Minor seconds in first round defeat
Offaly claim win in Leinster League
Having failed to capitalise on the elements through the opening period, Wexford eventually lost out to a hard-working Offaly outfit in this Leinster Minor hurling league game at the Halo Tiles and Bathrooms Ferns Centre of Excellence on Saturday.
Offaly 1-16 Wexford 2-10
This was essentially a second string Wexford outfit, as the first team squad had lost by four points to Tipperary earlier in the day, which made it all the more difficult for the home side coming up against Offaly's first 15.
Wexford had their opportunities through the opening 30 minutes but couldn't make the most of them, with Offaly turning the tables with a much-improved second-half showing.
Entering the game it was necessary for Wexford to enjoy a bright start, and this they managed to achieve. After Conor Langton had opened the scoring for the visitors with a pointed free, Wexford full-forward Eoin Cullen won possession to the left of goal before drilling a low shot to the corner of the net after two minutes.
When Chris Turner followed almost immediately with a pointed free, Wexford looked to have settled, particularly when a neat Ross Coady point from 35 metres edged them into a 1-2 to 0-1 lead after eight minutes.
Offaly kept in contention through a Conor Lowry pointed free, while two further Aaron Kenny pointed frees reduced the margin to the minimum (1-2 to 0-4) after 18 minutes.
Wexford managed to hit a real purple patch through their outfield dominance, responding with four unanswered points from Chris Turner (two frees), Ross Coady and James Kelly, before Conor Langton with a long free closed out the first-half scoring.
That left Wexford leading by 1-6 to 0-5 at the interval, but the gap would have been greater had they availed of their chances.
Offaly opened the second-half with a brace of points through Aaron Kenny (free) and Kevin McDermott to reduce the deficit to the minimum.
Wexford responded with an attack that produced a Chris turner pointed free, but Offaly brought the sides level (1-7 to 0-10) with a string of points by the 41st minute.
It was turning into a frustrating afternoon for Wexford, as Offaly moved into a 0-14 to 1-9 lead.
And when the midlanders pounced for an Aaron Kenny goal three minutes from the end it more or less settled the result, despite a late surge that produced a Diarmuid Doyle goal in additional time.
Wexford: James Lawlor; Eoin O'Neill, Ricky McGrath, Michael Cleere; Jim Kenny, Ben Maddock, Jack Brazzill; James Kelly (0-1), Jimmy Sutton; Ross Coady (0-2), Jeff Tobin, Tom White; Chris Turner (0-6 frees), Eoin Cullen (1-0), Diarmuid Doyle (1-0). Subs. - Ross Banville (0-1) for Sutton, Jack Reck for Kenny, Diarmuid Kehoe for Cullen.
Offaly: Ciarán Flynn; Luke O'Connor, Cathal O'Meara, Seán Beatty; Ciarán Guinan, Barry Cleary, Aidan King (0-1); Kevin McDermott (0-2), Marcus O'Brien; Conor Langton (0-2 frees), Shane O'Toole, Brian Duignan (0-1); Leighton Kavanagh, Aaron Kenny (1-8, 0-6 frees), Conor Lowry (0-2 frees). Subs. - Luke Nolan for O'Connor, Aaron Maher for O'Toole, Killian Troy for Duignan, Cathal Brady for Beatty, Dara Tierney for Cleary.
Referee: Seán Stack (Dublin).

Man... do they really commemorate parents on this side of the world.
So Father's Day came around. And this was what it reminded me.
One: I lost my dad to Leukemia when I was 11. I was just about to grow up to be able to know him a lot better.
Two: Abah's younger brother, aka my uncle, became the stepdad 3 years later when I was 15.
Three: The stepdad is a myterious, quiet being whose steps and thoughts are silent and secret, who asks me of things I pretty much don't like, who has also taken over the place of my dad to which I believe he did unwillingly.
I still remember - after months of anticipating his death - how I cried not a single tear during my dad's funeral, yet crying my eyes out at my mum's second wedding as though all hope is lost for a life that makes sense. And to some point I was right about that. They had both decided on 'what's best for me' and now I'm sitting in a stark corner still trying to make ends meet with my own bare hands. Did they think pushing me into a bare naked corner was what's best for me? Oh yeah. And they're still doing it.
The funny thing is that I do miss Abah, but not so much that it paralyses me or makes me dwell too much on the question of 'What if he was still around?'. Of course I've thought about it, and if he were, well not much of now would have even happened.
On one hand he had a crazy sense of humour, and a strong will to lead. On the other hand he uses discipline. But most of all he had the willingness to ------ communicate. I remember that we used to listen to each other a lot. He was the example I had back then that I need now... because I seem to have forgotten.
If I could, I would trade all the things I know and have now in return for having him back just to remember again what good communication is. Just so I didn't have to turn out being the one who screws up all the time and if not then the one who gets a finger pointed at each time something goes wrong in a relationship between me and someone else.
Because it's not easy. It really isn't. And it's tiring to always be the person who gets pushed around into things. Always have to initiate, always have to get the ball rolling, always have to be the one who takes the first step. Despite that I'm trying to see it in a positive way, in a way that it should be like a compliment when someone thinks I'm good enough to lead, right? Whoa. Shouldn't I be flattered? Yes I am to some point. I get the idea. But man... it's like holding a smile for a camera that never takes the damn picture. Disappointing.
Perhaps that's also my problem... that I somehow wait to be acknowledged when the reality is that I don't need that sort of ego-boosting-things to feel good about myself. So why can't I just be at peace with being under the pressure?
And why is contact with other humans so sought after yet is so useless after sometime when it only ends up in shit after shit?
Before I derail, my thoughts once again go out to Abah for being the person who taught me many good things in the best way a child could understand. I remember him as this young man who was always unpredictable and full of surprises. Who made jokes out of nothing and making one laugh without offending anyone else. He hardly smiled but he was the most optimistic person I have in my memory. He was not perfect and I didn't like it when he was strict, or in a rage. But he made up for it. Even if he's gone though, I'll still remember that his blood's running in my very own veins. The same willingness to talk and listen.
I just have to remember.

