If You Fail to Plan ……
The SWAmP was the last item in my queue and I felt lost not knowing what I was going to do next. I felt obliged to finish the wardrobe because I didn't have another project lined up. This problem was easily fixed. I had fabrics on hand and an occasion to sew for (PR Weekend) but, I hadn't assigned the fabrics to any patterns yet. So I spent a relaxing evening going through my pattern index and assigning patterns to fabrics. I added four projects to my queue; enough to keep me busy for weeks. Once I had goals and a direction, I was able to enjoy myself again.
In addition to formulating a plan, I took the advice of some commenters from my previous post. Charley gave me good advice. She said, "What if you sew it by outfit? Do one top/bottom/jacket then move to a different project and come back to the SWAP pieces and pick a skirt/top, etc." So, that is what I did. I already sewed the two blouses. I'd only have to finish the pants or skirt and I'd have a completed outfit. Best of all, I wouldn't feel like a failure. Once I decided on the pants, my mojo was freed and I got back on track. Then Carolyn, in her much appreciated, no-nonsense way, said, "Sometimes it's okay to put the fabric back in the bin and wait for the next season. If you need permission, then I'm giving you permission. Move on and sew spring because your hobby should make you happy not tense and uptight! :)". I happily put away the rest of the SWAP fabric and I'm ready begin the next projects in my newly revised queue!
6 comments:
Carolyn is right. Elaray, I still like SWAPs, but don't feel they fit into my life either. A SWAP is a good method of building a wardrobe. Mine is built. I did sew a SWAP 4 years ago after a major life change (retirement). Also did majore closet cleaning and major attitude change. I quit looking at my closet on a per outfit basis and look at the WARDROBE. It's the tree and forest thing on a small scale. But it's import. The forest (my closet), is well organized, thoughtfully planted and maturing nicely. These days I need to replace pieces that are worn out, stained or didn't work as expected. I'm back to sewing more on a per outfit basis, but I can easily see how it fits into the entire wardrobe. I hope this made sense. Because I want to show that, it's fine for you to step back to a per piece sewing mind-frame. It's ok. Really. And you can always sew the remaining pieces this fall or winter.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree too. The only SWAP I ever did was back just before I started teaching and needed the core of a work wardrobe. Then I proceeded to add (and add and subtract, etc.) to it. I'm too tired to do all that planning and would feel stressed and locked in and like a failure when I couldn't deliver. I'm on Spring Break right now and am enjoying knocking off a few things without the time pressure I usually have. Good for you! Jane is right, sewing should make you (us) happy.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone like doing a swap? The few sewing blogs I frequent, whine about the constraint of it once they are in the middle of one. I must admit I look admiringly at a 10 piece swap ensemble and think it would be great, however; getting all that coordinating fabric is/seems impossible in my location with the scarcity of any decent fabric stores. Elray, sew what you want when you want and don't beat yourself up, enjoy it.

An Icelandic version of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," Fridrik Thor Fridriksson's "Angels of the Universe" is a moving and captivating story of a man's gradual descent into madness and destruction. Fridriksson directs with an exemplary mix of reality and dreams, and, despite the tragic nature of the story , pic should do very well on the festival circuit with some arthouse exposure also indicated internationally.
Scriptwriter Einar Mar Gudmundsson has adapted his own book, the true story of his brother. Paul (Ingvar E. Sigurdsson) is a young man who lives with his parents in Reykjavik, dreams of becoming a painter and is also interested in music. He's courting a girl from the upper classes and meets stiff resistance from her parents. Paul complains about increasing pains "in the heart." He starts to behave erratically, and in the end his parents have no alternative but to commit him to the local psychiatric hospital. There he encounters a bunch of very colorful individuals. Oli Beatle (Baltasar Kormakur) believes he wrote all the songs by the Fab Four and sent them to the group in the form of telepathic messages. Viktor (Bjorn Jorundur Fridbjornsson) is both educated and well brought-up but sometimes thinks he's Adolf Hitler. And Peter (Hilmir Snaer Gudnason), who shares the same room as Paul, has gone crazy from too many drugs. He longs for kids but has a restraining order from his ex-wife. Paul makes friends — and enemies — within the hospital, where it is more a question of keeping the patients locked up than really trying to cure them. However, sometimes the patients are allowed to leave the compound, and one evening Paul, Oli Beatle and Viktor walk to the nearby town by themselves. After ordering a deluxe meal at the fanciest restaurant, they light some cigars, call for the head waiter and quietly tell him to call the police as they have no money. It's a very funny scene, and typical of the film's overall tone, which is basically tragic but mixes in a sardonic black humor that helps to make the film accessible. As in many of his previous pics, Fridriksson also introduces supernatural elements without any warning: In one sequence where Paul is pursued by the police, he runs into a river and starts walking on water. The police have to wade in to get him, but no further mention is made of his feat. Aided by ace d.p. Harald Paalgaard and excellent use of sound, Fridriksson has made a beautiful film with several images that stick to the ribs. And like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," it clearly states, though without using a sledgehammer, that this is no way to treat sick people.Angels of the Universe

The race for the Governor's Cup
Just offshore in the waters near the Newport Pier, 12 skippers and their crews will do battle in July for one of the most prestigious youth match racing trophies in sailing: the 50th annual Governor's Cup.
Founded in 1967 with a trophy donated by then-Gov. Ronald Reagan, and hosted by the Balboa Yacht Club, the Governor's Cup is one of the most hotly contested races thanks to its long history of jump-starting sailing careers. Past competitors have gone on to win the America's Cup, Round the World, Olympic gold and more, so competition is a bit fiercer than your typical beer-can regatta.
The alumni of the Governor's Cup are virtually a who's who of competitive sailing, says Andy Rose, a two-time winner and chair of this year's steering committee. He won the 1969 and '70 Governor's Cup, the race propelling him on to win the Congressional Cup and serving as the tactician for Australia in the 1977 America's Cup. Rose has since been one of the Governor's Cup's biggest advocates, heading up the recent fund raising campaign to build 12 boats – worth more than $500,000 – that will be christened for this year's race.
Sailing is more than just trophies and glory, however, says Rose, a Newport Beach native. His father died when he was 10, and his mother worried he needed something to do during the summer.
"She saw an advertisement for a sailing program at the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club, which was leasing a room at the Balboa Bay Club," he says. The program was open to the public, so his mother enrolled him. "It was one of the better things she ever did for me."
He went on to teach in the program, then run the youth sailing at the Balboa Yacht Club. After an undergraduate degree from Stanford and a law degree from UC Davis, he returned to Newport and became a Balboa Yacht Club member and staunch supporter of youth sailing.
It's that belief that drove him to head up the campaign for new boats, so that every sailor in the regatta will be sailing identical equipment. "The Governor's Cup has become recognized all over the world as one of the premier youth events, and in order to maintain that you have to have equal boats so it's the sailors who decide who wins, not the boat," he says.
Of course, a good strategy might be to come close, but not grab the trophy, Rose says with a chuckle. "We joke about it, but there's sort of a curse to the Governor's Cup. Those of us who won the cup tend not to have won the America's Cup. Those who don't win the cup tend to win the America's Cup," he says.
• • •
Watch the Cup
The Governor's Cup regatta takes place July 18-23 just outside the harbor. If you have a boat, you can view from the spectators boat area. If not, a good place to watch the action is from the Newport Pier.

