What responsibility? To make use of all the new features and make your app even greater! And of course, you want to ensure you are supporting as many in-market devices as possible. As you already know, the 10.1 Gold SDK and OS is out, along with the Q10 devices! However, since there are still some Z10 devices on the market right now running the 10.0.X.X OS version, some questions and confusions might be present. Which SDK version to compile against? Which are the target devices? How many BAR files should I keep? How do I manage my code base? We will try to tackle some of these common questions here.
Coding and deploying for the devices with 10.1 OS
Even if your older 10.0 Z10 version of the app runs "fine" on the newer 10.1 devices (Q10 and upcoming Z10 update) running the 10.1 OS version, you should try to use the latest 10.1 SDK. Why? Starting with the 10.1 SDK, you get access to some new features which will enhance your app's experience on the Q10 devices significantly. This particular blog post here is a great source of information when you are converting your Z10 app for the upcoming Q10 devices. In terms of the UI elements that you can leverage as a developer, among others, you now have access to certain components like the auto hiding ActionBar, customizable/freeform and sticky TitleBar – these elements will allow you to maximize your screen real estate (for the smaller screen Q10 devices) and provide more room for actual content for the users.
Key shortcuts and listeners are some of the other slick new features; they make common tasks much easier for your users. The Q10 devices are definitely designed for the power users who love the physical keyboard and who value productivity greatly. You want to show them as much useful content as possible (even in the smaller screen) and require as few user input as possible to get to the primary features and content.
What about my current applications for the Z10 devices?
If there are any updates or bug fixes necessary for your currently public Z10 versions of the app (made using 10.0 SDK), you definitely don't want to keep your users waiting. Until the in-market Z10 devices receive the 10.1 updates, you should continue posting updates and bug fixes as necessary. Going forward, the new 10.1 features that you will be using for Q10 devices (which you definitely should be) and upcoming Z10 updates; if they are mainly on the QML asset files, you can just continue to maintain just one BAR file. All the 10.1 specific QML code; those asset files can be placed in the folder called 720×720. For devices running lower 10.1 OS, that folder will just be ignored and only the QML files in the root folder would be considered. You can check out the github sample apps here to look at the code for projects like these. If you are using any new 10.1 C/C++ API then your application would need the latest 10.1.X.X SDK to compile against to bypass all the compile errors (the corresponding BAR file would also be a different one, since it would need the minimum 10.1 platform to run against).

If the same BAR file is run on the 10.0 devices, this code won't be executed (the folder will be ignored).
Note: This is a modified sample code shown here just for demonstration
The QML file under the root assets folder; this will run by default. Note that there is no 10.1 specific code here
Note that you can install all the different SDK versions through the IDE update options and install the different OS versions. Re-iterating what is mentioned on the release notes:
- If you are developing using a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device, you need to download the 10.0.10.263 target from the update site.
- If you are developing using the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone, you need to download a target from the update site that matches the device version that's provided by your wireless service provider. You can verify the device version by opening the Settings app, tapping About, selecting OS in the Category drop-down list, and checking the version that's listed in the OS Version field.
- For more information about developing apps that work on different versions of the BlackBerry 10 Native SDK, see Appropriate version of the BlackBerry Native SDK in the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
How do I specify restrictions to BlackBerry World and BAR files?
When you are submitting the signed BAR files through your vendor portal account, you can choose the minimum OS version and the devices accordingly. These settings control whether or not your app will show up on the users' BlackBerry World app (depending on the devices and the OS version they are currently running on).
Note that there is also a specific value that can be set through the bar-descriptor.xml file, which dictates the minimum required platform OS version required to install and run the app. This in turn gets reflected on the final signed BAR produced (MANIFEST.MF file). Do not modify this default value set unless you are absolutely certain which device OS versions you want to prevent the app from being installed (even if they are discovered through the BlackBerry World app). This value is checked by the OS itself when the app is installed and run using the BlackBerry World app. However, this is not something that the BlackBerry World looks at (currently) to filter what apps the user can see to download. This means, if you are playing around with this value, there could be instances where the user can see or buy the app through the BlackBerry World app but not be able to install it! The vendor portal filtering only gives you granularity between 10.0.0, 10.0.10 and 10.1.0 for now but if you are modifying the bar-descriptor.xml value for this, you can end up being really specific (10.0.9.X, 10.0.10.X, 10.1.X.X) which could prevent your users from installing the app (even if they are being able to see it or buy it).

Managing code base
Since there are newer API/libraries with 10.1 SDK, you might already be thinking about how to manage your code base better. Well, there are a few different options to choose from:
- If you are already using a version control system like Github, just use the branching and merging technique for your code base
- Create a new branch from your latest 10.0.X.X code version. Add all the new 10.1 features here and continue to use this one for devices running 10.1 (Q10 devices for now and soon to be Z10 as well)
- If your 10.1 changes (e.g. using some of the newer UI elements and features) are mainly on the QML assets, you can make use of the static asset selector which is new with 10.1. Basically, your IDE will be pointing to the same project (code base) but based on which device you are targetting your app, it will select the respective .qml files
- As mentioned before, the Z10 devices running lower than 10.1 OS, will just ignore the folders such as the 720×720
- If you are using 10.1 specific API in your C++ code (only), you can use the NDK versioning macros to detect the OS versions. This forum post here talks about this in details
To Sum Up
- For devices running 10.1 OS, definitely use 10.1 SDK to compile and deploy your app; make use of all the useful features which will make the Q10 experience of your app significantly better
- As soon as 10.1 OS is picked up by the Z10 devices, these app releases will be shown through BlackBerry World as well (provided you set the vendor portal filtering accordingly)
- There is more than one way to manage your code base; you have to decide which one is best for you
- For posting updates and bug fixes to the 10.0 Z10 versions of your app, continue to use the respective 10.0 SDK to compile and deploy the app
- Sanity check: Don't forget to test and try out the application on the OS versions that your users are expected to run the app
We hope at least some of this was helpful to you. If we have missed any particular cases, do bring them to our attention and we will try to advise accordingly. Hope to see all of your apps for the Q10 devices soon!

