Adding Ease to a Sleeve
I'm in the middle of making up a toile for my Twin Peaks inspired dress as a part of the 2-in-1 Sewalong. I'd had in my head all along that I wanted the sleeves on mine to be a bit puffier than those included in the pattern. I searched high and low all over the internet, but I couldn't find any information on adding ease to the sleeve of a commercial pattern. So I asked my sewing teacher, Cathy, for a quick how-to last week, and today I thought I'd share the process, just in case there is anyone else out there looking, but not finding.
A few things before we start:
This was my first time adding ease to a sleeve, so forgive me if the details aren't perfect :p
I'm adding 5cm of ease to this sleeve, but you can obviously add as little or as much as you'd like
The pattern piece I'm using is the cap sleeve from Simplicity 1880
I recently found this really awesome tracing/ tissue paper at Clegs (also available here), and it is brilliant, especially for things like this
O.K, let's get this show on the road!
1. Start by tracing off the sleeve, including all of the printed markings like notches, grainline etc.
2. Draw a line, at right angles, from top to bottom, through the sleeve. I made my first and last lines on the inside of the notches. Then I divided this into two by drawing a line through the centre, and then I divided each of the sections evenly in two. I found it helpful to extend the lines well beyond the sleeve (this will become clear once we start pivoting).
3. Because I'm adding an overall amount of 5cm to the sleeve, I will pivot each section by 1cm. I've made a mark 1cm from the right side of each dissecting line. Look closely and you can make them out.
4. Cut a square of tracing paper roughly twice the size of the original sleeve piece. When you start tracing, position your paper in the bottom left hand corner.
5. Trace off the first section of the sleeve, remembering to add all markings, including that mark 1cm to the right of the line.
6. Using the tip of your pen or pencil, pivot the top paper to the left, until the 1cm mark is on top of the first line. (You can see that the mark is now above the original line of the sleeve which is why it's a good idea to make those dissecting lines a bit longer)
7. Trace off the second section, and pivot 1cm to the left. Continue in this manner till you have traced and pivoted each section. Don't forget to add all the markings. You can see that I've kept the 2 outer small circles in their original position but have made sure that the centre circle is in the middle of the 3rd and 4th pieces.
8. Once you have traced off all the pieces, you will need to smooth out the outer curves of your new pattern piece
9. Now you can trace off your new pattern piece! Done!
So far the only images I have of the finished product are from the toile of my shirt dress, but you can still see what a difference it makes to the overall look of the sleeve.
Any questions/ comments/ alternate methods?

This immoral possession of society's collective production of value is the root of why the 99% are in the streets protesting. In order to put pressure on the ruling class we will need to be able to directly challenge their monopoly on the value creating and distribution process.
Where is this done? Simply, it's done in the workplaces. Value is created when those of us in the working class come together and perform work. This process starts with the extraction of raw materials by workers, moves to a production or processing facility where workers create a commodity, then workers transport these commodities to the market and finally, workers stock the shelves and sell the final product.
During this entire process, from extraction to the store, value is created by the working class and distributed by the ruling class. A very small part of this value is distributed in wages and benefits to the workers who performed the labor for this entire value creating process. A larger, but not the largest part of this value, is distributed into the buying of more machinery, replacement parts, and other operating costs. But the largest part of this value is distributed into the bank accounts of the rich. This value creating process has been going on for generations and the rich keep accumulating more and more value while those of us who actually work for a living only receive a small amount of that value.
Today, more than two million public sector workers across the United Kingdom are on the picket lines, protesting planned cuts to their pensions and austerity measures. The strike includes transport workers, teachers, health workers and other government employees. Protests and occupations are taking place in cities across the country, which have closed the majority of schools and impacted health and transport services. This is being hailed as the largest strike for many sectors in more than thirty years.
We express solidarity with the workers of the United Kingdom. Anywhere the interests of the few are crushing the hard-work of the many, our struggle is the same, and we stand united calling for justice.
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
Thousands of workers and students have taken to Oakland's downtown streets today as part of a daylong general strike called by Occupy Oakland organizers to protest economic inequity and corporate greed.
The crowd, which has forced the closure of some downtown streets, has been peaceful and almost celebratory - a band played and walked with the group and a "flash mob" broke out in dance at one point. Traffic, including AC Transit buses, is being diverted from the area around Frank Ogawa Plaza.
Protesters plastered signs and blocked customers from using ATMs at downtown banks. Many downtown businesses closed for the day.
By noon, the crowd had swelled to 3,500 for a lunchtime rally at 14th and Broadway. Police reported no damage and no arrests but were girding for the possibility of unrest later in the day.
Here's more of the day's developments:
- The Port of Oakland was severely delayed after many longshoremen walked off the job in support of the General Strike.
- More than 360 Oakland Unified School District teachers did not show up for work today, along with 5% of city workers.
- Banks were closed across the city, as Oakland officials recommended that the ones who were still open 'only let customers in one at a time.'
- Large marches were held around several bank branches including Bank of America, Chase, Citibank and Wells Fargo.
- Many (if not most) businesses downtown were closed.
- There were a few reports of broken windows at the Lakeside Drive branch of Bank of America, and at a Chase branch. Others reported "anarchists" attempting to cause damage to a Whole Foods, but dozens of marchers surrounded them and forced them to stand down. The Whole Foods was targeted over rumours that their employees were not allowed to participate in today's work stoppage.
We will have more as things continue into the evening.

