Specifies the location of the package to be retrieved from the specified server. When using an HTTP server, the package must be in package datastream format.
Specifies the optional keywords to use when you retrieve a package from an HTTP server.
Value Definition
timeout min
The timeout keyword enables you to specify, in minutes, the maximum length of time that is allowed to pass without receipt of data from the HTTP server. If a timeout occurs, the connection is closed, reopened, and resumed. If you specify a timeout value of 0 (zero), the connection is not reopened.
If a timeout reconnection occurs, the package is retried from the beginning of the package and the data that was retrieved prior to the timeout is discarded.

The American Cancer Society is looking for volunteers willing to save lives by driving a few miles.
Everyone knows that a cancer diagnosis comes with many hardships and barriers for the cancer patient. One of the greatest barriers is simply getting to and from appointments and treatments, since patients often cannot afford to drive to appointments or are physically unable to drive themselves.
The American Cancer Society's Road to Recovery program is forming in Fulton County, and needs volunteers who are willing to give a few hours of their time to provide free transportation for cancer patients to and from their treatments. Volunteers must have a reliable vehicle, current driver's license and proof of auto insurance, and must attend a free Road to Recovery training session.
Training for the program is simple, easy, free, and only requires a few hours of time. Volunteer drivers make a big difference in a cancer patient's life by providing them with access to life saving procedures and treatments.
A Road to Recovery Training session is scheduled from noon to 1 p.m. April 26, in the conference room at Defiance Regional Hospital, 1200 Ralston Ave., Defiance. There is no fee to attend, but registration is required. To register, call 888/227-6446, ext. 5104.
Anyone who would like to volunteer but is unable to attend the training session should contact Jessica West, American Cancer Society health initiatives representative, at 888/227-6446, ext. 5104 or send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

CHICAGO, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Toyota Motor North America President Yoshimi Inaba says he thinks "it's a good time to be in the auto business."
Toyota has had its share of difficulties in recent years, from recalls to lawsuits over unintended sudden acceleration claims to the fallout from last March's devastating earthquake and tsunami that rocked Japan.
GM surpassed Toyota and Volkswagen to regain the title as the No. 1 automaker in 2011, with Toyota falling to third place.
But Inaba, who earned his MBA at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Business in the mid-1970s, said the automaker has always embraced the Japanese ethic of hard work over the long haul.
"Over my 40-plus year career, I've never lost my passion for the auto business … and I must tell you … I'm more excited about the industry today than ever. Why? Because after several incredibly tough years, the auto industry is making a strong comeback."
At the end of his luncheon speech Wednesday to The Economic Club of Chicago at the 104th Chicago Auto Show, Inaba was asked what American executives could learn from their Japanese counterparts.
"Take a long-term outlook. Don't worry about this quarter. Stay focused on the real future," he said.
Inaba said Toyota did not lay off a single worker despite last year's natural disasters, which halted production in Japan and the United States, and flooding that disrupted the flow of electronics and parts from Thailand. Toyota's loyal dealers stuck with the company through the troubles, he said.
Toyota had 1,200 dealers 10 years ago when it sold 1 million cars in the United States. Sales have doubled to 2 million vehicles annually, with basically the same 1,200-dealer network, and 19 new or updated Toyota, Lexus and Scion models are anticipated in 2012, including a new fuel-sipping full-size Toyota Avalon sedan.
Nearly half are expected to be hybrid or electric vehicles.
Toyota cut its annual profit outlook in December but revised it upward in early February to a net $2.6 billion for the year ending March 31 -- about half of the company's profit the previous fiscal year.
In a sign of its comeback, Inaba announced Toyota was investing $400 million in its Princeton, Ind., manufacturing plant to build the Highlander hybrid crossover sports-ute, creating 400 jobs. The economic recession waylaid plans to build Prius hybrids at a new plant in Blue Springs, Miss., but Toyota added 2,000 employees there in November.
Toyota has 30,000 U.S. employees and has invested $18 billion in the United States at 10 plants.
Seventy percent of U.S.-made Toyotas -- nine vehicles -- are sold in the United States. Toyota has begun shifting vehicle production from Japan closer to where the vehicles are sold because of the strong yen.
"Our exports of 'made-in-America' products to 21 countries have topped 100,000 vehicles … and we've just begun exporting American Camry sedans and Sienna minivans to South Korea," he said. "So, there are a lot of fuel-efficient vehicles coming to America's highways sooner rather than later."
In his address at the lakefront McCormick Place Exposition Center, Inaba said hybrids were key to making vehicles more environmentally and economically responsible and he predicted hydrogen fuel-cell technology would be a viable alternative fuel in 2015.
Toyota is exhibiting its hydrogen fuel-cell concept Lexus LF-LC at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show which opened to the public Friday and is expected to draw more than 1.2 million visitors during its 10-day run.
"Imagine the fun you could have driving a car like that while doing your part to conserve energy and the environment at the same time," Inaba said of the LF-LC, adding when people see the sleek concept, they want Toyota to build it.
Inaba said compared to the average car, since 2000, Prius has saved 1.1 billion gallons of gas, eliminated 16 million tons of carbon dioxide from the environment and saved $2.9 billion in fuel costs.
"In short, it's a great time to be in the auto business," he said.
Brave new cars
Volvo, now owned by Chinese company Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, also believes in hybrids and electric plug-ins, but for the immediate future, for Swedish automaker is banking on efficient four-cylinder conventional gasoline engines.
"The auto industry is on a very solid footing," John Maloney, President Volvo Cars North America, told the Midwest Automotive Media Association breakfast at the Chicago Auto Show.
He said the industry expects to sell 13.7 million vehicles this year up from 11.5 million in 2010. Volvo sales rose 27 percent.
