How To Create a Patterned Chalkboard Refrigerator
My dear friends Megan and Kit spent the majority of last year traveling the world on separate adventures. Now back in Brooklyn, the two are revamping their apartment and ready to take on some much needed home improvement projects. First up? The kitchen. As I'm no stranger to extreme patterned painting projects, I jumped at the chance to lend a hand by designing an updated look for their dingy, old refrigerator.
If there's one thing I know all to well from my time living in New York, it's that having a landlord who "just doesn't care" can sometimes be quite the blessing for those of us who love the DIY lifestyle. Such is the case with Megan and Kit, whose landlord basically gives them free reign to do whatever they want with their space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Inspired by the decorated refrigerators she's seen in various shelter publications, Megan really wanted to do something similar with her old appliance — a highly visible eye-sore which stands out in the alcove kitchen. Because it is visible from the living room, it was important that the new design work well with the existing mauve tiling and teal paint color throughout the apartment. After sitting down and sketching out a couple of ideas, we settled on outfitting her fridge with chalkboard paint in a bold, chevron pattern. As luck would have it, Rust-oleum makes a chalkboard base that is tintable in twelve different colors. Though we were really attracted to the idea of a bright red or blue chalkboard refrigerator, we knew the "Moonstone" gray option would work perfectly with the apartment's current color scheme and even tie in that ghastly kitchen tile.
Over the course of a couple of weekend afternoons we transformed Megan and Kit's icebox from a frigid nightmare into a dreamy showpiece - and the result was actually quite easy (and fun) to achieve. Under the influence of Megan's awesome record collection, we laughed and jived our way through every step of the process. Stream my digital version of Megan's vinyl soundtrack on Grooveshark.com and follow the steps below to help transform your appliance in need...just take a tip from The Kinks and "Don't forget to dance."
What You Need
- • Screw driver
• Painter's tape
• Fine grit sandpaper
• Work cloth
• 1 quart Rust-oleum Chalkboard Tint Base
• 1 quart tinted indoor primer
• A small amount of white, flat finish latex paint (for creating color variation)
• 1 dense foam roller
• 1 sponge brush
• Paint tray (with tray liners for easy cleanup)
• Contact paper
• Scissors
• Pencil
• Tape measure
• Straight edge
• A groovy playlist
1. Using a screw driver, remove door handles from refrigerator and cover all possible exposed hardware with painter's tape. Open the doors and tape off the insides of the interior frame and back of doors for a clean, finished look.
2. Clear the exterior and sand the surface with fine grit sandpaper, making sure to smooth down any residue from stickers or grime that may exist. Wipe surface clean with work cloth.
3. Prime the entire surface of the refrigerator, first cutting-in around all hard-to-reach corners and edges using a sponge brush. Use a dense foam roller to finish priming the entirety of the surface, making sure to apply primer evenly and avoiding drips in corners and on edges. Allow 30 minutes to 1 hour for primer to dry.
4. Repeat step three with Chalkboard Tint Base and apply a second coat. (The paint should be dry to the touch in 30 minutes, however directions for the Rust-oleum product recommends waiting 4 hours before applying another layer.) Tip: Expedite the drying process with a hair dryer set to a cool air temperature - especially useful in nooks and crannies.
5. For the next step, you will need to create a zig-zag pattern which you will use to mark out shapes on the refrigerator. Cut a piece of contact paper the exact same width as your refrigerator doors. For our project, we decided on a bold zig-zag with a triangle shape that repeats three times. To do this, divide the width by 6 and, using your straight-edge, draw a grid of squares: 6 across, 3 down. Create the chevron pattern by drawing 3 zig-zag lines from corner to corner across the width of the paper. This will yield one pattern plus a backup, just in case. Carefully cut out both patterns and discard excess contact paper. (We used contact paper because the grid on the back made measuring easier, but you can also use cardboard or poster board as long as you are precise with your calculations.)
6. Beginning at the top of the refrigerator and working your way down, hold the pattern smoothly against the surface and lightly trace the edges and corners. Whether you choose to trace the entire pattern or just create minimal markings, do what makes the most sense to you as this will be the guide for your painters tape. Repeat the pattern down the entire length of the refrigerator.
7. Tape off every other zig-zag, cutting the painter's tape with scissors to create sharp edges for the peaks of each triangle. Use a meticulous eye with the application of each strip of painter's tape and firmly press down all edges to ensure there will be no bleeding. Whenever possible, avoid scratching the surface with your nails.
8. Pour 1/3 quart Chalkboard Tint Base into a fresh paint tray and gradually add a very small amount of white latex paint, stirring until you reach a desired, lighter shade of color.
9. Using a sponge brush, fill in the area of each zig-zag you taped off in step 7, applying two coats. (Tip: To avoid bleeding when creating shapes with painters tape, apply a very light first coat with brush strokes that go from the outside of the shape to the inside.) Allow several hours for paint to dry and, again, go over edges with a hair dryer set on cool for good measure.
10. Carefully and slowly remove all painters tape, again avoiding scratching the surface with your nails whenever possible.
11. Rust-oleum recommends allowing the paint to cure for 3 days and then preparing the surface for chalk by rubbing the side of chalk over the entire surface and erasing.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
DescriptionThe sperm whale is the largest of the toothed whales, with males growing up to 20 metres in length. It also has the largest brain of any living animal, and it was a sperm whale that was pitted against Captain Ahab in Herman Melville's classic novel, Moby Dick (2). Sperm whales have huge square heads, comprising almost a third of the total body length (2) (3); indeed the specific name macrocephalus means large head. Uniquely among cetaceans, the single blowhole is located on the left of the head rather than on the top (3) and so these whales are easily identified at a distance by their low, bushy spout, which is projected forward and slightly to the left (2). Further down the body toward the tail there is usually a large hump on the back, followed by a series of smaller bumps (3). The dark brown to bluish-black skin, which is splotched and scratched, is said to have a texture like that of a plum stone (2) (3). Males tend to be somewhat larger and heavier than females (3), and have larger heads in relation to their body size (6). The huge heads of sperm whales contain a large cavity, the spermaceti organ, filled with a waxy liquid called spermaceti oil. This wax can be cooled or heated, possibly by water sucked in through the blowhole, and thus shrinks and increases in density (helping the whale sink), or expands and decreases in density (helping the whale rise to the surface) (5). Whalers likened the substance to semen, and this is the origin of the common name of the species (6).

