It's a disease
I really must get to the machine. I'm still waiting for the husband to move it and the rest of my sewing supplies into my new space after all the room shuffling that's been happening around here.
Have you been tempted by the Spotlight or Lincraft sales recently?? Please tell me it's not just me!
9 comments:
I'm gagging to get to that spotlight sale! How much fabric do you buy when stashing with nothing particular in mind... I've been going for 1.5 metres, but wonder what other people do?ReplyDelete
How can it be - I didn't know about that sale! Aargh - maybe it was just NSW....anyway, today I've been stocking up on amazing yarns at the Quilt and Craft fair - I bought some beautiful things! And a Bernette sewing machine for my 8 year old (gulp).ReplyDelete
You've been doing such great sewing lately! Very inspirational and I look forward to seeing what becomes of your knits in particular.
And I usually buy 2.5 metres when I'm stashing....
I have your disease too & if you ever get cured, infection from a contageous friend happens easily. I've hit the 15% off Lincraft, then it's evil aftermath 50% off version just last week, so great for plains & linings, it's brilliant. I couldn't get to Spotlight, it's in NSW & i live on the other side of the ACT, so even 40% off couldn't draw me in. That said, my husband was in Spotlight in QLD (buying a cheap quilt to take to war, as you do) & i asked him to acost anyone in the yarn area for ideas & just surprise me. Apparently i made him confused & he could no longer work out what quilt he wanted anymore. Those fabrics sales are cruel mistresses, love PosieReplyDelete
Hi Cateoh. You have a no-reply blogger account so can't respond personally to you. In response to your question. I try to never buy without some sort of project in mind. Even if it's a loose idea. Whether the project happens or not is another thing. I sent this to a friend the other day:ReplyDelete
Fabric guidelines: 2.5 for a full dress. 2 for a slim dress. 1.2 for A line skirt. 1.5 for full skirt. 1.2 – 1.5 for a top. 1.5 – 1.8 for a top with sleeves.
I'm notoriously tight with my buying though. I like the challenge of trying to make something fit when it doesn't. Mostly I can get away with smaller amounts, but sometimes I get caught out and can't make something I want to.
Happy shopping!
I am avoiding Spotlight after buying a number of patterns this week (Simplicity sale.... Love!) but Lincraft had 50% off fabric and patterns and I am weak. I did have my eye on that rayon you bought as well as a Japanese tana lawn in navy.... But I must desist until I sew at least some of what I have!ReplyDelete
I always have a project in mind and I take pictures of my patterns with my phone so I always have the requirements on me. Easier than remembering!
BTW, I made some of your fingerless gloves for my step daughter and she loves them! They are good for school because she can still write and type ;)
Oh yeah, I think I did it correctly but I put a link to your blog in my last entry when I showed the finished gloves.... I'm not sure of "professional" protocol but I just finished my degree and am very sure what plagiarism is! Hope this is cool!ReplyDelete
I dropped $110.00 quite easily on Friday even with two whingy kids in tow. I totally agree - it is a disease. I know I dont need any more, but it is all so lovely. Plus - when it is 40% off already and then they give you an extra 10% coupon, there is no point in trying to resist.ReplyDelete
I didn't realise that about my blogger account, will fix it!
I've transferred your advice into my phone notes so I'll always have a guide. I also am very tight with my pattern lay out- I can't stand waste, and so am often doing hems and facings out of another fabric! It makes cutting a bit of a headache sometimes, but I think it's worth it
I have been resisting because I don't need anything and I think it's pretty rude that they didn't have the sale when I was last there and indulged in Denise Schmidt...not happy spotlight...and I figure I have to be good after buying 6m of Liberty! I am now in fabric lockdown!ReplyDelete
Thanks for leaving a comment. I love reading them, but don't always have the time to respond. Please email me if you have a pressing question :)

After the failure of the Chartist petition of 1839, and twelve months in prison between 1839 and 1840, Chartist leader William Lovett grew disillusioned with the solely political focus of the movement. He moved instead to an emphasis on educating the working classes who were its potential constituency and beneficiaries. To that end, he moved from Birmingham to London, opened a bookshop in Tottenham Court Road, and established a National Society for Promoting the Political and Social Improvement of the People. This was effectively a self-help organisation, which sought to improve the conditions of the workers through education rather than political campaigns.