Recipe: Heirloom Tomato Salad with Pomegranate-Sumac Dressing
Recipes from The Kitchn
You'd think I didn't like fresh tomatoes, the way I avoid them most of the year. Yet it's precisely because I love tomatoes — ripe, juicy, just-plucked and not shipped-around-the-world ones — that I wait until summer. At last the season has arrived, filling my dinner plate with colorful rounds of heirloom tomatoes. Here's one way I like to serve them: a simple salad with a sweet, tangy pomegranate and sumac dressing and a handful of fresh herbs.
You don't have to use heirloom varieties in this salad, and in fact, the dressing can enhance a somewhat bland hothouse tomato. But do yourself a favor and seek out fruit that smells earthy and sweet and tomato-y, whether it's from your garden, a farmers market, or the grocery store. A mix of colors is always nice, too. (And remember, when it comes to heirloom tomatoes, scars are a-okay!)
To play up the tangy sweetness of the tomatoes, the salad includes a Middle Eastern fattoush-inspired dressing with olive oil, lemony ground sumac, and rich pomegranate molasses. (Store-bought pomegranate molasses is fine but sometimes contains sugar; I use my sugar-free DIY version instead and add a drop of honey to the dressing.) Top the tomatoes with a scattering of basil, mint, and parsley, and you have a fresh, simple side dish for any summer meal.
Heirloom Tomato Salad with Pomegranate-Sumac Dressing
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons sumac
Freshly ground black pepper
Fleur de sel or other flaky finishing salt
2 pounds tomatoes
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon each of fresh basil, mint, and parsley leaves
Whisk together the olive oil, pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, sumac, and pepper, and salt to taste.
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slabs. Arrange the tomatoes and shallots on a platter and drizzle with dressing. Depending on the size of the herbs, you can leave them whole or tear the leaves into smaller pieces. Scatter them on top of the tomatoes. Finish with salt.
Best eaten soon after assembling.

I LOVE tomatoes, pomegranate AND sumac...just never thought of putting them together! Thanks for posting...I'm definitely going to try this ;-)
Where do you get pomegranate molasses? I have been looking for pom syrup of any kind (I'm in Toronto), to replace the one I just finished from Turkey - any help would be appreciated :)
@Brown Girl Cooks - I've seen Pom around. Try Fiesta Farms, they'd be my first guess.
I do all I can to avoid grocery store tomatoes year round. they just lack any flavor. My wife was not a big fan of tomatoes until I grew our own and made her taste one. She said "These don't taste anything like the grocery store kind!". I found some amazing heirlooms at the farmers market last week and made this Heirloom Tomato Salad with Burrata
I like this recipe especially because I usually have all the ingredients on hand. I usually sprinkle sumac on my hummus. It makes the dish very pretty and adds another level of flavor. We live in a small town with presently no way to get very many gourmet foods like pomegranate molasses. I might try pineapple juice or some kind of berry or cherry preserve. I do appreciate this recipe.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I was debating on posting my comment and almost decided against it because I wasn't sure how it sounded. Since you bring it up, though:
If your only goal is to avoid drama or offensive /g-chat, then "respect eachother" would seem to be a better rule than simply "be female."
Once you start disallowing respectful males whom you enjoy playing with (such as guildies' husbands and siblings), the all female thing ceases to be a rational protection against bad behavior and becomes nothing more than a gimmick.
This is not to say that gimmick guilds are wrong, of course...if someone wants to make a guild that only allows dwarf rogues or people who listen to Imogen Heap, I think that's awesome. This male and female only brother/sister thing is awesome, too, for those that enjoy it.
I just think it should be seen for what it is...a neat little gimmick. Say that you made an all female guild because you think it's cool...not because males automatically ruin guilds or something.
Hopefully what I'm saying made sense. I'm not trying to down the guild or anything. Eh...I'm just gonna go sit in the corner...