It's the reason his buildings housed captains of American industry, and why his designs found their way aboard the original Enterprise.

But that wasn't Star Trek's first dance with Saarinen's designs. His iconic Tulip Chair became the basis for the seating seen in the original series, and his sweeping, modernist style is clearly an inspiration for that contoured, ultra-clean future.At once elegantly organic and evoking a sense of progress, Saarinen's work attracted not just the Star Trek team, but other entities looking to harness that sense of looking forward. General Motors, IBM, John Deere, and CBS all contracted Saarinen to design their corporate headquarters, and his designs became a symbol of an America that firmly believed it was marching toward the future.

Move over Bushrod, Here Comes Charlie Brown!!!!
Jahari Evans got broke off, Now gotta do a little bit of the same with Nicks. We all know Evans is better, runs go more to his side but we can't afford to lose Nicks either. Which almost certainly means that bye - bye Bushrod. Too many false-ies!!! Gets beat way to much. Time for the draft pick to get a shot at camp next season. Please, nobody let him kick the damn ball.
Gotta say i agree with ya.
I was hoping to see Bushrod play better being that's its his 2 year as a starter, but he still can't handle the bull rush and gets flat out pushed into drew nearly every play. Let's see what brown can do, hopefully he can be how jamaal brown was in terms of pass protection, he hardly ever got beat |
I'd like to see more of Charlie Brown.
if charlie was so good he would have made an appearance this year. why do people always think the back up is better?!?!?!
You spend a 2nd rd pick on him. I want to see what CB has.
Not saying he's better than Bushrod but I'd like to see if CB has what it takes to start, most 2nd rounders see action their first year in the league

Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://www.inderscience.com/index.php
In this paper we introduce a new integral equation for computing the numerical solution of the Riemann problem in a simply connected region bounded by curves having a finite number of corners in the complex plane. The solution to this problem may be characterised as the solution to a singular integral equation on the boundary. By using results of Hille and Muskhelishvili, the theory is extended to include boundaries with corners which are rarely used for numerical computation. Following Swarztrauber's derivation of an integral equation for the numerical solution of Dirichlet problem in a region of general shape, we use the Picard iteration method to obtain an iterative formula which removes singularities during numerical integration. The result is a direct method which does not involve conformal mapping. The numerical examples given demonstrate the effectiveness of this new strategy

Miriodor - Cobra Fakir (2013)
Rock | 1cd | EAC Rip | Wv + Cue + Log | covers
Cuneiform Rune 368 | rel: 2003 | 420Mb
Montreal avant-proggers Miriodor begin the leadoff track of Cobra Fakir, their 2013 Cuneiform album, with arpeggiated acoustic guitar from Bernard Falaise; it's a somewhat surprising turn from the electric guitar master, and "La Roue" is not the only track where he unplugs. Falaise participated in Conventum 2012 -- an André Duchesne-led trio that revisited music from the late-'70s landmark folk-prog outfit -- and it might seem that the younger guitarist brought some Duchesne/Conventum sensibility to Miriodor this time around.
Yet although Falaise unplugs here and elsewhere on Cobra Fakir, he never does so for long. After all, this is Miriodor, who use every electronically produced sound in the known and unknown universe in their palette of instrumental voicings, as ably demonstrated throughout Cobra Fakir. However, the precision and crispness of Miriodor's writing and arrangements never make the album seem overloaded or merely clever. Everything has a melodic, thematic, or rhythmic purpose, or at the very least sets a mood, from unsettling and mysterious to circusy and cartoonish (sometimes simultaneously). Absolutely nothing is extraneous. That's the case as the acoustic guitar leads listeners into "La Roue" and the band is soon locked into a circular polyrhythmic groove with deep layers of contrapuntal melodic riffs and snippets from Falaise's guitars and bass, Pascal Globensky's keyboards, and who knows what else, with drummer Rémi Leclerc delivering his own imaginative percussive clank-and-smash accents. The end result is, as the album title suggests, hypnotic.
Deep and detailed arrangements and intermittently steady grooves produce a similar effect elsewhere; the bright and playful "RVB7" sometimes even flirts with danceability in addition to tranceability (no criticism intended). Another tune presenting Miriodor at their most engagingly accessible -- and unadorned -- is "Maringouin," with strummy acoustic and biting electric guitars, Rhodes- and Hammond-ish keyboards, and straightforward drumming preceding the tune's quirkier middle section. Miriodor's previous outing, 2009's Avanti!, found the band stretching out on long tracks in the nine- and ten-minute range, and several Cobra Fakir tracks approach similar lengths, with quintessentially Miriodor-ish results. The nine-minute title track is a multi-sectioned mini-opus, densely constructed with tight changeups, complex scoring, and a sudden bit of eeriness, closing understatedly with piano and accordion sounds and more acoustic guitar. Falaise's acoustic also surfaces in "Tandem," another Avanti!-flavored track with peculiar yet perfect sonic juxtapositions -- a berserk electric guitar moment, a bit of banjo, subtle and spacy keyboard arpeggios -- that never interrupt the tune's thematic continuity. And Miriodor remain supremely inventive on the shorter tracks, which could be instrumental rock singles on another planet: the clockwork pulse and stormy sounds of "Paris-Roubaix"; the buzzing, clicking, deep growl and squelchy fadeout of "Un Cas Sibérien"; the dark drones and earth-shaking synth bursts of the brief Univers Zero-ish closer, "Expérience 7." Credit studio knob twiddlers Falaise and Bernard Grenon for Cobra Fakir's immersiveness, but credit Miriodor -- once again a trio and now recording without guests -- for the ability to do it all. ~Allmusic

I ate here once when I was passing through Santa Fe. The food my companion and I chose was packed with flavor and the service was incredibly friendly. For dessert we had a raw carrot cake, which was surprisingly wonderful (not a big raw-food fan here).
It seemed really overpriced, but then again so did everything else in Santa Fe.

