It is not about the Republicans or the Democrats, nor about the left vs. the right. It is about right vs. wrong. But who is right? If you or I select what is right then it is subjective and neither of us is actually right.
If our definition of right comes from our creator, which is found in the scriptures, then we have an objective truth, which is right.
For example, some people in America believe the following:
u That former President George W. Bush caused 9/11
u Rosie O'Donnell is a Patriot
u The Constitution is a living document

The road's surface channels straight through the Alcantara wheel as I attack a series of fast, off-camber corners. I'm doing my best Ravaglia-style wheelmanship in a stealthy black Japan Evolution M3 on Hong Kong's Repulse Bay Road. This scenic highway overlooking the South China Sea is a curvaceous ribbon of pavement that winds up, down and along the southernmost peninsula of Hong Kong island—essentially the Chinese Rivera.
The bark of a proper motorsport soundtrack fills the cabin as I complete a full-throttle upshift from Third to Fourth gear, feeling the engine coming on cam twice, first at 4800 rpm, then bang! again at 6000 rpm, powering onward to the 6750-rpm redline. Still, the four-cylinder's sound is overshadowed somewhat by the primal scream emanating from the gray E46 M3 CSL on my tail. The E46 is itself being chased by a red E36 M3 Evolution, and together they serve as my motivation to press on with conviction.
Peeling down a rock-lined pass, the E30 feels securely planted as I continue the attack, the chassis allowing me to gain confidence, and with it, speed. The ride is firm but perfectly acceptable—this go-kart can still slide when provoked but regains posture fluidly. Like all E30 M3s, it was designed to do one thing and one thing only: win races.
With a comparably small production of 19,576 units produced versus 85,440 units for the E46 M3 and a "projected" 100,000 for the E90 and E92, the original is revered within collector circles. Particularly the rare special editions. There were no less than eight "series" (more than one example produced), or special editions. Three were specific homologation models: Evolution I, Evolution II and Sport Evolution. These were joined by an additional five limited editions.
Among the rarest and most desirable are the elusive Japan Evolution cars—consisting of merely two cars, and the only ones produced in right-hand-drive. These were never officially announced or put into a catalog by BMW; they were supplied to preferred customers. Because both examples resided in private collections in Japan until early this year, very little was known about them.
The story of the Japan Evolution begins with being at the right place at the right time. By chance, Mr. M. Mori, a Japanese BMW customer, visited BMW M's facility in Garching during the summer of 1988. Tucked away in a corner of the workshop among various competition cars, he spotted a bespoke yellow M3 convertible that featured bright-red leather upholstery and… right-hand drive.
The technicians explained that it was a one-off commissioned by the Brunei royal family. The car was experiencing production delays due to the fact that many of the bespoke materials (woods, leathers and options) specified were still undergoing M division's rigorous testing regime.
Upon returning to Japan, Mori contacted a friend and fellow BMW enthusiast Mr. Y (who prefers to remain anonymous), who personally knew BMW M Managing Director Adolf Prommesberger, to inquire if it was possible to commission a small batch of RHD cars for "traditionalist" Japanese customers. (While it is legal to drive both LHD and RHD in Japan, traditionalists maintain a preference for RHD cars.)
The timing was perfect as Prommesberger was in the process of proposing a new bespoke car customization business concept to the BMW board. Prommesberger proposed two Japan Evolutions based on the then-current Evolution II. This would allow BMW management time to evaluate a business case of further developing the E30 into a factory RHD offering. Unable to manufacture such a small run at the main production line, BMW supplied them in conjunction with the M division.
The conversion from LHD to RHD was straightforward, as the principal mechanical work required the fitment of a modified right-hand-drive rack-and-pinion steering rack from the 325i, along with RHD pedals and dashboard—all easily sourced from the parts bins. Otherwise the cars retained standard M3 mechanisms, although bespoke sport exhausts were fitted to both.
The first to arrive was Mori's Alpine White example that featured a black extended Nappa leather interior. Mr. Y's car was delayed as he had second thoughts about the color. He had originally ordered it in Diamantschwarz metallic (metallic black) but after further consideration, and while BMW M was performing the RHD conversion, he requested that the car be repainted Jet Black non-metallic—to match his Jet Black Ferrari Testarossa. While the car was at Garching, Mr. Y was informed of the upcoming Sport Evolution (due at the end of 1989) and seized the opportunity to convince BMW M to include the upcoming model's interior in his Japan Evolution M3.
After the Japan Evolutions were delivered, BMW decided against any further development of a RHD M3. The reasons included the fact that BMW did not anticipate substantial orders for RHD versions of the models from places like Japan, where the stock market crashed in 1989. From an engineering standpoint, the work required to reconfigure the M3's production line would have been too extensive to be cost effective.
The current custodian for the black Japan Evolution is another Mr. Y: Kevin Yeung, a Hong Kong businessman and car enthusiast. It is actually his second E30 M3. "I had a 1988 U.S. specification M3 while I was living in New Hampshire," he says. "Since then, M3s in various guises have always been part of my life. But the E30 remains my favorite. I'd been searching for one in RHD since returning to Hong Kong over a decade ago. Earlier this year, I was alerted on the possibility of purchasing a black example in Japan. Only after it was delivered did I finally realize just what I had purchased."
At first glance, it resembles a standard Evolution II with the Sport Evolution's distinctive red bumper highlights. Once I noticed the steering wheel was on the right side, though, the realization hit—I was standing next to one of the rarest M3s in the world.
I board the car and settle into the generous Recaro seat (Mr. Y. is a large man by Japanese standards and requested BMW M to provide his car with a large size Recaro seat). A special dashboard plaque sits prominently ahead of the gearshift, clearly designating the car's Japan Evolution provenance. The only modification Yeung, an audiophile, made has been installing a bespoke McIntosh stereo system.
I twist the key and the S14 wakes with a meaty wrarrrap. This is followed by the powerplant's distinctive tapping sound at idle. It sounds raw. These S14 Evolution II engines were reworked with the introduction of high-compression pistons (11:1 up from 10.5:1) while the air intake was revised to include a 265-degree intake cam.
Evolution II aerodynamic modifications specific for homologation purposes were included on the Japan Evolutions. They received deeper front spoilers with brake cooling ducts in lieu of fog lights and rear lip spoilers on the boot. While the standard Getrag five-speed dogleg gearbox was carried over from the standard M3, the final drive ratio was changed from 3.25:1 to 3.15:1, resulting in a 0-62 time of 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 152 mph.
However, as I found, the E30 M3 is not without flaws. Its Achilles heel is its archaic braking system. The Bosch ABS braking system was developed in the early 1980s and worked with tiny two-piston calipers clamping on 280mm ventilated discs in front and 282mm solid discs at the rear.
Yeung also recognizes the problem and has commissioned a bespoke braking system based on modern AP Racing components. "When my car arrived," Yeung says, "it came with two sets of 7.5x16-inch alloy wheels—the polished ones on the car today, along with the factory alloys. I wanted to keep the car on 16-inch wheels, but by doing so, I was unable to fit proper off-the-shelf brake upgrades."
At length, my early-morning E30 blast comes to an end. As I part ways with my driving companions, I glance back at the trio of M3s and ponder the question: Which one would I want?
The answer is simple: The one that claimed victories at the 24 Hours Nürburgring, Spa 24 Hours, Guia Race, European Touring Car Championship, Manx Rally, Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft—and of course, won World Touring Car Championship titles.

