This site is all about the Azores, and contains a lot of information's and
more than 800 nice pictures from the
These untouched beautiful islands have to be seen. Therefore I have enclosed a lot of nice pictures from
all 9 islands. On the Azores you won't find mass tourism as known from other places. To me the Azores are
one of the last untouched areas of natural beauty.
The Azores are nature, peace and tranquility far away
from "heavy night life" and long sandy beaches. And
the native people of the Azores are very friendly, helpful and open to meet "guests".
site is created entirely due to my love and
affection for the Azores and the
Azorean people. I visited the Azores for the first time in 1989, and have been there several times since for
longer periods.

GHRSST Level 2P Gridded Global Subskin Sea Surface Temperature from WindSat polarimetric radiometer on the Coriolis satelliteEntry ID: REMSS-L2P_GRIDDED_25-WSAT
Abstract: This dataset contains sea surface temperature derived from observations made by the WindSat Polarimetric Radiometer developed by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and launched on 6 January 2003 aboard the Department of Defense Coriolis satellite. This radiometer is well-calibrated and contains the lower frequency channels required for SST retrievals. The radiometer operates in 5 discrete bands: ... 6.8, 10.7, 18.7, 23.8 and 37.0 GHz. The 10.7, 18.7 and 37.0 GHz bands are fully polarimetric whereas the 6.8 and 23.8 GHz bands have only dual polarization. The feedhorns of each frequency band trace out different arcs along the bench, therefore the Earth Incidence Angles (EIA) are different for each frequency band. Unlike previous radiometers, the WindSat sensor takes observations during both the forward and aft looking scans. This makes the WindSat geometry of the earth view swath quite different and significantly more complicated than the other passive microwave sensors. The Remote Sensing Systems (RSS, or REMSS) WindSat dataset is the only one available that uses both the fore and aft look directions which results in a wider swath and more complicated swath geometry visible in the provided maps. RSS produces these SST data for the Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) Project. In the data processing chain, a first stage produces a near-real-time (NRT) dataset (identified with a "rt" within the file name) which is made as available as soon as possible. A later second stage produces a final dataset (identified by "v7" within the file name) that contains more data than the NRT version. In this dataset, both ascending (evening time) and descending (morning time) gridded orbital passes are packaged into the same daily file.
Although the product designation is "L2P_GRIDDED" it is in actuality a Level 3 Collated (L3C) product as defined in the GHRSST Data Processing Specification (GDS) version 2.0. Its "L2P_GRIDDED" name derives from a deprecated specification in the early Pilot Project phase of GHRSST (pre 2008) and has remained for file naming continuity.

Alkaline Water is Priceless
Fact: Your body is made up of 70% water... So if you're drinking unfiltered or acidic water, it can stack up against you very fast and in a very bad way over time.
Just say - No - to bottled water!
Very simply put: You have no idea what is inside that bottled water you're drinking. Not only that, but it is more than likely acidic, full of contaminates, and BPA.
Perfect alkaline water - always!
At Water Perfect, we've found the solution to great tasting, no contaminant, mineral filled, and antioxidant saturated alkaline water. Taste it - you'll strongly agree!

The Water Perfect system is life-changing – call for more information and a free estimate today. Click to call toll-free: 1 (866) 740-4533

Verified Water Perfect Review...
Best water ever - the taste is great!!! Saving loads of money by not buying bottled water. Helping the environment by reducing pollution and disposable containers! But the best is how I feel; I was not aware of all the benefits of alkalinity in my water and how it can help my body to really absorb the minerals my old water was not giving me! ...And still have the opportunity to drink it for free! Couldn't be happier!!! - Bobby Rodriguez, Roseville, CA

Water Perfect Saves you Money: Drinking the wrong stuff can be very costly. Your local movie theater will charge you $6 or $7 for a one-liter bottle. "Buying water" takes your time, energy, and more money. Likewise, the online market is full of inferior counter-top filtration systems that cost up to $5,000 – and then you still have to pay for filters.
What's missing in your glass?: Don't gamble with what you drink. Unfiltered water or poor filtration can lead to long term health problems which cost you more money to have examined or treated. …Join the Clarity Water Perfect team today, start saving money, give your body what it really needs, and keep your family's health in top condition.

It's true! It's part of our human nature that we need a steady supply each and every day. We use it when cooking, making coffee, a cup of tea, in our favorite recipes, and especially when exercising. Take control; get alkaline drinking water today!
Protect your family: Go Alkaline
Sorry, but you can get in a lot of trouble by trusting your "elected officials." (Flint Michigan Water Crisis) Teach your children at a young age to give their body the best nutrients, healthy habits, plenty of exercise, a balanced diet, and filtered alkaline water.
Kick the acidity and the bottles…
You already know that you can't trust what goes inside of those plastic bottles. You can't see the plant where it is bottled and you don't know the true source of it or how it was processed. Just say "NO" to acidic bottled water and the pollution it causes.

