Triangular bag :: a tutorial
You can't look past the Martin Margiela triangle bags on the net lately. I had seen this type of bags before, pre-Margiela, I mean, and a lot cheaper too. I liked the minimalism - they reminded me of Japanese bag folding, furoshiki. The ingenuity is striking - a good example of how to optimize under constraints (this is the economist in me speaking) or translated in sewing terms: how to make the largest bag possible given only a small piece of fabric.
Anyway, as I was trying to figure out how to make one of these, I found out you can do so in a couple of different ways (I figured out at least 3 different methods). It all boils down to basic geometry, combining shapes in one way or another. I made several and I find the method described below to be the easiest one. All it takes is a rectangular piece of fabric, some folding and basic sewing skills. And if you prepare your fabric by hemming it all the way around, you can make this bag in under 15 minutes. As fast, almost, as furoshiki folding, except that this one's permanent.
What you need:
Note: this bag can be finished in many different ways. I won't go into detail here, but you could add lining, pockets, add a longer strap, finish it off with boxed corners, etc. Just know that when you add something you'll need more fabric.
- a rectangular piece of fabric, where the length of the fabric equals three times the width. To give you an idea of the dimensions: a 50 cm x 150 cm piece of fabric results in a 65-70 cm wide bag (which is really big!) depending on how you finish the seams.
- sewing machine, thread, pins
- Iron
1. Hem the fabric all the way around.
2. Place the fabric in front of you, right side facing up, and start folding as shown in the pictures.
3. Pin the fabric together where it says 'sew' on the picture. Flip over and repeat on the other side.
4. Sew together both seams on the machine. Turn inside out. Press.
5. Handle: Join the tips by overlapping them and sew into place.
A nice detail: before joining the tips I slipped on a piece of leather - a detail I was really proud of. It's only while looking at the Margiela pictures, right now, as I was writing, that I noticed they did the exact same thing...
That's all there is to it! I hope you like this bag as much as I do...

Pascale, thank you very much for revealing the mystery behind this very clever, economical bag.
I think that I will have to try to make one ... I am already thinking about which fabric to use.
Your posts are always terrific. I always pop by, even though I don't always leave a message.

I'm fairly new at this. I had a question. When you line it do you make the lining the same way you made the outside of the purse? Or a tad bit smaller? Thank you for the great tutorial!

- woolywoman said...
for those of us still laboring under inches, I found a piece of fabric 15 inches long and 44 inches wide made a nice sized bag- a little smaller than a market bag, but perfect for a few quick purchases. I used bias binding instead of hemming. Thanks for the instruction!

I'm going to try it!!!
What kind of fabric do you use?
- February 25, 2013 at 1:26 PM
- Pascale said...
@ Ine: I used linen - but any fabric could work. However, consider lining the bag when using a light weight fabric. Hope this helps
@ Tracy: lining: I always make the lining the exact same size as the outside.

Love this bag!
I made a version from an old jeans, cut up one leg to get a piece of 30 by 90 cm (with the back pocket on it). Made a lining exaclty the same way (but left an opening for turning), sewed together at the top, turned, pressed, topstitched et voilà! Oh, I also added a zipper pocket using this tutorial http://www.craftpassion.com/2010/04/sewing-tutorial-internal-zipper-pocket-for-bag.html.

Great bag - it brought back memories from when I used to make these almost identical style back in the 1970's.
- September 22, 2013 at 7:26 PM
I loved this so much that I got right to work as soon as I saw it. I used a vintage linen tablecloth that I had been wondering what to do with. I was able to use most of the beautiful embroidery work. I added lining and pockets to the inside, making the pockets out of the left over embroidery work. Thanks for the tutorial!

Coahoma falls to C. City, Bearkats down rival Eagles
COAHOMA — In what shaped up to be a battle resulting in numerous injuries sustained by both sides, the Bulldogs fell to the Colorado City Wolves 20-6 in a gritty duel Friday at Bulldog Stadium."It was a very physical affair," said Coahoma Head Coach Trey Gardner of the loss. The Bulldogs' only score came in the second quarter on a T.J. White run to give Coahoma six points. The kick after was no good and the Bulldogs couldn't put together another scoring drive for the remainder of the game.Coahoma opened the season with a narrow 30-27 defeat at the hands of rival Forsan in Midland, but rebounded last week against with a 27-8 victory over Coleman.As for what caused the breakdown in fluidity this week, Gardner cites several issues."Up front, I felt (Colorado City) handled us," Gardner said. "We left the ball on the ground — three turnovers — and we didn't take advantage of the opportunities that were given to us. We didn't play smart."On the positive side, Coahoma did manage to rack up 167 yards rushing, but posted a meager four yards through the air. Senior Tanner Ruiz accounted for most of the movement on the ground, recording 111 yards on 21 carries and senior Braxten Iden pulled in an interception for the 'Dogs who were outmatched by the Wolves for most of the outing.Three Coahoma starters were also sidelined with injuries, but Gardner declined to elaborate on the details until more information is available."We are focusing on Denver City now," Gardner said of the Bulldogs' next opponent. "We know more about what we can do and what we can't do. We know what we have to work on. We moved the ball well, but we moved it between the 20 (yard lines). It was a tough loss, but we know we can win games and we will go out and try to beat Denver City next week."The Denver City Mustangs also hold a 1-2 record and will host the Bulldogs on Friday at 7:30 p.m._________________________________________________________________________STERLING CITY — In six-man rivalry action, the Garden City Bearkats — who won back-to-back titles in 2009 and 2010 — are starting to get back into form under the tutilege of new Head Coach Matt Odom. After two consecutive losses to tough Water Valley and Borden County squads, the Bearkats found a winning rythym as they defeated Sterling City 50-40 to hand the Eagles their first loss on the season.Playing the tough, pre-district schedule is part of Odom's plan to prepare the Bearkats for a postseason run."When you play strong teams, they expose you," Odom explained. "I think it's a good thing. It gives us a clear picture of where we are."Where the Bearkats stand seems to be where Odom expected them to be at this point."Initially, against Water Valley, we saw some things we needed to fix," Odom said. "When we played Borden County, we had our game faces on. It was a loss, but the passing game had improved — we were throwing and catching the ball well."Trailing by 10 points in the fourth stanza, the Bearkats managed to put together a late rally, scoring 20 unanswered points on the Eagles. Quarterback Austin Odom led the Bearkats with three touchdowns — two via the air and one on the ground — as he passed for over 160 yards.Defensively, Odom believes his team has tightened up."We want to be more aggressive, but we have played better each week," Odom added. "It was a great game, (Sterling City) jumped on us 14-0, but we plugged away at it and got back into it. Our defense made some good stops, the offense performed well and we got our first win."It won't get easier for Odom as the Bearkats travel to meet No. 2 ranked Ira on Friday at 7:30 p.m.

