There's been a lot of talk lately about the possibility of the New England Patriots going 19-0 this season. But Robert Kraft isn't buying into it.
"That is ridiculous," the Patriots owner said when asked about the possibility of an undefeated season in an interview with NBC Boston ahead of Thursday's season opener. He said the road to repeat as Super Bowl champions is paved with obstacles.
"Part of the privilege of winning a championship, you pick at the bottom rounds (of the draft) and you get one of the toughest schedules," he said.
U.S. & World
Kraft points to weeks 10 and 11, back-to-back games at Denver and in Mexico City versus the Raiders. Both of those games will be played at high altitude.
While he might not expect a perfect season, Kraft is confident the Patriots have a championship caliber team, even with the pre-season injury to wide receiver Julian Edelman.
"It was just so sad," Kraft said of the injury. "It definitely has to impact, but it creates opportunities for others.
He hopes some of the young receivers rise to the occasion, as well as oft-injured tight end Rob Gronkowski.
"We hope that he can stay on the field now that he's eating avocado ice cream," Kraft said, referring to Gronkowski's recent adoption of parts of Tom Brady's diet and workout regimen.
When asked about Brady playing into his late 40's, the Patriots owner said nobody works out harder or cares for himself better than Brady.
"His durability has been unbelievable, so I wouldn't argue against him."
Kraft said any discussion between him and head coach Bill Belichick regarding Brady's future is private. But he did say that he thinks the decision on when Brady should quit will come from Brady.
"When Tommy doesn't believe he can play at the highest level, he'll come to us. When he feels he can't perform at that level, I think he himself will make the decision."
For now, there is no question about Brady's readiness for 2017. He's coming off a momentous comeback from a 28-3 deficit against the Atlanta Falcons and a Super Bowl MVP performance.
"I knew when we tied the game, that it was over then," Kraft said.
One of the reasons Kraft said he cites last year's Super Bowl win as, "unequivocally the sweetest" was winning the championship after Brady served a four-game suspension for his involvement in "Deflategate." The suspension was enforced by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who Kraft once called a friend. Kraft now said he has a "professional relationship" with Goodell. He maintains the Patriots and Brady were treated unfairly.
"You put it in a box. You don't forget it, but you try to move on. The sweetest thing is we won the Super Bowl."
That was the Patriots' fifth Super Bowl under Kraft's ownership. But what would he have said to a younger Robert Kraft in 1994 when he originally bought the team?
"I'd say, 'You're nuts to pay that price for one of the worst teams in the NFL,'" he said.
Kraft was a 23-year season ticket holder prior to buying the Patriots for $172 million, the most money that had ever been paid for an NFL franchise.
"What people didn't understand was fan support. It was carried for zero in the balance sheet and it was worth a fortune if they felt they had the right leadership."
Kraft's judgment and investment has proven to be stellar. The Patriots are now worth $3.4 billion, according to Forbes.

Rainbow Bridge Records (US) [RB1985] 1985
The Honeyrappers were Cheryl Burton, Kim Armstrong and Trina Green. They were cheerleaders for the Chicago Bears called the Chicago Honey Bear Cheerleaders and recorded this record for fun as a demo to share with their friends. It was a rallying cry for the Bears and was based around the bassline of Harold Faltermeyer's 'Axel F'. Unbeknown to them it was leaked to the local radio stations which created enough hype that they released it on vinyl.
The cheerleaders were disbanded following the 1985 season but Greg Schwartz trade marked the name and transformed them into a dance company which toured the country.
Cheryl Burton went on to become an anchor for Chicago's ABC 7 Eyewitness News.
There were a couple of pressings for this release which had the same track listing but different labels and sleeves.
I couldn't find a YouTube video of the track so will upload it at a later date.

July 17 (Reuters) - Texas Instruments Inc said on Tuesday Brian Crutcher has resigned as the company's chief executive officer and president, as well as a member of its board due to violations of its code of conduct.
Chairman Rich Templeton will reassume the roles of chief executive officer and president, the company said.
"The violations are related to personal behavior not consistent with the company's ethics and core values, but not related to company strategy, operations or financial reporting," Texas Instruments said.
The company's shares fell as much as 2.5 percent in after-market trading. (Reporting by Arjun Panchadar in Bengaluru)

I started having blood in my urine two days ago after strenuous weight lifting and aerobic workouts for cardiac rehabilitation, three times a week. Also, my left side hurts. It is not a lot of blood, and it starts and stops.
— Betty, Illinois
Seeing blood in the urine can be very upsetting. There are a multitude of potential causes, some benign, others more significant. Discovering the cause is based almost entirely on your medical history: Was there any trauma, are you taking any drugs, what is the nature of the blood — small amounts, even tiny, or are there clots? — and do you have any associated symptoms? The long list of potential causes includes kidney stones, which are usually associated with significant pain; primary kidney problems, including diseases that cause inflammation, such as glomerulonephritis; trauma, such as a car accident; and medications that interfere with clotting, such as warfarin. Abnormal growths, including cancer, can also be the source of blood in the urine.
Strenuous exercise, including both weight lifting and aerobic training, can cause blood to appear in the urine. There is a specific condition known as march hematuria, which was originally described after soldiers experienced blood in their urine following long marches. Patients who are part of a cardiac rehabilitation program may also be on medications that "thin" the blood and may lead to blood in the urine.
The typical workup for blood in the urine includes tests to check clotting (particularly if the patient is on any medications that may interfere with this process), radiology exams such as CT urography, and cystoscopy — a look into the bladder with an endoscope.

In late March, Uma Thurman was on vacation on St. Barts with her ex-lover Andre Balazs, the President of André Balazs Properties, that includes hotels across America. After a couple of trips, the couple was no longer seen up until yesterday: at the recent New York Met Gala. For the first time since 2007, Uma and Andre appeared together in public, thus confirming their decision to renew the relationship.
Thurman and Balazs started dating back in the 2004, and three years later they quietly broke up. As it turned out, for eight years.
Like Uma, Andre has children from a previous marriage – two daughters. We remind you that Thurman was married to Gary Oldman and Ethan Hawke, while with Arpad Busson the actress had a civil marriage.