This is my college friend, Dunc.
He's something of an academic monk.
His musings are numerous
And often quite humorous
In this picture, no one is drunk.
If it was possible to cancel, he did.
If a pretty girl walked by, he hid.
There's not so much resistance
When the world is at a distance.
Deeper into his computer he slid.
A tuna fish married a horse
They served seaweed and rolled oats of course
'til that drunken bride filly
Drained the pond ("To be silly!")
Ending in a slippery and messy divorce.
I'm knocking on Hollywood's backdoor
Hanging 'round craft like a goddamned snack whore
Filling hours of void
With sneak peeks at my Droid
'Tis the life of an expiring actor.
(Here he is about to sing Anatevka.)
When Stallone was younger and lid'ler
He starred in a production of Fiddler
He couldn't really sing
But there was a wind 'neath his wing
In a sassy young jew named Bette Midler
When it feels like your life's in the can
"What, I'm aging?! Gee thanks, Peter Pan."
Stop asking "God, why?"
Puff your chest up real high
And cry, "I'm a little sunshine man!"
Farther westward the caravan goes
Carrying Jim, Ma, Pa, and Sharon's Rose
Simple folk seek no fame
Just fortune's fair claim
And wine grapes to squeeze through their toes
It isn't the "can'ts" and the "maybes"
It's the "sures!" that seem to get rabies
Yes, cancel if you must
But now my whole night's a bust
Why is pouting only OK for babies?
"Boys, could you be any sweeter?!
But my checkbook does totter and teeter
I know you planned on me buyin' -
Oh, darlins please don't start cryin'!"
"But now we don't have no money eeder!"
I admit - I don't know about sports
Spare me your incredulous snorts
I don't care, I don't care
I can't make myself care
Now excuse me while I eat chocolate tortes
Meow-scuse me? Don't pick me up! Ouch!
I'm freaked out, you crazy old grouch.
'cause there's a moth on the floor
And a dog fight next door
Now, if you need me, I'll be inside the couch.
The lemons are ripe for the pickens
The elderly are surgical spring chickens
But I sure do miss
The smells of bagels and piss
And friends, funnier than the dickens
An old man lay dying in Slovenia
He was rich, but bug-eyed and mean, yah.
"I vill leave to you son
ze house, pool, ze gun
And zis bout of hereditary scitzophrenia!"
Some mornings I wake in a panic:
Happy then sad—guess I'm manic.
But I'll settle my mood
After good breakfast food
With eggs that are vaguely Hispanic.
That Michael Kayne is really a stitch!
And he could sing his way out of a ditch
He founded Harry and Conrad,
A most foul-mouthed new dad
How I miss that son of a bitch.

Alarming study
Global austerity costs 2.3 trillion U.S. dollars annually due to unused production opportunities
As a consequence of austerity policies in many countries, millions are deprived of work and vast production opportunities remain unused. Our short study "Costs of Austerity - Squandering our Productive Resources" states the value of lost production at 2.3 trillion U.S. dollars annually. This corresponds to the gross domestic product of the United Kingdom. The Eurozone alone loses at least 580 billion Euros annually as a result of public austerity. WFC founder Jakob von Uexkull: "Given the huge challenges we face including stopping climate change and overcoming poverty, it is shocking that such a large economic potential remains untapped because of misguided policies."

West Brom sweat on Liam Ridgewell ahead of Aston Villa showdown
West Bromwich Albion were today facing a derby-day defensive crisis after an injury to Liam Ridgewell completed a miserable Capital One Cup defeat by Liverpool.
Boss Steve Clarke is sweating on the fitness of three full-backs ahead of his fourth-placed side's trip to Villa after Ridgewell limped out of last night's 2-1 Hawthorns defeat with a sore calf.
The former Villa man is now a doubt for Sunday's visit to his former club with Steven Reid (hamstring) and Goran Popov (groin) still battling for fitness, leaving Billy Jones as the only senior full-back certain to be available.
Clarke said: "I've not had an in-depth analysis of Liam's injury. He felt something on his calf and he went off.
"The full-back areas are a concern for the weekend. We'll assess what we've got today and if I can get one or two from the treatment room onto the training pitch I'll do that. If not, we'll just deal with it.
"It would be a blow to lose Liam because he's played every game for us and he's one of the steady players in the team.
"It would be disappointing for Liam to miss the Villa game – and it would certainly be disappointing for us as well."
The Baggies bowed out of the Capital One Cup at the third-round stage as on-loan Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin scored twice for Liverpool after Gabriel Tamas had fired the hosts ahead on three minutes.
Goalkeeper Ben Foster's error handed Sahin his first goal as the Albion No.1 conceded at The Hawthorns for the first time in seven appearances – a run stretching back to March.
Clarke said: "It's unusual for Ben. It's not even worth having an in-depth discussion about it. It doesn't happen very often and we move on.
"We said we'd 'have a go' and we certainly started that way but I think their goal sort of knocked the stuffing out of us a little bit.
"Maybe it was because it was such a soft goal to lose.
"After it became 1-1, they were better, passed it better, and we sat off them too much.
"The second half was much better, we got about them and pressed to make a game of it. The second half could have gone either way."

