I can't stop making these dresses for all the girls I know. Want to make some too? Here's how I do it:
Cut one piece of fabric 11" x 26". Cut two strips of fabric 1 1/2" x 11".
Lay the fabric out so that one of the long sides (26") is closest to you. This will be the bottom hemline.
Serge the raw edge of one 26" side and then fold and press it 1/4".
If you don't have a serger, fold and iron the raw edge over 1/4" and then fold and iron it over again another 1/4" to hide the raw edge.
Sew the hemline closed with a straight stitch.
Here is what the finished hemline and rick rack look like.
Fold the fabric with right sides together, lining up the two short edges as accurately as possible.
Sew the two short sides together with a straight stitch and a zig zag along the raw edge OR serge them. Press to set the seam. You know have a tube.
Pull the tube apart so that the seam is laying in the middle of the tube and press it to one side.
Turn the tube of fabric inside out, smooth out the layers and press neatly.
Fold the tube in half so that the pressed seam is laying on the other edge of the tube. There will be four layers of fabric.
Now let's work on the arm holes.
1 1/2 inches straight across the top of the neckline and
3 1/4 inches straight down toward the bottom hem line.
Line up a small bowl or other circular shape that fits between the two measurements and trace the shape to form a curved line.
Cut along the line and discard scrap piece.
Unfold the dress and you should have two armholes on each side of the tube.
Time to finish the armholes.Take one 1 /12 x 11"strip and fold in half lengthwise with wrong sides together. Press.
Open it up, fold one edge to the middle and press.
Fold the other edge to the middle and press.
Fold both sides together on middle line and press.
Place the raw edge of the armhole into the folded trim, much like putting a piece of paper into a file folder. Pin the trim on if desired.
Sew along the edge of the folded trim to attach it to the dress, making sure to completely envelop the raw edge and catch the trim along the back as well. Adjust as you go along to keep the raw edge from slipping out.
Cut off excess trim.
Repeat on the other armhole.
After both armholes are completed, lay the dress down with the neckline facing toward you. Press flat with hot iron.
Fold neckline over approximately 1/4". Press with a hot iron.
Fold neckline over a second time approximately 7/8". Make sure that the casing is wide enough for a small 3/8" ribbon to pass through easily.
Stitch along the edge of the casing in order to close it. Backstitch at the edges so as to secure casing.
Repeat on the other side of the neckline.
Thread the ribbon through the neckline on both sides. Put the dress over the doll and tie a pretty bow on one side.

Look behind the scenes
The boom of environmentally friendly power and heat generation from renewable biomass continues. Especially countries such as the UK, France, Japan or the US discovered the advantages of renewable energies, primarily the use of biogas. The required know-how and the systems are exported from the technology leaders in Germany, like the conveyor technology specialist NETZSCH. The company manufactures progressing cavity pumps which are especially designed for the difficult substrate mixtures in the biomass sector. These pumps can convey and mix even media with a high content of dry matter. In addition to energy plants, these also allow waste from agriculture and food production to be efficiently converted into energy.
Challenge accepted
The greatest challenge in biogas production is the composition of the used substrate. Drier ingredients such as chicken manure restrict the flow, plant fibres from grain waste, corn or grass promote clogging while corrosive manure corrodes the materials. Another issue is that other countries often use biowaste for gas production instead of the renewable raw materials used in Germany. If the biowaste contains meat or slaughterhouse waste, it has to undergo hygiene treatment for epidemic protection which can result in high media temperatures of up to 80 °C.
Excellently solved
To still provide a continuous supply to the fermenter to ensure an uninterrupted fermentation process under these difficult conditions, NETZSCH has adapted its proven progressing cavity pump technology, the NEMO® B.Max pump range, for these special requirements. To achieve this, the pump is equipped with a position-optimised feed neck which guides the recirculated mass against the direction of flow into the mixing area. This creates turbulences in the biomass which allows an individual blending during feeding. This process is additionally supported by the coupling rod in the blending chamber which is equipped with a screw conveyor. The feeding screw ensures the biomass to be transported into the pump, even in case of high viscosity. The offset segments of the mixing screw and their high thread pitch ensure that more substrate flows to the progressing cavity chambers. The result is an intentional, controlled return flow to create an over feeding, which results in a high efficient homogenisation. Depending on the design, pumps of this type achieve an output of up to 70 m³/h and a pressure of up to 48 bar. The continuous supply to the fermenter which ensures an uninterrupted fermentation process makes it superfluous to use a stronger agitator in the NEMO® B.Max.
- Medium: Grain waste, corn, gras, chicken manure or slaughterhouse waste
- Temperature: Up to 80° C
- Capacity: Up to 70m³/h
- Pressure: Up to 48 bar

