Smart Card Market Trends and Integrated Adhesive Solutions
The increased adoption of Smart Cards has largely been driven by the global acceptance of the EMV standard for efficient banking and payment infrastructure implementations, along with higher capacity requirements in telecommunications and secure administrative processes for personal identification and access control.
Smart Cards, however, are only as good as the reliability provided by the materials that enable their production. Selecting the most effective adhesive solutions that exceed stringent manufacturing and end-use requirement is essential. This webinar will present information about Smart Card market trends, future growth drivers and details on materials that provide essential Smart Card quality and reliability.

At Novell BrainShare Amsterdam last week, the Geekos were handing out SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 (RC4) at IT Central. So off came my DVD drive and I installed it on a separate partition on my Thinkpad.
Since its a Release Candidate (RC4) and not the final GA version due on 2nd June, I wanted to have a quick look at how KVM works since its an officially supported hypervisor in SP1 (other than the very established Xen shipped and supported since SLES 10 back in 2006).
I've been using Xen and helping partners & customers implement it for a few years, without any knowledge of KVM, I wanted to dive right in and see how far I'd go. I am very impressed with the engineering and thought put into how KVM is packaged with SLES 11 SP1. This is truly a fine example of an "Enterprise" grade product. I was able to virtualize an instance of SLES 11 SP1 and MS Windows 7 with no assistance. The KEY is the tools (libvirt & virt-manager) for Xen, which I'm familiar since SLES 10, is now capable of managing both Xen and KVM in SLES 11 SP1. Depending if you boot into the Xen kernel or the default kernel with KVM module loaded, these same tools can be used, thus providing a consistent user interface. This is just brilliant!
For existing users of Xen, should they decide that KVM is a better alternative as it matures further down the road, they could easily switch without much hassle. More importantly, its conceivable that any custom scripts (automation, failover or whatever) developed for Xen can be easily applied to KVM. This is much better than RIP-n-REPLACE in so many other "Enterprise" grade products.
Here are a few screenshots:

Bad-behaving drivers, a naughty neighbor and more in this week's edition.
Motorist gets in argument, shows off his buttocks, police say
PEMBROKE, Mass. -- A Pembroke man was arrested after he stopped to flash his buttocks at another motorist, police said.
Scott Smith, 48, was arrested early Monday and charged with second-offense drunken driving and indecent exposure.
Smith was driving west on Route 139 just after midnight Monday when another driver called police to report that Smith was swerving and driving erratically, Pembroke police Chief Michael Ohrenberger said.
After several minutes, Smith stopped at a traffic light and got out of his vehicle to pull down his pants and moon the other driver while yelling at her, Ohrenberger said.
Police officers who were sent to the area caught up with Smith on Route 53, where he was spotted weaving in and out of lanes, police said.
Smith was then pulled over on Route 14, where he failed a field sobriety test and was arrested, police said.
It was his second arrest for drunken driving. Ohrenberger said the first offense did not occur in Pembroke.
Police: Bloody fight continues in moving car
MARLBOROUGH, Mass. -- Two men face charges after a bloody fight on Wednesday that had one of them hanging out the window of a moving car, leading to a crash, police said.
The fight started when Charles Gargone Jr., 44, ordered Paul A. Mucci, 31, out of Gargone's home about 5:40 p.m., police said.
Mucci threw coffee at Gargone and left. But Gargone jumped in Mucci's car and hung out the driver's side window as the car went down the street, police said.
Mucci drove his fingers into Gargone's eyes, and Gargone in turn bit Mucci's nose, police Lt. David Vaillancourt said. Mucci then rear-ended a car.
Mucci was taken to Marlborough Hospital, where he was treated for a bloody nose and released, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Police filed a criminal complaint application in court for Mucci and Gargone on charges of assault and battery and disorderly conduct, Vaillancourt said.
Mucci also faces a negligent driving charge.
Woman comes home to find neighbor in her apartment
JACKSON TWP., Ohio -- A woman arrived home early Thursday morning to find a man behind her open front door.
Police said the man was a neighbor, who had used the previous tenant's key to let himself in. The key had been entrusted to him by a former neighbor who moved out two months earlier.
Stark County Jail records said the former resident of her apartment had given Ronald W. Phillips, 46, a key upon moving out. The outgoing neighbor allegedly asked Phillips to turn it in to the landlady.
Phillips told township police that about 5:30 a.m. Thursday, he had found the key and went to turn it over to his new neighbor, knowing that her car wasn't parked outside, jail records said. He knocked, but no one answered.
So he let himself inside "taking the chance that the victim's young daughter could be home," the jail records said.
Then the resident returned home.
She found the door open, and Phillips hiding behind it, police said.
When she started screaming, he "relinquished the key and left the apartment," jail records said.
Phillips was arrested at 6:40 a.m. Thursday at another apartment on a burglary charge.
Police say teens stole street signs
NATICK, Mass. -- Three Natick teenagers had stolen a High Street sign and were trying to steal the Greenleaf Road street sign when they were arrested yesterday, police said.
Jason A. Brass, 18, Richard A. Delorie Jr., 18, and Sean McDonough, 18, were arrested after they tried to run from police at 2:46 a.m., police spokesman Lt. Brian Grassey said.
Sgt. Vincent Forde was on patrol when he saw a car pulled over on the side of the road with all the doors open.
He also noticed the High Street sign in the car, Grassey said.
"The defendants were interrupted during the theft of another street sign Greenleaf Road," said Grassey. "They tried to make good their escape, and they jumped a fence into a fenced-in yard."
Police surrounded the yard and caught the three.
All three are scheduled to be arraigned in Natick District Court on Tuesday.