Going home from school in a canoe.Louise Southerden joins the Tibetans and trekkers drawn to the Annapurna region's 'luminous' lake city.
Second cities always have it tough. Yet Pokhara far outshines Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. There's its location, for one thing, on Nepal's second-largest lake. As the gateway to the Annapurna trekking region, Pokhara's surrounded by snowy peaks, including the 6997-metre Machhapuchhre, aka Fish Tail, one of the most recognisable mountains in the Himalayas. It's also just 800 metres above sea level, which makes its climate unexpectedly subtropical.
Then there's its other-worldliness – Pokhara was still on the hippie trail long after Kathmandu lost its soul and remains a refuge for Tibetans, trekkers and travellers. Stroll along its main street and there's a good chance you'll see what Peter Matthiessen described in The Snow Leopard more than three decades ago: "Four miles above these mud streets of the lowlands, at a point so high as to seem overhead, a luminous whiteness shone – the light of the snows … the snow cone of Machhapuchhre glistened like a spire of a higher kingdom."8am
Getting around Pokhara is easy: just stroll along its level main street, a pleasant change if you've just tackled one of Nepal's trekking trails. About halfway along the street, you'll find Black & White Cafe Organic Restaurant. It fits well with Pokhara's healthy-alternative streak and a breakfast of organic espresso coffee, two eggs any style, a croissant, fresh fruit juice and a roast potato will set you back about 280 Nepalese rupees ($3). A bowl of muesli with "curd" (yoghurt) costs 92 rupees and a cup of masala tea costs 55 rupees. There's wi-fi and a travel agent on site, too.
Black & White Cafe Organic Restaurant, Lakeside, Pokhara-6, Gaurighat; phone +977 9846 053 466. See treksandtoursnepal苏州美甲学校/black-and-white-cafe.9am
Whether you're about to start trekking or relaxing after a stint in the Annapurna, a visit to Nepal's only mountain museum, which opened in 2004, is a must. The hangar-like building has massive windows, all the better to keep an eye on three 8000-metre peaks (Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu) while you wander the three exhibition halls. Although the displays are slightly amateurish, you'll find everything you ever wanted to know about the greatest mountain range on Earth, the Himalayas. There are sections on mountain people, the alpine environment, the "8000-ers" (Nepal has eight of the world's 14-highest peaks) and, most compellingly, mountaineering history. Alongside photos of frostbitten men in goggles, including the late Sir Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay and Maurice Herzog (the first person ever to climb an 8000-er), there's the gear they used: Herzog's ice axe, Hillary's climbing boots, the down suit worn by Junko Tabei (the first woman to climb Mount Everest, in 1975). There's a stuffed snow leopard, a pile of oxygen cylinders retrieved on clean-up climbs, even a "yeti", made of wool with black ski gloves for paws but still surprisingly lifelike.
The International Mountain Museum, which is a short taxi ride from the lake, is open daily from 9am-5pm; entry 300 rupees; see internationalmountainmuseum苏州美甲学校.11am
Save your souvenir shopping for Pokhara – it's a calmer experience than in Kathmandu's traffic-choked Thamel district. There are enormous trees in the middle of the road, cows oblivious to the few cars and motorbikes weaving around them, and lake or mountain views at the end of every side street. The shopkeepers are always ready with a friendly "namaste" – Pokhara gets just enough tourist traffic to ensure they make a living, not enough to make them jaded. Their wares may not always be authentic, despite "100 per cent yak wool" and "dear human, just feel me" signs on blankets and pashmina ponchos, but they're usually colourful. The Nepalese Women Skill Development Project makes hand-woven, 100 per cent cotton bags for three shops along the main street. Pokhara is also the place to buy turquoise and silver jewellery from its resident Tibetans, and cheap outdoor gear (try the One Stop Trekking Shop).
Nepalese Women Skill Development Project; see nepalesewomenskill苏州美甲学校.12.30pm
For every souvenir shop in Pokhara, there's a cafe or restaurant. Many, such as Laughing Buddha, serve fish from the lake either grilled, fried, with chips or in a curry. Others offer more "international" dishes, such as pizza, steak and German bread. One of the newest eateries is Salt & Pepper Restolounge, which opened late last year and has modern decor, beige booths and an Indo-Sino-Latino-Nepali menu. Black & White Cafe Organic Restaurant is also open for lunch and has a bakery, garden dining area and two Western toilets.
Laughing Buddha, Hallanchowk-6, Pokhara; phone +977 061 530 932. Salt & Pepper, Lakeside, next to Fishtail Bookstore, phone +977 061 463 484.2pm
One of Pokhara's biggest drawcards is the glittering, mountain-ringed Phewa Lake. To fully appreciate it, hire one of the blue, green or yellow row boats (doongas), with or without a rower (who may or may not sing to you). On a blue-sky day, with the mountains in view, there's nothing more relaxing. Go late in the afternoon and you'll see schoolchildren rowing to their homes on the other side of the lake, and young Hindus, who go 20 to a boat, visiting Barahi Temple on a small island barely 50 metres from the main jetty.
Phewa Lake boats are easy to find (at the lake end of a couple of side streets) and cost 300 rupees an hour a boat, or 350 rupees with a rower.4pm
Behind the smiles, Nepal is one of the poorest and least-developed countries in the world. Fifty-five per cent of its population lives below the poverty line, which has an effect on children's mortality rates, literacy and access to education. Namaste Children's House, on a quiet backstreet in Pokhara, was set up in 2003 by Visma Raj Paudel, from southern Nepal, who was inspired to help others after being rescued from a flooded river 30 years ago, at the age of 10. The organisation now provides schooling, healthcare and a home to more than 90 children, who enjoy meeting foreign tourists outside school hours.
Namaste Children's House, Jarewar, Lakeside-6, Pokhara, is open to visitors from 6-10am and 3-6.30pm Monday-Friday and on Sundays; see orphanagenepal苏州美甲学校.5pm
You're spoilt for choice when it comes to watering holes. Pick from Funky Salsa, Be Happy and Pokhara Steak House, where the happy "hour" runs from 6-8.30pm. They're all across the road from the lake. At sunset the place to be is at one of the lakeside restaurant-bars. Busy Bee has a beer garden and a hookah pipe menu: try double apple, mint, cappuccino or cherry smoke, all 325 rupees a hit. Or try the covered rooftop terrace at Lake Valley Restaurant & Bar – it's not right on the lake but its height delivers water views while you sip a banana lassi, Everest beer or cocktails such as Himalayan Leopard, Tiger Trekker, Rhino Eye and Goodbye Tomorrow.
Lake Valley Restaurant & Bar, Lakeside, Pokhara-6 (opposite Standard Chartered Bank), open 7.30am-10.30pm; see lakevalley苏州美甲学校.np.6.30pm
Go early if you want to secure a table at the popular Moondance Restaurant & Bar. It has an earthy dark-wood decor with a street-side terrace for people-watching. There's great pizza, freshly ground organic Himalayan coffee, good service (as long as there are no large trekking groups monopolising the staff) and healthy tofu and brown-rice specials. This isn't really the place to sample authentic Nepali cuisine, it's a place to treat yourself. Grilled trout or wild boar served with mashed potatoes and vegetables (890 rupees), followed by chocolate brownies or lemon meringue pie, tastes especially good after weeks of dhal baht (lentils and rice) on the trekking trail.
Moondance Restaurant & Bar, Lakeside, Pokhara (at the southern end of the main street) is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; happy hour 4-7pm, bottle of beer and a slice of pizza for 230 rupees; phone +977 061 461 835, see moondance苏州美甲学校.np.9pm
If you're still in the mood, the shops are open late in Pokhara, as are the bars. Or just stroll back to your hotel or guesthouse, remembering to look up for one last mountain view in the moonlight.

