Kathy Griffin: Jon Hamm is a Drunk Douche Bag!
Well, here's a feud we never would have seen coming.
For seven seasons, Jon Hamm memorably portrayed the world-beating alcoholic womanizer Don Draper on Mad Men.
Now, if a new memoir from comedian Kathy Griffin is to be believed, it seems Hamm spent plenty of time researching the part during his own rise to the top.
In the book, Celebrity Run-Ins: My A-Z Index, Griffin recalls a difficult encounter with a drunk-ass Hamm at a dinner party attended by such A-list luminaries as Jack Nicholson.
It seems Hamm had recently broken up with Jennifer Westfeldt and proceeded to "celebrate" his return to the single life by getting absolutely sh-tfaced and heaping verbal abuse on poor Kathy.
Griffin says that Hamm went straight from a day on set at Mad Men to the evening soiree thrown by talent agent Sue Menger, and he wasted no time playing catch up and then exceeding everyone else's beverage intake by a considerable margin.
"He proceeded to get very drunk during the coffee table portion, and then when it came for dinner, Sue had sat him next to me," Griffin writes.
Griffin says she tried to carry on a conversation with Nicholson, but that Hamm continually interrupted with his "boozy yammering."
According to Griffin, Hamm didn't take her attempts to ignore him very well and he eventually resorted to berating her for his own amusement:
"First it was, 'You know your Emmy isn't a real Emmy,'" Griffin claims.
"I let that one go, but then he whispered, 'You're so o-o-o-old.'"
Griffin insists that wasn't so much Hamm's "cruel comments" that got her goat so much as it was his "horrible timing" in interrupting her conversation with Nicholson.
"You can't keep up. You're outclassed," she reportedly snapped back.
"Now zip it; Jack's talking!"
Hamm checked himself into rehab for alcohol abuse last year, and he reportedly hasn't touched a drop since, so we imagine being publicly reminded of (what we hope is) his very worst behavior is especially painful.
That said, you run a big risk when you try to match wits with someone as sharp-tongued as Kathy (especially when you're half in the bag at the time).
The comedian has a reputation for speaking truth to power, and it seems she's pulling no punches in her description of Hamm.
"He's one of these hot guys who's mildly funny but actually thinks he's comedian level funny," she writes.
"You know the type — there's probably one in your office or family. He just reeks of that. It's an entitled air. When Hammy wants to be funny, he's, well, not."
Hey, at least he'll always have his giant dong.
That'll get him through.

ODM nominated Member of Parliament Isaac Mwaura was once a student at Kenyatta University, studying under difficult circumstances.
During that time, he was broke like a church mouse,and every lunch and supper he was operating on beans plus Ugali or Ndengu plus Chapati Moja.
He was weighing exactly 45Kgs due to lack of money to boost his weight.
Raila Odinga, who has fed many families through sympathy, nominated him in 2013 because he is an Albino, who is placed under special groups category.
Today, Mwaura weighs more than 80kgs,he drives a Toyota V8.
He also married using his salary as an MP.But despite all the blessings, the particular Mwaura gathered courage to tell Raila that "he sleeps on graves to win elections".
To Raila,'Tenda wema nenda zako' can be manifested here!

The Muslim Brotherhood's spiritual leader Mohammed Badie has been arrested in Cairo, Egyptian officials said today.
Reports said he was detained at a flat in Nasr City and images of Mr Badie, who is the Islamist movement's General Guide, were shown on a private TV channel shortly after the arrest.
Interior minister Mohamed Ibrahim said he was arrested in the early hours today. The Facebook page of the interior ministry showed a picture of Mr Badie, 70, with dark rings under his eyes, sitting in a car between two men in black body armour.
It comes days after his son, Ammar Badie, 38, was shot dead during protests in Cairo's Ramses Square.
Egypt is in a state of emergency after days of bloodshed in which almost 900 people, including more than 100 police and soldiers, are reported to have been killed. The violence erupted when the ruling military started to clear protest camps set up by supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, many of them members of the Brotherhood.
Mr Badie had been on the run since last week and hundreds of other members of his movement have been detained. He faces charges of inciting violence and murder over the killing of eight anti-Brotherhood protesters outside the movement's HQ last June.
Three days of mourning are being held for 25 police killed in Sinai yesterday by suspected Islamist extremists.

CHF BC Gets a New Look!
CHF BC has been serving member housing co-ops since 1982. For almost 35 years we've sought to be the go-to hub for developing and strengthening community with responsive services, easy-to-access advice and committed advocacy for our members. Even as our core values have remained constant, CHF BC has grown to reflect changing circumstances.
Operating agreements are ending, co-ops are undergoing renovations, and there is real opportunity for renewed co-op sector growth. We thought it was a good time to look at our visual identity.
We began the process thinking about how we've already evolved, because the federation's branding has changed from its earliest days to the present:
We wanted to really reflect who are members are now and where they're going, why the federation wants to inspire people to live in thriving co-operative communities, and how it wants to help them get there. After discussion (and some design assistance), we reached our goal and are happy to share our new look:

My daughter just called from Chicago to report her Malt has begun licking her leg a while back. She was at the vet for another reason and the vet said no worries. Now, a while later the spot has become bald and red. I know my herk once had a "hot spot" and I had a spray (can't remember where I got it). Is there anything she can buy over the counter to help her pup, or should she go straight back to the vet? thanks for your thoughts. mary anna herk and theena |

My dd has had bad atopic dermatitis for 4 years and i use raw coconut oil - get nutiva from whole foods and put it on the spot. It is safe to lick and very healing and it heals fast - the safest thing i have found and i think i own about 20 vet shampoos that only made her worse and do not use tea tree oil as that is not safe and is absorbed in the skin
Coconut oil is a natural antibacterial and antifungal and that is why it is in so many things for skin