Maloney said positive signs were:
-- Jobs being added in all sectors
-- Consumer confidence rising
-- Gas prices not seen as a barrier
-- Car registrations up
-- Legislative policy for energy savings regulations
And equally important, fuel efficiency improving.
Volvo's XC60 plug-in hybrid concept would have a range approaching 600 miles before refueling.
"Innovation will be front and center for us," he said, explaining Volvo wants to be associated with safety in the minds of consumers.
"No one will be killed or seriously injured in a Volvo by 2020," Maloney said.
Among Volvo's safety innovations will be animal detection to protect drivers confronted by a deer or a moose on the road. Road collisions with large animals typically end with seriously damaged or totaled vehicles.
Volvo's laser radar and camera-based City Safety system already detects the presence of pedestrians as well as stopped or slow moving vehicles when the Volvo is traveling slower than 19 mph.
"All in all our safety future is very exciting and we're not going to be standing still," Maloney said.
It wouldn't be an auto show without awards for all things automotive.
Television's longest-running automotive magazine, MotorWeek, this week presented its annual Driver's Choice Awards, and the winner was the Ford Mustang Boss 302.
Named "Best of the Year" in the 2012 awards, the rear-wheel drive American muscle car generates 444-horsepower from its 5.0-liter twin-cam V8. The $41,000 Mustang has nostalgic black accents, side stripes and power bulge hood and rides on 19-inch wheels but still can get nearly 20 miles per gallon.
"The Mustang Boss 302 is the best example this year of a car where all aspects of engineering come together," said MotorWeek host and executive producer John Davis. "As a total package, the Mustang Boss 302 is just an outstanding ride."
Winners in other categories were:
-- Best Subcompact Car: Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent
-- Best Compact Car: Subaru Impreza
-- Best Family Sedan: Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima
-- Best Minivan: Honda Odyssey
-- Best Convertible: Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
-- Best Luxury Sedan: Infinity M
-- Best Sport Sedan: Volkswagen Jetta GLI
-- Best Sport Coupe: Cadillac CTS Coupe
-- Best Performance Car: Ford Mustang Boss 302
-- Best Small Utility: Mazda CX-5
-- Best Large Utility: Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango
-- Best Pickup Truck: Ford F-150
-- Best Eco-Friendly: Toyota Prius Family
-- Best Dream Machine: Ferrari 458 Italia, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Porsche 911
The Chicago-based Midwest Automotive Media Association named the 2012 Volkswagen Passat winner of its second annual Family Vehicle of the Year award.
The nominees had to have four-doors and a manufacturers suggested retail price of less than $50,000.
The Tennessee-made Passat beat 10 other contenders including the 2011 Chevrolet Volt hybrid, 2011 Dodge Durango, 2011 Dodge Journey, 2012 Ford Edge, 2012 Ford Focus, 2011 Ford Explorer, 2012 Honda Pilot, 2012 Mazda Mazda5, 2012 Subaru Impreza and 2012 Toyota Camry.

"Nibiru comes back?" The miniskirt making a comeback, sure. But what the hell is "Nibiru"?
According to Zecharia Sitchin, who claims to be an expert in Ancient Sumerian studies (but got his degree in Economic History), Nibiru is a giant planet, the size of Jupiter or larger, on an eccentric orbit that brings it into the inner Solar System about once every 3600 years or so. His decoding of ancient Sumerian and Mayan texts apparently confirm this. The story is that Nibiru will be returning soon... making its closest approach to Earth on December 21, 2012.
Those ancient Sumerians and Mayans... they couldn't hold their empires together, but apparently they were waaaay better astronomers than we are.
I'm not fluent in Mayan or Sumerian, so I have no place criticizing Sitchin's archaeology. But others have, and there is a fairly exhaustive rundown of Sitchin's errors here. But astronomy and astrophysics? Those are subjects I do know a little about. And I can tell you with great confidence that THERE ARE NO GIANT RAMPAGING PLANETS OUT THERE COMING TO EAT YOU. Honest.
Consider this: everything with mass in the universe has a gravitational field. The greater the mass, the stronger the field. That's why apples fall to Earth, and why the Earth doesn't fall towards apples. The Earth orbits the Sun. If the Earth were travelling faster, it would achieve "escape velocity": the speed needed to fly away from the Sun and off into the Cosmos. If the earth were to slow down, it would fall into the Sun. Every planet in the solar system has a gravitational effect on every other planet, though (relative to the huge mass of the Sun) the pull that, say, Neptune has on Venus is pretty weak.
Put another way: when you were born, the mass of the obstetrician had slightly more influence on you than the planet Mars did... but slightly less than that of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system.
If two bodies of sufficient mass pass close enough to each other, they will have an effect on each others orbits around the Sun. Many asteroids have had their orbits affected by the occasional(relatively) close brush with Jupiter: picking up speed and moving out into more distant, less circular orbits around the Sun as a result.
Even though Niburu has such a long orbit, given the age of the Solar System (about 4.5 billion years), it would have passed by Earth (and all the other planets) about one and a quarter million times in the life of the Solar System. And yet despite all these close brushes with a giant planet, Mercury through Neptune remain in relatively stable, circular orbits. The odds of that being the case with a Niburu whipping through the neighborhood that many times is comparable to the odds of making your first break in a game of pool by throwing a bowling ball onto the table... and having all the pool balls drift elegantly back into their original triangular configuration. Try it sometime... with someone else's pool table, ideally.
