I added a couple more seam treatments yesterday. I'm not embellishing them more yet but I want to keep getting more seams stitched to really have a solid base layer to embellish over.

I used to have so much trouble with this step, I know I have a tendency to over-think it all and end up getting stuck because I want it to be perfect. Wendy taught me a lot about the beauty in imperfection. She would simply find an idea she loved and put it on the block and it always turned out so beautiful! She completed whole quilts for her kids that were not perfect but were so stunningly beautiful! I always admired how she simply did stuff and didn't over think it like I do. If she had been stuck on perfection the quilts would never have been finished. Sometimes when I see beautiful work I purposely notice the imperfections that create a whole of beauty and let it soak into my heart, that there is proof after proof that there is beauty in imperfection. Sometimes it's the imperfections that add interest to things that give it a special unique beauty that can't be replicated.

So I'm doing my best to go with the flow, to find a stitch I like and go with what feels right and not over plan it but just do it. To trust my creative instincts because they usually steer me right, and if not I can always do it over. Without taking risks we aren't truly living.

I really appreciate each comment left for me, thank you to everyone who is supporting me in this. Thank you for caring and reading what I write, it means a lot to me.

First I chose a Chevron Stitch and picked a red wool thread and I threaded the needle and just put it in place and eyeballed the placement and spacing. It's not perfect, but there's something wonderful about it not being absolutely perfect. Proof that a human made it, and people are imperfect yet beautiful too.

The second one I chose was a combination stitch, a chained feather stitch. I liked the feeling of tiny rose buds this one gives and I used a fine light pink silk thread.

 I really wanted to add the quote "Always remember you're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and twice as beautiful as you'd ever imagine." because I really strongly feel that it summed Wendy up so well of who she is and what she would want each person to know about themselves that I just had to figure out a way to incorporate it.

I used Microsoft Word to get the Font and Shape and printed it out. Above is the test print. Below is the final print onto fabric.

I tried different fabrics and settled on this printed cotton. I also had to change the type to bold so that enough ink would transfer to the fabric. I loved this rose print, it's perfect for this! And it was the last bit of this fabric that I have in my stash so I was really happy it printed perfect onto it since there's always a risk involved with this method of transfer.

The method I used was to simply print it on paper first and then tape a piece of fabric over the print and re-feed and print it onto the fabric. I then iron it and give it a shot of steam to help set the ink on the fabric.

Here it is after I appliqued it into place, I plan on embroidering around it later on. I want to work on more seam treatments before I embroider around it though.

Okay here's how the block was left off as way back in 2009. I guess looking back through old posts I never blogged the last progress I had made which was adding some Turkish Oya up in the right hand top corner. As well as a few more seam treatments over there too. Also I had finished the rose garland and added some silk cut out leaves to the center. I started on some dangling leafy vines at the base of some lace and never finished it up. I remember Wendy seeing those additions and loving them! I really miss her!

So today I finished up the last leafy/vine dangle, not sure what to call them, LOL! I also started thinking over what seam treatments to add next. I want to make sure I get the depth of layering in this piece so I'm going to focus on getting more seam treatments in before I start adding motifs and such.

It's nice to be embroidering again, I've always loved it and always will. Even if I pause for a time here and there I know I will always, always come back to it again. It was very soothing to be focused on stitching. Also I can feel my creativity brimming with inspiration and I've always loved using CQ as an outlet for that. I'm always creative in some way. The last year I've been on a journey to a healthy weight and along the way I've found that I'm a FOODIE! LOL And I enjoy creating new things to eat that support a healthy weight and are really yummy! I even have a food blog! It's neat how creativity can translate into so many areas of life. I know that might seem random but I figured it might be nice to update you all to my life right now too.

I believe my CQ has taken a backseat for a while since I was needing to be more active and this tends to be a more sedentary activity. I'm better able to balance things now so I believe that I can reintegrate this part of my life too.

I have a bit of bad news. My dear sweet friend of 15 years passed away from cancer on Oct. 12th. I don't know how many readers I still have that also knew her but Wendy aka Wandering Rose also did Crazy Quilting and Embroidery. I remember when I first taught her CQ and she created her first block and also started a blog. I was her friend when she met her wonderful husband and in her wedding. She created a beautiful Wedding Pillow for an Anniversary Gift for me which I treasure very much! She did beautiful thread painting, and created quilts for her children (that I also got to help her with). She always amazed me in all that she accomplished and did! She was a beautiful person and I got to be her friend. She was there for me when I needed her, always gave the best hugs and made you feel valuable just because you were YOU. We laughed together and we cried together! We had bad times and wonderful good times! If you need a laugh read this story she shared that cracked me up so bad and still gives me a giggle. It's really hard to write this but I know I need to as part of my grieving process.

The wonderful thing about Needle Artists is that many of us share a common thread of having very romantic hearts. There's a saying that is very popular in Crazy Quilting that makes an appearance on many quilts and that is this: "When This You See Remember Me"
I will never forget her, she will forever reside in my heart as the dearest of friends. I recently saw a quote on Pinterest that I thought was perfectly fitting of Wendy as well as what she would want each and every person to know about themselves as well:

"Always remember you're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and twice as beautiful as you'd ever imagine."
I was thinking over what I wanted to do and I thought of a Memorial Crazy Quilt Block to honor her but I had no idea how I would start it when I looked over and saw an old block that has been unfinished for years. It's from the time before cancer and Wendy touched it and she loved it and the theme is ROSES, roses, roses and the colors are the exact colors I think of when I think of her. Bright, bold and beautiful. It's the perfect block to finish into a Wandering Rose Memorial. I seem to do my best work when it has love and meaning behind it, and that's probably why that block sat for so long it never had a purpose. But now it will and in my mind I can envision such a beautiful work filled with roses because that was her favorite flower of all time!