Man hit, seriously injured crossing street in Branford; 2nd pedestrian hit in 2 days
BRANFORD -- A man was seriously injured in a crash Monday night, the second town pedestrian hurt in a major accident in just 24 hours.
The man, who is a truck driver, was struck at about 5:07 p.m. as he crossed East Industrial Road, police and fire officials said. He was carrying groceries from Stop & Shop to the lot where his truck was parked at the TA Travel Center truck stop when he was hit by a mid-size sedan, Deputy Fire Chief Ron Mullen said.
The man, who is believed to be from out of state and whose name was not released by police, was transported to Yale New-Haven Hospital with serious head and leg injuries, Mullen said.
He is the second Branford pedestrian with serious injuries taken to that hospital in two days. At about 6 p.m. Sunday, Joyce Asante, 45, was struck by a car when she was crossing Route 1. Asante, whose last known address was in New Haven, was in serious condition at Yale New-Haven Hospital Monday.
The windshield of the car involved in the Monday accident was totally "busted out" Mullen said; the man was thrown about 25 feet in the crash, Branford police Capt. Geoffrey Morgan said.
Tim Rodgerson, who was pushing carts at Stop & Shop at the time of the crash, said he saw a car traveling westbound on East Industrial Road stop to allow the man to cross, but a car going eastbound didn't stop, and the pedestrian walked out right in front of it.
"As soon as the car hit him, the car stopped ... I just saw (his) body going flying," said Rodgerson, of Branford. "I went around the corner to see where it was, it was a good 30-35 feet away from the car."
The driver of the car was not injured, Branford police Sgt. Richard Dahlin said.
The road was closed during the early evening Monday as police, with the assistance of East Haven police, processed the scene, Dahlin said. The accident remains under investigation.
Police are also continuing to investigate the Sunday crash, during which Asante was struck by a car near the entrance of Walgreens at 329 East Main Street.
A vehicle driven by Alan Levitt, 79, of Fresh Meadows, N.Y., struck Asante; investigators believe she entered the roadway in front of Levitt's vehicle in a poorly lit area as she was walking to a nearby motel where she was staying.
Branford police are asking that any witness to that accident call Officer Raashad Roach at 203-481-4241. No charges are expected against Levitt, police said.
Alexandra Sanders contributed to this report. Call Amanda Pinto at 203-789-5734.


text: Taylor Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She is my favourite singer mainly because makes me care for the people and society around me. Besides, I feel like each and every song of Taylor Swift carries some kind of "secret" meanings. On top of that, unlike many other singers, Taylor Swift used to write and compose many of her songs by herself, and as a result, many of her songs have become hit. Finally, Taylor Swift is my favourite singer also because of her song "Safe and sound" is the first English song I have listened, it makes me like English music until now.

