Honeywell Reinvents Area-Imaging With The N5600 Engine
N5600 Series Delivers Industry Firsts and High-Performance Scanning on a Long-Lasting Technology Platform
Honeywell recently announced the introduction of the N5600 series of area-imaging engines, providing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with a long-lasting platform that meets the bar code scanning needs of end users in virtually all markets. The N5600 is the industry's first bar code optimized image engine with color imaging capabilities, eliminating the need for a separate camera and reducing hardware acquisition costs. This innovation in color technology delivers to OEMs and end users the flexibility to meet today's needs while also anticipating the needs of tomorrow.
As the world's first engine developed with Adaptus Imaging Technology 6.0, the N5600 provides scanning out to 16.5 inches on 100% U.P.C. bar codes, exceptional motion tolerance and flexible aiming options for use in the most demanding bar code scanning applications—indoors or outdoors. The N5600 enables vastly superior reading performance on hard-to-read bar codes, including those found on the screen of mobile devices, expanding the market OEMs can reach with their integrated offerings.
"Nearly seven years ago, Honeywell technologists set out to re-invent bar code imaging. This multi-year effort generated numerous innovations, which have become part of Honeywell's newest and most powerful image engine platform," said Robert Hussey, director of global OEM marketing, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. "Honeywell has been leading the bar code imaging industry for almost 15 years. The introduction of the N5600 is another major milestone to carry forward the next generation of performance, flexibility and customer solutions."
The N5600 is compatible with Honeywell's TotalFreedom development platform and Remote MasterMind (ReM) remote device management software. The TotalFreedom platform allows OEMs to add custom features via software plug-ins through a pre-defined application programming interface. ReM software provides a quick and convenient solution for remotely managing devices integrated with N5600 engines. The N5600 comes fully backed by Honeywell's expert OEM sales and integration engineering support, ensuring fast and effective integration and service throughout the life of the engine.
The N5600 is available for sale today. For more information visit www.honeywellaidc.com.

Vote of the week: Picking a place to eat
Written by Robert Niles
I know that this isn't an issue at many regional amusement parks, where your lunch and dinner options are limited to the same fare you'd find at a typical mall food court. But I'm interested in reading about how TPI readers make a decision at parks like those run by Disney, Universal and Busch, where visitors have the option of a finer dining experience.Tweet
What are you looking for at mealtime in a theme park? What is the most tempting factor that lures you to a particular place to eat, whether that be a sit-down restaurant, counter-service joint, or even the Turkey Leg Wagon?
Tell us, in the comments, about your favorite theme park eateries.
Readers' Opinions
From Mark Hollamon on January 11, 2008 at 6:14 AM
Disney had always been a trend setter when it comes to good food at the parks. Animal Kingdom had a little catching up to do with variety of restaurants, but they have revamped Tuskers and with the new Yak and Yeti open there is really a good variety.
I have always been a fan of Mythos and still agree it is one of if not the best theme park restaurant I have experienced.
From Matthew Baker on January 11, 2008 at 6:43 AM
My priority is good, decent-quality non-fast food. Nearly all of the relatively few theme-park fast-food encounters I've had have been far less than spectacular, and I'd rather go without altogether. My preference is a good station-service or sit-down, in a moderate price range. (Most of my theme-park time is at Disneyland; there, Plaza Inn and Redd Rockett's are my mainstays.)
Another important thing is a friendly seating situation. I don't have the benefit of being in a group of others where one could go scout a table while the others are ordering. The possibility of ordering and then not being able to find a table, combined with not having the "clout" a group of several members would have, is usually offputting and a source of discomfort. I haven't had any severe incidents happen yet, but I also have safety protocols I follow, such as avoiding peak times and simple spidey sense. A very real risk I have yet to figure out is not getting thrown out if I have to get up from the table for a bit. I came within two seconds of this happening at DLR recently.
From Crystal A on January 11, 2008 at 7:38 AM
My favorite for Dinner is San Angel Inn- Mexico in Epcot, Breakfast- Whispering Canyon- Wilderness Lodge on Disney Property, Lunch- Sci Fi Cafe Disney's Hollywood Studios.
The highlight of many of our theme pary trips is picking a place to eat. I also love the Shark Reef at Seaworld. I don't like seafood but the atmosphere is really great.
From Joshua Counsil on January 11, 2008 at 9:47 AM
In Orlando, we usually leave the park and go to a nearby hotel to eat dinner. For example, we'll go to Animal Kingdom Lodge if we're at Animal Kingdom or the Boardwalk if we're at Epcot.
The hotel food is much better than the theme park food, and the restaurants are usually less crowded and more comfortable.
From Terri Thomas on January 11, 2008 at 9:59 AM
My comment concerns only WDW dining:
Even with so many dining choices available, if you want to be sure you'll eat at your dream spot at your dream time, you need to make a reservation way in advance. So months before we head down to WDW we decide where we'll eat if we want a sit down meal.
Once our dining choices are made it pretty much controls our WDW itinerary. We're not going to be at Epcot if we've made reservations for Boma at AK that night.
But...first us control freaks consult the WDW "Book of all information" to see what the best day is for that park first. So if let's say Monday is reported to be a slow day for Epcot (we try to avoid any park with extra magic hours - check the online calendar) we may make reservations there and so it continues for the rest of the week.
It has actually helped us to know in advance where we'll be headed on which day, as we now avoid the "walk about in a tight circle with hand on forehead wondering where to go & what to do next" dance. (anyone else been to that one?)
Our kids are young teen sons so all they care about is portion size. We're going this March-April & I've made reservations for Boma, San Angel & Liberty Tree Tavern. We haven't been to the 1st two yet & Liberty is just a family fav with the grandparents.
Tip: Lunch can be far less costly than dinner at some of the finer restaurants. Eat a big breakfast, make a lunch reservation for one of the latest time slots available (generally much less crowded then traditional lunch times) and then grab some light snacks during the fireworks or parade.
From Robert OGrosky on January 11, 2008 at 10:17 AM
For me it gets down to quick service and hopefully the rest. is near by. Since I only go down to FLA/CA every 2-4 years my time in the park is very important. So my goal is to eat decent food in as timely manner as I can so I can then go back out and ride as many rides as possbile and soak up the atmosphere. If I lived closer to the big theme parks and visited more often than I would perfer quality more than I do now.
So for me I can always eat very good meals at home. but it is much harder at home to get a true theme park experience.
From Robert Niles on January 11, 2008 at 10:34 AM
I want to throw in a good word for the Busch parks, and for Legoland. I've found the food at both to be far above average for the industry. After all, when you think about it, Busch is the only theme park company whose primary business is a food product. (Yeah, it's beer, but still....)
From Anthony J on January 11, 2008 at 11:04 AM
I can't imagine going on a trip to Universal and not eating at Mythos in Islands of Adventure. It's one of my favorite restaurants ANYWHERE.
From Missy Renee on January 11, 2008 at 11:14 AM
If I didn't have young children, my vote would have been high quality food, for sure. But let's face it, ninety percent of the time when I am in a theme park I have my 3 and 5 year olds with me, so they factor into the decision a great deal. I try to look for places that have child friendly and healthy options. Beverages are where we usually have difficulty, because our children don't drink soft drinks. We prefer milk, and then real fruit juice (in that order), but it is not always available. In a pinch, a non-carbonated and caffeine free drink like fruit punch is acceptable, or the old stand-by of bottled water. But we drink bottled water throughout the day, so we like to give them something different during meal times if possible.
From Robert Niles on January 11, 2008 at 11:22 AM
Missy, I carry bottled water and just skip ordering a drink with lunch. If we're at a counter service place, we just drink our bottled water. And if it is a table service restaurant, we request the tap water. No calories, no carbs, the best hydration and no cost!
From Lawrence Smith on January 11, 2008 at 4:03 PM
I voted for the high quality, cooked to order food. I don't mind paying a little more for a tasty meal. And given since it's a theme park, most of the prices are usually high anyway so a few extra dollars shouldn't hurt to enjoy a pleasant dining experience.
From rick stevens on January 11, 2008 at 11:19 PM
I would have to say that my vote would vary with the people I am with. I am partial to the high end meals, but the counter selections are not half bad.
From Larry Zimmerman on January 12, 2008 at 5:13 AM
All of the above. Fortunately, in the higher end theme parks, you can usually find a combination of most of these. Take, for example, the Stanleyville Smokehouse in Busch Gardens Africa. You are instantly attracted by the tantalizing aroma of beef and chicken being cooked over a fire including the "wood of the day," which varies in the mix to subtly change the barbeque flavor in the meats. Your seating area includes a close-up view of the "splash-down" pool through which SheiKra splooshes every minute or so while you enjoy the best smoked barbeque in the park...a true feast for all your senses!
From rafael g on January 13, 2008 at 10:07 AM
it is not about the money to me. where i get mad is when i pay a lot of money for crappy food. i want quality food in a clean indoor place. not fast food and eat outside.
From Chris Walton on January 13, 2008 at 12:30 PM
I like Mythos at IOA, even though I feel it's a little overrated. The Sci-Fi Diner at MGM is a must for the well themed environment. Epcot has too many great restaurants to choose from.
From Erik Yates on January 14, 2008 at 7:06 AM
I think all of these are important, but when it comes to big theme park resturaunts, the best is getting a place that can seat you when you're ready to eat. Even with places like disney where its recomended that you make reservations, you still end up waiting anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes to get seated. I'd gladly sacrifice things like themeing for a place thats ready when I am.
From Mostly Anonymous on January 14, 2008 at 1:35 PM
Our main decision criteria wasn't an option, so I didn't actually vote. We choose primarily based on what we feel like eating. If we're craving burgers, we head to place that sells burgers. If it's a cold, dreary winter day, we'll walk all the way across the park for a bowl of hot clam chowder.