By GILBERT GARCIA
San Antonio Express-News columnist
Ted Nugent was on his best behavior Saturday night.
Nugent, the motor-mouthed madman of the American conservative movement, brought his self-touted business expertise to downtown San Antonio when he delivered the keynote address at a convention hosted by the Entrepreneurs' Organization, a network designed to help business owners learn from each other.
A cuddly Uncle Ted made only one joking reference to his wish that he could mow down South Central Los Angeles with an M-4 rifle; only dropped about 10 f-bombs in 50 minutes; paid tribute to the comedy stylings of the late Richard Pryor by laughing deliriously at the thought of Pryor's "Afro on fire" as the comedian ran from his home in 1980 with his body engulfed in flames; and showed great restraint by only once referring to President Barack Obama as a "Chicago gangster."
Working the convention and banquet circuit is something The Nuge does only during breaks in hunting season, or when he's not touring with fellow '70s warhorses such as Styx and REO Speedwagon. But he's a natural at it.
The reason he's such a natural is that he presents himself as a man who makes no apologies — for his lifestyle, his ideology and, especially, his hypocrisies.
For example, Nugent spent several minutes Saturday extolling the glories of his song "Stranglehold" — an anthem for countless hormonal, porn-craving young boys in the mid-'70s — and its signature line: "I got you in a stranglehold baby/and then I crushed your face."
This spiel came only three months after Nugent sent a letter to Vice President Joe Biden, advising him that Obama's best move to curtail violence in America would be to make a public service announcement "encouraging parents to be more involved in their children's lives regarding entertainment choices."
Wow, an idea like that could have ended Nugent's career back in 1974.
He's someone who has advocated the killing of all pedophiles, yet by his own admission had countless sexual encounters with underage girls, allegedly including a 12-year-old Courtney Love.
He speaks with evident passion about his support for the U.S. military, but has also bragged about avoiding the Vietnam-era draft by defecating and urinating in his pants for a week, so he could sufficiently disgust "these imbeciles in the armed forces."
On Saturday night, he had little real entrepreneurial insight to offer, unless you consider his story about standing up to the know-nothings at his record label — when they wanted him to add keyboards and female backup singers to "Stranglehold" — to be a valuable business tip.
But he was a nonstop, don't-tread-on-me quote machine, describing an America that is under assault from nanny-state wimps within our borders.
"We're about to give up the greatest quality of life to become a suburb of Indonesia," he said, chalking up the decay to the "Mao Zedong fan club in the White House."
Call me a crazy optimist, but I came away from his speech inspired by the thought that if our nation can somehow harness the creative spirit, the rugged individualism, that once inspired The Nuge to compose "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang," there may be hope for us yet.

Seminar on" Reflection on Emotions in Indian Thought-Systems"
4-6 September 2012
Great, deep, wide and unbounded, the ocean is nevertheless drunk by underwater fires; in the same way, Sorrow is drunk by Anger.
(Translation of an unidentified Sanskrit stanza from India in the early Middle Ages; Gnoli, 1956, p. 35.)
At a given moment of time, in this greatly unstable era of existential dislocation, in this scattered reality impelled by the pending force of technology and globalization, in this virtual world of which we are a part, a need is felt to revive the significance of feeling, to pose a question about validity of emotions in our times, to ensure a potential for understanding a metaphysical meaning of emotions in the religious and philosophical world of mankind's sensibility. It is a general misconception propagated by a popular culture and mass-media that views emotions in opposition to rationality, as the symptoms of inner weakness and vulnerability forged by a psychological unbalance and disorder. The existence of emotions is widely attested in the religious and philosophical landscape of India and it often provides a basis for the affective unfolding of conscious thought revealing its depth and intensity. In accordance with classical Indian philosophy, emotions are cognitions (jñāna, vijñāna), a justified mental phenomena not less rational than complex thought processes. What distinguishes emotions from thoughts is a prominent behavioral component articulating attitudes, conations and judgments that bring us to a closer understanding of the specific subfield of human life. In the classical Sanskritic tradition, the words 'bhāva' and 'vedanā' are used in reference to the 'emotive state' which includes both the internal feeling and expressed emotion. Within the symbolic discourse of Indian culture, emotions are also held legitimate in religious life. To illustrate this point, let us refer to Varāhapuraa 17.33-37 which describes the Mother-goddesses (matkas) as symbols of human emotions: Brāhmī –pride, Maheśvarī – anger, Kaumārī - attachment, Vaiavī - greed, Varahi - envy, Aindrī – jealousy, Camua - depravity, Nārasihī - lust. Studies of Hindu myth tales, those of Campbell, Doniger and Shulman reflected on core components of emotional meaning that seem to be universal. Appraisal of emotional life has reached its apogee in the non-dualistic tantric traditions of Kashmir as it promulgated the Heart as the representative of the Self, the liberated consciousness. At the same time, emotional states, even the most negative ones, have been qualified as a stimulus for the expansion of consciousness. Needless to say, the emotional attitude pervades all intellectual and religious discourses of Indian culture, and, moreover, it appears as the most tangible and fundamental in mankind's quest for the sacred and self-discovery. This seminar wishes to address a complex character of emotions by providing an interdisciplinary approach combining fields of philosophy, psychology and religious studies. This intellectual endeavour is intended to stimulate the multi-method strategy in conceptualizing emotions. In doing so, we will make an attempt to venture into the multi-faceted reality of emotions, unraveling its apparent equivocality, its seeming inconceivability. The seminar will try to systematize the cultural data on emotions in order to arrive at conceptual schema that would help us in defining the phenomenon of feeling in its multi-dimensional appearances. An effort will be made to give an ingenious replies on the mechanism of spontaneous activation of emotional behavior in religious experience and to elaborate on emendations of the theoretical maze confounding emotional and rational domains. Through the intellectual fusion and fruitful mingling of many perspectives, the seminar wishes to broader our understanding of the linkage between affect, cultural models and theoretical evaluation, reconnecting them. Finally, seminar furnishes a good opportunity to reflect upon the aesthetic emotions caused by a work of art that reinforce empathetic or non-empathetic feelings.The following themes shall be investigated:
- the problem of rationality and emotions in classical Indian philosophy (Sakhya, Nyāya-Vaiśeika, Miansa) and in Buddhism
- Emotions as enrapture of intensity, medium of psychological transfiguration
- Emotions (bhāvas) in construction of dynamic religious identity: Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sahaja Vainavism, Bauls of Bengal, Sufi Emotionalism
- The idea of salvation through intense emotional state: Kashmiri tantric śaiva traditions, Bengali Tantra
- The cultural psychology of emotions (Dimock, Kakar, Harre, Kleiman, Rorty, Shixie, Solomon)
- Natyaśastra as the theatre of emotions
- Expressed emotions: dance, song etc.
- The role of emotions in Bhakti movement

Driver accused of hitting, killing pedestrian charged
Prosecutors: Josephine Sardina reading text while driving, had marijuana in system
A Milwaukee-area woman whose SUV struck and killed a pedestrian last autumn has been charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle.
Prosecutors said Monday that 31-year-old Josephine E. Sardina was reading a text message around the moment of the collision. They also said she had marijuana's active ingredient in her system.
The victim was identified as David Budge. A witness told investigators Budge tried to jump out of the way before he was struck last October.
The medical examiner's office said Budge died of blunt-force trauma consistent with trying to evade a vehicle.
The criminal complaint said Sardina heard a thud and saw Budge on the ground. She ran to check on him and then called 911.
She also acknowledged smoking marijuana and said she has back problems.