Ohio State cornerback Najee Murray was reportedly dismissed from the team earlier this month… before he wasn't. But he's officially off the team now.
OSU confirmed Thursday via the Cleveland Plain Dealer that Murray has in fact left the team and has been given his release. Urban Meyer said earlier this month that Murray was suspended for a "training camp issue." A previous report said that he had been dismissed from the team.
As a true freshman and mainly on special teams, Murray played in the first six games of the 2012 season before going down with a torn ACL. He was expected to contribute similarly in 2013

Stars bare all for make-up free photoshoot
The three women all pose with bare faces for photographer Juergen Teller in his shoot for W magazine.
Twilight star Stewart is seen sporting heavy bags under her eyes and seemingly unwashed hair in her picture, while Cotillard, who is wearing just a towel, looks fresh-faced having just stepped out of the shower.
Kidman and her longtime friend Naomi Watts also posed without make-up for the shoot, and in the accompanying interview, the King Kong star insists she is rarely recognised in public when she sports a casual look.
She says, "I never get recognised on the street. I'm lucky that way. People see me as the dolled-up movie-star type on the red carpet, but in real life, I don't look anything like that. I blend easily into a crowd. My husband (sic), Liev Schreiber, is really distinct, and quite often people push me aside to get to him… They will then ask, 'Can you take a photo of us?' They have no idea who I am."
Male stars who went without air-brushing for the spread include Matthew McConaughey, who showed off a skeletal frame after slimming down to play an AIDS victim in new movie Dallas Buyers Club.
Daniel Day-Lewis posed in a casual outfit of a knitted sweater and jeans, Jarvier Bardem wore just a blanket and Philip Seymour Hoffman was seen wearing a beanie hat, dirty trousers and a weather-proof jacket.
Other stars featured in the shoot include Jack Black, Jessica Chastain and Keira Knightley.

A lot of people are familiar with Harry Potter.
In fact, Ms. Rowling conceived such a fully realized world, many fans have confessed wanting to live in her world more than their own.
But there's a sad realization that comes over a lot of these fans after a certain age. In the Potter World, prospective witches and wizards are notified of their acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of eleven. Meaning that even if Harry Potter were real, magic existed, and you didn't have to take out crazy student loans to attend Hogwarts, if you're over the age of eleven, you're not magical. Which for many is a pretty tough break.
Despite this, some people have decided to make lemons into a large-scale intramural sport. I'm talking about Quidditch.
I recently attended the World Cup of Muggle Quidditch at Icahn Stadium on Randall's Island in New York City. Now, I know what you're asking yourself...
"Isn't Quidditch played on broomsticks with everyone flying around?"
The broom part has stayed. Everyone who plays this sport runs around with a broom between his or her legs. Unfortunately, no one has, at this time, figured out how to make the brooms fly. But that hasn't stopped the players of this magical sport to grow their intramural club into a fully formed league. At the Cup, there were thousands of people, some dressed in costumes, others covered in paint. There were sword swallowers and team supporters. And the biggest surprise?
Quidditch is hard. Like, really hard.
Watching a game can be confusing, but once one understands the rules and positions (and there are a lot), one begins to appreciate just how athletic the participants truly are. With a mashup of basketball, lacrosse, and, to an extent, wrestling, no one wins a game of Quidditch by slacking off.
They win it by catching the snitch.
You wanna play, too? Check it out.
To see more of Quidditch and the 2011 World Cup of Muggle Quidditch, tune into "1st Look" this Saturday after "Saturday Night Live" on NBC.