Meet the Narcos
Mexico's drug cartels have terrible marketing skills. The government hopes it stays that way.
Read more about America's dysfunctional relationship with Mexico.
Severed heads rolled into a packed nightclub. A headless body found hanging from a bridge. An army general tortured and killed. An anti-kidnapping expert kidnapped. Banners on highway overpasses threatening assassination of police officers. Dissolved bodies discovered in vats of acid. Women and children killed in shootouts. This is not exactly the best way to capture the hearts and minds of a nation that is making international headlines because of its gruesome drug violence.
Last year, drug-related violence in Mexico claimed an unprecedented 6,200 lives—more than double the previous annual death count—and the power and wealth of the cartels are raising anxieties on both sides of the border. But at least for now, the Mexican government and U.S. law-enforcement agencies are dealing with an enemy hobbled by terrible marketing skills. Things could get far worse if the cartels ever develop a sense of media savvy and develop a more winsome Robin Hood narrative to justify their criminal enterprise. They could portray the drug trade as a means of taking money from greedy gringos and bringing it home to help Mexico.
There is a storied history of charismatic outlaws, from old-school mafia bosses to Colombia's Pablo Escobar, who ostentatiously shared his drug-smuggling wealth. And in Mexico, masked Subcomandante Marcos, the leader of the Zapatista insurgency of the mid-1990s, positioned himself as a mysterious media celebrity. Perhaps if they took a break from killing one another, Mexico's drug traffickers would come to realize that violence alone has limits as a form of effective propaganda.
The Mexican government is trying to make the cartels' top capos better-known by offering handsome rewards for information that could help apprehend them. And Mexicans are beginning to notice that whenever an American dignitary pays a visit, local authorities suddenly manage to locate and detain some of the country's most-wanted drug traffickers.
Hillary Clinton's March 24 visit came a day after the arrest of Hector Huerta Rios, one of Mexico's 37 most-wanted drug traffickers. A joint visit by Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and Attorney General Eric Holder on April 3 coincided with the spectacular, bullet-free arrest of Vicente Carrillo Leyva—the suave, well-dressed "narco junior" heir to the Carrillo Fuentes cartel, who was detained while jogging near his home in one of Mexico City's most exclusive neighborhoods.
The big question among conspiracy-minded locals: Who will the Mexican authorities magically arrest in time for President Barack Obama's visit to Mexico later this week?
The authorities could do a lot worse than Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, who comes closest to being a bona fide narco legend. Not only is Guzmán nowhere to be seen—he may not even be in Mexico. El Chapo ("Shorty") is listed in Forbes magazine's 2009 list of billionaires, based on his success in the multibillion-dollar cocaine-smuggling industry. Videos celebrating his audacity regularly show up on YouTube, and admiring musicians compose narcocorridos, or drug-trafficking ballads, in his honor.
The songwriting is more of a response to newspaper reports about drug traffickers than an outright celebration of the cartel bosses, says Elijah Wald, a music journalist and author of Narcocorrido: A Journey Into the Music of Drugs, Guns, and Guerrillas."The narcos have never been into public relations, they are just trying to make money, not get elected," he says. "As long as they can buy people off, they don't need the majority of the population."
The exact opposite of public relations, of course, is public terror. Over the last few months, the narcos have delivered their messages to locals and the national media with banners hung from bridges and church walls—anywhere they might be visible to the public—threatening to kill police. "The narcos really know how to exploit the media," says Javier Valdez, a reporter who covers drugs for the Riodoce weekly newspaper in Culiacán, the capital of Sinaloa. "These narco banners are terror campaigns."
El Chapo is one of the Mexican government's most-reviled public enemies, with a 30 million peso ($2.1 million) reward on offer for information on his whereabouts. The United States, for its part, also has Guzmán on its most-wanted list, offering $5 million for information leading to his capture.
Guzmán, the head of the Sinaloa Cartel, was exposed to drug trafficking from an early age, simply by being born and raised poor in the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa—a place that has long been the epicenter of Mexican drug-trafficking. Narcocorridos were first composed here, and Jesus Malverde, the Sinaloan Robin Hood who was hanged by the federal government in 1909, is often called the "Narco Saint"—the patron saint of drug trafficking. Religious trinkets with Malverde's image are very popular in Sinaloa—his face appearing everywhere from bracelets to painted "narco chic" fingernails.
A kind of "narco mythology" has risen around El Chapo. He is feared by his rivals in the Gulf and Beltran Leyva cartels but often admired by the underprivileged who have found work with, or have been enriched by, his smuggling operations. The Mexican government is fortunate that El Chapo and his cohorts haven't tried very hard to broaden this circle of beneficiaries from the drug trade.
Spotting El Chapo these days is only a little less improbable than an Elvis sighting, since the boss has been on the lam since 2001. El Chapo's career began with an apprenticeship of sorts: He is said to have learned the narco ropes in the 1980s as an aircraft logistics expert working with Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, aka El Padrino, the Godfather, then the most powerful narco in Mexico.
After Gallardo was imprisoned in 1989, El Chapo's own smuggling career began to take off. He masterminded ingenious smuggling tactics, from tunnels burrowed beneath the U.S. border to cocaine-filled compartments in his vehicles.
Two events in May 1993 would end Guzmán's run of good luck: the seizure of a big cocaine stash in Baja California and the assassination of a Catholic cardinal at Guadalajara airport—a hit that may have been aimed at Guzmán. After being apprehended on the way to Guatemala, Guzmán served a number of years in prison. In 2001, he escaped from Puente Grande, one of Mexico's highest-security prisons, allegedly by bribing his way into a laundry truck to freedom.
Prior to Felipe Calderón's election in 2006, drug cartels were accustomed to dealing with more docile governments that preferred to negotiate with them. Calderón's deployment of around 45,000 troops has not tamed the drug-smuggling beast; some observers argue that it has only stirred up a hornet's nest. Reprisals once principally took the lives of rival smugglers. Today, victims include these rivals, but also soldiers, policemen, and many innocent bystanders.
Infiltration by the cartels in all levels of government continues to pose a threat to Mexico's stability. In November 2008, no less an anti-drug figure than Noé Ramirez, the boss of the Mexican government's anti-narcotics operations, was detained for alleged links to drug-trafficking and for accepting a bribe of $450,000 to leak information to a drug cartel.
Yet for all the blood-drenched spectacle of new drug violence, there are signs that the newest wave of drug bosses are being groomed to operate under the radar, adopting quieter lifestyles and a lot less bling.
In Sinaloa, the narcos are not contributing as much as they once did toward the construction of schools, roads, cemetery walls, or for scholarships. "Before, when things were quieter, they had more time for philanthropy," says Valdez of Riodoce. "Today they are more worried—there are military operatives there now." Many are now on the run or fighting rival cartels with an unprecedented fervor, and the distraction of the military presence limits their direct contact with local people, Valdez says.
Weakened by the mounting death toll, some cartel leaders in Sinaloa have agreed to call a temporary truce, according to some drug experts. That theory is backed up by government figures showing a 49 percent drop in drug killings in Sinaloa in the first quarter of this year compared with the fourth quarter of 2008. "With the war [against rival cartels and the government], the cartels realized they were losing money, and while they were busy fighting each other, other smaller groups were taking advantage, making profits, and working on their own," Valdez says. "So this is a new kind of thinking, a very corporate, decision. … It is a business after all."
Alfredo Corchado, a Nieman fellow at Harvard University on leave from his job as Mexico bureau chief for the Dallas Morning News, agrees. "The narco ideology is making money. With money, they can buy and manipulate the public through threats. They can threaten the press or the public through terroristlike acts, scaring people into staying home. … All this takes money."
Each year, Mexican cartels make as much as $40 billion, Corchado says. "That's a lot of money that's eventually laundered into running their operations: co-opting officials or investing in projects. Their financial influence is vast. For that reason, cartels are still holding out for a possible truce with the government," he says. "The question remains: What does success look like for the Mexican government? That's what Mexicans are debating as the bodies pile up."
"Chapo has yet to bomb airliners out of the sky, so there is no comparison to Pablo Escobar," the notorious Colombian drug lord, Corchado adds. "But in terms of swaying locals, the two men are similar. Chapo seeks protection not just by corrupting key Mexican officials, he also needs the admiration of locals who will serve as his eyes and ears against government forces."
Few Mexicans can claim to have spotted the elusive Chapo. Four years ago, I missed this privilege by a few days, according to a waitress who served me at El Rancho, a packed establishment just outside the northern city of Nuevo Laredo. Apparently, had I visited two days earlier, I would have been one of hundreds of diners to drop their forks and gape as El Chapo and a phalanx of bodyguards swept into the restaurant. The diners were allegedly ordered to hand over their cell phones and refused permission to leave while El Chapo feasted on a leisurely lunch.
When El Chapo departed, the bodyguards were said to have returned the phones to the bewildered patrons, who then discovered that their bills had been paid. The Mexican government is lucky the drug lords haven't thought of giving out more free lunches; it would be a great PR move.

