Modified Mustangs & FordsHow To Paint Body
Window Glass Install - High Class Glass
JR Distributor International can ship new, high-quality reproduction glass right to your door
For those who are building and restoring vintage Fords, Mercurys, and Lincolns, one of the toughest tasks has always been finding reproduction or new-old-stock glass to complete a restoration project. Sometimes, you hit pay dirt on eBay or the classifieds. Other times, you happen to be at the right place at the right time and there it is. But what about all those scratches? JR Distributor International wants to take the fuss out of your search for vintage Ford auto glass. It stocks a huge selection of glass for a wide variety of vintage Fords including Mustang, Falcon, Fairlane, Torino, Cougar, and a host of other Ford nameplates.
Paul Gammarino of Mustangs & Fast Fords OC in Santa Ana, California, invited us in to his shop to witness the wrap up of the company's showroom project, a '66 Mustang fastback. Final project wrap up includes the installation of window glass on all four sides. MFFOC decided to go with tinted glass from JR Distributor International, which conforms to the original factory window glass and fits like a glove. When it comes to classic Mustangs, JRD has it in three different forms—clear, tinted, and smoked, so no one knows what you're doing in there while you're cruising the drag.
In this article, we'll show you the new glass from JR Distributor International, and how to install the windshield and backlite without making a too much of a mess. If you've ever used non-curing windshield sealer before, you understand what we're talking about. It is the nastiest goop you've ever worked with, but it works. Used properly, it seals very well and will last for years.
Wing windows and side glass are easier to replace, and forgo the mess. We get asked a lot what to use. It is best to use window glass butyl seal tape available at nearly any auto body supply or glass shop. Use either soapy water or mineral spirits for lubrication. When it dries, you will have secure window glass ready for operation.

The last Manchester United's supporters saw of Peter Crouch before he disappeared into the tunnel was of him gloatingly clenching his fist towards the away end. Stoke City had waited a long time to get even a solitary point from these opponents – 27 years to be precise. They aspire to some kind of meaningful rivalry with the Old Trafford club and it was an orchestra of celebratory car horns on Sir Stanley Matthews Way.
For United their winning start to the league season is over and they will want to shake it out of their system quickly. They play Basel in the Champions League on Tuesday followed by another home game, against Norwich City, on Saturday. It is, in other words, not the worst time for Wayne Rooney to be missing.
Rooney's diagnosis of the injury he suffered in training on Friday was that he may yet face Basel but not many sportsmen recover from hamstring strains, even mild ones, within four days.
Sir Alex Ferguson said he did not expect Rooney to be involved in at least two matches, which has implications for England's game in Montenegro on Friday week. In the meantime it has been politely pointed out to Rooney it would be better for his wife, Coleen, not to furnish United's opponents with advance team news. Rooney's absence was no particular surprise to Stoke after she announced via Twitter on Friday night that they were at home watching a Beyoncé DVD. The rest of the United team were at their hotel.
Stoke have taken five points from their games against Chelsea, Liverpool and United but their tactic, contrary to popular belief, does not revolve around lumping rudimentary up-and-unders forward. They rely on the delivery of two out-and-out wingers and their determination to win headers and second balls inside the penalty area, with Crouch tall and awkward enough to make a nuisance of himself while at the same time pricking Ferguson's temper on the touchline.
"He fouls all the time," the United manager grizzled. "He gets off with it because of his height but he jumps on top of defenders all the time. He has been doing that for a long time."
Stoke had certainly set out to make it a difficult experience for David de Gea in United's goal although the 20-year-old acquitted himself well, even if he is still learning what it takes to be in control of his penalty area. The goal came from a routine corner and header but most of the fault should be apportioned to Phil Jones for allowing Crouch to elude him.
De Gea is gradually looking more confident and, in turn, his team-mates seem more confident in him. "We showed him plenty of videos and there was a lot of preparation going into the game, showing him what to expect," Darren Fletcher said. "They bombard you with balls into the box, set pieces and corners but he dealt with it well."
With United already missing Nemanja Vidic, Ferguson felt his defence missed the height of Jonny Evans, who hurt a foot in the same Friday session as Rooney and pulled out during the warm-up. Michael Carrick was also injured on Friday – "a nightmare session," Ferguson reflected – and Javier Hernández's early departure means United have nine players either ruled out or doubtful for the Basel match. Even discounting Owen Hargreaves's comments last week, these are challenging times for the club's medical staff.
Hernández suffered a dead leg in the moment of controversy, barely three minutes in, when he ran clear only for Jonathan Woodgate to make a recovering tackle from behind before the goalkeeper Asmir Begovic collided with United's striker from the opposite direction. It was a difficult decision that has divided opinion. Woodgate's outstretched boot did connect with the ball but he also led with a forearm into Hernández's back.
A penalty would have meant a red card and Ferguson's assessment was that the referee, Peter Walton, was reluctant to make such a big decision so early. If true, it does not say much for Walton's officiating, though we will probably never know for certain given that the Premier League policy is for the men in the middle to say little.
In Rooney's absence Nani was United's most penetrative player, his confidence epitomised by the way he waltzed through Stoke's defence to slide a left-foot shot past Begovic for the opening goal. Stoke, though, were the better side in the second half and will reflect on that moment, at 1-1, when Crouch's close-range volley struck an unknowing De Gea and ricocheted over the bar.
United, similarly, will wonder how Ryan Giggs could be so wasteful when presented with a late chance to extend United's winning run to six league matches and put them back on course to equal or beat Ron Atkinson's record from the 1985-86 campaign.
There are not many things Atkinson has over Ferguson but the team of Whiteside, McGrath, Robson et al won their first 10 league games that season. All very impressive until one considers they won only nine of the last 27 and finished fourth. The current team, one suspects, will have greater staying power.