Danger in the air: Automation dulls pilot skill
WASHINGTON (AP) - Pilots' "automation addiction" has eroded their flying skills to the point that they sometimes don't know how to recover from stalls and other mid-flight problems, say pilots and safety officials.
The weakened skills have contributed to hundreds of deaths in airline crashes in the last five years.
Some 51 "loss of control" accidents occurred in which planes stalled in flight or got into unusual positions from which pilots were unable to recover, making it the most common type of airline accident, according to the International Air Transport Association.
"We're seeing a new breed of accident with these state-of-the art planes," said Rory Kay, an airline captain and co-chair of a Federal Aviation Administration advisory committee on pilot training. "We're forgetting how to fly."
Opportunities for airline pilots to maintain their flying proficiency by manually flying planes are increasingly limited, the FAA committee recently warned. Airlines and regulators discourage or even prohibit pilots from turning off the autopilot and flying planes themselves, the committee said.
Fatal airline accidents have decreased dramatically in the U.S. over the past decade. However, The Associated Press interviewed pilots, industry officials and aviation safety experts who expressed concern about the implications of decreased opportunities for manual flight, and reviewed more than a dozen loss-of-control accidents around the world.
Safety experts say they're seeing cases in which pilots who are suddenly confronted with a loss of computerized flight controls don't appear to know how to respond immediately, or they make errors - sometimes fatally so.
A draft FAA study found pilots sometimes "abdicate too much responsibility to automated systems." Because these systems are so integrated in today's planes, one malfunctioning piece of equipment or a single bad computer instruction can suddenly cascade into a series of other failures, unnerving pilots who have been trained to rely on the equipment.
The study examined 46 accidents and major incidents, 734 voluntary reports by pilots and others as well as data from more than 9,000 flights in which a safety official rides in the cockpit to observe pilots in action. It found that in more than 60 percent of accidents, and 30 percent of major incidents, pilots had trouble manually flying the plane or made mistakes with automated flight controls.
A typical mistake was not recognizing that either the autopilot or the auto-throttle - which controls power to the engines - had disconnected.
Others failed to take the proper steps to recover from a stall in flight or to monitor and maintain airspeed.
The airline industry is suffering from "automation addiction," Kay said.
In the most recent fatal airline crash in the U.S., in 2009 near Buffalo, N.Y., the co-pilot of a regional airliner programmed incorrect information into the plane's computers, causing it to slow to an unsafe speed. That triggered a stall warning. The startled captain, who hadn't noticed the plane had slowed too much, responded by repeatedly pulling back on the control yoke, overriding two safety systems, when the correct procedure was to push forward.
An investigation later found there were no mechanical or structural problems that would have prevented the plane from flying if the captain had responded correctly. Instead, his actions caused an aerodynamic stall. The plane plummeted to earth, killing all 49 people aboard and one on the ground.
Two weeks after the New York accident, a Turkish Airlines Boeing 737 crashed into a field while trying to land in Amsterdam. Nine people were killed and 120 injured. An investigation found that one of the plane's altimeters, which measures altitude, had fed incorrect information to the plane's computers.
That, in turn, caused the auto-throttle to reduce speed to a dangerously slow level so that the plane lost lift and stalled. Dutch investigators described the flight's three pilots' "automation surprise" when they discovered the plane was about to stall. They hadn't been closely monitoring the airspeed.
Last month, French investigators recommended that all pilots get mandatory training in manual flying and handling a high-altitude stall. The recommendations were in response to the 2009 crash of an Air France jet flying from Brazil to Paris. All 228 people aboard were killed.
An investigation found that airspeed sensors fed bad information to the Airbus A330's computers. That caused the autopilot to disengage suddenly and a stall warning to activate.
The co-pilot at the controls struggled to save the plane, but because he kept pointing the plane's nose up, he actually caused the stall instead of preventing it, experts said. Despite the bad airspeed information, which lasted for less than a minute, there was nothing to prevent the plane from continuing to fly if the pilot had followed the correct procedure for such circumstances, which is to continue to fly levelly in the same direction at the same speed while trying to determine the nature of the problem, they said.
In such cases, the pilots and the technology are failing together, said former US Airways Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, whose precision flying is credited with saving all 155 people aboard an Airbus A320 after it lost power in a collision with Canada geese shortly after takeoff from New York's LaGuardia Airport two years ago.
"If we only look at the pilots - the human factor - then we are ignoring other important factors," he said. "We have to look at how they work together."
The ability of pilots to respond to the unexpected loss or malfunction of automated aircraft systems "is the big issue that we can no longer hide from in aviation," said Bill Voss, president of the Flight Safety Foundation in Alexandria, Va. "We've been very slow to recognize the consequence of it and deal with it."
The foundation, which is industry supported, promotes aviation safety around the world.
Airlines are also seeing smaller incidents in which pilots waste precious time repeatedly trying to restart the autopilot or fix other automated systems when what they should be doing is "grasping the controls and flying the airplane," said Bob Coffman, another member of the FAA pilot training committee and an airline captain.

The newly inducted Chairman of the Sapo Youth Development Association (SYDA) has underscored the need for citizens of Sinoe County to be proactive and change their attitudes for the betterment of the county.
Mr. Romeo Kaioh spoke during the week when he and other officials were inducted into office to steer the affairs of the organization for the next two years.
Chairman Kaioh urged citizens of Sinoe to collaborate efforts aimed at developing and bringing change to Sinoe County.
He said the change that is needed in Sinoe does not require hatred, confusion, division and chaos, but instead, one that requires total engagement with leaders of the county.
He said if the people of Sinoe can possess a different attitude, then that attitude must lead to growth and development of the county.
Chairman Kaioh called on members of SYDA to put their political differences aside and work to build the capacity of young people in Sinoe.
He promised that his leadership will do everything possible to ensure that the Legislature enacts a law which will make Sapo one of the dialects in the country.