Scottish Parliament discusses TEQs
by Shaun Chamberlin on May 12th, 2009
I was delighted to read this week that my recent article in Resurgence magazine has helped inspire Bill Wilson MSP to champion TEQs (Tradable Energy Quotas) in the ongoing debate on the Climate Change (Scotland) Bill.
Speaking in the Scottish Parliament, Dr. Wilson highlighted that "climate change could be an opportunity for Scotland, rather than a malign threat, a driver for truly sustainable development. We will be a greener country, of course, but we could and should also use climate change to become fairer, healthier and wealthier, smarter, safer and stronger". Read more »

The Queensland government is appealing the nine-year jail sentence handed down to the man who killed Caboolture toddler Mason Jet Lee in 2016.
Attorney General Yvette D'Ath said Twitter on Thursday she has lodged an appeal against the manslaughter sentence given to William Andrew O'Sullivan on August 30.
"Today an appeal has been lodged in the Mason Jet Lee case on my behalf after I gave consideration to the advice provided by the Director of Public Prosecution," Ms D'Ath later told journalists.
"The grounds on which this appeal has been lodged is that we believe the sentence is manifestly inadequate and on that basis this appeal is being progressed."
Ms D'Ath said she wouldn't comment any further as the matter went through the legal process.
O'Sullivan, 37, was also convicted of child cruelty after failing to seek medical care when the boy suffered a broken leg and severe anal injuries about six months before he was killed in June 2016
The sentence handed down by Chief Justice Catherine Holmes means he could walk free in four years with time already served.
Mason's final hours were spent wrapped in a towel, lips blue, making grunting noises.
Traces of methamphetamine were found in his blood after he died.
O'Sullivan, who had long battled an addiction to drugs, particularly ice, tried to cover up his involvement in the little boy's death by blaming paramedics for taking too long to respond.
But they had taken only six minutes to arrive after being called by a friend.
He also lied to police by saying he found Mason with his lips blue and mouth clamped on a bottle before calling an ambulance and later claimed his 12-year-old "serial killer" daughter may have beaten him.

Do you have a help page? On the main page of your website or your catalog?
Have you made it prominent?
And if so … Why?
If you have to have a help section … on the main page of your website … you're doing something wrong.
Instead of making a help page, or an FAQ, or a list of frequently visited pages … why not just redesign and fix those things so people can find them without needing Help or FAQs??
Usually, the reason you are adding that help page is because lots of people are having problems that information on your website. The reason you're adding that list of quick links is because people have been looking for those pages, but they can't find them. Your FAQ? Most likely explaining something that doesn't make sense to your customers.
Focus on fixing, not on bandaids. Harder to do? Yep. Takes more time? Probably so. But if you fix the underlying root problems, then when it's time for a major redesign, much of your work will already be done. You'll have a strong underlying structure in place, and your navigation will work great.

With our world becoming increasingly dangerous, it only makes sense to make prevention as a top priority. As health insurance becomes popular with employees, prepaid legal plans are making the transition from the office to the telephone.
What are prepaid legal plans? A prepaid legal plan is a type of arrangement where the person pays or an employer pays on behalf of his employees for legal services they may need in advance. Think of it as a medical benefit plan or any prepaid service. A consumer pays certain amount monthly or annually for specific legal services that can be used when and if needed.
Why the need for a prepaid legal service? Although it is expected for every citizen to know their rights, most of us only refer to them when we are in trouble. So unless you have a personal or family lawyer, a prepaid legal plan is your best defense against anything that has to do with the law.
Depending on your chosen prepaid legal plan, the legal services that are available to you may be limited. Any basic prepaid legal plan may include office consultations, legal advice and review and preparation of some legal documents such as a will or contract. More comprehensive prepaid legal services can cover trials, bankruptcy, settling marital disputes and the like.
Is it worth it to own a prepaid legal plan? Well, with America having dozens of legal cases filed on their courts everyday and people becoming more conscious of their legal right, it pays to be cautious. Prevention is better than the cure. When people understand their rights under the law, they can avoid turning minor problems from exploding out of proportions.
A lot of prepaid legal services have made it easier for plan owners to contact them through the telephone. This not only makes the lawyers accessible to the prepaid legal plan owners but it also makes them more at ease with asking legal advice.
A prepaid legal service clearly benefits its owner because it takes away the hassle of having to mistakenly choose a bad lawyer to an honest one. Often, the companies who offer prepaid legal plans screen their lawyers before hiring them, making sure that you get value for your investment.
There are two types of prepaid legal plan available to consumers. The first is the basic access plan for employees. This is where a member can easily access legal services through the telephone.
Although the package offers a limited number of services, the member can be assured of making better decisions with the proper legal consultation from a lawyer. Should a member from this plan need services beyond what is included in the package, they have to pay additional fees.
The second type is the comprehensive prepaid legal plan. Aside from the consultation services, a comprehensive plan has member can receive employer-funded benefits which includes negotiations with parties, preparing legal documents and representation in court. Some companies offer legal service coverage for families too.
We live in a world where the law has a firm hand in everything. Knowing that you have ability to get legal advice before doing anything consequential is a great way to avoid a lot of trouble on the courts. A prepaid legal plan may very well be one of the best decisions you'll ever make for you and your family.