My Daisy's skin was the worst I had ever seen.
Vet even doubted the hair would grow back. Skin was sooo thick, and damaged. My employee told me his Pitbull had terrible hotspots, and his grandma recommended olive oil. After all he's tried, that worked. So yep, I gave it a shot. That, along with, a vitamin E/Aloe cream, I applied all over her body. Wow, she was awesome in no time. Here's before/after pics of my girl.

i read that olive oil helps with demodex mange as it kills the mites. Just like oil in a pool kills mosquito larvae. My friends dog almost died as dermatologist mixed ketoconozole and ivermectin for demodex mange and it caused her to go into a coma as the keto allowed the ivermectin to break the blood barrier wall and go straight to the brain as that is how ivermectin kills the mite. I learned the olive oil is much safer for sure
Your baby looks great and yes i agree vitamin E and aloe are great as well as they are very healing to the skin -- I used pure aloe from plant before but not the vitamin e but the raw coconut oil is a miracle and many use on allergy group -- all are good sources. Another thing that is very healing is calendula but not sure about an area that can be licked - it is good for burns and itchy spots and heals great -- at whole foods they have califlora which is great deb w QUOTE (3Maltmom @ Dec 17 2008, 12:03 AM) Quote:

I'm certainly going to check on the raw coconut oil.
My Daisy has since passed. But wow, did I learn so much from her. Little Ella has one hotspot left, on the rear of her back. So will look into the coconut oil for that.

I ordered her a spray bottle of dermacool on line because that's what I was given by the vet once. But we will try olive and or coconut oil as well. She's bringing her fluff here to Florida from Chicago for Christmas so we agreed it she doesn't see any improvement by the 22nd, we'll take her to my vet. oh yeah, and she bringing her FIANCE home too!!! mary anna herk and theena |

Ten: The New Wave
Published by Bloodaxe Books
Ten: the new wave presents poetry from some of the most exciting new poets in Britain today.
These ten poets were selected for The Complete Works 2 mentoring project, a groundbreaking initiative to promote diversity and quality in British poetry, initiated by the writer Bernardine Evaristo. The poets follow on from the first group to take part in this scheme, whose work was published in Bernardine Evaristo and Daljit Nagra's anthology Ten: new poets from Spread the Word (2010). Most of those poets have gone on to win awards and have their poetry collections published.
The new poets in this anthology are Mona Arshi, Jay Bernard, Kayo Chingonyi, Rishi Dastidar, Edward Doegar, Inua Ellams, Sarah Howe, Adam Lowe, Eileen Pun and Warsan Shire. These poets have backgrounds in Asia, Europe, the Caribbean and Africa, and their work draws on their multicultural heritage and tapestry. Many of them also work across art forms and have enjoyed success as playwrights, graphic artists and even in the martial arts.
Talented, adventurous and culturally rich, these poets will open up new landscapes for the reader.
'These ten exciting poets record with confidence and vigour a tune rarely heard on these shores and this collection of their work is a boost to the body of contemporary British poetry' - Carol Ann Duffy.
The project is directed by Dr Nathalie Teitler, with thanks to Arts Council England for their generous funding.

G&L Superhawk Jerry Cantrell Signature Model Electric Guitar

45 day price guarantee, 45 day return policy, 100% secure shopping
A hard-charging model equipped with twin 'buckers.
Twenty-something years ago, Jerry Cantrell bought his first G&L Rampage while working at a Dallas music store, and he still rocks 'em hard today. But what Jerry didn't discover at the time was the G&L Superhawk, a hard-charging model like the Rampage equipped with twin 'buckers. That's changed and so will rock history.
It's been well over two decades since a G&L Superhawk was last produced. Now G&L is proud to announce the launch of the Superhawk Jerry Cantrell Signature Model, available in two USA-made versions as well as a surprisingly affordable G&L Tribute Series version.
This Superhawk starts out with the same soft maple body and fast-playing hard rock maple neck with ebony fingerboard as the Rampage. It even shares the same Seymour Duncan JB pickup in the bridge position, but adds a Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck position as well as a 3-position pickup selector and tone control with push/pull coil split. The Rampage's Kahler bridge is swapped for a G&L Saddle Lock bridge for improved comfort, stronger sustain and rock-solid tuning stability. This axe is all about capturing the Jerry Cantrell feel while offering more tonal versatility.
- Bolt-on construction
- 25-1/2" scale
- Seymour Duncan '59 humbucker in neck position, Seymour Duncan JB humbucker in bridge positon
- Soft maple body
- Hard-rock maple with ebony fingerboard
- Clear satin back neck finish with color matched headstock
- G&L custom neck profile with 14" radius and 1-3/4" nut width
- 100% natural bone nut
- 22 medium jumbo frets, nickel, Plek dressed
- 12:1 ratio, sealed-back tuners
- G&L Saddle Lock with chrome-plated brass saddles
- 3-position pickup selector, volume, tone
Jerry Cantrell's been rocking out for years. Now it's your turn to do the same. Order today.