So yes I am still here and I do still love Crazy Quilting and Embroidery and everything! A lot has happened in the last year or so since I've last blogged here. But now I will be working on this project and blogging it. Wendy deserves nothing short of the best eye candy I can create! LOL She would love that! And that is what I will do!

Wendy I will always love you!

LOL Now that I'm half way through I'll just finish it anyway.

It's "Ice Crystals" from the book "Big Book of Tatting".Melissahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190365.post-42701999684137629752013-08-13T14:30:00.000-07:002013-08-13T14:30:10.513-07:00Crazy Quilt Throw: Four Block, Block I started making a larger block with four small blocks from my Cream Crazy Quilt Throw. I figure if I make these larger blocks maybe it will be easier to keep working on them in larger chunks at a time. At first I went to lay out all 48 to see how to put them together but what I saw was it doesn't really matter they are all really well randomized in the piecing so I can just throw 4 together and it will work...I'll make it work! LOL I forgot what the size was going to be so I had to check back on my blog posts and found that I had decided on 8 blocks by 6 blocks. So I'll need 8 blocks of 4 and then 4 blocks of 2. I might add the blocks of 2 to some 4's to create 4 blocks of 6 which would make it overall into 8 larger sections to work on before piecing those together. Anyway 48 single blocks just feels so overwhelming, which I believe is why it's sat for a few years with just a little work here and there. It feels a little overwhelming to piece these all together too but I think if I can get going it will start to snowball for me. Crossing my fingers that I can keep it up...I kinda see it as a miracle that I even have all 48 pieced in the first place!!! HAHAHA I started in Sept. 2007 finished piecing in June 2009, and now starting to put those together in Aug. 2013 sheesh!!!Melissahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190365.post-49679321727274478482013-07-26T15:10:00.001-07:002013-07-26T15:12:06.090-07:00Operation Snowflake: May's Progress Here's the snowflake I chose for May. It's "Ice Crystals" from the book "Big Book of Tatting". It says intermediate on the pattern but it is very easy and a nice one to tat after the last one! LOL

Oy! But at least I have this beauty done, albeit imperfectly done but DONE! LOL If anyone else is interested in tatting it you can find the pattern here: Leaves Flake Snowflake
Now to continue playing catch-up...

Added some vintage tatting from my stash. And doodled a bit of a motif and started filling in a vine stem with back stitching.

I'm going to make the cabochon into a pearl surrounded brooch. I folded a piece of lace and thought it makes a great napkin! Then I started marking a seam. Last block I didn't do seams first and I hated that I didn't! So this time though it feels like I'm walking uphill in sand, I'm going to do the seams first! Then get to all the rest. I just feel like I draw a blank when it comes to seams, motifs I always have ideas flowing. I'm not sure why it's so hard for me to envision seam treatments. Maybe it's because I want them to be perfect and I'm not that good at being meticulous even though I enjoy the look of meticulous! HA! Whereas motifs are very free-form and look great that way. Oh well, I'm hoping it'll get easier as I do it more, that's usually how it is.Melissahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-33190365.post-18520913663852416562013-04-17T13:11:00.000-07:002013-04-17T13:12:29.683-07:00What do you do? Inspiration, Motivation, and Oz! LOL

What do you do when inspiration and motivation to create seem to have flown out the window? Lately it seems the mood to create has left me. My garden is blooming like crazy and I'm enjoying taking photos of the flowers again, but CQ and Tatting have been pushed aside with no desire to pick it up. I'm happy to be taking lots of pretty flower photos and tons of them are on my Honey Bee's Photos blog!

I also took a trip to visit family and it was fun! I had packed some tatting for the airplane but I never picked it up once! LOL I did get that round of chains finished weeks ago on the doily but I still haven't taken a photo of it! LOL It's like procrastination set in and got out of control! LOL

I did pick out some pink and yellow fabrics, inspired by my roses. I think I better just buckle down and make a block at least...sometimes it's like giving your battery a jump-start to just DO IT.

How do you overcome the blahs? Do you wait for it to come or do something to jump-start yourself again? It seems that not even eye-candy on Pinterest is helping!

Sometimes I can figure out what's demotivating me, but I'm having a hard time putting my finger on it this time. My last block was really hard to work on and it's been harder and harder since then to work on things. I had the idea to crumb piece a block and make it really "crazy" inspired by "The Patchwork Girl Of Oz", since I've been reading through all the Oz books and love them, but I hated the results. Hopefully the pink and yellow rose inspiration will do the trick. Hmm, maybe it's color! I know I get energized seeing the bright colors in my garden, and my bright colored blocks are the ones that are making me happy, so maybe that is what was demotivating me. Also the color of the crumb pieced reject is what really put me off...it's anemic looking to me and just upsets me to look at it, I hate it, I need to throw it away and get it out of my workspace! HA! The only way I would do it again would be if I picked a rainbow of jewel toned colors, and in fancy fabrics too, that's how I "see" Scraps in my mind. She's bright and spunky and whimsical, and she's a bit crazy (of course being crazy patched) but very fun and has lots of energy. Hmmm, maybe I will work on this idea after all for next month. Scraps my not be able to drink tea with us, but she'd be a fun addition to the tea party! In Oz that never stopped the ones who didn't eat from hanging out with the meat people who need to eat at any dinner or feast. ;-) I could see myself doing a whole Oz series after reading so much about them. I'm almost done with the set, I just finished "The Lost Princess Of Oz" (in which Scraps is one of the main characters again) and started "The Tin Woodman Of Oz" after that there are only 2 books left. I think it's really neat reading Baum's letters in the intros of each book and in "The Tin Woodman Of Oz" he talks about how the Oz books are for all ages, the young and the young at heart.
It's funny because I didn't start reading the Oz books because of the movie or anything, in fact I never really cared for the old movie that much and I HATE the song that everyone loves, it's like nails on a chalk board to me kinda like the titanic song...HAHAHA ;-P Anyway the way I got into reading them was searching free books for Kindle and I read Baum's "The Sea Faries" and loved it and then when searching for more books everyone raved about the Oz series so I figured I would probably love those too. And I do. Then it just so happened that the new Oz movie came out in the midst of reading them! LOL I really loved the new Oz movie too. It may not be perfectly true to the books (they never are) but I loved it and all the nods to the books and I felt it was true to the spirit of Baum's Oz. I think he would have loved the movie! It's so neat how what once could only be seen in the imagination is now able to be put into movie form! I could see how now the ideas in the Oz books could be made into movies and really work! The porcelain girl was so cool looking in the movie! Wow! Ya, Baum would be impressed. Live, yet porcelain! So cool! I digress...LOL