Tripping hillbillies: Hackensaws take on the world
Roll call at a Hackensaw Boys family reunion sounds like Cletus on The Simpsons gathering his kinfolk from yonder hollow: Pee Paw! Shiner! Mahlon! Skeeter! Jigsaw! Salvage! Dante J! C.B.! Uncle Blind Bobby! Kooky-Eyed Fox!
Add a grizzled hound named Lulu and a few jugs of 'shine, and the gathering is purty near complete. Commence with the pickin' and the grinnin'.
An energetic acoustic string combo that once crowded 12 members around the microphone, the Hackensaws have gradually whittled their clan down to a spry sextet. Specializing in Appalachian-informed roots music, the outfit combines fiddle, banjo, guitar, mandolin, mouth harp, dobro, upright bass, and various percussive curios into a yodel-enhanced hootenanny. And even though love means never having to say you're related, each so-called brother, cousin, nephew, and uncle has a colorful, invented nickname.
"That all happened, and we're not exactly sure why," says Shiner Hackensaw, the band's guitarist and co-founder. "We were just kind of joking around. There were definitely a lot of players in country and old-time music who had funny names– like Lefty Frizzell. So we were just kind of having fun with the idea of being somebody else.
"I'd like to keep my own name out of it," he adds. "Not because I'm trying to hide, but for me it's kind of an activist tool."
Fresh off a swing through the Netherlands and Belgium– including three nights headlining the Paradiso, a 600-year-old church where the Rolling Stones play before they go on tour– and now sitting at his kitchen table in Charlottesville, Shiner sounds a mite militant.
In the land of goulash and hash bars, the Hackensaw Boys wound up acting as backwoods diplomats. A lot of the Europeans they met during their two-week tour gave them an earful about Operation Iraqi Freedom– not that Shiner needed any reminders.
"It was really mind-altering for me, because I don't think it's an easy time to be an American," he says. "They're definitely pissed at us over there. One woman told me that the Hackensaw Boys were ambassadors of good will, which I thought was pretty cool. 'Cause I did feel compelled to tell audiences one way or another every night that not everybody in America is into what's going on in Iraq. I spoke out plenty, but some of our speaking out is just in our music."
Shiner ain't whistling Dixie. "Cannonball Brokedown," for example, is a cautionary tale with a catchy refrain as timely as it is reproachful: "It took 13,000 horses just to keep her on the line/She ran on radiation at the speed of fiscal prime/In Alaska they got oil/But in Florida turpentine/We are paying for the wisdom of our crimes."
Before consigning his Boys to the fate of Natalie Maines and the Dixie Chicks, though, Shiner cools his jets.
"I should really say that these are my feelings," he admits. "In no way, shape, or form am I the voice of the band. It's not necessarily fair for me to talk about how enraged I am, because what if it does jeopardize the Hackensaw Boys? And the other guys are like, 'Wait, I didn't want you to say that!' Everything one member says is reflective upon the whole. So it's a struggle for me to have a balance.
"But I am really enraged," he continues. "I've been feeling it in my heart and it's hurting me– that I'm in a bad mood around my family. 'Cause I'm so frustrated and sick of it. And I do believe that we're controlled by a bunch of bankers and politicians, and I think the challenge is on. I think enough stuff is getting leaked out that they can't really hide it anymore. But what are we gonna do? I can't help but think that we're at what some people might call an apocalypse– or a serious crossroads in the history of humankind. It's not the first one, but is it the last one?"
Doomsday themes are nothing new in the annals of bluegrass. There have been countless tributes to the bloody Civil War, the great Galveston flood of 1900, and other debacles involving the devil.
But for every ancient story-song that suggests the sky is falling, another offers simple, upbeat advice: Be proud of the gray in your hair, never marry a widow, always be kind to your mother.
On their latest, self-produced long-player, Give It Back, the Hackensaw Boys resurrect 12 such anonymously penned traditionals, including "Cluck Ol' Hen," "Gospel Plow," "Cumberland Gap," and "Look Where That Sun Done Gone."
"The melodies started over in Europe and ended up over here," Shiner explains. "It's been an oral-story passing; on that level, I really respect bluegrass music. But we don't necessarily see ourselves as having to keep those traditions alive. We like those songs, and we play 'em the way we know 'em.
"I don't think that we're a bluegrass band," he adds. "I'm not being corrective. But I feel like we're starting to pull in a lot of different elements– like old-time and classic country. And I do think we can reach a broad range of people through our music."
The Boys did just that during their Unlimited Sunshine Tour two summers ago, sharing an eclectic bill with Cake, De La Soul, the Flaming Lips, and Modest Mouse, whose Isaac Brock recently enlisted Pee Paw (Tom Peloso) to guest on Good News for People Who Love Bad News.
They've come a long way since their early days as the Blue Moon Diner house band back in 1999, when then-dishwasher Salvage joined up, playing his own hand-built device called a charismo with spoons.
"It's a found-object art assemblage that's also an instrument," Shiner notes.
Following their lo-fi debut, Get Some, the Boys sharpened their scope for 2002's Keep It Simple, an energetic burst of all-original material that caught the attention of several bluegrass and jam festivals– from Telluride to Bonnaroo and beyond.
Having logged roughly 750 shows in the last five years, the Hackensaw Boys remain as busy as a one-armed hippie in a lettuce patch. They crisscross the country in the Dirty Bird, their 1964 GMC touring coach and, as Mahlon writes in his touring journal: The sanitary condition of those who perform live music is so consistently worse than those who pay to see live music.
Killer pot often brings out even more torturous entries: Sometimes inspiration is like a jellyfish – slippery and hard to see and ready to reject you with a painful, discouraging rebuke if you accidentally brush up against her. Other times, of course, she's more akin to a great blubbery cow walrus who sits astride your body demanding that you massage her bulbous rolls of fat in exchange for the barest shred of a song or scrap of a story. The most insulting and personally humiliating aspect of the muse in her walrus suit is, though, her immense mass presses you to the cold ground and the noxious, fishy expulsions of her nether regions overpower your olfactory sense, and you are terrified she will leave and never return.
The Boys will be leaving the bus behind when they return to Europe this fall; the band has already gotten 20 offers to perform in Holland and the U.K. come election time.
Shiner is stoked. It's an opportunity to spread more good will, not to mention push the Boys' growing legacy.
"I definitely see music as a means of change and as a uniter," he says. "It's weird, because history always will rewrite itself and write itself anyway. It could be a hundred years from now and the Hackensaw Boys are– God!– like what I consider Dock Boggs, you know. Like he's the reason I even know this music. And it could be that I'm fortunate enough, or the Old Crow Medicine Show or Split Lip Rayfield is, that one day maybe we were good enough that people will look back on our songs and say, 'Wow, man– that's when this or that happened.'"
This story originally appeared in Westword, an alternative paper in Denver, in anticipation of the The Hackensaws' June 2 concert at the Boulder Theater.

