From The Bottom Of My Heart
CD (Item 611993) Expansion (UK), 2012 — Condition: New Copy
Beautifully bouncy right from the start – a record that's definitely got an indie soul vibe, but which also comes across with the kind of polish of some of the best major label sets from a few decades ago! Victor's clearly a pro at this sort of thing – and finds a way to balance his sound beautifully – in ways that never make the record sound too commercial, but which definitely keeps the whole thing right on the money throughout! Pete May plays keyboards, and co-produced – clearly part of the album's strength – and titles include "Fallin", "Music & Love", "Can't Stop", "If You Want Me", "Give You My Love", "Less Than A Minute", and "Steppin Out". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Wait! Before I forget...
- China Mieville.
Nik came across that comment from China, and we both remarked upon how much we identified with it. So I thought I'd share it with you here.
Other stuff: I've been really busy this last week or so, with a battery-recharging visit to Black Library towers, from which I returned bursting with more ideas than... Something So Very Full Of Ideas It's Going To Burst. Just for now, I must make time to mention four things:
This Saturday, the 22nd, I will be making two more appearances as part of the "Prospero Burns Tour". You can find me at Games Workshop Thurrock (Lakeside) from 11 until 1, and then at Games Workshop Bluewater from 3 until 5. Be there or... I'll be lonely.
On Saturday the 29th, I'll be popping up at the Kent Adventure Gaming Society's GameCon, details of which you can find here. I'll be there from 12 until 2, waxing lyrical and defacing books.
Then, on Saturday 5th February, I will be at the SFX Weekender, talking, signing, and then attending a screening of Ultramarines with producer Bob Thompson. Details of the Weekender here, but please be aware I am NOT a weekender. I am only going to be there for the Saturday.
Finally, Saturday 12th February, I will be signing the hnaftafls off Prospero Burns at the Games Workshop Oxford Street Plaza store. Details from all good Black Libraries. I believe Graham will be there too, so it will surely suck for him, because I am Russ and he is Magnus, and I will therefore be obliged to poke him in the eye with my cock-spankingly giant axe.
Couple of pleasing reviews came my way, so I'm sharing them below. Here's a nice one from CBR.com...
"In some ways, "Heroes for Hire" seems to be Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning's version of "Marvel Team-Up" where they can throw together any sort of character they want. What's that? Silver Sable and Paladin meet Satana and Ghost Rider? Hey, why not? As long as it works—and trust me, it works.
"Part of Abnett and Lanning's trick in making it work is that the book never feels like it's slowing down, not even for an instant. The pace is steady and quick, and every time you think the book is going to resolve itself, Abnett and Lanning throw in another obstacle that needs to be overcome.
"They're also not afraid to slightly buck reader expectations. Books where the controller is sending out heroes on missions (in this case Misty Knight taking that central role) and one hero needs the cash, well, you can predict some of what's to come. At some point the cash is going to come back up again, but Abnett and Lanning turn it on its head with Silver Sable being told to leave but still get paid and being told not to. It's a good turning point, that moment where you start to realize things are going wrong, and it keeps the interest up.
"Abnett and Lanning are also already starting to explore the overarching plot of Misty Knight and her captor, something which I figured we wouldn't see for a while. It's nice to know there's going to be that common thread knitting the issues together, and it makes me that much more eager to see next month's issue. Never mind the random heroes getting tossed into the mix, I want to know what's going to happen to Misty.