Some pebbles are lodged only in your business shoes. Some reside in your house slippers that you tuck under your bed. Some pebbles find their way into your golf shoes, while others form in the shoes worn while you parent. Unfortunately, some pebbles travel in all your shoes regardless of where you walk or run.
In The Pebble in the Shoe, the World's #1 Coach of Champions gives you five simple, champion-tested tools for removing any sized pebble in your shoe. After reading this book, you'll be able to approach any condition, circumstance, or situation with confidence.

From my viewpoint, Brad loves Emily and Emily loves Emily!!
How is that going to work?
I do feel Brad was hoodwinked, she is a b*ll breaker!!!
That is my opinion!
She just seems like a very young and immature girl. She signed up for the bachelor, but he should have only kissed her. She was all I am a MOM, but why didn't she get to swim with sharks? Wow she is really pouty and whinny. It seems like her dating development stopped with Ricky and she hasn't matured past the 18 year old left alone. Makes me wonder if she wasn't as secure with Ricky as she made it seem, so she is less secure with Brad?
No joke!
Wow! I believed the hype, so I wasn't shocked by what was going down. Still, I was stunned by what came out of Emily's mouth.
But I bet there are guys out there in tv-audience land who have dated Emily in the past, that weren't very surprised at all.
I wonder what Chantal thinks?
Excellent summation.
Basically this was entertaining in the trainwreck kind of way.
I'm assuming all 3 couples went home, snuggled in with each other and pretended that never happened.
Harrison probably went home and continued his midlife crisis with the hair and all.
Brad continued to worship at the altar of Saint Emily.
Emily is a total witch and it was hilarious to watch.
Big: You know, Manhattan has a lot of beautiful women.
Carrie: What an amazing observation!
Big: But the thing is, after awhile, you just wanna be with the one who makes you laugh.
~ Sex and the City
did we forgot the BABE mention? do not cry babe?
I am not sure if I feel sorry for him that he picked the wrong girl because it sure emily is NOT the sweet little emily but looks more like a dragon who knows perfectly now that brad has not only a temper but also is not daddy material yet!!!!!
I loved loved chantal... when she wanted to get rid of his hand on her back!!!!!!!!
SHe sure does not have feeling but I think she saw him the jerk he really was all along.... HEY BRAD!!! if you feel in love early on you do NOT kiss another girl like you want to jump her bones!!!!!!!
did we mention that emily will be pissed to watch the episode
What happened to her making him want to be a better man? He can't even control his temper (and I thought the scene on the last date was a good example of that ... he gets to question all the women ad nauseum to make sure he picks the right one, but Emily questions him about whether he's really ready to be a dad and he loses it? He should understand how important that is to her, but he showed no sensitivity to that and instead took it some sort of personal attack, like how dare she question him)!
If Ricki is as important to him as he says, he should realize he can't be showing her mother that he is unable to control his temper! Emily said they have to work out how they communicate and how they fight, so I think this is a huge issue with them, and it should not be worked out around a child, so good for her that she's not ready to move to Austin. Personally, I think it is not going to be worked out. Maybe with couples counseling, but not just the two of them. Neither of them has the relationship skills to do it on their own.
people wanted to see some personality from emily, she shows yall. and now its to much. shes in a lose lose. thats why shes struggling
So, I guess I missed that love story altogether. Brad chose the ice princess. I can't believe I'm saying this but, I actually feel more sorry for Brad than I did for Chantal. How is that possible???????

According to Rolling Stone, Iggy Pop will reunite with the Asheton brothers, Ron and Scott, in April for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California 30 years or so after the Stooges split. Mike Watts, formerly of the Minutemen will take the place of original bassist, David Alexander, who died in 1975. This now means that every band that ever broke up and has more than one living member has reformed in the last few years.
Although they made two of the greatest records of all time in The Stooges and Funhouse — and at the peak made the most glorious and timeless rock noise ever, an irresistible slab of overwhelming visceral bliss that celebrated everything about being young and alive and open to the mindless pleasures life had to offer — I can't really see this as being much more than a cash-in on punk nostalgia. (Although they might as well get some of the money rather than their countless copyists.)
For me the reason for dragging out those old Stooges albums is to hear the unique moment they captured: a moment in their time, America's time and rock's time… the fierce affirming howl of snotty urban youth at the end of the sixties, the defiant rejection of everything else that was going on, a tremendous and joyous re-invention of rock and what it could do. When Iggy sings:
Last year I was 21
Didn't have a lot of fun
Well 'oh my' and 'boo hoo'
("1969" from the first album) you feel the gleeful sense of recklessness that grows from boredom and youthful frustration captured like no other song before or since. But they'll all be in their late 50s now….
Whatever creative outpouring they still have — and this goes for all these old rockers getting back together to churn out their old stuff — should be directed towards music that expresses what it is to be that age in America now. What was it Lou Reed sang? "You're still doing things I gave up doing years ago?" And he sang that a long, long time ago.
I'd love to hear Iggy follow up the fearless pursuit of heavy rock crossed with free jazz that was achieved on the second side of Funhouse and has been matched nowhere since, but I can't imagine that being done on the novelty reunion circuit….

With the final preseason game in the books for the Capitals, the team's opening night line-up is shaping up: Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, and Eric Fehr will be on the top line. Marcus Johansson, Andre Burakovsky, and Troy Brouwer will man the second. Jason Chimera, Brooks Laich, and Joel Ward will be on the third. The fourth line looks set, though scrappy free-agree invitee Liam O'Brien looks to have earned his way into a contract with Hershey or a two-way deal. Michael Latta, though, appears ready to play alongside Evgeny Kuznetsov and Chris Brown on the fourth line. That might change when Jay Beagle comes back from injury.
"That would be a question for Mac[Lellan]," Trotz said of O'Brien. "He's been as good as anybody especially in that role."
"He's a player that demanded to be noticed," the coach added.
19-year-old rookie Andre Burakovsky appears to have also made the team, beating top prospect Kuznetsov to center the team's second line. At least initially.