12 December 2019 • 5 Day Master Barista Course
Anyone who has considered doing a barista course to either add to their resume or to gain a deeper understanding of the world of coffee should definitely choose to invest their time, money and faith into the Espresso School. I did the 5 Day Master Barista Course to both add to my resume and extend my knowledge of coffee. I was completely blown away with all the content we learned in only 5 days, needless to say, it was intense! David's extensive knowledge of coffee and passion took the learning experience to a whole new level. I would definitely recommend this course!
25 August 2019 • 5 Day Master Barista Course
David's is a very strong barista with the accreditation to show for it. Being a sensory coffee judge means he is not looking to make great coffee but to pursue coffee at such a level that requires you to have a good connection with your own senses. Coffee really is an art and science combined. Doing this course I wouldn't have realized my passion where it stems from and where it could take me. I highly recommend this class to anyone pursuing coffee as an interest or career.
01 March 2019 • 5 Day Master Barista Course
Really extensive and well planned course. David is an amazing and knowledgeable teacher with a long experience in this field who will push his students to achieve the best results. Definitely worth the investment! Got a lot of practice time and learned a lot of theories, all necessary if you want to brew the best coffee you can. Overall, an awesome experience that showed me a whole new world.

Miles isn't pleased with the tackling at LSU's practice
Coach notes 'lack of intensity'
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
By Jim Kleinpeter
BATON ROUGE -- For the first time since fall camp began 12 days ago, LSU Coach Les Miles wasn't all smiles after practice.
The Tigers went through a two-hour, 100-play controlled scrimmage, the second during fall camp. Maybe it was the 100-degree heat at Tiger Stadium, but more likely it was the absence of tackling.
Rather than hit full speed, it was a "thud" scrimmage in which tacklers hit ball carriers and wrap them up, but don't knock them down.
"I personally don't like those because they lack the intensity (of tackling scrimmages), but we got what we needed accomplished," Miles said. "I wasn't happy with the scrimmage. I didn't think it was crisp, and I didn't think there was any of the attention to detail that we are accustomed to."
"We will go to work tomorrow to correct some of those things. Some of the things that we did were indicative of a thud scrimmage and not necessarily the intensity of a tackle scrimmage."
Miles said the first and second units got about 32 snaps each, with the third unit getting about 20. The Tigers also worked on their return game and red-zone situations.
Miles singled out senior quarterback Matt Flynn and senior wide receiver Early Doucet. Doucet also stood out in the return segment.
Miles added that the defense collectively played well.
"Flynn was sharp in the checks and things we've asked him to do," Miles said. "He made some nice throws. Doucet again looked sharp, but we didn't get him the ball a tremendous number of times. We have to eliminate pre-snap penalties and make sure we hold on to the football. If we do those things, then this offense will come on.
"I think the defense as a group played pretty well. They ran to the football. It was hard to get yards. They just seemed to have everything kind of closely covered."
All-American defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey went full speed after missing Saturday's scrimmage and another practice last week with a sore hamstring. He returned to workouts Monday.
Guard Will Arnold played 12 snaps, though Miles said that was twice as many as the staff had hoped. Arnold has been battling leg problems and is coming off reconstructive ankle surgery from last year.
On Sunday, Arnold said he expected to play the whole scrimmage after being held out of Saturday's session. Miles said Arnold worked at left guard, so the attempt to switch Arnold to right guard apparently has been scrapped.
Injuries the past two seasons have limited Arnold, a 6-foot-4, 319-pounder from Gloster, Miss., to 14 games.
The scrimmage was closed to the media, and players were not made available to the media afterward. LSU's sports information staff did not keep statistics.
