This helmet fit perfectly. It has great full coverage but with enough flexibility so you don't feel claustrophobic. Super comfortable with great strap adjustments. Highly recommend!
Comfortable and protective
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It's a helmet that fits and adjusts well, covers the noggin, retains the headlamp robustly and is comfortable enough that you forget you even have it on. Lightweight and adjusts for all conditions, very easily. Recommended!
Nice Fit, Good Price
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Overall good fitting, adjustable to fit most head sizes, comfortable to wear, no sliding around. I've hit my head with this helmet on multiple times I am confident it will do the desired job
nice looks good price
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This helmet has a sleek appeal , and is very light.
Though compared to the $60 Petzel model, the plastic shell of the Mammut seems to be lower quality. The Petzel certainly has a thicker outer shell. So depending on your usage choose wisely. I use the Mammut for mountain biking and shot top rope climbs. If I were to get serious on the rock Id go for someting else. As a weekend warrior, this works fine.
Great Dome Shield
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I wanted an inexpensive helmet that wasn't the Half dome from BD... Thankfully there was the Skywalker. Is very comfy, fits well, looks good, and protects the brain cage. save your brain and get this bad boy now.
oh and i got the black.. thought it might be to hot but it breathes very very well.
Awesome light weight helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This is an awesome lightweight helmet. It fits great. The ease of adjusting the size comes in very handy, when you take family and friends to try out climbing.

The Force is strong with this one
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
Uhhhh besides the kick ass name this helmet is bomber! My friend loves it. It is light. Well ventilated and fits comfortably. What more could you want from a helmet? Also comes in awesome colors and the headlamp clips make it so you are not fumbling around and adjusting your headlamp strap just clip and go!
Skywalker 2

I love this helmet. Been using it climbing cell towers for 3 years. Think it is about time to buy a new one. The inside top foam has finally broke:(
The skywalker
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I gave this helmet as a Christmas gift to a friend and really didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be everything you want from a climbing helmet. It's comfortable and adjustable to fit all head sizes. has a nice pad underneath the chin has plenty of good ventilation holes for those hot days out at the crag.

nice Helmet
It is a basic , has a good design and is lightweight fits very well and is very comfortable
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I needed a new helmet something fierce. I researched helmets for about month before I ended up buying this helmet. Why did I end up with this one? Well I love Mammut and all the products it sells. As well as the color combos this helmet offered were excellent. I was a little worried about the helmet being mostly black and it getting too hot in a sport where you are in the sun a lot. My worries of this subsided the second I wore in in 90 degree weather and direct sun for 5 hours. It stayed cool and kept me safe. This helmet has excellent safety and comfort options. From a padded chin buckle to adjustable ear spaces.
Decent Helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have used this helmet a handful of times. That being said it is fairly comfortable. The only thing that I do not like is that the straps rub my face a little wrong and just is not the most comfortable when tight.
Overall it breathes decent and is a good helmet. It protects your head!
I was a little worried about buying a black helmet due to most of the climbing I do is in the hot summer sun. This helmet has no issues becoming too hot. Great product.
Good helmet, until the foam comes off after hardly any use.
Mammut Skywalker
I purchased 2 of these helmets a few years ago. Right out of the box this helmet fit perfectly and was surprisingly comfortable. About a month ago I noticed the foam in my first helmet came unglued from the plastic shell and the foam cracked in half right across the vent holes on one side. I duct taped this together to keep the piece from falling out while I was still using it and started using my other newer seldom used second helmet. Within 2 weeks the foam in this helmet has also broken in the same manner and location as the first one. My first helmet (Half Dome) was worn for around 8 or 9 years of 35+wkends of climbing per year before I decided to get a new one. It is still going strong and I use it mostly for caving with no problems still. Despite the comfort of the Skywalker helmet, I would not recommend it.
Good alternative to the generic helmets
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got this as a gift, and I've used it a few time on ice this year. I really enjoyed it. I felt comfortable all day, and after a few minutes forgot it was there. The chin strap is really nice once you get it sized right. Looks cool and protects whats important. All in all, it's a sweet helmet.
Mammut Skywalker 2 Stylish
does the Mammut Skywalker 2 Climbing Helmet fit men and women?
Yes it does! I take this helmet with me as a spare. My girlfriends, my teenage sons, and my husband have all used it and it fit successfully.
More questions? Just call or email me, directly.

Hey I use mine in the sun and it's quite nice to have the vent holes in the helmet the way they are I've used other helmets and they don't let your head breathe at all. I work at a high ropes challenge course and use climbing helmets all day and I say that this is one of the most comfortable helmets I've worn. It's worth buying.
Is this helmet ansi or nfpa certified?
Is this helmet ansi or nfpa certified?
The included manual shows no certification with ANSI, ASTM or NFPA that doesn't mean it's not but I couldn't find anything on their website either. Check with whoever is on your search and rescue team with your department or training officer.
It is CE certified and GS stamped... one is the European Certification (climbing safety) and one is a German Safety certification. It is intended for use in climbing. The ANSI and NFPA requirements may or may not exist in these helmets as they are not designed for workplace/fire rescue use. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer directly.

How's the fit on this? I have a somewhat large-ish head (most CAMP one-size-fits-all helmets don't fit) and the Elios size 2 is just a smidge small with a hat on.
The size range is 53-61cm (21-24in). Measure your head (also with whatever you'll be wearing under the helmet) and that will give you a good idea on the fit.

