The 61-year-old took viewers around the world, including the Middle East, with his popular TV series.
Tributes are flowing for Anthony Bourdain, a celebrated US chef, writer and TV presenter, who took his own life at the age of 61.
Throughout his career, Bourdain took viewers around the world with his popular television series, Parts Unknown. The show launched in 2013 after he joined CNN in a move that many viewed as risky for both the network and Bourdain.
He was found dead in a hotel room in France's Strasbourg, where he had been working on an upcoming episode of his programme, CNN said in a statement on Friday.
Last year, Bourdain boiled down the main idea behind Parts Unknown for the New Yorker magazine: "I travel around the world, eat a lot of s***, and basically do whatever the f*** I want."
The show featured meals in both out-of-the-way restaurants and the homes of locals, providing what the New Yorker called a "communion with a foreign culture so unmitigated that it feels practically intravenous."
Bourdain visited the occupied West Bank and Gaza in 2013, showcasing local food and highlighting life under the occupation.

Anthony Bourdain is dead. A true loss. One of the few voices in #US media that gave nuanced, interesting views on #Lebanon & #Gaza. A personal hero of mine with his book(s), who inspired me to cook better as well.— Nabih (@nabihbulos) June 8, 2018

He also went to Libya where he looked at life after long-time ruler Muammar Gaddafi.
He concluded the episode by saying: "This is a place that's filled with a lot of extraordinary people who have done an extraordinary thing on very short notice, under very difficult circumstances, and at a very difficult time - who are continuing to do the best they can, and I wish them well."
He visited Oman and Lebanon in 2015.
It wasn't his first time in Lebanon, where he had gone to shoot an episode of the show No Reservations in 2006. The show was interrupted by the outbreak of war between Hezbollah and Israel, but Bourdain's love for Lebanon was cemented.
"There's no place else even remotely like it. Everything great and all the world's ills all in one glorious, messed up, magical, maddening, magnificent city. Beirut. It's good to be back," he said.
Also in 2015, CNN aired Bourdain's show on Iran.
"I am so confused. It wasn't supposed to be like this. Of all of the places, of all the countries, all the years of traveling, it's here in Iran that I am greeted most warmly by total strangers," he said.
"Of all the places, of all the countries, all the years of traveling, it's here in Iran, that I am greeted most warmly by strangers." #RIP #AnthonyBourdain— Dr. Nina Ansary (@drninaansary) June 8, 2018
Bourdain's profile began to soar in 1999 when the New Yorker published his article Don't Eat Before Reading This, which he developed into the 2000 book, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly.
He went on to host television programmes, first on the Food Network and the Travel Channel, before joining CNN.
"His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller," CNN said in its statement.
"His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much."
Here are some social media reactions to Bourdain's death:

Bourdain on Palestine: It's a measure I guess of how twisted and shallow our depiction of a people is that these images come as a shock to so many. The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity.— Diana Buttu (@dianabuttu) June 8, 2018
Black folks loved this man because he didn't appropriate, when it came to us all he could do was celebrate. He told the world we were the center of Southern&Brazilian food and he let us speak for ourselves. #AnthonyBourdain was the John Brown of food media.— Michael W. Twitty (@KosherSoul) June 8, 2018
#AnthonyBourdain covered the crises in Puerto Rico with respect- a reminder of what honest media can do- he gave a platform to food sovereignty work in PR & let all know US policies are starving our ppl to serve US corporate interests- his passing is a real loss -may he RIP— Elizabeth Yeampierre (@yeampierre) June 8, 2018
I've interviewed hundreds of celebrities in my time; #AnthonyBourdain is one of the few I ever asked to take a photo with. Thank you, Toño, for everything that you did. May you have found the peace that you sought in life... pic.twitter.com/a5DflCGevR— GustavoArellano (@GustavoArellano) June 8, 2018

Delivery of an oil refinery plant to Volgograd
Italy, UAE, Korea, India, Spain, Turkey - the city of Volgograd2013 - 2014
From April to August 2014, the company Chandler has carried out the supply of a reactor with the auxiliary equipment for the construction of a new refinery plant in Volgograd.
Among the aspects of the total weight, the dimensions of the individual packages, the prescribed transport operations and the set time limits, the plant was on different routes with different modes of transport, including multiple ships, sea-river pontoons and various species transported by special land vehicles.
As part of the delivery equipment with a total weight of 9,000 tons and the cargo volume of 43,000 cubic meters (incl was. Reactor of the two parts with the masses 37.32 x 8.55 x 7.34 m, with a weight of 1,116 tons and 32.78 x 8.55 x 7.30 m with the weight of 845 tons and a column with the dimensions 67.15 x 7.27 x 7.56 m, and a weight of 500 tons) transported.
Within the six months prior to the transport start an engineering survey for the entire road transport route, the Ro-Ro jetty and the jetty was performed, amplifying a 160 m long dam and a road section with the length of 1,052 m for the transport of more than 1000 t heavy goods expanded.

