vincent Kummer shows us over ten minutes of gameplay and some of the cool features you can expect from this one of a kind zombie game.
From what I saw in this trailer/walk-thru/review is something spectacular. It looks very realistic. I watched the main character take a bat riddle with long nails at the tip of it beat down the undead. Now like most zombie games I have seen, when this happens, you just get some blood splatter and their limbs move. ‘Dead Island’ takes it a step further. Depending on where you hit the zombie with bat with nails, that part of the zombie’s body will be destroyed. For example; if you hit the zombie in the left side of the stomach, that left side will be damaged and you will see the flesh ripped away and bones and blood. You can decapitate limbs, heads, and crush heads. It is so GLORIOUS. I also noticed that you can drive cars in this game and run over zombies and even punch out your windshield to see better. It looks so badass.
Check Out The Amazing New Trailer for ‘Dead Island: Riptide’!!!
Enjoy the new Trailer for ‘Maggie’, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and a Zombie Apocalypse!
‘World War Z’ Doesn’t Look Half Bad!!!

The month of February was full of programs and activities organised by Muslims by themselves as well as in collaboration with other communities and the mainstream Australians working for a positive change in the society.
It seems that the time for protests, winging and demanding is gradually being replaced by productive efforts, collaboration and working together in a smart way so as they bring benefits to our own community and Australia as a whole.
My calendar was full during the month of February mostly on weekends but also during the week attending conferences, festivals, expos, picnics, award ceremonies and cruises. Punctuated with these were occasional serene moments as well including funerals, cemeteries and visiting the sick all part of living a life.
The March issue of AMUST is full of reports on these positive activities with great photos showcasing a collage of month-long living a positive life and sharing it with our readers.
The two-day Halal Expo at Rose Hills Gardens was a great success attended by a diversity of people with halal businesses showcasing all aspects of halal way of life. A photo spread is published at the centrefold. Enjoy.
On the other hand, I had the honour to attend the funeral of a family friend and fellow interfaith worker, a Christian at Gosford Anglican Church, meeting and networking with many people of a different faith and reflecting on this experience and documenting it.
Cruising around Sydney Harbour with our elderly and their families, singing, eating, joking and sharing their thoughts was a great pleasure and time well spent.
We attended the Zest Awards meeting a large number of high achievers from Western Sydney and networking with them.
I attended a meeting on Islamophobia at ISRA discussing what to do next after the publication of the report and what strategies to adopt for the reduction of hate and bigotry in our country.
The two-day symposium on the Agency of Muslim Women at Darling Harbour was eye-opening and a proud moment listening to a diversity of views from highly talented Muslim high achievers, mainly women, from all over Australia.
Lastly attending the Islamic Education Forum at Arkana College and meeting up with leaders in education associated with Islamic schools in Australia was highly stimulating. I had the pleasure of catching up with people who used to be at our youth camps during their school years and are now principals and teachers at Islamic schools.

We love getting to scan adorable babies in the womb! 3D/4D/HD Ultrasound has come so far. It is amazing to see all the sweet little details of each baby that comes to First Glimpse. From the pouty lips to the 10 fingers covering their faces or playing with their umbilical cords. There is a few things each Mom to be can do to get ready for their scan to help make their pictures that much better.
With 3D/4D and now HD we have to start with a good 2D picture, the original black and white ultrasound you’re used to. Having good amniotic fluid levels is the most important component. While all pregnant women get sick of hearing drink more fluids, with these scans you really need to take extra precautions the few weeks before to double up on that. The more amniotic fluid you have, the clearer the picture can be. The baby will also have a bit more room to move around when your levels are a bit higher than normal. So one to two weeks prior to your 3D/4D/HD scan, Moms, you want to drink extra fluids, especially water.We recommend one week prior, but if you can slowly start building it up two weeks before thats even better. We do understand its hard to remember and hard to do when you're so far along, so all we can do is gently suggest.
The main thing we always get asked is “should I have eaten something?” Well this is kind of hard to answer; every baby is different. Babies do feed off of what Moms eats but its actually not the food we eat that is effecting them to move around. Babies are right next to Moms intestines, and a little while after we eat our bodies start digesting. Digestion is not a quiet process and since babies are right next to the whole thing those noises are what wake them up. So I always suggest eating like you normally do. You don’t want to eat a Thanksgiving size meal because sometimes babies do go into a food coma and take a wonderful nap, making it almost impossible to get them to move around. You DO want to eat something though, don’t come hungry! If you know a little sugar or caffeine does get your baby moving around by all means eat or drink a little of that before you come in. Don’t rely on what we have to get the baby moving because sometimes it won’t even effect the baby till a little while after you leave.
The last thing is “how far along should I be when I come in?” This really is baby growth pending but our suggested time at First Glimpse is 28-34 weeks. Babies do not start getting fat on their little bodies until 24 weeks, but even still you want to give them a little time to grow and get that cute round face you are hoping to see. If you know you have an Anterior Placenta (meaning it is in the front) then you want to try to come for your 3D/4D/HD scan around 27 weeks. (We cannot tell you whether it is in the front, that is a question for your Doctor. Please understand we are Non-Diagnostic and cannot give information about the health and well being of your little one.) Before 24 weeks plain and simple babies do look like aliens, they cannot help it. They are skin and bones and still developing, so as hard as it is we do suggest waiting and letting them get cute and chunky! We have gotten some great pictures up to 38 weeks but normally we do not suggest it because babies start getting into birth position, head down facing Moms back which is away from the camera. They also are very tight in there, balled up in the fetal position, making it hard to see them.
So to recap Moms, drink plenty of fluids a one to two weeks prior, make sure to eat something before you come in but not a ton, and also try to come in the optimal 28-34 week gestational time and we will hopefully get some wonderful pictures of your sweet baby! We hope this helps give everyone a little more confidence and excitement when coming in for their Ultrasound.
Give us a call to schedule your appointment with us. Or you can schedule yourself through our website.

