The Movement to End Poverty is a joint action of the Make Poverty History and Micah coalitions for all Australians who believe we can end extreme poverty.
What we are calling for:
"Since 1990, aid has helped to reduce extreme poverty, including almost halving the number of children around the world who die before their fifth birthday – 14,000 fewer children dying every single day.
Let's help make poverty history by giving our fair share of aid – just 70 cents in every $100 of Australia's national income by 2020.
As a step towards contributing our fair share, the Government must keep its promise to increase aid to 50 cents in every $100 dollars of national income by 2016 and the Opposition must match this commitment."
The Movement to End Poverty petition is aimed at showing the mass public support within Australia for fair, sustainable international development.
Make Poverty History are joining with other organisation to collect signatures and show the federal government that contributing a fair amount to sustainable human development is something many Australians support.

The Australian Government must deliver by 2016 on the bipartisan commitment to invest 0.5% of our nation's income in overseas aid. The Government should maintain a trajectory of increased aid beyond 2016 to reach 0.7% by 2020.
We must ensure that aid goes to the most vulnerable and poorest communities. For example, the world has enough food for all - yet, one in eight people on our planet go to bed hungry each night. We need to create a world where everyone has enough to eat always.
We must support nations to tackle tax evasion by increasing transparency and improving tax collection. The developing world is estimated to lose millions of dollars each year, largely due to multinational corporations failing to pay their share of tax. We need to support poor communities to adapt to the impacts of global warming.
Think we're talking a lot of money here? Our fair share of contributing to tackling global poverty is just 70c in every $100 of our nation's wealth. Have a look at how some other countries are achieving this global agreement on overseas aid spending:
Australia has one of the leading economies in the world. According to the International Monetary Fund, we have the seventh highest income per person. Furthermore, our level of debt is by far the lowest of any major developed country.
Despite our wealth, our government's spending on overseas aid is relatively low compared with other developed countries who give aid. Currently our aid budget ranks 13th out of 23 developed countries.
We can afford to do better to help provide lifesaving support such as health, education and clean water to the world's poor. Although we are financially well placed to provide aid, currently the Australian Government gives just 37 cents in every $100 hundred dollars of national income.
Overseas aid transforms lives. Since 1990 maternal death rates have nearly halved and the number of children dying each year has fallen by 42% – that is a drop of 5 million children's deaths each year. As a result of aid these improvements have been made on every continent and in almost every country.
Australia can afford to help the world's poor and has a moral obligation to do so!

Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by x3mom from x3mom We purchased 2 of these sinks for a master-bath remodel. We used existing cabinets so we wanted higher sinks, but didn't really like the look of a "bowl" sitting on the countertops. These fit the bill perfectly! I like the oval sinks as opposed to the round ones that are also in the Inscribe series as they are a better size for a master bath. The sinks are cast-iron, so they are heavy. If you need deep sinks, these won't work. Guess that's why they are called wading pools. We installed Moen vessel faucets too and only used one extension (2 are provided). Now the sinks and faucets are the perfect height and my bathroom is up-date yet still has a traditional feel to it. I think these sinks would tend to work in a modern or traditional setting, where-as may vessel sinks are too contemporary. When the sinks initially arrived, they each had different Kohler symbols on the them. I called FaucetDirect and they shipped another sink so I could have them matching since they are in the same bathroom. I had to pay for the extra sink, but when I returned one they quickly credited my account. I would highly recommend FaucetDirect.