July 10 (Bloomberg) -- Here is a fact causing Republicans to wonder why Mitt Romney isn't the runaway favorite in his campaign to unseat Barack Obama: No U.S. president since Franklin Roosevelt has won re-election when the unemployment rate was more than 7.4 percent.
So why isn't Romney the clear favorite? Because Obama remains more popular personally than one would otherwise expect. Because the Obama campaign has been more effective at sowing doubt about Romney's record as a wealthy capitalist than the Romney campaign anticipated, which is evidence to some that Romney's campaign isn't overstaffed with brilliant strategists. And because Romney himself has the unfortunate tendency to come off as both artificial and superficial.
Even Romney's allies know he lacks the chemical building blocks of likability. The Republican speaker of the House, John Boehner, was asked recently by a voter in West Virginia the following lamenting question: "Can you make me love Mitt Romney?" Boehner answered, in a plain-spoken manner, "The American people probably aren't going to fall in love with Mitt Romney."
Many of Romney's problems arise from his lack of authenticity. This suggests that he should choose a running mate who conveys a feeling of he-just-can't-help-himself genuineness. Which is why all the talk about Romney's unwillingness to consider New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for the vice-presidential slot is a bit of a mystery to me.
Large Liabilities
There are, to be fair, many reasons Romney might want to keep Christie off the ticket. Christie has an excessively large mouth. He is easily provoked. He turns up late to speeches on occasion. He doesn't quit when he's ahead. He is no one's idea of a deputy. He comes from a state the Republicans can't win, no matter what Romney does. He is a Northeastern laissez-faire Republican mistrusted by social conservatives. And, of course, he is unwieldy and overweight and makes Romney look anorexic by comparison.
On the other hand, if Romney wanted to actually win the presidency, he might consider choosing Christie.
I've been looking at Romney's vice-presidential possibilities for the past couple of weeks (yes, I know, I need to find a better hobby), and I've been struck by two things. The first, as the Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson has noted, is that the field of Republican vice-presidential hopefuls is much more impressive than was the field of Republican presidential hopefuls. (My apologies to fans of Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain.)
The second is that the most talked-about candidates, while in possession of impressive resumes, are almost comically bland. The first rule when picking a vice-presidential running mate is, of course, don't pick Sarah Palin, or anyone who might remind the voting public of Sarah Palin. The people on Romney's short list -- which includes Ohio Senator Rob Portman, former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan -- do not resemble Palin in any way. Romney is safe with any of these candidates.
Will he fill arenas with them? Are any of these candidates particularly skilled at speaking to disaffected blue-collar workers, to Reagan Democrats, without condescension? Pawlenty has a blue-collar background, but he didn't connect with the white working class, or with anyone else, in his abbreviated run for president. Let me put it another way. Do any of these candidates match Christie's preternatural ability to explain Republican deficit-reduction ideas without coming off as bloodless budget-cutters?
Overflow Crowds
I've spent some time following Christie across New Jersey, to town-hall meetings mainly, but also on visits to social-service agencies and, most entertainingly, to a Bruce Springsteen concert in Newark. His town halls are famous for their confrontational tone, but in truth shouting matches are rare. What isn't rare are huge, overflow crowds. I attended events, mainly in high-school gymnasiums, over the past few months, and at each one fire marshals had to cap attendance.
Why do people come by the hundreds to weekday morning meetings in small towns? Because Christie gives them something they want. Not so much the sarcasm (which can be enjoyable), but the skillful, tenacious and blunt articulation of just where New Jersey's government has gone off the rails -- in its budget-making, in its management of state-worker pensions and in its uncanny ability to create unfunded mandates. No one in national politics does a better job of arguing against deficit spending than Christie.
An easy prediction: Christie would be filling basketball arenas with wildly enthusiastic fiscal conservatives within two weeks of being chosen as Romney's running mate.
Another easy prediction: It ain't going to happen.
The downside risk of a Christie pick is fairly small. But from what I understand, Romney is looking for someone who presents no downside at all. This comprehensive aversion to risk might be at the core of the problems plaguing his campaign. If the campaign does figure out that it needs to balance Romney's upper-crust manner with someone who has actual middle-class, even working-class, credentials, it might very well go with Pawlenty. Pawlenty lost his nerve in the Republican primaries, but he was a talented governor.
Can he energize arenas crammed with Republicans looking for inspiration? Doubtful. But nothing the Romney campaign has done so far suggests that it is interested in energizing voters.

'Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Cultures'

Princeton University gives undergraduates many chances to learn about different countries and communities through the interdisciplinary approach of a liberal arts education. The Department of Spanish and Portuguese Languages and Cultures not only teaches another language (or two) but also expands students' view of the world. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
RACHEL PRICE: There's more
than 400 million native
Spanish speakers in the world,
more than 200 million native
Portuguese speakers, and then
people who have it as their
second language.
Brazil is, depending on the
day, the sixth or fifth
biggest economy in
the world now.
So these are really important
traditions and languages to
have in what we're well into,
this post-American century.
BRUNO CARVALHO: So a lot of
our concentrators first
encounter the department now
through freshman seminars.
We have a number of faculty
that teach very exciting
freshman sems.
So that's one route.
The other route is through
basic language courses.
So a student will start learning
Spanish or start
learning Portuguese, will then
go on a study abroad--
we now have, I believe,
four different
study abroad programs--
and become very excited
about the type of work
that they can do.
JOSEPH L. TOBIN: Originally
I came in
thinking I'd study economics.
And I had always enjoyed
I'd always liked Spanish.
And after taking some classes
here and getting exposure to
professionals in the department,
I decided it was
what I wanted to pursue.
SHAYLA REID: Even if I weren't
necessarily going down the
medical route, the language
skills are useful, of course,
but also you learn a lot about
different cultures and sort of
the way people think, how they
interact with things.
ANGEL G. LOUREIRO: We know that
at any time there are
people from different cultures
sharing a life in a society,
there is going to be tensions.
And there is going to be
clashes and conflicts.
Our concentrators learn how to
address those conflicts, not
necessarily to solve them,
because sometimes they are not
solvable, but how to address
them with respect for the
other culture.
STEVEN SERVER: I spent six
weeks this past summer in
Argentina with the Spanish
department's new Princeton in
Buenos Aires program.
And I felt totally comfortable
not only just conversing with
the average Argentine on the
street, but also really
getting into the material that
we learned in our seminar.
DANIEL HANTMAN: A degree in
Spanish is worth it because
this department gives an
unparalleled academic
experience for the time that
you concentrate in the
I think there are other places
on campus where you can
probably do as well, but I don't
think you can do better.
The kind of attention and
challenge that one gets from
the faculty in this department
as well as the encouragement
to cut your own path just
couldn't be better.
And the field is so rich that
whatever your interest within
it might be, you're going
to get the rigor of the
discipline of Spanish or
Portuguese language,
literature, and cultural
studies, but you're going to
get a chance to really explore
what it is that
interests you the most.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
ABERDEEN – A federal race discrimination lawsuit was settled Monday just before a federal jury was seated to try it, documents show.
Three current and one former West Point police officer and the city's Board of Selectmen came to terms in what the plaintiffs' attorney, Jim Waide of Tupelo, termed "the most flagrant example of race discrimination by a black majority governmental body I have ever seen."
Terms of the settlement were confidential, although city records later may show the financial cost.
Both sides will share in jury costs, U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock ordered.
Suing the city in 2010 were former Capt. Romelle Matthews, and officers Tim Campbell, Jeremy Dubois and Jessie Anderson.
Waide said Matthews was fired and the others harassed because of their loyalty to fired former Chief Steve Bingham, who lost his job shortly after a black majority board took office.
Campbell, Dubois and Bingham are white. Matthews and Anderson are black.
Their lawsuit claimed Matthews was fired because he filed an EEOC complaint, and that Campbell and Dubois were denied promotions because they are white.
Waide said Anderson was transferred out of the narcotics unit because he opposed a race-based arrest policy.
The city denied allegations made by the plaintiffs and claimed they failed to use various appeal avenues prior to filing suit.
In its answer to the lawsuit, the city also claimed it possessed immunity against lawsuits and that all employment actions made about the plaintiffs were non-discriminatory.

