How to: Sewing a Vented Lining
Added Aug 28, 2010
by sunnilj9
Cedar City, Utah...
Step 6
Now, its time to determine just how long your lining needs to be. This must be determined before you stitch the lining to the skirt shell so that you don't have to go back and unpick and be hateful about this experience. I like my skirt linings to generally fall 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) above my skirt hem. That means that I need to cut the hem allowance for the skirt shell off of the lining and then hem up the lining by 1 inch. For example, if the hem allowance of the skirt is 2 inches, then I would trim off 2 inches from my lining and hem it up by 1 inch. Make sense? For the purposes of this tutorial I cheated and serged an inch off the bottom of the lining. Easy, no?

The administration is also seeking to overhaul key elements of federal financial aid. The spending proposal would maintain funding for Pell Grants for students in financial need, but it would eliminate more than $700 million in Perkins loans for disadvantaged students; nearly halve the work-study program that helps students work their way through school, cutting $490 million; take a first step toward ending subsidized loans, for which the government pays interest while the borrower is in school; and end loan forgiveness for public servants.
The loan forgiveness program, enacted in 2007, was designed to encourage college graduates to pursue careers as social workers, teachers, public defenders or doctors in rural areas. There are at least 552,931 people on track to receive the benefit, with the first wave of forgiveness set for October. It's unclear how the proposed elimination would affect those borrowers.
The administration also wants to replace five income-driven student loan repayment plans with a single plan.
That change would likely benefit many undergraduate borrowers, who currently can have the balance of their loan forgiven after paying 10 percent of their income for 20 years. Trump's proposal — which makes good on a campaign promise — would raise the maximum payment to 12.5 percent of income, but shorten the payment period to 15 years.
The proposal is less sweet for borrowers who take out loans to earn advanced degrees. They currently pay monthly bills capped at 10 percent of income for 25 years. Under the new plan, they'd pay more (12.5 percent of income) for longer (30 years).
This is...bad, no?

Eating More Protein Helps Keep Fat Off
Image by alchymy8 via Flickr
An Australian study into diets that help to move fat deposits or keep fat off altogether has found that eating higher protein meals helps to burn fat more efficiently, especially for those who are already overweight or obese.
"Study participants were put on two protein-enriched meals and one standard meal, which all contained the same number of kilojoules. The two protein-enriched meals differed in the type of carbohydrate they contained – either high- or low-GI. The amount of kilojoules subjects burnt was then measured.
The high-protein meals led to the greatest level of fat oxidation. This plan included a cheese and tomato omelette for breakfast, and a beef, chutney and salad sandwich, with a tub of low-fat yoghurt, for lunch.
"We found a clear relationship between body composition and the effect of dietary protein on fat oxidation. Our bodies burn energy and use fat differently, and we need to take this into account when planning our diets,' said Dr. Batterman who works at the Smart Foods Centre at the University of Wollongong."

Since moving on over to a more Paleo friendly lifestyle my body has pretty much stopped craving sugar, it's quite fantastic; I never thought I'd pass up a tray of brownies or these amazing cookie-peanut butter cup-brownie bars my amazing friend S made (I took one home to freeze, and the Mr. had half that night and the next morning, since I knew it was in the freezer, I took it out and ate it…not because I was craving it, but because I knew it was there and it would have haunted me every day until I ate it, let me just say..AH-MAY-ZING!)
I digress.
I have stopped craving sugar almost entirely, but there are still those days (once a month….) that I would do pretty much anything for something baked and sweet. Being 8 months out from competition I can't really justify shoving my face full of cookies, or brownies, or cookie-pb cup-brownie bars. *sad* but NOT sad! The internet is a beautiful thing, so many resources just waiting to be google searched.
I stumbled upon a recipe that was almost Paleo, you can find it here. It called for sugar…eep. Lucky for me however, I had just finished making a batch of apple sauce, you will see that I omitted the milk and the sugar as I used apple sauce. They turned out pretty darn good, they hit the spot perfectly and you don't feel bad eating them! They are on the drier side because of the coconut flour, but that's nothing a small cup of almond milk won't fix!
Chocolate Chip Cookies – Paleo Friendly
adapted from http://chocolateandcarrots.com
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract (you can omit this entirely if you choose)
4 eggs
1 cup apple sauce
1 cup coconut flour
dash of salt
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips, or carob chips if you like the flavour
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the coconut flour, salt and chocolate chips together, set aside. Combine the coconut oil, vanilla extract, eggs and apple sauce together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until everything is well incorporated. Take about a tablespoon of dough, roll and press onto the parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for about 13 minutes or until lightly browned. **the original recipe says to bake for 20 minutes, but I found that (with my oven at least) after 13 minutes the cookies came out softer inside and out, after 15 they were a bit drier on the outside and soft on the inside.**
I stuck these cookies in the fridge last night and they taste amazing cold! Think I'll freeze one next see how it holds up to a thaw. Stay tuned!


text: LAPORTE -- More than $6 million is now in hand for three major road reconstruction projects in LaPorte. The Indiana Department of Transportation has approved funding to cover its 80-percent share of the projected $6.5 million total expense, LaPorte Mayor Leigh Morris announced this week. About $3.5 million will go toward reconstructing a stretch of Boston Street north of Lincolnway. Included in the project are new sidewalks, curbs and improved drainage. A dogleg curve where Boston Street becomes Larson Street will also be eliminated. In addition, the intersection of Boston Street and Lincolnway will be reconstructed with turning lanes added. Morris said the work planned for Boston Street is significant because it's one of the main routes to the Thomas Rose Industrial Park, American Licorice, New York Blower and other industries on the city's east side. Another $2.5 million will be spent upgrading McClung Road from Indiana 39 to Truesdell Avenue. Sharp curves on McClung Road will be straightened to improve safety for motorists, including those aboard fire trucks originating from the new fire station on the city's north side. Construction of the fire station is scheduled for completion by the end of 2007. Longstanding drainage problems will also be addressed for that stretch of McClung Road, along with new curbs, gutters and sidewalks in many locations. The remaining $500,000 will be used to upgrade drainage along Andrew Avenue and widen the intersection of Andrew Avenue and Indiana 2 on the city's west side.