Toward the VAT?
Bruce Bartlett comments on an interesting report on tax reform in California:
The main point the report makes is that the nature of the economy and the nature of income have changed over the years, but the tax system has not changed to deal with them.
First, income has become more volatile as people receive less of it in the form of relatively stable wages and more in the form of capital gains, bonuses and stock options that may vary significantly from year to year.
Second, services are much bigger as a share of both production and consumption. By their nature, services are harder to tax than goods.
Third, technology and globalization make it easier for people to purchase goods and services across state and national borders, and to move capital and income to other jurisdictions where they are taxed at lower rates or not taxed at all.
As it has become harder for the state to tax certain forms of income and output, it has had to raise rates on those that it can still tax. This has led to very high marginal rates that impede economic growth and create unfairness.
The proposed tax reform would broaden the tax base by replacing the corporate income tax with a business net receipts tax that would be very similar to a value-added tax. It would also replace the state sales tax and significantly reduce the personal income tax.
The report is here. Tax reform is hard, but if we could actually do it, there's low-hanging fruit. We could have a tax system that raised the same amount of money but was less burdensome and did more to promote economic growth.
Of course, you could say the same about the health-care system. In theory, health-care reform could cover more people and cost less money. But that turns out to be tricky in practice.

If you think health care is hard, just wait... There are far too many interests involved in the convoluted tax system we have. Not the least of which is a whole constituency of about 50% of taxpayers who pay no federal income tax at all. And a lot of these folks are not who you would initially think they would be. One is my boss who earns mid six figures.
The better I've done the more my tax return resembles Dick Cheney's and Warren Buffet's. The numbers are vastly different, obviously, but the effective rate is the same. 15%. And I could eliminate most of what I pay if I incorporated. And I could eliminate a lot of the rest if the company I work for would allow me to defer some more of my compensation. That trick is reserved for top echelon execs.

The best thing about a VAT, of course, is that taxes are so buried that most people will never notice exactly how much they are being taxed. It's the perfect recipe for an ever-increasing tax burden!
It's more regressive than the current income tax, of course, but the politicians will "fix" that by putting in all sorts of special exemptions. A cynic might say, of course, that putting in all sorts of special exemptions is exactly why our current income tax system is such a mess. But I'm positive that wouldn't happen with a VAT; after all, our current set of politicians are so much more resistant to political pressure than they used to be.

Aren't the trends in how compensation, etc are structured at least in part responses to the structure of tax law? This is akin in many ways to financial regulation -- a lot of innovation is geared toward sneaking around the regulatory corners.

There would be winners and losers under the proposed changes. The winners? Those at the top. The losers? Those at the bottom and in the middle.
Value added taxes are, by definition, regressive and therefore immoral (as are sales taxes).
If exemptions are included, as enoriverbend expects, then we'd, at best, get a flatter tax that exasperates the problem.
Incidentally, consumption taxes of any kind can be just as volatile, if not more, than income taxes.

"less burdensome"? For whom? Are you aware it will be the low income families who will have to bear the highest burden of a VAT, because they consume the biggest part of their salaries? And that it will be the rich, who invest a significant part of their income, who will pay a lower percentage in taxes?
Really, Ezra, more and more you're becoming a carnival barker for the rich and powerful! Don't tell me that you didn't see the obvious problem with such a tax reform. You're much too intelligent for this.

Gray62, any tax system can be structured to be progressive if the desire to do so is there. Would we end up with a very progressive system if we started from scratch in this political environment? Count me as skeptical, but that doesn't mean that in theory you couldn't work out a way to do that that would be fair.
Man, people are really crazy about this "Ezra's sold out!" meme.

Let us know, MosBen, when you figure out how to turn an end-to-end regressive consumption tax into a end-to-end progressive tax.
Until then, Ezra's assertions that a VAT can be "less burdensome" and "promote economic growth" ring hollow.
By the way, who is Bruce Bartlett again? Oh yeah. Supply-side (voodoo) economist formerly of the Reagan and Bush Administrations.
Posted by: cjo30080 | October 2, 2009 11:11 AM | Report abuse
The Parsky Commission report to which Bartlett is referring, run by a former Bush Ranger, would save millionaires an average of $109,000 a year while saving someone making $50,000 a year 4 dollars. This is not just shrinking the sales tax and broadening the base. It ELIMINATES THE CORPORATE INCOME TAX ENTIRELY and makes the personal income tax almost flat. It would bring the glories of the Latvia flat tax system to American shores. And the business net receipts tax in its place, not a VAT, would tax payroll, hitting high-income corporations like those in the knowledge economy much harder than service sector employers.
It's about the worst deal you could possibly come up with, and it's DOA even among Republicans in California. It's not going to happen.
Really this is very lazy reporting.

Well you don't have to have a consumption tax on all consumables. My state doesn't tax food, for example. Progression would tax the luxury items.
Having said that - forget the VAT. I've seen it at work in other countries - enoriverbend has it exactly correct, it will simply add another tax to the existing burden.
Taxation NEVER goes down.

Sometimes the bubble that surrounds DC becomes blindingly clear, when we see someone inside the bubble who thinks they are looking out, but are instead simply reporting on DC being reflected back at them from the inside of the bubble.
Yes, the wealthy always like to increase the share of consumption taxes, because then the income they devote to maintaining and increasing their status as wealthy people is not taxed.
But Bruce Bartlett gives away too much of the game when pointing out the increasing share of income going to things with volatile tax receipts. The reason an increasing share of income is going to all these things that are not taxed as much IS BECAUSE THEY ARE NO LONGER TAXED AS MUCH AS THEY USED TO BE.
Corporate income taxes used to be the second largest source of Federal tax receipts, after personal income tax and before payroll income tax. It is now third.
And the frame itself is quite insane. The argument that we should stabilize tax receipts for a given level of economic downturn is, of course, the argument that MORE EXTREME economic downturns when we slide into recession. It is an argument that the amount of unemployment generated by the rapid increase in the propensity to save was not high enough in the current recession, and we need to reform the system so that if a similar scenario occurs, we can get more unemployment out of it.
Given the egregiously outcome that Bartlett is arguing FOR, it seems a quite reasonable course to take his policy advice and multiply by (-1) to arrive at the point of departure toward more reasonable reforms.