Apr 8 What's Wrong with Judging Others?
Why does Jesus say we shouldn't judge others? Does this mean we can never talk about problems we see in the world or help other people with their problems?
In this interview, Jen Willis shares with us what it is like to a adopt a child with special needs and what it means for you, your family, and the child you are adopting.
How, exactly, might God relate to moral values? Does He create them out of thin air, or do they already exist and He merely recognizes them?
Can evolution produce moral values? And, if it can, are those moral values objective or subjective?
What are objective and subjective moral values, and do both of them actually exist?
This is the beginning of our first look into the question of God's existence. Here, we're asking the question, "Is the human machine set up to function in certain ways or not?" Below are a couple resources that might help you in your search for answers.
John DeLockery shares how he and a team of people get food to the hungry in a unique way.

It seems like winter is the longest season for many reasons. It’s hard to do anything outside because of the cold air. The days are shorter, which means that it gets darker sooner. This is somewhat depressing for many people who enjoy the longer days of spring and summer. You can begin preparing close to the end of the season for summer and warm weather.
On warmer days in the latter stages of winter, begin opening the windows. This will allow for the musty smell to escape. You can also add more plants to the home, which will increase the amount of oxygen for those who live in the house. Begin changing the sheets and the decorations in the home to lighter colors to give a fresh appearance and feeling, putting you in the mood for the new season. A storm door with a screen on it will allow for you to let fresh air inside while also letting natural light in as well.
Before the heat settles in during the summer, you want to check the HVAC system to ensure that it’s working properly. Professionals like One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning can come out to check the filters and the components that control the system to see that everything is working in a proper manner. This is a good time to check the hoses and vents as well. Most companies will look at the outside unit along with the details inside to see that there hasn’t been any storm damage or any wear and tear from the cold.
From making sure you have all of the tools that are needed to mow, weed eat and plant flowers to getting your garden started, the last few weeks of winter are a good time to make sure the yard will be ready. Start fertilizing, sow grass seeds, and start aerating the yard to ensure that you will have a green lawn. You can also start to plant flowers and get the beautifying details in place, such as a new bird bath or decorative stakes. This is a time when you can examine the yard to see what you need to focus on when warm weather arrives, such as trimming limbs from the trees or even cutting down a tree or two if it’s dead.
The winter season won’t last long. Before you know it, you can start getting the home ready for the warm months of summer. With bright colors and fresh air, you’ll be able to enjoy time outside along with a relaxing atmosphere inside the home.

PNTL has successfully completed over 180 shipments of used nuclear fuel, vitrified high-level waste, mixed oxide (MOX) fuel and plutonium since it was established in 1975.
The PNTL ships were designed after wide consultation with Lloyds of London, the Salvage Association and leading salvage companies. They have cargo compartments protected by a double hull configuration and duplication and separation of all essential systems. This means that if any important system fails during a voyage, there is always a back-up ready to be brought into operation.
Each PNTL ship undergoes regular maintenance inspections and operational equipment is checked and tested prior to each voyage from PNTL’s home port of Barrow, England.