Product Description
The Farm Shop is thrilled to release the very first Heritage Blankets, a collection of exquisite artisan blankets hand-woven with rare Navajo-Churro sheep's wool, grown and spun in Northern New Mexico.
Early Rio Grande, Pueblo, and Navajo textiles were woven from Churro, a now endangered breed that produces heirloom wool known for its luster, silky hand, and durability. Los Poblanos was instrumental in the reintroduction of Churro sheep in the 1930s. Launched by Espanola Valley Fiber Arts Center, we jumped at the opportunity to support a project that preserves New Mexican culture and benefits rural weaving communities.
Very few are woven each year and for a limited time, we have three designs available in either natural or dark gray wool.
All colors are natural undyed wool from the sheep, so colors may vary slightly from blanket to blanket.
Each blanket is approximately 47″ x 72″.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Information and Resources
Antibody Tests (Coombs Test)
Why It Is Done continued...
The direct Coombs test also may be done on a newborn baby with Rh-positive blood whose mother has Rh-negative blood. The test shows whether the mother has made antibodies and if the antibodies have moved through the placenta to her baby.
Indirect Coombs test
The indirect Coombs test finds certain antibodies that are in the liquid part of your blood (serum). These antibodies can attack red blood cells but are not attached to your red blood cells. The indirect Coombs test is commonly done to find antibodies in a recipient's or donor's blood before a transfusion.
A test to determine whether a woman has Rh-positive or Rh-negative blood (Rh antibody titer) is done early in pregnancy. If she is Rh-negative, steps can be taken to protect the baby.
How To Prepare
You do not need to do anything before you have this test.
How It Is Done
The health professional drawing blood will:
- Wrap an elastic band around your upper arm to stop the flow of blood. This makes the veins below the band larger so it is easier to put a needle into the vein.
- Clean the needle site with alcohol.
- Put the needle into the vein. If the needle is not placed correctly or if the vein collapses, more than one needle stick may be needed.
- Hook a tube to the needle to fill it with blood.
- Remove the band from your arm when enough blood is collected.
- Put a gauze pad or cotton ball over the needle site as the needle is removed.
- Put pressure to the site and then a bandage.
How It Feels
The blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm. An elastic band is wrapped around your upper arm. It may feel tight. You may feel nothing at all from the needle, or you may feel a quick sting or pinch.
There is very little chance of a problem from having blood sample taken from a vein.
- You may get a small bruise at the site. You can lower the chance of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for several minutes.
- In rare cases, the vein may become swollen after the blood sample is taken. This problem is called phlebitis. A warm compress can be used several times a day to treat this.
- Ongoing bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning medicines can make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medicine, tell your doctor before your blood sample is taken.
Antibody tests (Coombs tests) are done to find antibodies that attack red blood cells.
No antibodies are found. This is called a negative test result.
- Direct Coombs test. A negative test result means that your blood does not have antibodies attached to your red blood cells.
- Indirect Coombs test. A negative test result means that your blood is compatible with the blood you are to receive by transfusion. A negative indirect Coombs test for Rh factor (Rh antibody titer) in a pregnant woman means that she has not developed antibodies against the Rh-positive blood of her baby. This means that Rh sensitization has not occurred.
- Direct Coombs test. A positive result means your blood has antibodies that fight against red blood cells. This can be caused by a transfusion of incompatible blood or may be related to conditions such as hemolytic anemia or hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN).
- Indirect Coombs test. A positive test result means that your blood is incompatible with the donor's blood and you can't receive blood from that person. If the Rh antibody titer test is positive in a woman who is pregnant or is planning to become pregnant, it means that she has antibodies against Rh-positive blood (Rh sensitization). She will be tested early in pregnancy to check the blood type of her baby. If the baby has Rh-positive blood, the mother will be watched closely throughout the pregnancy to prevent problems to the baby's red blood cells. If sensitization has not occurred, it can be prevented by a shot of Rh immunoglobulin.