The amount of genetic variation among and within tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) cultivars is an interest of geneticists and breeders. However, limited information is available on this. The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity of tall fescue germplasm based on RFLP data. Twenty-four probes from a tall fescue PstI-genomic library were hybridized to EcoRI- or HindIII-digested genomic DNA from nine turf and seven forage cultivars. Twenty plants per cultivar were individually analyzed. Results showed variation within cultivars was high, varied among cultivars and probes, and increased with the number of parental clones (PN) up to 10 and then plateaued, indicating additional genetic variation could not be detected in cultivars with more than 10 parents. The number of bands was significantly different among cultivars and related to the within-cultivar genetic diversity, but not to the PN. Probes not hybridizing to the P genome detected less variation. Genetic distances calculated from 4,8,12,16, and 20 plants were similar within cultivars, implying full random mating in tall fescue cultivar development. The between-cultivar genetic distances, however, decreased in larger sample sizes and became consistent when sample size reached 16 plants. Results suggested 16 randomly chosen plants was the minimum number to maintain adequate genetic diversity in these tall fescue cultivars. The associations of the 16 cultivars from cluster analysis agreed with available pedigree information. Turf cultivars tended to be clustered while forage cultivars were more divergent.

Selfies are everywhere these days, whether on social media or just as a way to remember the moments of everyday life. You're probably familiar with some of the celebrities who have dominated the art of selfies, but if you're hesitant to take your own selfie, try some of these tips for your perfect self-portrait.
Most people will try to emulate Kim Kardashian or Taylor Swift, not realizing that most celebrities have a team of social media experts to fix up each photo to look absolutely perfect (while still maintaining a casual air). Instead, try your natural smile and be true to who you are. Don't make silly hand gestures or try and get the perfect pout – you'll only look like you're trying too hard.
Similarly, know your angles. Taking a forward facing shot may be easiest while you get the hang of your camera, but for most people this is the least flattering pose available. Practice with test photos and look at yourself in the mirror to find the angles that best complement your features.
The lighting is so important when you're creating a setting. Try places with lower light to reduce shadows and glares, and always go for natural light when you can to make your skin and hair have natural highlights.
Remember, you won't take the perfect picture with one shot. Keep snapping away until you find the right one. Emulate your favorite supermodel and try different poses and movements; it will help you figure out your perfect pose, and you'll likely find that your best photos come from the most natural moments.
Creating the perfect selfie can be easy, no matter where you are. Just remember to act natural and optimize your features with good lighting, and you'll be on your way to success!

Info concerning Montana State University courses offered, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. You may be surprised that you can enroll for a full-time course load, without having to attend any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Montana State University class registration information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Montana State University.
Research demonstrates that college freshman taking a full courseload go on to complete their degrees at a much higher rate than those students who study part-time. When choosing a major, plan ahead and be sure that you are picking courses that will meet transfer requirements of other colleges and universities later on. Further, by choosing your major early, you may be able to take some required core classes in a community college, saving both time and tuition fees.
Look at all the schools in your state first, as in-state tuition may be lower for state residents. The course catalog will outline which classes are required for a particular major, and what minimum GPA you'll need to maintain your class standing. Please contact the academic advising staff at the school you are interested in applying to about their specific course registration guidelines. Beyond degree requirements such as Montana State University course registration, you may consider Ramapo College ACT code for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Activism is alive and well on college campuses, and it can be found in the locker room as well as the classroom.
The latest evidence came Saturday night when more than 30 black Missouri football players announced on Twitter that they will not participate in team activities until the university president is removed from office.
The players joined campus groups who have been protesting the way university President Tim Wolfe has dealt with issues of racial harassment during the school year. Jonathan Butler, a black graduate student, is in the seventh day (as of Sunday) of a hunger strike to call attention to the issue.

"If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs." ~ Theodore Roosevelt
Private Murders versus Government Murders
Submitted by Serenity on Tue, 2013-01-01 03:00
The December 14 murder of 20 children and 6 women at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, has garnered vast media attention and caused countless people with no connection to the victims to grieve for them. This is not a new phenomenon: nearly all mass murders carried out by civilians generate the same type of coverage and response.