Okay I better get to work if I have a hope of getting a block done this month! ;-) At least I'm feeling better to have talked about it! Thanks for read/listening!

Gotta love it when right as you are taking photos and have everything just right...wildlife lights upon that very spot! This is what's called a 'Hummingbird Moth'. Not a hummingbird but a moth, a large one that is mistaken for one when first seen, they hover and sip nectar too. LOL I even love how its wings are lit up...so cool!

I remember the first time we saw one of these we didn't know what in the world it was and tried and tried to get a photo of it to see what it was! They are really common here in the desert and they love all the nectar plants, and usually come out in droves in the evening! LOL Today I looked out my kitchen window and saw my yellow climbing rose all blooming...made me really happy! Gotta love that I got roses blooming in March!!!

These larger ones take more time to get done, they are like tatting 3 snowflakes in 1! LOL The bad thing is my fingers are really sensitive to the harsh thread so it's hard for me to just keep going till it's finished. I have to pace myself. I might need a shield for my other hand too for pulling rings closed. It's almost like tatting a doily! HAHAHA well it could be the start of a doily, they usually start with something like this and just keep going with rounds getting added. I still have never completed a whole doily! I still have my first and only one waiting for the last couple rounds to be added! LOL WOW could it really have been waiting since 2008? SHEESH!!! I will finish that thing!!! LOL I think what kept me back was all the chains to be done in the last rounds but now that I have my finger shields that shouldn't be too bad anymore.

I also added a hand charm and a sweetheart rose in its fingers.
I feel like this block could be finished. I will have to sit on it and see.

Ducks in a row. Last qualifying meeting, of many, was completed this morning. And at the meeting I was told that the unit I am to move into, was inspected by HUD this morning. A couple days ago I was told that I could move in once the place passed inspection. I was also earlier told that HUD would not be inspecting until Friday, or Monday.
That does put a fire under ya, wanting the process to hurry up, and finally finish, so I can move in.
I haven't had a place of my own since January of 2005.

Fast broadband gives firm global boost
Posted: August 20, 2014|
A DERBY animations firm has said that turbo-charged broadband is helping it compete with London rivals and retain major clients.
Boxframe, based in the Strand Arcade, is involved in Derby City Council's SuperConnected Derby project.
The increased bandwidth is helping the firm retain clients such as media giants Disney, Sky and the BBC.
It has also worked with world football governing body FIFA and Formula 1.
The business produces animated sequences for adverts and titles, meaning that it needs to transfer very large data files to its clients.
Managing director Kevin Cooney said: "Historically, we would upload the files on to a disk drive and have it sent by courier on a three-hour trip to London.
"This was costly and the extra time had to be factored into every project.
"We can now upload files that were previously too large to upload. Files that would normally take up to 10 hours to load now take as little as 30 minutes."
Superfast broadband has enabled Boxframe to reduce costs and have an advantage over those London-based competitors who still have to courier files across the capital, where the majority of the firm's clients are located.
Mr Cooney said: "This improved broadband service opens up a world of opportunities for Derby-based businesses.
"Instead of waiting days to receive a file, they can now get a file in a matter of minutes.
"It means I can hold video conferences with my clients all over the world, share files, make changes and connect with people on a global scale."
The SuperConnected Derby scheme is part of the city council's campaign to help businesses access superfast broadband.
Mr Cooney said: "You may not think you need better broadband straight away but we are moving at such a pace that this level of speed and data transfer will be the norm very quickly.
"This way of working makes us more attractive to other businesses on a global scale."
Mr Cooney's career in television began in 2000 when he worked on Transworld Sport, typing out tables for golf tournaments.
He went on to design and produce title sequences for the show.
Three years later he set up on his own and moved from London back to Derby, working on DVD menus and then animations for digital television channels such as ESPN and the Disney Channel.

Sydney funnel web spider
You wouldn't want to meet the Sydney funnel web spider on a dark night – or at any time of day, in fact. It might be minuscule, at just 1.5-3.5 cm long, but it has fangs longer than a brown snake's, and so powerful they can pierce toenails. Humans are more likely to encounter them than some of the other creatures on this list, as they are found in populated urban areas in New South Wales, wandering in gardens and sometimes dropping into swimming pools. Luckily, anti-venom was developed in 1981, and since then no fatalities have been recorded. It's still up there among the world's deadliest spiders, let alone Australia's.
Am I likely to meet one?
Steve Backshall: "This rivals the Brazilian wandering spider for title of most venomous on earth. They are generally rare and reclusive, and almost never seen in the city itself, but the bite is very unpleasant indeed. In all areas of Oz, shake out boots and clothing before putting them on, as spiders may seek shelter inside."Picture: GETTY