BMC Mountainbike Racing Team
UCI World Cup, 3rd round, Val di Sole, Italy
June 15, 2013 - Commezzadura. In Val di Sole the BMC Mountainbike Racing Team again managed to be represented with two riders on the World Cup podium. Julien Absalon was second behind Nino Schurter, Lukas Flückiger took fifth place. The team defended its lead in the overall standings.
In the humid heat of Val di Sole the world's two outstanding mountain bikers challenged each other once again in an epic battle. Julien Absalon and Nino Schurter dueled till they reached the finishing straight on the last lap, where the Swiss rider summoned his larger power reserves to win three seconds ahead of his French rival.
Julien Absalon suffered bad luck at the start, when one of the riders in front of him stopped briefly. Absalon had to slow down, falling twelve seconds behind Nino Schurter, who led the race.
"First of all I had to close this gap. That demanded a lot of energy," said Julien Absalon. The two-time Olympic champion then tried to pass Schurter repeatedly in a direct head-to-head-duel, but Schurter knew how to prevent him from succeeding. In the fifth round Absalon attacked vigorously, but the world champion fended him off and launched a counter attack, gaining a four-second-lead for some time.
"Then I thought: Oh, maybe this will be really difficult now! But I was able to catch up to him again. We are on the same level, but currently I do not have the key how to beat Nino," was Absalon's assessment of the situation, without him being disappointed about the result.
His teammate Lukas Flückiger did not risk to intervene in this neck-and-neck-battle . Instead he and his brother Mathias spent most of the race together in fourth and fifth position. "This course commands respect, and it doesn't really suit me. I would have been able to keep up with them, but the question was: for how long? I think it was the right decision. I am the only biker who has managed to be on the podium at every world cup race so far this year," said Lukas Flückiger, runner-up at the world championship s2012.
Ralph Naef gave a strong race performance. Two laps before the finish he still was in 15th place. Then he suffered a major setback, however, due to his lack of competition . He finally finished the race in 34th position.
BMC Mountainbike Racing managed to take second place in the team standings and thus was able to defend first place in the overall ranking.
In the men's standings Lukas Flückiger has moved up to third place overall, whereas Julien Absalon is in fourth position already - having finished only two races.
Matthias Stirnemann and Reto Indergand finished fifth and sixth in the U23 competition. "We are ready for the European championships in Bern", said the two in unison.

Trying to please everyone will end in frustration, stymieing your momentum and ultimately failing.
The solution is to please precisely the right people, those that will get it and no more. This will give you enough to get the work out the door.
There are always those that actively discourage. Choose what to hear wisely.