QUICK FACTS Price From $40,000 (est) On sale April
Amid financial ruin, Chrysler has smartened up the 300C. But, asks Dimitri Pesin, has the big brute lost its distinctive appeal in the process?
t's crunch time for Chrysler. As it begins to gradually get back on its feet, creeping out of bankruptcy and gradually into the black, 2011 looks to be a crucial year for the brand once revered for being one of Detroit's heavy hitters. The rollercoaster ride of Daimler and Cerberus ownership is over. In its place comes Fiat and a raft of refreshed models. Among the first of these to arrive in the Middle East is the 300C. Coming six years after the original's 2005 launch, much hoopla has built up after the car's Detroit unveiling in January. Undoubtedly much of 34 WWW.AUTOCAR.AE MARCH 2011
it is to do with the fact that the old 300 was distinctly idiosyncratic; a brutish oddball with iconic style but more than a few rough edges. Despite borrowing from the mid'90s Mercedes-Benz parts bin, many remember it for its poor quality, where substance never matched the arresting style. So 2011's 300 has some catching up to do. And, at this first drive in San Diego, California, the 300's heads of design and engineering promise that this time they've got it right; that this time the 300 matches the likes of the BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and Mercedes E-Class.
Gangsta proportions remain, but new 300C is less brash than predecessor
Chrysler 300C | First Drive
Cabin layout has been subtly updated, and better quality materials are used throughout
Rear quarters are comfortable and spacious, but small glasshouse means visibility isn't the best
gear, while the cool blues of the dials match the backlighting of all the buttons. The centre console is dominated by a large 8.4in touchscreen that houses a supremely fast and intuitive infotainment system (as well as familiar Garmin sat nav) and the clock that sits atop it adds a touch of modernity. All the panels are more tightly screwed together too, and it feels like a classy place to be. It still lacks the solid quality of a European equivalent with a few evident sharp edges and rough, hard plastics in places (particularly in the doors) – but in terms of overall feel and fit-and-finish, it's an ◊

shaped in a 'C' within the headlight cluster, along with the rear lights that are neatly joined by a chrome strip and have a subtle touch of 1950s Americana tail fin about them. Just below, two exhaust pipes that fit flush in the rear bumper finish off the exterior updates. The interior is similarly pleasing on the eye. The feeling of space is retained through a design that carries a perception of width over height through the narrow glasshouse, and a dashboard that's slanted away from the driver, into the bonnet. Chrome highlights surround the faux wood and soft touch switch-
Luckily, that style has remained. It's now calmer, less brutal looking, yet just as muscular with the signature high-waistline/ long wheelbase/short overhangs combination. It's still an imposing saloon that wouldn't look out of place in The Sopranos, making a refreshing distraction from the more sedate Teutons it stands against. It's now a touch bigger in every dimension, and while the 300's standout chrome grille is smaller, it's still prominent, with a shapely, Bentley-like sculpture to it. There are some other neat touches in the LED daytime running lights that are

∆ improvement on the previous 300. As ever, roominess is the 300's strong point. Large seats front and rear complement the generous head and legroom that provides occupants with plenty of space, there's room to move around, the boot is capacious, and the dual-pane sunroof adds an airy feel to the cabin. Despite what the design overhaul seems to suggest, this isn't a secondgeneration car; it's more a reworked version of the old one. Underneath is the same architecture as the last 300, but it's been stiffened, sits lower to the ground and has tweaked suspension and wheel camber settings to improve its road manners. The 5.7-litre Hemi tested here is essentially the same as the last 300C's – just 3bhp and 7Nm healthier. It delivers its power in a linear and muscular – if muted – way. Chrysler says customers put comfort and refinement high on their priority list, so emphasis was put on NVH this time round. The added insulation means there's little road noise and even less mechanical intrusion into the cabin, making the new 300 a serene highway cruiser.

'Despite the 300C's large proportions, it's easy to place on the road and settles nicely for a two-tonne saloon'
Chrysler's 5.7-litre Hemi V8 is carried over, but outputs are bumped up slightly
Only the carryover five-speed auto (due to be replaced by an eight-speed ZF auto) lets it down by occasionally fumbling gears. On the open road, once you get over the lack of feedback from the helm, the steering becomes direct and responsive. Despite the 300's large proportions, it's easy to place on the road and settles nicely (or at least as nicely as a two-tonne saloon can) once you've gone through the initial body roll. It's a welcome improvement on the soggy, aloof nature of the old car. To achieve a balance between a comfortable and sporting ride, Chrysler benchmarked the 300 against a Lexus LS460 and BMW 5 Series – and the result is well-judged, if leaning more towards ◊
First Drive | Chrysler 300C
∆ the softer, limo side of things. Occasionally it floats as speed builds and the wide seats could do with more support, but in truth, the 300 isn't aimed at twisting backroads. By now, it's probably evident that the new 300C isn't the most complete car in its class. And yet, at the same time, it's also evident that it's now a far better car than the one it replaces
– better finished, more refined and more enjoyable to drive. In some ways it's almost as if the old 300 was just Chrysler's test run for the new car. Price-wise too, it continues to undercut most of the competition, while retaining its stand-out qualities of style, space and pace. Taken as a whole, the new 300C is now a far more appealing proposition. L

About the Song
"Make Believe It's Your First Time" is a song written by Bob Morrison and Johnny Wilson, and recorded by Bobby Vinton and by the popular group The Carpenters. Vinton's version entered the Billboard charts in late 1979 (b/w "I Remember Loving You") and reached #78 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #17 on the Adult Contemporary chart. It is Vinton's last Billboard Hot 100 entry to date. The Carpenters' version was also recorded in 1979 by Karen Carpenter as a track intended for her debut solo album, which was ultimately shelved until 1996, with the release of her eponymous album, Karen Carpenter. After Karen's death in 1983, the song and its B-side, "Look to Your Dreams," were included on the duo's first posthumous album, Voice of the Heart. The single was also their first posthumous single. The Carpenters were a vocal and instrumental duo, consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter..