there are two comboboxes for jmaki - dojo.combobox and dojo.dijit.combobox.
dojo.combobox has limit of 30 options but it has smaller font and it takes less space on a browser.
dojo.dijit.combobox - has accepted 280 options but is has bigger font and it takes more space in a browser.
My question is: How can i romove that limit of 30 options from dojo.combobox?
I would suggest working with the fonts on the dojo.dijit.combobox. The dojo.combobox is based on Dojo 0.4.3 which is no longer supported. Short of going into the Dojo code it would be hard to fix the dojo.combobox.
For working with the fonts on the dojo.dijit.combobox you can use Firebug to find out what CSS classes are being used and override them in the component.htm or component.css for the given component.
I did a little playing arround and you can change the font size easy:
In the /dojo/dijit/combobox/component.htm add a font-size to the style like:
<span class="tundra" style="width: 300px;font-size:10px">
<select id="${uuid}">
This works, thanks.

It's sometimes helpful to use contrast to drive home a particular point. The
Star Trek
universe presents a uniform, utopian society, and it's easy to view problems such as racism as an abstraction when faced with the ideals and views of the Federation. The vision experienced by Sisko allows the audience to see the characters of
Deep Space 9
as they may have been had they lived in a world dominated by intolerance, a world that is still extremely relevant in our own society, unfortunately, for we are not as far removed from the problems of the early-to-mid-twentieth century.
The vision is made all the more powerful by the episode's conclusion, the scene in which Sisko is speaking with his father and offers the idea that perhaps
Deep Space 9
is the illusion- that Benny Russell dreams of the universe that Sisko and company live in- an idea that many who love
Star Trek
can relate to.
This. While there is certainly a lot of themes involving racism and xenophobia elsewhere involving alien races, I think this was also making a point specifically about humans, and to do that, it was helpful to set it in the past. Contrasting this with regular DS9 showed that humans had moved beyond that. Sisko's skin color is completely irrelevant on DS9, and that's the whole point: in the past, it would have been a big deal. (It's kind of like, I think it's the first eps of TNG where Q is talking about the savagery of the human species, and Picard tries to tell them how far humans have come.)
This issue is addressed in one of the holosuite/Vic Fontaine eps where Sisko tells Kassidy he refuses to go to Vic's because of the racism in that time period. Kassidy says it's an idealized version of the time, but that it doesn't mean they're forgetting about racism in the past. Still, Sisko's initial refusal shows that he feels, that by having fun in a cleaned-up version of the past, he's doing a disservice to the memory of all the people in the past who suffered because of racism.
Throw in Brooks' usual overwrought, I WILL E-NUN-SEE-ATE E-VERRR-REEE SILL-UH-BULL delivery and it is virtually unwatchable to me.
I think it's a pretty dull episode, and I agree with the OP. Not impressed with Avery Brook's embarrassingly bad over-acting on display in the episode either.
I can't stand it when he shouts, in this or any other episode. I have no problem with Avery Brooks otherwise, but his shouting annoys me so bad. "Iiiittt's Reeeaaaalll!"
Other than that, I thought it was a fun episode (though a bit preachy), I liked seeing a lot of the actors without makeup, and little funny things they said, like Dax talking about a story about a woman with a worm in her belly.

when the product hits the brush i clumps together making the product extremely streaky because of this you have to click way more times to build enough pressure to have it shoot out the tip so you can use it which helps loosen the brush.It does cover at all well and it goes on cakey.I had high hopes with the reviews on you tube but this stuff really is terrible and not worth the trouble it takes to get the product.
The clicking mechanism really doesn't function properly which i'm sure that i a large reason why this product doesn't work.

This is a really great concealer for me. The texture is smooth, creamy and easy to blend either with a brush or fingers. The pigmentation is very good-natural, good coverage but not to heavy. It does a good job concealing my undereye circles. Shade two is perfect for my NC25 skintone. It has a great peach undertone to it, which is rare to find in a drugstore concealer. Also, the peach undertone and shade two in general looks very similar on me as Bobbi Brown light peach corrector, its almost the same shade but light peach is a tad darker and of course the texture is different. It lasts all day on me and it creases only on this one small natural fold I have near my lower lash line, I don't have wrinkles. It doesn't crease at all if I set it with light powder afterwards. I also have shade one, which I use as a brow and cheekbone highlighter. Shade one is very pale, perfect for NC15 and lighter. It does not have a peach undertone and looks just very pale on me. I store this pen with a brush holder upside down and I haven't had the problem of unused product being stuck yet. I would imagine that if you always store it upside down it won't be a problem.

Scored this for 75% off at CVS. Was a little skeptical at first but I didn't have anything to lose at that price. It covers beautifully. Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Nothing more nothing less. The clicky thing takes forever to disperse the product.

I love this, HG concealer finally! I have hereditary dark circles so concealer is my only respite from them. It takes a while for the product to start oozing out the tip when you first buy it but be persistent. 5+ minutes of clicking but it is worth it. Afterward, it is easy to control how much product oozes out and it is easy to apply onto the skin (remember to blend it out with your fingertips or a soft brush). I quite like the consistency and creasing is minimal so long as you apply it carefully. I recommend swiping a finger out from beneath the lashline where creasing tends to happen to move excess product out of the danger zone, Otherwise set with a bit of translucent powder and you won't have any problems. It lasts well and blends well into foundation or bare skin but best of all I think it provides a good amount of coverage. It could be more pigmented but I am not complaining, it does a fantastic job considering its somewhat thin, gel-like consistency.

I love the shade of this concealer so much. I got it in medium and it is a very peachy shade which i think brightens my under eye soooo much. It is light/medium coverage so it won't conceal heavy dark circles. I didn't find this watery at all as I read in the other reviews. I think its very creamy and doesn't cake or crease. Loving it so far!