The electrochemical reduction process has been recently developed for converting oxide nuclear fuels to metals. In order to characterize the reduction mechanism and to investigate appropriate conditions for improving the reduction rate, several reduction tests were conducted in a LiCl-Li2O electrolyte at 650°C using various types of cathode baskets containing 10 to 100 g of UO2. The reduction progressed from the outside to the center of the cathode basket, and the reduction rate might be determined by the transportation of oxygen ion to the bulk salt. It was verified that feeding in small UO2 particles and reducing the thickness of the UO2 layer in the cathode basket improved the reduction rate. The completion of UO2 reduction was indicated by the open circuit potential of the cathode basket exhibiting lithium deposition potential for a long time. A salt distillation test was conducted using the reduction product comprising a mixture of porous uranium metal particles and the electrolyte. The reduction product loaded in an yttria crucible was heated to 1400°C in an argon stream. The residue in the crucible consisted of a uranium metal ingot and a small amount of dross. The adhering LiCl seemed to be completely removed. Consequently, it was demonstrated in the electrochemical reduction followed by the salt distillation that a uranium metal ingot could be produced from the UO2 feed with a high degree of efficiency.

House panel OKs crackdown on illegal immigrants
On party-line votes in a packed hearing room, a House subcommittee last week endorsed a legislative package that Republicans said will curb illegal immigration but opponents said may unfairly punish undocumented residents and promote discrimination.
The immigration subcommittee of the House Courts of Justice Committee approved bills to make Virginia's public colleges and universities spell out their policies against enrolling illegal immigrants; have the Virginia State Police enforce federal immigration laws; require public contractors to verify that their employees are legal U.S. residents; and check the immigration status of everyone arrested in Virginia.
Most of the bills were endorsed on 4-2 votes, with Republicans voting yes and Democrats no.
Nearly every seat in the 204-person-capacity room was taken, and a Capitol Police officer stood watchfully over the proceedings, as the subcommittee considered 17 immigration-related bills Friday. Thirteen of the proposals were approved (or were folded into related bills and then approved); they now will be considered by the full House Courts of Justice Committee.
Delegate Jackson Miller, R-Manassas, reflected the tenor of the Republican majority on the subcommittee in arguing for the employment verification requirement.
"The issue is being framed as one of meanness," Miller said. "It's not. If you're here illegally, I want you to leave. I welcome you back legally with open arms."
About half the audience applauded; they were called out of order by the subcommittee chairman, Delegate Todd Gilbert, R-Woodstock.
The legislation's opponents were equally impassioned. Danny Navarro of the Latino Student Alliance at the University of Virginia, for example, testified against the proposal to prohibit illegal immigrants from enrolling in state colleges and universities.
"This bill is an attempt to stunt the academic growth of undocumented citizens," Navarro said.
College Enrollment
House Bill 1465, sponsored by Delegate Christopher Peace, R-Mechanicsville, would require public colleges and universities to have written rules against enrolling "an alien who is unlawfully present in the United States." Peace said most state schools already have such a policy: "They don't have to do anything but put it in writing."
The subcommittee folded into Peace's measure HB 2153, sponsored by Delegate Ben Cline, R-Amherst. Cline's proposal would make illegal immigrants ineligible for in-state tuition.
A long line of groups testified against the legislation. They ranged from Jews United for Justice to the Virginia Catholic Conference.
"We have earned the right to compete for admission," Navarro said. "The immigration laws fail to address the 'dreamers'" – the children of illegal immigrants who were brought here as young children and have grown up believing themselves to be Americans.
Juan Milanés of the Hispanic Bar Association agreed.
"These kids are dreamers because, more than anything, they want to be like you and me," Milanés said. "These kids are trying to be here as productive members of society. They are not asking for an extra leg up."
Gilbert responded, "The issue is finite resources. There are not enough slots in our public colleges and universities for our kids right now."
"Who's 'our kids'?" Milanés shot back.
Peace said undocumented aliens could still pay out-of-state tuition: "To say that this bill cuts off educational opportunity is hyperbole."
After the discussion, the subcommittee voted 4-2 in favor of HB 1465. Republican Delegates Gilbert, David Albo of Springfield, Jackson Miller of Manassas and William Cleaveland of Roanoke voted yes; Democratic Delegates Vivian Watts of Annandale and Patrick Hope of Arlington voted no.
Enforcing Federal Laws
This bill, sponsored by Miller, would authorize the Virginia State Police to enter into an agreement with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement service. Under the arrangement (known as a "287g" agreement), the State Police would enforce federal immigration laws. Albo had filed HB 1420, which was the same as Miller's bill; it was rolled into HB 1934.
Many people in the room wore buttons depicting "287g" in a red circle with a slash through it.
Luis Ayola, a Puerto Rican student at the University of Virginia, described being stopped and questioned by "cops who were incredulous that I had ID. I haven't been detained yet, but I'm not waiting until that happens. I'm against 287g."
"How long were you inconvenienced?" Hope asked Ayola.
"The first time, an hour," Ayola answered. "The second time, 20 minutes."
Beatriz Amberman of the Hispanic Community Dialogue Organization in Hampton Roads said that "turning State Police into ICE officials" will be expensive and undermine public safety.
"Increased enforcement will cost millions that the federal government will not reimburse. Can you assure us that local government won't be burdened with the costs of this?" Amberman asked.
Ben Greenberg of Virginia Organizing, a nonprofit group that works with low-income communities, called the bill "an invitation to racial profiling."
Michael McLaughlin of the American Council for Immigration Reform said there have been no confirmed instances of racial profiling under the 287g program. He called the legislation a "cost effective" way to deal with the "immigration problem."
The subcommittee approved HB 1934 by the same 4-2 vote.
Two bills would require public contractors to use E-Verify to determine whether their employees are eligible to work in the U.S. E-Verify is a free, internet-based service operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. It can match an employee's name against Social Security and other government records. HB 1859, sponsored by Delegate Richard Anderson, R-Woodbridge, would apply to contractors who work for state agencies. HB 1727, by Delegate Charles Carrico, R-Galax, would apply to local governments and to contractors for local governments. The subcommittee voted 4-2 for both bills after hearing testimony from all sides.
Construction industry representative Ryan Baker said such laws are needed.
"I see the effects of illegal immigration on a first-hand basis," Baker said. He said contractors who hire illegal workers underbid other companies for government work. "If you don't have to pay unemployment insurance or the wages that U.S. citizens get, you can do things a lot cheaper."
Representatives of the tea party movement and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli also supported the E-Verify requirement.
Many groups opposed such a requirement, especially on local governments. They included the Coalition of Virginia Employers, the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, the Virginia Retail Merchants Association, the Virginia chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors, the Virginia Association of Counties and the Virginia Municipal League.
Opponents said the E-Verify program has a high error rate and puts more administrative responsibilities (with associated cost) on small employers.
Immigration Checks
HB 1430, sponsored by Albo, would ensure that police check the immigration status of everyone arrested in Virginia. A similar measure – HB 2332, by Delegate Scott Lingamfelter, R-Woodbridge, was rolled into HB 1430.
"My intent is that everybody who gets arrested gets checked," Albo said. "Some sheriffs are only checking those who get bond or who are released on their own recognizance."
Albo said the legislation would target just people being arrested: "We're not seeking to do immigration checks on people on the street – only that everyone who gets taken before a magistrate gets checked."
Many groups that opposed other legislation before the immigration subcommittee had no problem with HB 1430.
"It doesn't go into effect unless there is probable cause for a warrant or a magistrate has seen the person," Castañaga said. "It's not a situation where a police officer picks someone up because 'they don't look right.'"
Still, some immigration advocates said they want to make sure that police don't use the legislation as a pretext to ask people to prove they are legal residents.
The subcommittee voted 5-1 for HB 1430. Hope was the lone dissenter.