About the Artist
The Carpenters were a vocal and instrumental duo, consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter. Though often referred to by the public as "The Carpenters", the duo's official name on authorized recordings and press materials is simply "Carpenters", without the definite article. During a period in the 1970s when louder and wilder rock was in great demand, Richard and Karen produced a distinctively soft musical style that made them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The Carpenters' melodic pop charted a record-breaking score of hit recordings on the American Top 40 and Adult Contemporary charts, becoming leading sellers in the soft rock, easy listening and adult contemporary genres. The Carpenters had three #1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and fifteen #1 hits on the Adult Contemporary Chart (see The Carpenters discography). In addition, they had twelve top 10 singles (including their #1 hits). To date, The Carpenters' album and single sales total more than 100 million units. During their fourteen-year career, The Carpenters recorded eleven albums, five of which contained top 10 singles (Close to You, Carpenters, A Song for.

The joy of reading piano notes
Music is said to be the best medicine developed by nature. The thought and feel is said to have the power to bring back the dead. While playing music gives you the joy you just cannot contain, same is the case with reading piano music sheets. After all, it is sheet music which tells you exactly how to play that favorite tune of yours. Many feel that reading piano music sheets is an ardent task. Well, this is exactly where are all wrong. It is certainly not the case that one glance and you will understand what is written in that sheet music. But it is certainly not as difficult as expected!

I'm often asked
to calculate
the optimal pricing
for new products
- the pricing which maximizes profit.
I base this calculation
on the behavior of
a TYPICAL product.
A typical product
would sell X units
when priced at Y dollars
and that gives us Z profit.
The product has to be typical.
THAT is key.
It has to behave
like the other products available.
Often our products
AREN'T typical.
I know, for example,
I could charge
another dollar per romance novel.
That's what a typical romance novel
in my niche
charges to maximize profit.
I also know
I plan to write 20 plus stories
in that series.
That's not typical.
An extra dollar charged
on a 20 novel series
will decrease readership substantially.
There is no perfect pricing
for everyone.
Calculate the perfect pricing
for YOUR business.

Party just starting for ballers
Second half brings new challenges - Hockey team enters new year undefeated
2001's fearless forecast
By Ryan Dixon
Sports Editor
The sporting year of 2000 was highlighted by a subway series, a grocery bagger turned Super Bowl MVP and a Tiger that nobody could tame. What will the world of sports do for an encore? Let's take a look into the crystal ball:
First things first, the National Hockey League can not help but be better simply because of the return of Mario Lemieux. Besides making Jaromir Jagr a shoe-in to come back and win the scoring title, #66 could make the Penguins contenders, if he can convince Craig Patrick to find a real goalie.
-While we're on the topic of owner/players, why not get Wayne Gretzky back in the game. Phoenix might even be able to win a play-off series with the Great One in the line-up
-The Rams may have not been able to hold up their end of the bargain when it comes to a SuperBowl rematch, but don't worry about the Tennessee Titans. They are poised to claim the big game with a victory over, lets say Minnesota.
Twelve and oh so fine. The Western Mustangs men's hockey team is carrying an undefeated regular season record into the new year and something tells me they may be able to run the table and keep the goose egg in the loss column. This team did not beat teams in the first half, they demolished them.
$252 million is approaching the GNP of some countries on this earth. How can Texas Rangers fans ever expect to see full value for what their team is paying shortstop Alex Rodriguez. Want to know something, he is not even the best player available at his position. Derek Jeter is a big time post-season performer and has three World Series rings enough said.
Tiger Woods will give everyone a thrill by threatening to win the Grand Slam of golf in one season. After taking the Masters, US and British Opens by a combined total of 35 strokes, Woods will just fall short at the PGA Championship by one shot. Who will be the brave soul that tames the Tiger you ask? Why Canada's own Mike Weir of course.
Toronto, New Jersey, Dallas and Colorado will form the final four in the NHL play-offs. The Cup will once again find its way to Colorado, but not before a tough six game battle with the Devils.
After winning the cup, Colorado will take the customary trip to the White House. After captain Joe Sakic makes a speech about how much the Avalanche feel privileged to present the cup at the White House, new President George W. Bush will respond 'It sure is shiny!'
The Yankee dynasty will finally be derailed. Their cross town rivals, the Mets, will land big game pitcher David Wells from the Blue Jays and that will be enough to put them over the top in the subway series rematch with the Yanks
The Toronto Raptors should come on strong in the second half and might be good for a play-off upset if Vince Carter can display the same heroics in the play-offs that he delivers on a regular basis during the season.
Sports fans everywhere will continue to get poorer and fatter, as ticket prices continue to rise and alcohol remains a mainstay at any sporting event.
Let the games begin.