At Long Last! The NHL Lockout is Over
Should fans be happy that the lockout is over, or upset it took so long for a new deal to be reached?
Lockout. Just the very word can send shivers down a sports fans' spine. The agonizing thought that an individual cannot watch their beloved team on a regular basis because millionaires are squabbling with millionaires over miniscule details is almost unbearable.

Bally Posts Gain in 2005 Revenues and Reports Decline in 2006 Operating Costs
CHICAGO—Bally Total Fitness, which experienced a net loss of $30.3 million in 2004, reduced its net loss by 70 percent to $9.6 million in 2005 and posted 2005 revenues of $1.071 billion. While the company posted record numbers in 2005, Bally reported a $4.8 million decline in operating income during the first quarter of 2006 due to higher general and administrative and advertising costs. The disposition of Crunch Fitness in the first quarter of 2006 drove a net income of $32.7 million, and revenue increased 1 percent to $255.2 million, according to the company.
On a June 28 conference call, CEO Paul Toback said Bally did what it set out to do by changing its operating model while continuing to grow its business. Bally overhauled its membership model by offering long-term contracts with a low monthly fee and a minimal downpayment as well as month-to-month memberships with a higher monthly fee but more flexibility. After 36 months, the company traditionally gave the members deep discounts to renew their membership dues, but to increase its profitability and stay competitive, the fitness operator will eliminate these discounts for an additional earnings of $10 million over a three-year-period, Toback said.
Regarding the strategic process, Toback said several parties are interested in Bally, but the company has opted to keep the sales process under wraps until a buyer is announced. When an investor asked when the sale would be finalized, Toback said he wouldn't speculate on the timeline of the strategic process.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I love finding ways to make our small home fun and functional for myself and my four year old son, Kahlil. Friends and family enjoying hanging out in our bright, airy loft built on top of our neighbor's three car garage. The hardwood floors, a huge plus, make cleaning up after a spunky preschooler a breeze. Located across the street from a beautiful marina, park, restaurants, comic book and record store, it truly is a perfect place for this dynamic duo.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- While the rest of the space is one big open room, the bedroom is separated by a bulky semi-wall with big cubby holes on each side meant for entertainment centers. They seemed pointless until I started using them for what small spaces need most –- storage! With only one closet in the entire loft, I converted one cubby hole into a pantry and the other into a second closet. The great thing about the semi-wall is that there are windows at the top to keep the air and light flowing through as well as built in shelves that we use for more storage.

DIGHTON — Voters at the special and annual town meetings on June 2 will weigh in on more than 40 articles.
Selectmen on Wednesday approved the warrant, which will call on voters to decide on a $15.6 million fiscal 2015 budget. The Finance Committee has trimmed that figure from the requested approximate budget of $16.06 million.
Among the items will be a recall initiative. If voters approve that matter, residents will have a provision in place to recall elected officials from office. That matter was posted on the warrant after a resident submitted a petition.
If the article passes, residents will be able to file paperwork with the town clerk to recall an elected official. Residents cannot recall an elected official who has been in office for six months or less, however.
There will be several items on the annual Town Meeting warrant that will look to finance repairs, including an approximate $79,000 measure to repair the tennis and basketball facilities on Somerset Avenue near the police station. The measure will also upgrade the electrical configuration there, such as the wiring.
The poor condition of the facilities impelled a shutdown order last year.
Another initiative will seek to raise $68,000 to replace the roof of Fire Station No. 1 and $30,000 to repair the roof of a salt shed by the maintenance facility.
Officials will also look to raise $61,000 to replace a Highway Department one-ton dump truck from 1979. Selectmen say the new vehicle will also come equipped with a plow.
Another article will look to raise $287,952 for road work within the town.
The special Town Meeting on June 2 will take care of housekeeping items for fiscal 2014. The annual Town Meeting will set the budget for fiscal 2015.
Dighton's contribution to the regional school budget will also be set by annual Town Meeting voters.
Selectmen Chairman Dean Cronin recently said that should not be a problem, as Chapter 70 state aid was reconfigured, and it was discovered by state and local officials earlier this year that Dighton last year was shortchanged $1 million and Rehoboth was overassessed by the same amount.
Cronin said even with the school district's proposed 4.8 percent increase, Dighton will end up paying approximately $500,000 less for education than last year.
School Committee Chairwoman Eliza Couture recently indicated that convincing Rehoboth voters to authorize the increase will be a more difficult task.
On May 14 at 6:30 p.m., selectmen will host a forum at Town Hall, explaining the articles that will appear before voters on June 2.

