I finally sat down and finished the shirt I started for the Boy Challenge at Project Toddler Runway with Shwin and Shwin. Funny, it's been sitting in my "to finish" box for over a month just needing sleeves sewn on and a few buttons, most of which I completed while the kids ate breakfast. For the love of procrastination! Argh.
Ah well. It's done now, and I am so pleased! (So is Liam!)
I created the pattern using my new favorite book Metric Pattern Cutting for Children's Wear and Babywear by Winifred Aldrich as a guide. This book basically shows you how to use body measurements to create a basic block or sloper that can then be altered to create a variety of patterns. It's kind of like a cookbook for sewing. There's still altering for personal taste or fit, but it saves SO much time. I have learned so much about pattern-making from it.
The thing I love about a military shirt is the details, and I went all out on this one: a yoke, patch pockets with flaps, double top-stitching, sleeve plackets, and epaulets. I've always loved fussy little details, but I don't get a chance to use them much in boy's wear. Honestly, Liam is happiest in a knit shirt with some licensed character plastered across the front. He's still trying to get me to put a Lego Hero Factory character on this one.
this great tutorial which includes a free pattern.
This shirt has a very narrow black and white stripe pattern that reads as a solid gray from a distance and does some funny things when being photographed. It was a Walmart find for $1 a yard that's been in my stash for a while just begging to be made into this shirt. (You thought I was going to say that was the best part, didn't you? What? Have I done that before?) This time, instead of the price or the fact that it came from my stash, the best part is that it's a cotton polyester blend so it won't need ironing all the time! Yay!

Michael Doyle last night credited manager Nigel Clough with rescuing Sheffield United's season, writes James Shield.
And the former Republic of Ireland international, speaking ahead of tomorrow's meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers, revealed his no-frills approach has been responsible for transforming a team seemingly destined for relegation into one now chasing glory on two fronts.
United enter the meeting with Kenny Jackett's side chasing an 11th victory in 12 outings and having kept eight consecutive clean sheets.
Doyle, outlining the changes Clough has implemented behind the scenes since taking charge five months ago, said: "Everything has changed so much after the gaffer came in. The first thing is he's got a great team spirit and brought all of the lads together.
"We've got a smile on our faces and we enjoy coming into work. It sounds easy but, unfortunately, football isn't always like that.
"I've been at some good clubs and got promoted with Leeds but, I can honestly say, this is the best I've experienced."
United, who face Hull City in the FA Cup semi-finals on April 13, were bottom of the table after being beaten at Molineux less than four weeks before Clough's appointment. They enter their game against the League One leaders, which marks the start of the club's 125th anniversary celebrations, placed 10th and intent on mounting a late challenge for the play-offs.
"He is the boss and he calls the shots," Doyle said. "But he's got a great staff who, like him, are great with the lads and can share a laugh and a joke.
"But, when it comes to it, you don't want to let him down. That's why you've got lads playing through injuries for him and, if something is wrong, then you get told in no uncertain terms.
"If you're not mentally strong then I don't think you'd survive long here now. We're willing to do whatever it takes.
"We're digging deep and, no disrespect to anyone, but I think we've turned a corner."

that was fun to read. i've been to the sistine chapel and the vatican (yeah, i'm bragging. Frankie took me to Rome on our honeymoon and since the vatican is an independent country, i actually went to 2 countries on my honeymoon!). they are much less impressive than you think. it was my least favorite part about our sight-seeing. also, finding out that the euro is worth more than the dollar (at that time it was surprising, now, not so much) was pretty disappointing! Haley, you've killed a chicken?!?!?! man, you think you know someone...

A Cornell University chemist said he stands by test results indicating the racehorse Lashkari was drugged in last November's running of the Breeders' Cup Turf Classic even though the test results are being widely disputed. George A. Maylin, director of Cornell's Equine Drug Testing Laboratory, said post-race tests showed that a urine sample taken from the horse contained traces of the drug etorphine. But an error by a Cornell lab technician made it impossible to pursue the drugging charge, and state racing officials have restored $100,000 in purse money to the horse's owner.