Federal Court Of Appeals Rejects New Constitutional Challenge To Obamacare
A Federal Appeals Court has rejected a challenge to Obamacare based on a somewhat obscure provision of the Constitution.
While much attention was paid last week to the dueling opinions from the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and Fourth Circuits regarding the issue of whether or not the subsidies provided for under the Affordable Care Act applied to policies purchased through the exchanges established by the Federal Government rather than the states, there was another case pending in the D.C. Circuit that has the potential to gut the entire PPACA in one fell swoop. At the root of this case is a provision of the Constitution called the Origination Clause, sometimes also the Revenue Clause, which is set forth in Article I, Section 7, Clause one, which provides that "[a]ll Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills." In other words, all bills that raise taxes must originate in the House of Representatives and, if they don't, they are null and void, although as we'll see below there are several exceptions to that general rule.
In the case that was pending before the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the Plaintiff made the argument that the PPCACA was invalid under the Origination Clause because the final bill that Congress passed actually originated in the Senate and then was voted on by the House. Since the Affordable Care Act contains a provision that includes the raising of revenue in the form of the tax penalties that would be imposed on people who did not purchase insurance, as well as as tax on medical devices and other forms of revenue intended to finance the health care reform package, the suit argues that the law is null and void because it failed to comply with the requirements of the clause.
What actually happened leading up to the passage of the PPACA in March 2010 is a bit more convoluted than that, but still appears to have been done in a way that satisfies the requirements of this somewhat obscure Constitutional provision. In late 2009, the Senate took a House bill on another issue that had been pending in the Senate and amended it to strip out the language that had been passed by the House and replace it with the language of the Senate's version of what eventually became the PPACA. That Senate bill was sent back to the House for consideration and, after a long debate, the House passed both the original bill that the Senate had passed and an Amendment bill called the Health Care And Education Reconciliation Act that included both changes to the Senate bill and additional unrelated items that were used as inducements to get support in the House for the core Senate bill. Because Scott Brown had been elected to replace Ted Kennedy in January 2010, thus meaning that the Democrats had lost their filibuster proof majority in the Senate, it became necessary to craft the second bill to allow the Senate to pass it under the Reconciliation process, which limits amendments and the ability to filibuster. Ultimately, both bills were passed with Amendments and President Obama signed them into law. (To the extent you're interested, you can find more details about the legislative history of the PPACA and the HCERA at the links provided.)
Previously, the Federal District Court in Washington, D.C. had rejected the Origination Clause arguments made by the Plaintiff in this case, an Iowa artist who claimed to be damaged by the passage of the act due to the costs it would impose on him. Today, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals agreed with the District Court and ruled that the Origination Clause was not a bar to the Affordable Care Act:
WASHINGTON — President Obama's health care law survived a long-shot challenge Tuesday when a federal appeals court panel tossed out a lawsuit that contested the way it was enacted by Congress.
The three-judge panel ruled unanimously that Congress did not violate the Constitution's Origination Clause, which requires "bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives."
In the case of the health-care law, the Senate in 2010 took a House revenue bill, erased everything but the bill number, and inserted the health-care law. But the appeals court panel said that was irrelevant, because the law's requirement that individuals purchase health insurance does not make it a tax bill.
"It is beyond dispute that the paramount aim of the Affordable Care Act is 'to increase the number of Americans covered by health insurance and decrease the cost of health care,'" Judge Judith Rogers said. She was joined by Judges Cornelia Pillard and Robert Wilkins, both named to the court by Obama
"Where, as here, the Supreme Court has concluded that a provision's revenue-raising function is incidental to its primary purpose, the Origination Clause does not apply. The analysis is not altered by the fact that the shared responsibility payment may in fact generate substantial revenues."
Lyle Denniston has more detail on the opinion:
Under the phrase in the Constitution known as the "Origination Clause," a federal bill to raise revenue must originate in the House, rather than the Senate. In Sissel's lawsuit, he contended that the ACA individual mandate was a revenue-raising bill — because it has the potential of bringing in about $4 billion in penalties for those who don't obtain health insurance — and thus had to begin its Capitol Hill journey in the House.
The lawsuit argued that the mandate was something that originated in the Senate, because the Senate in 2009 took a House-passed bill dealing with something else entirely and used that as the vehicle to enact the massive new health care law, including the individual mandate.
The D.C. Circuit did not rule on whether, in fact, the mandate had originated in the Senate instead of the House, because it opted instead to rule that the measure did not even come under the Origination Clause because its purpose was to expand health care coverage for millions of Americans, rather than to raise federal revenues.
The court of appeals relied on a series of prior Supreme Court precedents — which, it said, stand for the principle that the Origination Clause applies only when the primary purpose of legislation is to raise money for the government, and thus does not reach a bill that only incidentally would produce some revenue.
Circuit Judge Judith W. Rogers wrote the opinion, joined by Circuit Judges Cornelia T.L. Pillard and Robert L. Wilkins. The ruling could be challenged in a request for rehearing before the full D.C. Circuit or review by the Supreme Court.
Timothy Sandefur, who represents the Plaintiff/Appellant in this case, obviously disagrees with the ruling:
Today's decision, written by Judge Judith Rogers and joined by Judges Cornelia Pillard and Robert Wilkins, holds that while the mandate may be a "tax," it isn't a "bill for raising revenue," and is therefore exempt from the Origination Clause.
What's the difference between a tax and a bill for raising revenue? Some court decisions have held that there are things that may appear to be taxes but are actually only penalties designed to enforce other kinds of laws. For example, in a 1943 case called Rodgers v. United States, the court of appeals said that a tax that was imposed on people for growing more wheat than the government allowed (that's the same wheat law that was at issue in the infamous Wickard v. Filburn) wasn't really a tax, but just an enforcement penalty or a fine. Such penalties aren't "bills for raising revenue," so they don't have to start in the House.
The problem with that line of argument is that in NFIB v. Sebelius, the Supreme Court said that the individual mandate, whatever else it might be, is not a penalty or a fine. That's just why Chief Justice Roberts concluded that it was a tax! And that means that no such exemption should apply.
Today's D.C. Circuit decision acknowledges this, but holds that there is another variety of tax that isn't a "bill for raising revenue." And that is, taxes whose "main object or aim" is something other than generating income for the government. According to this "purposive approach," the court says, the court should look to "the primary aim" of the bill to decide whether the Origination Clause applies—without regard for whether it will "generate substantial revenues."
But the Supreme Court has never endorsed this vague "purposive approach," and for good reason. Laws often have many "objects or aims"—particularly in an era of massive omnibus bills. The ACA is over 2,000 pages long, with provisions on all sorts of different subjects. Which one is its "main" object? What is the "main" object of a "stimulus package" or a general appropriations bill? What about a tax imposed to support the military? Is its "main object" to raise money—or to support the military? If judges are free to decide what the "main object or aim" of a bill is, and to apply the Constitution or not accordingly, then they should at least have some objective criteria for making that call…and the court can point to none. That's because the Constitution makes no distinction, and the constitutional analysis does not hinge on what the "main object or aim" of a bill is. Instead, the question is whether the bill levies a tax, and puts that money into the general treasury for Congress to spend at will—which Obamacare's individual mandate tax does.
Worse, the vague "purposive approach" creates a loophole that the Senate can easily walk through to originate revenue-raising bills. All it needs to do is originate a tax by saying that its main purpose is some other thing.
The Court addressed the arguments that Sissel made, though:
Sissel contends, however, that the Supreme Court cases rejecting Origination Clause challenges merely embody "two exceptions" to the general "presumpt[ion]" that "[a]ll taxes" are subject to the Clause. Appellant's Br. 14; Reply Br. 6-7. He maintains that the Affordable Care Act does not fall within either exception because the Section 5000A payment neither funds a particular governmental program, as was true in Munoz- Flores, 495 U.S. at 397-98, nor enforces compliance with a statute passed under some other (non-taxing) constitutional power, as in Millard, 202 U.S. at 433. Yet even assuming Sissel is correct that the precedent can be classified in one or both of his categories, neither the Supreme Court nor this court has held that a statute must be so classifiable to avoid the requirements of the Origination Clause. All Sissel has demonstrated is that the Affordable Care Act's mandate does not fall squarely within the fact patterns of prior unsuccessful Origination Clause challenges, not that his challenge should succeed.
Sissel's interpretation of the taxing power also fails to adhere to Supreme Court precedent. In emphasizing that in NFIB the Court upheld Section 5000A solely as an exercise of Congress's taxing power, see NFIB, 132 S. Ct. at 2600, Sissel contends that the Section 5000A tax is presumptively subject to the Origination Clause because it "serves no constitutional purpose other than to raise revenue pursuant to Congress's taxing power." Reply Br. 7. This implicitly assumes that all exercises of the taxing power are necessarily aimed at raising revenue. In fact, "the taxing power is often, very often, applied for other purposes[] than revenue." 2 JOSEPH STORY, COMMENTARIES ON THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES § 962, p. 434 (1833), cited in NFIB, 132 S. Ct. at 2596. In United States v. Sanchez, 340 U.S. 42 (1950), the Supreme Court stated:
It is beyond serious question that a tax does not cease to be valid [under the taxing power] merely because it regulates, discourages, or even definitely deters the activities taxed. The principle applies even though the revenue obtained is obviously negligible, or the revenue purpose of the tax may be secondary. Nor does a tax statute necessarily fall because it touches on activities which Congress might not otherwise regulate. Id. at 44 (emphasis added; citations omitted).
That view was reiterated in United States v. Kahriger, 345 U.S. 22 (1953), where the Court upheld "a tax on persons engaged in the business of accepting wagers," id. at 23, notwithstanding the argument that "the sole purpose of the statute is to penalize . . . illegal gambling in the states through the guise of a tax measure," id. at 28, abrogated on other grounds by Marchetti v. United States, 390 U.S. 39 (1968). Because not all of Congress's exercises of the taxing power are primarily aimed at raising revenue, and a measure is a "Bill[] for raising Revenue" only if its primary purpose is to raise general revenues, some exercises of the taxing power are not subject to the Origination Clause. The Supreme Court's decisions in Nebeker and Millard confirm this point: Not all "taxes" are "Bills for raising Revenue." See Nebeker, 167 U.S. at 202; Millard, 202 U.S. at 436-37.
Because the Court ruled that the mandate penalty, although it is a tax for the reasons that the Supreme Court determined in 2012, is a tax it is not a bill for raising revenue as the Origination Clause states. While his may seem like a hyper-technical distinction to the lay observer, I'd suggest that it actually makes sense given the text of the Constitution. Elsewhere in Article One, for example, Congress is given the power to tax, and the word "tax" is specifically used. Arguably, the Founders had wanted the Origination Clause to apply to every bill that touched upon taxation then they could have used language to that effect. They didn't, and instead referred to bills for "raising revenue," thus strongly suggesting that the clause is only intended to apply to a very specific set of bills. Given the fact that the purpose of the clause was meant to be to ensure that the most representative branch of Congress have control over bills that would raise taxes, it is logical to conclude that the clause was only meant to apply to bills whose primary purpose is to raise revenue, not every bill that may increase some tax incidental to its primary purpose. As the Court of Appeals notes, this is what the limited number of cases that have dealt with the issue have said.
Since it ruled that the PPACA was not a bill for raising revenue and thus exempt from the Origination Clause, the Court did not reach the issue of whether or not the clause was actually violated here. Indeed, there does not to be very much case law on that subject or testing the question of whether or not the rather common practice of gutting a random House bill and amending it like the Senate did in December 2009 complies with the clause's requirements. My guess, though, is that a Court would be very reluctant to rule that this long-standing legislative practice is unconstitutional under these circumstances. In general, the Federal Courts have always been reluctant to rule on the propriety of the rules and practices of the Legislative Branch and, while the process used here is somewhat convoluted, it seems to me that it would be a stretch to say that it is unconstitutional.
Where this case goes from here is largely up to Sissel and his attorneys. The natural course would be an appeal to the Supreme Court, but they could also decide to request a hearing before the entire D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, both of which are entirely discretionary. In either scenario, though, the matter would eventually end up before the Justices, who would first have to decide whether or not to take the case. Given that there is no Circuit split on this issue, they could simply decide to decline the appeal and avoid the issue. However, given the likelihood that they are also likely to be dealing with appeals on the subsidy issue from the D.C. Circuit or the Fourth Circuit, and most likely both, they could decide to accept this case as well and thus set up yet another scenario in which the fate of Obamacare will be on the line at the Supreme Court. On this issue, though, I'd be pretty surprised if the Court ended up ruling in favor of the Plaintiff.
Here's the opinion:

Why should I Hire a Graphic Designer?
Why should I hire a graphic designer? This is a good question that often goes unanswered. You can find many online services that claim to charge $5 for a logo, however, you get what you pay for and these logos are often not even worth that. Many of these logo sites recycle logos and give them to the next person… why? Because they are so generic.
Many small businesses try to take shortcuts when they are starting up especially with the look and feel of their business, however this can be very costly in the long-term. Professional graphic design requires a true creative expert. The cheap online logo provider, or the one that that Dodgy Dave from down the pub created for you for £10 using his illegal version of Photoshop will not be the same quality as the one that has been customised for you and your business by a professional.
Good graphic designers will know what will work best for your business to allow it to communicate with your customers more effectively. They will know what your competition is doing, and will create a number of tailored outcomes using your preferences. The designer will also be able to create your logo and other marketing material into the correct format for the printers, and will also be able to advise you on the most cost effective paper stock to use, and printing methods.
It is important to note that graphic designers do not only create logos, they also create a wide range of branding materials such as :-
- Business Cards,
- Flyers / Leaflets
- Magazines
- Animations
- Promotional Materials
- Website imagery
- and many more
Here are 5 reasons that you should hire a graphic designer
1. A Graphic Designer Will Save You Money
A good Graphic Designer will know the correct layout, the correct paper stock and other cost effective ways to design your materials. By the time you have put your work into Microsoft Publisher (a program that printers hate and will create problems therefore costing more money and time), a designer will have used the correct software, added the crop and bleed marks and sent it to the printers in the correct format.
2. Good Designers Save You Time
Designers can work fast! Depending on the complexity of the project, they can create the project in a 3rd of the amount of time that you can create it using Publisher or PowerPoint. Do you really have time to be trying to create a logo and all other materials when you have other things to worry about?
3. Makes You Stand Out From Your Competition!
Having a unique look and feel will allow you to stand out from everyone else in your market. Having a cheap template that you bought online will differentiate you from other businesses, and therefore no one will remember you. You need marketing material that people will remember and want to keep.
4. Your Brand Stays Consistent When Utilising A Graphic Designer
So you've gone to the effort of hiring a designer, if you try to mimic his or her work, you will most likely get the look and feel wrong slightly, causing inconsistencies. The designer will know what colours, fonts, and imagery to use to ensure that your brand all works in harmony and is consistent.
5. You get the look & Feel That You Want
Many people have an idea what they want their business brand to achieve, but they struggle or have no way to convey them. A designer will be able to take your business ideas, and not only create something that looks good, but also create something that allows you to achieve your goals that you have set out for your marketing materials.
First impressions count, so don't start your business off on the wrong foot! Make an impression that lasts by having a professional graphic designer create the correct logo, and marketing material to help your business become the best in its field. Stand out from the crowd, improve your image and spend your money well first time by hiring a graphic designer from the get go. A good designer will work with your budget and help you decide what items you need to prioritise during your first year of business, and what you should consider as it grows.