The systems are up again except for pkgbox.dragonflybsd.org. apcupsd has been integrated and tested. There's nothing wrong with pkgbox's disks but the motherboard failed to power up. In fact, both my Asus A8N SLI-Delux machines (apollo and pkgbox) failed to power up. The green standby LED works but no fans, no main power, no nothing. I've determined that it isn't the power supply and it still didn't boot up with all the peripherals and cards removed so it looks like a motherboard problem. After some fiddling.. wiggling various things, I managed to get apollo to power up, but pkgbox is dead. I am going to replace both motherboards so pkgbox will probably be dead for the rest of the week. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

DUDLEY Kingswinford head coach Shaun Perry has targeted major player recruitment this summer after putting his name in the hat for the club's vacant director of rugby position.
He believes he has learned just what is needed to change DK's fortunes for next season after enduring a disastrous campaign that has all but seen his side relegated from National League Two North.
Dudley Kingswinford extended their run of results to 24 straight defeats this season when losing 36-0 at home to Birmingham and Solihull on Saturday.
Saddled with a yellow card to flanker Matt Squires within just 90 seconds of the kick-off, DK were immediately on the backfoot against a Bees side which still believe they can obtain a top four finish.
With DK down to 14 players, Bees were quick to take advantage, running in two tries from fly half Adam Canning who raced over half the length of the pitch to score, while winger Chris Fensome snapped up a second try on the overlap.
Canning ran even further on the half hour, intercepting a wayward DK pass on his own 22 to race over under the posts.
Right on the stroke of half time, Bees fly half Rod Petty spotted a gap in DKs defence and scampered over by the posts.
Canning converted three of the tries to put Bees out of sight by half time with a 26-0 lead.
DK enjoyed plenty of possession in the second half - but that was helped by the fact Bees were reduced to 13 having flanker Ashley Scriven and No.8 Steve Leach sent to the sin bin.
Despite their numerical advantage, the home side still failed to register a score.
However, coach Perry is more than ready for the challenge of building a new era at the club and confirmed he had applied for the director of rugby position.
"We already have one eye on next season and are continuing to try and get improvement out of our young players and stick to our playing philosophy," said the former England international.
"The main thing we need to do is work hard at recruiting more players to boost our squad in the summer. We already have a good development section and some talented young players, we just need to get some experienced players to compliment that. We want some rough diamonds that we can polish," he added.
A shortlist of names has now been drawn up for interview, with a decision hopefully due before the end of the month.
The interview panel will consist of chairman Ken Crane, club captain Ed Parry and joint head coach Pete Knight. Tony Lanaway and Gordon Bannatyne will sit in on the interviews in an advisory capacity.
DK will now face mid-table side Caldy away on Saturday as they look to end their losing run.

"Coming to Terms with Governance" was the focus of a workshop in Bangkok, 15-16 October. Representatives from Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka – the three Asian countries involved in the global project – participated in the workshop, which was convened by the Sri Lanka country component of IUCN's global, DFID-funded project "Improving Natural Resource Governance for Rural Poverty Reduction", with the support of the Regional Environmental Law Programme, Asia.
The workshop was held to address issues that have arisen in implementing the global project in all three Asian countries. In particular, the three countries wanted to arrive at a common understanding of governance and how to apply that understanding in Asia.
The overall goal of the global project is to improve natural resource governance for rural poverty reduction. The purpose is to establish enabling conditions for better environmental governance, including fair and equitable access to natural resources, new benefit sharing arrangements, and more participative and transparent decision-making in selected countries. In Bangladesh, the project is focusing on capacity building for communities and local government, multi-stakeholder platforms for natural resource governance, and disseminating lessons learned to ministries in particular and the public in general. For Nepal, the project goal is mainstreaming environmental rights and principles of good governance for natural resource management in the country. The purpose is to ensure that the country's new constitution, now being drafted, provides enabling provisions in order to promote fair and equitable access to natural resources for vulnerable groups, in particular in the cases of community forestry and watershed management systems. Sri Lanka's project focuses on improving environmental justice for the rural poor. It aims to strengthen natural resource rights and promote changes to reduce procedural inequities addressing questions of fair treatment in uniformly applying governing rules, regulations and evaluation criteria focusing mainly on issues faced by poor communities dependent on natural resources. The Sri Lanka project has three main elements: improving governance for managing natural resources; empowering civil society to reduce poverty and better manage natural resources; and capacity building for civil society to effectively manage natural resources.

Should I be that concerned too??? LOL! Maybe I'm being negligent, but as long as he is wiggling, pooping, and demanding his food... even if he only eats for a few minutes... I'm not worried... and he's on the small end.... roughly the 5th percentile. Neither myself nor my doc are concerned.

BP targets Twitter to clean up oil spill
More PR brilliance
BP has complained to Twitter about one of the very many parody feeds mocking its efforts to clean up the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
As a result BPGlobalPR has changed its bio to read: "We are not associated with Beyond Petroleum, the company that has been destroying the Gulf of Mexico for 51 days."
The feed has just short of 150,000 followers compared to just 13,000 for the official BP Twitter feed - BPAmerica. The company is doing better on Facebook where its page is "liked" by 20,000 people.
The Twitterer said yesterday: "Not sure what we've done wrong, but we've been asked to change our name/profile to indicate that we're 'fake'."
BP said it was not interested in getting the feed closed, but wanted to make sure it followed Twitter's policies.
Much of the rest of Twitter has already moved on - #BPrebrand is this hour's hot topic. Suggestions so far include: Big Profits Botched PR, Beyond Pollution, Busted Pipeline and Bankruptcy Please!
BP's share price continues to get hammered - it's down another 16 per cent today and is now worth less than half what it was in April. A separate row is developing over whether the oil giant should, or should not, pay out a share dividend - which accounts for over ten per cent of total payouts to UK pension funds and would also cut the income of some retired people in the US.
BP got slated earlier this week for buying contentious Google AdWords like "oil spill" and even "Gulf of Mexico". Top sponsored result for both is the section of BP's website devoted to its clean-up response - which is viewed by some as stifling debate and by others as a waste of money which could otherwise be used to clean beaches and birds.
Meanwhile the rhetoric gets ever more extreme. While President Obama says he is looking for a butt to kick, Norman Tebbit lurched into the sunlight to describe his behaviour as despicable and accused him of "a crude [sic], bigoted, xenophobic display of partisan political presidential petulance against a multinational company". With friends like these, and Boris Johnson, who needs enemies? ®