This is a sheer concealer so if you have acne scars and blemishes like me, you would not like this stuff. First of all, it's kind of a hefty penny for drugstore. I think I got this for more than $10. I expected to be amazing, but it's not. I have oily skin so with this stuff I had to constantly reapply the product every 2 hours? It got quite annoying especially when I don't like to touch up my makeup during the day. It has a sheen that I like that i use as a highlighter but other than that it's not a good product for me.

This concealer does not conceal. What is the purpose of this? On a positive note, it doesn't cake up after applying 20 layers. The color medium is a dark peachy pink hue comparable to the MAC foundation shade of NW30.

This concealer offers light coverage for dark circles and blemishes, the formula is on the watery side and it will not cover very dark circles or dramatic blemishes, and the formula does not last very long, I would say 4-5 hours top. However the formula does not cake and rarely creases, not bad if you are looking for light coverage but definitely not your pick if you are looking for full coverage and thicker/creamier formula.

Its too watery to cover. Not like YSL at all. I love the color on 04, I am NC40 and its a great yellow color but no it really doesnt cover.

I guess if you just need some light coverage this would do the trick. The color was a nice match to my skin, but that's about all I liked about it. It didn't do anything to help my under eye circles and barely even covered the couple of slight discoloration spots on my face. I really haven't been able to find a real use for it in my makeup bag, but I'll keep trying to work it in somehow now that I have it.

Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin star in fashion documentary 'God Save Our Shoes'.
BY Belinda White | 27 June 2011

The fashion world has more drama than an episode of The Only Way is Essex at the moment between the John Galliano trial , and designers from Armani, to Alaia bandying insults around at their peers .
Then of course there Is the ongoing battle between Christian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent over the latter's alleged plagiarism of the former's trademarked red sole.
High heels at dawn for Christian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent
So there should be no shortage of action in forthcoming fashion documentary God Save My Shoes which follows a handful of the world's top cobblers including Manolo Blahnik, Pierre Hardy and Mr Louboutin himself.
Set to debut at an event during Paris Fashion Week in September and on French TV channel Canal Plus TV, expect a fascinating insight into the ateliers of these legendary designers, and plenty of cameos from the famous ladies they service including Dita Von Teese, Fergie and Kelly Rowland.
Celebrities who love Christian Louboutin shoes
"Manolo's bustling energy was something, [and] seeing Christian Louboutin designing a shoe from beginning to end was quite exhilarating," the film's writer and director, Julie Benasra told WWD .
And what of the film's star in the making, the always-entertaining Mr Blahnik?
"I do rather enjoy talking in front of a camera, especially when the people interviewing me are amusing," he said.
Looks like God Save My Shoes is set to be a must-watch for fashion and footwear fans alike.
Manolo Blahnik: "Men say my shoes have saved marriages"

Gangsters Paradise - Coolio
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realise there's not much left
Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long that
Even my mamma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it....
Sorry, I almost got carried away by the song. Here I mean to say that although the underwater world is beautiful, there are always some ugly looking, nasty characters, nice looking, but carnivorous nudibranchs and things like that.
Top of the list will be the bad-teeth Moray Eel which can be seen almost every dive in tropic waters. Of course there are uglier fishes such as deepsea angler fishes and some sharks and rays.
Lionfish (Scorpion Fish) will be one of those popular venomous marine fishes and voracious predators in tropical waters. When they are hunting they corner prey using their large fins and then suck the prey down.
Stonefish is probably the most dangerous of known venomous fish and its venom causes severe pain with possible shock, paralysis, and tissue death depending on the depth of the penetration. Lets test you eye sight see whether you can outline the shape of the stonefish in one of the extra pictures?
Titan Triggerfish is probably the most hated fish by divers found in tropical water. The Titan Triggerfish can be very aggressive towards divers and snorkellers. Especially during reproduction season it is very territorial and will guard its nest, vigorously against any intruders. Due to its size and strong teeth it can inflict serious injury to divers or intruders to its nest. If you ever see Titan Triggerfish hover on top of sandy bottom, you're advice to dive down and away so that you will not swim into its invisible cone shaped territory set around its nest.
But the greatest underwater gangster none other than..

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU kicker Zane Gonzalez named Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week
Arizona State kicker Zane Gonzalez was named the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the team's 53-24 win over Washington Saturday.
Gonzalez was perfect, going four-for-four on field goal attempts, and added five extra points to total 17 points for the game. The freshman has made 11 straight field goals, bringing him up to 15-of-18 on the year, and ranks fifth nationally at 11.4 points per game.
Gonzalez also leads the Pac-12 and is second in the country with 2.1 field goals per game. He's the second Sun Devil to be named a Pac-12 Player of the Week this year, the previous being safety Alden Darby's honor following their game against USC.
Also recognized this week were Arizona running back Ka'Deem Carey and Stanford safety Jordan Richards. Carey had a school-record 40 carries, racking up 236 rushing yards and the game-winning touchdown as the Wildcats topped the Utah Utes in Tucson, Ariz. Richards had two interceptions and a team-high 10 tackles during Stanford's home victory over UCLA.