But they're still deals. People assume that stores swindle customers but in most cases I actually seen a decrease in prices. Most of them are not significant changes but it still essentially counts as a deal. It all depends on where you shop, and if you're quick enough to know when you're being cheated.
Sure, of all the deals touted and advertised by retailers on Black Friday, there are those that are of dubious benefit to the consumer, or that pass off inferior goods with a cutthroat rate. But for every one of these deals, there are at least as many that truly are a good deal and that consumers should take seriously.
Shopping on black Fridays is the worst experience, you do save some money but it's still not worth all the hassle and stress. On black Fridays some stores are so packed that it nearly becomes a safety issue. To me the deals seem like a scam as if the stores are trying get rid off all the products that didn't sell well or at all through out the year. Also the price tags that display the discount in percentages are optimized in favour of the store selling the merchandise.
Many news stations have reported in recent years the fact that Black Friday deals are just a ploy to get the consumers to think that they are getting a good deal. For example, buying laptops on Black Friday is said to be a bad idea because the laptops that are put on sale for this day won't last a person for more than a year. The best time for deals are the week of Christmas. The day after Christmas is also said to be a great day to start shopping for half off prices for next year's Christmas.
When our wives and girlfriends wake up at the crack of dawn and go shopping, spending all of our money and stuff they don't really need, is it a deal? You hear about how much they spent and it sounds like the farthest thing from a deal. I personally think it is a mind game.
No, I do not think that Black Friday deals are really deals. I hate black friday and I have never participated in it and I probably never will. All of the things that are onsale on that day will come on sale sometime throughout the year and the crowds are not worth it to me.

My Mother-In-Law had a particular need – a side table for the sofa. Problem: The sofa sits away from the wall into a walk way through the room. The end of the sofa where the table is needed could cause a standard table to be in the way.
My thought was a narrow table (12" wide, perhaps 24" long), but then I was worried about stability. If it's narrow, and has legs that stay within the dimensions of the table top, it may tip easily.
My solution was to look at putting a foot under the sofa to weight it down and hold it up.
I'll be building a prototype out of MDF to test the theory.

Whilst there, I soon realised that regardless of the fact that I'd come out for a bottle of Italian Passito and even though Italian wine was clearly one of their specialities, their real niche is German Riesling from small independent domaines. More specifically they had a great line-up of Riesling Trocken. Riesling what? Well, before looking at the specific wines I took away with me, let's have a quick look at the different styles of German wine...
For a start the whole conversation here is about quality German wine. We're not talking about supermarket bottom shelf hopelessly cheap branded wine, Liebfraümilch, Blue Nun or Black Tower - we're talking about superb wine and in particular Riesling. The same applies to other varieties - Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) and Silvaner for example - but we'll confine our discussion to Riesling, as that's the key German variety and it keeps things simpler to explain.
What's often called traditional German wine isn't dry. This is a stylistic choice designed to balance against the extremely high acidity of Riesling grown in such a marginal climate (the variety is naturally high in acidity to start with anyway, but particularly so in Germany). Consequently the fermentation is arrested before going through to completion, resulting in a naturally sweet wine of relatively low alcohol. The sugar takes the edge off the rapier acidity and the result can be a wonderfully balanced drink with refreshingly low alcohol. There are different categories of these wines, classified according to how late the harvest is, resulting in ever richer, sweeter and more expensive wines as you go up through the styles (we'll save the details of these amazing wines for another time).
Consequently, when a German producer makes dry Riesling (with all the sugar fermented into alcohol), they nearly always mark it as such, as it's not the norm. Trocken simply means dry in German and there you have it. As vineyard practices and tastes change producers are finding it increasingly possible to harvest riper grapes that can handle being fermented through to dryness without being overly tart. What's key to understand though, is that these wines are austere, with high acidity and really stark minerality. Rich, soft, round and peachy they most certainly are not. They're food wines.
So, how about the wines I bought then. Well, for an interesting comparison I bought three similarly priced wines, all between £13 and £14, from three different classic regions; the Mosel, the Rheingau and the Nahe.
The first one I tried was wine from the Nahe, a lesser-known region that's producing excellent Rieslings to rival the great wines of the more famous Mosel and Rheingau regions. It was a Riesling Trocken 2009 from the producer Von Racknitz. It was very dry, with crisp acidity, excellent structure and good balance. With the distinctive Riesling smell of petrol (it sounds odd, but is lovely and very characteristic of the variety, though normally in older bottles), the flavour had citrus notes with a full mid-palette and a long finish. A lovely wine that needs a grilled fish to go with it.
Next up was the Mosel wine, which was called Steiler Süden Riesling (not marked trocken on the front lable this one, but it was dry) from the producer Altmann. It was a 'natural wine', a growing movement that doesn't have a specific definition, but is all about minimal grape handling, minimum intervention, using natural yeasts instead of commercial yeasts and, most markedly and controversially, using as little sulphur dioxide (SO2) as possible, indeed sometimes none at all. Parking the SO2 for a minute, the aims of the movement are absolutely admirable and there are increasing numbers of really excellent and interesting 'natural' wines coming onto the market. However, the SO2 issue is tricky. SO2 is an antioxidant, which is a good thing, but it does pong of rotten eggs and struck matches when used to excess (which used to be a big problem), although that smell tends to dissipate after a bottle has been open for a short while. In the past lazy winemakers would use huge amounts of SO2 to cover up their poor practices. At high levels it starts to get really noticeable and mask the character of the wine. Not good. So Keeping SO2 to a minimum is clearly a good idea and winemakers generally use less these days as winemaking practices improve. However, having none at all in my experience can result in a very particular oxidised style that becomes more marked than the actual characteristics of the varieties or the terroir. I've had a couple of bottles recently that really highlighted this. One was a Sancerre I had at the excellent natural wine bar Terroirs and the other was this Steiler Süden Riesling. Now the grape varieties are completely different (Riesling vs Sauvignon Blanc), the locations are totally different (the Loire Valley vs the Mosel Valley), but the wines tasted eerily similar - incredibly similar - basically tasting of slightly fizzy cider! I couldn't find any varietal or location character in either. For me, this results in the ethos getting in the way of the wine. Well, natural wine is a big subject and certainly an extremely interesting development, but it also clearly has issues. Anyway, I've got to be honest here, this wine wasn't for me. If I wanted a bottle of cider (which I don't) I would have bought one, but I wanted and bought a bottle of German Riesling! Oh well.
The final bottle was the example from the Rheingau. It was bottle of Riesling Trocken 2010 from the grower Peter Jakob Kühn. Well I'm glad to say this was a great wine, of comparable quality to the first. It had a hint of spritzy prickle to it, was very dry, but surprisingly soft with it and not too austere, yet it was also perfectly crisp on the palette. It had green apple and citrus characteristics with a streak of mineraly running through it. It was also very long, leaving a lovely taste in my mouth a good two minutes after taking a sip. Less austere than the Von Racknitz wine it didn't need a grilled fish to go with it - it was a very friendly accompaniment to some antipasti of olives, cheese and salami. Delicious.
Well, although the cider style natural Riesling wasn't for me, I still applaud The Winery for stocking a diverse range of Rieslings from small growers, though perhaps that particular bottle should be sold with a warning! I hugely enjoyed both the other Rieslings and will be going back there for more of them.