New Car Review Video
2014 Kia Sorento: New Car Review - Video
The midsize crossover segment continues to flood showrooms with shoppers, so keeping up with the competition is important to every manufacturer. That message hasn't been lost on Kia. And so the 2014 Kia Sorento comes with over 80 percent new or improved parts. Most of the changes are beneath its skin, and we think Kia should have given the Sorento a more eye-catching upgrade to the exterior styling to reflect the improvements underneath.
A Nice Interior Package
The latest style updates have taken a positive direction inside the Sorento. There's an extra helping of luxury with quality materials and an almost endless list of standard or optional features spread over four well-packaged trim levels.
Of those trims, the almost top-level Sorento SX is our favorite. It comes with Kia's UVO eServices along with an 8-inch touchscreen Navigation system and SiriusXM satellite radio. UVO is an optional feature as part of a package in the lower trims, but with its cutting-edge Google technology and advanced voice recognition, you should definitely consider getting it. It even has a Parking Minder that helps locate your parked Kia from your smartphone.
But the downside of having these neat features tied up into packages is that, if you're not careful, the price for a base-model Sorento LX could climb by up to $9,000, which could put it out of reach for value-minded shoppers.
Crossover Performance
The Sorento offers either 4- or 6-cylinder power with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder yields a respectable 191 horsepower, while the 3.3-liter V6 outputs a robust 290 hp. The only transmission is a 6-speed automatic. The V6, in particular, makes the Sorento quick and powerful, and with the chassis upgrades for 2014, the driving experience is responsive and entertaining.
And there's also an available Flex Steer system that gives the Sorento's new electric steering system three modes -- Normal, Sport or Comfort. We found Normal mode to work best. The other two are either too light or too heavy.
In terms of fuel economy, the 4- and 6-cylinder engines are not very far apart, yielding 20 miles per gallon city/26 mpg hwy and 18 mpg city/25 mpg hwy, respectably. Those figures are for front-wheel-drive models. All-wheel-drive mpg is slightly lower for each.
Sophisticated Value
With a base price of $24,100, the least-expensive Sorento is the front-wheel-drive LX trim that's fairly well-outfitted. The new luxury-equipped SX Limited with all-wheel drive is at the top of the heap and starts at $39,800, moving well into the 40s with options. The Honda CR-V, Mazda CX-5 and Toyota RAV4 are all worthy alternatives to the Sorento. The midsize CUV segment is a crowded field, indeed.
The Last Word
We like what Kia has done to the 2014 Sorento. It now benefits from more power, a plusher interior and real handling talent. The exterior styling is underwhelming, and adding too many options really fattens up the price, but the 2014 Kia Sorento is a midsize crossover that deserves a closer look in a category loaded with strong choices.