Rated 4 out of 5 by calicalicaligirl from Pretty and Gorgeous The dress looked amazing when I tried it on in the fitting room, however I would have preferred a darker blue because when you are in a well-lit environment, the blue looks a bit too bright. I think it would look stunning at clubs and bars, where the environment is darker. I'm only giving it four stars because it fit me everywhere else except the chest, which was a bit too tight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Emily from Gorgeous dress I love this dress, and agree with everything that's been said in other reviews. As far as sizes, I'm 5'2 and 100-103lbs, B/small C cup. The XXS is perfect. It's my normal size. I don't think this dress runs small.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Picolate from When I wear this dress, my husband forgets that I am his wifey. I saw this dress on the website and it was a love at first site. I checked the website everyday untill they stocked size small. To me this dress is the symbol of BEBE style. Material is so soft and still it makes me love my wide hips. I am 34B in cup size ( Victoria's Secret), and size small is the perfect fit for my bust. I am not going to say much about the back of the dress because I do not want to sound like a pervert. But I adore this one everytime I open my closet.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Beatiful from This dress is beautiful. This dress is very pretty. It sexy yet classy enough for a wed. The only problem was the small was a tad bit to big for me in the bust area and i am about a c/d. But it was kind of expensive too. I typically dont like to spend more than a 100 for a dress to wear one time to a wed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by LoveisaBeautifulGift from Purchased for Girlfriend I bought this dress as a gift for my girlfriend days before breaking up. :( I wont know how it fits, but it sure looked really nice. Shes really tiny, so I bought the xsmall. shes about 5.1 and 105 pounds. I know she'll be turning heads and looking hot in it, >.< but I can still wish her the best. Enjoy ;)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Julie25 from This fress is gorgeous!! I love this dress!!! It is so much more beautiful in person. I was really nervous on what size to order. For me, I went to the store and tried on the x-small. The boob area was a little big. Typically, I wear a 34b/32c in the bras. I'm about 5'7", and 110. It wasn't until the sales chick told me she still had an xx-small in the store. I tried it on, and the boob area fit me perfect. So without any hesitation, I got the xx-small :) <3 LOVE!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by julez from nice evening cocktail dress This dress gives the fancy and a luxurious look. Like the other reviewers, this dress makes me look classy, very appealing sexy yet not cheap at the same time. Im usually xxs so I bought xxs but unfortunately this dress runs very small that I replaced with an xs. I am 5 ft 1 inches and 88-90lbs. And xs fits perfect! Ladies try getting one size up from your usual size. The picture and the model does not do justice for this dress... maybe the color of the dress just doesn't seem to be well captured through cameras. However it looks stunning in person! I can't wait to wear this and be the center of attention on my birthday!

Re-issue Ski Women
From the dance floor to the slopes, the 1970s were a time of free spirits and freestylin'. Skis and disco were in the air as a generation of long-haired, pot-smoking, acrobatic hotdoggers sought to liberate skiing from what they perceived to be its long imprisonment. Along with alpine, downhill conquest came the resurgence of cross-country touring and the telemark turn. It was a time when people were open to trying anything and everything and skiing was no exception.


text: what a douche bag Ohio Dad Who Shock-Collared Kids Gets 16 Years - Cincinnati News Story - WLWT Cincinnati XENIA, Ohio -- A western Ohio man has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for disciplining his children with a dog shock collar. David Liskany of Jamestown had pleaded guilty to charges of felonious assault and attempted felonious assault. Prosecutors had recommended a lighter sentence under the plea deal. In court Friday, Greene County Common Pleas Judge J. Timothy Campbell compared the punishments to torture. He said the case sounded "like something from Guantanamo Bay." Campbell said the 39-year-old punished the children in 2006 and 2007 by putting them in cold showers, holding them underwater and using the shock collar. The children are now 5, 12 and 14. The case began after the oldest child walked for two days to reach a family member.

Caroline Edith St Clair & her son Dring Leslie St Clair
Caroline Edith St Clair was born and registered as Caroline Edith Boylan in Carlton Australia 1877, but later took her mother's married name of Cox. Caroline married James Peter St Clair 22 March 1900. They had a son, Dring Leslie St Clair 7 Jan 1900, apparently prior to their marriage. I have found that James Peter St Clair died 12 June 1901. I have been unable to find what happened to Caroline Edith St Clair & her son Dring Leslie St Clair. Maybe Caroline remarried, but cannot find any trace of a second marriage in NZ or Aus and Dring seems to have disappeared as well. I am hoping that someone may be able assist me with further information. Thanks in anticipation
Daniel and Eliza Cox
I am researching the families of Daniel and Eliza (nee Fletcher)who were married in Victoria and both died in NZ 1897 and 1899 respectively. I am having trouble locating all of their parents. i.e., William Cox who married Sussanha Barber both from England and probably married in England. Also Eliza's parents: William and Elizabeth (nee Spencer) Fletcher whom I also think probably married in England. Any help would be gratefully received.