A shooting at a house party in Mukilteo, Washington, left three people dead and a fourth injured, police and city officials said Saturday, NBC News reported.
About 15 to 20 teens and young adults were inside a home when a suspect walked in and opened fire.
A 19-year-old male suspect was apprehended many miles from where the shooting took place. Snohomish County Jail records show Allen Christopher Ivanov was booked on three counts of murder, including one count of aggravated murder.
U.S. & World
One of the victims was identified by his family to NBC News as Jordan Ebner, who listed on Facebook that he attended Everett Community College.
Susan Gemmer told The Associated Press that her 18-year-old granddaughter, Alexis Gemmer, hid in a closet to escape the gunman who was carrying a rifle.

We turned up at your stores in Beijing today with the results of a year-long investigation into toxic water pollution from the textile industry in China. It doesn't look good for you. But we, along with millions of supporters worldwide, are hoping that you two, like any athlete that's had a bad lap or a stumble, are simply going to pick yourself up and try harder -- especially if your fans are cheering you on.
Both of you, along with the Chinese brand Li Ning, turned up as having commercial links to facilities that we found to be discharging a range of hazardous and persistent chemicals with hormone-disrupting properties into the Yangtze and Pearl river deltas.
Our investigations found two textile facilities in China that were discharging a range of hazardous chemicals into the Yangtze and Pearl River deltas.
Alkylphenols (including nonylphenol) were found in waste water samples from both factories, and perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) were present in the waste water from the Youngor Textile Complex. This was despite the presence of a modern wastewater treatment plant at the Youngor facility.
The alkylphenols and PFCs found in the samples are a cause for serious concern, as these chemicals are known hormone disruptors and can be hazardous even at very low levels. Both groups of chemicals are man-made substances that persist in the environment and can have potentially devastating effects as they accumulate up the food chain.
...Read more in the Dirty Laundry Report
These chemicals don't play fair with human health or the environment. They mess with human reproduction. They harm development, damage the liver, impact the immune system, disrupt hormones and decrease sperm counts.
And these facilities and chemicals are just the tip of a toxic iceberg. Our investigations give just a snapshot of the kind of toxic chemicals that are being released by the textile industry into waterways all over the world -- every day.
You can be the champions of clean water: show us the vision, commitment and desire to smash the current second-rate policies towards hazardous chemicals out of the park and hit a home-run for a toxic-free future.
Some images from a year-long investigation into toxic water pollution from the textile industry in China.

In our Hidden Consequences report, we showed with a few case studies how Switzerland, the US, Slovakia, and the Netherlands are still paying for the mistakes of washing toxic chemicals down the drain during their years of rapid industrialization.
Decades of effort have yet to entirely clean up PCBs from the Hudson river, and Dutch deltas are still contaminated with hazardous chemicals from the industrial expansion that followed the Second World War. We don't need to make those mistakes again in China and other parts of the world: safe alternatives exist for many of these chemicals.
Yet while concentrations of some of the chemicals we found have been falling in the US, they've been increasing in China. Developing and rapidly industrialising countries produce nearly 75 percent of the world's clothing exports, and China has been the world's leading exporter of textiles and clothing since 1995.
One of the rules of Detox is that you can't just move your manufacturing out of one country when the ref calls foul and get your game on in one where the ref isn't looking. This is a global problem, and it requires global solutions.
We wish we could say you're alone on this playing field, but fact is you're not the only brands that are linked to these polluting facilities. There's a full list in the report.
We're calling you out because when it comes to sportswear, you're the front runners, the top dogs, the pace-setters; you have the greatest impact on the supply chain. We think you can take this race to a whole different place, and team-up with your suppliers to eliminate all toxic chemicals from your supply chain and products.
You've got the power to detox our sportswear, detox our water and ultimately, detox our future.
Here's how you can grab the gold medal:
Second prize: there is no second prize.
Whether you're "All in" with Adidas or believe in the Nike motto to "Just do it", you can challenge the brand you wear to win the race to a clean finish. Which competitor is going to deliver the turnaround-jump-shot slam-dunk blitz record-time hole-in-one ace -- in the game of creating a green and toxic-free future?
Here's how you can make your favourite brand a winner:
Over the past years you, our 11 million subscribers and supporters worldwide have been changing the face of earth-destructive industries by challenging their leading brands. You've helped reduce toxic chemicals in the computer industry with the successful Green My Apple campaign. You've convinced Coca Cola to remove climate-killing chemicals from their refrigerators. You've stopped a major cause of Amazon forest destruction by challenging the soy purchasing policies of McDonald's and other fast-food brands. You've battled forest destruction by getting Unilever and Nestle to drop contracts with palm oil suppliers sourcing from deforestation through pressure on their Dove and Kit-Kat brands. You've recently convinced Lego to stop using packaging from the habitat of the sumatran tiger.Barbie, Facebook, and Volkswagen are all feeling the heat of current corporate campaigns to end deforestation and stop climate change.
You have the power to change Nike and Adidas, and with them, an entire industry. Clean water is not only a basic human right - it is the world's most threatened essential resource. We're asking governments to commit to zero discharge of hazardous chemicals within a generation. But governments are slow -- the real players in changing industry are the global brands and corporate decision-makers who set policies about what they buy and where they buy it. It's time to Detox our world. It's time to demand Nike and Adidas blaze the trail.