The Tigers will go back to the practice field five more times during the next three days before fall camp's final scrimmage Saturday. Miles said that one will be big and will be full contact.
LSU will break camp Sunday and begin a normal practice routine Monday before the Tigers' opener Aug. 30 at Mississippi State. The following Monday will be the first day of school.

While The Who's "Pinball Wizard" still stands up after four decades of radio play, the designers of the pinball machines that made Tommy so good have become an endangered species.
Only one company in the world, Illinois' Stern Pinball, still designs and produces these electro-mechanical marvels, the lone holdout since industry behemoth Williams Electronics shuttered its pinball division in 1999. It may be a dying art, but the creative minds at Stern are nonetheless continuously creating new machines that can keep their industry moving forward and give them one more replay.
The backbone of their game design process for the past few decades has been licensing; Guns and Roses machines rocked the '80s, The Simpsons mocked low scores in the '90s, and the Transformers reflect the high-tech machines of today. Each new pinball machine starts with a bit of creative brainstorming, where the designers translate the theme of a movie, band, or other pop-culture property into a game.
However, these themes aren't just skins, they're key drivers of the game's design. The designers draw inspiration from their licenses and create homages to them in the form of mechanical contraptions. Spinning disks on the playfield fit into the Tron mythos and the giant magnetic bell in the AC/DC cabinet is a perfect example of how tech and art bounce off each other to create a compelling experience.
Stern still produces three or four new games per year, usually with a team of five (lead designer, mechanical engineer, software engineer, graphic artist, and an animator) working together for 9-15 months.
The design process is iterative and bounces back and forth between physical and virtual modeling. Stern marketing director Jody Dankberg says, "The new innovations in CAD and 3D modeling allow us to move more quickly through the prototype phase of our product development process. We can see how parts fit together and how things will look in real life. But in an electro-mechanical device, there still is no substitute for building a physical model."
The well-appointed workshop at Stern HQ allows designers to quickly fabricate prototype games, called "white woods," to work out the major game mechanics. Simultaneously, software engineers start working out rule sets, point systems, and visual effects to complete the experience.
Pinball is inherently physical, but the designers are starting to tilt into the world of video games. In Stern's homage to the Transformers franchise, players can choose to play as AutoBots or Decepticons, each mode having different targets, bonuses, and achievements. In the X-Men game, players unlock story elements by making special shots and enjoy different gameplay flows depending on the way they play.
The games have become so deep that Dankberg says "We have been using QR codes to lead players to instructional videos."
Stern produces pro, special edition, and limited edition versions of each game. Each is differentiated by how many bells and whistles, literally in this case, are on the board. They sell a few thousand units of each game with prices starting at $4,599.
The games are assembled in Stern's cavernous Chicago warehouse, which affords the designers an ability to see how their baroque designs translate into finished goods. The close proximity of design and manufacturing allow the creators to push the state of the art while ensuring their vision is manufacturable.
The technology behind pinball has changed dramatically, but the audience is largely the same. Most games are sold to bars, arcades, and other public places. However, there are some hard-core collectors who buy the machines, clearly vying for "coolest house on the block" status. Dankberg protects the sanctity of their limited edition machines, explaining "We never re-run LE models. LE games are all numbered and signed like many other collectibles."
Pinball machines rarely win design awards and they've seen better days commercially. At their peak, 80% of coin operated machine revenue came from pinball machines. Today, they're mostly seen in high school productions of Tommy or hipster bars. Fortunately, for the truly obsessed, Stern Pinball is keeping the last ball in play.