Radiation therapy for breast cancer — Comprehensive overview covers definition, what to expect from this treatment.
Radiation therapy for breast cancer uses high-powered X-rays to kill cancer cells. Rapidly growing cells, such as cancer cells, are more susceptible to the effects of radiation therapy than are normal cells.
One of two approaches may be used with radiation therapy for breast cancer:
Radiation therapy may be used to treat breast cancer at almost every stage. It''s an effective way to reduce your risk of breast cancer recurring after surgery. It can also help control the spread of breast cancer and offer pain relief for advanced breast cancer.
Here are the main ways radiation therapy is used to treat breast cancer:
Radiation therapy for breast cancer is almost always recommended after surgery that removes only the tumor (lumpectomy). A lumpectomy alone, without radiation therapy, carries a relatively high risk of cancer recurrence in the affected breast months or years later because of microscopic deposits of cancer left behind after surgery. Radiation helps to destroy remaining cancer cells.
Lumpectomy combined with radiation therapy is often referred to as breast-conservation therapy. In clinical trials comparing lumpectomy with and without radiation therapy, the addition of radiation therapy after a lumpectomy resulted in significantly decreased rates of breast cancer recurrence and proved to be as effective as having the entire breast removed.
Removal of the entire breast (mastectomy) usually means you won''t need radiation therapy. But radiation therapy is sometimes recommended for women at high risk of cancer recurrence. Factors that may put you at high risk of breast cancer recurrence in your chest wall include:
Radiation therapy can also be used to treat:
If breast cancer has spread to other parts of your body (metastasized) and a tumor is causing pain or some other symptom, radiation can be used to shrink the tumor and ease that symptom.
Both external and internal radiation therapy have potential side effects.
Common side effects include:
Rarely, radiation therapy may cause:
Internal radiation therapy usually produces fewer skin reactions, although the treated area may be sore and tender for a few months after treatment.
Other possible side effects include:
You''ll meet with your radiation therapy team, health care professionals who work together to plan and provide your radiation treatment. Team members usually include:
Your radiation oncologist will review your medical history with you and give you a physical exam to check your overall health before you begin radiation therapy. Your oncologist can also discuss the potential benefits and side effects of your radiation therapy.
Before your first treatment session, you''ll go through a simulation in which a radiation oncologist carefully maps your breast area to pinpoint the precise location of your treatment. During the simulation:
Before internal brachytherapy is started, a special device for the radioactive implants is placed in the area from where the tumor was taken (tumor bed). This may be done during your cancer surgery or as a separate procedure.
If the radiation device is implanted during a separate procedure, it often requires a brief hospital stay. You''ll be given local, regional or general anesthetic for the procedure. Once the holder is implanted, you can likely go home.
There are two approaches to internal radiation therapy for breast cancer:
The typical schedule for external radiation treatments is five days a week for four to six weeks. You''ll receive radiation as an outpatient at a hospital or other treatment facility. You may be able to schedule your sessions at the same time each day.
The duration of internal radiation therapy for breast cancer is much shorter, usually five days. Internal radiation sessions are typically done on an outpatient basis.
A typical radiation therapy session generally follows this process:
Delivery of the radiation lasts a few minutes, but expect to spend 15 to 30 minutes for each visit.
A newer method is accelerated partial breast irradiation. This method targets radiation at the breast area that contained the tumor, rather than the entire breast. It''s also given in fewer, higher doses than standard external beam radiation therapy.
Radiation therapy is painless. You may feel some discomfort from lying in the required position, but this is generally short-lived.
After the session, you''re free to go about your regular activities. Generally no special precautions are needed.
In some cases, once the main radiation therapy sessions have been completed, your doctor may recommend a boost treatment to the tumor bed to further reduce the risk of recurrence. A radiation boost may involve more external radiation therapy sessions or internal radiation therapy.
For internal radiation, the radioactive seeds are inserted twice a day for a few minutes in the implanted radiation device. This is usually done on an outpatient basis, and you can leave between sessions.
After the course of treatment is over, the device is removed. Usually you''re given pain medication before the holders are removed. The area may be sore or tender for a few months.
After you complete radiation therapy, your radiation oncologist will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress, look for late side effects and check for signs of recurrence. You''ll need less frequent follow-up visits the longer you''re cancer-free, but you''re likely to see your medical oncologist for the rest of your life.
When your radiation therapy is completed, tell your doctor or nurse if you experience:

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

Smile Garden's Pretty Paving
I rarely think of Japanese garden design in a modern form. Mostly, I think, when we talk about 'Zen' or 'Japanese' gardens we have a tendancy to lump a huge range of styles into one group, and rarely consider how those styles have evolved in the modern world. Stumbling across this garden by Smile Garden challenges my own parochial notions of Japanese gardens and is inspiring my garden making.
I find the employment of so many different materials supremely suitable for a garden maker that values re-use. It can be quite easy and cost effective to source materials on Craigslist, but the trouble with these sources is that often they don't quite add up to a whole project.
So what to do with a little of this and a little that?
Take inspiration from this garden and arrange it in an organized but visually appealing way. Smile Garden'swebsite is in Japanese and Google translate is leaving a bit to be desired, so if any native speaker would care to enlighten us (me!) about the thought process of the design, I would very much enjoy a translation of the explanation. But until then, I am on the lookout for pieces and parts to create my own Japanese inspired modern rock texture garden.

Product Exclusive: Integrated PLC and HMIs add more snap-in IO
Known for programmable logic controllers (PLCs) with integrated human machine interfaces (HMIs), Unitronics introduces the latest member of the Snap-in I/O Module series: the V200-18-E46B. This new module brings more flexibility to the Unitronics Vision series controllers by supporting more I/O in one low-cost unit, including up to 9 analog inputs, among 46 analog and digital I/Os.
Unitronics' unique PLC and HMI package exempts machine manufacturers from setting up panel-PLC communication, which saves programming time, cabinet space, and money. One ladder logic programming environment is part of the Unitronics "all-in-one package," available at no additional cost.
Connecting onto the back of a Unitronics Vision200, Vision500, Vision1040, or Vision1210 series PLC+HMI, the V200-18-E46B Snap-in module supports 46 analog and digital inputs and outputs. The main difference compared to other Unitronics Snap-I/Os is that it can support 9 analog inputs. In total, it includes: 18 digital inputs (including 2 shaft encoder inputs), 9 analog inputs, 15 relay outputs, and 2 high-speed digital outputs.
Most "Vision" series controllers enable the user to pick and choose from Snap-in I/O combinations to fit specific application needs. One "snap" can fulfill a whole system's requirements; with additional expansion modules, mounted locally or remotely up to 1000 m from the controller, the system can expand to 1,024 I/O. Solitary Snap-in I/Os (without expansion units) typically range from 30 to 62 I/O. Basic Snap I/O options can include: digital and analog inputs and outputs, high-speed I/O, PT100/Thermocouple capabilities, and weight measurement.
"Enhanced Vision" series controllers (V1210, V1040, V570, V350, V560, and V130) include: a USB programming port, recipe capabilities, Micro SD card memory storage for data logging and backup, and PLC cloning, among other features. Communication options include Ethernet, cellular, and industrial protocols, such as MODBUS, DF1 slave, J1939, CANopen, and UniCan.
The new Snap-in module offers particular appeal wherever budget is a primary factor.
Unitronics Ltd. is an Israeli company with international presence (including a U.S. subsidiary) that has been producing PLCs, automation software, and accessory devices since 1989. Combined PLCs and HMIs can be programmed in a single, user-friendly environment. The design saves I/O points, wiring, space, and programming time; elements that translate directly into cost-efficiency.