Wall-crossing and hyperkahler geometry
Speaker(s): Andy Neitzke
Abstract: I will give an overview of recent work with Davide Gaiotto and Greg Moore. This work relates the phenomenon of ''wall-crossing'' for BPS states in four-dimensional N=2 theories to a new construction of hyperkahler metrics. These metrics include in particular the metrics on moduli spaces of solutions to Hitchin equations. I will also briefly describe some extensions of this work to incorporate line and surface operators in the N=2 theory (in progress).

Barnett, Don Hudson, Thomas Prior, Noah Kalina, Daniel Shea, and of course all the obvious ones Stephen Shore, Mitch Epstein, Alec Soth, Joel Sternfeld, Jeff Wall, Philip-Lorca diCorcia blah blah blah.
A little about you- Four things about me: I love to travel with my friends and take pictures. I like some nerdy stuff like Magic the Gathering and Kingdom Hearts. Skateboarding has basically influenced all of my important decisions up to this point. The photos here are from a recently completed project which you can find on my website.

Things I liked:High quality paper official target.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
What others should know:This is a better value than the single bull targets. I simply cut these into single bulls for huge savings.
Things I liked:Great targets for 10m practice as you don't have to change targets as often. I made a 15 inch square pellet trap (targets are 14 inches square) and the system works great.
Things I would have changed:Nothing.
Things I liked:Good basic targets. The NRA air pistol matches I shoot use these.
Things I would have changed:Maybe a little stiffer, for cleaner holes. Or maybe we should change our backers more often. :)
What others should know:Nah!