Western Alaskan Teams Compete in 1A High School Basketball State Championships
Led by senior Kiah Charlie, the Scammon Bay Eagles finished out a perfect season on top of clinching the championship. Gambell fell 39-79 to the Ninilchik Wolverines.
Led by senior Kiah Charlie, the Scammon Bay Eagles finished out a perfect season on top of clinching the championship. Gambell fell 39-79 to the Ninilchik Wolverines.
An assistance center is open in Savoonga to bring state aid to residents whose homes were damaged by the latest Bering Sea storm.
Governor Walker's disaster declaration will give nearly $3 million to Savoonga and Gambell to repair damage left from late 2016 winter storms.
Gambell's Rodney Ungwiluk spoke with KNOM's Elder Voices in 2009, sharing stories of his life on St. Lawrence Island.
Preliminary reports suggest that St. Lawrence Island communities Gambell and Savoonga may have suffered different degrees of damage from this weekend's storms.
The blizzard currently battering western Alaska is but the first of two storm systems to affect the region this weekend, the National Weather Service says. The second is projected to arrive New Year's Eve.
Along with 6-12 inches of new snow, severe winds, and whiteout conditions, a blizzard coming to Western Alaska may "mobilize" chunks of Bering Sea ice and lead to coastal flooding.
Ora Gologergen was born in Gambell in 1916. Hear tales of her childhood from stories she shared during her 2008 interview in Savoonga.
Many of them had never left St. Lawrence Island. That is, until they were competing in the finals of an international academic competition.

Things I liked: Wood grip and pump lever Really like how heavy it is
Things I would have changed: Rear site is a bit cheap and tough to adjust. I gave accuracy only three stars because of that site. I'm sure once I get the site where it needs to be it'll be quite repeatable.

Things I liked: Well built benjamin quality, shoots good. I have the model 132 circa 1966 model still shoots good and holds air very well. I like the wood on the new model.
Things I would have changed: The sites aren't the best, hard to shoot accurately , need to be upgraded otherwise great pistol. The price is kind of high for this pistol.
What others should know: Just remember to store with a pump in it.

Things I liked: Very well built gun with high quality wood grips and stock. Trigger isn't bad and weight is very well balanced.
Things I would have changed: The rear sight is terrible and shoots about three inches to the left out of the box. No wind age adjustment whatsoever. This is sad because this is such a great gun otherwise. I have owned two of these and both had the same problem. Ii am going to buy a red dot sight and inter mount to try to remedy the issue with the windage.
What others should know: Do not buy this gun unless you plan on replacing the rear sight with an optical unit. No aftermarket rear sights are available for this gun.

Fishing has been good over the past several months but it is nice to have superb day once in a while as last Saturday(7 hours) was. I fished 19 locations from my boat and 14 spots had fish present. I landed fish at 10 of those locations. At 5 locations 2-5 fish were landed and I would spend 10 to 20 minutes fishing these spots. At the other locations I would usually fish a couple of minutes up to about 10 minutes. I normally don't dilly-dally around at a location since I try to cover a lot of water in a day of fishing. I enjoy immensely the excitment/challenge of the hunt and seek aspects of the Puget Sound fly fisheries. Most of the fish landed were sea-run cutthroat with quite a few fish in the 14-17" range. Almost all of the fish were caught while skating a floating tube sand lance pattern. It appears that the sea-run cutthroat are not as scattered as they were over the last month or so. As noted above there were 5 locations where there were quite a few sea-run cutthroat present. Also, I noted more sand lance on Saturday than I have seen for a while. This food source should be available to the sea-run cutthroat until early/mid Nov. when the sand lance hibernate for the winter by burying themselves into sandy bottom areas until mid Feb. I landed a handful of 12-13" of resident coho on the top water pattern. These fish are extremely aggressive and I have been seeing/landing a lot of them the last 1 1/2 months. This bodes will for a good winter/spring resident coho fisheries if they stick around. Maybe a good resident coho this winter will make up for the poor one last winter. These resident coho were released late May/early June and were 6-7" in length. They are now in the 11-13" size range and have been growing about 1" per month as these resident coho have been feasting on sand lance. The day ended well as I landed a 4 lb. 23" blackmouth. I have to admit that it was a fluke as I was fishing mid-day with the sun out for sea-run cutthroat on a shallow shelf(7-8 ft deep). A large fish twice chased the floating tube sand lance pattern but would not take it. So I grabbed my other rod with an fast full sinking line and a sequin tube clouser minnow(olive/white) and the blackmouth proceeded to clobber it within a couple of casts. It was a pretty good load on a 6 wt. rod as blackmouth are normally a lot stronger fish than a compareable size coho. It had 1 partially digested anchovy in it's stomach. Roger
Roger - What a day! I fished the canal today and found some fish, but had a ton of follows while fishing a popper by some good size fish, however, no take . I've searched for a while on the site to find the floating tube sand lance, but can't find a picture. Anyway you can post one or direct me in the right direction? Thanks, Scott
I'll have to agree Roger, it's been very good here in the north sound as well. Hit my favorite beach on this Saturday's in coming tide. It was pretty steady for the last two hours, lots of the usual followers and misses with many of them in the 12 to 14" range. Had one long distance release with a cutt that could have gone 18" to 19". Lots of bait around but couldn't get the cutts to come up to the floating Sand Lance this time (unlike the week before) so the top producer again for me was the Flat Wing Lance.
Scott: I don't have a picture of the F.T.(floating tube)Sand Lance pattern. however, there is a picture and materials list on page 141 of Les Johnson's newest book: "Fly-Fishing for Pacific Salmon II". If you have don't have it, the book is well worth purchasing. I now use artic fox tail unstead of darlon for the tail of pattern since the artic fox gives a better slender/tappered profile like a sand lance. Plus, it doesn't tangle around the hook like darlon did quit frequently. If you have any questions about tying the pattern, send me a PM and I'll try to help you out. Roger
Double-D: At times I have had the same experience as you when sea-run cutthroat will not really commit to take a floating sand lance pattern. This situation has usually occurred where there was not much tidal current(less than 1/2 to 1 mph). IHMO the best way to successfully fish a floating sand lance pattern is to have it skate quickly across the water surface. With that in mind, I have had good hook-up ratios(30 to 40%) when I can fish the pattern in that manner. Therefore, I am always looking for locations with optimum tidal current 1 1/2 to 2 mph(slow walking speed). I will cast the pattern 45 to 75 degrees across the current and skate it with the current by using long, moderate strips for the retrieve. When the pattern is almost down current, I will use short, quick strips. When the pattern is being skated quickly, fish don't have much of a chance to dilly-dally around. They will usually hit it aggressively before the "meal" gets away. Roger
Thanks for the input Roger thats good information. I have also observed this in the faster currents and sometimes it seems you can't strip it fast enough. With good tides this morning I was hoping to get out with my sons but with the wind and rain I decided it would be better off staying in and tying up some for the next trip out.
Thanks for another great report containing interesting and useful info, Roger. Ha, last time I was up a tidal creek for cutts, i thought I was finished fishing a pool, and whipped and thrashed my fly on the surface to get rid of some gunk hanging on the hook. I was really whipping it across the surface and a 12" cutt came out of the stained depths, jumping and ripping after it! I was "skating" my fly too fast for the little demon to catch it, though.
Roger, I've been seeing a lot of those 11-13 inch rezzies from my infrequent trips to the beach as well. Bodes well.
I do have a recent picture of my boat, since I'm donating a trip in the south sound for the SSFF auction next week. You can be perfectly happy with something lighter in weight with a 20-25 hp, but the common threads are: around 15', four stroke motor, low free board, no top , bow anchor and the electric motor on the stern for sneaking up on coho, or assisting the 18# mushroom anchor to hold in really fast current. The pluses are the gps, vhf radio for safety, and the long handled measure net. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, Dorothy
Gotta love those Whalers, nice salt boat Freedon. I'll post a picture of my cutt boat when I get a chance.