Peters led the Jaguars with nine points for the night, and Kuumba and sophomore Sarah Nunes contributed eight each.
McNair 65, West 43
West High's girls fell 65-43 to the McNair Eagles at home Thursday, Jan. 24
But Wolf Pack coach Joe Hernandez said his team's performance as a strong start to the second half of the Tri-City Athletic League season.
The last time West (10-13, 1-5 TCAL) faced McNair (20-1, 5-1) the Eagles won, 83-15.
The Eagles again dominated the first half to pull ahead 41-14 going into the third quarter, but the second half belonged to West.
This time, the Wolf Pack played its own powerful press to limit McNair's scoring chances in the third quarter, outscoring the Eagles 29-24 in the second half.
Senior Emma Bell scored six of her team-high 14 points in the third quarter, and junior Nini Woodward scored six of her 10 points in the third.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (April 21)-Graded stakes winner Alphie's Bet tops a field of eight in the $200,000 TVG Snow Chief Stakes, the main event on the 11th California Gold Rush program on Saturday at Hollywood Park.
Restricted to California breds, the Gold Rush features eight stakes races with purses totaling $910,000.
Trained by Alexis Barba for owners Peter O. Johnson, Sr. and breeder Teresa McWilliams, Alphie's Bet had designs on the Kentucky Derby on May 1 at Churchill Downs, but his hopes were dashed with an off-the-board finish in the Santa Anita Derby. The son of Tribal Rule was sixth on April 3, 8 ¼ lengths behind wire-to-wire winner Sidney's Candy.
Prior to the Derby, Alphie's Bet had won the Sham, a Grade III, which, at 1 1/8 miles, is the same distance as the Snow Chief. A winner twice in six races, Alphie's Bet will be ridden on Saturday by Mike Smith, who was aboard for the colt's first two starts last fall. He will break from post 2 and carry highweight of 124 pounds. The Snow Chief is the sixth race on the card.
Drawn directly inside of Alphie's Bet is Self Made. An Old Topper colt owned by breeder Tommy Town Thoroughbreds and trained by John Sadler, Self Made is perfect in two starts. He rallied from last to win against maidens at six furlongs on Feb. 21, then successfully stretched out to 1 1/16 miles on April 1. Rafael Bejarano, fresh off another meet title in Southern California at Santa Anita, will ride.
From the inside out, the complete field for the Snow Chief: Self Made, Bejarano, 118; Alphie's Bet, Smith, 124; Mr Tokyo, Joe Talamo, 116; Warren's Kong, Martin Pedroza, 116; Cahill Country, Victor Espinoza, 118; Working Capital, Joel Rosario, 116; Leaving New York, Travis Dunkelberger, 116 and Straightomidnight, Omar Berrio, 116.
Dunkelberger, who will be making his first appearance at Hollywood Park, tied the North American record for consecutive wins by a rider with nine last Nov. 15 at Charles Town.
The other races on Saturday with six digit purses are the $150,000 Melair Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles, the $150,000 B. Thoughtful for older fillies and mares at 7 ½ furlongs and the $150,000 Tiznow for older horses at 7 ½ furlongs.
La Nez, who was second behind impressive winner Tanda in the Santa Paula on March 28 at Santa Anita in her first start of 2010, has won two of five starts when facing Cal breds. Trained by Eric Kruljac for Class Racing Stable and partners, the daughter of Storm Creek scored her biggest victory in the California Cup Juvenile Fillies last Oct. 3 during the Oak Tree meet at Santa Anita.
Smith, who was aboard for the Cal Cup win, retains the mount on La Nez, who drew post 2 in the field of seven and will carry co-highweight – along with Camille C – of 120 pounds.
Tommy Town Thoroughbreds also has a strong contender in the B. Thoughtful. U R All That I Am, a 4-year-old Valid Wager filly, will be seeking her seventh win in 14 starts for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.
The winner of the Cat's Cradle Handicap in her lone race at Hollywood Park, U R All That I Am was beaten by a head in the Irish O'Brien on turf in her most recent outing on March 20. She drew post four and will carry 120 pounds. Joel Rosario will ride.
Eight are scheduled to participate in the Tiznow, including defending champion Liberian Freighter.
Owned by Shawn Dugan, Charles Winner and the Estate of Ed Nahem and trained by Neil Drysdale, Liberian Freighter won the Tiznow by 1 ½ lengths as the 5-2 favorite in 2009.
The 5-year-old son of Bertrando is winless in three subsequent starts, most recently finishing fifth in the Crystal Water on grass on Feb. 28.
Bejarano, who has ridden Liberian Freighter to his last two wins, stays with the gelding, who will leave from the rail.
His opponents include One Track Mind, a two time winner over the Hollywood Park main track, and Earnednevergiven, who has won two in a row since returning from a layoff of nearly 15 months for trainer Mike Machowsky.
The other Gold Rush stakes are the $60,000 Alphabet Kisses for maiden fillies and mares at six furlongs, the $70,000 Grey Memo for 3-year-olds & up at seven furlongs, the $70,000 Warren's Thoroughbreds for fillies and mares at seven furlongs and the $60,000 NTRA for maidens at 6 ½ furlongs.
First post time for the 10-race card is 1 p.m.