"I'm also pleased to see Abnett and Lanning reunited with Brad Walker and Andrew Hennessy after their time together on "Guardians of the Galaxy." Walker and Hennessy's art looks even better than ever, from the thick locks of hair on Silver Sable, to the rumpled and bunched up clothing we get whenever people are leaping through the air. They get the big moments just right too, from that demonic grin on Silver Sable's face as she starts firing one of the cursed weapons, to the dramatic reveal of Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider's on the cover of the book, but his appearance looks so larger than life and powerful that I ended up being startled in spite of my previous knowledge.
"This is a fun comic that's already picking up steam. When do we get #3? "Heroes for Hire," I'm sold"
And here's one from Ain't It Cool News:
"Y'know, it is a really rare thing for me to "fanboy out" I guess would be the term for getting all wound up about certain characters getting having a huge moment – Spider-Man taking down Morlun, Batman taking down a handful of White Martians with some gas and a match, etc. I would wager it stems back to honestly being more or less jaded at this point; I've simply read too many comics and seen most my favorite characters have countless moments. Taking that into consideration, what happens for me anymore these days in my superhero reading is I find myself getting my jollies when I see second or third tier characters getting their time in the spotlight. It's why I have adored what Abnett & Lanning have been pulling off in the cosmic sector of the Marvel Universe and now that they are working with the Marvel Knights section of it as well, I could not be happier.
"Well, okay, I lied. There are some places I would like this book to go. But for now I am highly entertained. I like the build up that is going on here involving, for those who have not tried this yet, a rotating cast of anyone Misty Knight can call upon for a little butt kicking, which there has been a plethora of. There's a pretty interesting and disturbing master plot going on to, where Misty has been calling on these heroes while in the thrall of the Puppet Master, a twist that was very unexpected at the end of the first issue but is an intriguing hook. At the least it is a means to a hopeful end, which I will get to now.
"While I do dig on this rotating crew thing for now, especially in the early going, I do hope this turns into something a little more stable. I know it is not right to judge a book on what it might be until it happens, but I think a rotisserie of a couple characters a month will get old fast, given that I felt a little momentum lost already with just one more issue. So I'm hoping this turns into at least a semblance of a team book, like a GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, with several characters you can count on to be mostly there but a nice drop-in/drop-out esthetic with a couple new MK-based faces every so often. But who am I to argue with these two gents given their handling of the Marvel Cosmic material?
"I guess "fun" is an easy word to throw around when it comes to any well produced superhero book, but HFH is excelling at it so far and with some rather dark overtones to boot. Lots of stylish action with a creepy missing persons arc to get things rolling. Digging Brad Walker's work on this as well, in the wake of his material in the aforementioned cosmic books. It has the hyperkinetic tendencies this book needs and looks fantastic all the while shit is being blow up oh so good (even if Puppet Master looks like a pedophile caught in a wind tunnel). This book has it going on from both ends and is helping me channel that inner fanboy that I usually keep locked away, not unlike Ms. Knight in her current peril…okay, too far. Just buy it already…"
So that was nice. Anyway, like I said I'm very busy and I'm teetering on ideas overload, so I can't stay here gassing. I haven't had time to prepare a full response to the Gaunt casting ideas yet, but I have been enjoying them. Some in a "what the hell..?" kind of way, and others in a "Oooh, never thought of that one..." style (in the latter camp... Radha Mitchell as Criid, James Purefoy as Bask etc). I will make some picks of my own soon (though you won't like them). In the meantime, please feel free to keep coming up with ideas.
If you want a new task to focus on... Eisenhorn. Casting for him, Ravenor and the crew, if you like, but what I'm REALLY interested in is what he sounds like. Who would you pick to give Gregor Eisenhorn a voice?
Can't imagine why I'd be asking that...