As the Nov. 8 election draws closer, one ballot question has caused a firestorm among Cambridge voters.
Question 2, which looks to almost triple the number of charter schools in the next 10 years, has been opposed by both the Cambridge School Committee and City Council.
The ballot question asks voters whether they support allowing the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to lift a cap on the number of charter schools in the commonwealth. This would allow up to 12 new charter schools or expansions of existing charters every year. Right now, there are 78 charter schools in the state, and the law currently states no more than 120 charter schools may operate in Massachusetts.
Charter schools were also a major point of contention for Sen. Pat Jehlen and her challenger, Councilor Leland Cheung, in the primary race for Jehlen's state Senate seat in September, which Jehlen won. Jehlen is skeptical of the initiative, while Cheung supports it. In the days leading up to the primary, two special interest groups on opposite sides of the debate began funneling money into the Second Middlesex district race to support the candidates who backed their side, starting what some called a proxy war over Question 2.
In a recent column submitted to the Cambridge Chronicle from Mayor Denise Simmons, Vice Mayor Marc McGovern, councilors Craig Kelley and Tim Toomey, and School Committee members Kathleen Kelly, Richard Harding and Fred Fantini, the city officials urged residents to vote "no" on Question 2, stating charter schools cost Cambridge taxpayers $11 million per year.
The city officials said charters are funded by local property taxes from the communities where the charter students reside, regardless of whether the community or communities support the opening of the charter school. Although the present cap allows for an additional 18 charter schools to open, this referendum would allow an additional 12 charter schools to open each year, meaning statewide there could be 140 new charters in 10 years, the letter said. Currently, four percent of students attend charters and 96 percent of Cambridge students attend public schools, they said.
"Charter school advocates will tell you that their students are chosen by lottery, therefore they don't 'choose' their students. What they don't tell you is that charters have far higher expulsion rates than public schools. Those students who win the lottery, if their behaviors or needs turn out to be too great, are forced out of their charter and return back to the public school system," the letter said.
In response, Dom Slowey, spokesperson for the Massachusetts Charter School Association, told the Chronicle there was "no truth" to the claims made by districts that charter schools micro-engineer their enrollment.
"Charter schools welcome all students and, by law, provide the same services to all students required of districts. What's more, charter schools retain students at a higher rate than district schools, providing evidence that fewer children leave charter schools compared to district schools," Slowey said.
Currently, Cambridge has the resources to pay for local students who attend charter schools without affecting the public school district's budget, according to the city officials' letter. However, not all public school districts are in the same position.
Quoting data from Question 2 opposition group Save Our Public Schools, the letter from city officials claimed, "The 71 charter schools operating in Massachusetts educate just less than 4 percent of Massachusetts children—only 32,000 students—yet they will siphon off more than $450 million this year alone. This money would otherwise stay in neighborhood public schools and be used to improve learning for all students."
Two members of the City Council and School Committee, Patricia Nolan and Jan Devereux, separated themselves from the pack, writing a column this week in the Chronicle, supporting Question 2. Their support is based largely on the need for more educational attention among "high-need" students.
"The three charter schools in Cambridge have a higher percentage of 'high needs' students than our district and far higher percentage of students of color," they wrote. "The reason everyone in Cambridge and the state who cares about equity in education should vote 'yes' on 2 is that our charter schools work for exactly the population they were designed to serve: low-income, in urban systems, students of color."
In another letter published in the Chronicle this month, Marc Kenen, executive director of the Massachusetts Charter Public School Association, claimed the School Committee's recent vote against Question 2 was based on the "false assumption that voting for it would harm public education." Kenen called the tactics used by the teacher unions and other charter opponents "shameful."
"A yes vote on Question 2 would allow the state to approve additional charters in the state's lowest performing districts in a measured and strategic way, allowing for charters to grow where they are most needed and ensuring fair access to high quality public schools," Kenen wrote.
According to Kenen, charter schools do not subtract from public education, but add to it. Because Cambridge is not a community that ranks in the bottom 25 percent, it will not be prioritized for new charters once the city reaches current caps, he wrote.
"By voting against Question 2, the Cambridge School Committee is asking residents to deny equal access to parents whose children are being educated in some of the worst school systems in the state," he said.
The public education dollars used to fund charters are still being used to educate children in public schools, according to Kenen. Since 1998, the state has provided more than $1 billion in additional aid to school districts that lose students to charters, according to his letter.
The city officials who oppose Question 2 proposed that if the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education does invest in charter schools, that the state should fund the charter schools directly.
"National statistics show charters and public schools are essential equal in educating their students. They offer choice, as do private schools, denominational schools and home schooling. But they are not public schools and should not be funded by municipal tax dollars," the letter said.
Proponents disagree, saying it's essential for the city to offer choices for those more high-need students whose families do not have the option of sending their children to private schools.
"We strongly value choice, including in schools, and love that Cambridge has school choice, implemented in the face of a desegregation order," wrote Nolan and Devereux. "In our city many - far more than in most districts – opt out of public schools and go to private schools. We cannot in good conscience vote to limit the choices for those families who cannot afford that option. In Cambridge and Massachusetts those choosing charter schools are overwhelmingly low-income families of color who believe their children will be better served."
The proposed law would take effect Jan. 1, 2017, if passed.
Cambridge Chronicle editor, Amy Saltzman, contributed to this report.

A growing nation of genetically evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both sides are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species.
Much like its prequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is heavily rooted in exploring the nature of mankind, both good and evil, and it takes this a step further by extending this to the apes as well. There are humans that seek peace with the apes and humans that view them as inferior creatures that should be put in their place. On the other side, there are apes that also seek peace with the humans and others that believe all humans are evil and should be wiped out.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is set in a world where humans are recovering from a deadly simian virus that nearly wiped out the human population, leading to wars and chaos. Ironically, the virus was created by a man who was seeking to cure his father's Alzheimer's, suggesting that mankind will bring about its own downfall. A small group of survivors has managed to create a home in the ruins of a city and are attempting to repair a hydroelectric dam to restore power. However, the dam lies in close proximity to the abode of the intelligent apes. This leads both parties to consider whether they wish to make peace with one another or go to war.
In comparison to the human refuge, which is focused on rebuilding, the ape city is just past its infant stages. It is built out of wood and complete with its own little school where Maurice the Orangutan teaches young apes the alphabet. The world building for the ape city interested me, particularly with how all the apes now speak through sign language (with the exception of Caesar and Koba, who are capable of speaking English).
The character that stood out the most was obviously Caesar, who is akin to a simian Moses, having liberated them from their captivity in the prequel and now founded an ape city. I was fascinated by Caesar. He is clearly noticeable even among all the apes by the dignified way he carries himself, and he is portrayed as incredibly wise. Caesar does not want war with the humans, as he is aware of the incredible losses the apes would suffer if they did so. Having been raised by a good man, he also knows of the goodness that some humans possess. That is not to say that all apes are good. Like humans, they have different personalities, and there are some that fight as strongly for war as Caesar advocates peace.
The humans don't stand out as much and fall flat as characters. This is understandable since the film is primarily focused on the apes. Mostly, they serve to show the complex, varying facets of human nature. The leader of the human survivors is Dreyfus, who appears to be level-headed at first but proves narrow-minded he in advocating a human-ape war with the point that "THEY'RE ANIMALS!" despite having witnessed how intelligent Caesar is. This adds a theme of racism, as Caesar had just demonstrated an intelligence that rivaled if not surpassed many humans, yet Dreyfus is insistent on the apes' inferiority. Contrasting Dreyfus is Malcolm, a man who is amazed by Caesar and truly respects him. While Dreyfus advocates war, Malcolm tries to establish peace with the apes.
I enjoyed this film thoroughly. While the plot is fairly predictable at points, it was still a memorable film, with the depth of the apes and their culture making it enjoyable and intriguing.