Furthermore... you'd think that with something that big in our own Solar System, there would be some kind of observational clues... after all, we found Pluto, and it's a tiny, insignificant little thing compared to Uranus and Neptune. Uranus, in turn, is much smaller than Nibiru allegedly is; and Uranus was discovered in the 1700s. As far as observational data for Nibiru: there was a misidentified sighting of a distant galaxy by the IRAS satellite in 1984 that has gotten a lot of coverage as being "Nibiru," and the occasional misidentified sun dog.
The primary reason all of this bothers me... other than it being a sign of how damned bad public education really is these days... is that there seem to be a lot of people out there exploiting the fear of Nibiru Doom for profit.
Like these people. Or these people. Or this guy. But most of all: THIS guy.
And regardless of which religious tradition one follows, or which ancient texts on bases one's beliefs on... most faiths agree that hoodwinking the gullible for profit is a bad thing. And I agree.
So: no need to panic. The only threat to the world in 2012... or now... is human nature itself.

If the Jets weren't going to make the postseason, perhaps it was best for their long-term viability and the development of their young players to be eliminated now and let the younger players develop. Last year, they closed out the season with three straight losses, going into the final game of the season in Miami at 8-7 and with a chance of making the playoffs. All the starters played and the younger players watched from the sideline. Now with the playoffs out of reach, a number of young Jets players are eyeing some experience.
Take for example massive nose tackle Damon Harrison, who has been active on game day a handful of times this year and could be again these final two games.
"You always go in every week hoping and preparing that you will have a big role with the team on game day, sure," Harrison told The Jets Blog. "But the amount I've grown over this year, what I've learned and how I've developed, just getting into games helps me a lot. I've grown so much this year as a football player with all the great guys around here teaching me and everything."
Harrison acknowledged that experience like the kind he could get in the final two games could help heading into next year. Still a bit of a project, Harrison came out of NAIA program William Penn as an undrafted free agent and through hard work and tremendous upside made the roster.
Another player like Harrison who is getting better and improving each day is Hayden Smith. The former rugby player is making the transition to the NFL without the benefit of college football and he's making some adaptations. If he is active this Sunday against the Chargers, it would be the fourth time this season that he will have seen game action. Smith's other action came in a home loss to Miami, on the road in a win at Jacksonville and this past Monday night in the loss at Tennessee.
"I'm just learning so much and the best way to learn is to play in a game, obviously," Smith told The Jets Blog. "But you go out there to play and win and every time we do that, we want to win the game. That's more important and to me, that is certainly more important than things like playing time."
Smith of course is hoping to register his first NFL catch sometime soon.
"A catch would be nice," Smith said with a laugh. "But a win is more important."

Molecular Devices Announces ImageXpress Micro XL High-Content Screening System
13 Sep, 2011, 13:00 BST
SUNNYVALE, California, September 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Molecular Devices, LLC., a leader in bioanalytical systems for drug discovery, life science research, and bioassay/test development, today announced the launch of the XL model of the ImageXpress® Micro System. Improving upon the existing ImageXpress Micro Widefield High-Content Screening System, the ImageXpress Micro XL System offers researchers the benefit of imaging twice the sample area to deliver statistically relevant results in half the time.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100406/SF82092LOGO)
Incorporating state-of-the-art detector and illumination technologies, the system can capture cellular resolution images using a single-field that encompasses one 384 well, maximizing content up to 2-fold of what is acquired with standard camera HCS systems. This generous increase in field-of-view allows users to image twice the number of objects per image, minimizing the need to tile when capturing sizeable objects that span across the sample. The new MetaXpress® 4 Software complements the ImageXpress Micro XL System by increasing image analysis speed 100%, allowing acquisition and analysis of greater than 10 million cells per hour.
Maintaining the most extensive sample and objective compatibility, the ImageXpress Micro XL System raises the bar as the most flexible widefield high content screening system on the market. Combined with the longevity of a 10,000+ hour light source, researchers can feel confident in system robustness, while gaining a greater peace-of-mind the instrument will grow with their expanding applications.
"The launch of the ImageXpress Micro XL System is a shining example of Molecular Devices' ability to support researchers' efforts to run more screens and perform hit selection faster. Whether you are searching for rare events or investigating multifaceted cell signaling pathways, we are excited to offer twice the data points per image to decrease your time to perform cellular- and high-resolution screens" said Jennifer McKie, Senior Marketing Director, BioImaging at Molecular Devices.
"Assay window and reliability are enhanced with 3-log dynamic range and <5% CV for intensities across the plate, making certain your scientific breakthroughs are picture perfect for research publications" stated Jennifer McKie. "We believe these enhancements ensure researchers are equipped with the latest high content imaging technology to be at the forefront of drug discovery and cellular research."
The ImageXpress Micro XL System will be showcased at the MipTec, September 20 - 22 2011, Basel, Switzerland (Booth D33). For more information regarding the ImageXpress Micro XL System, go to http://www.HighThroughputImaging.com/screening/

Warranty Policy
If you purchased a Merlin frame and are experiencing a frame issue you may be eligible for warranty repair. Please read the Merlin Worldwide Limited Warranty and if you feel your frame qualifies, please contact us, as per the information below, to assist us with the processing of your frame warranty claim. In order to complete your claim you will need to send us legible copies of the sales receipt showing your name, the Merlin frame in question, the date of sale and the name of the retailer. If you have this documentation in your possession please proceed below:
Merlin Worldwide Limited Policy
Merlin warrants to the original retail purchaser ("you") that a Merlin frame is free from defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the frame from the date of the original retail purchase. This is valid to the original purchaser.
Warranty Limitations
This warranty is not transferable to a subsequent purchaser. Merlin's sole obligation under this warranty is to either, at its discretion: (1) repair the claimed defect at no charge, (2) exchange the frame with a frame that is new or which is at least functionally equivalent to the original frame, or (3) a credit amount, determined by Merlin towards the purchase of a new frame. Merlin must be notified in writing of any claim under this warranty within 60 days of any claimed lack of conformity of the frame.
