Triple-Zip Pouch Swap Goodies
The Triple-Zip Pouch Swap is officially over, for me anyway, and I have to say that this swap was so much fun. Swaps on Flickr are always fun, speculating which pouch will end up as yours. I tried really hard for this swap to comment on all pouches posted, and am happy to say that I did comment on the one that I received. Awesome! Before I show off my goodies that I received, I want to show you guys what I sent to my secret partner. The photo above is what I sent to Tracy Hudson (Cece sews) and no worries, she has received her package so I'm not spoiling anything. The package I sent included the triple zip pouch, note cards, post it notes, Aurifil thread samples, five text print fat eighths and a Moda mini charm pack of the fabric line Tapestry. I tried to stick to a color theme with the fabric and thread, and I felt that it matched the pouch quite nicely. I think she was happy with her package, so I am thrilled about that!
Now it is time to show off my goodies! I honestly couldn't be more thrilled with my pouch! It is so much my style and taste, honestly like I would make for myself! This lovely pouch was made by the uber talented Alyce Rodriguez (wonderlandbyalyce) and she blogs HERE. She totally stalked me, found out my favorites and totally rocked it! I mean seriously, look how cute this pouch is!
Here is the back of the pouch, equally cute, and she was so smart to use a print that was multi-directional, so it worked for the front and back.
Here is the photo of my entire package! How lucky am I? I said that my favorite color was purple, so Alyce sent me some beautiful purple fabrics, none of which I had in my stash, and I love them all! Such a cute notebook and candy that I scarfed down the first day! Sad but true! My pouch was stuffed full. Thank you Alyce, such a nice present and a great end to such a fun swap! Huge thanks to Stephanie at Quarter Incher for putting this whole swap together and doing so much hard work to make it successful!
The Triple-Zip Pouch Swap
Hello! I feel like it has been ages since I have blogged, and I guess it has. I've been busy stitching up a storm, plus the kids and I seem to live with a summer cold lately....yuck. Anyways, earlier this year I participated in the Triple-Zip Pouch Sew Along hosted by A Quilter's Table, and the tutorial for the pouch can be found HERE. At the time, I stitched up five finished pouches and cut out six more. You can see and read about my first five HERE. Well the extra six I cut out sat around for a while, but I grew tired of looking at the unfinished stack so I went ahead and finished them up. Not long after finishing the final six I stumbled across Stephanie at Quarter Incher who decided to host a Triple-Zip Swap. Well I just knew I had to sign up, how fun!
The basic premise for this blind swap (we have no idea who has our name) was that we were to make them a triple zip pouch and fill it with some goodies like notions, fabrics, you know that sort of thing. Well since I have quite a few pouches already made, I knew that one was bound to be the perfect fit for my partner, because honestly I made eleven pouches that were pretty diversified, one had to be her tastes, or at least I was hoping so.
The swap is nearing its deadline to ship and I haven't posted anything for my partner yet, so I wanted to make sure and add an assortment to the Flickr group and hopes she responds as to which one she likes the best. If not, then I'll make the ultimate decision, fill it with the goodies I have assembled and ship it off, hopefully later this week, or the beginning of next! My partner was a bit vague, but I do have a pretty good idea of what she likes just by looking at her Flickr stream, I have my fingers crossed that I am on the right track.
Not all of these pouches shown here are up for grabs, some have been gifted to family members already, I pulled four pouches for her to choose from (or the Flickr group members to choose from!) I just wanted to make sure I showed off all of the Triple-Zip Pouches that I made this year! Such a fun tutorial and great gift, I know there will be more of these pouches in my future for sure!
Now that the summer is rapidly drawing to an end and my oldest starts Kindergarten soon, I am hoping to share some of my finished projects in the coming weeks with you guys, I have so much to blog about and oh so little time! I do hope that once we get a good routine established again I'll be able to blog more frequently, fingers crossed! Until next time, do enjoy your last bits of summer!
Finish-A-Long Quarter Three
It is already the third quarter of the year, is anyone else depressed that the year is half way over. *Huge Sigh* Oh well, time to move on! I don't want to say that the second quarter was a bust, but it kinda was in terms of finishing things. I believe I had high aspirations of 11 or 13 projects or something ridiculous like that, which obviously I didn't finish. But....I did finish two. I didn't link them up with the second quarter finish-a-long, simply because I haven't photographed them yet. I finished two sets of pajamas for my boys and my Cosmic Burst Quilt. I will post about them another time when the weather is right and the boys are behaving, so hopefully in the next three months! HA! I was happy to at least cross two things off the list.
This quarter I am taking things a bit differently, instead of a long list, I am aiming for a smaller do-able one. I actually finished up quite a few quilt tops last quarter and have all the backings put together too! So here are my goals for quarter three:
Project One: Boom Boom Pow Quilt - This top is finished, the backing is finished. I just have to baste, quilt and bind it. This is a throw quilt that I plan to keep for myself!
Project Two: Dancing Stars Table Runner - The table runner top is finished and I have the backing ready to go. The letters print will be the binding. I need to baste it, quilt it and bind it. This is to gift, but I don't have an intended recipient yet, I will just know when it is done, I'm sure.
Project Three: Latticework Strings Quilt - This quilt top is finished and so is the backing. I need to baste it, quilt it and bind it. This is a throw quilt that also has no intended recipient, yet.