Several times in our lives together, my husband and I have done a "5 year plan" for ourselves. I'm not going to spend much of this post convincing anyone about Why. I'll just say this – you may have heard the line "most people spend more time planning their vacations than planning their lives". That's not how I want to live my life – I don't want to wake up and find out that I've run out of time – I want to live it with intention.
Last year, we realized two things: we hadn't gone on an international vacation in 5 years (a resort in Mexico just doesn't count), AND it was about time for another 5 year plan. We decided to up the ante with how we had typically gone about it in the past.
I looked to my creative life, my work in leading Agile transformations, and online, and I pieced together some simple writing exercises that my husband and I could both resonate with. We refined together, and here's what we ended up with.
Principles we learned:
- It's more like a design than a plan. Just roll with it and don't worry about perfect outcomes.
- Do it together. It was more meaningful to create it together, and then I knew I wasn't forcing us into something.
- Have fun! Find an awesome place to work on it together, have a fun weekend getaway, go hole up in a booth at the most expensive breakfast buffet in town and make them regret serving bottomless bloody marys (yes, that's what we did).
- Don't give up. We did have to convince ourselves a little bit. If this sounds too formal, see Why above. If this sounds like something you don't know if you'll ever find the time to do, see Why above. If you think you can't write, this isn't a contest and no one will see it – just write whatever comes to mind, even if you think it might be silly.
Prep exercises:
A. Name the different areas of our life.
Here's what we came up with:
- Family
- Career
- Financial
- Health
- Travel
- Intellectual pursuits or hobbies
- Social
- Lifestyle/environment (where we live, how we live etc.)
- Spiritual
- Emotions/Behaviors
- Volunteerism
B. Define the timeframe.
For us, 5 years made sense, but it could be different for you.
C. Brainstorm an awesome place/way to create the first draft. (See Bloody Marys above…)
Creating your first draft of your AWESOME life plan!
We thought we would get through all of the questions in one day, but we quickly realized that two days, even separated by some investigation time in between, was more realistic and fun – no pressure!
Day 1
Bring: paper, pencil/pen, and these questions. Optional: markers, art supplies, your dog, etc.
Get comfy. Start writing…
- List Roles
- What are the roles I play in my life? (Just list them out… mother, aunt, daughter, Software Programmer at work, Friend, writer, etc…)
- Also just write the first thing that comes to mind for "Who am I?"
- Describe Roles
- What is the purpose of each role?
- What is the priority of each role at this point in my life?
- This helped us focus and come up with ideas for the next section
- Describe Future
- Refer to the areas of your life. For each area, describe: What are my goals? What would my life look like in 5 years in this area?
- Note: it's helpful to think big: What is possible? What would my future self want?
- Describe Today
- What is my/our current reality?
- What do I currently like about my life?
- What's working well?
- Create Actions
- What are some steps I could take to get to my goals?
- Be specific: What will I do? Who will I do it with?
- Share goals and actions with each other
We wrote on our own and then shared at the end. I thought maybe we would share after each question, but we each went down our own paths and didn't exactly follow the order, so it made more sense to share later when we were ready.
We were happily surprised to learn that some important stuff synched up (like wanting to spend more time at the ocean, wanting to travel more, wanting to find a way to connect with something more than material, etc.), and I feel really lucky about that.
I could see how it could be scary to explore future desires with your partner, only to find out you want drastically different things. Of course, everything we want does not line up perfectly, but we looked for the similarities and focused on the positive overlap.
Day 2
We waited about three weeks, unintentionally, because the holidays were upon us.
Prework – we pulled out our budget together and revised it, and we were thinking about which of our actions required money. Do some investigation on costs of things, for example, if you're going to go back to school or something.
Found another comfy spot – this time a coffee shop for a morning, and splurged on breakfast burritos and huge lattes.
Bust out that paper and pencil again:
- Clarify Actions and Prioritize
- Reread the specific actions from #5 last time. Make sure they are clear. Write more if we need to.
- Prioritize the categories for ourselves – this means number them in order from 1-whatever.
- Identify Help
- What obstacles might I encounter?
- What support do I need?
- What do I need to do, daily/weekly, to meet my actions this year?
- Who do I need help from? ID some people we need to ask for help – either to just support me/us in what we are doing, or help with some kind of information or assistance
- Budget
- What is our budget?
- Share actions and ideas and make budget decisions based on actions
- Checking In
- This is about frequency – we didn't want to go a whole year (or more) without thinking about this work, so we brainstormed holding our selves accountable with some kind of planning board, and then doing another coffee shop retreat about half way through the year. And then I put a calendar reminder in my phone right then and there.
- Retrospective
- What parts of this process worked for us?
- What would we adjust next time?
- I would not be a respectable Agilist without doing a "retro" – and we found this useful too! Terry thought it was good that we had a break between part 1 and 2, so that things could sink in. He also suggested we get out of our element a little more – go up into the mountains for a night. We both agreed that bottomless bloody marys and omelets and shrimp cocktail was key to us making it through day 1.
Whew! Done!
What we experienced was a little mind-numbness right after – like, wow, that was a bit of work, and wow, we have all of those goals, and wow, life is short, and cool that we are thinking about it, but it feels a bit daunting and what if we never do any of it, won't that be more depressing than never having explored it at all?
But we had actions – things to do (and stop doing) and clear steps that we could focus on in the meantime.
We felt really good about what we created together and just the possibility of living some of our dreams was really inspiring and motivating. And sharing it together brought us closer together, which was probably the best part.
And now we are doing the work. Stay tuned for more…
[Note: I have a backlog of posts that I didn't publish – I'm backdating the post to around the time that I worked on the print. Current date: 9-2015]

Retainers (Clips and Pins) - Stainless Steel
Anzor Stocks a wide and varied range of retainers to suit a wide range of applications including Circlips, Dowel Pins, Tension Pins, Skew Proof Tension Pins, Padbolts, Quick Release Pins, R Clips, Recoils, Retaining Clips, Shaft Collars, Split Pins, Split Rings and Stainless Handles.
Stainless Circlips
Circlips are available in 3 types, Internal Circlip, External Circlip and E Type Circlips. Circlips are made from spring tensioned 304 grade stainless steel. Used both internally and externally to retain an item, on a shaft or in a hole, from moving laterally along its length. Identified by the shaft size for external circlips and by the bore size for internal circlips. Unlike the Internal and External Circlips the E-Type clip does not require a special tool to fit.
Stainless Pins
Dowel Pins, Dowels or Cross Dowels are used for precise alignment of two objects, dowels can be used as either locators during construction or as joiners. They can be inserted into slightly larger diameter pre drilled holes for a loose join or pressed into slightly smaller holes for a firm join the pins are machined to tight tolerances as are the hole which are often reamed. Dowels are used in place of bolts which can often leave a little play or movement in the joint or alignment. Anzor stocks Dowel Pins in 304 and 316 Stainless Steel and in sizes ranging from M2 to M6 diameter made to Din 7 specifications.
Stainless Tension Pins (Roll Pins, Spring Pins)
Tension Pins, Spring Pins or Roll Pins available in Metric and Imperial are considered a self-retaining fastener because the diameter of the pin should be slightly larger than the diameter of the hole, the chamfered ends help with insertion and the spring of the pin allows it to compress into the hole. The force applied by the spring pin on the inside of the hole retains the pin in place. Anzor's Imperial range have a straight slot and the Metric have a wavy slot and are known as Skew Proof Tension Pins or Wave Pins.
Stainless R Clips
R Clips and Split Pins or Cotter Pins as they are also known are used for retaining an object in place such as a locking pin or axle. The R Clip is named after the fact that the pin has the appearance of a capital R and are identified by the shaft size they will fit over and the diameter of the bar they are formed from i.e. M20 x 3.0, the back of the R is inserted into a pre drilled hole in the shaft and the round part of the R sits snugly into the curve of the shaft to hold it in place. Similarly the Split Pin would fit through the hole in the shaft but the ends would be twisted to stop the pin falling out and hence stop the shaft from moving laterally.
Split Rings or Key Rings as they are commonly described are also available in stainless steel and are available in 304 stainless in 10mm, 16mm and 22mm.