Concurrent Pearl: The Expanding Prime Pipeline
Process networks in CHP do not have to be static. In fact, some of the more interesting examples are dynamic. To illustrate a dynamic process pipeline I will use the example task of generating prime numbers.
One way to find prime numbers is as follows. Start with an empty list of primes, and the integer 2. Check if the integer is divisible by any of the numbers in the list of primes. If yes, discard it. If no, add it to the list. Then try the next integer (i.e. add one), and continue indefinitely. A very simple, if inefficient algorithm. (This is not the Sieve of Eratosthenes — see this paper.)
Let's see how we can turn this algorithm into a CHP program. Every time we find a prime, we want to add it to our list of numbers to filter out in future. We can implement this list as a concurrent process pipeline — each process in the pipeline will be responsible for filtering out numbers divisible by a single prime. Such a process is quite straightforward:
filterDiv :: Integer -> Chanin Integer -> Chanout Integer -> CHP () filterDiv n input output = forever $ do x <- readChannel input when (x `mod` n /= 0) $ writeChannel output x
Every time we find a prime, we need to add a new filterDiv process on to the end of our pipeline. This may sound difficult, but can be easily expressed with some concurrent recursion:
end :: Chanin Integer -> Chanout Integer -> CHP () end input output = do x <- readChannel input writeChannel output x (filterDiv x |->| end) input output
This process sits at the end of our pipeline and reads in a single value. Since our pipeline is filtering out all non-primes, any number that this "end" process receives must be prime. In response to receiving a prime, it sends it on (to whatever process is waiting beyond the prime pipeline to receive the primes). It then becomes the parallel composition of a new filterDiv process, connected to a new end process (the |->| operator expresses this composition). Thus every time a new prime comes out of the end of the pipeline, the pipeline grows by one more process. After the 100th prime, the pipeline will consist of 100 filterDiv processes executing concurrently, and one "end" process.
To complete our pipeline, we need a process at the beginning of the pipeline, supplying an ever-increasing stream of numbers on its output channel, starting at 2:
genStream :: Chanout Integer -> CHP () genStream output = mapM_ (writeChannel output) [2..]
We can now write a primes process that generates a list of prime numbers. Using another helpful operator from the CHP library, this is easy:
primes :: Chanout Integer -> CHP () primes = genStream ->| end
Observe that there is no mention of filterDiv. The pipeline starts out with the stream generator and an end process. All the filterDiv processes are added once the primes start coming out of the pipeline, beginning with 2, as shown in the diagram below:
Note also that the interface of primes is simply Chanout Integer -> CHP (); all the internal details of the expanding concurrent pipeline are hidden from the outside, leaving only an opaque box:
To make a complete program, we can compose this in parallel with a process responsible for printing the primes:
main :: IO () main = runCHP_ $ do c <- oneToOneChannel primes (writer c) <||> (forever $ readChannel (reader c) >>= (liftIO . putStrLn . show))
The expanding pipeline is not restricted to conceptual examples such as generating the primes, and the powerful idea of a process becoming the parallel composition of sub-processes is not restricted to pipelines — two things that I hope to explore in future.

Please keep up the great work. Learning CHP by example is very helpful stuff.
September 26, 2009 at 12:38 pm
The sieve you say? Hmmm, what about something like
filterDiv k input output = go k
go n = do x <- readChannel input
if (x == n)
then go (n+k) — ignore
else writeChannel output x >> go n
Closer to the sieve, probably as close as you can get with a pipeline, I'd say. 🙂
September 28, 2009 at 4:44 pm
That definition doesn't work, do you see why? 🙂
September 29, 2009 at 5:16 pm
The sieve gets its speed from only needing to grow its control structure at the 4th root of the dataset. To evaluate if a number N is prime we only need to see if it's divisible by primes up to N^1/2. To find the dividing primes we only need to check their divisors so since the largest divisor of N cannot be > N^1/2 we only need to have used filters of primes N^1/2.

Process networks can often be more perspicuously expressed
in terms of lists. Then the burden of setting up the network
and sending and receiving messages is assumed by the lazy
evaluator. Here's the prime pipeline written in this style–
a well burnished pearl.
primes = sieve [2..] where
sieve (x:xs) = x : sieve [y | y<-xs, y `mod` x /= 0]

The Romney presidential campaign's app aspirations got off to a rocky start. Remember "A better Amercia?" And then Mitt's VP, which promised to break the news of Romney's vice presidential pick to the world, got scooped by a good seven hours by more traditional methods.
On Thursday, Romney's smartphone app got a makeover that was more like a complete do-over. Rather than the one-trick pony of the VP app (all it did was promise a notification on the pick, while collecting cell phone information from downloaders), the new app has lots of information.
Walk with us.
About The About section offers text and video to introduce a candidate that has remained something of an enigma even though he's been in public life for a decade. Romney is intensely private, which both supporters and critics have acknowledged gave the Obama campaign an opening to define him to voters. The videos include features on "Growing up" and "Character."
News The News section has three tabs of its own: blog posts (while viewed within the app, come from the main campaign site), videos (primarily the attack ads the campaign has been running), and a feed of the campaign's twitter account.
Issues The Issues section offers details on the Romney-Ryan campaign policies on Afghanistan, Africa, China and East Asia, courts and the Constitution, education, energy, gun rights, health care, human capital, immigration, Iran, Israel, labor, Latin America, Medicare, the Middle East, national defense, regulation, Russia, Social Security, spending, taxes, trade, and values. Many of the items have explanations for what a Romney administration would do differently than Obama's.
Events and Donate The new app has two sections for engagement (not counting the opportunity to connect through Facebook or to create an account, both in settings): Events, sortable by date and by location, allows supporters to RSVP to a campaign rally directly through the app. The donate page offers options from $15 to $5000, but the default is $250.
If the Romney app looks familiar, it should: it's set up quite similarly to the latest Obama app, which was last updated earlier this month, and was first released in July.
Design wise, the two apps look quite similar at first glance: a solid blue bar across the top, white background and a navigation bar with icons along the bottom.
Info The Obama app gathers news and issues, along with information on how to vote and how the administration's policies have impacted the app user's community, into one section called Info. The section includes tabs with blog posts from both the national and local blogs, as well as the local Twitter account feed.
Events, Action, and Donate Obama's app is more focused on user engagement, including a dedicated tab for an already committed supporter to take action for the campaign. It gives options to register voters, volunteer, and canvass for Obama, highlighting the campaign's insistence that voter turnout is key in November's election. The Donate section begins at $10 and runs to $1,000.
Featured The featured tab is more information, hitting at Romney and Ryan, sharing stories of voters helped by Obama policies and other features.