All-Star St. Pierre & Sobotka Back from Boston
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, in their 17th season in the American Hockey League, announced that the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins have assigned centers Martin St. Pierre and Vladimir Sobotka to Providence. With the moves, the P-Bruins have 24 players on their roster, including 15 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders.
St. Pierre, 25, has seen action in nine games for Boston over two call-ups this season, registering one goal and two assists. The fifth-year pro returns to Providence, where he has amassed 35 points (10g, 25a) in 30 games, earning him his fourth straight AHL All-Star selection. St. Pierre has started for the Canadian team in each of the last two seasons and, on Tuesday, was named a reserve for the upcoming 2009 AHL All-Star Classic presented by Charter Communications.
St. Pierre ranks 17th in the AHL and second on Providence with 35 points in 30 games. His 10 goals are tied for second on the P-Bruins while he is tied for first with 25 assists. The forward also leads Providence with 10 multiple-point games and he has produced three point-streaks of at least four games, including an 11-point (2g, 9a), six-game run in November. His performance earned him the P-Bruins' November Player of the Month award after totaling 16 points, including 12 assists, over 14 games.
St. Pierre was recalled to Boston for the first time on December 20, 2008, making his Bruins debut the following night on the road against the St. Louis Blues in a 6-3 Boston win. The center recorded his first career Boston point that night with an assist and added his first Bruins goal on December 30, 2008 versus the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 5-2 victory.
Signed as a free agent by the Chicago Blackhawks on November 12, 2005, St. Pierre was acquired by Boston in a July 24, 2008 trade for left wing Pascal Pelletier. In his career, the undrafted native of Ottawa, Ontario, has 369 points (102g, 267a) in 348 games spanning the NHL, AHL, ECHL and international play in Russia. Prior to joining Boston, St. Pierre appeared in 21 career NHL games in three seasons for Chicago, scoring four points (g, 3a). He also finished second in the AHL in scoring in both 2007-08 for the Rockford Ice Hogs and 2006-07 for the Norfolk Admirals.
Sobotka, 21, has suited up in 15 games for Boston this season, recording a goal and an assist over two recalls. The second-year center has added 21 points (10g, 11a) in 17 games for Providence. He returns to the P-Bruins riding a five-game AHL point-streak dating back to November 28, 2008, during which he has registered seven points (2g, 5a). Sobotka has seven multiple-point games and his 10 goals tie him with St. Pierre and Mikko Lehtonen for second on the team behind Martins Karsums' 16 goals.
Sobotka split the 2007-08 campaign between Boston and Providence, appearing in 48 regular season games with Boston while amassing seven points (g, 6a), plus another six Stanley Cup Playoff contests, where he scored two goals versus the Montreal Canadiens. His first NHL point came on December 12, 2007, recording an assist against the Atlanta Thrashers. Sobotka also enjoyed several other NHL firsts, including his first goal at Pittsburgh on February 13, his only multiple-point game with two assists April 4 against the Ottawa Senators, his playoff debut at Montreal on April 12 and the first of two playoff goals five nights later. A native of Trebic, Czech Republic, Sobotka had 20 points (10g, 10a) and a plus-12 rating in 18 regular season games for the P-Bruins a year ago.
Sobotka was drafted by Boston 106th overall in the fourth round of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.
Providence Bruins season tickets, Flex Tix packages and single game tickets are on sale now for the 2008-09 season. To purchase tickets or to learn more information, call the P-Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at providencebruins.com.

I'm pretty sure in a couple months that will read, "Katar?"
So Dr. Occult is hanging around the main DCU? I was hoping he'd be used in Earth 2 by the Justice Society similar to how Phantom Stranger is used by the Justice League. I suppose he could be from Earth 2. There is no stopping him from jumping from one earth to another.
I missed Savage last week but well you know…. "Players only love you when they're playing."
Not only did Gary Frank talk about "The Curse of SHAZAM!" with CBR but he also spoke with Newsarama. In that interview he lets us know we'll be seeing both Marry and Freddie.
Mary and Freddie are there. Mary hasn't changed much but we've had a little fun tweaking Freddie. There will be other kids, too, and I hope the readers will enjoy getting to know them.
It's good to know Mary and Freddie will be around. I wonder if the other kids will be similar to those we saw in Flashpoint.
Newsarama has look at Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's Justice League backup, "The Curse of SHAZAM." Here is a exerpt from the article:
Johns verified that the book will include new takes on Billy, Mary, Freddie, Sivana, the Wizard and Black Adam. While the hero that Billy becomes was formerly called Captain Marvel, Billy's heroic character will now be known as Shazam, and Frank told Newsarama he'll get a new costume that reflects his magical origin.