Safety in focus as comp pricing tools changeReprints
Without improved safety practices, updates in the calculation of workers compensation experience modification factors could raise workers comp premiums for employers in Texas, which has seen a notable jump in the split-point calculations for workers comp.
"The impact on their experience mod in the state of Texas really can be substantial," said Pam Ferrandino, New York-based executive vice president and casualty practice leader at Willis Towers Watson P.L.C.
As split points increase nationwide, experts say employers can mitigate the potential for higher workers comp costs by implementing safety programs that hold down comp claim losses.
"Improving workplace safety will ultimately work its way into the experience mod," said Steve Math, senior vice president of underwriting and field operations with Texas Mutual Insurance Co. in Austin, Texas. "It would behoove employers ... to really devote financial and management resources toward those improvements sooner rather than later."
The National Council on Compensation Insurance Inc. has updated its split point — one of the factors used in ex-mod calculations — incrementally over the past few years. Most of the 34 states that use Boca Raton, Florida-based NCCI to set workers comp rates saw their split point raised in 2012 from $5,000, the standard for two decades, to $10,000 in 2013, $13,500 in 2014, $15,500 in 2015 and $16,000 as of Jan. 1.
"Because there had been claim escalation and the average cost of claims had gone up over a number of years without the split point increasing, it was not an appropriate cut off for that frequency point," Christine Williams, New York-based managing director in Marsh L.L.C.'s Workers' Compensation Center of Excellence, said of why the split point increased.
Rather than simply setting the split point, NCCI began raising it based on claim-expense inflation in 2016. The split point rate is $16,000 as of Jan. 1.
Workers comp claim losses less than the split point are known as "primary losses" and reflect the frequency of an employer's workers comp claims, according to NCCI documents. Claim losses that exceed the split point are referred as "excess losses," which reflect claim severity.
Primary losses are factored more heavily than excess losses into an employer's experience rating formula, according to NCCI. So, raising the split point could increase the number of workers comp claims considered primary losses.
In turn, employers whose primary losses increase could see their ex-mod increase, which would ultimately drive a hike in workers comp premiums.
Jeff Eddinger, senior division executive at NCCI, said the split point is meant to even out fluctuations in an employer's loss history that could result from a small number of severe claims.
"It's saying that 100 $10,000 claims are worse than one $1 million claim, because a $1 million claim just might have been a freak accident," Mr. Eddinger said. "But if you have 100 $10,000 claims, something's going on in the business where safety is a factor."
NCCI took over ratemaking in July for Texas, which previously had its workers comp rates set by the Texas Department of Insurance.
While the insurance department had used a split point of $5,000, Texas employers saw a jump to NCCI's higher split point for workers comp policies renewed on or after July 1.
Mr. Math of Texas Mutual said the split point jump has not hurt employers that tend to have claim losses under $5,000, such as companies where a significant number of employees work in offices.
Texas employers that have frequent workers comp claims with losses of more than $5,000 are more likely to see an increase in their ex-mods and workers comp premiums, Mr. Math said.
He notes that Texas is the only state that allows employers to negotiate their ex-mods with workers comp insurers, allowing policyholders to mitigate some of the potential cost increases from higher split points or ex-mods. However, Mr. Math said such negotiations for Texas employers will cease in 2018 under NCCI rules.
Split point changes also are expected to affect employers in New York, where workers comp rates are set by the New York Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau. New York's split point was raised to $15,000 from $10,000 as of Oct. 1, according to bureau filings posted online.
Experts agree that employers can reduce potential cost increases from changing split points by keeping their workers comp claims costs as low as possible.
"Any increase in the split point just reinforces the need for best-in-class safety, cost control, claims management practices and risk management," Marsh's Ms. Williams said.
"It's really about getting ahead and identifying what are the large losses that are going to have the biggest impact on your experience mod, then really working with their broker, their TPA or their carrier to get those claims closed at a lower cost," said Ms. Ferrandino of Willis Towers Watson.