What is Labour?
Labour and delivery are demarcated by the end of the pregnancy when a woman delivers the child or more than one child and it leaves the uterus. Normally, the gestation period for humans is somewhere around 37 weeks to 42 weeks. In most developed countries, the deliveries happen in hospitals, where as in developing as well as under developed countries, births happen at home under the supervision of traditional birth attendant, called the midwife.
Stages of Labour:
Vaginal delivery is the most common form of childbirth. Labour consists of three stages
- The opening and shortening of the cervix: Lasts from 12 to 19 hours
- Coming down of the baby and its birth: 20 minutes to 2 hours
- Expulsion of the placenta: Varies from 5 to 30 minutes
In the first stage, your abdominal muscles will begin to cramp associated with back pain. These cramps can be of durations of half a minute, about 10 minutes apart. These contractions start coming closer and become more intense as the second stage starts closing in. During the second stage, you may have to push along with the contractions to help give birth to your baby. Most babies are born head-first, although there are cases, when the baby is born buttocks first or legs first. This is commonly called "breeching". In the third stage, it recommended to cut the umbilical cord and ensure that the placenta is entirely removed from the uterus or it may cause complications later.
The onset of labour is marked by the expulsion of the amniotic fluid and then the contractions begin to set in. Most women can walk around and eat food during labour, but when the contractions start to get too painful, it is suggested to get help and have someone around during that time. It is not recommended to push during the first phase, but then it becomes essential to push from the second stage onwards. Your gynaecologist will be able to tell you which stage of labour you are in by looking at the dilation of your cervix. As soon as you start to feel your contractions kicking in, you must contact a gynaecologist or your birthing attendant.