First Steps to Treatment
First Steps to Treatment
You may feel a little overwhelmed when you first begin treatment for your HIV disease. During your first appointment, your healthcare provider should ask you questions about your medical history, conduct a physical exam, and order various medical tests. This is also a good time to ask all of the questions you may have about living with HIV and various treatment options available to you.
- The initial medical tests your provider may order will give a better understanding of how the HIV virus is affecting your immune system. Two of the most important tests will be a CD4 count and a viral load test. You may also take a drug resistance test to determine the best medication options for you. The results of all of these tests will provide a baseline measurement for future tests.
Your provider may also order some other tests:
- Complete blood count
- Blood chemistry profile (including liver and kidney function tests)
- Urinalysis
- Tests for other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
- Tests for other infections, such as hepatitis, tuberculosis, or toxoplasmosis
- An HLA-B*5701 test: Checks to see if you have a sensitivity to a specific HIV medication (abacavir) and should avoid taking it.
- Coreceptor tropism assay: Checks to see if a specific type of HIV medication is appropriate for you. This test is usually used only if your body has shown resistance to other medications.
Other Needs and Services
When you are beginning treatment for HIV, you may need other services and/or support. During your initial few visits your healthcare provider or case manager may ask you if you need access to the following:
- Housing
- Supportive care and in-home health care
- Mental health care
- Food assistance
- Support groups
- Activity groups
- Pharmacy-assisted medication management programs
It's possible that you will have to complete additional forms or show that you meet eligibility requirements to get access to these programs. Talk with your provider to determine which programs may be right for you.

DM3102, Reviewed October 1993
Many rural Missouri towns face economic and social stagnation caused by economic fluctuations in the United States and the farm crisis. This has hurt business and increased the number of empty stores in towns throughout the state.
Even before the present economic crisis, suburbanization, shopping malls and easy transportation steered business traffic to the outskirts of many communities. Consequently, many downtowns are faced with declining sales, competition from shopping malls, decaying buildings and, finally, the potential loss of the dynamic quality of the community.
Currently, there is a need to increase economic and social activity, as well as community pride, in many downtown areas. Revitalization can result in a spill-over effect, which may help revitalize other aspects of the community. Revitalization is contagious if it occurs downtown. The sense of pride resulting from it might motivate residents to address the blight that exists in the community with renewed confidence and enthusiasm. Downtown revitalization can be a first step in addressing broader problems that exist in rural and urban areas.
Revitalization is accomplished by helping communities:
These activities cannot occur without the commitment of local residents, business people, politicians and civic organizations.
Generally, residents need to find an objective and impartial consultant to get the downtown revitalization process started. In Missouri, community development MU Extension staff members assist in forming committees and task forces to address revitalization attempts.
Components in downtown revitalization include:
As the program grows, a fifth element is brought into play: Helping citizens become involved in economic development strategies related to revitalization efforts.
These components are not sequential. They may all occur at the same time.
Communities need broad participation to ensure that the needs and aspirations of every segment of the community are considered. Business and public sector representation is required if this process is to occur effectively. When the private sector and the public sector, as well as residents, all participate and share decision-making responsibility, the results are even more impressive. Downtown revitalization cannot occur effectively without the consent, commitment and participation of all of these relevant entities.
Community developers help develop strategies to obtain the broad participation required. They also encourage the committees to discuss and consider the indirect impacts of downtown revitalization on other parts of the community. Community developers also encourage discussions about changes that may result from revitalization, such as increased traffic or increased demand for parking and security. Additional committees may have to be developed to address these secondary impacts.
Each component of the downtown revitalization process must incorporate the following steps:
Downtown revitalization may cause one to conjure up visions of new stores and buildings rising from decaying downtowns. In reality, downtown revitalization is a people process. Through it, people make decisions about their community and work to make those decisions bear fruit. It is more realistic to envision downtown revitalization as a progression of decision-making steps. It involves commitment and work that finally results in a dynamic downtown.
Community development field staff are located in MU Extension centers throughout the state. They assist communities in their downtown revitalization efforts. The Department of Community Development at MU provides additional assistance to communities and to the local community development specialists. It also has resource material such as video tapes, slides, monographs and other technical references available.
To contact the Department of Community Development, call or write to Community Development, 723 Clark Hall, MU, Columbia, Mo. 65211, 573-882-8393.