A purple pin marker will be placed on the selected vessel. From this point on, you can click anywhere on the Live Map and define your Waypoints (note that you can also right-click on icons when you want to set them as the next Waypoints without bringing out their respective InfoWindows).
For example, using the previous picture, let's click on a port icon to set it as our next Waypoint.
A yellow line indicates the course we are setting while the information on the yellow box that appears (by hovering your mouse's index over it) informs us about:
- The distance (in Nautical Miles) between our starting point (Waypoint0) and our next Waypoint (Waypoint1)
- Our course (in degrees)
- Time needed to get to the Waypoint1 based on the current speed of the vessel (in knots)
- ETA based on the distance and current speed information
You can set multiple Waypoints. For each one of them, the information on the yellow box will take into account all the previous Waypoints. For example, in the following picture, the calculated information displayed is taking into account the exact course as it was designed (the yellow line track).
Right-click anywhere on the Live map (not on other icons) to clear the course and the Waypoints you have set.
Note: You can also set your initial Waypoint from the Vessel's Infowindow - simply click on the Distance To... option to do so and the selected vessel will be automatically set as your Waypoint0.

WOHOOO... it's Friday! For some reason this week has seemed to go on and on and on.... so needless to say I am super excited for this weekend! Nothing really big planned other than FOOTBALL! Yep, the boys have their first football tournament tomorrow and I am super excited to see how they do.. well maybe I am more excited to see how the coaches handle it! ( I think the frustration is starting to kick in.....but can you blame them! They are trying to get 4,5, and6 year olds to listen, tackle, run in the correct direction and hold onto the ball)
I took some video of the boys last night at practice but for some reason I can't get it to upload... I will work on it and post the video's on here so everyone can see the hysterics!
In other news, I finished up a couple of onesie's shirts last night for some friends... I can't wait to see pics of the little ones in them!
And of course.. I couldn't have a post without showing a pic of one of my favorite little girls! I mean seriously, this is one beautiful little girl!
Have a great weekend everyone!

The Bar
I once was a regular of a bar that was not meant to be a bar but rather the drug-storage and antechamber of some yakuza who held meetings in the rooms next door. It was only frequented by me with either a Chinese girlfriend or some American buddy of mine. We always were the only customers- only once, two scared looking young men in black suits were there and another time two old drunks. I guess as foreigners we were tolerated there cause we were considered as outsiders anyhow. Of course there was also the barkeep called Hiro, a.k.a 'Hero' (he even had that moniker printed on his business-card, too).
The place was very small and dirty only consisting of the bar, two tables with seats and some bar stools, some posters and graffiti and what looked to us like dirt mixed with fluorescent goo on the walls. Hero was always stoned and in the rare moments when he was there talked about his daughter who wanted to build a career as an idol-singer in the capital, but most times he had to do some business-errants. In the interim we were unofficially given responsibility for the place and could help ourselves to free beer and the small range of hard liquors they served such as Cutty Sark, Stoli or some other basics of that kind. Basically it was irrelevant what we took as this went under 'calculated risk' for the people doing business next door- or so we suspected.
But unfortunately this period of unhindered boozing did not last for long. One fateful night we stood before closed doors and later we heard that our dear barkeep and hero was in jail on the charge of possession of illegal substances. After a few months, when he got out, he never seemed to be the same again...from then he seemed nervous, always kept a close eye on his merchandise and wasn't as talkative as before...absentmindedly he stared into nowhere and if we hadn't known it better we would have thought that it was not the drugs but prison combined with the absence of former that did that to him...

"Brevity is the soul of content."
In my position as co-founder of Antiques Weeks Media, LLC, I oversee – and provide 90% of – the content for our family of destination websites. The blogs we post cover everything from ancient Asian bronze vessels to modern art, as well as info on local attractions and museum exhibitions.
The challenge, as with all content providers, is how to give a complete picture in about 400 words. With Twitter, as we all know, it's 140 characters. While Facebook gives you more space, you're not likely to post a novel here. A text must get is point across is 2.6 seconds.
The heart and soul of providing content is brevity. That requires good writing, as Peter Shankman, founder of Help a Report Out (HARO), says so often.
Good writing like good design is sleek and meaningful. For all of you who grapple with fitting the word puzzle together, here are few thoughts …
- Find out how your audiences want to be reached – communicate with them through that channel
- Do not learn write w/txt talk. Gather your thoughts, craft your sentences
- Keep it on message, keep it relevant
- Don't get cute; humor is a hard play
- For vintage and antiques dealers, don't go overboard on the fine details of product. You might love history but most likely your audience loves the look and the style
There are two more words that I associate with effective writing. They are Factual and Useful.
Everyone is an expert in something, so Factual should be no problem.
Useful, however, is a different story. Your content won't get read unless it helps someone do something. That could be as simple as finding a discount parking lot near the Philadelphia Antiques Show as we did on the Shows page.
It could be as complex as engaging a reader in the back story of design, as we do on ModernVintageTimes.com. If you're in the complex group, keep the 5 guidelines shown above by your computer.

Last year, Microsoft launched an app called Office Lens to make Windows Phones portable scanners. Now the company is bringing the portable scanning frenzy to Android, albeit in a preview mode for now.
On Thursday, April 2, Microsoft officially unveiled Office Lens for Android and confirmed the app will have a public launch within the Google Play Store soon. For now, though, the app is available within a preview format. For those that are able to check out the app, and those who will wait for the public launch, Office Lens is able to turn your Android device into a portable scanner whenever you might need it, along with plenty of worthwhile features.
With your Android phone's camera, you'll be able to scan a document, business card, receipts, and other information you can find around you as well. With Microsoft's Office Lens, this information can then be saved up to OneDrive or OneNote, which means it can effectively be opened up at later date from a wide range of devices.
Office Lens will automatically detect the edge of documents and other scanned items and crop the intended scan as necessary. It will also clean up the scanned image and enhance where necessary with the goal of making it more readable. Scanned images can then also be converted to PDF formats, Word documents or even a PowerPoint presentation.
With optical character recognition, Office Lens can let users search for certain words within OneNote or OneDrive, to quickly find a scan when they need to. The same technology can also be used to create a contact when a business card is scanned.
Here's what you need to do to join in on the preview, if you so desire:
- Go to the Google+ preview community: Offie Lens Android Preview Community
- In the upper-right hand corner, click the Join Community button
- Within the About This Community section, find the "Become a Tester" option and click that.
- Follow the onscreen instructions and become a preview tester
Do you plan on checking out the new Office Lens for Android?