How to Bind a Quilt
Two Parts:Make the BindingBind the QuiltCommunity Q&A
Quilts are created when pieces of fabric are cut and sewn together in a pattern and layered with additional padding for warmth. After completing the detailed process of sewing a quilt (see How to Make a Quilt) the last step is to bind the edges with fabric to give your quilt a "finished" look. This article details the process for making binding strips and using them to bind your quilt.
Part 1
Make the Binding
1Choose a binding fabric. Your quilt's binding can be designed to make a bold statement or blend in with the pattern. Envision the way you want your finished quilt to look as you make your fabric choice.
- Fabric with a crosswise grain, as opposed to a lengthwise grain, is a sturdier choice for binding. Because of the direction of the grain, a split in one area won't run along the entire length of the binding. Instead, it will run crosswise and end at the seam where the binding joins the quilt.
- Bias binding strips, with a grain that runs diagonally, are also good for sturdy binding. Again, a split in the fabric won't travel as far since the grain doesn't run the length of the fabric.
2Take measurements. The amount of fabric you'll need to buy is determined by how large your quilt is and how much you want the binding to stand out.
- Choose the width of your binding. If your quilt already has a built-in border, you may want thinner binding. If you'd like the binding to act as a border, you may want it to be wide. Keep in mind you'll be cutting the fabric into strips that will then be folded in half.
- Measure the four sides of your quilt to determine the length of its perimeter. You'll need twelve to fifteen extra inches of binding material.
3Cut the binding fabric into strips of your chosen width. You may find a rotary cutter to be helpful for larger projects. Fabric scissors will also do the trick.
4Sew the pieces together using the following method until you have a binding strip long enough to outline the perimeter of your quilt:
- Lay two strips at a right angle with the ends overlapping, so that they form an inverted "L" shape. Pin the strips at the outer corner using a straight pin.
- Stitch a diagonal line across where the two strips meet. Pull the top strip down so the two strips form a straight line. Trim away the extra fabric triangle on the outside of the seam, leaving ¼" seam allowance.
- Continue attaching more strips in this fashion until you have one long strip.
- When your binding strip is long enough, iron it straight and flat. Fold it in half lengthwise and iron it again to create a crease down the middle of the fabric.
Part 2
Bind the Quilt
1Prepare the quilt for binding. After you have finished quilting, use your sewing machine to stitch in a straight line 1/8" from from the edge of the quilt around its entire perimeter. This will ensure that the layers of the quilt stay flat and in place during the binding process.
- When you're finished stitching, trim any rough edges or excess batting from the perimeter of the quilt to make sure it is neat and even.
2Begin sewing the binding. Line up the raw edges of the binding strip with the raw edge of the quilt. The folded part of the binding strip should be on the inside of the quilt top. Begin sewing about three inches from the corner, leaving an unsewn "tail" that will be tucked into the binding later.
- Choose the seam allowance that fits the look of your quilt. The most common seam allowance is ¼".
- Use the walking foot on your sewing machine to prevent the fabric from bunching up.
- Sew along the first side of the quilt until you've reached the same distance from the corner as your seam allowance. If you're using a ¼" seam allowance, stop stitching ¼" from the corner.
- Backstitch a few centimeters and cut the threads.
3Bind the first corner. Begin by folding the long tail of the binding up, so that it runs parallel to the next side of the quilt you're going to bind. The lower edge of the strip will form a 45-degree angle. Keeping that folded angle in place, fold the tail down so that its raw edge is aligned with the raw edge of the next side of the quilt. This is called mitering a corner. Begin sewing a new line at a right angle to where the first stitch ended. Backstitch over the corner to make sure it stays firmly in place.
4Sew all the edges and corners. Continue sewing the binding along the edge of the quilt, using the same seam allowance you used on the previous edge. As you approach each corner, stop stitching the same distance from the edge as your seam allowance. Miter the corner and continue sewing along the last edge.
5Finish sewing the first side. When you reach the place where you began binding the quilt, trim the tail, leaving just enough fabric to overlap the starting place by about four inches. Fold the fabric under at a diagonal and tuck the other tail at the beginning of the binding underneath. Continue stitching along the edge of the quilt and sew over your original seam by an inch or so. Backstitch and trim your thread.
6Turn the quilt over and bind the other side. Flip the quilt and fold the binding strip to the same measurement as your seam allowance. If you used a ¼" seam allowance, fold the binding strip over the edge ¼". Use your walking foot to begin stitching along the edge of the quilt.
- Guide your quilt carefully and stitch slowly. Adjust the quilt as needed to ensure your seam is straight.
- When you reach the corner, miter it. Fold the end of the binding strip under at a 45-degree angle at the corner, then laying it flat along the next edge. Carefully pivot the quilt in the sewing machine at the corner and continue stitching the next edge of the quilt. Sew each edge and corner of the quilt in this manner.
- Continue stitching about an inch over the place where you started. Backstitch, then trim the thread.
Community Q&A
- Get creative with your binding. You can use many different fabrics if you want to create a "crazy quilt" effect.
- The last step of binding may be done by hand. Instead of using your sewing machine to complete the binding on the back side of your quilt, use a whipstitch to finish it off.

Asos, the online fashion retailer, has revealed that revenues from its US website will match those generated in the UK in the "medium term" after it posted a 59 per cent surge in sales.
The retailer, which was founded in 2000, also said it will launch its first "Facebook Store" on 27 January; it will allow users on the social network site to buy its products using their existing Asos log in.
Asos said the launch of its US website in October had helped increase sales in the country by 267 per cent for the three months up to 31 December. This means US sales are increasing faster than UK sales did in the early days of the company, when the UK business was growing at around 100 per cent.
Nick Robertson, the chief executive of Asos, said: "The US will be at least as big as the UK in the medium term, which is very exciting," but he declined to provide a timeframe.
In its third quarter, Asos increased retail sales by 59 per cent to £100.03m. This growth was powered by a rise in international sales of 156 per cent to £43.72m. Despite last month's heavy snow, UK sales grew by 23 per cent to £56.32m, slightly faster than in its second quarter. Unlike several other retail bosses, Mr Robertson refused to blame the snow for preventing a higher growth in sales. "We suffered on," he said. "December had its challenges."
Asos said that millions of its users already interact with its website through Facebook. James Hart, its e-commerce director, said: "Our Facebook Store will allow them to do this directly through Facebook." The Asos site attracts more than 11 million unique visitors each month.

Jay Fisher - World Class KnifemakerQuality Without Compromise |
Maker's Mark: |
New to the website? Start Here |
"Sargon" |
The Chama is one of my early patterns, designed with the help and input of a professional hunting guide whose specialty is the great American Elk. The Chama was named for a mountain town in New Mexico that is near elk habitat, and home for many professional outfitting companies and lodges. He wanted a knife that could be used to field dress several of these huge animals without needing sharpened, and could get inside the animal to work. So the Chama is designed as a three-fingered knife, with a handle that is only large enough for three fingers so the handle butt does not protrude from the palm. The blade is a wide, stout dropped point, for skinning and dressing with a deeply hollow ground blade that provides plenty of belly and a razor-keen cutting edge with great serviceability and longevity in the design.
This Chama has a mirror polished 440C high chromium stainless steel blade, hand-engraved low carbon steel bolsters, and beautiful and distinctive Snowflake Obsidian gemstone handle scales. To match the knife, the sheath is made of gray Emu skin inlays in hand-carved leather shoulder, dyed black, hand-stitched, lacquered, and sealed.
A beautiful older design that is still a pleasure to make and to see.