The duration of any implied warranty or condition, of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise, on this frame shall be limited to the duration of the express warranty set forth above. In no event shall Merlin be liable for any loss, inconvenience or damage, whether direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise, resulting from breach of any express or implied warranty or condition, of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise with respect to this frame, except as set forth herein. Some states or countries do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts and some do not allow exclusions or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which may vary, from location to location. This warranty will be interpreted pursuant to the laws of the United States. The original English language version/meaning of this warranty controls over all translations and Merlin is not responsible for any errors in translation of this warranty or any product instructions. No company or person (including but not limited to employees or agents of Merlin) are authorized to modify, enlarge or extend this warranty in any way or to make any other warranties, expressed or implied on behalf of Merlin. This warranty is not intended to confer any additional legal, jurisdictional or warranty rights to you other that those set forth herein or required by law. If any portion of this warranty is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such finding will not invalidate any other provision.
This warranty policy represents the express warranty provided by Merlin for current purchases. The warranty policy in existence at the time you purchased your frame is controlling as of the time your warranty claim is made, and may differ from these terms. If you are unsure what the warranty policy was at the time you purchased your frame, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com and we will provide you with that information.
To Obtain Warranty Service
Consumer claims for warranty service must be made directly to; Attn. Merlin Warranty Dept. via email@example.com. Any postage, insurance, or shipping costs incurred in sending your frame for service are your responsibility. This includes return shipping. Merlin will not be responsible for frames lost or damaged in shipping. You are responsible for the cost of removing ALL parts and components off the bike including fork and bottom bracket races/bearings before your frame is shipped to Merlin for warranty examination and or possible repair.
Warranty Determination
1. Submit warranty claim via Attn.: Warranty Dept. via email@example.com .
2. Once we contact you we will request digital photos of the damaged areas and the entire bike with all components still attached to it. We encourage that you send digital photos of the frame and all damage before stripping the bike down to ensure that the frame is (1) warrantable and (2) repairable.
3. You will also need to email, mail or fax us a legible copy of the your original proof of purchase showing the (a) date purchased (2) frame serial number (3) retailer name and (4) your name and or address;
4. Once the foregoing is completed, we will try to make the decision that the frame is (1) warrantable and (2) repairable using only photos you send. If we cannot you will need to strip the frame down and send it into us using trackable shipping (such as FedEx or UPS)
5. Once we make a decision on the warranty we will advise you via phone or email. If not warrantable we will advise on non-warranty options. If not repairable we will advise of options in that case as well.
6. If the frame is both covered under warranty and repairable you will be issued a return authorization number. DO NOT send in a frame without that number as that is the way the frame is tracked. RA numbers may also be issued in some cases where the bike must be inspected personally. Issuance of an RA number does not imply the frame is covered under warranty or repairable unless we indicate that in a written communication to you.
Only Merlin may determine if a frame is warrantable. If the frame is not covered under warranty, all replacement, repair, and shipping costs are responsibility of the customer. Merlin cannot return unrepairable unwarranted frames to the consumer if they are unsafe to use in their unrepaired condition. Merlin will make the final decision on whether or not shipping charges will be charged for the shipping of the repaired or replacement frame.
At no time may any retailer or distributor make representations of what is covered or not covered under this warranty without express written permission from Merlin. Should a retailer or distributor replace a frame before consulting Merlin, it is at the sole discretion of the retailer or distributor and they may not be reimbursed by Merlin. When a frame or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes property of the customer and the returned product becomes the property of Merlin, which may destroy it.
Warranty on Repaired Products
If your frame is repaired, the repair work will be warranted for one (2) year from the date of the repair under the terms of this warranty.
Warranty Exclusions
This warranty does not cover the following:
• Frames that have been modified, neglected or poorly maintained, used for commercial purposes, misused or abused or involved in accidents. It is your responsibility to regularly examine the frame to determine the need for normal service or replacement.
• Damage occurring during shipment of the frames (such claims must be presented directly to the shipper).
• Products that are covered by another seller or manufacturer's warranty; this Merlin warranty does not extend, modify or replace any other warranty. Parts made by other manufacturers will be covered by the warranties of the respective manufacturers, please address your claim to them. (Suspension forks and rear suspension units, are warranted only by the manufacturer of the item)
• Frames whose serial number or other identifying marks have been altered, defaced, removed or are otherwise unreadable.
• Frames that are purchased used, or in not-new condition.
• Damage to frames resulting from improper assembly (i.e. improper torque values used), repair or refinishing (i.e. sanding, painting, refinishing or the techniques used), the use or installation of parts or accessories not compatible with the original intended use of the frame, or the failure to follow the product warnings, installation and usage instructions. This warranty does not apply if the original finish has been modified or removed.
• Frames purchased at, installed, adjusted and or assembled by retailers not authorized by Merlin.
• Damage or deterioration to the surface finish, paint, aesthetics or appearance of the frame (cosmetic blemishes) or damage due to UV ray exposure, sweat or salt air, corrosive mud or other chemicals.
• The labor required to remove and/or re-fit and re-adjust the frame covered by this warranty or any product that it is attached to.
• Any costs associated with returning or shipping warranted or non-warranted frames.
• Normal wear to the frame. Components may have symptoms of wear in less than their warranted time frame depending on amount of use, type of use and other conditions. This includes frames that have reached the end of their normal life expectancy before the warranted time frame expires.
• Commercial claims made by any merchant, retailer, commercial seller or reseller (not on behalf of an individual consumer).