I'd like to know what your experience was regarding safety and transport, and, of course, of places there. I'd like to visit places as far north as Kalpitiya and south as far as Galle. I'd also like to pay Kandy and the Wilpatta National Park a visit. Is traveling by rail feasible? Any tour companies to go with? I prefer not to go on a tour, though. I don't like being rushed. I'm female, and will travel alone. Also, what's the standard airfare to Sri Lanka? I also want to go to Doha for the tennis, since I nae been to the Middle East before. Two birds with one stone, but Doha/ Dubai isn't enough for two months, and much of the Middle East (Isrea l/ Syria) is dodgy at the mo. So, from K Land to Sri Lanka, to the Middle East and back is on the agenda. Thanks in advance!

You can travel by train between the two (it's a very nice train journey, albeit bumpy). Best to buy 1st class either on the morning or in advance. I was alone, mostly, and never felt at risk. I don't tend to go out very late at night, though. Kandy was still quite bustling but very green and the hotels were reasonable. I stayed in several as I hadn't booked ahead and there was a local holiday/festival going on. I hired a Tuk Tuk driver for several days to explore, The Temple of the Tooth, various other Buddhist temples and Elephant Sanctuary were highlights. I don't know about the airfare as I was traveling from Riyadh (via Abu Dhabi). Why, apart from watching the tennis, would you want to spend time alone in the Middle East? I think most Qataris would be watching from home, and there isn't a huge amount to do there unless you're really interested in the region. You might enjoy seeing Thailand, Indonesia etc much more.

Granted I was there during ramadan so it was uber vanilla, but didn't seem like it's excitement central any other time. A couple of days as a stopover would be more than adequate in my book. If I were you I'd go to Jordan. Great country, great food, friendly people. Hard to believe a place with such shite neighbors can be so laidback. You can also head across the border into Israel if you're so inclined. Worth checking Jerusalem, Bethlehem etc. for a few days. You won't get stamped, so no worried about being denied entry into any of the other Arab countries. Back to top JustinCJoined: 10 Mar 2012Location: We Are The World!

If you cross across that Allenby/King Hussein Bridge you'll avoid the stamp. The Jordanians still claim the West Bank and Jerusalem as their territory (they even have the Al Aqsa Mosque on their money) so they won't stamp you out simply as to do so would be to accept that you're leaving their country and entering a new one. Likewise even though you'll likely only have had a single entry Jordanian visa issued when you fly into Amman they won't cancel your visa when you leave as they still consider you're in their country whilst in the Palestinian territories and by default Israel. I don't think the Israelis have stamped anyone in or out at that crossing for years, although the security would be tight (especially now) so expect to be grilled. I was questioned for an hour and then had to wait another hour while they confirmed my info, phoned some of my Israeli friends etc. Don't think there's ever really a *great* time to visit that part of the world. Right now might be a little more interesting, but the old part of Jerusalem is generally pretty safe. Can't recall tourists ever specifically being targeted by either groups either. Should settle down pretty fast hopefully. But yeah, I loved Jordan. Compact too. Easy to get around....can rent a taxi to drive you from one end of the country to the other for 20 bucks or so. The area around Madaba was cool too. Loads of history, the place where Jesus was baptized, where Moses saw the holy land, the Dead Sea etc. Back to top schwaJoined: 18 Jan 2003Location: Yap Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2012 10:36 pm Post subject: F=driver, maybe he means a female driver? If such an arrangement were possible, that would be ideal for a solo woman traveler. I went to Sri Lanka in 2006 from here & spent a couple incredible weeks. A male traveling alone, I hired a driver with a car (easy to arrange) for the duration of my stay who took me all over the island. He customized all my travel to my interests & got me good deals on good hotels each night. Easygoing & honest guy. Didnt cost me a lot. Sri Lanka is really compact. You can go from nice tropical beaches to temperate highlands in a couple hours. Kandy is awesome, check out the botanical gardens there. A big nature reserve (name escapes me now) in the southeast corner of the country is also impressive, lots of elephants & I glimpsed a leopard. Except for flying in & out, I skipped Colombo. Sri Lanka is culturally & historically rich. It has much of the flavor & color & smell of India (which I visited many years ago) without the hassles & in-your-face poverty. The people were pleasant & welcoming everywhere I went there & I never felt unsafe. Easy on the wallet too. This thread has me contemplating a return visit.

Also not helped by being there mid holiday season (no hotels) and essentially pouring with rain the entire time. I did enjoy the dozens of crows downtown though that had somehow learned to throw their trash and pieces of old meat on passersby. Could have spent hours watching them, lol. The cave temples at Dambulla just north of Kandy and also the nearby rock fortress at Sigiriya nearby are mindblowing. Some of the best beaches in the world down south too. Agree with Schwa that Sri Lanka (and also to a degree Nepal) are like India-lite. A lot of cultural similarities, but a lot less hardcore and insanity inducing. Sinhalese food is great stuff too. (*PS* as tempting as it may sound being right next to the airport try and avoid Negombo Beach. Something of a haven these days for Western pedos and gross slums lining the beach catering for the market.)