Phebe Watson signed Ban Military-Style Assault Weapons 2018-02-18 00:49:28 -0500
Ban Military-Style Assault Weapons
As you likely know by now, the Florida high school shooter, the Las Vegas shooter, the Orlando shooter, the Sandy Hook shooter and many others, used military-style assault weapon. These weapons are designed to kill as many people as possible as efficiently as possible. They should not be available to civilians.
It is well past time for the Congress the United States to act.
Please tell our Senators to ban military-style assault weapons now. Add your name to the petition today.702 signatures
Dear Senators Burr and Tillis:
Yet again the nation faces a tragic massacre helped along by easy and inappropriate access to military-style assault weapons. This time it is 17 dead at a Parkland, Florida high school. Before that it was 58 victims in Las Vegas, 26 killed in Sutherland Springs.
Military-style semi-automatic assault weapons are designed to efficiently kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time available. There is absolutely no reason for assault rifles, assault pistols, and assault shotguns to be sold on the civilian market.
Congress did not act after Aurora, Sandy Hook, Orlando, Las Vegas, Southerland Springs and many other devastating mass shootings. It's high time Congress stopped sacrificing lives and work to address this crisis before even more lives are lost.
We ask that you act now to prevent more carnage by supporting an effective ban on the civilian use of these weapons. Military-style assault weapons, high capacity magazines and bump stocks do not belong in our homes, our streets, our schools, our malls, our movie theaters, our places of worship, or in any of our other gathering places. It is well past time to act but it's not too late to spare more Americans from death at the hands of killers using these weapons of mass destruction.
Thank you.
Phebe Watson signed No to the Deregulation of Silencers 2017-09-11 16:35:51 -0400
No to the Deregulation of Silencers
Please sign our petition urging Congress to REJECT any legislation deregulating the sale of firearm silencers and make them easily accessible to criminals who want to conceal their crimes.203 signatures
As a North Carolinian, I urge you to please vote against the SHARE Act.
Silencers are already easy to buy if you're a responsible person with a clean criminal record. If silencers are deregulated, there will be nothing to stop criminals from adding silencers to their growing arsenal: a public safety threat that we have successfully countered for the past 80 years.
This bill puts the profits of gun manufacturers ahead of public safety. We know that during active and mass shooting situations, hearing and seeing gunshots can mean the difference between life and death. Protecting communities and law enforcement is more important than gun company profits. So, please vote against the SHARE Act.