• Frames purchased through unauthorized distribution channels (i.e. EBay or via an unauthorized internet seller, swap meet or private party) or frames originally intended to be sold in a country other than the one you purchased them in or from (i.e. grey market goods)
• Rear racks, chain/seatstay mounted bike trailers and kick stands may not be installed or used on Extralight or XLM frames. Use of aforementioned items will void the warranty.
• Any frames for which the consumer does not follow the warranty procedures outlined above. Copyright © 2018, Merlin Metal Works, Inc., d/b/a Merlin Bikes

At this time of the year I search for ideas of gifts I can make for friends, teachers, my husband's co-workers, and others who have affected our life in a positive way during the year. As I make the gifts, I am filled with gratitude for them... and hope they will feel it as they receive the gift. My requirements: the gift should not take hours to put together, it must be creative, and its materials must be easily found in nearby stores.
This year I made a Christmas wall hanging decoration depicting the Holy Family: Joseph and Mary holding baby Jesus. This handmade holiday gift fits my requirements, and its design can be changed to suit your taste (or the season).
Here is what you will need:
Wooden embroidery hoop, 5 inches
Background fabric
Scraps of blue, red, and green wool
Contrasting thread for applique
Scraps of tone-on-tone white fabric
Pearl bead
Small red button, medium star button
Burlap string
Red yarn
Glue gun, pinking shears
|Using a blanket stitch, machine applique the red rectangle, close to where the burlap string lays.
|Without breaking the thread and changing the stitch to a regular straight stitch, move on to the blue wool rectangle. Change back to blanket stitch and applique the piece, going over the burlap string to secure it in place.
|This is what the back of your work should look like - neat, no straying threads.
|Pin the green wool rectangle across the blue and red ones, making sure to cover the piece of burlap string and the straight stitches you made when going from one rectangle to the other.
|Secure yoyo to background fabric with a few small stitches.
|Do the same for Mary's head, and then attach the pearl bead next to the green rectangle, as the baby's head.
|Tie the burlap string across the figures with a double knot and bow.
|Center embroidery hoop over the scene to determine its position...
|... and hoop the fabric.
|With pinking shears, cut fabric to within a 1/4" of hoop.
|Apply glue to hoop and fold fabric onto it.
|Trimming the fabric with pinking shears will prevent fraying, and the back still looks neat.
|Glue red button onto center of the burlap bow...
|... and glue star next to the metal fixture of the hoop.
|Cut about 9" of yarn, feed it through the metal fixture of the hoop, tie two knots and trim it. It is done!
I made 12 of these, using different colored stars on each one. I hope you like this idea and have fun making these wall decorations this Christmas! Then, think about Valentine's Day, Easter, Fourth of July... just use appropriate designs and wool colors!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Internal Revenue Service in 2012 reviewed allegations that conservative Tea Party groups had come under extra scrutiny by the tax service's agents and found bias against conservatives, Republican members of Congress said on Tuesday.
"At no point did you or anyone else at IRS inform Congress of the results of these findings," Republican Darrell Issa, chairman of the House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wrote in a letter to Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS' tax exempt organizations unit.
Lerner publicly apologized about the extra scrutiny on Friday at a conference, setting off a storm of controversy.
Republicans probing the IRS scrutiny said the tax agency's officials informed them of the 2012 review in a meeting on Monday.
IRS officials also told Republicans that 471 groups had been placed under additional scrutiny as part of the agency's process, Issa said, citing the meeting.
"It is unclear whether conservative and Tea Party groups are continuing to be targeted even today," Issa said in the letter.
Issa, whose committee has subpoena power, requested a list of documents from the IRS related to his panel's probe.
The U.S. Treasury's Inspector General for Tax Administration is expected soon to issue a report on the allegations of bias against conservatives.

The members of the Carolina Animal Protection Society (CAPS) sincerely thank everyone who supported us through our Christmas Tree of Lights in the Jacksonville Mall this past holiday season.
To the editor:
The members of the Carolina Animal Protection Society (CAPS) sincerely thank everyone who supported us through our Christmas Tree of Lights in the Jacksonville Mall this past holiday season.
Once again, for the 14th year, our tree honoring so many beloved pets was a huge success. Your kind support has made it possible for us to provide medical care and, of course, spaying and neutering for many homeless animals.
When we place a dog or cat in an approved foster home, that animal has had blood tests, checking for heartworm disease and vaccinations, before being placed. We continue to pay for all the veterinary visits that are necessary, and we will also provide food. As CAPS is an unsheltered humane society, we must depend upon the kindness of people who are willing to volunteer to foster a dog or cat. In return, you will find a special joy in knowing you are helping this wonderful, intelligent animal on his journey to finding his forever home and you have saved a life. We will take care of the expenses if you will give this innocent animal the shelter and love he deserves.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Amanda Hickey for her excellent article in the Jan. 12 edition of The Daily News headlined, �Working together to find a home for animals.� It was very informative on the many aspects of animal welfare in Onslow County.
All of us should be most grateful to Alan Davis, director of the Onslow County Animal Services, for the many improvements he has made and continues to make to benefit all the animals that are held at the county shelter. He is trying to educate the public regarding proper care for dogs and cats � especially getting them spayed or neutered. Until people understand the huge importance of spay-neuter, their pets will reproduce, may suffer increased cases of cancer, and many more innocent, intelligent animals will have to be euthanized.
There are numerous low-cost spay-neuter clinics nearby. Call CAPS at 910-455-9682 for help in locating these clinics.
After listening to our message, just press the number we give you for the dog line or the cat line and leave us your name and phone number, and we will contact you. You may also call this number to contact us about being a foster home, which we desperately need; or please visit our website at capsrescue.com.