Stop the crosswind shimmy.
Deeper is better. Right? Maybe if you love Chicago style pizza. When it comes to choosing race wheels, deep rims often bring with them instability problems caused by crosswinds. And even though you may feel fast, every millimeter of side-to side movement adds seconds to your time. To help counteract this, Steve Hed and his engineers created a deep-section wheel that not only improves stability, it also performs as a box-section wheel would in a crosswind -- in other words, the side to side shimmying is reduced. The HED Stinger 9 FR Carbon Tubular Wheelset is a result of these efforts.
Stability Control Technology is a hallmark of HED's wheels. It is used to smooth airflow as it flows across the rim. This means that despite the larger surface area of the 90mm-deep rim, the wheel continues to hold its line in a crosswind because air is flowing smoothly over it, not buffeting against it. The nice thing is that even with this shaping, the wheel is no more visible to the wind than it used to be, so it offers a handling improvement with no aerodynamic cost.
With the shape of the Stinger 9 dialed in, HED engineers shifted their focus to on the type of carbon used to make the rim, as well as the orientation of the fibers. Using three different types of carbon fiber and a unique layup schedule, HED made the Stinger 9 -- 15% stiffer laterally and 10% more impact-resistant, while at the same time making the rim 25 grams lighter.
As with all HED C2s, this carbon-fiber rim is 28mm wide. C2 stands for the two C's that the rim is designed to minimize, Cda, or aerodynamic resistance, and Crr, or rolling resistance. The width is designed to maximize the efficiency of air passing over the tire and rim by smoothing out the air flow. It also maximizes the efficiency of tires by providing better support and a better-shaped contact patch for the tire. Because of the width, you'll minimize rolling resistance and maximize aerodynamics by using 22-23mm wide tires. 19-21mm tires won't ride well; choosing 19-21mm tubulars is also not a great idea as not only won't they seat well, and the tall sides will come perilously close to bottoming out on rough road surfaces.
The Sonic hubs are also of HED's design. They run ABEC5 bearings on oversized axles, 12mm in front and 15mm in the rear. HED spaced the flanges as widely as possible to create a stronger bracing angle, resulting in better lateral stiffness. This year, there's a lighter front hub; the carbon-shafted, aluminum end-capped FR Sonic front hub, which is designed for radial lacing. In the back, you'll find a stiffer lacing pattern, two-cross on both sides for stiffness, matched up with an all-aluminum rear hub. Both wheels are laced with Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes, the front getting 18 radially laced spokes and the rear bumping up to 24.
As a rear wheel, the HED Stinger 9 FR can be used by anyone. However, the front wheel is best utilized by an athlete that rides 25mph or faster in light or medium wind conditions. For the athlete that isn't breaking the 25mph barrier, HED recommends reserving the front wheel for days when winds are light.
The rear wheel is available to fit Campagnolo cassettes and the freehub bodies are easy to swap out with two 5mm hex keys. The HED Stinger 9 FR Carbon Tubular Wheelset comes with valve extenders and HED titanium skewers. Any carbon-specific brake pad should work well with HED's braking track. The recommended rider weight limit is 210lbs.