Most Americans don't need more reasons to hate a group that burns down churches, but here's another one that may or may not be true.
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, which recently was ousted from power by the Egyptian military, is accused of soaking puppies with gas, lighting them and throwing them at the army, according to reports on Breitbart.com and other websites.
According to animal rescuers in New Jersey, only three of 20 puppies used as firebombs were able to be rescued. Those animals can be seen at petfinder.com.
But is the story true?
A reporter from The Guardian says he finds the story difficult to believe.
"Gathering 20 puppies, transporting them to a protest, dousing them in petrol, and then throwing them at soldiers while being teargassed strikes me as not just impractical, but nigh-on impossible," said Patrick Kingsley in a Huffington Post UK article.
It is not clear when the alleged attack occurred, but I find it suspicious the dogs were transported to the U.S., which requires all sorts of paperwork on imported pets. And a Molotov cocktail is easier to throw and more effective than a weaponized puppy.
Foreign Policy says there's no proof this has happened and called the idea 'wildly impractical.'
Journalist Patrick Galey contacted the New Jersey animal group, which said it accepted the puppies from Egyptian animal rescuers without questioning the wild claims.

General Motors used to use live pigs and other animals in crash tests before being publically humiliated by PETA during the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena. Proctor and Gamble continue to kill nearly 50,000 animals annually in "safety" tests that nearly all of their competitors have replaced with computer modeling, tissue culture testing, and other cruelty-free alternatives.
Stories abounded about Iraqis throwing babies to the floor from incubators in Kuwaiti hospitals. This was all a ploy to get the gullible American people to back our first invasion of Iraq. Of course the stories were absolutely false, but even congress believed them.

Ancient Egyptians revered cats, because they were enslaved by alien cat-people and forced to build the pyramids, so they've probably been breed to see dogs as inferior beings and thus suitable for weaponization. So… it's absolutley true.

When your source is Breitbart, you're probably wrong.

Since Long Term Fox News Watching ROTS the Brain … then maybe YOU should STOP watching.
Liberals really should STOP watching Fox, and STOP listening to Limbaugh and Hannity. The constant references to them prove that YOU tune in and why their ratings are so darn high.
To answer the original question … Bernie31 most likely participates in this ritual with HIS brothers. That small dog he uses as a profile picture could be a symbolic reference.

Senators moved Wednesday to limit what they and witnesses repeatedly called "creepy" — the ability of new machines that read and record license plate numbers to track motorists' trips and whereabouts.
"That is creepy. It is definitely 'Big Brother' government," said Sen. Margaret Dayton, R-Orem.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The Senate Transportation Committee voted unanimously to pass SB196, and sent it to the full Senate. It would allow law enforcement agencies to keep data from license-plate readers only for up to nine months, and allow private companies to keep such data for only seven days.
Utah law is now silent about how long such data may be kept, and how it may be used.
The bill also would ban private parties — such as a divorce lawyer trying to prove infidelity — from using open-records laws to obtain such government records.
Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, the bill's sponsor, said use of such machines now help police recover 1,300 stolen vehicles a year in Utah. But he worries that as such machines are used in more places, it could allow tracking travel by people over time and become an invasion of privacy.
"It's creepy," he said. Weiler added that he went on a ride-along to watch such a machine, and found it could quickly read and store about 500 license plates in five minutes in a store parking lot.
Not only that, he said the reader could be in a car going 80 miles an hour in one direction, and read the plate of a car going 80 mph in an opposite direction at night, in the fog and in a storm "because of infrared technology."
Police want to keep data for longer periods, saying it could help solve cold cases by showing if a suspect was near a crime scene. Ogden City Attorney Gary Williams said that is "not any more creepy than what is going on every single day" by being able to track people through cell phone calls, security cameras and credit-card transactions.
But Marina Lowe, an attorney for the ACLU civil rights group, said keeping data for 12 hours would be sufficient to enforce parking violations or find stolen cars. "A core principle in our society is that the government does not invade people's privacy and collect information about citizen's innocent activities just in case they happen to do something wrong."
Two conservative groups — the Utah Eagle Forum and the 9/12 Project — also spoke in favor of keeping data for only short periods.
Weiler's bill comes after a firestorm last summer created by a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration request to put readers on freeways in southwestern Utah to record the license-plate numbers of all vehicles there to help catch drug runners, as it does in drug corridors in Texas and California.
Public outcry led DEA to withdraw the request. But lawmakers learned that numerous police agencies already are using mobile license-plate readers — leading to Weiler's bill about how long the data may be kept.

I just purchased this and I've had it for about a week. I recently became infatuated with cream foundations and concealers and I did a lot of research and it came down to the Graftobian palette or Cinema Secrets. Finally, I just got both because they are both around $20. I am fairly pale but I never realize HOW pale I am until I get a new foundation. I wear NC15 in Mac, the lightest color, and even that is a hair too dark for me. I was told to get the warm palette #1 and I was really hesitant on that because I always stuck with cool, but the colors match nicely. It took like a week for the foundation palette to get here from Camera Ready Cosmetics and I was so excited to try them! All the reviews I read said the foundation applied best with a beautyblender so that is what I used.
The foundation looks nice initially. It doesn't cover my pores or slight acne scars well at all, which is what I really really wanted it for but oh well, I thought, at least it looks natural. Just a little oily. So I used my Laura Mercier setting powder over the top and problem solved, right? Wrong.. Just touching my face left little finger prints. It doesn't set. So I was just sure not to touch my face. I went to class for three hours and when i came home and looked in the mirror, i was absolutely shocked. My face looked horrible. The foundation had separated everywhere and I looked so greasy in places I don't usually get oily. I don't understand what all the hype is about this foundation. I guess if it would just stay in place and not transfer onto everything, it would be pretty decent. But since it doesn't, I would not buy again.
In comparison, the cinema secrets cream foundattion is better. Still not a miracle foundation, but it is definitely better and it feels so nice on my skin.

I was excited to try this because it was a top pick and had many great reviews. the Coverage is pretty good and I found a color match in Sunlit Linen. Basically this feels and behaves like petroleum base with pigment -compound which it basically is. What I don't like about it is that it doesn't have anything in it that sets this onto your skin, so even if you set it with powder, it will start to seperate on your skin after a few hours.

This stuff is AMAZING...I think I have found my HG foundation. I was so surprised when I tried it. I used a damp beauty blender to apply and my skin looked flawless and airbrushed. I used the warm palette #2 and mixed two shades to get the perfect match for my skin. The price is very reasonable. Definitely worth the try.