Legendary Tribute: An Entertaining Celebration
Buy Your Tickets to 'A Tribute to Tom' Here
By Randy York
Whatever vision you might have regarding Tom Osborne's last act, curtain call or swan song, perish the thought right now. The Saturday Night Live performance on March 9, 2013, inside Omaha's CenturyLink Center, will not indulge anyone buying a ticket with your traditional "Thank You Tom" Tribute.
No sir and no ma'am. This Tribute to Tom Night of Legends Gala "is not going to be a retirement dinner. It's going to be one big celebration with two hours of fast-moving entertainment," said Paul Meyers, Nebraska's associate athletic director for the Huskers Athletic Fund.
It will be a celebration and a stage show of amusement and amazement rolled into one … a real hootenanny for a legendary coach and athletic director who retired Jan. 1, 2013, and remains on the scene as Nebraska's Athletic Director Emeritus.
"This is about Coach Osborne," Meyers said. "He's a legend, and we're celebrating his legendary impact on Nebraskans over the last 50 years. We decided early on that we should do this in a way that's never been done before. So we're going to celebrate the accomplishments of a legendary man with some more legendary coaches, legendary players and legendary performers."
Miami Dance Company Opens the Curtains
That is not a typo. Performers will be a big part of this really big show that will open with the New Century Dancers, a company on the cutting edge of technically superior live entertainment planning and production.
Why wouldn't the opening kickoff to this Hall-of-Fame revelry feature talent from Miami, the home of some of Osborne's greatest football memories? I mean, Osborne's first national championship came in the Orange Bowl against a Hurricane team led by Ray Lewis and Warren Sapp, both legends themselves. And who can forget Osborne's third and last national title two years later in Miami against the nation's No. 2 Tennessee team, led by none other than the legendary Peyton Manning?
"I can only imagine what the New Century Dancers will do to showcase some of Coach Osborne's best games, memorable bowls and national championships," Meyers said, knowing full well that the fun certainly won't stop there for Nebraska's own version of Saturday Night Live honoring perhaps the state's greatest legend.
"Because Coach is such a legend himself, we've hired the best Legends in Concert," Meyers said, waiting for me to ask which one will dazzle a Nebraska crowd the most – Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond or Frank Sinatra?
College Football Icon: Osborne Did It His Way
I didn't bite because every one of those performers will knock your socks off. I've seen Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder in a Legends Concert, and you can't go wrong with anything their impersonators sing. I know I would enjoy hearing someone impersonating Neil Diamond with America and I Am, I Said. I can also envision a Sinatra impersonator saluting Osborne with My Way and then Fly Me to the Moon, as long as there's a full one over Miami and Nebraska's leading on the scoreboard.
"We're definitely going to have some fun with all this," Meyers said, pointing out that the night's overall theme will be a Nebraska version of ESPN Sports Center, replete with College GameDay Host Chris Fowler serving as emcee. Fowler has been the primary studio host for college football since 1989, so he's seen Osborne's 60-3 reign of terror up close. Who knows? Maybe he'll point out how Nebraska might hold a slight comparative advantage over Alabama's recent dynasty.
We've all seen ESPN ads where the most powerful sports network pokes fun at its own on-air personalities. Let the record show that there will be more than one Nebraska-related vignette on this special night to honor a special man, husband, father, grandfather, coach, Congressman, athletic director, mentor and leader.
Alvarez, Switzer, Snyder, Plus Husker Stars
Meyers and his event planning team have all sorts of ways to honor Osborne with a creative parting shot, not to mention appropriate crowning glory.
Did we mention three legendary coaches who will be in Omaha that night? They are Barry Alvarez, Barry Switzer and Bill Snyder. Scott Frost, the last quarterback to play for Osborne, will be there. So will Irving Fryar, who shocked his head coach when he earned his own doctorate degree last spring.
Nebraska has received commitments from Heisman Trophy winners Johnny "The Jet" Rodgers and Eric Crouch and please stay tuned for other Husker major award winners who might commit using those three magical Michael Jackson words – I'll Be There!
Legend is definitely a theme here, but we all know Tom Osborne. He might interpret legend as old and say if you're not dead, how can you be a legend? T.O. probably belongs in the camp of an American journalist/satirist who once labeled a legend as "a lie that has attained the dignity of age".
Two of T.O.'s Favorite Causes Will Benefit
We all know better, especially when you consider how energized Osborne still is at 75. I mean, he could be the poster boy for the adage that age is a case of mind over matter; if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Right?
"Coach Osborne is a true legend, and that's why we want to honor him with something we've never seen here," Meyers said. "CenturyLink has told us we can accommodate 4,000 people that night, and we'd love to fill the place up. This is going to be an evening to remember and an important piece of Nebraska history, so it was only natural and logical to ask Coach where the proceeds should go."
In Meyers' opinion, Osborne selected two "legendary" causes near and dear to his heart: 1) The TeamMates Mentoring Program that Tom and wife Nancy co-founded 21 years ago; and 2) The Nebraska Athletic Research Center for Study of Brain and Sport Performance. The center will be located inside an expanded East Stadium this fall and will be the first research facility in the history of intercollegiate athletics.
Reservations must be received by Feb. 25 and can be made with a check or credit card (Visa, Mastercard or Discover). For more information, or to make a reservation, click here. For questions, please call 402-472-2367 or 800-8-BIGRED, or e-mail email@example.com.
Meyers was not surprised by Osborne's designated causes. "Leave it to a legend to help more kids get one-on-one mentoring and tackle something like concussions at the same time," he said. "We know the price of these tickets is higher than events we usually sponsor, but we also know this Tribute to Tom will be in an historic league of its own with the proceeds benefiting causes that prove what we all know – 'There is no place like Nebraska!'"