Earlier this month, we learned from a photo on Jelly and Facebook that Mark Zuckerberg texts and drives, as well as tools about town in a $40,000 black Volkswagen Golf GTI.
That photo went viral and apparently alerted VW, which decided to create a video where they wrote Zuckerberg a letter and sent him a GTI hoodie. The letter which is short and seemingly written with a Sharpie says:
Dear Mark,
We've heard you're driving a Volkswagen GTI. We like your style and hope you will like our GTI sweater as well!
Kind Regards, Your Friends at Volkswagen
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Volkswagen apparently learned of Zuckerberg's car around Jan. 13, when the photo went viral, and touted their billionaire customer at a Detroit auto show, according to Forbes. "He's not our average customer," VW's emcee said at the company's press conference. "But he fits the demographic."
That comment may have caused a lot of eyerolling because how many 29-year-old billionaires are anyone's demographic? Still, it was enough for VW to film and place the video on YouTube by Jan. 24. It also commented, "When driving his Volkswagen GTI Mark Zuckerberg demonstrates good taste. He can even do so off the roads with the new hoodie we just sent him!"
VW tactfully refrained from mentioning that Zuckerberg probably shouldn't be texting while driving.

One of the many films to premiere at this year's Sundance Film Festival was writer-director Jonathan Kasdan's (In the Land of Women) The First Time. The film stars Brittany Robertson, Dylan O'Brien, Craig Roberts, James Frecheville and Victoria Justice. Like Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise (one of my favorite films), The First Time is about watching two people fall in love, except instead of taking place over one night in Vienna, The First Time takes place over a weekend and it's about two High School students. While I've seen many High School celluloid love stories crash and burn before the end credits, Kasdan pulled me in with believable dialogue, realistic situations, and he reminded me what it feels like to be seventeen and unsure of everything. While I saw a lot of films at this year's Sundance, The First Time was one of my favorites.
Shortly after the Festival ended, I sat down with Kasdan for an extended interview. We talked about Sundance, the influence of Before Sunrise, how he used his own personal experiences in the script, casting, getting financing, the contrast between making studio movies versus smaller films, improv vs. sticking to the script, future projects, the irony of "discovering" talent such as Kristen Stewart before they are "box office gold," and a lot more. Hit the jump to watch.

Hoyer Announces New Task Force on Poverty and Opportunity
Stephanie Young, 202-225-3130
WASHINGTON, DC– Today, House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) announced the creation of the new Democratic Whip Task Force on Poverty and Opportunity, and that he has appointed Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13) to serve as its chair. The Task Force will work to raise the awareness of Members of Congress and the American people about the ongoing crisis of poverty, as well as the need for a comprehensive national effort to eradicate poverty and remove barriers to opportunity that prevent low-income Americans from reaching the middle class.
"I am pleased to announce the creation of a Democratic Whip Task Force on Poverty and Opportunity, to be chaired in the 113th Congress by Rep. Barbara Lee," said Whip Hoyer. "Under her direction, this new Task Force will explore ways our Caucus can better address the challenges of poverty by creating new opportunities for the most vulnerable in our society to access affordable higher education, succeed in the job market, and attain homeownership. House Democrats have already been active in promoting a comprehensive jobs plan, Make It In America, that would grow our middle class by enhancing our public education system, helping entrepreneurs launch small businesses, and attracting manufacturing jobs back to our shores. And we've been equally active in pushing for a balanced solution to avert the sequester and responsibly reduce the deficit in a way that protects the most vulnerable Americans. I am hopeful that this new Task Force will develop policy ideas that can be translated into legislation to help reduce poverty and create a better future for all Americans."
"The timing of the launch of this Task Force cannot be overlooked. Sequester is looming, and the indiscriminate cuts would not only hurt the poor first, but hurt them the most. The first step in eradicating poverty is 'do no harm,' and we are dangerously close to losing our social safety net that so many struggling families depend on," said Congresswoman Lee. "Poverty touches all of us in this country. 50 million of our neighbors, 16 million of them children, live in poverty. This is unconscionable, and as the richest nation on the planet, it's time to end the scourge of poverty for good."
In the coming months, the Task Force will consult with key stakeholders and work closely with the Administration to develop support for a national strategy to eradicate poverty, with the initial goal of cutting poverty in half in ten years. Key principles will include:
- Enhancing the coordination and alignment of federal, state, and local anti-poverty programs to maximize the impact of every federal dollar in the fight against poverty;
- Strengthening federal oversight of anti-poverty programs by improving how the United States measures and evaluates the impact of anti-poverty programs, as well as the long term economic outcomes of the Americans who receive assistance; and
- Removing barriers and obstacles that prevent low-income Americans from joining the middle class.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, national poverty rates sit at 15% overall, 21.9% for children, and 27.6% for African-Americans.
To learn more about poverty rates in the United States, visit the U.S. Census Bureau.