Team Sweden survived a challenge from Latvia on Saturday, winning 5-3 to finish the preliminary round undefeated. But it wasn't easy.
In the second period, Sweden actually trailed 2-1 until Nicklas Backstrom and Erik Karlsson connected on another power play goal.
You might want to turn the sound on. (Vine via @SeanGentille)
The imagery above has been making the rounds on Reddit and Twitter this morning. It's so glorious that I figured I'd share it with you.
On Tuesday night, as Mikhail Grabovski got the claws out with Zach Smith and an angry Cory Conacher tried to literally separate Eric Fehr's head from his torso, Erik Karlsson and a late-arriving Mike Green embraced each other at center ice like long-lost bros. Instead of getting involved in the fracas, the two offensive defenseman caught up and enjoyed their front row seats to some hockey carnage. Wouldn't you?
We are less than a week away from that furry thing being shaved off. (Photo credit: Patrick McDermott)
In the first period, Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin was his normal, rambunctious self against the Ottawa Senators. Like here's a perfect example. Six minutes into the first frame, Ovi looked to deliver the boom to defenseman Erik Karlsson in front of the Sens' net. Every Caps fan in attendance and every Caps fan watching at home could see this massive collision developing.
Unfortunately for Ovi, Karlsson is no mere mortal. An unbelievable skater, Karlsson won the Norris trophy in 2012 as the league's best defenseman and is very mobile on the ice.
On April 23rd, reigning Norris trophy winner/Matt Cooke assault victim Erik Karlsson joined Twitter. In just 34 days, the Swedish defenseman has revolutionized the Internet with one hashtag: #lalala. In 59 tweets, Karlsson has used the hashtag 11 times. That's a league-leading 19% hashtag rate.
Check out the Hendyface! (Photo credit: Patrick McDermott)
I was expecting some kind of letdown after the Washington Capitals ensured themselves a playoff spot on Tuesday, but dude. Thursday's game against the Ottawa Senators wasn't bad by any stretch, but it didn't carry the same gravitas now that the Caps are locked in third place. Erik Karlsson's unlikely return to service was heartening for pure hockey fans, but it's way too late in the season for us to muster up that kind of neighborliness. Besides, it's totally possible this is the team the Caps will have to face in the playoffs, so we should probably get the enmity brewing now.
Karlsson got one, then Ovi got one. Then overtime, where ex-Cap Sergei Gonchar won it all because Mike Ribeiro is a liability.
Sens beat Caps 2-1. Ottawa makes the playoffs.
Here's Doug Johnson of Puck Buddys with your pregame report. Follow @PuckBuddys.
The Pregame: Well, hello you! Pollyanna Sunshine, reporting for duty! And here's my colleague, Peppy Miller! Rah Team!
OK, glum-dums. Tides have a way of turning. Or so Barbara Streisand tells me. Sure, watching the Capitals this season has been exactly like watching the tides rush in and out, depositing a fresh crop of flotsam and hope on the shore at high tide before sucking it all back out to sea, leaving behind dead jellyfish and despair. But…
Screengrab via @CarrottBazooka
Since Alex Ovechkin has opted out of the All-Star Weekend (and has better things to do anyway), Dennis Wideman is now Washington's lone representative in Ottawa. While Wideman is perhaps slightly less likely to don a hat and sunglasses and do trick shots, he's a Capital, so we love him all the same. We'll be covering Wideman's foray into the glamorous life of an All-Star, so check back for updates, because let's face it, you're already bored without hockey.
Dennis Wideman was picked in the 15th round with the second-to-last pick that could be used on a defenseman, before only Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler. This means that we can get hipster now if we want and call him underrated. We knew Dennis Wideman when he wasn't cool. Logan Couture was picked last overall and won a brand new caaaaarrrrr! Somehow it just wasn't the same without Ovechkin there laughing and taking pictures.

Alex Ovechkin's had a tough year. He's failed to find consistency in his game. He's been benched, seen the coach that benched him get fired, and trails Jason Chimera in goals. He's been criticized by almost every big-time NHL columnist in the country. Even future Hall of Famer Teemu Selanne has been asked what's wrong with Ovechkin.
Tonight, however, we saw the first real flash of the old Ovi. You know– that creative, "you will not effing stop me from scoring even if you set up a brick wall in front of the goal and tie both hands behind my back" Ovechkin. In the third period against the Senators, with the game tied 2-2, the Caps started a breakout from behind their own net. And then Ovi decided he felt like scoring.
Let's review.

A state judge yesterday rejected a rival candidate's bid to remove Charles J. Hynes, left, the Brooklyn district attorney, from the primary ballot. The judge, Melvin S. Barasch, ruled that an election rule requiring candidates to live in the borough in which they serve had not been violated. Justice Barasch turned down the bid by Mr. Hynes's challenger in the election, Sandra E. Roper, to remove Mr. Hynes because he owns a summer home in Breezy Point, Queens.