Project Four: Emerald Cut Quilt - This odd sized wall hanging is all basted and ready to quilt. This quilt will hang in my house when it is finished and will cover up a window that will be removed. No rush, the window has not been removed, well not yet anyway!
Obviously, I will be doing a lot of quilting this quarter, but I have all of the supplies, so nothing should hold me up. Linking up with Leanne at She Can Quilt and Never too hot to stitch! 2013 the Year of the Finished Project.
Clashy and Bright
Rachel over at Stitched in Color is hosting a mosaic contest called Clashy Bright. The basic point is to head over to Marmalade Fabrics, pick a collection of 12 that you define as "clashy bright." This is my collection, I think I wanted to enter because I kinda define myself as clashy bright, and if you asked my husband, I'm sure he would agree. Instead of just picking a bunch of random fabrics that would "clash" I chose fabrics that I think clash within themselves, especially the two ends on the very first row. Those two are like, "Wow, these are some CRAZY colors mashed together in one print!" I then choreographed the rest of the collection to match those two and stuck with a very defined palette that in the end I think is the definition of Clashy Bright! Do you agree?
Last month, Threadbias announced they would be holding another quilt design contest featuring the fabric Wallflowers by Allison Harris. I just knew I would participate. I loved it last time so here was another chance to play around with the quilt design tool and some lovely digital fabric swatches.
I immediately knew that I wanted to try out some other ideas based on a recent quilt top that I finished up, a design that featured strings and a latticework design, which can be seen HERE. Knowing that was my basis for the design, I wanted to see what a deliberate patchwork background would look like and if the block was even possible. Well it was! Once I had drawn up the block, the rest was easy, until I had to decide how I wanted the latticework to look. Hmm....
My three ideas for the latticework can be see here. My very first version started out with just random placement of the five larger scale prints from the collection. That then transformed into a more deliberate placement of the fabrics, one that ended up with a predominant cross design, with a weaving of the other prints around it. My second version featured the latticework all in one print, very traditional. Lastly, I decided to lay out the five prints in a chevron like layout. I liked this version a lot, but wasn't sold. In the end I left the vote up to my mom and she decided that she liked the very first version, the one that featured the cross. Be it that Mother knows best, that is the design that I entered into the contest.
Once again, this contest was really fun, and I loved playing with the Quilt Design Tool by Threadbias. I used all of the prints from the collection and one of the solids that we were given the option to use. Voting is open now in this contest, and if you have a free Threadbias account you can vote. Please take a moment to hop on over and vote, I would love it if you would vote for mine, but honestly there are a ton of great entries, so vote for the one that you love the best! Click on the image below to take you to the contest and there you will find the View Entries button! Thank you to all the sponsors of this contest, I appreciate the chance to enter the contest and use the Quilt Design Tool.
Here we are at Week Five in the Zakka 2.0 Sew Along! This week, the Diamond Patchwork Placemat, from the book Patchwork, Please! by Ayumi Takahashi. I knew all along that I would be making four placemats and not just one, and boy am I glad that I did, they turned out so cute and really didn't take that long to make all four.
I used fabric from my stash with the exception of the 100% linen, which I bought from JoAnn's Fabrics. I pre-washed the linen because I know that it tends to shrink a lot in the wash, but washed nothing else. Hopefully that doesn't come back to haunt me one day. The backing and binding is a Darlene Zimmerman 30's reproduction print that I have been holding on to for quite some time, I felt the scale and coloring was perfect for these placemats, especially since the backing wraps around to the front to create the binding. I like that method, so quick and easy!
For some strange reason I have an insanely huge stash of kitchen and food prints. I started pulling them for this project and after digging just a short time pulled out 25 prints. I know I have more than that, that is just what I pulled out from light digging! In the end I narrowed it down to just fruit, vegetable and Kawaii prints like the picnic and sushi themed ones. I even used two of my HOARDED Spoonflower sample prints and cut them up! It was the right decision, I just love them mixed in!
I didn't change much from the printed directions, just three little things. First, I did not paper piece the diamond patchwork panels on either side, but rather just pieced them normally. I can see why she recommended paper piecing, especially with the shiftiness of linen, but otherwise it worked out just fine. Second, I used a pretty little lace on the side of my panels instead of the ric rac the author called for. I wanted to use from my stash and this was the only suitable thing I had enough yardage of. I rather like the look of lace, linen and a bunch of silly Kawaii prints. Lastly, I did not spray baste as she suggested. I didn't have any, so I just pinned, pinned, pinned! You can obviously see that the front and back are not glued together simply by noticing the MILLION wrinkles all over. Honestly the pictures make it look worse than it is, but they are there.
I quilted exactly as she suggested and I really like it, I used the binding directions that was suggested also. I mentioned earlier, this is such a great method for this project. In the detail shots below you can see a better example of my mitered corners, good and bad, which I machine stitched instead of stitching by hand. They aren't perfect, but heck, they won't be perfect once food and drink gets spilled on them either!
Closing with a few detail shots of my favorite fussy cut blocks. Love these little vegetable and fruit people, especially broccoli guy! These are going to look so nice on my dining room table.