Investors challange Zuckerberg
MARK Zuckerberg's tight control over Facebook is under assault from shareholders even before his social networking giant joins the public market.
One of the largest pension funds in the US has promised to take on the company over weak corporate governance structures and the highly unusual decision-making power handed to its 27-year-old founder.
The California State Teachers' Retirement System, Calstrs, says it will raise its concerns in a letter to Facebook and try to get it to change its policies before a stock-market flotation planned for this spring.
Facebook said last week that it would sell around US$5 billion worth of shares to the public, an offering that could value the company at $75 billion-$100 billion.
In a prospectus for the share offering, Mr Zuckerberg's dominance over Facebook's decision making became clear for the first time. He owns about 28 per cent of Facebook and some of his early backers, including DST Global and Accel Partners, have given him irrevocable voting rights over their stakes, too. In addition, the shares being sold to the public will have only one-tenth of the voting power of founders' shares.
Mr Zuckerberg has the sole right to appoint his successor, and if founders' shares dwindle over time as a proportion of the company, further restrictions will kick in limiting the power of other shareholders to nominate board members.
Calstrs, which manages $145 billion, said "there should be some more respect for capital".

Six Years in an Arctic Medical Outpost
House Calls by Dogsled
Book Description"People go north for a variety of reasons, some stay for a lifetime, while others can't wait to leave at the end of whatever term they have signed on for. The north tends to be either loved or hated with equal passion." These are the words of Keith Billington, who with his wife Muriel, arrived in the Northwest Territories outpost of Fort McPherson, 1,700 miles north of Edmonton, in mid-September 1964. They were among those who loved the North and stayed for six years. Keith, a nurse, and Muriel, a midwife, were barely into their twenties and fresh from England when they arrived, eager to put their brand new skills to work. Their clients were the Gwich'in people, who taught them how to snowshoe, choose a dog team and live off the land.
These two young professionals were all the medical help available at the births of babies and the tragic deaths of other children, they were the first to tend gun-shot victims and deal with illnesses made worse by the isolation. Their story also tells of caribou hunts, fishing in summer lakes and travelling in winter by dog team, of sun-returning parties, and drum-dancing and New Year feasts. The book concludes with Keith leading a group who retrace the route of the tragic RCMP "Lost Patrol." This is a delightfully warm celebration of the north in the days just before skidoos and cell phones took the edge off the isolation.

OTTAWA LAKE ? White-ford Township once again will seek a 40-year loan through the U.S. Department of Agriculture to pay for a sanitary sewer system in Ottawa Lake.
OTTAWA LAKE — White-ford Township once again will seek a 40-year loan through the U.S. Department of Agriculture to pay for a sanitary sewer system in Ottawa Lake.
The township was found in violation of the state's clean water act a couple of years ago when E. coli was found in a ditch in Ottawa Lake. The township since has sought grants and low-interest loans to pay for a new system but thus far has come up empty-handed.
Supervisor Walter Ruhl said at Tuesday's board meeting that the township needs to keep moving ahead or face penalties.
"We have a $25,000-a-day fine hanging over our heads if we don't move forward with this project," he said. "It's my duty to keep the township out of harm's way."
While some in the township believe they both should be addressed at the same time, the sanitary sewer and water issues are different, Mr. Ruhl said. While the township has been informed it needs to do something about a community well, there are no mandates by the state or local health departments to do it.
"That is two separate projects," he said of the water.
Mr. Ruhl said the township would prefer a USDA loan for the sewer project because it spreads the cost over a longer period of time and would make it more affordable for residents.
The township has distributed surveys to residents within the unincorporated Village of Ottawa Lake, seeking facts and input for the project. The township will start with the pre-loan application now, working with its engineer, David Arthur Consultants.
"We've been through this hoop before," Mr. Ruhl said.
A public hearing on the next step was heard the township board meeting.

Soft hackles are great for beginners. There is not much to learn, a simple roll cast will do. Cast the fly into a nice seem and let the fly swing. Start of with short casts then progressively get longer. Even a bad cast can produce fish, on a soft hackle. Since fish feed subsurface most of them, give these killer flies a shot.
Stone Flies can be used at any time, I am starting to get into swinging soft hackles, with my 4wt TFO Deer Creek Switch. This is a killer pattern tied by my good buddie Tom Lienhard.