Detroit creditors seek to defend $1.4B pension debt; judge rejects request to assess DIA art
Detroit creditors and bond insurers asked a federal judge to let them defend $1.4 billion in pension debt that the city is trying to invalidate in a lawsuit as part of its $18 billion bankruptcy plan.
Financial Guaranty Insurance Co. faces $1 billion in claims if the city succeeds in throwing out the debt issued in 2005 and 2006, Edward Soto, an attorney for the bond insurer, told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes in Detroit today. The trustee that the city says should fight the lawsuit won't do enough to represent FGIC's interests, Soto said.
"The funding trusts don't face any losses if they lose the case," said Soto, of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP. The two pension systems that got the $1.4 billion also have asked Rhodes to dismiss the city's lawsuit against them.
Detroit this week began sending creditors ballots with documents explaining its debt-adjustment plan, soliciting votes through July 11. Detroit filed the largest U.S. municipal bankruptcy in July, raising alarms over the sanctity of municipal bonds and state-protected pensions. The plan is the product of agreements with retirees, employee unions and some bondholders.
State lawmakers have yet to approve Gov. Rick Snyder's plan to give $350 million over 20 years — or $195 million in a lump sum —
to Detroit's employee pension systems. The money is necessary to secure an additional $466 million from private foundations and the Detroit Institute of Arts to defray pension cuts while shielding the museum's art collection from sale to pay creditors.
Judge rejects assessing DIA art
Also today, Rhodes rejected FGIC's plea for permission to assess the value of city-owned art at the DIA by removing as many as 3,000 works from the walls so experts could examine them.
Art has been a hot issue in the bankruptcy case because many creditors believe pieces could be sold to pay debts. City-owned art has been valued at $450 million to $870 million, but some Wall Street creditors say that's way too low.
Bond insurers facing steep losses in the bankruptcy say potential buyers should be allowed to look at certain pieces at the Detroit Institute of Arts, even remove them from the walls.
But Rhodes said this afternoon that there are no grounds for such an "extraordinary" step. He said art can be viewed just like any other museum patron would see it. Rhodes left it up to the museum if it wants to allow access to art in storage.
The museum claims it's risky, and Detroit remains committed to a separate, unique deal that would prevent any sale and also soften pension cuts for thousands of retirees.
A so-called grand bargain favored by the city, wrapping in illustrious art and city employee pensions, involves $816 million from foundations, philanthropists, the museum and the state of Michigan.
Under Detroit's bankruptcy exit plan, the museum would take control of thousands of pieces of city-owned art already at the museum. The DIA has pledged to raise $100 million of the $816 million pledged to ease cuts for retirees whose pensions are being reduced.

Sterling William Schallert
MADISON – Sterling William Schallert, age 93, of Madison, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013 at a Madison hospital.
Born in Watertown, he was the son of William Henry Schallert and Rose May (Meyers) Schallert. Sterling resided in Sullivan and Fort Atkinson before attending UW-Madison, where he met Ruth Howland Merrihew, whom he married on Oct. 30, 1942. He served as a naval officer on LST 465 during WWII in the Pacific theater.
After the war, he returned to UW-Madison to finish his law degree, then joined American Family Insurance (then Farmers Mutual) where he worked for 37 years, eventually managing Claims for the states of WI, IL, and IN before retiring in 1984.
A long-time member of First Baptist Church, Sterling served at one time on every board of the church. His extensive volunteer work in the community included organizing Boy Scout troops all over Dane County, organizing Volunteers in Probation chapters around the state (working with youth in trouble with the law), and organizing Habitat for Humanity chapters throughout the state of WI, providing yearly training for all 18 chapters. He was an avid book collector, and started libraries in low-income apartment complexes, donating thousands of used books.
Sterling is survived by his wife of 70 years, Ruth Merrihew Schallert; daughters Mary (Ansis) Freimanis of Metairie LA, Nancy Schallert of Sun Prairie, and RuthAnn Schallert-Wygal of Chicago; son William Sterling Schallert of Madison; four grandchildren, Romana (Tito) Autrey of Champaign IL, Michael (Joanne) Freimanis of Pearland TX, Heidi (William) Freimanis-Cordts of Boston MA, Lila Schallert-Wygal of Brooklyn NY; great-grandchildren, Alyssa and Natalie Freimanis and twins Sterling and Adrien Autrey.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters Adelaide Umland and Rosemary Newman; his brothers Winston and Donovan Schallert; and his son-in-law, John Schallert-Wygal.
A memorial service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2013, at FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH, 518 N. Franklin Ave, Madison WI 53705, with the Rev. Mark Clinger officiating. Family can be visited during the reception following.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to First Baptist Church or the Southern Poverty Law Center, 400 Washington Avenue, Montgomery AL 36104.

text: Why cant Hasbro sculpt a decent looking Harison Ford head? I just saw the new stormy Han head and it looks like its imploding, or been run over by a truck. All of the Han heads so far have been excellent likenesses...... of other actors. The first one(ANH and Hoth) looked like David Duchoviny. The second(Carbon froze and Bespin) looked like Tommy Lee Jones. The third one(trench coat) is a dead on likeness of Tim Allen. I was really looking forword to a new sculpt for the stormy Han but Hasbro dropped the ball once again. I have been in need of a good sculpt of Fords head to make a custom Indy Jones from but since Indy and Marion didnt suffer the same fate as the Nazies at the end of Raiders did, I have no need of the newest 12" Han.