"I'm about to tell you a true story. It's not about me (honest). I have this friend who submitted an application to Apple for review. After a few weeks, it came back with one of those embarrassingly stupid rejection letters that said more about the person reviewing the application than it did about the application itself. In a nutshell, the application violated one of those user interaction rules that seem to exist in certain pompous minds rather than in the actual Apple Human Interface Guidelines. [...] After a day or so of calming down, this person decided to go ahead and resubmit the application. And did so without making a single change to the application. I'm sure you know where this is going."

Výborná kvalita

Anantara offered a very high end stay in Thalang which is about the only quite beach in Phuket. The facilities are top notch, especially with access to... the Anantara hotel directly across the street which offered many restaurants and a fabulous beachside pool and patio. It is very remote here though which we found a blessing compared to the rest of Thailand which is very busy and very crowded. The Marriot next door also offers many services as well. The only caution we make is that the complex is still under construction so at times it was a bit noisy, but given the beach and pools you won't hardly be in your room anyways. napsal host společnosti Hotels.com dne 06.05.2013

When the Bills and Tennessee Titans get together at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday, a season once thought to be in peril can get a huge momentum boost.
What are some areas of the game that deserve some extra attention? Let's take a look at five things to watch for when the two teams square off.
1) Getting Fitzpatrick Back on Track
- If ever there were a week to get Ryan Fitzpatrick and the passing attack back on track, this would be the one. The Titans use a lot of Cover-2 and have gotten beat a lot through the air. Since Cortland Finnegan left via free agency, the Titans have struggled to get consistent play from the cornerback position. While Jason McCourty is capable enough, Alterraun Verner has struggled for Tennessee. The Titans, as shown by the Steelers in Week Six, are susceptible to the vertical passing game. Might this be the week Fitzpatrick and the Bills finally connect on a fly pattern? The quarterback will of course have to make to throw, but on paper the opportunity is there.
2) Containing the Edge vs. CJ2K
- In their matchup last season, the "struggling" Chris Johnson popped off for 153 yards and two touchdowns. Now, a couple of things are different from the result in December 2011. First, and most notably, the Bills now play in a four-man front after their 3-4 experiment failed just two seasons in. That means there will no longer be a defensive tackle playing outside linebacker (Spencer Johnson) against a running back that once ran the 40-yard dash in under 4.3 seconds. Secondly, the personnel for the Bills has improved. While he hasn't gotten off to the incredible start that some were hoping for, Mario Williams is still solid in setting the edge and stuffing the run. Also, they have Kelvin Sheppard in a more natural position and a rookie linebacker (Nigel Bradham) that flies around everywhere to get to the ball. Will it be a recipe for success? We'll have to find out. The one area the Bills will have to improve from last week though is the role of the right end to set the edge. Whether it be Chris Kelsay or Kyle Moore, they cannot allow themselves to get sucked in to the inside shoulder of the left tackle, giving the running back a hearty cutback option. That accounted for a majority of the yards gained by William Powell for Arizona. It's even more of a challenge this week for Buffalo against a better running back and left tackle (Michael Roos).
3) Dareus, Kyle Williams vs. Weak Interior OL
- The weakest part of the Titans offense undoubtedly is the play of their interior offensive line. While Steve Hutchinson is a former Pro Bowl player and still does some nice things, he is no longer the player he once was. At center and right guard, Tennessee uses Fernando Velasco and Leroy Harris respectively. Both players have not been good in the past two weeks against Minnesota and Pittsburgh, and present a very big opportunity for Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus to continue on their impressive play from last week. If they can make an impact early on, it could cause Matt Hasselbeck to throw off his back foot (more on that coming later) and get Chris Johnson inside his own head because he's not able to get started early on.
4) Tough Assignments for Bills OTs
- The sack numbers are not good so far for Tennessee. In six games, the Titans have only managed to bring down the quarterback eight times. However, it's not for a lack of pressure from the defensive ends. The type of pass-rushers the Titans have could present some problems to both left tackle Chris Hairston and right tackle Erik Pears. Left defensive end Derrick Morgan and right defensive end Kamerion Wimbley are both quick-twitch athletes that like a speed rush to get around the corner. If you had to pick a weakness of the Bills' starting offensive tackles, it would be that they struggle against speed rushers due to their bigger frames. Morgan against Pears is especially concerning for the Bills, considering Pears has struggled for much of the season.
5) Ballhawking Opportunities
- If he hadn't already, Buffalo free safety Jairus Byrd put the Titans on alert about his prowess to make a big play in the secondary. A combination of Byrd's abilities and the tendencies of quarterback Matt Hasselbeck could lead to some big plays made by the defensive backfield of the Buffalo Bills. Under duress, Hasselbeck will throw off his back foot at times which gives the defender an extra step to get to the destination of the attempt. This could be the week one of the young cornerbacks could find themselves with their first interception of the season. Not to mention Byrd will be lurking back there all game long based on what Hasselbeck has shown in the previous two games.
OUT: OT Cordy Glenn, G Kraig Urbik, DE Mark Anderson
QUESTIONABLE: DT Spencer Johnson, DT Kyle Williams, CB Terrence McGee, S Da'Norris Searcy
PROBABLE: DE Mario Williams, WR Brad Smith
OUT: CB Tommie Campbell, QB Jake Locker, HB Javon Ringer
QUESTIONABLE: DT Jurrell Casey, LB Colin McCarthy, OT Mike Otto
PROBABLE: DT Patrick Bailey
Prediction: Bills over Titans
Home game aside, the Bills grade out very favorably against the Titans. Their offense just isn't quite as explosive with Matt Hasselbeck at quarterback, and their weaknesses on that side of the ball play right in to the perceived strengths of the Buffalo Bills defense. This game will ultimately be decided by how the defensive tackles perform against a weaker interior offensive line in combination with Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller being able to establish themselves like they did against Arizona. It could be the week for Ryan Fitzpatrick to have a solid game at least. However, if he isn't going early it should be the Jackson and Spiller show from that point forward.