County Cork in five glorious sights
- Recommended for:
- Food and Drink, Short Break, Budget, Expensive, Mid-range
Beautiful beaches, stunning cliff walks and some fine traditional food are among the highlights of a visit to Cork, one of Ireland's real beauty spots
Tripe and drisheen at the English Market, Cork
There may be prettier sources of protein but when you see frills of tripe and drisheen, the smooth blood sausage, you know you're in Cork. Food has been bought and sold on the site of the English Market since 1788 and the current building, refurbished after fires in the 1980s, retains plenty of atmosphere. Old-fashioned offal and buttered eggs (preserved by rubbing with butter while they're still warm) are a much-loved part of the furniture, as is the FarmGate Cafe, the restaurant up on the balcony. It's the perfect place to get your bearings and try some cooked-from-the-heart dishes using produce from the stalls below - but be prepared to queue. Back downstairs, less traditional stalls offer great bread, olives and continental curiosities, and Mr Bell's is still a favourite source of Asian ingredients, though local supermarkets have long since caught up with demand.
Bobbing boats in Kinsale harbour
Kinsale has a strong cultural life, more rugby than you can shake a mouthguard at and forts agogo, but it wouldn't be the same without the boats. On the Bandon river estuary, Kinsale is both commercial port and pleasure ground, and in summer it can feel like more visitors have arrived by water than by road, despite the town's proximity to Cork city. Not everyone enjoys the company of the 'yachties', but the summer population boosts the foodie culture that's led to Kinsale being declared the gourmet capital of Ireland. That might be going a bit far, but there's plenty of fresh fish and seafood about, and one of the best places to try it is the Fishy Fishy Cafe, where they know the fishermen by name and you can eat outside, looking out over the water.
The lighthouse at Ballycotton Bay
East Cork doesn't have the headline-grabbing beauty of the far southwest, but Ballycotton is a spectacular surprise at the end of a long drive coastwards. The cliff path from this quietly likeable old fishing village extends to Ballytrasna, five miles away but you don't need to walk that far for fantastic views to the lighthouse, set in perfect coastal style on a small green island. The walk is rough in windy weather but you can descend into a tiny cove for a bit of shelter. Back up high, it's a birdwatcher's paradise, with 300 species using the habitat. Once a year, there's another inspiring sight: hordes of wiry runners battling with a classic road race distance in the Ballycotton 10. If you see an athlete in the pub, buy them a pint.
Mizen Head
Ireland's most southwesterly point has a dramatic history and a great deal of natural presence. Wandering the visitor centre should really be regarded as a chance to learn all about the fog signal station, the Fastnet rock and Guglielmo Marconi's attempts to send a radio signal across the Atlantic. You might also be looking forward to a spot of dolphin and seabird-watching. But anyone in trepidation about heights, crashing waves, huge rocks or a combination of all three will have only one thing on their mind: the bridge. Finished in 1910, it connects the island to the mainland 150 ft above sea level and can be, plainly, terrifying. Still, there's a great view if you make it.
Inchydoney beach
The traditional Christmas morning swim might be excessive but when the sun shines, Inchydoney beach has the blue-and-gold allure of warmer coastal spots. A fat band of pale sand hugs the island, which is connected via a causeway to the mainland, and its Blue Cross status reassures those who fancy dipping a toe – or a surf board – into the water. The poshest way to enjoy the sea is from a balcony at the Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa, recently refurbished and stuffed full of plush, contemporary soft furnishings. It seems a shame to get wet while avoiding the beach, but the thalassotherapy pool is a potentially warmer prospect.

Bored of the Holidays Already? Knit Your Own 'The Killing' Sweater!
Pay attention all you 'Killing' fans who are stuffed to the gills with turkey and want nothing more than to wrap yourself in comfy knitwear and sit sour-faced in front of the TV for the rest of the weekend: You can now do it Sarah Lund/Linden-style.
Whether you want to buy their sweaters from the Faroe Islands, or knit them yourself, we guarantee that all will be revealed after the jump.
AMC Addresses 'The Killing' Controversy, Plus Five Myths About the Show That Make Me Crazy
But during the AMC panel this morning at the Television Critics Association press tour, which is taking place this week and next in Los Angeles, AMC executive Joel Stillerman also addressed the heated reaction to the network's crime drama, 'The Killing.'
"The major takeaway for us after the finale of 'The Killing' starts with the headline that, for everybody who was frustrated, we hear you," said Stillerman, AMC's senior vice president of original programming.
Stillerman said that the network's mistake with the show was to imply that the mystery would be solved in the first season.
'The Killing' Season 1 Finale Recap
Below are my thoughts on the Season 1 finale of 'The Killing.' You might say that I have many thoughts about it.
But don't read on unless you've seen the final episode of the season.
A Video Peek at the Season Finale of 'The Killing'
Will the AMC murder mystery stick the landing? Check back here after midnight ET Sunday to find out what I thought of 'The Killing's' season finale -- I'll try to get that recap posted as quickly as I can after the final episode of Season 1 airs.
Until then, we've got a clip from 'The Killing''s Season 1 swan song:
'Big Love's' Mireille Enos to Make a 'Killing'
Based on the Danish series 'Forbrydelsen,' 'The Killing' tracks three different storylines after the murder of a young Seattle girl: the detectives on the case; the grieving parents; and the murder suspects. Enos will play Sarah, the lead homicide detective on the investigation. She will join the already-cast Billy Campbell ('Once and Again'), as city council president and mayoral hopeful Darren Richmond, and Michelle Forbes ('True Blood') and Brent Sexton ('In the Valley of Elah') as the victim's parents.
TV Casting: John Salley to Guest on 'HawthoRNe'
More casting news after the jump.
Billy Campbell Joins AMC's 'The Killing'
AMC is getting even more serious about original programming, particularly in the wake of the success of 'Breaking Bad' and 'Mad Men.' First the network greenlit a full season for the television adaptation of 'The Walking Dead,' and now they've cast Billy Campbell in the lead of their new series pilot about an investigation into the murder of a young girl titled 'The Killing.'
'The Killing' actually sounds far more interesting than that brief description, as the police end up investigating three interlocking stories that led to the murder. If 'The Killing' ends up becoming a series, it could be about season-long, very complex series of crime investigations, like a really long episode of 'CSI.'
All of this is speculation as the series is currently only slated for a pilot. The possibility of a series is up in the air and if it comes down to either this show or 'The Walking Dead,' I would go with the latter.