The following day, I attended a workshop about preventing gender violence, facilitated by Katz. There, he posed a question to all of the men in the room: "Men, what things do you do to protect yourself from being raped or sexually assaulted?"
Not one man, including myself, could quickly answer the question. Finally, one man raised his hand and said, "Nothing." Then Katz asked the women, "What things do you do to protect yourself from being raped or sexually assaulted?" Nearly all of the women in the room raised their hand. One by one, each woman testified:
"I don't make eye contact with men when I walk down the street," said one.
"I don't put my drink down at parties," said another.
"I use the buddy system when I go to parties."
"I cross the street when I see a group of guys walking in my direction."
"I use my keys as a potential weapon."
The women went on for several minutes, until their side of the blackboard was completely filled with responses. The men's side of the blackboard was blank. I was stunned. I had never heard a group of women say these things before. I thought about all of the women in my life — including my mother, sister and girlfriend — and realized that I had a lot to learn about gender."—

oooh.... I've been having Mexican cravings for a couple of weeks and have yet to make anything. This might just be enough to get me to get it together enough to make something. I am drooooling looking over this list!!
Great roundup! My favorite vegetarian combo is portabellas, peppers and onions. (Recipe here.) The avocado crema is good on just about everything (a spoon included)!
I'll make anything into a taco! Tonight I'm making tacos filled with spicy lentil hummus, feta, lettuce, red onion, and tomato.
My favorites are my healthy fiesta fish tacos and my less healthy slow roasted pork tacos. I'm not a huge burrito fan but I love tacos, pretty much any kind!
For me, a good old fashioned Tex-Mex taco can really hit the spot. Beef fajitas are also really good and simple to make at home. If I eat out, cheese enchiladas with chile gravy are my weakness.
I made a Korean torta last night and it was so delish. I split a Mexican bollilo roll in half, toasted it, and then filled it with homemade bulgogi, Asian slaw, and mayo mixed with Sriracha.
Tacos are my favorite quick meal.
I made some nice ones the other day with chickpeas, black beans, and corn in a pumpkinseed-basil sauce.
Here are some smoky spicy black bean and brocolli tacos with chipotle and smoked paprika.
Enchiladas take a little longer, but they're worth it! Here are some black bean and butternut enchiladas with a spicy tomato almond sauce.
I still make tacos with old fashion ground beef and hard taco shells! Not sophisticated but still very satisfying!
I made the beans and corn tostadas last night. We loved the cilantro dressing. I substituted my husband's homemade sour cream for the yogurt. It also helped use the corn and cilantro that came in our produce box this week! We eat "tacos" at least twice a week to use up leftovers.
I adore Mexican food but it's not common in the UK, especially the north where I live, and I'm certain that I've never had really good or authentic Mexican food. That said, I went to try a burrito bar that opened up in the city today and it was amazing - sweet pulled pork, spicy beans, soft tortillas... I make burritos, enchiladas, tacos, fajitas, tostadas and huevos rancheros at home and they're all a wonderful excuse to eat lots of fresh veg with a squeeze of lime and some yogurt.
I think our most frequently-eaten meal is a plain rice, bean and cheese burrito with chopped tomatoes and yogurt. Hits the spot every time.