A Child of the Jago/Chapter 4
When Dicky Perrott came running into Jago Row with the Bishop's watch in his pocket, another boy punched a fist at him, and at the time Dicky was at a loss to guess the cause—unless it were a simple caprice—but stayed neither to enquire nor to retaliate. The fact was that the Ranns and the Learys were coming out, fighting was in the air, and the small boy, meeting another a trifle smaller, punched on general principles. The Ranns and the Learys, ever at war or in guarded armistice, were the great rival families—the Montagues and the Capulets—of the Old Jago. The Learys, indeed, scarce pretended to rivalry—rather to factious opposition. For the Ranns gloried in the style and title of the "Royal Family." and dominated the Jago; but there were mighty fighters, men and women, among the Learys, and when a combat arose it was a hard one and an animated. The two families ramified throughout the Jago, and under the Rann standard, whether by kin or by custom, were the Gullens, the Fishers, the Spicers, and the Walshes; while in the Leary train came Dawsons, Greens, and Harnwells. So that near all the Jago was wont to be on one side or the other, and any of the Jago which was not was apt to be the worse for it, for the Ranns drubbed all them that were not of their faction in the most thorough and most workmanlike manner, and the Learys held by the same practice; so that neutrality meant double drubbing. But when the Ranns and Learys combined, and the Old Jago issued forth in its entire might against Dove Lane, then the battle was one to go miles to see.
This, however, was but a Rann and Leary fight; and it was but in its early stages when Dicky Perrott, emerging from Jerry Gullen's back yard, made for Shoreditch High Street by way of the "Posties"—the passage with posts at the end of Old Jago Street. His purpose was to snatch a handful of hay from some passing wagon, or of mixed fodder from some unguarded nosebag, wherewith to reward the sympathy of Jerry Gullen's canary. But by the "Posties," at the Edge Lane corner, Tommy Rann, capless and with a purple bump on his forehead, came flying into his arms, breathless, exultant, a babbling braggart. He had fought Johnny Leary and Joe Dawson, he said, one after the other, and pretty nigh broke Johnny Leary's blasted neck; and Joe Dawson's big brother was after him now with a bleed'n' shovel. So the two children ran on together and sought the seclusion of their own back yard, where the story of Tommy Rann's prowess, with scowls and the pounding of imaginary foes, and the story of the Bishop's watch, with suppressions and improvements, mingled and contended in the thickening dusk; and Jerry Gullen's canary went forgotten and unrequited.
That night fighting was sporadic and desultory in the Jago. Bob the Bender was reported to have a smashed nose, and Sam Cash had his head bandaged at the hospital. At the Bag of Nails in Edge Lane, Snob Spicer was knocked out of knowledge with a quart pot, and Cocko Harnwell's missis had a piece bitten off of one ear. As the night wore on, taunts and defiances were bandied from window to door and from door to window, between those who intended to begin fighting to-morrow; and shouts from divers corners gave notice of isolated scuffles. Once a succession of piercing screams seemed to betoken that Sally Green had begun. There was a note in the screams of Sally Green's opposites which the Jago had learned to recognize. Sally Green, though of the weaker faction, was the female champion of the Old Jago: an eminence won and kept by fighting tactics peculiar to herself. For it was her way, reserving teeth and nails, to wrestle closely with her antagonist, throw her by a dexterous twist on her face, and fall on her, instantly seizing the victim's nape in her teeth, gnawing and worrying. The sufferer's screams were audible afar, and beyond their invariable eccentricity of quality—a quality vaguely suggestive of dire surprise—they had a mechanical persistence, a pumplike regularity, that distinguished them, in the accustomed ear, from other screams.
Josh Perrott had not been home all the evening; probably the Bishop's watch was in course of transmutation into beer. Dicky, stiff and domestically inclined, nursed Looey and listened to the noises without till he fell asleep, in hopeful anticipation of the morrow. For Tommy Rann had promised him half of a broken iron railing wherewith to fight the Learys.

Remembering Elizabeth Edwards
From her final message to supporters: "The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human. But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious."
The team at Think Progress (where is was a Fellow) outlines her policy legacy: "During the 2008 presidential campaign, Elizabeth—a regular contributor to the Wonk Room throughout the health care reform debate and a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress—took to our blog and challenged conservatives for releasing a health care plan that would have excluded millions of Americans who suffered from pre-existing or chronic conditions. "Why are people like me left out of your health care proposal," Elizabeth asked Republicans, pointing out that market-based proposals would leave millions of Americans "outside the clinic doors" and allow insurance companies free reign to continue excluding sicker beneficiaries."
Jonathan Cohn recalls her policy acumen: Edwards took her advocacy seriously and, fittingly, she was a serious advocate. A lawyer with a degree from the University of North Carolina, Edwards studied the health care system closely. Having interviewed her a few times, I can tell you that she understood the policy debate better than most politicians and, yes, quite a few journalists. But it was her passion for the issue that really stood out. She thought that making the health care system more decent and humane was a moral imperative. And she didn't shy away from talking about it in those terms.
James Fallows remembers meeting her during Edwards' 2004 campaign: "The longer the evening went on, the more people kept deferring to and asking questions of Elizabeth Edwards. By the end, it was like a seminar that she was conducting for the rest. She was talking mainly not about her husband's campaign but about her assessment of the larger shape of the presidential race. Where Bush and Cheney would be most vulnerable in the general election; what Karl Rove had figured out; how the New Hampshire results would position the Democrats for 'mini-Tuesday' the next week and 'super-Tuesday' a month later; how Democrats could talk about economic justice without sounding like big-government spendthrifts; what to say and do about Iraq.There was nothing 'brave' or tragic about it, just someone who was intelligent, clear-eyed, and tough. I would like to remember that accomplished side of her."
Jonathan Alter remembers their friendship, and shared struggle with cancer: When I arrived, Elizabeth told me that cancer had essentially freed her to say whatever the hell she wanted. Then she proved it, by questioning the one thing all presidential candidates and their spouses must embrace—religious faith: "I'm not praying for God to save me from cancer. God will enlighten me when the time comes. And if I've done the right thing, I will be enlightened. And if I believe, I'll be saved. And that's all he promises me."