The rest of your post was right, but this is wrong. Jordan gave up any claim to the West Bank and Jerusalem in 1988. That crossing is the only spot where you'll avoid the stamp. Everywhere else, Jordan will stamp your passport (or Egypt, if you cross over from there). And when you enter Israel, you should request your passport to not be stamped, otherwise they might just do it out of habit. And OP, the rest are right, Qatar will bore you after a day or two. Maybe look into the UAE and Oman. The latter is really chill and gives you a nice taste of the middle east. Turkey is also a fantastic country you might want to consider visiting if you haven't already.

Manila and Phnom Penh are much more dangerous at night than Sri Lanka. I suggest you not take pictures of the military there. Remember there was a 30 year war that ended just a couple years ago. If you are in an autorickshaw and get stopped at a military roadblock I wouldn't make any fast movements. They will quickly see you are a foreigner and just wave you through. I had a great trip and I went just after the war ended. Good food, people more laid back than in India, nice beaches, interesting culture..........just take the normal precautions like staying near the crowds and not walking down dark alleys at night.

I don't want to book ahead, so it's reassuring I can just turn up. I'll check Aqaba out on your recommendation. I'm a day person, not the drinking and partying sort.

What about Negombo itself, or is it better to stay in Colombo for the first night? schwa; I am indeed interested in Kandy because of the gardens and the elephant sanctuary.

For a group of women at Yale, the last straw came in October, when fraternity pledges marched on campus shouting a sexually offensive slogan. The women complained to the Department of Education, which began an investigation by its Office of Civil Rights.
And that has ignited a national debate. Two of the 16 women who signed the complaint, which has not been made public, told morning news shows that Yale discriminates against women by allowing a "sexually hostile climate" to exist. Bloggers, civil libertarians and anonymous posters on Yale's student paper and elsewhere acknowledge the comments are sexist but say free speech is the real issue.
The incident also reflects concerns being raised more and more on campuses nationwide: What ever happened to common courtesy? And what to do about it?
There are plenty of examples of questionable behavior to go around. The secret videotaping last September of Rutgers freshman Tyler Clementi in a sexual encounter with another man springs to mind. Last month, a UCLA student posted a YouTube video, in which she tells Asian students who talk on cellphones in the library to "use American manners." That prompted accusations of racism on Internet posts – and, she says, death threats.
Richard Wells, chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, says a host of factors contributes to all the ugliness: The ease and perceived anonymity of technology. Increased campus diversity. Alcohol. The political climate.
"We've got to quit treating these things like they're isolated events," says Wells, who in February hosted a two-day workshop on the topic for leaders from the state's 26-campus university system. The workshop, called Civility in Everyday Life, was sparked by several incidents last fall across the 26-campus system, including one that started in a bar and ended with the death of a student.
George Mason University lecturer Leslie Morton teaches Professionalism and Civility at George Mason University.
On campuses nationwide, civility has become the mantra. The University of Nevada-Las Vegas in January signed off on a Statement of Civility that embraces "the articulation of unpopular and unsettling ideas" and "promotes the rights, safety, dignity, and value of every individual." At Rutgers, plans for a two-year initiative called Project Civility were already in the works when Clementi jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge. George Mason University last fall launched an elective called Professionalism and Civility.
"We're trying to encourage respect, tolerance," says George Mason lecturer Leslie Morton, who pitched the idea for the course after employers mentioned unprofessional behavior in internship evaluations."People don't take time to think about consequences. Who am I hurting? Will this be embarrassing?"
Colleges must walk a fine line. A federal court in 2007 ruled that California State University could not impose a requirement that students "be civil to one another" because the term is too vague.
Yale said it will cooperate with the Education Department investigation, and has formed its own committee, to begin in July, to address the allegations. But some observers say the women have gone too far in arguing that ugly language constitutes a hostile environment that limits their access to educational opportunities.
"When frat boys act badly, you stand up to them, or you ignore them. You start a movement to boycott the idiots," says lawyer and social critic Wendy Kaminer. "What you see in this complaint is the intolerance of free speech on college campuses."
A related concern has been raised about U.S. House and Senate proposals that would require colleges that receive federal aid to prohibit harassment of students. Critics say the legislation, named for Tyler Clementi, is well-intended but vague and at odds with a 1999 Supreme Court decision. Two students, each charged with two counts of invasion of privacy in the case, have withdrawn from Rutgers.
"However admirable the intentions, the act as written fails to protect student-speech rights and puts administrators in a miserable position," Will Creeley, of the non-profit Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, wrote in a Chronicle of Higher Education op-ed.
At UCLA Alexandra Wallace, the student who posted the YouTube video, also has withdrawn. She was not disciplined, though Chancellor Gene Block issued a statement saying he was "appalled by the thoughtless and hurtful comments." Commenters on Block's Facebook page disagree on whether Wallace's remarks were racist, but one person says she got what she deserved: "When (she) chose to practice her right of free speech, she should have been prepared to face the consequences."
At George Mason, Morton had a teachable moment last month when a squabble between two students over who had dibs on a library study room escalated to the point where one landed in jail on felony abduction charges. Those charges were dropped but the case is being reviewed by campus judicial affairs process. When Morton asked her students how the incident could have been prevented, she says, "Most of the response I got was, 'They need your class.' "
But they also acknowledge that it's easy to point a finger.
"Unless you actually look at yourself in the mirror a minute, you're not going to know if you're civil or not," says government major Liam Hennelly, 19, one of Morton's students. "Most people think they are, but they're really not."