Yesterday came the unsurprising news that Frank Thomas is calling it a career, although that's really only a technicality as Thomas last played with Oakland and Toronto during the 2008 season. As a young Chicagoan who grew up watching Thomas, I never quite grasped his brilliance as youngin' , but I do have memories of his monster 2000 season, when he posted a .439 wOBA with 43 HR, 44 2B, a .328 batting average and 143 RBI. It was sad to see him leave Chicago on a relatively negative note, but it's likely that he'll go down as the greatest hitter to ever call Chicago his home. …

The Large White Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiaca) was Made Famous as Harry Potter's Owl, Hedwig
The male snowy owl is almost pure white, while the female is white, fairly heavily barred and speckled in dark brown or grey. Juveniles are similar to the female with more bars and streaks. It has golden eyes and black bill. The feet are feathered, with black talons.
Length: 53-56cm; wingspan: 142-166cm
Status in the UK
Former breeder; unlisted; occasional birds present in summer, winter visitor
Population Trends
The snowy owl was a regular winter visitor to northern Scotland and the islands in the early part of the 20th century. But reports declined until a series of invasions in the early 1960s resulted in birds summering on some of the Scottish islands.
This culminated in the first UK breeding record when a pair nested on Fetlar in Shetland in 1967 and for the next eight years. They produced 21 young over the period. A second female joined the pair in 1974 and 1975 and, although she laid eggs, none hatched. In 1976 the male failed to return. The two females summered on Fetlar until 1993, but no further male joined them and no further breeding has occurred since.
However in spring 2008 there was hope that they might breed again when a male and female were seen on North Uist, but sadly the male moved on to Lewis.
Habitat and Distribution
These owls are found on tundra and high fells, often near the coast. In Shetland they bred on grass moorland with heather, rock outcrops and scattered boulders.
The birds that stay during the summer mainly occur on the islands of northern Scotland. The species is recorded more widely in winter, especially in invasion years when their prey has crashed in Scandinavia.
The nest is a scrape on top of a hummock, ridge or outcrop providing the incubating bird with good views of approaching predators. Such sites also remain snow free in the snowy owl's usual tundra habitat. The number of eggs in a clutch increases when prey is plentiful.
The snowy owl hunts mainly in the twilight. In the Arctic it feeds mostly on lemmings, but takes other small mammals and birds when lemmings are scarce. Those nesting in Shetland mainly caught rabbits and some young wading birds. In the owl's winter quarters birds up to the size of ducks and gulls are caught both in flight and on the water.

In an interview with KTVI-TV on Sunday, the GOP Senate nominee [Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.)] was asked if he supported abortion in the case of rape.
"From what I understand from doctors, that's really rare," said Akin said of pregnancy caused by rape. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist."
... (story cont at the link below)
At this point, I shouldn't be surprised and I shouldn't bother telling anyone else that this level of stupid exists in positions of power, but I just can't help it. It needles at me until I'm about to burst, that there are (supposedly) educated people out there who spew this garbage yet maintain a following. Granted, he does later "recant" his statement, but the damage is already done. Maybe the reason I am posting this is that I just need the comfort of smart people right about now.
I hope the man doesn't have any daughters.
Views: 941
i often wonder how they would feel if this scenario played out in their own family. somehow, i think they would change their tune.
The only thing I hope for when I see such stupidity in action is that I Hope Akin's Stupidity COSTS HIM VOTES! Otherwise, he's just one more stupid, representing even MORE stupids.
I hope it cost him votes too. Too bad he won't step down.
Akin not stepping down might be a good thing, if it dilutes the Republican vote. Mary Matalin said on Sunday that the party is ready to run and finance a "third-party" write-in candidate.
Matalin: We are going to win Missouri and Wagner is going to be our candidate. The party is going to get Ann Wagner in.
Stephanapolous: So you are just convinced he's going to get out
Matalin: Or we'll run a third party, we'll run a write-in. We can do it. We have the money to do it. We are going to transfer the money. It's not as easy. But it's a good state for Romney and we will get it back.
This week I was reading about Galenus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galen whose ideas were popular in the Middle Ages. One of his ideas was that women only get pregnant after an orgasm. So if a woman complained that she was raped and she wasn't pregnant, there was no proof. If she was pregnant they concluded that it was no rape...
I can forgive Galen for his mistakes, but that Akin...
If this were true, our population problem would improve.
This guy is from my area (St. Louis) and is currently the representative for the current 2nd District, which contains the well-to-do areas of West St. Louis County and St. Charles County.
Being from the area, I almost feel I have to apologize to everyone for him.
You have my condolences.
As of this morning, his "recant" really isn't. He has just kept repeating that he misspoke, sorry that he misspoke, etc. Has not really apologized or said it's a wrong statement. Another example of the war on women by the GOP. Romney/Ryan are scrambling backwards as fast as they can to distance themselves from this cretin, as are other members of the GOP. I am with Loren. I hope this costs him votes. On second thought, I hope this makes him dropout altogether.
Oh, on his bio, it says he has 6 children, 2 daughters. Also 8 grandkids.
You beat me to it Tony, I was going to say that he hadn't pointed to a particular portion of his statement as to recant, he generalized. I love how they equate "I didn't mean to say that." with "I apologize." .....
Obviously the Republican Party Idiot Defense system is down and has been failing for the last few years... bugs like this one keep slipping through the cracks in the dead of night.
When 46% if the U.S. population believes that human beings were created in their present form, it's no surprise to me that we have "leaders" in government making these kind of ignorant statements. They are part of that 46% and they were elected to office by voters who are also part of that 46%. If our congress is anyway representative of the demographics of our citizens, that means almost half our elected officials are ignorant dumb-asses. I think we clearly have seen that is the case time after time.
FA, its not only here, its everywhere. About 3-4 yrs. ago, I decided to broaden my news horizons. I started to watch British, Irish, Australian news feeds, since they were mostly english speaking. Then found some from Germany and Russia in english. I had hopes that my fellow humans in other places weren't quite as ignorant, mysoginistic, self-inflated, materialistic, ego-centric as we in America, but I was disappointed. Maybe not quite as bad as we were, but the nutters were just as loopy and were jusy as vociferous in their delusions as were ours. Dumb-asses indeed. We just seem to have more that consider their dumb-assery an asset, and the general public sheeple along, bleating. Compartmentilization and justification. Willing to overlook anything as long as he/she agrees with what is most important to the person casting the vote. I don't know how many times I've heard people say, I'm voting for A, because they believe in abortion/right to life, decriminilization/stronger drug laws, etc. One issue only. The rest of the issues seem to be of perepherial importance. The worst are the party voters. I vote Republican/Democratic only. Doesn't matter issues. Strictly a party man/woman. This is injecting an emotional response into a non-emotional situation. Also dogmatism. Both very dangerous.
We have the ability as humans to think, to reason, to rise above. We can learn, evolve, go beyond our stagnant, destructive delusions, to elevate ourselves and others in the process. Many in the past have, as do many now, and hopefully more in the future. Sorry my friend, got up on the box a little. Stepping down now. Be well, take care.