From left to right : Janine Lee + Aretha Sack
As a Beauty Buyer and general product whore, it's not often that something new comes across my radar that I haven't already seen, tried, or in most cases, own. Especially when it comes to nail polish – what can you show me that I haven't seen before? Enter Floss Gloss. Being the Instagram troll that I am, I stumbled across what looked like a new brand with sick packaging and even cooler girls behind it. Imagine my excitement when I found out we were mutually interested in working together! Without further ado, I present to you Janine Lee and Aretha Sack, founders of the flyest new brand that you need to know about, NOW. Learn more about Floss Gloss and the Boss Bitches who run it – including what they're listening to and the best nail length with which to roll a blunt.
How did the name come about? Were there other possibilities? Or did you agree on Floss Gloss immediately?
Aretha: We was flossin tho.
Janine: Floss Gloss was a Nail Krew first, let me just throw that out there. So the crew name was just destined to be the business name. Everyone (OG Krew) def agreed and giggled seriously immediately. No joke. As, I recall in 2009, we had just had an epic 'Nail Time' sesh with the girls at our college apt. "The Golden Pussy" and I was so stoked about my most recent mani (probs with Aretha's nuevo color) I exclaimed (while throwin my hands I'm sure) 'I'm flossin and glossin like a Boss, Bitch!' I think it just set in that if and when we were to ever start a company it's be called Floss Gloss for nails that truly made u feel like u Boss. Plus we were heavy listenin to Mike Jones and Paul Wall back then.
It seems like Aretha, the "color snob," is the mad scientist behind shade mixing. Janine, what was the first color you saw her come up with that made you know you guys were on to something?
A: Tiff Turq duh where have you been.
J: Definately Tiff Turq. There were a couple other 'Riimixxes' that are in my top 3 faves, but the Tiff Turq was like the ultimate OG color. It was perfect, it blew every other attempt at the most perfect shade of turquoise out of the water. We chose not to release it cuz it felt played, and the whole world was dressed in turquoise in 2011-2012, but we've been thinking about an archival launch. Just for funsies.
Do each of you have a favorite shade? Or is that like asking who your favorite kid is?
A: Kind of is, but I do play favorites!! I'd say Fastlane, Glowstar, and Tanlines are my babies from this collection. I'm all about Bikini Coral with BritBrit2000 on top and in general, Con Limon is probably my favorite nail color to wear. My favorite color is orange so all oranges I love. Also a sucker for brown. Slap some gold jewelry on some orange wit brown and I'm all over it!
J: Def kinda like our kids, for sure. But I totally play favorites (don't tell!) and Neon Nacho is my girl. I went through a period of time in 2010 when I only wore orange nails. I was waiting for the day when Neon Nacho was born, but I wore the shit out of the sample that Aretha mixed for our production. Tanlines, Dimepiece and Bikini Coral are my number 1 ladies. Glowstar is sneakin in too. Love Partybruise, my baby that I named, she is such a stone cold fox. Perfect for the baddest bitches in the game. Omg I'm so ready for Con Limon, so good on nails. Its so hard to pick, all of the colors in our debut collection go together so well, its tough to choose!