A Traditional string usually has 10 to 12 twists in it. It can have up to 20 and no less then 10. To get the desired brace height you need to untwist your string.

It's hard to untwist an untwisted string! The 8" BH strings were untwisted when I put them on.
I did put the factory string on my bow and it made my bow have a 6.5" brace height.
I think the point of this thread is that different manufacturers make strings different lengths even though they say their string matches the AMO standard.
Most string builders know that traditional strings are built 3.5" shorter then what the bow is marked. If I built you 3 strings the same, one out of B55 one out of B50 and the last out of dyna 97 your bh for all of them would vary. Now if you have a string the maker made out of 452x then I hope you have reinforced tips. The material on most recurves is stretchy to take up the rebound of the limbs. If you have a untwisted string they didn't know what they were doing! The strands of string material needs to bundled together to work properly. Take a look at this link http://www.mac.asn.au/string_making.htm it explains bow strings and trad strings. Now if you want a bow string that gives a 6.5 brace height you need to have someone one build you one with the right material and length.
One thing I forgot you need to do is order a string a 1/4" longer so you can untwist and twist if needed.

Small Business Saturday: 30 Etsy Shops for Cooks
Have you heard about Small Business Saturday? Tomorrow, Saturday November 27, is a day to celebrate and support your favorite local and small businesses, and to make sure they get a big slice of the holiday shopping action. We absolutely love shopping for kitchen and dining things in Etsy's crafts marketplace, so here are 30 of my own personal favorite small shops from there (and elsewhere, too). Take a look through for ideas for yourself and others this holiday season.
A big shout-out for this idea goes to Maggie Mason of Mighty Girl, who posted her own list of favorite Etsy shops for Small Business Saturday. See her (non-kitchen-related) list here:
• Top 30 Etsy Shops for Small Business Saturday at Mighty Girl
You can find more about Small Business Saturday at their Facebook page:
• Small Business Saturday at Facebook
And now, here is a look at some of own personal favorites, pulled from my Etsy favorites. Share your own cooking and kitchen-related small businesses and Etsy shops below in the comments!
Here, in no particular order, are some favorites. I had soooooo many to choose from, so rather arbitrarily I left off vintage shops, for now.
• Pigeon Toe Ceramics - Colorful, modern ceramics made in Portland by a small studio team.
• Beehive Kitchenware - Charming, handsome spoons and ceramics.
• Wood Elements - Beautifully-crafted rolling pins, biscuit cutters, and garden tools.
• Gray Works Design - Gorgeous wood boards, tables, and "plattes" — footed serving platters.
• LinenMe - Linen tablecloths and napkins made by a family business in Lithuania.
• Kiki LaRu - Cake bunting!
• Stephee - Handmade pizza peels.
• Micaceous Pottery - Bean pots, bowls, and other traditional Apache pottery made in Santa Fe.
• Paulova - Salt, sugar, and other corked jars with pretty patterns.
• Simple Heart - Skillet mitts! The perfect accessory for the cast iron pan.
• PataPri - Colorful tea towels from Japan.
• Jason Russell Potter - Truly modern and stylish bowls and other pottery.
• Yevgenia - Unique, unusual hand-painted ceramics and glassware from Brooklyn.
• Sitting in Sawdust - Handmade salt boxes and spice racks.
• The Near Future - Pretty awesome tea towels from Sydney.
• 1canoe2 - A great recipe box, and letterpress prints and recipe cards for the kitchen.
• The Village Pottery - Charming, old-fashioned pottery from England.
• The Fabric Society - Hemp runners, furoshiki, reusable food bags, and aprons.
• LampGoods - Great lighting for the kitchen, much of it made from recycled glass jars.
• Flowerboy - Fresh culinary herb wreaths, made with organic herbs.
• Inklore - Linen aprons, tea towels, produce sacks, and more.
• YeeHaw - Cards and prints for cooks and food-lovers.
• DistleFunk - Very cool cookie stamps.