Plastic has made a lot of things possible in the past century, proving so durable and versatile that people were soon taking it everywhere with them. In fact, there's a good chance you have some plastic in you right now.
That's because a chemical called bisphenol-A, or BPA, seeps out of countless plastic products and ends up in us — more than 90 percent of Americans have the manmade compound in their urine, according to one CDC study. And due to BPA's knack for wreaking havoc with hormones, many health experts are now worried plastic might be making too many things possible.
BPA belongs to a broad group of substances known as "endocrine disruptors," which can cause early puberty in mice, sex changes in fish and a wide range of other animal ailments. That's raised red flags about human health risks, but while BPA and other endocrine disruptors have done some terrible things to lab rats over the years, studies showing similar effects in people are still too sparse to prove a connection.
"That's the real dilemma of the field right now," says Jerry Heindel, health science administrator for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. "We're desperately trying to get that human data."
Heindel helped launch a major BPA research project in October to do just that, boosted by $14 million in federal stimulus money. It's part of a broader, $30 million investigation the NIEHS will conduct over the next two years, which may be one reason the Food and Drug Administration recently extended a self-imposed Nov. 30 deadline for updating its BPA policy. The FDA maintains that BPA is safe at normal doses, and while it said last week that a policy review "will be forthcoming," that may not be until at least 2011.
Meanwhile, BPA is still widely produced and used around the world. Global production capacity was more than 5 million metric tons in 2008, but since companies don't have to disclose whether their products contain it, consumers are often left in the dark. Items labeled "BPA-free" sometimes aren't — as demonstrated recently by SIGG and Gaiam water bottles — and most plastic products don't mention it on their packaging at all. Even some cash-register receipts are loaded with BPA that may rub off onto people's skin.
Until scientists and lawmakers figure out BPA's true risks and plan a response, a process that could take years, here's a breakdown of what we do know about BPA, and what you can do to avoid potential dangers:
What is BPA?
BPA is a plastic-stiffening chemical that's fused to other simple compounds, called "monomers," to form a plastic polymer. It was invented in the 1890s and has been a staple of the plastics industry since the 1960s, when it first received FDA approval. The physical properties it gives to plastics made it a miracle material, and that usefulness has led some industry groups to oppose efforts to regulate it.
In addition to its plasticizing abilities, however, BPA can also easily seep out of plastic items, due to the relatively weak chemical connections, called ester bonds, that link it with its fellow monomers.
"You can break ester bonds with heat, an acid or a base," Heindel says. "At first, people didn't think [BPA] would come out, but with that kind of bond it makes sense."
Is it dangerous?
Aside from its loose grip, the main problem with BPA is that it's a synthetic female hormone. It often winds up bonding with some animals' estrogen receptors, tricking them into producing estrogen-like reactions such as starting puberty in females or shrinking reproductive organs in males.
While BPA can do damage to full-grown lab rats — and might have similar effects on adult humans — it only stays in the body for a few hours, and the effects don't necessarily linger. The greatest area of concern right now is for young people, especially developing children and fetuses.
"In adults, you have exposure and effect, and if you take the exposure away then the effect goes away," Heidel says. "But in child development, exposure can affect what we call the 'programming' — we get effects at lower doses and effects that last a lifetime."
That can be explained, Heidel adds, by a relatively new field of science called epigenetics. It focuses on certain genes whose entire job seems to be turning other genes on and off, and they play a major role in managing the genetic switchboard that governs childhood growth and development. If endocrine disruptors throw off a few hormones during this sensitive window, the outcome could be much worse than from equivalent exposure as an adult.
Aside from the slew of animal health problems BPA can cause, it has been directly linked to a few in humans, such as increased aggression in young girls or sexual dysfunction in adult men. But one of BPA's most troubling side effects is its tendency to cause earlier puberty and breast development in female mice: Both are precursors to breast cancer in humans, and both are also inexplicably happening to the U.S. public.
The average age of American girls' first period dropped from 17 years to 13 years between 1800 and 1950, a fall that can largely be explained by nutritional improvements. But many say the age has continued slipping, going down by another few months in the last four decades. It's now at about 12 years, but many pediatricians report seeing an increase in girls reaching puberty at 8 or younger. Breast development is occurring at younger ages, too — as much as two years younger than it was 40 years ago, according to the Breast Cancer Fund.
U.S. breast cancer rates also rose steeply over the past century — although they've dipped slightly in recent years — and while about 5 to 10 percent of all cases are linked to family history, the rest are increasingly being blamed on environmental toxins. At a breast cancer symposium last month in New York, Mount Sinai School of Medicine assistant clinical professor Alisan Goldfarb told attendees that "breast cancer is made, not born," echoing a growing sentiment among many in her field. The National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society point out that environmental factors are still unproven as breast cancer risks, but the idea is gaining traction amid mounting evidence.
The breast cancer issue is one example of both the potentially devastating effects BPA might have, and the gaping lack of information on whether or not it actually has them.
"Humans are exposed, and we know the level of exposure," Heidel says. "We know children have higher levels of exposure. We know in animal studies, of levels that children are exposed to, that it can cause all sorts of diseases. But we don't have the human data to show whether it causes those diseases in children."
Where is it coming from?
BPA is mainly used in one of two ways: to make epoxy resins like the coatings inside tin food cans and aluminum water bottles, or to make hard polycarbonate plastics like the material in water-cooler jugs and baby bottles.
Products containing epoxy resins can be difficult to identify, since few canned foods offer clues on their packaging. In an article this month about the dangers of BPA in tin cans, Consumer Reports Magazine recounts finding the chemical in almost all 19 of the brand-name products it tested, with the highest levels in Del Monte Green Beans, Progresso Vegetable Soup and Campbell's Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup. Just one serving of the canned vegetable soup could deliver about double the dose of BPA that the FDA considers typical daily exposure, according to Consumer Reports.
Opting for fresh or frozen food, instead of canned, is one way to avoid BPA from epoxy resins. But boycotting all hard plastic items is a bigger undertaking, since polycarbonate polymers are found in a wider variety of items than epoxy resins. They are at least easier to spot, however, thanks to the numbered recycling codes usually featured underneath.
The No. 7 recycling symbol — representing the coding system's "Other" category — includes polycarbonate, which makes it the main symbol to avoid for BPA-conscious consumers. Items bearing the 3 and 6 symbols, while not necessarily brimming with BPA, are also often listed as plastics to avoid since they contain phthalates, a family of napthalene derivatives that are also believed to have hormone-disrupting abilities. Items with the 1, 2, 4 and 5 symbols are generally considered the "safe plastics."
The FDA and other federal agencies don't offer much advice on BPA since they're still unsure of its safety, but a good rule of thumb for anyone concerned about BPA is to use less canned food and avoid putting hot food into hard plastic containers. That includes microwaving leftovers in them, since the heat can break BPA's ester bonds and send the toxin cascading into your casserole.
But, Heidel adds, such precautions might still not be enough. Even in studies of people who hadn't eaten for up to 12 hours — meaning any BPA they got from food should have already left their bodies — BPA was still prevalent in their urine. Some exposure may come from cash register receipts, about half of which are "loaded with BPA," Heidel says, but there are potential sources all around us. BPA is used in a wide array of plastic products, from CDs and sunglasses to bike helmets and bulletproof materials, and while Heidel says we're clearly being exposed from something in our environment, there's just too little evidence to know where exactly it's coming from.
"There's much higher exposure to humans than we originally thought," Heidel says. "It's coming from somewhere besides just food."