We are planning to implement IBM DSI/other products in couple of requirements. But seems DSI is not successful product vs other event enabled products. Any suggestions for this ?
Answer by Jose_DeFreitas (56) | Jan 16, 2019 at 04:16 AM
Hi Viz, Thank you for your question.
DSI is successful in situations where:
temporal and spatial logic needs to be understood and communicated to business users. DSI's business rules and DSLs are relatively easy for users to learn and understand.
business logic requires large processing windows
there is a requirement for detecting missing events or scheduling of future events, potentially over long periods of time.
there is a requirement for detecting complex business situations, involving many events that happen over a long time period.
DSI - in its current implementation - is not intended for the 1K+ events per second that ESP products are good for, but it is important to point out that such products typically operate on smaller processing windows, address different use-cases and have different non-functional requirements. Often the best solution is to use a combination of both (CEP and ESP) to address the different functional and non-functional requirements of these 2 types of event processing. This results in a hierarchical and modular event-driven architecture that is easier to monitor and operate.
DSI continues to evolve. Version 8.10 contains performance enhancements and a new experimental 'Business Situation' feature designed to make detection of situations easier and more efficient.

Framed: 16 3/4 x 20 1/4 inches
Gennaro Befanio was born in Naples, Italy to French parents. We believe that he lived there until he was in his late teens to early 20's before moving to Paris. He studied in Naples under the guidance of Fillippo Palazzi (Italian, 1818-1899) at the Institut Napolitain des Beaux-Arts. Palazzi was later the President of the Beaux-Arts in Naples.
A painter of genre and of portraits, Befanio was a modern painter whose paintings were executed in an impressionist manner of a light palette combined with loose brushwork. His subject matter of choice was women and nudes by windows or stylish views of Paris such as we have here. He first began exhibiting in Paris in 1904 and thereafter at the Salon des Artistes Français where he received an honorable mention for the quality of the works he exhibited. In 1909, Befanio received a second class prize and the title Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur sometime shortly after 1920.
Beyond the twin towers marking the entrance to the Place du Carousel is where Befanio has set up his easel to paint this view. The Pavillon de Marsan, one of the twin towers cuts off the south side of the Louvre creating a closed in feeling. What is created is an intimate garden/park where visitors of the Louvre and pedestrians can enjoy the elegant architecture and gardens before going inside to stroll the wondrous galleries of the museum. This view was a favorite of the early Impressionists many decades preceding Befanio and it is re-explored time and time again by artists in Paris.