AUBURN, AL (WSFA) - The Auburn Tigers continued their winning streak with a 45-10 win over Florida Atlantic University at Jordan-Hare Saturday night.
Auburn took an early lead when Tre Mason ran into the end zone from eight yards out. Corey Grant ran 43 yards for Auburn in the first quarter making the lead 14-0.
Quarterback Nick Marshall ran in the third touchdown in the first quarter.
Jeremy Johnson went in during the second quarter for injured starter Nick Marshall. Auburn announced in the second half that Marshall suffered a shoulder injury and wouldn't return to the game.

Name: Rachel
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Location: somewhere
Is it possible for a girl not to be able to have an orgasm after having sex twice?
You betcha, Rachel! Loads of women, way too many in fact, go through most of their lives being pre-orgasmic. Even having sex on a regular basis and having lots of babies is no guarantee that the woman in question is orgasmic. It's a staggering statistic that us men folk simply can't wrap our heads around. In fact I believe the earth would stop rotating on its axis if an equal number of men lived most of their lives without being orgasmic.
Now it must be clear to you, even at your tender age, that there are some fundamental differences between the sexes when it comes to sexual enjoyment. But a good portion of that has always been culturally dependent. Men have always had a whole lot more cultural permission to be sexually experimental. And since our willie is just hangin around down there waiting for an invitation to play. Or more precisely it's our wang that tells us it's time to play. We get to know our way around our boner early in life. Women? Ahhh not so much! Ok, so historically women have been sexually oppressed and repressed. But times they are a chanin! And all you women folk out there need to wake up about this.
Nowadays you don't need nobody's stinkin' permission to get real acquainted with your cooch. That's why I am a really big advocate of the notion that each of us, both the women folk and the men folk, ought to be responsible for our own orgasms…even, or more especially, in partnered sex.
If you mean by having sex, (and I hate that ambiguous term), that you're having full-on cock in cooter fucking, and you're not being appropriately pleasured, then I think it's high time for you to take some responsibility for that. I mean you can chalk up just so much sexual disappointment to the sex-negative culture and a slew of offish and uninformed male lovers, darling!
If the man you are with isn't pleasuring you to orgasm, then it's your responsibility to take the time to instruct him on how it's done. If you don't insist that your partnered sex be mutual and reciprocal, i.e. pleasure for pleasure, then you're gonna have to suffer the consequences. If loutish men are bumpin' around down there gettin their jollies, but leaving you high and dry…literally and figuratively…then you are not taking care of business properly.
Of course, the other alternative is just doing it yourself. Either way, you should have the know-how to bring yourself to orgasm even if you are with an ineffectual lover.
I suppose you know where I'm going with this, huh? Well, here's the 411 on gettin' rid of preorgasmia once and for all. It is incumbent upon you to be exceptionally well versed in the pleasure points of your own personal pussy so you can pass this information on to the guy who wants to jump your bones. Never, and I mean never, assume a dude is gonna know what to do all on his own. Even a very seasoned lover is not gonna know the particulars of your pussy. But luckily, a seasoned lover will probably ask to be introduced to your cooch as insurance that he does the job right.
Begin by knowing your body and your sexual response cycle inside out. You are intimately familiar with masturbation, right? If not, times a wastin', girl! Start by learning how to pleasure your body to orgasm. Once you get the hang of it, you will likely know the kind of stimulation you need to achieve full arousal in partnered sex, because this is precisely the information you are gonna want to pass on to your partner before the next fuck-fest begins as well as throughout the event. If you don't do this, then you probably deserve the sexual wasteland you will surely find.
In other words, if you're gettin it on, but not gettin off; you, my dear, need to take some of the blame for that.
To that end, allow me to direct you to a two-part interview I did with the marvelous, Mikaya Heart. She was a guest on my show for the SEX WISDOM series. You will find the podcasts HERE and HERE!
Mikaya is the author of The Ultimate Guide To Orgasm For Women; How to Become Orgasmic For A Lifetime. It is by far the best book about women's sexuality that I have read in the past decade, if not longer.
Good luck

Color Inspiration: Turqouise, Black & White
It is hard to go wrong with black and white, and even harder to go wrong when paired with any shade of invigorating turquoise. Tiffany box blue, aqua, teal, robin's egg, and most of their variations, have the same crisp and classic appeal that's often attributed black and white, so it's only natural that the three should look stunning as a team...
• 1 Multiple patterns mix for a soothing effect in Gwyneth Paltrow's glamourous home.
• 2 We have seen this unexpected kitchen (featured in Domino) a million times, but it still makes us pause. We could imagine the small galley being rather bland without the daring black walls—and ceiling!— and fresh punch of turquoise on the door and tiled counters.
• 3&4 There is practically nothing that we don't find absolutely brilliant about Jonathan Adler's choices for Liz Lange's home.
• 5 However, we also like this romantic application of the color combo.
• 6 Everything about this room screams traditional except the rather wild use of color.
• 7 Ok, this picture is cheating, as there is no black to speak of. However, we know that our readers have good imaginations, and we could see these boldly beautiful robin's egg blue chairs looking equally stunning paired with a long glossy black dining table. Couldn't you?