At this point, light levels in our previews are not reflective (no pun intended) of how the sim will really look. The reason is simple: the light model is not fully debugged (who am I kidding -- it's not even remotely debugged) and it only takes one light model bug to completely throw off the light levels. So I think light levels are going to be a case where the sim's lighting looks a bit funny right up until the last bug is swatted - it's just the nature of those kinds of bugs.
To give you an idea of how much change there is in lighting from version 9 to 10, here's a short laundry list of sim changes that affect lighting:
Dynamic Exposure. X-Plane 10 reduces the effect of emissive (_LIT) textures base on the brightness of the sun. In X-Plane 9, emissive textures have the same impact regardless of time of day; thus a lighting effect that looks good at night will look too strong during the day. (In real life, you eyes would adjust for the sun and the artificial light would seem less bright.)
Linear Light Mode. This gets confusing fast, but basically, our eyes perceive light in a non-linear way; we are more sensitive to low light levels than bright light levels. Computer graphics mimick this behavior; the result is that most computer lighting models are physically incorrect in some circumstances. Using the non-linear eye-based behavior has been the norm for while because it was cheaper hardware-wise, but these days it is possible to do physically correct linear lighting. We are adding this wherever we can; the correctness varies with rendering settings since physically correct lighting is more expensive GPU-wise and we don't want to hurt fps for low-end users.
Deferred Rendering. X-Plane 10 has two rendering modes: a forward renderer (which is a lot like X-Plane 9) and a deferred renderer that supports global illumination and an HDR rendering space.* This creates a certain amount of chaos because the code for forward and deferred rendering are separate, and they seem to develop separate, unrelated lighting bugs.
Global Illumination. X-Plane 10 supports global illumination in deferred rendering mode, which means that thousands of lights can light up any part of the scenery system. Thsi means that (for the first time) an object may be lit by dozens of light sources at once. It turns out that the linear light model is a lot more important when we have more than one light source. (In fact, Alex and I realized that we needed a linear light model when looking at highways lit by streetlamps.)
New Light Billboards. X-Plane, like most flight simulators, uses billboards (textured squares that face the camera) to draw the light effects near a light source, like glare and bloom. The shape, textures, and equations for the light billboards are heavily revised in version 10.
Clouds. The weather system is being rebuilt, including new shaders for cloud puffs. Since cloud puffs aren't like solid buildings or airplanes, they have their own shaders with their own light characteristics. We are also experimenting with increased ground visibility, which affects fog.
* Some users may confuse HDR, which just means an image with increased dynamic range for light levels, with the more common effects that games ship once they have an HDR render: bloom and tone mapping. Bloom is when bright light sources "blow out" and splat light around nearby areas; tone mapping is a technique to visualize that high dynamic range on a normal monitor - often it is used to simulate your eyes adjusting to variable light levels.
I do not think we will ship bloom in version 10.0; I experimented with it and found it had almost no value. First, there are very few scenes in a flight simulator where bloom is that useful; it seems to be a lot more useful for interior rendering, like you'd see in a first person shooter. Second, X-Plane already has a number of bloom-like effects, including halos around lights via billboards, sun glare, etc. With most of the important cases already covered by ad-hoc effects, my early experiments with bloom weren't very promising. We may revisit bloom later, but I don't think it's as important as other effects for now.
Similarly, I don't think we will have dynamic tone mapping because we will have an overall dynamic exposure control running all of the time. Again, the value of tone mapping is more obvious with first person shooters, where you can go from interior to exterior and you want the world to be 'overpoweringly bright' for a while. By comparison, pilots do their best to preserve their night vision, and the interior of an airplane is designed to match that; instruments auto-calibrate their brightness to the overall light levels, making tone mapping less important.

A friend who is a priest told me this story.
A young couple were engaged to be married in a Catholic church. They had a request. They wanted to write and recite their wedding vows. The vows would be lighthearted, rhyming in Dr. Seuss fashion.
Uh, no, said the priest. The Catholic marriage rite did not allow for "I take you for my wedded wife, I do, I do, for my whole life," or whatever they had planned to say.
After they were pronounced man and wife, they wanted to depart from the church in a choreographed number to a rousing dance tune. Again, the priest said no. Novelty is appropriate at a reception party, not in church.
The wedding day arrived and the couple, somewhat resentful, recited the traditional vows. But as the couple turned to head down the aisle, a recording of the rousing dance tune was blasted from the choir loft, and the bride and groom wiggled down the aisle to the door. The betrayed priest fumed. He told the couple that their deliberate defiance was unacceptable. He would personally go to the archdiocese and have their wedding annulled. It was clear, the priest said, the couple lacked the maturity required for Catholic marriage.
Over the years, I have heard similar stories of Catholics wanting it their way when it comes to weddings. For example, getting married on a beach, not in a church. Or liturgy pulsing with pop music or hits from Broadway shows. (I attended a Catholic wedding where "Sunrise, Sunset" from "Fiddler on the Roof" was played as the bride came down the aisle.) Perhaps the worst was the story my mother told of going to a wedding where the groomsmen squirted the bride and groom with Silly String as they emerged from the church, getting some of the string on a statue of the parish's patron.
It is easy to see how a pastor would put the kibosh on these requests. But showbiz production value, with spotlights, curtain drops and club music, is not a part of a Catholic wedding, which are fewer and fewer each year in the United States.
The statistics are startling. In 1970, there were 426,000 Catholic weddings in the U.S. By 2013, that number had dropped 64 percent, to 154,000, according to statistics kept by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. The pace has accelerated, as Catholic weddings nationwide have dropped 40 percent since 2000. This is at the same time that the Catholic population in the U.S. has gone from 49 million to 77 million.
Emma Green, writing about these phenomena in The Atlantic, reports that the Millennial Generation is the least religiously affiliated of any American generation. The popularity of nontraditional weddings may be "an early sign of a generational shift ... with more and more people finding meaning beyond the walls and words of a church."
Or it could be that as the culture has grown secular and less sacred, so have weddings.
A few years ago, I attended a wedding expo. It was at the height of popularity for the "Bridezillas" reality TV show, and I thought it would make good column fodder. One image I have not shaken was a display by a wedding photographer who had a huge black and white photograph of a bride and groom before the altar at St. Catherine of Sienna Church, tongue kissing.
"Ah, blending sacred and profane," I told him.
"People kiss in church — you know that, right?" he said.
"Kiss like VJ Day in Times Square?"
"It's how they feel," he said.
Well, there ya go. You can have a marriage bound by Christ, or Silly String, silly music or general silliness. It's all about how you feel.