Depending on how it is structured, a VAT isn't regressive. It's similar to a flat tax on lifetime wealth. The tax may be regressive when looking at a given year, but it should be very close to flat when considered over a person's life, assuming most of lifetime income becomes lifetime consumption.
The whole purpose of saving is to finance consumption. If a person ends up with a big pile of money after they die, then sure, their effective lifetime tax rate on income was less than the statutory rate - but then again they also didn't get to enjoy spending said income. In fact, by investing the money that person increased the pace of capital formation, which was beneficial to economic growth. It's not even as if the income escapes taxation at death - when that person's heirs eventually spend it, it will be taxed (perhaps taxed twice if the estate tax remains in place).
At any rate, nearly half of taxpayers aren't contributing to the operations of the Federal government (by which I mean operations which aren't simply cash transfers - such as the military, administration of justice, interest on the debt, etc). I'm not saying let's hose the poor, but would it hurt for them to contribute SOMETHING? Worse still, some of those without federal income tax liablity make quite a lot of money - having a VAT would remedy that problem to some degree.
If you are still worried about progressivity, use the VAT to pay for healthcare subsidies for the poor and lower middle class. The system becomes progressive when looking at what the tax actually funds. Remember, European countries with very low levels of inequality and poverty also have very high VAT rates - VAT helps those nations to fund lots of social welfare programs. Using a consumption tax to fund social programs is probably a good liberal/conservative compromise, provided more conservatives start thinking like Bruce Bartlett and less like Rush Limbaugh.
Finally, it's not as if there would be a single VAT and no other taxes in the system. Combining the VAT with either a progressive income tax or even a flat rate income tax that had a high standard deduction and a higher rate than the VAT rate would create a progressive system as well.

That's a myth -- and a particularly absurd one. Nearly every time I've visited a country with a VAT in place, the final VAT tab is added to the bill in clear, fully disclosed fashion.

With regards to tax revenue stability, at the state level it is fairly important - particularly for California given its experience over the past year or so.
At the national level, absolutely agreed that volatile pro-cyclical tax revenue acts as an automatic stabilizer and that is a feature, not a bug.
I think a VAT could be an excellent counter-cyclical fiscal policy tool. As unemployment starts to rise, the government can lower VAT by 2-3%. If unemployment keeps rising, it can be knocked down another couple of percent. Since the public knows a recovery will bring with it higher VAT rates, those who can will have a higher propensity to spend, smoothing consumption during the downturn. Especially if we use part of the VAT revenue to fund a scaled up (think Denmark) unemployment insurance program.

I don't think it's so easy to raise or lower a VAT. In fact that was Ezekiel Emanuel's main argument as to why it would be a steady revenue source for health care reform.
California has a lot of problems, but one thing's for double sure: property taxes need to go up for long term owners. We're becoming a feudal state.

"the final VAT tab is added to the bill in clear, fully disclosed fashion."
Apparently this differs by country.
"Most retail prices on bills and receipts include VAT - it is not shown separately. However some may have a line under which they show the VAT element. "
Frankly, I've been to enough different countries to completely and utterly forget which ones have which variant of which system. In India, some states have the VAT and some do not, which is even more confusing.
But even for the countries you are familiar with, do you get a single yearly statement of exactly how much your tax cost was over the course of the year? You know, a 1040-equivalent? That's the moment of truth and pain that I was thinking about...
I'm sure businesses total up all the receipts that they get over the course of the year -- they have to -- but I imagine individual consumers normally do not. I'll admit, I have not been a permanent legal resident of any VAT-using country, so possibly I am not aware of some detail in that regard.

Heart Shaped Shabby Chic Tags
Hi Friends! Just a quick post on this shabby chic heart tag set that I just finished creating and listed on Etsy. I think my next project will be a set of handmade cards but I wanted to work on one more tag set.
I cut my card stock with a heart die then stamped the heart image using my Unity Stamp. I rubbed ink around the heart shape to give it a bit of a distressed look then embellished the tags with lace, seam binding, crochet flowers, and faux pearls.I listed a bunch of these crochet flowers in my Etsy Shop. I had dyed the crochet flowers with Stampin Up Pink Pirouette ink and I did the same with the seam binding so they match.
I also worked on this set of lace flowers. It takes a lot of lace to create the flowers and I had enough lace to only make one set of these flowers. I wish I had purchased more of this lace. . .I think it's pretty.
Honestly, part of the reason why I'm making these lace and fabric flowers is that I have such an abundance of materials. I had this ambitious idea that I could create cards and projects with them but the truth is there isn't enough time in the day to create projects that would allow me to use up all the lace, ribbons, and buttons that I have. I thought that making embellishments will give me somewhat of the satisfaction of actually creating something with them. . . .:)
Okay, that's it for today. Stop by my Etsy store and check out the items I've listed: Inspired & Unscripted

No detail was overlooked at this gorgeous destination wedding at the Gatekeepers Park Museum on the shore of Lake Tahoe. Jeff and Tim said their I Do's with the gorgeous lake as their backdrop and then celebrated with friends and family in a wooded paradise.
Here is what their photographer, Lauren from Lauren Lindley Photography had to say:
"Jeff and Tim were wed in a fireworks filled 4th of July destination wedding in Lake Tahoe, CA. Gatekeepers Park Museum is an amazing wedding venue on the shore of Lake Tahoe in Tahoe City, CA. Located on an ancient Washoe Indian campside, the grounds contain an eclectic collection of Tahoe history and artifacts.
This was a 100% destination wedding – not one guest was from Lake Tahoe! The family traveled to celebrate with the boys and spent a week enjoying all the recreational activities Tahoe has to offer. The boys brought their favorite band all the way from Seattle, WA to take the party to a whole new level. Tubaluba is a traditional New Orleans style second line band that also offers their own catalog of original songs, peppered with Mardi Gras favorites. From start to finish, the band had everyone shakin' – including me! The night closed out with a second line to the beach to watch the world renown Tahoe fireworks show!"

The good news of this one is that there is already a sports betting online in which you can bet as much as you want online. However, most of the sports bets are put during unlawful bookmarking operations. Nevada is the only state in the United states of America that is legally allowed to book sporting events.