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
By Will HammockSports Editor South Carolina men's soccer's recruiting haul in Gwinnett County didn't take very long to pay off. The Gamecocks' four Gwinnett freshmen - Parkview grad Blake Brettschneider, Greater Atlanta Christian grad Sam Arthur, Peachtree Ridge grad Evan O'Dell and St. Pius grad Jimmy Maurer of Lawrenceville - have become immediate starters and led an upset of 12th-ranked Clemson last weekend. The former club teammates followed the 1-0 win over Clemson with a 4-0 victory over Presbyterian. Brettschneider scored the only goal of the Clemson match in the 109th minute of sudden-death overtime, converting on his team-high fourth shot of the night. Three days later, the forward was named the Conference USA Player of the Week. Maurer, the now 15th-ranked Gamecocks' goalkeeper, has posted back-to-back scoreless efforts with seven saves. O'Dell also contributed to both shutouts as a starter in the South Carolina defense. Arthur had a huge game vs. Presbyterian with two of the Gamecocks' four goals along with an assist. Brettschneider also had a pair of assists in that victory. South Carolina plays this weekend in the UConn Adidas Classic in Storrs, Conn. SOCCER Diaz-Matosas assists historical upset South Carolina sophomore Samantha Diaz-Matosas, a Brookwood grad, assisted on the game's only goal as the 21st-ranked Gamecocks upset No. 1-ranked North Carolina last Saturday for the program's first-ever win over a top-five opponent. The loss was the first for the Tar Heels in a home opener in the 29-year history of the storied program. Diaz-Matosas, the Daily Post's player of the year in 2006, started all 22 matches in 2006 as a freshman. English sets marks Brookwood grad Jessica English, a freshman goalkeeper at North Georgia, recorded her fourth consecutive shutout to open the season, a 1-0 win over Anderson (S.C.). The performance tied a freshman school record as well as the school record since North Georgia moved to NCAA Division II play. CROSS COUNTRY Destiche gets GCSU honor Brookwood grad Dani Destiche, a freshman cross country runner at Georgia College and State University, was named the school's athlete of the week on Tuesday. Destiche was second overall in 19 minutes, 47 seconds at last weekend's meet at Augusta State. Her time was just three seconds off the school record. FOOTBALL Sam, Donaldson face off Texas El-Paso found a variety of ways to get the ball to Buford grad Lorne Sam in last Saturday's 10-6 win over New Mexico. Sam completed 2 of 4 passes for 22 yards, rushed five times for 23 yards and caught a 22-yard pass. One of the players chasing Sam around was Central Gwinnett grad Tyler Donaldson of New Mexico. Although his team lost, Donaldson made a team-high nine tackles, including two for losses and a sack.

I call your Orton-Cena and raise u a Sting-Flair
The best feuds are the lenghty ones. The ones that actually have a cogent storyline behind them. And, my point in using the term "catch 22" was that people will bitch about ANYONE who stays in the...
I really don't think he will sell. I saw a recent video of how when he is in the ring, he thinks of his dad. He was actually choked up over it. I think that, regardless of what his character says,...
Catch 22: If Jericho was in the title picture, with a year long feud, next thing you know, people (SOME of the same ones who hate Orton) would be bitching about getting a fresh face in the title...
Ok. I have an issue with people who gripe about established WWE stars being in the title picture. Orton is still young, and he is established. Del Rio, while established and known to the IWP, is...
i would love to see Angle return to the WWE with Jordan and Haas in tow. I think that could make some good story lines. ALthough, thinking of it, I think I would really like to see him feud with...
There is simply no way that it would work, for the simple reason that there is no believability. After all, who could believe that Lawler could stand a chance with Taker.
Yeah, Taker in the HOF is, most definitely, a no-brainer.
Mike Awesome died. However, I believe he was referring to the TNA version. Awesome was a member of the original version in WCW.
SG---- IPEEINTHESHOWER may be Irish but he is never an angry drunk. I drink to have a good time and get laid, no fights here. I never knew the point of some people always getting into fights when...
Nah, I am pretty much with the majority in that I'm kinda over the Cena winning everything deal. And I didnt even expect to SEE oOrton in it. Just not impressed with ADR.
I would have rather seen ALMOST anyone other than ADR win it. I mean damn, the guy hasnt shown me that much.
I always maintainted that it would be the MEM with some new younger members. Kind of an MEM II
Im hoping for angle as the leader, steiner as a bodyguard type, and anderson, williams, morgan, crimson, and, eventually, styles
A.J. was phenomonal....I am waiting until he gets the hell out of immortal and does it again.
I think the only reason they upped it to 40 participants is so that the Nexus and the Corre could all be in it.
I think this kid could be really good if he got some more ring time and worked on his mic skills.
Ummmmm...you have never seen Flair do a promo?
The Cobra is MEANT to be stupid.
This a point with which I cannot argue.
I dont mind the new "they" deal. If Immortal is to be broken up, it will have to be done by another "faction". And to say TNA is "full of factions." Is incorrect. There is only one. I am hoping...
It could happen. Let us say that lawler is the last entrant, and hes in there with A-ry, or Sheamus. JoMo could come out and interfere to help Lawler eliminate Sheamus. I DOUBT it. And it would...
Sometimes I think wrestling was mkuch more fun to watch when we didn't know a damned thing about the personal lives of the wrestlers.
They don't need Karen. Angle and Jarrett have plenty to feud over without bring her in.

Both volumes are joined through an intervening space opened to the sky, where is the staircase and common living.