Fagersta, November 2013 – Ideal for turning applications that involve titanium, superalloys and other challenging materials, Seco's new Jetstream Tooling Duo technology applies one or more additional coolant jets from a second direction. This quickly and effectively removes heat from the cutting zone, allowing manufacturers to achieve higher cutting speeds, longer tool life, improved chip control and increased productivity overall.
The Jetstream Tooling Duo technology precisely directs the upper coolant jet to the optimal point of the rake face, while the additional jet flushes the clearance surface. As a result, the cutting edge receives high-pressure coolant from two opposite directions – above and below – maximising control of the chip flow as well as cooling the cutting zone. In fact, by adding the second coolant jet to its Jetstream Tooling product, Seco has made it possible for customers to increase tool life by an additional 10 percent as well as achieve better surface finishes.
Jetstream Tooling Duo also includes an optional inducer to improve performance in roughing conditions where additional power is required on the chip side and in applications where chips tend to hit the inducer. This option is in addition to the standard mounted inducer for finishing and medium-roughing operations.
Seco uses an extremely reliable P-holder lever design on the Jetstream Tooling Duo to provide rigid locking of the insert and achieve high repeatability in the insert indexation. With improved rigidity, manufacturers can increase their depths of cut, employ higher feed rates and improve part quality.
Jetstream Tooling Duo is available for negative type inserts, including CNxx, WNxx, SNxx, DNxx and TNxx.
Additionally, regular Jetstream Tooling utilising the P-holder level design is available in shank and Seco-Capto™ options.
To learn more about Jetstream Tooling Duo Technology, please contact a local Seco representative or visit
Headquartered in Fagersta, Sweden and present in more than 50 countries, Seco Tools is a leading global provider of metal cutting solutions for milling, turning, holemaking and toolholding. For more than 80 years, the company has provided the technologies, processes and support that manufacturers depend on for maximum productivity and profitability.

Does anyone know of any BYOB's that could accommodate a group of about 80? My thoughts are probably not too many. It would ideally be somewhere near Downtown or Old Port, with not-too-adenturous food (as we have a large group with different palates to please), at a reasonable price (between 20-35 pp).
Thanks in advance!

The Austin Area Seems Unaffected By Housing Slowdown
If you watch the news at all you know that the housing market is beginning to suffer around most of the country. The areas that seem hardest hit are those that are on the west and east coasts. Here is Central Texas we have yet to see a real slowdown in the market as new houses continue to go up all over the place.
Our neighborhood in Round Rock is in the close-out stage and I believe that there are less then 10 houses available for sale. These house have at the bare minimum had their foundations poured which a couple are already finished with grass in the front yard. It will nice when these final houses are sold and we do not have any more construction in our neighborhood.
But even as they finish our neighborhood there are model homes being built if a brand new neighborhood that is being built just to the north of us. This neighborhood is set to be priced even higher then ours.
In California the house that I paid $177,000 for in 2001 went up to $440,000 last year. It is now down to $360K. We walked way with a healthy profit from the house when we sold it in 2003 which was nice. I wish we would have been able to hold out until last year but we were hit by the dot com bust and had to sell. We learned our lesson about the economy back then which was one of the reasons we call to Central Texas.
Here we were able to get a really nice house for a reasonable price. If the economy goes bad again we will be able to hold up much better this time around and will be able to keep our house. Unfortunately even though a lot of people were affected by the dot com bust they did not learn and are setting themselves up to hurt by the next bust - the housing bubble. If the economy takes a turn for the worst and people start losing their jobs again all these people with these expensive mortgages are going to lose their houses.
I think if things do start to go bad that Central Texas will not be affected as bad as the majority of the rest of the country - that's one of the things that makes this such a great place to live.

Taliban negate Mullah Akhtar's Supremacy, will Elect New Supreme Leader
ISLAMABAD: Following the death of Mullah Omar, dissident Afghan Taliban leaders have formed a 'shura' or council, to elect a new chief after controversy surfaced over the election of Mullah Akhtar Mansoor, a council's member said Saturday.
Mansoor, the former aviation minister in the Taliban government, was elected this week after the Taliban formally confirmed their supreme leader Mullah Omar had died of a protracted illness.
A senior member of the powerful leadership council said that the council will give Akhtar Mansoor some time to "give up" the top position.
"If he refuses, the council could elect a new leader," he added.
As differences within the Taliban ranks emerged, the new Taliban chief called for unity. The Taliban released audio files of Mansoor's speech to the meeting after his election.
Taliban faced split after the confirmation of Mullah Omar's death, who had kept the movement united during his life.
Mullah Omar's family has announced it will not "support any group" if the leaders failed to agree on the chief in "unanimity".
The family in a statement declined to back Akhtar Mansoor who was one of the trusted leaders of Mullah Omar and the founding member, according to senior Taliban leaders.
"The Ameerul Momineen (leader of the faithful) had always desired unity and understanding and he had, to a large extent, succeeded to maintain unity. We want to consult and respect opinion of the ulema, Mujahideen, and those renowned personalities in the election of the new chief who had played important role in the foundation of the Islamic Emirate," Omar's family said in a statement.
The election with consensus will be homage and respect to the desire of Mullah Omar, the statement added.
"We will serve the new leader if he is elected with consensus but will not support anyone including Mullah Akhtar Mansoor if the leaders failed to demonstrate unity," Omar's family said.

The first-run edition of Electroplankton in Japan came bundled with a set of blue colored ear bud headphones. The game offers two game modes: Performance and Audience. The Performance mode allows the user to interact with the plankton through use of the stylus, touchscreen, and microphone. Audience mode simply allows the user to put down the system and enjoy a continuous musical show put on by all of the plankton, although the user can interact with the plankton just like in Performance mode. Audience mode is like a demo mode in some other games.