A trend tool from Google – Google Insight for Search
Google Insight for Search ad randomly popped up on top of my gmail inbox. In a quest of searching for a good post for Teckitech, i clicked on it and found it quite amazing and much similar to Wolfram Alpha.
A result from Google Insight for Search usually contains:
- a graph with the search volume, indicating interest over time for your terms, plotted on a scale from 0 to 100; the totals are indicated next to bars by the search terms (read more about how we scale and normalize the data)
- a breakdown of how the categories are classified
- lists of the top searches and top rising searches
- a world heat map graphically displaying the search volume index with defined regions, cities, and metros
It is also said to "analyzes a portion of worldwide Google web searches from all Google domains to compute how many searches have been done for the terms you've entered, relative to the total number of searches done on Google over time. You can choose to see data for select Google properties, including Web search, Image search, Product search, and News search (certain properties aren't currently available in all countries/territories)."
And the data seems to be updated once a day with the previous day's information. However, rarely "there may be slightly longer delays between updates".
The data from Google Insight for Search can be used freely but it is adviced you review their Terms of Service. If you choose to use the information you found, it is advised to appropriately attribute it to Google.
Some examples of using this service are:
Choosing advertising messages:
Insights can help you determine which messages resonate best. For example, an automobile manufacturer may be unsure of whether it should highlight fuel efficiency, safety, or engine performance to market a new car model.
When the three features are entered into Insights, we can see that there's a considerable amount of interest in car safety. With this information, the manufacturer may want to consider incorporating car safety into its marketing strategy.
Examining seasonality
Insights can be used to determine seasonality. For example, a ski resort may want to find out when people search for ski-related terms most often.
In this example, the same time frame (June through May) is being compared across several years.
The results are fairly consistent throughout the years: interest picks up in August and peaks in December and January. With this information, the ski resort can anticipate demand and make informed decisions about the appropriate allocation of everything from its advertising budget to staffing to resort resources.
Creating brand associations
Insights can be a helpful tool in creating brand associations. Take, for example, an advertising agency that needs to build a compelling advertising campaign for its client, a computer hardware company. The agency needs to know what competing brands are doing: how should they position their client's product against them?
When comparing laptops or notebook, it's useful to apply the Category filter, whereby the data will be narrowed down to just Computers & Electronics.
Carefully examining the resulting top related searches and the rising searches can help the agency better understand competitors' offers, thereby creating a campaign to differentiate their client's brand.
See some more examples and updated information.

My record is 7. The movie was Titanic. I was 13 going on 14. And although I've yet to see Titanic 3D (I promise I will, I've been sick, started a new job, and it was Easter), when I do, I won't add it to my count. Why? Because that dilutes the purity of the number.
There are plenty of movies that, by nature of them always being in theaters, are almost ineligible for this list. As my colleague Laura Hertzfeld points out, Rocky Horror likely can't cut it and neither would Star Wars for most. (With the caveat being if you were not alive when George Lucas first released his famous trilogy, then you can include any one theatrical run.)
With Hunger Games now in its third weekend, I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who've seen Katniss defy the Capitol more than once. After all, it is the type of movie that lends itself to repeat viewings — with the obsessive teenage fanbase leading the way. (I myself plan to see it again soon.)
I doubt any movie will ever compete for my time like Titanic did — all 21-plus hours of it. Especially since, as a 13-year-old, I had more time AND my parents' wallet to make it happen. Aladdin comes closest with four, but I bet my personal record is ultimately safe.
Taking into consideration my arbitrary rules, PopWatchers, what movie have you seen the most in theaters during its original theatrical run?

Real Life, Honest, Christianity
One of the things God has used to grow my relationship with Him the most over the years is other Christians. My mom used to tell me that I was a people person. I thrive on relationships with others. Connecting with others and getting to know the real them, I love it.
And God has used that in my life in some major ways.
Most notably, is that He has used the honesty of others to help me grow in Him.
The first time a Christian woman admitted to me that she didn't have it all together, a huge burden was lifted. Granted, she wasn't just any Christian woman, she was like super mom in my eyes. She was our pastor's daughter-in-law, super fit, and a stay-at-home-mom who was part of the worship team and an international missionary. I'm telling you, she was everything a good Christian should be, and she knew her Bible inside and out.
And then she confessed that she struggled with depression. That she questioned her faith because of an overwhelming feeling of worthlessness.
Another time the woman who hosted our Bible study confessed that her house wasn't always as clean as we saw it each week. In fact, she said if we showed up unannounced at any other time during the week, that it would be a wreck. Again, a huge burden was lifted.
Not because I rejoiced in their struggles, but because it made me realize that struggling was okay. That it was okay to be less than perfect.
This morning on Instagram, I posted a picture of my less-than-tidy quiet time assortment.
But it didn't really show the big picture.
Under my Bible study bar, we keep the girls roller skates, a couple of plants that haven't found new homes since we remodeled last spring, the kids backpacks (even a couple of empty ones that they aren't using right now), and currently, my Bible study bag that I got out this morning and forgot to put away.
Not shown in the picture is my pile of books, pencil caddy, and papers for the day's planning session. So even my untidy picture was tidier than reality.
It also didn't show that I took the kids to school in some scrubs, because I don't usually shower until mid-morning – you know, after my quiet time and workout session (the workout session I don't always get to that is).
The point is, it's easy to wear a mask and only let outsiders see what you want them to see.
It's easy to portrait yourself as having it all together to those who don't really know you.
But what a shame it is when we do that.
When we put ourselves on pedestals that we don't belong on in the first place, it can cause others to think less of themselves because they aren't as good as us.
As Christian women, it's easy to do that, I don't think any of us do it on purpose. I truly believe that most of us have a heart for Christ and are trying to show other women how to live for Him, but we need to know that God doesn't expect perfection.
Yes, Jesus told us to, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48). But I think that perfection comes less from our works, and more from our faith.
We will never be perfect this side of heaven, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) but "he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6).
If someone tells you that they never sin, then they are deceiving themselves–and you. For 1 John 1:8 says, "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us."
How much better would our lives be if we were honest about our struggles?
We all have them.
We all struggle with something.
1 Corinthians 10:13 tells us that, "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind." How great would it be to have other Christian women come alongside of us and let us know that we are not alone.
Let's face it, sometimes we need a flesh and blood woman of God to confirm what Scripture has already promised. It's easy to feel like no one would ever understand what we are going through. It's easy to convince ourselves that no one else fails the way we do. That no one struggles the way we do.
But they do.
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."
~ James 5:16
If you were honest, what is one thing you struggle with that you think other Christian women have rose above?
I'll go first, then you can share your answer in the comments below.
I already mentioned that it was a huge relief when I found out other Christian women struggled with depression and house cleaning. Those two are big for me.
However, I would love to know if other Christian women struggle with balancing their priorities. I know God needs to be first in my life. I know my biggest ministry needs to be to my family. But fleshing that out with the responsibilities and commitments I have, can sometimes pose a struggle for me. I'm getting better, but I still stumble and fall. I make the wrong choices on the best way to spend my time. And when I look at other Christian women, they appear to always make the right choices. Being amazing parents and wives, serving God, cleaning their homes, and working to support their families.
I know I only see the outside, so tell me, does anyone else struggle with balancing priorities and responsibilities?