We've all heard about it.
Some of us believe it and some of us think it's New Age baloney.
It's called The Law Of Attraction. But does it work in the business world?
For those who don't know of it, The Law Of Attraction is that good fortune (and bad events) are actually attracted by our thoughts. If you ardently desire and deeply believe something is going to happen, then it often will.
Whether it works in the business world is a super important question, because if it does then practicing it could change your entire financial and professional life.
A few weeks ago, something amazing happened to me.
I kept thinking about a billionaire and believed I would meet him. And against all odds, that's exactly what happened!.
I tell the story in a video on this site – I really suggest you watch it, it is a truly amazing tale, and every bit of it is true. It really makes me believe that the Law Of Attraction is legitimate.
I've spent a lot of time researching the Law Of Attraction when it comes to business coaching, and I believe not only is it true, but we can hugely increase our good Attraction in business by doing the following things:
I coach many CEO's and entrepreneurs, and I find that many are simply not super clear about their goals for the next 6 months. The more time you take to increase your goals clarity, the more likely you are to 'attract' successful results.
One of the best ways to do this is to put your goals down on paper and read them 3 times a day. That may seem excessive, but I've found that reading your goals several times a day massively increases your awareness of them and also enhances your focus enormously. You end up getting very, very clear about what you are wanting to achieve and are far more likely to take the actions that will create that achievement. And arguably attract good into your life.
I find a lot of people in business are intelligent and efficient, but their desire levels are not very high. According to the Law Of Attraction you must have white hot desire and 'love' for your goals- only then will you magnetize them into your life.
In my own personal experience this is absolutely true. When I really cared about a goal with massive desire, I usually had much better luck getting it than if I was nonchalant and purely logical in my thoughts about it.
This is an interesting one. Just having a goal doesn't necessarily attract it into our life. We have to not just identify what we want, but we also need to fully and completely expect it to occur. Only when we have this positive self expectancy does the Universe take action to help us manifest our goal- at least according to classical Law Of Attraction theory.
Many of us want a goal, even deeply desire a goal, but deep down don't expect it to happen. This is of course a matter of faith, and faith can be turned on quickly if we just choose to believe.
Once again, the amazing story I tell on video about the billionaire is an extraordinary example of this.
Of course we may never know if the Law Of Attraction works for business, or if it's merely a superstition. But I believe in it and I'm very certain that if we do the three things above each day we increase our changes of achieving our goals enormously. Give them a try. You have nothing to lose and a colossal amount to gain.
And if you have 5 minutes, watch my incredible story about meeting one of the richest men in the world – it will amaze you.

Making Sense of Lighting
by Arthur
I thought you and your readers could use some assistance with
buying lighting. This is an area of little consumer information and a lot of
I sold commercial grade lighting for 14 years. I have extensive
training in the art and science of lighting. I have also designed lighting
systems for homes.
1) A 60-year old person may need as much as 10 times as much
light for the same task as a 20-year old person. Also the lens of the eye or the
cornea tends to yellow with age, so color of light becomes more critical.
2 )Light is everywhere so we tend not to notice or analyze it.
Light is broken down into ambient or general light, task or work specific light,
and accent or mood lighting. Most homes only have general or ambient light. All
three types of light must work in concert for effective lighting.
3) Light spreads by reflection so dark walls will reflect less.
NO amount of light will effectively light a redwood or cedar paneled room, or a
room painted a dark color. Again older eyes will need a different color palette
in their homes.
4) Light sources are called lamps or bulbs. The most efficient
for home use are fluorescent and the least efficient is incandescent or standard
pear shape bulbs. Incandescent uses only 10% of the energy consumed for light -
90% is wasted as heat! And stop complaining about fluorescent, most of what you
know is no longer true.
5) A 20 to 25 watt compact fluorescent will replace a 100 watt
incandescent. A bonus: a compact fluorescent will last up to 10,000 hours vs.
750 hours for incandescent. Save a minimum of $7.50 in energy cost.
TIP: Remove an incandescent bulb and install a
TIP: Buy Philips Marathon and SLS compact fluorescent for
best color and performance.
TIP: Older? Look for a lighting wholesaler with a good
selection and ask for 5000 Kelvin or 4100 Kelvin fluorescents.
TIP: Fluorescent are temperature sensitive. Most are
rated for indoor use in open fixtures. Many will work in enclosed fixtures;
example, remove a 60 watt incandescent, install a 15 watt fluorescent.
TIP: Outdoor use: Many electronic ballast (power supply)
will start at freezing (32 degrees) but will take up to 2 minutes to reach full
TIP: Outdoor floodlighting. Look for the GE Genura lamp
(about $20.00) or halogen, infrared reflecting (HIR for GE). The 32 watt Genura
will replace a 100 watt reflector type bulb and last up to 4 years. The 60 watt
PAR/HIR (get a flood) replaces up to a 150 watt PAR and lasts up to 2 years.
TIP: When buying incandescent which includes halogen, buy
120 volt only. For vision, look for neodymium bulbs or by name, Reveal, by GE.

Hello lovely readers. You may recall that I've been working on a Sinbad and Sailor Dove T. Well, the owner, designer and creator of Sinbad and Sailor, Hannah, kindly agreed to indulge us all with an interview – thanks Hannah! And what a gem of an interview it is – had me giggling 🙂 So with no further ado, get to know Hannah!
Who is Hannah Britten?
I'm the woman behind Sinbad and Sailor, in the home straight of my twenties and living in East London. I've been sewing since school and in recent years I've taken up knitting and embroidery too. When I'm not crafting I'll stick my nose in a book or go for a knit and natter with friends. I'm also a cycling nerd and would be whizzing round the track if my knees didn't object quite so much.
How did Sinbad and Sailor come around, and why?
Sinbad and Sailor came about because I wanted to make clothes that were unique and stylish. I'm a recipe following kind of girl so when I couldn't find the pattern I wanted for a jumpsuit it got to me. Then I started to think if I want stylish trend lead patterns, perhaps other people would too.
Why the name Sinbad and Sailor?
The name is based on East London cockney rhyming slang for tailor (Sinbad and Sailor = tailor) which I like as not only do I have family history in the area (I live a street along from where my Grandad grew up) but the area's creative culture and scene really inspires the designs.
What's the best thing about having your own sewing pattern business?
To create what I have been searching for has been really rewarding, but what tops this is seeing people making up the patterns and re-interpreting them with their own style and creativity. It's an amazing feeling and keeps me motivated for the next collection.
What are some of the challenges you face(d) in setting up and running your own sewing pattern business?
In the early stages I wanted to print the patterns and had trouble finding a printer as I wanted to use a British printing company. I was looking for the fine tissue printing which is used for other commercial patterns and as I couldn't find anyone to do this I decided to offer digital patterns instead.
It sounds cliche but really this worked out for the best – digital is so much quicker than ordering a pattern online and waiting for it to ship – this way you instantly have the pattern so there isn't any delay in beginning your project. Not to mention the flexibility of being able to cut out your size rather than tracing it off as you can always re-print the pattern.
(Ed: I was a PDF pattern hater, but I'm really coming around! PDFs are pretty instant, you don't need boxes to store them and I'm a tracer anyway, so that step doesn't bother me 🙂 )
You've released your first three patterns, can you give us any hints on what's coming up next?
Spring/Summer 13 will be another capsule collection, the shape is more fitted and a touch more feminine with subtle hints of the sports lux trend. It'll create the perfect wardrobe for a summer of weddings in fields, barbecues in the park and up-all-night parties with good friends – I can't wait to make some for myself!
Tell us about the inspiration for your designs.
Although I don't have one particular muse when I am designing, I do have a picture in my mind of a woman who lives a full, exciting life and wants to make clothes that keep up with her. It's then about translating the catwalk looks and upcoming trends to suit this person.
What does a day in your life look like?
Get up around 8am (as I work from home at the moment I've not got far to commute!) I do a quick yoga video then eat my breakfast while having a peek at my google reader. It's inspiring to see what other people are up to and gets me thinking about what I'm going to post next on the blog.
After breakfast I then get straight down to my tasks which today include answering interview questions for a Cloth magazine feature on sewing patterns, writing the S&S newsletter and updating the Facebook page. I then head out to a fitting of our SS13 patterns in West London.
Together with Franki, the S&S pattern cutter, and Alice, our fit model, we try the toiles and tweek them over tea. With all three of us discussing the patterns during the fitting the changes can at times be subtle, but are none the less very important to creating the perfect pattern.
After the fitting Franki and I go to a cafe and grab some lunch, over this we discuss how the fitting went, future plans and catchup on the other life stuff.
I then head back on the Underground to East London with my book, To Die For – Is Fashion Wearing Out the World?, which is a critical look at where and how clothes are mass produced. Though not always the most comforting read it gives me lots of brain food for the journey!
When I get back I finish the newsletter off, adding in a top tip and a must see exhibition, which this time is Vogue favorite Tim Walker's photography show at Somerset House. It's been getting rave reviews and his work is so unique I can't wait to see the show!
I clock off about 6.30pm and head over to my friend Amy's studio on Columbia Road with my embroidery sampler. I did an amazing introduction to embroidery class with my Mum about a month ago taught by Becky Hogg and I can't wait to start embroidering other things!
While my friend makes a laptop case I crack on with my basket stitch, which doesn't seem to improve after a beer, so I head home as it's been a long day.
Tell us something quirky about you – just for fun.
One of the first things I sewed was a pvc and fake fur top – it was my punk phase and yes I do still have it somewhere! My other quirk would be that I can do some pretty cracking impressions of other peoples accents – Carmela from the Sopranos is my current favorite.
Thanks again Hannah for taking the time to share with us! Personally, I'm delighted to be supporting another wonderful independent pattern company. If you want to chat to Hannah, you can find her on Twitter and Instagram too.
Hope you all enjoyed the read, I know I did, and I can't wait to see the next S&S collection (and maybe some pvc and fake fur?)!
P.S: My final Dove T will be blogged very soon, there has been a sneaky peek of it on my Instagram 🙂