Shares of Fusion-io (FIO) are up 62 cents, over 4% at $15.13after several analysts met yesterday with incoming CEO Shane Robison, who replaces founder David Flynn, who departed abruptly last week.
The stock got one upgrade, from UBS's Steve Milunovich, who raised his rating to Buy from Neutral, and raised his price target to $19 from $16, writing that "Although we have concerns about the sustainability of the company's competitive advantage, we think the recent price decline overcompensates for near-term risks."
Milunovich, who initiated the stock in February at Neutral based on concerns whether 40% quarter-on-quarter revenue growth could be sustained, writes that he's more confident after meting with Robison that "the fundamentals are intact and that management will be able to execute on near-term opportunities."
Milunovich outlines some of things he learned from Robison:
New CEO Shane Robison said the board had deliberated for a few months about the skills required to take the company to the next level with an emphasis on geographic diversification and reduced customer concentration. There is no change in strategy, it is more about operating skills. There is no mystery or "story behind the story." The company has been doing too many things behind the scenes. The focus is on faster innovation, integrating acquisitions, and directing sales to the highest payoff opportunities. The executive team is not going anywhere; previous CEO David Flynn remains on the board and is helping with employee retention. Customer conversations have centered on Fusion being able to deliver on price and scale rather than the management change. A shift to the third generation drive for both ioScale and ioDrive will come in the second half as Fusion moves to 20nm NAND and beyond. We see some risk (the gross margin temporarily got hit last transition), but the company is working toward a smooth transition.
Lazard Capital Markets's Ed Parker reiterates a Buy rating today, and a $23 price target, writing "While a credibility deficit sill exists and will undoubtedly take time to restore, we don't see any meaningful changes in the company's trajectory."
The conversation with Robison suggests that the company needed more operational expertise than Flynn could have provided:
Evidently board level discussions have been ongoing for months regarding the need for new leadership to drive the next stage of growth. The company conceded that negative investor reaction is understandable given the manner in which in the change was announced, but strongly dispelled notions that a strategic disagreement, a decision to try to sell the company, or some other negative business development catalyzed the change. While David Flynn's "visionary" leadership qualities have served the company well, ambitions to scale to a billion dollar plus revenue level will require more operational focus. Shane Robison was selected for this reason […] Management noted that the degree of customer concentration is still too high, so efforts to diversify the business, especially internationally where there is significant hyper-scale opportunity, will be an area of increased focus. Other changes included more focused sales and R&D efforts, as Mr. Robison noted that the company was doing "too many things" at once.
Parker notes that investors are especially concerned about Fusion-io's relationships with Apple (AAPL) and Facebook (FB), two customers who have been a larger portion of the company's revenue. He writes, "Management noted that conversations with these customers over the last several days suggest no change."
Piper Jaffray's Andrew Nowinski reiterates a Neutral rating, and an $18 price target, writing that "While we are optimistic Mr. Robison has the experience to drive further enterprise growth, we are still taking a wait-and-see approach with regard to whether spending from the strategic customers resumes in the second of half of 2013."
The reliance on Facebook and Apple was a meaningful issue for the board, writs Nowinski, but the board seems to be managing the balancing act of retaining Facebook and Apple's loyalty, while trying to diversify the company into enterprise sales:
Another issue management pointed out that contributed to the Board's decision to replace David Flynn was customer concentration. Fusion-io is still highly reliant on the company's two strategic customers, with 55% of total revenue in FY12 attributable to these customers. Apparently the board was dissatisfied with the continued high concentration of revenue coming from these customers. In our opinion, the basic form factor of the Fusion-io product is optimized for scale-out, in-server architectures. Those architectures are simply not what a vast majority of enterprises deploy, but rather are deployed by web-scale customers. However, we believe the acquisition of NexGen changes this dynamic and allows Fusion-io to effectively sell into the enterprise market by leveraging an appliance- based product. This form factor is more appropriate for the enterprise, which should lead to greater enterprise penetration. Management stated that David Flynn was actually the "driving force" behind the acquisition, so we are somewhat confused as to why he was not considered an effective leader capable of shrinking the customer concentration. That said, Mr. Robison's background at HP and his experience learning from Mark Hurd (former CEO of HP) should bode well for driving higher enterprise penetration. Management assured analysts that the company's two strategic customers were not concerned with the departure of David Flynn. In fact, management noted that they spoke to the customers last week and the questions they had revolved around whether Fusion-io will still be able to deliver the products they need to scale their data centers at the price they require […] The new platform will be based on 20nm NAND (2Y), but will still leverage an FPGA, though the company is working on developing an ASIC-based controller. Management did note that the second half launch of the new ioDrive 3 is NOT related to the Facebook and Apple purchase deferrals.

text: So I'm looking at the Toy Fair photos of the upcoming AOME figures for this year, and I notice that a lot of them, tiny as they are, actually have not only bendable elbows and knees but also ball-jointed shoulders! On some of the figures I'm counting articulation at the neck, ball-joints at the shoulders, bendable joints at the elbows, a cut joint in the waist, and bendable joints in the knees! That's eight points of articualtion on a two inch tall figure! Freakin' amazing! I can't wait to get my hands on 'em!

Wilfried Zaha ?@wilfriedzaha
I swear I'm not watching arsenal anymore
Wilfried Zaha ?@wilfriedzaha
I am a arsenal supporter but they stress me out
Ramsey played like dog shite Tuesday. With the exception of two passes, Gervinho played like dog shite...
the narrative the club sold to Gunners fans was one of young talent and hope: Things might look dark now, but wait till the youthful core of Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie and Samir Nasri and Emmanuel Adebayor and Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner matures, and you'll see a force that could dominate English football for 10 years. The moment when that blossoming was destined to take place always seemed to be "next season," but it was something to live on, at least. The only problem was that most of the child stars got tired of waiting for themselves to mature and jumped ship for clubs where they could win trophies immediately:2 Fabregas to Barcelona, Nasri to Manchester City, van Persie to Manchester United, Adebayor to various clubs, and Bendtner to Bendtner Comes Alive! FC, a club of 11 Bendtners that plays its league games inside Bendtner's imagination.
But it suggests that Wenger is intelligent enough and flexible enough to think like an executive as well as like a visionary coach — that for him, the two roles may even be synonymous. And that, ultimately, is why it's impossible to say whether Arsenal should fire him or not. Because we, as outside observers, however knowledgeable (and fun, and good-looking) we are, have no idea what the Arsenal board has demanded of Wenger. If they've made vast sums available for his transfer spending and pleaded with him to build the strongest team in England, then yes, his determination to buy bargain players and stick to his own vision has hurt the club. But what if they've ordered him to keep costs down, control wages, and just do the best he can while they get the club's long-term revenue and ownership structures worked out? Obviously, some managers would fail swiftly and hilariously in that scenario (I'm not convinced that Harry Redknapp knows how to subtract). But Wenger? He could just about keep it together under those circumstances, right? And wouldn't his corporate-administrative, "this club is in fantastic shape" side even approve of the project? The only criterion by which we can judge a coach is what he accomplishes with the resources he has. And with Wenger, the background is so complicated that we simply don't know exactly what he's had. He's soccer's quantum uncertainty. He's a terrible coach whose decisions have ruined Arsenal, and he's a brilliant coach whose balancing act has saved Arsenal's future. We have no way of measuring which of those things he really is, so to us, he's both at the same time. The slogan Arsenal fans have always used to express their faith in Wenger is "Arsene Knows." Maybe Arsene does know, and that's why he's gazing into space with that black-hole stare every weekend. For the fans' sake, I hope someone knows something — and at the moment that's all I know about Arsenal.