Hi, quick introduction. I've been an OO developer/lead dev/architect for about 15 years now, having moved from C++ to Java about 6 years ago. I'm currently an architect and dev lead, but almost entirely at the level of framework development, and middle tier applications. I've got some decent open source experience, but mostly on the edges and mostly as a foot soldier or leading very small projects. After years of living on Java, and off the fruits of the Apache projects, I figured that this would be a good project for me, karmically. So given all that, I'd like to help out, and I'd be happy to do anything from helping do architecture to (given the number of strong designer/architects already on board, more usefully) be a grunt developer in the Java class trenches. Or a mix. Wherever I can help. Stu Statman

FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB) July 05, 2016
When first-time space shuttle astronaut Chris Cole is grounded after an accident, he decides to attend a nearby medieval fair and finds himself in a world where he can change his destiny in author Dudley Mecum's debut novel, "A Sojourn Among the Avatars of Wisdom" (published by iUniverse). The author is embarking on a marketing campaign to promote the book.
In the novel, Chris is on a quest to become a knight. As his quest unfolds, Chris faces enemies and foes that use him as a pawn to settle old scores. In an effort to overcome his enemies, Chris seeks advice from a cast of unexpected characters who dispense timeless wisdom.
Having experienced numerous setbacks in life, Mecum felt the need to provide a cohesive and entertaining medium for attaining useful principles in an effort to give hope to those who have also endured failure and adversity in their lives.
Mecum explains that the book is "quadruple-use" because it serves to entertain, impart wisdom by including the sages' quotes, employs various literary devices – such as symbolism, irony and foreshadowing – and pays tribute to Thomas Cole, founder of the Hudson River School, a mid-19th century art movement, by giving the protagonist his last name.

So after one of the most discouraging weeks we have had during this journey, last week began with a light at the end of the tunnel.
We may have, possibly, might but not certainly . . . found a location.
We are trying so hard not to get our hopes up. We are kicking ourselves in the ass for even saying it out loud. But so far it looks good. It's in the area we have hoped for. The price is right. The square footage will work. Our mentor, Tom Hennessy of Colorado Boy Pub and Brewery has drawn up a tentative floor plan based on our measurements and pictures. It's going to require some hard work, but we're good at that. So we'll see. Now we just have to come to an agreement with the building owner and get a letter of intent. Keep your fingers crossed.
Once the letter of intent is signed, we can move forward. Then it's building inspectors and construction bids and cleaning and painting and a mountain of paperwork for state and federal licensing. And although it sounds overwhelming and monotonous, we can't wait to get started!
Our goal is to do as much as we can ourselves. We're good at painting and laying tile and one of us knows our way around a hammer and nails. And although the other one of us refers to the different screw drivers as the plus sign one and the minus sign one, she's certainly not afraid to use them. Plus she's super good at delegating and supervising and picking up lunch so there will be plenty of things keeping her busy.
If any of you know fancy people like electricians and plumbers who will be interested in working for "hydration" (are you following us there? wink wink), please reach out to us. You can find us on The Facebook and The Twitter, or you can leave a comment right here. We would love to hear from you regardless of what you have to say.
Again, we can not thank everyone enough for the overwhelming amount of support we have received from total strangers. The craft beer community has embraced us tightly, and it is your encouragement that keeps us going. It all started because we were tired of driving miles to find a place with decent craft beer. And now we know you are, too. We are not just making Mischief for ourselves anymore.
We are making Mischief for you. And we are loving each and every moment of it.