Man who lost wife to cancer fights Veterans Affairs for Agent Orange payment
HALIFAX - Relatives of a woman who died of a cancer linked to Agent Orange exposure in the 1960s say Ottawa is denying them compensation because she was diagnosed with the lethal disease 12 days after a federal deadline.
Keith Haynes lost his wife, Audrey, on Jan. 31, just a month after the Department of Veterans Affairs issued its final ruling that she would not be eligible for the $20,000 ex gratia payment.
The 54-year-old customer service worker was diagnosed with stage 4 non small cell lung cancer on July 12 after she collapsed at work and was rushed to hospital in Halifax.
Keith Haynes says her cancer was listed on a U.S. medical chart of illnesses the Canadian government recognizes as being linked to the spraying of Agent Orange at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in the 1960s.
But when she applied for the ex gratia payment before her death, Veterans Affairs indicated she didn't qualify because she was diagnosed 12 days after the federally imposed deadline of June 30, 2011, and didn't get her application in until weeks later.
"My wife passed away and, as far as I'm concerned, she was betrayed by her federal government," her husband said from their home on the outskirts of Halifax.
"Who gave them the right and authority and the nerve to put a deadline on the compensation package for people who've been exposed to this chemical?"
Haynes, 54, and his 16-year-old daughter Jessie are fighting to have Veterans Affairs overturn its decision, arguing that there should be no time frame for illnesses associated with the spray program in New Brunswick in 1967 and 1966.
He says his wife's father and a sister both died of the same type of cancer, and another sister has leukemia. Two received the $20,000 payments, while the other died two weeks after her cancer diagnosis.
Audrey Haynes appealed to the department but was told repeatedly that she missed the deadline for the program, which was meant to compensate soldiers and their families who were exposed to the defoliant and later became ill.
In the final correspondence, Veterans Affairs says exemptions can be considered only when circumstances "beyond the control of the applicant" prevent them from submitting an application before June 30.
That apparently did not include her late diagnosis and the six-week stretch of radiation and then chemotherapy she was undergoing to treat cancer that had spread to her brain and liver.
"While I sympathize with your situation, unfortunately we have to follow the criteria," reads the letter from Appeals Unit.
"In light of this criteria, I am unable to accept your application."
A spokeswoman with the department said Friday she couldn't comment on the particular case, adding that each ex gratia payment was decided on a case-by-case basis.
"We went beyond our initial commitment by providing additional funds to the program to ensure all those who are eligible for the ex gratia payment receive it," Janice Summerby said in an email.
She said more than 5,000 applications have been approved and payments totalling more than $100 million have been issued. About $6.6 million of the program funding was not spent by the cutoff date of Dec. 30.
NDP Veterans Affairs critic Peter Stoffer says the department is showing little compassion and making elderly or ill veterans and their families fight for payments he believes they're entitled to.
"I mean, where's the humanity here? Where's the heart in this place?" he said in an interview.
"When I listen to these folks, you just hear the desperation in their voices and all they're asking for is help and this government turns around and says, 'Oh, these are the deadlines. That's it.'"
Stoffer, who has a news conference with Haynes scheduled Monday, said the entire compensation program has been handled poorly since it was first floated by the Conservatives in the 2006 election campaign.
Ottawa reversed its decision to reject compensation for dozens of people at the end of December after the Veterans ombudsman publicly rebuked the government for its handling of the file.
Agent Orange was part of a toxic cocktail of herbicides sprayed at CFB Gagetown in 1966 and 1967 by the U.S. military, with permission from Canada.
It's now known that exposure can lead to skin disorders, liver problems and certain types of cancers.

To help take the "Scare" out of Halloween, use this preteen lesson to help kids trust Jesus when they're afraid. Find more great Sunday school lessons to help kids grow in their faith.
1. Pumpkin Matchup — Remove the seeds and pulp from two pumpkins. Carve the pumpkins, reserving large pieces from your carving. Place all the pumpkin pieces on one tray in the center of the room. Place the carved pumpkins at opposite ends of the room. Then form two teams and have teams each stand by a carved pumpkin.
Say: Race to match your team's pumpkin pieces to your pumpkin. If the piece you pick doesn't match up, return it to the pumpkin pile. Work together to get your pumpkin back together.
After the game, say: It's not always easy to find the right match for things. As Christians, our goal is to do things that match up with God's Word. But we have an enemy who doesn't want us to follow God's Word.
2. Fight for the Light — Say: Today we're going to learn how to protect ourselves from our enemy-the devil. Let's play a game where we need to protect something.
Form two lines with a 1-foot aisle between the lines. Have kids in each line face the aisle. Have one child walk down the aisle holding a cotton ball in his or her open palm. Have kids in line try to blow the cotton ball out of the child's hand. The cotton-ball carrier must protect the cotton ball without closing his or her hand. Once the player makes it through the line or the cotton ball is blown away, pass the cotton ball to the next person in line, alternating between lines. Players go to the end of the line after their turn.
After everyone has had a turn, ask: How did you feel walking between the lines while others tried to blow away your cotton ball? How did you feel when your cotton ball was blown away? when it wasn't?
Say: The Bible says Jesus is the light, but the devil tries to blow out the light. How does the devil try to blow out Jesus' light? When have you felt like the devil tried to blow out your "Jesus light"? How can you protect yourself from getting your Jesus light blown out? Say: The Bible says we can protect ourselves from the devil.

Have children read aloud Ephesians 6:10-20.
3. Godly Costumes — Say: During Halloween, many people like to wear scary costumes. Let's be ready when evil comes our way by putting on a godly costume. Form pairs. Have each partner lie down on a sheet of butcher paper while the other partner draws an outline of their body. Have children use a variety of art supplies to create godly costumes based on the Scripture. After kids are finished, ask: What are some things you can do this week to put on God's armor to protect you from evil?
4. Prayer Light — Gather kids in a circle. Go around the circle with each person praying "Dear God, help me remember to put on my godly costume every day. Amen."
Allergy Alert: Some children have food allergies that can be dangerous. Know your children, and consult with parents about allergies their children may have.
5. Snack — Food For Thought-You'll need: Apple slices, peanut butter, mini marshmallows, and blunt knives Directions: Have children spread peanut butter on their apple slices. Then have them stick four mini marshmallows to the peanut butter to make "smiles." Say: We feel happy when God protects us and keeps us safe. When we feel happy, we smile. Turn and give each other a big smile. Then enjoy eating your apple smile.

Daily Winners and Losers
The Japanese yen is the top performer against a stronger dollar for the second consecutive session as ongoing concerns about the deteriorating political standoff in Greece intensified with broader market sentiment trading heavy at the close of European trade. Risk aversion trades have continued to stoke demand for the reserve currency with the dollar advancing against all its major counterparts save the yen.
The USDJPY has continued to trade within the confines of a descending channel formation off the March highs with the exchange rate holding below the 50% Fibonacci retracement taken form the February advance at 79.90. The pair has now moved below 100-day moving average at 79.65 and while our medium-term bias on the pair remains weighted to the topside, we note favorable long entries between the 61.8% retracement at the 79-figure and the 79.65 mark with our initial objective eyed at the 23.6% extension just shy of the 82-figure. Longer-term targets are eyed above the 84-handle.
The scalp chart shows the USDJPY holding below the 61.8% Fibonacci extension taken form the April 1st and 20th crests at 79.90 with the pair rebounding just ahead of the 78.6% extension at 79.40. As we noted in yesterday's Winners/Losers report, the sustained risk-off environment risks further losses for the USDJPY with subsequent floors seen at 79.20, the 79-figure, and the 100% extension at 78.75. Interim topside resistance stands at 79.70 backed by the 61.8% extension at 79.90 and the 50% extension at 80.25. A breach above the confluence of this level and channel resistance dispels further downside pressure with such a scenario eyeing targets at the 38.25 extension at 80.60, 80.85, and the 23.6% extension at 81.05.