I came across a store that sells Graftobian HD Glamour creme foundation, at first I was hesitant to try it since the brand was new to me and during that time I was only looking for a Revlon whipped foundation in shade caramel which I will be using to one of my clients, of course I gave Graftobian a try since I was already in the store, I swatched it on the back of my hand and surprisingly I was amazed with how the product glides on my skin, it's very pigmented, a little amount of product is enough to cover the entire face, I checked it online and found out that it doesn't contain fragrance and spf which is good for photo shoot., A week after I bought the product and start using it with my clients using a beauty blender and they all love it.

I really wanted to love this :( I have dry skin slight discolouration on my cheeks and large pores near my nose but no spots or anything. I tried various methods of application but it only lasted an hour before completely disappearing from my face- its a build able coverage and transfers very easily you must set it with a powder, the colour selection is very good although I am an nc15 and I found the ultra lite pallet way way to light for me. I'm using it now for under my eyes and as a highlighter which works better for me than using it as a foundation.

I adore this. I have the warm palette, and the second to lightest mixed with a bit of third to lightest (in the 5 palette) is my exact shade. I scoop out a tiny bit, mix with my regular SPF Olay moisturizer, and apply straight to my face with fingers if I'm in a rush or for daily simple use. It gives me a flawless finish that lasts all day.
The ingredients made me worry when I first read them, but my sensitive skin has not broken out, even with repeated use. I am in love. Highly recommend - straight up blended with a sponge or foundation brush for maximum coverage (for special events) or mixed with moistizer (for daily use.)

Edit: I really wanted to play with this a bit because I'm finding that Bombshell is the best colour match to me that I've found. MAC's studio sculpt NC15 and Estée Lauder's Double Wear in Bone are the other closest ones I have found. The NC 15 is a smidge dark and pink (the studio sculpt is way less yellow than MAC's other foundations, which I cannot use at all in NC 15 without looking dark and jaundiced), and EL's Bone is a hair too dark and yellow. NW13 in Studio Finish liquid is an ok match until it oxidizes, and then it's a weird dark pinky-orange on me. So, I've found that if I really moisturize, then use a primer I've had better luck with the Graftobian HD cream. First thing in the morning it is flawless. But it still doesn't have great staying power, and it still breaks me out a bit (less though with all the layers I have underneath than before). But by noon I am essentially redoing my makeup with a powder based compact. I wish I was just a bit more oily as I think it's probably great for those who are not dry like me.

I bought the creme foundation palettes in warm shades #1, #2 and #3 to practice my contouring and highlighting. They were purchased from Camera Ready Cosmetics and quickly shipped to Canada. It was summer at the time so I was worried they would melt in transit, but they arrived in good condition -although they had a bit of "sweat" on the surface ("beads of moisture") but the website said this was normal. I wear KVD Lock-it foundation in "medium 54" and I "typically" use Ingenue or Vixen (from #1) for highlighting and Golden sunset or Deep Xanthe (from #2) for contouring. I would say Enchantress (from #1) is the closest to KVD Lock-it "medium 54". I will also stress, that the shades shown on the Camera Ready website are much darker than they actually are. Even though I don't use #3 I will keep it on hand in case I get much better at contouring and want a much more dramatic effect.
The texture of these foundations are amazingly smooth and rich in pigment. They blend perfectly on top of KVD foundation or primer alone (I use Becca Ever-matte) using a firm brush and blended with a sponge (I use that pink thing..what's it called? Beauty Blender?). The only thing I don't like about this foundation is that it's quite oily-feeling and heavy. I only wear this foundation for special occasions -when I know I will be photographed. By the way, this stuff photographs really well! Set it with a good powder (I use elf HD powder in "Corrective yellow") to reduce that oily feel.

This has been THE absolute BEST foundation (including powders) I have ever used. I don't have much that I have to cover up - however, it evens out my skin tone and helps with my tan when I swipe it around my neck, as well as face. I have NEVER had a foundation stay put ALL day long and not run or cake (powders) during the hot (100+) summers in CA! I use Smashbox powder to "set" it and I have a luminous glow. This is because I purchased the Graftobian white setting powder they say you need - and I don't like it. It's way too much between the 2 and it is loaded with talc which feeds bacteria on your face - causing zits - so skip the powder.