Total energy intensity in the EU-25 between 1990-2003, 1990 = 100
Additional information
For the Czech Republic (1990-1994), Hungary (1990), Poland (1990-1994), Malta (1991-1998) and for Germany (1990), Eurostat data was not available. GDP for the missing years were then estimated on the basis of annual growth rates (Ameco database), which were applied to the latest available GDP from Eurostat. For Estonia (1990-1992), Malta (1990) and Slovakia (1990-1991) neither data was available, and GDP in missing years was assumed to take the value of the nearest reported year. These assumptions do not distort the trend observed for the EU-25's GDP, since the latter three countries represent about 0.3-0.4 % of the EU-25's GDP.

No regrets given.
Four things: add a description for p:declare-parameter
scribe: Document select on
p:param (we need to determine the context)
... Remove the special case in 4.1.1 for a source w/o step
... Add text about extension attributes and elements
... Do we allow p:declare-input on for-each, choose, etc.
Henry: We've talked about
components and steps as quite different things
... in the draft, you've moved the other way. Now there are just classes of components.
... I think that's a good idea, but I don't think we decided it.
<alexmilowski> I've always thought of it that way too...
Henry: In that case, we need to speak of allowing users to create classes of components
Richard: I think the draft is confusing, it speaks of a graph of components, but choose and for-each aren't described as components.
<ht> HST likes 'construct' for the language constructs
<ht> and 'component' for XSLT and user-defined stuff
<ht> and 'step' for the union of the two
Norm describes how in fact he thinks "for-each" is now in fact a component
Micheal: I'm a little concerned
about losing the distinction between steps and
... Personally, I believe that people have a tendency to get confused about class/instance distinctions.
Norm describes pipelines as a graph of components and steps as a mechanism for instantiating those components.
Michael: I've got a pipeline with
three XSLT stylesheets applied in sequence. I think I have
three XML constructs in the XML description of the pipeline. I
think I have three steps/stages in an abstract description of
the pipeline.
... and three control blocks in memory, but perhaps only one copy of the processor if it's renetrant. But I have one of something, what is that?
... I had thought that that was a component.
Richard: A shell script may run a
sequence of two or three programs and two of them may be the
... The fact that in the first case I meant programs and in the second I meant executable file doesn't seem confusing.
Michael: In some contexts, I can certainly imagine getting confused if we didn't have conventions for distinction between those things.
Richard: One reason I don't want to elaborate a whole set of names is because there is in fact at least a third case for each one. Suppose you run a pipeline twice. Now, not only are there are the layers we already had, there's also the instances of them running.
Henry: And this is entirely parallel to any description of an OO system.
Richard: There's also the fact that we have constructs that run a component repeatedly within the same pipeline.
Alex: Do we have to dig that deep?
Richard: Let's look at it from
the other end.
... We seem generally happy with the term "step" for the things that aren't built into the language.
... We need something for both language constructs and things not built into the language.
Michael: You'd rather say we plug the output ports of the X component into the input ports of the Y component. Why not step?
<MSM> one syllable vs three syllables
Richard: The only reason I don't want to use step there is because we have a step element in the language.
<ht> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-processing-model-wg/2006Aug/0095.html
Norm describes his situation where components are synthesised sometimes
<ht> See above for the diagram Richard just referred to
Richard: I also want to be able to be able to have steps in the document correspond to single components in the semantics
Henry: The only thing worth noting right now about the diagram is that it goes backwards wrt the current discussion. It uses step for the union.
Michael: I continue to be a
little concerned about the absence of a term for the
abstraction who's most obvious instantiation is a software
module that a user might add to an available library
... what I'm hearing people say is that they want to use "component" for one of the constiuent parts of the pipeline
... I don't have a particular desire to use component in a slightly different way. I just don't think of invocations as instances of programs.
Richard: Defining a component,
writing a component, is like defining a function. So XSLT would
be a function that you called.
... A line of the program that called that function would be a "function call"
... And there would be other constructs that weren't function calls like conditionals and loops.
... In our language, "steps" are like function calls because we don't call the conditional things steps.
Henry: The problem with "step" for "statement" is that we have have an element named "step" which is the equivalent of "function call"
Norm proposes to try to use step and component consistently in the document and see if that helps
Michael: When CMS pipelines were
introduced, the authors thought hard about the
... They used the term "stage" for the things that go between the pipeline characters.
... and for the processes that get connected up.
... I think in the abstract that step would be nicer, but stage does not have the collision with the usage of step as something which invokes something like XSLT
Norm summarizes the current state of the document
Norm: I think we need to allow source/href/here on p:param
Alex: I thought we agreed to do
that, even though it gives me heartburn.
... I was surprised not to see that in the document.
... I think we should be clear that if you create a param that uses an input that isn't otherwise an input to the step, you're creating a new input dependency.
Richard: It's easy to statically determine what the dependencies are.
Norm will update the document to allow p:param elements to specify a context for the select attribute.
Henry: I expect in due course that we'll have a shortcut for this.
Norm asks about allowing declare-input on p:choose, p:for-each, etc.
Richard: What about a declare-input that you don't use?
Norm: Uhm
Richard: It doesn't seem to usefully document anything if you can't prevent dangling inputs.
Norm: Does anyone else want to be able to declare those inputs?
Murray: I don't see any reason not to
Richard: But unless we have rules that say that if you declare one, you must declare them all.
<ht> MSM, see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-processing-model-wg/2006Aug/0096.html for an attempt to follow up your suggestion wrt 'Stage'
Richard: The effect of declare
input is simply to alias an existing name. So how come you're
only allowed to use it in these particular places.
... My inclination is not to allow it unless we work out what's allowed.
Norm: My middle ground is to say that a declare-input that you don't use is an error.
Henry: I feel that you should minimize the amount of work on the draft in this area.
Norm: Ok, we'll leave it alone, but not record that as a decision.
Norm proposes revising the draft before next week in an effort to get FPWD out