As the weather turns colder, sitting in the hot tub becomes more appealing. Your can use your hot tub real-round in most climates, as long as you follow proper maintenance.
In colder weather, the main concern is keeping the hot tub warm. You don't want the pipes or any part of the hot tub to freeze. A freeze protection system or putting your hot tub in auto-heat mode should keep it safe.
Also, make sure you have enough water in the hot tub to keep it from freezing.
The air jets are inserting colder air into the water. In the colder months, this just means it will take more energy to keep your hot tub warm. To keep your energy bills under control, try to use the air jets sparingly when it's really cold out.

Managing growth in a client services business
Small Business Guides
5 min read
Growing a small business is a balancing act. You have to attract and impress new prospects without letting down your existing clients. Plus you need to try and add staff without destroying your cash flow. Ply Creative's Dave Prince explains how they did it.
Getting going is easy
With a low barrier to entry, a lot of creatives try setting up their own agencies. After all, you only need a laptop and the gift of the gab to get going. Suddenly, with a couple of quick wins under your belt, you're in business building an agency.
But getting going is the easy part. Maintaining momentum takes more effort and planning. That's especially so for client services businesses, where you have to manage relationships. Unfortunately, it's where many small businesses, creative agencies included, come unstuck.
Having a point of difference helps
A unique service proposition (USP) can help businesses manage their growth. It gives owners a strategic focus, which makes it easier to identify priorities.
Coming up with a USP isn't always easy when you're in a crowded market. There are probably competitors doing similar things to you. But you should give it a shot.
Dave Prince, a co-founder at Ply Creative, came from a digital background and he wanted to stay in that space when building an agency with business partner, Mark Campbell.
Client service is critical
Ply Creative delivers digital and branding solutions for software providers, entrepreneurial ventures, and established companies. The niche has been profitable, and Dave believes the agency's commitment to client service has helped fan the flames.
"Customer service is at the heart of our business. It's our main point of difference – we spend extra time with our clients to make sure they are receiving the attention and service they deserve."
The challenges of building an agency
Scaling up a client services business can be hard. Attracting new clients diverts your attention from looking after existing ones. As more business comes in, it gets tougher to manage workflows and deliver on all your commitments.
Dave and Mark faced this challenge in Ply Creative's third year. Positive word-of-mouth reputation was feeding strong agency growth, but resources were being stretched thin.
"Our business had been building bit by bit every month," Dave says, "and our workload grew by 30%." With all the new projects coming in, he was worried about letting down the clients they already had.
It's a tough dilemma when businesses have to choose between the cost of growing and the opportunity cost of not growing.
Putting reputation at risk
Any drop in standards would've been really concerning for Ply Creative because client services was such a big part of their DNA. It drove a lot of the buzz around the agency's reputation.
"The danger of growing is that you lose sight of the thing that you provided for your customers when you were starting out," Dave says. "Our goal was to preserve the way we've always done business – to offer the same personalised service that we originally provided with the core team."
That was getting tough to do. There was lots of work going through the studio, but not enough staff to get everything done. It was hard to keep up with agency growth and the guys needed a solution before client services suffered.
Freelancers not a long-term solution
Ply Creative had tried using freelancers to help deal with overflow work, but it wasn't the long-term fix that Dave wanted. He preferred to do things in-house – building an agency with a good culture that delivered consistently high standards.
"We like to work with established staff, because it's better for continuity, and it's a much smoother process for our clients and our team. Generally, it takes a month before a new staff member gets to know the business and really starts adding value."
Ply Creative was going to have to add permanent staff to build the agency the way they wanted. They could have dipped into their savings to finance the new hires, but Dave and Mark were wary of depleting cash flow. The last thing they wanted to do was eat into their rainy-day fund, in case an emergency came up.
The catch 22 of agency growth
It's a dilemma faced by many creative businesses. There's a chance for agency growth, but it comes with risks. Owners have to choose between the cost of growing and the opportunity cost of not growing.
Ply Creative was determined to capitalise on their opportunity and they had a strategy for limiting the cash flow risk to their business.
"We decided we needed a small cash injection to get staff up to speed and introduce a smoother process," Dave says. So they spoke to NAB about a QuickBiz Loan. As the name implies, the assessment process was swift. Ply Creative just supplied the bank with access to the business's online accounting software and the loan was approved soon after.
The lending decision was made purely on the strength of the business's financials. No security was required. "We just authorised NAB to check our financials through Xero. It was super easy," Dave says.
Ready to borrow
Maintaining accurate online accounts means you're just about always ready to apply for finance, even at really short notice. And because lenders can assess these sorts of applications quickly, credit can be arranged far faster.
It doesn't matter if you're building an agency, a manufacturing plant or something else, access to finance will probably be pivotal to your growth strategy.
Stepping up to the next level
After years of building up the business, Ply Creative has found its groove, and more companies in the industry are taking notice of their work. With a few new staff members on board, new equipment, and extra office space in two locations, Dave and Mark have stepped up to the next level.
They unlocked agency growth without putting their cash flow under pressure, or pausing to go through a long assessment process. It was a matter of finding innovative lenders and providing them with quality data to make a quick decision.

Donner Lake (credit: Todd Warshaw/Pool/Getty Images)
TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — A 46-year-old pedestrian who was struck by a possibly drunk bicyclist at Donner Lake on the Fourth of July has died of his injuries.
Truckee police say Sparks, Nev. resident Leonard Richard Whitlow was initially taken to Tahoe Forest Hospital and then transferred to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno with head injuries.
Police say the 24-year-old woman who hit him about 9:30 p.m. Thursday had been riding her bike along Donner Lake before a fireworks show.
She was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and booked into the Nevada County Jail. She's been identified as Truckee resident Petra Bakker-Borhani.