I also want to thank Mike McHugh for his column, also in the Jan. 12 edition of The Daily News and headlined, �State legislature needs to take action on �puppy mills.� The column addressed the importance of getting the puppy-mill bill, House Bill 930, passed by the Senate this spring.
It is very sad that North Carolina is so far behind most other states in getting important bills passed that deal with improving the lives of dogs and cats.
In this day and age, it is difficult to comprehend the lack of strong laws that fit the crime. Heartless, cruel people who abuse animals deserve much tougher penalties or they will continue down their ruthless path that may eventually come to including humans as well. This spring and fall, let�s be sure to elect people who support animal welfare laws and want to make this Earth a better place to live for all of God�s creatures.
Once again, our appreciation goes to all of you who support CAPS. We thank you for being responsible, kind people who love your animal friends and want to help those dogs and cats that have been abused or abandoned.
Gail B. Whipple
Editor�s note: Gail B. Whipple is founder and vice president of the Carolina Animal Protection Society.

Bookshare is a site that provides free digital books to those whose disabilities make reading a traditional printed book very hard or impossible. Since Bookshare just celebrated 10 years in business, we thought it would be a great opportunity to highlight the great resources the site provides for students with disabilities.
Bookshare is completely legal, as it operates under the Chafee Amendment. This amendment is an exception to US copyright law that allows books to be freely distributed to those with certain disabilities, as long as the books are in a format that accommodates those disabilities. Bookshare serves those with visual impairments, physical disabilities (those that prevent one from holding a book or turning pages, for example), as well as those with severe learning or reading disabilities.
To accommodate different disabilities, the books come in a few formats. Bookshare supplies ebooks with additional text-to-speech, braille, and large print options. Most books are scanned and turned into ebooks by Bookshare volunteers, while some are even donated directly from publishing companies. Once you become a member of Bookshare, you are free to browse and download the entire ebook collection.
With hundreds of thousands of accessible, print-impaired-friendly books, Bookshare is an incredibly valuable resource for students, teachers, or parents.

The health of our economy relies on people finding and keeping jobs. If there are electronic-record systems that are preventing qualified people from getting hired or staying employed, they need to be fixed.
That's why it's important to take note of a report from the National Employment Law Project, which estimates that 1.8 million workers every year are subjected to FBI background checks that contain incorrect or incomplete information.
"As millions of workers struggle to navigate a still-challenging job market, the FBI must avoid creating wrongful barriers that cause unnecessary job loss and financial harm," the report's authors wrote. "The FBI is more than a mere receptacle of information; the imprimatur of the FBI marks the records as authoritative and trustworthy."
Data collection is a fact of life. But when that data is wrong or out of date, it's often up to the individual to get things straightened out. So when it comes to our electronic records, we can be found guilty until we prove ourselves innocent. In the time it takes to clear our names, it can cost us money, a loan or a job.
When credit bureaus are criticized for errors in people's credit files, they often shift the blame to the creditors for providing them with incomplete or inaccurate information. "No, not my fault," they say. "We didn't generate the incorrect information, we just collect it." Yet they still get paid to pass it along, whether it's right or wrong.
The information in your credit reports is used to create credit scores, which can affect your ability to get a credit card, a home loan, an apartment or even a job. Just recently, a federal jury awarded an Oregon woman more than $18 million after she sued the credit bureau Equifax for failing to correct major errors in her file. A Federal Trade Commission study released earlier this year found that 26 percent of the 1,001 participants surveyed identified at least one potentially material error, such as a late or missed payment. When information was successfully disputed and modified, 13 percent of participants saw a change in their credit scores.
The bureaus looked at the positive side of their error rate, that the vast majority of files don't contain mistakes. However, even small percentages with errors can translate to hundreds of thousands of people affected.
About 17 million FBI background checks were conducted for employment and licensing purposes last year, six times the number conducted a decade ago, according to the National Employment Law Project.
In 2006, a report by the U.S. attorney general found that the FBI's Interstate Identification Index system, from which background reports are created, fails to include final disposition information for about 50 percent of its records.
Many employers are required by federal, state or local laws to obtain FBI background checks. Access to FBI-maintained criminal history information is governed by a patchwork of state and federal statutes, the AG report said. The checks are processed through state record repositories. The point is to screen out people or evaluate the risk of hiring folks who aren't suitable to work in certain positions in the interest of protecting employees and the public. Yet, the interests of the job applicants or current employees subjected to background checks that turn out to be flawed need to be protected as well.
"Individuals who do have a criminal record want reasonable assurance that the information is accurate and complete, that they have a meaningful opportunity to see the information and correct any inaccuracies, and that the information is used fairly in the screening process and does not unfairly exclude them from employment opportunities when they are otherwise qualified for a position," the AG report said.
The FBI said it works with states to pull the criminal information. But the agency says the states are primarily responsible for ensuring a record is accurate and complete.
Enough of the bureaucracy, we are talking about people's livelihoods here. I agree with the National Employment Law Project that both the states and the FBI should be held accountable for the accuracy of the information.
If there is an update on a file, it should be included in whatever information is ultimately given to employers. It's not enough to say an individual has a right to correct bad information. It's often too late by then. With so many job applicants, employers will just move on to someone else.
Companies and government agencies need to stop passing the buck on this issue.

Many directors have spoken openly about the difficulties of working with child actors. Every once in awhile, however, a child actor brings forth a tour de force nobody saw coming and puts those directors to shame. Today, we've compiled our ten favorite U.S. performances of all time by a child actor.
There are plenty of fantastic performances to choose from, but few have the power to truly take over a movie. On the other hand, how many times have you cringed at every word spoken by an unseasoned child actor?