Curley was born in 1846. He became one of the most influential politicians of his time. William was born in 1853. He achieved equal stature as a businessman.
Curley was born Aug. 31, 1846, the eldest of the five children of Cornelius Duson and Sarah Ann Webb. W. W. Duson was the fourth child, born on Oct. 5, 1854. The brothers had three sisters, Mary Ann, Ellen, and Laura.
W. W. Duson made his first money running a general store. He grew rich selling real estate. He made his legend drilling for oil. Curley Duson participated in most of his brother's ventures. But his fame came as an old-time, gun-totin' lawman who always got his man. He made his name during his 14 years as sheriff of St. Landry Parish, in the days when the parish stretched from the Atchafalaya River to the Sabine and was one of the roughest sections of the country.
Curley began as a 21-year-old deputy to Sheriff James G. Hayes, with whom he'd served in the Civil War. From the start, Curley believed his business was to hunt criminals. Historian and biographer William Henry Perrin reported one of the early incidents: "With two other deputies, [Duson] tracked the Guilroy brothers... who had long defied the law, to Catahoula Parish. There a fight ensued, in which eight shots were fired--three by the Guilroys and five by the deputies, terminating in the death of both Guilroy brothers."
Perrin tells us that when Curley became sheriff in 1974, "One of the first things he accomplished was the breaking up of organized bands of outlaws who for years had scourged the country. He followed criminals to the border of Mexico, into the mountains of the Indian Territory (Oklahoma), and as far north as Illinois. He had three desperate fights in his attempts to capture fugitives ... (and) was at different times the target for the bullets of those whose only chance of escape ... lay in his removal from their path."
It helped that Curley was a crack shot. A report in May 1882, noted that, shooting from a boat near Morgan City, Curley had killed 96 alligators with 96 shots.
Duson retired as sheriff when he was 41 years old to join his brother in promoting the new Acadia Parish. In the late 1880s, the W. W. Duson & Bro. Real Estate Co. helped bring hundreds of new families to the area, many of them to settle on Duson lands.
The brothers were among the first stockholders in the Louisiana Irrigation and Milling Co. organized in 1904. They were also officers of the Abbott-Duson Canal System, companies whose canals irrigated more than 20,000 acres of farmland. Eventually, W. W. held interest in a bank, a newspaper, four rice mills, three canal companies, and the largest rice farm in southwest Louisiana. But his most romantic enterprise was in a race to find oil.
In 1901, he was made president of the Crowley Oil and Mineral Co, which began drilling on a 640 acre tract on the same day the Heywood brothers began the famous well near Jennings that was the first in Louisiana.
Duson's derrick was completed and pipe was on hand by early June. The Heywoods were also ready to drill just next door. Duson broke ground first. The Heywoods got started an hour later. The race was on.
The Heywoods had to move their well when drilling pipe broke in the first one. The same thing happened to the Crowley well, and it too was moved. Drillers worked at a feverish pace. Duson ran out of time and luck on Sept. 21, 1901. The Heywood well gushed oil. Duson's drillers were still finding dust.
It wasn't until a year later, on Sept. 11, 1902, that Crowley Oil and Mineral finally got its gusher. It was less than 100 feet from the Heywood well.
That first strike brought better luck. By the end of 1904, Duson's company owned 14 producing wells. By 1905, the field was being called "the greatest in the history of the oil business." The good news was just one well in that field produced a million barrels of oil that year. The bad news was that oil sold for only 13 cents a barrel.