The Australian dollar is the weakest performer for a second consecutive session with the high yielder remaining under pressure as investors continue to flock into the perceived safety of the greenback and the yen. The AUDUSD broke below our weekly objective at the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement taken form the December advance at 1.0075 before rebounding off channel support in early US trade. It's likely we will hold this level throughout the session with rally's in the aussie offering favorable short entries ahead of key employment data on tap later tonight. Note that RSI remains poised for a downside break into oversold territory with such a scenario offering further conviction on our directional bias.
The scalp chart shows the pair trading within the confines of an embedded descending channel formation dating back to the April 27th highs with the aussie breaking below the 50% Fibonacci extension taken from the April 27th and May 7th crests at 1.0050 before rebounding off channel support at 1.0020. Interim topside resistance stands at 1.0070 backed by the 38.2% extension at 1.0088 and the channel resistance at 1.0115. A break above this mark alleviates some of the pressure with subsequent ceilings eyed at 1.0140 and 1.0170. We continue to favor selling into aussie rallies with a break below channel support eyeing targets at parity, 9980, the 78.6% extension at 9950 and 9920.

Reviews for Savory Vegetable Beef Stew
"We weren't impressed by this recipe. To be fair, our expectations were high due to the rave reviews, but I probably won't make this again.
One thing I did like was using Italian dressing to to brown the meat. It added a little zing and I liked the interesting flavor.Thanks for the recipe!""I was a little disappointed with this. I thought
my family would rave about it ,but just said it was good, no "gotta make again"comments""Fantastic recipe!! There aren't enough stars here to give this recipe the kudos it deserves. I made the stew with no changes, and my family LOVED it! I am actually throwing away my family recipe for stew, because it just cannot compete with this one. This stew is so rich and flavorful! Many thanks!!"
"I loved this recipe!!! It was hit at my last potluck. This was the first time I have ever made a stew. But I will be sure to make this one again. I did make some changes: I used 2 cups of beef broth instead of 2 cups water and beef granules. I also used a 300 gram bag of frozen veggies (for ease of prep)it had peas, carrots, corn and green beans instead of recipes carrots/green pepper. All the colors looked beautiful!! I served this potato dumplings -Yum- real comfort food!"
Wine Pairings
Light-Bodied Red Wine
Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied red wine such as Pinot Noir.

Sindh Rangers Counter Police AD of Missing Persons terming it a 'Conspiracy', Investigation Underway
KARACHI: Pakistan Rangers Sindh have started their investigating on Wednesday the publication of an advertisement by Police in local dailies about missing persons allegedly taken into custody 'by unknown Rangers personnel'.
The advertisement which sought assistance in tracing the detained persons was published by DSP Orangi Fakhrul Islam of the Sindh Police.
"It is a conspiracy against Rangers' performance and Karachi's peace," said a statement by the paramilitary force.
Terming the advertisement as 'allegation' against the agency, Sindh Rangers warned it had a right to take legal action.
In a bid to break the ice, Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah said "action will be taken against those who tried to create rifts between Rangers and police."
The chief minister said there was no clash between the two law enforcement agencies, adding it was an attempt to create differences among them.
Meanwhile, officials of the Sindh Information Department's (SID) directed not to publish advertisements of missing persons or LEAs unless there is an order from top officials.
Officials said the letter for publishing the advertisement in leading newspapers was written by DSP Islam along with a covering letter by SP Investigation West Latif Siddiqui, who is out of the country on an official assignment.
"We are not responsible for publishing these advertisements," said an official of the SID. "The issue is not from our end."

Praise for Apple's iPod Warranty Support
Because we're interested in sharing and hearing about users' experiences with different parts of the iPod ownership experience, this news update discusses our pleasant surprise with an iPod warranty experience we had within the last 24 hours. We'd like to hear about your experiences - positive or negative - primarily with iPod technical and warranty support, so please use the comments section at the tail end of this message to share your thoughts.
Ugh! Time to Call for Repairs!
If you hate dealing with warranty-related repairs and replacements, join the crowd. In the past two or three years, American consumers have watched almost helplessly as their warranties have become harder to enforce, with all sorts of sneaky new corporate techniques rearing their ugly heads. Outsourced offshore technical support and warranty repair departments have become more common, as have Byzantine "resolution" bureaucracies and other downright dishonest practices.
Apple's iPod support isn't perfect - in fact, even though an iPod's warranty lasts for a year, Apple mandates an unusual $29.95 "shipping and handling fee" for any iPod repair performed after the first six months, which we don't like. And we haven't always liked how certain "Geniuses" at Apple Store Genius Bars have handled iPod-related support issues, either - no offense to any particular Genius out there, as many of them (and most of the non-Genius staff of Apple Stores) are great.
That said, when we had to call Apple recently for replacement service, the AppleCare staff sure impressed us with three aspects of their warranty support. And because they did such a great job, we wanted to take the time to praise them here.
Our Three Good Experiences
First, given that we're living in an age when technical support requests to companies such as Dell frequently take hours to resolve or go unanswered (not to mention underanswered, improperly answered or dishonestly answered), we were impressed by the wait time for an Apple representative: only around two minutes. The company's AppleCare telephone menu system was easy to navigate and quickly delivered our call to a friendly, understandable human support assistant who had the authority to resolve our concern on the spot. This was especially impressive by contrast to the bureaucracy and delays that characterize so many other companies' warranty support departments.
Second, we were happy to learn that accessories included with the iPod are apparently not subject to Apple's $29.95 shipping fee. Apple offered to replace our accessory, which had a plastic problem we were not responsible for, without dispute, delay, or an extra charge. This too was a welcome change from the lengthy, pointless and generally dilatory procedures we've previously experienced.
Third, our replacement arrived in fewer than 24 hours from the time we called about it. While this used to be a common enough occurrence amongst major electronics companies several years ago, we were impressed to see it happen today.
It's worth noting that we never mentioned that we were reporters or otherwise requested special treatment - we were just "average joes" on the phone and yet felt very well-served by the end of the call. The net result of Apple's warranty service in this case was some very happy customers who felt even better about the somewhat higher purchase price of the iPod.
What Have Your Apple and iPod Technical/Warranty Support Experiences Been Like?
Our experiences may or may not be typical, so we'd like to hear about yours. Please take a minute to post your stories and thoughts in the comments box below.