The site was level with central hook ups. The TV antenna worked ok. AT&T phones did not work well. The wifi at the site was ok, but a little expensive for 2 days. - Al and Anne-Marie

This campground is a good deal with Passport America, but it is only valid M-T. They wanted to charge us extra if we used our air conditioner. Why not just raise rates by 1 or 2 dollars overall and let people use their A/Cs? Was warned that this is strictly enforced. Nickel and diming your campers is not cool. Other than that, this place was good for an overnight stop. We had no problems with any of the utilities and our daughter liked the playground and lake. Lots of perm sites but most of them were very well kept, just some were very old. - rollingonawhim
Jul 2018 - $42.00
Very well manicured sites and very nice gravel roads. Nice ponds and swimming pond with sandy beach. Lots of seasonal campers. Most seasonal sites were nicely landscaped with flowers. Lots of golf carts buzzing around. Looks like lots of fun for families. Lots of extra fees. Site with electric is $33. AC is $2.50 extra. Sewer is $3.00 extra. Wi-Fi is $3.50 for 24 hrs. The WiFi worked really well and I didn't mind paying for it. Having it as an extra is better than campgrounds that lie and say they have WiFi when the truth is it doesn't work. - SophieRVs

Limited pull through sites. The sites are narrow gravel/grass. Fairly level. Roads are paved with no obstacles. Very big rig friendly. Good water pressure and WiFi strength and speed. Full hook ups and 30/50amp service. Plenty of room between sites. Had a lot of gnats. Nice long walking path. Comfortable walk to the Heritage village. Staff very friendly. Roads are one way, but folks don't seem to follow that guidance. - BBGuy

A very quiet, pleasant campground near Historic Sauder Village. Even from the far back portion of the campground, the village, restaurant, bakery were just a 10-15 walk. Site was pretty level, but we still used our leveling jacks to lift the front a bit. Utilities were in top notch condition and located on the driver's side of the rig. We had five bars with Verizon 4G, but the campground wifi was awesome. Even on a weekend, we had a pretty good connection that was suitable for email and light browsing. In between the two campground loops was a nice walking trail of about a mile through the cornfields. It had shade trees and benches every so often for resting. Evening walks are accompanied by fireflies. The restrooms/showers were clean and had ice available for a reasonable fee. Firewood is available on your way in from a self service shed. There is a train about a half mile away, but it wasn't loud enough to wake us up. The back loop has no mature trees, but they have young ones planted next to each site. In addition to the group firepits, each site has its own firering. Another thing we noticed was how wide the roads were. Big rigs should have no problem getting around, backing in, etc. - 4forsmores

We were last here three years ago. The park is still immaculate. Full hookups are available on back in sites but not on pull thrus. The splash zone will be a hit with kids. A nice lake is on the grounds as well as a playground, tetherball, laundry, cornhole, and more. Firewood is for sale. A restaurant and bakery is out front. Sauder furniture outlet is on the grounds. The Heritage Inn hotel allows all camping guests to swim in the large indoor hotel pool and hot tub. Breakfast is also available at the hotel for a price. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. The staff is pleasant. A loudspeaker announces threatening weather and invites you into the hotel if severe weather occurs. Lots of park for the money here! - Tammy7

I stay at this park at least twice a year, with my 30 foot camper. I'm a little weary to even review this place, as I like to think of it as "my little secret." This park is why I still camp to this day. I've had a handful of weary experiences elsewhere, but staying here makes it all worth it. I feel safe letting my kids wander the campground on their own. There are multiple clean playgrounds. The shower house is clean. If you want to go down to the lake, you can swim, fish, or canoe. There are soccer fields, basketball courts, a volleyball court, running trails, hiking trails... this place really has it all. If I had to pick a con, which is really nitpicking... the camp store could be a little bigger, but if you need to run into town, Wauseon is close enough in case of emergency. I love this park. I hope you all visit, and share a piece of the serenity this place offers. - JasoHemm

My family and I stayed for three nights and had a terrific time. Our site (#40) was pretty level and had 50 amp power. There is potable water and dump station located at the entrance of the park. The front office people and camp hosts were extremely polite and professional. The did a terrific job cleaning all the sites including removing ashes from the fire pits! Although the park was full the weekend we were there, people were very respectful of each other's camp sites and sound levels. No load music or screening! We'll definitely be back!! - tmmcgowan

This is our favorite Ohio State Park. We live withing 3 miles of Maumee Bay State Park, but drive over 70 miles to camp at Harrison Lake. We have camped here for years. Some sites require leveling, but it's short work. While the sites are open, campers respect those around you, and many walk the road waving at campers as they go by. Lots of dogs, and campers keep those in tow, as well. - Bob F.