A nice old fashioned cookie, one that I make with butter (shortening has no place in my home!) and unsweetened coconut.
May 18, 2016
These were the bomb I added more butter and more flower and use my thumb to make the indention and just put more batter on top and smooth them over the jam I will definitely make this again really awesome
Jul 17, 2012
I have made these cookies 3 times now -once with butter flavored shortening, which I do not recommend; the flavor seemed to be off.Also, since the batter is so sticky I kept my hands wet and molded the cookies by hand that way. Much easier and didn't seem to effect the integrity of the cookie.These are amazing and I always get requests for more.
Dec 24, 2011
This recipe is amazing! I found that allowing the dough to rest and marry made assembly much easier. Also, instead of using the wooden spoon, I used a baby spoon to create the nest and add the perfect amount of preserves. This is definitely a new favorite!
Dec 15, 2011
I just reduced the water to approximately 1/8 cup. The batter was still sticky, but that helps in sealing the extra dough over the jam. You do need to make a rather large well for 1/2 teasp. jam. Then, I flattened some of the reserved dough in my hand to make a cap for the cookies and just pressed on the edges to seal. They turned out great! I got 34 cookies.
Oct 9, 2011
These were very messy to make but worth the effort. I'll make again for sure.
Aug 15, 2011
Love these cookies. It took a couple of cookies to get the hang of filling and shaping but once I did it went quickly. This is a keeper.
Jun 29, 2011
Great tasting cookie, the coconut and raspberry are so good together. I just couldn't figure out how to get the dough to roll back into balls with the jam in. Simply put a dab of dough over the jam and baked... didn't look as nice but tasted excellent. Will try again and see if I can master them.
Apr 29, 2011
I substituted coconut oil for the shortening and these came out amazing! My family loved them! The dough was a bit soft, but not impossible to handle.
Apr 27, 2011
Very good cookies! After reading all the reviews I reduced water to 1/8 cup, used butter and doubled almond extract. I also put the dough to fridge for 30 min before shaping the cookies and had no problems with stickyness- they came out nice, almost ball shaped cookies with soft raspberry centers...delicious!

Analyzing how a given opinion has been impacted by subsequent decisions is an essential part of legal research. Consequently, the work of the Free Law movement cannot stop with making opinions freely available: a free and robust citator is also needed.
A gargantuan effort will be required to build (and continually update) such a citator. The newly launched WeCite Project, co-sponsored by the Stanford Center for Legal Informatics and the free legal research platform Casetext, aims to bring the win-win power of crowdsourcing to the task. Along with the traditional crowdsourcing strategy of enabling a community of like-minded people to easily contribute, the WeCite Project is also giving law schools the unique opportunity to do their fair share in another win-win way: students learn about citators and citation analysis; the database grows. Already a number of advanced legal research classes have already participated and our class this spring will join the crowd.
The Columbia Society for Law, Science and Technology is hosting a WeCite Event at Columbia Law School on March 26, 2014 (see details and RSVP here: https://casetext.com/wecite/event). Any and all who are passionate about legal research and/or equal access to the law are invited to attend. Those who cannot make it to New York can also participate remotely.
Importantly, any and all citator entries created under the WeCite Project ("wecites") are public domain under a Creative Commons SA license. Casetext will also be creating an API to allow anyone to bulk download wecites.
The beauty of crowdsourcing is that small contributions from individuals can aggregate into something magnificent. For those who are interesting in pitching in, instructions can be found here: https://casetext.com/wecite

CARSON, Calif. (Tuesday, September 18, 2012) – The LA Galaxy will host Alumni Night on Saturday, September 22 when the club hosts Toronto FC at The Home Depot Center. Highlighting the night will be the induction of the club's 2002 MLS Cup winning squad to the club's Wall of Legends, prior to the game. In addition to the induction ceremony, the club will hold an Alumni Game on the stadium field starting at 5:30 p.m.
The Galaxy won the first of their three MLS Cup championships in 2002, defeating the New England Revolution 1-0 in extratime of MLS Cup 2002, thanks to a Golden Goal from Carlos Ruiz. Ruiz, who won the MLS Cup MVP for his goal scoring heroics that day at Gillette Stadium, was also the MLS MVP that season, scoring a club record 24 goals before adding eight more in the MLS Cup Playoffs.
Among those who are scheduled to be in attendance from the 2002 team are Mauricio Cienfuegos, Cobi Jones and Alexi Lalas, who each wore the captain's armband at different points during the season, as well as Isaias Bardales Jr., Alex Bengard, Simon Elliott, Adam Frye, Gavin Glinton and Jesus Ochoa, all of whom were members of the 2002 MLS Cup winning side. That group will then be joined by a number of former Galaxy greats such as Dan Calichman, Paul Caligiuri, Chris Klein, Eddie Lewis, Clint Mathis and Danny Pena and many others to form an Alumni Team that will be coached by Ralph Perez, an assistant coach on the 2002 squad.
Starting at 5:30 p.m., the Alumni Team, who will be wearing replicas of the club's 2002 jersey, will take on a team of Galaxy Academy players in a 40-minute game on the stadium field at The Home Depot Center. Following the game, all of the alumni players will then head to SoccerFest where they will sign autographs for fans, who will also have the chance to take a picture with all three of the club's MLS Cup trophies. Fans will also have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets to win autographed Alumni Game t-shirts and bid on a number of signed items from the 2002 season at the LA Galaxy Foundation booth.
All of the alumni in attendance will also be recognized on the field at halftime of Saturday night's game, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m. and is presented by Time Warner Cable SportsNet and Time Warner Cable Deportes.
Saturday will also serve as the official launch of the Galaxy's new Alumni Association, which will provide the opportunity for former players, coaches and administrative staff to remain actively involved with the club while promoting the sport of soccer. Fans can learn more about the Alumni Association by visiting www.lagalaxy.com/alumni.