The Sahel / Sahara as a board game, and other links
July 6, 2012 Leave a comment
If North Africa and the Sahel were a board game, it would look something like this. Oil wells give you 1 resource card each turn, 3 for that uranium up in Niger – if you can hold it.
From Staying for Tea, a humerous look at social media, IT and other harsh realities affecting development workers. (And the sequal, in which Cracked.com wins for the most influential blog post on development aid.)
Senegal's elections: the new president gets a big majority in the legislature. Election day was pretty quiet here in Dakar, and most people I talked to seemed more apathetic than anything else. Students will be happy at the result, though.
Another Syrian general defects, apparently "because of anger at civilian deaths." I suspect there's some self-interest involved as well, with Assad's isolation growing. But if these defections are motivated, at least in part, by Assad's atrocities, it does give one some hope for that country.
Gotta add Mali to the list today: interim president is still recovering in Paris from after being assualted by demonstrators in his own office, and now a cholera outbreak is reported in Gao (French link). I hate to not balance this with something positive, but it's hard to see a way out of this chaos anytime soon.
Happy belated birthday, USA!

I've had this pattern since it came out in 2011. The lines in the pattern seemed to render sexiness and a soft sex appeal. It reminds me of an up side down tulip.
Described: as Misses' skirt: fitted, above mid-knee or mid-calf length, mocked wrap. I made the longer of the two skirts for fear of the shorter one being a little sluttish. Not knowing how far the wrap would gape open.
The sizes: are AA(6-12) and EE(14-20). I cut the line 16 and used a red t-shirt knit from the stash. It has the textured of a more expensive t-shirt knit than one you'd buy at a chain market.
The instructions: were very easy to understand. However, I don't know why Vogue have you using unnecessary pieces for underlining the side insets at the hip. I thought it would make too much fabric in an undesirable area. Especially on the side with the gathers.
The only alterations I made were to leave off the underlining. Regardless to reading the instructions, I constructed the skirt my own way. Like I do with most of my sewing.
I like: the lines and 'tulip' look. It fits and make the booty look good. IMO.
Caution: I am not sure if I didn't understand or if it is how the instructions are meant to be, but at step 13 you pin the back yoke to back skirt. The middle of the yokes seem like they should be sewn with a center seam. However, in the photos they don't even touch and there is no mention as if they should or shouldn't. I put a center seam and kept going. It turned out great. But I can also see how it would have worked had I not put the center seam.
I paired the skirt with:
Very OOP, 2005, and I like the pattern a lot. I've made the wrap top several times before my blogging days were born.
It's described: as Misses' six sizes in one. I cut the tank in a size 12 using a very soft gray t-shirt knit, also from the stash. I can still remember those days when I would cringe at the thought of a knit fabric. But now, I catch that knit by the heels and show it who's boss! I love to sew with knits now.
I like that this pattern renders a very nice TNT pattern for the basic v-neck T.
I didn't like: the just turn and stitch feature at the shoulders but that doesn't warrant me to not make it nor recommend it. That's an easy fit depending on the look you are going after. Me, I wanted something I could easily put on for shopping and doing errands rather than my usual jeans and top.
I did make a booboo. I put the neck band on perfectly! On the wrong side. I fixed it. It came out even better!
Alterations are that I left off the shoulder draw strings.
Here are few more photos taken on Aloe and of me wearing my outfit today.
Until later. Don't stop sewing!

This morning I was finalizing the my vCenter Appliance configuration and realized that something stopped working. For some reason, I could not open the console of a VM using vCenter.
If I were to login directly on host, then I would have no issues opening the console of the VM. I started looking around the on the web as to what it could be, some suggestions implied to make sure and have ports TCP 902/903 open. In my case, I knew they were open since this is in my lab and I don't have anything out of the ordinary configured to block those ports. But to be sure, I tested this theory. I went a head and tried telneting on to the ESXi host on port 902
As you can see in the image above, was able to successfully telnet on port 902. Once I've gotten that out of the way, I was able to rule out the "port rule blocking" in my lab. Then I realized something. Unlike before, when I added my host to vCenter, I used a DNS name, rather than an IP. Because my management PC is not on the domain and doesn't have the right DNS server settings configured for that domain, I could not ping the host by name. So to get around that, I added two entries in the hosts file so that I could resolve the host IP using its name.
I then went back to vCenter and tried launching the console again. At this point I was able to successfully open. DNS plays an important part in vCenter and it is important to make sure we have it setup correctly or else we can experience issues that otherwise can be avoided.

With the myriad number of controversies and scandals that the Trump administration has had to deal with over the president's first term, it seems increasingly unlikely that Donald Trump will make it through another year in the White House, let alone win a second term in 2020's Presidential elections. Now that the FBI is investigating his campaign's alleged links to Russia, the word "impeachment" seems to be on everybody's lips.
That being said, no-one gave the former businessman much of a chance the first time round. The notion of a Trump administration was nothing but a tongue-in-cheek joke almost right up until the day it became a reality.
Donald Trump has already proved that he can defy convention and criticism, and bounce back from polarising comments and political scandals that would have crippled other politicians.
But that bounce-back ability appears to be showing the first signs of waning, after impeachment started being touted as a legitimate reality for a President who has reportedly passed sensitive information to Russian officials. If he does make it through his first term in the White House, though, he could find himself up against an entirely unexpected adversary if he is to win another four years as the leader of the free world, none other than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
The Rock recently told GQ that it is a "real possibility" that he could take a run at the Presidency, "A year ago it started coming up more and more. There was a real sense of earnestness, which made me go home and think."
This will be, to some, ocular proof that the world has finally gone mad, while others will presumably be welcoming the concept of a start to a new decade without Donald Trump at the helm, guiding the United States into ever more treacherous waters. The notion that 2020's Presidential race could amount to something akin to a Hollywood blockbuster showdown between a former businessman and reality TV star, and a bonafide silver screen leading man is an extraordinary one, but with the multitude of bizarre global events currently raining down around us, does anyone truly have the capacity to be surprised anymore?
What's more, it seems clear that, at present time, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would have a considerably strong chance of beating Donald Trump, after polls released by Public Policy Polling revealed that the former wrestler is considered a preferable choice to America's current President. As Public Policy Polling attests;
Trump trails by wide margins in hypothetical match ups for reelection. He does particularly poorly against Joe Biden (54/40 deficit) and Bernie Sanders (52/39 deficit.) We also looked at Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's prospects if he were to run for President as a Democrat.
The poll added that "36% of voters see Johnson favourably to 13% with a negative view of him, although 50% of voters have no opinion about him either way. Both Democrats (38/15) and Republicans (31/17) see him positively. Johnson would lead Trump 42/37 in a prospective contest, and wins over 15% of people who supported Trump last fall."
While The Rock will still be seen as an outsider to assume the Presidency in 2020, on current form he seems to have a significantly greater chance that the White House's current incumbent.