I needed my ipod remote replaced. It has a shaky contact. So i went to the apple store i bought my ipod from (next byte), and two days later apple gave me a new remote. They didn't need an id or proof of purchase. Only my ipod serial number. Very quick

My PCI Firewire card fried my 2G iPod, but it was in warranty and Apple said it was no problem to return it for a refund. Their carrier picked it up from me, but after six months of promises I'd have the money "within 5 working days" I eventually had to take Apple to a small claims court.
Apple's technical support in Europe really sucks. Really. They told me I had to deal with their Windows-specific iPod support team, but they had never used Windows—and freely admitted it. The guy told me what to do with Finder, and I had to translate into Explorer (not difficult, but funny for a Windows specialist).
I was lucky if I was put through to someone who spoke English, too. One time, I was directed to a recorded message in French. Most of the time, the agents spoke in such badly broken English, it was impossible for them to be of any help.
They settled my claim out of court, I got a very friendly phonecall from the London office, and I swore myself off ever owning another iPod…
...until the 3G came out, and I got a better Firewire card.

My ipod needed a new battery and my 90 day warenty had ended the day before i called and apple would not replace the battery unless i bought the $60 care and protection plan!

"I needed my ipod remote replaced. It has a shaky contact."
EXACT SAME THING happened to me.
I called Apple, and I had a new remote on my doorstep in 19 HOURS. WOW.
^^^^ Has happened to me twice. I've gotten the same service both times.

i have more of a question—can you buy the extended warrenty on your iPod if you are still within your 1 year warrenty?
Posted by badkitty in Irvine, CA on March 12, 2004 at 8:51 AM (CST)
Had to send my first 3G 20gig back because HDD just died. It went there and back in just a little over a week. So overall a good experience. Only negatives were:
Apples website for getting support sucks
Apples website for tracking support sucks worse
There is no feedback about status of support
Still got a new one back and am happy once again.

I've never posted here before however I'm a constant reader of these forums. My apple support experience is unique from all of these others in that it did not deal with an Apple iPod but a Graphite iMac DV (450 Mhz G3 processor?). This computer was my mom's new iMac that I'd pushed on her telling her how much better Macs were than PCs. After she bought it she got it opened it up and set it up… it worked great for about a week until files started disappearing and the computer just decided to stop booting sometimes. We called Apple and asked what was wrong and they lead us through several steps including hard drive replacement, motherboard replacement, OS Reinstall, OS Fresh Install and nothing fixed the problem. Finally my mom got so tired of dealing with them she started screaming to the sales associates that she just wanted her money back. They wouldn't listen so we threatened to go to small claims court. My mom tried one more thing. She opened up Sherlock and typed in "Steve Jobs e-mail address" and out of the random results picked a few and e-mailed them. The NEXT day my mom got a call from Steve Job's executive secretary asking about the problem and promising a full replacement. About a week later we had a brand new Indigo iMac (550 Mhz w/ CD-R (vs. the DVD-ROM in the iMac DV)) < it took about 3 months to get here. I was quite happy to get this but it made my mom a bit weiry of Apple products. When OS X came out I immediately upgraded her using the free OS for Teachers program (she's a librarian for the public schools) and ever since the replacement of the iMac things have gone great. Its been about 5 years since the initial purchase and the only work since it was replaced that I've done to it has been the software updates and an upgrade to the RAM. My mom loves macs now and is thinking of buying my older brother in New York (I'm in Alabama) an Apple Powerbook for his birthday. Apple Support is always nice and always tries but sometimes you have to try going beyond them if things get bad (e-mailing the CEO/ threatening to take to small claims court). I

When I got the dreaded "folder with exclamation mark" logo on my iPod screen, that would not go away no matter what I tried, I logged onto the Apple service website and set up a repair job (my iPod was still under warrenty). In a couple of days I received a return box, and pre-paid shipping label. I sent my iPod back to apple and it was returned within a week.
Altogether it was a painless experience (apart from being separated from my iPod)
In contrast to Abahd's experience (above), I found the Apple website informative.

can someone explain why there is a 90 day and a 1year warranty? i thought there were only the 1 year warranty and then you could extend that to 2 years…
Posted by omgwtf in Irvine, CA on March 12, 2004 at 1:18 PM (CST)
My iPod got the 'folder & exclamation point' that would not go away. I when to Apple's website and put in a request for repair. When my request finally went through (it took several tries before it did) I received a package with instructions about 2 days later. I mailed the iPod back on a Thursday and received my new 30 gig iPod on Tuesday of that next week. I was still in warranty. My experience with their support service has been a good one even with trying to order and getting an error message but my credit card ends up being charged for an Apple purchase that wasn't. E-mailing support has been a good experience for me with my problem being resolved quickly and friendly.

I had a faulty 3G iPod remote. I went to the Apple Store in SoHo, told a worker there that it wasn't working properly. He promptly took it from my hand and 5 min. later presented me with a new remote. He never asked for a receipt, my serial number or even my name. Wham, Bam, thank you Apple!

"can someone explain why there is a 90 day and a 1year warranty? i thought there were only the 1 year warranty and then you could extend that to 2 years…"
90 days phone support 1 year parts.
apple care extends both to 2 years.

My son's 2nd generation 20GB iPod's screen was acting up, showing lines and artifacts. He showed it to me on last Christmas Eve, which happened to be the last day of his 1 year warranty. We were going to the Apple Store in Mall of America over the holidays so I planned on taking it in then. But I knew the warranty would then be over, so at 11:30 PM (just minutes before his warranty would expire) I bought the extended warranty for $59 online. When we got to the Apple store a few days later, they verified the extended warranty and handed over a brand new 20GB iPod. Both my son and I were very pleased.