Welcome to my website - Hemery family history and Jersey photographersJuly 20th, 2007
Hi, my family originates from the Island of Jersey in the Channel Islands, although I now live in England.
I wanted to make this website to share some of my research.
I am researching my own family tree, the Hemery family of Jersey. (under construction - see below for the start)
I am researching the photographers and photographic studios of Jersey, mainly from the Victorian era, which should help date old photos, of use to geneaologists and historians. (see separate pages)
I am compiling a bibliography of Jersey up to 1945. (see separate page)
I hope you will find something of interest.
Kind regards, Richard Hemery

Roll up, roll up, for Cosmetic Candy's new series, Beauty Court.
All you badly behaved cosmetics will have no where to hide, now that I can take you to court! (suggestions for offenders are also welcome).
This week we are dealing with Asian beauty products that have have strange names which have been sound like they have been conjured up by a copywriter on acid.
We are not talking about Engrish or dialect induced spelling mistakes (a common one – Lip Gross instead of Lip Gloss).
We are talking about daft names – period.
(I am not picking on Asian products by the way – obviously there are silly make up names from all over the world – in English, in French, in Swahili…I will weed them all out for future posts…but maybe not in Swahili.)
Here are my 5 quick picks…
Offender: Majolica Majorca (Japan)
Product: Autumn 2009 Range
When I reviewed this dark and pretty range from Majolica Majorca, reader MandyP remarked, "Don't you mean fairly sadistic?". Mandy is so funny!
I am guessing that the dominatrix whip-clad model is supposed to be as pretty as a fairy but also with a dark side – hence the sadistic. Unfortunately, sadistic is also a good word to describe serial killers, animal torturers, Cheryl Cole's dress sense and so on.
Or maybe I need to open my mind – next time I am in a new group situation, and people are describing themselves as "Friendly", "Fun-Loving", "Funny", "Single", "Intelligent", I'll just whack them with my handbag and say, "Me? I'm fairly sadistic."2. Milk Screw
Offender: Etude House (Korea)
Product: Lip Tint/Balm
Put the word Screw into anything, and I'm going to start giggling uncontrollably like a 14 year old forced to write the word 'testicles' in biology class.
Milk Screw is a lip tint/balm from Etude House – it has a slightly creamy look to it, which is where the milk comes from – the screw….erm….I'm struggling here. I guess it has a ring to it.
That reminds me, remember Screw Ball ice creams?
Now there's a product that deserves to have the word Screw in its name!
(By the way I did buy this – review coming up!)
3. Brilliance Forming
Offender: VISEE (Japan)
Product: Eyeshadow Quad
Visee are a brand that make really nice eyeshadows and mascaras – so imagine my surprise (ok, I wasn't actually surprised) when they launched a range called 'Brilliance Forming'.
Wear this eyeshadow and you will see your brilliance forming. If I wear this eyeshadow to work every day this month, I should be the CEO before Christmas…
The truth is there is nothing wrong with this name, its just a bit silly.
Its something that should've been a line in My Fair Lady…Audrey Hepburn is playing the piano…she has magically graduated from playing Chopsticks to Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 overnight and Rex Harrison, looking slightly teary says to her, whilst she basks in the light…."Darling? Darling….do you hear that? Its your brilliance, forming."
4. Mango Jelly, Orange Biscuit, Maple Doughnut and Raspberry Macaroon.
Offender: Palty (Japan)
Product: Hair Dye
Japanese hair dyes are amazing by they way – I highly recommend them if you have trouble making hair colour stick, or you have trouble getting dye to show up on dark hair. But that aside…
Palty is a big player in the Japanese hair dye market. They are always bringing out new shades and I've noticed the newer ones have food themed names – Mango Jelly, Orange Biscuit, Maple Doughnut and Raspberry Macaroon.
I love maple doughnuts. I love mango jelly. I don't think I want hair the same colour as mango jelly though:
I don't want to tell someone my hair dye is called Orange Biscuit either, incase they start sniffing my hair or even worse, try to dunk it in their tea.
I like a bit of fun but I think something less food related and more descriptive when it comes to hair dye (ie. Black. Brown. Red. Yellow.) is more practical. After all, your mango jelly probably doesn't come out the same shade as my mango jelly.
5. Liptox
Offender: Lioele (Korea)
Product: Lip Gloss
Ok, ok, this one isn't that bad. It probably isn't bad at all – its just the word 'tox' makes me think of one thing only…'tocks':
Everytime I use this lip gloss, I will think of furry tails and little podgy bums. That can't be a bad thing, right?

I walked home the same way everyday. Today was no different. Two blocks from my house, driving would be insanity. Every day I noticed the liquor store and the bikini-clad girls holding giant beer bottles. You know, those cardboard cut-out advertisements they make. But today, I noticed the dead polar bear in the middle of the street.
I live in Florida. And there was no doubt in my mind that there was a dead polar bear in the middle of the intersection of Cross and Main. Cars were lined up like frozen ants. A long, long line. How the hell does that happen?
A construction worker came by. Took one disbelieving glance at the thing and said "We have to move it." I said no. I said there is no way in hell you are moving that polar bear from out of the middle of the road. He just repeated in his dumbass way "We have to move it." I wasn't the fighting type but if this guy and his dumb fucking orange vest was going to try to move that polar bear, the thing that took my wandering eyes off of the beer-holding cardboard broads, then I was willing to fight him. There were a lot of people lined up like ants with a lot of places to go and I knew it wouldn't be easy. But I was desperate.
I found myself walking to the middle of the street and lying down on top of that polar bear. I felt its fur. It was icy. It was real. Fifteen minutes later, I felt handcuffs being placed on my wrists. They were icy and real too. But I had my fifteen minutes. And I never have to walk those two fucking blocks home again. I never have to fantasize about plastic beer girls again. And I will never be the orange-vested douche-bag who everyone expects to play hero. No one expects anything from the guy who tried to save the dead polar bear.