BOSTON (July 22, 2014) – Major League Lacrosse announced today that the first ever "Burn Cancer" week will be held July 31 through August 2, in support of the HEADstrong Foundation and to raise awareness for all forms of blood cancers.
Throughout the action-packed week, MLL players will wear HEADstrong lime green shoelaces, MLL coaches will sport lime green shirts and select players will wear Warrior Lacrosse equipment specifically designed with HEADstrong elements, raising awareness and representing the patients, survivors, and victims of the disease. Lime green is not only the National Awareness Color indicating non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, but also the adopted color of HEADstrong, which Nick Colleluori, founder of HEADstrong, believed was meant to invigorate and enliven those who wore it.
Nicholas "HEAD" Colleluori founded the HEADstrong Foundation shortly after being diagnosed in 2005, and his legacy continues to live on through the organization's work. The foundation strives to provide those working to eliminate blood cancers with any necessary materials that may help to improve the quality of life for those affected by the disease. HEADstrong aids the battle to defeat blood cancer through fundraising, raising awareness, providing services to improve quality of life for those affected and education. Through this joint partnership, MLL hopes to meaningfully contribute to their efforts.
"Since our inception in 2006, the HEADstrong Foundation has established an awareness campaign using the color lime green – which is the awareness color representing non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, the disease that claimed our Nick's life," Nick's mother Cheryl Colleluori said. "The visibility and representation of HEADstrong on the playing field during MLL's Burn Cancer Awareness Week, is a tribute to the life and legacy of our founder Nicholas as well as a statement of hope and strength in support all of those living with cancer. We graciously applaud Major League Lacrosse for taking a stance and helping HEADstrong to get aHEAD of cancer."
Fans in attendance at the games during "Burn Cancer" week will receive lime green HEADstrong wristbands so they can show their support for this great cause.