Zakka 2.0 - Polka Dot Cafe Apron
Here we are at Week Four of the Zakka 2.0 Sew Along. This week my project is an ode to Denyse Schmidt, the fabric designer. The majority of the prints in this jazzy little apron are by Denyse Schmidt, I used three of her fabric lines, and I think they blend so well. The little bits of "kitchen scenes and chickens" featured in the pocket quilt blocks are various designers, but everything else is by her. The quilt blocks feature fabric from the Quilter's Quarters sold at JoAnn Fabrics, this fabric was also used as the binding on top of the pocket. The body of the apron is a home dec/canvas print from the Country Fair line, I've been hoarding this fabric for quite a while. The straps are from her Flea Market Fancy Legacy line. See, I told you it was an ode to her!
I actually made the quilt blocks last week, and instead of using the templates that were in the book, I just measured and used my clear quilter's ruler. This method worked out great, especially for fussy cutting since I could see through the ruler. I sewed them all together and then they just sat there staring at me for the majority of the week. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to make the apron or something else. Well obviously the apron won out, and I am so glad that I went that route in the end.
I used a cheapo muslin for the back of the blocks/pocket lining, and did a simple straight line quilting on the pocket. I did change the way the author suggested finishing up the top binding on the pocket. I sewed it on the way she suggested, but then she suggested hand stitching it down on the backside (inside of the pocket.) Well I was way to lazy for that and just stitched in the ditch right at the top of the pocket/binding, thus sealing it on the backside. If you look closely at the block above you can see my stitching right on the line, or below it. That was a huge time and sanity saver.
The book suggested using a twill fabric for the body of the apron, but I wanted to use stash and after a bit of digging, unearthed this home dec fabric and decided to go for it. Wild and crazy? Yes, a bit, but I love it, and I feel that the pocket stands out on the dark background fabric.
I am a petite gal, so I chopped off 1" on the bottom of the apron, just to shorten it a bit, which was perfect, thus instead of placing the pocket 2.75" from the bottom edge, I placed it 2" from the bottom edge. I also created two pockets instead of one, simply by stitching in between two of the blocks. So the first quilt block is one pocket, and the last two combined are the second pocket. This way pencils and such won't get lost in a huge open pocket. You can also see in the photo below the reinforcement stitching that I did on the spot where the ties meet the apron body. This way I know they won't be coming off. The book called for you to cut the ties at 34" long, but since I cut them with the width of the fabric, which was around 42", I just left them at that length. A little extra length never hurt anybody, right? I don't think so.
I am pleased as punch with this little apron and look forward to using it in the kitchen and if I ever tackle any other craft fairs, I can use it there too!