Mechanical and Civil Engineering Seminar
"Time dependent fluid mechanics at nanometer length scales"
The responsivity of mechanical devices to environmental changes can be enhanced through miniaturisation. This has led to some key advances in nanoscience, which include the imaging of surfaces with atomic and molecular resolution, measurement of inertial mass at the atomic scale and monitoring of biological processes in liquid. In this talk, I will give an overview of work being conducted in our group to explore the effects and utilisation of fluid immersion of these devices. This will include a new modality of NEMS mass spectrometry that intrinsically enables imaging, the unexpected effects of noncontinuum behaviour of gases at nanometre scales, the viscoelastic behaviour of nominally Newtonian liquids and the utilisation of fluid-structure interactions for directed propulsion of nanoparticles.

Police investigating an attack on a woman in Leicester have released an image of a man they want to speak to.
The 19-year-old woman was sexually assaulted near Narborough Road in the early hours of 18 November.
The woman, who was cutting across a footpath turning left onto King Richards Road, was approached by a man who made inappropriate comments and then sexually assaulted her.
The man ran off towards a Tesco supermarket, a police spokesman said.
The suspect is described as Asian with light skin, about 5ft 6in to 5ft 8in (1.68 to 1.73m) tall and of slim build with dark short-cropped hair and facial stubble.
He was wearing a chequered style shirt and blue jeans.

Sonoran distribution
: infrequent, in southern California.
: Neofuscelia loxodes is morphologically most like N. subhosseana, which however can be easily distinguished by the K+ yellow turning red medullary spot test (hypostictic acid, et al.). A morphologically similar species which also has spot tests similar to those of N. loxodes, is N. verruculifera, which differs by the somewhat darker, smaller thalli, with narrower and thinner, mostly emaculate lobes, and production of divaricatic acid as the major constituent. That species is usually KC- or very faint in the medulla, unless accessory gyrophoric acid is present. Occasional specimens of these two species will require TLC analysis to be certain of their identity, especially poorly developed ones.

How important is location?
October 20, 2012, 11:02:34 AM »
I live in Knoxville, TN so I have always thought I'd end up at UTK, Vanderbilt (If I do great on the LSAT) or maybe Memphis. However, I want to live and practice in New York City. Of course going to UTK would be much cheaper both in terms of tuition and living costs since I can stay at home during my time at law school. I'm just wondering if location of your law school is such a big factor that it would be worth trying to get into a school in or around New York? Will going to a school in or around New York City make it so much easier to get a job that it would be worth taking loans to cover the extra cost? If anyone has been in a similar situation or just has some general advice that would be great. Thanks in advance.

As a general rule, unless you're going to an elite national school, you should go to law school where you intend to practice. If you want to live in NYC you will have far better options for internships and networking if spend those three years in NYC. Going to school in TN, and then showing up after graduation is going to put you at a disadvantage (unless you go to Vanderbilt).
Does the cheap tuition in TN outweigh the career development prospects in NYC? I can't say. You need to take your long term goals and financial situation into account to answer that one. Do you want biglaw, or are you alright with small firm work and government? Those are major factors in deciding where to go.
If you're not accepted to a very well regarded NY school, however, be wary of debt.
Consider this: NYC is one of the most competitive legal markets in the nation. Let's say Vandy is out and you must choose between UTK, Memphis, or a local NYC school like Brooklyn or Hofstra. If you go to a NY school you may rack up a $150-200K debt, and have to compete against tons of NY and out of state grads for jobs. There is a decent chance you'll end up back in TN or some other part of the country anyway if you can't get a job. That kind of debt can really cripple you.
Conversely, you could go to school in TN, build up few years of experience, and then make the move when you're more marketable. It's not easy, but people do it all the time.

I'm facing the same problem. My friends who are in this industry for more 10 years told me to go there where you can practice. But, i'm trying to find a good university for a MBA course abroad and i'm thinking to go in Germany, which is making it harder.