Do you want to help your children discover the magic of the North Pole this holiday season? If so, the Medina Railroad Museum has the perfect idea for your family: A "Polar Express" train ride is just the ticket. You'll feel like you're in your own "Polar Express" book and movie adventure.
The Medina Railroad Museum's "Polar Express" is a one-hour train ride adventure that allows children to experience the classic story of the same name. Children will receive hot cocoa and cookies as they make their way to the "North Pole" via train tracks. And guess who will be their waiting? None other than Santa himself, who will make the return trip on the train visiting with the children. Santa Claus even has a special memento for each child making the winter Christmas trip - their very own "magic sleigh bell."
This is Media RR's second year hosting "Polar Express" and the staff has added more dates and cars to each train to accommodate the overwhelming demand. They've also added a vintage 1948 Apollo dining car for first-class passengers. This will allow for families to comfortably sit together and interact with the "Polar" character and with Mr. and Mrs. Clause.
Along with this upgraded seating, passengers ($45 per ticket for anyone over 2 years old) will receive their own "Polar Express" ceramic souvenir cocoa mug and whipped cream topping on their cocoa. (No first-class seating at 3:30 p.m. on the early bird special).
Standard admission tickets are $23 for the early bird special (3:30 p.m. ride) or $28 for 4:40 and 5:55 p.m. rides. Children ages 2 and under ride for free. For more information or to purchase tickets, visitwww.railroadmuseum.net.
Medina "Polar Express" train schedule:
Note: The first day of "Polar Express" is also the day of Medina's Parade of Lights, which drew more than 10,000 visitors in 2011
Departure Times: 3:30, 4:40 and 5:55 p.m.
Departing: Medina Depot, 530 West Ave., Medina

Skeleton Underbust Corset
Added Feb 5, 2013
Los Angeles, Cal...
I made this underbust corset for my sister, who is a big fan of science combined with good design. I don't know if a skeleton print fabric used to make a corset quite counts…
Since this is more of a "fun" piece than a serious piece of shapewear, I didn't bother with a metal busk or steel bones. Instead, I used hook and eye tape and cable ties. The skeleton print fabric is a quilting cotton; I underlined it with a fairly tightly-woven cotton muslin and used a home-dec weight canvas for the lining. The plastic bones are sandwiched between these two layers. I also used grosgrain ribbon for a waist stay.
The original pattern is larger than I wanted, so I graded it down by taking the underbust, waist, and hip differences and dividing by the number of edges, then shaving off the appropriate amount. It was easy to do and I think it worked pretty well. The finished corset can be laced down to 21.5" if laced closed, but in the pictures I have it laced down to 25".
More pictures and details here.

I read your blog about this piece, and now I'm inspired! Who says corsets can't be every-day wear? Certainly not as undergarments every day, but the right print on the corset could look great as an "underwear as overwear" look!

Indiana Secretary of State Fines and Dissolves Problem Dealer
Habitual violations by McCullogh Motors and Exotic Motors results in $20,000 fine, revocation of existing dealer license, and barring of any future license requests.
INDIANAPOLIS (June 24, 2011) – Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White today announced that Securities Commissioner, Chris Naylor, has signed an order fining and permanently revoking the license for auto dealer McCullogh Motors and its alias Exotic Motors. The Office's Auto Dealer Services Division has fined president and owner Anthony McCullogh $20,000 in civil penalties and has barred any and all future licensing requests made by him or by either McCullogh or Exotic Motors dealerships.
Violations committed by these dealerships under McCullogh control and authority include non-delivery of vehicle titles to consumers within the mandated twenty-one day limit, material misrepresentations on dealer license applications, failure to comply with division subpoenas, operating without a license, misuse of dealer plates, failure to produce an interim plate log, bond and insurance lapses, failure to serve the business location with utilities, failure to maintain good standing with the Department of Revenue, and failure to pay third parties in dealer purchases within the mandated five day limit.
"McCullogh has shown a blatant disregard for the regulations that apply to dealing vehicles in the state of Indiana," Associate General Counsel and Acting Director of Auto Dealer Services Carol Mihalik said. "These laws exist to not only protect consumers, but also those dealers that do what's right."
This is not McCullogh's only issue with the state. Through the course of the office's investigation, it learned of other ventures originating with McCullogh – specifically one called Circle City Imports which was run out of his home. While not subject to a separate investigation conducted by the Secretary of State, the Attorney General's office does have jurisdiction.
"I'd like to thank the persistence of our Auto Dealer Services Division in pursuing this company and its owners," White said. "Consumers can count on us to continue to weed out these bad actors so that good businesses can flourish."
Those who feel they have been a victim of an unethical vehicle dealer in Indiana should contact the Office of the Indiana Secretary of State at 317-234-7190.

"The Kwame Sutra,"
"The Kwame Sutra," is "a one-stop shop for all of Kwame's best BS," says top-rated morning radio show host Drew Lane. This new book from Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters M.L. Elrick and Jim Schaefer captures Kwame Kilpatrick as no one ever has. In his own words, including never-before-published quotations, the former mayor of Detroit reveals himself in many ways: Liar, Lothario and, yes, leader.
Through public pronouncements, candid asides, unscripted outbursts and secret text messages, "The Kwame Sutra" provides a 3-D portrait of Detroit's youngest elected mayor, from his stunning rise to power to the self-induced, cataclysmic crash that landed him in the Wayne County Jail. It's all here, in graphic detail, in the man's own words, in one handsome volume.
The Kwame Sutra is available through this site and selected retailers and bookstores throughout Michigan and the Detroit area. A portion of proceeds will benefit Eagle Sports Club.
UPDATE: Due to overwhelming demand, "The Kwame Sutra" is now entering it's third printing in two weeks. We appreciate your support. -- ML & Jim for Watchmen Ink LLC
Fun Facts from the Fulfillment Center:
- In our initial 10 days of publication, customers on two continents ordered "The Kwame Sutra."
- Copies of the book were sent to 15 states and the District of Columbia.
- We practically covered all four corners of the U.S., with customers in Maine, Florida and California.
About the authors
Jim Schaefer and M.L. Elrick are investigative reporters at the Detroit Free Press. Together, they have covered Mayor Kilpatrick since 2002. Their award-winning investigations included exposing Kilpatrick's many foibles -- from the red Navigator to spa visits paid for with tax dollars to the text message scandal, which ultimately cost Kilpatrick his job and his freedom. In 2009, Schaefer and Elrick received the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting in the text message scandal.
Eagle Sports Club
A portion of our proceeds benefits Eagle Sports Club (www.eaglesportsclub.com), a faith-based charity that provides sports and tutoring programs for Detroit children.