South Texas Blood & Tissue Center bloodmobile
Frequent blood-donor program comes to UTSA
By Cindy Brockwell
Development Assistant, Office of Student Affairs
(Sept. 14, 2006)--The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center invites UTSA community members to become frequent blood donors -- a Rowdy Life Saver -- to give back to your community and to help yourself at the same time. Frequent donors are those who donate six times a year. Below, see the fall schedule of blood drives at the UTSA 1604 Campus. -
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Sadly, while 60 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood, only five percent do. In keeping with the UTSA community's tradition of volunteering and giving back to the community, UTSA participation continues to grow.
Each pint of blood can save three lives. The South Texas Blood & Tissue Center must draw 500 pints each day to provide for its 43 South Texas counties and 100 hospitals. To reach that goal, they average 15 to 20 blood drives every day.
Blood donations on UTSA campuses have increased steadily each year since 2003, when 268 pints were collected, to 2006 when more than 1,200 pints have been drawn... and we still have more than three months left in the year with more opportunities to participate. In all, 4,736 pints of blood have been collected from UTSA students, faculty and staff since 2003.
The number of blood drive sponsors also has increased, and the list includes many community-minded offices and organizations including Student Health Services, Pre-Med Society, Air Force ROTC, Army ROTC, Chaparral Village and University Oaks, West Campus Facilities Services, Campus Recreation and many others.
Sponsoring organizations receive recognition when their club or office name is promoted at the donor sign-up tables.
In addition to the pleasure derived from giving back to the community, frequent donors are covered for a year by the blood benefit plan. Should you need blood, the program will pay up to $1,000 for blood processing fees. Your children under 17 years of age also are covered under the plan.
Donors also receive special thank-you gifts each time they donate. This year, the gift is a free haircut from Sport Clips, in addition to pizza and a duffel bag or pair of flip-flops.
Most people who are in good health, at least 17 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds may donate blood every 56 days. Photo identification is required. Some medication or medical conditions may keep a person from donating.
Blood donation involves four steps: medical history, quick physical, donation and snacks. The blood collection takes approximately 10-20 minutes. The entire process, from sign-in to the time you leave, takes 45 minutes to one hour.
For more information, visit the South Texas Blood & Tissue Center Web site or call Melissa Escobedo at (210) 275-3935. Internships are available at the center for marketing and communications majors.-----------------------------

Did you know?
- Bypass surgery uses an average of six pints of red blood cells and six pints of platelets.
- The average liver transplant patient needs 40 pints of red blood cells, 30 pints of platelets, 20 bags of cryoprecipitate and 25 pints of fresh frozen plasma.
- The average bone marrow transplant requires 120 pints of platelets and approximately 20 pints of red blood cells.
- Severe burn victims may need 20 pints of platelets during their treatment.
- There is no substitute for human blood.
- If all blood donors gave at least twice a year, it would greatly strengthen the nation's blood supply.
- Cancer, transplant, trauma and open-heart surgery patients require platelet transfusions to survive.

I was wondering if any other Golden Breeders are starting to test for this? If so, has anyone considered a data base, like we do for PRA? Or perhaps a line in k9data.com?
I had a litter last year with some affected puppies. The flaking was mild and at 6 months old, the pup with the worst flaking has no symptoms. Of course, I am not repeating that breeding in the future. As I considered the options for next year's litter I realized that I don't have any resources to determine which boys are carriers and which ones are clear.
Any ideas or feedback?
ps - I am starting to test my dogs but at the prices Optigen charges, it will take a few months.

A little more MGS3 information has been found.. read it all here...
The release date is scheduled for a 2003-2004 release to comply with their statement that a sequel would be released every 2 years.
After the dissapointment of many fans about the inclusion of Raiden, it has been said the Solid Snake will be the only playable character.
I story will take place 3 years after MGS2. The story is rumoured to be complete yet no information about it has been released.

By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:46 PM GMT on September 01, 2013
A tropical wave over the Lesser Antilles Islands (Invest 97L) is moving westward at 15 mph, and is bringing heavy rains and gusty winds to the islands. Top sustained winds in the islands as of 10 am AST Sunday were 26 mph at Monserrat. Heavy thunderstorm activity has sharply increased since Saturday, as seen on satellite loops. A large circulation is evident, with some westerly winds blowing to the south of the disturbance. However, the thunderstorms are poorly organized, and there is no sign of a well-organized surface circulation. Martinique radar shows some rotation to the echoes, though well-organized spiral bands are not evident, and do not appear to be forming. Wind shear has dropped to a moderate 10 - 20 knots over the system. An area of dry air from the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) surrounds 97L and is interfering with development.
Figure 1. Latest satellite image of Invest 97L.
Forecast for 97L
Wind shear is expected to be in the low to moderate range for the next five days, and ocean temperatures will be warm, 28 - 29°C. The disturbance is steadily moistening the atmosphere and is moving into a moister environment, so dry air will be less of an impediment to development as the week progresses. The main factor keeping the disturbance from developing over the next two days would appear to be the fact that 97L is quite large, and is stretched out from east to west over a wide expanse. Large, elongated systems like 97L usually take several days to consolidate and spin up. Another factor that will likely retard development is the presence of strong surface trade winds over the Eastern Caribbean ahead of 97L, south of the Dominican Republic. These strong trade winds are a common feature of the Eastern Caribbean, and make the region something of a hurricane graveyard. As the surface wind flow to the west of 97L accelerates into this wind max, air will be sucked from aloft downward towards the surface, creating sinking air, interfering with the formation of thunderstorm updrafts. The best chance for development of 97L would appear to be on Wednesday or Thursday, when the disturbance reaches the Central Caribbean. The wave will likely spread heavy rains to Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Dominican Republic by Tuesday, and to Haiti by Wednesday. These rains will be capable of causing life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides in mountainous regions in Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. Of our three reliable models for predicting genesis, the UKMET, GFS, and European models, only the UKMET model develops the disturbance, predicting it will become a tropical depression south of Haiti on Wednesday, and near Jamaica on Thursday. In their 8 am EDT Sunday Tropical Weather Outlook, NHC boosted the 5-day odds of formation of 97L to 30%, and the 2-day odds to 20%.
Video 1. You can see why landslides triggered by heavy rains from a tropical cyclone are among the most dangerous hazards of these storms, thanks to a dashboard cam that caught this extraordinary rock slide in Northeast Taiwan on August 31, 2013, after heavy rains from a cold front drenched the island with up to 200 mm (7.87") of rain in 24 hours. The rains fell upon soils already saturated by Thursday's torrential rains from Tropical Storm Kong-Rey, which dumped up to 482 mm (19") of rain on Taiwan, killing three people. The driver of the car caught in the rock slide survived with minor injuries. Thanks go to wunderground member Robert Speta for bringing this video to my attention. A separate video showing the damage to the car and the course of the rock slide is here.