12 Video Game Characters with Eating Disorders
Here are the 12 video game characters (or types of characters) with self-destructive eating patterns that we have to worry about, what kind of disease they have and why they seriously need our help to get over their addiction, affliction or self-destroying eating disorder.
Rank Name
- Tip: Navigate with your { left and right } arrow keys1«»EATING DISORDER: BINGE-EATING
Pac-Man is an obvious over-eater with a dependence on a certain kind of pellet. He displays a kind of elation when exposed to a certain kind of pellet, almost like that of consuming a drug. He has such a co-dependent relationship with his food that he cannot work up the courage to confront his regular, every-day bullies unless he's had that kind of (larger) pellet.
The more he eats, the happier he is. Some have blamed the implied drug influence of the Classic NAMCO game, while others simply fear for the type of culture which would eat over 100 tic tacs and then eat some cherries, an entire coke, or a barrage of other carb-heavy fruits/foods.l< << PREV 1 of 12 NEXT >>

Will the Texans trade out?
Will the Raiders take a QB at 5?
I predict the Lions take a CB with the 10th pick of the draft which ever CB they think is the best on available.
Will KC continue their decline - as a follow up to a dismal free agency period?
Guaranteed - the Raiders will do something that will make you scratch your head.
Will the back end of the draft generate trades from teams wanting to pickup a QB with a 5th year option?
The most likely thing the Broncos do is trade down from 31 - like they did when they drafted Wolfe.

The Education Commission of the States says 32 states have passed legislation designed to improve third-grade literacy. Retention is part of the policies in 14 states, with some offering more leeway than others.
Backers say retention policies put pressure on teachers and parents to make sure children succeed.
But opponents say students fare better if they're promoted and offered extra help. They say holding students back doesn't address the underlying problems that caused them to struggle and increases their chances of dropping out of school.

Minecraft Snapshot 12w25a released
Mojang is getting ready for the eventual release of Minecraft patch 1.3, but while the team is still focused on bug fixing they've released a snapshot that contains a few small additions and fixes.
Here's what snapshot 12w25a includes:
- Added a menu with options for opening your single-player world
- The multi-player menu now scans for LAN servers (single-player worlds)
- Villagers will remove trade options after the option has been used 3-15 times
- Added wooden stairs for the remaining three wood types
- Corrected Ender Chest storage (no longer whiped on respawning)
- A lot of smaller changes and fixes
In the meantime, lead developer Jens Bergensten talked a little about what's holding back the 1.3 patch.
"The biggest problem right now is that since the game is hosting a server in the background, the game requires more hardware resources than before," he explained. "We're trying to figure out a way to solve that."

Garbage Study Has Options, Few Recommendations
The problematic garbage study for La Crosse county is part of public record now. And nowhere does the study recommend starting up a government-run garbage service. The study is the one that is at the root of the ethics allegations against La Crosse mayor Matt Harter. He's accused of advocating against a study for the harm it could cause his family's garbage business. But the waste evaluation merely points out some shortcomings in the current systems. Like in recycling. County sustainability guy, Nick Nichols says La Crosse and Onalaska are clearly behind in that regard, both cities having half the recycling rate of other, similar communities studied. He says the study clearly shows there's ways to greatly increase recycling rate.

By Steven Donald SmithAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 2006 About 1,200 Harley-Davidson motorcycle riders along with a peppering of folks on other types of bikes rode in the fourth annual "Rattle the Runway Ride" today to commemorate the victims of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
The riders assembled at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, near Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia, before setting off on the short ride to the Pentagon.
"This commemorative ride is our way of saying we will not forget the victims of Sept. 11, 2001," Rex Howke, the co-founder of the event told the bikers before the ride embarked. "We're here because we want every parent, every spouse, every child, every relative of those heroes to know that their loss has not been forgotten. We will not forget 9/11!"
Howke, a retired fireman, and Marty Clarke, a Dulles airport operations officer, began the Rattle the Runway Ride in 2003. "I mentioned to Marty that I thought it would be awesome to take motorcycles out onto the runway where American Airline's Flight 77 took off from before crashing into the Pentagon," Howke said. "Within a few months we put the whole thing together."
The first ride included just 300 motorcycles and began on the same runway that Flight 77 used during its departure. Due to security concerns, subsequent rides have not been allowed to ride on the airport runway.
Mike Quirin was participating in his third Rattle the Runway Ride today. "The ride is important not just to remember the victims of 9/11, but it's important to remember the whole situation," Quirin said. "We need to remember that we have to fight to retain our freedom."
Sean Kennedy, who has a son serving with the Marines in Iraq, said he was riding to show solidarity with the families of Sept. 11 victims.
"I just felt like I should come out and remember the families who lost people on that day," Kennedy said. "It's an opportunity to recall what happened on 9/11 and to be mindful that a lot of folks lost an awful lot of loved ones. Not just here, but in New York, as well. I just wanted to take time to remember that."
In addition to its symbolic meaning, the ride raised money for the Pentagon Memorial, which is being constructed near the Pentagon airliner crash site. The 2005 Rattle the Runway Ride raised $7000 for the memorial from the sale of Rattle the Runway patches.
Jim Laychak, president of the Pentagon Memorial Fund, was on hand at the end of the ride to thank participants for their contribution. "Thank you all taking part in this great ride," he said.
Laychak's brother, Dave, was killed at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. Dave Laychak was a civilian employee of the U.S. Army.
The Pentagon Memorial Fund is responsible for raising money, designing, building and maintaining the memorial, which is scheduled for completion in 2008.
Laychak said the fund began its fundraising efforts in April 2004 and has raised more than $12.5 million to date. Anheuser-Busch and AT&T have both donated $1 million to the memorial fund.
"I'm confident with the help of large corporations and people like you here in this crowd, that we're going to raise the $22 million we need to construct the memorial," Laychak said. "We owe it to our loved ones, we owe it to every one who witnessed what happened that day, and we owe it to the men and women overseas fighting to keep us safe."