Stream of thought for both of you – first 5 words to come to mind when you think about your brand.
A: Miami, next level, flossers, lady drugs, gold
J: Color, Get on our level, Winning, Gold Medal, In it To Change The Game
What inspires you to make polish?
A: My discriminating taste in color and all the polishes that don't come in the colors I want, have booboo formulas, or sadly, have been discontinued by the big time nail gamers.
J: Def agree with Aretha. I'm inspired to give women what they've never known they've been missing. What they didn't know they could have! Opaque-fashion forward-colors (you actually want), quality packaging that doesn't scream I'm-the-same! and professional grade formula that performs when called upon. For every moment of frustration and annoyance that sprung from painting your nails with boring packaging, color and lame quality lacquers.
What can we expect to see in the future from FG, aside from Con Limon, which we are already foaming at the mouth over?
A: Obvi more epic colors and glitters that have yet to be seen in da nail paint, some innovative products including more makeup and def clubwear.
J: OMG thx! I'm so excited to drop Con Limon. We've got an epic list of colors we're waiting to launch on the public. Colors you've been dreaming of and glitters you need. But def for the product future- Nail Art products and deco, make-up and for sure some garments. I'm sweatin, Whoo!
Color: Party Bruise, Photo credit: Jeremiah McNair
Janine, you mentioned to me hoping to never have to discontinue a color. I love that philosophy. Can you expand on that idea for non-beauty industry folk?
A: I will always need Fastlane available for my use. When Sally Hansen discontinued their "Magical" holographic line back in the 90's I wanted to die.
J: Totes. Well sometimes you fall in love with one product, one color, and time goes by and you're not just brand loyal, you're product loyal, and all of a sudden the company discontinues that color, that shade, that product! and you're like WTF !? We have a gf who only paints her nails one color. It's just her signature. We vowed when we started the company that we'd try our hardest to keep all of our colors, past and present, available for each FG Boss.
Obviously the packaging is a huge standout – what was your main goal with developing your signature look?
A: Had to pull out all the stops and make the beauty product really beautiful. We went with a classic overgold 1970's Miami look cuz that's where we stay mentally and why put out a new product that looks like everything else? "If you don't wanna burn, just walk on by."
J: The main goal was to definitely keep our packaging different. Something that evoked classic, grassroots, cosmetic packaging but was also updated, classy and luxurious – the ultimate luxe nail polish packaging. We had options, trust. But why put out a standard, boring, black cap and chunky bottle?
What does the Floss Gloss girl look like, where would you find her? (Not just physical appearance…in general.)
A: She flossed up, she glossed up, and she still rollin on choppaz. You can prolly find her at select gas stations trolling for sick nail decals.
J: She's the Mary! She exudes confidence first off cuz it always wins no matter what. She's probably chillin, sippin a quad, organic non-fat latte doin her nails – anywhere and everyday cuz she just posted her current mani on the internet last night and now its played out! Or you might catch her at the gym, doin squats in some Nikes workin on that booty for her trip to the Caribbean. She's about that life, and loves to be the life of the party.

The rest def Cellski, Gucci Mane, The Dream, Ja Rule, M.I.A., Led Zeppelin, The Knife, Old School Girl Slaps ya kno Destiny's Child, SWV, TLC, Brandy.
You guys mentioned being Karmaloop customers for a little while now. Do you remember your first purchase? (Mine was an asymmetrical Puma track jacket with a cowl neck…in 2007.)
A: Yee totes ordered some tiger print and pleather leggings from there that are tight and tight, way back.
J: Yes, I've def been a KL customer for a min, but probs not for myself at first. Pretty sure my first purchases were for my bros and my man, they all KL type guys. They get down with the Kazbah brands. I do the clothing hook-up most xmas/chanukkah. For me, I think the first purchase might have been some Obey shit.
What do you guys prefer personally when it comes to nail length and shape?
A: I only fucks wit round but I like square on Ja2. I try for a classy, rounded almond/oval point circa 1984, not too long but ideally bout ¼" or more past finger. This is really hard for me since I'm constantly krumping, waiting tables, and rolling blunts.
J: For me, I'm naturally square. Def into longer nails, I'd have to agree with Aretha. Ideally ½" longer than the tip of my finger, but working in the service industry and being a total klutz sometimes makes my nail length way more practical.
Photo credit: Jeremiah McNair
Do you think it's easier to roll a blunt with long nails or short nails?
A: "Real smokers don't roll no fuckin blunts wit no acrylics, ya feel me?" -Master P.
But either way I've definitely smoked nail polish.
J: Welll, depends. Good question. There are pros and cons – like cracking and rolling, sometimes longer has an advantage. But def shorter good for the no-grinder roll, no sticky under your nails, etc. I think long nails for lookers who ain't really caring about how the blunt hits, they just in it for the photos.
And finally, what would your dream scenario be for FG in the next few years?
A: Janina and I quitting food service, changing the nail game and moving to Miami.
J: Dream scenario: Floss Gloss blows up and I can quit service industry and just be the primary host for all of the FG parties and focus full time on our brand. Opening up brick and mortars, parlors and boutiques in our favorite cities and continuing to live and love what we're doing. (And like, totes owning an island resort)

Justin Timberlake Beatboxes For Brother Ali On Stage
Ali, unaware of who the guest was at first, took the microphone away from Timberlake and led him back to the crowd.
"Last night in Jackson Hole WY was fun. This dude jumped on stage and started beatboxing. Me being me, I snatched the mic from him and he got off stage. At the end of the song, [DJ BK-One] tells me that was Justin Timberlake," Ali told fans through his Twitter page.
This surprised Ali enough to get Timberlake back on the stage for an impromptu freestyle session with the former Nsync singer doing the beatboxing.
"I ran and grabbed him and he beatboxed while I freestyled for about 15 minutes. Sorry JT. Thanks for rockin with us."
A better quality of the video footage may be made available through Rhymesayers Entertainment, but below is the footage that was taken by a fan at the show.