Local Marketing with Direct Mail
How Direct Mail Can Be Effective for Local Marketing
Integrating Direct Mail into Your Local Marketing Campaigns
When it comes to direct mail marketing to local homeowners, there are a variety of approaches. The two most often used are mass distribution direct mail marketing like ValPak and Money Mailer and strategically targeted direct mail campaigns sent to a more defined audience with a more defined message from the local business. While each of these approaches can be effective when combined with other local marketing efforts – yard signs, truck wraps, involvement in Chamber of Commerce, locally focused Internet, mobile and social marketing – by themselves, they are usually very costly and generate far less return than the local business owner expects. So let's break down each of these and how to use them most effectively with other media sources.
Strategic direct mail marketing campaigns are the ones we are most fond of as they can have a very local and very personalized approach. For instance, a landscaping company can take pictures of a landscape design project they did for a home and incorporate it into a strategic direct mail campaign to the nearest 500 neighbors. With the proper messaging and incorporating Facebook ads, canvassing and door hangers into this campaign, this can be a very effective way of local marketing to the neighborhood.
Strategic direct mail marketing usually has a higher cost per distribution, yet can have a much higher return if done correctly. For instance, the strategic direct mail cost is usually around $1 per piece whereas mass distribution direct mail campaigns are usually less than 5 cents per piece. So let's explain the difference as we discuss mass distribution.
Mass distribution direct mail marketing is usually a bundle of ads in one envelope so that everyone is sharing in the cost of the distribution. Two that are popular are ValPak and Money Mailer. For around 5 cents per home, a local business can create an ad that goes inside this envelope with other ads and hit 50,000 for less than $2,500 in a one-time distribution. Most of the sources that provide this offering require one-year agreements, yet you can usually get by with a 3-6 month trial period.
The three common complaints about mass distribution campaigns are 1) low response rates, 2) the offers usually have to be discounts on services in order to gain their attention and 2) your ad can be placed in an envelope and mailed with competitors' ads. Response rates are usually low because fewer and fewer people open and go through these ads individually. However, if only 1% of the 50,000 do and 5% of them have a need for your services, that is 25 homeowners who may be calling you. To get them to call, you normally need some type of discount that equates to 10% or more off which again hurts your margin. If, however, you do get all 25 to call and the campaign costs $2,500, then you are paying $100 per lead (still far more than the target of around $50 for most local businesses).
No matter which approach you take, setting and measuring goals are important. Making it easy for your prospective clients to take action is very important – calling, completing a web form, scheduling online or through your app, etc. So make sure to make it easy for them.
Social180 helps our clients with far more strategically targeted direct mail campaigns than with the mass distribution approach. While we still have some clients who use the mass distribution approach, it is often for smaller, younger local businesses needing to at least get the word out and not as concerned with the types and locations of prospective clients. Strategic campaigns, on the other hand, may not yield 25 calls, but they are also much more qualified calls as competitors and others are not part of the distribution.

Ensure that your Employees Understand the Dangers of Chemicals
GHS, otherwise known as a "globally harmonized system," is a set of safety standards related to the classification of particular chemicals that may be used in the work environment. As a company, it's important that your employees understand chemical classifications in order to avoid any incidents that could otherwise threaten their health.
Making sure that chemicals are labeled properly allows employees to assess any danger and other elements in order to handle them accordingly.
CLMI provides a variety of DVD offerings related to chemicals management and global harmonization training. Through our globally harmonized system training video offerings, just some of the things we cover include the following:
- GHS labels and safety data sheets
- Spill assessment
- Hazard communication
- GHS certification and OSHA certification
- OSHA GHS training
By utilizing CLMI's safety training GHS videos, you'll be able to implement an effective globally harmonized training program throughout your business.

Mr Jaggers is a trial lawyer and it seems he has helped and is helping many people who are in trouble. He is very popular! Pip describes some of the people waiting about for Jaggers. He watches as Jaggers begins to interact with them. Jaggers demands to know from two men if they have paid Wemmich. The have. They want to talk with Jaggers but he "won't have it!" He says, waving them off, "If you say a word to me, I'll throw up the case." He then goes to two women and starts up a conversation with them, apparently about their case also.
Here is a scale like those usually used to represent "Law". Jaggers, on one side, is heavier than all the people on the other.
Here are my two head casts, coming along. I added some features. Moving slowly on this but will be done eventually! I'm thinking the two head casts in Jaggers's office were made from decapitated heads from criminals that Jaggers had represented. (ICK!)

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Fresh off shutout wins over Northeastern and UMass last weekend, No. 20 Harvard field hockey (5-1) opens Ivy League play against Yale (3-2) at Berylson Field on Friday at 6 p.m. before heading to No. 18 Maine (7-4) on Sunday at 1 p.m. Both games will air on ESPN+. Free Yard Cups will be available to all Harvard undergraduate students courtesy of The Harvard Shop.

What to Know
- Harvard is coming off two dominant defensive efforts against Northeastern (W, 2-0) and UMass (W, 4-0) last weekend, outshooting both opponents by a combined margin of 37-6. Goalkeeper Libby Manela made two saves against Northeastern on Friday to earn her third win of the season and eighth career shutout. Harvard did not allow a shot on goal against UMass, as first year goalkeeper Ellie Shahbo picked up her first career win. Against No. 3 Maryland on Sept. 9, Shahbo made 10 saves against the Terps, the most by a Harvard goalie since 2015 (Issy Davies, 11 saves vs. Maine, 9/13/15).
- Sophomore forward Natalie Sicher earned Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week honors after a breakout game against UMass, recording her first career hat trick. Sicher, who led the team with five shots on goal, scored twice in the first half and once in the second to single-handedly put Harvard up for good.
- Junior Casey Allen has seven points (goal, five assists) on the year and is fifth in the nation with an average of 0.83 assists per game. Bente van Vlijmen (seven goals, assist) leads the Ivy League in goal scoring and is seventh in the nation with an average of 1.17 goals per game.
- Harvard has won its last five meetings against Yale, and is 15-1 in its last 16 Ivy League contests overall. The Crimson leads the all-time series 24-15-7, winning last year's meeting (Sept. 23, 2017) in New Haven, 2-1, on a dramatic overtime goal by Tessel Huibregtsen, the first of her career.
- Maine leads the all-time series against Harvard, 6-2, but the Crimson has won two of the last three meetings between the two teams. Harvard won the last meeting, a 3-1 victory at Berylson Field on Sept. 25, 2016.
- Picked to finish second in the Ivy League in 2018, Harvard is coming off a year in which it set a school record for wins (13), finishing last year 13-4, including a 6-1 record in Ivy League play.
- Harvard finished the 2017 season fifth in the nation and tops in the Ivy League with an average of 3.82 goals per game. Bente van Vlijmen finished season with career best 24 points (11 goals, two assists) and was a Longstreth/NFHCA All-America second team selection for the second straight year.
At The Helm
Tjerk van Herwaarden enters his seventh season as the head coach of Harvard field hockey, with a 60-48 mark overall, and a 24-18 record in Ivy play. The Crimson is 15-1 in its last 16 Ancient Eight contests.
Next Up
Harvard will continue Ivy League play at Penn next Saturday (Sept. 29) before returning home the next day (Sept. 30) to host Bryant at 2 p.m. Both games will air on ESPN+.