Choosing water stones5/23
Simple question... What are the best water stones on the market? 5/24
Best? No idea. I bought King about 30 years ago, still love them. The 800 grit is only about 5/8" thick now. 5/26
I would say the Shapton stones are the the best thing going tight now. 5/26
Thanks guys. I just bought Sharon professional series stones. 1000 grit and 8000 grit. I already had a 220(ish) Grit. I also ordered a veritable mk2 honing guide. I recently picked up a large flattening stone too so I'm thinking I'm set for now. 5/26
I'm not a fan of the 8000 stone. I can get a good working chisel with 800, 1200, and 3000. I just don't feel the difference between 3000 and 8000 is worth it in the shop. Hobbyist can brag about the shine on 8000 polished steel, but you can shave with a 3000 sharpened chisel. 5/26
Thanks Rich C. I just want to make sure I can get my tools as sharp as possible. I don't care what they look like.
That's why I use the WorkSharp 3000,I can shave hair/slice through paper,without the hassles of waterstones.I have 3 shapton stones and various jigs,but I rarely use them since buying the Worksharp.I find that I keep blades alot sharper since it's so much more convenient now,within a few seconds I can resharpen without the hassles of flattening stones and making a mess with water,and oiling blades to prevent rust. 5/27
I'll bet that worksharp is sweet. I take silicon carbide paper and a piece of glass or granite tile. Wet the flat surface and stick a piece if paper on it. Put your chisel in a guide and wet the paper. Using 220 then 320 I get a sharp chisel in 2 minutes. 5/28
Wet/dry sandpaper works so good,
You can have my waterstones. They are under 1/4" of dust at the lower back of my sharpening bench. Haven't been used in years. Once I changed to the cardboard discs with allied abrasives and powered buffing wheels, I never looked back. I can hit every edge tool in the shop, and all the kitchen knives in an hour, and they will all have mirror polished edges that are scalpel sharp. Even the turning gouges. So much faster and more accurate than the waterstones, its like a Model A vs a Maserati. 11/4
+1 for Shapton professional, especially the 1k.