The nation may have gotten a terrible jobs report for August, but there was one part of the economy that's doing pretty well. Unemployment among government workers is at 5.1 percent, the lowest in the nation.
The unemployment rate for government wage and salaries workers dropped from 5.7 percent in July to 5.1 percent in August. At the same time, the number of government wage and salary workers counted as unemployed dropped by 123,000 people from 1,182,000 in July to 1,059,000 in August.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts someone as a government wage and salary worker if they are not in the military and they are currently employed by any level of government—local, state or federal—or they are unemployed, they are looking for work and their last job was for any level of government.
If the job participation rate (the number of Americans considered to be in the work force) were the same as when President Obama took office, the unemployment rate would be 11.2 percent. We are now at the lowest level of civilian employment as a percent of the total since we began keeping statistics. Perhaps, just perhaps, there is a relationship between the lack of civilian jobs and the increase in government employment.
For every new program that Local, State or Federal government initiates, there is a new bureaucracy and wave of hiring. If you're not in government and not in the half that pays no taxes, you're paying for it.

emratio drops during recessions. I assume because of the loss of private sector jobs. For some strange reason, the y axis of your graph is zoomed in to a 7% window. weird.
I attached a longer view of the graph you cited.
Robert J. Nebel

There has been a record decline in government jobs. According to the Hamilton Project, "... public-sector employment (i.e. federal, state, and local government jobs) declined in 10 of the past 12 months, in sharp contrast to 29 consecutive months of private-sector job growth." The report admits that it is true that falling public employment has been among the largest contributors to unemployment in the United States since the end of the Great Recession. Still, "Total government (i.e., the sum of state, local, and federal) employment has decreased by over 580,000 jobs since the end of the recession, the largest decrease in any sector since the recovery began in July 2009."
8:55 am on Tuesday, September 11, 2012
"We are now at the lowest level of civilian employment as a percent of the total since we began keeping statistics."
Unless I am mis-interpreting the graph thaqt Bryon sent, Mr Lowry has made a fundamental error.
Also, as the population ages and retirement increases, the percentage of adults working will decrease. This seems to be an even larger factor than the large decrease in government jobs in the last 4 years.

Mike said: "The nation may have gotten a terrible jobs report for August"
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 96,000 in August. I don't believe this qualifies as a terrible jobs report. Not great, but certainly not terrible.
What would be terrible:
How about on October 2, 2009 when the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the employment situation report for September, 2009 marking the 21st month of consecutive job loss, the longest streak in 70 years. 263,000 jobs were shed in September and the unemployment rate rose to 9.8%. The employment loss was larger than expected, and the only reason unemployment did not rise more was the fact that 571,000 workers dropped out of the labor force. The labor force was 615,000 workers lower than it was a year earlier, dropping 0.4%.
Mike.... come on.