Practically speaking location is probably the most important factor to consider when choosing a law school for several reasons explained below.
Although law school is difficult you will have plenty of time to socialize and more importantly you will deal with the realities of living in one of the most crowded and diverse cities on a day to day basis. If you attend law school in New York you will deal with the subway, crowds, noise, etc. So first if your from Tennesee this will be a big culture shock.
On top of that you will be far away from your family, friends, and comforts of home. You will go to a new city in a new school not knowing anyone and this can be difficult for many people. If you have not been away from home before this may be something to consider. I have lived in New York City and tell you it is not for everyone and although it may sound glamorous and look cool on T.V. there are a lot of headaches attached with living in NY. However, there are a lot of amazing things as well, but starting something as a difficult as law school away from all your support group family, friends, etc can be to much to handle for some and others do great it is a very individual thing.
As Roald suggests if you want to live in New York then go to law school in New York. There are 7 law schools in NY state alone and 3 more in New Jersey not to mention numerous people from around the country are seeking in NY jobs. So most NY places are not likely to fly out of state to Tennessee, Memphis, or even Vanderbilt there are plenty of recent grads looking for work in NY city as it is.
Furthermore, you can get internships in school in NY if your in NY. You can't clerk for a NY judge 20 hours a week during law school if your in NY and furthermore, even if you wanted to have an interview out in New York you would need a flight, hotel, etc and since there are already thousands of recent grads in NY looking for work a firm is not going to spend money on those items you will cover the cost yourself and on a law student salary of 0 dollars a week that can be a lot of money.
On top of that your professors and career services departments will know people locally so at Hofstra the career services will interact with primarily NY firms and agencies. While in Tennessee they will work with Tennessee firms and agencies.
This is a real consideration and if you can live at home and get cheap tuition that is huge. You may not end up liking living in NY as it is not for everybody, but the debt you incur there will be very real and accruing interest. So really think about how much you want to live in NY before accruing 200,000+ in debt accruing 8% interest a year.
Especially since it is certainly possible to go to law school in Tennessee and pass & take the NY bar then move to NY trying to find a job. Although for the reasons stated above this may be difficult to accomplish finding a job in NY city when you have no affiliation with NY and thousands of other recent JD's will be looking for work well be difficult.
Law school is a long 3 years and most people make new friends get into a serious relationship, get an apartment they like, and simply get settled in over 3 years wherever they are. Therefore, if you go to law school in Tennesee or Memphis you may get into a serious relationship, get a job your comforable with, etc etc and odds are you won't leave. Most people I went to law school with stayed in the location I'm in, but during 1L many people said they planned to move to NY, L.A., or somewhere else after graduation. Some did, but the vast majority stayed put for the factors I mentioned above.
In my anonymous internet poster opinion which doesn't mean a lot location is probably the biggest factor to consider when choosing a law school. If your dream is to be a lawyer in NY the best way to make that happen is by going to law school in New York. However, if you have never lived there I would consider doing that and making sure you like it before making a 3 year 200,000 commitment on something you simply think will be amazing. NY has a lot of great things, but a lot of annoyances that are not for everybody. Good luck to you.

|Every year, two of our ski resorts have a friendly competition to see who can open the earliest. Last year, they were open by the 10th (one opened on the 7th) due to the massive amounts of rain/snow we'd gotten through the year. This year, everyone's running late. They're starting to run the snow-guns. http://www.denverpost.com/news... Mother Nature helped out a few days ago.
This is Long's Peak. This is the mountain that is on the Colorado Quarter. It has an elevation of 14,259 ft. I've driven right by it in the Rocky Mountain National Park. As the crow flies, I'm about 60-70 miles away and it's a good 2 hour drive away from where I took these pix.
I'm not really looking forward to winter. I'm looking forward to moisture of any kind, but I'm going to miss my roses. This year, I didn't get to enjoy them as hardly any of them were blooming. Plus I lost sooooo many due to lack of moisture (no rain, and I didn't water because it'd be cloudy, but it wouldn't rain, or we'd get that "virga" rain (rain that evaporates before it hits).) and my own incompetence. But, I'm hoping that next year will be a better year for my roses, and for me in general.
A toast, to the end of the 2010 Growing Season for us Coloradians. We can dream of greener pastures in Texas, Arizona, and California, but don't wanna pay the electric bills in the summer!!
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...

|I always water just before it rains. That way the new moisture pushes my watering fluids into the ground. :rolleyes:
Actually, since I cannot read clouds, I simply water when the ground is dry and it's not raining. In fact, those of us who live where the soil and air both tend to be dry may find that watering when it's overcast and darkening toward dusk uses moisture efficiently because it has a long time to soak in before the surface of the soil is baked by the sun.
In any case, it's getting cool here, and I will be spraying my roses with Freeze-Pruf once a month through April so that roses that don't drop their leaves have a chance at getting in a little root growth over the winter. No ski slopes here. Maybe no snow till January. Maybe some daytime highs in the sixties through much of the winter...

|Yep, that has been my theory too Steve, which is opposite of most parts of the country. I always water at night, just as the sun is setting. It gives the water time to sit there and soak in, and get drank by the plants, before the heat of the day falls back up on them.
Beautiful here this morning, and I'm on vacation next week, so just going to putz around in the garden and enjoy the full week off of work.

Today it's hard to believe that there are a baker's dozen plus two rose bushes in this photo. We woke to nine degrees Fahrenheit this morning, add in a fairly brisk breeze and it's downright chilly. I, of course, have new rose stock on the way here!