Retraction by '60 Minutes' of Benghazi story adds to confusion
Security contractor's account differed greatly from other witnesses
By Nancy A. Youssef
McClatchy Newspaopers
CAIRO — CBS on Friday retracted its account of what took place last year at the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, a stunning setback for its venerated "60 Minutes" news show that underscored another reality: Fourteen months after jihadists stormed the complex and a nearby CIA compound — killing four Americans, including the ambassador — there's still no accepted narrative of what happened.
It was security contractor Dylan Davies' unheard account of the events of Sept. 11, 2012, that made the "60 Minutes" piece a journalistic sensation after what the news program said was a yearlong investigation. That account differed dramatically from what other reporters and witnesses had said about that night, and it prompted Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., to threaten to block all White House appointments until the Obama administration released notes from the interviews the FBI conducted with survivors of the attack to congressional investigators.
In the end, however, Davies' claims to "60 Minutes" that he'd jumped a 12-foot wall to get into the compound, where he clubbed an attacker in the head with the butt of his rifle, were undone by statements he'd given to the FBI two days after the assault. Those indicated he'd been nowhere near the compound when the attack took place, which matched a report Davies had given his bosses at the Blue Mountain security company — a document that somehow escaped the notice of "60 Minutes" investigators.
Other parts of his "60 Minutes" account didn't match published reports of what happened that night. For example, Davies claimed he'd sneaked into the Benghazi Medical Center and spotted the body of Ambassador Christopher Stevens lying on a gurney. The doctor who treated Stevens, however, had told McClatchy that no Westerners arrived to pick up the ambassador's body until 6 a.m. Sept. 12, more than six hours after Libyans had taken the unconscious Stevens to the facility.
Davies' statement to the FBI two days after the attack said he'd learned of Stevens' death on Sept. 12, around the time when Libyans and Americans confirmed it.
On Friday, CBS correspondent Lara Logan, whose "60 Minutes" piece aired Sunday, appeared on the network's "This Morning" show and apologized for the piece, saying Davies was no longer credible. Logan said she was misled, adding: "We made a mistake."
She said she didn't know about the FBI incident report until after her piece aired, but she offered no explanation for how it had escaped notice. CBS had removed the story from the "60 Minutes" website and apps overnight.
"What we know now is he told the FBI a different story to what he told us," Logan said. "That was the moment for us when we realized that we no longer had confidence in our source and we were wrong to put him on air, and we apologize to our viewers."
Publisher Simon & Schuster said Friday it was withdrawing Davies' book, "The Embassy House: The Explosive Eyewitness Account of the Libyan Embassy Siege by the Soldier Who Was There." It was published on the conservative Threshold Editions imprint two days after the "60 Minutes" story.
Davies had written the book under the pseudonym Morgan Jones, which is how "60 Minutes" identified him in Logan's story about Benghazi.
Within hours of the attacks, they became fodder for opponents of the Obama administration.
This report includes information from the Associated Press.
CBS correspondent Lara Logan said security contractor Dylan Davies was no longer credible.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – The state House passed legislation Tuesday that could affect the amount of money generated for local school districts by the Mississippi Adequate Education program.
One bill, which passed 115-1, would require a student to be in school 63 percent of the "instructional school day" to be counted for the district's average daily attendance. Another proposal would require the Adequate Education Program, which is the funding formula used to determine the amount of state money going to local school districts, to be recalculated every year instead of every four years by the state Board of Education.
House Appropriations Chair Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, stressed the intent of the legislation is not to provide less state funding for local school districts.
Legislative leaders said their goal is to keep education funding level this session, which would be more than $200 million less than full funding under the MAEP formula. They said the rebound in state tax collections has not been strong enough to fully fund the program.
"We want to maintain 89 percent" of full funding, Frierson said. "If it gets much below that … it gets ugly real fast. You are talking about it impacting warm bodies and lots of them."
State Auditor Stacey Pickering had complained to legislators that school districts are not using a uniform definition of average daily attendance. He said districts where some students might attend for only a brief portion of the day are getting the same funds as those where students stayed all day.
"We just want to make ADA uniform across the state," Frierson said.
The other legislation changing when the Adequate Education Program funding formula is recalculated passed 81-35. Some expressed concern that the recalculation would result in less funds being generated for local schools.
The formula works by the state Board of Education identifying "adequate," or successful, districts and determining how much they spend for school operations – the instructional, administrative, maintenance and ancillary costs.
Based on the expenditures in those districts, an average cost per student is developed. Local school districts statewide are supposed to receive that average cost per student multiplied by their average daily attendance.
Under current law, the formula is supposed to recalculated for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2014.
Because districts have been dramatically underfunded during the recent economic slowdown, when the formula is recalculated it will generate about $170 million less for the local school districts.
Frierson said that will happen whenever the formula is recalculated.
He said his goal is to recalculate the formula for the new fiscal year, starting July 1, to see if the amount going to instruction will be reduced more than the amount going to administration. He said if that is the case, the formula might need to be "tweaked" to increase the amount of education funding going to instruction.

*I drew a tag for zone 507 time period C with 1 PP.
*My friend who has 0 PP's did not draw.
*My father in-law who has 0 PP's did draw.
*My tiger friend that has has 2 or 3 PP's drew a tag.
Not too bad if 3 of the 4 in our group free tags. My buddy that find't draw might just bow hint the last 4 time periods in the Waconia area.
I know in the past that drawing for the old 239 was once every 2-3 years and now it appears as though the new zone 507 the odds have increased. For some reason or another turkey hunting was very popular in old zone 239 but not as popular in some of the other zones that are now part of zone 507. Hence the reason why the odds of getting drawn appear to be better this year.