Robert Mitchum stars as Harry Powell, a preacher whose down-home manners and lazy charm mask a perverse, truly malignant soul. When he comes to a small Southern town populated by yokels who all seem to have stumbled out of a Norman Rockwell canvas, he imagines there's no one to stop him from claiming the fortune left behind by the late husband of the lovely Willa Harper (Shelley Winters). Of course, Powell's not counting on the fierce resistance he'll face from Willa's offspring, John and Pearl (Billy Chapin and Sally Jane Bruce). When Charles Laughton turned to directing, he brought the same ferocity to it that he had to acting, with results that were arguably even more impressive. Certain aspects of the film's story have penetrated the popular imagination, such as Mitchum's tattoos bearing the word LOVE across the knuckles of one hand and HATE on the other, a bit that has been ripped off, paid homage to and parodied by everybody from The Simpsons to Spike Lee to Springsteen. But Night of the Hunter was a critical and commercial disaster in its day, so much so that Laughton never directed again. It brings to mind the career of Orson Welles, another king-size, noisy, maverick director who made a masterful debut, bombed big and was promptly slapped down by Hollywood. While Welles' story is one that film majors cry themselves to sleep thinking about, Laughton's is arguably even sadder. Welles at least was allowed to make dozens more pictures, even if he never again equaled Citizen Kane. Laughton never stepped behind the camera again and had to settle for being one of the most fascinating actors of all time. Bay Theatre, 340 Main St., Seal Beach, (562) 431-9988. Fri., 10:30 p.m.; Sun., 6 p.m.; Mon., 8 p.m. $5-$8.
A Face in the Crowd. Andy Griffith, in his film debut, works a horrifying twist on the homespun yokel he'd later play for laughs. This punchy Elia Kazan drama has Griffith as a Southern hobo who becomes a media celebrity, only to then become mad with his new power. Walter Matthua is also on hand for an atypical, downbeat role. Shorts, newsreels and other goodies are also included on the bill. Long Beach School for Adults Auditorium, 3701 E. Willow St., Long Beach, (562) 997-8000, ext. 7198. Fri., 7 p.m. $1.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This classic comedy is absolutely resistant to rational encapsulation; it's set in the Middle Ages, sort of, and involves characters from the King Arthur legends in all sorts of bizarre hijinks. Unless you're an uptight jackass, you're guaranteed a swell time, and even you uptight jackasses should at least have some fun really hating the picture. Just, please, all you fanboys who are sure to attend in droves, please don't holler "Ni!" in the movie theater. We know you know all the dialogue, but this isn't Rocky Horror, and there's no call for a group recitation. Man, that shit was old in, like, 1977.

U.S. plans TV assault
WASHINGTON - Adding a new dimension to its support for pro-democracy activists in Iran, the Voice of America is planning a nightly half-hour TV news show tailored for viewers in that country.
"By reporting what's happening in Iran today, we can help further the struggle for freedom and self-determination in Iran," said Kenneth Tomlinson, chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, which oversees most U.S. government-sponsored broadcasts overseas.
Recent U.S. statements in support of Iranian anti-government demonstrators have prompted charges of interference by Iranian President Mohammad Khatami.
He has insisted the U.S. stance has had the welcome effect of generating "greater national solidarity" in Iran.
State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said the White House does not consider U.S. television news broadcasts into Iran to be interference in Iran's affairs.
"We think it is important for everybody there and everybody around the world to be as well informed as possible, and this is a case where we can help out with that," Boucher said.
The administration has become increasingly concerned about Iran's nuclear programs and sees widespread opposition in Iran to Islamic fundamentalist rule as a sign that change may be possible.
'Courageous souls'
Boucher said U.S. officials remain convinced that the solution to many of the difficulties facing Iran are found in the reformist, democratic agenda backed by the protesters.
President Bush paid tribute last month to "those courageous souls who speak out for freedom in Iran" and urged Tehran to treat protesters with "the utmost of respect."
"They need to know America stands squarely by their side," he said.
The first VOA broadcast of the Persian language "News and Views" show will be Sunday from 9:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Scheduled to run through Sept. 30, the show will cost $500,000 to produce and will feature original news reporting from Iran. It will include world news roundups, analysis and cultural features.
The broadcasts will complement VOA Persian's daily radio service and Radio Farda, a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week, youth-oriented radio program.