Like the kidnapping at the tortured heart of "Prisoners," once this chilling thriller about a parent's worst nightmare grabs you, it refuses to let go.
Even if the film wasn't coming out just months after the May rescue of three kidnapped women in Cleveland, held for a decade by a madman, we know the real world has monsters far more frightening than any Hollywood can manufacture.
Reality informs "Prisoners" at every turn. French Canadian director Denis Villeneuve and screenwriter Aaron Guzikowski keep the tightly constructed terror twisting by holding it close.
There are excellent performances from a well-seasoned cast including Viola Davis, Terrence Howard, Maria Bello and Melissa Leo. But the linchpins for the devastation wrought in the film are Hugh Jackman as an anguished father, Jake Gyllenhaal as the frustrated detective with whom he locks horns, and Paul Dano as the man suspected of snatching two young girls.
"Prisoners" begins innocently enough on Thanksgiving Day. Keller Dover (Jackman) and Franklin Birch (Howard) are lifelong friends. Now married with children, they live just down the block from each other in a Pennsylvania suburb where kids play carefree. Dinner is at the Birches — good friends, good food, good times.
Savor it. This is the last good moment the filmmakers allow.
It is late afternoon. The teenagers, Ralph Dover (Dylan Minnette) and Eliza Birch (Zoe Soul) are collapsed in front of a TV. The adults, Keller and wife Grace (Bello), Franklin and wife Nancy (Davis), are in one of those conversations you imagine they pick up every time they're together.
Six-year-old Anna Dover (Erin Gerasimovich) and 7-year-old Joy Birch (Kyla-Drew Simmons) are bundles of energy, begging to make a toy run to the Dover's house.
And then they are gone.
It takes a while to realize the girls are missing. But panic and fear are fast in coming. That scene — where it first sinks in — has a very "there but for the grace of God" feel. These are watchful parents. Each eventually becomes a template for the ways a child in jeopardy can change you.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
A sliver of hope comes in the form of a tenacious detective named Loki (Gyllenhaal). There is also a suspect, Alex Jones (Dano), who is quickly in custody.
And then hope dies.
After 48 hours and no progress, Loki releases Alex over Keller's outraged protest. Jackman, who gives the performance of his career, spends the rest of the film as a desperate father going rogue to save his child.
This is no "Taken," where the dad is a black-ops specialist, schooled in the art of tracking and torturing to find a missing daughter. The people in "Prisoners" are salt-of-the-earth types, not equipped to find their girls and certainly not prepared to cope with the tragedy that is overwhelming them.
A very different sort of family drama first put the director on the map. "Incendies," with its cross-cultural intrigues and Muslim-Christian conflicts, earned an Oscar nomination for foreign language film in 2011. The polish and precision of "Prisoners" should keep Villeneuve there.
Shot under a cold gray sky by acclaimed cinematographer Roger A. Deakins, the mood of despair never lifts. Keller's decision to take matters into his own hands sets the course. He's become convinced Alex is the key.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
A strange, shy and nearly nonverbal young man still living with his aunt Holly (Leo), Alex is an easy mark when it comes to villains. So it's not all that hard to get behind Keller's idea to pick up the interrogation the cops dropped.
But things go badly almost from the start when Alex doesn't break as Keller thought he would. The larger question that begins to gather force as the action evolves is whether Keller is right to do what he is doing — even if Alex is involved, even with the children's lives at stake. Or worse, what if Keller is wrong about Alex entirely?
The filmmakers don't make it easy to stay on Keller's side. Horrific brutality and unrelenting torture become the state of play as the desperation rises and the days tick past.
At home, Grace slips into a permanent haze of pills, barely able to get out of bed, much less notice her husband's long absences. It is left to the Birches to stand as the conflicted conscience of the film. Screenwriter Guzikowski tucks endless moral dilemmas into very smart dialogue as they grapple with what Keller is doing and their role in it.
Like everyone else, Det. Loki is a complex man with a lot on his mind. That he occupies any space on-screen is a credit to Gyllenhaal, who continues to power through the darker roles he's favored lately. The actor tempers Loki's confidence with a twinge of doubt — about Alex, about Keller, about himself — and in doing so keeps his cop interesting. Meanwhile, Dano seems born to play damaged souls, though he's never reached such animalistic levels before.
Jackman, though, is unforgettable as the father whose certainty never wavers. You feel Keller's resolve harden, his anguish deepen and his spine stiffen. Not even the actor's Oscar-nominated performance in "Les Misérables" is as compelling.
Exciting, terrifying, worrisome stuff saturates every second of "Prisoners," holding you captive, keeping you guessing until the bitter end.

Microchip scanners for the type of ID tags implanted in pets can be found at the AVID Scanner website. In addition, the American Animal Hospital Association website hosts a universal look-up tool for pet microchips.
AVID offers universal electronic scanners for locating chips made by several different manufacturers. The American Animal Hospital Association offers a universal search engine that finds listings across several different registries.
Electronic scanners are used by animal rescues, shelters, and veterinarians to detect the presence of implanted microchips on the bodies of pets. They can also read the chip, but it is sometimes difficult to make sense of the information contained on it, because there is no universal pet registry listing all animals that have microchips. Information is scattered across several registries, with some using different technology than the rest.

Digesting a candy bar is a chemical change.
Work Step by Step
During physical changes, the substance changes its physical appearance, but not its chemical composition. This includes things like physical observations (color, texture) melting and boiling points, density, and state. Chemical changes involve a transformation of one substance into a chemically different substance. This means that changes that involve other substances will tend to be chemical changes. This question asks us to determine whether a change is physical or chemical. The specific change is digesting a candy bar. When this happens, stomach acid is breaking down the candy into its base molecules. This means it becomes chemically different, making it a chemical change.

Isaiah 49:3, 5-6; Psalm 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10; 1 Corinthians 1:1-3; John 1:14a, 12a; John 1:29-34
God's word invites us to know Jesus in three ways: first, as the servant the prophet Isaiah describes; second, as the Lamb of God, as
John the Baptist calls him, who takes away the sins of the world; and finally and most importantly, as the Son of God. Isaiah's servant has been formed from the womb not only to bring God's people back to God, but also to be a light to the nations. Jesus fulfills this prophecy by his suffering and dying for us and for all peoples. He is truly the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world and restores us to God as beloved sons and daughters. A disciple of Jesus is one who learns from Jesus by being with Jesus. In learning who Jesus is, we learn who we are called to be.
Like John the Baptist in today's Gospel, we are to bring others to the Lord by how we live our lives and by a willingness to speak about our faith in him and the difference he has made in our lives. Do you see yourself as a true disciple of Jesus? How do you spend time with him?

This is how our TEFL graduates feel they have gained from their course, and how they plan to put into action what they learned:
Discipline in the ClassroomI chose the topic of Discipline in the Classroom because a knowledgeable teacher can be less affective than a less knowledgeable teacher who knows how to maintain discipline. I work in a university in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with colleagues from various ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience in teaching ESL and other subjects. I have interviewed three colleagues that have a good mix to draw from; I also did some internet research. A South African colleague with 4 years of experience teaching, who has taught english Literature at a university in his home country then went to South Korea to teach 3rd graders and finally here. In RSF he had no issues because whoever wanted to be there would respect the classroom. In Korea he had stated that discipline was never really an issue through the cultural values of Korea and through corporal punishment offered by his co-teacher. In KSA, he stated along with other colleagues, that he would have liked to implement corporal punishment, but it is not an option here. So, he has had to adopt an easy going, light hearted approach-in an attempt to be less threatening With clear and concise acknowledgement of what is acceptable and what is not, along with the consequences for unacceptable behavior, he has achieved
a stable classroom environment. Next, a Northeast American colleague with 8 years of experience in teaching; he has taught Economics and other Business classes along with TEFL in the united states and Canada; his career outside english speaking countries was in thailand, South Korea, and KSA. When asked about discipline in his classes he said that flexibility and adaptability has worked for him everywhere he has taught. In Korea and thailand, as like the aforementioned colleague from South Africa corporal punishment was what kept the students under control. In Canada and the united states it was the university system in which responsibility of a student's education was predominately in the hands of the students; here in Saudi he decided to incorporate a system where the rules were laid out from day one and no nonsense was accepted. It proved to be successful. Next a Southeastern American colleague with 20 years of experience teaching TEFL, Business english, and Medical english; has taught in the united states, Malaysia, Czechoslovakia [as whole country, after split in both czech Republic and Slovakia], Poland, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Saudi Arabia. He has taught children but primarily adults at universities,
post high school academies, and governmental agencies. His philosophy is that students who misbehave need to be included; with those students he tries to reach them on an individual level-have 'an inside joke' with this student(s). He believes that students want their teacher to like them whether they like their teacher or not; which means that students want the approval of the instructor. So, he uses this knowledge to build a team mentality where the rules are his and he is the unquestioned leader, in the attempt of achieving his goal of 'reaching the bar of civility'. The first website that I will reference , states that clear, fair, and concise rules are very good starters. An instructor can not lose control of their emotions, quiet implementation of the rules. It also states that rewarding bad behavior is wrong, good behavior should be acknowledged so the contrast is seen by all in the classroom. Also understanding where the teacher is employed is important from the factors of culture and institution backing in matters of discipline. The second website , states that an instructor should anticipate behavioral problems and include it in the lesson by refusing at the beginning of the class to teach until the chatter has stopped. It also, emphasized preparedness. Finally,
it attested that assertive and positive discipline is the right way to go.