Coachella holiday quick break One Set critiques on It was a track so silky and astounding(And intently named) That whether or not Nick Sanborn earned that dubstep inspired drop, The song never lost an ounce of stop.
Sylvan Esso's impeccable ability to balance subtlety and crescendo is what made the duo any of the standout acts of 2014, But it was the incredible to throw what was most likely the least bro ey dance party at Coachella that made them one of the standout acts of this year's festival. Everybody in the crowd which was at any time large, Thinking about both how early Sylvan Esso's set was and that most of their success has elevated the indie arena was seriously getting down. Anyone's dancing, But regular, Was better than singer Amelia Meath's, Who scooped the riff-Raff along with her idiosyncratic moves, Acrobatic vocals, As well as some pretty sick gold sequined tennis shoes. But there is no better time of day at Coachella for poetic discord and transcendent detachment than the chill of dusk earlier slots on the main stage should be tied to sunnier sounds, And later slots for a great deal animated ones. All of typically that Interpol was in its sweet spot. Thirteen years after start up the Bright Lights, This guitar rock-band has aged well, Partly evidenced by what might be their the the second best effort, Last summer season El Pintor, And actually by their cool, Commanding powerpoint demo yesterday. I spent much of the first half of the set marveling over after awhile of Paul Banks' self possessed stage presence; In overall effect was that of Jack Nicholson's Witches of Eastwick character taken to Palm Springs(That may coat!). The hypnotism broke when the set got a fitting jolt a nothing but halfway through, If the chrous of"Personal digital helper" "We have 200 couches that let you sleep tight" Pulled in. And if there has ever been an Interpol song to move the unsold masses, The conclusion, A variable"Slow your triceps and biceps, Are you finding it. But appear to have most certainly been no signs of age in his band's energetic, Nine song you end up picking set, Which logically mixed crowd good hits("My Old associations, "Bringing in many years") With an alternative deep cuts. The last time I saw Steely Dan live was historically in 1994, Shortly afterwards Fagen and his partner in crime, Musician and performer Walter Becker, Pulled mutually a new version of the band after a 13 year hiatus. Awesome, Perhaps because a touring version of the Dan hadn't existed for almost two decades(This rock-band stopped touring in 1974), I had found their live bouquet too slavishly matched to the studio original documents. But in extensive amounts of time since, Fagen and Becker have certainly loose up, Allowing by and their backing musicians to re imagine those pristine recordings in enjoyable new ways. Indicates"Very green Friday" Became a challenging blues vamp, With Becker wailing on lead guitar right through, And"Showbiz small, Whose lyrics may as well have been revealed the Coachella VIP section yesterday evening("Showbiz kids makin' movies 'bout themselves/You know it needn't give a fuck about anybody else"), Was hit up ideal swaggering funk rock jam. Were they overly occupied even though using crowd's psychedelics setting in? I think this was all very dialed down, And nowhere was this more apparent when compared with"Give time to take place, I had expected that the song's on purpose muffled chorus, Pursued by any one of its blatantly crystalline verses, Would come with an ideal place to upshift. The track is made for crescendo, Featuring slot, Four songs from set, Was the natural location for a just let it happen. The right it could've soared, Your property coasted. A few songs later I took a quick break and to be fair, "Resembles We Only Go Backwards" Got me not having enough relieve themself and beelining for the lawn. Would this be the amount? It was and wasn't. It literally set arises for the finale, But the sad thing is"Apocalypse dreams and thinks" Just floated into the nighttime hours. By merely his fencing mask(Which read like a reduced ode to Daft Punk), Tom Jenkinson looked out over a sparse crowd that waxed and waned but never reached sincere mass. Squarepusher's candidly techno ish somewhat EDM, Lso are also-Trying to find old school beeps and boops with graphics of circuitry floating overhead, Included dub style breaks and, Like all the others, Also rose and fell given that the set gone on, Slowly giving way to a fully defined sound by the set's end, When Jenkinson served a guitar and took part in funk slap can you order black friday deals online style over a jazz drumbeat. Wait a DJ employing guitar? Truthfully: Squarepusher proved that all romantic relationship is possible. Right(You determine, Early for everyone who is was still knocked out or vigorously pre gaming), But things were feeling pretty sleepy as post punk act Parquet Courts took over the Gobi tent thursday mid-day. Your actually, Singer black friday internet sales guitarist Austin Brown, Significantly pissed, Provoked all the others, "So is this tends to determine festival where you guys go to sleep at night or what, Wouldn't blame him, Though; It was Parquet Courts' getting started at Coachella, And I was as stoked attain in the pit(That I assumed might be there) As they pretty much certainly were to play. Their set would have been so more relaxed had the black sale friday moshing started prior to their third to last song, "Power over My Craft, Solitary time a flock of poor, Hungover souls shown up and formed a slow activity can can line. Though the show was a bit of a letdown number one(For buyers and Brown), The zombified crowd eventually got port. Shouts about"Saying song, Accordingly"Ten a new songs, Were tossed the main stage, But this guitar rockband was out. Replaced, It's extra unlikely that happened. To be fair to the good Craig, The mediocre Yuma subwoofer did him no favors the mid range was barely audible from the, Reducing his signature a certain number of, Percussive sound to simply high hats and thunderous bass. But Craig himself also seemed worked out to spin rigidly classicist tech house, Rarely varying tempos or drum rhythms or allowing any bit of of a melody to creep in, But nonetheless muffled. This 20 minutes of his set, He finally left each other the boredom with, Off as far as possible, Fleetwood Mac's "Principles" But it was hard to tell whether he was sincerely seeking to give the crowd a moment, Or punking them and their boho gypsy attires. It can weigh down a painter with unachievable demands, If an act is as exalted as reggae duo Run the Jewels, Who received critical acclaim for last year's Run the Jewels 2 from funny enough, every music outlet in the universe, Comprises Rolling Stone and Pitchfork. Run the Jewels didn't just go over black friday cyber the hype, Though they were given it by the neck, Put it down, But unfortunately, As rapper El P equivalent, Cheated that motherfucker down. With thousands of people crammed out on tent(Very we now have ever seen at Coachella), And everyone inside loyally teaching themselves to keep up as the duo fired off rhymes like an M16, Run the bracelets were slaying it. Everyone lost it when Zack de la Rocha came out for his well known verse on"Close astigmatism and count number to Fuck, And then repetitive to lose it when Despot, Seekers, Travis Barker and Gangsta Boo appeared in what became a limitless showcase of hogwash talent. "I am fat, I'm cute and you're able to dance, bitch, Killer Mike said as he did what was most likely the most adorable dance we've seen recently thus far, Telling us that however Run the Jewels go hard as hell, At the end of the day we'd really just love to be their colleagues. Bonk a person will, Bomb he dropped on the Kardashian royal family placed stage center in VIP, Tyler, The Creator was on his very very very best behavior Saturday night. The 24 yr old pleasantly inquired, "Is it cool if I jump around and yell to stop you, To his rambunctious herd, Whom he also used your time to thank for choosing him over Jack White on the neighboring stage. (Once riff-Raff gave a roar of sanction, Tyler shushed a little something group, Showing my thanks of White: "He's more hard to follow,) And during this Kendall Jenner barb: He wasn't dissing her so much as he was giving some love to the non VIPs unjustly displaced by the velvet rope. Tyler's progressed whole lot from four years ago, On the grounds that, After aspect in Coachella with Odd Future, He was kicked out for shooting a burglar guard with a backlash with a water gun. And so what if these times he also said that Goldenvoice president Paul Tollett should essentially fuck off, Most effectively and efficiently? (The press was less upset that one, Perhaps because it was in mention of festival's strict ban on professional video.) He was hands down the most charming front man throughout. Vying dapper in a black suit, Polished shoes and slicked back hair, He bitten his lengthy headlining slot with a great display of ramshackle virtuosity that, Amidst cash year's heavily electronic tasks, Felt like a conscious are hoping to make Coachella history with a career defining set. White wasted no time in putting his characteristic guitar pyrotechnics on full display, Shredding savagely obtaining medley of the Stripes'"Icky Thump" Alongside"Beyond their budget Ball Stepper, The lacerating integral from his latest solo LP. But even more impressive than White's frenetic soloing was the final set's seat of the pants feel. A long shot your own willful naivete of his White Stripes years, White worked both the crowd and his band at the time of like a mix of James Brown and a Pentecostal preacher, Calling out songs and tempos to his players all awesome, Above all violinist Lillie Mae Rische and drummer Daru Jones and urging everyone at many point to"Put your fucking telephone devices down for five seconds, Most ought to have, Until the fundamental"Seven usa affiliate marketing online" Deeper, That now be the most video'd Coachella performance in history. One extremely intriguing and enigmatic performing artists to break out in 2014, Twigs put on a truly moving description for superfans and newcomers alike. "Move no less girl, I have doing. I cried ones initially I saw her, Uttered an obviously emotional fan trying to make his way past me in the crowd.
The suitable, An hawaiian girl who revealed she spent about $1,200 total on her Coachella cation told us catching FKA Twigs initially made the rent worthy ticket totally worth it. "About a motherfucker, Dreamin' nowadays, It really is my lovin" The lyrics floated all on top of the gang as Twigs seduced us all with"2 Weeks, Making hers such an example steamiest sets of the weekend.