[Intro: Goo Goo Dolls Sample]
Don't want the world to see me
Don't think that they'd understand
Everything's meant to be broken
Want you to know who I am
[Verse 1]
My lifetime came from struggle
All I've seen is what I follow
My skin color, automatic transaction
I'm already classified, no second chance
Taught to feel nappy hair, little grade
Why can't I sag when it's just a style
Little beard, black hoodie, and I'm all good
People judge before they even know me
Stare at me, don't know I'm lonely
Outside's from these stares from police
And I get the bad rep because another man
That just looks like me
Think life's a movie like Spike Lee, too cool like Ice T
Yeah, I move with Life's Peace
And he move with the gun piece
So there's no peace
I gotta go to the hood, all I see is
Divided, the freshest schizophrenics
Men pimping women, people losing vision
Given choices before she started living
I hate myself
I see myself in the mirror, but I don't see nothing
If you understand what I'm seeing please tell me something
When you black, the media make you wonder why
I just need my history, because I hate myself
[Verse 2]
It makes me sad to see pimping
Like I'm at a battle with my surroundings
Everybody do it, but not really
And I couldn't imagine my momma
Universal knowledge is karma
I see young girls hanging off the corner
And they searching for love in the wrong space
Gave her mind to a pimp, now he's changing faces
Sometimes I just wish I could trade places
I hate myself for being taught the rules of the hood
Which don't matter, no respect and no love
Ain't got jail for the real thugs
And I'm sorry to all the innocent in prison
You get a second chance when you free or in heaven
I promise if you really love and you watch your steps
Respect everybody, man you will get blessed
Get your point across without violence
The black dying by the gun, I'm tired of crying
I hate myself
For real man, this been in my heart for a long time
And if you understand, please tell me something
When you black, the media make you wonder why
[Verse 3]
I'm ready to give up my old thoughts
I'mma move past what I saw
I'mma do what I want and be happy
I'm not gon' rob or kill to survive
Everything I've seen was a lie
I'm not ready to die, I love myself
I said, everything that I've seen was a lie
I'm not ready to die, I love myself
Break that mental
You know we are free now man
Break that, uh, mental blockage
Don't think too hard, free your mind
Courtesy of the wise YouTuber chickenwityamz:
"This dude just addressed Self hatred(which could explain black women rocking blonde weaves, black men living life with no meaning and taking it out on society), ethnic inequality, racism in the media, obstruction of history of blacks in America in one song. I can't think of any artist in the past decade that even attempted to talk these issues. People cling to the ignorance but they slept on this song."
Word, chick. Word.

The Pocono Mountain School Board has directed district administrators to draft a plan by early February outlining how it could further consolidate schools.
The Pocono Mountain School Board has directed district administrators to draft a plan by early February outlining how it could further consolidate schools.
Any plan introduced at the Feb. 6 meeting would not be final, and some board members objected to even commissioning such a study.
"We're still reeling from the changes of last year," board member Dorothy Sirolly said. "Just because a building is at 90 percent capacity, doesn't mean we have to fill it to 100."
No schools were identified as targets for possible closure, but Sirolly and another board member, John H. Davis, unprompted, said how much they believed in "community," or stand-alone, schools.
There are only three community schools left in the district — Barrett Elementary Center in Cresco, Pocono Elementary Center in Tannersville and Tobyhanna Elementary Center in Pocono Pines. All of the other schools are on campuses with at least one other school.
Two years ago, the district proposed closing Barrett Elementary Center, but later decided against it.
The district introduced a preliminary budget that included no tax increase. However, some board members wanted to dig deeper, especially with a few measures that went unfunded, like a $1.5 million roof repair at the East High School.
Board member Ricky Smith was the first to suggest looking into further school consolidation. The district has closed four schools in two years, with three of them currently up for sale.
Smith's request came after an enrollment report that showed the district has lost 126 students since Oct. 1. That continues a trend that could result in the district losing more than a quarter of its enrollment between 2006 and 2018, according to district projections.
"I'm looking at the enrollment report, and it certainly seems like we could do more (consolidation)," Smith said.
He said he brought up the possibility of closures now because of the legal timeline related to closing a school. The district would need to advertise and hold a public meeting about any consolidation plan, then have to vote on any closure by May.
"You have to start no later than February if you want to close a school by August," said Jeffrey Tucker, one of the board's solicitors.
Board member Ed Mayotte said the district remains in dangerous territory even without a tax increase for the 2013-14 school year.
He cited the declining enrollment and the increasing pension costs as potential catastrophes to the financial future of the district and its taxpayers.
He said the pension costs project to take up 35 percent of the district's budget by 2018.
"Mathematically, I don't know how we're going to get there," he said. "It's just very, very sad, but I don't know what else we can do about it."
Board member George Strunk commended Smith for calling for further investigation into what will surely be a controversial topic while commending the district's administration for coming up with a fiscally responsible plan.
"Sometimes, (a zero tax increase) isn't good enough," he said.

In the meantime, I am back on the job, full steam ahead. Jennifer dreamed up a gorgeous purse, and I am in the process of putting it in pattern form.
Here is the prototype, based on her original design. This has been my out-and-about purse for the last month or so, and I have gotten so many compliments! Even though I'm usually wearing jeans or leggings, this purse makes me feel dressed up and girlie. All I need is this purse and a little lipstick, and I am ready to head out the door!
Of course, we couldn't just have one size or finishing option (this is a Sis Boom/Scientific Seamstress pattern after all), so we came up with some variations. To get some idea of the scale, I photoed the different version on my dress form, Bessie (who actually stays clothed these days since we have strangers going in and out of the house).
This is the "mini" version. It would be perfect for a little girl, or even as a big girl's evening bag. On this one, I finished the ruffles with narrow, double-folded hems.
Here is the original again. The ruffles are finished with a quick rolled hem from the serger. I really love the mustard/turquoise combo. Surprisingly, it matches pretty much everything I wear! I trimmed it with a bit of vintage lace. It really "pops" on the top band. You could substitute gorgeous ribbon, rick-rack, etc.
And now for my dream tote! I picked some of my fave fabrics from Jen's lines and mixed and matched for this one. The top band is denim embellished with decorator's gimp, and it is just begging for a vintage rhinestone brooch (note to self...go antiquing once we move to the country). The ruffles are actually folded strips, so no edge finishing necessary. It takes a little more fabric this way, but it is quick and so crisp-looking.