AWFFI Partners Increase Loan Repayment Rates
Update to the Global Board
(October 2008)
Executive Summary
Due to continued unfavorable farming conditions, microfinance partners of both African Woman Food Farmer Initiative (AWFFI) and Strategic Planning in Action (SPIA) programs have continued to face challenges repaying their loans on time. As a result, the priority for the first six months of 2008 was to reinforce repayment in all epicenters. With the collaboration of the epicenter and village loan committees, we were able to successfully increase repayment rates from 76 percent in June 2007 to 89.50 percent by June 2008.
Moreover, in all eight program countries, the AWFFI microfinance program has started the registration process to become a member of the national microfinance association. Because of the long registration process, we hope to finalize the membership in all eight countries by the beginning of 2009.
Details on Progress
By the end of the second quarter of 2007, the cumulative loan disbursement was US$713,558 to 13,720 women partners. By the closing of the second quarter of 2008, the cumulative loan disbursement increased to US$1,134,154 to a total of 16,917 women partners. Meanwhile, a cumulative total of 561 men have been able to access loans in the amount of US$48,461. The cumulative repayment rate for the AWFFI program in Benin stands at 92.10 percent, an increase of 2.58 percent from June 2007, when the repayment rate stood at 89.52 percent.
Based on its success thus far, the AWFFI program in Benin continues to face a challenge in meeting the growing demand for credit from both new and existing partners in epicenters. In particular, at Zakpota Epicenter where over 531 group loans have been disbursed to 9,397 women partners. Even though all the available funds have been disbursed, several partners have taken the initiative to form groups. They are currently waiting for their turn to receive credit.
During the second quarter of 2008, 73 SPIA partners received credit. To date, a total of 561 men have received loans in the amount of US$48,462. The current cumulative repayment rate is 82.68 percent and the average savings per person is around US$28.
Future Plans
In accordance with the new government regulation that requires all credit and savings institutions to register with the Ministry of Finance, the AWFFI program in Benin is currently in the process of finalizing the registration as a lending and deposit-taking institution.
Burkina Faso
Details on Progress
Between June 2007 and June 2008, the cumulative loans disbursed increased from US$440,840 to $637,827. During this time, the cumulative number of women who accessed loans increased from 7,693 to 10,293 partners. By the end of 2008, the cumulative repayment rate was 88.48 percent. The repayment rate in Burkina Faso saw a slight decline of 4.28 percent from the previous year when the repayment rate stood at 92.76 percent.
Meanwhile, by the end of the second quarter under the SPIA program, 376 men partners accessed loans compared to 231 partners from the previous year. The repayment rate for the SPIA program remains strong at 96.08 percent.
Future Plans
Currently, there are five government-recognized banks in Burkina Faso. The objective for the near future is to set-up a learning workshop for board members of all five epicenters. Given their extensive experiences in the administration and management of their rural banks, a workshop that would include all board members will allow them to learn from each others experiences and create a support network for one another to protect them from shortages of revolving capital and help them avoid any possible bankruptcy.
Details on Progress
By the end of the second quarter in 2007, a total of US$49,340 was disbursed to 908 women. By closing of the second quarter in 2008, the cumulative loans disbursed increased to US$109,114 to 2,075 women partners in four epicenters.
Meanwhile, the cumulative number of men accessing credit under the SPIA program increased from 423 in 2007 to 924 partners in 2008. Currently, the repayment rate in Ethiopia stands at 100 percent for AWFFI and 95.18 percent for SPIA respectively.
Future Plans
In order to access credit, as is the case with all our loan requirements, AWFFI partners are required to dig pit latrines and attend literacy classes. Although there has been strong reinforcement on the supervision of pit latrines, partners' literacy class attendance has not been very strong. As a result, in accordance with the global office, The Hunger Project-Ethiopia will be re-engaging with the communities to put in place adult literacy classes for partners.
Details on Progress
By June 2007, the cumulative amount of loans disbursed was US$169,354. By June 2008, this figure increased to $220,368. During this time, the total number of women accessing loans increased from 2,270 to 2,891.
Meanwhile, under the SPIA program, the cumulative number of men accessing credit also increased from 688 to 1,030. At the end of June 2008, the cumulative repayment rate had increased from 83.95 percent to 84.76 percent.
Future Plans
With the scale-up taking place in the Eastern Region of Ghana, the AWFFI team in Ghana has worked very hard to train new partners in new epicenters while continuing to meet growing demand by existing partners. To ensure strong loan performance, loan committees' members as well as partners will be undergoing continuous VCAWs to build their capacities. Also, a network of recognized rural banks will be established in order to protect these banks from fund shortages and enhance cross-learning experiences in order to avoid any possible bankruptcies once the epicenters become self-reliant.
Details on Progress
Between June 2007 and 2008, the cumulative loans disbursed to women increased from US$208,107 to $208,437. While meeting the growing needs of the existing borrowing women partners, 92 additional women were able to access new credit during the year.
On the other hand, the cumulative number of men partners accessing loans increased from 949 to 1,037. Between the period of June 2007 and 2008, the cumulative repayment rate in Malawi improved significantly, increasing from 77.71 percent to 84.38 percent for AWFFI and from 86.18 percent to 100 percent for SPIA.
Future Plans
With the continued effort to improve the repayment rate, The Hunger Project-Malawi AWFFI team will continue to do more field follow-ups in the coming months. In addition, trainings for the epicenter loan committees and board members of Nsondole government recognized rural bank will also take place in the next quarter.
Details on Progress
From the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008, the cumulative amount disbursed to women increased from US$291,641 to $354,954. During this period, the number of women accessing credit increased from 1,085 to 1,177 partners.
While continuing to meet the growing demand of existing men partners in the SPIA program, the cumulative number of partners accessing credit increased from 99 in June 2007 to 106 in this period in Manhica and Chokwe Epicenters.
Future Plans
In the coming months, there will be continuous effort to recover loans in both Manhica and Chokwe Epicenters. In addition, to revitalize the AWFFI credit program, VCAWs will be held for partners both at the epicenters and village levels.
Details on Progress
From June 2007 to June 2008, the cumulative amount of loans disbursed increased from US$217,900 to $313,619. During this period, the cumulative number of women partners also increased from 12,828 to 14,245 partners. Meanwhile, the cumulative repayment rate has also increased from 82.01 percent to 97.01 percent. Through diligent follow-ups and meetings, partners were able to repay their outstanding loans.
Future Plans
Currently, The Hunger Project-Senegal is awaiting information from the Ministry of Finance regarding its application for the recognition of the AWFFI program in the microfinance industry in the country. Meanwhile, workshops will be held for Board members of the three government-recognized rural banks. The objective of the workshop is to allow board members to share their experiences and lessons learned so that they are better equipped to manage their rural banks.
Details on Progress
Between the period of June 2007 to June 2008, the cumulative loans disbursement increased from US$158,897 to $166,786. During this period, the cumulative number of women partners accessing loans also increased from 1,082 to 1,688.
In regards to the SPIA program, during the period of June 2007 - June 2008, the cumulative number of men partners also increased from 205 to 378. Also, the cumulative repayment rate increased from 90.84 percent to 93.90 percent.
Future Plans
The microfinance industry in Uganda continues to grow. As a result, more and more funding opportunities are starting to arise for microfinance service providers in the country. One such example is the "Prosperity for All" government program that could provide funding for microfinance institutions, such as The Hunger Project-Uganda. The Hunger Project-Uganda AWFFI staff, in coordination with The Hunger Project government recognized rural bank board members will be doing further research on this possible opportunity. Based on the findings of the cost and opportunities of the program and in accordance with the Global office, The Hunger Project-Uganda will continue to research further partnership possibilities.
Furthermore, during 2009, The Hunger Project-Uganda will put in place a network of recognized rural banks in order to provide both technical and financial support to each other in case of funding shortages during the self-reliance period.

great bag
November 17, 2011
I purchased this bag over a year ago. The bag is very functional in its design with great organizational sections. With the split design I am able to divide my snow gear from my other clothes. I travel frequently and this bag has held up well.The weight of the bag is also a plus with all the regulations. The fabric and construction is very high quality. Like other reviews the zippers on this bag are heavy duty and function well. This bag is by far the best piece of luggage I have ever purchased.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value, Lasts forever, Performance
Great bag with lots of storage
May 26, 2010
I love that I am not in the maze of black bags anymore. This super cute bag stands out from the rest and has lots of little compartments to make packing easy.
High Quality Bag
June 15, 2011
I have only had this bag for a short period of time, but the quality of the fabric and the feel of the bag seem very good. The compartments are great for organizing and the roll is smoother than any other bag I have ever owned. Also, we have always had issues with zippers breaking or coming apart on previous luggage, and these seem to be larger and much heavier duty so I think they should last.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great value

AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The boot is off Ike Taylor's fractured ankle.
It's still too soon, however, for the Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback to slip his cleats back on.
Taylor will miss his third straight game on Sunday when the Steelers (7-7) try to revive their postseason hopes against Cincinnati (8-6) in a game that will likely define the season of both teams.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday he's encouraged by Taylor's progress but that Pittsburgh's secondary will have to find a way to defend Cincinnati's deep group of receivers without its best cornerback.
The Steelers won't have one of their fastest cornerbacks either after fill-in DeMarcus Van Dyke was placed on the injured reserve after injuring his shoulder in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss in Dallas. Pittsburgh signed veteran free agent Justin King to provide depth, but it will be largely up to Keenan Lewis, Curtis Brown, Cortez Allen and Josh Victorian to slow down Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton and second-year receiver A.J. Green.
Victorian, a practice squad player, was pressed into service against the Cowboys and endured a difficult afternoon. Then again, he was hardly alone as Dallas quarterback Tony Romo lit up the Steelers for 341 yards passing and two scores in a rare off day for the league's top pass defense.
Tomlin praised Victorian's effort but knows things are unlikely to get easier while facing one of the best young offenses in the NFL.
"We are going to have our hands full," Tomlin said.
The Steelers won the first meeting with the Bengals 24-17 on Oct. 21, holding Dalton to 14 of 28 passing for a season-low 105 yards. The victory kickstarted a four-game winning streak that appeared to put to rest any concerns about Pittsburgh's slow 2-3 start.
A shoulder injury to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and a handful of critical mistakes have pushed the Steelers to the fringe of the playoff race. Pittsburgh has dropped four of five -- including two straight since Roethlisberger's return -- but have a direct path to the postseason. Wins over the Bengals and Cleveland (5-9) and the Steelers will play into January.
Even if, at the moment, it hardly feels like it.
Pittsburgh appeared to stir the echoes of 2005 after winning in Baltimore on Dec. 2. The players talked openly about going on a playoff run the way they did seven years ago, when the Steelers squeaked into the playoffs then won three games on the road en route to the franchise's fifth Super Bowl title.
The last two weeks, however, look a lot more like 2009. The Steelers were 6-2 at the season's midway point then collapsed down the stretch, enduring a five-game skid to miss the playoffs entirely.
Things aren't quite that bleak at the moment, and Tomlin did his best to quell any sense of unrest by Roethlisberger, who took blame for the loss in Dallas but also acknowledged some frustration about the successful but infrequent no-huddle offense.
Roethlisberger loves the no-huddle and pointed to how well the Steelers moved the ball against the Cowboys as proof it works. Tomlin downplayed the idea Roethlisberger was taking a shot at offensive coordinator Todd Haley in his comments.
"He's on board with what we're doing," Tomlin said of his quarterback.
Maybe, but the Steelers have gotten away from the formula that worked so well for them earlier in the year.
The short passing game that thrived in September and October has disappeared in November and December. Roethlisberger, Charlie Batch and Byron Leftwich have completed just 55 percent (124 of 224) of passes during the team's last six games, down from nearly 70 percent (201 of 288) during the first half of the season.
The lack of any semblance of a running threat hasn't helped. Tomlin dropped the running back-by-committee approach three weeks ago, awarding the starting job to Jonathan Dwyer. The spark Dwyer provided earlier in the season hasn't materialized, though. Dwyer has just 101 yards over the three starts, but Tomlin doesn't appear to be in any hurry to change things up.
The Steelers reinstated running back Rashard Mendenhall from a one-game suspension on Monday for conduct detrimental to the team, but Tomlin said he's "happy" with the current situation and will let Mendenhall -- who hasn't suited up since a loss to Cleveland on Nov. 25 -- practice before determining whether he'll be involved.
Mendenhall isn't the only veteran who has spent most of the last month watching. The Steelers brought back wide receiver Plaxico Burress last month to give Roethlisberger a big target. Burress has just one catch in the two games he's been active.

The campus first became aware of the tragedy after an e-mail was sent to the student body Monday with messages from Lertsachanant's father, Chartchai Lertsachanant '72, Campus Pastor Bruce Benson and Dean of Students Greg Kneser.
An international student who had been living in the United States for almost three years, Lertsachanant was an economics major at St. Olaf. He was also considering a philosophy major and an Asian studies concentration.
Lertsachanant had been in Thailand dealing with matters concerning his military obligation, where he would have had to spend two years in the service after college.
Pat Nelson '06, Lertsachanant's roommate, said that he is still reeling from the shock of the news he received Monday.
"I'm not exactly sure how to react because it was so sudden," Nelson said. "It feels surreal at the same time."
Still, Nelson fondly recalled their favorite pastime: hanging out.
"Instead of doing what we probably should have been doing on the weekends (homework), we would be hanging out, talking, watching movies and just chilling," he said.
Lertsachanant, an avid badminton fan, shared his love of the game with Nelson. In addition, they enjoyed working out together, playing video games, watching Anime and going to the Korean markets in the cities.
"I knew how much he loved Thailand - he always wanted me to come visit," Nelson said.
Nelson also remembered how many fellow students enjoyed Lertsachanant's company.
"Even people who had just met him thought he was nice, polite and funny," Nelson said. "And he was a really good judge of character."
Lertsachanant originally decided to come to St. Olaf after spending his senior year of high school in California. His father was a St. Olaf alumnus as well.
Nelson said that he originally met Lertsachanant during their freshman year in Ellingson when they would play video games late into the night with their JCs.
"We got along great and had common interests," Nelson said. "I thought it would be fun [to room together]."
Next week, there will be a memorial service, which Benson is currently planning. The date is not yet final, but it will take place at 5 p.m. to honor the time at which Lertsachanant was cremated Wednesday.

LONDON, ONT – With speckles of stubble now dotting his 19-year-old face, Morgan Rielly has little interest in minimizing expectations for his second season as a prospect in the Maple Leafs organization.
"Pretty high ones," he said with some degree of certainty. "Obviously, my goal is to make the Leafs this year."
Rielly is one among 25 prospects in London, Ontario this weekend for the organization's annual rookie tournament, an early springboard into NHL training camp next week.
"He's obviously a very gifted defenceman," said Steve Spott, the newly named head coach of the Marlies and frontman for the assembled group in London, "but at the same time, it's a process and one thing I think the organization is cognizant of is making sure we develop the players the right way."
The Leafs have two simple and yet very distinct choices as it pertains to the immediate future of the fifth overall pick from the 2012 draft. The organization can opt to keep him with the NHL club in Toronto – with a nine-game tryout window – or send him back to Moose Jaw for another year of junior hockey with the Warriors (he is not eligible to play in the AHL).
Ultimately, Leafs general manager Dave Nonis, his management team and the coaching staff, led by Randy Carlyle, will have to determine which course of action is best for the long-term development of their number one prospect.
"Morgan's play is going to dictate where he ends up," said Spott. "You can't teach the ability and the skill that he has, but ultimately, his play will dictate where he ends up."
Carlyle will be among the Toronto brass in attendance for the four-team tournament, which also includes the Penguins, Blackhawks and Senators, the head coach getting a first look at Rielly's progress ahead of camp.
Regardless of his potential and performance this weekend and in the NHL exhibition schedule to follow, the Leafs have to be wary of any decision that includes keeping their promising defender. In doing so beyond the threshold of nine regular season games, they would initiate the clock on his entry-level contract, a friend in today's cap-conscious world, and in some ways jump-start his development curve. Thus, it's usually wise to opt for caution and patience, even if all signs point to readiness right away.
Case in point, what went wrong in Buffalo last season. Despite the hasty schedule that lay ahead post-lockout, the Sabres chose to stick with 18-year-old Mikhail Grigorenko beyond the requisite threshold of NHL action (five games in the 48-game schedule) only to determine after 25 games and spotty ice-time that he was not quite ready for the pros. They promptly delivered him back to junior with the Quebec Ramparts, burning a year of his entry-level deal with little to show for it.
Luke Schenn offers a more complex case locally. Like Rielly, Schenn was picked fifth overall in 2008 and had played three years of junior with the Kelowna Rockets. Then an 18-year-old, he arrived at training camp that fall with an obvious NHL frame and bravado that suggested he was ready to play right away. The brass, led at that time by Cliff Fletcher and his head coach Ron Wilson, opted to keep the rugged defender, who actually thrived with a solid rookie year. What followed though were three years of inconsistent development, capped by a trade to Philadelphia in the summer of 2012.
Conversely, the organization exercised the highest degrees of patience and caution with Nazem Kadri, rewarded when he broke out with 44 points in 48 games last season.
Rielly is the most prized and promising of the Toronto prospects, offering an elegant stride and unique penchant for making something out of nothing on the back-end, offensively. He'll compete for a spot on a busy Leafs defence, one that should include nine defenders with NHL experience (the unsigned Cody Franson likely to be among them).
At a brief training camp following the lockout last January, the Leafs chose prudence with Rielly and sent him back to junior for his third season in Moose Jaw, where he went on to post 12 goals and 54 points in 60 games before joining the Marlies for 22 games (eight in the playoffs) thereafter.
Having coached him twice prior – at the Under-18 tournament and World Juniors last December – Spott sees a bright future for the young defender.
"He's definitely matured as a young man and ultimately now, I think he realizes what's available for him," said Spott, who replaced Dallas Eakins in early July. "I think he takes it very seriously; I think this camp for him, this week for him, is going to be real important."
Despite the caution, the organization may eventually opt to employ with him and Rielly will do his part in the coming days to make that choice all the more difficult. The rookie tournament is just the start.
"He's intelligent, he's sharp, he'll be able to handle himself in this city," Spott concluded, "and I think ultimately is going to be a special defenceman for the organization for a long time."