Tuesday November 8th sees World Radiography Day take place across the globe, with the UK's Society and College of Radiographers set to celebrate the event.
World Radiography Day marks the anniversary of the first ever X-ray image, which was captured by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. The discovery of X-radiation is attributed to Roentgen, whose achievement is celebrated with events and activities designed to raise awareness of the work today's radiographers do on November 8th each year.
Thanks to technology, X-ray techniques are advancing rapidly, meaning radiography remains an exciting, innovative field for healthcare workers in the 21st century, despite celebrating its 121st birthday this year.
One of the main aims of the global awareness day is to increase the general public's knowledge of the benefits that diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy can have for their health, with X-rays used to detect everything from bone fractures to cancerous tumours.
For example, patients may not necessarily know the difference between a diagnostic radiographer - who would tend to specialise in taking X-ray images of bones, teeth or foreign objects that may have entered the body - and radiotherapy radiographers. The latter typically specialise in screening patients' bodies for images indicating that cancer is present, before providing assistance in delivering targeted radiotherapy treatment to tackle the disease.
This year's event needs to focus on striking the right balance between raising awareness of the capabilities of radiographers and educating the public on when X-rays are unnecessary, as research published by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges last month revealed too many needless X-rays are being carried out, costing the NHS precious time, money and resources.
Speaking to BBC News, Professor Dame Sue Bailey, chairwoman of the organisation, stated: "What we've got is a culture of 'we can do something, therefore we should do something', and we need to stop and reflect and decide what is the best option for the patient in their individual circumstances."

Cubs' legend Andre Dawson was just inducted into the Hall of Fame. That is awesome. "The Hawk" had one of the most demolishing swings of all time. He played the game hard and overcame serious knee problems to become a Hall of Famer.
Congrats Hawk- you're the man!
(Now we'll have to figure out if Mark Grace can get in as well...)

I stopped counting the hours that I've worked on this blanket but I finished it yesterday and I really think it turned out great. It has its flaws and it's not perfect but my niece will love it anyway. :-)
I stopped counting the hours that I've worked on this blanket but I finished it yesterday and I really think it turned out great. It has its flaws and it's not perfect but my niece will love it anyway. :-)
It's almost done. Quilting took way more time than I thought it would.
AFTER I cut the edges and realized that the copy in the Dick & Jane block in the 5th row will be half covered by the binding. #!$!# argh. This bothers me now.
For the next quilt I'll be so much more prepared and alert…
After spending hours of cutting out the pieces I sew them all together. Not much of a problem actually even though the pieces were all uneven. So I just placed them together so that they at least look right and sew my day away. Took me 5 hours. This took all my concentration and thoughts that I totally forgot to eat. Anyway. This is what came out
Yeah.. today I learned that I've pressed the seams wrong. Don't care. Nobody will see this :-)
Then I added some Kurt Halsey bird and fireflies iron-ons for later embroidery. The patterns come from Sublime Stitching. It's a simple iron-on that you cut out before and place on the fabric. Press. Done.
The outcome after 2 hours
Sometime this week then I will handquilt the 3 pieces together. Stay tuned :-)
Yesterday evening I couldn't resist starting to cut out the pieces for the top. Right. First idiocy that happened was that somehow the blocks of the Dick & Jane fabric were NOT ALL the same size. So the piece that I measured BEFORE calculating the sizes of the other pieces were NOT the same size of the other blocks. Actually it was the ONLY one not being the same size as the rest. After thinking about it I decided not to freak out but just leave the block as is and accept that it will be a little bit smaller than the rest. Who cares?! (ok, maybe Martha Stewart does…. ). But nevertheless I had to adjust the hight of the rest of the blocks. Then I realized that the pink fabric kinda deformed after washing. The edges weren't even anymore. It was a hassle cutting the pieces and while cutting I could tell they'd become misshaped. I really  hope I can fix it somehow when I sew them together later today (my enthusiasm is slowly fading).
Furthermore I realized I didn't consider the pieces of the patchwork blocks in my yardage so now I have to return to the store again to get some more fabric for the binding (that is ok though). I have no idea WHY but when I put the pieces together after cutting they didn't quite fit together. Oh my…. this turns out to be more difficult than I thought and now I know why quilted things you can buy somewhere are so freakin' expensive. You pay for blood, sweat and tears as well. :-)
This is the result
Now that I'm looking at it I don't know if the white of the D&J fabric really looks good. But I will not change it now.
And if all this isn't enough to deal with – my tailor's chalk fell down the table and broke. Great…
At least I know what to tell my mom this year when she asks me what I want for christmas. A class where I can learn how to cut fabric straight and properly….
Stay tuned for part 3.
My baby niece asked me for a soft blanket that keeps her warm and protected. Her wish is my demand and so I'm going to make my first quilt. I do have some sewing experience but I've never done anything bigger than Amy Butlers Gum Drop Pillows or cosmetic bags for my girls. Sometime last year I bought this great Dick & Jane fabric and this is the perfect opportunity to use it. But actually this was my first and only idea regarding fabrics. This week I ordered some chocolate brown fleece with polka dots for the back. Yesterday I searched the net for nice matching fabrics and was dissatisfied with what I've found because I couldn't look and feel before buying. This morning I decided to go to this little store in the town where I used to live and made the best shopping experience EVER. The ladies at Stoffwerk are friendly, helpful and do perfect consulting when you're a bloody beginner just as I am. She helped me choosing two matching fabrics after she brewed me a cup of coffee. Furthermore (and that was the sweetest thing) she explained and showed me how to bind the quilt. Took 2 pieces of scrap fabric, sewed it and gave it to me for reference. Isn't that lovely. I will NEVER again order anything from the net just to help to keep this store alive. I can't tell how grateful I am for the helpful tips and tricks she gave me. It's written in all of my books but that was better than any book can ever explain.
Here is what I've got
The Dick & Jane fabric is separated in several image blocks. I will use four of them (without the blue/white background). Here's my plan that I've made to have a better understanding on how it will be and how much fabric I need (M is for the D&J block)
I pray to all sewing gods available that I'll be able to do this properly and without any major problems. The lady at the store told me to come back anytime should problems occur.
Look at the scrap fabric she gave me for binding reference so I don't mess it up at home
I really recommend this store to anyone I know and wish more stores would treat their customers like they do. That is truly special.
Now I'll prewash the new fabric and tomorrow I will sew the patchwork blocks and maybe maybe the whole top as well. Let's see. This will be an adventure. Stay tuned for part 2.