Raw and exposed with a distinct rural Romanticism, UllmayerSylvester Architects' updated version of the terrace house, called the Whatcotts Yard or 'In-between' project, is best known as an independent award-winning collaboration with Annalie Riches and Barti Garibaldo. The project, located in Whatcotts Yard, Stoke Newington won several awards in 2004 for its unique and direct approach to building sustainable homes. Since then, Silvia Ullmayer and Allan Sylvester opened their practice and have since gone on to work on innovative projects such as The New Summerhouse and Minihome Nursery, both in Hackney, London.
The Whatcotts Yard project was undertaken between 2001 – 2004 when the group met at what is now the London Metropolitan University. After deciding to build themselves a home, it took them another year to find a suitable site, and then two more years to get planning permission, design and then fully complete the build.
Choosing sustainable materials, the homes were constructed from Parallam laminated timber posts and beams. The homes also include used sheep wool and recycled newspaper for insulation, as well as a green roof planted with sedum. Annalie Riches told design journalist Caroline Roux in a Guardian interview: "It's supposed to protect the roof felt from sun damage, and in time it will form its own ecosystem. The first summer we were here [2002] it changed color, too, it was covered with so many ladybirds."
High ceilings and expansive room left use of the interior spaces up to the imagination. Accordingly, each of the three homes was customized with different priorities in mind. Barti Garibaldo's focus was on a large kitchen area to entertain, and a desire to have a studio leading out to the garden, while Silvia Ullmayer's kitchen has an urban outlook. Annalie Riches opted to restrict her metropolitan view from the kitchen preferring to look at nature while cooking, and has even allowed for a double height space between the ground and first floor to hang her trapeze in her home.
Unlike many architects, UllmayerSylvester Architects have developed a design philosophy based on hands-on, direct experience in the pursuit of thoughtful and well-executed design. The Whatcotts Yard project serves as an appropriate example of these principles. As a self-built home, simple and functional design is at its core, but as these re-invented terrace houses prove, simple does not exclude the possibility of hosting quite a few eco-friendly attributes.
"It is a reminder of the value of direct architectural design – in contrast to the work of some architects who try too hard to be too clever with quotes, gambits and tricks." (AJ First Building Award, Judges Summary)

11:30 AM PT -- Sources connected with Eva tell us, it's no big deal ... several cast members of her TV show have been crashing at her house because they don't have somewhere to stay in L.A..
Eva Longoria insists she's not dating "Ready for Love" bachelor Ernesto Arguello -- but the two are definitely LIVING TOGETHER ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us ... Ernesto -- a 33-year-old successful civil and architectural engineer -- has been crashing at Eva's L.A. pad recently.
We also know ... Eva and Ernesto have been hitting the town together too -- hitting up Chateau Marmont on the Sunset Strip on Sunday night ... and the exclusive Soho House on Monday.
Despite the connection, Eva is adamant they're just friends -- and just yesterday she tweeted, "Sorry @ernestoarguello is NOT dating me."
But wait, there's MORE -- we also know Ernesto ain't the only dude from her dating show crashing at her house ... Tim Lopez (the singer from Plain White T's) has also moved in.
Answer the question ...

The Obvious Benefits of a Very High Carb Diet
The secrets to her success? Extremely dedicated parents and grandmother who nurture her talents; thousands of hours of grueling practice; and most importantly, a diet very high in carbs. Speaking of high carb diets, after Ali's video I've posted a fun little pasta making/Olympic tribute video I did last year.
By the way, she's in the foreground and her routine doesn't start immediately, but be patient, it's worth the wait! After she becomes a famous Olympian, you can say, "I remember watching her on her uncle's food blog a few years ago." Enjoy!

Cosmopolitan pupils from Heath Primary School, in Chesterfield, have been transported via a new online field-trip to the Italian countryside and the rice fields of India as part of a scheme to teach them about the origins of food.
The technology, pioneered in the US, is being brought to UK schoolchildren and has been created by Tesco and teachers to using Google+ technology as part of the retailer's Eat Happy Project.
It allows children to learn about food by talking to food growers and producers in the UK and thousands of miles away from their own classroom.
The first trips took place this month and transported children to Italy to talk to pasta producer Giuseppe Di Martino in Naples.

Arctic's stylish new Trinity powered HTPC
Subject: Systems | August 31, 2012 - 02:56 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: trinity, SFF, htpc, Arctic MC101, amd, a10-4600m
There is a lot to like about the Arctic MC101 HTPC, from the brushed aluminium exterior to the Trinity based quad core A10-4600M and HD7660M graphics core that comes with the A10. Bjorn3D thought it was rather strange that the system ships without a remote control but thankfully it does have an IR sensor so a Windows Media Centre type remote will work perfectly. Connectivity is quite good, USB 3.0, combo USB 2.0/eSATA port, a headphone jack and a 4-in-1 memory card reader, along the front and sides. The back panel has even more, TV antenna, an audio out port, a line-in jack, SPDIF audio out, 4 USB 2.0 ports, two more USB 3.0 ports, HDMI-out and an ethernet port. At ~$750 it will set you back a bit to purchase and after reading Bjorn3D's review you may be willing to spend it.
"Arctic's latest home entertainment system user an AMD A10-4600M APU, bringing a powerful combination of CPU and GPU in a tiny little box. Packed with WiFi, TV Tuner, 8GB RAM, and 1TB of storage, the MC101 brings us plenty of power for our media needs and is also able to deliver decent gaming performance."
Here are some more Systems articles from around the web:

Tiny mistake in the title i think ;)

It's kind of interesting to note the items you come across on the Internet while searching for other things.
For instance, while doing research on pesticides I ran across an article by John Stossel of "20/20" TV fame. You might know Stossel — he's the in-your-face reporter who has a way of boiling down controversies into their essential ingredients and then confronting the interviewee with simple straight talk and direct questions. He's also a New York Times best-selling author who has a popular book out called "Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity."
It was the excerpts from the book that I found fascinating, especially the segment about myths dealing with pesticides. In one portion there's an interview with Dr. Bruce Ames, who is a UC Berkeley professor of biochemistry and molecular biology and director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Center. This seemed rather odd to me because most people attending this liberal enclave are perceived to be staunch environmentalists who would like nothing better than to see pesticides banished entirely from Mother Earth.
Anyway, Ames, who invented the test that first frightened people in the 1970s when he raised alarms by revealing there were carcinogens in hair dye, and in the flame retardants in children's pajamas, was instrumental in getting these chemicals removed from store shelves. The Ames Test proved successful, and is one of the standards used today to discover if a substance is carcinogenic.
Stossel bluntly asked him: "Do pesticides in food cause cancer and other diseases?" His response: "Practically everything in the supermarket, if you really look at it at the parts per billion level, would have carcinogens. Vegetables are good for you, yet vegetables make toxic chemicals to keep off insects, so every vegetable is 5 percent of its weight in toxic chemicals. These are nature's pesticides. Celery, alfalfa sprouts, and mushrooms are just chock-full of carcinogens."
The dialogue then segued into whether organic produce is healthier than conventional produce, which quickly got a resounding "no" from the Berkeley scientist.
"Absolutely not, because the amount of manmade pesticide residues people are eating are actually trivial and very, very tiny amounts. We get more carcinogens in a cup of coffee than we do in all the pesticide residues you eat in a day."
To put the risk into perspective, Ames and his staff analyzed the results of every cancer test done on rats and mice. By comparing the dose that gave the rodents cancer to the typical exposure people get, they came up with a ranking of the danger. Pesticides such as DDT and EDB came out much lower than herb tea, peanut butter, alcohol, and mushrooms.
The mention of DDT got me thinking about another book, "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson, which unleashed a firestorm of criticism in 1962 against DDT and chemicals in general. But it's a myth that DDT causes cancer. Inhabitants of poor countries have paid the price for this falsehood that has been amplified by media hysteria that painted DDT as the "Killer Chemical."
DDT is effective against malaria. The World Health Organization has recommended wider use of it to battle the deadly disease. In Uganda alone, malaria is killing as many as a million people a year, according to Ugandan Health Minister Jim Muhwezi. Think of it: millions are dying because the media gets it wrong.
Stossel points out that in the 1950s tons of DDT were sprayed indiscriminately in the United States. Despite the overuse, there was no surge in cancer or any other human injury. Scientists found no evidence that spraying DDT seriously hurt people. It did cause some harm: It threatened bird populations by thinning the shells of their eggs. But if sprayed on the walls of an African hut, a small amount will keep mosquitoes at bay for six months. That translates into a powerful malaria fighter. But today DDT is not funded by the U.S. to fight malaria and is rarely used because environmentalists' demonization of it causes others to avoid it.
That frustrates Dr. Amir Attaran, who researched the issue at Harvard University and gave this quote to Stossel: "If it's DDT, it must be awful. And that's fine if you're a rich white environmentalist. It's not so fine if you're a poor black kid who is about to lose his life from malaria."
I have a few frustrations and thoughts of my own about pesticide myths.
Concerning the light brown apple moth that is currently inflicting damage to more than 250 varieties on plants throughout California, at a cost in the millions, the aerial spraying of the chemical pheromone simply confuses male moths to keep them from locating a mate, thereby eliminating their ability to reproduce. Besides federal and California environmental protection agencies, its usage has also been endorsed by the California Certified Organic Farmers group, one of the oldest and largest organic certification agencies in North America. Pheromones are simply not a threat to humans.
On the subject of West Nile virus, the EPA has estimated the exposure and risks to both adults and children posed by ultra-low volume applications of the insecticides malathion and naled are minimal to human health and the environment. For all scenarios considered, exposures ranged from 100 to 10,000 times below an amount of pesticide that might pose a health concern.
I believe the following quote by Allen James, president of RISE (Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment), hits the nail on the head: "The reality is that the risk posed by West Nile virus is much greater than any risk associated with mosquito-control pesticides. The risks associated with proper use of pesticides are so low one cannot document any lasting effects. There are no known deaths from spraying these products. The same cannot be said for West Nile virus, which has affected more than 13,000 people and killed more than 500 in the U.S. since 2002."
Returning to Stossel's book, "Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity," it is worth a read. It's guaranteed to open your eyes to the many half-truths, untruths and rumors that have become ingrained as fact in our culture. It also exposes and dispels many of the crusades spearheaded by environmentalist groups while concurrently blaming the media for getting caught up in the moment and failing to rely on sound science to balance their reporting.