Rescued is My Favorite Breed Adjustable Apron
Made of durable 65% polyester and 35% cotton and backed with seven ounces of twill, these restaurant-quality aprons make a fashion statement while standing up to the toughest cooking conditions and repeated washings. They have a soil and wrinkle-resistant finish that will keep you always looking your best.
The height of this apron ( from the chest down) is 24" and the width ( from side to side ) is 28" - with adjustable neck strap and extra long finished waist ties. The extra long waist ties are about 34 inches long on each side of apron. The adjustable neck strap lets the apron raise or lower up to 8 inches. The neck strap and waist ties are made in the same fabric and color of the apron.
XL aprons are available as a special order for a $7.00 surcharge. Please note that the regular sized apron is generous in size. It does fit most. I've seen it on a person less than 100 pounds and one around three times that. The adjustable neck and long ties make this a great buy!

I am very excited about this post. It's feather nails! I've been wanting to try these for months. I picked up the feathers a day or two before my last nail break though so doing these nails was put on hold. My nail has since grown back nicely so I figured it was past time to try feather nails for the first time.
Before attempting these nails I scoured the internet for blogger tutorials and youtube videos. What I learned is that while everyone has their own quirks, it's all basically done the same way. With this in mind, I set out to complete my own nails keeping the feather tutorials in mind.
I started with two coats of Revlon's Bare Bones. I thought of buying brightly colored feathers or using a bright polish but I wanted these nails to be slightly more classic. I wanted them to look more realistic for my first try. So I went for the realistic feathers and a neutral base color.
What I quickly realized is that the nails were very easy to do. Time consuming, yes but hard, not so much! I would recommend buying the bagged loose feathers. The only realistic feathers my craft store had though was a feather pad . I have no idea what this is used for originally but whatever it's meant for ... I don't think the feathers are meant to be just plucked and pulled off like I was doing. Some of them wouldn't come off at all and those that did left pieces behind. Still, I got more than enough of the feather to work with, so I guess the feather pad worked well enough.
Putting the feathers on was also a fairly simple task. I used the glue-like polish that comes in gem packages. I figured if it can hold on my gems for days it should be no problem to hold on a feather.
The first thing to remember when putting feathers on your nails is that you don't want to trim them too much before you have them practically glued to your nails. They will fall apart! Get them laid on your nails over a layer of clear polish, nothing quick drying because you need time to work, and then trim them around your nail. You'll want a small pair of scissors to do the trimming. I found it easier to trim because mine were both small and sharp tipped. After you get them trimmed around your nail you'll likely find you have some small, sharp pieces hanging over your nail. I recommend turning your scissors at an angle to lay over your nail and trimming the tips this way. Get the bottom blade under the pieces of feather hanging over your nail and use the top blade (still at an angle) to skim the very tip of your nail. Be very careful you don't cut your finger or your nail, just the feather! Anything you can't get with a pair of scissors can be lightly filed with a soft file.
I used three or four coats of a thick, quick dry top coat over the feathers. It took about that many before the polish stopped settling around the feather and the nail got smooth.
Here is the last picture I have to share. It's a natural part of the feather I used on this finger. I didn't even realized one of the spots formed into a heart, but I was ecstatic to see this!! It was like a little bit of love from the feathers themselves.
These feathers stayed on my nails for 5 days, and they only came off because I removed them! This is a very lasting manicure. This might have something to do with the feathers adding some protection to the tips of your nails or simply because you use so much top coat to seal them. Whatever it is, this mani lasts and looks amazing! The reactions you get when you say they're real feathers is also pretty darn cool.

As students begin shopping for supplies and teachers begin planning for a new academic year, Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) has some tips for parents and children on the safest ways for kids to travel to and from school. Whether walking or biking, there are major risks to be aware of to ensure overall transportation health and safety.
Lacye Vance, recreational safety analyst of the Injury Prevention Center, offers advice for pedestrians and cyclists.
For parents as well, walking with mobile devices can cause a distraction for other pedestrians and drivers.
Drivers should also remember to stop for school buses in both lanes of traffic. Children should cross in front of the bus, never behind it. When parents are also dropping children off in carpool lines they should remember to drop them off at the curb or driveway and make sure they do not run in front of or behind other vehicles. Parents should secure items in children's backpacks so that objects will not fall out when exiting the vehicle.
Vance encourages the activities of biking and walking to school and these resources help the environment, reduce traffic congestion and promote wellness. Children should be under adult supervision when traveling to school to help make decisions and reduce risks of injuries or bullying.
If a child feels he or she is ready to travel to and from school, a skills assessment checklist is available through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website at www.nhtsa.gov.

Karezza side effects may include more energy and a healthier libido
Not long ago, there was a brief publicity flurry about a venerable, but little known, approach to sex called "karezza" (pronounced ka-RET-za). ABC ran a news story and karezza articles showed up from Argentina to India. The ladies of The View even grappled with it. A karezza subreddit gained steam, and Germany gave birth to a new karezza website.

It was the early morning of 21 April 1926, when the surgeon Sir Harry Simpson ended, with great skill, a difficult caesarean section with which it came to light the small girl called Elizabeth. The first doctor's words were: "She was born a Queen!"
They were extremely difficult times in Europe: In Italy the fascists came into power and in Germany was the triumphant of the anarchy and the Nazis, and, shortly after, in England there was a general strike that paralysed the mining country and despite the support of King George V, the ministers passed a law forbidding strikes, in trade union membership, fuelling hatred of the upper classes.
The small 'Lilibet' (as she was known) was a strong girl and had bright eyes that her parents just adored. The family, including Elizabeth's nanny, Hallah Knight, adored her, the British people did too. Every day, small crowds gathered in the hope of being able to see her. For this great event, they had to wait a year. On 27 June 1927, the future Queen 'decided' to appear in public. The crowd could see the small Lilibet with a smile in her mother's arms, on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
After three years as an only child, Lilibet finally had a sister, Margaret Rose. Elizabeth was then was given to Marion Crawford, a "super-governess" always in uniform whom Lilibet immediately christened "Crawfie."
At that time she often went to visit her grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, where she spent many serene and happy hours, Elizabeth loved to hear their stories about the characters and life of their travels in the most distant lands of the Empire.
She was only ten years old when she met her first 'real pain': she was informed by her grandmother of the death of her grandfather. Elizabeth soon realized that an era had ended. In fact, the heir to the throne, Edward VIII, lover of the good life and married women, who drew her upon himself the criticism of traditionalist society, as a result, after only eleven months, while holding his intention to marry the divorced Wallis Simpson, decided to abdicate in favor of his younger brother Albert, who became King George VI and as a result, Lilibet became The Princess Elizabeth, heiress presumptive to the most famous Crown in the world.