Buffalo-Niagara Tomato Tastefest
This is just some of them!

Tie between Earl's Faux and Dice's Mystery Black.
Sweetest Tomato went to Sungold.
It was grown by Richard Price.
Second place was a tie between Hugh's and Rinaldo.

Amazing Gardening Coincidences
Part of front walk bed in late spring. The baby tree trunk is in the background.
This is a copy of an old posting of mine from Tomatoville:
Now I have just picked up these pkgs., and I'm examining the foreign words, and the door bell rings. My husband answers and then he is yelling for me, and I'm annoyed because I just want to look and eat! There is a guy at the door wanting to know where we purchased our new apple tree and how much did it cost.(Our old one died in the local freak October snow storm.) It is grafted with a few antique varieties. My husband doesn't remember the mail order company. I tell him and then he is asking if I have a catalog, so I get up and go look for one, and I finally got to the door.
There are actually 2 men, one about 40, one about 70. The younger man is apologizing for the older man who can't speak much English. The older man is pointing at the apple pictures saying with a thick accent, "Yes, yes." as if to say that he does want a tree like mine. He must of made the younger guy stop. My husband say to the younger man, "Where is he from? Yugoslavia?" To which the older man says one of the new parts of Yugoslavia. Then I say, "I just got tomato seed from there!" The older man says, "tomatoes?". Then the young man says, "Don't get him started on tomatoes." I went back in the house and got a pack of the St. Pierres, and hand it to the older man. He smiled and said the word Paradajz(tomato?) from the pkg. The younger guy says the older man has a huge vegetable garden. I then point telling the older man I have a garden in the back. He looked like a happy little kid, and just starts heading back! So we took a garden tour.He kept pointing and saying, "Beautiful!" in his thick accent. It was fun.
We came back out front, and the younger man thanked us and told the older man to give the seed pkg. back to me. I told him no, to keep it. Then they left.
When we got back inside, my husband looks at me and says, "How weird was that? What are the chance of that happening?"
It was incredible odd.

Hibiscus Fireball
I bought this this spring at a local nursery. I really didn't need another hibiscus. Where was I going to put it? Plus the tag showed red flowers. I'm not much for red flowers. Call me crazy, but they are not my thing. The foliage though was so pretty. It is cut like a maple, and dark. I couldn't resist and put it into my cart.
Late summer I realized it was money so well spent. Firstly, a new deck was built so of course a new flower bed was made. I had room for now plants! After planting mid-summer, it grew vigorously, and produced many blooms for a newly planted hibiscus. The blooms are huge! I didn't realize they would be so big. And the color ended up being a very pleasing deeply saturated red and not the brighter red of the tag.
If you see it for sale at a local nursery, I definitely recommend this beauty.

Cottage Gardens Daylilies
In July I finally decided I wanted to see Cottage Gardens Daylilies out in Medina. I called my friend Hilde who was more than up for the short trip. We made a day of it stopping for cherries on the side of the road on the way there. On the way home we went to get popcorn made on the side of the road in at Bye's in Olcott, and then we stopped at Gordie Harper's Bazaar restaurant/flea market in Newfane.
It rained all morning, but stopped by the time we got to Cottage Farms. I realized this ended up being a good thing since some daylilies don't endure raindrops as well as others. When we pulled we were in awe. I had no idea the place would be so big. I felt like Dorothy at the field of poppies. I just wanted to get out of the car and run!
Looking back towards the road.
We thought the big field of daylilies was it, and it definitely was more than enough, but there was a whole nother garden! The house garden. It was beautiful, a mix of newer daylily cultivars and perennials.
I ended up taking home Gentle Rose, Blueberry Breakfast, and Impish Charm.
Gentle Rose at the field
Blueberry Breakfast at home in the garden
Impish Charm just brought home looking a bit tired.
I'm already looking forward to next year's trip!
I took many more pics. You can see them by copying and pasting the link
(I still need to figure out how to make the link clickable.) Update, I figured it out!!