If you're an Entrepreneur, then odds are you have to be closing sales in order to keep your business running forward. If you're a rookie when it comes to sales, or just looking to refresh your already existing sales skills, I suggest checking out this article.
My personal belief is that there are 3 main, and important factors that goes into obtaining money and keeping it -
- Your language, spirituality, and attitude towards money.
- Your Management of money.
- Your Action towards receiving money.
At some point last year I was up in the middle of the night wasting time on the Internet said to myself, "I'm so good at just playing around online, I should get paid for it." I started to ask myself how are all these websites online are making money.
Well, after months of research, and implementing what I learned, I've came up for a step by step process on how to "Make Money in My Underwear."
I apologize for anyone who just visualized that, but seriously, What if you could replace your income through social media?
Today I'm trying something different. I created a video on how to create a custom email address and then configure that email address to work in GMail.

The making of a Guerrillero Heroico
Chevolution: The story of one of the most famous photographs ever taken is told in a new film.
Chevolution tells the story of one of the most iconic, and most reproduced, photographs in the world. Alberto 'Korda' Díaz Gutiérrez's Guerrillero Heroico image of Che Guevara is instantly recognisable yet it has become largely divorced from its origins, and perhaps even Guevara's. It is a surprise to discover, for example, that despite the revolutionary's posed stance, the photograph is in fact a snapshot, taken by Korda at a memorial service for the victims of the La Coubre explosions in Havana in 1960. As Korda's daughter explains in the film, the photographer was able to capture just two frames before Che disappeared from view. One of these was the shot that has gone on to be described as 'the Mona Lisa of photography'.
Using the photograph as a centrepiece, Chevolution explains the political situation in Cuba at the time it was taken. Through both eye-witness accounts and commentary from historians, we learn of Castro's awareness of the power of photography as a tool for propaganda, and of how all the major photographers in the country began taking images of the revolutionaries for the newspapers. Korda turned away from fashion, where he had made his name, and dedicated his life to the revolution, travelling with Castro and taking some of the first shots of Guevara. His background in fashion photography played its part in the story of his most famous photograph, however, for it led Korda to make an expert crop of the original image, removing extraneous details such as a male figure and the leaves of a plant that intrude on the edges of the scene. The epic qualities of the image were immediately enhanced, with the crop releasing the photograph from a particular time and place and moving it into the arena of portraiture or art, rather than photojournalism.
Its potential wasn't immediately recognised however, even by Korda. According to his daughter, when it was first taken he saw it as "just another shot" and it wasn't even published in the newspapers at the time. Consequently there is some uncertainty as to when it first appeared though it quickly began to be used as a semi-official portrait in articles on Guevara after he disappeared in 1965, and use of the shot rocketed after his death (where photography once again enhanced his mythical status, with the Christ-like pose seen in photos of his dead body adding to the idea of him as a martyr). From this point in the film we see the slow separation of Korda's image from the reality of its subject.
Even before Che's death the possibilities of the image were recognised, with the photograph published as a poster by the Milanese publisher Feltrinelli and distributed across Europe just before he was killed. At this stage the first signs of how both the photograph and Korda may go on to be exploited are exposed, with Feltrinelli not crediting the photographer on the poster (apparently this was typical of the times, however) and Korda receiving no money from sales.
In many ways, the story of Korda's photograph then goes on to be a salutary tale of the complicated issues surrounding copyright law. Following Guevara's death, it quickly became a symbol of political activism, with both his style and determined expression chiming perfectly with the tumultuous events of the end of the 1960s. While this usage of the photograph may have met with both Korda and Che's approval, it wasn't long before the financial possibilities of the image were recognised and it began to be appropriated by those with more capitalist than revolutionary goals.
It is dizzying to see in the film the various iterations of its use over the last few decades, with Che's face appearing on everything from mugs and T-shirts to bikinis.
As Cuba had no copyright laws at the time, Korda could only look on as his image changed shape and meaning far away from any reality of Guevara and his ideals, and make a lot of other people an awful lot of money. By the late 1990s though he did gain copyright for the use of that one image, which since his death in 2001 has been managed by his daughter. She argues strongly that the decision to invoke copyright of the photograph was solely due to it being used to promote inappropriate products, such as alcohol and cigars. But this is quietly questioned by the filmmakers when items such as badges and hipflasks are shown to have been approved by the Korda estate, and when it is revealed that the Guevara family's request that the photo be nationalised and used as a free image representing Cuba was contested in court by the Korda estate, which won. The film also intelligently explores the fact that the copyright-free nature of the image will have helped in its proliferation through interviews with artists Jim Fitzgerald and Shepard Fairey (who is currently caught in his own copyright mire, with the photographer of the image used on his hugely popular Obama poster).
All of these contradictions also contribute to the enduring nature of Guerrillero Heroico. As Chevolution documents, over the 50 years since it was taken it has achieved the ability to slip across political, social and cultural borders and has grown beyond either Korda or even Guevara himself. While for some it will always conjure up the violence that Che perpetrated in the name of revolution, for many it is simply a mainstream image representing mild rebellion. Instead of retaining the complexity of a human being, Che Guevara the man has been elevated to a myth. It seems hard to believe that this status would have been achieved without Korda's image, and what Chevolution demonstrates above all is that when it comes to myth-building, having the correct image is crucial.
Chevolution, directed by Luis Lopez and Trisha Ziff, is showing daily at the ICA in London until October 7. It features interviews with, among others, Gerry Adams, Antonio Banderas, Tom Morello and Shepard Fairey. ICA, 12 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AH.