The plastic insulation at the base of my Ipod earphone connector had come off, leaving the wiring inside exposed. I took it to the Apple store in Soho (NYC) and showed it to one salesman. He pointed to the cord, which was (loosely) wrapped around the Ipod, and said, We can't replace it, the way you're wrapping it has put "stress" on the earphone line. This was absurd, so I promptly unwrapped it and showed the Ipod to another salesguy. He gave me a slip of paper with the URL of the Ipod service site on it. I went to the site, filled out the form—they didn't ask me to send in the connector, just input my serial number—and within a couple days I received a new set of earphones. (Well, the first half, anyway, up through the remote control.) So, other than the first bonehead at the Apple store, no complaints at all. (Though that guy was ridiculous…)

My 1 Gen iPod was a month from the end of the warranty period when I got the dreaded file/exclamation point. It also wouldn't hold a charge. I got on line explained the problem and received an email saying a box was coming to return it. 7 days later I received a replacement. This happened about 8 months ago. iPod still going strong. Apple did not charge me anything.

My 15 Gb 3gen iPod's HDD went dead. I went on apples web site and had them send a repair box. I sent it unwillingly.. @ days later I got a box back and it was a new one.. No questions asked… THANKS APPLE !!!!

the firewire connector on my firewire cable detached from the white plastic protector that goes over the metal connection. It still works, but it looks like crap (i like my things nice and neat…especialy those things i pay $430.00 for!). i called the apple support line, and they said it would cost $30.00 for a new one. i told them i wanted mine replaced, and they gave me a site to go to. once i got there, not only did it not clearly lead me to where i wanted to go, but it told me replacing MY cable would cost $69.00. this confused me quite a bit…$30 for a new, or $69 to glue the connector back on? so i said screw it…now whenever i unplug firwire from the AC into the 6 to 4 pin adapter, the plastic overlay falls off and slides down the cable…sigh :(

Consumer Reports did a large-scale survey, and among PC Makers, Apple is top in EVERY category for both support AND hardware reliability. (One of the categories was indeed the speed/ease of their phone support.)

I've had nothing but -GREAT- experiences with Apple's Warrenty Support. I'm currently on my 3rd iPod. the first had battery problems (big surprise there :P ). And the second had some pretty serious hard drive problems, random reboots, skipping songs, etc.
Both times, I used Apple's online form to request service, and literally within ONE week, apple had sent me a box to return my iPod in, ordered a replacent iPod, and sent it back to me. For less than 7 days I was iPodless, and it was a cross-country delivery (I live in NY). No fuss, just simple and fast service.
I am -very- pleased.
(I just wish I could get an iPod that worked, the battery on this one isn't looking so hot :P )

I had a 30GB ipod battery die on me and I called Apple Care and spoke to a Very nice service tech. I was on hold for no more than five minutes and he came back and told me that he was sending me out a BRAND NEW 40GB. I received the unit that weekend. Their ipod support is great.

Comparison of techniques for the analysis of industrial soils by atomic spectrometry
Anderson, P and Davidson, C M and Littlejohn, D and Ure, A M and Garden, Louise M. and Marshall, J (1998) Comparison of techniques for the analysis of industrial soils by atomic spectrometry. International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 71 (1). pp. 19-40. ISSN 0306-7319
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
Methods based on AAS, ICP-AES and XRFS have been developed for determination of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, V and Zn in soil layers from pits excavated on a redundant industrial site. Samples were dried and sieved, and the < 2 mm fraction was ground in a ball mill prior to analysis. For ICP-AES and AAS, Ig sub-samples were digested with aqua regia in a microwave oven. The dry weight detection Limits of the analytes were in the range 2-25 mu g g(-1) for FAAS, 0.003-0.2 mu g g(-1) for ETAAS and 0.04-1.6 mu g g(-1) for ICP-AES. When digests of the industrial soils were analysed, calibration with acid-matched standards gave acceptable accuracy for all the analytes, except for Cd when determined by ETAAS (30-40 % suppression). Despite lack of reference materials of industrial origin, analysis of two soil reference materials by these techniques produced concentrations that were within +/- 10 % of the certified or recommended values for elements extractable with aqua regia. Direct standard-less analysis of a soil reference material with a portable x-ray fluorescence (P-XRF) analyser gave concentrations for a range of elements that were within a factor of 2 of the certified values. When the XRFS and ICP-AES methods were used to analyse the industrial soils, the concentrations obtained were similar (to within 30%) for Cu, Pb and Zn in most of the samples and for Cr, Mn and Ni in some of the samples. The concentrations of V estimated with the P-XRF analyser were 4 to 7-fold higher than those obtained by ICP-AES. The discrepancies were thought to be caused by spectral enhancement interferences in XRFS. Cadmium was not determined accurately by either ICP-AES or P-XRFS owing to spectral interferences. The work has highlighted the importance of analysing samples from across a site and at different depths, when assessing the extent of metal contamination on industrial land.

Hello all,I'm thinking about getting an Sony s tablet and I guess my real debate is if I really need an 32gb over an 16gb. Is it worth the extra $100. Anyone have any input on this?
well it all depends if you have all kinds of media (music/videos/pictures) that you will like to move to your tablet then you might want to consider the 32 GB tablet and also expand with another 32GB SD card, if not you could get the 16 GB and expand your memory with a 32GB SD card which I don't think will cost you $100 dlls. it all depends on you, but as an advise get the 16GB tablet and use the extra $100 bucks to buy a protection plan and down the road just expand memory with SD card if needed.
Hi.. I have a 32GB which you get.. 24GB for you stuff and 4GB for your apps. Also the SD slot has to use a file transfer to and from the main storage. (stop people buying the 16GB and a big SD card??) BUT with astro file viewer I can see the files on the SD... uuumm
I only purchased a 16gb sony tablet and I went out and bought a 32gb sd card for $50. however if you look at the size of the crash bandicoot game download I might recommend the 32gb sony tablet just for the games and then use your sd card for media.
In this case, sometimes bigger is better!! it is better to have space to grow then to get something that fits now and you end up outgrowing sooner than later. An off the cuff recommendation would be to look at the Acer Iconia A500, where you can get a 32GB of storage at approx. 50.00 less than the Sony, and a slightly bigger screen.