Sometimes, I think my TV remote has a mind of its own. Nine times out of ten, it's not where I want it when I sit down. I figure it must get up and leave when I'm not looking. Same thing goes for all my other controls ... never around when I need them (much like gas stations). This cool sofa caddy keeps everything right at my fingertips, The pockets all have the perfect expandable gusset: big enough to easily slide stuff in and out, but not so big that things topple out.
Proving you can mix and match designer fabrics, we used coordinating Amy Butler and Vicki Payne fabrics, both in decorator weight. You really need the extra heft of a decorator weight fabric for both strength and stability. The background fabric is an Amy Butler's Decorator Solid. The patterned fabric is from Vicki Payne's Bark Home Decor.
Sewing Tools You Need
- Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome Memory Craft 6600P)
Fabric and Other Supplies
- Fabric for base: 1 yard of 54" decorator weight fabric: we used Amy Butler's Decorator Solids in Brown
- Fabric for binding and pockets: ½ yard of 54" decorator weight fabric: we used Vicki Payne's Bark Home Decor in Bars – Bark
- Gripper fabric: one piece apx 20" x 4"
NOTE: this is like the traction fabric used on the bottom of feetie pajamas - it can be found in stores and online under the names Slipper Gripper and Jiffy Grip
- All purpose thread
- See-through ruler
- Fabric pencil
- Iron and ironing board
- Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
- Straight pins
Getting Started
Some important notes on sizing
Our pocket sizes were determined based on the things we wanted to store; you'll have different stuff, and you can change the pocket sizes to get the best fit. Remember, the pockets can go horizontally or vertically. Do whatever works best in your space. We needed the following items handy: a Logitech Harmony 800 remote, an iPhone 352, and a Sonos Controller 200.
Chairs vary a lot, especially the style of their arms. So before you decide our measurements are going to be perfect for your chair and your arm, we recommend grabbing your cloth tape measure, a note pad and a pencil, and heading on over to the chair for which you're making this chair caddy. Lift up the chair's cushion and insert the end of the tape measure about half way under (make sure you insert the 1" end). Drop the cushion back into place, then continue measuring up and over the arm, finally letting the other end of the tape measure fall to the floor. Sit in the chair, but do not start watching TV! Instead, place your arm over the arm of the chair and gauge a comfortable reach for the pockets. Grab the tape measure at the points you think are good for the pockets, note these measurements on your pad of paper. Finally, get out of the chair (I know .... bummer!) and pick your bottom point. How long you make the caddy will depend on how many pockets you want; it's totally up to you and your chair (you two talk it over). My only note: it doesn't usually look good to have it go all the way to the floor.
Now it's time to cut
- Lay out base (solid) fabric and measure, draw and cut a rectangle 10" wide x 44" high.
- All the pockets have side gussets for expansion and an inside lining for stability. The lining fabric folds over the top to mimic binding. This means 3½" must be added to the finished width and ¼" to the finished height for the outside or printed fabric. And, 3½" must be added to the finished width and 1¼" to the finished height for the inside or solid fabric.
- For our sample, we chose two tall pockets and one wide pocket.
Pocket 1: Finished size needed to be 4" wide x 6" high. From the printed fabric we cut a rectangle 7½" wide and 6¼" high. And from the solid fabric we cut a rectangle if 7½" wide and 7¼" high.
Pocket 2: Finished size needed to be 3" wide x 6" high. From the printed fabric we cut a rectangle 6½" wide and 6¼" high. And from the solid fabric we cut a rectangle if 6½" wide and 7¼" high.
Pocket 3: Finished size needed to be 8" wide x 3½" high. From the printed fabric we cut a rectangle 11½" wide and 3¾" high. And from the solid fabric we cut a rectangle if 11½" wide and 4¾" high.
- For the edge binding, cut two strips of the printed fabric 2" wide x 11" long and two strips of printed fabric 2" wide x 45" long.
NOTE: You'll need to cut these pieces across the width of your 54" decorator fabric.
- Cut a strip of gripper fabric 10" wide x 4" high. Finish the raw edges with pinking shears or a pinking rotary cutter. You could also serge the edge or fold under ¼" and edge stitch. This gripper fabric will help make your caddy extra resistant to slipping.
At Your Sewing Machine
Constructing the base
- Place the 10" x 4" gripper fabric against the back side of the base fabric, positioning it 4" from top edge and edge-to-edge across the width. Pin.
- Edgestitch in place.