I'm looking to start building a new XC bike and I'm wondering which would be the better frame to start with. A Felt Virtue 2($450) or a 2008 Banshee Pyre ($550). I mostly ride singletrack with medium/hard difficulty trails with a variety of debris. Suggestions anyone? Should I look for a completely different frame?

The former fifth-round Draft pick did more than just that, slugging two homers with six RBIs and five runs scored in the Class A Suns' 16-8 rout of the Lexington Legends.
"I don't know the last time I had a game like this," Martinson said. "I think I hit two home runs when we had a scout day in my junior year of college, or maybe when I hit for the cycle in college, but that's it."
Bumped up a notch from the No. 2 spot in the order with Goodwin on the seven-day DL with a leg injury, Martinson walked and scored in the first frame, and he slugged an opposite-field grand slam over the right-field wall in the second.
"I was just trying to slow things down at the plate, put the ball in play and get that runner home from third," the 23-year-old said. "I chased two pitches out of the zone, but [Carlos Quevedo] left a fastball a little bit over the plate and I was able to square it up. I wasn't really sitting on anything. Down 0-2, I was swinging at anything close."
The shortstop then ripped a two-bagger to center field in the fourth before hammering his second longball of the game, a two-run shot, in the bottom of the sixth.
The blast gave Martinson his first multi-homer game in his three-year pro career. It also helped him eclipse his previous best of four RBIs, set on Aug. 28, 2010 with the short-season Vermont Lake Monsters and replicated last July 18 with the Suns.
"We were up in the game, so I was basically looking for a pitch in my zone to hit," the Texas native said. "He threw me two balls so I knew he needed to get back in the count. I got a pitch in the middle of the zone and slightly down so I went and got it."
In the eighth, Martinson induced a walk from incoming pitcher Scott Zuloaga and scored his fifth run on Brett Newsome's grand slam. Newsome had entered the game an inning earlier as a defensive replacement at first base.
"Some guys were joking about a third [home run], but I just wanted to keep the same approach that I had been using all game," Martinson said. "I was satisfied with what I had already done, and I didn't want to give away an at-bat just trying to hit another one."
Martinson's performance followed a three-strikeout night in Game 1 of the series against Lexington on Monday. He made a few small adjustments in the box and says the changes made a big difference.
"Today I changed my stance and got my hands up," he explained. "Yesterday I had a lot of movement and I wasn't picking up the pitches that quickly. I tried to close my stance to cut down on that movement, and that let me get set a lot earlier.
"When Brian [Goodwin] went down, I got bumped up to the leadoff spot, so it was important for me to get on base and get innings started."
Martinson is batting .381 with eight RBIs and 13 runs scored through the first six games of the season in his return to the South Atlantic League.
Last year, the Texas State product hit .252 with 19 homers, 64 RBIs and 64 runs in 129 appearances.
On Tuesday, Martinson's offensive output made a winner out of Suns starter Wirkin Estevez. The right-hander gave up four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven batters in five innings.
Left fielder J.P. Ramirez, batting in the No. 2 spot, was 4-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI and catcher Adrian Nieto had three hits and fell a triple shy of the cycle.
Lexington starter Quevedo (0-1) surrendered seven runs on eight hits and a walk over three innings. Zachary Johnson homered, doubled and plated three and first baseman Tyler Burnett also went deep in the loss.

Location was not very far from the convention center. It's not the nicest hotel I've ever been in but it gets the job done.
Not a great looking hotel, but it gets the job done.
Since I booked it the previous day, it's the cheapest one with reasonable distance to D.C. downtown.
The only toiletries provided are soap, towels and papar towels.
I stayed here while visiting DC for leisure. It's good for the money, considering it is at least half the price of most hotels you'll get closer to DC. It's also within walking distance (albeit a long walk) from the Metro. Everything was clean enough. Don't expect fancy, but it has the basics. Also on my last day there, they offered me free luggage storage because my flight was later in the day.
Alexandria is a weird place. Some areas seem nice, others a bit shady. Walking to the Metro, you'll see a mix of nice condos and low-end apartments. Also the walk to the Metro is a good 15-20 minutes, and it takes another 20 minutes on the Metro to get into DC.
Beside the water it was quite.
We stayed for three nights the first night we were up all night due to water running in the bathtub. It was so heavy we could hear it through the closed door. When I asked them to fix it they decided it would be easier for them to move us but we had to move right then (we were on our way out for the day. Luckily we were not on a tight schedule!) When I went to transfer our things the maid was cleaning the room we were being moved to. When I went to tell the front desk and ask if we could move later I was told no. Go tell her you are moving now and do it. I was not about to interfere with the maid, her job is a lot harder than the front desk! And why was I supposed to tell her we were moving rooms? Isn't that the job of the front desk? When I got back to the room to ask the maid if I could move ( and very embarrassed about it btw) the mantenience man was there arguing with the maid about us moving over. When it was over I asked if it was ok if I moved our stuff while she was cleaning (my family is waiting in the car) she said no. I had to wait until she was finished. Thankfully, she was almost finished so by the time I got our things gathered I was able to move it all over to the new room. The maid asked me why we were moving and I told her about the water she exclaimed, "I told them about that yesterday." Excuse me? They knew before they put us in the room and didn't do anything about it? The rest of the stay was okay until we were leaving our room to check out. The door handle literally fell off when we went to open the door. Nice.
Close proximity to Old Town Alexandria and metro accessible.
Rooms open directly outside.