Still, experience is irrelevant in this situation. Regardless of the number of Gerber baby food commercials a youngster has starred in, their age dictates they have yet to put 'the real work in' as the saying goes. Expectations are almost always low and that is what makes the following performances so powerful. For example, one actor on the list hadn't acted in his life prior to his role, while another had 32 performances under her belt.
Narrowing any list to ten can be difficult at times. That's why we've also established a few honorable mentions:
Freddie Highmore's emotional turn in Finding Neverland deserved to make the top ten, but I just couldn't muster up a spot for him. Rory Culkin (Mean Creek) and McCauley Culkin (The Good Son) both gave their parents something to be proud of in their respective roles. But the following ten performances were unmatched and hinted at bright futures for the young actors responsible - provided they stay(ed) away from the usual problems that have plagued many child stars.
Update from the Editor: We've received some great feedback from readers with suggestions on young actors that they say should be on the list, so we're going to do something unusual - We've compiled the suggestions and will offer readers the chance to vote for their three top picks (Leo DiCaprio and Ellen Page are not in the list because they were in their very late teens when the movies folks recommend them for were made). We'll then update our list based on the results:
[poll id="65"]
10. Max Records - Where The Wild Things Are
A film based on a book for children is a good place for a young actor to shine. But nobody knew what to expect when young Max Records was cast as the main character in Where The Wild Things Are. This rookie actor now had the fate of one of the most beloved children's books of all time resting on his every move. Between Records and director Spike Jonze, the production was a shot in the dark.
But boy did they pull it off. Jonze created an environment on and off camera that Records could thrive in. The director had all cast and crew members with children use the production as a daycare center of sorts. There were kids on set at all times and it not only let the crew stay focused on their true goal, but Max Records was always in the right mindset.
Because the core of his performance was a result of a well-run set, Records drops a little lower on the list. Still, when the cameras were rolling, Records brought every emotion to the screen from fear to adoration. He gets some serious credit for opening himself up to the cameras and the audience.
9.Chloe Moretz - Kick-Ass
While Kick-Ass didn't pump the box office with money, nobody left the theater thinking about anybody other than Hit Girl. Maybe it is a testament to the character and not the performance, but the two should go hand-in-hand. The unbelievable charisma of Chloe Moretz was unmatched by any other actor in the film. And we're talking about a girl who went toe-to-toe with Nic Cage and (literally) Mark Strong.
Instead of resorting to the obvious and ultimately awkward sex appeal of a female hero, Moretz went with a mysterious badass persona. Hit Girl is the reason Kick-Ass lives up to its name. The other characters and the movie's style are enjoyable on multiple levels, but without Moretz's turn as Hit Girl the film just doesn't have the electricity it needed. She left the humor up to her Big Daddy (Nic Cage) and kept a straight face the whole way.
Moretz is definitely a force to be reckoned with, reminding us of a young Jodie Foster (see below) without the overwhelming sexuality. Moretz was fun to watch in (500) Days of Summer and should be even more graceful in Let Me In. Hit Girl was her coming-out character and the world will be able to recognize her because of an off-the-charts charisma that no other female youngster can match today.
8. Jodie Foster - Taxi Driver
Needless to say, Taxi Driver is a pretty hardcore movie. Robert De Niro's pinpoint performance as Travis Bickle is frighteningly real. Even alone onscreen he needs no help to engage the audience. But the film really hits its stride when a 12-year-old child prostitute named Iris (Jodie Foster) gets into Bickle's cab in an attempt to escape her pimp (Harvey Keitel). Foster has been a mesmerizing onscreen persona ever since.
It is Iris who ultimately causes the true divide in Travis Bickle's mind. She serves as a positive distraction, but also a driving force for his intensity. His disgust for those around him explodes when he realizes how her disgusting pimp has been treating her. Foster is tremendously believable in her role and helps Bickle just as much as he helps her.
It's no real surprise that Foster was great, as this was already her 33rd role as an actress. At only age 14, she already had more performances than some have in their entire careers. While Taxi Driver was not her most memorable role, it certainly caught the attention of the world and earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
7. Henry Thomas - E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
When people think of E.T.'s child prodigy, the name Drew Barrymore tends to come up. While she deserves the recognition, E.T. was actually owned by another child actor - Henry Thomas. Spielberg may have been searching for the next great star, but it would be another five years until Empire of the Sun that he jump-started a superstar career. Still, Thomas was everything E.T. needed from its human protagonist, Elliott.
Thomas was forced with the task of acting alongside an awkwardly-shaped alien while treating it like a household pet. But E.T. was not just a dog in alien form. It was up to Thomas to convey the emotion of having a secret you want to share with the world. The movie is about more than fitting in - it is about love, doing the right thing and the protective nature of a young man with his first true friend.
The role didn't call for a teary-eyed kid who had to steal the show from E.T. Instead, the brilliance of Thomas' performance is in the subtlety. He knew the movie wasn't about him as much as an alien's attempt and fitting in while surviving. Elliott was our only way to truly connect and ask, "What would I do in this situation?"
6. Haley Joel Osment - The Sixth Sense
As Cole Sear in The Sixth Sense, Haley Joel Osment not only became a household name, but also gave us one of the most abused movies quote of all time. While that famous line from anybody's mouth would sound just as great, you have to give Osment some credit for his delivery - there's is now no other real way to say, "I see dead people."
Yet, that line was only one of an entire film. The emotional range of Osment's performance is what drives the story. He is so afraid that it bleeds through the screen and into our hearts as viewers.