Aomei Partition Assistant.
Very impressed by this program - small and fast, and runs great in winpe.
It just recovered my Linux partitions, when Partition Wizard, Paragon and Easeus partition master couldn't find them.
Free partition manager download for managing your PCs and Servers.
|My System Specs
|03 Apr 2013
A very good program indeed that I have on my PC for a long time.
Perhaps worth recommending for partition recovery too in place of MT Partition Wizard, based on your experience.
I faintly remember having read somewhere that the original team or part of the original team of PowerQuest Partition Magic is involved in the development of AOMEI software.
The best part is one can create a bootable WinPE CD quite easily within minutes.
EDIT: I just now created the WinPE ISO and bootable pendrive with it using Rufus.
A snapshot:
Oh! Disk 2 is the bootable pendrive. Rufus gives it the volume label CDROM by default.
Running MiniTools Partition Wizard from a pendrive is a little bit tricky but possible, if one remembers to type linux0 against the command prompt to boot it. Yep, MT Partition Wizard bootable is Linux.
|My System Specs
|03 Apr 2013
I pop it in my own hand made pe media.
It will make one for you - but like most programs - it requires the WAIK download to do that.
Aomei also have a good free imaging program . Interestingly, the imaging program makes pe media without WAIK download.
I believe Aomei will be incorporating that non WAIK pe building in to Partition Assistant in future.
|My System Specs
|03 Apr 2013
Nope, it does not need WAIK. That is why I said it can make the WinPE in minutes ( without downloading the large WAIK which may take hours, depending upon one's internet speed.)
Anyway, I would like you to confirm this - just in case I am wrong. ( I do have WAIK on my PC but it did not ask for its path and the ISO created in just under 2 minutes.)
Given that the imaging program does not require WAIK download, even this Partition Assistant may not. ( I have version 5.1)
|My System Specs
|03 Apr 2013
Part Assist does require WAIK - you already have it - so it didn't ask.
I have spoken to Aomei about this and other suggestions.
They are a very friendly bunch. I believe they are planning a new version.
I have 5.2 - there will be another version as soon as they can get it ready. No idea how long that will be.
|My System Specs
|03 Apr 2013
Yep,you are right.
I just installed the latest version 5.1.2 - that is what I could get and not 5.2 - on my laptop which does not have WAIK and it asked for WAIK when I wanted to create the WinPE ISO.

So glad you're all okay...yes the mountains. You described them so beautifully so perfectly...the patient, stoic, willing. And that is where we are today as wind and rain batter down. Prayers to all- east and west. <3ReplyDelete
I thought of you as I read reports of that Sandy having her way with your coast. Stay safe you.Delete
glad you're alright! i never heard anything else after the warning so it must have not been bad.ReplyDelete
So sweet of ya-- thanks. We were so fine that the boys really were able to sleep through much of the to do.
I'm glad you're OK! Scary stuff! We don't get tsunamis or hurricanes or tornadoes in Greece but we got earthquakes!!! Just as scary and there's no warning!ReplyDelete
Glad all of yours is Okay. We've had a bit of the bad weather here on the east coast.
Freaky weather almost everywhere....

2. The face may be drawn in pencil, but again only using very simple lines. Trace all with a dark crayon, pressing firmly.
3. Cut up various sheets of tissue paper, in about 3″ squares. With a cup of water and a paint brush, the students are to dampen the white paper, and place up pieces of tissue on top in a grid-like format. Once the paper is covered, the tissue may be picked up and thrown away. The student will find that the tissue color has bled to the paper in irregular shapes. It is wise to test tissue paper with water first as some bleed more than others.