- If gripper fabric does not slide freely under your machine's presser foot, place a sheet of wax paper over the gripper fabric and stitch on top of the wax paper. The wax paper tears away from the stitching easily when finished.
- Take your four pieces of binding fabric and create double fold binding tape. Iron each strip in half, right sides facing out, then open and fold each edge to the middle. Press both new folds, then fold in half again and press. This will create two strips of binding tape ½" x 11" and two strips ½" x 45". If you are new to creating binding, read our tutorial, Bias Tape: how To Make It & Attach It.
- First, sew the binding on each side of the base fabric.
- Then sew the binding to the top and bottom edges, overlapping the side bindings at each corner with a folded, finished edge.
- Again, for step-by-step help attaching binding, see our tutorial, Bias Tape: how To Make It & Attach It.
- Set your completed base piece aside.
Constructing the pockets
- Lay out all your printed and solid pocket pairs with right sides together. Line up the bottom edges of the solid and printed fabrics. The top edge of the solid fabric should extend 1" above the top edge of the printed fabric.
- For EACH pair: pin together, and using with ¼" seam allowance, stitch the two sides and the bottom edge. Leave the top edge open.
- Trim the bottom corners diagonally ( to make a cleaner point), turn all the pockets right side out and press.
- Take one pocket. Fold down the solid fabric top edge ½" and press. Fold it down another ½" to cover the top raw edge of the printed fabric. Press.
- Stitch along the edge of this folded 'faux binding' with a straight or zig-zag stitch. We chose a zig zag stitch.
- Repeat with remaining three pockets.
- To form the side gussets, fold each side of the pocket back 1½" and press to create a firm fold.
- Edgestitch along the fold and then stitch again 1/8" from the first edgestitching to create double stitching lines. Do this along both folds.
- Fan fold the side flap back towards the side edge. Press firmly. Fan fold the other side flap. Press.
- Repeat for each pocket. Set all the pockets aside.
- Lay out your base fabric piece and use your fabric pencil to draw guides for your pocket placement. If you're duplicating our design: measure 1" in from the left side edge and draw a 14" vertical line. Then, measure 1½" up from the bottom edge and draw a horizontal line straight across.
- With the intersecting corner as your guide, draw an 8" wide x 3½" tall rectangle. Measure 1" up from the top of this rectangle and draw another horizontal line straight across. With the new intersecting corner as your guide, draw a rectangle 4" wide x 6" high. From the right edge of this rectangle, measure 1" to the right and draw a third rectangle. It should be even along with bottom with the other but only 3" wide x 6" high. The far right edge should be perfectly aligned with the right edge of the pocket below.
- Using your drawn lines as guides, square up the largest pocket first (in our sample, the #3 pocket). Line up the right hand side of the pocket with the right vertical line and the bottom of the pocket with the bottom horizontal line.
- Pin the pleated edge to the base fabric along both sides.
- Edgestitch each side of the pocket to the fabric base, then stitch again about 1/8" from the first edgestitching line. Leave the bottom edge open. Remove from the machine.
- Fold the gussets out to their final position and pin the the bottom edge of the pocket to the base fabric. Stitch the bottom closed by edgestitching through all layers, then stitch again about 1/8" from the first edgestitching line. Start and stop these seams at the corners to best match the vertical stitching lines of the gusset's fold.
- Lay pocket #1 on the base fabric, lining up the bottom and left side edge with your drawn lines on the left side and bottom. Pin and stitch as indicated above in steps 15-16.
- Lay pocket #2 on the base fabric, lining up the bottom and left side edge with your drawn rectangle. Pin and stitch as indicated above in steps 15-16.
- Slide your caddy under your chair cushion and up and over the arm. Adjust so the pockets fall within arm's reach.
Hints and Tips
What are all those double stitching lines for?
These pockets need to hold some heavy things, and the gussets need to flex in and out repeatedly. The double lines of stitching keep the seams nice and secure. Double lines for double strength!
Stitching through the layers
When you're sewing the pockets to the base fabric, and you get to the corners, you will be stitching through a lot of layers!
Go slowly and carefully. Rather than using the foot pedal, sometimes it helps to use your machine's handwheel to crank through the last half to quarter inch, and go stitch-by-stitch.
This is also the time to use your lock stitch button if you have one. If you don't, hit reverse and use the handwheel again to back tack a few stitches.