This weekend reigning Olympic gold medallist Anthony Joshua will face off with the veteran Michael Sprott, on the undercard of the bitter grudge match between Tony Bellew and Nathan Cleverly in Liverpool.
Joshua, aged just 25 and standing at over 6ft 6 tall, is in supreme physical condition and has so far looked brilliant as a professional. He has destroyed all nine of his opponents within three rounds and is yet to be truly tested, a stance that is unlikely to change this weekend.
Sprott is an experienced campaigner
At 39 years old Sprott is at the other end of the experience scale as a professional, with a record of 42 wins and 22 losses. He has been in with a series of good fighters, including the likes of Corrie Sanders, Danny Williams, Ruslan Chagaev, Audley Harrison, Lamon Brewster, Alexander Ustinov, Alexander Dimitrenko, Kubrat Pulev and Robert Helenius to name a few.
The problem for Sprott is that against most of the aforementioned names he has come off second best. Yes many of these fights are likely to have been taken on short notice, but he has become a good test to see where a developing boxer is at.

- Khan Can't Afford Loss Against Alexander
Huge incentive for Sprott to give everything
This time around Sprott has had a good notice period for this fight and as such has been able to prepare as he would like. This is a massive opportunity for him to fight on television and to make a real name for himself and to produce one of the biggest upsets in living memory.
If he is to somehow pull off the upset win then there will likely be big offers for a rematch for him to cash in on. It is however expected that Joshua will prove too young, too big and too powerful for a man entering the closing stages of his career.
Joshua's credentials are imposing
Joshua has so far shown immense punch power combined with a good solid jab and the maturity not to underestimate any opponent he has been in with. Joshua comes across as a very grounded young man who realises just how much work he has to do to fulfil his undoubted potential.
Joshua is expected to enter the ring on Saturday night and dispatch of Sprott in emphatic fashion. Sprott is a savvy old pro who will look to spoil Joshua's work and make him look unimpressive.
Expect another quick knock out
This is expected to be just another step in the successful career of this rising star and a knock out win in the first 3three-four rounds seems the most likely outcome.
There are talks about Joshua facing off with the likes of fellow Brits Dereck Chisora, David Price and Tyson Fury next year but caution just be urged. These are all more experienced fighters than Joshua who have campaigned at a higher level than he has so far.
Chisora and Price look likely future tests
Chisora is a good, solid pressure fighter who could provide a good opponent for Joshua at some point next year but the other two would be more risky at this stage in my opinion.
Despite David Price's two devastating losses to Tony Thompson he is still a legitimate threat. He possesses great punch power and he would only need to land one clean shot and the fight could be over.
What about Fury in 2015?
Fury has shown his heart and desire and could make for a really tough fight for Joshua at this stage of his career. He is big and strong and is an undefeated fighter.
Joshua needs to continue to face slightly lesser opponents than the likes of Chisora, Price and Fury for now. Someone like Kevin Johnson who is a durable, defensively good fighter would be a decent learning fight for Joshua before such fights take place.
Hearn must tread carefully with top talent
It does however seem that at the moment Joshua is going to learn more from his sparring and training than he will in the ring. He should look to get top sparring partners in and travel the world sparring the best as he did with Wladimir a Klitschko earlier in the year.
There is no doubt that Joshua is highly talented and seems to have everything needed to be a real star of the sport but he has to progressed at the right pace and not rushed too early.
Yes be excited about him but please don't push him too far, too soon.

Headed to Russia, Ukraine, Middle East and Asia from June
Just 24 hours after the name was initially leaked, HTC has officially announced the Desire 600, a new mid-range handset aimed at Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The HTC Desire 600 sports many of the headline features of HTC's current flagship, the HTC One. You've got Jelly Bean (we presume Android 4.1, not 4.2) and Sense 5.0, a pair of beastly "BoomSound" speakers, the BlinkFeed home screen experience and Beats Audio. The new Sense 5 Gallery app has made it across, it seems, as has video highlights. Zoes, however, are not mentioned on the spec sheet.
The handset is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 CPU with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. Around the back there's an 8-megapixel BSI camera with f/2.0 lens. That screen on the front is a 4.5-inch qHD panel, a significant step down from the One's 1080p SuperLCD3, but not a horribly low resolution. The Desire 600 dual also comes with dual SIM capabilities, and runs on 900/2100MHz HSPA networks with data speeds up to 7.2Mbps.
The HTC Desire 600 is due out in early June, starting in Russia, Ukraine and MEA (Middle East and Africa) -- no word of any plans for a wider European release just yet. We've got the full press release below, along with a few more photos.

Via Gallery Hopper, I found the newest work of the great Michael Kenna, a series of New York City that was exhibited at the Robert Mann Gallery (images here) in New York. It is wonderful to see the unique "Kenna" style, with dark shadows, high contrast and clean lines. His work provides a distinct look of "perhaps" the most photographed city in the world. Few weeks ago I had the opportunity to see some of his prints and I have to say that if you ever get the chance to see a print from Michael Kenna prepare yourself to turn breathless. They are so amazing.