What Maryland Residents Need to Know About Advance Health Care Directives
If you became ill or injured and were unable to speak for yourself, would your loved ones know what kind of medical treatment you want? Would your family members and doctors be legally bound to carry out your wishes?
Without a valid document directing your health care, your wishes for medical treatment may not be known or honored. In an extreme case, your family members could end up in court, arguing over what's best for you. In Maryland, you can avoid outcomes like these by preparing a legal document called $HCD_NAMES_ALL_ARTICLE.

gap(redirected from financing gap)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia.
1. In technical analysis, a break on a chart representing a sudden and large price movement accompanied by high trading volume. Generally speaking, charts do not show gaps because price movements, even when large, occur smoothly enough to not require a break in the chart. Gaps may occur, for example, when the price of a security suddenly doubles or halves. As with many charting terms, it may be bullish or bearish; a sudden movement upward is a bullish gap, while a sudden movement downward is bearish. It is also called a breakaway gap.
2. Financing that is needed but unavailable. A common solution to filling a gap is borrowing.
2. Financing that is needed but unavailable. A common solution to filling a gap is borrowing.
A price range in which no shares are traded. A gap on a chart is created when the lowest price at which a security trades on one day is above the highest price at which the same security was traded on the previous day. Thus, if a stock trades between a low of $51 and a high of $52.50 on Monday and between $53.50 and $54 on the following day, a gap from $52.50 to $53.50 is created on a chartist's graph. A gap may have varying degrees of significance, depending on the general formation and the volume at the time the gap occurs. Also called price gap. See also breakaway gap, exhaustion gap, runaway gap.
A time period when an additional title search is being conducted to determine if any adverse findings have occurred since the original title search and the recording of the deed or mortgage.

How To Make a Barn Quilt
In a previous post on my crafting blog, I talked about creating a barn quilt to hang at the orchard. Well, the process has begun and I plan to keep you all 'in the know' on how it's progressed and have some basic instructions if you ever feel the urge to make one yourself!
Step One: My husband went to Menard's and purchased two pieces of 4' x 8' treated plywood – top grade. He then put the boards together and framed the back out with treated 2x6's (specs say 2x4's but we happened to have 2x6's laying around).
Step Two: Coat the ENTIRE piece (sides too) with high quality exterior primer – I used latex. I also put on four coats to seal it real well.
Step Three. Using a ruler and a level, I drew on the quilt design for my barn quilt. I am going to be painting a slightly tweaked 'Constellation' quilt block for the orchard. I know I could have used an more apple-y pattern since it's going on an apple orchard but I just really liked this block and the rest of the family agreed.
Step Four. This is the last step I'll talk about in this post. Using painter's tape I taped off the design of the first color (it will be orange) of the quilt block. I had to use a straight edge and razor blade to get the points in the middle really nice.
I am not the only one that is Columbia County's Barn Quilt Guinea Pig – Becky Gutzman is also one of the lucky firsts. She shared some pictures of her barn quilt with me and gave me permission to post about it.
Primer Coat – Becky did hers a bit differently – she painted each board separately first and then will be putting it together in the end. It will be easier to work with a 4' x 8' piece versus a 8' x 8' piece.

Becky gracefully answered a few questions I had for her as well.
When did you first hear of barn quilts?
I had read about the Iowa Barn quilt project in farm magazines several years ago. As I heard of other Wisconsin counties doing this, I thought I would love to have one on out farm.

What made you want to create a barn quilt to hang on your farm?
Our road is fairly well traveled for a town road, and our barn is very visible from the road; I thought it would be a great place to have one.
removing the tape!
Why did you choose the design that you did?
4-H has been an important part of my life: I've been a 4-H member/leader most of my life, and my first job out of college was as 4-H educator for Columbia County. Our local 4-H club (Welsh Prairie Livewires) is celebrating 80 years this year, so I chose a 4-H quilt pattern. Painting is complete! Now she just has to hang it on her barn.
I'll be posting more pictures on the progress of my quilt and maybe we'll have some pictures of Becky's barn quilt hung later too!

Jim Carrey. Jennifer Lopez. Jamie Foxx.
Each performer arguably owes their career to breakout roles on the 1990s sketch comedy show "In Living Color." Deadline reports "In Living Color" is set to get a reboot on Fox.
The brains behind the original, Keenen Ivory Wayans, has signed on as host and executive producer for two new half-hour specials, according to Deadline. The entertainment site reports "In Living Color" could be picked up as a regular series next season if all goes well.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
No word on if other Wayans siblings – Damon, Shawn, Kim and Marlon – will have a role on the new series. Perhaps Jim Carrey will cameo as Fire Marshall Bill?
Deadline also doesn't say whether Keenen Ivory Wayans plans to resurrect the fly girls, an in-between-sketches dance troupe that once included Jennifer Lopez.
The original "In Living Color" series ended in 1994 after five seasons. Wayans went on to develop the "Scary Movie" franchise.
Hopefully he hasn't lost his eye for undiscovered talent.

Rick Perry has recently spoken out about Texas seceding from the Union. From the New York Times:
"When we came into the Union in 1845, one of the issues was that we would be able to leave if we decided to do that," he told reporters on Wednesday. "My hope is that America, and Washington in particular, pay attention. We've got a great Union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, who knows what may come of that?"
Democrats have already begun making disapproving noises:
State Senator Rodney Ellis, a Houston Democrat, said Mr. Perry had not only opened himself to ridicule but also evoked a time most Texans would rather forget. "Texas has become a hotbed of right-wing political activity," Mr. Ellis said, "but I think even those folks on the far right think this is over the top."
And Perry has already begun to backtrack:
After the rallies, Perry downplayed his secession comments, amending them in an interview with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram to say, "I'm trying to make the Obama Administration pay attention to the 10th Amendment."
So what's the whole point of this? It's just another Republican establishment figure going out on a limb to try to grab the Ron Paul constituency before what looks to be a nasty primary fight. Of course, the fact that at least part of the GOP now has to sound like hardcore libertarians on what used to be considered fringe issues can be considered encouraging to the movement.
I don't know a whole lot about Perry's record in Texas, so I don't know if he's a worthwhile politician and therefore worthy of our support. I would tend to suspect he's not, just on general principle when dealing with Republicans.
But this, and the broader 10th Amendment movement in general, does represent a sea change in libertarian thought. Back in 2006, the Libertarian Party had a vicious fight between the Radical Caucus and the Reform Caucus. Reform ended up winning, but it seems like a lot of the people in the Radical Caucus ended up reappearing in Ron Paul's presidential bid in 2008, in the GOP. And now, as an effective component of the Paul wing of the GOP, they are sounding more credible and wield more political power than they could have had by winning the fight for the LP in 2006. Maybe Michael Medved was right.