These e-mails are quite possibly the most powerful thing you have posted DoctorZIn. This is one of the reasons I'm so intent about this uprising. To be a woman, trapped in that grey world, must be unimaginably horrible. Not to feel the wind in your hair, or be permitted to see the beauty that others have created. Not to stroll through the park holding the hand of someone you love. They are deprived of all the things a woman holds most dear.
Will you permit our posterity to groan under the galling chains of our murderers? Has our blood been expended in vain? Is the only benefit which our constancy till death has obtained for our country, that it should be sunk into a deeper and more ignominious vassalage? Recollect who are the men that demand your submission, to whose decrees you are invited to pay obedience. Men who, unmindful of their relation to you as brethren; of your long implicit submission to their laws; of the sacrifice which you and your forefathers made of your natural advantages for commerce to their avarice; formed a deliberate plan to wrest from you the small pittance of property which they had permitted you to acquire. Remember that the men who wish to rule over you are they who, in pursuit of this plan of despotism, annulled the sacred contracts which they had made with your ancestors; conveyed into your cities a mercenary soldiery to compel you to submission by insult and murder; who called your patience cowardice, your piety hypocrisy.Americans are watching, hoping, yearning for Iran to be free. But do not count on anyone but yourselves as you hurtle toward July 9th. The fire of freedom comes from within. Troop, arms, tactical support, and moral assistance can come from outside, much as we obtained from France. But the bulk of the revolution has to come from within.
You have my attention! If I were president, I would be willing to sacrifice thousands of American soldiers to liberate Iran. But often I am unrealistic. The solid fact remains that if it is external aid that tips the balance between protest and revolution, Americans would be criticized for meddling in yet another Islamic country's affairs. Moreover, unless Iranians are on fire with their zeal to bring an American style revolution, nothing Americans would do to tip the balance could promise success.
It is believed here that we need a big help and foreign support to remove this system.
I do not know what my government is doing, or what it plans. But until the Iranian youth is prepared to sacrifice itself the way it did 20 years ago in the Iran-Iraq war, only for freedom instead of some impossible religious utopia, you are going to be at risk of losing the revolution. When there is nothing but pure fire in your eyes, when your blood boils with passion for change, when you are ready to kill any agent who resists your will by force without a moment's hesitation, and when your own lives are worth so much less than the revolution that you don't hesitate to die for it, then you will succeed.
I write about selflessness, but I am selfish because I am not on a plane coming to work with you and bring you arms. Somehow I am right, though. We want you to live, and we want your generation to survive and help us bring freedom to a muslim country so we can prove to the world that it is possible. So fight to live another day, please! But protesting is not a revolution, and tyrants just laugh at crowds waving signs and burning flags. You must be willing to kill and be killed for a higher cause if you want an American style revoltion.
Yes, and my father, who is a WWII veteran with a Purple Heart medal says this: until you have shed blood for freedom, you'll never understand what it means to be free. When you have given your own for liberty, when many around you have fallen in your cause, your commitment will be complete.
Do not doubt for one minute that President Bush also agrees with this philosophy. Men like my father are advising him now.

Joyce homers in ninth to save Rays
St. Petersburg, FL – Matt Joyce hit a game-winning home run in the ninth inning as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Baltimore Orioles, 8-7, on Wednesday.
Shelley Duncan hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning, Ben Zobrist went 2- for-4 with two RBI and James Loney had a pinch-hit RBI double for the Rays, who lost their first game of the season.
"We responded well tonight, really proud of our guys," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson gave up five runs on eight hits in 6 1/3 innings, but did not earn the win.
Chris Davis was a perfect 4-for-4 with a three-run home run, two doubles and four RBI for the Orioles. Nate McLouth, Matt Wieters and Brian Roberts knocked in a run apiece in the setback.
"Chris Davis continues to swing the bat well, got off to a good start," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "We just couldn't hold them down."
Orioles starter Wei-Yin Chen allowed two runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings.
Davis hit the home run on a full count with two outs in the first inning after singles by Nick Markakis and Adam Jones.
However, neither team scored until the sixth, when Davis hit a single to Manny Machado. Machado hit a double to leadoff the inning and advanced to third after a fly out by Markakis, but Jones grounded out to shortstop.
The Rays came back in the bottom of the inning. Ben Zobrist hit a two-out single, bringing Desmond Jennings home. Tampa Bay wasn't done though. Chen was replaced by Luis Ayala following the score, but he allowed a single to Longoria followed by Duncan's three-run shot to tie the game at 4-4.
In the seventh, Hellickson walked Nolan Reimold and gave up a single to Brian Roberts with one out. McLouth was up next and he singled to right, allowing Reimold to score from second and the Orioles retook the lead, 5-4. Hellickson was then taken out and Kyle Farnsworth came in to relieve. He forced Machado into a double play to end the inning.
In the bottom of the inning, Strop replaced Ayala. Joyce reached first with one out on a bunt and Kelly Johnson singled into center field, allowing Joyce to make it to third. On a 2-2 count with Jennings batting, Strop threw a wild pitch, allowing Joyce to score.
After Jennings struck out, Loney pinch-hit for Sean Rodriguez and knocked a double on an 0-2 pitch, scoring Johnson. Zobrist was next and delivered a single, bringing Loney home, and the Rays led 7-5.
Wieters hit a two-out RBI single off Joel Peralta in the eighth, after Davis doubled.
Fernando Rodney (1-0) came in the ninth, but walked Reimold, then allowed Roberts a double to left, allowing Reimold to score. McLouth hit a sacrifice to first and Roberts reached third, but Machado and Markakis both grounded out to shortstop Yunel Escobar to end the inning.
Tommy Hunter (0-1) pitched for the Orioles in the bottom of the inning. Joyce, leading off in the inning, homered to right on a 3-1 pitch to end the game.
Game Notes
Davis leads MLB with seven RBI this season ... Hellickson required 94 pitches in his outing while Chen needed 84 ... The Rays were 4-of-7 with runners in socring position, while the Orioles were 4-of-11.

Distinguished University Professor Emeritus, Department of Anatomy & Structural Biology
Microtubule molecular-motor proteins are key players in endocytosis, in vesicular trafficking, in mitosis and in cell growth and differentiation, as well as in ciliary motility. My laboratory is interested in the role of the motor proteins and their cargos in signal transduction events in these processes. Particularly interesting is the new information linking kinesin and dynein intraciliary transport (ICT) components to human diseases, including left-right asymmetry determination, primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), polycystic kidney disease (PKD), retinitis pigmentosa and perhaps to cancer. My laboratory is studying the role of the motor proteins in ICT and other processes by molecular genetic and structural techniques, including high resolution electron microscopy. We have also been interested in studying the control of dynein activity in the axonemal nanomachine during ciliary motion. Dynein activity can be functionally studied by nanotechnological and molecular engineering techniques including in vitro translocation assays using computer-assisted image analysis to measure the rate of movement along microtubules when ATP is added. The speed of microtubule translocation affects ciliary motility. We have identified controlling elements: a 29 kDa dynein regulatory light chain and a centrin binding arm.
Current projects include:
Ï Signal transduction molecules as cargo in ICT.
Ï Nanotechnology of axonemal sliding.
Ï Cloning of dynein regulatory proteins.
Ï Structural localization of components in the ciliary membrane and axoneme.
Ï Vesicular transport by kinesins and cytoplasmic dynein.
Ï cAMP and Ca2+ control of ciliary motility in wt and mutant cells.