The figure that continues to impress me is the people that "left the Work Force" - ~368,000 in August. Where did they go? What are they doing instead? Did I miss the Rapture?
Just Nasty and Mean
10:02 pm on Tuesday, September 11, 2012
There is absolutely NOTHING in this jobs report that could be considered positive. Job growth is STILL going negative---The country naturally produces more people entering the job force than this economy is producing.
Net/Net: We are producing more unemployed each and every month.
Tell me again how that is good?
Frank Jones
8:44 am on Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Haven't you noticed that Mike Lowry is a political hack that plays with and distorts numbers to promote his agenda. He claims that job growth of 92k is terrible, but job growth is always good!
He also presents an argument that something is wrong when government unemployment is 5% while private sector is higher. The problem with his assertion is that unlike the private sector, demand for government services doesn't decrease during a recession but actually stays the same or increases. As such, it's reasonable for government unemployment to be more recession proof than the private sector.
Lastly, everyone should find his final comment referring to the "50%" who don't pay taxes offensive. This "statistic" is flawed! Most of that 50% do pay taxes...payroll, sales, gas and more. They contribute to the govt! They may not pay income taxes because they simply make too little or are retired and have already paid their fair share!
If you're looking for deadbeats, there are 16000 who make more than $250k but pay no US income taxes!
9:33 am on Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Look - color it any way you want - government jobs are jobs - it's the price we pay for over-regulation and bureaucracy. Like any business that is mismanaged if overhead costs are greater than revenue intake, they run in the red. If you were to lay off the all of the redundancy in the government workplace - you would flood the private sector with those job seekers. In the private sector, businesses are finally able to turn a small profit due to right sizing their business and their overheads accordingly. You have more people entering the workforce than leaving the workforce because retirees are not financially able to retire just yet. You have illegals who occupy jobs not reported - they do not factor into the numbers either since they are undocumented, so the "reported numbers" are about as fictitious as it comes.
Frank Jones
2:00 pm on Wednesday, September 12, 2012
Pete...Government jobs are jobs and it's the price we pay for living in a civilized society. There is often bureaucracy and wasteful spending in the private sector - they're not just limited to just the government. Businesses are turning a profit and have been turning a profit as real wages have been flat for 20 years and many businesses are having their salaried employees work more than 40 hours. Illegals are a problem; however, the businesses that hire them are the bigger problem! Home owners who hire illegals are also a problem!
To solve our fiscal problems...eliminate preferential taxation of certain income (i.e. capital gains/dividends), limit amounts that can be deferred into IRA/401K/retirement accounts, tax foreign earnings of businesses, close the tax gap by requiring 1099's for all business purchases > $1,000, limit charitable deductions to $50,000 per year, limit mortgage interest to $30-40K per year, limit miscellaneous itemized deductions to $10-20K per year, eliminate bonus depreciation and curtail section 179 deductions, tax gains on sale of personal residences, subject stock options to payroll taxes, limit the foreign tax credits used by high net worth citizens, tax unrecognized gains of appreciated assets given to charity, close the carried interest "loophole", reduce military spending...I can keep going.
8:11 am on Friday, September 14, 2012
What Mike Lowry...the political hack refuses to recognize is that government spending and taxes are at their lowest levels since Dwight Eisenhower....that's a fact. No matter whether you believe Lowry's opinion is correct or not, it's still just one idiot's opinion.

Courtney Bugler and her husband were planning on starting a family when their baby plans took an unexpected detour -- Courtney was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Upon hearing the news, Courtney, who was then 29, was immediately concerned she wouldn't be able to have the baby she was hoping for.
"Is this going to ruin our chances to have a baby?" was one of the first questions Courtney said she asked her doctors.
Luckily for her and her husband, Courtney had options.
Since Courtney, who was being treated at Northwestern University in Chicago, knew she wanted to eventually have a family, fertility experts were looped in to her treatment plans.
According to Dr. Ralph Kazer, the chief of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Northwestern University, if a doctor at NU has a cancer patient who wants to become pregnant, the fertility doctors are quickly brought on to her case. Then the doctors will work together to treat the woman.
"We make sure that the left hand knows what the right hand is doing," Kazer said.
Before undergoing a lumpectomy, Courtney was able to have eggs harvested and turned into embryos.
She then went through chemotherapy and radiation to treat her breast cancer, followed by hormone therapy. Courtney then took a break from her hormone treatments and waited for three months to get the tamoxifen out of her system before she tried to get pregnant.
Courtney -- who eventually also had her ovaries removed -- became impregnated with the frozen embryos she stored before her cancer treatments. She says she got pregnant right away, but eventually miscarried about nine weeks later. About six weeks after her miscarriage, Courtney repeated the process with the embryos and once again became pregnant.