City Sampler Blocks 13, 14 & 15
Here we are at the end of Chapter One. Thus, the end of the "cross" blocks. The number 14 block is a bit wonky, I guess those long skinny center strips are a bit off, but it isn't too bad. Once again these three were straight forward and easy, oh and fun! I used every print from the Constellations collection, with the exception of one in the first 15 blocks, and aim to try and distribute each of the prints through each chapter evenly. I hope by doing so at the end I don't have a ton of blocks that look really similar, you know? Well I better run, I've got to cut out next weeks blocks!

Zakka 2.0 - Teabag Pouch
Week Three of the Zakka Along 2.0! This week features both a Lettered Tea Cozy and a Teabag Pouch. I didn't make the tea cozy, but I did take the time to make the teabag pouch, except not. We do drink tea, both hot and cold, but it isn't a ritual, but rather teabags thrown in a glass jar, so I knew that I didn't want to use the pouch to hold tea, so i decided to use it for sewing supplies! Originally I thought I would use it to hold my hand sewing needles, but after seeing this version HERE I knew that I would use it for machine needles instead! I thought it was such a great idea!
Once I had decided it would be a sewing pouch, I figured, why not use up some of my sewing themed fabric! I dug through my stash and found a print that featured small sewing items, gathered up a few solid scraps, a scrap of ribbon, a random button, and I was good to go! This was a quick and super easy project, simple directions and straight forward. I added the stitching around the outside just to "finish it off" and I like that look, it looks polished and neat. Now it holds my little cases of sewing machine needles, all organized and tidy in my sewing box. No more digging around for the different sizes, they are all in one place now.

City Sampler Blocks 10, 11 & 12
I am officially caught up! You are probably sick of seeing blocks, so I promise this is my last City Sampler post this week! These blocks were easy to make and really straight forward, but I will say that Block #12 is a tad wonky, if you really look that "cross" is a tiny bit twisted, but I decided to leave it, what does it matter in the grand scheme of things? It doesn't! These blocks are really fun to make and I am just tickled pink to be officially caught up! Woo Hoo!

Good Enough To Serve, But Not Stay?
American resident and Cuban refugee Mario Hernandez fought for our country in the bloody fields of Vietnam. He then he worked for our federal government for 20 years. Now, to his shock, he finds out he is an illegal alien and may have to leave the country he has loved and served.
Mario's nightmare began when he applied for a passport to go on a cruise with his wife. Now mind you, he had worked for an agency that both required citizenship and background checks every five years.
This is yet another example of our government's left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing and an example of the loathe of the military our government now has. This the same government that rented port-a-potties for illegals holding an amnesty rally at the White House, but had police in riot gear to intimidate World War II veterans at their own memorial.
I believe the bar for citizenship should be set very high, but it is obvious that Mario loves our country; even raising a son to fight in Afghanistan.
Let's hope and pray for Mario that the government does a rare "right thing" these days and doesn't "boot" a man who served with his boots on the ground.

Multi Protocol SERDES operating at up to 12.5Gbps (40nm TSMC)
TSMC preps Apple's next finger-print sensor, says report
Peter Clarke, EETimes Europe
January 14, 2014
Foundry Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (Hsinchu, Taiwan) is preparing to make fingerprint sensors for a next-generation Apple iPhone, according to a Digitimes report that references unnamed industry sources.
The sensor will be made using 65nm manufacturing process technology at a 300mm wafer fab with production starting in 2Q14, the report said.
Touch ID was designed and release by Apple on the seventh generation of iPhone, the iPhone 5s. It is thought to be a capacitive touch sensor developed by AuthenTec Inc. (Melbourne, Florida), which was acquired by Apple in July 2012 for $356 million. AuthenTec worked with companies such as NXP Semiconductor prior to its acquisition by Apple.

I am planning a honeymoon to Spain in the fall and will be in Spain for 6 days. I was wondering if it would be better to just do Madrid and Barcelona for 3 days each or do 2 days each in Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville?
I feel like we would not be able to get a true taste of each city if we had to try to rush and do everything in 2 days for each city. Any thoughts from the wise would be greatly appreciated.