In this era of political correctness where Westerns particularly of a Northern European extraction are to be blamed for every disappointment known to man, it is now we Americans that are not only obligated to go out of our way to familiarize ourselves with the backwards peculiarities of the new arrivals but to also degrade our own cultural standards.
A flier for a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration sponsored by a suburban Maryland municipal agency admonishes, "Join us in honoring the traditions and heritage of our Hispanic/Latino neighbors...You will be introduced to the songs and rhythms of Latin America in an exciting interactive performance for the entire family."
No thank you. Many have already had this experience, irrespective of whether they wanted it or not, at two or three o'clock in the morning thanks to rowdy neighbors that civic authorities are extremely reluctant to tell to tune it down for fear of appearing ethnically insensitive but whom would just as easily crack down on you with SWAT raids and tear gas for removing a tree from your own property if failing to make the proper procedural oblations on bended knee before assorted eco-bureaucracies.
Though few possess the cahonies to say it, it is doubtful that many actual Americans still even remain in the area where this concert is being held. Most of those that will likely attend will be Hispanic to begin with.
Basically scarce public money is being expended in what amounts to little more than Hispanics wallowing in their Hispanicness.
In the present day, tolerancemongers would never permit government funds going to finance an activity to lavish praise upon White people over how wonderful White people are by asking minorities to fawn all over White people for simply being White.
If there is tax money burning a hole in the public pocket that just has to be spent on Hispanics, perhaps it should done in such a way that acclimates this population to our bizarre American ways.
The average American wasn't consulted as to how many migrants both legal and illegal would be permitted entrance into the country because immigration policy is crafted to meet the needs of elites rather than the good of the nation as a whole.
Perhaps high on that list of things to be taught ought to be not playing music so loud at 3 AM that it rocks windows half of a block away.

Perfect Pushup Power 10 Workout DVD | Improve Form & Technique
The Perfect Pushup has redefined pushup technique and effectiveness. Rotating handles let your arms move naturally and fluidly as if throwing a punch or pressing up a dumbbell. They also reduce strain on the wrists.
While this DVD is a valuable supplement to the Perfect Pushup, we'd like to see it come standard with the regular package.
The DVD teaches proper technique and form while adding variety to your workouts with 10 challenging pushup styles demonstrated by Navy SEALS, Yoga and other experts. It also includes pushup calisthenics that add variety and an aerobic element to your workouts.
This DVD is strictly demonstrational; it doesn't provide an actual routine. The user is left to combine the different styles into their own workout progam.

"AirPlay Direct is proud to have Mountain Fever Records in our ever-growing professional, global music industry family," says Lynda Weingartz, CEO – AirPlay Direct. "Mountain Fever's approach to signing, producing and successfully releasing relevant and creative artists is in keeping with the AirPlay Direct belief that we are a global community, a family, a tribe and not just a bunch of disconnected members around the world."
"Mountain Fever continues our tradition of exceptional music with this week's release of 'The Highland Travelers' new self-titled album. The formation of this band earlier this year set the bluegrass world on alert that something great was about to happen.
When the phone rang and Adam Steffey told me he was forming a new band and wanted to join the Mountain Fever Family, I was thrilled. I've admired the talents of all five of these men for years and to have them playing together is outstanding. We
couldn't be happier with the sound we got out of their debut album. Their original tunes, great musicianship, and tight harmonies make this project shine. We really hope bluegrass fans enjoy 'The Highland Travelers' new music as much as we do!
We're happy to be partnering with AirPlay Direct to help get this new music and the rest of our stellar catalog out to the world."

Sourcing For The Best Guns
What You Should Do When You Visit Guns Stores In Las Vegas
Visiting a gun store can be very intimidating when you have never visited one. However, you need not fear as, over the past time, different guns stores have improved their customer service and getting to appreciate first time buyers. When purchasing these items, it can be a perfect time to learn a few things about the gun. The following should be in your mind when visiting these shops:
When visiting these
Spartan Arms
stores, you should be opening minded. Ask any questions that you think are important to the salesperson. A good salesperson should be willing to assist you happily. You need to let off your ego and appreciate that there are somethings you do not know about the guns. Through doing this, you will be properly advised and hence make informed decisions.
When you have never visited
Spartan Arms
Gun store, you can be scared the first time you visit. You will realize that most of the people are carrying guns in the store. You should not worry about your security as it is well taken care of. The salesperson may also be armed, and that should not be a reason for panic. Those are some of the security measures that they take to ensure that their customers are safe.
You need to understand the basic gun etiquette. That will make you comfortable when visiting these shops. You should not try to pull a trigger, and you should view each gun as being loaded. You should also not try to point the gun to anyone in the store. The salesperson will always hand you guns without bullets, but you should verify that it is empty. You should point the gun down or at the ceiling.
To find out if the gun is perfect for you, you should test the trigger. Since several stores have no shooting ranges, you can dry fire the ammunition. Before you do this, you should confirm that the gun is not loaded. You should be careful with this as dry firing some guns may cause damage. Ensure that the salesperson allows you to test the trigger.
Before you settle for any gun store Las Vegas, ensure that you are very comfortable. When you feel relaxed, you will be in your right mind and be able to buy the gun that meets your need. The salesperson should make you feel special and welcomed in their premises. They should be willing to offer your assistance and answer most of your questions. You should never purchase ammunition where you do not feel welcomed as you may end up purchasing the wrong product.