Geek The Vote
NTEU is supporting a campaign by Science and Technology Australia (STA) to promote the importance of science in public debates and promoting science contribution to public policy and debate.
The campaign seeks to deliver a copy of the book "The Geek Manifesto" to every federal politician. The campaign involves asking people to sign up to purchase a copy of the book to be sent to their local politician, and if they have already received one, to allow another politician to receive their copy. The book is described on the promotional website:
In this agenda-setting book, Mark Henderson builds a powerful case that science should be much more central than it is to government and the wider national conversation. It isn't only that scientific understanding is passed over as decisions are made; the experimental methods of science aren't applied to evaluating policy either.
Politicians, Henderson argues, pay lip service to science for a very simple reason: they know they can get away with it. And that will change only when people who care about science get politically active. It's time to mobilise the geeks.
The book has been sent to 650 parliamentarians in the UK, and STA is seeking to repeat that exercise in Australia.
Further details can be obtained from the STA website at http://scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au/geek-the-vote/

Five Minute Brimmed Beanie
It started out as an experiment. I saw $1 cuffed beanies at Walmart and wondered if I could add a brim to them to make them look a little bit like these Colombia brand ones.
It wasn't perfect but turned out pretty cute.
It really does take just a few minutes. Here goes.
Take your $1 beanie. I bought it from the boys section at Walmart.
Cut out a brim from a plastic yogurt container. It is a slim brim. Mine was about 1 1/2 inches at it's thickest in the middle.
Cuff the hat how you want it and pin around one side to keep it in place.
Leave the other side open and slip the bill in.
Now pin this side closed as well. You won't sew where the pins are but you want to pin it all the way around so the cuff won't shift when you sew the bill in place.
Pushing the bill so it protrudes straight out and using this stitch...
Stitch across the top of the bill or right above it. I aimed to sew right above the bill and let it catch the bill when I got to the sides.
This first time was okay but I wanted to fix the sides. Unpicking this kind of knit is not easy. So it frayed a little but that's okay. Drawing a chalk line before you sew will help you avoid the same mistake I made.
And that's it! All done. Easy right? And so so inexpensive.
See how the cuff goes all the way around just like the original?
My oldest wanted to try it on too. I wasn't sure if it would fit him because of the mostly fixed cuff but it did okay. I had to pull the cuff down a bit but it still worked. Now that I have looked at the original again I think I could pull the cuff down a little more to make a bigger one for him.
Walmart also sells adult beanies just like these for $2! I would make one for my husband but he is a fish biologist/grad student so he does field work in below freezing temps right now and would need a better, a.k.a. more expensive, beanie.
Otherwise these beanies are great for around town and running errands with mom. :)

A yogurt container. Genius! My son won't wear hats unless they have a brim, and I just spent $12 for one at ShopKo, the cheapest I could find. I started making him one out of a felted sweater, but couldn't figure out what to put in the brim. You've solved both of my problems!

T-Shirt Tuesdays » Wave Your Foam Finger! It's Football Season!
Did I mention that Lo's List loves fall? Well, football is just one more tremendous tradition to add to the list of the season's offerings. There's nothing that I look forward to more than a Sunday afternoon / Monday night yelping at the tube with YZ (damn you Jets offense!) and drinking fancypants Belgian beer. To celebrate the time-honored American sports tradition, here's our roundup of vintage-y, super-soft collegiate football team tees from Retro Brand. All the charm of the prep years minus the dormitories and barfy keg parties.