Gear: NORTH 2013 NEO 7M, NORTH PRO SERIES 5'10''
Conditions: Side-offshore winds 20-30mph, head high plus waves!
My first impression of the North Neo was the kite's amazing ability to turn the power on or off by just simply sheeting in or sheeting out! The 2013 Neo has everything that you need or want in wave kite! Initially after launching the kite off the beach the immediate bar feel and responsiveness of the kite was awesome! Once out in the water and riding my first wave down the line, I was amazed at how well this kite drifted. You can park your kite, forget about it, surf the wave and the kite will just drift down the line waiting for your turning impulse on the bar! The Neo's turning speed was no less impressive than the rest of the kite; it really pivots and turns quickly! Looping the kite down the line is easy and turning the kite when riding was effortless.
My overall experience of the Neo was great! Rarely is there is not a thing that I would change about a kite, but I would change a thing in the 2013 North Neo; It is a highly refined kite and is built for dedicated wave-slayers and entry wave riders alike! Hands down, the 2013 North Neo is THE BEST kite I have ever ridden in the waves and I would highly recommend it to any wave rider out there!
Hope this has been a help to some of you guys looking for a wave specific kite! After riding it, I had to share about this amazing wave kite!!

Horses are non‐ruminant herbivores designed to utilize forages as the primary component of their diet. They have a non-compartmentalized simple stomach and an enlarged hindgut that accommodates fiber digestion. When fresh forages are unavailable, or when horses are confined to stalls or dry lots, conserved forages (hay) may be fed to meet their nutritional needs. Equine nutritional needs are based on requirements for digestible energy, and the six major classes of nutrients; carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and water.
Nutrient requirements for horses depend on their physiological status (age, metabolism, weight) and their level of production (maintenance, growth, exercise, reproduction, and lactation). Selecting hay and incorporating it into the ration should be done with the individual horse's needs in mind. Most classes of horses can meet all or a large majority of their nutritional needs from good quality hay alone. However, hay alone may not meet the nutrient requirements of horses with increased needs required for growth, reproduction, and exercise.
Horses require 2 to 3% of their body weight in feed (includes hay and grain) each day. At least half of their daily feed intake should be in the form of roughage such as fresh forage or hay to optimize digestive health. The amount and type of hay a horse needs ultimately depends on the individual horse's nutrient requirements and the quality of the hay. Hay quality should be determined by laboratory analysis. Following are three examples of how to correctly incorporate forage into your horse's diet.
Example 1: Adult Idle Horse (not working, not reproducing)
The nutrient requirements of idle adult horses can be met by good quality grass hay alone. Following is an example of a feeding program including hay requirements for an adult idle horse.
Horse Weight: 1,000 pounds Required Daily Feed Intake: 2% Total Intake Per Day: 20 pounds% of Hay in Daily Ration: 100% of Concentrate in Daily Ration: 0 Amount of Hay: 20 pounds (daily) Amount of Concentrate: 0 pounds
Hay should be analyzed for nutrient content to identify any deficiencies. For example, many hays are low in some vitamins and minerals, and supplementation is often necessary. Most commercial feed companies offer a vitamin and mineral supplement that is low in digestible energy and complements the nutrient content of forages. These supplemental concentrates are typically fed at a rate of 1 pound per day for idle adult horses.
Example 2: Working Horse: Moderate Exercise
The nutrient requirements of working horses are determined by the intensity and duration of exercise. Exercise increases the nutrient requirements of horses, and hay alone may not be sufficient to meet their needs. To meet the increased requirements of working horses, cereal grain based concentrates are often included in the daily ration. Following is an example of a feeding program including hay requirements to meet the needs of a horse in moderate exercise. Moderate exercise is classified as 3 to 5 hours per week.
Horse Weight: 1,000 pounds Required Daily Feed Intake: 2% Total Intake Per Day: 20 pounds% of Hay in Daily Ration: 75% of Concentrate in Ration: 25 Amount of Hay: 15 pounds (daily) Amount of Concentrate: 5 lbs
Grass hay alone may not be sufficient to meet the needs of working horses. Alfalfa hay is typically higher in digestible energy and nutrients. and may be sufficient in meeting the needs of working horses, particularly those in light or moderate work. Heavy and very heavy exercise will require an increased percentage of concentrates in their diet, but forage or hay should make up at least 50% of the daily ration.
Example 3: Growing Horses: 12 months of age
The energy and nutrient requirements for growing horses are greatly influenced by their age and rate of growth. For young horses in training (18 to 24 months of age), intensity of exercise also affects nutritional needs. The following example outlines a suggested feeding program and hay requirements for a 12 month old horse at a 1 pound average rate of daily gain.
Horse Weight: 700 pounds Average Daily Gain: 1 pound Required Daily Feed Intake: 2% Total Intake Per Day: 14 pounds% of Hay in Ration: 75 % of Concentrate in Ration: 25 Amount of Hay: 10.5 lbs (daily) Concentrate: 3.5 lbs (daily)
Good quality grass hay, alfalfa, and grass/alfalfa mixed hays can be used in feeding programs for young growing horses. If feeding a substantial amount of alfalfa, ensure the Ca:P ratio of the diet is approximately 3:1 and never inverted. Young horses with increased nutrient requirements (from training or exercise) will require an increased in concentrates, but forage should make up at least 50% of the diet. Good quality hay provides ample nutrients to meet the needs of most horses. Regardless of the class of horse, forages should make up at least 50% of the daily ration. Optimizing forages in your horse's diet will result in a healthier horse and can also result in significant financial savings.