Spain for 6 days
I am planning a honeymoon to Spain in the fall and will be in Spain for 6 days. I was wondering if it would be better to just do Madrid and Barcelona for 3 days each or do 2 days each in Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville?
Report Abuse
I'd actually stay in just one city if you only have 6 days. (I'm assuming this is 6 full days and nights and does not include travel time to/from).
3 days Barcelona and 3 days Madrid is a bit rushed especially if you need a day to recover from jetlag. You could easily spend the entire time in one of these cities and do daytrips to a couple of other places. You'll be on your honeymoon so you'll probably want to have a more relaxed pace.
2 days Barcelona/Madrid & Sevilla would be a blur and I wouldn't attempt.
Another alternative would be 4 nights Sevilla and 2 nights Granada. But depending on flights this may not work as you may need to be in Madrid your final night. Logistically it's not as easy as Madrid and/or Barcelona with the limited time.
Report Abuse
I agree with CathyM. Two days in each really just means one day plus a little. Personally, I'd do Barcelona the entire time with day trips. But, if you want to do Barcelona and Madrid, that's doable. As CathyM was wondering, does that include travel days too? Are you arriving from overseas on your day 1?

Praying in a community
Judaism places great value in communal prayer or tefillah b'tzibbur. The rabbis quote many biblical verses to show that praying as a group is more powerful than praying alone. The verse "God stands in the divine assembly" attests to God's presence when we come together (Psalms 82:1).The Torah teaches us that honouring God is a public activity, that "I may be sanctified in the midst of the Israelite people" (Leviticus 22:32).
This has halachic ramifications in that certain blessings may only be recited in a community, b'tzibbur.
Tefillah b'tzibbur is an ideal, but not a non-negotiable, obligation. If a synagogue is more than 18 minutes away, you may pray alone, if possible timing your prayers with those of the nearest tzibbur.
Elie Wiesel writes of the transformative force of tefillah b'tzibbur for the lonely Jew: "He is rescued from his loneliness… He is no longer alone. His voice is not lost in the chaos."

A Farewell to Gumbys: Monty Python Calling It Quits
The Flying Circus in their heyday.
The surviving members of venerable British (plus one American) comedy troupe Monty Python are reuniting for a series of shows at London's O2 arena starting today. There will be ten performances total, featuring much more than mere re-enactments of their Flying Circus material:
In addition to famous Python skits, it will be a fully staged theatrical extravaganza with dancers and an orchestra. It will also feature a filmed appearance by Python Graham Chapman, who died in 1989, and a cameo for British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, the Pythons said at a news conference.
The final show, on July 20, will be broadcast worldwide for the teeming hordes of you who won't be able to pop across the pond to see them live (tickets are still available, BTW). As I understand it, you'll be able to purchase tickets to see it streamed live in select theaters (go here for a list), with rebroadcasts on the 23rd and 24th. I also wouldn't discount the probability of a DVD release somewhere down the line.
As a lifelong Monty Python fan, this is bittersweet if not entirely unexpected news. Part of my childhood Saturday night viewing experience was watching Saturday Night Live, then switching over to PBS to watch the Flying Circus, and like many other nerdy adolescents, I annoyed the hell out of everyone in earshot with my ability to repeat entire Python movies from memory. It's the end of an era, and as such, I will reach back to my awkward teen years to share my favorite bits.
No, not those bits.