Twice-crocked potatoes
One of my favorite parts of my job is putting recipe slideshows together. It's so much fun to look through all the photos and recipes here at Meredith, and choose the ones I think sound best. I recently posted the slideshow 12 Easy Slow Cooker Meals, which featured the recipe for Twice-Crocked Potatoes.
I love my slow cookers. In fact, last weekend, I had three going at once. One had a pork roast cooking in root beer, which we turned into shredded pork with our favorite barbecue sauce. The next was filled with baked beans. The third held the twice-crocked potatoes.
I have always loved twice-baked potatoes, but they are such a pain to make. These had all the flavor of this favorite side-dish, with almost none of the work. It's a win-win! I did a couple of things differently than the recipe above called for, but that's the beauty of cooking, especially slow cooking! You can tailor the recipe to suit your likes. I didn't have Yukon gold potatoes, so I just used regular old russets. I also had about 6 ounces of cream cheese lying around, so I added it to the mix as well.
The first step was baking the potatoes in the slow cooker, and this is amazing in and of itself. I have tried this before, wrapping the potatoes in foil, but this recipe said to just pop them in the crock. so that's what I did, and they turned out amazing. They would've been perfect to serve alongside a steak with butter and sour cream. I will never bake potatoes in the oven again! They mashed very easily with a potato masher, which meant that the only dishes that got dirty in the making of this recipe were the crock and the masher. Yes!
Click on the link above and give this recipe a try. My whole family ate it up like crazy!
Happy slow cooking!

Six Disciplines energized this manufacturing firm as its CEO and management team struggled to motivate and reward employees by measuring performance. Engaging employees in ongoing strategic planning, using Six Disciplines software to stay focused on the plan, and remaining accountable for performance resulted not only in increased enthusiasm and efficiency. An unexpected benefit was that it helped management and employees learn how to work much better together.
This article outlines the purpose of the Six DisciplinesT approach, explains in brief the value of some of the tools used in this methodology, and provides useful links, especially to the Six Disciplines Web site. The site provides entrepreneurs with a way to see what implementation might be like and offers examples of companies that have put Six Disciplines to work in their companies. The process is designed specifically for small and mid-sized companies with more than twenty employees.
Even with trained and certified internal quality-improvement leaders, or "belts," Six Sigma efforts can fail because management does not understand the support they need. Such ignorance can mean that Six Sigma quality projects don't match company strategy, receive the right resources or financial support, or benefit from regular reviews by managers who can resolve such issues. Entrepreneurs thinking about implementing a Lean Manufacturing-oriented process need to have a full appreciation not only for the returns but also for the investments required, especially their own time and energy and that of their top team".
Among the newest business-excellence methodologies now available, Six DisciplinesT is growing in popularity as a holistic tool to help manufacturing entrepreneurs remain competitive against all comers. It's designed specifically to help small and mid-sized businesses ensure they are doing the right things at the right times. Goals include simplifying the quality management approach, fostering practical planning, and delivering effective, sustainable execution management. Many practical tools to implement the program are available.
After leaping into "Lean," Southern Vinyl Manufacturing gained efficiencies in nearly every area of its operations. Specifically, entrepreneur Rod Matthews explains the challenges and rewards of involving employees in finding and eliminating waste using the "Five Why" process. As a result of "getting lean," the company resolves manufacturing problems by digging deeply to identify root causes instead of just treating symptoms.
The Six Sigma manufacturing process drives production to near-perfect levels, seeking less than 3.4 defects per million output units. Here, the basic purpose and process of the Six Sigma methodology, and its connection to "lean" manufacturing, are clearly explained for entrepreneurs. The article also provides tips on getting started and guidelines to successful implementation.
Does Six Sigma methodology have benefits small- to medium-sized entrepreneurial manufacturing firm? "Yes!" proclaims this author, a Six Sigma Master Black Belt. He provides an overview of, outlines four actions needed for a company to succeed with, and defines steps to deploying Six Sigma.