Are you planning a trip from Dublin to Paris, but are having trouble sifting through your travel options and making a decision on how to get there? Dublin is a little less than 500 miles from Paris and separated by the Irish Sea and the English Channel, which makes flying the most logical choice.
But if you prefer not to fly for some reason or would like to make a stopover in London, travel by train and ferry from Dublin to Paris is always a good alternative. It can even make for a picturesque, leisurely way to see the UK, Irish Sea, and Irish countryside at a more contemplative pace, from the green hills to the crashing waves of the coastlines.
Flights From Dublin to Paris
International carriers including Aer Lingus and Air France and regional companies such as Ryanair offer several daily flights from Dublin to Paris, arriving at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport and Orly Airport. Flights to Beauvais Airport located in the far outskirts of Paris tend to be a cheaper option, but you'll need to plan on at least an extra hour and 15 minutes to get to central Paris.
Travel From Dublin to Paris by Ferry and Train
You can get from Dublin to Paris via a combination of ferry and train travel, but you'll need to count on a long trip with multiple transfers. The easiest solution is to take the ferry from Dublin to Holyhead, Wales, continue on to London via train, then take the high-speed Eurostar train, to Paris, which traverses the English channel via the "Chunnel." The London to Paris route on the Eurostar leaves from The St Pancras International rail station in central London and arrives at Paris Gare du Nord station. As mentioned, this option is not for the hurried traveler, but can be a good plan if a leisurely stop in London appeals to you.
Arriving in Paris by Plane? Ground Transport Options
If you're arriving in Paris by plane, you'll need to figure out how to get to the center of the city from the airports. Find out how by consulting our full article on Paris ground transport options. These include commuter trains, taxis, airline-run coaches, and municipal buses.

NetIQ Video
Treo 700p Tether with Linux
SUSE 10.2 on Dell Optiplex 320
...the blog
I'm really interested to see what he has to say. I'll post the interview as soon as it's done, so watch this space!
I'm going to try to do a new interview every so often, so if there is a SUSE community member you'd like to see interviewed, send me their name and maybe a question you'd like to see them answer.
Right now it is similar to a Wiki with links to download 9.3 or 10.0 Beta 1 (codenamed Prague) on the front page. Another prominent link on the front page is to the bug reporting procedure page; it lists detailed instructions and tips for reporting bugs. There is a lot of information over there and I am still going through it all. I said "similar to a Wiki" because with the exception of a couple of pages or discussion pages, most of the site can not be edited by visitors. I have no idea if this will change in the future.
I got an email yesterday, along with some other community members, from a SUSE representative about the new openSUSE and site. It also had some links to 10.0 torrents and the "Communicate" page attached. The email asserted that they did not want to replace the work we had done with our sites, but develop a new resource.
I don't know what this means for susewiki.org. In openSUSE.org's current state, It doesn't look like it is going to meet the same need as our Wiki, but this may change as the openSUSE site evolves. So there are no plans to do anything differently at the SUSE Wiki, we'll just continue to go on as normal. I want to point out that the content on the SUSE Wiki is released under the GNU FDL so it can be used anywhere (the openSUSE.org site, for example) in accordance with that license (more on that in a minute).
SUSEroot is my private toy, so I don't see anything changing over here except that I'll be adding some info about openSUSE in the near future.
Now, I was looking at the terms of use at the openSUSE.org site because I wanted to see if the content from the SUSE Wiki would be able to transfer over. In the footer of each page there is a link to their "Legal" page; in the Copyright Notice they state the site is released under the GNU FDL 1.2 or later, the same as the SUSE Wiki. It also includes some stipulations I hadn't seen before:
"no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts"
no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts
I don't know what that means, but I'm sure someone smarter than I can explain it.
On the same "Legal" page, there is a link to a "Terms of Site" page. It is "Legalese" and most of it might as well be in Sanskrit for all the sense it makes to me, but there were a couple of sections that struck me:
"Any material, information or other communication You transmit or post to this web site (including, but not limited to, ideas, suggestions, feedback, bug identification, content, code, copyrighted materials or materials protected by other intellectual property laws) will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary com-munications.