Episode two of my experiment with the Raspberry Pi I have received at Pycon 2013. On the way back from Santa Clara I stopped by Fry's and bought the only USB sound card they had in store, a weird looking Creative and a powered USB hub. I ordered also a case from Adafruit industries (not convinced of the case though).
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 147a:e03d Formosa Industrial Computing, Inc.
Hooked them all together, installed avahi-daemon on the Pi so I can ssh into it easily from any lan (ssh raspberrypi.local, although I should change its name to something more unique). Tested arecord locally first. It took me a while to figure out how to use arecord, it's old stuff that I'm not very used to. You need to specify the hardware device. If you get this sort of error:
arecord: main:682: audio open error: No such file or directory
probably you haven't specified that you want to record from the card that actually has an input device
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 1: Audio [2 Channel USB Audio], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I hooked my phone's audio player to the mic input of the USB card so that there would be constantly audio coming in the Pi, then started recording
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ arecord -D hw:1,0 -f s16_le -c 2 > test.wav
I have specified the hardware device I want to use, the format and the number of channels. Playing back that file worked.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ aplay -D hw:1,0 test.wav
Next step was to capture live audio from the line input of the USB card, transcode that to OGG Vorbis and ship the bits to the remote Icecast server I setup last week. I quickly gave up on ezstream and started using ices2, the Icecast client: it seems easier to manage as it takes care of the encoding. This is the input module I used for the Pi:
<param name="rate">16000</param>
<param name="channels">2</param>
<param name="device">hw:1,0</param>
<!– Read metadata (from stdin by default, or –>
<!– filename defined below (if the latter, only on SIGUSR1) –>
<param name="metadata">1</param>
<param name="metadatafilename">liveaudio</param>
The USB soundcard I'm using sends 16000hz samples. I chose not to resample that, only to downmix stereo to mono to save bandwidth.
<– stereo->mono downmixing, enabled by setting this to 1 –>
And all seems to work: the Pi sends a clear signal up to the streaming server and it's been doing that for a while. Big success so far. Next step for me will be to write a script that grabs data from the OpenStack Summit schedule for one room and adds that information as metadata for the streaming: this way the listeners will have an idea of who is speaking or what the session is about.
Update: the stream was having a wide latency, around 20 seconds so I decided to play a little bit with the sampling rates. The latency went down to around 1 second using <param name="rate">48000</param> in the input module and <samplerate>48000</samplerate> in the encode module, with no resampling. Unfortunately the USB card dies every now and then when not connected through a powered USB hub. Too bad, because the USB hub looks ugly.

Millstätter See (Lake Millstatt) is the second largest lake in Carinthia and especially popular among families with children. The public bathing areas offer attractive facilities (including diving platforms) and lots of fun and action. Water sports include surfing, sailing and rowing. Thanks to its crystal-clear water and unparalleled underwater realm Lake Millstatt is particularly favored by divers.
Apart from water sports the Millstätter See region offers numerous routes and trails for walking, cycling and mountain biking. For an even more relaxed lake experience we recommend a leisurely cruise. Cultural highlights: Stift Millstatt, Burg Sommeregg, various events.

At first blush, Jerrone Maymon looked to have knocked out Andrew Harrison with a wild elbow to the face. But with each successive replay here you can see that it was a flop and an absolutely ridiculous one at that.
The first view is real time and looks like a straight-up foul; everyone in the building reacts identically. The second looks less severe, but it's still so fast and definitely possible Maymon clipped Harrison's nose or something. On the third view, things get silly.
By the last view there's, like, a foot of space between Maymon's elbow and Harrison's face. Even his fellow teammates know he really sold it, especially Julius Randle, who flashes a mischievous smile as he applauds the referee's whistle.
After viewing the replay, however, the referees decided against assessing a foul on the play.

From Ragtime to Riches
The leading characters in E. L. Doctorow's very splashy Ragtime are a family, called by name Father, Mother, Mother's Younger Brother, and "the boy," plus Harry Houdini, Emma Goldman, Evelyn Nesbit, Harry K. Thaw, Coalhouse Walker Jr., Sarah, J. P. Morgan, Henry Ford, Admiral Peary, Baron Ashkenazy and his daughter, Booker T. Washington, the Fire Chief of New Rochelle, the District Attorney of New York. Near the beginning we learn this about America at the turn of the century:
Children suffered no discriminatory treatment. They were valued everywhere they were employed. They did not complain as adults tended to do. Employers liked to think of them as happy elves. If there was a problem about employing children it had to do only with their endurance. They were more agile than adults but they tended in the latter hours of the day to lose a degree of efficiency. In the canneries and mills these were the hours they were most likely to lose their fingers or have their hands mangled or their legs crushed; they had to be counseled to stay alert.
Baron Munchausen might well ask: "Was you there, Doctorow?" Indeed, had the Baron turned up in the pages of Ragtime to ask that question, Doctorow would have been delighted to answer: Yes. No. Wait and see.
Your basic historical novelist plods along, takes the evidence as given, filling in details when needed, seeking accuracy as well as truth; the fun, be the author Anya Seton or John Dos Passos, is to mix the "real" or the "known" with the "imagined" and to end up with a confectionery or acerbic or somberly insistent sense of the way it once was. More recently some American novelists, high-flying and showmen all, have been ransacking history along with everything else. In Gravity's Rainbow we learn about the toilets in the men's room of the Roseland Ballroom when Malcolm X was there shining shoes; in Alan Lelchuk's American Mischief Norman Mailer is murdered and the Fogg Museum blown up; in Doctorow's own The Book of Daniel, trickily based on the story of the Rosenbergs, there is a conversation between Molotov and James F. Byrnes, carefully indented as if it were being quoted from a document.
Now here, in Ragtime, what had been a pastime becomes a way of life: Houdini escapes from the prison in which Harry Thaw is incarcerated; Father sets out for the North Pole with Peary; Emma Goldman massages Evelyn Nesbit until "the younger woman began to ripple on the bed like a wave on the sea," at which point Mother's Younger Brother jumps out of a closet and on top of Nesbit; the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria does not know who Houdini is and "congratulated him on the invention of the aeroplane."
Treat it as game and it will turn serious; treat it as serious and it becomes fun, rippling, careless, careful. Certainly one cannot say Anya Seton or John Dos Passos is "truer to history." The…