A technical standard is an established norm or requirement. It is usually a formal document that establishes uniform engineering or technical criteria, methods, processes and practices.
A technical standard can also be a controlled artifact or similar formal means used for calibration. Reference Standards and certified reference materials have an assigned value by direct comparison with a reference base. A primary standard is usually under the jurisdiction of a national standards body. Secondary, tertiary, check standards and standard materials may be used for reference in a metrology system. A key requirement in this case is (metrological) traceability, an unbroken paper trail of calibrations back to the primary standard.
This article discusses formal technical standards. In contrast, a custom, convention, company product, corporate standard, etc which becomes generally accepted and dominant is often called a de facto standard.
A technical standard may be developed privately or unilaterally, for example by a corporation, regulatory body, military, etc. Standards can also be developed by groups such as trade unions, and trade associations. Standards organizations often have more diverse input and usually develop voluntary standards: these might become mandatory if adopted by a government, business contract, etc.
The standardization process may be by edict or may involve the formal consensus of technical experts.
Some standards are written to be mandatory standards. A defense standard is mandatory in relation to that use: It may be voluntarily referenced by a different organization. A standard written and published by a government regulator is mandatory for that use. (A standard which is enforced by law is sometimes called a de jure standard.) A corporation may write its own standard for its mandatory use.
The use of some voluntary standards may sometimes become mandatory.
The main geographic levels are:
National/Regional/International standards is one way of overcoming technical barriers in inter-local or inter-regional commerce caused by differences among technical regulations and standards developed independently and separately by each local, local standards organisation, or local company. Technical barriers arise when different groups come together, each with a large user base, doing some well established thing that between them is mutually incompatible. Establishing national/regional/international standards is one way of preventing or overcoming this problem.
Standards often get reviewed, revised and updated. It is critical that the most current version of a published standard be used or referenced. The originator or standard writing body often has the current versions listed on its web site.

PC-BSD 8 installation guide
PC-BSD 8 is the latest edition of PC-BSD, a desktop distribution based on FreeBSD, with KDE as its default desktop environment. It features a graphical installation program that should be easy enough for anybody to use. However, some sections of the installer could pose some difficulty to those new to the this distribution (and to the BSDs). If you belong to that user group, this installation guide is for you.
The screen shot shows all the options available for installation. You may choose to boot into the live environment, or just install straight to your PC's hard drive. If you take no action, the default is to install to hard drive. For this tutorial, we want to install to hard drive.
This is the first page of the graphical installer. Nothing to do on this page but choose your language. Next.
This page is just as simple as the last one. Make sure that your keyboards layout is the one selected. Next.
Here the installer presents several options. You may choose to perform a fresh installation, an upgrade, or a system restoration. You may also choose to install a FreeBSD server. The last set of options is the source of installation. For this tutorial, the full DVD iso image for 64-bit platforms was used. Next.
This is the disk partitioning aspect. The installer makes it real easy for new users by having an "Auto Partition" option. If you choose to auto-partition, the installer will create the following four partitions: a main partition for the root filesystem of about 2 GB; one for swap of about 10 GB; a third partition of about 1 GB for /var; the last partition for /usr is assigned the rest of the free disk space. The default file system type is UFS+S. Other file system types are available If you choose the "Custom Partition" option are UFS, UFS+J and ZFS. If you are performing a standalone installation or if PC-BSD is the second OS in a dual boot configuration, make sure to install the PC-BSD bootloader by clicking on the check box next to "Install PC-BSD bootloader." Next.
Like all BSD and many Linux operating systems/distributions, PC-BSD sticks with the traditional UNIX root user account system, with one super user account and one or more regular user accounts. On this screen, you set the root account password, and create one or more users. You only need to create one user account. More accounts may be added after installation. Type in the user account information, choose a shell and click on the 'Add" button to create it. Note that the default shell is the C shell (/bin/csh). If you are coming from a Linux background, you likely are more familiar with Bash, the Bourne Again SHell. If that's the case, you should choose /usr/local/bin/bash. Uncheck the check box next to "Auto-login User …" Enabling automatic user login is a bad security practice. It will lower your computer's physical security rating. Next.
Here you have the option to choose your time zone and enable the Network Time Protocol. By default, NTP is enabled. Note that the NTP configuration utility is buggy and will not even successfully configure NTP. So whether you enable NTP on this page or not, you will need to run the NTP utility from the a shell terminal to get NTP configured successfully. Next.
On this page you get to choose to install some applications that PC-BSD considers optional. In my opinion, some of these applications are essential rather than optional. In any case, select a component from the list on the left and click on the upper arrow to move it to the "Selected components" section. Choose as many components as you need. Next.

I am *very* impressed with PC-BSD 8. It detected almost everything out of the box, and after a quick kernel update and compile, I had my wifi up (Dell Studio 1745). Not only is it easy to install and use, but it looks like many of the bugs in the last version have been smoothed out. I still haven't done much with the PBI system (had lots of issues with 7.1) but so far the ports that I had some issues with in 7.1 are compiling nicely now. We'll see if it stands the test of time – if it has major issues, I will probably still copy the X.org conf (excellent out of the box, whereas FreeBSD always requires some work – I like learning to configurations, but that doesn't mean I want to have to go through them by hand every time I install the OS) and a few other autoconfigured options that were surprisingly very much the way I wanted them. Last time around I had to do a lot more tweaking to start to feel comfortable, but this time, I think there have been major strides made to make the install and basic configuration smooth. And the live DVD is really cool. Easily the best FreeBSD derived OS, IMO – and since it will also install FreeBSD instead of PC-BSD at your discretion, there's no real downside to getting a copy of this. everyone should try it!