In fairness, most Python fans will be familiar with just about everything on this list. Monty Python's Flying Circus ran a mere four seasons (or "series," if you must) for a total of 45 episodes. All (surviving) members of the group have since gone on to explore various individual endeavors: John Cleese has probably been the most visible in post-Python acting roles; while Terry Gilliam has "enjoyed" an uneven directorial career; Michael Palin's travelogues helped earn him a CBE; Eric Idle had -- among other things -- the Rutles and authored the successful musical Spamalot; and Terry Jones has written several books and hosted TV series on ancient and medieval history.
Graham Chapman died in 1989. His funeral would've been something to see.
Anyway, on with the meaningless exercise in click-baiting.
Favorite Skit: For all of these, I've tried to steer clear of the obvious "greatest Python skits of all time" that inevitable include "The Spanish Inquisition," "Dead Parrot," or "The Argument Clinic." Those are all arguably some of the greatest comedy of the 20th century, but you've seen or heard them done to death in movies like And Now For Something Completely Different or on various albums.
"The Bishop" (Episode 17) Everything about this spoof of Roger Moore's The Saint cracks me up: the muscle car, the crosier phone, the opening titles, but possibly the best part is Palin's "The Bishop!" bookending the whole thing.
"Seduced Milkmen" (Episode 3) A lovely send-up of an old trope. Although now that I think about it, why couldn't they get out? There were at least two windows in that room. I'm cheating and linking the version from ANFSCD because Carol Cleveland.
"Sam Peckinpah's Salad Days" (Epsiode 33) I wish Sam Peckinpah could do his version of the Twilight movies.
"Upper Class Twit of the Year" (Episode 12) WHAT A GREAT TWIT!
"Architects Sketch" (Episode 17) Not including a clip for this one. "Did you say knives?" "Rotating knives, yes." Also my first exposure to the evils of Freemasonry.
Favorite Movie: It's a close one, because Life of Brian is the first movie I ever saw in the theater that literally made me fall out of my chair laughing (and this is still my favorite scene), but I think for the sake of contrariness, I'm going to with 1983's The Meaning of Life.
It's a cynical film, with several frankly unpleasant interludes ("Live Organ Transplants" and "Christmas in Heaven," mostly due to the disco finish and Chapman's disquieting fake tan), but as the years have gone by, I find myself drawn into it more and more. Maybe it's my own looming midlife crisis, or maybe I just want to go out like Arthur Jarrett.
And "The Crimson Permanent Assurance" finally makes sense.
Favorite Song:
Again, "The Lumberjack Song" and "Look on the Bright Side of Life" may have been the first Python songs many of us learned, but they're also terribly overplayed. Luckily, Idle (Python's main songwriter) left us with an embarrassment of riches.
"The Galaxy Song"
For a young man struggling with recent tragedy and other boring existential issues, "The Galaxy Song" was simply wonderful, even in the context of Idle singing the song in order to convince Mrs. Brown to donate her liver sans anesthesia.
"Oliver Cromwell" Admit it, this is the best history of the First Lord Protector of the Commonwealth you've ever heard.
There may be reissues of various material coming from the Python camp, but these O2 shows are, more than likely, the last time these septuagenarians will ever assemble to perform "The Cheese Shop." I'm going to try and catch it in the theater, after which I plan to slap as many people with a fish as possible.