less than 60 families lived within its borders and 17 years before
Michigan became a state. Oakland County's first clerk, Sidney Dole, was
appointed by territorial governor, Lewis Cass.
In 1958, the Clerk and Register of Deeds offices were combined
by action of the Oakland County Board of Supervisors. Oakland County is
one of a few Michigan's counties to operate a combined office.

The Sox announced this afternoon that they've placed Colon on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to July 25) due to right elbow inflammation. In turn, they purchased the contract of left-hander Randy Williams from Class AAA Charlotte. Colon was scratched from tonight's against the Twins and Jose Contreras was tabbed to fill in. The move allows manager Ozzie Guillen to keep Richard in the rotation. Richard won his last start on Sunday, beating Detroit.
Randy Williams' stats.

I've been focusing on stress a lot lately in this blog. As if stress isn't bad enough, couple it with chemo brain and I'm having a bad week! I have written about chemo brain often over the past three years of blogging. Those of us that experienced it after chemotherapy treatments are finding that there are lingering symptoms of fuzzy brain, forgetfulness and mixed up words and thoughts. At my middle age it's easy to write it off to age, but because these symptoms assaulted me right after I went through chemotherapy, I have remained suspicious. These past months, maybe because I am managing the symptoms better, I found they were lessoning. Lately though as I have been dealing with stressful situations, I have found stress has exacerbated the cognitive problems. I have to wonder if this bad joke called breast cancer is trying to get the last laugh in.
Symptoms that generally seem related to chemo brain and most often complained about by breast cancer survivors are fatigue, brain fog, forgetfulness and cognitive issues like recalling words and thinking problems through. In the past weeks I have said and written the wrong word other then the one I intended to use several times and I am often finding myself wondering what I am doing looking in a drawer or a closet; I just can't remember what I started looking for. I have even shampooed my hair 3 times because I'm not sure I did it the first 2.
After taking time to look into any new info on chemo brain, I found an interview on Bernadine Cimprich, Ph.D., R.N., associate professor of nursing at the University of Michigan Nursing School. She has been studying chemo brain extensivly over the past years. I first heard about her from a member of the genetics team that I worked with in 2005 to test for the BRCA gene mutation. Her recent interview includes a lot of information and tips for dealing with chemobrain. I've included the link at the bottom of this blog if you want to read her interview. Chemo brain can linger for years after treatment, and many oncologists are not sympathetic; believing that it doesn't exist. I have learned to manage my symptoms, but dealing with stress has made it more difficult. It is almost like living with a minor disability at times, although I would only tell you (my dear readers) that!

Are You a Red or Black Letter Christian?
We believe and seek to put in to action the red letter words in the Holy Bible spoken by Jesus. The goal of the group is to advance the message that our faith cannot be reduced to only two hot button social issues - abortion and homosexuality. Fighting poverty, caring for the environment, advancing peace, promoting strong families, and supporting a consistent ethic of life are all critical moral and biblical values.Additionally, under the subtitle, "Why We Are Speaking Out" the group says:
For decades, leaders of the Religious Right have attempted to convince Christians and the American public that people of faith and strong moral values have only one option when it comes to voting. This narrow view continues to overshadow the majority of Christians in America whose faith motivates them to care deeply about a range of ethics and values. Our nation is hungry for an open dialogue on moral values and its role in the public square. God is not a Republican or a Democrat, and candidates should be measured by examining an array of social and economic issues.Jim Wallis, editor-in-chief of Sojourners Magazine recounted in an article on his website entitled, "Red Letter Christians: Somehow, Jesus Has Survived Even the Church" how this term first came to be used:
"I'm a secular Jewish country music songwriter and disk jockey," my interviewer on a Nashville radio station said. "But I love your stuff and have been following your book tour." He told me he loved my "riffs" and would like to spend an evening together just to get some lines for new music. "You're a songwriter's dream." Then he told me he believed we were starting a new movement, but noticed we hadn't come up with a name for it yet. "I've got an idea for you," he said. "I think you should call yourselves 'The Red Letter Christians,' for the red parts of the Bible that highlight the words of Jesus. I love the red letter stuff."Wallis goes on to say that,
The truth is that there are many people who like the "red letter stuff," and many of them are not even Christians. Try it yourself sometime. Go out on the street or to your school or workplace and take a poll. Ask people what they think Jesus stood for. You're likely to hear things like "stood with poor people," or "compassionate," or "loving," or "he was for peace."In another article on the Sojourner's site, Tony Campolo weighs in with a commentary called, "What's a 'Red-Letter Christian'?" (originally published by BeliefNet on 2-27-06). In this article he further explains the motivation to refer to himself and others as "Red-Letter Christians":
In those red letters, He calls us away from the consumerist values that dominate contemporary American consciousness. He calls us to be merciful, which has strong implications for how we think about capital punishment. When Jesus tells us to love our enemies, he probably means we shouldn't kill them. Most important, if we take Jesus seriously, we will realize that meeting the needs of the poor is a primary responsibility for His followers.Moving on to "Black Letter Christians", Bruce Prescott says regarding them that they
. . . believe that the words of Jesus are too liberal and utopian for life in the real world. While claiming allegiance to biblical authority, in practice they deny any temporal authority for the words of Jesus. They emphasize the values of the neo-conservative police state -- pre-emptive strike defense, unregulated capitalism, social darwinism and Christian nationalism.I find that these sort of distinctions only blur the debate that should be the focal point of discussion between moderate, liberal, and conservative Christians - and that is the authority of the Bible. What we have seen throughout history is that the axis upon which all of Christianity turns is the Biblical witness. When Christians have been made to emphasize one aspect of the Biblical record to the exclusion of another, then the Gospel itself has been compromised. So the question remains, "Which group is de-emphasizing certain parts of the Biblical text - 'Red Letter Christians' or 'Black Letter Christians'?" Bruce Prescott seems to indicate that it is the "Black Letter Christians" who are doing so, but since he seems to have invented the distinction, then the burden of proof rests on him to actually prove that what these Christians are doing is ignoring the words of Jesus to act in certain ways politically (which is a whole 'nother topic, given that Prescott blurs the lines here between political action and living out a Biblical worldview). What we can gather from Prescott's article is that it is certain that "Red Letter Christians" do ignore or de-emphasize a portion of the Biblical record in favor of another portion. Notice his words here:
While recognizing the authority of the entire Bible, "Red Letter" Christians believe that the words of Jesus should have precedence when weighing biblical values. They emphasize the values of peace, justice, equality and the common good. They are concerned about poverty, global warming, human rights, and health care.Ignoring the fact that Jesus never spoke on global warming or heath care (and I say that not because I believe that to be a legitimate critique of Prescott's position, but because I find it a bit interesting given that Prescott must go outside the "Red Letters" to find support for such a position Biblically), what Prescott has done here is to openly admit that he and others who consider themselves "Red Letter Christians" actually do place an emphasis on certain passages. What we have seen in history is that this generally results in causing those who hold this type of view to do so to the detriment and exclusion of other relevant and authoritative Scripture passages (from early on certain figures like the Docetics, the Gnostics, and men like Arius and particularly Marcion, whose opposition to the Old Testament was starkly refuted by Tertullian, flesh out this tendency).
Additionally, what I think is happening here is exactly what began transpiring in the Southern Baptist Convention many years ago and eventually was brought to a head during the Conservative Resurgence (*note: this comment is not meant to endorse all the actions that took place during that time period in SBC life, but merely to point out that this sort of debate regarding the authority of Scripture provided a spark that resulted in the the conservative, moderate, and liberal in-fighting during those years). And so over the next week or so I hope to publish an article or two that deals with the idea of whether certain points of Scripture ought to be emphasized above other parts and on whether or not "Black Letter Christians" do in fact de-emphasize the words of Jesus, as Prescott has charged. Meanwhile I welcome your thoughts about the validity of such a distinction.