What You'll Get
The deal
- $31.80 for $50 cash voucher
- $59.80 for $100 cash voucher
Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory
Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory comes as no stranger to piquing the heat-inclined Asian palate as the eatery brings with it the cumulative experience yielded from a repertoire of up to 100 establishments set throughout South Korea. With tried-and-true recipes, the restaurant also seeks to introduce an authentic garnishing of flavours as its sauces and ingredients come sourced from Seoul to ensure worldwide consistency and the fair treatment of all its poultry portions. Fried chicken platters and crispy breaded tenders are the order of the day here as Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory serves the famed meat in the style of Korean chimaek - a portmanteau comprising the 'chi' from 'chicken' and 'maek' from 'maekju' (beer) - with homemade whipped cream making occasional appearances, frothed atop servings of beer or dolloped on creamy chicken Nest Snow dishes. Famished wanderers may vault across the restaurant's Tangram-motif railings and into its warmly lit fold, seizing opportunities to sample servings of chicken bits and tenders, slathered with spicy Chir Chir sauce, sweet soy, Cajun batter, or a garlicky glaze.
Nest Snow, My favorite dish that night: the Cajun chicken tenders swam in a hotplate of cream sauce, made creamier by whipped cream, parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar. Who can resist cheese on fried chicken? – Mar 15, 2015
– A. Nathanael Ho
If you intend to go alone, Don't. Bring 2-3 friends. Maybe 4-5. The rationale is that Korean restaurants are usually family based and food is meant for sharing. The most popular dish in Korea was the Nest Snow…You get deep fried chicken tenders swimming in a pool of rich creamy white sauce, a scoop of sweet salad hidden below, and a swirl of fresh whipped cream to top it all. Mix them all up before eating…We liked that the restaurant provided 'kiap' to hold on to your chicken parts, especially if you do not like to eat with your hands. – Feb 5, 2015
– Daniel Ang
The distinguishing factor between Chir Chir and some other Korean fried chicken chains is that it uses only fresh chicken. Furthermore, all its sauces are imported from Seoul to ensure that taste is consistent across all their outlets worldwide. – Mar 9, 2015

So tell me, how do you all add stitching to your paper layouts? Do you use a normal sewing machine? Do you use a paper sewing machine or is there such a thing? How much time does it take? If I wanted to incorporate stitching on my paper layouts what would I have to buy and where would I buy it? I don't even know if I could work the machine properly. LOL.
Give me the scoop on stitching.

Too bad you aren't closer: I have 3 machines. One my grandma bought for me when I was born (goes forward and backward, your basic Sears Kenmore circa 1955); one my mom bought while we lived in Japan: a portable but all metal so it weighs a ton. She gave it to me so I could do my own button holes and zigzag edges, and finally one I bought for myself----so lovely, that when my mom saw it she went and bought one just like it. I am thrilled to have it, but rarely use it. However it made sewing those vampire costumes a breeze and was worth every penny!
As for stitching: I do it digitally, but it's still hard to capture every nuance perfectly (but I bet Tonya could!)
Posted 16 March 2005 - 11:50 AM
I have heard that those little portables that Michaels and Joann sell work pretty well, but ALWAYS test your stiches on scrap paper before you sew! That is my advice...

I remember reading this somewhere... If you don't want to invest in a machine, punch holes in your paper with a needle, using graph paper as a guide. Then you can hand stitch the papers. You could also use embroidery floss this way for a different effect.

What I found was a Kenmore Mini-Ultra on EBAY. I think they are still being sold there, for hmm, either $40 or $60. I can't remember. I love it. It does 3 different sizes of straight stitches, and 3 different sizes of zig-zag stitches. I use it a lot. It's not exactly portable, but it's small and sits on a table top.

I does many many stiches (around 40) and there are many feet that I just don't know how touse, like the embroidery foot, I tried using it, but it made a whole knotty mess, I gave up until I get time to take lessons to further my knowledge
I do my scrapbooking stiches digitally
you use the - and the _ caracters in a font you like, then you can emboss it or add a bevel and then add a dropshadow and it can look pretty real...

so I was so grateful for the manual LOL. I luckly remembered how to thread it and wind the bobbin with help from the manual.
Now ,about using it for lo's and cards , It went very well and fast.
I used the zig zag stitch and practiced first to get the size of stitch , size meaning length and space of stitches. It does become addicting. Also I would recommend having a lot of bobbins wound in all different colors to be prepared. Hope this helps!

I have also found digital stitching (zig-zag) can be really effective and pretty convincing and there are also some gorgeous stitching rub-ons available now.
so, if the thought of getting a sewing machine out again fills you with horror, the same effect can be achieved by other means!!

Rub-ons that look like a sewing machine.
There are just somethings that can't be faked. Real sewing is that. To me, it's like fake violins on a CD. I play the violin so I can ALWAYS spot them.
If you've ever done real sewing then you can spot the fake stuff right away. For one thing, it's just not that perfect. Nothing done in real life is....
I've been a sewer all of my life. It was expected (in my generation in my family where I lived) that all female children would learn to sew clothing because they would be mothers someday. (Just like it was expected that I learn to bake, to bottle jam, plant a garden and all of that stuff... It was a matter of honor, sort of, to learn to do those things... I didn't feel picked on. I felt like I was learning time-honored traditions.)
And it was cheaper to sew clothing until Walmart got into the action and changed the world. I used to sew all of my boys clothing (my older two boys). That's all I could afford for them. I made their jeans and everything.
By the time Andrew and Julianne had come along, the world had changed and it was more expensive to sew their clothes. I've only made Julianne one dress and she only wore it once.
So my sewing machine just sat around, gathering dust for years...
Until I started to sew on my scrapbook pages again. I love it.
Mandy - that box I'm making? The top has all kinds of papers layered up with sewing around the edges.
But don't - under any circumstances - buy one of those little craft sewing machine things. They are junk and people that get them hate them. You have to have the real deal.
If you want one, I'd go to yard sales, look on eBay - or even just put out the word. You might be surprised to find out that there are lot of women out there (my age) that aren't scrapbookers that have their sewing machines just sitting around and would love to give them a home for cheaps. Tell people that you'd like a used sewing machine that works... that you don't care if it's old as long as it works. You only need it to do two things well - straight stiches and zig zag stiches. The new ones come with so many bells and whistles that you just don't need.
But you have those little girls.... who knows? You might find it fun to make them some little dresses. It's pretty fun, actually. If you are interested in that kind of thing, you have to have a machine that will make good button holes.
I've had machines that do all of the fancy stuff. Guess how often you use those things (unless that kind of thing fascinates you... )? Almost never.
Okay - now I'm off of my grandma's sewing machine soapbox.
Tee hee

Might keep my eye out for a cheap sewing machine at yard sales this summer like you mentioned Ro. Afterall, if it's cheap enough, it's okay if I can't figure out how to use it because I won't have sunk a lot of money into it. I don't think I'll be needing the one that does button holes. I won't be making any clothes. I have enough other things on my plate, not to mention my girls have two wonderful grandmas who supply them with clothes like crazy. I'm blessed that way. Thanks for ALL of your responses on stitching. Keep this thread flowing (no pun intended)...I'm enjoying reading it.