‘Lobster War: The Fight Over the World's Richest Fishing Grounds’ documents the effects of climate change on the lobster industry, as experienced by lobstermen warring with each other off the Maine coast.
As climate change continues to warm the water of the Gulf of Maine, lobster populations are moving northeast and are exploding in the gray zone surrounding Machias Seal Island, an area claimed by both by the United States and Canada. The film "Lobster War: The Fight Over the World's Richest Fishing Grounds," which documents the struggle between Maine and Canadian fishermen for the lobster catch that has come to represent Maine, will be shown Sunday at Railroad Square Cinema in Waterville, featuring lobster fishermen and their boats from both sides.

The waters off Machias Seal Island along the Maine coast are beautiful, but the war between U.S. and Canadian fishermen fighting over territory where climate change has caused the lobster population to explode is decidedly ugly.
That conflict is portrayed in vivid detail in “Lobster War: The Fight Over the World’s Richest Fishing Grounds,” an award-winning documentary film co-directed and produced by David Abel, a Boston Globe reporter, and Andrew Laub, a writer, editor, filmmaker, cinematographer, visual effects artist and soundtrack composer.
The film will be shown at 7:15 p.m. Sunday at Railroad Square Cinema in Waterville. Abel will engage in a question-and-answer session with the audience via Skype after the showing.
The 2018 film focuses on the clash between the U.S. and Canada over 277 square miles of ocean off the 20-acre Machias Seal Island that both countries have claimed since the end of the Revolutionary War, according to Abel. U.S. lobster fishermen traditionally fished the so-called Gray Zone, but as the Gulf of Maine has warmed faster than nearly any other water body on Earth, the lobster population there has grown significantly, prompting Canadian fishermen to assert their sovereignty there, he said. Fighting between Canadian and American fishermen over the territory has been ongoing, with threats of violence and sabotage.
Abel, an environmental reporter who has long covered fisheries issues, said in a telephone interview Wednesday that “Lobster War” shows how the warming waters of the Gulf of Maine are affecting lobster, Maine’s iconic species, whose population for the last 15-plus years has boomed, partly as a result of climate change.
“My interest was in looking at how climate change has exacerbated this centuries-old dispute, because Canada and the U.S. both claim the waters around Machias Seal Island,” Abel said.
Since the lobster surge and the value of the catch increased, the area has attracted more Canadian fishermen. Lobstermen on both sides have accused each other of stealing lines and gear and setting their traps on top of the other’s, according to Abel. One U.S. fisherman reportedly lost a thumb as he was trying to disentangle traps from Canadian lines.
Abel was part of the team that won a Pulitzer Prize for breaking news in the Globe’s coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings. He produced and directed two films about the bombings. He and Laub also co-directed and produced “Sacred Cow,” a film about the collapse of the cod fishery in New England.
Abel, of Boston, and Laub, of Philadelphia, completed “Lobster War” last summer after traveling numerous times to Maine and Canada to work on the film, which premiered last fall at the International Maritime Film Festival in Bucksport. The documentary was named runner-up to the grand prize at that event. It also won Best New England Film at the Mystic Film Festival. It is being shown at film festivals around the country and enjoying positive and enthusiastic response from audiences, according to Abel.
Mike Perreault, executive director of the Maine Film Center, which owns Railroad Square, said he is looking forward to screening “Lobster War” Sunday at the cinema.
Tickets are available online, in advance of the screening, at railroadsquarecinema.com, or at the door, according to Perreault. Regular admission costs $9.50. The charge is $7.50 for students and seniors.
Abel, meanwhile, said he is excited that the 74-minute documentary will be screened in central Maine.
“We’re thrilled that this great theater is going to be showing our film, and we hope lots of people come and get to appreciate the film,” he said.
Dozens of people were interviewed on both sides for the documentary. People tend to talk about climate change in an abstract way, so it is often difficult to understand how it has affected people’s lives, according to Abel. But in the territory where the conflict is occurring around Machias Seal Island, climate change is not some abstract, theoretical issue, he said.
Abel said he thinks anyone who lives in Maine should be concerned about the fate of lobster, on which the state has become increasingly dependent.
Machias Seal Island is about 10 miles off the coast of Maine in the Atlantic Ocean and 12 miles from the Island of Grand Manan, which is part of New Brunswick. The U.S. and Canada both claim Machias Seal Island.