Wall Street Journal
Heirloom Purple Podded Peas
I was in the WSJ this past May about growing unusual vegetables. My cyber-gardening friend Jeanne from SC(who also appears in the article) had the writer, June Fletcher, contact me. I talked with her for some time. Though the article has some mistakes like I've grown Prudens Purple for years or I don't search out ugly tomatoes(I'm searching for great taste regardless of looks,) it was still in a good spirit and it was fun to see my name in the WSJ.
Here's the article:
WallStreet Journal
Pushing the Envelope on Vegetables
Friday May 16, 2:46 pm ET
By June Fletcher
Garden centers, catalogs and seed companies are promoting strange, splashy edibles not only to intrigue veteran gardeners who always seek the unusual, but also to inspire a new generation who -- until recently -- hadn't shown much interest in getting their hands in the dirt.
The amount of money U.S. consumers spent on vegetable gardens rose 22% in 2007, to $1.4 billion, from 2006, according to a survey conducted in January for the National Gardening Association, an industry-sponsored group. Another poll, conducted in February for the Garden Writers Association Foundation, found that 39% of gardeners planned to grow edible plants this spring, up from 32% a year earlier.
Though the odd-vegetable trend has been around for several seasons, more unusual crops are appearing in catalogs and garden-oriented Web sites this year. Gurney's, a mail-order purveyor, is promoting a purple-red Brussels sprout called Falstaff. Competitor Burpee has a white cherry tomato called Italian Ice and an heirloom Chinese radish, dubbed the Radish Watermelon, that looks like a white baseball with a bright pink center. Park Seed rolled out purple Pak Choi, golden beets and Big Rainbow yellow-and-red splotched tomatoes that grow to two pounds apiece.
For longtime aficionados of the quirky, such as Remy Orlowski, the plants add elements of visual and gustatory surprise to her landscape. This spring, the 44-year-old nutritionist has been weaving red okra, purple-podded peas and a spicy, splotched and twisted plant called a fish pepper among the flowers in her Tonawanda, N.Y., backyard. She also added two odd tomatoes -- Carbon, a deep maroon, and Pruden's Purple, which is actually pink -- to the 40 varieties she already grows.
Mrs. Orlowski says she always is on the lookout for "weird and ugly" tomatoes -- especially newly rediscovered heirlooms -- both because she wants to rescue varieties that may be on the brink of extinction and because she thinks they taste better than store-bought ones. But she and her husband, Gary, who works in a hospital-supply firm, sometimes encounter resistance when they try to give away their excess produce to co-workers. "It can be off-putting to some," she says of the odd variations.
Indeed, hitting the right note with unusual plants can be difficult, says , chairman and chief executive officer of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. of Warminster, Pa. While peculiar plants can be profitable to their sellers -- they're usually initially priced 10% to 20% more than old favorites -- they can take years of breeding to produce, and the market's reaction is unpredictable. Burpee's best-selling new vegetable last year was Golden Mama, a yellow-fleshed, egg-shaped tomato designed to make paste. It cooks down to a golden-yellow sauce instead of the unattractive grayish-brown glop that other yellow tomatoes typically produce. But some of Burpee's other recent introductions, including Purple Dragon Carrots and All Blue potatoes, were "flopperoos," says Mr. Ball. "The sight of blue is unappetizing to many people," he says. "I couldn't give them away."
And some unusual veggies require that gardeners do a bit of coddling. Ferry-Morse's new "Health Smart" vegetable collection includes exotic Hakurei Hybrid turnips, touted for their vitamin-rich tops and mild-tasting white flesh that can be chopped raw into salads, as well as Nutri-Red carrots, promoted as high in the nutrient lycopene. However, the company's Web site warns that the turnips need to be harvested when they're between 2 inches and 3½ inches in diameter or they become woody, while the carrots can crack if they're watered too much.
Still, some gardeners enjoy a challenge. Jeanne Hertzog, 58, a retired police captain who owns a pet-sitting business, grows both traditional and off-the-wall vegetables in her nine-acre Lexington, S.C., yard, as well as in nearly 80 patio pots. She likes to experiment with growing techniques -- she once grew an heirloom tomato upside down through a hole in a hanging bucket -- as well as bizarre plants, such as the Egyptian Walking Onion, which puts out small bulbs on the ends of stalks that fall over and take root, running rampant through the garden if not kept under control. Although the unusual veggies can be a lot of work, and they don't always measure up to standard ones in flavor -- a "chocolate" pepper she grew had an off taste -- she says their strangeness is part of the charm. This spring, she started an "odd, odder, oddest" seed swap on an online gardening forum, and received seeds for Cinnamon Basil, Green Zebra tomatoes and Apple Green eggplants. "I'm always interested in something new," she says.
Charlie Nardozzi, senior horticulturist for the National Gardening Association, says some people grow odd veggies simply to be on the cutting edge. Other, environmentally motivated gardeners are trying to resurrect long-forgotten native plants. Mike Robins, a 27-year-old Burtonsville, Md., graphic designer, has planted an old Indian staple, Apios Americana -- also known as the Hog Peanut or groundnut -- in a patio pot this spring. The rangy vine was so prized by 17th-century colonists that they punished Indians who dug its starchy tubers with the stocks or whipping. But the bulbous tubers take two years to reach edible size, so Mr. Robins will have to do a lot of watering and fertilizing before he can harvest them. "I have no idea what they taste like," he says.
Eccentric edibles have been converting some die-hard veggie-spurners, like Michelle Reynolds, into fans. Last season, on a lark, the 36-year-old Quincy, Ill., homemaker grew blue potatoes -- which she mixed with red and white ones for Fourth of July french fries -- as well as white oval cucumbers, "rainbow" carrots in red, orange, yellow and green, and tiny, pastel-hued "Easter Egg" eggplants. The veggies were such a hit with her two preschoolers -- particularly her 5-year-old son, Timmy -- that she plans to plant more this spring. "He likes the pretty colors," she says. And she adds that she likes the way they taste, too.

Psychologists say games can help teens study and avoid exam stress
News - 24 Apr 2017
Psychologists have suggested that playing games in moderation can help teenagers study, improve their memory and reduce exam stress - particularly visual and strategic games.
Last year there was a 20% rise in the number of teenagers contacting Childline about exam stress, according to a recent newspaper supplement.
And psychologists have said that playing games may help teens focus better, as well as boost their strategic thinking and social skills.
The 'Exclusively Education' supplement in the Essex Chronicle, Brentwood Gazette and Essex Live, states that games also teach people that if a strategy's not working - they need to change direction.
Educational psychologist Kairen Cullen said: "Our brains thrive on variety and stimulation and sitting for hours in front of written text can certainly dull the appetite for learning, so the addition of traditional and computer-based games, social interaction and physical activity is to be encouraged."
Internet psychologist Graham Jones added: "One of the best ways of trying to remember facts is to visualize them. And a classic technique is to place the facts in picture form on a familiar journey.
"So a game that improves visual thinking would be good - video games for example.
"They improve visualisation and so would help students more easily use the journey technique."
The report said that longer, more complex strategic games can help the user consider alternative courses of actions and risks, and can help improve attention span.
These games can increase levels of focus and concentration.
The report also said that taking 20 minute study breaks, followed by 20 minutes of studying, was another effective technique.
Another report from Oxford University found that spending 4 hours 17 minutes a day on computers on average allows adolescents to improve social skills and support without impacting their wellbeing. However, it did advise people to avoid blue light such as that from smartphone screens, especially before sleeping.