Ymalay Photography
I am a 28 year old male new startup wedding and portrait photographer. I prefer a more candid, journalistic style to my portraits, compared to the more traditional in studio approach. I'm trying to convey a sense of modern, chic, yet simplistic no frills approach. I do not like overly frilly, especially since I am a male. I like slightly more feminine (60-70%) approach to my logo as they are really the clients I am selling to a lot. Simple, yet elegant is my style. I don't just take photos, I capture moments.
I primarily shoot weddings and engagements, but am definitely expanding fast, and taking newborn photos, maternity, and family portraits regularly now.
My main audience is 20's to 30's couples looking to get married, and just starting families. More upscale. Typically earning in the 40,000+ range. I do not want to convey a sense of cheapness, but one of simple modern elegance. I like a more refined customer base, and typically cater to professionals, doctors, lawyers, dentists, nurses, etc.
Think upscale, not trashy or cheap.
My name must obviously be in the logo, and it would be nice if it was incorporated directly into the logo, but not a necessity. A simple graphic would be good, but nothing with too many frills or too "feminine", but can take 60-70% feminine. . Mild loops and curves are ok. And a more cursive loopy font is acceptable. Just not something too hard to read.
It can have some loops to it, but nothing "too loopy." Simple is better.
The logo must emboss well, so I can foil stamp bags, cases, etc. If it does not emboss well, I will not choose it.
I would really like to emphasize the name of my company, but would be open to see what other ideas people have.
I do not want a camera anywhere on my logo.
No shutters on my logo.
No Large Icons.
I mainly would like my name with maybe a small elegant logo, possibly incorporated into the logo, and easily embossable. A heart in the logo would be acceptable.
Here is the site where I will be using to print some embossed CD sleeves to give you an idea what will work. If I can easily convert the graphic to plain B&W after the graphic is sent to me, or even if the winner sends me a b&W along with a gradient version, this is not a problem.
Here is the site and example of the CD sleeve.
Here is examples of exceptable and unacceptable logos for embossing.

- Notification boxes for errors and notices;
- Vertical list with one image and two images;
- Tiled list of images with captions;
- A control for filtering/searching within a list
- Form with common elements;
- Context Menu;
- Lightbox
I'll need three pages designed.
- The home page;

On Sunday Bill Gates will open the Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas with a speech focusing on Microsoft's role in the connected world.
The digital home and the move to a high definition age will dominate the agenda at CES, say analysts.
On Tuesday in San Francisco, Apple boss Steve Jobs will address Mac devotees.
Devices which move digital content around the home - from PC to PC and to TVs, hi-fis and other products - have been available for some years but the digital living room battleground is still to be won.
Companies such as Netgear, D-Link, HP and Intel are all expected to unveil new products at CES which make it easier to hook up the digital home and share content such as films and music.
These companies have allied themselves with Microsoft's vision of connectivity and on Sunday evening Mr Gates will deliver the opening keynote of CES and is expected once again to concentrate on the themes of digital content in the home and beyond.
Microsoft has partnered with a number of companies around the world - including BT in the UK - to help deliver video content via the net, called IPTV, and to offer a platform for sharing content built around its new operating system, Vista.
Analyst Michael Gartenberg, Jupiter research director, said: "I expect a strong push from Microsoft relating to Vista.
"This will also likely be Bill Gates' final CES. It will be his swan song and I expect a lot of nostalgia during the evening."
He added: "Apple will not be physically present, but will cast a huge shadow over the show."
In fact, there may well be a mass exodus from CES on Monday night to San Francisco ahead of Apple chief executive Steve Jobs giving his keynote speech.
'Critical part'
"Apple has gone from being just another computer manufacturer to being a critical part of the consumer electronics industry," said Mr Gartenberg.
Apple is tipped to give more details about its iTV device, which shares video and other digital content around the home; a key part of its digital home strategy.
Analyst Sean Wargo said: "The networked home is such a complicated technology - you've got networking infrastructure that needs to be in place, you need devices that can tie into that network and you need content.
"Each year there has been developments in one or all of these areas. The latest development has been around the interface you use to interact or manage that content."
With Apple choosing its own path in San Francisco and many companies in Las Vegas securely attached to Microsoft's vision for the digital home, with Vista at the centre of plans, there are two key rival strategies for the future emerging.
More than 140,000 people will attend CES, swarming over more than three million square feet of conference halls, housing the latest digital devices and gadgets
Mr Wargo, director of industry analysis at the Consumer Electronics Association, the organiser of CES, said: "One of the other major themes of this year is the services and content that feed the networked home."
Mr Wargo said the drive for higher resolutions and "beyond hi-def" displays, cameras and games consoles would be the stars of the show.
"High definition TV is driving industry growth now - in the US we are going through a massive display upgrade cycle.
"We're seeing unprecedented volume of TV selling through retail right now. It's pushing that market to new heights. It is now the single biggest product category."
Mr Gartenberg said the focus of CES would be the ongoing move from analogue to digital lives, both in the domestic and business worlds.
'Huge content'
"There will be a lot of stuff related to the digital home - especially for people who have problems with building and managing these huge content libraries of video, music and photos."
Mr Wargo said next generation DVD would certainly be part of the buzz of the show. A lot of people I would expect would be talking about the two formats and whether they will persist for a considerable amount of time."
Blu-ray and HD-DVD are rival and incompatible high definition DVD formats and have a number of different backers.
Sony is the flag-bearer for Blu-ray while Toshiba and Microsoft are firmly in the HD-DVD camp.
Mr Wargo said: "Attendees will be looking for signs of one format pulling ahead of the other or if both formats can coexist."
The battle may be altered following the news that Korean giant LG is to announce a DVD player which can play both formats.
The appearance of Yahoo and Google at last year's show reflected the rising importance of content and services to the digital home and Mr Wargo said he expected 2007 to be no different.
"We are seeing two fronts maturing - the hardware and operating system that will control this system and the content that will feed it.
"There's a story of how the online community is emerging as a potential competitor to the cable, satellite and packaged media industry.
The fact that Walt Disney and CBS are giving keynotes tell the story of how this market place is really growing beyond the boundaries of hardware and moving into content and software."