I can't really be all cool and nonchalant about this: my dissertation is done! Hooray! I gave a presentation on my proposed topic at about this time last year, so it's satisfying to finally finish. Also it's basically the only thing I've done in the last month, so the relief is impressively deep.
It's essentially a plea to take science more seriously in theories of visual art1, which was actually quite good fun to write. The main topic is neurophysiology, which I touched on in a post in November, and how the structure of the eye and its cells has more impact on what we see than might be expected – if you're into culture as an explanation for everything, anyway. Weirdly, it's barely about photography, as most of the relevant research has centred on reactions to paintings. I've shown how this has been effective, and suggested various possible avenues for photography, but there are only a couple of photographs in the thing.
It doesn't mention Cindy Sherman, either. This might be a dealbreaker. You have to mention Cindy Sherman whenever possible, because…well…it's not entirely clear. You just do.
I honestly have no idea what they'll think. My tutor was cautiously optimistic, but who knows. Obviously I'd like a good mark, but I know I worked hard, and am happy with that.
That leaves one project before uni's all finished, and that'll be based around my Uganda photos. I proposed an exhibition to a London hall last year, and just today heard they want to go ahead, which is brilliant. Thing is, they want it for March. Which is fine, but means I'll have a very busy month. I have yet to design the thing, for example. Still though: exciting! Uni need a proper research workbook and plan for two weeks' time (which is a bizarre timetable, given the dissertation deadline), then after that it's only a matter of delivering the final practical exhibition. Which means that, rather unexpectedly, this time in a month I should be pretty much done with uni. How odd.
If anyone says 'what then?' I will scream.
- meaning: paintings, photos etc., rather than sculpture, but there's no uncomplicated group noun [↩]

Quasi-Coherent Ruminations
October 14, 2007
October 9, 2007
Recently, Clarence Thomas was in the headlines with the release of his book "My Grandfather's Son". Naturally, the issue of Anita Hill was the focus of everyone's attention. It is notable that Thomas got a much more supportive, or at least sympathetic, media coverage this time round. Two great articles analyze this: Maureen Dowd satirically, and Frank Rich more analytcally.
I enjoy Jonathan Chait's articles on New Republic. He has an op-ed in NYT today where he explains why the economic right has more of a sway over the Republican establishment than the social right.