London Olympics
THE curtain came down on the magnificent London Olympics on Sunday with the United States of America and China dominating the show, rather emphatically, followed by hosts Great Britain that finished third on the medals table. Over 10,000 athletes from 204 countries participated in the extravaganza which was the third hosted by London after the 1908 and 1948 editions. To the credit of the organisers, the Games were kept incident-free and, for once, politics and terrorism took a backseat as the world focused on the triumphs and tears of sport. Michael Phelps, arguably the greatest swimmer in history, soaked up the limelight as he ended his Olympic career with 22 medals, 18 of them gold. Usain Bolt of Jamaica was the other star: his unprecedented defence of his 100m and 200m sprint gold medals capped off with trademark exuberance and style. There were many others who did their respective countries proud by reaching the podium and by entering the record books as the outstanding sportspersons of their time.
The Games, however, were a sad reflection on the state of affairs in Pakistani sport. For a country of over 180 million people to not be able to fetch a single medal in the Olympic Games is shambolic. Even worse perhaps, it was expected. The complete Pakistan contingent comprised just 20 athletes, 16 of which were hockey players, and none could make the finals of their events. Following the dismal faring of the national contingent, there have been calls for replacing people at the helm of sports federations, for better planning and incentives for athletes and uplift of infrastructure. But so long as the will to excel and the determination to achieve something is lacking among the athletes and officials, nothing will really alter the dismal status quo.
Medal rankings are done by number of gold medals won. If their is a tie in gold medals then silver and bronze medals are considered. So Great Britain is ranked third above Russia as it won more gold medals.
Nobody can try to think about the lines of written editorial. We did not agree to win a single medal in London Olympic. What we saw in the London Olympic due to our players, its all the responsibility goes to Pakistan sports board and their officials. They finally decided the plan that they go to the Olympic only for visit and purchaising the gifts and they did it very well.
We Pakistani gave the answer which was media asked, Media showed the many more reports on its television screen, Media asked the common Pakistanies at the road-side, " shall Pakistani players win a single medal in London Olympic?" Every-body gave the answer, NO.
Sports authorities do not feel shame, they show their interest are only spending the huge money which is funding by the government and NGO's for the benefit of sports/games in Pakistan. We do not blame our players, they are holy-cow, they have not any sophisticated facilities like others countries. If we will all agree to win a single medal in upcoming Olympic which will be starting after 4 years in Brazil, than we start the preparation now. -
Kamal, you're wrong here, Britain was 3rd with 29 Gold's compared to Russia's 24, medal tables are ordered by Golds first.
pakistan is the country with immense talent and their is no point for causing the athletes for such a dismal display.. they simply lacked professionalism and perhaps a good coaching staff would have produced the different results!!
Almost every state in India had announced huge prize amount for medal winners and even to those who could enter quarter finals. India did badly still with only six medals but Indians still tried very hard against the world's very best in many games.. With some private sponsorship coming India should do better in future. But the base for all this came from Govt. of India which created excellent facilities and paid for all expenses of sports persons during training. Pakistan can follow similar model.
' -
Unless the mindset in Pakistan is not changed, Pakistan cannot progress. Treat all its citizens as 'Pakistani' first and select in any games on their ability and merits and not on their faith and religion. Hots off to India in this regard.!!!
Please do not be too hard on yourselves, with the State of Play in Pakistan, how can the Athletes and the State be expected to concentrate on Sport. When life improves in Pakistan so will the rest of your activities. Happy Independence Day and EID Mubarak.
State of play in Pakistan is better than any other country, int only requires some favour and attention from higher authorities.
Pakistan couldn't win a medal as the whole world CONSPIRED against it !!!
Good editorial, you're right on Pakistan's terrible state of sports. However one slight correction: Britain was not third in medal count. Russia was third grabbing 82 total medals to Britain's 67 total medals. Actually Russia was very close to China's haul of 87 medals. In fact American athletes dominated the Olympic with a total haul of 104 medals. In the case of Pakistan its pedantry culture and lifestyle and emphasis on religious practices, and lack of talent and individual dedication and hard work in sports that are also responsible for its zero-medal performance.
Dear Kamal, Olympic medal positions are always on the basis of who has the highest number of gold medals and in that count britain was third.

If you do triceps work the traditional way with a free weight, you're leaning back and kicking it back or you're doing it over your head, with behind the neck triceps presses. It often hurts people in their elbows, so try something different. Marcie Fraser demonstrates.