Traders' split comes to the fore at meeting with Chavan
The traders' strike in Mumbai fizzled out on Thursday as the tussle between ruling Congress and NCP caused a split in the traders' outfit that had organised a month-long strike against local body tax (LBT).mumbai Updated: May 24, 2013 01:55 IST
The traders' strike in Mumbai fizzled out on Thursday as the tussle between ruling Congress and NCP caused a split in the traders' outfit that had organised a month-long strike against local body tax (LBT).
While the Federation of Associations in Maharashtra (FAM) decided to meet chief minister Prithviraj Chavan for talks only in the presence of NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Friday, some wholesalers defied it and took part in the meeting organised by the Congress Party on Thursday. The Congress, which galvanised into action after traders met NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Sunday, also roped in retailers for Thursday's meeting.
In his meeting, Chavan clarified that there was no deadline for implementing LBT. It would be debated in the legislature and the law would be modified before adopting LBT.
"Mumbai traders' apprehension of LBT has disappeared as the chief minister promised to take them into confidence while framing the LBT rules," said Janardhan Chandurkar, Mumbai Congress President.
On the absence of FAM, Chandurkar said: "FAM is not the only organisation and we had others in the meeting who were happy with the outcome."
Viren Shah, president of Federation of Retail Traders Welfare Association, said he was satisfied with the assurance given by the chief minister.
"Chavan asked us to provide our views and assured that he won't push through the LBT," said Shah.
Various wholesalers' organisations representing steel and metal, artificial jewellery and paints attended the meeting apart from the retailers.
FAM expressed displeasure over the meeting.
"It is unfortunate that the state is trying to divide the traders. The Friday meeting was decided before and our members from across the state are attending it. It would amount to betrayal if we had attended the meeting today," said Mohan Gurnani.

My fiance and I are looking for a cheap location for weddings. It doesn't have to be in any particular location. Due to my culture, it is etiquette to fly my relatives in from Japan and cover hotel and food. I need the wedding to be elegant but cheap. I was thinking Vegas but I also would love my pug dog to be in the wedding as well. Can anyone help me please?

If you live in an area with nice weather, city parks sometimes will let you have an outdoor wedding at the park for free or cheap. Sometimes they even have facilities you can use for the reception. My friend was married at a local park that had a gazebo that was used for weddings. It was a very popular spot, and the city didn't charge anything for it. You just had to book way in advance.
I suggest an inexpesive cruise. All of the entertainment, all the meals and rooms to sleep in with their own private bathroom...you can't beat it for the cost.
We live in IL & were going to get charged $700 & up to stand in the lobby of a reception hall for 15 minutes to exchange our wedding vows. That was ridiculous so we decided to elope/get married where we planned to go for our honeymoon which is called the "Wedding Capital of the South"...the Smoky Mountains of TN. When my family from IL heard this, they said they all wanted to come down & participate there with us. I am having a smaller wedding with about 60 people. I am getting married in a beautiful mountaintop chapel overlooking the Great Smokies (great photo opportunities), we're holding our reception at an upscale BBQ restaurant in the area for $18 per person & getting our wedding cake from a local grocer for $60. Lodging in the area is also reasonably priced. Start looking online or contact the local tourism bureaus of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge & Sevierville & they will send you information on planning your wedding. Good luck!
I live in Orlando Florida and looking for a cheap and also nice place for my wedding and reception together. Thank you. We wish for it to be in Orlando so our family can be with us on this special day.
I am getting married in March 2009 and I live in San Diego, CA. We are planning to have about 100 guests and have a budget of about $3,000.

When searching for alternatives to mothballs, many people forget that there are beautiful and eco-friendly options that they may have overlooked at first. This is great news since pulling out your winter wardrobe and finding that you need over $1000 worth of replacements is not easy. On top of that, people that have disabilities are often sensitive to chemicals and mothballs are full of unwanted wafting fumes.
Despite all the worry that moth prevention entails, with a few tips and some basic background knowledge you will have a healthier way to evict moths.
Only put clean clothes in storage – Cleaning is a beautification process in and of itself. It is also a great way to prevent moths. Of course, you cannot clean the wool that moths love without taking it to the dry cleaners. If you are alarmed that toxic dry cleaning is suggested, do not worry. There is no need to fear dry cleaning toxins these days since many cleaners have environmentally friendly methods that specifically work on moth prevention.
Put stored clothing in sealed containers – No one is perfect, and there is always a chance that you or someone else in your household will forget to clean everything before you put it in storage for the summer. Unfortunately, moths are attracted to any kind of human or animal protein. This means that the late spring cold snap where you wore your jacket could now be an attractive place for moths to feed. For this reason, find some wooden or plastic boxes for storing your woolens. This procedure will keep moths out and the storage boxes can be built into rolling stools, furniture, or other clever re-use ideas.
Herbs, pomanders and potpourri sachets – With some of Mother Nature's favorite herbs and spices, you can make a variety of attractive anti-moth alternatives. Place the herbs in a loose-knit bag (cheesecloth) and let the scents do their work. A few ribbons and beads make it look fancy.
One problem that some people have comes from storing the herbs on top of the clothing. This could cause staining from the herb oils and needs to be avoided. You can also hang pomanders made from citrus fruits embedded with cloves. The following are some herbs known to prevent moths:
Cinnamon (chips or sticks; not powdered)
Bay leaves,
Leaves from eucalyptus
Red Cedar lined closets – Depending on where you live, cedar can be easy to come by and is certainly beautiful. The point is that you need to make sure that the cedar is free of other pests before you start nailing it to the inside of your closet. The moths will hate the smell and you will get to have your clothing perfumed with the pleasant cedar aroma.
One additional tip is that you do not cover your cedar boards in paint or clear sealer. Instead, let the unfinished wood stand and use sandpaper periodically to re-release the scented oils in the wood. In a pinch, you can also use cedar chips that are sold for hamster cages.
Finally, no matter what cedar product you use, you will need to remember to check for the smell. If the smell of cedar (or any moth preventing herb) is not strong, it will need to be reinvigorated with light sanding, buying new cedar chips, replacing the herbs, or a new bottle of essential oil.