Now, I'm no expert, but these two examples don't sound quite compliant with the GNU FDL. It is possible I misunderstood and I'm also willing to accept that it is a new site and concept, and will take time to hammer out such details.
So anyway, I'm optimistic about openSUSE and its associated site. I'm looking forward to the new level of participation offered to the community.
I saw on Planet SuSE that Marc pointed out that Google News released RSS feeds as Yahoo had done a while ago. So I added a page for SUSE Google News. While I was at it, I added a page for Recent Changes at openSUSE.
The fantastic Fluxbox developers released a new version Friday: 0.9.13. Most of the upgrades mentioned in the changelog were transparent to me, but I'm pretty sure I notice the speed enhancements they mentioned (I wouldn't have believed it possible). Installation went off without a hitch, and the instructions I wrote for installing the last version still work.
I added some instructions on installing SETI@home on Linux. There is a SUSE SETI Team if you're interested.
On his internet marketing blog, John Bradbury used SEOpen as an excuse to play with some video capture software and created a little demo. Very cool, very flattering.
Oddly enough http://planetsuse.org != http://www.planetsuse.org.
I'll leave you with a cool site I don't think I'd seen before, Linux Reviews. They've got news (it's how I found out about the new Fluxbox release), reviews, tutorials, and other information for both newbies and experienced users; enjoy.
I came across a SuSE Forums thread where cyberdog was having a similar problem. What we had in common was our ECS motherboards; his is a 732g, mine a g732e both with a SiS chipset. Neither of us found a solution until he called SUSE's tech support. He was told to type insmod=ide-generic at the installation prompt.
This worked for us both, so thanks to cyberdog for being man enough to call tech support.
Beagle shows promise. It was "fun" getting it to work and even now it is a crap-shoot to see if it will work when I reboot. The configuration to get it to work was different on the two 9.3 boxes I tried to install it on which seemed odd to me. Remember if you try it, it's in Alpha, so be ready for some level of adventure. I think it's cool enough to make it worth the effort.
Along with Beagle, I was looking forward to The Gimp 2.2 and OpenOffice.org 2.0. I haven't played with either too much yet. I still use Fluxbox, so GNOME 2.10 and KDE 3.4 weren't huge for me, but a lot of people are really liking them.
Samba has been a pain at work because I have not been able to share the network's printer (though I can share files); and it's been a pain at home because I can see the shared folders on the Windows machine, but viewing and sharing files inside the folders won't work yet. You can see the hub absolutely freak out when I try to browse the Windows shares. In both cases, I place at least some of the blame on the Windows machines, but since I had both locations working great before the upgrade to 9.3, I can't totally blame them. I can't wait until the day that I no longer have to use DirecWay (and therefore share the internet connection through Windows). Sure, DirecWay is willing to upgrade the crappy hardware they sold me two years ago with their new crappy hardware that might let me use Linux on that machine for a couple hundred bones, but I don't trust them.
Getting multimedia stuff up to par was a small chore in 9.3 like it was in 9.1 (and in 9.2 from what I understand).
So far I haven't found anything in 9.3 that I missed in 9.1. I really didn't need to upgrade. If you're using 9.1 or 9.2 and really need something in 9.3 then go for it, otherwise, from what I've seen so far, you aren't missing too much.
That said, SUSE 9.3 is a clean, fast, and extremely polished operating system. If you've never used Linux or SUSE before, or it's been a while since you had a look at it, I certainly encourage you to give it a try. With 9.3 SUSE has shown why it is considered one of the leading GNU/Linux distributions; it just might lack any additional features that make upgrading from 9.1 or 9.2 worthwhile.
Once again, you can buy SUSE 9.3 from Amazon or download the free Live DVD here.
Moving on: I added the FAQs, Help, and Tutorials section to the SuSE DMOZ category. I also created a Reviews category. Again, if you see a site/page that belongs there, please submit it.
My webhost, whom I am usually fairly happy with, recently decided to go on a security kick and disable fopen and some other functions I use. This broke many of my sites (many of which are still broken), but I fixed SUSEroot. This got me on an RSS kick and I added a few things to the site. Some of this stuff I added "because I could", other things might actually be useful; I'll let you decide which is which.
Got a mass-email from Novell today about the new Novell Linux Users International site. I'm sure there will be some marketing involved, but it looks like it has some good stuff to offer, too. ...I wonder if they have an RSS feed...
And instead of a juvenile forum picture for today's post, I have something a little more animated. Unless you are a kindergarten teacher it is pretty safe for work, just watch the speakers (flash): Posting and You. Props to Bruce for posting this.
A lot of the inspiration for these updates came from a SuSE Forum thread about system monitoring GUIs. ac_dispatcher, offered a cool Torsmo screenshot in the thread mentioned. Also shown are some nice GKrellM shots and SuperKaramba themes.
I went on a day trip to Mexico with my Dad on Thursday; an afternoon of cheap beer and expensive cigars. I had a good time, it made me miss living in Europe.
And finally, in keeping with the "humerous forum pictures thing" I started the other day, here's today's:
Planet KDE has a lot of good information about Krita. Along with Beagle, Krita is another toy I am looking forward to playing with. Of course I like the GIMP, but there are some things I don't like and selection is always nice. There's still no release available, but you can get the source from CVS.
In today's episode of "As the GNOME Turns", Vic Volkerding has finally announced that he will no longer be distributing GNOME with Slackware. This has been in the works for a while, I remember reading about it when I was dabbling with Slackware. What little I know of Slack has always given me the impression that it is a "purists" distro. It makes sense to me that if the GNOME implementation can be maintained elsewhere and free up his time, then so be it.
I hate writing about Microsoft, but MS and the EU has agreed on a name for the version of XP with Media Player removed: "Windows XP Home Edition N" -- with "N" standing for "not with media player"...I guess the "Q" stands for "Quality"...
I remember seeing these a while ago, but hadn't read them until last night: A Manager's Guide to Supervising a Hacker and A Hacker's Guide to Surviving in a Corporate Environment. Both are well written and offer a lot of practical advice for both sides.
I don't really know why this happens, at one point a few weeks ago I was able to make it not so bad, but now I can't figure it out. I'll admit that it likely has a a lot to do with the fact that I use tables to format this site instead of the "cooler" css. I'm just not really comfortable with using css for site layout.
The lower image on the right shows what the site looks like in every other browser I've used to view the site including Windows and Linux versions of Opera and Firefox and Konq, and a few other Linux browsers. The home page is valid 4.01 Transitional HTML (I haven't bothered to check the other pages). Not that I care too much about HTML standards, though I am sympathetic to accessibility issues and software standards in general. If IE is your default browser, do yourself a favor and try Firefox or Opera.
Also, if you are reading this on my site with a lower resolution, you probably noticed that you have to horizontally scroll to see the entire width. This only seems to happen noticibly in the blog section. I'm working on this issue now.
I just wanted you to know that I know the site has some issues still. Thanks to James at Planet SuSE for pointing some of these issues out to me!
You can read more about it here.

I received my first month's fabrics from Pink Chalk Studio's Monthly Solids Club today! (I wrote a little bit about it here). Seven of the eight solids are from the Kona Cotton line, but one of them is from the Bella Solids. This was my first encounter with Moda's solids line and I'm loving the texture. I wish they were more readily available at chain fabric stores and my LQS like the Konas, because I would probably switch based on texture alone! As soon as I start a new project, I'll let you know how they sew in comparison with the Kona Cottons.