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personally identifying information, like your name, Social Security number, or credit card number, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes.
Identity theft is serious. It can cost you time and money. It can destroy your credit and ruin your good name.
Skilled identity thieves use a variety of methods to steal your personal information, including:
Deter identity thieves by safeguarding your information.
-Shred financial documents and paperwork with personal information before you discard them.
-Protect your Social Security number. Don't carry your Social Security card in your wallet or write your Social Security number on a check. Give it out only if absolutely necessary or ask to use another identifier.
-Don't give out personal information on the phone, through the mail, or over the Internet unless you know who you are dealing with.
-Never click on links sent in unsolicited emails; instead, type in a web address you know. Use firewalls, anti-spyware, and anti-virus software to protect your home computer; keep them up-to-date.
-Don't use an obvious password like your birth date, your mother's maiden name, or the last four digits of your Social Security number.
-Keep your personal information in a secure place at home, especially if you have roommates, employ outside help, or are having work done in your home.
Detect suspicious activity by routinely monitoring your financial accounts and billing statements.
-Bills that do not arrive as expected
-Unexpected credit cards or account statements
-Denials of credit for no apparent reason
-Calls or letters about purchases you did not make
-Your credit report. Credit reports contain information about you, including what accounts you have an your bill paying history. Under federal law, you are entitled to a free credit report each year from each of the three main credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Visit www.AnnualCreditReport.com to ask for a copy.
-Your financial statements. Review financial accounts and billing statements regularly, looking for charges you did not make.
Armed with the knowledge of how to protect yourself and take action, you can make identity thieves' jobs much more difficult. You can also help fight identity theft by educating your friends, family, and members of your community.
WWLTV – Algiers, Louisiana
An office formerly belonging to the Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO) was found to contain abandoned records, exposing social security numbers, driver license numbers, and other sensitive data. The records have been in the building for at least two years and it was apparent to local investigators that the records had recently been ransacked, exposing both adults and children to identity theft. "There really is no excuse. This office obviously has been abandoned for a period of time," said Rafael Goyaneche, head of the Metropolitan Crime Commission. "And whoever was responsible for evacuating this facility had an ethical obligation to remove this material with them when they left."
Authorities at HANO have agreed to look into the matter further and provide credit monitoring to those who may have been adversely impacted by the abandoned records.
www.chicagotribune.com – Chicago, Illinois
January 29, 2010 Documents, including intact W-2s, were found in the streets of Des Plaines, Illinois, presenting a significant risk of identity theft for local residents. The documents originally belonged to several local businesses, including the National Insurance Crime Bureau, and could not be immediately traced back to a specific destruction company.
The Chicago Tribune contacted NAID Executive Director Bob Johnson for a quote on this story, and he informed the reporters that a "good shredding company maintains an unbroken chain of custody over its documents, with a screened employee taking them from a locked container to a locked vehicle to a secured shredder." NAID believes that given the nature of the incident, there is a high probability that a waste hauler or paper recycler may be the source of the paperwork.
Before selling or discarding an old computer, or throwing away a disk or CD, you naturally make sure that you've copied all of the files you need. You've probably also attempted to delete your personal files so that other people aren't able to access them. However, unless you have taken the proper steps to make sure the hard drive, disk, or CD is erased, people may still be able to resurrect those files.
Where do deleted files go?
When you delete a file, depending on your operating system and your settings, it may be transferred to your trash or recycle bin. This "holding area" essentially protects you from yourself–if you accidentally delete a file, you can easily restore it. However, you may have experienced the panic that results from emptying the trash bin prematurely or having a file seem to disappear on its own. The good news is that even though it may be difficult to locate, the file is probably still somewhere on your machine. The bad news is that even though you think you've deleted a file, an attacker or other unauthorized person may be able to retrieve it.
What are the risks?
Think of the information you have saved on your computer. Is there banking or credit card account information? Tax returns? Passwords? Medical or other personal data? Personal photos? Sensitive corporate information? How much would someone be able to find out about you or your company by looking through your computer files? Depending on what kind of information an attacker can find, he or she may be able to use it maliciously. You may become a victim of identity theft. Another possibility is that the information could be used in a social engineering attack. Attackers may use information they find about you or an organization you're affiliated with to appear to be
legitimate and gain access to sensitive data.
Can you erase files by reformatting?
Reformatting your hard drive or CD may superficially delete the files, but the information is still buried somewhere. Unless those areas of the disk are effectively overwritten with new content, it is still possible that knowledgeable attackers may be able to access the information.
How can you be sure that your information is completely erased?
Some people use extreme measures to make sure their information is destroyed, but these measures can be dangerous and may not be completely successful. Your best option is to investigate software programs and hardware devices that claim to erase your hard drive or CD. Even so, these programs and devices have varying levels of effectiveness. When choosing a software program to perform this task, look for the following characteristics:

Turkish police on Sunday detained the chief editor of a top newspaper as part of an ongoing operation to round up supporters of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rival, US-exiled imam Fethullah Gulen, reports said.
The police raided the offices of the Zaman daily for a second time in the afternoon, detaining Ekrem Dumanli, as a huge crowd protested outside.
Dumanli is among at least 25 people who were detained in Sunday's raids in 13 cities across Turkey, the Anatolia news agency reported.

However, if you wish to have this walkway you need to think about the budgets since the price for this walkway design is higher than other decorative walkway design. The thing that makes this walkway becomes expensive is the natural stone materials that cost very high. Thus, walkway pavers can be installed to beautify your garden if you already set your mind and prepare for the budgets.

Über diesen Titel
This is the first book-length study to focus primarily on the role of class in the encounter between South Asians and British institutions in the United Kingdom at the height of British imperialism.
In a departure from previous scholarship on the South Asian presence in Britain, 'The better class' of Indians emphasizes the importance of class as the register through which British polite society interpreted other social distinctions such as race, gender, and religion. Drawing mainly on unpublished material from the India Office Records, the National Archives, and private collections of charitable organizations, this book examines not only the attitudes of British officials towards South Asians in their midst, but also the actual application of these attitudes in decisions pertaining to them.
This fascinating book will be of particular interest to scholars and general readers of imperialism, immigration as well as British and Indian social history.
A. Martin Wainwright is Associate Professor of History at The University of Akron

It has on several occasions, been used to effect a bailout, such as those that many have experienced during the economic slowdown occurring in today, from financial setbacks.
A substantial variety of clients has confided in me that due to the current economic scenario, they're unsure of channels that were money-making to invest their money. A number of them are done with bonds and treasury bills but are in dire need of new investment. This is because, even if all businesses crumble, the property will always appreciate substantially. The head that is human works in a very interesting approach. By simply listening to some terms that are distinct, we instantly have the points right within our mind. Looks a little different! It may be. Let us create our place more apparent to offer a fair concept by what we are wanting to say. Once you notice the definition of real estate agencies just thinks, what presses in your mind? The picture of those individuals that help you dealing with a book, selling or buying intent qualities come into the vision! Yes naturally.