A Tour of the Granola Factory in Bethlehem, PA
Granola is somewhere between cereal and cookies. Pop a handful of the oat-clustery nuggets and you realize how close they are to oatmeal cookie crumbs. And that's part of why we love it so much: you can pretend you're not eating cookies for breakfast, but you kind of are.
It's no big surprise then that a granola factory smells like a bakery with cookies in the oven. Trays of 'nola brown and cool on racks at the Granola Factory in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where 24-year-old Calvin Virgilio took us on a tour. He grew up at his family's B&B around the corner, the quaint Bethlehem Inn, where his mom Suzanne has been serving her honey pecan granola to guests with breakfast for years.
Once the guests became hooked and started demanding the recipe, she couldn't bake enough of the stuff at the inn's kitchen. In 2006, they opened a bakery around the corner.
It's a simple operation inside this 3,000-square-foot bakery: one oven, one mixer, and two other bakers in addition to Calvin and Suzanne. They produce 800 bags a week in a few different flavors: Cherry Almond Quinoa, Honey Pecan, and Organic Grains and Honey. "The cherry almond granola came from a scone recipe," said Suzanne, who also teaches home-ec at the nearby Easton Area High School.
The Granola Factory's bakery is open Thursdays and Fridays. Pick up a bag of granola or whatever else looks good—they also bake fresh scones, muffins, Bethlehem Bars, and offer a savory lunch menu. You can find the granola at select Wegmens stores where it's about $5 a bag; they're working to expand to more markets, including Whole Foods, this year. Or order online.

Adan is Sindarin for a "Man" (i.e., as opposed to Elf, Dwarf, Hobbit, etc.). The plural is Edain. Properly, this word refers only to those Men who are descended from the Three Houses of Elf-friends.
The term often appears as an element of other words, notably Dúnadan (Man of the West, Numenorean) and Elladan (Elf-man, referring to his Half-Elven heritage).

A Night to Remember
Springtime in New York City, and the Grill Room of the Four Seasons Restaurant was shoulder-to-shoulder with men in tuxedos smoking cigars. They had gathered together in an effort to bring an end to prostate cancer at Cigar Aficionado's 15th annual Night to Remember dinner, which has raised more than $15 million over the years for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. This year's auction raised $1.2 million, including $600,000 in matching funds from Michael Milken, the charity's founder and chairman.
Marvin R. Shanken, the editor and publisher of Cigar Aficionado magazine and the creator of the event, walked through the room greeting the guests, including California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican presidential hopeful and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, radio personality Rush Limbaugh and Milken, the evening's co-host.

The elite of the cigar industry were in attendance, including Cooper Gardiner, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, Sherwin Seltzer, Mike Giannini, Bill Chilian, Victoria McKee, Jermaine Gurvin and Keith Sparacio of General Cigar Co.; Carlos Fuente Jr. and Wayne Suarez of Tabacalera A. Fuente; José Orlando and Jorge Padrón, makers of Padrón cigars; Robert Levin, owner of the Ashton brand, who was there with his wife, Suzanne, and son Sathya; Litto Gomez, maker of La Flor Dominicana;

Shanken took to the dais and welcomed the sold-out crowd of some 230 guests, many of whom had attended the dinner for more than 10 years. "The first thing we do," said Shanken with a smile, "is we auction off some modest bottles of wine." His joke became clear as he lifted a massive bottle of wine, cloaked in a brown paper bag. It was the first mystery wine, and by Night to Remember tradition, the bottle's contents would remain anonymous until bidding had ceased, and the winner would share it immediately with his lucky tablemates. Bottle No. 1 went for $18,000, won by Limbaugh, who typically buys the first bottle. It was revealed as a 2000 Mouton-Rothschild -- and it had been donated by Limbaugh.
|Sal Fontana, Carlos Fuente Jr. and Christian Eiroa share a smoke before dinner.
The tables were set with towers of hors d'oeuvres, and the waiters soon filled glasses with M. Chapoutier Hermitage White Chante-Alouette 2003 to pair with the appetizer course of stone crab claws with mandarin yuzu, followed by a pasta course of gnocchi with chanterelles, morels and tiny spring peas. That was followed by sirloin steak in a black truffle sauce, paired with zucchini blossoms stuffed with bleu cheese, which went with the red wine of the evening, Caymus Special Selection 2004. Dessert was paired with a 37-year-old Vintage Port, Taylor Fladgate 1970.

Riggio took two of the night's cigar lots, claiming an assortment of La Gloria Cubana cigars, which were enclosed in several rare humidors, for $22,000. The lot was donated by General Cigar. Riggio also won the final lot of the evening, a collection of 340 Padrón cigars, including a sold-out Padrón Millennium humidor plus 240 customized Padrón 80th Anniversary cigars, which are not yet on the market. The lot, donated by the Padrón family, sold for $24,000.

Five hours on a NetJets Gulfstream 450, donated by NetJets chairman Richard Santulli, went for $55,000 to Chris Preziosi. Tom Shannon III of T-Bird Restaurant Group Inc. won a 2007 Cadillac XLR donated by Gary Cowger, group vice president of General Motors Corp., with a bid of $75,000.
C.A.O. International Inc. donated a lot featuring a signed copy of the pilot episode script of the HBO hit "The Sopranos," plus a signed C.A.O. Tony Soprano humidor, 348 cigars and a trip to Central America to blend a cigar.

After the auction, several men spoke to the crowd, including Schwarzenegger, one of only two living persons to appear twice on the cover of Cigar Aficionado. He received a standing ovation. "It's a great pleasure to be here today, and to be with all of you," he said. "Democrats, Republicans, we all like to smoke stogies, and we like to contribute."
|Ernesto Padilla, owner of Padilla Cigars (left) and General Cigar's Cooper Gardiner.
Greenfield spoke excitedly about the notion of having a cigar smoker in the White House again. "We may have, someday, a person in the Oval Office who, when he talks of a thousand points of light, he means the light at the end of a cigar."