Pack FM: Punchlines and BK Bounce
"It's time for Brooklyn to step it up again," declares outspoken MC PackFM direct from the noisy streets of his BK 'hood. "The grime that we had has been lost. Everybody's trying to be pretty now."
More concerned with making listeners' necks snap than being a fashion plate, Pack is ardently helping to resurrect the raw energy that Brooklyn-proud groups like Audio Two and M.O.P. brought to hip-hop. "I'm just trying to bring that bounce back," says Pack. "Everybody's following trends–I'm just trying to represent what's natural to me."

The Catena Chardonnay (from the Agrelo Vineyard) has a golden yellow color with pronounced green reflections. It boasts concentrated aromas of ripe tropical and citrus fruits with light notes of vanilla and toast. The mouthfeel is full, round and soft, with explosive fruit flavors of ripe pears and pineapples and a creamy texture. The wine has a lengthy finish with crisp acidity and touches of smoky toast.
At 940 m (3,100') elevation, the Agrelo Vineyard enjoys warm sunny days that allow for full and even ripening, and cool nights that allow for an excellent balance between acidity and sugar. All year round the vineyard is managed with the latest pruning and trellising techniques. Vertical trellising, pre-harvest cluster removal, vine to vine canopy management and controlled irrigation are used at the Agrelo Vineyard to grow Chardonnay fruit with opulent flavors.
"Full yellow-gold. Rather exotic aromas of apricot, orange, honey and smoky oak. Then sweet but firm, with very intense flavors of apricot, peach, kiwi and minerals (Catena described these flavors as "acidic tropical fruits"). Catena's chardonnays are consistently among the elite of Argentina, as few other producers manage to capture this much freshness of fruit."-IWC
Bodega Catena Zapata is one of Argentina's high altitude Malbec pioneers. The Catena family began making wine in Mendoza in 1902.

In 1994, he became the first Argentine to exprot a world-class bottling of Malbec under the...Read More About Catena

Confusion over Congo rebels withdrawal from key city
AJE & Reuters: M23 rebels controlling the eastern city of Goma in the DR Congo have said they are not about to withdraw as demanded by regional leaders.
The rebels said on Tuesday they were still in charge of Goma, just hours after General Aronda Nyakairima, the head of the Ugandan military, was quoted by the Reuters news agency as saying that their leader, Sultani Makenga, had told him he would pull out of Goma and Sake.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) sought to assuage conservatives worried that the National Defense Authorization Act would lift the ban against bestiality in the military, telling a group at the Tulsa Metro Chamber of Commerce Monday that the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell allowed gays to "go in the military, go wide open, and use that for their agenda" but that bestiality had not been legalized. "When you go out and talk to people on the street, they'll tell you, 'Oh, they've legalized bestiality,' … but that hasn't changed," he said. Last night, the House and Senate have reached a compromise on the that eliminated several anti-gay provisions but also removed a Senate amendment dropping anti-sodomy provisions from the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Color Combo: Chartreuse and Turquoise
Blues and greens, which so often appear together in nature, can be used together to great effect in interiors as well. Lately we've been excited about the coupling of turquoise and chartreuse, two bold, acidic shades that somehow make a brilliant pair.
Of course there are many subtle shades to play with in the spectrum of turquoise and chartreuse... from sky blue to teal, and from yellow-green to lime. You can tinker around with these to find the most complementary pair. If you want to go all out, choose the boldest shade of each; or, in order to temper the brightness, try pairing a paler shade of one color with a brighter or more saturated hue.
If you're ready to go big, consider a reupholstery project using a fabric in turquoise or chartreuse. These non-traditional colors are an especially fun contrast for a formal piece or an antique (see second photo).
If, on the other hand, you want to try the color combo without making a big investment, throw pillows and fresh flowers are a great way to get a sense for how you feel about bringing a bold color into your home. We love the green mums in the fourth photo against the bright blue velvet pillow.
Do you like this particular blue/green combo in your home? How do you make it work?

I love the front porch with the christmas lights, looks like a fun place to hang out. I also love the chartreuse painted bedroom, strangely inviting.
It's a fun color combination, but it's very very trendy. I remember when Memphis design (red and turquoise) looked just as fresh, and it sure didn't last long.
Inexpensive accessories are probably the better way to go.
I love this combination. It sings of freshness to me (and has for years and years). In my apartment, I tend to get it in glass/ceramics, although I am strongly considering painting an accent wall yellowy green in the room with my turquoise pillows and glass lamp.
These were my wedding colors! So, naturally, I applaud this entry. :)
I love the freshness, and think that if it's done in a subtle enough way, it can be an enduring color scheme for home decor. This just gave me lots of ideas for our guest bedroom.
I'm immersed in this combo at the moment, too. My current nursery project uses these colors. Here's the nursery so far - it's a work in progress - but the accent color is going to be in the chartreuse range.
This is my absolute favorite color combo! I like to wear these colors. But in my home it has taken root in my kitchen, notably the sunny yellow dishes and turquoise glasses. And a variety of bowls, dishes, etc. in shades of yellow/blue/green. For me, not a trend.
My laundry room has this colour scheme, so I approve of this combination :-)
Pretty much my color palette in my living room, now if only I had that sofa in the last picture.
Here you can shop by these colors-
We have a small collection of vintage Franciscan Starburst dishes, which use this combination, and inspired our kitchen decor. I think chartreuse and teal can be both classic and modern.
Hey, thanks for featuring a photo from Room Lust!
I love Frank Roop's interiors, particularly his artful combination of green and blue. Feel free to check out my blog and my Flickr photostream for many more pictures of his work.