Becoming a professional film actor is a very difficult process. Improvisation allows movie actors true expressive freedom, since they themseleves don't know how the situation is going to turn out. In professional acting, improv is also used to cover up momentary lapses, so the audience isn't startled. The actor?s performance is mediated by particular performance signs including facial expression, emotion, and vocabulary.
Classical acting is an umbrella term for a philosophy of acting that integrates the expression of the body, voice, imagination, improvisation and script analysis. Method acting by comparison, is a range of techniques based on for training movie actors to achieve better characterizations of the characters they play. Part of the training includes actors memorizing lines and therefore being able to work without a movie script. Other acting classes may include mask work, improvisation, and showing emotion for the camera. Beyond consideration for Medaille College film classes online, you may think about Brunswick Community College discussion sections for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Brush Hollow
Marlton, New Jersey
Brush Hollow is located off Willow Bend Road and Evans Road near Cherokee High School. Built in the mid-1970's by Chiusano Builders, most homes feature 3-4 bedrooms, a living room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, family room with a wet bar and a basement. The central location within the town is highly coveted. Main Street, schools, parks and shopping are all within walking distance. Proximity to hospitals, the Promenade shoppes and restaurants is also a PLUS-factor!
The residents of Brush Hollow are all welcome to attend monthly meetings of the Civic Association. A board of directors consists of four officers and seven additional board members. Monthly meetings are held at nearby eateries.
The Brush Hollow Civic Assocation plans activities for the enjoyment of all residents. Children are invited to attend Halloween and other holiday parties where the kids participate in games and fun activities. The annual block party and holiday trolley ride are open to the entire family. Adult-only parties are scheduled several times each year as well.
In addition to all the planned entertainment, the civic association also "gives back" to the community. Association members host a periodic Road Cleanup along Willow Bend Road which borders the neighborhood. Several scholarships are awarded each year to qualifying graduating seniors in the community. The annual yard sale is held each Mother's Day weekend and all residents are encouraged to participate. Those items not sold can be donated to a local charity and will be picked up by the charity truck.
The Lamplighter, a newsletter, is published and delivered to all member residents. The newsletter consists of articles, advertising, meeting schedule and minutes, upcoming events and general information pertinent to the neighborhood. All residents are encouraged to contribute to the published content of the newsletter as well as urged to submit advertising of their local business or services.
Membership dues are collected each fall. An $8.00 annual fee is charged to residents to help defray the cost of publishing the Lamplighter newsletter.

alcoholics Writers Who Died of Alcoholism
Many writers of the 20th Century - worryingly, many of them American - struggled with alcohol addiction. There is debate among some as to whether these addictions added to their greatness or were simply a numbing agent for other problems in their lives. It offers a different perspective on the worlds they create, such as that of The Great Gatsby. Is the scene Fitzgerald paints a celebration of the richness of life or a dark reflection of his own struggles?
With the glittering lifestyle that these writers lead when they reached fame, it is unsurprising that they were confronted with temptation that led to their disease. This list acknowledges the deaths of those great writers who died of alcoholism, along with their most famous works.

Canada Law
Ask a Canada Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
I am sorry to hear this.
But what is you question? I don't see one here.
Yes she can leave the country when she is pregnant and there is nothing you can do to stop her.
If the child is born in Canada then you can stop her from removing the child.
But even if the child is living in Mexico you can go before a Court in Mexico to seek an order for custody or access. But to find out about how that works you would need to consult with a lawyer in Mexico.
There is no one to call. She has the legal right to live where she wants to and until the baby is born you have no right over the baby. If you can convince to remain until the baby is born then that would change everything.

Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program Operator Performance Metrics for Control Room Modernization: A Practical Guide for Early Design Evaluation
As control rooms are modernized with new digital systems at nuclear power plants, it is necessary to evaluate the operator performance using these systems as part of a verification and validation process. There are no standard, predefined metrics available for assessing what is satisfactory operator interaction with new systems, especially during the early design stages of a new system. This report identifies the process and metrics for evaluating human system interfaces as part of control room modernization. The report includes background information on design and evaluation, a thorough discussion of human performance measures, and a practical example of how the process and metrics have been used as part of a turbine control system upgrade during the formative stages of design. The process and metrics are geared toward generalizability to other applications and serve as a template for utilities undertaking their own control room modernization activities.