This is essentially a parking lot with electrical hook ups. I wish more states did this at rest areas. No need to exit the turnpike. Sites have no sewer or water hook up, but the dump station and potable water are easy access, and you are only supposed to stay one 24 hour period anyway. Fast food, toilets, and fuel are all available as part of the service area. Sites are only 40 feet long, so larger outfits may not find them as convenient as we did. There is a kiosk at the entrance to pay the $20 and get the receipt that doubles as your pass, so there is no need to enter the main building. - BounderPounder

Essentially an RV parking lot with 20,30, and 50 amp electric hookups. Potable water and a dump station are easily accessible. Fast food, convenience store, bathrooms, and fuel are all available as part of the turnpike service area.

You can't beat the Ohio Turnpike plazas. All are modern and all have RV parking with electric. We have stayed at several. Tiffin River (eastbound 20 miles from Indiana border) is set far off the turnpike so you hardly hear any road noise even outside. Well lit. Safe. Good food in the plaza and clean restrooms and showers. There is also a dump station and fresh water. Thank you Ohio DOT. Excellent job. - fulltimervtravel

This was a unique little campground with character, which seemed to be very popular with local seasonal folks. The owners were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating, and even saved me a pull-through spot since I mentioned at time of reservation that I was a newbie with a fifth wheel. The interior roads are gravel and dusty, but in decent condition and just wide enough to get around in. Imagine rigs bigger than 35 feet long could have some issues though. Our site was a level, packed gravel site in the shade, but really close to our neighbors. CG was well maintained, and owners regularly make rounds on carts, picking up trash, delivering firewood, and just saying hello- even offer a "honey wagon" service for dumping tanks. Dump station access upon departure was easy. The bathroom/shower facility was clean, although with limited capacity. Verizon signal strength was great, but had no luck with campground WiFi. They have a nice little camp store too. Mosquitoes can be bad- they were when we were there. We would stay there again as a waypoint in travels, but probably not as a destination due to tight, crowded feeling. We had 30 amp water and electric site. - We Roamed and Rambled

Stayed 2 days in a 5th wheel, was a decent park to stay in while visiting friends. Park owners/hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Site was very nice although was just grass....but nice thick grass. We will definitely stay here again.... - steelpony

First of all - this campground has something many campgrounds lack - it has a soul! You feel very welcome from the first minute you check in and until you leave. Owners present (they live at the CG) and are helping all the time. Most of the sites are seasonal and this campground really changed my earlier a bit negative view of the guests who stay long. Seasonal here are exceptionally friendly and comes by to say hi and share some tips of local restaurants, places worth seeing etc. Campground is easy to find, sign easy to see, you get a gate card so you can get inside 24/7. Sewer for grey water and 50AMP electric. We were there during Labour Day and were lucky to get a site since one person cancelled late. In the center there is a lake divided in to a fishing zone and one for swimming. Took a swim almost every night to cool down and it was really clean and very well kept. Laundry worked fine and toilets were simple but clean. We camped in our Fifth Wheel and are full timers so did not use the facilities very often. The wireless internet is the best we have encountered so far. A steady 5-10mb/s and a customer service Best in Class. The even gave us some extra hours at the day we left for free. They do charge a buck or two per day but that is ok since the speed was fantastic. I rather pay a small fee and KNOW it works then to get to a CG with lousy free WiFi that comes and goes. Cosy place and highly recommended, again - hardware is important like electricity etc. but software is actually a factor worth competing with as well. They had a small store with great prices and we filled propane as well. Fireplaces at every site. Lots of trees and shade not perfect for satellite dishes but we did not have time to watch TV, nice to socialize with all the great people instead. At labour Day they had MooseHunt for the kids and some other activities. Very family friendly. Price here was low (hope the owner does not read this review!) even given the fact that electricity and internet was extra. Lots to see in Toledo as well so the two weeks we stayed went VERY fast. We will for sure come back hopefully already in the spring. - BasilFawlty

Our second time there. Facilities are not glamorous but adequate for our needs. Staff is friendly. - Tanker
Aug 2011 - $21.00
Rate reflects weekly. Quiet and clean. Minimal bathrooms (no paper towels) and showers. Sites level but small. Most sites are permanent. Not much to write about. Many trees that will possibly mess up satellite usage. Many residents use golf carts but not excessively. - Bigbyte

Don't be fooled by the beauty of the entrance to the park. Once you are behind the owner's home you will see that this park has not had maintenance in some time. One shower for men and one for women in a park with 200 sites. If you are parked in the electric and water area you have true "outhouses" to use. Majority of campers are here permanently and almost all use gas powered golf carts constantly. It smells like you are parked in a rest stop instead of in the woods. Every weekend night at 9 PM they have a parade with their golf carts, circling the park 2-3 times and blowing their horns all the way! - wilmamc

We used this as an overnight stay. Booked a pull through. Got a back-in that's only a pull through if the opposite side isn't there? Not happy about that but at least I could keep my truck and trailer connected. Price was OK considering it was a grass/sand/dirt site! Not much in the way of amenities, staff seemed very friendly as did all the campers. My only real complaint is the dump station. It's set up wrong. If you pull in from the front of the campground the trailers is leaning to the curbside and nose down, can't even drain the tanks! I had to pull in from the opposite way so the valves were in the low side. I had to use my long sewer hose to run to the dump on he opposite side! This needs to be corrected! I don't think I'll be returning as there are better options in the area! - dodge guy

Stayed there for a year as a seasonal camper. Other campers were very nice and this place has a lot of potential. The campground store is never open with no posted hours, the playground equipment is old and outdated, sand burrs all over the beach, no family activities. Every Sunday they would go around and pump out the Black tanks on the campers and then dump the sewage back in the woods (Sewer sites were available but capped by the health department). The following Saturday the same truck would be spraying the roads to keep the dust down, disgusting! - OhioCamper67

My family of 6 from Northern Indiana, has stayed here for 2 months strait while my husband has been working out of Toledo. We love it here. Awesome staff, very helpful and always with a smile! The campground setting is absolutely beautiful. Two big ponds with an abundance of fish; my husband and kids fished almost every night! The beach for swimming is always clean and the kids love spending time there! I would recommend this campground to anyone, we will definitely be returning for future stays! - Kelli Wildermuth