More Great Finds and New Items in My Etsy Store
I found some GREAT items at DI again. Whoever decided to donated them, thank you so much! You made me very happy!
The first finds are Cath kidston look-a-like mugs! Aren't they so cute? I always wanted to order some mugs from her catalog, but it is so expensive that I only admire them on catalog...
Those mugs I found were 50 cents each!! They will be perfect for the fall and winter when I take a break from sewing at night and drink some herb tea.
The next great finds are, Fire King casserole dishes! I have been a fan and collector of Fire King dishes for a while (I will share my collection someday). These dishes are brand new and have never been used! The original stickers were still attached. The color is orangeish with copper tint. It is so pretty and I am so thrilled to cook up some fall dishes in these.
The oil cloth fabrics I shared last week... I turn them into bibs! I whipped up eight of them and am going to post them on my etsy store soon. I am very happy with the results.
I have a new tutorial coming up. I am planning to post it sometime this week, hope to see you there!

Okay! What DI are you going too???? i never find anything there. But you an V always find cool stuff. Maybe it has to do with me being impatient. :)
PS I think you should come to the next project night and bring sushi. Or invite me over and teach me how to make it. Or tell me what I need and I'll buy it and you and your crew can come to my house. And you can teach me to make it. :) Hope to see you soon! -Jessica

Looking forward to your tutorial. I have my new machine finally, and would love to know where to find oil cloth like you have found. Nothing like that even near me. The mugs are beautiful, I see why you like them. Great bibs! Jackie

Hi, Ladies! Thank you so much for your comments. They always make me happy! Here are the answers to some of the questions I've received so far...
Cheryl-- DI is short for "Deseret Industries" it is a chain of LDS church operated thrift stores that provide jobs etc. I love second hand stores!
Empty Nest Full Life-- I go to various quilt stores in the area, most of them carry a few selctions of oil cloth.
I found the ones on this post at "Corn Wagon Quilt Company". I am not sure if they have a web site, but here is their phone number: 801-491-3551
Also, you can probably find oil cloths online there are many people who sell fabrics on their etsy stores.
Good luck! :)
girlsmama--- You are so funny! Most of the times I go to the one in Provo. I heard people say, they don't find anything at the Provo one. I think it is just a matter of timing.
About the sushi, we will talk later ;)

Installing grid-scale solar power arrays has gotten a bit easier with a new program recently rolled out by the US Department of the Interior to allow simpler, more streamlined process for projects on federal land in six western states.
Locations have been identified for an initial set of 17 Solar Energy Zones (SEZs), totaling about 285,000 acres of public lands, that will serve as priority areas for commercial-scale solar development. These are sites that are suited for solar power development and ordering cialis from canada that have access to existing or planned power transmission lines, allowing for ready integration with the grid.
The sites have been identified by the Department of Energy as having excellent solar access, as well as having "relatively low conflict with biological, cultural and historic resources." This allows a faster approval process for developing these areas with less red tape to lowest price for viagra be dealt with.

They are adorable, cuddly as well as completely vulnerable. Polar bears capture the admiration and recognition of people the globe over for their fluffy bright furs as well as huggable size. They gather respect from pet lovers for their hunting talent and survival strategies in one of the harshest atmospheres on Planet. However in spite of their mind-boggling popularity these giants are actually in danger of being wiped off Earth completely.
The Bear Essential
Polar bears are actually a huge animals that make their homes on the frozen Arctic sea. The bears will certainly shell out the majority of their lives on the ice. Males are able to grow up to ten feet in duration and weigh in at over 600 kg! The bears are actually carnivores, indicating they include largely on a diet made up of the meat of additional Arctic animals. At current there are predicted to be merely 20 to 50 thousands Arctic polar bears left in the wild. They are actually on the Endangered Animal List.
Why They're At Prospect
The greatest prospect to the survival of the polar bear varieties is the noted warming of the Arctic ocean which is actually leading to the melting of the ice these bears call residence. Although the bears use the ice for breeding and relaxing as well, it's principal element is to provide a cover for the bears as they hunt seals. Without adequate ice, the bears can not extend far sufficient from land to hunt enough food to endure. The bears are becoming malnourished as well as countless are perishing of starvation. This dynamic is actually effecting female bears with cubs in a great quantity generating reduced survival prices of the newer generations. Increased threats to polar bears include escalated run ins with individuals due to the forced time spent on land, and spills, development as well as shipping processes relating to oil in the Arctic.
Who Is Helping, as well as Exactly how
Principal contributors to the fight to save the Arctic Polar Bear consist of the Coca-Cola Provider and the World Fauna Fund. Together these businesses are raising hard earned cash to groundwork what is actually generating global temperature change as well as working with governmental companies to manipulate greenhouse gas exhausts. More significant jobs feature efforts to prevent unfavorable mortal connections providing poaching and remarkable tourism and defending pivotal environment spots such as birthing dens.
One may get involved in the search to save the Arctic Polar Bears by working directly by having the Globe Wildlife Fund. Begin your rewarding quest today by seeing Polar Bears at World Wild Life.

Minecraft Entering Beta Later This Month With Price BumpDig 'em up and indie darling Minecraft will finally exit the alpha stage of development and enter beta on December 20, creator Markus 'Notch' Persson has announced on his blog.
With the dawning of beta, the price will be raised from €9.95 (around $13.20) to €14.95 ($19.85). Furthermore, while the alpha version of Minecraft promised purchasers all future updates for free, the beta version will not.
"Please note that this change only affects people who buy the game after December 20, so if you got the game for during alpha, you will still get all future updates for free, despite this change," Notch stresses. "A promise is a promise."
As to what entering beta means for players, here's what Notch has to say:
With Beta comes a larger focus on polish and content, and we'll start early on with adding proper modding support with a stable API, and we'd love all input we can get on this from the modders out there. We'll also add some kind of non-intrusive narrative to the game to help drive the game experience early on, and to provide some kind of late game goal. There will be a bigger focus on testing and stability as well, with more time between updates."
If that sounds tempting and you want in on this whole 'Minecraft' thing everyone's talking about, you should buy before December 20 to be promised free updates.

To ensure safety and stability of the boats competing in the Volvo Ocean Race, each is put through a series of tests and measurements to comply with the Volvo Open 70 Rule. The boats are evaluated both on and off the water in order to produce boats that are seaworthy and suitable for long distance racing, along with being fast and easily driven.
Among those measurements is the pull down test. With a halyard attached to a point on the shore, the boat is wound down to a heel of approximately 50 degrees while the keel is canted fully to the same side. The automatic keel centering mechanism is then activated to make sure the system works and the boat returns upright.
The pull down test simulates the worst case scenario should the keel system fail, and it makes sure that the keel system and structure are sound. Part of the Volvo Open 70 Rule 3, the test was instituted after the Volvo Ocean Race 2005-2006 when multiple boats in the fleet experienced keel problems.
A member of the Volvo Open 70 Measurement Group visited the PUMA Ocean Racing training base in Lanzarote, Spain, last week to put PUMA's Mar Mostro through the pull down test. It's ready to race.