Giuliani spoke poignantly about the importance of the evening. "My dad did die of prostate cancer, and the first year I came here was the year before I had it," he said. He went to Milken for information, a man he had prosecuted in his former role as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. "Michael and I had a complicated past. It's remarkable what he's done for prostate cancer, and it's remarkable what Marvin has done."
"When I was a kid, when I found out my father had cancer, it was a death sentence," said Giuliani, who has lived with his cancer for six years. "Now, some of these cancers have 75 percent survivor rates. That's the only political pitch I'll make -- for optimism."

As the plates were cleared and Port glasses filled, Shanken took to the podium again, this time with a large cigar in his mouth. The waiters brought out Humidipak bags filled with cigars. He lit, and he puffed. "Gentlemen, start your engines," he said. "This is a cigar dinner."

Fox & Friends Cribs RNC Doc To Attack Dems For "Pivoting" To "Jobs"
Fox & Friends aired several segments today criticizing Democrats and President Obama for "pivoting" to "jobs" after the default crisis was resolved. The co-hosts wondered "what's new" about their pledges, as Obama has been "talking about" jobs and the economy "for two years," which they suggested meant Obama wasn't actually as focused on jobs as he claimed to be.
If this sounds familiar, then you, too, probably read an August 2 Republican National Committee (RNC) research document that made the exact same argument using very similar language.
At the very least, it seems pretty clear that Fox & Friends' segments were inspired by the RNC's research department. Observe:
- RNC Says: "Obama will be more focused on saving his own job."
- Fox & Friends Says: Co-host Steve Doocy said of Obama and Democrats: "Obviously what they're doing is they're trying to protect their jobs."
- RNC Says: Democrats are "Pivoting in Circles."
- Fox & Friends Says: Doocy said of Democrats: "They're pivoting so much they're spinning around in a circle."
- RNC Says: "ObamaCare Was A Distraction From The 'Jobs Problem.' "
- Fox & Friends Says: Co-host Gretchen Carlson concluded the show's first segment on the topic by saying: "When you look back in history, people will say that he was not talking about jobs when he was talking about health care. ... Many could argue that maybe he should have been talking about jobs, and maybe we wouldn't be at the situation that we are now."
- RNC Says: The Democrats' "pledges" to focus on jobs "sound familiar."
- Fox & Friends Says: During their segments, on-screen text aired which said, "Déjà vu? President Offers Similar Strategies In Speech."
- Fox & Friends Says: Doocy also quipped that Obama's "been talking about the economy and it being fragile, and jobs is his job one for the last two years. So what's new?"
- ·Fox & Friends Says: Fox & Friends also repeatedly aired a video montage of Obama discussing jobs as his priority during the past two years.
Of course, this isn't the first time Fox has looked to the Republican Party's research or press releases for inspiration.
Back in 2009, for instance, Fox News' Happening Now passed off a Senate Republican Communications Center press release as its own research -- typo and all. More recently, Happening Now reported that "Today, the headline is this ... government spending as a share of our economy will increase by nearly 70 percent by 2035." Earlier that day, House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) issued a press release which stated that "government spending as a share of the economy will increase by nearly 70 percent between now and 2035."
Fox figures repeatedly used the GOP's "ram it through" language to attack health care reform. They adopted the GOP's choice phrase of "Obamacare" to describe health care reform. And in 2009, Fox & Friends recited a misleading House GOP press release to distort Obama's estimates of the stimulus' job impacts.
The examples of Fox News' tendency to lift "news" from GOP materials are numerous. Today's Fox & Friends segment is just the latest example proving that Fox News isn't a news outlet, it's the Republican Party's cable propaganda network.

How Will Nats Perform Sans Their Skipper?
I wasn't going to post this morning with no real news coming out of the Sox camp during the off-day.
But then came the news that our next opponent's skipper, Washington's Jim Riggleman, had resigned when his GM Mike Rizzo refused to talk with him about an extension.
The whole situation is strange, but if you read between the lines it seems that the fact the Nationals front office didn't want to engage in any dialogue means Riggleman wasn't their guy going forward–and he saw it coming. At least that's my opinion.
So, how does it affect the Sox this weekend? Well, the Nationals come in on fire, having won 11 of their last 12. We just have to hope that despite their recent surge they are a bit dazed and confused with the managerial controversy.
A sweep will put us over .500.

A good live album can make you wish you�d been there. A really good live album makes you downright angry that you weren�t. I�ve been listening to Brian Setzer�s �Rockabilly Riot! Live from the Planet� (Surfdog Records), and I am one mad dude.
Why this tour never made it to Boston I don�t know � maybe we�re considered too Brahman to appreciate real-live rockabilly? � but it�s clear that Beantown missed out: Expanding upon the trio format he favored with the Stray Cats, virtuoso guitarist Setzer builds on his solo sound with two drummers, two stand-up bass players and a boogie-woogie piano. The result is 15 tracks that alternatively simmer, boil and explode. It�s a riot, all right.
Several of the standouts originated on Setzer�s stellar 2001 �68 Comeback Special album �Ignition,� including the explosive title track and the driving country-rock stomper �8 Track,� which appears here with yodeling (mostly) intact. And not surprisingly, this band is a perfect fit with the Sun Records covers Setzer trotted out for his original �Rockabilly Riot!� album (2005) � �Put Your Cat Clothes On� captures the sweat and fire that must have accompanied the song when Carl Perkins burned through it in dingy rockabilly clubs 50 years ago.
Setzer also strips down � and opens up � some of his big-band arrangements for songs like �This Cat�s On A Hot Tin Roof,� making them feel looser, louder and more dangerous � it�s a nice combination. And some new covers do a great job of spotlighting the band�s strengths, among them a perfectly paced version of �Slow Down� into �Folsom Prison Blues� and the album�s closer, the unjustifiably near-forgotten Moon Mullican classic �Seven Nights to Rock.�
In fact, if the collection stumbles anywhere, it�s actually on the Stray Cats numbers, which have been done to death � the expanded lineup doesn�t really bring anything new to �Rumble in Brighton� or �Runaway Boys,� which could probably stand at least a temporary retirement.
But that�s a quibble � for the most part, �Live from the Planet,� recorded at shows in Europe, North America, Japan and Australia, is a fantastic souvenir for the rockabilly rebels lucky enough to have been there, and a reminder to the rest of us to get there next time, come hell or high water.