It's hard to pinpoint if his character reactions are real or if Osment was simply that good. He never really amounted to much, even with a plethora of other great opportunities at a young age. Either way, he brought M. Night Shyamalan's thriller to life and pumped just enough emotion into it to make it feel like a complete film. He even got an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, although I would argue he is the main character.
5. Dakota Fanning - Hounddog
Hounddog is a film that most people missed, but needs to be seen. Dakota Fanning's career is filled with childhood hits and evidence of a superstar. It would be difficult to truly bash any of her performances, though I never did see any of the Twilight movies. Hounddog deals with some very serious issues and puts Fanning right in the heart of it all.
The movie follows Lewellen (Fanning) through an unspeakably rough phase in her childhood. She is tormented from many angles, but mostly by the absence of a mother and a struggling relationship with her father. Yet, through the sounds of Elvis Presley's music, she finds a comfort zone that allows her to grow emotionally. The music is all she has and when she discovers Elvis is coming to town, she will do anything for a ticket.
In her desperation, a group of young boys take advantage of Lewellen and offer a trade - Elvis tickets for a nude performance of his hit single, "Hounddog." The controversial scene ensues when she is eventually raped and left without a ticket. The emotions run high in Hounddog and it is not for people weak stomachs. However, thanks to Dakota Fanning's riveting performance, it is a movie worth watching. Without her it could have easily fallen into the depths of mediocrity, but it excels with every moment Fanning is on screen.
4. Kirsten Dunst - Interview with a Vampire
It's easy to see how Kirsten Dunst didn't even make the poster for Interview with a Vampire back in 1994. She was a virtual unknown and the cast sported names like Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas, Stephen Rea and Christian Slater. But once the credits rolled, everybody wanted to know who that young girl who sizzled onscreen was (pun intended).
Being forced to star in the between Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise is a difficult task for any actor, especially an 11-year-old. Somehow, Dunst grabbed your attention in all of her scenes. Her intensity and malice were a perfect example of the dark, corrupting side of the vampire affliction. She was a reminder that despite the romanticism of the condition, vampires are stone-cold killers, no matter how young or innocent they may look. That Dunst was even able to go there at such a young age (and so convincingly) is a testament to her accomplishment - and even Roger Ebert praised it as such. She was creepy, exciting, intense and mature, all while acting alongside two of Hollywood's biggest stars.
3. Bailee Madison - Brothers
Brothers flew under the radar, even with the talented cast of Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire. But like many of the great child performances, the youngster in the cast had no problem succeeding amongst the bigger names. Maybe it was the unexpected surprise that made her so engaging, but Bailee Madison quite simply stole the entire film from three of the best young actors in Hollywood.
Every scene she is in will tempt you to tears. Her face melts with every emotion and sadness is her best. As a scared child of a scarred war veteran, she puts fear in our eyes as a viewer. This was not just another child actor. Bailee just might be another Meryl Streep, only in a 10-year-old frame.
I challenge anybody to watch the dinner scene and not break down as this innocent-faced little girl pumps attitude in her father's direction. With every verbal lashing he gives her, she returns it with a 1,000-yard stare and an intensity unmatched by any child actor today.
2. Christian Bale - Empire of the Sun
When we know of actors strictly for their roles as adults, it is easy to forget they were once child stars. Christian Bale is one such actor. Steven Spielberg struck gold with the 12-year-old from Wales and the film is a heart-wrenching tale of triumph at every level. I can't speak highly enough of Empire of the Sun. Luckily, all I need to discuss is the brilliant performance turned in by a young Christian Bale.
While Spielberg loves working with children, I can't say he's brought many young characters to the screen that are as engrossing as Bale was. However, the 1987 war epic isn't really about war as much as a child caught in the thick of it. Thanks to Bale's turn as Jamie Graham, everything works: He is emotional, tireless, committed, engaging and pulls on your heart strings with the tenacity of Oscar bait.
It's almost inhumane that he wasn't granted an Oscar nomination. Spielberg puts Bale and his character, Jamie, through so much in 152-minutes it is amazing Bale kept his head on straight. He is as mature as any child onscreen and puts most adult actors to shame, including everybody else in Empire of the Sun.
1. Natalie Portman – The Professional
It's easy to forget Natalie Portman isn't even 30 yet. The petite beauty is wise beyond her years and it feels like she's been in movies a lot longer than 16 years. Her first major role would have been just as brilliant even if she were a seasoned child star. Yet, this was her first "real" role in a movie.
Most of the performances on this list excel because of the maturity of each youngster's character. Sometimes a role is written that way, while others are the work of a dedicated child actor. Portman's work in The Professional (a.k.a. Leon) is both. It's hard to imagine what you'd do in Mathilda's situation. From the start she can't stand her family, yet when they are murdered she is overwhelmed with emotion. A typical character might simply mourn the loss of their family simply because it's the usual thing to do. In Leon, Mathilda doesn't care about her dead father, sister or mother-in-law. It is the death of an innocent boy, her younger brother, that brings her to tears.
As the film progresses, her balance of vengeance and progressive maturity is fascinating to watch. The fact she is now in the hands of a quasi-mentally-challenged hired assassin makes her resurgence as a lost soul even more powerful. It truly is all the work of Portman, though; she knew her character backwards and forwards, giving her a realistic quality that bleeds through the screen.
Her face contorts with every emotion, her lust for revenge comes through with an unsuspecting humor and her sex appeal is as uncomfortable as it is realistic. She just fits so snug into this character of Mathilda that it's hard to tell if she is even acting at times - but there is no doubt she portrayed a character that has experienced something way beyond Portman's real life. It truly was the best child performance I can think of, even to this day.
That's our list of great performances from child actors - let us know if you agree, disagree (or if there are any performances you think we missed), by leaving a comment below. Thanks for reading.