OK, your turn! What are some of your favorite local and internet small businesses making supplies and goodies for the kitchen?
9 Comments
I gave those Jane Austen mugs last year, to rave reviews.
Super cute custom labels for your kitchen :)
I picked up a great wine rack from here --> http://www.etsy.com/transaction/33945904
I love Dovetail ceramics!
Wow, $45-$96 for measuring spoons. Cute, but I'm gonna pass.
No offense to the Etsy shopowners featured here, but I think most of these items would appeal more to people who don't cook than those who do.
I agree with engineergirl: with all of the various kitchen/cooking utensils that make up the toolbox of a serious cook practically spilling out of my cabinets, I just can't afford the space for items that serve one purpose and take up room (like that "egg and soldiers" only plate, or those bulky cookie stamps, or those spice test tubes that look like they couldn't hold whole cinnamon or nutmeg, and that you could never get a spoon in to measure ground stuff, etc, etc...), no matter how cute they are. When it comes to actual kitchen tools, the best bets are high quality, multi-functional objects that hold up and do their jobs without hogging space.
That being said, all of the stuff presented here is very beautiful and I love how it looks. :D
does anyone else love the black t shirt in the photo at the beginning of this post? and does anyone have an idea of where to find one like it?
lborealis-- I love it too! I keep scrolling back up to look at it. I'd love to know the source as well.

Okay here is the issue, i have my nemesis and love it but upon setting it up for hunter class 3d i ran into some issues.
My spot hogg sight does not have enough adjustment i have it maxed out as far to the left as i can and its still about 4 inches not enough @ 20 yards.
Upon brainstorming i thought well maybe its just me being a little rusty with my back tension release, but upon further investigation i believe i have just to much cam lean. which i believe is due to the roller guard (which i absolutely despise with a passion)
I have a shoot next weekend in Ohio (Hotel and shooting fees already paid) and really need to get this resolved, any input appreciated if I am going about this wrong let me know and i would also like to know if the Nemesis can be converted to a roller guard if so let me know the part number or if any of you guys have a spare i could buy Thanks!

"I got these boots in preparation for what I believed would be another New York winter w/o snow. Am so glad that I bought them!! Have wore them almost every day in January and February and the waterproofing has held. Yes, I agree with the other reviewers in that next time I will order a half size larger but the difficulty in getting the boots on did not result in any discomfort or any foot problems (I am a diabetic so I need to be careful with my feet). Excellent product!! Am so glad that they come in a double E because too many New Balance shoes are stopping at D!"

"Was given these in Grey as a gift, because I so love the 978 (own 3 pairs), but wanted a different color than brown. Returned them because I absolutely hated the fabric top-collar, where the final lace-up hooks are attached. The way they are attached causes the fabric to deform (collapse?), making it hard to get the lace around the hook. The leather collar on the 978 is far superior. New Balance - if you are thinking about discontinuing the 978, please don't assume this style is a good substitute. In fact, please offer the 978 in Black or Grey in all currently-available (2E) widths!"

Yes, I recommend this product.
"This is a great boot/shoe but it has 2 problems! 1. It is 1/2 size too short so order up. It is same for the comparable men's boot. Just sent a pair back for an exchange. 2. For some reason the top hooks release the lacing if too loose, so I would recommend a longer hook. These are great boots and would purchase again."