VENICE, Italy — Scott Haze says he spent three cold months living in the mountains of Tennessee, subsisting on one piece of fish and one apple a day, and sleeping in caves to prepare for the role of deranged killer Lester Ballard in the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel "Child of God."
"I knew that this was a role that I had to go to crazy extreme lengths," Haze said in an interview Saturday ahead of the film's world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival.
Haze's Lester Ballard descends into violence after being kicked off his family's land and losing his parents, moving outside the social order into caves where he abandons himself to extreme degradation. McCarthy's character was inspired by real-life killer and body snatcher Ed Gein, who also was the basis for the Norman Bates character in "Psycho," and Leatherface of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
To prepare for the Ballard role, Haze said he dropped from 195 pounds to 150 pounds (88 kilograms to 68 kilograms) on the apple-and-fish diet while living in a cabin in the Tennessee mountains, sleeping at times in caves, often without a sleeping bag, until the December temperatures dropped too low.
"I slept in caves many nights with bats all around. It was crazy," Haze said. "I let everything go, just hung out with the hillbillies and stayed as isolated as possible."
The only thing he took with him "from society": an iPod loaded with Eminem music.
Director James Franco said Haze took off for the hills without consulting the director and showed up to shoot not only looking the part — undernourished, ratty beard and disheveled — but acting it. Haze "didn't really talk to anyone, stayed to himself, and was like that for the whole shoot," Franco told reporters.
The director said audiences may think he "found some maniac in the woods and shot him. But it is Scott giving the performance of a lifetime."
Haze said he managed to stay "in the mind-state" while filming, conceding he was "not in this world." He didn't check his phone, text messages or even how his beloved Lakers were doing.
"I thought, at the end of the day, we'd have a great movie and James and I would hug each other and say we did it." Haze said. He hopes people will look back on "Child of God" as film as pivotal as "Taxi Driver," "which was really shocking back in the day. And we get to say, 'Hey, we did something special, and I think we did.'"
Haze and Franco, longtime collaborators, are part of a clutch of young performers in Los Angeles who are not just acting, but writing and directing films and theater.
Haze said he detoxed from the Ballard role by directing a documentary about wrestler Lee Kemp, who missed his shot at the Olympics due to the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Moscow Game. He also recently built a theater in Los Angeles and started a film festival to help young actors and directors get a start.
Franco, a prolific actor, director and writer, also is appearing in Venice in "Palo Alto," based on a book he wrote about teens in his home town, directed by Gia Coppola.
Though Haze has had numerous writing , directing and acting credits, he isn't sure if he's had his breakthrough.
"Maybe James Franco. Maybe," he said. "It was big. You asked me, what is my big moment in acting? It's this. It's this movie."

Kerala is one of the ten 'Paradises Found' by the National Geographic
Traveler, for its diverse geography and overwhelming greenery. It is a land much
acclaimed for the contemporary nature of its cultural ethos, and much
appreciated for the soothing, rejuvenating paradise that it is.
Kerala is a narrow fertile strip on the southwest coast of India, sandwiched
between the Lakshadweep Sea and the Western Ghats. The Western Ghats with their
dense forests and extensive ridges have sheltered Kerala from many mainland
invaders and the long coastline has encouraged maritime contact with the outside
world - a contact that has resulted in an interesting blend of cultures.
Kerala is a state on the Malabar Coast of southwestern India. To its
east and northeast, Kerala borders Tamil Nadu and Karnataka respectively; to its
west and south lie Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean with the islands of
Lakshadweep and the Maldives, respectively. Kerala envelops Mahé, a coastal
exclave of Pondicherry. Kerala is one of the four states in South India.
First settled in the 10th century BCE by speakers of P cxroto-South
Dravidian, Kerala was influenced by the Mauryan Empire. Later, the Cheran
kingdom and feudal Namboothiri Brahminical city-states became major powers in
the region. Early contact with overseas lands culminated in struggles between
colonial and native powers. Finally, the States Reorganisation Act of November
1, 1956 elevated Kerala to statehood.
Social reforms enacted in the late 19th
century by Cochin and Travancore were expanded upon by post-Independence
governments, making Kerala among the Third World's longest-lived, healthiest,
most gender-equitable, and most literate regions. However, Kerala's suicide, alcoholism and unemployment rates rank among India's highest.
The etymology of Kerala
is widely disputed, and is a matter of conjecture. It may derive from Sanskrit
keralam, means 'the land added on', with reference to its mythical and
geographical origins. Another prevailing theory states that it is an imperfect
Malayalam portmanteau that fuses kera
('coconut palm tree') and alam ('land' or 'location' or 'abode of' ).
Natives of Kerala—Keralites—thus refer to their land as Keralam. The most reliable theory is that the name is originated from the
phrase chera alam (Land of the Chera). Kerala's tourism industry,
among others, also use the phrase God's own country.

Ever since I saw this dress on the web during Fashion Week season, I haven't been able to get it out of my head, so I gathered all my DIY skills and decided to make it happen right at home.
I hope you can follow my steps, its actually a very easy DIY, although the whole stitching part can get tricky since you have to be VERY precise, but I recommend you to try it!
My trick was to buy a small mens white shirt, because it was already giving that "oversized/dress" look, the neon yellow fabric was a strike of good luck at the fabric store (you can use any color you like)…What are you waiting for? Time for some stitching!
Now I just need the weather to get better so I can give you outfit shots, or even better, I will take this baby to play in Santorini in May! :D
EDIT: A lot of you have asked me what happened to the pockets and truth is, I decided to make it without them so it wouldn't get complicated.
You are also wondering about the yellow fabric, it is NOT lycra and it doesn't have any stretch, I think its better this way and the quality of it seems better.
Oh and I have a SINGER sewing machine!
Desde que vi este vestido en la web, no me lo he podido sacar de la cabeza y como no tenia idea de conde conseguirlo, decidi hacerlo yo misma.
Espero que puedan seguir los pasos, la verdad esta muy simple pero recuerden que en la parte de las costuras, tienen que ser súper precisas, si no, quedara fruncido.
Yo compre una camisa para hombre en talla chica para que se viera mas como vestido y con mucha suerte encontré esta tela amarillo neón, pero tu puedes usar el color que quieras.
¿Que esperas? A coser se ha dicho :D
P.S- Mi maquina es SINGER para las que me han preguntado.