Zero Tolerance Policing

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreWhat is policing about and who defines it? This book examines these key issues by exploring the notion of zero tolerance and its application in different settings. Following its introduction in New York, and the seemingly dramatic reduction in crime, zero tolerance policing was taken up in a number of other countries, including the UK and the Netherlands. This book examines that process.It argues that this policy was, in fact, nothing more than a return to old-style, crime control policing. While it did foster the swift analysis of crime patterns and more assertive policing of public places, it could lean towards repression and demonising of certain groups. Examining the EEEExamining the negative response of leading police officers and the policy's debatable impact on crime, the author concludes that zero tolerance in the UK and Netherlands was more of a populist political and media creation than a coherent policy. This book is far more than an authoritative analysis of zero tolerance. It is a valuable source for entering the debate about the big picture in policing which many stakeholders now wish to see. The approachable style of this book makes it ideal for students, academics, police practitioners and the lay reader to enter that debate. less

So Confused About This All. Wanna Help A N00b?

so I have NO CLUE what I'm doing.
I just got an XBOX 360S for christmas, and I have a bunch of games. I already broke 1 game disk, and I want to back up my library so I can protect my investments.
So my question is-
Is there any new guide / relevant walkthrough on what my options are with ModChips or ODD (I'm not quite sure what an ODD is...) and how to backup and burn my legally owned games? Or can you guys just advise me on what to do?
I've modded and softmodded my Wii like 3 years ago. But I can't solder. At all.
I <3 Microsoft, and I don't want to pirate. That's bad. I just don't want to but the same game multiple times because my ******* sister decided to play frizzbee with my Kinect sports. Not the game, the disk. LOL
Posted 01 January 2012 - 04:22 AM
You might or might not be able to backup your collection. It depends on which DVD-ROM your console has. After you find that out, you can look into Optical Disc Drive Emulators like the xk3y, BoxZii, Wasabi, etc. If you want to flash your DVD-ROM (presuming it's flashable at this point), you can also do that. Check out the JungleFlasher tutorial for information. (Google is your friend.)
Posted 01 January 2012 - 04:36 AM
What's the difference between using an ODDE vs flashing my Drive?
And how do I find out what drive I have?
And how do I find out what drive I have?
Posted 01 January 2012 - 04:49 AM
Flashing your drive will require making physical backups of the discs. ODDEs require just ripping the discs and storing the images on an external drive.
If you check the manufacture date/lot, you'll probably be able to guess what DVD drive the console has. This thread at Team-Xecuter is somewhat accurate.

Whitney Houston Remembered at Clive Davis' Annual Pre-Grammy Gala On Anniversary of Her Death
Gone, but not forgotten. Whitney Houston's memory was honored at Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammys gala on Saturday, Feb. 9 almost exactly one year after the iconic singer's untimely death on Feb. 11, 2012.
Houston's brother Gary and sister-in-law Pat Houston joined the who's-who-in-music fete, though Houston's mother, Cissy Houston, opted to steer clear of the event (in an interview with Access Hollywood last week, the elder Houston called Davis' invitation "the most obscene thing").
PHOTOS: Grammys 2013: Best-dressed stars
After introducing Gary and Pat, music producer Davis then showed some rarely seen footage of his protege performing for the troops, singing "All the Man That I Need."
"I've chosen one video that isn't seen much and you'll see why Whitney Houston is the greatest contemporary singer of our lifetime," Davis prefaced the clip, an insider tells Us Weekly.
The late singer was found unresponsive in the bathtub of her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton -- the same venue where the gala was set to take place -- a few hours prior to Davis' fete, having drowned after taking a lethal mix of prescription drugs. She was 48.
PHOTOS: Most shocking celebrity deaths of all time
Learning of Houston's death hours earlier, Davis initially canceled his pre-Grammys party, but he later moved forward with the bash. The music executive is credited for bringing the "Greatest Love of All" singer to prominence in the 80s after discovering her in NYC when she was just 19 years old.
This year, rather than being a mournful affair, however, Davis managed to keep his gala positive, and bold-faced names like Miley Cyrus, John Legend, John Mayer and Katy Perry mixed and mingled happily at the annual music event.
PHOTOS: Whitney Houston's life remembered
A wide range of artists provided the music for the three-hour bash, including DJ Afrojack spinning David Guetta's "Titanium" and Usher's performance of "U Got It Bad" and "Climax."
Best R&B Song winner Miguel also took to the stage with his sultry tracks "Sure Thing" and "Adorn," and Jennifer Hudson, Emeli Sande and Gladys Knight closed out the evening with a series of powerful ballads and fun dance hits.

BASEL, Switzerland, February 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Synosia Therapeutics today announced the appointment of Philippe Lutz MA Finance, as the company's first chief financial officer, effective immediately. He will be based at Synosia's new headquarters in Basel, Switzerland.
Lutz joins Synosia from Credit Suisse Investment Banking where he most recently served as a vice president of the global markets solutions group. In a nine-year career at Credit Suisse, he contributed to a broad range of capital market transactions and successfully completed the chartered financial analyst exams (CFA). Lutz is a Swiss national and earned his masters in business administration from the University of St. Gallen.
"Since Synosia started operations just over two years ago, we've established partnerships with Roche, Novartis and Syngenta, designed and completed our first clinical trial, prepared to start four phase II trials later this year, and built strong teams in both San Francisco and Basel," said the company's Chief Executive Officer and President Ian Massey.
"The establishment of our corporate headquarters in Switzerland and the appointment of Philippe Lutz is a further step in our progression to a mature development organization; it also underscores the importance of Switzerland as a centre of excellence for the management, clinical development and extension of our portfolio of compounds," Dr Massey continued.