Teton Valley Cabins sits just 5 miles from the Targhee National Forest boundary, offering us and our guests easy access to a number of well maintained scenic trails. The Caribou Targhee National Forest spans the southeastern border of Idaho, encompassing pieces of Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. It is home to Grand Targhee Ski Area and creates the western border for Grand Teton National Park. In fact, some may enjoy a day long adventure of walking through the national forest into Grand Teton National Park by foot.
As the western foothills of the Teton Range, it is not surprising how many trailheads, camping areas, and beautiful views the Targhee National Forest offers its visitors. Here are some suggestions for local access to the Caribou-Targhee National Forest:
Teton Canyon is about 10 miles east of the cabins. Follow signs off of Ski Hill Road toward Teton Canyon Campground. In the winter months, this forest access road is a great starting point for cross country skiers and snowshoers. At the campground you will find the trailhead for North Teton Canyon Trail, leading to South Leigh Trail and Table Mountain; both are moderate day hikes. A little further up the road you can park at the upper parking area to hike along South Teton Canyon, an easy to moderate trail that follows a stream for the majority of the way up to Alaska Basin, a beautiful destination that rests behind the Tetons. An alternate and more strenuous route follows Devil's Staircase up to Death Canyon Shelf.
Darby Canyon, Badger Creek, and Coal Creek are also great trailheads for day hikes. Grab a map at the Teton Basin Ranger Station just south of Driggs on the left hand side and make sure to bring plenty of water.

(much more after the jump)
Simmonds got into two scraps tonight much to my satisfaction. He started strong in the first fight and probably took the edge. However, in the second fight he was pitted against Travis Moen. I'm not sure if Simmonds wanted to duke it out against a veteran to show that he play with the big dogs, but he got his ass handed to him. At first it seemed like Simmonds was going to hold his own and even take out Moen, but then it became apparent how big Moen is and Simmonds was never really able to break out of the hold Moen had on him. It was painful watching Simmonds take shot after shot to his head and it looked like he was a bit shaken up, but hopefully the kid will bounce back and tear it up next time.
The defense did not look good at all. Johnson, Preissing, and newly (re)acquired O'Donnell were in suits while prospects Voynov, Loktionov, and Drewiske and Doughty, Greene, and Gauthier held the back end. The prospects were fairly unimpressive and Greene was just there. Doughty looked the best but still made some shaky plays.
Between Overtime and the Shootout, Connie and I recorded a quick snippet of our feelings about the game. Enjoy my awesome camera skills:

Our 45th Reunion was a fun-filled event, for sure! The Friday night mixer was all the more interesting because we didn't have our name tags yet. Saturday night was a blast from the past with HHS alums The Cave Dwellers and The Band Ayd entertaining us with "our music" after we enjoyed our delicious Mexican buffet. Time flew by so quickly between our 40th and 45th reunions that our big 5-0 will be here before we know it:-) Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate another milestone for the great class of '69...wish you all could have been there!

text: On November 13, 2001, The Sirens Records gathered four Chicago blues piano masters, Pinetop Perkins, Detroit Junior, Erwin Helfer, and Barrelhouse Chuck, to record some low down solo blues and boogie woogie. During this studio recording session these musicians shared some laughs, reminisced, and had a good time. But this was more than just a party or a reunion. The result was magic on a concert grand piano, as these musicians spurred one another on to bring out their best piano playing abilities. Enjoy these masters as they keep the blues and boogie woogie piano tradition alive!.............. 1. Its You Baby (Barrelhouse Chuck) 2. Roosters Blues (Barrelhouse Chuck) 3.

Work required
"Why Dubai?" is an essential Iraqi blog. The "Rejected" writer explains:
This blog is to free one question and try to find the right answer that might take off all the burdens built since more than a year off my chest, why was I rejected? Had I been a gypsy dancer, Pilipino escort or Russian club singer, I would have been received in open arms and granted residency in UAE. However being a decent Iraqi hard worker female made me lose my job in UAE and my future.
The latest post explains the difficulties of finding work in UAE. It paints a sad tale of an Iraqi people being gradually erased from the region.

Please add the ability to specify conditional compilation constants easily in the web.config for a file system based web site. A simple declaration in the <system.web><compilation> directive would be ideal.
You can work around with <system.codedom><compilers> directives, but many shared hosting environments generally do not let you install your own compiler, so this should be something that you can specify without requiring these directives.3 votes

If credit repair software could take your Midland, TX credit scores and magically improve them, you can bet that A) lots of people would be buying it, and B) there would be a lot of lawsuits since the credit repair software would probably be illegal.

Learn Music & Raise Money for the Furry Faces Foundation on Saturday, Aug. 25
Ryan Burns' Burien School of Music will be holding a fundraiser for the Furry Faces Foundation on Saturday, Aug. 25, donating all class proceeds to the charity.
From 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., Burns will offer short 'sample size' lessons that are 10 – 20 minutes long, at a suggestion donation of $10 – $20.
"And for at least part of the day, Furry Faces will be set up in front of our building so folks can find out more about them," Burns said. "They plan on having their 'Tag Your Pet…It Ain't Graffiti' engraving machine here, plus their 'Tie One On' neckties for dogs and of course, information about their group."
According to their website:
Furry Faces Foundation, a.k.a. F-Cubed or F3, is an animal loving, social group of folks whose motto is 'having fun…while raising money for animals.'
None of us can imagine giving up our beloved pet because we can't afford to care for him/her. We support the belief that both people and the animals benefit from this partnership. For some people, the only companionship they have is their pet.
F3 provides support for people who may need assistance to care for their companion animals, and in doing so, provides the community a vehicle for compassionate social assistance as well.
They help people who are financially restricted keep their pets with them and out of shelters/rescue groups via our three programs:
- Oliver's Fund: assists with healthy pet food, vaccines, unexpected Vet bills and other pet necessities
- It's Hip To Be Snipped: helps defray the cost of, or pay the full cost of spay/neuter of people's pets
- Tag Your Pet…It Ain't Graffiti: A pet collar with an ID tag is the #1 way pets are reunited with their people. We have a new pet tag engraving machine that we bring to our events, selling quality aluminum tags for just $5.00 each. We roll the money we earn back into the to program so we can provide free collars and ID tags to our clients' pets. All animals want to find their way home and we want to help them do so.