CHARLESTON, S.C., June 6— Spoleto Festival U.S.A., held annually here, is troubled by difficult questions in its 17th year. Has this multi-disciplinary event lost its edge, its experimental thrust? Will it overcome internal squabbles and financial crises? Could it survive without the guidance of its 82-year-old founder, Gian Carlo Menotti?
A single weekend's visit did not provide ready answers. For the moment, the festival seems to be on reasonably firm musical ground; there were solid productions of two unjustly neglected operas, some attractive programs of chamber music and a brand-new children's opera by Mr. Menotti. Crowds were large, concessions brisk, publicity relentless.
The contemporary programming, however, was discouragingly limited. Mr. Menotti is a composer of conservative bent, and the festival's new musical director, Steven Mercurio, apparently reflects his tastes. The three "20th-Century Perspectives" programs were dominated by traditionalists like Ned Rorem, David del Tredici and Stephen Albert. Works by Peter Lieberson ( "Raising the Gaze") and Roberto Sierra ("Piezas Caracteristicas," a brilliant fusion of simple intervals and sophisticated rhythm) provided balance, but these "perspectives" could have been far wider. 'Der Zwerg' by Zemlinsky
Still, even if the festival has become less adventurous, it has found rich territory to explore. The American premiere of "Der Zwerg" ("The Dwarf," also known as "The Birthday of the Infanta"), a 1922 opera by Alexander von Zemlinsky, was an important gesture on behalf of music that had previously been consigned to obscurity. Minor political imbroglios notwithstanding, it was the festival's major news.
Zemlinsky, a protege of Mahler and the teacher of Schoenberg, is a composer who perpetually needs to be re-introduced. Although he died utterly forgotten just outside New York City in 1942, his European associates -- Schoenberg, Berg, the philosopher and critic Theodor W. Adorno, even Stravinsky -- kept his name alive, and in the last decade his instrumental works have slowly been edging into the repertory. His operas are still essentially unknown, at least in the United States.
With Zemlinsky, it is best to avoid breathless superlatives. No lonely iconoclast, this composer compulsively echoed Brahms, Strauss, Mahler, even the young Korngold. But Adorno argued in his 1959 essay on Zemlinsky that the very reticence of the music, its stylistic equivocation, becomes a virtue. In an age when composers were storming triumphantly toward various dead ends, Zemlinsky evolved an intricate and subtle style from an approachable late-Romantic idiom.
Lacking a voice indisputably his own, Zemlinsky asserts himself through a sort of musical conjuration. He draws the listener on with a certain amount of patter and setup, with stylistic allusions and orchestral illusions, then suddenly lets forth a flash of lyric splendor. His magical fragments of melody, gliding across a rich but delicate instrumental texture, had a crucial influence on the atonal Romanticism of Berg.
"Der Zwerg" is perhaps his most immediately arresting score. Georg Klaren's libretto is based on Oscar Wilde's "Birthday of the Infanta," a parable of innocence and intolerance. On her birthday, a young Spanish princess is presented with a singing dwarf who, having never seen himself in a mirror, thinks himself very handsome. When the truth dawns and the princess spurns him as a mere toy, he falls dead of a broken heart. Zemlinsky, not handsome himself, identified strongly with his subject; the merriment is colored darkly at the edges, and the tragic end is cruelly concise.
The problem is that the story does not quite furnish enough material for a full evening's entertainment; both libretto and score have a few empty stretches. When the Hamburg Opera revived "Der Zwerg" in 1981, it cut and revised the text to sharpen its impact: the opera was even renamed after the Wilde story. In this version, the opera has been heard repeatedly in Europe. Mr. Menotti, who directed the production, unfortunately reverted to the longer and more diffuse original, while retaining the "Infanta" title.
Mr. Menotti's staging was straightforward: an ornate interior with a light-suffused courtyard at the back. One might have wished for a more sumptuous decor to match Wilde's catalogues of royal extravagance, but the story was served. Friday night's cast was led ably by Robert Brubaker, who overcame the demands of the dwarf's lyric-dramatic tenor line with only a few struggles. Mary Dunleavy captured the icy innocence of the Princess, and Marie Plette gave emotional intensity to the compassionate maid Ghita. The Spoleto orchestra, under Mr. Mercurio's direction, played with admirable commitment.
Will this belated American premiere further advance the Zemlinsky cause? "Infanta" would certainly make a strong double bill with Zemlinsky's other Wilde one-acter, "A Florentine Tragedy." The composer is well represented on recordings; the Koch-Schwann label has released the two Wilde operas and also the sharp-edged bourgeois satire "Kleider Machen Leute," and Capriccio has superbly documented the lush fairy tales "Es War Einmal," and "Der Traumgorge" and the dazzlingly eclectic "Kreidekreis," a response to the atmosphere of the Weimar years. All do justice to Zemlinsky's remote, seductive voice. 'Comte Ory' by Rossini
While its Zemlinsky production preserved the composer's original version, Spoleto's "Comte Ory" replaced a French libretto with an Italian translation. It's not a wild leap; Rossini pillaged material from his own "Viaggio a Reims" in concocting "Ory," which is indisputably opera buffa to the core. But the switch seemed to peel away a layer of subtlety from Rossini's final comedy.
Spoleto's production, directed by Giulio Chazalettes and designed by Ulisse Santicchi, is a handsome and vivid affair. The first act takes place amid masses of greenery and earth tones, the second in the high-vaulted bedroom of a medieval castle. Stretching an already improbable scenario, Mr. Chazalettes chose to eroticize the encounter between the Countess and the Page in the dizzying, climactic trio; a gauze bed curtain is the instrument of confusion as the lascivious Ory, dressed as a nun, makes love to his own page by mistake. (The page, of course, is played by a woman; Rossini was gleefully testing the limits of convention.)
On Saturday night, the young cast was superb. Jan Grissom sang the Countess with a light but lucidly beautiful soprano tone, and Charles Workman had no trouble with the high tenor reaches of Ory. John Hancock, a baritone, delivered the jester role of Raimbaud with tremendous enthusiasm, stealing all his scenes. Victoria Livengood was boyishly compelling as the page Isolier. Michele Patzakis, Jane Gilbert, Thomas Hammons and Curt Peterson filled out the cast, and the Westminster Choir proved adept at physical comedy. Robert Duerr, a talented young conductor, drew a sharp performance from the Spoleto orchestra. 'Singing Child' by Menotti
Finally, there was Mr. Menotti's "Singing Child," which had its premiere on May 31, and which I saw on Saturday afternoon. This 48-minute portrait of a child neglected by his wealthy parents follows in the footsteps of the ever-popular "Amahl and the Night Visitors," which remains a masterpiece in the field of American children's opera. The subject is something short of universal, but Mr. Menotti's dramatic instincts are reliable even on a small scale. Two members of the American Boychoir, William Cole and Harold Haughton, winningly played the unhappy boy and his imaginary singing friend; Maria Fenty gave comic breadth to the role of the nasty baby sitter.

So I have about 9 more days before I am charged for the phone and it is bricked, or so I think. It was rooted with an eclipse ROM of ics and i was having a lot of problems. So I stupidly called Verizon and had them send me a new phone. Now I have the new phone and have to send the old one back. I read on some xda forums that by using RSD and a stock rom, it would un-root the phone and set it back to warranty state. Well after flashing "VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-73_DHD-11_TA-3_1FF_02.xml" I am now stuck with a screen that has: AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure) 0A.66 Device is LOCKED, Status Code:0 Battery OK OK to Program Connect USB Data Cable Please Help Me!!!!
Try this... Going back to stock .211: *On your pc, download and install Matt's Razr Utility 1.8 or 1.81 or 1.82. You can find 1.82 here: Droid Razr Utility 1.82 [Windows] For Verizon Droid Razr And Droid Razr Maxx Only - DroidRzr.com *Extract that utility to its own folder on your computer...you must extract the file on your pc. It will not work from your phone. *After the utility is extracted, go to the Motorola drivers folder in the utility and make sure you have the latest Motorola drivers installed on your pc. *make sure your phone is set to usb debugging mode (menu>system setting>developer options). *Power your phone off. Then power your phone on while holding down your power, the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously. *Connect your phone to your computer with the factory supplied usb cable. *On your phone select AP Fastboot, then in the utility select option 1..."restore phone to stock .211. Do not unplug the usb cable until the utility finishes. *When completed your phone should reboot to stock .211. *After running option 1, restart phone to make sure all is fine.
Yes it should because you only need to boot to the fastboot menu (with phone off,press power, volume up and volume down at same time).
Please help - I have tried this and it fails to load the boot.img every time. It will only allow my phone to bring up the Dual-Core logo...nothing more. Any ideas?
Low battery... Hey so my phone's battery is pretty much dead, and Matt's utility won't allow me to continue with a low battery despite being plugged into a power source. It won't charge when I plug it into the wall overnight. Any ideas on how I should continue? Thanks!