Top Valentine's Day Movies
Deciding what to do is tough, dinner is good, flowers, candy, and a card are all essentials, but there's one thing you can never go wrong with and that's curling up on the couch with your valentine and watching a romantic movie. Now I, like most guys out there, would rather do anything than watch some chick flick. However, on Valentine's Day its all about the ladies. So, since I'm such a nice guy, I have decided to give all the men out there a little help in finding a good romantic movie to watch with your girl.
Across the Universe(2007)- This movie, staring Jim Sturgess and Evan Rachel Wood, is a great romantic story played out in classic Beatles music. The perfect match for any mood.
West Side Story(1967)- Another musical love story, this one follows the tale of a New York street gang member and his quest for the love of his life Maria.
City of Angels(1998)- Oh my goodness, this movie has one of the purest and most beautiful storys ever told. Nicholas Cage plays an angel who gives up his immortality and angel status for the woman he fell in love with played by Meg Ryan.
Tristan and Isolde(2006)- A story of love that was not permitted in this period movie starring James Franco and Sophia Myles.
The Wedding Singer(1998)- This romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore is one move that I know both you and your valentine will enjoy. It combines the right blend of comedy for the guys with the perfect mix of romance for the ladies.
P.S. I Love You(2007)- The story of love, life, and loss stars Hilliary Swank who was literally left, alone, by her Irish boyfriend played by Gerard Butler.
Never Been Kissed(1999)- The story of a nerdy high schooler who never got her first kiss, grows up to be a succesful journalist and goes undercover at a high school to find ut about the teenage life and ends up falling in love with her english teacher.
Something's Gotta Give(2003)- Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton star in this romantic comedy. Nicholson is dating Keaton's daughter but ends up falling for Keaton while a young, good looking doctor, played by Keanu Reeves, is trying to hook up with Diane Keaton
Sleepless In Seattle(1993)- Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan play in this movie where a hapless single father's(Hanks) son cals in a radio station and puts the word out that his dad needs a wife. A cute romantic movie that both of you should enjoy.
Shakespeare In Love(1999)- The tale of a young William Shakespeare who falls in love with a woman(Gwynneth Paltrow) who secretly dresses as a man to perform on stage in Shakespeare's plays .
There's Something Abput Mary(1998)- This movie leans more towards the comedy side but still has its romantic aspects. Ben Stiller is vieing for the affection of Mary(Cameron Diaz) but can never seem to make a brakthrough with the relationship he so desperatley wants.
When Harry Met Sally(1989)- A true romantic movie starring the ever funny Billy Crystal and the queen of romantic movies Meg Ryan, you will definatley be delighted when you see this one.
Casablanca(1943)- This is probably one of the best known romantic movies of all times. And even though it was made over 60 years ago the true fact remains that "a classic never dies."
A Walk to Remember(2002)- Wow, where to even begin. Ths movie is sad. I mean really sad. If you don't cry or at least get sad at all then you have no soul. Mandy Moore stars as a good christian girl who keeps to herself when she gets together with the popular guy. They fall in love, get married and then she dies of leukemia. A nice way to show how much life can suck. But your girlfriends will love it, trust me.
While You Were Sleeping(1995)- Sandra Bullock plays a lonely train station worker when shes sees Peter Gallagher's character.

And things only get worse when she falls in love with Gallagher's brother played by Bill Pullman.
Pearl Harbor(2001)- Guys do not be fooled, this is not an awesome war movie based on the true story of he surprise attack by the Japanese but is, in fact, a romance movie involving a love triangle between Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, and Kate Beckinsale. The name, based on where the Japanese attacked, is just a ploy to get guys to watch a romantce movie.
Moulin Rouge(2001)- Yet another musical romance mvie this time starring Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. It follows the story of a man following his love, a performer at the Mulin Rouge.
Grease(1978)- Starring a young John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, Grease tells the tale about greaser Danny(Travolta) and his summer fling with Sandrs D(Newton-John), a good, wholesome girl from England. The story follows the polar opposites as they try to rekindle their love. A definite romantic musical classic.
Titanic(1997)- The fictious tale of love in a true catastrophe. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are two people from different walks of life, one being a wealthy woman and the other a poor street peddler, who fall in love despite unapproving family members and social status that all takes place during the sinking of the Titanic.
Dirty dancing(1987)- Jennifer Grey plays a rcih girl at a family camp who, despite her father's disapprovale, falls in love with a dance instructor played by Patrick Swayze. Thw two will dance their way into your hearts if you pick this one up.
The Notebook(2004)- Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gossling is, like most romantic movies, about a couple whose social status does not belong together, the story is told through the eyes of Gosslings character but nararated by James Garner, the older incarnation of Gossling's character who is reading the noebook with the story in it to his wife, Gena Rowlands, who is an older reincarnation of McAdams' character. This movie will definatley put you into the good graces of your valentine if you decide to pop this ino the DVD player.
So there you have it, a good list of romantic movies to watch while snuggling next to that special someone of yours.

The Illusionist (2002) – One of the most beautiful tales of forbidden love and magic I have ever seen!
The Majestic (2001) Jim Carrey was so awesome in this movie that is set in the 1950's and centered around an old movie theatre. It is so good

And lastly… Thos that have ummmm a eccentric side who enjoy off the wall films with a quirky and a little bit sick kind of humor I have the film for you
Wristcutters: A Love Story (2006) - Written and directed by Goran Dukic and starring Patrick Fugit and Shannyn Sossamon. It is set in a strange afterlife way station that has been reserved for people who have committed suicide.
It is based on Etgar Keret's short story "Kneller's Happy Campers". A graphic novel version was titled Pizzeria Kamikaze. The movie was originally intended to be shot on super-16 color infrared film, which was produced specially by Kodak. The color-shifts inherent in using this kind of film were thought to enhance the parallel world feel to the action.[1] In the end, it proved to be too time-consuming and the film was shot using normal filmstock manipulated in post-processing.
It is a weird movie and I loved it!

How about "Love Actually" that is an awesome movie and perfect for couples. "Four Wedding's and a Funeral" is also great. I am a guy's guy and I love movies like this. When will guys realize that if you willingly watch one of these chick flicks with a girl, it usually has a happy ending...if you know what I mean.ReplyDelete