Here are five things you need to know today in Woburn:
1) Solar feasibility
The Woburn Housing Authority is expected to discuss a resolution authorizing a solar panel feasibility study for WHA buildings in Woburn at its meeting this afternoon. Meeting begins at 4 p.m. at 59 Campbell St.
2) WMHS basketball
School vacation usually means some time off and some great athletic events to keep us busy. Today, the Woburn Memorial High School boys' varsity team will play in Holliston at 4 p.m., if you want to make the trip.
3) Snow turns to rain
According to the National Weather Service's pinpointed forecast for Woburn, we'll see a little snow, but mostly rain today. Expect fog and temperatures in the mid-40s. Hold onto those umbrellas and hats, wind gusts could reach 29 miles per hour.
4) In case you missed it
All this week, we'll be remembering the year 2012. Yesterday, we outlined the top 12 most widely-read stories on Woburn Patch over the year. Check them out here.
5) Historic Headline
Let's take a walk through Woburn's history, shall we? A headline in the newspaper regarding Dec. 27 events in Woburn was:
- 1897—Whole City Mourns Him—Funeral is held for former mayor M. T. Allen on Church Avenue. Service is attended by several "prominent" citizens and associates.

Happy b'day
Every 5 years we have an election and have to decide who are the least obnoxious out of all the men. Then one gets in and they age really quickly. Which is always fun to watch.
Happy birthday, have a good one.

Happy birthday mate.

"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."

Fighting the antibodies
Jon Udell has an interesting post about groups resisting change much the same way that antibodies take on an infection. He addresses some of the rather acerbic comments to my post about his Monad/MSH columns.
The latest news and views on all things Linux and open source by seasoned Unix and Linux user Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols.
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, aka sjvn, has been writing about technology and the business of technology since CP/M-80 was the cutting edge PC operating system. SJVN covers networking, Linux, open source, and operating systems.

As part of its effort to reduce open source Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD), IBM has released 500 of its patents for use without payment. A complete list is available here.
Groklaw has a link and writeup about a report from Chris Preimesberger about SCO's bad numbers for the fourth quarter of 2004, but a puzzling "optimistic" outlook. Preimesberger notes something that I've long been aware of, namely that SCO is very picky about who gets to ask questions during their quarterly conference calls:Something I want to mention about this conference call: No hardball questions were asked.
We have a great story on open source services from Martin LaMonica on ZDNet today. I recommend it.
One advantage I enjoy here at ZDNet is your diversity.All kinds of solutions are represented.
Linux is a big player in the embedded systems market. But is open source?
Is Apple prepping a new and improved office suite? The rumors that abound before Apple's Macword Expo are in full force, and one of the rumors gathering steam is that Apple might be ready to unveil a suite called iWork, with its Keynote presentation software and a new word processing program called Pages or perhaps Notes.
Robin (Roblimo) Miller's latest book is Point and Click Linux, which he is selling with his usual flair and understatement."Learn about Linux or get left behind," is the way he put it to Enterprise Linux News recently.
Preston Gralla has an interesting list of five things Microsoft won't do in 2005, but should. Worth a read, but one of the "should" items for Microsoft is also true of a great deal of open source software as well.
IBM has made more of a commitment to open source, in terms of money and people, than any other company.It also has more to show for its investment than anyone else.

Familiar cosmetic injectables such as Botox and Juvéderm target fine lines in the face, and Carbossi therapy, another injected treatment, infuses skin with carbon dioxide to tighten cells and stimulate photosynthesis in the forehead.

Today, their extensive selection of athletic supplements, minerals, herbs, and multivitamins is endorsed by a team of doctors and available at stores in 19 states.

BalancePlus 400
The BalancePlus 400 is the newest release from the number one curling shoe company. It's a hybrid between the 200 and 500 series shoes. It has an upper that is very similar to the 200, and a split sole similar to the 500. The main difference between the 400 and 500 soles is that the split slider / gripper is glued onto the sole, rather than attaching with velcro. The benefit to the split slider is increased flexibility and ultimately a little more comfort, whether you go up on your toe while delivering, or just going up and down the sheet sweeping. Available in ladies 5-10, 11 and mens 7-12, 13, 14, 15. Toe coating optional.

America is almost finished. A vote for Baba insures America is dead. Your children and grandchildren will live in a county with no spine, no moral beliefs, no motivation, no innovation. Ha! Ha! Most of my life was lived in the good America but with Baba the future lives will be in Bad America. Not sure how someone like Baba that hates Whites and America so much could ever gain any support. He is extremely skilled in lying and covering up the truth. And, anyone that supports Baba should go to h e l l with him.