If Facebook is where you share with friends, and LinkedIn is for professional contacts, then Matt Mahan wants Causes to be the online place to engage in civic life.
Causes was one of the first apps on Facebook, launched in 2007 by Sean Parker, the online entrepreneur, and Joe Green, a college roommate of Mark Zuckerberg. The idea was to help Facebook users enlist support for their favorite issues. Backers hoped for a modest profit from things like donation-processing fees, but the app lost steam and the founders turned to other efforts.
Mahan became CEO in 2012 and began an overhaul that led to a re-launch last fall. San Francisco-based Causes is now a free-standing social network where users can trumpet the political and social issues they care about, share information and enlist others in activist campaigns. Mahan, who grew up in Watsonville and shared a Harvard dorm with Zuckerberg, discussed the new Causes in this interview, edited for clarity and length.
Q: When you re-launched Causes, you wrote a blog post that said: "Online engagement for social good is broken." What did you mean?
A: We helped invent online "clicktivism," which is kind of a derogatory term for the idea that people click a lot of buttons to sign petitions or express support but very little impact happens. I don't mean to bash something that was really new and innovative at the time. But we're just scratching the surface.
Now we're building a network dedicated to helping people express what they care about, connect with like-minded people and take meaningful action. (For example,) we're taking the standard online petition and turning it into a smart petition that automatically targets elected officials, brings in voting information and bridges to offline activity such as an events tool or one-click phone calls to elected officials.
Q: Why did you decide to operate separately from Facebook?
A: Facebook is a great platform to find people and help them communicate. We'll continue to be integrated with Facebook. But it's more of a space to share key moments in your life with people you're close with. A lot of people want to declare their values and get involved in creating change, but they don't want to be the crazy uncle who's always going on about politics at the dinner table. We're offering a separate place where people want to talk about issues.
Q: How many people use Causes now?
A: We see around 5 million monthly active users. Since September, we've had more than 50 million supporter connections formed. These are between people and other like-minded people or organizations, saying, "I support what you do and you can call on me." That's a bond we believe is stronger than a like on Facebook or a follow on Twitter.
Q: But if you're focusing on the people who want to be more active, rather than just click to sign a petition, doesn't that limit you to a smaller audience?
A: Great question. The thing we've done best is helping people pull in other friends, and understand that their ability to have an impact doesn't stop with what they do; it's their ability to pull in others they know. Users are seeing there's more to do (on the site), more content. The next step is helping people activate their personal networks, people who may take action because their friend or colleague asks them to.
Q: How do you make money, and are you profitable?
A: We're not yet at the break-even point, but we make money primarily by helping companies market their corporate social responsibility programs. We work with foundations and companies like AT&T and Toyota to highlight their programs and partners. We allow them to run ads and reach an audience in a transparent way. We don't take a cut of donations and we don't sell people's email addresses.
Q: Won't some activists be wary or even turned off by corporate messages?
A: We haven't seen a backlash. We're a neutral platform. We'll charge companies (fees for their programs), but we won't stop anybody from launching a campaign that targets a corporation. We've served from left to right; we've had companies simultaneously targeted by activists and also supported by others who like what they're doing.
Q: You lived in Mark Zuckerberg's dorm when Facebook launched 10 years ago. Did you have any idea of what it would become?
A: I ran the first political campaign that leveraged Facebook. When I decided to run for student body president, I asked Mark if I could get my Facebook friends' list in the form of a spreadsheet, which I used to target dorms that had people who had connections to friends of mine. I ended up beating someone who was taller, better-looking and more popular than I was. So I was impressed with the potential of social media to influence democracy. But I don't think any of us fully realized how transformative social media would be — except maybe Mark.

...but not yet blogged.
There's some knitting projects that I've completed in the last couple months that I just haven't gotten around to posting. So I'm going to do that now.
I made this cowl/scarf/scrunchie thingy for Amy's birthday. I used Knit Picks Gloss and Hannah Silk Ribbon. I love it, Amy loves it. Yay!
For Christmas, I knitted my husband gloves. I used Knitty's Cigar pattern but made all the fingers full length and made a button hole in the first finger and thumb so he can use them without taking the gloves off. I used Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool.
My husband gave me a Kindle for Christmas and my sons got me Malabrigo. Living the life, I tell you! I made this lovely Kindle cozy out of Malabrigo Worsted Amoroso. I altered the pattern a bit to include a flap and buttons.
My son has a Build A Bear bunny he named Tucker. Tucker is his best friend and when it snowed here awhile back, my son was very concerned that Tucker did not have anything to keep him warm. So for Christmas, "Santa" knitted Tucker a sweater. I used scrap Cascade 220 yarn.

perfect balance between meeting space and room for a nice reception. The staff
was excellent to work with and went above and beyond to provide quality service
to us."