This is a semi-modern Michigan State Park. 30 amp electric is available but the power pedestals are shared between two sites which means you could have 75' or more to hook up. No water or sewer available at sites. There is no dump station or bath house but there are pit toilets. This is about as close to boon docking as you can get but still have developed sites. Some front sites are large enough for most rigs but the further you go back into the camping area the tighter it gets. I was able to get around towing my 31' 5th wheel but I wouldn't want to try it with anything much bigger. The sites are grass with fire pit and picnic table, large enough to stretch out with brush and trees between sites so you don't see the site next door. This spring has been wet and cold so the majority of sites had very damp ground. Lots of campers were getting stuck or digging deep ruts as the pulled in and out of the sites. Not sure if the weather played any part but the mosquitoes and ticks were terrible but from talking with other ticks seem to be a problem here. Our two dogs got about 6 ticks, we got 4 ticks and we never walked in the woods or or any of the paths. There is a swimming beach and a boat launch about 1-1/2 miles away. The beach looked nice but the water was still too cold to go it. I doubt I will go back here again. - HobbyTalk

The Leveson Inquiry into phone hacking has heard that Vodafone, Orange and T-Mobile took five year to tell their customers their voicemails had been targeted.
After the News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman was arrested in August 2006, the three mobile phone firms established that 156 people on their networks were hacking victims.
Fears that the findings would prejudice the police investigation prevented Orange and T-Mobile from notifying those affected until July 2011, with Vodafone only telling victims last month.
In contrast, O2, one of the other leading mobile network providers in the UK told 40 customers affected they had been hacked when the scandal broke five years ago.
Mark Hughes , Vodafone's head of security, said the company identified 177 different voicemail numbers that had been accessed from two landlines belonging to News International.
Defending the decision not to notify victims, he said: 'We were expressly told at the time of the investigation not to contact our customers as we may prejudice the police investigation.'
He admitted that with hindsight it would have been 'much better' to have a level of clarity with the police in order to tell customers what the issue was.
James Blendis, vice-president for legal and regulatory affairs for Everything Everywhere, said that informing all hacking victims five years ago could have alerted journalists carrying out the illegal activity.

Argonide Corp.
Argonide manufactures a nanofilter based on electropositive capture, versus a "sieve" based filtration process. As a result, its NanoCeram filters are said to attain filtration levels normally associated with ultraporous membranes, without the pressure drop. Even with a pore rating of 0.2 microns, NanoCeram filter cartridges provide flowrates and the low pressure drop of a two micron filter, according to the company.
NanoCeram non-woven, pleated filter cartridges efficiently filter cysts, bacteria, endotoxins, DNA and even virus; and combine a very high dirt-holding capacity with the reliability of a depth filter. NanoCeram excels as a polishing filter and/or as a pre-filter for R.O., ultraviolet, ozone and other treatment systems.

CBS Sets New Saturday Morning Block With Shows Hosted by Jamie Oliver, Laila Ali
The "Dream Team" is coming to CBS.
The network has partnered with independent TV producer-distributor Litton Entertainment on a new Saturday morning programming block that will be branded "The CBS Dream Team, It's Epic!"
PHOTOS: The 100 Fresh Faces of Fall TV
The three-hour block, which debuts Sept. 28, will include six new half-hour series, all in high-definition, that will feature such personalities as celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, sports personality Laila Ali and omg! Insider co-host Kevin Frazier.
Each show is designed to offer pro-social and uplifting messages aimed at viewers ages 13-16. Topics will range from pet adoption and animal care to healthy eating makeovers to athletes making a difference in their communities to personal interest stories about people who have accomplished something great.
The new shows:
-- Lucky Dog, in which animal trainer Brandon McMillan rescues untrained and unadoptable dogs and works to turn them into the perfect pets to be adopted by families.
-- Dr. Chris Pet Vet, which chronicles the work of Dr. Chris Brown, said to be one of the world's busiest vets, and lives of the animals he treats.
--Recipe Rehab, in which families submit their favorite high-calorie recipes and two chefs compete to give the recipes a low-calorie twist.
-- Jamie Oliver's 15-Minute Meals, in which the chef makes quick and easy meals in real time, offering hints, tricks and lots of nutritional info along the way.
PHOTOS: 51 New and Returning Summer Series
-- All In With Laila Ali, in which she profiles inspirational people, groundbreaking achievements and extraordinary lifestyles.
-- Game Changers With Kevin Frazier, which spotlights professional athletes who use their public image to make positive changes in the lives of fans in need.
All of the programming in the new block is compliant with the FCC's educational/informational rules, which mandate that TV stations must air at least three hours of E/I programming a week. The airtimes for the new shows may differ in each market.

I guess different people have different views, often depending on their own heritage and predilictions, and the intent of the word user.
Until now it seemed OK to many people for gays to call themselves queers, Blacks to call themselves niggers, people from the Indian subcontinent to call themselves Pakis, and so on.
Only one of those would apply to me and, while I accept some people feel they're reclaiming and taking the sting out of the word, I've never felt comfortable hearing it or using it. Even its use for comedy or entertainment seems questionable.
So should users be prosecuted? In my view it depends on the intent. But therein lies the difficulty. Where should the burden of proof lie: on the user or the prosecutor? Meanwhile, I guess people should have a reasonable right to offend, and the rest of us should have a reasonable right to be offended...

Website of the week: Activity Hero
In a nutshell: Parents planning ahead for the summer can use this site ( www.activityhero.com) to find camps and other local activities to keep their children occupied and entertained during the break. From creative writing to circus training, the site has aggregated them so that parents can search by category, location, schedule and age.
Cool factor: On a budget? Not sure if mixed martial arts is right for your child? The site, founded by three Silicon Valley moms, also lists programs that offer special discounts and trial offers. And, like Yelp, parents can review and rate their experience with the programs.
Note: The site is also a good local resource for after-school programs year-round, as well as birthday party activities and venues.

Rossland may soon be allowing dogs downtown, as council asked city administration, on Monday, to put together an amendment to the Animal Control Bylaw that will allow dogs to be brought downtown.
The move follows a committee of the whole last week in which council members recommended attended dogs be allowed to be walked downtown.
The committee also recommended that bylaw enforcement be increased once the bylaw is amended, as well as a fee structure for fines which will be applied cumulatively per dog, per offence, without resetting on a yearly basis.
A motion for city staff to talk with the Rossland Chamber of Commerce to determine which businesses owners would allow dogs to be tied up behind their business, was defeated.
The committee recommended that the bylaw also be amended to prohibit dogs from being tied up downtown.
The committee deferred any decisions on a possible smoking regulation bylaw, which could prohibit smoking in public places, until after Interior Health makes a presentation in front of council on April 8.