ALBANY, NEW YORK and ST. FLORIAN, AUSTRIA, July 9, 2009 - EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, today announced that SEMATECH, the global consortium of chipmakers, has selected EVG's fully automated 300-mm GEMINI® wafer bonder for enabling next-generation TSV and 3D interconnects. This order represents the industry's first fully automated 300-mm wafer bonder to integrate all four types of wafer bonding techniques into one system: thermo compression bonding, fusion bonding, temporary bonding and chip-to-wafer bonding. The EVG system will be installed in SEMATECH's 3D R&D Center at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering's (CNSE) Albany NanoTech Complex in Q4 2009.
With the rising demand for smaller, more functional and lower-power chips, 3D architecture is emerging as the clear approach for meeting leading-edge consumer device requirements. As collaboration on TSV/3D intensifies, barriers continue to be broken down thereby speeding industry-wide technology adoption among memory and CMOS manufacturers.
"SEMATECH has been involved in 3D research for several years, and we are committed to building a strong infrastructure to pave the way for volume production of TSVs," noted Sitaram Arkalgud, director of SEMATECH's 3D Interconnect Program. "Wafer and die bonding are key processes for 3D interconnects, and the EVG wafer bonding technology will provide various bonding capabilities that allow our researchers to aggressively address technical challenges in bonding next-generation TSVs, a critical requirement for successful introduction of 3D interconnects."
Paul Lindner, EVG's executive technology director, said, "SEMATECH has one of the world's most advanced R&D programs on 3D interconnect technology. This is a tremendous opportunity for EV Group to contribute to this top-level program, which includes the industry's leading experts throughout the 3D IC value chain. We've already achieved post-copper bond alignment results well in advance of our 2010 targets, and we look forward to this important collaboration with SEMATECH and seeing 3D technology continue to gain traction as the technology of choice for high-volume memory and CMOS manufacturers."
Richard Brilla, CNSE Vice President for Strategy, Alliances and Consortia, said, "The addition of EVG's wafer bonding technology will enhance both the leading-edge nanoelectronics research being conducted through the SEMATECH-CNSE partnership, and the world-class capabilities at CNSE's state-of-the-art Albany NanoTech Complex. The result will be accelerated development and commercialization of innovative technologies for the benefit of our corporate partners, as well as the global nanoelectronics industry."
Today, EVG's fully automated 300-mm GEMINI wafer bonder systems are used for high-volume wafer bonding applications for MEMS, 3D IC integration and advanced packaging, as well as compound semiconductor applications. The system purchased by SEMATECH is based on the flexible, field-proven GEMINI platform and integrates the company's SmartViewNT series announced in December 2008. Up until now, room-temperature fusion bonding and high-temperature, high-force thermo compression bonding were processed on two separate tools. This next-generation design can combine all of these bonding capabilities into one system for maximum R&D flexibility. Alternatively, it can be configured for a specific process flow to maximize productivity in a manufacturing environment. Both Lindner and Arkalgud are panelists on the BrightSpotsSM 3D IC Forum, a unique three-weeklong online discussion on 3D IC developments. The panel is now live and will conclude Friday, July 24, 2009. To join the discussion or find out what the experts are saying, visit www.semineedle.com/MCA3DIC. You can also follow BrightSpots activities on Twitter at #MCA3DIC.

I went to Hampi some time ago. The hotel where I was staying used a rather imaginatively named padlock.
Yeah, you read that right. It is a "Hitler Star" lock , 8 levers and "Hitler Tested – OK" ! While this is amusing at first, I am not sure how someone Jewish would feel. Some googling reveals that this morbidly named brand is quite popular with sightings all over India. It is in fact churned out at "Hitler lock enterprises" in Aligarh, the headquarters of the Indian lock industry.
This also reminded me of the Hari Sadu ad which was incredibly popular on TV a few years ago.
My feeling is that Indian's overall know Hitler as a "bad person", but have now come to associate his name with a mild rebuke which is hardly insulting. I feel that the majority of Indians are hardly aware of the horrific crimes perpetrated by this deranged man. Instead I've noticed some folks actually try to magnify Hitler's connections with India by propagating his ridiculous Aryan theories and citing the use of the Swastika. Why ? Here is a Wall Street Journal article I found which does a good job at explaining this curious Indian fascination with Hitler.

rBGH Free Cheese: A Choice For You!
In December 1993, Cedar Grove Cheese became the first in the country to assure its customers that its products were rBGH-free. Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone, or rBGH, is a synthetic hormone used by some farmers to increase milk production. We believe that consumers wishing to avoid dairy products containing milk from rBGH-treated cows should have that choice. Although the FDA has determined that rBGH is safe. many consumers have indicated that for a wide variety of personal, social or political reasons, they want to buy dairy products made from milk produced by untreated cows.
All farmers providing milk to Cedar Grove Cheese have pledged NOT to treat their cows with rBGH. Wisconsin state law authorizes us to rely on those pledges and to inform consumers of the farmers' promises.
Cedar Grove Cheese is committed to remaining rBGH-free and will continue to provide consumers with a clear a nd concise statement of our policy. We want all our customers to continue to enjoy our quality cheeses. In addition to using exclusively rBGH-free milk, all our other ingredients for making cheese are free of, or are not derived from, genetically modified organisms.
Cedar Grove Cheese and the Environment
Environmentally sound production: working in concert with nature is an important part of our business. Production of a wide variety of OCIA certified organic cheese, a "Living Machine" to clean our wash-water in a beautiful biological way, and recycling and energy reduction programs are our way of keeping up our commitment to the environment.

The theme you ask? Envision moss-laden oak trees, old antebellum mansions, rusty gates and perhaps a few gravestones … Midnight in the Sun City Garden of Good and Evil. You'll feel as though you've stepped into the heart of the Old South when you enter Pinckney Hall for the dance Dec. 31. Spanish moss and Southern charm will abound. Head to your beautifully decorated table, as Target … The Band warms up.