Taylor Lautner's Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn Part 1 (check out his right eye) Christmas is almost here, but vampires and werewolves may continue to exude more box-office appeal than furry, talking, kiddie-friendly puppets. Translation: this weekend, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and a less virginal Kristen Stewart will likely put more butts into more North American movie-theater seats than Kermit the Frog. According to Variety, the Bill Condon-directed The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 should finish the box-office line ahead of The Muppets. As per early, rough estimates, Breaking Dawn is expected to collect another $14-$15 million, while The Muppets should gross $13 million. If those early estimates are correct, that means Breaking Dawn will suffer another steep drop this weekend: -64%. Adapted by Melissa Rosenberg from Stephenie Meyer's bestselling novel, in addition to Pattinson, Stewart, and Lautner, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 also features Peter Facinelli, Elizabeth Reaser, »

Urban planning might have been born in Chicago ("Make no little plans"), but that was more than a century ago, in a very different city. Today's city is not the product of Daniel Burnham, the White City, or Mrs. O'Leary's cow. It's the Rust Belt Metropolis That Could—the one that has not only thrived but shouldered its way onto the list of global cities. But what did planning have to do with it? Where did planning steer the city right, where did it fail, and where was it ignored? Most important, what does planning have to offer the city today? In Planning Chicago, Hunt and DeVries tell the real stories of the planners, politicians, and everyday people who shaped contemporary Chicago, starting in 1958, early in the Richard J. Daley era. Over the ensuing decades, planning did much to develop the Loop, protect Chicago's famous lakefront, and encourage industrial growth and neighborhood development in the face of national trends that savaged other cities. But planning also failed some of Chicago's communities and did too little for others. The Second City is no longer defined by its past and its myths but by the nature of its emerging postindustrial future. Planning Chicago looks beyond Burnham's giant shadow to see the sprawl and scramble of a city always on the make. This isn't the way other history books tell the story. But it's the Chicago way.

Arguably the most influential document in the history of urban planning, Daniel Burnham's 1909 Plan of Chicago, coauthored by Edward Bennett and produced in collaboration with the Commercial Club of Chicago, proposed many of the city's most distinctive features, including its lakefront parks and roadways, the Magnificent Mile, and Navy Pier. Carl Smith's fascinating history reveals the Plan's central role in shaping the ways people envision the cityscape and urban life itself. Smith's concise and accessible narrative begins with a survey of Chicago's stunning rise from a tiny frontier settlement to the nation's second-largest city. He then offers an illuminating exploration of the Plan's creation and reveals how it embodies the renowned architect's belief that cities can and must be remade for the better. The Plan defined the City Beautiful movement and was the first comprehensive attempt to reimagine a major American city. Smith points out the ways the Plan continues to influence debates, even a century after its publication, about how to create a vibrant and habitable urban environment. Richly illustrated and incisively written, his insightful book will be indispensable to our understanding of Chicago, Daniel Burnham, and the emergence of the modern city.

"Planning as Persuasive Storytelling is a revealing look at the world of political conflict surrounding the Commonwealth Edison Company's ambitious nuclear power plant construction program in northern Illinois during the 1980s. Examining the clash between the utility, consumer groups, community-based groups, the Illinois Commerce Commission, and the City of Chicago, Throgmorton argues that planning can best be thought of as a form of persuasive storytelling. A planner's task is to write future-oriented texts that employ language and figures of speech designed to construct constituencies that the planner's vision is both desirable and feasible. Though seeking to persuade, the planner must also remain open to transformation through honest engagement with contending stories. Juxtaposing stories about efforts to construct Chicago's electric future, Planning as Persuasive Storytelling suggests a shift in how we think about planning. In order to account for the fragmented and conflicted nature of contemporary American life and politics, that shift would be away from "science" and the "experts" and toward persuasive storytelling by diverse authors"--Back cover.