In this section:
If your employer provides you with company 'benefits' or perks - such as medical insurance or a car - you may have to pay tax on them. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will usually include the value of the benefit in your tax code so that they can collect the tax due through PAYE (Pay As You Earn).
On this page:
HMRC adds the value of the benefit to any other untaxed income you have and takes away the total amount of income you've not paid tax on from the total value of your allowances and reliefs. The amount you're left with is the tax-free income you are allowed to receive in the current tax year.
You are entitled to the basic Personal Allowance of £10,000 (the amount for the 2014 to 15 tax year) and your employer has provided you with private medical insurance worth £600:
So you have tax-free income of £9,400 and your tax code is 940L.
HMRC will usually send you a 'PAYE Coding Notice' that explains exactly how they have dealt with the benefit in your tax code.
You have to pay tax on the benefit of using an employer's car for your private motoring. HMRC works out the value of the benefit by taking into account a number of things including the car's cost, its fuel type and its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions value.
Find out about tax you might have to pay on a company car
You have to pay tax on the value to you of using your employer's van privately. A standard charge - £3,090 for 2014 to 15 - normally applies. On 6 April 2010 the standard charge was reduced to nil for electric vans.
You'll see this code if you get free fuel that's available for you to use for your private motoring in a company car or van.
Fuel for cars: for 2014 to 15 the 'fuel charge multiplier' HMRC uses to work out the value of your fuel benefit is £21,700.
Fuel for vans: there is a flat rate charge of £581 for the 2014 to 15 tax year.
If your employer lends you more than £10,000 you have to pay tax on the benefit of paying no interest or interest at less than the official interest rate. The amount HMRC deducts from your tax-free pay is the difference between the interest you pay and what you would pay if interest was charged at the official rate.
Look up official interest rates
You have to pay tax on any private medical insurance your employer pays or provides for you - so HMRC deducts the value of this from your tax-free pay.
You'll see this where you have to pay tax on the value to you of benefits or expenses provided by your employer that are not covered by the categories above.
If you start to get taxable company benefits - for example if you change jobs - you should tell HMRC right away so that you don't get a large tax bill at the end of the year. (Employers don't have to tell HMRC about any company benefits you get until the end of the tax year, unless it's a company car.) HMRC will adjust your code number and start collecting all or some of the extra tax sooner - see the section 'New company benefits and your tax code' for more detail on how this works. If you get a company car or change your company car, you only need to report the details to HMRC once you have the use of the car.
You should also tell HMRC if you stop getting taxable company benefits. HMRC can then change your tax code and make sure you don't pay too much tax.
Either way, if HMRC changes your tax code you should receive a new PAYE Coding Notice from them.
If you get a new taxable company benefit HMRC changes your tax code to take account of:
If you get the benefit for part of the year only HMRC divides the actual benefit by 12 (months) and collects the amount due from the date the code changes - this means that you won't have paid enough tax at the end of the year. HMRC will collect the tax that you owe next year along with the annual amount due for that year. This has the effect of spreading your payments so that you don't have to pay the full amount right away.

The High Line Portrait Project was inspired by the many High Line supporters who have helped bring the project from an unlikely dream to a reality. When Friends of the High Line was founded in 1999, the High Line was a rusty industrial relic under threat of demolition. Now construction is underway to transform the structure into a one-of-a-kind public open space, the first section of which is expected to open in 2008. The High Line shows the possibility of the most far-reaching dreams to come true.
Photographer Tom Kletecka created portraits of more than 800 High Line supporters in front of a backdrop by Joel Sternfeld. Each participant was asked to share his or her dream. Installations of these portraits can be viewed at special outdoor galleries in the High Line neighborhood through summer 2007. The galleries are located at Gansevoort and Washington Streets, 18th Street between 10th and 11th Avenues, 10th Avenue at 18th Street, and 10th Avenue at 30th Street.
The High Line Portrait Project is made possible through the generous support of Fujifilm.
The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long elevated rail structure on Manhattan's West Side. It was built in the 1930s to remove dangerous trains from Manhattan's streets. No trains have run on it since 1980. Friends of the High Line (FHL), a community-based 501(c)(3) non-profit group, formed in 1999 by two neighborhood residents, Robert Hammond and Joshua David, when the historic structure was under threat of demolition. FHL's mission is to preserve the structure for reuse as an elevated public open space. FHL gained the City's support in 2002. The High Line south of 30th Street was donated to the City by CSX Transportation Inc. in 2005. The team of Field Operations and Diller Scofidio + Renfro is now at work on a design for the High Line's public landscape. Construction began in spring 2006, and the first phase (from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street) is projected to open in 2008.
For more information and to see designs for the new park, please visit www.thehighline.org.

25 Breast Cancer Myths Busted
Myth: Exposing a tumor to air during surgery causes cancer to spread.
Reality: Surgery doesn't cause breast cancer and it doesn't cause breast cancer to spread, as far as scientists can tell from the research so far.
Your doctor may find out during surgery that your cancer is more widespread than previously thought, however. And some animal studies have shown that removing the primary tumor sometimes enables metastatic cancers to grow, but only temporarily; this has not been demonstrated in humans.