Bentley Continental R
|Also called
|Continental S Continental T
|Continental GT

|4-sp 4L80-E automatic
|120.5 in (3,061 mm)
|210.3 in (5,342 mm)
|80.5 in (2,045 mm)
|57.6 in (1,463 mm)
|Kerb weight
|5,340 lb (2,420 kg)
|Bentley Mulsanne Bentley Azure
The Bentley Continental R is a large, expensive, luxury coupé made by Bentley from 1991 to 2002. It was the first Bentley to feature a body not shared with a Rolls-Royce model since the S3 of 1965, the first to use the GM 4L80-E transmission, and the quickest, most expensive, and most powerful Bentley of its day. A convertible derivative, the Bentley Azure, was launched in 1995.
Many elements of the Continental R design were first seen at the 1984 Geneva Motor Show in Rolls-Royce's "Project 90" concept car, a mock-up of a future Bentley coupé. An enthusiastic reception led the company to develop the vehicle for production as the Continental R 1991. Based on the Bentley Turbo R floorpan, an aerodynamically shaped coupé body had been styled. The Continental debuted at the 1991 Geneva Motor Show, and the Sultan of Brunei purchased the show car on-site.
The "Continental" designation recalls the Bentley Continental of the post-war period. The "R" was meant to recall the R Type Bentleys from the 1950s as well as the Turbo R of the 1980s.
The car's body, styled by John Heffernan and Ken Greenley, was a departure for the marque. It had a slight curvature in stark contrast to the flat-sided Rolls-Royce and Bentley vehicles of the time. While its 0.465 coefficient of drag was not impressive in itself, it was a large improvement over previous Bentleys. The Continental R also featured roof-cut door frames,a subtle spoiler effect in the rear, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
Continental R
The 6.75 L Garrett-turbocharged engine from the Bentley Turbo R was chosen for use in the Continental R. Power output of 325 hp (242 kW) and torque of 450 lb·ft (610 N·m) was estimated, as Rolls-Royce refused to supply official figures.
The car used the new 4-speed GM 4L80-E automatic transmission and featured ventilated disc brakes in the front wheels. Top speed was 145 mph (233 km/h), and Rolls-Royce estimated a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 6.6 seconds. The Continental R was priced at US$271,780 in 1992.
The Continental S was a limited-edition performance model made in 1994 and 1995 with an intercooler added. Only thirty seven were produced, after which the intercooler was made available in the Continental R. This engine had an estimated 385 horsepower, up 60 from the non-intercooled version, and 0-60 times improved to 6.1 seconds.
The Continental R California Edition was a limited edition of 6 wide body coupes produced in 1998 only. Other than the California Editions one other wide body was made in 1998. Number six only was fitted with the full-spec Continental T engine that just became available in 1998 with some 420 hp (313 kW) and a maximum torque of 650 lb·ft (881 N·m). This car was the first Continental R fitted with the 420 engine, and the only one under English ownership. The larger dual-caliper brakes were also fitted to number six as well as numerous other features that later were incorporated into the 2000-2003 Continental R420 including push button start, eight gauges, and other unique features. Perhaps number six was the inspiration for the later R420, both of which performed similarly to the Continental R Mulline
The Continental R Mulliner model range, offered from March 1999, was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show. The Bentley Continental R Mulliner was equipped with the most powerful engine after the Continental T. This engine had a power output of 420 hp (313 kW) and a maximum torque of 650 lb·ft (881 N·m). The car could be pushed to a top speed of some 170 mph (274 km/h). 0-60 mph (97 km/h) times dropped to 5.6 seconds with the computer nannies left on, and if an owner was willing to shred their tires for 50 or more yards, capable of 5.1 second times with the traction control off and abusive driving practices.
Under German ownership (1999–2003), several other special editions were made with at least some of them fitted with the 420 engine including the Le Mans and Continental R420 and Millenium. A total of 194 Continental R motor cars had the 420 engine—some of which were also wide body cars. The 420 engine was achieved with the replacement of the air-to-air charge cooler with an air-to-water unit, as well as software changes to take advantage of the greater cooling to allow more boost for a longer period.
Continental T
The high-performance Bentley Continental T brought sportier handling and higher power to the Continental range.
The Bentley Continental T had 590 lb·ft (800 N·m) and from 1997 650 lb·ft (881 N·m) positioned this car at the top. The Continental T was a 2+2 coupé developed from the Bentley Continental R with a more athletic outward appearance due to a 4-inch (10 cm) shorter wheelbase and extended front and rear wheel arches. The interior featured an engine-turned dash with chrome-finished instruments (as opposed to the wood finish in the Continental R). The Continental T's engine responded to a separate push-button starter. Performance, due to 200 lb (91 kg) less weight, was slightly better than the Continental R cars with the same 420 engine.
The Bentley Continental T Mulliner was introduced in 1999. Modified shock absorbers in combination with stiffer torsion bars (front +40%, rear +20%) increased the Continental's handling ability.
Continental SC Sedanca
The Continental SC Sedanca was a short production version of the Continental T of 73 units, with a lift-out glass sun roof over the front two seats. Produced in 1999, owners for this model included boxer Mike Tyson. There were also six Mulliner SC's built.

I recently just finished rewriting a screenplay I had optioned. It was the second draft I turned in, and the last one I was contracted to do, so I don't know if I'll be involved with the pre-production process as it moves toward a (tentative) shooting schedule for next winter. But as of now, I'm done with the script until further notice.
As such, I've outlined the plans for my next projects. I have three feature scripts I'll be working on for the next few months -- I like to have a few things going so if I get bogged down or bored with one script I can get the juices flowing with another that already been worked for a bit. Each script has different purposes for me writing it and unfortunately (some would say), none of them are really spec script material. But I'm still working a bit on finding a comfort zone with what stories I want to write and can write versus having pipe dreams of writing the next Inception or being a Tarantino-wannabe.
Since I'm still working on the outlines and pre-writing, there aren't much for details, but here's what I have for the scripts.