New research shows that even a single alcoholic drink per day can increase your risk of developing certain types of cancer, including breast cancer in women.
Though people have long believed that a glass or two of wine can be good for your heart, the new study, conducted in conjunction with researchers in the U.S., Canada, and France, shows that the cancer risks far outweigh any heart-healthy benefits.
"Alcohol has long been known and recognized as a human carcinogen, so even some alcohol consumption raises your risks," Dr. Timothy Naimi, an alcohol researcher at Boston University's School of Public Health and a physician at the Boston University Medical Center who helped design and direct the study, stated. "On the balance of all people who begin drinking, many more people are killed by alcohol than helped by it."
"No public health body or clinical body recommends that people start drinking to improve their health," he added.
The research, published Friday in the American Journal of Public Health, relied on existing data about cancer deaths, alcohol consumption, and risk estimates from other scientific studies. It marks the first time that researchers have examined alcohol-related cancer rates in 30 years.
They found that alcohol could be blamed for about 20,000 cancer deaths each year, or 1 out of every 30 cancer deaths in the United States, which was about what they expected. But while heavy drinkers faced the highest risks, about a third of those deaths were among people who drank only small amounts of alcohol—1.5 alcoholic drinks or fewer per day. And it didn't matter what type of drink was consumed; standard servings of beer (12 ounces), wine (5 ounces), and hard liquor (1.5 ounces) all contain the same amount of alcohol.
While more men die from alcohol-related cancers than women (men do tend to drink more), women have more adverse consequences from drinking, not only because they tend to have less body mass than men, but because they also metabolize alcohol less efficiently. The study found that about 6,000 female breast cancer deaths each year—or 15 percent—could be attributed to alcohol consumption; for men, cancers of the mouth, throat, and esophagus were the most common types of alcohol-related cancer. Alcohol is also linked to cancer of the liver, colon, and rectum.
The study also eliminated the common misconception that Europeans, especially in France and Germany, are healthier than Americans even though they drink plenty of alcohol. If Europeans are healthier, Naimi said, it's not likely because of their drinking habits: The number of cancer deaths attributable to alcohol in Europe was higher than in the United States.
Researcher acknowledge that people are unlikely to give up alcohol altogether. "In general, drinking less is better than drinking more, and for people who drink excessively it's something to think about," Naimi said. "Alcohol is a big preventable cancer risk factor that has been hiding in plain sight."
